Little library offers neighborly reading
HUNTINGTON -- Ava Bicknell and Jayda Bostic have such a love for reading that they wanted to share their passion with their neighbors.
About three weeks ago, the grandmother-granddaughter team put a painted, wooden box on a post in the side yard of Bicknell's home at 1202 12th St. on Huntington's Southside. The box, also known as a Little Free Library, is a bit larger than a doll house and lets residents share their favorite books.
"We rarely see or talk to our neighbors on a daily basis," says Bostic, a seventh-grader at Huntington St. Joseph Grade School. "Reading is such a common interest that we thought it could bring people in the neighborhood closer together."
Bicknell and Bostic built the miniature library, painted to look like a bistro, with a little help from employees at Savannah's restaurant, which Bicknell owns. Most of the materials were recycled from a neighbor's discarded trash, inserts from wine boxes and some old paint that Bicknell had at her house.
Bicknell and Bostic, both of whom prefer a good mystery or science fiction novel, have made sure the box is stocked with a wide range of books and magazines.
"I subscribe to so many food magazines that I hoard them, as my husband tells me," Bicknell said. "I used to take them to the doctor's office with me and left them in the waiting room. Now, I can just walk to the sidewalk and put them in the library. I like to keep the box full, so I check it every day."
Neighbors who have borrowed books from the Little Free Library are starting to replenish it with favorites of their own. Children's books and anything written by a local author appear to be hot commodities, Bicknell and Bostic said.
Bicknell decided to build a Little Free Library about nine months ago when she read a newspaper article about the worldwide phenomenon. The book-sharing movement was started in 2010 by Tod Bol in Hudson, Wis. Bol and his helpers set out with a mission to see at least 2,510 Little Free Libraries established around the world. That was the target because it would exceed the number of libraries built by Andrew Carnegie.
Bol's group, now a nonprofit organization, estimates that there are between 5,000 and 6,000 Little Free Libraries in 36 countries and that more than 1.6 million books were donated and borrowed since its inception, according to littlefreelibrary.org.
The founders of Little Free Library stress on their website that their initiative is meant to enhance, not replace, the traditional public library as government spending for literacy programs is reduced.
The website also provides a map that pinpoints the locations for Little Free Libraries across the globe. The Little Free Library on 12th Street is the third location in West Virginia, according to the map. The other locations are in Charleston and in Paden City.
Bicknell paid a $35 fee to have the library listed on the map. She and Bostic said they hope their efforts will inspire others in Huntington to start their own Little Free Library.

A legal technicality has brought a village solicitor's contract back for review before Oak Harbor Village Council.
Council approved the two-year contract with Kocher & Gillum law firm of Port Clinton on June 2 after a heated discussion.

Obama Budget Pushes Sweeping Change
$3.6 Trillion Plan Would Raise Taxes Sharply on the Affluent, Open Battles on Health, Education; The 'Trickle Up' Agenda
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama delivered a $3.6 trillion budget blueprint to Congress Thursday that aims to "break from a troubled past," with expanded government activism, tax increases on affluent families and businesses, and spending cuts targeted at those he says profited from "an era of profound irresponsibility."
The budget blueprint for fiscal year 2010 is one of the most ambitious policy prescriptions in decades, a reordering of the federal government to provide national health care, shift the energy economy away from oil and gas, and boost the federal commitment to education.
One war would end, as troops leave Iraq, while another would ramp up in Afghanistan. To fund it all, families earning over $250,000 and a variety of businesses will pay a steep price, but Mr. Obama implored Americans to own up to the mistakes of the past while accepting profound sacrifices.
"We need to be honest with ourselves about what costs are being racked up, because that's how we'll come to grips with the hard choices that lie ahead," Mr. Obama said Thursday morning. "And there are some hard choices that lie ahead."
The president blamed the nation's economic travails on the administration that preceded him and on a nation that lost its bearings. His budget plan projects a federal deficit of $1.75 trillion for 2009, or 12.3% of the gross domestic product, a level not seen since 1942 as the U.S. plunged into World War II.
"This crisis is neither the result of a normal turn of the business cycle nor an accident of history," the president states in an opening message of the 134-page document. "We arrived at this point as a result of an era of profound irresponsibility that engulfed both private and public institutions from some of our largest companies' executive suites to the seats of power in Washington, D.C."
By 2013, the deficit would drop to $533 billion but begin to climb from there again as the heart of the Baby Boom begins drawing Social Security and Medicare benefits.
The budget's introduction is likely to herald one of the fiercest political fights Washington has seen in years, waged on multiple fronts. Within minutes, Republicans were lambasting a document they called class warfare, designed to mire the nation in recession for years to come. Business lobbyists were girding for battle even before the budget's unveiling. Even Democrats are likely to blanch at cuts to agriculture and other programs that have been tried before – and have failed repeatedly.
The budget sets aside an additional $250 billion to complete the president's effort to rescue the financial markets and stabilize the banking sector. That would come on top of the $700 billion already allocated by Congress. And it is likely to grow. The budget makes clear that the reserve would be used to leverage the purchase of toxic assets weighing down the banking sector's books, $750 billion in asset purchases overall. That could mean a doubling of the original bailout in the end.
The Obama Budget
- Intro: 'Renewing America's Promise'
- Full Budget Blueprint (144 pages)
- Discuss: How would you vote on Obama's proposed budget?
- Pentagon: Budget to Rise Modestly
- Justice: Funds to Hire Police Grow
- SEC: May Get 13% Funding Increase
- Homeland: Web, Border Are Priorities
- More: SEC, Labor, Veterans, Transportation
Mr. Obama proposes large increases in education funding, including indexing Pell Grants for higher education to inflation and converting the popular scholarship to an automatic "entitlement" program. High-speed rail would gain a $1 billion-a-year grant program, part of a larger effort to boost infrastructure spending even beyond the funds in his $787 billion stimulus plan.
The Defense Department would see a $20.4 billion boost in 2010, a 4% increase from this year, slowing its growth from the Bush years but securing personnel increases for the Army and Marine Corps. Mr. Obama will request an additional $75.5 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for the rest of 2009 and another $130 billion for 2010, as he withdraws most combat troops from Iraq over 19 months but sends many of them to Afghanistan.
In one of the budget's most ambitious proposals, the president plans to cap the emissions of greenhouse gases, forcing polluters to purchase permits for emissions that would be slowly brought down to 14% below 2005 levels by 2020 and 83% below 2005 levels by 2050. The sale of those permits, beginning in 2012, would reap $646 billion through 2019. Of those revenues, $525.7 billion would be devoted to extending Mr. Obama's signature "Making Work Pay" $800 tax credit for working couples. Another $120 billion would go to clean energy technology.
He acknowledged his $630 billion fund for a national health insurance program will not be enough to ensure access to health care for all Americans, but he said it will be a start.
To finance his proposals, the president has clearly chosen winners and losers -- with the affluent heading the list of losers. In populist tones that reflect an anger he notably avoided on the campaign trail, Mr. Obama wrote, "Prudent investments in education, clean energy, health care, and infrastructure were sacrificed for huge tax cuts for the wealthy and well-connected. In the face of these trade-offs, Washington has ignored the squeeze on middle-class families that is making it harder for them to get ahead… There's nothing wrong with making money, but there is something wrong when we allow the playing field to be tilted so far in the favor of so few."
In that sense, the budget is payback. As expected, taxes will rise for singles earning $200,000 and couples earning $250,000, beginning in 2011 -- for a total windfall of $656 billion over 10 years. Income tax hikes would raise $339 billion alone. Limits on personal exemptions and itemized deductions would bring in another $180 billion. Higher capital gains rates would bring in $118 billion. The estate tax, scheduled to be repealed next year, would instead be preserved, with the value of estates over $3.5 million -- $7 million for couples -- taxed at 45%.
Businesses would be hit, too. The budget envisions reaping $210 billion over the next decade by limiting the ability of U.S.-based multinational companies to shield overseas profits from taxation. Another $24 billion would come from hedge fund and private equity managers, whose income would be taxed at income tax rates, not capital gains rates. Oil and gas companies would be hit particularly hard, with the repeal of multiple tax credits and deductions.
The federal government would take over most student lending. Managed care companies would lose their subsidies for offering Medicare plans. Farmers with operating incomes over $500,000 would see their farm subsidies phased out. And cotton storage would no longer be financed by the federal government.
"There are times where you can afford to redecorate your house, and there are times where you need to focus on rebuilding its foundation," Mr. Obama said as he unveiled his plan. "Today we have to focus on foundations."

Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures
Campus Safety
The Emergency Management Coordinator is responsible for the Emergency Operations Plan (EOP). This plan is designed to be an all-hazards disaster response and emergency management plan that includes planning, mitigation, response, and recovery actions.
Our priorities are:
Information regarding ECSU's emergency response procedures is located at http://www.ecsu.edu/students/studentaffairs/env_health_safety/procedures1.cfm
Annually, ECSU conducts an emergency management exercise to test emergency procedures. The scenarios for these exercises change from year-to-year, and include several University departments.
To ensure the ECSU's emergency operation plans remain current and actionable, the University will conduct an emergency management exercise, once a year. These exercises may include tabletop drills, emergency operations center exercises, or full-scale emergency response exercises. The University conducts after-action reviews of all emergency management exercises.
In conjunction with at least one emergency management exercise each year, ECSU will notify the community of the exercise and remind the community of the information included in the University's publicly available information regarding emergency response procedures. Dates and other information regarding evacuation procedure can be found at http://www.ecsu.edu/students/studentaffairs/env_health_safety/ent.cfm
ECSU is committed to ensuring the campus community receives timely, accurate, and useful information in the event of a significant emergency or dangerous situation on campus or in the local area that poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of campus community members. ECSU uses the emergency notification system (PIER) to send mass notifications via email, text message, and streaming emergency notifications for the ECSU webpage. The PIER System is an emergency notification service available to students, staff, and anyone in the University community who wants to subscribe. PIER can be used to send emergency messages within minutes of the occurrence of an incident. Alerts sent by PIER are simulcast to the University community via our alert webpage at http://www.ecsu.edu/ecsualert/index.cfm, ECSU's Facebook page, Twitter, or at the subscriber's choice, their e-mail account. ECSU performs a University-wide annual test of the system. The following procedures outline the process the University uses when issuing emergency notifications
University Police and/or other campus first responders may become aware of a critical incident or other emergency situation that potentially affects the health and/or safety of the campus community. Generally, campus first responders become aware of these situations when they are reported to the University Police Communications Center or upon discovery during patrol or other assignments.
Once first responders confirm that there is, in fact, an emergency or dangerous situation that poses an immediate threat to the health or safety of some or all members of the campus community, first responders will notify supervisors at University Police to issue an emergency notification.
ECSU's authorized representatives will immediately initiate all or some portions of the University's emergency notification system. If, in the professional judgment of first responders, issuing a notification potentially compromises efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency, ECSU may elect to delay issuing an emergency notification. As soon as the condition that may compromise efforts is no longer present, the University will issue the emergency notification to the campus community.
ECSU and/or local first responders on the scene of a critical incident or dangerous situation will assist those preparing the emergency notification with determining what segment or segments of the University community should receive the notification. Generally, campus community members in the immediate area of the dangerous situation (i.e. the building, adjacent buildings, or surrounding area) will receive the emergency notification first. The University may issue subsequent notifications to a wider group of community members. In addition to the emergency notification that may be issued via the ECSU'S PIER notification system, the University will also post applicable messages about the dangerous condition on the University webpage on the ECSU Alert webpage to ensure the rest of the campus is aware of the situation and the steps they should take to maintain personal and campus safety. If the emergency affects a significant portion of the entire campus, University officials will distribute the notification to the entire campus community.
University Police, in concert with University Relations & Marketing and local first responders, is responsible for issuing the emergency notification and will determine the contents of the notification. The University has developed a wide range of template messages addressing several different emergency situations. The individual authorizing the alert will select the template message most appropriate to the on-going situation and modify it to address the specifics of the present incident. In those cases where there are no pre-determined template messages in the system, the individual authorizing the alert will develop the most succinct message to convey the appropriate information to the community. The goal is to ensure individuals are aware of the situation and that they know the steps to take to safeguard their personal and community safety.
In the event of a situation that poses an immediate threat to members of the campus community, the University has various methods in place for communicating information quickly. Some or all of these methods of communication may be activated in the event of an emergency to all or a segment of campus community. These methods of communication include the ECSU Alert e-mail system, text message, ECSU Alert webpage messages and the campus siren. The University will post important updates during critical incidents on the ECSU homepage. If the situation warrants, the University will establish a telephone call-in center to communicate with the University community during an emergency situation.
All campus members should register their mobile phone number using their personal log-in information on the Banner webpage at https://ssbprod11g.ecsu.edu/pls/ECSUPROD/twbkwbis.P_WWWLogin.
To register for mobile phone emergency notifications, enter your User ID and PIN into the banner webpage. Click on the "Personal Information" tab and then click on the "Update Addresses and Phones" link. Under the "Phones" heading, click on the "Primary" link to register your mobile phone number. Scroll to the bottom of the webpage and enter your information under the "Phone Type" heading. By registering your mobile phone number, you will receive an "ECSU ALERT" text message when you need to be notified of a campus emergency or serious incident. Community members are encouraged to check the ECSU homepage and ECSU Alert page for updates regarding serious events that affect campus. Community members are encouraged to check the ECSU homepage and ECSU Alert page for updates regarding serious events that affect campus.

Guitar-pickin' martyr Luther Wright is done with rebuilding The Wall, but his bluegrass instrumentality might make him the man of your dreams.
Bluegrass frontman Wright gathers new gang of Wrongs
Sometimes, a band or an artist so successfully or so uniquely covers someone else's work that the cover song becomes an inherent part of their canon and is identified with them for the length of their career. In Luther Wright's case, though, it wasn't just a single song, but an entire album — a double LP, in fact. At the end of the 20th century, the affable former Weeping Tile guitarist made a startling discovery: Pink Floyd's The Wall was in fact, at its heart, a bluegrass album. Luther Wright and the Wrong's 2001 thesis, Rebuilding the Wall, conclusively hammered home the point. It was both ambitious and audacious, and it attracted a fair bit of attention.
"We went from obscure to relatively known — we shot up to vaguely recognized," Wright acknowledges with typical dry humour. "It doesn't seem to have held me back. Now, it's one of a bunch of records, but it doesn't really have a life expectancy, because it was already a cover of an album that was 20 years old. It comes around. It's rare that we pull out more than a couple of songs. There are so many harmonies and bits and instrumentation parts."
The radical reworking, a concept album about a concept album, got the thumbs up from both Pink and Floyd (OK, Roger Waters and David Gilmour); Bob Ezrin, the producer of the original Wall, sent Wright an enthusiastic email. Rebuilding the Wall was Wright's third album and there have been three more since, including last year's critically acclaimed The Man of Your Dreams, all furthering Wright's unique style, described by roots authority No Depression as "Tunes that split the difference between irreverence and country's traditions, a balancing act pulled off with panache." Wright counters: "I'm very happy being recognized for not being a complete smart-ass."
For the past five years or so, the Wrongs have become more of a fluid collective. "Once you're in, you're never out, so everybody that's ever played in the band still sort of plays from time to time," Wright explains while on his way to Guelph, for the first of a 26-show tour. This time out, he's touring with New York's Jack Grace Band, which, conveniently, doubles up as the new Wrongs. Wright and the band have been helping to grow each other's audiences on both sides of the border.
"We've been hooked up for a couple of years, booking each other back and forth," Wright says. "We're North-Americanizing the indie country roots."
By the time the bands hit Calgary, they should be hitting their stride, hosting the Ship jam in the afternoon and laying claim to the new Ironwood in the evening. Wright figures they have more than enough tunes to play three sets without repeating themselves — this summer, he plans to head into the studio with The Jack Grace Band and whichever Wrongs are available to record his seventh disc, which will include covers of songs by his friends, like Carolyn Mark, Shuyler Jansen and Hank and Lilly. Still, Wright doesn't see any high concept in the immediate future
"It was such a specific thing," he says. "It wasn't like, 'Let's do a concept record!' It was like, 'Hey, The Wall's a bluegrass record, we should do this,' and then we're such a bunch of cocky smart-asses, we talked about it and decided to make it a reality. I do like the idea of concept records and I actually consider my last couple albums somewhat conceptual, you know, the concept of heartache."
Would he ever consider another such mega-project?
"We're probably too lazy," he says. "It would have to be pretty inspiring. It's a lot of work."

Multi-Select Checkbox-List Tweet
A multiple select-list with Checkboxes
This multi-select list is an easy-to-use solution for special Filter-Items in Reports.
New Features (V1.0.3)
Cascading LOV Feature now available
The cascading LOV Feature is now available.
Pre-Search Option available
The Pre-Search Option means an additional Filter-Item to filter the visible values.
or if you use IDs:
To handle such value string please have a look below to the requirements section.
The List of return-values should not be greater than 4000 characters. Reason is the 4000 character limitation of Oracle VARCHAR2 Objects in APEX.
The download file includes the old Release 1.0 and the current Release 1.0.3 with the Cascading LOV Feature and the Pre-Search Option.
Special Requirements
There are no requirements for this Plugin.
But multi-select-lists like this return multiple values. Such multiple value strings must be handled.

sorry for the delay.
Well, enabling pre-search-option is very simple.
Please go to Plugin-Item Page and look for the property "Enable Pre-Search Option" and set the value to "Yes".
That's it.
I should be able to search for the checkbox values starting with string entered in the textbox.
If I type 'A' in the textbox.. It should return only the values starting with A. (Analyst)
Please let me know how to achieve this.
which version of IE are you using? I check it out with IE9 and it works fine. I know, that older IE-Releases had a lot of problems with HTML-Standards and some JS-Functions. So I recommend to use newer releases of IE.
Kind regards
thank you for you feedback.
Please have a look at my demo. You'll see that the MSCB-Listitem "Manager" doesn't have a pane below the All-Selector (for a better understanding: this pane is an item to filter the content of your list-values!)..
OK, at my demo page please look for the explanation of "Enabling Pre-Search Option". With this option you can enable/disable this pane.
If you want to change this label, create a dynamic action for Event "Page Load". Create a TRUE-Action on "Execute JavaScript Code" and Code like this:
$('#fs_YOUR_ITEM_NAME > label').text("New Label");
That's it.
To change css and HTML go to Apex Builder - your MSCB-Item and have a look at the section "Settings". There you'll find some options to control the styles of your MSCB-Item.
If you want to change the HTML you should use JQuery to change it.
How it helps.
Thanks for the plugin ,it solved our application issue ,it is very useful to us.I just translate this Label of 'Alle' to Englishi version 'Select All'
there still one thing I need rewrite this plugin .to delete the pane under Select All ,if you can proved me how to change some css/html at this plugin ,that will be great .
kindly wish you reply me, I will sent you the details issue .
I was wondering where I could find an English version of the terms of use.
I'm not sure if I have the right understanding of your problem.
Please have a look at my demo once more. I've created 2 new Items that shows the return values of Manager- and Job-Filter and it works fine. After you select or de-select Managers or Jobs you have to press "Apply Filter" to see the new value.
Another way is to check session-values for this items with the apex-dev-toolbar - press "Session" and check the session values.
Or set DEBUG-Mode to YES. This renders additional Buttons for every Checkbox Item called "Get checkbox values". If you press this button an alert will show you the return value of you multi-CB Item.
Please try this and let me know if everything's ok.
Good luck.

State lawmakers introduced 12 bills during this past legislative session to try to address the deadly and consistent violence against women in every corner of the Palmetto State.
By the time the legislative session ended in June, all but one of the domestic violence bills had died in committee.
The lone exception: a measure approved by the Legislature in early June and signed into law by Gov. Nikki Haley. It provides for court-ordered protection for the pets of the victims of domestic violence.
Bakari Sellers, the Democratic House member from Denmark, said the Legislature's failure to pass any of the bills to protect domestic abuse victims, yet pass one to protect their pets, offers a sad commentary.
"When you say it like that, it's laughable. Then you have to stop and say, 'You know it's not funny.' A woman dying: It supersedes all politics, but it apparently doesn't supersede ignorance."
The Legislature's inaction on the issue is just one part of perhaps the Palmetto State's most notorious ranking: No. 1 in the country in violence against women.
The Post and Courier's seven-part series by Doug Pardue, Glenn Smith, Jennifer Berry Hawes and Natalie Caula Hauff on domestic violence, 'Till death do us part, runs in print through Sunday and is available in whole online. We'd say it's a must read for any resident of South Carolina.
A look at the series:
WEDNESDAY: South Carolina's top officials and lawmakers express shock and concern over the state's rank as the most deadly in the nation for women, yet little is being done to stem the death toll that is more than double the national rate.
THURSDAY: State lawmakers had an opportunity during the last legislative session to tackle the problem, yet 12 bills to do something died.
FRIDAY: Some of the deep-seated beliefs of South Carolinians, including religion and tradition, foster the state's No. 1 status in the rate of women killed by men in domestic violence.
SATURDAY: Numerous public and private organizations - from police and courts to women's shelters and religious groups - deal with domestic violence across South Carolina, yet effective coordination and cooperation remains almost non-existent.
SUNDAY: Possible solutions to help reduce the violence and the death toll.

"Nice saddle"
The Good: Light, quality construction
The Bad: kinda pricey, but good deals can be found online
SDG's Ti Fly has titanium rails and thin padding to keep the weight to a minimum. I scored a good deal on one and put it on the dh bike where it works great. It is small/thin enough to not be in the way when moving around yet it feels solid when you need it to give the bike a little input with your legs. The saddle has been through a few crashes and the sides have held up well considering I got version with the nylon weave sides that are a bit tougher than a regular fabric.
I've used SDG saddles in the past and am a fan of the Bel-Air for trail riding where you spend a bit more time sitting down. Also the I beam is a really cool technology but I'm glad that SDG makes a railed version of their products.
Overall, the saddle is nice and great for something lightweight and minimal. Not the most comfortable thing for me to sit on for an extended time but that's all personal preference anyway. Despite being more money than I normally spend on a seat, I'd get it again.

There was no way Elizabeth Warren was ever going to be the permanent director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The banks didn't want her. Bloomberg:
President Barack Obama has chosen a candidate other than Elizabeth Warren as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a person briefed on the matter.
The bureau's director requires confirmation by the Senate. After 44 Republican senators announced in May that they wouldn't vote to approve any candidate to run the bureau without changes in its structure, analysts said the White House might have to resort to a temporary appointment during a congressional recess.
Everybody knew the Republicans wouldn't vote for Warren from the outset. Obama could have appointed her as the director when the agency was created, so the "60 vote" excuse was a charade. Remember the reasons given by the White House at the time to explain why he didn't?
The concern stressed by officials in the White House is that Warren would not be allowed to be the public face of the agency or to testify before Congress if under the virtual cone of silence of a Presidential nominee. This allows the agency to begin without delay. But down the road, she could still serve in the interim capacity while nominated for the position, and that's frankly where this can go.
Of course the only thing "down the road" was the can that the President likes to kick in his favorite metaphor. It allowed him to give her the boot when things had cooled down a bit, and the issue was out of the headlines. From a political perspective, now is a smart time to do it, because the debt ceiling battle will consume everything in its wake.
And so Elizabeth Warren's tenure at the CFPB ends in a Friday night news dump.
The bright side (if there is a bright side) is that Warren will be able to speak more freely if she's not the head of the agency, and we could use some adults in the conversation right now. A giant manufactured debt ceiling crisis is being used to force Shock Doctrine austerity on the country. I hope somebody will ask her how she'd handle things if she was President.
What do you think Elizabeth Warren would do about the debt ceiling showdown if she was in Obama's shoes right now?
Update: Dday has more: The agency transfers to the Fed on July 21, and without a Director at the helm, it loses the ability to regulate non-bank financial institutions like payday lenders and mortgage brokers." Since the GOP probably won't approve anyone for the position, the only hope would have been for Obama to make a recess appointment. Looks like the banks will get what they want.

U.N. Ambassador on Russia, China Veto of Syria Vote: 'Dangerous and Deplorable'
1:06 PM, Jul 19, 2012 • By DANIEL HALPER
As CNN reported, "Russia and China vetoed a new U.N. Security Council resolution Thursday that would have imposed new sanctions on the Syrian regime."
Now, the American ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, has responded, calling the actions taken by China and Russia "dangerous and deplorable." Rice made her comments on Twitter:
Interestingly, President Obama called Russian president Vladimir Putin yesterday to discuss Syria. "President Obama called Russian President Putin today to discuss the developing situation in Syria," the White House readout of the call between the American and Russian leader reads. "The two Presidents noted the growing violence in Syria and agreed on the need to support a political transition as soon as possible that achieves our shared goal of ending the violence and avoiding a further deterioration of the situation. They noted the differences our governments have had on Syria, but agreed to have their teams continue to work toward a solution. President Obama also took the opportunity to express condolences on the tragic loss of life resulting from flooding in southern Russia earlier this month and reiterated the U.S. readiness to provide assistance if needed."
But Obama was clearly not able to convince Putin not to veto today's U.N. vote.

A Food Revolution Day To Fight Prostate Cancer!
On Food Revolution Day I ask others to reflect on the food we eat and what it's doing to our bodies. Is the food we're putting in our mouths a concoction of processed "food" designed with addictive chemicals by food scientists, or is it good wholesome food, and you know how it's made, where it comes from and that it has no chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or larvicides?

KATHMANDU, NOV 13 - The second day of Yamapanchak arrived with much fanfare as the goddess of wealth, Laxmi, was worshipped across the country with bright lights and festive decorations. Hindus welcomed Laxmi on the second day of Tihar, the festival of lights and prosperity, wishing prosperity for families and friends.
On Laxmi puja, the nooks and crannies of the home are lit up with colourful, decorative lights in the evening, in the belief that goddess Laxmi will not visit homes that are not properly illuminated.
Cultural programmes like deusi and bhailo were held across the country, with people offering songs and dances in return for blessings and money. Kukur Tihar, the day where dogs are worshipped, was also celebrated on Tuesday morning with dogs being offered garlands and food. Dogs are considered messengers of the death god, Yama.
The five-day festival will continue with Goru Tihar on Wednesday and wrap up on Thursday with Bhai Tika.

the Iraqi troops have taken over security for many of the rebellious Sunni Arab
areas in the last year, American combat engineers have been assigned to go in
and clear out the worst infestations of IEDs in areas controlled by Iraqi
troops. The terrorists, taking advantage of the Iraqi army shortage of combat
engineers, have planted thousands of IEDs. In some areas, there are 3-4 per
kilometer of road. The Iraqi army simply hasn't got enough EOD teams to handle
American engineers will come in, clear out the worst infestations, then teach
the Iraqi troops techniques for keeping the roads free of the bombs. This is
usually something as simple as some watch towers and night vision devices. If
the Iraqis man those towers 24/7, the terrorists won't be able to plant bombs.
Americans like having some Iraqi troops going out with the engineers. The
Americans know that, sometimes, the terrorists will pay civilians to sort of
wander past the U.S. engineers, trying to spot techniques being used to clear
the bombs. This makes it possible for the terrorists to build bombs that are
more difficult to clear. But with some Iraqi troops along, these spies can not
only be more readily shooed away, but sometimes identified and arrested.
some Iraqi engineers will be equipped with the Cougars and all the high-tech
(and expensive) gear that goes inside them. With this gear, roads with lots of
IEDs can be cleared at a rate of 500-1,000 meters a day, with little risk of
friendly casualties. Using just EOD teams, it would take as long, or longer,
and you would lose people.

It's been almost two months since South Carolina Stingrays captain Kevin Quick has stepped on the ice.
Elmira Jackals vs. South Carolina Stingrays
When: Tuesday, 6 p.m.
Where: North Charleston Coliseum
Records: Elmira 9-15-3 (21 points); Stingrays 21-5-3 (45 points)
Tickets: 744-2248
Quick broke his leg during a game with the Greenville Road Warriors on Nov. 7 and has been out of the lineup ever since.
Quick, who hopes to have his cast removed next week, is scheduled to return to the lineup sometime in February.
Quick just hopes that Stingrays head coach Spencer Carbery still has a spot for him when he's healthy enough to play.
The Stingrays will take on Elmira on Tuesday night at a special New Year's Eve time of 6 p.m. at the North Charleston Coliseum.
Despite having 11 players called up to the American Hockey League and three, including Quick, on the injured list, the Stingrays have continued to stack up win after win. The Stingrays have the best record in the ECHL at 21-5-3.
"It's been amazing to watch the guys play the last month," Quick said. "It doesn't seem to matter who we have in the lineup, everyone is buying into the system and playing at a really high level."
Maybe too high, Quick joked.
"Hopefully, they've got a spot for me when I get back," Quick said with a chuckle. "The way everyone's been playing, I might not be good enough."
All joking aside, things got so bad before Saturday's game with Wheeling, Carbery had to bring in Dave Jarman and Bryson Busniuk for emergency duty. Neither had played in a professional game in more than three seasons. Still, the Stingrays won, shutting out the Nailers, 3-0. The Stingrays have shrugged off all the call-ups and injuries and have continued to win at a torrid pace, going 7-3-0 during the month of December despite having six of their top seven scorers out of the lineup for most of that time.
"Some teams use it as an excuse not to win," said Stingrays goalie Jeff Jakaitis. "I honestly think we have thrived on it. The guys we have in this locker room use it as a challenge. The standards on the ice haven't changed. We still expect to win."
Carbery said teams can get caught up in which player is being called up or who is out of the lineup with an injury.
"You can wrap yourself up with all the negatives," Carbery said. "I've been on teams and guys are in the locker room talking about who is up and how long they're going to be gone before they come back. That's counterproductive. I've been really impressed with everyone's maturity. We've got a lot of young guys who don't know what it's like playing at the professional level. They seem to be taking it all in stride."
Carbery doesn't expect any of the players currently in the AHL to return for Tuesday's game with Elmira. He's hoping that Lindsay Sparks, who has a bruised ankle, will be ready by the weekend.
Carbery signed forward Steve Mele from the Columbus Cottonmouths of the Southern Professional Hockey League on Monday morning. Mele, 25, is third on the Cottonmouths with 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) in 10 games this season.

More Pictures
A few more pictures of some of the rooms in this place.
Now, I know it's not what you expect from a mansion. There are no garishly large televisions (says the girl who owns a garishly large television). There are no in-your-face-elements or overwhelmingly poor choices in modern design. There is nothing that shouts money money money anywhere in this place (unless you're looking very hard). There is however, a slight sea breeze and plenty of light. Italian tile and uneven floorboards. There are ancient, almost threadbare rugs and travel books vying for space between the cookbooks in the built in bookcases.
These pictures are probably a bit dull. I took them at about 6 this morning.
You cannot believe the quiet here. No, it's not quiet. It's life. The terns and plovers warbling, and the crickets chirping, the rabbit's waffling their noses at the smells of Eric making dinner. It is the sound; not far off at all actually, of the ocean lapping at the shore. It's the smell of saltwater New England and the occasional diesel truck chugging it's way along in the sand. It's my new home away from home.

FMCCA Celebrates 50 Years of Service to Manatee County
BRADENTON – On February 26, the Federation of Manatee County Community Associations held its "50th Golden Anniversary Celebration," with more than 100 people in attendance at the Bradenton American Legion Kirby Stewart Post 24. A variety of public office holders, current and past federation officials and other Manatee County movers and shakers were on hand to celebrate the organization's continued success.

The theme of the event was a celebration of the organization's esteemed history and some of the important events the Federation has been a part of in Manatee County. The opening message was delivered by Earnest "Sandy" Marshall who has been a member for 45 years and had served as its president for a total of 12 them. Marshall was later presented with a meritorious service award from Manatee School District Superintendent Rick Mills.

Five of the association's presidents, dating from the present all the way back to 1980, were introduced and recognized for their service: Jim Kaiser, Harlan Twible, Farrell Baker, Harold Crapo and Marshall. Betty Griffin, long-time secretary of the FMCCA, was also recognized for her service.

The FMCCA's mission is to "improve our quality of life and government efficiency through knowledge," and they look forward to serving Manatee County for the next 50 years as well. For the past five decades, the non-profit organization has provided a forum for Manatee association residents to bring forth issues and seek answers to their concerns and problems.

Grand Canyon National Park, South Rim
Xanterra Parks and Resorts® is committed to environmental stewardship in all aspects of our business. This stewardship is a visible component at every one of our 28 properties including Xanterra South Rim, LLC. However, when evaluating a "sense of culture" in regards to environmental stewardship, one specific property stands alone.
In such a remote area as Grand Canyon National Park, every environmental program undergoes thorough review. We implement practices to minimize refuse we can not recycle. We strive to conserve our precious natural resources through energy conservation and awareness. Our remoteness at the South Rim is only topped by the extreme remoteness of our Phantom Ranch operation.
A View of Phantom Ranch
After an eleven-mile hike, five hour mule ride, or several day river raft ride, you will arrive at one of the most remote hospitality locations in the country. No matter the transportation you choose, you will learn about environmental stewardship along the way. Hikers learn about composting toilets and water conservation through postings by the National Park Service. Mule riders are educated about litter control, water resources, and the first system of hybrid (mule) transportation that built the trails 100 years ago. River riders also learn about the environment and terrain that formed the canyon. Regardless of the transportation, once you step into the inner gorge, you are transported to a pristine wilderness and - whether consciously or unconsciously - you thank those before you with foresight to preserve this amazing place.
- Reusable plastic bottles are given to hikers needing an extra water bottle
- Supply boxes are reused to pack out recyclables
- Food bags are reused as ice packs for sore hikers
- Hay feed bags for the mules are reused for duffel pack service for guests
Due to the small sewage treatment facility on site, Phantom Ranch has an extensive water conservation program in place. Additionally, all of the detergents and chemicals used at Phantom Ranch have been deemed environmental-friendly with most having achieved green seal certification.
Pack Mules Carry Supplies across the River to Phantom Ranch
Phantom Ranch remains extremely conscious of all operating supplies. All supplies arrive by mule and all trash goes out by mule. Phantom Ranch does not stock plastic cup lids or straws. This eliminates dozens of cases that would be hauled in to be used one time and hauled out. The lunch menu was recently revised to include an electrolyte replacement system powder mix instead of canned juice. This alone saved about 250 pounds per week in supplies. In additional, smaller programs have also been implemented. Staff now serves ketchup at breakfast by request only. This has saved an additional 40 pounds a week. These simple changes have saved 15,000 pound of supplies from being hauled in (and out) just this year.

Pinwheels will be blowing in the breeze on Public Square during April.
Carrollton Council approved a request from Cheri Miller to recognize April as Child Abuse Prevention Month at the Monday meeting. Miller, an employee of Carroll County Department of Job and Family Services, told members each pinwheel represents a reported instance of child abuse or neglect in Carroll County. It's important to note each reported instance could represent one or more children.
Pinwheels will be placed in the upper portion of Public Square during the first week of April (weather permitting). Miller gave council an overview of the "Pinwheels for Prevention" walk planned for April. Other activities are planned throughout the month.
According to Miller 289 pinwheels were on display last year.
"We want to get the word out," stated Miller. "We want to educate the public on how to report abuse and neglect."
Council members responded by noting the instances are "terrible" and "a sad statistic."
In an unrelated matter, after a meeting with Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad, Mayor Frank Leghart received an offer from the company regarding an easement for a discharge line for the water treatment plant on Brenner Rd.
The railroad offered the village a one-time 25-percent discount of $15,000 per 200 linear feet of right of way. An estimated 1,300 feet will be needed bringing the cost of purchase cost to $85,000 - $90,000. Council approved a motion to accept the offer and sent thanks to Wheeling & Lake Erie for the discount and cooperation.
In other business, council:
-HEARD a request from Village Administrator Denny Roudebush asking council and the public to report any water trucks hooked to village fire hydrants. This is illegal.
-APPROVED to purchase three bullet-proof vests for the police department. Each vest costs $759.95 for a total of $2,279.85.
-LEARNED village police officers are using the clip-on camera from Vievu in Seattle, WA. The department has a 30-day trial period, which can be extended if needed.
-APPROVED a motion to pay the Carroll County Sheriff's Office for dispatch services.
-GRANTED a request from the Carroll County Historical Society to close 2nd St. SE, from the square to the Municipal Building May 18 and 19 during business hours.
-HEARD Asplundh Tree Service will be removing certain trees in curb strips around the village. These trees are in bad shape and will be removed at no cost to the village.
-SCHEDULED a public works committee for March 25 at 6 p.m. to discuss street and alley paving.
-PAID bills totaling $32,657.93 for vendors and $30,571.31 for payroll.

On May 15, the first graduating class of the College's second century received accolades for their achievements and were challenged – in the words of the late British essayist and poet laureate, John Maesfield – to "bring wisdom into human affairs." During a commencement ceremony held specifically for the College of Law, University Provost Douglas Baker presented 94 Juris Doctor candidates, and the degrees were conferred by University President Duane Nellis. The ceremony, conducted in the ASUI Kibbie Dome in Moscow, featured a tribute to retiring Professor James Macdonald as well as a special faculty resolution, read into the record by Professor Benjamin Beard, honoring the late Dean and Professor Emeritus Sheldon Vincenti in whose name a future award has been established for individuals who render extraordinary service to the College of Law.
As noted in last April's edition of "First Monday," the Class of 2010 has the distinction of performing approximately 10,000 hours of service pro bono publico. The graduates were congratulated on this demonstrated commitment to the public interest by the commencement speaker, Nancy Morris (UI Law '83), Executive Vice President and Senior Regulatory Counsel at Allianz Global Investors of America in New York City. Ms. Morris, a former editor-in-chief of the Idaho Law Review, had been inducted into the University of Idaho Alumni Hall of Fame before the commencement ceremony, in recognition of a remarkable career that has included serving as Secretary of the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission. Her work, in the words of the SEC's then-chairman, "set an exemplary standard for public service on behalf of America's investors and capital markets." Ms. Morris told the commencement audience that she had seen the "best" and the "worst" of corporate behavior during her tenure at the SEC, and she challenged graduates to ponder the behavior for which they would be remembered someday. Connecting core values of the legal profession with timeless "virtues" espoused by Benjamin Franklin, she reminded the graduates that both exceptional power and sobering responsibility would await them in their careers.
Continuing a tradition of more than three decades, the College of Law faculty announced its annual Legal Merit Award for outstanding contributions to the legal profession, the administration of justice, and philanthropic causes. The 2010 award was bestowed upon Michael E. McNichols (UI Law '63), a partner in the Lewiston firm of Clements, Brown & McNichols, who had earned a place on the Idaho Law Review as a student, and later established a statewide reputation as a formidable, and scrupulously ethical, trial advocate. He served as Commissioner and President of the Idaho State Bar, was a founding member of the philanthropic Idaho Law Foundation, and, in 2005, was named Distinguished Lawyer of Idaho by the State Bar. He has served on the Idaho Judicial Council, as president of the Idaho Association of Defense Counsel, and as community director of the Lewis-Clark State College Foundation. Mr. McNichols was unable to attend the commencement ceremony, but his former colleague in practice, the Honorable John Stegner (District Judge of Idaho's Second Judicial District) accepted the award for him, warmly acknowledging the value of mentoring he had received from Mr. McNichols.
The 2009-10 Student Bar Association president, Aaron Calkins, delivered the class remarks, noting how the intimacy of the law school community had fostered close professional relationships among many faculty and students, and had nurtured long-lasting personal friendships among members of the Class of 2010. The law faculty bestowed its Award of Legal Achievement upon Megan O'Dowd, the graduating student with the highest cumulative grade point average in the most recently graded academic term. The graduating class then conferred the Peter E. Heiser Award for Excellence in Teaching upon Professor Richard Seamon. As noted in the March edition of "First Monday," other awards had been announced during the graduating class celebration banquet. Further information about the 2010 banquet and commencement ceremony may be obtained from Anne-Marie Fulfer (email@example.com), Director of Career Services.
The Northwest Institute for Dispute Resolution, now in its fourteenth year under the leadership of UI law professor (and founding director) Maureen Laflin, has become a nationally recognized source of mediation training. In May, 2010, the Northwest Institute provided a statewide array of mediation programs – two at Moscow and two at Boise. The Moscow offerings consisted of "Basic Family Mediation," taught by Bob Collins, and "Basic Civil Mediation," team-taught by Lela Love and Joseph ("Josh") Stulberg. Professor Collins, the Director of the Mediation Clinic at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York City, has been mediating family cases since 1982. Professor Love, the Director of the Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution at the Cardozo School of Law, is immediate past chair of the American Bar Association Section of Dispute Resolution. Professor Stulberg, the John W. Bricker Professor of Law at the Ohio State University College of Law, is a Distinguished Fellow of the American College of Civil Trial Mediators and a former Vice President of the American Arbitration Association. Professors Love and Stulberg are co-authors of The Middle Voice, Mediating Conflict Successfully (Carolina Academic Press, 2009).
In Boise, the Northwest Institute partnered with the United States District Court for the District of Idaho in offering short courses entitled "The Litigator's Guide to Effective Performance in Mediation" and "The Dual Role of the Judicial Mediator: Walking the Tightrope in Judicial Mediation." The Alternative Dispute Resolution Section of the Idaho State Bar helped sponsor the Judicial Mediation course. Two experienced mediator/practitioners -- Tracy Allen from Detroit, Michigan, and Eric Galton, from Austin, Texas – collaboratively taught the two Boise courses. Together, Allen and Galton have mediated nearly 10,000 cases and have trained more than 6,000 mediators.
Further information about the Northwest Institute may be obtained from Professor Laflin (firstname.lastname@example.com).
