Yellow Is Pure Gold At Emmys
Look at the stars / look how they shine for you / everything you do / yeah, they were all yellow. — Coldplay
Some of the brightest stars at last night's Emmy Awards were indeed yellow, a popular color on the Spring/Summer 2013 runways in New York. In hues of canary and goldenrod, the gowns popped against black tuxedos and the red carpet.
The color, typically a difficult one to pull off, may have given the stars an extra sheen of luck last night: Three of the yellow-robed, Julianne Moore, Claire Danes and Julie Bowen, took home Emmy Awards.
However, the Journal's Christina Binkley points out that brilliant yellow hasn't been notable on Milan's runways, and while fine for stars on the red carpet, it may not be a great investment color for consumers. Trend leaders like Miuccia Prada are introducing pastels for Spring.

What is in this article?:
- Weed management is very important in preventing insect buildups in fall crops.
- This is the perfect time to perform pre-plant soil flooding in fields which had high levels of Sclerotinia drop this past season.
- It is important to use the three approved preemergent herbicides in lettuce at the right place at the right time to be the most effective.
More About:
Kerb (Pronamide) use rates on lettuce
By Barry Tickes, UA area agriculture agent
Kerb SC is registered for use in lettuce at rates between 2.5-5 pints per acre. These rates do not vary for weed species or soil type but for the irrigation method.
It is important that all three preemergent herbicides used in lettuce be at the right place at the right time to be effective. The right place is around the germinating weed seeds. The right time is during germination.
Unlike Prefar (Bensulide) or Balan (Benefin), Kerb moves readily with high amounts of irrigation water. Prefar and Balan adhere better to the soil.
When lettuce germinates with furrow irrigation and Kerb is applied after planting and before the first irrigation, water moves laterally and upward (subbed) and dissolves, but does not move the herbicide downward.
Higher rates are required for effective weed control since much of the herbicide stays on the surface.
When the herbicide is applied after planting before the first irrigation and sprinkler irrigation is used, Kerb is moved with the overhead water further into the soil. Less herbicide is needed and rates drop by about one third.
Depending upon the weed species and timing, some of the herbicide can move deeply into the soil and below the germinating weed seeds. This is why delayed applications by chemigation are often used with Kerb.
Chemigation is the most efficient means of concentrating Kerb where and when a grower needs it. The rates are therefore half of the recommended rates for furrow irrigated lettuce.
Unfortunately, the most effective techniques to concentrate Kerb around weed seeds also concentrate it around the lettuce seed. For this reason, do not use higher rates than necessary for good weed control.

Mixed live…that's crazy!
the amazing thing about WoS is not actually mixing technique – once you have a handle on what you're going for, it doesn't take a huge amount of practice to do this live (*). i could do WoS live for friends back in the 80's, though it would have been totally cheesy to ever do that at a gig. i wasn't that good of a scratch mixer (though I wasn't bad).
no, what flash bought to the world with WoS was the concept of this kind of live mixing, something that he wasn't complete unique in doing, but that he was definitely one of the most original and skillful proponents. almost everybody else was working at a much simpler level – one background record, possibly a recut loop, providing beats, then cut in some other material (spoken word, instrument noise, quick note runs or vocal chants from other records). flash took this to a whole new level by creating such an integrated experience. you knew you were listening to multiple records, but you could no longer tell where (all) the seams where.
the serious magic there was in his head, not in his hands.
(*) doing it live on two decks though … that would be amazing. i'm pretty sure flash used three for the record, and it was the only way i could get it to work too.
This. I was bothered by Ted Mills' post a bit, too. However, on listening to it critically, switching out all those records that quickly on 2 decks… I'd have to see it to believe it. Either PaulDavisTheFirst is right about 3 decks (or 4 decks and 2 mixers?) being used, or Flash is hyping himself and (as I had always just assumed) he was tracking out the mix in the studio.
Anyway, what is awesome about TAOGMFOTWOS is not only that Flash was far, FAR ahead of his time conceptually, but his mix engages you. You understand that the DJ is controlling your experience, and that experience is way better than what your local radio or discotheque DJ could do.
Also: my vinyl weighs a ton.
While reading further, I found that Flash would use 3 decks when doing Wheels of Steel live.
Man, I love the YouTube comments on that, which are basically the same argument happening over and over and over:
Person A: "He's a legend. But he sucks. DJs have come a long way."
Person B: "Oh, yeah, sure. With digital mixing. I don't want get all fogey on you and be like, 'Grandmaster Flash cut this track while walking uphill both ways barefoot in the snow.' But, you know. He did."
Person C: "Who is Blondie?"
Some reaaaaaally good art in this one. I mean even by your normal standards.
Also, a link to the Clash's The Magnificent Seven You can hear exactly where this was coming from.
Oh, wow. I guess that explains the impetus behind the incredibly shitty "punk band making a dance tune" copycat track "True Love part 2" on X's More Fun In The New World–an otherwise awesome LP. Never understood why they would play a Doobie Brothers break. It all makes sense now. They were trying to make a rap record in the style of the Clash.

For a powerful new pill that's supposed to ease pain, Zohydro is causing major headaches for an increasingly vocal group of critics.
Zohydro is a potent extended-release formulation of hydrocodone, an opiate painkiller that's been in use for decades and the primary analgesic ingredient in drugs like Vicodin.
However, unlike other formulations of hydrocodone, Zohydro is uniquely free of added medications like aspirin (as in Azdone and Lortab ASA), ibuprofen (Vicoprofen), or acetaminophen (Vicodin and Norco). That means that Zohydro can be prescribed as stand-alone hydrocodone -- free from worry about aspirin allergy and side effects, ibuprofen kidney and GI toxicities or acetaminophen overdose and liver damage.
This improved patient safety profile is what makes Zohydro an appealing alternative to traditional hydrocodone-combination drugs. Additionally, because Zohydro is engineered in an extended-release form, it need be given only twice a day -- a convenience for patients who require chronic opiate therapy.
And yet these same selling points are cited by critics in advancing arguments against Zohydro's release. That's because with Zohydro, if you're not forced to take a dose of acetaminophen or aspirin every time you swallow a hydrocodone tablet, the amount of hydrocodone you can take is no longer limited by side effects from acetaminophen or aspirin.
Critics insist that will encourage excess intake of hydrocodone, worsen the epidemic of opiate-drug abuse, and lead to higher death rates from overdose. They've petitioned the FDA to withdraw its approval of Zohydro, and bills have been filed in the House and Senate to remove Zohydro from the market.
There's great merit on both sides of the Zohydro debate. When matched milligram-for-milligram of hydrocodone, Zohydro offers patients and doctors a better safety profile, but it is likely to become yet another drug of social abuse.
Dr. Robert V. Brody, chief of the Pain Consultation Clinic at San Francisco General Hospital, views the debate as a longer-standing national narrative about our approach to treating chronic pain. He reminds us that, initially, doctors tended to reserve chronic opioid therapy for cancer patients or people dying in pain. After witnessing how that could "help such patients function in their lives," we began using chronic opioid therapy to help patients with chronic noncancer pain as well.
But our rising use of prescription opiates has rubbed up against various sociopolitical attempts to rid society of illicit opiates like heroin, as it has also spurred initiatives within the medical community to limit opioid prescribing. These parallel trends created markets for illicit drug use that alternatively favored prescription opiates like OxyContin or illegal ones like heroin -- depending on what's more available and less expensive.
Brody hopes that while addressing our serious national drug problem, we don't shy away from treating individual patients in chronic pain. But he is worried that already "we may be moving backwards" in that regard, and he points to mounting difficulties in finding primary care doctors who are willing to prescribe chronic opiates.
While Brody considers Zohydro a "great tool that will help some people function in their lives," he thinks its use should not be dictated by the U.S. Senate. He also says it would have been preferable had Zohydro been manufactured in a non-crushable form to limit its potential for illicit use and abuse.
Dr. Amy Haddad, co-author with Dr. Robert Veatch of "Case Studies in Pharmacy Ethics" and director of Creighton University's Center for Health Policy and Ethics, shares concerns about Zohydro's physical formulation.
In an email interview, she underscored the troubling "potential for lethal harm" from the rapid release of massive opiate doses if Zohydro were chewed or crushed.
She emphasized that while much attention was being focused on illicit users, the potential for such lethal harm applied "as well for 'legitimate' users ... ."
Haddad reasoned that to justify such a serious risk, "one would have to argue that the need of chronic pain patients is so great that we are willing to accept that risk" and unable to wait for the drug's manufacturer (Zogenix, Inc.) to produce a safer formulation. But she didn't think that to be true.
Meanwhile, the debate over Zohydro has been muddled by curious political and regulatory activities. For example, it remains unclear why the FDA decided to approve Zohydro against the advice of its own advisory panel, or why FDA regulators did not require a formulation of Zohydro with less potential for harm and abuse.
And we still await investigation of serious "pay-to-play" allegations that private meetings between drug companies and federal regulators may have influenced Zohydro's approval.
It will be particularly interesting to see what happens with the Senate bill aiming to force Zohydro off the market. That's because its major proponent, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., has received significant campaign contributions from Mylan Pharmaceuticals -- a company that manufactures several opioid drugs including oxycodone, extended-release morphine, and even hydrocodone-acetaminophen tablets.
Additionally, sales of these products could suffer in competition with Zohydro. And that would be undesirable for Mylan and its CEO -- who just happens to be Manchin's daughter.

There Is No Dog
by Meg Rosoff
There Is No Dog Suffering Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Chapter.Paragraph
Quote #1
"You never pay attention to me! You don't care about anyone other than those poxy poor people in your poxy files." He put on a nyah-nyah whine. " Oh, look at me, I've got AIDS, I was in a war, my baby's dead. If you're so worried about them, why don't you go live in the bloody Democratic bloody Republic of Tonga—""Congo." "Bloody Democratic bloody Republic of bloody stupid-arse Congo." (18.11)
This has got to be the weirdest temper tantrum ever. Notice that Bob can't even remember the name of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That's how much he cares.
Quote #2
In the middle of the Pacific, tsunamis gained momentum. Tornadoes devastated Kansas and the eastern Chinese coastal province of Jiangsu. And all because the Almighty had fallen head over heels in love with an assistant zookeeper. It wasn't a joke, and would become less of a joke as the situation progressed. God falls in love; thousands die. (26.131)
Rosoff gives us two scales so that we see how unjust the suffering Bob is causing really is. By starting out with a huge global scale, she suggests that the zookeeper, and an assistant zookeeper at that, is especially trivial.
Quote #3
It wasn't that he didn't like to fix things. But every adjustment led to unexpected repercussions, a chain of reactions certain to render the original deed null and void. He'd had plenty of experiences like that: the sweet child saved from death who grew up to be Vlad the Impaler. Mr. B felt like some sort of cursed accountant, with figures that eternally refused to add up. (28.15)
Yeah, we don't particularly like having to do the math on that one, either: is it the needs of the many or the needs of few? Or the one? (Is that a single tear we feel slipping down our cheeks?)

You can do it and you will do it. Just keep telling yourself that you will succeed. Use everything that people are saying whether they are positive or negative as motivation. The steps you have already taken are huge and you will only get better and faster.
I can truely understand where you are, I started walking/jogging back in February/March (4 times a week, like you) and recently went on vacation to Ontario, where I completed my first 5km race on August 1st. I had only a few expectations of myself: 1) finish the race, 2) do it without injury, 3) have fun and meet new people, and 4) not to come in last place - all of these I managed to do, making this a successful first attempt for me!! I will be attempting to do a 1/2 marathon in October (full if my training continues to go as well as it has). My main source of encouragement is my family, my husband and son text me while I am running asking where I am on the road and sending "atta girl"s throughout my long runs. My mother will pick me up when I run between work and her place before we continue on to do our normal shopping. Although they sometimes think I'm crazy for running following a night shift, they still do all they can to support and encourage my efforts. In reading the rest of your blog, we truely have much more in common than you would believe...your story mirrors mine in so many ways (my father was diagnosed 25 years ago and passed 15 years ago). We are the stubborn (foolish to others), the motivated, single minded people who, with just a little nudge can and will succeed...
Take care and all the best of luck
We can accomplish what we set ourselves to do, but the key is to prepare for it. From the sounds of it, you're working on that. My recommendation is to continue to increase the distance a little every week to every other week until you get to where you can run about 10 miles at one time. Alternate short runs, with longer runs during the week and then a very long run on the weekend. Don't forget to rest in between. You slowly progress and you'll be amazed how your body responds; as long as you're healthy. When you do your long runs, eat something small to re-energize your body about an hour after you start and every 45 min-1 hour afterwards. This ensures your muscles are charged and won't give up on you. Also, pray for the Lord to give you the strength and determination to do it. You can definitely do it!
The first time I ran my first marathon, I started preparing for it in Jan to run it in Jun. I was going for the full so I had to really dedicate myself to the training. Prior to this, I would run about 2 miles at the most. Anyway, I progressed using the above and by the time I ran the San Diego marathon, I was ready. Mind you, that is a tough run with all the hills, but the preparation paid off. Ran it non-stop at 4 hours 32 minutes. Speed was not the concern; finishing it was. Don't worry about speed. run your thirteen miles at your pace. I know you can do it!
Best of Luck!
Hey Malyna33,
Tell us how the training is going, would love a status report . I have a client who has lost 135 lbs. to date and every time I train her she amazes me. You can do this.
Weight loss Los Angeles/Hollywood/Studio City
Girl, you are doing so much more than many overweight people do, so concentrate on being proud of yourself and ignore the naysayers. Sometimes people are comfortable putting you in one category and will have trouble relating to you if you're not the fat chick in the group. Don't worry, they'll adjust if they love you.
I don't know you, but I'm proud of you for setting this goal of the 5K. It can only have positive outcomes. So run, walk, crawl, moonwalk across that finish line. Be proud of the woman in the mirror.
I am doing great! I am very proud of myself. I am jogging 4-5 miles monday through thursday and Saturday is the long run. I am up to 6 miles on the LR. I follow my training to the T. Weight is not falling off as fast as I would like but I adjusted my diet with a little more carbs. I am ok with that because I don't see the scale moving as fast but I get compliments on how great I look. I feel great and can't wait for the moment that I become a runner from a jogger. Lol!
I did my very first Half Marathon in June 2009, I had only been running an average of 3-4 miles for a couple of months. I have no doubt you will be able to do it just as I did. Just remember to pace yourself that is so important, also just being around all those other people and seeing everyone on the sidelines along the way made me feel like I had so much energy (even though no-one I knew was out there). May I also suggest that you do not take any GUI if they offer it, if you are not use to it, it will only make you sick to your stomache (take my word for it). Stretch really well and drink the water and juice they offer you at every stop, its so important to stay hydraded! I goaled myself at 3 hours and ended up doing it in 2hrs and 37 min, not too bad for my first time. Good Luck!!!!

Binge-watching television shows is a modern cultural phenomenon. It has its roots in the 1990s when DVD boxsets became a thing, but streaming media services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video have turned binge-watching into a mainstay of the mainstream.
Before you begin binge-watching TV you should arm yourself with some important information. How long will that particular TV show take to watch? Which TV shows are worth binge-watching? What items should you buy in before watching the opening credits?
All of these questions and more are answered in this short guide, which offers a brief overview of the art of binge-watching.
Find The Time With Tiii.me
You want to binge on a TV show you've heard people rave about but haven't ever watched yourself. The problem is knowing how much time you're going to need to dedicate to watching the entire run of the television show in question.
Fortunately, a website called tiii.me exists to answer this query. You simply enter the name of the television show you're interested in binge-watching, and tiii.me tells you how many days, hours, and minutes of your life you'll
waste spend doing so.
If you're too lazy to even do that, Nielsen has created an infographic detailing how long it will take to watch 25 of the most popular and addictive TV shows ever created.
Prepare For The Marathon
Before embarking on any binge-watching TV marathon it's important to prepare fully for the experience. Here are five absolutely essential tips…
- Stock up on food and drink. Whether it be potato chips and energy drinks or pizza and whisky, be sure to get enough in before watching Episode 1.
- Inform your friends and family. Because being interrupted is intolerable. Alternatively, disconnect your doorbell and put your phone on silent.
- Ensure your energy needs are met. Check that your remote control has new batteries, your tablet is charged up, and you've paid your Internet bill in full.
- Position a clock in full view. When the curtains are shut and you're snuggly warm on the sofa it's easy to lose all track of time. Which is disconcerting.
- Remember to sleep. It's easy to stay up all night binge-watching your new favorite TV show but sleep is a basic human requirement.
Choose Which TV Shows To Binge On
You can, of course, technically binge-watch any television show that has ever existed. Assuming you can source every episode online. However, some TV shows are more suitable for binge-watching than others.
Choose television shows which have a narrative structure, with each new episode beginning where the last one left off. Shows such as 24, Lost, and Mad Men are good examples. Game shows and reality television should be avoided at all costs.
Caring about what happens to the characters is key. Watching the same show for a whole weekend isn't much fun if you're not emotionally engaged in what's happening. This is also a good reason for avoiding shows that were cancelled mid-season, as they often end on an unresolved cliffhanger. So it's best to avoid the likes of Deadwood, Heroes, and Firefly.
Last but not least, choose quality over quantity. Check sites such as TV.com, IMDb, and Metacritic (using our guide to Metacritic), to see what the critics made of a television show before committing to dedicating days of your lives to watching it from beginning to end. Game of Thrones, Sherlock, and Veep all come highly rated.
If you're more interested in geeky TV shows then check out our list of TV shows all geeks should have watched.
Add Your Own Layer Of Fun
Sitting down and watching hours of television in one sitting can be fun in its own right. But there are ways to make it even more fun…
If you're binge-watching with friends who are fans of alcohol then drinking games can liven up any TV show you care to mention. Watch a couple of episodes and note down the common sayings or actions, then use them to build a show-specific drinking game.
If you're binge-watching alone and more interested in health and fitness then exercise games may be more appropriate. Again, watch a couple of episodes and note down the common themes, then you can then use those as cues for when to do a particular set of exercises.
After reading this short guide to binge-watching you should be better prepared to take on the mammoth undertaking that is tackling all eight seasons of Dexter or all five seasons of Breaking Bad.
We would, however, recommend not bothering with Days Of Our Lives, as not only is it a terrible television show, it will also take you 88 days to sit through all 23 seasons and counting. Surely life is too short for such a harsh punishment.

Opinion: Reviving the Green Deal
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Environment and also in Housing
bill wright
As the first Green Deal Communities energy-saving schemes get underway, Bill Wright, head of energy solutions at the Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA), looks at progress to date on this major Government initiative.
The Green Deal promised to help householders and businesses cut their energy bills and play a key role in achieving the UK's highly ambitious energy emissions targets. In the build up to its launch in January 2013, politicians and the construction industry alike were optimistic about its impact and the opportunities it would bring.
As early as last September, however, the government realised the initiative was failing to excite homeowners or housing professionals. In response, it announced £80 million of capital funding would be made available to local councils through Green Deal Communities. Successful bids would be those that could deliver Green Deal plans to as many households as possible - whether owner-occupied or rental - and demonstrate that complimentary energy companies obligation (ECO) funding had been secured.
The government received 64 Green Deal Communities bids from local authorities hoping to access this extended fund. And in March, it awarded £19.5m of this funding to six projects that will deliver over 5,500 Green Deal plans to more than 7,000 households.
These 'whole-street' energy efficiency improvements are in Cambridgeshire, Ashfield, Suffolk, Peterborough, Haringey and Bracknell Forest. Further projects are being assessed and the Department for Energy & Climate Change (DECC) is expected to announce the next tranche of successful projects shortly.
DECC justifies the slow uptake of the Green Deal by saying the scheme is a long term initiative; it admits that it will need to adapt over time with the energy services market, and as consumer attitudes to energy efficiency change.
However, it also recognised that changes needed to be made, resulting in early improvements that have included the simplification of Green Deal Finance Company documentation and a promise to speed up processes through which Green Deal providers are approved.
The second quarter of this year should see further enhancements to the Green Deal, with forthcoming legislative change expected which will make it clearer that landlords and tenants can - and should - benefit from the Green Deal. But what else can government do?
Cut interest rates
One factor that I think has contributed to low levels of take up has been the costs involved with the Green Deal. As well as assessment costs, Green Deal loans have annual interest rates of seven per cent, an off-putting figure for any property owner or tenant, especially in the current climate.
As a priority, annual interest rates on the loans need to be cut. The German initiative that the Green Deal is based on has rates of between one and two per cent, a much more appealing figure compared to our rate. There is no question; if the Green Deal interest rate in the UK was reduced in line with the German version, the Green Deal would become more attractive.
Extend the 'Golden Rule'
Increasing the number of active measures covered by the 'Golden Rule' could also help people to take advantage of the initiative, something Edward Davey conceded at Eco Build. Feed in Tariffs (FiTs) should be included, for example, as this would mean the vast majority of the cost of installing solar panels would be covered by the Green Deal. As solar panels have a high installation cost - but also a high return on investment - bringing them fully under the Green Deal would encourage more people to invest in them.
Cut taxes
There is also a lack of tangible incentives to join the scheme. At present, there is no compelling reason to take part in the Green Deal. But cutting council tax would surely stimulate enthusiasm for the programme.
Significant Green Deal uptake is still possible across the public and private sectors if there is a clear financial benefit from making properties more energy efficient, and if funds are provided at a fair repayment rate. This initiative has tremendous potential to make a real difference to local authorities in the way that they run the public buildings they are responsible for, as well as the social housing that comes under their remit, and so to the UK's energy efficiency goals.

Original creator joins new X-Files comics team
IDW revealed some new info about the ongoing sci-fi tie-in comic at this weekend's Emerald City Comicon.
Calling it X-Files: Season 10, though the covers only say 'X-Files', IDW representatives confirmed the full scope of the new ongoing comics line which they announced earlier this year. The big news was that the creative team has been put in place: the new series will be written by Joe Harris (Great Pacific), with art by Michael Walsh (Comeback) and colors by Jordie Bellaire (Mara). In addition to the typical three-person team, the comic will be advised by Chris Carter, the original creator of X-files. Carter's role will be similar to the role he played for the television show, which was exec. producer. He'll be in charge of the creative direction of the series, and the overall plot arc.
Adding Carter to the team greatly increases the legitimacy of the work. No longer is it a new writer just coming in and deciding where X-Files should go next. The original creator, the guy with all the ideas in his head about where the show was going from the very start, will be shaping the direction of the plot, making it a true sequel to the events of the series, thus the sub-title.
IDW also released this synopsis for the first arc of the new serial:
In the opening story arc, Believers, readers will catch up with Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, living normal lives together under secret identities. However, a visit from an old friend threatens to rip them from suburban anonymity, as they learn that someone is preying upon everyone involved in the X-Files. Prepare to revisit familiar faces-some very unexpected, threats old and new, and an intriguing mystery designed to return the beloved franchise to its former glory!
The story will pick up sometime after the second film, X-Files: I want to Believe, from 2008.
We've also got a couple of alternate covers for the first issue:
X-Files was the story of Fox Mulder, an FBI agent assigned to the paranormal division - the titular X-Files - to get him out of the hair of the other divisions, and Dana Scully, the scientifically minded agent sent to the department to keep tabs on Mulder. Over the show's 200 episodes and two feature films, however, the primary mystery of The X-Files is never quite solved. Fans have been waiting a long time for answers to some of the show's more persistent questions. Perhaps this new comic will finally give fans of the series the closure they desire.
Of course, not everyone will be happy to find a resolution in the pages of these comics, when it hits physical and virtual stands. Complaining about the lack of resolution, and especially about the second film's failure to address the mysteries revealed in the first film, have become an important part of the X-Files fandom, and many won't want to give that up, even with the original creator on board.
The X-Files: Season 10 #1 will be available in June 2013 wherever you get your comics, monthly issues will follow indefinitely, if all goes well.

Children's Bible study during Lent will focus on "Symbols for the Season." Each week during the WAS programming, we will relate Jesus' journey to the cross by focusing on Lenten symbols seen in church and various "props" in the Passion story: ashes, palm branches, bread and cup, for example.
Lenten devotionals are available in the reception area. "Imitators of Christ: Daily Prayers for Lent" encourages us to mimic Jesus' loving, forgiving and serving ways.

Exempt hospitals from rolling blackouts — but they can't get too comfortable with their backup equipment
Re: "Roll blackout bill forward" by Steve Love, Tuesday Letters.
I do not disagree with Sen. Carona's bill to exempt hospitals from rolling blackouts. However, I am concerned that passage will cause hospital administrators, already cash strapped, to believe they are truly power protected and pay less attention to their required emergency backup systems.
Total uninterrupted power systems or fuel-powered generators have failed numerous times due to bad design, insufficient maintenance or lack of regular testing. When a power line goes down or a transformer blows, this bill won't keep the lights on in the emergency or operating rooms.
I have designed hundreds of backup power systems for hospitals, banks, energy companies and military facilities and have stressed to the owners that they can only be guaranteed to work in critical situations if they are regularly maintained and tested. Too often, they are not.

How'd a Bug Get on the Ballot
Who ever thought that voting could be so fun, imaginative, educational, and yet..a bit buggy? Well, the 4th graders at River Oaks Elementary in Pflugerville ISD..that's who! We recently visited River Oaks Elementary, because they have found a new way to introduce students to the voting process.teaching them much, much more about life in the process.
Led by 4th grade team leader Katrina Kaatz, 4th grade students participated in a Bug Election by leading the teachers and students on a mission..to elect a bug President! Each class nominated a candidate. The candidate then appointed various committees within the classroom, such as a speechwriting committee, campaign committee, spirit committee, poster committee, etc. The students learned valuable lessons during this process like how to delegate, how to be supportive of one another, how to work in groups, how to be spirited and supportive of all the candidates (not just their own), effective communication, and public speaking.
This is the fourth year that River Oaks Elementary has used the mock election component of the Project V.O.T.E. curriculum. The teachers all agreed that the students gain so much from this experience by voting for something that they can relate to-like bugs. These students learned first-hand the democratic process-in a very imaginative way!
The students actually registered to vote for the bug election, using the real voter registration application and then were issued voter registration certificates. They developed political ads, campaign materials (such as political buttons and posters), and finally, developed and wrote speeches.
There were a total of 5 candidates that appeared on the ballot. Frederick Roachevelt (Clifton Van Dyke), Abraham Stington (Cody Clevlen), Kate T. Piller (Nhu Pham), George Walkingstick Bush (Allison Frueh) and Labybug Lincoln (Tatiana Valdez). Each of the candidates delivered a speech (in random order), and all of the 4th graders voted, but only if they qualified by having their voter certificate. Once the student picked up their paper ballot, they shaded in two choices for Bug President, and deposited their ballot in the ballot box.
The votes were tallied and the President announced----Congratulations Frederick Roachevelt! Otherwise known as Clifton Van Dyke!
What a wonderful way to introduce the mechanics of voting to your students. not to mention all of the life skills learned during the process. Thank you River Oaks Elementary-we wish you many more "buggy" elections!

Sharp Exchanges Over Surveillance at Hearing
Lawmakers of both parties sharply criticized Obama administration officials over secret surveillance programs that gather bulk phone and Internet records to search for ties to terrorists.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R., Wis.) a lawmaker who was instrumental in crafting the Patriot Act that authorizes much of the data collection, warned that there were not enough votes in the House to renew one section of the law when it comes up for renewal in 2015.
"Unless you realize that you've got a problem,'' Mr. Sensenbrenner told Deputy Attorney General James Cole, "you are not going to have it anymore.''
The warning was one of several sharp exchanges at a House Judiciary Committee hearing with testimony from officials from the Justice Department, the National Security Agency, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The ranking Democrat on the panel, Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, said that if the Obama administration cannot fully explain and justify its surveillance policies, they should end the programs.
"This is unsustainable, it's outrageous, and must be stopped immediately,'' Mr. Conyers said.
The committee chairman, Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.), struck a mostly conciliatory tone with the officials, but marveled how they are now struggling to explain themselves in the wake of revelations about the programs from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
"Do you think a program of this magnitude… could be indefinitely kept secret from the American people?'' Mr. Goodlatte asked.
"Well, we tried,'' replied Robert Litt of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Officials again tried to justify the programs but pointing to what they said were successes in terror investigations, including in helping gather information about an associate of 2009 subway bomb plotter Najibullah Zazi.
But FBI official Stephanie Douglas acknowledged at the hearing that in that instance, FBI agents were already aware of that associate before the NSA provided information from its data-gathering program.
Democrat Jerrold Nadler of New York excoriated Mr. Cole, the Justice Department official, for comparing the gathering of the records of millions of domestic phone calls to smaller-scale grand jury subpoenas.
Mr. Cole repeatedly tried to draw a distinction between the large-scale collection of such data, and what officials say were much smaller occurances of searches through that data.
"The collection is only there and valuable if there is use,'' said Mr. Cole.
"We're not talking about the use,'' said Mr. Nadler, his voice rising. "The abuse of civil liberties is not only misuse but collection!"
Officials repeatedly insisted that the surveillance programs, while secret, had important checks in place to prevent abuses, and are approved by all three branches of government.
Mr. Cole said that while there may have been "technical problems'' at times with the data collection, he said "there has been no one who has abused this'' program. John Inglis of the National Security Agency said there had been no "willful abuse'' of the programs.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D., Calif.) noted the government's annual report to Congress on the phone records surveillance program is less than a page, comprising about eight sentences – and she said she agreed with Mr. Sensenbrenner that it won't be renewed by Congress.
"I think that very clearly this program has gone off the tracks legally,'' she said.

"Two of the more dubious achievements of American culture are white bread and light beer."
— Bruce Aidells and Denis Kelly (Real Beer and Good Eats)
Of all the cooking up of things my family does, one of the guys' favorite activities is making homebrew. Hardly a weekend goes by when they're not mashing, sparging and fermenting some sort of grains. (Of course, one of their other favorite things to do is drink the beer they make, thus setting up this constant effort to keep the fridge full.)
Each batch of beer begins with around 11 pounds of malted grain … all in completely different levels of maltedness. From a light, toasty pale malt to a dark, chocolate-colored malt these grains are used to provide the sugar that the beer needs to ferment. After that, the beer makers discard the spent grain to either the birds or the garbage.
Naturally, as a bread maker I was saddened by the loss of all that lovely grain, spent or otherwise. I knew I could use it for bread, but the recipes I found on the internet really weren't all that appealing to me. Most were developed by beer makers and seemed a little on the heavy side.
It took me awhile, but I finally developed a recipe that is light and chewy at the same time. I like the texture of the grain, but it's not overpowering. This is a good bread for toast, since the grains get crunchy and the toast stays tender. It's a good loaf of hearty bread with just the right amount of sweetness. After all, man cannot live by beer alone.
- 1¼- 1½ cups water
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 3 tablespoons Agave Syrup
- 3 cups Bread or AP Flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup spent grain
- 2¼ teaspoon instant yeast or one package, bloomed.
- 2 teaspoon salt
- Mix all the dry ingredients together, then add the water, oil and Agave syrup (this is if you're using a stand mixer to mix it with the dough hook.)
- When the dough comes away from the bowl without being too sticky, continue kneading with the dough hook until the dough ball is elastic and shiny, about 5-8 minutes.
- Transfer to an oil-coated bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until doubled in size.
- Shape into whatever shape you want — loaf, round, rolls — cover lightly with plastic wrap and let rise about another 30-40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, turn on the oven to 410 degrees.
- When dough is ready, place in oven and immediately throw a large handful of ice into the bottom of the oven.
- Close the door immediately and bake for approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of your loaves or rolls.
- Bread is done when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- This bread will turn very brown and will have a chewy consistency when eaten. It will save for a couple of days in a sealed container, but will dry out quickly after that.

Tree improvement is a science exploiting the genetic diversity that exists among forest trees. The aim of tree breeding programmes is to improve the growth and quality of future generations of trees. This entails the improvement and maintenance of the genetic base of the breeding population and the turnover of the generations in order to increase volume growth, tree form, wood quality and disease tolerance. Several biological science disciplines, such as genetics, , plant pathology, , wood science and statistics are combined to breed superior trees.

How to Install Oracle Software on Remote Linux Server
By James Taylor on Dec 20, 2010
It is becoming more common these days to install Oracle software on remote Linux servers. This issue has always existed but was generally resolved either by silent installs or by someone physically going to the server to install the software. This is becoming more difficult with the popular virtualisation and cloud deployment strategies.
This post provides the steps involved to install Oracle Software using the GUI interface on a remote Linux server. There are many ways to achieve this, the way I resolve this issue is via Virtual Network Computing (VNC) as it is shipped with RedHat and OEL out of the box. For this post I'm using OEL 5 deployed on a OVM guest.
- If not already done so download and install a client version of VNC so you can connect to the server. There are many out there, for the purpose of this post I use UltraVNC. You can download a free version from http://www.uvnc.com/download/index.html
- By default VNC Server is installed in your RedHat and OEL OS, but it is not configured. The way VNC works is when started it creates a client instance for the user and binds it to a specific port. So if have an account on the Linux box you can setup a VNC Server session for that user, you don't need to be root. For the purpose of this document I'm going to use oracle as the user to setup a VNC Session as this is the user I want use to install the software. However to start the VNC Service you must be root.
As the root user run the following command:
service vncserver start
Starting VNC server: no displays configured [ OK ]
- Login to the Linux box as the user you wan to install the Oracle software
[oracle@lisa ~]$
- Run the command to create a new VNC server instance for the oracle user:
- You will be ask to supply password information. This is what you will enter when connecting from your desktop client. This password is also independent of the actual Linux user password. The VNC Server is acting as a proxy to this instance.
You will require a password to access your desktops.
xauth: creating new authority file /home/oracle/.Xauthority
New 'lisa.nz.oracle.com:1 (oracle)' desktop is lisa.nz.oracle.com:1
Creating default startup script /home/oracle/.vnc/xstartup
Starting applications specified in /home/oracle/.vnc/xstartup
Log file is /home/oracle/.vnc/lisa.nz.oracle.com:1.log
- As you can see a new instance lisa.nz.oracle.com:1 has been created. If you were to run the vncserver command again another instance lisa.nz.oracle.com:2 will be created. If you are going through a firewall you will need to ensure that the port 5901 (port 1) is open between your client desktop and the Linux Server.
- Depending on the options chosen at install time a firewall could be in place. The simplest way to disable this is using the command. You will need to be root.
service iptables stop
This will stop the firewall while you install. If you just want to add a port to the accepted lists use the firewall UI. You will need to be root.
- Now you are ready to connect to the server via the VNC. Using the software installed in step one start the VNC Client. You should be prompted for the server and port.
- If connectivity is established, you will be prompted for the password entered in step 5.
- You should now be presented with a terminal screen ready to install software
- Go to the location of the oracle install software and start the Oracle Universal Installer

Kellie Maloney - formerly known as the boxing promoter Frank Maloney - has revealed that she only went public about becoming a woman after two newspapers threatened to break the news.
Read: Good luck to Kellie, but the spirit of Frank Maloney lives on
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Maloney said that one newspaper had promised to publish the story in February before reporters doorstepped several family members six weeks ago.
Maloney gave the story to the Sunday Mirror at the weekend because she knew the issue of gender reassignment would be treated with the appropriate respect.
"I wanted to transition very privately because of my family," said Maloney. "They're going through a lot as well and I wanted them protected.
"Unfortunately, someone exposed me at a group I was going to. I was indoors and one day you get that dreaded knock on the door. It was a journalist – I won't say from which paper.
"Obviously I denied all knowledge of it and they said they were going to run the story on the Sunday so I got my lawyers involved and we had to threaten injunctions. That had been going on in February and we kept it under control.
"Six weeks ago another newspaper turned up at my house, and then they turned up at my daughter's house, they turned up at all members of my family's house.
"I spoke with my lawyer and a couple of people who have been very good to me and I said, 'Look, I'm living in a shadow. I'm living in the dark. I can't go out of my house no more. I'm terrified.'
"I started switching back to Kellie and Frank and my head was getting so confused about it.
"They said: 'We need to find a paper that would be very friendly' and I said I'd only do this as long as I've got control because previously transgender people have been ridiculed in the press and I didn't want that to happen to me and I didn't want that to happen to others."
Maloney, 62, also admitted she would like to return to boxing in the future. She has already undergone hormone therapy, voice coaching, hair removal treatment and counselling.
"I've got all these crusades that I'd like to do, but the most important one is I'd really want to help the transgender community because they've really rallied around me."

art house
A cinema which specializes in showing films that are artistic or experimental rather than merely entertaining: his earlier films have played at festivals and in art houses [as modifier]: an art-house film that aims to provoke
More example sentences
- The White Balloon is the first Iranian film to get an art-house cinema release in Australia, which is some kind of milestone.
- Today he says he would have preferred 'a European art house film rather than a Hollywood blockbuster'.
- It's ironic that a motion picture designed as mainstream, commercial entertainment in France will be viewed as an art house film during its American run.

Contests over the term politics, over the boundaries that distinguished politics from non-politics, were one of the distinguishing features of the Weimar Republic. Not only did the disciplines of history, philosophy, law, sociology, and pedagogy each define this boundary in different terms, but participants in the debate also distinguished between ideal and real politics, politics at the level of state, and the dissemination of politics through society and citizenry. The fact that Weimar began with a revolution, the abdication of the Kaiser, and military defeat meant an eruption of politicization in 1918–19, whereby political organs of state and civil society sought in unprecedented fashion to draw Germans into parties and parliaments, associations, and activist societies. "The German people would still consist of ninety percent unpolitical people, if Social Democracy had not become a political school for the people," Otto Braun claimed in Vorwärts in 1925. Politics and politicization generated not only political acts—votes, strikes, and vocal demonstrations—but also cultural milieus of Socialists and Communists, Catholics and liberal Democrats, nationalists, and eventually Nazis. In Weimar Germany there was little room for the "unpolitical" citizen of the prewar era, held up as a model in a famous tract of 1918 by Thomas Mann.

Good old days
January 21, 2012 - Jay Bennett
While sitting around early Saturday morning, for some reason, I was thinking about those old plastic Magic 8-Balls. They were the kind one used to shake up, ask a question and then turn them over to see what was revealed.
Since the Class A boys basketball teams are in a jumbled mess aside from St. Marys being the last team left undefeated, I figured it was time to ask some questions.
However, I don't have a Magic 8-Ball anymore. Never fear, the Internet led me to an awesome website, which I've linked below.
Following are a few questions I decided to ask. Please note, check out the website and have some fun, but the most fun is reading the DISCLAIMER!
1. Is Madonna going to win back-to-back Class A state titles? MAGIC 8 BALL: "Outlook good"
2. Was Huntington St. Joe's win against Charleston Catholic probably a fluke? MAGIC 8 BALL: "You may rely on it"
3. Is Parkersburg Catholic actually better than they think they are? MAGIC 8 BALL: "It is certain"
4. Is Moorefield better than Midland Trail? MAGIC 8 BALL: "Don't count on it"
5. Should St. Marys be ranked Class A No. 1? MAGIC 8 BALL: "You may rely on it"
6. Is Wheeling Central playing the hardest Class A schedule in W.Va. history? MAGIC 8 BALL: "It is decidedly so"
7. Is Calhoun County's losing streak going to reach 50 games? MAGIC 8 BALL: "Ask again later"
8. Will Fairmont Senior be undefeated before its last game at Morgantown? MAGIC 8 BALL: "Don't count on it"
9. Will Morgantown knock off undefeated Martinsburg on Tuesday? MAGIC 8 BALL: "Without a doubt"
10. Is Bluefield the best Class AA team in the state? MAGIC 8 BALL: "Don't count on it"
11. Is Calhoun County's losing streak going to reach 50 games? MAGIC 8 BALL: "It is certain"

(Port Angeles) Two Port Angeles man have been arrested in connection with a bomb threat that cleared the Clallam County Courthouse and Armory Square Mall last week.
43-year-old Tony Deason and 49-year-old Steven Fortman were picked up over the past few days.
Police say Deason told Fortman to make the call claiming there was a bomb.
Both men remain in the Clallam County jail. Fortman has been charged with making a bomb threat and possessing methamphetamine. Deason has not yet been formally charged.
Investigators believe Deason purchased a cell phone for Fortman to use and Fortman made the call from near Hurricane Ridge then tossed the phone.
The courthouse was closed and mall shutdown about two o'clock Friday afternoon after the bomb threat came in to police dispatch.
No suspicious items were found at either location.

"The Effects of Humidity on Aerosol Radiative Properties"
The understanding of the direct effect of aerosols on the atmospheric radiation balance is of importance if climate simulations are to become more accurate. To address this issue, during July 1996, the Tropospheric Aerosol Radiative Forcing Observational eXperiment, TARFOX, was held off the East coast of the USA. This multi-platform international experiment aimed to carry out column closure experiments where the physical and chemical properties of the aerosol, coming off the continental USA, were studied, along with observations being made of the radiation balance.
An important issue that needs to be addressed is the effects of humidity on aerosol growth and the radiative scattering properties of the aerosol. This paper will present some results of aerosol studies carried out using data gathered by the UK Meteorological Office Meteorological Research Flight (MRF) C130 aircraft during the TARFOX field experiment.
Measurements of the accumulation mode aerosol size spectra, over the size range 0.1 - 3.0 mm diameter, were made on board the MRF C130 simultaneously using a PCASP and an ASASP-X. The PCASP measured the aerosol at their ambient relative humidity whilst the ASASP-X dried the aerosol before sizing them.
These data are used to show the effects of relative humidity on aerosol growth and to test a range of aerosol growth models. The effects of dilution of the aerosol on its refractive index and results showing the resulting sensitivity to the aerosols radiative properties will be presented.
It is found that it is of great importance to account for the hygroscopic nature of the aerosols in radiative transfer calculations if realistic estimates of their effects are to be achieved.

3 A.M....Zero flew over Manhattan. He assessed that Jareth's 'bubble' was about 50 feet above the island's highest point. He scanned the skies carefully for Aladdin...Battery Park...Yankee and Ricochet searched the park, walking along the shoreline..."Aladdin!" Ricochet called out."Wow..." Yankee could see the Statue of Liberty's torch from the shore."Yankee, pay attention! We're looking for Aladdin!" Ricochet snapped."Are we sure that beacon out there isn't Aladdin?" Yankee asked. He then climbed the rail and stood on top..."Yank, get down!" Ricochet ran to grab him, but Yankee had already pitched forward as if to dive. He was bounced back by the invisible 'bubble' and was knocked back to the concrete."You stupid ass!" Ricochet picked Yankee up. "You could have hurt yourself....!""Look over there!" Yankee pointed above."Yes, the statue is pretty...""No, I saw a flash of red!" Yankee got up in the direction of Wall Street. Ricochet chased after....Times Square...."Christ, what happened to this place!?" Zane looked around the glittering crossroads."Meow, even the army recuitment office went glam," Dory pointed out. A passing car came withing inches of running over Dory's tail. Dory howled and jumped into Zane's arms."Careful, Dory, watch the dress!" Zane put him gently back down. "See anything?""No. Tommy?" Dory called to Newton.Newton looked southward down 7th and Broadway."Newton?" Zane called.Newton didn't respond."Newton!" Zane shouted. "Do you see Aladdin?"Dory nipped at Newton's pant leg, but Newton stared, wide-eyed in wonder..."Newton," Dory said. "Stop watching the Jumbotron and help us!"Newton breathed, "This...is the most... beautiful thing I've ever seen...""Oh, brrrother," Dory purred. "Zane, help?"Zane and Dory picked up Newton by the arms and feet and they continued the search....Soho..."Ach, this is hopeless!" Berlin sighed. "This city is too big! We'll never find him!""We could have used Jareth as another pair of wings, or Halloween Jack to scale the rooftops," Leon thought out loud. "Hmmm?" Leon ducked into an alley and pulled down the fire escape ladder. "I'm going up.""Good idea," Berlin followed Leon upwards. After a couple of stories, Berlin was winded."You alright?" Leon asked."Fine," Berlin puffed. "I'm not used...to such physical...exertion. Punishment..for my excesses, I suppose.""Just take it easy, I'll wait for ya," Leon said. Once on the rooftops, Leon and Berlin got a better view."Hey, I think I see something over there!" Leon pointed to another building across the alley. The gap between the building was at about 10 feet.Berlin squatted down, out of breath, "Great...After all that...we got to go...back down!""I can jump it.""Are you insane!!???" Berlin shouted hoarsely. "We're 5 stories up!"Leon found some clothesline on the roof, made a lasso, twirled it above his head, and tossed it across the gap. The loop caught on the top of the fire escape ladder on the other building."Where did you learn to do that?" Berlin was amazed."I've scaled plenty of buildings to duck the cops. All because I'm trying to do my art, you know? I mean tagging ain't armed robbery..." Leon grabbed Berlin's arm, "Let's go.""Oh, no!" Berlin shook his head. "This is dangerous! This is insane."Leon smiled devilishly, "Of course it is, mate. We're Bowies. No grab on." Leon stood on the edge, as Berlin wrapped his arms securely around his shoulders from behind. Berlin shut his eyes tightly, as they swung across the gap."AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!""Damn, Berlin, don't scream!" No more than ten seconds later, Leon had dropped Berlin on the rooftop of the other building."Ha!" Leon said, proudly, "Tell Jimmy you swung across an alley like Tarzan on the shoulders of a crazy mutha-f**kin' mulatto!" Berlin opened one eye, "Crazy mother-f**kin'....What's that?" He saw what looked like red hair behind a chicken coup. Leon and Berlin ran, "Aladdin!"No Aladdin. A scarecrow with a red wig."I...am going to kill you, Leon, if it wouldn't be called a bias crime," Berlin fainted.Fifth Avenue..."We're supposed to be looking for Aladdin!" Nana shouted.Liza, Veronica, and Screamin' Lord Byron were mesmerized by the windows of Versace."We ARE looking!" Liza pouted. "Aladdin is one of most glamourous among us. Why wouldn't he do a little window shopping?""But the stores aren't even open yet!" Nana reasoned."Oh, I see it!" Veronica gasped."Aladdin?" Nana asked."No, that turquoise python-skin strapless I'd been telling you all about." Liza and Byron "ooh"ed and "aah"ed."There you are!" Algeria Touchshriek tapped on Nana's shoulder. "I've been looking for you girls."Nana stared coldly, "I'm sure you were. Don't make me use my cane.""Now, now, my dear," Touchshriek smiled a near-toothless smile, "we haven't had dinner first.""Have you seen Aladdin?" Nana asked."No," Mr. Touchshriek said, "but...um...I was thinking...""What?" Nana snapped curtly."Perhaps...you and I...take a walk about the park...""This is no time for a date, Algeria! No go away and don't bother us again!"Touchshriek sighed sadly, and looked downward, "Oh...fine. It's alright, I suppose." He started walking northward, then stopped, "In my time, a gentlemen did not allow a lady to go unescorted.""What am I, you little toad?" Byron turned his nose up at Algeria.Touchshriek frowned, "I said a gentleman.""You old fart!" Byron screamed..."Leave him alone, Byron," Liza grabbed him by the arm. "Let's go down to Saks." Liza dragged the indignant Byron away, as Veronica and Nana followed. Touchshriek slowly hobbled down the opposite direction. Nana looked over her shoulder, frowned, and said, "Girls, I'll meet you when we find Aladdin."To the girls and Byron's suprise, Nana quickly hobbled to Touchshriek. To Algeria's amazement, Nana took him by the hand, and the two slowly made their way to Central Park. "Now just remember, no hanky-panky," Nana shook her cane.Don't understand me, just love me
