A dozen firefighters and at least four trucks battled a blaze at an abandoned house on Central Street Saturday.
"It was going over next door, smoking, smoking, smoking," said neighbor Brigitte Winters.
Winters lives two houses down from the house that caught fire. She was home when the flames broke out.
"I was just frightened because it looked like it was going to come over there and catch my house, so I was really upset and didn't know if anyone was going to get hurt," she said.
A neighbor said this was the third house to catch fire on this block in a few months. Last week, a fire ignited on Magnolia Street. Investigators said they believe electrical issues were to blame.
In March, Terrence Jones' house caught fire. Jones said the fire's damage was extensive.
"They had to go and redo all the interior of the house," Jones said.
Jackson Fire officials said the cause of that fire was also electrical. However, the house that caught fire Saturday has no electricity and has been abandoned for years.
Investigators said they don't know what caused the fire Saturday. No one was injured in the fire.

The CBD is a tube connecting the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas to the small intestine that helps deliver fluid to aid in digestion.
The CBD exploration is a procedure used to see if a stone or some obstruction is blocking the flow of bile from your liver and gallbladder to your intestine.
If a stone or obstruction is blocking the CBD, bile can back up into the liver causing jaundice. Jaundice is when the skin and white of the eyes become yellow.
The CBD might become infected and require emergency surgery if the stone or blockage is not removed. This procedure can be done during the removal of the gall bladder.
An alternative would be an ERCP (Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram) or not having treatment. You should discuss these options with your doctor.
You will be required to stay in the hospital for one to four days. You will also be asked to avoid strenuous activity for four to six days, and will require a follow-up visit with your doctor.
The surgery should alleviate your discomfort and will decrease the chance of infection and jaundice.
As with any surgery there are risks, although minimal:
Immediately call your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms:

Police say there were four young children playing on a swingset along Palermo Lane when a car pulled up to the curb, and out stepped a nude man making a lewd gesture.
"This is what shatters innocence in children," said Marianne Monk.
Police say one of the children, an 11-year-old boy, rushed the younger ones inside while the man got away. Neighbors are still shaken up.
"Making sure last night that the car doors were locked, the doors to the house were all locked, because it gave them a false sense of security where this is somewhere they've always felt so safe," said Monk.
For now, police say they'll be stepping up patrols throughout the area.
"This is the backyard for this house and these kids. This is something that we're putting a significant amount of effort in to find this person and take care of him. The parents in this area are obviously on alert right now. we have had already a few calls of suspicious vehicles in the area. we have obviously picked up our patrols in the area as well," said Lt. Chris Van Brackel of the Lexington Police.
Police say the suspect and vehicle description don't match any other incidents in the area.

Focus Features
January 31: Zac Efron in That Awkward Moment. Zac kicks off the year strong with his bro comedy, in which he and his two best guy friends make a pact to stay single when he gets dumped. First question: Who in the world would dump Zac Efron?
Universal Pictures
February 14: Alex Pettyfer in Endless Love. This romantic film is a mix between Romeo & Juliet and a Nicholas Sparks book, where two not-so-similar teens strike up a romance and their parents try to stop it. We'll see anything that involves Alex and a makeout sesh.
Summit Entertainment
March 21: Theo James in Divergent. Theo takes on the role of Four in the famous YA book series' movie version, where he plays Tris (Shailene Woodley's) trainer and protector when the world tries to get rid of her unique kind. So yes, ladies, Theo is kind of a hero, too.
April 4: Chris Evans in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Chris reprises his role as the hottie in that military suit and fights against an all-new rival in the already much talked about new Marvel film.
May 2: Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Andrew (left, please disregard that guy on the right of this pic) slaps on his spidey-suit for the sequel in which he must fight mean villains put against him by Oscorp. Emma Stone will be back, too!
Columbia Pictures
June 13: Channing Tatum in 22 Jump Street. Channing (and Jonah Hill) play cops who go undercover at a college (since they did it in high school in 21 Jump Street), and if Channing's character Jenko ends up hooking up with a hot sorority girl we wouldn't hate it.
Warner Brothers Pictures
July 25: Channing Tatum in Jupiter Ascending. What, you thought one summer movie starring Channing was enough? Blasphemy. In this action flick, Channing doesn't play a human but he still looks hot considering A) He's Channing Tatum and B) His character, Caine, is the one who sets out to rescue Mila Kunis' character from evil. HOT.
August 15: Alexander Skarsgard in The Giver. Sorry, ladies, there's no pics yet of Alexander in this film since it's not even finished filming yet, but remember that time that he went naked on True Blood? It probably won't happen again considering this book is set in the Holocaust, but hey, a girl can dream.
20th Century Fox
September 19: Dylan O'Brien in The Maze Runner. Teen Wolf's Dylan O'Brien takes the lead role in this post-apocalyptic film about a boy whose memory gets erased and who must escape a maze with fellow prisoners. Sounds...sexy?
20th Century Fox
October 3: Ben Affleck in Gone Girl; Unfortunately this is the only pic we have so far in Ben in this film, based on the book about a woman who disappears on her wedding anniversary. But don't you worry because come fall, Benny boy and this movie are going to be the only thing people are talking about. Calling it.
November 24: Liam Hemsworth in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. Sure, Josh Hutcherson is a hottie too, but Liam finally gets the most well-deserved screen time in the franchise's third film, as he helps his bestie (and crush) Katniss Everdeen help lead the mass rebellion in the capital.

Aitor Throup is an English designer with quite the impressive Curriculum Vitae. A graduate of the prestigious Royal College of Art, his senior year collection was titled "When Football Hooligans Become Hindu Gods" and informed by brands like C.P. Company and Stone Island in addition to Indian mythology.
He later went on to work for those brands, and is known for his unique illustration style and unconventional design approach, eschewing the common practice of releasing collections per season in favor of special projects. However, it was his 2009 redesign of England's home football jerseys for Umbro that brought him into prominence.
Focusing on a tailored fit and designed with the players' body movements during the game in mind, the kits were a hit for their balance of tradition, aesthetics, and performance. His most recent capsule collection for Umbro, the Archive Research Project, delves into the 87-year history of the brand with key pieces inspired by heritage but revolutionized through modern construction and design.
Complex talked with Aitor about his design process and signature illustration style, as well as what he hoped to accomplish with the Archive Research Project.

Seller's Market - Comics Hotter Than Ever in Hollywood
by Vaneta Rogers
Date: 06 August 2008 Time: 11:55 AM ET
Hollywood Still Loves Comic Books
As 2008 comic book inspired movies topped the $1 billion domestic box office mark this past weekend, it comes as no surprise that Hollywood current fascination with comics is showing no signs of abating.And while superheroes like DC's Batman and Marvel's Iron Man are currently driving box office receipts to new record levels, the reach of the comics industry is going beyond crime-fighters and capes. With more than 40 comic book movies in production and dozens more optioned, Hollywood's recent attraction toward even non-superhero comics is becoming more and more obvious to industry insiders. "Every book I put out at least gets looked at now," said Steve Niles, the writer whose 30 Days of Night comic was adapted into last year's horror film of the same name. "It used to be that, if you had five books out, there might be one that got attention. Now, Hollywood just looks at anything coming out of comics that has movie potential."
Tomorrow, we look at what effect Hollywood's attention is having on comics book, and what the state of the industry might mean to the future of adaptations on the big screen.Related Stories: "Lost" is Found the Comic-Con 2008

BELPRE - A second leak of solvents has been discovered at Kraton Polymers.
Company spokesman Mike White said more information would be forthcoming, but currently the material is going into the company's retention pond. That's where the first leak, discovered around 3:15 a.m. Thursday, discharged before eventually reaching Davis Creek, which drains into the Ohio River.
The solvents come from a piece of equipment that cools other devices. White said the recent cold is a factor in the leaks.

The Butter Battle Book
by Dr. Seuss
The Butter Battle Book Lines 44-70 Summary
This Means War
- Grandpa turns—tail between his legs—and flees. He takes his broken switch with him and runs to Chief Yookeroo.
- It's unclear at this point whether the Chief was already involved or if Grandpa and the Border Patrol were acting independently. The Chief doesn't seem to need much of an excuse jump in, though.
- The first (and only) shot was fired, and there are no do-overs in this war.
- Chief Yookeroo is quick to blame the Zooks for what will become an all-out arms race saying, "those Zooks will be sorry they started this game" (47).
- He then gives Grandpa new threads and a new "Triple-Sling Jigger" (52). It's hard to tell which he's more excited about.
- The new toys pump Grandpa back up, making him feel "much bigger" (53).
- He returns to "the Wall with great vim and great vigor" (54) and threatens VanItch.
- Once again, Grandpa feels safe because he has the bigger stick.
- Now it's VanItch's turn to run away, but he'll be back.
- It isn't long until VanItch comes back, and he's got new clothes and a new toy, too. It's a defensive weapon called a "Jigger-Rock Snatchem" that sends the rocks that Grandpa shoots "back just as quick as we catch'em" (66-67).
- But check this out: VanItch's weapon requires Grandpa to shoot first, and it makes Grandpa's weapon useless.

While most people take a vacation to relax, part of a successful vacation is excitement. You can only lounge by the pool for so long before you get itchy feet and want to do something that stimulates the senses. For your next vacation destination, consider Townsville, located in Queensland, Australia. The 5 top reasons to visit Townsville are easy to see.
Great Barrier Reef
A deep sea diver's paradise the Great Barrier Reef puts on a show unlike anywhere else in the world. Composed of over 2,900 separate reefs and 900 islands covering over 2,600 kilometer the reef covers an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers populated by a variety of fish and underwater vegetation.
Magnetic Island
Eight kilometers offshore from Townsville is Magnetic Island. The island covers fifty two square kilometers of mountainous terrain and is home to a small community of permanent residents. The island offers fishing, boating and sailing, parks with an abundance of wildlife, art galleries and much more entertainment. A ferry runs between Townsville and Magnetic Island seven days a week
Up for a little adventure? Put on hiking shoes and visit the rugged terrain of Paluma Range National Park's rainforest, about an hour's drive from Townsville. Keep that camera handy to capture panoramic views, and the rainforest's unique vegetation, wildlife and bird life.
Coral Reef Aquarium
If you can't partake in deep sea diving or even swim, a visit to the Coral Reef Aquarium is the next best thing. The aquarium offers an ever changing view of the Great Barrier Reef and you'll get to see thousands of fish without getting wet. The aquarium is located on Flinders Street East, just a short walk from Townsville.
And then there the nightlife of Townsville of course. After a long day of relaxing on the beach, swimming among the fishes or hiking in the rainforest, kick up your heels in one of the many clubs Townsville has to offer and dance the night away until dawn.
These are the 5 top reasons to visit Townsville, but there are many more. If there's one thing Townville is good at, it's entertaining its locals and tourists.
For a great visit to Townsville, book and stay at Mariners North oceanfront apartments

I'On To Host House of Design & Boutique for Charleston Symphony Orchestra
I'On Hosts Second House of Design & Boutique To Raise Funds for Charleston Symphony Orchestra
MT. PLEASANT, S.C.ÔÇöThe Charleston Symphony Orchestra League (CSOL) has chosen an IÔÇÖOn home for a second year as the location of the Charleston Symphony House of Design & Boutique, which will run Oct. 5-21. Last year, the showhouse, sponsored by ALKA Construction and IÔÇÖOn Realty, helped raise $40,000 to help keep the orchestra afloat.
Located at 59 Sanibel Street and available for sale for $1,375,000, the three-story, five-bedroom, five-and-half-bath home built by ALKA Construction features a number of interesting details, including a large, dramatic accent wall in the master bath with glass mosaic tiles, huge shower room, custom ironwork, detailed brick flooring in the mud room and breakfast area, and a finished carriage house with a full bath within the walled courtyard. Charleston interior designers Regina Garcia of Regina Garcia Design and Jennifer Patterson of Terra Designs will design the interior to reflect a reinterpretation old European style blended with the home's modern features.
In addition to viewing the home's interiors, guests at the showhouse will be able to purchase the designer furnishings, items in the CSOL's popular boutique and art on display by the Community of IÔÇÖOn Artists. Special events at the showhouse include a wine and tapas night, Oct. 18, for which there are limited tickets available and the Charleston County School of the Arts fall music ensembles, Oct. 14.
ÔÇťLast year the League created a new fundraiser, collaborating with ALKA Construction and IÔÇÖOn Realty,ÔÇŁ says Gwen Gilmore, president of the CSOL. ÔÇťThe success of this new fundraiser enabled us to exceed our projected donation to the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and enabled a brighter future for the CSO, ending their fiscal year in the black. At the end of the season, it is rewarding knowing our hard efforts will continue to keep the music playing in Charleston.ÔÇŁ
The showhouse will be open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Mon.-Sat. and 1-4 p.m. Sun. Tickets are available for purchase at the door for $10. For more information, please call (843) 723-0020 or visit www.csolinc.org.

Philosophy of Teaching:
Being a former student at Baylor serves as a background for my love for Baylor and her students. What I experienced during my undergraduate years provided an excellent preparation for my success in the public schools as a early childhood through second grade teacher. In 1991, I felt a calling out of the public school classroom and back to Baylor to further my knowledge of the art and science of teaching. It was a step of faith and obedience to the Lord's calling for my life. As the Lord opened doors one-by-one and I took each step of faith, I realized that the Lord's ultimate goal, as well as the passion of my life, would be to teach at Baylor. It is an honor and a privalege to serve our students with the Baylor faculty.
Research Interests:
I am especially interested in modeling best teaching practices with what I would like for my education students who are preparing for their gifted and talented certificate to do in their own classrooms. Effectiveness of my own teaching is an area of my research interests.
I am also interested in curriculum writing and implementation, and research for their effectiveness in my classroom and the classrooms of my education students preparing for their gifted and talented certificate.

While most of us have put Christmas away for the year, Erin Huffstetler is just getting warmed up. For 2014.
For years, the Tennessee-based "frugal living" writer has made it a mission to spend less than $100 on Christmas -- for a family of four, plus gifts for teachers, parents and extended relatives. That amount also includes a fair amount spent on holiday foods and decorations.
Last month, she tallied up everything she'd spent on Christmas 2013. Total: $99.70.
How does she do it? With a mixture of year-round bargain hunting, couponing and frugal shortcuts, enough so that she can buy brand-names and new electronics at deep discounts.
For Huffstetler, 33, it's a lifestyle and a full-time job. A mother of two daughters, ages 9 and 11, she writes a regular frugal-living column on About.com and hosts her own site, MyFrugalHome.com.
To find out how this "frugalista" accomplishes a $100 Christmas, the Sacramento Bee spoke with her earlier this month by phone. Here's what she shared:
Start in January: Among her family's favorite shopping venues are yard sales and thrift shops, especially in January.
"This is really the best time of year to hit thrift stores," which are "overwhelmed with year-end inventory," she said. "Everyone makes their end-of-year donations to get that tax write-off, so they show up on Dec. 31 with tons of stuff."
Post-holiday sales aren't just for Christmas wrap and stocking stuffers. At this year's 75-percent-off holiday clearance sale at Target, for instance, she stocked up on 22 packages of peppermint Oreos for 89 cents a bag. In the next few months, they'll go into school lunches as a special treat.
Make it a habit to check the clearance racks, sales bins or "endcaps" (the end-of-the-aisle discount spots) in stores you regularly visit. "It's hit or miss. You may not find something every time, but when you do, stick it in a closet, and it's there when you need it. It's such a simple thing but saves a huge amount on our budget."
DVDs, electronics for less: This year, her girls wanted the new DreamWorks' animated movie, "The Croods," which was selling for $17.99 at Target. What she paid: $2.48. Here's how: On Amazon.com, she spotted a "flash sale," a brief, minutes-only sale designed to attract quick-buying customers, that offered the movie for $7.48. She printed out the Amazon page and took it to her local Target, which matched the price and let her use a $5-off coupon she'd picked up online. Bottom line: She got the DVD for roughly 86 percent off the original price.
Best bargains? On her MyFrugalHome.com blog, Huffstetler posted photos of her family's 2013 holiday gifts. Among them: a blue-striped tank top from a J.C. Penney clearance rack for $1.97; a $3 art portfolio case, found at a yard sale; a Transformer action figure ($59 new) for her nephew, scooped up at a garage sale for $1.99.
Groceries, too: All the major holidays -- Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas -- are prime time to stock up on discounts for traditional foods, whether it's hams and turkeys or baking ingredients, like chocolate chips, flour and canned pumpkin. Using a coupon matchup site tied to her local grocery store (Kroger), Huffstetler buys on-sale items, paired with coupons from her Sunday newspaper.

Virtual Ride
RestrictionsThe limestone gets really soapy when it's wet.
Overview1:35 average time for 8.7 miles. Details
A typical rider should be able to do this loop in under 2 hours. It makes for a great after work ride if you want something more technical.
Drawbacks: It can get really hot, there are often rattlesnakes, and a lot of features will take a very skilled rider to clean - expect to walk some of the trail.
Note: There are several ways to do this ride. Another popular option is to park at the Stegosaurus Parking near I-70, which puts you at the bottom of Dakota Ridge trail, and skips Zorro.
Need To KnowWatch for hikers on the Red Rocks side. The climb on the North side of Dakota Ridge is all bentonite clay, if it has rained or snowed it will need time to dry or you'll have a mess on your hands.
DescriptionStart in the Alameda parking lot for the Zorro trail or Green Mountain. Warm up on the Zorro trail climb, try the stairs at the top, they are a prelude to the waterbars up ahead.
Head South (Left) at the intersection of Zorro and Dakota Ridge trail.
Get ready for a difficult, steep, technical climb with off-camber rocks, big moves over water bars, all with your heart jumping out of your chest. Then as the trail heads downhill, you'll be negotiating 2 foot drops while you try to take in the sharp drop off on both sides of the view. When you hit the road, keep heading south (right)(uphill) the trail picks up again on the left just before the top. After a short climb, be ready for a fast descent.
Watch for traffic, cross the road to the right and head into Red Rocks. The trail picks up again on your right, about 1/4 mile up the road after you enter the park. The Red Rocks trail is much different from Dakota Ridge. You'll find yourself climbing steadily on smooth dirt. This trail is often full of hikers, so watch for them, but you won't be moving very quickly as the climb gets fairly steep in places.
As you near the top of the climb, you'll start seeing giant Red Rock formations the park is named for. The scenery is pretty epic as you climb, and it will help you forget about the hot, dry conditions as you work hard.
Eventually you'll top out with a choice to make. Take a right to follow this ride and slice through the middle of a rock formation, climbing steeply up a short section of rock. Otherwise, take a left for the Morrison Slide trail if you want a harder alternate way back.
Once you reach the top, there's a viewpoint on the rocks you can walk out to. Otherwise, head left to follow the trail back down. It's mostly downhill or flat from here and very fun. There are some small rocks along the way down that keep it interesting, so stay alert. There's also a fairly significant stream crossing (rideable).
When you reach a junction with the Village Walk trail, stay right. Left is a hiking-only trail, and right is a bike only trail. You can fly the rest of the way down the short singletrack section without worry of encountering hikers here.
Then you'll cross the road again and finish climbing up the part of the Dakota Ridge trail you didn't ride yet. Grab a little more technical on the very steep rocky climb, then take a left to head back down Zorro.

Ferris State University softball coach Keri Becker is counting upon a blend of talent and versatility to help the Bulldogs defend their 2000 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Championship title.
"The challenge for us will not really be with the new players or the veteran
players," said Becker, the winningest coach in the program's 28-year history.Ā "I believe the challenge is going to be with all of the players on our roster -- one through 17.
"We're as athletic as we have ever been.Ā We also have a lot of players who can play at multiple positions," added Becker.
Ferris State, which compiled a 33-18 overall record last season, will enter this spring
without six starters from last year's team due to graduation.Ā Pitchers Nadine Crowl and Brandy Coe, infielders Anne Bentley and Cathy Boichot along with and outfielders Jaymee
Kent and Kris St. Andre have departed.
Becker will be primarily relying on a four-member senior class to help the Bulldogs stake a claim to a potential second straight GLIAC title and a possible return to the NCAA Championship Tournament after being denied a berth last year.Ā The group consists of senior pitcher Teresa Sutermeister, catcher Anne Koltvedt, first baseman Mila Prieur and outfielder Melissa Carrick.
If recent history repeats itself, Ferris State should once again be competing in post-season play for the fourth time in the program's history. Along with three consecutive 40 or more win seasons (1997-99), the Bulldogs have made two appearances in the NCAA National Championship Tournament (1998 and 1999) after capturing back-to-back NCAA Great Lakes Regional Titles.
"Our youth and veterans make for an excellent mix.ĀThis team will have a totally different personality from last year's, but we're focused on winning the conference again and getting back into the NCAA Tournament," said Becker.
An important key in achieving those lofty goals will be the performances of those individuals comprising the Bulldog pitching corps.
Certainly this area proved to be crucial in Ferris' success last spring as the Bulldogs tied for 28th nationally in earned run average with a team 1.39 ERA.
With the losses of Crowl and Coe, the responsibility of taking the lead on the mound will fall on the shoulders of senior Teresa Sutermeister.Ā The veteran pitcher posted a 4-3 record with a 1.30 earned run average in seven appearances last season after going 8-1 with a 1.94 ERA the campaign.
She will be joined in the starting rotation by junior Jennifer Colvin and sophomore Amanda Opbroek.Ā Both right-handed hurlers will receive considerable action this spring as a result of losing the two starters. Both turned in notable performances a season ago as Opbroek was 1-0 with a 0.72 ERA in three contests and Colvin totaled a 4-0 record along with a 0.86 ERA in five outings.Ā Colvin, who tossed a pair of three hitters in those five games, has compiled a 7-0 career mark with an 0.87 ERA in 32.1 innings pitched.
Returning for her third straight season behind the plate is senior catcher Anne Koltvedt, who could be a legitimate all-conference performer this season.Ā Koltvedt, the recipient of last year's FSU Diamond Dawg Award for hustle and effort, has played in all of the Bulldogs' 115 games over the past two seasons.ĀThe team co-captain placed second among the squad's top fielders last year with a .985 fielding percentage and threw out an impressive 38 percent (17-45) of runners attempting to steal a base.
Supplying depth again this season will be sophomore Tracy Pieprzyk, who received playing time in five games last spring.
At first base, Mila Prieur returns for her senior season at the corner after getting the starting nod there 23 times a season ago. Prieur, who provides steady defense and has a fine career .977 fielding percentage, will begin the 2001 campaign as the starter with highly-regarded freshman Courtney Grady waiting in the wings.
A large void to be filled is in the middle where second baseman-shortstop Anne Bentley, a third-team All-America selection by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association and an All-GLIAC First-Teamer, has graduated.ĀSophomore Emily Butkus, who played 27 games at second base last season, will be the regular there this time around while fellow sophomore Jessica Baars will occupy the starting shortstop position.Ā The 2000 FSU Rookie-of-the-Year Award winner started all 25 games played in last year there before being sidelined the remainder of the campaign due to an injury.
The third base job is up for grabs with a number of candidates vying for the starting
nod.ĀJunior Casey Scully, a transfer from Grand Rapids Community College, has the inside track followingĀ a productive season in the juco ranks last spring.ĀSophomore Laura Elder appeared in 15 games at the "hot corner" last year, but an off-season injury could hamper her return this season.
Incoming first-year players Nicki Merchant and Dana Peuler possess the versatility to play at a number of positions.Ā Peuler may also garner playing time behind the plate.Ā
Versatility perhaps best describes the personnel who will occupy the three outfield positions.ĀSenior co-captain Melissa Carrick is the lone returning starter from a season ago and will be moved to center after playing extensively in right field last year.Ā Carrick registered a .907 fielding percentage en route to attaining FSU Most Improved Player honors.
Unlike in seasons past, the starting left field spot is wide open with Scully, Opbroek and redshirt freshman Krista Johnson among others battling for the starting job.
Moving to Carrick's former position is sophomore Rebekah Stoutenburg, who was utilized primarily last season in a pinch-runner capacity.Ā She's equipped with the quickness and speed to cover a lot of territory in the outfield.

First there was the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin. But the American public did not embrace the coin as government officials had hoped. So fast-forward another 20 years and the feds tried it again. This time it was the Sacagawea coin and it was about as popular as its predecessor. In other words, it went over like a lead balloon.
So this week we'll try once again. This time the new dollar coin will feature the presidents, starting appropriately with Washington. Every three months a new presidential image will grace the coins in the hope that the public will grow fond of the coins and abandon the trusty dollar bill. I'd bet a dollar this one will flop as well.
Old habits are hard to break and we Americans have yet to break the dollar bill habit. Even if it makes financial sense (printing dollar bills is costly), we still shun the coins in favor of the old reliable.
You would assume the Treasury would get the message. But you know what they say about assuming.
The two separate dollar coins currently in circulation have proven to be a monumental blunder. Coin collectors seem to be the only ones truly interested in the coins but that is not nearly enough to force a switch away from the dollar bill. I'm sure the feds hope the new rotation of faces on the coins will somehow magically excite the public to make the switch. But we all know it won't.
Here is the only salvation for this potential change away from the dollar bill. Let's say it's a few years down the road and the Senator from New York is president. God forbid. But just for argument's sake, let's say that day arrives. I could see some pleasure in donating a Hillary dollar to my favorite conservative cause. Talk about ironies!
The new coin idea sounds like something McDonald's would try. You know, get the kids excited about collecting all the presidents. At least with McDonald's, you get a hamburger too.

Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is becoming a widely used technique to determine crystallographic orientation in biogenic carbonates. Despite this use, there is little information available on preparation for the analysis of biogenic carbonates. EBSD data are compared for biogenic aragonite and calcite in the common blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, using different types of resin and thicknesses of carbon coating. Results indicate that carbonate biomineral samples provide better EBSD results if they are embedded in resin, particularly epoxy resin. A uniform layer of carbon of 2.5 nm thickness provides sufficient conductivity for EBSD analyses of such insulators to avoid charging without masking the diffracted signal. Diffraction intensity decreases with carbon coating thickness of 5 nm or more. This study demonstrates the importance of optimizing sample preparation for EBSD analyses of insulators such as carbonate biominerals.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Nevada junior guard Deonte Burton and New Mexico junior guard Tony Snell have been named Mountain West Men's Basketball Co-Players of the Week for games through November 18. This is the first MW career weekly accolade for both Burton and Snell.
Burton guided Nevada to a 3-0 record and the championship of the World Vision Classic last week. On Friday, the Los Angeles, Calif., product scored 12 of his team-high 19 points in the second half, including the final five of the game, to lead the Wolf Pack in an 80-77 comeback victory over Cal State Fullerton. With Nevada trailing, 77-75, and 33 seconds left to play, Burton converted a layup and three free throws while also blocking a potential go-ahead basket to seal the win. He also tallied a game-high 19 points against Green Bay on Saturday, capped off by another game-winning basket. After the Phoenix went up, 69-68, with 11 seconds left to play, Burton took the inbounds pass and hit a deep 3-pointer with two seconds on the clock for the 71-69 victory. Burton closed out the week with 14 points in a 79-61 triumph over Southern Utah. His 3-pointer and two free throws during a two-possession span midway through the second half brought the Wolf Pack back from a three-point deficit (49-46) and gave them a lead they would not relinquish. For the week, Burton averaged 17.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 steals, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks per game.

I have GERD. Is dry mouth and thrush-like areas on the tongue caused by it?READ MORE
Hi there, Toeknee -
I know this is a very old question, but I did want someone from our staff to answer you! I hope you've long since discovered the cause your throat and the thrush-like symptoms you're describing. From what I've read, GERD does not cause thrush in and of itself. Typically it's caused by a severely compromised immune system, uncontrolled diabetes, or treatment with antibiotics that allow for an overgrowth of yeast. Some asthma meds can cause it as well. I'm only a layperson though, and only a doctor can accurately diagnose what's causing your symptoms after an exam.
If you did find out what was causing the symptoms and got treatment for it, perhaps you'd consider coming back and telling us how things turned out for you? Your experience might be invaluable to someone else suffering from the symptoms.
Here are some links that might be helpful for you in any case. Best of luck to you!

I was treated for thrush three times since October 08 and just found out from an Ear, Nose & Throat Doctor that my white tongue and thrush like symptoms were from GERD.READ MORE

Yesterday morning was a fateful morning for Tumblr, the New York-based blog-hosting startup valued by investors at $800 million. Today is going to be even bigger. Tumblr has been looking for a COO for CEO and founder David Karp for many months now. They want a "Sheryl Sandberg" – someone like the business boss at Facebook, who everyone credits for helping Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg turn a profitless project into a multi-billion dollar business. The process has taken much longer than anybody at Tumblr hoped it would. But yesterday, at ten in the morning, board member Roelof

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2013
WAYNESBORO, Ga. (WRDW) -- Georgia lawmakers are trying to pass a bill that would prevent cities from requiring dog neutering.
It's a major issue in Waynesboro where local animal control officers are already having a hard time controlling the number of dogs in their kennels.
"There is another dog out there that's having litter after litter because she's just wild out there and there's no control," said Angel Rystrom, animal control officer for the City of Waynesboro.
She runs a local shelter in Waynesboro and houses close to 30 dogs that only share about a 30 by 30 foot space.
She fears the number of dogs she takes care of will go up if this bill passes.
"My population's gonna boom and I have a 10-kennel run, overfull all the time as it is, I would have nowhere to take care of these animals," Rystrom said.
Her kennel has been close to capacity and doesn't want things to get worse.
"I don't want a lot of stray puppies that I have to go and chase down because then they come here and I have to find them homes," Rystrom said.
But a Georgia bill in the works might make Rystrom's job even more difficult, and it would leave local governments like the City of Waynesboro powerless.
The bill would prevent local city governments from:
- Banning certain dog breeds
- Requiring neutering
- Preventing tethering of those used in shows, field trials or disability services
Some residents in Waynesboro, like Nell Mobley, want to make those decisions, though.
"I certainly believe in the rights of the people to make decisions about different things and animals are considered a part of the family," Mobley said.
Decisions that she feels should be made by pet owners, not the government.
But she says responsibility is what matters the most.
"If they want an animal, you need to take care of the animal, and you don't take care of an animal by letting it roam everywhere," Mobley said.
Something that would help Rystrom and her animal control officers have an easier job.
"If the people are responsible enough and they take care of their owners, then I won't have problem with all of the population increase," Mobley said.

On the evening of the 12th of March, Occupy DC (both camps) marched
through the streets of DC and protested on the base of the White House
fence in defiance of newly-signed HR347, the Federal Tresspass law
protecting the White House, all the GOP candidates for President, the
G20,the Chicago NATO Summit, and the GOP and Dem Conventions.
Note to reposters and commentors: The 1st Amendment says "CONGRESS shall make no law," and it is Congress that passed HR347. The 1st Amendment does NOT say Secret Service can't remove snide comments posted to Obama's web page, it does however mean Obama can't have the posters arrested for saying the same things elsewhere, nor can progressives be arrested for protesting the Repugnican National Convention, Democratic National Convention,. the Chicago NATO summit, the G-8 which was moved from Chicago to Camp David, etc.
The March 12 action begain with a march from McPherson Square to Freedom Plaza to
pick up reinforcements. The three main banners of the march were the
entire First Amendment to the Constitution, at some times forming a
square formation three lanes of traffic wide. From Freedom Plaza the
march went to the White House, and the standard "civil disobediance"
center sidewalk location.
The Secret Service did not take the preoffered bait at the White House,
declining to interfere even when Occupiers stood on the concrete base of
the White House fence above the sidewalk. After about 1/2 hour or a
little longer, Occupiers re-took the streets.
At one point people were calling for a march on the World Bank and the
march began to head that way, but at the right turn to go south on 19th
st everyone suddenly decided to stop and block K street. After police
managed to push march into moving again, Occupiers stopped again,
attempting to hold an entire General Assembly on K street like they did
after the police raid. The cops were building up fast, however, so
Occupiers soon had to start moving again and returned to McPherson
Square for the GA. At one point, a K-9 cop in an SUV drove into the
crowd, only to be surrounded and driven back out, after which he stayed
about a block away.

@dcdirectactionnews No doubt the 08 ballot was a terrible one. The republicans went with a candidate that was a bigger neoconservative than Bush. And the other side of the aisle put up Barack, who is currently pushing the same authoritarian agenda as Bush. Its a mess.

Crimea Fallout: Will Grassroots Boycotts of Russian Vodka Catch On?
Outrage over Russia moving troops into Ukraine's Crimean peninsula is sparking some grassroots boycotts of Russian vodka in the U.S.
For example, you won't be able to get Russian vodka at Big Johnson Liquor and Beer in Abilene, Texas. Owner Johnny Johnson is among a number of liquor-store proprietors who have taken Russian vodka off their shelves as a protest against Russia's policies in Ukraine.
"I don't know how much of an effect a little guy in Texas can have, but I wanted to make a statement. I hope others will follow our lead," Johnson said. Johnson said many of his customers are military service people at nearby Dyess Air Force Base. He also said there are Vodkas made in Texas that he hopes will fill shelves left empty by his removal of Russian brands.
Bob's Liquors in Knoxville, Tenn., has also stopped selling Russian Vodka. "We took it off the shelves about two weeks ago, when the saber-rattling got serious," said Jim Campbell, a store worker.
It is not clear how many stores are taking part in what appears, so far, to be a limited grassroots protest. There have also been a number of tweets on Twitter calling for a boycott. "Friends don't let friends buy #Russian vodka," tweeted iFirebrand.
Officials with the American Beverage Licensees, a trade group that represents liquor retailers, did not respond immediately to requests for comment.

This room with en suite private bathroom including shower and tub is situated on the first floor of a historic monument from the beginning of the 20th century, built in the Amsterdam school style. In the room there is a water-cooker, tea and coffee, cups, boards and some cutlery. The house was recently (5 years ago) thoroughly renovated including a completely new private bathroom with natural stone, shower and bath tub. We live on the 2nd and 3rd floor ourselves.
It is only 3 minutes walking to get there (Jordaan and grachten: canals, atmospheric shopping, cafe's) but around the house you barely will find any tourists - apart from the beautiful canals, bridges, houses in Amsterdam style and bistro's around the house! The location has a convenient connection to the Central Station by bus nr.48 which takes you there in about 5 minutes after a 3 minutes walk, and to the musea and Concertgebouw by tram nr.3 which takes you there in about 15 minutes after a 1 minute walk.

We had a very nice stay at Georg's house! We didn't even meet, but we always had the impression that there is somebody who cares for us. :)
Nice bathroom!
Everything went great. Georg and Hellen are great and helpful hosts. The room and the bathroom were nice and clean. That's a great choice when you'd like to visit Amsterdam!
Warm and comfortable apartment within minutes to Amsterdam Central Station (by bus). We felt very welcome here and would come back any time we are in Amsterdam!
Georg was away but Heleen was friendly and welcoming. The room is good size with nice bathroom. Not far from the centre, good location. Some nice restaurants and shops on harlemstraat which was very close to the house. We had a good stay!
We had very nice time in Amsterdam. Georg and Heleen were very helpful and friendly. The flat was very near the centre or the Jordan district. In short time we had chance to have 2 days sightseeing. Thank you very much for nice hospitality dear Heleen and Georg!
Our hosts Heleen and Georg were very nice and helpful. We felt to be welcome in their beautiful house and the apartment, especially the bathroom is great - very important for two women! We were surprised, how near the centre or the Jordan district were, so the appartment is an ideal starting point for sihgtseeing in Amsterdam.
Wir haben uns bei Georg sehr wohl gefühlt - das Zimmer ist geräumig und ruhig gelegen - das Bett ist angenehm und komfortabel. Das eigene Bad sehr gepflegt und sauber. Georg selbst ist ein freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber den man nur empfehlen kann. Wir werden jedenfalls wiederkommen und können dasZimmer nur weiterempfehlen. Richard
Der Aufehnthalt bei Heleen und Georg war super! Sehr nette Vermieter, die uns super Tipps gegeben haben ( das indonesische Restaurant war der Knaller!:-)) Das Zimmer war zentral gelegen, sauber und geräumig. Wir können es nur weiterempfehlen!
Wir hatten sehr angenehme Tage in einem schönen Zimmer. Die Einrichtung ist ausreichend und Georg ist ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber.
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen, fast alle touristischen Highlights sind fußläufig gut zu erreichen. Gerne kommen wir wieder.

Tracking the Storm: Analysis
-- The Carolina Hurricanes saw their three-game home winning streak come to an end on Tuesday with a 2-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets. It's a loss that stings in a number of ways, considering the fact that the Jets scored the game-winning goal with just over a minute left to play in regulation and because the Canes felt like they had a lot of good elements in their game tonight but couldn't come up with any points. "It was a good hockey game. Both teams played well. We did everything that we [wanted] to do, as far as the game plan," head coach Kirk Muller said. "We didn't give up much. Two mistakes cost us two goals tonight, but overall, I thought our guys played hard, competed, skated and did a lot of good things. It just wasn't the outcome we wanted."
-- There were some missed opportunities the Canes would certainly like to have back. In the first period, Alexander Semin fed Jiri Tlusty with a beautiful goalmouth feed, and Tlusty put it high over the net. In the second period, the Canes had 52 seconds of five-on-three time, but John-Michael Liles rang a point shot off the post in their best scoring chance. "Five-on-three wise, I thought we executed really well. All the chances and opportunities were there. We just didn't score," Muller said. "Their goalie made some nice saves, and we hit a post. That would have been a great time to score."
-- Pavelec was also spitting out a fair amount of rebounds, especially in the second period when the Canes seemed to gain their legs and start to swing the momentum. "There were ample opportunities to put one by him, and we just weren't able to tonight," Eric Staal said. "We stayed with it, stayed aggressive, continued to shoot pucks and get to the net, but you want to finish on the opportunities you get."
-- The first period was a bit choppy and disorganized at times, but the Canes were able to settle into their game in the second period, dominating at times, as Staal said. "They're a big team. They came out and had some tempo to their first period. I don't think we managed the puck as well as we wanted, so it was kind of coming back at us. I thought as the game went on, we started to do a better job of that," Muller said. "I thought we had a lot of offensive zone time in the second and third period. We really didn't give up much."
-- Riley Nash scored the Canes' lone goal, and it came when the team was in a one-goal hole in the third period. It was a broken play with Bowman dangling in the slot, and Nash was able to pick up the loose puck and fire it past Ondrej Pavelec for his seventh of the season.
-- Staal was not pleased with the officiating crew as the Canes were looking for a late-game comeback in the final minute of the game. After winning a faceoff, Staal received a vicious cross check from Bryan Little. The officials nabbed Little for the appropriate penalty but sent Staal, the Canes leader in points, to the box for slashing – for some reason. A visibly peeved Staal after the game: "I won the faceoff and got cross-checked from behind. That's pretty much it."
-- Some random notes: Winnipeg has now claimed victory in each of the last four meetings between the two clubs in Raleigh, and the road team has won 17 of the last 23 meetings. The season series wraps up north of the border on March 22. … Bowman's primary assist on Nash's goal was his seventh of the season, tying a career high. … Carolina held a slight shot advantage in the game, as the final tally favored the home team, 29-27. The Canes are now 16-11-1 when outshooting their opponent.
-- The Hurricanes' four-game homestand leading into the Olympic break continues on Friday when the team hosts Florida. A Saturday evening faceoff against Montreal will wrap up the pre-Olympic schedule, and the Canes are aware of the enormity of the two remaining games. "The key is to regroup and get fresh tomorrow. Get back with two good practices and then finish strong. We have two more home games, and two more opportunities to pick up some real crucial points," Staal said. "Obviously a tough pill tonight, but it's not going to help hanging our head on it. We need to refocus and get back on the horse because these are two big games before the break."
Recap (NHL.com)
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Chris Thorburn knocked home a loose puck in front of the net with 1:03 remaining in regulation to lift the Winnipeg Jets to a 2-1 victory against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena.
Rookie defenseman Jacob Trouba carried the puck around the net to set up the game-winner for the Jets, who have won three in a row. Ondrej Pavelec stopped 28 shots for his 18th win of the season.
The Jets (28-25-5) improved to 9-2-0 since former Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice took over behind the bench after Claude Noel was fired on Jan. 12.
With Winnipeg clinging to a 1-0 lead after two periods, Riley Nash pulled the Hurricanes even at 2:42 of the third. The Jets tied up Drayson Bowman's shot attempt from the slot, but the puck squirted free to Nash, who buried a quick shot past Pavelec for his seventh of the season.
The teams traded quality scoring chances in the first period. Carolina forward Nathan Gerbe had an early opportunity but lifted his shot off the crossbar. Brian Little had the best chance for Winnipeg when he took a pass above the crease from Trouba only to be stopped by Anton Khudobin moving right to left. The Hurricanes had the only power play of the period but did not register a shot.
Khudobin finished with 25 saves for the Hurricanes (25-21-9), who remained three points behind the Philadelphia Flyers for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.

Isengard, also known as Angrenost ('Iron Fortress') in Sindarin, was one of the three Fortresses of Gondor and held within it one of the realm's Palantiri.
However, in the latter half of the Third Age, it came into the possession of Saruman and bacame his personal realm and home until his defeat during the War of the Ring.
Isengard was built in the Second Age around the tower of Orthanc by the Númenoreans, in exile in the days of their power in Nan Curunir (The Wizards Vale) in The Misty Mountains. Its location was at the northwestern corner of the Southern Kingdom of Gondor, guarding the Fords of Isen from enemy incursions into Calenardhon, and together with the fortress of Helm's Deep to its south protected the Gap of Rohan.
Isengard was comprised of a circular stone-wall surrounding a broad plain, in the center of which was the Tower of Orthanc. Isengard had only one gate, which faced south.
The river Angren (or Isen) began at Methedras behind Isengard, which also formed its northern wall. The other three sides were guarded by a large wall, known as the Ring of Isengard, which was only breached by the inflow of the river Angren at the northeast through a portcullis, and the gate of Isengard at the south, at both shores of the river.
Isengard was, at first, a green and beautiful tower complex, with many large trees and grass fields, fed by the river until it was dammed by Saruman. After the Wizards defeat however, Treebeard and the rest of the Ents made it a vivid green area again, after destroying the walls and dam, renaming it the "Treegarth of Orthanc".
During the early Third Age, the land of Calenardhon became depopulated,
and the last warden of Orthanc was recalled to Minas Tirith. Isengard remained guarded by a small company, led by a hereditary captain, much as happened at Aglarond at the time.
After Calenardhon was given to the Éothéod by Cirion, Steward of Gondor, and became Rohan, Isengard remained part of Gondor, and the company of Aglarond removed to the northern fortress, although the rest of Gondor almost forgot about it. The small guard intermarried much with the Dunlendings, until the place became a Dunlending fortress in all but name. Orthanc, however, remained closed, as the Steward of Gondor still held the keys. Isengard soon came all but deserted.
During the rule of Rohan's King Déor it turned out that Isengard had become openly hostile to the Rohirrim. Using Isengard as their base, the Dunlendings continued to raid Rohan during Déor's son Gram's rule, until during the rule of Gram's son Helm Hammerhand a Dunlending lord, Freca and his son Wulf nearly managed to destroy the Rohirrim. The Rohirrim eventually won, taking Isengard, and guarding it for Gondor.
During the time of the Steward of Gondor Beren, Saruman the White suddenly reappeared from the East, and he offered to guard Isengard. Beren gladly gave him the keys to Orthanc, and Saruman settled there. After him the valley became known as Nan Curunír, or "Wizard's Vale".
During the War of the Ring, Isengard was Saruman's base of operations against the Rohirrim, and he defiled the valley, cutting down its trees and grass and replacing them with stone and machinery. He dammed and diverted the Angren, possibly for use as hydropower. Isengard's valley was honeycombed with deep pits, used for breeding Uruk-hai and housing orcs from the Misty Mountains, hill-men of Dunland and wolves and smithying weapons. Isengard became home to countless Misty Mountains Orcs, Uruk-hai and Dunlendings -- a sizable private army. Eventually, an army of Ents and Huorns led by Treebeard of Fangorn attacked Isengard, wrecking all of Saruman's industries, although they could not force entry to the Tower of Orthanc.
The Hobbits Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took as the new "doorwardens" received Théoden King of Rohan, Aragorn, and Gandalf at the gates. Saruman was confronted but refused to beg for pardon, and he was released into Treebeard's guard together with his servant Gríma Wormtongue. Saruman abandoned Isengard after Sauron's defeat, playing off Treebeard's hatred of caging any living thing in order to manipulate him into letting him leave. It was planned by Sauron that Isengard would be given to his loyal ambassador, the Mouth of Sauron, after Saruman's demise.
After the War of the RingEdit
Early in the Fourth Age, Isengard was restored, and Treebeard replanted many trees. Orthanc again became a tower of the Reunited Kingdom of Aragorn King Elessar.
Under the Ent dominion, the ringwall was torn down and the Ents planted the Watchwood there and renamed the new forest the Treegarth of Orthanc. Saruman's pits and caverns were filled, and the land was healed. The Valley was now filled with trees and a small lake was constructed near Orthanc. The valley was given to the ents by Aragorn, to do with it as they wished, granted that they keep watch upon Orthanc and preventing anyone without permission to enter it.

London Book Fair Report: The Great Debate
Posted at 8:24AM Thursday 10 Apr 2014For the fourth consecutive year The Great Debate was held at the London Book Fair. On Tuesday industry leaders from both sides of the pond debated this year's proposition: "It's all about size. Bigger is always better."
The debaters dissected whether only book industry giants could survive or prosper, as typified by the dominance of Amazon and Penguin Random House, or if small, agile, independents have a tactical advantage in the digital- and social-driven future of the industry.
