Works for me, on Galaxy S w/ Opera Mobile. But it's not the usual Android input field, since I can move around the page without the keyboard closing. However, if I tap anywhere where there is no text (even into the white space) the keyboard rapidly opens then closes.
Also, it didn't work for me at first, give it some time maybe...

Agyness Deyn enjoys getting older. She is English fashion model, actress and singer and her opinion is that she just feels sexier as with age. She first worked at a fish and chip shop and now the thirty one year old, who did secretly marry thirty nine year old 'Dads' star Giovanni Ribisi in 2012 also says that as she ages she feels more feminine. She told the Los Angeles Times newspaper:
"Even though I've dressed so boyish and androgynous for a lot of my life, I feel like now that I've hit my thirties and had to grow my hair out for a movie [role], I've started to feel more feminine and sexy."
She also say since she marries she has done allot of "growing up" and she is in the works of launching her new fashion line, Title A, next month, took a break from modeling when she decided to do some acting with roles in 'Pusher' and 'Clash of the Titans'.
She previously said:
"I suppose I have stopped modeling officially. I've not done any for a good long while now. I think it was about four years ago when my feeling were changing towards the industry.
"I didn't hate it, but I was yearning to do something different. I was on a gradient. I was something different."

WESTFIELD, Ind. — The Center for Advanced Product Evaluation (CAPE) has been named 2011 Crash Test Facility of the Year by Automotive Testing Technology International magazine. CAPE is an independent crash and structural test facility, and it is a division of IMMI, which designs and manufactures safety systems. Officials said the center was selected for its development of safety systems for commercial vehicles, its continued investment in supporting testing equipment and its role in helping IMMI bring its RollTek rollover accident injury mitigation system to North American fire apparatus OEMs."We selected CAPE as the Crash Test Facility of the Year because of its deep commitment to advancements in vehicle safety," said Adam Gavine, editor of Automotive Testing Technology International. "A $3.5 million expansion project, a consolidation of all test services into one dedicated 49,000-square foot facility and an investment in a new Seattle Safety acceleration sled all convinced the panel of CAPE's impressive ability to develop occupant protection equipment for industries ranging from commercial vehicles to motorsports."The annual testing awards recognize the achievements of companies and individuals who have improved the reliability, quality and usability of vehicles through automotive testing and development. A panel of judges — consisting of seven senior figures with extensive experience within the automotive testing industry — selects the winners in seven award categories, including CAE Innovation of the Year, Hardware Innovation of the Year, Crash Test Facility of the Year, Engine Test Facility of the Year, Proving Ground of the Year, Person of the Year and Company of the Year.For more information on CAPE, visit www.capetesting.com.

Washington is engaged in a serious discussion about America's future - debating fundamental questions about our priorities.
The goals we set today will shape our future and meeting milestones along the way will ensure that we reach our destination. Our deliberations with respect to NASA and America's future role in space are no less important.
While budget allocations are important to our space program, without a resolute vision for our human spaceflight program, our program will flounder and ultimately perish. As the shuttle program winds down, our human spaceflight program lacks a ...

Europeans furious over allegations of U.S. spying on EU
BERLIN — European leaders reacted with fury on Sunday to allegations in a German magazine that the United States had conducted a wide-ranging effort to monitor European Union diplomatic offices and computer networks, with some saying they expected such surveillance from enemies, not their closest economic partner.
It was the latest fallout from National Security Agency information apparently leaked by Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor whose detailing of classified information on the agency's programs has shone a rare light on U.S. surveillance efforts that range far wider than previously understood.
Underscoring the depth of the European anger over the allegations, top officials from several European countries said the reports of spying would figure into the future of transatlantic trade talks that began in June. The efforts would form the world's largest free-trade zone, and European officials said on Sunday that they suspect the target of U.S. intelligence interest was economic information, not military.
"Partners do not spy on each other," said European Commissioner for Justice Viviane Reding during a public event in Luxembourg. "We cannot negotiate over a big transAtlantic market if there is the slightest doubt that our partners are carrying out spying activities on the offices of our negotiators."
Other European leaders said they felt blindsided by the allegations.
"It is shocking that the United States would take measures against their most important, their nearest allies, comparable to measures taken in the past by the KGB, by the secret service of the Soviet Union," European Parliament President Martin Schulz said in Brussels.
"This is not the basis to build mutual trust. This is a contribution to build mutual mistrust," he said, adding that he felt treated like an "enemy."
Germany's Der Spiegel news magazine reported last weekend that the NSA had placed listening devices in EU diplomatic offices in Washington and New York, had breached an EU computer network that provided access to internal emails and documents, and had accessed phone lines in EU headquarters in Brussels in order to monitor top officials' phone conversations. The magazine said that it had seen portions of 2010 documents from Snowden, although it did not publish them on its website, nor did it quote from them directly.
Britain's Guardian newspaper published additional information, including portions of an internal NSA presentation that appear to detail several methods by which U.S. intelligence agencies monitored diplomats inside the United States. The "Dropmire" program apparently monitored communications on an encrypted fax machine used by the EU delegation in Washington to communicate with counterparts in Europe.
The Guardian reported that another document lists 38 embassies and missions that intelligence agencies were monitoring in some way, including the embassies of allies France, Italy, Japan, India and South Korea, and others, including more traditional antagonists and Middle Eastern countries.
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said she had asked for further information from U.S. officials in Washington and Brussels.
A spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the government would respond through diplomatic channels.
"While we are not going to comment publicly on specific alleged intelligence activities, as a matter of policy we have made clear that the United States gathers foreign intelligence of the type gathered by all nations," the spokesman said in a statement.
Der Spiegel on Sunday separately reported that the NSA monitored 500 million emails, phone calls and text messages in Germany every month, more than any European peer. Germany's Federal Prosecutor's Office said it would open an inquiry to determine whether charges should be filed.

flickpress is a WordPress plugin that adds a multi-user popup tool to the WordPress toolbar for browsing and inserting Flickr photos into posts.
Search or browse recent Flickr photos, tags, favorites, and photosets for multiple users – then insert various sizes of photos into your posts. In addition to searching and browsing photos for known users, flickpress also supports searching for Creative Commons, government, and Flickr Commons photos. Photo captions are included by default, but may be disabled. It is up to you to determine whether your use of a photo is allowed or requires attribution – please honor photo publishers' licenses.
You must have your own Flickr API key and enter it at Settings -> flickpress for the plugin to work.
flickpress should work with the most recent release of WordPress. If you are testing the development version of WordPress and find flickpress does not work, please let me know. If you are using an old version of WordPress, please upgrade!
There is a widget and old school template function for adding a user's recent photos to your sidebar – see the readme for details.
Using the template function
You should really use the widget, but if your theme doesn't have a widget area in the right spot (the footer in Jean-Marc's case) you probably want to use the template function. When using a plugin function in your theme it's a good idea to check for it first like this:
if (function_exists('flickpress_photos'))
flickpress_photos('email','number of photos','before','after','class');
If you want a bunch of thumbnails displayed horizontally in your footer, you'd probably want to leave the before and after fields empty. Here's what worked for me to display 5 recent photos in a row, giving them each the "flickrphotos" class for custom styling:
if (function_exists('flickpress_photos'))
I've gotten a report that flickpress does not work with WPMU. When I tried it in a testing environment (using subdirectories – I was unable to get subdomains working) it seemed to work fine, both with MU 220.127.116.11 and with WP 3.0-alpha with the MU stuff turned on. If you try flickpress with MU please let me know if it works or not and especially any errors you see.
Get flickpress
You can get the latest version of flickpress from the WordPress Plugins Directory.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Florida investigators said Tuesday they still have not found John Mark Slappey, 34, of Albany, who was washed away while duck hunting along Lake Seminole Sunday afternoon.
Cadaver dogs were used Tuesday afternoon to aid searchers in their efforts to locate Slappey along the Apalachicola River, said Stan Kirkland, regional spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
"The Houston County Search and Rescue Team are down here with dogs that are trained to pick up the scent of shedding human skin cells," he said Tuesday. "They (Houston County) called early yesterday morning to offer their services."
Kirkland said assistance from the Dothan, Ala.-based team will greatly aid search efforts.
"It's one more tool you can use at a time like this," he said.
FWC officials said law enforcement agencies worked tirelessly Tuesday searching the 3-mile stretch along the upper Apalachicola River.
"The Chattahoochee landing is not open to the public at this time," said Kirkland. "Law enforcement agencies have been using the landing as main point to regroup and organize."
A number of agencies, search-and-rescue personnel and volunteers has participated in the search for Slappey. They include the FWC, Chattahoochee Police Department, Jackson County Sheriff's Office, Wewahitchka Search and Rescue, and Bay County Search and Rescue.
Searchers have combed the area around Lake Seminole and the Apalachicola River for any sign of the Albany native.
"We have recovered some personal items we knew were on him (Slappey)," said Kirkland.
A duck decoy and plastic waders are among the few items that have been found amid the swollen waters.
FWC officials said Tuesday they are confident they will find the body of Slappey.
"It's going to take some time," said Kirkland. "They (searchers) will find his body."
He said that while the swollen waters of Lake Seminole and the strong current through the Apalachicola River may make the search harder, conditions could be worse.
"The water is high, but I've seen it a lot worse than this," Kirkland said.
Witnesses have said Slappey was duck hunting with his half-brother, Andrew Dismuke, 25, around noon Sunday when Slappey was pulled under the Jim Woodruff Dam and disappeared beneath the waters of the Apalachicola River.
His body was not immediately recovered Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.
Family members of Slappey's have announced that a celebration of life will be held in the avid hunter's honor on Saturday at First United Methodist Church in Albany at 1 p.m.

Sustaining Ernst & Youngs Ethical Culture
By Anne Federwisch
In her talk, she described EYs four-year process developing their
Americas ethics program, highlighting both the trials and successes in
defining policies to cover over 35,000 employees in North, Central and
South America, Mexico, Israel, and Canada. Key to the programs success,
Sweet said, was encouraging dialogue, buy-in, and commitment from all
the stakeholders throughout the process.
One of the major hurdles she faced as one of the chief architects of the ethics program, was winning over executive board members who felt a formal program was superfluous because Ernst & Young was already an ethical company. True, they had an ethical company as a whole, she countered, but what they needed was something more overt and proactive, a consistent way to educate all employees about EYs values and ethical expectations, as well as clear and consistent procedures for reporting and rectifying ethical lapses.
In discussions with the Executive Board, one of the things that we definitely acknowledged is that ethics really isnt black and white. Thats really the core of the issue. Most of the ethical dilemmas that you face day-to-day are very gray, she said. We really needed to set the stage for an environment where you can discuss what really is the best possible solution for an ethical dilemma.
By discussing with the Board common situations in which ethical dilemmas might arise, they were able to underscore the need for the project and foster buy-in. Examples included providing non-audit services for audit clients, representing clients whose ethical standards might not be in sync with EY, eating time in order to be within budget and allocated hours, shopping in employee-only discount stores at a client site.
Step two: develop global values
Although the firm already had a global values statement, it had been developed by a small regional group. Instead, they wanted values developed using input from all the global areas. That process took a year and a half.
We spoke to internal folks, we spoke to clients, we spoke to other stakeholders, we gathered focus groups, Sweet explained. We really felt strongly that we needed to make sure that this was something that everyone could agree to because we really felt it was the foundation, the underpinnings of everything that we were trying to do.
The process proved to be challenging, since many words have different connotations in other countries. But finally, she said, they were able to agree on the following to describe who they are as a company and what they stand for:
A lot of discussion arose about what constituted doing the right thing. But the overall consensus was that the phrase should be part of the values because it would be a goal to strive for and would foster discussions about what it meant in different situations. The right thing is not decided in a vacuum, she said.
Step three: develop Americas and global codes of conduct
Although Sweet and her team looked at examples of codes of conduct from about a hundred other organizations before developing their own formal code, they wanted to make sure that the guiding principles would be based on EYs vision, mission, strategy, and values.
So they continuously sought input from EY employees as the code took shape. First, they wanted to make sure that the code remained principle-based and not rule-based. Our industry has plenty of rules. We really wanted our code of conduct to be values-based, she elaborated.
Second, they wanted to make sure that the code was more than just a piece of paper. They wanted to make sure that the code was built into the infrastructure of the company by developing it amidst an atmosphere that promoted open dialogue and debate. It wasnt just about putting together a code of conduct, a paper, a brochure, she said. It was about what happens beyond that. What is it that we need to do to make sure that this becomes embedded in our culture?
Step four: develop an Ethics Oversight Board
Although prior to this process different people within the company oversaw ethical issues, EY wanted to formally develop a dedicated Ethics Oversight Board.
Working in conjunction with the Office of Ethics and Compliance, the newly created Oversight Board is comprised of senior firm leaders representing key functions of the firm, plus members elected by the firms partners and principals. Their primary roles are to monitor the practices and principles that guide the way the company does business, as well as to respond to emerging trends in the business environment.
But shaping their role is an on-going process, Sweet said. Were still working through the exact charter and how they can become more proactive.
Step five: design and implement the organizational change plan
The goal in moving beyond the code of conduct was to shift from mere awareness through understanding and on to actively living out the code in every business decision.
To that end, EY employed a four-pronged strategy:
They brought in an outside facilitator to work with the Executive Board and the Ethics Oversight Board to discuss their understanding of the values and code of conduct, as well as how to be proactive in identifying potential ethical problems and how to close the gap between the code and business practices.
Throughout the company, they used team-based and Web-based learning materials, including meetings in a box, Web-based case studies, online updates, and FAQs.
On-going process
Sweet stressed the importance of persistence and patience in rolling out an ethics program for a company the size of EY. Often she felt like she was taking two steps forward and one step back.
To continue to succeed, she said, the company needs to engage in real-life storytelling, sharing stories of ethical and non-ethical behavior, tales of things that actually happened and how they were resolved.
Currently they are in the process of publicizing and encouraging use of their ethics Web site and Web-based hotline system with two campaigns: You make the call, and Weve got your back.
Sweet said, Were really encouraging people to speak out and do what they need to do to continuously uphold the ethics of Ernst & Young.

When you get to down size clothes, notice a change in muscle tone, you can go just a little further and harder when exericseing it is well worth it. You can smile and say I am doing it.
What has been helping me with losing weight is to be able to visualise how much I've lost (and need to go)... To do this I visualise it in terms of cans of coke (or any canned drink)...Most are 330ml which equates to 330g (in the UK anyway), so it's 3 cans per kg - or if you're using lbs, it's 1lb = 1 and a third cans cans...So when you 'only' lose just under 1lb in a week, it's quite a lot, when you actually pick up a can. 2lb is 2.5 cans, etc, etc.Happy canning!
I've been keeping a grocery sack in the pantry, & gradually adding items for the Food Bank. When it's full, I'll drive it over & dontate. Using the ice cream, candy, chips, extra portions, and treat money I would have been spending on myself is pretty painless to share. When shopping, I grab something healthy for the bag, like canned tuna, soups, canned beans, etc. It puts a smile on my face, and hopefully on someone else's, while shrinking the waistline.
we collect cans! so on daz when we dont do w/o's, i grab my perdometer, a grabber & i walk , pick up cans. i can steps, & collecting cans cleans up the enviorment, & i get a little money.. did u know 10 bags of crushed cans pays approx 15.00? thats a new gym outfit 4 me. 334

Central Venous Pressure
Central venous pressure is defined as the pressure of blood in the central venous system which is essentially just prior to entry into the right atrium.
This is the point where the superior vena cava meets the inferior vena cava prior to entry into the right atrium of the heart. It is usually measured by placing a catheter in one of the veins and then threading it to this point. This procedure is usually done under aseptic techniques in a ward, operating theatre, or the intensive care unit of a well equipped and staffed hospital. A qualified medical practitioner is authorised to perform this procedure.
In normal health the amount of blood coming to the heart is balanced precisely by the amount of blood leaving the heart. The cardiovascular system will be viewed as a closed system for the purposed of this discussion. When there is blood loss or other alteration in the cardiovascular system's homeostatic mechanism it will first be reflected in changes of the venous pressure at this point. As a rule of thumb the central venous pressure is a good indicator of the amount of blood returning to the heart from the systemic circulation. Further, it (CVP) is a good indicator of the pumping ability of the right atrium and the right ventricle. When the right atrium or ventricle is failing (e.g. following right atrial or ventricular MI) the CVP will be one of the first indicators to rise. The rising CVP indicates that the atria and/or ventricle are failing.
Diagram 1. Major blood vessels of the Heart showing blood flow.
Fluid Challenge:
Diagnoses of right ventricular failure and/or hypo volaemia are difficult without the use of invasive procedures. Sometimes, indirect means are used to evaluate hypo volaemia. The patient may be given a fluid challenge of 250 to 500 ml. This will cause the CVP to rise. CVP rise which is not sustained for more than 10 minutes suggests hypo volaemia. Serial readings are of greater use clinically because they more accurately predict the trend than single readings.
Normal CVP values.
In homeostasis CVP is from 0 to 8 cm of water. The Hospital where I work normally accepts 5 to 10 cm of water as normal. CVP is usually measured in cm of water but in some institutions it is measured in mm of mercury; when using the mercury scale 2 to 6 mm of mercury is considered normal.
Conditions which cause the CVP to rise.
Several conditions can cause the CVP to rise. Some situations which cause the CVP to rise are as follows:

question for Homeowners,
Once. We fell in love instantly. We were so happy about the size of the rooms and the size of the living room. I completely loved the pantry too lol. Where we were living didn't have a pantry, it had a few cabinets and that's it. I hated it.
Twice: once with our sons and once just my husband and I, before we made our offer.
Once, I had to catch a plane back home the next morning but I knew the moment I saw it, it was the perfect house for us.

Despite expressions of concern about the "brutal attack " on Israel's ambassador to the UK, Shlomo Argov, Margaret Thatcher's government in 1982 had very little time for Israel and its invasion of southern Lebanon.
Major General Wissam al-Hassan was a marked man years before he was assassinated by a massive car bomb in Beirut last Friday.
In Lebanon, military and security services are split by allegiances to different parties and ethnic groups. Al-Hassan's loyalties were to the anti-Syrian March 14 coalition and the Hariri clan.
When the producers of Homeland chose to return to the country where the series originated, Israeli fans were delighted, with former Hamas prisoner Gilad Shalit even making a visit to the set.
But the decision to use Israeli locations – including Jaffa and Tel Aviv – as stand - ins for areas in the Lebanese city of Beirut, has apparently angered Arab viewers.
Saeed Jalili, the mild-mannered secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council and special adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, undertook a whirlwind visit of Syria and Lebanon two weeks ago.
A senior figure in the Israeli army has warned that Syria is home to "the world's largest arsenal of chemical weapons".
Speaking at a ceremony to mark three decades since the battle of Sultan Yacoub between Israeli and Syrian troops during the first Lebanon war, Maj Gen Yair Naveh cautioned that little had changed in the intervening period.
A lone with two small sons in Ramat Gan, after my husband was called up in the Lebanon war in 1982, I had never felt more isolated. The invasion, officially named Operation Peace for Galilee, had been triggered by the assassination attempt in London on the Israeli ambassador, Shlomo Argov.
Israeli security forces are on high alert today in anticipation of the Global March to Jerusalem.
The demonstration, organised by a coalition of anti-Israel groups from around the world, is expected to attract thousands of protesters.
There are a number of security concerns about the event, which will take place as Jews prepare for Shabbat and Muslims mark Friday prayers.
A senior spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described the Lebanese media as "pathetic" following controversy over an interview on the country's MTV channel.
A number of Lebanese bloggers picked up on Ofir Gendelman's post on Twitter earlier this week, in which he said he had "granted an interview to Lebanon's MTV".
The firing of two Katyusha rockets from Lebanon into Israel this week served as a reminder that the growing Syrian civil war could boil over into neighbouring countries.
The rockets, which landed in a village in the Western Galilee on Monday night, did not cause any casualties and succeeded only in setting light to a gas storage unit.
Over five years since the end of the Second Lebanon War,
The launch of two Katyusha rockets across the Lebanese border at an Israeli village in the Western Galilee in the night between Monday and Tuesday did not cause any casualties and succeeded only in setting light to a gas storage unit, but it served as a reminder that the growing Syrian civil war could boil over into neighbouring Lebanon and Israel.

Premium EA game to showcase Android 4.1 capabilities
updated 07:30 pm EDT, Wed June 27, 2012
Strike Force built in HTML5, may be showcased on Nexus 7
Electronic Arts has been showing off a sophisticated, multiplayer video game built entirely in HTML5, allowing users across multiple platforms to play against each other. The game is called Strike Force, and EA says it was developed over the course of five months, using a number of college interns. As The New York Times's blog reports, EA will demonstrate the game at Google I/O, Google's annual software developer conference, leading some to believe the game is intended to show off the gaming potential of Google's new Android 4.1 operating system.
Screens for the game show off three-dimensional graphics of a quality typically seen on mobile handhelds such as Nintendo's 3DS. Much of the in-game processing work is handled by EA's servers, allowing for PC users to play against tablet or phone gamers with reportedly little latency.
Currently, the game only works on Google's Chrome browser, though its HTML5 underpinnings should allow it to run across any number of devices and browsers. The current Chrome exclusivity, though, makes it an exemplar model of the gaming prowess said to be found in Android 4.1. While the game may not be released for another year, Google reportedly hopes that the ease of development for Strike Force will persuade programmers to make games for the new operating system. The thought is that attractive and cheaply developed games could prove to be a prime selling point for tablets running Android 4.1, including Google's newly-revealed Nexus 7 tablet.
Should Google prove able to sway game developers and attract customers to Android-powered tablets, that could represent a significant shift in the mobile gaming sector. Currently, simpler games like Angry Birds dominate the field, as more expansive titles require larger development teams and can only be developed for one mobile platform at a time. [via Bits]

Foster care is the act of taking in a child or
a youth and providing care for that child or youth. When children in our
community are in danger, foster families stand up and offer a place of safety until parents are ready to care for their children
again. Foster families also stand up to
provide care for teenagers who have been abused or find themselves having
troubles in their daily lives or with the Juvenile Justice System.
In Denver, there are
approximately 1,600 children currently in foster home placements. There is
always a need for families who will provide foster care. Denver Human Services
strives to place children in foster families in their own neighborhoods
so that the child maintains consistency in their school and relationships during
difficult times. Keeping youth in their communities has been found to shorten
the amount of time spent in foster care by helping the youth to maintain
permanent relationships with family and other support systems.
- General Foster Care is
when a member of the community chooses to provide care for a child but usually
does not know the child. In addition to providing food, shelter, loving
attention and emotional support a foster parent may do any one of the
- Take a child or
youth to the doctor or dentist. These expenses are paid for
through Medicaid.
- Take a child or youth to
therapy. These costs are paid for by the Department of Human Services or
services are provided through community agencies. Sometimes, therapeutic
providers can come to your home to provide the service to the child or
- Take a youth or
child to visit family. Visits are usually held in the community
or; when necessary, at the Department of Human Services.
- Attend meetings at the
child's school. Continuity in school has been found to be the greatest
factor in a child being successful while in foster care. The foster parent's
presence at Parent-Teacher Conferences, Special Education meetings and other
important functions helps stabilize the child while in placement.
- Keep track of developmental progress in the home. Foster Parents come to know the child best and inform the social worker of how the child or youth is doing.
- Works with a social worker assigned to the child's case. The foster parent is a respected part of a team of people working together to support the family with the goal of reuniting the children with their parents. The relationship between the foster parent, social worker and child is the most critical in determining the success of the child in placement
- Works with the child or youth's Support team
The members of the child's support team meet monthly for a staffing to review the child's progress. The foster parent's attendance is vital and sometimes, these meetings can be held at the foster home. The foster parents can also participate in a staffing by phone.
Why Become A Denver Foster Parent?
- Denver has a need for over 1000 foster homes at
any one time.
- Children removed from the home do better when
they stay in the community and stay at their home schools.
- Foster parents help children and youth through
difficult times in their families.
- Foster parents can help children and youth
regain trust and hope.
- Foster parents strengthen our community through
their interactions with families and children.
- Being a foster parent supports one's need to
give and help others in the greatest need.
The simple act of providing shelter,food, a stable life and loving support
helps a child or youth tremendously. You might even help a child or youth regain
trust and hope. That's definitely something to stand up


text: In the great tradition of its middle column stories, this morning's Wall Street Journal features a hilarious tale out of the Pentagon involving the purported portrait of Ensign Chuck Hord, "Lost at Sea 1908." Until recently the framed picture of the dashing young Annapolis grad was hanging in the C ring of the Department of Defense. Except Ensign Hord wasn't lost at sea in 1908. In fact, the man, actually known as Tuck Hord ("Chuck" was a typo introduced by the engraver), is a retired captain currently living in Virginia. His portrait was a sort of gag gift that found its way into parties and offices until landing in the C ring, all with the help of his fellow officers, including British and Canadian liaisons. Definitely worth reading in its entirety.

"In the first year of the Free Trade Agreement's implementation, New Zealand's exports to China increased by almost 60 percent", Mr Williamson says.
"China is now our second largest trading partner and for the growth in our exports to continue Customs processes at the border need to be as efficient as possible," he says.
The Ministers noted their desire to treat the Free Trade Agreement as a living agreement, and encouraged the two Customs administrations to continue to work together to improve the efficiency and security of trade between our countries.
During his visit, Mr Williamson will also visit China Customs' detector dog training centre in Beijing, visit the New Zealand pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo, speak to students at a Customs College in Shanghai and speak with New Zealand businesses trading with China.

Braun Thrilled to be Player of the Week
Superstars just aren't the same without the proper nickname, and Chivas USA's Justin Braun needs some help.
Before Tuesday, July 13th, it had been nearly two and a half years since the last time a player from Chivas USA was named MLS Player of the Week.
And then Justin Braun came along.
Braun was named MLS Player of the Week this week after impressive two-goal performances against both Kansas City and Houston. The award is his first personal recognition since becoming a pro.
"I'm really excited about it," said Braun in an interview with MLSsoccer.com. "I've worked really hard and it's nice to be recognized. The [Chivas USA] Head Coach brought me up in front of the guys at practice and told everyone. It was a great feeling."
Braun has become a pivotal part of Chivas USA's offense this season, making 14 appearances and leading the team with six goals. Most recently, he notched two against the Wizards to lead the Red-and-White to their first MLS victory since May 5th.
"The team has been really supportive of me," said Braun. "It's great to get this award, but I'm still really focused on helping Chivas get back on track and trying to make it into the playoffs."
Braun is the first MLS Player of the Week for Chivas USA since Ante Razov was given the prize in Week 25 of 2007.
"It's an award for me, but it's also for the team," said Braun. "It's nice to be able to represent Chivas USA in this way."
The award has given Braun a small dose of notoriety, including a poll on MLSsoccer.com asking fans what his nickname should be now that he has put himself firmly into the running for the Budweiser Golden Boot. Among the options are "LeBraun James" and "Cristiano Braunaldo," although "Braunaldinho" has taken a solid lead.
"I like the poll," said Braun with a laugh. "I'm happy to do whatever the fans want. If it comes out as 'Braunaldinho,' then I guess it has to be 'Braunaldinho.'"
Braun will be back in action on Thursday evening, as Chivas USA takes on Mexican First Division side Puebla FC in the opening round of the 2010 Superliga.

It's not about
student success
As an active member of this community, I understand the value of a high-quality public education for our children. The so-called Student Success Act, which will be voted on by the House of Representatives, dismantles 45 years of policy committed to ensuring disadvantaged children are provided a high-quality education.
This bill does nothing to reduce the fixation on high-stakes testing and proposes a flawed system to evaluate teachers, undercutting support for the development and implementation of evaluation systems that are designed to support the continuous improvement of teaching and learning.
This bill undermines our nation's civil rights responsibilities to ensure all children have access to a high-quality education, regardless of their socio-economic background or where they live.
This bill undermines the accountability of state and federal governments to ensure education is adequately funded.

Parking needs to be
in youth center plan
In regard to the article in the 6/27 Sun-News, "School board OKs youth center plan," I would like to address a concern that was not mention in the article: student parking. There was no mention of where all the additional students at the proposed facility would put their cars while attending school. As it is now, the students park all up and down Court Street and Reymond Street, taking up a goodly portion of available parking spaces around Pioneer Women Park and the Women's Clubhouse. I'm just hoping that, as plans evolve for the expansion of schools at this location, the various schools/entities will remember to take into consideration this very serious issue.

It's taken me 4 weeks to perfect this recipe and I fear that Chris is now sick of onion soup. It was worth the effort though. We've just had two consecutive days with excellent tasting soup and I have to admit that the brothiness and depth of flavours in this soup make it an absolute favourite for me.
Ingredients (for one portion – multiply up to the amount you need):
2 brown/white onions
0.75 pint beef stock (or vegetarian if you are that way inclined, but it's not as good)
Cheese for grating – Gruyere or cheddar works well
2 tbsp sherry (this doesn't need multiplying up and is optional if you are being very strictly paleo)
- Thinly slice the onions and place in a saucepan (which has a lid) with a little oil (or butter). I recommend using a pan that is big enough to hold all of the soup so that none of the good flavour gets lost in transfer between pans.
- Place the pan over a low heat so that the onions start to gently sweat, cover the pan with the lid and leave over the heat for 50 minutes. Return to stir the onions every 15-20 mins to make sure they don't catch and burn on the bottom of the pan.
- After 50 minutes the onions should be a pale brown when you stir them round and almost mushy in consistency. The bottom of the pan may also be covered in a dark brown caramel. At this point add some sherry, a little at the time, and use this to deglaze the pan. 2 tbsp is an estimate, it may take a little more or a little less to get all the caramel off the bottom of the pan. If you want to stay non-alcohol paleo then use a splash of the stock to deglaze the pan.
- Add the stock to the pan and bring to the boil. At this point, if you are making the soup well in advance, turn the heat off and leave to stand until 20-25 mins before serving.
- Turn the heat down so that the soup is simmering gently, put the lid on (so that it doesn't all evaporate) and leave simmering for 20-25 mins.
- To serve: after ladling soup into the bowl, generously grate cheese onto the soup. The quantity of onion per person should mean the bowl is quite thick with onion and the cheese doesn't all sink to the bottom.
Advice and a cheese variation:
- Don't rush the onion caramelising stage. The first time I made this I had to stop early to cook breakfast eggs for 4 people. As a result the onions weren't fully caramelised and the soup came out pale and watery. To quote Chris: "it tasted like chopped onions floating in stock". (While that is essentially what it is, proper onion soup shouldn't taste like it.) If the onions haven't become mushy and pale brown then you aren't ready to move to step 3.
- Traditional French onion soup should have a small piece of toasted baguette floating in it with the cheese toasted onto this. If you want something that looks a bit more traditional then slice the cheese as thinly as possible (1-2mm), brush oil liberally on a baking tray, place the cheese on the oil and put under the grill until the cheese has melted down and started to brown and crisp at the very edge (enough for the edge to set slightly but not for the whole thing to become a cheese crisp). Allow this to cool slightly and then lift off the baking tray (this could take some effort). If you cut the cheese thinly enough, this should float. Personally I found it far too much like hard work for the final product.

Printed electronics is an emerging industry that takes advantage of energy
efficient printing technology to manufacture electronic devices for applications
including organic solar cells, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and
flexible displays. These applications require organic semiconductor materials
that can be deposited using conventional low-cost solution processing techniques
such as spin or spray coating and ink-jet printing. TIPS Pentacene, manufactured
by 3M under the name 3M(TM) Organic Electronics Semiconductor L-20856, is the
first in a family of soluble Pentacene-based semiconductors developed by 3M
Electronics Markets Materials Division in collaboration with Dr. John Anthony,
professor at the University of Kentucky and founder of Outrider Technologies
"To help our customers with their quest in printed electronics innovation,
Aldrich developed an extensive line of organic electronics products that includes
materials critical to support ongoing device improvement efforts," said
Dr. Ilya Koltover, business development manager for Aldrich Chemistry and Materials
Science. "We are committed to serving researchers around the globe by enhancing
our organic electronics product line with new and revolutionary device-grade
materials, such as TIPS Pentacene. We are pleased to team with 3M and intend
to extend this collaboration further as new materials are developed and become
"3M is very pleased to offer our TIPS Pentacene for research usage through
Sigma-Aldrich," said Larry Ennett, business manager for 3M Electronics
Markets Materials Division. "This agreement will provide increased global
access to this soluble semiconductor and help the developing organic electronics
market grow."
TIPS Pentacene, known chemically as 6,13-Bis(Triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene,
is soluble in solvents compatible with the electronics manufacturing environment
and has been used to make organic field effect transistors (OFETs) with highest
reported switching speeds and field-effect mobilities in its class. These properties
make TIPS Pentacene the most intensely studied small molecule soluble organic
semiconductor and a prime candidate for emerging OFET applications such as backplane
circuitry for utility-grade displays.

Top 10 Fat Loss Foods
Many readers have been asking about foods that they can incorporate into their daily diet that can help promote fat loss and create a feeling of fullness. Well you asked for it, now I am delivering!
In my opinion, the best fat loss foods are not just "healthy", but must pass the following checklist:
(1) Not calorie dense (I have one exception)
(2) Help fill you up
(3) Create only a small release of insulin
(4) Easy to procure/prepare
So let's get started…
Fat Loss Food #1: Egg Whites
This is a favorite of many natural body builders and fitness models because it's 100% pure protein, containing 4 grams of protein, 0 grams of carbs and fat, and only 16 total calories. Want 10 egg whites for breakfast? Sure why not, it's only 160 calories and will fill you up. An egg white omelet with some veggies and low fat cheese makes for a great breakfast, while a few egg whites from a hardboiled egg can make for a great snack any time (add some high fiber fruit, like an apple, or blueberries for extra bonus points).
Fat Loss Food #2: Low Fat Yogurt
Low fat yogurt is a great way to get a compete protein source, a lot of calcium, and a nice tart flavor to help satisfy your cravings. There are a variety of yogurts, but I would go for those that are not too high in added sugars. For example, it's better to get plain yogurt and add in the fruit yourself. You should also consider non-fat Greek yogurt, which contains a solid 22 grams of protein in only a 1 cup serving and a mere 120 calories.
Some studies have found that eating yogurt can help in fat loss. It may be due to the fact that calcium reduces a fat cells' ability to store fat. Or, it may be due to the branched chain amino acids present in dairy products. Either way, low fat, or non fat yogurt deserves to be part of the Top 10 Fat Loss Foods.
Fat Loss Food #3: Low-Sodium Turkey
Turkey without the skin is among the lowest fat meats available on the market. To cap it off, it's also pretty easy to eat on the go. Want to eat 8 ounces of turkey breast? Why not, it's only about 240 calories and packs a protein punch. I recommend removing the skin, which is all fat, but if you have the skin, just eat in moderation.
Fat Loss Food #4: Apple
This is a favorite of mine, because it's easy to carry around and eat on the go, but it's also very nutritious and high in fiber, so it helps fill you up. An apple contains 24 grams of carbs, 3 of them being from fiber, and around 80 calories in a medium sized apple. I personally like the taste of green apples the most, but the various types of apples don't make much of a difference in terms of calorie content.
I do, however, suggest you try to get organic apples when you can. I can't handle tasting chemicals in the skins of apples that are not organic anymore. Blueberries came very close to making it on to the list because they are so high in fiber and antioxidants, but I think an apple is just easier to eat on the go.
Fat Loss Food #5: Lettuce
While lettuce is not that high in fiber, it requires more calories for your digestive system to digest than the lettuce contains. Pretty cool, huh? This is known as a negative calorie balance.
The main reason lettuce made this list is that you can put as much lettuce as you want in a big bowl, fill it up with veggies, lean meats, maybe some beans for some starch, and you're good to go. The other great quality of lettuce is that it takes a long time to eat, which is a good thing. It takes up to 20 minutes for our brains to sense that we are full. Ideally, the darker green the lettuce, the more antioxidants and the more nutritious.
Fat Loss Food #6: Low-Sodium Chicken/Vegetable Soup
Similar to lettuce, drinking soup at a meal can slow you down, which helps your brain register that you are full. It also helps fill you up and is very low in calories because most broth based soups are low in fat, assuming they haven't been doused in oil.
Like lettuce, you can throw in a lot of veggies and lean meats to make it more nutritious and filling. Healthy Valley has some pretty good low sodium soups, just be careful because some soups have outrageous amounts of sodium, like over 900mg of sodium per 1 cup serving, which is 40% of the suggested daily intake of 2300mg.
Just be careful if you order soups at a restaurant they don't have any cream added.
Fat Loss Food #7: Almonds
While very calorically dense, almonds snuck onto the list because healthy fats are great in moderation, and almonds are among the best healthy fats. An almond is technically the seed of the fruit of the almond tree and is a great source of vitamin E and manganese. While almonds are not a "complete" protein source, a quarter cup of almonds offers solid 6 grams of protein.
Some weight loss studies have shown that the calories from nuts like almonds don't seem to add weight as compared to other foods with the same amount of calories. The theory is that our bodies do not absorb calories from nuts very efficiently.
Either way, be careful not to munch on almonds all day long, because calories can add up fast. Only a quarter cup of almonds contains 140 calories and 15 grams of fat, which means one cup is a solid 560 calories and 60 grams of fat! A handful (about a quarter cup), on the other hand, makes for a great snack.
Fat Loss Food #8: Oatmeal
I love oatmeal because it's filling, but doesn't provide many calories. My favorite oatmeal is Kashi Go Lean vanilla, which only has 160 calories per serving, but you'll be amazed at how much it fills you up because it has 6 grams of fiber. For you hardcore types, McCann's Steel Oats and Traditional Quaker Oats have almost no sugar, but provide natural carbohydrates that will help fuel your workouts, without spiking your insulin levels. One more thing, if eating enough protein at breakfast is a problem area for you, then consider mixing in some whey protein, use skim milk instead of water, or a cup of egg whites.
Fat Loss Food #9: Low-Sodium Tuna
There's a joke that many natural bodybuilders smell like tuna fish, because they are always eating cans of tuna all day long. The tuna you get at the Deli that's filled with mayo does NOT count. In fact, mayo is a fat loss disaster, because it's so calorically dense. I chose tuna because it's easy to carry around for a high protein snack on the go. Of course, a tuna steak, and most fish for the matter are great sources of protein and healthy fats as well.
Fat Loss Food #10 Broccoli
I never used to eat broccoli as a kid, but fortunately I started eating broccoli after college and I developed a taste for it (as long as it's steamed, I can't stand raw broccoli!). Feel free to add it to your salads, or as a side with your lean meat, but you can't go wrong with broccoli. Well, actually, let me clarify that.
If you smother it with sodium/sugar filled teriyaki sauce and stir fry it, broccoli can lose its appeal. Sautéed broccoli is still a heck of a lot healthier than French fries, but steamed is ideal. In general, vegetables are phenomenal fat loss foods and more veggies could have easily made it on this fat loss list.
As you probably started to notice, you can mix and match these 10 fat loss foods to create a number of different healthy, low calorie, nutritious snacks and meals to help you reach your fitness goals.
If you think I should have included something that didn't make the list, or you have anything to add, leave a comment!

Marc, this is a truly stellar article. Very helpful tips! Would love to read any similar articles. Thanks!
Thanks for all the great articles Marc, this one is really helpful. Keep up the good work! I start every morning with oatmeal, skim milk, blueberries, flax seed, and peanut butter mixed together and nuked for 3 min. Gets me going every time but I have a question, is the whey protein a better option than the peanut butter if I'm trying to keep muscle but slim down?
I love this list! Out of the 10 items, I've been eating 6 of them! Never knew that these could help me keep off fat!
It's a shame, though, that I started eating them about a month ago! My lardo body has still not shaped up
Everything takes time huh!
I put almonds in my oatmeal every morning and found it encouraging to see them both on the list.
Dear Marc, Very good tips > guess over the years I know them all,but the sweet tooth devil always follows me. WHY?? Barb
thank you marc! i'm into about half of these food items but will make a point to use the other five.
Thanks Marc. I was going to request information about healthy snack foods. I have been eating oatmeal with egg whites whipped into the oatmeal with half a banana. I am now going to eliminate the banana and add half an apple for breakfast. I love the idea of creating combinations of the 10 healthy snack suggestions. It will definitely make life easier on the go.
Great list Marc…..
I just tried egg whites instead of H2O with my McCann's oatmeal….WOW! It was great, never thought about that. Thanks for the tip. Now I am off to create other combinations. Keep up articles coming, much appreciated!
Hi Marc:
A very good list; I have a few other items to suggest if you feel they are appropirate. Walnuts, a small amout dark chocolate: and blueberries and a few pieces of pinaapples which are good anti inflamatory.
Take care,
I found this site under my bookmarks, probably bookmarked it my wife. Do you have a rss or something like this? I want to add you to my rss reader, becous liked this article especially your way how to explain this.

I would think if it has chocolate than probably not but walnuts by themselves are awesome anda good source of healthy fats.
Nice list Marc!

Weight loss is not food dependent. It is calorie dependent. To lose weight you can eat whatever type of food you want as long as you cut back on calories. Now, of course you have to worry about proper nutrition too, but if your only goal is weight loss then it doesn't matter what you eat, rather how many calories you take in.

Very nice blog. I love oatmeal as well! Not sure about the guy who replaced water with egg whites in his oat meals, but other than that the blog is great!

Why is meat on the list???? Becoming vegetarian is the easiest way to get a lower fat diet and vegans consume no calories atall in their diet! Surely getting rid of meat is the best way to go?
May 5, 2011 #
I have a question about whey protein. Which is a better choice, whey protein isolate or whey protein concentrate? Thanks!
May 8, 2011 #
@ Marc P. Thanks again for the info. I was drinking whey smoothies with fruit for quicker absorption & convenience although I do prefer whole natural foods. I'm not sure if someone has asked this before, but is eating a high quality protein and a carb the best post workout meal? For example chicken breast with veggies and should I add a starchy carb and a good fat to the meal?
July 1, 2011 #
I like the whole yogurt with blueberries concept but I absolutely hate the taste of yogurt. So I substitute the yogurt for lowfat cottage cheese and throw a few walnuts on top along with the blueberries. I have this for breakfast sometimes with a cup of green tea minus the sugar. It's really good.
I have a question about the egg whites. I heard somewhere that eating too much eggs is bad for you, and in this article, you stated that eating 10 egg (egg white) is fine! Can you please explain to me if it's really safe to eat 10 eggs in a day?
Thank you, I just wanted to make sure before I start adding egg white omelets to my breakfast!
September 19, 2012 #
Great article Marc. Looks like i have to add apple into my diet :0
October 22, 2012 #
Great post. One thing I'd like to add about the broccoli, I make a veggie stir fry. I cook it in coconut oil. Throw some carrots, broccoli, peppers, and whatever else, into the mix. When it's done I put just a splash of liquid Aminos (natural soy sause) on it. Most of the time I'll make a little bit of quinoa to have with it.
But my point is, you can fry things, and not greatly impact the calorie input. Or make it a greasy mess.

Customized Sleeve for iPad Mini
Overall rating based on 89 reviews
Kenneth Parmalee – Verified Buyer
My GF and I enjoyed the shopping / customizing experience. She receives compliments on her iPad sleeve often.
A.J. – Verified Buyer
This is an excellent sleeve for the iPad mini. I searched everywhere to find a durable, light weight sleeve or case foe the iPad mini to no avail. My customized Rickshaw sleeve is perfect in so many ways! The sleeve fits the iPad mini and smart cover in it's ultra plush interior pouch (I would love a blanket made of the same material)! The sleeve protects the iPad from any damage; great for when I want to throw my iPad in my purse for the day. The variety of color choices really offer something for everyone. I love my Rickshaw sleeve and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good home for their iPad or iPad mini!
Ralph Jackson – Verified Buyer
I had a customized sleeve for my iPad 3 first and it has been my favorite, so it was a "no brainer" for the mini. Love the choice of materials to customize with.
East coast buyer – Verified Buyer
Simply put, this sleeve is the best product on the market!
MB – Verified Buyer
Well made - custom options are great! My sleeve is kitted out w my St L Cards' colors. My ipad mini loves the plush interior and the cordura fabric has a great tactile feel! And I love that I am supporting one of my local businesses! Rock on!

of the
94 • Goose Island Beer Co. 2011 Lolita.
Copper red color. Aromas of fresh raspberries and cheese turnovers with a supple, dryish medium body and a tart, sour citrus, root vegetable, and Brazil nut finish. A great savory beer with delicate balancing fruitiness. This screams for food. (tasted on Sep-04-2013)
93 • Goose Island Beer Co. 2012 Juliet.
Rich reddish copper color. Aromas and flavors of honey on poppy seed cake and berry vinaigrette with a crisp, tart medium body and long, mouthwatering roasted root vegetable and lemon vinaigrette on kale finish. A very appetizing beer. (tasted on Sep-04-2013)
90 • Hopcat Brewery Golden Devil.
Bright old gold color. Nicely sour aromas of Key lime pie, lemongrass, cheese rind, and sour cream frosting with a supple, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a tangy, spicy pineapple custard, savory grainy bread, sweet mint tea, corn pudding, and exotic peppercorn accented finish. Very different, but fun. (tasted on May-13-2013)
89 • The Brooklyn Brewery Wild Streak.
Old golden color. Aromas of honeyed toasted fruit cake with a crisp tangy medium body and a molasses, caramel and peach skin finish. (tasted on Sep-04-2013)

Posted by Chip Patterson
Earlier this week, former N.C. State quarterback Russell Wilson ended the long-awaited indecision regarding his immediate future by announcing his transfer to Wisconsin. Wilson chose the Badgers over Auburn and continuing his career with the Asheville Tourists, the Class A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
While some assumed that this may be the end of Wilson's baseball career, his time with the Rockies. according to Wilson's agent, may not be over after all.
"The Rockies have been incredibly understanding of how torn emotionally Russell is between baseball and football. He's not being disrespectful," agent Mark Rodgers told The Denver Post. "He's a 22-year-old kid who wants to keep his options open. The Rockies haven't closed the door on him coming back. And Russell has not closed the door."
Wilson did not have a fantastic start to his first season with the Tourists, batting .228 and only driving in 15 runs. He was second on the team in stolen bases (15), but it was not the kind of season expected from a fourth-round pick. If he chooses to stick with football, and does not return to the Rockies; he will have to forfeit "slightly less than 50 percent of his $200,000 signing bonus."
As Dennis Dodd pointed out, Wilson's arrival makes the Badgers the new Big Ten favorite. Wilson walks into a situation where he will be able to take advantage of the big stage to boost his professional football chances.
If Wilson can't impress scouts while playing for a Big Ten powerhouse, then heading back to the diamond might be his best move. Wilson has totaled up 93 touchdowns (passing and rushing) in his three-year career on the gridiron, and has stated his dream to play in both the NFL and in the major leagues.
The good news for the new Badgers signal-caller is that both doors are still open.

Update – June 2014
Kahle Lake Dam is a Class B, Category 3 dam. Although it's not considered high hazard by DEP, it is a large dam that retains a significant amount of water. PFBC engineers will continue to inspect the dam regularly and monitor the conditions. Until we see a need to make a further change, we plan hold the present water elevation.
Our Fisheries Manager for that area reports the ramp on the north side of the lake is deeper and PFBC has been able to launch our larger john and semi V boats off it rather easily. Really large bass boats might have some problem.
The PFBC is expected to maintain the lake at the current water level while the agency's engineering staff makes plans to fix deficiencies with the dam's spillway discovered during a July 2009 inspection. "Boaters can still use the launching facilities while this repair process goes through the stages of completion," said Daniel Leonard, director of the PFBC Bureau of Engineering and Property Services. "However, boaters should exercise patience and extra precautions to safely launch and retrieve their boats."
The PFBC has established a preliminary estimate of repairs at $500,000. While the timeline for completing the repairs depends on acquiring funding, the dam is tentatively scheduled to be repaired by summer 2012.
In the past, routine winter drawdowns have been successful at reducing aquatic vegetation congestion in the lake by exposing shallow areas to drying and the freezing temperatures of winter. This management practice kills the plants, which can impact fishing conditions and some fish species. Normal pool level is usually reestablished in the spring, but with the recent discovery of repairs needed, boaters and anglers are asked to be patient so this excellent fishery can be maintained well into the future.
Kahle Lake is a 251-acre, PFBC-owned impoundment located on the border of Clarion and Venango counties near Emlenton. It is managed to allow fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, bluegill, yellow perch, black crappies, walleye and brown bullhead.
For specific information about Kahle Lake or other lakes in the area, contact Area Fisheries Manager Allen Woomer at 814-755-3890 or email@example.com.
The mission of the Fish and Boat Commission is to protect, conserve, and enhance the Commonwealth's aquatic resources and provide fishing and boating opportunities. For more information about fishing and boating in Pennsylvania, please visit our website at www.fishandboat.com.
