The sewer bills of some in the Barlow area will increase as a result of a sewer system there being connected with Washington County's system.
The Washington County Commissioners signed a document Thursday which allows for sewage from White Oak Sewer Association customers to be sent into the county's system.
Commissioner Cora Marshall said Jean Yost, president of the association, wants the association's customers to be tied in to the county's system by Jan. 1.
"There are between 50 to 60 new customers that the county will be picking up," she said. "They will be charged $56 a month like all of our other customers."
Yost said the majority of the customers that will be tied in are residential and they are currently paying $35 a month for service.
Marshall said the customers will be tied in at an existing lift station at the Barlow Fairgrounds.
"And it will be Jean's responsibility to eliminate the old wastewater plant that he has there, not at a cost to the county," she said. "As far as the tie-in, it's no cost to the taxpayers or the sewer district itself - he's funding all of that."
Yost said there is some work to be done before the customers can be tied in.
"The next step is we have to install a tie-in of about 40 feet of line between their manhole and our manhole and we hope to have it all completed by the end of the year," he said.
Yost said that when the White Oak Sewer Association got a permit to operate in 1987, it stated that when the county built its system, the White Oak system should be shut down.
County sanitary engineer John Grosse said the Ohio EPA has identified the White Oak area as a "problem area" in terms of its sewer system.
"They've had some problems with the wastewater plant and they felt it was better if the county takes care of the system and gets rid of the wastewater plant discharge altogether," Grosse said.
The commissioners also took up another sewer related matter during their meeting Thursday.
Marshall said there are a few property owners in Devola who had received a letter from the county requesting that they tie in within 90 days to the new sewer line that is being installed in that area, but due to wet weather and not being able to line up a contractor yet, the property owners asked that they be given until the end of February to tie in.
The commissioners approved the requests.
The commissioners' clerk, Rick Peoples, said three property owners received letters and two of those had requested an extension. He said the property owners were sent the letters because they are within 200 feet of the new line and therefore they are required to tie in.
He said the cost to each property owner varies, based on who they get to do the work.
"They hire a contractor to do the work and they get the completed work inspected by the county - it has to be in accordance with regulations," Peoples said.
The new sanitary sewer line runs from near the wastewater treatment plant in Devola to the intersection of Colegate and Muskingum drives. The sewage is sent to the Marietta Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Also on Thursday, the commissioners signed a contract that allows youth from the county to be sent to the Multi-County Juvenile Detention Center in Lancaster as needed. According to the contract, the county will pay the district $90 per inmate, per day.
"It's an ongoing contract, not a first time arrangement," Peoples said.

Famed designer Dieter Rams has described how, rather than being offended by the oft-commented similarity in themes between Apple's hardware design and his own work, he takes it as a compliment that Jonathan Ives and the rest of the Apple team follow the same core tenets as he did. Speaking to Co.Design, Rams - whose uncomplicated and exceedingly elegant designs still managed to look fresh and modern, despite dating back several decades in some cases - recalled being approached while at a party by an indignant Philippe Starck claiming "Apple is copying you!"
Rams, however, disagreed with Starck, telling his fellow designer that "I don't feel so, and for me it's a compliment." "It's a compliment that they use the basic thinking about what design can be, and how to use new technologies" Rams suggested, "and that is what I tried also, especially with my main work for the company Braun."
Ives apparently invited Rams to a clandestine visit of the Apple design studios, though he doesn't reveal what, exactly he saw during his time there. The impact of his work has certainly been felt by Ives, who is quoted in the foreword of an upcoming book on the designer, Dieter Rams: As Little Design as Possible. "So profoundly good is his design of music players, cameras and kitchen tools" Ives says, "that it somehow transcends their technical capability."
There's plenty more video over at Co.Design and it's well worth watching if you're at all interested in industrial design.

Think Tank is an exhibit that evolved out of a desire to renovate the Monkey House. When the decision was made in 1990 to renovate, Zoo staff wanted to change the theme of the monkey exhibit, but still include primates. The historic building preservation restrictions also made the exhibit unsuitable for a large group of great apes that would live only at Think Tank. One idea was to build an exhibit about evolution, but the idea was not enacted because there was already an evolution exhibit in the National Museum of Natural History. The discussion then turned toward developing an exhibit on cognition.
The Zoo staff chose to use orangutans as the star primate since renovations would provide the animals with more enclosure space and enrichment activities. One person suggested building a tower for the apes so they would have more space and a new view of their surroundings. One problem that remained, however, was getting the orangutans from the Great Ape House to the new exhibit space. The idea eventually evolved into a series of towers connected by cables that would allow the orangutans to move back and forth from the Great Ape House to their new building. The "O Line," as it is now called, allows visitors to see orangutans in an arboreal mode as well as providing enough space for the orangutans in a building with historic preservation restrictions.
The building that houses Think Tank is the oldest building still in use at the National Zoological Park. It was completed in 1906 at a cost of $40,000. The building first served as a House for Small Mammals, then as the Monkey House, and now as Think Tank. Over the years, the building has undergone many renovations, but the building's exterior has changed little.
In 1904, James R. Marshall and Joseph C. Hornblower, architects of the Natural History Museum on the National Mall, were commissioned to design the building. The original building was 135 feet x 60 feet (41.2m x 18.3m). The building exterior was built using Kensington gneiss, a "salt and pepper" metamorphosed granite quarried locally. Marshall and Hornblower wanted to use brown-glazed brick faces with panels of brightly colored bricks, but the design review team overrode their idea.
The roof of the Think Tank building was done in clay tiles in varying shades of green with purple glass used as skylights for the enclosures. Fox, lynx, and bear figures were placed on the nine pointed gables. The figures were designed by Laura S. Kemeys, a watercolor painter, and produced by the Perth Amboy Terra Cotta Company.
The building was renovated in 1975. The enclosures were expanded and walled with glass on the interior and the public space was opened up. The 1975 renovation cost $600,000. Some changes were also made in 1983.
In 1995, the monkey house was renovated to create the Think Tank exhibit. Because the Zoo is designated a "historic site," all construction and renovation at Think Tank had to be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Review Board and the National Capitol Park and Planning Commission. Construction restrictions were placed on the modifications to the original building. The modifications that were permitted had to conform to the building's original style. Exhibit space was added in the rear of the building and other parts of the interior were also changed. Coastal Design, Ltd. did the design work and the Ronald Hsu General Construction Co. was the primary contractor for the exhibit. Approximately $4 million in federal funds and private and corporate contributions were used on construction and exhibit elements.

A Phoenix Rising?
Wednesday, 11.23.2011 / 7:53 AM PT
|Yeah, Smith's tall.
Anaheim's only trip outside of SoCal in a 30-day stretch that started earlier this month is a quick flight to Phoenix and a bus ride to Glendale, where the Ducks will try and turn things around against the Coyotes tonight.
"As nice as it is to be at home and be around family and things like that, it's a nice reprieve when you get to go on the road and get a little rest and some time with your teammates," Bobby Ryan said. "That's an important part of the process throughout a season. Guys will get together and talk about things, and hopefully it's a starting point for us tonight."
The Coyotes, as they've done so often the past few seasons, have risen above expectations in their first season without Ilya Bryzgalov since 2007. Former Star, former Lightning (bolt?) and current boring name guy Mike Smith has filled in nicely, with a 9-3-3 record, 2.16 goals-against average and a gaudy .936 save percentage. The 6-foot-4 Smith is a major reason the Yotes are hanging around the eighth spot with a 10-6-3 record despite a loss two nights ago in Washington.
The Ducks have seen Smith already this season, scoring four goals against him in a disappointing 5-4 loss at Honda Center back on October 23. That defeat was the second straight in a weekend stay at home, and two days later the Ducks began that fateful seven-game, 13-day road trip that made it easy to forget about their hot 4-1-0 start to the season.
Now the Ducks are 6-10-4 at the (mixed metaphor alert) quarter-pole of the NHL marathon and looking to right the ship immediately. And if you think your favorite team is making you lose sleep, imagine being their coach. Randy Carlyle broached that subject after practice yesterday, just before he and his troops headed up to LAX for the quick flight to the desert.
"There's a buzzer that goes off in my brain somewhere around 3 in the morning and it's always about what's going on at work and what's going on with the hockey club," he told reporters in his familiar spot in the Honda Center hallway. "Then there's a toss and turn for sometimes two hours, sometimes it's three hours and sometimes it's one hour.
"And then you want to sleep till 10 because you're tired and you've just gotten back to sleep at 5. Those are the things that happen. Part of the stress and the pressure that comes with not having the success you feel you're capable of."
More than sleep habits, Carlyle also talked about his hopes for relatively new Duck Ben Maxwell, the former Winnipeg Jet waiver wire pickup who should be getting some time on the third line tonight. Maxwell centered that unit a bit in the third period Sunday night against Detroit and in yesterday's practice he skated there with other new Duck Niklas Hagman and young Duck Devante Smith-Pelly.
"I thought he displayed in a couple of instances, his hockey sense and his ability with the puck," Carlyle said. "We think that we'll give him a look in the middle right now with Hagman and Smith-Pelly. We've experimented and tried other people there and I don't think we were really comfortable with that."
Maxwell has limited NHL experience -- 36 NHL games in four seasons with Montreal and the Thrashers/Jets -- but he put up good numbers with Hamilton of the AHL (142 points in 177 games).
"I played in the NHL parts of the last three or four seasons," the 23-year-old Maxwell said. "I just never really stuck around. I think now, I'm not taking it for granted. I don't have infinite chances. I have to take advantage of one of these. I'm hoping to do that here."
Despite playing them (and the rest of the Pacific) six times a season, the Ducks have not been to Glendale since last January 15.
Tonight's game is at 6 p.m. Pacific time on Prime Ticket, a nice way to start a holiday weekend that includes the Ducks' traditional day-after-Thanksgiving matinee with the Blackhawks on Friday at Honda Center.

Meanwhile, in case you need a good hockey-related chuckle right about now, this one actually made me laugh out loud:

"The Medieval Fair --- July 13 to 23, 2006" Top 5 Page for this destination Óbidos Things to Do Tip by MarioPortugal
Óbidos Things to Do: 154 reviews and 257 photos
Since 2002 an annual Medieval Fair has been taking place in Óbidos. The event provides visitors a genuine "dive into to the past" (I'm quoting here the official program). :-)
It's a fun thin to see. Improvised medieval shops are all over and hundreds of volunteer actors show off their costumes. Visitors might need need to exchange Euros for old (medieval) coins to proceed with their purchases at the shops.
Click here to play my 13 seconds amateur video recorded in Óbidos on July 18, 2006. This video features Medieval folk music.
Medieval games and costume-dressed actors interact with visitors for fun. This Medieval Fair is definitely a great history lesson for any children & adult visiting.
Suggestion: check out my travelogue for more pictures of Óbidos' Medieval time.

Ajowan (Ajowain) Seed - DISCONTINUEDs
Ajowan (Ajowain) Seed - DISCONTINUEDs
Ajowan is a member of the same family as dill, caraway and cumin. The seeds are used as a spice primarily in Indian cooking, where it is also known as bishop's weed, lovage, ajwain and carom. Ajowan is typically used to season vegetarian dishes, breads, curries and fish.
Ajowan is usually ground in a mortar and pestle, or crushed by rubbing between the hands or fingertips before using. When used whole, it is best to lightly bruise the seeds first, to release the volatile oils, which increases the flavor. Ajowan seeds can be stored indefinitely if kept from light in airtight containers. Like many Indian spices, Ajowan is believed to have medicinal properties.
Why Buy Your Spices at Silver
Cloud Estates?
Why buy spices online when they are so readily
available at your local store. The answer is quality and
price. The spices sold at your local store are often a year
or two old. As spices age, they loose much of their flavor. Silver
Cloud's spices are always fresh, never old. Our products
are also an excellent value. When you need spices," click" on

NEW DELHI: The sale of small bars and coins by Indian banks at your doorstop is moving markets. Already the world's largest consumers of gold jewellery, Indians have bought 43% of the gold coins and small bars sold worldwide during Q2 '06. This is a record high because in the last 10 years India usually has had a 35% share of the global retail investment market.
However, high prices have led to a significant fall in the volume of jewellery being bought by Indians. Demand in India, the world's largest consumer of gold in tonnage terms, fell by 43% year-on-year.

I will keep this brief. I have other things to do.
But I have some concerns that I feel like I need to air to see if I've got this correct or if anyone else is feeling it too.
Right now, groups on numerous sides of the education reform debate are finally asking students to speak out. There's a bunch of different student-organized clubs or groups that advocate for education-specific causes. That's excellent. We can't complain if teachers are left out of the debate as we ignore students.
But I'm starting to feel icky. There's one student advocate out there right now who will remain nameless. This person was catapulted into the spotlight, the head of every edreform table as of late. I am very excited to hear about this person. I've spoken to them and I look forward to meeting them in the not too distant future.
Here's the problem I'm having. One, this individual has jumped so far ahead of the line, far ahead of other well-informed folks who've been at this for quite a while. I mean, I get it: students are a hip new commodity and the mainstream media loves them. Look, I'm going to say it: they've never actually TAUGHT. This is the same problem I have with other edreform celebs and I'm having the same issue here.
All right, two: this individual has now gone off on anti-school screeds on many occasions. As someone who does feel the genuine need for a public, free, and equitable system of education, this vexes me. I'm wondering who their influences are. Who's the bug in his or her ear?
It takes a certain amount of privilege to opt-out of school altogether. This person likes to remind us of the fact that he or she did indeed end school early. Now they have more time to continue their advocacy and that is fine, for sure. But there are privileges with ending school to still be able to land on one's feet.
We must not forget that when we make these arguments.
And I'm not going to name this person, so don't even ask.

The Bell Jar
by Sylvia Plath
The Bell Jar Theme of Society and Class
Plath's novel offers a cynical take on the complacency of middle-class American society in the 1950s. All the markers of American prosperity – consumerism, the baby boom, global supremacy – are viewed as suffocating and stifling (for more on the historical context, check out "Setting"). The enormous pressure to conform to social standards – of femininity, for example – results in the suppression of individuality. Characters who do conform are often portrayed as unfeeling, "numb" automatons, and the similarities between the mentally ill and "normal" people are often remarked. Esther's feeling of being confined under a bell jar not only describes her depression, but also serves as a general metaphor for a society muffled into uniformity by its own norms and conventions.
Questions About Society and Class
- How is 1950s American society presented in the novel? What are the differences between city life, as exemplified in New York City, and suburban life, as exemplified in Esther's hometown? (You can take a quick look at our "Setting" if you need a refresher on the time period.)
- What are some of the reasons why Esther feels that she doesn't fit in society? Consider the role that her background, her family circumstances, and her attitude toward wealth factor into her feelings.
- Esther uses the bell jar to describe her feelings of being trapped, not just by her mental illness, but also by social expectations. In what sense are the other characters trapped under bell jars of their own? Consider, for example, how both male and female characters can be trapped by gender roles.
Chew on This
The Bell Jar tackles the superficial values of 1950s American society through the perspective of a relative outsider, Esther Greenwood.
Esther Greenwood's experience shows the darker side of 1950s American society by revealing the gender inequalities and social conformity under the surface of American prosperity.

The Jones' Open House
"Bring the concert home!" declared the Jones Audio brochure. The 18-month old company, whose products are "handcrafted" in Seattle, took advantage of RMAF to debut the Jones Audio PA-M300 monoblock amplifier ($24,000/pair). This 300W into 8 ohms, 560W into 4 ohms baby, which uses a 35 lb toroidal transformer, kept company with the Jones Pre-S2 preamplifier (approx. $11,000), the Revel Ultima Salon2 loudspeakers I've lusted after on multiple occasions ($22,000/pair), a Benchmark DAC1 Pre, and Kimber cabling with WBT connectors (approx. $1000 worth).
I have no idea if the company was using stock power cords, or if there was any form of power conditioning. If the answer to one or both was negative, that would undoubtedly help explain why the system's very clear and inviting top was not complemented by a fully fleshed-out midrange.

At the moment I have a standard mouse connected as well as soon as you get the delay problem if you turn it off use the mouse a bit then turn on re-enabled WiFi it works okay for another hour. Very frustrating. nothing to do with battery life it's something to do with the WiFi connection. if you have doubts Google it you will see others have similar problems.
Please bring back the wired version.

I've used trackballs for years, and for years Logitech have made the easiest-to-use and most effective, but they just don't make products that last. Every three or four years I need to replace the product. This has been true from the Trackman Marblewheel to the current M570.

I would have only been surprised if William Gholston hadn't been suspended. Modern television technology did him in. There are too many cameras anymore and they see everything going on at these sporting events. Gholston was caught on camera and in slow motion, twisting Denard Robinson's face mask and slugging Taylor Lewand, albeit a retaliation punch. He was flagged for personal fouls and the Big Ten he simply violated the league's sportsmanship code.
So he won't play against Wisconsin and that will hurt MSU's chances. Gholston is a terrific player and getting better. He is a mild mannered kid in interviews and well spoken and he obviously plays with fervor on the field. But now MSU has lost him for a game against a team scoring 50 plus points per contest and you wonder can he be adequately replaced? Time will tell. For sure the rest of the Spartans can't commit 13 penalties against the Badgers like they did against Michigan. The college sportsmanship code, in my mind, is dramatically flawed, but who knows if it will ever be amended.

Ubiquitin Signaling: Extreme Conservation as a Source of Diversity

AbstractAround 2 × 103–2.5 × 103 million years ago, a unicellular organism with radically novel features, ancestor of all eukaryotes, dwelt the earth. This organism, commonly referred as the last eukaryotic common ancestor, contained in its proteome the same functionally capable ubiquitin molecule that all eukaryotic species contain today. The fact that ubiquitin protein has virtually not changed during all eukaryotic evolution contrasts with the high expansion of the ubiquitin system, constituted by hundreds of enzymes, ubiquitin-interacting proteins, protein complexes, and cofactors. Interestingly, the simplest genetic arrangement encoding a fully-equipped ubiquitin signaling system is constituted by five genes organized in an operon-like cluster, and is found in archaea. How did ubiquitin achieve the status of central element in eukaryotic physiology? We analyze here the features of the ubiquitin molecule and the network that it conforms, and propose notions to explain the complexity of the ubiquitin signaling system in eukaryotic cells.

Rated R - Rihanna
Posted by xxrosannaxx on Sun, 22 Nov 2009.
The wait is over – for one of the most hotly anticipated new albums in recent history, as multi-platinum, award-winning Def Jam recording artist Rihanna announces the completion of her fourth original studio album, Rated R, scheduled to arrive in the physical and digital marketplace on Monday, November 23rd.
New single "Russian Roulette" was written and produced by fellow Def Jam artist Ne-Yo, whose long track record with Rihanna includes the #1 hit "Unfaithful" (2006, from A Girl Like Me), their Top 10 duet "Hate That I Love You" (2007, from Good Girl Gone Bad), and #1 pop/ #1 R&B "Take A Bow" (2008, from Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded). In addition to Ne-Yo, other producers and writers on Rihanna's new album include the team of Chase & Status, Stargate, Justin Timberlake, The-Dream and Tricky Stewart and more.
Rated R is the long-awaited follow-up to Good Girl Gone Bad (May 2007), which contained the non-stop string of hit singles that began with the MTV VMA and Grammy Award-winning global #1 hit "Umbrella" (featuring Jay-Z), then "Shut Up and Drive," "Hate That I Love You" (featuring Ne-Yo), and "Don't Stop the Music." Good Girl Gone Bad went 5x Platinum in the UK, earned cumulative sales of more than 36-times platinum in at least 20 territories around the world, and spun off the CD+DVD package Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded (January 2009) – which continued the string of hits with the #1 "Take A Bow," and the #1 "Disturbia."
Good Girl Gone Bad was the third album release in less than two years by the 21-year old Barbados native Rihanna. It followed-up 2006's RIAA platinum A Girl Like Me, which contained the back-to-back hits, "S.O.S." and "Unfaithful"; and her RIAA gold debut from 2005, Music Of the Sun, featuring the world-wide smash, "Pon De Replay."

A Quote by Marvin J. Ashton on achievement, awareness, belief, brothers, children, church, criticism, destruction, devil, doubt, failure, family, flaws, friendship, giving, hatred, hope, love, men, needs, neighbors, patience, progress, sister, success, s
None of us need one more person bashing or pointing out where we have failed or fallen short. Most of us are already well aware of the areas in which we are weak. What each of us does need is family, friends, employers, and brothers and sisters who support us, who have the patience to teach us, who believe in us, and who believe we're trying to do the best we can, in spite of our weaknesses. What ever happened to giving each other the benefit of the doubt? What ever happened to hoping that another person would succeed or achieve? What ever happened to rooting for each other? [Satan's] tactic is stirring up hatred among the children of men. He loves to see us criticize each other, make fun or take advantage of our neighbor's known flaws, and generally pick on each other. There will always be those in the days ahead who will be inclined to bash ourselves and others, but we cannot allow a heavy, crushing blow to destroy us or deter our personal or church progress.

Povetkin and Perez to do battle on Friday for a shot at Deontay Wilder
On Friday, heavyweights Alexander Povetkin and Mike Perez will go head to head in Moscow, Russia for the opportunity to face WBC titlist Deontay Wilder.
On Friday, heavyweights Alexander Povetkin and Mike Perez will go head to head in Moscow, Russia for the opportunity to face WBC titlist Deontay Wilder.
Heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin scored his second straight knockout against Carlos Takam on Friday, flattening the respected fringe contender in the 10th-round at the Luzhniki Concert Hall in Moscow, Russia.
Once-beaten heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin rebounded from his decision loss to RING champ Wladimir Klitschko by stopping Manuel Charr at the 1:09 mark of Round 7 on Friday in Moscow.
Heavyweight contender Bermane Stiverne informed RingTV.com that he has dropped the lawsuit that he filed against promoter Don King in advance of the WBC's order for King to begin negotiations with Chris Arreola's promoter Dan Goossen for a fight for the vacant WBC title.
The WBC has ordered the promoters of Bermane Stiverne and Chris Arreola to begin free negotiations for a rematch for the WBC heavyweight title that was vacated by Vitali Klitschko earlier this month. Stiverne unanimously decisioned Arreola in April.
WBC heavyweight titleholder Vitali Klitschko, who will run for president of the Ukraine, has been declared "Champion Emeritus," which means his belt is now vacant for the WBC's top contenders to fight for.
Vitali Klitschko, WBC heavyweight titleholder and Ukrainian presidental candidate, quieted angry protesters during an incident of unrest in Kieve on Sunday.
Heavyweight KO artist Deontay Wilder, who has been added to the Oct. 26 Bernard Hopkins-Karo Murat card, believes David Haye will defeat Tyson Fury on Feb. 8, and that he will be fighting for a major title during the early months of next year.
Vitali Klitschko, who has been busy in politics and nursing a hand injury, has been given until March to make the mandatory defense of his WBC heavyweight title against Bermane Stiverne.
Deontay Wilder on Sergei Liakhovich's protest of his first-round knockout loss: "I must have hit him harder than I thought, because he must still have a concussion."
WBC heavyweight titleholder Vitali Klitschko, who is 42, has been granted an extension to an unspecified date for the pursebid to make his mandatory defense against Bermane Stiverne.
Former heavyweight beltholder David Haye has suffered an injury to his left hand that will force the postponement of his June 29 bout with Manuel Charr, according to The Daily Mail of London.
The co-manager of Robert Guerrero has expressed extreme confidence heading into Saturday night's clash with pound-for-pound kind Floyd Mayweather Jr.
"Forty-three had a game plan: 'We're going to keep pressure on Mayweather,'" Floyd Mayweather says in part two of Showtime's All Access: Mayweather Vs. (Robert) Guerrero. "The game plan is just to come in there and get your payday."
A new deal between Golden Boy and Fox Sports will result in a new Monday boxing series and allow fans to rewatch classic bouts from the promoter's fight library featuring Floyd Mayweather, Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao and Bernard Hopkins, among others.
Mike Alvarado's unanimous-decision win in his rematch with Brandon Rios drew 1.2 million viewers on HBO, according to the network.
Unbeaten featherweight prospect Gary Russell Jr. claims he has been pursued by promoter Curtis Jackson, who is also known as the rapper 50 Cent. Russell is managed by Al Haymon and has a working relationship with Golden Boy Promotions.
Heavyweight contender Chris Arreola meets Bermane Stiverne in a March 9 eliminator bout for the right to face Vitali Klitschko.
Kevin McBride said his reasons for continuing to fight have little to do with money as much as "restoring sanity in my own head."
The Jan. 26 clash featuring RING super middleweight champion Andre Ward and former undisputed middleweight titleholder Kelly Pavlik unites promoters Bob Arum, Dan Goossen and Don King.

After meeting this weekend, the NFL and the referees' union have no further talks planned.
The NFL plans to start the season, which begins Wednesday, with replacement referees. The standard officials have been locked out by the league, at loggerheads over a new collective bargaining agreement.
Mike Arnold, the lead negotiator for the NFLRA (National Football League Referees Association), issued a statement on behalf of the union to express his dismay with the situation.
"We are disappointed because it means that our members will not be back on the field for Week 1 of the regular season due to the NFL's continuing lockout. We remain willing to negotiate with the NFL in order to reach a fair agreement.
"However, no additional meetings are scheduled at this time."
The Cowboys and Giants open the season Wednesday night at MetLife Stadium, and the NFL announced that a replacement crew will work that game. The rest of the Week One games will take place on Sunday and Monday. It's almost certain that the replacement referees — who faced widespread fan and media criticism for their performance during the preseason — will work all of the Week One games.
Since being locked out in June, the union and the NFL have discussed the gap in their negotiations. According to various reports, the two sides remain quite far apart on economic issues, as well as in regard to benefits.
The NFL has proposed having full-time officials, one for each of the seven members of each crew (referee, umpire, line judge, side judge, back judge, field judge, head linesman). The NFLRA is not opposed to this, but Arnold said that the full-time officials would need to be compensated fairly.

On Tue, 06 Jul 2004 21:57:53 +0200, Timo Nentwig staggered into the
Black Sun and said:
> Obviously X11 is significantly slower than the Windows UI.
Got hard data? Without some numbers, this statement is troll bait.
> I have a GeForce2 MX board and read that the Linux drivers are
> outperformed by their Windows counterparts (are they?)
Funny, people have reported higher framerates on Linux than on Windows
when running the evil binary-only nVidia X server and kernel module and
games that are native on Linux and Windows (like RTCW.)
> By architecture X11 is certainly slower than Windows' UI
More troll bait, unless you explain what you mean more precisely.
X servers run in userspace. Windows display drivers run in kernel
space. Running in kernel space reduces context switches, which
translates into speed boosts. The acceleration features X can take
advantage of may lag behind the acceleration features available on a
graphics card, too. Also, the X developers don't always have the full
specs to the graphics cards they're developing for, while the Windows
display driver writers always have full specs. That can make things
slower for X.
> in my case the difference is that dramatic that I really have problems
> to explain it.
Which X server are you using? For speed, nvidia > nv > VESA . You
should be using the evil binary-only nVidia X server and kernel module
if you want the fastest possible performance out of your graphics card.
I use that X server on my desktop with a comparatively ancient TNT2 card
and I've never had any problems with the speed of X.
> Or is it that the CPU does most of the UI work while it's the GPU for
> Windows/DirectX?
If you're using an accelerated X server (nv or nvidia, not VESA) then
the CPU should be minimally involved in drawing junk on the screen.
> Is it a matter of VRAM?
> Would a GeForceFX 5200 noticably speed up my desktop?
Probably not, though it might make your 3D games run faster. Answer my
questions above and give specific details about any speed problems
you're having (like "It takes N seconds to open a new Nautilus window."
"Playing DVDs fullscreen with xine causes frame dropping.") and someone
will be able to offer suggestions.

Taiwanese 3D Animation Site Becoming Net Cult
It has started to become something of an internet cult, but the Taiwanese, (let's be honest, pretty cheesy) 3D animation site NMA.tv is providing its own, unique, interpretation of the world.
If those really bad 3D animations, and a Chinese voice over with English subtitles, are your bag, then you are going to love the site. There is an English voice over but somehow that isn't as entertaining.
One of the company's latest videos is their distinctive take on the Facebook Vs Paul Ceglia battle.
Previous greats include the Royal Wedding, and one of my favorites, the brouhaha over San Francisco tax breaks for Twitter (check out the little Twitter birds everywhere).
Yes the whole thing is deeply pointless and more than a bit strange, but what the heck?

Democracy Now! had a very illuminating program featuring Faleh Abood Umara, the general secretary of the Federation of Oil Unions and a founding member of the oil workers union in Iraq and Hashmeya Muhsin Hussein, president of the Electrical Utility Workers Union and the first woman to head a national union in Iraq.
At one point, Faleh Abood Umara calls the US-written and US-backed Iraqi Oil Law "robbery."
FALEH ABOOD UMARA: [translated] With regards to the situation of the Iraqi oil workers, they're persevering in their work and preserving the Iraqi oil wells. The reason we went on strike was to make twenty-seven demands, which we submitted to the Iraqi prime minister. He agreed to them, but the minister of oil did not implement the demands that led to the strike.
The most important point or one of the most important points is our demand not to rush through the new Iraqi oil law, because we believe that this oil law does not serve the interests of the Iraqi people. So we ask our friends in the United States, as well, to stand in solidarity with us and publicize the ill effects of this law, so that it never is agreed upon in the parliament….
HASHMEYA MUHSIN HUSSEIN: [translated] As a part of the Iraqi society, they suffer like everybody else, but also there were laws that were issued under the occupation that specifically targeted women, especially Law No. 137, which canceled the old civil law and delegated all issues that have to do with civil law to the local communities and religious communities, religious authorities. We took this very seriously and went out in demonstrations until the new law was canceled, but it was reintroduced through the new constitution, and we now demand the cancellation of this article.
As far as women's rights are concerned, women are not completely suppressed. As you can see, I am right here in front of you. And we have 25% of the parliament members who are women, and we seek, we hope that it will soon become 40%. And this is a result of our struggle and determination that women in Iraq will have their rightful place.

Breghon Wesley, also known as DJ Bre, is the epitome of a great DJ.
DJ Bre is a Miami native, and began to grow love for music at a young age. Growing up in the 90's, Bre was exposed to different genres of music, picked up the saxophone, and began to relate his life to the style of many genres. At the age of 13, Bre moved to Atlanta for a year, where his knowledge of music and partying grew while going to teen clubs. He knew what the people wanted to hear, and what would make the crowd move. Out of frustration, he decided he would learn how to handle a crowd himself. He began emulating the styles of DJ AM, DJ Jazzy Jeff & DJ A-Trak. With this in mind and his love for music, he got to work.
At age 14, he had the vision of how he wanted his career to take off, and has now turned that vision into reality. At the age of 15, Breghon moved back to Miami, FL. and received his first mixer and speakers from his uncle. DJ Bre's first gig was at a South Beach club at the age of 16. Now at the age of 24, you can find him spinning at Cafe Iguana Pines, Grand Cafe Pines and crowd favorite Rooftop Sundays in Pompano Beach, FL.
DJ Bre is currently the Tour DJ for Comedy Central comedic group "Dormtainment", Official DJ for the Trayvon Martin Foundation and Official DJ for The Wilameana Jones Experience Show on UniverseMiami.com with Empress Raw. He is also DJ'ing at numerous venues, concerts, parties and clubs in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta and New York. He is a traveling DJ. DJ Bre has been on tour with Pop star Lunchmoney Lewis, hip hop star Curren$y, a guest star DJ on 99JAMZ WEDR Miami and worked with many other up and coming local artists in South Florida. He's been featured in many magazines and prints such as Hip Hop Weekly & the Miami New Times. He has gained a highly professional reputation with others in the music and entertainment industry, and fans of all ages.
No matter what state he's in or what challenges may come his way, DJ Bre will always be motivated by music. He is a living testament to those younger than him that no matter what field you have a passion for, you're never too young start chasing your dreams!
Get hip. Released for 4/20! FYM Motive!
DJ Bre in his latest interview with The Ignant Agenda. Shout out to Waymo!

Any idea that the Mercedes dominance could be quashed in the slow-speed streets of Monaco was shattered by another one-two last Sunday – but the race marked several key turning points in the story of 2014...
There is no doubt the media jumped at the chance to stir up a storm between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at Mercedes but with or without that added pressure it was always going to intensify.
It emerged after the Spanish Grand Prix that Hamilton had used an unauthorised aggressive engine mode to stay ahead - although that was in response to Rosberg doing the same in a bid to overtake in Bahrain.
That has clearly damaged the long-standing trust between them and the suggestion the pair are 'old buddies, so we're going to get along no matter what' has now been shattered.
Hamilton's pre-Monaco comments that he was 'more hungry' than Rosberg, delivered with a pointed suggestion that the German had enjoyed a more privileged upbringing, was already an indicator that things had become more personal than just playing to an over-blown press story. And after Saturday afternoon, it turned into an all-out war.
Given Rosberg's typically honest and professional character, it is hard to believe his yellow flag incident was deliberate. And quite honestly, if he wanted to start playing those kinds of tricks, Monaco was not the place to get clever, given past history that saw Michael Schumacher punished for a 'professional foul' there.
But whether it was deliberate or not, it has helped Rosberg no end. It not only got him pole position and in turn the race win, but it clearly got Hamilton worked up – and that is when he is at his most fragile.
The history of dominant teams with talent-balanced line-ups tells us this was always likely to happen, and that if it did the relationship breakdown would be early in the season. And like the first corner at San Marino between Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost, the incident between Hamilton and Rosberg last Saturday has the potential to define the season.
Both drivers will now be looking for any indication that Mercedes is favouring the other – even though the team is promising to play it straight – and any hint of that could quickly hit a downward spiral.
It will be the driver who can control their imagination and avoid negative thoughts about the intra-team rivalry who will win the title – and of the two, Rosberg is perhaps the more level headed.
It must be frustrating for Sebastian Vettel as this is arguably the toughest season he's had in Formula One. Not only does he hate seeing the Mercedes so far out in front, but while the car he is driving is fast enough to be 'second best', it is his team-mate who is claiming all the glory because his own car is letting him down time and again. Again, in Monaco, a podium was on until his car failed.
But this is where he can show he is a true champion. As the team rivalry at Mercedes has shown, the mental game of Formula One is as crucial as the talent on-track, and in the past Vettel has cracked under pressure.
But that was the pressure of fighting for the title. This is a very different pressure, one that is perhaps more important for his future career.
Back when Michael Schumacher helped build Ferrari, he went through these tough times but came out the other end stronger. And if this season enables Vettel to do that, then he could be an even more dangerous proposition once he gets a car that allows him to deliver.
One of the happiest moments in Monaco came when the eighth car crossed the line to give Marussia their first ever championship points – even though a subsequent penalty dropped them to ninth.
Jules Bianchi, the Ferrari academy driver placed with the team to gain experience of F1, has regularly demonstrated exactly why they have shown faith in him, with composed performances despite a lack of pace. And it was this consistency that was rewarded in Monaco, as he got himself in the position to capitalise on others' mistakes.
Ferrari is currently in a rebuilding stage, and with question marks over Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen for the future, there is no doubt Ferrari will be watching Bianchi closely. This performance will have done him plenty of favours.

Recently I purchased a sony tv, kdl-32w650a model, which contains sony entertainment network, so i assumed that it works well with the ps3 media server. and indeed it does, with one problem: unless the subtitle is included in the file (i tried with an mkv that had it included), it won't show subtitles. i name the files the same, so it should load it automatically, but it doesn't. there is a button dedicated to subs on the remote, but it does nothing, unless the sub is in the mkv file, then i can turn it on or off.
any ideas how to fix the issue?

LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles city attorney's office says it is seeking an injunction against a gang that has engaged in murders, robberies and drug trafficking in the San Fernando Valley.
The proposed injunction announced Thursday seeks to curb the criminal activities of the Columbus Street gang, which has more than 200 members. The injunction would cover a nearly 3-square-mile area and prevent gang members from associating in public with one another, possessing weapons and selling or carrying drugs.
A violation of the injunction would result in up to six months in custody. A hearing is set for March 15.
Gang injunctions are widely recognized as a tool to reduce gang activity in neighborhoods. Los Angeles pioneered gang injunctions in the 1980s and they've since spread across the country and even overseas.

Klinefelter syndrome
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) defines a group of chromosomal disorders in which there is at least one extra X chromosome compared with the normal 46,XY male karyotype. 47,XXY aneuploidy is the most common sex chromosome disorder in humans, with a prevalence of one in 500 males. Other sex chromosome aneuploidies have also been described, although they are much less frequent, with 48,XXYY and 48,XXXY being present in 1 in 17,000 to 1 in 50,000 male births. The incidence of 49,XXXXY is between 1 in 85,000 and 1 in 100,000 male births. In addition, 46,XX males have also been described and in this case the syndrome results from the translocation of Y material (including the sex determining region, SRY) to the X chromosome during paternal meiosis. The effects on physical features and on physical and cognitive development increase with the number of extra X's, and each extra X is associated with an intelligence quotient (IQ) decrease of approximately 15-16 points, with language most affected, particularly expressive language skills. Formal cytogenetic analysis is necessary to make a definite diagnosis. If the diagnosis is not made prenatally, 47,XXY males may present with a variety of subtle clinical signs that are age-related. In infancy, males with 47,XXY may have chromosomal evaluations done for hypospadias, small phallus or cryptorchidism, or developmental delay. The school-aged child may present with language delay, learning disabilities, or behavioral problems. The older child or adolescent may be discovered during an endocrine evaluation for delayed or incomplete pubertal development with eunuchoid body habitus, gynecomastia, and small testes. Adults are often evaluated for infertility or breast malignancy. Androgen replacement therapy should begin at puberty (around 12 years of age) and the dose should be increased so that it is sufficient to maintain age-appropriate serum concentrations of testosterone, estradiol, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH).

In order to be eligible to purchase a ticket, you still must arrive in a Scion and bring a toy ($10 value) to donate to Toys for Tots. Once these 2000 tickets have been sold there will be no other way to enter the park. This is to ensure our guests receive an exclusive event that has limited crowds with minimal rides for attractions.

The Lexicographer's Dilemma: The Evolution of "Proper" English, from Shakespeare to South ParkJack W. Lynch

User Rating
Lynch writes in funny and engaging prose about the human side of language history and the people who have helped make English so darn complex. From Jonathan Swift's government-sponsored language academy to George Carlin's seven censorious words, Lynch's English has been subjected not only to grammatical rules but to their cultural foundations. Lynch's highly readable book will appeal to all users of the English language, from word buffs to scholars alike. "Library Journal" Lynch recognizes that grace, clarity, and precision of expression are paramount. His many well-chosen and entertaining examples support his conclusion that prescriptions and pedantry will always give way to change, and that we should stop fretting, relax, and embrace it.
