I might sound completely remedial right now, but wii has made me like playing games again. I grew up with nintendo and stuck with them until gcube. I bought a wii at launch, but the lack of hd really turned me off. So after I beat zelda tp, which took me a year and a half to beat, I shelved the system and mainly played 360 and ps3. I was big into halo and for a while I was competitive in it. After about 2 years of that I was completely burnt out from playing games and I felt like I just played them because it was something to do when I was at home and not because I actually enjoyed them. So about two years ago I started playing super mario galaxy and super mario bros pretty often. Now it's all I want to play. It's just like taking me back to the days when I played to have fun. I just got mario kart 7 and super mario 3d land and playing all of this mario and zelda shit is like crack. When I play that's what I want to play. End of discussion.

Erase & Install (+ Weird issues)
Due to some odd system issues (see below) I am having with my Mac Pro (G5 tower), I am considering doing an Erase & Install. My question concerning this is a very basic one: Will an Erase & Install affect any other hard drive on my computer besides the hard drive on which I wish to install the system folder?
My assumption was that Erase & Install would only affect the hard drive on which I was installing the system. However, I was recently on the phone with a lower-level Mac tech support rep who INSISTED the erase and install would delete EVERYTHING on my computer. I have since talked with a computer savvy friend who told me this is incorrect. Is there anyone who could provide rock solid confirmation one way or the other???
Thank you!
p.s. Here are the issues I am having with my Mac:
1) The energy saver screen that I've selected to appear does not appear when it is supposed to. Instead, the screen goes to black - although sometimes (less often than not), the screen saver does appear, if only for a few minutes.
2) Sometimes when I turn on the computer, I can not control the sound via the keyboard or the sound icon on the top right of the screen. The only way I can control the sound is by going into System Preferences and changing the sound from there. (When this happens, I log out of my user and then when I return, the sound works normally again).
3) When I am not working at the computer, but simply listening to itunes, the one or both of the hard drive seems to be in a perpetual sleep/awake mode where it sleeps for a few minutes, than whirs back to life, than clicks and falls asleep again. Is this normal?
Anyone have any clues as to what may be causing these issues? Would an Erase & Install be a good way to deal with this? (I've tried Archive & Install, but the problems have not yet gone away.)
Erase & Install will only affect your main system drive, it would be an extreme way, but worth a shot.
However, you should first check your System Preferences. Look for "Put the hard drive to sleep when possible" under Energy Saver. Check your sound preferences as well.
One easy way to "reset" your preferences is to delete the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file in YOURUSERACCT/Library/Preferences. Then, re-choose the preferences that you want.

Help Restore the Port Hope Depot
This restoration project will cost almost $16,000.00 the first year. Our group is requesting your help. We cannot complete this project without the help of others who would like to preserve Port Hope's history. We are asking area residents to contribute any amount. No contribution is too small or too large, and all monetary donations will be accepted gladly.
Our historic train depot is in need of major repairs. A concerned group of local citizens has formed a non-profit corporation to move, restore, and maintain the building. Our rich history and heritage should be preserved for generations to come. In addition, having a county park museum and visitors center will increase the exposure of our village and park.
Upcoming Events!

The dramatic testimony of Gregory Hicks, former U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, has shone the media spotlight on what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012, when U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in a terrorist attack. Republican lawmakers and conservative journalists have managed to raise substantial and serious questions about the administration's response to the attack, both as it was occurring and in the days that followed. The mainstream news media have been obliged to follow suit, putting White House spokesmen on the defensive, even if charges of a "cover up" remain far from proven.
But, oddly enough, almost no one is talking about what I regard as the real scandal here–the shameful failure of the Obama administration to extend state-building assistance to Libya's pro-Western leaders after having helped them to overthrow the Gaddafi regime. The inability of the Libyan government to control its own territory created the conditions that led to the 2012 attack–and those conditions have not changed since.
A recent Reuters dispatch from Tripoli notes: "More than 18 months after the fall of dictator Muammar Gaddafi, Libya's new rulers have yet to impose a firm grip on a country awash with weapons. Rebel groups that helped to overthrow him are still refusing to disband, and remain more visible on the streets than the state security forces."
Libya ostensibly has democratic institutions, but in reality it seems to be prey to mob rule. At the end of last month, for example, gunmen besieged the foreign and justice ministries, demanding the passage of a law to ban anyone who had held a senior position in the Gaddafi government. As Reuters further notes: "Parliament bowed to the demand and approved the legislation a week later, despite criticism from rights groups and diplomats who said it was sweeping, unfair and could cripple the government."
The U.S. is being derelict in not doing more to help the elected government in Libya to establish its authority–and in the process we are allowing an opening for al-Qaeda and its ilk. Shouldn't someone in a position of authority in Washington be talking about this? And, even better, doing something about it?
No doubt President Obama, in the full grip of Iraq Syndrome, regards any attempts to stabilize Libya as the first step toward getting involved in a "quagmire." And no doubt, too, Republicans are loathe to criticize him on this front because "nation building" remains as anathema in their ranks as it does in the Obama administration. But in the process we are not doing nearly enough to address the critical threat in Libya, which could result in more attacks on U.S. personnel and interests in the future.

Sensitive Security Information (SSI)
|Air Transportation Security Act (Summary)
(Pub. L. No. 93-366)
|This law directed that U.S. airport operators establish security programs that include law enforcement personnel from State, local, and private sources. The law mandated that the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/FAA) prescribe regulations requiring weapons-detecting screening of all passengers and carry-on property. The law specifically authorized FAA to issue regulations that, notwithstanding the Freedom of Information Act, would prohibit disclosure of any information obtained or developed in the conduct of research and development activities if the disclosure of such information (1) would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy; (2) would reveal trade secrets or privileged or confidential commercial or financial information obtained from any person; or (3) would be detrimental to the safety of persons traveling in air transportation. Pursuant to this authority, FAA promulgated regulations that created a category of sensitive but unclassified information known as Sensitive Security Information (SSI).
|Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 191
(Notice of Proposed Rulemaking)
|On June 18, 1976, FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking to create 14 CFR Part 191 entitled "Withholding Security Information from Disclosure under the Air Transportation Security Act of 1974." Part 191 describes what information is protected from disclosure by the FAA. Among records prohibited from public release were "the security program of any airport; the security program of any air carrier; any device for the detection of any explosive or incendiary device or weapon; and, any contingency security plan."
|Aviation Security Improvement Act (Summary)
(Pub. L. No. 101-604)
|The bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988, stimulated significant changes in aviation security. In 1989, the President's Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism recommended improvements in the FAA security bulletin process. As a result, Security Directives (SDs) and Information Circulars (ICs) were created. This 1990 Act later required procedures to minimize the number of individuals having access to security threat information, such as SDs and ICs.
|14 CFR Parts 107 et al., including Part 191 (Sensitive Security Information)
(14 CFR Part 191 – Final Rule)
|On March 21, 1997, FAA published the final rule on 14 CFR Part 191, changing its title to "Protection of Sensitive Security Information," which strengthened existing rules to protect SSI from unauthorized disclosure, and expanded its application to air carriers, airport operators, indirect air carriers, foreign air carriers, and individuals, specifying in more detail the information they must protect. In specifying what information constituted SSI, the final rule at Part 191 expanded the 1976 rule to specifically protect SDs, ICs, and inspection, incident, and enforcement-related SSI.
|Aviation and Transportation Security Act
(Pub. L. No. 107-71)
|Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States, Congress passed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) on November 19, 2001, which established the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The Act transferred the responsibility for civil aviation security from FAA to TSA. The statute also provided authority to TSA to designate information as SSI.
|Civil Aviation Security Rules
(14 CFR Parts 91, et al., and 49 CFR Parts 1500, et al., including Part 1520 – Protection of Sensitive Security Information) Final Rule
|On February 22, 2002, FAA and TSA published a final rule transferring the bulk of FAA's aviation security rules, including FAA's SSI regulation, to TSA. It also specified in more detail which information is SSI, and protected vulnerability assessments for all modes of transportation.
|Homeland Security Act (HSA) of 2002
(Pub. L. No. 107-296)
|The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (HSA), signed on November 25, 2002, established the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and transferred TSA from DOT to DHS. The HSA also amended 49 U.S.C. §40119 to retain SSI authority for the Secretary of Transportation, and added subsection (s) (now (r)) to 49 U.S.C. § 114 reaffirming TSA's authority under DHS to prescribe SSI regulations.
|49 CFR Part 1520 (Interim Final Rule)
|TSA and DOT expanded the SSI regulation to incorporate maritime security measures implemented by U.S. Coast Guard regulations and clarify preexisting SSI provisions in an interim final rule (IFR) issued on May 18, 2004. The DOT SSI regulation is at 49 CFR Part 15, and the TSA SSI regulation remains at 49 CFR Part 1520.
|49 CFR Part 1520 (Technical Amendment)
|TSA and DOT issued a technical amendment to the SSI regulation on January 7, 2005, to remove the limiting words "aviation or maritime" from 49 CFR 1520.11 (persons with a need to know) to clarify that entities in all transportation modes are persons with a need to know specific SSI, i.e., vulnerability assessments and threat information, to help forestall future attacks.
|49 CFR Part 1520 (Interim Final Rule)
|TSA issued an IFR on July 19, 2005, expanding the SSI regulation to protect information related to the reopening of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) to specified General Aviation flights.
|Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2006 § 537
(Pub. L. No. 109-90, codified at 6 U.S.C. § 114)
|This Act, signed on October 18, 2005, required DHS to provide department-wide policies for designating, safeguarding, and marking documents as SSI, along with auditing and accountability procedures. The Act also required that DHS report to Congress the number of SSI Coordinators within DHS, and provide a list of documents designated as SSI in their entirety. It also required that DHS provide guidance that includes extensive examples of SSI to further define the individual categories found under 1520.5(b)(1) through (16). The Act directed that such guidance serve as the primary basis and authority for protecting, sharing, and marking information as SSI.
|Air Cargo Security Requirements
(49 CFR Parts 1520, 1540, 1542, et al.) Final Rule
|TSA issued a Final Rule on May 29, 2006, clarifying that Security Directives and Information Circulars issued to Indirect Air Carriers (cargo freight forwarders) were SSI, as were the performance specifications of devices used by the Federal Government or any other person pursuant to aviation or maritime transportation security requirements to detect persons.
|Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2007 § 525
(Pub. L. No. 109-295)
|This Act, signed on October 4, 2006, required DHS to revise its SSI MD to include the Advanced SSI Application Guide and mandated timely review of SSI requests. It also contained reporting requirements, mandated expanded access to SSI in litigation, and required that all SSI over three years old, and not in current SSI categories, be released upon request unless the DHS Secretary [or designee] makes a written determination that the information must remain SSI.
|Real ID or Minimum Standards for Driver's Licenses and ID Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes
(6 CFR 37 – Final Rule)
|The REAL ID Act of 2005 (Pub. L. No. 109–13) required DHS to establish standards for state-issued driver's licenses that Federal agencies could accept for official identification purposes, including "boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft." Title 6 CFR Part 37, published on January 29, 2008, implements the REAL ID Act and requires states to provide to DHS security plans and related vulnerability assessments on state facilities where cards will be produced. These security plans and assessments are SSI and must be handled in accordance with 49 CFR 1520.
|Rail Transportation Security
(49 CFR Part 1520 and 1580 – Final Rule)
|The Rail Transportation Security Final Rule, published in the Federal Register on November 26, 2008, adds rail-related terms and covered persons to Part 1520, including railroad carriers, rail facilities, rail hazardous materials shippers and receivers, and rail transit systems that are described in new Part 1580. Although rail vulnerability assessments and threat information were already SSI under Part 1520, this rail final rule specifies that information on rail security investigations and inspections, security measures, security training materials, critical rail infrastructure assets, and research and development is also SSI.

Plants Vs. Zombies is a tower defense game where you build up your army of plants through resource management and strategic planning as you try prevent a horde of zombies from barging through your backyard and eating your brains. No, really; that's probably how the pitch of the game must have sounded like. A few years and millions of sales later, the game is still going strong with an excellent port to the Playstation Vita, adding yet another strong title to the system's launch lineup. Take that, Nathan Drake...
(Click here for images of Plants Vs. Zombies for the PS Vita)
For those who have managed to avoid PvZ in all of this time, I don't know what to say other than you must hate fun and/or The Walking Dead tv show. The game gives you the freedom to mess around with a grid that doubles as your backyard (later roof) where you can strategize how you're going to beat the zombies. PvZ's currency are the sunflowers that produce energy so you can bring down plants of destruction to combat the zombies, who also come in different flavors.
You start out initially with just pea shooters and potato mines (yup, "spudow" is the sound it makes when a zombie steps on it), but completing a level rewards you with a brand new ability which you can then choose to use or not the next go around. The methodical build comes to a head around the second or third set of levels when the playing field changes dramatically and you're forced to make tough decisions. Should you use up a slot (you're limited to only six slots initially, but that gradually grows as you earn coins) to get rid of the tombstones that become a hassle during the final wave or should you take your chances with a well-timed cherry bomb and use the fan to blow away the fog that takes up nearly a fourth of the grid? Then there's the zombie dolphins. Seriously, zombie dolphins.
While the core game remains intact from previous versions, plenty of the side distractions can be found on this package. This version of PvZ comes with the Zombatar that allows you make your very own zombie Don King (sorry, I couldn't resist) or whatever wacky celebrity you can think of. The mini-games change up the rules by using the plants you just recently acquired to take out the zombies in unique ways. One moment you can be bowling and bouncing wall-nuts off zombies and in the next you're taking them out with PvZ's version of a Contra spread gun. There are also puzzle and survival modes that sound as mind-numbingly and excruciatingly fun as their name implies. Sorry, I was never that good at either mode...
For a game that has seen multiple iterations and screen sizes of pratcially every shape, the Vita's OLED display helps give PvZ a liveliness we have not seen before. The vibrant colors actually help with the gameplay, allowing you to really discern between the plants and the zombies when it gets crowded in a particular section of the screen. The game also moves at a smoother frame rate than any of its predecessors, so the football and miner zombies look even more scray as it barrels towards you. A weird caveat though is that the area dedicated to your plants is a tad small for my taste, which can at times accidentally make you pick the wrong plant.
The Vita's tilt controls are used rather brilliantly as a way to automatically pick up any coins or sunflower energy that happens to drop; just slightly tilt the Vita and you never have to worry about wasting time trying to point at the screen when you could worrying about other things. You can also choose to use the traditional d-pad controls, but that's just asking to make things harder on yourself for no good reason.
Nearly three later and Plants Vs. Zombies has yet wear out its welcome. Something this ubiquitous should have already creeped into that Angry Birds level of where you know its still a good game but you resent its success because it got "too big." And yet the charm of seeing adorable plants blast zombies to oblivion has not gotten the slightest bit old. Maybe it has to do with the game's inability to take itself seriously that still makes me smile every time I see the game. Or it could be the singing sunflower; either way works for me, really...
While $14.99 might be a stretch if you already own the game in one of eleventy other platforms and phones and tablets, it is an absolute must-own if this is your first time jumping into the fray. If anything, it will prepare you to haggle with Crazy Dave when the day of zombie reckoning eventually comes.

Fire destroys Kingsville duplex
KINGSVILLE - Two Kingsville families lost their homes in a duplex fire late Wednesday, officials said.
No one was at either home as crews from Kingsville, Naval Air Station Kingsville and Ricardo fire departments were called to the 800 block of Doddridge Avenue about 8:30 p.m., said Rene Quintanilla, acting fire captain for Kingsville.
"It was fully involved when we arrived," he said. "It took about 20 firefighters 45 minutes to control the blaze."
There were no injuries, but five firefighters had to "take a breather" on oxygen from exhaustion, Quintanilla said.
The fire is under investigation, he said, and he didn't know if American Red Cross had contacted the families for aid.

left anterior descending artery (heart, anatomy)
You have 3 open access pages left.UK healthcare workers and students can get FREE subscriptions... click here.
The anterior interventricular artery, often clinically termed the left anterior descending artery, is a branch of the left coronary artery. It originates at the left margin of the pulmonary trunk, anterior to the left atrial auricle. It descends on the sternocostal surface of the heart within the anterior interventricular groove. During this course it may give off several branches e.g.:
Within the groove, the anterior interventricular artery passes around the inferior border of the heart. On the inferior surface of the heart it anastomoses with the posterior interventricular branch of the right coronary artery.
The anterior interventricular artery supplies the:
The left anterior descending artery is the one most commonly affected by disease, predominantly atherosclerotic narrowing.

These images may be hard to look at, but they need to be seen. These are photos taken straight from the scene of the Sandy Hook Shooting that took place earlier this morning. So far 29 victims have been confirmed to have been shot dead- 18 of which were little children.
It is impossible to imagine what the parents of these children are going through- but these photos say more than words can. Elite Daily would like to send our deepest condolences to all the families that lost a child in the tragedy.
No parent should have to go through this. We can only hope that the government will take strict action on gun control. Let us hope this is the last time something like this happens.

BRISTOL — For the second straight year, the Bristol Motor Speedway track record fell in qualifying for the Food City 500.
NASCAR's new knockout qualifying format did little to slow down Denny Hamlin who rocketed around the .533-mile oval at 14.761 seconds (129.991 mph) in his No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota.
It broke the year-old track record sent by his teammate Kyle Busch (129.595 mph), and was the third straight pole position for the Gibbs team with Hamlin also the pole winner for last August's IRWIN Tools Night Race.
With his 18th career pole, Hamlin tied Lee Petty, Donnie Allison and Joe Weatherly for 38th place on NASCAR's all-time list. He is the 11th driver to win consecutive poles at Bristol and the first since Mark Martin in 2009.
Twenty-two of the previous 106 races at Bristol have been won from the pole position. Carl Edwards was the last to do it in August 2008.
Only four drivers have won from the pole position multiple times — Bobby Allison, Cale Yarborough, Darrell Waltrip and Rusty Wallace.
Eighty-five of the 106 races have been won from a top-10 starting position, while only five races have been won from a starting spot outside the top 20.
The deepest in the field that a race winner has started was 38th by Elliott Sadler in 2001.
Two drivers — David Reutimann driving the No. 35 Ford for the Front Row Motorsports team owned by Morristown businessman Bob Jenkins, and Dave Blaney in the No. 77 Ford — failed to qualify for the Food City 500.
Front Row did have two other drivers qualify for Sunday's race.
David Gilliland will go off the grid 16th in his No. 38 Ford, while David Ragan will start the No. 34 Ford in the 19th position.
Cale Conley, a highly-touted 21-year-old from Virginia who made a name for himself driving in the USAC Sprint Car and World of Outlaws Sprint Car Series, will become the 37th driver to make his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut in today's Drive to Stop Diabetes 300.
While not his debut, Bristol also marks a return to the series for Ryan Blaney in the No. 22 Penske Racing Ford. It will be Blaney's first time in the car since winning at Kentucky last September.
The Drive for Diabetes 300 is slated to start at 2 p.m.
Speaking of the Bluegrass State, Kentucky teenager Ben Rhodes will start from the pole in today's PittLite 125 for the K&N Pro Series.
The 17-year-old Rhodes, who won a special event at Kingsport Speedway last season, toured the .533-mile oval at 119.658 mph (16.036 seconds).
"Last year I was overdriving it a lot," said Rhodes who finished ninth in last year's race. "I was really nervous and didn't know what to do. This year I know what I've got to do. I just needed to relax a little more, drive it like I would in practice and forget the rest."
Brandon Gdovic, a 21-year-old from Yorktown, Va., ran a lap of 119.589 mph to start second. Points lead Daniel Suarez, who won the first two K&N races of the season, will start 17th.
Today's race is scheduled to begin at 4:45 p.m., dependent upon the completion of the Nationwide Series race.comments powered by Disqus

projo.com: Hatteberg gets to play, but regrets Varitek injury
The Red Sox shouldn't experience any drop off offensively. Defensively, however, the injury could hurt them. Although I've always thought Hatteberg's defense isn't as bad as reported, Varitek has been catching about as well as any catcher can.

Bayern Munich forward Arjen Robben scored zero goals but made two dives against Arsenal in today's UEFA Champions League match, with one of the dives resulting in a penalty for the Bundesliga club that was saved by Lukasz Fabianski.
Why a footballer of his calibre would resort to such blatant diving is beyond me, especially considering that Bayern Munich would have advanced through to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League tonight even without his histrionics.
Here are the two blatant dives by Robben:
Is it time for referees to clamp down on this sort of behavior and yellow card players? What do you think? Share your opinion in the comments section below.

The UW-System has a dual structure for governance. Each campus has a student government and a collegium comprised of faculty, staff, and students, but there is also a governance structure at the institutional level. At the institutional level, the University of Wisconsin Colleges Senate consists of faculty, staff, and students with the chancellor as the presiding officer.
Students have three representatives and three alternates who are elected by the SGC and sit on the UW Colleges Senate. The SGC also serves as a forum for students to represent their campuses in discussion about various policies and procedures that impact the UW Colleges, as well as benefit from others experiences encountered at the campus level. The SGC serves as the students' voice at the institutional level.

text: So I normally smoke alone and at home (generally in my shed due to this bloody cold weather). But today was as nice a winter day as you can get around here so I decided to have a smoke outside my office with my new shipment from P&C. Anyways, a friend came out and started laughing when she saw me smoking, not because I was smoking a pipe, but with my winter Pea Coat she thought I looked like a sailor! She then took to calling my Captain Highliner (Canadian frozen fish brand with an old sea captain as their spokesman). It was pretty damn funny, but she did compliment my Trout Stream tobacco even if it added to the sailor joke!

Video:Plants That Are Poisonous to Catswith Ashley Alford
There are a number of common plants that you should look out for if you're a cat owner, as they may be poisonous to your pet. This video from About.com will explain the types of plants that are poisonous to cats.See Transcript
Transcript:Plants That Are Poisonous to Cats
Hi, I'm Ashley Alford with the Village Vets of Decatur for About.com, and I'm going to tell you about some poisonous plants for cats.
Keep Cats Away From Easter Lilies
Most of the plants that are going to be toxic to cats are going to be houseplants. So one of the biggest things that we see here is Easter Lily toxicity. We've had about 5 cases of that over the Easter break and what happens is these guys ingest those plants and they start out with having vomiting and diarrhea, and that typically progresses to them being lethargic and depressed. By the time they get to us, a lot of the time, they are already in kidney failure.
Make Sure House Plants Are Intact
So we want to make sure that we are mindful of those plants in the home and make sure we at least monitor to make sure cats cannot reach those plants, and make sure that those plants are fully intact and those cats are not chewing on the leaves when we're not looking. So when you have these plants in the home, you have to do several things. You have to monitor to make sure that the plants are fully in tact and make sure that the leaves are not chewed.
Keep Plants Out of Reach of Cats
You want to also make sure that you that you keep these plants out of reach if at all possible from your cats. Which can definitely be hard to do because cats are climbers and jumpers, but we do want to at least make sure that they are put up at a high distance or that they are out of reach or out of the areas where the cats like to frequent.
Poinsettias Are Also Poisonous to Cats
We want to be careful during the Christmas holidays as well. We love poinsettias, they're beautiful, but they also cause GI upset for cats, so we definitely want to keep those plants away from the cats as well. Really, in general, you want to keep any plant away from a cat because they all can pretty much cause gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining, and they can all cause vomiting and diarrhea.
Thanks for watching. For more information, visit About.com.

Hunter Hayes on His 2014 CMA Awards Date: 'I'm Very Lucky'

Hunter Hayes will have someone by his side at the 2014 CMA Awards on Wednesday night (Nov. 5). The 'Tattoo' singer says his date is "gorgeous" before adding, "I'm very lucky."
Lee Brice is nominated for the CMA Song of the Year for his latest, 'I Don't Dance,' and he dropped in with Taste of Country to talk about the upcoming awards show.
Two of the most nominated artists at the 2014 CMA Awards learned they were winners before the show even started. Dierks Bentley has won the Music Video of the Year award, while Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert took Musical Event of the Year.
The 2014 CMA Awards are upon us, and two of the big-name nominees are getting a jump on the action. Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban will start the day on Wednesday (Nov. 5) by appearing on 'Good Morning America.'
Many of the usual suspects are up for the major awards. However, to me, there is one category that should be real interesting to see who wins it -- Entertainer of the Year.
The 48th annual CMA Awards are quickly approaching, and a few big names have already been announced as performers.
Tonight for Classic Country Saturday Night we direct your attention to this date in 1968. It was on this night that the CMA Awards were held and for the first time, there were network television cameras there. The big winner of that night 46 years was Glen Campbell. Here are some of Glen's biggest hits of that year.
When the nominations came out for the 48th annual CMA Awards, country music superstar Jason Aldean was not listed in even one category. Yikes
The 2014 CMA Awards nominees have been announced!

I drove bus years ago and the teachers' union wanted the bus drivers in the union. Later, I discovered the only reason for this was so we would honor their strike. However; when the bus drivers had an arbitration problem, the teachers told us we were on our own. Have never cared for educators since.
It will be interesting to see how low the prosecuting attorney bargain with this person. I believe that after the first one, there should be no plea bargaining. A year in jail would be good for conviction #2 and doubled for each one there after.
Just watching Schmidt trying to explain this away, you can tell that he is a liar. This is a fine example of someone making a career out of being a politician, go ahead a re elect him, you will get just exactly what you see, someone who will jump ship and try to deceive you whenever he is cornered.
Bear now sighted close to Ford Airport. At this rate, Kent county police will be on the hunt so they can either shoot it or chase it onto the expressway only to be hit by a car.
This is a case of not wanting to do a full investigation so they could pass off a problem teacher. This happens all the way from newly tenured teachers to superintendents.
One of the prominent pictures in the Uni Solar entrance is one of George Bush walking thru an ECD building. So it stands to reason that Uni Solar was well on it's way before Obama became president. I do have some question about the tax breaks given to this company, will they have to be made up? Montcalm Community College committed hundreds of thousands of dollars to establish a new cariculam at the insistence of Uni Solar, will any of this money be refunded. I worked for these people and you could tell from day one, they thought they were above the law of common sense. They actually had a person with an injury wheeled out of production in an office chair because they didn't want anyone (EMT's) to see how their product was made
If this is a first time offense, I agree with the reduced charge. However, if there are previous offenses, the city attorney is wrong.
Grand Rapids Township voters, make a mark on your calendars, the Prosecuting Attorney that ok'd this agreement should not be re elected. This perp is old enough to be the girls grandfather.
I would hope that these crooks will be forced to pay back all the tax write offs and incentives that they got to build these buildings in Greenville. Greenville and the State of Michigan were sold a bill of goods. King George, the city manager, fell in love with the television cameras and was an easy dupe in the procedure. Not only Greenville, Montcalm Community College spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to try to please Uni Solar, offering classes that were supposed to help obtain a job in the solar company. I know of MCC grads who never got an interview, let alone a job. I hope these fools can live with themselves.
Bring back Mr. Fables, best burgers in the state!
I worked for these people, it couldn't happen to a more arrogant bunch of management. The plant manager bragged about being able to purchase stock for "only" $57.00. Hope he has a recipe for paper soup.
mydogs, so you would continue to pay this chief while a new city manager once again did an investigation? The interim had plenty of time to look at the evidence and make an informed decision. I don't like to see anyone loose their job, however, this looks to be just.
The mothers' contempt, and the fact that she has visited this guy in jail every Sunday since the disappearance tells me there is something very wrong with her.
You can't fix stupid
I wonder how the schools and universities in Europe continue to use buildings that are 50 to 100 years old successfully. Maintenance of our public buildings is haphazard at best. The common belief is that all they need to do is keep the facility running, at any level, because a bond issue for a new school will be passed. These people need to show us they will maintain what they have before we give them something new.
50 years ago, I worked at a bakery that had an oliver bread slicer. I always connected it with the oliver tractor in my mind, wonder if it was made by this company.
I posted yesterday that about a twist in the law called the freedom to roam act. If the fence was intact and the gates fastened, the home owners insurance will cover the car damage. The value of the horses will be covered by the auto insurance. Hopefully this law is still in force.
Even a closely watched horse, if left outside will find a way to get out.
Advice to the Masts, check with your insurance company. Your insurance liability should cover the vehicle that hit your horses. The vehicle insurance should cover your horses do to the "freedom to roam act" which says that if your fences are in good repair and the gates were latched, it was an act of nature that your horses got loose. Good luck.
I agree with karatkake, greed got these "victims" into the situation. However a year in prison seems too soft for the offense. When will our court system learn that restitution will never be accomplished. Make him sell everything he owns, even if it puts his family in jeopardy, I'm sorry, but this crook provided extras that should be given up.

"Policies from the Field" is a series of six working papers that offer insight and analysis into promising food policies from cities and regions across North America, Europe, and Australia Ranging from a health in all policies approach, local food procurement, land-use planning, and food policy councils, "Policies from the Field" presents case studies and examples of how Ontario can learn from innovative policies and initiatives from other places in order to transform its food and farming sector.
Ontario: The Case for a Provincial Food Policy Council
Author: Mark Winne
Abstract: Ontario faces a range of food system challenges, such as unequal access to affordable, healthy, and locally produced food, soaring health care costs due to unhealthy food environments, and economic problems that make it difficult for farmers to make a living growing food. Food policy councils offer an opportunity to address problems by building solutions collaboratively. By bringing together stakeholders to harness the power of good food ideas, food policy councils can create policies, programs, and regulations that foster healthy communities and a strong and vibrant food and farming sector.
Possibilities for Local Food Procurement in Ontario
Author: Kyra Bell-Pasht
Abstract: Ontario is affected by many trade agreements that potentially restrict its ability to enact public procurement measures that discriminate in favour of local food. However, an examination of some of the limitations and exceptions of certain trade agreements that affect Ontario as well as a review of public procurement measures adopted by jurisdictions subject to similar trade agreement restrictions, such as the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States, and Nova Scotia, will demonstrate possibilities for local food procurement policies in Ontario.
Health in All Policies

Abstract: A wide range of policies can influence health, ranging from employment and education strategies to promoting healthy eating and active lifestyles. This short paper will offer examples from Finland, South Australia, and the World Health Organization to illustrate how innovative thinking around health can be used to increase the health of the population while also reducing health care costs.

Preserving Agricultural Land for Local Food Production: Policies from other Places as a Guide to Land Use Planning for Ontario
Author: Burgandy Dunn
Excerpt: "There is a negative correlation between the supply of dependable agricultural land and the demand for cultivated land in Canada. At present, a significant amount of agricultural land near urban centers is owned by developers, awaiting development, and not in sustainable agricultural use. Meanwhile, Ontario farmers are experiencing a farm income crisis and Ontario's ability to grow its own food is diminishing. The effects of market pressure on agricultural land are not new. […]In order to preserve the continued use of agricultural land for farming, both development pressure and the economic viability of farming must be addressed. In what follows, a selection of policy tools has been highlighted. In each case, an example of the policy tool's implementation and impact are provided. This summary provides an overview of some of the policies in place in other jurisdictions which may be worth further consideration for implementation (or increased use) in Ontario."

Article By Sian
Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) is a tree native to North America, eastern Canada and the eastern and central regions United States.
It is the dried inner bark of the tree, which is sold in the form of powder, capsules and tea. You can also get lozenges which are used in the treatment of sore throats.
I first heard of Slippery elm over thirty years ago. My grandmother always kept some as she said, "It puts a new lining on your stomach."
My grandfather and mother suffered from sensitive and delicate stomachs at times, and a couple of months ago my mother said why did I not try it for IBS?
I saw nothing on the packet to indicate it was helpful for any bowel disorder, only that it was easily digestible for people with delicate stomachs, so I checked several sites covering Slippery elm food on the internet, and found a lot of information I had not known before.
Certain sites declared that GP's should make a point of advising patients with
Crohns Disease,
IBS, and other bowel or stomach conditions to drink Slippery elm.
First time try
Following the instructions on the pack I made a paste of the powder with cold milk and topped up with hot (almost boiling) milk.
It did indeed seem to settle my stomach, but it was not for about three weeks when I began increasing the dose to two heaped teaspoons (as recommended in one article) that I did notice the difference.
The drink came out very thick, like wallpaper paste! but its mild, nutty taste was pleasant enough.
I would leave it to cool a little and stir it, then drink, and could feel that slippery quality as I swallowed.
I continued this each night before I went to bed, with the idea that during the night, this " gloop " as I called it, would coat my stomach and intestines.
I had read that it takes away inflammation, and thus pain, however since I am prescribed Codeine Phosphate due to the degree of pain I suffer with IBS, I could not imagine anything working if that did not.
Since taking the powder regularly, I have not
suffered a bad attack of IBS, certainly not the nausea and agony which sends me crouching to swallow a pill for the sickness, one for the pain and to fill up a hot water bottle.
It has now become part of my daily diet, and one which I would gladly recommend any-one try for at least a month.
The words, "I must go and make my gloop." , as I refer to Slippery elm powder are heard every night in the house at about 9 pm.
It does not prevent the actual needing of a convenient - and close - bathroom, it is not an instant magical cure, but taken on a regular daily basis, it seems to prevent much of the pain I experienced with IBS.
The benefits of the bark lie in the " slippery " or mucilaginous properties, which is soothing to irritated tissues, including the lungs (it was used to treat sufferers of Tuberculosis, as it encourages the body to expel excess mucus) the adrenal glands, and the gastrointestinal tract.
It was traditionally given to people with weak stomachs, as it is highly digestible, even to those who cannot digest milk, and those undergoing chemotherapy, who have no appetite.
It is so safe it can be fed to babies.
It is also nutritious, and it is said that George Washington and his troops survived the terrible winter at Valley Forge on a gruel made from Slippery elm.
Survivors of concentration camps, or prisoner of war camps were sometimes given it to help to build them up after their ordeal.
Made as a thick "porridge" it is said to act as a gentle lavage in cases of constipation and as a milky drink, to prevent diarrhea.
The Native Americans knew the benefits of Slippery elm, and its medicinal properties, which they passed on to the early settlers.
A compound made of the bark could be used to make a type of porridge, or applied externally to wounds as a poultice, including burns.
Midwives used to encourage pregnant women to drink it, since it mucilaginous qualities were said to aid in childbirth.

text: Until a week ago, I used to direct USPPA tournaments at the local poolhall. The reasons why I stopped running the tournaments is for one, I don't like waking up early on Saturdays, and two, I have to deal with people who whine and complain alot. If I go in favor of one person, the other person gets mad at me, so I am sick of it. There was one situation where in a match, player A got left with the 7 and 8 ball close to each other, and in order to cut the ball in the pocket he would come very close to the 8 ball (in a game of 9-ball). Player A was standing at the table, deciding what he was going to do. Player B, who was sitting behind player A, gets up out of his chair, completely out of player A's line of sight, and checks to see if he should call me to watch the hit. Player A notices player B out of the corner of his eye, and gets in an argument with him about disturbing his train of thought. Player B's argument was that he was just checking if he needed to call me to referee the shot, and player A's argument was that he disturbed his concentration. I told player A that since he was not down on the shot, and simply standing at the table, player B had a right to get up and look since player A was standing in front of him. When player B got up, he was completely behind Player A, and player A must have noticed him by seeing his shadow move or something. Anyways, player A got upset and told me that I was wrong. What do you think? Was I wrong? I usually deal with situations like this every week, so I got a little tired of it.

Former CCBC Catonsville Guard, Jonte "Too Tall" Hall, joins the Harlem GlobetrottersOctober 19, 2011
BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. – Former CCBC Catonsville Men's Basketball Player Jonte Hall has been named as one of ten members of the Harlem Globetrotters 2012 rookie class. A Baltimore native, Hall is a graduate of Carver Vocational High School and was a member of the CCBC Catonsville Cardinals 2001-2002 team.
He joins what could be the most electrifying and talented team in the history of the Globetrotter franchise. It could even rival the class of 1962, which featured Globetrotter legends Curly Neal, Smokey Gaines, and Jackie Jackson, and the class of 1977that boasted legends Sweet Lou Dunbar and Billy Ray Hobley.
"The Globetrotters are excited to welcome a new generation of stars to carry on the storied tradition of the world's most exciting basketball team, " said Globetrotter CEO Kurt Schneider. "This year's rookie class features some of the most talented and promising players across the world."
When Jonte "Too Tall" Hall steps on the floor, he will become the shortest player in Globetrotter history at 5'2". Hall joins the Globetrotters after one-and-a-half seasons with the rival Washington Generals.
In addition to being a former CCBC Catonsville student athlete, Jonte has also been a Camp Heritage Senior Counselor for the past 9 years. The Globetrotters will be making a Baltimore appearance at the 1st Mariner Arena on Dec. 30, 2011.
For additional information about CCBC Catonsville athletics or Camp Heritage, contact Greg Witkop at 443-840-5979 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Albuca is an African genus of more than 100 species belonging to the Hyacinthaceae family and includes some species more recently included in Ornithogalum. All Albuca species grow from bulbs, and most have a dormancy period after flowering whereby they lose their leaves. The flower scape is unbranched. The flowers are white and yellow and are embellished with a green to brown stripe down the middle of each outer tepal. Species G-P are found on this wiki page.
Albuca index - Albuca A-F - Albuca R-Z - Ornithogalum
Albuca hallii is native from the winter rainfall area in Namibia through the Hantamsberge to South of Calvinia. It is similar to Albuca spiralis. Plants are 10-15 cm tall, leaves are few, silvery glacous, corkscrewed only on the upper half of the leaves. In habitat flowers are formed March-May (autumn). Flowers are glaucous but not yellow-green found in other species. This species often produces a scape without leaves.
Albuca humilis is found on the edges and seams of rock sheets, gravel and silt patches and rock grassland up to 2800 meters in the Eastern Mountain Region of the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. It grows from 3 to 25 cm and has white flowers with the outer tepals striped green and the inner tepals tipped yellow. Photos taken at Naude's Nek January 2010 by Mary Sue Ittner.
Albuca juncifolia grows on sandy and calcareous flats in the western and southern Cape. Plants grow from 15 to 30 cm and have 4 to 10 slender stiff leaves that are not clasping below and usually terete above and nodding flowers that are yellow with green keels. It flowers in spring (September to October).
Albuca longipes grows in dry silty loam in karroid scrub from the Richtersveld to Biedouw Valley (mostly northwest Cape, winter rainfall areas of Namaqualand). It has white erect flowers with green keels. The hooded inner tepals have golden yellow tips. Flowers are 20 to 25 mm across and plants grow to about 20 cm. Photo 1 was taken by Alan Horstmann. Photo 2 was taken in the Cederberg by Mary Sue Ittner October 2006. Photos 3-4 were taken by Andrew Harvie near Springbok in Namaqualand.
The photos below were taken by Andrew Harvie in the De Hoop Nature Reserve. The species A. longipes is not known to be outside of Namaqualand, but these photos have been tentatively identified as this species.
Albuca massonii grows on sandstone slopes in the northwest Cape and flowers September to October. Plants are 20 to 30 cm high with two or three channeled slender leaves and nodding yellow to green flowers with green keels. Photos taken in habitat in the Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve by Andrew Harvie. The flowers were very small, about 10 mm long.
Albuca namaquensis see the Albuca namaquensis page.
Representative photos of this species. Photos from Mary Sue Ittner, Jacob Uluwehi Knecht, and Nhu Nguyen.
Albuca navicula U. Müller-Doblies, was described as new in 1994 and it occurs on red sandy flats from Clanwilliam to Namaqualand. It grows to 20 cm tall, its bulb typically depressed-globose. Leaves erect-ascending, straight and channeled like the hull of a boat (navicular), glaucous, finely hairy along the margins. Flowers in spring (about March) few per scape, dull green and nodding. This species is marked especially by its small size and "boat-like" leaves.
This is an excellent winter bulb for small pots. Dylan Hannon reports that it has grown well planted shallowly (not more than 1" deep) in 3" pots in a mix comprised mostly of sand and pumice with about 10% organic matter. A. navicula appreciates bright light and even full sun so long as hot temperatures are avoided. The soil mix should be allowed to dry between waterings. As with some other albucas and hyacinths, this species may remain dormant through a whole growing season-- in other words, it can skip a year of growth. This can happen in spite of abundant rain or watering and even with the development of a healthy new root system. This phenomenon appears to be a sort of stasis rather than a setback and a normal growth cycle can be expected the following season.
The photos below depict material collected by John Lavranos in southeastern Namaqualand, near Platbakkies in 1997 (Lavranos & Teissier 30685). Photographed and grown by Dylan Hannon.
Albuca nelsonii is one of the larger species, and is quite common in the nursery trade these days. The first two photos below by Roy Herold are of a nice planting at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden in Cape Town, South Africa, in November, 2006. The next two photos were taken in habitat, Kei Mouth, Eastern Cape by Andrew Harvie.
Albuca osmynella (syn. Ornithogalum osmynellum) is endemic to the Oograbies Hills, Namaqualand, Northern Cape, South Africa. It is a Red List species. The first three photos from Monica Swartz show the mounding bulbs and the strange branching flowers. The leaves of this species are spiral but these photos don't show that. The last photo by Pamela Slate shows the bulbs.
Albuca pendula B. Matthew (1994) is native to southwestern Saudi Arabia. It is a cliff-dwelling species with pendulous leaves. It grows during winter and goes dormant in the summer. It is not tolerant of cold temperatures like South African natives. A light frost (-1 to -2 °C) will severely damage the foliage. It must therefore be protected during very frosty nights. The photos below were taken by Nhu Nguyen. Photo 1 shows a younger plant with a more erect habit. In later years as the bulb matures and the leaves get longer (up to a meter in length), the plant will take on a more pendulous habit.
Albuca polyphylla Baker (syn. Ornithogalum teretifolium Manning & Goldblatt) is native to the Eastern Cape and the eastern part of the Western Cape. According to Elsa Pooley in her book Mountain Flowers, this species is found in crevices of rock sheets and gravel and silt patches on rock sheets, in seasonally waterlogged areas in the Drakensberg Mountains. Flowers resemble Albuca humilis. See the full description of this species when it was published. The widely grown Albuca 'Augrabies Hills' probably belongs to this species.
The photos below were taken by Nhu Nguyen of a form from Willowmore, South Africa. Photos 4-6 show seedpods that resulted from crossing with Albuca 'Augrabies Hills'. Neither of these forms seem to be self fertile.
The photos below were taken by Nhu Nguyen showing a comparison between Albuca 'Augrabies Hills' (left) to the Willowmore form (right). The only noticeable differences between these two forms are the sizes of the flowers. The Willowmore form is larger. Reciprocal crosses between these two forms have been successful.
Albuca pulchra (syn. Ornithogalum pulchrum) is a tall summer growing species distributed from Namibia to Botswana. Photo by Rod Saunders.

Hello everyone!
I'm a recent graduate of 'Interactive Multimedia'. Towards the end of my studies I took a strong interest in motion design and animation. So hopefully I'll be able to starting digging my way into the field soon!
- I'm an avid gamer, recently playing a lot of casual and indie games.
- I also studied music for many years when I was younger, but I find creating cohesive music to be very stressful, which is unfortunate. That said, here are some of my dabblings.
- Longtime user of gaming.stackexchange.com (now 'Arqade').
Sometimes I just sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.

SURING - Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen today announced that the Wisconsin Department of Justice has settled an environmental lawsuit filed in Oconto County Circuit Court. The State of Wisconsin brought this case against Jay Tousey, Tousey Manufacturing Inc., and Gauthier Trucking, Inc., for violations of state laws that prohibit unlicensed transporting, storage, and open burning of solid waste.
The Department of Natural Resources investigated a burn by Jay Tousey, at Tousey Manufacturing, Inc., 925 Main Street, in the Village of Suring. It discovered wood, shingles, and other debris burning in a pit located on the Tousey Manufacturing property. The burn pit also contained a mattress, tin cans, turbine vent, wiring, light bulbs, and beer bottles. Gauthier Trucking, a licensed Solid Waste Transporter, removed demolition debris from razed buildings at 603 and 611 Main Street in the Village of Suring, and hauled it to Tousey Manufacturing. Tousey Manufacturing did not have a license from DNR to treat, process or store solid waste.
Jay Tousey and Tousey Manufacturing, Inc., agreed to pay penalties, costs and attorney fees totaling $6,000 for these violations, as did Gauthier Trucking, Inc.
"The Department of Justice will continue to work with the Department of Natural Resources to ensure that Wisconsin's air pollution and solid waste laws are followed," said Van Hollen.
Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Mary Batt represented the state. Oconto Circuit Court Judge Michael T. Judge approved the settlements.
