WACO (January 8, 2013)—McLennan County Commissioners voted 4-1 Tuesday to abolished the County Budget Office in a move that left budget officer Adam Harry and his assistant without jobs.
County Auditor Stan Chambers will take over the responsibilities of the budget office, which was created in 2010 to oversee the county's budget process.
Chambers' office is under the supervision of the county's state district judges and Commissioner Kelly Snell, who voted against the proposal, said he's concerned that could mean commissioners won't be properly informed on some budget issues.
Snell wanted to keep the budget office to focus full time on the county's budget.

Polk's First Microbrewery, Restaurant in the Works for Downtown Lakeland
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 4:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 4:42 p.m.
LAKELAND | There are bars and taprooms aplenty, but Lakeland may find itself home to a true brewpub, combining a microbrewery and restaurant under one roof.
If it comes to fruition, Lakeland Brewing Company & Old School Annex will be situated on the north shore of downtown's Lake Mirror, adjacent to the train station.
The project already has the blessing of the Lakeland Downtown Development Authority, having recently given a favorable recommendation to the city's planning and zoning board for approval.
"We're very excited about it," said Becky Abel, coordinator of the LDDA. "There's nothing else of that nature in that section. We think that it will eventually be an enhancement to residential (growth) north of the police station, and a great new venue for live music and other things."
Triad II Properties LLC of Lakeland has made formal application to open what could be a first for Polk County. Other than commercial brewing operations, there has never been in recent memory a microbrewery and restaurant where patrons can fill up a glass jug called a growler for home consumption.
The concept calls for a 12,000-square-foot operation where restaurant and bar customers can kick back with a pint of something cold brewed on site and watch staff tending to the hops, malts and machinery.
Francis Janes of Los Angeles, a Triad partner along with his sister, Serena Faruq of Lakeland and her husband, declined to comment for this story, saying he didn't want to jinx the project so early in its development.
"It's just a little premature for us," he said.
"I don't see there being any problem with the conditional use (application). Call me superstitious if you like."
Triad representatives are expected to have their initial public hearing before the planning and zoning board March 19 at 8:30 a.m.
Janes did say that if the project gets a green light, he'll be spending more time in Lakeland renovating a building at 640 E. Main St.
The site, owned by Jerry Herring, a commercial Realtor, currently is used for skateboarders.
Shipyard Brewing Company of Maine had shown interest in the site but no deal ever materialized, said Herring, who is optimistic of Triad's chances.
"They're great people," he said of the Triad group.
"Francis (Janes) is extremely intelligent and absolutely detail-oriented, and creative. I'm really looking for something very positive for that site."
Not much is known about the group's experience, but Herring said he thinks one or more of the partners has restaurant industry expertise.
He said the site, an easy saunter from downtown and adjacent to Lake Mirror Promenade and other park amenities, is perfectly suited for a brewpub.
"The interest is there, the crowd is there," Herring said.

Paintbrush is a Cocoa-based paint program for Mac OS X, similar to Microsoft Paint and the now-defunct MacPaint. The project's ultimate goal is to recreate the basic functionality of Microsoft Paint, which has been noticeably absent from Mac OS X for years. Paintbrush can open and save to most major image formats, including BMP, PNG, JPEG, and GIF.
Paintbrush is not yet full-featured, but is very stable and is being actively developed.
Required OS: 10.5

Excellent application. I use it a lot. As soon as they finish it I'd totally recommend it.
I want to suggest an even greater goal... recreating my favourite app of all time: Superpaint.
I've always dreamed of a day someone would recreate it, I can't figure out how people draw pictures on computers without it.
Wow! I've been waiting for something like this forever! I hope that the developer can fix some of the kinks in Paintbrush, though. For instance, I'm unable to use the "Selection" tool (the scissors icon). Also, scroll-wheel support for zooming would be nice.
But hey, it's looking promising so far!

I enjoyed helping at Clinton Sunday. Many of the concrete forms were placed and the weather was absolutely wonderful.
What a great course! With the alternate Tees and Hole placements, this course will be a big winner for Clinton and all who venture up that way.
I hope to see some photos of the pour Monday as I have babysitting duties and cannot seem to sidestep it.
Wish I were there.

From The Slant:
When it comes to high-tech investments, few players are more closely watched than the trio of Apple, Microsoft (MSFT) and Facebook.
There's good reason for all of the attention — these picks all represent different phases in the mobile revolution that is reshaping consumer, business and investor behavior.
Microsoft once was the ultimate technology company with its dominant Windows and Office duo, but the post-PC age is slowly eating it alive. Apple currently is a dominant player in mobile, but many are worried it's a fading star as devices running Android software from Google (GOOG) continue to gain appeal both at home and abroad. And then you have Facebook, which is growing its mobile audience at a breakneck pace and is one of the few players that seems to have a successful strategy when it comes to the ever-changing smartphone and tablet space.
But when do you stop focusing on the narrative and begin focusing on the numbers? Like with Apple and Microsoft, when do you begin to see the massive cash hoards and operating cash flows as undervalued? And with Facebook, when do you see the optimistic narrative as already baked into shares after a big run?

Cuomo, de Blasio Push Plan to Save Brooklyn Health-Care
Once at odds over the fate of Brooklyn's hospitals, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew Cuomo were unified on Monday in calling for the federal government to help save the borough's health-care system.
At their first joint press event since Mr. de Blasio was inaugurated, the leaders called on the federal government to approve a $10 billion Medicaid waiver that would help the state improve its outpatient care services and rely less on pricier hospital-based care.
Mr. Cuomo said the state deserves the additional funds because reforms to the Medicaid system have already saved both the state and federal government $34 billion.
In calling for the speedy approval of the waiver, Mr. Cuomo and Mr. de Blasio cited the immediate need to deal with the health-care crisis in Brooklyn, where both downtown Brooklyn's Long Island College Hospital and Bedford-Stuyvesant's Interfaith Medical Center are teetering toward closure.
"The situation is critical. It's especially critical in Brooklyn. We have been holding it up for months, propping it up for months," Mr. Cuomo said. "Hospitals in Brooklyn will close if we wait any longer."
Mr. de Blasio acknowledged the role the state has played in stabilizing the situation in Brooklyn and presented a united front with the governor on the issue.
"The state has stepped in. I know it hasn't been easy. I know it hasn't been cheap," he said. "I have spoken directly to Secretary [of Health Kathleen] Sebelius. I have made clear that I feel the same urgency that the governor does."
That marks a very different tone than over the summer, when as a candidate in the Democratic primary Mr. de Blasio was the most public thorn in the side of the state Department of Health over the closure of Long Island College Hospital.
When Mr. de Blasio was arrested in July protesting the looming close of Long Island College Hospital, a spokeswoman for the governor characterized the mayoral candidate's actions as a ploy to draw more attention to his campaign. "If Bill de Blasio becomes mayor and will commit to fully funding LICH to keep it open, we are sure SUNY would be happy to take him up on it," the spokeswoman said. "In the meantime, the people of New York deserve an honest dialogue from those hoping to represent them—not political gimmicks," the spokeswoman said at the time.
On Monday, Messrs. Cuomo and de Blasio stopped short of promising to save the borough's hospitals in their current form, speaking instead of transforming the system overall.
"There's an excess of hospital beds in Brooklyn, but we have to transform the system so the system works overall," Mr. Cuomo said.

An Antrim woman, who was viciously assaulted during a football match at Chimney Corner F.C., has relived her horror after seeing her attacker sent to a young offenders' center at Antrim Magistrates' Youth Court.
Laura Adair, from Springfarm, received horrendous facial injuries and required surgery to rebuild her cheekbone following the brutal assault that left her unable to work for more than two months.
She was playing for Knockbreda against Blackieville Ladies in a N.I. Women's Football Association Division One Match in May when a teenage player on the opposing team attacked her around 70 minutes into the match.

Staff at Slieve Gullion Credit Union in Forkhill endured a terrifying ordeal last Friday evening, November 23, when a three-man gang armed with axes and a handgun entered the premises and forced workers to hand over a sum of money.
The masked trio made their way into the Main Street building shortly after 7:30 p.m. on Friday night and threatened staff with the weapons, before escaping with the stolen cash in a silver-colored VW Golf.
The aggressive robbery was met with widespread condemnation, with Newry and Armagh Sinn Féin M.L.A. Megan Fearon describing it as "a vicious and mean, criminal act."

The Health Service Executive has said it is to set up a review group to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of a baby who was born two weeks ago at Cavan General Hospital.
It is understood the baby boy was delivered by C-section Thursday, November 28, however, the procedure suffered delays as another C-section had already been carried out in the main theatre, and so a second theatre had to be surgically prepared.
When the baby was born, he was critically ill and was later transferred to the National Neonatal Unit at Holles Street in Dublin for treatment, where he died a short time later.

Orla Ní Eilí, of the Clare Immigrant Support Centre in Ennis, has warned that some people in the county may experience further isolation if Wednesday's budget adversely impacts upon the income of low earners or the unemployed.
"The worrying part is that people will become even more isolated, no matter what their background is; Irish or new Irish," Ms. Ní Eilí said.
"People could become very isolated in their homes. They might have no work, even though they are looking for work or seeking courses. They may be staying in just because they don't have the resources to be walking around town and spending a couple of bob here or there. It's a very worrying time for a lot of people," she added.

A helicopter owned by Ashland-based Brim Aviation that crashed Nov. 27 near Childress, Texas, killing one man, had only 20 ounces of fuel on board, an investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board said.
The Hughes 369D rotorcraft's operating manual requires the helicopter to maintain a minimum of about two gallons of fuel, said Mitchell Gallo, the NTSB air safety investigator who is leading the investigation.
Gallo said the helicopter's auxiliary fuel tank was empty.
"One of the things we know is that the amount of fuel onboard was below that which was usable," Gallo said.
Gallo said the cause of the crash has yet to be determined, but "there was a loss of engine power."
Gallo said it could take up to a year before the investigation is complete.
According to the Amarillo Globe-News, Jonathan David Suhr, 23, who was living in McLean, Texas, was suspended about 50 feet below the helicopter hanging a roller conductor lifter on a power line when the helicopter crashed.
Suhr, who is originally from Hayden, Idaho, an online obituary and Facebook indicated, died at Childress Regional Medical Center as a result of the crash, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The helicopter, which was hovering about 150 feet off the ground, was piloted by Keith Hard, 42, of Butte County, Calif., the Globe-News reported. Hard was taken to Childress Regional Medical Center for back injuries.
Since the incident, numerous telephone messages left at Brim Aviation's Ashland office have not been returned.
Brim employees who were reached declined to comment on the crash.

Manga cafes might be wretched hives of scum and villainy, but they are also a place where people unwind, read comics, play video games, and pass out after missing the last train. Maybe that's what happened to 23 year-old Navy serviceman Oscar Hayes Weigle, and his buddy. If so, that's easy to explain. What actually transpired, however, is not.
According to Asahi News, Weigle and another service member went to a manga cafe at midnight last night, which was well past their curfew.
As of October, due to a horrible incident in Okinawa, all U.S. service members station in Japan are subject to a curfew.
Authorities say that Weigle was intoxicated, and took off his clothes in the booth he had rented at the comic cafe. Then, at around 3am, he apparently began walking around the manga cafe in the buff and even allegedly urinated in the cafe, causing the manga cafe staff to call the cops.
"I did urinate in the cafe," Weigle is quoted as telling authorities later, "but I didn't get completely nude." When police arrived on the scene, Asashi reports that the officer discovered Weigle out of uniform and completely nude.
Weigle is stationed on the USS George Washington aircraft carrier, which entered port on November 20.

AG112: Showdown at Linoone
this wiki
Showdown at Linoone (マッスグマ!友情のカタチ!? Linoone! The Shape of Friendship!?) is the 20th episode of Pokémon: Advanced Battle.
Episode Plot
The gang is seen on a ship to Pacifidlog Town. Ash has all the Hoenn badges and needs to train well for it. May reminds him she also has four ribbons, so she needs to go get the final ribbon. Ash reports to Prof. Oak via the computer in a Pokémon Center, who is surprised and delighted about Ash's eight badges. Ash promises to work hard before the Hoenn League. Ash goes away to train, as he tells to Brock he has *only* three months. May decides to follow in his footsteps to train for the Contest, so she begins by cleaning up the Poké Balls. A Pokémon watches her from the bush.
May has cleaned the Poké Balls up and goes to put them in her bag, but sees Beautifly and Bulbasaur are missing. Brock and Max suspect Team Rocket is behind this - and Team Rocket react by looking at an upset May. Team Rocket is somewhat angered, but sad when they did not catch anything yet. Brock spots some footprints, so they go to find the thief. Ash found a good spot to train, but notices something approaching. It sends him and Pikachu flying away - it is a very fast Linoone.
May stomps on Ash, as she did not see him. Ash tells them a Linoone ran over with big cheeks, so May knows Linoone must be the thief. Brock remembers that Linoone usually run straight over, so they go. They reach a house where Linoone's steps end. Inside, a boy throws an old Poke Ball. The gang asks him if he saw a Linoone near, so the boy starts apologizing, as Token, his Linoone, stole (again) the Poke Balls. The boy's parents come, greeting the gang. The family introduces themselves - Kimmy, Harmony and Calvin. The gang introduces themselves as well. Kimmy takes them to a place - a place with many round objects Linoone has gathered.
Kimmy tells them he threw Token (when it was a Zigzagoon) the Poké Ball to catch it. However, when it evolved into Linoone, it started to take round objects, even from other people. Ash remembers his Charizard - he told him that he was meaning well just as he did. Charizard showed more respect to Ash after that event. May searched in the stash and did not found her Poké Balls. Kimmy tells her sometimes Token places stuff in the mountains. However, they are very frustrated to hear that Token could have hidden the Poké Balls anywhere in the trees. The search starts - everyone does not find anything, but Harmony found her ring, so they are very happy. Pikachu found something - May is terrified to have a bone in her hands. Max tells Ash that if Marowak or Cubone have the item, they are more powerful. Also, they find a Sooth Bell - the Pokémon will have more attack. Also, a Dragon Fang is seen - good for a Dragon type Pokémon.
Brock tells May that they'll find her Pokémon and says that Linoone has the Pickup ability - an ability to get more rare stuff. Team Rocket is thrilled to hear this and think that Linoone will get presents to the boss. The gang searches more and Kimmy spots Token on a cliff and tells it to get the Balls back. Token refuses to and is captured by Team Rocket. Kimmy goes to get Token, so Jessie sends Seviper who uses Haze. Kimmy does not see a rock and falls, so Token drops May's Poké Balls. Kimmy is injured and May takes the Poké Balls back. Pikachu goes to help Token, so James sends Cacnea. Pikachu cuts the net using Iron Tail. Seviper uses Poison Tail, but Pikachu dodges and hops to its head. Linoone is seen to be with Kimmy, who is okay. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, blasting them off. However, the smoke clears and Team Rocket are not blasted off.
They capture Pikachu using the net, so Ash goes after him, but they are too far away. Kimmy apologizes to Ash for going to save Token and Pikachu got captured. Ash tells him not to worry. Linoone spots Team Rocket's balloon shaped like a Poké Ball. Kimmy recalls that he did throw the Poké Ball for Token to fetch to play, so Brock concludes it wants round objects to play with. Kimmy tells Linoone to go after the balloon, so it jumps, landing on the balloon itself. Meowth tells Jessie and James it could pop the balloon, so Cancea uses Needle Arm on Linoone. Of course, Linoone evaded and Cacnea popped the balloon. Before they go to the ground, Linoone cut the net and Pikachu and it came to the ground. Kimmy promises to play with Linoone again.
Team Rocket is not yet satisfied, so Seviper goes to attack with Poison Tail. Cacnea uses Needle Arm, so Token uses Water Pulse, knocking Seviper and Cacnea out. Seviper and Cacnea clash (due to their confusion), so they begin to attack Jessie, James and Meowth - Cacnea uses Pin Missile and Seviper Haze. Pikachu and Linoone use Thunderbolt, blasting them off. Kimmy promises to play with Linoone more, so it may not steal from other people. Kimmy throws his old Poké Ball, so Linoone gets it.
- Featured Pokémon: Mareep, Flaaffy, Ampharos
- The dub title is a play on words of the old west phrase "Showdown at High Noon."
- Token likes to collect round things, just like Quagsire in Once in a Blue Moon.
- This is the first time in the anime that Team Rocket's get away balloon was a Poké ball instead of the traditional Meowth faced balloon.
- This is the second time in the anime that Pikachu's Thunderbolt has formed a dragon shape, the first being Abra and the Psychic Showdown when Kadabra's Confusion turned it back on Pikachu.
- When Pikachu was dodging Seviper's Poison Tail, Pikachu was using the dodging skills he learned in Flower Power.
- Flaaffy was spelled Flaafy during the Pokémon Trainer's Choice. This happened in a previous episode's Trainer's Choice.
- Token was able to say its name with its mouth closed.
- When May was polishing her Poké Balls, it showed three on the table next to her, four in a close up shot, and then three again in exactly the same position after she picked up one of the Poké Balls.

Secondary Sources: Taxing Gasoline, The Risks Of High U.S. Debt, Financial Regulators
A few good economics reads from around the Web.
-Taxing Gasoline: Valerie Karplus makes the case for a higher tax on gasoline. "If our goal is to get Americans to drive less and use more fuel-efficient vehicles, and to reduce air pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases, gas prices need to be even higher. The current federal gasoline tax, 18.4 cents a gallon, has been essentially stable since 1993; in inflation-adjusted terms, it's fallen by 40 percent since then," the M.I.T. scientist writes. "It certainly wouldn't make lives easier for struggling families. But the gasoline tax is a tool of energy and transportation policy, not social policy, like the minimum wage … the Obama administration chose a familiar and politically easier path: raising fuel-efficiency standards for cars and light trucks … Greater efficiency packs less of a psychological punch because consumers pay more only when they buy a new car … new standards will cost the economy on the whole — for the same reduction in gas use — at least six times more than a federal gas tax of roughly 45 cents per dollar of gasoline. That is because a gas tax provides immediate, direct incentives for drivers to reduce gasoline use, while the efficiency standards must squeeze the reduction out of new vehicles only. The new standards also encourage more driving, not less … A higher gas tax would help fix crumbling highways while also generating money that could help offset the impact on low- and middle-income families."
-The Risks Of High US Debt: Michael Derby reports that several economists—David Greenlaw ofMorgan Stanley, James Hamilton of the University of California, San Diego, Peter Hooper ofDeutsche Bank, and former Fed governor Frederic Mishkin, now of Columbia University—are warning in a new paper that the U.S. may face an economic and financial catastrophe if it doesn't get government spending under control. "The researchers argue the government may soon reach a point where its borrowing levels will set in motion a vicious and destructive surge in financing costs that will get worse the more that gets borrowed. Collateral damage to this dynamic will be the Federal Reserve's ability to provide support to the economy," Derby writes. The economists base "their cautionary tale on a study of 20 countries over the past 12 years. They found 'a significant relation between debt loads and borrowing costs, with a one-percentage-point increase in debt as a percent of gross domestic product being associated with a 4.5-basis-point increase in the yield on 10-year government bonds in a linear specification' … They also find that borrowing costs can start to spiral out of control. 'Countries with debt above 80% of GDP and persistent current-account deficits are vulnerable to a rapid fiscal deterioration,' they write. The authors warn the Fed faces future trouble based in large part on the very possible surge in market based rates tied to a loss of confidence in the fiscal outlook. They reckon that by 2017 and 2018, the Fed will be losing 'sizable' amounts of money. 'The combination of a massively expanded central bank balance sheet and an unsustainable public debt trajectory is a mix that has the potential to substantially reduce the flexibility of monetary policy' to help the economy, the paper says."
-Financial Regulators: Howard Davies questions the idea that the U.S.'s system of financial regulation needs a structural overhaul. "The American system looks remarkably similar to the one that turned a collective blind eye to the rise of fatal tensions in the early 2000's. One factor that contributed to institutional stasis was the absence of a persuasive alternative. In the decade or so leading up to the meltdown of 2007-2008, the global trend was toward regulatory integration. Almost 40 countries had introduced single regulators, merging all types of oversight into a single all-powerful entity. The movement began in Scandinavia in the early 1990's, but the most dramatic change came in 1997, when the United Kingdom introduced its Financial Services Authority (I was its first chairman). Other countries adopted slightly different models. A fashionable approach was known as "twin peaks," whereby one regulator handled prudential regulation – setting capital requirements – while another oversaw adherence to business rules … These integrated structures seemed to offer many advantages. There were economies of scale and scope, and financial firms typically like the idea of a one-stop (or, at worst, a two-stop) shop. A single regulator might also be expected to develop a more coherent view of trends in the financial sector as a whole. Unfortunately, these benefits did not materialize, or at least not everywhere. It is hard to argue that the British system performed any more effectively than the American, so the single-regulator movement has suffered reputational damage … The truth is that it is hard to identify any correlation between regulatory structure and success in heading off or responding to the financial crisis. Among the single-regulator countries, Singapore and the Scandinavians were successful in dodging most of the fatal bullets, while the UK evidently was not … Does it matter whether the central bank is directly involved? Many central bankers maintain that the central bank is uniquely placed to deal with systemic risks, and that it is essential to carry out monetary and financial policies in the same institution. Again, it is hard to find strong empirical support for that argument … There is no consensus on the role of the central bank: in around a third of countries, it is the dominant player, in another third it has responsibilities for banks only, while in the remaining third it is a system overseer only. We could see this as a controlled experiment to try to identify a preferred model. After all, financial systems are not so different from one another, particularly in OECD countries. But there is no sign of a considered assessment being prepared, which might at least help countries to make better-informed choices, even if it did not conclude that one model was unambiguously best."

Hi all,
I bought the version 3.4.6 on Windows 7 yesterday.
I saved 2 drawings. Today, it is impossible to open them : an error message says that I should check my access rights or file format or file extension.
Here are the files. I have no idea if this comes from QCAD or from Windows parameters as I never had any problems with other files before.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Sly Nice Slides These slides are pretty good quality. The cushion makes them very comfortable. However, they do run a little small so make sure you get a size or two larger than your typical shoe size. July 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Raven Very comfortable I ordered this shoe as a summer slide for when I'm making quick runs and do not want to put on sneakers; these ended up being the only shoe I wear at the moment. Very comfortable and very stylish, and the color will go with anything. Great purchase ! June 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by dookie bad terrible. i got these and the first time i wore them my feet got rashes May 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by MeMellie Fell in love The first time my son wore these he told me he loved them, that they were soft and felt good on his feet. They are easy to get on and off, he is a gymnastic and has to wear something between events. December 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Viv Amazing! I had an ACL reconstruction about 6 months ago and walking or just standing would start causing pain in my leg and then I am a little flat footed so my feet would start aching too. I recently went to Six Flags and I switched my shoes to wear my slides because I was starting to feel some discomfort within the first 30 minutes and as soon as I slipped these on I felt so much better. I lasted the whole trip there without any complaints and my leg was not in a lot of pain when I got home. I love these so much! They are so comfortable and its a plus that it helps making walking easier. :) July 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Soccer Ma Great Shoes So far so good with these slides. My youngest son is really hard on shoes and so far they are holding up. Great promotion at Dicks-got half off 2nd pair :) June 28, 2013

Rated 4 out of 5�by Sporty70 Good slides My son really likes these slides. He is 13 and these are really popular. However, he does have trouble walking in them and keeping them on his feet. Maybe they're still too new but they are very stiff. June 18, 2013

Ivory plays an important role in the history of precious arts in the Middle Ages. Heir to the ivory work of the ancient world, this art developed in the Eastern Christian world in particular. As the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire from the 4th century until 1453, Byzantium constituted an autonomous and original artistic world. This plaque of the Virgin and Child enthroned belongs to the movement known as the "Macedonian Renaissance" (9th - 11th centuries).
The Virgin, seated on a monumental throne placed under a canopy is holding the child Jesus on her lap. Two medallions containing busts of the apostles John and Paul, or perhaps the prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel, are placed on either side of her face.
This sculpted plaque probably decorated the front of the binding of a manuscript. It offers an illustration of a major current in 10th century Byzantine art, which reinterpreted designs from antiquity in its own style and had ties with the Nicephorus group of works (named after the Byzantine emperor Nicephorus, 963 to 969) as is indicated here by the simplified drapery, monumental appearance of the Virgin and the softness of the faces.

Growing up, I mustered little enthusiasm for an uncle's long Thanksgiving Day prayer. Once, he deferred to a nephew, who tersely uttered: "God is great. God is good. Let us thank him for this food. Amen."
This youngster caught gratitude's genius and heart. We refuse to hype our achievements, lest we sound bombastic like Rush Limbaugh, who boasts that his talents are "on loan from God." We stretch beyond self's circumference. We thank the one who has given the gift of life. That simple prayer about God, food and who's great in the universe echoes Hebrew psalms: "Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise! Give thanks for God. Bless His name!" (Psalm 100:4).
The last presidential election raised a referendum on what authentic gratitude looks like. Do thankful hearts share beyond self-interest to help the helpless? Or is gratitude lost in self-adulation?
God favors the former; atheist Ayn Rand, the latter. She rejected the credo etched in stone at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington. Roosevelt, in his 1937 Inaugural Address, said, "The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide for those who have little."
Rand despised Roosevelt. Her novel "Atlas Shrugged" runs 1,100 pages, during which Rand denies government's role in spreading charity as an act of communal gratitude of the rich for the poor. Her book reads like a futurist fable. It depicts government as a sinister power. It grooms bureaucrats to devise schemes that rob risk-taking innovators. In this novel, the economy plummets. Then, Uncle Sam takes over personal liberties in the name of the public good.
Rand clashed with Roosevelt over how to express gratitude. According to her, charity stays at home, where individuals not coerced by government parcel out aid.
Roosevelt, in contrast, believed effective government cared for more of the needy than shelters and church-sponsored food kitchens.
A few weeks ago, the American electorate voted on these divergent ways of showing gratitude. The majority resonated with voters who rejected Rand's rant on government.
When gratitude shrivels into a clever defense for self-serving, Shakespeare supplies a corrective. He dramatizes mistakes, bad habits, destructive idiosyncrasies and sins. What ranked as the worst? The Bard has a character that declared, "I hate ingratitude in a man / (More) than lying, vainness, babbling drunkenness, / Or any taint of vice when strong corruption / Inhabits our frail blood" ("Twelfth Night," Act III, Scene IV).
Donald Trump typifies how gratitude is distorted into self-serving ways to make a buck. On his show "The Apprentice," the Donald sells Rand's brand of success.
He lists seven rules for business. Rule No. 5 cuts the nerve of gratitude. "I love pitting people against each other," Trump says. "My whole life is based on that. It brings out the best and the worst in people. If the worst comes out, you don't want them working for you."
Trump spends his life training star employees to compete like snarling pit bulls. Where's the semblance of grace or gratitude in this picture of how we are to act? God is good, but need we be good in quarrelsome competition?
What does life look like with gratitude drained from it? Don't competitors feast on proving self-worth by defacing opponents' reputations? Filching their reputations? Turning on those who already have what you want but aren't eager to share it with you?
That's the upshot? Only those clever and self-seeking enough will graduate from apprentices to masters in a thankless world.
"I'm Paul Ryan, and I approve this message" said the vice presidential candidate who applauded and then retreated from his infatuation with Rand. He instructed staff to read her novels. Rand's "the reason I got involved in public service, by and large," he testified. "If I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand. My philosophy in essence is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life."
So how does this worldview regard Thanksgiving? Gratitude has less to do with serving others and more to do with heroic resolve to make, rather than take. Rand's toxins infect Ryan's fiscal plan: cut taxes on the rich so they are grateful for more stuff, slash aid to the poor so their ingratitude will force them to start working and limit government because its welfare increases generations of moochers.
Show gratitude by remembering those who mentored us to reject Rand's selfish ethic. Samuel Johnson tipped a toast to friends who "guard, excite and elevate one's virtues." Gratitude's excellent way is practiced when we share, sacrifice and show compassion.
God is great. God is good. Let us thank Him on this Thanksgiving Day by refuting Ayn Rand's assault on gratitude.

County's baseball and softball All Stars advance
Published: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 11:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 20, 2013 at 11:04 p.m.
Henderson County's Baseball and Softball All-Stars are all having strong postseason runs, and the streaks continued Thursday night as they all posted victories.
In Franklin, the Henderson County 9-year-old baseball team downed homestanding Franklin 14-5 to advance to Tuesday night's District 5 championship game. The HC team is the only unbeaten team in the 9-year-old tournament.
The county's 8-year-old team, which was off Thursday, will be playing at 7 p.m. Monday night at Jackson Park's Field 2 in the district semifinals. The 7-year-olds will be taking the field at 7 p.m. tonight on Field 1 at Jackson Park for the district finals. The county's 6-year-olds will be in the district finals Monday at South Asheville.
In the softball district tournament Thursday night in Fairview, the county's 8-and-under team defeated South Buncombe 8-4, and the 6-and-under team routed Madison 22-12. Both teams will play again tonight in the next round of the district tournament in Fairview.

- 2013: Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's ban on telecommuting sparks a firestorm
- Feb 25:
- Web Vote: Is Yahoo telecommuting ban a good decision?
SUNNYVALE -- Appearing to acknowledge the uproar over its recent move to order telecommuting workers back to the office, Yahoo (YHOO) issued a brief statement Tuesday to assert that it wasn't offering a broad judgment on the practice of working from home.
"This isn't a broad industry view on working from home -- this is about what is right for Yahoo right now," said the statement from a Yahoo spokesperson.
"We don't discuss internal matters," the statement added, and the spokesperson didn't respond to further questions.
Yahoo's move has sparked a firestorm of debate -- on the Internet, on radio talk shows and in workplaces around the country. Critics blasted CEO Marissa Mayer, a new mother herself, for seeming to abandon what many view as a progressive approach to helping working parents and other employees juggle conflicting demands. But supporters said Mayer may be justified in trying to shake things up at the Internet company, which has gained a reputation for sluggishness while falling behind its chief competitors.
Mayer herself has not commented on the new policy, which was announced in a memo Friday that quickly leaked to an industry blog. The memo was authored by Yahoo human resources chief Jackie Reses, who said the company would benefit from insights and quick decisions that can arise from impromptu discussions in the workplace.
"We need to be working side-by-side," Reses wrote, before stating that all Yahoo employees who have been working from home would be asked to report to company offices starting in June. She added, "Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home."
Working from home is a common practice in many industries and in Silicon Valley, where tech companies often tout the benefits of videoconferencing and Web-based software that lets workers collaborate from remote locations. But some experts say companies also benefit when creative professionals, including software engineers, can share ideas in person.

What is the reasoning behind wearing two pairs of socks when playing basketball? I have been considering it because i see of lot of players wearing two pairs of socks but i don't know what for. So, what is the point of wearing two pairs of socks when playing basketball and should i wear two pairs of socks while playing basketball?
"Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better, and your better is best." ~Tim Duncan
* "Dare to be great." *
"Hard work, a positive attitude, confidence, and a smile are the keys to success."
Basketball is life....#14
I think that wearing two pairs of socks is more for show than anything. I don't know if it is anymore comfortable than wearing a pair of plain athletic socks, but I prefer to wear one pair. But if you think that it is more comfortabble than what you normally wear, than you should go for it, since comfort matters more than style.
I agree with the previous comment. In most cases, wearing two pairs of socks is simply for style. If someone is wearing 2 pairs for any reason other than that, it is probably for ankle support, to reduce blisters, or for additional comfort, like an insole.
Hope this helps.
Oh, and check out Thorlo's basketball socks. I've worn them all season and have found them phenomenal!
Who was always wearing 5 pairs when playing in NBA? Is there anybody know?
Could be superstitious. Could be style. Could be to avoid blisters. Could be if shoes are little big.
The reason for wearing two pairs of socks is acually ankle support. I wear two pairs also.
I wore two pairs of socks in my season the only reason I did was because my shoes were too big
Karrim Omer
k dizzy
I really do not see what two pairs would do. I guess maybe better support but mainly just superstition.
i wore 2 pairs of socks this past season and since then and i personally like it better than just one. i wore 2 pairs of nike socks (as seen in the attatched photo) originally i did it for looks thinking it would look cool. but i found out that it also helped with blisters cause i would always get tons of blisters on the bottoms of my feet. wearing two pairs of socks gives you more padding therefor you will get less blisters. but you have to make sure that the socks are pulled tight otherwise they rub and dont help at all. also my shoes were a little big, ordering them off-line so i couldnt try them on. and they helped with that aswell
Summer Huddle is correct, it is for ankle support.
As much as I like the ipad, I��m happy I am waiting for the second gen. I need at least 512 mbytes of ram, I want 1 gig. And I need the camera on the front, don��t really care about the back but it��s on the other two so why not the big cahoona.
I highly doubt that a flimsy sock could support the force put on your ankles on the court but I'm no expert.
The correct answer is for cushioning....or to make shoes that are slightly big more confortable.
1. Your feet dont move around in the shoe if its too big.
2. Ankle support.
3. Looks good!
I wear 2 pairs of socks for that i dont get blissters on my feet, and somewhat because it looks cool. i just think its is more comforable that way, it just doesnt hurt my feet as much. this is my own opinion tho.

PIs are also responsible for monitoring their project's Resource Unit balance and for submitting a proposal to the Allocations Committee of the Statewide Users Group before the balance goes negative. Projects with negative balances are subject to restrictions, causing submitted jobs to have lower priority in the queue.
Allocation managment for Ohio-based academic projects
Eligible Principal Investigators must be tenure-track faculty members or permanent research scientists at Ohio colleges or universities. All other researchers, such as postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and undergraduate students, may be authorized users under a project led by an eligible PI.

- document with other pertinent information (optional)
Send a query to firstname.lastname@example.com or to firstname.lastname@example.com if you require more detailed information concerning the application process.
Once a proposal has been vetted for sending out for review, any restrictions that have been incurred owing to a negative balance will be lifted. The Allocations Committee meets early in each odd-numbered month, and awards are made after the meeting.

The study estimates that 1.8 million Americans have celiac disease. Another 1.6 million are on gluten-free diets, the recommended treatment for celiac disease. Yet there's almost no overlap between the two groups.
"So here' we've got this kind of irony where those who need to be on [a gluten-free diet] aren't on it, because they don't know they have it. And those who are on it probably don't need to be on it, at least from a medical point of view," says researcher Joseph A. Murray, MD, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. "It's a little frustrating."
The study is based on data collected through the government's NHANES survey, which takes regular snapshots of the health of the U.S. population.
Celiac disease is a disorder that's triggered by eating gluten, a protein found in grains like wheat, barley, and rye.
Some people with celiac disease have no symptoms. Others experience non-specific complaints like chronic fatigue, depression, brain fog, abdominal pain, weight loss, anemia, diarrhea, and other stomach problems.
Celiac Disease 'Dramatically Undiagnosed'
Along with using the survey data, the researchers also used blood tests to screen nearly 8,000 people, ages 6 and up, for antibodies against the gluten protein. Those who showed gluten antibodies were given another test to look for proteins that indicate the body is attacking itself. A total of 35 people were considered to have celiac disease.
Based on those results, researchers estimate that as many as 1.8 million Americans may have celiac disease, though roughly 80% are undiagnosed.
The study is published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
"This is very much in keeping with what we had known about celiac disease in the U.S. before. There's a lot of it out there, around 1%, and it's dramatically undiagnosed," says Daniel A. Leffler, MD.
Leffler, the director of clinical research at the celiac center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, says the condition often slips by primary care doctors because the symptoms vary so much from person to person, and it's not always something doctors think to look for.
"It still suffers from the stigma of being a rare childhood disease," says Leffler, who was not involved in the research.
