If you pop out to Staples for some of those purple folders that you need
right away, you know to keep the receipt and submit a check request form.
It's a simple procedure for you, but multiplied across the company, and
including payments for magazine subscriptions, training courses, and dozens
of other everyday expenses, the number of reports that need to be routed,
approved and converted to checks can be a corporate headache. Hearst Corporation,
an early adopter of Concur Technologies' (NASDAQ: CNQR) Payment Expert,
expects that 16,000 employees will use the product over the next year
and that it will handle 100,000 payment requests.
Payment Expert is a module within the eWorkplace Solution Suite (see Concur
eWorkplace Projects Vision Onto Desktop) and can also be used as a
standalone application. According to Concur it contains the following
According to Concur the genesis of this product is quite simple. They
spoke to their customers, and those of competitors, about what was missing
from the available e-commerce suites, and a solution for the torrent of
one-off checks that need to be processed. Listening to the market and
building a solution for a problem than nearly everyone seems to have is
always a winning strategy.
the product so that it can run standalone may net Concur some business
from customers of its competitors, but we wouldn't expect that to be a
major source of revenue. This is not a product that other vendors with
competent workflow engines - people like Peregrine and Remedy - will have
trouble replicating in fairly short order.
likely to be more penetration into larger companies with vendors like
Commerce One and Ariba, which are less likely to move quickly to add this
capability to their product suites. But that's probably not a big issue
for Concur, which we believe expects most of the revenue from Payment
Expert to come from existing and new suite customers.
If taming the expense report monster is important then you will want to
take a close look at Payment Expert. For Concur's current customers the
decision will be easy to make, based on cost and function.
you are not an existing Concur customer then it does make sense to press
your own vendor about a similar product, because a higher degree of integration
is always better. But if you need this capability sooner rather than later
and if the standalone version will do the job, then by all means go for

Full Circle: From Derrick Bell, to the New Black Panthers, to the White House
Morgen on March 11, 2012 at 4:11 pm
Over at Powerline, John Hinderaker points out the two degrees of separation linking Obama's embrace of Derrick Bell at Harvard in 1992, and Bell's statement in 1994 that "we should really appreciate" Khalid Muhammad, the founder of the New Black Panther Party. Bell's praise came just one year after this now infamous speech from Muhammad:
(Video via Patterico.)
While there may be just two degrees of separation between Obama and Muhammad, the story really comes full circle with the decision by the Obama Justice Department in 2009 to not pursue a voter intimidation case against the current leadership of the New Black Panther Party. To see how inter-connected these events really are, compare Muhammad's comments in the video above to this new VS video featuring Philadelphia Black Panther leader King Samir Shabazz, recorded earlier this year.
I frankly still find it stunning that even the Obama Administration would not pursue a conviction against Shabazz and the New Black Panther Party leadership, for whatever charge might be available to them. This organization is clearly dangerous: it's only a matter of time before someone is inspired to act on this rhetoric, if it hasn't happened already.
This is the real danger of imparting legitimacy to the ideas advanced by Critical Race theorists. That racism is a permanent feature of American society, that there is no solution within the law that will ever make a difference. If you really believed this, why wouldn't you look at those calling for violent revolution as rational actors driven by despair? At a minimum you would probably have more than a little empathy for them. Heck, you might even let them walk away from a conviction they did not even bother to contest.
Open your hearts and minds.

@JonahNRO – Obama speech moved on account of 40% chance of rain and 100% chance of insufficient attendance.
The Dems don't need a hurricane. They have God, Jewish and no corporate profit issues. On top of that they have that curly headed twit Debbie Downer who can tell more likes in one interview than anyone in America! Not to mention praising Ten Kennedy and Bill CLinton, those well known philanderers! YOu can't make this stuff up!
But YOU can, Phil.
The Democratic Party is their own political cartoon, only a bit sadder. When will people wake up and realize that high taxes, expensive social programs, and defense cuts spell doom for our Nation. We are running down the same road as Greece and Spain and we are missing all the warning signs along the way.
From what I have seen of the Dem Convention, I have never seen a larger gathering of really vile people. Well done Dems. Could not have done a better job trashing them if I had wanted to waste my time!!!!
GD, it's really time to turn off Rush and think for yourself.
Phil – "really vile people"? Is that code for the type of people we didn't see many of at the Republican gathering (non-Lily-White)?
I guess you were not watching so what is the use IKTM. Condi, Mia Love and some of the others will be amused at being called Lily White! or maybe they won't. I saw signs like "Once you vote black you will never go back" and people booing putting God back in the platform, antisemites, speakers shreaking things and above all lots of lies. If you don't think that is vile then I don't know what to say to you.
Phil – What people booed was your narrow view of what a god is. When your side wants a vain, vindictive creature, that will damn you to the eternal fires of hell, if you do not stroke its ego by worshipping it in a narrow proscribed manner, with no proof that it has the right to make such a demand, made into the god of all, that is worth booing. And do we really need to put such archaic creations into documents that give them legitimacy they have not earned? I don't think so. The day you can offer positive and definitive proof that a god/or gods exist, or has EVER existed, we can talk about injecting them where they do not now belong, but good luck with that, as NO ONE has been able to do it so far. I did notice that the FOX coverage of the GOP convention panned to the same black shirted, white hatted Black man over and over and over and over, why do you suppose they did that?
TT, it's really time for you to turn off the Ed Show and think for yourself.
I'm pretty sure "@JonahNRO" is not Rush.
Phil don't bother, IKTTIM is too stolid in thought to admit he's wrong. Besides the progressives only want one party and those who don't believe in one party rule get sent to re-education camps. Maybe he is angling for using his phd as an re-education leader.
Why does the GOP hate out troops? Not one mention from millionaire Mittens?
oates, you do know that Romney addressed the American Legion the day before, right?
Oh! I see! You were retweeting in a blog comment!
I see what you did there. Rush was pushing the same moronic tripe the day you posted that comment. You can see how I might get confused. Fitting that a cartoon about extreme bias would include a tweet from Jonah Goldberg of NRO fame.
Not sure what Ed you're speaking of, and I'm pretty far from a liberal.
Excuse me, INTIM, I'm still waiting for your answer to, "Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, how did all this get started?".
Please don't embarass yourself with with your usual choice of, "I've answered that before" (which you have not) or "I'd explain it, but you're too stupid to grasp the explanation" nonsense, both of which equate to no answer at all.
gunga dan – You do know that Romney made a 16 second mention, to the American Legion, about Afghanistan, that barely mentioned our presence there at all, AND DID NOT MENTION ONE WORD on what his policy is, on a war that is taking so many lives. RIGHT?
PlainGuy – We progressives don't have a problem with another political party existing, we just get a bit squeamish when that other party starts to take on narrow, doctrinaire, absolutist, my way or the highway, characteristics of a party that ruled a nation in the last century, that sent the cream of their youth back-packing all over Europe, to spread their beneficence.
Albert J – What?, you have nothing of value to use as an attack weapon but to bring up your tired old question, that has clearly been answered by the fact that we heathens do not have to pretend we have an answer to a question we, as a species, have not yet earned (through actively and scientifically searching for that truth), the right to. I don't have to, like you, pretend I know an answer to a fundamental question, based on my willingness to accept superstitious and myth driven fairy-tales. Asking the question again, only shows that you are aiming at alienating my presence for the segment of the readers who share your prejudices against honest skepticism.
On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.
But there was a big mistake in the stirring backdrop: those are Russian warships.
Nice going, patriots.
Totally off topic but I can't let it go, escpecially because Albert has that certain longwinded condescension that he loves to bestow on people and bear in mind I am no scientist, but…."Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, how did all this get started?", um I believe that your thinking of energy, we destroy matter all the time when we split atoms, thats why those bombs are so powerful,just think what would happen if you split all the matter in the universe, I guess that would make a pretty big bang! But a white, blue eyed, man shaped creature that sits on a cloud throne is just as likely.
Despite some really valiant effort, posterhead, by physics teachers who tried really hard, all I'm able to remember from those classes is; 2 forms of matter cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and MATTER CAN NEITHER BE CREATED NOR DESTROYED.
You'll have to forgive me, but I'm going to stick with the versions those teachers tried so hard to implant in my brain. I might suggest your perception of, "a white, blue eyed, man shaped creature that sits on a cloud throne" is a vision most believers outgrow somewhere around the 5th to 7th grade. If you haven't attained that level yet, hang in there, sometimes maturity sinks in slower than others.
Interesting. I thought it was MASS that could not be created or destroyed. As in Matter can be converted in to Energy, and Energy into Matter, but MASS remained constant. I thought that was the founding principle behind the equation E=MC2 (can't superscript the two in this text field).
Regardless, I think you're unqualified to denounce decades of study in this field with an admittedly shaky memory of junior high physics.
'2 forms of matter cannot occupy the same space at the same time'
This also has no bearing on the Big Bang Theory where universe sprung from a singularity composed highly dense matter and energy.
I never intended to suggest that it did, Troy Taxpayer. Finally, I can wholeheartedly agree with one of your silly attempts to argue about the length of a gnat's eyelash, I am absolutely UNqualified to denounce (or for that matter, support) anything related to the study of physics, and don't believe I ever suggested, claimed or even remotely hinted at.
Save yourself the effort to impress me with your grasp of physics, as I readily acknowledge that subject is beyond the reach of my headlights. Those two points I mentioned are the ONLY points I remember (from High School, actually) and thus far that lack of knowledge hasn't effected me.
If you want to share your knowledge and help me understand your "Big Bang theory" better, perhaps you could enlighten me, since nobody has questioned the suggestion that "Matter cannot be created", help me understand from where, all those things that apparently blew up, actually came from?
As I read your above effort to appear smart, I'm left wondering as you were somewhat unclear; are you suggesting matter can be destroyed, or does matter simply convert into different forms of matter?
There is a very good reason some brilliant physicists are also religious, and don't see the problem with that, and you are all demonstrating it.

Each week, it seems to get a little tougher to put the Class C top 10 together.
The biggest problem is the inequality in scheduling. The class is full of teams with mediocre records that have played incredibly tough schedules, and teams with good records against weak schedules.
Geography plays as much of a factor as anything, with the small schools being spread across the state, so you can't blame a team that can only get a certain level of opponent on the schedule. But it makes the job of ranking those teams and comparing them to each other more difficult by the week.
There was one significant change in this week's poll, with Arkoma stepping in at No. 10 and bumping Webbers Falls out.
Webbers Falls lost 46-16 to No. 4 Thackerville, which is by no means a punishable loss. But on the whole, Arkoma's 3-2 record right now looks stronger than the 3-2 record of Webbers Falls. Arkoma has losses to Class B Keota (which is on the fringe of the rankings in that class) and No. 9 Maud in a one-point game. Arkoma also has a win over Sasakwa, which was undefeated at the time and still stands at 4-1. Webbers Falls' wins aren't quite as strong.
And there are still other teams — some with worse records — right on the edge trying to break through. Deer Creek-Lamont is 1-3 but all three losses are to highly ranked Class B and C teams. Corn Bible is 2-3, but has also put together a a solid resume. One-loss teams like Sasakwa and Grandfield are hanging around out there, too.
So there's certainly potential for some big shake-ups in the bottom portion of The Oklahoman's Class C rankings, but for how, here's how it stands:
Rank, Team, Record (Prev.)
1. Tipton, 5-0 (1)
2. Cherokee, 4-0 (2)
3. Sharon-Mutual, 5-0 (3)
4. Thackerville, 4-0 (4)
5. Balko, 5-0 (5)
6. Bluejacket, 4-1 (6)
7. Shattuck, 4-1 (7)
8. Timberlake, 3-2 (10)
9. Maud, 3-2 (8)
10. Arkoma, 3-2 (NR)
Dropped out: Webbers Falls, 3-2 (9)

Chairman, distinguished delegates, I would like to thank the Republic of Panama for the warm hospitality it has shown to the delegations gathered here for this Fifth Conference of States Parties to the UN Convention against Corruption. I would also like to thank President Martinelli for his inspiring words this morning, and I congratulate Panama on assuming the Presidency of the Conference.
In two weeks we will celebrate the tenth anniversary of the UN Convention against Corruption. Much has been accomplished, even since this Conference last met in Marrakech in 2011:
But there is more we can do. As we reflect on our accomplishments and celebrate the UNCAC's 10th anniversary, let us also seize the opportunity we have here to build upon past progress and further our primary goal of implementing the Convention.
The Review Mechanism
The Review Mechanism has been a key focus of our endeavors over the past several years. The country reviews have promoted domestic coordination, provided information about our respective and collective implementation efforts, and helped identify potential areas for technical assistance. Nevertheless, as we approach the second round of reviews, it is critical to assess how we can improve the Mechanism in light of our experiences in the first round. While the second review cycle will not be launched until the Conference of States Parties in 2015, we look forward to a dialogue this week about possible ways to strengthen the Mechanism:
Asset Recovery
As interest in asset recovery continues to increase, the Asset Recovery Working Group has proven to be a valuable venue for the exchange of good practices and for building trust. Drawing on that forum and work by initiatives such as the Arab Forum on Asset Recovery, the Lausanne Process, and Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative (StAR), the United States is introducing a resolution that highlights areas where we think we can do more.
The resolution's goals include:
We can surmount barriers to asset recovery by undertaking proactive tracing searches in certain circumstances. We can recommit to supporting capacity building that is tailored and practice-based. As we each have different legal frameworks, we should make information about our respective asset recovery laws and procedures widely available, as through the practical guides the United States, the G8, and now the G20 are making available.
We should look for ways to make our legal frameworks more effective – such as by examining the benefits of approaches like non-conviction-based forfeiture.
Furthermore, the Asset Recovery Working Group should continue its good work and be tasked to provide recommendations regarding the scope of the Chapter V articles to be reviewed in the second cycle.
Prevention also deserves our attention. The Prevention Chapter is rich, covering a broad array of topics and practices. We have identified some excellent ideas for implementation during our discussions in the Prevention Working Group. We should ensure the Conference continues these expert exchanges, while at the same time tasking the experts to consider how we may most effectively review the broad technical range of this chapter during the second round.
Civil Society
I also want to stress the important role of civil society in preventing and combating corruption, including by raising public awareness and helping keep governments accountable –the foundation of Article 13 of the Convention. This Conference always anticipated that civil society would play a contributing role in the important deliberations of this body and the various Working Groups and subsidiary bodies. All States Parties should pledge to embrace this supporting role.
International Cooperation
Finally, we still need to find ways to maximize efficiency and synergies in international cooperation. We continue to believe that we should discuss international cooperation via UNCAC through the ongoing work of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime's Working Group on International Cooperation, particularly given that the international cooperation provisions in these conventions are almost identical.
In conclusion, the United States believes that our collective efforts over the past several years have been fruitful in advancing our ultimate goal of implementing the Convention and that even more can be accomplished working in partnership. We look forward to working together over the course of this week and beyond to find ways to improve the effectiveness of our collective efforts.
Thank you.

16 U.S. Code § 698h - Right of use and occupancy of improved property on Big Cypress Preserve and Addition
(a) Election of right of use and occupancy; payment of fair market value; termination of right
The owner of an improved property on the date of its acquisition by the Secretary may, as a condition of such acquisition, retain for himself and his heirs and assigns a right of use of and occupancy of the improved property for a definite term of not more than twenty-five years or, in lieu thereof, for a term ending at the death of the owner or the death of his spouse, whichever is later. The owner shall elect the term to be reserved. Unless this property is wholly or partially donated to the United States, the Secretary shall pay the owner the fair market value of the property on the date of acquisition less the fair market value, on that date, of the right retained by the owner. A right retained pursuant to this section shall be subject to termination by the Secretary upon his determination that it is being exercised in a manner inconsistent with the purposes of sections 698f to 698m–4 of this title, which shall include the exercise of such right in violation of any applicable State or local laws and ordinances, and it shall terminate by operation of law upon the Secretary's notifying the holder of the right of such determination and tendering to him an amount equal to the fair market value of that portion of the right which remains unexpired.
(b) "Improved property" defined
(i) a detached one family dwelling, construction of which was begun before November 23, 1971, with respect to the preserve and January 1, 1986, with respect to the Addition which is used for noncommercial residential purposes, together with not to exceed three acres of land on which the dwelling is situated and such additional lands as the Secretary deems reasonably necessary for access thereto, such land being in the same ownership as the dwelling, and together with any structures accessory to the dwelling which are situated on such lands and
(ii) any other building, construction of which was begun before November 23, 1971, with respect to the preserve and January 1, 1986, with respect to the Addition which was constructed and is used in accordance with all applicable State and local laws and ordinances, together with as much of the land on which the building is situated, such land being in the same ownership as the building, as the Secretary shall designate to be reasonably necessary for the continued enjoyment and use of the building in the same manner and to the same extent as existed in November 23, 1971, or January 1, 1986, as the case may be, together with any structures accessory to the building which are situated on the lands so designated. In making such designation the Secretary shall take into account the manner of use in which the building, accessory structures, and lands were customarily enjoyed prior to November 23, 1971 or January 1, 1986, as the case may be. [1]
(c) Waiver of right to relocation assistance by election of right of use and occupancy
Whenever an owner of property elects to retain a right of use and occupancy as provided in this section, such owner shall be deemed to have waived any benefits or rights accruing under sections 4623, 4624, 4625, and 4626 of title 42, and for the purposes of such sections such owner shall not be considered a displaced person as defined in section 4601 (6) of title 42.

Remember Me
So what is it exactly that links these two bands? As Darren Pujalet, drummer for Particle and Hydra, explained over the phone from his Los Angeles home, "My personal take on it is that when a band has reached the 40 year status and has broken as many boundaries as the Grateful Dead has, they're looking back and looking really at who some of the bands are. And I'm not saying Particle is 'the' band, I mean there are so many out there that are doing it right now, but in a more modern version trying to cover some of the same territory in the sense of being groundbreaking... And I think the element of Particle without vocals, and the ease of someone like Mickey being able to come and be part of it. And then also just sort of the high-energy end of it and what Particle tries to bring to the audience visually is part of their [Grateful Dead] attraction. And I think there's just a lot of respect, and I really feel that much like the Grateful Dead did in their day, I just feel like Particle is trying to step out of the box - and again, I'm not saying we are the only ones that are doing that, but I do feel like we are trying to step out of the box and not be the typical jam band."

Congratulations to Jennifer Nettles who got married this past Saturday, Nov. 26 to long-time boyfriend Justin Miller. In an article posted at People.com, the website is reporting that the couple quietly got married this past weekend during a "small, sunset ceremony in Tennessee."
The story went on to report that Jennifer wore an Alexander McQueen gown during the ceremony held at a chapel in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in front of an intimate group of close family and friends, including Sugarland bandmate Kristian Bush.
Justin Miller is an entrepreneur and former model who has been dating Jennifer for over two years. He appeared in the video for the band's 2006 single, "Want To."
You can catch Jennifer performing at the Grammy Nomination Concert Live this week, and she is also the featured host on the annual CMA Country Christmas special airing this Thursday at 9/8c on ABC.

Anderson County remembers the fallen for Memorial Day
ANDERSON COUNTY - The ones specifically honored by Memorial Day will never be able see the flags flying overhead or cover their ears before a loud volley of rifle fire.
Surviving veterans keep the day alive, unfurling flags and setting symbolically empty tables out of respect for their fallen compatriots and for those who came before.
The survivors are the custodians of Memorial Day, respectfully performing the rites on a day set aside instead for the fallen.
"It reminds you that the best ones never made it back. Memorial Day is for them," Dick Dominick said Saturday.
He lowered his ball cap and stood and said the Pledge of Allegiance along with dozens of fellow veterans — from World War II, Vietnam, the Korean War and more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan — at an event at the Anderson County Veterans Monument.
Dominick, 83, said he was proud to carry out the traditions that others would have performed in his honor had he not made it back to his hometown of Anderson after two years in an Army combat team in the Korean War.
More than 100 people — including the Anderson County Young Marines and wives and family members of veterans — attended the solemn ceremony Saturday.
"There were a couple of fellows that didn't make it," Dominick said. "I'm very proud of my service to my country. But today always reminds me of the best ones we ever had, the ones who never got to come back home."
The remembrance ceremony happens each year in front of the County Veterans Monument, which includes flags and five staircase-shaped brick walls bearing plaques with the names of thousands who have served.
Ray Todd pointed to his own name — Charles R. Todd — on one of the walls.
He is on the Korean War wall. He also served in the Vietnam War. His brother, who attended last year but was out of town this year, is listed on both walls.
"These people helped us keep our freedom," Todd said while placing his finger on one of the plaques. "A lot of people died. Some gave it their all, some gave it some, and we're still here."
While the day is intended for the fallen, it also hits the survivors hard.
"It's unfortunately something you never forget, the sacrifice that they made," said Sammy Lewis, a wounded Vietnam combat veteran.
Lewis also is the Anderson County Veterans Affairs officer.
"Of course there is a special meaning for today for me and my fellow Americans," he said. "It's a heartfelt meaning. I don't know that there are words to describe it, but the veterans, they all understand."
Not only veterans, Lewis added, but their families and fellow citizens can come to grasp the enormity of what Memorial Day means to America.
"I don't hear it very often, but some of the most patriotic people I've ever met are not veterans," he said.
Wives, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers and other family members and friends can carry with them the fear of not knowing and the longing for a reunion with someone who is serving in the military, or at least another day with no bad news.
"When my husband was in Vietnam, the worry I had was hard," said Sandra Bonds, an Anderson resident.
Her husband, John Bonds, returned, and the two are now actively involved in several veterans' groups, including her role as commander of Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary Post 40.
"When I think of Memorial Day, I think of our country and what the men have gone through fighting for it," Sandra Bonds said. "It means freedom to me. And we wouldn't have the country we have if they hadn't fought."
She urged the next generation of veterans and spouses to get involved with organizations, but understands they have family commitments.
Keynote speaker Lt. Col. Thomas Washington, married to a Honea Path native, said he has been to cemeteries of all sizes and conditions, in foreign countries and in his own nation.
"For many it's a three-day weekend instead of the solemn day we know it to be. I can tell you that wars do not discriminate on the basis of religion," he said, also noting many other categories such as age and wealth. "Wars are equal opportunity."
Washington cited a recent article in a military publication that reported that 425 service members had died in the line of duty in the past year.
"It's not too much for us to take time so we may remember those who allow us to be enjoying these freedoms," he said.
Veterans have not always been offered the respect they have always earned, said David Harper, an Anderson resident who served in the Army during the Korean War.
"But I think it's getting better," he said. "I see more people appreciating veterans these days."

Of Alfred Hitchcock's cinematic obsessions, the moving body is one of the most remarkable. He lingered on bodies in motion with a choreographer's eye to show us panic, passion and the fragile nature of sanity. Now, in a newly restored version of Hitchcock's first film, a 1925 silent movie called "The Pleasure Garden," we can see the roots of that fascination. It all started with dancers.
"The Pleasure Garden," which will be screened Sunday at the National Gallery of Art, is a tale of greed, betrayal and murder centered on a pair of chorus girls. One remains a backup dancer but the other becomes a star, because she shows more leg. Their friendship frays as Jill, the starlet, throws off her fiance to be a prince's mistress, while hard-working, naive Patsy marries a schemer with loose morals and a looser grip on reality.

About This Performance
A poem about an overpowering spring night became the starting point for Szymanowski's Concerto, fascinating in its bizarre dream-like imagery and palpable sensuality. In bypassing traditional tonality, it is considered one of the first great violin concertos of the 20th century.

Drinking Water Week Reminds Consumers To Value Precious Water Supplies
As Drinking Water Week continues, the American Water Works Association and water professionals across North America are appreciating the value of our precious water supply by focusing on how much water is needed and used in the production of everyday items such as food and clothing.
The water community is committed to the idea that by fully understanding the value of water, more can be done to protect it. For example, according to data provided by the Value of Water Coalition,
- 40 percent of water is used in agriculture to grow foods to eat and beverages to drink
- 32 gallons of water is needed to make one glass of wine
- 19 gallons of water yields one apple
- 1,230 gallons of water is necessary for the production of one beef steak
- 46 percent of water is consumed in manufacturing products to buy
- 700 gallons of water is needed to manufacture one t-shirt
- 2,100 gallons of water produces just one pair of leather shoes
- 40,000 gallons of water is needed to manufacture a single car
"When we truly grasp how much water goes into the production of our everyday foods and products, it's easy to see how valuable our water supply is," said AWWA Chief Executive Officer David LaFrance. "Once we understand the value of water, we can do more to protect such a precious resource."
More information about the value of water and our water footprint is available on the Value of Water Coalition's website.
About Drinking Water Week
For more than 35 years, AWWA and its members have celebrated Drinking Water Week – a unique opportunity for both water professionals and the communities they serve to join together to recognize the vital role water plays in our daily lives.

The Mayor's vision is for cycling in London will become an integral part of the transport network. It should be a normal part of everyday life, something people hardly think about and feel comfortable doing in ordinary clothes.
The Mayor's Vision for Cycling document sets out how this will be achieved, focusing on four key outcomes:
- A Tube network for the bike. London will have a network of direct, joined-up cycle tracks, with many running in parallel with key Underground, rail and bus routes.
- Safer streets for the bike. Spending on the Better Junctions programme will be significantly increased and substantial improvements to the worst junctions will be prioritised. With government help, a range of radical measures will improve the safety of cyclists around large vehicles.
- More people travelling by bike. We will 'normalise' cycling, making it something anyone feels comfortable doing.
- Better places for everyone. The new bike routes are a step towards the Mayor's vision of a 'village in the city', with more trees, more space for pedestrians and less traffic.
Over the next ten years spending on cycling will total £913m, more than triple the previously planned levels. This money will focus on serious, meaningful improvements to routes and junctions.
There will be particularly dramatic increases in spending earmarked for outer London. The Mayor has appointed a Cycling Commissioner, Andrew Gilligan, who has helped to draw up these policies and will drive them forward and win the support of the other bodies whose backing we need.
Crossrail for the bike
Construction has started on the new flagship route – a true Crossrail for the bicycle – that will run for at least 15 miles from the western suburbs through the heart of the capital to the City, Canary Wharf and Barking in the east. It will, we believe, be the longest substantially segregated continuous cycle route of any city in Europe.
The route will use a new segregated cycle track along the Victoria Embankment and the Westway flyover, among other places. The Westway, the ultimate symbol of how the urban motorway tore up our cities, will become the ultimate symbol of how we are claiming central London for the bike. TfL's consultation ran from 3 September 2014 to 9 November 2014. The section from Lancaster Gate to Tower Hill will open in summer 2016. A later extension will stretch to Acton.
Better Superhighways
All future Cycle Superhighways will be held to much higher standards. We have started work to substantially improve the existing Cycle Superhighways, including CS2, and full Dutch-style segregation can already be seen on the section of Superhighway between Stratford and Bow.
Construction of the first new Superhighway, a continuous, largely segregated two-way cycle track between Oval and Pimlico, has started following a successful consultation. Consultation has also taken place for Cycle Superhighway 1, a new 11km backstreet route between Tottenham, Stoke Newington, Dalston and the City of London.
A cross-London network of high quality guided Quietways is being created on low-traffic back streets and other routes so that different kinds of cyclists can choose the routes which suit them.
Unlike the old London Cycle Network, Quietways will be direct. They will be better surfaced. They will be clearly signed, mostly on the road itself, making it impossible to lose your way. Each route will be delivered as a whole, not piecemeal, and they will not give up at the difficult places.
Construction has started on the first two routes, which will run from central London to Greenwich and Hackney, with a later extension to Walthamstow.
£100 million has been allocated to transform three London suburbs into cycle-friendly 'mini-Hollands': Enfield, Kingston and Waltham Forest were successful in winning full mini-Holland status worth up to £30 million each.
Kingston will create a major cycle hub and the plaza outside Kingston station will be transformed. New high quality cycling routes will be introduced, together with a Thames Riverside Boardway, a landmark project which could see a new cycle boardwalk delivered on the banks of the river.
In Enfield, the town centre will be completely redesigned with segregated superhighways linking key destinations, three cycle hubs delivered across the borough and new greenway routes introduced.
Waltham Forest will build a semi-segregated Superhighway route along Lea Bridge Road as well as a range of measures focused on improving cycling in residential areas and the creation of "Hackney-style" cycle-friendly, low traffic neighbourhoods.
Bexley, Ealing, Merton and Richmond will also receive money to implement some discrete parts of their bids. In addition, Newham has been invited to submit a bid for funding under TfL's major schemes budget to go towards a £16m plan to remove the Stratford gyratory and reshape Stratford town centre.
Cycle Hire
London led the world in establishing a commercial cycle hire scheme. In 2010 the LCHS started out without any members and sought to build the member base on the back of investing in 6,000 bicycles and 10,500 docking points. Today, Santander Cycles has 196,000 members, over 11,000 bicycles and 18,500 docking points.
And the scheme continues to grow: 2014 was a record for hires, with 10,023,987 journeys made - up 5% on 2012 (the previous highest year) and 25% on 2013.
In December 2013, the scheme expanded to south west London with more than 2,000 new bikes and 150 docking stations for Clapham Junction, Hammersmith, Fulham and Putney. The expansion grew the area covered by the scheme by 50 per cent. Half of these new docking points are located south of the River.
Expansion to the Olympic Park and intensification of the scheme in the existing area are our next priorities. We are also looking now to speed up the hiring process with 'wave and pay' technology, and giving active consideration to the possibility of electric bicycles for hire as well.
The Santander Cycles website has everything you need to know about how the scheme works.

Tom Cruise Is in "Major Crisis Mode" Amid Katie Holmes Split, Custody Fight
Cruise has lost control.
On Saturday, Katie Holmes spent her second consecutive marathon session at the midtown Manhattan offices of her attorney. And though estranged husband Tom Cruise has not been photographed in over a week, the superstar and his team "are in major crisis mode," a source close to the Rock of Ages actor, 50, tells Us Weekly.
VIDEO: Katie's first week of freedom
"Tom's whole life . . . is being torn apart," the source says of Cruise, who was blindsided when Holmes filed for divorce and full legal custody of six-year-old daughter Suri on June 28.
"He is on the phone with his lawyers 24/7," the source explains, confirming that the Oscar nominee "is trying to hash this out" -- custody, child support and property division -- without going to court.
PHOTOS: How Tom has barely aged
Cruise, whose loyalty to the Church of Scientology and its teachings became a sticking point in his nearly six year marriage to Holmes, "doesn't want his entire life laid out for everyone to dissect anymore."
PHOTOS: Tom and Katie, the way they were
"Every move she made and everything she did was controlled . . . [Katie] felt like she was in Rosemary's Baby," another source told Us Weekly of Holmes' bold move. "She felt she had to get out to save her daughter."

Raina is another beautiful example of what happens when we match our herdsire Eye of the Storm and Gwens. She is absolutely covered from head to toe with ringlets of gorgeous fawn fiber. She has a high amplitude crimp style and the staple length is quite long. That staple length played an important part in her winning the BLUE RIBBON AND RESERVE COLOR CHAMPION banner at the 2009 COASTAL CLASSIC ALPACA SHOW. She gave birth to her first cria in June 2011, a beautiful fawn girl sired by multiple color champion Snowshoe Aristides.
SNOWSHOE Aristides is a large macho with dense and very fine fiber with high amplitude, high frequency crimp. His fiber exhibits excellent uniformity over the body. Aristides has correct conformation and a typey head. He has a calm temperament. Aristides has excelled in the show ring in the ever-competitive white male class with 3 championship banners and 3 reserve champion banners. Ari turned two in May 2010 and settled his first females soon after. He is proving to be an aggressive and dependable breeder. Aristides' first crias were born this year and are proving to be all we expected: healthy and vigorous with dense, crimpy fiber. We can't wait to see a few of them in the show ring next spring.We are determined to keep our breeding fees at affordable levels and have priced Aristides at $2000 for 2011. In addition, we are offering for sale a number of females that have been bred to Ari. We have now decided to offer half interest in Aristides. We ar

This beautiful girl is the daughter of multiple champion Snowshoe Aristides and reserve champion Stone Bridge Raina. She has full body coverage of beautiful light fawn medium amplitude fiber that has very good definition and medium to high frequency crimp. Density is also very good. Linaya's mom, Raina, has extremely long staple length in addition to beautiful fiber character so we are expecting Linaya to be an outstanding product of both her parents.

Lump in throat, which is termed as globuspharyngeus in medicine, can form due to a number of reasons. The swelling may or may not be accompanied by pain, or any other symptoms including pain when swallowing food or liquid, pain when talking, etc. Sometimes the lump cannot be seen externally in the outside, but rather felt as a sensation in the throat, usually where it causes pain and discomfort. The symptoms will be uncomfortable and annoying for the person experiencing it. The sight of a lump can cause alarm in most people, as it should, because it can be a sign of cancer.
It is not to say that all lumps forming in the throat means cancer; the swelling can be caused a lot of other reasons that can be affecting the throat region. For example, the swelling can be at the lymph nodes in the neck, separate from the throat area. This article looks at the different causes of swelling in the different parts of the throat, such as the part under the chin, or in the side of the neck. It offers some information on how the swelling forms and what can you do to treat it. There is also word on how you should spot the lump as soon as possible and find out what caused it.
Causes of Lump in the Throat
Cancer is certainly the first thing you should be worrying about when you see a lump somewhere. This type of lump usually accompanies with no feeling of pain or discomfort; more the reason it is dangerous as it is difficult to found. Cancer can start in a number of different parts in the areas close to the throat. There can be throat cancer in the larynx, or in the voice box. The cancer can be present in the thyroid gland in the front of throat; it is here that the thyroid hormone is produced. Lump in throat thyroid may mean cancer in that gland, and needs immediate attention. Most cancers develop with time, so if the lump seems to be growing then it can be confirmed as cancer.
The thyroid gland can swell due to a number of other reasons other than cancer. Any physical damage to the gland can cause it to swell, so will any infection caused by pathogens. Seeing a lump in side of throat can be used to confirm that it is the thyroid gland which is affected, as this gland spans for two sides of the neck. The swelling can be a sign of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism involves increased level of activity, anxiety and hyperactivity in the person, while hypothyroidism induces laziness and fatigue. A suitable treatment can be sought if it is either one of these hormone deficiencies.
The lumpy sensation in the throat can be caused by swelling in the tonsils, which could be so much swollen that it touches the tongue below, creating the sensation of something struck in the throat; it will also be causing pain when the sufferer is swallowing. There is another similar group of structures called lingual tonsils at the base of the tongue, which surprisingly goes deep as above the Adams apple. Therefore, enlargement in the lingual tonsils can lead to lump beneath chin which can be felt from outside. Usually infection is the cause for enlargement in the tonsil seen at the mouth or at the lingual tonsils at the base of tongue.
Sometimes the swelling can be on something that runs throughout the body. Lymph node is part of the lymphatic system that is similar to the blood circulatory system; it acts as a drainage system for the body, taking in excess fluid and preventing the buildup of fluids in any part of the body. Lymph nodes are bean like structures that is present in some numbers in the neck, armpit and groin. The lymph node can become swelled due to the usual causes such as infection or cancer. The same problems affecting any parts near the lymph nodes can also cause it to swell.
Treatment for Lump in the Throat
If the cause of the lump is found to be cancer, it should follow treatment immediately. Surgery is a good option if the cancer is in the initial stages; in fact, surgery is the most effective treatment option for cancer. For example, cancer in any of the lingual tonsils can be removed by removing the tonsils altogether by surgery. Cancer in other valuable parts of the body such as the thyroid glands can be harder to remove via surgery. Other treatment methods for cancer include chemotherapy and radiation therapy where the cancerous cells are exposed to ionizing radiation.
In the case of normal swelling in the lingual tonsils, you can follow some treatment methods to reduce the swelling and ease the pain. The best way is by fighting infection with antibiotic taken through the mouth. You may also use antiseptic sprays toward off the infection, or use any mouth wash to clean the mouth and throat. Instead of using the commercial products you can try a gurgle with salt water; it is a quick and easy home remedy for infection. It can be done several times a day to see results. You may also reduce the swelling in the lingual tonsils by keeping ice outside under the chin; it will reach the tonsils within.
It is imperative that you find the cause of the mysterious lump fast. Though there are a lot of other causes, it may mean cancer. Cancer needs to be spotted and attempted to be controlled as fast as possible after it is brought on; this is important as cancer can spread in the affected part and to nearby parts as well. You can let a sigh after you have ruled out cancer as a cause of the swelling. Afterwards you can take care of simple problems such as infection or sore throat. It is advisable to always keep checking for any lump in esophagus that you spot one as soon as it forms.

Developers Plan Condo-Hotel Tower at King's Village in WaikikiBy Adriana Pop, Associate Editor
A local development partnership between BlackSand Capital, Kobayashi Group and The MacNaughton Group is planning the construction of a new mixed-use high-rise in Waikiki, on a site currently occupied by the King's Village retail complex. Black Sand purchased the property in 2012 for $41.25 million.
According to the Star-Advertiser, plans call for a multilevel building, with heights ranging from Waikiki's current limit of 240 to 350 feet. If approved, the project would bring a 256-unit condominium hotel, a parking deck, a retail and office center and a small park.
In order to clear the site for the new development, the King's Village shopping center will be demolished, along with Prince Edward Apartments and Hale Waikiki.
In exchange for exceeding the area's height and density requirements, the developers have agreed to contribute more than $1 million in community spending, including $500,000 for Waikiki beach replenishment, support for the area's homeless community, operation of Waikiki public bathrooms after 10 p.m., construction of Americans with Disabilities Act improvements at Waikiki Community Center, and the development and maintenance of a "pocket park" on Prince Edward Street.
An environmental assessment for the project will be filed in the coming months, Elton Wong, vice president of Kobayashi Group, told the newspaper. The developers expect to break ground by 2016, once entitlements, design and permitting are in place.
In other news, the Pacific Business News reports that construction has begun on The Plaza at Waikiki, a 152-unit seniors housing project at 1812 Kalakaua Ave. in downtown Honolulu.

I am planning a brunch for about 50 friends to be held in about a month. I am working on my menu now, trying to decide just what to have from the hours of 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
I want it to be very simple, but really nice. I don't want to spend a lot of time cooking and I also want some simple things that friends can help me prepare because I don't want them to have to work too hard.

The Eighth Region's top high school boys' cage program in the form of the South Oldham Dragons put on a basketball clinic par excellence at Carroll County High School on Tuesday and in the process handed the Panthers a 75-34 defeat.
Panther head coach Carroll Yager said he hoped the game will help his team, especially the younger players who will make up the Panther teams of tomorrow, learn what it takes to compete at the state level.
Kory Barrett Brocious made the Dean's list at the University of Kentucky for the Fall 2010 semester. Brocious maintained a grade point average of 3.5. He is a 2009 graduate of Carroll County High School.

The Lady Panthers tried their best to send seniors Jill Butcher, Kyndal Curry and Tasha Hunter out with a win on Senior Night Friday. Unfortunately, when your opponent hits 13 of 29 3-pointers, it is very difficult to pull out a victory. Walton-Verona (20-8) scorched the nets from behind the arc, but Carroll County (15-12) was able to keep the game close, down only two points with a little more than 3 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. However, the Lady Bearcats pulled away at the end with a final score of 58-50.
Lacy Fox of Florence, Ky. the daughter of Samantha and Brian Riley, and granddaughter of Harriet and Tony Colello of Worthville, and the late Delmar and Lena Fox has accepted a Presidential Scholarship from Xavier University.
More than 400 Carroll County Middle School students and staff members packed the school's gymnasium with books in hand.
Facing them was an array of video camera tripods, microphone stands, and a fully-extended aerial lift, in which art teacher Corie Edens was securely perched as she filmed the crowd performing a massive wave from left to right and back again. Technology teacher Christie Jones also captured the scene on her camcorder as music teacher Chris Roode directed the movements like an aerobics instructor, calling out commands.
The Carroll County Panthers led at every quarter stop except the one that counted, falling 75-66 to Walton-Verona in their final home appearance of the season. The Panthers came out of the locker room with intensity, took control of the game early and led much of the way giving the Senior Night crowd plenty to cheer about for better than 28 minutes.

Senior Economist David Littmann recently told WXYZ-TV7 in Detroit that Michigan will be hit harder than the rest of the country if the Bush-Obama tax cuts are allowed to expire.
"Michigan would be a wipe out compared to the other states," Littmann said of the impending "taxmageddeon," noting that "Michigan can never be divorced from the national economy. We depend on the very basics of growth and income, employment, purchasing power and confidence."

What Would You Do With a Trillion Dollar Coin?
I am going to preface this blog by saying that I know relatively nothing about American economics.
I was the kid who always asked, "Why can't they just print more money?" in history class (and I still only quasi-understand the answer to that question- it has something to do with inflation, right?). It's hard for me during election season because while I'm over here yelling, "Marriage equality! Reproductive rights!"- everybody else is yelling, "Economics!" I've tried to understand it, I have- but there's so much to learn and no easy way to learn it. My youth and naivete is revealed when I can't explain what my opinions are on the debt ceiling- or even what the debt ceiling is, other than what I know from the fancy little US Debt Clock web gizmo.
Even so, I'm drawn to things that are a little bit absurd, and money? Pretty strange concept, when you think about it.
According to the internet (and we all know they can't lie on the internet), only 8% of the world's currency exists as physical cash- the rest is electronic.
Which is pretty terrifying to me. Who knows what could happen with all that money one day?
Apparently, there are loopholes when it comes to economics as well. The Washington Post says,
Thanks to an odd loophole in current law, the U.S. Treasury is technically allowed to mint as many coins made of platinum as it wants and can assign them whatever value it pleases.
Under this scenario, the U.S. Mint would produce (say) a pair of trillion-dollar platinum coins. The president orders the coins to be deposited at the Federal Reserve. The Fed then moves this money into Treasury's accounts. And just like that, Treasury suddenly has an extra $2 trillion to pay off its obligations for the next two years — without needing to issue new debt. The ceiling is no longer an issue.
This incredibly odd proposal, known as the 'Trillion Dollar Coin' idea, has been gaining a lot of attention recently (if you google 'trillion dollar coin', a number of articles will pop up- some of them legitimate, some of them biased in one way or another). Like I said before- I know next to nothing about economics. And to someone who knows next to nothing about economics, the idea sounds absurd- not necessarily in a good or bad way, just incredibly absurd. It is, essentially, making money out of nothing, isn't it?
I don't know what the political, social, or economic consequences for this would be. I don't even know how seriously it's being considered- it's gained attention, but a part of me very sincerely doubts that anything will come of it. I think it's being used more as a way to call attention to a very serious problem involving the U.S. government- and I guess it's worked, if it's gotten even my attention.
Then again, I'm not the economics expert here. Perhaps you are! Consider this your news blog for the week- I'll provide you with the information, would you like to try making sense of it? Leave a comment; I would love to hear what you have to say.
The point is this- if you think we aren't living in a dystopian society, you're probably wrong.

Opinion by Mary Ellen O'Connell
The Guardian, January 20, 2012 > Read Article
Professor Richard W. Garnett's USA Today column analyzing the Supreme Court's landmark church-state decision in Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC was picked up by the Associated Press and subsequently reported by numerous news outlets, including the Christian Science Monitor, CNN, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Salt Lake Tribune, U.S. News & World Report, and the Washington Post. Professor Garnett's amicus brief in support of the church in this case can be accessed here.
A Mississippi judge has temporarily blocked 21 of more than 200 executive pardons given this week by outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour (R-Miss.) during his final days in office, and University of Notre Dame Professor of Law Jimmy Gurulé counts himself among many who are outraged that Barbour allowed murderers to be released.
"The fact that Gov. Barbour would pardon one convicted murderer absent extenuating circumstances is deeply disturbing," says Gurulé, who, in his 23 years at Notre Dame, has taken two major leaves to serve as assistant U.S. Attorney General and Undersecretary of the U.S. Treasury Department for Enforcement. "Pardoning four convicted murderers is shocking, insulting to the surviving family members of the murder victims, and demonstrates a callous disregard for our criminal justice system and the rule of law. In my opinion, Gov. Barbour's actions are indefensible."

The department "is going against what almost every court has decided … it has taken an outlier position," said Richard Garnett, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame and a senior fellow at the Center for the Study of Law & Religion at Emory University.
As the U.S. Supreme Court opens its October 2011 term, there is intense focus on several high-profile cases and questions the justices are likely to tackle later, including those involving affirmative action, health-care reform and immigration policy. However, according to Notre Dame Law School Professor Rick Garnett, the court is already set to hear, during this first week of the new term, one of the most important church-state cases in decades (Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC).
"The case involves the 'ministerial exception' to employment-discrimination laws," Garnett says. "This exception prevents courts from second-guessing employment decisions made by religious employers regarding 'ministerial' employees. Although the Supreme Court has never squarely addressed this exception, it is a crucial doctrine for protecting religious freedom and the separation of church and state."
Professor Mary Ellen O'Connell's legal and policy analysis of the recent use of drones to kill Americans Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan in Yemen has been reported by numerous news outlets, including ABC, Reuters, MSNBC, the Inter Press Service, Huffington Post, Reuters, Financial Times, NPR's Talk of the Nation, and others. Her original CNN article on this topic can be accessed here.

That doesn't excuse his killing, said Mary Ellen O'Connell, a Notre Dame scholar who studies targeted killings. "Derogation from the fundamental right to life is permissible only in battle zones or to save a human life immediately," said O'Connell.

"The fact that (al-Awlaki) was a dual U.S.-Yemeni citizen means that he had extra protections under the U.S. constitution than he would not have had if he was just a Yemeni citizen," said Mary Ellen O'Connell, an international law professor at the University of Notre Dame's law school. "So the president has done something in my view that is highly questionable under our own Constitution."

There is an intriguing contrast as well as some similarities between the photographs of Stanley Marcus and his granddaughter, Allison V. Smith, in their "Reflections" show at [Artspace] at Untitled, 1 NE 3.
Review: Grandfather-granddaughter photo show offers strong visual impact
The exhibit contains smaller pictures of people and other subjects by the former president of the luxury brand Neiman Marcus, who died in 2002, and larger, square format photos by Smith, a Dallas photojournalist.
The color pictures of Marcus, "discreetly made during his international travels for the company," or portraying family and friends, have an informal, unforced documentary quality, which makes them especially memorable.
In a photo of "Vice President Lyndon Johnson," taken at his ranch in early 1963 by Marcus, the future president has an intent expression, at odds with his casual seated posture and gold, short-sleeved, almost exotic sports shirt.
Nearly surreal is Marcus' 1964 photo of several serious looking men, seated in a bar or café, under round-topped, umbrella-like hanging lamps, wearing "the Stetson Made Famous by LBJ."
There is something a bit surreal, too, about his photo of the backs of two priests as they look at Roman ruins, whose black hats and long black robes make their bodies almost seem to be joined, like twins.The same might be said of his 1957 picture of the back of a woman, wearing a black dress, looking down, somewhat askance, at parts of two unclad mannequins, used in something called "the French Fortnight" in Dallas.
Capturing the spirit of travel nicely are Marcus' photos of a Cadillac being lowered below deck on the Queen Mary in 1948, and of a quaintly charming merry-go-round, with small houses for seats, at "A Fair in Milan" in 1957.
Equally eye-catching — and holding — are many of the pictures of people by Marcus.
The dark suit worn by Christian Dior creates a striking contrast with the exotic pattern of fabric behind him, as the designer smokes a cigarette, with one hand in his pocket, at his Paris apartment, in a 1954 Marcus photo.
His wife sits with two female friends, wearing straw hats purchased at the market in Acapulco, the warm colors of their pink skins balancing the cool blue of the ocean behind them, in a 1962 picture by Marcus.
