Earth Day is Today! April 22, 2012.
Each year concerns for economic, environmental, agricultural, and health of our planet and its inhabitants continues to grow. The impacts of our current ways of life are pervasive and potentially pose a threat to the viability of Earth. Fortunately for us the problem solvers are abundant; they are you and me, plus everyone we know.
A combination of social media interactions, action within the community, and personal decisions are catalysts for exponential real time change. The Earth Day Network has invited all citizens to participate in exciting events, news, activities, and endeavors to Mobilize the Earth in honor of Earth Day:
Calculate Your Foot Print
The Earth Day Network Footprint Calculator is a nifty interactive tool giving you insight into your personal impact on the planet, just by living your life the way you do now. I thoroughly enjoyed donning orange spikey hair for my test run.
Campaign for Communities
Formerly known as the Global Day of Conversation, this is the hallmark of the Earth Day endeavor. This year's aim is to involve leaders and elected officials in 2,000 communities around the world in discussions with citizens on the logistics of creating a green economy and sustainable future.
College and University students around the world raise awareness on their campuses and take action on environmental issues between March 29 – April 29th 2012.
During the four week long competition, students mobilize their schools to engage in as many carbon footprint reducing "acts of green" as they can.
All acts will be counted toward the Earth Day Network's Billion Acts of Green initiative, spanning a worldwide community of change agents.
A Billion Acts of Green
As the name suggests, this mobilization intitiative aims to record one billion acts of kindness before the June 2012 Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. People are encouraged to submit their act of green online, which will be included in a real time counter. The goal is to demonstrate to leaders participating in the Summit that one billion people around the world are willing to be counted as active participants in global change for a brighter future.
Thinking about what you could do to Mobilize your Green today?
Whether it is morning, noon, or evening as you read this in your part of the world, there are many things you can do to mobilize toward saving the planet. The following are additional ways to continue crafting our planet's story of recovery while celebrating a beautiful Earth Day with friends and loved ones!

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan, April 16, 1997 Rosalba Kuiroz and Rosetta Honaker work at the Joint Services Family Shelter near here. Kadena Air Base contracts with the shelter to help military spouses and children who become victims of abuse.
The women landed the jobs after first holding down volunteer positions. They said military spouses looking for meaningful outlets on Okinawa should give volunteerism a try. Master Sgt. Dennis Andis, deputy director of the Kadena family support center, agrees.
"Volunteering is a great way for family members to become involved in the community and frequently leads to paid positions," Andis said. Both appropriated and nonappropriated fund jobs are plentiful on the island, he said. "I don't know of many families stationed here who couldn't use the extra income."
That's especially true for those who live off base. Rosetta and her husband, Senior Airman Johnny Honaker, 18th Maintenance Squadron, have lived on the economy since they arrived a little more than a year ago. "We're 15th on the base housing waiting list," she said, "and should be able to move on base in about three months."
While they wait for base housing, the Honakers must shell out more than their housing allowance for rent each month. Her income has helped them live comfortably, but for those without the additional resources, there often isn't a lot left over for extras such as going to movies and dining out.
Spouses accompanying their military sponsor to Okinawa also can take advantage of hundreds of college courses available on base, said Rosalba, whose husband, Staff Sgt. Manuel Kuiroz, is assigned to the 18th Communications Squadron. "The government pays 50 percent of the tuition, and the courses are half the average length of normal semesters. A lot of people get their degrees while they're here."
Finding personal outlets is important for spouses, Rosalba said, particularly when their military sponsors deploy for exercises and operations off the island. "If you don't have anything to do, you're probably going to call home a lot, and that can get very expensive," she said. In fact, Rosalba and Rosetta both "call" home more frequently by using e-mail on their home computers. "It's just another way you can save money and not feel isolated from your families and friends back in the states," Rosetta said.
Andis said every DoD spouse arriving on Okinawa should make it a point to visit the Kadena family support center. "We're an Air Force unit, but we cater to everyone, regardless of service affiliation," he said. "Whether they're interested in taking courses, volunteering or just meeting other spouses this is a good place to start."

"You can make this okay," the TV therapist, who at the request of her family briefly visited Spears while she was in the hospital, says in a message to the pop star that is posted on ETonline.com. "Your family loves you. You may not always agree with what they say, with what they do but they've loved you when you weren't lovable. Turn to the people that love you and listen. You have two children and you are the one in this world to protect them. There is no sacrifice that [your mother Lynne] won't make for you, and there is no sacrifice that your father won't make. They are the people that want nothing from you, and everything for you."
McGraw, a longtime Spears family friend, had planned to do a show about Britney's condition and "the very serious issues surrounding this case. [But] because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family, I have made the decision not to move forward with the taping at this particular time," he announced Monday.
Still, he advises via Entertainment Tonight, "She needs to be in treatment, she needs to be in in-patient care for a period of time. Is she having a rough time right now? Yes she is. Why? I'm not really going to go into that at this point. But I can tell you this is a good person and I truly believe she'll get back to being a good person."
As for the criticism McGraw has encountered over his stepping into the Britney situation, particularly in the tabloids and on blogs, he hurls the brick right back.
"They are waiting for her next meltdown. These are the people that are stalking her and they want to criticize me for trying to help her, for trying to bring help to her in cooperation with the family that loves her. Get real," he says. "Somebody needs to step up and get this young woman in to some quality care – and I do not apologize one whit, not one second, for trying to make that happen."
'Needs to Be in Treatment'Expanding upon the statements released earlier, McGraw said of Spears on Monday's The Insider and, later, on Entertainment Tonight, "What I'm hoping is to get her some help."
Of the star's general situation, McGraw, who likened getting into visit Spears at Cedar-Sinai Medical Center to getting into Fort Knox, says, "She needs less publicity, not more ... She doesn't need to be on television. She needs to be in treatment, she needs to be in in-patient care for a time."
Spears, 26, was hospitalized early the morning of Jan. 4 under California's "5150 Hold," in which she was deemed a danger to herself or others and could be held for 72 hours for evaluation. But Spears left the hospital on Saturday, well before the 72 hours. Patients can be released early if doctors determine they no longer require treatment or evaluation.
McGraw said what he witnessed visiting Spears in Cedars-Sinai will remain private.
"People forget about Britney for all the time she was a young, talented, delightful woman," said McGraw. "Is she having a rough time right now? Yes, she is. Why? I'm not really going to go into that at this point."

Women's Basketball Game Night: WU to Face Pioneers
SALEM, ORE. -- The Willamette University women's basketball team will host Lewis & Clark College on Jan. 12 at 8 p.m. (PST) in Cone Field House. This is the first of four occasions in which the women will play the second game of the men's and women's doubleheaders during Northwest Conference action. The Bearcat men will square off against the Pioneers at 6 p.m. (PST).
The Bearcats are 2-11 overall and 0-4 in the Northwest Conference. Lewis & Clark is currently 10-3 overall and 4-0 in the NWC.
Last Week's Games
The Bearcats dropped a pair of Northwest Conference games last week. On Jan. 8, WU was defeated by the University of Puget Sound, 76-49. Linfield College pulled out a victory over the Bearcats, 68-55, on Jan. 9.
Willamette vs. Linfield College
Linfield, led by first year head coach Casey Kushiyama, got their first NWC victory of the season at Willamette. Both teams entered the contest at 0-3. The Bearcats and Wildcats played even for most of the first half before Linfield pulled away in the final minutes to gain a thirteen point advantage at halftime.
Despite a strong performance from Alex Zennan (Jr., G, Sammamish, WA/Eastlake HS), the Bearcats were never able to recover from Linfield's late first half run. The two teams played even in the second half, each scoring 32 points.
Zennan finished the game with 27 points, six rebounds and six steals. She knocked down seven three pointers during the game, tying the school record for three pointers made in a single game.
Not to be overlooked, Keilyn Fujioka (Jr., P, Kailua, HI/Iolani School) added twelve points, shooting 5-9 from the field. She also had six rebounds and five blocked shots.
Willamette vs. University of Puget Sound
Once again, it was two runs by the opponent that doomed the Bearcats. The Loggers ended the first half with a 14-4 run to take a 38-25 lead at halftime.
Willamette battled back in the second half, taking advantage of an injury to Puget Sound standout Claire Ely, and cut the lead to just four points with fourteen minutes to play. However, once Ely returned from the training room, the Bearcats could not hang with the Loggers. Puget Sound won the game 76-49.
Fujioka shot 7-11 from the field and finished with 17 points. She also added nine rebounds. Erin Barclay (Jr., G, Snohomish,WA/Bothell HS) contributed nine points on 4-8 shooting. Zennan finished with twelve points.
Ely scored 26 points for the Loggers. She continues to lead the NWC in scoring.

Tuition and fees will increase for undergraduate and graduate students at Oklahoma State University under the new budget approved Friday by the Oklahoma A&M Board of Regents.
The nearly $1.1 billion budget includes $238.5 million in state appropriations, a 1.28 percent increase in state funding from fiscal year 2012. The budget must be approved by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education, and, if approved, will take effect July 1.
Tuition and mandatory fees for in-state undergraduate students will rise 2.8 percent, about $200 a year for full-time students taking 30 hours. Currently, tuition is about $7,400 a year for full-time, in-state undergrads, OSU said. Tuition for in-state graduate students will go up 6.5 percent, about $400 a year.

Winter is finally over and spring is officially here! The sun is out and temperatures are rising. It's going to be 80 degrees in New York City today and we couldn't be happier to see the sunlight after so many cold and dreary months. To celebrate the return of sunlight and sunshine and general good cheer, we've put together a playlist of our favorite songs (including tracks from Weezer, Lily Allen, Natasha Bedingfield and Stevie Wonder) that look on the "sunny" side of life.
Labor Day has passed and the long days are waning, books and brown bag lunches packed, and it must be that time of the year again: back to school. And your parents are right — even if you spent your summer learning guitar chords and growing out your hair so that you might be a rock star one day, it wouldn't be un-rock star like to hit the books hard, too. After all, plenty of artists have put in the work to earn their degree (or degrees) just in case.

By now, OK Go's creative video aptitude has likely made its way to your world in one way or another. Be it through your TV screen via their 2006 VMA reinactment of the attention-grabbing treadmill dance from "Here It Goes Again," or more recently, through your inbox via either of the one-shot versions of "This Too Shall Pass," pooch-friendly "White Knuckles,"or kaleidoscope-esque "All Is Not Lost," it's becoming clear that the visuals they cook up seem to continuously out-do the last. So naturally, when we got word that they'd be collaborating with The Muppets, we didn't know what kind of madness to expect.
Muppets: The Green Album hit stores today, and besides OK Go, also features artists like Weezer, The Fray and My Morning Jacket, all covering Muppet classics that we know and love. Batting first, OK Go kick-off the album with the "Muppet Show Theme Song" and synchronized with the album's release, liberated a video for the lively collaboration earlier today. Piggy-backing on throwback visuals from the band's previous viral hits, the colorful clip shows some (adorable) intermingling with the entire cast of characters, and reeks of childhood-awakening, make-you-smile potential. Go ahead: press play and don't act like you forgot about the most sen-sational, in-spir-ational, celeb-rational, Muppet-ational show that life has to offer.
Each Friday here on the VH1 Blog, our VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown host Jim Shearer (@jimshearer on Twitter) will be sharing his Shearer?s Spotlight with us.

If you?re not watching the USA vs. Japan Women?s World Cup finals match this Sunday at 2 p.m., I don?t think we can be friends (unless, of course, you have a really good excuse).
Here are three songs that will be included on my pre-game playlist:
?Ridin? Solo,? Jason Derulo
I?m sending this one out to USA?s Hope Solo. I decided to go with this Jason Derulo tune, because in sports, you always pin your hopes on your star player, and ?ride? them through the finals. And because Solo plays the lonely position of goalkeeper, she is ?ridin? solo? in many ways. For any of you taking this song title out of a sports context and bringing it into, say, the bedroom; shame on you, what a dirty mind you have.

Mark V. Coggeshall, Ph.D.
Assistant Research Professor
- Phone: 573-884-1777
- E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Address: 203P Anheuser-Busch Natural Resources Building
- Ph.D. 2008, University of Missouri Columbia
- Development of improved nut tree cultivars for use in agroforestry-based systems
- Hardwood tree improvement
Research Summary
Coggeshall's current research is focused on temperate agroforestry practices that emphasize both environmental service benefits as well as economic returns derived from the production of specialty crops. For example, identifying the genetic basis for flood tolerance among a range of hard mast producing tree species can provide significant environmental benefits for the establishment of new riparian buffers. In terms of specialty crops, he has developed an applied breeding program for eastern black walnut that is focused on the genetic improvement of a range of commercially important nut production characteristics. Additionally, he has initiated applied research programs in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Conservation that focus on black walnut timber improvement, shortleaf pine restoration, early fruiting in swamp white oak for wildlife enhancement plantings and the use of flood tolerant oak seedlings for establishing new riparian buffer plantings.

Re: nv30 problem rumor

I heard a rumor second hand that there has been a problem while trying to go from tapeout to first silicon with the nv30. What I heard is that there is currently a delay that could last from 2 weeks to 5 months depending on the severity of the problem. 2 weeks is basically TSMC has an easy to fix problem in their .13 process. 5 months is there is a flaw in the .13 process or a flaw in the nv30 design that would require a full workaround. This would force nvidia to go though the entire tapeout process again.
My thoughts on this is that this corresponds to another rumor that TSMC has told it's major customers recently not to tapeout any chips based on the .13 process since they are currently diagnosing an issue with it.
Also I think the stock option deal nvidia offered their employees a week ago could be seen as a way of trying to keep it's employees happy even if the much hyped nv30 is having problems. Though I'm pretty sure if they were acting on info they had about the nv30 that hasn't been released to stockholders this would be considered illegal since they are basically trading stock (or options in this case) with inside information (ie insider trading). But I definenlty don't know all the laws on this so I'm just adding this part on as food for thought if the first rumor turns out to be true.
I sure hope none of this is true because some competition for ATI at the high end would be a good thing.
Yeah I heard this....like 5 months ago or something???

Converse Mayor Pro Tem Randy Pannell announced his resignation during the city's Feb. 4 council meeting, citing "a dysfunctional council" as the primary reason for his departure.
Pannell's resignation follows the Jan. 13 departure of Roy Schauffele, president of the city's Economic Development Corp.
Pannell read his letter to council prior to its move into executive session, but participated in the session, where council members considered four items — among them, deliberation on the employment status of City Manager Shawna Burkhart.
When the council returned to its public session, it acted on two of the four items it had taken up in the closed meetings, but not the city manager review.
"I am very grateful for having the opportunity to serve on the council for the past three years and nine months, and I offer my best wishes for its continued success," Pannell wrote diplomatically in his letter.
Pannell, contacted Friday, cited what he called "a dysfunctional council and ... lack of leadership" as the primary reason for his departure.
"Years ago, I called out the Judson School Board for being dysfunctional. And now, I sit on a dysfunctional board," he said. "I decided I no longer wanted to be a part of that."
Pannell was first elected in 2010, defeating incumbent Jim Sherman. Pannell was reelected in 2012.
Prior to Pannell's departure, the council took a first look at a certificate of obligation package that contained several items that had been on the backburner for months.
Among the items that the council will have to prioritize will be the Union Pacific Railroad utility relocation, with pump station, $544,377; the Judson Valley/Astoria Place lift station, $166,000; a meter replacement program, $1.575 million; the purchase of 850 acre-feet of water, $4.335 million; the purchase of a new ambulance, $200,000; and two new police cars, totaling $84,000.
The price tag that Burkhart handed to council for all items discussed was $10,164,377.

Before signing your tax return and sending it to the IRS, use this checklist to spot potential mistakes on your IRS Form 8829 Expenses for Business Use of Your Home.
[ ] Line 1: Is the number on this line less than line 2? If so, it means you didn't use all the rooms in your home on a regular basis for your business. Is this true? You can use a room as regular use if you use it two-three times per week for business purposes.
If you didn't use all your rooms regularly for your business, be sure that you have included all possible areas on lines 1 and 2, including your porch, detached garage, and deck. Don't count outdoor space such as a back yard or patio.
[ ] Line 5: If you were not in business for all of 2013, cross out the number typed on this line (8,760) and enter the number of hours there were in that part of the year you were in business.
For example, if you started your business on April 1, 2013, there were 6,600 hours (275 days x 24 hours each day) in the year between April 1st and December 31st. Enter 6,600 on line 5. Then only enter your house expenses that you incurred after April 1st on this form.
This is the beginning of an article I've posted on childcareinfo.com. Read further for six more tips on reviewing your Form 8829 to make sure you (or your tax preparer) haven't made any mistakes.

Rivaroxaban for Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolism
Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) is an oral anticoagulant for the treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and/or pulmonary embolism (PE), and to reduce the risk of recurrence of DVT and PE following initial treatment. Rivaroxaban is the first and only oral anticoagulant approved to treat DVT and PE without the need for injections or routine blood monitoring, and has the broadest profile of any of the new oral anticoagulants in the U.S. market today or coming to market in the foreseeable future.
Rivaroxaban provides a single-drug treatment option from the moment of diagnosis through the completion of therapy, and in the initial treatment phase, it can cut a patient's risk of major bleeding by nearly half.
Rivaroxaban is approved to treat patients with DVT or PE at a dose of 15 mg twice daily for three weeks, followed by 20 mg once daily for the remaining treatment period. Rivaroxaban is also approved to reduce the risk of recurrence of DVT and PE at a dose of 20 mg once daily following an initial six months of treatment for acute venous thromboembolism.
Rivaroxaban is broadly reimbursed for more than 90 percent of commercial and Medicare health plan members, with the majority covered at the lowest branded co-pay. To date, more than 2.5 million patients have received rivaroxaban worldwide and more than 760,000 prescriptions have been written for rivaroxaban in the United States.
Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. holds U.S. marketing rights for Xarelto, and is supported by the Bayer HealthCare U.S. sales force in designated hospital accounts.

SHREWSBURY, Mass. – Shrewsbury school officials are looking ahead to the coming budget process, and want to plan for what looks like a difficult year.
The board and Superintendent Joseph Sawyer agreed Wednesday to identify their budget needs as soon as possible. Board Chair Erin Canzano asked administrators to provide the committee with a preliminary budget gap forecast.
Meanwhile, Shrewsbury schools are dealing with the repercussions of the current budget and its $2.5 million gap. The loss of 16 teaching positions means crowded classrooms, especially in grades four through eight.
The athletic program is facing a $70,000 gap. That could be exacerbated by the cancellation of night games because of fears over the mosquito-borne EEE virus.
"The task in front of us is how to navigate through the upcoming budget process, to think about restoring, not reducing," said Canzano.
Sawyer said he wants to raise $2.5 million from different sources, including a capital campaign, philanthropic support and sponsorship, to close the budget gap.
"I'm optimistic, but its still a sobering reality that we face," Sawyer said.
Board member B. Dale Magee warned that parents may show their displeasure by moving their kids out of the district and into charter schools or other public schools through the school choice program.
"If we make things too tight, too undesirable ... it will make a bad situation worse," Magee said.
"We need to sustain what we have and we need to bring back what we've lost," Vice Chairman John R. Samia said. "We have a finite amount of resources and we need to make some tough decisions."

Thirteen local young adults may lose their homes by the end of the month, if money does not come in ---and soon.
Most of them are women with kids. women like Erin Rusnak and her two year old daughter Cadence-- who both face losing the roof over their heads. The two were homeless and didn't have anyone."I moved here, and I was working, I but didn't have anywhere to go for cadence and I," Rusnak tells us.
That was before she became one of the 18 participants of the Community Works Transitional Living Program."Just hearing we could have an apartment was a huge relief off my shoulders," she continues.
The local agency, uses government funding to help provide subsidized housing for local youth ages 16 to 21. The participants must be enrolled in school or working to be eligible.
"Not alot of people believe in us," Rusnak says. "And when someone does it takes a lot of stress off us."
Currently 13 of them, 3 pregnant women, and 8 with kids, like Erin - face the losing the roof over their heads and going back on the streets.
"Unfortunately, we've had to give our youth notice that they may have to leave their apartments within 30 days," Director of Community Works, Ginger Lee, tells us.
She says the Department of Health and Human services which normally funds the program, has seen recent cutbacks. The changes means her organization often doesn't know if grant money is on it's way. "We were hoping we would get a letter in the mail to let us know if we got it or not," Lee tells us.
At this point they don't know if they will be able to sustain the program any longer.
That delay meaning Erin and Cadence will lose their home within the next 30 days when funds dry up.
"Not a lot of us have anywhere to go. If it was just me, I probably wouldn't be as worried, but it's not, I have cadence. It's a lot scarier. It's really scary," Rusnak says.
If you want to help...grab a pen and paper---here's the information for a donation account set up at People's Bank ---all checks payable to community works tlp account.
The information is on your screen. i'll also post a link on facebook and my story on our website

Let's the cooking begin.
(For optimal results, marinate overnight or so. I just make it in the morning and then cook it at dinner time. Just letting you know.)
Step 1: Ingredients
3 Tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 boneless chicken breast halves, cut in small strips.
Salt and pepper to taste. (Screw that I can already taste it.)
For the actual meal:
Noodles, I recommend Hokkien noodles.
Step 2: Mix & Slice
Step 3: Prep for later.
I used beans, capsicum, carrot and spinach, but you can add in anything you want really. I quickly semi-steamed the vegetables to take the crunch out of them for later.
Step 4: Cook off the chicken.
Spray a pan, turn on the stovetop, and cook. Cut the chicken in half to test whether it's cooked, it should look whiteish.
The chicken in the picture is indeed, not cooked.
Step 5: Last Step!
Throw them into a preheated wok sprayed or oiled. Make sure they're all separated too. Add in your vegetables and your meat and give it a good mix through. Looks a bit dry? Yeah, that's likely. Get some soy sauce to moisten it up.
Serve & Enjoy.
One note, though - you mention using capsicum; what you have pictured is a red bell pepper. While the term capsicum actually covers a broad range of more or less the entire pepper family, it is most commonly used (at least, in the Americas) to refer to a Chili Pepper.
In any case, while you're not wrong in using a generic term, it could confuse some people so you may want to use the more specific name of the ingredient...
However, in my country of residence (Australia), a red bell pepper is referred to as a 'capsicum'. Interestingly, a 'pepper' usually refers to a Chili in Australia.
Sake also is used to give it another flavour sometimes and help cook vegetables faster.
My own personal version adds a bit of sushizu (rice vinegar) to give it a mellower wider flavour.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve at the back of your eye. This can cause vision loss. Although the cause of glaucoma isn't clear, experts think it's often related to a buildup of pressure in the eye.
Glaucoma can be easily detected during regular eye examinations. It usually responds well to treatment with medicine.

The design of the Brainwave Sofa is driven by a brain scan. Brain wave activities are being recorded by an electroencephalograph by placing electrodes on the bare skin on the head. Via BioExplorer, a computer program that records biophysical data, processes and visualises it, a three dimensional waved landscape is generated. The x-axis shows the brain wave activities in hertz. The Y-axis shows the amount of activity in percentage. The Z-axis is the time expressed in milliseconds.
Dutch industrial designer Lucas Maassen, co-designer of the Brainwave Sofa with Belgian designer Dries Verbruggen (of Unfold), had his brain activity measured at the EPI (Eindhoven Psychology Institute) while he closed his eyes for 3 seconds. The moment a person closes his eyes, during this measurement, the Alpha-activity becomes 8 to 12 Hertz larger. This Alpha-activity prepares the brain for multiplication of the visual stimuli when the eyes are opened again. Such a measurement creates a 3D Landscape of (brain)waves, which looks different with every measurement. This three dimensional form, in other words is a unique display.
Image Courtesy of Unfold & Lucas Maassen
This capturing of a person's brain activity in a visual three dimensional fashion is how the Brainwave Sofa has come to exist in it's shape. The Sofa is created by a five axis computer numerical controlled (CNC) machine, which makes it possible to create a three dimensional object out of foam.
The process is a wink to a rather futuristic design process, for which a designer merely has to close his or her eyes, or merely rest, to have the brain do all the work, and create the data needed to have the CNC machine cut the shape of the sofa. Once the sofa has been cut it is upholstered by hand with a warm-grey felt fabric, which is finished by padding the "valleys" of the brain waves with buttons. This finishing touch refers to the traditional making of sofas.

Georgia Department of Community Affairs representative Lynn Ashcraft said she was checking with the USDA about the possibility of a grant. She said some of the other counties she represents have moved and/or renovated their depots, and she is looking into how they funded the project.
Ashcraft said she has been talking with DCA Design Studio Manager Carmine Fischetti and suggested setting a date for him to visit Gray.
DDA member Bert King asked Ashcraft how the authority would go about designating an area as blighted, and she said the city would have to take the first step. The benefit of a blighted area is more state and federal grants are available for improvements.
Councilman David Tufts said, after the property has been identified, the owners would be given an opportunity to improve their property before it would be designated as blighted.
Main Street Gray Manager Jennifer Baggarly said Forsyth adopted a policy of increasing taxes on blighted properties to cover the cost of having to deal with them.

Dirty jobs
It was getting late in the day Monday and I was roaming, trying to find an interesting photograph of our community and noticed a crowd of cars at Eastmont County Park. Children were at the fourplex practicing with their coaches and teammates so I wandered over, introduced myself to a coach and began photographing batters as they took mighty swings at the ball being thrown to them by a machine.
A couple of times I noticed the catcher getting sprayed by dirt as the ball would hit the ground in front of him so I moved to a spot where he would be backlit and the dirt being sprayed up would show a little better. I ended up waiting through several hitters, waiting for a batter who would miss, letting the ball get back to the catcher.
Finally, the catcher was engulfed in a cloud of dirt and dust as a ball came low and hit the dirt. I knew I could have something good because his mother started laughing as the catcher knocked dirt from his helmet. Looking through the images, I picked one where the ball had thrown a line of dirt directly into the catcher's face.

Creative Labs Annihilator2 Review - FastTrax Drivers
Remember what I was saying about support? Creative got tired of letting NVIDIA's reference driver updates run on their cards. Their support staff decided to create FastTrax drivers which can be quickly changed to incorporate updated reference drivers.
With FastTrax, you get the Display Director. It's a driver setting interface which launches from the system tray. Instead of having to navigate NVIDIA's reference driver properties to enable FSAA in OpenGL, Display Director provides access to the same settings in two or three mouse clicks.
Display Director
System Information
OpenGL System Information
Gamma Correction
As you can see, there is no shortage of information or features with the FastTrax drivers. Let's take a look at Direct 3D, OpenGL and AGP settings.
Direct3D Settings
OpenGL Settings
AGP Settings
The FastTrax drivers and Display Director give full reference driver functionality in a user friendly interface. Especially those of us that change settings more often than our underwear(?). Tweaks become painless and, in fact, I found myself playing with settings when using the Fast Trax drivers just because it was so easy. The AGP settings default to AGP 2X mainly because Creative expects FastTrax users to be more savvy than the average Best Buy shopper. (Notice the Disclaimer, though.)
Annihilator2 Clock Settings
I've been able to get the Annihilator2 to 235MHz core and 386MHz memory speeds, which I set using Display Director. You may notice that the maximum clock settings are on the conservative side. But, if you're feeling adventurous, double click on the 220 next to the core clock slider and you get the following window to pop up:
Overclocking Thresholds
Use this window to change your maximum settings. After some adjusting, my overclocking sliders look like this:
Modified Overclocking Thresholds
You're now ready to push the limits of the Annihilator2.
On the following page, I'll give some of my experiences with the Annihilator2 thur far and sum up this section of the review with what's to come.

Read Poems by
Miriam Garcia
There is victory singing and joy
When a girl our a boy
Come's to the lord and is saved
The angle's rejoice and you hear the voice
Of the lord
The holy spirit touch's you from head to toe
Your mouth start's to sing praise's
Your hand's start to clap and wave
Your feet start to dance
The love of Jesus will change you
The blood of Jesus save's you
The angles' of Jesus will surround you
And guide you
The hand's of Jesus will prepare you
For battle against evil
The full armor of Jesus will protect you
There is victory when a lost sheep is found
When the smallest tree is given water
To grow
There is victory when hope and faith is restored
There is victory when the broken can be fixed
There is victory when all can come in his name
To worship
There is victory in Jesus name

Colin Farrell is coming clean about his past with alcohol abuse, and admits he would have died if he did not quit drinking.
"I'd been drinking since I was 14," said Colin. "I was pretty sick. At the beginning of recovery I found it really hard.
"For me there was no choice. It was tough but I was dying. I was struggling not to have a complete meltdown. I was just gone. I'm glad I'm out of that cycle, I'm very lucky," he said.
Wow that's pretty intense stuff, we're glad he made it through recovery and is enjoying life substance free now.

This Week… starting December 12, 2011
Municipal Fiestas This Week
Tekax Fiesta: December 8 through December 15
This fiesta is in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Tekax is the relatively large municipality that occupies the southern point of the State of Yucatan. If you are looking for the work of local artisans, in Tekax, they make leather goods and jewelry, and in Pencuyut, they make hamacas (hammocks). These folks have some of the best groceries and sweets in all of Yucatan, so grazing your way through this festival is a "must do."
Tizimin Fiesta: December 15 through January 10
This is a huge fiesta in the heart of Yucatan's horse country. Visit the Tizimin Website to see loads of pictures of this great area. Tizimin is that large municipality that borders the Gulf of Mexico and Quintana Roo, as well as extending far into the interior of the State. This gives this municipality access to all of the best of the entire peninsula. Their fiestas are always "must attend" events.
Tixpéual: December 17 through December 20
This is the annual "County Fair" of this municipality. Tixpéual is bordered on the north by Tixkokob, on the south by Kanasin and Acanceh, on the east by Seye and Tixkokob, and on the west by Kanasin and Merida. Did somebody say "location-location-location?" Tixpéual is one of those places where, when you tell folks you live "in a village on the Yucatan Peninsula," you neglect to add that it is practically in sight of the city. We hope you take a look at this little municipality. Great things are coming from here in the not too distant future.

Windows 7
Exploring Windows 7
Will Windows 7 improve my computer's performance?
As previously mentioned, Microsoft is promoting that Windows 7 is designed to:
- Decrease Start up and Shutdown times by 20 seconds
- Go to Sleep and Resume faster
- Use up less memory
- Pop up Search results faster
- Reconnect to your wireless network more quickly
- Recognize USB devices faster
This is promising news, because slow wait time appeared to be one of the chief complaints regarding Windows Vista. Windows 7 also saves time by not booting up various devices during Start Up unless they are currently being used. In other words, if you are not using a Bluetooth device when you start the computer Windows 7 will not waste time by running that program in the background; it will wait until you have plugged it in.
However, performance tests of Windows 7 indicate that actual improvements vary and depend greatly on the conditions of your specific computer and the programs you are running. We will go into more detail regarding your computer's ability to run Windows 7 in future lessons.
For more information, see the PC World Windows 7 Performance Tests or PC Mag Windows 7 vs. XP Performance articles.

In celebration of Becca and Angela at The Bookshelf Muse's release of The Emotion Thesaurus here is Laura's post celebrating kindness. I would like to randomly shout out to Laura who has recently published a short story called City of Light and Stone and next year her YA Dystopian Endure will be published, so exciting!
Laura has grown so much in the last year, shedding her cat avatar and looking super awesome and professional. Her blog is great fun and very useful, she thoroughly deserves this shout out.
Thanks to Mike and Lauri for the Versatile blogger award. Lauri passed it on to everyone I would have picked so I'm giving it to everyone on my blogroll (honestly everyone not no one).
If you want to read a fun story about a snake and my tramp adventure, read this old post. (updated!)

Introduced by Orlando Figes
Illustrated by Peter Suart
One of our members' most requested titles, The Master and Margarita is a work of dark humour and lyrical force that became a beacon of optimism and freedom in Russia and the rest of the world.
Published price: US$ 75.95
'Well, as everyone knows, once witchcraft gets started, there's no stopping it'
On a hot spring afternoon in Moscow, a poet and an editor are discussing the non-existence of Jesus. A polite, foreign gentleman interrupts their debate, claiming to have known Jesus in person and to have been present when he was condemned by Pontius Pilate. Moreover, he predicts the editor's death – a bizarre accident which happens exactly as the foreigner foretells. The Devil has arrived in Moscow and, along with his demons and a large black cat, he carves a trail of chaos and destruction through Soviet society. He exposes the hypocrisy and greed of those around him, their willingness to inform on neighbours, their urgent scrabble for power and their fear for themselves. One man seems different: a writer known as 'the master' who, in despair, has burned his unpublished novel about Pontius Pilate and has been incarcerated in an asylum. His lover, the passionate, courageous Margarita, will do anything to save him – including serving the Devil himself.
'This book is absorbing, brilliant slapstick, and looks deep into the heart of fantasy and longing'
Writing The Master and Margarita in secret between 1928 and 1940, through the period of Stalin's purges, Bulgakov was already deemed anti-Soviet; his plays were banned, and he had few illusions that anyone would publish this highly satirical work. Like his main character, he destroyed a draft in despair. Yet, as the Devil tells the master, in a phrase which went on to become a watchword of hope: 'Manuscripts don't burn'. In 1966-7, more than 25 years after Bulgakov's death, The Master and Margarita was published with relatively minor cuts. Smuggled past the censors, its subversive message, dark humour and lyrical force combined to make it an instant success and a beacon of optimism and freedom that spread through Russia and the world. Peter Suart's dramatic illustrations provide a fitting accompaniment to what is one of our members' most requested titles.
'One of the blazing masterpieces of the 20th century'

Will Mad Men's Roger and Joan End Up Together? John Slattery Says…
Mad Men's Roger (John Slattery) and Joan (Christina Hendricks) have a secret baby together — and they are finally both single at the same time — but that doesn't necessarily mean they will get together together, beyond their recurring hookups.
"They understand each other, as seen in a bunch of different scenes, but I don't think that means that they can live together — or want to," Slattery told Zap2it. "I mean, who knows, there's a million reasons why you're not actually with the person you're meant to be with."
Hmm. Zap2it also delved into Roger doing nothing about "Red" basically selling herself for a client on Season 5. "People were surprised that Roger didn't intervene," Slatter said. "I think Joan's probably done the same for less before, you know?" Dang, Roger! "There was a flashback, I forget what season, with Roger and Joan where she — you know, it's an affair but — where he gives her a fur. This was just a moral transaction that everybody was aware of and then seemed that much worse."
Huh. Slattery continued, "They've never really been overtly together anyway, so I think that for Roger it was like, what am I going to tell her not to do it? On what grounds? This is something that could set her up for the rest of her life, and again it's probably something that — if those two are straight with each other, which they are most of the time -- you would say you've probably done this for something [less valuable], so I see why you would entertain the idea."
But Joan had feelings for Roger. It was her choice to be with Roger on her own terms, not put up for sale the way she was by the men in the office. And the guy she had to sleep with was so creepy and never cared about anything but her body. At least Roger and Joan have come to care about each other as people, not just as a beautiful woman and a rich man. But maybe it's too much to ask for Roger to instantly transform into Prince Charming to swoop in and tell Joan he loves her and will save her from having to sell herself. This isn't Pretty Woman.
What do you think? Should Roger and Joan end up together? Do you think Joan has "done the same for less," in terms of her Season 5 partnership deal?

Hill Wins 5th Individual ACC Track Title
April 21, 2012
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Junior All-America Ryan Hill grabbed his fifth career individual title on Saturday by winning the men's 1,500-meter race at Virginia's Lannigan Track on the final day of the ACC Outdoor Championships.
It's the third consecutive year that the Hickory, N.C., native has won an individual outdoor title at the conference meet. In his first two seasons, Hill took back-to-back titles in the 10,000 meters. This is his first title in the 1,500 meters.
Hill's five individual titles are the sixth most in school history, behind Danny Peebles (9), Bob Medlin and Mike Patton (7), Kevin Braunskill and Gus Young (6). Four others also have won five individual titles.
Hill has also twice anchored the Wolfpack's ACC-champion distance medley relay teams and won the 2011 ACC cross country title, giving him a combined total of eight league championships in his three years with the Pack.
The Wolfpack also earned All-ACC honors in the men's and women's discus on Saturday, as senior Brittany Hampton of Monroe, N.C., took third in the women's event and sophomore Nathaniel Williams of Newport, N.C., was second in the men's. It was the first All-ACC honors for both.
The Wolfpack men finished seventh in the team race, while the women were eighth.
Others who scored in Saturday's final day of competition include senior Andie Cozzarelli in the 5,000 meters, sophomore Kenyetta Iyevbele and Tiayonna Blackmon in the women's 800 meters, redshirt freshmen Tremanisha Taylor in the women's discus, redshirt freshman Jule Rich and Grant Pearce in the men's discus, junior Kris Kornegay-Gober in the men's high jump, sophomore Lacey Shuman in the women's high jump and senior Kwame Boatwright in the men's triple jump.
The men's 4 x 400-meter relay team of Daniel Fretz, Boatwright, Martin DeFrancesco and Kevin Permenter also scored by finishing sixth.
Overall in the three-day event, the Wolfpack produced one champion and six All-ACC performers, listed below.

Chestnut holds hot dog recordBy JULIE WALKER
The Associated Press | July 05,2014AP photo
Joey Chestnut raises his trophy in the air after winning Nathans Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating contest at Coney Island, Friday in New York. Chestnut finished first by consuming 61 hot dogs and buns.NEW YORK High-ranking chowhound Joey Jaws Chestnut dropped to one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend before Fridays annual hot dog eating contest, then packed away 61 franks and buns to hold onto his coveted mustard yellow winners belt.
The San Jose, Calif., resident fell far short of his record last year of 69 dogs and buns, but he still easily beat second-place finisher Matt Stonie, also of San Jose, who downed 56. Winning was the only option, the newly engaged champion said afterward. I wasnt going to taint today with a loss.
Chestnut took a quick timeout before the annual Nathans Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island to make it official with his longtime girlfriend, Neslie Ricasa, who is also a competitive eater.
In the womens division, defending champion Sonya Black Widow Thomas lost her title to Miki Sudo.
Sudo, of Las Vegas, wolfed down 34 franks and buns. Thomas, of Alexandria, Virginia, devoured 27¾.
Chestnut has won eight times in a row. In 2010, his former rival Takeru Kobayashi refused to sign an exclusive contract with Major League Eating, the food equivalent of the NFL, and was banned from competition.
This year, the Japanese native, nicknamed the Tsunami, competed against five other eaters at a separate event in Manhattan in a quest to down the most hot dogs without buns in 10 minutes. He was victorious in that bun-less eat-off, downing 113 frankfurters, an event spokeswoman said.MORE IN This Just InBy Kathleen Phalen Tomaselli Full StoryBennington College and Middlebury College both top a list for most entrepreneurial colleges in...

Responsibility for the disposition of the remains and all related costs (including but not limited to costs of embalming or cremation, burial expenses, cost of a burial plot or receptacle for ashes, markers, and grave upkeep), rests with the legal representative of the deceased. In the absence of a legal representative (including when the next of kin is not a legal representative), the consular officer should ask the next of kin to provide funds and instructions for disposition of remains. If the consular officer cannot locate a legal representative or next of kin, the consular officer may ask friends or other interested parties to provide the funds and instructions.
(b) Arrangements for the disposition of remains must be consistent with the law and regulations of the host country and any relevant United States laws and regulations. Local law may, for example, require an autopsy, forbid cremation, require burial within a certain period of time, or specify who has the legal authority to make arrangements for the disposition of remains.
