Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

|+Daily Value not established.
great vitamins for improving concentration, energy, etc. It has EVERYTHING in it so price seems pretty good considering what you get. As a side effect, i've found this combats my ADD better than any drug ive ever used. I probably just have a vitamin deficiency but it has made life hard for many years. Now i have focus factor and I feel completly in control. I think a lot of us have nagging little problems due to missing some little trace element or 'micronutrient'. If so this will reallly clear the board. I highly recommend this product. As to IHerb, they delivered as ordered and on time...getting to me working away from home in Australia. kudos.

Sun-Sentinel - 11/1/2007 12:00:00 AM
by Jason Parsley
Florida Atlantic University has initiated a pledge to reduce or offset greenhouse gases produced on campus through a campaign called "Mission Green."
"I just think it makes good sense to build green and be sustainable," said Tom Donaudy, university architect and FAU's vice president for facilities. "This is good for the planet and good for the university." Plus, he said, it shows "FAU's commitment to be leaders in this area."
Over the summer FAU President Frank Brogan signed the American College University Presidents Climate Commitment. As part of the commitment a sustainability committee was formed. Azita Dashtaki, co-chair of the committee, said its goal is to measure the amount of carbon the university leaves behind during one year and then come up with a plan within two years on how to make FAU "climate-neutral."
About 20 people are on the committee including three students, Dashtaki said. On Oct. 24, the committee hosted its first Campus Sustainability Day that included presentations, awareness and education about the environment
Donaudy said a big part of the campaign would be education and awareness, not just for the students, but for faculty and staff as well. "It's about making all of us aware of how we use the resources," he said. "Higher education needs to be leaders in this area."
Some of the things that will be looked into by the committee include recycling, building green buildings, planting of trees, and supporting alternative energy sources

Scope of HowTo:
LDAP has to wind through various gears and all have to turn correctly or connections break. This HowTo will help you troubleshoot LDAP errors. This HowTo is known to work with CentOS/RHEL 6.4 with OpenLDAP 2.4
LDAP and Queries
If the LDAP server can't be directly queried, then there's no point at looking at other parts of the system until we've validated first the gears turns correctly here.
Query the LDAP server on both the loopback interface and the interface everything else is trying to speak to the LDAP server:
ldapsearch -h 127.0.0.1 -x -LLL -b 'ou=Users,dc=f1linux,dc=com' -s sub -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=f1linux,dc=com' 'uid=someUser'
ldapsearch -h 10.10.5.3 -x -LLL -b 'ou=Users,dc=f1linux,dc=com' -s sub -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=f1linux,dc=com' 'uid=someUser'
TLS Errors:
Troubleshooting TLS:
Use the OpenSSL client to test connectivity:
openssl s_client -connect someHost.yourCompany.com:636 -tls1
The solution to TLS errors (other than to fix them if they're even correctible) is to add the following to the [PAM] section of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf:
[PAM] ldap_tls_reqcert = never
And restart the sssd daemon:
service sssd restart
The following link is also quite instructive:
SSSD LDAP Connectivity Errors
Calls for authentication wind through the sss LDAP interface.
if you run either:
id someUserName
getent passwd|grep someUserName
or better still, query the sssd daemon directly- NOTE That it's sss and NOT sssd:
getent passwd -s sss someUser
And if nothing comes back from the LDAP query, only one of (2) possibilities exist:
Case 1: Authentication Calls *NOT* winding Through sss LDAP interface:
tail -fn 20 /var/log/secure
Nov 11 19:56:12 someHost login: pam_unix(login:auth): check pass; user unknown Nov 11 19:56:12 someHost login: pam_unix(login:auth): authentication failure; logname=LOGIN uid=0 euid=0 tty=tty1 ruser= rhost= Nov 11 19:56:12 someHost login: pam_succeed_if(login:auth): error retrieving information about user Nov 11 19:56:14 someHost login: FAILED LOGIN 1 FROM (null) FOR , User not known to the underlying authentication module
If the LDAP queries are NOT winding through the sss LDAP interface (case 1), check the following:
Validate the sources of authentication are being consulted by the system are the ones you believe are, in fact, being consulted.
"authconfig --test"
Verify sssd is up and running
service sssd status
/etc/sssd/sssd.conf has (correct) domain information in the [PAM] section and that [SSSD] section specifies "pam" as a source.
Check for a TLS/SSL issue: flip the value of tls in the [PAM] section of /etc/sssd/sssd.conf:
# ldap_id_use_start_tls = True ldap_id_use_start_tls = False
/etc/nsswitch.conf specifies sss as authentication sources for passwd, shadow and
Check PAM Configuration: /etc/pam.d/system-auth that the PAM specifies sss as a source of authentication
Check firewall rules on both the LDAP client and the LDAP server.
Check that the port number is specified correctly: either 389 or 636 for ldaps://
Case 2: Authentication *IS* winding Through sss LDAP Interface:
If errors such as the following are received, it means that authentication is hitting sssd, so it is broken either in where sssd points the query, or the configuration of sssd itself;
tail -fn 20 /var/log/secure Nov 12 19:53:03 someHost sshd[4984]: pam_sss(sshd:auth): received for user houlahanterrence: 9 (Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info)
Therefore you need to determine which gear is broken: sssd or PAM.
Test sssd: If the following returns a correct result, then BOTH the LDAP and sss configurations have been proven.
getent passwd -s sss someUser someUser:*:1162:1162:Some User:/home/someUser:/bin/bash
Test PAM:
Test a local (non-ssh) Login: If a local login (not via ssh) works, then the PAM configuration is also proven. If it doesn't, then your PAM setup is probably duff somewhere.
That only leaves a few places to look:
=> ssh parameters are incorrect somewhere. => Duff connection parameters in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf can also result in the above error message. Do a diff on a working copy of this file from another host if possible and the cause will likely present immediately.
Non-SSSD LDAP Connectivity Errors
LDAP tools rely on the configuration information in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf. Run the following LDAP query:
ldapsearch -x -LLL -b 'ou=Users,dc=f1linux,dc=com' -s sub -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=f1linux,dc=com' 'uid=someUser'
If it returns a result, then the LDAP server can be both found and queried; nothing is broken here.
If the LDAP query fails with the following error after you enter the password:
ldap_result: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)
Then something is duff in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf:
=> Verify the URI is correct. If ldaps:// connectivity is required, authconfig merely specifies just insecure ldap:// as the "URI." => Verify all the other parameters are correct in this file. Assuming the system is correct and there's no firewall of networking issues, problem is likely to be found in /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
Hopefully this HowTo got you out of your LDAP hell. Any errors, omissions or suggested improvements to this document, please advise-

I designed an emblem on the Rockstar Social Club website and published it. It's been a few days (as I know it can take several days to process), but it's not obvious to me how to find this emblem in game. When I go to the clothing store/mod shop my crew emblem just looks like a yellow checkerboard.
How I do to get the emblem I published on my gear?

Fort Hood heroes to be guests at State of the Union
Published: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 2:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 2:14 p.m.
WASHINGTON | Two police officers credited with stopping last year's shooting rampage at Fort Hood will be guests of the first lady during Wednesday's State of the Union speech.
Sgts. Kimberly Munley and Mark Todd will watch President Barack Obama's address with Michelle Obama in a gallery overlooking the House floor. On Nov. 5, the officers opened fire on Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who is accused of killing 13 people in the worst mass murder on a U.S. military base. Munley was wounded in the incident.
According to witnesses, Hasan walked into a processing center at Fort Hood in Texas and opened fire with a pair of handguns. Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

I am trying to set up my server so that more than 2 people can use it at once. I am looking at the RDP-Tcp Properties window in Remote desktop session host configuration, and it won't get higher than a 2.
I have read that I need some sort of licensing, but then it looks like it also include a lot more reconfiguration and turning the server into something else. But I just want to increase the maximum connections to beyond 2, like 5 or 6.
What are my options?

In contrast to sort-first, sort-last parallel rendering has the distinct advantage that the task division for parallel
geometry processing and rasterization is simple, and can easily be incorporated into most visualization systems.
However, the efficient final depth-compositing for polygonal data, or alpha-blending for volume data of partial
rendering results is the key to achieve scalability in sort-last parallel rendering. In this paper, we demonstrate
the efficiency as well as flexibility of the direct send sort-last compositing algorithm, and compare it to existing
approaches, both in a theoretical analysis and in an experimental setting.

If we actually stopped to think about the ingredients that make up the food, makeup, hair products and other essentials of our everyday lives, we might wonder why we're so willing to religiously use them on a daily basis.
Sure, it's more convenient to grab a burger at the drive-thru, and who has the time to research what sodium lauryl sulfate is exactly, and why does it even matter if it's in your shampoo?
The affects of the huge variety of products on market today may not be known for years to come, but, in the meantime, if you're looking to cut a few ingredients out of your everyday routine and stick with something a little more natural, solid perfume may be a good place to start.
from left: L'Occitane Cherry Blossom, Luxe Soild Perfume, LUSH Karma, Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom
Solid perfumes offer a chemical-free option, as most formulas are based with waxes and oils that occur in nature, like soy, coconut and candelilla. The natural fragrance in these perfumes usually comes from essential oils, which don't just smell good, but have aroma-therapeutic benefits as well.
The other good news about solid perfumes is that they're easy to take on-the-go since there's no risk of it leaking in your handbag (just don't leave it in your hot car to melt, of course) and they're easier on clothing since you apply it directly to the pulse points of your skin, rather than spraying.

It's a police siren that cannot be ignored.
Officers in Oklahoma are excited over a new piece of equipment called the "Rumbler," which is a very loud siren.
It is so noisy, in fact, that drivers will be able to feel their seats vibrate from the sound.
Tulsa policemen say even with their lights on and sirens blaring, most drivers don't notice their patrol cars.
But the low tone surprises many drivers, making them look up and pull over.
"I like it," said Tulsa Police Officer Harold Goad.
"I used it this morning and yesterday and in one or two cases it was obvious the rumbler brought the attention to the driver."
Some in the community debate if the Rumbler could pose a health risk.
Area doctors report they didn't know enough about the Rumbler to make a comment, but Tulsa Police say it's like any high tech sound system where the woofer and amplifier make you feel a slight tremor in your body.

The Carroll County gym was rocking Thursday night as the Lady Panthers and the Lady Rebels battled past the 25-point mark in their second game. However, it was not enough to get the home team out of their funk as they lost their sixth straight after winning their season opener, 25-22, 28-26.
Despite the heat and an asthma scare from a runner, the Panther cross country team had a good showing for its first time out this season on Wednesday, Aug. 24, head coach Joe Creager said. The team was smaller than normal because it was a high school-only meet and several key members were missing due to conflicts with soccer.
Sophomores Austin Crowell and Kelsey Ogden both finished in the top 15 in the five-team meet.
The Panthers will be off next week to prepare for the first NCKC meet of the season on Sept. 6 at Gallatin County.
Carroll County was victorious Monday on their home course against border rival Trimble County. The Lady Panthers shot a season low in their 204-251 victory over the Lady Raiders, while the Panthers avenged a previous loss to the Raiders, pulling out a 173-175 win.
Quincy Hogan led the girls' team, shooting a 36. Hannah McMahan shot a 54; Taylor Hayden, 56; Ciara Hamilton, 57; Ashli Childs, 58; and Jadyn Bailey, 66. The Lady Panthers were in action Tuesday at Fairway golf course in Owenton for the All-A Classic. Results were unavailable by press time.
The Lady Panthers defeated the Lady Bearcats twice with back-to-back victories at Fairway Golf Course in Owen County.
On Tuesday Aug. 16, the girls won 212-238, a season low. Quincy Hogan led the team, shooting a 44, followed by Taylor Hayden, 52; Elisha Rabago, 56; and Hannah McMahan, 60. Also competing were Ashli Childs, scoring 63; Ciara Hamilton, 66; and Jadyn Bailey, 67.
On Thursday, Hogan shot a 39, while Hannah McMahan shot a season-low 54. Taylor Hayden shot a 54, followed by Ashli Childs, 62; Ciara Hamilton, 63; and Jadyn Bailey, 65.
Pee Wee Cheer Camp will be held Monday, Aug. 29-Thursday, Sept. 1 from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Carroll County High School cafeteria.
All participants are invited to cheer with the CCHS cheerleaders at the Panther home football game Sept. 2.
Campers must be from three years told through fifth grade. The cost is $25 per participant. Family discounts are available upon request. Please make checks payable to CCHS Cheerleaders.
The Panthers came home from their first road trip of the season with a win Friday night. Carroll (1-0) beat Pendleton County (0-1) 27-14.
"I think overall we did really well," head coach Mike Weedman said. "… Pendleton County was well coached; I think they were a good team."
Carroll struck first with a 1-yard touchdown run by Travis Branum, but missed the point after attempt. Pendleton followed with a 64-yard touchdown run by Sam Harrison and succeeded on the two-point conversion.
Serve-receive and killing errors continued to be an issue for the Lady Panthers as the Lady Dragons of South Oldham put together three long strings of serving points in their 2-0 win Tuesday, Aug. 16 at Carroll.
The boys' soccer team opened the 2011 campaign with a commanding 8-0 win Thursday over conference rival Henry County. This was the first opening-season win for the Panthers in its short history.
"They played really good ball," head coach Ben Crutcher said. "We did a lot of good things, but we've still got a lot to learn."
The Panthers scored their first goal with about 31:45 remaining in the first half when Brandon Stewart seemingly surprised the Wildcat keeper with a goal in the left side of the net.
It should have been a long, knockdown, drag out, three-game fight between Carroll County and their border rival Trimble County, a team that beat them four games to one last season. Instead, the Lady Panthers stumbled out of their corner and into the ring against a team who would show no mercy.

With two Seward County Saints and their coach leading
the way, the Jayhawk Conference has released their 2011 All-Conference
Teams. Jeremy Jones heads the Jayhawk West 1st Team All-Conference
squad after a season in which he led the league in scoring in conference
games. The sophomore from Chicago seemed as easy of a choice as you
could have made after he finished in the top five of three different
statistical categories while helping the Saints to the 2011 Jayhawk West
Conference Crown. Jones was not a one man show for Seward this season
as he finished 4th in the league in assists at over 4.5 per while taking
high percentage shots throughout the season, shooting under 40% in a
game just twice in 16 conference games. Marky Nolen was the top choice
on the 2nd Team All-Conference list after putting together an unheard of
eight straight double-doubles in a 7-1 stretch through the middle part
of the conference schedule. He posted double digit rebounds in 10 of
Seward's 16 conference games while doing the dirty work down low for the
Saints at just 6'2. Nolen was the only player in the Jayhawk West this
season to average a double-double in conference games and was one of
only three players in the region to boast that, along with 6'7 Dennis
Tinnon of KCK and 6'8 Titus Rubles of Independence. Bryan Zollinger was
named the West's Coach of the Year for the second time after leading his
Saints to their second conference title in his four seasons at the helm
for Seward County. The Saints finished a full two games up on the
competition this year in the Jayhawk West standings and have wins this
season over the current #1 team in the country in Missouri State-West
Plains as well as former #1 Hutchinson. (Roy Allen)

More Information
Commissioners gain 2 new faces
Published: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 3:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 6, 2012 at 3:21 p.m.
The New Hanover County Board of Commissioners will see two new members and one familiar one after a close race Tuesday night.
New Hanover Commissioners
43 of 43 precincts reporting
Jonathan Barfield Jr., D
17.2% 47,202
Beth Dawson, R
18.3% 50,295
Derrick Hickey, R
16.9% 46,300
Robert C. Murray, D
13.5% 37,139
Woody White, R
18.7% 51,367
Robert Zapple, D
15.4% 42,376
Democrat Jonathan Barfield was re-elected to the board. Barfield was the only current commissioner running for re-election. He has served on the board since 2008.
"I'm humbled. I'm honored," Barfield said. "When I think about how much I raised for this campaign compared to others, it's not about money. I think people recognize people who are committed to serving them."
Barfield said "finding a solution for our solid waste" is his top priority for his next term.
Republicans and newcomers Woody White and Beth Dawson were also elected to serve on the board.
"I think the voters picked three qualified candidates and I look forward to working with the other two selected to tackle the issues we all face," White said.
Dawson celebrated the win at the county Government Center with her friends and family.
"I am honored that so many have given me their vote," Dawson said. "It's been a very rewarding experience."
Failing to win seats were Democratic candidates Rob Zapple and Robert Murray and Republican Derrick Hickey.
Among the key issues for the new commissioners will be making a final decision on a plan to have Covanta Energy refurbish the county's incinerator, also known as WASTEC, after the current board could not come to an agreement on a proposed contract.
The newly elected commissioners will be sworn in at the board's Dec. 3 meeting.
Election results are unofficial until the canvass on Nov. 16.

College Hockey:St. John's Ends St. Thomas' 11-Game MIAC Win Streak
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Tom Freeman scored 3:38 into overtime, sending much of the crowd of 2,600 at the National Hockey Center into bedlam, and lifting St. John's over archrival St. Thomas, 3-2.
"St. John's and St. Thomas, it's such a great atmosphere," said SJU coach John Harrington. "If they decided to play cards, tons of people would show up and cheer real loud."
Approaching the last minute of the extra period, Freeman took a pass from Ryan Langenbrunner and caromed it off the leg of Tommies goaltender Treye Kettwick for the game-winning goal, which emptied the Johnnies' bench for a celebratory mob at center ice.
"It's a huge rivalry," Freeman said. "Huge buzz all over campus. It felt good to get the game-winner, but it felt even better just to win that game. That's two points against a real tough opponent."
St. Thomas (11-7-0, 8-1-0 MIAC) struck first midway through the first period. On the man-advantage, senior defenseman Adam Meyer scored his second goal in as many games when he wristed the puck high over SJU netminder Adam Hanna, who was out of position following a pass across the crease. The puck dropped behind Hanna and in the net to give the Tommies the first tally of the contest.
St. John's (12-5-3, 7-2-2) got on the board midway through the second half with a goal scored by sophomore Jordan Swan. Taking a pass from behind the net, Swan was just able to poke the puck to the right side of Kettwick to knot the score at 1.
Five minutes later, the Tommies would retake the lead on a semi-breakaway. Nick Pernula jumped off the UST bench and headed right into the play, taking a place and advancing unabated towards Hanna. Pernula moved quickly to Hanna's right and lifted the puck just over his leg for the 2-1 marker.
The tying goal came midway through the third off a fortunate bounce for St. John's. Blake Williams' initial shot bounced hard off the post as Kettwick moved across the crease towards the shot. The carom fell directly to senior assistant captain Scott Bjorklund, who one-timed the rebound into a functionally empty net.
Ryan Langenbrunner had an opportunity to win the game in regulation for St. John's on the man-advantage late in the third, but was unable to shoot the puck on a wide-open net with about three minutes to play.
"We expected that it'd be a close game," said St. Thomas coach Terry Skrypek. "I was a little disappointed that we didn't finish it off, especially given the power-play opportunities that we had. When it was 2-1, we should have been working harder to make it 3-1."
It was a milestone night for several Johnnies players. Hanna made 24 saves for the 47th win of his career, setting a school record for career victories. Bjorklund's third-period tally was his 50th career goal, and Langenbrunner's assist on the game-winner was his 70th career assist, tying him for third all-time in assists for SJU.
"Against a team like St. Thomas, you're going to have shifts every once in a while where you spend the whole time playing defense in your own end," said Harrington. "It's having composure and not having the feeling like things are crumbling around you when you're down there that wins games like these. We didn't get too excited and we took the opportunities we got."
The rivals meet again Friday night at St. Thomas for the second game of the home-and-home series in Mendota Heights, Minn.

It sounds like spring with the Finches singing away in Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park! I just love their song.
The other day a Finch flew up and sat on our deck railing, singing away. They have such a beautiful , springlike song.
I took this photograph of a Finch as I was walking back from town the other day. He was way up in the tree, singing away. It was just beautiful.

JWC TO JOSEPH NEUBERG; 25 November 1849; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18491125-JWC-JN-01; CL 24: 296-297
5 Cheyne Row / Sunday [25 November 1849]
Sun shining at Hampstead yesterday! God bless me!— Are you sure it was the Sun dear Mr Neuberg? We here never saw daylight even—were sewing by candle-light at noon!
You hope my cold is better, I am much obliged to you; but if, instead of sitting there peaceably hoping, you had bestirred yourself to come and see how I was, you would have found me closely confined to the house, and very much in need of being talked to or played chess with—which ever you liked—
As to the M.S1 we had best take it in the fore noon; Mr C is not, in the course of nature, "up stairs till tea time—that state of matters is quite exceptional: besides I get very low in the fore noons, when my solitude is complicated by a cold in my head— If you will come on Tuesday fore noon, and bring that Hampstead Sun with you, perhaps I might get courage enough to walk out with you for half an hour— Your note did not come last night till after post hours from Chelsea—
I have begun this on the wrong side of the paper which must surely portend something!— Perhaps that my mental constitution is breaking up—
Ever faithfully / Yours
Jane Carlyle

When our final KTXS player of the week is on the field and in a groove it seems like he was literally born to play football. This week, Garrett Martin, RB for Wylie High School rushed for 223 yards and 3 TD's propelling his team into playoffs with confidence and securing Wylie's first perfect season since 2001 all while earning the Don Mouser award, given to one outstanding Bulldog every year. It was a fitting goodbye to one of Wylie's favorite sons.
"It's a special honor at Wylie High School. He's a leader by action and by his play. He's a vocal leader on the team and so he's well deserving of that honor" Coach Hugh Sandifer told KTXS of his star back and the school's annual award.
"I never thought I'd be here," Martin explained, "as a sophomore when I started varsity I thought I had so many games to play so it meant a lot to me to have the privilege to play with these guys. They are a great group of guys this year. Playing my last home game was kind of a reality check how it's almost over, it was fun."
Now that they've put a perfect regular season in the books, Wylie is full speed ahead to the playoffs. Garrett Martin is a senior who has post-season experience in his past, coach Sandifer feels that the rest of the team has been well prepared during the regular season.
"Fortunately for us we feel like we've put these kids in some big game situations in district and non-district play to prepare ourselves for these playoffs," Sandifer explained.
"It's extremely special for me. It's actually special for everyone especially the seniors, being their last chance at a State Championship. Experience is a huge deal." Martin's sentiments echoed those of his Coach. It is more than just individual experience that will come into play however, it is the tradition of an entire program.
"You hope that the experience that they've got and the tradition that we have in the playoffs, these kids have been a part of it," Coach Sandifer told KTXS, "Hopefully they understand the realm that we're into now and you just go out there and play to the best of your ability."
For his 223 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Sweetwater Mustangs propelling the Wylie Bulldogs to a sixth perfect season in school history all while becoming the latest recipient of the Don Mouser award, running back Garrett Martin is our Abilene Teachers Federal Credit Union KTXS player of the week.

The younger brother of East Jessamine Middle School is rising above the horizon along Union Mill Road.
The shell of Jessamine County school district's new elementary school, yet to be named and set to open for the start of school next year, is clearly marked as most of the walls and roof are up.
Construction has gone quickly with fair weather over the summer and fall and some warm days as Thanksgiving approaches.
"We're still on schedule with the original schedule, maybe even just a little ahead of it," assistant superintendent Jimmy Adams said. "When you have 60-degree days in November, it doesn't hurt."
The school board considered name options including East Jessamine Elementary, Union Mill Elementary and Sulphur Well Elementary in October 2011 but decided to leave the task of naming the school to the new administration and the new principal. Applicants for that position are currently being considered.
"We're looking at having that person named by the end of December so they're coming on board to help with a lot of decisions starting in January," Adams said.
The focal point of the school's design is the library, which sits in the center of the classroom hallway and faces the pastoral landscape of eastern Jessamine County.
"Every day, every student will at least walk past the library but also have access to the library on their way to the classroom, on their way to the cafeteria," Adams said. "Anywhere you go in that building, you're going to pass by that library, and the architectural design of it is just beautiful."
Classroom heating and air-conditioning units are above the ceiling, accessible on a second-floor catwalk that runs the length of the classroom. Adams said that feature eliminates the chance that maintenance could disturb classroom time.
"That catwalk makes it really nice, because if a unit goes out for a particular classroom, a repair person doesn't have to go into that classroom to work on it," he said. "They'll be able to work on it and never be seen or noticed by the students or the teacher."
The new school has a $13 million price tag and has not had many "surprises" thus far in construction, Adams said. It will be the district's sixth elementary school and will come on board along with a comprehensive redistricting for elementary schools next fall.
Construction was expedited by the decision to lay the concrete pad for the school in 2009 with leftover materials from the construction of East Jessamine Middle next door. Adams credited the quick work on the project so far to the architects from Sherman Carter Barnhart and site superintendent Steve Wilson from contractor D.W. Wilburn.
The majority of the construction should be completed about a month before school starts in August 2013, Adams said, with just a few last items to be checked off at that point.
"We'll probably still be doing a lot of punch-list items leading up to it, but we'll be getting furniture and all in and have it ready to go so that when teachers show up and students show up, we're ready to have school," Adams said.

why do my muffins taste metallic?
Once again, it is not you but your baking powder sabotaging your awesome kitchen prowess. That slightly bitter, kinda "tinny" flavor you often experience when biting into a muffin, biscuit or scone is the result of using a baking powder in high quantities — as is needed for these quick-rise treats — with aluminum in it. Fortunately, aluminum-free brands such as Rumford or Bob's Red Mill are easy to find, and are no more expensive. Or, you can just go rogue and make your own.

In Harris's early years, not many would have predicted a law enforcement career for her. Born in Oakland in 1964 to graduate students active in the civil rights movement, Harris was indoctrinated at an early age. "I would take her along to a march in her stroller,'' says her mother, Shyamala Harris, PhD, now a noted expert in breast biology at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory at the University of California. "When we chanted 'What do we want?' she would say 'Fweedom!'" After her parents divorced (her father became an economist and professor at Stanford), Kamala and her sister, Maya, were raised by their adventurous, iconoclastic mother. By her own description, Dr. Harris was a demanding parent. "Kamala will say, 'I grew up with a mother to whom I had to justify every single thing,'" she says.
Her mother was also determined to make her daughters comfortable in any environment, whether in their thriving black community in Berkeley or among Shyamala's family in India. Unlike Obama, who has written of his biracial coming-of-age struggle, Harris appears to have suffered little self-doubt. "I grew up as an African-American woman with an experience that was very rich and nurturing," she says. "It's more difficult for other people to figure out than it is for me," she adds, laughing. "This is my life.''
As a student at historically black Howard University in Washington, D.C., Harris spent weekends protesting apartheid and then got a taste of working inside the political system for former California Senator Alan Cranston and pollster Peter Hart. Back in San Francisco, she became president of the black law students association at Hastings College of Law and volunteered for Jesse Jackson's 1988 campaign.
Harris's background forms the perfect resume; for a public defender or perhaps an ACLU attorney, which is exactly the career path that her younger sister chose. Harris, instead, took a job as a deputy district attorney in Alameda County, where she built a reputation as a solid, no-nonsense prosecutor on one of the toughest beats, sex crimes against children. At the same time, she made the gossip pages as the girlfriend of former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, then speaker of the California Assembly. (The two broke up but remain friends.) In 1998, Harris crossed the bay and went to work in the city for DA Terence Hallinan. An almost stereotypical San Francisco character, Hallinan wanted to legalize prostitution and medical marijuana and was a gleeful foe of the police force. He once indicted the chief in a bizarre scandal that started when three off-duty officers scuffled with pedestrians over a bag of Mexican food, a fiasco dubbed Fajita-gate by the San Francisco Chronicle.
Harris quit her job in disgust after two years and went to work for the city attorney, Louise Renne. In 2003, at 39, she ran for DA against Hallinan, mocking her former boss's claim of being America's most progressive district attorney and portraying him as a lawless lefty. One of her mailers, featuring a chalk outline from a crime scene, was titled An Outline for Disaster, suggesting that Hallinan endangered the city. She trounced him.
But the new DA was barely installed in office when she stumbled, badly. On the night before Easter in 2004, a young undercover officer was shot to death in one of the roughest city neighborhoods. Isaac Espinoza, 29, was a much-loved figure in the police department. But within days, and without consulting either the police chief or the slain officer's family, Harris decided — and announced — that she wouldn't seek the death penalty against his accused killer. True, she had opposed capital punishment in her campaign. And the 21-year-old defendant had no prior adult convictions, making him an unlikely candidate for execution, especially with a San Francisco jury. But police officers were outraged. Even some of Harris's allies took aim.

30 SHADES OF ZOMBIE: Angela Scott "I'll Take the Slow Moving Zombie, Please" & Enter to Win WANTED: DEAD OR UNDEAD & SURVIVOR ROUNDUP (ends 30/11/12)
I'll Take the Slow Moving Zombie, Please
Slow vs. fast moving zombies is a debate that has been going on ever since the fast zombie started making their appearance in movies like Dawn of the Dead and Resident Evil. Some like the idea of a full-on chase scene with jaw-crunching zombies that have sprinting styles that could easily go head-to-head with any Olympic gold medalist long distance runner.
I, for one, say no. I would not enjoy that one bit.
I'm perfectly aware that my ability to survive in a zombie apocalyptic world, even with slow moving zombies, is slim. (Terrifying situations cause me to become a deer in headlights. I know this. I understand this). But to toss in some running zombies, as if zombies themselves aren't scary enough, and my chance of survival goes from slim to not happening at all.
My fingers want to cling to the slim chance. Let's not take that away.
And, running sucks. I've tried it, even ran a race, but I don't want to ever do that again. I'm a fan of breathing and running makes breathing hard. With slow zombies, I could walk REAL fast, breath just fine, and possibly be okay. And "possibly" is so much better than "not gonna happen."
All that aside, zombies represent death. It's that one thing we are all afraid of and are doing our best to keep at bay for as long as humanly possible. Every day we live, is one day that death creeps a little closer. That's scary.
The slow build-up of something bad and dark progressively coming closer and closer is also incredibly terrifying. It's there. It's coming. It's just a matter of time. Anticipation alone gets the heart pumping and the adrenaline going. With fast zombies, BOOM, they're there in your face, no build up. Where's the fun in that?
With slow zombies, they're also easier and much more fun and creative ways to kill them. That's a plus right there. Baseball bats, lawnmowers, blow torches, saws, pitchforks, big knives, a knitting needle, pointy fence posts, grandma's knick-knacks, etc…The opportunities are endless. But with a fast zombie…you better have a gun. A big gun. That's it. There's no wiggle room there. If you don't have a big gun, then a fast zombie will be munching on your face quicker than you'd like.
Slow zombies: you can run them over with your car and get away.
Fast zombies: will surround your vehicle before you can turn the key and then they will eat you. Eat you.
Slow zombies: You need a horde of them to actually kill you. On their own, they're manageable.
Fast zombies: All you need is one to kill you. And a horde of fast moving zombies…. ha,ha,ha, you're screwed. No point in wasting bullets. Just lie down and get it over with.
I guess it really just comes down to this: hope. With hordes of slow moving, progressively getting closer zombies there is still hope. And where there is hope people will do everything within their ability to survive. We can argue the fine points of dead muscle mass and rotting bodies parts making it near impossible for the zombie to be a runner, but that would be mute.
It's all about hope. With slow zombies we have hope, we have a chance, however slim, and we have possibility. Everyone wants a chance at survival. Besides, slow zombies are bad enough. Why in the world would we ever want to speed that up?
Angela Scott hears voices. Tiny fictional people sit on her shoulders and whisper their stories in her ear. Instead of medicating herself, she decided to pick up a pen, write down everything those voices tell me, and turn it into a book. She's not crazy. She's an author. For the most part, she writes contemporary Young Adult novels. However, through a writing exercise that spiraled out of control, she found herself writing about zombies terrorizing the Wild Wild West–and loving it. Her zombies don't sparkle, and they definitely don't cuddle. At least, she wouldn't suggest it. She lives on the benches of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains with two lovely children, one teenager, and a very patient husband. She graduated from Utah State University with a B.A. degree in English, not because of her love for the written word, but because it was the only major that didn't require math. She can't spell, and grammar is her arch nemesis. But they gave her the degree, and there are no take backs. (Photo © Scott Cornford)
PUBLISHER: Evolved Publishing | RELEASE DATE: 2012 | BUY IT: Amazon UK / Amazon US
Summary for Survivor Roundup – Red always knew she would have to face the man who nearly destroyed her. She just didn't figure it would happen so soon… With the plague sweeping across the nation, destroying many and turning others into walking corpses, survivors head West in search of a chosen land, a place designed to keep the infected out, while sealing survivors inside.
In theory, the idea seems the only way to keep humanity alive. In practice, it doesn't matter whether a person is on the inside or the out—there is no humanity… And even though John Gatherum hunted her down and instigated their reunion, Red's no longer the passive girl he once manipulated. This time, she has a hidden agenda of her own. Kill him. Save her family. Save herself.

Football: Weekly Picks
Not only that, but since back-to-back home shockers over Florida State and Boston College, NC State has lost six consecutive games SU.
Guys, the Wolfpack have pulled a collective "No Mas" on this season, while ECU needs a victory to finish with a winning season for the first time in five years. Now, you tell me, which team is going to come out more motivated?
Grab the points with the Pirates; who will probably pull off the outright win.
Prediction: East Carolina
Mississippi State +3 at MississippiGuys, I knew I was going to issue Mississippi State 12 hours before the odds were posted on this contest. The reason? Ole Miss is going to come into this game flatter than a four-day-old opened bottle of beer. I know this because last Saturday night, the Rebels went to LSU as a 28.5-point underdog and laid it all on the line against the Tigers. They took a 20-7 lead into the fourth quarter and frittered the whole thing away, losing 23-20 in overtime. To add insult to injury, when LSU scored a touchdown to tie the game with 14 seconds left in regulation, the Tigers missed the game-winning extra point, giving Ole Miss new life in overtime. And yet, the Rebels still couldn't take advantage.
Listen, I've watched enough college football in my lifetime to realize those kinds of losses are nearly impossible to bounce back from; especially when you reach the end of a season, and especially when those losses are endured by a 3-8 team like Ole Miss. Do you realize that the Rebels' lone victory in the last six weeks came against I-AA Northwestern State, while their only other wins came against lowly Memphis and Vanderbilt, two teams that have a combined 5-18 record?
Now, while Ole Miss has hit the skids, Mississippi State is playing its best football of the season. Last week, I gave out the Bulldogs as a free pick and they played fifth-ranked Arkansas tough before fading late, losing 28-14 as a 15-point underdog in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated. Prior to that, Mississippi State went to Alabama and hammered the Crimson Tide 24-16 after suffering a pair of three-point losses to Kentucky at home and at Georgia.
Bottom line: Both teams are 3-8 overall and 5-2 ATS in their last seven, but in this case, the records don't tell the entire story. Mississippi State, a team that crushed the Rebels 35-14 as a 1.5-point underdog last year, is on the rise, while Ole Miss is heading south.
Prediction: Mississippi State

In "Planes: Fire & Rescue," when Dusty (voiced by Dane Cook) finds out he has a damaged engine and might not race ever again, he volunteers to help out a crew of veteran fire and rescue helicopters and vehicles to battle some wildfire at a national park. Examiner.com had to chance to speak one of the many voices from the movie, Erik Estrada, about the initial idea for his role and learning Spanish as an adult.
I read through the production notes that helped bring the "ChiPS/Chops" element to this film. Was it your idea initially or was it someone else's idea to bring you on?
Erik Estrada: It was Disney's idea. There's a character named Blade Ranger (voiced by Ed Harris) and he has a partner named Nick "Loop'N" Lopez because I do these incredible in my helicopter. I used to do it with the motorcycle on "Chips" and now I do it as a helicopter. The whole cast of the animation is watching a television show because they are telling the story of Blade Ranger, who is now a firefighter, but he was on a television series and his co-star was me. My character is basically the same thing as Ponch and this what they wanted to do. I saw the screening of it at DisneyToons Studios, and when that came on and I saw it I was blown away. For me it was like a flashback, and suddenly it hit me that "Chips" had such an impact. When I was doing "Chips," I was just happy to have a job and get my mother out of Harlem. That's all I cared about was taking care of her. They created that segment for the movie, threw it in and called me to see if I was interested. It was cool and it was a lot of fun, but I've done animation before. I did "Family Guy" and a I had series for three years on Adult Swim called "Sealab 2021," in which I played Marco.
I read that you've learned Spanish as an adult. I wanted to know how come you didn't learn it as a child and what motivated you to learn as an adult?
Estrada: I was born in Harlem Hospital and raised in Spanish Harlem. At the age of five, I was on the street. My first job was selling Piraguas with my grandfather, then I shined shoes and because of that era (1950′s and 1960′s), I had to deal in English all the time. My mother kicked my father out when I was four because he was a heroin addict. My mom started dating a cop later on, and that's where my love for cops came from. That's why I'm a cop today. I'm actually an ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) investigator captain in Virginia. My goal is to have internet safety education put in every school across this country. I want to get it mandated. I've already got nineteen schools participating and I'm working on many more. I'm also the spokesperson for the Safe Surfin' Foundation. All my life, I was interested in being a cop. Anyways, I was in Mexico doing a movie called "Juana la Cubana," but I didn't know Spanish and I didn't even read in Spanish, but they were dubbing me in Spanish. The producer of "Dos Mujeres Un Camino" came to me and told me he wanted me for the role. I said, "Thank you, but I think I am going to have to turn it down. I don't know how to read or speak Spanish." He said, "Don't worry about it. We will make it that you were born in San Diego and then came to Mexico." I thought they meant that I would be speaking in Spanglish and I said I was agreeable with that. A couple of weeks later, I get the script and I couldn't read it. It was entirely in Spanish. I went to Berlitz and grabbed me a beautiful woman teacher and we knocked it out for seven days straight for three weeks.
Isn't it true that you signed up for a hundred episodes and it ended being 400-something episodes?
Estrada: 457. They got crazy. When we did the first hundred and got to 95 and 96, I said, "Four more and I'm out of here." They said they wanted to do 160 more and I agreed to do more under certain terms of condition.
How long did it take to do your voiceover?
Estrada: The nice thing about animation is you don't need to shave or shower. You go in, get in a booth with your mic and monitor, and you say the line how they want you to say it. You just have to be open to reacting and be a great listener.
Do they animate it after you do the voiceover?
Estrada: No. It is already animated. When I did the other series, I use to do it by phone. I never met anybody in the cast during the three years of I was doing "Sealab 2021." Also, there was nothing to look at when I was reading my lines. Disney already knows what they want and they do the animation first and bring in possible voices for that particular character. It was great. We did a screening with the entire cast and crew and they loved it. I love the finished product. The movie is very exciting. It's got a lot of color. I remember one distinct scene where it really reached me. It was a high shot where they're bringing in a ranger who got hurt, and I just felt "Wow, this guy is hurt.' The danger of the fire is very exciting. It's an exciting movie overall, and it's a lot of fun. I'm glad to be in it.
"Planes: Fire & Rescue" is now playing in South Florida theaters.

Four Brookings Elks Club officers had the toughest job in town Saturday.
Jack O'Connor, Garry Downing, Butch Herron and Matt Bristow had to look over dozens of costumed youngsters who showed up for the club's annual Halloween party and choose winners for the costume contests.
"It was damn tough," O'Connor said. "Every one of them should have won a prize, but it's kind of hard."
"I've judged these contests for the last four years," Downing added. "They're always tough."
The room was filled with kids of all sizes dressed up in Halloween garb. The costumes ranged from adorable to creepy.
The contests were divided into age categories.
Adrianah Cree Beldi took off with the prize in the under-a-year-old category with her butterfly costume.
Makiah Smith and Cody Testa nabbed first and second place in the 0-5 category.
Smith was packaged to order in her gift costume; she was wearing a decorated box with her head, arms and legs sticking out.
Testa was dressed up as a fuzzy black spider.
Hailey Steineke's werewolf outfit won first place in the 6-9 age group. Her wolf mask could have been borrowed from the wardrobe of a Stephen King movie.
Josh Giguiere grabbed second place in his grim reaper costume. He wore a skull mask with a hand-held pump that, when squeezed, sent a stream of oozing red liquid streaming down his bony countenance.
Aaron Appleton went all-out in his soldier clothes; his face covered with camouflage paint. His costume pulled in first place in the 10-13-year-old category.
Brittani Fugate's rendition of the walking dead got second place.
All costumed critters were then invited to participate in an overall contest with no age category.
Six-year-old Jessica Spicer was chosen for second place with her princess outfit.
Shane Smith won first place overall with his skeleton costume. Smith's ensemble included a scary mask and long bony fingers.
Children that did not win costume contests had plenty of other ways to take home prizes.
Local businesses ensured the party's success by donating gifts, candy, money and coupons.
Chetco Federal Credit Union donated four savings bonds worth $50 each.
The bonds were given away by ticket drawing. Kids earned tickets by playing games or participating in the coloring contest. Tickets were also handed out at the door.
Event chairman Gloria Osborne said there were plenty of prizes to give away, including candy, certificates and gift baskets.
"We had a lot of the prizes by drawing so all the kids could have a chance," she said.
"I don't think any child walked away empty-handed."

This taut noir classic—Robert Siodmak's exemplary adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway short story—opens with hit men gunning down Lancaster's stoically accepting target. A fractured puzzle of flashbacks reveals the backstory of the killing in this stylishly hard-edged tale of robbery, unrequited love, and betrayal." —UCLA Television Film & Archive

Beans Boost Health in Type 2 Diabetes
Lower glycemic index, better health?
To study the potential health benefits of adding beans into the diet, researchers randomly selected 121 adults with type 2 diabetes to follow a low-glycemic-index diet that included one cup of legumes per day, or a high wheat fiber diet, which significantly increased insoluble fiber intake.
The study participants followed the diets for three months, and completed food records to ensure they met the goals of their assigned eating plan. Researchers collected blood samples, blood pressure readings, weight, and waist circumference measurements approximately every two weeks during the study. At the end of the study, participants were asked to rate gastrointestinal symptoms, such as abdominal pain, bloating, and gas.
A marker of blood sugar control (hemoglobin A1C), systolic blood pressure (the top number), and their calculated coronary heart disease risk score all decreased in the low-glycemic-index, high-legume group compared with people on the high-wheat-fiber diet. There were no differences in gastrointestinal symptoms between the legume and wheat fiber groups.
Beans for better well-being
This trial suggests legumes, more so than wheat fiber, can improve markers of blood sugar control, blood pressure, and coronary heart disease risk. The study did not consider how legumes affect diabetes and heart disease directly—the researchers didn't follow participants long enough to see how legumes might affect risk of heart attack or diabetes complications, for example. Still, the results suggest eating more beans, chickpeas, and lentils may enhance metabolic and cardiovascular health in people with type 2 diabetes.
Our tips can help you add more legumes into your eating plan, which Dr. David Jenkins, lead author on the study notes, "will help you keep your blood pressure down and your blood glucose under control, and help you keep your cholesterol down."
- Start slowly. To minimize gas and other digestive woes, start with a few spoonfuls of beans per day, sprinkled on salad or added to soups. As your body adapts, add more beans over time. Many people who have trouble eating beans simply eat too many at one time, which can overwhelm the digestive system.
- Rinse well. When using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly in a colander, to remove the liquid and excess starch. This may cut down on gas for many people. It can also help reduce the amount of sodium in the beans (be sure to look for reduced sodium canned beans as well).
- Consider your needs. For most healthy people, there are no downsides to eating more legumes, but if you have digestive issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease, talk to a knowledgeable doctor or dietitian about whether to add beans safely into your eating plan.
- Plan ahead. Dried beans are very inexpensive, making them an appealing source of protein, but plan ahead to make the most of them. Soak overnight, or during the day while at work, so they are ready for cooking the following evening.

New Stock Coverage: Dog Days Ahead at Central Garden & Pet?
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
planet's biggest party starts today,
but Wall Street was more like a wake yesterday, with stocks dropping amid iffy economic data and renewed concerns regarding Europe.
Ann Inc.
(ANN), which
literally forces its models to bid farewell to arms
, slid 7.93% but there were thumbs up for
ARM Holdings
(ARMH), which finished at a fresh high and scored another analyst upgrade this morning.
In a week when the BRIC coiner called it quits,
Manchester United
(MANU) fanatic
can certainly afford to retire with that stock surging 4.86% to a post-IPO peak. Speaking of soccer, François Hollande and Angela Merkel just attended a "friendly" match between France and Germany. Present in the crowd, and booed mercilessly, was ex-German goalkeeper Harald Schumacher, who in 1982
knocked out two teeth and cracked three ribs of a French opponent
in a brutal assault. With such displays of sporting harmony, it's no wonder that the European Union is in such trouble. Today in Belgium — where
American flags are the one growth industry, apparently
— a two-day summit concludes, for any Brussels bureaucrats unfortunate enough to be there rather than in Rio.
A relatively light week on the economic calendar comes to a close with December wholesale inventories due to tick up at 10:00 a.m. Eastern. By contrast, it's been another frenzied five days for corporate earnings announcements, with some 17% of the
(^GSPC) releasing results. Today's important announcements include
AOL Inc.
Beacon Roofing Supply
Buckeye Partners
CBOE Holdings
(MCO), and
Nissan Motor
(CELG): JMP Securities starts the stock at Outperform.
Central Garden & Pet
(NASDAQ:CENT): Shares are assigned a lukewarm Neutral at SunTrust, whose price target is $10.
DSW Inc.
(DSW): The designer shoe seller is a started with a Buy at Sterne Agee. Its price objective is $75.
Motorola Solutions
(MSI): Wells Fargo establishes Outperform rated research, with a price objective in the range of $68 to $70.
VeriFone Systems
(PAY): The stock is picked up with a Hold at Jefferies.
Zebra Technologies
(ZBRA): Wells has a fresh Market Perform on ZBRA.
