Old English streng (noun), of Germanic origin; related to German Strang, also to strong. The verb (dating from late Middle English) is first recorded in the senses 'arrange in a row' and 'fit with a string'.
The Germanic root of the Old English word string is related to strong, and in early use it could refer to a rope or cord of any thickness. If you have many strings to your bow you have a wide range of resources, just as an archer ought to have spare strings. A different kind of string lies behind the expression have someone on a string, meaning 'to have someone under your control or influence'. The idea behind this 16th-century phrase is of a puppeteer manipulating a puppet by its strings. An opportunity or offer with no strings attached has no special conditions or restrictions that apply. This is a relatively recent expression, first used in the 1950s, though it is based on an earlier US use of string meaning 'a limitation or condition'.

DOE to Fund Energy Audits for Schools in New Orleans
DOE's EnergySmart Schools program committed on August 8th to provide $1.5 million in technical assistance for up to 75 comprehensive energy audits in public schools in the New Orleans area. The audits will include analysis of heating and cooling systems, lighting, and structural elements such as roofing and building envelopes. DOE will recommend energy-efficient retrofits and upgrades for existing buildings that provide a return on investment in 3-5 years. The audits could identify up to $1 million in annual utility savings for New Orleans' public schools. New buildings will be designed to be 30% more efficient than current building codes and can be constructed and operated on a cost-neutral basis, with energy savings offsetting upfront costs.
In conjunction with the energy audits, DOE also publicized the upcoming release of "The Advanced Energy Design Guide for K-12 School Buildings," which provides guidelines for designing and building energy efficient schools that operate with 30% energy savings above typical building codes. DOE's EnergySmart Schools Program focuses on promoting energy efficiency in new and existing K-12 facilities; reducing energy use and costs; improving the learning environment, educating school personnel about planning, financing and operating energy-efficient, high-performance buildings; providing technical guidance and training to building industry professionals; and developing media materials and case studies about existing schools. See the DOE press release, the EnergySmart Schools Web site, and an overview of the design guide (PDF 17 KB). Download Adobe Reader.

Very good article on how bad our drafts have been compared to other teams. Depressing reality is that the Ravens have been drafting better than us for a while now.
Part II: Comparing Tomlin's Drafts to the League
By PaVaSteeler on Oct 13, 11:46p
In Part I, we discussed the Cowher-ites, those citizen of Steeler Nation who, for whatever reason, long for the days of Cowher quality drafted players. While it is understandable to a degree, given that Cowhers defenses epitomized what we all hold in our hearts as what Steeler Defenses should be, they are sadly mistaken in their presumption that, at least in Cowhers first 5 years, his draft picks performed better than the draft picks Mike Tomlin has used to forge his version of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Part II: The Villagers
In this Part II, we examine the claims of "The Villagers", so named from a snippet in Billy52s FanPost currently receiving well deserved attention. These Villagers are PostRoaches, creatures who are never heard from until theres a crumb of discontent, then they all come scurrying out to feed, posting all sorts of filth and spreading acrimony, only to disappear again in the bright lights of a subsequent victory.
As Billy52 describes them, " villagers [who] become an unruly mob screaming for the heads of every player, coach and water boy in Rooneyville. "This shall not stand," we bray in unison as we light our torches, bidding to hasten a swift return to our previous state of beer- and glory-sated bliss" . But they got me to thinking, in between posting virtual equivalents of rolled up newspaper swats to send them scurrying, about their claims.
With the delayed ascension of players such as Jason Worilds, Ziggy Hood, Emmanual Sanders; the unfortunate busts of Limas Sweed, Thaddeus Gibson, Joe Burnett; the disappointing failure to fulfill expectations of William Gay, Matt Spaeth, Bruce Davis, these Villagers have begun denouncing Tomlins draft picks, despite such obvious successes as LaMarr Woodley, Antonio Brown, Maurkice Pouncy.
And the data shows, they may be right.
If you look at Tomlins draft picks, and consider who he could have taken instead of the players he selected, you will find a rather disturbing fact: The Steelers, under Mike Tomlin, rank near the bottom of the NFL in terms of performance of their players, as measured by PFRs CarAV rating system.
I have downloaded every draft pick by every team from 2007 (Tomlins first year as HC) through 2011. I sorted out Tomlins picks, then re-sorted those players still available at the time the Steelers picked, and sorted by the top 10 players in terms of CarAV. The results are not pretty.
Assuming for arguments sake that all teams drafted on the basis of (from their perspective) Best Player Available ("BPA") and not for a specific need, then Tomlins Steelers may be re-loading with blanks as compared to the rest of the League with a CarAV ranking of 29 (except for Seattle, Denver and Washington, who ranked 30 thru 32 respectively over all).
Lets look at Tomlins 2011 First Round Pick, Cam Heyward. Selected with the 31st pick, as befitting a Super Bowl runner-up. Cam was a bit of a "legacy pick", given his father, Craig "Ironhead" Heyward has such strong ties to the Pittsburgh community, being the 3rd all-time rusher at Pitt.
As part of the (perceived) "re-loading" of the defense, Heyward was drafted to eventually replace Brett Keisel on the Steelers Defensive line. In 2011 he played in 16 games (starting none), had one sack, 13 tackles, and 2 assists. His PFR CarAV (inclusive of the 2012 season to date) is 2.
Other Defensive Linemen available at the time the Steelers selected Heyward include: Jurrell Casey, selected by Tennessee Titans and Jabaal Sheard selected by the Cleveland Browns. In the spirit of BPA, the top non- defensive line players available include: Akeem Ayers, LB, Tennesse Titans, Torrey Smith, WR, Baltimore, and DeMarco Murray, RB, Dallas.
Granted, different positions are given CarAV ratings based on differing criteria. But on the basis of BPA, look at how the names I just referenced compare:

In Their Own Words –That Shiver of Recognition
This "In Their Own Words" essay is written by Glen Finland. Glen is the author of Next Stop, a memoir about raising her son, who has autism, to adulthood and learning to let go, forthcoming from Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam in early 2011.
First, I note the impatience in the father's voice as he cautions his son to slow the grocery cart down in the dog food aisle. The maybe seven-year-old looks just like his dad in a tee-shirt and shorts, but he moves with an awkward, unfocused gait.
"Nolan!" the dad shouts. "Stop right there and look at me. Look at dad. Nolan!" Too late – bang! Staring down at his flip-flops, Nolan has bumped his empty cart into mine. No damage done, but I pick up on the faraway look in the child's eyes and the sound of fatigue in his dad's pleading, "Nolan! Look at dad, Nolan!"
"No worries," I say to the father, winking at Nolan and giving them both a big, goofy smile. Nolan doesn't smile back at me, but I can see he's paying attention now, and as I push on down the aisle I feel a shiver of recognition. I know that look on Nolan's face and I get the helplessness in the father's voice.
I remember other trips to the grocery store that went awry. I remember the condescending looks from others, when I would repeat myself endlessly to get my own child to move away from wherever he had gotten himself stuck. I want to tell Nolan's dad that it's okay for his kid to tap the cart into mine, because I could see his boy had been enjoying hearing his flip-flops slide across the cool, clean floor. I want to tell Nolan's dad that he's doing a good job today, taking his son on an errand, just the two of them; maybe giving mom a rare break.
But I say nothing. Even though my autism radar has kicked in full force, it would have been presumptious of me to make a quick diagnosis of Nolan's abilities. I don't dare tell Nolan's dad that, "I've got a grown-up Nolan at home and believe me, you're doing a good job, dad." Instead I bite my tongue and zip around the corner to the lightbulb display.
Still, I wanted badly to pat Dear Old Dad on the back, offer a little solidarity on the autism battlefront, and let him know his hard work will pay off down the road. But I do not cross that privacy line.
And this is how autism works to isolate us further as parents. With the spectrum being so broad, it often manifests itself as a hidden disability which creates its own sort of secret society for the families who are in it for life. The bright side is the hidden gift of an ever-growing organization like Autism Speaks, a place where the right to being a different sort of human is recognized, valued, and honored.
Meanwhile back in the lightbulb section, I find the familiar in an unexpected place once again. Here comes Nolan, bearing down on me with his grocery cart a second time, only this time he's staring at me with a big smile on his face. His dad follows close behind him with his palms turned up. Then he recognizes me and laughs.
"Look out, dad," I let myself say, "the fun is just beginning."

You looked into my heart for this one. I've been on the both sides as a friend to a mom of three Autistic boys to having my own with Aspberger's. People are scared of people & things they don't understand. I pray for them as I calm my son & we leave the scene of our last try.
July 16, 2010 at 12:12 pm
This one really got me. Thanks for making me cry. ;) The fact that the child actually could go to the grocery store and enjoy himself was touching. My son would hide in the cart…away from people. What do you say when you know, but don't want to offend? I think your comment was perfect.
July 16, 2010 at 12:47 pm
This story was so touvching. HOw many times have I tried to ake my s out on a errand to enjoy everyday life activities to them turning into me and him both crying while i am desperately trying to get him into the car. Too often did i ju8st get stares and here so many "wows" and "OMYGOSH". Not once did anybody come up and say to me i understand what your going through and it will get better. I say yes tell that parent what you think, it might be the only rcognition their getting other then the ones they recieve from theirt child when they occasionally com out of their world of autism into our own so called "normal" life.

This is such a true and touching story! When my husband and I are out with our 4 year old son with Autism I too feel like sometimes it's this secret society. I love those moments where we run into another Autism family and there are those exchange of knowing looks we give one another… some times a conversation is started and some times not. But whether or not there is conversation it still gets me excited and reminds me my husband and I aren't alone in our struggles and our amazing life!
July 16, 2010 at 12:49 pm
When I find myself in that spot, I agree that I dare not make that diagnosis either. I just look the parent in the eye and say, "I understand" or "I get it." Something that might relay to the parent of another autistic child that I understand his/her situation, but a parent of a neuro-typical might think I was empathizing with the challenges of raising any child.
July 16, 2010 at 12:53 pm
I can totally understand as I have been in both shoes. Going to the store with Max is a mission because he wants to run around everywhere, ask questions about everything. What hurts me the most is when people make mean comments about him and how he acts. Many a times I have turned around an let the person know what he has and how it makes him act. I have also told them that I am trying to make him as normal to the normal standard of this world, but it is a hard job. I let them know that he can't help it, it is like a blind person they can't help being blind. It's not like I asked for my son to be like this. It was in God's plans and we choose to deal with it. Making his life better, he is part of our family just like my other kids. There have been times when we have gone out with the family and have had to leave, because you see, his sister don't take it lightly when someone talks bad about their brother, I have had to stop many arguments and prevent many fights. To his sisters and brothers he is just Max, this wonderful lovable boy who has the energy to move the world. I just wish people would ask why he acts that way instead of just making comments. If they only knew how many children have Autism they would understand. I just feel sorry for all those that are adults now, 20-30 years ago when they were just thought of troubled kids, what most people don't know that those troubled kids more than likely had Autism. So please next time that you are out somewhere and run across a child like this, ask yourself if this were my child would I like it, if I heard a rude comment about him.
July 16, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Wow, another moment where I find myself weeping. Celebrating the joys my son gives us and grieving for the "dad's" frustration. The other night we celebrated my mother in law's birthday at a local restaraunt. (We were holding our breath…) My son was upset, we still do not know why and he did not look at the waitress when he ordered. A muffled "chicken tenders" was all she heard. Dessert is not common for us, but we felt a treat was in order. He was playing with a truck, looked the waitress in the eye and said "may I please have a dirt bucket?" (choc. icecream with gummy worms, cookies). She smartly replied, "well, when it comes to dessert, you can speak for yourself, huh?" I was not prepared to educate or guide her, so I shrugged as my face turned red. We are pretty quite about his Asperger's in public, I choose my battles and wonder, always if it was the best choice.
July 16, 2010 at 3:01 pm
Tanya, I myself had almost this same situation with my daughter, running through my mind is the same thing do I explain her situation? does the waitress even care? do I waste my time and hers? usually I just leave well enough alone and considerate it a life lesson for my daughter and use the situation to educate her instead, I guess we cant educate everyone else everyday. Call me greedy but sometime I just dont want to share the amazing gift of Aspergers with everyone else. But I do agree with you choose your battles and go with your heart, your really the winner anyway. :)
July 16, 2010 at 1:27 pm
I have more patience with other kids because of my son with Autism. Though he is different, he deserves to be out and about. Whether it be the grocery store, or the playground, it is always a learning experience.
July 16, 2010 at 1:38 pm
So nice to see it through your eyes. My son has Aspergers and is now 18. I remember a time in church. He always carried his bible in a case with a handle on it and would always be swinging it one day he hit someones coffee cup and they lashed out at him not knowing him. He said he was sorry so we went out and bought him a bible with out a case or handle on it. He started the habit of saying he is sorry for the little things and we told him sometimes the little mistakes don't matter. As a parent I remember all the times I keep repeating to him until he got it. He has grown into a fine young man. God gave him a wonderful gift he has a voice of an angel. He has been with a youth group doing plays. This year he is doing a production with an adult production group Jesus Chris Superstar. Someone he went to school with that graduated last year came up to me last night and said I did not think he would in this theater group like he was not good enough my first thought was to lash out. But then I thought about it and he is now 18 very sure if himself musically and these type of people don't bother him. They have the problem not him. He is going to community college majoring in music and recieved a music scholarship for the next fall / spring and has made the chamber choir. He is too busy in his life to worry about the negetives.He has taught my husband and I alot.
July 16, 2010 at 1:39 pm
i have made a point to ALWAYS state (almost proudly in some odd sort of way) that my son has autism. not in any kind of way that says "my son has autism TOO!!!" that might annoy those without a diagnosis, or who dont have it… but to open a door. the amount of times i end up in a 10 min conversation in costco or whatever either in solidarity or answering questions is kind of scary. i do everything i can to reduce the isolation. my 4 year old was lucky enough to have resources like Stanford medical and Lucille Packard Childrens hospital available when we suspected it was time to seek a diagnosis. (1.5 years) and got help for him early. i have a cousin who was not diagnosed until he was 40! (his mom after talking to me got him in to be evaluated) we are isolated only if we let it happen! when my father was put on oxygen at the age of 63, he had two choices, sit at home and be embarrassed about it, or put on the hose, go out, deal with the stares, answer the questions, and continue to live life to the fullest. and he got 6 more good years! he is our inspiration when we go wine tasting and choose to bring a 4 year old with autism and his twin sister along! that can be REAL fun! but they love it.
July 16, 2010 at 1:42 pm
In my mind, the loving smile says way more than any words. It's like when someone has lost a loved one…people try to say all the right things but they don't know that much of it comes across as presumptuous, condescending, or worse. To me, a kind smile is the universal langugage of love that always gets the message across.
July 16, 2010 at 2:56 pm
Awww, you gave me tears. Love everyone's post, too. Yes, people that do not understand will look condescendingly, but I am getting to the place that I don't care. I won't be rude, of course, and there will be times when we speak up and say to someone what he is dealing with. I am actually amazed that I find many an understanding or knowledgable person. I am grateful that we have 2 teachers living in the neighborhood, who were able to tell that my son is "different," but they are so nice to him. One of them even brings him candy and chocolates every so often when she walks her dog, :-). And all he did, I'm sure, was say, "Hi!" when he saw her on the street. I think that is what wins a lot of people over. Thanks for the encouraging post.
July 16, 2010 at 3:09 pm
I am thankful everyday for all of the kind people that made my experience having a child with autism easier. When my son was a baby he would never snuggle. He was my first, so I did not know it was not typical. He would be stiff as a board while I held him. One day a bank teller noticed this, and without any introduction asked me if he had autism. Well!! I never!! I promised never to go to that bank again. My son was diagnosed at the age of 6. I really was clueless! I have since learned patience for anyone who wishes to reach out. There are so many of us out there! WE need to stick together.
July 16, 2010 at 3:24 pm
I often make it a point to speak encouraging words to any parent that seems tired or stressed when out with their kids. I merely say something like "I've got kids and know how tough it can be when they are tired/over-stimulated/excited. I've been there." Sometimes a sympathetic voice can soothe when the parent feels that everyone is being critical.
July 16, 2010 at 3:48 pm
I had an experience similar to this. I was at the zoo, waiting in line to buy a drink. Behind me a mother, her son and the boy's Grandmother. The boy was acting up, I could see the signs of Autism immediately. The mother apologized to me. I said,"Oh, that's alright, I have a granddaughter with Autism, and sometimes she is uncomfortable in public and acts up." The mother quickly replied "My son has Autism!" She was so excited and relieved to talk to someone else that understood her situation she began to cry. Her mother simply said "Thank you for talking to us, most people just give us dirty looks when he acts up in public." I was so glad that I said something. People so often feel alone and desperate, sometimes it's good to know there are others out there that understand. A smile, a kind word really do make a difference! Thanks to everyone out there that take the time to show kindness and understanding!
July 16, 2010 at 10:34 pm
I've been on both sides of this equation many times. If I notice somebody in the playground with a kid obviously on the spectrum, I usually just open the door by (quietly–not in front of my son) telling the parent that my child is on the spectrum and has ADHD and we have a hard time playing in crowded playgrounds too. If the parent opens up after that, then great–if the child isn't on the spectrum, then no harm done.
I try to be nonchalant about my son's condition, because IMO everybody has something to deal with in life. If the parent I'm talking to also has a child who is ASD, then they appreciate the contact. If they don't, they learn something.
People don't understand ASD–they think all spectrum kids are like "Rain Man", and always seem to be surprised when my Aspie-like son is so verbal and charming. They don't get the whole concept of the "spectrum" and so a verbal child who looks "normal" is thought of as a bad kid when he's really just having a reaction to sensory overload. I don't understand ASD, and I've been dealing with it for the past 2.5 yrs.
We have to show ourselves in order for people to be more sensitive to our situations. If we hide in the corners, then how will autism ever be normalized?
July 17, 2010 at 12:00 pm
I have gotten many glares and exclamations from strangers when I'm out in public with my granddaughter. I try to keep my focus on her, calming, guiding and comforting her through these overwhelming situations and that helps keep the reactions of others in the background for me. Still there have been times when I was exhausted and having a hard time coping and a kind smile from a complete stranger has really done a lot to boost my spirits.
July 22, 2010 at 5:38 pm
I had a similar situation a while back. I was traveling with my 3 year old ASD son and we were getting ready to board a long flight. My son had just recently been diagnosed. I was still in shock a bit. I haden't developed any of the "defense" skills that an ASD parent developes over time. I asked the gate agent if we could pre-board. The agent said "no way…I don't care if he's autistic". She was SO rude. My son is fine once he reaches his seat but the long wait in line to board and being surrounded by a crowd of people is very difficult for him. It took us over 15 minutes to board and get to our seat. My son went nuts. He screamed and cried the entire time. People were staring at us and making rude comments. It was horrible. Just before I reached our seats I was down on one knee quietly singing a song to my son. Sometimes that calms him down a bit. I looked up and this elderly lady sitting next to the isle was smiling at me. She put her hand on my shoulder and said "you are a wonderful father and you have a beatiful son". At that moment it was the nicest thing anyone ever said to me. She knew. I was so thankful that she was there and that she said what she said. That was 2 years ago. I have of course learned how to handle ignorant people now. I would never allow an airline employee get away with treating my son that way today. 2 years ago I didn't have a clue. I also have learned to spot kids on the spectrum and realize they are everywhere. I give out a lot of smiles to parents and I get a lot of relieved smiles back. I'll never forget the kindness that woman showed me that day.

Dear Ms. Finlad,
I loved the part in your story where the father recognized you. The truth is, your kindness probably gave you away to him without having to use any diagnosis of his son, and he already had that sense that you understood. At any rate, he knew that you were one less person who would stare, comment negatively, or be rude by your second encounter. He knew. And it probably helped him to stay in the store instead of giving up. I've been there with a son who exploded a 2 liter soda bottle on a shopping trip, and also tried to use a toilet display at ground level in a home improvement center. Really.
So, Thank you. For the father in your story, and from me.

Start Date: Apr 01, 2012
End Date: Dec 31, 2013
Channel catfish female x blue catfish male hybrids and purebred channel catfish will be produced at 4 commercial hatcheries using the channel catfish strains unique to each hatchery. A common pool of blue catfish sperm will be provided by USDA, ARS, Catfish Genetics Research Unit and used to produce hybrids at each hatchery. Data on growth, processing yield, and survival will be collected and analyzed from both hybrid and purebred channel catfish offspring. Data reported to each participating hatchery will include: 1) trait means for hybrid offspring produced from the strain unique to their hatchery relative to the overall mean of all strains; 2) trait means for purebred channel catfish offspring produced from the strain unique to their hatchery relative to the overall mean of all strains; 3) variation associated with hatchery and individual female within hatchery for performance of each trait for hybrid and channel catfish offspring; and 4) the correlation between hybrid and purebred channel catfish offspring performance for each trait. Hatchery owners will not receive data for performance of individual strains from other hatcheries, only the overall mean performance for all hatcheries.

Mississippi River ramp replaced
Work under way at LeTourneau Landing
Published 10:23 AM CST Dec 10, 2012
LeTourneau Landing should be a smoother place to put a boat in the Mississippi River by year's end.
Buckled concrete at the public boat launch's low-water ramp is being removed and replaced with a fresh slab over the next two weeks, said John Skains, a biologist and boating access coordinator for the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks.
The Vicksburg Post reported that the landing will close for two days during the work week of Dec. 17-21, once a new surface is poured, so it can set, Skains said. Weather conditions will determine which two days the launch closes, Skains said.

SAN JOSE -- The last defendant in what prosecutors called "one of the craziest" cases of elder abuse they've encountered pleaded no contest to six felony counts for her role in running a squalid group home for mentally disabled adults.
Kathy Le, 42, faces up to four years in prison when she is sentenced next month along with her mother, Jennifer Ngo, 63, and brother, Charles Nguyen, 25. Le's 27-year-old sister, Margaret Ngo, who prosecutors said had a lesser role in the operation, was sentenced last year to time served. Family patriarch George Nguyen died from a heart condition while in custody last year. Le entered her plea Thursday, nearly two months after other family members.
They were accused of running a nightmarish operation within an upscale Evergreen Valley home, where 13 men and women with schizophrenia and other mental disorders lived in a filthy group home along with scores of small dogs. Police discovered the site May 31 after hearing complaints that residents were being held against their will.
"The whole case started because two disabled adult siblings lived at the house, and one passed away under questionable circumstances," said prosecutor Charles Huang of the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. "Family members wanted the other brother to be at the funeral, and made arrangements for him to attend, but when he didn't show up they got concerned."
When relatives went to the house, "they were basically told that nobody by that name lives there," Huang said. "But when police called, they found that individual there along with 12 others."
Investigators said victims talked of being secreted away from the outside world, let out of shared bedrooms only to eat and use the bathroom and having medicine withheld as punishment for infractions as slight as spilling a glass of water. The refrigerator door was locked, and residents looked severely neglected, according to Huang. They were not allowed to bathe and clothes went unwashed until just before a monthly visit to a doctor, and the bathroom was not stocked with toilet paper.
He added that evidence indicated some of the victims were beaten.
Huang said the elder family members ran the day-to-day operations at the home, while their children participated in various degrees. He said they believe Charles Nguyen was more directly involved -- and more violent -- than his siblings, and Le's role was in a financial capacity.
"She was the one who would get the clients and take their money," he said.
Victims told investigators that along with being treated poorly, they had their Social Security checks taken from them.
Huang said that after authorities removed the victims from the Cortona Drive home, three were taken back the next day -- at least one by Le who posed as the victim's niece.
Reached via email, Le's attorney Sam Polverino said "I do not think it is (in) anyone's best interest for me to comment."
In December, the elder Ngo pleaded no contest to 16 felony counts of adult-dependent abuse while her son pleaded to six counts of abuse and Margaret Ngo pleaded to a single felony count. The three also pleaded no contest to three misdemeanor counts -- one of resisting arrest and two of animal neglect.
Huang said that in deciding to accept the pleas, they took into account the mental disabilities of the victims and decided to "save them from additional trauma."
"What was so frustrating about this case, and why everyone worked so hard on it is that this is very truly representative of a part of the community that cannot help themselves," he said. "Some of them don't even know they were being abused."
Huang said the victims are all now in licensed care homes or with their families and doing well. He said they're gaining weight and "are no longer afraid to leave the threshold of their rooms."

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Thursday, Oct. 10, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Four candidates are working to earn your vote in the commission race for District 1 in Richmond County.
All four faced off in a debate on everything from the TEE Center to dilapidated homes.
About a hundred people packed the library Wednesday night all to hear what candidates are planning to accomplish, if elected.
Bill Fennoy, a District 1 hopeful, says, "I want to clean up a lot of neighborhoods in this office."
Denice Traina, also vying for the commission seat, says she's, "Trying to build the community, bring people together."
All four candidates have their different reasons for running, but most of them agree on the issues that are most pressing.
Matt Aitken says, "Jobs and economic impact for the merchants, along with flooding" are some of the most important issues, while Fennoy says "dilapidated homes and flooding" plague the area.
Another hot topic during the debate was the TEE Center, right in the heart of the district.
Stanley Hawes, another candidate for commissioner, weighed in, saying, "I think the TEE Center should've been taken care of on the front end with concrete deals going on so we know where the money's going."
Commissioner Aitken says the voters made that decision, and the center is making a return on the investment with 12 events already booked.
"The structure is there so we need to make the best use of it as possible," Traina said.
Candidates say there are a lot of important issues they'd like to tackle, but it will be up to voters to decide the future of District 1.
Hawes says, "Some of the issues I've got going in my community don't seem like they're being met head on."
Traina says, "I think it would be a benefit to the commission to have some new voices on there, shake things up a little bit."
Candidates also talked about cleaning up dilapidated houses in the area and solving some drainage and flooding issues.
They say it's an important race because downtown is included in District 1, and decisions made about downtown really affect the future
of Augusta.

Jack: hey :-)
Jill: whats up?
Jack: um... i wanted to talk to you about something
Jill: yeah?
Jack: i think we should start seeing other people
Jill: OMG what!
Jack: i mean, we can still hang out.
Jill: whatever, UR such a jerk! i can't believe UR breaking up with me over text! A-hole!
Have you ever been broken up with? Have you ever had to initiate the breaking up? Whether you're the dumper or the dumpee, ending a relationship is a difficult communicative task for most individuals to complete. (And by the way, whoever decided that texting was an acceptable way to break things off? News flash: it's not acceptable. Anywhere. In the entire world. Ah, but I digress.)
The truth of the matter is that in general, people are pretty bad at delivering bad news, especially of the 'breaking-up' persuasion. From changing your facebook status to "single" and hoping that your soon-to-be-ex-partner notices to disappearing without a trace or without any explanation about why the relationship is over, we've all either been guilty of committing one of these dreadful relationship-ending acts or been the victim of these appalling crimes against love. So, if you're in a relationship that just isn't cutting it or if you know someone who is about to break up with their old flame, read this post so that you know how to effectively break up when the time comes.
According to Burleson (2008), there are two main steps to effective break-ups:
- Determine your goals. Ask yourself: What do I want to accomplish regarding our current relationship? What type of relationship do I want to have with my former partner in the future (after the break-up)? How do I want to see myself and have others see me? And yes, you should actually write down the answers to these questions. Articulating your goals is a vital first step to effective communication in any context. Once you have clearly identified your goals for the break-up, you can begin to choose the strategy that best suits your needs.
- Determine your strategy. Your choice should be based on which strategy will help you achieve your goals. Again, you want to write these out. Create messages for your partner using a few different strategies before choosing the "final" one. You may want to use just one strategy or a mix of a few.
Termination strategies can be direct, which tend to be face-to-face and explicit in nature, or indirect, which employ more implicit forms of communication like hinting, "beating around the bush", various forms of nonverbal communication, emails, or text messages (Baxter, 1982; 1984). Below are eight relationship termination strategies identified by researcher Leslie Baxter (1984):
- Withdrawal: reducing frequency of contact and intimacy through the use of various avoidance behaviors. Essentially, this is where you start to avoid the other person. You could quit answering your phone, stop seeing him or her as often, cease answering emails from your partner, evade your mate at social gatherings, or completely disappear.
- Pseudo-de-escalation: telling your mate that you'd like a different kind of relationship when you actually want to end the relationship. Something like, "I think we should just be friends" or "Maybe we should have an open relationship." This strategy is called 'pseudo' because people who use it usually don't want to just reduce closeness or de-escalate. Instead, they usually want to end the relationship. People use this strategy so that they can avoid directly terminating the relationship.
- Cost escalation: increasing the costs in a relationship. This is where you become increasingly rude, abusive, inconsiderate, or combative so that your partner won't want to be in the relationship anymore. You could also become more demanding of your partner's time or require that your partner do things that he or she does not want to do in order to push him or her away. You basically force the other person to break up with you.
- Fait accompli: explicitly stating that the relationship is over without allowing your partner to talk about your decision. You say it's over and that there isn't any room for discussion or compromise. People who use this strategy don't usually give any reason or justification for the break-up; they just end it.
- State of the relationship talk: explicitly stating that you are dissatisfied with the relationship and want it to end. This usually occurs during a mutual discussion about the relationship's problems and why it has to end.
- Fading away: an implicit understanding of the relationship's end. Here, one or both partners may just fade away with little talk about how, when, or why the relationship is over.
- Attributional conflict: engaging in conflict about why the end of the relationship is inevitable. This is where you argue over whether the relationship should end or continue, but about why the relationship is not working out. For example, couples may intensely argue over whether their lack of intimacy or their surplus of conflict is causing the relationship to end. Subsequently, this conflict usually causes the relationship to be over.
- Negotiated farewell: explicitly discussing the end of a relationship in a civil manner without conflict, malice, or resistance. Here, partners generally agree that the relationship shouldn't continue and that they should part ways.
Baxter (1984) found that the most common termination strategies are indirect like withdrawal, pseudo-de-escalation, cost escalation, and fading away. Unfortunately, indirect strategies are not always the most sensitive, thoughtful, or caring ways to end a relationship. Indirect strategies can be hurtful when the person being broken up with finally realizes what's going on. Don't get me wrong, direct strategies are not always the best choice either. For instance, fait accompli and attributional conflict can be quite aggressive and down right mean at times. Overall, the negotiated farewell strategy is likely the most tactful and respectful way to end your romance.
BUT! There's a big BUT here! Depending on your goals, negotiating a farewell with your partner may not always be the best way to go. Think back to your answers to those questions posed earlier in this post: What do you want to accomplish regarding your current relationship? What type of relationship do you want to have with your former partner in the future (after the break-up)? How do you want to see yourself and have others see you? The answers to all three of these questions will influence your choice of strategy. For instance, if you want to end your relationship immediately, to never speak with your future ex-partner again, to seriously hurt his or her feelings, and to have other people see you as a mean, heartless individual, then you may choose withdrawal or fait accompli. Both would allow you to attain your goals. So, think about your goals, and choose a strategy that will help you achieve them.
- DO talk to your mate face-to-face about how you feel
- DON'T break things off over a text message, on the phone, or on facebook
- DO tell our partner what's bothering you about the relationship
- DON'T ignore your partner until he or she gets the clue
- DO be respectful of his or her feelings- be empathetic
- DON'T rant and rave about how they're not good enough for you or how they ruined the relationship
- DO acknowledge the good times
- DON'T focus the entire conversation on what went wrong
- DO encourage your partner to find a relationship that works and is healthy
- DON'T state that he or she is a terrible relationship partner
Hopefully, these codes of conduct will make your relationship dissolution a more satisfying experience for the both of you.
Maybe you're in a relationship that is full of criticism and conflict, or maybe you took the Romantic Potential Survey, the Trust Survey, or the Commitment Readiness Survey and realized that your relationship just isn't going anywhere, or maybe you're in a relationship that isn't working out but somehow you can't seem to break things off. If there's no hope for the future, use the tips from this post to effectively break-up with your mate. Because, as we all know, breaking up is hard to do.

This is my first post here - and I will start by saying how much I appreciate all the work that's gone into this project.
I started with the defaults (media library turned off) and found everything working well for me. I am particularly glad to see some thumbnail images for tracks (wishing that there could be thumbs up at the album level) - as this is often neglected by other media server implementations (and is the reason I'm on the look-out for a new server). But navigating my large CD collection (stored on 2TB NAS) is difficult without being able to break it down by Genre...
...So I enabled Media Library and was glad to see some excellent search combinations, however, there seems to be no album art using this access mode. I have tried the "Resest media library" button, and initiated a scan of the share folder and waited half a day - but no change. Switching off the media library gets me back the art, but loses me the breakdown by Genre.
On the subject of Genre, mostly I get a numeric code in brackets such as (71) instead of "Lo-Fi" (I ripped my collection in Windows Media Player 11 and often chose my own tags for Genre in the "Advanced Tag Editor" panel) so is there a way to translate these codes into text?

The Summit Tiger football team snapped its five-game losing streak Friday with a 31-13 win over the in-conference Alameda Pirates.
Going into the fourth quarter, the Tigers were ahead 24-0, looking like they might dish out a shutout rather than be handed one, but when the Tigers put younger players on the field on both sides of the ball, it allowed the Pirates a slight comeback.
"It was nice ... to get some points under our belt last night," head coach Dylan Hollingsworth said. "That was a good start to the evening. And hopefully, we'll get rid of that monkey-on-our-back feeling ... in regards to all the bounces and everything."
All season, Hollingsworth has been quick to credit his defense for either keeping the team in the game or creating the opportunity for a win. Friday night was no different, starting early on with senior defensive back Coy Coker stripping the ball from the Pirates and setting the stage for the second touchdown of the game.
"Ben Sloan has been playing unbelievable football lately," Hollingsworth said, adding that the senior defensive back has led the team in tackles in recent games. Friday night, he tallied seven, tied with senior defensive lineman Nolan Rookey. Senior linebacker Nic Berry put up six tackles in the game against the Pirates.
The Tigers wanted to shut down the Pirates' running game, and did.
"They're a double-wing team," Hollingsworth said. "All they wanted to do is run the ball. We wanted to take that away as much as possible."
It worked. Senior defensive lineman Cayman Lee intercepted a Pirate throw, reversing its direction for a Tiger touchdown.
On offense, Berry and senior quarterback Sean Farley each brought the ball to the endzone, with Farley adding a field goal to the mix.
"We really started to establish a running game, and did that pretty well," Hollingsworth said.
The Tiger offense saw three turnovers - all three were interceptions - in the game, with Farley's throws floating a little long and creating problems.
Berry and Farley did the bulk of the work on offense, with Berry carrying 16 times for 118 yards and Farley rushing eight times for 105 yards. The team totaled 357 rushing yards on 47 attempts during the game. The fullbacks chipped in more than usual Friday night, with junior Nick Cousino putting up 39 yards in eight attempts. Junior Duncan Roberts and senior CJ Moll helped relieve some of Berry's running duties, too.
Several weeks ago, Hollingsworth said he wanted to find a way to take some of the load off Berry, but so far, the team still leans heavily on the senior running back. Attempts to ease the burden have been unsuccessful, Hollingsworth said, "because in relieving him, we fell behind in other things. I need to find a way to get other kids involved."
Hollingsworth has a few guys in mind, including senior running back Vince Flores, who had six rushes for 63 yards.
"I need for him to really step it up these last three weeks," Hollingsworth said. "He's a kid who can come help Nic."
There's also the possibility of involving Rookey more in the tight end slot. He had a few significant catches Friday night, including play action opening him up for a 37-yard catch early in the game.
"We need to find a way to keep him more involved. He's too good a player. We need to get him the ball," Hollingsworth said.
Sitting on a 2-5 record after Friday's win, the Tigers set their sights on Arvada, a "vastly improved" team, Hollingsworth said. Under the guidance of the former D'Evelyn defensive coordinator, the team promises to be competition for the Tigers.
"For us, it's another week to improve. We're taking this one step at a time. If we can play like we did Friday night, we feel like we can handle our own," Hollingsworth said.
That is, provided the Tigers can ward off the penalties and turnovers that are proving to be their offensive Achilles heel this season.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (a-mi-o-TROE-fik LAT-ur-ul skluh-ROE-sis), or ALS, is a nervous system (neurological) disease that causes muscle weakness and impacts physical function.
ALS is often called Lou Gehrig's disease, after the famous baseball player who was diagnosed with it. ALS is a type of motor neuron disease that causes nerve cells to gradually break down and die. In the United States, ALS is sometimes called motor neuron disease.
In most cases, doctors don't know why ALS occurs. A small number of cases are inherited.
ALS often begins with muscle twitching and weakness in an arm or leg, or sometimes with slurring of speech. Eventually, ALS can affect your ability to control the muscles needed to move, speak, eat and breathe. ALS can't be cured and eventually leads to death.

The superintendent of Carter Lake National Park does not expect to have to truck in water this summer to augment supplies diminished by drought and senior water rights.
Craig Ackerman told the Herald and News newspaper that an exemption granted by the Oregon Water Resources Commission for cooking, drinking and sanitation should make such measures unnecessary.
Meanwhile, he says, the park, lodge and restaurants are going ahead with installation of low-flow toilets, faucets and shower heads as part of an overall conservation effort.
The park's drinking water comes from Annie Creek, a tributary of the Wood River, which this year for the first time came under regulation of senior water rights held by the Klamath Tribes. That has forced irrigation shutoffs in the upper Klamath Basin.
