According to Fran☆Skin, a new 「Toaru Kagaku no Railgun」 OVA will be released on October 29th — with a running time of 30 minutes. It is important to note that this is not related to the Railgun OAD that was announced earlier this month. That OAD bonus episode, entitled 「Toaru Beach no Tokuten Eizo」, will be bundled with the official visual book — on sale July 27th.

Dicks Family Foods in Wrightstown is still working toward putting a $2.5 million branch in Sherwood, a village that hasnt had a grocery store for about eight years.
The construction starting date might be moved, however, as the company works out logistics. The Sherwood store was first announced late last year and groundbreaking was originally slated in the spring.
Construction will be starting in 2013, said Rick Vanden Wymelenberg, fourth-generation owner of Dicks Family Foods along with his brother John. We still have our fingers crossed that the groundbreaking could happen in the spring.
The stores opening date can be estimated once they get going, he said.
Its going to be six to seven months to opening from the time we break ground.
The new Sherwood store would be built from scratch on Knight Drive. The brothers are still pursing an SBA-backed loan.
Village officials, eager to get the project going, used TIF money to give them incentives like a construction payback of $400,000 and a transfer of the land for $1.

How easy it is for is to forget where our food comes when we grab it, cleaned and packaged, from a grocery store shelf. / Kirsten Parmer/Special to the News Leader
Cold temperatures, hours of waiting, sitting still as a statue so as not to make a sound. It's all part of the hunt. The Brit is dressed as though he's headed off to hunt in this Monday photo on private land. / Kirsten Parmer/Special to the News Leader
I grew up in a hippie household in the 1970s. There was a lot of love and art and books and music and things that grew. We had a huge garden that was tended to first thing in the morning before it got too warm, nibbling on cherry tomatoes and peas popped from their pods while we worked. We made applesauce and baked bread. My mother volunteered at a food co-op, automatically cut the sugar in any recipe in half, and cooked religiously from More with Less a heavily grain- and vegetable-based cookbook. We picked our own berries and filled nylon stockings full of freshly dug onions to keep through the winter.
We didnt eat much meat trying to be good stewards of money and resources and when we did, we sure didnt like to talk about where it came from. I would maybe go so far as to say that we were all a little squeamish about meat. My grandfather used to gift us a side of beef at Christmas and each year we made a mysterious stop at a large gray processing plant on our way to the Indiana Turnpike. Crisp white butcher paper packages filled the chest freezer in the garage and disguised the slaughter that turned a cow into hamburger and roasts. There was always a bit of horror from us kids when we came across the package stamped tongue. The idea that this meat could once lick and chew made our repugnance all that much worse.
We were a family of gatherers but certainly not hunters.
Decades later, I found myself in a very different life juggling work and kids and 21st century demands. I could only remember with fondness and great appreciation, the days of salad greens from a garden or having enough time to watch bread dough rise. Then one late-fall afternoon two years ago, I was on the phone offering to have a fantastic dinner waiting for The Brit when he got back from bow hunting. I rushed home from work, stopping at the grocery store to grab a pack of shrink-wrapped filet mignon, some wild mushrooms in a styrofoam box, out-of-season asparagus and a bottle of red wine from somewhere far away. I got home, made a fire in the fireplace, turned on some music, and began cooking what most people would consider a fabulous dinner. It was sterile and easy, going from package to pan and I was warm and comfortable.
Meanwhile, The Brit was shivering in a tree stand on the edge of a fallow field, watching the deer come and go, carefully studying their movements and interactions. Choosing which one to shoot and which ones to leave alone. A doe came into range at just the right angle and he drew his bow. The arrow struck home and in a split second, his hours of watching the behaviors of the animals, hours of preparing stand locations and cutting shooting lanes, hours of practicing on foam targets and hours of failed attempts, came full circle. He gave the doe the time she needed, quietly climbed from his stand and began looking for a blood trail. This proved difficult in the quickly fading light, and he packed up his gear and headed home knowing that the cold weather would preserve her until morning.
It was the most conflicted I had seen him. He knew that the arrow had found its mark, but worried it wasnt as good of a shot as he first thought. It troubled him to think about the waste and the dishonor to the animal if he did not recover her.
We ate our meal which, even though delicious, now left a bad taste in our mouths as if plucking food from a grocery store shelf could erase the millions of years of hunting and gathering in our DNA. The still-missing doe, in contrast to the cow that had provided our filet mignon had never lived in a pen, or been flooded with hormones, or been frightened of pain or death.
That doe had only eaten what nature provided it. It ran free and roamed where it wanted to. It lived an unsullied and beautiful life.
This was my first season as the partner of anyone who hunted. Ever. I didnt know how to respond. My mother used to alter the passages in books she read to us that were too violent. I didnt have the vocabulary for killing and death. So my naturally sunny self took over after a few glasses of wine, and I decided that we should go back out right now in the dark and find her. This would be an adventure, I decided. Fun, even.
We got in the truck and went back to the field. The Brit described to me where he was sitting, the direction she moved into the clearing, the angle of her body against the angle of the arrow, and how she ran after the shot. With flashlights in hand, I carefully walked as he spoke, retracing each of his words.
Then, there it was, a tiny splatter of red on a piece of grass. We followed the blood trail carefully and I watched it change depending on her movements until we came upon a little thicket where she had laid down and died.
She was a gorgeous animal. Her eyes were big and soft. Seeing them reminded me of my dogs kind eyes when I walk in the door, or those of the gentle cows in the field when I pass by on a run. Before I could process it all, The Brit stroked her head and the soft fur on her neck. He spoke a moving and tender prayer of thanks for the good life she had lived and the meat she would provide for our family.
I wept.
Hunting wasnt an adventure or fun (at least not in the way I thought it would be), it was sustenance. While growing and gathering peas and tomatoes from the garden was hard work and noble, it never involved heartbeats or lungs filled with air. Hunting, however, was about living and breathing and dying and not something to be taken lightly.
I held her powerful hind legs while he gutted her right there in the field. It was a terribly unpleasant process, but The Brit reminded me that rarely is death or life clean and comfortable. It was hard work. We dragged her carcass back to the truck and took her to a processor. She in turn provided us with a freezer full of lean, organic meat. Now, every time I take a bite of meat any meat I remember the day that I met her.
The day she taught me how to be truly thankful for the food in front of me.

For the past couple of years I have been enjoying Chico Chai Lattes at the Saturday morning Farmer's Market and imploring them to sell their tea online. This past Saturday, I finally discovered that they have indeed made their dry tea available to ship, while the local chai teas are made in the following locations.
**I promise, I'm not compensated for this post, I truly enjoy their tea and HAD to tell you how much I love having them in my town to wake me with temptations of fresh chai tea on Saturday mornings.
I have tried, enjoyed, and purchased their original, and spicy chocolate, chai tea and make my own lattes at home. Although I have not had them hot, I prefer mine cold, but they are so refreshing and cheer me up with the very first sip. I think I enjoy it as much as I do coffee, and that says a lot since I'm a totally dedicated coffee addict connoisseur.
I brew my chai tea strong and keep in a jar in the refrigerator. I make enough for two days at a time and add to a glass of ice and fat free milk. Although when I get it fresh at the Market, she makes it for me with soy. Add a bit of nutmeg to the top and enjoy!
Join me here each week as I visit the many local coffee shops and tell about the amazing coffees and teas we have in our town. Oh by the way, our Travel-Team from Pix-O-Sphere was here last week and they visited the Farmer's Market with us and Jessica made a delectable treat for us all..I'll share that recipe as soon as she posts it on her blog. And we get to travel with them next week! I look forward to sharing all about that in a series about the Northern California Coast at the Pix-O-Sphere blog.

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A report reveals surprising holes in stadium security across the country. It's raising questions about how safe we are at large sporting events.
The Tampa Bay Rays will be back in town playing at Tropicana Field on Monday -- and on the way in, fans will pass the people who are the last line of defense at venues like this: private security workers.
They'll have you take off your hat and likely rifle through your bag. But a nationwide investigation released Thursday night by our partners at USA Today shows troubling holes in the system at many sporting events.
The investigation found several potential problems with security workers hired to protect these venues.
They're often part time, with schedules that are all over the place. Security companies say their workers generally only stay in the job for one or two years.
Four major problems were revealed:
Criminal backgrounds
Over the past five years, Florida has revoked about 350 security guard licenses each year because of people's criminal records.
Training and licensing gaps
Florida has one of the best training requirements in America, with 40 mandatory hours. Seven states don't license security workers at all.
Cost-cutting undermines security
Experts say most big teams hire security based on cost, or through a low-bid process. They say budget pressures can lead to cutting corners.
Trying to beat the system
The head of one security company says some venues use "event staff" instead of higher-paid trained security to search bags and perform other security jobs. It can lower costs and be used to avoid training requirements.
These problems can combine to have real consequences.
TV station KDVR last year sneaked fake and real guns into stadiums and arenas in Denver. They had a concealed weapons permit for the real pistol, but certainly no permission to bring it in.
Experts say if there are holes in the system, then all of the wanding and searching outside stadiums amounts to what they call "security theater."
It's designed to make us all feel better, but doesn't do what's really needed to prevent an incident.
This USA Today investigation does give details on specific ballparks or stadiums.
It was released late Thursday night, so we have not talked with representatives from Tampa Bay's sports teams yet. We will be following up with them as Friday morning goes on.

15 APRIL 2012: Carlos Sainz repeated his Saturday rain dance at Monza this afternoon, leading the third and final race of the Cooper Tires British Formula 3 International Series' Italian weekend from start to finish. The Carlin-run Red Bull Junior, 17, crossed the line nearly 17 seconds ahead of his closest rival to regain the championship lead.
Exciting young rookie Felix Serralles was second for Fortec; the Puerto Rican's points haul from this race and his round five victory promote him to championship second.
As with today's earlier race, conditions were deemed bad enough to warrant starting the race behind the safety car. Pole position man Sainz led the field away as the safety car peeled into the pits at the end of lap one, and by the end of the first proper racing lap was 2.3s clear of Serralles. By mid-distance his advantage was 8.9s and he continued to increase the gap every lap thereafter.
"It may have looked straightforward," said Carlos, "but as always it's never easy, especially in these conditions. The team gave me a great car to be able to pull away, and I used it; no mistakes. It was the perfect race for me, the dream race. A top job from the team and a good race from me, so I am very happy."
Serralles was suffering from a gearbox issue which hampered his pace, in the event second place was more than he expected and he was delighted: "It's been a really good weekend – a win and a second place is a really good result. Fortec have done a fantastic job and I'm pretty impressed with myself as well, being a rookie. I had a gearshift problem so I had to lift every lap to be able to shift into the next gear, so I am more than happy with the way I drove." For his efforts at Monza, Serralles was voted the Mobil Service Centre Master of the Weekend.
Felix's Fortec team-mate Alex Lynn (Essex) had a rather lonely run to third – it was the reigning Formula Renault UK Champion's maiden British Formula 3 podium finish.
Malaysia's Jaafar ran fourth from grid to chequered flag to collect a hat-trick of top-five finishes from the Monza weekend; he was a second ahead of Hannes van Asseldonk, who shadowed him throughout.
There was a superb four-way duel for sixth which was settled in favour of Devonian Harry Tincknell when he pulled off impudent passing manoeuvres at the second chicane on the penultimate and final laps, first demoting his Carlin team-mate Jack Harvey and then Pipo Derani, who had held sixth from the outset in a car which Fortec had toiled to get on to the grid after his morning crash.
Nick McBride was ninth, behind Harvey, with Fahmi Ilyas 10th after a drive-through penalty, imposed after he collided with his Double R team-mate Geoff Uhrhane on the seventh lap. The Australian's race ended there, and he was joined in retirement by Pietro Fantin, who had been a key contender in the battle for sixth, the Brazilian sidelined by mechanical woes.
Spike Goddard bounced back form his morning crash to head home his National class rival Duvashen Padayachee and collect his fifth class win of the season so far.

Harry Reid on Bergdahl Controversy: 'What Difference Does it Make?'
1:54 PM, Jun 5, 2014 • By DANIEL HALPER
Harry Reid on when the White House notified Congress of the Bergdahl-Taliban swap: "What difference does it make?"
A reporter asked, "How come it seems that you were the only one who got a heads-up the day before?"
Senate majority leader Reid answered, "I'm not sure I'm the only one. I mean, this is making a big deal over nothing. The whole deal, is it Friday or Saturday? What difference does it make? What difference does it make?"

Nokia (
) traditionally competes with mobile phone players like Apple
) and Research in Motion (
). A few weeks back, we examined whether Nokia's stock could
benefit from better than expected N8 sales. (
Can Nokia's N8 Smartphone Boost Market Share
) Our analysis was sparked by a Morgan Stanley survey suggesting
that Nokia could sell 2.5 million N8 smartphones during Q4 2010,
and 9 million in 2011. The survey included 150 handset retailers in
5 countries across Europe.
However, according to more recent research by Finnish research
company Inderes, it now appears that Nokia finished Q4 2010 well
ahead of the initial estimates for N8 sales - Inderes estimates the
company sold between 3.5 million and 4 million of the smartphones.
If these estimates are accurate, it could signal added optimism for
$12.46 price estimate for Nokia stock
, which is about 18% higher than the current market price. We
estimate that Nokia generates nearly half (48%) of its stock value
from emerging market mobile phone operations, while another 17%
comes from developed markets.
Market Share Declines a Cause for Concern
We estimate that Nokia sold a total of 450 million handsets in
2010. Hence better than expected N8 sales (of nearly 4 million
units) is still just a drop in the ocean.
The focus here is on the bigger picture. In the recent past,
Nokia has struggled to sustain market share in the face of pressure
from competitors like Apple, Research in Motion and Samsung.
Nokia's market share of the smartphone OS market declined from
around 45% in Q3 2009 to 37% in Q3 2010, while Google's (
) Android has rapidly closed the gap.
Market share losses are by no means a recent trend for Nokia.
The company's mobile phone market share in developed markets
declined from an estimated 29% in 2007 to 24% in 2010, while its
share in emerging markets dropped from 45% in 2008 to 33% in
These are big market share losses for Nokia, and we don't
foresee any recovery unless Nokia can institute a dramatic
turnaround. Could N8 produce that turnaround? On a standalone
basis, N8 is not enough to provide the turnaround that Nokia needs.
It does, however, provide a step in the right direction.
Are Recent Software Issues a Thing of the Past?
Has Nokia sorted out its software-related issues? Difficult to
say, but at least the recent N8 sales estimates provide some
optimism that Nokia has ironed out these concerns. N8 is the first
Nokia smartphone based on the Symbian 3 operating system, so the

Double-Digit Stock Upside if Nokia Can Sustain Market
On an optimistic note, if Nokia does indeed manage to improve
its mobile phone sales and maintain market share at 2010 levels of
24% in developed markets and 33% in emerging markets throughout the
Trefis forecast period, there could be an upside of around 10% to
our estimate for Nokia stock. This represents an incremental 10%
upside beyond the 18% premium at which we currently estimate
Nokia's stock value.
This scenario could have indirect benefits as well if the
elevated demand and corresponding bargaining power allows
Nokia more control over product pricing and profit margins in its
mobile phone business.

The significant accomplishment that has been achieved in resolution is 22 nm dense contact holes and 22 nm dense lines and spaces in positive chemically amplified resist. Moreover, this demonstrated resolution fulfills the industry needs for the next-generation 10 nm and 14 nm logic technology nodes.
The reported advancements are the results of the IMAGINE program's 5th Operational Review organized by CEA-Leti from January 24 to 26, 2012. In addition, CEA-Leti and MAPPER Lithography have announced the three-year extension of the IMAGINE program with the future installation of MAPPER's first pre-production Matrix systems at CEA-Leti, thus allowing global players to evaluate maskless lithography technology in actual production conditions.
The IMAGINE program is originally a three-year research/industry multi-partner program headed by CEA-Leti and also includes major semiconductor producers, STMicroelectronics and TSMC. Over 50 representatives from 13 different participating companies of the IMAGINE project had participated in the Operational Review event.
In this event, CEA-Leti has presented the latest advancements that include a stitching demonstration achieved on MAPPER Lithography's pre-alpha platform deployed in CEA-Leti's cleanroom since mid of 2009.
The Chief Executive Officer at MAPPER Lithography, Bert Jan Kampherbeek stated that the company will wrap up its Matrix pre-production platform in 2012, with an initial throughput capability of one wafer/h, which is scalable up to 10 wafers/h.
According to Laurent Malier, Chief Executive Officer at CEA-Leti, the results of IMAGINE program represents CEA-Leti's commitment to encourage this potential lithography solution.

No air conditioning, was sweltering at night even with the window open (which meant hearing every train go past and cars on nearby busy road), barely slept. Hostel was infiltrated by a school trip who washed their dishes on the bathroom, clogged up the plugs, ran in and out of the common room continuously until about 10pm. Kitchen is tiny. Hostel is not well sign posted. Directions are ridiculously unhelpful. 1 key for the room, so room is unlocked all night. Showers need an upgrade.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Raven first appeared in Gothic as an Ore Baron and Gomez' right hand. If The Nameless Hero joined the Old Camp, Raven would give him a quest to inspect the Brotherhood at the Sect Camp. After the collapse of the Old Mine, Raven became hostile to the hero and would attack him if given a chance.Raven could be killed by the Hero, which is a bit paradoxical, because...Raven also appears in the addon for Gothic II: Night of the Raven. He is responsible for hijacking and enslaving some of the residents of Khorinis. As we later learn, he ran the bandit's camp in Jharkendar and had slavers to dig gold out from his mine. He were also the chosen of Beliar, and were meant to get the Claw of Beliar, a powerful weapon forged by Beliar himself and rule the world under Beliar's autoritate. Raven's right hand was Bloodwyn, a selfish and ambitious man, which the Nameless Hero got to know during his time in the Colony in the first Gothic. Raven had set up a bandit's camp near the temple of Adanos. Saturas thus gave our Hero a mission - to stop Raven at all costs. So, after getting a disguise from pirates (it's a long story...), The Nameless Hero made it into the camp, and killed Raven in battle. He also got the Claw of Beliar from him. And Raven's story ends here.

The Greatness of Mordecai
1King Xerxes demanded taxes everywhere, even from the cities on the seacoast. 2And all the great things Xerxes did by his power and strength are written in the record books of the kings of Media and Persia. Also written in those record books are all the things done by Mordecai, whom the king made great. 3Mordecai the Jew was second in importance to King Xerxes, and he was the most important man among the Jewish people. His fellow Jews respected him very much, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the safety of all the Jewish people.

The 3M Filtrete™ 1200 Odor Reduction Filter includes activated carbon to remove household odors, such as pet odors, cooking odors, musty mildew smells, vapors from cleaning products, and tobacco smoke. Activated carbon works in conjunction with 3M's electrostatically charged filter media, which attracts and traps dust, dander, pollen, mold spores and other airborne allergens and particles that pass through the filter. The Odor Reduction filter carries a 3M Microparticulate Performance Rating of 1200 MPR (roughly equivalent to MERV 11). 1" thick filter is available in 4 standard sizes, and lasts for 3 months, with normal use. Box contains one (1) 3M Filtrete™ 1200 Odor Reduction Filter (gray package).
|3M recently discontinued its Filtrete™ Pet Odor Reduction Filter, which is now known as the 3M Filtrete™ Odor Reduction Filter, described above. This filter was previously called the Filtrete™ Home Odor Reduction Filter, but 3M recently changed its name and packaging. We apologize for any confusion.
American Lung Association Health House® Program
Indoor air quality has become a major health concern because so much time is spent indoors both at home and at work. The American Lung Association Health House® Program was formed with the mission of "Providing a foundation for Healthier Indoor Environments."
What is MPR?
MPR (Microparticulate Performance Rating) is a system developed by 3M to rate the ability of its residential-use 3M Filtrete™ filters to capture tiny airborne particles (between 0.3 and 1 micron in size) from the air that passes through these filters. According to 3M, particles can include fine dust, smoke, smog, bacteria, pet dander, pollen, dust mite debris, mold spores, and other particulates. 3M developed the system to help consumers compare different Filtrete filters based on the filtration level needed. The higher the MPR number, the better the 3M Filtrete filter is at capturing very small particles. So, for example, a Filtrete filter with an MPR of 1500 is better at capturing small particles than one with an MPR of 1000.
What is MERV?
MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) is also a rating system, initially developed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (known as ASHRAE) to measure the filtration performance of whole-house or building air purification systems. It, too, measures the ability of a filter to capture particles, but typically these are particles of a larger size (in the range of 0.3 to 10 microns). MERV ratings are on a scale of 1 to 16 (sometimes extended to 20), and are reputed to represent the worst case performance of a given filter, under test conditions. Like MPR, the higher the MERV rating, the better the filter is at capturing smaller particles that pass through it.
How does 3M's MPR rating compare to MERV?
As described above, MPR differs from MERV. The MERV system measures a filter's ability to capture large particles. The MPR system only takes into account microscopic particles between 0.3 and 1 micron because these are the particle sizes that most affect allergy sufferers and those with sensitivities. While there is no official comparison of ratings available between the two systems, unofficially, the industry reports:
|3M Filtrete 1" Air Filter
|MPR Rating
|MERV Rating
|• Odor Reduction (gray package)
|• Ultra Allergen (purple package)
|• Ultimate Allergen (deep blue package)
|• Elite Allergen (black package)
To Install the 3M Filtrete™ Odor Reduction Filter in your HVAC system:
Be sure to read and follow all the instructions provided on the filter's packaging.
I moved into a new apartment and every time enter, I felt the smell from the Kitchen cabinets (Indian, Spicy kind) and Carpet cleaning products. Though the product said Pet Odor Control and I don't have pets, I went ahead and ordered this product. When I received, the packaging didn't have the word 'Pet' it it and it was just Odor control. The other concern was the amount of carbon on the one side - it was very less - like sprinkled particles.. So, I saved the package - in case if I had to return it. I ran the AC/Fan for half day and the results were Amazing!!! All the smell is completely gone and no trace of it. I will happily re-order it.
The packaging said the effectiveness goes down fast if you use Candles, sprays etc - I don't use them anyways. I think the quality of the Carbon is better - The package says the absorption rate is higher than competitive products - I have used a few others and I believe so. It is worth it.

Senate joins House in passing state budget
On the fourth try, the Senate joined the House on Wednesday in approving an $85 billion state budget for the next two years.
One Democrat, Sen. Charles Colgan of Manassas, joined all 20 Senate Republicans in voting for the budget bill, HB 1301. The House had approved the measure, 77-19, on Tuesday.
A day earlier, Colgan and all other Democrats present voted against HB 1301, complaining that it lacked funding for the second phase of the Dulles Rail extension to Loudoun County. That prevented the budget from getting the 21 Senate votes it needed to pass.
Republicans applauded Colgan for his change of heart, and they criticized Democrats for their budget tactics.
"After two months of obstructionism punctuated by one last-ditch attempt by the leaders of the Senate Democratic Caucus to derail the budget process, the General Assembly has fulfilled its constitutional duty to pass a budget," said Senate Majority Leader Thomas Norment of Williamsburg.
Norment said the budget wouldn't have passed "without the statesmanship of Sen. Chuck Colgan. He demonstrated again today why he is one of Virginia's most respected leaders."
Sen. Walter Stosch, R-Henrico, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said Wednesday "was a good day for the Senate and a great day for Virginians."
"The budget we approved provides much needed funding increases for K-12 public education and for our state-supported colleges and universities," Stosch said. "It also provides critical funding for transportation needs across the state, our local governments, health-care services, our state parks and all operations of state government."
Democrats said that by blocking the budget, the party forced Republicans to restore cuts in government services.
"The governor proposed taking $100 million from public education and public safety to finance transportation, slashed the health-care safety net and cut millions from the cost of competing funding for hard-to-staff positions in public school," said Delegate Mark Sickles of Franconia, who chairs the House Democratic Caucus.
"While this is not the budget that we would have crafted, it is a vast improvement over the original proposal."
The budget will take effect July 1. Republican officials warned that by holding up the budget process, Democrats were risking a state government shutdown and preventing local governments from preparing their own spending plans.
"We said on several occasions that this budget would come in due course," said the Democratic leader in the House, Delegate David Toscano of Charlottesville. "With a budget in place, our schools and local governments will be able to adopt their own budgets well in advance of the close of the fiscal year."
Sickles said Democrats "remain hopeful that we can find a solution to the funding dilemma on the Dulles Toll Road and provide toll relief to the families who will face high skyrocketing tolls without additional assistance from the commonwealth."
On Tuesday, citing a recent study, Senate Minority Leader Richard Saslaw of Fairfax said the Dulles Metrorail project was vital to his region.
"In the 'Top Five Public Works in America,' the No. 1 project was the Metrorail to Dulles. It has already caused major things to happen such as job creation, which totals about 300,000 jobs in the Arlington and Clarendon area," Saslaw said.
Without funding for the Metrorail extension, Saslaw said, Loudoun County residents eventually would be paying almost $12 each way to commute to work in the Washington, D.C., area.
Because of the dispute, the General Assembly failed to pass a budget during its regular legislative session, which ended March 10. Since then, a conference committee of House members and senators has been trying to hammer out a compromise.

Here is how the Senate voted Wednesday on "HB 1301 Budget Bill."

Town constable often enforces short stretch of 30 mph zone, parking in a pull-off area across from Bullard Real Estate Office. He's been the constable here for quite a while, and isn't tremendously motivated, but the entire stretch is only about half a mile, so its best to just slow down through the town.

Prior to rocking out to their 18-song set, fans could have been treated to a special experience, had they known the band would dine at Tuscany (3700 North Clark). Luckily for a few select area music journalists, the dining experience was just that, as we had the opportunity to talk with the popular musicians thanks to Aware/Columbia Records sweet publicist Sandee Gardner.
With the main purpose of the bands 30-date tour focusing on the promotion of the new album, Oh! Gravity, set for a Dec. 26 release date, the five member bands, led by front man Jon Foreman, supported by brother Tim Foreman (bass and backing vocals), Jerome Fontamillas (guitar, keyboard, and backing vocals), Drew Shirley (guitar) and Chad Butler (drums), prioritized the turning on of new featured songs. Both Awakening and Dirty Second Hands seemed to satisfy the crowd just fine, as many tried to lip-sync as many words as they could muster the courage to try.
Of course featuring the new album was not the only treat of the night, as Switchfoot also performed radio favorite Dare You to Move and Stars to satisfy the crowds desire for a sing-a-long.
Throughout the entire show, Switchfoot never once let the crowds adrenaline subside, as the depth of their quickly growing catalog proved strong enough to make everyone dance and leave everyone wanting more. With the new album on the verge of release, the bands set list will continue to grow in strength and value giving Switchfoot staying power many bands are envious of. These boys are not only a studio success, but also a live rock out performing group.

St. Olaf College is accredited as a degree-granting institution by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, which accredits over 1,000 colleges and universities in nineteen states. To retain that status, St. Olaf must seek reaccreditation every ten years. Reaccreditation involves a comprehensive examination of how well the college is performing its educational mission and whether the institution continues to meet established criteria for quality assurance.
In the past, the process required colleges to conduct an institution-wide self-study in preparation for a comprehensive peer review visit. The self-study process often took place over a two-year period. For St. Olaf's current reaccreditation, the college and the Higher Learning Commission are collaborating on a new approach. St. Olaf is one of 14 institutions the Commission has invited to participate in the first cohort of its new "Pathways Demonstration Project" model for reaccreditation.
Under this new model, called "Open Pathways" for short, the reaccreditation process has two steps: a Quality Initiative and an Assurance Review. In St. Olaf's case, the college proposed the recent Main Street Initiative as the Quality Initiative project to be evaluated. Accordingly, the final report on the Main Street Project has been submitted for assessment by the Higher Learning Commission.
Following a response by the Commission, the next step is for the college to prepare an Assurance Argument. The Assurance Argument is designed to be a succinct, evidence-based argument making the case that St. Olaf meets each of the Higher Learning Commission's criteria for accreditation. Unlike the long, descriptive self-study that institutions previously wrote in reaccreditation processes, the Assurance Argument must address each criteria in a specified format. The Argument must be no longer than 35,000 words.
President Anderson has appointed a committee to coordinate work on the Assurance Argument. A draft of the Assurance Argument is to be completed in January 2013 and input sought from faculty and staff before a final vesion is then submitted to the Higher Learning Commission in mid-March. A peer review team selected by the Commission will then evaluate the Assurance Argument; conduct a site visit on April 15 and 16, 2013; and make a final recommendation concerning St. Olaf's reaccreditation to the Higher Learning Commission.

Hi campbell, I know that, #static variables are class variables. #They are accessed only by the class and not by the class Instances. #static variables are accessible from static methods and className. But c++, allows declaration of static variables inside a method. Why that feature of "static" has been removed in java ?Is my question? So you can call them final, but not static or public or protected or private.

Originally posted by Gavin Tranter: Java is NOT C++. Never has been, I would suggest if you want to use a feature of C++ you should chose to use C++ and not Java, you will be much happier. However, my answer is, I suspect that static variables have a slightly different meaning in C++ to what they do in Java. I actual cant see the need to have Java static variables in a method, the only use I can see is to count the number of times a method is called (cant think of a real world use), for this you can use an instance variable, and if you wanted that count for all objects of a given class use a static (instance variable).

Originally posted by Bill Shirley: The use of a static variable in a method/function causes it to be non-reentrant. This can cause no end of headaches. It's a language design choice to not allow you this rope to hang yourself with - much of Java is designed that way. You can still define a private static variable in the class and use it only in one method, but it's more explicit that the variable you are defining exists beyond an invocation of the method. It's not an limitation of functionality, only one of syntax. I think it's a good decision given the frequency of multithreaded programs (almost anything with a UI or communications outside the program), and that will only increase as multi-core platforms become more prolific.
Originally posted by Ernest Friedman-Hill: Honestly C (yes, this is a C feature, not a C++ feature) static local variables are darn handy, and I've wished for them more than once in Java. Basically they're like member variables of a function: they get initialized the first time the function is called, and persist while the application runs. The Java equivalent is to create an object, perhaps an inner class, to hold the methods and the variables -- basically if you find yourself wanting this, then you probably have a class that needs to be broken into multiple smaller classes.

DEBEQUE, Colo. (KKCO) -- Traffic could be slow going on I-70 through DeBeque Canyon Monday as crews work to avoid future rockslides.
The Colorado Department of Transportation will be doing some rockfall mitigation work from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
While that is going on, the right lane of eastbound traffic will be shut down, but that's not all.
There will be times both eastbound lanes will be shut down, and the interstate could shut down in both directions if they need to do any scaling work.
CDOT says they will do their best to keep it to a minimum, but you should plan some extra time to get through the area.

For over three hundred years, church steeples have stood as landmarks in the center of cities and villages across this country. Today, however, many municipal officials are doing whatever they can to keep churches out of town.
In 1936 Edward M. Bassett, a principal author of the first modern municipal zoning law adopted by the City of New York in 1916, wrote a book titled Zoning. For years city planners regarded it as a classic text on the municipal regulation of land.
When that landmark resolution was drafted, Bassett wrote, it did not occur to its creators "that there was the remotest possibility churches, schools, and hospitals could properly be excluded from any districts."
In 1949, however, the California Court of Appeals ruled that municipalities could ban churches from residential areas. Both the California State Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court refused to review that decision. Today many communities reject church applications for building permits in a residentially zoned district.
More recently the Smith case, decided by the United States Supreme Court in April 1990, has been cited as a precedent forbidding the construction of religious facilities. (See Christianity Today, July 16, 1990, p. 48 and October 7, 1991, pp. 38-41.) In Oregon Employment Division v. Smith, the court ruled any "reasonable law" should prevail even if it creates "incidental" burdens on the freedom of religion.
This and other rulings suggest that new, relocating, and growing churches may be living in an age of limits.
The Smith case leaves defining the scope of religious liberty in the United States to federal, state, and municipal legislatures.
That means majority rules.
If a congregation seeking a building permit can persuade a majority of the municipal governing body, they can build. If those opposing that permit can win a majority to their point of view, the church cannot build. Instead of the rule of law, it is the rule of the majority. In a few states, such ...

I think we can all agree that the costumes are amazing. I'd love to get a closer look.
That is amazing work. Thanks for the peek. I agree, I would love to get a closer look. I want to sit with those women and learn their embroidery techniques. Another career I would love.
All that work! I wouldn't have done all of that for less than 10,000 euros. Love the sewing machines they used.
------That's Gl = for Gloria, not G. I.
Wow -- those are amazing costumes. Thanks for the link.

121.25 yds purchased (as of 11/22/15)
So glad to see that some of the embroidery is done by machine! If it was all done by hand, those dedicated ladies would not be making much money
I also liked seeing the pliers being used. With many thick layers, I have done the same thing.
The picture of cutting with gigantic shears looks like he is cutting power mesh, which would make a very good base for this type of garment.

Gorgeous painstaking work.
I read something by Ernest Hemingway, when he was playing at being a toreador, he came back from the arena feeling proud of himself for surviving the bout. One of his team mates said he had embarrassed the .
When he asked how, they pointed to his crotch and said he was supposed to pad it with tissues so his package looked bigger! His description was hilarious. And I think of this when I see male ballet dancers...

Sewing on the beach, what could be better?
That's funny about padding out the crotch area! There is indeed quite a bit of humor about what materials male ballet dancers choose for their personal 'enhancement.'
Maybe we should be grateful, though: Think about the codpieces worn by the gentlemen of Henry the Eighth's time!
It looks like they are using an old Singer 15 (and one old enough it does not even have the stitch length lever on it at all) with just no pressure foot on it, also no darning foot and just their fingers, for most of that cording and and embroidery work, that is not being done by hand.
Fascinating! Notice how small the sewing spaces are, and to do such amazing work.

511 Encourages Transit Riders to Get "Real" This Fall
Messaging announcing more agencies being added to 511 Real-Time Departures
Real-Time Transit Departure and Stop ID using 511 Mobile
November 2012
"Real-time information from 511 gives transit users peace of mind knowing when their bus or train will arrive at their destination," said Jim Macrae, 511 Senior Program Coordinator. "People can spend more time at work or shopping and less time waiting and wondering."
Real-time departures are currently available for BART, AC Transit, San Francisco Muni, WestCAT, the Broadway Shuttle in Oakland and the Dumbarton Express, offering information for more than over 200 routes. A team at MTC is working to incorporate more transit systems into the real-time network in 2013, including SamTrans, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), Caltrain, and Golden Gate Transit.
Customer demand for real-time information has continued to grow. In the past few months, 511 received more than 350,000 phone calls, over 15,000 web user sessions and over 25,000 mobile requests each month for just real-time departure information. This has added to the increasing volume and success of 511 as a whole, as demonstrated by the more than 650,000 calls, over 2 million web user sessions and over 100,000 mobile requests for information per month.
MTC has made it easy to access real-time information from 511 using your phone, computer or mobile device. And, all of these services are free to the public.
On the Web
There are two places within 511's web pages where you can get real-time departure predictions. Go to 511.org and use the Real-Time Transit Departures tool in the lower left-hand side of the page, or go to the transit page and click on the Real-Time Departures tab at the top of the page and use the dropdown menus to select your agency, route, direction and stop. You will see up to three predictions for the specific route you requested, as well as all other routes that serve your stop. You can save time by saving your trips — which you can do by registering with MY511.org.
On the Phone
On the phone, just say "Departure Times" at the main menu. By entering your Stop ID via voice or the key pad, you will instantly get three real-time departure predictions for each route that serves your stop. You can find Stop ID numbers displayed on signs at your particular stop or, if you don't know your Stop ID, the automated system will lead you through voice prompts to help you find the Stop ID for your bus stop or train station.
Real-Time Departures on Mobile
The 511 mobile website also includes the Real-Time Transit Departures tool. With this tool you can enter or lookup your Stop ID number and receive real-time departure predictions for each route that serves your stop. You can always bookmark the resulting page of departure predictions so that you can instantly load predictions for your stop whenever you need them.
Text for Departure Times
You can also request and receive transit departure times by SMS/texting and using your Stop ID. By sending a simple text message, you can receive a response message that includes predictions for each route that serves your stop. Go to 511.org to learn more.
Real-Time with MY 511
People who register with MY 511 can create and save the real-time departures for select transit trips on a personalized 511 home page. And, by signing up for MY 511, you'll reach a personalized phone menu whenever you call 511 and bypass menu options to immediately hear real-time transit departures for your next bus or train.
"We probably have the most advanced system in the nation for collecting and publishing real-time information, in terms of the number of transit agencies and routes covered and the number of channels used to get the information out there," said Macrae.
Real-time information was first introduced to the Bay Area by 511 in 2005 and featured information for San Francisco Muni's Metro Line and the historic F-Line. After a successful launch, Muni buses were added to the system in 2008. More agencies followed including BART, WestCAT, AC Transit, the Broadway Shuttle and the Dumbarton Express.

Storms that moved through the Tuscarawas Valley overnight left thousands without power and dumped rains that have closed numerous highways.
Storms that moved through the Tuscarawas Valley overnight left thousands without power and dumped rains that have closed numerous highways.
The threat for more storms continues today. The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh issued a hazardous weather outlook at 5:18 a.m. saying there is a slight risk for severe storms today. The main threat will be damaging winds and large hail. Any storms that develop will be capable of producing heavy rains.
The Tuscarawas County Engineer's Office is dealing with numerous calls of roads under water and washed out culverts.
Roads closed this morning include County Roads 24, 56, 53, 109, 105, 32, 30, 21, 85, 98, 28, 27, 2, 3, 49 and 94.
Wayne Crilow, assistant county engineer, said there is a landslide on County Road 49 (Angel Valley Road), near St. Jacobs Ridge Road in Jefferson Township west of Stone Creek. The department also has received a call from Perry Township trustees that part of Phillips Fork Road may be washed out.
Several state highways in Tuscarawas County are restricted or closed because of high water, according to Becky Giauque, public information officer for Ohio Department of Transportation District 11 in New Philadelphia.
They are:
• U.S. Route 36 westbound is down to one lane near Newcomerstown.
• State Route 800 is down to one lane south of Moravian Trail Road in Mill Township southeast of Dennison.
• State Route 258 is closed in two places – between Post Boy Road and Gravel Lick Road in Washington Township, east of Newcomerstown; and between Stillwater and West Chester.
She said there are no highways closed in Harrison County, but there are three locations that are being monitored because of high water. There are also no closed roads in Holmes County.
"We are on the lookout for washouts and plugged culverts," Giauque said.
Dover Service Director Dave Douglas said employees of his department were out assessing damage this morning.
There was high water in some areas, and he said Goettge Run, which goes through the north side of Dover, was running very full.
As of 8 a.m. AEP Ohio was reporting that 429 customers in Tuscarawas County were without power; 1,412 in Coshocton County; 657 in Harrison County; 170 in Carroll County; and 3,722 in Stark County.
As of 6 a.m. Guernsey-Muskingum Electric Cooperative had about 320 members without power. Crews were out through the night and are continuing to work today. Complete restoration is dependent on today's weather.
Carroll County had a couple of rounds with the severe thunder, lightning, and rain that swept through the county Tuesday evening.
No downed trees have been reported, and only three roads have high water warnings this morning. Warnings are posted at County Roads 11, 26, and 10.
Briar Road, County Road 40, has a lot of corn from a nearby field that has washed onto the roadway. Workers from the county highway department expect to be clearing that corn for most of the day.
Page 2 of 2 - Kathy Cook, administrative assistant at the county garage, said that there is a problem with many driveways being washed out and gravel and debris in the roadways.
No major damage was reported through the sheriff's office, according to Sheriff Dale Williams. He said there was plenty of thunder and lightning and the rain was very heavy at times, but the ground was dry enough that it soaked in pretty quickly.

Book Title: The Intellectual Rebel
Through experiment, it will be discovered that certain arrangements of the synergic subcircuits will create the phenomenon of synergy. I believe that synergic circuits should be connected to the outside world through the permanent memory circuits.
Since synergics is a purely experimental science, the appropriate arrangements of the synergic circuit components will have to be worked out experimentally, because it cannot be done by theory alone. When the appropriate arrangements of the synergic subcircuits and their components are created, it is my belief that an electronic brain with consciousness will be achieved. Many new phenomena will be discovered from the above circuit arrangements as well.
The heart of the synergic subcircuit will be the purely random voltage and current transistor component. Although the logic and memory subcircuit components are important also, it is the combination of the purely random voltage and current transistor components, the logic and memory subcircuits, the interconnections of the synergic subcircuits and the permanent memory circuits all working together that will create a conscious electronic brain. One should not be surprised when working on synergic circuits like the above to discover truly revolutionary phenomena.

Westview High's Marcus Graves has signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Sacramento State.
The point guard on a Wolverines team that went 18-11 last season, Graves was first-team All-Palomar League. He averaged 17.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists a game with a high of 33 points against Poway.
Sacramento State is an NCAA Division I school that plays in the Big Sky Conference. The Hornets were 14-16 last season.

Touting TCU
Andre Petties-Wilson, one of the top receivers in the region in 2013, has signed to play next season at TCU.
Petties-Wilson had 72 receptions for 1,187 yards and 11 touchdowns last season for a Mission Bay team that was 12-2 and advanced to the San Diego Section Division II title game. He also returned two kickoffs for TDs.
"I had some really decent choices," said Petties-Wilson, who picked TCU over Memphis, Nevada and Idaho State. "But I have family near TCU, and it felt like home on my visit. Plus, I get to play in the Big 12.
"Recruiting was a really stressful process, but getting a scholarship is such a blessing."
Petties-Wilson, who also played basketball and runs track for the Bucs, credited Mission Bay football coaches Willie Matson and Mel Galli with his success.
"Those are the guys who got me here," Petties-Wilson said. "I've enjoyed high school."
