2014 CityArtist recipients announced
This week, 33 artists around Seattle that work in literary, media/film and visual arts received over $160,000 collectively in awards through the CityArtist Projects annual funding program.
The awards support new works, works-in-progress, or works taken to the next stage, and is anticipated to stage project presentations within a year. A peer-review panel evaluated proposals based on criteria such as artistic merit or potential, public access or impact and feasibility.
Out of the 142 applications received, fifty-five percent of the awards will go to first-time recipients. Fifty-eight percent of the applications were from women and an equal percentage of women received funding.
A broad range of projects and artists were selected, including:
$7,040 to Margot Quan Knight to generate and exhibit a new body of photography-based work on the theme of photography's struggle to document the unseen;
$3,960 to Eroyn Franklin to complete the first three chapters of of a graphic novel-memoir exploring a year spent living in European squats;
$5,720 to Jen Marlowe to complete and screen a feature-length documentary film providing an in-depth look at the pro-democracy uprising in the Gulf Kingdom of Bahrain;
$5,200 to Sean Gallagher to curate and document an intergenerational, multi-disciplinary and traditional event for Native American-Alaskan cultures;
$7,040 to Kay Ray to complete and screen a documentary film based on interviews of American women instrumentalists in jazz from 1920's to the 1970's;
$3,200 to Yuri Kinoshita to create an illuminated, floating teahouse for open-air, traditional Japanese tea ceremonies in public places;
and $3,900 to David Williams to finish a manuscript for a book exploring how and why Seattle shaped its physical landscape.

The grounding practice in the utility industry forces all living organisms to be continuously in physical contact with the electrical distribution system. The extensive grounding of the neutral in the distribution system also forces electrical currents to be present to a greater or lesser degree in all materials making up the environment of living organisms. Of course the living organisms, since they are themselves conductors of electricity and in contact with materials carrying electric currents, are basically plugged into the electrical circuitry of the distribution system.
The use of water pipes and other conductors in the earth to carry the neutral current of distribution systems has the effect of decreasing the current in the neutral wire. In addition, when unshielded distribution wires are buried in the earth, the neutral slowly corrodes, also increasing the amount of the neutral current in the earth. If the neutral and the high voltage wires carry the same current, the magnetic fields in the vicinity of the lines are relatively small, because the magnetic fields of the two lines nearly cancel each other. When the current in one wire is much less than in the other, the magnetic field is only partially canceled. This condition greatly increases the magnetic field in the area of distribution lines and enhances the range of these fields. In homes and businesses there is also an increase in the 60 Hz magnetic fields from the ground currents in water pipes and other conducting material. This condition is very effectively presented in a paper prepared for Austin, Texas {Preston, 1989)
Alternating current in the ground sets up alternating electric and magnetic fields. These electric fields give rise to electrical potentials that can induce currents in living organisms in contact with the ground. Alternating magnetic fields, by their very nature, also produce currents in conducting materials. Electric currents in living organisms, regardless of the mechanism that may produce them, are indistinguishable from one another. The currents simply access the body differently. In addition to the possibility of inducing an electric current in the body of living organisms, the electric and magnetic fields may independently or synergistically interact with parts of the body. Complicating the understanding of the interaction of these ground currents with living organisms is the effect of earth materials on the 60 Hz current entering the earth. The non-linear characteristics of the earth distort the 60 Hz sine wave, even affecting the natural processes that produce direct current in the earth. Thus ground currents from the power system are transformed into some combination of 60 Hz, harmonics, and direct currents.
An assumption has been made, in the design of the electrical distribution system, that the grounding of the system creates a constant electrical potential on the earth's surface. This is called an equipotential plane in the dairy industry. Using that assumption, all living organisms are living on an equipotential plane, connected to the neutral of the electric distribution system. To justify this ground connection, it is also assumed that an equipotential plane is an electrically safe place to be. The stray voltage problems in the dairy industry, however, have shown that when the neutral of the distribution system is connected to the earth, the earth is neither a plane of constant electrical potential nor an electrically safe place. Livestock producers are especially aware that lightning or a fault in a distribution line can kill animals if they happen to be in the path of the electric current in the ground. Dairy operators are frequently required by state codes to construct equipotential planes in their barns as a means of avoiding electric shocks for the cows. Unfortunately the equipotential plane is a good conductor which attracts a greater percentage of the ground currents, causes the cows to be exposed to greater continuous currents, and frequently increases stray voltage effects (Dahlberg and Falk 1995).
Surveys and farm evaluations and investigations have provided a significant body of information concerning the effects of ground currents (Hartsell, Dahlberg, Lusty, and Scott 1994; Dahlberg and Falk 1995; Marks, Ratke and English 1995; Kelly 1998). As mentioned previously, the main documentation of electrical effects in dairy barns historically involves ground faults. When electric current enters the earth from a high voltage wire, the event is called a ground fault. The high voltage wire can be from either the primary or the secondary system. Usually discussions of ground faults center on problems in the secondary system. Well-known effects from ground faults include behavioral, health, and production problems for confined livestock, such as dairy animals, and both human and animal electrocution (Dahlberg and Falk 1995).
On dairy farms, current in the ground is associated with behavioral, health and production effects in cows. It is very important to carry this association to the next step, which is the determination of how these currents interact with the cow to produce the physical effects. The presence of ground currents implies long-term, continuous exposure to low-level electrical currents. Worldwide research and investigations of both animal and human health problems in dairy barns have demonstrated that small continuous currents (as low as a fraction of a microamp) can affect well being. Bjorn Nordenstrom, among others, has suggested models that portray the bodies of living organisms as having electric circuits with small currents actually controlling life (Nordenstrom 1983). Appropriate electric currents of small magnitudes within the circuits of the body are vital to good health. The bodies of living organisms generate these currents and naturally provide the magnitudes that afford good health.
Using Nordenstroms models, one can imagine that exposure to an electric and magnetic environment could affect the currents in the circuits of the body, either positively or negatively. The medical community has utilized this positive potential in a number of ways. Negative changes caused by these currents, however, would require the body to correct the change. Such an event could be classified as a stress on the body. It would be logical to conclude that exposure to certain electrical conditions can be equivalent to initiating a stress. If the currents in the floor of the barn set up an electric and magnetic environment that causes inappropriate currents in the body of the cow or the human, the experienced effects would likely be similar to those caused by other stresses. Unfortunately, the research community has been reluctant to investigate this source of stress on animals and humans. The traditional research model continues to assume that negative health effects are possible only in the presence of physical shock.

I trying to use open source server monitoring tool.
I know there are a lot, but I couldn't find what I need..
the basic process of monitoring tool I used to use before was,
1) Install agent in my server which I want to monitor
2) The agent send data to "their server"
3) I can check the health of my server through web browser presented by them.
What I need is, avoiding "Step 2".
Are there any monitoring tool that I can use?
- I have Windows 2008 and Linux servers
- simple feature will be enough like (CPU, Memory, Network..)
Thank you

Home Cookin'November 3rd, 2009
On the ESPN broadcast of the game last Thursday between North Carolina and Virginia Tech, play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler said that in Virginia Tech's home games, visiting teams average over two false start or delay-of-game penalties per game. Those types of penalties are often credited (at least partially) to the crowd noise and hostile atmosphere in the home team's stadium.
Naturally, I wondered how Virginia Tech compared to other FBS teams in the average number of opponent's false start or delay-of-game penalties per home game. But when I started looking at the data, I realized that there is inconsistency in how official scorers record what type of penalty occurred. For instance, instead of recording a penalty specifically as a false start, some will record it using the more general "illegal procedure" type.
So I decided to consider delay-of-game penalties plus all penalties that fall under the category of "illegal procedure": false start, illegal formation, encroachment offense, and illegal procedure itself. These penalties are signaled by the referee using official signal number 19.
Here are the top teams whose home opponents average the highest number of illegal procedure and delay-of-game penalties per game. The data is from the 2005 through 2009 seasons, and only includes games at the team's home stadium (or stadiums in the case of Arkansas's two home stadiums and Miami's move from the Orange Bowl to Land Shark Stadium). Neutral site games are not included.
|------------------- Visiting Team ----------------------| False Illegal Illegal Encr. Delay Per Home Team G Start Proc. Form. Offense Of Game Total Game +---------------+-----+------+--------+--------+---------+--------+------+-----+ Texas 29 77 1 7 0 19 104 3.59 Missouri 29 66 3 7 1 15 92 3.17 Utah 28 71 1 5 0 8 85 3.04 Miami (Fla.) 30 59 2 10 2 17 90 3.00 Virginia Tech 32 61 3 13 0 17 94 2.94 Florida 31 47 5 14 1 21 88 2.84 Boise St. 30 48 15 5 0 17 85 2.83 California 30 59 4 4 1 16 84 2.80 Miss. St. 30 50 5 4 0 24 83 2.77 Arkansas 29 52 0 13 1 13 79 2.72 Oklahoma 29 59 0 5 0 15 79 2.72
So Virginia Tech ranks fifth among FBS teams using the above criteria. Texas, one of three Big 12 teams on the list, is first by a pretty good margin. I was a little surprised by Cal being on the list. I thought I'd see Oregon or USC from the Pac-10 on the list before Cal. Mississippi State's Davis Wade Stadium is not particularly big, but the fans have the cowbell effect on their side. Boise State's Bronco Stadium is even smaller, but visiting teams are obviously mesmerized by the blue turf.
The home stadium atmosphere is not likely the sole reason for how a team ranks on this list. The quality and style of play of both teams in a game and the penalty tendencies of the teams and officiating crews are among the factors that may contribute to the numbers.

According to new reports, the Carrie Olson investigation is "shifting." The 29-year-old who went missing from a gas station in Rock Island, Iowa last December was found in Dakota County, Minn., WQAD.com reports April 9. Now investigators are trying to piece together how the young woman's body got there and when it was put there.
Last Saturday at about 5:30 p.m., a land owner discovered Olson's body about six miles south of of Hastings. Chief Deputy of Dakota County Sheriff's Office, Tim Leslie, said the property owner was installing a trail camera to monitor wildlife in the area, when found Carrie Olson. "It's an area of about five- to six-acre home sites," Leslie said.
Quad City Times reports that Olson's family and police learned of her death through the media first, and not the medical examiner. Once the Hennepin County Medical Examiner positively identified Olson, he notified the press Tuesday night.
Some of the evidence surrounding the woman's death is inside her car, which is in police custody. So far no details have been released about the evidence. No suspects or persons of interest are in the Carrie Olson case yet, but authorities said the "cause and manner of death is under investigation."
Shaun and Danielle Anselment own the property where Olson's body was found. Shaun found the body and Danielle said "it wasn't what my husband expected to find." The couple purchased the land about two years ago. It was their dream land, but Danielle added that, "Now that we know who she is, and we can put a face with it, it's difficult for us."
Davenport Police Department is leading the investigation into this mysterious case. Olson's missing case was widely reported on when she disappeared in December 2013. Her story went viral and volunteers were out aggressively searching for her with police and K-9 units.
Will there be suspects named soon in the Carrie Olson case?

The cars of the Saab Car Museum: THE LIST
January 15, 2012 in News
Here is a list of the museum cars we collectively need to save for the future:
by Trued
January 15, 2012 in News
Here is a list of the museum cars we collectively need to save for the future:
Now the question remains… how? Here are my toughts from the previous post regarding the Museum:
"I'm afraid the whole museum cannot be saved unless a potential buyer comes forward. Individuals or clubs from all around the world may be able to "adopt" individual vehicles though. My best idea would be for each person willing to participate is to select a vehicle and start organizing a found raiser for that car only in his/her respective club or country. This could be an organized effort. Transporting, storing and displaying the vehicles would remain a question though. The collection would most likely be broken apart as well.
I'm thinking of setting up a website if nothing else where we can keep the collection together, virtually. Anyone having photos of the cars and museum itself could send it to me for upload."
Everyone willing to help me with the website, please send your photos of Saab Museum to gabor.kovacs at gmail.com! I would also need someone who can help me with Swedish-English translations 🙂
Timeshifter said on January 15, 2012
There is some kind of web application/widget called ChipIn (http://www.chipin.com/), which allows anyone with credit card/paypal to give some money. So, you can make some kind of fund raise or so. I think, we should just try to preserve this collection to be intact for short amount of time, while bankruptcy will be finished, and then, maybe, if there will be new owner, he may get it back. I have never been in Sweden, SAAB museum is one of "must-visit" places for me, so I wish, It would be still complete in Trollhattan when I make a visit.
BTW: Is there any English version? What does that columns mean?
Aaron said on January 15, 2012
The Cadillac on the list is bizarre.
Timeshifter said on January 15, 2012
BLS is a HEAVILY restyled Saab 9-3.

I've always wanted a stroker bullnose, but never thought of getting it this way 🙂
Robban said on January 15, 2012
You make me sick.
Smithy said on January 15, 2012
Agreed! Effing vultures..
3cyl said on January 15, 2012
Is the action to sell these cars an indication that none of the potential buyers of SAAB has expressed an interest in acquiring the museum? If so, it is hard to be entusiastic about the intent of these buyers if they acquire SAAB.
nickX said on January 15, 2012
you're right. my last hopes will be gone, as soon as the first car of the museum is actually sold.
Agree with both of you; if the buyer is not acquiring the cars from the museum it says a lot about their interest in the history of the brand.
The auction of the cars is awful; the value it will create will be minimal and not in relation to the value of the complete collection.
So the interested party MUST be interested to keep this collection together; will be peanuts compared to the complete investment.
baine said on January 15, 2012
Huh… did anyone else notice the prototype 4wd '92 9000 with 280hp? Now *that* would be interesting to own!
Does anyone know how much cars will be sold for?
Surely some motor museums (Haynes in UK or Retro Auto Museum in Moscow would be interested in acquiring some of the cars? I may talk to Retro-Auto when I'm in Moscow next month.
Next month will be too late, offers need to be sent in by the 20th this month!
OK, so how do we get an indication of what amount to offer? For example, if I wanted to purchase the Aero X for a museum, how much should I offer?
Tobbe said on January 15, 2012
If anyone are going to buy anything, you must buy everything and keep it in trollhättan!!!!
bender said on January 15, 2012
Guys, this is very sad. These cars need not end up in the hands of individual people. Cars like the SAAB SVO? All of these cars sum up to greater than the individual cars themselves. I am fully supportive of a solution to help save the museum and the cars. I'd much rather not see it break down into pieces since the whole group is what composes the museum. Again, I really think this is Saab heritage and should not be an "opportunity" for someone with money to buy a toy. This is history of Saab.
I really hope we can all come together and save this museum and for the cars to stay in Trollhättan.
I agree but a plan must be made otherwise we can just sit and see what's going to happen…
emmany3 said on January 15, 2012
I agree 100%. After a day like today celebrating our Saabs, there has to be solution that keeps those Saabs in their rightful home for everyone to enjoy!
100% on your side!
bender said on January 15, 2012
I emailed the administrators of the site that I would support to pay a yearly fee to keep it going. I guess not enough people showed support. How can some of us get involved in this? Perhaps in devising a few plans? I am willing to collaborate to help with this cause. I'm sure others here are as well in order to avert such an unfavourable situation. We don't want these cars separated nor ending up in the hands of whomever.
Tobbe said on January 15, 2012
It would be really nice to look up som billionar with car intrest. And together we might run the museum.
Bender, you´re totally right!
I would like to help this way too. But how can I, how can we help together to save the museum??
Jelmer said on January 15, 2012
Tim explained this a while ago but said there where not enough people responding to be part of saving the museum….
The recievers have to do this to be able to raise enough money to save Saab and sell it in one piece. The rest of Saabs assets is tied up in all kinds of agreements and rights.
Hope Innovatum can get it, its a good organisation/museum and Saab would fit nicely into its collection. There is more info about Saab and its history inside there than in the Saab museum.
Hogge said on January 15, 2012
There's a bit of an upside to this that people seem to be missing. You might not be able to read it because it's in Swedish, but nearly all of them have quite negative comments regarding what state they're in. Considering how many cars the museums have and that museums never actually drive their cars, that's understandable. I think that private owners whom are sufficiently interrested to buy cars from the museum, probably will invest a lot of energy in to getting them all in to perfect shape.
I don't see it as likely that some teen is going to buy let's say the Saab 99 kombi prototype and then treat it as a cheap banger. Probably the cars are going to be restored and then driven to different car shows.
That is what some of us brought up; the value of this museum is the collection, not the value of the individual cars.
Anatov; here is your chance to buy an important part of D-Saab without all the hassle from EIB and Swedish Government.
I think Antonov is too busy avoiding jail right now to care… 🙁
erik93b said on January 15, 2012
I would like to know how things are going with innovatum.
And if there are any other that want and can save the complete museum.
Have Tim not any contact with them?
All I know is what swedish newspapers are writing. Nearly no information from here…
It is looking very bad to me.
Why not starting another list of Saabfriends who would be ready to save the museum by paying a yearly fee for it. And show it her on SU, and every reader can see it and sign for it!
I simply can´t believe this chance is over… 🙁
+1 Good idea! We should start now!

The New York Knicks have caught a scheduling break over the past three games, facing three of the NBA's bottom dwellers, team that have managed the arduous task of being even worse than the Knicks this season. As a result, the Knicks have reeled off three straight victories with their latest coming at the expense of the hapless Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, extending the 76ers' losing streak to 17 games.
Although the victory counts the same as the other 24 the Knicks have this season, it should not be looked at as anything overly impressive. Wins against teams of the caliber of the 76ers come cheaply and despite what the Knicks did well during the game, nothing has changed for the team. They are still not ready to match up against the top teams in the NBA and will have to be content with knowing that they are the best of the mediocre teams in the NBA.
With two atrocious defensive teams squaring off against each other, the final score of 123-110 was almost an inevitability. The 2013-14 season is more than three-quarters gone, neither team has shown any ability, propensity, or desire to stop their opponents from putting the ball in the basket; the 76ers and the Knicks are tied for 28th place in defensive rating this season, with each allowing 109.7 points per 100 possessions.
Thanks to the lackluster defense played by both sides, each team was able to rattle off points as if they were playing in a no-defense All-Star contest. The difference is the final score of the contest was a reflection of what has been a season-long trend: the Knicks possess a far more potent offense than the 76ers, having scored 8.5 points per 100 possessions more than the 76ers.
Not even the Knicks' porous defense was able to close that gap so while the 76ers were able to put together one of their better offensive games of the season against the Knicks, a feat many Knicks opponents have achieved, their offensive output of 113.7 points per 100 possessions was undone by the fact they allowed a mind-blowing 127.2 points per 100 possessions with the second half being when the Knicks really separated themselves. After the teams were tied at 61-61 at halftime, the Knicks proceeded to outscore by 13 points over the final two periods en route to notching their 25th season victory.
With such staggeringly high offensive numbers, there were a number of offensive stars for the Knicks on Monday with Tim Hardaway, Jr. leading the way with 28 points on 13 field goal attempts and 6 free throw attempts and also producing 154 points per 100 possessions. Four other Knicks scored at least double figures with only Carmelo Anthony doing such in an inefficient manner. Even against an abysmal defense, those statistics are quite impressive.
The run of the Knicks facing off against awful NBA teams will continue over the course of their next two games with contests against the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics so it is entirely feasible that we will see the Knicks put together a five-game winning streak and perhaps even provide Knicks fans with some false hope before crashing back to Earth as their competition stiffens in the future.

Progress-M32: This old freighter separated from Mir on 20.11.1996 at 194414 UTC. The same day at 224218 UTC the de-orbit burn took place and she burnt up over the Pacific East from New Zealand.
Chris v.d. Berg, NL-9165/A-UK3202.
CDR Whitson & FE-1 Malenchenko started off on today's light-duty schedule with another standard 30-min Shuttle RPM (R-bar Pitch Maneuver) skill training, Peggy's third, Yuri's fourth, using DCS-760 digital still cameras with 400 & 800mm lenses at Service Module (SM) windows 6 & 8 to take imagery of documented EO (Earth Observation) targets facing the velocity vector (in flight direction). Afterwards, Peggy downlinked the obtained images to the ground for analysis, to be discussed at a subsequent tagup. (The skill training prepares crewmembers for the bottomside mapping of the Orbiter at the arrival of STS-122/1E in December. During the RPM at ~600 ft from the station, the ISS crew will have only ~90 seconds for taking high-resolution digital photographs of all tile areas and door seals on the Atlantis from SM windows 6 & 8, to be downlinked for launch debris assessment. Thus, time available for the shooting will be very limited, requiring great coordination between the two headset-equipped photographers and the Shuttle.)

Benihana Restaurant Review: Long before this country's pan-Asian and Pacific Rim culinary boom, there was Benihana. The restaurant continues to awe newcomers and kids with the dazzling dexterity of its knife-flipping chefs at the table, slicing, dicing and cooking teppanyaki-style before your eyes --- dinner and a show, to say the least. From Japanese-style steak, chicken and seafood accompanied by a mound of rice and vegetables, this is one way to get the younger set to eat well. Highlights include hibachi scallops, the Samurai Treat (filet mignon and shrimp), and twin lobster tails.

The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Madison (Morris Township) recently announced its 2014 season line-up of plays by Shakespeare, George Bernard Shaw, Ben Jonson, Molière, and contemporary playwright David Davalos. The works comprise both the familiar and the obscure, all of them classics.
As in last season, the Company this year will present six productions on its Main Stage at the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre in Madison, one summer production on the Outdoor Stage–the Greek amphitheater on the campus of The College of Saint Elizabeth in Morris Township–and several special events and programs. The 2014 season, which runs from late May through December, comprises these works:
"The Tempest," by William Shakespeare, will be directed by Artistic Director Bonnie J. Monte, who began directing at the Theatre with this same work in 1991. Actor Sherman Howard will head the cast as Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan who rules over his enchanted island home. "The Tempest" will begin performances on May 28.
"The Learned Ladies," by Molière, is up next on the Outdoor Stage. Its 17th-century comedic characters seem plucked directly out of this 21st century. Brian B. Crowe, who staged Shakespeare's "Pericles" to crown the 2013 season, will direct. Performances begin June 18.
"The Devil's Disciple," by George Bernard Shaw, is his only play set in America. The year: 1777. The time: the American Revolutionary War (or, the rebellion of the North American colonies, as it is known in Great Britain). An unlikely anti-hero makes the ultimate sacrifice, causing Loyalists and patriots alike to question the true meaning of honor. Paul Mullins will direct. "The Devil's Disciple" opens July 2—just in time for Independence Day and the celebration of New Jersey's 350th anniversary.
"The Alchemist," by Ben Jonson, as adapted by director Bonnie J. Monte, is a rowdy, bawdy comedy about con men in 1610 and demonstrates how little has changed about greed or gullibility in the affairs of mankind. The playwright's astute portrayal of three tricksters and the parade of outrageous characters they gull exemplifies the satirical wit of one of Shakespeare's greatest contemporaries. "The Alchemist" opens Aug. 6.
"Wittenberg," by David Davalos, premiered in 2008 and is a witty contemporary classic-inspired play directed by Joseph Discher. The work imagines a semester at Wittenberg University and features an unusual quartet: Doctor Faustus, Martin Luther, Helen of Troy and a young Hamlet. Together, the characters pose queries and arguments about faith, existence, and even tennis. Performances begin Sept. 10.
"Henry VIII" is a rarely-produced work by Shakespeare. About it Artistic Director Bonnie J. Monte says, "I have always maintained that if a director would be willing to create a smart and very streamlined version, then the many brilliant aspects of the play could shine more brightly." Longtime company director Paul Mullins took on the challenge; he returns in the fall to direct this historical epic about the young King Henry and the first two of his six wives. "Henry VIII" will open Oct. 15.
"Much Ado About Nothing," by Shakespeare, closes the 2014 season. It has not been seen at the Theatre in over a decade. Renowned actor and director Scott Wentworth, returns to the Theatre for the first time since 2005 to direct the production, also portraying Benedick opposite his real-life wife, Marion Adler, who appeared in the Theatre's 2013 production of "Our Town." The director updates the play to post-World War II. "Much Ado About Nothing" begins Dec. 3.

Chattanooga, Tenn. — Due to the recent expansion of Tennessee's mortgage assistance program known as the "Hardest Hit Fund," thousands of homeowners on disability can rest a little easier now that they are eligible for the Hardest Hit Medical Fund.
As a result of having an unemployment rate higher than the national average, Tennessee is among 18 states considered hardest hit by foreclosure. As a result, the state received $217 million in federal Trouble Asset Relief Program (TARP) funding to assist unemployed or underemployed homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes. This funding created the Hardest Hit Fund. Since the Hardest Hit Fund program began in March 2011, CNE has administered more than $4.5 million in payment assistance to more than 200 unemployed or underemployed homeowners locally.
Recently, the Tennessee Housing Development Agency (THDA) received $25 million from the National Mortgage Settlement to assist even more Tennessee homeowners. THDA has utilized these additional funds to expand the existing Hardest Hit Fund program to include homeowners who have had a reduction in income due to receiving long-term disability. Like the Hardest Hit Fund, the new program, dubbed the Hardest Hit Medical Fund, is not a long-term solution, but will help financially-troubled homeowners keep up with house payments in their time of need. Homeowners do not have to be delinquent to qualify for assistance.
Overseen by the Tennessee Housing Development Agency, the Hardest Hit Medical Fund has called upon Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise (CNE), a local nonprofit, to administer the application process for Hamilton County and surrounding areas, including Bledsoe, Bradley, Grundy, Marion, Meigs, McMinn, Polk, Rhea and Sequatchie Counties.
"The Hardest Hit Medical Fund is a great example of federal, state and local government partnering together to achieve something extraordinary," said Jeremy Fitzsimmons, senior foreclosure prevention specialist at Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise.
Tennessee's Hardest Hit Medical Fund program could pay up to 18 months of eligible homeowners' payments on their mortgage and mortgage-related expenses, including property taxes, homeowner insurance, homeowner association dues and past-due mortgage payments that accumulated since the hardship.
"With a wide array of programs and services available, Chattanooga Neighborhood Enterprise is there during times of need to give homeowners a fighting chance to keep control of finances and plan ahead for a promising, stable future for themselves and their families," said Fitzsimmons.
Applicants can register for assistance online at www.cneinc.org or call the Foreclosure Prevention Hotline at (423) 664-4663.

Cuba's island Cayo Largo del Sur is seen from the International Space Station in November 2005. No more than 15.5 miles long and 1.9 miles wide, it's the second-biggest island in Cuba's Canarreos Archipelago. Christopher Columbus is said to have visited the island on his second expedition in 1494, and Sir Francis Drake may have also stopped on the island during his circumnavigation of the globe. Pirates also likely used the island as a base. Today, pristine beaches, scuba diving, and wildlife draw tourists to the island, but no people live there permanently; locals who work in the hotels stay for about 20 days, then return to their families on nearby islands. Cayo Largo is a limestone island, formed over millions of years from the remains of marine organisms, such as the ones that build coral reefs. Living coral reefs form one more attraction for tourists on this island. The northern coast of Cayo Largo consists largely of mangroves and salt pans. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth. Image Credit: NASA

Duration: 1hr 41min
If you had the chance to meet yourself as an 8-year-old child, would that kid be happy with who you turned out to be? In Russ Duritz's case, the answer is a resounding "No!" Russ somehow finds his life as a successful "image consultant" turned upside down when he magically meets Rusty-himself as an 8-year-old child. Rusty is a sweet, but slightly geeky, pudgy little kid who is not at all happy with who he turns out to be --a 40-year-old "loser" without a wife or a dog. Ironically, the kid helps Russ to learn about himself and remember his dreams, in order to become the grown-up he wants to be.

Return to List of Healing Beliefs
You may ask: Is it selfish to ask for healing?
This healing scripture tells us that when Peter's mother-in-law had the flu Jesus healed her, and she then looked after them.
Do you think you are serving God better by being ill?
But perhaps you feel frustrated that your illness prevents you from serving in the way you would like.
Make a list of how you would serve God if you were well.
In which way do you believe you serve God best?
Here is another healing scripture which may help you claim your healing if you believe you would serve God best by being healthy.
Do you feel you have all that you need to abound in every good work?
Perhaps you do. There are many people who are ill who are doing fantastic work.
But, if you feel frustrated by your difficulty in serving whilst you are ill, you can use this scripture to claim the healing that would allow you to serve.

Autumn is a time where the leaves change, Halloween and Thanksgiving are the two star holidays, kids are going back to school, and the weather gets cooler. It's a season before the bitter comes. Personally it's a favorite season of mine, and that's why this article is a start where we look at superstitions and things that have to do with autumn. The first piece of autumn that gets this treatment is pumpkins.
Pumpkins are a big part of the season, we carve them during Halloween, make them into pies during Thanksgiving, and pranksters like to smash them. So let's look at some superstitions that deal with pumpkins:
- Good Friday is considered the best day to plant pumpkins.
- A superstition in Maine tells that pumpkins are good for the eyes. So it's not carrots!
- Pumpkins are carved on Halloween to scare off evil spirits and demons that are around during that night.
- Plant pumpkin seeds in May and the seeds will go away, and you won't get any pumpkins.
- Plant pumpkin seeds in June and they will come soon.
- You plant pumpkins when the apple trees are blooming.
- If a cow eats a pumpkin, she'll not produce any milk.
- Now if a cow eats pumpkin seeds, she'll still not produce any milk.
- If you point at a growing pumpkin, the pumpkin will stop growing.
- Pumpkin seeds are cure tapeworm problems.
- Pumpkins according to a folklore cure, if you use its pumpkin seeds then make tea out o it, that can help bladder trouble.
- According to this one, to beautify yourself all you just have to do is eat some pumpkin seeds.
So that's an interesting look at superstitions that are about pumpkins from the cures it can do, to from when the best planting is Stay tune for more articles about autumn related things and superstitions!

|The thesis presented the fabrication and characterisation of polymer optical fibers in their applications as optical amplifier and smart sensors.Optical polymers such as PMMA are found to be a very good host material due to their ability to incorporate very high concentration of optical gain media like fluorescent dyes and rare earth compounds. High power and high gain optical amplification in organic dye-doped polymer optical fibers is possible due to extremely large emission cross sections of oyes. Dye doped (Rhodamine 6G) optical fibers were fabricated by using indigenously developed polymer optical fiber drawing tower. Loss characterization of drawn dye doped fibers was carried out using side illumination technique. The advantage of the above technique is that it is a nondestructive method and can also be used for studying the uniformity in fiber diameter and doping. Sensitivity of the undoped polymer fibers to temperature and microbending were also studied in its application in smart sensors.Optical amplification studies using the dye doped polymer optical fibers were carried out and found that an amplification of l8dB could be achieved using a very short fiber of length lOcm. Studies were carried out in fibers with different dye concentrations and diameter and it was observed that gain stability was achieved at relatively high dye concentrations irrespective of the fiber diameter.Due to their large diameter, large numerical aperture, flexibility and geometrical versatility of polymer optical fibers it has a wide range of applications in the field of optical sensing. Just as in the case of conventional silica based fiber optic sensors, sensing techniques like evanescent wave, grating and other intensity modulation schemes can also be efficiently utilized in the case of POF based sensors. Since polymer optical fibers have very low Young's modulus when compared to glass fibers, it can be utilized for sensing mechanical stress and strain efficiently in comparison with its counterpart. Fiber optic sensors have proved themselves as efficient and reliable devices to sense various parameters like aging, crack formation, weathering in civil structures. A similar type of study was carried out to find the setting characteristics of cement paste used for constructing civil structures. It was found that the measurements made by using fiber optic sensors are far more superior than that carried out by conventional methods. More over,POF based sensors were found to have more sensitivity as well.

|We report enhanced back scattering in nanometer-sized ZnO colloids prepared in two different media, by different methods. The FWHM of the back scattered cone and hence the mean free path varied with concentration of ZnO as well as particle size. The Lorentzian profile of backscattered cone indicates the presence of coherence.
|The authors apply the theory of photothermal lens formation and also that of pure optical nonlinearity to account for the phase modulation in a beam as it traverses a nonlinear medium. It is used to simultaneously determine the nonlinear optical refraction and the thermo-optic coefficient. They demonstrate this technique using some metal phthalocyanines dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, irradiated by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with 10 Hz repetition rate and a pulse width of 8 ns. The mechanism for reverse saturable absorption in these materials is also discussed.
|A simple, effective and inexpensive fiber optic sensor for investigating the setting characteristics of various grades of cement is described. A finite length of unsheathed multimode optical fiber laid inside the cement mix, is subjected to stress during the setting process. The microbends created on the fiber due to this stress directly influence the intensity of light propagating through the fiber. Continuous monitoring of such variations in the light output transmitted through the fiber gives a clear measure of the setting characteristics of the cement mix, thus providing a simple and elegant technique of great practical importance in the field of civil engineering. The smart fiber optic sensor described above can be incorporated into a building during the construction process itself so that continuous monitoring of the deterioration process for the entire life time of the building can be carried out.
|Variations of the infaunal polychates populations due to bottom trawling were studied during December 2000 to November 2002 at depth ranging from 0-50 m along Cochin-Munambam area (Kerala, long. 76degree10'94" to 75degree 56' and lat.9degree58' to 10degree10'), in the southwest coast of India.Infaunal polychaetes from the sediment samples were collected both before and after experimental trawling in order to assess the variations on their abundance (no.m-2),biomass(g.m-2) and diversity due to bottom trawling .Highest variations in polychaetes were recorded at station 9 in May 2002 where polychaete abundance increased to 20710 no.m-2 after trawling from 2787 no.m-2 before trawling.Biomass showed highest variations at station 3 in December 2000 where biomass increased from 7.16g.m-2 recorded before trawling to 34.53 g.m-2 in the samples collected after trawling .Multivariate community analysis carried out based on both species abundance and biomass of plychaetes also confirm the wide variations in the similarities of the stations comparing both before and after trawling

|Protease inhibitors are one of the most important tools of nature for regulating the proteolytic activity of their target proteases. They are synthesized in biological systems and they play a critical role in controlling a number of diverse physiological functions. The current investigation focused on the isolation, purification and characterization of a novel protease inhibitor from Moringa oleifera. The results obtained during the course of study opens new perspectives for the utilization of protease inhibitor from Moringa oleifera for various pharmaceutical, agricultural and food industries. The biological and physicochemical properties exhibited by the novel protease inhibitor from Moringa oleifera clearly testify its suitability for the development as a drug for application in pharmaceutical industries such as anticoagulant agent or biocontrol agent in agriculture and even as a food preservant. There is a scope for further research on the structure elucidation and protein engineering towards a wide range of further applications. Detailed structure/function analysis of these proteins is important to facilitate their use in genetic engineering for various applications.

|Wavelength dependence of saturable absorption (SA) and reverse saturable absorption (RSA) of zinc phthalocyanine was studied using 10 Hz, 8 ns pulses from a tunable laser, in the wavelength range of 520–686 nm, which includes the rising edge of the Q band in the electronic absorption spectrum. The nonlinear response is wavelength dependent and switching from RSA to SA has been observed as the excitation wavelength changes from the low absorption window region to higher absorption regime near the Q band. The SA again changes back to RSA when we further move over to the infrared region. Values of the imaginary part of third order susceptibility are calculated for various wavelengths in this range. This study is important in identifying the spectral range over which the nonlinear material acts as RSA based optical limiter.
|Fine magnetic particles (size≅100 Å) belonging to the series ZnxFe1−xFe2O4 were synthesized by cold co-precipitation methods and their structural properties were evaluated using X-ray diffraction. Magnetization studies have been carried out using vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) showing near-zero loss loop characteristics. Ferrofluids were then prepared employing these fine magnetic powders using oleic acid as surfactant and kerosene as carrier liquid by modifying the usually reported synthesis technique in order to induce anisotropy and enhance the magneto-optical signals. Liquid thin films of these fluids were prepared and field-induced laser transmission through these films was studied. The transmitted light intensity decreases at the centre with applied magnetic field in a linear fashion when subjected to low magnetic fields and saturate at higher fields. This is in accordance with the saturation in cluster formation. The pattern exhibited by these films in the presence of different magnetic fields was observed with the help of a CCD camera and was recorded photographically.
|The current research investigates the possibility of using single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as filler in polymers to impart several properties to the matrix polymer. SWNTs in a polymer matrix like poly(ethylene terephthalate) induce nucleation in its melt crystallization, provide effective reinforcement and impart electrical conductivity. We adopt a simple melt compounding technique for incorporating the nanotubes into the polymer matrix. For attaining a better dispersion of the filler, an ultrasound assisted dissolution-evaporation method has also been tried. The resulting enhancement in the materials properties indicates an improved disentanglement of the nanotube ropes, which in turn provides effective matrix-filler interaction. PET-SWNT nanocomposite fibers prepared through melt spinning followed by subsequent drawing are also found to have significantly higher mechanical propertiesas compared to pristine PET fiber.SWNTs also find applications in composites based on elastomers such as natural rubber as they can impart electrical conductivity with simultaneous improvement in the mechanical properties.

|The present study examined the antiulcer effect of glucosamine on mucosal antioxidant defense system in ibuprofen-induced peptic ulcer in male albino rats. The results of the present study indicate that the pre-oral administration of chitosan and glucosamine maintain near to the normal status the activities of the mucosal antioxidant enzymes and the level of GSH (Glutathione), which protect mucosa against oxidative damage by decreasing the lipid peroxidation and strengthening the mucosal barrier, and which are the first line of defense against exogenous ulcerogenic agents. In this study indicate that the oral pre-treatment of chitosan and glucosamine can prevent ibuprofen-induced peptic ulcer in rats.This study can be concluded that co-administration of chitsosan and glucosamine can effectively prevent the isonized and rifampicin induced hepatotoxicity in rats.Comparatively, chitosan was found to have better results than glucosamine in alleviating the hepatic disorders.

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
It is quite easy to show mercy externally and to lack a truly merciful heart. A truly merciful person is not quick to judge the righteousness of another. A merciful person doesn't wonder whether the person she shows mercy to "deserves" mercy or sympathy. A merciful person is aware that she herself needs mercy.
Some people like thinking of themselves as perfect; they don't believe they need mercy. Because they have managed to attain what they consider to be perfect spirituality, they allow themselves to judge others. They are like the pious pharisee who tells God all that is good about themselves and compare themselves to others...always making themselves superior in their own eyes.

After building up much anticipation for the project, Milwaukee native Philly Anderson finally dropped his long awaited Meditation In London EP. The album contains 10 total tracks and enlists guest appearances from the likes of: Mad Static, Pharaoh Mac, Lyrically Poetic, etc. Continue reading below to see which songs out of the bunch spoke to The Examiner.
"Keep God First"
This marks the very first song on the EP. The production here is down to earth. The featherweight bass, soulful groovy musical components, lax rhythm, and nonchalant vibe come together nicely. No hook is executed on this track. But the verse is layered in a manner where one isn't really needed. The uninterrupted spitting is choice. Philly brings a neat flow, practical wordplay, and real rhymes. He gives the listener a deeply personal look into who he his while at the same time giving a nod to the man upstairs.
A couple of lines worth remembering include: "Mom's hit me with a black book. And no she not a mason. But a book we never took time to look. Sitting on ya dresser, coffee table, collecting dust (...) and growing old. I never paid attention until I did. It happens when you going through some serious s--t. Like losing jobs to bs break ups to pockets getting thin to you get jumped by thugs that's young to be in the All That cast. Almost got a neck-brace with my foot up their a**. But somehow it didn't break me." Those are some honest thought provoking bars right there. Overall, this song was a well-bred way to kick things off.
The production here is intriguing. The full quiet infrastructure, labored background ingredients, slow tempo, and somber vibe make for a four star combination. The hook is fresh. The delivery is appealing and the lyrics are slick. The verses are proper. Philly exhibits a breezy flow, prime wordplay, and opulent rhymes. He discusses various struggles he faces as well as how he deals with them in a very relatable fashion.
Some noteworthy lines are: "Wifey calling me but the phone went dead. Suicide in a glass and took one to the head. She could sooth my disturbed soul. But what we got in common is we both take time alone. I'm tired of not trying in fear of success. Would it change me when it all gets different? I see my man Static got the church to say amen. So I apologize for my sin of being distant." Those words are deftly packaged and paint quite a stirring picture. All in all, this selection is a hit and the site favorite.
"Beautiful Emcee"
The production here is quality. The easy going foundation, free spirited secondary elements, consistent pace, and affable vibe mesh superlatively. This is another record that was completed without a hook. But it's nicely spaced out to where the hook isn't missed at all. The elongated verse is refreshing. Philly doles out a warm flow with the occasional melody, sprightly wordplay, and fitting rhymes. He pens a very sincere ode to the female emcee.
Peep a snippet from his dedication: "The opposite sex of poetry is what I miss. Her elements of thoughts in the form of a kiss. Her lips soothe my soul like it's a trumpet. (...) I have dreams to have an emcee wife. Our freestyle battles is our sex every night. If not, Lord let me be there when she's writing. Create this beat in the back of my mind and hear her voice on that microphone. And flows like water. Fresh and dirty but cold or warm." One has to appreciate the tasteful and expressive nature of those words right there. In the end, this is a flattering effort.
Meditation In London was worth the wait for sure. Philly served up a strong variety of content in a grade A manner and the sound was top of the line too. Readers will dig it without question. He already has another project in the works and promises it will be even better than this one. That's going to be quite a feat to accomplish. I can't wait to check it out. Salute to Philly for being a positive example of what the Milwaukee Hip-Hop scene has to offer and for always showing love.

Multiscale Complex Fluid Flows and Interfacial Phenomena
Many flows of simple and complex liquids and, soft matter in general, involve deformable interfaces between different phases and interactions with
solid rigid or deformable substrates. The presence of interfaces makes such flows inherently nonlinear, often subject to instabilities that may trigger
transitions to complex spatiotemporal behaviour. Several other challenges include the presence of hierarchies of nested time and length scales while
solid boundaries result in surface forces and wettability effects whose precise role is not fully understood, in particular, for complex liquids.
The workshop will bring together experts on complex fluid flows from different disciplines, including mathematics, engineering, physics and chemistry.
They will report on the latest experiments, theoretical advances and technological applications to foster a discussion of the underlying conceptional challenges.

The Atlanta Thrashers are days away from officially being nudged out from the record books. A new NHL season is about to begin without a team in the eighth-largest television market in the United States.
Abandoned by a league that went to the mat in Glendale to "save" the Phoenix Coyotes (aided by the NHL-patented two-step municipal shakedown) and thrown away by the litigious and business tone deaf Atlanta Spirit, the Thrashers will begin a new chapter in Winnipeg – a metropolitan area 1/7th the size of the ATL on Canada's prairie.
Of course, hockey was born in Canada and like some folks may protest – size doesn't matter. And those in Manitoba's capital hope that their second attempt at hockey – the "resurrection" of the Winnipeg Jets – doesn't end up like Atlanta redux.
Enthusiasm abounds for hockey there. Hockey is Canada.
Sellouts are certain and Jets fever abounds ahead of Winnipeg's season opener against the Montreal Canadiens at the MTS Centre on Sunday.
Unfortunately for those hockey crazed fans, no matter how hard they try to make it look like they are getting something special in Winnipeg, no matter how much they dress up the "Return of the Jets" (last time I checked that team is still playing in Phoenix), Peggers are still getting the Atlanta Thrashers.
Yep folks… that same cursed Atlanta Thrashers franchise that is still looking for its first playoff W.
There's not much of a difference between this year's Jets team and their 2010-11 Atlanta Thrashers counterpart that jetted out of the gate strong, only to plummet the earth and miss the playoffs for the 10th time in the eventual 11 year history of the franchise.
True North's business model seems to just be: Hey guys! We have NHL hockey.
Sure, the Jets have made some minor changes. Gone are Atlanta fan favorites Eric Boulton and Anthony Stewart, replaced with mainly local kids from Canada, who either grew up in Winnipeg (Derek Meech) or have had some sort of affiliation with either the True North-owned Manitoba Moose or their parent club, the Vancouver Canucks.
But at the end of the day, the only thing that's not the same is the name – or as U.S. President Barack Obama once quipped, "you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."
The Thrashers were unimpressive when the Spirit sold them off the highest "legitimate" bidder and they remain unimpressive today.
Winnipeg failed to improve the Atlanta roster in the offseason, they failed to sign a marquee free agent, and they failed to pull the trigger on any sort of blockbuster trade to elevate the team from also-ran status in the competitive Southeast Division.
Much like in seasons past, the 2011-12 version of the Jets will live and die on "potential" and hope that their nucleus matures. And much like the former Atlanta Thrashers this Jets team will have its share of struggles and should be on the wrong side of the ledger come playoff time in April.
Atlanta hockey fans have seen it before.
- The team is pinning its hopes on an untested rookie (Mark Scheifele) to make serious contributions on a team that lacks a scoring punch.
- The team did nothing to address its glaring need for a top-six forward talent, instead signing a number of third and fourth line pieces, while trying to keep up with the potent Washington Capitals and resurgent Tampa Bay Lightning in the Southeast.
- The team pins its hopes on an improving young goalie (Ondrej Pavelec) and a couple of offensive weapons (Andrew Ladd and Evander Kane) that are looking to meet all-too-lofty expectations.
Sure, if everything goes right, the Jets could potentially make the playoffs. IF everything goes right. Yep, there goes word potential sprinkled in with that word if again. Get used to uttering it, Jets fans. Thrashers fans certainly did.
You inherit that "potential" too.
While you can put lipstick on the Thrashers, they are still the Thrashers.
Y'all enjoy NHL hockey there Winnipeg!

BEREA — When Eric Wright chose Detroit over Cleveland, the Browns entered the market for a No. 3 cornerback. They filled the need with Dimitri Patterson, who signed Wednesday and practiced for the first time Thursday.
It's safe to say Patterson had a better year than Wright in 2010.
Not only did he get his first NFL start after five years, Patterson started 10 games for the Philadelphia Eagles, including a playoff loss to Green Bay. He set career highs with 62 tackles and four interceptions.
Wright was burned repeatedly for touchdowns and ended the season injured.
"It was a good opportunity, it was a good experience in a competitive conference and I gained some great experience doing that," said Patterson, 5-foot-10, 200 pounds. "Now I feel more confident, more comfortable and it was a good situation for me."
He thought he further proved himself against the Packers and their potent passing attack in the playoff pressure-cooker.
"It was a good situation for me to come in that Philly scheme, that man-to-man scheme, and show I can go and play against top-tier talent," Patterson, 28, said. "I was able to go and show I can cover some of the best receivers. I can do it all four quarters."
Browns defensive coordinator Dick Jauron coached Eagles defensive backs last year. Veteran cornerback Sheldon Brown was Patterson's teammate in Philadelphia in 2009.
"It's good to come somewhere new but you're comfortable," Patterson said. "Because in this league you've got to hit the ground running, so that allows me to do that."
Patterson will begin as the nickelback covering the slot receiver. He said he's just as comfortable on the outside, and would be the first choice to fill in as a starter if Brown or Joe Haden were injured. The addition of Patterson enables the Browns to ease fifth-round pick Buster Skrine into the rotation.
"I'm glad he's here. He's a very competitive guy," coach Pat Shurmur said of Patterson. "We feel like he's a guy that can come in and compete and play either inside or outside."
Richmond McGee was in his Austin, Texas, office buying and selling stock Tuesday morning when he got the call that the Browns wanted him in for a tryout Wednesday. He hopped on a plane, beat out four other punters and signed.
McGee has been to an NFL camp the past three years and is hoping this time he makes it to the regular season.
"Just excited to have this shot, this shot I've been waiting for for three years now," he said.
The punter job came open when Reggie Hodges tore his Achilles' tendon Tuesday. The permanent job isn't promised to McGee, but he gets the first crack.
"He'll have a chance now to go out and perform in the preseason games, and we'll make an evaluation of his performance," Shurmur said. "If there is somebody available that we're interested in, then we'll have to make a comparison. But he's got a chance to make this team, a better chance than most 'cause he's here."
McGee is a "wealth manager" for a big firm in Austin, where he went to the University of Texas. He has known Browns kicker Phil Dawson for years and worked out with him over the summer. McGee was in camp with Philadelphia in 2008 when Browns general manager Tom Heckert was with the Eagles, and spent the last two camps in Chicago with new Browns special teams coordinator Chris Tabor.
"It just seems like all the cards are aligning and a lot of familiar faces around here for me," McGee said. "Just seems like a really good fit and a great opportunity for me.
"There's 32 jobs available so the best 32 guys are going to have those jobs. So my job here is to make sure I'm one of those best 32, and I'm super-motivated to do that."
He struggled in his first chance to punt at the end of practice. In a drill designed to down the ball inside the 10-yard line, he kicked only two of six past the 10.
Rookie receiver Greg Little, a second-round pick, seemed like he was involved in every other play during practice. The Browns did red zone drills, and the coaches wanted to see how Little (6-2, 220 pounds) reacted.
They got a mixed bag. Little caught a few balls for touchdowns, including a post from Colt McCoy with Sheldon Brown in coverage. But he also had a few drops and couldn't make a couple of plays that would've been difficult catches.
"He had a lot of opportunities and he showed up," Shurmur said. "He made a few nice plays. He had a couple other opportunities where he didn't get it done. Again, he'll learn from that.
"It's early in the process. He's getting a feel for his body. He ran a lot of routes today. He hung in there and I think this was a really good day for him. We feel like he's got a chance to be a player so we're going to put him in a position to make plays."
The night ended on a sour note as a sideline throw went through Little's hands and was intercepted by defensive back Darian Hagan.
Rookie tight end Jordan Cameron (hamstring), receiver Jordan Norwood (hip flexor) and rookie offensive lineman Jason Pinkston (shoulder) joined the injured list. Norwood's injury happened during practice.
** Running back Montario Hardesty (knee surgery last season) and receiver Joshua Cribbs (knee) didn't practice but worked out on the side with a coach. Hardesty has been severely limited the last several days.
"The same plan for him," Shurmur said. "We'll just get him out there when he's ready to go."
** Left guard Eric Steinbach (knee), tight end Benjamin Watson (concussion) and receiver Carlton Mitchell (shoulder) returned to practice.
** Receiver Mohamed Massaquoi (leg) is still in a cast.
When the free agents were allowed to join practice, defensive end Jayme Mitchell and safety Usama Young immediately took spots with the first team. Brandon Jackson got time at running back and as the upback on kickoff returns.
** Rookie Chris Matthews, a 6-5, 218-pound undrafted free agent, made a leaping catch over the 5-9 Skrine in the corner of the end zone.
** Skrine dropped a short kickoff.
** Carlton Mitchell couldn't get his feet down inbounds on a fade.
** Former Browns coach has been hired by ESPN as an NFL analyst.
** Abram Elam, who started for the Browns at safety the last two years, signed with Dallas, where he will be reunited with defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.

A unanimous vote last Tuesday by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors marked the first step in the city's intended four-year phase-out of plastic water bottles. If the mayor signs off on the legislation, it would mean the end of single-use bottles being sold on city property, and San Francisco would become the largest municipality in the country to implement a plastic water ban.
The ban would be initiated October 2014 in city-owned buildings and indoor city-managed events, eliminating the sale of all disposable plastic water bottles less than or equal to 21 ounces. City funds would no longer be allowed to be used toward the purchase of bottled water. Though certain temporary exceptions are planned-—notably, at San Francisco International Airport and at sporting events such as marathons on public property—the plan is to expand the ban over time. The next step in the phase-out would be extending the ban to outdoor events on city property, applying to vendors of food trucks, park concessions, parades and more. Violators could be fined up to $1,000 once the phase-out has begun.
Possible Implications
The water bottle ban could extend city-wide in the future, applying to private events and property as well as public, but the successful implementation of this initial phase-out is key to long-term success. Of course, there are hurdles and open-ended questions to be addressed regarding the sustainability of the plan. The Los Angeles Times raises the question of safe and accessible water in a recent editorial. After a leniency period, organizers of public sporting events like marathons would have to locate their own water sources, and the ability to find such sources has not been largely addressed. The writers of the editorial argue that even though the goal to eliminate plastic bottle waste is an admirable one, it must go hand-in-hand with an assurance of free and clean public water lest citizens turn to other bottled beverages and simply replace plastic bottle waste with soda bottle waste.
Toward a Larger Goal
Despite the high number of San Francisco residents who actively recycle, an estimated tens of millions of plastic bottles still ultimately go to local landfills every year. The impact of disposable plastic bottles is greater than just the bottles themselves as is evidenced by the millions of barrels of oil, major contributors to climate change, that are used to produce and transport them throughout the United States. The plastic bottle ban is a major step in San Francisco's "Zero Waste by 2020" goal, following in the footsteps of a plastic bag ban and a foam food container ban. If the phase-out is successful, plastic bottle bans could become more widespread, reducing waste all over the country.
