Officers injured in collision while headed to a call
Published: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 7:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at 7:13 p.m.
Two Polk County deputies were rushed to St. Luke's Hospital Wednesday afternoon with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries after their vehicles collided on John Shehan Road in Tryon.
Sgt. C. M. Goodson of the State Highway Patrol said officers Brian Atkins and Jerad McFalls, both of the Polk County Sheriff's Office, were heading to a traffic stop around 3:30 p.m. when Atkins attempted a U-turn.
Atkins, who was driving a Ford Crown Victoria, whipped onto John Shehan Road, near Highway 9, and "immediately came into the path" of McFalls' Chevy Tahoe SUV, Goodson said. Atkins was pinned inside the squad car until help arrived.
The accident is still under investigation.

ATHENS-----Georgia's late surge was not enough to overcome Furman's early runs as the Paladins defeated the Bulldogs 7-5 Tuesday at Foley Field.
Furman improved to 15-6 while Georgia lost its fifth straight to fall to 8-13 including 1-5 in midweek contests. It didn't take long for the Furman to get on the scoreboard. Before recording an out, the Paladins had scored three runs. Right fielder Taylor Johnson's single with men on first and second knocked in the first run of the game. During the next at bat, Georgia's freshman starting pitcher David Gonzalez threw a wild pitch allowing another run to score. Then, first baseman Alex Abrams singled to left to make it 3-0.
In the bottom of the first, Georgia responded with two runs. Sophomore second baseman Nelson Ward reached base on a single and was able to advance to second when Johnson misplayed the ball. After a bunt, Ward scored the first run on a groundout by Kyle Farmer. Next, sophomore left fielder Hunter Cole hit his second home run of the year, closing the Furman lead to one.
However in the second, the Paladins tacked on another run off of Gonzalez, who picked up his second loss of the season while allowing three hits, four runs and three walks in one inning of work.
After two scoreless innings, Furman added to their lead in the fifth. Abrams led off with a single that took a bad hop right over Ward's head and then third baseman Chris Ohmsteade doubled to left center. Abrams scored on a groundout by left fielder Griffin Davis and Ohmsteade was plated by designated hitter Jarrod Rickman's single up the middle. Rickman later scored on an error by Farmer, to put the Paladins up 7-2.
The Bulldogs put two more runs on the board in the seventh. Ward led off with a bloop single to left field and then Farmer hit his first triple of the season to score Ward. A Cole sacrifice fly, then scored Farmer. Georgia also added one more in the eighth, sophomore Jared Walsh singled, moved to second on a walk, to third on a fielder's choice and eventually scored on a groundout by pinch hitter Sean McLaughlin. In the ninth, Cole singled with two outs bringing the tying run to the plate, but catcher Zach Bowers struck out swinging to end the game.
Drake Browne (1-0) earned the win, while Matt Solter picked up his fifth save of the season.
"We just have got to get better, you look out there, and it's sad, but it's a fact that these teams are playing better than us right now," said Georgia coach David Perno "We still have time, and we have got to get better. We will do better and get better performances from guys we just have to hang in there and keep pushing and hopefully in a couple weeks we will learn a lot and be a different team."
Georgia did get 1.1 scoreless innings of relief from Ross Ripple plus two scoreless innings of relief from junior Dylan Cole and freshman Mike Mancuso.
The Bulldogs return to action Friday at 7 p.m. as Alabama comes to Foley Field to open a three-game SEC series.

2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, Mr Irving?
3 MR IRVING: My Lord, there are two or three minor housekeeping
4matters left over from the testimony of Professor van
5Pelt. If I can put them to you. There are five points,
6actually very minor ones. Firstly, I was wrong about
7Tauber in one respect and it is quite right that I should
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: What, bending down?
10 MR IRVING: I beg your pardon? Bending down, yes. It was the
11witness Bendal who had bent down. The reference is to
12crematorium (iv) and not (ii) which was, if you remember,
13the one we were shown with the shutters on the wall on the
15 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, the 30 by 40 centimetres?
16 MR IRVING: I beg your pardon?
17 MR JUSTICE GRAY: 30 by 40 centimetres?
18 MR IRVING: The shutters, yes, but obviously I was wrong on
19that. It was with reference to the other eyewitness.
20I was right about the air raid. It was on May 5th 1943.
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You say air raid in the singular -- just the
23 MR IRVING: Just the one. There had been an air raid before
24the document dated May 5th 1943. The night before there
25had been an air raid. You amy remember Professor van Pelt
26saying he thought there was no air raids until 1944.
1 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Was that an Russian air raid or an Allied?
2 MR IRVING: That I do not know, but it is referred to in a
3volume known to the Defence, the Auschwitz Chronicle,
4which is a relatively authoritative work.
5 Your Lordship enquired one or two days earlier
6what the reference was for the fact that Professor van
7Pelt alleged in his report that I had only disclosed the
8existence of the Almeyer report after it was referred and
9after solicitors for the Defendants obtained it. The
10reference is page 390 of his report. My Lord, I have
11these points listed on a sheet of paper which I can hand
12to your clerk.
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That is probably a good idea, if you would
14not mind?
15 MR IRVING: My Lord, you remember we described the witness
16Olaire, the artist, and I referred to an incident with
17sausages, the SS-made sausage from the victims , according
18to Olaire, and I was not able to find the specific
19reference. It is in Pressac, as I said, on page 554. It
20is on the fourth column of the page, lines 17 to 22.
21 Finally, my Lord, I asked witness van Pelt if he
22was familiar with a book by Mr Brugioni, B-R-U-G-I-O-N-I,
23called "Photo Fakery". He was one of the CIA experts who
24had first published the air photographs with the dots on
25the roof. That is the jacket of the book, my Lord.
26 Those are the only which points I wish to refer
1to and, with your Lordship's permission, I will now call
2my witness, Professor McDonald.
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Just before you do, can I just mention two
4things to Mr Rampton? The first is that Professor van
5Pelt was going to do a little sort of elementary ----
6 MR RAMPTON: He was going to, yes.
7 MR JUSTICE GRAY: -- sketch, I do not mean drawing but...
8 MR RAMPTON: Diagram, plan.
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: And a little explanation of what was where
10and so on.
11 MR RAMPTON: That is right.
12 MR JUSTICE GRAY: It is just to remind you about that. The
13other thing is -- this goes back a few days now --
14Mr Irving's various speeches on which you rely, mostly in
15the US and Canada and some in Australia, I think I have
16already asked if it would be possible to have, ideally on
17tape, the excerpts that you rely on.
18 MR RAMPTON: On tape?
19 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes.
20 MR RAMPTON: You mean if they are ----
21 MR JUSTICE GRAY: On a disk.
22 MR RAMPTON: Yes.
23 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Is that something you have got in hand?
24 MR RAMPTON: Yes, it is all in hand.
25 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Good.
26 MR RAMPTON: What your Lordship will get in the end -- your
1Lordship has a hard copy file of the denial passages
2marked up already; for other categories of statement, that
3will also happen -- is a disk also marked up in the same
5 MR JUSTICE GRAY: You can see why it is going to be physically
6much easier to handle.
7 MR RAMPTON: It is going to make it a lot easier, yes.
8 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Thank you very much.
9 MR IRVING: My Lord, can I enquire? When you refer to the
10bundle of transcripts, does your Lordship take cognisance
11of the entire transcript, even if a particular passage is
12not relied on here?
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: I think I have said this in court already
14and, if I have not, I will say it now. I really want to
15know what they are relying on. You can always take the
16point that it is taken out of context or it does not put
17the true flavour of what you have said, but the starting
18point must be that I know what they rely on.
19 MR IRVING: Indeed, my Lord, but if there were other passages
20there which caught your eye which I would otherwise
21normally have required to address your Lordship on, I am
22not aware of that. There is a danger, therefore, that you
23may take these as gospels when, in fact ----
24 MR JUSTICE GRAY: We can be quite open about it. Once this
25disk is to hand, then you can see it and, if there are any
26particular points you want to make on it, then you can.

Democrat Ninesling running for lieutenant governor
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 15, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
MONTGOMERY | An Alabama man who spends half his time working in Africa plans to run as a Democrat against Republican Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey.
Scott Ninesling (nihn-SLING') said Monday his job as a fire chief and emergency response supervisor for a liquefied natural gas plant in Angola requires him to spend every other month out of the country, but he believes good planning will allow him to mount a strong campaign during the time he is home in Alabama.
Ninesling, 42, grew up in Prattville and makes his home in nearby Pine Level. The first-time candidate is the only Democrat to announce so far for the lieutenant governor's race, but he said Democratic Party officials haven't paid him much attention.
"I expected that, because I'm not part of the establishment," he said.
Ivey, 68, won two terms as state treasurer before upsetting Democratic incumbent Jim Folsom Jr. in 2010 to win the lieutenant governor's office. She kicked off her re-election campaign in late June and, so far, has no opposition in the Republican primary, set for June 3, 2014.
Ninesling said he decided to challenge Ivey because he was upset with how the state's prepaid college tuition plan ran into financial trouble when Ivey was administering the program as state treasurer. Ninesling, who has a 2-year-old child, said his child was not in the Prepaid Affordable College Tuition program but said he he feels sorry for parents who are struggling with how to pay for their children's college education after not getting the full in-state tuition they expected from PACT.
He accused Ivey of using the lieutenant governor's position to help the Republican majority in the Senate suppress Democratic input into state government rather than presiding fairly. "This failure of performance and lack of leadership is not what the people of Alabama need sitting a heartbeat away from the governor's office," he said.
Ivey said voters wanted a change in the status quo in 2010 and she has delivered.
"Since being sworn in, I have presided over some of the most productive sessions of the Alabama Senate in our state's history and look forward to running on those accomplishments: service to our state, bringing jobs to our state and standing up for the right of our people against the overreach of the federal government," she said.
The lieutenant governor's compensation varies from year to year depending on whether the Legislature has special sessions, but it was $70,842 in fiscal year 2012. Ninesling said that if he wins, the compensation would be less than he makes now, but the position would be worth it.
The general election is set for Nov. 4, 2014.

Saluda, SC--Coming off a one win season a year ago, the attitude is pretty darn good at Saluda. Despite only having a handful of seniors, Doug Painter and the boys are ready to roll towards respect and being a quality football team.
While the Tigers may be short in the tooth in the experience department, the are excited about the prospects of who they have. Led by Tevin Mcgraw, Almonty Abney and Wendell Gantt the leadership quality is there. As they get ready to start the season, they'll be leaning on the defense to carry them early as the offense gets up to speed with the new faces.
"We're bigger up front then we have been on defense" said coach Doug Painter "We've got some experience at linebacker, so those two things combined and a little more speed in our secondary, our defense is going to have to step up for us and play good for us and then our offensive line will kind of have to come along and mesh and then we'll be ok."
"If you just look at us, we're just three dominant guys that should be dominant." said Tevin McGraw "If we're not being dominant, then something is wrong."
Now don't expect this team to be gangbusters out of the gate. It'll take some time before both sides of the ball are on the same page.

Should the Use of Bird Apps Outdoors Be Banned?
It's long been known that the undersea noise we create with our large machines — oil drilling equipment, ships and submarines — has a detrimental effect on whales, causing hearing damage and changes in feeding, mating and communication. And noise from snowmobiles has often been cited as the reason some species of animals in Yellowstone National Park are being stressed and pushed out of their preferred habitats, impacting their health and increasing mortality.
It turns out that our large machines, though, may not be our only cause for concern when it comes to outdoor noise pollution and its effects on the natural world. Our small, compact mobile phones — and the apps we put on them — have been shown to change the behavior of birds.
Will the noise we individuals are increasingly capable of imposing upon other species outdoors soon also have enough power to affect their ability to survive?

Tear Down This Wall: A City, A President, and the Speech that Ended the Cold War
Thursday, November 5, 2009
6:30pm @ Central Library
To mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, author Romesh Ratnesar discusses how the relationship between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev led to Reagan's famous "Tear Down This Wall" speech and the end of the Cold War.
Ratnesar is the author of a new book, Tear Down This Wall: A City, A President, and the Speech that Ended the Cold War, an account of how Reagan came to give the speech in front of 20,000 people in West Berlin and the events that followed.
Departing from the view that Reagan "won" the Cold War, Ratnesar contends that both Reagan and Gorbachev played indispensable roles in bringing about an end to the United States-Soviet Union rivalry and that it was the trust they shared that allowed them to overcome the suspicions that held their predecessors back.
Ratnesar draws on interviews with dozens of former Reagan administration officials, journalists, historians, and eyewitnesses to the speech in both the U.S. and Germany, as well as recently declassified State Department documents and East German records of Reagan's trip.
Ratnesar is the deputy managing editor of Time magazine. He has written dozens of cover stories on U.S. foreign policy and international affairs and reported from many countries around the world.
Major funding for this event has been provided by Adam Starr.

AUSTIN (December 19, 2012)--Texas Gov. Rick Perry Wednesday asked the embattled Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas to stop awarding grants until concerns about the beleaguered agency are resolved.
The institute, which controls the nation's second-largest pot of cancer research dollars, behind the federal National Institutes of Health, was founded in 2009 with an unprecedented $3 billion in state money and promises of cancer breakthroughs.
But a criminal investigation, widespread criticism from scientists and the resignations of agency officials amid suggestions of politics and personal profit have come faster than medical discoveries.
Perry made his request Wednesday in a letter he, the lieutenant governor and House speaker sent to the cancer agency's oversight committee.

WASHINGTON (December 12, 2012)--Some of the anxiety about the fiscal cliff may be misplaced and a brief fall over the fiscal cliff probably wouldn't be too damaging, economists say.
Even if New Year's passes with no deal, there would be no need to panic as long as an agreement seemed likely soon.
The tax increases and spending cuts could be retroactively repealed, and experts say the impact of the tax increases would be felt only gradually.
Most people would receive slightly less money in each paycheck.
One economist said the belief that recession is the inevitable result of a plunge off the fiscal cliff is wrong.
Lewis Alexander of Nomura Securities said it would "ultimately depend on how long the policies are in place."
Most economists say they expect a deal, if not by New Year's then soon after, and that businesses and consumers will likely remain calm for a while.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) recently asked President Obama to protect Mojave Trails, Sand to Snow and the Castle Mountains as national monuments in the California Desert, using presidential powers under the Antiquities Act.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), would add federally owned land in six iconic locations to the California Coastal National Monument - first established in 2000 and previously expanded by President Barack Obama in 2014.
California's vast and magnificent deserts are home to iconic wildlife, incredible outdoor recreation opportunities and stunning scenic landscapes, as well as some of the nation's best renewable energy resources.
California has long led the nation with its commitment to clean energy and recently announced even more ambitious clean energy goals for the state.
The Bureau of Land Management in California has taken a great step forward with its decision to protect a special part of the desert by denying an application for a large-scale solar project in the remote Silurian Valley.
For years there has been a growing demand on public lands in California and other parts of the west to support clean sources of energy like wind and solar power.
Death Valley National Park's "sailing stones" have mystified scientists for decades.
Though everyone had a great time, this was no ordinary afternoon at AT&T Park.
You have the rare opportunity to protect the San Gabriel Mountains by speaking directly to key Washington officials. If you attend the listening session, you can tell decision makers that you support a national monument and the protection of these mountains.
About 80 percent of Los Angeles County voters expressed support for protecting the San Gabriel Mountains and rivers, including preserving wildlife habitat, outdoor r
Chronic under-funding has left our nation's trail system in poor shape. Support a bill that would change that.

Heart Disease Health Center
Arthritis and Takayasu's Arteritis
In this article
What Is Arteritis?
Arteritis is a general term that refers to the inflammation of arteries -- blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart and to the rest of the body. A closely related condition called vasculitis is inflammation of blood vessels in general -- including veins and arteries.
What Is Takayasu's Arteritis?
Takayasu's arteritis is an uncommon condition in which inflammation damages large and medium-sized arteries. The arteries most commonly affected are the branches of the aorta (the main blood vessel that leaves the heart), including the blood vessels that supply blood to the arms and travel through the neck to provide blood to the brain. The aorta itself is also often affected.
Less commonly, arteries that provide blood to the heart, intestines, kidneys, and legs may be involved.
Inflammation of large blood vessels may cause segments of the vessels to weaken and stretch, resulting in an aneurysm (bulging blood vessel). Vessels also can become narrowed or even completely blocked (called an occlusion).
Takayasu's arteritis was named for Dr. Mikoto Takayasu, the doctor who first described the disorder in 1908.
What Are the Symptoms of Takayasu's Arteritis?
Approximately half of all people with Takayasu's arteritis will have a sense of generalized illness. This may include low grade fevers, swollen glands, anemia, dizziness, night sweats, muscle aches, and/or arthritis.
The changes that occur in Takayasu's arteritis are often gradual, allowing alternate (collateral) routes of blood flow to develop. These alternate routes are typically smaller blood vessels. The collateral vessels may not be able to carry as much blood as the normal vessels.
In general, however, the blood flow that occurs beyond an area of narrowing is almost always adequate to allow tissues to survive. In rare cases, if collateral blood vessels are not available in sufficient quantity, the tissue that is normally supplied with blood and oxygen by those vessels will die.
Narrowing of blood vessels to the arms or legs may cause fatigue, pain, or aching due to reduced blood supply -- especially during activities such as shampooing the hair, exercising, or walking. It is much less common for decreased blood flow to cause a stroke or a heart attack. In some people, decreased blood flow to the intestines may lead to abdominal pain, especially after meals.

Hi all,
OK...after banging my head for the past week or so trying to make this work the way I think It works, I'm just going to ask.....
I have a Windows 7 home network with a Vizio smart TV. Model M3D421SR. I confirmed with Vizio that it is DLNA compatible & It will play AVI & MP4 videos via a USB memory stick.
Question #1
I DO NOT have a Playstation 3. Is PS3 media server suppose to serve media from a PC connected to my network without a Playstation 3?
Question #2
What is the definition of a renderer? Is a renderer the TV itself in this case?
I have tried so much that I'm begining to doubt my original premise of what PS3 media server is supposed to do. lol

Is 'Tag' the Secret to Preserving Old Friendships?
By Russell Adams
Since The Wall Street Journal published a story about 10 friends locked in a 23-year game of Tag, readers from around the world have written to share their thoughts about the value of friendship and the often-unusual ways old friends preserve ties.
One reader said he and his friend have been exchanging a bottle of Binaca since 1972. What began with a series of "rapid-fire exchanges" when they were schoolmates has evolved into a more sophisticated, bicoastal battle. For four decades, the two men have gone to ever-greater lengths to pass off the bottle of breath-freshening spray. One year one of the guys received the bottle at the check-in counter at a Venice hotel. Another exchange happened during a wedding.
"He now has it and I am on my toes!" writes Ken Zeitler.
Another set of friends that plays a game involving "an imaginary blowgun and dart that paralyzes the target…who has to request help from a passerby to regain his freedom to move," one of the participants wrote.
Many other readers said they don't have such a tradition but wished they did. In the spirit of getting things started, the Journal has posted a copy of the contract that governs the game of Tag that Brian Dennehy, Patrick Schultheis and the rest of their friends have been playing since 1990. You can see it here.

North Port assistant principal reassigned
Published: Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 5:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 5:43 p.m.
NORTH PORT - A North Port assistant principal who was arrested for drunk driving was recently reassigned for living with another teacher at her school, Sarasota district officials said.
Lauren Orr, who had been an administrator at Lamarque Elementary, is now a teacher at Toledo Blade Elementary, said district spokesman Scott Ferguson.
The move came Sept. 3 — a few weeks before Orr accepted a plea deal with the state attorney's office and pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of reckless driving, defense attorney AnneMarie Rizzo said.
Orr declined to comment.
As a teacher, Orr's salary did not decrease from her assistant principal pay.
At the start of the school year, her annual salary was listed at $93,384 which made her the highest paid teacher in the district.
Ferguson said Orr is under her current yearly contract at her current salary. If she continues teaching in the next fiscal year that starts July 1, 2014, she will receive a teacher's salary.
Ferguson said he hesitated to call Orr's new job a demotion. "It's a reassignment, in our view," he said.
The district began investigating Orr after receiving an anonymous letter written by another teacher at Lamarque.
The district forbids a teacher and a supervisor at the same work site from living in the the same household together, Ferguson said.
The teacher observed the two staff members spending an unusual amount of time together and accused them of having a romantic relationship, the letter said.
The teacher writing the letter was concerned rumors would fly if there were staff layoffs, and the relationship "saved" Orr's alleged lover.
"The situation with their relationship will not (be) safe for either of them with performance pay coming up," the letter said, referring to the fact that some teachers will be observed by administrators and have their pay based on their evaluations next school year.
"I am mainly writing this letter because I want to inform (Principal Sally) Mancheno what is happening at her school," the letter said. "Please take the time to investigate with open eyes."
The anonymous letter praised Orr's work at the school, calling her a "wonderful AP."
It was not the first time Orr had been in trouble. Orr could not be reached for comment.
Orr was arrested last school year following a Jan. 27 car crash.
At about 6:30 p.m.,Orr's car hit the back of an SUV at Honore Avenue and State Road 72, according to police records.
Authorities found Orr, whose breath smelled strongly of alcohol, slurring her words, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
Authorities also found a wine bottle in a plastic bag on the floor in the backseat.
A breath test reportedly showed her blood-alcohol content registered at 0.082 and 0.081 percent, slightly above the 0.08 percent level at which Florida drivers are considered intoxicated and unable to drive.
As part of a Sept. 23 plea deal with the state attorney's office, Orr paid a $500 fine and needed 50 hours of community service, according to her defense attorney AnneMarie Rizzo.
Rizzo said she was pleased with the plea deal.
"Having the DUI dropped was a very positive outcome," she said.
Rizzo added Orr hopes to move back as an assistant principal someday.
"She's suffered a lot as a result of it," Rizzo said. "She's hopeful this is behind her.
"She takes great priority in her job, work and education."

Yarn Profile: Himalaya Recycled Silk
First Impressions
The result is an extraordinary material with vibrant color and texture. It's unlike anything I've ever seen. Although you can choose from two basic color themes, each skein is otherwise unique.
Knitting Up
Use care when undoing stitches, because this can pull more fibers from the yarn. Also, to prevent loose ends from fraying, tie knots in them.
As a handspun yarn, the spin isn't entirely consistent. At some points it tightens, causing the yarn to kink up slightly.
As long as I loosened up any twisted areas while knitting, the kinks dissolved completely into the knitted swatch. Stitches were surprisingly even and there were few gaps, despite the yarn's varying thickness and texture.
Any problems were outweighed by the immense pleasure and amazement I derived from watching the colors unfold before me.
Blocking / Washing
The fiber exuded a strong almost oil-like odor while wet, but once dry the smell dissipated. Swatches required a little bit of prodding to get back into shape, but once fixed they held their shape.
Nevertheless, surprisingly few fibers came loose from the yarn while I was knitting. Like a good mohair, the loose fibers are actually tightly held by the core yarn.
Only after what I consider undue thrashing did the loose fibers begin to fall out of the swatches. In the process, the swatches softened and became even more floppy than they were originally.
I'd classify this as a semi-delicate yarn appropriate for special garments that will be worn by considerate people. This means no football jersies or newborn blankets.
The Handworks Gallery has two patterns to support Himalaya, and it's easy to find other patterns that knit up at 3.5 sts/inch. Even as a scarf, the Recycled Silk would be extraordinary.
If you like smoother knitting and steady colors, you can stick to the company's non-recycled product, Himalaya 100% Silk. But if you aren't afraid of color, don't mind a bit of texture, and are looking for a truly different knitting experience, please give Recycled Silk a try.Talk about this yarn in our forums
Previous Reader Comments
"The Himalyan silk was great fun and I made a wonderful evening bag on small needles. And a sweater mixing it with mohair and some cotton in stripoes. It is really stunning and fun to work with." poetdove2, 9/11/2001
"I used it in a pillow cover. I loved working with it and found no over twisting in my skein. The color is just strikingly beautiful! See a picture of pillow done in Himalaya at http://www.witznd.net/knitter." Sue, 5/21/2001
"I wasn't very happy with this yarn. The colors are beautiful and I liked the texture, but that is about all it had going for it. For one thing, it was very difficult to knit with. It kinked up so badly I had to stop every row or two and unwind it. I also had to be very careful unkinking it because it would break in two. I had to count every stitch as I knit because the yarn varied in thickness sometimes from one stitch to the next by so much that I kept loosing stitches if I didn't. It was also almost impossible to unknit. And lastly, the top I made was uncomfortably heavy. I definitely don't feel it was worth the high price tag I paid for it." cputnam1, 5/21/2001
"I sold a batch of the Recyled Silk in my shop and was thrilled with the
color etc. One customer made a sweater out of it and feels it is a bit
heavy to wear; thinking of reusing the yarn in another garment with other
yarns. To each his own. 'Just One More Row' has a lovely purse pattern
using this yarn." knitwit, 5/17/2001

Terrain: This is a deceptively open-looking course at first glance - but there are enough trees, hills, and windy lakeside shots to add a LOT of technical challenge. The huge ponderosa pines and numerous spruce trees are unique and challenging obstacles to play around, creating several tough tunnel-shot drives and defending many of the targets. The terrain and lake-views also make this one of the prettiest city parks in Iowa, in my humble opinion.

Firefighters in about five trucks responded to an alarm that was tripped around 7 p.m. Friday at the Plaza Terrace apartments on 30th Street NW, but it was an apparent false alarm.
Battalion Chief Akbar Bennett said that in addition to the alarm a resident noticed the smell of smoke in the elevator shaft.
He said firefighters smelled the odor, which may have been electrical in nature. However, they could not find the source if the odor and saw no smoke or flames. They searched the maintenance room elevator shaft and roof and found nothing.
Bennett said tenants were told to stay temporarily in their apartments until firefighters could figure out what was going on. No one was hurt.
The firefighters left the scene at about 7:30 p.m.

Interior Department Awards $3.7 Million to 13 Tribes for Renewable Energy
The U.S. Department of the Interior announced on March 11 that its Office of Indian Energy and Economic Development (IEED) has awarded $3.7 million to 13 tribes that are developing renewable energy resources for their communities. IEED selected six geothermal, four biomass, and three hydroelectric power projects for tribes located in the states of California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin. The proposed projects were identified by the individual tribes, which developed comprehensive proposals that were evaluated by IEED under a competitive process. Access to these renewable resources will allow these communities to develop jobs and additional economic opportunities on their tribal lands, while decreasing their reliance on fossil fuels. See the Interior Department press release for the full list of tribes.

Maine bill would ban mushroom foraging without OK
Fiddlehead and mushroom foragers in Maine would need written permission from the owner of the land they grow on under a proposed law that would make it illegal to take any natural resource from somebody's property without written approval.
If passed by lawmakers, the bill would make it a civil violation to take plants, minerals, objects or anything else that exists naturally from private property without approval.
Rep. Walter Kumiega, who introduced the bill, says he's heard of people taking stones from stone walls, blueberry plants and even decorative reindeer moss without the landowner's OK.
But mushroom forager David Spahr, of Washington, says such a law is unneeded and simply creates another layer of regulation.
The bill was referred to the Legislature's Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee this week.

Achieving Business Visibility
By Harish Gaur on Sep 24, 2013
Achieving Business Visibility
Traditional BPM lifecycle begins with mapping key organizational processes into a graphical model. Achieving a common understanding of current process and ideal to-be process requires close engagement with process stakeholders. For ex: In a call center scenario, manager of the call center operations would know best how call center handles customer escalations.
Process stakeholders are motivated to improve processes. Modeling is just a medium to get there. Hence, once the processes are modeled and automated, it is imperative that we give these process stakeholders the required level of visibility into the entire process execution. This visibility enables them to observe, orient, decide and act (check out "OODA Loop" by John Boyd).
Different process stakeholders have different visibility needs.
Real-time visibility – This gives operational users real-time view into process execution, enable them to identify areas of bottlenecks and take actions immediately. Ex: In a call center, a call center manager may benefit from real-time visibility in agent performance, call metrics and use it to distribute call load evenly.
Historic Visibility – Traditionally delivered with BI, these dashboards provide historical insight into business performance. BI dashboards allow business executives to analyze process metrics with contextual data to detect important business trends. Ex: In a call center, VP of call center would be more interested how customer satisfaction has been improving over past 6-12 months.
Prescriptive Visibility – Analytics can recommend users to take certain actions by learning from past and present behavior. This insight can be very powerful, accurate and alleviate the burden of analyzing data from the end user. Ex: Call center agent is fielding calls from customers requesting an increase in credit limit. Dashboard to recommend him to cancel or approve the request based on customer's spending history as well as how similar requests have been handled in the past.
Most vendors only focus on siloed dashboards and fail to deliver user centric, actionable insights. Its important that dashbaords deliver unified experience – bring together all aspects of visibility (real-time, historic, prescriptive) in a seamless fashion and enable users to make intelligent business decisions.
We have started to see companies bringing together process management (BPM) and decision making (BI) capabilities to make business processes intelligent and adaptive. With strong integration between Oracle BPM Suite, Oracle BIEE Suite and Oracle Real-time decisions, you can build dashboards which deliver true business insights at every level in the organization. These insights help process stakeholders take decisions and drive process forward. In next few weeks, we will share an exciting demo which brings this concept of unified business visibility to reality.
At Openworld 2013 in San Francisco, I was joined by Brigette Vinton, Director of Corporate Accounting, Alliance Data Systems (ADS) to discuss business visibility in the session "Achieving End-to-End Business Visibility with BPM and Business Intelligence [CON8609]". ADS is a leading provider of marketing, loyalty and credit solutions. While my talk focused on BI & BPM integration patterns and a BI+BPM+RTD demo , highlight of the session was Brigette's talk on how ADS has streamlined its Capital Expenditure Request (CER) process with Oracle BPM, Oracle BIEE, Oracle WebCenter and PeopleSoft.
Capital Expenditure Request at ADS is a very human centric process. Every time requester initiates a new Capital Expenditure request, it navigates across multiple stakeholders (accounting, business admin, controller, finance) requiring collaboration, document management and dynamic approval management.
Oracle BPM Suite orchestrates this entire process. This enables complete audit trail of the approval process thereby enabling compliance. All approvals and notifications are mobile enabled. Once the expenditure has been approved, BI dashboards provide near-real time visibility into actual costs. At any point, if actual costs of the project exceed the approved budget, BI dashboards automatically trigger BPM process using Action Framework. BI dashboards complete the CER lifecycle to ensure project overspend goes through a review process again. ADS also leverages Oracle Essbase with PeopleSoft to help business users perform complex "what-if" analysis to further fine tune the approval decisions.
AVIO Consulting helped ADS with solution implementation. Project went live in July 2013 and has helped ADS gain visibility in 100+ CERs already. Going forward, ADS is planning to feed approved CERs into Hyperion Planning application for forecasting depreciation.
Whether you refer to it as adaptive business process or business process intelligence, what ADS demonstrated is a classic example of how the world of process automation, business intelligence and predictive analytics together enables complete business visibility.

- sickthis is a freaking cool gun, sweet aim, great power. this is a kick @ss gun. get it.
over and out
- Good plinkerIf you are in the market for a cheap sidearm, you just found it. This little springer really surprised me. This thing is solid as a rock. The medal slide racks back and locks nicely, and rides forward with a really satisfying "ca-chink!". It also is fairly decent on the firing line. While it doesn't offer too much power, it has surprising accuracy. If you are using at close enough ranges, you'll be just fine. If you want a gun that can nail someone 100 feet away, look elsewhere. Good for small wars and plinking around at home. Overall decent sidearm if used in the right situation.
- For a springer.....As everyone knows this is a spring pistol so its not going to pick someone off at 100ft but if your looking into a cheap backup this is it. The metal slide has a nice "clink" when you release the locking slide. But overall this is a great gun.
- great gunThis gun has an amazingly solid feel and great accuracy. I bought it as a birthday present for my brother and it rocks! The metal slide is a great touch. The only disadvantage is that the pin that holds the clip release in can be taken out. This may just be a defect in this one gun or may not. Either way that is the only con in an otherwise amazing gun.
- decent gungun is a good gun. i ended up dropping it from like 1 foot and it just broke apart. it was a good gun while it lasted.

A 10-year-old girl went missing from her Northridge home early Wednesday morning, triggering a massive police response until she was found in the afternoon with bruising and in apparent "shock" from the unexplained ordeal.
After an 11-hour search, Nicole Ryan was found near a strip mall in Woodland Hills about six miles from her home, Los Angeles police Capt. Kris Pitcher said. Apparently she had been spotted by a person who recognized her photo from media reports and contacted officers who were at a nearby Starbucks at Oxnard Street and Canoga Avenue.
Nicole was taken by ambulance to a hospital for a medical assessment and had "facial bruising and lacerations," Pitcher said.
Pitcher said Nicole had been dropped off at the Woodland Hills strip mall by an unidentified person, whom police were still seeking Wednesday afternoon. She was not wearing shoes and had on a white T-shirt, though she was last seen at her home wearing a black T-shirt.Nicole was talking and walking in the hospital and appeared to be healthy. "She basically is in shock right now," Pitcher said.
At a 4 p.m. news conference, police said they had not questioned Nicole in detail because they were attending to her medical needs first.
Her mother said she had last seen the girl in bed about 1 a.m. Wednesday in their home in the 8000 block of Oakdale Avenue, the LAPD said.
The mother went to check on the girl about 3:40 a.m., but she was not there. Her mother searched the house and then called police.
The LAPD spent much of Wednesday searching for Nicole. Pitcher said officers and detectives from every division in the San Fernando Valley joined in the search, along with other officers and FBI agents with the juvenile abduction unit.
"We launched a very large, house-to-house search covering a two-square-mile area," said Pitcher, commander of the LAPD's Devonshire Division.Police said there had been no indications of foul play and were no recent incidents that would have prompted Nicole to run away.
The girl's mother told detectives that she did not have a history of running away.
Neighbor Amanda Velasquez said she has lived behind Nicole Ryan's family for two years, and described the girl as reserved.
"She is very withdrawn and very quiet. She doesn't say much," Velasquez said.
Velasquez said she became aware that something was wrong when she talked with her 4-year-old son in the morning.
"He came in my room about 3:30 or 4 and didn't say anything. Then, in the morning, he told me he'd heard a door slamming," she said.
Nicole Ryan's family also seemed to be up late a lot, Velasquez said.
"They are up at all hours of the night sometimes. I know because their lights shine right on my French doors," she said
Staff writer Gregory J. Wilcox contributed to this report.

The 49ers rivalry with the Seattle Seahawks deepened Sunday, collectively and individually.
After Seattle's 23-17 victory in the NFC Championship game, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree engaged in a war of words that will resonate into next season.
Sherman started it.
After making the game-saving play, batting away an end-zone pass to Crabtree that Malcolm Smith intercepted, Sherman turned an on-field interview with Fox-TV into a ranting monologue.
"I'm the best corner(back) in the game," Sherman screamed. "When you try to come at me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're gonna get.
"Don't you ever talk about me," Sherman said, angrily.
The interviewer, Erin Andrews, was caught completely off-guard, asking Sherman who had spoken ill of him.
"Crabtree," Sherman spat. "Don't open your mouth about the best or I'm going to shut it for you real quick. LOB."
The reference was to the Legion of Boom, a nickname for the Seattle defense. And with that, Sherman was gone, interview done.
Crabtree, in an interview last week, was asked if Sherman was the best cornerback in the game. According to reports, Crabtree said he didn't think so, but then qualified his remark by adding, "I don't know (anything) about the best cornerbacks in the league. I just know teams, you know. We are playing the Seattle Seahawks, and hopefully we come out with a win."
Sunday, with the 49ers driving to victory in the final minute, quarterback Colin Kaepernick lofted a pass to Crabtree in the corner of the end zone. Sherman leaped to bat the ball in the air, and Smith intercepted, effectively ending the game.
Sherman, who starred at Stanford under coach Jim Harbaugh, then chased after Crabtree and was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. Then, for good measure, Sherman made a choke sign toward the 49ers bench on his way off the field.
Asked what Sherman said to him, Crabtree said: "I ain't getting into that. He knows what time it is. We're on the field and he ain't doing nothing. That's one play he made. ... That's probably the only play he made the whole game."
Told of Sherman's postgame rant on Fox, Crabtree smirked and said: "He's a TV guy. I'm not a TV guy. I play ball. He makes one play, he talks."
Sherman was considerably calmer when he appeared on the Fox postgame set later.
"I don't like people saying negative things about me," he said when asked about the Crabtree rant. "I don't like people running their mouth. I told him, 'Good game and good try, but I'm the best corner in the game.' "
Then Sherman went to the interview room where he told reporters (three times) that Crabtree is "mediocre."
Crabtree later wrote the following on his Twitter account: "Film don't lie... @nflnetwork @espn pull up the tape of that game and show me where this guy is the best? #fake #fake #fake."

Hi there, i've been working on a solution to stream system audio, ie any applications audio output to my PS3. Ie send spotify to my PS3 wirelessly..
Currently i have it working using PS3 media server(with the web radio enabled via plugin) + Nicecast to take system audio and make it a stream on my local network. Using the WEB.conf file i just pointed the PS3 media server to the local nicecast stream. This all works fine but it's pretty clunky having to have all these programs open and nicecast is a paid app...
I have tried using programs like Quicktime broadcaster... but no luck, if anyone has any ideas on better ways to do this i'd be stoaked to hear from you.
