Ohio State is set to clash with rival Penn State on Saturday. The Buckeyes find themselves in unfamiliar territory as November nears a close and the possibility of playing for the Big Ten title has slipped through their fingers. They still have much to play for, including sending their seniors out with a win in their final home game. Standing in their way is a stout Penn State squad with eyes on the Big Ten title.
Penn State enters this game with a one game lead in the Leaders division. The Nittany Lions have used a stellar defense and bruising running game to get to where they are today. If the Nittany Lions win out, they would earn the trip to Indy and a chance to play for the Big Ten title. Given everything happening off the field in State College, that would be a welcomed blessing.
To gain a Penn State insight into this game, as well as their program, I asked Penn State Examiner Kevin McGuire his thoughts.
Q: Obliviously, the sex scandal and the subsequent release of Joe Paterno have rocked the university. What long-term effects will these events have on Penn State's program?
Kevin: Honestly, I think we're still trying to piece together enough information to figure out exactly how this will all play out at Penn State moving forward. It probably goes without saying that there is going to be a long recovery process, both for those directly involved and as a university. This is a community that has had their hearts broken. Sponsors have backed out of supporting the university as they once did, but in time, those sponsors will come back or be replaced.
As far as the football program is concerned, it will begin with setting in place a new athletics director. On Wednesday, it appears that step was taken with the naming of David Joyner as acting athletics director. Next will be finding a new head coach. Nobody ever wants to be the next guy after a legend, such as Joe Paterno, and attracting a viable candidate to Penn State may prove to be a little tougher than once thought due to the circumstances. It is easy to say the negative stories out of State College will prove to deter some candidates from being interested, and the financial impact could become an issue that needs to be figured out, but when all is said and done, I still feel that Penn State is going to have something pretty good to offer any interested coach. Who that coach might be? At this point, it is hard to tell.
Urban Meyer? Al Golden? Greg Schiano? Right now, your guess is as good as mine, but I suspect it will be someone without direct Penn State ties, unless it is Al Golden.
Q: The Nittany Lions have a one game lead in the Leaders division going into this weekend's game against Ohio State, what will Penn State need to do better in the next two weeks to make the Big Ten title game?
Kevin: If they can find 120 minutes of solid, steady and dependable offense then the Leaders Division really will be theirs to lose. Penn State's defense is more than capable of keeping the Nittany Lions in their next two games and it will be their job to give the offense every opportunity to come up with some points when it matters most.
The offense has been a major inconsistency for Penn State this season but we will see if the new coaching and the dependence on one solid quarterback (Matt McGloin) will pay off for the better or not.
The offense may not need to score too many points. If they can score 20-24 points, they should have a good chance at winning these next two weeks with this defense.
Q: Penn State's offense in many ways reflects the Buckeyes'. Do you see any improvement from either quarterback and why do you think they have had problems establishing a passing game?
Kevin: I'll answer the second part first. As I just referenced in the previous question, Penn State's offense has been inconsistent much of the season and I tend to blame the lack of stability under center for much of it. The constant switching of quarterbacks seemed to keep everybody on offense, from the offensive line to wide receivers, from finding a rhythm and getting down their timing. As we near the end of the season though McGloin has become the full-time quarterback, (a decision that Tom Bradley made quickly since taking over the job as head coach).
As for improvement in McGloin's game, I still think he tends to be rather erratic but against Nebraska, he actually made some smarter decisions in getting rid of the football without much risk of turning the ball over. That said, he does have a knack for holding on to the football a little too long, and that could be a problem over the next two weeks.
In the past two seasons, including this year, we have seen McGloin have some good performances and some very down performances. It should be clear that when McGloin leads the offense against a weak defense, he will have a decent outing, but against tougher opponents and defenses, he shows some of his glaring holes. Look no further than last season's Ohio State game and the Outback Bowl loss to Florida. He has taken on a bit of a leadership role but he could really benefit from a breakout game in a clutch situation.
Q: What players should Buckeye fans know about heading into this weekend?
Kevin: On offense, sophomore running back Silas Redd. Unfortunately for Penn State he is a little banged up after a collarbone injury last week against Nebraska. Redd has taken on a much heavier workload this season filling in for the graduated Evan Royster. He has the ability to plow through defenders and make a quick lateral adjustment on the fly to leave a defender behind. We'll see how much he plays this week (look for senior Stephfon Green to carry the load when Redd is out) but if you have not gotten to know Redd yet you will next year.
On defense it is the Devon Still. The senior defensive tackle is not an easy task for any offensive lineman and Still finds ways through the line and in to the backfield more often than not. Running straight at him is usually not a good idea, as he has the ability to bring down a running back while shoving aside an offensive lineman. Last week Nebraska learned early on that they need to run and move the football away from Still. I suspect Ohio State is well aware of that as well.
Q: What are some keys to this game and how do you think it will play out?
Kevin: For Penn State's defense the job will be to make sure the young Braxton Miller doesn't hurt them too much. It looks as though Miller has shown some good signs early on in his career but Penn State has a history of finding a way to frustrate young quarterbacks. The secondary will need to come up with a turnover or two to do just that, and if the defensive line can get to him on occasion that would help as well.
We already mentioned Penn State's offense needs to find some form of stability but using last game's showing as an example it will be critical for McGloin not to force passes and turn the ball over. It was McGloin's erratic play that really turned the game around.
Penn State does not start fast and I do not expect to see that happen this week, especially given Penn State's history in The Horseshoe. But if the defense can keep the game within reach for the offense in the fourth quarter, then I would not be surprised to see Penn State put together a key drive to have a chance to win.
But it's games like this where the history just is not on Penn State's side, so it's tough for me to picture them coming back to State College with a win. It will be hard-fought, regardless.

Lawyer withdraws in Vt teacher slaying caseThe Associated Press | July 20,2013ST. JOHNSBURY A lawyer for a woman accused along with her husband in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher has withdrawn from the case because of a conflict of interest.
On Friday, the judge granted defense attorney Marc Eagles request.
Patricia Prue and her husband, Allen Prue, are accused of abducting and killing Melissa Jenkins after luring her from her home in March 2012. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Eagle had sought to be removed from the case because one of his former clients has become a potential witness for the state.
Eagle said Judge Mary Miles Teachout granted his motion to withdraw.

Most marijuana advocates are well aware that putting an end to the dark days of pot prohibition could placate the economic turmoil of the United States.
However, the latest statistics show that with Uncle Sam's foot still firmly on the neck of the marijuana farmer. The government's stranglehold on farmers is making a second-class citizen out of cannabis cultivation in this country, and ultimately preventing the American economy from reaping benefits of what could be the nation's largest cash crop.
The folks at Floating Sheep recently published an insightful map, which serves as an outline to help the average pot proponent better understand the current position of the marijuana marketplace, not to mention the missed revenue opportunities as the result of the Fed's black listing efforts.
Interestingly, the map shows that the cost of marijuana continues to rise the further we move east, with some of the lowest cannabis costs turning up in places like Northern California, Eastern Kentucky and Western Tennessee. Of course, these pricing trends continue to fall in line with other goods and services: costing more in larger cities.
It will not surprise you that the marijuana market is considerable; however, it may shock you to know that it has an estimated value of somewhere between $10 billion and $120 billion per year. To put that in perspective, the brewing industry, responsible for stocking liquor stores, bars, sporting events, etc., is worth just over $100 billion.
There is speculation that marijuana is the real king of the American cash crops, as some studies have found its earning potential to be more substantial than the combined efforts of our country's current meal ticket -- corn and wheat -- worth $30.8 billion.
To capitalize on such an enormously bountiful industry seems like a no-brainer, especially considering the ongoing struggles reverberating from the country's economic recession in 2008, but would you believe there are currently no known economic analysis of the marijuana market -- not even any rumors of them circulating around the lunch rooms on Wall Street.
It's not for a lack of trying. Experts say that attempting to analyze and study what is considered an underground economy is an extremely difficult task, mostly because this type of research has a tendency to consist of questionable data, collected essential by studying ghosts.
Yet, as support for marijuana legalization continues to increase around the country, some experts say that it is crucial to gain a better understanding of the market potential and ultimately weigh that potential against the money the government is currently spending to enforce its supposed war on drugs -- about $40 billion per year -- nearly $1 trillion dollars since President Nixon attempted to rid the nation of the dreaded dope fiend.
It is apparent -- marijuana will make money for America, not waste it. So, why not give it a try when it appears as though everything else is no longer working?

Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira premiered her new single "Can't Remember to Forget You" on Monday. She teams up with Barbadian pop star Rihanna on the reggae-tinged track.
"Can't Remember to Forget You" is Shakira's latest single since she released her bilingual album "Sale El Sol" ("The Sun Comes Out") in 2010. Instead of going the EDM route, the Latin singer mixes her pop-rock roots with colorful reggae production. On the track, Shakira is crazy about a boy and she can't seem to shake him off. "I keep forgetting I should let you go," she laments over some heavy guitar. Rihanna sounds at home on the single with her Caribbean accent. The two ladies come together for something spectacular and refreshing on "Can't Remember to Forget You."
"Can't Remember to Forget You" is the first single from Shakira's new album. Her upcoming record will be released on March 25. She will also return to NBC's "The Voice" as a coach on Feb. 24.

This is for Windows 7
I have a .bat and .vbs file in a folder. The .bat runs the .vbs script. In the Local Policy Group editor, under Windows Settings/Scripts I added a reference to the .bat file in the Startup properties.
It seems as if my script is not running (I don't see the result). Is there a log I can check to see why my script is not running? Do the .vbs and/or bat need to be in a special folder or anything? The .bat references the .vbs with a relative path - is that OK when being run as a startup script? Everything works fine when I just double-click to run the .bat file manually.

Many people have dogs and love them. It is appalling to see however, how many people drive with their best friends in the arms with their dog's head out the window. Not only is this against the law, it is also unsafe for the pet that is loved and cherished.
We sometimes just don't think about the end of the picture or the outcome of our actions. That cute and loveable puppy comes into our lives and immediately seeks us out for love and protection. On the way home from acquiring this bundle of love and joy, we just want it to know that above all we are not taking it to the ends of the earth, rather to a place where love will abound, food will be plentiful and toys at each holiday (even some the people haven't thought of as a holiday – like going to the grocery story).
Soon after we find they need to go to see the vet for a well puppy check and shots. First going there we feel guilty because we know about the shots, the thermometer in a place nobody should stick something and puts hands all over them. So we hold them close and try to let them know we will be there to make it alright. On the trip home we cuddle this little ball of fluff that is certain (from our point of view) the world is cruel and mean to dogs.
All of these are reasons for holding our dog while driving. The end of the road is when we swerve to miss another's pet or hit a big chug-hole or worse yet are involved in an accident totally not of our own fault. However the end game is our beautiful ball of fluff, the adoring eyes and great puppy breath just flew out the window and was killed when it hit the road.
Please put pets in the proper restraining device. And please not in the front seat where an airbag with the velocity of 200 miles an hour, comes out of the steering compartment. Seatbelts are designed especially for them and travel carriers are also. Check with the www.AKC.com for the best in these devices, after all we want this little ball of fluff with that great puppy breath to be there when we get home. At least our friends above are restricted to the back of the auto.

Charles "Peewee" Goldsmith, a former president of the Hells Angels Las Vegas chapter was sentenced to two to five years in prison on Tuesday March 18, 2014 for the 2008 wedding chapel assault. The assault was on rival gang members from another motorcycle club called Mongols. Members from the Mongols club were attending a wedding at A Special Memory Wedding Chapel, located at Fourth Street and Gass Avenue in downtown Las Vegas on December 20, 2008.
At the same time members of the Hells Angels were leaving a wedding ceremony at another wedding chapel when they recognized Mongols members attending a wedding ceremony as well. A total of 13 Hells Angels members attacked three Mongols members and three other people by beating the men with their fists, feet, bottles, and trash cans. Charles "Peewee" Goldsmith was the apparent instigator of the fight and the first one to assault Mongols members according to prosecutors.
In October Charles Goldsmith plead guilty to battery with substantial bodily harm with intent to promote further or assist the activities of a criminal gang and coercion. Goldsmith's son, Brad Goldsmith, was also sentenced Tuesday to 16 months to four years in prison for his role in the attack.
When Judge Michael Villani sentenced the men, he detained them immediately and took the men into custody to start their sentences. A total of 13 men, were charged in the attack of the three Mongols members and three others. Defense attorneys for the accused claimed self defense for the defendants because months earlier from the 2008 wedding chapel incident, Mongols members attacked and killed a Hells Angel member in San Francisco.
Three of the thirteen defendants named Joseph Gennuso, John Merchant, and James Sexey plead not guilty and are awaiting trial. One of the defendants, John Dawson pled guilty to battery charges, but Mr. Dawson has since passed away.

July at "Downton Abbey" becomes like an editorial tennis game. We bounce from one situation to the next and break neck speed, at least for Downton Abbey. With only two more episodes of the series left after this one, we must rush forward with each situation to that things can be settled for the Christmas Special. This episode of "Downton Abbey" airs tonight, 9 February 2014, on your PBS station. Check local listings.
Of course, the Christmas Special will come way past Christmas for us across the pond, but no matter. This episode is about chances to change one's mind without entirely losing it.
If anyone comes close to losing her mind, it is the Dowager Countess , Violet (Maggie Smith) who actually hallucinates while she is ill with bronchitis. Nothing wild happens because the countess is old and as far as we can tell has never done anything unseemly and if she had done so in her youth, whatever it was in this new world, it would no longer be shocking at all. While ill, her arch nemesis Isobel takes care of her and ignores any sort of snobby comments the countess makes. When the countess recovers, it becomes clear she was only dimly aware that she had a nurse, so maybe more than actually hallucinating, she just had dimmed down her awareness.
Her son, Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) gallantly prepares to intimidate American politicians just by using his British aristocratic accent across the pond in favor of his wife's playboy brother, Harold. You'd think with a mother like Shirley MacLaine's Martha Levinson, any boy would have gotten the play beaten out of him, verbally or otherwise, but what would be the fun for us there? Back in the states, the Teapot Dome scandal is brewing, but the British aren't concerned with American tea parties since that incident in Boston Harbor.
Lord Grantham's preparations cause concern downstairs. Anna "Joanne Froggatt) is still suffering post-traumatic stress from her rape and has just barely gotten back together with Bates (Brendan Coyle). The rape took place in April. Anna moved out of the cottage she shared with her husband, Bates, that month and only moved back in May and they had gotten a bit better after a romantic dinner in June. Anna isn't quite well yet and Mrs. Hughes (Phyllis Logan) asks Mary (Michelle Dockery) to intercede, revealing to her why Bates should stay. Mary asks her father and that makes our slithery Thomas Barrow (Rob James-Collier) suspect there is something that he should know and it also gives him an opportunity to visit America.
Barrow urges his reluctant accomplice Phyllis Baxter (Raquel Cassidy) to keep a watchful eye and open ears. He wants intelligence.
Edith (Laura Carmichael), if you recall, learned that she was pregnant and her Mr. Gregson (Charles Edwards) is still missing. Edith and Lady Rose(Lily James) go down to London--one to avert a scandal and the other to make one. Edith has decided to get an abortion. Lady Rose continues to flirt with that handsome black jazz singer, Jack (Gary Carr).
Mary continues to be courted by Lord Gillingham who is supposedly engaged to some poor girl and she also continues to be annoyed by the socialist Mr. Blake. Yet when she and Mr. Blake happen to go down to check on the newly arrived piglets, they find the water has been overturned and the piggies are suffering from dehydration. It is, after all, July and warm enough for the pigs to get heat stroke. Mr. Blake and Mary, in the time before cellphones and the like, must work together to get those piggies re-hydrated.
Of course, all these stories are told at the same time, with us bouncing between Downton Abbey--upstairs and downstairs and even out and about where one might put pigs and one might find privacy and London in places rather suspect such as an abortion clinic and romantic places for private conversations.
When Lord Gillingham visits, he brings with him his valet, the evil rapist, Mr. Green. Mr. Green is not well-received downstairs and he makes a fateful comment. That when Mr. Bate slams down a mental tennis racquet down on Mr. Green and we only see him glower.
This episode of "Downton Abbey" will screen tonight (9 February 2014) 9 p.m. ET (check local listings) and then be available VoD on the PBS.org website.

Home birth?
*Married to My Airman Since June 2010*
Little Man Seth Arrived October 18, 2011
Newest Bundle To Arrive FEB 15, 2013
I was born at home with the cord wrapped around my neck. They actually had to cut the cord before I was born because it was so tight. When I was actually delivered I was blue in the face and not breathing. The midwife jumped in and saved my life. I turned out perfectly fine (although my mom says she really regrets that they had to cut the cord so early and I didn't end up getting all of my blood).
Yes, there are many things that could potentially go wrong. But I do think the midwife is capable of handling most of them.
I've personally just had bad experiences with hospitals in generally, especially when I had to get my appendix out. I couldn't eat and was getting so sick but for a week they just kept sending me into tests because my blood tests didn't indicate my appendix. I had to have numerous blood tests, drink barium which I couldn't keep down, get an ultrasound, all sorts of tests. Meanwhile I hadn't had anything at all to eat in over a week and couldn't even stand up on my own. The doctor did a test and said that I was too thin, there wasn't enough fat around my organs to see my appendix so I should come back in three days and they would check again. Finally my dad stepped in, my parents moved me in with them for a few weeks and my dad snapped on the doctors. He said that despite what the tests said, 20 years ago they would have looked at my symptoms, pushed the area of my appendix and seen the extreme pain I was in, and taken out my appendix. The doctor agreed with that statement so they ended up doing that and I instantly felt better and was able to eat and started to recover.I have no idea how long they would have let it go on if my dad hadn't stepped in. They were talking Crohn's disease and all sorts of things and were for trying all these additional tests.
It was a real lesson to me that sometimes the medical testing can be what kills you. The doctors didn't listen to me and it got to the point where I was too weak to even stand up for myself or make any decisions at all. My dad also insisted that he get power of attorney over me before the operation because he didn't know what decisions they would make for me in an emergency.
This is purely anecdotal. But it gave me a lesson on the mindset of doctors, at least in my area, and I realized that my midwife really listens to me, takes me seriously and takes a lot of time with me. I think that the worst could happen at home or in a hospital but I feel a lot more confident in being able to look after myself and my baby at home.

I'm a homebirth advocate but I wanted to say I understand some of the comments that are being made. In some states homebirth is not supported. I personally believe it is a money issue but unfortunatly that money greed is making homebirth potentially dangerous for some women. Because it is not legal for some midwives to attend homebirths in certain states, midwives are going 'underground'. This can create a dangerous environment. I'm not saying that underground midwives are bad...I'm just saying that having them work in secrecy can tempt them into making rash decisions when things get hot. I believe it should be made legal in every state so that all midwives can practice freely. I believe more doctors would step up to support midwives if it was legal as well. If you want homebirth to be safe...legalize midwife attended homebirths in every state.
So...I support homebirth and intend to have one this time. My husband was born at home in the 70s. It is what are family knows and understands. My midwife did go to college (not that I think that matters a whole lot) and has a PA degree along with her midwife credentials. She has 28 years experience delivery babies at home. She carries the equivalent of a ambulance in her van with her to births. The midwife model of care is pretty different than a doctors but it doesn't mean it is dangerous.
Best wishes to all the expecting Mamas out there.

We are planning a second homebirth :). For our first I always knew I would want to birth at home, but DH knew nothing about it and was nervous - talking to our midwife was really helpful for him. He also read a couple Ina May Gaskin books :).
One other thing to look into if your considering home birth is your health insurance coverage. I know mine won't pay for a home birth. I'm a worrier and a first-timer though, so I'm pretty sure I'd be more comfortable in a hospital anyway.
That was a small consideration for me. My health insurance won't cover anything at all, so it's the difference between a $2,000 home birth or a $10,000+ hospital birth.

Anoniemess Mommy - You have had more then one friend lose a baby due to homebirth!? I find this shockingly unlucky - homebirths are uncommon and homebirth deaths are extremely rare and yet a "couple of your friends" experienced this!?
We pay out of pocket for our insurance as we are self-employed. I choose not to carry a maternity rider and pay for my own maternity care. The $2,800 I pay for all of my prenatal care, labs, birth and post-partum care with my midwife is still cheaper than a maternity rider would cost me. If I choose to have a 20 week ultrasound (Which I am leaning towards this time) I will have an extra bill. Still...way less expensive and it's care I'm more comfortable with.

ZombieKitten, ouch! That's rough that your insurance won't cover anything.
I'm not trying to dissuade anyone from their preference. I'd just encourage people to get all the facts beforehand so they can plan accordingly. It would be a bummer to end up with an unexpected bill after the fact!

Three-Bean Chili
Using canned beans reduces the cook time on this vegetarian chili from hours to mere minutes.

Since its release in 2009, Angry Birds has become one of the most popular and most played video games of all time. Its success on iOS launched game developer Rovio into the stratosphere virtually overnight.
While the game has been free (ad supported) on Android for some time now, the aggravated aviary app recently dropped in price to $0.99 for the iPhone version and $2.99 for the HD iPad version. Today both apps are appearing to be free in the App Store.
There were free versions of both apps before, but they only contained a few playable levels and were basically considered Demo versions. Both have been removed from the App Store, leading us to believe that the full free versions are here to stay.

For several days, a stray dog in Oconee County, S.C., has been running around with a metal pipe stuck on his head. According to Friday's KCTV 5 News, the dog has been suffering with the duct work on his head since at least Monday.
Fortunately, there is hope for the troubled stray - on Friday afternoon, the Upstate Animal Rescue Foundation stated:
Update: Veterinarians and experienced volunteers are working to try to help the dog with the vent pipe on its head. Please do not come to the area. We have the people and skills we need to work with this situation. The dog is very afraid, and extra people, noise, smells are not helping. This only makes the situation worse and the dog more afraid. We will update you as soon as we have news.
When and if the dog is successfully captured, the rescue agency hopes to get him to a veterinarian for care.

Apple's North Carolina Data Center Set for Operation Soon, Further Details Arise
- October 26th, 2010
- Apple News, Apple Rumour
- Alex Brooks
Apple's $1 billion data centre in North Carolina is to begin operations "any day now" according to a report from Data Center Knowledge. The report stated that the data centre is "fully operation" and that Apple could be planning to double the current size of the data centre in a nearby facility.
A second report from All Things Digital who continued to look into reports of Apple building a centre 500,000 square foot facility has turned up some interesting discoveries. A whole set of photos was discovered on Flickr that show plans from a meeting between Apple and Catawba County in July 2009. The plans reveal that the data centre is referred to locally and by Apple as "Project Dolphin" and in particular plans for "phase 2" exist. Although it is unknown if this facility will be used by Apple.
Some other website about the data centres has been online for some time. The website refers to an initiative associated [PDF] with Apple and Google known as the "North Carolina Data Center Corridor".

The drinking age in United States of America is 21 years old; however, there are a number of underage drinking that happens in the country according to the CDC.
The average high school student
• 39% drank some amount of alcohol
• 22% binge drank and some point
• 8% drove their car after drinking
• 24% rode with in a car with someone who had been drinking
Knowing these stats, what would you do if your high school age kid came home from school and said they learned to brew beer in school today. This is exactly what happened in a biology class at Ralston Valley High School.
The project which included a tour of the brewing process at the Coors Brewery was not to promote drinking; however, was made to have a deeper understanding of anaerobic respiration. The school has been doing this for the past eight years without any complaints, but this year parents are starting to question if there is not another way to teach the concept. What would you do?

The BCBG Max Azria pre-fall 2014 collection is inspired by utilitarian ideas using a grey, navy and dark color palette; pleated and boxy silhouettes; and mid-calf lengths indicative of early 20th Century fashions. The brilliance of Max and Lubov Azria is that the collection, while utilitarian in aesthetic, is quite light and soft in the signature Azria design. Skirts, parachute and column dresses are airy despite the heavy appearance of the fabric.
Dresses which looked trimmed in lace are actually a lace print. The effects of the prints are gorgeous patterns and elegant designs. Other fabrics are prints of an industrial pattern lending a heavier look than the actual garment. The pullovers are printed with a neoprene look but are light weight knits with high fronts, voluminous cuts which are layered over blouses and coupled with long flared skirts.
There were dozens of brilliant design surprises like a column dress with a short "winged" back or a column dress with a leather crop piece. The clever Azria design element was in every detail which will delight to the BCBG woman.
Check out part 2 of the BCBG Max Azria pre-fall 2014 collection in the slideshow. Part 1 is here. If the pre-season is any indication of what to expect for fall, the Lubovs are on track for a strong fall season.

Business growth is clearly leading the U.S.'s economic recovery. And yet a recent Gallup study asking Americans to rate the honesty and ethical standards of various professions found that the only ones ranked lower than businesspeople were politicians—specifically members of Congress.

- Type of Costs
- Ineligible Costs
- General
- PURPOSE. to discuss items included in equipment rental rates for state-owned equipment that qualify for federal reimbursement.
- PREAMBLE. As an aid to more effectively administer the payment procedures described in FHPM 1-4-5, "Reimbursement for Employment of Public Employees of Federal-Aid Projects" dated August 2, 1974, the following paragraphs describe items included in the States' equipment rental rate which are eligible for reimbursement.
- DEVELOPMENT OF RATES. Equipment rental rates are utilized by a State highway agency (SHA) as a uniform method to charge users of equipment for proportionate shares of costs of operations. Such rental rates should be developed to recover actual costs of ownership (depreciation) and operation only. Federal-aid participation is limited to actual costs properly allocable to and incurred for the benefit of a project. Methods used to develop these rates may be through the use of clearing accounts, separate rates for each piece of equipment or by class of equipment, separate rates for direct and indirect costs, or a combination of either method. Thus the method used will vary between SHAs.
- Direct costs are those which are incurred for the benefit of and associated with a specific piece of equipment or class of equipment. Examples of direct costs are depreciation, fuel oil, grease, tires and tubes, repair labor costs, repair parts and similar costs.
- Indirect costs are incurred for the operations as a whole or are otherwise not associated with individual pieces of equipment. Examples of indirect costs may include cleaning supplies, shop repairs and maintenance, insurance premiums, utilities, small tools, and similar costs. Indirect costs are allocated to the benefited equipment or other rental base through the use of an equitable and reasonable proration method such as a percentage of equipment usage, percentage of direct costs charge, or any other method which will make an adequate cost distribution.
- A summary listing of generally accepted participating costs follows; however, it should be understood the listing is not all inclusive.
Direct Costs Indirect Costs May be Direct, Indirect or Administrative Non-participating
- Fuels
- Oil
- Grease
- Repair Parts
- Mechanics' Labor and Fringe Benefits
- Depreciation - Equipment
- Lubricants
- Cleaning Supplies
- Small Tools and other Expendable Supplies
- Shop Repairs and Maintenance
- Insurance Premiums
- Utilities
- Unassigned Shop Labor
- Shop Foreman Salaries and Fringe Benefits
- Depreciation - Shop Equipment, Buildings, Plant
- Parts Room Expense: Labor and Fringe Benefits, Supplies and Upkeep
- Other Labor Costs - Unassigned
- Clerical Costs
- Office Supplies
- Miscellaneous Office Expenses
- Travel and Per Diem
- The type of organization of a SHA may affect the eligibility of certain costs for participation. For example, if the equipment division or unit is an integral part of another operating division or department, employees may also be performing functions for other than the equipment operation. In such instances only costs incurred for the equipment operation would be chargeable and eligible for participation. However, if the equipment division or department is a separate and distinct unit, costs are more easily accounted for and distributed since most costs are incurred for benefit of the equipment operation function.
- General supervision and administrative costs are generally not eligible for participation and can be included in rental rate development or otherwise charged to equipment operations only to the extent described in paragraph 4d. Therefore, it is evident that where a separate and distinct equipment unit exists, a greater proportion of these costs may be allocable when compared with an operation which is a part of another department or division.
- General administrative, supervisory, and overhead costs incurred for the benefit of the overall general operation, and responsibility of the SHA such as a superintendent or other department head normally acting in a management or administrative capacity. (Salaries and fringe benefits.)
- Support services for (a) above such as secretarial and clerical salaries and fringe benefits, related office expenses, travel and per diem, etc.
- Interest and other financial costs, including interest on loans or other borrowed funds to finance operations, purchase equipment, or parts and any legal or other professional fees incurred in connection with such loans or borrowed funds.
- Contingencies, reserves or similar type factors which have been set up to provide for unforeseen events.
- Fines or other penalties resulting from violations of, or failure to comply with Federal, State or local law and regulations.
- Depreciation costs are computed over the estimated useful life of the asset based on original costs after deducting any estimated salvage value. The inclusion of factors in computing depreciation for inflation, increased costs of replacement, or for comparable reasons is not allowable.
- Questionable or unusual costs should be discussed and their eligibility determined by the Federal Highway Administration Division Administrators.

My parents have recently bought a MacBook Pro after previously using a Windows XP machine. They have their email (provided by their ISP) stored in Microsoft Outlook (I think it's 2003), and the mail is no longer on the (ISP's) server.
What is the best way of transferring all the email messages across to the Mac? Happy to use something like Thunderbird as the new email client if that makes things easier.

He got wonderful A-level results this summer. He's putting in applications for university. He's going great guns."This domestic turn in the conversation prompts Thompson to get out a photo album and start showing me her wedding pictures. "Do you think this is too personal?" she says in an American accent. There's Mike Nichols, who gave her away: "He's funny and dry and clever. Everything you would want in a father figure really." There's her sister, Sophie, and her two sons (one of whom kept saying, "I wanna go home"), and Sophie's husband, Richard Lumsden, also an actor, and "Im and Jim" (actors Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter). There's Gaia, grinning, and Greg and Emma, looking ravishing. And across the room from them in the photo is a picture of Thompson's parents getting married."I do think I am enjoying being alive very, very much," Thompson says. "It's just lovely getting older. You know, I don't worry so much about myself really. I feel as though now there is no time for any of that, there's no time to kvetch about who you are, what you mean. That sort of self-doubt belongs to when you're younger." Emma's Very Lucky LifeThompson impresses upon me how fortunate she is. Last year, she was filming in the United States, playing a tortured writer ("not much of a stretch, frankly!" she says, unable to resist making a joke) alongside Dustin Hoffman, Will Ferrell, and Queen Latifah in Marc Forster's Stranger Than Fiction. She admits she could move to Los Angeles any time because she's one of the few British film stars to have made it big. "There aren't many of us really. There's Kristin [Scott Thomas], who lives in Paris. There's Judi [Dench]." Instead, Thompson lives on the street where she grew up, surrounded by actors "who make a living, people you might know or not know."Before I leave, Thompson takes me across the street to say hello to her mother, and we stand on the sidewalk for a little while. Phyllida waves around an invitation to a fancy party, and Thompson makes a big gesture suggesting that she wants to go too, when her attention is caught by someone passing in the street. It's just a woman with a stroller, weighed down by shopping and children. "Three children. And one on the way," Thompson says, noticing a detail I hadn't. She's silent for a moment, then she adds, in a perfectly matter-of-fact way, "Lucky thing."Originally published in MORE magazine, February 2006.

National Park Service personnel surveyed Santo Domingo State Park for inclusion in the new national park system, but misinterpreted some very important pieces of evidence.
Excerpt from the latest book by Richard L. Thornton: © Fort Caroline, the Search for America's Lost Heritage. The contents of this article are copyrighted by the book's publisher.
The famous botanist and explorer, William Bartram, visited what was described as an old French or Spanish fort on the Altamaha River in 1773. Bartram was shown the ruins by a plantation owner living on Broughton Island in the Altamaha River of Georgia. His visit is described in "Bartram's Travels."
During the 1930s, many 16th and 17th century European artifacts were found by archaeologists, employed by the WPA, in the black alluvial soil and river bottom muck around the mouth of the Altamaha River. They were particularly abundant on the grounds of the new Santo Domingo State Park. It was adjacent to the Altamaha's South Channel, where Interstate 95 crosses over a bridge.
The artifacts included a wide range of metal tools, weapons, ceramics, ornaments, etc. Broken dinner plates and eating utensils of 16th century French manufacture were found. The archaeologists assumed that these items had been imported by Spanish missionaries. No one even considered that they might be standing on the ruins of Fort Caroline (1564-1565.)
Most tools were iron, but curiously, bronze axes and weapons were found. Bronze axes were not utilized in Europe after around 500 BC. Inexplicably, the National Park Service archaeologists interpreted them as "tools and weapons lost by Spanish explorers on the Georgia coast." They may have been from Iberia, but they would have arrived on the coast at some point in time before 600 BC.
Residents along the mouth of the Altamaha River considered the earthworks next to the confluence of the Altamaha River and Six Mile Creek to be the location of a 16th century French fort or Spanish fort. Actually there are two fortifications in the vicinity. They thought that nearby tabby ruins were of the Spanish mission, Santo Domingo de Talaje. The actual mission site is closer to the ocean. The abundance of 16th century and early 17th century European artifacts in that area seemed to confirm their traditions. While virtually no 16th century artifacts have been found in the mouth of the St. Johns River, they are commonplace in the Altamaha River Delta. Illegal poachers, using metal detectors, are still pilfering the many ruins along the South Channel.
The nation's earliest state parks
In 1826, the State of Georgia created the first state park in the nation. A 640 acre tract around Indian Springs had been granted to Creek Indian mikko, William McIntosh, as part of the bribe for him persuading several minor Creek leaders into signing the illegal Treaty of Indian Springs. When McIntosh, most of his sons and the sons of United States Indian Agent, Benjamin Hawkins, were executed for giving away all of the Creek lands in Georgia (except their own plantations) Georgia seized the Indian Springs tract and declared it a state park.
Cator Woolford (1869-1944), Atlanta businessman, civic leader and philanthropist, founded the Retail Credit Company (the precursor to Equifax) in 1899. In 1934, Woolford donated 350 acres of land along the South Channel of the Altamaha River in Glynn County for a state park around the earthworks and nearby tabby ruins. It became one of the nation's earliest state parks, after the one at Indian Springs.
The new park was the site of the Elizafield Rice Plantation in the mid-1800s. Immediately to the south was the Hofwyl-Broadfields Plantation. The old Brunswick-Altamaha Canal ran through the western part of the tract. The ruins of an old rice mill were also on the property. Historians at the University of Georgia and state officials in Atlanta assumed that the tabby ruins were those of Mission Santo Domingo de Talaje. Therefore, the donated tract was named Santo Domingo State Park.
According to a documentary film produced by the fledgling National Park Service in 1939, Santo Domingo became one of the first state parks in the United States. The park was designated to be the museum facility that would focus on Georgia's Spanish occupation period. While the State of Georgia utilized CCC workers to develop the park, the newly created National Park Service agreed to analyze the tabby ruins on the site to determine their identity and age. Officials in Washington were considering the acquisition of the property as a national park or national monument.
Georgia built a museum at the park in the form of a "Spanish Inn." It contained exhibits of the many European artifacts found on and near the site . . . something that is completely missing at Fort Caroline National Memorial. Many Native American artifacts have also been found along the South Channel of the Altamaha, including a dugout canoe found on the Elizafield Plantation. They were put on exhibit. However, none of the artifacts were curated by professional archaeologists, who were qualified to evaluate Early European Colonial Period objects. The large quantity of the artifacts suggests that at one time the location was densely populated.
The state also built walking trails and bridges over tidal creeks and a lagoon. The trapezoidal earthworks on a bluff overlooking the lagoon were interpreted by National Park Service archaeologists as being a fortified Indian village or perhaps something connected with rice cultivation. However, the earthworks were never excavated by the archaeologists . . . only legions of artifact collectors, decade after decade.
Shortly before World War II, the National Park Service sent the State of Georgia a letter in which it determined that the tabby ruins were what were left of a sugar mill from the late Colonial Period or early Federal Period. After the acquisition of the Louisiana Territory in 1803, relatively little sugar was produced in Georgia. The archaeologists did very little excavation around the tabby ruins. However, where they did dig, they found that artifacts from many cultural periods were endemic.
Georgia officials lost interest in Santo Domingo State Park after receiving the National Park Service report. Today, an 18th century sugar mill would be an interesting focus for heritage tourism, but it had nothing to do with the Spanish occupation of Georgia. The earthworks, rice mill ruins and early 19th century canal were completely forgotten, when politicians evaluated the assets of the park. Rather than re-name the park to something more appropriate to its assumed 18th and 9th century heritage, state parks officials decided to close the facility in 1945 and look for alternative uses for the site, now considered insignificant.
In 1946, Santo Domingo State Park became a state-owned orphanage, known as Georgia Boys Estate. Dormitories and a chapel were built. Artifacts were moved out of the museum. The location of these artifacts, particularly the ancient bronze tools, remain a mystery. The Spanish Inn became the offices of the orphanage. Over time the lush WPA installed landscaping disappeared.
In the mid-1950s, a native of Marietta, GA, General Lucius D. Clay, became the director of the planning process for the Interstate Highway System. It soon became known that Interstate 95 would be crossing the Altamaha River in the vicinity of Georgia Boys Estate. By the early 1960s the right-of-way was designated immediately west of the Brunswick-Altamaha Canal and the orphanage. The roadways were constructed between the triangular earthwork and the smaller trapezoidal earthwork. They were apparently protected because they were assumed to be either Native American villages or irrigation ponds for the adjacent rice fields. Unfortunately, the archaeological survey for this section of I-95 is missing.
During the period of interstate construction, Georgia needed the grounds of the Georgia Baptist Children's Home in Hapeville, GA for expansion of the Atlanta Airport. Georgia deeded the portion of Boys Estate east of the I-95 right of way to the Georgia Baptist Convention. The portion of the tract west of the I-95 right of way was sold to the Sea Island Company, which planned to bulldoze the triangular earthwork and construct a resort. This never happened. The Sea Island Company went bankrupt in 2010. A real estate holding company that picked up the South Channel tract first planned a resort then decided that the economy would not support such a development at this time. The land is for sale.
Near the end of a seven year long study of the South Atlantic Coastal Plain, a Native American researcher in the People of One Fire discovered the passage about the "ancient French or Spanish fort" in "Bartram's Travels." Within a day, the probable locations of Fort Caroline and Fort San Mateo were found on infrared maps provided by the Glynn County, GA government. A copyrighted report on the discovery was published nationally, but received little notice in the mainstream media.
Three months later, the People of One Fire researchers were astonished when Florida State University mass-distributed a press release which gave credit to two "University of Florida history professors who are experts on Spanish colonial architecture" for the discovery of Fort Caroline's true location on the Altamaha River. Speaking at a conference at FSU, the two quoted the People of One Fire report verbatim without giving due credit, but placed the location of Fort Caroline closer to the ocean. One was actually a retired anthropology professor, who specialized in women affairs and African cultures. The other, according to his LinkedIN bio, is the computer system manager for a wholesale pharmaceutical company in Atlanta.
With the publicity provided by FSU, the couple was able to otain funds to hire archaeologist, Fred C. Cook, in order to dig at the locations nearer the ocean that they suggested. No evidence has been found to date. However, they are digging in the general vicinity were the Spanish built two small forts to protect Fort San Mateo from large warships. They may eventually find the footprint of one of these forts.
America does indeed have a secret history . . . even in the news that you read today.

GAME CAPTAINS: Alabama's game captains for the 2012 home opener were seniors Chance Warmack, Carson Tinker and Quinton Dial. Western Kentucky won the toss and elected to defer the opening kickoff.
ALABAMA IN HOME OPENERS: With the win over Western Kentucky, the Alabama football team is 98-16-3 all-time in home opening games. UA lost its very first home contest, a 4-0 defeat to the Birmingham Athletic Club in 1893. From 1904-48, the Crimson Tide compiled a 43-game unbeaten streak in home openers, including two ties and two missed seasons due to World War I (1918) and World War II (1943). Since 2004, UA has played its last nine home openers in Bryant-Denny Stadium after capping off the Legion Field era with a 40-17 win over South Florida on August 30, 2003. The Crimson Tide has won 11 consecutive home openers dating back to a win over Middle Tennessee State in 2002. Under head coach Nick Saban, UA has won all six home openers. Alabama's last loss in a home opener came in 2001, falling to No. 17 UCLA, 20-17. *Four of the 97 wins in home openers have been vacated by NCAA rulings.
TIDE 51-3 UNDER SABAN WHEN LEADING AT THE HALF: Alabama defeated Western Kentucky, 21-0, on Saturday. With the victory, Crimson Tide is 51-3 when leading at halftime under head coach Nick Saban.
OUT IN FRONT: Alabama has made a habit of getting out early and playing with the lead. The Crimson Tide has not trailed after the first quarter in its last 16 games, starting with the 2011 Capital One Bowl against Michigan State. During those 16 games, or 960 minutes of game action, UA has trailed for only 25 minutes and 12 seconds, which means the Tide has held the lead or been tied for 934 minutes and 48 seconds. UA's only loss during that stretch was to LSU last season in overtime of a game that Alabama had led or been tied until overtime. In fact, Alabama has not trailed in regulation since a 3-0 deficit at the 2:26 mark of the first quarter against Tennessee last season. That streak spans parts of eight games, which totals 467 minutes and 26 seconds.
ALABAMA UNDER SABAN IN SEPTEMBER: Alabama has been very successful in the opening month of the season under head coach Nick Saban. Now in his sixth season at Alabama, the Crimson Tide sports a 22-2 record in September following the win against Western Kentucky. Since 2008, Alabama is a perfect 19-0 in September games.
ALABAMA'S TV RECORD: Alabama has compiled a 193-126-4 all-time record in 323 televised games. This does not include pay-per-view, tape-delayed or closed circuit telecasts.
AGAINST NONCONFERENCE OPPONENTS UNDER SABAN: With the victory over Western Kentucky, Alabama improved to 23-3 against nonconference opponents under head coach Nick Saban. Alabama has now won 16 in a row against out of league opposition. Over the Saban tenure, the Tide has outscored those opponents, 979-302.
QUICK STRIKE: Alabama opened the game with a Christion Jones touchdown reception just 1:53 seconds into the contest. The touchdown was the quickest score for the Crimson Tide to start a game since a Darius Hanks touchdown grab at Duke on Sept. 18, 2010, just 1:19 in the game. The quickest score last season came on a Michael Williamstouchdown, 3:05 into the game.
MCCARRON PASSES WITHOUT AN INTERCEPTION: AJ McCarronequaled Freddie Kitchens for the sixth-most consecutive passes without an interception in UA history. McCarron entered the season with 95 straight passes without a pick and finished the season-opener against Michigan with 21 attempts and added 19 attempts against Western Kentucky, bringing his total number of consecutive passes without an interception to 135. This is McCarron's second run in this particular category as he went 152 straight attempts last season before throwing an interception. Brodie Croyle's mark of 190 consecutive attempts without an interception remains an Alabama record.
FIRST HALF SCORING: Alabama has helped its own cause over the last few seasons by not trailing while entering the locker room at the half. The Tide has either held a lead or been tied entering the intermission in 22 straight games. Over that span UA has outscored the opposition 408-90. The last time the Tide trailed at the half was at South Carolina on Oct. 9, 2010.
SCORING STREAK CONTINUES: With its first touchdown of the game at the 13:07 mark of the opening quarter, Alabama raised its current total of games in which it scored to 144. The 144 straight games mark the longest streak in program history.
TOUCHDOWN TANDEM: Alabama receivers Kevin Norwood and Christion Jonesare the first tandem in over 60 years to catch two touchdowns each in the same game. The two touchdowns were career firsts for Jones while Norwood hauled in his second and third career TD grabs. Back in Nov. 11, 1950, versus Southern Miss, seven touchdown passes were thrown; three were caught by Al Lary and two by Ed Lary, in a 53-0 rout.
MCCARRON EQUALS CAREER HIGH: Alabama junior quarterback AJ McCarrontied a career high with four touchdown passes in the win against Western Kentucky. McCarron became the first quarterback in school history with multiple four touchdown passing performances. In his last five games, the signal-caller has thrown 12 touchdowns with no interceptions.
FORCED FUMBLES: The three forced fumbles in the first half for the Crimson Tide defense are the most in a single game since the season opener against Western Carolina on Sept. 1, 2007. Alabama forced two fumbles three times last season and has now forced a fumble in four of its last five games.
GROUND DEFENSE: Limiting opposing running backs to less than 100 yards is nothing new for the Crimson Tide. Alabama has surrendered only 10 individual 100-yard rushing games dating back to the 2005 season, a mark that leads the nation. Since head coach Nick Saban'sarrival, the Tide has allowed just five players to rush for more than 100 yards in a game.
FIRST HALF DEFENSE: With Western Kentucky unable to get on the scoreboard in the first half, the Crimson Tide has now allowed seven points or less in 18 of its last 19 first halves of play.
10 POINTS OR LESS: Under head coach Nick Saban, the Crimson Tide has held opponents to 10 points or less 34 times since the start of the 2007 season. Alabama was successful in holding opponents under 10 in 13 games in 2011. In 2010, the Tide held opponents to 10 points or less eight times and limited opponents to that mark seven times in 2008 and 2009. In 2007, Alabama posted two games in which it held opponents to that mark. Alabama has shutout the opposition seven times during the Saban tenure.
HOLDING OPPONENTS UNDER 300: In head coach Nick Saban's69-game tenure at Alabama, the Crimson Tide has limited the opposition to less than 300 yards of total offense 41 times, or 59.4 percent of the time.
NEXT GAME: Alabama hits the road for its first Southeastern Conference matchup of the season next week when it heads to Fayetteville to take on the eighth-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks. The game will be televised on CBS with kickoff slated for 2:30 p.m.CT. The Crimson Tide has won the last four meetings and leads the overall series 12-8, however the game will be the 23rd between the two programs as Alabama had to forfeit one game and vacate another two due to NCAA rulings.

Now we are learning more about the 'priorities' of TennCare Director Darin J. Gordon. According to the Chattanooga Times-Free Press , these 'priorities' (whatever they may be) have prevented parents of new babies with serious problems from getting health care to pay for the special care they need. Moreover, these problems magically appeared with the Affordable Care Act. Could it be that our state officials really do not want this liberating program for ordinary citizens to succeed?
Up until January 1, state officials were present at every hospital to help new parents process temporary applications. After January 1, these unfortunate parents were referred to the healthcare.gov site, which, according to Tricia Brooks of the Center for Children and Families at the Georgetown University Health Policy Institute, WAS NEVER INTENDED TO PERFORM THAT FUNCTION. (Babies do not have the Social Security Numbers necessary to interact with healthcare.gov.) TennCare officials state they have "chosen to focus on other priorities in complying with the Affordable Care Act."
"State officials also say they are taking time to create a system that will not put taxpayers on the hook for coverage that may not be necessary." God forbid the State of Tennessee should pay for anything that is not absolutely necessary!
This tender concern for taxpayers' money seems contradictory for hard-hearted TennCare. The 18,000 baby cases resolved by pressure from the Tennessee Justice Center and others also involved taxpayers – and their dangerously ill babies. "On every single call, I told them what was wrong with him. They knew how serious it was," remembered mother Mindy Morgan. The situation is equally serious for more than a quarter of a million Tennessee citizens who may lose access to primary care if 80 Community Health Centers in the state close, as is possible next year.
TennCare Director Darin J. Gordon's expertise is in the budget, finance, and administration area of Medicaid, as is fitting for an appointee of a governor who wants to make sure the poor 'have some skin in the game'. Neither of them ever seem to have walked a hospital ward or visited the waiting room of a community clinic.
