Under normal circumstances, you don't need to specify positioning for any HTML element, let alone tables
Originally posted by Jay Damon: Bear, would you clarify or expound upon this statement? I agree with you regarding tables but I struggle with various browser positioning issues every day. If there is a way to avoid the struggle, I'd like to know what it is. My experience is that some positioning is required especially if one wants to be cross-browser compatible.

State higher-education officials on Thursday approved tuition and financial flexibility plans submitted by the University of Colorado and other schools.
The plans follow passage of a new law that allows the institutions to raise resident undergraduate tuition up to 9 percent a year. If they wish to raise tuition higher, they must get Colorado Commission on Higher Education approval and show they will ensure lower- and middle-income students can afford to attend.
"This is not a tuition increase. Rather it is a forward- looking plan that considers possible tuition impacts and is heavily dependent on the funding commitment the legislature makes to higher education in Colorado," said Commissioner Greg Stevinson.
CU expects to raise tuition for undergraduate residents no more than 9 percent as long as state funding to the CU system doesn't fall below $158.5 million. But a drop to between $142.8 million and $158.5 million would bump the increase to 9.5 percent, said CU's chief financial officer, Kelly Fox.
"We are moving toward a business model that is more like private education," with students and their families bearing an increasing share of the cost, said University of Northern Colorado president Kay Norton.
UNC's plan calls for average tuition increases of 15 percent in fiscal years 2012 and 2013, 12 percent in 2014 and 9 percent in each of the two following years.
The Colorado Community College System, which serves 47 percent of all minority undergraduate students in the state, would raise tuition no more than 9 percent if the $119 million now expected from the state is received. But if funding fell to $109 million, the bump could be 15.7 percent.
The commission also approved plans for Mesa State, Western State and Adams State colleges. Last month, plans by the Colorado State University System, Metropolitan State College and Fort Lewis College were approved.

The Most Reverend Peter F. Christensen
Tenth Bishop of Superior
|The right half of the
crest is Bishop Peter Christensen's personal arms. His arms are joined
with the arms of the diocese, on the left. Bishop Christensen's coat of
arms pays homage to St. Peter, the first bishop of Rome, and to a lesser
degree, to St. Francis de Sales.
There is also tribute to the Blessed Virgin Mary evidenced in the blue, on the base of the shield. Besides Mary, blue also represents philosophy, symbolic of a bishop's teaching role. Above a depiction of a wave in silver, is the barque (boat) of Peter in gold. Gold represents the first of the heavenly attributes, as well as divine wisdom and the Petrine office. The mast of the boat is in the form of a cross in gold, representing the heroic sacrifice of Christ. This image is particularly significant, since Bishop Christensen was ordained to the episcopacy on the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. The sail of the boat is silver, its fullness representing the fullness of truth that the apostle Peter carried to Rome. The star on the sail is the Star of Mary , with red rays representing the graces that flow from her. Its position near the base of the mast recalls Mary's steadfast presence at the foot of the cross.
On the top, in gold rectangle, is a circlet representing a halo of holiness to which all in the church are called. It consists of eight thorns (black for human sinfulness) tipped in red, the color of Christ's redeeming blood. Here is a reference to the sorrows that pierced the heart of St. Francis de Sales, a saint with whom Bishop Christensen shares a deep spiritual kinship.
Behind the coat of arms is the episcopal cross, with one transverse arm. The crozier on the cross represents St. Peter and the sword St. Paul. The ruby is reminiscent of the martyrdom each saint suffered in witness to Christ.
The left side of the shield displays the arms of the diocese. The three Latin crosses represent the Blessed Trinity. They are topped by fleurs-de-lis and pointed like stakes at the bottom to honor the French missionaries who fIrst brought the faith to the area that would become the Diocese of Superior. The blue wave-like lines evoke the waters of the Great Lake Superior.
The external elements of the shield are composed of the green pilgrim's hat with its six tassels on each side, in three rows. These are the heraldic insignia of a bishop. For his motto, Bishop Christensen selected a text from the Gospel of Matthew 16:16, "Tu es Christus Filius Dei Vivi," "You are the Christ, Son of the Living God."
The barque on the coat of arms was based on a design by Bishop Christensen, who has a background in the graphic arts. Bishop Christensen's crest was designed by James- Charles Noonan, Jr., a well-known church historian and ecclesial heraldist from Gwynedd Valley, Pennsylvania. Linda Nicholson, a craft painter of the Society of Heraldic Arts in England, painted the arms designed by Noonan.

The time has come.
After nearly four months of work 2nd ACT Community Theater takes to the stage for three nights of Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park," starting tonight.
I have a vested interest in this because I got roped into playing one of the lead roles.
After every run through I'm physically and mentally exhausted, and I know the role opposite of me is the same way.
This is a good thing, because it shows that a lot of hard work went into the play, plus it's a roller coaster of emotions for the characters.
This translates to a great show for the audience.
Tickets are still available, in advance only at the Arts Center, or by calling 251-2496.
Tickets are $20 for Arts Center members and $20 for others — that includes a lasagna dinner. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. with the show at 7 p.m at the Quality Inn & Suites.
Plus there's a cash bar, so patrons of the arts can get a little loosened up before watching me on stage. I recommend this course of action.
Last night we had a full dress rehearsal with some quests in the audience and they laughed at our shenanigans — this is good.
I've interviewed many important people during my short time as a news reporter — but nothing nearly as nerve wracking as taking to the stage to entertain as a newcomer, joining a talented group of actors.
I hope to see you all there.

Product description
Limited Edition of 500.
A Kotobukiya Japanese import! Often found leading Empirical squads to the front lines or coordinating the suppression of outer rim uprisings, Stormtrooper Commanders are distinguishable from their subordinates by the deep blue markings imprinted on their white armor. Aside from the obvious benefit of being encased in a plastoid-composite suit these officers are also issued personal energy shields, capable of deflecting blaster fire and other battlefield hazards. Selected for their tactical prowess, Stormtrooper Commanders proved to be a formidable adversary and constant thorn in Galen Marek's journey during The Force Unleashed Expanded Universe storyline.
Included in every Stormtrooper Commander set are two complete statues, each authentically replicated with exacting attention to detail. Both troopers also come with additional interchangeable parts and weapons giving you the flexibility to select from a multitude of uniquely different posing combinations (more than 18 recommended poses). As an added feature and like other ArtFx+ releases, magnets are embedded in the feet to allow for effortless display on the supplied bases.
Star Wars ArtFx+ statues bring you all of the quality and hyper-realistic styling that you expect from an ArtFx release, just in a smaller scale. These fun-to-assemble pre-painted snap-fit kits can be easily put together in seconds without glue or modeling skill, up to 18 different recommended poses! The Stormtrooper Commanders stand nearly 8 inches tall in 1/10th scale and are the perfect addition to a garrison of ArtFx+ Stormtroopers!

Story in the School of Engineering
Alex Fischer '10
Mechanical Engineering major
Mechanical engineering students create the future of vending machines: sustainable, innovative, and cool.
The assignment for Associate Professor Christopher Kitts' new class, Smart Product Design (MECH/ENGR 144) was intended to get students to think outside the box—or the vending machine, in this case. Working in interdisciplinary teams, students designed smart vending machines last quarter that were technically innovative, cost effective, sustainable, and impacted the customer and society in a positive way.
The Eco Dispenser was the brainchild of senior Michael Calcagno, senior Nick Greos, and Colby Moore '10. Their machine was designed to both dispense reusable water bottles and the reusable, sustainable take-out box alternative Eco-Trays currently being used by SCU. It can also receive dirty trays and bottles for cleaning, saving the University thousands of dollars each year in disposable plates and take-out boxes, and shrinking the University's carbon footprint, according to Greos.
Another team designed a machine with multiple payment options where the consumer could purchase a snack, beverage, and hot entrée with "one-stop shopping." "This class taught me a lot about myself as an engineer," said senior Alex Fischer. "I learned so much about machine design and project management, and I got to sharpen my presentation skills.
There is a stereotype about engineers," he continued, "that we can crunch numbers but can't interact with human beings; this class helped me develop my comfort level presenting our idea to the industry professionals Professor Kitts brought in." Senior Harmanjit Sekhon, appreciated learning about the business side of engineering a smart product. "Thinking about how the product should be marketed and considering shareholders' input was a new experience," he said.
While the students all agreed they learned a lot and had some serious fun along the way interacting with their grad school "shareholders," Alex Granieri '10 commented on the number of hours they spent on their design, saying the course should come with a disclaimer: "sleep will not be had." "True," said Sekhon, "but the time paid off!"

Syndicated Loan Market Commentary 09/01/2010 0 commentsSep 1, 2010 5:59 PMOvernight China's manufacturing numbers showed improvement which helped get equities started off on the right foot. China's August PMI jumped to 51.7 from 51.2 in July. Futures pointed to a higher open and the LCDX 14 was quoted at 94 15/16 – 95 3/16 (+3/16). With double dip fears suppressed globally the Aug ADP number, which showed a loss of 10k jobs, was viewed as a non-event. At 10am the US August ISM numbers hit the wire and unexpectedly rose, pushing equities even higher. August ISM Manufacturing came in at 56.3, up from 55.5 in July and 3.3 points higher that expected. Its funny what a couple of strong data points can do to a market. After the morning rally things were flat and the Dow and S&P 500 closed at 10,269.47 (+2.54%) and 1,078.15 (+2.75%) respectively.The loan market took its cues from equities and was well bid. High quality names firmed anywhere from a quarter to half of a point. Off the run paper was up a quarter. Trading was the most active it has been in a while as the positive ISM manufacturing numbers out of both the US and China gave investors the push they needed to get involved. While trading was largely situational, the pick up in activity made it easier to get stuff done. The LCDX 14 was active and closed at 95 1/4-95 1/2 (+5/8). Tomorrow we get the initial jobless claims number, July pending homes sales and factory orders in the morning, which will set the pace of the day. The pre-market jobs number will be the big morning headline and is expected to come in at 475K, so let's hope its not much lower than that. But, the 10 a.m. numbers will move markets, so let's hope that factory orders number can impress; maybe like today, the market will ignore jobs. Have a good night.Back To Loan Trader's Instablog HomePage »

When Roncalli's Brett Giesen medaled at State this season, he gave the Jets a medalist for the sixth-consecutive year.
- Filed Under
Coming into the season, the Roncalli prep boys tennis team needed to have an individual or doubles team make the medal stand at the WIAA State Tennis Tournament in order to extend its record of consecutive years with a medalist. Junior Brett Giesen proved to be the man for the job.
Giesen, this year's HTR Media Boys Tennis Player of the Year, was the only Manitowoc County player to advance to State as he went 2-2 at the tournament to earn a sixth-place finish and give the Jets their sixth straight season with a medalist.
Giesen was a No. 5 seed in the tournament and entered with the area's best singles ...

Newark Police Chief David Christler told honorees at the seventh annual Academic Excellence Dinner Nov. 6 how important it is to be preparing in high school for a career they are passionate about.
Newark Police Chief David Christler told honorees at the seventh annual Academic Excellence Dinner Nov. 6 how important it is to be preparing in high school for a career they are passionate about.
The 1966 NHS graduate told the students being recognized in grades 10, 11, and 12 who earned an average of 90 or better during each quarter last year that since a job is something they will eventually do everyday, it is best to have one they really enjoy.
"To have a fulfilling and successful career, you must have a passion for what you do," Christler told guests assembled in the Newark High School cafeteria that had been festively decorated for fall. "It is often said, 'A person in love with what he does will never work a day in their life,.' If you have a passion for something, turn that passion into a labor of love."
But he also cautioned that deciding on a career could be the hardest thing a student does in high school.
"Finding your direction is the single most difficult thing you will do," Christler said. "For me it didn't happen overnight, but few things do. The objective is to find a match, strike your plan, and go for it."
In their quest to decide on a career, he told students it might be as simple as looking at their hobbies or consider what they like doing in their free time and then exploring careers that encompass those things that make them happy.
"Career opportunities are endless so don't be shy in asking your parents, friends, teachers or going online for help," Christler said
While his career path had its share of twists and turns, it initially was not his intent to pursue a career in law enforcement.
A Newark native, Christler attended first through eighth grades at St. Michael's School and then attended Newark High School. After graduating, he attended RIT, participating in an "Earn While You Learn" program. Taking courses at RIT half of each day, he spent the other half becoming a trained machinist at General Dynamics in Rochester.
In college during the Vietnam War, he enlisted in the Army where he spent three years including a tour of duty in Vietnam and being in the Pathfinder program when he returned to Fort Benning.
Ultimately it was his love for the outdoors, his military service and strong desire to help people that caused him to decide which educational path to follow.
So he enrolled in the then Police Science program at Monroe Community College after he was discharged from the Army. He had planned to continue his education after MCC at SUNY Brockport, but received an appointment to the State Police Academy.
What followed was a distinguished 32-year-career that culminated in 2005 when he retired as the Deputy Superintendent of the New York State Police — the third highest position in the law enforcement agency.
Page 2 of 3 - Two years earlier, Christler received the United States Attorney General's Award for Outstanding Contributions to Community Partnerships for Public Safety. Presented by then Attorney General John Ashcroft, the award was given in recognition of his work with the National Infrastructure Protection Committee Emergency Law Enforcement Sector.
Christler, who wanted to continue in law enforcement work after his retirement from the State Police, has served as Chief of the Newark Police Department since 2008.
He and his wife, Diane, who reside in Newark raised two daughters who attended and graduated from Newark High School. Amy is a graduate of Northeastern University's Law School and currently is an attorney for the Social Security Administration while Lauren is studying abroad in Amsterdam through SUNY ESF in Syracuse as she completes her degree in Landscape Architecture.
Christler also told honorees at the dinner it isn't just knowing what you really want to do and getting a good education that enables a person to be a success.
"Passion and education are only two of the many pieces to this puzzle,'' he said, "Something we often overlook in life is how we are perceived by others, and how that impacts on our ability to succeed during school and beyond. More people than you will ever know will notice a strong work ethic developed early in your life. These same people will be writing letters of recommendation, reviewing your resume for appointment or looking at you for advancement. Always do your best work, be on time and be responsible. The right people will notice."
Christler said having a strong work ethic is key to developing a great reputation which is so important.
"The characteristics that establish a person's reputation are important to both their personal life as well as their professional life,'' he said.
He said components of a good reputation include being trustworthy, honest, demonstrating moral and ethical behavior; and finally being kind and compassionate.
"You will find as you grow older how important being kind and compassionate is,'' he said. "People that are kind have a much larger network of friends and are more satisfied in life. Always remember, friends are our most important resource. Be a good one."
Christler congratulated all the student honorees on their accomplishments and told them if they ever needed his help or for him to be a resource to assist them in planning for their future not to hesitate to call him.
Dinner guests included Superintendent Henry Hann, NHS Principal Kevin Whitaker; Assistant Principal Nick Ganster; Board of Education President Yvonne MacTaggart and Board members Roberta Colacino, Susie Earl and Tom Ledbetter; teachers, students and other district staff attending and serving at the dinner affirmed Christler's sentiments with hearty applause.
After Christler spoke, Whitaker commended the NHS students on their academic achievements and also their parents, for the role they have played in their childrens' success.
Page 3 of 3 - Then he and Ganster presented students with certificates of recognition for their academic achievement. In all, 74 students met the academic requirements for the award, but not all were able to attend.
A highlight of fall at NHS, the Academic Excellence Dinner not only recognizes academic achievement, but also reflects the hard work and generosity "of our co-workers at the High School for their time, talent and treasure," said Kathleen Tanea, chair of the NHS Rewards and Incentives Committee that hosts the annual dinner.
"This year our staff sponsored student dinners, made financial donations, helped decorate and serve,'' she said.
Danielle McGavisk, Elaine Esan, Jan Fellenz, Jean Bendix, Barb Mikler-Crandon, Mark DeYoung, Shane Surek and Nick Amatulli were the servers at the dinner.
Students who had been recognized for two or more consecutive years at the Academic Awards dinner also received a winter sports pass that will allow them to attend all winter sporting events for free, Tanea said.
Also, a student from each of the three grade levels being recognized, whose name was drawn, won a candy wreath made by NHS Reds Wagon Catering and Crafts.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, winner of a league-record four Associated Press MVP awards, eventually could be remembered as the greatest NFL quarterback of all time.
To get there, however, he needs to win at least one more Super Bowl. Maybe two.
And as Dan Marino learned 25 years ago, getting to a Super Bowl brings with it no guarantee of a return visit.
So whenever Manning gets within sniffing distance of a Lombardi Trophy, he needs to get his fingerprints on it. Otherwise, he'll land in that vaguely-defined group of four or five guys who each can make a claim to being the best ever.
Currently, pro football history has three distinct groups of all-time great quarterbacks, with minimal overlap. In one camp resides the winners of three or more championships — Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Troy Aikman, and Tom Brady. Then there are the men with one title or fewer who generated gaudy stats — Brett Favre, Fran Tarkenton, Warren Moon, and Manning. Finally, we have the pre-Super Bowl era greats, none of whom has the kind of career stats that stack up to the numbers generated by the guys who benefited from the '70s-era rules changes that opened up the passing game — John Unitas, Otto Graham, Sid Luckman, and Sammy Baugh.
John Elway, with two Super Bowl wins and top-five all-time stats, currently is the only guy who has earned a spot in the two most prominent categories. With another Super Bowl win, Manning would match Elway in total titles. Already, Manning is right on Elway's heels when it comes to the career passing numbers, and he'll easily surpass him.
At a minimum, then, Manning needs that second ring to separate from the career statistical leaders, and he arguably needs a third in order to fully break into the Marino/Bradshaw/Aikman/Brady ranks.
Manning, a well-known student of the history of the game, surely knows it.
That's why the Colts are generating a vibe that suggests they're here for one reason, and that success is not defined by merely making it to the championship game. (The Saints, on the other hand, seem to be somewhat content to regard the season as an overwhelming success based simply on qualifying for the Super Bowl.)
Even with the injury to defensive end Dwight Freeney, which could allow the Saints to send tight ends and running backs who otherwise would be chipping Freeney into the pass patterns, the key man for the Colts is Manning.
He has proven it throughout the season, as the one constant amid a sea of change that at times threatened to become turmoil. Even with a new head coach, a new defensive coordinator, a new special teams coordinator, the retirement and return of offensive coordinator Tom Moore and offensive line coach Howard Mudd, the departure of receiver Marvin Harrison, the multiple injuries to safety Bob Sanders, and the lack of a threatening running game, Manning has carried the franchise to one of the greatest single seasons the league ever has seen.
Arguably, his performance this year bolsters the notion that he's the greatest ever, even if he never wins another title. But in a sport where the concept of immortality ultimately is driven by the number of rings a player possesses, Manning needs more than one in order to be regarded as the one who stands above all others.
He stands one victory away from number two. He appreciates the effort required to get to that point, and he realizes the rarity of simply playing for a Lombardi Trophy.
And Manning likewise realizes there is no consensus as to the greatest quarterback of all time. Given he's on pace to break all of Brett Favre's records (except career interceptions), Manning will thrust himself into the top of the conversation with another Super Bowl win.
With two more, it'll be a no-brainer — Manning will be regarded as the best of all time.
To get to No. 3, he needs No. 2. And he'll do absolutely everything he can to get there.

Apologies if this has already been discussed:
Ford has released a new update in April of this year (previous update was october 2011) for Ford stereo's to fix the following issues:
- Playback of music files via the USB stick
- Connection stability of iPod/iPhone devices
- Connection stability for Bluetooth, telephony and music streaming via Bluetooth
- Compatibility of mobile phones
Personally I hope this will solve the common problem with Bluetooth not pairing when you start the engine. Normally have to turn the stereo on without the car and wait for it to pair - then turn on the engine. THIS UPDATE WILL NOT WORK IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A USB PORT. Please ask your local ford dealer to update your stereo instead.
1). Download files:- http://www.ford-mobi...udio_update.zip
2). Extract all files into ROOT directory of USB stick. Root directory meaning it is directly placed onto the USB stick - not in a folder!
3). Go to car, turn on stereo using the on/off button. Do not turn ignition on at all.
4). Once stereo is on plug in the USB stick.
5). Turn the ignition on but not the engine.
6). Stereo will now start updating.
7). Wait 15-20 mins.... You should now see "update finished" and the stereo will resume normal operations.
8). You may need to turn stereo on/off and/or debond and pair bluetooth devices.
Update applies to:
Fiesta: July 2008 - December 2011
Focus: February 2008 - January 2012
C-MAX: February 2008 - January 2012
Kuga: February 2008 - January 2012
Mondeo: September 2008 - January 2012
S-MAX: September 2008 - January 2012
Galaxy: September 2008 - January 2012
Transit: from June 2009
Ranger: from April 2009
Haven't had a chance to test the update properly as I am at work, however I will let you know if the BT bonds with my phone first time when I start the engine.
Fingers crossed!

Housing Affordability Index: Still Worthless
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On July 2, 2013 @ 8:00 am In Credit,Real Estate,Really, really bad calls | Comments Disabled
In the past, we have discussed how worthless the NAR's Housing Affordability Index [1] is. This weekend saw an odd column in Barron's that was suckered in by the silliness of that index.
This suggests to me it is time to take another pass showing exactly why this index has so little value to anyone tracking housing values and affordability. let's begin by going back to our 2008 analysis:
"The index as presently constructed is utterly worthless. It provides little or no insight into how affordable US Housing actually is. Further, what is omitted from the index is especially relevant to the problems occurring in the housing market today. The Index fails to account for — or even recognize — any of the out of the ordinary circumstances that are currently bedeviling the Housing market."
That's not the worst of it — during the huge run up from 2001-2007, there was but one month — ONLY ONE MONTH! — where the NAR said homes were no affordable!
Only One Month When NAR Said Homes Were Not Affordable
With that absurdity established, let's look at what The Sunny Side of Higher Interest Rates [3] had to say. Not surprisingly, base don this silly index, they concluded that homes are still very affordable:
"Despite alarms in the media about the crushing effects of the recent jump in interest rates, rates are still on the low side of normal, even when considered against the U.S. economy's lackluster performance.
Start with the rise in the 30-year mortgage rate, to 4.56% from 3.74% a month ago. The hike still puts the housing affordability index at a historically high level, meaning single-family houses are still quite attainable (see chart below).
Let's delve a little deeper into what does and does not go into the Home Affordability Index. According to the NAR [5]:
Calculation assumes 20% down payment at current mortgage rates assuming a qualifying income ratio of 25% for PI; no assessment of buyer credit worthiness or total DTI or cash on hand.
So it assumes a down payment. The reality is that about 44% of those homeowners with mortgages have little equity, no equity or negative equity, according to Zillow [6]. This is much higher than historical averages, thus putting this assumption at risk
Hence, this key distinction gets ignored by the NAR in the the way they frame the question and make erroneous assumptions. The issue is not whether homes are affordable, but rather "Can American families afford homes?"
As we have seen, not especially. Indeed, the buyers of many of the properties in recent quarters have not been families, but rather, huge pools of private equity, whose business model seems to be Buy-to-Rent-to-Flip. At the Pew Conference on Housing [7] in DC last summer, attendees [8] at Sheila Bair's event [9] estimated this pool of PE money was north of $25 billion dollars.
To show you just how ridiculous this datapoint is, let's take a closer look at the series.
Here is the 10 Year Housing Affordability Index:
When Housing Was and Was Not Affordable
Looking even longer term — 1989 to present – shows just how absurd the index is:
1989 followed a series of rate cuts after 1987 crash. In NYC, if you bought a home then,m you did not get back to break even in the value to ~1996. Bu the home was affordable, just not a good intermediate term investment. And, this was in the midst of an 18 year bull market, with relatively plentiful jobs and credit availability. Same Unaffordable rating for 2006 with very different circumstances.
Should the NAR HAI be renamed? It seems to be better suited to telling you if a house is a good investment than if its affordable!
I still do not take the NAR's Housing Affordability Index very seriously . . .

Remember Me
Now 2 years young, this 4-piece has been described as a sort of reggae-funk-jam fusion, alternating between periods of technical precision and psychedelic improve. The Sounds strive to bring new ideas and unconventional approaches to reggae music; they do this while incorporating a strong female vocal and mindful informed lyrics.
In 2010, their self-titled record was voted #1 debut album by WXPN.org's The Key, and in 2011 the Underwater Sounds were nominated for 2 Asbury Park music awards, Best Groove Band and Top Female Vocalist.
Now, the band delivers it's sophomore full length album, Que Se Queda (That Which Remains), due for release in early 2012. Engineered and produced by Daoud Shaw (Van Morrison, Saturday Night Live, the Jerry Garcia Band) in Philadelphia, PA, the album is an ambitious effort--a sweeping variety of grooves laid over unusual rythyms, topped with captivating melodies.
The band has remained DIY in their efforts so far, booking several northeast tours for themselves and receiving opportunities to perform alongside the likes of such greats as The Slackers, Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Orgone, The English Beat, The Budos Band, The Heavy Pets, Particle, Leon Mobley Consider the Source, Splintered Sunlight, the Fear Nuttin Band, and Portugal the Man. They have played at such well-known venues as the World Cafe Live, the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, the TLA, the Stone Pony, the Sherman Theater, Some Kind of Jam 6, and Stir Fry Music Revival 3.
"A blend of unique, catchy, and relative," their sound "can take them anywhere...at times beautiful, at other times angry, but mostly heavily invested in every emotion," the Underwater Sounds are eager to stay on the road and keep creating conscious music.

WARRIORS fans who braved the M6 traffic and the wretched weather saw a glimpse of the future at Sale Sharks' AJ Bell Stadium.
Looking down the team sheet prior to kick-off, it was clear both directors of rugby were using the fixture as an opportunity to blood a host of youngsters.
However, with Sale going into the LV= Cup contest with a much more realistic hope of pool qualification, their power-packed bench was always likely to decide the outcome.
And so it proved. Worcester's band of up-and-coming hopefuls battled gamely for an hour of the contest, but when Steve Diamond introduced the likes of Aviva Premiership powerhouses Eifion Lewis-Roberts, James Gaskell and Andrei Ostrikov, not to mention the mercurial Danny Cipriani, there was only going to be one winner.
The Sharks clamped an iron fist around the final 20 minutes and wrapped up victory convincingly to leave them in with a shout of qualifying for the semi-finals.
However, the defeat – coupled with Bath's bonus-point win over Cardiff Blues – ensured the West Country side would progress from Pool Three at Worcester's expense.
Deep down, though, that would have been an irrelevance for Dean Ryan, who has seen the two cup competitions as very much a breeding ground for the young Sixways talent that will be central to his plans to lift the club out of the doldrums.
Promoted stories
It was exciting to have a look at some of these prospects in action in senior rugby for the first time, but it was always going to be a case of 'in at the deep end'.
The main talking-point for Worcester fans pre-match was how Elliott Davies would fare on his debut at fly-half.
The Gloucester-born former Bromsgrove School pupil was understandably nervous and shaky to begin with and his kicking out of hand – albeit in dreadful conditions – was nothing to write home about.
However, he grew in confidence as the game went on and was at ease bossing a pack containing gnarled veterans such as Dean Schofield and Chris Jones around the field.
The experience will serve him well, but it seems that the currently-injured Tiff Eden, another fly-half prospect in the academy, is the one Ryan and Co are eager to pin their play-making hopes upon.
The much talked-about trio of Jack Cosgrove, Andrew Boyce and George de Cothi also featured in the second-half and Ryan rates them all highly.
However, for me, the most eye-catching academy product on display was towering lock Christian Scotland-Williamson.
The strapping second row still has exams to finish at Loughborough University, but has been signed to an academy contract for next year, such is the excitement about his potential at Sixways.
At Sale, he pushed engine room partner Dean Schofield hard for the man-of-the-match vote following an all-action display.
He is very much in the mould of the modern-day second row – tall, strong, athletic and able to cover every blade of grass.
Yes, he still has plenty of work to do, but seeing him in action against the Sharks was reminiscent of when a young Courtney Lawes was making his first strides in the professional game.
At a glance:
4m: Ford pen 3-0
41m: Ford pen 6-0
51m: Davies pen 6-3
57m: Easter try 11-3
58m: Ford con 13-3

72m: Ingall try 18-6

Last week Christian publishing powerhouse Thomas Nelson announced that they were transforming their former Westbow imprint into Westbow Press, an arm of the company devoted to helping authors self-publish their works.
CEO Michael Hyatt stated on his blog that there are three reasons why his company decided to do this:
1) They think there is a huge growth potential in this category
2) They want to offer a legitimate alternative to traditional publishing
3) They want to find new voices for tomorrow, to use the imprint as a sort of "farm team" for their regular publishing process.
Now, I can certainly understand reason number one. Hyatt is correct – there IS a huge potential for growth in this category and that translates very simply as a huge potential for TN to pocket quite a bit of money as a result. After all, there has to be a reason why companies such as Createspace, Lulu, and iUniverse are going gangbusters year after year.
I stumble a bit, however, when trying to understand reasons number two and three.
Reason #2 states that they want to offer a legitimate alternative to traditional publishing. My question is why? Westbow seemed to be doing just fine as an imprint. Back in March 2005, Publishers Weekly had this to say about the line:
"Thomas Nelson's WestBow imprint is quickly gaining a reputation for publishing more innovative CBA fiction. Launched in late 2003, WestBow's intention from the start was to raise the bar. "Our primary goal isn't 'edgy' fiction but stories with a real, authentic voice that are entertaining, culturally relevant, and God honoring," said publisher and industry veteran Allen Arnold. "When we find those voices, we don't shy away from the edgy elements—or sugarcoat them."
As Lindsey Nobles, Communications Director with TN correctly points out in the comments below, the Westbow imprint was discontinued in 2006, but clearly, in their market space, they were doing something well. I'm not personally a fan of much Christian fiction (not because I don't think there is a real need for it, which I do, but because too much is just sugarcoated bs that only serves to make those who think they are "in" feel better about themselves rather than truly trying to preach the gospel to those who might need it – but that's an argument for another day) but Westbow raised the bar in my view. In fact, some of my friends have been published by Westbow – Eric Wilson's Jerusalem's Undead series and Tony Hines' marvelous Waking Lazarus are prime examples. Never mind Ted Dekker, probably one of the biggest names in Christian publishing today.
So if the current imprint is successful, why make the change?
Which brings me to reason #3: because they want to find "new voices for tomorrow." I find this to be the most ludicrous statement of all. Hyatt notes that his company is publishing close to 500 books per year and that a lot of those authors that submit to TN simply don't make the cut. Fine, that's how publishing works. But a farm team implies that Thomas Nelson will somehow be investing in these authors, training them and improving their skills to give them a shot at the big leagues, and I don't see that happening in any way, shape, or form simply by taking their money and printing their books.
Hyatt even comments that he wants to provide a place where authors can publish without getting "ripped off." Okay, great. That's really nice of him. Complaints have been surfacing for years about companies like Xlibris and iUniverse ripping off authors and keeping that from happening is a good thing in anyone's book What I'm trying to figure out is how TN hopes to do this when the company they partnered with to create this self-publishing line, Author Solutions Inc, owns the companies I just mentioned?
I won't even get into the potential for problems raised by the idea that traditional TN editors might reject a manuscript, only to turn around and say something like "Gee, this isn't good enough for us, but maybe you should think about publishing with Westbow Press? After all, they're our farm team. And you'll be published by the same company that published Ted Dekker…" I'm not saying they will do that, in fact, I would bet they would go out of their way to avoid that kind of blurring of the lines, but they have to realize that the perception of a problem is sometimes as difficult as having the problem in the first place.
It dismays me to see this blurring of the lines from a company that I have formerly respected a great deal, never mind having it coached in this fashion to try and make it more palpable to the industry in general.
Is this a sign of what the future holds for the industry in general?
I hope not.

This restaurant's recipes have been passed down over several generations—the house specialty is the superb and inexpensive sansai-ryori, time-honored mountain cuisine. Suzuya is in a traditional Hida-style house, and the wood-beamed dining room has an intimate feel. There's an English menu, and the staff is used to serving foreign guests. From the station, turn onto Kokubunji-dori and take a right after five blocks. Lunch is served until 3 pm, and dinner begins at 5. Try to go during off-hours to avoid tour groups.

(Huff/Post50 is celebrating Grandparents Day, September 9, with a series of special stories and essays. Jean Reagan is the author of "How to Babysit a Grandpa.")
Celebrate Grandparents Day by sharing a book with a child. Or a stack of books!
What's so grand about grandparents, anyway?
Grandparents as pinch-hitters often offer the grandchild a fresh, more relaxed love than most parents can manage 24/7. The challenge of parenting a child while juggling work, community, partners and perhaps school can be overwhelming. But grandparenting is parenting with a "do-over" option. Grandparents usually have full adult lives behind them. Grandparents know it doesn't pay to sweat the small stuff, so their love can be easy-going.
Grandparents enjoy a more peaceful stage of life, allowing them the time and energy to be more playful with their grandkids. Authority and power between the child and grandparent is less defined, less one-sided, creating a more equal, playful relationship. Grandkids help the grandparents recapture their younger years, both the delights of childhood and the wonder of becoming a parent.
Grandparents are often the first window that expands a child's vision beyond the immediate nuclear family. Grandparents create an organic connection to the past which may offer the traditions of a rural life or a different culture or just an earlier time. Through family stories, children savor and preserve these roots. And through family stories, children can even imagine their own parents as children. That's mind expanding, for sure.
Grand folks, of course, need not be blood relatives to serve as grandparents. Growing up in Japan, I saw my grandparents only every five years; yet I had a slew of neighborhood grandparents we all called "Obaachan" (Grandma) and "Ojiichan" (Grandpa). Children thrive from the love and attention of a multitude of stand-in grandparents. Joyfully for us, this love and attention is reciprocated.
What's so grand about grandparents? They expand the grandchild's world of love and belonging. In return, the grandparent is reintroduced to the wonder of childhood and the rewards of parenting.
My dad was definitely one of the inspirations for this book. Watching my dad play with my kids gave me lots of ideas, but I also asked other kids, grandkids, grandparents and parents, "What do you enjoy doing with your grandpa?" This "research" created a long, long list. Of course, there wasn't room for everything, so I chose my favorites and wrote "How To Babysit A Grandpa" (Alfred A. Knopf) around these activities.
Each summer I volunteer as a wilderness ranger on a lake in the Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. I welcome back families who stay at the same campsites year after year. Campers who brought their children now bring their grandchildren. I've even heard stories of long-ago grandparents who honeymooned in the park in the 1920s. As I canoe by the lakeshore campsites, I watch grandparents envelope kids with relaxed, playful, expansive love, and I witness that love radiated back. That is what's so grand about grandparents.
When you grab that stack of books to share with a child, you may want to try some of my favorite grandparent books -- classics and newbies, but all beautifully illustrated. And remember: don't let a narrow definition of grandparent slow you down. As a non-grandparent myself, I don't!
Wilbur, a naked mole rat, breaks tradition by donning clothes to the horror of his family and community. Finally the "Grand-pah" settles the matter by donning clothes himself.
When Mona visits Grandma in her Palestinian village, they can only communicate through gestures and smiles or when her father translates. Despite this challenge they enjoy a bond that continues when Mona returns to the U.S.
An exuberant girl describes a day spent with grandma and grandpa that ends and begins at the kitchen window which also playfully enables "everything important."
A Navajo boy hears once again his birth story from Grandfather as they sit around a cozy campfire. Grandfather reassures him of his power to survive and prevail, despite his blindness.
A delightful story of a girl telling her toddler brother about all the fun awaiting them at Grandma and Grandpa's house. The anticipation builds and nearly leaps right out of the book.
On Saturdays the child visits her grandparents from a European ancestry and on Sundays she visits her Mexican-American grandparents. The story culminates with a joint birthday celebration.
A stand-in grandmother, who is technically the child narrator's great aunt, is also known as The Lupine Lady. She beautifies their world by scattering lupine seeds and implores the children to "make the world more beautiful."
Allen Say tells the story of his grandfather's journey to the US and his subsequent return to Japan. Say, too, shares his grandfather's love for both countries.
Babushka helps Patricia overcome her fear of thunder when she was a child by rustling up all the ingredients to bake Thunder Cake before the thunder arrives.
Suhaila is magically swept away to the moon by her grandmother she has only known from her mother's stories. When Suhaila returns from the dream, she says, "Mama, I met her!"
When Eli is born and then when his little sister is born, the grandparents hold them up to the open window to show them "all the places to love" are right here on this family farm with sweeping meadows far below.

Sony's PlayStation Home gets cellphone hook, more
updated 03:55 pm EDT, Wed July 11, 2007
PlayStation Home Mobile
Sony today added a new social networking element to its still in development PlayStation Home service, extending the normally PS3-only service both to cellphones and the web. Owners of Sony-Ericsson phones such as the W880 will see an extra feature in their crossbar interface that lets them upload photos and other content to their personal spaces in the 3D world, appearing as portraits. A social networking website will join up with this feature to let users browse these visuals (including captures of the space itself) and chat from any computer.
Other additions are coming as well that will make Home more immediately useful for gamers, Sony adds. Users will no longer have to back out of Home to play a game and can load any Blu-Ray or downloadable game directly from a pop-up menu. SingStar games in particular can play directly from Home itself. Casual gaming will also be easy to access with the main lobby containing multiple easy-play games that can be played without interruption.
No changes have been made to Home's launch schedule, which still has the community service exiting beta in the fall.

Always cutting with the wire.
I know that My Life is always For Hire.
Fenced up to keep in whatever,
on a post, it seems to be the most.
I find the pointed barb
and place it above my wrist,
Repeatly go over in one place that fits.
Not too deep, but enough for me
to survive awhile (I hope).
It's like having someone else
to hold the knife,
on the occasion that the person
making me cut,
holds the wire tight,
ready and unknowing.
If they knew,
they'd want to change,
but for some strange reason,
I like this pain.

Shereef Akeel of Rochester Hills works in his Troy law office. He has devoted much of the past 9 years to representing Abu Ghraib detainees.
A Troy lawyer may have lost his last, best chance to bring detainees from Iraq's now-infamous Abu Ghraib prison into an American courtroom seeking justice, with a federal judge dismissing his clients' remaining claims this week.
He is promising to appeal the ruling, however.
As the Free Press reported in May, Shereef Akeel has devoted much of the last decade trying to get a case before a court to compensate detainees for alleged abuses at the notorious prison while it was controlled by a U.S.-led multinational force in 2003 and 2004. ...

In assessing how their first council with Native Americans west of the Mississippi went, Lewis and Clark had accomplished their objectives:
"Handing out medals engraved with Jefferson's likeness, passing out American flags and certificates of friendship, exchanging gifts, a 'magic show' including a magnifying glass, compass, airgun and a military show of force all became part of the program Lewis and Clark used in other councils along the way," writes Jay H. Buckley, an assistant professor of history and director of the Native American Studies Program at Brigham Young University.
Pvt. Moses B. Reed announces that he has left his knife behind at the last campsite and goes back to get it. Clark notes that Reed has not returned. That makes two members of the expedition who are missing. Engagé Joseph La Liberte disappeared July 29 when he was sent to find the Otos to invite them for a parley.

If Bui survives California prison life, he'll spend his twenties, thirties, forties and the majority of his fifties locked in a tiny, malodorous cell with other male criminals. The soonest he can hope that a parole board grants him freedom is 2042. He'll be 58. Super Nintendo will be a relic.
But Bui doesn't seem destined to impress a parole board. Before he was sent to prison, he helped instigate a riot in the Orange County Jail, repeatedly flouted prisoner rules and was found in his cell with Pruno, the foul-tasting alcohol beverage concocted by inmates with aged fruit, ketchup, bread and sugar.

For more than a year now the Pew Research Centers's Internet & American Life Project has been tracking the adoption of health apps by adults in the US. In September 2010 Pew found that about 9 percent of all adult mobile phone users in the US had downloaded an app that "helped them track or manage their health." In its most recent survey in August 2011 Pew found that about 11 percent of all adult cell phone users having downloaded an app that helps them manage their health. While that is a slight increase over last year's number, Pew characterized it as "a statistically insignificant difference." App adoption, therefore, has been largely stagnant over the past 12 months.
Pew writes that "health apps" include those that capture "a wide range of software applications, from those that count calories and help manage an exercise routine, to more advanced apps that monitor vital signs and help individuals manage serious health conditions."
The survey conducted this past August, however, was conducted a bit differently: "In August 2011, the question was asked of adults who have downloaded an app to a cell phone or tablet computer, rather than all cell phone users. More than a quarter of this population (29 percent) report downloading a health app. Looking just at adults who download apps to a cell phone, this translates to 11 percent of all adult cell phone users having downloaded an app that helps them manage their health, a statistically insignificant difference from the 9 percent of adult cell users who reported having a mobile health app in September 2010," Pew writes.
Pew also found that the new survey results show little change among health app adoption rates among different racial/ethnic groups.
Be sure to check out Pew's entire report, which focuses on overall cell phone and apps adoption — not just for health. Full report freely available here.

November 26, 2015
A grand jury will consider the case against a man charged in a Letcher County crash that killed a woman and her unborn child. Police say the driver, Charles Gross, 36, was high on pain killers when it happened.
Gross is charged with murder, fetal homicide, driving under the influence and possession of a controlled substance.
A state police detective testified Wednesday that Gross admitted to snorting Loratab before the November 9th crash on Highway 931 in the Salt Lick community. Gross also told police he refused to let his passenger, Amanda Smith, 28, drive the car despite her asking several times.
Sergeant Brian Damron arrived first on the scene as bystanders tried to revive Smith. He says it did not take long to realize Gross was high.
"What I found was a green powdery substance that was in and around his nostrils and he had admitted to snorting a Loratab," said Sergeant Brian Damron with the Letcher County Sheriff's Department.
Doctors tried to save Smith's unborn child by performing an emergency C-section at the hospital.
Officials say the mother and child both died from blunt force trauma.
Police say they did find pills on Gross after the crash. They are now awaiting results from blood tests.
The grand jury will hear the case next month.
