SAN JOSE -- San Jose will become one of the largest cities in the nation to ban plastic foam food containers when a law the City Council passed Tuesday takes effect next year.
The council voted 9-2 to approve an ordinance that would ban the foam containers starting in January for large multistate restaurant chains and extend to small neighborhood eateries and other businesses a year later.
The plastic foam -- technically expanded polystyrene, or EPS -- is popularly known as Styrofoam. However, Dow Chemical Co., which trademarked that name, says it doesn't manufacture food containers.
San Jose is one of the largest among dozens of cities and counties including 70 in California that have approved bans and restrictions on the foam containers, which environmentalists say become more persistent and pervasive pollutants that harm wildlife than other packaging material that breaks down more easily.
"All litter is not equal," Councilwoman Rose Herrera said. "Polystyrene is a big offender. That's why we're taking aim at it. I'm very proud of us for taking the lead."
Councilmen Pete Constant and Johnny Khamis were opposed, siding with restaurant groups and foam container makers who argued the ban was an unnecessary burden on businesses.
Khamis was troubled that the city seems to be on a tear to forbid all kinds of things, from plastic bags and now foam containers to talk of banning menthol cigarettes and even soda pop at city properties. He said the city instead should try "to get out of the way of business" it says it wants to attract.
"We're going to become Ban Jose instead of San Jose," Khamis said.
Laws approved elsewhere range from limited restrictions such as Los Angeles County's applying to government facilities to full retail bans like those in Los Altos Hills, Fremont, Oakland, San Francisco and now San Jose.
Critics argued the foam material can be recycled and is collected in some 65 California communities. But city officials said the collected material often ends up in landfills because there's little market for the used and soiled plastic foam. City officials said as more cities ban plastic foam, costs for environmentally friendlier alternatives will drop.
"As we all embrace this," Herrera said, "the cost will come down."

Greta Gerwig talks 'Lola Versus,' HBO's abandoned 'Corrections'
If you pay attention to indie films then you already know who Greta Gerwig is, and you probably like her quite a bit. That's exactly what Fox Searchlight is counting on with the release of her new comedy "Lola Versus."
After a string of indies small ("Hannah Takes the Stairs," "Baghead") and not so small ("Greenberg," "Damsels in Distress"), Gerwig pretty much carries "Lola Versus" on her shoulders. The supporting cast includes actors known for TV work -- Zoe Lister-Jones ("Whitney"), Joel Kinnaman ("The Killing") and Hamish Linklater ("The New Adventures of Old Christine") -- and brief appearances by Debra Winger and Bill Pullman as Gerwig's parents. But it's Gerwig who is front and center for the ad campaign and in the movie.
I spoke with Gerwig about the challenges of being a leading lady, why "Lola Versus" can't really be called a romantic comedy, and what happened to the promising HBO pilot "The Corrections," an adaptation of Jonathan Franzen's prize-winning novel directed by Noah Baumbach that would have featured Gerwig alongside Ewan McGregor, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper and Dianne Wiest.
"Lola Versus" opens in limited release June 8

Bridge to Terabithia
by Katherine Paterson
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
None of the characters in the book are very religious, but some of them still attend church. Leslie's family doesn't go at all, and Jess's only makes it there once a year. For the Aarons family, church seems to be as much about presenting a good front to the community as it is about actually believing. We hear about belief systems from the very young May Belle, who insists to Leslie that without a belief in the Bible, "God'll damn you to hell when you die" (8.72). Leslie, with her imaginative, secular mindset, disagrees. This is one of the things that worries Jess when Leslie dies, and his father reassures him: "God ain't gonna send any little girls to hell" (12.34). Yet some people see these ideas as "anti-religious sentiments" instead of comforting ideas (source). For more on how the topic of religion is touched on in potential censorship, this website and Shmoop's "Intro."

text: I want to dabble in making sweaters/apparel this summer but I absolutely loathe seaming. I am just not any good at it. I've been thinking about investing in a sewing machine to solve this problem but I don't know how to use one so I would also have to learn how to do that. What my question is, is if I should go through the trouble of buying and learning how to use a sewing machine or if I should just suck it up and learn how to do the seaming techniques? Those of you who make sweaters and such, do you own sewing machines? Are they easier to use than to manually seam up the sides?

Hello Community,
we bought a DELL PE 2950 with Storage Server 2003 R2, Standard Edition x64
to be used as file storage for WSUS 3 and SQL Server 2005.
When installing WSUS on another server I noticed that it only accepts local
disks and after searching the web for solutions I found an article which
states that iSCSI will help - unfortunately only with a Linux solution as
I searched again for MS solutions finding SAN, iSCSI, Targets etc., but I am
very new to SAN technology and so understood to little.
The server has a hardware RAID5 with initially one basic disk which consists
of 63 MB DELL diagnostic partion, 12 GB primary partition (C:) and several
hundred GBs primary partition (D:).
While my attempts I converted the basic disc to a dynamic one with the DELL
partition and now a 12 GB simple volume for the OS (C:) and remaining space
Can someone here help with a quick "how to" use my Storage Server as as SAN
with iSCSI or can provide me with a set of links?
Any help will be greatly appreciated because we have to use this machine and
I found infos at MS saying that (complete) installation of WSUS and SQL
server on Storage Server isn't supported.
So, is it possible to use that server as an iSCSI-Target for WSUS and SQL?

Ernie Barnes - Artiste
You might know Ernie Barnes from Sports Illustrated, or from a Marvin Gaye album cover. He has a powerful 9/11 painting. This past February he was named "America's Best Painter of Sports" by the Board of Trustees of the American Sport Art Museum.
Group of Seven
The Group of Seven. Arguably Canada's most important artists, the Group of Seven "popularized the concept of an art founded on the Canadian landscape, gave many Canadians a sense of national identity and enabled them to discover the beauty of their own country." Peruse an art gallery and marvel at the beauty they portrayed. (Mangled quote from the Tom Thomson Memorial Art Gallery) Equally important was Emily Carr. While her style was similar to that of the Group of Seven, her interest in First Nations became her trademark. Some of her paintings.

I noted on Tuesday that Fredrik Dahl of Reuters dutifully transcribed accusations from anonymous "Western diplomats" to report that satellite images (which David Albright finally published yesterday–I'm so happy we get to see those dirt pile photos!) revealed that Iran had brought fill dirt to the Parchin site where there have been accusations that Iran may have carried out work on developing an explosive trigger for a nuclear weapon. That post had barely been up for an hour or two when George Jahn unleashed a spectacularly bad graph purporting to show Iranian calculations on nuclear bomb yields. Glenn Greenwald did a terrific debunking of the graph yesterday, showing, among other things, how profoundly wrong the science in the graph was. I had noted back in September, when Jahn first started hinting at what turned out to be his beloved graph, that this particular accusation first came to light in the November, 2011 IAEA report. Jahn and those who are feeding him his "exclusives" sat on this graph for a year before releasing it, presumably because it is so craptastically ridiculous that it could not be made public until the laughter over Bibi's bomb cartoon and the pink tarps had died down.
The timing of this nearly simultaneous flinging of poo by Dahl and Jahn is explained by the fact that the IAEA is meeting now to discuss the most recent report on Iran's nuclear activities. The US is using this meeting to roll out a new bit of "leverage" against Iran, stating that if Iran does not comply with IAEA requests by the time of the next IAEA report in March, the US will request that the IAEA refer Iran to the UN Security Council for its intransigence. Aside from how hypocritical this announcement looks, coming within just a few hours of the US condemning the UN for allowing Palestine to achieve non-member observer status, it also appears that Iran knew this ploy was coming. Today we see a report from Mehr News noting that Iran has reported the US to the UN for violating Iranian airspace at least eight times during October.
Lost in all of this noise is the fact that for all the posturing over Iran's 20% enriched uranium being "close" to weapons grade, Iran continues to divert significant amounts of the 20% enriched material into fuel plates for the Tehran reactor where the uranium has become chemically incapable of further enrichment to weapons grade. From David Albright's summary of the most recent IAEA report (pdf), we see that Iran has produced 232.8 kg of 20% enriched uranium but has diverted 95.5 kg, or 41%, of this to fuel plates. Back in August, Moon of Alabama explained the significance of the chemical changes that take place when fuel plates are produced [emphasis in original]: Continue reading
It seemed that David Albright and his Institute for Science and International Security had reached a new low when on August 24 they wowed the world with their analytical powers by explaining to us the meaning of Iran draping buildings at the disputed Parchin military site with pink tarpaulins. Yesterday, Albright and associates did their best to keep the Pink Panic at Parchin going, as they breathlessly revealed that Iran is now actually REMOVING THE TARPS!
As I have maintained all along, if Iran has carried out work at this site to develop a neutron trigger based on high explosives, as they have been accused, then the steel chamber in which the work was carried out is quite likely to have been rendered radioactive through the process of neutron activation and no amount of cleaning the chamber or the surrounding building or surrounding soil can hide that. That means that the tarps themselves (along with the earlier soil-moving exercises) have been a feint to give Albright and the press something to chase while those who favor an attack on Iran continue to agitate for "action". We see from the most recent photos that the building in which the explosives chamber is believed to be housed still stands after the tarp has been removed from its roof. Should inspectors gain access to the site, their primary objective remains unchanged from pre-tarp days. They first need to determine if the chamber is still inside the building. If the chamber is still present, they need to examine it for evidence of neutron activation or any other radioactive contamination arising from the research the Iranians have been accused of carrying out.
Breathlessly calling today's story an "AP Exclusive", George Jahn sticks to his usual routine of depending on "diplomats" to leak information on Iran and then using David Albright to cast the information in a way calculated to make it look as though Iran has made new, major breakthroughs in efforts to develop a nuclear weapon. Today's effort is more transparent than a pink tarp, with Jahn's article itself finally getting around to noting that everything claimed to be an "exclusive" in the article was already noted in IAEA's November, 2011 report.
Jahn's opening:
The U.N. atomic agency has received new intelligence that Iran has moved further toward the ability to build a nuclear weapon by advancing its work on calculating the destructive power of an atomic warhead, diplomats tell The Associated Press.
And then, of course, we need Albright to add just the right spin:
"You want to have a theoretical understanding of the working of a nuclear weapon that is then related to the experiments you do on the various components," said David Albright, whose Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security is a frequent go-to source on Iran for Congress and other U.S. government branches. "The two go hand-in-hand."
Such computer mock-ups typically assess how high explosives compress fissile warhead material, setting off the chain reaction that results in a nuclear explosion. The yield is normally calculated in kilotons.
Now that we have been properly scared into believing there is new and damning evidence against Iran, let's see what Jahn finds when he goes back to the November, 2011 IAEA report:
The IAEA first outlined suspicions in November that Iran was working on calculating the yield of a nuclear weapon, as part of a 13-page summary of Iran's suspected nuclear weapons work that it said was based on more than 1,000 pages of research and intelligence from more than 10 member nations.
It said then that "the modeling studies alleged to have been conducted in 2008 and 2009 by Iran … (are) of particular concern," adding that the purpose of such studies for calculating anything other than nuclear explosion yields is "unclear to the agency."
Albright, of the Institute for Science and International Security, said such computer-run modeling is "critical to the development of a nuclear weapon."
So Jahn admits that this "new" information is basically just a re-run of what was stated in November by the IAEA. I guess Jahn and his handlers decided that not enough attention had been paid to this particular nugget of information, and so a new "exclusive" was needed in order to focus more attention on it. That is a very brave move after being punked so badly by the pink tarps.
At least Jahn got one sentence correct:
Any new evidence of Iranian research into nuclear weapons is likely to strengthen the hand of hawks in Israel who advocate a military strike on Iran.
Next week, perhaps Jahn and Albright can provide analysis of all Google searches from Iran on "nuclear weapons". I'm sure Jahn's "diplomat" friends can provide those for us.

This game requires imagination and memory, but is easily tailored to the age of each child. For example, the rules call for each child to take the number of cards equal to their age plus one, so my 6-year-old uses 7 cards while my 3-year-old uses 4 cards. The game features Kevin Henkes's charming Lilly characters so if your kids have read 'Julius, the Baby of the World', or any of the other Lilly books, they will recognize the pictures on the cards. I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist, as well, and I've had good success with this game with language-impaired children, too. Really a great game.

The Downtowning Of Uptown
By Deborah Solomon
Published: August 19, 2001
As he so often does, David Hammons is sitting on a bench in Harlem, watching the passers-by. It is after 10 on a summer night, and the sidewalks are nearly empty. By day, 125th Street is a rock opera of sorts -- throngs of shoppers pick through bargain-price clothing as rap music blares -- but now the storefronts are dark, metal grates pulled down over their windows.
Hammons glances across the street at the Studio Museum in Harlem, whose green-glass facade makes it look like an office building. ''I want to sit facing the museum,'' he says in an amused voice. ''I don't want to criticize the museum behind its back.''
As it so happens, Harlem has been undergoing an art-world invasion in the past few years. The arrival of artists and their ilk might seem to be a purely positive development, although Hammons, who moved here in the 70's, sees it like this: ''Harlem is under attack. White folks want it back.'' At 58, he himself is an art-world figure, an acclaimed sculptor who has created strange and lyrical works from plastic milk crates, barbershop hair, greasy paper bags, chicken bones and other detritus he considers emblematic of the American ghetto. During a blizzard, he once stood on a corner selling snowballs. They sold out.
Hammons is famously elusive, so I was surprised when one day I picked up my phone and heard a voice whisper, ''Do you know whose birthday it is?''
A two-beat pause. ''It's Che's birthday. Let's go out and smoke some Cuban cigars.''
Some Communist. In May, a sculpture by Hammons -- a wry, jarring piece in which a basketball hoop hangs from an ornate, Rococo-style backboard as if to suggest the unreachable goals of the urban black male -- brought $409,500 at auction.
Hammons is a slight, sardonic man with perfect posture and the wayward charm of a contrarian. As he sits on the bench on this summer night, he instructs me in the fine art of observing pedestrians, or what he calls ''reading the signs and symbols of the street.'' He insists there is more vitality on 125th Street than in any American art museum, where, he says, ''there's nothing to look at. It's all dead. It's the grateful dead.''
A teenage girl saunters by holding a big python. ''When you carry anything exotic, people will look at you,'' Hammons says. ''These people are dying for attention.''
A young man appears with an African drum. ''That's the first fax machine,'' Hammons says.
A white jogger dressed in white whizzes by at a fast clip.
''He's probably an artist who heard about a place for rent,'' Hammons says, laughing ruefully.
The fashion forecasters in the art world are already posing the inevitable question: Will Harlem be the next SoHo or Chelsea? Money that migrated out of Harlem when the middle class departed to the suburbs in the 40's is beginning to migrate back, and cultural momentum has never felt as concentrated as it does right now. Artists of various races are staking out studio space, and there are enough hip galleries to attract visits from Park Avenue collectors in chauffeured cars. Bill Clinton, perhaps the most popular tenant on 125th Street, will borrow pictures for his office from the Studio Museum, which just came under the leadership of Lowery Stokes Sims and Thelma Golden, the two best-known black curators in the country.
Much else is in the works. Ask around, and you learn of ambitious projects that have yet to be publicly announced. Columbia University is drafting plans for an off-campus, open-to-the-public arts complex on 125th Street, west of Broadway. And the Museum for African Art, now in SoHo, expects to break ground next year on a blocklong building at 110th Street and Fifth Avenue, otherwise known as Duke Ellington Circle. Its planners speak of projected budgets -- of a ''$40 million building'' or a ''$50 million building'' -- as if a high price tag were roughly tantamount to the Palladian style or the Classical style as a mark of architectural distinction.
The art boom in Harlem is, of course, part of something larger. A general revival of housing stock is leading middle-class settlers to buy up 19th-century brownstones and restore them to Old World splendor. On 125th Street, the chief artery of black Harlem, the recent arrival of a Starbucks, a Disney store and the Harlem U.S.A. mall, a frosty glass box, represents what the marketing people like to call a business ''flowering.'' Yet, in some ways, the art settlers may be more socially significant than the chain stores: art is the gilded arrow of capitalism, promising to turn vacant lots into gold.
The truth is that a few good galleries can help a neighborhood in ways that 40 years' worth of poverty programs cannot. The middle class wants to live near art, open stores near art. The search for affordable studio space by American artists that began a century ago in Greenwich Village has proved that where art goes, money follows, and the ending is always the same: the neighborhood booms and the artists go bust, driven out by skyrocketing rents and their own restlessness, their desire for Something New.

SIKESTON -- People like to know what's going on in their community. And they like to have the details as soon as possible.
This local, instantaneous news is what has made Sikeston InfoLink a popular desktop information over the past two and a half years. Since its inception in July 2004, over 1,000 users have subscribed to the free service, which connects PC users to commonly used informational sites.
"I think the best thing is the access to the radar and also being connected directly with the city government as far as any emergencies or other information," said Kris Greene, information technology technician and Webmaster for the City of Sikeston.
The desktop alert application provides current temperature and other weather conditions, notification of local public safety alerts, road and school closings, Missouri AMBER alerts, the current Homeland Security level and links to city of Sikeston meetings and other Web sites. It can run fully open on the desktop or as a minimized application.
Users are alerted of updates by a siren sound on their computer; and news is also transmitted by "crawls" on the bottom of their screens, "alerting citizens of gas leaks, water leaks, major accidents, school closings and local AMBER alerts," Greene said.
Information can also be personalized to one's address and a crawl can be sent only to a specific ward or area of town, Greene added.
Weather conditions can be checked from a user's pick of several different sites, including Cape Girardeau, Poplar Bluff, Carbondale, Ill., Marion, Ky., and Paducah, Ky., said Doug Shaw, information systems administrator. "They're all approved weather stations," he said.
He and others are working to provide another choice -- from a Sikeston site. Shaw said BMU is planning to put in a new station at one of the existing BMU facilities. "That way we can pull all of our current weather conditions off of our own weather station," he said.
One of the best aspects of InfoLink is one that goes mostly unseen -- a database on the Department of Public Safety's servers with pictures and statistics on children Greene obtains at the YMCA's Health Days. "Should a child be abducted or lost, we can issue a local AMBER alert," she said.
The program is the result of a partnership between the city and the Sikeston Board of Municipal Utilities. It's implementation came about at Greene's suggestion.
The company is adding more features, including video capabilities, which Greene said will later be available here in Sikeston.
For more information or to subscribe to InfoLink, go to www.sikeston.org.

The Marine Corps spent $2 million testing an idea cooked up by a Pennsylvania dentist: tiny bats to scatter bombs across Japan
On December 7, 1941, a Pennsylvania dentist named Lytle S. Adams was on vacation in the southwest at the famed Carlsbad Caverns, home to excellent spelunking and about a million bats. Adams had been particularly impressed with the bats during his time in New Mexico. So when he turned on the radio that infamous day and heard the news that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor, he began plotting a very unusual form of revenge on our World War II enemies.

Cork may now be heading for a transitional period after making too many wrong calls last Sunday.
Counihan added, "I felt we were taking the wrong options, and if you get excited you tend to take the wrong options.
"To keep the game alive you have to keep your head, and maybe at times we didn't pick great options.
"Look, I think used the ball better when they got it to be fair to them, and I think that was the key issue."
Brogan Fit
Dublin have received a major boost ahead of Sunday's All-Ireland football semifinal against Mayo with confirmation that star forward Alan Brogan will be fit for the big game.
Brogan has been receiving intense treatment on the injury that kept him out of the quarterfinal win over Laois but manager Pat Gilroy expects him to be fit for Sunday.
Gilroy said, "He's done a lot of work so far, a lot of running and he is looking in good shape for the Mayo game.
"We thought he would be okay for Laois, but it has taken more time that we expected, it's only the middle of last week that he started playing internal games.
"I would be fairly confident he would play but other lads have been performing well also. So we will see."
Gilroy insists Dublin have worked hard in training to rectify the faults so evident in their lackadaisical win over Laois.
He added, "We have done some things different and there has been a lot of work since the last game. We went to Kerry for a few days and we have also had some very competitive internal games."
Mayo report no injury worries ahead of the big game.
Galway Ready
Galway star Joe Canning insists his team will concentrate on their own strengths when they look to beat Kilkenny in the All-Ireland hurling final on Sunday, September 8.
Canning, who starred in the Leinster final win over the Cats, said, "They have so many players that they didn't even bring off the subs' bench that you can't try and take them out of the game. You have to do your own thing and, hopefully, that will work.
"We'll have our tactics and they'll have theirs and I don't think it's going to change much from any other game. Obviously, they'll want to implement theirs on us, and likewise with ours on them. It's whatever team gets the breaks then and the bit of luck that will win.
"But this thing about trying to counteract Kilkenny, I don't believe in it. We have to concentrate on ourselves. Bring our style of play to the game and hopefully that will be good enough."

Dress shopping can be an incredibly daunting task. So, When I saw the Kaori Infinity Dress on the IGIGI website, I knew it had to be mine. Thing is, I've got a thing for convertible dresses: why buy one dress when you can buy one that turns into 15?!
In person the dress was even better than I had anticipated! It's made of an awesome slinky, jersey materials that creates a sexy and slimming silhouette. The dress actually has two arms, but when you tuck one of them inside, it creates a one-shoulder number with a nice side ruching detail. With all of the swimming I've been doing, I went for the one-arm look so I could show off my shoulder sculpting as much as I could ;) I also decided to belt mine to add more shape to the waist as well.
The website boasts that the dress can be worn in 11 different styles, but I actually know it's a bit more than that….
I had the chance to sit on the panel next to Yuliya Raquel, the designer behind IGIGI and immediately began gushing about how much I loved the dress and how I couldn't wait to work it into different styles. Right on the spot, she clued me into how I could wear it in almost every way imaginable, ranging from a halter dress to a maxi skirt. It really makes me think that sky's the limit on this LBD!
Flattering, flirty, and fun—this dress is definitely a keeper and I can't wait to have infinite fun in styling this dress!

Hobo you summarize the changes in this company since last year as "we have a new figure head". I don't know whether you are trying to be funny or just are not aware of the changes that have taken place since the big run-up following the Pellegrino report.
A total of 16 changes have occurred in management and the board since April last year.
A lot of options got exercised to us unsuspecting shareholders. Many hundreds of thousands of cheap shares were sold by insiders as they headed for the exit signs but also a lot of shares were sold by the few that remained and no screamed louder at the company than me for these activities. Sheldon Inwentash sold millions as he reduced his exposure.
A lot of directors have changed the COO the Executive Chair. Like I mentioned a total 16 changes have been made to management and the board since the run-up. Mark Benadiba was appointed to the Executive Chair or what you called the figure head position on June 11. How much insider selling has taken place since then? Zero. Sheldan Inwentash is back on side with only buying and no selling.
As far as I can tell since the shakeup there has been not one thing we can fault the new management for. We have in fact been updated on the solar deal. We are waiting on a POET update which they have given a time frame to anyone that asked. One to two weeks and they will be issuing a news release providing an update on the progress they have made with POET and whatever else they can share. Then we will know why Lee Shepherd was hired at this time and why Taylor's team have been awarded a very significant number of options with a 1 year hold period.
Yes Hobo that is good way to sum up the changes… "we have a new figure head."

Cleaning your makeup brushes
According to Cosmopolitan, small things count when it comes to taking care of your skin. For instance, making sure to clean your makeup brush every month can help keep your skin looking fabulous.
The experts at Cosmopolitan Magazine recommend using a special kind of soap or a drop of baby shampoo. They discourage using hand soap because the detergents are harsh and can strip the brush.

Nemisz looking to establish his role this season
CALGARY, AB -- Greg Nemisz is at a crossroads in his professional career.
During his days in the OHL with the Windsor Spitfires, he played a top-six role and racked up 248 points (115 goals, 133 assists) through 246 games in four seasons. He helped the Spits win back-to-back Memorial Cups and suited up for Canada in the 2010 IIHF World Junior Championship, winning a silver medal in the tournament.
His efforts led to him being drafted by the Flames in the first round of the 2008 NHL Draft and hopes were high that he would be able to make a quick transition once his pro career started.
While he's settled into a scoring role with Abbotsford over the last couple of years, the offence hasn't come as effortlessly as it did during his junior days. In the 2010-11 campaign, Nemisz played 68 games with the Heat and posted 14 goals and 33 points. He made his NHL debut that season, playing six games with the Flames and recording his first NHL point during that stint, an assist in a 6-1 win over Edmonton on Apr. 6, 2011.
He dressed for 51 games with Abbotsford in 2011-12, amassing 13 goals and 29 points. His improved play in all three zones earned praise from both the Abbotsford coaching staff and Flames brass and the Courtice, ON product ended up playing nine games for Calgary.
He was sidelined for the first two months of the 2012-13 season with a lower body injury and made his debut on Nov. 30 in a tilt with the Hamilton Bulldogs. Given he went close to eight months without playing a game, he has spent his first seven games of the year getting back into the swing of things but there is no doubt he wants to shake off that rink rust as quickly as possible given what this season means to him.
"It's a huge season for Greg," Abbotsford head coach Troy Ward told Sportsnet 960 The Fan earlier this month. "Here's a guy that came in with a lot of promise out of the OHL, in Windsor, and went to Memorial Cup (tournaments), did some really good things there and put up points. He's had a decent little run here in Abbotsford over the last couple of years. He's gotten a call up here and there.
"But this is a marquee year for Nemo."
The biggest question facing Nemisz is his role as a professional. Will he continue to be a power forward, leaned on by coaches to produce offensively, or will he take on more of a checking role? During his time with the Flames, he was used as a bottom-six forward due to his limited experience and the coaching staff wanting to ease him into the pace of the game. But given he has only played 15 games in Flames silks, those outings aren't the best indicator of how he will be used long-term.
Going forward this year, Nemisz is going to have to decide what kind of player he's going to be and establish himself in that role.
"Right now, that's kind of what's on the table," Ward told Sportsnet 960 The Fan. "That's what is really going to push Greg this year. Are you going to finisher and score a lot of points and make a ton of plays or are you going to (have) more of a checking role mentality, use your size, play good hockey through five-on-five play through all three zones.
"That's where we're at with Greg right now and we're going to find out more over the next couple of months. He's anxious to get in there and get going."

Welcome to the Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department. It is my pleasure, along with the women and men of the Police Department, to welcome you to our airport community.
The Charleston International Airport is co-located with the Charleston Air Force Base, which is 10 miles northwest of the city of Charleston, S.C. The airport is situated near Interstate 26 and the Mark Clark Expressway (Interstate 526). Six air carriers operate from Charleston International Airport with approximately 124 flights each day. We hope that you will take an opportunity during your visit to Charleston to explore our great community and its many historic attractions.
The Charleston County Aviation Authority Board established the Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department in 1990. It was the board's intention to create a law enforcement agency customized to respond to the unique environment of an airport community and the air traveling public. The first police force in July 1990 consisted of 13 police officers and one civilian employee. The agency developed into a cohesive law enforcement operation with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Aviation Authority and the diverse community of nearly 3 million travelers who use the airport yearly.
The Charleston County Aviation Authority Police Department has general law enforcement authority and responsibility within the territory embraced by Charleston County. All officers are state certified and empowered to enforce South Carolina laws and the ordinances of the Charleston County Aviation Authority within the geographical boundaries of the airport district, principally Charleston International Airport, Charleston Executive Airport (JZI) on James Island and Mount Pleasant Regional Airport (LRO).
The members of the Police Department reflect the diverse community that we serve. Law enforcement services are provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by foot, car and bicycle. The department works closely with the Transportation Security Administration and all other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies to carry out its mission.
In 1999, the police department became one of only four airport law enforcement agencies in the United States and Canada to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), Inc. Today it is among 10 nationally to hold the distinction. The department was reaccredited in March 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011, and most recently in 2014. In 2011, the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies Inc., recognized and awarded the agency convent flagship status and in 2014, meritorious status for achieving and maintaining CALEA Accreditation status for 15 years. The men and women of the agency continue to meet the professional standards established by the commission.
Safety and security, balanced with good customer service, is important to us all, and I hope the information provided through this site will meet your expectations.

Father in son's beheading case ruled incompetent to stand trial
The father accused of beheaded and dismembering his disabled son was deemed as incompetent to stand trail, his attorney said.
Jeremiah Wright is accused of killing his son, 7-year-old Jori Lirette.
"We're please with outcome and it shows great attention that the judge gave to the aspect of the case," said Kerry Cuccia, Wright's attorney.
Judge John E. LeBlanc, of Lafourche Parish, ruled Tuesday that Wright "does not have the present mental capacity to proceed" and is "committed to the custody of the Department of Health and Hospitals and that he be maintained in the custody of the Eastern Louisiana Mental Health Systems, Forensic Division, at Jackson, Louisiana" for treatment.
LeBlanc's decision came after a six-day hearing ended Feb. 4. At least a dozen investigators and experts testified that Wright told them that Jori Lirette, his son, was a robot or CPR dummy put into his home as a government experiment to teach him about life.

Leveraging Enterprise Communications to Transform the Business
By firstname.lastname@example.com on Mar 05, 2010
How do you regard your customer and agent communications? The insurance carriers I speak with daily recognize that having an enterprise communications strategy is mission critical when it comes to maintaining and growing their business, especially given today's dynamic insurance and economic landscape. When asked about their current approach, however, they often note there is no single individual or group responsible for consistently creating and delivering compliant communications with prospective customers, insureds, partners, agents and other stakeholders throughout the insurance business lifecycle. Instead the responsibility lies with multiple groups, ranging from IT, marketing, and their various lines of business.
This lack of centralized, strategic thinking about communications results in multiple and inefficient ways to communicate, and leads to a siloed approach to technology. Point solutions abound in the typical insurance company; it is not uncommon to find more than 20 document automation systems spread across the enterprise, often doing very similar work. For example, a company's personal auto department may use one system to create identification cards, another to create policy pages, a third system to create bills, and still another to produce marketing and sales materials. Further complicating the picture, the company's individual life, group life and commercial property departments may also be running separate document automation systems.
The result of this scattered approach is higher IT costs and complexity, and greater difficulty in maintaining a consistent look and feel for communications produced across the organization. It can put your organization at a risk for compliance, and also can have a negative impact on your brand, reducing the effectiveness of marketing and sales campaigns.
In order to ensure that communications are a driver, rather than a drag, on new business, insurers should consider a more cohesive, enterprise-wide strategy towards managing customer and channel communications. In this effort, adaptive systems can provide the flexibility insurers need to adapt to any output type, channel or system.
Simply put, an adaptive system is one that provides the flexibility needed to handle any process the business requires. A well-designed adaptive system should enable an organization to make a process change or product change without requiring an intensive, expansive project. And, an adaptive system should make it easy to make a system-wide content change that can flow through multiple third-party communications vehicles.
Built upon a solid, reliable foundation with an open architecture to enable integration, interoperability with other systems, as well as a lower total cost of ownership, adaptive systems are based on three precepts. First, information--a single source of truth--must be accessible and easily shared between applications. Second is content extensibility--software models, including baseline industry content, that are flexible enough to incorporate on-the-fly changes and can be used as building blocks for new products or lines. Third is process flexibility--systems need to be built with the ability to support process change, because a business relationship that makes sense today may not tomorrow, due to changing regulatory, economic or global factors.
In the case of stakeholder communications, an adaptive system lets the business make changes rapidly and easily, so that it can support:
- All output types: Different types of document compositions, from paper to electronic, simple to complex, low touch to high touch
- All channels: Agents, brokers, varying customer demographics (e.g., Baby Boomers to the Millennials) and forms of multi-channel presentment and distribution (e.g. print, Web portals, SMS messaging for iPhones and other personal devices, etc.)
- All systems: Integrates with any type of system found within the insurance enterprise, whether legacy or modern, server-based or mainframe, from CRM to core insurance systems like policy administration, billing and claims to enterprise content management
Creating an enterprise communications strategy isn't just about producing attractive, multi-channel documents--it's about an integrated approach for communicating effectively with all stakeholders throughout the insurance business lifecycle. An adaptive CCM system bridges the gap between business processes, communications methodology, and the necessary customer touch points. It can empower you to make you company's vision a reality - so that you're not just distributing information, but delivering impactful communications that can truly transform your business.

with tea or with rice as an accompaniment like we had!!
It is popularly known as "Water Amaranth". It cures constipation and piles if taken with garlic. It can cure urinary infection if taken regularly. Ponnanganni will make our skin glow besides making our eye-sight clear.
Ponnanganni keerai Ponnanganni (Alternanthera Sessilis) is an excellent coolant. It neutralizes excessive acidity in the body. It helps keep away bad breath. It is useful in treating skin conditions like scabies, eczema etc and improves the skin tone and texture. It is an excellent herb for hair growth. Application of coconut oil boiled with ponnanganni leaves, shoeflower (hibiscus), arugampul helps in luscious hair growth.
There are two varieties of this keerai – local and 'foreign'. Native variety is a super green plant. In Tamil we call the foreign one as seema ponnanganni. All of us would have seen that little bushy pink plant in parks and gardens planted as borders.
The word 'Pon' is the vernacular name of the plant ( Ponnanganni) means 'gold'. This plant is thus as valuable as gold. Fried in ghee with a little pepper, salt and taken for 48 days it promotes the beauty of the body, imparts a golden glow, cools the eyes.
Lean people can gain weight and strength by eating this green leaves, cooked with toor dhal, and ghee.
Regular intake of this green thrice a week increases production of breast milk in lactating mothers.
It improves the function of the liver.
If eaten with white garlic, Ponnanganni cures chronic constipation. Piles also can be cured.
Some people have 'hot' body. Such people can take two ounces juice of this plant mixed with 4 ounces of goat or cow's milk. The body then gains strength.
Ponnanganni juice 30 ml mixed with goat's milk (30 ml) may be taken empty stomach early morning. This reduces body heat and nourishes the body. If goats milk is not available, use cow's milk.
Ponnanganni in any form – food or Thailam is good for the eyes.

GRP and incentives for cellulosic ethanol will likely protect and restore several thousand acres of prairie grassland over the life of the new Farm Bill. However, these programs are not large enough to offset the combination of millions of acres of native prairie that will be lost if Sodsaver is not adopted by PPR governors and millions of acres of grassland that will be lost from CRP.
The net result is a significant loss of nesting cover in the most important breeding area for North America's waterfowl. To help counter these changes, Ducks Unlimited will elevate the importance of its other prairie habitat programs to help maintain the region's duck production capacity.
Healthy and abundant wetlands are vital to North America's waterfowl. They nourish breeding hens, provide food and cover for broods, and sustain adult birds across their migration and wintering grounds. Since settlement, the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, has lost 54 percent of its original wetlands. From the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, almost half a million acres of wetlands were being lost annually with cropland conversion accounting for more than 430,000 acres per year. The wetland loss rate has now slowed to about 80,000 acres per year. The lower 48 states currently contain 105 million acres of wetlands. After many years of losing wetlands, our national strategy now is to achieve a net gain in wetland area. Programs in the Farm Bill that discourage wetland drainage and incentivize wetland restoration have been important in pursuing this net gain goal.
One of the most successful programs for restoring wetlands during the past 18 years has been the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). WRP pays wetland restoration costs and provides landowners an easement payment to protect this habitat either for 30 years or in perpetuity. WRP has been extremely popular, and landowner interest has exceeded program availability by 3 to 1. Almost 2 million acres have been enrolled in the program nationwide since inception, most of which are wetlands protected in perpetuity. WRP, like GRP, had expired and was reauthorized in the new Farm Bill. While the 2002 Farm Bill authorized enrollment of up to 250,000 WRP acres per year, the 2008 bill reduced that authority to 153,000 acres per year.

MIDDLEBORO — The Cranberry County Chamber of Commerce is kicking off a series of educational programs for local businesses in an effort to support economic development in the region, according to chamber president Valerie Glynn.
Called the Cranberry Institute for Better Business series, first program looks to help businesses get more from the QuickBooks accounting program. QuickBooks essentials to maximize profit and make prudent business decisions will be the focus in the two 3-hour sessions.
The programs have come together easily, Glynn said, with support from the community including Boston Tavern where the program will be held.
The chamber has set an affordable rate for the program, Glynn said, to allow for program promotion and have attendees have an investment in attending.
Sessions will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Sept. 10, led by Betty Bissonnette, a certified QuickBooks instructor and director of B&B Balanced Books, LLC and Oct. 1, led by Steve Schottenfeld from TraceTech Solutions LLC. Frank Armenio of B2B CFO will also provide insight on using good QuickBooks data to make better business decisions. A full slate of events will announced in the near future.
For details on the Quickbooks program see the calendar listing.

text: As you may be aware, the Football League is considering bringing in penalty shootouts to decide the results of drawn matches. Apparently, some of them think it will make things more "exciting".If this goes through, it'll kill the game. It would mean mo more hard won points away from home, no more last minute equalisers. It could even lead to teams digging in for the last few minutes of a game and gambling on winning the shootout rather than sending players forward.If, like me, you feel this idea needs to be nipped in the bud, then please sign the petition and promote it on any message board or mailing list you belong to. Let's tell the League to keep their draws firmly on!Story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/6452013.stmLink to petition here: http://petitionthem.com/default.asp?sect=detail&pet=3763

The closing of the doors of Exodus International earlier this summer doesn't just signal a sea change in evangelical thinking about homosexuality. It also highlights some evangelicals' dubious claims of adherence to immutable convictions.
Lynne Gerber's interaction with the discourses of evangelical weight loss and sexual reorientation is engaging, surprising and admirably charitable.

The Art of the Tour de France Breakaway
Each Tour de France stage starts with over 150 bicycle racers departing a crowded French town. The first significant development is a breakaway, when up to a dozen riders escape the pack.
It's not always easy. Sometimes, because so many are trying, "just breaking away is a victory in itself," says Christian Vande Velde, an American who rides for the Garmin-Cervelo team.
On Tuesday's 16th stage, with the Tour entering its final week after a rest day, so many riders and teams sought a final run at glory that the race turned into a dramatic free-for-fall. For the first quarter, waves of riders, 10 to 20 at a time, tried and failed to break away. The fast pace was due to the breakaway frenzy and to a stiff wind that backed the riders coming out of the gate. On flats, they were going a consistent 34 miles per hour, lightning-fast in cycling terms.
At the end of the rumble, Thor Hushovd of Norway crossed the finish line first with his second daring downhill triumph in a week. He completed the 101-mile trek from Saint-Paul-Trois Chateaux to Gap in 3 hours, 31 minutes and 38 seconds, the shortest time for any non-time trial Tour stage this year.
Thomas Voeckler of France held onto to his overall lead in the race, despite losing time to some of his rivals.
The main contenders spent their rest day on Monday making predictions. "I'm not going to win, I'm not a good enough climber," Voecker told reporters. "I'm not out of it yet, I'm feeling better every day," said Alberto Contador, last year's champ who went into Tuesday four minutes behind Voeckler. "We are going to make our move in the Alps," said Andy Schleck, last year's runner-up.
Everybody, it seemed, was making a move on Tuesday. "It can take four or five tries before somebody can break away," said Jonathan Vaughters, a former pro rider and now the CEO of the Garmin-Cervelo team.
"It doesn't always work, but you need to keep punching away at it," says Sandy Casar, a French rider famed for his breakaways.
With rain forecast as the Tour headed into the Alps's foothills Tuesday, mechanics deflated tires to prevent slipping and crashing.
After the initial chaos, three riders emerged in the final stretch, Hushovd, his teammate Ryder Hesjedal and Edvald Boasson Hagen, another Norwegian.
Behind them, Contador finally made a move. After weeks of riding behind and looking mortal, he accelerated suddenly into a hill with nine miles left. The six other contenders quickly formed a posse to chase him down.
In the end, only Cadel Evans, an Australian in second place, and Samuel Sanchez, the Spaniard who finished third fourth last year, could keep up.
The race ended with an eight-mile descent. It was here in 2003 that Lance Armstrong famously cut across a field to avoid crashing into another rider.
That was a bright, sunny day. By contrast, Tuesday was wet and cold. Perfect for two Norwegians.
Hushovd is the better sprinter, and he rode into the final straightway with teammate Hesjedal. The Canadian rider kept the pace steady, allowing Hushovd to draft and explode past Hagen and then the finish line.
Behind them came seven other riders before Evans, Contador and Sanchez arrived, gaining time on Voeckler and the Schleck brothers.
After 17 16 stages, Evans is now 1:45 behind Voeckler, followed by Frank Schleck (1:49), Andy Schleck (3:03), Samuel Sanchez (3:26) and Alberto Contado (3:42).
Wednesday's stage is a moderate 112-mile mountain trek, up and down but never vertical, from Gap to the Italian Piedmont town of Pinerolo. Then it's time for two bone-crunching ascents likely to reshape the Tour, concluding with a climb up the famed Alpe d'Huez on Friday.
Possible snow is forecast for the Alps. One can race bicycles in the rain, but not on snow and ice. If that happens, organizers might have to "neutralize" or slow down the race for certain sections, giving an advantage to the man current decked in yellow, Voeckler.

Roger makes it 42!
Roger coasted to a 6-3, 6-3 win over Britain's Tim Henman today to capture his first Japan Open title. He took control early, taking advantage of a double fault to break the 10th-seeded Henman and go up 4-2 before closing out the first set with an ace.
As Roger had announced it was special to play against his good friend Tim. They had been out for dinner together earlier this week where Tim had even tried his talent as a chef. "It's been a great year so far," Roger said."To come here for the first time and win this tournament is a great feeling. I hope to come back next year and defend the title."
The victory in Tokyo is Roger's 42nd overall tournament title, he is now back to level with Martina Hingis. His impressive stats now look even better with a 9th victory in a 13th final (out of 14 tournaments played) this year.
Next up are the events in Madrid, Basel (where his fans from home are most eager to see him play) and Paris-Bercy as well as the Masters in Shanghai.
congratulations!!!!!!! I'm so happy!!!!!
the best,
carla(from argentina)
I will see you always
Love you so much
Congrats for your win in Japan..
Hope you continue your winning streak the same way...

LODI - Lodi police are investigating a shooting outside of the Star Market on Thursday morning.
Lodi police Lt. David Griffin said three people were getting into their car at the market, 741 Cherokee Lane, at 11:30 a.m. where two men started "throwing gang signs."
"One of them produced a gun and shot multiple times," Griffin said.
Griffin said a woman was shot in the back of the head. The bullet did not enter the skull, but just grazed her and broke the skin. A man was shot twice in the back and is also expected to survive, Griffin said.
The victims were driven by family members to Lodi Memorial Hospital for treatment, and that's when police were called, Griffin said.
Investigators are working with very little information on the two suspects, other than that they are likely members of a Lodi gang.

I'm so happy that Andy B sent me a digg shout (I take it back – I don't hate them!) with the shocking news about the latest Google PageRank update, as I would have missed it totally as I've been working so hard this week I haven't read any feeds.
Andy's latest post (again read via a Digg shout as no time for feeds) collating the more humorous response's to Google's PageRank , made me chuckle but it also gave me five mins to try and think about the implications of the move.
From what I can tell, most bloggers seem to be focussing on the impact of reduction in PageRank on SERPS, and it looks like in the majority of cases so far that SERPS haven't been reduced, just Page Ranks. But, nobody seems to thinking about the impact on Google's competition. I'm sure there have been hundreds, if not thousands of bloggers for instance who have panicked and removed links sold by Text Link Ads, Linkworth, TNX etc. This will surely have a big impact on Text Link Ads performance in the future, and may even put their whole business model at risk.
The definition of an anti-competitive practices are 'business or government practices that prevent and/or reduce competition in a market' and include:
- Exclusive dealing, where a retailer or wholesaler is 'tied' to purchase from a supplier.
- Barriers to entry (to an industry) designed to avoid the competition that new entrants would bring
- Coercive monopoly – all potential competition is barred from entering the market
Surely companies like Text Link Ads could make a case that through Google's market dominance of the search engine market, there are creating barriers to entry for other companies in the advertising market? I wonder if any of them are currently seeking legal advice? I most certainly would be if I worked there, even if the answer might be that no case could be made.
Nevertheless, I still think that Google will end up paying long-term for flexing its muscles in this manner. I once worked for a company in the UK in a business development role that had similar market dominance in an unregulated market, and I will always remember some early guidance that my boss gave me. He explained that because of our market power we basically could do whatever we wanted in the market, and force other companies that were trying to enter the market to work to our terms. Hence we had a duty to treat all companies fairly and equally so that we would never get a bad 'big brother' reputation and so that if we ever did lose our #1 position in the future, people would still want to work with us.
I've always tried to take this approach at work, and whether I get a cold call from a 2 man operation or someone from Google, Yahoo, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Universal Music, eBay etc I try to always initially treat them exactly the same and play fair.
I think people will always remember the decisions Google made this week, and I wonder if one day it will come back to haunt them.
