Keith Munro, former Nevada Gov. Kenny Guinn's late-term appointee to the state Gaming Control Board, was expected to step down Wednesday and take a position as chief of staff for the attorney general, The Associated Press has learned.
A spokeswoman for Attorney General Catherine Cortez-Masto wouldn't confirm or deny that Munro will take the new post in her office. Munro, who formerly served as a chief deputy in the attorney general's office, wasn't immediately available for comment.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Cortez Masto would complete a legal opinion on the validity of former Gov. Guinn's appointment of Munro to the GCB and new Gov. Jim Gibbons' appointment of Randy
Sayre, the Control Board's veteran chief of staff, to the panel that oversees Nevada's multi-billion-dollar casino industry.
Because of the clashing appointments, the board was meeting in Las Vegas on Wednesday with just two members, Dennis Neilander and
Mark Clayton. Neilander, the board chairman, had requested the opinion from Cortez Masto in efforts to resolve the dispute over the appointments.
Gibbons has defended his move to dump Munro, saying it wasn't political. He said he named Sayre in an effort to preserve "the integrity of the most respected gaming institution that we have in this state and, in fact, worldwide."
Gibbons also has denied he took his oath of office at midnight on New Year's Eve in his Reno home to bolster the legal argument that was used by the new Republican governor to undermine the former GOP governor's appointment of Munro, who had been Guinn's chief of staff for the past year.
Gibbons chief of staff Mike Dayton has said Gibbons believes he had the power to appoint Sayre because he took office at the point that the Control Board position officially became vacant.
Gibbons became governor about 12 seconds after midnight, marking
the first midnight oath of office in Nevada history.
Gibbons insisted security concerns prompted him to take office as soon as possible. He also said he wanted to share the occasion
with his closest friends.

NARRAGANSETT - At TuesdayŌĆÖs Recreation Advisory Board meeting, Parks and Recreation Director Steven Wright gave an update on the townŌĆÖs cleanup work post-Hurricane Sandy, as well as provide information on the status of a number of town buildings that have been identified for renovations by Wright.
ŌĆ£A lot of our buildings have not had any money put into them, and I am not a big advocate of throwing good money into bad,ŌĆØ said Wright.
Wright, who was selected by the town council as permanent Parks and Recreation director in July after a 30-year career with the Rhode Island Department of Management, has created an inventory of town buildings which need attention and has prioritized the most problematic structures for renovations.
Wright first discussed the roof of the Parks and Recreation center at Clarke Road, which has been in need of significant repairs, particularly the roof. In May, the town council turned down WrightŌĆÖs request to have the roof replaced at a price of $94,745, quoted by local contractor Abcore Corporation, because council members felt it needed to go out to bid.
Because of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, the town will now be able to associate roof repairs with other storm damages.
ŌĆ£We had the adjustor come down, and the roof is being replaced through the[townŌĆÖs insurance provider] Interlocal Trust,ŌĆØ said Wright. ŌĆ£They hired C & L Builders to conduct work, and will put half-inch plywood on the roof. The town is paying $13,000 for [repairs] to the roofŌĆÖs faissure and soffit, which is not covered by the Trust.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Although we will need to address siding and windows down the road, this is good news,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£It is a beautiful building.ŌĆØ
At the October 22 regular meeting, the Town Council approved unanimously to create a master list of architectural/engineering contractors who might potentially be hired for town capital projects. The list will be used by the town as a resource for potential vendors, but according to the town, was not designed with any particular project in mind.
ŌĆ£There are a certain number of projects that require us to go outside for additional help, architectural and engineering projects we canŌĆÖt do in house,ŌĆØ said Town Engineer Jeffry Ceasrine in October. ŌĆ£Following the lead of the council, we thought it was more appropriate to go out and create something similar to what the state does for a master pricing agreement.ŌĆØ
Wright also discussed improvements to town buildings such as the Gazebo in the Pier area and concession buildings at George C and Christofaro parks. The town has awarded a contract to Carrigan Engineering to redesign the parking lot entrance at the community center to improve its ADA accessibility.
An update on the townŌĆÖs ongoing discussions with insurance and relief agencies in the wake of Hurricane Sandy was also given by Wright on Tuesday evening. Acting Town Manager Dean Hoxsie stated earlier this month that the town is looking at approximately $2 million in damages to Narragansett Town Beach and the buildings which rest on site.
Hoxsie noted, however, that that figure does not represent all out-of-pocket expenses, but will change depending on how much is covered by funding from the townŌĆÖs insurance provider, RI Interlocal Trust, the National Flood Insurance Program, and ultimately the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
ŌĆ£There are over 100 items weŌĆÖve identified [in town], from a tree down to major structural damage to buildings, and weŌĆÖve met with everyone,ŌĆØ said Hoxsie at the time ŌĆ£[Town Engineer] Jeff Ceasrine will meet Saturday morning with the flood insurance folks.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£We are well underway to doing all our FEMA work, such as documenting overtime and vehicles used, just everything done during the storm and in the aftermath,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£That whole process started during the storm, and we track everything.ŌĆØ
Wright further expressed the same concerns from Hoxsie for the replenishment of the town beach itself. Engineering firm Woods Hole Group, which the town hired to analyze the beachŌĆÖs sand loss after Sandy, estimates that approximately 20,000 cubic yards of sand was lost, and only 8,000 to 10,000 cubic yards have been collected into the beach parking lots. On Tuesday, Wright stated that the town met with FEMA to address the beachŌĆÖs replenishment.
ŌĆ£FEMA acknowledged the sand in the parking lots,ŌĆØ said Wright. ŌĆ£So long as we sift the sand and put the work out to bid, we can place it back on the beach.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£FEMA will not replace the 11-12,000 [cubic yards of sand] because Narragansett Town Beach is not an Army Corps of Engineers-engineered beach,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£That is going to be a problem. Now, [the Engineering] department is putting plans together for that to go out to a formal bid.ŌĆØ
Wright also noted that the ramp at the town beach cabanas might not be covered, and addressed potential repairs to the south beach pavilion parking lot.
ŌĆ£Our internal discussion is it doesnŌĆÖt make a lot of sense to spend a lot of money on that south lot,ŌĆØ said Wright. ŌĆ£We want to patch it and make it serviceable for this coming season, but donŌĆÖt want to spend money on repaving the entire lot. We are working with Deepwater Wind and why have them come back in a year and dig it up again.ŌĆØ
The Middlebridge property, which was purchased by the town for $1,442,000 in August, sustained flood damage during Hurricane Sandy, and Wright stated the townŌĆÖs efforts to properly permit and renovate the 9.51-acre property have now been delayed.
ŌĆ£The Parks and Recreation department was asked to manage [the Middlebridge property] on a day-to-day basis until the town council could establish policies and who would manage it,ŌĆØ said Wright. ŌĆ£We were on a pretty good track until the storm came because everything down there is below the flood plain.ŌĆØ
A number of the buildings on the property, including the restaurant and the cottages, were flooded.
ŌĆ£There are a lot of issues there to deal with,ŌĆØ he added. ŌĆ£We are just trying to keep things consistent there until the council decides what will happen to Middlebridge.ŌĆØ

Boxing: Juggling day-to-day duties with Air Force 178-pound championship

F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo.
-- This Airman has grown up watching some of boxing's greatest fighters such as Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard and Evander Holyfield. But he holds the right to call himself the best in the Air Force because he has held the Air Force light heavyweight boxing championship since 2006.
Capt. Rodney Ellison, 319th Missile Squadron, won his third Air Force boxing championship at the 178-pound weight class Jan. 19 at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas.
He began his boxing career in late 2000 as a junior at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
"My roommate was on the boxing team and he talked me into joining him for a practice," Captain Ellison said. "The next morning I woke up sore in places on me that I didn't even know I had muscles. So I went to another practice just to work out the soreness."
After about a month of practices he said he was hooked.
"The coach walked up to me one day and asked me when I wanted to have my first fight," Captain Ellison said. "Then I looked at him and asked if I was on the team. The coach said that since I had been showing up for practice for about a month I was on the team."
Captain Ellison's first fight didn't go as planned but he said it only made him train harder.
"In my first fight I got my butt kicked," he said. "But I'm the type of person that feeds off of failure. So I trained harder.
"My next real fight was during an academy meet," he added. "I came in third place for the academy open. It was in a split-decision fight that was too close to call."
From there he continued to train and won several other boxing tournaments including the 2001 wing open and western open. And he came in third place in the collegiate championship, which was all in his first year of boxing.
After graduating in 2002 Captain Ellison didn't lace up his gloves until arriving to Warren in 2005.
Then weighing almost 235 pounds, he used boxing to get back into shape after a knee injury. He trained hard, lost 60 pounds and started competing again.
Since then he hasn't looked back, winning the Air Force 178-pound title in 2006, 2007 and 2008. He trains about five days a week and he even fits in a workout when he is out in the field.
"I take a rope and my gloves out to the field with me," the missileer said. "They have a heavy bag at most of the missile alert facilities so I can still work out. That and the boxing team has grown so much that there could be a maintenance guy or a security forces troop that is out there to practice with some days."
Captain Ellison said juggling work and boxing is difficult but he has been blessed that his leadership gives him time off work to compete at the Air Force level.
With an amateur boxing record of 36-9, with seven fights being referee stops contest, Captain Ellison is a seasoned veteran but that doesn't mean he isn't still learning.
"In the past three years I have had eight losses," he said. "Every loss pushed me to work harder and I have watched the tapes of the fights to improve.
"I have looked hard at things I am weak at and done what I could to eliminate those weaknesses," he explained. "And I have analyzed the things that people used to beat me and understood why they did. I would say I have become a student of boxing."
A strong work ethic is important but having a good coach helps, and Captain Ellison said that he has had some of the best.
"As far as coaching, I have been blessed to be coached by some of the top coaches in amateur boxing," he said. "Ed Weichers, the head coach of the Air Force Academy, has been inducted to the Boxing Hall of Fame; Tomas Pacheco, Cheyenne Boxing Club head coach, has coached three National Champions; and Coach Ed Rivas, All-Air Force Boxing Team coach, has coached amateur to professional and has been asked to prepare guys for top ranked competitions.
"Every coach brings something new to the table," Captain Ellison said. "You just have to be willing to learn and take everything in. Boxing comes with experience."
Captain Ellison said it's his work ethic, great coaching and a never-say-die attitude that has gotten him to where he is today.
He has been the best boxer in the 178-pound category in the Air Force for the past three years and plans to keep it that way.

This past Saturday I was at Red Frog Coffee in Longmont, Colorado for the opening of Kelly Brozyna's (aka The Spunky Coconut) art show and book signing. I can't express how uplifting it was to visit with Kelly, her readers and fans, and other bloggers. The "icing on the cake" was being treated to one of Kelly's super-moist triple-layer chocolate cakes topped with the most healthful and decadent chocolate frosting I've ever had. The ingredients were simple, pure and wholesome. I hope Kelly doesn't mind me sharing!

Salobreña Things to Do

Salobreña Nightlife
Casa Roja: In search of el duende?
We were lucky enough to be in Salobrena for the Festival Flamenco 'Lucero del Alba' in August. The Gyspy Dancer, myself and the Small People made enquiries at the Casa de Culture in town and came out smiling with our tickets (8 euros for the two adults, small people free of charge).
Slightly out of town in the grounds of Casa Roja - We experienced some fine flamenco singing from 'Louis de Cordoba' with guitarist "Manuel Silveria" (Louis de Cordoba was amazing and totally enchanted me) and 'El Chocolate' (I think that was his name !) among others; the latter standing up and bellowing out an acapella heartfelt song across the hills and planes was something to experience.
The concert also featured a couple of dancers that were refreshingly nothing like the cabaret style flamenco featured in the uk - this dancer in particular was rather more Arabic in style. This is not cabaret flamenco, rather more serious (and yet relaxed at the same time ). If you're looking for something lighter and more jovial, I would suggest an evening out at one of the barbecue/show type venues- (I will write a further tip about the one just outside Almunecar soon) - They are great fun.
Very enjoyable.
Later on in the week, still part of the summer festival, there was also a free outdoor concert. Staged on a jutting out piece of rock right on the coast, in the nearby village of La Caleta. The sound of those vocal calls echoing across the hills with a backdrop of the illuminated castle at night, was magical.

Salobreña Transportation
Motril to Granada highway
Pick up the E902 (also called N323) highway to Motril to get to Salobrena from Granada and back. This takes you through the Lecrin valley (meaning the 'Vale of Happiness' in Arabic).
The route is rather scenic (for those not keeping both eyes on the road!) and you pass some rather surreal wind turbines and the (rather contravercial ) Rules dam ( pictured here). Apparently, the dam is filling up with much needed water, but they haven't organised a way of getting the water to the coastal towns yet !
You will pass many typical villages such as such as Padul, Durcal and Niguelas and a turning for the neo-hippy town of Orgiva. The journey to Niguelas takes 45 - 55 mins 'mas or menos'.Related to:

Salobreña Shopping
Charity shop: Charity shop
Quite by surprise we stumbled upon a church run charity shop half way up the hill towards the castle. This large building is interesting in its own right, painted ceilings, carved door-ways, an elegant staircase. I'm no expert and I didn't get to ask about the house so If any VT member has any information I'd be glad to know. It stocks all kinds of Brick a Brack, furniture, clothes, music & books, Plus are large selection of "antiques". I think it is open from 10am to 2 pm daily.
Salobreña Warnings and Dangers
The invasion of the jelly fish!
As some of you who spent some time on the Med last year may know, there was an invasion of jelly fish all over - Spain, France and Italy too from what we heard. Thousands of the horrible little things drifted to shallow water making it impossible to swim. Apparently, this happens around every 7 years (although I have heard that there has been an invasion in Mazzarron this year already). Cries of 'Medusa' could be heard from children from all directions and Spanish ladies were splodging large amounts of some sort of cream on any passing children who had been stung. (Not a serious sting, but I didn't fancy one!)
Being Spain, the whole thing became a spot of theatre, with high drama and much amusement as people were catching them in buckets, empty bottles and even on their flip-flops then burying them in the sand until the beach became like a jelly-fish graveyard.
Rather graceful in the water, they were absolutely disgusting looking out - Euwww !
After a couple of days, the local council got a trawler and 95% or so dissappeared -
**Aug 2006/7 - Alas, they were back this year. Click the link below to hear why *
Have sinse discovered, vinega is the thing for a sting. Many people spotted along the Med clutching bottles of cider vinega - strange, but true!Related to:

Salobreña What to Pack
Essential ...
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Sun cream (lots of), swim suit, a long gypsy skirt or two (essential) with a couple of small tops that'll do for day or dress up with some jewlery for evening, comfortable walking shoes for those cobbled streets (i find espedrills give me blisters on those cobbles), a shawl which will protect from the sun, take off the chill of air-conditioning and will also act as a sun shield when draped over a sun umbrella - and most important - a very large sunhat.Related to:

The highest-altitude sulphur spring in Germany, clear water and the purest mountain air: a holiday in Bad Hindelang is sheer delight for body and mind.
Bad Hindelang is situated in the south of the Allgäu region at an altitude of 850 to 1,200 metres. It is one of six villages which together form a district, the others being Bad Oberdorf, Oberjoch, Unterjoch, Vorderhindelang and Hinterstein. All of these holiday destinations share the same glorious, health-enhancing countryside and the same climate of clear water, natural majesty and pure air. No wonder the German Meteorological Service's bio-climate map shows a grade 1 air quality rating for this gem of a health resort. The air here has extremely low levels of pollen and mould spores and is free of dust mites. In addition to its exceptionally healthy climate, Bad Hindelang also has a reputation as a Kneipp hydrotherapy centre with a balanced and comprehensive portfolio covering everything from an alpine allergy station to a sleep laboratory. The existing range of Kneipp treatments has been continually developed and fine-tuned in keeping with Kneipp philosophy and as a natural complement to the climatic therapies available locally. One of the key reasons for Bad Hindelang's success as a health resort is its different climate zones. Because the six villages are all at different altitudes, visitors can gradually adjust to the stimulating highland climate.

POSTED: 6:30 a.m. HST, Feb 9, 2011
LAST UPDATED: 1:59 p.m. HST, Feb 9, 2011
A Kailua man who apparently didn't want to pay for parking at the University of Hawaii at Manoa was arrested for reckless endangering after he nearly hit two people, police said.
Diane Chang, a UH Manoa spokeswoman, said a parking supervisor put an immobilization boot on the wheel of a 23-year-old man's car Monday. But the suspect apparently drove off.
The supervisor noticed the car in front of her vehicle on Maile Way Tuesday at about 10:30 a.m. and radioed a parking guard to stop a Rainbow Shuttle, which was in front of the suspect's car.
The supervisor approached the man's car after he stopped and questioned him about what happened to the boot, Chang said. The suspect then allegedly drove onto the median, entered the oncoming lane of traffic on Maile Way and re-entered his original lane and drove away.
She said the suspect nearly hit a moped rider traveling in the opposite direction on Maile Way, the supervisor and the Rainbow Shuttle van.
Police were called and arrested the man at about 3:30 p.m. near the student services building at 2600 Campus Road during a check of the area.
He was released pending further investigation.
Chang said the man is not a student.

Olympians have increasingly turned to smartphones to capture photos and video of the festivities, and the handsets are often caught by television cameras covering the event. Samsung wants to ensure its brand is the only one seen, according to a report from Slashgear.
Samsung's plan was outed by members of the Swiss Olympic team, who noticed the guidelines inserted into the athletes' gift bags.
The Olympics provide an unparalleled advertising opportunity, with television coverage spanning the globe. Though figures for 2014 are unknown, it is thought that Samsung spent at least $100 million to sponsor the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
Under the headline "iPhone forbidden at Olympics opening ceremony," the image above is captioned, "If Beat Feuz had an iPhone and wanted to take photos of the Olympics opening ceremony, he'd have to cover the Apple logo."
Swiss website Watson.ch (in German, Google Translate) notes that Samsung is giving Winter Olympic Games athletes a free Galaxy Note 3, tied to the requirement that they must cover up the Apple logos on their iPhones when appearing on TV.
A parallel report by Bluewin.ch (in German, Google Translate) similarly noted that, as a requirement for gifts received, 'any athletes attending the opening ceremony and taking photos or videos with a competing product would need to cover up the Apple logo.'
Samsung's expensive promotions running into failure
Last year alone, Samsung spent $14 billion on marketing, a figure that investors have targeted as extravagantly excessive. But even as the company works to reduce its marketing expenses, Samsung is struggling with expensive sponsorships where celebrities have put their free Galaxy back in the box to use iPhones.
At the last Summer Olympics, Samsung signed an "exclusive agreement with David Beckham to be its global brand ambassador for the London 2012 Olympic Games," but Beckham was, embarrassingly for Samsung, just spotted using his iPhone 5s at the Super Bowl.
Samsung has regularly experienced difficulty in avoiding embarrassment after key sponsors continued using iOS devices, most notably via Twitter. In December, Samsung launched a "Galaxy 11" fantasy soccer team campaign that was intended to go viral, but instead went awry when star team manager Franz Beckenbauer tweeted out Samsung's prepared remarks from his iPhone.
In October, T-Mobile chief executive John Legere intended to use Twitter to direct attention to Samsung Mobile's latest Note 3 phablet and the company's Galaxy Gear watch accessory, but inadvertently did so via his iPhone 5s.
Last spring, Samsung's sponsored Spanish tennis star David Ferrer tweeted out ostensible satisfaction with his #GalaxyS4 and stated that he was "configuring S Health on my new #GalaxyS4 to help with training @SamsungMobile," albeit from his iPhone.

Khumalo Returns to PittsburghMarch 14, 2011 - USL (USL) - Pittsburgh Riverhounds Press Release
Boyzzz played for the Riverhounds in 2008 as an outside attacker and gained the interest of DC United's General Manager, Dave Kasper. Following the Riverhounds season, Boyzzz went on loan to DC and his performance landed him a contract to play for one of Major League Soccer's most respected Clubs for the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
The Riverhounds are excited to bring Boyzzz back to Pittsburgh for the inaugural USL PRO season. His exposure to the highest level of soccer in America will bring the experience and training mentality of a true professional to every training session.
"Boyzzz's experience, pace and creativity on the field will add a different dynamic to our philosophy," comments Head Coach Justin Evans. "His ability to attack one-on-one and get behind the defense should create problems for opposing defenders."

I really liked my dining room table but my kids have banged it up so much it looked terrible. We wanted to get a new one but I knew that we wouldn't get much out of this one, so instead of spending more money on a new one I decided to sand it down paint it and recover all 6 chairs. This really doesn't take very long if you can get motivated! This picture was taken a few years ago so it still looks really good.
And here is the finished product.
I am really happy with how it turned out. I thought that black would be hard to work with as far as decorating but it is actually easier.
Awesome job, Nicole! Thank you for showing it off!

Flat Island (known as Ile Plate in French) is the largest islet found in the northern waters of Mauritius (11km off the northern Mauritian coast). It is 253 hectares in size and geologically consists of a thin coralline soil over the basaltic lava flows. Being the largest of the northern islets, Flat Island has the greatest conservation potential in the long run and as such has been declared a Nature Reserve under the Forests and Reserves Act 1983. Conservation works have been undertaken by the National Park and Conservation Service (NPCS) and Mauritius Wildlife Foundation (surveys and elimination of rats, mice and feral cats, 1998, monitoring). No threatened or restricted-range bird species are present, but the site is included because of its high potential for rehabilitation and exotic mammal eradication (mice, rats and feral cats).
The island is a recreation point for the local people mainly for swimming, fishing, snorkelling and poaching seabirds. Tourists usually visit the reefs offshore with few venturing far on land. The islet is relatively flat, hence the name, with a coastal area of about 20m wide on the northern, western and eastern sides; the coastal areas have a very thin leaf litter overlying the compacted sand. The south western part of the islet however has a high ridge of 102m with an automated lighthouse at the top. Flat Island has one of the only two lighthouse stations in Mauritius, although it is now abandoned, as are the other buildings and tracks found there. They date back to when the island was used as an isolation area for cholera sufferers and an animal quarantine station.
The islet has a forest coverage of approximately 30 hectares of mixed non native trees reaching a canopy height of over 8m. All other coastal areas of Flat Island are characterised by a high percentage cover of black spear grass (Heteropogon contortus) and occasional guinea grass (Panicum maximum) which are tall, highly invasive grasses in addition to West Indian Latana (Lantana camara) bushes. This habitat type covers a large area in the north and the area of higher topography in the south west. The vegetation has been greatly modified but still contains a number of indigenous species including Latania palm (Latania loddigessi), Vacoas (Pandamus vandermeerschii), Veloutier (Scaevola taccada), Bois Matelot (Suriana maritima) and Sainte Marie (Thespesia populnea), a coastal hibiscus.
Animals are not distributed on the whole island but rather cover about 1/3 of the island in different areas concentrated mostly in the south western part near the ridge. Birds living on the islet include the Wedged tail shearwater (Puffinus pacificus) and the Red tailed (Phaeton rubricauda) and White tailed tropic (P.lupturus).
North of Flat Island is Pigeon Rock, a spectacular bare rock stack used by resting and perhaps occasionally nesting seabirds. Exploring the islet is next to impossible without climbing gear which results in limited data about its flora and fauna.

Pigeon Held in India on Suspicion of Spying
NEW DELHI — Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rivals and neighbours Pakistan, media reported on Friday. The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India's Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the capital Amritsar. The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink. Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency that they suspected the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a note has been found. Officials have directed that no-one should be allowed to visit the pigeon, which police say may have been on a "special mission of spying". The bird has been medically examined and was being kept in an air-conditioned room under police guard.
The Legendary Athens Greece Riot Dog
Illustration Giant Frank Frazetta (1928–2010)
A giant of 20th Century illustration has sadly passed. The Beat has more about the artist:
… Read the rest
Frank Frazetta was born February 9, 1928. His early artistic career consisted of years of exquisitely drawn comics work, including contributions to the EC line of comics, assisting Al Capp on L'il Abner and later drawing several years of the strip, and working with Harvey Kurtzman on Little Annie Fanny.
In the '60s Frazetta turned to cover paintings for the thriving pulp paperback industry and created one of the most recognizable illustration styles of all times.
His covers for Conan, Tarzan and other rough hewn heroes created a visceral, violent, erotic yet somehow still nuanced visual style that has been endlessly imitated but never surpassed — Frazetta's imagery of brawny, relentless swordsmen, seductive, fleshy sirens and hellfire breathing monsters had a gut level impact because it came from the gut — his many followers were just tracing without the passion of the originals.

24 Hours Inside Walmart
Stephen Wilkes took a photo every 10 seconds of the day for a time-lapse video inside Walmart for Fortune magazine. All in all, 8,640 frames were taken (1,800 that are actually used) and the entire 24 hours is compressed into two minutes. The shoot took place on April 6, 2010 in New Brunswick, New Jersey from 9:14 am [sic] to 9:14pm. Says Photo Editor Lauren Winfield, "The inspiration was to show that Walmart never sleeps… open 24 hours with no real daylight, you have no sense of what time of day it is. We wanted to see what the traffic flow of people coming in and out of the store looks like as a day in the life."

I definitely don't share you thoughts of grabbing all these books and find my own way to J2EE. Of course, one should have an understanding from all, but not in any detail. And here is where a good book like HFOOAD steps in and glues it all together. I want to learn the best practices on how to glue it all together. I don't want to learn on how NOT doing things. ... HFOOAD is exactly the place where it belongs, because it's here, right between OOA and OOD, where you must make your decision for the technology. Ignoring this step and leaving people wandering in uncertainty is one reason why lot of teams are in trouble and projects become unsuccessful . Regards, Darya

Technical difficulties keep noise down for awhile; Beaubois returns
Briefly … There were some technical difficulties at AAC on Wednesday, which silenced the public-address system temporarily before the game. The gremlins apparently were chased away. Some amps blew in the pregame and it took awhile for the systems to reboot, but the noise slowly returned.
Luis Scola had a great analysis of the Rockets treating this like a playoff game. "It's sort of like the playoffs," he said, except that "if you lose four games in a row in the playoffs, you're out." The Rockets brought a four-game losing streak into Wednesday's game.
Roddy Beaubois was back in action after two games out with a right calf strain. Asked about Beaubois missing time, Carlisle said: "Just look at [Jason] Kidd's [45] minutes last game. With West in foul trouble both halves, if he could have given us 12 minutes, it would have made a huge difference."

Judge halts contraceptive mandate for Domino's founder
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 12/31/2012 @ 4:03 pm In Faith,Front Page,Health,U.S. | No Comments
(AP) A federal judge has ruled a property management company owned by the founder of Domino's Pizza doesn't have to immediately implement mandatory contraception coverage in the health care law.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence Zatkoff ruled Sunday in favor of Tom Monaghan and his Domino's Farms Corp., near Ann Arbor. Monaghan, a devout Roman Catholic, says contraception isn't health care but a "gravely immoral" practice.
Zatkoff granted Monaghan's emergency motion for a temporary restraining order until a final decision is made in the case. The mandate would have taken effect Tuesday.

City Power workers 'on go-slow'Comment on this story
Johannesburg - City Power employees are believed to be on a go-slow strike – but the municipal entity has denied this.
In the past two weeks, several northern and western suburbs have experienced a spate of power cuts, and residents and ward councillors said these were not being attended to quickly. They said employees they had spoken to had confirmed they were on a go-slow.
Councillor Amanda Forsythe of the Melville area said there appeared to be a "silent boycott" by City Power employees.
She had experienced outages in Melville, Victory Park, Greenside and Emmarentia. "The number is very unusual, and even if it was normal outages, it is now taking between 24 and 48 hours to do repairs, whereas before this, it took a few hours."
One Melville resident had been without electricity since Friday afternoon.
Forsythe also questioned why several reported outages were marked as "resolved" on the system when they were not.
"No one is giving us feedback any more. I, and other councillors, have taken this directly to senior officials, and they, too, have stopped responding to us."
Councillors noticed that at the weekend, residents were unable to log any complaints on the City Power website. When they complained, they were told that it was because of routine maintenance on the website.
The City of Joburg call centre phones were also not answered at the weekend, said Forsythe.
Councillor Tim Truluck of the Parkhurst area also said he had never experienced as many cuts as in the past two weeks, since City Power staff threatened to strike over claims of irregularities around the tender process for smart meters.
City Power denied that employees were on a go-slow.
Spokesman Sol Masolo said a probe was launched of the allegations made in the Mail & Guardian. "Our employees requested a meeting after the story broke, and demanded the managing director's suspension, which was refused. We have an independent firm conducting the investigation. There are processes to follow and we are doing so."

There are some days in which I deeply regret waking up and opening the laptop. I want to rewind my day completely: unbrew the coffee, uncook the oatmeal, unpack the lunches, unkiss the children goodbye.
Today is one of those days.
Photo credit: Patrick Smith/Getty Images
This happened last night. I'm in shock. I'm nauseated. I'm so tense I can barely pry my jaw open for said coffee and oatmeal.
It is honestly killing me that thousands of people would take to the streets to support a man accused of covering up the sexual assault of children.
These people are mostly college students, the types who are gravely affected by the issues that sparked Occupy Wall Street. But are they protesting the fact that the hyperinflation of college fees and predatory lending policies mean that their average student loan debt will be well over $20K per person? No. They are protesting the firing of an 84-year-old man who allegedly conspired to hush up the actions of a serial pedophile. What the hell is wrong with them?
Add the menacing warning of Herman Cain's lawyer to those who accuse the powerful of sexual assault and harassment ("THINK TWICE") and you have a headache that just won't quit and a strong desire to crawl back into bed, wishing that this day never happened.

Vandergrift, Ion seismic testing officials to meet about requests to residents
Vandergrift officials are hoping to resolve its dispute with Ion GX Technology Inc.Borough council recently turned down a request by Ion to test for underground natural gas shale formations in Vandergrift, citing a possible disturbance to infrastructure such as the sewer system.
Ion is a seismic testing company with a specialty of determining where natural gas deposits might lie by "thumping" the surface. Vandergrift is part of a 281 square mile testing area, based mostly in neighboring Armstrong County.
A letter from Ion recently went out to individual Vandergrift property owners, hoping for individual permission to try to determine shale deposits. That letter raised the ire of borough officials because of their denial of permission to Ion for the testing, which would involve the use of buried explosive charges.Borough Solicitor Larry Loperfito will meet with Ion officials this month and report back to council on Feb. 4.In July, Manor Township turned down a similar request from Ion.

Bove said the work, being done by R.A. Monzo Construction, has slowed recently because of inclement weather. Construction officials might ask for an extension of the project, set to finish this summer, if weather continues to hamper progress.
Meanwhile, Bove said an income survey will be done with residents of Irvine Street between Emerson and Lowell avenues as part of the federal Community Development Block Grant application program.
Irvine is part of Phase II of the project.Bove said Phase II will include French drains to help conserve soil and permeable concrete for sidewalks to help with drainage.
About 100 trees will be planted as part of Phase II.

|Impairment in orthostatic tolerance during heat exposure in individuals with Type I and Type II diabetes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15795694 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Diabetes is often associated with orthostatic hypotension and temperature intolerance. Studies have examined either one stress or the other and not both to see if the stresses are additive. MATERIAL/METHODS: Eight subjects with Type 1 and 12 subjects with Type 2 diabetes and 15 controls were tested for orthostatic intolerance during a vertical tilt in a thermally neutral environment (22 degrees C) and a warm room (42 degrees C). Blood pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, heart rate, skin blood flow and skin and body temperature were recorded. RESULTS: All subjects experienced reductions in their cardiac output and blood pressure when tilted. In the warmer environment, significant impairments in the compensatory blood pressure response and redistribution of cardiac output were found in subjects with diabetes. When tilted to the vertical posture, subjects with diabetes experienced reductions of about 10 mmHg in systolic blood pressure in the cool environment, and a reduction of 21 mmHg when tilted in the warm environment. The fall in the systolic pressure in the subjects with diabetes was accompanied by corresponding reductions in stroke volume and cardiac output (from 5.06 L/min to 4.75 L/min) but no change in the heart rate. To compensate for a vertical tilt, skin blood flow was reduced by about half in the controls but there was only a small vasoconstriction in the subjects with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, while showing some loss in orthostatic tolerance in a cool environment, showed significant clinical impairment associated with heat exposure.
