Conviction of Concord junk dealer over raw sewage dumping affirmed
During the search of 180 Clinton Street, a DES investigator, who is also an expert in subsurface systems compliance, observed liquid on top of the defendant�s septic system and a garden hose attached to a sump pump that channeled untreated brown water from the septic tank, bypassing the leach field and discharging liquid in the direction of the Turkey River. The investigator tested samples of the liquid in the hose and the soil beyond it and found fecal contamination.

Smoking or chewing tobacco makes many people feel good, even mildly euphoric. It's the nicotine that produces the buzz. It's the most widely used drug in the world.
sometimes when i smoke i get hard - thats not good for surfing
also, don't become the guy that has to smoke to do something
be the guy who smokes to do nothing when all is done
Stay away from that nicotine man, that sh!1z no good for you and will kill you. Only smoke, vaporize or eat good, organic chronic.
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joint at night
I smoke two joint in the afternoon
It makes me feel all right
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more
Daddy he once told me,
"Son, you be hard workin' man"
And momma she once told me,
"Son, you do the best you can"
Then one day I meet a man,
He came to me and said,
"Hard work good and hard work fine,
but first take care of head"
I know what you mean when you say you dont feel the cold. I'm the same way. Cigarettes are not what I'm talking about either. But now I am. Cigs are just nasty, smoked for a year and more than happy I quit those ****ers!
there are many things in my life that go better with weed, but surfing is not one of them. obviously, it's different for others, but for me, being high just doesn't enhance my surfing experience. it's kind of like the waterproof mp3 players that came out a few years ago - i love music and thought about getting one, but concluded surfing just doesn't need it. same thing with getting stoned while surfing - the rush is already there. it ain't broke, so why fix it?

NFL Week 14: Playoff Predictions
With only four weeks of football left, the race for the NFL postseason has finally reached the home stretch. The range of NFC playoff scenarios is surprisingly limited this season: Seattle will likely own the top spot and get home field advantage throughout; San Francisco and either Carolina or New Orleans will provide the wild cards; and Detroit will likely cruise to a North title, considering the Bears and Packers have injured quarterbacks.The last true race in the conference will be between the Eagles and Giants for the NFC East banner and the only remaining playoff spot.
The AFC, however, is wide open. Kevin Clark and Geoff Foster break down which team, Denver or New England, will get home-field advantage and which team that is currently .500 or worse can sneak into the sixth seed in the conference that is up for the taking. Plus, they give their Week 14 upset picks.

Electric heating bills are expected to go up five percent this winter and many families are trying to find ways to save. News 12 is on your side with some electric billing options that may save you some cash.
Many families are deciding to go with a billing program that is customized just for them. That way they have no surprises on the amount of their bills every month.
Georgia Power offers two billing options. First, budget billing is used to reduce large differences between your monthly payments. For example, budget billing takes your average over the past 12 months in order to get your monthly payment. If your average is $65, that is what you are billed for the next twelve months. However, if you use more than $65 per months, you'll be charged that at the end of your 12-month agreement. Basically, you still pay for everything, it's just at the end of 12 months is when you will be charged the difference if there is any.
You'll never be surprised with this type of bill. Based on your past electric usage, flat bill will give you your new payment and that's what it will be for the next 12 months no matter how much you use and at the end of 12 months there are no fees.
In both programs there is no cancellation for 12 months. If you do cancel before your time is up, you will be penalized a fee.
Other companies like Jefferson Electric offer levelized billing and senior citizen billing. Also SCE&G offers similar options.
If you just want to find ways to cut back without special billing options, the Department of Energy's website has a list of ways to save on energy as best you can. And you can click here to download a list of agencies in town that provide energy assistance.

Unsound politics threaten oil, gas future
February 3, 2013
CHARLESTON — The outlook for new jobs created in West Virginia as a result of booming natural gas production from the Marcellus formation is, as many sources have pointed out, "hopefu....
To Suttle: Well Said.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The oil and gas industry must demonstrate that they will do no harm to our communities. Carping about their tax rate and healthcare generates little sympathy here. Too often the oil and gas industry has shown itself as a bunch of selfish cowboys who come in from out of state and take what ever they can that resembles oil and gas; leaving West Virginians with little or nothing to show for it but poisoned water and false promises. The oil and gas industry has all too often spoken with forked tongue.

Hagerstown police arrested Dwayne Allen Smith, 39, no address given, on Thursday for strong armed robbery at 16 West Side Ave. in Hagerstown.
Smith forcibly took cash and prescription medicine from a family member, according to police, who did not list a time for the incident. When officers arrived at the residence, they determined there had been an altercation.
Smith fled the scene prior to the officers' arrival, according to police. He was arrested without incident when he returned to the residence later that day.

The tools, rules, and relationships of the workplace illustrate some of the enduring collaborations and conflicts in the everyday life of the nation. The Museum has more than 5,000 traditional American tools, chests, and simple machines for working wood, stone, metal, and leather. Materials on welding, riveting, and iron and steel construction tell a more industrial version of the story. Computers, industrial robots, and other artifacts represent work in the Information Age.
But work is more than just tools. The collections include a factory gate, the motion-study photographs of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, and more than 3,000 work incentive posters. The rise of the factory system is measured, in part, by time clocks in the collections. More than 9,000 items bring in the story of labor unions, strikes, and demonstrations over trade and economic issues.

Railroad Station Baggage Handler's Cap
- Description
- This cap, ca. the 1950s, is characteristic of such caps seen at railroad stations throughout North America from the 1920s till about the 1980s. The cloth appears to be silk, which gives a sheen to the cap's fabric; silk was not unusual for red caps.
- This cap was used by an employee of the Canadian National Railway, a fact that in no way detracts from the cap's relevance to U.S. railroad history or to African American history. U.S. and Canadian railroads in fact have operated as a seamless, interchangeable rail network from the late 1890s to the present day, and the Canadian National, in particular, historically owned rail lines operating in Michigan. The Canadian Pacific Railway historically owned lines across Maine. Employment conditions for "red caps" at Canadian terminals were identical to such conditions at U.S. depots.

Louisville & Nashville Railroad Porter's Cap
- Description
- The cap is has a stiff crown and flat circular top with a short visor. A black braid stretches across the visor and is attached to the hat by buttons on each side of the hat. It has a badge on the front with the Louisville and Nashville Railroad logo, L&N and the words TRIAN PORTER. On each side is a button with the initials L&N.
- This particular porter's cap was owned by Mr. Henry Taylor, a porter for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad from the 1940s through the 1960s. Mr. Taylor worked aboard the L&N Railroad's coaches on overnight trains, assisting passengers. Sleeping cars assigned to L&N overnight trains were operated by Pullman, and so the porters on those cars worked for Pullman, not for the Louisvile and Nashville Railroad.

NYSE Trading Glitch Caps Year of Snafus for Exchanges
By Chris Dieterich
Rival exchanges briefly stopped sending orders to the New York Stock Exchange as the Big Board experienced trading problems with more than two dozen stocks Monday.
The glitch, which was quickly resolved, came in the last hour of trading in a year that has been marked by technological glitches large and small.
NYSE said in an alert to traders at 3:19 p.m. EST that its equity market was experiencing an issue with one of its engines that matches "buy" and "sell" orders and that 26 issues were affected, including BBX Capital Verso Paper and TransAlta
A subsequent alert sent at 3:23 p.m. EST said the issue was resolved. A spokesman for the NYSE, part of NYSE Euronext, couldn't immediately provide details of the trading problem.
BATS Global Markets and Nasdaq OMX Group each declared "self-help" against the NYSE. Exchanges can declare self-help when another market appears slow to respond to incoming orders or if the flow of information to and from the exchange is disrupted. Both exchanges began routing orders back to NYSE within 15 minutes.
The problem arose with less than an hour's worth of trading left in 2012, a year that has seen other notable technological problems.
Facebook troubled initial public offering in May left many investors initially wondering whether they owned stock. Bad software at Knight Capital Group in August triggered errant stock orders that amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for the firm.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Tennis programs will host the Third-Annual Islanders Open starting Friday evening in the first-ever event at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. The men's and women's tennis programs will host individual from Houston, Lamar, UTSA, Abilene Christian and the top two junior colleges from the final rankings last year, Laredo Community College and Tyler Junior College, in a full singles and doubles draw.
"We're incredibly honored and excited to host this tournament for the first time ever at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center, our home tennis facility," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "It is very much a landmark event and with a facility like this, we plan on making it a great weekend.
"This is a very proud moment for the islanders with their first official event in this incredible facility."
Action will kick-off on Friday evening at 5 p.m. with two rounds of doubles. The draw will feature a 16-draw in doubles with eight first-round matches and a 32-draw with 16 matches in the opening round for both men's and women's competitors. There will be a consolation bracket for players who do not win their first-round match.
On Saturday and Sunday, play will begin at 9 a.m. each morning and run throughout the day. Admission to the tournament is free and all fans are welcomed to come out and cheer on their Islanders.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi's fall season is their non-traditional season for individual play. Returning players and newcomers to the team will get a chance to get re-acclimated to playing against other collegiate players before the start of the team seasons in the spring.

Scott Isaacs is reporting on Twitter that the Celtics earlier plan of staying home and having their training camp in Waltham has been changed. Reports are that they will once again return to Salve Regina in Rhode Island, where they have held training camp for the past 2 years.
This comes in the aftermath of the Miami Heat's announcement that they are traveling to my neck of the woods to hold their training camp at Eglin Air Force Base. I'm wondering if Danny changed plans because of continued pressure from Pierce or because he started thinking that he didn't want to get the blame for not moving camp if they didn't come out of the gates strong.
The Celtics are scheduled to have five days of practice at Salve Regina from Sept. 28 to Oct. 2. Media Day is scheduled for Monday, 9/27 in Waltham. Their first preseason game is scheduled for October 6 in Manchester.

11 Responses so far.
Wait I thought Paul DIDN'T want to go to Rhode Island?
FLCeltsFan says:
Paul wanted to go farther than RI. Then Danny said camp would be even closer, in Waltham. And when he did that I can see Paul going with the "At least let us go back to RI." It's kind of like the old story where you call your kid and they say that they have been arrested for murder and after you freak out, they say, not really, it was just shop lifting and you are happy because it wasn't murder.
JR says:
For those keeping score at home that would make Waltham equal murder. ;)

More Yazoo City seniors pass state exam
85 students failed after first attempt
Published 8:17 AM CST Mar 08, 2013
School district leaders said Thursday that more seniors will graduate from Yazoo City High School.
Last week, 16 WAPT News reported that 85 students were not going to get their diplomas because they failed the state exam. School officials said many of the students had been chronically absent, but also admitted problems at the staff level.
Since then, 20 of the 85 students have passed the state exam and school officials said they're working hard to get the remaining 65 students ready to take the test again on March 19. The troubled school district is offering weekend tutoring.

News 12 This Morning / Thursday, July 19, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A student at the Medical College of Georgia at GHSU is putting thousands of dollars in grant money toward more research in predicting a deadly infection. The research could help save the lives of hundreds of patients.
At just 21 years old, Puja Chebrolu is the proud recipient of a student research fellowship handed out to only 47 medical students across the country. Chebrolu was awarded $5,000 to forge ahead with her project.
"If we find something significant, a lot of people can use it," she said.
The grant money helped Chebrolu look through the world's largest federal database in kidney failure information.
With the help of an epidemiologist and kidney specialist, she's trying to help predict why some patients get infected with something called bacteremia.
"Bugs have always interested me," Chebrolu said. "So the bacteremia part really drew me in. It's a very expensive infection to treat, and it's very lethal as well."
She says it can be a hard disease to catch, but by looking at different factors like whether the patient has diabetes or if they've have Hepatitis C, she's hoping to find a common thread in the last three years of data.
"It turns out that hepatitis is fairly common in dialysis patients, and it looks like it maybe a risk factor for bacteremia," said Dr. Stan Nahman, a nephrologist.
Finding the pattern could help doctors save more lives. That's why Chebrolu has spent most of her summer examining the data compiled from hospital databases.
"We may be able to treat or address those conditions before the patients become bacteremic," Nahman said.
It all leads back to this 21-year-old's desire to help a large community.
"I want to have a career that intersects in public health with medicine," she added.
The database used for her research includes 600,000 patients and more than 13 million hospitalization records.

ALAMEDA -- The Philadelphia Eagles haven't exactly revolutionized offensive football, but Raiders coach Dennis Allen believes there is still plenty to worry about.
With an up-tempo, no-huddle offense imported by coach Chip Kelly from the University of Oregon, the Eagles (3-5) have scored just 10 points in their last two weeks combined.
"I look at the whole body of work, not just the last couple of weeks," Allen said. "This is an explosive offense that can put a lot of points on the board. We have to understand who we're dealing with."
With Michael Vick out with a hamstring strain, Nick Foles, having been cleared after a concussion, will start at quarterback Sunday against the Raiders at O.co Coliseum. He'll be backed up by rookie Matt Barkley, who struggled in back-to-back losses to the Cowboys and Giants.
It was precipitous fall from Week 1, when the Eagles generated a leaguewide buzz after running an incredible 53 plays and scoring 26 points in the first half of a 33-27 win over the Washington Redskins.
ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski proclaimed the Eagles had "changed the landscape of the NFL from a philosophical and schematic approach to how the game is played."
Vick told reporters "when the first quarter was over, I thought we were going into halftime ... the only thing I could tell myself is it's going to be a long season."
Eight weeks later, the Eagles have put up some impressive yardage totals but are tied for 18th in scoring at 22 points per game. The no-huddle offense is generating 67.8 plays per game, only slightly above the NFL average of 65.3.
The Eagles have the Oregon trait in that they don't have the ball for long -- their time of possession is second to last in the NFL at 25:30 -- but without the avalanche of points.
"I don't want to say it's a college game at the pro level, but it's a college theory -- get your athletes in space and let 'em make plays," Raiders linebacker Kevin Burnett said.
The Eagles have 45 plays of 20 more yards, the most in the NFL and five more than the Denver Broncos. They are tied for first with 37 passing plays of 20 or more yards and tied for second with nine touchdowns of 20 or more yards.
Running back LeSean McCoy leads the NFL in rushing with 733 yards, and wide receiver DeSean Jackson has 45 receptions for 673 yards and five touchdowns. Despite the limited time with the ball, the Eagles are fifth in total offense at 397.1 yards per game.
"They do some things from a tempo standpoint that can make it difficult on you," Allen said. "They do some things where the concept of the offense is really to spread the defense out and get their playmakers in space. Being a great space tackling team will be critical in this game."
With the Raiders having already faced no-huddle elements, including Denver's Peyton Manning and San Diego's Philip Rivers, Philadelphia's tempo shouldn't come as a surprise.
Defensive coordinator Jason Tarver, who coached against Oregon while co-defensive coordinator at Stanford, said: "There are so many people playing at this pace now. This is the trend at all levels of football, so we're equipped to get calls in very quickly. That's built into our system."
Even so, cornerback Tracy Porter hasn't forgotten what the Eagles did in the first half of their first game.
"They had a full game's worth of plays in the first half, so they're definitely up-tempo, slightly more up-tempo than normal no-huddle teams," Porter said. "It's going to be a task, but if we can stop those guys on third down, it's going to limit the snaps the have."
Watson, the Raiders' second-round draft pick this year, might be active as a backup tackle. He has yet to play in a regular-season game.
"Physically he looks like he's ready to go," Allen said.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
Acai Black Tea
Chinese black tea leaves blend with Brazilian superfood Açai (ah-sigh-ee) berries for a fruity, full-bodied brew. With a flavour reminiscent of blueberries and notes of chocolate, açai berries come from the Amazon rainforest.• 4 oz. loose tea in bag • 1 rounded tsp. per 12 oz. cup • Makes 35-40 cups
Medium black leaves, red berries
Ripe, sweet wild berry and marshmallow
Amber liquor
Soft honey mouth-feel with prominent berry notes
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness. This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused. Hot and iced tea brewing instructions are listed below.
Hot Tea ::
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil or to 205 F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Prepare Mighty Leaf teas using a teapot, paper tea sachet, infuser or traditional brewing methods. Use one rounded teaspoon of loose herbs and fruit per 12 ounces or cup of water.
Infusion Time
Pour boiling water over tea leaves. Keep teapot covered to retain heat. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 5 - 7 minutes.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Iced Tea ::
A stronger brew is required for iced tea than for hot tea because of ice's dilution action. Prepare a tea concentrate as follows:
Single Serving
For a single serving, prepare as for hot tea, use one rounded tablespoon of loose tea per 12 ounces of water and after brewing pour over ice.
Large Serving
1. For a larger serving, prepare a iced tea concentrate by bringing one quart of cold water to a rolling boil in a tea kettle.
2. Remove from heat and add 8-10 teaspoons per quart of brewed tea.
3. Steep 5 - 7 minutes or to desired strength.
4. To serve immediately, pour over ice in a tall glass, or add another quart of cold water to the concentrate and chill in refrigerator.
China, South America
Health Benefits
Açai berries have been picked and eaten by the indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforest for their potent health benefits.
Enjoy Açai Black with a fruited scone, shortbread or soft cheese.

FAU Puts 'Jesus Stomp' Teacher On Leave
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 9:41 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 9:41 p.m.
Florida Atlantic University has placed on leave an instructor who had students stomp on pieces of paper with "Jesus" written on them as part of a lesson.
The school said in a statement Friday that Deandre Poole was put on leave for safety reasons and to prevent disruption of the university's activities. The statement says Poole will not teach classes, keep office hours or be present on campus.
The lesson involved having students write "Jesus" in on the paper and then stomp on it after a period of reflection. They were then told to talk about how that made them feel.
News of the lesson provoked a strong reaction, including a request by Gov. Rick Scott that university officials investigate.

Wednesday's letters: Community's generosity
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 3:24 p.m.
At the recent "Santa in the Garden," a free event at Hatcher Garden & Woodland Preserve, we witnessed firsthand the generosity of the Spartanburg community. The event had a twofold goal — to give children the opportunity to meet and have their photographs made with Santa Claus, and to collect donations for the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen. It was a great success on both levels.
More than 450 people, with 135 individual families registering, attended the free two-hour event Saturday in the garden. They generously donated money as well as more than 500 food items to benefit the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen. In addition, 14 dozen packaged cookies were donated to the Soup Kitchen and the Children's Shelter.
Events such as this let us know how much Spartanburg cares, and Hatcher Garden is proud to be part of such a caring community. The event would not have been a success without the help of our local media in promoting it, the work of tireless volunteers in preparing for and managing the day's activities, and Spartan Photo Center, which donated the time and materials for each child to go home with a complimentary photo with Santa Claus.
Hatcher Garden is proud to be a part of a community that cares and opens its heart and its pocketbook to help others at this special time of the year.

Separate fact and fiction
Noel B. Swain "doth protest too much." In his Dec. 3 reply to a letter I wrote that mildly chided him for his tone, he nitpicked that he never uses name calling in his letters. To speak of any president of the United States in the same breath as a warlord is name calling. Moreover, it is rude.
Furthermore, it appears that Mr. Swain did not finish reading my reply. Was he "fulminating" by the end? There, I did indeed mention the letter about which he was making his comments: "Granted, Mr. Swain could argue that he was only replying to a frontal assault in a previous letter."
At least readers get a mostly temperate letter from Mr. Swain, and one filled with advice to boot. For example, he suggests that my "knowledge of language" should prevent the verbal indiscretions that so displease him. I suggest that Mr. Swain more rigorously separate fact from fiction.

The continued media silence in Wales over the Alastair Eykyn story about the WRU's undermining of Alun-Wyn Jones' status with the Ospreys and ongoing 'harassment' of a RRW employee on an 'almost daily' basis would, in ordinary circumstances, be one of the most curious developments in an extremely curious affair. However, when it comes to the Western Mail and BBC Wales, it seems less like the curious incident of the dog in the night time and more like the curious incident of the lapdog.
The first time I had a decidedly ominous feeling about the rigour and fullness of Welsh media coverage of the dispute came last year when, in the coverage of a RRW press conference criticising the frustration of the PRGB, regional ire was directed at Westgate Street. "I sum it up with the words power, control, divide, conquer, wipe-out," said Peter Thomas. "That is the agenda for certain people across the way."
Now, the first inkling for consumers of Welsh media that these incendiary sentiments existed would have occurred on the twelfth of never. These remarks were simply unreported, despite the fact that these were easily the most headline-friendly comments in the whole press conference. They were reported in the Guardian and were found nestled in an unedited youtube clip of the press conference available on regional websites but, ultimately, the Welsh media declined to report them, let alone lead with them.
Of course, one instance can be attributed to editorial prerogative as to what is newsworthy or journalistic incompetence, with the latter in no short supply in the Welsh media. However, since then, a pattern of omission has emerged which means that it is no longer feasible to construe missing the power-control-divide-conquer-wipeout story as the isolated missing of an open goal.
Thomas was at it again in the Rugby Paper from the 5th January, in which he ventured the opinion that: "There is a desire within the regions to work with the WRU but there is no appetite from the regions to work with Roger Lewis. We have no confidence in him."
Again, perhaps the most headline-friendly and incendiary comment of the entire affair went unreported. In light of this, perhaps it was unsurprising that the Welsh media would also decline to publish the other claims in the report, namely that the WRU has been conspiring to centrally contract Welsh players and play them in England.
But hey, perhaps they didn't get the Rugby Paper delivered that week. And perhaps it's a co-incidence that renowned Welsh rugby expert and intellectual giant Jeff Probyn was invited to air his views on Radio Wales a day after espousing pro-WRU sentiments in that very same edition of the Rugby Paper.
Unfortunately, it seems that the reticence epidemic is spreading. The WRU declined to invite any members of the press to their pre-6N squad naming today, preferring to retreat behind the inviolability of an email to the media corps.
Given the furious criticism the regions received from luminaries of the Welsh media (such as Andy Howell, the man who looks like Alexander Pope but doesn't write like Alexander Pope) for having the temerity not to include their superstar players in a pre-Christmas joint press conference, the decision of the WRU to soft-sell the upcoming Six Nations with a letter from the table of the Politburo will surely attract the most frightful savaging in the Welsh media. Right?
Or, 'food for thought?' as per the parlance of Welsh media's most fearless little lapdog.

NHL GMs have a knack for overpaying blueliners on the free agent market. Just look at what happened last July.

By tinkering with their roster at the right time of year the Penguins may have found a new way to stay competitive each season.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are on fire; 10-1-3 since interim coach Dan Bylsma took over Feb. 15 from the fired Michel Therrien. Pittsburgh's run has the team firmly – or as firmly as any club not in the Eastern Conference's top three can be – in the playoffs and even threatening for home ice in the first round after a suspect start to the season.

Bringing back the 39-year-old blueliner for a second tour of duty solidifies the 'D' corps for a small price.
For 39-year-old defenseman Mathieu Schneider, it must have been like St. Peter calling his name over the purgatory loudspeaker. Atlanta traded the veteran of 20 seasons and a conditional draft pick (either a third-, fourth- or fifth-rounder) to Montreal on Monday for a second round draft selection in 2009 (which was actually Atlanta's to begin with, but was moved to Washington and then to Montreal) and a 2010 third round pick.

Perhaps it's time to change the focus of the fight debate to keeping our kids safe... and some happy thoughts on the ASG weekend.
I hate to harp on fighting in hockey. I know it has been addressed by many throughout the hockey world, including myself. And I know many of you are sick of the debate.
by John Grigg - January 20, 2009 2:20 PM UTC
The possibility of agitators and cheap-shot artists running amok has to be considered in the fight-removal debate.
I grew up hearing legends of players like The Rocket and Mr. Hockey; players who were the best of their time, but were tough as nails and took care of themselves.
by John Grigg - January 13, 2009 9:53 AM UTC
Having every team represented already makes getting every deserving player in the ASG tough and having fans vote only makes it worse.
The NHL has reached the tipping point with All-Star Game fan voting. It needs to be scrapped. Now. With the league insisting all 30 teams be represented, the game is already watered-down.

My Seven-Step Guide to Mastering Kickstarter. I Hope
5:22:27: That's how many days, hours and minutes I have left. On my Kickstarter campaign, that is.
Kickstarter is a relatively new crowdfunding platform, where everyone from comic book artists to inventors to playwrights can upload a video describing a fantasy project they'd love to make or complete, ask total strangers for help, and, if things work out, get the funding to achieve that goal. The catch is, whatever amount you ask for, you've got to reach it in 60 days or less—or you get none of the money that's been pledged already. It's kind of like "Survivor" for nerdy, artsy types like me.
In my case, I've been hoping to raise enough money to shoot my film, "Creedmoria," a heartwarming black comedy about a girl named Candy who tries to "break out" of her Queens, New York, neighborhood (and, well, from her family, too). And I've now got 5 days, 22 hours and 27 minutes left to do it.
While I can't say for sure whether or not I'll get there—hey, it's all up to the crowd. (Go crowd!)—I can share a few of the things I've learned since launching my campaign 54 days, one hour and 33 minutes ago. Here goes:
1) Don't plan on getting much sleep. As I write this, it's just passed 4 a.m., in fact., and I am straining to read my Kickstarter updates on my phone. "New backer alert!" it says. A friend of a friend has generously, unbelievably, pledged $50 toward my goal of $60,000. My face lights up brighter than the LED screen.
Every time I've seen a new backer announced — 132 times and counting — it feels something like Christmas morning. There is no name in the medical annals for this glorious state of gratitude, wired sleeplessness and the blurry, semi-hallucinatory vision that apparently goes along with 4 a.m. phone checks. The condition has lasted 19 nights, but I'm sure I'm not alone—to date, Kickstarter has helped fund over 30,000 projects. This will be a tough pace to keep up for 60 days. Just saying that makes my heart beat faster. My next online campaign will be to try to change the name of Kickstarter to Tickstarter.
2) Don't be a traq-addict. At the beginning of our campaign, we were "trending" toward reaching 165 percent of our goal, according to Kicktraq, a site that uses algorithms to create progress reports for your Kickstarter campaign, based on the pledges made so far. Plug in the name of your project and you'll get a glimpse of your future: whether to start doing cast calls for your feature debut or throw in the towel. When you're projected to reach 165 percent of your goal, you may think those algorithms are pure genius. I was absolutely convinced of it…until two weeks later, after a slow Thanksgiving weekend, when Kicktraq had us badly off the rails. It's all too easy to get caught up in the graphs and secret digital sauce. Just be wary of pushing that "refresh" button one too many times.
3) Ask for help. In the first week of my campaign, I found myself standing barefoot in front of my dance class on the upper west side. I don't teach the class, I take it. But my teacher had generously given me a moment to make my spiel. I stood in front of twenty women and talked about my dream of bringing the fun, quirky tale of Creedmoria to the screen. I asked for help and they signed up for my email with the Kickstarter link. The truth is, even if you don't get that many pledges, asking brings its own surprising satisfaction—and, generally, in a dance class, lots of hugs as well. I was exhausted before I made my pitch (see Lesson 1). Right after, I was hopping through every step.
4) Be demonstrative. At 3 p.m. yesterday, I raced to school to pick up my daughter and stopped to hug a mom on the way. The night before she had pledged $30 to my campaign. I was, and still am, a bit dumbfounded. We know each other, but you wouldn't say we know each other well. I scooped my daughter up and walked her home, my feet barely touching the ground. The crazy thing about Kickstarter is that, at least for the six seconds after each New Backer Alert, it looks easy. Pledges miraculously appear. Of course, it's anything but. Every one of those acquaintances and "friends of friends" who gives is taking leap of faith in you—believing enough in a kinda-sorta friend that they're willing to bank on it. So when you're thanking them—either long-distance by email or in person—hug them without any kinda-sorta restraint.
5) Implore your family to get on board and spread the word. The tagline of my movie is, "Family is an institution. Sometimes you gotta break out." And while I'm guessing millions of people feel that way, any Kickstarter hopeful might want to embrace just the opposite philosophy. A few days ago, I logged on my email and found that I'd been cc'd on a letter my sister-in-law wrote to 56 of her closest friends. The note was personal and written on my behalf. I can't tell you what it said without getting all mushy — but those heartfelt words got virtually all of those friends to pledge to the campaign within 24 hours. The good news is, I may reach my 60-day goal after all—those Kicktraq algorithms be damned! The bad news? I may have to rewrite that tagline.
6) When the going gets tough, get creative. Thanksgiving came and so did the tryptophan. My project took a snooze for two days. Not one backer. Ouch. That was to be expected, I was told. I was warned not to post a project during the holidays. On the other hand, people are clearly more in a giving mood!
It's taken a village to make this movie, and so far, I know most of the villagers by name. I've exhausted my long list of friends, family and every person I have ever met—even reaching back a few years to a trainer who evaluated my fitness level at the gym. To my amazement, she gave. Will my video, alone, be enough to entice someone who doesn't know me to my project? Will someone who is not a friend of my sister-in-law's, or who doesn't share the same DNA, back my film? I don't know. We made a fun video, specifically for Kickstarter, that (I hope) shows how resourceful we can be—we shot in 23 locations, using 15 vehicles, all of which we begged and borrowed from friends and strangers. And while the video has been viewed over 700 times, I know that doesn't quite qualify as "viral." So the challenge—even long after you launch your campaign—is to find a way to kickstart the enthusiasm. (Week after week. Yikes!)
Slice the turkey and pass the gumption! One idea a friend came up with was to do a Cyber Cinema Monday blitz. A relative, who sat across from me and the turkey, proposed to match any money that came in cyber Monday, dollar for dollar. So that meant spending the two days after Thanksgiving feverishly sharing the exciting news of the matching challenge on Kickstarter Facebook, Twitter and emails. I reached out to all twenty women in my dance class…again (sorry). I asked my sweet father-in-law for help with his long-lost chums (sorry). And I marveled as my Creedmoria video link started lighting up all over my friend's social media networks. The thumbnail of my face and my video stared back at me. The cyber Monday challenge galvanized the troops.
Monday came and with it the heralding cry of pledges. My phone started buzzing with email alerts. On Sunday night, I had 70 backers. By Monday night, the tally had risen to 102. With the matching challenge, nearly $3,000 dollars were pledged to the campaign in just one day. This time, it was my brother-in-law's amazing Facebook posting that brought in a boatload of backers. But so, too, did sisters of friends and friends of my sister sign on. I received a $1 pledge from a woman I never heard of. There's a wonderfully generous woman named Susan out there, who gave a ridiculously large gift. If only I knew who you are…or how you found out about my campaign. (Thank you, kind stranger.)
7) Finally, I've learned that I hardly know anything about this at all. I don't know how much pushing is enough and how much is too much. I don't know how to reach people I don't know or pitch people I do know who have weathered so many pleas before. My crew and I brainstorm for the next big idea. We have glossy fliers to hand out to people on the street—but is that over the top? Tomorrow, I'll approach my college alumni; the day after, attend my mother's AARP meeting. We are 30 percent of the way there which means we still have this far to go…twice more…and then some. Wow. (I wish I hadn't just done that math.) In the meantime, I'm just still amazed that I'm part of a grand 21st-century social experiment: a tiny part in an immense community-built filmmaking process—and I'm so incredibly grateful for it.
January 8th will prove if we made it or not. If I haven't made my pitch to you by then—or thanked you heartily enough for joining my campaign—I hope you'll forgive me. I haven't slept in days.

Definition of thaumaturge in English:
A worker of wonders and performer of miracles; a magician.
Example sentences
- The great Oz is not some mighty thaumaturge, he's just a funny little old man with a talent for special effects.
- Your mentor might not like you consulting other thaumaturges and perhaps passing on her trade secrets.
- Aspiring thaumaturges please note that your spells are notoriously unreliable and that even if you have reached the required magic level, they are still liable to fail from time to time.

- His Dialogues (whose authenticity has been challenged) inspiringly portrayed the Italian Church as ascetic, preaching, thaumaturgic, but episcopally controlled.
- I shall maintain that the Pantheon assumed a transitional or perhaps even a thaumaturgic role for the dead and for those who commemorated them.
- Example sentences
- Most of my thaumaturgical spells are simple rituals, which involve an incantation and fire.
- This does not mean (and it would be foolish to think so) that Latin and Greek, as such, have intrinsic thaumaturgical qualities in the sphere of education.
- Has anyone who regularly practices yoga (with the accompanying mantras and mudras) experienced any external thaumaturgical effects?

- At that time they were the only two known thaumaturgists living in Atlanta.
- A plant of true arcane power, mandrake has been used in a multitude of ways by witches, magicians and thaumaturgists for eons to many, many vastly different ends.
- Example sentences
- Some theurgical workings will incorporate elements of thaumaturgy, and divination may include necromancy while today's alchemist may bring in elements of all the other forms.
- The Greeks made a distinction between theurgy and thaumaturgy.
- People mainly seem to talk about him in the context of mysticism/philosophy rather than thaumaturgy/magick, in my experience - and the latter has plenty more sinister connotations, being linked to Witchcraft, Satanism, etc.
Early 18th century (as thaumaturg): via medieval Latin from Greek thaumatourgos, from thauma 'marvel' + -ergos '-working'.

I'm back in less than a week with a new episode. It was going to be a labor day special but after a few computer problems and other delays it's now more of a "belated" labor day special. On Friday night before a spectacular set I interviewed DJ HeavyGrinder, a DJ from LA that plays a heavy mix of all the electronic genres. I interviewed her at the Grasshopper Underground in Ferndale, which features local and nationally known DJs in an intimate setting. We spoke outside the club as a crowd gathered around us and later DJ HeavyGrinder took photos with anyone and everyone who gathered. At midnight she started her set and kept the people dancing and pumping their fists high for the next couple hours. Unfortunately, the DJ booth was tucked away in the dark so it was tough to get any good video of her amazing set. She's DJing all over the US so keep an eye out for her in your area.
You can see pics from the show at my flickr page.

Hey guys, first and foremost, love this program. IMO, this is by far the best media server i have used.
Here's the question. I just tried the trial verson of CoreAVC and I actually do see some improvements with the CPU usuage. However, i was always wondering if buying Purevideo Hd is worth it? Does anyone have it and have feedback on it? I heard it works wonders on nonHD gpu's, which i currently have on my laptop (HP dv9930us w/ 8600m gs gpu) I have this question because I don't think my cpu can handle 720p material b/c, last time i checked, both my cores were running at around 94% when i was transcoding an anime. So, anyone have experience with Purevideo HD? Thanks
Those that don't know about PureVideo HD and would like to learn more about it, here ya go: http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_hd.html

VALLEJO --"The Heat" has an enviable problem. She just keeps beating everyone.
Heather Hadley's nickname, stenciled along with her go-kart racing number, 54, on the back of her father's car, might seem a little hot to handle for a 10-year-old girl. That is, until you see her race.
Heather, who was born in Vallejo and spends her weekends here with her dad, has come up quickly through the ranks in her go-karting age group in the past year.
What began as a lark at her dad's request -- why don't you take a run around the course with this go-kart -- has progressed to the purchase of Heather's very own go-kart.
As the only girl in her Sonoma Raceway go-karting class, ages 8 to 12, Heather was champing at the bit to up the pace from the indoor driving speed of 20 mph. So, she moved outside at Sonoma, Dixon Speedway and other locations.
For more on the story, see the Vallejo Times-Herald at http://www.timesheraldonline.com/ci_22072194

The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical and family history. A physical exam will be done. The exam may reveal a goiter (enlarged thyroid), slow reflexes, dry skin, slow and hoarse speech, and/or a large tongue.
Your doctor may also do the following tests:
Blood Tests
—Blood tests measure the level of thyroid hormones and thyroid antibodies. The diagnosis of hypothyroidism is made if the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is elevated and the levels of T4 are low. This means that the thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone.
The presence of thyroid antibodies may also point to autoimmune hypothyroidism, such as
Hashimotos thyroiditis
. It is not needed to diagnose hypothyroidism. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is autoimmune thyroiditis.
Some blood tests done for other reasons may raise concerns about hypothyroidism (such as blood tests that show high cholesterol, anemia, or low sodium). These tests may require follow up appointments with your doctor.

So you've got your basic waterfowl gun and some well-selected nontoxic shotshell loads. (Hopefully your choices on these items were influenced by this column and others in this magazine.) What else do you need to hunt ducks and geese? In truth, not a lot. However, going past these basics, there are a few refinements and grace notes that might upgrade your shooting.
The first improvement to consider is one of those high-visibility, fiber-optic front sights. Usually seen (quite brightly) in orange or yellow-green, these little beauties collect and concentrate ambient light (diffused light that's already there) to really catch the shooter's eye.
OK, you're going to say that the shotgun should be pointed, not aimed, and the shooter shouldn't be searching around for the sights. That's exactly my point. These little "glow-in-the-dark" (well, nearly) front sights help your shooting by catching the shooting eye so you are instantly aware of the gun and its muzzle orientation and can immediately start focusing on and tracking the target as you should.
These sights are at their best on those cloudy, foggy days so often encountered while waterfowling. As any photographer can tell you, there's literally a lot more light out there than meets the eye on gloomy days, and these high-visibility sights can capture it to really speed up an accurate gun point.
After-market choke tubes? Well, this has an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" answer. If you have patterned your waterfowl gun with the specific nontoxic pellet you prefer and you like what you see, leave things alone. However, the one thing that many of the different nontoxic pellets seem to have in common is they can be pretty picky about choke constriction. And this isn't limited to the "whoop-dee-do" expensive pellets either. I've seen good old garden-variety steel perform erratically from standard chokes. Just to make things more interesting, I've seen different types of pellets perform poorly in one barrel and then "straighten up and fly right" when shot through another barrel marked as having the same degree of choke.
Sometimes a very small change, of only a few thousandths of an inch of choke constriction, can make a big difference in pattern performance. If you have one of those "anomaly" guns that shoots patchy or otherwise weird patterns, changing either your pellet type or choke can help. Today, you can get after-market choke tubes bored to just about any degree of constriction you want, and it is just a matter of experimenting until you achieve optimum pattern performance. (Avoid "super-full" turkey tubes. These are designed for lead shot only and some of the harder nontoxics, including steel, can cause problems in these extremely tight chokes.)

British alliance on ninja antibodies
03.04.2012 - London companies PolyTherics and Spirogen collaborate for better antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs) in the fight against cancer.
London – The buzz around antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs), the weapons of choice in the fight against cancer, just became more blatant. After last week's news that a novel ADC company had been founded in Switzerland PolyTherics Limited from London (UK) announced on 2 April that it would join in the treasure hunt for promising ADC candidates. Just like the Swiss ADC Therapeutics Sarl, London-seated PolyTherics relies on the cytotoxic agents provided by Spirogen Limited. The two companies want to combine PolyTherics' linker technology TheraPEG™ with Spirogen's potent cytotoxic pyrrolobenzodiazepines ("PBDs"). The aim is to connect PBDs via the new linker to antibodys or antibody fragments in a site-specific manner. PolyTherics CEO John Burt is enthusiastic: "This is an exciting opportunity to combine our validated conjugation technology with Spirogen's potentially best-in-class PBD warheads." Also Spirogen CEO Chris Martin is convinced the collaboration will bear fruit: "ADCs will represent a significant medical breakthrough in cancer therapy. PolyTherics' TheraPEG™ conjugation technology will broaden the applications where our PBD warheads and linkers can create highly potent potentially market-leading ADC candidates." Spirogen's PBDs are DNA minor groove binding agents, which bind and cross-link specific DNA-sites. They block cell division in the targeted (cancer) cells without distorting their DNA helix, thus avoiding the common phenomenon of emergent drug resistance.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-02/uk-alliance-on-ninja-antibodies.html

OAKLAND -- Jessica Russell, a 41-year-old half-marathon runner who has participated in running events from Oakland to Chicago, has seen hundreds of bands and crowds of thousands along race courses, but it's The Crucible's flaming arch at the Oakland Running Festival that is one of her all-time favorite race markers.
"The Crucible and the arch is sort of the beginning of what for me is the best part of the race, running down the beautiful Mandela Parkway," she said. "I don't know how far along in the race it is, what mile, but it certainly gives me something to look forward to."
The Crucible, a nonprofit arts center that holds fine and industrial arts classes, has been setting their propane-fueled steel arch on Seventh Street for runners to pass through for three years. It's a 12-foot-high sculpture that one or two runners can pass through at a time and it is designed in such a way that flames can surround the sculpture, but no one gets burned.
The arch is the work of Berkeley-based artist Michael Christian who is known for larger-than-life, playful sculptures that are the talk of major arts festivals like Burning Man and Coachella. One of his largest works is the massive "I.T." a 40-foot-tall alien-like steel sculpture with moving head and oscillating eye beam seen at Burning Man in 2005. More recently, Christian paired with fellow metal sculptor Orion Fredericks to create the futuristic spaceship DJ booth for electronic musician and six-time Grammy winner Skrillex's 2012 world tour.
The arch was made several years ago for one of The Crucible's large fundraising performances and features curly, whimsical designs along with its fire effects. It has taken on a brown rust with age.
"We're happy to provide it and provide support to the race," said Andrea Lundquist, events manager at The Crucible. "We're part of the last 10 miles of the race which can be the most grueling as I see in the faces of the runners as they run by. It's nice to be part of the spark, so to say, of their run. I think it's great we can provide some art, entertainment and excitement as runners get through the race."
Lee Corrigan, executive director of the Oakland Running Festival, said it's important for race organizers to make sure there is memorable entertainment along the race course for runners and fans. This year's festival will have 26 bands and DJs lining the course and small parties for the crowds that gather.
Every year after the race, he said, the organization does a post-race survey and The Crucible's flaming arch is the most enjoyed race No. 1 feature according to runners.
"It's not every day you get to run through a flaming arch, right?" he asked.
Russell has participated in the half-marathon every year since the Oakland Running Festival began four years ago. While she chugs along the course she looks forward to hitting that landmark, that one-of-a-kind sculpture that welcomes runners into West Oakland.
Then she gets to step through flames. Russell said she always makes sure to run through the arch under the watchful eyes of photographers so she can get a good photo of her efforts to complete the run.
"I love the whole race, but particularly this part really reflects the spirit of Oakland. The Crucible is a very interesting organization and I like that you can run through the arch and you're enjoying the race, but you're also celebrating the arts community in Oakland," she said. "Oakland gets a bad rap, but I always tell people to run this race because you get to see another side of the city and the real spirit of Oakland."
What: About 10,000 runners from 30 states and eight countries will compete in the fourth annual marathon
When: Sunday, marathon starts at 7:30 a.m.; 5k 7:45 a.m.; half-marathon 9:15 a.m.; kids run 9:20 a.m.
Where: Races start and finish at Snow Park, 19th and Harrison streets
Info: Online registration is now closed, but people may still be able to register at the Expo. Go to www.oaklandmarathon.com

Chickasaw National Recreation Area exists as a part of the national park system to provide for the protection of the area's unique resources, springs, streams, lakes and other natural features; to protect and interpret its cultural history, historic landscapes and structures; to commemorate the Chickasaw Nation; and to provide for public education, appreciation and recreational use and enjoyment of those resources. It was originally established as a national site on July 1, 1902 (32 Stat. 641).
The reverse image depicts the Lincoln Bridge, built of limestone and dedicated in 1909 to celebrate the centennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth. The bridge is the first constructed improvement in the national recreation area and a favorite scenic spot. Inscriptions are CHICKASAW, OKLAHOMA, 2011 and E PLURIBUS UNUM.

I'm using an iPad2 with AirAV, which is free (for the time being? run!) and recommended: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/airav/id480962404?mt=8
(looks like a free version of AcePlayer by the same author?)
It gets detected as an iPad and works fine. Everything gets rendered through MEncoder. Subtitles get rendered and playback is just fine, but I cannot jump to a specific time. The timer stays at 0:00, and the remaining time is always -0:00.
2nd try: temporarily removing ipad-iphone.conf and making an airAV.conf file. I simply duplicated the Airplayer one and changed the user agent to:
- Code: Select all
# UserAgentSearch: regular expression to detect the connected renderer.
# AirPlayer has been observed using the following user agents:
# User-Agent: AirAV/1.00 CFNetwork/548.0.4 Darwin/11.0.0
# Combined regular expression of working user agents
(I found the user agent on ipad-iphone.conf)
Ok, so now it doesn't go through MEncoder, and I can jump to a specific time and all is well and I weep with joy... but! No subtitles are rendered. The files get listed with the {External subtitles} string, but they don't get rendered. I understand MEncoder is needed for this? Also, I guess the curly braces thingie is just there to let me know it found a .srt file with the same name as the video.
So uh... there it goes. Any clue? Thanks, cheers!
