They haven't gone anywhere else that I can see; not in junk or deleted sections. A few days before then it was a bit erratic, sometimes I'd get one or two, but never all the notifications that should have come through. I'm getting notifications from other sites I'm a member of so it's not a general fault. Anyone else having this problem?

Fathers play active role in their children's education
October 2, 2013
DUPONT, Wash. - On a Friday night, when most people would be relaxing at home after a long week of work and planning the weekend ahead, more than 160 dads, most of them military, gathered at Chloe Clark Elementary School in DuPont, Wash., to learn about the WATCH Dads Of Great Students program Sept. 27.
WATCH DOGS program is an initiative that provides positive male role models by organizing fathers and father figures to spend time with students while enhancing school security. The program, which started in 1998 as one father's desire to increase male involvement in his children's school, has spread to more than 2,811 schools in 46 states.
Before getting briefed on the program and their possible involvement in upcoming school activities, dads spent a little time getting acclimatized to the school atmosphere by eating in the cafeteria with their children.
"By being here you are letting your kids know that they are priority, their education and safety is priority," said Jason Pierce, Chloe Clark WATCH DOGS coordinator.
As a father of five, Maj. Jackson Drumgoole, force manager, I Corps, got involved while he was stationed in Georgia and has participated in the program for six years.
"Just being involved in my children's education helped my oldest son graduate high school two years early," he said. "Most schools expect mothers to come to the school, but they respect a father who comes and gets involved."
By participating, these men demonstrate through their presence the importance of education while providing an extra set of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.
WATCH DOGS volunteers have the opportunity to work on flash cards with students, play at recess, eat lunch with students, watch the school entrances and hallways, assist with traffic flow and any other activities assigned by the lead director.
"Since the start of the program, hundreds of thousands of fathers and father figures have been present in our nation's classrooms and hallways," Pierce said. "WATCH DOGS has created millions of 'in school' volunteer hours and continues to have a tremendously positive impact on the educational process."
According to Pierce, the fathers who volunteer in the program get a glimpse of their student's everyday environment and witness the increasingly complex challenges and decisions faced by today's youth. As a result, they learn to relate and connect better to their student.
According to the National Fatherhood Initiative, a U.S. based nonprofit organization that aims to improve the well-being of children through the promotion of responsible fatherhood, a father's involvement in school is associated with the higher likelihood of a student getting mostly A's, and at the same time may decrease the child's probability of living in poverty.
"The rate of fatherless children in the student population today varies from 35-75 percent," Pierce said. "The U.S. Department of Education has identified the program as an effective way to increase male involvement in our nation's schools."
Drumgoole, a native of Augusta, Ga., said that participating in this program is a simple and easy way to join a huge team effort in contributing to tomorrow's generation.

With extensive field-testing over a three-year development cycle, NanoNet advanced filtration media is the latest in the Fleetguard fuel product lineup. Engineered to deliver unmatched protection and superior uptime for customers using revolutionary manufacturing technology, NanoNet media is a major leap forward over competitive media in several ways.
The first of its kind for fuel filtration, NanoNet has the capability for increased filtration efficiency while also extending filter life beyond the capacities of conventional premium fuel filter media available on the commercial market today. Trapping 98.7 percent of all particles as small as 4 microns (12 times smaller than the smallest particle visible to the human eye) means that NanoNet is ten times more effective at hard particle removal than the next best competitive product—Fleetguard's own StrataPore media.
Cummins Filtration's unique "Seeing is Believing®" filter clear cover technology lets you see the fuel filter and shows when the filter needs changing. Fuel level is low on a new filter and as it is used the fuel level rises to show how much filter life remains. You know when NOT to change your Fuel Pro® filter, Diesel Pro® filter, and Industrial Pro™ filter thus reducing filtration costs, reducing maintenance costs, and much more. They can be used with conventional Diesel fuel, JP-5, JP-8, and Jet-A fuel. Available single housing units are rated for fuel flows up to 200 GPH (757 LPH), 180 GPH (681 LPH), 90 GPH (341 LPH), and 60 GPH (230 LPH) providing best-in-class filtration and fuel/water separation.

Running on Saturday and extra stuff
View TUBJUMPER's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from TUBJUMPER
Monday, January 14, 2013
This past Saturday I ran 7.14 of 7.71 miles. I did better by 6 minutes than Tuesday on the same route. Not bad for not running most of December! But it was probably the brightest thing to do twice in a week. When I got done there was a pain in the outside edge of my foot almost directly below my ankle bone. It hurt to walk especially if I lost my balance and put to much pressure on that side. Wrapping it made it worse so I used Capzasin gel on it. It has gotten better. Today I can walk easier. I don't have to walk on my tiptoes anymore.
Sundays are my day off so that worked well but today I should have done something and I didn't. I lounged around all day with my DH ( an extra day with him is an unexpected treat).
I was at mile 4 1/2 and this guy goes blowing past me, I'm slow so anything faster than 4 mph is fast, scared me so bad I screamed!! LOL.. I had my earbuds in and didn't hear him coming. I normal don't see anyone running on my routes its a once in a blue moon kind of thing since I live in the middle of nowhere.
Also I had to stop and take pictures of me running on January 12 in 55 degree weather. I will have to download it from my phone later and add it to this post.
I was reading articles today from Runner's World magazine and they said that females running more than 20 miles a week messes with their hormones. So maybe I need to only train for my 1/2 only once a year instead of twice because I am bored and need a goal to keep focused on. Maybe the scale will move. I also need to do measurements again, it has been awhile and I know that non scale victory's count and I should not depend on the scale!!!!

Fairholme Should Win Discovery in District Court vs Treasury/FHFA
- Posted by ToddSullivan
- on March 6th, 2014
This is pending in the DC District Court, $FAIRX has already won discovery in the DC Court of Federal Claims in the cases of $FNMA $FNMAS
As you read through this motion, it is really quite stunning. I've gone ahead and marked it up for you to make is easier…
FHFA produced 4300 pages for this case….only 25 were previously not public and they ADMIT they did not keep an administrative record in their actions here. This is unfathomable that a gov't agency dealing with the issues it was dealing with kept no record……none.
If you throw out every other argument here, just this fact along give the Judge a reason to permit discovery
Further releasing only 25 previously non public documents is laughable. For the record, Treasury was better, releasing 205 of 4200 pages that were previously not public…..but it is still pathetic.
This is a slap in the face to the entire process and proof either the gov't just assumes they will win, or has a hell of a lot to hide here. My guess it is a little of both.
The entire case from the gov't still boils down to "we said we could do what we did so this case should be thrown out". It's absurd.
Plaintiffs claim that FHFA and Treasury worked together in placing the bet worth sweep in place and thus FHFA breached its fiduciary duty thus the sweep is invalid (boiled down to the most simple).
The gov't response is "no we didn't…case over". They produced no documentation to back this claim at all……not anything. Check that, they produced one affidavit from a Mr. Ugoletti (council at FHFA) that states the action taken at FHFA were entirely appropriate. The only issue here is that this affidavit was dated two month AFTER the suit was filed….rendering is useless at best.
I fully expect Fairholme to be victorious here
Here is the motion and the proposed order:

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A demolition plan was approved Thursday night for a historic part of downtown Augusta, but it needs to come back with a post-demolition plan.
Earlier this year, the dental building near 12th and Broad Street burned for hours.
A structural engineer who analyzed the property said the post-demolition plan could include the total building or just the inside. On Thursday night, Augusta Historic Preservation Commission, part of the Planning Commission, gave the owner of the building 90 days to come up with a plan and said they will vote on it.
Original story
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The fate of a historic downtown building could be decided Thursday night.
The dental building near 12th and Broad Street burned for hours in a couple of months ago. Firefighters had to rescue someone from the flames.
The building built in 1896 sustained so much damage it's not even safe to go inside. Officials said it also damaged adjoining buildings.
Historians said this is important because it's a major piece of history on a main road. They said it's almost like getting your front tooth knocked out.
"When the fire happened at the beginning of January, we pretty much were jobless for a little bit," business owner John Guanlao said.
Guanlao owns the Immaculate Ink Tattoo Parlor right next door to the building that caught fire in January. He said he was out of business for at least two months because of water and roof damage. Now, Guanlao's back and his next-door neighbors could be moving.
The owner of the building is requesting permission to demolish this building and came back with a plan of what to do with the space later.
Any building owner in the historic district must have permission to tear down any property, because officials said it could change the landscape in an area of town that already has a few empty store fronts.

text: I put my old (2002) Gary Fisher Tarpon up for sale on craigslist. This guy emailed me and wanted to come by and check out. He shows up, falls in love with it and pays me. Two good things came out of it. 1) I got what I asked for and then some. When he left to go get money, he ran out of gas so it took him a bit longer to come back. So instead of the $175 I was asking, he gave me $180, he said don't worry about the change. 2) We are going riding on Sunday. I told him a couple of buddies were riding the Greenbelt and he should tag along, since he's a beginner he could learn the trails. So not only did I get more than I asked for, I got a new riding buddy! Life's good I have day light savings time to thank for all this good fortune!

These seed grants were funded by Johnson & Johnson and WomanCare Global via the Women Deliver C Exchange Youth Initiative.
By: Ajidagba Emman Babatunde (Tunde), Campus Health & Rights Initiative (Nigeria)
Every year in my home country of Nigeria, there are 6.8 million pregnancies. Approximately one in five of them are unintended. There are 3.4 million people living with HIV/AIDS and 60% of new infections occur among young people ages 15 to 24. One reason for these staggering numbers is the low level of contraceptive use among young people, who encounter socio-cultural barriers that prevent them from accessing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services.
Having worked for over 10 years in the field of young adults' sexual and reproductive health, I have seen firsthand the challenges that young people, particularly those in university settings, confront. They include engaging in risky behaviors like having transactional sex, unprotected sex, and sex with multiple partners, as well as facing the threat of sexual violence.
While increasing attention is being given to adolescents in Nigeria, little or no attention has been given to campus-based youths, a group that is increasing in number, entering university at a younger age, and dwelling in social environments that permit risky sexual health behavior and expose students to reproductive rights violations. Despite the potential that institutions of higher education in Nigeria have to provide program interventions that will cater to the health needs of this large cohort of young people, they have not. By paying more attention to clinical treatments than social dimensions of health and preventive services, like sexual and reproductive health, universities largely leave the responsibility for action to interested individuals and groups.
My project, the Campus Sexual and Reproductive Health Promotion Initiative, is trying to change this. The goal of the project is to promote the uptake of comprehensive and integrated sexual and reproductive health services among young people, ages 15-24, at Nigeria's Obafemi Awolowo University in order to reduce unwanted pregnancy, unsafe abortion, and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. To achieve this, we are:
- Producing materials and holding a campus health forum to educate young people on contraceptives and the risks of unprotected sex.
- Initiating a mobile phone service where sexual and reproductive health information will be sent via SMS on a weekly basis to students who subscribe. Participants will also be able to ask questions and receive instant answers. So far, 2,000 have signed up receive the messages. This is the first program of its kind in a Nigerian university.
- Providing voluntary counseling and HIV testing.
The Campus Sexual and Reproductive Health Promotion Initiative seeks to meet the sexual and reproductive health needs of young adults while also addressing the socio-cultural barriers that university-aged students face by providing youth-focused and youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health information and services in an environment that is accessible to them.

Fees and Expenses Mutual funds provide a number of conveniences to investors, including professional management of investments. In order to provide these services to shareholders, mutual fund companies establish management fees and operating expenses on each of the funds.
Mutual funds are considered either load funds or no-load funds1. A load is simply a sales charge or commission that the fund may charge when you buy or sell shares. A commission charged when you buy a fund is called a front-end load; a charge when you sell is known as a back-end load. No-load funds, on the other hand, don't charge a sales commission if you buy them directly from the fund companies. Other fees and expenses may include:
Management FeeAll funds load and no-load funds alike charge a management fee to cover the costs of managing the fund. Investors don't pay this fee directly; instead, it is calculated into the fund's share price (or NAV) every day. Management fees differ from one fund to another.
Fund Operating ExpensesOperating expenses are charged by most funds to cover the cost to print and mail required materials to shareholders. These fees are in addition to the fund's management fee.
12b-1 Fees12b-1 fees are annual fees that some fund companies charge to cover miscellaneous marketing costs such as advertising and other costs of promoting the fund.
Transaction FeesFunds may institute additional fees to cover transaction costs or to alleviate operating expenses. These fees are assessed against individual shareholders for specific actions. For example, certain funds may have a redemption fee in order to discourage market timing or excessive transactions that may have a negative impact on the fund.
Wells Fargo Advantage Funds® has a wide variety of mutual funds to choose from. Information on fees and expenses is available within each fund's prospectus. If you have additional questions, please contact a representative at 1-800-359-3379, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It's not that the forests are *bad*, maybe just that the scale of their texture is too close to the same size as your mountain ranges. Logically, bumpiness on that scale on a regional/continental map might belong to hills. Here, you seem to be using the "tree symbology via clumpiness" which can work -- but you aren't doing the usual detailing to force a viewer to think of each bump as a tree -- like a rim of tree trunks on the near edge. Would it be much work to try a smaller-grained texture?
Otherwise, the map has a lot going for it; nice work. Are you experimenting with one of the tutorials, or trying your own methods? I don't follow the photorealistic styles enough to recognize the 'standard types' :-).

Heat waves kill more Americans every year than hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and lightning combined, according to the Centers for Disease Control. A recently identified atmospheric pattern may give people a two- to three-week warning that a deadly heat wave threatens to engulf the United States.
National Center for Atmospheric Research scientists observed a particular sequence of five alternating low and high-pressure systems in the atmosphere far above the North Atlantic. When that pattern moved over the continental United States, it increased the chances of a heat wave.
Fall from Space: Foliage Photos
The five high-pressure systems ringed the mid-latitudes of the north like pearls on a necklace moving slowly westward. When that pattern emerged, the United States faced double to quadruple the chance of a serious heat wave after approximately 20 days. The pattern blocked movement in the atmosphere and allowed hot, dry conditions to take hold. For example, the pattern preceded the heat waves and droughts of 1952-54 and 1988.
To discern the pattern, the atmospheric scientists used weather records and atmospheric measurements since 1948. A computer simulation of 12,000 years of U.S. weather supplemented the historical observations.
NEWS: Too Late To Stop Extreme Heat Waves
The results of the weather analysis and simulation will be published in Nature Geoscience.

Awesome: Columbia Trekster diaper bag, because it's a backpack style. No stupid purse straps falling off your shoulder. Fisher Price Rock 'n Play Sleeper (baby is on an incline, not laying flat, so less spit up). Fisher Price Snug-A-Bunny swing (which PLUGS IN! and has the battery-operated option) BebePod with tray/toy- small enough for travel and can be used as high chair! Grace TotBloc- SQUARE shaped play yard for baby who's crawling/playing. Lots of white socks: they match all of baby's cute outfits, plus it makes laundry easier. Waste of money: tummy time mats. A regular blanket with regular toys is better. Plus, some tummy time mats have hard plastic on the sides (where it connects to the hanging toys) and baby bumps his head on it when rolling over. Another waste of money: baby towels. Adorable, but they're too small and thin. Regular-sized towels are way better.posted 01/28/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I thought I needed a bunch of cute clothes for my first baby, come to find out in the first six months cute clothes are a pain! I now just use footed PJ's for night and all day for my babies until about six months. I love having a cute (and convenient) diaper bag! I can't buy clothes because my body is changing so much so I buy diaper bags!posted 01/27/2012 by j.brooks1222
I thought I would use my diaper bag more often then I did. I thought it was sooo important to have one before my son was born. But they are expensive most of the time. and in reality, any bag can be used as a diaper bag.posted 01/27/2012 by brunettebaby996
The thing I used the most was my 3-1 play pen. It has a change table and the attachable crib. I used it almost everyday with my first baby. It was so convenient! Especially when you travel or visit family and friends. I'm still using it now with my 2nd baby. It's a great item to have. What I think is a little useless is too much baby clothes. I pretty much used Pj's for the first 6 months and didn't really get a chance to use all the cute outfits. Seemed like a waste. If people want to buy you clothes, asked for 6-9 months and up.posted 01/28/2012 by imShadz
The best things I got at my baby shower were: diaper genie, bobby pillow, and an infant swing! There are so many different types of swings out there, and I don't think it even matters which one... but having the opportunity to put a small infant down safely for a few minutes to take a shower, use the bathroom, eat something... is priceless.posted 04/13/2012 by katecima
Personally I belive that the diaper geies are an absolute waste of time. They smell horrible and never seem to do its jobs. The most used ( and in my opinion the best ever) gift was my space saver high chair. It takes up no space at all and it is very useful. Your child can eat, sleep and play in it. If you ever need a secure place for your child while you do chore ( clean, cook etc. ) it is perfect. My daughter used it past 2 years old. I gave it to my younger nephew and when my daughters goes to his house she still is ok with using it and she is 3 now.posted 03/06/2012 by CHERRYMAMAS
Hi sweet almost new mommies. :) This post tries to answer WHERE to register and WHAT to register for as well. I have notes on our list about the usefulness of the product - whether it has been never used or a lifesaver and why. I needed this kind of help one year ago and I remember being very stressed about what to buy - it is too overwhelming. Because we are scientists and because I am also obsessive-compulsive about things I care about, we - and here I mean mostly me since hubby was the one who was keeping the fort together when I was losing it and was tearing up overwhelmed by the choices and our lack of general expertise - decided to make it easy but creating only one baby registry with options to add stuff from any retailer out there and with the option to pay the lowest prices. After researching the options we found the best out there to be BabyList. I looked into amazon too but they did categorize things automatically and items do not group together well. For example, toys getposted 02/17/2012 by dtomoiaga
the best gift i got when i had my son was a jumperoo. My son would sit in there and entertain himself so i could get things done around the house. with my daughter the best gift i received was her swing, she can't sleep with out it.

Hopefully Doc starts out in a zone and mixes up the defense from zone to matchup zone to man. Don't ever give the Heat anything to look at 3-4 times down the court.
Play to get to the 4th quarter and conserve fouls and energy.
The Heat don't like zone, they want to make spectacular plays at the basket, dunks and get to the FT line. Make them shoot jumpers because over time they aren't going to shoot a good pct. Trap James when he gets the ball and make him give it up. DO NOT trap Wade because he splits double teams like it's nothing.
Then rebound, rebound, rebound. We get out of Miami tied 1-1

Spain faces financing headacheMon, 31 Dec 2012 9:04 AM
Spain defied the markets by averting a sovereign bailout this year but high interest rates could yet force Madrid to its knees as the nation confronts a 207-billion-euro ($274-billion) financing headache in 2013.
The eurozone's fourth-biggest economy has skirted a rescue so far even after slipping into a recession in mid-2011 that has sent the unemployment rate soaring to 25 percent, the highest in Spain's modern history.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's government reached out in June for a eurozone rescue loan of up to 100 billion euros to fix the balance sheets of Spanish banks, crushed by bad loans since a 2008 property crash.
But even as investors fled Spain, sending its 10-year-bond yield above seven percent mid-year as they watched Madrid struggle to curb soaring public debt, Rajoy managed to swerve the politically costly option of pleading for international help.
European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi gave decisive support in September when he announced the bank's readiness to buy an unlimited sum of bonds to curb borrowing costs for member states that accept strict conditions.
The prospect of such intervention alone was enough to calm the selling of Spanish debt securities.
A grateful Rajoy says he can get by for now without even seeking the ECB's bond-buying intervention.
Spain's 10-year bond yields were trading below 5.3 percent in the past week.
In his final news conference of the year, the prime minister warned that Spain's economy faced a "very tough" year ahead.
"Today we are not thinking of asking the European Central Bank to intervene to buy bonds on the secondary market but that is a very useful instrument that is available to all countries of the Union," he added.
"If Spain and its government believe that it is necessary to use it, let there not be the least doubt that we will do so. But in principle today we are not thinking of doing it," the premier said Friday.

Niko Bellic killing an associate of Clarence Little.
|Francis McReary
|East Holland
|Unlocked by
|Final Interview
In Holland Nights, Francis wants Niko Bellic to kill a drug dealer, Clarence Little, in the East Holland projects.
The dealer is on the second floor. The main way to complete the mission is to chase him to the roof of the apartments. If he escapes, he runs to the roof, where you have to option to spare him or kill him. If you spare him, he will appear as a random character later, where you WILL have to kill him. After you either kill him or spare him, police surround the building and you have to lose them. If you're dating Kiki, you can call her to lose the wanted level. Another way is to head to the river, located not too far to the east.
An easier way to complete the mission, completely avoiding the gang members and the police, is to climb the crane to the south of the building. Once at the top you can use the Sniper Rifle to kill Clarence and end the mission without any trouble. The only downside is that you can't spare him.
Clarence Little - (Optional) Killed by Niko Bellic.
- Harlem Nights is possibly the basis for the name of this mission.
- Another possibility is the song Hollywood Nights by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.
- At the begining Clarence is standing on the second floor. You can throw a molotov to kill him.
- You can also snipe him from the crane nearby. This is tricky, however, as he will start running as soon as the crosshair is placed over him.
