How Shoshanna From 'Girls' Invaded the Sochi Olympics
"How do you say OMG in Cyrillic?"
This is the sort of inspired Olympic commentary on "Shoshi Games 2014," the breakout Internet hit of the Sochi Games, which makes an Olympian out of the "Girls" character Shoshanna Shapiro, a New York University student on the HBO show whose interests include "Sex and the City," products, emoji, her bandana collection and the color pink. It is emerging as Sochi's answer to McKayla Is Not Impressed, the viral sensation from the London Games in 2012.
The blog already has attracted the attention of "Girls" creator Lena Dunham, who called it "magic" in a tweet, and HBO, which said it "takes the gold medal" in mashups. Zosia Mamet, the actress who plays Shoshanna, responded to a tweet Tuesday alerting her to the Tumblr blog by writing "blood sweat and tears but I finally made it!" Mamet was not immediately available for further comment through her publicist.
The project is the brainchild of Jillian Anderson, Kathy Henken and Limor Zisbrod, three advertising freelancers who work together in New York. Anderson and Henken said in an interview Wednesday that they were riffing off their nickname for Zisbrod, who, like Mamet's character, is a 20-something Jewish girl in New York who went to Camp Ramah, she said. "She was our little Shosh," Anderson said.
They started calling her Shoshi once the Games began last week. A star Tumblr was born.
So far, they have edited Shoshanna into photos of Olympic figure-skaters, curlers, lugers, ski-jumpers, bobsledders and biathlon competitors, some with captions that could've been texted by Shoshanna herself.
"Curling?" says one. "I've been doing that since my bat mitzvah."
As the blog has blown up over the last 24 hours, the team said, the highlight was the approving tweet from Dunham, which was retweeted more than 1,000 times. "That's kind of all we wanted," Anderson said.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- This isn't the first time the Augusta Youth Development Campus has seen problems.
Last year, 19-year-old Jade Holder was killed during a brutal beating inside the facility's walls. Since then, Michael Everidge has been convicted of his murder. News 12 launched an investigation into the facility and found out many disturbing things about facility operations.
Now, after five inmates escaped from the Augusta Youth Development Campus on Friday, Oct. 19, many questions remain unanswered. News 12 will continue investigating what happened that night.
The following is a preliminary timeline of events that was released by the Department of Juvenile Justice. As the investigation continues, times could be altered.
8:40 p.m.
Juvenile Corrections officer reports five detainees are missing from DJJ housing unit.
8:45 p.m.
An off-duty Juvenile Corrections officer reports seeing five of the inmates on the side of the road.
9:07 p.m.
The director of the YDC orders an internal facility search and an emergency head count. The DJJ says that the current policy requires staff members to search internally before extending the search beyond facility, as the inmates could be hiding somewhere on the 456 acres and 23 buildings on campus. If they still are not found, staff members then can call local law enforcement to help with an external search.
9:17 p.m.
The internal search confirms five inmates are missing. The search continues.
10 p.m.
The YDC staff figures out how the inmates escaped and begin an external ground search.
Approximately 10:05 p.m.
YDC staff notifies local law enforcement of escaped inmates.
10:45 p.m.
Local law enforcement officers arrive at the facility and begin to assist in the search.
8:20 a.m.
The DJJ sends out a news release saying four of the inmates had been taken back into custody Friday night.
"Richmond County sheriff's deputies responded to a stolen vehicle report and apprehended three of the youth following a brief car chase. Two other occupants ran into nearby woods. One of those youth later surrendered to a Department of Corrections canine team. No one was hurt in the round-up. None of the youth are from the Augusta area."
The other inmate is still missing at this point.
1:30 p.m.
A BOLO is released on the missing inmate, Wayne Johnson. Read more here.
6 p.m.
News 12 talks to Keiondra Everidge, mother of Michael Everidge, who was sentenced on Friday to 17 years in the death of 19-year-old inmate Jade Holder's murder last year.
"If this is a safe environment and this is somewhere these kids want to rehabilitate, then why are they escaping?" Everidge said. Read more here.
2 p.m.
The last escaped inmate, 18-year-old Wayne Johnson, is taken into custody. News 12 also learns another teen involved in the escape, 17-year-old Kendrick Johnson, is related to Wayne. Read more here.
The facility remains on lockdown the rest of the night.
The DJJ holds a news conference and announces the following:
Augusta YDC Director Ronald Brawner and Assistant Director Melvin Womble have been placed on disciplinary suspension followed by departmental probation.
The shift supervisor, Sgt. Dorothy Blair, has been suspended with pay and put on administrative leave. She is accused of "failure to perform emergency procedural duties as the shift officer on duty at the time of the escape."
Two officers, Dominique Harris and Marc Johnson, have been suspended with pay. They are being investigated in connection to the "improper population count" where the escape started.
Cpt. Ricky Smiley has accepted voluntary demotion to lieutenant and a reduction in pay with his connection to the incident.
"We will not tolerate policy violations that breach the security of the Augusta YDC, compromise the safety of the youth we serve, the integrity of this agency or the safety of the public," said Buckner in a news release. "We have made many personnel changes at Augusta YDC during my term, and it's not over yet."
Read more from the news conference here.
The Augusta Youth Development Campus has a new acting director.
Melvin Womble had been the YDC's assistant director of security since March 2012. He is taking the place of Ronald Brawner. Read more here.
News 12's Sheli Muniz sits down with former YDC Interim Director Gary Jones to talk about Brawner's resignation. "It was obvious that the youth were running the facility from the moment that I walked in there," Jones said. Read more here.
The three teenagers accused of breaking out of the Augusta Youth Development Campus nearly a month ago were in front of a juvenile court judge on Thursday morning.
The three youths, two 16-year-olds and one 15-year-old, came in with their attorneys and a number of guards. Those who saw the proceedings say there was heavy security at the request of the new director. Read more here.

Last Modified: Friday, November 15, 2013 at 10:02 a.m.
The Polk County Sheriff's Office conducted an "Operation Medicine Drop" Thursday at the Tryon Estates retirement community, collecting 10,409 out-of-date or no-longer used drugs from residents.
The medications will be incinerated in an effort to keep the prescription drugs out of the hands of those who were not prescribed them.
Polk County Sheriff's Lt. Brett Hopper and Sheriff Donald Hill oversaw the event. Another collection for Tryon Estates is being planned for next spring to give residents the convenience of safely disposing drugs without having to take them to an off-campus collection location.
This event was coordinated by Tryon Estates Residents' Association's Maintenance, Safety, and Security Committee with the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

Enteroscopy is a procedure used to examine the small intestine (small bowel).
Small bowel biopsy; Push enteroscopy; Double-balloon enteroscopy; Capsule enteroscopy; Sonde enteroscopy
A thin, flexible tube (endoscope) is inserted through the mouth and into the upper gastrointestinal tract. During a double-balloon enteroscopy, balloons attached to the endoscope can be inflated to allow the doctor to view a section of the small intestine.
In a colonoscopy, a flexible tube is inserted through your rectum and colon. The tube can most often reach into the end part of the small intestine (ileum).
Tissue samples removed during enteroscopy are sent to the lab for examination.
Do not take products containing aspirin for 1 week before the procedure. Tell your doctor if you take blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin) or clopidogrel (Plavix), because these may interfere with the test. Do NOT stop taking any medication unless told to do so by your health care provider.
Do not eat any solid foods or milk products after midnight the day of your procedure. You may have clear liquids until 4 hours before your exam.
You must sign a consent form.
You will be given calming medicine for the procedure and will not feel any discomfort. You may have some bloating or cramping when you wake up. This is from air that is pumped into the abdomen to expand the area during the procedure.
This test is most often performed to help diagnose diseases of the small intestines. It may be done if you have:
In a normal test result, the health care provider will not find sources of bleeding in the small bowel, and will not find any tumors or other abnormal tissue.
Signs may include:
Changes found on enteroscopy may be signs of disorders and conditions, including:
Complications are rare but may include:
Factors that prohibit use of this test may include:
The greatest risk is bleeding. Signs include:

MARTINEZ -- Surrounded by supporters, transgender teen Jewlyes Gutierrez appeared happy after a juvenile court judge on Thursday ordered her to participate in a conflict resolution program known as restorative justice to deal with an assault charge.
"It's like conflict resolution to talk it out," the 16-year-old Hercules High student told her family and representatives from the Transgender Law Center and RYSE Center. "Then, after it is over, (the charge) will hopefully be dismissed."
Gutierrez attracted national attention after her older sister last month posted a petition on Change.org asking the Contra Costa County district attorney to drop battery charges filed against Gutierrez after a fight broke out on campus in November between her and three girls, whom she said had been taunting her. Although Gutierrez reported the bullying to an administrator at least a day before the fight, she said the perpetrator was not punished and the harassment continued and escalated into a physical confrontation.
By early Thursday afternoon, the online petition had been signed by nearly 201,000 people across the country. Gutierrez expressed thanks to the organizations that came to her defense, as well as to the hundreds of thousands of people who signed the petition, rallying behind her cause.
She said she hoped the incident and the attention it has brought to the issue of bullying will help educate the public and make a difference. Her mother, Debra Gutierrez, said she anticipates the charges will be dropped at her daughter's next court hearing May 1.
"At this time," she said, with a tinge of disappointment, "it's not been dismissed." The National Council on Crime and Delinquency will facilitate the discussions between the students involved in the fight, said deputy public defender Kaylie Simon, who is representing Gutierrez. Kanwarpal Dhaliwal, community health director for the RYSE Center in Richmond, also offered assistance from her agency, if needed.
"Just know that we're here with anything you need for follow up," she told Gutierrez and Simon.
In a joint news release, the Transgender Law Center and RYSE Center said a recent nationwide study showed 89 percent of transgender youths reported having been harassed at school within the previous year. Another study showed that 51 percent of transgender students who were harassed at school had later attempted suicide.
"Jewlyes' honesty, courage, and commitment to reconnecting and healing with her peers is a compelling and inspiring call for RYSE and our partners to continue to shed light on and shift the current conditions of unwelcoming and unsafe school environments that cause harm for all students, including transgender youth and youth of color," said Kimberly Aceves, executive director of RYSE, in a prepared statement.
The Obama administration last month released guiding principles to improve school climate and discipline, which recommended restorative justice solutions instead of punitive policies and court referrals that can lead to a "school-to-prison pipeline" that disproportionately affects youths of color.
"I am relieved to know that Jewlyes will now have the chance to find peace and safety outside of the criminal justice system," said Masen Davis, executive director of the Transgender Law Center, in the news release. "Youth belong in schools, not jails. All students, including transgender students, should be able to go to school feeling safe and supported."
A petition urging the Contra Costa district attorney to drop the charges against Hercules High student Jewlyes Gutierrez is available by visiting https://www.change.org/petitions/drop-charges-against-transgender-teen-defending-herself.

About the Book
In The Lacuna, her first novel in nine years, Barbara Kingsolver, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Poisonwood Bible and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life, tells the story of Harrison William Shepherd, a man caught between two worlds—an unforgettable protagonist whose search for identity will take readers to the heart of the twentieth century's most tumultuous events.
In her most accomplished novel, Barbara Kingsolver takes us on an epic journey from the Mexico City of artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo to the America of Pearl Harbor, FDR, and J. Edgar Hoover. The Lacuna is a poignant story of a man pulled between two nations as they invent their modern identities.
Born in the United States, reared in a series of provisional households in Mexico—from a coastal island jungle to 1930s Mexico City—Harrison Shepherd finds precarious shelter but no sense of home on his thrilling odyssey. Life is whatever he learns from housekeepers who put him to work in the kitchen, errands he runs in the streets, and one fateful day, by mixing plaster for famed Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. He discovers a passion for Aztec history and meets the exotic, imperious artist Frida Kahlo, who will become his lifelong friend. When he goes to work for Lev Trotsky, an exiled political leader fighting for his life, Shepherd inadvertently casts his lot with art and revolution, newspaper headlines and howling gossip, and a risk of terrible violence.
Meanwhile, to the north, the United States will soon be caught up in the internationalist goodwill of World War II. There in the land of his birth, Shepherd believes he might remake himself in America's hopeful image and claim a voice of his own. He finds support from an unlikely kindred soul, his stenographer, Mrs. Brown, who will be far more valuable to her employer than he could ever know. Through darkening years, political winds continue to toss him between north and south in a plot that turns many times on the unspeakable breach—the lacuna—between truth and public presumption.
With deeply compelling characters, a vivid sense of place, and a clear grasp of how history and public opinion can shape a life, Barbara Kingsolver has created an unforgettable portrait of the artist—and of art itself. The Lacuna is a rich and daring work of literature, establishing its author as one of the most provocative and important of her time.

Where Micheal O'Leary sought churches in America two decades ago, John Corr now looks for pubs. Both of them left Ireland for the United States during times of limited job opportunities at home. But the contrast in their emigration stories illustrates the growing gap between the Irish diaspora and the Catholic Church, say journalism students at USC who have been studying Ireland and Catholicism this year.
For O'Leary's generation they found the church was integral to smoothing their transitions abroad. He planned to stay in America forever. He opened pubs in Los Angeles and won election to Culver City's city council.
Corr sticks to patronizing pubs. He dreams each day of returning to Ireland soon. And he sees no place for the church in his life. Many from his generation had their ties to Catholicism frayed by two decades of scandals. He barely entertained the idea of going to a developing country where both the economy and Catholicism are flourishing. Instead, young Irish emigrants are mixing with increasingly secular cultures overseas. They also view emigration as a short-term fix. So as they return home, the imprint of religion in Irish life stands to further fade.
On a recent weekend, as O'Leary tapped the shoulder of the priest at St. Augustine Catholic Church to thank him for a good sermon, chances were that Corr was jabbing elbows with friends at an Irish pub a few miles away.
O'Leary grew up with positive depictions of the church in films, activities and everyday life. Nothing could shake his faith – not even the realization that he narrowly escaped what likely would have been an uncomfortable situation with a priest. After coming to America in 1987, he joined decades of emigrants before him in fitting right into the Catholic community. Though he quickly found a job, he was living in a public housing project where strangers refused to strike up conversations.
"When I had nothing else and nobody else, the one thing I could turn to was the church," O'Leary said.
Beyond kinship, the church also offered basics such as education and healthcare.
"It was a community that offered a basis of support through which immigrants could advanced socially," said Peadar Kirby, professor emeritus of international politics at the University of Limerick.
Corr's generation, however, has tenuous links to the church, Kirby said.
"Everything they hear, it's all very negative and every report is a shock to the system that erodes the Catholic Church in their minds," Kirby said.
Corr, 25, came to Los Angeles in April 2011 to work in the construction industry. He left behind his parents and their farm in County Kilkenny.
When Corr's mother visited, she quickly noticed a nearby church and said he should go make friends there.
"I don't need to go to a church to meet a new people," Corr said. "Now, the Irish find the nearest Irish bar and go and talk to people."
In his time in America, he said he hasn't set foot in a church.
"My dad would go to church in a new city to get a lay of the land, to understand his surroundings," Corr said. "That wouldn't even cross my mind."
O'Leary also never worried about finding a church when he landed because he expected one to be on every corner.
"It would have been something I didn't think about," O'Leary said. "There would be air, there would be water, there would be a church."
Most Irish emigrants – about 20,000 each year – go elsewhere in the European Union. The next largest groups head to the United Kingdom and Australia. About 3,000 Irish each year come to the United States. With job growth invisible during the past five years, people have left Ireland in numbers unseen since the mid-1800s Great Famine.
Kirby said the primary factors in choosing a country have been economic opportunity and cultural affinity. O'Leary saw the church as being interwoven with culture. Corr's generation would rather not associate with the church, even as a last resort.
Though Catholicism is booming in the emerging economies of Latin America and Southeast Asia, newer Irish emigrants aren't taking much notice. The mix between Catholicism and culture might be stronger in those countries than say New Zealand or the U.S., but emigrants are going to where the Irish always have gone. They've limited themselves to English-speaking countries despite the receding religiosity in those nations.
To be sure, there are some Irish pushing for more immigration to less familiar locales.
Steve Lydon, a doctoral student at Harvard University who grew up in Ireland, has visited Colombia on numerous occasions. He said both Ireland and Colombia have similar checkered pasts filled with sectarian violence. And for young adults looking for more cultural freedom, he said South America's the perfect place.
One of the stumbling blocks is the lack of second-language education in Ireland. Ireland and Scotland are the only two countries in the 27-state European Union that don't require students to learn a second language. Overall, 54 percent of Europeans say they are able to speak one additional language other their own compared to 40 percent of people born in Ireland, according to a 2012 Eurobarometer survey. The 2011 Irish census says it's just 25 percent among people actually born in Ireland.

A quick step-by-step guide would be appreciated
Sorry for the tech lingo.
Here is the translation of what technomage was saying:
As you may know, PMS is a Java program. PMS uses external libraries to do some heavy lifting (e.g. inspecting media files to extract information from them), and one of these libraries is called JNA. Sometimes JNA needs to write a file to the Java temporary directory.
Now PMS runs as a certain user. If that user does not have enough permissions to write in the Java temporary directory, you may see the error that you are seeing.
A solution could be to find out where the Java temporary directory is, and then make sure that whatever user PMS is running as has permission to write there.
Another solution could be to define another directory as Java temporary directory by editing the file "PMS.bat" and add the flag "-Djava.io.tmpdir=" with a suitable directory, e.g. like this:
- Code: Select all
start javaw -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\temp -Xmx768M -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -classpath update.jar;pms.jar net.pms.PMS
After that, use "PMS.bat" to start PMS.

$100 can buy a shopping cart full of school supplies...and that is the idea behind state-issued debit cards given to every Georgia teacher.
But is it all a political scheme?
Governor Sonny Perdue was in Augusta Friday promoting the first ever state-issued debit card.
"This hundred dollar gift card on the tax free holiday is kind of like roses," Perdue said. "It just lets them know we know what they're doing and we appreciate it."
"There are so many teachers who supplement their purchases themselves. This was really important to be able to help them be able to do that," said Cheryl Crocker, regional vice president of Office Depot.
But surprisingly, not everyone's on board.
Believe it or not, this tiny piece of plastic is causing political tension.
It cost Georgia $10 million to pay for teacher credit cards. Perdue's opponent Mark Taylor calls it a $10 million gimmick.
In a statement released Friday, Taylor labels Perdue's trip "Tour de Fraud" and says he uses "gimmicks instead of governing."
Taylor goes on to say that what teachers really need is higher pay and better-funded schools.
"Teachers know how to spend that money. They know what they need in their classroom," Perdue responded. "Find some objection from teachers. I'm not hearing any. The only objection I hear is from somebody who wants my job."
Meanwhile, teachers weren't letting politics get in their way of stocking up on supplies Friday, no matter which side of the political aisle they may lean.
Augusta was one of five cities Governor Perdue visited Friday. He told News 12 off-camera that his opponent will likely criticize most things he does between now and November.

North America's premiere professional drift series, Formula Drift, has returned for 2012, and we at Scion Racing couldn't be more excited. Tony Angelo, who is driving Ken Gushi's old 2010 tC, joins Ken Gushi in his 2013 GReddy Racing/Scion Racing FR-S and Fredric Aasbo, who is running a new intake system and larger turbo in his 2011 tC. Tony's addition makes this the first season Scion Racing has fielded 3 teams. Last week, Scion held a private practice session at Irwindale, giving the teams the opportunity to test out their new vehicle builds and perform any necessary fine tuning and adjustments for Round 1. We spoke with each driver during the practice sessions, with cameras rolling, to hear a little more about their thoughts on the upcoming season. The footage can be viewed in our Formula Drift 2012 season preview summary. The Formula Drift debut competition took place Friday and Saturday (April 6-7) at the Streets of Long Beach road course.
Friday was dedicated to practice and qualifying rounds, which determine the final 32 teams to compete. All three of our Scion Racing drivers qualified, with Fredric Aasbo in 11th, Ken Gushi in 14th, and Tony Angelo in 21st position.
Saturday was the main event, and it was a perfect day for it. The sunny, 80 degree oceanside weather was the perfect environment for the sold out crowd to enjoy a day of drifting. The Scion Racing U.U.V. (Urban Utility Vehicle) was on hand to give out some free Scion Racing swag, and for those who wanted to put down the coin, the latest Scion Racing clothing from DTA Posse was available for purchase. In addition, fans were able to race the 2013 FR-S in Gran Turimso 5. The two fans with the fastest time of the day went home with their own copy of GT5! Scion had a handful of vehicles on display, including Cartel's Pit Boss iQ, and the brand new Cartel FR-S Speedster concept, which made its first public appearance at the event.
The event also marked the grand finale to the Scion First 86 Program, our promotion that offered a chance for FR-S enthusiasts to be among the first 86 to purchase the Scion FR-S. The lucky 86 program participants enjoyed the shady, elevated view of the competition from the Scion VIP Suite located inside turn 10.
And now for the race results!
Round of 32
In his first Formula Drift competition in 3 years, Tony Angelo went up against Chris Forsberg in his freshly built Nissan 370z. Angelo looked comfortable in his new ride, consistently coming within inches of the clipping points. It wasn't enough to beat Forsberg's performance, and he was eliminated from the competition.
Fredric Aasbo, Rookie of the Year in 2010, was matched with 2012 rookie Chelsea Denofa. Many drift fans have been curious to see if a rookie will come along one day and give Aasbo the same treatment he dealt in 2010 when he earned the nickname "Champkiller". This was not that day, and he delivered two strong runs to advance to the Round of 16.
Ken Gushi had a lot of anticipation built up around him, given this was the global competition debut for the Scion FR-S. The crowd roared as he drifted by in the GReddy Racing/Scion Racing FR-S, and he gave fans reason to be excited as he beat Jeremy Lowe and his FC3S RX7 to advance to the Round of 16 in commanding fashion.
Round of 16
Aasbo faced 2011's champion Dai Yoshihara in the Round of 16. Undaunted, Aasbo put up a fight that only a champion could've survived. Unfortunately for Scion Racing and the Need For Speed team, Yoshihara proved his champion-level abilities by fending off Aasbo's onslaught and edging out a win, knocking Fredric out of the competition.
Ken went head to head with Odi Bakchis, ranked 30th, who was coming with some major momentum in his Nissan S14 after beating the highly favored Vaughn Gitten Jr., ranked 3, in the first round. Lightning did not strike twice for Bakchis, and Ken maintained a strong performance to push through to the next round.
Round of 8
Yoshihara and Gushi found themselves face-to-face for the first time since Ken defeated Dai in the final race of 2011 at Irwindale. Ken's FR-S was the lighter fighter being powered by the turbocharged boxer 4 versus Dai's big LS V8. Ken knew he would have to be aggressive and on the first run, he went wide and contacted the wall on the outside of turn 10, damaging the rear quarter, wing and trunk. The GReddy Racing FR-S went into the pit under the 5 minute rule and were able to get back to the starting line in time for the lead run. Ken put up a strong second run, but it was not enough to regain what he had lost in the first run, and Yoshihara went on to the next round, and eventually 2nd place overall.
Aasbo's Need for Speed team is still anxious to see what their more powerful tC is capable of. Round 2 in Atlanta, GA looks like the perfect opportunity since Atlanta is home to one of Formula Drift's fastest tracks. Tony Angelo is getting back into racing form and using his experience as a Formula Drift judge to drive smart and focused. We expect big things in future events. Ken Gushi's 2013 FR-S suffered minor damage in the Long Beach impact. The GReddy Racing team is already busy making aerodynamic, steering, and power adjustments in preparation for Formula Drift Round 2 – Road Atlanta, taking place May 11-12.
Keep your eye on us here, on Twitter and on Facebook for coverage of future Formula Drift events. And be sure to watch for the fourth season of Scion Racing's drift webisodes series, Driven to Drift, following Ken, Fredric, and Tony behind the scenes…returning soon!

It's something most of us take for granted. We can pick up a phone and order a pizza whenever we want.
But for some people in Augusta, that's not an option.
And many of those people who can't get pizza have one thing in common: they live in an Augusta Housing Authority home.
In a Special Assignment, News 12's Ryan Duffy investigates "no delivery zones".
Deborah Stitt keeps trying, but that delivery never comes.
"Won't nobody come out, Pizza Hut won't come out, Dominos won't come out and Papa Johns, nobody."
Deborah says she can't get a pizza delivery at all---from any company--to her home in the Oak Pointe subdivision.
She thinks it's because she lives in an Augusta Housing Authority property.
"I can't go out and get it for my girls, like I want to because they love pizza."
So why can't Deborah simply order a delivery?
News 12 caught the policy for one pizza company all on tape.
"We don't deliver to any project homes, Delta Manor, Sunset, Southside...We don't deliver to the projects," said a pizza delivery employee over the phone to Deborah.
So we walked right across the street from Deborah's home in Oak Pointe, outside the housing authority gates.
That same pizza company told us we could order from there, right across the street, no problem.
But maybe it was just Deborah's street where the pizza companies don't deliver.
So we called all three major pizza delivery companies in town: Dominos, Pizza Hut and Papa Johns, and we called all of them from Housing Authority sites all over town. The answer we heard each and every time.
At the five properties we called, no one delivered, at any time of day.
None of the big three pizza chains wanted to talk to us about this, but they all pointed to the safety of their drivers as being a concern.
But the Richmond County Sheriff's office tells News 12 it has no record of sharing crime statistic information with pizza companies directly.
"They can show a negative impact as to various races regardless of whether there is intent. If you get into that kind of a case, employers could be in trouble," says Civil Rights attorney Mike Brown. Brown says the non-delivery could even violate the federal Civil Rights Act.
"They should receive those deliveries like they do in other parts of the city," says Augusta Commissioner Betty Beard. She represents downtown Augusta, the district with the most Housing Authority homes.
"We still have to service our community. Not just outer areas, all of our community. I will do any and everything I can do to help them," she says.
That help might be a start for people living in Housing Authority homes who just want their piece of the pie.
Commissioner Beard says anyone in her district dealing with this problem should call her city hall office.
Or you can call News 12 and we'll pass it along.
An Augusta Housing Authority spokesperson tells News 12 they were not aware of the pizza delivery problem, and they encourage their residents to report any problems to management.

Given the surplus of Top Chefs, Master Chefs, restaurant nightmares and cupcake wars, one might have thought the world already had enough culinary competitions. And one would have been wrong, because Anthony Bourdain's new cooking competition on ABC, "The Taste" kicked off tonight with a whole new take on the genre: A little bit "The Voice," a little bit "American Idol," with a dash of "Ratatouille" thrown in.
The new show stars Bourdain and three fellow judges -- England's Nigella Lawson, Ludo Lefebvre of Ludo Bites fame, and San Diego chef and former Top Chef contestant Brian Malarkey -- who will dismiss 13 of the 29 competitors based on a single bite, then go on to mentor the remaining 16 in teams, plucked much as they do on "The Voice." They push ginormous buttons before revealing who the contestant is, then the contestant gets to pick a mentor from among the yeses -- or pack their, er, knives and go home.
It's clear early on in the premiere episode that it won't just be the judges pushing large buttons. Given the presence of Lefebvre and Bourdain, the network censor will be hitting the bleep button fairly often.
The first contestants
And we're off, with a cocky personal chef, one Adam "Chef Kaz" Kaswiner, of Las Vegas, who does ninja-like moves on the lawn as he talks about time portals, face smashing and awesomeness.
"I create food for awesomeness," he says.
But his spoonful of ground turkey-pineapple-maitake-mac-and-cheese-stir-fry, presented to the judges, turns out to be less than awesome. Nigella is visibly trying to repress her gag reflex. Ludo and Bourdain are appalled. And Malarkey channels his inner Randy Jackson: "I don't know if this was the forum to try something new and experimental and out of the box and that was just ... it was a roller coaster to nowhere for me." The only thing missing was a dawg or two.
Ludo gets the first real bleep of the night -- as opposed to the previewed bleeps. Once Chef Kaz is safely gone, Bourdain cuts loose: "If you were stoned at 3 in the morning and emptying out your refrigerator to make something, this would still be subpar. There is no college dorm in the world where this would pass as food. This was a food crime."
From there we get a Ft. Lauderdale food blogger, Sarah Schiear, and her seared scallops with a peach and habanero salsa and marcona almond crumble -- Team Ludo. Then LA exec chef Kyle Schutte presents his dish: Chicken fried watermelon with pickled watermelon rind. All four judges say no, but three think they made a mistake.
Khristianne Uy -- Charlie Sheen's personal chef -- offers up a corn puree with seared harissa scallops and duck chicharones. Malarkey says yes, but Bourdain says no, adding, "I do not know what's wrong with me," in what will become the theme of the night.
Regret and mystification
These judges are going to be very lonely indeed when they end up with teams of one, not four. The judges start second-guessing the show's overall concept. They're mystified by ingredients -- is that lamb or beef? And we're mystified by some of their rejections -- and a few acceptances too.
A montage finally moves the action along, sending enough people packing that we can no longer tell how many remain. We get an outraged baker spluttering, "Nigella chose a woman who makes mashed potatoes!" (We're incredulous too.) And we get a quick shot of Bourdain saying, "I'm pretty sure I can't use the term delusional (bleep) on television." We find ourselves wondering whether more occasions for bleeping would make this show better, whether Bourdain needs another shot of espresso -- perhaps 20 more -- and whether Nigella and Ludo's hearts are really in their sniping. They've been cast as the Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, but those Idol divas do the disdain thing a lot more wholeheartedly.
Bourdain's attention is finally caught by Mia Morgenstern, a San Francisco yoga instructor who, she tells us, went to Harvard. Bourdain likes her Indian-spiced lamb with mint-cilantro sauce and finally adds someone to his team. He also opts for a Chilean sea bass with butterscotch made by New Jersey caterer Ninamarie Bojekian. (Butterscotch?)
Malarkey takes a very nervous Micah Kasman, a San Francisco designer, who made a Moroccan-inspired filet mignon with vanilla-parsnip puree. We get a succession of faces and foods. The judges are starting to look as weary as we feel.
A brash, self-assured New York restaurant consultant, Diane Dimeo, is up next with a cumin lamb, cucumber and fig dish. Ludo says no because the tzatziki was amazing and there was too much of it. That's what he said. Bourdain takes her, saying "It took me a sixteenth of a second to make that decision." She wipes away happy tears backstage, then resumes her trash talking.
Ludo says no to a charming culinary school instructor, Renee from Chicago, who quit her job to try her luck here. Her pistachio-crusted halibut wasn't fancy enough for his team, but he offers her a job instead. He asks a Mississippi home baker he has rejected for her flourless chocolate cake recipe. Sweet.
When all's said and done, all four judges finally have their teams, and according to the previews, there are cleavers, flames and beau coup double-entendres ahead -- plus a voting methodology that has judges eliminating cooks from their own teams without realizing it.
Here's hoping it's more fun than the debut episode.

Sarasota man accused of soliciting minor
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 5:00 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - A Sarasota man, who authorities say chatted online last month with an undercover detective who he thought was a juvenile, was arrested Friday.
Despite the nature of the conversation, Jeffrey Hodge did not travel to meet up with the juvenile for sex during Operation Green Shepherd II, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
Hodge is charged with two counts of using a computer to solicit a minor to engage in sex acts, two counts of transmission of harmful material to a child and one count of promotion of sexual performance of a child.

DENVER (AP) -- Wilin Rosario failed to come through in the ninth. He got to come home in the 12th as a consolation prize.
He scored from second on Yorvit Torrealba's single to left and the Colorado Rockies rallied to beat the Atlanta Braves 6-5 in 12 innings on Wednesday.
"I got the opportunity to win the game and I struck out against one of the best closers we have in the National League," he said.
Rosario redeemed himself for whiffing against Craig Kimbrel when he led off the 12th with a double to left against Luis Ayala (1-1). After Cuddyer was intentionally walked, Belisle, who had to bat with no one else available on the bench, struck out on a bunt attempt.
Torrealba ripped a single to left, and Upton's throw home was wide as Rosario slid in with the winning run.
"When I got the double I said we've got it because we need one hit and I was 100 percent sure I was going to score," Rosario said.
The Rockies used all available position players and by the 11th inning Torrealba, a catcher, was playing first base. He had one assist in two innings before delivering the game-winning hit.
"Usually in winter ball I just played first, but I also played once last year when I was with the Toronto Blue Jays," he said. "Still, it's not my position so I was a little bit nervous."
Michael Cuddyer and Josh Rutledge homered for the Rockies, who ended a three-game skid behind one-hit pitching by the bullpen over the last six innings. Matt Belisle (1-1), the fourth reliever used by Colorado, pitched two perfect innings.
The Rockies rallied off Kimbrel in the ninth to deny Tim Hudson his 200th career win. Dexter Fowler hit a tying double off the wall in left with two outs. Jonathan Herrera hit a one-out double and pinch-hitter Troy Tulowitzki followed with a single before Eric Young Jr. struck out.
Hudson looked set for his milestone win after he allowed three runs on six hits in six innings, struck out three and helped out with an RBI single in the fourth.
It was 48 degrees at first pitch, more than double Tuesday's 23-degree start to the doubleheader. Sunshine bathed Coors Field in the final game of a 10-game homestand that included three postponements due to snow.
There was little evidence of the wintry weather Wednesday as the Braves completed their fourth series sweep of the season.
Right-hander Tyler Chatwood was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs before the game and made his first major league start of the season. He allowed five runs, four earned, on nine hits and struck out three in six innings.
He left trailing 5-3 after Atlanta scored twice in the fourth on Herrera's throwing error and Jordan Schafer's RBI single.
Schafer was tagged out on a failed squeeze in the ninth.
"We tried to get another run. Every run you add on is important," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We tried to get a three-run lead. I thought we had a great combination of guys doing it, we just couldn't execute it."
The Rockies took a 2-0 lead when Cuddyer and Rutledge homered off Hudson on consecutive at-bats. It was the first time this season Colorado has hit back-to-back home runs this season.
Atlanta rallied to take the lead in the fourth. Freddie Freeman's double to right scored Upton from first, Juan Francisco singled to center to drive in Freeman and Hudson's single made it 3-2.
Chatwood answered in the bottom of the inning with an RBI single that bounced off home plate, allowing Chris Nelson to score from third.

BERKELEY -- Berkeley High School Principal Pasquale Scuderi said "multiple" suspensions are expected following a large roving fight outside the school and in the downtown area Wednesday afternoon that resulted in four arrests.
There were no injuries.
Police said three juveniles were arrested for battery and one for resisting or delaying a police officer. In a letter to parents Thursday morning, Scuderi said one of the arrested students was from Berkeley High and one was from Berkeley Technology Academy, which is a Berkeley alternative high school. The status of the other two who were arrested has yet to be released.
Around 4 p.m. Wednesday, Berkeley police responded to a fight near the school. When they arrived and broke it up, more fights broke out in intersections in the nearby downtown area as big crowds followed and watched.
"One of the most disturbing aspects of this was the way so many kids rushed toward the scenes of these incidents, and in a few cases, albeit unintentionally, made it difficult for school safety staff," to break them up, Scuderi said in the letter.
He urged parents to talk to their children about the negative impact of "the tendency and grim curiosity to run toward these types of conflict."
Scuderi said in the future students will be suspended when they "willingly or unwillingly" obstruct staff members who are trying to intervene.

"When learning is disguised as play, everyone's a winner." -Amy
Fantastic learning opportunities can be found in almost any part of the day, whether it's morning, noon, or night. All you have to do is be ready to pounce on them when they arise.
Golden opportunities for learning occur during playtime. When learning is disguised as play, everyone's a winner.
A closer look at the Melissa & Doug Big Rig Building Truck Wooden Playset shows us that the Big Rig really offers some cool learning opportunities for kids.
Here are 5 ways to sneak in some learning when playing with Big Rig:
1. Talk about colors. Say the color of each item as you use it, or sort the pieces by color. Take turns using the yellow hammer, the blue wrench, or the red screwdriver.
2. Practice counting. Count each piece as you put it in the truck, or count the number of times it takes to pound in a nail.
Ask the child to hand you the piece with three holes, or two nails, or to drive the truck around the room five times. Count the stripes, dots, or wheels on the truck. Line up all of the pieces and count them. Organize them by size, pattern, or shape. It's all math!
3. Encourage pretend play. Tell the child: "You're the truck driver making a delivery to Grandma's house. Let's load up the truck and get going! Where should we stop for lunch?"
Pretend to run into a silly bear, a friend or neighbor, or experience a flat tire on the truck. All of these situations will help develop creative thinking, imagination, and storytelling.
4. Work on fine motor skills. The twisting of the screwdriver, the pounding of the hammer, the turning of the screws into place all help develop a child's fine motor skills. Those super-important muscles in the hands, arms, and fingers will help prepare a child for holding a pencil when it comes time to write!
5. Model sharing and turn-taking. Even when it's just a child and an adult playing, it's important that each person gets a turn to play! That way, during play dates or school days, the child remembers to give his or her buddies a chance to be in the spotlight.
With a caregiver alongside to guide and support the learning, playing with the Melissa & Doug Big Rig Building Truck Wooden Playset opens the door to conversation about colors, numbers, kindness, and more. It's a toy that we've found is loved equally by all of the little ones in our family, and with learning–and play–opportunities like this, it's definitely a winner in our book!

STOCKTON – A San Joaquin Delta College student was sitting alone on the curb in the Holt 2 parking lot, waiting for his ride to pick him up around 9:10 p.m. Tuesday, when he was approached from behind. He heard an unknown male voice demand his property and tell him that if he turned around, he would be shot, according to a college district police report.
The student then saw a police car driving on South Burke Bradley Drive near Target, so he got up and started running toward it. While running, he looked back and observed three males and a large dog standing near the area where he had been sitting, Delta College police reported.
Although the threat of being shot was made, the student did not see a weapon. According to district police, the suspects were all young males standing about 5 feet 11 inches tall. No further description was available.
Delta College police request that any information that can assist in the investigation of this crime be provided to Officer Craig Wood or Sgt. Mario Vasquez at (209) 954-5000. Visit the college Facebook page for safety rules and do not hesitate calling district police for escorts at the same number.

Data Center Celebrates 20 Years of Delivering Savings
Many great technology stories have started with just one humble computer and a desk. Twenty years ago, DOE's Alternative Fuel and Advanced Technology Vehicle Data Center (AFDC) started just this way at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In September 1991, the AFDC began as a telephone hotline and dial-up computer network in response to the Alternative Motor Fuels Act. Although it now hosts more than 20 electronic tools and attracts millions of Web users annually, the AFDC's mission remains the same. It helps local governments, businesses, and members of the public find solutions to reduce their petroleum use in transportation, increasing our environmental, energy, and economic security.
Using the AFDC is like having hundreds of experts at your fingertips. Because the AFDC's data are based on the latest research from the Energy Department's national laboratories, it's a great source of objective, reliable information. For example, a comprehensive chart comparing the attributes of hybrid, plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV), and all-electric vehicles (EVs) includes reliable statistics on fuel economy, emissions, fuel cost savings, and energy security. The charging section of the Center's website helps potential PHEV and EV buyers find out everything they need to know about charging at home, at work, or on the street. Case studies highlight cities that have led the way in getting ready for PHEVs and EVs, helping other regions learn from their success and replicate their efforts. Similar information is available for all of the alternative fuels, including biofuels, natural gas, and propane. See the Energy Blog post.

Zephyrs win, 4-3
Published: Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 10:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 10:12 p.m.
Kevin Kouzmanoff drilled a two-out single in the 10th inning to score Kevin Mattison to give the New Orleans Zephyrs a 4-3 win in front of 9,023 fans at Werner Park in Omaha, Neb.
The Zephyrs have won seven of their last nine games and improve to 68-67.
The Z's took the lead in the third inning when Nick Green drilled a two-run home run over the left-field wall against Omaha starter Yordano Ventura. Ventura pitched six innings allowing three runs on seven hits in a no decision. He touched 100 miles per hour on several pitches throughout the evening.
Former Zephyrs player Brett Hayes drilled a two-run home run in the fourth inning to give the Chasers a 3-2 lead. It was Hayes fifth home run in the series.
Kouzmanoff led the way for the Z's with two hits and a pair of RBIs. The Zephyrs third baseman tied the contest with a two out RBI single in the sixth inning.
Mattison led off the tenth inning with walk and stole second base. He scored on the Kouzmanoff single.
Rett Varner (3-2) pitched three scoreless innings to earn the win. Varner earned his third win of the week. He also picked up a pair of wins earlier in the week against Iowa.
Oklahoma City won its game and the Zephyrs were eliminated from playoff contention in the American Southern Division. The Z's are within two games of second place.
The Chasers maintain a two-game lead on Memphis in the North Division for first place with a 66-69 record.

Superintendent Law addresses student poverty
March 23, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Over the past dozen years, the portion of Wood County Schools children receiving free and reduced meals has grown from just over a third of the student population to over half of that......
I know that what I have said sounds harsh and I know that their are some kids in the community that need the help. But I absolutly do not beleive that more than half the community is in poverty. I think most of those on that assistance for their children counld easily pay for it but the school system makes it easy to get on it so people with low morals take advantage of that system. And for the stadium repairs needed. Thats a good thing to keep up with. One of the few positive things about a school system is a great sports team.

"Law said Wood County Schools has been working to find ways to address the problem of child poverty in the schools."
Those determinations are made by the local education entity or the Wood County Board of Education.
The same entity that just allocated $900,000 to the athletic departments of our High schools with the approval of the Parkersburg community.
The priorities of the people have spoken volumes to where their concerns lie with student poverty.

What do you expect when the Gov's allow Walmart to be the states #1 employer! But continue about how angry you are that poor kids have food. Defense Contractors LOSE a billion dollars, it's ok, but, let a poor kid have a cheeseburger and watch out!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The economy *****! Low wages and unemployment are also soaring. Times are hard and this is yet another area where we see the impact of those things. Get employment up, bring down the cost of essentials, allow families to become connected again..and we might see these numbers change. Until then....we might as well get used to things as they are.

Hanna, and bakerkat. If they would have participated in that program it would have only lasted a short while and then the county and/or the state would be on the hook for the bill. But we all know that when you start a program like that and then have to take it away, all the leaches on the system would be screaming of the starving kids not getting to eat at McDonalds because they had to start paying again. Besides that, whats it cost $5 for a breakfast and lunch. Not bad.

The real root cause is the breakdown of the family.There is a huge increase in single parent births.To further exacerbate the problem is that drug use is at an all time high.Well at least this bunch made themselves feel better by getting together and talking about it,along with getting their names and pictures in the paper.I'm sure there will be another "feel good"conference in the coming months so these persons can justify their jobs.

I think they should examine real close many of those applications for free meals.. I know some of those parents do not report all their income, plus they get free meals then after school the parents take them to McDonald's or somewhere else, why not they didn't have to pay to feed them 2 meals. But the honest person is home cooking noodles.

As I recall, the members of Wood County's Board of Education earlier declined to participate in a federal program that would have provided FREE meals to every student. Way to go Wood County BOE--you've gone a long way to promote the effects of poverty. Time to clean house.

Counsell &Company)
1 <Day 30
2(10.30 a.m.)
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, Mr Irving?
4 MR IRVING: May it please the court, may I just first begin, as
5this is our last informal session, so to speak, before we
6come to more formal matters, just by expressing words of
7my appreciation for the work put in by the defending firms
8of solicitors. They have had an extra burden put upon
9them by the fact that I am a litigant in person and I
10deeply appreciate their efficiency in this matter.
11I appreciate their help in this matter.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is very fair of you to say that.
13 MR IRVING: It is proper I should say that as a matter of
14record. My Lord, I have two or three matters to deal with
15today. If I can propose the agenda for this morning? It
16would be to deal with these two or three matters of mine
17first which include my points on the video films, then
18subsequently to take up the matter of your Lordship's list
19of issues, unless your Lordship wishes to put it the other
20way round?
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That sounds to me perfectly sensible.
22Mr Rampton, you do not object to that, do you?
23 MR RAMPTON: What I would suggest we do is Mr Irving makes his
24points -- I had thought there was only the one individual
25video in question actually which was the Halle video -- if
26he makes on that, then Mr Julius, if your Lordship will,
1will reply on that because he knows the story, I do not,
2and if it goes through me, I am likely to get it wrong.
3Then, when we have done that and your Lordship has made
4whatever ruling or decision is necessary, then we should
5go on to the list. I also want to say something about the
6closing speeches which, looking at the transcript of
7Thursday evening, it ended up in a bit of a muddle. I do
8not really know what it is that I am supposed to do, but
9I would like to go back to that and revisit that, if I
11 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Sure. So, Mr Irving, let us start off with
12the ----
13 MR IRVING: My Lord, I have put a small bundle, or two or three
14small bundles, in front of your Lordship. The one marked
15"A" in the top right-hand corner, as your Lordship will
16remember, there was a question as to whether the diary
17entry July 24th on a certain day was complete, and I have
18now disclosed voluntarily the entire diary entries for
19that week, effectively, which shows there was one sentence
20redacted. There was a suspicion, my Lord, that there
21might have been some reference to the National Alliance in
22that opening sentence and ----
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: And there is not.
24 MR IRVING: There is not. If the Defendants wish to send
25somebody to inspect the actual computer disk on which that
26entry is recorded, just to make sure it has not been
1amended in some way, then I would be quite happy to ----
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I doubt whether they will want to.
3 MR IRVING: --- to establish. My Lord, little bundle B ----
4 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I am sorry, I am going to just put these
5documents where they belong. I will not do it now but can
6somebody give me the ----
7 MR RAMPTON: RWE 1. I cannot tell you -- tab 2.
8 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good.
9 MR IRVING: Little bundle B. Your Lordship wished to have a
10note on the BBC gas chamber propaganda, if I can put it
11like that. I have put together a two-page summary of a
12broadcast made by one broadcaster, Thomas Mann, the famous
13German novelist, in November, January and June 1942 which
14I think are the material dates, before the Rigner letter
15from Geneva, and attached to that are photocopies from the
16published version of his broadcasts, and the footnotes are
17the references from his diaries which fix the actual dates
18when the broadcasts were made.
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Did he talk about----
20 MR IRVING: He did talk about gas chambers.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: --- gas chambers?
22 MR IRVING: My Lord, he talked about mass gassings at line 2 of
23the second page. He talked in the second item, which is
24dated January 1942, of 400 Young Dutch Jews being sent as
25test objects for poisons gas. He corrected that on June
2626th 1942 to say it was 800 who had been to Mauthausen
1where they were gassed.
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes. Again where is that?
3 MR IRVING: My Lord, you have already had something like that
4similar, but not in that neater form.
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Unfortunately, I have not, I think, now got
6all the...
7 MR IRVING: I will certainly refer to that in my closing
8address with all that detail, and so you might wish just
9to throw those away.
10 MS ROGERS: For ease, if you put in J2, tab 19, which is the
11next empty tab, we will provide an index to Mr Irving of
12everything that is in J2 and ----
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You have done that almost up-to-date already,
14I think.
15 MR IRVING: My Lord, the next matter is the Halle video or
16videos. If your Lordship will turn to bundle C, which is
17somewhat thicker, but I am not going to take you through
18all the documents on that, it was a bundle put together
19for the actual action in a lower court before Master
20Trench. It is bundle C. I have inserted just behind the
21index a photograph of the three original videos which fell
22into my hands. They look rather tatty and I attach
23importance to that.
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: When you say they fell into your hands, you
25got these from this week, did you?
26 MR IRVING: Let me first of all set out ----

Have just bought and downloaded QCAD 22.214.171.124-1, mainly in order to solve problems with copy/paste layer to layer and changes of layer by Properties changes, (ref my posts in 'How do I - Community Ed)
After extracting QCAD 2.2 it sits in my home folder, but the Comm Ed is still in ./qcad.
Prof Ed seems slow and is "jumpy" eg. moving mouse pointer to navigate menu hides window title bar. Am unable to close QCAD, I have to force closure.
Is it necessary to uninstall the Comm Ed to use 126.96.36.199-1?
BTW, still having problems copying/pasting, Prof Ed doesn't seem to help at all in this respect.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; October 12, 2012) – A new program to honor veterans and active duty service members is being launched by the office of Secretary of State Ross Miller. The "I Vote to Honor a Service Member" program recognizes the service and dedication of the women and men of the United States Armed Forces by encouraging Nevada voters to cast their ballots in honor of the service member of their choice. Participants submit a message on an application form and will receive a limited edition lapel pin with the "I Vote to Honor a Service Member" logo. Messages may be published on a special testimonial section of the Secretary of State's website. Voters can download the application form at http://www.nvsos.gov/index.aspx?page=1242. "My office is working hard in preparation for the upcoming election, but we all realize that no one works harder than our troops," said Miller. "Whether you're honoring someone who served decades ago or an active duty member of our military, this is an excellent way to recognize their invaluable contribution. Ultimately, it's our military that has protected our system of democracy for more than 200 years. We should all be reminded of that." Miller credits his colleague Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz for the idea. "We saw what Iowa was doing with their 'Vote in Honor of a Veteran' program and immediately knew it was something we wanted to do in Nevada," he said. "After making a trip to the Middle East to meet some of the troops firsthand and discuss elections and balloting issues with them, it reinforced to me the importance of what they're doing 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year." Although there is a limited number of pins available to participants, the opportunity to post messages honoring veterans and active duty service members is available to all participants.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – March 13, 2014 – Ducks Unlimited announced today the winners of the 2014 Wetland Conservation Achievement Awards yesterday during the 79th North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference held in Denver. This year's recipient in the Federal Employee category is Kurt Forman of South Dakota.
Forman is the South Dakota State Coordinator for the US Fish and Wildlife Service's Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program. Forman was recognized for his many contributions to wetlands and waterfowl conservation in South Dakota. Under his leadership 7,692 acres of South Dakota wetlands have been restored or established, with 32 percent in perpetual conservation easements; 27,512 acres have been planted in native grass, with 46 percent in easements; and 463,901 acres of grazing systems have been put in place, with 26 percent in easements. Kurt has secured more than 18 million dollars in North American Wetland Conservation Act grants and critical matching grants.
"Kurt has displayed an incredible talent for bringing people to the table and working through tough issues," said DU Chief Conservation Officer Paul Schmidt. "He is actively engaged in discussions to maximize the wildlife benefits of farm conservation programs while supporting opportunities for producers to stay profitable. And through his strong relationships with non-governmental organizations, states, tribes, and other federal agencies Kurt has helped create a lasting legacy of wetland and grassland protection."
Ducks Unlimited's Wetland Conservation Achievement Awards are presented annually in six categories to recognize individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the conservation and restoration of North America's wetlands and waterfowl.
