St. Augustine's neighborhoods are as varied as its history and its architecture that reflects that history.
With its December meeting, the St. Augustine Neighborhood Council passed its six month mark and is certainly well on its way to being firmly established.
Comprised of delegates from each neighborhood association, the council meets to discuss issues which affect their individual neighborhood associations, exchange ideas on neighborhood activities, and discuss citywide issues of interest.
In a presentation to the City Commission April 14 of last year, a steering committee made up of local residents interested in forming a neighborhood council, stated their goals as "building a relationship in and among neighborhood associations that will enable residents to enhance their own quality of life with programs and resources. It is about encouraging residents to take charge of their own destiny rather than carping about how government doesn't do anything for them. It is about building a structure that encourages residents to take responsibility."
Those goals have certainly been met and in some instances surpassed.
At this time, there are six established neighborhood associations with another two in the formative stages. (Click here for a complete listing)
Membership in each association includes some of the original steering committee members along with a growing number of new members who have embraced the mission of taking an active part of their neighborhoods.
At the center of the associations is the Neighborhood Council and its offices located at City Hall.
Resource Library Available to All
Available to all city residents is an extensive library of reference material in the Neighborhood Council Office located on the first floor of City Hall, 75 King St. Documents include the design concepts for the Visitor's Information Center Intermodal Transportation Facility, the Entrance Corridor Guidelines, St. Augustine City Code and the City's Comprehensive Plan.
While all of these materials have always been available, the Neighborhood Council's easy to get to location makes it much more convenient for residents to access this information.
The research library is available Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
New Associations Forming Now
The Neighborhood Council Coordinator, Cathy DuPont, is available to meet with residents interested in forming a neighborhood association. Sample bylaws and organization structures are available through her office as well as contacts from existing associations who will provide helpful information.
Cathy may be reached by calling 904-825-1053 between 8:00am and 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, by mail at P. O. Box 210, St. Augustine, FL 32085-0210 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I won't soft soap it: defensive streamers the world over took a licking last week.
Not even the Vikings' defense, the one with the streaming matchup made in the shiniest part of fantasy football heaven, could save us. Three interceptions and a fumble recovery made Minnesota a viable option, but it was clear early on that I had failed to factor in one critically important part of playing against the Browns: They have nothing to lose.
It's that sort of let-it-fly mentality that should terrify defensive streamers to our very cores. That approach can certainly lead to all sorts of turnovers, but it'll often yield yardage, and lots of it. Cleveland chucked the ball 54 times against the Vikings' zombie-like secondary, which is now allowing 317 passing yards per contest.
I stand by my picks of the Vikings and Giants – and my Friday additions of the Saints and Jets – because, as always, I let the numbers guide me. Take a look at the trove of stats that compelled us to use those defensive units and remember that just as a killer poker hand will lose, so too will excellent fantasy football plays.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. New York Giants: The highest scoring defense in fantasy football is owned in one-third of leagues. Yes, one in three. As in: 33 percent.
The Chiefs shut down Chip Kelly's offense as much as it can be shut down last Thursday night, recording six sacks, five turnovers, and the fluky but all-important defensive touchdown. Kansas City is a legit elite defensive unit, and now they get one of the NFL's deadest offenses on their home field.
Let the Chiefs' defense wash over you, as they surely will over Eli Manning.
Kansas City, thanks in part to playing the minor league Jaguars in Week 1, has allowed 11.3 points per game while creating a veritable avalanche of turnovers. They now have five interceptions, four fumble recoveries, and two defensive scores. Their front seven has proved dominant, sacking the quarterback a league-leading 15 times.
|Kansas City Chiefs
|Overall defense
|Run defense
|Pass rush
|Pass coverage
Stats courtesy of Pro Football Focus
The Giants, after last week's apocalyptic meltdown in Carolina, are now ranked as the fifth worst passing team in football, according to PFF. Big Blue now sports the league's fourth worst overall offense, with the second worst pass protection.
This game features the NFL's most turnover-happy offense against its most turnover-happy defense.
There's no reason to think Manning will suddenly have time to operate in a hostile atmosphere, against the NFL's best defense. Defenses are gouging New York to the sweet, sweet tune of 19.3 fantasy points per game. Roll with Kansas City as a top-3 Week 4 play.
Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars: Blaine Gabbert, to our great delight, is back in the saddle for Jacksonville after Chad Henne looked – shockingly – like himself over the past couple weeks.
The Jaguars are reportedly abandoning everything they touted in the preseason: their up-tempo offense that was supposed to run 70-80 plays a game, and their zone blocking scheme championed by offensive coaches.
Jacksonville is predictably the worst passing attack in the NFL. What might surprise you is that the Jags also have the league's least effective running game, according to PFF. Their running attack – if you can call it such – is worse than Pittsburgh's, somehow.
The Colts' defense in Week 1 disappointed those who thought Indy was the locked-and-loaded No. 1 fantasy defense against the Raiders. They might've been against clipboard-holding savant Matt Flynn, but Terrelle Pryor shredded the Colts and made them a middling Week 1 play.
The Colts were fantasy's No. 7 defense against the 49ers in Week 3, making critical early-game adjustments to stop the San Francisco run game that had great success in the first quarter. Indy's defense isn't all that impressive through three games, though the good news for streamers is that that hardly matters.
All that matters is that the Colts are playing against a Jacksonville offense giving up 14.3 fantasy points per game to opposing defenses.
Read this and salivate: The Jaguars are now averaging 230 total yards of offense per game. That, at the very worst, gives Indy's defense a high fantasy floor going into Week 4.
Tennessee Titans vs. New York Jets: I think both of these teams could be fine streaming options as they square off against each other. The Titans sport a top-6 pass defense, so I wouldn't expect Geno Smith to shred that secondary like he did against Buffalo's bottom-5 coverage unit.
New York maintained the league's stringiest run defense, per PFF. They now allow 79.5 rush yards per game and largely shutting down the Bills' rushers Week 3. Gang Green allows the eighth fewest pass yards per contest. Jake Locker won't look like Warren Moon this week.
Baltimore Ravens at Buffalo Bills: Probably owners will flock to the wire to snag the Ravens' defense after their league-leading 23 fantasy points against the Texans in Week 3. Baltimore, owned in 84 percent of leagues, is the third highest scoring defense in fantasy, sporting the NFL's fourth best run defense (74.7 yards per game).
I'd like them better at home, of course, but even in Buffalo, Baltimore is an easy top-10 option. The Bills, it should be noted, has hardly been friendly to opposing defenses. They're allowing 4.5 fantasy points a game to fantasy defenses.
Thans for the Defensive Streamers! Q: I own Spiller, F Jax, R Bush, Miller. Trade F Jax for Wilson? Thanks.
What are your thoughts on the Broncos d?
How do you feel about Tampa at home vs. Cardinals?
I have a decent waiver claim position and can almost certainly grab Indy, but I really covet KC – unfortunately dropped them last week and Yahoo wont let me claim them because of their Thursday game which means they never cleared waivers (I hate this) and I cant pick them up until they do.
So here is the gamble – dont put in a claim on Indy, with the hope that one of the few other D streamers will have them as their top claim and KC makes it through. But if I claim Indy then it moves to their 2nd choice (possibly KC) and KC never gets through waivers. This all falls apart if they take KC though and I miss out on Indy – which is why I wonder about TB, who is unlikely to get added via waivers.
I generally lean heavily towards take the guarantee (Indy) vs. gamble (no waiver claim on a D and hope for the best)….but I would really love to settle in with KC for the next 6 weeks and worry about other things during bye weeks.
Is the gamble crazy? (i know I am crazy, just wondering about the gamble).
Worth mentioning that after Giants, KC has Tenn, Oak, Hou, Cle, and Buff going into a WK 10 bye…this is the last week you should be able to pick them up and certainly worthy of riding into their bye.
I too was happy with the Vikes from your week 3 article. They got me 20 points in my league.
So this week I am going to try to pick up KC or Indy or Balt ( who I already streamed with week one and two. Good job!
8 team ppr.2 qb league.Own Rodgers,currently have Bradford as my 2nd qb.I'm also streaming my 2nd qb based upon matchups.My wrs are Gordon,Thomas,Wallace,Givens,Andre Johnson.Rbs are Murray,Charles,Mjd,Miller,Bush,Bell,Wilson.Te is Thomas.Should I sell high on Murray knowing his injury history?Also,with Johnson being nicked up so early should I trade him for possibly Cruz?Or package Johnson with Mjd and try to get a better wr?Thanks
Hey – used the Vikings and they did well in my league, tied for 8th with 15 points, and was 5th of 12 teams that got started, so I was happy.
Keep the Vikings against Pitt in London or pick up the Colts?

Do you know people who don't read much or at all but for whom a good book could make a big difference? For World Book Night (April 23, 2014), you can volunteer to be a giver of books, whether to teens or adults.
Sherlock Holmes once remarked to Watson that "the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside."
Indeed, readers who enjoy suspense, strong characters, and immersing themselves in the deceptively quiet and sometimes lethal English countryside of Victoria's reign should enjoy Anne Perry's A Christmas Visitor. Though it does feature a character from her well-established William Monk series, it is not necessary at all to have read those books to appreciate this one.
Growing up with Books and Traveling the World
With a scientist/writer for a mother and a research physician for a father, it's little wonder that Molly Bang grew up to be a writer and illustrator who would eventually make it her mission to create books that drawn children into the world of science. Her family kept a large library and would often give each other books illustrated by the famous Charles Rackham as gifts. Molly found these to be inspiring.
After she graduated from Wellesley College with a degree in French, Molly traveled to Japan to teach English at a university there for 18 months before returning to work on master's degrees in Oriental studies. Then it was back overseas to illustrate health manuals for UNICEF, as well as Johns Hopkins and Harvard, working, among other places, in Calcutta and Bangladesh.
"Ye Toads and Vipers!"
Meggy Swann has reason to be angry. Her mother had finally succeeded in getting rid of her, having her dumped miles and miles from home at her father's tiny house in London. She's never met him before, and he clearly doesn't want her. It's not like she can run away somewhere else though. An accident at birth has left her legs crooked, and she is in constant pain.
Only able to walk with the help of two sticks, the world of 1573 can be an especially cruel place for such a one, but she has angrily adapted. Alchemy and Meggy Swann, by Karen Cushman, tells her story from the time she is dumped like a sack on her father's narrow doorstep, frightened and seemingly helpless, to the brave things she must do to protect herself and others she has come to love.
The Blessing Cup, by Patricia Polacco, is a wonderful story for anytime, but especially during the holidays when family gathers close for this is a family story. Patricia Polacco's great-grandmother Anna and her family came to America from Russia after the Czar ordered all the Jews to leave the country. Just like that, they had to leave behind everything they couldn't carry. Momma and Papa packed the sewing machine, their menorah, the shofar, his tallis, and holy books. But also precious to them was the tea set they were given when they were married.
Tessa Harris' The Anatomist's Apprentice plunges the reader into the viscera of 18th-century English culture and crime.
Scarecrows have been known at least as long ago as ancient Egypt. In some cultures, people were sent to the fields to keep away the pests. The Creek Indians did this in America. Before modern times, the English would also send out the very young and the very old to their fields with noise makers. All people rely on a good harvest to last them through the winter, and scarecrows, human or straw, help them to have one.
Breadcrumbs, by Anne Ursu, starts on a magical, snowy day. There's still school though so Hazel and her best friend Jack make plans to meet up and go sledding afterward. Since her Dad left her and her mom, things have really changed for Hazel in a bad way. She had to stop going to the fun school where the teachers were happy she had such vivid imagination and creativity. Now Hazel goes to classes where the desks are perfectly lined up all the time, and there is to be no fidgeting. Hazel fidgets anyway.
Author Jean Fritz has written many books that kids enjoy. They're often funny and full of adventure and always have great characters. They're also pretty much absolutely true. Jean specializes in history books, especially people's life stories. As a biographer, she tries to get to know the people and the times in which they lived through research including reading their own words. Then she takes all that history and turns it around in her mind until it becomes a story her readers will enjoy.
Start the New Year by joining the CRRL in giving a wonderful book—or two or twenty—to those who may not be familiar with the joys of reading. Sign up by January 5, 2014, to receive multiple copies of amazing books. The only catch: they cannot be resold. Neither are they to keep for yourself or your bibliophile friends. They are to be given away with joyful hearts, as an invitation to the world of reading. There's no charge to be a book giver, but you do need to apply.

Seattle to San Francisco on the techno-Savvy West Coast Green Highway
By Robin Cherry
Called "the Corridor of the Future" by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the West Coast Green Highway could just as easily be called heaven for your Chevrolet Spark EV, or any other electric or alternative-fuel vehicle. This collaboration between the states of Washington, Oregon and California, as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia, places fast-charge stations every 40 to 60 miles along the 1,350-mile Interstate 5 corridor that runs from Canada to Mexico. Since we can't think of a more fitting road trip for your game-changing Spark EV, here are some notable green stops along the scenic stretch between Seattle and San Francisco.
Seattle, WA
Start your road trip in Seattle after a restful night at the eco-friendly Alexis Hotel, which was awarded four Green Leaves by the Audubon Society. The contemporary boutique hotel is steps from the waterfront and Pike's Place Market, but even better, you get a 50% discount on parking for your Spark EVand you can give it a free charge at the hotel's own Ecotality Blink Electric Car Charging Station.
Portland, OR
Even though it's only three hours from Seattle, Portland is one of the country's most interesting food (and green) destinations, and warrants more than just a drive through. For lunch, check out Bamboo Sushi, the world's first certified sustainable sushi restaurant (and one of the country's best). In addition to using only fresh, ethically sourced fish, meats and produce, chef Kristofor Lofgren purchases 100% of his power from renewable energy sources; composts; recycles; and offers reusable chopsticks and biodegradable take-out containers.
You can continue on, but if you haven't been to Portland before, it seems a shame not to spend the night. Check into the Hotel Vintage Plaza (like the Alexis, a Kimpton Hotel, so the same parking discount and free charging station apply). Widely touted as the greenest city in America, Portland is filled with parks and gardens and surrounded with mountains lined with hiking trails.
Before you jump back into your Spark EV and continue south, charge your own batteries with a cup of joe from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, a Portland institution that's widely credited with revolutionizing the coffee business by working directly with coffee farmers and highlighting the flavor profile of each bean.
Wolf Creek, OR
You can stop for lunch at the Wolf Creek Inn, a former stagecoach stopover and Oregon's oldest continuously operated hotel. While the hotel and restaurant have been restored to preserve their historic character, you'll know it's the 21st Century as the inn has its very own EV charging station.
Redding, CA
Continue south to Redding, CA to see Santiago Calatrava's iconic Sundial Bridge, a cantilevered bicycle and pedestrian bridge that spans the Sacramento River and links the two sections of the Turtle Bay Exploration Park, a museum that explores the relationship between humans and our environment.
Anderson, CA
Continue 12 miles south to Anderson, CA and check into the Gaia Hotel and Spa, one of northern California's most environmentally conscious hotels. (Gaia is Greek for Mother Earth.) Tubular skylights diffuse light throughout the simple, chic guest rooms, reducing the need for electricity. Picture windows provide views of the hotel's gardens, fountains and swan lagoon. Treatments at the Gaia's Living Waters Spa incorporate indigenous flowers and herbs into their holistic therapies.
San Francisco, CA
Once rejuvenated, head to San Francisco and check into the tranquil, eco-conscious Orchard Garden Hotel, near Union Square. It was the first hotel in California awarded LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the U.S. Green Building Council when it opened in 2006, and it feels just as fresh and green today. Rooms are decorated in soothing ivory and beige with Forest Stewardship Council certified maple wood furniture and abundant natural light. Your key-card activates the thermostat, which is turned off when the guest room is empty, reducing energy consumption by 20%. When you're ready to hit the road again (whether you head south to San Diego or back up north), there's an EV charging station just around the corner on Kearny St.
The trademarks mentioned in this story are heald by their respective owners.

With a statewide readership of nearly 130,000 — through mail circulation, boxes, and partnerships with local newspapers in Greensboro, Asheville, and Hendersonville — Carolina Journal covers state government and the legislature while also offering special sections on education, books and culture, higher education, and local government.
Access current and past editions of Carolina Journal.
While known for its analysis and commentary, the newspaper is also a leader in investigative journalism. In 1997, CJ broke the story of a $21 million slush fund used by legislative insiders for pork barrel projects in violation of law. The following year, a CJ investigation of hiring and promotion practices in state government helped to prompt former Gov. Jim Hunt and lawmakers to enact reforms of the state personnel system.
More recently, reporters have exposed conflicts of interest and misuse of public funds in stories on the infamous taxpayer-subsidized Randy Parton Theater in Roanoke Rapids, a natural-gas boondoggle in Northeastern North Carolina, problems in the state ferry division, state grants to politically connected nonprofits, Mike Easley's real estate deals and use of friends' airplanes to fly for free, Mary Easley's huge raise at N.C. State, abuse of the state's school lunch program, and many other issues.
Partly as a consequence of CJ investigations, former State Sen. Frank Ballance resigned his office as a freshman member of Congress in 2004 and was later indicted for federal crimes. CJ also published important reporting on the scandals surrounding former House Speaker Jim Black, who also ended up in federal prison.

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. -- New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees wore full pads in practice for the first time since Aug. 1, but didn't participate in team sessions Tuesday at the Greenbrier.
Brees has a strained left oblique and has done extensive throwing during practices over the last week, but always off to the side.
"He's progressing well. So all those things are good signs," head coach Sean Payton said. "Each day he does a little bit more in the training room and then out here (on the practice fields). We just keep working on the rehab and making sure, functionally, that we're not stressing (the injury) so that it sets him back."
Payton said Brees has a competitive "nature" but understands the team's caution.
"He's smart and he understands that the type of strain he has is something that can reoccur if you're not careful and you don't let it heal properly," Payton said.
Veteran cornerback Champ Bailey also donned pads for the first time since suffering an undisclosed injury on July 31.
"He's progressing well," Payton said. "He's feeling better. That's encouraging."
Golfer Nick Faldo, who has a home at the Greenbrier, visited with Payton at practice and spoke briefly to the team afterwards.

First Team
Adidas presents the new A.C. Milan red and black jersey for the 2012/2013 season which was worn for the first time this evening against Atalanta.
MILAN – An avante garde communications campaign recalling the birth of the Rossoneri on 16 December 1899. Adidas and the most decorated club in the world have launched the team jersey for the 2012/13 season. Two brands representing excellence in sport have found a way to communicate with team fans the world over as well as underlining the Italian roots of the club. Emirates, for the third season in a row will be written on the shirt.
The wide stripes are back, 5 in all, 3 black and 2 red with a white collar at the top and AC Milan written on the back. The main detail is an Italian flag's reference, in vertical, between the black and red stripes, and on the front side this detail is recognizable by a green oblique insert, and another one red, interposed with a white neck.
There'll only be one type of shirt for the players next season with the
TECHFIT™ and FORMOTION™ technologies. The TPU sides of the shirt won't be there anymore but the top will have the advantages of elastic fabrics incorporated into the top with enhanced visibility thanks to ForMotion™ technology.
Communications Campaign
Realized thanks to TBWA/Italy for Adidas and made up of a press campaign as well as digital marketing using various platforms and the club's official accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, with three viral videos.
On the press campaign we can the players in front of three of Milan's principal land marks (Castello Sforzesco, Colonne di San Lorenzo and San Siro stadium). The campaign reminds the viewer of the club's roots 113 years ago, which inspied Herbert Kilpin and the other founders of Milan cricket and Football Club. It was on a Milanese night, near the city's Duomo cathedral that Kilpin said: "Our colors will be red, as we'll be devils and black, like the fear that we'll strike in our adversaries' hearts."
The videos were shot on Milan's gothic streets, in and around the cities most important historical monuments and symbols between sunset and dawn and reveals little by little the details of the new top. Rososneri fans now have the chance to discover on Facebook, 'like' by 'like', all three episodes to unveil the new AC Milan jersey for next season.

The Influence of Lake and Stream Biogeochemistry on Ecosystem Properties
Nutrient biogeochemistry affects a myriad of ecosystem processes from primary producer biomass and community composition, to habitat quality, to upper trophic level production. Excessive nutrient loading can cause nuisance algal blooms and hypoxia, and recent studies conclude allochthonous carbon inputs may be important food web subsidies.
Phosphorus – We used a classic mass balance approach to assess the influence of phosphorus input concentrations and lake hydraulic characteristics on lake TP concentrations. This reassessment of the original Vollenweider type case studies showed the input TP concentration to lakes was by far the best predictor of lake phosphorus concentrations (r2 = 0.71), and that the predict lake TP concentration could further improved by also considering the lake's hydraulic retention time (Brett and Benjamin 2008). However, despite an apparently good overall fit between predicted and observed TP concentrations (r2 = 0.82), the actually prediction error for individual lakes was ± a factor 4 in log-space. Further, this mass balance approach was only able to predict 35% of the variation in lake phosphorus retention. These results indicate our current understanding of lake phosphorus dynamics is rudimentary at best. The form in which phosphorus is supplied to lakes (i.e. inorganic or organic, dissolved or particulate) probably has a particularly important impact on phosphorus retention (Brett and Benjamin 2008). Phosphorus supplied predominantly as a constituent of animal or human wastes may be readily incorporated into the biotic cycle of lakes. Conversely, phosphorus supplied predominantly in particulate form as P sorbed onto or incorporated into inorganic particles is much less bioavailable to phytoplankton. Particulate, mineral-bound phosphorus can also settle out of the water column rapidly and be lost to the sediments.
Nitrogen – A field study of a watershed discharging to an estuary with recurrent hypoxic and fish-kill events showed both vegetation type and population density were clearly associated with stream nitrogen concentrations. Streams draining catchments with a high prevalence of N-fixing red alders (Alnus rubra) and/or high human population density (and associated onsite septic system discharges) had about 10 times higher nitrogen concentrations than did systems draining the most pristine regions of the watershed (i.e., the Olympic mountains) (Steinberg et al. 2011). Further, there was a very strong seasonality to watershed nitrogen export, with over 60% of the N export from this watershed occurring during the 3 month period of November–January and only 15% occurring during the 5 month period from June to October. Catchments with a high prevalence of alders and high population density had their export dominated by nitrate, whereas catchments with mainly conifer vegetation and low population density exported a high proportion dissolved organic N. However, entrainment of marine water into the surface layer of Hood Canal accounted for ≈ 98% of N loading to the euphotic zone of this estuary. Mass balance calculations indicate red alders and domestic wastewater discharges were a very important N source for many streams, but a minor nutrient source for the estuary as a whole (Steinberg et al. 2011).Carbon – Several studies have concluded that terrestrial carbon inputs support ≈ 50% of zooplankton and fish production in many small-forested lakes, even in cases where these inputs are relatively small compared to phytoplankton production. We conducted a series of experiments to test the food quality of terrestrial resources for zooplankton compared common lake phytoplankton. These experiments showed Daphnia fed diets comprised entirely of terrestrially derived matter had lower growth efficiencies (5 vs. 41%), reproduced later (19.4 vs. 13.5 d), had fewer neonates (3.1 vs. 69.5) and were smaller (0.22 vs. 1.06 mg dry wt. ind.-1) than did Daphnia that consumed phytoplankton (Brett et al. 2009).
Analyses of Daphnia lipid composition showed they preferentially accumulated algal fatty acids by a factor 10.
Very recent studies on this topic have acknowledged the much lower food quality of terrestrial resources, but these studies claimed that the flux of resources from terrestrial sources was so much larger than phytoplankton production that the higher quantity of terrestrially derived resources more than compensated for their lower quality. We compiled all of the data from studies that have directly determined terrestrial inputs and algal production in oligo/mesotrophic lakes. Despite the widespread assumption that terrestrial inputs dominate the carbon flux of many lakes, our analysis indicated algal production is a factor 4-7 greater than the available flux of allochthonous basal resources in low productivity lakes (Brett et al. 2012). Lakes with high t-DOC loading (i.e., 1000 mg m-2 d-1), a median of 98% of the t-DOC flux is advected and therefore is not available to support zooplankton production. When considering both the low quantity and quality of allochthonous resources, our calculations indicate aquatic herbivores are likely to obtain only 2-4% of their resources from terrestrial inputs (Brett et al. 2012). These results indicate terrestrial inputs are likely to make very small direct contributions to animal production in most oligo/mesotrophic lakes.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – With its win over UCLA Saturday, Washington State University men's basketball (10-20, 3-15 in Pac-12) clinched the No. 11 seed in the 2014 Pac-12 Men's Basketball Tournament and will take on sixth-seeded Stanford (19-11, 10-8) in the opening round, Wednesday, March 12 at 8:36 p.m. at MGM Grand Garden Arena at Las Vegas, Nev. The game will be televised on the Pac-12 Networks.
Stanford swept the season series this year with an 80-48 victory at Stanford, Jan. 15 and a 69-56 win over WSU, Feb. 15 at Beasley Coliseum. The Cougars are 59-72 all-time against the Cardinal and have lost the last three meetings between the two teams.
WSU and Stanford have met three times in the conference tournament with the Cardinal holding the 3-0 advantage. The two teams last met in the semifinals of the 2008 tournament as Stanford came away with a 75-68 victory as both teams advanced to the 'Sweet 16' of the NCAA Tournament that season.
WSU is 5-13 all-time in the conference tournament as has lost its last four conference tournament games as its last tournament win came as the No. 7 seed in the 2009 tournament. The Cougars are 0-1 as the No. 11 seed after falling to the No. 6 Huskies in last year's tournament.
The winner of Wednesday's game will take on No. 3 seed Arizona State, Thursday, March 13 at 8:40 p.m. That game will air on Fox Sports 1.

Marines Reject DADT Critic Dan Choi
But it wasn't because he's gay.
Now that a federal court has struck down "don't ask, don't tell" for the time being military recruiters have been told by the Pentagon that they can go ahead and enlist openly gay people. Former lieutenant Dan Choi, one of the most prominent and recognizable critics of DADT, tweeted earlier today that he would head to Times Square to sign up for the Marines. Unfortunately, he was denied ... not because he's gay, though, but because he's too old. Someday, old people. Someday.

The Alexander Foundation, one of Denver's oldest and most respected community organizations, is pleased to announce our annual Spring Fling fundraising event will be held on Friday, June 13, 2014 at 685 Emerson Street in Denver. This annual event is held to raise funds to further the mission of the foundation which is to provide financial assistance to the LGBT community of Colorado. Year after year this annual event has been considered one of the most anticipated of the year and the kick off to the summer party season.
From 6:00p.m. until 9:00p.m. guests will enjoy hors d'oeuvres provided by one of Denver's premier caterers, Gourmet Fine Catering, as well as cocktails, and a margarita bar courtesy of Coyote Gold Margaritas. We will also hold a "progressive auction" which will offer participants the opportunity to bid on not just one item, but a collection of items. Plus, we will be making a very special announcement about the future of the foundation that will have a profound impact on our future efforts.
The residence at 685 Emerson Street has been home to a number of historic luminaries of Denver. Harry C. James built the home for his wife, May, in 1900. Mr. James, along with his father and sister, were responsible in part for the creation of the Denver Natural History Museum, now known as the Museum of Nature and Science. Later, the home was the residence of Dr. & Mrs. J.H. Tilden. Dr. Tilden was one of the most renowned physicians in the country in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In 1967, the home was purchased by John W.R. Crawford and his wife Dana. Much of the resurgence of Denver's "Lodo" area is owed to the efforts of Mrs. Crawford after spearheading the revitalization of historic Larimer Square. The home has been in the Crawford family for more than forty years, with the current owner being John W.R. Crawford IV, Mrs. Crawford's son. At present this stately home is on the market and available for purchase.
Ticket prices for this event are $85 per person, $45 for students, young professionals under 30 and military personnel with proper identification. To purchase tickets follow this link.
Some of the presenting sponsors who are helping to make this event possible include Douglas D. Kerbs of Fuller Sotheby's Real Estate, Darby Donohue of Gourmet Fine Catering, Dean McCready of DeanAllan Designs, Pam Lush of Coyote Gold Margaritas, and Out Front. There are still sponsorship opportunities available, and individuals and businesses interested in offering their support are encouraged to contact Logan Taylor, event co-chairman, at (970) 379-0873, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Advertising opportunities are also available for our event program. Inquiries should be directed to Jeffery Hoyle, event chairman, at (303) 946-8619, or via email at email@example.com. For additional information about the event, email the foundation directly, or for more information on The Alexander Foundation visit their website.
The Alexander Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization, and donations are tax-deductible.

Bless Michael Buble's heart. He and wife Luisana Lopilato welcomed a baby boy today, Noah Buble.
"Overjoyed and filled with gratitude at the arrival of our son Noah Bublè," the Canadian singer wrote on his Instagram account. "Born this morning, August 27th at 2:26 am in Vancouver, Canada."
The couple, married since 2011, have been eagerly awaiting their son's arrival. Buble canceled a Today show appearance on August 9th, citing the waiting game as his reason.
"We're close," Buble told the Associated Press after. "She [Lopilato] had a false alarm a couple days ago, and she had about seven hours of labor. So we know that it could happen at any time."
This is the couple's first child.

ciliary muscle
The contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic nerve fiber stimulation (see sympathetic nervous system) causes relaxation of the muscle, whereas parasympathetic stimulation (see parasympathetic nervous system) causes muscle contraction. The ciliary muscle is part of the ciliary body.

This Too Shall Pass
The College Secret
Senior year can run smoothly if you stick to a plan. Here are suggested activities to complete as your senior year progresses:
If you are participating in a parallel enrollment program at a local college, verify that you are scheduled for your intended class(es) and that your tuition is fully paid.
When you get your schedule, verify that you are enrolled in the credits that are remaining for you to earn a high school diploma. You will not have the option of changing your mind about a level of a class or an elective, but if a required class is somehow missing, notify your school counselor immediately. Evening or Saturday School may be necessary.
Ensure that your college list is set to 4-8 schools, and start the applications. You can establish your www.commonapp.org account and start working on the essays and other supplements. Also, make sure that you can log on to your College Board and ACT accounts, to authorize them to send your scores to your colleges by the application deadlines.
If that is part of your plan, register for the September ACT. The registration deadline is usually at the end of the second week of August.
Read through the college planning guide that was distributed in English 12 classes.
If you haven't already, return the signed transcript release form to the school counseling office.
Continue working your college applications, including the essays. Schedule college visits for weekends and school days that are planned to be closed for students.
Polish your resume and make sure that you have two teachers willing to write recommendation letters for your application. For schools that you are applying to on Common App, provide the teachers' email addresses so that they can log on and upload their recommendation letters.
Request transcripts through the Naviance Family Connection, provide a parent's signature to authorize school to send your records, and pay the required processing fees. When you bring in these forms to the school counseling office, you should also indicate whether or not you need your school counselor to write a letter of recommendation. Common App requires it. If you do, please complete the Brag Sheet in Naviance. so that we can incorporate your perspective into the letter.
College Application red flags:
- Lower-than-usual grades that aren't addressed in your statements.
- NOT waiving your FERPA rights.
The registration deadline for the October SAT is usually the second week of September, and the registration deadline for the October ACT is usually the last week of September.
As early as possible, submit your FAFSA. The earlier you complete and submit this, the more likely you will be to receive federal and state grants.This is the time to get your applications done, particularly if you have November and December deadlines. If you have not yet done so, request your transcript and recommendation letter with 3-4 weeks to spare before these deadlines.
Ensure that you have requested your SAT/ACT scores to be sent directly to your colleges. The deadline to register for the November SAT is usually the end of the first week of October.
Submit your college applications by the set deadlines, and ensure that you have paid the application fees, requested that College Board send your SAT scores and ACT send their scores, and requested your transcripts and teacher/counselor letters of recommendation, all by those deadlines.
Check your application status with the colleges about two weeks after you are sure everything was submitted, to verify their receipt. Admissions offices process hundreds to thousands of applications, each comprising of many documents. It sometimes takes several weeks to process all of these documents before a student's application is complete, and can then be evaluated.
In December, your family should request your FAFSA PIN to ensure smooth submission of your FAFSA. Because we don't get W-2's until the end of January, it is advised that you prepare to estimate your income based off of last year's 1040's and this year's year-end pay stubs.
Review the admissions requirements for the colleges to which you are applying and note which schools require midyear transcripts. Follow our procedures for requesting midyear transcripts, which will not be available until you get your 2nd quarter report cards - regardless of when colleges say they want your midyear transcript.
If you have not yet done so, start applying for scholarships.
Ensure that you request your midyear transcript before our stated deadline (usually the Friday before 2nd quarter report cards are released).
Register for AP exams.
Apply for local scholarships by the stated deadline.
Now that local scholarships were due, you are advised to spend your time this month visiting your colleges one last time to make your decision, working on other scholarships, and studying for your AP exams.
If you end up not getting admitted to any of your colleges, see your school counselor for a list of colleges that have late deadlines, or consider CCBC as a viable method for starting college at a very reasonable cost.
Take your AP exams, send your deposit to your colleges, and arrange for freshman placement testing.
Ensure that before you are done with AP testing, you indicate on your answer sheet what college you are going to in order to ensure that the college receives your scores in a timely fashion.
Contact your college's academic advisor to discuss first-semester courses. AP scores are available in July.
How to request your high school transcript:
- Return the transcript release form (available in the counseling office), signed by parent.
- Log onto your Naviance Family Connection account and add the transcript requests through "Colleges I'm applying to."
- Pay $2 per transcript (we will take care of the envelope and postage) - the first three are FREE.
- If you need a letter of recommendation, be sure to complete the school counselor recommendation letter survey in the "about me" tab.
- Within ten days of the above four steps being complete, transcripts (and letter, if applicable) will be sent in the most efficent manner possible.
To request a letter of recommendation from your school counselor, complete the Brag Sheet in Naviance Family Connection.
Read the College Admissions Process packet. The letter from your counselor should really not be a reiteration of your activities and transcript, but it often helps us to understand what else you do outside of school.
Please don't request changes to your schedule senior year

Using coreutils
sort, how can I sort numerically by a hexadecimal value (field)? I was expecting something along the lines of
sort -k3,3x file_to_sort
however, such an
x does not exist.
Edit: Best solution I came up with so far is:
{ echo ibase=16; cut -d' ' -f3 file_to_sort; } |
bc | paste -d: - file_to_sort | sort -t: -k1,1n | cut -d: -f2-
where the
cut -d' ' -f3 isolates the search field (this is
-k3,3 — this may vary, of course), and
bc does conversion to decimal (requires upper-case hex, without
0x prefix, matching my case). Then I join, sort, and split columns.

Multi-racial and queer internet sensation Pentatonix will stop by the DAR Constitution Hall on March 29th. The acapella quintet won the third season of NBC's The Sing-Off and after signing with Sony have released two studio albums and a holiday album. All of their releases have peaked inside the top 20 in the US.
The Sounds, Blondfire and Ghost Beach live at 9:30 Club
The Sounds released their fifth album, Weekend, this past autumn. The album is surely expanding their cult success, and is their official third independent release, following 2009's Crossing The Rubicon and 2011's Something To Die For. Their new tour, alongside Blondfire, Strange Talk and Ghost Beach, will stop by 9:30 Club on April 12th.
Neon Trees live at Norva, The National and 9:30 Club
Neon Trees will release their new album Pop Psychology on April 22nd. Their current tour starts its North American leg on May 10th in Montana and will eventually stop by Norva in Norfolk (May 19th), The National in Richmond (May 20th), and Washington DC at the 9:30 Club on July 13th. The band's frontman, Tyler Glenn, recently told Rolling Stone magazine "I've always felt like I'm an open book, and yet obviously I haven't been completely. I had my crushes on guys throughout high school, but it was never an overwhelming thing until my twenties." When it comes to his Mormon background he added "We were always taught, and I hate this word, 'tolerance'. The only time I felt different was when the Pop 8 thing came up."
Queer outings: Ricky Martin, Mika, Austra, Sean Hayes, Vanessa Carlton
Tegan & Sara live at 9:30 Club
Tegan and Sara blew up last year. Their single "Closer" became a cult classic for this generation. The sisters, who have been releasing music since 1999, are taking their Let's Make it Physical Tour to the 9:30 Club on May 21st and May 22nd.
OneRepublic and The Script live at Jiffy Lube Live
OneRepublic is still enjoying the success of their international hit "Counting Stars". The single, released early in 2013, took a long time to make it into the top ten (and remain, as it is now) in the US, but it hit number-one in the UK and seven other territories. Their Native Tour will stop by Bristow, at Jiffy Lube Live on June 27th, and Virginia Beach on August 12th. The shows will be opened by The Script.

Gitler explains that the Intifada, coupled with September 11, caused tourism to decline. This decline, combined with other factors, such as reduced investment in high-tech projects in Israel – once a driving force of its economy – resulted in many families and individuals struggling to make ends meet. Television, radio and news reports began describing a new underclass of the unemployed and working poor in Israel. It was no longer the traditional ethnic groups and immigrants that had trouble paying for basic necessities like food – it was a problem across the board. After an official report was released on Israel's poverty level in 2003, Gitler found that he couldn't remain on the sidelines and decided to make a few calls to local caterers to see if the leftover food from events could be somehow donated to these people who were going hungry.
This past year, Gitler received a Presidential Citation for Volunteerism from Israeli President Shimon Peres, which he called a great honor. "For an organization to receive that sort of recognition after only eight years in existence is unprecedented, and it's a wonderful boon to all our volunteers, donors and partners to see that the State of Israel is distinguishing us in this way," says Gitler.
"I also love that it's a Jewish state, and you can see a sign wishing you a chag sameach on the highway," says Gitler, "or have the cashier at the supermarket wish you a Shabbat Shalom – even if she herself is not Jewish."
Something less ideal about Israel, comments Gitler, is the driving. He says, "You can ask 100 olim what the most frustrating thing about Israel is and they would all say it's the abhorrent way people drive here."

Demonstrators, dressed as detainees, marched past the Capitol building, US Supreme Court and near the White House on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, Jan. 11, 2013, during a rally against the U.S. military detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The protest marks the 11th anniversary of the first detainees being jailed at Guantanamo Bay. Campaigners also gathered outside the U.S. Embassy in London.

In states where governments have not eagerly embraced the Affordable Care Act, getting people to sign up for health insurance has been hampered, according to a new study released on Tuesday.
The study was conducted by researchers at George Washington University, who say that rules and regulations have interfered with outreach and enrollment efforts; thus, preventing community health centers from the crucial role they play in delivering health insurance to those who don't have any.
"This is the first study to attempt to measure the impact of restrictive state policies," said Sara Rosenbaum, the lead researcher at George Washington's Department of Health Policy.
"The navigator laws are having a real effect," she added.
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, wants to provide health insurance to the 15 percent of Americans without any, and they've made that possible by offering health insurance to them through one of three ways:
1) Through the online exchanges at HealthCare.gov;
2) Through an expansion of Medicaid; or
2) Through a change in insurance laws that prevents insurance companies from turning down or otherwise ceasing coverage for certain people when it becomes too pricey.
In order to get people to sign up for Obamacare, the White House administration hired a team of people they referred to as "navigators" to assist those trying to determine what kind of health plan worked best for them. Community health centers also tried to help by providing similar assistance of their own, as many of their clients are especially in need of health insurance.
However, after the Supreme Court offered states the option of expanding Medicaid, around 20 of them decided against it, despite the fact that the federal government agreed to cover the cost of expansion until 2017.
Meanwhile, other states have passed legislation that limits what the so-called navigators can ask and say to those they're trying to help sign up for Obamacare.
States like Missouri, Montana, Texas and Florida have all refused to expand Medicaid or offer online marketplaces with exchanges. As a result, the federal government has stepped in to force the matter.
Those who support the laws claim they're necessary to make certain that people who work with private information can be trained properly, but the administration calls it "bullying."
"This is a blatant attempt to add cumbersome requirements to the navigator program and deter groups from working to inform Americans about their new health insurance options and help them enroll in coverage," U.S. Health and Human Services department spokesman Fabien Levy said in September after Texas passed its law.

Whenever I open a new tab, I get this awful new tab page from AVG SiteSafety. Not sure how it got there, but I can't get rid of it. I deleted it from my extensions by going:
Settings -> Extensions -> Remove AVG SiteSafety.
That didn't work. I then tried to select the 'restore default new tab' on the AVG new tab eyesore, and that didn't work.
I then decided to try to go to chrome://plugins, and it was still there. I had the option to disable it, so I did, but then whenever I start chrome or open a new page, the page refreshes a thousand times a second and has rendered chrome useless. Is there a way I can find any trace of this AVG malware and completely purge it from my system?

I suspect somewhere along the educational way, we decided that 'active learning' (1) and 'passive learning' were air-tight philosophical constructs that helped us describe what occurs at that seminal moment when an inexperienced student learns. This is evidenced quite clearly, I believe, in our educational vernacular and fashionable syntax (2). And, I'd like to add for the record, they may be absolutely spot-on as descriptors of learning.
But, how do we know? In recent years there have been compelling studies demonstrating the effectiveness of active learning across a multitude of disciplines (3). In most (perhaps all) sectors of education, there are countless initiatives underway to promote active learning. These are, arguably, well-spent dollars that will help today's and tomorrow's student in many ways. What I'm interested in, though, are the underpinnings of such developments. This is not to question the veracity of such methods, but rather to question why they are so prevalent, perhaps with the ambitious goal of stating how to push the research a bit further. Even the most sophisticated definitions of active and passive learning take on nuances that can be difficult to tease apart. Is it possible that active and passive learning simply are the very best way we have right now to convey something that is actually quite more complex?
As a thought experiment, I wonder if it's possible that the rise of our technologies contributed significantly to the awareness of active and passive learning models? I find it a bit ironic that the popularization of active learning began at about the same time (4) as the onslaught and proliferation of personal computing devices. Did technology awaken us from the 800-year old practice of professors standing in the front of the classroom lecturing while students sat, taking notes? Technology has always been the harbinger of change in human living. Whether primitive farming tools, mass transportation advances, or microprocessors that many of us now carry in our pockets, technology has been at the root as a change agent. The question, then, becomes whether our educational methods and delivery are also advancing at the same pace.
Preliminarily, I propose that learning is certainly aided by technology, but I have to wonder if this is just the start to unraveling what we think we mean by student learning. Perhaps the complexities of emotional, physiological, and attitudinal processes that intertwine in learning may be further investigated by and for technological advancement.
(1) Most sources agree that defining 'active learning' is difficult at best. The University of Minnesota defines it "…as an approach to instruction in which students engage the material they study through reading, writing, talking, listening, and reflecting. Active learning stands in contrast to 'standard' modes of instruction in which teachers do most of the talking and students are passive." The Center for Research on Learning and Teaching at the University of Michigan defines "[a]ctive learning…[as] a process whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content."
(2) For an interesting, albeit unscientific, measurement, when I entered "active learning" as a search topic in Google Scholar on 1/16/14, I found 244,000 books and articles.
(3) See, for example, Michael, J. (2006). Where's the evidence that active learning works? Advances in physiology education, 30(4), 159-167.
(4) Bonwell and Eison's 1991, Active learning: Creating excitement in the classroom is often credited as the text that popularized active learning. This is debatable, of course, especially when considering the influence of previous work in Bloom's Taxonomy and Chickering and Gamson's 1987, "Seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education."

Angels Among Us, a non-profit small animal shelter in northern Georgia posted a photograph of Emberly, an eight-month-old Shih Tzu surrendered by her owner who can no longer care for the adorable little pooch.
Playful, sweet, and cuddly, the owner will be forced to turn the puppy into a local county animal shelter where euthanasia rates are skyrocketing because of overcrowding.
In addition, little puppies are very susceptible to bacterial infections found at shelters.
"Please help us make Emberly an Angels dog!! We can spare her from the dangers and emotional trauma of animal control but we need to raise at least $150 in donations www.angelsrescue.org/donate to cover her basic vetting expenses, spay and microchip. (tiff – Atlanta, GA)"
Emberly is also in need of a foster home in the Georgia area.

Playing against a team of top Indiana juniors, Harris put on a ball-handling display during an exhibition game in Seymour, Ind. that was fitting for Indiana's Mr. Basketball and described on Twitter by the Bloomington Herald-Times' Dustin Dopirak:
"Yeah, Gary Harris did something a little ridiculous right there. Got a steal dribbled behind his back like three times. Scored. Drew foul."
The play from the Fishers, Ind. native looked even more impressive on tape, as captured by CMM Productions.
Harris is expected to enroll at Michigan State later this month and is expected to contribute immediately as one of the top recruits in the nation.
"I've just got to get adjusted and get ready for the college level," Harris told the News-Sentinel.

by Bob Carolla, NAMI director of media relations
I sometimes get asked what I do for a living: what does "media relations" mean? Basically, it means trying to help reporters-print, television, radio or the Internet-and pitching NAMI news or messages.
It can be as simple as answering a question in less than 60 seconds over the phone. Or it may involve suggesting a topic and then working for several months with a reporter: helping to dig out information, arrange interviews and suggest angles. At the same time, as a matter of professional ethics, there's still an arms-length relationship. No promises are made that a story will be one that emphasizes NAMI's point of view or even that NAMI will be mentioned. Satisfaction comes mostly through helping to inform and shape a story and through it contribute to public education about mental illness and the issues that affect us.
There's also the satisfaction of seeing reporters or writers with whom NAMI has worked and respects grow in their careers-and win honors in their own right. That's the case this year with the recent announcement of Pulitzer Prizes, among the highest awards for excellence in journalism and arts.
One of this year's honorees is Clifford Levy of the New York Times for International Reporting on Russia's justice system. What's the connection to NAMI and mental illness? In 2003, Levy also won the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting in a series on the abuse of people living with mental illness in "adult homes." In fact, NAMI helped spark the investigation.
NAMI had previously honored Levy in 2001 with an award for his accurate, balanced and compassionate reporting. That same year, NAMI honored Alex Raksin of the Los Angeles Times with an award for editorial writing. In 2002, Raksin, like Levy a year later, won the Pulitzer Prize.
Although Levy won the prize in International Reporting this year, one of the finalists in the category was Deborah Sontag of the New York Times whose reporting on the 2010 earthquake in Haiti was praised for "steadfastly telling poignant, wide-ranging stories with a lyrical touch and an impressive eye for detail." Since the publication of NAMI's special report on state mental health budget cuts in March, we have been working with her on a story about one state in particular state. There are no promises, but keep an eye out for it in weeks ahead.
Finally, the winner of this year's Pulitzer Prize in Fiction is Jennifer Egan for the novel, A Visit from the Goon Squad, "an inventive investigation of growing up and growing old in the digital age, displaying a big-hearted curiosity about cultural change at warp speed."
HBO also has announced that it has purchased the rights to turn the book into a TV series.
What's Egan's NAMI connection?
In 2008, she published a non-fiction cover story in The New York Times Magazine, "The Bipolar Puzzle," which NAMI honored at its 2009 national convention. She received a standing ovation.
Professional ethics allow for professional respect. NAMI can maintain its arms-length relationship with reporters while still acknowledging their skill and hard work in trying to get their stories right.
NAMI congratulates these and the other 2011 Pulitzer Prize winning journalists.
