I go easy on the carbs all day long and try to keep them on the lower level of what SP suggests. NO CRAVINGS. GONE. It's amazing.
Retirement starts with that first paycheck. OHHHH it was so hard in the beginning not to want to spend that little pile of cash. Even though the extra annuity checks went bye bye with the market, what we saved is supporting us now. I am so happy we were not foolish in the beginning as I never knew it would turn out this good. Remember to pay yourself first and then don't touch it - forget it's there.
This tip is only for when you need crumbled hamburger for say tacos or spaghetti sauce. I put my hamburger in a pot of water and boil it until it's done. Drain the water and bye-bye grease. Leave the meat in 1 or 2 chunks then after draining use a spatula to break up into crumbles/season & use!
I weigh in minutes after waking up. It helps me remember not to eat to much the day before

The conditions were primed for scoring Saturday.
Mike Gardner led a group of nine players who shot even par or better during the first round of the Zanesville District Golf Association Senior Amateur at the par-72 Vista Golf Course.
Gardner finished the day with seven birdies as part of his 5-under 67, giving him a two-shot lead over Jeff Metzger, who shot a 3-under 69. ...

-Support Means Higher Taxes and Premiums in Florida-
Tallahassee, Florida–Today Americans for Prosperity (AFP) the nation's largest and most effective advocate for economic freedom released the following statement calling on state leaders to reject the state-based health insurance exchanges.
From AFP-FL's State Director Slade O'Brien:
AFP is extremely disappointed in leaders in Florida suggesting that the Sunshine state should create a health insurance exchange. An exchange will increase insurance premiums on consumers and taxes on hardworking families. Florida's best intentions will be masked by the federal government's onerous requirements.
Multiple governors have announced that they will not create an exchange. This list now includes Mike Pence (IN), John Kasich (OH), Robert Bentley (AL), Bobby Jindal (LA), Sam Brownback (KS), Rick Perry (TX), Nikki Haley (SC), Nathan Deal (GA), Robert McDonnell (VA) and Jay Nixon (MO). AFP supports these steps. However, last week statements from Representative Weatherford, Senator Gaetz and Governor Scott suggested that Florida is not on the same path.
"Numerous governors across the country are joining together to send a strong message to Washington to reject these flawed exchanges," O'Brien continued. Weatherford, Gaetz, and Scott's statements sends the exact wrong signal. Florida should not agree to be the de-facto administrator of the federal government's rules, regulations and mandates. In light of the recent election, it is clearly now up to the states to get our fiscal house in order. Succumbing to Washington largesse and regulation is the wrong path for Florida."
The federal government is offering unlimited grants to states to create an exchange between now and the end of 2014. All exchanges must be self-funding starting in 2015. Each governor must notify the federal government by December 14, 2012, of his or her decision whether to create a state-based health insurance exchange, defer to the federal government or partner on a hybrid-exchange.
"Federal funds are flowing freely to buy state compliance, but state budgets will take the hit in two short years. Florida's leaders are showing a real lack of resolve exchanging health care freedom for these temporary funds," said Nicole Kaeding, AFP state policy manager. "Creating an exchange puts state taxpayers on the hook for millions of dollars every year. Florida should reject these bloated bureaucracies."

Stargate fan person, but the new season of the office doesn't do it for us. Flashback to the golden years of the series with the Clue The Office Edition ($25).

|Improved 3-D-echocardiographic endocardial border delineation using the contrast agent FS069 (Optison) transesophageal studies in a porcine model.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11597358 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|3-D echocardiography has the potential for quantitative assessment of regional wall motion. However, the 3-D procedures used to date do not provide the same spatial and temporal resolution as 2-D echocardiography, which results in problems with border delineation of the endocardium. There are, as yet, few studies testing if the use of contrast agent can improve endocardial definition in the 3-D data set. FS069 (Optison) was used for the first time for this purpose in the present study. A total of 12 mechanically-ventilated pigs were examined by transesophageal 3-D echocardiography, 1. using fundamental imaging and 2. following left-atrial injection of FS069 (Optison). The left ventricle was analyzed using an 18-segment model. Score with the value 0 (not visible), 1 (moderately visible) and 2 (well defined) were used to rate endocardial definition. All segments were assessed both end-diastolic and end-systolic. Various LV regions were examined by grouping segments (anterior/lateral/inferior and basal/mid-ventricular/apical). Using the contrast agent, the proportion of nonvisible segments fell diastolic from 40 (18.5%) to 15 (6.9%), and systolic from 26 (12.0%) to 11 (5.1%). The proportion of well defined segments increased diastolic from 62 (28.7%) to 108 (50%) and systolic from 73 (33.8%) to 123 (56.9%). The mean visibility score increased diastolic from 1.10 +/- 0.68 to 1.43 +/- 0.62 (p < 0.001), systolic from 1.22 +/- 0.64 to 1.52 +/- 0.59 (p < 0.001). The benefit was greatest in regions where the visibility score was lowest without contrast: in the area of the lateral wall and systolic near the apex. In conclusion, the use of FS069 (Optison) results in significantly better endocardial delineation in the 3-D data set. This could be important in future for the 3-D echocardiographic assessment of regional wall motion.

Why should we aid the rebels (al-Qaida and others) in the Syrian Civil War? We have no great national interest in that country. Their government is no threat to us.
George Washington said we shouldn't into get involved in the European wars. Eisenhower said to beware of our military industrial complex.
We are broke. We spend more money on our military than the next 17 top military powers in the world.
We dropped the ball when we allowed the countries of Afghanistan and Iraq to have sharia law, thus degrading their women to be second class citizens (men rule).
Obama, who was raised a Muslim in his early years, has given the rebels medical supplies, communications gear, armored vehicles, and individual body armor.
The only reason some of those Muslim countries act friendly to us is because we give them tons of money.
We gave Egypt billions of dollars' worth of F-16 fighter jets, Abrams tanks and etc. Why? No one is going to attack Egypt.
But the Muslim Brotherhood, who now rule Egypt, will use those armaments to attack our only true ally in the region, Israel.
Look what they have done to the Christians in Egypt.
Look what happened to Libya after we helped get rid of their government (Col. Gadhafi was no threat to the USA); they attacked our embassy and killed our ambassador and some Navy SEALS (Benghazi).
Col. Gadhafi's government was more lenient to women than most of the Muslim countries. The Muslim Brotherhood has also taken over that country.
The news says the Syrian government is bad because so many civilians have been killed.
Obama said we would up our help to the rebels by military intervention and arming the rebels with better weapons if the Syrian government forces used gas ...

Samsung Electronics has developed the world's first 70nanometer (nm) 4 Gigabit (Gb) NAND Flash memory.
The 4Gb NAND flash is the fourth generation of NAND flash memory. The growth of flash memory has seen it doubling in density every twelve months. This trend began in 199 when 256Mb memory was released and was followed by 512Mb in 2000, 1Gb in 2001, 2Gb in 2002, and 4Gb in 2003. At the high density levels, nonvolatile memory is now replacing magnetic tapes and low-density hard disk drives with solid-state data storage. The space, weight and power savings that NAND flash allows will see them used in mobile applications such as notebook PCs, tablet PCs, mobile handsets, MP3 players and PDAs.
Samsung's 4Gb NAND flash memory has the smallest memory cell size of 0.025um2 due to it using a 70nm node design. Another industry first is a 300-angstrom tungsten gate, to reduce inter-cell resistance and noise levels ensuring higher performance in multi-gigabit memory designs.

Hi guys,
Just registered here and thought I would say hi.
I am aware that E-Stim Systems Ltd produce their own E-Stim products and would imagine that they have setup this forum to help customers discuss their products, but I notice that there is no mention of any of the other major brands like Erostek, Rimba etc. Are threads/ posts about other brands deleted by the moderators are is it just that these subjects just haven't come up in conversation yet.
I own a Erostek ET-312 unit and am very pleased with it, though I have had no experience with any other power boxes so can't really compare them.
The reason I registered was to discuss ideas and to establish what the best setup is in terms of rings, electrodes etc.
Incidently, where do most people shop for these items? I have had a quick look at the online shop on E-Stim Systems, but they don't have much in the way of conductive cock rings other than conductive straps or bands.
As a straight guy, I have never tried anal sex and can't imagine to to be much fun from the receivers point of view, yet I notice loads of electrode butt plugs! Why, unless I am missing something here. Can these butt electrodes give pleasure? Well I guess they must because they seem expensive and I can't imagine people parting with that kind of money if they don't! Next question is do they work with straight guys too? Is there such a thing as an anal orgasm in guys? God this must sound really dumb, but hey someone needs to ask the question!
Also, why are electrodes so expensive? In fact the whole subject tends to be quite expensive.
Yesterday I popped into our local adult shop to ask what electrodes they had and was told that they didn't have any and I should try looking online. Maybe it's the price again that makes this hobby less than mainstream?
Anyway, having fun experimenting so far.
Cheers Chris.

During the conference, Dr. Bruce King, who heads Optomec's photovoltaics solution
development efforts, will be presenting further information in the Visual Presentation
area, on "Progress Toward Production: Aerosol Jet Printing for Non-Contact
Solar Cell Metallization." Dr. King's presentation will explain
how Optomec's Aerosol Jet deposition process is able to print much finer
lines than is currently possible with traditional screen-printing methods. These
narrower, high integrity collector lines have higher conductivity and a lower
shadowing effect, thereby increasing photovoltaic cell efficiency. In addition,
because the process is non-contact, Optomec's Aerosol Jet process can
print on thinner wafers and with less breakage than screen printing techniques.
In a study conducted by Fraunhofer ISE, absolute efficiency gains of .7% were
achieved using the Aerosol Jet printing in conjunction with a plating process.
Manz CEO Dieter Manz is very enthusiastic about the integration: "The
Optomec technology integrated into the Manz back end line will allow the solar
cell manufacturers to make a big step in the improvement of cell efficiency,
to further reduce the breakage and to ultimately use thinner wafers. This will
help our customer to drive down the overall cost of PV rapidly."
Dave Ramahi, President and CEO of Optomec, states, "The response to our
introduction of Aerosol Jet printing technology at the PVSEC event last year
has been overwhelming. Our Solar customer base has grown by more than 200% to
include leading solar cell manufacturers, materials suppliers and industrial
labs. There's a keen interest in the market to adopt Aerosol Jet as a near-term
replacement for screen printing, and in the medium term as an enabling technology
for next generation cell architectures. We are likewise very pleased that in
just four short months since the announcement of our partnership, the Manz/Optomec
engineering teams have completed the integration of the Aerosol Jet-Solar Print
Engine with the Manz wafer automation system. The road ahead is exciting as
we deliver this new capability for production trials before year-end."
Optomec is the world-leading provider of additive manufacturing systems for
high-performance applications in the Electronics, Photovoltaic, Biomedical,
and Aerospace & Defense markets. These systems utilize Optomec's proprietary
M3D Aerosol Jet technology and LENS® powder-metal fabrication technology.
Optomec's Aerosol Jet platform recently won the IDTechEx award for best
printed electronics manufacturing technology. The company has a global customer
base of more than 60 users that includes many industry-leading manufacturers.

|The use of a treadmill with biofeedback function in assessment of relearning walking skills in post-stroke hemiplegic patients - a preliminary report.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21225519 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background and purpose: One of the most important goals of rehabilitation of post-stroke hemiplegic patients is the recovery of their locomotion function. The aim of the study was to assess walking function recovery by means of in-patient rehabilitation procedures, as well as the effectiveness of treadmill gait training with the use of biological feedback. Material and methods: The research involved groups of chronic post-stroke hemiplegic patients receiving treatment in the rehabilitation ward. Factors under scrutiny included walking speed and capacity, number of steps, weight bearing symmetry for lower extremities while standing, lower limb mobility on the Brunnström scale, and muscle tone on the Ashworth Scale. The study group patients followed a rehabilitation regime that included treadmill training aided with biofeedback function. Each study group participant exercised every day (a total of 15 times), with a single practice time ranging from 5 to 20 minutes. Control patients followed a rehabilitation regime without the additional treadmill exercises. Results: Patients in both groups demonstrated improvement in locomotion abilities. In the group following the physiotherapy regime supplemented with treadmill training with the use of biofeedback, the measures of walking speed, weight bearing symmetry for lower extremities, and number of steps were better than in controls. Conclusions: Treadmill gait training with the use of biofeedback is effective for relearning locomotion functions in post-stroke hemiplegic patients and can constitute a significant type of exercise in a physiotherapy regime.

The Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2009 introduced a new level of pension contribution to be made by all public and civil servants.
Pension contributions are deducted from your gross income. Income tax, PRSI and other deductions, were assessed on the balance of your income after pension contributions had been deducted. However, in Budget 2011 it was announced that PRSI and the new Universal Social Charge are payable on gross income from 1 January 2011.
Pension contributions are graduated so that the effect is less at lower income levels and greater at higher levels.
From 1 March 2009, pension contributions were deducted at:
The Department of Finance estimated that the average deduction would be 7.5%.
Supplementary Budget April 2009, announced changes to the graduated scale of pension contributions. These changes reduced the impact of the deduction on lower paid civil and public servants.
From 1 May 2009, graduated pension contributions are:
The rate of pension contribution will have no effect on the rate at which you buy back service.
The rate of pension contribution is separate to and has no effect on any arrangement you may already have to pay Additional Voluntary Contributions.
If you are already getting a public service pension you will not pay a pension contribution.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is hoisted by his Baltimore teammates after leading their victory in Super Bowl XLVII.
- Filed Under
Capping a pretty perfect postseason, Joe Flacco completed 22 of 33 passes for 287 yards and three first-half touchdowns Sunday to earn Super Bowl MVP honors for leading the Baltimore Ravens to a 34-29 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Flacco became only the sixth quarterback in 47 Super Bowls to throw for three scores in a first half, connecting with Anquan Boldin for 13 yards, Dennis Pitta for 1, and Jacoby Jones for 56.
And the unassuming guy who played his college football at Delaware finished Baltimore's four-game run to the title with 11 TD passes and zero interceptions. ...

I've recently reunited with my Magic Bullet blender and have been enjoying some incredibly simple and delicious shakes lately. After whipping up my breakfast this morning (in about 4 seconds), I figured I'd share with you this simple version of the day's best meal.
Short background…My wife and I tried a detox diet about a month ago and one of the many, many benefits from our brief stint in detox-land was the great recipes that we learned and still use. We're back to our normal healthy eating lifestyle now – no more detox but very limited junk too. My wife found this particular detox diet on Gweneth Paltrow's newsletter GOOP and we adapted it for a brief 4 days of detox living. Check out the link (non-affiliate) for a pretty comprehensive rundown on the benefits of and philosophies behind her detox diet.
For the breakfast shakes, we dusted off the Magic Bullet that was lying idle in our cabinet for a couple of years, bought some ingredients, and started our new morning routine. This is the perfect breakfast for home and when you're on the go. It's especially handy for people who don't like to eat breakfast because it goes down smoothly and doesn't fill you up too much.
Use a Bullet (or any other blender), fill half the container with almond milk, add a scoop of whey protein, a scoop of Pro Greens powder (or similar), and a handful of fresh or frozen berries (or any fruit). Blend. Drink.
It's really that simple. The best part is you can mix it up with different fruits or veggies, add some peanut butter, honey, or whatever you enjoy.
Try it out and let us know how it goes in the comments.
Cheers to healthy mornings!

A 'devil' not worthy of an ambassadorship
It's been 200 years since the United States kicked off a shooting war with Great Britain. But that nation might be wondering if we're looking to start another scrap. What else could be signified by rumors that Vogue editor Anna Wintour could be our next ambassador to the Court of St. James's?
One can only imagine befuddled, monocled British public servants on the phone with the White House: "Dear Lord, is it something we said?"
The primary qualification for many ambassadorships — the ones in countries we rarely take issue with — is raising and donating wheelbarrows full of money for winning presidential candidates. Presidents would probably also like to give jobs to folks who raise money for their opponents, if they could only make them take the assignments: "We really hope you'll enjoy your time in Somalia, Ambassador Rove. If you run into any trouble just call Ambassador Adelson in Iceland. He's always so helpful."
But no, the gigs go only to the money herders of the successful, like Wintour.
Born in Great Britain but now a U.S. citizen, she co-hosted a $40,000-per-head fundraiser for President Obama in June, then did another in August for $35,800 a plate. I wonder why the meal at the second event was $4,200 less. No dessert? Box wine?
Granting posts based on fundraising is neither a new foolishness or a Democrat-specific one: President Richard Nixon famously said, "Anybody who wants to be an ambassador must at least give $250,000" — and that's when $250,000 meant something.
But the idea that you can buy a taxpayer-funded job, an awesome title and use of a mansion is abhorrent. To be fair, rich people are also selected because they're expected to spend some of their own money entertaining, but still.
It's been agreed that this needs to stop and a law went into effect in 1980 demanding ambassadors be picked based on skills and experience. Now, we can celebrate 32 years of that law being ignored.
Patronage works if you pick candidates who are suited to the position and are big contributors. Our current ambassador to Paris, Charles Rivkin, got the job by co-chairing Obama's California financing efforts. But he ran two large companies, has deep roots in France and politics, was brought up in a family involved in the diplomatic corps and is garnering rave reviews from experts here and in Paris.
But when you pick grubbers of money unsuited to the position, watch out. Cynthia Stroum, an investor in startup companies who bundled for Obama like nobody's business, was forced to resign as ambassador to Luxembourg last year after she was described as aggressive, bullying, hostile and intimidating. She dedicated pretty much all the resources of the embassy to her own comfort.
Reports said she forced employees to spend days seeking the perfect umbrella for her patio.
Which type is Anna Wintour? She's most famous for a fictional film depiction of her life, "The Devil Wears Prada," in which she was ... the devil. She insists on sitting separately from other journalists at fashion shows. She cannot bear to be at parties for more than 20 minutes. It's said her employees are not allowed to ride elevators with her or start conversations.
As for tact, Wintour once said of Minneapolis, she could "only kindly describe most of the people I saw as little houses." She shared this not with a friend, but on "60 Minutes." I hope Londoners are getting plenty of exercise and laying off the bangers and mash.
If these jobs matter so little that they can be handed to whomever can corral the most cash for a campaign, they don't need to exist. And they definitely shouldn't go to people famous for an inability to play well with others. If you can enrage Minnesotans, we don't need you representing the United States on the world stage.

No public funds used for Nkandla - reportComment on this story
Pretoria - Public funds were not spent on building President Jacob Zuma a house in his home village, state investigators said on Sunday in a report that sought to end one of the biggest scandals to hit Zuma before elections next year.
The report did say the government had spent R206-million on security upgrades and related costs at the president's private compound, and that this decision was based on an assessment of threats to Zuma.
Opposition politicians and media have said Zuma used up to R250-million of state funds to upgrade his private residence in his home village of Nkandla, in KwaZulu-Natal.
Public Works Minister Thulas Nxesi, who led the so-called "Nkandlagate" inquiry, said there was no evidence that public money was spent on Zuma's home or on any house belonging to him.
However, the state paid R71-million for security upgrades at the complex and an additional R135-million was spent on "operational needs for state departments", including support staff, medical facilities and accommodation, Nxesi said.
The investigation by Nxesi's department, which was in charge of the upgrades, including installing bulletproof windows and security fences, did find irregularities in awarding tenders.
Nxesi told reporters that any officials at his department who were implicated would be investigated and held accountable.
The opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) called the report, which will not be made public, a "whitewash", and said the investigators seemed more focused on punishing low-ranking officials than holding Zuma responsible.
"There was absolutely no willingness on the part of government to admit to South Africans today that spending this amount on one man's home is ethically and lawfully wrong," said Lindiwe Mazibuko, the DA's parliamentary leader.
Justice Minister Jeffrey Radebe said Zuma did not know the details of the security arrangements at his home.
"The president is not involved in this process and he is not expected to sign on anything as he has no authority with these security upgrades," he said.
The report was welcomed by the ruling ANC, which has been in power since the end of white minority rule in 1994.
Despite securing more than 60 percent of the vote in the last four democratic elections, the ANC is losing support to opposition parties who have accused it of graft, cronyism and failing to tackle widespread poverty and unemployment.
"The ANC believes that this report will bring to closure the issue of Nkandla that has generated speculative public opinion and has been used to incorrectly attack (the) president, the ANC and its government," a spokesperson said. - Reuters

Dir: Roland Joffe. US. 2007. 84 minsThe controversy surrounding the marketing of Captivity proves to be more interesting than the film itself. Banned American billboard images considered too intense for public display earned Captivity the kind of notoriety that publicity budgets cannot buy. Anyone seduced by the whiff of scandal is likely to leave underwhelmed by a perfunctory rehash of familiar genre cliches from the likes of Saw, My Little Eye ...

Chicago's biggest summer music festival hits Grant Park this weekend, and over the years it has developed a reputation for bringing a distinctly skunk-like smell to the Loop for three days.
So what does that mean for this year's festival? On day two of Lollapalooza, Chicago's new, more lenient marijuana policy takes effect, giving police the option to issue tickets instead of making arrests for possession of up to 15 grams.
The festival takes place on city Park District property, so arrests can still be made and the ordinance doesn't technically apply, according to NBC Chicago.
But the Chicago Tribune reports that there wasn't a single marijuana-related arrest made last year at the event, which was attended by 270,000 people (not all of whom likely followed the rules). Arrests are still mandated for smoking (as opposed to possession), possession on school grounds and intent to sell.
Will police turn a blind eye or will we see a spike in ticketing outside the festival's boundaries? Tell us your thoughts in the comments:
AUGUST 2012 -- A mere passing mention of the "war on drugs" has the tendency to send Chicago-area media into a firestorm. After Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle stated, during an event led by former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, that former President Reagan deserved "a special place in hell" for his administration's drug policy, she almost immediately backtracked on the comment. Preckwinkle later emphasized that, although she could have used more careful wording, she remained critical of how the United States has approached substance abuse as a criminal problem rather than a health crisis, the Chicago Tribune reports, though Reagan is not the only president whose administration has held such a position. "Drug policy in this country has been in the wrong direction for 30 years," she noted.
JUNE 2012 -- Chicago's City Council passed an ordinance that allows police to ticket people found with small amounts of marijuana instead of arresting them, saying aldermen had to do something to keep officers on the street where they can combat the surging homicide rate and not be tied up for hours doing paperwork. The 43-3 vote in favor of the ordinance, which allows officers to write a ticket for $250 to $500 for possessing as much as 15 grams of marijuana or about 15 marijuana cigarettes, was expected after a council committee voted 13-1 previously to approve the measure. But aldermen still debated about two hours before passing the ordinance, with many saying they were not comfortable with a measure that could be seen as sending a message that they are condoning drug use. Others said they needed to act to protect an increasingly nervous city where homicides are up 38 percent this year compared to the same period last year. One day after the council approved the ordinance, police announce their seizure of 16,000 pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $40 million -- one of the city's biggest pot busts ever.
JUNE 2012 -- Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel introduced a proposal that would allow police officers to issue tickets to individuals caught with small amounts of marijuana. Under current law, those arrested for pot possession can face a punishment of up to six months in jail, plus a $1,500 fine, but the mayor's proposal essentially decriminalized the possession of small amounts of weed. Police would newly be able to ticket low-level offenders -- those possessing less than 15 grams of the drug -- and fine them up to $500. Emanuel initially stayed quiet on the ordinance but said that after researching the issue, he realized that such a change would allow the city to "observe the law, while reducing the processing time for minor possession of marijuana - ultimately freeing up police officers for the street."
APRIL 2012 -- It's likely not the skunks contributing to the whiffs Chicago Tribune columnist Barbara Brotman has been catching around Chicago. "The smell [of marijuana] has changed," Ryan Vandrey, a behavioral pharmacologist and assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who has studied marijuana for 12 years told Brotman. Another expert explained that the skunk-like smell is an increasingly popular variety associated with a powerful high. With the warmer weather and the onslaught of outdoor concert and festivals headed Chicago's way, this "infestation" is likely to grow just as rapidly as the skunk population this season.
MARCH 2012 -- In the course of reporting on the traffic stop of Terrance Huff, HuffPost was able to obtain the reports of an Illinois State Police K-9 unit over an 11-month period in 2007 and 2008. An analysis of those reports shows that only 25.7 percent of the drug dog "alerts" resulted in police finding a measurable quantity of illicit drugs. Just 13 percent resulted in the recovery of more than 10 grams of marijuana, generally considered an amount for personal use, and 10.4 percent turned up enough drugs to charge the motorists or their passengers with at least one felony.
FEBRUARY 2012 -- Police confiscated more than a ton--2,100 pounds total--of marijuana on the South Side of Chicago. Combined with 64 grams of cocaine also found at the scene, the estimated value of the drugs is more than $6 million. Four people were charged in the bust -- Atef Dissi, 27; Nika Hines, 27; Keith Mackmore, 39 and Gregory Wright, 28. Dissi, of the 4500 block of West 77th Place, faces the most serious charges, including one felony count of manufacture and delivery of cannabis and one misdemeanor count of criminal trespass to vehicles. That same week, officers on the West Side responding to a domestic battery call stumbled upon an "elaborate" marijuana-growing operation, confiscating about 70 pounds of bagged marijuana and live plants and charging Darick Bryant, 39, with felony manufacture and delivery of cannabis and other misdemeanor infractions.
JANUARY 2012 -- A 20-year study of marijuana users in four U.S. cities, including Chicago, found that marijuana smoke is less damaging to the lungs and body than tobacco smoke. Unlike cigarette smokers, marijuana users tend to breathe in deeply when they inhale a joint, which some researchers think might strengthen lung tissue. But the common lung function tests used in the study require the same kind of deep breathing that marijuana smokers are used to, so their good test results might partly reflect lots of practice, said Kertesz, a drug abuse researcher and preventive medicine specialist at the Alabama university.
NOVEMBER 2011 -- The Evanston City Council voted 6-3 on a $250 million budget that included decriminalizing marijuana possession of 10 grams or less, penalizing offenders with a fine rather than the jail time they could face elsewhere. Aldermen justified the more lenient marijuana ordinance as a protection against young people's futures (infractions under the new ordinance will not appear on criminal records), and as part of an effort to free up police they say are overextended in the town, which has about 75,000 residents and contains Northwestern University. The similar Chicago proposal, meanwhile, has failed to pick up much steam.
NOVEMBER 2011 -- Ald. Danny Solis (25th) introduced an ordinance to the City Council that would make possession of small amounts of marijuana a ticketable offense -- leaving offenders to pay a $200 fine versus a misdemeanor charge. "In these trying times of the economy, we could really use the revenue generated by fines versus arrests," Solis told the AP. "And each (arrest) means police officers are spending an inordinate amount of time outside the neighborhoods, inside the district offices doing paperwork." Solis estimates that the change would bring the city $7 million per year and also save police and court workers "money and thousands of hours of time."
AUGUST 2011 -- Though reliable statistics on the subject are difficult to track for obvious reasons, analysis last summer estimated that the average selling price of marijuana in Illinois, particularly in the Chicagoland area, is among the highest in the nation. The blogger behind FloatingSheep.org created a map of average marijuana prices across the country based on data from Price of Weed, a website that crowdsources information regarding how much people are paying to light up. The blogger's analysis indicates that Illinois, particularly in its northeastern corner, is home to some of the highest prices for green found in the nation. According to Price of Weed, the average price of a high-quality ounce of marijuana in Illinois is $430.80, while a medium-quality ounce can be purchased for roughly $303.13. The data is based on just under 1,000 submissions. In Chicago, based on recent data, the average price of a high-quality eighth of marijuana appears to hover just under $60.
AUGUST 2011 -- Chicago police arrested seven men and found an estimated $33 million in cannabis, weighing more than 12,000 pounds, from a West Side warehouse, the biggest bust in the city's history. According to a news release, narcotics unit officers were led to the warehouse, located on the 1000 block of South Kolmar Avenue, after they received a tip about a drug trafficking organization that was linked to multiple street gangs, in addition to storing and distributing massive amounts of narcotics. Monday, police observed a cargo van leaving the grounds which, upon further investigation, contained nearly 2,500 pounds of marijuana. The warehouse contained 9,800 more pounds of cannabis, as well as seven vehicles, a rifle and a handgun that were "connected with the illicit activity," according to police.
JULY 2011 -- Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, an outspoken opponent of arrests for low-level drug possession offenses, reportedly discussed the idea of decriminalization with Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy. "It's pretty well known within the criminal justice system that the judges will dismiss those charges [involving] very modest amounts of illicit drugs," Preckwinkle said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. "I suggested to [McCarthy] that although the law is pretty clear that such possession is a violation of the law, that since the judges routinely and almost universally dismiss such low-level drug charges that the police might stop arresting people for this since it clogs up our jail and these people their cases will be dismissed out anyway." The suggestion ccame about a month after Preckwinkle called the "war on drugs" a failure. "The cost is too great to continue fighting this war on drugs with so little success," she said. McCarthy has publicly made similar comments about drug enforcement previously. In an interview with WBBM-AM 780, he said "narcotics use is a criminalized social issue" which causes crime.

Melissa Birr was 29 years old, a single mother and taking care of her paraplegic father. Her job at the time just wasn't cutting it.
So she decided to do something about her career. She found the courage to start again and she knew that an education was the first step. Now that first chapter of her grand plan is complete as she pursues a master's degree. And on Friday Ms. Birr, who was selected to be one of two student speakers at the Monroe County Community College Commencement Ceremony, recalled that time in her life when it all changed.
"In my head I knew I was doing the right thing," she told her fellow students and others in the audience at the Gerald Welch Health Education Building.
"It has been difficult at times," Ms. Birr continued. "But we made it. We did it."
At MCCC's 46th annual commencement ceremonies 180 students graduated and most will continue their education.
"Our time at Monroe County Community College has come to an end," said student Natasha Wickenheiser. "But our journey is not over."
Called by her friends as the Justin Bieber of community college because she's won so many awards, Ms. Wickenheiser mentioned the friends she made at the school and how they helped achieve her goals.
"Their strength and courage inspired me to overcome my obstacles," she said.
During the ceremony Dr. John Holladay, professor of English and philosophy, was awarded honorary grand marshal and Lynette Dowler was honored as the 2012 Alumnus of the Year Award. Upon her graduation from MCCC in 1983, Ms. Dowler went on to earn her Master of Science degree and has been employed at DTE for three decades.
"You're something very, very special and you need to celebrate that," Ms. Dowler told the graduates. "Take your education and move forward."
The annual ceremony was the last for MCCC President Dr. David E. Nixon, who is retiring this summer. MCCC Board Chair William J. Bacarella presented Dr. Nixon with a proclamation honoring him as president emeritus and thanking him for 10 years of service.
"My appreciation goes to you: the students," Dr. Nixon said. "You have enriched my life."

BOSTON — A state police sergeant who released striking photos of the capture of the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings faces a hearing to determine if he will be suspended until an internal investigation is complete.
Massachusetts State Police spokesman David Procopio said the agency didn't authorize Sgt. Sean Murphy to release the photos to Boston Magazine and won't release them to other media.
Murphy told Boston Magazine he released the photos because he was furious over a Rolling Stone cover photo he believes glamorizes suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He said his photos show "the real Boston bomber, not someone fluffed and buffed for the cover of Rolling Stone magazine." The music magazine hits the shelves this week, and some retailers have said they won't sell it.
Procopio said Friday that Murphy has been relieved of duty for one day and there will be a hearing to decide if he will be suspended until the internal investigation is complete. He did not say when the hearing will be.
Murphy has not returned calls from The Associated Press. No one answered the door Friday at the blue cottage along the coast in Biddeford, Maine, where neighbors said he spends weekends. Someone started a "Save Sgt. Sean Murphy" Facebook page that had hundreds of "likes" in just a few hours.

From Delmer Carroll,
Mountain Home:
"Tax bills for the rich." Given the figures in this article, the middle 20 percent are making about $3,300 for each percentage point in taxes. The top 20 percent are making over $7,300 per percentage point in taxes, and the top 1 percent are making $39,400-plus for each percentage point in taxes.
The way I see it, those that get the greatest benefit should take the biggest hit and be thankful they live where they are at or near the top of the "feeding" chart.

Monta Ellis ends season on huge downer, disappears in most important game of season
SAN ANTONIO — A mostly successful first season with the Mavericks ended on a huge downer for Monta Ellis.
He disappeared in the most important game of the season.
Ellis had trouble getting shots and couldn't make them when he did. His defense was sloppy as well, although that didn't separate him from most of his teammates.
Ellis was 3-of-11 and had 12 points. The Mavericks were outscored by 22 points when he was on the floor in the first 36 minutes. After that, nothing much mattered. Ellis fought foul trouble throughout the game.
Ellis said the adjustments the Spurs made defensively had an impact on him, particularly on the pick-and-rolls.
"They made adjustments," Ellis said. "Tim [Duncan] was a little higher [on screens] today. They fought over the screens, but they hit us hard and they never looked back. They were the better team tonight."
For the series, Ellis shot 52-of-127 (.409) from the field. He averaged a shade over 20 points per game.

A groundbreaking today marks the beginning of construction on a much–anticipated parking structure in downtown Grand Junction.
The innovative building will have room for 109 spaces for hourly parking, and an additional 323 spaces open to long–term lease.
Though the structure is a parking garage the architecture will look much like existing downtown buildings. A representative of project contractor Shaw Construction says the urban environment poses some special challenges, as there will not be much room for materials and space for work.
The parking garage will cost 7 million dollars to build and should be open in about a year.

Amazon intros $99 Kindle Touch, $79 Kindle to dodge tablets
updated 10:30 am EDT, Wed September 28, 2011
Amazon Kindle Touch and 79 Kindle set records
Amazon in the same introduction as the Kindle Fire tablet also revealed its own direct answer to the current Nook. The Kindle Touch is based entirely on an infrared-based, six-inch touchscreen with a unique interface known as EasyReach. Tapping the top quarter of the screen brings up the menu, while tapping near the left edge goes back; tapping the rest of the page goes forward.
A new X-ray feature can also give an at-a-glance view of all the relevant content on a given page, chapter, or the entire book, such as names and places. Both the dictionary and Wikipedia entries for a book are pre-cached in X-ray so they don't have to be used online.
The Kindle Touch will be available for as little as $99 in a Wi-Fi only version and will have a $149 version with AT&T-supplied 3G.
A conventional, button-guided Kindle should also be available in a Wi-Fi only version for $79. The new version is 30 percent lighter than the outgoing model even as it includes a faster E Ink display from the Touch. The new version drops the built-in keyboard, however, and makes users rely on the navigation buttons for control.
The pricing of both e-readers is both a step to help mass market e-readers but also to distance conventional e-paper readers from tablets. Owners of iPads and other full-fledged tablets often drop plans to get e-readers and, until now, have sometimes seen the price difference as too narrow to get a high-end e-reader instead. Readers at $79 and $99 may help either get those who only wanted a digital e-book device as well as those who can afford to get both a full tablet and an e-reader for circumstances where a tablet would be too risky or unreadable, like bright sunlight.

The BFA in Fine Arts degree prepares fine arts majors for a lifetime of artistic pursuit, whether your passion lies in drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, or new media.
The BFA Fine Arts curriculum allows students to investigate the full scope of the arts to better refine their creative self-discovery. Though the core focus lies in
the fine arts, students have the option to enroll additional courses from the
other departments, expanding versatility as an artist.
Starting with a solid foundation in traditional media, the curriculum
unfolds with a cross-disciplinary approach that encourages individual
expression. For example, a class like Painting the Human Head,
which examines the structure, proportions, and character of the human
head, might later surprisingly inform a student's new interest in
abstract sculpture.
Undergraduate Fine Arts students work closely with a faculty of working artists who share their knowledge and experience to assist and advise you in discovering your own creative path and artistic potential. Critiques by faculty members and visiting artists will enrich the studio experience by providing objective points of view and fresh ideas, and instruction features exposure to methods of academic and technical research, sound studio practice, digital technology, and new media.
The Fine Arts program's expanding work space includes a professional printmaking studio with five presses for etching, woodcut, and lithography, a well-equipped wood shop, a plaster-casting room, a figure sculpture studio, and a ceramics studio with three kilns. Senior Fine Arts students have their own semi-private work spaces and there is a two-floor exhibition space exclusively reserved for student shows.
A beginner-level course designed to introduce students to a direct or alla prima approach to painting in oils. Emphasis is on color mixing and the physical manipulation of paint as direct response to visual perception.
This versatile print medium takes a collage approach to creating the printing plate. Thin layers of paper, fabric, tape, gesso, carborundum, etc. are adhered and sealed to heavy mat board or Masonite, and printed intaglio or relief. This course introduces carborundum prints and polyester silk prints, as well as a more painterly approach using gesso, glue and modeling paste. Emphasis is placed on color experimentation rather than editioning when printing.

Fowl Mood Racing Ready For 2012 Season Opener This Saturday Night at Can Am Motorsports Park
Craig Revelle – Finish Line Web Design
April 16, 2012
After a good test session with their brand new Rocket Chassis on Saturday afternoon at Can Am Motorsports Park, Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team are ready to resume the 2012 racing season.
Saturday turned out to be a great day for practice, and the team hit the road and headed to Can Am Motorsports Park to shake their new car down, in preparation for the season opener this coming weekend. Phil and the team were able to make several runs, and discovered some minor issues that they were able to resolve quickly.
"It was a good test session for us. We had some minor issues that we had to fix, but nothing serious", says driver Phil Potts. "The new Rocket chassis handled great, and I can't wait to get the season started this weekend".
The Fowl Mood Racing team will race at Can Am the first two weeks, before their home track Brighton Speedway opens for the season on Saturday, May 5th. The team will race at Brighton throughout the year, and also follow the Go Nuclear Late Model Challenge Series. The first series race is set for June 8th at Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, New York.
Fowl Mood Racing would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. We would like to thank Hutchinson Fuels, Indewey Excavating, Vanderlaan Building Supplies, Bill's Johns, Gord's Water Service and Brighton Recycling Inc. for all their support, and we look forward to a very exciting 2012 season.
For more information on Phil Potts and the Fowl Mood Racing team, and to stay up to date with our progress through the 2012 racing season, please visit our website, www.fowlmoodracing.com. The website will be getting a complete overhaul over the next couple weeks with a better interface that will be more appealing for the viewers of the site.

LSU head coach Les Miles speaks with LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson before a recent game against McNeese State.
BATON ROUGE - It has been such a given since even before the 2010 season started that junior cornerback would enter the NFL Draft a year early that some LSU players think Peterson should take part in Senior Day for the Tigers during Saturday's home season finale.
"Patrick's going to be at our senior day, we believe," LSU senior middle linebacker Kelvin Sheppard cracked. "Everybody who's anybody says he's going to be a top-five pick."
So far, there are no plans to have Peterson walk out with the 15 seniors who will be in their last home game when the No. 5 Tigers (9-1, 5-1 Southeastern Conference) ...
