Ford Names Markets for Focus Electric, its First All-Electric Vehicle
A version of the Ford Focus Electric, the automaker's first all-electric car, is slated to go on sale in late 2011.
Ford Motor Company named on November 15 the first U.S. markets—20 cities—to sell its new Focus Electric when it debuts in late 2011. The Focus Electric's motor will be powered by a 23-kwh lithium-ion battery and will have a system that uses liquid heating and cooling system to maximize battery life and driving range. The Focus, Ford's first all-electric passenger car, is designed to travel 100 miles on a full charge. The initial markets include Atlanta; Austin and Houston, Texas; Boston; Chicago; Denver; Detroit; Los Angeles; San Francisco; San Diego; New York; Orlando, Florida; Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona; Portland, Oregon; Raleigh Durham, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; Seattle; and Washington, D.C. The automaker said the initial markets for the electric vehicle (EV) were picked because of criteria such as existing hybrid purchase trends, utility company collaboration, and local government commitment to electrification.
Ford will help to develop consumer outreach and education programs on EVs, and it will share information on charging needs and requirements to ensure the electrical grid can support customers' needs. In October, Ford launched a new educational Web site on electric vehicles, which includes information to help consumers learn about EVs. See the Ford press release and the Ford EV Web site.

Hey all!
MUNtor/MUNtee lists have just gone out over the listserv! Having a MUNtor is a great way to make a new friend (ideally one with a car or a gift card to Five Guys), get to know more people in the club, and even convince to come out and play for our intramural sports teams.
Not on the list? No worries – just e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, and all will be just fine and dandy!
Get together with your MUNtor/MUNtee by our next meeting, this coming Tuesday, September 21 at 7:30 PM. The two (or three) of you could even show up to club dinner together! 6:30 in Lodge 1 right before the general meeting – it's a hard one to refuse.
Make the most of this opportunity – these MUNtors are some of the coolest people on campus, and moreover, they're there to help. So get on Facebook, stalk the heck out of them, and then when you realize they "like" Wall-e too, it can be "the start of something new."
If they're making High School Musical references, you may want to shy away…

Congress returned to work Tuesday with a hefty pile of post-election homework to tackle. But first, a pop quiz: What is the best possible way to avoid the impending fiscal cliff?
If the Republican-controlled Congress and President Barack Obama fail to reach a bipartisan alternative, tax cuts are set to expire and a broad spectrum of spending cuts are set to automatically take effect Jan. 1. The combination would result in a sudden reduction of the national deficit, pushing the deficit over the so-called fiscal cliff.
On the surface, a smaller national deficit does not seem so bad. However, the Congressional Budget Office linked the event to an increased risk of recession in 2013.
"Our disposable income is going to go down. They have estimated that an average family's tax burden may go up between $400 to $4,000 a year," said Jacqueline Khorassani, professor of economics at Marietta College.
Adding to that problem, trust in legislators will be diminished if they fail to come up with a solution, something the U.S. government can not afford to happen, she said.
"Just the fact that they could agree on something, it increases our trust in our government. That credibility is something that eases consumers' minds," she added.
Fact Box
The fiscal cliff
Term refers to the sudden reduction in the national deficit which will take place if Congress and President Obama do not enact new laws by Jan. 1.
If they do not, the Budget Control Act of 2011 will take effect.
It will discontinue Bush-era tax cuts and simultaneously mandate across the board spending cuts, including big cuts to the national defense budget.
The Congressional Budget Office predicted that if the nation do go over the so-called fiscal cliff, a recession is likely.
Source: Times research.
In the end, a solution will come down to the ability of both Democrats and Republicans to make concessions.
For their part, Democrats want to see the expiration of the tax cuts for those in the top tax brackets.
"I think they understand the people that are the top 1 or 2 percent need to pay a little bit more in taxes...The people who want to continue more tax cuts who are already deca-millionaires don't believe that, but responsible people in the business community do and that is most of the business community in Ohio," said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio.
Brown said his long history of reaching across the political aisle makes him well suited for the task at hand. He pointed to his work with John Thune, R-South Dakota to propose legislature that would cut 20 billion dollars in direct payments to farm subsidies.
"Those are the kinds of things that should be part of the cuts we make," he added.
At the state level, Ohio Sen. Lou Gentile, D-Steubenville, will not directly be involved in the talks to avoid the crisis, but he said he is concerned about the effect the situation could have on Ohioans.
"My concern is deep posterity measures could impact us here in Ohio if these deep, deep cuts to defense go into place," he said.
According to the Budget Control Act of 2011, which mandates the deep budget cuts if no alternative is reached, defense spending will be significantly affected, meaning fewer paid soldiers.
"I think there needs to be a good balance between reasonable spending cuts that will not further hurt our economy and some consideration for going for more revenue in asking people at the top to pay their fair share," said Gentile.
But increased taxes are something that Republicans have balked at in previous negotiations. Obama's most recent budget proposal of a $1.6 trillion tax hike on corporations and the wealthy over the next decade was double the amount that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, had offered last year.
Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, agreed that tax hikes are not the way to go.
"I'm not so convinced it is a revenue problem as it is a spending problem," he said.
He also pointed out that if Congress and the President do not reach an agreement, the expiring tax cuts will not just affect the wealthy.
"Under this plan the Bush tax rates expire. Virtually everyone who pays taxes, their rates will go up," said Thompson.
It's a scenario that Congressman Bill Johnson, R-Ohio, also hopes to avoid.
"That lowest tax bracket, the 10 percent tax bracket is going to rise to 15 percent. That's a 50 percent increase in their taxes," he said.
For Johnson, the solution lies in increasing revenues through job creation and letting the American people keep more of what they earn. And he is prepared to do what it takes to see that solution come to fruition, he said.
"I can tell you that we are going to be here. We are going to fight hard to see that it gets done. I'm hopeful that the President and the Senate also see the value in coming to the table and doing what is best for the American people," said Johnson.
The American public is not so hopeful. According to a new Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll, 51 percent of Americans said they do not believe the President and Congress will reach an agreement by the Jan. 1 deadline. And state legislators on both sides of the aisle agree that Congress has a duty to get the job done.
"Congress has to get along here. I recognize that this is a bitter presidential election, but folks just have to work together," said Gentile.
Added Thompson, "My sense is we pay our senators and representatives pretty handsomely to do their job, and we need to ask them to do their job. They need to step up to the plate."

News 12 at 6 O'clock, September 2, 2009
AUGUSTA---September's Time To Care Award winner is Emily White. She is a high school senior who has a real passion for helping others...and not just on her own campus.
Emily White is a lot of things. She's a high school senior who organized a weekly lunchtime Bible study for students. She's been a team captain for Relay For Life. And she works as a tutor on campus.
We surprised Emily at the photography studio, where she works after school. For most teenagers, being a full time student and having a part time job is enough. Not so for Emily.
At Christmas she volunteers at Augusta Urban Ministries, filling food boxes for 700 families.
"Just knowing that one box that I fixed is going to make somebody's Thanksgiving meal is just so rewarding," Emily told us. "To know that they could have been eating cereal for dinner, but they're because I packed that box."
That's where Rick Herring noticed Emily's passion for giving. He heads up the ministry.
"And Emily came down and as we were filling food boxes, I started hearing her story and her level of maturity just astounded me and her servants heart was really what knocked me out," Herring says.
That focus on others leads Emily on all kinds of missions. Even a hot summer day can inspire a random act of kindness.
"Me and my buddies got together and made about 40 bag lunches and just took 'em to downtown Augusta and passed 'em out with bottles of water and said- 'here you look hungry, here you look thirsty' and just handed 'em out to people all day. Emily continued, "just things like that are so much fun to see people smile and know that it's because of something you did."
What would this young Time To Care winner say to other teenagers who are watching about plugging into their community and getting involved?
"I would just say in today's society there's just so much focus on Hollywood, what you look like and who your friends are. And so it's going to be better for you and others if you wake up now- and realize it's about who you are and how you can help others. Because that's why we're here.
Emily White doesn't do it for the awards, but they just keep finding her. Back in June, she was honored by The Girl Scouts as a Young Woman of Distinction. And she's also had some pageant success too. But this is a beauty queen with brains and a big heart
"Everything I do in the community, I don't do it to be rewarded for. I don't want people to look at me and say 'good job' because I feel rewarded just by doing it and putting smiles on people's faces."
Look for more big things from Emily White. After high school, she's hoping to go to The College of Charleston with plans to become a teacher, or possibly a lawyer and maybe even hold political office one day. And she's already making a big difference as a high school student.
And of course, we want to thank our Time to Care partners who make this award possible: Subway, The Taylor Auto Group and Troy University. If you want to nominate someone for our Time To Care Award, you can do that on this website.

Strap a set of skates onto what looks like a small Sunfish without a keel and you're set to step out on the ice, catch the wind, and cruise quickly across the frozen Dillon Reservoir.
Ice boating is a popular sport in Wisconsin - which happens to be where the newly retired Greg Kastorff lives when he's not spending the season in Summit County. He drives a Keystone Lodge shuttle when he's not waiting for snow and was a newcomer on Tuesday to Summit County's ice boater crowd.
Though there's a lot of ice high in the Rocky Mountains, ice boating isn't as common. That's because, generally, the deep freeze is followed by heavy snowfall.
Which is exactly what happened last year.
The informal group of adrenaline junkies didn't have any sort of ice boating season. Quite literally, not a single day was good for sailing on ice.
This year, though, they're among the few who are excited about the sunny weather and clear, blue skies. In fact, they've been enjoying the clear ice since last Friday, when it got thick enough to safely withstand the weight. Without snow, the ice is friction-free and great for sailing (and ice skating, hockey and broomball). But it doesn't last long. Just two inches of snow is enough to make the ice boaters put away their crafts for the season, as there's too much friction.
"When the ice is there, you better be ready to go because it might not be there long," Kastorff said. He's waiting for snow, too - after all, that's why he's here this season - but the ice boating suffices during the wait.
"With as crummy as the snow is, this is great," said Dan Burnett of the Summit County Rescue Group.
The ice currently at about 6-8 inches, and so clear it's possible to see to the lake bottom - some of the best ice returning Team Summit coach Tim Seeling has seen in his six years ice boating.
Seeling came to Giberson Bay on Tuesday with two boats he rebuilt himself. He, Burnett, Mark Svenson and Rich Cotter make up the core group, and welcome newbies to try out the uncommon sport in the High Country. Like Jim Oberriter, who saw the fun and stopped by to see what it was all about.
"It has some giddy up and go," Oberriter exclaimed as he exited a boat he sailed across the frozen lake himself. "That is some sort of fun, mister."
All the men on the lake Tuesday had smiles as wide as the lake seemed while standing on its frozen waters. They seemed drugged by the thrill of racing across the ice at 30-plus miles per hour, sometimes reaching 50 with gusts. It's possible to go four times the wind speed, Seeling said, adding he's gone faster than 80 mph in his crafts.
"You pull in the sail and it takes off like a rocket," Kastorff said. "There's no engine noise. It's very cosmic."
For Burnett, it's addicting.
"I've never tried heroin," he said thoughtfully, "but I imagine it would be like doing heroin."
He started ice boating when he was 12, living in Denver. He hung out with Colorado boaters, who also boated on ice in the winter.
"I hung around with them and I'm still hanging out with them," he said, adding that many of them were - and still are - sailing experts.
Cotter, for instance, has won the Hobie World Championships, and Svenson has won many classes of boating on Dillon Reservoir.

Location: Genetic Improvement of Fruits and Vegetables
Project Number: 8042-21000-273-05
Start Date: Aug 01, 2012
End Date: Jul 31, 2014
Advanced breeding selections and newly released potato varieties from State and Federal potato breeding programs will be entered into these National Late Blight Germplasm Evaluation Trials. These, along with known late blight differentials and standard check varieties, will be grown in replicated trials at several locations and evaluated for disease reaction at weekly intervals following either the first occurrence of late blight or inoculation with Phytophthora infestans. Area-under-the-disease-progress-curve will be calculated and analyzed. Trials are conducted at several locations to maximize exposure to different growing environments and possible variations in the pathogen population. This allows the data to be subjected to stability analysis.

Message from officer wounded in shootout with Boston bombers
The bullet will remain in my leg as it is not obstructing anything or causing any pain. However my wife has informed me that the bullet will ultimately cause her the most pain, as I will be using it to get out of things such as mowing the lawn, doing laundry, and painting the deck.

5 Ways Europeans Live Better than Americans
Whenever I visit Europe — whether to explore a few former Soviet bloc countries or to take a 2,000-mile driving trip through Italy and Switzerland's Ticino region — I'm always struck upon "re-entry" into the U.S. by how BIG everything is here at home.
We drive big cars, especially here in Colorado, where every other vehicle seems to be an SUV. Our cars have big cup holders for our venti Frappucinos and Big Gulp sodas. We live in big houses that we furnish with stuff we buy at big-box stores. Our big refrigerators – and often an extra freezer – are crammed full of food we purchase at big supermarkets. And, alas, we ourselves are big, and getting bigger: According to the American Heart Association, more than 70 percent of American adults are overweight, and of those, nearly 38 percent are obese.
Europeans clearly do things differently from us. Yet their 'smaller' lives seem in many ways richer and fuller. I've begun to notice some of those differences that we might do well to consider. Here are five that really struck me:

"Suits" (9 p.m., USA):
In the season finale, Harvey (Gabriel Macht) and Mike (Patrick J. Adams) clash with a tenacious U.S. Attorney, while Mike and Rachel (Meghan Markle) have different ideas about the future. Sounds like a lot of unhealthy friction to us.
"The Crazy Ones" (9:31 p.m., CBS): Mork (Robin Williams) and Mindy (Pam Dawber) are back together again! The old pals reunite -- nearly 32 years after their sitcom ended, to which we say, "Na-nu na-nu."
"Scandal" (10 p.m., ABC): With the election closing in and his campaign stalling, President Fitz (Tony Goldwyn) considers ignoring Olivia's (Kerry Washington) advice. Um, Fitz, we'd advise against that.

Nvidia Unveils Next Weapon in Smartphone Chip Wars
Nvidia has been on a long-term campaign to move its chip franchise beyond graphics for personal computers into the faster-growing market for mobile devices. So far, it's had better results in tablets than smartphones–but Nvidia has a new weapon to change that.
The Silicon Valley company on Tuesday is providing the first details of a chip called the Tegra 4i, which addresses a key technology gap.
Smartphones, while they are becoming powerful pocket-sized computers, also need to communicate wirelessly. There's also not much space inside them, so handset makers often prefer chips that combine computing and communications on the same piece of silicon.
Qualcomm helped pioneer the market for such products–called SoCs, for systems on a chip–and has built a big head start over rivals in offering the speedy fourth-generation technology called LTE. Several competing companies–including Broadcom, as well as Nvidia–are using next week's Mobile World Congress to show off their first products to address that shortcoming.
Nvidia's 4i uses a novel technology it acquired through the purchase of a startup called Icera. Rather than building in dedicated modem circuitry for the radio-related functions needed to move among various LTE and 3G networks, the 4i allows them to be configured using software instructions.
Such a "software-defined" radio, or SDR, is designed to be adaptable to work on different cellular networks or frequencies–even after smartphones are in the hands of users.
"Everyone has always felt an SDR would be the holy grail," said Phil Carmack, the senior vice president in charge of Nvidia's mobile business unit. "They want to be as adaptable as possible."
Nvidia says the cellular circuitry takes up less circuitry on its new chip than on competing products. Partly as a result, Nvidia says the Tegra 4i is about half the size of Qualcomm's comparable chip and significantly faster. (Size matters to chip makers, since smaller chips are less expensive to manufacture).
Qualcomm, in remarks during and after the recent Consumer Electronic Show, has made equally optimistic claims about the performance of its S800. So have Samsung, Intel and Imagination Technologies; the latter's technologies are used in processors designed by Apple and others.
The Tegra 4i is based on the same basic design as the Tegra 4, which was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show and is mainly aimed at tablets. Nvidia expects the smartphone version to arrive in commercial handsets toward the end of 2013.
Sometime before that analysts and publications are likely to do performance tests that should provide some independent analysis of which chips will actually be the fastest and offer the best battery life. But there's no debate that more competition is coming.
"We will have to see side-by-side when we have some devices," said Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategies. "On paper it looks good."
Much of the action for processor makers may be outside the U.S., Moorhead says, because Apple and Samsung account for much of that market and design their own chips. He said Nvidia was smart to build the 4i with support for a cellular standard popular in China.
"That is where they could make some serious inroads," Moorhead says.

A man from North Carolina is walking the nation with a cross to spread his message. News 12 caught up with him today to find out where he's heading and why.
He's been the talk of the town in Aiken this morning as the sight to see down US 1.
"I was wondering what he was doing with a cross and a puppy in the middle of the highway," said Natasha Smith.
"I didn't know what to think," said Shirley Padgett.
Some may call it a leap of faith, but Jeffrey Stanley likes to think of it as a mere step.
"Lord woke me up one night and asked me to carry a message across the nation to go out and wake up America and ask people to turn back to God, that's our only hope," said Jeffrey Stanley.
Bearing this massive cross on his back, his traveling buddy by his side, no map in hand and not a penny in his pocket, Jeffrey Stanley says he's well on his way.
"I haven't asked for nothin', my every need is provided for just like His word said," Stanley said.
Walking all the way from the hills of North Carolina, Jeffrey says he's going on day 30 of his life on the road. With the exception of the average person's immediate reaction…
"Sheriff's pulled me over, police saying there's a crazy man walking down the street with a cross," Stanley said.
Most of his experiences with the people he's met have been positive.
"Most of them stop to thank me so glad to see someone stand up for Jesus again," Stanley said.
Taking it one day and one step at a time all the way to the west coast.
"I don't know, that's what he said, he said I'd be there in a year and I'd do a TV campaign when I got there, I don't know I'm not rich and I can't afford that," Stanley said.
And no concerns on how he'll make it there just heeding the advice of a bumper sticker.
"It says 'With God all things are possible,' and I wouldn't have made it this far without Him," Stanley said.
Taking up his cross on a journey of faith.
His destination may be California, but he still don't know exactly where he'll end up.

Guest director Jessica Magers-Rankin is going with a fresh take on "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," the next Oak Ridge Junior Playhouse production. She is setting the traditional magical tale in a contemporary urban setting which will allow young audiences to connect to it more easily.
Presented at the Playhouse by B&W Y-12 and drawn from an ancient Greek myth, "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" transports us to a world where being good is not always easy. Inspired by a bewitching cat in the Sorcerer's workshop, Klaus, a lazy apprentice, tries to use his master's magic to do everyday chores. Soon he unlocks more magic than he imagined possible. Both Klaus and the Sorcerer must learn to use their magical powers as they struggle with the good and evil at their command. Their struggle reminds us there are always consequences for our actions.
"The most important message of the story," says Magers-Rankin, "is one of choice, the incredible capacity everyone has for good and evil, and how each individual must decide for himself or herself how to act." She encourages her talented group of young actors to explore the message of the story and consider their own stories unfolding in their lives and the world around them.
Cast members include Walter Billingham, Jaden Lily Branson, Micha Haas, Sarah Jane Myers, Madeline Mixner, Lauren McCoig and Savannah Ward. Stage Manager is Chris Gillenwaters with Caroline Bradshaw as assistant stage manager.
The entire family will enjoy this highly theatrical and spirited escapade that opens Saturday, Oct. 6, with 1 and 4 p.m. showings. You may also see the show at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7. Tickets may be purchased at the performance or online at www.orplayhouse.com. Prices for all seats are $10. Children under the age of three are not admitted.
This production is made possible through support from WUOT 91.9 FM, the Arts and Culture Alliance of Knoxville, and the Tennessee Arts Commission.

We have discovered multiple genetic sources of nematode resistance in carrot germplasm. In this project we will confirm the strength of the resistance, intercross best resistance, produce ample seed for extensive field testing, and release best resistance to the public, especially growers and seed companies. We will also evaluate horticultural quality including field performance traits (color, shape, uniformity) and consumer quality (flavor and nutritional value), hold field days for the carrot production community, and confirm genetic models of resistance in mapping populations.

According to a NASA press release, the space program governing body lost communication with the International Space Station this morning around 9:45 AM EST. While the situation sounds frightening, NASA made sure to note that the communication breakdown happened during a routine onboard software update, and that the flight crew was able to make contact with Mission Control Houston when the station flew over Russian ground stations before 11:00 AM EST:
The primary computer that controls critical station functions defaulted to a backup computer, but was not allowing the station to communicate with NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellites. Mission Control Houston was able to communicate with the crew as the space station flew over Russian ground stations before 11:00 a.m. EST and instructed the crew to connect a backup computer to begin the process of restoring communications. Expedition 34 Commander Kevin Ford reported that the station's status was fine and that the crew was doing well.
Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield tweeted this from about the ISS around 1:45 AM EST:
Presumably they were prepared for this sort of temporary lapse, and everyone's going to be fine.
Update: Communication systems have been restored as of 12:34 PM EST.

What Stars Are Tweeting About That Jodie Foster Golden Globe Speech
Jodie Foster won the internet last night with her speech at the Golden Globes–and now the stars are reacting on Twitter.
Foster, accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her career achievement, gave a speech about the need for personal privacy that was both focused and rambling, funny and sad, and made you really want to take a peek at the admissions essay she wrote for Yale. "I am not Honey Boo Boo Child," she declared at one point.
Um, we never thought you were, Jodie.
It's hard not to like Foster for her independent spirit and fierce screen performances, but her Golden Globes remarks were a bit like a show bizzy version of SNL's Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation with at a Party.
Or maybe her words were some sort of brave sexual confession/declaration of privacy.
Your call. People are going to analyze this speech like it's the final episode of "Lost."
The one thing everyone can agree on is we all would like to look that fit at 50.
Here's what stars had to say about Foster's remarks.
The Hollywood hypocrisy is complete: Jodie Foster accepts her Lifetime Achievement award at The GG's and then demands PUBLIC PRIVACY…

Once removed from the pods, fava beans are blanched to remove their thin but tough outer skins. This simple recipe lets their flavor shine.
Bring a large saucepan 3/4 full of water to a boil. Add the fava beans and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking. To remove the skins, pinch each bean on the side opposite where it was attached to the pod; the bean should slip easily from the skin. Remove and discard the outer skins. Set the beans aside.
In a large saucepan with a tightfitting lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds; don't let the garlic brown. Add the fava beans and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer, shaking the pan gently from time to time, until the beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and the pepper. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve immediately.
This recipe is one of 150 recipes collected in "The New Mayo Clinic Cookbook," published by Mayo Clinic Health Information and Oxmoor House, and winner of the 2005 James Beard award.

Hanukkah starts December 8, so to get ready we thought we'd share a simple way of personalizing your gifts by making your own wrapping paper. It's a great craft for all ages. I especially like that doing this craft with children shows them how the gift-giving process is equally as fun as receiving. This craft can also be adapted and personalized for the person who is receiving your gift, by creating or painting special designs on the paper, using ribbons, by tying a candle onto the top or even attaching a bag of gelt for the children. We picked up a Star of David cookie cutter with which to make our wrapping paper. Celebrate the Festival of Lights by giving your friends and family a gift wrapped from the heart!
– Blue acrylic paint
– Large sheet of paper or recycled paper grocery bags, cut open on all seams to lay flat
– Hanukkah cookie cutter or foam sponge
– White ribbon (optional)
– Scissors
– Tape
1. Cut down one side of the grocery bag down and then cut the bottom of the bag off. 2. Squeeze your paint on a paper plate. Make sure to spread the paint to accommodate the size of your shape.
3. Begin stamping onto the paper in whatever pattern (or non-pattern) you like best. We let the paint dry for 2 hours before using, just to be safe.
4. Wrap your gift as you would normally. We put a white ribbon and a Star of David gift tag to complete our gift!
It's that simple! Let us know what you think about this craft by commenting below. We truly appreciate your feedback!
Another fun twist to personalize the prints on your paper is to make your own stamps. Get sponges at the dollar store, draw a shape on them when they are dry and cut them out using a craft knife or scissors. You can use a stencil or just draw free-hand, just remember that bigger bulky shapes work the best.
How are you celebrating Hanukkah? We'd love to hear how you spend the holiday!

Man Who Plead Not Guilty To Firebombing Florida Clinic To Have Change Of Plea Hearing
The man who confessed to arson at the Pensacola reproductive health clinic not wants to change his not guilty plea.
Although Bobby Joe Rogers admitted at the time of his arrest that he did in fact set fire to the American Family Clinic in Pensacola, Florida, he later pled "not guilty" to the charges of arson and damaging a reproductive health clinic.
Now, Rogers wants to change his plea, according to the Pensacola News. His hearing will be on July 19th.
Earlier this week, Francis Grady, who faced the same charges for his attempt to burn down a Wisconsin Planned Parenthood, was found guilty. Grady could receive up to 21 years in jail.

Great profile by Michael Lewis of Mike DEC 07 2005
Great profile by Michael Lewis of Mike Leach, Texas Tech's football coach. Leach "believes that both failure and success slow players down, unless they will themselves not to slow down." 'When they fail, they become frustrated. When they have success, they want to become the thinking-man's football team.'" Must-read article if you're even a casual football fan. Here's another article on Leach from the SJ Merc.

The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office says firefighters quickly extinguished a fire after smoke was spotted coming from a small building adjacent to but separate from the parish jail.
A statement from the sheriff's office Friday says the fire was inside the building that houses laundry equipment. The preliminary cause appears to be electrical.
The sheriff's office says no evacuations were necessary.
No injuries were reported.

SAN JOSE -- In the second homicide in as many days, a man was fatally stabbed early Wednesday morning in downtown.
Police says a passer-by spotted the man face down on a sidewalk in the area of Second and St. John streets and called police at 2:49 a.m. He was pronounced dead a short time later.
The man, who was not immediately identified, is the city's 10th homicide victim of 2014. Police Sgt. Heather Randol said he was in his late 20s or early 30s. There were no suspects apprehended or identified.
"We don't know what precipitated this homicide," Randol said.
Police are looking for anyone who may have witnessed what led up to the stabbing, which occurred near St. James Park.
"We do believe there are people who could have seen what happened," Randol said.
As part of their investigation, police remained in the area for hours. For much of that time, light rail trains did not stop at the St. James Station.
It was the second homicide in San Jose this week.
On Tuesday a man in his 20s or early 30s was found shot to death inside a home in the Coyote Creek neighborhood in South San Jose.
Police are asking for anyone who may have witnessed the downtown killing to contact them at 408-277-5283.

On Feb. 22 the Siskiyou County community will be gathering at the Fort Jones Community Center for a benefit concert to raise money for 28-year-old Scott Valley native Gina Giacomelli who is battling breast cancer.
The event will run from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and feature live music by Slap Shoe Fly (featuring members of the Sundown Poachers). A donation of $10 per person will be requested at the door. This will be an all-ages event and guests are welcome to bring their own beverages.
Giacomelli, a 2002 graduate of Etna High School and a 2007 graduate of Chico State, was diagnosed in September 2012. She had surgery in November and began chemotherapy sessions in December.
She said, "I am very excited for the event, to have a night of fun with my friends and family. Without them I don't want to imagine what getting over this hurdle would be like."
Event organizer Chai Perlman told the Daily News, "Scott Valley is a very special place and part of that is because the community comes together when people need help. That's what this is all about and we're hoping people from all over the county will come out to support Gina by dancing to some great music and sharing their love with her."
The Fort Jones Community Center is located at 11960 East St. in Fort Jones, behind the post office.
Anyone interested in making a donation can send it to Giacomelli Benefit, P.O. Box 211, Fort Jones, CA 96032.

When Irish leader Enda Kenny last week made an abject apology on behalf of the Irish state for the mistreatment of Irish women treated like slaves in the Magdalene laundries, Pennsylvania-based Mari Steed, 53, the director of the advocacy group Justice for Magdalenes, knows all about it.
She had been torn from her mother, a Magdalene inmate and sent for adoption in America at eighteen months old.
Kenny stated "As a society, for many years we failed you," he said in an unprecedented speech.
"We forgot you or, if we thought of you at all, we did so in untrue and offensive stereotypes.

"This is a national shame, for which I again say, I am deeply sorry and offer my full and heartfelt apologies."
Mari's mother, now known as Josephine Bassett, was one of the thousands of women who worked for years in the Magdalene laundries system before the last one closed in 1996. Her mother's life, Steed says, is a kind of testament to the shadow side of Ireland and the deceitful tale it told itself of a kindly and compassionate social order.
Steed has been to the forefront revealing the injustice and last week's apology was welcome but her work is not over.
"My mother grew up alone knowing she had siblings and a mother but never having any contact with any of them," Steed tells the Irish Voice.
"Why weren't there services in place that could have allowed her access to her parent and siblings? That compassion just wasn't there."

Born out of wedlock in the early 1930s, Steed's mother was placed in an industrial school, a brutal and brutalizing institution that often harmed the children it purported to help.
In 1947 she was then sent to the women's laundry of Sunday's Well in Cork City. There she spent the next 10 years of her life doing sewing for no pay.
"Her work included tasks that ran from embroidery to stitching smock dresses, from sowing items for the clergy to altering surplices and other religious materials," Steed said.
"And obviously there was profit being made on these items, but she was never paid for that."
Steed's mother is now 79, lives in Swindon, England and still has immense difficulty talking about her experiences.

"She was ashamed that her family had been thrown to the four winds. It seems to be true of a lot of survivors of the laundries," says Steed.
"On top of that within the ex-pat Irish communities there was a lot of internal bullying going on. People just didn't dare admit they had been to an industrial school or a Magdalene laundry. You wouldn't be accepted by your own community."
Steed's mother was fortunate, however. She was eventually let go with a work referral in 1957 and picked up employment as aide in a Dublin hospital run by the church.
"Having been raised completely by the nuns, she had no interpersonal skills, no sexual education, she didn't know anything about men," says Steed.
In less than two years she was pregnant. The nuns sent her back to Cork, this time to a mother-and-baby home.
She gave birth to Steed in 1960 and stayed with her until a U.S. adoption was arranged for the infant about 18 months later, separating another generation from their roots.
"We started Justice for the Magdalenes in 2003," says Steed. "It took 10 years, but the women who listened to Kenny's apology are immensely grateful for their state to stand up and say we are sorry for the way we treated you, that's important to them.
"You almost want to cry for them because that's all they actually wanted. But that speech needs to underpin some real restorative justice. I didn't really feel that yet from Kenny."
How do you compensate someone for the loss of years or even decades of their life lost to shame and indentured servitude?
"The EU Human Rights Commission has a guideline that we're looking at. There are different reparation schemes across the globe. But it comes down to a fair assessment of each woman and how their experiences impacted their life when they got out," Steed says.
Steed credits the U.N. Commission Against Torture for pushing the Irish government to produce an apology.

I've noticed that adding .avi and .mp4 to the list of file extensions to be ignored for transcoding as of version 1.72. This means that my media is always being transcoded with mencoder, but I just want it to be sent without the transcoding, as my renderer can render .avi files natively. Anyone have a solution? Disabling all transcoders just causes the media to not be displayed.
EDIT: This is no longer an issue. For some magical reason ignoring .avi works as long as I ignore it twice.
EDIT EDIT: Well, it still doesn't ignore mp4s.

1. From the how-not-to-hit-on-a-geek-girl department...: 00:31 (2004.06.20#1)
Someone who signed himself '4.4BSDSystemsGuys' had this to say:
Sacha, you are one kind sweet witty geekette, and im a GNU-Hurd hacker who likes to play bits and packets, I think we could be a perfect match and make love under the monn and the stars watch. I run VI whem im lonely, and Emacs whem im moody but prefers PICO when im inspired by linux chicks like you.
Classic example of how _not_ to go after a geek girl. Whoever you are, get clued. ;)
Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance and without any visible reason.
-- Lord Chesterfield
A tongue-in-cheek guide to going after or making friends with Sacha Chua
Don't take this too seriously. =) But hey, might as well have some guidelines...
- 2006.10.30 - Added date ideas
- 2004.12.06 - Updated clarifications
- 2004.02.16 - Updated note about fresh flowers.
- 2003.12.19 - Added note about smiling, Microsoft Windows, and chess.
- 2003.06.30 - Added note about nifty displays of geekiness and chocolate
- 2003.06.02 - Added quote from Lord Chesterfield (found in fortunes)
- 2003.04.30 - Added link to other guides, added link from blog.
I previously said:
I don't have a boyfriend, and I don't plan to have one anytime soon. I have occasional crushes, though. =)
I officially have a boyfriend now, and it's highly unlikely that anyone's going to outgeek or outkarma him any time soon, so you might as well give up any romantic interest. ;) That doesn't mean I can't be friends, though, and you might find these tips helpful anyway.
Activity / date ideas
Objectives for dates:
- Enjoy life
- Get to know each other
- Share experiences: "Remember when..."
- Expand our experiences and try something new
- Work towards goals
|Familiar surroundings
|Change of scene
Art and culture
- sketching
- working with clay / pottery / sculpture
- listening to music
- making music
- reading
- writing (poetry, short stories, nonfiction)
- developing a better sense of design
- taking photographs
- going to a museum or gallery (realistic paintings, photographs, sculptures)
- watching a play
Tips on gaining brownie points with me (and probably geek girls in general):(order completely arbitrary)
- Smile a lot. Real smiles, mind you. Smiles that show me how happy you are to be around me. Or even better - how happy you are that you exist. The universe is great. =) Don't sweat the small stuff.
- Keep a web log or a journal. This allows us to have higher-quality conversations because we can catch up quickly. It also allows me to find out what and how you think without requiring you to do a braindump. =) My journal can be found in this wiki.
- Don't bluff. If you pretend to be authoritative when you're not, you may cause me or other people to make decisions based on inaccurate or incomplete information. If you don't know something, admit it. If it's important enough, find out. Searching skills are highly valued.
- Nifty displays of geekiness are impressive. Things like hacking the Linux kernel or knowing really arcane bits of trivia, that sort of thing. This is not limited to computer geekhood. However, don't try to one-up me in terms of computer history, programming languages, or other geek methods for establishing some kind of an intellectual pecking order. You might know more than I do, but driving the point in isn't going to make you any cooler. Make sure displays of geekiness are appropriate to the occasion.
- If you're a computer geek, use Linux or some other free and open source operating system. Demonstrate an eagerness to learn more about it. Tweak it as much as possible. People doing something nifty with it earn extra karma points. Mac OS X is way cool because it's UNIX inside, but Mac OS 9 below and all Microsoft Windows systems don't have enough of an open source community feeling to them (although people who contribute to open-source applications on Windows can salvage some karma). Actually, Windows people are fine, but you just won't be able to relate to my excited rambling about shell scripts and Emacs unless you install Cygwin and/or Emacs on Windows, but then what's the point of running Windows anyway? ;)
- Don't make small talk just to get to know me. Search the Web, subscribe to the mailing lists I participate in, visit the sites I like, and read my wiki. Make contact by referring to a specific incident, message or story, and add something I might find interesting. I don't really write people in order to be friends. I prefer to swap information, and then gradually learn more about other people when I find them interesting enough. Drop casual references to old blog entries into conversation. I'll be honored that you spent so much time reading.
- If you want me to want to get to know you, demonstrate some interests or aspects of geekiness that I'd like to know more about. I'm not going to ask more than perfunctory questions about your family and your interests until I feel like it, so you have to volunteer information. (Better yet, put the information on your website.) Keep to useful information until I change the level of conversation.
- Participate in mailing lists or newsgroup discussions. This gives me an idea of what you're interested in, increases your Google footprint, and earns you positive karma if you manage to help other people with their questions. Observe proper netiquette.
- Pay attention to your spelling, grammar, punctuation and capitalization. Attention to detail is a Good Thing.
- Don't forward me jokes, pictures or other 'cutesy' things. Don't send me virus warnings, Nigerian scams, chain letters or anything similar. If you're going to forward me anything, trim the message carefully. I don't want to wade through pages and pages of e-mail headers to get to the relevant parts.
- I'm into lateral thinking puzzles and word games. If you are similarly inclined, you may have more excuses to interact with me - over a friendly Scrabble or chess game, for example, or in a puzzle-swapping session.
- I care about teaching. Feedback, suggestions, and elegant examples I can use in class are very much appreciated.
- Don't take this so seriously. Read stuff like http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=338 and laugh.
- Relate to me as an equal. I'd rather not be worshipped, thank you. ;) Find an area that I find somewhat interesting and in which you are as good as or better than me so that I can learn from you and you can earn karma points in the process.
- That said, a little worship from time to time makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Smile when you see me.
- Don't even think about trying to emotionally blackmail me into doing something. Verbal or physical abuse will not only mean a negative karma, but might get a lot of angry people going after you.
- I don't drink coffee, but I appreciate a good cup of hot chocolate - especially when I'm feeling particularly down (which is not often, so grab that chance when it comes up.)
- Read http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~masterma/GuideToGeekGirls.html,
The favor of my family is essential. Although their approval will not guarantee friendship with me, their disapproval will quite probably end one.
Tips on gaining brownie points with my family:
- My mom greatly enjoys conversations with my friends. Don't be afraid to speak up and address her. You can call her Tita Harvey. She likes The Prophet. She plays Scrabble. My dad plays chess once in a blue moon.
- Fresh flowers are nice. A bouquet of roses is too incriminating, but a bunch can brighten my day. I like the scent of lilies. I also like brightly-colored flowers. If you are in the Philippines, potted plants are better than cut flowers, as long as they are low-maintenance flowers that will fit into our gardens and are guaranteed to withstand the ravages of a deranged lovebird and a psychotic cat. Potted roses are acceptable, too.
- Chivalry is excellent. My mom likes old-style manners. Open doors, offer to carry packages, stand up when a lady enters the room, and say "please" and "thank you". =)
- Chocolate is appreciated. Kathy likes Ferrero. I like dark chocolate. Chocolate is especially handy during coding sessions or when I'm in hermit mode.
- We prefer spicy chicken flavored instant yakisoba over the other flavors of instant yakisoba.
- My parents are quite concerned about my future, since unsuitable relationships could distract me from my plans. Reassure them by stating your exact intentions toward me, which should indicate your awareness of my plans and your acceptance of them. In particular, note that you are aware of my timeframe (no serious commitments until after I establish my career, which could be four or five years out) and are fully supportive of my passion for computer science.
Random thoughts on love and friendship
The probability of anyone getting into a romantic relationship with me right now (and possibly within the next few years) is extremely low. My commitment to computer science precludes any commitment to particular human persons, and committing to a romantic relationship now is highly unwise. I am 20, and there is much I have to do.
Now 21 and in a relationship. Keeping this section for historical interest and so that people can laugh at how other people change.
I don't like it when people go after me because then it's a little more difficult to deal with them. I don't want people to think their happiness depends on me. I don't want to have to worry about hurting people if I say the wrong thing or if I seem to be having more fun with other people. I don't want to be expected to love someone back. I don't want people making plans with me in them, assuming that I'll be a good little girlfriend/wife/whatever. I don't want to have to deal with other people's jealousy.
I am partial to certain people, but I will not allow myself to get into a romantic relationship with them because that might possibly impede their progress and growth. I feel that I may be of better use to them as a friend whom they can be themselves in front of without worrying about whether they "look good." This arrangement is also to my benefit.
I don't want people overanalyzing my smallest actions, wondering if I like them or not. I don't want people asking my friends what I think of them - I want people to ask me directly. If you're not sure what I mean, ask me.
I don't want to second-guess other people's motives, because I'll almost always be incorrect. I want people to tell me up front what they think and how they feel.
I don't become friends with people out of the blue. Generally my closest friends are those I have worked with over a long period of time. I don't see the need to develop more deep friendships right now, but I let whatever friendships grow out of my normal working relationships proceed naturally. In other words, it is hard for me to become friends "just because" - rather, I prefer to get to know people through work and then proceed to friendship when I've gained a healthy respect for them and their skills.
Don't expect me to write often about my day. If you want to learn about my personal life, browse my wiki. I rarely tell people about my day (the stories get repetitive after a while), so you can either be part of my day or you can read about it through e-mail. I tell interesting stories to a handful of people whom I think may be able to benefit from that information. It helps if you clearly identify yourself with a particular interest, so that I can pass any related news I have to you. Having stories of your own that you think I might find useful is also a good thing - information exchange is nice.
I will, however, listen to you if you need to talk to someone. I value that highly, and I am glad that my closest friends are there when I need to talk to someone as well. I want my friends to feel comfortable around me - so comfortable that they can go to pieces and they can talk about what angers them or makes them unhappy.
If you like me, don't go after me. Instead, try to better yourself - try to be of more use to humanity. Live for something greater than yourself and greater than me.
Flowers, stuffed toys, picture frames, and other gifts are discouraged. I'll be appreciative if you do actually give me those, but I prefer letters and information. =)
Have learned to appreciate flowers and stuffed toys. Thanks, Mom!

If you want a dose of comedy, check out Sacha's Random Thoughts On Love And Relationships. Good comedy material, I might have to say, although she was fairly serious about it when she was working on it. If you ever do follow the guide to the letter, and something good happens between you and any geeky girl (Not just Sach, as she did say.), let me know, and I might just start taking the guide MORE seriously (There's some merit in it as is, though.).
- http://charlesatan.blogspot.com, who says
First off, here's what Sacha wrote about how to court her (and presumably computer geeks like her). While it was written half-jokingly, it makes sense considering all the "admirers" Sacha has accumulated over the four years she's been in Ateneo. (Elbert is also joking [I hope he's joking] of writing a "how-to-court-Elbert" essay.)
Apparently, some people manage to find it funny.
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Motorcycle AccessoriesWhen you take your motorcycle out on the road with you, you want to make sure it is well accessorized. This goes beyond a snazzy helmet and a proper jacket; it means having storage for anything you plan to carry. The right storage is safer to use, and is often roomier as well.
You can accessorize your bike with a bag for the tail or tank. You can also add saddlebags. Store your helmet in a bag when it isn't in use and it will always be clean and dry when you want to go for a ride. With a number of bags on your bike, you can take along a picnic, rain gear, and anything else you might need.

2.5 Einsatzgruppe D
2.5.1For all five Commandos of the EG D there exists documentation for mass executions of Jewish men in the period before August: - A sub-unit of the Special Commando 10 a was sent to the town of Kodyma because of a request from the Wehrmacht stating that the "Jews and bolshevists" from there were planning to sabotage the occupation powers. The sub-unit arrested 400 persons on the spot, mostly Jews, put them through an "interrogation" and then shot 98 people.95
2.5.2- The Special Commando 10 b (which was subordinate to the 3rd Rumanian army) participated on July 8 and 9 in a massacre of Rumanian troops in Czernovitz where the Commando, according to its own report killed "100 Jewish Communists because German and Rumanian units who were approaching were allegedly shot at from the Jewish quarter".96 At the end of July, the EG D reported that "from about 1200 Jews who had been arrested, 682 had been killed in co-operation with the Rumanian police".97 Sub-units of EK 10 b performed further executions of Jewish men in other sites in the following weeks.98
2.5.3- The Special Commando 11 a recorded at the beginning of August the liquidation of "now up to 551 Jews" in Kishinev, justifying it with "sabotage" and "retribution".99 These executions took place in front of the Chief of the EG D, Ohlendorf, whose staff was situated in Kishinev and who witnessed at least this one execution.100
2.5.4- The Special Commando ll b began its first mass execution on August 7, 1941 in Thigina, where according to the event report of August 7, 155 Jews were shot.101
2.5.5- The EK 12 performed two executions in Babtshinsky on July 20 and July 21 whereby 94 persons were killed according to the event report of 23 August1941.102

Detox Diaries: My Three Weeks on "Clean"
Think you've got what it takes to detox for 21 days? Here's how one woman did it, why (perfect skin, anyone?), and the info you need to decide if this plan is for you
Last day! I'm so excited this little detox experiment is almost over. I keep daydreaming about what "normal" food I'm going to eat first tomorrow. I cheated a bit last night with a glass of wine (my first in three weeks), but it was my high school reunion -- you didn't expect me to stay totally sober, did you? I do have to admit it was nice to go to my reunion basically weighing what I did in high school; I don't think I've been this light (91.8 pounds) since then.
Since it's my last day (and to make up for last night's wine), I tried not to cheat at all. And I've got more energy than I've had in weeks. Tomorrow morning I get the results of my follow-up skin analysis. I can't wait to see if I improved.

So, my initial thoughts on this disc:
Bought at my local proshop, Iron Lion
175g, S-line, red with white stamp. Small dome with flat top at apex.
Rim is very comfortable and has some depth to it so it feels solid in the hand. Rim width is less than that of a fairway driver, more like a hybrid between midrange and fairway with this. Definitely blunt nose.
With a tailwind, literally drops in a straight line, and just keeps gliding. I would say the glide is similar to the Meteor, and keeps pushing like one as well. Speed didn't feel quite like a speed 7, but that might be just because it glides so much; felt between a 6 and 7.
Definitely cannot handle a headwind, very squirrely, even on a hyzer line.
With a left to right wind (9 o'clock) it had a persistent anhyzer on it, never did come out of it, but was not squirrely; just gradually trailed out.
With a right to left wind (3 o'clock) it was predictably straight.
I would see this disc shining in wooded play, or shots that are dead straight. I maxed it out around 350' or so with a tailwind. If you put OAT on it, it will not be forgiving. Finesse disc for sure, likes a good snap on it as opposed to powering it out there.

Lebron James is the WORST player in the NBA.

1.) Kobe had way better stats then him averaging almost 40 points.
2.) He's cocky and arrogant.
3.) He gets way overhyped by his fans, media, and the NBA.
4.) He couldn't help the team that supported him so he ditched them to go join a bunch of pros and have a better chance.
5.) Hahaha, it still took him 9 seasons to get 1 ring..
Do you actually watch the NBA???? Lebron had better stats the Kobe! Kobe averaged 28 points, not 40 you idiot. Kobe didnt win without Shaq until he had Gasol and Artest/Bynum. Also, if lebron is so damn bad, explain why he just won his 3rd MVP and led his team to the NBA championship while averaging 30 ppg 10 rpg and 5. apg. Kobe averaging 40 points..... Know what the hec your talking about before you say it!
P.S. Lebron- 3 MVP
Kobe- 1 MVP
1. Lebron
4. Kobe
5. DRose
You're retarded, learn how to read and then maybe you won't come off as so stupid. I didn't say Kobe averages 40 points, but he consistently drops 39, 40, 41 points a game.Gasol, Artest, and Bynum didn't do crap as you can see from this year and Shaq was just a over rated giant. Lebron won his 3rd mvp because as I already said he's overhyped by the league! MVP isn't anything, actual rings are and Kobe has 5 while Lebrick has 1. Even Lebron admits Kobe is better then him! LOL, it took him 9 seasons to get one ring.. besides don't talk crap cause I could destroy you any day in 1 on 1.
Lebron: 1 Ring
Brian Scalirbine: 1 Ring
lebron is alot better. kobe averaged 27.9ppg, 5.4rpg, and 4.6apg while shooting only 43% and lebron averaged 27.1ppg, 7.9rpg, and 6.2apg while shooting 53%. lebron is way more unselfish and the numbers show and is way better on defense cuz he can guard and play all 5 positions. it took him all this time to win a ring cuz he was a 1 man show in cleveland and had to do all the work and im sayin this even though im from cleveland. plus lebron is a whole lot stronger than kobe and can get to the rim a whole lot better than kobe and if kobe tried to take a charge while lebron was going to the rim lebron would probly knock kobe into the 4th row of seats!!!!
Dude YOUR retarded and YOU dont know how to read because you OBVIOUSLY didnt read that you wrote:
"?????1) Kobe had way better stats then him averaging almost 40 points." So yes, you did say that kobe averages 40 points. Kobe only scored that many because he took ALOT of shots, like NextCP3 pointed out. Kobe averaged 23 shots a game and made 43% of them. Lebron averaged 18 shots a game and made 53% of them, along with 6 assists. Kobe just shot alot this year and it showed when his team didnt win.
Robert Horry: 7 rings
Kobe: 5 rings
