A team of 25 cyclists rode into the Mid-Ohio Valley Tuesday night in an effort to raise money and awareness to support the end of modern day slavery worldwide.
The International Justice Mission Freedom Tour is pedaling 500 miles -- and will end their journey at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Biking across several states; championing a cause they all believe in.
"They do it because we're passionate about the issue. And this is a way we can take action and kind of promote a change I guess, and seek a change with communities that we come to," says tour leader Cody Henderson.
The group started their tour in Cincinnati last week.

Thats all I can say about the devastation caused by the tornado Sunday night.
Luckily, we were at my parents house in Ellisville when the storm hit. We got home later that night, and it was raining pretty bad, but our house was unaffected. We had no idea of the true extent of the damage.
Monday morning I got up for work and went out to the affected areas, talking to victims of the storm, shooting video, and just coming to terms with all the carnage I saw everywhere.
I can honestly say I havent seen anything like this since Hurricane Katrina, and I speak from experience on this one I was living in New Orleans when Katrina hit.
My house took on 7 feet of water in that storm. I lost practically everything I owned, including my vehicles, so I know what its like to be in this position.
I truthfully wish everybody the best in this horrible situation, and I know everyone will persevere and pull through.
On that note, lets see whats going on business-wise in the Pine Belt.
Heres a short list of the businesses that I know for sure were damaged by the tornado and are inoperable: Bops Frozen Custard on Hardy Street; Papa Johns Pizza, Villies Subs and More and Bakers Burgers, along with the rest of Village Green Shopping Center; Ace Hardware of Petal on Main Street; and the Red Cross on Hutchinson Avenue. I know this is a short list, so if anyone knows of any other damaged businesses, let me know.
The Purple Parrot Cafe in Hattiesburg recently was given a Four Diamond Award by AAA Mississippi. According to AAA, the Four Diamond Award is given only to the travel authoritys most prestigious hotels and restaurants.

Fridaygram: startup moms, ape memories, persistent projects
Friday, July 19, 2013
By +Scott Knaster, Google Developers Blog Editor
Sometimes you have a baby and a startup at the same time. For times like those, Google's Campus Tel Aviv recently held Campus for Moms, a startup course designed to be friendly to babies and moms taking care of them. The nine-week course included technical topics like the evolution of cloud computing, legal information, financial advice, and more. The classroom was filled with bean bags and mats so that moms and babies could hang out together during sessions.
Graduates finished up by presenting their ideas to potential investors and class leaders. And during the course of the nine-week class session, four participants announced new launches: their babies were born.
Human babies build memories as they learn and grow, but what about other primates? A recent study provides evidence that chimps and orangutans can remember things for longer and more precisely than previously thought. Researchers found that both species could instantly recall an event (finding a particular tool) that took place three years earlier. The animals could also distinguish events that took place two weeks prior. Could ape startups be next?
Finally – and we really do mean finally – the pitch drop experiment at Trinity College Dublin has come to a successful conclusion. After nearly 70 years of trying, the project now has video proof that tar pitch sometimes behaves like a liquid and, given enough time and the right conditions, will form drops that fall from the main body. The experiment started in 1944, and now it's done. Hooray!
This weekend, why not start a multi-decade experiment of your own? Maybe we can even feature it on some future edition of Fridaygram, if it still exists when your own pitch-drop moment happens.

Ford City water plant plans cause heated discussion
FORD CITY — Council President Lou Vegari and member Jerry Miklos were at odds on Monday over the projected cost of a planned new borough water plant.
Miklos said he wonders how the original projections for the construction that started at $750,00 eventually grew to the $1.1 million.
He said he had asked Mayor Marc Mantini to set up a meeting with state Department of Environmental Protection officials to discuss the plant project.
Mantini told council he and Miklos went to Pittsburgh on April 23 to meet with DEP and were told that permits should have been signed by Vergari in October.
The report caused Vergari to respond: "Why would you go with a council member without asking the council president?"
Arguments became heated between Vergari and Miklos about delays of at least two years in the project. Vergari said delays were caused by the two previous borough engineers.
"Within a month and a half (current borough engineer Jim Garvin) has turned in all permits," said Vergari.
Garvin told council that since the permits have not yet been approved, the original plan to break ground in July will likely have to be pushed back to August or September. Garvin, who was hired as engineer in January, said he has been working with DEP to resubmit some information in permit applications and will be doing so as late as this week.
Of the project cost, Garvin said the $750,000 projection might have been too "hopeful."
In other business:
• Councilman Eugene Banks asked if money could be found in the budget to repair the fence surrounding the statue of John B. Ford in Ford City Park. The railing was damaged by a fallen tree in February.
Vergari asked council to consider selling the borough crane, which he said was obsolete, to do the work. He said the scrap metal might bring in at least $5,000.
In addition to the fence, Vergari noted repairs are needed on the borough garage. The insurance carrier requires that proper wiring be installed and that a leaky roof be fixed, he said.
• Councilmen Miklos, Banks, Vergari, Paul Harmon and Rob Mohney voted 5-0 to appoint Matt Lerner to the planning commission for a five-year term to expire in December 2017. Councilwoman Kim Bish was absent.
• Voted 5-0 to advertise for someone to maintain the Ford City website, either on a voluntary basis or for a nominal fee.
• Voted 5-0 to advertise for interested citizens to serve on each of the following: the municipal sewage authority, the planning commission and the zoning hearing board.

Recent studies generating complete human sequences from Asian, African and European subgroups have revealed population-specific variation and disease susceptibility loci. Here, choosing a DNA sample from a population of interest due to its relative geographical isolation and genetic impact on further populations, we extend the above studies through the generation of 11-fold coverage of the first Irish human genome sequence.
Using sequence data from a branch of the European ancestral tree as yet unsequenced, we identify variants that may be specific to this population. Through comparisons with HapMap and previous genetic association studies, we identified novel disease-associated variants, including a novel nonsense variant putatively associated with inflammatory bowel disease. We describe a novel method for improving SNP calling accuracy at low genome coverage using haplotype information. This analysis has implications for future re-sequencing studies and validates the imputation of Irish haplotypes using data from the current Human Genome Diversity Cell Line Panel (HGDP-CEPH). Finally, we identify gene duplication events as constituting significant targets of recent positive selection in the human lineage.
Our findings show that there remains utility in generating whole genome sequences to illustrate both general principles and reveal specific instances of human biology. With increasing access to low cost sequencing we would predict that even armed with the resources of a small research group a number of similar initiatives geared towards answering specific biological questions will emerge.

The all-day music festival features roughly 90 bands that will be making a stop in Las Cruces on June 26 at the NMSU Intramural Fields. Every year, Pulse puts out a guide to Warped Tour, with bios on each band, listed by stage, some band features and all the pertinent info you'll need to get the most out of your day. That'll come out June 20.
The 2013 Vans Warped Tour website is under construction and will be launched in time for the tour's kickoff on June 15. The full list of bands is available on the site now, though, and updates are surely to come. Go ahead and bookmark it at vanswarpedtour.com.
Already underway is the annual Battle of the Bands competition, which will ultimately name four local bands (from Las Cruces and El Paso) to perform at Warped Tour on the local stage. Don't miss your chance, local bands! For information and rules, visit battleofthebands.com.
This year we'll see acts like Hawthorne Heights, Big D and the Kids Table, Motion City Soundtrack, Reel Big Fish, Beebs and Her Money Makers, Memphis May Fire and many more.
With SO many bands gracing the stages, it's tough to weed through them all and identify the truly unique and talented groups bringing something fresh for fans.
I look forward to hearing from you.

US stocks and gold are bouncing, the ten-year Treasury yield is tumbling below 2% again (at least briefly) and the dollar is getting hit — sounds like the typical picture of a QE trade rippling through the financial markets.
Indeed, some market participants are taking today's dovish FOMC statement as QE-lite.
The key boost for risky assets lies in the Fed's further extension of its promise to keep its ultra-low target rate into late 2014. That means investors can be assured that the first rate hike won't come until then or even later.
A bond trader says that the statement signals the Fed is more worried about deflation, which suggests more policy easing to come.
"They won't use the D word but that is what they are thinking," he says. "Expect QE3 to come."
The dollar wilts on the dovish Fed, with the euro up 0.4% at $1.309.
Gold, another QE beneficiary, bounced from less than $1660 an ounce before the Fed's statement to more than $1710 at last check.
The Fed, for clarity's sake, has released those individual forecasts on interest rates by policy makers, which has perfectly muddied the waters on exactly just how dovish the Fed really is.
It turns out some FOMC members don't want to keep rates on hold until the Second Coming. That "news" has got Treasury yields backing up a little bit and stocks and the euro coming off the boil.
These forecasts may make the Fed seem a little more hawkish than we thought at 12:30 p.m., but I hereby declare, according to the powers vested in me by this keyboard, that we should watch what the Fed does, not what its individual members say. And what it has done is promised to keep rates at rock-bottom until late 2014. That hasn't changed.
Remember how Goldman Sachs recommended you go short Treasurys? On Monday?
That is not working out so well.
In their note, the Squid said they expected the 10-year Treasury yield to break out to 2.25% to 2.5%. At the time, the 10-year was yielding about 2.07%.
Right now, after the Fed's promise of free money to the event horizon, the 10-year Treasury yield is down to 1.93%.
No break-out in yields so far.
Most unfortunate is this graf in their note, which says an "easing event" was already priced into Treasury yields and that Treasurys would sell on the news:
The FOMC statement could provide a near-term catalyst: According to a client survey by our US trading desk, around half of those polled expect the Fed announcement to ease financial conditions further, with only 12% expecting a tightening. Around two-thirds of participants believe the mid-point of the 'central tendency' range for the Fed funds rate at the end of 2014 will be 75bp (the forwards) or below. Finally, 72% of respondents expect the FOMC will announce a long-run neutral policy rate of less than 4%. These results are consistent with our impression that Wednesday's announcement is now largely discounted to represent an 'easing event'. With the data improving, treasury yields below 'equilibrium', current coupon 30-yr mortgage yields at all-time lows, and discussions on policy easing shifting to ways to support the improvement in the housing market more directly, such expectations may be disappointed, in our view.
It's too early yet to declare that Goldman is officially "wrong" on this, of course, but the timing is not good. And Bill Gross and many others could write Goldman Sachs a long, sad song about the pain of saying bad things about Treasurys. It's like a mummy's curse or something.
The Fed just extended its promise to keep rates low at least through late 2014, or roughly two years after the scheduled Mayan apocalypse.
The old promise was to keep rates near zero through mid-2013.
The stock market is feeling pretty OK about that promise, because hooray free money forever. This is a slightly longer free-money promise than what the market had priced in, maybe — fed funds futures had expected the first rate hike in mid-2014.
The Dow was recently down only 4 points, the S&P has flipped green and the Nasdaq is up about 20 points.
The 10-year Treasury note's yield dropped to 1.97%, and the 5-year note yield completely fell off the table, down to 0.78% from 0.9% before the release.
There was one dissenter from the decision — Jeffrey Lacker doesn't like all this business of putting a time frame on the low-rate promise.
"This is QE 2.5," Bill Gross said on CNBC, where he has a summer home.
Focus now turns to the Fed and what Ben Bernanke & Co. have in store regarding interest-rate projections and potentially new rounds of stimulus.
The FOMC statement is due at 12:30 p.m. ET, with the Bernanke press conference expected to follow afterward.
Fed's official stance on the current low interest-rate environment is that it will continue at least through mid-2013. Most market participants believe the Fed will extend that at least through 2014. More specific plans for such action will be detailed this afternoon.
If the projected time for such a move gets extended, stocks could react favorably, as they did when the Fed initially put a time stamp on its interest-rate policy.
To be sure, predicting how stocks will react after an FOMC statement is always tricky. The market has tended to be pretty volatile on these types of days.
Since Dec. 2008, which was the last the Fed shifted its stance on interest rates, the S&P 500 has averaged a 0.4% gain on FOMC days, according to Birinyi Associates. And the index has risen 65% of the time.
But the previous few moves have been staggering without exhibiting any clear-cut patterns.

Bond bulls, time to fasten your seatbelts.
Guy Haselmann, head of US interest rate strategy at Bank of Nova Scotia, says Treasurys could be in for a "rough" day because seeing the FOMC's longer-run interest-rate targets could be "unsettling."
His rationale? The Fed will release its longer-run targets of where members believe the neutral fed-funds target rate will eventually go. Market participants may get "spooked" when they see that this rate is at a level well above the current level of 0% to 0.25%.
This could cause "a significant backup in yields for the balance of the week," he says.
"It would not be unreasonable" to see the 10-year note's yield shooting up above 2.25% in short order, he says.
He adds that "the risk-reward for today, and the balance of the week, leans in favor of being short Treasurys." [Goldman Sachs thanks him — ed.]
The 10-year yield was recently flat at 2.062%, despite declines in stocks and the euro.
The leader of the Dallas Fed doesn't think much of Bill Gross, leader of bond fund giant Pimco.
In the transcript for the October 2006 FOMC meeting, Fisher said "I've known Gross for 20 years, and I know he's an oddball. Actually, I'd like that word struck from the record," Fisher said to laughter.
That led Michael Moskow, then leader of the Chicago Fed to say "What do you want to substitute?"
Fisher responded "he's increasingly addled, but his words do carry weight."
[It's true that Gross's investor letters are, shall we say, eye-opening, but Fisher is turning out to be a bit of a quote-machine today, too. — ed.]
The just-released transcripts from the Fed's 2006 policy meetings are turning out to be comedy gold.
Eddy Elfenbein has already rounded up a bunch of gems, showing policy makers joking around while the economy began to slip into a face-melting financial crisis.
And Cardiff Garcia focuses on Tim Geithner looking particularly obsequious.
But of maybe more-pertinent interest for future historians are the remarks that show how dismissive these policy makers were about the disaster forming right below their feet.

Apparently the central bank itself is a winner financially on its unconventional monetary policy.
Raymond Stone, analyst at research firm Stone & McCarthy, notes that during 2011 the Fed paid the Treasury $76.9 billion of its profits, following a record $79.3 billion in calendar year 2010.
Citing the Fed's preliminary financial results for the calendar year 2011, Stone notes the Fed had $83.6 billion in interest income generated from the System Open Market Account, which contains the Treasurys and other bonds acquired by the Fed from open market operations, up from $82.9 billion in 2010.
And additional income for the Fed is $2.3 bln generated from the sale of Treasury securities, $152 mln in foreign currency gains, and $479 mln in income from services provided, he says in a report.
New Kansas City Fed President Esther George has found a way to stand out from the crowd of talking Fed heads this week: Bubble identification!
George had some fairly hawkish things to say today, in the context of discussing the risks of the Fed's extraordinary policy moves lately:
Policy choices that attempt to speed improvement in the housing and labor markets can be attractive given these circumstances. But this desire must be traded off against the need to foster long-term stability within our financial sector.

We've heard of the old market saw about not fighting the Fed, but this is a bit ridiculous.
Since the Federal Reserve's open market committee began announcing its interest-rate decisions after meetings in 1994, excess returns on US stocks have been more than 30 times larger on the day the FOMC announces its interest-rate decisions than other days, according to a research paper from the New York Fed — and FOMC days are the only days that show a material trend.
"Primary dealers," those 21 lucky banks that answered the Old Bridge Troll's questions correctly and were granted the right to do business directly with the Fed, see QE3 coming and don't see the Fed raising rates for at least two years.
That's according to the results of a new survey of primary dealers by the New York Fed.
Primary dealers, on average, assign a 45% chance of a Fed interest-rate increase in the second quarter of 2014. Before that, the chances of a rate increase are never higher than 15%.

The Fed's decision to start publishing expected targets for the Fed funds rate may have been greeted with a shrug among stock traders, but it's a potentially important development in the bond market.
By publishing rate expectations the Fed will be inserting itself more directly into the shape of the yield curve and how prices for longer-dated Treasurys are set.
This move by the Fed is just the latest in an evolving process. It used to be that the Fed only signaled what it was doing in the present and left it entirely up to the bond market to price for what may happen down the road. Then, following the financial crisis, they shifted to the "extended period" language for keeping rates low, and then, more recently, to a rough date, such as "mid 2013."

6 years ago I spent two weeks in bed & 4 weeks out of work with cranial shingles. It took 6 months to feel back in the game and I still have to manage the symptoms. Culprit-stress! I was only 43. I have taken several steps to reduce & manage stress. Besides a better diet, more exercise, & reduced commute days by working from home more, enough SLEEP has been critical. I even track my sleep in "other goals" on SP. 8 hours/night at least 5 nights/week & no less than 7 on the other 2.

I would like to commend Dominon Power and its work crews for their performance on the afternoon of last Sunday. Considering the horrific mess caused by a fire at the Churchville transfer system, it is impressive that electric power was restored to our community as soon as it was.
When I called the Dominion service number, digital messages projected that power would be restored by 6 p.m., and lights came back on at about 5:45. Whoever was responsible was on the ball that afternoon. Thank you.

Sometimes football players get a bad rap and are portrayed as young men who are selfish and self-absorbed.
Those stereotypes were disproved in a big way Thursday when Cumberland University football players stepped up to help a local agency move to a new home.
Players Tyler Emmetts, Elvin Vann, James Jefferson, Anthony Bartolomeo, Mario Hill, Michael Self and Dylan Crews, along with head coach Donnie Suber were hard at work Thursday to help move the Wilson County HomeSafe office to a new location in Lebanon.
HomeSafe is the only agency in Sumner, Wilson and Robertson counties to provide comprehensive, free and confidential services for survivors of domestic violence. They are also the only non-governmental agency in the county that responds 24 hours a day, year round when desperate survivors need help.
Sarrina ViAnne' Arsenault, director of the Wilson County HomeSafe agency said she had an inside track to get the players to use their muscles for a good cause.
"I'm a CU alumnus," she said. "I was aware the CU Athletic Department encourages athletes to do community service. I called and begged them to help."
The Wilson County HomeSafe office, which was in a house off Highway 231, was forced to move when the house was sold.
"I started in March, and I knew the house was on the market, but I thought I had plenty of time," Arsenault said. "I found out last Friday that it had sold."
The new office will be at 107 N. Greenwood St. in Lebanon. The director said the new facility would not be used as a shelter.
"Most of our clients were walk-ins," she said, adding the agency helps domestic violence survivors find resources from food to furniture to a place to live.
"We provide all the information they need to keep themselves safe," Arsenault said. "They know we are available to help with everything from housing to job references."
She knows the world can be a scary place for these victims, usually women, many of whom also have children to worry about. Leaving an abusive relationship is difficult and dangerous for these women.
"The most dangerous time is when they leave," she said. "The individual has to make the decision to leave."
On top of helping survivors, the agency must keep a close eye on every penny. That's where the CU players come in. By helping move the agency for free, they made it possible for the money that would have been spent on movers to be used to help desperate people. The effort also leaves the players with the pride that accompanies helping out with a good cause.
"I feel good about helping out," Emmetts said as the last items were loaded up. "I like doing good deeds and I like helping people out who are in dire situations. I'm glad I can make a difference."
For Suber, it is doing more than molding good players; it's about molding good men.
"That's why we have always done anything we can to help the community," he said.
"I so proud that my school requires athletes to help out in the community," Arsenault said. "It was amazing."
If you are experiencing domestic violence and want to reach out for help, call the Wilson County HomeSafe office 615-444-6581. For more information about the agency, visit homesafetn.org.

|Auction Fever: Exploring Informational Social Influences on Bidder Choices.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21192763 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Abstract Previous investigations of herd behavior have identified the importance of informational social influences in consumer decision making. This research presents three studies examining herd behavior in online auctions. The three studies addressed the influence on bidder online choices of herd cues frequently found in online auctions, including bid number, feedback ratings, and number of questions and answers. This research also investigated the effect of different levels of herd cues on bidder online choices under high and low brand awareness in online auctions. The experimental results demonstrated that bidders use online herd cues when making decisions in online auctions. Additionally, different levels of herd cues influence bidder online choices in both high and low brand awareness product situations.

It's no secret that Adele has been "confirmed" as singing the themesong for new James Bond film 'Skyfall' - and now sources have apparently got their hands on a snippet of the lyrics!
Award-winning singer Adele is said to be lending her vocals to Daniel Craig's latest movie stint as James Bond - and her song for 'Skyfall' is (perhaps unsurprisingly) suggested to be titled 'Let The Sky Fall'.
Sources at Showbiz 411 have announced that they have already listened to a snippet of the track, which is believed to be scheduled for release in the first week of October.
And the sneaky little whatsits apparently had a pen and paper handy as they wrapped their ears around the song, as they've released what they've dubbed the lyrics for the chorus:
"Let the sky fall/Let it crumble / We will stand tall / And face it all / together."
"This is the end / Hold your breath and count to ten / Feel the Earth move and then / Hear my heart burst again."
Really? We don't want to say too much at this stage - especially if these turn out to be genuine - but we do think those rhymes leave little to the imagination.
However, with Adele's powerful voice behind them, those words could definitely become far more intense than they seem on
paper the screen.
The writer at 411 goes onto describe the song as "an ominous, dramatic ballad, with lots of gorgeous horn flourishes peeking out through Adele's now trademark vocals. It's also fresh, new, and original."
We guess we'll just have to wait for the official release of the track to see if these lyrics are real; we're counting down the days!

HARRISBURG — The leader of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board on Wednesday offered 10 proposals to lawmakers to modernize the board's operations.
The Liquor Control Board operates the state-run liquor stores in the state. Joseph Conti, the board's chief executive officer, appeared before the Pennsylvania Senate Law and Justice Committee Wednesday to offer suggestions for improvement in an effort to stave off a move to privatize the stores launched by state Rep. Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, the Majority Caucus Leader.
Moves to expand service
State Sen. John Pippy, R-Allegheny, chairman of the Senate Law and Justice Committee, said such a proposal in the midst of a session working on a "no-tax" budget would require more discussion.
Trip Ruvane, owner of the Barley Creek Brew Co. in Tannersville, doubts liquor stores being open on Sunday would significantly impact beer pubs.
Moves to increase penalties and handling costs

|Leader-based and self-organized communication: Modelling group-mass recruitment in ants.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22884918 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|For collective decisions to be made, the information acquired by experienced individuals about resources' location has to be shared with naïve individuals through recruitment. Here, we investigate the properties of collective responses arising from a leader-based recruitment and a self-organized communication by chemical trails. We develop a generalized model based on biological data drawn from Tetramorium caespitum ant species of which collective foraging relies on the coupling of group leading and trail recruitment. We show that for leader-based recruitment, small groups of recruits have to be guided in a very efficient way to allow a collective exploitation of food while large group requires less attention from their leader. In the case of self-organized recruitment through a chemical trail, a critical value of trail amount has to be laid per forager in order to launch collective food exploitation. Thereafter, ants can maintain collective foraging by emitting signal intensity below this threshold. Finally, we demonstrate how the coupling of both recruitment mechanisms may benefit to collectively foraging species. These theoretical results are then compared with experimental data from recruitment by T. caespitum ant colonies performing group-mass recruitment towards a single food source. We evidence the key role of leaders as initiators and catalysts of recruitment before this leader-based process is overtaken by self-organised communication through trails. This model brings new insights as well as a theoretical background to empirical studies about cooperative foraging in group-living species.

No radiation released from weak spot at Beaver County nuclear plant
Weak spots in welds on reactor vessel heads like the one found at a Beaver County nuclear power plant have been a problem for the industry since the 1980s.
But a Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman said Wednesday the problem at Beaver Valley Power Station Unit 2 in Shippingport "doesn't rise to the level where we would do additional inspection work."
On a national scale, the commission continues to investigate the effect of what it calls "primary water stress corrosion cracking" on pressurized water reactors, especially as plants continue to age.
The metal alloy used in the welds on older reactors was susceptible to corrosion, experts said.
"The NRC is continuing to look at that issue," spokesman Neil Sheehan said. "In the meantime, we expect plant owners to look at their vessel heads as often as possible."
A spokeswoman for FirstEnergy, which operates the plant, said company inspectors found the weak spot in one of 66 welds on the reactor vessel head at Beaver Valley Power Station Unit 2 during a regularly scheduled refueling and testing process.
No radiation was released, FirstEnergy and the commission both said.
The corrosion problems at nuclear power plants have cost the industry "at least $10 billion in the last 30 years because of forced and extended outages, increased inspection requirements, and component repairs and replacements," according to the Electric Power Research Institute, a California nonprofit that conducts research and development relating to the generation, delivery and use of electricity.
The average age of U.S. commercial reactors is about 32 years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
U.S. commercial nuclear reactors are licensed to operate for 40 years by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission but can apply for 20-year extensions.
The commission began in 1991 to establish a series of recommendations for inspecting the welds at pressurized water plants that culminated in 2003 with establishing specific inspection requirements.
First Energy detected the microscopic spot on the Beaver Valley vessel head Saturday through ultrasound and other testing, said Jennifer Young, spokeswoman for FirstEnergy.
The plant, which shut down for routine refueling Sept. 24, was licensed by the NRC in 1987.
FirstEnergy is replacing 65 of the 157 fuel assemblies and inspecting the reactor vessel head during the shutdown. The weak spot was not detected during the last inspection 18 months ago, Young said.
The weak spot will be fixed with a stronger alloy weld. The reactor vessel head is scheduled to be replaced in 2017.
The company would not say when the plant will reopen.

DALLAS -- Heavy rains brought minor street flooding, washed out some Fourth of July parades and fireworks shows and prompted more weather warnings across Texas Wednesday.
A total of 148 of the state's 254 counties were under either flash flood watches, flash flood warnings, flood warnings or a combination of watches and warnings Wednesday night.
Corpus Christi recorded 3.48 inches of rain by 6 PM Wednesday, more than enough to force cancellation of the city's annual Fourth of July parade.
A fireworks show was postponed until tomorrow. Corpus Christi had almost 10 inches of rain on Monday.

MCEA filed suit in May 2013 challenging the DNR's preliminary approval of a major expansion at the U.S. Steel Minntac mine in Mountain Iron, Minnesota. The suit alleges that the expansion should not go forward until the DNR and Minntac have identified solutions to deal with pollution problems at the current facility that have been ongoing for years.
The proposed mine expansion would allow this mine to continue operation until 2031. But U.S. Steel Minntac has a history of water pollution and permit violations that has gone on for decades without effective oversight from state regulators. MCEA is asking that the DNR identify concrete steps that U.S. Steel can take to address its ongoing pollution problems before it allows the mine to expand.
Sulfate is among the pollutants that U.S. Steel Minntac is known to produce. Sulfate is harmful to wild rice, and the once-abundant wild rice harvests in lakes around the Minntac operation have all but disappeared in recent years. Also, mercury poses a significant public health hazard after it is exposed to sulfates. Lakes and rivers around the Minntac operation are polluted for both sulfates and mercury. Despite over a decade of side agreements with the State of Minnesota to try to improve conditions at the mine, nearby waters are still polluted.
In a disappointing ruling, the Minnesota Court of Appeals held that a water permit that had expired long ago -- in 1992! -- was sufficient to protect northern Minnesota's waters from pollution as an iron mine expands. U.S. Steel's Minntac facility has, over the last 30 years, generated significant water pollution and caused surrounding streams and lakes to exceed water quality standards. When U.S. Steel sought to expand its current mine, MCEA asked DNR to order a full Environmental Impact Statement to study the water pollution problems and identify strategies to eliminate it before the facility was allowed to expand. DNR refused, and MCEA asked the Court of Appeals to review the decision. The Court sided with DNR. Click to read the decision of the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
The ability of DNR to effectively regulate the mining industry -- and the court's apparent willingness to rely on the agency -- are concerning, particularly as industry now seeks to bring sulfide mining to northern Minnesota. As demonstrated elsewhere throughout the country, sulfide mining has the potential for enormous amounts of water pollution. MCEA will continue its vigilance to protect Minnesota's pristine waters from these impacts.

MCEA submitted comments to the Army Corps of Engineers on the U.S. Steel-Minntac facility, located near Virginia. U.S. Steel disposes of its byproducts in an 8000-acre area called a tailings basin, which is leaking thousands of gallons per minute to groundwater and nearby lakes and rivers. U.S. Steel is applying for a 404 permit to construct a collection system to collect some of this water, but MCEA believes that there are better solutions for this problematic site. MCEA has asked the Army Corps to consider other, potentially more effective options before U.S. Steel can proceed.

Essar Steel:
MCEA filed suit against the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and Essar Steel (formerly Minnesota Steel Industries) in September 2007, arguing that the environmental impact statement prepared for the proposed open-pit taconite mine and steel mill near Nashwauk was flawed because it did not look seriously at the project's global warming implications. MCEA also pointed out that the EIS didn't consider possible alternatives to reduce the amount of emissions that would be generated by the mine and steel mill.
Itasca District Court Judge Jon Maturi ruled in October that the DNR had "minimally satisfied" the rules in the environmental impact statement it prepared, which disappointed MCEA. Judge Maturi opined that the state's existing environmental review law isn't sufficiently developed to consider climate change. In his ruling, he stated that the law "does not seem to be up to the task of analyzing how greenhouse gas emissions from projects like MSI should be accounted for on the local, regional, state, national, and even global scale." MCEA appealed the decision to the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled against MCEA in September 2009, saying that the DNR had done a sufficient job of analyzing the global warming pollution from the plant. However, MCEA saw the decision as a partial victory because for the first time, a court accepted the idea that Minnesota's environmental review laws extend to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.

The 600.000share holdin by f9 entertainment was part of deal when griptonite was taken over by gluu.
They bought the company out for over 6.000000 shares in glue.
As part of the deal 600.000were held in an escrow account and would be released to the parties if they met certain performance targets.which obviously they did and they were released to them in nov last year and were reported on last week.

But on closer inspection of the sec form ,I notice that they mention an earlier holding of aug 9th 2011
I was then left with the impression that they were updating the market as to what's left of their holding.

Weeden debuts with four picks
Associated Press
Brandon Weeden ducked for cover before the Eagles even rushed him.
A giant American flag sacked him first.
Weeden threw four interceptions in a rough NFL debut for the rookie quarterback, and Cleveland's defense couldn't stop Michael Vick on a final touchdown drive in the fourth quarter as Philadelphia rallied for a 17-16 win on Sunday, handing the Browns their 13th loss in 14 season openers since 1999.
Vick's 4-yard TD pass to tight end Clay Harbor with 1:18 left dashed the hopes of the Browns, who opened the year with low expectations and a roster with 15 rookies. But for nearly 59 minutes, Cleveland had a Super Bowl contender in major trouble before Vick rescued his teammates from an embarrassing loss.
"It stings," Weeden said. "It's going to sting for a few days, but I'm not going to let it get to me."
Weeden's day started on a comical note as he got trapped under a 100-yard-long flag being unfurled across the field for the national anthem. As he was warming up, the colossal U.S. flag was carried out, and before he knew what had happened, Weeden found himself scrambling on the ground.
"I was expecting to get a little warning," Weeden said. "I was playing catch. I always stand on the 35 or 40-yard line. Next thing I know there's about a 100-yard flag over the top of me. I sat on my hands and knees and kind of waited — me and one of the equipment managers. I looked at him and said, 'This (stinks).' "
The rest of his day didn't go much better.
Weeden finished 12 of 35 for 118 yards, had the four picks and forced several throws. He was never able to get into a rhythm and was victimized by at least a few drops.
"I take a lot of pride in playing better than that," Weeden said. "Our defense gave us every chance to win and offensively, myself included, took away from that. I'm down right now."
Trailing 16-10, Vick marched the Eagles 91 yards for the go-ahead score on his career-high 56th pass. Before that, the superstar played poorly and showed major rustiness after getting just 12 snaps during the exhibition season because of injuries.
But when it mattered most, Vick came through, and the Eagles, who hurt themselves with five turnovers and 12 penalties, prevailed.
"I wasn't going to disappoint my coaches and I wasn't going to disappoint my teammates," Vick said. "Whatever it took, I was going to get it done."
Vick went 29 of 56 for 317 yards and threw two TDs, but the second came after a stroke of luck.
One play before his TD pass to Harbor, Vick underthrew Jeremy Maclin and was nearly intercepted by Browns rookie linebacker L.J. Fort, who let the ball and game slip through his hands.
"He threw it right to me," said Fort, who picked Vick off in the first half. "I should have made that play, definitely."
The Browns had one last chance, but Weeden's pass over the middle for Mohamed Massaquoi was intercepted by Kurt Coleman with 1:05 remaining.
The Browns gave the game away as usual.
Hey Steeler fans watch what you say,the Browns lost 17-16,you got thumped 31-19.
As a Browns fan, we need not worry about Pittsburgh or anyone else. The Browns were 4-12 last year and probably will be WORSE this year. Pittsburgh has SIX RINGS and the Browns have NEVER been to a Super Bowl. The motto never changes for Browns fans...............
"GET 'Em NEXT YEAR."
The defense played OK, but couldn't come through in the clutch, giving up that 91-yard drive for the winning score. Nothing new about the offense. Pretty inept, especially in or near the "red zone." Must make a statement in the division with a win in Cincinnati.
@z123go--Informative article from wiki for those too young to remember.However, they neglected to mention that the Browns did win a Super Bowl. They won it shortly after leaving Cleveland and relocating to Baltimore. Regardless of what you call the team that currently plays in Cleveland, they are not the Browns. They are an expansion team that replaced the Browns. Allowing them to be called the Browns was a scam perpetrated by the NFL to appease the gullible fans of NE Ohio.
Let's Go Patriots..............
Ozzie Newsome and his Baltimore Browns looked unbeatable tonight. If Cleveland would have given Art Modell the new stadium that they gave this hideous expansion team, the Browns would still be playing their home games off the shores of Lake Erie.
Why back a team that continues to lose? The Browns have not won any titles in nearly 50 years!
The Browns are "rebuilding."
"With the 1st overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns are going to end the career of......"
"GET 'Em NEXT YEAR."
More good news for the Browns!! Joe haden just lost his appeal and must start serving his 4-game suspension this week.
"GET 'Em NEXT YEAR!!"

Cheering at every Bengals' game is child's play for Chucky doll and his family
Kent and Jenny Davis took him on the road and PBS
CINCINNATI - The Bengals had to work hard to sell out Sunday's playoff game with the San Diego Chargers, but they can count on one family to be in the front row – not just at Paul Brown Stadium, but at every road game this season, too.
Kent and Jenny Davis have the most traveled Chucky doll in the NFL.
"Our daughter is very jealous of Chucky," said Jenny. "Chucky got his own stocking this year."
People get the wrong idea about the Davises, Kent said. They're not jetsetters.
"People will say, 'Those folks are millionaires. Not the case," Kent said.
"We work hard for our money and we don't vacation in the summer or anything. (Traveling to Bengals games) is what we use our vacation money for."
The pair didn't start the season expecting to be at every Bengals game, but they say this year's team is special, and after traveling on the first two road trips, they just couldn't stop.
"It's just the energy on the field - the energy among the players. You could see something was special this year," Kent said, "and that's why we kept going."
Chucky went to his first NFL game in Tampa Bay when Jon Gruden, the brother of Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, was the Buccaneers' head coach.
When Jay signed with the Bengals, Chucky was back in the game.
Chucky has become a celebrity.
"He's been on Thursday Night Football, Sunday Night, Monday Night, so he's been around. It's all in fun," Kent said.
The Davises make it a point to sit in the front row so they can be close to the team. Bengals defensive lineman Domata Peko has taken notice.
"Domata always finds us at the games and his big thing is to pat Chucky on the head for luck, so he got a double pat at the last game," Kent said.
"He didn't get to pat him in Pittsburgh, and we all now how that went."
Chucky usually doesn't have much trouble getting into stadiums without a ticket, but he almost was not allowed to see the game in Miami.
"They had security concerns about him. That got resolved by going to another gate," Kent laughed.
While being on the road is fun, the Davises say there is nothing better than being with the rest of Bengals fans at Paul Brown Stadium.
"The home games are what's special to us, and to go undefeated at home, (that's) absolutely amazing," Kent said.
The Davises say they hope to continue their streak to the Super Bowl in New Jersey but they don't expect to go to all of the away games next year. They are hoping to make it to London and to Hawaii for the Pro Bowl.

I downloaded CVS archive. When I unzipped it I see all file names are appended by ',v' . It seems they are CVS version files and not actual files. Does anyone have idea how to get actual files?
Kent Dahl
cvs -d /path/to/extracted/cvs/files checkout cppunit
…or something like that. But I think you would be just as well off doing a direct checkout from the anonymous CVS access.
Baptiste Lepilleur
I think you picked up the wrong download. I think it is a backup from before the migration from CVS to Subversion. It is unlikely that it is what you want.
nikos yiotis
Hi, I'm looking for the latest source version. The one I got is the SVN migration archive -> cppunit-cvs-repo-archive.
Any hints blep? cheers
I'm having the same problem. Who owns this download (and can fix it)?

Obama eligibility lawyer cites dangers from delays
Posted By Bob Unruh On 05/19/2009 @ 8:18 pm In Front Page | Comments Disabled
An attorney handling one of the many lawsuits challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to occupy the Oval Office is urging a court to deny a demand from a lawyer for the president for still more time to answer simple questions such as whether Obama was born in Hawaii, citing the dangers of having an president many identify as a "usurper" in office.
"Whether or not the president of the United States is eligible for the office he currently occupies is of utmost national important," wrote attorney Mario Apuzzo of New Jersey in a motion opposing Obama's request for more time.
"Every passing day Mr. Obama takes executive action, that significantly impacts on the lives of Americans," he continued.
"It can be argued that Mr. Obama is currently the most powerful human being on the planet. He could conceivably end all life on earth in a single day. Every executive action that Mr. Obama takes impacts not only the plaintiffs but also every other American," he said in the legal document submitted in the court case yesterday.
Apuzzo filed his lawsuit in January on behalf of Charles F. Kerchner Jr., Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr.
The action names as defendants Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Where's the proof Barack Obama was born in the U.S. or that he fulfills the "natural-born American" clause in the Constitution? If you still want to see it, join more than 370,000 others and sign up now!
Apuzzo told WND that while it may be good strategy on the part of a defense lawyer for Obama to delay answering such questions as long as possible, the American people also are impacted by the case every day in which there is not a resolution.
He outlines in the document that while ordinary court rules require answers to such lawsuits within 60 days, in this case the actions of the defense lawyer probably will generate a delay of 124 days – or more – for Obama's answers.
Apuzzo told WND the first issue is simple: Was Obama born in Hawaii as he has said? The second question seeking a definition of "natural born" citizen is more complicated.
WND reported earlier on the request submitted by Ralph Marra Jr., the acting U.S. attorney, and Elizabeth Pascal, the assistant U.S. attorney in New Jersey, that explains that the Department of Justice, operating under Obama appointee Attorney General Eric Holder, still is working on a decision on representation for the defendants.
"The failure to file an answer, move, or to otherwise respond before the expiration of the time specified is not the result of any neglect on any of the Defendants' parts," the court filing said.
"Representation decisions are made by a specialized group of individuals in the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. In order to provide a fair opportunity for the Department to review this matter and to complete the representation determinations, Defendants respectfully request an extension of twenty (20) days from the date of this Order in which to answer, move, or otherwise respond," the court filing said.
WND has reported on dozens of legal challenges to Obama's status as a "natural born citizen." The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born.
Further, others question his citizenship by virtue of his attendance in Indonesian schools during his childhood and question on what passport did he travel to Pakistan three decades ago.
Adding fuel to the fire is Obama's persistent refusal to release documents that could provide answers and the appointment of myriad lawyers to defend against all requests for his documentation. While his supporters cite an online version of a "Certification of Live Birth" from Hawaii as his birth verification, critics point out such documents actually were issued for children not born in the state.
The ultimate questions remain unaddressed to date: Is Obama a natural born citizen, and, if so, why hasn't documentation been provided? And, of course, if he is not, what does it mean to the 2008 election or the U.S. Constitution if it is revealed that there has been a violation?
And the answer could take only minutes: authorization from the president to Hawaiian officials to release his documentation.
Apuzzo, on his website, says the issue "is of utmost national importance."
It is not the first case challenging Obama's eligibility that has run into a stone wall in the court system. A similar situation developed in a California case raising a challenge to Obama's eligibility that was filed on behalf of Ambassador Alan Keyes. The complaint was filed by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation in early November, but it didn't get court action until March, months after the actual election that it challenged.
That case now is on appeal.
The case being handled by Apuzzo focuses on the alleged failure in Congress to follow the Constitution.
That document, the lawsuit states, "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate 'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."
Get the new Whistleblower magazine, called "YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE? Why dozens of lawsuits and millions of Americans want Barack Obama to prove he's constitutionally qualified to be president."
It provides, the lawsuit said, "If the president-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have qualified."
"There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and other concerned Americans regarding Obama's eligibility to be president and defendants had the sworn duty to protect and preserve the Constitution and specifically under the 20th Amendment, Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to confirm whether Obama, once the electors elected him, was qualified," the case explains.
"Congress is the elected representative of the American people and the people speak and act through them," the lawsuit said.
The defendants "violated" the 20th Amendment by failing to assure that Obama meets the eligibility requirements," the lawsuit said.
A state official, Hawaiian Health Director Chiyome Fukino, said, "I, and Dr. Alvin Onaka have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures." But officials have rejected requests for access, saying Obama would have to authorize any access, and left ambiguous its origin: Does the certificate on file with the Department of Health indicate a Hawaii birth or was it generated after the Obama family registered a foreign birth in Hawaii?
Obama's half-sister, Maya Soetoro, has named two different Hawaii hospitals where Obama could have been born.
While an Obama spokesman one time called the allegations "garbage," the president and his team have withheld other comments. But here is a partial listing and status update for some of the cases over Obama's eligibility:
In addition, other cases cited on the RightSideofLife blog as raising questions about Obama's eligibility include:

Entourage: eDGe more comfortable for reading than iPad
updated 04:30 pm EST, Fri February 26, 2010
eDGe delays simplified, to offer 16-hour reading
More information has been gleaned about the Entourage eDGe we had a chance to play with at CES thanks to an interview with the company's President and CEO as well as the VP of Marketing. Speaking to E-ReaderInfo, President Asghar Mostafa and Doug Atkinson have revealed that their device, which has both an E-Ink screen and a traditional LCD, has a 16-hour battery life when operating with the paper screen itself.
When both the LCD and E-ink screen are used in conjunction, or the LCD itself, battery life is set at 6 hours, Atkinson said. This, and the E-Ink display's nature, makes reading on the eDGe much easier than of comparable products, such as Apple's iPad, which exclusively offers an LCD screen.
Atkinson also clarified that the recent delay will have any new orders for the eDGe shipping in March, with those placed by January 12th shipping today.

Breaking wedding suit news
By Jamie Millar 07 December 11
Describing Robert Pattinson's role in Breaking Dawn - Part 1 as "basically just as a prop" could
be considered unfair if it wasn't for the fact that he said it
himself - specifically referring to his role in the big wedding.
"It's such a clear indication of whose day it is when you're
standing on the other end of the aisle and the entire congregation
is looking at the girl, and you're in the same suit as every other
guy in the place just kind of waiting there," the Twilight
multiplex idol proclaimed at the LA press conference in November.
"Any guy who tries to get involved in organising a wedding or even
has an opinion of what their wedding should be is kind of
While Pattinson is clearly not a fan of Don't Tell The Bride, GQ.com would have to take issue with his claim that everyone was looking at Kristen Stewart. The Cullen clan's wedding outfits - black tailcoats and trousers, white waistcoats, shirts and bow ties - were conceived by the film's costume designer Michael Wilkinson and were made by Brioni in Milan. "We put a lot of care and attention into the men's tailoring as well, because I knew there'd be lots of careful deconstructing of that look from our audience," Wilkinson told us. "Getting inside the mind of Alice, who wanted to give Edward the wedding that he's been waiting a hundred years for, we have lots of historic references in the choice of fabrics, lines, silhouettes and details. But we really wanted it to be appealing to a contemporary audience, so the look isn't too theatrical or old school, but has a nice, young, fresh quality." In other words, deathless style - perfect for a 110-year-old groom who at the same time doesn't look a day over 17...
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 is out now.

Native Stone Museum
The Native Stone Museum built in 1936 is as unique as it is funny looking. The building is constructed with "Crab Orchard" stone which is only found in Cumberland County Tennessee. No other place in the world but right here.
The Crab Orchard Stone company built the building to demonstrate the various ways Crab Orchard Stone could be used as a building material.
The coming of roads and railroads opened up the possibilities of commercial quarrying of Crab Orchard stone and now you find the stone in government buildings, schools, and churches in every state in the USA and many foreign countries.
The stone building was first a Tennessee Highway Patrol building until 1954. The Cumberland Centennial Committee used it as an office during the Centenial celebration. It was then the office for the DeRossett Insurance company and later still a downtown ticket office for the Cumberland County Playhouse. Recently, it was once again a Tennessee Highway Patrol building.
Today, it is on the National Register of Historic Places and a museum about our native stone industry operated by Downtown Crossville, Inc. The museum is open to the public and has a small gift shop.
