Veins were never meant to be seen, much like all of the exposed wiring on the back of the moon. Keep up appearances with this Groupon.
$99 for Two 20-Minute Laser Vein-Removal Treatments ($700 Value)
During each treatment, technicians treat spider veins under the skin, collapsing veins for eventual absorption. A burst of light and the sensation of a rubber band snapping indicate that the YAG laser is treating the preferred region, working to reduce the appearance of spider veins.
Stephen E. Smith, M.D. - Eye Associates of Fort Myers
Delicate floral paintings and stalks of bamboo adorn the serene treatment room at Eye Associates of Fort Myers, where lasers are wielded to help treat a variety of aesthetic complaints. Technicians use intense pulsed light to penetrate the skin, aiming to clear away marks and abrasions such as unwanted hair, sun spots, stretch marks, and totally useless eyebrows. Medically trained staffers can treat most body regions, including the face, legs, and bikini area.

The two designers Casini and Seya, both originally stylists have worked for the likes of L'Officiel, Numéro and i-D. They launched their line CristaSeya in 2013. Instead of following fashion seasons, CristaSeya release "editions" of 12 to 15 items every six months that are always available upon request. The focus is on timeless garments and quality fabric sourcing. Each new edition also introduces handmade objects from artisans the designers have partnered with to enhance the lifestyle arm of their brand.
The overall design of CristaSeya's pieces is simple and the fit is always relaxed. Lines are effortless to let the beauty and quality of materials speak by itself. The editions include mannish trousers in brushed blue linen, reversible wool blazers and sumptuous knitwear in cashmere, silk and mohair, fine seersucker shirting in varying lengths and colors and outerwear. The look of every collection is luxurious, thanks to the duo's aptitude for sourcing textiles.

Macau. Despite its quarterfinal defeat, Indonesia looks all but set for the Uber Cup finals after finishing fifth in Asian zone qualifying on Sunday.
Indonesia beat Hong Kong 4-1 at the Macau Forum in the playoff final to finish fifth in qualifying. Its place is not assured until after European qualifying ends, though.
Asia's fifth-best team in qualifying will compete in the finals in Wuhan, China, on May 20 to 27 if its top three singles shuttlers and top two doubles teams have more cumulative world ranking points than the fourth-place team from Europe.
The Netherlands was scheduled to face Russia in the third-place playoff in the European Team Championships, which also serve as qualifying for the Thomas Cup and Uber Cup, in Amsterdam late on Sunday.

Introducing AOLserver
Apache, the well-known HTTP server, is something of a poster child for open-source software: it is popular, stable, flexible, secure, portable, extensible and compliant with internet standards. I've been using Apache since it was first released, and it's a joy to work with.
But given that there are multiple open-source operating systems, editors, databases and programming languages, it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that Apache isn't the only open-source HTTP server. What is surprising is that one of the alternatives comes from America Online, the same company that sponsors Mozilla, the open-source web browser.
AOLserver offers many of the same features as Apache: it is released under an open-source license, is easy and flexible to configure and offers an API for writing plugin modules. But AOLserver has a fundamentally different architecture from Apache, which often makes it a more efficient choice. Moreover, AOLserver includes a built-in Tcl interpreter, multiple threads, database API and database connection pooling. If your web site uses a lot of database connections, then it's worth looking into AOLserver as an alternative to Apache.
This month, we look at AOLserver as a lead-in to several articles about the open-source OpenACS (Open Architecture Community System) web application framework. While AOLserver is not an absolute requirement for OpenACS, it is the standard and expected way to configure and install the system.
AOLserver began as NaviServer, written and sold by a pioneering company called NaviSoft that offered high-quality, client- and server-side tools for web publishers. AOL has often bought companies that have developed interesting technology; in the case of NaviSoft, AOL bought them for their server- rather than for their client-side tools.
AOLserver probably would have remained relatively unknown were it not for a combination of events: AOL made binary copies of the program available at no cost via the Internet, and Philip Greenspun began work on the ArsDigita Community System. AOLserver makes it easy to create high-performance, database-backed web sites; the fact that ACS made heavy use of relational databases meant that AOLserver was a perfect fit.
But while AOLserver was free of charge, the source code still was unavailable to the general public. In 1999, Greenspun helped negotiate a deal that resulted in the release of AOLserver 3.0 under the AOLserver Public License, which is essentially identical to the Mozilla Public License.
ArsDigita itself effectively went out of business earlier this year, with its remaining staff and assets becoming part of Red Hat Software. But the original ACS software lives on in the OpenACS Project, which is based on the original Tcl version of ACS, using AOLserver and either PostgreSQL or Oracle.
AOLserver's transition to an open-source model wasn't without its problems. While the details are still a bit sketchy, a number of OpenACS developers briefly worked on their own fork of AOLserver, which they called OpenNSD, arguing that the AOLserver developers needed to be more open to community involvement. OpenNSD now appears to be dead, with the OpenACS community once again encouraging people to use AOLserver.
At the same time, ArsDigita added a number of enhancements to AOLserver that have not yet been added to the server's source code in its latest stable or development editions. Because my use of AOLserver is almost always connected to OpenACS, I will be using AOLserver 3.3ad13, available at www.openacs.org/software.adp. More advanced versions, including a development snapshot for the upcoming 4.0 version, are available at www.aolserver.com. But right now, these official versions are not guaranteed to support OpenACS.
Until earlier this year, when version 2.0 was first released to the general public, Apache was a multiprocess server. That is, a number of Apache processes would run at any given time, with each process able to handle a single HTTP transaction at a given time. Supporting ten simultaneous transactions meant having ten Apache processes running in parallel, while supporting 100 simultaneous connections meant having 100 such connections available.
Apache 2.0 changes this somewhat, allowing you to have multiple threads per process. Each thread can handle an HTTP connection, meaning that five threads in each of five processes can accept up to 25 simultaneous connections. Because threads typically consume fewer resources than processes, this effectively means that a typical PC will benefit from an increase in performance.
AOLserver, by contrast, has always been multithreaded and operates within a single process. At any given time, your computer will be running only one copy of nsd, whose name reflects the fact that it was once the NaviServer dæmon. But that one process can handle a large number of simultaneous HTTP connections. Indeed, AOL continues to push AOLserver development precisely because it can handle such a large number of simultaneous connections. It uses AOLserver on its own high-traffic web sites, including netscape.com, aol.com and digitalcity.com.
One advantage—and potential pitfall—of a multithreaded solution is the fact that the threads easily can share data structures with one another. AOLserver takes advantage of this to create a pool of database connections. Because connections in this pool are always kept open, your web applications will not have to spend time opening (or closing) them. Moreover, because it is rare for all of a server's current HTTP connections to require simultaneous access to a database, the pool can contain fewer connections than the maximum number of threads—reducing the amount of memory used by the web server and the database server. You can think of this as the database equivalent of packet switching, in which a telephone line is shared among numerous parties by taking advantage of the fact that no one needs the line 100% of the time.
AOLserver supports plugin modules, much as Apache does. There are a number of modules available, ranging from an XML parser (nsxml) to an embedded version of Python (PyWx). There are also modules for executing CGI programs, for secure connections via SSL and for individual relational databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle. Because OpenACS can work with either PostgreSQL or Oracle, the version of AOLserver available for download from openacs.org includes both of these modules, as well as nsxml.
Just as mod_perl allows web developers to customize Apache's configuration and responses without using C, AOLserver provides an integrated API that allows you to create custom functionality in the Tcl language. Truth be told, I personally would prefer to use Perl or Python for development, but as many AOLserver and OpenACS developers have told me over the years, Tcl "isn't that bad", and I have managed to create a number of interesting, maintainable applications using Tcl and AOLserver in a remarkably short period of time. (I haven't yet tried the embedded Python module, in part because OpenACS requires the use of Tcl.) And, the API that AOLserver provides makes it relatively easy to work with such things as HTTP headers and HTML form values.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Here's the odd thing... these ads only show up when I'm viewing a page. There are no ad impressions for any other visitors. ( the ads don't seem to be geo targeted either).
Anyone else notice this phenomenon? I wonder what it means? I wonder if the regular ads I see are the ones seen by my visitors?
However, I haven't noticed CPM ad impressions showing up only when I view a page. The impressions totals are small, but most of them come from visitors on my site.

The present invention relates generally to communications circuits, and more specifically to communications circuits that utilize clock signals.
Signals received by "receivers" travel through "channels." A channel may be any medium through which a signal can travel. Channels may have undesired effects on signals, such as delay, amplitude attenuation or phase distortion. Data signals and clock signals may travel through separate channels, resulting in different amounts of delay, attenuation, or distortion, collectively referred to herein as "clock skew."
In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that show, by way of illustration, specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. It is to be understood that the various embodiments of the invention, although different, are not necessarily mutually exclusive. For example, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described herein in connection with one embodiment may be implemented within other embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In addition, it is to be understood that the location or arrangement of individual elements within each disclosed embodiment may be modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims, appropriately interpreted, along with the full range of equivalents to which the claims are entitled. In the drawings, like numerals refer to the same or similar functionality throughout the several views.
Data receiver 122 includes clock control input 123. Clock control input 123 is coupled to the output of variable clock circuit 124. Variable clock circuit 124 receives a clock from integrated circuit 102, possibly modifies the phase of the clock as commanded by control circuit 134, and provides the modified clock to receiver 122. In some embodiments, data receiver 122 may include an analog to digital converter such that adaptive filter 140 and amplitude offset circuit 126 each receive a digital word. In other embodiments, data receiver 122 may include an analog sampling circuit that provides an analog voltage to both adaptive filter 140 and amplitude offset circuit 126.
During normal operation of integrated circuit 120, data is received from the data channel and sampled by receiver 122, and the received data passes through adaptive filter 140 to equalize the effects of the data channel. Prior to normal operation, adaptive filter 140 undergoes a training period to adapt to the channel. For example, when a system is powered up, or when circuits are otherwise initialized, adaptive filter 140 may use any of a variety of adaptive filter algorithms to adapt to the channel.
When clock skew is present, and especially when clock skew is severe, it may be difficult for adaptive filter 140 to adapt to the channel. For example, if receiver 122 samples the data signal while it is transitioning rather than when it is stable, adaptive filter 140 may have trouble adapting to the channel. The various circuit blocks shown in
In some embodiments, clock deskew is provided by determining a suitable sampling point in time relative to a received clock. For example, a data signal is received by data receiver 122 and a clock signal is received by variable clock circuit 124. The received clock signal passes through variable clock circuit 124, and is then used to provide a sampling time point for data receiver 122. Variable clock circuit 124 may alter the phase of the clock signal prior to providing it to data receiver 122.
In some embodiments, clock deskew is performed in two phases: a coarse alignment phase, and a fine alignment phase. During the coarse alignment phase, integrated circuit 102 sends a clock signal on the clock channel, and a string of one digital value followed by a string of another digital value on the data channel. For example, clock driver 108 may source a digital clock, and data store 104 may send 64 zeros followed by 64 ones. Integrated circuit 120 may detect that the incoming data has transitioned from one data value to another. While integrated circuit 120 may not detect the exact "transition point" where the data transitions, it may detect an "estimated transition point" that approximates the actual transition point within a reasonable error. This provides a coarse alignment. This may hold true even if the channel is not equalized.
During the fine alignment, data store 104 sends a repeating data pattern to serve as a training sequence. In some embodiments, data store 104 includes a shift register, and in other embodiments, data store 104 includes a linear feedback shift register (LFSR), although the present invention is not limited in this respect. In some embodiments, data store 104 begins sending the training sequence at a known time point relative to the transition point described above with reference to the coarse alignment.
During the fine alignment, data store 130 within integrated circuit 120 provides a repeating data pattern that matches the training sequence provided by data store 104. In some embodiments, data store 130 includes a shift register or an LFSR, although the present invention is not limited in this respect. In some embodiments, data store 130 begins sending the repeating data pattern at a known time relative to the estimated transition point described above with reference to the coarse alignment. Control circuit 134 may accomplish this by time aligning the internal data sequence sourced by data store 130 to the estimated transition point. The repeating data patterns provided by data stores 104 and 130 may be the same patterns; however they may only be time-aligned to within the error associated with the coarse alignment described above.
Control circuit 134 provides control signals to variable clock circuit 124 and data store 130 in an attempt to time align data provided by data store 130 with data received and sampled by receiver 122. In some embodiments, control circuit 134 may command data store 130 to start a repeating data pattern or to time-shift the repeating data pattern. In some embodiments, control circuit 134 may command control store 130 to provide a variable amount of time shift of the repeating data pattern. Control circuit 134 may be any type of circuit capable of providing control information to the various blocks shown in
Amplitude offset circuit 126 provides a variable amount of amplitude offset. For example, in some embodiments, amplitude offset circuit 126 receives a digital word, and adds or subtracts a digital value to provide an offset. Also for example, in some embodiments, amplitude offset circuit 126 receives an analog voltage or current and sums a voltage or current to provide the offset. In some embodiments, control circuit 134 commands amplitude offset circuit 126 to sum a zero offset, and in other embodiments, the amplitude offset is swept over a range of offset values, for one or more time sampling points. The various uses of amplitude offset circuit are further described below.
Comparator 128 compares received data (with a possible amplitude offset) and data from data store 130, and sends error data to bit error rate circuit 132. Bit error rate circuit 132 sends bit error rate information to control circuit 134. If the data stores are time aligned, and if receiver 122 is sampling at an appropriate point within the bit cell, then the bit error rate will be comparatively low. Otherwise, the bit error rate will be higher.
In some embodiments, control circuit 134 varies parameters and monitors the bit error rate in an attempt to find an appropriate sampling point. For example, in some embodiments, control circuit 134 varies control information sent to variable clock circuit 124, varies the timing of data store 130, and varies control information sent to amplitude offset circuit 126, and monitors the bit error rate.
Bit intervals are shown at 210, 212, and 214. These bit intervals correspond to bit intervals at the transmitter. For example, the transition point between the string of zeros and the string of ones occurs at the beginning of bit interval 210, and time point 220 corresponds to the first bit interval having a one. Waveform 202 is shown having a relatively sharp transition, because the effects of the channel are not yet a factor in the integrity of the signal.
Waveform 204 exhibits a less sharp transition, due in part to the effects of the channel. In the example shown in
When the transition point is estimated, the coarse alignment phase is complete. As described above with reference to
Various embodiments of the present invention perform clock deskew by utilizing various methods to search for an appropriate sampling point. For example, as shown in
As shown in
In some embodiments, fine alignment of clock deskew is provided by utilizing a combination of the information as presented in
In other embodiments, a coarse time sweep may be performed with an amplitude offset sweep for each sampling point, and in still further embodiments, a fine time sweep is performed without an amplitude offset sweep. Any one of, or any combination of, coarse time sweep, fine time sweep, amplitude offset sweep, or bit error rate calculation may be used for clock deskew without departing from the scope of the present invention.
Sampler 702 samples received data, and sends a signal to V/I 704. In some embodiments, sampler 702 includes an analog to digital converter, and the signal sent to V/I 704 includes a digital signal with multiple bits. In other embodiments, sampler 702 includes a voltage sampling circuit that samples the incoming data and provides a single analog signal to V/I 704. V/I 704 produces a current on node 705 in response to the signal received from sampler 702.
Control circuit 712 provides control information to offset unit 710, and offset unit 710 produces a current on node 711. The current on node 711 is summed with the current on node 705 by summer 706, and the result is sent to the comparator (not shown).
Control circuit 712 also provides control information to interpolator 708 to influence the sampling point at which sampler 702 samples the incoming data. In some embodiments, interpolator 708 receives a single phase clock signal, internally produces clock signals of various phases, and interpolates between the different phase clock signals. In other embodiments, interpolator 708 receives multiple clock signals of differing phases and interpolates between them. For example, in some embodiments, four clock signals are received, each substantially 90 degrees apart.
Clock deskew circuits, and other embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in many ways. In some embodiments, they are implemented in integrated circuits as part of data busses. In some embodiments, design descriptions of the various embodiments of the present invention are included in libraries that enable designers to include them in custom or semi-custom designs. For example, any of the disclosed embodiments can be implemented in a synthesizable hardware design language, such as VHDL or Verilog, and distributed to designers for inclusion in standard cell designs, gate arrays, or the like. Likewise, any embodiment of the present invention can also be represented as a hard macro targeted to a specific manufacturing process. For example, port circuit 700 (
Integrated circuits 810 and 820 can be any type of integrated circuit capable of including one or more port circuits as shown. For example, either integrated circuit 810 or 820 can be a processor such as a microprocessor, a digital signal processor, a microcontroller, or the like. Either integrated circuit can also be an integrated circuit other than a processor such as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a communications device, a memory controller, or a memory such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) or static random access memory (SRAM). For ease of illustration, portions of integrated circuits 810 and 820 are not shown. The integrated circuits may include much more circuitry than illustrated in
Integrated circuits 810 and 820 are shown in
Systems represented by the various foregoing figures can be of any type. Examples of represented systems include computers (e.g., desktops, laptops, handhelds, servers, tablets, web appliances, routers, etc.), wireless communications devices (e.g., cellular phones, cordless phones, pagers, personal digital assistants, etc.), computer-related peripherals (e.g., printers, scanners, monitors, etc.), entertainment devices (e.g., televisions, radios, stereos, tape and compact disc players, video cassette recorders, camcorders, digital cameras, MP3 (Motion Picture Experts Group, Audio Layer 3) players, video games, watches, etc.), and the like.
Method 900 is shown beginning with block 910 in which a data stream is received that includes a transition point. The transition point referred to in block 910 corresponds to a transition between a string of one data value and a string of a complementary data value. For example, the transition point may occur between a string of digital ones followed by a string of digital zeros, or may occur between a string of digital zeros followed by a string of digital ones.
At 920, a time point that approximates the transition point is estimated. This may be accomplished by comparing sampled input data against a fixed threshold. The fixed threshold may be set to a standard logic threshold, or may be set to a threshold other than a standard logic threshold to take into account effects of the channel through which the signal travels. Estimating the transition point provides a coarse alignment between a transmitting circuit and a receiving circuit. For example, referring now to
At 930, a data store is aligned to the estimated transition point. For example, data store 130 (
At 940, a sampling point is swept in time, at 950 an amplitude offset is swept, and at 960, a bit error rate is measured. In some embodiments, the initial sampling point in the sweep is chosen as the estimated transition point. In other embodiments, a time shift may be added to the estimated transition point to arrive at the initial sampling point. The time shift may be positive or negative. In some embodiments, the amplitude offset is swept for each sampling point such that a bit error rate is measured for a plurality of amplitude offsets at each sampling points. In other embodiments, the amplitude offset is set to a nominal value and the sampling point is swept in time at the nominal amplitude offset. In some of these embodiments, a subset of sampling points are chosen to have the amplitude offset swept.
At 970, the sampling point having the lowest bit error rate for the largest amplitude offset is chosen as the appropriate sampling point. In some embodiments of the present invention, a filter is then trained using the chosen sampling point.
Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with certain embodiments, it is to be understood that modifications and variations may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as those skilled in the art readily understand. Such modifications and variations are considered to be within the scope of the invention and the appended claims.

Billups talks tough on LeBron
Originally Published: June 2, 2007By Chris Sheridan | ESPN.com
CLEVELAND -- Chauncey Billups had an unfamiliar bounce to his step as he swaggered down the hallway after exiting the team bus this morning, his Detroit Tigers cap sitting at a cockeyed angle atop his still-spinning head.
The swagger wasn't limited to his appearance and demeanor, either. Once Billups got to talking, the words came out cocky, too.
Yes, LeBron James had torched the Pistons for 48 points in Game 5.
And yes, the pregame talk all through the day and all throughout ...

World News
Food Sovereignty now: young people creating their future
Young people account for over one fifth of the world's population. 85% of the world's young people live in developing countries and more than half of them in rural areas. They are particularly hard hit by poverty and hunger, and by climate change. Young women and men from several Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) around the world gathered in Rome on November 14th - 17th 2009 during the CSO Forum held in parallel to the World Food Summit on Food Security 2009. "Food Sovereignty now: young people creating their future" was the slogan of the youth meeting in which participants have declared their demand for food sovereignty and inclusive decision-making at all levels worldwide.
The development of massive industrial agricultural production, trading in the past years as well as neo-liberal policies without respect to nature and human beings brought the catastrophic situation of 1.02 Billion people in hunger . 75% of the hungry people are living in rural areas and mostly young people and peasant farmers are the victims of these policies. Much remains to be done as regards youth involvement in the fight for food sovereignty and food security at both national and international levels. Food Sovereignty is a legitimate cause involving sustainable improvement of social, economic and nutritional wellbeing of all individuals on earth by increasing access to quality food, production resources and making favourable food policies for all producers in the world.
The assembly of youth made a final declaration, demanding for more participation in decision-making bodies, access to and control over productive resources and especially the land.
Reform of the Commitee on World Food Security (CFS)
35th session of the FAO committee on World Security was held in Rome from 14-17 October 2009. George Dixon Fernandez ,President of MIJARC participated in this important meeting as well as involved very actively in the CFS reform process which have been taking place during the last nine months. It is now estimated that more than a billion people, one in every six human beings suffering from hunger and under-nourishment. These are mainly small holder food producers, particularly women, and other rural inhabitants. The food and financial crisis really threatens global food security and nutrition and the achievement of the 1996 World Food Summit target and MDGs for reducing hunger and malnutrition. This is one of the major reasons that FAO member nations agreed at the 34th Session of CFS in October 2008 to embark on a reform of the CFS so that it can fully play its vital role in the area of food security and nutrition, including international coordination. CFS reform has been a topic of discussion in several fora including G8, G20 and the UN General Assembly and also is on the agenda for the World Summit on Food Security 2009. FAO Council considered "the CFS reform to be crucial to the governance of world food security, with a view toward exploring synergies with the emerging Global Partnership for Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition

Moonshine Capital Promotions Launches New Website
- Updated: April 24, 2013
CALLAWAY, VA :: Moonshine Capital Promotions launched a new website on Wednesday for Franklin County Speedway ahead of the 2013 season opener on May 11th. The website, built by RACE22.com Designs, will have all the information racers and fans need throughout the season about everything going on at Franklin County Speedway.
"We're excited to get a new website up and running for the season," said Langley Austin, owner of RACE22.com and Franklin County Speedway promoter. "We've been working hard on everything. We have a fresh new website with a clean look that will provide our fans and racers with everything they need to know."
The website has published the rule books for each division as well as the schedule, ticket info and directions to the track. During the season, the site will publish results and standings after every race and press releases throughout the season of everything that's going on at Franklin County Speedway.
"How a website looks, it's a reflection on the track," said Austin. "I've always felt it was important to have a clean website with all the information fans and racers need. You have to have all the information that fans expect, such as ticket price info and results, and all the information racers want, such as rulebooks. It's almost a requirement in this day and age."
Owning RACE22.com and frequenting track websites for information, Austin knows the importance of having up to date information.
"It's frustrating if you log on to a track's website and can't get results from a track and can't get any information. I think my experience in the media has taught me a lot about what to do and what not to do with the website. We're not trying to make anything flashy here. It's just a matter of having all the information fans and drivers need."
The website was built by RACE22.com Designs and powered by the WordPress Content Management System which allows information to be updated quickly and easily.
Earlier this week, Moonshine Capital Promotions released the 11 race schedule that will make up the 2013 racing season at Franklin County Speedway. The opening race of the season will be on Saturday, May 11th with all divisions racing.
For more information on the New Franklin County Speedway, please contact Langley Austin at (276) 613-4208 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. A new website for the speedway and Moonshine Capital Promotions is in the process of being built and will be available at www.moonshinecapitalpromotions.com.

Grass cuts costing police jury
VIDALIA — Grass is green and so is money, and Monday the Concordia Parish Police discussed how much of the latter the former is costing the parish.
The discussion arose after the jury approved the payment of a $1,200 grass-cutting bill for an overgrown lot on Doty Garden Circle. A parish ordinance allows the police jury to have overgrown properties cut and bill owners for the work.
Police Jury President Melvin Ferrington said the jury was going to have to consider other options in the future.
"On this stuff, we are going to have to put the brakes on," Ferrington said. "On this property, we were able to put (the bill) on the tax rolls for next year, but (the payments) are coming out of our general fund, and our general fund can't handle it."
Juror Willie Dunbar suggested on future properties the police jury seek quotes to see if other grass cutting services might be able to do the job cheaper.
"We may have to start getting our prison crews and start doing (the job) ourselves," Ferrington said.
Juror Whest Shirley asked Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Friloux to check with other parishes and see what they do about overgrown grass.
But even as the jury discussed its concern about the costs, Dunbar said he wanted to ensure that a particular overgrown lot in the Vail Acres area get taken care of in a reasonable amount of time.
Friloux said the owner of the lot had asked for an extension because the grass cutting services she had contacted had told her they did not have enough time to cut the lot right away.
"Count down the days between what she said she needed and when they are over, and if it isn't done we will find someone who will do it for us," Dunbar said.
In other news:
• The jury adopted two resolutions honoring Florence Matthews and the Rev. Robert Lee. Lee recently turned 100, and Matthews will be 100 Sept. 25, Juror Joe Parker said.
• The jury voted to change the structure of the printed agendas for its future meetings. Meeting agendas will now no longer list individual interfund transfers.
"This is something that we have done for years, and we are not really required by law to do it," Juror Randy Temple said.

(Chris Allen/Democrat-News)
That will change starting in the 2013 season.
In what is being billed as a "landmark agreement," the two NAIA conferences will pair teams based on previous seasons' standings for regular season schedules.
"We are pleased with the fine work done by the coaches of both conferences in the development of this historic agreement," commissioners Larry Lady of the HAAC and Dr. Scott Crawford of the KCAC said in a joint statement.
The only interleague meeting last year occurred in the season-opening Victory Sports Network "First Down Classic" on Aug. 28, when HAAC member Baker defeated visiting Ottawa (Kan.) of the KCAC, 24-14.
The opportunity to cut this deal resulted from the down-sizing of the Heart of America Conference to 10 teams. Lindenwood and charter member William Jewell both left the league to join NCAA Division II, with Peru State (Neb.) joining.
Although HAAC teams were still allowed to schedule a non-conference game during a "bye" week, not all did so. With more chances to play the 10-member KCAC, it should easier to keep regular season schedules at 10 or 11 games.
"Most importantly, this opens up an opportunity for the HAAC and the KCAC to play schools that are close geographically," noted veteran Benedictine head coach Larry Wilcox, entering his 33rd season at the helm. "It also opens for all schools the chance to play schools that are like in size and like in nature, and could create some new rivalries for both conference."
Some member institutions didn't wait for a formal accord to begin pairing up. There are four match-ups on the 2011 schedule, starting with a rematch between Ottawa and Baker in the First Down Classic on Aug. 27.
Missouri Valley also availed itself of the proximity of the KCAC to set up a contest to open the season Sept. 3 at Gregg-Mitchell Field against defending champion MacPherson (10-1, 9-0 KCAC), which was beaten in the first round of the 2010 NAIA playoffs by McKendree (Ill.), 38-14.
"We are very excited about the possibility of playing non-conference games, and the KCAC is a natural fit," said MVC head coach Paul Troth, whose Vikings are coming off an 8-2 campaign and third-place finish in the HAAC -- missing the playoffs for the second time in five seasons.
Valley will also begin its 2012 season against MacPherson on the Bulldogs' turf.
The last time the Vikings played against a KCAC member was in the first round of the 2007 NAIA Championship Series, rolling to a 34-21 win at Friends in Wichita, Kan., en route to their second straight appearance in the semifinal round -- an 11-10 loss at top-ranked Sioux Falls (S.D.).
Valley hasn't played a regular season non-conference game since Sept. 17, 2005, when it hosted Lambuth (Tenn.) -- where Troth had served as an assistant to legendary coach Vic Wallace several years earlier -- for a 32-12 decision.
"This is a great opportunity for two highly competitive conferences to come together and build an annual rivalry," noted former Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Jonathan Quinn, head coach at 2010 HAAC champion MidAmerica Nazarene. "It should be fun for the teams as well as the fans, especially with the proximity of the schools involved."

A French official of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been kidnapped by armed men while travelling from northern Yemen to the Red Sea port city of Hudaida.
The kidnapping of the official, whose identity was not disclosed, comes amid renewed fighting between the military and the Yemeni branch of al-Qaeda in the southern city of Zinjibar that left 19 people killed.
Dibeh Fakhr, an ICRC spokeswoman in Sanaa, said that the man, who works in the northern city of Saada, was kidnapped late on Saturday, about 30 km from Hudaida.
"He was with two Yemeni drivers who the kidnappers released shortly afterwards," Fakhr said.
"Until now we have no contact with the kidnappers or our employee."
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the kidnapping but seizing foreigners or Yemenis is common in
Yemen, and most hostages are freed unharmed.
Unrest in Abyan
In Zinjibar, meanwhile, officials said that 12 Yemeni al-Qaeda fighters and seven soldiers died and nearly 30 fighters were injured during clashes between the group and government forces, who have taken control of the eastern part of the strategic city.
The battle is part of attempts by the Yemeni government to regain parts of the country it lost to al-Qaeda fighters who took advantage of last year's chaotic uprising against the former ruler, Ali Abdullah Saleh, to seize new ground.
Zinjibar, a coastal city, is the capital of Abyan province, and driving al-Qaeda out of it would loosen its grip over Yemen's southern territories. The city also lies near vital shipping lanes through which millions of barrels of oil pass every day.
The fighters buried their dead in the nearby town of Jaar and turned a kindergarten there into a field hospital to treat their injured, medical officials said.
The school was also being used as a command centre by the fighters, the officials said.
They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak to the media.
Government admission
In Lawder, another town in Abyan, at least 250 al-Qaeda fighters and 37 government soldiers had been killed in two weeks of fighting, the Yemeni defence ministry said on Friday.
Government forces are trying to repel efforts by al-Qaeda fighters to regain control over the town which it lost last summer when residents took up arms and pushed the fighters out.
The ministry said on Saturday it was sending more troops to the south in a sign of the intensifying fight there.
The war on al-Qaeda is one of the most challenging tests facing Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, Yemen's new president.
He took power after Saleh stepped down in February as part of power-transfer deal brokered by Arab Gulf countries and backed by the US.
The US believes the Yemen branch of al-Qaeda is the most dangerous arm of the group because of its repeated attempts to carry out attacks in the US.

Officer Roster
The more you play Memoir '44 Online against live opponents (but not Johnny the Computer AI!), the more experience you will gain. Eventually, you will begin to move up the ranks in your career as an army Officer.
Initially, you start the game as a Cadet. To be promoted to Second Lieutenant, you will need to score at least 3 victories against other human opponents.
Moving further up the ranks will progressively become more challenging, reflecting the skills you will have developed. Exactly what is required to move beyond Second Lieutenant is still Classified, and has only been discovered by a few, but Intelligence reports are beginning to come in, offering tantalizing hints of what it may take to advance one's career.
By default, you receive a US Army Officer Insignia and Title, but you may choose to switch this to a diferent nationality: British, Russian, French, German, Japanese or Italian. The Insignia and Title will appear next to your name, and reflect your choice of nationality. The following table gives you the correspondence between the different nationalities.
