Breaking Through the Glass Ceiling
This guest post is by Karen Driscoll, who is a Marine wife, mother of three (one with autism) and ACT Today! For Military Families Campaign Director.
The expression "Warrior Mom" is often used throughout the autism community. It is a badge of honor describing the battles mothers have engaged in to help their children experience the opportunities in life every child deserves. As Warrior Moms, we put our dukes up to fight for care and treatment; we work diligently to educate and build awareness within our communities, and we mentor and support others along the journey. We are fierce. We are wise. We are compassionate. We are Mothers.
"Warrior Mom" takes on a whole new meaning when put in the context of the military family impacted by autism. The military family wages a battle on two fronts: one for our country and another for our children. As a Marine wife and a mother of a young child with autism, this is very personal. I understand all too well the challenges autism brings to the military family and I have become a vocal advocate for our children with special needs.
I work alongside several other military spouses (across all branches of service) who have children with autism, to raise awareness of the challenges that military families with special needs face. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for military families with disabilities and special healthcare needs by advocating for the medical necessity of evidence-based treatments and other much-needed family supports and assistance. Working toward comprehensive policy and legislative reform is never an easy task, especially when putting things in context of the Department of Defense or the Senate/House Armed Services Committee.
The statistics are staggering. One in 88 military children has a diagnosis on the autism spectrum, and less than 10 percent of these special children are receiving recommended care and treatments. This is why First Lady Michelle Obama met with Marine Corps families at Camp Pendleton recently to discuss policy reform and to work toward improving services and supports for military children. I was fortunate to be part of this important meeting with the First Lady and witness what another Marine wife described as "the opportunity for parents of children with autism to break through the glass ceiling" and reach key individuals who are in a position to resolve many of the issues our families face.
Mrs. Obama listened as parents highlighted the challenges military families with special needs experience to access appropriate care and treatment services through TRICARE, the health insurance system for members of the U.S. military. Families impacted by autism discussed the tremendous emotional and financial strains caused by the limited services under existing TRICARE programs and emphasized the importance of improving TRICARE coverage of autism care.
"My goal is to help the rest of our country better understand and appreciate the incredible service of you and your families, and to make sure your voices are heard back in Washington and that your needs are met," said Mrs. Obama. "I am launching a national challenge to Americans to find ways to rally support of the military family. One percent of America may be fighting our wars, but 100% of America needs to be supporting parents in that fight."
I am humbled by the First Lady's commitment to the military child. Military families shoulder significant responsibilities today and make tremendous sacrifices few can fully appreciate. Military families impacted by autism have additional stresses as they cope with extraordinary circumstances and limited treatments our precious children urgently need and deserve. Autism is treatable, and with treatment our children can make significant gains, but funding for these vital services is limited and often elusive for the military family. I echo the First Lady's challenge to America to please support military families who have sacrificed so much and I ask for your particular attention to the unique needs of military children with autism.
In the words of First Lady Michelle Obama, "We're working to be an America where more people not only understand the service and sacrifice that [military] families make, but where more Americans take action to help lighten your load." Military families deserve the quality of care equal to their heroic service and sacrifice in defense of our nation, our people, and our freedom.
Semper Fidelis.

I think actually getting someone to do something for military families is going to be the hardest. We have two boys on the Autism scale with Aspergers. Here at Ft. Knox it takes 6 months or longer to get your FIRST appointment with a developmental pediatric doctor, and soon after that first visit we were already on orders to a new post. Because I could not put my kids thru having to start over again after just getting their IEP's and other needs sort of "settled" at their schools, me and my husband chose to be geographically seperated as he PCS'd to another post. Moving two autistic kids after 355 days in one place is not good for them at all, as they are often just even getting set in routines of the place they are at. Moving them would have meant them not getting needed services again for months, as you often start at ground zero with doctors, schools and therapists. We need to make sure that the "family stability" that the military is talking about for our families needs to be especially enforced for those of us who have kids on the Autism scale.

I think Michelle Obama is a shadow in a room full of real warrior moms. I have a son with ASD and we have worked and sacrafied with no help from the government in anyway because we meet no minimum federal guideline for income. No legislation has helped my son. My wonderful husband who gets up everyday and works hard to provide us with the cold hard cash needed for therapy and activities and our tireless efforts have brought our son to the brink of recovery. I would not cross the street to see that woman or for that matter any government offical that is not in uniform.

I am wondering with the statistics much higher (1 in 88 as compared to the 1 in 150) among military families, if it is not something that these military men and women are exposed to that is making the rates higher. I have a son on the spectrum as well and his father was a Marine (yes I can hear him screaming in my head right now that he still is a Marine, but he is no longer active duty). I wonder what the statistics are if you include those who are no longer in the active duty population, but have been at some point in the past. Would be very curious to see the numbers on that and if they are higher than normal populace then maybe some studies done to see what these men and women may have been exposed to, to prevent it from occurring more frequently in the future.

These Moms are an inspiration. Thank you to these incredible families for all their sacrifices on our behalf.

Williston, SC--Williston Elko is a team loaded with talent. Nobody doubts that. Maybe the most exciting player on that squad can score on offense, defense and special teams. Did i mention he pretty much did all that friday night?? His name is Dexter Staley and he's our Operation Football Live/Augusta Chronicle player of the week.
Staley's performance in the second round of the playoffs was one for the books. A rushing touchdown, two receiving touchdown and two fumble returns for a score. He would have also had this punt return for a sixth score had a penalty not negated it. Talk about the complete ballgame. Thing is, this has become the norm for Staley who can electrify a crowd every time he touches the pigskin.
"It felt real good to play all the positions on Friday night." said Dexter Staley "I had a lot of friends and I had my family down here to see me play, and they'd never seen me play. So I had to play my hardest for them and I played for my coach's and stuff."
"You know Dexter usually stands out pretty well because he makes big plays on both sides of the ball." said coach Dwayne Garrick "I think that was the case this past week because he scooped a couple of fumbles, caught a couple of touchdowns passes. He's just a great all around player for us and probably the greatest thing about him is that he's such a great competitor."
With Kendric Salley getting the bulk of the carries this year, Staley has been a wide receiver for the most part. But as we've seen in the past, if they need him in the backfield, no problem what so ever.

Remember that summer of 2007 when the Phillies gave the Mets absolute nightmares? That was a lot of fun. One of the highlights of the season came on August 30, 2007 at the end of a four-game series with the Mets. New York was stomping the Phillies but the good guys battled back and walked […]

Utah Governor Signs Renewable Energy Tax Credit Bill, Boosts Milford Wind Corridor Project
March 23, 2007
Utah Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. signed a bill on March 14 that creates tax credits for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. His approval paved the way for UPC Wind Partners' Milford Wind Corridor project, which will be one of Utah's largest wind farms. The tax credit was part of Senate Bill 223, a comprehensive tax bill that makes far-reaching tax changes in the state.
In a press release dated March 19, UPC Wind referred to the new law as one of two major milestones reached for the Milford Wind Corridor Project, to be located about 100 miles southwest of Salt Lake City. The other milestone was completion of a 20-year, 200 megawatt (MW) power purchase agreement with the Southern California Public Power Authority.
The project is expected to include 80 wind turbine generators and is slated for completion in December 2008. The company stated that the facility will contribute significant property tax revenues and royalty payments to landowners while diversifying the employment base within both Millard and Beaver Counties where the project will be located.
UPC Wind was formed by principals of UPC Group, a wind power company. UPC Wind focuses on the North American market, developing more than 3,000 MW of wind power projects through various subsidiary companies.
For more information, see the March 19 UPC Wind press release.

Property code puts city in charge of minimum standards
February 4, 2013
Marietta City Council's Planning, Zoning and Annexation committee is conducting a series of public meetings about the city's need to update its minimum housing codes, junk car rules and a variety of......
After decoding your secret message, I've come to the conclusion that City Council isn't likely to listen to someone who can't spell the word "drain".
I'll hedge a bet that the city is hoping to update their policies in an effort to make the West Side not look like a third world country.
Who of us can disagree with an attempt to make our city look nicer? If you can disagree with it... why?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The bigger question is why does the city of Marietta wait for a complaint form a neighbor to do something about negligent land owners? I have lived beside the "West Side Dump" (313 Franklin Street) for many years. To my recollection there has never been a time when a city official or department took action independantly without a complaint from another citizen. I long for the days when we had foot patrol officers who took responsiblity for a neighborhood.

As I put my ear to the crack in the door of the Ritz Theater, I just could not believe my ears. I had been listening to the ending solo in Slave to the Traffic Light every day for a week before the show, joking with myself that I would actually hear it in Florida. When they broke into the intro, I just could not believe how huge it sounded. With a song as old as that being played with fresh licks from a much more talented Phish (since the days they had had it in rotation), I knew we were in for something special when the show would start.
The fast Funky Bitch soundcheck was pretty funny sounded almost like someone was fast-forwarding a tape of the tune. I guess they just wanted to get it over with or something.
Sweat was pouring down my green face by the time they let us in (fifteen minutes later than they promised). We ran in up to the front of the stage, where I was no more than six or seven feet away from Trey's rack and prepared for the show.
The Chalk Dust opener smoked, and Trey laid down a pretty amazing solo, playing so in the pocket very tasty. I always love seeing Guelah because of the dance and the licks during Asse Festival such fast composition is a treat to see live, and this was a fun and bouncy version. Poor Heart had a solo that was sort of like the one in Tallahassee where Trey used space and less notes. As soon as Mike started the slapping for Brother, I lost it. All I could do was scream "Thank you!" at the top of my lungs. I thought this was the one real treat we were going to get, and I was satisfied. Little did I know what was to come a few songs later. Trey struggled through Oh Kee Pah Ceremony more than any other time I've seen or heard him play it. It was a little uncomfortable to watch this happen, but his licks in Suzie more than made up for it. By the end of the second Page solo in Suzie, the whole crowd was rocking back and forth in unison, which created a sort of physical theme for the rest of the show.
I have yet to experience a crowd with more raw dancing energy, including the NYE '92 show. By the time All Things ended (perfect version not a note missed), we could see this weird look on Mike and Trey's faces as they started the very slowest Bathtub Gin I have ever heard. They fucked with the tempo so much, and I kept looking at Mike as if to say "what the hell is going on here?" He chuckled at everyone's confusion as they broke into an interesting bluesy jam. During the jam Mike gave Trey a look like "What are we doing?" They both shrugged their shoulders, laughed, and kept the jam going. Trey began this guitar melody that was so familiar, but I could not pinpoint it. My buddy Pablo, a Stones fan from way back, screamed Sweet Virginia in my ear, but I wasn't sure if this was it or not. When that jam ended, they immediately segued into a straight-ahead reggae beat. I thought they were going to pull out another Lively Up Yourself or something, but when Trey stepped up and started singing, "Hey Makisupa Policeman," I must have pulled a vocal cord or two as I screamed in ecstasy. I only had one tape of this one from 87 at the time, and I never thought I would be fortunate enough to see this.
I knew this set was going to be extra long when they segued into My Mind's, after the soft vocal "Policeman" refrain. It was fun to see, and I thought it would probably close the set, but lo and behold, Dog Log! When I heard this I truly lost my mind and could not believe what I was witnessing. Thanks to the White Album I was able to sing along. Page saw me singing it and laughed. La Grange blew me away. The bridge lasted forever, and by this time the crowd transformed into a heaping mass of sweat, feeding off the energy these guys were churning out like the groove was a big musical generator or something. The solos were fabulous, and it's great to hear them pull it off a perfect example of how to make a cover song your own. After the set ended I felt like I had seen an entire show, although it was just about an hour long! We were all exhausted, and for about ten minutes my friends and I just dropped to the floor and hardly said a word, wondering how the band was going to top that set.
I was excited to see the 2001 theme open the second set. It's great to get the crowd right back into the energy level of the first set, which died down during set break as everyone tried their best to stay afloat in their own drool. I have never been a part of such an energetic crowd as the one I was amidst during Mikes Song. When Trey was on the trampoline, he ripped some really intricate solos that were probably the best I've heard, versus the usual long sustained notes he forces himself into so he can keep his balance. Every minute or so Mike would hop off his tramp and stick in some killer slaps, making the groove so thick that people had no choice but to dance, and dance hard. Among the close to a thousand people that were there, I doubt at this point if there was anyone not completely drenched in sweat. Then there was the metal jam.
Trey kicked in some huge distortion and this guy, Joe Rooney, from a local Tampa metal band called First Born (I asked him his name after the show), came on stage and started singing nonsensical, high-pitched lyrics (I later asked him what he was singing and he didn't even know). Trey was so funny. He began hammering this Eddie Van Halen-like solo, and then did a huge windmill, causing him to lose his pick in the shuffle. It was so hilarious. When they segued into Sparks, I felt like I was going to cry. It was by far the best version I've heard them play. The dynamics were up and down like a roller coaster, and it was wonderful to hear them play this song now that they are so much better than when they played it in 1990. I felt like I stepped into a time warp and wound up at Wetlands or The Front absolutely too much for me to take. Curtis Loew was cool. I'm not a big Skynyrd fan, but Trey's solo and Page's singing definitely make this one a must-see. Trey's blues licks had become so much heavier and pronounced in the past couple of years. It was a treat to hear this one. When they started both Rift and Coil, I was almost positive they were going to bag Weekapaug altogether, but at the end of Page's beautiful Coil solo, Mike immediately broke into the bass solo, and we were all electrified. There was no wet distortion or T-wah, just a thick tone and some amazing slapping just like in the old days. It was classic. It was also the best Trey solo in Weekapaug since 3/20/92, in my opinion. It went on for awhile and he kept coming back with some pretty sick ideas. They had the best time playing it. Fish's right hand was out of control. The ride cymbal was falling in and out of the beat like I've never seen before he was so on!
We knew Bike was the perfect song for this particular evening, and when we all screamed for it Trey immediately nodded and gladly sung it. I finally caught my favorite Barrett/Floyd tune funny as hell and a real treat. The intro to Antelope featured a signal that was about to be the random note, but we all started pointing downward, and Trey waited while he considered it, then busted the fall-down signal. About four or five of us up front got it, and despite the many broken bottles on the floor, we remarkably came up without a scratch. The Makisupa teases in Antelope were perfect, and a good reminder of how special this show really was. Then there was the solo in Antelope. The peaks did not stop coming back. Trey literally did not leave the top four frets for a few minutes, and it was like a huge jolt of electricity that was the only thing keeping the crowd from passing out (due to the intense amount of heat that seemed to linger through the whole show). To close the show I couldn't have prayed for a better Antelope just smokin! Hearing Sleeping Monkey was really nice. Mike made a face like he forgot it when Trey went up and suggested they play it. He didn't seem to have a problem with it though. The solo at the end was really well done, and despite the humorous nature of the song, their playing made it one of the most beautiful jams of the night. They were able to pull of the Amazing Grace without mics, although it did take a while for everyone to shut up.
When the lights went up, I just looked at my buddies, both new and old, and didn't know what to say. We all witnessed something so special. People have been waiting for a show like this for a long time, and these guys from Colorado assured me that it was the best of the year, with Gunnison being a close second.
It's incredible to be able to share this experience with all of you, as I keep asking myself why I was so privileged to be one of a very small crowd that got their lives changed in Ybor City (of all places!). Shows like this will never happen again in such an intimate setting, and I can only hope that bands who play at Ritz Theater-level capacity will one day be able to achieve the level of intensity that Phish achieved in that hot and sweaty Florida room.

Very comfortable hat. It is moisture wicking and keeps the sun off your face. This is a very comfortable hat while jogging, hiking, golfing, or whatever you do on a sunny day that might make you break a sweat.

Athletic hat which can be used for camping, playing sports, or just mowing the lawn. Highly recommended for activities where you want the shade, but prefer wicking and breathability of lightweight fabric. I received a gray model from my friend about 4 years ago. He played tennis in it for a season, just to give you an example of the "genre" of hat this is. It's been my go-to hat for most occasions. That material is very thin and breathable, but at the same time durable. I have snagged this hat… Full review

Works very well in the rain. I've used this hat for a couple of years now when hiking in wet weather. The hat repels water very well. The thing that I like most about it is that when the rain really starts to come down and you need to pull the hood of your rainjacket up the hat fits really well under the hood and doesn't feel like it's being pushed down on your head or blocking your field of vision. The hat works best in cool weather. Being that I shave my head and don't have the hair to absorb… Full review

I wore this hat for a solid week on a recent backpacking trip. It kept the sun off my face. It wicked sweat. When it rained, it nicely served to keep my rain hood off my face. It weighs next to nothing! The one con is the threads easily snag from normal wear and tear--much like the t-shirts made from the same material. After a week, it looked more "seasoned"… Full review

Lightweight, breathable, and offers good coverage. Before receiving this hat, I was using a cotton based visor that I typically paired with a bandana for neck coverage. What I didn't like about my old visor was it never dried fast enough due to the cotton fabric. Since getting this Trailspace hat, I no longer had that issue.

OAKLAND -- Josh Reddick became the first A's outfielder in 27 years to win a Gold Glove, capping a debut season in Oakland that was more than anyone anticipated.
Reddick was named the American League's best defensive right fielder in a vote by managers and coaches, beating out Kansas City's Jeff Francoeur and Cleveland's Shin-Soo Choo, the other finalists.
The A's made the announcement Tuesday night just before ESPN2's Gold Glove show hit the air. Reddick, excited to have won, paused his conference call with Bay Area reporters for a moment to watch when his name and picture flashed on the screen.
"It's a true honor to be in this category with everybody," Reddick said. "I'm just happy the A's gave me the opportunity and I could pull it off for them."
The A's hadn't had a Gold Glove winner at any position since third baseman Eric Chavez won in 2006.
Center fielder Dwayne Murphy was the last A's outfielder to be honored back in 1985.
Reddick, 25, was the key acquisition from Boston last offseason in the Andrew Bailey trade. He showed fantastic range and a knack for the highlight play — whether it was scaling the wall for a catch or charging in to make a diving play. He finished third in the majors with 15 outfield assists — only Francoeur, with 19, threw out more base runners.
A's outfield coach Tye Waller said he arrived at spring training not knowing what the team had in Reddick.
"I saw the arm strength, but the accuracy is what surprised me," Waller said. "His ability to come in, go side to side was impressive. I had some concern that as a young guy in the league, he wouldn't' get attention. But he played a Gold Glove-caliber right field."
Both cleared outright waivers Tuesday and elected free agency rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Sacramento.
Braden pitched one of the most memorable games in A's history on Mother's Day 2010, when he threw the major leagues' 19th perfect game in a victory over Tampa Bay.
But the left-hander has missed most of the past two seasons with shoulder problems that required two surgeries, and he's likely to miss the first half of next season.
Devine, a right-handed reliever, has missed three of the past four seasons while recovering from two "Tommy John" surgeries on his right elbow.
Braden was likely due a salary in the $3-4 million range as a second-year arbitration player, and given the A's have watched a new crop of effective young starters emerge, he saw the handwriting on the wall.
"If you don't go out and pitch, you can't expect anything," said Braden, 29. "I'm very thankful to have been given this opportunity to try to make the dream come true, as cliché as it sounds. There's no ill feelings."

EAGLE - If you weave as you drive down the interstate and find yourself in the embrace of the long arm of the law, then throw drugs and guns out the window with the police watching, you'll be charged with more than littering.
Young people, let this be a lesson to you.
Michael Aguayo, 22, was a guest in the Eagle County Crossbar Hotel, but this week came under the tender care of Federal Marshalls.
The tale goes like this.
It was Dec. 4, 2012, when Eagle County Sheriff's deputy saw a slow-moving vehicle weaving like a congressman dodging a sequester question. The car was headed west along Interstate 70, between Wolcott and Eagle.
When the deputy cranked up the lights and tried to pull the car over, the driver weaved completely off the right side of the highway.
The deputy, a professionally trained observer of the human condition, motored along behind the pokey vehicle as the driver rolled down the passenger side window - remember this was December - and threw stuff out.
The deputy took note of the projectiles and their location, and then walked up to the car to discuss with Aguayo matters including stewardship of the environment and how we shouldn't throw stuff into it.
After explaining to Aguayo that while he might consider himself a bird, he was actually more of a penguin or ostrich - flightless - because flight was not going to be among his options, especially since the handcuffs would make it difficult to flap his wings and soar to freedom.
After a quick look around the car, the deputy turned up two socks containing approximately 1,200 grams (3 pounds) of methamphetamine, as well as a loaded Ruger 9mm semi automatic handgun.
Aguayo was found to be under the influence of methamphetamine. He was driving from Kansas City to his home in Oxnard, Calif.
Aguayo was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine with intent to sell, a Class 2 felony; possession of a weapon by a previously convicted felon, a Class 6 felony); driving under the influence of drugs; and weaving.
Law enforcement officers are a cooperative lot, and while Aguayo was a guest in the Eagle County Crossbar Hotel, the Eagle County Sheriff's office contacted the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
The ATF's attention was piqued immediately, because of the large quantity of drugs and the weapon, plus Aguayo's previous felony conviction for drugs.
A U.S. Attorney presented the case to a Federal Grand Jury and Aguayo was indicted on federal drug and firearm violations. Last week, Aguayo, who was headed west, was hauled back to Denver by the U.S. Marshal Service for federal prosecution in Denver U.S. District Court.

Federal Do Not Call list available
January 6, 2013
PARKERSBURG — Everyone dreads those repeated unwanted telemarketing calls....
We have all the rules and regulations against telemarketing harassment but the problem lies in the implementation. These nuisance never seem to respect and repeatedly violate the law. If you check on the complaints posted at Callercenter everyday, it's alarmingly increasing.
I wonder what needs to be done to EFFECTIVELY stop all these nuisance?

I don't object to our pharmacy's recorded message that our meds are available, nor do I mind a medical office calling to remind us of an appointment.
I do object to all others, however.

It doesn't do enough. It needs to include all political calls and all recorded messages no matter who they originate from.

The search for meaning often leads people to libraries, bookstores, houses of worship, schools and meditation rooms. Now there's a new venue in the quest for enlightenment: movie theaters.
The metaphysical movie What the Bleep Do We Know!?, the first of its kind to make it to the big screen, passed the $10 million ticket-sales mark in the U.S. and had consistent showings for more than a year, followed by theatrical distribution in more than 35 countries. The DVD immediately shot to the top of Amazon's best selling list, was named Amazon's #1 DVD surprise of the year and has sold over a million copies. The film's success ignited a conscious film movement: Bestselling-books-turned-screenplays The Celestine Prophecy, Peaceful Warrior, Conversations with God, The Alchemist and others have followed.
What the Bleep Does Hollywood Know?
This is a movie everyone in Hollywood thought would fail. With its scientific talking heads, theories of quantum physics and low-drama storyline, What the Bleep does not have the usual makings of a blockbuster. It's no surprise Hollywood didn't see stars around it — yet Arntz says his intention was always to have 100 million people around the planet see it.
"I started feeling that a huge chunk of the population was looking for entertainment beyond the crap that's been spewed out for the last 20 years or so," Arntz says.
"You know, we've seen all the stories, basically. We've seen all the dramas. We've seen Tom Cruise always win at the end of the movie. Nothing personal, Tom, but that's just what always happens. So, you know, we're kind of bored by it."
"Hollywood assumes people are stupid," asserts Arntz. But he and fellow filmmakers Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente made the opposite assumption when they took a risk on What the Bleep. "We just want people to think for themselves," he says. "It's a lost art in this culture."
If so, What the Bleep has certainly revived it. In Q-and-A sessions in theaters across the country, Arntz says people ask him to further explain concepts from the movie, and they want to know what impact the movie has made on the culture.
He also hears from a fair share of naysayers. But that's OK, he says, because at least it's starting a dialogue about deeper issues.
"A lot of people who are more in the mainstream have said, 'Well, these ideas, I've never really been exposed to them before, but they're really interesting and intriguing,'" Arntz says.
Will Other Meaningful Films Make It to the Box Office?
Moviegoers aren't the only ones intrigued by What the Bleep — so are Hollywood execs. To them, a new market of people searching for inspirational films based on science and spirituality has been tapped, and Arntz says everyone is wondering how to get a piece of the action.
John Hagelin, a world-renowned quantum physicist interviewed in What the Bleep, met with MGM executives recently. "They told him, 'Look, we don't know why this movie is popular,'" Arntz says. "'We don't know where it came from. Not only that, we don't even get what people are getting out of it. But we are really, really interested in this, because apparently it's this huge segment that we didn't even know existed.'"
It was a similar story at Paramount. An overtly mystical, stretch-your-mind movie has never made it to the big screen before, which is "partly what surprises the movie people," he says. And that's a big reason Arntz was so driven to make this film.
"This was part of our intent in doing it — to kick open the door for a lot of other movies that are spiritual or make you think about something and examine things," he says. "I think there's going to be a big interest in that."
In fact, Arntz predicts we'll be seeing a lot more meaningful film titles on the marquee: "I think [movie makers] will start going back to more of these spiritual bestsellers and option them."
What the #$^!' Is This Movie About?
Part documentary, part story, What the Bleep Do We Know!? introduces viewers to metaphysical concepts with the underlying theme that everything in the universe is interconnected.
Amanda, played by Marlee Matlin, has let anger and sadness rule her everyday life after infidelity enters her marriage. But through mysterious experiences and encounters — explained in parallel lines by a team of leading scientists and mystics — she begins to realize the power of thought and how it affects every cell of her body. The theories of quantum physics the talking heads present are complex, but the separate human story pulls you in. You glimpse what's beneath Amanda's unhappy life, and you find yourself invested in whether the weird science she's collided with might save her.
Producer-director William Arntz says he wanted to offer a "buffet" of messages for people to pick and choose from, but he ultimately hopes people leave the theater with an understanding of two main concepts: that you can become addicted to your emotions, and that you create your own reality. Arntz doesn't profess to have all the answers — hence the title — but the ideas presented in the film definitely make you think.

I was attempting to get Apple Movie trailers to work on the PS3 Media server. I've added the site pages in the PS3 server config file and the links on the PS3 update with new trailers daily. However when I attempt to play them on the PS3 the screen just appears black, a direct3d window appears on my computer upstairs, and the trailer streams the video into that, instead of the PS3 in my living room.
Is there some setting I'm missing here that is preventing the stream from outputting to the PS3? Do I have to somehow configure VLC to output the stream to the PS3 Media Server IP, which will in-turn send it to my TV, or maybe just use the IP for the PS3 itself? It's very odd, but if it would output to the PS3 it appears it would stream the trailers using VLC just fine.
I have multi-cast set in the router also, if that makes a difference. I'm at another location and can't provide the log right now. I can update the post later if nobody has any other ideas. PS3 Media Server is a fantastic app though, nothing better out there right now to stream to the PS3 and I've tried them all at one point. Thanks for any help, it would be great to get this working.

The Augusta Commission wants answers from the employee benefits company ING concerning the possibility that thousands of city workers' personal information has been compromised.
Part of the Augusta Commission meeting Thursday, June 29 felt like a court hearing. On the witness stand was the human resources director, answering the questions of Augusta commissioners.
The questions were all about a laptop, which was stolen from the mailroom of insurance company ING's Minneapolis office in March.
The computer contained personal information including the social security numbers of all 2700 city workers, even those who did not enroll in the program.
Company officials showed up to explain how it happened and why they needed that information. But surprising to some, city leaders for the most part placed most of the blame on the human resources department, saying they should have never released that information in the first place.
"I'm not so much worried about them, Mr. Mayor," said commissioner Marion Williams. "I'm worried about our internal people who are doing things to hurt the employees that they are supposed to be protecting."
"They needed that information to do the enrollment," said Robbie Burns, Augusta human resources director. "They needed that information on all employees to decide the amounts of coverage."
"Perhaps somebody in Kalamazoo, MI can be using some of our social security numbers and having identity theft," said commissioner Calvin Holland.
"I don't know what we can do except, really, take their word for it," said commissioner Jimmy Smith after the meeting.
They don't just seem to be taking their word for it, though, because an investigation has been opened to look into this matter. City attorney Steve Shepherd says privacy laws should have prevented this information from being released.
The main point ING officials drove home was that the data was encrypted. They stressed that there's a 99.9 percent chance it can't be accessed.
But commissioner Marion Williams says he believes it has been accessed.
He says that since the laptop was stolen, city employees have complained about getting calls from telemarketers.
Company officials say they are more than sure that did not happen.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - Pigsy's Perfect 10
Pigsy, the comical porcine character known for his one-line zingers and questionable hygiene, finally gets his time in the spotlight. The Titan Graveyard is a lonely place and Pigsy really needs some companionship beyond the mechs that roam the area. He dreams of the perfect woman and embarks on a mission to build one from scratch using scrap parts he finds around the junkyard. In contrast to the main game which features strong, capable Monkey as the playable character, Pigsy is much more of a lover than a fighter. Pigsy's gameplay will have a completely different gameplay dynamic, with a focus on stealth and sharp-shooting. He has plenty of tricks up his sleeves including a far-reaching hookshot, trusty sniper rifle, various grenades and devices, Trouble Vision eye piece and the aid of his trusty mechanical sidekick Truffles.
If you're stuck in Enslaved: Odyssey to the West - Pigsy's Perfect 10, ask your fellow GameFAQs members for help.

So basically I'm testing out a new set up and going with a pure streaming route vs a transcoding route and I've been hit with the inability to just stream video with an external subtitle file.
I normally just use srt subs and it works fine when I'm transcoding but I want to see if I can just purely stream media to offload all the workload to the media players.
MKVs with internal subs stream with the subtitles fine but all files with external subs don't show up even though when I browse the media folder I see 'filename.extention {External Subtitles}' for all the files with subtitles.
If I enter the #--Transcode--# folder [No Encoding]{External Subtitles} still doesn't show subtitles (I'm guessing it's the same as the default I set) while [MEncoder]{External Subtitles} shows subtitles but of course it's no longer streamed and seek capability is lost.
I'm running a Windows 8 x64 machine with a quadcore and PMS 1.72.0 Build: d9fd0a44c (2012-11-18).
The devices I'm streaming to is a PS3 running Showtime 4.1+ and an Android tablet and I'm getting another Android based media player for the TV (another reason why I'm trying to do a stream set up) to offset the PS3's h.264 level issue. The PS3 and my new Android media player are on a wired network.
I made a different conf for Showtime 4.1 and modified the Android.conf files to stream basically all the media extensions. Showtime 4.1 and Android both get detected as renderers.
Basically, I'm getting a new media player and want to preserve seek capability over a wired media share network which transcoding doesn't allow.

Take a Peek at the July Issue of CFG!
As far as we're concerned, texting on a date is like leaving the seat up: So. Freaking. Annoying. But according to experts, he doesn't mean to be rude. Shooting off a few texts while you're out generally means he's at ease with you, rather than disinterested, says relationship expert Tiger Devore, PhD. Since he sees it as no big deal, he won't stop unless you ask. Tell him it makes you feel like you're not important and ask if he'll pocket the phone unless it's an emergency.
According to experts, when guys have no clue what you want, they'd rather go mute then say the wrong thing. So if you ask their opinion on something they don't know much about, they're going to give you a non-answer. The more he knows about you and your interests, the less he should be falling back on this, says David Wygant, dating coach and author of Naked!: How to Find the Perfect Partner by Revealing Your True Self. If it's been over a year and he's still not speaking up, tell him that you're not cool with calling all of the shots and need him to be more decisive.

Sage Francis interview wth (?) on 11/28/02
"First up, how are you today?"
I woke up at 5 AM because my dreams were just a little too strange. I am in
Germany right now. To be completely honest, I feel like absolute shit. I was more reclusive than normal yesterday, but the day before yesterday was great. I was in high spirits. I'm looking for more of
those days.
"Why 'sage'?"
I just love that word. It is one of the best 4 letter words in our language,
besides the obvious.
"Did you come up against much difficulty being a white rapper, like eminem goes
on about, or were you accepted immediately?"
Of course I was faced with a lot of adversity. That's a no-brainer. But it's
reasons like that that I was insired to push myself and kill reasonable doubt
from each crowd I performed in front of.
"How long have you been rhyming and battling?"
Rhyming for well over 10 years. Battling on and off for 10 years.
"What made you want to start rapping in the first place?"
It was fun and empowering. Exiting. I just wanted to do it.
"How did you get involved with anticon?"
Anticon was originally based in New England, which is where I am from.
Eventually we met up with each other and hit it off really well. Our music was
getting clumped together before there was an official relation though. We all
have roots in traditional hiphop...at the same time we feel it is necessary to
push ourselves as artists and contribute something to the music rather than just
doing what is "tried and true."
"Are there any collaborations on the way?"
There's an album I did with Buck 65 and DJ Signify called "Sleep No More" that should released around February. A couple songs with Atmosphere. That's all for now.
"What do you think about the more 'out-there' releases by people like cLOUDDEAD,
reaching quiet, and greenthink? Do you like them, or are they a bit too far-out?"
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It really depends what you're looking for in music though. the Themselves show was one of the best live shows I have ever seen. It was "out there" in a very good way. I don't listen to Reaching Quiet or Greenthink much, but that's because I am more into classic rock or classic rap.
"Whats happening with non-prophets?"
After 4 years of Joe and I working together, the album is finally coming to a close. It is called HOPE and I am recording the last of the songs within the next 2 months. I can't wait for this to hit the public. I hope it knocks the shit out of their floppy heads.
"You have a huge amount of wordplay, did you read the dictionary when you were
younger, or does it come naturally?"
Hell no. I used to fancy the idea though. The dictionary has become a great companion of mine over the last few years, but it has nothing to do with wordplay. I tried reading encyclopedias when I was very young because I thought it would be a short cut to great knoweldge. That practice lasted about a half hour.The only thing I read in 4th Grade was Superfudge and the White Mountains and I honestly haven't read much since then. I think my vocabulary and writing potential has suffered because of it. All I cared about was hiphop and ninjas. I am hitting the books more these days...catching up on a lot of what I may have missed out on in my youth.
"On personal journals, where do your lyrics come from, and do you write them down
before recording them?"
They come from my brain. I wrote most of it before I recorded it. I wrote some of it YEARS before I recorded it. SOME of it was improv in the studio. I use the word "studio" very loosely.
"What's your favourite snack?"
Chips and salsa or chocolate chip cookies.
"Do you have any interest in producing, or do you wanna leave it for others?"
Yes, I do have an interest in it. I always have my hands in the production. Production goes beyong making beats. As far as making beats, I used to get down on my Akai S50 til it got jacked from my car trunk. That put a damper on my production career, and it's probably for the better. I will be doing my own beats within good time...but I am smart enough to know that my production doesn't match up to my lyrics and I would rather not force the issue and make my songs suffer because of it.
"Do you have any lyrical, musical or world outlook influences outside of hip hop?"
Most of my influences currently exist outside of hiphop...thank God.

Why do you use the word "studio" loosely? Are you recording on the road? If so, what kind of equipment do you have? If not, well, what kind of "studio"
you have?

remind me never to become an underground rap superstar so i never have to do sleezy interviews like that.
that was atrocious.
i feel bad for sage that he had to endure such un-thoughout questoins like that.
if it weren't for sage's ,unfortunately unaccesible to most, humor and charm that would have been the worst interview in history.
i, on the other hand, throughly enjoyed it.
hope the tour is treating you well Mr. Franklin.

actually i'm typing, not talking.
and i was commenting on the fact that sage has had some really good interviews in the past and this one was simply under par.
look any type of new information about sage found out through an interview is good.
but the guy could have found all those answers out himself if he wanted.
i would not waste a great oppurtunity like he was given by asking questions that can be found on the artists website.
shutting up now sir.

didn't you guys bug the neighbors recording in sole's apartment? I'm slowly building on the apartment studio round here but i'm afraid it all might get shut down if i decide not to hinder myself and do vocals and such at a volume that would let me emphasize each word fully, also, did you guys use an iso-booth? or just sit in the living room with the mic, i ask because it sounds pretty frickin good for an apartment setup i'd like to get quality but i bitch to much about constraints that i could probably work around.

RANDOLPH – Wellness educator Jude Powers will offer a course for children ages 8-11 on Saturday, Aug. 11 from 9:30 a.m. to noon titled "Home Alone and Safe."
The course is designed to teach children how to safely respond to a variety of home alone situations, including Internet and telephone safety, family communications, sibling care, personal and gun safety, and basic emergency care.
The course was created by the Southeastern Michigan and Oregon Trail Chapters of the American Red Cross to meet the needs of children who spend time alone without adult supervision. It helps kids understand the rules and responsibilities in a home alone situation and prepares them to anticipate potential problems and how to resolve them.
Children will engage in role playing, discussion, brainstorming and critical thinking. A video reviews the salient information, participants retain a workbook and relevant handouts, and each child will earn a certificate upon completion.
The course cost is $20 and it is being held at Gifford Medical Center's new Family Center space at the hospital in Randolph. The Family Center is beside Gifford Ob/Gyn and Midwifery on Route 12 (South Main Street). Call Powers at (802) 649-1841 to register or Nancy Clark at Gifford at (802) 728-2274.
The course cost is reduced thanks to a gift from the Lamson-Howell Foundation of Randolph.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants first baseman Brandon Belt will travel with the team to Chicago next week, then depart for Pittsburgh to be examined by concussion specialist Micky Collins.
"We'll have another evaluation with that and see where he's at," manager Bruce Bochy said Friday before the game against the Philadelphia Phillies. "He's about the same, so we think it's important that we get another look at him, another opinion to see where we're at."
Belt went back on the seven-day concussion disabled list a week ago after symptoms recurred five games into his return from his initial concussion-related stint on the D.L.
So now he'll meet with Collins, a noted concussion expert who works with several NFL teams. St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was treated by Collins when he dealt with concussions that ended his career in 2006 with the Giants.
"He should be fine and we're hoping he's OK to go today," Bochy said. "He's at the park and doing pregame stuff and if all that goes fine, he should catch (Friday)."
Sanchez went on the seven-day disabled list July 26 after suffering a concussion caused by a foul tip off his mask against the Los Angeles Dodgers the previous night. The Giants placed him on the 15-day disabled list Monday, three days after a foul tip off his mask forced him to leave his third rehab start.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's been busy researching a story on Burger King's WHOPPER sandwich, only to discover that there's way more to it than initially anticipated.
It all started when we were contacted by Burger King Worldwide to help spread the exciting news that participating Burger King restaurants in the Denver area are once again featuring the premium California WHOPPER sandwich and its WHOPPER Jr. counterpart on the menu.
After the email sat, unloved, in our inbox for a while, we then received a follow-up email asking whether or not we'd received the first one, and could we please help spread the word to local residents?
This prompted a series of conversations to determine our course of action, which ultimately resulted in this column.
Going above and beyond your everyday WHOPPER, the California WHOPPER sandwich is "made with high-quality ingredients like creamy guacamole, USDA certified fire-grilled ground beef, thick-cut hardwood smoked bacon, melted Swiss cheese, ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, freshly sliced onions and mayonnaise all served on a toasted sesame seed bun. It's a delicious tidal wave of flavor sure to heighten the senses and enhance your WHOPPER sandwich experience."
The only thing is - unless you have a magic ring used for summoning copious amounts of food like the now-retired Marvelous Magical Burger King himself - you'll have to hightail it down to Denver to get one.
Luckily, Silverthorne's Burger King has its own special WHOPPER on the menu right now - the Angry WHOPPER, made with habanero cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, jalapenos and crispy spicy onions, topped with "angry sauce."
"It's sweet," Daniela Matias, chief manager of the Silverthorne restaurant, said of the sauce, indicating that it appears to be a combination of mustard, ketchup and/or other stuff. "I love it," she said. "This is my favorite sandwich."
Withholding comment, a spokesperson for Burger King Worldwide indicated that the group is not yet ready to talk about the Angry WHOPPER. She did indicate, however, that consumers can expect exciting things from WHOPPER sandwiches moving forward - the return of the Angry WHOPPER among them.

STOCKTON — Though the sun has been hidden by clouds lately, it's difficult not to think about solar energy when you drive past a Lincoln Unified campus these days.
Sprawling solar-power structures are popping up all over the district. The solar systems will serve all of Lincoln Unified's elementary schools, as well as the district office. Solar energy is expected to start going online during the summer.
Lincoln Unified's dawning solar program is the result of voter approval seven months ago of the district's $48.5-million Measure A bond.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - The Union College softball team split a doubleheader against Cumberlands (Ky.) Tuesday at Union Field, winning game one, 8-5, while losing game two, 10-7.
With the spilt, Union moved to 1-1, while Cumberlands went to 1-3.
In game one, the Lady Bulldogs got off to a quick start at the plate to take a 7-0 lead after four innings. But, Cumberlands rallied over the final few innings, and had the bases loaded with two outs, down three runs in the bottom of the seventh. UC starter Katie Perkins, however, forced a out at third base to end the game.
Overall, catcher Cameron Campbell led UC in the game one, going 2-for-3 with two RBI. Perkins (1-0) picked up the win in the circle, tossing a complete game.
Game One - Turning Point
Union went up 3-0 after the first three innings, and essentially put the game away with a big four run, fourth inning, extending the lead out to 7-0 over the Lady Patriots. Erin Cooper, Rachel Cogdill, and Ashley Wojnowski all had RBI hits in the frame.
In game two, it was Cumberlands who leaped out to a 5-0 lead, smashing two home runs against starter Cogdill. Union, however, slowly came back, and took a 7-5 lead going into the top of the sixth.
There, Cumberlands scored four critical runs off reliever Gianna Schauer to go up 9-7. The Lady Patriots added another run in the top of the seventh, and shut down the Union line-up in the bottom half to salvage the split.
Overall, three Union players had multiple hits in the game - Wojnowski (2-for-3 with two runs scored), Danielle Bourn (2-for-4, RBI), and Autumn Greenwell (2-for-4, RBI). Schauer, a freshman, took the loss in the circle for Union (0-1), while Cumberlands' Ashleigh Hopf (1-1) was the winner, tossing three innings of scoreless relief.
Game Two - Turning Point
Down 7-5 entering the top of the sixth (and with Union scoring seven runs in a row), Cumberlands picked themselves up and scored four runs in the frame to go up two. Schauer, who did not get in any trouble before the inning, was pulled during it after surrendering four runs on five hits.
By the Numbers
• Union Interim Head Coach Becky Bishop picked up the first win of her coaching career with the Lady Bulldogs' victory in game one.
• The Lady Bulldogs smacked 18 hits in the doubleheader, and had seven extra base hits. Campbell alone had three doubles on the day, two of which came in game one.
• Speedster Wojnowski picked up where she left off last season in the stolen base department, going two-for-two in attempts on the afternoon.
• The victory in game one was the first for the Lady Bulldogs in their season opening game since 2010, an 8-0 win over St. Mary-of-the-Woods (Ind.) in five innings
Up next
The Lady Bulldogs host Grace (Ind.) and Berea (Ky.) at Union Field on Friday afternoon in a pair of games. The Grace game is set to start at 1 p.m., with the Berea game scheduled for a 5 p.m. start.

VAIL - The Vail Vitality Center is launching its Yoga Alliance registered 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training program starting May 3, taught by Gina Caputo, of Boulder, and Julia Clarke, of Vail. The Integrated Vinyasa Yoga teacher training offers an empowering and dynamic approach to the art and skill of teaching yoga from a place rooted in alignment, energetics and theme. The teacher training program takes place over seven weekends - Friday evening through Sunday evening - between May and August 2013.
"Colorado is what I'd call a 'high prana zone,' where prana is life-force, living energy," Caputo said. "It's not enough for people who live here to experience life second-hand via the Internet and television. Self-discovery and living requires engagement in life. And, I've found that these mountain-living yogis are well-poised to be leaders in a movement to inspire others to be more engaged in the art of living."
In the past, those seeking a teacher training have had to factor in the additional cost of long-distance travel and accommodations. This training offers High Country residents a chance to experience a world-class training in a local setting.
Clarke added the training is appropriate for both aspiring teachers and committed practitioners looking to deepen their experience of yoga.
"You will learn how to teach artful yoga classes through a study of philosophy and texts, anatomy and energetics, Sanskrit and hands-on assists, all with the intention of cultivating a broad and deep base from which to confidently teach with skill, creativity and authenticity," she said.
Caputo is a respected teacher of Vinyasa flow yoga and the former director of two yoga studios and a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training program she founded in 2004. She is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher at the highest level (E-RYT 500) through Yoga Alliance. Clarke teaches Vinyasa flow yoga and Anjali Restorative Yoga and is the yoga director at the Vail Vitality Center, and a certified ayurvedic wellness consultant.
The training spans seven long weekends, beginning on May 3 and costs $2,400. Class times are Fridays from 5 to 8 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. For exact dates and an application visit www.vailvitalitycenter.com or call 970-476-7960.

After a good win at Stoke and Wigan on a high after the FA cup win i was feeling quite comfortable with our situation that was until i heard Pardew on the radio this morning saying now that Newcastle are safe he could not care less if they lose 4 nil to Arsenal on the final day he then said obviously the Spurs fans would not want to hear that.Whilst his concern is obviously Newcastle i would have thought he would keep such views to himself as a professional.I hope this does not mean the Geordies will roll over and gift the gooners 3 points on the last day with the managers blessing.Anyway not long to go now and keeping my fingers crossed. COYS
If he did say that I'll give him a ring and give him a right earful. Mind you, you've got to bear in mind he'll have been up to his neck in Newcastle Brown Ale when he spouted it.
I wouldnt of took it seriously, but I heard they are getting Martin Fulop to cover the banned goalie...lol..

So I just got a road bike and I'm riding more and more each week. I've heard much talk of the need for a saddle with a "love channel" and I wanted to get some feedback. It seems like a lot of this comes down to personal preference, but this is a serious topic, guys. I mean, I feel good to be out there riding, keeping my heart in shape and not clogging-up the roads with another vehicle, but if this leads to a decrease in "performance" then you'll quickly see x-cyclists driving huge SUVs to compensate for their shortcomings. I'm not trying to say I'm having any issues, but I think this is something that all male cyclists should consider. Whats the real deal with Rx saddles?
The saddle you choose can make a difference between a great ride and a lousy ride. I have quickly learned that saddle preference is a very individual characteristic. After getting my first bike, I quickly threw away the stock saddle and bought a Fi:zi:'k Arionne. Many people swear by these saddles but after riding for several months I found myself getting numb "down there" on all of my longer rides.
I then tried a saddle with the center groove as you speak of and found it to be even worse. After speaking with many other cyclists, they share the same sentiments about saddles with the center groove. The only one that I've heard is any good is the Selle SMP, and it is pricey.
Personally, I ride the Selle Italia Flite Gel saddle and it has been a life changer. I no longer feel numb "down there" and my overall endurance on rides has increased greatly. Further, it is worth mentioning that I was properly fit for all of the saddles I tried. If you have not been fit for your bike and saddle, you should be before making any changes. Sometimes a proper bike fit will make an enourmous difference in your comfort on the bike.
Here's to good riding!!
Thats great advice and I really appreciate it. I've been doing some research in the meantime and I found the Sella SLK and the SLC and I was wondering if you or anyone else has heard anything about these saddles? The center grove on these both begin in the center and continue and remain separate towards the rear of the saddle creating two independent supports on both right and left side. I look at this and think that the rider would benefit from the center grove, light weight (190-215g) and shock absorption and flex. Thanks for the help.
Try Selle SMP (Glider, Plus, Pro models with pads) they are not light though, around 200-300 grams. It is very comfortable especially on long rides. Read the article and review about it. Sometimes we are too concern about being weight weenies and we sacrifice comfort.
This is a great topic. I too have been looking for a comfortable saddle. I have been looking at the Specialized Avatar. I have been fitted to see which width I should get. I have been apprehensive though buying it because it is pricey, well atleast I think so at $100. I will definitely check out the Selle that has been mentioned. Toby, be sure you get fitted for width, if you get to narrow of a seat, you end up with your ischium, or your Sit Bone, to far off the seat edge this causes pain and ultimately numbness. With the seat I currently have, the stock seat, I get uncomfortable around 18-20 miles and it seriously effects my performance (In the ride) not the other. I am still debating what seat to buy as well. If you find one before me, let me know what you found to be the best.

Grieving a Chronic Illness
Topic Overview
You have just been diagnosed with an illness that will last your entire lifetime. You may have many different feelings, such as anger, resentment, or denial. These feelings are normal and expected because you are experiencing the loss of what your life was like before you were diagnosed with this disease.
You can help yourself adjust by:
Grieving is not a simple process in which you simply adjust to a loss and then never grieve it again. The loss is always with you and you may repeat the process, or some steps in the process, over and over again as you live with this loss. Realizing that you are experiencing a major loss and dealing with your grief will give you more control over your life and your ability to manage this disease.
If you find that you need help in dealing with your feelings, talk with your doctor about counseling.

Evaporative coolers use a substantial amount of water to run. Systems with bleed valves and sump dump systems use the most water. This should be taken into consideration in areas where water is expensive or in short supply.
A study conducted by the University of Arizona's Office of Arid Lands Studies at the request of the city of Phoenix tried to quantify exactly how much water is used by evaporative coolers. The study found that average daily water use was 66 gallons per day, or 14,000 gallons per year (212 days of cooling). Coolers without a bleed valve used an average of 3.5 gallons per hour, while the coolers with a bleed valve used 10.5 gallons per hour. The percentage of household water used by the coolers was 25.8% for households without air conditioning, and 15.8% for all houses. On average, coolers ran 2,100 hours during the summer (Karpiscak et. al. 1998). Similar results were found in a study conducted in El Paso, Texas (Tarquin 1999).
In general, the amount of water used by your evaporative cooler will depend upon its size, air movement, and the relative humidity of the air. All things being equal, a 4500 CFM cooler uses less water than a 6000 CFM cooler. However, the most important difference is water usage rates for evaporative coolers is the use of bleed water.
Thermostats and timers can be utilized to decrease the amount of water (and energy) used by evaporative coolers. A thermostat can be set to a certain temperature so that the evaporative cooler is only used when necessary. In addition, timers can be used so that the evaporative cooler can turn on just before residents get home.

Why the Stock Market Isn't in a Bubble, in Three Charts
The bubblicious chatter needs to stop: Stocks are not in a bubble. Period.
That's the message from Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, who points to number of metrics suggesting stocks have not reached bubble territory. At least not yet.
"It's premature to be calling this market a bubble," she wrote in a note to clients.
The S&P 500 crested above 1800 on Monday for the first time before finishing just below the big, round number. At last glance, the index traded at about 1790.
Ms. Sonders cites three indicators backing up her thesis: The S&P 500′s rolling 10-year returns, stock valuations and the magnitude and the duration of the current rally compared to previous bull markets.
As the chart below shows, the 10-year average of annual market returns is still running below typical long-term performances.
"Notice the long-term pattern of this chart," she says. "Investors don't spend a lot of time hanging around the median line, but instead the market tends to trend in one direction for multi decades (well-overshooting the mean) before heading back down to well-undershoot the mean.
"Being less than five years into the upcycle, history suggests we have more room to run," she says.
Next, she compares the S&P 500′s price-to-earnings ratio to what it was during prior market peaks. As the chart below shows, the market's valuation is still running below the average of prior peaks, both on a trailing and on a forward basis.
"I would also point out that the one occurrence in the table above when P/Es peaked out in single-digit territory (1980) inflation and interest rates were through the roof (thereby making earnings much less valuable)," she says. "Today's benign inflation and rate environment arguably support a higher-than-average valuation."
The final chart compares the duration and magnitude of the current rally to prior bull markets. The S&P 500 is up 26% this year and 165% from the March 2009 low. It last suffered a pullback of at least 10% in October 2011.
Still, here's a look at how the current rally stacks up:
"This bull market has gone on longer and has been stronger than many prior bull markets; but hasn't yet approached some of the gains of prior secular bull markets," Ms. Sonders says.
The takeaway: Stocks aren't in a bubble. But the higher the market goes, the more there is to worry about.
"I continue to hope for a pullback here in the near-term to alleviate some of the frothiness that's crept in and keep the bull market going," she says. "But I continue to fear a melt-up. Why 'fear?' As good as they feel while they're happening, they don't end well."

On Friday, April 26th, the SMSU/Community Concert Band will present their Spring concert entitled, "Stylish, Silly, and Sublime." Ever wondered what it would be like if a giant, nuclear enhanced lizard attacked a well-known tourist destination? You will hear just that in Eric Whitaker's playful, "Godzilla Eats Las Vegas."
The lights, the screams, and the musical icons will all be represented. And who better to save the day than an army of "Elvises"? The concert will also feature the music of John Philip Sousa ("Fairest of the Fair"), Frank Ticheli ("Abracadabra"), and Ralph Vaughan Williams ("Linden Lea").
Admission is free and open to the public. The concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theatre on the SMSU campus.

Diagnostic chip radios results
21.03.2013 - EPFL scientists have developed a tiny, portable personal blood testing implant that sends diagnostic data through mobile phone network.
A tiny subcutaneously implanted blood testing chip can analyse several diagnostic blood parameters and then transmit the results directly to a doctor's computer. The device, developed by researchers at Swiss EPFL in Lausanne is good news for patients with chronic illness such as diabetes or those undergoing chemotherapy, whose blood needs to be monitored permanently. The implant offers an alternative to non-invasive sensors under development, which measure through the skin.
Each of the 5 sensor's surfaces can be covered with an enzyme that allows to detect a blood metabolite or with an antibody that captures specific protein markers. The few cubic centimetre-large chip's sensors can trace blood glucose, proteins, ATP or organic acids such as lactate simultaneously, Giovanni de Micheli and Sandro Carrara announced at DATE 13, Europe's largest electronics conference.
Potentially, we could detect just about anything," explains De Micheli. "But the enzymes have a limited lifespan." The enzymes currently being tested are good for about a month and a half; that's already long enough for many applications.." After the measurement, the implant emits radio waves over a safe frequency. The patch collects the data and transmits them via Bluetooth to a mobile phone, which then sends them to the doctor over the cellular network. The implant could be particularly useful in chemotherapy applications.
Currently, oncologists use occasional blood tests to evaluate their patients' tolerance to a particular treatment dosage. Additionally, in patients with chronic disorders, the implants could send alerts even before symptoms emerge, and anticipate the need for medication. The researchers hope the system will be commercially available within 4 years.
