2010 Native American Student Artist Competition Exhibit Opens Tomorrow at U.S. Department of Education
2010 Native American Student Artist Competition Exhibit Opens Tomorrow at U.S. Department of Education
Rayanne Ganuelas, 509-789-2692, firstname.lastname@example.com
The U.S. Department of Education opens its sixth annual Student Artist Competition (SAC) Winners' Exhibit tomorrow in the Department lobby, featuring 21 art and nine writing entries chosen from more than 1,000 art and writing entries from more than 250 tribes in 34 states. The competition celebrates the value and successes of education in Native American communities and is open to all American Indian and Alaska Native students in preschool through grade 12.
"This exhibit is a testament to the value of a public education that embraces Native Americans' rich cultural heritage," said Charlie P. Rose, general counsel of the Department. "Through this display of student artwork, audiences can witness a passionate celebration of Native American culture."
The exhibit opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony will honor winners of the art and writing awards from around the country. Following the ceremony, students will take a guided tour of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
Rose will deliver remarks at the opening. Additional remarks will be given by Carolyn Webb de Macias, chief of staff of the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), Samilou Smith, an art teacher in Maryetta School District in Oklahoma whose nine students are in the show as 2010 SAC winners, Keevin Lewis, museum program coordinator of the Smithsonian Institution's Emerging Artist Program, and two of the 11th- and 12th-grade first-place winners for art and writing, Macklin Becenti (Navajo) and Berdina Nieto (Santo Domingo/Kewa).
Clayton Old Elk (Crow) will open the ceremony with a traditional blessing, and Dennis Zotigh (Kiowa) of the National Museum of the American Indian will be featured in a musical cultural performance.
Sponsored by the Office of Indian Education (OIE) in the Department's OESE, the SAC started in 2005 with only 138 student art entries. Over the course of the next year, the exhibit will travel across the country and be shown at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, Oklahoma History Center, Sisseton School District, Towanits Education Center, John Wesley Powell Memorial Museum, Quapaw Tribal Library, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
To participate in the competition, Native American students submitted art and writing related to this year's theme, Bringing Honor Through Education. The Department's OIE hopes to inspire students to explore the connection between their education and culture through art and writing.
The traveling exhibit demonstrates students' artistic talents and is a testament to American Indian and Alaska Native students' visions of their education and culture. More information about the exhibit as well as past and future competitions can be found at http://kids.indianeducation.org/sac.

On February 24, the world got the WWE Network. Never mind. On February 28, and only on my Safari web browser, I finally got the WWE Network. Sure, it got off to a rocky start and I still have some buffering issues. But most new technologies do have issues but I have enjoyed the Network in my three seconds of spare time in the last few weeks.
As I am finally finishing to wade through about sixty 2000 word essays, (does anyone at TJR want to help me grade?) I have begun to learn a few truths about wrestling history with a little help from the network. The WWE Network makes it quite easy to learn and explore wrestling's fascinating past.
The WWE tells me it will take years to actually explore the entire content of the network. Anyone who successfully does so will have my praise. Or is that pity? I think I meant pity. In my limited time on the Network, I have already learned a few key truths. Let us review what I have learned from the Network:
Why Don't We Have A Cruiserweight Show on the WWE Network?
It isn't like he invented the concept (he stole it) but I always loved the fact that Eric Bischoff brought the great action of the Cruiserweights to the mainstream American audience. It is funny all the attention went to the New World Order and its famous feud with WCW but it was the unbelievable cruiserweight action that keeps me watching and hoping now for a 21st century revival.
TJR's own Heather Hickey talked about the greatness of a legendary feud between Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio, especially their great Halloween Havoc encounter. It was brilliant stuff but we also had the honor of having classic matches in WWE as well. The stars I fondly remember that didn't have time to shine in WCW were: La Parka, Psychosis, Ultimo Dragon, Billy Kidman, Juventud Guerrera, Chris Jericho and Dean Malenko to name a few. The WWE, unsuccessfully, tried to copy the formula but WCW did it best in the late 1990's. Take exciting stars from Mexico and Japan and let them wrestle in their unique style. It is something I truly miss and wish would return.
For added fun watch Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan during the Cruiserweight matches on WCW pay-per-views. They are completely clueless to what is occurring in the ring. It is pure comedy gold from the 1990's.
ECW is Quality Wrestling
Anytime you see an insane hardcore move in the wrestling ring today, you run the risk of an "ECW" chant. A lot of fans remember the blood, table, barbwire and fire as all ECW was truly about. I know I forget that sometimes when looking at some of their history but I don't want to forget the quality wrestling that is usually overlooked. They weren't just insane people; they could really "go" plenty of times too in ECW's storied history.
I was a big fan of the farewell matches. For example, watch the classic encounter between Malenko and Guerrero. They didn't need blood and the ECW audience would appreciate its quality. I look forward to having people learn about other key performers like 2 Cold Scorpio, Mike Awesome, Masato Tanaka, Hayabusa and Jerry Lynn who didn't really get to show their true potential in the bigger leagues. Besides I could watch RVD and Jerry Lynn wrestle over and over again. ECW could tell a great 20-minute story without throwing a human being through an exploding C4 table. Except New Jack, that pretty much describes him perfectly.
Wrestling Before the 1980's Can Be Quite Boring
However not all wrestling should be remembered nostalgically. I have tried to look at wrestling before the early days of pay-per-view that the WWE Network is starting to showcase. It is brutal to try and watch for an extended period of time.
I certainly have a tremendous amount of respect for the pioneers of the past before the boom of the 1980's. I want to respect wrestling and respect the pioneers of the sport. However, I cannot watch their extended snooze fests. Did pre-1980's wrestlers know that moves existed besides rest holds? Did they even do cardio at any point in their entire lives? I look at 1970's wrestlers and say, "I could do that." There is a reason amateur wrestling declined in popularity as professional wrestling grows. The show is the thing. Thank goodness for people like Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat that recognized that a show could be made truly exciting.
Some People In the Attitude Era Were Insane
One of the first matches I watched when I got the WWE Network was the classic first ever TLC match between the Hardy Boyz, Edge & Christian and the Dudleys at Summerslam 2000. I watched the match with a younger fan that only stared watching around 2010. They were shocked. As we watched them throw chairs at each other's head, fall off ladders onto the floor or through four tables, she asked the question, "Where these people crazy?" The best response is, "Yes. Yes, they were."
As I think about to some of my favorite matches involving these three tag teams, Mick Foley or the Undertaker, I think how naïve we were. It is quite difficult today to watch Mick Foley get hit with dozens of chair shots from the Rock at Royal Rumble 1999 or watch any of those classic TLC matches in the early 2000's. I remember then fondly but now I see the lasting effects on these wrestlers.
So if an older fan tells me they miss that era, I shake my head. I care about the performers who entertain me 300 days a year. They deserve a future after wrestling that so many were robbed of from this era.
I appreciate what the WWE Network allows. The chance to view events and wrestlers that I never had a chance to see is an amazing one. As a History teacher, I am glad this history is now preserved in such a wonderful way. At least I will when my content stops buffering.
Feel free to contact me at email@example.com. Additionally, I have my Twitter account, WWELasher as well. I hope you will read me again soon. If anyone wants to grade a few term papers it would be a great help to me.

WACO, Texas -- An AWOL soldier convicted of planning to blow up a restaurant full of Fort Hood troops has been sentenced to life in prison by a federal judge in Texas.
Army Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo received the punishment Friday in Waco.
Abdo told authorities he planned to make bombs as part of a "massive attack" against Fort Hood soldiers last year. He was convicted in May on six federal charges, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
The 22-year-old represented himself at the sentencing.
Abdo was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky., when he was arrested with bomb-making materials last summer at a Fort Hood-area motel.

How to incorporate mirrored furniture into your home decor
Mirrored furniture can add an interesting element to the décor in your home. It can give your home a little bit more of a retro or even modern feel, depending on what and how you use it. To some, mirrored furniture may seem a bit tacky, and I agree to an extent. I think that a little touch here and there can actually benefit the overall look in your home. It all depends on what you use and how you incorporate it.
A really simple way to use mirrored furniture in your home would be to pick out a small mirrored chest that you like. It could be solid mirror, or have just have mirrored doors. You could put the mirrored chest near the entryway of your home, and place a vase of fresh flowers on top. Or you could use one as an end table in your living room or a night stand in your bedroom. Any of these options would be an easy and toned-down way of using mirrored furniture in your décor.
If you are looking to create the illusion of more open space in a smaller room in your house, you can simply hang a large mirror that you like on a solid wall. If you want to go all out, you could try a decorative mirrored wall panel. This could be mounted on the wall, or simply placed in corner of your home that especially needs some decorative attention.
Just make sure that you use mirrored furniture sparsely, because you don't want yourself or your guests to feel as if they're in outer space. A little touch here and there can add a special touch and even create the illusion of openness in a smaller room.

Drupal Module: Introducing Nodequeue Extras
The Nodequeue module is an invaluable tool in the Drupal developer's toolbox. It's often the best and most versatile way to allow site admins to promote featured content. That said, it is not without its drawbacks. The initial release of Nodequeue Extras attempts to solve two common shortcomings of Nodequeue.
Contextual links
Out of the box, nodequeue forces users to browse the site to find eligible nodes to add or remove from a queue (or browse the admin section of the site to find the right nodequeue). This tends to be a usability problem for users who are otherwise accustomed to finding the tools they need to edit content near the content itself. Nodequeue Extras makes the queue-editing workflow much easier for your users by adding contextual queue-edit links to any views that contain a relationship to a nodequeue.
Optional subqueues
We commonly find ourselves using nodequeue to build automatically-generated lists of content (containing, say, 5 recent news articles) that can be partially overridden by an admin. In these cases the admin wants to be able to optionally specify some or all of the articles in the list but have the remainder automatically populated with the most recent articles. This is easy to do with Nodequeue by creating an optional relationship to a queue and configuring your sort criteria carefully.
We commonly need to do this on taxonomy-term landing pages using subqueues, and therein lies a problem. Adding a contextual filter that limits results to a specific subqueue means just that: only nodes that have been added to the subqueue will be returned. There's no way to do a partially-overridden list as described above when using subqueues. Nodequeue Extras provides a way around this limitation with a special relationship handler and argument handler. Here's how you set it up:
- Instead of the regular nodequeue relationship handler, add the relationship entitled "Nodequeue: Queue (Extras)." Be sure "Require this relationship" is un-checked and be sure to choose at least one queue by which to limit results.
- Add an argument of the type "Nodequeue: Subqueue reference (optional)." This argument expects a subqueue reference (for taxonomy smartqueues this is the term tid, for example). Configure it as desired but make sure to select the relationship you created in the previous step. Your view is now set up to optionally relate to the desired subqueue.
- To get the desired sort order described above we add two sort handlers:
- Nodequeue: Position (asc)
- Content: Post date (desc)
And that's it! Hopefully your nodequeue-wrangling will be a bit easier going forward.

John Wall the Wizard? Believe it.
The Washington Wizards appeared to win the Wall sweepstakes Tuesday night when the franchise, against great odds, won the NBA's draft lottery.
The award? The No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, which, by all indications, appears to be Kentucky guard Wall.
"It's just a great experience," Wall said during the ESPN broadcast Tuesday night. "Being in this opportunity to get drafted by any team means a lot. This is a good chance for me and my family and my team to work hard and get ready to play at the next level."
The Wizards had only a 10.3 percent chance of winning the top pick in the draft. The New Jersey Nets, who tumbled to the No. 3 pick, were the favorites, at 25 percent, to win the lottery and perhaps the services of Wall.
Even though NBA analysts agree that Wall would be the top pick no matter what team is picking at No. 1, Wizards minority owner Ted Leonsis declined to show his hand.
"I have no idea," Leonsis said when asked if he would draft Wall.
In the likelihood that Wall gets drafted by Washington, he will be looked at as an immediate cornerstone of a maligned team that suffered a disappointing year after the season-long suspension of NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas.
"I'm just going to come in and work hard, try to make the team better, try to listen to the organization and everybody, and try to win games for an organization next year," Wall said.
Philadelphia, New Jersey, Minnesota and Sacramento rounded out the top five. Kentucky underclassmen Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Patrick Patterson, Daniel Orton and Eric Bledsoe are all projected to be selected in the first round of the June 24 draft.
- Great story by Andy Katz of ESPN.com on Wall and why the future first-round pick believes a year at Kentucky benefited him.
Wall likely headed to Washington
John Wall the Wizard? Believe it.

Don't be surprise if Washington takes wall and trades him for a vet. There are a lot of NBA players out there who are up for free agency. Dewayne Wade and LeBron James to name a couple. I think Washington wants to get better now, and the will have to give up Wall to do it. Wall is going to have a impact on the league early, but Washington wants to be in the playoff hunt next year. I don't know if Wall is ready to lead a team deep into the playoffs his first year.

|On RQS4, change the requisition status code to 145. When the system returns status code 149, change the status code to 150 and the system will return it at a 200. Go to the RQS2 screen and change the status code to 245, it will return at a 249 and then change the status code to 250 - Ready to Attach to Solicitation. With the requisition status code at 250, and the solicitation status code at 304, go to SRQN and type CLEAR in the function line and press enter. With ADD in the function line, type the solicitation number, the requisition sequence number (beginning with 001) and the requisition number, then press enter. If successful, this will re-attach the requisition to the solicitation.
Return to question list
|How do I increase the pre-encumbrance of a requisition?
|The buyer will need to return the requisition for additional funds by changing the status code on RQS2 to 230. The system will return with status code 170 Attach to Sol/Return for Funds. Inquire the requisition on RQS4 and change the status code to 105. Make necessary changes to the requisition line(s) by inquiring on the line on RLI2 and changing the unit price. On RACG, add an account distribution change record for the requisition accounting distribution that needs to be increased or decreased.
Once the change RACG record is added, change the status code to '1'. Then return the requisition to purchasing by changing the status code on RQS4 to 145. When the system returns status code149, change the status code to 150.
|How can I re-print a solicitation when the status is already at 361?
|Once a solicitation is final printed, it can only be re-printed by processing a re-bid. Change SDOC status to 305, then change to 355. The solicitation re-bid will print. If you need to see the solicitation print prior to a final print, use the draft print status code of 345.
Return to question list
|Where do I enter the Geo Bid code if I didn't enter it on the RQS5 screen?
|The Geo Bid Code is entered on the SDO2 screen.
Return to question list
|When is an overnight solicitation print required?
|An overnight print is required when you need to generate a bid list or when the solicitation is very long.
Return to question list
|Where do I add additional vendors to my solicitation?
|Additional vendors can be added on SVE2.
Return to question list
|Why can't I do a final award on-line on SDOC?
REQ LINE NOT = 243/244/196/199 is the most common reason for not being able to do a final award (status code change to 384) on SDOC. The system requires that all lines either be awarded or canceled when doing a final award. If you receive this error and need to cancel requisition lines, inquire on the requisition line on RLI2, then change the status code to 199. Once all lines that will not be awarded are canceled, change the status code on SDOC to 384 to process the final award.
Another reason a final on-line award can not be processed is when there are more that 10 vendors and/or more than 55 lines being awarded.
|After status changes to 386 on SDOC for final award, where do I find my purchase order number?
Go to the ORNO screen and inquire on the requisition number and your order number(s) should display. The next step would be to inquire on order number on ORD4 and complete the processing of your order by changing the status to 435, then 440.
You can also find the order number on RVE2 for the solicitation and vendor number.

BS, Psychology, University of Massachusetts, Boston, MA
As an undergraduate I took a class entitled "Learning and Memory" that absolutely fascinated me. It really made me think about the molecular mechanisms that underlie our ability to learn and retain memories. After that class I began working in neuroscience labs and have continued to enjoy research ever since.
The Sackler school and its faculty create an environment that is supportive, collaborative, and intellectually stimulating. The willingness of the faculty, post-docs, and students to engage with each other and discuss science makes the Sackler school a great learning environment. During my graduate work here, I have learned to think critically about research, received helpful feedback on my own work, and made amazing life-long friendships.
Right now I would like to go into industry.
When I interviewed at Sackler I was impressed by how welcoming the students and faculty were. The friendly community combined with high quality research made Sackler an easy choice.
I like to read novels, do yoga, and sit out on my back deck with friends and a drink.
I love how convenient it is to get around Boston. There is a great local music scene, fantastic restaurants, amazing museums, and of course the Red Sox.
I like Harvard Gardens for the atmosphere and Neptune Oyster House for fancy occasions.

What foods are in the Grains Group?
Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products. See the Grains Group food gallery for examples.
Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, Whole Grains and Refined Grains. Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel ― the bran, germ, and endosperm. Examples of whole grains include whole-wheat flour, bulgur (cracked wheat), oatmeal, whole cornmeal, and brown rice. Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ. This is done to give grains a finer texture and improve their shelf life, but it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins. Some examples of refined grain products are white flour, de-germed cornmeal, white bread, and white rice.
Most refined grains are enriched. This means certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back after processing. Fiber is not added back to enriched grains. Check the ingredient list on refined grain products to make sure that the word "enriched" is included in the grain name. Some food products are made from mixtures of whole grains and refined grains.
How many grain foods are needed daily?
The amount of grains you need to eat depends on your age, sex, and level of physical activity. Recommended daily amounts are listed in this chart. Most Americans consume enough grains, but few are whole grains. At least half of all the grains eaten should be whole grains.
What counts as an ounce equivalent of grains?
In general, 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of ready-to-eat cereal, or ½ cup of cooked rice, cooked pasta, or cooked cereal can be considered as 1 ounce equivalent from the Grains Group.
This chart lists specific amounts that count as 1 ounce equivalent of grains towards your daily recommended intake. In some cases the number of ounce-equivalents for common portions are also shown.

Two men who dont know each other share a journey symbolized by one big bridge.
For some, running or walking the 6.2-mile Cooper River Bridge Run and Walk is as unfathomable as climbing Mount Everest.
It used to be for Bryan Ganey of Moncks Corner and Clinton Terrell of Ridgeville. Both men suffered from obesity so severe that it was crippling. Both men seized control of it, forgoing bariatric surgery, and transformed their lives through healthy eating and exercise. And both view the walk, scheduled for March 31, as a gateway to their new lives.
What a difference a year makes.
One year ago, Clinton Terrell weighed just shy of 500 pounds and never would have fathomed walking the Bridge Run.
As of March 8, the 5-foot 9-inch Ridgeville man weighed 238 pounds and will walk the bridge with a friend and co-workers from the Goose Creek office of South Carolina Federal Credit Union.
"I'm more happy than I ever have been. I'm 30 but I feel like I'm 20. I have a lust for life that I never had and in the process of doing things I would have never done," says Terrell.
His moment of truth came after a short walk from the credit union building to his car. He was out of breath.
"At that moment, I knew I had to make a change or life really had nothing for me," recalls Terrell.
He went to the Medical University of South Carolina Weight Management Center.
On the first consultation, he was asked about bariatric surgery, and Terrell shot it down, calling it a "Band-Aid."
"I wanted it the hard way," says Terrell. "I wanted to know that when I faced hard choices down the road that I'd be strong enough to make the right decision."
But he did adhere to the center's program of diet, exercise, nutrition training, group meetings and medical assessments. He exercises for one hour, six days a week, doing cardio on the elliptical machine and lifting weights
"One of the first things they did was to weigh me. I had been terrified of scales for years, knowing my weight was out of control. But I was committed to doing this -- determined to make a change and have a better, healthier life -- so I got on the scales," he says.
He ultimately hopes to weigh in the 200-210 range and eventually plans to have corrective surgery to remove excess skin and tighten it. But he already revels in otherwise fairly normal routines, such as being able to buy clothes in regular stores and not going to "big and tall" stores or special-ordering clothes.
"I've never flown in an airplane because I was too big to fit in a seat, so I'm going to fly somewhere to go on vacation," he says.
Bryan Ganey's journey started in June 2010, when he was hospitalized at Trident Medical Center with a near fatal pulmonary embolism. At the time, his 5-foot-8-inch frame carried 577 pounds.
While in the hospital, he resolved to change and made a bucket list of things he wanted to do, including the Bridge Run.
He knew that bariatric surgery was an option but chose not to have it.
"I know myself and my compulsive overeating. It (surgery) seemed like the easy way out, and I knew that if I didn't put in the work, nothing would change. I was only interested in a long-term, sustainable solution," says the 39-year-old Moncks Corner man.
So Ganey started walking and eating a "common sense diet of fruits, vegetables, lean meats, low-fat dairy, whole grains and a lot of water" -- about 2,500 calories per day.
The weight starting dropping, and at 400 pounds last spring, he walked the Bridge Run. It took him about three hours and put so much stress on his knees that he had to take off work from Verizon Wireless.
The injury didn't deter him.
He has continued moving and eating healthy, losing an average of about five pounds every two weeks. To celebrate getting under 300 pounds in mid-February, Ganey got a new driver's license. At the time of this interview (March 7), he weighed 287 pounds.
Besides feeling more energetic and happy, the payoff also comes in dropping his medications from 10 to two, saving about $1,000 in out-of-pocket expenses each year.
Ultimately, Ganey wants to get to just under 200 pounds. But before then, he's looking forward to a faster, less painful walk.

Facultative biped
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (December 2009)
A facultative biped is an animal that is capable of walking or running on two legs, often for only a limited period, in spite of normally walking or running on four limbs or more. Well-known examples include many lizards such as the Basilisk lizard, and even some cockroaches when running at top speed. In order to be considered a true facultative biped, an animal must be capable of sustained movement over many strides while bipedal – simply adopting a static bipedal posture while resting or looking around is not sufficient.
Facultative bipedality is most common in lizards, but also occurs in primates, bears, insects, crabs and even octopuses. It is commonly suggested that many extinct basal archosaurs were facultative bipeds, as well as hadrosaurs.
In many cases, facultative bipedality is a function of speed. Many lizard species, as well as cockroaches and crabs, will switch to a bipedal gait at very high speeds. Reasons for this are unclear — it may be that a bipedal gait allows greater stride length, without the forelimbs interfering with the swinging and placement of the hind limbs, or it may simply be that at high speeds, the forces in the muscles which retract and extend the hind limbs are so great that animal's body rises into the air, similar to a "wheelie" in bikes.
Low-speed bipedality is less common, as is most commonly associated with threat displays (bears, goannas, frilled lizards), camouflage (octopus), or possessing an anatomy that is highly specialized for arboreal locomotion and makes terrestrial locomotion difficult (gibbons).

Circuit Protection Devices Address USB Suspend-mode Power Consumption
Fri, 05/28/2010 - 7:00am
Tyco Electronics' PolyZen ZEN059V130A24LS device helps provide circuit protection for electronics with USB ports and meets Suspend Mode power-consumption requirements for USB 3.0. The polymer-enhanced Zener diodes help provide coordinated protection against damage caused by overvoltage, overcurrent and ESD transients in a single package. The PolyZen ZEN059V130A24LS device combines high power-absorption capabilities with low Vz (Zener voltage) and low power-consumption. Due to the device's polymer thermal-protection architecture, it is able to absorb high-energy pulses and effectively block overvoltage and reverse bias sources that could ultimately damage a stand-alone Zener diode. With a Vz below 6 V, it helps protect sensitive downstream electronics, and its low 5 V power consumption meets USB 3.0 Suspend Mode requirements.

If you're thinking about Christmas in Hawaii, it is never too early to plan. In fact it's time to get a jump on it now for best availability and price. Many people plan their holidays in the islands one year in advance.
These don't qualify as true Hawaii deals as the holidays are always the highest priced dates for Hawaii vacations. Having said that, following are the best dates and prices we found as of September 25, 2013. At this point the best deals are on Delta. Otherwise, fares from the west coast are mostly in the $800-$1,100+ range.
Best priced dates are frequently just before and on the holidays themselves. Also because of how the holidays fall this year, and if you are able to get away starting on December 30, prices drop. If you have even more flexibility and can leave the mainland on December 31, you'll find better deals to be had.
Use flexible date search to find lowest cost Hawaii airfare. Prices below are round trip including tax and are based on 6-nights. Other lengths of stay are of course possible.

Linda Hallemann (1 year ago)
Just starting to plan our vaca to Hawaii. We are thinking about late July 2014 or early August 2014. Looks like fares are around $950 (from St. Louis) right now. Do they typically come down a bit as the date gets closer?
Jenny (1 year ago)
Do you recommend a good time to start booking March 2014 flights? They seem higher now than in past years. And advice? Thank you!
Beat of Hawaii (1 year ago)
@Jenny: March flights may not have sales as it is Spring Break. What to do depends on how determined you are to coming to Hawaii and how fixed your dates are. If you're flexible then wait and see, and if not, book now.
@ Linda: Those dates aren't likely to have sales. If you can wait until mid-August, prices should be better.

Tenants who search out homes to rent likely do so for a number of reasons — they can be roomy, include a yard and are in peaceful settings.
Sometimes, there's one less quantifiable feature that attracts renters to residences: the dwellings just feel like home.
That's arguably the case at 789 Condon Drive, a ranch house with dock on James Island. The residence is available for $2,100 a month.
Dianna Clement-Ross of DCR Properties, who is handling the rental, says she is looking for a year's lease. Although the time frame "is not set in granite," she thinks the rental should be long-term since the property is more than simply an investment.
"This is someone's home," she says.
Moreover, 789 Condon Drive touts a host of alluring perks. Situated in the quiet Battery Point neighborhood, the three-bedroom house borders a tributary of James Island Creek.
"This home has a lot going for it," Clement-Ross says.
The fully furnished house showcases two bathrooms, combination living-dining room, large eat-in kitchen and a two-car garage, she says.
Another benefit is the proximity of water. The residence backs up to a creek and sports scenic views, she says. A spacious screened-in porch off the kitchen overlooks James Island Creek and adjacent marsh, she says.
The house also sits in a prime location to get places in a short period of time, according to Clement-Ross. "It's right off Harbor View Road," she says. Downtown is five minutes away via the James Island expressway.
Clement-Ross says the property's "home sweet home" appeal is its strongest feature. For instance, "It's got a floating dock," she says, "for when you get home from the hustle and bustle."
The rental house is on the western ridge of Battery Point. Going south, take the expressway to the Harbor View Road exit. Turn right on Harbor View and cross James Island Creek. Make a right on North Shore Drive, which is the first street after the creek. Turn right on Condon Drive. Ahead is 789 Condon Drive.
For more information, contact Clement-Ross at 843-566-2361.

What are Functional Foods?
Functional foods can be defined as foods that contain components that impart health benefits beyond basic nutrition. The functional attributes of many traditional foods and food components are being discovered. In addition, new food products are being developed to enhance or incorporate the beneficial compounds.
Many common foods, along with specially-modified new food products, are included as being "functional foods." A few examples of functional foods are licorice, green tea, soy, flaxseed, garlic, wine, fish, fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes and seeds.
Many times the terms functional foods, nutraceuticals and phytochemicals are used interchangeably. Phytochemicals are plant chemicals, usually referring to those compounds which seem to have biological effects on the body. Again, technically this would include vitamins and minerals, but usually means non-traditional compounds that do not cause a deficiency condition if not present. Examples are lycopene and isoflavones. Many of the foods listed as functional foods are functional foods because they contain a certain phytochemical.

2012 a Huge Success!
Dear Supporters and FRNdz,
They say that a year can make a big difference, and boy are they right! In just a year since our launch, we have experienced so many positive changes here at the Food Recovery Network (FRN). One of such highlights was expanding our chapters and donating over 108,000 pounds of food to those in need. This was possible in part to the work of our six new chapters at: Providence College, University of Texas at Austin, Scripps/Harvey Mudd/Claremont McKenna, Rhode Island School of Design, University of Michigan, and Rochester Institute of Technology, who join our original chapters at the: University of Maryland College Park, Brown University, Pomona College, and University of California Berkeley.
All this success would not have been possible without the work and dedication of all our college volunteers and the organizations that support our cause, so we send a heartfelt thank you to them!
With so much to say and cover, we won't be able to fit it all into this one blog post, so instead we'll keep it short and sweet.
We will start off with some of our favorite memories from the year: In July, FRN team member Lauren Behgam won the grand prize of $15,000 in Ashoka's Banking on Youth competition. In November, we held a week long campaign, "More Students, Less Waste," raising awareness about food waste across the country and inspiring students to start food recovery programs at their own schools. And just this month, our Founder and CEO Ben Simon was selected as a Social Entrepreneur of the Year by Univision.
Among these great achievements one of the most important to us was receiving the 501c3 status, making us an official tax-exempt non-profit. We also built an all-star board of advisors to help support our growth, a list of which you can find in this article.
Since numbers speak louder than words, here is a snapshot of the work that FRN's members did this semester:
Pounds of Food Recovered in Fall 2012: 37,887
Total Number of Pounds Recovered so far: 108,007
Total Number of Meals Donated so far: 86,405
Number of Shelters Donated To: 21
Total Student Volunteer Hours so far: 5120
It's hard to believe FRN has accomplished so much in only one year – but 2013 is looking even brighter. We have begun working with Bon Appetit Management Company and the Environmental Protection Agency to bring food recovery to a wider audience. Thanks to these new partnerships, and the work of interested students across the country, we are expediting the creation of many new recovery programs on college campuses across the United States.
But our work isn't done yet. In fact, with 1 in 5 children and 1 in 12 adults still at risk of hunger in America, there is more we have to do. You can continue to help by liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter and telling your friends about FRN.
And from now until December 31st, every dollar you donate will be matched up to $5,000. So if the holiday spirit strikes you, donate to us HERE. And remember, $0.10 gives a meal to someone who needs it. Just $15 feeds 150 people.
We hope you join us in celebrating the achievements of this year, and looking forward to everything that will be accomplished in 2013.
Enjoy the Holidays! See you in the New Year!
Best Wishes,
The FRN Team

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry Finally Make Amends
Peace has finally been made between Halle Berry, her ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and her fiance` Olivier Martinez. Last night , Aubry appeared in family court in Los Angeles, and with his and Berry's lawyers in tow (Berry nor Martinez attended), they made amends.
"The parties have reached an amicable agreement," said Berry's lawyer Blair Berk and Gabriel's attorney Shawn Holley, in a written statement. "There will be no further statements regarding this matter."
And although the lawyers weren't exactly clear on what the agreement pertains, a source close to the situations believes it resolves the child-custody wrangling that has been ongoing with Nahla, the daughter that Berry and Aubry have together.

No (except from the Obami): "Does anyone think that Iran would be shipping arms to terrorists or building nuclear weapons if it was a democracy?" asks Elliott Abrams.
Predictable (when you nominate Tony Rezko's banker): "It could be a rough few months ahead for Alexi Giannoulias. A federal judge ruled Wednesday that former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's trial will proceed on June 3, as scheduled. Blagojevich's team had been seeking a postponement until November, saying they didn't have enough time to prepare. … But that's not all Giannoulias will be dealing with. By late April, the Giannoulias family bank must come up with $85 million in order to comply with a federal agreement and keep operating. Giannoulias has already said that he expects the bank to fail."
Pathetic: "Rounding up the votes for health care has also proven difficult. House Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn told McClatchy Newspapers that final consideration of the bill may not occur until Easter (April 4) or later. He is dealing with dozens of members who refuse to commit to a firm position in hopes their silence will force the leadership to pull the bill and move on to other issues. 'Just say nothing,' is how one Democratic staffer explained the strategy being taken by many members. 'Maybe it will just go away, and we can avoid a tough vote this close to the election.'" Maybe it will just go away? Profiles in courage they aren't.
Close: According to Byron York, "there are 209 votes against the bill at this moment, leaving opponents seven short of being able to defeat it. By the same count, there are 204 votes for the bill, leaving the Democratic leadership 12 short of being able to pass it. There are 18 votes thought to be undecided." In other words, seven votes away from Obama's Waterloo.
Cranky Big Labor bosses descend on the White House: "AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka is headed into a meeting with President Obama this afternoon after the White House and Congressional leaders have begun to discuss a higher-than-expected excise tax on some health care plans, in order to maintain their claim that health care legislation will reduce the deficit, a source involved in health care talks said." Remember that the overwhelming support of core Democrats in midterm elections is what's supposed to counteract the tsunami of opposition to ObamaCare. But what if that support is only lukewarm?
Obvious who you want making national-security calls. "Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top commander of American and NATO troops in Afghanistan, contradicted the attorney general on Wednesday when he said that actually, the military still wants to capture Osama bin Laden alive. 'I think that is something that is understood by everyone,' he said. But perhaps not by Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr., who on Tuesday told a House subcommittee that the chances of capturing Mr. bin Laden alive were 'infinitesimal' and that he would either be killed by the United States or killed by his own people."
Common, among many observers these days: "Arab world says hopes in Obama are dwindling."
Picky, picky: "From Maine to Hawaii, Americans send people to Washington, D.C., to be their representatives — to cast votes that represent the will of the people who elected them to do the job. But now, as the House of Representatives moves toward approving one of the most sweeping pieces of domestic legislation in U.S. history, critics are fuming that Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to usher through a health care bill … without a vote."

Police collecting unused medication on Take Back Day
SUNBURY - The Northumberland-Montour Drug Task Force will again participate in the National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day sponsored by the U.S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), according to District Attorney Tony Rosini.
Unused prescription medication will be collected from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday throughout Northumberland, Montour, Union and Snyder counties with "no questions asked," Rosini said.
Unused drugs can be dropped off at Shamokin, Coal Township, Kulpmont, Mount Carmel, Mount Carmel Township, Sunbury, Catawissa, Locust Township, Danville and Berwick police departments, sheriffs offices and state police stations. All official collection sites are listed on the DEA web site at www.justice.gov/dea. They can be found be clicking on the "Got Drugs" banner on the right side and then clicking on the link "Locate Collection Site Near You."
The service is free and anonymous. The medications will be turned over to the DEA for proper disposal. The names of individuals turning in medications are not being recorded.
Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are reportedly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to keeping old drugs that can get mixed up with current medications. Studies have shown that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from home medicine cabinets.
In addition, authorities say the usual methods for disposing of unused medicines - flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash - �pose potential safety and health hazards as the drugs enter the environment through the water supply. Recent testing has found small amounts of medications in rivers and streams and in fish and other aquatic life.
Rosini urged residents to take advantage of this collection to surrender expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceuticals, controlled substances and other medications for proper disposal. Liquid medications will be accepted in their containers.
Sharps and needles will not be accepted. Medications will be listed on a manifest and delivered to a hazardous waste incinerator for proper disposal.
Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative and should not be placed in the collection boxes.

12v to 3.2v drop using resistor?
I was looking at putting in a few L.E.D's in different location of the case to light up some components each L.E.D going to be 5mm at 0.02 amps which is going to be the current drop.
Now going to use a current limited resistor at 1/4 watt instead of a voltage regulator because L.E.D's are current controlled and not voltage controlled.
My question is how many ohm's sure the resistor be was going to go with 470 ohm's or 560ohm's, don't what it to be to bright, just to light up the waterblocks and do under light for the bottom of the case and for some back lighting. going to power off the 12v side due to installing some lighted flip switchs in front to controlled light's and ETC. Was also going to do a RGB LED Controller for two modes one for on always and other mode to flash with music.

And now allow us to reveal the single greatest envy-producing feature of life in South Lake Union. You get off work early on a Friday afternoon, you stop by your condo to pick up your overnight bag, and then you walk a couple of blocks over to Kenmore Air's seaplane terminal on the south side of Lake Union. And there you board a 10-passenger turbine Otter for your weekend in the San Juans or Victoria. Yes, of course, your co-workers will glare at you on Monday, but that's the idea.
If you need to fly to more distant destinations, that will be easily done from South Lake Union after December 2009. Then you'll be able to board the Seattle Streetcar, transfer to the Link Light Rail system at Westlake Center, and find yourself at Sea-Tac Airport a few minutes later without a single bead of sweat induced by freeway traffic, full parking lots, or worrying about missing your flight.

Work to improve Northam Burrows access road to start this month
Posted: April 18, 2013|
Work to improve a Northam Burrows access road is due to start later this month.
The potholes in Sandymere Road, which leads onto Northam Burrows from the Northam side, will start to be repaired on April 29.
Devon and Cornwall Surfacing, based in Abbotsham, have been contracted by Torridge District Council, who own the burrows.
The work is due to finish on May 3 and the road will be closed for the five days while the work is carried out.
Access onto the burrows will still be possible on the road from Westward Ho! which follows the pebble ridge and from the Appledore side along The Watertown entrance road.

I like the trainer but...
The trainer works very well for me and I find the unit challenging but agree with others that it is not a 1 for 1 measurement to the road. I do find an issue with my rear tire gaining a flat spot...I have a Bontrager R7 Plus 700X23 tire...any ideas on that? May just be me being a novice and not an issue with the trainer at all?
