HIGHLAND — Vandals tore through Highland Cemetery this week, damaging or destroying more than 100 headstones and leaving the families of loved ones buried there outraged.
Lloyd Supervisor Paul Hansut estimated the damage at between $30,000 and $40,000 and offered a $1,000 cash reward for information leading to the vandals' arrest.
The headstone of Hansut's father-in-law, former Ulster County Legislature Chairman Daniel Alfonso, was damaged.
"This is personal with me now," said Hansut, a former police officer.
Lloyd police Lt. James Janso said the vandalism occurred late Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.

Post subject: Maternity Allowance being abroad, MATB1.
I'm writing to You on a behalf of my friend.
She is pregnant. It's 5th week.
She has been working enough time to be entitled to get Maternity allowance.
She has been employed for more than 26 weeks in the 66 weeks up to and including the week before her baby is due.
The problem is that she has to go back to Poland soon, so propably she will not be able to be here after 20th week to get MATB1 from her midwife which is nessesary to apply for MA. She has misscarriaged a baby once, so there might be a problem with flying for her.
Can You give us a piece of advice what to do now to get MA from Jobcentre being in Poland.
Is there a chance that a written confirmation\declaration from polish gynaecologist about her pregnancy would be enough to apply for MA.
We would really appreciate that.
Best regards

What's planned for June 2014 in the Languedoc
Te Whau Lodge returns to France June 2014 to enjoy the start of summer in the Languedoc!
We, Gene O'Neill and Liz Eglinton, are passionate foodies and keen travellers with a penchant for France. We are no strangers to hosting guests from around the world and, 14 years ago, created a small, intimate guest lodge on Waiheke Island, New Zealand. Te Whau Lodge is the type of place that we had longed to find in our own travels - a place to enjoy good food, good wine and more importantly good company - relaxed hospitality in a relaxed setting.
Each year since 2004, we have taken time out from the Lodge and travelled to France and many have joined us to share the experience - first in Provence and now in the Languedoc. For our last four trips we have been based in Marseillan in the Languedoc and we simply loved it! So much so that we are planning a return trip.
For our 2014 travels, we will be based back in the delightful village of Marseillan for three weeks from early June. Once an important trading port, Marseillan is now a lively village with a picturesque port area filled with recreational boats and lined with several cafes and restaurants and a wine "cave". One of the oldest villages in France, Marseillan has loads of character - the village square hosts a weekly market as well as shops for the daily essentials - the obligatory boulangerie and a very fine boucherie.
Marseillan is a great base - within easy reach of the colourful medieval town of Pezenas, the Mediterranean coast and the vibrant university town of Montpellier. The world famous Canal Du Midi is nearby and, being the largest wine growing area in France, the Languedoc region boasts hundreds of vineyards and quaint old wine growing towns just waiting to be explored.
While good food, wine and company will flow through each week, we will make sure that there is a different mix of experiences to enjoy each week so people can join for one or more weeks. This is not a tour but rather a group of up to eight people (including ourselves) having a holiday and sharing experiences in a special little corner of France - why not join us ...
Marseillan sits on the shores of the Etang de Thau - an immense salt water lake - and there is much to enjoy in this historic area. We'll visit neighbouring Agde - named the 'black pearl' for its impressive basalt buildings, we'll experience the vibrant market of Sete - the largest French fishing port on the Mediterranean - and we'll sample the famed oysters of Bouzigues. Marseillan itself warrants a day to explore either on foot or by bike and we'll round the day off with a visit to learn the secrets behind Marseillan's renowned export, Noilly Prat vermouth. In the evenings, we'll dine out at one of the many restaurants in town or put on our aprons and roll up our sleeves and prepare stunning dinners 'chez nous' using produce selected from the markets.
Here is the chance to enjoy a slower pace of life in a beautiful environment - we'll walk the cobbled streets of St Guilhem le Desert, a Unesco world heritage site, where time stands still and we'll take in the bustling weekly market at Clermont l'Herault before visiting the picturesque hamlet of Villeneuvette. Medieval Pezenas is also a 'must'. If this week doesn't lower your blood pressure with the help of a little time by the heated pool and a glass of chilled rose, then nothing will!
An engineering masterpiece, the canal du midi is fascinating. Once a bustling commercial route, it now draws many holidaymakers who boat, cycle or walk the length of the canal. There is much to explore from the stepped locks at Beziers to charming little villages with canalside cafes. We'll enjoy the many facets of the canal and along the way, we'll add into the mix some wonderful treats of the Languedoc - its history, its wines and its unique cuisine. A very special week.
A two-storied 'maison vigneron' just a few minutes walk from the port and town centre in Marseillan will be our base. Built in the 1890's, the house has been beautifully restored and is ideally set up for a group. Each level has an open plan kitchen, dining and living room and off the main downstairs living area is an outdoor dining area while off the upstairs kitchen is yet another dining terrace. There are four bedrooms and bathrooms, so there will be plenty of space for us all. All linen will be supplied and your room will be set up on arrival. Please note - there is good wifi connection at the house.
The house is a real haven to enjoy after a day out exploring and the enclosed garden and heated pool are totally private. There is so much to enjoy in Marseillan that we will make sure that one of the days each week is spent largely 'at home' so there will be time to chill by the pool, go for some walks, cycle to Marseillan plage or just soak up the atmosphere of this charming portside village.
Each 'week': Euros 1570 per person.
Please note - our 'week' is based on 6 nights - arriving on Sunday afternoon and departing on Saturday morning and the rates above are based on double occupancy - there is a single supplement, please enquire.
We have aimed to make the package as much as possible an all-inclusive one so that there should be no surprises at the end of your stay - we hope this approach works for you.

Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape
by John Ashbery
Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape Theme of The Home
"Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape" follows a favorite cartoon character back to his apartment. It's like MTV Cribs, cartoon-style. The only problem is that Popeye isn't home. Instead, one of his most notorious enemies is hanging out with a guy named Wimpy. Because these are cartoon characters, we might expect scenes of off-the-wall violence, but instead everyone is totally domestic. They have nothing better to do than sit on the couch and open can after can of spinach. The home protects and isolates the characters from the outside world.
Questions About The Home
- How did the Sea Hag get into Popeye's apartment? Was she invited or did she break in?
- Would you want to spend a vacation in Popeye's apartment? What kinds of things do you think you would find there (besides spinach, of course)?
- How does Popeye's apartment contribute to the taming of nature?
- What do you think "domestic thunder" could mean? Is the thunder more powerful than the apartment, or the other way around?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
The poem depicts the gradual domestication of nature until nature disappears altogether.

Our Mission, Our Story
The concept of a credit union is that people can get better financial services by pooling their resources and working together.
In 1951 these principles were brought to Gadsden, AL, when a group of seven Goodyear Tire and Rubber employees each pulled $5.25 from their pockets and chartered Family Savings Credit Union.
Since that time, Family Savings has grown to over 73,000 members with branches located in Alabama and Georgia. We still serve the employees of Goodyear, but we've extended membership to also include:
Alabama - Persons who live, worship, work (or regularly conduct business in), or attend school in Etowah, Marshall, DeKalb, Jackson, Cherokee, Calhoun, Cleburne, Madison, Blount and St. Clair Counties, Alabama.
Georgia - Persons who live in Bartow, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Gordon, Haralson, Paulding, Polk and Walker Counties, Georgia.
Today, Family Savings Credit Union is still driven by the same mission:
Not for Profit, Not for Charity, But for Service
We are dedicated to giving members a lower cost alternative to the traditional banking system. Members, not profits, have always been and still are our top priority. We are equally dedicated to providing state-of-the-art products and services backed by personalized customer service. This is evidenced by:
- Free Kasasa Cash checking account—a revolution in checking. You earn incredible dividends, nationwide ATM refunds, and other conveniences simply for performing everyday banking activities you're probably already doing anyway.
- The incredible rates and wide range of loans offered
- Nationwide access to compatible institutions and a network of surcharge-free ATMs
- A number of discounts with outside businesses and organizations
Like a family, we want to make sure that all our members succeed. That's why our employees go the extra step to ensure that you are receiving customized advice and helpful service every step of the way.
Don't just bank, be a part of a family that succeeds when its members succeed. Join today!

I just discovered an unofficial Bitterwood fan site that looks as if it just launched. It's got forums to discuss the book and overall looks really well designed, though at the moment no one but the site designer has posted there. Now that I've found out about the site, I'll try to drop in from time to time. If anyone here is looking for a place to discuss the Dragon Age books with other fans, give this a shot. It looks like the sort of site I'd want to design for myself if I were a web-page designer instead of a novelist.

All DraftStar Camps have a holistic approach to athlete development. Skills and fitness development based on the AFL 60 Combine Testing coupled with game simulations and sessions on leadership, nutrition and recovery develop every aspect of every athlete. Three day residential camps include accommodation and meals, with sessions running into the evenings to maximise learning time. Compared to the three day non residential camps, the fact that athletes stay at camp increases team bonding and gives more time to get to know coaches. Having the evenings available allows us to run in depth sessions on leadership and preparation, with more time in the day for additional activities like game simulations and The DraftStar Challenge.

I am currently developing a site for a real estate business and it is all built with Yii Framework -I am alone here so I need the best allies for this job . During this development I come up with the creation of some cool extensions that I am, of couse, going to share with all of you.
Introducing jqPrettyPhoto
This extension is making use of the grrrreat jQuery plugin called PrettyPhoto. Here is its description in detail:
rettyPhoto is a jQuery lightbox clone. Not only does it support images, it also support for videos, flash, YouTube, iframes. It's a full blown media lightbox.
It is very easy to setup, yet very flexible if you want to customize it a bit. Plus the script is compatible in every major browser, even IE6.
It also comes with useful APIs so prettyPhoto can be launched from nearly anywhere (yes, that includes Flash)!
How to Install
Unzip the contents of the downloaded package below and copy its contents into your application's protected/extensions folder.
How to Use
Once we have move the contents of the zipped file into the extensions folder we are ready to go. Use it at your own will into your views like this:

 Yii::import('ext.jqPrettyPhoto'); jqPrettyPhoto::addPretty('.gallery a',jqPrettyPhoto::PRETTY_GALLERY,jqPrettyPhoto::THEME_FACEBOOK);
Wow! That was easy! Please allow me to explain the addPretty function. It comes with three parameters:
1) element/s selector: the JQUERY SELECTOR to the links you want to set pretty photo to. In the example above I had the following on the view's HTML:

2) The second parameter is of the value jqPrettyPhoto::PRETTY_GALLERY or jqPrettyPhoto::PRETTY_SINGLE, which tells the extension whether the selector will be a list of a gallery images or just a single file.
3) The third one is what theme to use -please refer to jqPrettyPhoto.php's code to see more options on this one.
** If you have problems please use this link.

James Durbin couldn't hold back his tears
"Man, I worked so damn hard to get here. And ... God, I was really hoping to get there, but I had a feeling today. ... I did so much stuff that's never been done on this show before. ... In my eyes, in my mind and what I believe is that I did what I came here to do, and that was to give metal a chance," he said, his voice cracking, his face wet with tears. "And to bring it and give 110 percent every week!," MTV quoted Durbin as saying.
He took to the stage one last time my singing Paul Mccartney's track "Maybe I'm Amazed". He thanked the audience for being so good to him. He had one of the most emotional sendoffs in American Idol. Judge Jennifer Lopez even cried while giving him a standing ovation.
The departure of James Durbin has now left Scott McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Haley Reinhart in the fray for the American Idol title.

May I make a suggestion? If a teacher has touched your child's life this year, she or he would probably appreciate a note or an email telling them so. Most people choose to teach because they hope to make a difference. Heaven knows it's not for the money or the social status. So, if your child's teacher--or if you had a teacher who touched you and you've never told them--it would be a generous and gracious thing you might consider as the year comes to an end.
Now, since the students are all studying diligently to prepare for exams, I thought that this might be a good time for a quick exam here. I'm actually planning on posting over the summer as well, but as the release date for The Kindling creeps up, I might get a bit sidetracked.
Multiple Choice:
1. The worst thing that can happen to your child is:
a) Encounter difficulty and adversity in middle school
b) Not be treated fairly in everything
c) End up cosseted and pampered and unable to face the difficulties that come with maturity and life.
2. If your child has problems with a teacher:
a) The teacher is an idiot
b) The teacher is evil
c) The teacher is a flawed and fallible human being who is probably trying to do the best they can.
3. In light of "2," when you disagree with something that happens at school you should:
a) March directly to the principal
b) Take to Facebook and Twitter and denounce the teacher, the school, and Western Civilization.
c) Decide if the stakes are really all that high and whether it warrants a response at all.
4) If you carefully weigh all the options and considerations and decide a reponse is warranted (realizing that this is probably going to be the minority of occasions) than it would be best to:
a) March directly to the principal
b) Take to Facebook and Twitter and denounce the teacher, the school, and Western Civilization.
c) Email the teacher (or call) and ask if you can set up a time when you can talk.
5) Adolescents are different than adults in that they:
a) Have very little ability to make good decisions in the moment.
b) Respond well to force and compulsion
c) Are aware that they are quite immature.
6) Most adolescents respond well to:
a) Incentives and rewards
b) Threats and punishments
c) Calm, reasoned discourse.
7). With adolescents it is important to:
a) Fight to the figurative death to make sure they do everything you want them to.
b) Decide on a few priorities and then be unyielding, while being flexible on everything else.
c) Be willing to let most things go.
8) Adolescents look a lot like small adults. Therefore,
a) They should be encouraged to dress, act, and talk like adults.
b) They should be given lots of privileges and freedom.
c) It is important to constantly remind yourself that they are not adults and are very different creatures.
9) We should:
a) Celebrate how wonderful adolescents are, tell them they are amazing, and encourage them to be themselves at all costs.
b) Love them and help them understand that they are works in progress who have great, but unfinished, potential.
c) Lock them in a tower on short rations until they are 21.
10) It is good to:
a) Be actively involved in your child's social life and be one of the girls (or guys), in the know about the latest gossip.
b) Use lots of current phrases and cool terminology to relate to your teen.
c) Have your own life and be aware of what is going on in your child's life, while maintaing your status as an adult.
11) Dealing with failure, adversity and grappling with the consequences of bad decisions will:
a) Stunt an adolescent's soul and turn them into warped, frustrated zombies.
b) Destroy their chances to get into a good college.
c) Help teach valuable lessons that will contribute to a successful, happy life.
12) The overall goal in raising an adolescent is:
a) Getting them to be productive, happy adults who can have meaningful relationships and do good work in whatever endeavor they chose.
b) Having as little conflict as possible.
c) Reliving your own youth.
d) Making sure they encounter as few difficulties and obstacles as possible.
13) When your child has social problems the most productive thing to do is:
a) Take to Facebook and rage about how mean people are.
b) Talk to the other parents about how mean so-and-so is and see if you can lead a campaign to get that child excluded from social events.
c) Help them assess honestly and see if they might be contributing the problem somehow, if necessary, seeking the opinion of objective observers who might have some thoughts.
d) Tell your child that they are wonderful, it must be entirely the other person's fault.
14. When you are frustrated and want to scream about your adolescent remember:
a) The law takes a very dim view of justifiable homicide.
b) These years will pass and when they do, your child will be leaving home, probably for good (unless the economy doesn't getter in which case they may be with you for a long, long, long time to come. However, also remember that you may one day depend on them to provide a home for you when you are elderly).
c) If you do the best you can and use a little judgement and wisdom, your child will probably turn out to be a wonderful adult.
14. Adolescents have more going on in ther brains, bodies, emotions, and psyches than we realize. Consequently we should:
a) Cut them lots of slack.
b) Be unyielding and firm and endlessly loving and forgiving as the limits of our own flawed humanity will allow.
c) Beat them with willow switches, wooden spoons, and hairbrushes.

My client at http:///www.tooninanimation.net would like his "Welcome" post to always stay first, on top. He'd like to add blog entries that will fall under this one chronologically. The Blogspot trick of post-dating to 2009 or whatever doesn't work, as WordPress will hold that entry & not publish it until the that time rolls around.
He can, of course, edit the timestamp for the Welcome post everytime he makes an entry, but this isn't convenient for him.
Is there a way to ensure that one post always stays on top?

Drawing the Detective: Aaron Campbell on Sherlock Holmes
Aaron Campbell on Sherlock Holmes
Now, it's Campbell's turn.
Newsarama: Aaron, what landed you on Sherlock Holmes at Dynamite? What made the project something you couldn't say no to?
Aaron Campbell: I had the good fortune of being introduced to Nick Barucci last summer at San Diego Comic Con. He saw some samples I had and I guess he liked what he saw. After the con we started talking about some possible projects I could work on and eventually Sherlock Holmes came up. I think there are several reasons I couldn't say no to this project at that point. First and foremost this was my big chance to break into the business that so many artists dream of but often never get and if I know anything it's that fate doesn't just go around handing out second chances. Second, I couldn't think of a better project to begin my career in comics. The script that Leah and John wrote is really good and the time just seems ripe for the great detective's comeback. There's a movie on the way, PBS is airing all the old BBC episodes, I'm already starting to see Sherlock Holmes endcaps at bookstores, it's seeping back into the collective consciousness.
NRAMA: That said, how familiar were you with the character(s) before this? Did you need a quick catch-up primer, or did you know largely enough about them that you could tackle the project without too much of a refresher?
AC: I've gotta come clean on this one. Before taking on this project I had never actually read any of the Sherlock stories. I admit, it's pretty sad, especially since I'm a big fan of Victorian literature. So my image of Holmes was much like that of most people, deerstalker, magnifying glass, and a big hook nose. I had a couple months, though, to get schooled before starting the drawing and began consuming everything I could about the great detective. I've been reading all the original stories, listening to the old radio broadcasts with Basil Rathbone, looking at early Holmes illustration by artists like Sidney Paget and Robert Fawcett, and watching the BBC series.
At this point I feel like my life revolves around Holmes.
NRAMA: For you, what makes Holmes Holmes, artistically? What characteristics have to be there?
NRAMA: Speaking of Holmes friend, let's hit the same question, but for Watson. Obviously, he's a strong character in his own right, but yet, has to be secondary to Holmes. How do you show that, artistically?
AC: Watson is another icon and probably the source for our modern concept of the sidekick. He's like a good multi-tool for Sherlock, when employed for the right purpose he can be indispensible but on his own he's virtually useless. I see Watson a bit like the bobbies from Monte Python that stumble onto a scene and say, "What's all this then?" Again, it's all about his mannerisms. He is loyally and steadfastly Sherlock's man and looks to him for the answers. Visually Watson won't project the same sense of confidence as Holmes and at this point he's a bit older and putting weight on whereas Holmes is still fit and agile. Hopefully this will come through in the book.
NRAMA: What about his world? Were you able to get into the look and feel of Victorian England?
AC: Finding good reference can be difficult, especially for the places that require more historical accuracy, but I think my style works well for the time period. Victorian England was a dim, cluttered place. The thing I'm really trying to get is the sense of contrast, not just in the inks but between the different environments. There wasn't much in the way of in-betweens at the time. You had the immaculate clutter of the upper classes or the decrepit filthy clutter of the lower classes. Communicating that is what brings it to life for me.
NRAMA: Obviously, with any Sherlock Holmes story, there will be a good amount of exposition and conversation (along with a fair amount of action, of course...) - and we've often heard that those scenes are loathed by artists. How do you feel about them?
NRAMA: Has there been anything in the scripts from Leah and John so far that has caught you off guard or make you wish they hadn't put it in the script in the first place?
AC: I wouldn't change anything. Like I said before finding good reference can be difficult but I enjoy the research. It strengthens my connection to the story. For instance we spend a bit of time at Scotland Yard as would be expected and John and Leah are very concerned with maintaining a certain level of historical accuracy. In the history of Scotland Yard there have been three of them. In this story we visit the second of these incarnations, a red and white candy-cane striped edifice that is now, in the present day, known as the Norman Shaw Building after it's original architect. I was able to find some good references of the building from a distance but not much in the way of close street level stuff. In addition, there are two buildings separated by a narrow street with arches running across that make up the whole complex. Well, in 1895, the smaller of these two buildings did not exist. So I get to add the fun task of editing that building out. But it's good because I have to really put myself there. It takes place in a very specific place and time and it's up to me to stay true to that.
NRAMA: Well, finally then - what scene in #1 are you most proud of so far?
AC: Well, if I told you that I'd be giving the best part of the story away. But when readers get to the climax of issue one they'll know.

How the Greek tragedy came to the Middle East
Long term monetary policies put in place several years ago contributed to the European sovereign crisis that started a few years ago. Greece was the most hit country; experts raised fears that the country would not be able to finance her increasing debt. International Monetary Fund and the European Union bailed out the country twice in May 2010 and in July 2011 that concluded early 2012. However, the European debt crisis didn't stop there; other countries were also bailed out from their debt including Ireland November 2010 and Portugal in Mid 2011.
In spite of these bailouts the Euro zone still faces economic difficulties. This crisis extended to other regions with its effects felt in every country especially due to globalization. The Middle East is among the developing economies, the crisis in Greece was much felt in the changes in prices of various commodities. The Middle East countries which include Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar being the major oil exporters had predicted economic growth rate of 5% in 2011. Oil prices had increased by 31.6% in 2011 hence the growth rate was achievable.
The Euro zone crisis however, decreased the global demand for oil this slowed economic growth in the region. The oil prices remained considerably high in 2011 due to the unrest in the MENA region which limited the oil supply. Global oil demand will continue to decrease if European debt crisis continue, oil prices will fall affecting the economic growth of the Middle East. This region will feel the Greece debt crisis through trade more than in the financial sector. The Middle East trade will significantly be affected with a fall in commodity prices, the exports market will considerably fall aswell. This will lead to a decrease in economic growth and eventually lead to unemployment and poverty in the Middle East region.
If the crisis in Greece continues it would severely affect the Middle East economies especially the oil prices as well as demand. People living in here, especially the low income household will be severely affected. The poverty levels in the region are expected to rise from the current average of 19% of those living below the two dollar score. These countries rely on oil exports heavily and the crisis effects on trade may severely affect their economies. The Middle East economies will be hit by a decrease in tourism, trade and direct investment from Greece and other Euro zone countries. It had been underestimated how fast economies can collapse, a crippling oil supplies can easily crash the Middle East economies.
The crises in Greece not only lead to a trade imbalance in Greece but also in the Middle East. The global economy is recovering as a result of a review in the fiscal policies over the past few years. Most economies are back on track registering growth experts arguing that the Euro zone crisis has been contained. This is however not the case due to reducing competitiveness and increasing costs in the developed countries. Inflation in the developing region like Middle East might spark a huge crisis very soon.

They witness atrocities most of us cannot imagine. They make perilous journeys, often alone, through countries where violence is ubiquitous and food is scarce. They make their way to refugee camps. They receive the good news that they will be resettled in the United States, and arrive, ready to embrace a new life.
And then they meet their next set of obstacles:
Hate mail from strangers. Dilapidated housing arrangements often in violent and drug-ridden urban ghettos. Language barriers that make it hard to find employment or access government services. Ratios of one ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher to 100 students in underfunded public schools. Thousands of dollars in resettlement debt coming due four to eight months after arrival. One family of nine arrived owing $12,000 in airfare for their flight to the US from the refugee camp. Impediments to starting new businesses. The list goes on.
Dayton, Ohio, has decided to be different.
In an unanimous vote in early October, the Dayton City Commission passed a resolution known as the "Welcome Dayton Plan." Recognizing that immigrants have the potential to breathe new life into struggling cities, Dayton is intentionally welcoming immigrants –with a plan of action that will make the city friendly to newcomers in a whole host of ways.
The plan creates a "Global Marketplace" business district and provides for identification cards that refugees can use to obtain business licenses. It addresses exploitation by landlords. Refugees forced to sign leases without benefit of translation upon arrival often have found themselves paying two-thirds of their public benefit for substandard housing. It removes language barriers. And it includes immigrants in community boards, encouraging their civic participation and giving them a voice in city governance. Implementation is expected to be put in place in the coming months.
Staffers from AFSC 's Dayton Refugee Justice Program campaigned hard for the resolution, speaking before the commission, sharing examples of hate mail sent to refugees from as far away as Cleveland and Cincinnati, and serving on the task force that drafted the plan. In fact, AFSC's innovative soccer tournaments, launched last year to build community among refugees from different countries, provided the model for a city-wide soccer tournament included in "Welcome Dayton."
For three years, AFSC's program has given refugees from different countries, ethnicities and religions a safe space in which to come together, overcome their fears, and support one another. The inadequacy of housing, education, and services for refugees has long been obvious. So too has the potential for these newcomers to stabilize neighborhoods, launch microenterprises and revitalize their communities.
"These are strong people. Once they come here, they just want to make it," says Migwe Kimemia, program director. The city of Dayton has just made that easier.

If there is one thing on which all experienced goose hunters agree, it is that concealment, more than any other factor, can make or break a goose hunt. "In most cases when geese don't finish, it's not because of your decoys. It's because they are seeing you or recognizing your blinds," Wise attests. "It doesn't matter how badly geese want to be in the field. If you aren't completely covered up in a natural manner, you are going to have a bad day. But the good news is there is no reason why hunters shouldn't be fully concealed. It's something that you can control. There are plenty of things in goose hunting that you can't control, so if there are elements of a hunt that you can control—like concealment—you should take full advantage of it and tip the odds in your favor."
Whenever possible, Wettish uses natural cover for concealment. "Layout blinds are great inventions, but you don't have to use one every time you go goose hunting," he says. "You can save yourself a lot of effort by simply wearing a face mask and hunkering down in cattails beside a pond or in a brush pile along a fencerow."
Wise has used similar tactics with equal success. "I have literally killed thousands of geese out of what I call a wire blind," he says. "It consists of two panels of hog wire, six pieces of rebar, and a PVC-frame top that wires onto the back of the blind and flips back. It costs hardly anything, a kid can make one in about 10 minutes, and you can easily fold it up and throw it in the back of a pickup truck when you're done. The key is to thoroughly cover the blind with local vegetation by weaving it through the hog wire. The blind's only limitation is that you have to hunt on the edge of a field or a fencerow. A lot of people think you have to hunt in the middle of a field, but if birds like the look of your decoys and can't see the blind, they will often come right in. They just think the geese have shifted over to one side of the field on that particular morning."
Lynch, who prefers to hunt from an Avery Powerhunter blind, agrees that the key to concealment is to blend in with your surroundings. "If you are in a field with sparse stubble, mud your blind real well and put just enough stubble in the straps to match your surroundings," he advises. "If you are hunting in thick stubble, don't hesitate to cover up your blind with stalks. Another thing people neglect to do, especially early in the season, is to add some green stalks to the cover on their blinds. Many hunters don't do this because green isn't thought of as a fall color, but many fields have a lot of green vegetation in them, whether it's volunteer crop early in the season or winter grasses later in the season."
Another common mistake made by many goose hunters, according to Lynch, is hunting in groups that are too large to conceal. "It's much easier to hide hunters in smaller groups," he explains. "Instead of hunting with six guys, split up into two groups of three or three groups of two. This will even work in the same field. Geese often break up into family groups when they feed, so this will look very natural to the birds. It will also allow you to cover a larger area of the field, which will in increase your chances of decoying birds."
With Canada goose populations on the rise and long seasons and liberal bag limits in effect throughout much of North America, there has never been a better time to take up goose hunting. And as the aforementioned experts clearly attest, it's easy to get into the game without breaking your back or your bank account.

Patent and Trade Office
Last month the Federal Trade Commission issued a report that acknowledged important problems in the U.S. Patent system as it affects software. The government doesn't do that every day, so that's good news. The FTC report also suggested some reforms that could mitigate some of those problems.
The serious problem of proliferating bad software patents was not solved by the Supreme Court's Bilski decision, but now it's looking like it may be part of the solution. The early case law applying Bilski is much more encouraging than expected. The new Bilski test focuses on whether an... Read more

Labor: It's up to the next Administration to hammer out tax reform
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by Dominican Today
Jun 22 2012 18:02PM
Dominican Today
- SANTO DOMINGO- Labor union leader Rafael Abreu believes it's currently unwise to implement a comprehensive tax reform, and instead wait for the new administration to take office and agree on a fiscal pact which includes taxes on large holdings and capital gains. Abreu, president of the Federation of Unions (CNUS), on Wednesday said his sector prefers to wait for the new authorities to see if they'll instil confidence, so society sheds its fear of a sweeping tax reform, since in his view all they've done is further burden the poorest. Interviewed by diariolibre. com, Abreu stressed that a fiscal reform is not prudent now. "This must stem from the confidence that the new government creates in society and it has never been clearly explained what the comprehensive tax reform is, because so far the reforms have been a burden to consumption and that affects employees. " He said a true fiscal reform will be reached only when large holdings and capital gains are taxed, as in other nations. Read original at

By Ms. Amanda Rominiecki RDECOM CERDEC Public AffairsFebruary 4, 2013
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. -- An Army engineer will be honored as the Black Engineer of the Year, or BEYA, Most Promising Engineer - Government category at the BEYA STEM Conference in Washington, D.C., Feb. 9.
Moses K. Mingle, a supervisory electronics engineer for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command's communications-electronics center, or CERDEC, was named most promising engineer for his contributions in the field of electronic warfare countermeasures.
Mingle serves as branch chief for the Electronic Warfare Systems, Ground Branch in CERDEC's Intelligence & Information Warfare Directorate, or I2WD. His work focuses on the design, development, testing, evaluation, fielding and support of radio frequency countermeasure sensors and systems used throughout the world to defeat improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.
"His technical capabilities, insights into the problem and innovative solutions that he has proposed and implemented along with his team have been extraordinary and very successful in dealing with the problem [of IEDs], thus saving numerous lives," said Ralph Troisio, I2WD Electronic Warfare Air/Ground Survivability division chief who nominated Mingle for the award.
The BEYA award recognizes "technology leaders for their career achievements and their efforts in strengthening the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) pipeline" by inspiring young students of color to pursue careers in STEM areas, as stated by the BEYA website.
"This award speaks highly of not only Mr. Mingle's dedication to his work and the greater Army mission as a civilian, but his expertise and leadership that are invaluable to CERDEC," said Henry Muller, I2WD director. "His work has helped save countless lives. He serves as a role model to his peers and young students striving for a quality education and a meaningful career."
Born in Ghana, Mingle moved to the United States at the age of 10 to follow his parents who had moved to New York in search of a better life for themselves and their children. Mingle's uncle was an engineer and from him he found inspiration.
At the age of eleven, he took apart a broken VCR in an attempt to fix it. His uncle told him that is what engineers do -- fix problems, create solutions, build things to make life better -- and in that moment Mingle knew he wanted to be an engineer.
To get out of the Bronx and set an example for his younger siblings, Mingle focused on his education and later went on to receive a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from Fairleigh Dickinson University, a master's degree in electrical engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology, and a master's degree in business administration from the University of Phoenix.
"From my own experience, I know how very important it is to promote STEM to the next generation," said Mingle. "My uncle was an example for me and now young students can see what I've been able to achieve. We must keep STEM education alive and prospering."
Mingle cites his grandparents, who raised him in Ghana and his parents when he moved to the United States, as those who taught him the value of discipline and respect, shaping him and his 11-year career as federal employee.
"I've never been a Soldier, but being able to get on the phone with a Soldier, hear their needs and work to meet them -- it's a great feeling," said Mingle. "You know you're doing something meaningful."
In addition to responsibilities at CERDEC, Mingle serves as the Chief Engineer for Product Manager Counter-Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare, or PdM CREW through Program Executive Office Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors, or PEO IEW&S.
"Mr. Mingle exemplifies the quality of an outstanding, dedicated leader who possesses personal integrity and a thoughtful communicative style," said Lt. Col. Bruce A. Ryba, of PdM CREW, who works closely with Mingle. "I am an ardent admirer of his giving spirit, creative talents and gifts, as well as the poise he radiates no matter how demanding or pressing the situation."
"While an award like this recognizes me, it just as much recognizes those around me: my team, those above me, and everyone who works with me," said Mingle. "I'm grateful to all those who support me. This is an award for my team, for I2WD, for CERDEC, for RDECOM and for the U.S. Army."


text: 11. Use of technology: Technology has revolutionised the practice of immigration law probably as much as any other area in the legal profession. Does your attorney use email? Does the attorney have the latest research and case management software? Does the attorney provide electronic newsletters and email alerts to inform clients of breaking news? Does the firm have an extranet that allows you to log in to a private and secure website to see what is happening on your case? Does the firm file applications electronically? Lawyers who master technology deliver legal services with better quality and can often leverage technology to deliver legal services less expensively.

Killing Bono
This film / event belongs to our archive
and was part of festival 2011.
Dir.: Nick Hamm | In all 114 min
In the shadow of Mozart was Salieri. In the shadow of U2 was Neil ... and his brother Ivan. The latter could have been part of U2, had it not been for a little lie, which had great consequences. Neil knows he is a musical genius. When The Hype need a new band member, Neil doesn't hesitate to reject the offer on his brother Ivan's behalf, without informing Ivan about it. Neil in fact, wants his brother in his own band. When The Hype changes its name to U2 and starts to become tremendously popular, Neil sees only one option: to become even bigger than U2. And when the rock'n'roll dream cracks and the contours of a future in U2's shadow appear, a villainous plan is hatched ... 'Killing Bono'.

- Buffalo bone fertilizer — forgotten days of agriculture
- Bone fertilizer
- Market demand first devoured buffalo hides and meat — and then bone.
There was once a source of agricultural fertilizer considered too abundant to ever run out. It lasted all of 20 years.
When America's first transcontinental tracks divided the country in 1869, the railway spine also served to split the buffalo herd in half. Just two years later, Josiah Mooar, a Great Plains buffalo hunter, filled an order of 500 hides for a British tannery. He shipped 57 surplus hides to his brother (John Mooar) in New York City. Wild West (pdf) describes what happened next: "… advance word of the novel cargo reached New York, and John was beset by curious onlookers — including several fur traders. He sold the hides nearly on the spot and soon sent his brother an order for 2,000 more. The tanners had discovered that buffalo hide made ideal machinery belting, crucial in the midst of a burgeoning industrial age."
The stage was set for a buffalo trade explosion — and it was a full-bore slaughter of historical proportions. From a herd size of possibly over 10 million in 1871, buffalo numbers melted away to several hundred by 1889. In a few short years, the plains and prairies shifted from the tremors of a living highway to the stillness of a bone yard.
Market demand first devoured buffalo hides and meat — and then bone.
A massive bone harvest was under way. Wagons or handcarts — the bones were hauled to rail lines by the ton, and piled in stacks, "… mounds often 15 feet high and twice as wide, stretching as far as a mile."

In many areas, farmland literally had to be cleared of buffalo bones. Bones removed from grasslands made for easier plowing, and there was money to be made as the same time. From Steven Rinella, author of American Buffalo: "For many, buffalo bones were the first cash crop to rise up out of their newly acquired dirt."
From Bloomberg: "... homesteaders gathered the buffalo bones. It was easy work: Children could do it. Carted to town, a ton of bones fetched a few dollars. Sent to rendering plants and furnaces in the big industrial cities, that same ton was worth between $18 and $27. Boiled, charred, crushed or powdered, it was worth as much as $60."
A mix of U.S. industries was quick to capitalize on the skeletons. From American Buffalo: "Makers of fine bone china began to purchase the best of the bones, those that weren't too dried or weathered … Other big consumers of quality buffalo bones were the sugar, wine, and vinegar industries; they had been using wood ash to neutralize acids and clarify liquids, but in the early nineteenth century they found that bone ash did a better job of making sugar more shiny and wine less cloudy."

Survival International has been speaking to Bushmen from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve as they celebrate drinking water from the Mothomelo borehole for the first time in nine years. It marks a significant step towards their full return to their ancestral lands following a landmark court ruling in 2006.
Despite winning Botswana's longest running court case over four years ago, the Bushmen's fundamental right to water was only recognized this January by Botswana's appeal court. Now, with the help of the NGO Vox United, the Mothomelo borehole or well has been re-drilled and a solar pump installed.
Bushmen are already returning to the area and have been bathing in the water. It is their first opportunity to use the borehole since 2002, when it was capped by the Botswana government. The Bushmen were forbidden from re-opening it, and many were forced to collect water from self-made sand depressions and melons.
Survival believes the Bushmen were evicted from their land due to its rich diamond reserves. De Beers, one of the world's largest diamond companies held the mining concession at Gope, a Bushman community for 25 years. However following the negative publicity from Survival's campaign it sold its diamond deposit at Gope to Gem Diamonds in 2007.
Gem Diamonds is now developing its mine within the Kalahari Reserve, whilst funding projects to re-instate and drill new boreholes. It financed Mothomelo's revival, working in partnership with Vox United. Gem also announced its commitment to hand three new boreholes over to the Bushmen by the end of last month, but they remain unusable.
Survival's Director Stephen Corry said today, 'Access to water ends nine long and thirsty years for the Bushmen. But, it's now important to focus on bringing water to the other communities in the reserve as well.'
Act now to help the Bushmen
Your support is vital if the Bushmen are to survive. There are many ways you can help.
- Urge Botswana's President to respect the Bushmen's rights in time for the country's 50th birthday.
- Donate to the Bushman campaign (and other Survival campaigns).

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The Jaguars swept a non-conference doubleheader at Lake Olmstead Stadium Sunday afternoon as they beat the Lindenwood Lions 6-2 and 8-3.
Senior JD Sabo started the game for GRU Augusta (7-11) with a left-field line single and consecutive doubles from senior Jeff Rice and sophomore Hunter Boose put the Jaguars up 2-0 in the first. Lindenwood left-handed starter Zac Pearman gave up two more runs in the third, when a bases-loaded error from his defense scored one and a sacrifice fly to left center scored the other for a 4-0 Jaguar lead.
Ryan Light ripped a single up the middle that scored one for the Lions' first run of the game, but in the bottom of the fourth the Jags poured on two more after Boose's second double of game and a Connor Gilbert single. Up 6-1, senior starter Clint Echols picked off his third runner of the game to escape an inning and keep his team on top.
Echols tossed eight strikeouts in 6.0 innings and allowed five hits for one run before he was relieved by Will Robertson in the seventh. Echols (2-0) got the win, while freshman Tristan Jones earned the save in 1.1 innings. Sabo and Boose each had three hits, while Connor Gilbert had two and Rice and Loyd one each.
In game two, the Jags took their second, first-inning lead of the day off Rice's sacrifice fly to left field that scored Sabo. Left-handed sophomore Frank Warren got the game two start as the Lions' offense went three-up, three-down in the first two innings. The Jags gave Warren a 3-0 lead into the fourth, but a Ryan Light solo homerun put the Lions on the board.
The Jaguars plated two more in the fifth when Sabo hit a double to score Reydel Gonzalez from first and Chase Loyd singled off the Lindenwood pitcher for a 5-1 GRU lead. Warren gave up his second solo homer of the game, this one to Nick Kolley for a 5-2 game. The Jaguars totaled nine hits and used four Lindenwood errors to build an 8-3 final as Jamie Suggs closed out the ninth for the Jags.
Warren (2-1) got the win, while Rice went 3-for-3 in game two with four RBI and Sabo was 2-for-5 with two runs and an RBI. The Jags host Paine College this Tuesday, March 4 for a 6:00 p.m. non-conference first pitch.

As far as we were aware last year they were available, however I would sooner just buy a new projector.
Also, if you are able to CIP, I would find one on Ebay and just ask the seller how many hours are on the bulb and/or projector.
RESO-A saved us the costs of buying lamps since we got brand new projectors.
Hope that helps:)

Nissan Planning Fast Charger for Leaf EV
- Jun 02, 2010 2:50 PM EST
- [num] Comments
New details on the Leaf EV: Nissan's director of product planning said that the company's DC fast charger, already unveiled in Japan for $17,000 (U.S.), could soon head to the U.S. and cost less to boot, according to AutoblogGreen.
That price sounds very high--more than half of the price of the entire Leaf EV itself--but it's tens of thousands less than what similar fast chargers have cost for other vehicles, the report said.
In addition, Perry aid that all Leaf EVs will ship with a 25-foot long "emergency" charging cable that will feature the car's J-1772 connector on one end, and a standard three-prong connector on the other end.
That plug can fit into any U.S. standard household outlet. But it's not something you'll want to use often, as it could take over 20 hours to charge the car this way, according to the report.

Locomotory behavior in a fully developed and mature organism.
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cerebellar Purkinje cell layer over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The Purkinje cell layer lies just underneath the molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex. It contains the neuronal cell bodies of the Purkinje cells that are arranged side by side in a single layer. Candelabrum interneurons are vertically oriented between the Purkinje cells. Purkinje neurons are inhibitory and provide the output of the cerebellar cortex through axons that project into the white matter. Extensive dendritic trees from the Purkinje cells extend upward in a single plane into the molecular layer where they synapse with parallel fibers of granule cells.
A process that leads to a temporary increase in postsynaptic potential due to the flow of positively charged ions into the postsynaptic cell. The flow of ions that causes an EPSP is an excitatory postsynaptic current (EPSC) and makes it easier for the neuron to fire an action potential.
Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of dendrite development.
Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of dendrite development.
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of a series of reactions, mediated by the intracellular serine/threonine kinase protein kinase C, which occurs as a result of a single trigger reaction or compound.
The process that organizes a synapse so that it attains its fully functional state. Synaptic maturation plays a critical role in the establishment of effective synaptic connections in early development.
