She explains how she managed to fit in Portia's birthday party and some needed quality time with her kids.
Brandi explains why she left Portia's party early -- and it's not because she's afraid of Taylor.
Lisa doesn't understand why Kyle is saying one thing to Adrienne and another behind her back.
Taylor says she has more important things to worry about than Ms. Glanville.
Portia's birthday wish must not have been for Adrienne and Lisa or Brandi and Taylor to get along.

A Calgary private school unlawfully discriminated against two Muslim students by refusing to allow them to pray on campus, says the province's human rights tribunal.
The Alberta Human Rights Commission fined Webber Academy a total of $26,000 for distress and loss of dignity after the boys were forced to hide at the school or leave the property during the city's chilly winter to fulfill their faith's obligations.
Neil Webber, the facility's founder and president, said he was disappointed with the ruling released Thursday and said an appeal with Alberta's Court of Queen's Bench will be filed.
"A key pillar of our founding principles is that the school be a non-denominational environment in which children can thrive and focus on their academic success," Webber said.

MIAMI GARDENS, FL - FEBRUARY 07: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell watches teams warm up prior to the start of Super Bowl XLIV between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints on February 7, 2010 at Sun Life Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
Before the Baltimore Ravens stormed into Mile High and stole a game they weren't supposed to win, Roger Goodell, the commissioner of the National Football League, stood at the front of a packed fourth-floor lounge at the stadium and answered questions from a sea of Denver Broncos' season-ticket holders. For more than 40 minutes, and then for another 10 minutes with a group of reporters, Goodell spoke about all the ills that currently plague the league. Is the league considering more rule changes to help player safety? Will Kevlar helmets soon be mandated in order to prevent players' brains from turning to mush? Has the NFL's crisis changed from a health and safety problem for players into an existential problem for the league? It was a flurry of bad news on top of bad news. Yet the strange part was, these weren't outraged fans demanding change from the league. They were as concerned about players as they were worried about losing the essence of the one sport America is most deeply...

The personal injury attorneys at Katherman Briggs & Greenberg are all experienced litigators. Almost all of them represented insurance companies prior to becoming advocates for injured people, which provides them with a unique perspective and insight into how these companies operate. They also offer extensive courtroom experience if going to trial is the best legal alternative for the client.
Our injury lawyers understand how to avoid the traps set by the insurance companies. As a rule, insurers attempt to force claimants to settle quickly and for an amount less than they truly deserve. A quick settlement avoids the prospect of a lawsuit where the company conceivably could be required to pay out large sums of money. In many cases, a quick settlement is not in the best interests of the claimant. Effective legal representation can often lead to a more fair and just settlement.
All our attorneys are accomplished trial lawyers offering a wide range of experience in all areas of personal injury law. We represent individuals who've been injured in all types of vehicle accidents, including those involving autos, motorcycles and tractor-trailers. We help families facing the devastating loss of a loved one due to wrongful death or as a result of medical malpractice. We also assist in the appeals process for those who have been denied Social Security or Veterans' Disability benefits. Read answers to some common questions about retaining an attorney.

Chihuahua Caution and Dangers Of Owning A Chihuahua
Like other small dogs, the
Apple head chihuhauas are prone to have hydrocephalus.

( Excessive water on the brain, Soft spot not closing. And a lot of people complain at the way they look as adults with protruding eyes.) See pictures of our Dear Head Chihuahuas in the Photo Section this is the type of
Hydrocephalus is the mulfunction of drainage system of the brain responsible for evacuating the cerebrospinal fluid from the brain into the circulatory system. In hydrocephalus condition the fluid builds up in the two large interconnecting chambers, and the brain and skull become enlarged because of the accumulation of the fluid. Hydrocephalus may be an acquired or congenital (present at birth) condition and may be caused by birth defects of the brain's drainage system, head injuries, tumors, parasitic or other infections. In young dogs, the presense of a dome-shaped head and/or non-closing, or persistent fontanel (also called fontanella) may indicate the development of hydrocephalus. Fontanel is a small gap between the incompletely formed cranial bones. Several such spots are usually present at birth and in most cases close usually by 3 or 4 months of age. In Chihuahua, the frontal fontanel, or molera, remains unclosed and this does not harm the dog.
Signs of Hydrocephalus include depression, severe loss of movement coordination, eye abnormalities, seizures, vision problems, and skull enlargement. Young affected puppies offen show unthriftiness - slow growth as compared to their littermates.

Re: no sound with latest nforce drivers (1.0-0283)
I'm getting the same problem as you as well. Have tried compiling the kernel with and without alsa support and OSS.
I read somewhere that alsa support can be left enabled in the kernel as long as three oss emulation related options are turned off:
OSS Mixer API
OSS PCM (digital audio) API
OSS Sequencer API
once these have been turned off all the is left to do is enable OSS by compiling in :
Open Sound System (DEPRECATED)
as a module.
Tried this but still no luck, everything seems to have been installed fine. Indeed when I open up xmms to play a mp3 (after installing the correct mp3 rpm
) and select the audio output as using the OSS it will tryn and play the mp3 for a few seconds then stops, producing no audio in that short space of time.
However uncommenting the snd-intel8x0 and returning to the old alsa drivers and rebooting the sounds works again for the analogue, but the nvidia drivers no longer seem to function correctly (all options in the information page ofthe nvmixer are blank).
Getting quite annoying now, just need somebode who has got these drivers working to post what exactly they have compiled in there kernel as to oss and alsa support (and potentially if they are modules or built into the kernel). And also what they have in thier modprobe.conf, i.e what have they enabled and disabled.
anyhow sorry for the long post, first one as well so hope i'm not jumping in at the deep end.
as a note I'm running fc2 and the latest kernel; 2.6.8-1.521 with a asus a7n8x-e deluxe mobo

Helen Pedrino made $378,000, she said.
Hightower told jurors the network was so integrated, it easily fooled sophisticated investors.
Back-end bookkeeping companies and mail drops had been set up in Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert and Palm Springs. Names picked for shell companies were similar to well-established and viable investment ventures, like Pacific Wealth of San Diego.
Thatâs the company Weber said she thought she was dealing with.
âIt was insidious,ââ said Weber, who after two days of testimony crumbled under cross-examination by Montecastro. Weber blurted out: âWe trusted you. We trusted that the companies knew what they were doing.â
Weber said she thinks the cast of characters who functioned like a tight-knit family still do, resting on one statement Hightower made in closing arguments.
Speaking to Montecastro's claim that he, too, was duped, Hightower said one of his last deeds before the Ponzi scheme imploded spoke volumes: He wrote a $500,000 check to a nonprofit foundation called The Biocybernaut Institute. The institute offered brainwave biofeedback to followers.
Why would anyone make a donation like that, if they were losing money? Hightower asked.

You will only be able to step-up to a vanilla GTX285 or Vanilla GTX295. EVGA does not allow you to go from a GTX280 SSC to a GTX285 SSC with the step-up program.
Vanilla = reference design clocks/base entry level card only. Not SC,SSC,FTW
The step-up was the reason I paid a little extra for the EVGA, will not do that again.

For accountability's sake, allow me to explain my vote, starting with the would-haves and wouldn'ts.
I would have wanted to vote for Gibo Teodoro as president; he was the most brilliant candidate, and he ran the only positive campaign. He stuck to the high road, and could rightfully claim, in his miting de avance, that he had not made any unreasonable campaign promises. But he was, he is, on the wrong side of history. He represents the Arroyo administration, which has done more than any post-Marcos government to undermine the institutions of democracy. Indeed, in a twist worthy of Greek tragedy, Gibo's personal values (delicadeza, old-fashioned chivalry, a sense of responsibility, qualities that recommend him as a person) are the very things that prevent him from taking a harder line against President Arroyo and her excesses—thus proving that, no matter how much he tried to distance himself from her shadow, it continues to loom over him. Lesson: Personal qualities alone are (sadly) not enough. Continue reading

The weather has finally turned and the chill of fall is at last in the air.
Throughout Brunswick County, families have been busy transforming their homes and yards into frightful fun as they prepare for Halloween night. Store shelves are stocked with ghoulish decorations and an assortment of candy—everything from traditional popcorn balls, to chocolate bars and lots of eewy, gooey, gross things to delight taste buds.
WILMINGTON—The most important game of the West Brunswick High School football season comes one week after probably the most disappointing loss of the season.
When the Trojans play Jacksonville on homecoming Friday night, the Mideastern Conference 3-A title will be at stake. That should be enough motivation for the Trojans to bounce back from the 30-13 loss Friday at Laney.
A Taste of Brunswick County at this year's Communities in Schools of Brunswick County, Inc.'s Seventh Annual Benefit Gala for Children was the highlight of the evening, Cynthia Tart, executive director, said.
About 20 local restaurants provided the 650 Gala attendees with samples of their best cuisine. A silent and live auction captured the guests' interests, and live entertainment was provided by Wilmington band The 360-Degrees.
NORTHWEST—Glenn Rogers' smile brightens as he talks about two of the most special things in his life—his hunting dogs—and it's not just because they're loyal companions.
Rogers spends nearly all his free time training his retrievers, "Jazzy" a yellow, 3-year-old female, and "Tank" a black, 5-year-old male, as expert hunting dogs. His hard work has paid off.
Rogers has a houseful of trophies and plaques to show for his training, and Jazzy and Tank are master hunters.
SHALLOTTE—After 20 months as this town's first planner, Chris Rogers resigned Monday after learning his job was posted on the North Carolina League of Municipalities Web site.
According to Rogers, someone he knows e-mailed him a link to the job posting. When Rogers confronted town administrator Paul Sabiston about it, Sabiston said he was "looking at options."
"I resigned on the spot," Rogers said.
He said he thought Sabiston's actions were "unprofessional."
SUPPLY—About three quarters of homeowners in the Civietown fire district should see a decrease in their homeowners' insurance after the fire department's recent fire rating drop.
Assistant chief Mark Hewett said the department's recent reduction in the state's department of insurance ratings should mean lower homeowners' insurance for 74 percent of homeowners in their six-mile fire district.
Brunswick County has received a $75,000 grant from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources' Recreational Trail Program to create a series of equestrian trails, one of the first steps toward implementation of the planned Coastal Events Center.
The county has two years to renovate 5.6 miles of existing trails, construct a new 1-mile trail and install trail signs at the site of the future events center, planned for 150 acres belonging to the county on N.C. 211.
BOLIVIA—Brunswick County Commissioners will wait to receive endorsements from municipalities before giving the green light to the county's comprehensive traffic plan.
At their regular meeting Monday night, commissioners put off a vote to endorse the plan, saying they first wanted municipalities to have public hearings before voting on endorsing the plan.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—The town of Ocean Isle beach learned at its monthly meeting last Tuesday the park planned for construction on Old Georgetown Road is scheduled to be completed by July 2009.
Diane Bagby is standing by her man.
Her husband Tom Bagby recently resigned his post as Brunswick County Tax Administrator at the request of the board of commissioners.
While Tom Bagby said last week he was surprised by the commissioners' request for his resignation, Diane Bagby had much more to say at Monday night's county commissioners' meeting.
Diane Bagby argued Tom Bagby was not given an opportunity to express his opinion after the board made its decision at its last meeting, even though he was at the meeting.

Republicans are already warning GOP convention goers to be on their best behavior in Tampa this year. Texas Rep. Pete Sessions is warning that even grabbing a cup of coffee can look bad if you're not careful.
With the advent of cell phones, anyone can be an opposition tracker, so members should be wary of doing anything questionable in public, Rep. Pete Sessions, the National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, warned fellow Republicans at a Capitol Hill meeting Wednesday.
"Let's say you are going to have a cup of coffee. Perhaps, it's a late night cup of coffee. Be careful," the Texas Republican said at a conference committee meeting, according to several sources who attended.
The message was "just be aware that even if you don't think you are being a dumb a— and you are going to events, it can still look bad," one Republican lawmaker said of the meeting.

Aug 2014 - $28.00
We've stayed here before, biggest thing going for this campground is the location north of Indianapolis. The access off I-69 is good, however the entrance off the county road it's located on seems very narrow. The owner apparently hasn't graded the interior roads in several years. If it rains your campsite will be very wet with standing water. There are several seasonal campers on the property in various states of disrepair. Actual pull-through campsites for over-night stays is less than 6, since some are always taken by monthly rentals by traveling workers. A phone call would be advised before visiting this campground. - Teacher's Pet
Jul 2014 - $28.00
Owner lives on site, older couple that seem friendly. The roads are dirt/gravel and the spaces are gravel. Ours was level and the others seem level. Easy access to the sights and all the temporary ones are pull through. No trees, no pool, no laundry or play area for kids. There are some full time residences in shabby run down trailers, but they are off in the wooded area and you don't see them readily. There is a bath house that is run down. The women's side had 3 toilets, only 2 worked and 2 showers, only one worked. Hubby said the men's side was the same. The internet site stated the price was $25 so we were surprised when we were told the price was $28. We mentioned the price difference and he said his wife was supposed to change it. I would have rated it higher except for the bare bones, lack of amenities and condition of the bath house. It is an ok place if you have a fully contained unit and are only going to sleep there and have other places to go during the day. - esta34950
May 2014 - $28.00
The pull through sites were long enough for our big rig and level, drive is gravel with lots of grass between sites. Full hookups with 50 amp service. It's in the country, nice and quiet, yet only a mile from I-69. It was a good base camp while we visited the area. - southwestgal

Baltimore Sun NFL Mock Draft 3.0
Now that the bulk of the significant free agent signings have concluded, the remaining needs of NFL teams have crystallized heading into the NFL draft.
Here is The Sun's third mock draft of the offseason and the first from reporter Aaron Wilson. He projects the 32 first-round picks based on team needs and the talents of each prospect in what's shaping up as a deep draft class.

3. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Blake Bortles QB, Central Florida
The Jaguars' quest for a franchise quarterback finally ends. Bortles is a strong-armed, accurate passer known for his intelligence and poise, and he's drawn comparisons to Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Considered for months as a potential top overall pick, Bortles doesn't fall far and winds up just a few hours away from where he played in college.

Silver Spring Networks strategy update: One platform to rule them all
By: SGN Staff
By Jesse Berst
Silver Spring Networks (SSN) was undeniably one of the most influential early smart grid companies. It helped transform the sector's approach to open standards, meter communications, utility sales, platforms, partner ecosystems and more.
Given SSN's penchant for blazing trails, it pays to keep a close eye on where the company is going next. With that in mind, I spent time with Anil Gadre, Executive Vice President of Products and Chief Marketing Officer. He tells a story that is both thrilling and terrifying.
Thrilling because companies like SSN are leading us into an amazing period when smart technologies will transform, not just utility backrooms, but everyday life for everyday citizens all over the world. Terrifying because utilities are going to be smack in the middle -- and some of them will get run over by these changes. Many utilities are not culturally set up to manage rapid changes like the ones discussed below. What's worse, many utilities are not allowed to radically transform because of regulatory restrictions.
But resolving the regulatory quandary is a topic for other articles, like the recent story on the 5 steps to get America the transmission it needs. The subject of this piece is what's coming from SSN and what it will mean to electric power utilities. Please use the Comment form to add your own insights to enhance and enlarge this picture of our joint future.
If you haven't paid attention to Silver Spring Networks (SSN) for a while, here are a few of its most important progress points. SSN has significantly:
· Strengthened its platform position with additional capabilities
· Strengthened its partner ecosystem with additional partners
· Expanded its product line, with notable additions in demand side management, distribution automation and smart street lighting
· Expanded its presence in the muni market (where the SSN street lighting story is a great entree)
· Evolved its core message
The evolving message
Over the years, SSN's position has grown from "the network for metering" to "the network for electric power" to "the network for energy" to "the network for everything" to "the platform for the everything network." To understand why, glance at the nearby chart, which the company often includes in its presentations to analysts. As you climb the chart, the addressable market goes from 10s of millions to billions. And that means SSN's potential revenues climb as well.
Silver Spring Networks now positions itself as a platform for the much larger "Internet of Everything" market.
In the early days, conversations with utilities were about building the business case for an AMI network. Now, says Gadre, "the conversations we have are all about how to deliver unexpected value from their original grid investments." Typically, that means layering on applications such as demand side management or distribution automation.
The surprising success of street lights
Of all SSN's new offerings, smart street lighting may be the most successful, at least in terms of pace. Smart streetlights have hit a tipping point due to the convergence of two trends. The first is LED streetlamps. By swapping in LEDs, cities can (according to SSN), save roughly 65% on energy costs and 90% on maintenance costs. The second is the ability to network the street lights so they can be managed remotely.
Since street lights typically blanket the entire city; and since they already have power; and since they already sit up high; they make an ideal place to create a "canopy network" for the entire city. Ideally, a city will be able to swap in the LEDs and add the communication module with a single truck roll. "Once you have that canopy network, a lot of things can get on to it," Gadre explains. "And a city network is not constrained by the regulations that restrict most AMI networks at utilities. It becomes a network for any smart infrastructure."
Challenges ahead
SSN finds itself at the cusp of an exciting growth phase, but also at the door of a new set of problems:
Successfully repositioning themselves. SSN has had a positioning problem for years. In early days it was often lumped with smart meter companies. In fact, it never made meters, it makes communications modules and networks that work with meters from many different manufacturers.
Yet even the "meter communications" label is terribly inadequate, since SSN goes far beyond metering and far beyond communications. Indeed, if you look at SSN's current lineup (including that provided by partners), it is beginning to challenge some of the Big Boys in the breadth of its offerings.
But the difficulty of positioning itself within the electric power sector pales in comparison to the problem of positioning itself as a smart city provider. Companies such as Cisco, IBM and Microsoft are spending tens of millions to raise their smart cities profile. It's hard for a smaller company to get noticed amidst all the noise. Perversely, SSN's success in the smart grid space may haunt it if it gets locked into that box. (And I'm not even including the challenge of repositioning itself with the financial analysts who influence its stock price, some of whom prefer companies with a narrow focus.)
Competing from the middle. SSN was early to the smart grid space and pioneered many of the seminal concepts. Today, however, the smart grid formula is well known. And when it comes to the smart city market, SSN is behind much larger companies such as Cisco, IBM, Accenture and others who have been plowing that ground for years, as mentioned earlier.
Convincing the world that RF-mesh can scale. SSN's competitors often hint that the Silver Spring network can easily run out of headroom. That's wrong, says Anil Gadre who claims that "we've never been stopped in a deal by network constraints." What's more, SSN is not locked into RF -- it has had cellular-based solutions for some time. Gadre promises that "we will use the right technology for the right problem. What matters is to get the job done at lowest cost to connect and operate."
Even so, SSN is not just competing with other vendors of RF-based solutions. It must now contend with the giant cellular companies, who are determined to make machine-to-machine (in general) and smart grid (in particular) a major part of their business. Lesson: SSN has to make scalability a stronger part of its marketing message.
Getting better at supporting the competition. Few utilities are going to rip out an existing communications network that is performing well, even if it lacks the headroom to add more applications. We're in a world of mix-and-match "hybrid" networks. If SSN wants to have one platform to rule them all, it will have to expand its ability to use its control and security platform to manage networks other than its own. For instance, competitor Trilliant is out with a new version of what it now calls its "multi-technology platform," trumpeting its ability to combine "global 2.4 GHz RF mesh, M2M cellular, broadband mesh, and other standards-based technologies."
Growing its partner network. In the platform world, long-term success correlates closely with the size and success of your partner network. The best examples -- Cisco and Microsoft come to mind -- do several things very well. For one, they have a partnering "engine" in place with standard approaches to testing, certification and joint marketing. For another, they work hard to bring business to their partners. Related to this is the ability to manage co-opetition. They leave some of the spoils strictly to partners. But they occasionally choose to build out an application themselves and they manage to do so without angering the partner community. It's a delicate dance. SSN is off to a strong start, but it's going to be a long race against better-funded competitors.
More to come
The next time we take an up-close look at SSN, I predict we'll be talking about analytics. SSN has partners and offerings in that space, but it is working on ideas to separate "Silver Spring-powered analytics" from the pack. And I also think that SSN -- in line with most of its competition -- will offer more services. You'll certainly see lots of cloud-based analytics, of course. But perhaps even a hosted network. If utilities are willing to rent a network from a phone company, would they rent one from other entities as well?
That's for tomorrow. In the meantime, use the Comment form to leave your opinions of SSN's strengths, challenges and opportunities today.

Bank of Canada says deep discounting in stores is a disinflation threatSubmitted by Faarooq Mehmood on Thu, 12/05/2013 - 13:41
Profound discounting by retailers is spreading disinflation said the Bank of Canada. This is a happening due to more consumers crossing the border to shop for the new arrival here of U. S. chains such as Target Corp.
The bank blamed excessive supply in the economy and discriminating competition in the retail sector, which it said are proving to be more persistent than predicted.

About Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart arrhythmia in which the upper chambers of the heart beat in an uncoordinated and disorganised fashion, which can cause palpitations, shortness of breath and fatigue. Atrial fibrillation (AF) currently represents a major economic burden for society(3). 70 percent of the annual cost of AF management is driven by inpatient care and interventional procedures(4). Hospitalizations for AF have increased dramatically (2- to 3-fold) in recent years(5). AF hospitalizations now represent a third of all hospitalizations for arrhythmia and mortality. AF affects nearly seven million people in the European Union and the United States(6).
The condition is increasingly frequent with advancing age and is often caused by age-related changes in the heart or as a result of cardiovascular disease. AF increases the risk of stroke five-fold and heart failure two- to three-fold. AF also doubles the risk of mortality and is an independent risk factor for sudden cardiac death.
Without appropriate management, AF can lead to serious complications such as stroke and congestive heart failure. In addition to preventing stroke and reducing the burden of the disease, successful management of AF should also aim at further reducing CV morbidity and mortality(7).
The aims of treatment for patients with AF are related to managing the arrhythmia itself and to the prevention of thromboembolism (obstruction of a blood vessel caused by fragments of a blood clot carried from the site of origin to obstruct another vessel). Atrial fibrillation may be treated with medications which either slow the heart rate or revert the heart rhythm back to normal.

Introduction: The Antidiscrimination & Labor Division (UALD) Fair Housing unit administers and enforces the Utah Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, source of income, familial status, sexual orientation, or gender identity. The Act specifically prohibits discrimination against anyone who wants to rent or purchase real property (houses, condos apartments, etc.) based on the listed categories. Additionally, based on a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, anyone who files a housing discrimination complaint with our office is automatically filing with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This means we are a dual-filing office.
Mediation: Our Fair Housing unit mediates fair housing cases. Through our mediation process we can often reach an agreement between a renter/purchaser and the landlord/owner saving everyone involved a lot of time and unnecessary costs. We understand that a speedy resolution of a case is in everyone's best interest. However, if the resolution conference is unsuccessful, we will promptly investigate the claim in order to resolve all allegations of housing discrimination.
Education & Outreach: Our housing unit also acts as a resource to renters, purchasers, property managers and owners by providing workshops and offering advice concerning laws which prohibit housing discrimination. Compliance through educational presentations has effectively been utilized by our Fair Housing Unit as a means to encourage voluntary compliance.
Believing that education and public awareness is at the heart of ending housing discrimination throughout Utah, the Antidiscrimination Division offers a wide range of outreach educational opportunities to increase Fair Housing knowledge, understanding, and responsibilities.
The educational outreach workshops are interactive and tailored to an organization's needs. The presenter, Dr. David Parker, has decades of experience leading and facilitating workshops both in Utah and across the nation.
The conversation about Fair Housing is one for every member of the community. This includes students, teachers, faith leaders, advocates, housing providers (landlords), tenants, attorneys, state and local representatives, and most importantly, the people in protected classes who are facing housing discrimination.
Here are some examples of what Dr. Parker can offer and has offered:
These are a few of the examples of the educational presentations that are offered. Special requests are welcome and accommodations for your organization can be discussed.
To discuss or schedule a presentation please contact Dr. David Parker at 385-321-9317 or email@example.com

Plants & Shrubs
Texas Superstars. These plants are hardy, tolerating the hot dry summers characteristic of most parts of the state. They are disease and insect tolerant, providing beauty with minimal care and minimal reliance on chemical pest control.
Flowers for all Seasons. Annual flowers can provide landscaped areas with more seasonal variety and colorful accents than most other plants. The key to success with annuals is to plant only the area that can be adequately cared for. Remember, color can have more impact on the landscape than any other design element. However, nothing has a more negative impact than a poorly maintained color area.

New Gene Krupa Orchestra, Led by Michael Berkowitz, Comes to Centenary Stage, 7/12
Although groomed to be a priest by his devout parents, audiences can celebrate the fact that legendary drummer Gene Krupa found a different calling. Kicking off Centenary Stage Company's (CSC) Summer Jamfest Series is the New Gene Krupa Orchestra led by Michael Berkowitz on Saturday, July 12th at 8 pm at Hackettstown's Lackland Center. Michael Berkowitz brings the legendary Krupa magic back to life for a whole new generation. With an infectious energy that draws both listeners and dancers alike, this concert is a winner with audiences of all ages.
Berkowitz stays loyal to Gene Krupa's original arrangements after devoting much of his time to a special project of his own. "There was a fire at Gene's house that destroyed all his music and mementoes," says Berkowitz. "Over the years I have put together the charts [we use] from various sources." Berkowitz has in his possession the drum parts from the film The Gene Krupa Story with Gene's pencil marks and name scrawled across-obtained directly from Columbia Pictures-and the score to Leave Us Leap, signed by Gene himself, which will be the band's opening number. Fans from miles around have been abuzz about this ensemble of musicians including a concert-goer flying in from New Hampshire to hear Krupa's music the way it was originally meant to be played.
Tickets for The New Gene Krupa Orchestra are $30 for Adults and $20 for youth under 18. Other concerts in the Summer Jamfest include America's Got Talent Finalist Alice Tan Ridley on July 19th, Night Fever: An Evening of the Bee Gees on July 26th, Good Vibrations: A Celebration of the Beach Boys on August 2nd, and Bobby Caldwell with his Big Band on August 9th. Ticket prices range from $27.50 to $35 for adults. CSC's Summer Jamfest is sponsored by The House of the Good Shepherd.
With a reputation for being one of the best deals in the state, the Summer Jamfest is available to purchase as a Flex Pass to all five events for $135.00 per person or choose three events for $90.00. Prices for individual concerts increase by $5 on the day of the performance. Tickets are available online at www.centenarystageco.org, or by calling the box office at 908-979-0900. They may also be purchased through the CSC Box office at 715 Grand Ave., open 1-5 PM Monday through Friday, and 2 hours prior to each performance.

Mini chive pancakes with sour cream and smoked salmon
I was going to my parents place down the coast for Christmas drinks and Mum was making mini chive pancakes with sour cream and smoked salmon, a recipe taken from the Coles Christmas magazine. I remembered that I had a sample packet of Vitarium's pancake mix in the cupboard and therefore decided to make a few gluten free pancakes for myself.
I made up the pancakes, however added quite a lot more milk than the directions on the packet suggested as they were too thick. I also hadn't realised that you were supposed to add chives to the pancake mixture before cooking them, so I didn't do this. The pancakes took a long time to cook compared to the glutenous ones, however that's a bonus if you all too often burn things! (it also means you can walk away and do something else in the meantime knowing that they wont burn).
Then all you need to do is place a dollop of sour cream on each pancake, sprinkle with chives and then place a piece of smoked salmon on top.
The gluten free pancakes were a little rubbery (especially after they cooled down), however with the toppings they tasted great and are a great party snack.
What is your favourite quick and easy gluten free party snack?

Steve and Eva Epstein are sharing their special wedding day with hundreds of other couples in Washoe County, but that doesn't matter to this couple because Steve Epstein says Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year.
Although Minister Stan Stoll says that's not the only reason couples decide to get married on Valentine's Day. "A lot of times they just want to remember their anniversary easily, it's our busiest day next to new years and people love to get married on the day of love," he says.
That's why marriage licenses applications triple when valentine's day falls on a weekday.
The Washoe County Clerk says as many as 75 to 140 people will apply for a license on Valentines Day.
You might be surprised to find out Valentine's Day is actually the second busiest day to get married.
Workers at the Arch of Reno Wedding Chapel say New Years Eve is the most popular time to get married.

Prototype device finds and blocks illegal filming
University researchers have developed a system to detect still and video cameras and put an end to their filming.
The team at the Georgia Institute of Technology believe that the device, which shoots a blinding white light at the camera's sensor, could reduce or eliminate film piracy by rendering any illicit filming in a cinema unwatcheable.
The device cannot, however, detect the sensors on DSLRs, the cameras favoured by paparazzi photographers, because they're hidden by the cameras' the mirror mechanism.
The sensor that detects the CCDs works because CCDs reflect light back to the source, rather than scattering it.
The device consists of camera-mounted sensors, lighting equipment, a project, and a computer.
It's isn't ready for implementation yet because it hasn't been fine-tuned. "The biggest problem is making sure we don't get false positives from, say, a large shiny earring", said one of the research assistants in the Georgia Tech team.
The device could be used at a variety of venues, including outside secure government facilities, and inside convention halls and movie theatres.
The film industry is likely to greet news of the invention with joy, as film piracy in China alone is believed to cost in the way of $2.7 billion.

Big tip of the cap to Inside Hoops.com for this video from Montclair State University in New Jersey, home of the Red Hawks. Kyrie Irving was involved in a game or two of pick-up basketball on campus yesterday it appears. The video is mostly of Kyrie draining long range jumpers over would be defenders, but at the end we see something rarely on display from the Cavaliers' most recent rookie of the year- his dunking prowess. All that was missing was the old man make-up and baggy gray sweatshirt. [Related: A big summer for Kyrie in more ways than one]

ESSAY: African Americans and Civil War in Evansville
Most Evansville residents before and during the Civil War had little sympathy for African Americans, until emancipation forced local citizens to reconsider.
In his January 1, 1863, Emancipation Proclamation, Abraham Lincoln wrote: "all persons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." He added, "And I further declare and make known, that such persons of suitable condition, will be received into the armed service of the United States to garrison forts, positions, stations, and other places, and to man vessels of all sorts in said service."
Emancipation in rebellious parts of the country and military service for African Americans had several ramifications for Evansville's whites and blacks. Although Kentucky slaves were not freed by Lincoln's proclamation, increasing numbers sought to free themselves by crossing the Ohio River to Indiana. Yet, the freedom of both escaped slaves and free citizens was at risk. The Evansville Journal on March 11, 1863, condemned the "illegal seizure of negroes in this city, for the purpose of selling them into bondage in Kentucky." In the same article, the reporter concluded, "We did not stop to inquire the politics of the men engaged in the nefarious business. Politically and personally, we believe, some of them have been our friends. But their desire for money overcame principles of right and justice, and they engaged in a business that was in violation of law. We trust for the reputation of the men themselves, and for the sake of the good name of our city — if not for the sake of humanity — we may never be called on again to record such instances as those we felt impelled to notice several days ago."
The proposal to arm African Americans was hotly debated in Indiana, as well as elsewhere. After being denied the right to join the military, some African American Hoosiers enlisted in the 54th Massachusetts Regiment. But by late 1863 and early 1864, attitudes had changed. With high quotas for more and more soldiers, Indiana had difficulty raising troops without resorting to a draft. One solution, though, was to enlist black troops. In November 1863 Indiana Governor Morton authorized such action. Now local governments actively competed with one another to fill their quota by paying hefty bounties to men of color. Ironically, men violently opposed the to idea of African Americans serving in the military just a few months earlier now willingly hired black substitutes to avoid the draft for themselves.
At the same time, Evansville citizens displayed compassion for the families of freed slaves in the South. When well-known abolitionist Levi Coffin came to Evansville on June 9, 1864, to plead for assistance in clothing such families. Evansvillians responded by donating clothing and money.
Nevertheless, racial bias remained intact during the war so that African American residents were viewed as second-class citizens at best. Perhaps that fact is best illustrated by an account of the 1864 murder of a quiet, black pastor named Jackson.

A new program shuttles inner city kids from crime-ridden MacArthur Park in downtown Los Angeles to the ocean so they can become part of Southern California's most popular pastime and learn to surf, reports CBS News Correspondent Sandra Hughes.
The Surf Bus shuttles aspiring young wave surfers from their neighborhoods to the beaches of Santa Monica.
"Most of these kids – 70 percent – don't even get to the beach," says Larry Mellon, an employee of the Los Angeles City Recreation and Parks Department.
It may take all summer for the participants just to learn how to stand up. Their instructors hope their lessons in surfing translate into lessons for life.
"Anyone can do it. It has nothing to do with the color. Has nothing to do with your neighborhood. It just takes someone with tenacity," says instructor Nicole Goodwin.
It also takes ambition - one thing these wave riders are not lacking. Aspiring surfer Amy Morishita says, "I want to be able to go out, deep, deep, deep inside the ocean and see how to go out and ride the biggest wave, the tallest wave."
There have been problems with cultural differences. "Some Hispanic kids don't want to take their jeans off," says Russ Lesser, a program sponsor. "We've had drownings where they'll fall in a hole and the jeans then become like a sea anchor and drag them down."
Surf instructor Mary Setterholm says, "Wherever you are, if you feel it in your heart that you want to go out and be part of waves, come on out and be part of waves."
