How To Do Halloween Cat Makeup
Get your child ready for Hallowe'en with this VideoJug tutorial featuring face painter Juliet Eve from Facade Academy (www.facadeacademy.co.uk). Here, Juliet demonstrates how to transform your child into a cat for Hallowe'en using face painting techniques. Follow her step-by-step instructions to give the trick-or-treater in your life a costume they'll never forget.
Today, I'm going to do on Ruby here, how to do a Halloween cat makeup. There we go, right. Keep nice and still for me then, Ruby.
Good girl. So I'll put the white over the nose around the muzzle. Turn your face slightly that way, there's a good girl.
So this is the white in the middle. Then I'll take a little bit up, just up to the middle there. Then I'm going to take the silver out, blend the silver into the white around the edge.
Good girl, keep your eyes closed for a minute for me. Well done, that's brilliant. So I've got some black on the sponge as well and I'm just going to sort of edge it, sort of where you might have a kind of fluffy fur, an effect around the edge of this cat face.
Now, I want you to close your eyes for me because we're going to give you green cat's eyes. So, now, I'm going to get the black brush and do the outline now. Alright, Ruby, put your head up a little bit, there's a good girl.
So, first, we'll go round the outline of the ears. So, up here, turn the corner, give it a little wobble down the side there, it just gives it a bit of expression. And then for the sort of inside of the ear, I do that and then just blend that down.
It just looks like the inside of the ear, okay, and round, down, give it a little wobble at the edge and then follow that darker bit I had there. So, it looks like it's the outside of the ear and there's the inside. That's brilliant.
At the top here, I'm just going to give it a few little hairy bits up there. That's for sure. So we give you a little pink nose, just like that.
Actually, we'll give you pink lips as well, shall we? Now, can you open your mouth a tiny bit for me, Ruby, just a little bit? There's a good girl. Now, we do a very thin line down the center here and a little 'A' at the bottom. And then from the corner of the mouth with the finest brush line, I'm going to curl it round.
There's a kind of cute little cat face, and then tiny little whisker spots, just a few. Now, can you close your eyes again for me? Keep them closed. So, lift the eyes up like that and just for fun, we'll create a little eye shape on the lid.
Can you keep your eyes closed for me, love? Keep them closed. Good girl. And so just try and make your whiskers planted, literally, where the whisker spots are.
Oh, let's put some glitter on you, shall we? There we are. We'll put some glitter on your cheeks. A little bit there on your lip, on those ears, and can you close your eyes? A tiny bit just on the edge.
Maybe on the nose as well, got to put it there, too. .

Citibank is among five banks to fail the Federal Reserve's stress test.
- Filed Under
The Federal Reserve rejected the plans of Citigroup and four other banks to raise dividend payments and increase stock buybacks, saying their management practices or capital cushions are not robust enough to withstand a severe economic downturn.
Twenty-five other banks that took part in the Fed's annual "stress test" received a green light for their planned dividend payouts and share repurchases. Bank of America and Goldman Sachs initially fell short of minimum capital requirements but met the standards after reducing their planned dividend payments and share buybacks over the past ...

Hot Gossip
Swine, Women and Wrong: George Lopez Says Sorry to Kirstie Alley
It's good to know that George Lopez isn't completely pigheaded. The late night talk show host has issued a mea culpa for taking a body potshot at Kirstie Alley following her debut this week on "Dancing With the Stars."
Seems he's reconsidered the comedic value in comparing the veteran actress to a pig.
"I misjudged the joke," he contritely tweeted on Thursday. "No malice was intended and I apologize to Kirstie."
Of course, some might feel he misjudged the use of the word "joke."
"She did a nice job, her little hooves tapping away," Lopez cracked on his TBS show this week while rolling a clip of Kirstie's surprisingly deft performance with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. "Before the show, she went to the market, and then she had roast beef and this is her going all the way home …"
He cut to a clip of a GEICO commercial featuring a piglet squealing "wheeeee!"
We'll give you a second to let the groans subside. OK, moving on …
Kirstie, who lost 60 pounds before shaking her groove thing on "DWTS," decided to join Lopez on the low road via her own Twitter, first by referring to him as a "drunk pig" and later by upgrading him to inebriated wolf status.
"Don't worry about George's comments," she tweeted. "Just remember what happens to the big bad, drunk woolf …falls in a boiling pot of vodka. Piggy laughs."
Alley is also laughing over Lopez's apology attempts. On Friday morning, she flung his contrition back at him -- and tossed in a zinger about his 2010 split from wife Ann, who donated a kidney to him in 2005.
"I don't need or want ur apology...I want your kidney dude," ranted Kirstie. "On behalf of ur X and all the women uv insulted...give it back."
What's your take on George's apology and Kirstie's response? Tell us in the comments.

Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Cyler Miles threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Washington Huskies to an easy 37-13 victory over the Oregon State Beavers in a Pac-12 Conference clash at Husky Stadium.
Miles completed 18-of-23 passes for Washington (7-5, 3-5 Pac-12), which snapped a two-game losing streak. Dwayne Washington rushed for 100 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Jaydon Mickens caught five passes for 84 yards and a score while also adding a 36-yard touchdown run.
For Oregon State (5-6, 2-6), Sean Mannion threw for 314 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on 30-of-46 passing, with Victor Bolden (10 receptions, 145 yards) acting as his primary target. Jordan Villamin (five receptions, 61 yards, two TDs) also had an impressive outing.
Washington led 14-0 after the first quarter. The scoring started with a 54- yard touchdown pass from Miles to Mickens at the 11:20 mark of the frame, and with under five minutes to play in the quarter Washington ripped off a 68-yard touchdown run.
The Huskies added a 34-yard field goal by Cameron Van Winkle early in the second quarter.
The Beavers scored their first points inside of three minutes remaining in the first half when Mannion tossed a 9-yard touchdown to Villamin.
Washington padded its lead in the third quarter on a pair of Van Winkle field goals (41, 26).
Oregon State chipped away at its deficit in the final minute of the third quarter with another Mannion-to-Villamin touchdown hookup from 36 yards away, although the ensuing two-point conversion attempt failed.
The Huskies continued to keep a safe distance from Oregon State early in the fourth quarter following a 36-yard touchdown run by Mickens.
Washington put the finishing touches on the win later in the fourth on a 68- yard touchdown toss from Miles to Darrell Daniels.
Washington rushed for 226 yards, compared to just 47 for Oregon State.

Recently The American Council on Exercise (ACE) reviewed both the Core Transformer 1,000 Calorie BURN Kit and Fat BURN Fusion Kit giving both kits high marks all the way around. In fact both Core Transformer kits received positive 5 stars out of 5 stars! We'd also like to mention that top ACE trainer, Jonathan Ross, author of the best-selling book, Abs Revealed, (is that a great title for ab core training or what:):)!?!) also lists the Core Transformer as one of his favorite head-to-toe core performance training tools. Here are some highlights from their recent, 5-star out of 5-stars positive review:
"The workouts are designed around the Core Transformer Resistance Band, a high-quality, eco-friendly elastic tube with handles and padded foot straps. The foot straps, which keep the tubing from slipping out from under your shoes, are its best feature. Not only does the Core Transformer feel safer than traditional tubing, it allows for a greater range of movement and exercise selection, which is reflected in the accompanying DVDs."
"During standing exercises, the resistance band is strapped to the feet, the tubes are crossed twice and the handles are grasped in front of the body. This creates the so-called constant resistance, which can be felt throughout the body, particularly in the core, shoulders and arms."
What we liked:
• High-quality exercise tubing with padded foot straps, which keep tubing secure and allow for greater movement during exercises.
• Customizable workout lengths, from 20 minutes to 1 hour.
• Provides a high-intensity, total-body strength and cardio workout to use even within the confined space of a living room."

CARLSBAD >> The Cavegirls found themselves trailing in the fifth game by four points -- seemingly headed for an appointment with an eventual loss. But Shawni Judah helped turn the tide with a kill and a trio of serves to close out the final set with a 25-21, 25-18. (25-10), (27-25). 15-12 victory over the Lovington Wildcats.
Lovington tried to call a time out to break up Judah's streak, but she wasn't fazed at all.
"I just stayed focused on the win. Most coaches use (the timeout) as a strategy to psych us out, but I just breathed and focused on game point," Judah said.
After wining the first two games, then dropping the next two, Carlsbad was behind 11-7 points in the final set and momentum wasn't on their side after a 6-2 run by the Wildcats.
All that changed when Judah sent a kill raining down on the Lovington side of the net.
Carlsbad gave up just one more point the rest of the way, and a pair of aces by Judah helped the Cavegirls close out for the win.
"We just have to take advantage of any momentum we can get. Once we get it going, it is great," Cavegirl Hannah Paul said.
Both teams had seen the heights and depths of momentum swings throughout the match, starting with the first game. After the two teams leveled the score at 3-3, one of Brittany Box's team-high nine kills set up the Cavegirls for an 8-0 run; and they never relinquished their lead on the way to a 25-21 victory.
The second game played out much like the first as the Cavegirls jumped out to an early lead they'd extend to 10 points before winning the set 25-18.
But something happened between the second and third sets as Carlsbad suddenly looked completely out of sync. Gone was the accurate passing and strong finishes while Lovington dominated the game after jumping out to a 1-13 lead. The Cavegirls eventually fell 25-10 and lost the fourth set as well, but in a more competitive fashion. The Wildcats and Cavegirls traded the lead several times before the Cavegirls came back to even the score at 23-23. But the Cavegirls couldn't close out after taking a one-point lead, and Lovington took the third set 27-25.
Despite the set backs, Carlsbad knew they still had one more game left to salvage the match.
"It was all positive in the huddle. I reminded them to just play and let the other team make the errors because that's what happened to us in the third game, we just forced too many. I just encouraged them to fight," Carlsbad coach Bonnie McKenzie said.
In the final game the Cavegirls cleaned up their play after spotting the Wildcats a 5-1 lead. Carlsbad rallied back and leveled the score at 5-5 behind a pair of aces by Paul. Lovington struck back to lead 11-7, but the Cavegirls finished the game strong behind Judah's aces to win 15-12 and earn the match victory.
"She knew the pressure was on her and she followed through, so I was really proud of that," McKenzie said.
After committing 30 service errors in their game against Hobbs, the Cavegirls cut that number to 13 against Lovington while posting 23 aces as a team.
Jourdan Lunsford and Paul led the Cavegirls with 10 digs and were followed by Alexx Zumbrun and Judah with eight each. Judah also led the team with three blocks. Box had nine kills to lead Carlsbad while Rylan Gonsalez had seven and Paul had six. Zumbrun's 21 sets led the team while Paul's nine aces were also a team high.
The victory came on the Cavegirls "Dig Pink Night", a fundraiser to help raise awareness for the fight against breast cancer.
"I just want to think everyone in the community, family, friends and fans for coming out and supporting us. This event wouldn't be anything without them," McKenzie said.

A court has ordered Facebook to hand over information about pages created in March that featured derogatory posts and photos of Fort Collins teen girls.
The pages prompted concern among parents, students and educators over the effects of the posts that labeled girls as sexually promiscuous.
With investigations ongoing, Rocky Mountain High School Resource Officer Matt Johnson on Friday said he couldnt discuss details of the warrant, signed this week by an 8th Judicial District judge. He declined to say whether it addressed specific individuals or controversial pages that featured photos of scantily-clad young women from high schools across Fort Collins and talk of illegal and sexual activities at Poudre High School.
He also declined to say whether the warrant mentioned specific IP addresses, the unique numerical label attached to each computer or network. Johnson wasnt sure how long it could take Facebook to compile the records requested.
The Coloradoan was unable to immediately obtain a copy of the search warrant for review.
Were definitely in a holding pattern for the moment until we can get more information, Johnson said of the investigation that started late last month with creation of pages on Facebook including Fossil Chicks, Nasty Chicks of FoCo and Impala Confessions.
Johnson said its relatively common for officers and investigators to work with a judge to submit search warrants to Facebook. And while he didnt immediately know of specific cases, he said the same goes for other cases linked to Poudre School District.
This one has a different flavor, however, because it involves so many people, he said.
At this time, the page creator or creators identities are unknown. Even if police and PSD find out who they are, federal law protects their name from being made public.

NEW YORK The latest Hollywood marriage is between two branded entertainment companies seeking to develop sponsored programs for mobile consumers worldwide.
Meteor Worldwide is launching a mobile content delivery company and a programming partnership with reality producer Reveille. Called Pliq (a name chosen in a competition), the new service will launch next year, according to Meteor managing partners Dieter Abt and Ben Blanco. Sanjay Pothen has been named Pliq CEO.
Reveille's maiden foray into mobile distribution will allow it to reach "audiences around the world," said Reveille CEO Ben Silverman, who will serve on Pliq's board. In addition to repurposing shows like The Restaurant, $25 Million Hoax, Meet Mr. Mom, The Club, House Wars and Adrenaline X, Reveille will create original branded content for the wireless distributor.
Meteor's in-house production unit, White Flower, will help Reveille on "development and production of mobisodes," said Abt. Currently the White Flower slate has 10 scripted small-screen series "incorporating user-generated content and text messages," added Blanco.
The ad model for Pliq programming will include both 15-second interstitials (before, during or after editorial content) and brand-sponsored or brand-integrated series, explained Blanco. Meteor, which this summer inked a deal with Havas branded-content shop B6, has been exploring mobile projects with agency clients like Nike and Dannon.
Volkswagen, Meteor's original client, is also in discussions about mobile properties.
Other Pliq tasks include matching brands with Hollywood properties?especially those of Meteor partner Universal Studios?and disseminating the brand-integrated content via marketing campaigns and White Flower's "Pliq Flick" series.
Domestic advertising on mobile devices (not including branded or sponsored content) amounted to $45 million last year and is expected to reach $1.3 billion by 2011, per Ovum. Yet the Boston researcher's svp of U.S. consumer practice, Mary Ann O'Loughlin, cautioned that "it's very complex to understand what the [media] ecosystem will look like ... and it's still very, very early to tell."
"Forward-thinking" companies will include mobile in their 2007 media plans," though allocating only 1-2 percent of their budgets, O'Loughlin said.
It's not a stretch that branded content will take off on tiny screens, argued O'Loughlin. Noting that the market is "moving to an advertiser-funded model" where content is subsidized, she said branded series "made specifically for mobile consumption are compelling applications" where the use of advertising is "subtle."

Demolition of old Penn Hills High School gets under way
Students, parents and residents were able to take one last, loving look at the old Penn Hills High School on Valentine's Day.
Demolition began on the old senior high this morning, Thursday, and school district officials were able to make the most of the building's final days by holding an auction of older equipment, donating items to Forbes Road Career and Technology Center in Monroeville and using the building as a training ground for local police and the county SWAT team.
Business director Richard Liberto said an equipment auction, held Feb. 9, brought in about $70,000.
"We had everything from old furniture to lockers to older yearbooks," Liberto said. "People bought old letters that went on lettermen jackets, the old science-equipment frogs that students used to dissect, microscopes, old VCRs and TVs and a lot of other miscellaneous stuff."
Liberto said proceeds from the auction will be put into the district's bond fund.
The district also donated more than 360 lockers and about 130 desks and chairs to Forbes Road Career and Technology Center, according to Forbes Administrative Director Paul Balint.
"Our lockers are getting older here and deteriorating. Kids use them and break them," Balint said. "We're guessing that they run about $100 to $150 per locker, so you can imagine what that saved us in our budget.
"It's really helped us out a lot."
Additionally, members of the Penn Hills Police Department and the Allegheny County SWAT team held training exercises Feb. 12 and 13.
School board officials approved the 2013-14 school calendar at their Feb. 11 meeting. Some highlights include:
• Aug. 26: First day of school for students
• Nov. 28 to Dec. 2: Thanksgiving break
• Dec. 23 to Jan. 2: Holiday break
• Jan. 14: No school for students
• Jan. 20: Martin Luther King Day, no school
• Feb. 17: President's Day, no school (first possible make-up day)
• March 21: Professional education day, no school
• April 16 to 21: Easter break (April 16, 17 and 21 are all possible make-up days)
• May 23: Kennywood picnic day, no school
• May 26: Memorial Day, no school
• June 6: High school commencement, last day for students
Keystone exams
School board officials also approved a change in students' schedules during the administration of the 2013 Keystone exams:
• May 13: All junior and senior students proficient and advanced on the Algebra I Keystone will be excused from school.
• May 14: All freshman and senior students, in addition to juniors proficient and advanced on the Literature Keystone will be excused from school.
• May 15: All seniors will be excused to allow all other grade levels to take the Biology Keystone.

Efficiency and uptime are key across all industries, but especially so in E&P where safe and secure operations are critical. Increasingly more of those operations utilize hardware and software solutions to communicate between the field and office. This increased application use coupled with high volume of server requests place an increased burden on shared storage resources that adversely impact application performance. One way to overcome these storage bottlenecks that degrade application performance in virtual environments is through the use of high speed server resources like flash storage. By putting storage performance on the server tier, companies can accelerate virtual workloads while extending the life of existing storage assets.
This webinar will explore the interfaces, server appliances, integration and configuration of flash storage, consider the advantages and limitations of PCIe, SAS and SATA, and show how SSD's reliability, performance, data integrity and direct application access break the I/O bottleneck for massive performance and productivity gains over HDD.
One of the largest obstacles to time-to-oil today is in the tremendous increases in the amount of data used and generated in support of a single project. How can you build a faster time to oil when you generate, capture, transfer, store, process and analyze data to get answers faster?
The global shipping industry is under increasing political pressure to reduce emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases. For several years, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has been working on tightening regulations controlling air pollutant emissions from shipping – regulations in Annex VI of the Marpol Convention. IFQC invited Donald Gregory, Director of the Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems Association (EGCSA) to give an overview of the exhaust gas cleaning systems as well as developments and operating experience with them. This Webinar will provide you insight into the marine scrubber technology and help you understand what role it will play meeting the future marine challenges - perfect also for busy executives who do not have time to follow developments on a daily basis! The following questions are answered: What technologies exist to tackle marine emissions? How do these technologies differ? What is the payback period for the scrubber systems? What are the existing challenges for these technologies? What is their operating experience? The Webinar consists of a 30 minute presentation by Gregory and a 30 minute Q&A session. More on the Annex VI of the Marpol Convention: A revised Annex VI was formally approved by IMO in October 2008, and entered into force on July 1, 2010. Its main changes are tighter controls on sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions (via fuel sulfur limits), and on nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. The first impact is that the sulfur limit for marine fuels used in designated SOx Emission Control Areas (ECAs) was lowered to 1.00 wt% July 2010. Beyond 2010, Annex VI will further tighten sulfur limits both globally and in SOx ECAs. In all cases, abatement measures (such as exhaust gas scrubbing) are permitted as an alternative to using compliant fuels. More on the EGCSA: Member companies of the EGCSA are involved in the development, design and final installed configuration and design approval and acceptance of turnkey exhaust gas cleaning systems to meet the current and future emissions regulations of IMO and where applicable additional regulations introduced by regional and national authorities.
Argentina's Neuquén Basin holds a wealth of tight gas and shale reservoirs, and companies are launching drilling programs to assess these resources. Explorers are targeting the thick and rich Vaca Muerta and Los Molles shales, two well-known, world-class source rocks that are receiving new attention. A discovery by Repsol YPF in the oil-prone portion of the Vaca Muerta could hold 150 million barrels of recoverable oil, and the company has already kicked off a major development project. Operators are also testing unconventional gas prospects in both shales, and in tight-gas sands. In addition to its attractive geology, the Neuquén Basin has other attributes that favor unconventional development. It has a long history of oil and gas operations, is home to an established, thriving service sector, and has excellent access to markets.
Rapidly-growing seismic data volumes and increased use of pre-stack gathers continue to complicate seismic data management, delaying interpretation.

How 3-D image-based petrophysical properties such as porosity, permeability and wettability impact recovery and contribute to the faster development of a more accurate reservoir model.
When lab results and log measurements are inconsistent, inconclusive or conflicting, it can be an 'all hands on deck' exercise to unravel the data and get to the truth. However, in many cases the necessary data points such as wettability, capillary pressure and relative permeability can be months, if not years, away from input to the reservoir model. Guesstimates can lead to over- or under-inflated evaluations of recoverable hydrocarbons and can greatly impact production predictions – ultimately compromising decision-making that effects CAPEX investments in downstream infrastructure.
Digital rock is a relatively new discipline that advances traditional core analysis by using high-resolution microscopy imaging systems and 3-D visualization techniques to analyze the microstructural rock features of core samples. Using process- or image-based modeling, digital rock creates an accurate representation of the pore-scale internal rock architecture in 3-D by incorporating micro- and nano-scale structures such as grain size, contact angles, pore network connectivity, mineralogy, and clay content (to name a few). The models can be used to generate multi-phase fluid flow simulations that provide advanced rock and fluid properties in less time than traditional measurements – a first look at the dynamics contributing to ultimate recovery.
In this webinar, you will:
• Learn about digital rock modeling and how simulated multi-phase flow properties can deliver answers faster and with greater insight than traditional measurements.
• Discover the many instances where digital rock analysis can provide answers which are either difficult or impossible to obtain by more conventional methods.
• Understand how the combination of imaging and pore-scale modelling can lead to more accurate estimates of properties like residual hydrocarbon saturations.

What you will learn:
The oil and gas industry is collecting massive amounts of sensor data from operations spanning exploration, drilling, and production. The velocity and complexity of data growth has put immense strain on application and database performance not to mention skyrocketing data storage costs. This rapid growth necessitates a fundamental change to the way data is collected, stored, analyzed, and accessed to support real-time intelligence and decision making.
'Night Dragon' and 'Stuxnet' attacks have unleashed a flurry of media coverage. In the face of these advanced and persistent threats to your real-time systems and intellectual property do you need to think and act differently than you have in the past? As cyber security threats escalate and the level of process automation increases, the oil and gas industry is taking lessons from downstream plants and the utility industry. Nation state attackers are the biggest threat to the industry, but many unknown threats also exist worldwide. If your corporate reputation and profitability are paramount, you must take control of cyber risks by implementing an actionable plan that closes gaps, meets standards and delivers the financial and organizational efficiencies and brand impact you seek.

|Management of recurrent ischial pressure sore with gracilis muscle flap and V-Y profunda femoris artery perforator-based flap.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18595789 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Inappropriate seating has been implicated as a major contributing factor in ischial pressure-sore recurrence. During their lifetime, paraplegic patients may require several flaps for closure of the same or some other adjacent pressure sore. Despite a wide variety of flap reconstruction options being described, the ischium remains the most difficult pressure-sore site to treat. METHODS: From June 1998 to July 2006, there were 253 pressure-sore patients operated upon at Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital. Ten patients (eight men and two women) suffered from recurrent ischial pressure sores, and all of them received more than one flap reconstruction for the ischial defect. For the treatment of the recurrent ischial pressure sore, gracilis muscle flap and readvancement of the V-Y profunda femoris artery perforator-based flap were used to fill the dead space as well as cover the defect. RESULTS: Among these 10 recurrent ischial pressure-sore patients, six of them had suffered bilateral ischial ulcers. Eight of them had previous sacral pressure sores. In all, 32 flap reconstruction procedures were performed on these 10 patients. Unfortunately, one patient had recurrent grade II bilateral ischial pressure sores after 11 months of ulcer-free period. The other nine patients had no recurrence noted, and enjoyed their lives with an average 27.2 months ulcer-free period (range 9-53 months). CONCLUSIONS: The fasciocutaneous flap provides a higher mechanical resistance than the detached and transposed muscle. However, for the recurrent ischial ulcer patients, readvancement of the perforator-based fasciocutaneous flap alone cannot provide adequate bulk to obliterate the 'dead space' after debridement of the bursa and the surrounding necrotic tissue. By combining the readvancement of V-Y profunda femoris artery perforator-based fasciocutaneous flap and gracilis muscle flap, these recurrent ischial ulcers will heal without complication. Recurrence of ulceration often develops despite successful flap closure. Patients and their relatives have to be educated regarding pressure relief, personal skin, and self-care. Surgeons must collaborate with the rehabilitation department, nursing staffs, and social workers to improve long-term results.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Contractor hired to tear down well-known silos Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -
A Louisville landmark will be coming down with the hiring of a contractor to demolish 22 concrete silos that spell out University of Louisville.
The UofL Foundation said Friday it has hired a demolition firm to begin work to clear the site along Interstate 65.
The school says the winning bidder submitted the lowest proposed price of $687,800 for the project.
The firm will remove the silos and several smaller structures on the 15-acre site.
UofL's foundation purchased the property for $3.3 million from Solae Co., a DuPont subsidiary, last December.
The university hasn't disclosed its long-term plans for the property on the edge of campus. The school says that in the short term, the property will be used for parking for football games at nearby Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: anallawalla & bakedjake
Thanks in Advance for any replies.
The question is simple, the answer may not be.
I just became aware of Local Search so i searched <edit> "City + Vertical" and i see that 3 <edit> "Companies" are listed in the privileged position above all others.
These 3 dont rank high in Google Organic Search.
These 3 dont rank high in Google Directory.
These 3 dont have a lot of links or even very optimized sites.
What can i do to get my site to be one of the top 3?
TIA, Will.
[edited by: Chicago at 10:03 pm (utc) on Feb. 26, 2005]
[edit reason] Removed specific search string and replace with City + Vertical [/edit]
The top results in the pure G local serp bear little resemblance to traditional serps ranking or traditional opimized pages as the local algo looks keys in on different factors.
The G local algo, like the traditional G algo, has components which are not disclosed to the public. What we do know, however, is that G local crawls the web looking for identifable local data on your web pages, and looks to verify that data accross the web, specifically through authoritative yellow page properties, core data providers, as well as structured local directory sources. Therefore, there are components of the local algo with coincide with the principles of PageRank.
You also have to keep in mind that the G local algo has proximity (distance) scoring, which is extremely difficult to manipulate. Therefore you need to focus on *consistant* and *accurate* local data dissemination for your business, on your site, and accross local authorities pages, starting with the IYPs, and the major data aggregators like infousa, axciom and others.
There are a couple of other tricks, some of which have been mentioned in this forum, others can be deduced by continuing to figure out what the local algo's key in on.
"The 3 results that you see on the G serp, coincide directly with the top 3 results in the pure G local serp for the same search."
YES, that is true. That is the question, not the answer. For this search:
<edit> removed search query
WHY do these 3 appear at the top where it says "Local results for photographer near Tucson, AZ"? They dont rank well in the organic listings. Nor do they rank well in the G Dir.
IF THEY DID rank well in those listings, then there's no question. The question is WHY THESE 3 who have NEVER had any success in G and all of a sudden are given Royal Prominence in G Local.
This is the question. What is there about G Local that seems to have nothing to do w/ G or G Dir. Note: <edit> [My client] does well in G and G Dir, but he is almost invisible in G Local.
TIA, Will.

"I appreciate your inquiry, but please go back a reread my post. Specifically my reference to proximity (distance scoring), data source references, verified yp data, on page local data, and consistant local data accross other structured local data content providers."
I glossed over that pp, b/c the only term i really understand in there is "proximity" and i dont see how proximity relates to why these 3 are on top -- would this mean proximity to ME? I am in North Carolina and they are in Tucson, AZ.
Aside from "proximity", i do not understand one word of the rest of these terms:
data source references
verified yp data
on page local data
consistant local data accross other structured local data content providers
I can make wild guesses on a couple of them, but this remains w/o meaning to me. THIS MAY WELL BE THE FULL AND CORRECT ANSWER, i just do not understand any of these terms.
It is NOT your place to do remedial education. I appreciate deeply the time you have taken to answer my question. Now i will try to educate myself on what these terms might mean.
Thanks so much, Will.
verified yp data = Superpages, yellowpages.com (includes smartpages and realpages)
on page local data = is the address of the business on web site? For example, footer is a good place.
consistant local data accross other structured local data content providers = Other major directories or notable sites where this business might be listed with it's address.
added> money's list companies are great examples. one should not stop with these companies alone. each category has many providers from data, to yp, to authoritative local- the best will work to identify and work with all these sources and focus on consistancy, accuracy and comprehensiveness. Especially, for the current Google.

Ever heard of "global dimming?"
Neither had I until I watched "NOVA" on PBS last night.
I thought it might be about the sun running out of gas or something but the science program was actually pointing out that tiny airborne pieces of soot, sulphur and ash along with thin clouds from airplane contrails are reflecting back the heat of the sun. But by allowing less sunlight to reach the Earth, global dimming is cushioning us from the full impact of global warming.Some climatologists are afraid if we try to stop global dimming by cleaning up the atmosphere, the full effects of global "warming" will be unleashed and we could see temperatures rising by up to 10 degrees by the end of the century – twice more than previously thought. Talk about your "catch 22."
Jet contrails. Contributing to global dimming?It's pretty interesting stuff and you can find out more by checking out NOVA's website.
I don't think we'll see bumper stickers that say "Save our Planet..Pollute More" anytime soon but it does give all those people who won't be happy until we're all back on foot or driving some form of hybrid vehicle something to think about.
Besides, I think most of us are a whole lot kinder to our planet now than we used to be anyway.
When is the last time you threw a bag of garbage out of the car?
We never used to give littering a second thought.
Now I won't even toss a gum wrapper on the street and will probably bend over to pick up yours.
I think that public service TV ad in the 70's showing the Indian with a tear in his eye and trash at his feet was pretty effective deterrent. At least it was for me.
Iron Eyes Cody cries over spilt garbage
I used to take old oil, anti-freeze or most any other mystery liquid from the garage and pour it along the fence line or some part of the yard to keep the weeds down.
Not any more since discovering I could be arrested and charged with poisoning the underground water supply.
I no longer buy anything in aerosol cans..even if the propellant is supposedly safe for the ozone.
In fact, I'm thinking about resuming a money-making venture from my youth which will not only give me something to do in my retirement but help planet Earth at the same time.
On a Sunday afternoon in the fifties when my Dad would announce to the family that we were going hunting..it had nothing to do with guns or rabbits or pheasants.
We'd all pile into the car, head for the nearest country road, and go hunting for pop bottles.
My older brother would usually sit outside on the front fender while the rest of us hung out the windows staring into the grass scanning back and forth as Dad slowly drove along the ditch as close as he dared.
Eventually, somebody would yell, "there's one." The old man would hit the brakes, the tires would slide to a stop on the gravel and we'd dart down to retrieve a Coke, 7-UP, Nesbitts or Pepsi bottle that someone had just foolishly thrown away without collecting the deposit.
I don't remember my mother every worrying too much about Denny falling off the fender or any of us getting cut by broken beer bottles or rusty cans.
We were not intentionally trying to do our part for the environment. It was just a whole lot of family fun.
On a good day, we'd wind up with a couple gunny sacks full of empty pop bottles which Teddy at Dahl's Texaco would redeem for two cents each.
Our next stop was in Brookings where we'd spend our windfall on ice cream malts and sundaes.
Now that I think about it, on the way home, I seem to remember tossing the Dairy Queen sack out the car window.

It's Not Easy Being Green
By: Doug Lund
Ever heard of "global dimming?"
Thank You, Carolyn!
By: Doug Lund
One of Sioux Falls most popular eating establishments just won't be the same after next February.
Carolyn Downs, executive director of "The Banquet" for the past 20 years, is retiring.
Keloland's Lou Raguse did a nice story on her the other day but it's hard to sum up the career of a person like Carolyn in a minute and a half..so let me add a few more personal observations.
I met Carolyn Downs for an interview shortly after she took the helm at the Banquet.
My first thought was..she's too nice for a job like this. Dealing with a few drunken winos banging on the Banquet door for breakfast will wipe that smile off her face.
Carolyn DownsI was wrong, of course.
She has proven me wrong about a lot of things in the dozens of interviews that I've done with her since 1987.
I once asked her about those people who lined up outside The Banquet each day for free meals. How can they ever pick themselves out of the gutter if they keep getting stuff handed to them through the generosity of others? You know..the old saying, "give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, TEACH a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime."
Carolyn would always respond with her trademark smile and gentle voice saying, "Doug, you know we're not here to change the world..but to give those who are hungry in our little part of it something good to eat. And when they're here they'll be treated with dignity, respect and love. It's probably the only time and place they'll get it."
"Who knows, she adds, that may be all the incentive some of them need to try improve their lot in life"
"You'll have to come down here sometime, Doug, and see how many children we feed each day."
"You can't say they're responsible for their situation, now can you?"
A few years ago, I did go and see for myself when a group of Keloland employees volunteered to serve breakfast at The Banquet.
Sure enough, there were several kids among those who showed up on that chilly morning for hot pancakes and sausages.
It broke my heart to see but it sure made me glad to know that The Banquet, Carolyn Downs and all the volunteers are there for them every day.
And it's not only food. Carolyn is always organizing some kind of charity drive for her "clients"..from donations of warm clothing..or new school supplies…to toiletry kits for improved hygiene.
Before each meal, flowers are placed on the banquet tables and Carolyn leads the volunteers in a hand-holding prayer followed by her request that everyone spend a little time with the dinner guests and listen to what they have to say.
When there were rumors going around that The Banquet might be closing, I was immediately on the phone to Carolyn for the inside scoop.. When the camera was rolling for our interview, it was the first time I'd ever seen here nervous or in doubt.
She has always had a way of using her smile and gentle persona to get what she needs for the banquet..from food and supplies to volunteers. People just can't say no to her and she wouldn't take no for an answer from them if they did.
But she was going to need a lot of answered prayers, a lot of money and a lot of people saying yes if she was to pull off a plan..not to close..but to move The Banquet several blocks away to a bigger building to handle the growing needs of the homeless and needy.
She need not have worried, the new Banquet at 8th and Indiana has been a big success with nearly 140 thousand of her special "guests" stopping by for dinner in the last year.
In our last interview for KELO, we talked about how Sioux Falls was changing…diversifying. I mentioned my concern that so many of our new residents don't speak the language, don't have jobs and wind up in trouble or on the streets.
"Come on, Doug. Is it really that big a problem?" Carolyn said with a disarming smile.
"I think there is room for us all, Don't you?"
I think I can speak for just about everybody who knows Carolyn Downs that we're awfully glad the Lord made room for this special angel in our town.

OLPC 2 to use dual touch LCDs, ship in 2010
updated 01:45 pm EDT, Tue May 20, 2008
OLPC 2 Early Details
The One Laptop Per Child project plans a radical revision of its notebook that will make it at least as advanced as other PCs, organization head Nicholas Negroponte has revealed today at the OLPC Global Country Workshop. Superficially resembling Nintendo's DS Lite, version 2.0 of the XO will use two touchscreens that adapt to a given context; the design will change keyboard sizes to accommodated older children and adults, and both screens can combine to form a single display used for games and other activities that involve two users at the same time.
Either screen will also use a new version of the XO's signature panels, which are readable in broad daylight, and are designed to be used as two-page e-book readers, Negroponte adds. In spite of the extra screen area, the future OLPC design will also be much smaller, lighter, and easier for children to carry. New processor improvements should also reduce its power consumption to under one watt, although whether the system will continue to use AMD chips or switch to a new platform is unclear.
The OLPC chief anticipates shipping the XO sequel sometime during 2010; in the interim, he also expects the Give 1 Get 1 program from fall 2007, which sold systems to private buyers, to launch again in August or September of this year.

Help:Wiki markup
Redirected from MA:WIKI
this wiki
This page is a tutorial for learning to work with the essential rules of wiki-formatted text, or "wikitext". Wikitext is designed to be as simple as possible so that an article may be quickly typed and styled without having to take a break to type out long HTML codes. The goal is to make it as easy as possible to channel your thoughts into writing the perfect article (or even a not-so-perfect article!).
Text formatting Edit
Creating italicized or bold text is the simplest rule – simply use the apostrophe character in groups of two or three to create the style. (Be sure to use the "straight" apostrophe and not the curved "smart quote" characters used in some text editors and word processors.)
|What you type
|What you see
|''italicized text''
|italicized text
|'''bold text'''
|bold text
|'''''italicized and bold text'''''
|italicized and bold text
To create a tabbed list or a block of text using a monospace font, start the line with a space. (Be sure not to make the line too long, or it will stretch the page horizontally!) Text can also be indented in blockquotes using the colon character.
|What you type
|What you see
Preformatted text
Preformatted text
|:Indented text
Lists Edit
Both unordered and numbered lists are simple to create as well: simply use the asterisk or hash characters at the beginning of a line to create the entry. To create nested lists, simply add an extra asterisk or hash to the front of the line. You can even mix and match the kinds of list in a single group!
To create a definition, start the line with a semicolon, and follow the term to be defined with a colon, then the definition. This will bold the term, and indent the definition on the following line.
|What you type
|What you see
| * Item One
* Item Two
| # Item One
# Item Two
| * Item One
** Item Two
| * Item One
*# Item Two
|; term : definition
Links and URLs Edit
In a wiki, it's important to help build the web by creating links to other articles in every appropriate context. Use the following techniques to create "free links" to other Memory Alpha articles:
|What you type
|What you see
|[[Memory Alpha]]
|Memory Alpha
|[[USS Enterprise|USS ''Enterprise'']]
|USS Enterprise
|[[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)#Crew|USS ''Enterprise'' crew]]

|[[Wikipedia:Star Trek|''Star Trek'']]
|Star Trek

See alsoEdit
Sections Edit
If an article is long enough, you can divide the page into different sections. Memory Alpha will automatically generate a table of contents based on the content for all articles with more than three sections.
You can also create a horizontal divider by using four dashes in a row.
|What you type
|What you see
|== Header two ==

Variables Edit
The MediaWiki software has a number of built-in variables for common elements that may change depending on the date.
NUMBEROFARTICLES is the number of pages in the main namespace which contain a link and are not a redirect (i.e. number of articles, stubs containing a link, and disambiguation pages).
See alsoEdit
Suppressing markup Edit
It's also possible to tell MediaWiki to ignore any of the above rules using a simple tag:

First post on this forum. Hopefully this topic hasn't been butchered to death already!
I recently set up my old road bike with a do it all sort of build. I'm currently running a Forte Titan Rear wheel (Performance brand) and an older Ritchey Front wheel. These are great wheels but I don't want to kill them when I get the urge to fool around on the bike, or when I hit dirt/sketchy pavement.
I've been browsing around for a good, strong "cross" worthy wheelset but haven't found anything really..What wheelsets do you guys run? Mine will need to have 130mm spacing in the rear. I've read a lot about what people use for their slick tires and road rides, but what do you all use for cross or more abusive riding? Thanks.

I picked up a 200ml awhile ago. Today I poured a JDSB and a JD#7 head to head. the old #7 has lots of banana notes, smokey, vanilla, some oak and hints of baking chocolate. the single barrel has a thicker mouth feel, more oak and vanilla. the banana notes are toned down and very faint, with bittersweet chocolate finish.
UPDATE! I called the store back that had the 86 proof JD. The lady I talked to thought she called me back. :skep: She thinks they have some more, but she's not sure where it's at. Part of that reason is that one of the store owners just passed away. She said she'd call me back this week after things have hopefully settled down and gotten back into a more regular routine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :rolleyes:
The 86 White Saloon is (IMO) similar to the Black Label but stronger of course.
I just made a three-JD blend using White Saloon, Silver Select and fairly light-bodied SB. It's about 2:1:1.
I am bringing it to gazebo forthcoming as I think it is outstanding both in taste and pillowy soft texture.
I haven't had JD in years, but I recently saw it on sale and bought a bottle for the heck of it. This thread has me looking forward to trying it.
Well, I got the call, so I had to do my sworn duty. :cool: I was a little surprised that these were liters and not 750's as before. Pics below.
Nice! One of the things I find with JD is that it just tastes better at 86 proof or over. My JD vatting coming to Sampler has 3 JDs in about equal proportions, the 86 proof White Saloon, Silver Select, and a regular Single Barrel. I feel the taste is very good and rich but also that it benefits from the resultant approximately 90 proof.
Well, 90 is the proof that made the brand's reputation.

Court Appointed Special Advocates volunteer Ilene Hacker, right, talks about her experiences and involvement with the program as she sits in the office of Lori Short, left, the director of the program for Washington County.
- Filed Under
St. George resident Ilene Hacker knows what it's like to be an empty-nester - over and over and over again. But her children aren't the ones saying goodbye.
Hacker is a Court Appointed Special Advocate charged with helping the Guardian Ad Litem's attorneys to represent children who are caught up in the turmoil of their family's domestic problems and possibly frightened by very grown-up uncertainties.
Hacker said sometimes she may be providing support to children 3 or 4 years old, then say goodbye to them when their welfare cases close, only to find herself working with older teenagers on her ...
