SWAMP BRANCH — Gov. Steve Beshear and First Lady Jane Beshear joined numerous state and local officials Saturday morning to officially open the first 18-mile section of the Dawkins Line Rail Trail before a crowd of hundreds of onlookers, many with hiking boots, bicycles and horses in tow.
But while many were in attendance to get a first workout on the state's largest rail trail, Beshear and other officials were quick to point out the Dawkins Line would not only be a footpath to physical fitness and road to recreation, but also a pathway to prosperity.
"This Dawkins Line Rail Trail is also going to be an economic tool for Kentucky, attracting visitors who will inject money into our local economy," Gov. Beshear said. "I was just talking before we started the program with some folks from Paintsville, that they're already getting calls from Canada, Pennsylvania, lots of other states, wanting to know about this trail, getting information, wanting to come. And, folks, that's what's going to happen."
The Dawkins Line Rail Trail is built on an abandoned railroad bed, running from just outside Paintsville at Hager Hill, and running to Royalton, in Magoffin County. And that is only half of the full project, with another 18-mile section to be picked up at Royalton and continuing another 18 miles to Evanston, in Breathitt County.
The trail runs through one of the least healthy areas of the state, with Magoffin County ranking 104th, Johnson County ranking 108th, and Breathitt County ranking 118th, out of the state's 120 counties in the most recent County Health Rankings compiled by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
The trail offers hikers, cyclists and horseback riders — but no motorized traffic — a trek into remote and lush rural areas across the three counties. The first section utilizes 24 railroad trestles, as well as the 662-foot Gun Creek Tunnel, along its course. There are currently trailheads at Swamp Branch and Royalton.
"The natural beauty and rolling hillsides are perfect for hiking, cycling and horseback riding," Jane Beshear said. "There's a great demand for new trails, and I believe the Dawkins Line will become very popular, very soon."
Following a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Beshears led a group of cyclists on a 30-minute ride down the trail, before leaving to attend a grandchild's birthday party. However, Jane Beshear promised to be back, with horses.
The trail was completed by the state Transportation Cabinet, Finance and Administration Cabinet, and Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet. It will be managed by the Kentucky Department of Parks.
According to a prepared statement released at the event, the trail was modeled after the Virginia Creeper Trail, which attracts over 200,000 visitors a year.

Wouldn't be the first time Apple plowed on through IP and worried about the consequences later.. iPhone any one? I just hope some of these rumors are actually true, not that I'll likely be able to afford an Apple iTV but it'll be interesting to see what Steve Jobs had in mind for the current TV landscape.
UK broadcaster ITV warns Apple over using its name for a rumored Apple televison set [Updated]
Update: iTV denies The Telegraph's report
There have been an increasing number of rumors flying around that Apple is set to launch its own television set later this year. The rumors also all seem to think that if Apple does follow this product route, this particular television set will be called the iTV. Unfortunately for Apple, there is already a huge broadcasting company in the UK that already owns the name ITV. ITV stands for (Independent Television) and it is sharpening its knives ready for a fight; if Apple does decide to launch a television this year and name it the iTV.
Adam Crozier, chief executive of Britain's biggest commercial broadcaster, raised the issue with the company when he took the job in 2010, amid expectations that Apple would follow the pattern of branding used for its iPhone and iPad when it eventually cracked television. At the time, ITV, the broadcaster of popular period drama Downton Abbey, received assurances that Apple would not muscle into its territory, at least in the UK. However, insiders fear that the world's biggest company might take a different stance under Tim Cook, who replaced Steve Jobs as chief executive shortly before Mr Jobs died in August last year.
In our opinion, it would be much more likely that Apple would just replace its current Apple TV product with the new television set. Calling a small black box that connects to your TV an Apple TV is much more confusing than actually calling a full blown television set an Apple TV. However if Apple does decide to plow ahead and call the rumored television set the iTV, it would face strong opposition from ITV and no doubt another costly legal battle.

UK broadcaster ITV warns Apple over using its name for a rumored Apple televison set [Updated]
well it's pretty pointless buy the name first if you want make a surprise announcement about a new product.
Yes, prior to release the current Apple TV was called the iTV and yes, it was the very same ITV that warns it will take legal action now that threatened to do it then.
That is a quote from the original article in "The Telegraph". It is referring to the time when Tim Cook replaced Steve Jobs as CEO not the time of his death.
Apple will ignore this thread and go ahead with iTV

HAZARD – A Perry County man could serve up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty this week to drug dealing charges.
George Andrew Hagan, 35, appeared in Perry Circuit Court Thursday on two separate cases alleging drug trafficking. In the first case, he was charged with two counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, second offense, for allegedly selling the prescription drug Oxycodone to a cooperating witness on two instances in April and May 2011.
He was indicted in the second case on two counts of first-degree trafficking, accused of selling Oxycodone on two separate instances in March 2011.
Hagan pleaded guilty in both cases in exchange for a maximum sentence of 10 years to serve, according to the agreement announced in court Thursday morning. He will be formally sentenced on March 7 in Hazard.
Also in court this week was 45-year-old William Wooton of Hazard.
Wooton was indicted in June 2012 on one count of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance, fewer than 10 dosage units, a Class D felony punishable by a maximum of five years in prison.
Wooton was charged by Hazard police with selling seven Oxycodone tablets on Feb. 29, 2012. He pleaded guilty to an amended count of trafficking for a sentence of three years probation. Circuit Judge William Engle handed down that sentence this week, which includes conditions such as random drug testing and 300 hours of community service. If Wooton fails to meet the conditions of his probation, he could serve up to three years in prison.
Michael Campbell, 30, entered a guilty plea to one count of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance. He was indicted in January 2011 on allegations that he sold Oxycodone to a cooperating witness in January 2008.
His plea agreement includes five years to serve, probated for three years. His probation will include certain conditions such as random drug testing. His sentencing is set for March 7.
Two men were sentenced this week on an amended misdemeanor charge in a case dating back to July 2012.
Emmanuel Combs, 25, of Hazard, and 30-year-old Dewayne Combs were initially charged with two counts of felony theft for stealing a drain pipe belonging to the Perry County Fiscal Court on April 9, 2012, and a bus used to store hay from a private individual on April 26.
The two pleaded guilty on Thursday to amended charges of third-degree criminal mischief, allowing Judge Engle to proceed with sentencing, which includes 12 months of diversion and $2,000 in restitution.
A third defendant in the case has not yet entered a plea, according to statements made in court.

Wife's been begging me for iphone for years, hope to come through for her. Women love the small form factor and one handed typing.

Interesting, I just signed up and App says my password is not valid. Weird, guess I'll have to give it a day.
iMore gave me more chance to get to Apple more than just products, official announced news, and a brand which kind of matters, iMore really provides a lot of information that I couldn't know from any where else which is one of the reasons I love to follow nearly every update of iMore about Apple since I am personally a super Apple fan.

Maintaining Response Readiness
Responding Agencies
Because a hazardous substance release or an oil spill could occur virtually anywhere and at any time, EPA and a network of federal, state, and local responders stand ready 24 hours a day to contain and clean-up the discharged oil and released chemicals. EPA's Emergency Response program has a leadership role in this National Response System that promotes coordinated emergency response actions and guarantees the availability of resources to cover all possible release scenarios. This coordination allows federal, state, and local agencies to work together to respond to all emergencies efficiently. EPA also provides other financial and technical support as needed to assist local communities in responding to the broad range of emergency response incidents that may occur.
Contingency Planning
One of EPA's major tasks is to coordinate contingency planning efforts with other agencies to ensure that emergency responses are carried out quickly and with maximum effectiveness. To further ensure the readiness of its response teams, EPA provides training to emergency responders so that they have the necessary skills and use appropriate precautions when undertaking emergency response measures.
Contingency plans describe the information and processes for responding to hazardous substance emergencies, including the roles and responsibilities of the different responding agencies, the location and availability of response resources, the process for conducting the response, and other actions necessary to ensure a safe and effective cleanup. When used properly by trained personnel, a well-designed contingency plan enables response efforts to proceed smoothly and effectively, minimizes danger to cleanup personnel, reduces overall costs of cleanup by avoiding unnecessary effort, and ensures the protection of human health and the environment. Because the approaches and methods for responding to releases are constantly evolving, contingency plans also are constantly evolving and improving.
A network of contingency plans with different levels of geographical scope form the backbone of our country's efforts to prepare for and coordinate responses to emergency incidents:
- The National Contingency Plan Overview (National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan - 40 CFR Part 300) is the federal government's primary plan for preparing for, and coordinating with, other emergency responders. The National Contingency Plan establishes the principles and structure of the unified command system and identifies the roles and responsibilities of the key players within the system.
- The federal government also prepares Regional and Area Contingency Plans that coordinate effective responses within each of the 10 standard federal regions and other designated Areas covering Alaska, the Caribbean, and several islands in the Pacific. These plans include preparedness information on a regional level and identify useful response facilities and resources available from government, commercial, academic, and other sources.
- At the local level, Local Contingency Plans are developed to prepare and organize local resources in the event of the accidental release of hazardous substances. Under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), state governors are required to establish State Emergency Response Commissions, which in turn establish Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) for districts within the state. These emergency planning organizations are responsible for developing local contingency plans using chemical inventory information collected as part of the law's community right-to-know provisions.
- Federal on-scene coordinators, who are the federal government's frontline staff during an incident, may develop an On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) Contingency Plan for responses in the OSC's area of responsibility. These plans identify probable locations of releases, the availability and location of emergency response resources, and the local structure for responding to release incidents.
Taken together, these activities and resources form the cornerstone of our country's ability to respond to hazardous substance emergencies regardless of their nature, size, or location.

Which Adorable Celebrity Couple Joined Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux in Cabo?
It's no secret that Jennifer Aniston looks her best in a bikini, and in the past, she has been known to relocate to warmer weather during the holidays so that she can do just that. And this year was no different. The actress and her fiance, Justin Theroux, headed down to Cabo San Lucas just a couple of days before Christmas. But that was only the beginning of their vacation.
According to Us Weekly, Jen and Justin were joined by Emily Blunt, Jimmy Kimmel, and Molly McNearney on Dec. 28 after the newly engaged couple hosted a get-together on the 27th, which also included Emily's husband, John Krasinski.
"They spent the afternoon lounging around and having drinks [at Jen and Justin's house]. They seemed to all be really good friends and comfortable around each other. Emily was lying in John's lap, and Jen had her arms around Justin. They were there all afternoon until sunset, laughing and having great conversation," an eyewitness told Us Weekly.
And when the couple is alone? Well, they have a routine. "Every day they followed the same routine, with a workout in the morning with Pilates and yoga, followed by tanning time all afternoon. All Jennifer wanted was to work out, tan, have margaritas, and be with her man," a source told Us.
Sounds like a pretty perfect vacation to us … friends, drinks, tans, and bikinis? Count us in. Well, other than the workout part.

Hi Everyone,
So I am in the quest for maximum health before TTC. I am taking calcium, folic acid, omega 3+6 and LDA already. I came across a supplement called Moringa, touted for its nutrition benefits. Anyone know anything about this supplement? I am not endorsing it nor expecting an endorsement from the forum, I have not decided whether to take it or not (personal choice). I just wanted to hear from the moderators or any other mom out there if they have additional information on the benefits or harm of taking a supplement such as moringa prior to conception and/or during pregnancy. I wonder if it may interact negatively with the current supplements i am taking...all i read is that it is a natural product, and rich in this and that etc...of course a healthy diet is the best way to acquire nutrients, but sometimes even when we think we are eating from all food groups, it is not enough
thanks for any inputs,

Before installing, you might want to read the Percona Server 5.5 Release notes.
Ready-to-use binaries are available from the Percona Server download page, including:
- RPM packages for RHEL 5, RHEL 6 and RHEL 7
- Debian packages for Debian and Ubuntu
- Generic .tar.gz packages
Percona provides repositories for yum (RPM packages for Red Hat, CentOS and Amazon Linux AMI) and apt (.deb packages for Ubuntu and Debian) for software such as Percona Server, XtraDB, XtraBackup, and Percona Toolkit. This makes it easy to install and update your software and its dependencies through your operating system's package manager.
This is the recommend way of installing where possible.
Once the repository is set up, use the following commands:
$ yum install Percona-Server-client-55 Percona-Server-server-55
Once the repository is set up, use the following commands:
$ sudo apt-get install percona-server-server-5.5
Download the packages of the desired series for your architecture from here.
For example, at the moment of writing, a way of doing this is:
$ wget -r -l 1 -nd -A rpm -R "*devel*,*debuginfo*" \
Install them in one command:
$ rpm -ivh Percona-Server-server-55-5.5.14-rel20.5.149.rhel5.i686.rpm \
Percona-Server-client-55-5.5.14-rel20.5.149.rhel5.i686.rpm \
If you don't install all "at the same time", you will need to do it in a specific order - shared, client, server:
$ rpm -ivh Percona-Server-shared-55-5.5.14-rel20.5.149.rhel5.i686.rpm
$ rpm -ivh Percona-Server-client-55-5.5.14-rel20.5.149.rhel5.i686.rpm
$ rpm -ivh Percona-Server-server-55-5.5.14-rel20.5.149.rhel5.i686.rpm
Otherwise, the dependencies won't be met and the installation will fail.
Each of the Percona Server RPM packages have a particular purpose.
The Percona-Server-server package contains the server itself (the mysqld binary).
The Percona-Server-55-debuginfo package contains debug symbols for use debugging the database server.
The Percona-Server-client package contains the command line client.
The Percona-Server-devel package contains the header files needed to compile software using the client library.
The Percona-Server-shared package includes the client shared library.
The Percona-Server-shared-compat package includes shared libraries for software compiled against old versions of the client library.
The Percona-Server-test package includes the test suite for Percona Server.
Download the packages of the desired series for your architecture from here.
For example, at the moment of writing, for Ubuntu Maverick on i686, a way of doing this is:
$ wget -r -l 1 -nd -A deb -R "*dev*" \
Install them in one command:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
The installation won't succeed as there will be missing dependencies. To handle this, use:
$ apt-get -f install
and all dependencies will be installed and the Percona Server installation will be finished by apt.
The percona-server-server package contains the database server itself, the mysqld binary and associated files.
The percona-server-common package contains files common to the server and client.
The percona-server-client package contains the command line client.
The percona-server-dfsg package contains....
The libperconaserverclient-dev package contains header files needed to compile software to use the client library.
The libperconaserverclient18 package contains the client shared library. The 18 is a reference to the version of the shared library. The version is incremented when there is a ABI change that requires software using the client library to be recompiled or their source code modified.
Fetch and extract the source tarball. For example:
$ wget http://www.percona.com/downloads/Percona-Server-5.5/Percona-Server-5.5.43-37.2/source/Percona-Server-5.5.42-rel37.1-Linux.x86_64.tar.gz
$ tar xfz Percona-Server-5.5.42-rel37.1-Linux.x86_64.tar.gz
Next, follow the instructions in Compiling Percona Server from Source below.
Fetch and extract the correct binary tarball. For example for Debian Wheezy:
$ wget http://www.percona.com/redir/downloads/Percona-Server-5.5/Percona-Server-5.5.43-37.2/binary/tarball/Percona-Server-5.5.43-rel37.2-Linux.x86_64.ssl100.tar.gz
Percona uses the Bazaar revision control system for development. To build the latest Percona Server from the source tree you will need Bazaar installed on your system.
Good practice is to use a shared repository, create one like this:
$ bzr init-repo ~/percona-server
You can now fetch the latest Percona Server 5.5 sources. In the future, we will provide instructions for fetching each specific Percona Server version and building it, but currently we will just talk about building the latest Percona Server 5.5 development tree.
$ cd ~/percona-server
$ bzr branch lp:percona-server/5.5
Fetching all the history of Percona Server 5.5 may take a long time, up to 20 or 30 minutes is not uncommon.
If you are going to be making changes to Percona Server 5.5 and wanting to distribute the resulting work, you can generate a new source tarball (exactly the same way as we do for release):
$ cmake .
$ make dist
Next, follow the instructions in Compiling Percona Server from Source below.
After either fetching the source repository or extracting a source tarball (from Percona or one you generated yourself), you will now need to configure and build Percona Server.
First, run cmake to configure the build. Here you can specify all the normal build options as you do for a normal MySQL build. Depending on what options you wish to compile Percona Server with, you may need other libraries installed on your system. Here is an example using a configure line similar to the options that Percona uses to produce binaries:
$ cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DBUILD_CONFIG=mysql_release -DFEATURE_SET=community -DWITH_EMBEDDED_SERVER=OFF
Now, compile using make
$ make
$ make install
Percona Server 5.5 will now be installed on your system.
If you wish to build your own Percona Server Debian/Ubuntu (dpkg) packages, you first need to start with a source tarball, either from the Percona website or by generating your own by following the instructions above( Installing Percona Server from the Bazaar Source Tree).
Extract the source tarball:
$ tar xfz percona-server-5.5.34-32.0.tar.gz
$ cd percona-server-5.5.34-32.0
Put the debian packaging in the directory that Debian expects it to be in:
$ cp -ap build-ps/debian debian
Update the changelog for your distribution (here we update for the unstable distribution - sid), setting the version number appropriately. The trailing one in the version number is the revision of the Debian packaging.
$ dch -D unstable --force-distribution -v "5.5.34-32.0-1" "Update to 5.5.34-32.0"
Build the Debian source package:
$ dpkg-buildpackage -S
Use sbuild to build the binary package in a chroot:
$ sbuild -d sid percona-server-5.5_5.5.34_32.0-1.dsc
You can give different distribution options to dch and sbuild to build binary packages for all Debian and Ubuntu releases.
PAM Authentication Plugin has been merged into Percona Server in 5.5.24-26.0 but it is not built with the server by default. In order to build the Percona Server with PAM plugin, additional option -DWITH_PAM=ON should be used.

Navigating Articles and Pages
Manipulating Articles and Pages
Technical Matters
You can perform a simple search by typing keywords in the search box on the home page and clicking "Search". The search engine will return results that include all of your search terms.
You can search for an exact phrase by placing quotation marks around your search terms. For example the search "new plymouth" looks like this:
You can use Boolean operators AND, OR and NOT to refine your search results. AND (include all of the words) and NOT (without the words) narrow your search; OR (with at least one of the words) broadens your search. For example, plymouth NOT new will retrieve articles about Plymouth but not New Plymouth.
To access the advanced search feature click on the Search tab at the top-left of the page and then the Advanced Search tab:
By default, Veridian searches all publications. To search a specific title, highlight it in the list. To highlight more than one title, hold down the "Shift" or "Control" keys to highlight a range or selection of titles.
In addition to searching by exact phrase, Boolean operators, or specific titles (like in Basic Search), Advanced Search allows you to limit your search by:
A date range: select the beginning and end Day, Month and Year.
Headlines: by default Veridian searches all text. To search only headlines, select the "Search within" dropdown menu and change "Full text" to "Article headlines".
By default Veridian returns 20 results per page, and a short summary of the text around the terms you searched for. Within the "Advanced Search" tab you can:
Change the number of results per page to 10 or 50 within the dropdown menu next to "Results per page".
Display a preview image instead of text after each result by selecting the dropdown menu "Search Summaries" and changing "Text" to "Images".
After clicking "Search", you can refine your search by "Publication", "Category", "Decade" or "Word count" by choosing one or more options (or filters) listed along the left hand side under "Refine search".
Selected filters used to refine a search appear in the upper left hand corner under "Search limited to". To remove a filter click on the "X" to its right, and to remove all filters click "Clear all".
You can browse by title or date by selecting the "Titles" or "Dates" tab at the top of the page.
Once you have selected a result from "Search Results" you will be directed to the newspaper page with the search term highlighted.
Directly to the left of the newspaper is a "contents" pane with two tabs: "Issue Contents" and "Article Text". Clicking on the "Issue Contents" tab displays either the entire contents, or the pages for an issue. Clicking on "Article Text" displays the text for the highlighted article. You can minimize this "contents" pane by clicking on the arrow in the separator bar to the right of the "contents" pane. The separator bar can also be dragged left or right, to increase or decrease the size of the adjoining panes.
Directly above the newspaper pages displayed in the "image viewer" is a row with several navigating options:
While hovering over the newspaper a "hand" cursor is displayed. Click and drag the newspaper image to move the page around. Double-clicking anywhere on the newspaper will place the area clicked at the center of the image viewer.
"Zoom to this article" will enlarge and center the article.
"Clip this article" will move the article to its own separate page for easy viewing.
"Text of this article" will display just the text without the associated image.
"Correct article text" allows you to correct the OCR text, see below.
"PDF of this page" will download a PDF file of the page.
"Text of this page" will display the text of the entire page without the associated image.
"Correct page text" allows you to correct the OCR text, see below.
Note: If you are viewing an issue that has been scanned at the page rather than the article level, you will only see "PDF of this page", "Text of this page", and "Correct page text". See the Technical Section for more explanation of page and article level segmentation.
There are several ways to print an article or page from the options pane. A PDF downloaded using the directions above can be printed. Selecting "Text of this article" or "Text of this page" will allow you to print just the text without the accompanying image using the print option in your browser. Selecting "Clip this article" will allow you to print out an image of the article using the print option in your browser (Note: many articles, particularly long ones, are actually composed of multiple images, each of which might print on a separate page).
Every newspaper page in the CDNC is comprised of an image, and of text associated with that image. Newspaper copy is generated into searchable text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software (see below for more detail). Computers often have a hard time reading newspaper print, particularly for papers printed before 1900. The User Text Correction (UTC) feature in the CDNC allows users to correct text that the computer could not properly identify.
To correct text within the CDNC, you must first register and create an account. To register, click on Log In in the navigation bar and then on Register on the login page. Upon registration, a verification email will be sent to you. After verifying your email address, you'll be able to log-in to the CDNC and correct OCR text.
After registration is complete, there are two ways to access the UTC tool. After you've found the newspaper you would like to correct and it is displayed on the screen, you can start correcting text by:
Clicking on the text you want to correct. This will display it in the "contents pane" to the left of the "image viewer". Click on "Correct this text" in the "contents pane".
Right-clicking on the text you want to correct and selecting "Correct article text" or "Correct page text" from the options pop-up window.
Every line of text in the article will have a corresponding line in the text correction pane. While making corrections, the line in the article is outlined within a red box. Once you are finished making your corrections, click on "Save" or "Save & exit".
The text you've corrected is saved within Veridian, and is now searchable by other users.
It is currently not possible to add a line of text if a line does not already exist. We hope to add this capability in the future.
Optical Character Recognition, or OCR, is a process by which software reads a page image and translates it into a text file by recognizing the shapes of the letters.
OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is never 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original issue, its condition at the time of microfilming, the level of detail captured by the microfilm scanner, and the quality of the OCR software. Issues with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts, or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.
To look at the OCR text, choose a page or article and select "Text of this page," or "Text of this article" from the pop-up pane.
The physical layout or structure of newspapers makes them complicated objects to digitize. Each page usually has numerous columns, often with multiple articles per column. Furthermore, articles sometimes run across pages. Segmentation refers to the degree in which this structural complexity is captured in the digitized representation of the printed newspaper.
Page-level segmentation offers access to each page of an issue, but not to any components within a page such as articles, headlines, advertisements, birth and death notices, etc. For each page there is an image and text associated with that page image. Each word contains X and Y coordinates that connect the word to a location on the image and thus allow for highlighting on the image. In the User Text Correction (UTC) tool, text for the entire page is displayed. Almost all post-1923 newspapers in the CDNC are segmented at the page level.
Article-level segmentation offers access to components within a page such as individual articles, headlines, and advertisements. In addition to the image, and text and word coordinates found in page-level data, article-level metadata defines the locations of components and their relationships to one another (for example, when an article extends across several pages, or when a headline is connected to a specific article or articles). Among other things, article-level segmentation often makes it easier to identify the location of a search term on a page, particularly when that term appears numerous times. In the UTC tool, text for a specific component of the page is displayed. Almost all pre-1923 newspapers in the CDNC are segmented at the article level.
In general, you only need a modern web browser like Firefox, Safari, Chrome, or Internet Explorer to search and browse this collection. To view or print downloaded PDFs, you will also need a PDF viewer like Adobe Reader.

Charleston company BiblioLabs and the Charleston County School District (CCSD) have partnered to bring the BiblioBoard Mobile Library to all 84 schools in the district. The joint agreement will allow perpetual access to the Patrons First platform and its digital collections of books, images, audio, video and other resources for CCSDs 46,000-plus students.
BiblioBoard is a Patrons First mobile library meaning that its interface and content organization have been designed with the mobile user in mind. Content is curated thematically and available on the web, smartphones and as a native app on all major tablets.
BiblioBoard is a wonderful complement to our existing work around digital literacy and our goal of ensuring that all CCSD students graduate with the skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace, said Dr. Nancy McGinley, Superintendent of Schools.
BiblioBoard is already available to all students, and the platform will be available perpetually at no additional cost to the district, students or taxpayers. Staff members from BiblioLabs have been training school liaisons, including educators at Charleston Progressive Academy, who are using BiblioBoard as an interim substitute while their physical library and media center is being completed.
This is a local company thats making a significant local contribution. This builds a 21st century digital-content ecosystem to fill out our new 21st century buildings, said Alex Opoulos, WINGS For Kids board member.

UTC travels to Boone, N.C., for the SoCon opener against Appalachian State on Friday, March 1 at 1:00 p.m. (E.S.T.). UTC returns home on Sunday, March 3, to host Western Carolina. Match time against the Catamounts is set for 12:00 p.m. on the UTC Tennis Courts. A link for live scoring for the WCU match is available on the women's tennis schedule page on GoMocs.com.
The Mountaineers are 7-2 overall and led by senior Ellie Linsell's 8-0 record at No. 1. Their two losses came against East Carolina (3-4) and last week against East Tennessee State (1-6). They are coming off a 7-0 win over Presbyterian on Sunday. Chattanooga won last year's match 6-1 on the UTC Tennis Courts.
The Catamounts are 1-3 on the year with a 5-2 win over Presbyterian College. The Lady Mocs won the previous meeting 7-0 in Cullowhee, N.C. on April 6, 2012.
The Lady Mocs have been dominating opponents, only allowing two points in the first eight contests. Chattanooga is 46-2 in singles and has lost a total of eight sets in those 48 matches. UTC is also an impressive 18-3 in doubles.
UTC's 8-0 start is the best for the program since opening the 1991 campaign 10-0. The current winning streak included a school-record run of five consecutive shutouts.
The Lady Mocs are led by senior Jenna Nurik (Roswell, Ga.), who is off to an 8-0 start in singles action. Nurik is trying to become the first Lady Mocs to be named All-SoCon for four straight years.
Sophomore Claire Mulyadi (Semarang, Indonesia) and freshmen Kayla Jones (Memphis, Tenn.) are also 8-0 in singles. Junior Alexa Flynn (Memphis, Tenn.) is undefeated in three matches while sophomore Kaylene Chadwell (Franklin, Tenn.) and has a 7-1 record.
Jones and freshman Kelsey Coots (Huntsville, Ala.) lead the way in doubles with a 5-1 mark at No. 1. Chadwell and Nurik are also 5-1 at No. 2 and 10-2 overall.

Amanda Seyfried and Hugh Jackman "Sexualized Everything" on the Les Miserables Set
If you watch Les Miserables next month — and you probably should, since it looks amazing and we're guessing it's gonna nab some Oscars — keep in mind the off-set goofiness of the serious on-screen actors.
Amanda Seyfried talked to Vanity Fair about her role as Cosette, the adopted daughter of Hugh Jackman's character, Jean Valjean. She said it's true that everyone loves Hugh and there's nothing bad anyone could ever say about him.
"He isn't human," Amanda said. "I bet you anything he's got some kind of superhuman capabilities, beyond just being just the kindest, gentlest soul I've come across." Aww!
She added that they share the same inappropriate sense of humor, so they created alternate storylines to give Cosette and Jean Valjean a very, ahem, different relationship. "We sexualized everything as much as we could," Amanda said. "It was really funny, the moments we could find ... It's like every movie has another version, another satirical version of itself."
So if they ever want to release a porn version of Les Mis, they probably have some raw footage to use from Amanda and Hugh.

Two big-name, big-pocket investors have donated a total of $40 million toward the Business School's planned buildings in Manhattanville, Columbia announced on Monday.
Arthur J. Samberg, founder of Pequot Capital Management Inc., pledged $25 million, and Mario J. Gabelli, the chairman and CEO of investment firm GAMCO Investors Inc., pledged $15 million, Columbia announced Monday.
With $400 million in donations and $100 million committed by the University's central administration, the Business School is now within $100 million of its $600 million goal for the buildings, spokesperson Evan Nowell said in a statement. Samberg and Gabelli's pledges follow other high-profile gifts, including a $100 million donation from financier Ronald Perelman in May.
The buildings, designed by architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro and FXFOWLE, will encompass more than 450,000 square feet on the new campus. Construction on the buildings likely won't begin for another year and a half to two years, University President Lee Bollinger estimated in May.
Samberg and Gabelli, both Business '67, are members of the Business School's Board of Overseers. They said in a statement that they wanted to give others the same opportunities they themselves had enjoyed.
"My parents did not have a formal education," said Gabelli, a first-generation Italian American whose net worth Forbes estimated at $1.2 billion in March. "But in this country, I had the opportunity to progress through a great education."
Samberg, who also gave the Business School $25 million in 2006, paid the Securities and Exchange Commission $28 million in a 2010 settlement over accusations of insider trading of Microsoft shares.
"I had the good fortune to attend a number of elite schools, but many people don't have the advantages I had," Samberg said. "In supporting Columbia Business School, I'm helping others, who didn't grow up in the same environment, get a chance to advance."

Correction: An earlier version of this article reversed the positions of the two donors. Samberg is the founder of Pequot Capital Management Inc. and Gabelli is the chairman and CEO of investment firm GAMCO Investors Inc. Spectator regrets the error.
I've never been shy about criticizing Spec, and I sympathize with your position. But I completely disagree with what your suggest. The writers at Spec are journalists, not PR agents for the university. They should not be expected to soften their reporting in order to coddle a donor. Besides, I'm sure Samberg's skin is more than thick enough to handle this.
Spec's role is to inform its readers. You and I may feel gratitude for these gifts, but journalists aren't supposed to work that way.
The fine Mr. Samberg paid in 2008 is something many readers would want to know. His name is going to be prominently associated with Columbia's for decades, so Columbians have an interest in knowing about any significant blemishes on his record.
You're surely right that focusing on this one detail gives us an incomplete picture of Mr. Samberg. But Spec does not have to write full biographies any time an article says something unflattering.
If you believe more should have been said about Mr. Samberg, please say it in a comment. I'll read it with interest. So will others.
By not making reference to the following May 5, 2006 New York Times article by Andrew Ross Sorkin about past legal allegations of wrongdoing made by some investors in Columbia Business School Campus Expansion Project Donor Gabelli's mutual fund empire, Spec actually did--probably unintenionally--soften their coverage of how the money to fund the tax-exempt Columbia Administration's landgrabbing/real estate development profit in West Harlem/Manhattanville was originally obtained by the Columbia Administration's financial backers. As Andrew Sorkin observed in his May 5, 2006 New York Times article:
"Mario J. Gabelli, the famed money manager, settled a long-running legal battle yesterday with his first investor, agreeing to pay him and another early investor more than $100 million.
"The settlement comes after years of back-and-forth about the value of the investment in Mr. Gabelli's mutual fund empire and after a barrage of accusations that he had looted the company and breached his fiduciary duty.
"The lawsuit had been brought by Frederick J. Mancheski, 79, who was Mr. Gabelli's first investor in 1976, and David M. Perlmutter, a former lawyer for Mr. Gabelli.
"Both men contended that Mr. Gabelli had prevented them from selling at fair market value their stake in his private company, Gabelli Group Capital Partners, the controlling shareholder of Gamco Investors, which is Mr. Gabelli's publicly traded mutual fund company.
"Throughout the fight, a spokesman for Mr. Gabelli had described the lawsuit as meritless and at one point called it `'tantamount to greenmail,'' suggesting that the men were trying to `'reap huge additional gains at the expense of the other shareholders.''
"But in late March, the judge in the case issued a partial summary judgment in favor of the two investors. The judge, Linda S. Jamieson of New York State Supreme Court in White Plains, also said, `'There are allegations made against Mr. Gabelli that trouble this court.''
"The settlement ends a nasty legal fight for Mr. Gabelli, who also faces problems in another case.
"The Justice Department announced in March that it would pursue civil fraud claims against Mr. Gabelli, arguing that he orchestrated a scheme to deceive the Federal Communications Commission in its auctions of wireless spectrum licenses several years ago. He has denied the accusations.
"In a statement yesterday, Mr. Gabelli said that Mr. Mancheski and Mr. Perlmutter would receive about 2.1 million Gamco shares worth about $80 million, which would correspond with their stake in Gabelli Group Capital Partners.
"Additional cash compensation, worth more than $20 million, is also expected to be paid as part of the deal, though the details of that part of the settlement could not be learned...."
What perhaps should also be noted is that Columbia University Business School Expansion Project Funder and Columbia Business School Board of Overseers Member Gabelli and companies affiliated with him also had to pay $130 million in 2006 "to settle allegations that he used sham companies to buy cellphone licenses under a federal program for small and minority-owned businesses," according to a July 14, 2006 Washington Post article. As Washington Post Staff Writer Brooke A. Masters observed:
"The federal government alleged that 38 individuals and companies backed by Gabelli's money improperly participated in eight wireless spectrum auctions under special Federal Communications Commission rules reserved for small businesses. The Gabelli-backed entrepreneurs included his relatives, a former aerobics instructor, the caretaker of his vacation home and a retired professional basketball player, the government alleged. Gabelli was not eligible.
"`The FCC and all government agencies should be able to trust companies which certify information about eligibility to participate in government programs,' Assistant Attorney General Peter D. Keisler said in a statement announcing the deal. `This settlement is an example of the government's determination to ensure that valuable federal resources are protected from fraud and abuse.'
"The settlement stems from a five-year-old private lawsuit filed under the federal False Claims Act by a whistle-blower, Rufus C. Taylor III, who will receive $32.2 million for his efforts to expose problems with the Gabelli-backed bidders.
"At the time of the auctions, in 1995 to 2000, Taylor was a lawyer representing a rival bidder, and he thought the Gabelli-backed companies were improperly taking advantage of special credits and financing designed to help entrepreneurs. Under the rules, small companies were allowed to take loans from larger ones but had to be actively involved in running their companies. `The issue was whether these small businesses were true small businesses or whether Gabelli really had control of them,' said Yale University law professor Jonathan Macey.
"Under the terms of the settlement, Gabelli and his affiliates did not admit wrongdoing, and they continued to assert that they complied with all the relevant FCC rules and procedures. Gabelli's money management firm, Gamco Investors Inc., which has more than $25 billion under management in the Gabelli Funds and other accounts, was not implicated in the lawsuit.
"Lawyers for Gabelli and his affiliates did not return phone calls and e-mails seeking comment...."
Just a stupid question. Does it really cost over 300-400 million dollars to build every building in Manhattanville? Couldn't they build a ten story building for, say, 30 million? The Greene Science Center is over 400 million. The World Trade Center only cost about a billion, and it is much larger. Can we find less expensive builders and build more, faster?
Most of the new campus will be built on top of a seven-story underground complex containing support services, storage, parking, etc. The cost of each building includes the cost of the structure beneath it. The cost of the B-school complex also includes the cost of the structure beneath the lawn between the two buildings.

I built 3 ARs just the same for my Son and Son-In-Laws, they are 20" Heavy barrel, flat top, with scope, free float tube & have a vertical grip bi-pod that can be attached. I laid the bi-lod in the picture, they also got 2 mags, 100 rounds of 62 grain blastic tip ammo and a camo gun case.
The second photo is one of my son-in-laws with his, I took all three of them shoting. This son-in-law shot a 20 round group as fast as he could get back on the target at 100 yds about 2". He was impressed with the rifle.
Oh I also sent off the trigger groups to Bill Springfield for his trigger job.

Until they are convicted felons, they are still protected. If they were not at the time of the incident, they could potentially have been legally able to purchase guns and ammunition and in some situations could have done so without any sort of background check. THAT is part of what gun controls are about.
The verbage you have consistently been using in your posts has been discussing not limiting the type of guns or ammunition that are available for anyone to purchase. I have on more than one occasion attempted to put forth that gun control laws are not about taking away second amendment rights to own a gun. They are instead about any one or a number of measures such as limiting the type of guns that can be purchased, having background checks for every single purchase and removing loopholes for doing so, making sure that mentally ill persons whose mental illness could affect their use of guns in such a way as to harm others are not able to purchase them, etc. In other words to make it possible for responsible gun owners to continue to have them while protecting the safety of others.
Then I must not have been clear in my posts. I thought I previously discussed that I would be in favor of reinstating the assault weapons ban. I also don't recall anywhere being against background checks to purchase firearms. Please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
And to quote from Men in Black: "And to be honest, I'd appreciate it if you eased up off my back about it."
What I am against is the overreach of gun control legislation, such as a 10 round magazine limit would impose and make the majority of currently owned handguns illegal, or a complete ban on the sale of semi-automatic weapons, and other extreme measures.
In the wake of Sandy Hook, where 20 children died,
Nation in a state of shock; Barack Obama cried.
(He was not the only one who's eyes had sprung a leak
I know that I wept non-stop for the entire week.)
We all swore we'd make a change to stop these killing sprees.
Think that anything will ever happen? Honey, please.
While the Newtown parents buried daughters and their sons,
People, in the thousands, ran right out to purchase guns.
Weapons sales went through the roof and bullets sold out quick.
Proof, to me, the culture that we live in's pretty sick.
NRA sounds rational when people are afraid.
How far has my own position on this issue strayed?
I've begun to think that arming teachers makes good sense.
Maybe build a moat, or else electrify a fence.
We now have so many guns we can't uncross the line.
There's a gun for everyone... I wonder who has mine.
I am not making light of the gun violence in this country; however, the rhetoric needs to come down a notch. It has become a war of soundbites even as the violence escalates. As my grandmother used to say, Common sense is is not common.
On that note, Chris Rock's take on Gun Control:
And here is his most recent comment on Gun Control:
Chris Rock has a suggestion for reducing gun violence: Limit gun ownership to people with mortgages.
"Every mass killer lives with his mother," said Rock. "It's never people who have their own place."
His suggestion would address the issue of personal history, Rock noted, "because every mortgage already comes with a real background check."
It would also have a pre-deterrent effect on potential perpetrators.
"If you go to jail for 30 years," said Rock, "you'd still have to pay that mortgage."
Rock made his suggestion at a TV critics panel for "Totally Biased," the W. Kamau Bell late-night talk show that Rock executive-produces.
Rock had a standup routine years ago in which he suggested guns should be given out free, but bullets should cost $5,000.
When the industry (and that pertains to any industry) does not self-regulate itself, and let's be honest about the fact that as long as so many people are making money hand over fist it will not happen, the only recourse that is left is legislation. Had the NRA, manufacturers, and gun sellers done more to help diminish the chances of the numerous mass murders of innocent victims from happening, I might (and that's a huge might) have some sympathy for them. They have, however, been allowed pretty much carte blanche to sell weapons and ammunition that go far beyond what most people need in order to defend themselves or for hunting purposes. They further their ends by perpetuating a culture that instead of finding reasonable ways of dealing with conflicts, mental illness, and ways to prevent situations from escalating to physical violence is told that it must arm itself against "them." And then they hide behind the second amendment and rail against the government How dare the government take away our rights?! Indeed! And what about the rights of those of us who do not want a world where we are fed the preposterous notion that we must arm ourselves in order to live in safety because nothing else can be done? Or to give up trying to find reasonable solutions because the issues are "too complex?" Talk about your dumbing down of America.
...I understand "sin tax" and the like...and re-reread what I said-"ridiculous" taxes...50% tax on ammo is outlandish in my opinion...that's all I'm saying...so gun owners should not feel singled out and oppressed by such maneuvers,
I realize gun control is a very toxic issue right now.
Approximately 62 million American's own guns. In the past couple of years I can recall 3 people horribly abusing the "Right" we all experience under the second amendment (and I don't believe the last one was legally allowed to own guns). And it is "RIGHT" under our constitution (an inalienable human right according to our constitution, as essential to the life of liberty as the right to free speech). Also, at the heart of every one of those 3 attacks there appears to have been problematic social and/or psychological issues. Why then not focus on the cause rather than the tool they used to commit the act? Guns are only tools, and it's how they are used that's the problem. Yes we keep hearing "all matters" will be taken into consideration about the topic at hand, but let's be honest… the vast majority of the discussion has only been on gun control. The worst mass killings in US history have involved bombs and fire, but I suppose the actual number of deaths means less than the method of their deaths. Bottom line, the number of killings by guns is miniscule, compared to the number of firearms in the hands of our citizens. Can you say the same for alcohol or automobile deaths?
How many deaths are caused annually by alcohol abuse, by automobiles? Far far more than by guns. Do we demand limiting alcohol to 1%... where you would need vast quantities to get a buzz, or putting limiting devises on cars so they can't go over 35 MPH? Doing so wouldn't restrict the ability, or so-called "right," to purchase alcohol or drive automobiles. Or are we okay with them because trying to find solutions to the issues are "too complex?"
Mark Levin, probably one of the best constitutional lawyers IMO, had an excellent piece on what is really happening (picking out the best sections):
No discussion on the news programs about an imperial president exercising an authority he does not have under our constitution. Nothing. No discussion about all the lives saved and all the people protected as a result of the Second Amendment. Nothing. They continue to perpetuate the lie, the big lie that somehow, some new regulation, some new government fiat would have prevented what happened in Newtown, Connecticut. And then they pretend that they're for law enforcement. They pretend that they're hard on crime when they're not.
We have evidence over one decade after another of how the very same people pushing for gun control against law-abiding American citizens support radical left-wing judges who are soft on criminals, support weakened sentencing rules, decriminalizing this and that. Since when was Obama strong on fighting crime? Since when has Obama supported law enforcement? But here he is, you know, 'we have to stop gun violence.' No, we have to stop violent criminals.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vid...s_country.htmlAnyway, so they may do by executive fiat -- I'm trying to read between the lines -- a national gun database. Now, why would we need a national gun database? Well, listen, we need to know who has the weapons, at all times, and how many weapons they have and what weapons they have. How come? Why? The guy that killed all those people in Newtown, Connecticut, we know who he was and we know who had the weapons, his mother. So what does this national database have to do with anything? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Oh, okay, but we need one anyway, right? To prevent what exactly? To prevent what?
Dealing with the mental health issues is absolutely a factor but although the saying guns don't kill people may be partially true, it is people with guns who are killing people. And it is still only one part of the entire issue. The current discussions on gun control are not focusing on just the guns but the entire picture. And there will still be guns available for people to have to defend themselves but there should absolutely at least be restrictions, if not outright bans, IMO on the types of guns and ammunition that enable shooters to so easily wound or kill victims in the numbers that have been occurring.

Louisiana AC bans breast implants
However, a first of its kind emergency rule passed on Wed by Louisiana State Boxing and Wrestling Commission is, in keeping with the character of the state, more colorful that most - a six month moratorium was placed on on MMA fighters and boxers who have breast implants.
The Commission passed an emergency rule today prohibiting fighters with breast implants from participating in matches, unless they get clearance from the doctors who performed their plastic surgery.
"If they want to look good, then they don't have to be in the ring," said commissioner Harold Williams during a meeting at the Louisiana State Capitol.
The moratorium is in place for at least 60 days, while the commission gathers more information about other states' regulations of the matter. They are considering placing a blanket ban on fighters with breast implants altogether, or making the affected participants sign a waiver before participating.
A female fighter in the state recently pulled out of a scheduled match because of a problem with her breast implant, said vice chairman Buddy Embanato. He and several other commissioners are concerned about who would be financially responsible if a breast implant ruptured during competition.
Thomas Ferguson, a doctor on the commission, said a ruptured breast implant doesn't usually pose a serious health risk to the owner, but the required repairs are costly.
"Those redo surgeries are more complicated and expensive," he said.
The commission didn't know of any other state that has such a ban in place, though some states require fighters with implants to sign a waiver.
The new rule could have an impact on two or three female fights that have already been scheduled. Embanato said he wasn't sure if any of the women - outside of the one who has already pulled out of a fight because of problems - had breast implants.
Ferguson thought it was unlikely that a doctor who performed breast augmentations would sign off on a woman fighting.
"I don't know of a single plastic surgeon who is going to allow his artistic work to be messed up," he said.
