DEXTER Not even three weeks on the job yet, new Superintendent Cammy J. Morrison already is making her mark.
Since her July 1 appointment, she has begun to implement changes to boost peoples perception of the General Brown Central School District and to immerse herself into the school community.
Im here to serve this community and the district, she said Thursday during a visit to the districts summer literacy program at Dexter Elementary School. I have to be out there. I have to know what the strengths and needs are so I can serve the constituents I was hired to serve.
One of the strengths she learned Thursday, she said, is how engaged students are in learning. As Mrs. Morrison read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Trout to more than 30 children, they followed the repetition and recited some key words and phrases with her.
As a reward for following along and behaving, Mrs. Morrison bought each student a pack of new colored pencils. But there was a catch: Although its not required, she requested those students draw pictures or create other artwork to be displayed in her office and throughout the districts three buildings. Other students also may participate, she said. That way, when parents and guardians enter the district office to register their children for school they can see artistic opportunities their children may have.
Mrs. Morrison said all new registrations will take place at the district office for a few reasons: to centralize the process so parents of multiple children dont have to go to different buildings to register, and so she can meet new families.
Another change district residents will see soon is a new venue for board meetings.
Were looking at different locations at the high school so its more intimate and inviting, Mrs. Morrison said. We want to have some meetings one in the fall at each elementary building and one in the spring at each elementary building to give the administrators a chance to showcase their building. Were hopeful that by going to the communities in the buildings that it will make people more comfortable and show them were wanting to do things a bit differently.
Although its daunting going into a new community, Mrs. Morrison said, she is thankful for the warm reception from school staff and community members thus far.
She said she got into education because she loves children. After her introduction to some of them Thursday, Mrs. Morrison said she hopes they are comfortable now saying hello to her in the halls or in their classroom. They also will remember her as the superintendent who sang the alphabet backwards as a treat for them.

Personally, Mozilla is easily the best browser, and the sweetest thing about it is that it is free!
From /. on Monday morning, I say we should forward this to all our friends that have any input in the tech field in their workplace.
Personally, Mozilla is easily the best browser, and the sweetest thing about it is that it is free!
My Website: http://ttgale.com
My Website Uptime: http://img.uptimeprj.com/holastickbo...dee9bae2e2.png
My Server Specs: AMD Athlon X2 3800+, 2gb DDR2 RAM, 1.5TB HDD, Ubuntu 9.10
My Gaming PC: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.93ghz, 4gb DDR2 RAM, 9800GTX+
Definitely. The other great thing about Mozilla (and, to a lesser extent, Open Office) is that some of the better-informed Windows users out there use it as their default browser without having any idea that they're using open source software. There are a number of people at my work who have never used anything but Windows and may or may not have ever heard of Linux that use Mozilla because they're sick of IE (look mom, free pop-up windows!)

Department of Homeland Bureaucracy
The programs, regulations, and laws that define most federal activities are so numerous and complex that it strangles effective governance. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is no exception. During the Hurricane Katrina disaster, DHS officials were in a fog of confusion, overwhelmed by events and all the complicated emergency rules and procedures.
Eric Cantor's Website
My Daily Caller op-ed today looks at the website of a typical modern politician, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY). His site is designed to impress voters and the media in his district with all the federal benefits he has brought home. Maloney is taking a pork and constituent service approach to gaining reelection.
The Modern Politician
Congressional websites are a useful resource to gain insights into today's politics. So let's take a look at the website of Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) to see what we can find out. Maloney was elected just in 2012, but his website reveals that he is a fast learner in the modern ways of Washington.
Student Loan Gifts Don't Help
Today must be student loan day in President Obama's "year of action" – also "year of midterm elections" – as the President announced he will expand eligibility for student loan repayment capping and forgiveness. In addition, this week the Senate is set to take up Elizabeth Warren's (D-MA) bill to federally refinance student loans at lower interest rates, including truly private loans.
Cut Saturday Mail to Fund Highways?
The Highway Trust Fund will be out of money in a few months, mainly because Congress insists on spending more than it takes in. To avert this supposed crisis, Republican leaders are proposing to cut Saturday deliveries of mail and use the savings to replenish the trust fund.
Federal Firing Rate by Department
The VA scandal has prompted a debate about whether it should be easier to fire federal workers. I've argued that the firing rate for poor performance should be increased.
Federal Employment by Department
We've learned about what a huge and dysfunctional agency Veterans Affairs is in recent weeks. I had not realized that the agency added 100,000 workers in just the past seven years.
Highway Bill: Fiscal Reform or Big Government?
If you are interested in financial markets, Cato has an interesting forum tomorrow on bank runs. But if you are more interested in highways and spending, you can catch me at this Heritage forum tomorrow on the Hill.
VA Scandal: Crisis of Big Government
Peggy Noonan's op-ed on the weekend was titled "The VA Scandal Is a Crisis of Leadership." Noonan discusses how President Obama "doesn't do the plodding, unshowy, unromantic work of making government work." Obama is not a good manager, and so scandals like the current one are to be expected.
Privatize Aviation
In discussing one of her main achievements as British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher said, "privatization is at the center of any program of reclaiming territory for freedom." One area where Britain reclaimed a lot of freedom is aviation. Since the 1980s, that nation has privatized airlines, airports, air traffic control, and in some cases airport security screening.

Loudspeaker Consent scheme
Under the Noise and Statutory Noise Act 1993 the City Council may consent to the operation of a loudspeaker in the street.
Consent cannot be granted to use a loudspeaker in any street for the purposes of advertising any entertainment, trade or business or in connection with an election.
When do I need a consent?
If you wish to operate a loudspeaker in the street between the hours of 9pm and 8am the following morning. However a consent shall not be given to the operation of a loudspeaker in connection with any election or for the purpose of advertising any entertainment, trade or business.
If consent is not obtained prior to operation an offence will be committed under the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (unless the exceptions set out below apply when the loudspeaker is in operation): -
The exceptions to the requirement are: -
(a) For police, fire brigade or ambulance purposes, by the environment agency, a water undertaker or a sewerage undertaker in the exercise of any of its functions or by a local authority within its area;
(b) For communicating with persons on a vessel or for the purpose of directing the movement of that or any other vessel;
(c) If the loudspeaker forms part of a public telephone system;
(d) If the loudspeaker -
(i) is in or fixed to a vehicle, and
(ii) is operated solely for the entertainment of or for communicating with the driver or a passenger of the vehicle or, where the loudspeaker is or forms part of the horn or similar warning instrument of the vehicle, solely for giving warning to other traffic, and

(f) By a travelling showman on land which is being used for the purposes of a pleasure fair;
(g) In case of emergency
(h) Section 62 (3) Control of Pollution Act 1974 (ice cream vans)
What if I use a loudspeaker in the street without consent?
If a loudspeaker is operated in the street between 9pm and 8am the following morning without consent OR at any other time for the purposes of advertising any entertainment, trade or business then an offence will have been committed.
Those found guilty of using a loudspeaker illegally in the street are liable to a maximum fine of £5,000 for the first or subsequent offence. The Council is not required to serve an abatement notice and offenders are automatically subject to prosecution.
What is a street?
For the purpose of the legislation "street" means a highway and any other road, footway, square or court, which is for the time being open to the public. If you choose to restrict access to a public highway and any other road, footway, square or court, it continues to be open to the public.
How and when should I apply for a consent?
You should apply for consent in writing (see our Loudspeaker Consent Scheme webpage to download an application for consent). The law requires the Council to determine the applications within 21 days. Please give as much advance notice as possible and note that if the application is made less than 21 days before the event the Council cannot guarantee that the consent will be granted in time.
How much will it cost?
There is no application fee at present, but this will be subject to an annual review.
How are consent applications determined?
Compliance with the Code of Practice on Environmental Noise Control at concerts (this can be downloaded from the Loudspeaker Consent scheme web page) will be used in determining applications for consent. If there are no objections to the application the consent will be granted and a consent document sent to you. The consent may be granted subject to conditions.
Any application giving rise to dispute or difficulty will be referred to Birmingham City Council's Public Protection Committee for determination.
What happens if I withdraw the application or if it is refused?
If you withdraw the application the matter will go no further. If the application is refused there is no right of appeal to a magistrates' court by any person aggrieved by the refusal of consent or by any condition subject to which it is granted.
Where can I get further advice or help?
Telephone on 0121 303 9938 or email email@example.com

After a failed experiment at being a deeply discounted department store, J.C Penney stores are reverting to the old model of using sales events and coupons to draw in customers.
The national retailer will issue more coupons on a weekly basis, but will raise the prices on store merchandise to make the system work. The strategy is a flip-flop from the franchises doomed fair and square campaign launched in 2012 that slashed all prices at its stores but ditched periodic sales and coupons.
Store prices are being hiked back to 2011 levels in an attempt by J.C. Penney Co. to rebound from a $552 million fourth-quarter loss. For example, the New York Post reported Tuesday that a pair of Nike swim trunks priced at $25 had been bumped to $45. And womens apparel is expected to be on sale for 20 to 25 percent off most of the time under the plan, compensating for the higher prices.
J.C. Penney, whose north country presence is anchor stores at Salmon Run Mall in Watertown and St. Lawrence Centre mall in Massena, began raising prices in February, the start of its 2013 fiscal year.
Sales events already have been reintroduced to catch the attention of shoppers, Watertown store manager Daniel B. Cotton said. The store began mailing coupons to customers enrolled in its J.C. Penney charge program in February and has advertised its sales in fliers in Northern New York Newspaper Corp. publications, but raised prices on merchandise at the same time. It has offered four sales in March.
Last year we went through a price structure change to offer lower everyday prices, and the customers told us they didnt like that as much as getting coupons and sales, Mr. Cotton said. We are returning to pricing models the company used before we went through a pricing structure change.
Some customers enjoyed seeing consistently lower prices at the store last year, Mr. Cotton said. But the company ultimately decided that offering sales would bring in more revenue. We had many comments where people loved the fact they didnt have to figure anything out and (saved) by paying at the regular price, he said. But if you look at what the industry does, its obvious that customers have told us that they miss the coupons and sales.

They didn't actually. The algorithm used in q3 was different and somewhat inferior. You can still use this algorithm by setting cg_zoomSensitivity to 0. It is:If that's correct, I was wondering how ID Software decided on that particular formula to maintain the "feel".
k = arctan(tan(zoomfov * (pi/360)) * height/width ) * (360/pi) / 75
Note: Do not convert zoomfov into degrees in this case.
As far as I know, it was Injx who suggested the current, correct type version.
This is my theory:Think it might involve some programming knowledge to understand though.
To maintain the same "feel", the idea is to make the pixels in the center move at the same speed across the two fovs.
If you were zooming in to an image the way you do in a photo editor, then maintaining the same feel would be as simple as sens * k where k = zoomfov/fov. If you see half the screen, use half the sens.
However quake and various other 3d programs don't work this way. There is a distortion to fit the 3d view into the 2d screen. This distortion takes the form of a pincushion distortion.
To look around the 3d world, you have a view frustum (4 sided pyramid), the "point" of the pyramid being the player's eye. As fov increases, the angle at the "point" increases.
You can kind of see this effect at the bottom of the page here:
One side of a frustum is an isosceles triangle, half that is a right triangle, so imagine that there is another triangle placed under the one in the diagram, such that a 45 degree right triangle is actually part of a 90 degree isosceles triangle.
You see the distance to the curve's center (the curve on the unit circle) increasing relative to the "base" of the isosceles triangle, and I believe that this is the image undergoing a pincushion distortion as fov increases.
However even so, sens * zoomfov/fov still takes care of this since the center remains stable. The trouble comes from the aspect ratio not being 1:1, which means that there is more distortion for one axis than another, and this makes for slower moving pixels on one axis, since they move slower relative to the pixels on the side which move faster to compensate and maintain the same amount of time to be taken for a given amount of change in degrees (sens).
So when I zoom in on say 4:3, I'm going from slower moving center pixels --> faster moving center pixels when I zoom in, and since higher sensitivity moves the center pixels faster (all pixels really), it stands to reason that the zoomed in sensitivity should be lower than what it would be if there was no pincushion.
This coincides with the current zoom calculation. For example, using fov 100, zoomfov 50:
This makes k = 0.461257 , whereas with no pincushion we could just do 50/100 = 0.5
sens * 0.46 < sens * 0.5
I'm pretty sure that 0.75 is the aspect ratio (3/4). Since it also has to calculate for aspect ratios different than 4:3, I think what it does in the code is multiply the result by a correction factor, such that everyone can use the same formula without having to also consider their aspect ratio.
Note that if we had a 1:1 aspect ratio, 0.75 would be replaced with a 1, and since arctan(tan(x)) = x , we would have our zoomfov/fov algorithm again, where half the fov would mean half the sens. So, this 0.75 is the correction for the horizontal being wider than the vertical.
The "x/2" part of tan(x/2) is referring to the isosceles triangle of the frustum being cut in half so that right triangle math applies to it.
One of the great things about QL is its tweakability!I wanted to play other FPS games that had sniper scopes, and was hoping if they didn't have a similar way of handling zoom FOV/sens that I could try to emulate it by having my zoom FOV as 22.5 (QL default) and a similar zoomed in sensitivity as QL. But not all games will let me tweak those parameters so I might just have to get used to their engine.

Multipurpose mixer with USB for live sound, recording, and production with 16 unique FX.
Complementing the Allen & Heath's ZED series, the ZED-12FX and its fellow FX series mixer have been developed around an FX chipset. Allen & Heath's DSP engineers worked hard, crafting and refining beautiful reverb algorithms. The 16 effects they created are available nowhere else-this quality and integration is only available in the ZED FX series. 16 essential time-delay effects add to the already bulging feature set. The ZED mixer is ideal for small groups who don't want to carry around an effects unit with their gear but who still want great quality FX at their gigs and on their recordings. In addition, the ZED-12FX USB mixer gives you DuoPre mic pre-amps, 100mm faders, and the MusiQ EQ section which are shared with the whole ZED range.
Internal FX
16 separate effects have been crafted into the ZED-FX range. These include Delay and Reverb, Ping-Pong delay, a selection of reverbs with different room/hall/arena properties, a flanger, and a chorus. All have been designed to complement the material the engineer is working with. Each of the effects has a parameter which can be altered: pre-delay can be adjusted, room sizes tweaked, and flanger speed dialed-in. Five of the effects can have their tempo tapped in, and the output auditioned by the FX PFL.
One of the great things about Allen & Heath's ZED series is the number and variety of things you can plug in. In addition to the mixer's 6 mono channels, there are 3 dual stereo channels, each with a main stereo input on the jack sockets, and with the ability to take additional stereo inputs from phono sockets, or from the USB audio input. 6 mic/line channels are provided on the ZED-12FX-plenty for mics or DI boxes for a small band, duo, or solo performer, as well as 4 stereo line inputs-dual inputs, both with gain and 2-band EQ.
Based on the proven preamps from their PA series, Allen & Heath's ZED series has DuoPre preamps which use a two-stage design, with carefully controlled amounts of gain in each stage. When amplifying the signal from the XLR input, the gain range is huge-69dB of range to be exact-and is very evenly distributed around the gain control, meaning better control of signal level. Most of the gain comes from the first stage, so unwanted noise is kept to a minimum. Line level signals are simply plugged into the second stage of the preamp by using the line input jack socket, which has the great advantage of less noise when using the line input.
EQ section
The ZED-12FX USB mixer features a musical 3-band EQ derived from the acclaimed GL2400 mixer. The design utilises MusiQ-optimised slope (or Q factor) for equalising individual instruments.
Auxiliary sends
4 aux sends are provided, of which 1 & 2 are prefade for foldback monitoring, and 3 & 4 post-fade for effects sends. A stereo signal can be sent from auxes via USB-to-computer to create 2 separate record feeds independent of the main L/R mix (1&2) and or used as FX sends (3&4).
USB audio flexibility
Getting audio to and from a computer easily is now a common requirement for live sound and music production. The way this has been implemented on the ZED FX mixers is flexible and easy. No longer do you need to fiddle around the back of your PC to get to the soundcard inputs only to find that the levels are all wrong and noisy. Just plug in a USB lead to your mixer, select the USB routing on the mixer and the device on your computer, and that's it. Three switches provide different send/return configurations for recording, playback, and utilising external FX.
The ZED-12FX has been designed using individual, vertically mounted circuit boards with each rotary control fixed with a metal nut to the front panel-making a much more robust product that will resist damage and give years of reliable use. It also has professional 100mm faders for ultimate control over your levels.
SONAR LE included
Allen & Heath teamed up with Cakewalk to bundle SONAR LE with the ZED 12-FX mixer. The two work together in many ways, from straightforward recording of a stereo mix to recording tracks individually to build up a song, or even for inserting a SONAR LE effects plug-in.
ZED FX Series
ZED FX mixers are easily controlled using 3 buttons and 9 LEDs. Quickly tap the ideal delay time or dial in the perfect amount of reverb on the lead vocal. Talk about one-stop navigation and editing, it's just as easy your average effects pedals. Hold down the TAP button and press the up or down button to alter the effects parameter. For example, on patch (9) Plate, this would adjust the decay length. The ZED FX mixers are designed to fulfill all the functions a small band would need without needing their own sound engineer. The layout and features have all been arranged to be logical and instantly recognisable even at a dark gig to make it a mixer you can trust to perform.
The USB audio interface, with its uniquely flexible capability, allows different signals to be sent to USB, from L/R or from selected aux buses. The USB return signal can be routed straight to the L/R mix or to a stereo channel. The connectors are placed on the top surface for easy plugging & patching, and the construction, with individual circuit boards firmly nutted to the top panel, is as rock solid as Allen & Heath's top-of-the range ML Series mixers.

I have recently upgraded my home studio with this mixer. It was next to zero hassle to intregrate the mixer in my studio.After reviewing the manual I was operational and familar with the features and board layout and did some test tracking. The track quality was impressive. The one thing I was not pleased with was how small the buttons are for L/R routing and phantom power. It is hard to tell if it's on or off.The DSPs that are included in the console are of excellent quality as well.

This beast is outstanding. I brought the Allen & Heath Zed 12FX on Monday. Its only in the last couple of days that i finally got to play and get the right settings and it is real quality.What amazed me was the effects the reverbs really sound so smooth. I would put them on the same league as the lexicons they really are that good.Very pleased with the purchase plus its very well built.

Dr. Vic is the most pain-free, caring, and knowledgable dentist I know!!! I just had my wisdoms pulled out, did not feel a thing, and did not puff up like people usually do after going through the procedure! I recommend him to everyone and will forever be loyal to him! I am one to say that any bad review written about him is not true because I have come to him since I was a child and I have seen him in every situation! Talking too much must be confused with being a caring doctor! He is probably the only doctor out there that cares about his patients more than he cares about himself, treating them like family!!! There is no way there can be a bad review on this doctor! He is simply the BEST!

I have finaly found a dentist, that I can trust.Painless injections!!! I will never be afraid of injections again. Staff-super friendly. Dr.- knowledgable. Office- clean/spotless.Experience-A++++++ I will recommend them to anyone. Unfortunately some people will never appreciate/understand the doctor's friendly and caring character, which, by the way, is hard to find nowdays.

For once I feel like I have found a health care professional who genuinely cares about me and not just about taking my money or charging my insurance. Dr. Vic is one of the kindest people I have ever met! And to top it all off, he is an AMAZING dentist. He is very thorough and takes the time to explain to you what he is doing and why. He will even show you if want to see. After a major procedure he calls you to check up on you! And best of all he NEVER wants anyone to be in pain so he is extremely gentle and takes his time as to not hurt you! I love the fact that Dr. Vic talks to you and everyone that I have referred to Dr. Vic has said the same. I think if you don't want to be talked to, cared about, or be in good hands than you should find another dentist. Dr. Vic gives everyone of his patients the same amount of care and respect that he would his own family! And that is exactly what you feel like when you go here. I for one, hope he never changes! I found my dentist for life!

I guess some people cant distinguish between good and bad people. You say he talks too much, write a bad review on the guy, and still keep going there. Makes a lot of sense!!!

INTERESTING EXPERIENCE. A MIXTURE OF FEELINGS, INCLUDING BEING CONFUSED, FRUSTRATED AND HIGHLY ANNOYED. The guy talks WAY WAY WAAAAAY too much on the appointment. I have things to do and places to be, hence the purpose of an appointment, and so, this uneccessary chit chat is highly disruptive to my time. Not only that, it is just plain old annoying! Not sure if he tries too hard or if that is way of buttering up a client. I say that, because each time I go, there a NEW tooth to worry about and that is so mysterious, since I take rather great care of my teeth. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this guy. I don't have time to find another dentist. I stay since he does a great job, however, if the appointments continue to be as annoying as they have been, I WILL find another denist....bottom line!!

My husband and I want to express our thoughts as to the current intersection on Highway 6 where it intersects with the turnoff to Spring Glen, and where it also turns off across the road to the golf course.
Trying to get across this highway from Spring Glen to go to Price is difficult, especially at night, with only the current stop sign situation. We would like to know what it would take to consider putting an intersection stop light at this juncture. Has this ever been considered?
At night, it is practically impossible to see in good weather (let alone in bad) what lane the cars coming off the hill from Helper heading south are in. This creates quite a backup of cars waiting to safely enter the highway heading south from Spring Glen.
The other evening, we were coming back from Price, and we counted nine cars backed up, waiting to enter the highway heading to Price. With the traffic level that Highway 6 has in this area, wouldn't it be prudent to install a traffic light at that intersection, before a bad accident occurs due to someone's bad judgment/guessing about getting out into traffic?
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this idea?

|Gas Prices Fall; Gas Gap Narrows
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 13 December 2012 07:26
More good economic news? Since Thanksgiving, our 'gas gap,' the difference between gas prices in the High Country and a county away, has greatly narrowed, coming to within 5-cents a gallon for regular. But that came thanks to prices sliding down in the High Country while creeping up from around $3.17
at Thanksgiving to the mid $3.20's over the last week or so. But now, we're watching prices drop again—rather quickly in the Piedmont—more slowly here. While our prices finally fell just below $3.30—our first $3.29.9 spotted last night—prices down the mountain are dropping back into the $3 and teens range—$3.15.9 on 321-A in Sawmills, $3.19.9 in Granite Falls on US 321, as low as $3.18 on US 70 in Hickory, and further into the Piedmont, $3.11.9 at one station in Statesville off I-40.
And a report this week may bode well for energy prices—U.S. crude oil production is now expected to show a rise of about 760,000 barrels per day for 2012, the largest annual increase ever in oil output in more than 150 years of government recordkeeping that goes back before the start of the Civil War, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administrator's new monthly energy outlook. EIA Administrator Adam Sieminski said, "The expected record high increase this year would be the biggest since "I Love Lucy" debuted on TV in 1951 when oil output that year rose by 751,000 barrels per day."

|Animal escapes from zoo- attacks boy
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 11 June 2007 06:31
A coatimundi escaped from the New River Zoo and bit a 5-year-old boy.The incident resulted in the second closure of the zoo in less than a year. While zoo owner Keith Stroud said the animal had been euthanized, it is up to the county commissioners as to when and if the zoo reopens. The animal, which is a member of the raccoon family with a long ringed tail, escaped by tunneling under the outer edge of its enclosure. Its rabies test came back negative. New River Zoo had just reopened in March after a leopard bit a woman on the arm when she tried to pet the animal. The woman needed surgery to correct her injuries. While the zoo has been open since 2001, this is the first time an animal has escaped, according to the owner. More than 60 species call New River Zoo home.

Like many, my interest in photography was sparked as a child by my parents; both of whom were keen amateur photographers. I had a choice between being bored as they took forever to get from a to b taking pictures of anything and everything or join them. My parents were wise to this and ensured that I was equipped with a camera early on. There was then a prolonged gap when I left home, where I took hardly any photographs at all. Then came the digital age and my interest was rekindled. So here I am now, since getting a D-SLR my camera and I have been pretty much inseparable. I have been on a voyage of discovery: relearning techniques long forgotten and others never before experienced. In November 2008 I was awarded the...

In an effort to stave off a looming shutdown of the federal government, Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, voted on Wednesday to provide funding through September.
The resolution totals $982 billion and includes roughly $140 million in additional spending at Fort Drum for projects that have already been authorized.
Mr. Owens said he views the resolution passed by the House of Representatives as a necessary step toward ensuring the federal government avoids a shutdown. The government could shut down March 27 when a previous continuing resolution expires.
Wednesdays resolution also includes an additional $10.4 billion in military operations and maintenance spending.
Three projects at Fort Drum will see portions of that money: $95 million will be directed towards the installation of a new aircraft hangar; $17.3 million will be spent on a new soldier specialty care clinic; and $25.9 million will be applied to a data terminal complex for the Missile Defense Agency.
Thats very important to ongoing operations, Mr. Owens said of the decision to increase spending in those areas.
The House bill did not give additional funding for domestic programs, however, and Mr. Owens said he expects the Senate to act on those measures.
The Senate is taking up domestic spending, Mr. Owens said. What were hoping is those two bills will go to conference and there will be a compromise.
But the House bill does not address the continuing sequestration that went into effect last week and cuts federal spending by $85 billion.
Even the new money headed for defense programs will be affected by sequestration, Mr. Owens said.
The continuing resolution [passed by the House] helps the government solve its ongoing problems. We then have to see how the public responds to what sequestration actually does. Thats when the pressure will rise, Mr. Owens said.
Mr. Owens said he believes federal spending does need to be addressed, but we need to cut smarter instead of cutting across the board the way sequestration has.
The resolution passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 267 to 151 and the Senate will begin deliberations in the coming days.

Brewer's Been a Real Find
Anthony called Brewer the "the biggest under-the-radar pickup" on media day, and through three games (all wins), the Knicks' new acquisition has already made an impact. He helped hold LeBron James to a cool 23 points and five turnovers, and made Evan Turner basically a non-factor in back-to-back games with 22 total points.
It's rare to see opponents get by the 6-7, 235-pound Brewer, who has quick footwork.
"When I have a guy that can roam and guy that can shut down his guy," center Tyson Chandler said recently, "I know most likely he's not going to be beat as much, and I can concentrate my focus around the rest of the floor. He's big and strong, and can keep guys out of the paint."
Offensively, Brewer has a knack for finding open seams in the defense. "Once I see guys turn their heads or try to help," he said, "that's an opportunity where I can cut back-door and get space where I can get easy points."
Brewer is noted for his efficiency — he only has one turnover in 78 minutes — and he is starting to shoot the ball well from downtown (5-for-9), which he hasn't done at all in his six-year career.
Brian DiMenna
Role players are probably more important in basketball than any other sport, and the Knicks really haven't had enough guys like Brewer over the years. It's just nice to have a few guys that don't need the ball all that much in order to be effective. For his part, Brewer has been the perfect bridge while the Knicks wait for the return of Iman Shumpert, as his defense is excellent and he's shown a nice ability to finish at the basket.
Naturally, we don't expect him to continue to shoot 55% from three-point range — although if he did, wouldn't that really be something? — but if he's effective enough on offense that will be more than enough to keep him in the rotation throughout the season. Assuming he returns fully healthy, Shumpert obviously has a ton more upside, but what a luxury it will be to have a guy like Brewer off the bench, as the Knicks will be able to bring in J.R. Smith or Brewer at shooting guard depending on whether they're more in need of defense or offense and they'll have an awful lot of flexibility with their lineup.
I'm sure at some point this season we'll have to distribute more criticism than praise about this team, but for now we can enjoy focusing on all that's going right, and the play of Brewer has undoubtedly been one of those things.

The American Left would like America to be more like China. Senator Joe Leiberman (I-Conn.) said as much when touting the need for his Internet Kill Switch bill, which would give the President the authority to shut down the Internet in a time of national emergency.
Well, here is what goes on in China, as reported last week in London's Daily Telegraph:
Parents who believed their children died in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake because school buildings were shoddily-built petitioned the Chinese government to release its findings in a post-earthquake investigation. About 60 parents that were attempting to deliver the petition were instantly arrested by police.
"The police came right away and took us away," said one parent, who managed to flee.
In a related story, a Chinese activist who conducted his own investigation into the earthquake—and who had previously written about the violent 1989 crackdown in Tiananmen Square—was sentenced to five years in prison in February for subversion.
The New York Times' Thomas Friedman once wrote: "One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages… Our one-party democracy is worse."
That's where the Leftists would have us go.

Rubis Cosmetic Tweezers Pointed Tip
In Stock
Ships within 24 hours
Swiss-made from high quality stainless steel. Sleek, pointed tip for the removal of ingrown hair, new growth, splinters and blackheads.
Mar 6, 2012
Best Tweezers
This is the second set of these tweezers I've owned (I misplaced my others and have been missing it so much that I bought another). Best product for use on ingrown hairs and/or splinters. My husband even uses them sometimes. Seriously, I know they're expensive, but they're worth it!
Nov 8, 2010
Very Well Made But...
These tweezers are very well made/aligned but there is one main setback which in effect nullifies the company's manufacturing standards.
Its sharp like a pair of scissors in the tip portion as well as several mm's above the point.
The end product of this? many a time it just cut the hair rather then gripping it... Making the hair harder and harder to tweeze. It's certainly possible i just got a lemon.
If you just bought these tweezers and are going to use them for a splinter, test them out on a hair first and see if the above applies to you.... Cutting the splinter's already small protruding portion above the skin will bring you bouts of joy as you go tunneling away deep into your epidermis with these needle nosed tweezers

Great Tweezers
I was skeptical about these tweezers and thought that the price was very high. But I had been looking for a GOOD pair of tweezers for months. The first time I used the Rubis tweezers I knew that I had made the right choice. They can pull out even the smallest, finest hairs. Im glad I made the investment.

Great Tweezers, But Don't Drop 'em!
Yes, they are definitely the best tweezers Ive found for the price. Im on my second pair. The first fell off the bathroom counter onto the floor and were useless since the tips bent. Now I always keep the little plastic cap on the tips and am extra careful not to drop em. Funny, I wrote a similar review when I dropped the first set and that review conveniently disappeared...

Rubis Tweezers
This is the best tweezers we have ever used for the ingrown hair. The tips are so small and pointed that they can get the ingrown hair out before it gets inbedded. I would buy it again they work great.

Submission Review of Flash Builder 4 - Defective By Design?->

William S. Burroughs: A Man Within
Born the heir of the Burroughs' adding machine estate, William S. Burroughs struggled throughout his life with addiction, control systems and relationships. He was forced to deal with the tragedy of killing his wife and the repercussions of neglecting his son. His novel, "Naked Lunch," was one of the last books to be banned by the U.S. government, until the courts eventually overturned their decision in 1966, ruling that the book had important social value. It remains one of the most recognized literary works of the 20th century. William Burroughs was one of the first writers to cross the dangerous boundaries of queer and drug culture in the 1950s, and record his experiences. Eventually, he was hailed the godfather of the beat generation and influenced artists for generations to come. However, his friends were left wondering, did William ever find happiness? This extremely personal documentary breaks the surface of the troubled and brilliant world of one of the greatest authors of all time.

By KAREN BASSOSports writer
The Lady Dinos participated in the annual Bear River Tournament this past weekend where they found themselves capturing the tournament title.
The Dinos kicked off the two day event by competing against the Logan Grizzlies. Carbon came out strong playing well on both ends of the court however, it was their defensive effort which received acclaim from Dino coach Bruce Bean.
The Dinos managed to hold the Grizzlies to only five points in the second quarter and only nine points in the fourth.
The victory came quite easily for the Dinos who captured the 71-40 first round win.
In the match up with Logan, Morgan Warburton lead the team in scoring with 21 points. She was followed by Chelsey Warburton who posted 20 points against the Grizzlies.
Brittany Pollastro had a successful game as she scored 12 points while pulling down several big rebounds for the Dino squad.
After being ranked first in the 3A standings prior to the preseason, the Dinos found themselves falling in the rankings after losing to Ogden before the Thanksgiving break.
At the beginning of the tournament, the Snow Canyon Warriors had found their way to the top spot in the standings.
In the final game of the Bear River Classic, the Dinos stepped up to prove that they deserve to be named as the top team in the division once again.
The match up between the two talented teams proved to be a showdown of great proportions.
By the end of the first quarter of play, the Warriors found themselves ahead of the Dinos, 13-6. Not a very large nor comfortable lead for the Warriors. In fact, the Dinos matched the team point for point in the second quarter as both teams posted 10 points a piece.
The second half of play turned into an intense battle for the victory. Carbon pressured the Warriors and managed to gain the upper hand by outscoring the team, 29-19 in the half, thus leading to the Dinos 45-42 victory.
Chelsey Warburton lead the Carbon team in scoring with 16 points as Morgan Warburton followed with 11 points.
Just like in most of the games prior to the Snow Canyon match-up, the Dinos stepped up and played strong as a team. Each athlete who entered the game added their own strength and talent which eventually lead to the big win for the Dinos.
With the regular season creeping up on the Dinos, the team continues to make adjustments to become the best team in the league.
According to coach Bean, the team is strong but improvements must be made to their ball handling skills.
"We need to clean things up a little bit before region competition begins. We need to play better and smarter offense, but I think we'll be ready for the season when it rolls around," commented Bean.
Although the Dinos do not hold standings close to their heart, the team does understand how it feels to be one of the best teams in the state.
With this title comes the challenge of living up to the name. After all, every team that the Dinos compete against will enter the match up with the strong desire to bring down the powerful Carbon team. This may be a desire for many of the 3A teams, but it is a difficult task which few teams may be able to accomplish this year.

Justin Bieber's adidas NEO summer campaign.
Photo: Courtesy of adidas NEO
Is it just us, or does it seem like only yesterday Justin Bieber was showing off his drum skills in adidas NEO's interactive Spring lookbook? Clearly time is flying, because he's baaaaack! Just in time for the skyrocketing temps that come with the season, check out the star working the brand's Summer 2013 NEO collection. Judging from Bieber's previous ads, we can always count on him to be his generally #swaggy self as he reps the teen-centric line's casual tanks, T-shirts, and denim (not to mention his new Koi fish ink!). And considering this is a guy who's never one to do things halfway, Justin's not only modeling the clothes... he's also posing-slash-dancing amidst party decorations, lounging backwards on a bike, and, perhaps most impressively, taking his trademark furrowed brow expression to THE NEXT LEVEL. See more photos below!

NeweraHPC(http://newerahpc.googlecode.com) is a simple scheduler for scheduling tasks on a cluster of heterogeneous clusters. The program is completely opensource written under the GPLv2 license.
With the advancement of processors there is not much need of single system image and similar clusters. But the job can be done very efficiently using a simple scheduler that can fragment a job into smaller pieces and distribute it over the cluster of computers and then collect the results back. NeweraHPC does the same.
It is a very simple library based on C++ and uses posix libraries thus compatible with all the available UNIX platforms. It has all the basic services required like a simple garbage collector and can handle memory fragmentations very well.
There are two ways jobs can be distributed, first method is the traditional way wherein we can use some external application to process data and the data is fed in the form of independent files which are then written to a standard file which is then sent back to node which requested the job.
The second method is called NXI(Newera Extensible Interface) which is in the form of dynamic link libraries and contains docking functions. These functions are given data which is then processed and returned back to the node. This method is very efficient and embarrassingly parallel application frameworks can be written through it.
There are two versions of the program available in the repository, version 2 and 3.
Version 2 program is the older one and has the NXI implemented in it. It has been depreciated and it will be ported soon to the version 3. There is a test suite available with the program which can calculate the pi value to a million decimal places.
Version 3 contains the external binary implementation and is more sophisticated and will soon have the ability to work with NXI.

I recently made a tent customized for my own needs, particularly for longer duration hikes in exposed and high wind areas.The basis of that design was to combine trekking poles with flexible alloy tent poles to work both with and against each other. It seems to work well, so I have taken this principle a stage further and designed another one for more extreme use.This tent is slightly heavier than the other one, at just over 1 kg, the 2nd pole making the difference. It is slightly smaller inside too, but is going to be used mainly for weekend trips over the winter months.It is designed again for strong winds, but also with snow loadings in mind. There has been snow on the hills here already this week so hopefully I will get a chance to really test it out soon.If anyone wants further information feel free to ask.
I'm seriously impressed by the design and craftsmanship of this tent and your other, single tent pole design.Keep up the good work!
Can't believe how light that tent is considering how burly it looks. Nice work!
Great idea and beautiful work. An inspiration!
Looks very good. The colour scheme is very Terra Nova. Any plans to make these for sale? Or at least drawing up some detailed templates?
AnthonyI have had some similar requests, but I want to do more testing on these tents first, especially in winds over 50 mph.I am still finding improvements that can be made. The 2-pole tent doesn't breathe as well as the single pole tent, for example, and I think it could benefit from a high level vent at the rear of the tent. I will make up another 2 of these tents in October, which I will give away as samples, as I would like to get other peoples' opinions. If the feedback is positive, I will make these tents available, either through commissioning a short production run, or possibly as a MYOG option.
Marc, as others have said, your designs and fabrication are beautiful. Nice work.
the man asked for opinions .. ohhh kaayyyy ..i might consider adding a ground-level tape on the door side, so as to take the strain when the door is open and you have everything pulled quite tight.in that way, the zipper would not be so stressed pulling your act together.it is indeed, a very nice looking tent.v.
Bearing in mind that the basic concept of a 'freestanding winter tent' is patently absurd... But this one has guys ropes too.Cheers
PeterThat is a good idea, thanks.
RogerI agree, I always make use of the guy ropes if I can. Sometimes I cant though, like the situation in the first photo on the summit. I think I managed to get just 2 stakes a few inches in at the corners of the tent, and with a few rocks 'borrowed' from the summit cairn put on the floor, it was enough to stop it blowing away.
I just want to echo what others already said, nice work, and for a newbie sewer especially--quite impressive. I actually have a hard time believing this was your first sewing project.
"Bearing in mind that the basic concept of a 'freestanding winter tent' is patently absurd... But this one has guys ropes too."Sigh, Roger, what if everyone used self supported instead of freestanding?
JustinThanks. To be honest though, I had to do the single pole flysheet twice. On the first attempt, I cut the fabric to follow the arc of the pole, not allowing for the extra stretch that you get when you cut on the fabric bias. I could never get the side panels really taut all over.Most of the stuff I have learnt about sewing I have got from this forum. Also, some of the things to consider in a design I got from previous articles. My mother taught me how to use a 1956 Singer sewing machine that had an electric motor retro-fitted. It only does 1 stitch, but if you use a crossed box pattern for tie-outs, that seems to be all that is needed.
Hi Ken> Sigh, Roger, what if everyone used self supported instead of freestanding?The exact words do not matter. You will notice that Marc wrote 'I agree, I always make use of the guy ropes if I can.' When the wind is strong enough, poles by themselves are just not strong enough.The term 'free-standing' is a bit of marketing spin. The problem with using such terms is that novices may believe in them, and then find themselves in an unfortunate situation where their gear fails completely, imperilling their lives.Cheers
"Freestanding winter/summit tent" was probably not the best way to describe this tent, I am not trying to suggest that it can be used in the winter or on summits without the guy ropes. My understanding is that if you have a strong pole structure that is self supporting and the panels are tight, then the guy ropes are really only doing one job, acting against wind loads. Some tents require a high degree of tension in the guy ropes to be pitched right, even before taking wind loads into account, so there may be more strain in their guy ropes/stakes, all other things being equal. That is the only real advantage I see to the self supporting type, you might be able to get away with less stakes in the ground, or alternatively, the stakes are less likely to get pulled under the same wind loads. Obviously this is a bit of a generalisation, as there are many other factors that determine the loads on the guy ropes/stakes in a design.
Hi Roger,The posts on the Gear spot often make me think of lives in peril. There was also an article here - sorry I forget the title - about several days in late autumn with minimal gear. At least the author was honest about some of the guys wet and shivering all night - fortunately they were young enough to survive it.Many of the posts appear to have a marketing component that raises concerns similar to yours. But marketers are free to post here, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I think we just have to rely on you as editor, and others who are more experienced, to point out some of the more obvious fallacies. To bad it has to happen like Groundhog Day (that's a Hollywood movie about the same day happening over and over again).And accounts of unexpected extreme conditions, as in your "When Things Go Wrong" article are helpful also. Let some imagine dealing with that in their dream 12 ounce shelter. But I guess you actually have to be there in the soup to get the whole picture.Terminology aside, I like having some kind of a framework over me when the weather gets really nasty. Now that I've finally found stronger carbon shafts, it seems a framework can be fairly light as well. And if you're going to have a framework, it might as well support the canopy. Keep tramping.
When the tent has enough inherent (freestanding) structure, then there is a greater potential of lateral forces (wind) to be resisted by compressive forces of the structure, and not just by the tension of the guy lines...Or at least I think that's what you are trying to achieve, right?:)
I've been hammocking for the past several years, and thus haven't been using a tent. I recently moved into the mountains though, and have been hiking above tree-line quite often, so I've decided to switch back to a tent. This looks just like the tent I've been envisioning in my head. Is their any chance you could post the plans or patterns for the community? Thanks,--Chris S.
> When the tent has enough inherent (freestanding) structure, then there is a greater> potential of lateral forces (wind) to be resisted by compressive forces of the> structure, and not just by the tension of the guy lines...Forgive me if I disagree for rather basic technical reasons, but the problem lies initially in just one word. That word is however vital. It's 'compressive'.The only things in a tent which has any compressive strength are the poles (CF or Al). They have way more than enough compressive strength, so that is not an issue.The poles also have flexure (bending) strength. In general this is not enough to keep the tent up in any decent wind. Why? Because the large sail-like areas of the fly pull on the poles and bend them, to the point where the poles can bend and collapse.So what keeps the poles in their right shape? Well, with some tents, not very much. Those are the tents which I tend to dismiss as being useless in a wind: I am sure you all know what general classes I mean. Any tent with a throw-over fly falls into this class. Any tent with l-o-n-g unsupported poles does so too.However, there are tents where the poles are held in shape by two forces. When the pole is short and bent it tends to be a bit stiffer against further deflection than the long ones arching over a pop-up. This is pole strength, albeit not enough in itself. When the pole is sleeved into the fly and the fly is properly guyed, the tensile strength of the fabric of the fly restrains the pole from bending in 'unfortunate' directions. You have to prevent the fly from distorting too much of course, and that is the main purpose of the guy ropes. When the fly is tight and guyed, the poles find it very hard to deflect. So the poles stay up, and so the fly stays up, and so the occupant has a good night.I apologise if this sounds pedantic. But reread it at 2 am in a howling gale and see what you think.Cheers

PAWTUCKET – Pineview Big League skipper Joe Clark admitted his club didn't exhibit the kind of superb defense he expected from a lot of high school players in a 3-2 victory over East Greenwich on Tuesday night.
Sure, Clark and Co. won the game, but they looked rather shaky doing it.
That's why he chose to have a short conference with his young men prior to facing Edgewood/South Elmwood in the R.I. Big League (15-18) All-Star Tournament's winners-bracket final at the Doreen A. Tomlinson Athletic Complex' Presidents' Field on Friday night.
"I told them (Friday) we were a little shaky, and I thought it was because they were putting too much pressure on themselves with this being the state tournament," Clark stated Friday night. "We made four or five errors, and I didn't like it.
"Before this game, we as coaches just told them to relax and trust themselves," he added. "I said, 'You're 16, 17, 18 years old, and you've been playing a long time, so you know how to play baseball. You just have to trust your instincts."
Turns out, his players paid attention. Recent Tolman High graduate Carlos Sanabria whirled a complete-game four-hitter and whiffed eight while walking just one as Pineview sailed to a satisfying 5-1 verdict over its Cranston/Providence-based opponent before perhaps 100 fans.
Sanabria also helped himself with the bat; he finished 2-for-3 with three RBI, a run scored and accounted for another with an incredible theft of home.
Other contributions came from Tolman teammate Steve Otis (1-for-3, RBI, run); fellow THS grad and batterymate Chris Baldwin (2-for-3, stolen bag); and fellow Tigers' teammates Adam Ghazal (1-for-2, run) and Zach Taber (0-for-3, two runs).
"On the mount, Carlos was fantastic," Clark grinned after Pineview remained unbeaten at 2-0, and now will face one of Cumberland, East Greenwich or Edgewood/South Elmwood in a championship tilt slated for 4 p.m., Sunday. (The winner of Friday night's late game between Cumberland and East Greenwich will battle Edgewood/South Elmwood for the right to try to beat Pineview twice for the state tourney title).
"We slated him for this game because it was going to be the most important to have," Clark noted. "With a win here, you go straight to the state championship game; if you don't, you have to win three more times just to get a chance (for the crown).
"Carlos knew how critical it was, and he brought his best stuff," he continued. "He's a complete ballplayer, and complete ballplayers show up to play when it counts most. He did just that here."
Pineview quickly started a rally in the back half of the first; Otis walked, but was thrown out at second when Taber reached on a fielder's choice. In an attempt to pick Taber off first, starting southpaw Brandon Budlong threw wildly to first, allowing him to scamper to third.
Sanabria roped an opposite-field single to right to plate Taber, and on the play, rightfielder Noah Gemma dove for the sinking liner, but it skipped past him, allowing Sanabria to reach second. Baldwin followed with an infield hit, sending Sanabria to third, but Baldwin was picked off first.
While all that happened, Sanabria sprinted to the plate and slid in safely on the delayed double-steal; those gave the Pawtucketers a 2-0 cushion.
Edgewood/South Elmwood threatened in the top half of the second when Budlong led off with an opposite-field single to right-center, but Sanabria forced Alex Figuerido to foul out, then got two more on simple flies.
While Budlong had squelched Pineview, retiring nine straight batters, Sanabria did the same, manufacturing seven straight before the visitors sliced the deficit in half; on his first delivery, Gemma walloped it over the right-field fence, and – suddenly – Edgewood/South Elmwood found itself right back in it.
Pineview – which had sent seven to the box in the two-run first – did itself one better in the fifth. Ghazal opened the frame with a ground single between short and third, took second on Corey Hughes' sacrifice bunt and scored on Tolman junior-to-be Steven Otis' double to deep center.
Budlong then struck out Taber, but the low pitch allowed him to scamper to first on the error. Taber robbed second, and Sanabria ripped an opposite-field single to right to plate both, and he took second on another infield miscue.
Baldwin followed with an infield hit, and Brandon Canuto replaced him as a courtesy runner and immediately robbed third, but Budlong whiffed Joey Fernandes then caused Alex Lopez to ground to third.
Sanabria got two quick outs before surrendering Gemma his second hit to right, but fanned Budlong to end the frame. All told, after that dinger, Sanabria allowed just a walk and a hit over the final 3 2/3 innings.
Seven of those came via the "K."
"I thought the defense played really well," Clark offered after the triumph. "Like I said, they were a little shaky against East Greenwich Tuesday, but we didn't make one error here."
Explained catcher Baldwin about his long-time buddy on the hill: "Carlos started a little slow, but when he gave up the homer to that kid, I thought he was lights out. I honestly think it got him mad.
"His fastball seemed to be working the best," he added. "It seemed like those guys couldn't catch up to it. In some curveball situations, I (signaled) him to come with the heat. We were just throwing the fastball, and – again – their bats couldn't catch up to it. He's throwing the same way he did in high school – fast."
