Lately Tab Bennett's life is like a fairy tale. Unfortunately for her, it's the Grimm kind. The kind where the woods are deep and dark and full of monsters; where a mother's longing for something forbidden means terrible consequences for her daughter; where the huntsman who takes the princess for a walk in the woods plans to steal her heart – literally – right out of her chest.
Right up until the visions started, Tab would have described herself as normal. But her sisters' disappearance brought long-hidden secrets into the light, revealing a world she never dreamed existed and a destiny she cannot deny. Now "normal" means wicked subterranean kings and murdered Elvish princesses and clandestine revenge schemes. Suddenly Tab is juggling her fiancé's broken heart and a handsome prince's irresistible advances while trying to unravel an assassination plot, and avoid a sociopath with an axe to grind.
As she struggles to hold on to the human world she's always known and understand her place in the magical one she's just discovered, dangerous forces have begun gathering around her. If she wants to live to see the happily ever after at the end of the story, Tab will have to figure out who she can trust, who wants her dead, and why. The answers will change everything she believes about herself, the people she loves, and the place she calls home.

Salon owner wants to serve, educate
In addition to offering hairstyling and other services, Lisa Reneé Reyes says he hopes to help educate customers on proper hair care.
Her business, The COLOR bar hair salon, which is at 3905-B Providence Road South in Waxhaw, opened in December of last year.
Reyes has been working as a hairstylist since 2005. She previously worked in Charlotte but is happy to now have a business in Waxhaw.
"Waxhaw reminded me of home," Reyes, who is from Long Island, New York, said in reference to why she wanted to open a business in the town.
At her business, customers can get hair coloring and creative cuts, as well as their makeup done, eyebrows waxed and other services. She uses an organic aloe vera based hair care system in her salon and works with each of her customers to help them understand proper hair care and how to care for their hair at home in order to keep it healthy. To her, the work she does when it comes to hair and other cosmetology related activities is art and she considers herself and the salon staff as artists instead of just hairstylists and employees, she said.
Communication is important among staff at the salon as well as with customers. She and others at the salon, work to create a friendly atmosphere. They also work to maintain good relationships among themselves and with customers. Along with her husband, who sometimes helps with different tasks around the business, she considers everyone working at the business as her family, she said.
"We are all very sarcastic and fun and that's why we do so well. We all love what we do so it's not a job it's a craft. I have a great team and without them we would not be here, (or) so successful today. I love my community, I love Waxhaw. We've gotten a great response from the community and I really think that I am making a name for myself here," she said.
She enjoys what she does, working with clients and seeing her staff every day, she said.
"I love coming here and I love my clients," she said.
Some upcoming activities planned at the salon include a Prom Glam Event for Weddington High School students on May 17th and a grand opening celebration on June 8.
For more information about the salon or its upcoming activities call 704-843-4000 or visit the business' Facebook page.
The COLOR bar hair salon is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m.- 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 9:30 a.m.- 6 p.m. It is closed Sunday.

Gear Review
fyi about these skirts
You can easily size up 2 sizes and it will still fit snug around hips and waist since these skirts are formfitting on top, then billow out nicely for a very comfortable walk (but may be a tad long if size up?) It is also pretty easy to fold the waist over to shorten since the waist elastic is wide and only sewn single stitch to the waist (so other side of elastic is not tacked to fabric) The wavy navy has a great stretch factor without being flimsy and it is not see-through at all. The colors are not really navy and pink but rather midnight navy/black and rust brown. The sangria is a bit thinner fabric and is a tad sheer in the sunlight but not sheer indoors. The mid grey tye die is a very thin fabric and is the most sheer in the light - by sheer I mean that you can see the sillouette of thighs.
BTW all the skirts are really pretty and flattering if you dont mind the sheer-factor ! length is very max even for 5"8

DISTRIBUTED PRIORITY OF ACCESS TO A COMPUTER UNIT This invention relates to digital computers where a plurality of users vie for access to one or more computer elements such as memory modules. In a more specific aspect, the invention relates to a distributed priority operation wherein a fixed priority sequence as between users is established and wherein the starting point in said sequence is sequentially shifted in response to completion of each access to a given element.
In digital computer systems it is often desirable to share a common facility such as a memory module among several users. In such operation there is a need for control of priority in order to determine which user gets access to a computer facility at any given time. There are several commonly used methods for establishing user priority. A fixed priority is common wherein there is an established order of importance among users of the facility. Each time a facility becomes available for use, the most important user, the one having highest priority is allowed to use the facility. With this method, the highest priority user conceivably may monopolize the facility.
It has been found desirable to equally divide the resources of the facility among the several users on a demand basis. That is, all active users of the facility get an equal share of the resources. The present invention provides for such facility sharing in implementing a distributed priority among users. It selects by a state in a count cycle of N counts the highest priority request from one of N users whose priorities are related one to the other by a fixed priority sequence. The selection for each has a different starting point. More particularly, if a priority count is zero, the winner of the fixed priority vie with the requests ordered 0, l...N is granted priority and, if the count is one, the winner of the fixed priority vie with requests ordered 1, 2...N, is granted priority, etc. Each time any request obtains priority, a counter is incremented in the above count cycle.
Provision is further made for selecting between distributed priority logic and straight fixed priority vie.
In accordance with die invention, control of access of a computer element between a plurality of N users involves establishing a fixed priority sequence as between said users. Thereafter a counting cycle is established of order N. The count in the counting cycle is incremented following each ac cess to the element and in response to each of a plurality of successive element access complete signals. In response to incrementing the counting cycle, the starting point in the fixed priority sequence is shifted one step. By this means, all users vying for access to the element will be assured of access upon request at least once during the counting cycle.
The means for carrying out the invention preferably involve a computer unit of fixed hardware, but may involve software. In either case, means are provided for establishing a fixed priority sequence for access to a computer module as between N users vying therefor. A counter means establishes a counting cycle of order N. Actuating means are provided for stepping one count in the counting cycle following each access to the module in response to each of a plurality of successive memory access complete signals. Means are then provided in response to incrementing of the counter which shift the priority starting point one step in the priority sequence. In its broadest aspect, the invention involves establishing a fixed priority sequence as between N users and in response to completion of each access to the unit vied for the starting point in the fixed priority sequence is shifted one step.
For further understanding of the present invention and for further advantages thereof, reference may now be had to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. I is a block diagram illustrating the invention wherein eight users vie for access to eight memory modules;
FIG. 2 illustrates word order in a horizontal memory addressing scheme;
FIG. 3 illustrates one of the eight priority unit: of FIG. I;
FIG. 4 illustrates the control system for the priority units of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 illustrates the general form of the priority output generator of FIG. 3',
FIG. 6 illustrates the flip-flop circuit which in FIG. 3 is shown in block form;
FIG. 7 is a time diagram for gating unit 73; and
FIG. 8 is a flow diagram of the priority logic of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. I, eight user units are shown at the left, unit 10 is a data channel unit which seeks access to memory modules Mil-M7. A peripheral processor unit (PPU) II also vies for access to memory with unit I0, with the central processor unit memory buffer I2 and central processor unit instruction processor 13. Additional users 14-17 also vie for access to memory.
In the system to be described herein, provision is made for selecting between a fixed priority between users Ill 17 and a distributed priority.
When on distributed priority, provision is made for shifting sequentially the order of priority among the users 10-17. This is accomplished by providing priority units 20-27. Each of the users I0-I7 is connected to each of the priority units 20-27 by way of a bus 28.
FIGS. 1 & Z-ADDRESSING In FIG. I it will be noted that one mode of addressing has been indicated, namely, vertical addressing. In vertical addressing, the words 0-N are entered seriatim in the memory modules Mil-M7, filling module M0 first, then module Ml, then module M2...Mn. Vertical addressing is generally preferred if reliability is the controlling factor. 0n the other hand, where speed is controlling, reliability is sometimes sacrificed in order to utilize horizontal addressing. Horizontal addressing is illustrated in FIG. 2 where words are stored with word 0 in the first address in memory M0, word I in the address No. l in memory Ml, word 2 in address No. l in memory M3 and so on.
The present invention is particularly useful in connection with systems utilizing horizontal addressing.
The priority logic provided by the present invention in a preferred embodiment is a unit of hardware forming a part of the control of an automatic data processing machine such as high speed digital computers. While the preferred embodiment of the invention is in the form of a wired module and, thus, is hardware, the control may also be replaced by software.
Priority logic is employed which selects the highest priority request from one of N fixed priority vies, each with a different starting point. In the example illustrated in FIG. I, there are eight users each seeking access to eight memory modules. If a control count, which will hereinafter be described, is zero, the winner of the fixed priority vie with the request ordered 0,l...7 is granted priority. If the count is one, the winner of the fixed priority vie with request ordered I,2...7, 0 is granted priority. This sequence is repeated throughout order 0-7. Each time any request obtains priority a counter is incremented. Provision is made for selecting between distributed priority and fixed priority, such that the logic immediately reverts to a straight fixed priority vie if distributed priority is not selected. Furthermore, provision is made for distributing the priority between the four users 10-13 in one mode of or for distributed priority among users "1- 17 in another mode.
Referring now to FIGS. 3 and 4. priority unit 27 has been illustrated in detail. As in FIG. I, the users Ill-I7 are illustrated at the left and the memory unit M0 is shown at the right. Users 10-17 are connected at their not or negation outputs to flip-flops 30-37, respectively, which also are provided with a gate in control line 38.
The true and false outputs of each of the flip flops 30-37 are connected on a one-to-one basis to the sixteen lines in a bus 39. The lines in bus 39 are then selectively connected to control logic so that on a given memory access request only one of the lines leading from output flip-flops 40-47 will be true, thus only one request for memory access units will be selected honored at a time through a given priority unit. A reply line 40a connects unit 40 to unit 10. Like reply lines, partially shown, are provided from each of units 41-47 to units 11-17. respectively.
The priority unit 27 comprises eight identical sets of logic with difierent input and output connections to the bus 39 and to the control bus 49. Because of circuit identity, only one of the eight sets of logic has been shown in detail in FIG. 3.
The set for the case where the ordered priority 0,1...7 has been utilized with the unit being shown. The unit includes eight NAND gates 50-57 and three output AND gates 58- -60 and one input AND gate 61.
Gate 60 is connected at its output to one input of flip-flop 47. The two inputs to AND gate 60 are connected to the outputs of AND gates 58 and 59. The four inputs of AND gate 58 are connected to the four outputs of NAND gates 50-53. Similarly, the four inputs of AND gate 59 are connected to the four outputs of NAND gates 54-57.
The NAND gate inputs are connected as follows: NAND gate 50 has five input lines connected to C( 051(5), 012(6), QR(7) and QR(0).
NAND gate 51 has four inputs connected to C05), QR(6), QR(7) and QR(0).
NAND gate 52 has three inputs connected to C(7). QR(7) and QR(O).
NAND gate 53 has two inputs connected to C(0) and NAND ate 54 has five inputs connected to C(l), QR(I). 6117?), 611(3) and the output of AND gate 61.
NAND gate 55 has four inputs connected to C(2), QR(Z), QR(S) and the output of AND gate 61.
NAND gate 56 has three inputs connected to C(3). QR(3) and the output of AND gate 61.
NAND gate 57 has two inputs connected to C(4) and the output of AND gate 61.
AND gate 61 has five inputs connected to QR(4). QR(S), Q d 011(0)- The connections between the logic unit, shown in general fonn in FIG. 5, and the busses 39 and 49 have been shown for one specific case in FIG. 3. The general case is shown in FIG. 5 which provides a key for the connection of the other seven units 21-27, FIG. 1.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a control system includes six main modules, a counter register 70, counter control logic 7], a decoder 72, and output gating unit 73 and a mode selector unit 74 and an external gate unit 105.
The counter register 70 includes three dual flip-flops 80, 87 and 88. It will be understood that if mode selector 74 is not used so that the distributed mode only is to be employed then simple flip-flops may be employed in place of dual units 80, 87 and 88. Dual flip-flop 80 includes AND gates 81 and 82, OR gate 83, NOR gate 84 and NAND gates 85 and 86. Flip-flops 87 and 88 are identical with gate 80. The gate elements are interconnected in the conventional manner illustrated and will not be further detailed.
The counter register is controlled on input lines which will be identified by states NC(0). NC(I) and NC(2) at the outputs from AND gates 90 and 91 and NAND gate 92, respectively. AND gate 90 is connected to the output of NAND gates 93, 94 and 95. AND gate 91 is connected to the outputs of NAND gates 96 and 97.
NAND gate 93 has three inputs, one of which is line QC((I) leading from NAND gate 100. The second input is connected to line QC(1) which interconnects the input of NAND gate 101 and the output of flip-flop 87. The third input is connected to line QC(2) which interconnects the input of NAND gate 102 and the output of flip-flop 88.
NAND gate 94 has two inputs, one connected to the line QC(0) and the other connected to the line QC( 1).
NAND gate 95 has two inputs, one connected to QC(0) and the other to QC(2).
NAND gate 96 has two in uts, one connected to QC( 1) and the other connected to QC( NAND gate 97 has two in uts, one connected to QC(2) and the other connected to QC( NAND gate 91 has only one input connected to QC( 2).
An external gate unit is connected to the second gate input of each of flip-flops 80. 87 and 88. AN An AND gate 106 is connected to the first gate input on each offlip-flops 80, 87 and 88. AND gate 106 is controlled by mode selector 74 which has a distributed mode enable line 108. The second input to AND gate 106 is a control signal RESET INREG appearing on line 152 leading from control unit 73. When line 108 is zero, the system operates in a fixed priority mode. When line 108 is true the counter register 70 will control the system as to operate in a distributed mode.
The second data input to each of flip-flops 80, 87 and 88 are connected to lines leading to an external manual control 75 so that the priority can be selected manually when in fixed priority mode by control states EXT(0), EXT(1) and EXT(2).
The outputs of counter register 70 are connected to the decoder unit 72. Unit 72 has an input comprising NAND gates 110,111 and 112 and AND gates 113, 114 and 115. One input to each of NAND gates and AND gate 113 is supplied by line QC(0), the second input being supplied from an eight units select line 116.
The single input to NAND gate 111 and AND gate 114 is supplied by line QC(1). Similarly, the single input to NAND gate 112 and AND gate 115 is supplied by line QC( 1).
The outputs of gates 110-115 are connected to the inputs of decoder AND gates -127 whose outputs form the bus 49.
More particularly. AND gate 120 is connected to gates 110. 111 and 112. AND gate 121 is connected to gates 110, 111 and 115. AND gate 122 is connected to gates 110, 114 and 112. AND gate 123 is connected to gates 110, 114 and 115. AND gate 124 is connected to gates 110, 113 and 112. AND gate 125 is connected to gates 113, 111 and 115. AND gate 126 is connected to gates 113, 114 and 112. AND gate 127 is connected to gates 113, 114 and 115.
The system of FIG. 3 thus far described, through the decoder 72 serves to step the priority order from [0,l...7] sequentially to [1,2...7,0], [2,3...l,0] [7,0...5,6]. A flow diagram for the priority logic unit is shown in FIG. 8, being appropriately labeled to the foregoing description. The logic. whether hardware or software implements the following logic equations.
The output gating unit 73 has three inputs and four outputs. The first input signal indicates whether or not the input register is occupied. This signal appears at the output of OR gate 140 which is fed by NAND gates I43 and 144. The NAND gates 143 and 144 are connected to the FALSE outputs of flip-flops 3037. The second input signal indicates whether or not a memory access cycle is complete. This signal appears on line 145 and is produced by the memory control unit of the computer (not shown). The third input signal indicates whether or not the output register is occupied. The latter signal appears on line 142 leading from an OR gate 1420 connected to the output of each of the flip-flops 40-47.
The first output line 38 from the gating unit 73 provides a GATE [NREG signal to open gates 3037. The second output appears on line I52. This signal RESET INREG serves to reset fliprflops 30-37.
The third output signal from unit 73 appearing on line 141 gates the output registers 40-47. The fourth output signal RESET OUTREG from unit 73 appears on line 151 and serves to reset the output registers 40-47.
The sequence of the signals to and from gating unit 73 is illustrated in FIG. 7. When an access request is made the state on line 38 changes from a FALSE to a TRUE state (from zero to one) as indicated at time 200. However, the line 145 in a TRUE state until time 201 indicates that the access request cannot be honored until time 201. The signal on line 142 is FALSE to time 201 and then becomes TRUE. In response to these signals, the signal on line 38 is the negation of the signal from OR gate 140. The signal on line 14! becomes TRUE at time 200 to gate the output registers 40-47. When the memory access cycle is complete, the signal on line 141 is returned FALSE and the input register is reset as by pulse 202 on line 152. The output register is reset by pulse 203 at time 204 and coincident therewith the memory access complete line 145 is made TRUE. At the termination of pulse 203 the output gate register line 141 goes TRUE and the output register occupied line becomes FALSE.
With the foregoing gating sequence there will be produced on only one of the output lines from flip-flops 40-47 a FALSE state indicating that one of the users has won in its vie for priority, thus enabling the memory unit M0 to respond to that user. If user has won then the state at the output of flipflop 40 will be TRUE and that voltage state will be signaled by way of reply line 40a to user 10 so that user it] may then release its memory request. Conversely, if user 37 wins the vie, then the state at the output of gate 47 is transmitted to user 17 sothat user 17 will release its memory request.
In operation, at time 200 FIG. 7, assume that a memory access request is signaled by one or more of units l0I7 by the appearance of a FALSE state on one or more of the output lines leading to gates 3037. Since the output register is occupied, the signal on line I52 is driven FALSE because the previous access is not complete until time 201. As a consequence of the appearance of the input access request, the output registers are gated TRUE at time 200 with the appearance of a TRUE state on line l4].
Upon the completion of the previous memory access at time 201, the state on line 145 returns to FALSE, whereupon the input register is reset at the trailing edge of pulse 202. In the interval of pulse 202 the counter register 70, operating in conjunction with the counter control logic 71 and decoder 72, supplies voltage states on lines 49 which are utilized along with the voltage states on line 39 by the priority unit 20 to produce a FALSE output of AND gate 60 (assuming that the fixed priority sequence is 0,1...7).
It will be noted that line I52 implementing reset of the input register is also shown in FIG. 4 and leads to AND gate 106 which serves to advance counter register 70 one count for each memory access cycle, thus, in the succeeding memory access cycle the fixed priority would be l,2...7, 0 and the output of AND gate 60 would be FALSE. One of the other users could then win the vie for priority simply because of the change in the output of the decoder 72 responsive to incre menting the count-in-count register 70.
We claim: 1. An automatic data processing computer having a plurality of users therein vying for access to a given element of said computer,
a. signal channels interconnecting all said users with said element; b. control units, one for enabling each of said signal channels; c. a logic unit for establishing a fixed priority sequence for access to said element; d. counter means for sequentially shitting the starting point in the of said logic unit; and e. means responsive to a signal bearing predetermined relation to completion of a previous requested access to said element for incrementing said counter to shift the priority one step in said sequence. 2.

News Section: Local Government
Candidate Profile: Manatee County Commission Dist. 4: Robin DiSabatino
Candidate: Robin DiSabatino
Party Affiliation: Republican
Born: Wilmington, DE
Lives: Bradenton
Education: Robin is a graduate from Mt. Pleasant High School in Wilmington, Delaware and a graduate with a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University Of Delaware in 1975. She also earned a Paralegal Degree from Wilmington College and has been a licensed realtor since 1986.
Occupation: Manatee County Commissioner
District 4 Manatee County Commissioner Robin DiSabatino is seeking a second term on the BOCC. While no Democrat has filed for the seat, she is opposed by Tim Norwood, whom she defeated in 2010, in this August's Republican primary.
As a former Realtor, many voters were concerned that DiSabatino would be just another pro-development vote, but the commissioner has shown she's not afraid to say no to developers when their requests don't seem to serve the best interests of county residents.
From the Long Bar Pointe development to the proposed indigent care sales tax, Commissioner DiSabatino has shown that she'll go against the grain to represent the interests and address the concerns of average citizens over powerful special interests and as a result, she's built a core of populist support that crosses both sides of the aisle.
DiSabatino says she's eager to continue her work and sees big challenges ahead including a successful transition from the county's Community Redevelopment Areas to one, larger Tax Incremental Financing district (which she opposed), where the struggling urban core does not continue to take a back seat to new development.

Dominic Ford features lots of gay pornstars including well-known performers like Spencer Reed, Matthew Rush, John Magnum, Cliff Jensen and dozens more. And while most are well-established, there's lots of new and emerging talent. Dominic Ford's tour and member's area are identical, so you see exactly what you're getting - there aren't any surprises. The site has made lots of improvements since we our last review in March 2010, so let's take another look.
Dominic Ford has two main sections: MOVIES, where you find the episodes, and MODELS, previewing the guys appearing on the site. The guys are generally good looking - they are pornstars after all - and their bodies range from slender and well defined to muscular. Most are in their twenties (some are a little more mature in their thirties) and the majority are fairly smooth.
Finding exactly what you like is pretty easy on Dominic Ford. At the top of each episode page you can use their category search to find movies displaying things like boyfriends, hairy guys, jocks, muscled guys, or European guys, to name a few. Then, you can sort results further by date or popularity. The "latest" and "popular" tabs also help filter your category searches and tags on every episode page also help. Free-form searching is missing and that would be helpful.
Of the 185 exclusive videos on Dominic Ford, 29 are solo scenes; the rest are hardcore duos. Dominic Ford is the first gay porn site to film in 3D (more about that later) but you can watch all movies in regular formats. Older releases are available in large (960x540 at around 2.1 Mbps), medium (640x360 @ 1.30 Mbps), and iPhone / iPod versions. Newer releases have dropped the "medium" version but offer a FULL HD version at 1920x1080 at 4 to 6.25 Mbps and an iPad version. Don't feel like downloading? Both standard and 3D videos are available as full scenes in streaming Flash playing at 960x520.
Now let me tell you about the 3D porn experience - it's cool. The 3D videos and pics really do pop and the models seem like they're right in front of you. After a minute of adjusting to the glasses, you really get into the action - those hard cocks look like they're close enough to suck and fucking is like you're between the guy's legs. 3D is a great technology for porn. The 128 3D movies are filmed using a 3D camera, not simply converted from 2D. And you only need a pair of 3D glasses, which Dominic Ford sends free with your membership - you don't need a special screen.
Photo galleries are a mix of digital pictures and 2D and 3D screen grabs available in thumbnail galleries or downloadable zips, but there are no hands-free slideshows. Older photos are small at 400x600; new photos are larger at 640x960 and scale to fit your browser window. If you save or download the pictures, you'll get full-sized versions. There are a dozen to 50+ pictures in each gallery and they're good amateur quality.
Another cool feature at Dominic Ford is that the most recent 125 episodes feature a graphic time line, so you can jump to a particular scene in the movie. Key activities like blowjobs, rimming, fucking, and cum shots are marked on the time line and the jumps are crisp and fast. No buffering!
All memberships to Dominic Ford include a pair of 3D glasses shipped by snail mail. One- and three-month memberships include a pair of standard glasses made from re-enforced cardboard, and a six-month membership gets you an extra premium pair of plastic glasses. You can also buy additional glasses for $3 to $10 on the site. But remember that every video is also available in non-3D versions so you can watch them until your glasses arrive.
A bonus offered on Dominic Ford is the complete two seasons of his reality show, "So You Think You Can Fuck", hosted by handsome bodybuilder Matthew Rush. SYTYCF follows standard reality television format like Big Brother, where contestants compete in challenges ranging from best stripping performance or best pool-sex scene, and lots of other twists and turns. Each episode whittles down the number of guys until there's one left and you help by voting. It's a fun series and available exclusively on the site.
Dominic Ford offers lots of hot hardcore sex and some jack-off action in exclusive, downloadable videos without DRM. The guys are a sexy who's who of gay porn, although there are some newbies, as well. All 185 videos can be watched in standard format, while 128 are available in 3D. The large videos are good quality HD Quicktime videos and there are smaller versions, as well - newer videos come in spectacularly large HD. Weekly Thursday updates happen like clockwork and navigation is a breeze. If you're looking for something really different and very hot, check out Dominic Ford. If you're not into 3D, don't worry, this site is on fire any way you want to look at it.

Nancy Pelosi is bent on bringing cap-and-trade to a vote in the House tomorrow. But conflicting reports suggest uncertainty as to whether the Democrats in fact have the votes. Roll Call reports:
With her flagship project and the strength of her leadership muscle on the line, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday launched a buzzer-beater: trying to sell skeptical members of her Caucus on sweeping climate change legislation before they break for the July Fourth recess.
But then she'd rather not have Al Gore coming to the Hill, she says, because she has this in the bag. Hmmm. Perhaps Gore isn't helpful in convincing Blue Dogs that this is a good idea. There are, after all, reasons to be nervous about signing onto a gigantic tax and regulatory measure. While a new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows support for cap-and-trade, that support has dropped and less than half would support it if it meant they would have to spend as little as $25 per month on higher electricity bills. And joining Warren Buffett, the Michigan Congressman John Dingell reminds us that cap-and-trade is a "big tax."
Well, perhaps Pelosi has convinced her fellow Democrats this is a good idea. As one House aide says, she may well get over the top by browbeating enough of her members. Besides, she wouldn't announce a vote without a firm whip count in hand, right? Actually, it wouldn't be the first time she did that.

New Somerset director of cricket Dave Nosworthy says he will not attempt to change too much at Taunton after agreeing to succeed Brian Rose.
South African Nosworthy, who is 45 on Christmas Day, has enjoyed success as coach with both the Titans and Lions in his homeland as well as with Canterbury Wizards in New Zealand.
A few small strategical changes and plenty of polishing will ensure we are on the right track. Dave Nosworthy
A few small strategical changes and plenty of polishing will ensure we are on the right track.
And he will link up with a couple of players he knows very well in new overseas signing Alviro Petersen and Alfonso Thomas.
There is also an abundance of English talent at the club, with established stars Marcus Trescothick and Peter Trego signing new deals recently and younger internationals Jos Buttler and Craig Kieswetter pushing for further honours.
"My first few months will be spent very much 'sponging' as much information about all the players, the staff, the structures and the whole culture of the club," Nosworthy said.
"I don't believe in trying to fix something that is not broken, and as such believe that a few small strategical changes and plenty of polishing will ensure we are on the right track.
"As we all know there is unfortunately no magical switch and I am by no means a magician who will be able to ensure that our trophy cabinet is full of silverware by the end of the season.
"We need to relieve the players of as much pressure as possible so that they are able to express themselves and play their natural games in an unshackled manner."
Somerset have been agonisingly close to trophies in recent years - in 2010 they finished runners-up in all three domestic competitions while they were beaten finalists in both 40-over and Twenty20 cups in 2011.
They are 1213.00 to claim a maiden County Championship pennant in 2013, while Nottinghamshire are 1213.00 and Warwickshire are 1213.00.

The following is certainly the most important message you will ever read in your life.
"The Gospel Of Jesus Christ"
The word 'gospel' means 'good news'. The bad news is that the human race has been condemned to hell for rebellion against God.
The Problem
The Lord God created man to glorify Himself and to have fellowship with Him forever, but because of the sin of Adam in Eden, the first man and his posterity became by nature, sinners against God. The power of sin has rendered us dead in terms of our ability to fulfill this primary purpose.
We are a lawless people having failed the test of His Ten Commandments. The Lord did not give us the Ten Commandments as a way back to Him, but as an opportunity for sin nature to operate, that we might conclude along with Him that we are lost and helpless, bound by the shackles of sin. (See Galatians 3:19‑25, Romans 3:19‑3 1)
Romans 3:10 "There is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned."
Isaiah 53:6 "All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
I John 1:8 "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."
The Result
The Bible, God's Word to us, teaches that the result of sin is spiritual, physical, and finally eternal death in the lake of fire. A dead person, you will agree, lacks the power to regain life. We could not prevent our dying, neither can we through our own efforts resurrect ourselves back to life.
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death"
James 1:15 "Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death"
Ephesians 2:1 "And you hath He quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins."
If we continue on this course, the final result is eternal death ‑ conscious torment forever in the lake of fire.
Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
Revelation 20:14-15 "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire."
The Remedy
In the book of Acts, chapter sixteen, the apostle Paul and his companion Silas were asked of their jailer, "What must I do to be saved?"
If you believe the foregoing Scriptures concerning your position with God, then your response should be the same. If we are lost in sin and headed for eternal death with no hope of saving ourselves, how then can we be saved?
God loves you so much that He placed your sin upon His Son, Jesus Christ, Who suffered the eternal penalty when He gave His life to be crucified on a cross.
You can appropriate this "gift" to your life by exercising simple faith. That is, you must claim by personal choice to rely exclusively upon Christ's finished work on the cross to be sufficient payment for your sins.
Paul's answer to the Philippian jailer was, "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved ‑ you and your household."
Romans 10:9 "...if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved."
Romans 4:5 " But to him that works not (for his salvation), but believes on Him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Repent, Believe, Receive
It is obvious from reading John 3:16 that although the price for sin has been paid for all, not all are saved from eternal death. There is a choice and decision to be made.
Recognising that I am a sinner, who has strayed away from God, I now turn in His direction. I repent of my self-willed, God-denying lifestyle.
I believe that Jesus Christ was crucified as an atonement for my sins, that the blood He shed on the cross is the only payment acceptable to God for my sins.
I receive Jesus Christ into my life as Lord and Saviour. By faith, I open the door to my heart and invite Jesus to enter.
New Life
If you have believed these Scriptural truths, made the honest decision to repent, believe and receive, then you have been 'Born Again'. As an act of obedience to your new Lord, you should be baptised (immersed) in water.
In I Peter 3:21, the apostle tells us that baptism is not the cleaning away of sin, but the answer of a good conscience toward God. If you were baptised as an infant, you did not have this good conscience which results from the righteous new nature you now possess. All you got from your infant baptism was ‑ wet!
At this point there is little sensitivity to this new birth, in the same way you have no memory of your physical birth. However, you now need to grow from spiritual infancy to adulthood.
Salvation is free. You did nothing to earn it. As Christ's substitutionary death removed the penalty of death, His resurrection provides you with the power of anew life, the seed of which has been planted in all those who are born of Him.
In addition, the Lord has come to live within you. (See Romans 6:4‑11, 1 Corinthians 2:9‑16, Ephesians 1: 13‑14, 3:16‑21, 2 Corinthians 3:17‑18)
As a spiritual infant, you need food upon which to grow in the Lord. Your sustenance is to be found in the Word of God, the Bible.
I Peter 2:2-3 "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby: If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious."
A Place To Grow
When people are born into the world as infants they are born into a family. Similarly, when people are born into the Kingdom of God, they are added to a spiritual family called the "Church".
The first century Greek word translated "church" in our Bibles is "ekklesia". It is formed of two Greek roots: "ek" (out of) and "kaleo" (to call). The Church is not a building, but the assembly of those whom God has called out of this sinful world to Himself! God has placed others in the Church with special gifts to minister to you and help you grow. He has given some of these gifts to you as well for the building of His Church. These gifts need to be nurtured, so you in turn can minister to others.
It is very important, if you have been Born Again, to find a Church in which you may grow. It must be an assembly that teaches the Bible, and teaches that Salvation is a gift by faith in Christ's death and resurrection.
If you have any questions about "The Gospel", please write and ask.

Mischa's 3D horror movie Apartment 1303 3D had its world premiere in Russia last week and actually seems to have done pretty well at the box office.
The movie opened in 9th position which would seem pretty low, but it was shown on fewer screens than many other releases. Its total of $685,189 was for the weekend of December 6th-9th inclusive showing on 402 screens with a per screen average of $1,704. Beauty & the Beast 3D opened just above Apartment 1303 3D with $698,984 but that was shown on 502 screens bringing its per screen average down to $1,344. I guess it's a bit unusual to compare a live action movie to an animated re-release, so let's move up the list to #6 where Lawless (starring Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain) opened to $791,898 on 650 screens making its average $1,218. Among other English-language releases, Here Comes the Boom (starring Kevin James and Salma Hayek) opened in fifth with a total of $1,198,034 across 460 screens ($2,604 average per screen) and Playing for Keeps opened in 2nd with $2,022,740 across 554 screens ($3,651 per screen). Although, Here Comes the Boom and Playing for Keeps opened much higher, these titles are backed by large studios and have had international press consisting of premieres and worldwide publicity. Considering Apartment 1303 3D is more or less an indie, I think we can call this opening a success thanks to a respectable per screen average – especially when you consider that it quite comfortably out-paced Lawless per screen.
Making Apartment 1303 3D's opening even better is if we go back to February 2011 when You and I also opened in Russia. That movie came in 7th but had a weekend total of $411,263 or just $827 per screen. You and I had the added benefit of being filmed in Russia, featuring a Russian band and was backed by a promotional visit including press and a premiere just before it was released. Apartment 1303 3D achieved over double the per screen average with just a trailer and TV spots as the main source (possibly only source?) of promotion.
It's a shame we don't have any box office

After leaving London but before arriving in New York (the New York photos are more recent which you can find below this post), Mischa stopped in Russia to attend some events for the Vladivostok International Film Festival. Here is the rundown:
– Mischa in Russia for the Vladivostok International Film Festival – Sep 10 and 11
These candids were grouped together in one album as I'm unsure of exactly which picture fits with which day. I believe the first photo on the page is from Mischa's arrival at the airport on Sept 10th while the others are all from Sept 11th.
– Q&A with Mischa at the Vladivostok International Film Festival
– Opening Ceremony of the 9th International Film Festival of the Asian-Pacific region "Pacific Meridian"
Photos of Mischa at the world premiere of You and I in Russia have been added.
Also, some additional shots of Mischa and DJ Ali out and about in Moscow have been uploaded.
Candids of Mischa and her boyfriend out and about in Moscow have been added.
ETA: Turns out Mischa only canceled her personal activities as the world premiere of You and I went ahead. Photos will be added shortly.
Candids of Mischa arriving at her hotel in Russia have been added. As anticipated, Mischa is in town to promote You and I.
If I'm understanding the Russian press correctly, apparently Mischa got a bit ill during the trip from the airport to her hotel. And she was stuck in traffic for over two hours!
Mischa visited Russia a couple of months ago and received some good press whilst there. Huge thanks to Katya from Eva Longoria.net.ru for sending in several of the publications Mischa was featured in.
– Yes! Russia
– L'Officiel Russia (also thanks to Mirik)
– Glamour (Russia)

We woke up bright and early for a morning shake out run around Seattle.. it was so fun to get to run with the others and chit chat and see some great sights! Plus… there were many a selfies taken. You know I know a good selfie.
We took some group shots at the fountain, which was our halfway point…
Don't they look like a fun group??
After some delicious Top Pot Donuts (which I am sad to say, that I am missing almost as much as my teammates), and a QUICK!! (I didn't even curl my hair, ya'll) shower, we hit up Brooks Running HQ, which they just moved to Seattle… so amazing to get to hear about how they find their target market, and how far ahead in production that they are. They also showed us some upcoming releases for Spring and lemme tell ya, I want them all.
These are terrible views atop Brooks HQ…. I mean, really. Who wants to look at this everyday?
After Brooks, Nuun was gracious enough to take us to Pyramid Brewing for a delicious lunch and of course, lots of beer. You want to know why this group are my people?? They love some craft beer… and also? Everyone that I asked let me taste whatever they were drinking. Keepers, I tell ya.
I highly enjoyed photobombing George's pictures, FYI. I stole this one from him.
After lunch, I found out that I have the best roomie in Melissa… I had made a comment about going into hairspray withdrawals, and girlfriend bought me a travel size of hairspray. She's a keeper too.
The group headed back to Pike Place after lunch and walked around.
I somehow convinced Sean to go exploring and find Escala with me… for those that don't know, Escala is a real place where the fictional character Christian Grey lives (we all know about 50 Shades of Grey, don't lie). I realize what a weirdo this makes me, but he only made fun of me the first time I mentioned it.
We headed over the NUUN HQ for some Chipotle and van decorating… and it was a complete pinch me moment to be IN Nuun HQ… I actually FaceTimed the girls and Addy was beyond ecstatic.
We somehow ended up at Jimmy's (the hotel bar) again, but luckily didn't shut the place down again. I had to grab a picture with my bed buddy, Susie. Fun fact! Susie is from England and I basically never wanted her to shut up. We actually had a van conversation about all the cute phrases she said.
Next up… the actual Hood to Coast race….

This is your opprotunity to learn to fly a heicopter in the UK.
You will have a pre-flight briefing with your instructor who will take you through a safety briefing. You'll then take to the skies and take the controls yourself and discover the absolute freedom of flying. Who knows this could be your first step towards getting a pilot's licence - your flying time counts towards a Private Pilot's Licence. Following your landing you'll have a short de-brief and a certificate presentation.
Minimum age varies from 12-18 according to venue. Participants under 18 require parental consent. The Robinson R22 helicopter has a maximum passenger weight of 17 stone. Some venues may require you to bring name and address and photo identification on the day for security reasons.
As with all flying experiences you will need to call a weather-check line on the day before, or on the morning of your flight. If the weather is unsuitable then you can reschedule your flight for another time.
Your helicopter flight time is from engines-on to engines-off and varies from 25 to 30 minutes, depending on location. This is as well as the 30 minute safety briefing before your flight.
Your experience will be on a one-to-one basis. The only people aboard your aircraft will be you and a fully qualified pilot. Your briefing is likely to be shared.
Spectators are welcome. We recommend bringing a camera or binoculars along.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing, as the cockpit can get warm. Sunglasses are recommended all year round.
Most centres operate seven days per week, subject to availability. Please note that weekends are particularly busy and should be booked at least four weeks in advance.
Aberdeenshire, Angus, Blackpool, Bristol, Cambridge, Coventry, Dorset, Essex, Guildford, Hampshire, Herefordshire, Leeds, Liverpool, Medway Towns, Milton Keynes, Northern Ireland, Northumberland, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Sheffield, Slough, Uxbridge, Watford, West Sussex, Wiltshire.
Flying time can count towards a Private Pilot's Licence. To qualify for a PPL you will need a minimum of 45 hours dual control of which at least 10 hours must be solo. Some centres fly craft other than the R22 and therefore may be able accept people of higher weights.

(d) The distribution for the mass of a barge train can be determined using existing traffic information
from OMNI or WBC. From data collected at various lock projects, the distribution for barge train mass is
generally dominated by single- or double-humped (camel-backed) distributions. The reason for this is that
at least one or two typical barge train configurations (e.g., 6 or 15 barges) exist in several navigation
systems. This distribution should also account for any anticipated future traffic changes. Generally, the
distribution for mass is the easiest one to determine.
(3) Hydrodynamic added mass.
(a) Forces due to the momentum of the water associated with the moving barge train are typically
included when developing impact forces. This phenomenon is known as hydrodynamic added mass and
would normally be considered in the transverse, longitudinal, and rotational directions. Equations to cal-
culate the added mass are based on traditional ship design techniques. Generally, the added mass for
barge trains has been assigned 40 percent in the longitudinal, 5 percent in the transverse, and 40 percent in
the rotational directions.
(b) It is important to recognize that the effect of hydrodynamic added mass is included in the mea-
sured force data used to develop the empirical relationship discussed in paragraph B-2. Therefore, the
mass term in the empirical correlation used in this ETL should include only the mass of the barge train.
(4) Drag and cushioning effects on barge trains. The drag force is the resisting force of water to the
momentum of the barge train, and it can be applied as a damping coefficient or percent damping in an
MDOF analysis. The drag force on a barge train is not significant in comparison to the magnitude of the
impact force. Cushioning forces between the barges and walls are usually not included, but may be
significant for broadside impacts. The effects of drag and cushioning forces were included in the
measured force data used to develop the empirical relationship discussed in paragraph B-2. Further
consideration of these forces is not necessary in the empirical model.
(5) Velocity components normal and parallel to the wall.
(a) Velocities for barge trains can be estimated using field and/or laboratory methods. Two com-
ponents of barge velocity (forward V0x and lateral V0y) should be determined for barge impact analysis.
These components are shown in Figure B-5. These components of the barge motion are combined to form
components normal and parallel to the rigid wall. Typically, the normal component is important since it
usually contributes to the primary force used for the wall design. The parallel component will be
important to structures that use end support piers to handle the shear load and for operating conditions
that cause a broadside impact of the barges against the lock wall.
(b) For flood events, the upper limit for velocities of barge trains approaching a lock can be based on
the velocities of the currents, the local flow regimes, or results from navigation models. During a major
flood event, navigation ceases for safety, which should be considered when selecting appropriate veloci-
ties for design. Outdraft or currents near open or ported approach walls should also be considered in
selecting velocities that are used for the impact analysis. For usual events, the maximum barge train
velocities can be estimated using average daily flow velocities of the currents adjusted for the ability of
the operator to control the barge train. For unusual events, the maximum velocity may be estimated using
daily flow velocities of the currents adjusted for local conditions, such as an outdraft, that challenge the
ability of the operator to control the barge train. For extreme events, the maximum velocity may be
estimated using flow velocities for river conditions approaching major flood stages that challenge the
ability of the operator to control the barge train.

Thousands of New Orleans school employees were wrongfully fired after Hurricane Katrina scattered the populations and shut down the city and its schools, a Louisiana judge ruled Wednesday.
Judge Ethel Simms Julien awarded more than $1 million to seven people who filed the class-action suit against the New Orleans school board and the state. Her decision cleared the way for more damages to be awarded to an estimated 7,000 others in future proceedings.
It was not immediately clear whether the defendants — including the Orleans Parish School Board, the state Department of Education and the state itself — would appeal. An attorney for the school board said he would discuss the matter with his client. The state Attorney General's Office said it would consult with lawyers the state hired for the case.
The ruling comes almost seven years after levee breaches during the storm caused 80 percent of the city to flood.
