The current rout in oil prices threatens a profound shift in the geopolitical fortunes of major energy-producing countries. Many are already experiencing economic and political turmoil, and the longer low prices persist, the more devastating the consequences are likely to be.
The Obama administration put forth a five-year plan Tuesday that would allow oil and gas drilling in a giant area off the East Coast.
Iraq's former oil minister, Ibrahim Bahr al-Ulum, warned Thursday that the so-called Islamic State terrorist organization could hit the Iraqi oil fields in the south around Basra.

Here we go again. A sudden surge in the price of gasoline and heating oil is followed by reported expressions of frustrated despair by hard-pressed consumers in the midst of silence from the oil companies and abdication of responsibility by the elected and appointed officials of federal and state governments.
While you were paying record prices at the pump in 2012, the cash was flowing to oil companies such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron, according to recently released earning reports.
Advisers to the president had promised that Barack Obama would be more aggressive and passionate in the second debate against Mitt Romney than he had been in the first. And he was. By miles.
Here's some not-so-good news for motorists in the Golden State at the beginning of the workweek: Gas prices in California have soared to record levels, rising 50 cents in the span of seven days. But relief may soon be on the way.
For the last several days I've been deluged with calls from my inside-the-beltway friends telling me "Romney's dead." Hold it. Rumors of Romney's demise are premature for at least four reasons:

The world still harbors large reserves of petroleum, but they are of the hard-to-reach, hard-to-refine, "tough oil" variety that will be more costly to extract, refine and buy at the pump.

Mitt Romney swipes Rick Santorum with his Senate record. President Obama proposes subsidizing energy innovators as gas shoots up 12 cents a gallon in one week. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton offers a show of support for Assad's opponents, and Greece signs loan papers.

The stock market is revisiting last week's extreme volatility, with the Dow Jones average plummeting 471 points in the first two hours of trading Thursday. (more) Update: At the closing bell, the Dow was down about 419 points, 3.7 percent, to roughly 10,990.
Our favorite senator has had enough of "Wall Street speculators" jacking up oil prices. Here he tells radio host Ian Masters about his legislative attack plan.

With gas prices still rising, House Speaker John Boehner has broken from traditional GOP rhetoric to voice his support for ending tax breaks to the oil industry.

Just before he skedaddled out of the White House, President Bush worked out a scheme to make millions of acres of the American coast available for offshore drilling, but on Tuesday, President Obama's interior secretary, Ken Salazar, brought those plans to a halt, at least for the next six months.

Congressional Democrats seemed to have turned in their spine—yet again—Tuesday when they announced they would allow the 26-year-old ban on offshore drilling to expire, a resounding sellout to the rhetoric of the McCain campaign and a reactionary move aimed at accommodating the crisis-ridden financial markets.
"Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?" asks an ominous narrator as a distant crowd chants "Obama! Obama! Obama!" and a gas pump is juxtaposed with Sen. Barack Obama's picture. Onion parody? YouTube mash-up? No, this is the latest television ad from the McCain campaign, and it has host and guest on "Countdown With Keith Olbermann" cracking up.
Fine, so the headline was a bit much, but this was one time we didn't mind saying venti instead of large: Turns out that even the top bananas at Starbucks finally realized that they've overextended themselves, and due to the sagging economy, they're closing 600 U.S. retail locations. Great—so that means there'll be only eight Starbucks stores on every block instead of nine.
The oil company notched an annual profit of $39.5 billion, the largest ever by a U.S. company. You can leave your Ph.D. at home when connecting the dots between this and the Iraq war.
From crooksandliars.com
Chris Matthews nails the White House communications director on his claim that no one in the administration promised that gas prices would go down after the invasion of Iraq.
Meanwhile, crude prices are holding above $72—a record high.
As gas prices soar across the nation, Exxon's board paid its recently-retired chairman, Lee R. Raymond, over $686 million since 1993—with $400 million of that coming in his final year with the company.
A compensation payout like that got N.Y. Stock Exchange Chairman Richard Grasso sued.

At Design, Dining + Diapers, Taryn found these sweaters on a 50% clearance at…wait for it…Goodwill. At a price she couldn't refuse, Taryn took them home for a cold winter's night of crafting.
And that night of crafting produced a cozy sweater wreath. For the base of the sweater, Taryn used a large straw wreath. She cut one of the sweaters into wide strips, and wrapped those around the wreath form. She made a bow from the collar of the sweater. The finished wreath isn't just lovely, it's extremely versatile. It works not just for Christmas, but for all of the winter holidays. Great job, Taryn!
See the tutorial for this sweater wreath at Design, Dining + Diapers.

Nymphaea tetragona is a variety of pygmy water lily, and is therefore ideally suited to growing in a small pond or even a container feature, as it will thrive in water as shallow as 15cm deep. It bears small, slightly fragrant, cup-shaped white (sometimes red or purple) flowers from June to September. The shade cast by the leaves helps to check the spread of the algae, and also provides shelter for aquatic insects and larvae, such as tadpoles.
For best results grow Nymphaea tetragona in still water – avoid planting near a water fountain or pump.

If you love colorful dinnerware, no doubt you already know about Fiesta. And if you don't, feast your eyes on this spectrum of dishes and get back to us. Anyway, if you can't justify adding another Fiesta color to your collection, you can still fit a Fiesta 75th Anniversary Mini Disc Pitcher ($18 each) into your crammed cabinets. At 3¼" tall, it's a scaled down version of their iconic pitcher. We just wish they'd come a leettle bit smaller so we could hang one from our Christmas tree.
They do have mini "plate" Christmas ornaments! They come out with a new one every year.

Front Page News
Season 3, Episode 8
Previous Episode
Next Episode
Cheese at Uniqua's House
Dave Palmer
Scott Gray
Evan Lurie and Douglas Wieselman
Front Page News is an episode of The Backyardigans from the third season.
Characters Present
Tasha is the photographer for Bigopolis City News, but also has a secret: she's SuperSnap, super fast superhero and Bigopolis' newest hero! The city is under attack by a giant robot and her boss, Pablo, the newspaper editor, asks her to get a picture of it and SuperSnap for the front page, but she's so busy helping out resident superheroes Captain Bubble and Bug Girl defeat the robot that she forgets to get a photo of herself. Can she help Captain Bubble and Bug Girl, and get a front page picture of herself for Pablo?
Tasha is in the backyard wearing a blue hat with a red flower pinned on it. She is holding a camera and asks the viewer to say "cheese". She snaps a photo and introduces herself as Photographer Tasha, who takes the photos that go into the Bigopolis City News newspaper. Tasha sings the song I've Got a Secret Identity (song) as she explains that she is not an ordinary photographer, she is also a superhero named SuperSnap, who can run at the speed of light (but cannot reveal her secret identity).
The backyard transforms into the city of Bigopolis. Tasha walks into a tall building where she enters a room. She greets her boss, Newspaper Editor Pablo, but he is not happy since they do not have a picture for the front page story: Captain Bubble (Tyrone) fighting a giant, evil robot and saving Bigopolis. He tells her that he tried to draw one himself, but it did not look anything like the real thing. He holds up a poorly drawn picture of a pink stick figure (which is supposed to be the robot). They sing Front Page News as Tasha tries to persuade Pablo into letting her take the photo for the front page of the newspaper.
Tasha rushes outside and sees Captain Bubble fighting the robot. She knows that he needs help, but Bubble insists on defeating the robot alone. He traps the robot in a large bubble. Tasha is about to take an image of Tyrone in front of the robot when it starts to try to escape. It repeatedly chants "cheese". She turns into SuperSnap and runs around the robot so quickly a tornado forms and blows the gigantic robot away. Tasha return to the tall building and sadly tells to Pablo that she was not able to take a photo of the robot since a heroine named SuperSnap, who fought the robot, was too fast to take an image of. Pablo is not happy for Tasha didn't get any pictures.
Pablo tells her that Bug Girl (Uniqua) is about to fight the robot, since it has popped the bubble Tyrone trapped it in and come back to Bigopolis. Tasha walks over to Bug Girl, who has the ability to perform actions only bugs can perform. Tasha and Uniqua begin singing Bug Girl as Uniqua picks up the robot with her super strength (as some insects, such as ants, can lift many times their weight). The robot crashes down. Tasha transforms into SuperSnap again and places two carts the same size as the robot's feet under it. Bug Girl places the robot on top of the carts and sends the robot away on wheels.
Tasha walks to Pablo inside the tall building and tells him that she was not able to take an image. Pablo is not happy again and tells her that the robot has come back and both heroes (Captain Bubble and Bug Girl) are about to fight it. Tasha runs outside the building and sees Captain Bubble trap the robot inside a wall of bubbles. She is about to take a picture when the robot breaks the wall. Uniqua asks Tyrone why he is saying "cheese". The characters begin singing Cheese, Cheese as they bring the robot cheese, thinking he wants it.
Tasha turns into SuperSnap and tells the superheroes that he is saying "cheese" because he wants his picture taken. She grabs her camera and is about to take a photo. The robot poses. She takes multiple pictures of him. Pablo walks out of the tall building. SuperSnap tells Pablo that she is Photographer Tasha, and actually could not take a picture because she was fighting the robot. Pablo tells her that he understands and decided to take a picture of him with the heroes and the giant robot and put it on the front on the newspaper. After he put the picture in front of the newspaper, he said there is another problem. The heroes ask if was a giant spider, a giant asteroid or a giant dinosaur. Pablo said he was hungry and his stomach growls.
Uniqua invites everyone over to her house for cheese. Bigopolis transforms back into the backyard. The characters sing the end song and rush into Uniqua's house for a snack. Tasha opens the previously closed door and shouts "Can you guess what snack we're having?" and everybody yells out, "CHEESE!". The end credits for the episode begin.

text: Overclocking-centric motherboards have been around for a few CPU generations now and they seem to be here to stay. The 'overclocking' motherboard trend got real traction when GIGABYTE launched the X58A-OC a couple of years ago and it became very popular among overclockers and enthusiasts despite that fact that the X58 chipset was reaching the end of its life but from sales point of view, it was really a hit. A major reason behind its low sales was that it was a strictly overclocking motherboard and it didn't have much of the other (general) features. Later down the road, GIGABYTE tanked the 'OC' naming scheme but launched the Z77X-UP7 with the same overclocking DNA and the black/orange color scheme. This motherboard was an exact opposite of the X58A-OC. It was priced around $400 as compared to the $200 X58A-OC and in addition to the overclocking features, it had lots of other features as well. Basically, it was an overkill for any type of system. Once again, it surely made lots of records but it failed to achieve good sales.

Proposal by EPA unrealistic
June 5, 2014
Spring is not a good time for farmers and ranchers in North Dakota to be hit with the Environmental Protection Agency's new proposed rule for the Clean Water Act, which is nearly 400 pages long....
Why don't do things as a country because they are easy, we do things because they are hard - JFK.
If they can put a man on the moon, then they can hit the EPA marks. Of course, Chev can't even make a bumper that will last 5000 miles, so maybe I'll eat crow.......

For sure, HAHA-InTheHead....I feel we all must believe 'the majority of the scientists'....I feel I don't understand why all scientists don't move forword and get on board with us on global warming....I feel we will have to go get that irrefutable scientific proof ( believe it's stored with the WMD's, Mark'sHigh)and get it to these holdout scientists...

Science deniers...nice phrase, that.
But not all are little sheep to be driven around by the climate change con artists, are they?
"There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth's atmosphere over the past 100 years," said (Greenpeace co-founder Patrick) Moore, who was testifying before the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee's Subcommittee on Oversight.
"If there were such a proof, it would be written down for all to see. No actual proof, as it is understood in science, exists."

"But climate change, which the Republic party says is a hoax, is causing more of them with more frequency and intensity."
This is, of course, a very speculative, yet sincerely held opinion.

"Proposal by EPA unrealistic"
So, is it "realistic" to deny climate change and just allow more and more catastrophic weather events to destroy more and more lives? Will it be "realistic" when all the coastal cities have 10 feet of water in the streets??
Maybe some of you right wing economic geniuses can tell us how all these tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, and wildfires affect our economy???

Best Small Business Document Management Solutions
by Guest Author on November 19, 2012
As the owner of a small business you are no stranger to the documents, contracts and photos that you can amass on a daily basis. Keeping tabs on all of these things can become a bit tedious as you go about your work day. Depending on your business, you will need to call up these documents at various times during the day and perhaps even at various locations other than the office. With the growing popularity of document storage and the use of cloud computing, being able to do these things has never been easier.
Use the cloud to streamline your business
Choosing to use one of the many cloud services available on the market right now can be an important part of streamlining your businesses into becoming more efficient, as well as more mobile. Because all of your documents are uploaded and stored in the "cloud" ( really, just a fancy word for the internet, think of it as an online-thumb drive that you no longer need to carry with you), you will have the freedom to access your documents, reports and files anywhere that you have Wi-Fi access.
Save yourself the headache
This kind of document storage also relieves the headache of having information stored on just one computer. Getting documents onto your smartphone, tablet or laptop has never been easier. A meeting at a coffee shop or business other than your own no longer requires you to lug around a tangible folder or stack of papers as they are all easily called up through the folders and files saved onto the cloud.
Empower your business through document sharing
Any owner of a small business needs to be able to share certain files among other employees or co-workers. Using a document storage service can allow you to share these files, letting multiple employees view one master sheet at the same time. Next meeting, rather than converging over one mutual computer monitor or stack of papers, everyone can view the same page simultaneously through the comfort of their own screens.
The cloud can help your bottom line
Another great benefit of these services is the price options that come associated with them. Depending on the volume of files you will be using, many cloud computing options come with a great price points, if there is one at all (many services offer free storage up to a certain amount). Also, depending on which service is used, mobile app integrations are becoming more and more common. This can be a great benefit for business owners with a lot of traveling and out of office time.
Below are some of the best cloud storage services available right now, how much they will set you back and what they offer.
Google Docs
Google makes their entry into the cloud computing market with their version, Google Docs. Accessed directly from your Gmail account, the ease of its availability is certainly a plus. Google offers you an initial 5 GB of free storage with paid packages starting at $2.49 a month for 25 GB up to a 16 Terabyte plan for $799.99 a month. That's almost a year's worth of HD videos if you were curious.
Dropbox is probably one of the most widely recognized services of cloud storage on the market today. With a great mobile app and free introductory storage space, it's easy to see why. First time users can enjoy up to 2GB of free storage space with prices for paid storage starting at $9.99 a month for 100GB and moving on up for additional storage. Dropbox comes with a load of benefits from a track-able list of who opened which file at what time to a "no-downtime" philosophy.
Amazon Cloud Drive
If you are a user of one of Amazon's Kindle devices, using the cloud service offered from them makes for a pretty smooth transition. First time users of the Amazon cloud storage can use up to 5 GB of free storage, with pricing options than being determined on how much and for what purpose you than use their services for. A full list of pricing options can be found on their site.
In conclusion:
Deciding which service to use for your business is mainly determined by how much you plan on storing on a monthly basis. Often times for a small business, a free service will generally get the job done, but if your company requires a little bit more storage, consider using one of the services listed above.
What about you, what services listed or not listed here do you use? We would love to hear from you.

In 1982, the original members of the Pony Express, Eric Dickerson and Craig James, had one final year to wreak havoc on opposing defenses. Even though Ron Meyer had left for the NFL, the Mustangs were poised to make a run at the National Championship with new coach Bobby Collins. By the end of the year, the Mustangs were the only undefeated team in the country and ranked No. 2 in the polls for one of the 90 Greatest Moments in SMU Football History.
The Mustangs started the season ranked No. 6 in the AP poll coming off of a 10-1 campaign in 1981. In fact, the National Championship Foundation had named SMU their National Champions at the end of the season. The 1982 season started off on a high note as the Pony Express ran wild over Tulane, 51-7. The Mustangs carried this momentum to El Paso as they ran over UTEP, 31-10. Dickerson scored on an 80-yard run on the second play of the game.
SMU opened Southwest Conference play versus TCU at Texas Stadium in week three. It proved to be a hard fought game with SMU scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter for a 16-13 come-from-behind victory. It was the kind of win that built character and confidence. After drilling North Texas in week four, the Pony Express headed to Waco to tangle with the Baylor Bears. Once again, the Mustangs had to come-from-behind to win. Trailing 19-14 late in the game, SMU drove 75 yards in 13 plays for the winning touchdown.
Back home at Texas Stadium, Dickerson led the Mustangs to a 20-14 win over Houston. He rushed for a career high 241 yards in the process. The win put SMU at 5-0 and ranked fourth in the country. The stage was set for a showdown with the Longhorns as the Pony Express headed for Austin. A two-point defeat at the hands of Texas in 1981 was all that separated the Mustangs from a perfect season. This time around, the Mustangs, behind three Lance McIlhenny touchdown passes, upended the Horns, 30-17. They were in control of the SWC.
Riding high from the win in Austin, the Mustangs rolled up blow-out victories over Texas A&M and Rice. The Mustangs moved up to No. 2 in the polls, their highest ranking since being ranked No. 1 almost exactly thirty-two years earlier. The season had already seen its share of great moments and plays, but the best were yet to come. In week 10, it appeared as if Texas Tech was going to be able to end SMU�s perfect season. After Tech tied the game with 17 seconds remaining, the Mustangs pulled off a miracle. On the ensuing kickoff, Bobby Leach took a throwback pass 91 yards up the sideline for the score and the win. It became known as �The Miracle on Fourth Avenue.�
Then in the season finale against Arkansas, the Mustangs played before a sellout crowd with the SWC title, Cotton Bowl berth, and a possible national title on the line. It was the first advanced sellout since the 1949 Notre Dame game. Late in the game, and trailing by seven, McIlhenny drove the Mustangs 80 yards in nine plays to tie the score. It culminated in an option play in which McIlhenny faked to Dickerson up the middle, then faked a pitch to James, and took the ball into the end zone himself for the touchdown. Despite ending in a tie, the Mustangs had won the SWC title and were heading to the Cotton Bowl for the first time since 1966.
In the Cotton Bowl, the Mustangs battled a tough Pittsburgh team that was led by future hall of famer Dan Marino. In the end, McIlhenny, using the same option play from the Arkansas game, scored the only touchdown of the game to give SMU a 7-3 victory. The scoreboard at the Cotton Bowl lit up with a simple question: National Champions?
The season ended with the Mustangs sporting an 11-0-1 record. They were the only undefeated team left in the land. The final AP poll ranked SMU No. 2, its highest final ranking since 1947 when they finished No. 3. Several national writers believed SMU was deserving of the national championship that went to a one-loss Penn State team. The Helm Athletic Foundation ended up naming Mustangs their National Champions. Regardless, the 1982 season was one of the finest in school history and takes it place among the 90 Greatest Moments in SMU Football History.

Yeremiah Bell is open to re-signing with the Miami Dolphins
Recently released Miami Dolphins safety Yeremiah Bell has drawn interest on the free agent market, but Drew Rosenhaus, his agent, acknowledged there's a change Bell could return to his former team.
During his weekly talk with WQAM's Joe Rose show, Rosenhaus expressed disappointment in the timing of Bell's release, but said "[Bell] will land on his feet."
"There is interest, and maybe there's a chance he'll come back to the Dolphins," Rosenhaus said. "I certainly will not get into the way that I feel. Let us just move on." Listen to his comments below:
Rosenhaus began his interview by saying he does "a lot of business with the Dolphins," and will follow the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" approach when addressing General Manager Jeff Ireland's handling of Bell.
Ireland acknowledged he informed Bell and Rosenhaus that they were safe – wouldn't be released, and didn't need to restructure his deal – back at the NFL combine last month. However, the Dolphins released Bell a week into free agency, after all the teams looking for starting safeties had signed one.
While the move can be viewed as smart strategy, there are ethical concerns about the way Bell, a team captain, was treated by Ireland and the organization.
"I certainly think he's one of the top strong safeties in the game and I do believe he will land on his feet and continue to be a fine player," Rosenhaus said of Bell, who has led the Dolphins in tackles for four straight seasons. "He has a lot of good football left in him.
"He's been durable. He shows up and plays hard, has been a leader in the locker room. A high character guy. Nobody practices harder. All the players on the team respect him," Rosenhaus said. "This is a big loss for the Dolphins."
The Dolphins haven't closed the door on re-signing Bell, but it will have to be at a reduced rate. The team presently has approximately $7 million in cap space.
Miami created $4.3 million in salary cap space by releasing Bell. It is likely Bell would need to re-sign for significantly less than his old salary ($4.3 million) to get a deal done.
However, it's also possible Bell could sign elsewhere, and the New England Patriots are one of the few teams looking into Bell. The Patriots signed former Dolphins nickel cornerback Will Allen on Wednesday.

Roscoe Dash's "All the Way Turnt Up" is so hot that artists such as Ludacris and Lupe Fiasco had to jump on it and put it on their mixtapes — but Soulja Boy Tell'em openly lobbied via Twitter to appear on the record officially.
"When I first heard the 'All the Way Turnt Up' song, Roscoe reminded me of myself," Soulja said recently on the Atlanta set of the video. "I was like, 'That sounds like a "Turn My Swag On" times 10. I gotta get on that. Roscoe, he goes hard."
Dash, who is a new signee to Soulja Boy's recording home Interscope Records, obliged the request.
"The definition of 'All the Way Turnt Up' is a new age crunk — a 2010 crunk," said Dash, whose stage surname was inspired by the fastest of "The Incredibles." "I'm not afraid to be different, or do things other people would be afraid to do or do different because they're afraid of what somebody else might say. I don't have that thought process."
"Turnt Up" went through some controversy last year when Dash, born Jeffrey Johnson Jr., had guest stars Travis Porter on the record. They put the song out on their mixtape and fans thought the record was actually Travis Porter featuring ATL (Dash's former moniker) instead of the other way around. The trio have been dropped from the song, as Roscoe is trying to forge his own brand.
"When I heard the beat I said, 'I have to make something different than anything that's out right now,' " Dash explained. "Roscoe Dash is somebody who's versatile and has a big wide body of different sounds. I just run with it and make good music."
The video for "All the Way Turnt Up" premieres soon and Dash's debut album Ready Set Go! is slated for a May 11 release.

The Government Palace and the Street: Convergences in South American History
Instructor: Ben Dangl — Spring Semester, Tuesdays from 11:45-2:45, Undergraduate Level
Course Description: South America has long been a battleground for national governments, foreign corporations, Washington, and protest movements. In this course we will analyze this convergence of political, economic and social power from national independence to recent news headlines. Militarization and state terror will be examined through the lens of dictatorships and the Andean drug wars. We will make connections between the landless farmer movements in Paraguay and Brazil and movements for public control of water in Bolivia and Uruguay. By studying free market policies in Chile and Argentina and socialism in Venezuela we will gain insights into the region's dominant economic structures. Readings and independent projects will be complemented by documentaries, indigenous hip-hop, feminist graffiti art and South American folk music.

Research and Development Initiatives
Methodologic Changes in 2011
- Methodologic Changes in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System in 2011 and Potential Effects on Prevalence Estimates
Research Initiatives to Enhance Behavioral Surveillance
A challenge for CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is effectively managing an increasingly complex surveillance system that serves the needs of multiple programs while adapting to changes in communications technology (e.g., increased use of cellular telephones), adjusting to changes in populations of people, and incorporating advances in sampling methodology.
To address these challenges, CDC's Division of Behavioral Surveillance (DBS), in collaboration with states and other stakeholders, conducts research to assess and enhance data quality and to investigate the impact of new sampling approaches and protocols for behavioral surveillance. These ongoing research efforts are critical to improving the quality of BRFSS data, reaching populations previously not included in the survey, and expanding the usefulness of the surveillance data.
Examples of current research and development initiatives are described on the pages linked below.

Voters in Texas County who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the August 24th, Run-Off Primary Election should apply now, County Election Board Secretary Kimberly Sloat said today. Although the County Election Board can accept applications for absentee ballots until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, August 18th, Sloat urged voters who want to vote by absentee ballot to apply early. Absentee ballot application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 301 N. Main St., Guymon.
"At least two mail transactions must be made," Sloat said. "The County Election Board must mail the ballots to the voter and the voter must return the voted ballots by mail." Ballots must be in the hands of the County Election Board by 7 p.m. on election day in order to be counted.
Sloat said that any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he or she is eligible to vote. It is not necessary to give a reason---or excuse---for voting absentee. "While anyone can vote absentee without giving a reason, the law still provides several excuses and it is to the advantage of some voters to use one of them," Sloat said. By stating one of the following reasons on their applications, these voters can activate some special conditions that make it easier for them to use absentee ballots. The reasons are:
-- Voters who are physically incapacitated and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons who cannot be left unattended may vote absentee. They may apply only by mail, by fax or by telegraph.
-- Voters who are confined to nursing homes in the county may vote absentee. An Absentee Voting Board actually goes to the nursing home a few days before the election, sets up a small polling place and allows these persons to vote under circumstances similar to those at a regular precinct polling place. They may apply only by mail or by fax.
-- Military personnel and residents of the county living overseas and the spouses and dependents of each group are eligible to vote absentee without being registered. These voters may apply only by mail or by fax. Military personnel should contact the Voting Service Officers in their units for application forms and additional information. Residents of Oklahoma living overseas can obtain the same materials from any United States military installation and from United States Embassies and Consulates.

Rating: PG-13
Duration: 1hr 35min
Marjane is precocious and outspoken young Iranian girl who was nine years old during the Islamic Revolution when the fundamentalists first take power--forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands. She cleverly outsmarts the "social guardians" and discovers punk, ABBA and Iron Maiden, while living with the terror of government persecution and the Iran/Iraq war. Then Marjane's journey moves on to Austria where, as a teenager, her parents send her to school in fear for her safety and, she has to combat being equated with the religious fundamentalism and extremism she fled her country to escape. Marjane eventually gains acceptance in Europe, but finds herself alone and horribly homesick, and returns to Iran to be with her family, although it means putting on the veil and living in a tyrannical society. After a difficult period of adjustment, she enters art school and marries, continuing to speak out against the hypocrisy she witnesses. At age 24, she realizes that while she is deeply Iranian, she cannot live in Iran. She then makes the heartbreaking decision to leave her homeland for France, optimistic about her future, shaped indelibly by her past.

Hi folks :)
Sorry for the lack of updates during the last months, but I got a job so I had/have less sparetime. Nevertheless I'm still on my project.
I managed to realize a dynamic combosystem. As a melee character you'll be able to learn different combo attacks. Then you have to initilize the desired combo and press the right buttons in the correct order and the mentioned timeframe. Combos will deal much more damage than normal attacks, but only if the attack is performed at the correct time.
I'm still working on the many many required models. As you may notice I updated the hero model as well to match the improved style.
All I can say is that I won't let the project go into nether. I will finish it, but I still can't give out any information when this will be. Please be patient, it will be worth it.
Best regards

Is this a dead mod?
Thats very nice horsey travel system.Though I would say its pity that it seems the mount is uncontrollable.I take it you've overthrown the game interface of normally most possible movement speed to be higher than that of 522?
Yes the horse is not controllable. But you won't need that, because the map is not that big. The horse/hero are not moving at all. They are translated by something like brezier curve to follow a path marked by waypoints.
Is entire single player concept going to be converted into multiplayer? The map really looks decent but what about the size limit? I'm sure you intend on adding even more content.
I'm tracking this for a long time.Just wanted to tell you that you are doing great job.That will be the best mod,dont forget about coop,i would like to play with 1 more player.I like that you want to do unique mod,not a simple one,you have good ideas and i like visuals.I'm really astonished about your work here.It looks better and better every time when i'm checking updates.
Wow! Very nice to know, that there are people how really enjoy wht I'm doing. Fans like you keep me motivated!
even tho i dont do mods for warcraft, i have to say this just might make me try if you finish it IF so keep going or quit now and regret it, your choice :)

"Dancing With the Stars" has a huge night coming up. The "switch up" has been done and the couples will be announced on the live show this evening. Rumors have been swirling about who will be paired with who, but nothing officially has been said by the network or the show. According to an April 7 report from the Huffington Post, there have been tensions on the set. From the new "switch up" partners to the diva antics from Erin Andrews, Season 18 has had a lot of drama in just four weeks.
On promos for "Dancing With the Stars" Maksim Chmerkovskiy begged fans not to switch him and partner Meryl Davis. Unfortunately for Chmerkovskiy, fans did switch the partners and Meryl ended up with his brother Valentin. Maksim ended up with Danica McKellar. This caused a lot of angst because Chmerkovskiy called McKellar sexy and she did not respond well to the comment. Also there have been rumors of Erin Andrews being a diva. In the report, Andrews talks about calling the producers and seeing what she could do better after hearing reports she may be axed. It looks like that is all worked out now and ABC is happy to have Andrews on the show.
The "switch up" announcement will be made tonight and the new couples will have to perform their first dance together. "Dancing With the Stars" airs Monday nights at 7 p.m. CT on ABC.

The first program in this series illustrates the tragic effects that can result when pesticides creep into nature's food chains. It concerns specifically the demise of a major brown pelican flock and the unnatural behavior of seals on islands off the coast of California near Santa Barbara.
This was the first episode in the series. At the time, environmental reporting on DDT was nothing new–it was, of course, the crux of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. But even 6 years after Silent Spring, the effects of the chemical were still not thoroughly studied.
In 1972, two years after this episode aired, the Environmental Protection Agency instituted a ban on the use of DDT for general use. The suspension of the pesticide has made a significant impact on the Channel Islands: At a time when there were only 727 annual nests in 1970, the California brown pelican nest population increased to 7,900 from 1979 to 1987 according to the Center for Biological Diversity; there were 6,000 nests as of 2004. Though the brown pelican was removed from endangered species lists on the east and southeast coasts of the U.S., only in February 2009 did The California Fish and Game Commission vote to remove it from their endangered species list.
Today the Channel Islands is populated by over 70,000 California sea lions, 50,000 northern seals, and 1,100 harbor seals. In addition to the pelicans, sea lions, and elephant seals, two of the Channel's neighboring islands, San Miguel and Anacapa, are collectively the home of animals such as western gulls, sparrows, cormorants and black oystercatchers.
Note: The bioaccumulative effects of DDT have now been studied in more detail–but the full picture is still taking shape. DDT is still in use in many parts of the world in limited doses. This article lays some of the arguments out. Also, see this
NYTimes article revising Carson's assertions on DDT.

TELEVISION: The Washington-Idaho State game will air live to a national audience on the the the Pac-12 Networks with Kevin Calabro (play-by-play), Yogi Roth (analyst) and Jill Savage (sidelines) providing the commentary. The Pac-12 Networks will also air repeated broadcasts of the game. Check your cable/dish listings for more.
RADIO: The Washington IMG College Network, with its flagship station KJR 950-AM, will carry the live broadcast of every football game on 18 Northwest radio stations. Longtime play-by-play man Bob Rondeau and color analyst Damon Huard are joined by sideline reporter Elise Woodward. The home broadcast of the game will also air on Sirius (110) and XM (191) satellite radio.
HUSKIES vs. IDAHO STATE: Washington has never face Idaho State, despite the Bengals being from one of the neighboring states. The Huskies do have a long history against Idaho, a former member of what is now the Pac-12 Conference. The UW is 35-2-2 vs. the Vandals. Washington also has a more-recent history vs. Boise State, having gone 2-1 vs. the Broncos with all three of those meetings having come in the last six years.
HUSKIES vs. THE BIG SKY: Washington has faced just three current members of the Big Sky Conference in its football history: Eastern Washington, Portland State and Montana. The UW beat EWU in the 2011 season opener and won its lone meeting vs. Portland State last season. The Grizzlies were a part of the Pacific Coast Conference (precursor to the Pac-12) from 1924 to 1950, and faced the UW 18 times from 1920 to 1951. Washington went 16-1-1 in those 18 meetings with the lone loss coming in 1920 and the tie in 1929.
HOME vs. NON-CONFERENCE: Washington has been very tough to beat in home, non-conference games over the last several decades or so. Going back to (and including) the 1981 season, the Huskies have posted a 56-13 record against non-Pac-12 foes in Husky Stadium. Those 13 losses have come to Nebraska (2010), LSU (2009), BYU (2008), Oklahoma (2008), Ohio State (2007), Notre Dame (2005), Fresno State (2004), Nevada (2003), Air Force (1999), Nebraska (1997), Notre Dame (1995), Colorado (1989) and Oklahoma State (1985). The wins during that stretch include victories over No. 19 Boise State to open this season, No. 22 Boise State in 2007, No. 11 Michigan in 2001, No. 4 Miami in 2000, and No. 12 Nebraska in 1992, to name just four. Prior to the 2004 loss to Nevada, Washington hadn't lost a home game to a non-league opponent since falling to Air Force, 31-21, on September 18, 1999. The Huskies had won 10 such games before that Nevada loss.
WASHINGTON-IDAHO STATE TIES: There are several ways in which the UW and Idaho State players and coaches have crossed paths. Idaho State head coach Mike Kramer played at and graduated from Idaho, as did Husky offensive line coach Dan Cozzetto, though they just missed one another in terms of being teammates. UW linebackers coach Peter Sirmon and Bengals OLBs coach Spencer Toone were teammates for one season with the Tennessee Titans. Idaho State secondary coach Stanley Franks played at Idaho when UW running backs coach Johnny Nansen was a member of the coaching staff. While Washington's current roster does not include any players from Idaho, the Bengals' roster has 16 Washingtonians among its ranks. The only ISU player who attended a Washington high school with a current Husky is senior DB Tanner Davis, who attended Gig Harbor High, alma mater of Huskies Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Korey Durkee. While his hometown is listed as Los Angeles, ISU's Jon Davidson attended Skyline High in Sammamish, Wash., which also produced current Huskies Weston Blackburn, Connor Cree and Kasen Williams. Other UW and ISU high school ties: UW's Lavon Coleman and ISU's Nikko Hayes (Lompoc), UW's Kendyl Taylor and ISU's Alex Burgoyne (Hamilton), Additionally, ISU senior Kimo Makaula begin his career at the UW before transferring.

Cell Block: Are Stationary Fuel Cells the Energy Answer?
What do the Sierra Nevada craft brewery in California and the U.S. Navy's Barking Sands missile range in Hawaii have in common, other than an affinity for beer? They're both powered by fuel cells, standalone power plants that turn gas into heat and electricity with no emissions.
The fuel cells used in California and Hawii, both made by Connecticut-based Fuel Cell Energy, aren't the sort of portable power devices slated to revolutionize the auto industry. But they do potentially offer solutions to a host of the energy challenges confounding policymakers these days. They're highly efficient, have zero emissions, relatively inexpensive, and don't need any contentious new transmission lines to carry their juice.
Of course, if they really were an energy panacea, Fuel Cell Energy wouldn't be bleeding red ink, with losses of $93 million last year on sales of $100 million.
Fuel Cell Energy's technology works by turning pretty much any feedstock—natural gas, biogas, propane, even coal—into electricity and heat. Because there's no combustion inside the fuel cell, there are no emissions—the cells, offshoots of years of battery research, rely on an electro-chemical reaction. Because the cells are built to take advantage of the heat they generate—useful for everything from brewers to prisons to hotels with chilly swimming pools—they are much more efficient than traditional fossil-fuel plants.
"We put power where power is needed," says chief executive Dan Brdar. By clean-energy standards, the economics are almost compelling: plants that run on biogas generate electricity at 10-12 cents per kilowatt hour. Cells powered by natural gas operate at about 14-15 cents an hour, he said. Some customers, like Sierra Nevada, use a mix of both.
The cells are also tiny. The model installed for the Navy in Hawaii is 300 kilowatts; Sierra Nevada strung together a handful of cells to make a 1-megawatt mini-power plant. That's less than a single wind turbine and one-thousandth the power in a typical big power plant; size is both the strength and the weakness of fuel cells.
Small size is more attractive the more pushback there is to centralized electricity, both in putting up new power plants and in rigging up the transmission lines needed to carry that electricity. States with tough renewable-energy standards are increasingly looking at so-called distributed generation as an answer.
But in a country with about 1,000 gigawatts of installed electricity capacity, fuel cells will likely remain a niche application—not a large-scale answer to the need for lots of new, clean energy. Mr. Brdar acknowledges that—but says the same applies to wind, solar, and even nuclear power. "There is no single silver bullet," he says.

Medicare Bulk Billing
In Cosmetic Dental Care we do bulk billing through Medicare (conditions apply). Cosmetic Dental care chooses to offer bulk bill Medicare so you do not need to pay any out of pocket gap payments.
Under the Medicare chronic disease dental scheme, Medicare benefits are available for most services provided by a dentist, dental specialist or dental prosthetist in private dental surgeries.
To receive a Medicare benefit for dental services, you will first need to meet certain eligibility criteria and be referred by their GP to us Cosmetic Dental care.
Who is eligible for dental services under the Medicare chronic disease dental scheme?
To be eligible, you must have a chronic medical condition and complex care needs and their oral health must be impacting on, or likely to impact on, their general health.
A chronic medical condition is one that has been or is likely to be present for at least six months. It may include, but is not limited to, conditions such as asthma, cancer, cardiovascular illness, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, mental illness, musculoskeletal conditions and stroke.
Complex care needs means that your patient is receiving ongoing care from a multidisciplinary team, which includes their GP and at least two other health care providers.
In practice, this means you will need to be managed by their GP under certain care plans. For most people this involves the preparation of a GP Management Plan and Team Care Arrangements. For residents of aged care facilities, it involves the GP contributing to a multidisciplinary care plan prepared for the resident by the facility.
If you believe you fulfil the criterias, You should talk to their GP about whether you are eligible for these plans. If you are eligible your GP must complete the plans and bill them before you have your first dental service.
What dental services will the Medicare chronic disease dental scheme cover?
A comprehensive range of dental services will be covered, including dental assessments, preventive services, extractions, fillings, restorative work and dentures.Eligible patients may access Medicare benefits of up to $4250 in total over two consecutive calendar years for dental services.
How do the GP referral arrangements work?
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will be referred by a GP to us for further assessment and treatment, including full or partial dentures.
The referral will last for two consecutive calendar years from the first dental service. If additional treatment is required after this period a new referral from a GP is required.
What will a patient have to pay for the dental services?
Dental practitioners are free to set their own fees for services. To ensure you are aware of the potential costs you will need to obtain a written quote before starting a course of treatment if you are NOT using Cosmetic Dental Care for dental services.
As Cosmetic Dental Care chooses to bulk bill you the patient, there is no out of pocket gap payments for you. Essentially free treatment if you are eligible under this Medicare scheme.

College Hockey:Anchorage Assistant Simon Leaves for USHL Job
Alaska-Anchorage assistant coach Regg Simon is leaving his alma mater to become the head coach and general manager of the USHL's Des Moines Buccaneers.
Simon had been a Seawolves assistant for the past two seasons. In Des Moines, he will replace Mike Guentzel, who left to join the staff at Nebraska-Omaha.
"Regg did a great job here for two years," Alaska-Anchorage coach Dave Shyiak said in a statement. "We are thankful for his efforts and understand this was too good of a deal for him to pass up. He is going to a great league and we wish him future success in Des Moines."
Simon played for Des Moines and also coached there.
"This is a great opportunity for me to be a head coach again and take a further step in my career," Simon said. "I appreciate the opportunity I've had here, and I know working with Coach Shyiak and [associate head coach] Campbell Blair has made me a better coach."

If you're older, a woman, and suffering from either dementia or diabetes, you are the most likely to be exposed to unsubsidized medication costs in the United States. This is known as the coverage gap or "doughnut hole" for enrollees of Medicare Part D. Medicare Part D is the federal program which subsidizes the cost of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries.
In 2006, 3.4 million seniors signed up to a Part D plan which provides voluntary drug coverage to all Medicare beneficiaries. The plan was expected to improve adherence to drug regimens and health outcomes, via improved financial access to medications. However, the standard Part D benefit includes a coverage gap (or doughnut hole).
After a Medicare beneficiary surpasses the prescription drug coverage limit, he or she becomes financially responsible for the entire cost of prescription drugs until the expense reaches another threshold – the catastrophic coverage threshold.
Researchers at UCLA recently discovered that 16 percent of enrollees entered the gap, with nearly 3 percent entering the gap very early on, i.e. within the first 180 days.
Of those who entered the gap, only 7 percent exited again. Women and patients with dementia and diabetes were the most likely to enter the gap. Other conditions also predisposed beneficiaries to gap entry, including end-stage renal disease, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mental health conditions, and congestive heart failure.

HGTV's "Beat the House" stars are at it again on tonight's show as evidenced in this Jan. 21 Ardaban sneak peek clip provided by an inside source the Atlanta Top News Examiner spoke with today. But will Georgia's own Macon realtor JoJo Jones finally give her Northern adversary a thrashing during the third episode of this new series?
Viewing the promo video of the dueling realtors makes it seem on one hand that Jones is going to finally start beating the house the show's guests have chosen, with tonight's female home buyer Colleen gushing over the space JoJo's chosen house provided.
The house that you showed us JoJo, it offered us every nook and cranny that we could ever need and more!"
But just like in the two previous episodes, the husband in this story, Rick, also weighed in with a negative, telling the female Southern belle that he feels the biggest drawback in the home she presented to them was where it was located, because it "was on a really busy street." This couple has a daughter and are used to living an urban life rather than in the suburbs. So a busy street is an issue, apparently.
Christopher Kromer thinks Rick's dislike of busy streets in the neighborhood where Jones' house is located is going to give him the edge over his co-star, and you can see it all over his face. But when Rick starts bragging about how Kromer's house is a "walkable" distance, JoJo gets angry and asks, "But how far is it on the train?" since commuting is a concern for these two home buying adults as well.
And the Southern realtor is rewarded with this disclosure from Rick's wife:
That was the drawback to Christopher's house," Colleen admitted. "We're sitting on the train for an hour, and a bus ride that's almost as long."
Georgia's hotshot realtor must convince this couple that teaching their daughter good road safety skills is preferable to them having to ride a train for an hour just because their new house has a busy street. But can she do it? Kromer doesn't think so, moving to cut her off before she can start by reminding Rick and Colleen that transportation in the city is "soon going to be offering an express stop" that will cut down on their commute time, if they take his house.
If JoJo Jones loses out to her nemesis in this episode it's going to make her fans in the South believe she's been set up for failure, as she has always managed to locate the most perfect-ready homes in each episode, which made the female guests in each show drool with delight. So her losses are either a set-up or the men picked to star in this series must be the tightest penny-pinchers in the nation.
These men don't seem to give a rat's rear-end about their wife's ability to move into a ready home. Instead, they appear to want to sacrifice their loved one's comfort and ease in order to keep that green in their wallet. I mean for goodness sakes, Rick really wants viewers to believe he's more concerned about a busy street than a one-hour commute to work? Who's he kidding?
Tune in tonight at 11 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. ET to find out if this is the week that JoJo steps up her Suzanne Sugarbaker game and makes Christopher Kromer look like tightwad Mr. Roper on Three's Company.
Atlanta Top News Examiner Radell Smith has written for several local Georgia newspapers, covering celebrities and events around the state and espousing her views on pop culture and more in a weekly op-ed column. Let her know if you think HGTV's Beat the House star JoJo Jones is fighting a losing battle with this show or if she just needs to beat Christopher at his own game by finding a cheaper house for the show's guests.

For the amount of web developer job interviews I've been to, I'm somewhat surprised that no one has brought up Zend certification. Has anyone ever been certified before, or is it a waste of time/money?
As a full time PHP Developer, I have never had anybody ask if I was Zend certified.
I have not taken the certification exam, and I don't foresee myself taking it in the future. While it may give you one up on your competition in an interview, I think the same thing can be achieved by simply knowing your craft.
By all means, take the exam if you like, but I don't think it will help you in your PHP career.
Also, when I DID look at the Zend certification (back in the early PHP5 days), I noticed there was a lot of weight put on memorization of function names and parameters. I don't feel this makes you a better programmer, which had a huge weight in my decision not to take the exam.
I tend to shy away from technology-specific certifications for the reason that Craige mentioned in his answer - they focus on things like functions, parameters, and language features that change (sometimes rapidly) over time. I would rather see projects and work history using technology, rather than certifications. These would demonstrate your grasp of language functions and show me how you design and implement systems. The certifications that I would look for are those by well-respected organizations that offer technology-independent validation of knowledge about a given set of concepts.
Maybe a company that is a programming consultancy likes to claim their devs are Zend certified. They would probably just hire good programmers and require taking the exam which they would pay for. This is big in the Microsoft world (To be Gold Certified?). Not sure how much it applies here.

Tesla Motors (TSLA) remains a momentum darling despite recent volatility, up almost 450% in 2013 thanks to a massive short squeeze and favorable earnings. But can Tesla stock keep up its run?
Maybe. But even if the trend does continue higher, expect a much bumpier ride in TSLA.
On the bull side, Tesla has a strong backlog for its Model S sedan and earnings continue to impress Wall Street. In fact, Wedbush just upgraded its rating on TSLA to "outperform" from "neutral" with a $240 price target amid optimism about Tesla stock.
Tesla Motors gapped higher Tuesday, but will it last?
TSLA Outlook Demands Perfection
Recently, Baird issued a TSLA downgrade that spoke to unrealistic investor expectations. In their downgrade of Tesla stock, Baird analysts wrote that "solid execution" was already priced into the stock. In essence, TSLA really only has downside risk because the TSLA bull run seems to predict nearly flawless performance going forward, and it's almost impossible to exceed such sky-high expectations.
Tesla stock recently hit a 52-week high above $194.50, and (assuming nearly flawless performance) it's hard to say just how high TSLA could ultimately go in the long-term. After all, the Model S has proven there's strong demand for luxury electric vehicles, and it will be some time before major automakers like General Motors (GM), Ford (F) or Toyota (TM) can go toe-to-toe with TSLA.
But in the short-term, it's undeniable that Tesla stock has a bumpy road ahead as it looks to meet super-high expectations and continues to ride a wave of incredibly strong short interest from bearish investors.
So whatever your position in TSLA, bullish or bearish, you should expect a rocky ride for the rest of 2013 and into 2014.

Today may be so windy, the umbrella does you little to no good! But the combination of wind and rain will make for a miserable day outside. Hang in there!
*Record Rain! Yesterday's rain total of 1.33" broke the daily precip record for Oct. 19th of 1.14 set in 1877. Our storm total so far (as of 2am) for Indy is 1.91" and we could get another ¼-1/2" through this evening before the rain tapers
*Wind: A Wind Advisory is in effect 'til 6pm for all of Central Indiana. We could see gusts out of the Northwest/West 40-45 mph
*Cool: Today will be the 3rd straight day with highs only in the 40s. Our average high is 64!
*Drying Out: We should see the last showers move out tonight paving the way for a mainly dry Friday and Saturday. Some more showers (nothing too heavy) may move in late Sunday.
*Frost Potential: I have a feeling the showers and clouds may not clear 'til the wee hours tomorrow morning…that may mean temps don't quite drop low enough tomorrow morning for a frost. But Saturday morning, with clear skies and light winds…a FROST still looks likely.
*Weekend: Highs in the 60s. Dry Saturday, Showers Develop Late Sunday
