2009 News Releases
Longwood dining hall actively involved in sustainability
March 12, 2009
Longwood University's dining hall is doing its fair share in the university's sustainability campaign.
The decision to go trayless has reduced food waste by nearly two-thirds, surpassing even the expectations of Longwood Dining Services/ARAMARK officials. The initiative, which became mandatory in August 2008 after being tried on a voluntary basis during the 2007-08 academic year, also has conserved the water, chemicals and energy used to wash trays.
Over spring break recently, the sustainability effort was strengthened when a machine called a food waste pulper was installed in the dining hall. These pulpers water-grind food scraps, cardboard and paper, then extract most of the moisture to produce a dry, organic pulp. Longwood Dining Services has worked closely with the university's Facilities Management department to identify a beneficial composting area for the organic pulp. The organic pulp is used to enhance the health and beauty of campus plantings, while reducing the overall amount of waste coming from Dorrill Dining Hall.
"Going trayless, sustainability, and the pulper are all tied together," said Grant Avent, director of Longwood Dining Services. "By going trayless, we have reduced organic waste, and now we're going to use it for compost, thanks to the pulper. Going trayless is truly beneficial to the environment."
Kelly Martin, Longwood's sustainability coordinator, agrees. "Going trayless touches on all three components of sustainability: environmental sustainability since it reduces the algae blooms in the Chesapeake Bay; economic sustainability, by saving money, water, detergent and energy since you're using less to wash dishes; and social sustainability, since we're going to give FACES (local food pantry) a check for $1,000 from the sale of the trays," she said. The trays are being sold for a minimum $1 donation.
Martin and Louise Waller, Longwood's space planning and real property manager, visited a food waste pulper at the University of Virginia's Observatory Hill dining facility in fall 2007.
"After food is scrapped off plates, the food is carried along in a trough of running water to the pulper, where it grinds the food up similar to a garbage disposal," Martin said. "Unlike a garbage disposal, you get the food back; it doesn't go down the drain. Once the pulper grinds the food, it extracts the water and discharges the pulped food waste down a chute and into a trash container. The organic waste, which comes out with an oatmeal-like consistency, will be composted. Longwood has a compost pile at the Randolph Street warehouse consisting of landscaping debris and the ash that comes out of the heating plant; the pulped food waste will be added to this compost pile. The finished compost will be used on campus as fertilizer."
Based on what she observed at U.Va., Martin estimates that Longwood will generate about 3,613 pounds of pulped material per week.
The dining hall currently grounds up its waste. The pulper, which will be installed in the dish room on the Iler side of the dining hall, is from the Hobart Corporation, the world's leading supplier of food equipment for the food service and food retail industries.
Longwood Dining Services compared the amount of food wasted on a Monday before going trayless, Nov. 12, 2007, with a Monday after going trayless, Feb. 9, 2009. Before going trayless, an average of .35 pounds of food was wasted per day per customer. After going trayless, that figure was only .13 pounds, for a 64 percent reduction in food waste. Even though slightly more meals were served on the Monday after going trayless, only 504 pounds were wasted as opposed to 1,399 pounds in 2007.
"I didn't realize how much food was wasted until we measured it," Avent said. "It was more than I expected. It's not that people are eating less; they're wasting less. Going trayless has proven to be a real savings."

Finding Your Way
How Do I ... Change the Order of a Job in the Publish Queue
1) Once you have clicked the publish tab, the following screen appears showing where your job is in the queue. The publish queue is shared by all Cascade users so ocassionally you will find that there is a job ahead of yours. If this is an emergency situation where you need to publish a page immediately, you have been given the rights to move your job to the top of the queue.
2) To move your job to the top of the queue, you must place your cursor in the white space after the file name in the Name column. Your cursor will change to a double vertical arrow. You can then just drag your job to the second in the queue directly after the job that is currently publishing. Please note that you cannot move your job to any higher than second in the queue. The first job in the queue is publishing and must complete that task before your job can start publishing.

NEW BEDFORD — The city's school district has hired two retired Plymouth administrators to serve as interim business managers through the end of the fiscal year in June.
Barry Haskell, a retired superintendent of Plymouth schools, and Robert Gurek, a retired business manager from the Plymouth district, will be splitting the position, which was vacated in November when Deb Brown resigned.
Haskell and Gurek, who have been on board for about three weeks, will split a salary not to exceed $68,000 through June 30, according to interim Superintendent Michael Shea.
Shea said he wanted to hire an interim business manager so that the new superintendent could be involved in the hiring process once he or she is on board.
One of the first tasks facing the duo is to develop the district's fiscal 2014 budget, something many districts have already started, said Shea.
Haskell and Gurek will also help the district as it works to transition to a new software system, known as MUNIS, which will link its budget to the rest of the city's, according to Shea.

MILLINGTON, Tenn. (NNS) -- If setting financial goals is on the list of New Year's resolutions Sailors should create a plan, write down goals and review saving and spending strategies, said a Navy financial specialist Jan. 3.
"State your financial resolutions simply and clearly for the new year," said Stacy Livingstone-Hoyte, financial counselor, Fleet and Family Support Center (FFSC). "If Sailors set too many or unrealistic financial goals, they may not be able to accomplish any of them. To stay accountable, maintain a checklist, track how you are doing throughout the year and make modifications as needed."
Livingstone-Hoyte also suggests Sailors meet with their local command financial specialist (CFS) or other financial counseling resource to review the plans they have set in place to achieve their goals. A CFS provides financial education and training, counseling, and information referral at the command level at no cost to Sailors and their families.
After Sailors create their financial plan, Livingstone-Hoyte encourages them to make S.M.A.R.T. goals; this money management acronym refers to making Specific, Measureable, Action-Oriented, Realistic and Timely financial goals.
And don't forget to write them down. A crucial part of any money management plan is to establish or review financial goals, evaluate accomplishments, anticipate, and make and implement changes where necessary.
"With a proposed 1.7 percent pay increase in 2013, Sailors should consider viewing this as 'found' or 'new money'," said Livingstone-Hoyte. "New money can be saved, spent, invested or a combination of each. The idea being that what isn't seen cannot be spent."
Sailors are also encouraged to review their credit reports. Active-duty service members and spouses can request their free myFICO credit report from their base financial counselor.
Paying off debt is one of the top financial resolutions for many and there are several methods for Sailors to consider when doing this, said Livingstone-Hoyte. One strategy is to tackle the debt that has the highest interest rate first. Mathematically, this is usually the most advantageous way to pay off debt. Once that is paid off, move on to the next highest interest rate debt. This way, an individual is making more progress by reducing how much of their money goes to paying interest each month.
"Smallest balance" and "shortest term" are a few other debt-elimination choices. For some people, paying off the smallest balance can provide a strong sense of accomplishment and the motivation to keep moving forward. Using a simple debt repayment calculator can help a person make this decision.
"Set a goal, make a plan and save automatically - this is the theme of the 2013 Military Saves campaign," said Livingstone-Hoyte. "The focus here is to master the fundamentals of money management by implementing good habits and sticking to your plans."
Service members can visit www.MilitarySaves.org to take the "Saver's Pledge," read success stories of other military families and sign-up to receive objective year-round advice about personal finances.
Financial matters that occur from overspending or bad budgeting, such as failure to pay bills, bad credit, bankruptcy and foreclosures can negatively impact a Sailor's career.
"Financial management is a key quality of life issue that affects every Sailor, their family members and the command," said Livingstone-Hoyte. "Bad financial decisions can drastically affect the morale, readiness and retention of Sailors."
Sailors experiencing financial challenges should notify their chain of command and work with their CFS to develop a budget and explore additional options such as military relief societies, eligibility for interest rate reductions and other strategies.
For more information on financial planning, budgeting or investing, contact CFS, the local FFSC or call the Navy Personnel Command customer service center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

A Los Angeles woman has been charged in connection with four burglaries at jewelry stores in Torrance, police said Tuesday.
Raynel Kenna Jackson, 25, who is suspected of working as a getaway driver in the crimes that netted $100,000 in loot, was arrested Feb. 13, Torrance police Sgt. Robert Watt said.
Detectives identified Jackson as a suspect following the Feb. 3 shooting and arrest of Owen Lazaro Thompson, 43, of Las Vegas.
Two police officers shot at Thompson when they confronted him as he emerged through a shattered window at Morgan's Jewelers at Hawthorne and Sepulveda Boulevard. He was hit in the finger.
Police later tied Thompson and Jackson to two burglaries at the Robbins Brothers jewelry store at Torrance and Hawthorne boulevards, and another at Sing's Jewelry at 24020 Hawthorne Blvd. in November, Watt said.
Jackson and Thompson are charged with commercial burglary. Police recovered some of the stolen property.

Yesterday evening, the cabinet held long talks on the proposed Gilad Shalit (our kidnapped soldier by the Hamas organisation) swap, and senior defense officials and IDF officers admitted that a mass release of security prisoners to the West Bank would give Hamas a substantial boost and create major operational challenges and danger for the State of Israel. One of the main issues that reportedly remains at the core of the cabinet's debate is whether Israel will allow some of the released terrorists, many of them real cold-blooded murderers, to return to the West Bank. Hamas would naturally want some prisoners – particularly the senior ones – to return to the West Bank, where they would likely try and rebuild the terrorist group's infrastructure, which has been significantly damaged by continuous IDF operations in recent years. "A massive release to the West Bank could alter the balance," said one IDF officer. And as before, no decision has yet been made. It's evidently up to Prime Minister Natanyahu to decide what to do with those terrorist prisoners, a difficult ruling if ever there was one. Maybe today we'll know more.
And now for something different. I'll write about a local but humane deed which occured a few days ago. During the Hanukah week, when schools were closed and certain places of work sent their workers on holiday, a family with a number of children went on an excursion in one of the forests near Jerusalem. Suddenly they noticed that one of their sons, an 8 year old boy suffering from autism, was missing.
They started looking for him but with no avail, and as time passed, it was already 3 in the afternoon, they applied to the police for help. Straight away this problem was also broadcast on television and radio, and over one thousand people, some in full buses, appeared in order to help the police with the search. An hour after midnight the boy was safely found, freezing in the cold, but otherwise not hurt. This shows how much people care and want to help, because it is doubtful if he could have come out alive without their help.
And now for another humane deed, this time performed by two Muslim Arabs who had been working near a building last week, when they heard shouts for help from a burning apartment and managed to save a Jewish family from almost certain death, by breaking down the door and getting the parents and children out. When interviewed later, they said, that the religion doesn't matter "people are people". Maybe if peace making was left to the "people" and not politicians, we could achieve peace.
Now for a more unpleasant incident. Last Wednesday someone took down the famous sign over the Auschwitz concentration camp which said " Arbeit macht frei " (Means "work makes for freedom). These were evidently the first words the unfortunate people who were sent to the camp saw, and they were supposed to make them believe they were coming to a "work camp". But since the end of World War II, this sign has become a sort of symbol for the murder of the millions. Therefore its disappearance is believed to be an anti-semitic act. President Shimon Peres met with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and told him that Israeli citizens and Jews throughout the world were "deep shocked" by the incident. "The sign has an extremely deep historical meaning for the Jewish people and for the whole world and it serves as a memorial monument to the millions of Jews who were murdered in this camp." Well, yesterday we were informed that the sign, broken into three pieces had been found in the north of Poland, far away from Auschwitz, and that five suspects had been arrested and were being interrogated.
The reason for the theft is still unknown.
Shalom from Irene

Year-end film awards are being announced by critics' associations and boards from New York to Los Angeles. You'll find most of the contenders on the schedule of FirstLight, Maui Film Festival's Academy screenings continuing through the end of the year in Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.
Earlier this week, festival director Barry Rivers revised the previously announced Monday program to screen "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" at 2 p.m., "The Help" at 5 p.m. and Steven Spielberg's "War Horse" at 7:30 p.m.
Originally conceived 13 years ago to screen potential Oscar contenders for industry professionals spending the holidays on Maui, FirstLight has gone on to establish itself as a world-class film series which has a perfect record of screening all the subsequent best-picture Oscar winners before they were even announced.

Steven Spielberg's "War Horse" is a late addition to the FirstLight lineup.

Social media may be old hat to some job hunters, but others could still use a shove. A new rule of job searching is that if you're looking, you should be on LinkedIn.com.
"I'm on LinkedIn every day, and I tell my students to get on it," says Shelley Wales, a career adviser in Kansas City. "Recruiters use it to find candidates."
For free, you can:
Create your own profile;
List your work history;
Get people to recommend you online;
Tell what kind of job you're looking for;
Search for people who are connected to people who might help you.
By building your own connections on LinkedIn you can "find people in a company you're targeting and maybe even get the names of the human resource people or interviewer," Wales said.

ke. It's fine. It's the people who are crazy."a very funny and quirky look at an American gated community was a little bit like one of Louis Theroux's weird weekends, except Charlie Le Duff, the host, is less smug and much funnier. He just ambles along, asking simple questions before pouncing Columbo-like with a killer last line. "Oh look, there's a Mexican over there….gardening." "People ask me what Canyon Lake is li
At the heart of it all was a question that BBC4 had been trailing for the past few weeks – 'Are gated communities the new segregation?" On the basis of this show, probably yes, but it's a segregation some of the inmates are eager to break out of. One 18 year old kid was all set to join the Marines just to get out of there. Unfortunately the Marines wouldn't have him, so he had to go back.
Of course, with all these kinds of gated communities, there is the classic Agatha Christie scenario of what happens when an insider turns out evil. Apparently this happened a few years ago when one of the members killed his ex-girlfriend and burnt the house to the ground. And there are apparently 6 registered sex offenders living in the small community, so News of the World readers shouldn't be selling up their houses just yet.
If they turned all this into an episode of Desperate Housewives, you wouldn't believe it. But it was all quite hilariously true, and Charlie Le Duff should be on British screens more.

this is the opnly drug to relieve my pain. and it works in hours!!i don't take it everyday but whenever the pain ans stiffness gets too asful. daily use is too hard on my stomach and prn use works for me.
this medication was hard on my stomach i believe ibuprofin worked just as good
It has helped to relieve some pain. However the side effects are a bit worrisome.
I am a 55 year old male and have been taking daypro for almost 10 years. Carpal tunnel sysmtoms are completely stopped with this medicine. I can miss one dose and feel the pain. I've had no side effects that were detrimental to this drug. Has allowed me many hours of pain relief and a more normal day to day living. Arthritis in hands is getting worse now. My doctor is changing me to Mobic. Hopefully it will work as well as daypro.

I know this works for my arthritic pain because I tried to go off of it and I was in severe pain. I am back on my Daypro and I have been taking it for 5 years and I shall continue.

The BirdFair, that is. Yes, it's that time of the year again but instead of a couple of hours across from Redditch, the trip took nearly four up from Portishead – a bit of a miscalculation there.
So I didn't see much and certainly didn't have time to register any more than one little egret and the customary ruff. I did get a red kite at Cherwell Services on the way over, so today has largely rescued the whole shebang. A wee session at Upton Warren gave me my 187th year bird – to whit, green sandpiper. Then for good measure a solitary yellow wagtail dropped in to the Flashes for about five seconds and dropped out again.
There was no sign of the reported garganey despite my best efforts on several teal. Oh well, you can't win 'em all. Weather willing, I'll return via Malvern and maybe Abergavenny tomorrow. I see them both as candidates for Birding by Train.

Skill Level Beginner
One of the most basic ways to draw paths and shapes inside of Illustrator is to freehand draw them utilizing the Paintbrush and Pencil tools. In this movie, I'll walk you through using both of these, and how you can create some really simple, hand-drawn pieces of artwork. I am going to start off by creating a brand new document, and in order to do that, I am going to hit Command+N or Control+N on my keyboard. Once I do that, I will accept the defaults, and hit OK. Once I get my new document created, I am going to come over to find the Paintbrush tool, and the Pencil tool. The Paintbrush tool can be accessed by hitting the letter B on your keyboard, or simply by clicking it in the Tools panel.
The Pencil tool can be accessed by hitting the letter N on your keyboard. You'll notice the keyboard shortcuts when you hover over them. I am going to first start off with the brush tool, and with the Paintbrush tool selected, I can either come out here and start painting, or I can set up some options. I will worry about the options in just a second. Let me show you exactly how the Paintbrush tool works. Basically, you just come out here, and it's like you have a paintbrush in your hand. Your mouse cursor is controlling the paintbrush. You just come out and start making shapes. So in this case, I will just make, like, a cursive J. There we go. Very simple; very easy.
It doesn't select the path after you get done drawing it, though, but you can set that up inside of the Illustrator options. Let me grab my Selection tool, and select this piece of artwork, and delete it. Let's go over now to the brush, and double-click on the Paintbrush tool. When I double-click on the Paintbrush tool, you are going to see that there are several different options available to you. Fidelity; this controls how far you have to move your mouse or stylus before Illustrator adds a new anchor point to the path. Basically, when you are moving your hand around, and drawing with the Paintbrush tool, Illustrator is automatically dropping anchor points every four pixels, let's say.
You can increase or decrease this amount by adjusting the Fidelity. The Smoothness controls the amount of smoothing that Illustrator applies when you're using this tool. When you are drawing with a mouse, you might want to turn up the Smoothness just a little bit. If you are drawing with the drawing tablet, you're probably to be okay here, but you might want to crank up the Smoothness if you find that your paths are a little too jagged. You also have several options here at the bottom. Fill new brush strokes; basically this means the new path that you draw is automatically going to have a fill color associated with it. In most cases, though, you might not want this unless you are drawing a completely closed path.
If you are just drawing strokes, there's no need for a fill. Keep Selected; this determines whether or not Illustrator keeps the artwork selected once you have draw it. I am going to go ahead and turn this on. You can also choose to Edit Selected Paths, which determines whether you can change an existing path with the Paintbrush tool. Basically, this means if you have a path already on your screen, you can use the Paintbrush tool to add brushstrokes to it. And then finally, you get a slider that says Within. This means how far away from a path do you have to be before Illustrator allows you to add to it? In this case, you have to be within 12 pixels of this.
You can ask a reduce this to make sure you are more precise, or you can increase it to make it a little bit more loose. If you want to reset this dialog box after you have made any changes in here, you can simply hit the Reset button. I am going to hit OK, and keep going. When I am drawing with the Paintbrush tool, I can do lots of different things. I can draw freeform paths, like this, and as you can see, they remain selected after I have drawn them, simply because I made that change in the options. In addition to the freeform paths, I can also draw closed paths as well.
As I'm drawing with the Paintbrush tool, I can hold down the Option or Alt key, and a circle appears. Once I go around, and I'm ready to complete my path, I can let go of my mouse, and Illustrator automatically completes the path for me, then I can let go of my Option or Alt key. Let's try that one more time. I am going to start drawing a shape, and I will just draw something wacky, kind of like a star. When I am ready to complete this, I hold down the Option or Alt key, let go of my mouse, and then let go of my Option or Alt key.
Illustrator has drawn the shape for me, and closed the path. Otherwise, if I don't hold down the Option or Alt key, it's very difficult to draw a closed path. If I zoom in to the shape I just drew, you will notice these didn't join up. So I would have to use something like Join or Average in order to get them to make one single path. Now let's select all of these, and we will get rid of them, and let's go over and grab the Pencil tool.
The Pencil tool, much like the Paintbrush tool, has options associated with it as well. Let's double-click the Pencil tool to open those up. Again, you get Tolerances at the top; Fidelity, and Smoothness. Fidelity controls how for you have to move your mouse or stylus before Illustrator drops a new anchor point. In this case, it's set to 2.5. It's a little bit lower than the Paintbrush tool is, by default. Smoothness; smoothness with the Pencil tool is very important, because the Pencil tool is just like a pencil, it's very fine pointed, and it's kind of hard to draw a really nice curved line with it.
You might want to crank up the Smoothness if you are drawing a lot of curves. You also have Options: to fill the new pencil strokes; that means you add a fill as you start to draw with the Pencil tool. You can also choose to keep it selected afterwards, Edit Selected Paths, which means, if you already have paths on your artboard, you can add pencil strokes to it, and again, the Within slider at the bottom, indicating how close to the existing path you have to be before you're allowed to add to it. Let's go ahead now and hit OK. Now I will come out here, and I will just start drawing with the Pencil tool.
As you can see, it's very simple just to come out and draw. But I can't make very nice curves; you see there, it's kind of jagged in certain areas. Same way here. So the Pencil tool without the Smoothness cranked up is a little bit difficult to use, in my opinion. Let's double-click that, and I will crank up the Smoothness quite a bit; something like 50%. Hit OK, and watch the difference. See how nice and smooth that is? It really simplifies the path, and makes it a lot more smooth.
Same way here. If I draw that, not as many anchor points; not as many corners. Let me select all of this, we will press Backspace or Delete. When you are drawing with the Pencil tool, or the brush tool, you always have the option to create open or closed paths, and it's totally up to you. But remember, you had to hold down the Option or Alt key while you are drawing it in order for the path to know that it's supposed to close itself when you're done. All in all, freeform drawing inside of Illustrator is best served when you're using a tablet drawing device or a stylus.
Drawing with a mouse is pretty difficult unless you have a really steady hand. So my recommendation is to go out and try to find some sort of drawing device if you're going to be doing a lot of freehand drawing. Once you've mastered drawing with your device, you can actually come back in and start practicing with the Paintbrush and Pencil tools, and see what develops. You will be amazed that what you can create with one of those devices, compared to how it works with the mouse.

I would appreciate feedback on whether what I am doing is sane and
where the operator error might be.
I have box A-home (Win), B-office (Linux) and C-workstation(Linux).
Both A-home and C-workstation have local, DHCP-ed, NAT'ed addresses. B-
office and C-workstation run ssh daemons. From A-home I want to run
cygwin-X and be able to run a single command in addition, that will:
- open a terminal on C-workstation
- enable me to run X commands on C-workstation with display on A-home
- enable me to run vncviewer on A-home for the server on C-workstaton
I set up a straight ssh connection with X11 forwarding to B-office;
works great both for terminal and X11.
I set up a new connection as follows:
- target C-workstation (at default port, i.e. 22)
- X11 forwarding
- tunneling L 25900:C-workstation:5900
- proxied with local command: plink B-office -nc %host:%port
As I understood the docs, the above should set up a tunnel through B-
office to C-workstation by running plink per proxy definition, and
then use it for all other traffic, including login, X11 and VNC.
- login/terminal and VNC work fine, X11 commands on C-workstation
Xlib: unexpected connection setup reply from server, type 108.
<x-command>: unable to open display "localhost:10.0".
- putty log (from the putty term window's system menu) shows:
2008-10-26 03:45:28 Received X11 connect request from 127.0.0.1:57019
2008-10-26 03:45:28 Starting local proxy command: C:\Program Files
\Putty\plink.exe B-office -nc ::1:6000
2008-10-26 03:45:28 Opening X11 forward connection succeeded
2008-10-26 03:45:29 Forwarded X11 connection terminated
Looks to me like after getting the connect request from C-workstation
back to A-home, putty somehow feels compelled to forward it back
through the original proxy with a new tunnel, which looks completely
wrong. Seems like all the traffic should go through the tunnel, that
was created in the first place with the proxy.
- what am I missing?
- how should I be accomplishing my goal?
- last resort; is this a bug in putty?

First person I talked to was Vibrant Spirit. First reading was fantastic because I was at my most volunerable. He promised ex is coming back by a certain date, marriage by November 2012, 3 kids, happy perfect life. It sounded too good to be true but it was what I needed to hear. Then the predictions didn't come true but I was asked to keep faith so I did. Each month prediction date was changed, and nothing every came true. Heart ache after heart ache. Instead of moving on, I held onto something that wasn't there for me anymore and this person refuses to refund my money. Each time you contact the site, they send you coupons but no straight answers to who will refund my money back.
Master Enigma same thing - First dates and promises of what is going to happen. Then when questioned about why his predictions didn't come true, he started yelling at me and started being rude. At first I thought maybe it is my fault but no it wasn't. I don't care how many great ratings these people have in their accounts.....they all just said biggest of lies to me. Told me when to take my boards, which was also a disaster. Then I told him the outcome of his directions....totally changed his response on me and said, now you see what an immature boy he is, do you really want him? Well why didn't you just say that during the first reading then? Also more readings I had with him, he started commanding that I hire him right away....no more free 3 minutes as the site advertised. So I never spoke to him again.
In my search of answers, I contacted Mystic Marshall. Again high rated psychic. Said I needed to contact my ex within certain time period and let him know I'm still open to him and thats all. Complete opposite has happened.....ex has moved on with a new woman in fact. He was mad that I questioned his prediction and so I apologized to him thinking maybe he is right. When tried to contact him again, he blocked me from having contact.
I became a psychic addict because I didn't know who else to go to for answers. 6 months of no contact from ex should have been sign but all these so called psychics held me back. I don't want anyone to go through what I went through. At first I was embarrassed of admitting my addiction but I'm stopping now. I have talked to so many other psychics on the same site to try them....
Spiritual Divini, Love Readings by Sara as well........they were all false. All gave false hopes and false dates to look forward to.
Save your money guys. Focus on you more than anything else. Stay strong and don't fall victim to these psychics.

text: Write a program that determines the day of the week for a given date. You can invent your own complex algorithm that takes into account the special leap year rules, and changes in calendars, but this is a case where it makes sense to look for things that are familiar. Who else might need to compute values from dates over a wide span of time? Historians work with dates, but generally don�t compute from them. Astronomers, however, need to know the difference in time between orbital events in the solar system that span hundreds of years. Consulting an astronomy text, you will ?nd that there is a standard way of representing a date, called the Julian Day Number (JDN). This value is the number of days that have elapsed since January 1, 4713 b.c. Given the JDN for a date, there is a simple formula that tells the day of the week: ************************************************************************************************************************************************* DayOfWeek = (JDN + 1) % 7 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The result is in the range of 0 to 6, with 0 representing Sunday. The only remaining problem is how to compute the JDN, which is not so simple. The algorithm computes several intermediate results that are added together to give the JDN. We look at the computation of each of these three intermediate values in turn. If the date comes from the Gregorian calendar (later than October 15, 1582), then compute intRes1 with the following formula; otherwise, let intRes1 be zero. ************************************************************************************************************************************************* intRes1 = 2 - year / 100 + year / 400 (integer division) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The second intermediate result is computed as follows: intRes2 = int(365.25 * Year) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We compute the third intermediate value with this formula: intRes3 = int(30.6001 * (month + 1)) ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally the JDN is computed this way: JDN + intRes1 + intRes2 + intRes3 + day + 1720994.5 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your program should make appropriate use of value-returning functions in solving this problem. These formulas require nine significant digits; you may have to use the integer type long and the floating-point type double. Your problem should prompt the user appropriately for input of the date; it should also properly label the output. Usse proper coding style with comments to document the algorithm as needed.

Product Description
Le Havre is a game about managing a harbor, building ships and constructing buildings. On each turn, players must decide whether to take good of one type or to carry out a building action.
The number of goods on offer varies from turn to turn. New goods of each kind are added regularly, building up until a player takes them. Wood, clay and iron are building resources. Fish, grain and cattle are used to feed your dock workers. Actions in buildings allow goods to be upgraded -- just turn the tokens over to show the reverse side.
At the end of the game, the player with the largest fortune is the winner. This is the total of the player's cash and the value of his or her ships and buildings.
Le Havre can be played by 1-5 players, either in a shortened version or as a full game, ensuring that it provides the right level of challenge for any game table.

Average Rating: 4.5 in 2 reviews
Let me get the complaints about Le Havre out of the way first because these two things can hurt the game quickly.
1. The game has a LOT of small chits, bits, and cards that have to be strategically set up before the game begins. This is discouraging to new players who seem to translate the number of bits to be equivalent to the level of complexity. Best to have it set up before your gamers arrive to avoid that quick dismissal of it.
2. The game is honest in its play length which can go from about an hour for the "shortened" two-player game to well over 3 hours for a full-scale five-player game. It creates frustration if players give up before the end as much of the game is based on how well you play in the last rounds.
With those understood, be prepared for a surprisingly engaging game of resource management and advance planning. The theme works well as players are acquiring goods and converting them into marketable products which they can later ship out at great profit. To do this, you will need to acquire or use the services of many of the town's industries. The savvy player will have to manage their resources, their buildings, and their food production to make a profit. If it sounds like Agricola, it is probably because Uwe Rosenberg created both games. To me, though, it plays more like Stone Age. Although lack of food production can prove to be deadly, a player can win just as well by making wise choices in what he builds.
The real fun of the game comes from the planning it takes to, for example, gather enough iron, then take it to the Steel Mill to convert it into a more lucrative export, and then shipping it out for a profit. If you are lucky, all of that conversion will only take you three turns, but a lot can happen to block, and even the best laid plans are not as easy as they may seem.
The game gets more competitive as it proceeds and more buildings are added to the town. With more options, comes even more careful planning on the players' part which just makes the game even richer. Never give up before the last round as the final round truly does determine the real winner. With so many options, there are many shipping lanes to victory as well.
One bonus that should be mentioned is that the game has a solo player version as well. I found that playing the game a few times to get used to all the rules helped me move initially skeptical players through the game faster. It is definitely a game where the opinion at the end is much more positive than the initial response.
A game well worth hitch a ride on.
When I approached my game-playing friends about a new game from the fine designer, Uwe Rosenberg, they appeared a little skeptical. They had played Agricola in its original German version with English rules and were not too taken with the long rules. Still, I had persevered by playing a two-player game with the flushing out of mechanics prior to the five-player effort.
The game begins with the understanding of seven-player turns to complete each round. We decided to play the long game (with my urging) instead of the shortened version. That consisted of 20 rounds instead of 15. First, I explained each of the round tiles as a way to secure resources (products) and francs. We were each given five francs at the beginning and one coal (an energy resource) that can be converted to coke by later turning over the tile and having some kind of coke-converting plant. I explained how each of the seven round tiles usually represents two resources, such as wood and cattle. At the beginning of any turn you have two main actions:
- You take care of your supply action. That means turning over a large round tile that reveals resources or francs or both or, even, Interest.
- You, then, take the main action, including the buying and selling (not considered part of the main action).
The Main Action could consist of entering a building and, then, if unoccupied, paying the resources to build (construct) the structure. If occupied, the entrance fee must be paid to the owning player. Buildings, at the game's beginning, can only be purchased from the town and consist of three types: two building firms and one construction (to erect one or two buildings). Naturally, one of the players opted to purchase a building early in the game, and the rest of us paid one franc every time we visited that card to construct. It is important to remember that you can construct standard buildings (three building proposals always available) or special buildings. Special buildings come into play at certain times of the Feeding Phase conclusion. I warned all the players in explaining the initial rules to be sure to construct ships, even wooden ships, to ensure they had plentiful food during the final part of the Main Action, called the Feeding Phase. That phase occurs at the end of the seventh turning over of round tiles.
The Feeding Phase is crucial to the game. Cards are arranged in order of zero food to at least five food for the five-player game. The cards in the game tell whether the group is playing a two-, three-, four-, or five-player game and how to arrange the food issues. Mr. Rosenberg has cleverly labeled a black pot as the amount of food needed. Further, he has taken the player action card explanations and placed a "buttery" on the back to keep track of whether a player has enough food at the end of each round.
Food requirements can easily be solved if one possesses grain or cattle during any round. One grain makes two at the end of any seven player turns. One cattle or two makes another cattle at the end of the same kind of round. What the construction of ships do for you is allow the reduction of one or more food when the Feeding Phase occurs.
I watched in horror (because of limited resources) while one of my gaming friends accumulated a Fishery and a Smokehouse. That allowed him to "smoke" six fish as a maximum and keep his food production high. Further, during the game he accumulated at least seven cattle, so this individual was never in trouble with food costs.
Let's digress for a moment and talk about someone who cannot pay the food costs. Then, you have to take a loan. The loan gives you four francs (only if you need to pay food costs), and the loan needs to be repaid before the end of the game with five francs. The comments on the Internet suggest it is not wrong to take loans, especially if food costs are eating you out of house and home.
The game went smoothly for all the players, and I, finally, acquired a shipping line late in the game. However, we had already paid the supposed winning player dearly for the opportunity to construct buildings, secure bricks (from clay counters), and substitute one lumber for five francs. I had constructed a wooden ship (Iron, Steel, and Luxury Liners exists in the game); therefore, my food costs with one reduction were reasonable.
However, the name of that game is also Francs. You need francs to purchase buildings. That's why most of us were accumulating and paying resources to construct buildings. It is an Either/Or situation: You either build or purchase. That leads to a pertinent question that was not sufficiently answered during the spirited game:
Why would anyone purchase a building when you can construct the building with resources?
As the game progressed, we all noticed the now winning player had achieved at least 56 points. Little chance existed to catch him before the end of 20 rounds. We had 22, 16, and so forth in points. Therefore, we conceded the game with the individual who had five buildings and was charging us every time we needed to construct or achieve resources or francs.
All in all, the players said it was a worthwhile game. Even though I like Agricola, I think LeHavre achieves more interest. Perhaps, it is my penchant for economic and trading games. Anyhow, if you are prepared for an evening of beautifully designed rules and terrific trading/purchasing decisions to make, then Le Havre is your cup of tea.
Do, always, think about the food costs.

A group of volunteers is needed to help the Youghal4All committee clear up some waste and do a general tidy up of the quays and docks of the town. Everyone is invited to meet at the Mall beach on Thursday 12th at 7 p.m. where depending on numbers the cleanup will begin. This area is vitally important to the town as so many visitors arrive in our town to this point. Though the area is generally clean it needs to be pristine and we all know how a few big tides like we had this week can bring in rubbish. The more who turn out the quicker the job will be but usually about an hour sees the designated area back to ship shape. So come on out and give your town that hour!!
Please feel free to contact any of the committee with comments, suggestions or queries.

My friend Gary
By now, those who followed Gary Welsh's blog Advance Indiana, or were his legal clients or his friends, know that he has died. The tragedy is that he apparently took his own life.
Indianapolis Business Journal reported Sunday early evening that the 53-year-old Republican lawyer was found at the bottom of the stairwell at the Lockerbie Glove Factory Lofts at 430 N. Park, before 8 a.m. Sunday.
Media and friends have speculated on the possible source of his depression. IBJ has updated its story to include information that an attorney colleague who worked across the hall from Welsh Downtown noted that Gary was down because his blog took a lot of work yet generated little income. Another friend, Paul K. Ogden on Facebook, wrote that Welsh was troubled by "professional challenges" in his law career.
Ogden says it is a not uncommon phenomenon among attorneys. "You reach a point in your legal career where your experiences and abilities are of no value to law firms which are only interested in older attorneys if they are rainmakers, people (who) can bring business with them to the firm."
Yet when one reads Welsh's own Facebook bio, he was a firecracker: he graduated magna cum laude from the Indiana University Indianapolis School of Law, he had a prominent job in Illinois GOP politics early on, he was a lobbyist with a major law firm in Indy, and he was active in his Lockerbie Glove Factory Lofts homeowners association.
I knew Gary as a tenacious blogger, willing to take calculated aim at both Republicans and Democrats -- I always suspected that his early disappointment in the Ballard administration, and perhaps the fact that he did not land a job with that administration, was a blow, yet he was incapable of calling it other than how he saw it (he became a tireless critic of Greg Ballard and Co., calling him "the most corrupt mayor" the city ever had.) Like many bloggers and journalists who write opinion, he alternated between keen insight and blunderbuss. His weak spot was conspiracy theories, but, like other mavericks, he almost never failed to entertain and often enlighten his readers.
I also knew Gary as a friend, and I am proud to call him that. By friend, I mean he was a journalist of whom I could ask hard questions, and he would answer honestly. He often knew the underpinnings of the city in a way few bloggers/columnists do anymore. He never minced words. He was foreceful, blunt and a ferociously hard worker.
It has been noted that Indianapolis is not especially kind to its iconoclasts. As a city, we are "nice," we are full to the brim with "Hoosier hospitality," and we don't always take kindly to angry prophets, stone-throwers, and outliers. Well, maybe if they are artsy. But Gary was often up to his eyeballs with "Hoosier hostility" -- but he always had a clear-cut reason for what he believed. Sometimes, maybe, others thought his reasons were nutty, but there they were. And when he was good, he was very, very good.
Others have noted that it's sad we recently lost Amos Brown of the Recorder and WTLC-AM radio to a heart attack; Amos also did not suffer fools. Gary is cut from the same bold cloth, and so he will be missed. He is already missed, and may he rest in peace.
Angie's List takes a hit
Home-grown consumer-review website Angie's List has lost a court fight to prevent three formerly employed top sales people from going to work for the competition, Home Advisor, which now has offices in Indianapolis and is based in Colorado.
Depending on your perspective, it sounds as if Angie is playing hard ball -- or is in desperation mode, trying to beat back Home Advisor, which has received job applications from more than 200 Angie's List employees.
The bigger picture is that Home Advisor has tried to acquire Angie's List in a merger in the past. Home Advisor, called "an Internet behemoth" in Indianapolis Business Journal last November, tried to buy AL for $512 million, but the offer was rejected.
Then, last winter, three top AL salespeople jumped ship for Home Advisor, and ended up being sued by Angie's List.
Not a smart legal move on Angie's part.
The sales people --- and counsel Kathleen DeLaney -- prevailed in Hamilton Superior Court Friday, when a judge rejected Angie's List's request for a court order to stop the three from working at Home Advisor.
"The court found that "'Angie's List is not likely to succeed on the merits of its claims...that Angie's List has not established that it will suffer irreparable harm," and that....the public interest favored the former employees, and not Angie's List,'" says a statement from DeLaney & DeLaney LLC., quoting the court ruling.
I can't imagine what counsel for AL was thinking, since the three employees had not even signed non-compete agreements, which generally have a tough time standing up to a court test anyhow.
Again, the bigger picture: readers of this blog may care about this news because many former Indianapolis Newspaper Inc. people (Indy Star and Indy News) have found a soft landing at Angie's List.
But then, as Forbes pointed out three years ago, the Angie's List model is broken. Who needs to pay for a site that provides consumer information which is readily available for free on Yelp, etc.?
Furthermore, argued Forbes, Angie's List, by following a tired template, is playing its investors for fools. The ultimate insult: the more a business pays in advertising revenue to Angie's List, the higher its ratings, according to Forbes.
Full disclosure: I am an Angie's List subscriber.
But then I subscribe to Indy Star, too. Nothing wrong with loyalty. Up to a point.
Angie's List was, at the very least, heavy handed in its efforts to block three top-notch sales persons from earning a living. From here, it looks like desperation and not smart play.
You can read more about this story in Indianapolis Business Journal.
Where's the story?
Tim Evans, my friend and former colleague at the Indianapolis Star, had a wonderful run with a series of human interest stories on "the Broom Guy," Jim Richter, a 78-year-old blind man who got chased away from selling his trademark brooms at post office stations on the Northside.
To paraphrase Bill Murray in the movie "Ghostbusters," ("Nobody steps on a church in my town,") -- "Nobody screws with the Broom Guy in Indy." OK, the Northside, but what the heck.
As stories go, the "Broom Guy" saga (8 articles, by my count, plus a letter to the editor), has all the elements we love: little guy vs. big, bad government, the justified outrage of readers, who supported Richter by rushing to his various street corner locations to buy his brooms, the intervention of several political power brokers on behalf of Richter, and the final triumph: the return of Richter to the post offices, after the authories backed off and acknowledged they were overzealous.
I know I am perverse, but I personally relished the part of this news cycle when, pretty early on, Evans revealed that the postal service's action was based on alleged complaints from patrons that Richter cussed at them. Richter denied that, although he allowed that he does sometimes use "coarse language". But he's deeply spiritual, a Baptist. Welcome to Indiana, everyone. (And the cussing 'thing' was discounted ultimately, when attorney Gordon Durnil and Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma said they seriously doubted that it was true; they know the Broom Guy and he represents an excellent work ethic, salt of the earth, etc.)
Nonetheless, the cussing angle was an especially vivid touch because typically, reporters are faced with having to keep "the best part" or "the juicy part," out of print or broadcast for fear of offending someone, or worse. Evans kept it real, and that's why we all related.
On the other side of the print street, the Indianapolis Business Journal's John Russell (formerly an investigative reporter at the Star) had a great scoop with the news that a leading transplant surgeon is bagging his job at Indiana University Health and taking his skills to University of Alabama.
Dr. Joseph Tector blasted IU Health, as quoted by Russell: the IU system wants its doctors "to function as robots" and merely chase profits, putting money ahead of research and science.
Russell wrote: "Tector said he decided to leave IU Health after concluding the institution had changed its focus from one of pre-eminence to one of control and profit.'"
That's a powerful charge, and if true, it confirms anecdotal evidence, and some reporting in the past, that IU Health is in a cycle of failing in its caregiver mission. Or, at least, that something is radically wrong.
Both important stories, both delivered by top-notch reporters. Apples and organges? Sure. Or more like cherries and cheese.
As for the reporting with the potential for the most impact for our city, I'll be looking for follow-ups on the IU Health crisis. Based on what I've read and heard, "crisis" at IU Health is not too strong a word. But maybe I'm wrong. Prove it.
Incidentally, Russell is on the medical news beat at IBJ. The stellar J.K. Wall, who had that job for several years, has moved to Eli Lilly in communcations.
Final thought: Nothing beats the newspaper model, fragile tho it may be, for solid, important, interesting information.
The Star's numbers...going down
Karen Ferguson Fuson, publisher of the Indianapolis Star, as well as other Gannett products, is to be credited for her transperency with staff re: the continual struggle to not lose more readers/subscribers.
The Star, like other newspapers, targets three audiences: old-school delivery subscriptions; desktop readers; and mobile app readers.
It's no news flash that print readers are bailing, but the numbers are shocking.
Ferguson Fuson sends out a "Happy Monday!" email to staff each week. It's mostly in-house rah-rah stuff, but at the end is where the action is. The heading is: "Below are our weekly indicators that show our performance against key leading indicators of our business."
For the week of May 11, Ferguson's (not yet Fuson) email noted "PERMANENT STOPS: 1,805. (Stops were above budget by 2.8 percent toward the 2015 stop goal of 64,000."
For the week of May 18, Ferguson noted, "PERMANENT STOPS: 919 (Stops were below budget by 5.3 percent towrd the 2015 stop goal of 64,000."
June 22's email records, "PERMANENT STOPS: 1,023 (Stops were above budget by 8 percent toward the 2015 stop goal of 64,000)."
Assuming we are reading this correctly -- and I am getting assistance -- this means that on the weeks cited, the Star lost 1,805 readers/subscribers in one week, 919 another, and 1,023 in another. Permanent stops has always meant just as it sounds: a subscriber calls the paper and tells them to stop delivery. Permanently.
It also appears the Star is projecting a total loss of 64,000 readers in 2015. That is an amazing hemorrhage.
Now, whether some of those readers will be drawn back with various offers is open to question, but it seems doubtful. The newspaper habit is not one the majority of Americans have any longer.
However, the folks at Gannett are in there pitching: one strategy is to offer a discount for readers who live in a less-than zip code; more affluent readers, based on zip code, pay more.
But it's a losing game.
A colleague speculates that, starting in 2016, the Star will produce a print newspaper for delivery three days a week. I would guess Friday, Saturday and Sunday, or Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Eventually the Star will provide a print paper only on Sunday.
Believe it.
Meanwhile, desktop views and mobile views are a mixed bag. In the June 22 email, mobile views were 2,574,154, down 29 percent from the previous week.
However, mobile views spiked a bit to 3,030,230 for the week of May 18, a gain of 12 percent with overall gain of 45 perdent yoy (year over year), which is positive.
Desktop views seem to be similiarly jumpy -- up one week by 14 percent, down earlier by 13 percent.
We all know the future is online. The question is: can Gannett figure out how to draw and maintain those readers?
The issue, again, is that the paper no longer has a big enough staff (or committed editors) to feed the monster. The web page should be continuously updated, especially during the hours of 7-10 p.m. when mobile usage is at its peak.
But when Gannett chooses to produce a newspaper with a skeleton staff, it's hard to get fresh stories and updates.
Spiral mindf--k.
Keeping the Indy Star mediocre
The problem at the Indianapolis Star is not with the reporting staff, stretched thin tho it is.
It's a top-down issue: executive editor Jeff Taylor is not a newspaperman, in heart, mind or spirit. Thus his expectations for producing news stories are low, and the staff knows it.
During the last reorganization, most reporters at the paper were deemed projects or investigative reporters. Nobody is a general assignment reporter anymore, altho there is a small breaking news team which concentrates on police and crime.
No wonder the paper seems thin when it comes to breaking, hard news.
Here's an anecdote that illustrates the source of the problem.
Gannett likes to play games, and one game at the old building (307 N. Penn) was to gather staff together with the five or six leadership team members on display, perched on chairs on a stage. Staff members were fed a sentence or two about a team leader, then got to guess which person it applied to. Can you imagine this happening in a real newsroom?
Here was one hint: 'His professor in college tried to dissuade him from going into news, telling him instead he should pursue a career in public relations, because he just did not have what it takes to be a newsman.'
No surprise. The mystery man with the bent to PR is Taylor. God help us that anyone in management found this amusing enough to share with reporters. But then, truth to power.
No surprise that Taylor does not expect much from anyone, including Alvie Lindsay, a leadership team dude who is responsible for investigative projects and business reporting (however, with only one biz reporter left, as noted in yesterday's blog post, there's precious little to direct).
The newsroom atmosphere is so sluggish -- and morale is so low among reporters -- that a recent news story was slugged "Another lame weather story."
Meanwhile, the numbers continue to slide for Gannett, both in print/paper readers and digital hints. More on that in an upcoming post, thanks to emails from publisher Karen Crotchfelt Ferguson Fuson. At least, someone at IndyStar got what she wanted (a new husband, again).

Sorry if that title is unclear.
What I would like to do is make a page or post (preferably former) where I can provide readers with blog buttons/graphics that they can put on their blogs.
I'd like to make it easy for them to place these on their blogs by providing a little window with the html so they can copy it directly into their sidebar menus.
Of course, we see this *all* over the Web, but I have been unable to figure out how to accomplish this on a WordPress page or post.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
