Who We Are
We're 2.7 million strong—1.9 million girls and 800,000 adults who believe girls can change the world.
It began over 100 years ago with one woman, Girl Scouts' founder Juliette Gordon "Daisy" Low, who believed in the power of every girl. She organized the first Girl Scout troop on March 12, 1912, in Savannah, Georgia, and every year since, we've made her vision a reality, helping girls discover their strengths, passions, and talents.
Today we continue the Girl Scout mission of building girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
We're the preeminent leadership development organization for girls. And with programs for girls from coast to coast and across the globe, Girl Scouts offers every girl a chance to do something amazing.
Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains…
Is one of 112 councils chartered by Girl Scouts of the USA, the world's leading organization dedicated solely to girls. Here in New Hampshire and Vermont we serve more than 10,500 girls with the guidance of more than 4,000 dedicated and trained volunteers. We provide an accepting and nurturing environment where girls build character and skills for success. In partnership with caring adults, girls develop qualities to serve them all their lives: strong values, social conscience, and conviction about their potential and self-worth.
We are part of a worldwide family of 10 million girls and adults in 145 countries. Our annual budget of just over $5 million is supported by gifts from individuals and corporations, grants from foundations, investments, program fees, and the annual Girl Scout Cookie sale. The Council owns 9 properties, six of which are used for camp and program activities.
Our Mission
Girl Scouts builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
Girl Scout Promise
On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
Girl Scout Law
I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

As part of Jurys Inn on-going CAPEX investment over £1 million has been injected into refurbishing the group's meeting rooms and break out areas over the last two years. New décor, furnishings, LCD mounted projectors and white screens, as well as other technical equipment have all been upgraded.
The CAPEX investment is, however, only part of the hotel group's wider plans to turn its spotlight onto what is a key area of growth. Across its property portfolio of 31 properties in the UK and Ireland, there are 204 meeting rooms collectively providing 2,882 delegate spaces (theatre style).
Jurys Inn is focused on developing both a consolidated meetings offering and most importantly and key to its success, to train the Dedicated Meetings & Events teams to ensure there is consistency of delivery.
It has been a year since 'Jurys Meetings' was launched and Jurys Inn has not only developed a great value, inclusive day delegate package, they have also worked hard to achieve AIM accreditation, the industry's only accreditation which is committed to driving up standards of the UK's meetings industry.
Added to this, a new Group Meetings & Events Manager position has been created which clearly shows how much the company is investing in developing its meetings business.
Gemma Royle who has worked for Jurys Inn for nearly seven years has risen through the ranks since joining the company as a Group Sales Co-ordinator. In her new role as Group Meetings & Events and Sales Support Manager, Gemma will be responsible for developing and training the company's M&E Co-ordinators, as well as looking at ways to improve best practices across the group in order to further strengthen the company's position in the Meetings & Events marketplace. Gemma will also work closely with the MIA and their code of conduct to ensure that the group is delivering to the highest standard within the marketplace, as well as continuing to work towards achieving AIM gold level accreditation for the company.
Whilst the team continues to work tirelessly towards achieving gold level accreditation, Jurys Inn, Head of Sales Marc Webster has recently accepted an invitation to serve on MIA's board for a second time in 5 years. Says Marc: "We are very proud of our new meetings product and we are committed to raising standards not only as a group but across the industry. We want to be seen as a major contender in the meetings arena and that's why we will continue to raise the bar until we achieve our gold level accreditation.
"One of the reasons we chose to become AIM accredited was to use their resources to help us develop our meetings business – a clear benchmark if you like as to what our product should be aspiring to. The accreditation helps on another level too, showing our corporate clients the value of choosing an AIM accredited venue and what that really means."
Since rolling out the MIA/AIM training across the group there has already been some great results. At a MIA celebratory lunch in April, the top 10 meetings and events people were announced, which included Jurys Inn Aberdeen's Meetings & Events Executive, Rachel Sillery. The award was given in recognition of the commitment, passion and inspirational actions each winner had shown, making a difference to their employer, colleagues and their customers.

Cole Co. firefighters honored
Tuesday, February 1, 2011
The Cole County Fire Protection District recently held its annual service awards banquet.
The annual event is to show appreciation to the firefighters for their years of service and dedication to the district.
"I believe there is another aspect that really stands out with the 2010 service awards," said district spokesman Steve Cearlock. "We recognized 26 firefighters who have given 525 years of service to the district. The combined years of service of district personnel are over 1,100. This in itself shows the commitment to the district by its personnel in the aspects of training, call response and the rewards they feel as being a part of this fire district."

Unless you're paying full price and in cash, you'll need a mortgage to buy a home.
A mortgage is the loan that finances the property's purchase. According to the National Association of Realtors, a home is used as collateral for a mortgage loan, which is also a legal contract that the buyers sign promising they'll pay the money back over a certain number of years, usually between 15 and 30.
Those who don't make the monthly payments — which include principal, interest, taxes and insurance — run the risk of having the home seized and resold by the loan's lender.
Before buying a home, it's critical to know what lenders look for when determining whether to approve a mortgage loan.
According to Wells Fargo, lenders examine a number of factors, including:
- The value of the property being purchased and its appraisal value
- The stability of the homeowner's income
- The homeowner's assets and available income for a down payment
- Current debts and credit history
The bank advises homeowners to keep their total debt level, including mortgage payments and any previous obligations such as car payments, at or below 36 percent of their pre-tax monthly income.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the two most common types of mortgages are:
- Fixed-rate: The interest rate stays the same for the term of the mortgage, which normally is 30 years.
- Adjustable Rate Mortgage: Interest rate and monthly payments typically start lower than a fixed-rate mortgage, but your rate and payment can fluctuate either up or down as often as once or twice a year, depending on various financial indicators.
Home buyers can obtain a mortgage loan from a bank, a savings and loan, a credit union, a private mortgage company, or various state government lenders.

A premise: this time I really do not know what I'm doing.
But I want to join the challenge, just to see if I can learn something and overcome fear / laziness to deal with things unknown to me.
Its a first time "building" issue for me, and Im going to approach it with a floor plan.
I don't think there will be textures on it or complex designs, I will keep all quite simple, since I have no experiences at all on the subject and I think a golden rule in this case is to not overdo.
Theres no much time left, I hope Ill be able to finish it, next weekend possible free time will be crucial. I'll try and represent at least the assembly inside the castle and the subject's quarters; I think there will be some shields and some other eye candy.
And of course, suggestions, advices and critiques (the merciless, the better) are highly appreciated.
So the WIP background: the Fortified Assembly is the nickname of a one floor castle where the assembly of a yet unnamed fantasy kingdom is held, twice a year or on order of the king himself or on request of a predefined number of entitled subjects (at least two or more representatives of the major houses and corporations).
The assembly, having only advisory powers, still can strongly affect the kings decisions, depending on the influence and power of its members.

Should I tell relatives we didn't get what we need at our shower?
Recently my mother-in-law and sister-in-law threw a baby shower for me. My husband and I created a baby registry, but not one person used it. Instead of getting baby gear, we got a lot of clothes that we didn't need. Since then several family members have asked if we got everything we needed at the shower. Should I tell them the truth?

If they ask, I would tell them. You could say you have more clothes than you will ever need for your little one but there are still other essentials you will need to get before the baby comes.posted 12/29/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
I think it's perfectly fine to tell people that you didn't get what you were asking for. I think it's downright rude to sit there and make a baby registry for a baby shower you know you are going to get and no one gets anything on the list...what's the point of the whole deal then???? I had a baby shower and I registered and got nothing on my list...I was pretty upset about that and had to go out and buy the stuff I needed...I mean that's the whole point of a shower is to get things you need and if others are willing to do that that's what they should do....so no don't lie to anyone who asks you...it's NOT being pouty.posted 12/29/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
Be honest. Tell them what you need.. however... I dont think I'd prepare a list... or "registry" without being asked to do so.posted 12/29/2003 by debijaiden
Yes, tell them that you did not get the baby gear that you needed. That you registered for a reason and that you need the following. Give them a list and maybe you will get some of the esentials.posted 12/29/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
Well, Becky, I would just go and get the rest myself. The reason being is that they didn't go by the registry, which is obviously stuff that you really need. And plus, they were there like you were. They know that the baby can't sleep on a bundle of clothes! Well, that's my opinion. Good luck in whatever you decide. edd-7-24-04 Lawandaposted 12/29/2003 by excited20
What you DON'T want to say is, "No, because nobody used the damned registry!" Just say, "Well, we got some great stuff at the shower, but we could still use X, Y and Z ... " They're asking if you have what you need, after all, so you might as well tell them. But DON'T sound ungrateful for what you got at the shower. Nobody had to give you anything -- it's not their responsibility to take care of your baby. They gave you gifts out of the goodness of their hearts. Be happy for what you have.posted 12/29/2003 by LindaMHS
Absolutely! I would say "Thank you so much for having the shower for me! I received a lot of gifts that were selected with care and loving. Unfortunately, I did not receive any items from my registry, which is what I truly needed for the baby. Would you mind if I returned your gift to help fund the items baby really needs?"posted 12/29/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree that the purpose of a shower isn't to supply you with everything you need, but I had to comment that that sounds pretty harsh. If people take the trouble to attend a shower, it is only polite to find out what the baby could use. Most people don't have this rude attitude, and will gladly go in together on an expensive gift, or get a cheaper one that you like. I myself would much rather spend 30 bucks on something the parents-to-be really want, rather than useless stuff, or I would throw in what I could afford on a bigger item. People are generally understanding, and even though "it is not their baby to provide for" most people are genuinely happy for you and want to help. I found secondhand things from my girlfriends were great. I even told them they could give them at the shower. That way, I got something I needed, and they didn't even have to spend anything.posted 12/29/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
They asked so they must really want to know. I would tell them - tactfully of course.posted 12/29/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
I would explain that there are a few necessities you still need, important items, and ask relatives if they still have the reciepts for their gifts. Explain that the gift was lovely, but you got a ton of clothes and not some other stuff and you would like to return some clothes (say maybe two outfits per person)and use the money to buy baby gear. This way, you are being sensible, but they know you didn't get what you needed. They can offer to help if they want, or just give you the receipt, but by saying you are returning a few outfits from each person reassures them that the baby will still have one outfit from them, and spares their feelings. And you get what you need. I am closer to my mother than my other relatives, so she is the one that usually spends the most on me. If you still need a high ticket item, such as a crib or carseat, I would tell my mother straight out, that her gift was great, but I needed something else. Mothers usually understand what you need and will be willing to take back their things, and buy something different. Hope this helped. :)posted 12/29/2003 by a BabyCenter Member

Scum of the Earth
saw was a thin membrane incasing even smaller green spheres. Perhaps it had been too long since my days in microbiology class and I wasn't using the instrument right. Despite my lack of finding anything significant, I was able to take some photos to pass on as I continued my search.
Academic Aid
I followed up with Dr. Bornstein, a botanist at SEMO. He had offered his services earlier on if I couldn't figure out the identity of my specimen. This included another trip out to Duck Creek and another search for the right mudflat conditions. Back on campus, and under the scope, Dr. Bornstein, like myself, did not find what he was expecting to see. There were no filaments to these algae. He gave me the name of another professor who might be able to help with my quest.
Upon contact, he was interested and I sent him the photos and description of the habitat where I had encountered these small plants. After a week, he replied and reported that he couldn't put his finger on it, but might be able to identify it by keying out a fresh specimen.
So it was back out to the dried up wetland for another sample of this clearly unpopular, nondescript algae that I was now hell-bent to identify. Since my potential lead had temporarily dried up, I decided to cast another academic net to see if anyone else could identify my photos. Finally, I got a hit. Not a direct one, but definitely in the right direction.
Positive ID
Dr. Nobles is the curator of The Culture Collection of Algae at the University of Texas, Austin. They have approximately 3,000 different strains of living algae, representing most major algal taxa. Cultures in the Collection are used for research, teaching, biotechnology development, and various other projects throughout the world. His response was, "Very interesting stuff! I have not seen anything like this before, but I showed the images to a colleague and I believe he came up with an ID. I think the algae you have is the xanthophyte Botrydium."
At last, I had a name of a species that matched the characteristics of my mystery plant.
Yellow-Green Algae
The next step for me was to learn more about this known strain of algae. That shouldn't be too hard, right? A little digging provided some basic background information. Xanthrophytes are different from the more common and problematic blue-green algae. This group

There have been discussions of great length and much consideration of installing wells to supply water for Pool 1. It has been determined the number of wells required to recharge this reservoir would be financially unfeasible to install, operate and maintain. There is also concern of depleting the local aquifer by removing so large a quntity of ground water. Pool 1 will continue to be recharged by surface runoff and overflow from the local watershed and the Castor River.

Darin, There is definite possibility there will be teal hunting opportunity available in Units A and B. We are still waiting for the completion of the electric control boxes to the wells and final connection to the electric supply lines. This should be completed soon and I am anxious as anyone to start getting some water on the ground. I'll let you all know as soon as I know myself what we will have available. Thanks for your continued interest and support!

will there ever be a point that the main lake will be so low you would consider putting water "back" into the lake using the wells? i remember somewhere in the early 80's that it got so low it was very difficult to get out into the center of the lake.

With duck numbers up this year on all but a few species, blue wing teal numbers continue to sky rocket up to near similar mallard numbers. Is there any possibility with the new pumping capabilities there will be teal hunting available in the A and B units this year? Season is closing in on us fast and it won't take much cool weather up north to push the birds down this way.....considering these small ducks are the first to migrate as early as August. Thanks!!
On July 20th, 2012 at 12:46pm cordek said:
At the current rate of loss of water in Pool 1 reservoir, it is unlikely there will be sufficient water to flood any of Pools 2,3 or 8 until fall rains arrive. The electric line has been laid to all six wells in Unit A and B but we are still relying on the electrical contractors to finish the control boxes before the line can be energized. We need to ensure the wells work and water can be diverted as designed before designating available hunting positions. This should happen within the next two to three weeks. After we know for sure we have pumping capability, we will post an update concerning available hunting positions. Thanks for your continued interest in the Duck Creek renovation project.

Any idea how many spots there may be this year at Duck Creek? With Quick Draw being extended again this year at only the same 3 spots. Increased pressure at the Non-Quick Draw areas will continue, and Just wondering if it will even be worth it this year to head down there.

Batman is one of the coolest superheroes ever. When wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne dons his black costume, he transforms from an ordinary guy into the best butt kicker around. He has an impressive number of very useful technological gadgets, and he has been extensively trained in martial arts. Your son may not have all of these resources at his disposal, but with one of our boy's Batman costumes, he'll feel like he can do just about anything. Whether he's a fan of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, or you've showed him the old Adam West Batman movies, we have both styles of costume. The Dark Knight Batman is a much darker take on the character, with a black Bat Suit and a scary demeanor all around, while the old school Adam West Batman was far more tongue in cheek.

Bavarian Beerhall, Munich
Last Updated: 29th Dec 2013

The Bavarian Beerhall is an optional excursion offered to Concept/Budget and Camping Tours staying in Munich, Germany.

Please note: This excursion is not operated in favor of the Oktoberfest on tours in Munich during the festival.

The Bavarian Beer Hall is offered as an optional excursion on Contiki Concept/Budget and Camping Europe Tours visiting Munich.

You can't miss the beerhall excursion in Munich: excellent food, the best beer in the world plus some really cool bavarian dancing and music!

by – Glenn Jupp, Tour Manager, Europe

The beer halls in Germany are a must do! we visit the city of Munich, home of the Oktoberfest, one of the biggest beer festivals in the world! Talk about experiencing culture. Apart from the fact that its some of the best beer in the world, there is lots of traditional German entertainment including music and dancing, and because everyone is having so much fun, they get a bit of interaction from the crowd as well. A fantastic night out, great German food, fantastic German beer in giant stein glasses, and impressive entertainment. A perfect night out for everyone!

by – Daniel Mailhiot, Tour Manager, Europe

As a former Contiki client, my best night on tour and maybe the best night of my life was attending the Oktoberfest in Munich. A night at the Munchnerhaupt Royal Beerhall is a taste of Oktoberfest available all year round. I don't understand why it is only €20…I would pay €50. A good feed, awesome entertainment, and a really big beer…..life is good. I normally have almost everyone do this excursion. About two days before arrival in Munich, I start teaching the group to sing 'Ein Prosit.' Everyone loves it and they are sad to leave.

This winter, visitors will find the tired old base area transformed into a pedestrian-friendly village, with a free 9,000-square-foot (836-square-meter) skating rink ringed by shops and 213 new condos. A 300-million-dollar, 173-room Ritz-Carlton Highlands ($350; www.ritzcarlton.com) also broke slopeside ground last summer. On-hill improvements include a high-speed quad, in lieu of the aging Pioneer chair, that will open up the West Ridge and reduce the lift rides needed to reach more advanced terrain on the mountain's backside. Paint the Hill Red Rossland, British ColumbiaRed Mountain Resort (www.redresort.com), three hours north of Spokane, Washington, has long been one of ski-dom's steepest, most unheralded mountains. Not for long: Red is undergoing major changes courtesy of American entrepreneur Howard Katkov and partners, who bought the place in 2004. Since then, skiable terrain at Granite and Red Mountains has jumped by a third (to 1,585 acres (641 hectares)). This winter, look for the resort's first ski-in/ski-out luxury lodging: spanking-new 67-unit Slalom Creek ($400; www.redresortproperties.com). Spread Your Wings Snowbird, UtahThe award for Oddest Mountain Upgrade goes to venerable Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort (www.snowbird.com). It's currently boring a 600-foot (183-meter) tunnel (for a moving sidewalk) through its mountaintop to convey skiers more easily to Mineral Basin, on the hill's far side, and to back up the popular tram, which often gets shut down by weather. To serve the tunnel (slated to open in 2007), a new high-speed quad now zooms up Peruvian Gulch nearly to the ridgeline. If you need any more reason to go: They just finished revamping all 511 rooms in stately Cliff Lodge ($222; www.snowbird.com). Ski Up a Creek Beaver Creek, Colorado Save for those who hurtle down the Birds of Prey course in a skintight racing suit, Beaver Creek Resort (www.beavercreek.com) isn't exactly known for its adrenaline rush. But this winter's unveiling of Stone Creek Chutes, east of Rose Bowl, is set to up the amperage considerably. Think 180 acres (73 hectares) of steep, gladed runs, and junior cliffs that, while not quite Alaskan in scale (only 400 to 600 vertical feet (122 to 183 vertical meters)), are ramped up to 45 degrees and offer triumphal chest-thumping potential for everyone.Ride a Full Moon Big Sky, Montana Big Sky country just broadened its horizons. After merging with neighboring Moonlight Basin, Big Sky Resort (www.beavercreek.com) boasts Lone Peak Tram, which accesses 5,512 acres of terrain, 23 lifts, and 220 runs over 4,350 vertical feet (1,326 vertical meters). With their $79-a-day Lone Peak Ticket, skiers drop into Big Sky's 1,300-vertical-foot (396-vertical-meter) Big Couloir, then ride the tram to Moonlight's expansive North Summit Snowfield. If you want intel from the locals, Alpine Lounge (www.alpinebigsky.com) is the best place to find them, and the private hot tubs at Moonlight's posh town homes ($470 a night; www.moonlightbasin.com) are the best place to get away from them. Feast in the East Franconia, New Hampshire Bode Miller's home hill—Cannon Mountain (www.cannonmt.com)—has a Jackson Hole esque 70-person tram that draws favorable comparisons to its Western cousin. Carve down Tramline or the seemingly endless Kinsman Glade after a dump to confirm the kinship.

TICC is a dividend stock. You would buy it for the dividend.
John Neff Screen
Well run lender
I love this stock so much because it's consistently paying out solid dividends. The company is making money and sharing it with investors. The stock value has remained relatively steady but for the income investor, this one is great. :-) This one is a great stock for a DRIP.
Looks like a fairly strong performer, nothing silly on the balance sheet, good dividend, however I am a bit wary about the fact that in the last two years it has diluted the shares by 25% and 19% respectively. I suspect it was just to allow them to massively increase the amount of long term investments sitting on the balance sheet, but I would have hoped that they would have chose 2009 and 2010 to be doing that sort of thing instead.
5/27/2013 currently paying an 11.69% dividend. Closed-end investment company. Provides capital to non-public, small & Medium-sized, technology companies. Company also has warrants of other equity instruments is some of the companies it lends to. No insider purchases or sales in the last 12 months. Should do well in a recovering economy.
Great dividends for almost 10 years.
High yield nothing to sneeze at.
Technology Financing is a great way to invest other in just Technology stocks
High dividend
I just read that the tach industry is in the last and most successful 10 years of a 25 year cycle. If this is true, along with this seemingly well run company, it should be profitable. Now, if it gets infected with greed, that's another story. Due didigence is required.
there's free money right now thanks to the fed, and hopefully the economy is coming back.
Low PEG plus insider buying.
Ticc is presently near their 52 week low and generating sufficient cash flow to maintain a healthy dividend and has the possibility to receive a kick from their investments.
Yield play.
The weekly chart for TICC indicates that momentum has been lost over the past six months. It also indicates that support is being reenforced at about the 9.6 level. Buying TICC below $10 may be rolling the dice a little, but a stop at $9.5 should control the risk.
Gratuitously pummeled after missing earnings by $0.01
Very cheap with an outstanding dividend(and growing). Growth potential is another plus with market cap ~350M. Tends to dip down in the $10 range occasionally and that seems the best time to grab addt'l shares. Will be adding this to my portfolio soon after watching for some time now.

Religious restrictions also make it difficult for some Jewish bluegrass musicians to build a career. Judaism forbids playing musical instruments on Shabbat, which spans from sunset Friday evening through sunset Saturday evening. This is especially problematic in the summer months, when most of the bluegrass and old time festivals are held and the days are longer. Because of these restrictions, Lucky Break and The Zion Mountain Boys play most of their performances at Jewish venues and occasionally reach broader audiences.
Margot Leverett and the Klezmer Mountain Boys, a klezmer-bluegrass fusion band based in Manhattan, play various venues around New York City. Klezmer is the secular, festive music of Eastern European Jews, and its sound has much in common with fast-paced fiddle tunes of old-time music and the hard-driving banjo of bluegrass. Margot Leverett, the band's clarinetist, calls it "dancing music." It's hard to feel unhappy—or sit still—when listening to a live performance. But Hassidic niguns and old-time ballads that Leverett also loves, share a darker connection.
Historically, she says, "Jews and Southern Appalachian people have a lot in common. They've been driven out of their homes, have lived hard lives, and have used music for strength." Leverett's vibrant blue eyes tear up when she talks about the displacement that poor Southerners experienced in the 1920s, when they were forced to leave their homes and seek out work in the cities. "There's the same homesickness in Jewish folk songs," she says.
"American life allows different groups to be inspired and influenced by one another," Wicentowski says. "This isn't an uncommon thing in American experience and it's not uncommon in the Jewish experience," he adds. "Jews have done this wherever we've gone over the millennium."

Bleep Interviews Agoria
BLEEP: Why did you start InFine?
AGORIA: This is something that we thought about 7 or 8 years ago with my friend Alexandre Cazac. We are sharing the same points of views on music but with different backgrounds. The meeting we made with Francesco Tristano, a young and talented pianist motivate us to do the first step and to start running a label.
B: What do you think of the current state of electronic music today?
A: That's a big question… there are so many things to say… The model of the music industry is dead and the new model is still to be invented. It reflects what happens in a world, which is in transformation. We are at a crossroads. Everybody can make music, and everybody releases so many records that nobody can pay attention to it all. It's time to look for rarity and think twice before releasing a record and most of all about how to release it. I have the feeling that we are back at the time when there was no money in the dance record industry, but with an underground spirit, so the music will definitely be better. The fact that now the artists are not making music with any commercial stress or hopes should help the music to be more audacious and relevant. This period is really exciting between old generation who just want to release music on vinyl, and new generation which is more spontaneous, listening to music everywhere, skipping artists and music really fast.
But in both cases it s becoming really difficult to find a music that could pleases you. On one hand vinyls are in really low quantity, and on the other hand it's hard to find music with such a huge amount of music offered. Electronic music has been mostly made by DJs, engineers and producers in the past years, so when artists with a classical background will give their own imprint I guess we're gonna have very good surprises. In the meantime, kids born in a bath of technology will definitely use it differently than I do, so yes I guess the best is yet to come…
B: What is the InFine A&R policy?
A: Selling more and more… Just joking, there are no A&R policy in fact. We can sign all kind of music if we are into it. No matter what are the rules, no matter what are the trends, no matter if it's electronic or not. We just want to release music that people should listen everyday all their life long… I expect, people to listen a record of InFiné no matter who the artist is, just trusting our choice!
B: What has been your greatest success?
A: For my own Agoria records? i guess it's not out yet! "Inpermanence" on InFiné will be for sure the most downloaded, streamed and shared album !
B: Where will dance music be in 20 years time?
A: Already hard to say in three years. Would it be connected to holograms? How it will change the music ? All will become dematerialized? We'll share this new opera all together interacting with the artists? Or maybe a global computer crash will erase all and we ll end up dancing around the fireplace?!

Bleep Interviews Horsepower Productions
This week sees the welcome return of Horsepower Productions with their new album Quest For The Sonic Bounty. Unanimously recognized as some of the key figures in creating the signature sound-styles of Dubstep, we decided to speak to Benny Ill about the new album and their production techniques.
BLEEP: Who is the entire Horsepower Productions crew and what does everyone do now? Who features on this album?
BENNY ILL: In alphabetical order:
Benny ill, Clive GT, Jay King, Joe "the culprit", Mango 1, Matt HP, Merlin, Nassis, Sam W, Simon D
Everyone is actively doing various things including Music Production, DJ'ing, Art projects, Event promotion, and Label Management to name a few..
On the new album we have the combined talents of Benny ill, Jay King, Matt HP, Nassis plus collaborations with Loefah and Orson.
B: So what spurred on you guys to reform and start put out a full length album?
BI: We never split so we didn't really reform as such. After our second LP was released in 2004 we found it hard to make a living doing that music so we all concentrated on different sides of the music industry, although we continued to write new material for eventual release. Tempa requested a new album back in 2007 and a lot of people, other producers and Dubstep afficionados had been encouraging us to make another LP for a while so we eventually obliged them..
B: How do you feel your music stands in todays dubstep era, as opposed to 10 years ago?
BI: Well it is much better received now, partly due to the popularity of Dubstep music as a whole and partly due to the much more widespread promotion possible now via the internet, which has become much more popular since 2004. From a musical point of view we have not really changed and it seems that our production methods give us a particular style which remains popular today and enables us to provide good variety between the different tracks without totally alienating our audiences.
B: What is your studio set-up and can we see a picture of it?
BI: We currently operate a total of 4 studio facilities, soon to be 5 and all studios are differently equipped. In general we use a combination of analogue and digital equipment, to the best standard we can acheive with the little we have to work with. Software used includes Cubase, ProTools and Live and hardware includes drum machines, samplers, tape units, FX units, various keyboards and synths, live instruments and percussion. Mostly all tracks are mixed on analogue consoles to some extent, although equipment limitations force us to use digital audio in some cases.
Horsepower Production's new album Quest for the Sonic Bounty is out now. The lead photo is done by Shaun Bloodworth.

Fleeing suspect allegedly kills bystander in Roseville
By: Jonathan Brines & Scott Thomas Anderson
Driver suspected of being under the influence
A pedestrian was killed Tuesday night in Roseville during a four-car pile up following a police pursuit of a driver allegedly under the influence of drugs or alcohol. According to Roseville police, the incident began around 8 p.m. with a 911 call about reckless driving on Junction Boulevard. An eyewitness told emergency dispatchers that a pickup truck was harassing motorists, swerving, tailing-gating and burning out on the roadway. Following a tip, Roseville officers located the green truck in question at a recycling center on Washington Boulevard. The call then took a more serious turn when the driver, Oleg Tarasuk, allegedly became confrontational with officers, revving his engine and pushing a patrol car out of his way with the front of his truck. "One of our patrol cars tried to block him in to try to keep him from running and (the officer's) car was pushed into a field," said Roseville Police Lt. Mike Doane, adding that Tarasuk fled from police southbound on Washington Boulevard. "The other two officers had to run back to their cars to follow the suspect, and by that time the collision had already taken place." The collision the officers came upon was at the intersection of Washington and Main streets. Tarasuk had allegedly collided with three other vehicles and caused the death of a pedestrian, 26-year-old Gregory Delacampa of Roseville. Witnesses said the victim was standing near the 7-Eleven convenience store. "He just happened to be walking in the area and he got hit as a result of the crash," Doane said. Roseville police spokeswoman Dee Dee Gunther said Tarasuk and another driver involved in the wreck were taken to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. After being medically cleared, Tarasuk was arrested on felony charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or narcotics and gross vehicular manslaughter. His bail was set at $275,000. Tarasuk, 50, is a Roseville resident. Scott Thomas Anderson can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at ScottA_RsvPT.

The Guide Dog Foundation encourages others to help fund Guf, a yellow Lab puppy sponsored by NBC's "Growing Up Fisher"
April 28, 2014, 2014 – Smithtown, NY – NBC and the cast and crew of "Growing Up Fisher" have donated $16,000 towards Guide Dog Foundation puppy and future guide dog Guf, which will go a long way to help offset the $55,000 it takes to breed, raise, train, and place a guide or service dog, while there is never a cost to a recipient.
Encouraged by the generous support given, the Foundation would like to fund Guf for the rest of his journey; and is asking for help.
Today, not-for-profits use a variety of strategies to raise funds. Crowdfunding is a way for many individuals contribute a little, with the goal of achieving a lot, to a particular project. The Guide Dog Foundation has started "Guiding Guf" (Guf.GuideDog.org) on the website CrowdRise to raise the remaining $39,000 to cover all of Guf's expenses on his journey to become a guide or service dog. It's a simple yet very effective way for you to change someone's life.
Recently NBC and the cast and crew of "Growing up Fisher" sponsored Guf, a yellow Lab puppy from the Guide Dog Foundation. "Growing up Fisher" was inspired by creator and executive producer DJ Nash's own childhood experiences, when his father trained with and received a guide dog from the Foundation in 1981. The series airs on Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. (Guf seen here with Growing Up Fisher cast member Jenna Elfman)
With approximately 1.3 million people in the United States who are legally blind and as the 9 million baby boomers with vision loss continue to age, the number of seniors with vision loss will grow substantially.
About the Guide Dog Foundation
For over six decades, the Guide Dog Foundation has supported the independence, enhanced mobility, and companionship a guide dog brings to its handler. Students come to its Smithtown, N.Y., campus from all over the United States and Canada for the quality of Foundation dogs and its innovative training techniques.
There is never a cost to consumers for their guide or service dogs. The Guide Dog Foundation relies on contributions from generous individuals, corporations, service clubs, and foundations to support its programs. It does not receive government funding.
In 2009, the Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind became the first assistance dog school in the United States to be certified by the International Guide Dog Federation and Assistance Dogs International. It was recertified by both regulatory bodies in 2013.

Public Religion Research Institute survey shows current status of support in California
Timothy Kincaid
July 22nd, 2010
The Public Religion Research Institute released a survey today about the attitudes of Californians on gay issues. PRRI is a progressive organization and the survey was funded by strong supporters of our community, so we must be cautious to look for bias. As I believe that the language of the Survey Report lends itself to a slightly rosy translation rather than strict interpretation of the numbers, I'll mostly focus on the results.
The methodology was a randomly selected telephone survey of 2,801 adults with additional oversamples of African Americans and Latino Protestants (this was relevant due to a desire to find statistically valid conclusions about of those populations). This is a sufficiently large sample to provide meaningful information. The results were subsequently weighted to correct for oversampling, and to allow for comparisons between categories of participants.
I've reviewed the questions of the poll and do not think that this is a poll which is designed to generate specific answers. However, the language leading up to some questions does, in my opinion, set up the participant to view gay rights in terms of "chances in life" and some follow up questions seem to be a bit on the persuasive rather than inquisitive side.
All that being said, here are the findings of the PRRI survey:
Q.7 Which of the following statements comes closest to your views
42% Gay couples should be allowed to marry
31% Gay couples should be allowed to form civil unions, but not marry OR
24% There should be no legal recognition of a gay couple's relationship
This seems to be very similar to the findings of the Field Poll, well within the probability range. I think we can assume that these probably represent the attitudes and perspectives of Californians.
Q.10 Do you believe that gay and lesbian couples who want to get married are trying to change the institution of marriage or join it?
39% Change it
57% Join it
4% Don't know
This is an interesting finding. It seems that some participants believe that gay people have no ill intention towards marriage or any desire to revise it, yet they still prefer civil unions to marriage. This is a demographic that may be open to arguments about fairness and equality.
It also suggests that about 4 in 10 Californians have been receptive to the campaign of lies and villainization that enemies of equality have waged. To reach these people we must assure them that we are not trying to make marriage mean anything other than what it has always meant.
Q.12 In 2008, Californians voted on Proposition 8, the state constitutional amendment to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California. Did you vote "Yes" to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry, or did you vote "No" on Proposition 8.
39% Yes
49% No
8% Did not vote on Proposition 8
4% Don't know
Obviously this is not how Californians voted on Proposition 8 (it passed with 52.2% of the vote) and there are a few possibilities why. It could be that this is a bad sample. Or it could be that the language of the question made the participants embarrassed to answer the question honestly.
But I think that this is an answer that is consistent with the way in which voters respond after the fact. Surveys which ask "who did you vote for" consistently find that those polled disproportionately "recall" having voted for the winner, especially if he's popular.
This isn't because they are dishonest. Rather, it's because they probably were not a firm vote and went back and forth in their mind before casting their vote. So their current thinking influences their recollection and they recall having favorable attitudes for the winner and disfavorable towards the guy they actually voted for.
In this case, however, the majority of participants who voted "recall" being on the losing side. This would only make sense if they now consider Proposition 8 to have been a bad idea. Which brings us to:
Q.15 Do you think the passage of Proposition 8 was a good thing for California, a bad thing or do you think it hasn't really made any difference?
22% A good thing
29% A bad thing
45% Hasn't made any difference
4% Don't know
Slightly more say "a bad thing", but not enough to really account for the variance between Q.12 and the actual vote. So a chunk of the "no difference" crowd would have to be generally negative towards Prop 8 in order for this survey to have any consistency at all.
And it appears that they are.
Q.16 If you had to vote on a similar ballot proposition tomorrow, would you vote to keep same-sex marriage illegal or would you vote to allow gay and lesbian couples the opportunity to get married?
45% Vote to keep same-sex marriage illegal
51% Vote to allow gay and lesbian couples to get married
4% Don't know.
A review of the polling compared to the results on gay marriage issues shows that pre-election polls often have the gay supporting percentage correct but that all of the "unknowns" vote against equality. So this is a squeaker.
What follows are a few questions that I think advise us as to our future efforts. Going forward, it seems that we need to educate and inform and be diligent in challenging the lies that are regularly told by those who seek to keep us denied civil equality.
Q.26.d Sexual orientation is determined at birth
26% Completely agree
25% Mostly agree
20% Mostly disagree
21% Completely disagree
8% Don't know
Not only do we need to educate about the evidence surrounding the etiology of sexual orientation, we need to educate about the phrasing of this question. The issue is not whether orientation is "determined at birth" but whether it is a naturally occurring phenomenon over which each of us has little or no input and that for many gay people biology plays a key role.
In other words, the issue isn't whether there is a "gay gene" but rather whether orientation can be "caused" or whether, like handedness, it just develops.
Q.26.e Homosexual orientation can be changed
15% Completely agree
19% Mostly agree
21% Mostly disagree
37% Completely disagree
8% Don't know
It looks like our stories and our honesty is being heard. But with 34% still buying into the "change" myth, we have a ways to go.
The survey also found that 67% mostly or completely agree that gay and lesbian relationships should be accepted by society and that 60% mostly or completely disagree with the statement that "sexual relations between two adults of the same gender is always wrong." Additionally, 25% believe that they are more supportive of gay rights than they were five years ago while 8% think they have become less supportive.
The Survey Report has some additional analysis. For me, the fascinating parts are the comparisons of various religious participants and how church denomination, attendance, and pastoral message influences attitudes, both negatively and positively.

There's been a battle raging in the world of cycling for longer than we can remember, the battle between shorts and bibs. Not many issues are as polarizing for cyclists; like any wise leader, Campagnolo Sportswear has sought to hedge its bets by appeasing both sides with the highest quality possible. The Penny Women's Shorts are the ultimate in women's shorts, offering superior material, comfort, and style.
The Campagnolo Sportswear Penny Shorts are as uniquely style-driven as they are performance-driven. The Penny tights feature the patented Anatomical Tri-Pro Pad for maximum comfort in the saddle, while the Penny's fabric is made from the UPF 50+ Revolutional Energy techno fabric. This fabric was developed to provide optimal movement efficiency, muscle containment, compression, and support. Campagnolo developed the Penny Shorts with female physiology in mind, and the end result is a cleverly cut form that's adaptable to multiple riding positions. Nice extra features include the IQ Seen reflective logo for night time visibility up to 500 feet, and elastic/silicone leg grippers to keep the shorts in place when you're hammering on the pedals.
The Campagnolo Sportswear Penny Shorts are available in sizes X-Small through X-Large, and in colors Black and White.
- Extra-elastic Revolutional Energy fabric offers maximum support and muscle containment, reducing fatigue
- Ergonomic Tri-Pro Pad is specifically designed to fit a woman's anatomy
- UPF 50+ treatment prevents sunburn during long rides
- Waist cut lower in front for comfort when you're in the cycling position
- Silicone grippers in the elastic hems keep the knickers in place
- IQ Seen reflective logo is visible at 500 feet, giving motorists plenty of warning that you're on the road

Awesome Gift
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit:True to size
I ordered these as birthday gift for my wife. She loves the feel and quality of it. I can testify of the very good quality and excellent fit of the product. Very happy with it.
It's ok
Nice quality and look. However, it's very low cut for cycling shorts such that I have to keep pulling down my jersey while cycling so that my back doesn't show. The longest shorts I've come across, ~ 10 inches. Runs small.
Compared to my other pair of shorts (the Zero RH + Fusion Short), these are fantastic. The padding is still comfortable after 40 miles, and no issues with shifting or bunching. They do run small compared to US sizes.
wondering about the length? 8 inches, 10...
wondering about the length? 8 inches, 10 inches ???

At first glance they don't look so bad, just a few houses that need new paint and maybe a new roof, but a closer look reveals a bigger problem plaguing Covington: properties in such bad shape, they're at risk of being torn down by the city.
Take North Main Street, for instance.
Once an affluent African-American neighborhood, the 1/3-mile road that leads between the historic court square and Highway 51 is now home to at least a dozen properties that are either vacant or appear to be vacant.
Three of these properties – former residences that have been condemned – are on the city's priority list for demolition.
"I'm not going to say they necessarily need to be torn down," said Sheila White, who lives between two of the properties, "but they make the street look bad. It is Main Street."
In the shadow of the court square, renovated in the last eight years and recently dressed in pink cherry blossoms, there's the row of businesses across from The Studio and the farmers market, that have seen better days.
The fish market operates out of one business, but the others are vacant.
The Main Event, at the corner of North Main and Spring, has been padlocked for quite some time.
There's the tall brick building with stained glass windows that towers above North Main from a hill; there are boarded windows on its side.
There are two properties just north of it, 304 and 308 North Main, that look like they were once residences of people proud to live in them.
The roof of the house at 304 North Main, originally built in 1938, looks as if it melted right off of the house. It is littered inside and out with debris, home furnishings; a curtain still hangs in a back window.
Henry L. Porter of Mason purchased the property, formerly owned by G.R. Smith and R.S. Maley, for $400 in July 1917 and records indicate his daughters Ernestine Norfolk and Noreen Swan, who is still listed as the property owner, inherited it in 1961 when he died.
Next door, things aren't much better. At 308 North Main, the porch steps have rotted and fallen away. Paint is peeling away from the siding in sheets. Full sheets of plywood have been nailed to cover windows. From the gable roof over the rotted porch, a metal address sign still hangs delicately by only one hook.
The property was purchased from Harriet Malone, who also owned the property next door, by James Harris Porter in 1934 and has been in the family since.
It is currently listed as being owned by Katie V. Porter and Jocelyn Berry.
The owner of an adjacent property said he has a hard time renting a new brick home because of the eyesores.
"It doesn't give potential tenants, especially those with children, a comfortable home feeling to see blighted houses next door," he said.
Both dwellings, as well as one at 502 North Main listed as being owned by Alma Edwards and Michael Edwards, the late mother and brother of alderman John E. Edwards, have been listed as being in need of "minor repairs," according to property assessment data, but Lessie Fisher said they need more than that.
In a meeting earlier this month, Fisher, who works in the city's planning and building division, said these properties, as well as 13 others, need immediate attention.
Now condemned, in addition to being eyesores, the properties have become home to pests, feral cats, stray dogs and crime.
"These are the ones that have come to such a shape that they are very hazardous to the general public," she said. "We want these taken care of to assist the police and fire departments because it will help remove the illegal activity. People will get in these homes and start fires and use drugs."
Fisher is asking property owners to repair and renovate the structures, to make them once again habitable, or to demolish and remove them.
"Each of these properties has had multiple notices placed on them," Fisher said. "A couple of the (owners) said, 'I'm gonna get to it, I'm gonna get to it …' Well, the building has gotten in such a shape that we need to have it addressed now."
If not done within the time frame she's given, Fisher has asked to use the city's community development funds to demolish them. If this is done, a lien will be placed on the property in an attempt to collect the money the city will spend.
Though the properties are eyesores, Fisher said the battle against run-down properties is an on-going one, but it's one she's willing to fight in the name of public safety.
"Hopefully we get things into better shape. We really just want to have responsible owners maintaining their properties."

LIN-28 co-transcriptionally binds primary let-7 to regulate miRNA maturation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Nat Struct Mol Biol
Publication Year:
PubMed link:
Funding Grants:
Public Summary:
The LIN-28 RNA binding protein is important for development and survival of human embryonic stem cells. We show in this manuscript that LIN-28 controls the level of the microRNA let-7 at the level of its primary transcript, demonstrating a novel mode of LIN-28 and let-7 regulation that is conserved in humans and nematodes.
Scientific Abstract:
The highly conserved let-7 microRNA (miRNA) regulates developmental pathways across animal phyla. Mis-expression of let-7 causes lethality in C. elegans and has been associated with several human diseases. We show that timing of let-7 expression in developing worms is under complex transcriptional and post-transcriptional control. Expression of let-7 primary transcripts oscillates during each larval stage, but precursor and mature let-7 miRNAs do not accumulate until later in development after LIN-28 protein has diminished. We demonstrate that LIN-28 binds endogenous primary let-7 transcripts co-transcriptionally. We further show that LIN-28 binds endogenous primary let-7 transcripts in the nuclear compartment of human ES cells, suggesting that this LIN-28 activity is conserved across species. We conclude that co-transcriptional interaction of LIN-28 with let-7 primary transcripts blocks Drosha processing and, thus, precocious expression of mature let-7 during early development.

La Grande shortstop Denise Comfort puts the tag on Ontarios Annabel Nunoz Friday at Sam Marcum Field. (Brad Mosher/The Observer)
by Brad Mosher/The Observer
La Grande kept Ontario winless in Greater Oregon League softball play Friday, handing the visiting Tigers a pair of losses at Sam Marcum Field in Pioneer Park.
Even more important than the 7-2 and 11-0 wins, was the impact the wins had in the league standings.
The sweep moved La Grande into a tie for second place with Baker/Powder Valley — both with 5-5 records — after undefeated McLoughlin swept Baker/Powder Valley Saturday.
It also set up a home battle with the Lady Bulldogs for second place.
Although Ontario took the lead
"We finally executed some bunts and put the ball in play," said
La Grande pummeled Ontario pitching for seven runs, turning a 1-0 deficit into a six-run lead by the end of the fourth inning.
One of the sparks to the scoring explosion came when Ontario pitcher Nykol Kiniskey hit Denise Comfort in the helmet with a pitch "When Denise got hit, it kind of fired us up," Kohr said. "The girls stayed focused."
La Grande pitcher Kali Avila started the inning with a walk, then Olivia Trotter followed with a single, before Comfort got hit.
Avery Albrecht's double seconds later scored Trotter, and Brandy Blackman's single scored Comfort.
After Madison Elliott's walk, Kendall Kirkland scored two with a single.
Kirkland moved to second on a wild pitch, then scored on freshman pitcher Avila's single to right field.
Avila struggled at times on the mound but still had a strong performance, Kohr said. "We had more walks than we are used to seeing. Kali moved the ball around well. She did a good job. She stayed focused and got the outs when she needed to," the coach said.
Avila allowed two hits.
The score could have been much higher, but La Grande stranded eight baserunners in the first game.
"When we put the ball in play, good things happen. We bunted the ball. We hit the ball," Kohr said.
Comfort also was hit by a pitch in the second game.
Avila and Olivia Trotter each had two doubles, while Albrecht hit a double and Blackman had a single.
Lawrence blanks Ontario
In the second game,
La Grande scored four times in the first inning and three times in the second inning. Four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning built an 11-0 La Grande lead. Pitcher Emily Lawrence picked up the shutout win by putting the Ontario batters down in order.

Why he prefer the baby sitter?
I work full time and take my 1 year old baby to a baby sitter. When I go to pick him up, he starts crying and grabbing her. He dont want to come with m. :-(. It started 3 weeks before his 1st bday. Today he reached out for me to take him, but its been very painful.

Think of it as a good sign that he has a good baby sitter. He know you are mommy. Make sure the time you spend with your child is quality time. Touching, looking him in the eye. Letting him know how important he is by your actions as well as words. One thing I did with my first child, I got very excited when I saw her. I acted like it was the first time I had seen her in a long time. That excited her. She's 4 and she still gets excited when Mommy's home. Each time I pick her up or come home, I get excited and give her hugs and kisses. Simply said, I make sure my eyes light up when she enters the room.posted 07/23/2013 by Junebug Jr.
It is because they see the babysitter all day and not you. Just make sure the time you DO have with them is QUALITY. Like junebug pointed out.posted 07/24/2013 by m25kids
