Now methamphetamine is moving to Indiana's cities
|(INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.) -- Methamphetamine labs -- a growing hazard for years in Indiana's rural and suburban counties -- may be moving into the big city.
A fire Sunday at a Far-Westside motel led to what State Police said was the first meth lab found in Marion County in several years.
Area police agencies said that methamphetamine is growing in popularity among drug users here and that more labs could spring up to help meet the demand.
"It has been mostly rural as far as most of the labs, but it is now starting to show up more and more in Marion County," said Lt. J.T. Jones, assistant commander for special investigations with the Marion County Sheriff's Department.
Wayne Township firefighters were called about 11:30 p.m. Sunday to the Dollar Inn in the 6300 block of Crawfordsville Road. When they arrived, firefighters found chemicals and equipment often used in methamphetamine production in a burned-out second-floor room, said Capt. Gene Konzen of the Wayne Township Fire Department.
Sheriff's Department investigators interviewed a woman who had booked the room but made no arrests Monday.
First Sgt. David Phelps of the Indiana State Police said motel rooms provide an ideal location for methamphetamine production. The rooms offer seclusion, utilities and exhaust fans to clear out fumes.
"When they're done, they can pack up and leave," he said.
Jones said those making methamphetamine often are highly mobile and can stay ahead of investigators by going from motel to motel.
"That way it's not traced back to their home," he said. "They can get in there, cook what they need and get out of there."
Methamphetamine, also known as speed, crank or ice, often is described as "the poor man's cocaine." It is generally cheaper than crack cocaine and produces a high that lasts much longer.
It is easy to make, requiring only household chemicals and over-the-counter medicines. Instructions on how to make it are readily available and can even be found on the Internet.
Jones and Lt. Randall West, head of the Indianapolis Police Department narcotics branch, said methamphetamine use locally still ranks below marijuana and crack cocaine, but they believe it is catching up in popularity.
"Those in the know predict there's going to be a growing methamphetamine drug epidemic, if you will, in the coming months," West said.
That trend is reflected in the skyrocketing number of meth labs discovered in recent years. So far this year, State Police have investigated 263 meth labs across the state.
That's already more than double the 128 labs found in 1999 and six times the 43 found in 1998.
Until now, meth labs have been found primarily in western and southern Indiana, notably near Evansville, Crawfordsville, Terre Haute and Vincennes, Phelps said.
However, as law enforcement intensifies, meth makers have been moving east, he said. In recent months, investigators have found labs in several central Indiana counties, including Boone, Hendricks and Johnson.
"We probably have some kind of activity in every county in the state," Phelps said. "It's just finding it."
One reason meth labs have been discovered more in rural and suburban areas may be that the distinctive smells associated with meth production stand out more, Phelps said.
"A lot of the smells are not really something that would be noticeable in close proximity of a town," he said.
IPD's West said another reason may be that meth users here already have a ready supply from large producers in California and Mexico. So far, meth users haven't found a need to make it locally, he said.
"They (large producers) are bringing enough meth into the county already. They probably don't need to," he said. "But I'm sure some entrepreneur will at some point in time."

Choosing orchid pots requires some consideration. Beside the obvious....small orchid, small pot...big orchid, big pot situation, there are a few other things to think about.
Pots can be either clay or plastic. Your choice will depend on your orchid type and its watering needs.
Clay pots are porous....they breathe. The growing medium inside, dries out uniformly. Orchids with less water requirements, like cattleyas, do well in this kind of pot. Clay pots that are glazed on the inside should be avoided because the glazing keeps the clay from wicking away excess moisture. It is important to choose clay orchid pots with drainage holes because trapped water can rot the growing medium, quickly leading to root damage and unhealthy plants.
Plastic pots, being non-porous provide less ventilation for the orchid roots. The growing medium inside plastic pots dries out more slowly, and from the top down. Orchids like Miltonias and Moth orchids that prefer a slight dampness benefit from a plastic pot.
Both types of pots can have a number of holes on the sides for enhanced ventilation. For tree orchids, and varieties that like dry roots, this type can be a good choice.
When taking care of orchids there are many ways to cultivate other than in pots. For more information, click on the links below.

The conservative media has steadily advocated for Republicans to force a government shutdown, with a recent piece in the Washington Examiner saying that a shutdown "doesn't sound that bad." At the same time, however, conservative media figures are pushing the talking point that a shutdown would be the Democrats' fault.
Following the outbreak of protest against the authoritarian regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, right-wing media lashed out against the Fed's quantitative easing -- a policy aimed at keeping long-term interests rates low and pumping money into the economy -- as the impetus to the protests.
In a January 30 Big Government blog post, Chriss W. Street claimed that the second round of quantitative easing "quickly drove up commodity food prices," having a "devastating" impact on "over half the world" and sending "the middle East into flames." He added: "With the price of a barrel of oil hitting $100 dollars and food prices accelerating, those flames will spread."
Yesterday Rush Limbaugh touted Street's post, and told listeners they would "be wise to consider the possibility that part of what's going on in Egypt is because the price of food is going up and nobody in Egypt can do anything about it because the source of the problem is here."
In an October 3 Big Government post, Larry Kudlow claimed he "saw weakness when President Obama and his departing chief of staff Rahm Emanuel gave each other big, fat, full-bore hug" at the press conference to announce Emmanuel leaving Obama's staff. Kudlow further wrote:
Remember, this is on global television. And it has to do with the very top of the United States government. Our friends and enemies were all watching.
I think the hug lacked dignity. It did not send a message of American power and forcefulness. So I fret about the reaction around the world to this kind of fraternity-like emotionalism in full public view.
Why not just a dignified, stand-up, serious handshake? That's what Reagan would have done. A strong handshake shows friendship, respect, and even affection. But a big fat hug seems to go over the line.
Perhaps I'm overreacting to this. But when it comes to the presidency and the behavior of our top leaders, I think the image we want to send at home and abroad is one of serious strength of purpose. Not some kind of collegiate squeeze. Somehow the Obama-Emanuel embrace seemed demeaning -- to the presidency, to our officialdom, and to our strength of purpose.
From the November 19 edition of CNBC's The Kudlow Report:

On his CNBC show, Larry Kudlow distorted a provision in the health care reform bill proposed by Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) to claim that "if an individual opts out of this insurance plan ... apparently they face a $25,000 fine, or imprisonment, or both." In fact, the bill would levy a $1,900 "excise tax" on those who don't purchase health insurance; those who refuse to pay the tax could face a fine or prison sentence, as the Wall Street Journal editorial Kudlow cited as the source of his claim clearly stated.

From the August 7 edition of CNBC's The Kudlow Report:

The Drudge Report, Fox News, and The Kudlow Report provided a forum for a chart released by congressional Republicans that purported to show "the complex health care reform proposal by Democratic congressional leaders."
Media figures have used a recent comment by Vice President Biden -- that the Obama administration "misread how bad the economy was" -- to suggest that the economic recovery package is a complete failure, rather than noting the assessment by economists then and now that the legislation does not go far enough and that further stimulus spending may be necessary.
Larry Kudlow did not challenge -- and interrupted another guest when he challenged -- Betsy McCaughey's assertion that the Affordable Health Choices Act "pushes Americans into low-budget plans."
CNBC's Larry Kudlow claimed that "ABC is going to give up all their programming" to President Obama "to help sell health care reform," but ABC says it will "giv[e] voice to questions and criticisms" of Obama's plan.
The path here was long. Some said it would never end.

|Yalumba, 'The Scribbler' Cabernet Shiraz 2007
Fermentation was partly using wild yeasts found in the vineyard for this wine, which spent 14 months in larger 'hogshead' barrels, a quarter of which were new. The aroma is seductive and enticing, with a deep, ripe, mulberry and cassis pool of black fruit and a swirl of vanilla and cedar. There's a nice touch of Cabernet's leafiness too, adding a nice edge. On the palate the juicy, fleshy fruit quality of plum and cherry, with a black fruited, blackberry bite fills the mouth. There's a genuine sense of freshness here that is lovely, a slightly smoky character and a robustly spicy grip too, all finishing with the sweetness of the fruit counter-balanced by spice, mocha, tannin and good acidity. 91/100. Around £12.00, Berry Bros & Rudd. See all stockists on wine-searcher.com Yalumba, 'The Signature' Cabernet Shiraz 2005
Big brother, The Signature, was made in a similar way although it spent 22 Months in hogsheads (a third of which were new) and was released only after four years. There's a much darker, more Sandalwood and
|Yalumba, 'Y Series' Pinot Grigio 2008
There's an attractively fresh, aromatic pear character to this wine with just a touch of buttery pastry in the background. On the palate it is dry and mouth-watering, with a juiciness to the apple and pear fruit and a background that it nutty and quite rich, with little herbal tones. Quite powerfully concentrated, yet light in alcohol, this has a bit of bite and character. 87/100. £8.25, WineDirect. See all stockists on wine-searcher.com Yalumba, 'Y Series' Unwooded Chardonnay 2008
No oak, but some lees ageing gives this wine a fresh, apple and blossom character, with a touch of oatmeal and a light nuttiness. On the palate the fruit is ripe and juicy, with a touch of pithy grapefruit but that apple crunch and melon juiciness. The citrussy acidity is good, and this Chablis-style chardonnay has good concentration and length. 88/100. £9.10, AustralianWinesOnline. See all stockists on wine-searcher.com

A lot of changes have been made with the election process over the years, and some local poll workers have been right there helping voters get through them.
Carl Ball and Jean Hutchinson were honored by the Washington County Board of Elections Wednesday morning for their 50+ years of service.
Hutchinson began working elections in 1953, and Ball in 1960.
Both say they were honored, and a little surprised when they heard they were being recognized for their work.
"I was shakin' all over, but I was honored to be called," Hutchinson said.
"I thought they had the wrong number. I think that the people on the election board should be the ones being honored," Ball said.
Ball and Hutchinson say they remember long hours of counting ballots by hand, and are amazed at how far the process has come since they started.

India and the US should make much more natural allies than the US and China. Both are democracies. Both are pluralist societies. Both have histories of a type of racism which they have had to overcome. Both are countries which declared themselves independent from British rule. Both speak a common universal language. Both have the same genetic, ancestral, and linguistic roots.
While there clearly are cultural differences. India tends to be much more socially conservative than the US and more collectivistic while the US tends to be much more individualistic and socially liberal. However, there is so much in common that it seems like the two nations would easily form natural alliances. Each nation can definitely benefit from a strong relationship with the other.

'Wall to wall' San Andreas quake overdue
Los Angeles (UPI) Oct 10, 2010
Some U.S. seismologists are increasingly alarmed at the potential of an earthquake occurring along the entire length of California's San Andreas fault.
The San Andreas has long been considered one of the most dangerous faults in the state; however recent research has some experts fearing a future major quake could occur along its entire 340-mile length.
"My concern is that we will get a series of large earthquakes along the San Andreas fault," said Thomas Jordan, director of the Southern California Earthquake Center.
Jordan told the Los Angeles Times the quakes could include a devastating 8.1 shaker and could run "wall to wall" from Monterey to the Salton Sea near the Mexican border.
Jordan based his opinion on research from Arizona State University and the University of California, Irvine that concluded a key section of the San Andreas northwest of Los Angeles was way overdue for a major quake.
The last major quake in the section was in 1857 and was halted at the Cajon Pass north of Los Angeles., a fortunate occurrence that seismologists say can't be counted on in the future.
earlier related report
Several waves measuring up to 75 centimetres (two and a half feet) were caused by a combination of earth movement and coastal landslides.
They included banks of sediment on the sea bed, accumulated at river deltas, which were displaced by the shock and unleashed the waves as they moved, the study says.
Waves were reported west, north and south of the epicentre, which was within a few kilometres (miles) of the surface on the Enriquillo-Plaintain Garden fault, on the boundaries of two microplates in the Caribbean.
Such "slide-generated" tsunami are rare, but their risk is underestimated, according to the paper, published online in the journal Nature Geoscience.
"Even modest, predominantly strike-slip earthquakes can cause potentially catastrophic slide-generated tsunami," it says.
A strike-slip earthquake occurs when one side of the fault moves along horizontally and in parallel to the other side of the fault, rather than down or up.
Vertical displacement, especially of the seabed, is best known for creating tsunamis.
The study was led by a team led by Matthew Hornbach of the University of Texas at Austin.
The January 12 quake was in tectonic terms a surprisingly complex affair, according to new research. Two-thirds of the movement was strike-slip, and a third was a thrust, or upward, movement.
The quake inflicted huge damage to the capital, Port-au-Prince, injuring 300,000 people and leaving 1.5 million homeless.

Metro seeks opinions on changes to Eastside service
August 20, 2010
By Staff
NEW — 6 a.m. Aug. 20, 2010
Help King County Metro Transit plan future routes.
The transit agency needs sounding board members for the Bellevue-Redmond Transit Connections project. The effort includes Eastside routes serving Issaquah riders.
Metro could change bus routes near the corridor scheduled to be served by the RapidRide B Line, part of the new bus rapid transit service. Plans call for the B Line to run between the Bellevue and Redmond transit centers via Crossroads and Overlake starting in fall 2011. Learn more about the project here.
In the meantime, Metro needs community members for a sounding board to provide advice about public outreach and about how changes to bus service could serve communities.
The agency encourages people to apply if they ride the bus frequently, or if they live or work in a community served by certain Eastside bus routes. Apply here by Monday.

The whole solution is very simple.
Run neighborhood shuttles continously to the closest P & R, at the P & R have busses going all directions, plus the shuttles.
And make fares reasonable not rediculous!!

How about PRT?? This would be an ideal attraction for Kemper Freeman or the waterfront. It would really draw the crowds!!
Metro does not seem to want anyone to know about it.
Look up these web sites:

MIDDLEBURY — An event this week will help draw closer connections between local farms and the school children they feed.
On March 27, the central Champlain Valley's school community will come together for a day of inspiration, celebration and networking at the fifth annual Stone Soup Summit. Students, teachers, parents, administrators, farmers, food service managers, nurses and community volunteers will share stories of challenge and triumph and work in diverse groups to address the issues facing farm-to-school programs and school nutrition in our region.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College women's soccer team won two recent NESCAC contests to clinch first place in the league and home-field advantage throughout the league playoffs. The winner of the league postseason clinches an NCAA Division III tournament berth.
The Panthers (10-1-2, 8-1 NESCAC) are ranked No. 14 in NCAA D-III and are unbeaten since a 1-0 overtime loss at Amherst in their season opener. Middlebury returns to action this Saturday at Wesleyan, and will host a NESCAC quarterfinal on Nov. 2.

text: Can Sedition create a marketplace for digital limited edition art? Olivia Solon's Blog 17 November 11 Olivia Solon Deputy Editor, Wired.co.uk Follow @Olivia_Solon This week, the art world gave birth to a new platform called Sedition, which aims to create a marketplace for limited edition digital artworks.It has signed up some impressive names, including Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin and Shepard Fairey. These artists will produce pieces in editions of between 2,000 and 10,000, which are numbered, signed and sold for between £5 and £500, with Sedition taking a cut of the revenue.The platform aims to encourage people who might not be able to afford these artists' original pieces to become collectors of digital editions which they can access via their mobiles, tablets, PCs and connected TVs. With each purchase comes a certificate of authenticity, which -- crucially -- entitles the owner to resell the works at a later date if they so wish.Once you have bought an artwork, it gets delivered to your personal online "vault", which you can access via an app or web browser. There are currently two sorts of artworks -- static prints and videos. The former can be accessed from different devices as a JPEG and the latter must be streamed directly from the site or via the iOS app (the Android and Windows Phone apps are in development).My first thought when I heard about Sedition was "meh". Why would you pay for a JPEG or a video? What does it even mean to own a piece of digital art?However, the more I think about it, the more compelling I think it is. First of all, I can appreciate that there is a huge market for virtual goods -- worth $2.1 billion this year in the US alone. So far this has been mostly limited to twee trinkets to adorn your Facebook profiles and social games, but I can see potential in a market for higher value content. Secondly, the Sedition team has wisely gone for big hitters. As CEO Robert Norton explained to Wired.co.uk: "We went for artists that already had a big following and a proven secondary market."These are artists that are so prohibitively expensive to anyone who doesn't work at Goldman Sachs that there is no affordable way of owning even the prints. This presents people with an opportunity to do just that.Furthermore, we've seen the music and publishing industries successfully transition to the digital space, so why not art?By now even the most open-minded of Wired.co.uk readers will have their piracy klaxons blaring. Despite the digital watermarking of the artworks and a few other cosmetic nods to security, it's not going to take a rocket scientist to copy a JPEG or video file. Unlike in the analogue worlds, where you can photocopy prints or even generate new screen-printing templates, it would be an identical copy of the original -- so it's ridiculous to even talk about limited edition digital artworks. Read page 2 12 Read on one page Comments humm, interesting. I guess I like the idea of carrying art around just like we do with our music and books.. I always thought that not so far in the future, we will live in the 'cloud'. So why not virtual art? Also, it is about time to democratise art Clara Nov 17th 2011 dear oliviaI really like and appreciate your article and agree with you on your points; I think it's right to do that; looking at what the music and movie industry did wrong for ten years. I definitely, I will jumping on this idea immediately. I also agree with you in the two points: this has to be brought to TV (this might be possible with internet connected devices) and artist should create interactive content for this new medium.thank you.tim tim Nov 17th 2011 Looking at the video it is obvious how hopelessly out of touch this so called 'Artists' are with modern media (at one point comparing iPhones and Blackberrys, for example).This has nothing to do with a democratisation of art or any real progress regarding its interface, just a cynical way of encouraging nouvo riches into 'owning' affordable art. Mark Twain Nov 26th 2011 Alos, did anyone notice the draconian DRM?WHat happens if they go out of business one day? What then happens to all their 'certificates of authenticity' and records? Will they refund the buyers? Looks like a Ponzi scheme to me... Karl Marks Nov 29th 2011 "These are artists that are so prohibitively expensive to anyone who doesn't work at Goldman Sachs that there is no affordable way of owning even the prints. This presents people with an opportunity to do just that."No, this just enables artists an opportunity to SELL to anyone who doesn't work at Goldman Sachs, but without them actually receiving anything concrete and experiencing the actual object they paid for in any meaningful, recognisable, or satisfying way. "Even so, I fear that there is a huge risk of the pieces just looking like screensavers."Thats because thats what they are. Albeit with that all important;"certificate of authenticity"which entitles you to;"bragging rights"..............Gee Whizz, get to look like a credulous, boastful, pretentious prat for £500.To me, the aspect thats as important as authenticity, is TANGIBILITY. At £500 a pop (excuse the pun), if I can't hold it in my hands I'd feel like I was buying bottled air. You can actually buy a nice signed Damien Hirst exhibition poster for £200, so why would anyone bother with something I can't even print out?

Ok I have pretty much figured it out.
The Toshiba TFD50W32-B 5" LCD is 960X234. It would seem that no matter what we do it's going to have lousy vertical resolution.
I have pics of the hack in action along with a screenshot of the powerstrip settings.
The action photos are all in 848x480 mode. I suspect 640x480 looks better. It's all just temporary wiring in those pics.
Here's the relevant bits of the missing connector CN4:
04 HSync to pin 34
06 Composite Sync to pin 36 sync separator (or just vsync?)
07 SW : Low=Composite High=RGB
08 Blue
09 Green
10 Red
Tie SW pin 7 to +VCC pin 25 to select RGB mode. Leave it disconnected otherwise.
Typical 15 Pin VGA Connector
01 Red
02 Green
03 Blue
13 HSync or Composite Sync
14 VSync
I did a lot of fiddling getting the sync working and I don't really understand it. It didn't help that I started thinking csync was shared with vsync. I tried 3 different video cards. One card behaved weird in interlaced mode, the mouse cursor would display correctly but the desktop background was all twisted and smeared.
I'm not entirely certain that you can use the HSync on CN4 pin 4. I haven't managed to get a reliable sync using separate H and V. Only CSync fed to CN4 pin 6 works so far.
I'm pretty sure that I need that sync combiner circuit for my laptop. It's supposed to output CSync but it just won't play ball. Kinda wish I had an oscilloscope for this crap.
If you have any results, info, or questions just send me an email.

Ok I'm gonna get shafted for bumping this thread ... I know it's old ... but I go a few things that might help ppl with this ...
1. To get the Japanese (or any foreign language) site in English you just bung the whole URL into Google then click TRANSLATE ... at least you can get an idea of what he's saying:
Original Japanese Site Translated
2. Powerstrip v3.75 is latest:
Powerstrip v3.75
3. Guys with older VGA cards ... you might wanna try an older version of Powerstrip because v3 has left out a few old cards ... see Legacy Support below ...
Legacy support
PowerStrip 3 is intended for use with newer display cards, but to protect your investment in older hardware a wide range of otherwise orphaned display adapters are supported, including those based on chips from 3dfx, Number Nine, Cirrus Logic, Rendition, S3, and Tseng Labs. However, a handful of chips supported by older versions of PowerStrip have regrettably been dropped from Version 3.
PowerStrip 2.78
I'm outta here as I need to keep my balls ...

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo takes a reporter's question during a news conference in the Red Room at the Capitol on Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013, in Albany, N.Y. Cuomo's popularity has plummeted among Republicans, Democrats and independents after he pushed tougher gun control measures into law after the Connecticut school massacre.

Bitter pill: The cost of health care in the U.S.
Health Care can be Low Cost
Most of us have seen all the annoying spam for discounted prescriptions in Canada. As with all good tales there's a touch of reality in the story. Discounted prescriptions are just a part of it though because it's likely that before you go visit the pharmacy you'll likely need to see a Doctor or even visit a clinic or hospital. Indeed as I reported at CNN a few years ago I was hospitalized in critical care for about 3 weeks with literally hundreds of tests to determine that I had Necrotizing fasciitis or Flesh Eating disease. Although I survived the ordeal, I am very aware that had this happened to me in the USA I may bot have survived the financial disaster that would have followed me upon discharge.
We are not smug Canadians snickering at our neighbours and best friends. We are a nation of people that have a great deal of difficulty understanding how the economically largest and most powerful country in the world can let this happen to her people.
Health care in Canada is not a privilege it's a right embedded tight there in our Charter of Rights. Some provinces charge a fee up to a maximum of $35 per month per person but most of Canada pays no direct fee. Obviously our system has flaws. We hear some Americans say that our health care system is broken. Really? Why is it that we spend much less per person in medical care yet our life expectancy is greater here?
My sister had a son that died of Cancer a few years ago. She had lived in Germany for many years and came back to Canada to raise her son when he became ill. She never worked at all for 9 years while he was being treated. As we do not pay directly for care we could not accurately assess the cost but it was certainly well over a million dollars. The only charges she had any trouble with were parking charges at the hospital. They ended up evening dropping those. It did not matter that she was poor or rich this was not at all a factor, which is exactly as it should be. All Canadians would agree.
Our system in Canada is still evolving. As we age changes are sure to be made but one thing remains absolutely certain, not one person in Canada left, right, communist, capitalist, liberal, conservative is prepared to let our health care system.
I challenge every American to visualize a future where you do not "ever" think about the cost of your or your family's health care. Imagine actually taking or leaving a job for something other than health care.
You may think Doctors here get a lousy deal out of all this. I just happen to be married to one and I can tell you that Doctors here are not hurting. They are all self employed and bill anybody they want for their services, including the local government if that be the case.
Included is a typical bill for monthly health care coverage on my province for a family of 4. There is no deductible.

Great Pay, Great Employment Levels – It's Worth Being a Nutritionist in California
May 10th, 2013, Kelly GibsonMatching School Ads
We all know that California is the most populous US state. Home to more than 30 million people, it's understandable that becoming a nutritionist in this state is a great choice because there are many requiring the services of someone to guide them towards smarter eating habits. But there are other benefits of going for a career as nutritionist in CA too.
California is One of the Top Paying States for Dietitians and Nutritionists
On average, dieticians and nutritionists in California earn about $68,700 per year, which is much higher than the national average for people in this occupation. The mean hourly wage at $33.03 is also fairly good, promising a great income potential for all students pursuing an accredited degree in nutrition or a related field.
Great Pay in Some Metropolitan Areas
Californian metropolitan areas such as Vallejo-Fairfield, Salinas, Oakland-Fremont-Hayward, Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-Goleta, Stockton and Sacramento—Arden-Arcade—Roseville are among the top ten metropolitan areas in the US that pay dietitians and nutritionists the most. Seeking a job in this field in one of these areas is therefore a wise decision.
Besides the Pay, Employment Levels are also High
California has the highest employment level for dietitians and nutritionists in all of the US. With 6,300 jobs for people in this field in CA, that's over 10% of all dietitians and nutritionists in the US! The Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale has the highest employment level here with 1,740 jobs for this occupation.
Best Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities in California
Nutritionists and dietitians usually work in hospitals and nursing care facilities. Some of the best hospitals in the US are in California, assuring a great working environment for aspiring entrants in this field. Examples of top hospitals include the UCLA Medical Center, White Memorial Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, Methodist Hospital, and many more.

- Applied Nutrition Research
- Public Health Nutrition
- Microbiology for Health Sciences
- Community Health Nutrition

- Food Production
Besides the courses, students are also required to undertake a training program in the form of an internship before they can start practicing as a dietician or nutritionist. Some colleges have this training program as a part of their curriculum.
All in all, pursuing this career through an accredited program in nutrition or a related field in California is a great choice that you must strive for.

Separating myth from reality can be difficult when discussing these sneakers. Yes, sneakers. But we know they're not just any pair of kicks — they're a faithful reproduction of the shoes worn by the best basketball player of all time on the best athletic team ever assembled in the history of sport. There's actually enough basketball lore to go around in discussing Michael Jordan and the Dream Team that even the inconvenient realities surrounding them won't diminish their greatness — i.e., the squad's first scrimmage against a college team featuring the likes of Chris Webber, Penny Hardaway and Bobby Hurley ended in a loss, and it wasn't Michael who was the leading scorer during the '92 Olympics (that would be Sir Charles). The Dream Team is simply a great story, one every basketball fan should look into, but to experience the saga vicariously, pick up a pair of these sneakers. The "Olympic"-edition of the Air Jordan VII is available July 21st at Jordan Brand retailers like London's Foot Patrol.

Any serious strategy to preventing the growth of the federal debt must include across-the-board cuts, including the military.
With the war on terror in Afghanistan winding down, that means billions in annual savings as troops come home. However, that "peace dividend" might not be enough for the military to escape the budget ax. The Pentagon is looking at cutting $500 billion over the next 10 years. That means there could be a direct or indirect impact on military missions in Northwest Florida.
Some military leaders are being prudent by preparing for deep cuts that are looming. A recent Associated Press story reported that the Air Force is ready to reduce flying hours by nearly 20 percent. If more cuts kick in, "all noncombat or noncritical flights from July through September" could end, the AP reported.
That sobering news was in a memo from Air Force Secretary Michael Donley in which he outlined a cutting strategy that included a hiring freeze, halving money budgeted for base improvements and repairs and canceling air shows and flyovers by the Thunderbirds, the Air Force's version of the Navy's Blue Angels. Like the Blues, the Thunderbirds have a full schedule in 2013 including flyovers for NASCAR races, an air show in Dayton, Ohio, and appearances in Cocoa Beach and Fort Lauderdale in Florida. The Thunderbirds could get grounded, disappointing hundreds of thousands who will attend their shows.
Those are just immediate needs if the issue is not resolved by March. Deeper cuts, including civilian furloughs, also are being considered.
At the same time, the Navy is looking at a hiring freeze, postponing the decommissioning of ships and cuts to base improvements. Any impact on the Blue Angels was not mentioned in the story.
When cuts are made, someone will be disappointed. Congress members each have pet projects in their districts. Having those trimmed or eliminated is never easy, but it needs to be done to get the financial house in order.
When he questioned the nation's fiscal sanity, U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Chumuckla, said everything in the federal budget has to be up for review on whether it should be cut. He was explaining his vote in opposition to the fiscal cliff at the end of 2012 when he said it's time to get serious. We hope he makes good on his promise to find the right cuts.
The federal budget is hundreds of pages containing thousands of line items, including programs that are inefficient, poorly run or just plain useless. However, they have people in Congress who support them year after year. Therein lies the problem. What's needed is serious discussion and review of each department to see what's absolutely vital to the country, not what will guarantee re-election in 2014.
Anything less than that commitment will be a failure.

A crestfallen Steelers Nation returns to its normal routine
Steelers/NFL Videos
Tim Donovan was so depressed about the Steelers' Super Bowl loss that he went to work yesterday.
Originally scheduled off, Donovan, 45, of Bon Air said he couldn't bear to stay home and listen to sports analysts repeat game highlights.
"It's not like I was laying on the floor in tears or anything," said Donovan, a videographer at West Penn Allegheny Health System. "I just knew if I was off today, I'd be sitting home watching ESPN and reliving the game."
A crestfallen Steelers Nation returned to work, schools and daily routines, trying to remain upbeat a day after the Green Bay Packers crushed dreams of a seventh Super Bowl title.
"I'm heartbroken. This is going to take some time to get over," Matt McVicker, 35, of Canonsburg said upon landing at Pittsburgh International Airport. McVicker went to the game in Arlington, Texas, as did Jim Spagnolo, 53, of Shaler.
"I'm definitely depressed," Spagnolo said.
Employers and schools across Western Pennsylvania reported people's spirits were down, but most showed up for work or classes.
"I haven't really noticed any change in mood, to be honest," said Wendy Zellner, a spokeswoman at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. "I haven't seen anyone sobbing at their desks or anything. I think people enjoyed the game but were sad that the Steelers lost."
Attendance at North Hills Senior High School of 86 percent was below the norm of about 95 percent, said spokeswoman Tina Vojtko.
"It's probably about what I expected," Vojtko said. "We also have a number of students who came in late."
Staff at Highlands School District had an in-service day starting at 7:30 a.m., and most showed up on time, wearing Steelers gear as part of a fundraiser for an ill graduate, said district spokeswoman Misty Chybrzynski.
Dr. Kurt Ackerman, medical director of adult mood and anxiety services at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Oakland, said people who identify with the Steelers will be the worst affected by the loss. The more loyal the fan, the more he or she will be down, he said.
"I think it's more grief than depression," he said. "What I expect for the great majority of people is that this is something that we'll see at its worst immediately after the game and perhaps for a day or two after, but it will soon get better as people start investing in other activities."
Fans returning from Texas said bad weather, difficulties getting around the sprawling Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and problems at the stadium on game day compounded the pain.
Rita Polansky of North Strabane was among 1,200 fans affected by a seating foul-up. After waiting four hours in line to get in the stadium, she was directed to a media lounge, where she had to watch the game on a monitor.
"You can't believe my stress level right now," she said.
The Steelers arrived at the Findlay airport on a chartered Boeing 767 about 3:40 p.m. The hulking, 204-seat US Airways jet taxied to a hangar behind Atlantic Aviation with a Steelers flag and Terrible Towel flying out of a cockpit window.
There wasn't a throng of fans to greet them.
"Win or lose, we'd be here. They've done some great things," said Di Mance, 65, of Moon. She and her husband, Jim, were among three fans in a parking lot at the airport's cargo area who caught a glimpse of the Steelers through a fence as they got off the plane about 100 yards away.Additional Information:
Mass call-off at jail
Eighty guards at the Allegheny County Jail -- about 21 percent of those scheduled to work -- called off Super Bowl Sunday, costing the county $24,141 in overtime to fill shifts, an official said.
'We're completely incensed about this,' county spokesman Kevin Evanto said. 'It's frustrating because it happens every time the Steelers go to the Super Bowl. We understand people are excited and want to watch the game, but people need to show up and do their jobs.'
Chuck Mandarino, president of Allegheny County Independent Prison Employees Union, declined to comment. Interim Warden Daniel Burns did not return a call.
Evanto said 85 guards called off for the Steelers' Super Bowl appearance in 2009 and 80 guards called off in 2006.
An audit released last month by County Controller Mark Patrick Flaherty said sick-day abuse is one reason overtime costs doubled to $4.1 million in 2009. Call-offs during Super Bowl XLIII in 2009 cost the jail $23,031 in overtime pay, the audit found.
Evanto said guards must produce written medical excuses for missing work Sunday. Jail policy requires excuses on holidays and special occasions. Violators could be subject to discipline, he said.

Javier Aviles, an employee of the Atlantic City Tourism District, power-washes a sidewalk near the casinos in Atlantic City N.J. Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2012. State officials are evaluating their efforts to improve cleanliness and public safety in the tourism district as calls mount for them to approve casino gambling in other parts of the state.
- Filed Under
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - Efforts to improve Atlantic City and promote it to other parts of the country are beginning to pay off.
That's the consensus of state officials who have been assessing efforts to make the seaside gambling resort safer, cleaner and more appealing to tourists.
Jeff Guaracino of the Atlantic City Alliance says research shows people in New York and Baltimore have better perceptions of Atlantic City. Guaracino also says new private investment is starting to occur.
The success or failure of those efforts will go a long way toward determining whether New Jersey eventually allows casino gambling in other parts of the state.
Gov. Chris Christie says the reforms need a few years to succeed.

Security researcher Jacob Appelbaum revealed what he calls "wrist-slitting depressing" details about the National Security Agency's spy programs at a computer conference in Germany on Monday where he presented previously unpublished NSA files."They would be able to break into this phone, almost certainly, and turn on the microphone," Appelbaum said at one point as he re-inserted the battery into his mobile device. "All without a court, and that to me is really scary."

Kudos to Memphis entrepreneur Gregg Overman, who has received the 2012 Memphis Rising Star Award from the Tennessee Small Business Development Center.
Overman is the owner of River City Soap Co. and was named this year's winner because of his business success and his continued use of TSBDC services. The facility, which is located at Southwest Tennessee Community College, offers a variety of services to small business owners.

West Bay on the Jurassic Coast.
The Black Ven landslide is one of the largest coastal landslides in Europe. The slip from 1958/9 pushed mud approximately 200m into the sea and the remnants of one slip can still be seen as an arc of boulders in the lower left of the image. As a result these beaches are famous for fossils as are the ledges at low tide ...
One of the classic views of the Dorset and East Devon coast (Jurassic Coast) World Heritage Site. The rocks here are Lower Jurassic clays (190 million years old) overlain by much younger Upper Greensand, which is from the Cretaceous period. The combination of porous sandstone overlying impermeable clays gives rise to l...

I always wake up depleted after a Searching Dream. That's what I've taken to calling the nightly dramas I have so often, Searching Dreams. It's almost impossible to explain them to a second party, but I think I'm supposed to try.
My searching dreams always have a destination I urgently need to reach - only I'm unable to make any forward progress because the setting and the circumstances keep changing.
I may start out on a bike that morphs into a car, or a motorcycle that becomes a boat, but every vehicle I find myself in will inevitably fail and force me to change modes of transportation about the time the road loops back, detours, or washes out completely, leaving me to find yet another game plan as my destination lies so tantalizing near yet out of reach. These changing but similar scenarios loop throughout the dream, which may be minutes or even seconds, but it feels like hours.
As you might imagine, these dramas wear me out. I used to ask God to take them away but I don't anymore.
Some time ago, after another long night of getting nowhere fast and waking up exhausted, I decided that instead of asking God to stop the dreams, I'd ask Him for understanding concerning them. There may be a ton hundred of qualified psychologists out there reading these words who would love to take a stab at that, but I'd like to tell you what I've come to believe.
I believe Father might be allowing me to feel in the night, all of the frustration, anxiety, fear and exhaustion that others feel in the day as they search for satisfaction in this world apart from a relationship with Christ, all that my heart might be burdened for theirs. I've decided that if these dreams play even the smallest part in compelling me to continue sharing His love and proclaiming His goodness with everyone I can, it's an honor to give up some sleep for the One who gave us His life.

CoE Star Party
James Hall
Guests: 90
Grounds good. Harlan working. I replaced the batteries in the Harlan TelRad, but still wasn't working so just used regular finder scope. Ealing Telrad working fine. Ealing tracked about 80%. Noticed something wrong with one of the 2" eye pieces. It looks like it was coming apart, the plastic and rubber were separated. I left it in the case for now but wasn't sure if we should try and repair it or replace it.
I was there at 7pm, when a very large group of adults and children arrived that didn't seem to speak much English. They didn't stay until dark, but walked around the observatory and grounds.
Mostly high cirrus clouds. Viewed Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Saturn,and Full Moon (in that order). Many passed around the binoculars to view items like the Orion nebula. The clouds were parted just enough for when most guests came to visit for the planets. But too many clouds for when ISS flew over. The place was completely full by 9:30. All were very impressed and were constantly hearing the word "Wow" all night long. Many had great things to say about Darin that had been at the observatory the night before.
Left at 11:30p, temp 71º.

Glorious Glee: Chris Colfer on joining the Cheerios and his TV boyfriend
Chris Colfer says he's excited to see out Glee club member Kurt get a boyfriend in future episodes, but there has to be just the right balance in the power couple. "I don't want to be the downside to the relationship," Colfer complained to Digital Spy, "so I'm hoping he's less good-looking than me!"
Spoken like a true A-gay.
Colfer elaborates on the rigorous demands of paying proper tribute to Madonna in the much hyped Madgetastic episode and other developments in Gleekdom after the jump:
The all-Madonna episode of Glee will be a feat fit for the queen. Colfer confesses, "That episode really took it out of all of us because there were nine musical numbers and tons of dancing. Every other sentence, someone bursts out into song!"
But there's more to look forward to when Glee returns with fresh episodes featuring two of our favorite sassy singers infiltrating the enemy! Colfer says he and costar Amber Reilly are having a great time cheering for Sue Sylvester.
"I think joining the Cheerios was way more fun than it was meant to be," he gushes. "We are definitely in the Cheerios for a while. They come up with some genius story lines - who would have thought to put Kurt and Mercedes in the Cheerios?!"
It is surprisingly scrumptious when the different facets of the Glee world intertwine. Just think: if Kurt got the football team snapping it to "Single Ladies," the possibilities for performing with the choreographed champion Cheerios could be endless…

I bought this " Carnival Book " Michael Miller laminted cotton more than a year ago and finally found a pattern small enough for a 3 year old. Problem is not enough. This lamiated cotton does not appear to be in stock anywhere now and at $15 a yeard I hate to toss it. Does anyone know who might have it still ? It's a brown backgrond w/pink and other color flowers.

did you cut the whole pattern out or did you just lay it out?
If you didn't just make it a little shorter then the pattern.

I just found that laminated fabric on Etsy. It is sold by a site called Just Laminates. It is on page 2 and is being sold for $15.00 per yard.
I am not in any way affiliated with this seller but do buy stuff on Etsy.
You do have to be willing to use PayPal. I haven't been able to find the fabric any where else.
------Sewing and reading about sewing are daily pleasures.
I hope to use up lots of stash in 2015.

Maybe you could just use the same type fabric.. but in a solid color for some of the pieces.. such as the pockets. belts. or the sleeves.. or even a solid back .. with the pattern on the front.. As long as it closely matches it should be fine..
Is there any way you could use a coordinated print with it? Like hood, pockets , or sleeves. Here's a coordinate for $11.99:

FYI I am not affiliated, but I want to assure you you can buy from Etsy without issue...at least I have never had a problem. I love supporting small business, crafters, artists, etc.
I took the exact image of the fabric you posted, and ran it through the Tin Eye image browser here:
It came up with 24 hits of webpages (not just fabric stores but anyone at all for any reason) that are right now, using the same image. Just for any old reason. You could do that yourself and check them all out, that might give you some more resources of getting some more of it. That would not be all of them at all though, as if others were taking their own pictures/photo's of the fabric instead of just copying it from another source, the pixels would be way different in those, and probably just the way the little patterns and medallions in the fabric would fill the image too.
Tin Eye image brower? Oh my, the future is upon us.
------No sewing project is ever a complete success nor a total failure.
Stumbled across this when I was window shopping this evening...

I just so happened to have mine is pieces while I redo the car's bezel.
Display area:
Diagonal: 8.044"
LCD Panel (Outside):
Height= 4.729"
Width= 7.447"
Casing (Outside):
Height= 5.103"
Width= 7.623"
The correct native resolution is 800x640 but do to limitations of the VIA Mini-ITX motherboards I run mine in 800x600 and it looks good enough. It also handles 1024x768 just fine but stuff is too tinny to see.
try this...
Finally somebody with the bios/driver
Be sure to reed through the whole post... is covers the MII and M10000
what kind of switch/button/anything does this screen use to turn on? is it a momentary switch? im sure we can come up with something to turn it on and off automatically. with all the good reviews, im going down to measure the room in my car to see if i can make it fit!

I know this is asking a lot (since it already doesnt even have auto-on feature)
but does it by any chance switch from one input to another (say VGA to RCA) if a video signal appears on the RCA input ? (for reverse camera purposes)

I was especially disappointed in that you have to hold it in for 3 seconds to even turn it off. I ended up attaching it to the ignition wire so it would turn off automatically. That helped a lot!
I bought a used Provision PRTV 800 8" lcd touchscreen. Both RCA video inputs work but there was a broken wire on the VGA plug. I repaired it but when I went to plug it in I realized that the plug on the end of the VGA cable was a 7 pin and the female plug on the board was a 9 pin. Is this similat to yours? I have no documentation for this monitor and calling Provision in Houston for support was a total farce. Can anyone help me?
You will need the extension cable or something like it... read post #4.
D201GLY2, DC-DC power, 3.5 inch SATA
Yes, you should search... and Yes, It has been covered before!
Read the FAQ!
I got the same screen, i need to work on the circuit board to make it to turn on whenever it receives +12v, anybody knows ?
So how easy is this screen to fit into a into a double din hole. my Tiguan has a nice size opening and want to get the biggest screen that will fit for easy viewing.

io9 has posted a piece on their blog titled "20 Careers That Will Make the Future Less Dystopian" that is worth a look. They write, "We all want to make a difference in the world, and it would be awesome to be able to get paid for contributing to humanity's future. So next time you're between jobs and reskilling or retraining, here are some possibilities you might want to look into" (listed by category below):
Environmental - Beekeeper | Water Purification Expert | Seed-Bank Staffer (or organic farmer) | Environmental Lawyer and Non-Profit Worker | Environmental Cleanup Technician | R&D Tech at Automaker | Biologist
Medical - Stem Cell Researcher | Epidemiologist | Drug Researcher/Pharmaceutical Pirate | Bioinformatician
Political - Hacker/Cyberactivist | Debt Counselor | Teacher | Artists and Citizen Journalists | Translators
General Quality of Life - Aerospace Engineer | Anything for NASA's Near Earth Object Program | Urban Planner | Archivists/Librarians
A good list...Do you think anything is missing? The authors have invited feedback on their site, and I'd be interested to see what Worldchanging readers think in our comments below. Off the top of my head I'd say builders, carpenters, architects and landscape architects are a few missing links; after all, who will design and build all the excellently planned cities the urban planners imagine?
For a full description of each position and why they're important for the future, see the full post.

thte tredn for careers is people working from home and multiple positions
Those seem like very 'giving back to humanity' type of careers. I think I would be most interested in becoming a teacher. I don't think I am skilled enough to be a aerospace ;)
i'd like to see all builders become green and LEED certified. Building for a greener environment should be the standard. In Remodeling San Diego, we are seeing happen a lot, but not quickly enough.
I also work with a Toner San Diego company that gives extra incentive for customers to recycle their toner cartridges. Would like to see much more of that.
Interesting list of careers but I believe with the power of social media increasing and with the likes of Facebook becoming more powerful there will be plenty of opportunity for careers in this market and many that will have an opportunity to have a big influence on opinion.

I'm surprised there is no mention of energy professions - renewables, grid, IT. Materials Scientist, Computation and Mathematics is way more important than "cyber activist." They are people behind the scenes that really change the way we look at the world. Fundamentals, not flashy fronts of environmental and social change. I'm also surprised that the entire heading of "Economics" is missing, I think changing the way we think about the economy and finance will be a huge factor in improving our world.
Green IT is next hot career choice. IT is still booming but concern towards the impact of IT against environmental is increasing.
I think the trend is largely towards home based businesses and also service professions so that we will continue to see people work for themselves from home.
As a community it is obviously important that we become more socially responsible so renewable energies, recycling and research and development will be vital professions for the future.
I have to agree with the previous comments-- there is a distinct lack of the basics here-- what good is a seed bank technician without farmers to grow the crops? What good is a water purification expert without hydrogeologists to find potable water in the first place? --Or any of the tech. and IT fields without basic resource people (i.e., geologists and scientists) to find the metals to actually build the IT you're using without fueling civil war in the Congo? Green Engineers to design new technology to adapt to a future where cheap energy may be much less abundant? Mediators / Conflict specialists to handle negotiations of sparse resources? Social workers to handle all of the trauma (for instance, that is currently happening in the deep south as oil washes up upoon its shores). Machinists... tool and dye makers, plumbers?
Idealism is great. Optism is great... but they need to be mixed in with reality a little bit more. None of the jobs mentioned above can function without an infrastructure in place to support them... and that infrastructure is built and maintained by blue-collar and technical jobs that already exist that aren't "hip".
I'd like to hear more about how a beekeeper will help contribute to humanity's future?
Well, Nice list, but I think you missed some interesting jobs.
I was between jobs few months ago, I'm a programmer, I developed applications for the last 12 years and I decided, I want to do something else, something that will be better for me and will cause some joy and happiness to my kids as well as others.
So I came with the online games site idea, a site that kids and family can spend time together, play and have fun.
I think it is important at least as some of the other careers you mentioned, we have to make our present good at least as we want our future to be...
This is quite triggering news and I would love to see its result when time permits. But I guess other jobs should be placed in there and have them categorized too.
I agree with Joe - where's the basics?
I definitely think gardener and botanist should be there, there is an ever increasing lack of interest or more importantly knowledge about the natural world.
Grand list of interesting careers you have listed. But where is there any on energy or new technologies in that area? It seems to me that we are faced with the need for new energies brought and made here at home. Let's get rid of our dependecy which is a MUST.
I think your right. having a wider career option for young generation, is of high priority.
Architects should be on the list. The world needs them for a better future.
