Turn Blind Eyes to Remove Timeline Scams
Get your [colors of the rainbow] Facebook and its kin back in business, parallel legitimate "Timeline removal" movement just a matter of perspective
Ever since the Timeline entered the social media scene, plenty of angry voices clamored for their Old Facebook in high pitched diatribes against the blasphemous Facebook account makeovers. Scammers exploited protesters' arduous cries and went about their business along two main lines: change Facebook colors or Remove Timeline altogether.
Recent developments show plenty of new viralization tricks are in store with these beauties (classics such as Post to Profile and Share seem to be going out of style). You've got:
a) Game-like requests sent to hoards of friends
b) A nice page-long story about the installed extension being completely virus-free. VIRUS TOTAL's word!
c) Invitations to underground activism for the creators of the Timeline-disabling tool, accompanied by soft warnings playing the emotional blackmail card ("We do not like people who are not following our steps, so let's all play fair".)
d) The crème de la crème of treachery: creating Facebook ad lookalikes that stimulate virtual word-of-mouth advertising.
The Facebook account customization craze has been riding high for some time now and we've even got a stream of legitimate apps that promise to embellish virtual socialites' houses of (communication) pain. High-profile recommendations about various extensions that enable you to change the way you see your account boost profile customization drives and we've now got ourselves a nice dilemma on our hands: how to tell a good Facebook re-decorator from a bad one?
First off, if the app or extension/add-on you're about to install asks you to pay respects to its artistic skills before you see them at work, just say no. You do want to see the app/extension promise turn to reality before you blindly like dozens of unknown Facebook pages, share messages of praise or resort to other platform-specific recommendations.
Second, as the current trend indicates extensions/add-on installation as the preferred method for account customization scammers, take a look at the details listed in your browser's tools repository. This is where you can read reviews of the tool you've installed and get a sense of how popular it is.
Third, make sure you fully understand the risks of installing a browser extension/add-on. Simply put, while an extension may look ok (even when checked with VirusTotal) for the moment, you never know what scripts it loads every time you open a new Facebook tab. If checking for scripts loaded from third party sites sounds like Chinese to you, then you might want to think twice before hitting any install buttons. That way, you avoid placing any data you type in your browser at the discretion of unknown extension creators.
Fourth, consider how much you really want your Timeline to change. Even with a legitimate app, the most you can achieve is to see your account and everyone else' s accounts through the tinted glass of the installed extension. Everybody else will see your account's non-enhanced look because their browser's vision hasn't been tampered with…so to say. In other words, you'd just be lying to yourself.

October Bulletin Board Ideas
October is quickly approaching and it is time to start thinking about changing your classroom bulletin boards. There is no better month to have a fall theme board than this one and we have some great ideas to get you started. Whether you are searching for an interactive bulletin board, or one for display, we have a few quick and easy boards that will not take you all night to put up.
Reading Patch
Celebrate students' reading achievements by starting a Reading Patch bulletin board near your classroom library. Cover the board in plain brown paper and outline it with a fall theme border. Place cut-out letters at the top to spell out the title "Reading Patch". Have a basket below the board on a table or shelf with small cut out pumpkins. You can use any size pumpkin, but make sure that they are small enough that you will be able to display a lot of them on the board, but not too small that students have a hard time writing on them. Introduce the bulletin board to students and explain that for each book they read, they will be writing the title and author on a pumpkin and hanging it on the board. Set a goal as a class as to how many pumpkins you would like to see in the patch on the last school day in October. When the month is over, take the pumpkins down and count them together to see how many books were read. Students will be motivated to fill up the patch with their paper pumpkins and visitors to your class will be able to see first hand how much your students are reading.
Fire Safety
In most states, fire safety lessons are part of each district's curriculum. While your school may have a local fire department come and give the main lesson, creating a fire safety bulletin board is also a great way to reinforce the important life saving skills that your students need to know. Begin by covering the board in white paper and placing a flame shape border cut from red paper around the edges. In the center, place a picture of your class surrounded by the phrase, "Fire Safety Starts With You!" Create a web of fire safety tips that branch out, but that are connected to the center picture. Include tips about everything from an escape plan at home to Stop-Drop-and-Roll. You can make the board a visual reminder of the safety lessons, or you can make it more interactive by creating a short quiz for students to complete from the information presented. Whether it is interactive or not, students will still benefit from seeing the information on the class bulletin board.
Pumpkin Pie Recipe Math
If your students need practice with their multiplication or addition skills, try creating a pumpkin pie recipe math bulletin board in your room. A colorful, pumpkin theme piece of fabric can be stapled to the board, and blank recipe cards can be hung around it for a border. In the center of the bulletin board, have a large, cut-out of a pumpkin pie or a slice of pie on a plate. Around the pie, place the ingredients lists, with measurements, for three or four different pumpkin pie recipes. Print them out from the computer in a large, easy to read font. Include directions on the back of each recipe that tell the students to double, triple, quadruple or cut the recipe in half. Their task is then to use the original measurements to figure out how much of each ingredient they will need to create more pies. This gives them the opportunity to add, subtract, multiply and divide. Create easy to use answer sheets for them to record their measurements for each recipe. If possible, laminate the recipe cards or place them in clear sheet protectors, so that they will last the entire month.
What are some of your favorite bulletin boards for October?
Do you have one that you use year after year?
Share with us! We'd love to hear your ideas!

Neither the openntpd nor the ntpd.conf manpage have this information.
Time updating happens on a continuous basis. The daemon keeps track of how the time-rate of the hardware clock drifts from the time reported by the upstream sources. It polls the upstream sources based on an algorithm and can change. The actual poll-rate is a power-of-two in seconds. You can query this information through the
Different time daemons have different defaults for what it'll allow the maximum poll time to be. I've seen it go as long as a couple of days between polls of upstream servers, and others where it never goes past about 20 minutes. The
Upstream polling is used to determine how to modify the drift rate. It is very important for the NTP daemon to not hard-set time, instead it just increases the length of a second by a tiny amount for a while until the local time converges with the time reported by the upstream time servers.
NTPd is always actively adjusting the time. It works by speeding up the length of a second or slowing it down to bring the time into sync gradually. A sudden change in time can be problematic for many services / daemons. It's widely considered better practice to correct it this way. If you are sure you won't be affected and need a quick sync for a clock that's way off, stop the ntpd service and use the ntpdate command.

Becoming a magical person does not happen overnight. Some people adapt more quickly than others in various areas. It may take you sometime to feel comfortable about carrying your tools and accessories with you. Most people begin by choosing a piece of jewelry as a protective amulet or as a symbol of their new reality.
As you feel the need for different items, you may start zipping around town getting quite a collection of magickal supplies. Even the most closeted Witch tends to tell at least one very close friend or family member of their Craft Association, and often are called upon by that person for help.
If you are so inclined as to share that knowledge, then you may want to carry a few items with you for those " out of the blue " requests. Plastic boxes especially filers with compartments and handles work well for transportation of many items. There are boxes that can be placed between the two bucket seatsin a car, complete with writing on top. For smaller items that you wish to carry on your person, a little leather or cloth pouch pinned under shirts, trouser cuffs, or undergarments work well.
Pouches can also be strung about the neck but if this is too noticeable and you are a woman, you can sew the pouch onto a garter. This works well if the lady is going somewhere that she cannot take a purse, or wished to keep the item close to her at all times.

Broken or Knocked-out Teeth (cont.)
Broken or Knocked-Out Teeth Treatment
Before focusing on the teeth, be certain that a life- or limb-threatening injury is not present. For example, if someone fell 10 feet and is not responding, and there is a puddle of blood by the mouth with teeth scattered about, don't assume there is an isolated injury to the teeth. In the grand scheme of things, dental injuries can wait.

U of M capital improvements to enhance research, education
Regents also to act on FY15 operating budget
June 6, 2014
Funding allocated to the University of Minnesota by the Minnesota Legislature — $119.4 million — will allow the U to advance world-class research that addresses the state's most pressing challenges, fuels our economy and better prepares nearly 70,000 U of M students for a global marketplace.
The University's Board of Regents will conduct a final review and act on these projects, part of the annual capital improvement budget, at its meetings Thursday and Friday, June 12-13.
Renovations to 87-year-old Tate Laboratory on the Twin Cities campus ($56 million) and the Crookston campus wellness center ($10 million) received full funding from the state. Partial funding for Higher Education Asset Preservation and Replacement (HEAPR) projects ($42.5 million), the Twin Cities-St. Paul campus aquatic invasive species and bee laboratories ($8.7 million) and a new chemical sciences and advanced materials building on the Duluth campus ($1.5 million) was also approved.
The capital improvement budget, which includes the projects listed above as well as additional University investments, will authorize $367.8 million to begin design or construction this year.
Tuition freeze, administrative savings, academic investments
The Board will also act on President Eric Kaler's recommended FY15 operating budget that freezes tuition for Minnesota resident undergraduates for the second year in a row, commits to more than $20 million in administrative cost savings and invests more than $23 million in academic excellence.
These academic investments include: new faculty hires in critical fields, classroom and lab upgrades, instructional and student support and academic support improvements. In addition to the $23 million for these areas, the budget includes $15 million toward a merit-based compensation pool increase of 2.5 percent to retain and recruit world-class faculty and staff.
First presented to Regents in May, the proposed budget will be reviewed during the Board's Finance Committee meeting Thursday, June 12. The Board will take final action June 13.
As part of ongoing efforts by the Board and administration, the Board will also apply the FY15 budget to a long-range financial planning analysis to ensure continued responsible use of the U's limited resources.
Other agenda items include:
- Neighborhood engagement. The Board will discuss the University's engagement efforts for the vitality and safety of the neighborhoods surrounding the Minneapolis campus and consider a resolution outlining new approaches to that engagement. More than ever before, U students are living near campus and walk, bike or commute through adjacent neighborhoods to attend class, conduct research or participate in other on-campus activities. The U wants to ensure a vibrant, welcoming, safe and attractive environment in and around campus for all students, faculty and staff as well as visitors to campus. President Kaler called for this initiative in his State of the University address and assessing neighborhood development impacts on campus is part of the Board's 2013-14 work plan.
- Student housing trends. More housing options are available to students than ever before. New on-campus facilities are open on the Crookston, Duluth, Morris and Twin Cities campuses. Neighborhoods near the Twin Cities campus now have 14,000 housing units available or in the pipeline. This discussion will update on-campus housing systemwide, outline the U's approach to on-campus housing — including its relationship to student retention and timely graduation — and review national trends that impact today's on-campus living environments.
- Maximizing physical assets. Vice President for University Services Pamela Wheelock will lead a conversation about projecting future needs for University facilities. The goal is to ensure decision-making emphasizes the right space, for the right use, in the right place. This is the third presentation in a yearlong series about the U's physical assets.
- Solving grand challenges. In an update on the strategic planning process, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Karen Hanson and members of the Strategic Planning teams will review progress to date and highlight next steps, including University wide listening sessions, group discussions and forums.
- A student's perspective. The Student Representatives to the Board will discuss debt loads and financial literacy efforts, including the award winning Live Like a Student campaign, what it means to be one U of M system and the University's sexual assault response protocol.
- Next year is here. With a new academic year beginning July 1, the Board will establish meeting dates for the 2014-15 year.
Committee meetings will begin 8 a.m. Thursday. The full Board will meet at 9 a.m. Friday. More information, including meeting times and locations, can be found at www.umn.edu/regents.

A 1989 NYC murder conviction against a 51-year-old man is set to be overturned this week, after the accused and innocent man spent a quarter of a century behind prison bars for a heinous crime he didn't commit. Not only was Jonathan Fleming innocent of the murder, he was over 1,000 miles away the day it happened, yet he was still found guilty in a 1990 trial.
Reports The Associated Press on Tuesday, Fleming "spent almost a quarter-century behind bars for murder was freed Tuesday and cleared of a killing that happened when he was 1,100 miles away on a Disney World vacation."
On August 15, 1989, as Fleming was vacationing in Orlando, Florida, his friend Darryl Rush was shot and killed in a dispute that allegedly had to do with money. A witness for the prosecutor, a female, placed Fleming at the scene and even said she had witnessed the murder. She later recanted her story, telling investigators it was a complete fabrication.
Even though she withdrew her testimony in 1990, and even though defense attorneys placed postcards, videos and plane tickets into evidence to show Fleming was nowhere near the crime, he was found guilty and sentenced to prison.
His family members called it a complete "travesty of justice," and have been fighting the conviction for decades now.
Reports the Inquisitr as to what finally caused Fleming's appeal to be won:
A key eyewitness withdrew testimony, new eyewitnesses implicated a different suspect, and more importantly, a hotel receipt admitted into evidence places Fleming at a Florida hotel at the time of the NYC murder in 1989, according to defense attorneys Anthony Mayol and Taylor Koss.
"He is elated and stunned, while tempered by the fact that he realizes that this is just the first step in getting his life back," Koss commented.
Says the AP report:
The exoneration... comes amid scrutiny of Brooklyn prosecutors' process for reviewing questionable convictions — scrutiny that comes partly from the new DA Kenneth Thompson himself. He unseated longtime DA Charles "Joe" Hynes last year after a campaign that focused partly on wrongful convictions on Hynes' watch. Hynes had created a special conviction integrity unit to review false-conviction claims, but some saw the effort as slow-moving and defensive.

Docket No. AB 384 (Sub-No. 3X)
Delta Southern Railroad, Inc. - Abandonment Exemption –
in Desha and Chicot Counties, Ark.
In this proceeding, Delta Southern Railroad, Inc. (DSR), filed a petition for exemption under 49 C.F.R. § 10502 for exemption from the provisions of 49 U.S.C. § 10903 to abandon a 24.1 mile line of railroad between milepost 408.9, near McGehee and milepost 433.0, near Lake Village, in Desha and Chicot Counties, AR (Line). The Line extends between a point of connection with the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) near McGehee and a point of connection with Southeast Arkansas Economic Development District (SAEDD) near Lake Village. SAEDD acquired a connecting 21.8 mile rail segment between Lake Village and the Arkansas-Louisiana State Line from DSR in 2005 following a class exemption for abandonment.
The Line traverses U.S. Postal Zip Codes 71638, 71653, and 71654 and does not contain any federally granted rights-of-way. DSR states that the Line would be appropriate for alternative public use as a recreational trail. A map depicting the Line in relationship to the area served is appended to this Environmental Assessment (EA).
According to DSR, there is a single shipper on the Line, Epstein Gin (Epstein), who is a shipper of cottonseeds. Because of poor track conditions, the Line was embargoed on November 2, 2010.[1] Due to the Lines lone shipper and the Line's poor condition, DSR believes that there is no reasonable alternative to abandonment. If the Board should approve this proposed abandonment, DSR states that it would salvage the track materials and that the salvaged components would be sold for reuse, rerolling[2] or as scrap.
DSR submitted an Environmental Report that concludes the quality of the human environment will not be affected significantly as a result of the abandonment or any post-abandonment activities, including salvage and disposition of the right-of-way. DSR served the Environmental Report on a number of appropriate federal, state, and local agencies as required by the Surface Transportation Board's (Board) environmental rules (49 C.F.R. § 1105.7(b)).[3] The Board's Office of Environmental Analysis (OEA) has reviewed and investigated the record in this proceeding.
Diversion of Traffic
As stated above, DSR reports that the Line was embargoed on November 2, 2010, due to unsafe track conditions. According to DSR, the Line does not comply with minimum Federal Railroad Administration Class I standards and the 8 bridges on the Line require extensive repair. DSR states that Epstein has been the Line's sole shipper for the past 10 years. DSR notes that Epstein is located in Lake Village, near milepost 431.7, approximately 2.7 miles north of the southern terminus of the proposed abandonment.
DSR states that Epstein's rail traffic has declined dramatically. According to DSR, Epstein shipped 451 carloads in 2008, 81 carloads in 2009 and 20 carloads during the 10 months of 2010. Epstein states that it would have shipped an additional 40 carloads had the Line not been embargoed. DSR notes that it is unlikely that other shippers would relocate to the Line—no shippers have done so in the past 10 years.
DSR believes that any rail-to-truck diversions would result in minimal impacts to regional or local transportation systems and patterns because Epstein only moved 81 carloads in 2009. Furthermore, DSR states that there are facilities located in both Jerome, AR (25 miles from Lake Village) and Portland, AR (22 miles from Lake Village) designed for truck-to-rail transloading of cottonseeds. DSR states that both Jerome and Portland are accessed via U.S. Highway 82 and Arkansas Highway 165 and that both are also rail served by UP's main line route from Little Rock, AR, and New Orleans, LA.
DSR notes that the abandonment, if approved, would result in a minor change in overall energy efficiency because 81 carloads per year transported by rail would be transported by less efficient transportation modes (rail-to-truck diversions). OEA calculates that, based on a conversion factor of 4 trucks needed to move the same goods as 1 rail car, the 81 carloads moved by DSR in 2009 would result in 324 additional trucks or 648 total truck movements each year. This would be fewer than 3 truck movements per day, assuming a five-day per week work schedule. This de minimus total would result in minimal adverse impacts.
DSR concludes in its environmental report that there is no reasonable alternative to abandonment. DSR states that it is seeking abandonment approval for the following reasons: 1) operation of the Line is unprofitable; 2) there is no reasonable prospect for profitable operations; 3) the Line requires substantial rehabilitation; and 4) Epstein has feasible transportation alternatives.
Salvage Activities
If the Board approves the proposed abandonment, DSR would salvage the track materials and sell the salvaged components for reuse, rerolling or as scrap. If approved, DSR states that salvage would occur as follows:
Upon receipt of abandonment authority, DSR would remove track and track material by accessing the rail right-of-way for access, in conjunction with existing public and private at-grade crossings. DSR intends to build no new access roads as part of its salvage activities on the Line. DSR would not disturb any of the underlying roadbed or perform any activities that would cause sedimentation or erosion of the soil, and does not anticipate any dredging or use of fill in the removal of the track material. The crossties and/or other debris would be transported from the Line and would not be placed or left in streams or wetlands or along the banks of such waterways. Moreover, DSR would implement appropriate measures to prevent or control spills from fuels, lubricants or any other pollutant materials from entering any waterways.
According to DSR, if the Board were to approve this proposed abandonment, public health and safety would be enhanced by the permanent closure of public and private at-grade crossings.
Comments Received from Agencies
In a letter dated December 15, 2010, the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission indicates that it supports the proposed abandonment. A number of agencies responded that they had no comment on the proposed abandonment. These agencies include the Arkansas Forestry Commission, the Arkansas Geological Survey (which also supports the proposed abandonment), the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, the Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department, and the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
According to DSR, the proposed abandonment is unlikely to adversely affect endangered or threatened species or areas designated as critical habitat. Furthermore, abandonment would not affect wildlife sanctuaries or refuges, National or state parks or forests.
In a letter dated December 27, 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) states that the federally endangered Interior Least Tern (Sterna antillarum athalassos) is known to occur in both Desha and Chicot Counties, AR, where it nests on sand and gravel islands. The species breeds between May 15th and August 1st. The USFWS recommends that if observations reveal Interior Least Tern breeding activity within one-half mile of the proposed activity, no action should proceed prior to consultation with the USFWS.
Accordingly, OEA will recommend a condition requiring that prior to commencement of any salvage activities, DSR shall consult with Ms. Lindsey Lewis, USFWS (501.513.4489) or the Arkansas Ecological Services Staff (501) 513.4487) regarding potential impacts from salvaging activities to the breeding activities of the federally listed endangered Interior Least Tern (Sterna antillarum athalassos) that may occur near the Line. DSR shall report the results of these consultations in writing to the Board's Office of Environmental Analysis prior to the onset of salvage operations.
According to DSR, it has no records that indicate any known hazardous material spills or hazardous waste sites that may have occurred or are located along the Line.
DSR states that, if approved, it believes that the abandonment would be consistent with all water quality standards and that no permits under Sections 402 or 404 of the Clean Water Act would be required. Furthermore, DSR notes that the abandonment would not affect any designated wetlands or 100-year floodplains.
OEA believes that any air emissions associated with salvage operations would be temporary and would not have a significant impact on air quality. Noise associated with salvage activities would also be temporary and should not have a significant impact on the area surrounding the proposed abandonment.
Based on all information available to date, OEA does not believe that should salvage occur that such activities would cause significant environmental impacts. OEA is providing a copy of this EA to the National Geodetic Survey, USFWS, and the Corps.
In its Historic Report, DSR states that right-of-way is approximately 100 feet wide and traverses through a rural area. According to DSR, there are 8 bridges on the Line all of which are thought to be 50 years old or older.[4] The bridges are located at the following mileposts:
· Milepost 413.8 – 14 feet long.
· Milepost 420.6 – 43 feet long.
· Milepost 421.9 – 60 feet long.
· Milepost 425.6 – 197 feet long.
· Milepost 426.4 – 141 feet long.
· Milepost 429.0 – 141 feet long.
· Milepost 429.3 – 28 feet long.
· Milepost 429.6 – 71 feet long.
DSR concludes that it does not believe that the Line meets the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and that it is unaware of any archeological resources or any other previously unknown historic properties within the proposed project area.
The McGehee-Lake Village Line was constructed as the Memphis, Helena & Louisiana line of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad (StLIMSR) and opened on December 1, 1903. In 1917, the Line was merged with the StLIMSR and reorganized as the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company (MP). MP later merged with the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) on January 8, 1980. UP then sold the Line to DSR in January 14, 1989.
On July 4, 1851, at St. Louis, MO, ground-breaking for the Pacific Railroad marked the beginning of what would later be known as the MP. The first section of track was completed in 1852. In 1865, it became the first railroad to serve Kansas City, MO, after construction was interrupted by the American Civil War. In 1872, the Pacific Railroad was reorganized as the Missouri Pacific Railway by new investors after a railroad debt crisis. Because of corporate ties extending back to the Pacific Railroad, Missouri Pacific at one time advertised itself as being The First Railroad West of the Mississippi.
From 1879, Missouri Pacific was under the control of highly successful but extremely controversial New York financier Jay Gould, until his death in 1892. Gould developed a system extending through Colorado, Nebraska, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana. His son, George Gould, inherited control upon his father's death. The younger Gould lost control of the company after it declared bankruptcy in 1915. In 1917, the line was merged with the StLIMSR and reorganized as MP. MP later acquired or gained a controlling interest in other lines in Tex., including the Gulf Coast Lines, International-Great Northern Railroad, and the Texas Pacific Railway.
MP declared bankruptcy again in 1933, during the Great Depression, and entered into trusteeship. The company was reorganized and the trusteeship ended in 1956.
By the 1980s the system would own 11,469 miles of rail line over 11 states bounded by Chicago, IL to the east, Pueblo, CO, in the west, north to Omaha, NE, south to the U.S.-Mexico border in Laredo, Texas, and southeast along the Gulf seaports of Louisiana and Texas. MP operated a fleet of more than 1,500 diesel locomotives, almost all purchased within the previous 10 years. The company was a pioneer in the early days of computer-guided rail technology. It was a major hauler of grain, Trailer on Flat Car, coal, ore, autos and dry goods. At the time of their merger in 1982, MP owned more and newer locomotives and operated more track than partner UP.
DSR served the Historic Report as required by the Board's environmental rules (49 C.F.R. § 1105.8(a)) and served the report on the Arkansas Department of Heritage, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 1105.8(c). Based on available information, the SHPO in a letter dated November 23, 2010, states that 6 archeological sites and 3 historic sites are located near the subject area. However, the SHPO finds that archeological and historic sites would not be affected by the proposed abandonment and therefore has no objection. Furthermore, OEA notes that none of the above identified archaeological and historic sites, listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), are located within the right-of-way (the Area of Potential Effect, or APE) of the proposed abandonment.
Pursuant to the Section 106 regulations of the National Historic Preservation Act at 36 C.F.R. § 800.4(d)(1), and following consultation with the SHPO and the public, we have determined that the proposed abandonment would not affect historic properties listed in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register. The documentation for this finding, as specified at 36 C.F.R. § 800.11(d), consists of the railroad's historic report, all relevant correspondence, and this EA, which have been provided to the SHPO and made available to the public through posting on the Board's website at http://www.stb.dot.gov.
Pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 800.2, OEA conducted a search of the Native American Consultation Database to identify federally-recognized tribes that may have ancestral connections to the project area.[5] The database indicated that the Quapaw Tribe of Indians, a federally-recognized tribe, may have knowledge regarding properties of traditional religious and cultural significance within the right-of-way (the APE) of the proposed abandonment. Accordingly, OEA is sending a copy of this EA to the Quapaw Tribe of Indians for review and comment.
We recommend that the following condition be imposed on any decision granting abandonment authority:
DSR Transportation, Inc., shall consult with Ms. Lindsey Lewis, USFWS (501.513.4489) or the Arkansas Ecological Services Staff (501) 513.4487) regarding potential impacts from salvaging activities to the breeding activities of the federally listed endangered Interior Least Tern (Sterna antillarum athalassos) that may occur near the Line. DSR shall report the results of these consultations in writing to the Board's Office of Environmental Analysis prior to the onset of salvage operations.
Based on the information provided from all sources to date, OEA concludes that, as currently proposed, and if the recommended condition is imposed, that abandonment of the line will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment. Therefore, the environmental impact statement process is unnecessary.
Alternatives to the proposed abandonment would include denial (and therefore no change in operations), discontinuance of service without abandonment, and continued operation by another operator. In any of these cases, the existing quality of the human environment and energy consumption should not be affected.
Following abandonment and salvage of the rail line, the right-of-way may be suitable for other public use. A request containing the requisite 4-part showing for imposition of a public use condition (49 C.F.R. § 1152.28) must be filed with the Board and served on the railroad within the time specified in the Federal Register notice.
A request for a notice of interim trail use (NITU) is due to the Board, with a copy to the railroad, within 10 days of publication of the notice of exemption in the Federal Register. Nevertheless, the Board will accept late-filed requests as long as it retains jurisdiction to do so in a particular case. This request must comply with the Board's rules for use of rights-of-way as trails (49 C.F.R. § 1152.29).
DSR states that the Line would be appropriate for alternative public use as a recreational trail.
The Board's Office of Public Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and Compliance responds to questions regarding interim trail use, public use, and other reuse alternatives. You may contact this office directly at (202) 245-0238, or mail inquiries to Surface Transportation Board, Office of Public Assistance, Governmental Affairs, and Compliance, Washington, DC 20423.

The Shasta County Sheriff's Office charged 63-year-old Patrick Tenerelli on Friday with the attempted homicide of Anthony Helean.
Helean, 34, was found outside a residence in the 11000 block of Woggon Lane suffering from multiple gun-shots wounds on Nov. 14.
The home where Helean was found was later identified as belonging to Tenerelli who was not present when deputies arrived on the scene.
Sheriff's deputies spotted Tenerelli's vehicle on Lake Boulevard later that evening and arrested him on charges of a felon in possession of ammunition following a search of his vehicle.
Tenerelli was booked into the Shasta County Jail on that charge but the attempted homicide investigation continued into the afternoon on Nov. 14.
A search warrant was served on Tenerelli's residence where sheriff's officials say they found more evidence of his involvement in the shooting.
The following day an additional search was executed on the vehicle Tenerelli was driving at the time of his arrest. According to deputies this search revealed more evidence of his connection to the crime, prompting them to file charges on Tenerelli in connection with the shooting of Helean.
Tenerelli was charged with one count of attempted homicide along with other related charges for illegally possessing firearms as a convicted felon. Tenerielli is currently incarcerated at the Shasta County Jail with a listed bail of $500,000.

Samsung C3110 gets FCC approval
In case you had any doubts if Samsung is still in the business of making phones that people use to call other people, here's proof. Up for launch soon is a new basic slider phone that's eerily reminiscent of the Samsung D500. It even has much of the same features to boot.
It will be called the Samsung C3110, a relatively easy to use phone with very simple features, but with the added convenience of Bluetooth connectivity as well as an FM radio for music on the go. It won't have support for 3G speeds, but that should be OK since this phone isn't intended for surfing the Internet or video calls.
Really, this phone is best used for messaging, as its screen and alphanumeric keypad appear to be comfortable in use. No info about pricing or availability is known at the moment, but judging from its photos and specs, it's definitely not going to cost much. You'll have to check out the FCC for a bit more info on it.

(Coquille) The Department of Consumer and Business Services, Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) announced that the Roseburg Forest Products (RFP) plywood plant in Coquille
has become a 'SHARP Graduate' in the Oregon OSHA Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
SHARP is a recognition program that provides an incentive and road map for Oregon employers to work with their employees to find and correct hazards, to develop and implement effective safety-and-health
programs, to continuously improve, and become self-sufficient in managing occupational safety-and-health issues. Currently, 100 employers in Oregon participate in the safety-and-health recognition
program, with 24 achieving SHARP Graduate status.
During the past three years of being a SHARP employer, the Coquille plywood plant reduced the number of injuries that resulted in a day of work being lost by 75 percent. In 2004, RFP Coquille
maintained a workplace injury and illness rate that was 56 percent below the statewide industry average for plywood producers.
"Continuous improvement in safety and health benefits everyone," said Michael Wood, administrator of Oregon OSHA. "Workers come home safe to their families, productivity improves
and business costs from accidents go down. Participating in SHARP helps employers see those benefits right away."
Membership in SHARP does not restrict Oregon OSHA regulatory enforcement for workplace safety and health, and employees retain all workplace safety and health rights contained in the Oregon Safe
Employment Act. Oregon employers who have been in business for more than one year are eligible to apply for SHARP regardless of size or type of business.
Keep your employees and workplaces safe through a commitment to training, education and elimination of hazards. More information and resources are available on Oregon OSHA's Web site, www.orosha.org
For additional information about the SHARP program, contact Mark Hurliman with Oregon OSHA at (503) 947-7437.

EUGENE, Ore. ?- The top-ranked Arizona softball team (30-4, 1-1) defeated Oregon (17-11, 0-1) in UA's second Pac-10 game of the season. The Wildcat victory comes one day after losing their first Pac-10 opener since 1991.
Three-time All-American Alicia Hollowell (15-1) tossed a complete-game in her first appearance since being hit in the face with a line-drive comebacker off the bat of a Texas Longhorn hitter on March 19.
Hollowell returned in dominant fashion, striking out 11 Ducks in seven innings and allowing only five hits.
The Wildcat hitters touched up UO pitchers Alicia Cook and Melissa Rice for four runs on 11 hits, and every UA starter had at least one hit. Last week's Pac-10 Player of the Week, Chelsie Mesa, went 2-for-4 with a double, with a pair of RBI, leading the UA offense.
UA shortstop Kristie Fox, who had two of Arizona's five hits in Friday's loss to Oregon State, scored a run and had an RBI. Fox also extended her team-leading hitting streak to five games.
Up next: The Wildcats take on Oregon again tomorrow at 2 p.m. (MST), before returning home for their Pac-10 home opener against Washington next Friday at Hillenbrand Stadium.

OAKLAND, Calif., May 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ – Ask.com, a leading online brand for questions and answers, today announced the results of its Office Workplace Productivity study, which reveals the preferences and habits of American office workers when it comes to an optimally productive workplace environment.
Among the key findings: 86 percent of respondents1 prefer to work alone to hit maximum productivity, suggesting that, while group-oriented workplace perks like foosball and bean bag lounges have become popular tools for unlocking creativity and boosting morale, they don't always drive efficiency. Additionally, the preference to work from home isn't as prevalent as it may seem; a majority of respondents prefer to spend "focus time" in their personal workspace (63 percent) as compared to those who'd rather work at home (29 percent).
The study was conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of Ask.com among 2,060 adults ages 18 and older in March 2013.
"This research gives us broader context when thinking about the workplace culture we're trying to foster," said Lisa Ross , vice president of human resources at Ask.com. "It also yielded some unexpected findings. For example, while working from home policies have been hotly debated in the media, it appears most office workers actually prefer working in an office environment, as long as companies facilitate focus time and minimize distractions."
The study indicates that distractions tend to come in the form of noisy colleagues (61 percent). In addition to cherishing alone time, it appears many office employees who have a boss need distance from their managers, with 20 percent saying they would prefer to have more work responsibilities than sit alongside their bosses. Even when colleagues are nearby, nearly one-half (46 percent) of respondents report they mostly communicate with them through IM, e-mail or phone over face-to-face interaction. Nearly one-quarter (24 percent) of respondents signal meeting fatigue, claiming to spend more time in meetings discussing work than actually executing it.
Detailed findings from the report include:
Do Not Disturb
Survey findings indicate employees like easy accessibility to their broader team, but cherish uninterrupted focus time.
Won't You Be My Neighbor?
While the survey indicates clear focus time is critical, team interaction is as well. With the potential longevity of cube and office mates, it's no wonder employees have strong preferences when it comes to personal workspace and seating configurations.
"Face-time and group collaboration are critical to success, but it's interesting to see the significant value placed on fostering concentration and limiting outside static," continued Ross. "It's important for today's employers to adapt environments to effectively strike that balance."

Tropical Flurry was a company operating under IAF Beverages. This company claimed to be a franchise that would provide its clients with 44 slushy machines and a large territory for sales in exchange for $160,000. The owner of the company stated that you could easily make your money back selling solely to schools in your area. He explained to interested franchisees that the fruit slushy drinks counted as a serving of fruit and that schools would snatch them up in a heartbeat and receive funding from the USDA which made it easy for any franchisee to get paid.
What he neglected to mention was, that even though they would normally have counted as a serving of fruit, they were made in China yet processed in Texas. It would be impossible for schools to get approval on any product that didn't come with the correct certification. Even if the products did get certification, would any parent really want their child chugging down a drink on a daily basis that was made in China? My sister-in-law needed affordable child care in Long Island, so I recommended she use the same daycare center that my neighbor's 3 year old daughter attends.Many investors found themselves out of money with no recourse. Apparently, the owner of the company fled with the money and there was just no way to recuperate it, as the company was in the names of his family members and not himself. If you feel that you have been betrayed by IAF Beverages, you should do a Google search to find out the latest actions being taken against this company. There are, apparently, many distraught individuals out there who would like to move forward with a lawsuit or see the managing owner in jail. My friends and I spent an entire day at a Long Island day spa where we got facials, manicures, pedicures and massages.

This is my a recap of Top Chef Episode 7. Recently, I have become addicted to this show. First off I have to say that Bart is my favorite and whom I am routing for. The amazing dishes he comes up with give a sense of home and spunk. I can not imagine being in his head. If I ever have the chance to come close to one of his restaurants I have made a promise to myself that I will stop in and enjoy the strangest combination on the menu.
This is Bart 🙂 Picture from Bravo
With that being said, I do not like Josie because I feel like she isn't taking the opportunity seriously. It is not fair for her to still be there this far in the show when there is others that really show a concern in winning and trying with every inspiration in them. Many do not like Stefan, though I think he is hilarious and just abrupt. He knows what he wants and he makes pretty fabulous food. A bit arrogant but I feel he has the talents to be a bit arrogant.
While I will not give away whom won the quickfire or the elimination rounds I will say I like whom went and who won. I would like to see Bart in the contention but that is probably cause I favor every items he makes even if the judges do not approve. In the quickfire round they have to cook only with Reynolds aluminum foil and absolutely no cooking utensils or vessels. I was pretty impressed that Bart even made a strainer. In the elimination round, the chefs are whisked off to Remlinger Farms to cook with berries. Some of the combination were non-edible and others were fantastic! Kristen with the tayberry was a brilliant exposition of the berry. Bart's Blackberry Soup with Salmon and Rhubarb Yogurt sounds amazing and like he says it would definitely pair better with crab in my mind then the salmon. If you have not had a chance to watch the show you must! My family and I have become addicted to this show. The show Top Chef Seattle is on Bravo on Wednesdays 10/9c (November 7th 2012 to March 6th 2013).
And… I get to offer you a chance to win a 12 month subscription to Food and Wine magazine! All you have to do is comment on this post and share either your favorite Holiday recipe or Top Chef challenge or moment. Winner will be selected on 12/26/2012.

L.A. Kings will be going head to head with Buffalo Sabres this Thursday, November 7th at 7:30 p.m. at STAPLES Center.
This past Sunday, L.A. Kings faced Nashville Predators ending in a close match. In the first period, center player David Legwand from the Predators, snap shot the puck and made a goal; followed by a goal made by Predators' player Shea Weber. The Predators buried both of their first period goals during man-advantage situations, however, Kings managed to drive a goal before the period ending, making the score 2-1.
The third period was a different ballgame. Dustin Brown tipped in his third goal of the season to cut the deficit to one goal midway through the period, and just 1:37 later, Mike Richards buried home a rebound from a Tyler Toffoli shot to tie the game at three.
The comeback was short lived. Nashville Predators scored yet another goal, ending the game in a win. The final score was 4-3.
Let's hope the L.A. Kings have better luck this Thursday during their game against the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres recently played Anaheim Ducks this past Saturday at First Niagara Center, New York. The game looked promising for the Sabres as they made the first goal of the game in the second period. However, their luck turned quickly. Anaheim Ducks scored three goals shortly after.
The game ended in with a final score of 6-3, with Ducks taking the lead.
L.A. Kings and Buffalo Sabres need to make up for their losses. Who will win this Thursday's game? To purchase tickets visit AXS.com. Event suites are also available in multi-event Entertainment plans or on an individual game basis. Suites sizes vary and can accommodate groups of 12 to 132 people.

Those fries you ordered are far more valuable than you think… or at least their grease is. Restaurants and police across the country are reporting thefts of grease intended for conversion into biodiesel, and the suspected grease pirates are people who take it for home biodiesel brewing. Biodiesel has gone mainstream, and its value has increased as the cost of conventional diesel fuel has also increased, with places reporting a rise in price from 30 cents a gallon to $1.25 a gallon for waste oil (still a huge bargain compared to conventional fuel, diesel or not). Turns out those little golden spuds might be worth their weight in gold.
It was bound to happen

New FCC Chief May Aid Tech Development
By Timothy Hay
President Barack Obama's formal nomination of Julius Genachowski as the head of the Federal Communications Commission gives venture capitalists a pal in the shaping of wireless technology regulation.
Genachowski, whose appointment had been speculated for weeks, is both a successful entrepreneur and venture capitalist. His inside knowledge of how new technology is developed could inform his decision-making on everything from the national rollout of digital television to which companies will deliver Internet connectivity to rural areas, venture capitalists say.
A Harvard University classmate of Obama, Genachowski spearheaded the high-tech campaigning that helped Obama win the presidential election. Genachowski is a co-founder of LaunchBox Digital, a Washington-based accelerator program launched last year that has so far backed nine early-stage companies. He also co-founded another Washington venture firm, Rock Creek Ventures, which launched in 2007 and has made at least 13 investments.
Both LaunchBox and Rock Creek have backed a wide range of companies, many of which have no direct link to wireless communications. But both firms provided rounds for voice-over Internet company Bandwidth.com, which is squarely in the mobile technology arena. LaunchBox also backed mobile games platform maker Mpowerplayer Inc. and Rock Creek invested in Truveo Inc., a video company with a popular application in Apple Inc.'s App Store.
He serves on the board of Thummit Inc., a Rock Creek portfolio company that offers a social-recommendation service to mobile-phone users. Genachowski was also an executive for eight years at IAC/InterActiveCorp.
Investors say Genachowski, 46, is pro-competition, and one area that can use more healthy competition is coast-to-coast broadband delivery. Incumbent wireless operators and relatively obscure start-up companies like M2Z Networks Inc. have been vying for the chance to deliver connectivity to rural and underserved parts of the country, and a new FCC chairman could tip the scale in favor of the little guys, investors said.
Should a new FCC chairman push for more Wi-Fi mesh or WiMax systems to be built – in the interest of giving consumers more choices – equipment makers like Wi-Fi company SkyPilot Networks Inc. or WiMax hardware maker PureWave Networks Inc. would almost certainly see a major spike in business.
Additionally, Genachowski will have the final say on how unlicensed radio spectrum is used, another issue that could impact fledgling companies.

This novel super-charged compound paves the way to develop enhanced anti-aging and healthcare products by neutralizing most of the lethal free-radicals that cause damage to body cells. In her research, Janelle demonstrated the powerful antioxidant behavior of NCC for the first time. According to Tam, NCC is stable, water-soluble, harmless, and renewable as it derives from trees.
NCC is a lightweight material with high flexibility and durability and is stronger than steel. It holds potential in innumerable applications. Janelle informed that NCC is a hot research field in Canada.
To create the anti-oxidant compound, Janelle chemically paired a buckminster fullerene, a nanomaterial, with NCC. Janelle stated that these buckyballs have already been utilized in anti-aging and cosmetic products. This unique combination of NCC and buckyballs behaved like a 'nano-vacuum' to extract and neutralize free radicals.
Janelle is excited about the results of the study. Cellulose has already been utilized as a stabilizer and filler in numerous vitamin products. With the help of NCC, She believes that these products may be used as super-charged free radical neutralizers in the future.
The first large-scale NCC manufacturing facility in the world was opened at a pulp and paper mill located in Windsor, Quebec, in January 2012. NCC is derived from cellulose utilizing a chemical process like the one utilized in pulp mills.

Tech Begins Homestand Against No. 7 Baylor Tuesday
April 13, 2009
LUBBOCK, Texas - The 35th-ranked Texas Tech men's tennis team begins a three-match homestand to close the regular season on Tues., April 14, as the Red Raiders face No. 7 Baylor at 6 p.m., at the McLeod Tennis Center.
The match is the first of three for the Red Raiders as they also play host to No. 31 Oklahoma State at 6 p.m. Friday (April 17) and No. 34 Oklahoma at 1 p.m. Sunday (April 19).
Tuesday's match, however, has Big 12 implications as the Bears (19-5; 4-0) would clinch at least a share of their eighth-consecutive conference regular-season title with a win. The Red Raiders (12-8; 1-2), on the other hand, would inch closer up the Big 12 standings and booster its NCAA Championship resume with a quality win.
Tech picked up its first conference win on Sunday, downing No. 55 Nebraska, 5-2, in Lincoln. In the match, the Red Raiders played maybe its best in singles of the season, picking up four wins and the doubles point without lineup regular Gonzalo Escobar.
The Bears have had Tech's number in years past, winning the previous 13 meetings with the Red Raiders last victory coming in 1996. Baylor has struggled on the road this season, however, going 4-4, while Tech is currently riding an 11-match win streak at the McLeod Tennis Center. Tech's last home loss was a 4-3 loss on April 20, 2007, to Oklahoma.
Baylor sports one of the toughest lineups in the nation with two players - Denes Lukacs (No. 7) and Jordan Rux (No. 44) - ranked in the top 50 in singles, while Rux and David Galic combine for the No. 74 doubles tandem in the nation. The Bears have started matches well in conference play, winning the doubles point in all four matches. Baylor enters the weekend having won 13 of its last 15 matches and is 13-5 against ranked opponents this season.
The Red Raiders will look to counter with strong performances at the top of its lineup as 58th-ranked Raony Carvalho and Sinisa Markovic combine for a 25-11 duals record this spring, while the 12th-ranked duo of Carvalho and Christian Rojmar are 12-5 in doubles. Tech has won the doubles point in seven of its last eight matches, but has struggled against top 25 teams this spring, going 1-5 in those matches with its lone victory coming March 21 against then No. 25 Oklahoma State in a non-conference match at the Blue Gray Tennis Classic.
Following this week's matches, Tech travels to Norman, Okla., for the Big 12 Championships, held April 23-26 at the Headington Family Tennis Center.

Ok, so the problem is:
I've got some 'order' entity, and it has 'status' property. On changing status, i wanted some other objects to be informed of this event, so i've decided to use Observer pattern. One of the observers notifies clients via email. Now i want to render Email text's from some of the twig templates. As i get from the Book, rendering templates in controllers are done with 'templating' service.
So the question as it follows: How can i access 'templating' service in my Observer class?
Specification: I was advised, to implement my Observer as a service, but i'm not sure 'bout that. I've tried to solve this problem, and here is my options:
Use Registry. Solution that is straight and hard as rail. I guess it misses the whole point of DI and Service Container. Huge plus of this solution, is that i can access all common services from any point of my application.
To pass needed services from the context via constructor, or via setters. This is more like in Sf2 spirit. There comes another list of problems, which are not related to this question field.
Use observers as a service. I'm not really sure 'bout this option 'cos, in the book it is written, that service is a common functionality, and i don't think that observing entity with number of discrete properties is a common task.
I'm looking for a Sf2 spirit solution, which will be spread over whole project, so all answers with an explanation are appreciated.
