In our hectic daily lives , we often forget or lose sight of the beauty that is all around us, constantly. We should do more than just "stop and smell the roses" once in a while. This is a collection of those simple, brief moments in time when I have been blessed with "glimpses of heaven." In this book, I share a photographic diary of flora, fauna, and the fruits of harvest. And if you look closely, you'll notice that some pictures are just beautiful parts of other pictures. I hope you'll enjoy this journey with me as you take time to pause and look more closely to discover your own "glimpses of heaven."

A month of 'anniversaries'
Friday, February 20, 2009
This month was always a busy month for me. It's one that most importantly in my life now marks my youngest's birthday - she turns 8 tomorrow and well it is my reality that I don't have babies anymore. It's sad, yet nice. It means that they are becoming more independent. It means that I now have more 'me' time.
I remember as they were younger how my time was consumed playing the role of caregiver. A time, when I used to forget about me and perhaps where I let myself go and gained some weight.
Those times have changed and now as I focus on becoming healthy, I act as a role model for my children who watch as I practice good eating, exercise. I feel great about this.
It's also the month where my dad's birthday was, my ex's birthday, valentine's and next week - Feb 25th was not only my former wedding anniversary date but my parents. I used to look at this month with dread and feel sad but NO MORE. Now I choose to look at it in a more positive light... as I recognize the freedom that my daughters' aging brings, how I can now go out more and do more independently. I look at next week's date as a time to recall fondly my parents who lived 'till death did them part' ... celebrating over 40 years of marriage.
I do not condone marriage. Although it didn't work out for me, I still do believe in love. It just meant that mine was not the ONE. It does not mean there is not ONE for me... just that I haven't come across it in my journey yet.
It's the one part that I miss at times... the closeness of sharing a special bond with a man. I know that when the time is right, this will come into my life again and this time it will be RIGHT because I will not accept anything less.
I am so worth it! And so are my daughters... My mate is out there... we just haven't met yet...

Way to stay positive Helene!!!
Happy birthday to your daughter. Children sure grow up fast. The irony though is no matter how old, we always need our parents at one time or another. I'm sure you are thinking about all the great memories of your parents.
Someday you are going to find your soul mate. I wasn't looking and I found Eric. Right now you need to focus on you and make sure you are happy and then everything else will work out!!!
Be patient!!!! Stay positive and enjoy your "Me" time!!!! YES - YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!

Vreeland - present Mark
Tabakin - present
Ron Soussa – present Deane
Driscoll (Alt #1) - present
Jennifer Horowitz - absent Carol Ann Soroko (Alt #2) - present
Anthony Speciale - present
Township Officials: Linda White, Land Use Administrator -
Planning Board Liaison:
Gary Lewis – present
The list has been updated by personal contact calls from
Land Use staff, as well as use of the Water and Sewer bill list. The members thought that there should be a
'contact name' not just the name of the business. Mr. Vreeland, Ms. Soroko, Mr. Soussa and Mr.
Driscoll indicated they would remain after the meeting and fill out names of
some of the companies they knew. Mr.
Cifaretto asked if Mrs. White could look into getting an intern to reach out to
all these companies and get the name of the person any correspondence from EDC
should be directed to. Mrs. White
indicated she would discuss with Mr. Bastone and/or coordinate accordingly.
Members felt general format acceptable but document should
be simplified and corrected to relate to our community. Goals and objectives of this document
reviewed. This document would be
developed more as a way to welcome people coming into the town with a how to
list and contact person to guide them in their development/business needs. It should be developed in such a way to
welcome and ease transition into a community.
Mr. Cifaretto indicated that he did send a letter to the
Township Committee and Planning Board noting the EDC's appreciation of the
rezoning efforts made to help promote economic growth in Towaco. Mr. Lewis said this letter was well received
by Planning Board and appreciated, and thought perhaps in view of the rezoning
along Rt. 46, Old Bloomfield and Changebridge zone giving some relief for
retail development and bulk requirements, perhaps another letter would be in
order. Mr. Cifaretto indicated he would
take care of this and all agreed. Discussion
continued on the development of a press release and article for the Montville
Messenger and newspapers highlighting activities in the community. Mrs. White will start first draft for EDC
membership review. This could be put on
website also, as well as the slide presentation made (which would be slightly
modified before installation). Mr. Lewis
indicated that the EDC may want to also consider letters endorsing some of the
site plans that are on file now at Planning Board for Old Bloomfield Avenue
& Changebridge.
Mr. Lewis prepared a Power Slide presentation that was sent
to Morris County highlighting the activities of
the Township boards and commissions in zoning changes
Mr. Cifaretto thought that the EDC may want to venture into
'marrying services' to reduce economic burdens on a community noting the Board
of Ed's staff and municipal staff. Mrs.
White indicated that Mr. Bastone is already working on a shared services
program and this is something he has actively pursuing. The EDC encouraged shared services.
Mr. Cifaretto regretfully informed the EDC committee that he
will be sending in his letter of resignation from the EDC to the Township
Committee indicating it was a hard decision for him since this community was
important to him, and he has worked hard these past 12 years to make a
difference. He feels he has helped
promote the business climate and development process in the community,
struggling with the decision to resign, ultimately deciding he would do so. All members noted their appreciation and
their feelings of a loss of an dynamic leader at the EDC. Mrs. White indicated that when a chair
resigns, the vice chair takes over until re-organization.
Meeting adjourned unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda White

GDS coding template with technical presentation released
By tf on Feb 15, 2008
We released the GDS coding template under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL) Version 1.0, along with a technical presentation, which can also be delivered as a workshop. It gives an introduction into cluster agent development and then explains the GDS coding template in great detail.
The GDS coding template was developed by several engineers (including Neil Garthwaite, Detlef Ulherr and myself) and is based on experience and enhancements collected during the development of several standard agents in the past 3-4 years, which are also part of Open HA Cluster today.
The GDS coding template and the presentation is available on: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac/GDS-template/
It enables you to focus on the application specifics during custom agent development and allows a rapid development cycle.
If you develop a custom agent by using this GDS coding template, we also encourage you to contribute it back. We will be happy to add an entry to the third party HA agent repository or even sponsor an OpenSolaris project for it.
For any feedback or questions feel free to ask on the ha-clusters-discuss mailing list.

On October 24, 2010, former President Bill Clinton is coming to Detroit for a rally in support of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Virg Bernero.
The rally will be held at Renaissance High School located at 6565 W. Outer Drive in Detroit MI 48235. The rally will be held in the Renaissance High School gymnasium. The doors open at 12:00 pm and the program starts at 12:45 pm and will conclude at 3:00 pm.
The event is free and open to the public.
President Clinton will stand side-by-side with Virg Bernero and Brenda Lawrence is a show of support for the campaign of Virg Bernero and their plan to restore, rebuild, and reinvent Michigan.
Remember to vote on November 2, 2010. The polls are open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm.
If you are utilizing the absent voter ballot option, remember that ballots must be returned to the City Clerk's Office by 8:00 pm on Election Day in order to be counted. Absentee ballots issued on November 1st must be voted on-site and cannot leave the building per State Election Law.
Note, Michigan election law requires voters to present photo identification prior to voting so please remember to bring photo identification will you when you go to the polls to vote. However, should you forget to bring photo identification, you will not be denied the right to vote. Voters without photo identification can sign an affidavit authorizing them to vote.
There will be two sides to the ballot, so remember to vote on the front and back of your ballot.
So don't let the polls numbers, negative ads, or unjust comparisons to past governors of this great state of Michigan keep you from voting. We have to vote and be involved in the process. Democratic nominee Virg Bernero has his own ways and means to restore, rebuild, and reinvent Michigan, so don't compare him to the current governor, Jennifer Granholm who is from the same party; nor should we compare Republican candidate Rick Snyder to John Engler who is from the same party. They only share party identification.
So as the NAACP say..............................................."Take Your Soles To The Polls".

"In the summer of 1991 I was a normal kid. I did normal things. I had friends and a mother who loved me. I was just like you. Until the day my life was stolen. For eighteen years I was a prisoner. I was an object for someone to use and abuse. For eighteen years I was not allowed to speak my own name. I became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years I survived an impossible situation. On August 26, 2009, I took my name back. My name is Jaycee Lee Dugard. I dont think of myself as a victim. I survived. A Stolen Life is my story in my own words, in my own way, exactly as I remember it."
©2011 Jaycee Dugard (P)2011 Simon & Schuster Audio
Jaycee does a terrific job of telling her story. It is heart wrenchingly honest and gives amazing insight into both the worst of human beings and the strongest. She does jump around a bit so you have to follow close and give it your full attention.
I would caution anybody who is not sure about reading something so tragic. There are parts that will make you downright sick. However not all of it is just horrid. If you can get through the tough parts, there are many hopeful parts as well
As far as listening to it versus reading it. I think it is great Jaycee narrated it herself, however she is not a practiced or professional narrator. She has a bit of a lisp that you get used to but can be distracting. If any of these things will distract a listener from the story they should read it instead because it's worth it!
Am nearing 84, have 3 children, 5 grandchildren and 1 half Japanese great grandson all delightful. Enjoy listening & reading
"A Nightmare Memoir"
No one else could have narrated this story. Her brave and mature unburdening of the horrors she lived through are testament to her strength of character. The stark facts were presented unemotionally and concisely but her overwhelming love for her mother and belief she would live through her never ending nightmare shone through like the full moon she so cherished. A future in writing must surely be her destiny.
I was fascinated by this author's story because I lived in the same town where she was held captive during that time, so I am familiar with the area. The book isn't an enjoyable book in the traditional way, but I was curious to hear how she managed during such a terrible ordeal. Her courage is amazing. I finished it in one day and couldn't stop listening. Parts of it are hard to listen to, but certainly worthwhile. It's a good lesson to all of us to never give up hope.
"Book powerful, narration not so much"
I'm reluctant to criticize at all for fear of being beat up by other reviewers who seem to think any negative criticism is criticism against Jaycee herself - but here goes: I almost stopped listening on numerous occasions - her story is incredible on so many levels and I applaud Jaycee for writing it and for sharing her story. I kept reminding myself that if she could endure so many years of what she went through, I could withstand listening to it - it's tough to hear what she had to endure! I also find myself a little more aware and so many of us take for granted our safety in our cars or bedrooms as we're listening to this story - sadly, there are other young children with similar or worse fates than Jaycee. The criticism I have, and it's a strong one, is that I found the narration horrible and distracting from the story - I would highly recommend reading this book instead of listening to it.
"Heartbreaking & Encouraging at the same time!"
What a well written from the heart book. Jaycee must be applauded for the courage to relive her ordeal & the wisdom to put it in writing. Most people would have hidden from the public eye & just left the details to our imaginations. Jaycee is a strong, courageous & very articulate young woman. Her daughters & Mother must be extremely proud of her. Like one of the other reviewers said - it is not a feel good book but it is a must read! Thank you Jaycee for having the courage to share.
"determined to survive, girl to woman"
Jaycee deserves a fulfilled life for surviving this harrowing life in captivity.
She is a natural writer and story teller. I especially liked that she described the sexual part just once and then just referenced it later. The sexual perversity of PG if well documented and well told. Hurrah for her!! I hope she is able to continue writing. She should try her hand at fiction, she has a wealth of background to use. Enjoy your new life Jaycee!
"Real life horror told candidly by the victim"
This is the stunning story of an 18 year ordeal told frankly and directly by a living victim. The courage and intelligence of this young woman is mind-boggling. The crimes committed against her are terrifying and the value of her insights is beyond computation.
Jaycee Dugard was in a difficult situation before she was abducted. Struggling with low self-esteem and a poor view of male caregivers in her home, she was subjected to abduction, rape, slave labor, mental anguish and torture, and brainwashing at the hands of a male predator and his female accomplice.
In great detail, Jaycee explains what she was forced to endure physically and sexually, how the on-set of Stockholm Syndrome was induced by her captors, her two unassisted births in a tent at the ages of 13 and 15. It reads like a Ruth Rendell novel but it is the documented true account of a child abduction.
Unlike Sabine Dardenne, whose account of her abduction, I Choose to Live, was ghost written, Jaycee Dugard, with a 5th grade education, wrote this account herself and reads it in her own voice. It is all the more disturbing for that. Dugard expresses her anger at her father and stepfather, her abductor and his accomplice, and the system that failed her. But her anger, though palpable to any listener, is tempered by her intelligence, her natural sense of the order of things, and compassion, perhaps her greatest virtue. She also expresses her love for her mother, her two daughters, and the animals who were her only companions for the first two years of her captivity. These animals were given and taken away at the whim of her captors.
I am very interested in this social problem and read most of the books written by victims. Nothing compares to listening to Jaycee Dugard's audible record. It is not always sequential. It is not always on topic. But it is the best example of what actually happens to a human brain that has gone through this kind of ordeal. Jaycee is one of the few who live to tell and she has done a spectacular job of bringing her experience back to the surface. If you have a strong stomach and a need or desire to understand stranger abductions, this book is the most important work on the subject to come along to date.
"Fascinating, Just Fascinating"
As a mother of young children I was just fascinated to hear how she cared for her girls under those circumstances and how she views her motherhood now. Definitely a must listen!
"Worried I couldn't get through it..."
I debated for a long time on reading this book. I'm the same age as Jaycee and I have three daughters, one who's 11. I wasn't sure I could handle it. I wanted to hear the story of how she survived her ordeal, but knew it would literally be the thing of my nightmares. Strangely, when I heard that Jaycee herself narrated this audiobook, it was the deciding factor for me. If she could live it, and then write about it sharing all the horrors with the world, and relive it again by narrating it, damn it- I could get through it. I'm glad I did.
The story wanders at times and some people complained about the narrative. But that's what I actually LIKED about it. You're not reading the fictional story of some best selling author. You're hearing the thoughts of the victim, in her own words, the way she thought them: disjointed and repetitive at times, in the prose of a woman who got a 5th grade education and didn't get to grow up in the traditional sense. A lot of the way she speaks is almost childlike. The way she yearns for her mother throughout the story is heartbreaking, like a young girl might have an intense longing for their mother. It almost felt like her mother was the only thing that truly rooted her to her old life. She was the one thing that broke her heart about her situation, the one thing that she kept coming back to with regret and guilt. And you're not disappointed in the end when she's reunited with her mother and the bond they have is unbroken.
A Wonderful World
"A very special book"
This book provides insight into a situation very few of us would ever undertand if it were not for Ms. Duggard. This audio version of the book is the only one I would recommend because how she speaks her story is almost as important as her writing the story. What a wonderful person who has given us the wonderful gift of getting to know her. What an inspirational woman.
Thank you Jaycee, for having the courage to tell your amazing story. It is a story of survival in the most harrowing of circumstances. Not only did she survive but she has gained strength and has grown into a remarkable woman and mother. Hearing her story, read herself is a truly humbling experience and one that will stay with me for a long time. Not because you were a victim, but because of how you have survived.
"Awe inspiring young lady and story"
amazed at her bravery especially when first abducted at age 11. She has a real ability to understand her captors' characters which she uses to make things more bearable for her. Such a strong girl. I was in awe of her. Very sad. My favourite bit was when she befriended a spider in her room because she was so lonely. She used to talk to it and named it Bianca. This brought tears to my eyes.
I was very interested but not sure i could read another abduction book for a while as so sad.
Yes by being completely open and honest.
Nothing i was glad the author read it.
one of the things that came across in her story was her utter selflessness. She really believed that it was best that philip had chosen her so that another child did not have to gonthrough what she had. Amazing!! Would thoroughly recommend people to read this.
"Well narrated for such a traumatic story"
Very well detailed book, very shocking in places. Skipped a lot of chapters in middle, mainly the cat diaries etcetera
Brave lady
"A heartbreaking true story"
I would recommend this book to a friend but maybe as a paperback
I am so pleased the Jaycee got her life back and I give much thought to the fact that she was kept hidden for so many years. She is such a strong girl.
I think that it would have been better to have a professional to do the narrating as I find Jaycee's voice tiring in the long run.
It was worth the listening time but it was also very sad to listen to.
very sad but a little amateurish in the writing and reading of the story. I would have liked to know what sentences Phillip and Nancy recieved
"Human darkness & hidden depths of character"
I watched with interest this story unfold in the media and wondered how anyone could survive such abuse. Moreover the depts of darkness and depravity of the perpetrators is vast.
Reading the book written and read by Jaycee does give some insight into it and the fact that she survived is commendable. I think Jaycee was brave to tell what she did However Im sure this is just the tip of the Iceberg and far more happened that we the public will never be privy to. This is as it should be as certain facts should remain hidden for the protection of Jaycee and her daughters.
I think her mother showed such strength and devotion to her daughter and grandchildren and hope that they can go on now to have as normal a life as they can. I would recommend this book but it is clearly not for everyone and would kindly recommend the potential reader to please read the synopsis before purchasing.
"Such a sad book - It had to be told -"
Jaycee was very brave writing this book, it must have been so difficult for her re living all of those years. It was interesting, but very sad at the same time. There were graphic sexual chapters which bravely she left in the book.
"Upsetting but interesting."
I could'nt believe how this courageous young lady wrote this book, but I admire her for doing it. Due to the fact that the book is read by the author it makes it even more difficult to understand what Jaycee went through. She really goes in to detail and uses very explicit words to describe what she suffered, I will admit some of it was a shock as I was'nt expecting her to do this normally it would just skim over details. It is hard to listen to some parts but it's a great insight in to what this young lady had to go through. I would recommend this book to anyone.
"An amazing story"
I heard of her amazing release on the news a few years ago...the book was quite amazing to listen to her story,horrendous in many parts but must give hope to parents of missing children. Very interesting to listen to

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2012 Article IV Consultation with the Republic of KoreaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 12/110
September 20, 2012
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2012 Article IV Consultation with the Republic of Korea is also available.
On August 27, 2012, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Republic of Korea.1
After a strong rebound in 2010, the Korean economy slowed in 2011 and into 2012 in line with global economic developments. Weaknesses in the global economy, particularly the intensification of the euro area crisis, have led to a widespread slowing of growth momentum. Domestically, high household debt continues to be a drag on private consumption. Growth is therefore expected to moderate, with a small negative output gap expected to remain for the rest of 2012. The economy is projected to grow at about 3 percent in 2012, rebounding to around 4 percent in 2013. The main short-term risk to the outlook is a further escalation of the euro area crisis, which would have a significant impact on Korea.
Inflation rose and remained elevated at around 4 percent in 2011, about 1 percent above the central inflation target set by the Bank of Korea (BOK). This reflected high commodity prices and other transitory supply-side shocks as well as demand-side pressures from the earlier expansion. More recently, in line with the slowing activity and retreating commodity prices, headline inflation has decelerated to 1.5 percent in July 2012, aided by the introduction of government subsidies for child care services. Inflation expectations, however, have remained elevated at close to 3.5 percent. Headline inflation is expected to pick up in the second half of the year, averaging just below 3 percent for the year as a whole.
The external vulnerability of the Korean financial system has diminished considerably since the global financial crisis due to the concerted efforts of the authorities. This reflects higher foreign reserves relative to short-term debt, a reduction in banks' short-term debt, the adoption of macroprudential measures designed to curb banks' reliance on non-core wholesale funding, and the strengthening of the banks' foreign currency liquidity positions.
Banking system indicators remain strong. Domestic banks are well capitalized, with an average capital adequacy ratio of 14 percent at end-2011. The recently introduced regulatory ceiling on loan-to-deposit ratios (of 100 percent) has been met by all domestic commercial banks.
The current macro policy mix combines an accommodative monetary policy and a broadly neutral fiscal stance. The overall balance (excluding social security funds) is expected to record a deficit of about 0.9 percent of GDP in 2012, compared with the 2011 outturn of a 1.1 percent deficit. In response to data showing a weaker-than-expected economic outlook and lower headline inflation, the Ministry of Strategy and Finance adopted a modest stimulus package in June to support the economy while the BOK cut its policy rate by 25 bps in July 2012 after putting it on hold for the past year.
Executive Board Assessment
The Executive Directors commended the authorities for adjusting macroeconomic policies and strengthening the resilience of the financial system in response to global headwinds and financial stress. Growth has decelerated and is projected to remain below potential for 2012, while inflationary pressures have receded. Directors noted that the near-term challenge is to manage the escalating downside risks to the outlook, particularly those related to a possible further intensification of the euro area crisis and its spillover.
Against this background, Directors considered that the current macroeconomic policy mix is appropriate. They supported the front-loading of budget spending in 2012 and the recent fiscal stimulus package, and welcomed the authorities' commitment to implement the budget fully while maintaining the medium-term consolidation objectives. Directors also agreed that monetary policy should continue to be accommodative, but stressed that, in light of the elevated inflation expectations, normalization should resume once the economy strengthens and the negative output gap starts to close.
Directors noted that, in the event of a severe downside scenario, Korea has policy space to respond, especially on the fiscal side, including through limited and temporary use of government managed funds and additional discretionary spending. Korea's flexible exchange rate and ample international reserves would also help cushion against external shocks. Noting that the won is assessed to be moderately undervalued in real effective terms, Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to limit intervention to smoothing exchange rate fluctuations.
Directors welcomed progress in reducing external vulnerabilities in the financial system—external buffers have been strengthened, short-term debt has declined, and banks have reduced their reliance on wholesale funding. They noted nonetheless that the financial system remains subject to large swings in capital flows and funding risks. This calls for continued vigilance and efforts to enhance the effectiveness of macroprudential policies, including through improved coordination among regulatory agencies.
Noting the still high level of household debt, Directors called on the authorities to follow through with their strategy for a "soft landing," especially by strengthening asset classification and provisioning rules for non-bank financial institutions. They welcomed the progress in restructuring insolvent mutual savings banks, and encouraged the authorities to monitor remaining balance sheet weaknesses closely. Directors looked forward to a comprehensive assessment of Korea's financial system in the upcoming FSAP.
Directors underscored the need to address the medium-term challenges of rapid population aging and rising income inequality, and to boost potential growth. They supported the government's plan for a targeted increase in social spending over time, which will likely require a strengthening of revenue performance, mainly by broadening the tax base. They also encouraged further efforts to improve the oversight and governance of state-owned enterprises. Continued labor market reforms should focus on enhancing workforce and creating a more conducive environment for female participation. Directors also recommended boosting service sector productivity by enhancing competition through deregulation, further SME restructuring, and creating a more level playing field for the tradable and nontaxable sectors.

Don't miss out. Stay Informed. Get EcoWatch's Top News of the Day.
Growing up in northern West Virginia in the 1970s, I remember seeing a lot of big white plastic candy canes sticking out of the ground, marking the natural gas pipelines that ran just below the surface. You'd encounter them along streams and fence lines and the backcountry roads that always made me carsick. What I didn't realize as a kid was how much of my family history was intertwined with those hidden gas lines.
My great-great-grandfather, William Dodd, helped lay some of the first pipe across the state, working for a subsidiary of Standard Oil at a time when John D. Rockefeller craved alternatives to oil (not for any environmental reason, but because even back then he was worried we would run out). William's son was an administrator for Hope Gas, and his grandson (my grandfather) was a supervisor at a company extraction plant on the Ohio River. Then my dad spent his career as a corporate executive for Hope's successor, Consolidated Natural Gas, until it was gobbled up by Dominion Resources.
That time line of mergers and name changes—from Hope to Dominion—serves as a rather succinct summary of the role of natural gas in the U.S. economy over the past couple of centuries. First used commercially in 1821 to light lamps in Fredonia, New York—almost four decades before an oil well was drilled in nearby Pennsylvania—gas has nevertheless remained oil's "invisible twin," as David Waples put it in his 2005 book, The Natural Gas Industry in Appalachia. Gas was often seen as an unwanted by-product, frequently burned off because coal was cheaper and oil more versatile.
Fracking, as Wall Street Journal energy reporter Russell Gold writes in The Boom, has changed all that, fundamentally altering both the U.S. economy and the nature of communities across the country. That's because it takes place literally in our backyards. Much of the most recent wave of natural gas drilling is occurring in densely populated states like Pennsylvania, California, Ohio and Illinois. Small towns are now ground zero for the noise, industrial activity and environmental and health concerns associated with fossil fuel extraction.
By last year, roughly one out of 20 Americans lived within a mile of a recently fracked well. "This new proximity between wells and homes is one of the defining features of the new energy landscape," Gold writes. And this change has happened in a minuscule amount of time—less than a decade, in most of the country—driven by technological innovation and Wall Street financing, without the corresponding changes in community awareness and the government safeguards needed to ensure fracking's safety.
For most of his well-researched book, Gold focuses more on the history of hydraulic fracturing and the businessmen behind the boom than on its environmental impact. He's a diligent reporter and able profiler of the mostly dull petroleum engineers and slightly more colorful energy company execs, men like the controversial Aubrey McClendon, who made their fortunes from fracking. But he never quite brings to life the impact on families and communities in the way that Seamus McGraw manages in his more personal and intimate The End of Country, published in 2011.

*well projected with the win of Ohio now. Damn.
Personally I enjoy that Romney has been quoted as saying that the government doesn't create jobs, yet he said he was going to create jobs. Dude was a walking, talking oxymoron. He flipflopped on his views more times than a fish out of water.
Also, the president can't pass any laws by himself. There's these things called the house and senate that have to do it first. And guess who are in control there...oh wait, it's the repubs. People seem to forget that pretty easily. It takes all 3 working together to get things done. It's not all piled on the president. If it were, we'd be a monarchy or a communist state.

There was a large hotel chain that has already said that it will have to shut down if Obama gets re elected.
My toilet only flushes when its a full moon and my kids are behaving.
America needs military no matter who is elected. They are getting rid of soldiers who do not do their jobs correctly, can't pass PT tests, and get into legal trouble.
For now. But it is not unheard of for military members to find themselves on the wrong side of a cutoff and not be able to reenlist, and when you have devoted years of your life and have planned to make that your career its a huge hit. Its absolutely douche of people to pretend it isn't.

I would be completely upset if Romney won.
It is a BIG deal!!
You may not think the President makes a big differences, but he will most likely choose a couple Supreme Court Judges which is a BIG THING!!!
So I can understand why someone who supports and believes in a RED platform would feel miserable right now.
^Yes, but those issues would impact YOUR life. Upholding Women's rights doesn't impact the life of a woman who supports a red platform. Me having an abortion, marrying a woman or taking birth control only effects MY life.

The new Scroll Excel to appear on The Gadget Show
Storage Options, the UK-based technology brand, has launched its fastest ever tablet PC and the country's first tablet under £200 to handle 3D content.
The new Scroll Excel 7" has been added to the extensive Scroll tablet range. It is packed with lots of innovative new features and priced extremely competitively, at just £129.99, making it easily the most cost effective tablet to handle 3D content on the market.
Operating on Android 2.3, the Scroll Excel has the ability to output 3D content directly to a 3D TV, or monitor, by downloading 3D content to the tablet and played back on a big screen through a mini HDMI cable. It will also output 1080p HD video content in the same manner.
The new unit boasts a Cortex A8 1 Ghz processor and 512 MB RAM with 4GB Memory built-in and the ability to expand through a micro SD Card up to 32GB, making it easily the most responsive Scroll ever produced.
With a 16-bit G-sensor, enabling the seven inch screen to rotate 360 degrees, teamed with Flash support and a capacitive touch screen, the Scroll Excel is ideal for internet browsing, social networking, E-Books, online TV and video services.
Paul Evison, marketing manager for Storage Options commented: "We are really proud of the Scroll Excel as this is easily our fastest and most responsive tablet to date. We have been listening to our customers and adding the features that they said they wanted. The user experience when internet browsing, or gaming, is really impressive and has only been seen before on far more expensive products. We also believe that this is the first tablet to market with the ability to output 3D video to a 3D TV. This additional feature should appeal to those who already have a 3D TV but aren't sure where to get their content from. In a way the Scroll Excel bridges the gap between 3D content that's available on the internet and actually getting it onto a 3D screen."
Paul added: "This is now easily the fastest tablet in our range and we think people will be really excited at the opportunity to have a highly responsive 3D tablet at a price that doesn't break the bank."
Storage Options is launching the product in time for Christmas and the new unit has already proved extremely popular with gadget enthusiasts and will be featuring on Channel 5's the Gadget Show on 21st November 2011.
Due to the anticipated high demand for this new product Storage Options is allowing customers to make pre-orders for the units through its website.
Storage Options has also launched the Scroll Essential 7" Tablet, for those happy with a resistive screen and a lower price of £69.99. Compatible with the latest H.246 and MKV video formats, the tablet becomes a 1080p full HD media player allowing HD content to be streamed to a TV. The Scroll Essential comes with 2GB standard memory which can be easily expanded to 32GB with a micro SD card. This unit also operates on Android 2.3 but it has an ARM11 1GHz processor with 256MB DDR2 RAM.
Both of these new tablets will come preloaded with WildTangent's new Android Games Service which allows users to try premium games for free after watching a short video. Users will also be able to rent games for a small cost or buy any of the games they want to keep. Rental prices begin at just 15p for a 24-hour period and all rentals apply toward full game ownership.
As with all Storage Options products, these devices are supplied with clearly-written and annotated manuals and are backed by a local-rate technical support phone line serviced by experts based in the UK.

Event Dates: July 03, 2015 - July 05, 2015
Accordion and fiddle sounds will channel through your feet as they unconsciously tap in slow unison to haunting melodies or quicken to the tunes of jigs and reels. A voice lifts a cappella from the stage telling a story in song of shipwrecks and of legends, ballads of life and love.

Traditional, Irish, Country and Gospel are part of the eclectic offerings. The Penney Folk Dancers, Burin Heritage and Little Bay Heritage Dancers will hold you in time as they swing or weave intricate patterns of the olde dances: the Square, Lancers or Kitty's Rambles, to the tunes of Ed Corcoran and Austin Antle. Step dancers magically lift their feet in seemingly effortless complex footwork, still staying 'close to the floor'. Accordions enchants us with sounds that carry across the ocean to the countries of our origins.
A hundred or so local performers return this year for July 3rd (night only), 4th & 5th(afternoons and evenings). Hear and feel music and songs during opening ceremonies on Friday night plus a fabulous set by "The Coastals" in fond memory of accordian virtuoso John Joe Pidgeon. Seasoned performers with their families come together in the "Passing it On" session on Saturday night. Join in our Set and Step Dancing Workshops on Saturday and Sunday. Learn how to make an Ugly Stick, and how to dance "close to the floor"! Bring a friend for a" toutons and tea mug up" on Saturday night at this indoor, nonalcoholic event.

African girl names(suggestions please)
I really need some girl names with African origin.(someone let me pick a name for them)
I have gone through a lot of Swahili and Afrikaans names but haven't find anything I like except for Aisha, which is too popular for my taste and Bahoti, which causes pronunciation problems. I also like Amani(ka) but not sure if it is THE name.
Maybe some of you ladies are familiar with Afrikaans and/or Swahili names could give me some suggestions? I need to pick a name but I am not really satisfied with Aisha. Any ideas will be great
April 12th, 2013 12:04 PM #3
If your friend and/or the baby in question is black, they probably won't be too keen on an Afrikaans name.
Is your friend/baby Muslim? If not, don't use Aisha [it's Arabic, used widely in the Muslim world including North & West Africa]. Same with Amani, which is a local variant of Iman, "faith."
What part of the continent is your friend interested in?Blade, MD
Allaire * Emmanuelle * Honora * Hyacinthe * Lysandra * Marina * Rosamond * Serena * Sylvie * Thea * Verity / Blaise * Cyprian * Evander * Jules * Laurence * Lucian * Marius * Quentin * Rainier * Silvan

I think Amani/Imani are very pretty but in my head they're very Arabic names, and I probably would be surprised to meet a non-Muslim named either. Is your friend Muslim?
I've spent a lot of time in Uganda and have a lot of friends there, and whilst they tend to have Biblical or virtue names, I met a Ugandan woman who's daughters where Miremba (mee-rehm-bah) and Dembe (dem-bay), both coming from the Luganda word for Peace which I think are just so beautiful.
[I've just realised Mirembe has been suggested already - it's lovely].

Forget what you heard about real estate in South Florida. Boca Raton Residential Real Estate Broker, Ari Arbinder, Owner of Mizner Grande Realty has a sales team that is on pace to sell close to $200 million of luxury real estate this year in Palm Beach County.
To understand how Ari is doing this it helps to understand a little of Ari's background which includes 20 years of experience in residential real estate sales in Boca Raton,Florida, 7 of which were spent as a salesperson for another company.
Ari learned the aspects of the industry and market before opening his own company about 13 years ago. He is dedicated to his business but also finds balance in his personal life. His college education was in Marketing and he uses what he learned as one of his competitive advantages.
He's married to Susan, who has her Doctorate in Psychology and they have two children: Zachery 7, and Jolie, 10. Ari shared," It helps to have a wife who understands people and how to handle them."
Ari's tips on how to be successful in the real estate business include:
1. Take your business seriously and be sure that people who are working inside your company have the right attitudes and help you to maintain a stellar reputation.
2. Be passionate about what you're selling and the area you are working in.
"Boca Raton,Florida is an amazing place to live because it offers so much from an upscale economy with shopping, entertainment, sports from water sports to golf ,great schools and universities, casual to gourmet dining, easy access to transportation arteries and airports, tropical weather, and nearby gambling if that's what you want."
3. Know all of the aspects of your industry and be dedicated to getting better all the time. "I love negotiating," said Ari.
4. Make a high-quality presentation including the right photos, videos, brochures,advertising copy, property folders, and offices. The entrance to Mizner Grande Realty has all of the high-gloss magazines where their listings are featured.
5. Do what it takes to understand your market and your potential customers and be involved in the community. Ari said," I live and breathe real estate and have built up trust from my customers."
6. Find a niche and get known in that niche. Ari shared, "There may be thousands of real estate sales people in this county and we are clearly focusing our efforts on being known as a luxury real estate brokerage. In fact, this is our best year every since 2005."

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Wyoming Wildfires Map 2012 expanded today with new updates on the Fontenelle Fire and the Oil Creek Fire. Officials battling the Wyoming wildfires warned of new advances today on two blazes in the state, the Fontenelle Fire and the Oil Creek Fire, as the Squirrel Creek Fire continues to burn as well.
First, the Oil Creek remains northwest of Newcastle, WY, officials tell news today. The fire which erupted on June 29 has reached more than fifty-eight thousand acres. And despite being battled by five hundred twenty personnel, the blaze is still only forty percent contained. Officials tell news that growth potential is high on the fire amidst difficult terrain.
Evacuations, however, still remain in place for various communities. Officials warn that evacuations "remain in place for Oil Creek, Plum Creek, Big Plum Creek and Skull Creek Roads." Officials also warn that "Level 2 evacuations remain in place along Skull Creek Rd. (14), Elk Grove Trail (7), Ertman Rd. (6) and all residences within the fire perimeter. Level 1 evacuation remains in effect for Osage, Newcastle and along Hwy 16 between Newcastle and Osage." Officials indicate to news that rain this afternoon could improve the battle against the blaze. For a map of the fire, click here.
Second, the Fontenelle Fire is still expanding today. Official tell news that the fire is seventeen miles west of Big Piney. It's currently spreading in Lincoln and Sublette County, firefighters told news today.
Incident Commander Bob Houseman tell news that the fire remains at only sixteen percent containment despite eight hundred personnel on scene. The fire which has burned fifty-seven thousand acres is prompting further structure protection today. Officials warn that crews will "continue structure protection in Middle Piney Housing, Snider Guard Station, Scaler Guard Station, Clear Creek Guard Station and communication site."

On Thursday 19th May online streaming service NOW TV will launch a social media campaign and competition to promote Billions, its latest blockbuster TV series to be added to the service.
The social media campaign, created by WCRS, will be spearheaded by an online game featuring a fake stock market trade with the simple aim to buy as low as you can and sell for the highest profit. With just 15 seconds to play and the market price changing rapidly, players will have to think and react quickly in order to succeed.
Players who manage to make over $1 billion will be entered into a prize draw to win a trip to New York by sharing their score with their Twitter followers. Those who don't quite hit the $1 billion mark can also tweet their score to be entered into a prize draw to win a NOW TV Entertainment Month Pass.
The campaign will run for two weeks on NOW TV's Twitter and Facebook channels and will be promoted with a variety of images and GIFs.
Play the game at: http://www.nowtv.com/promo/makebillions
Caroline McIntosh, Brand Director at NOW TV said: "We're thrilled about the arrival of the new hit show, Billions on NOW TV. The fierce world of high finance can be a hard one to navigate, and as a key theme of the show, we wanted to bring it to life in a fun NOW TV way. The #MakeBillions game allows players to dip their toes into the trading world without any of the risk. Test your skills like the ambitious hedge fund king Bobby Axelrod to see if you can make it in the cut-throat world of trading."
Matt Rhodes, Head of Digital Strategy at WCRS commented: "We wanted to help NOW TV make its mark for the launch of Billions by giving people the chance to play a fun and addictive game without being overly salesy. It's NOW time for people to unleash their inner trader."
Stream episodes of Billions live on Sky Atlantic on Thursdays at 9pm with the NOW TV Entertainment Month Pass, or watch on Catch Up, all for just £6.99 without a contract.

Best Practices for Physical Activity & Nutrition in Child Care
At least 60 minutes of active play everyday
- Provide children with at least 60 minutes of active play, games and movement activities during the day.
- Provide adult-led physical activity to children two or more times per day.
- Provide outdoor active play time year-round two or more times per day totaling at least 60 to 90 minutes.Reference the Child Care Weather Guide to adjust times based on temperatures.
- Never withhold active play time from children who display challenging behavior.
- Ensure that infant's, toddler's and preschooler's movement is not restricted for more than 15 minutes at one time (seated position, swings, exersaucers, etc.). A least restrictive environment is encouraged at all times.
- Rarely or never show television or videos, or use computers or video games (30 minutes per week for educational or physical activity purposes, none for children younger than two).
Create indoor and outdoor active play environments
- Make a wide variety of fixed play equipment available that accommodates the needs of all children.
- Make a large variety of portable play equipment available for children to use at the same time.
- Make outdoor play equipment freely available to all children at all times.
- Outdoor play space should include open, grassy areas and an area for wheeled toys.
- Make indoor play space available for all activities, including physical activity and movement.
Encourage physical activity by what you say and do
- Join children in their active play.
- Provide visible support for physical activity through the use of posters, pictures and displayed books.
Participate in physical education training opportunities
- Participate, and ensure staff participates, in training opportunities on physical activity (above and beyond playground safety) two times per year or more.
- Provide routine physical activity education to support the development of emerging motor skills (tummy time, crawling, walking backwards, running, skipping, jumping, etc.).
- Offer physical activity education opportunities (flyer, newsletter, family fun event, community event, etc.) to parents two times per year or more.
Create and implement a physical activity policy for your program
- Create a written physical activity policy that includes best practices listed above. Routinely follow the policy you create and make it available to staff and parents.
These recommendations support the goals of the Physical Activity in Child Care (PACC) Initiative to increase awareness and implementation of physical activity in child care settings. They are endorsed by the following North Dakota agencies and
childhood programs:
• The North Dakota Department of Health
• North Dakota Child Care Resource & Referral
• Dakota Medical Foundation
• North Dakota Head Start Association
• North Dakota Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics
• Dakota Medical Foundation
• NDSU Extension

I came across the above proposition on mathstackexchange If every nonzero element of $R$ is either a unit or a zero divisor then $R$ contains only finitely many ideals. the link asks a different question but assumes one i ask here. i tried proving the same but i can't. Some hint would be useful. I know basic ring theory. In particular i do not know artinian local rings as someone suggested that it follows easily from the theory of artinian rings.

Hint: Given $a\in R$, consider the chain of ideals $a^n R$.
Another hint: Given $a\in R$, $a$ not a zero divisor, consider the map $I\mapsto aI$ on the set of ideals of $R$.
Let me help you see the connection to Artinian rings. A commutative ring with finitely many ideals is Artinian, so if you prove it for Artinian rings, then you've proven it for rings with finitely many ideals. Before you, people have asked this question for finite rings rather than for rings with finitely many ideals. Some of the solutions will work in your case.
The approach is to examine the descending chain of ideals of the form $x^iR$ for $i\in \Bbb Z^+$, as in this solution. The Artinian condition (or the fact that there are only finitely many ideals, if you want to stick with it) means that this sequence eventually stops, and then you can show that either $x$ is a zero divisor, or $x$ is a unit.
In fact, it's true that every element of a right Artinian ring is a unit or a zero divisor, but the commutative case is considerably easier. It may be a little advanced for you at this point, but if you are interested in digressing someday, I talked about even more general rings with this property at this related question.

Aussie Dollar Goes Bananas
The Aussie dollar hit a post-float (that is, post-1983) high against the U.S. dollar today, reaching $1.1061. The reason: bananas.
It's a bit of a winding path, but let's peel back the mystery.
Australia issued its inflation rate for the second quarter today, which surprised on the high side, 0.9% instead of the 0.7% economist expected. Higher inflation means the Reserve Bank of Australia might become more aggressive in raising interest rates. Higher interest rates would make the Australian dollar more attractive to investors because of the higher yield.
And why did inflation surprise on the high side? Bananas.
Cyclone Yasi in February wiped out the banana crop in Australia's far north, which has led to a massive slippage in supply. Banana prices rocketed 470% in the past six months, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics. The dearness of bananas pushed fruit prices up a demonic 67% over the past year, 27% in the latest quarter alone. Food prices overall rose 1.4%. in the second quarter.
Of course, temporary disruption in the supply of a good, especially bananas, isn't the sort of thing that central banks have much control over. So it could be wishful thinking on the part of investors that more rate increases are now in the cards because of the price of bananas in Sydney.
Helping things along for the Aussie dollar has been the general fall in the U.S. dollar. The most heavily traded currency in the world, it has sunk against nearly all its global counterparts over the past few days, as Washington dithers on a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling and enact long term fiscal discipline.
