Knoxville lawyer Pamela Reeves to mediate in TVA ash-spill case
Fla. lawyer also tapped for role in ash suit
A Knoxville attorney is one of two people who have been appointed as mediators in a class-action lawsuit linked to the 2008 TVA coal ash spill in Roane County.
In an order filed last week, U.S. District Judge Tom Varlan approved the appointment of Knoxville attorney Pamela Reeves and Florida attorney Rodney Max as joint mediators in the case. Both individuals had been recommended by the parties in the case.
The litigation centers on the 2008 ash spill at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston Fossil Plant, which fouled the Emory River and the surrounding Roane County countryside with 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash.
Some 872 plaintiffs are suing TVA over damages that are allegedly related to the spill. Varlan had previously found TVA liable in the spill, and in November the judge ordered the two sides to agree on a mediator and gave them 120 days to reach a settlement through that process.
TVA had previously favored holding off on mediation. The utility had proposed that an initial round of plaintiffs be allowed to go to trial and then any resultant appeal be settled by an appeals court before mediation was considered.
Reeves is an attorney with Reeves, Herbert & Anderson, whose practice focuses on mediation, arbitration and employment matters.
She is a past president of the Tennessee Bar Association and the American College of Civil Trial Mediators, and writes a column for the News Sentinel on legal matters.
Max specializes in mediation and arbitration and is also a past president of the ACCTM.
According to his website, Max was appointed by the federal court to review appeals from the claims administrator in the Deep Water Horizon disaster for claims arising out of Florida and Alabama.
Gary Davis, an attorney for plaintiffs in the case, said Thursday that they were pleased to reach an agreement with TVA on the appointment of "two top-notch mediators," adding that "we think if anyone can get it done, they can."
Both Reeves and Max declined comment on the appointment.

Investigators randomized the 102 women into four groups to consume twice daily either the isoflavone (26 women) or one of the three doses of the S-equol supplement (24 in the 10 mg, 27 in the 20 mg and 25 in the 40 mg groups). The lowest dose of S-equol used, 10 mg, was based on preliminary studies that investigated the relationship between S-equol and menopausal symptoms including hot flashes in Japanese women, while the higher doses were used to reflect the larger body mass in Western women and to establish a dose response. The S-equol supplement tablets each contained 5.0 mg S-equol, 1.0 mg daidzein, 1.1 mg genistein, and 2.5 mg glycitein. The soy isoflavone tablets contained 24 mg daidzein, 22 mg genistein, and 2.0 mg glycitein as aglycone equivalent. The placebo tablets contained lactose.
The women had diets controlled for soy foods, isoflavones and lignans, compounds found in certain plants that are known as phytoestrogens because of their estrogen-like properties. The study included a seven-day period before the treatment weeks to allow for elimination of any women who responded to a placebo. Women also were tested to determine their ability to produce S-equol after eating soy. The study included 72 percent equol nonproducers and 28 percent equol producers, which represents the previously reported US equol producer ratio. The investigators randomized the equol producers equally into each of the study's treatment groups.
No previous studies have report

People are okay with Dunn-bashing, but when someone points out that Brandon Phillips has done NOTHING (and let's not kid ourselves, a mid-.500 OPS at the MLB level and only a decent minor league record is NOTHING) in baseball, and further is doing nothing to change his plate approach, that's a crime.
This crap is going to make me insane. I really need to stay off these threads dealing with Dunn. Just avoid them altogether.

Posted 03 February 2004 - 04:46 AM
The prices I have seen have been 43.02 euros on all the German sites. convert to US dollars is 53.45. WHich IS the price that they had been roughly reporting on the smartxx channel on quaknet. This does not include the LCD. SO maybe with the LCD jump up to the $70 you mentioned.

Quick thinker helped collar robber in black
Juan Rivera helped in capture of man suspected of robbery
When a man dressed black ran out of a bank on Feb. 25, Juan Rivera thought it was strange enough to follow.
Rivera was recognized Wednesday by the Corpus Christi Police Department for his part in the arrest of a man now charged with robbery.
"It had been humid that morning because of the fog," said Rivera, 51. "I thought 'It's too hot to be all covered up, something's wrong. This guy needs to be caught."
Rivera said he hadn't pulled into the First National Bank, 1434 S. Port Ave, when he saw the man running so he followed slowly in his truck. When he lost sight of the man he drove back to the bank and told Sgt. Ed Kearney, who was the first to arrive at the scene.
"I asked the officers if they were looking for someone dressed all in black," he said. "And they said yes, there had been a robbery."
Ronnie Rodriguez, 24, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated robbery behind some houses after he was cornered on Cruz Street. The case has gone to federal court but information about the case was not available.
"So far we have bank robbers 0, CCPD 3," said Acting Police Chief Ken Bung. "Because of citizens getting involved."
Bung said citizens getting involved by being attentive to their surroundings and reporting problems quickly help his officers serve the city better. But Bung warned that civilians should never confront a suspected criminal.
A troop of Girl Scouts selling cookies at the bank have also been recognized for identifying the robbery suspect.
Rivera, a Corpus Christi native, said he is proud of his quick thinking.
"I found out there were girls at the bank," he said. "If something happened to the people in the bank or those girls and I did nothing it would have stayed inside of me. I had to take care of business."

Critical Review by Margot Hornblower
SOURCE: "Queen of the Ice Age Romance," in Time, Vol. 136, No. 17, October 22, 1990, p. 88.
In the following review, Hornblower comments favorably on the "Earth's Children" series, but finds some elements of the most recent novel, The Plains of Passage, to be implausible.
In the musty chill of the Dordogne, 30 ft. below ground, giant bulls, painted in red and black, gallop across undulating walls. Nearby, a cavalcade of horses, ibex, tiny deer and cave lions dances along the curves of rough limestone. Are these soaring images sacred or profane? A large bespectacled woman closes her eyes and sighs in wonder. She imagines a time, perhaps 20,000 years ago, when rituals were performed in this same hidden cave in the flickering light of animal-fat lamps. Slowly, tears stream down her cheeks. "It's like a church," she whispers. "You feel you can understand the people who painted this."
Few have tried harder than Jean Auel, the Oregon chronicler of Ice Age romance, to fathom the mysteries of Cro-Magnon life. From her 1980 best seller, The Clan of the Cave Bear, through three popular sequels, including the just-published The Plains of Passage, Auel has fleshed out the stone-and-bone discoveries of archaeology to create a fully realized world for her prehistoric heroine, Ayla. In the latest 757-page volume, Ayla sets forth from her home among the Mammoth Hunters of the Eurasian steppes and, braving blizzards, a locust swarm and a fall into a glacier crevasse, reaches what is now the Dordogne, in southwest France. The region harbors a rich trove of Upper Paleolithic remains, including the mystically painted caverns. The Lascaux cave "overwhelms me," Auel says. "These weren't dumb savages."
Prehistory is not only Auel's passion: it has proved improbably profitable. A former credit manager at a Portland electronics firm, the mother of five, then 40, had never written a word of fiction when the idea for an Ice Age epic popped into her head in 1977. From an outline scribbled at the kitchen table grew a publishing phenomenon. The first three books have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 18 languages. The Plains of Passage, Auel's first book since 1985, has a 1.4 million-copy advance sale. Crown Publishers has reportedly paid Auel about $25 million for Plains and two yet-to-be-written volumes completing the saga.
The further escapades of Ayla and her blond boyfriend, Jondalar the toolmaker, are set in the Dordogne, where Auel has been exploring caves and sifting dirt on an archaeological dig. "I found some pieces of flint and a reindeer milk tooth," she says proudly, as she huffs up a path to an Ice Age rock shelter. Far below, a narrow valley is bathed in mist. On a forested bluff, a medieval fortress glows in pale yellow light. "The vegetation was different then," she says. "But I need to know the lay of the land, where the ridges are, where the high points are, so I can move my characters through here."
A few days later, a French archaeologist guides Auel through Laugerie Haute, a vast excavation site under a cliff. She asks for details about how hearths were spaced, seeking hints on how families may have guarded their privacy. "This will be Jondalar's apartment building," she says. At Font-de-Gaume, a grotto of magnificent prehistoric artwork, she examines a painting of a wolf: "I have a feeling this will be Ayla's cave." It fits, since the adventurer travels with a wolf, albeit one she has trained to behave uncannily like a golden retriever.
Auel gets passing grades from archaeologists on how she interprets the facts. "We can tell you how the paintings were made, but not why," says American archaeologist Roy Larick. "Jean does as good a job at speculating as anyone else." Where knowledge falls short, ideology takes over. An ardent feminist, Auel makes a case for a matriarchal Cro-Magnon society, basing her theory on Upper Paleolithic female fertility figures known as Venuses. These statuettes with exaggerated breasts and buttocks have been found by the hundreds, whereas no male sexual symbols have been uncovered. "I'm trying to psych out an entire culture when all we have are bits and pieces to go on," she says. But of one thing she's sure: "It's wrong to think of our ancestors bopping women over the head and dragging them by the hair. Anthropologists have found that most hunter-gatherer societies are very equal."
Nonetheless, Ayla is a stereotyped wonderwoman: she stops a cave lion's attack with the wave of her hand, learns languages in minutes and uses birth control before anyone else even knows how babies are conceived. In The Clan of the Cave Bear, fact and fiction were plausibly balanced. But Plains verges on the ludicrous as Ayla expounds on clitoral vs. vaginal orgasm and rescues Jondalar from manhating Amazons. And much of Plains reads like a textbook: page after page listing animals and plants. The archaeology may be accurate, but stilted dialogue and "his-loins-ached-with-need" sex scenes are alternately hilarious and pathetic.
By and large, Auel has succeeded in popularizing a misperceived period. Nonetheless, even she may sense that her prehistoric cash cow may be overmilked. "Ayla's good company, but after a while you want to write about something else," she says. Then Auel is likely to make an important discovery of her own: whether her fans will remain loyal once the glaciers recede.

Message to Mr. Luchinno
posted at 7/21/2012 10:46 PM EDTMessage to Mr. Luchinno and your awe inspiring speech to season ticket holders last week. Fans do not pay hundreds off dollars in ticket prices not to mention the price of concessions to see Danilel Nava leading off and starting in centerfield and Ryan Sweeney in right field who has not hit a homerun since George Bush was in office. They come to see Carl Crawford and Jacoby Ellsbury not the mediocrity that was playing tonight. Daniel Nava is a Triple AAA player at best who has seen his average drop like a rock and Ryan Sweeney is a late inning defensive replacement at best. Get a taste of reality already.

So, I was thinking the other day that since I've been an adult, I really don't have any hobbies. I used to collect comics, baseball cards etc. And getting back into those would seem kind of...childish and not all that fulfilling.
So I've decided that I want to start collecting Reds autographs. Starting with the Big Red Machine...those guys aren't getting any younger.
Any tips from you vetren collectors and autograph hounds? What places online are reputable? Does a certificate of authenticity mean anything at all?

Jewelry Making 101: Organization
By: Catherine Fox
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Before you learn how to make jewelry, you need to know how to adequately organize your beads and other jewelry making supplies. Watch this video tutorial and read our tips on jewelry organization.
How to Organize Your Beads:
Organizing your beads is a personal preference. For me, I like to organize my beads mostly by type. For instance, I want all my seed beads grouped together as well as my colorful plastic beads for kids. I then try and separate my beads by color. Notice I emphasized the word "try". I don't always succeed in doing this because it can get confusing at times if I purchase more beads. Tip: Make certain you label your beads and findings and where you purchased them! Also, if you can, write down the price! You'll thank yourself later.
Other ways of organizing your beads is to group them by frequency of use. I use my round glass beads very often, so I put them where I can easily find them. You could also group your beads by shapes and sizes.
I have organized my beads at least ten times since I started jewelry making. If one method doesn't work out for you, try another. Just something to keep in mind!
How to Organize Your Findings:
Since findings are used for almost every beading project, you need a convient way of storing them and an easy way of accessing them. For the longest time, I stored my findings in little bags in a sewing organizer. It worked for me, but I was never really satisfied with that method. It was difficult at times to find the exact finding I was looking for. Recently, I transferred my findings to a storage box with removable slots. I absolutely love this method because I can just take the storage box to my work table and it's very easy to find what I am looking for.
How to Organize Your Tools:
On your work table you will need to have your tools at hand reach, thus a tool organizer is a must. There are many different kinds of tool organizers out there, but you could also try making one yourself.
I like to play with papier mache once in a while and one day I decided to make a tool organizer with papier mache. I looked at pictures of tool organizers online and made mine out of cardboard and newspaper. It does the job and that's all I need it to do!

Nvidia launched the fourth generation of its Tegra mobile processor this week at CES 2013, and the chip maker is billing the Tegra 4 as having "record-setting" speed and battery life.
The Tegra 4 processor, codenamed "Wayne," features a whopping 72 GPU cores, which is roughly six-times the graphics horsepower of the previous Tegra 3 edition, and four ARM-based Cortex-A15 cores. According to Nvidia, those specs deliver 2.6-times-faster web page loading as well as improved performance for mobile apps.
Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang introduced the company's newest product during a press event and demonstrated a Tegra 4 prototype tablet, pitting it against a Nexus 10, which uses the Samsung Exynos 5250 processor. During the demo, the Tegra 4 tablet loaded 25 unique Web pages in 27 seconds, a task which the Nexus 10 took 50 seconds to achieve.

"We took the lead in building faster and faster mobile processors," Huang said. "How much performance does anybody need in these mobile devices? Well, if you ask us, we need a lot more performance."
In addition to speed improvements, the Tegra 4 also boasts a new feature called Computational Photography Architecture, which improves the quality of camera phone pictures. The feature automatically delivers "one-shot" high-dynamic range (HDR) photos and video by speeding up the HDR process, thanks to a dedicated engine within the Tegra 4 processor. As a result, the Computational Photography feature helps improve colour contrast and lighting for smartphone pictures.
The Tegra 4 also comes with 4G LTE voice and data support via the optional Nvidia Icera i500 chipset, which Nvidia says is more efficient and 40 percent smaller than conventional modems, and it delivers four times the processing capability of earlier Icera i500 editions.
And lastly, Nvidia touted the Tegra 4's improved power efficiency; the chipset includes a second-generation battery-saving core plus Nvidia's Prism 2 display technology to reduce backlight power consumption. Overall, Nvidia says the new processor consumes 45 percent less power than the Tegra 3 in common use cases and offers up to 14 hours of HD video playback on phones.

Life is what you make it.....and right now I am ready for something more
I am a fun and loving person. My friends and family are so important to me, and I would not be where I am today with out any of them. I come from a big family and spending time with them is very important to me and I enjoy how close we are. My little one is amazing and I find myself every day thinking how luck I am to have her. I love to get out and have a good time, but staying at home and watching a movie is just as fun to me. I would like to try new things.... i just havent found anyone to do that with. I love traveling... even if its a short weekend somewhere.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing

There is no way i could just pick one of my favorite TV shows.. there are so many good ones out there so...Two and a half men, Greys Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Army Wives, and the list goes on. Fav color: Green. Favorite type of food: Pasta or Pizza
I love to read. My favorite new toy is my kindle....I am currently reading The Vow, but this doesnt mean I am only into just girly books. I recently read Kane and Abel, Dexter, The Hunger Games and what girl hasnt read Fifty Shades of Grey.

Optimization Guidelines QA

Originally posted by The Baron
Somebody want to sum it up for me (or post an HTML version) since I'm unable to read PDF files at the moment?
Here it is in cleartext: (I just added newlines for better readability)
3DMark® Optimization Guidelines Q&A
Date: September 26th, 2003.
Q: How will Futuremark enforce these new rules?
A: We have internal tools and resources with which we will test new drivers against the guidelines.
We will maintain a list of drivers we have determined to be in accordance with the guidelines. We will
publish detailed description of this process including actions when violations have been discovered.
Q: When will the enforcing begin?
A: The rules are in effect now. Our objective is to begin full-fledged enforcing at latest on October
31st. The reason is that we want to give all manufacturers time to adjust to the guidelines.
Q: Who has the final say on what is and isn't acceptable?
A: Futuremark has the final say on all matters regarding the validity of 3DMark results.
Q: Are there any Futuremark Approved drivers currently available, according to your new
optimization guidelines?
A: No, none of currently available official, or unofficial drivers have been yet tested against the new
guidelines. In other words, there are no Futuremark Approved drivers currently available.
Q: Do the new optimization guidelines apply to the whole 3DMark series?
A: The new optimization guidelines apply to all currently supported, and future 3DMark versions.
Wording Used In the Guidelines
Q: What is considered a hardware error?
A: It is a Futuremark approved error that an IHV has reported to Futuremark. Basic characteristic of
possibly qualifying hardware error is that the hardware is unable to run 3DMark (e.g. 3DMark does
not start, test run is halted, or the rendering is erroneous). Cases, which do not qualify as hardware
errors are e.g. lack of a specific feature in the hardware or low execution speed of a hardware when
running 3DMark code.
Q: What do you mean by changing the rendering quality?
A: Changing things like the FSAA settings, data and calculation precision or texture filtering quality to
something else than 3DMark instructs to use.
Q: What do you mean by detecting 3DMark directly or indirectly?
A: The drivers may not include routines that in any way identify that 3DMark (or any part of it) is
running, and go into some special mode, instead of running 3DMark like any other 3D application.
Q: What do you mean by utilizing the empirical data of 3DMark?
A: This relates to and highlights one special case to the rule number 2, about detecting 3DMark. The
driver is not allowed to notice that a certain test of 3DMark is running, and then discard or change
some rendering operations, when it is known that the camera never looks that way or does not look
close enough at some object in the default test. This is not allowed, and this kind of optimization
would never work in for example a game, where the camera path is not pre-defined.
Q: What do you mean by an optimization benefiting applications in general?
A: It is easier to think about this as an opposite of application specific optimization. If for example the
2nd rule is broken, and some part of 3DMark is identified and changed, that optimization would not
benefit any other application than 3DMark, and this kind of optimization is not general optimization
and thus it is prohibited.
Q: What do you mean by the resulting rendering being mathematically consistent with that of
the DirectX reference rasterizer?
A: This rule differs from the others by telling how things should be done, instead of how they should
not be done. The resulting image of the optimized rendering must be as close as possible for that
hardware to the rendering of the reference rasterizer. Also, the calculations performed in the
rendering process must be mathematically equivalent to those performed by the reference rasterizer.
Which Scores Are Valid?
Q: Do the new optimization guidelines invalidate the data you have in your
database, gathered
from 3DMark2001 SE and 3DMark03?
A: No, but future official lists and online services (e.g. Hall of Fame, Performance Analyzer, etc.) will
be based on data obtained only by products which completely fulfil these new optimization guidelines.
Q: Will you not allow any other drivers, than the ones you approve?
A: In general, we can only approve WHQLed drivers that we have verified in-house, but we reserve
the right to approve non-WHQL drivers in special case-by-case scenarios. However, we still allow
users to submit results to the ORB gained using beta, unofficial, leaked, non-approved & non-WHQL
drivers, but the data collected using these drivers will not be used in any official lists or online
Q: What about previews of new hardware? Usually manufacturers ship unofficial non-WHQL
drivers to be used in previews, and by following your new ground rules, using 3DMark in
previews will become impossible!
A: Using 3DMark in previews is preferred, but only with drivers, which are approved by us. We
presume that manufacturers will want to make sure the validity of their drivers with us before they
ship those to reviewers.
Q: Have you been discussing the new ground rules with all members in the benchmark
development program, and have they all approved them?
A: We have worked with all members in drafting these guidelines and we have solicited feedback
from them throughout the process. We have gotten very strong agreement to these rules from an
overwhelming majority of the members.
Q: Why did it take so long for you to make these new ground rules?
A: Due to the weight that 3DMark carries in the industry, one must very carefully study every
stakeholders point of view and their arguments before making conclusions. When you are dealing
with such a large number and big companies, the process just takes time.
Q: Isn't it fairly typical that graphics drivers have these special modes for running the most
popular games, in order to increase the frame rate during game play?
A: Yes, it is typical, but it is not acceptable when running 3DMark. Increasing the frame rate of a
game is fine as long as the developer of the game and/or the gamer accepts the means by which this
is achieved. However, there is no 'in game' frame rate to improve in 3DMark. Any such optimization
manipulates the 3DMark score. Since 3DMark is designed to measure generic DirectX performance,
such special case optimizations are not allowed.

LeSean McCoy clearly felt a bit jilted by the Philadelphia Eagles after the team with which he owns the franchise rushing record traded him to the Buffalo Bills for Kiko Alonso, player who sat out
Please stop trying to convince us this is a good trade. We get it. We know. Once a running back turns 27, he gets osteoporosis.
The big news on Tuesday night was that Shady McCoy will be traded to the Buffalo Bills for LB Kiko Alonso.
As legendary Eagles running back Brian Westbrook said on the pregame show, it just feels like a Shady McCoy kind of night.

Ribbon and Award Frames
When you have a champion horse, you're proud of what he or she has achieved, and want the world to know about it. A ribbon frame is a good way to show off your horse's ribbons. After you've had ribbons for any length of time, they have the risk of fading due to sunlight or getting dusty. You want to make sure that your horse's most important ribbons are well-protected, no matter whether they are on display in your home or your stable.
One of the best things about a horse ribbon display is the fact that it is clear. You don't have to worry about taking the ribbons out of their frames in order to show them off. Because these frames are designed for wall displays, you'll be able to make sure that the ribbons are in places where they are totally safe from all harm. You don't need any special equipment or tools to hang the frames, as they come ready for hanging. Simply find the place where you want to hang up the frame, and you're ready. Everyone will be able to admire your horse's achievements, and you won't need to worry about hunting around for the right spot to display the ribbons.
These frames feature an affordable price so that you can buy extra frames as your horse wins more championships. Because the designs are compact, it's easy for you to display several at once. If you have a Grand Champion in your stable, you'll be glad to know that you can get a frame that displays the ribbon properly. You don't need to worry about damaging your most important ribbon by putting it in a frame of the wrong size. You'll enjoy the ease of putting the ribbon in to the display so that everyone can admire it.
You'll love having your ribbons on display in a way that nicely goes with any photos of your horse that are also on display. Because the size of the frames, you can easily create a full wall display, especially in combination with photos and other memorabilia. The simple black frames blend in well with any other photo frames or decor in your home or stable. They also require minimal care, even in the dusty environments that many stables and barns are in. You can spend more time enjoying your horse's achievements and less time worrying about dusting.

handy clip
This camel clip works well for keeping my bladder hose from going backwards across my bag where I cant reach it. Still haven't played with it enough to get it in the right spot where I can drink at ease, but not have the hose in the way. A nice accessory to experiment with.

First off, I can't position it for some reason. :(
Secondly, I am getting 2 errors regarding
searchform.php. How to fix them?
Thank you..
First off, I can't position it for some reason. :(
Secondly, I am getting 2 errors regarding
searchform.php. How to fix them?
Thank you..
Looking at the source, the search code is inside
If you made that

then you could use css
#search {}
to control position.
Cant find no errors unless you fixed them :\.
podz: I've got this
#searchform {} in my CSS. When I try to control the position, nothing happens. :S
XeroCool: My bad. I meant it is not validating. If you validate my page, 2 of the errors are in the
BK, trying add id="searchform" to the code and see if that will help. If that doesnt work, try adding

.
About the validating, I always had those problems and never figured out on how to fix them.
XeroCool and podz: It worked when I added
margin-left: to
#sidebar form {}
Looks perfect in Firefox and IE. Could you guys please help me validate the archive page? Can you please check the thread here.
Thank you very much once again.
/* Begin Form Elements */
form#searchform {
margin: 10px;
border:1px dotted #000;
padding: 10px 0px;
text-align: center;
#sidebar #searchsubmit {
padding: 1px;
and further down the css you have a form tag on it's own setting margin:0;
Delete it.
I'll try that....
Ok, I think it looks good now. You check if you want to.
Thank you, sir.
podz: Could you please look into my other thread as well? Please. :o

YIELD: Makes 32 hors d'oeuvres
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 475°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook onions, garlic, anchovy paste, salt, pepper, and sugar in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized and very soft, 25 to 30 minutes.
Divide dough into 4 pieces and gently stretch each into a 5-inch square, then transfer to baking sheet. Spread onion mixture over each square, leaving a 1/4-inch border around edges, then top with tomato slices. Bake pizzas until edges of dough are golden, 12 to 18 minutes.
Toss together olives and thyme and sprinkle over pizzas. Quarter each square diagonally, making 4 triangles, then cut each triangle in half. Sprinkle with sea salt.
*Available at specialty foods shops and Salt Works (800-353-7258).
Cooks' notes:
·Onion mixture can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then chilled, covered.
·Pizzas can be assembled (but not baked) 2 hours ahead and chilled, loosely covered with plastic wrap.

@superbob85 The Gamecube remake in HD would be sufficient however, what with Nintendo probably owning the publishing rights to it, like they do with Project Zero, we'll never see a HD remake
Parasite Eve would be lovely in HD.

1) Stock up at the night markets
If your trip to Thailand makes a stop at Bangkok (which I assure you, it should), make sure you venture out after sundown with a pal to hit up the famous night markets. Located throughout the city, the markets are filled with vendors selling everything from clothing to souvenirs to some pretty decent knockoffs. You'll want to practice your bartering skills here, and can end up with a $3 dress and braided bracelets that can run for $1 a pop. Food vendors also line the streets, so you can stop to grab some noodles and a cool drink along the way.
2) Indulge at the spa
The weather in Thailand can only be described as 'bloody hot' and your body is going to be sweaty, sticky and puffy. Swollen ankles and sore feet from walking around will happen on the first few days before you acclimatize, so why not hit up a spa for a massage? Thailand has tons of great massage parlours (might be best to ask the hotel or a friend for a recommendation, though), but there are also a bunch of massage chairs lining the streets by Khao San Road in Bangkok. Grab a fruit smoothie and settle down in a comfy hammock-like chair for an hour-long foot and leg massage that will run you about $8 CAN.
3) Hit the beach
Remember the Leonardo DiCaprio movie, 'The Beach'? Looks like paradise, right? Well, that shizz is real, so pack your bags and hit up Contiki's Thai Island Hopper West to visit the breathtaking island of Ko Phi Phi. Stretch out on the beach to relax and get a golden glow then sit back and watch the fire twirlers at night. Contiki also offers awesome optionals on their Thai tours, like a full day boat cruise to Bamboo Island to enjoy lunch on the beach and dive into the crystal clear waters for snorkeling.
4) Chill out at the temples
As a Buddhist nation, Thailand has an endless amount of beautiful temples, many of which are open to the public to visit (check the dress code beforehand though, as many require certain parts of you to be covered). If you're curious about Buddhism, you can actually attend chats with monks to learn more about it, and if you're a meditation devotee, consider a week-long retreat at the end of your Contiki trip.
5) Dance the night away at a Full Moon Party
If you're on Contiki's Thai Island Hopper East, you'll be making a stop in Koh Pha Gnan, home of the famous Full Moon Parties. Originating in the '80s, the massive beach parties that are held on the eve of the full moon now draw 20,000-30,000 people. Get slathered in neon body paint, grab your pals and a bucket of Red Bull and vodka and head to the beach to dance all night to house, hip hop and reggae. Check out Contiki's brochure or online trip listings for departures that stop in Koh Pha Gnan for the Full Moon (or equally fun Half Moon) Parties.

First Farmers' Market successful
Posted by Lucy
Kj Ehlers, on the left, and Mary Stanley sold sunflowers, wheat bundles and more at their booth at the Farmers' Market held Sat., August 11 at the Presho City Park. The women organized the event and were happy with the turn out despite having several vendors, including those with garden produce, back out at the last minute. Shoppers found plenty of other items to buy. Many took home fresh ground wheat, sunflowers, jewelry, planters, plants and home-baked goods. Stanley stated she was pleased with the positive feedback received, and they plan to host another market next summer. "We have more ideas to build on for next year," said Stanley.

My book Charitable Foundations: The Essential Guide to Giving and Compliance was published in May 2015. Since publication, a number of people have asked me what led me to write the book. The Council on Foundations has asked me to address that subject in a blog.
Family Foundations
The Council on Foundations defines a family foundation as one whose funds are derived from members of a single family, though this is not a legal term and has no precise definition. The Council on Foundations suggests that family foundations have at least one family member serving as an officer or board member of the foundation and, as the donor, that individual (or a relative) must play a significant role in governing and/or managing the foundation. Most family foundations are run by family members who serve as trustees or directors on a voluntary basis. In many cases, second- and third-generation descendants of the original donors manage the foundation.
Family foundations make up over half of all private (family, corporate, independent, and operating) foundations, or 40,456 out of approximately 73,764 foundations (Foundation Center, 2011). Family foundations make up approximately one-third of the Council's membership.
Family foundations range in asset size from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 billion. The holdings of family foundations total approximately $294 billion, or about 44 percent of all foundation holdings of $662 billion. Despite this, three out of five family foundations hold assets of less than $1 million. Family foundations gave away approximately $21.3 billion in grants in 2011 (The Foundation Center, 2011).
Below is everything on our site for family foundations. You can use the filtering options on the right to narrow these results.
The year I was born, 1963, being gay was officially deemed a mental illness by the medical establishment. Same-sex relationships were illegal in every state, save Illinois. The federal government maintained a policy that prohibited the hiring of "known perverts," then referring to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans.
What a long way we have come to today, the day marriage equality was deemed the law of the land by the highest court in our nation.
Social change transpires at a blistering pace, in both promising and discouraging trajectories. After growing up in isolation in South Dakota and cutting my teeth decades ago as an LGBTQ human rights activist, I'm gob-smacked and elated by today's Supreme Court decision.
This decision is historic for what it accomplished: it righted a wrong. It's also momentous for what it represents. Empathy. Courage. Equality. Progress.
This article originally appeared on the D5 coalition blog, on 18 June 2015. The original article can be found here.
The fabric of Foundations funding human services forms a rich mosaic with themes as diverse as housing, education, employment, social justice issues, physical and public health. The thread that interconnects with all of these is the mental health of the individuals and communities who are targets for support and improvement. It can be a complicated puzzle.
This week, Stan Katz, Benjamin Soskis and Maribel Morey released HistPhil, a new blog that focuses on both "the studying of history and the making of history". The blog is a result of the co-founders insight that philanthropy as a whole has much to gain from studying its past. The founders hope that the blog will lead to new understanding of how current philanthropic issues can be resolved by studying the past. The organizers hope to bring together both scholars and changemakers in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors.
While the globalization of markets has dispersed investments around the world, we've hatched a plan to bring capital back to our communities in a transparent, coordinated, and collaborative way. I'm excited to announce Canopy, an innovative, member-owned, for-benefit company designed to advance regional investing—at scale.
In this week's Washington Snapshot:
The Social Impact Exchange exists to build a growth capital marketplace that supports scaling high-impact nonprofits in the U.S. Funders with shared interests convene in working groups (currently active in health and education) to identify and vet highly effective nonprofit initiatives primed for scale using a thorough due diligence process. Nonprofits that clear the due diligence process receive 25-30% of their total capital raise from working group members; additional funding is then raised by "syndicating" these investments to a much broader market of regional and local foundations, fa
Amidst all the joyous celebrations of same-sex couples finally able to participate in the legal benefits of marriage; and amidst all the exciting, visible cultural offerings, like the Amazon series, Transparent; there is the continuing drumbeat of LGBTQ stories that have not gained a similar level of visibility.

Capitalization of Governmental Words
When you write about or to a governmental agency, do you wonder when to capitalize? Here are some simple rules to help you.
Rule: When you use the complete names of departments, capitalize. You may also capitalize a shortened form of a department. Do not capitalize when these words are used as adjectives or generically.
the United Nations General Assembly
the General Assembly
a congressional committee
Rule: Capitalize civil titles only when used with the name following or when addressing someone directly.
Councilman James Harris
the councilman
James Harris, councilman
How are you voting, Councilman?
President Obama
the president
Rule: If you are working on government documents or you are representing a government agency, then you may capitalize words like City, County, and District when they stand alone.
Example: The County will implement the plan approved by the voters last June.
Rule: When you refer back to a proper noun using a shortened version of the original name, you may capitalize it.
The District Water Plan allocates … The Plan calls for …
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has taken the case. The Bureau has sent out a bulletin to other federal departments to enlist their help in capturing the fugitive.
However, if you are not working on government documents or are not representing a government agency, do not capitalize generic or shortened terms.
The county will implement the plan …
The plan calls for …
The bureau has sent out a bulletin …

The full name of a U.S. estate tax form is: Form 706 United States Estate (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. When referring to an estate tax return and estate tax, what are the rules for capitalization of "federal" and when referring to the Return itself, if never properly named in a paragraph?
Your spouse's Federal exemption…
… a Federal Estate Tax Return.
… shelter from Federal tax.
… the Federal exemption.
… Federal taxes.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I question your statement: "Rule: When you refer back to a proper noun using a shortened version of the original name, you may capitalize it."
Isn't the phrase "refer back" tautological, because "refer" means to look back?
When you refer to constitution, do you capitalize this word?
When someone is referring to continuing education hours and says, "It's forty hours for the State to keep our State certification," is it capitalized or not?
Hi! your texts are very helpful for a paper that I am correcting. I would like to know why Congress is spelled with a capital while parliament is not..thanks!!
I've read that federal government is generally not capitalized unless used in connection with certain organizations or preceded by US: the US Federal Government, the Federal Government of the US, The Federal Bureau of Investigation. Also, I have read that the words Federal Government are capitalized when referring directly to the official government of the US in its official capacity: the Federal Government.
I'm typing a manuscript for a book and would like to know if I should capitalize clerk and register of deeds. I can't find the answer anywhere. I've gotten a lot of help from your blogs but can't find this answer. It does not follow a name.
Could someone please help as the book is due in February and I'd like it to be correct.
Thank you for your time,
Kaki Almirall
I am working on a beneficiary informational, should one capitalize 'state' in 'If you designate someone other your Spouse/state-registered Domestic Partner as your beneficiary…'
When writing a proposal and referring to a specific city government as an entity, do you capitalize City? For example:
The City of Mulahay requires all lawns to be green.
The city of Mulahay requires all lawns to be green.
This is causing a heated debate at my place of employment.
Thank you,
If I mention a specific military organization at the beginning of an article, example "The 1st Infantry Division….", should I capitalize when I refer to it as "the Command", or should the c in command be lower case?
When transcribing recordings of Planning Department meetings for my local county government, a term like "condition 1″ or "Condition 1″ is often used, referring to conditions that have been suggested by staff for a certain case to be approved. "Proffer" is also used the same way.
My question is when transcribing the discussion of a case, should "condition" and "proffer" be capitalized when they are referring to certain numbered conditions and/or proffers? "We'd like to change Condition 1 [or condition 1] to read…."
Thank you!
Do you capitalize the word agency if referring to government agency?
ex. "I will contact the Agency to set up a meeting with the president."
Why there isn't an article in front of Defense Secretary? Shouldn't there be an "a" or "the"?
From ABC News: Chuck Hagel was sworn in as Defense Secretary today shortly after arriving to the Pentagon for his first day on the job.
Hello, when pluralizing government department names, do they get a capital letter? For example, "The treasuries and ministries of finance of most governments," or "The Treasuries and Ministries of Finance of most governments." My guess is that they don't get capital letters as they do not refer to a specific department, but I'm not absolutely sure that this is the case. Thank you for your help!
When citing a regulation, such as section 404 of the Clean Water Act, would it be "Section 404″ or "section 404." Is this the same situation as your guidance to Pam on January 6, 2015?
When do you capitalize "state" for example:
1) On April 11, 1980 the State of Washington issued Respondent a credential to practice as a registered nurse
2) On January 6, 2015, you were convicted of DUI, gross misdemeanor in the Superior Court, State of Washington, Case No. 12345.
Are either one of these correct?
I worked as an intern in a district office for a U.S. Congressman. I read that Congressional District should be capitalized, but not other cases where congressional is used as an adjective as in congressional letters or congressional constituents (dascourtreporting.homestead.com/Congressional_Capitalization.pdf).
Is that correct?
Thank you!

Juan Carlos, Houston's favorite on "America's Got Talent," continues to wow all judges but one
By Claudia Feldman | July 23, 2014 | Updated: July 23, 2014 9:47pm

Once again, one judge on NBC's "America's Got Talent" did his best to stop Houston's Juan Carlos Restrepo from moving to the next rung of the talent competition and ever closer to the $1 million prize.
But Howard Stern's disapproving glare was canceled out by the enthusiasm of fellow judges, and Juan Carlos will be flying to New York City on Monday to compete again. No doubt he will thrive before the live audience at Radio City Music Hall.
"It's a dream come true," said Juan Carlos, who has spent the past 15 years refining his in-line skating skills at the corner of Montrose and Allen Parkway during rush hour. "It's a triumph, yes."
At a boisterous watch party Tuesday night, friends and fans hooted and hollered through the first half of the competition at downtown's MKT Bar.
They left disappointed, however, because the winners were not announced.
Even Wednesday night, Juan Carlos didn't get the official nod until the end of the second, two-hour program.
"It's been very stressful," he said, "but I'm happy to say that I'm a winner."
During his performance Juan Carlos wore a tight black costume that he decorated with sparkles and a belt buckle that was a re-purposed door knocker.
As he danced to the song "Big Spender," judge Howie Mandel murmured, "He's my favorite."
In response, Stern just scowled.
