Winter on Utah Lake
The first heavy snowfall of the season blew into the region Friday and Saturday and changed the landscape around Orem dramatically. I drove around the area Saturday afternoon and spotted this scene along Utah Lake. The color of the plants in the Lake near shore provided a nice contrast with the white and blue of the snow covered, clouded mountains on the west side of the Lake.
Shot with my Nikon D800E and Nikon 24-120 f4. iso 100, 1/500 at f 11. Posted in Capture NX 2.
Added a slightly different version using Color Efex Pro 4 detail extractor to push the contrast in the mountains.

That looks cold and bleak!
The grass makes a nice warm contrast to the cold hues around it and it's an evocative image. My only suggestion would be that you probably don't need so much water in the foreground - I'd reduce it by about half.

Thanks for the comments Scott
I forget that posting here is the final product. I'm so used to framing loose for prints I sell to allow for matts taking an inch out of the shot. Have to remember that's not the case when I post a finished product on the site.

Hello! I would first like to say, I am really new to WordPress, **and I can't remember what version I have downloaded on my laptop (which is my original download) but I just downloaded version 3.2 on a new computer and might want to uninstall the old version and reinstall WP with the new version on the other computer** so with that in mind...
I have been working on my site for some time, and when I got to the point when I needed to add taxonomies, I tried to, and it didn't work out the way I thought it would. Long story short, I went from having the "Cannot Modify Header" to "Fatal Error: ....... public_html/wp-includes/load.php on line 337" to " "Fatal Error:...... wp-content/plugins/role-scoper/scoped-user_anon.php on line 31"
I have read that in order to fix the "Cannot Modify Header" issue I just need to open the file and delete a few things (I know this is very broad but I figured if you need more information on that topic you can search for it, and I would keep my experiences short, if that ends up not being sufficient I can post more details as needed). I tried that and it didn't work then I got the last two "Fatal Error..." messages, and I thought I would just uninstall then reinstall WP.
I am using BlueHost, and I know that you can look through all the files with the file manager, but what I am wondering is, is there a way to uninstall then reinstall WP without losing all the information I have already put into my site?
Or instead of uninstalling/reinstalling WP should I just look for and replace all the effected files?
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Humble Heart Farms
High Point Restaurant is now using Humble Heart Farms Goat Cheese. The 1929 mansion with original hardwood flooring and authentic light fixtures, presumably financed by Al Capone, was put on the National Register of Historic Places in December of 1997. The three-story compound once had escape hatches on the roof and underground tunnels in the basement used by Capone for the transferring of liquor in the twenties and early thirties. Local legend reveals tales of Capone and John Dillinger lounging outside on the mountain stone patio having drinks and playing numerous hands of cards.
Our all natural goat cheese is from our own goats living on our farm. We do not sell our milk.

24 million
people across Germany
AOK, the market leader in Statutory Health Insurance (SHI) in Germany, has guaranteed quality medical care for policy holders for over 130 years. With help from SAP, AOK Systems – the IT division of AOK – created a cross-industry solution designed to cover all the core and support processes typical of a statutory health insurance company. This solution enables SHI companies to optimize spending, comply with all government mandated regulations, and help more patients gain access to special treatment programs and preventative care.
AOK Bundesverband
Berlin, Germany
€69.6 billion
Service, Information Technology
SAP for Insurance, SAP Business Warehouse, SAP Business Suite, SAP HANA, SAP Customer Relationship Management
Health insurance is compulsory for everyone living in Germany. Based on their income, many people are required to obtain statutory health insurance (SHI) which is available through self-governed health insurance providers. The cost of SHI is shared between both employers and employees. The current rate represents 15.5% of a person's gross wages (7.3% is contributed by the employer and 8.2% is contributed by the employee).
Citizens who earn over 55,000 euro annually may choose to opt out of public insurance and instead pay for private health insurance. However, only about 14% of Germany's policy holders are privately insured.
The SHI system has proved a successful model in Germany for almost 130 years. And today, AOK is the largest SHI in the country, representing 35% of market share. With an electronic patient's card, every AOK member has access to all the services their health insurance fund provides. The "benefits in kind" principle guarantees that people with health insurance never have to pay for doctors' services themselves. Patients are free to choose their own doctor and how frequently they need to see that doctor.
Insuring the majority of Germany through SHI
AOK doesn't only offer health insurance coverage. The company also works hard to continuously improve services and provide beneficiaries with more effective healthcare. For instance, AOK offers developed structured treatment programs for people with chronic diseases. Beneficiaries who become part of AOK's disease management programs are offered scientific monitoring and an integrated quality management system to prevent unnecessary deterioration of health conditions and to help ensure constant improvement of treatments.
In addition, AOK maintains an integrated-care model of healthcare that better coordinates fragmented levels of care in doctors' offices, hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. This prevents duplicated patient services, improves health outcomes, and helps to reduce expenditure. The result? More affordable healthcare for AOK beneficiaries.
All SHI providers in Germany are dedicated to preserving the health of policy holders by providing the best treatment possible. But with premiums mandated by law, competition among insurance providers is fierce.
And competition is only one of the challenges that SHI companies face. The changing demographic in Germany is leading to rising medical costs, so cutting internal costs is incredibly important. Further, each change in government policy requires an update in the company's IT systems.
Implementing IT solutions that can handle the volume
In addition to helping control costs, AOK required an IT solution that could handle very large amounts of data. Collectively, 11 independent regional AOKs manage 6 million cases of clinical treatment, 370 million cases of medical treatment, and 400 million drug prescriptions annually.
Motivated to fix the complexity associated with SHI challenges and to combat their own internal data management issues, AOK Systems, the IT division of AOK, teamed with SAP to create a cross-industry solution. The result, oscare®, is a technical platform that's available to all SHI companies to license, not just AOK, and is purposed to cover and support all processes of SHI.
Currently oscare® runs SAP Business Warehouse powered by SAP HANA, but in their SAP HANA roadmap, AOK Systems outlines their plan to move their other SAP components onto the SAP HANA platform, such as the SAP ERP application and the SAP Customer Relationship Management application.
All core and support processes
- Udo Patzelt, Head of Product Management at AOK Systems
Solving performance problems and generating new business ideas
The difference SAP HANA is making
With SAP BW powered by SAP HANA running on the backend, oscare® is able to analyze and process the huge amounts of data running through AOK on a daily basis. AOK now has operational analytics to optimize processes. In addition, AOK now is able to better design disease prevention programs that protect and improve the health of insurance holders.
One perfect example of improved analytic capabilities…
AOK can point to some very specific examples of improvements in both their operational efficiency and patient programs. For example, they can now more effectively review and approve thousands of prescriptions associated with home nursing services. Millions of data points are analyzed, and AOK personnel receive color-coded alerts when possible anomalies are found. This helps them identify cases that might require further investigation.
Patient care programs have benefited too. Evaluating diabetic foot syndrome can be a complicated and time-consuming process. With their new systems in place, AOK has reduced the evaluation processing time for this condition from 150 hours (about 6 full days) to 15 minutes. This rapid analysis of the data makes it easier for AOK to design optimized care programs and to get help out faster to the patients who need it.
– Udo Patzelt, Head of Product Management at AOK Systems
Benefits of SAP HANA
oscare® is alleviating some of the main challenges that exist within SHI. The solution is completely customizable so that each SHI company that has licensed the solution is able to innovate on their own terms and differentiate themselves from competition. In addition, the solution is continuously updated to align with all German laws as they evolve over time.
SHI companies are better managing costs and claim expenses by improving the services offered to customers.
AOK plans to migrate their entire oscare landscape to the SAP HANA platform, and they will further enhance their system with additional functionality. These enhancements should help AOK continue their mission of enabling millions of German citizens to receive quality heath care.
Planning for the future

Body found in Hubbard Park
MONTPELIER A mans body was found in Hubbard Park around 11:20 a.m. Sunday.
Parks Director Geoff Beyer said the man, possibly in his 40s, was found on a rear terrace near the tower, but officials determined the man had not fallen from the structure. Montpelier Fire Chief Bob Gowans said the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police would not provide any details of the incident Monday, in part because the persons family had not been notified.
Beyer said there were no signs of trauma. A couple had found the man, he said.

Users are constantly searching for new content and to stay competitive organizations must act immediately based on up-to-date data. Outdated recommendations decrease the likelihood of presenting the right offer and make it harder to maintain customer loyalty. In order to provide the most relevant recommendations and increase engagement, organizations must track customer interactions and re-score recommendations on the fly.
Data sources have expanded dramatically to include a wealth of historical data and a constant influx of behavior data. The key to moving from predictive models, applied in batch, to models that provide responses in real time, is to focus on the efficiency of model application. The speed that recommendations can be served is influenced by:
In this presentation, we'll discuss how developers can use open source components like HBase and Kiji to develop low-latency recommendation models that can be easily deployed by e-commerce companies. We will give practical advice on how to choose models and design data stores that make use of the architecture and quickly serve new recommendations.

The field of human services includes career paths in many of the "helping" professions. Jobs are varied, including child welfare worker, crime victim advocate, case manager, residential youth counselor, addictions counselor, mental health technician, community outreach worker, family services advocate, disability services specialist, probation/parole officer, abuse prevention educator and elder care specialist. Students may often work with professionals from a wide variety of fields, such as social work, health care, welfare, courts, schools and private and public agencies.
Human services workers provide direct client and indirect support services. They assess clients' needs, help clients find appropriate benefits and services and assist clients obtain these and other resources. They may assist individuals with daily living skills, including providing emotional support. Human service professionals can also organize and lead group activities or assist with community organization and development.
If you enjoy working with people and have a strong desire to help others, possess empathy and perseverance, human services may be a great career fit for you. Human service professionals work to develop good verbal and written communication skills. This career path will help you gain a better understanding about yourself and the behavior of others.
Students have the opportunity to get involved in Tau Upsilon Alpha, the national organization for human services honor society.

What kind of people skills should I possess for a career as a human services worker?
What human services specializations or options are offered at SCC?
In addition to a general human services degree pathway, our students can choose more specific studies in victimology, gerontology, youth services and substance abuse.
What is victimology?
Victimology is the study of victims and what makes a person a potential victim. Students of victimology services will learn how to help the victim through the physical and emotional impact of the crime. They will learn crisis intervention and how to counsel victims for enrollment into various assistance programs. Particular attention is given to helping the victim understand the criminal justice system.
What is gerontology?
Gerontology - the study of aging - encompasses a multidisciplinary core of knowledge. It includes physical changes associated with aging, the emotional and intellectual processes of people as they grow older, and how people interact within their family and their community.
What will I learn about youth services work?
Students will learn adolescent psychology, crisis intervention and various aspects of the juvenile justice system and the treatment of alcohol and drug abuse. Training will prepare the student to address the needs of youths in treatment programs, including problem-solving, recording skills, group skills and mediation.
What does substance abuse care involve?
Workers may assist with treatment programs or preventive programs conducted by social or government agencies, community groups, employers and the health care professions. The goals are to help abusers of drugs or alcohol to stop using them, recover from their effects and adopt new lifestyles. Course work at SCC emphasizes that treatment is a continuum of processes from intervention through rehabilitation. The student will learn theories and practices related to defusing crises and the referral of those in crisis.
What about experience? Can I gain experience while attending classes at SCC?
Yes. An essential component of the human services degree is the practicum. In the third and fourth semesters of the program, you will be required to spend 9-11 hours per week working in a social agency to gain practical experience. You will receive formal training and supervision from the agency while earning three credit hours toward your degree in human services.
I like the fact that I can get a job with an Associate of Science degree, but I may want to continue my education and earn a bachelor's degree. Will my courses transfer?
The student earning an Associate of Applied Science degree needs to be aware that the courses taken for the degree are specifically designed to help students enter the work force after approximately two years; however, if you wish to transfer to a four-year institution, be aware each accepts the A.A.S. courses according to its own plan. Close advisement is necessary to optimize your choices.
What kind of people skills should I possess for a career as a human services worker?
Persons interested in this program should enjoy working with people and have a strong desire to help others, including patience and understanding. They should possess good verbal and written communication skills and have a positive attitude about themselves and others.

Researchers at Northwestern University and the American College of Surgeons have created a surgical risk calculator that can predict the likelihood of mortality and poor outcomes for more than 1,500 procedures. The calculator is based on data from the ACS National Surgical Quality Improvement Program, and the CMS has said a risk calculator might be an alternative way to generate reimbursement under the Physician Quality Reporting System.

The RAS Initiative
RAS Pathway Genes Now Available
All 180 RAS pathway genes are now available from the NCI RAS Initiative.
More than 30 percent of all human cancers – including 95 percent of pancreatic cancers and 45 percent of colorectal cancers — are driven by mutations of the RAS family of genes. NCI established the RAS initiative in 2013 to explore innovative approaches for attacking the proteins encoded by mutant forms of RAS genes and to ultimately create effective, new therapies for RAS-related cancers.
Message from Dr. Lowy
Dear Colleagues,
NCI's RAS Initiative has come a long way since 2013, when former NCI director Dr. Harold Varmus and a group of experts envisioned a coordinated effort to understand the biology of RAS oncogenes. At that time, drugging RAS was a goal that had been all but abandoned by industry and many academic researchers, after years of trying. Today's concerted effort, led by the RAS Initiative, is beginning to make headway.
I have a deeply personal interest in making Dr. Varmus's vision succeed. For many years RAS was a primary focus of my lab, since the early days of RAS cloning when RAS genes were seemingly hiding in mouse retroviruses. It is highly gratifying to see the recent increased interest in the entire field of RAS biology—and the progress that is occurring—due to the RAS Initiative.
Our goal is to create a virtual network of scientists working collaboratively to solve the RAS problem. If you have not done so already, I encourage you to join our online forum RAS Central to share your challenges and ideas for solving the difficult and fascinating problem of oncogenic RAS.
Douglas R. Lowy, M.D.
Acting Director, National Cancer Institute
RAS Central
RAS Central is the RAS hub for blog posts, events and videos, and other useful tools and resources. Come to RAS Central to request RAS reagents to use in your research.
What's Happening Now
RAS Lab Discussion Forum
RAS Lab is an online discussion forum to facilitate the exchange of scientific information among researchers in cancers related to RAS.
Tumor Microenvironment Influences Metabolism of Cancer Cells
In a new blog post in RAS Dialogue, Dr. Cosimo Commisso discusses how the metabolism of cancer cells might be different in different parts of solid tumors.

Vegan...With an exception
Over a year ago
Hey, everyone! I wanted to get a little input on this subject: So, I've been vegetarian on and off since 7th grade (About 5 years) and I'm transitioning to veganism, but there's a catch. I recently purchased chickens and I'll be raising them in my backyard and collecting eggs, so I don't see why I shouldn't eat those eggs since I know exactly where they're coming from and that the chickens are being treated well.
I guess what I'm asking is if you guys would do the same thing, and why or why not?
Thanks for the input!
Please log in to reply.
Over a year ago
how many hens did you buy? They only lay so many eggs in a week. If you only have a few, leave the eggs alone, the chickens will take care of them. if you have a ton of chickens, I don't know what the practical solution would be for the mass amount of eggs you'd end up with.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
Ugh. I really wish I would've consulted you guys beforehand. Even though I'm pretty sure my mom would've done it anyway…
But I had no idea about the feeding the eggs back to them. I'm definitely going to do it!
Thanks so much!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

The fact about veganism is that we do not use animals for our own consumption or benefit.
You can always feed the eggs back to your hens, as they will need it to replenish lost nutrients.
You have already done some damage by buying from someone who will use that money to slaughter animals. You haven't saved hens, you've paid for more to suffer. Unfortunate as that is.
There's no reason why we need to use animals – you know your life will be fine without eggs!You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
@NoMeatNoDairyNoProblem I bought them from a neighbor who was raising them to eat, so I figured buying as many as I reasonably could and having them as egg laying hens was preferable to that.
But I'll consider all this when they actually start laying eggs and I have to decide whether or not to eat them. It is kinda gross now that I think about it.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
Over a year ago
You purchased the chickens and therefore supported the breeding and sale of chickens. You should know better.
As far as being vegan and eating eggs goes, I'll just copy/paste my response form the other thread:
Hen Periods (Eggs)
I would never have a hen around just so that I could eat her eggs.
I can imagine a situation in which I might be caring for a rescued hen who needed a home, or a wild hen who decided to hang out on my property.
If those hens were to leave unfertilized eggs laying around, there would be no harm in eating them.
It would be disgusting and unhealthy but not morally wrong.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Top 10 worst sequels and remakes of 2013
Here are ten films that make a compelling case for why Hollywood has come down not only with severe sequelitis, but remake-itis as well.
Black superheroes forever changed comic books
Adilifu Nama's Super Black: American Pop Culture and Black Superheroes does a great job of introducing many of today's comic book fans with the history of African Americans in comic books and pop culture generally.
"1913 Massacre": Great movie about Michigan tragedy
1913 Massacre is a touching documentary that revisits the tragic events that took place in the copper mining town of Calumet in the northern tip of Michigan on Christmas Eve 1913.
"Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" is stunning must-see
"Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" is visually stunning, unfolding professionally within a familiar bio-pic template.
What does Wonder Woman mean for 2015?
Gal Gadot, a relatively unknown Jewish Israeli actress, has been cast in the role of Wonder Woman. Some are pondering what a female superhero means in modern times.
"Reaching for the Moon": Love dares speak its name
I really liked this movie, mainly because of its unusual characters based on actual historical figures.
"The Book Thief": A child looks at fascism
"The Book Thief" is not a happy movie. It's narrated by Death, though he's a trifle friendlier than usually depicted.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Credit Report America cleverly disguised their advertising as an actual newstory and published it on MSNBC.com. The story read about how people were making money by using Google's Adsense. It gave you a link to click on that made it look like you were actually on the Google Adsense page (if you had never actually seen the real one). [continued below]....
My complaints are these:1) I authorized my credit card for a $1 charge. If there are going to be any additional charges, there needs to be more warning than simply clicking yes one time. There should be a popup with a list of "terms and agreements" that you have to initial, or at least one extra step that makes you aware your credit card is being billed again.
2)It's misleading calling something a "Trial" when it is clearly not.
3)It's fraudulent to charge me a fee ($48.92) for something I do not get a service or product for.
4)The so-called "terms and conditions" on the initial page say I am under no obligation at all. There is nothing saying I am being billed an initial fee, an activation fee, a service fee, etc. It says it's a trial and if I wish to continue as a member, there will be a fee. And there is certainly nothing saying the fee is "nonrefundable".
I don't know how many others have fallen victim to this particular scam already, but if you have, please don't be that type of person that says, "it's just $50 bucks" and go on with your life. This is criminal and it needs to be stopped.
In the UK, there is Distance Selling regulation that stipulates a 7-day cooling off period. The Distance Selling Regulations provide additional protection e.g. your card company must refund you if your credit, debit, or store card is used fraudulently and, in many cases in the EU, the law allows you time to change your mind, within seven working days of the delivery, and get a refund.
The employees at Credit Report America seemed to think they had every right to deny my refund because I clicked Yes.
Friends, get on board and stop allowing companies to get away with victimizing people with these manipulative and fraudulent scams!

Last weekend, former NASCAR champion Tony Stewart struck and killed another driver during a horrific sprint car crash, making much of the racer's future uncertain. For many, however, the only question was whether Stewart would continue to compete, which was seemingly answered Thursday when Empire News reported "Tony Stewart to Announce Retirement."
The online response was immediate and emotional, resulting in a near-deluge of bitter cyber-tears.
Empire News cited a number of sources to support their claim, including ESPN's Nicole Briscoe and NASCAR Hall of Famer Rusty Wallace, who reportedly said, "I talked with Tony yesterday and he made it clear, he is done with racing." Fortunately for the Internet's Stewart supporters and their beleaguered emoji, Empire News are a bunch of filthy liars.
Yesterday, both Wallace and Briscoe dismissed the article on Twitter, the latter saying point-blank "the 'story' regarding Tony Stewart's impending retirement is a hoax."
Sadly, some NASCAR fans still didn't get the message, moving directly into the bargaining stage of stock car racing grief.

Sept.30...Happy National Hot Mulled Cider Day!
Over a year ago
Mulled cider screams Fall and pumpkins and Halloween parties to me and the smell of spicy apples always cheers me up even on a cold rainy day! 🙂
Plus it's supereasy to make…
Spiced Cider
From peta2
apple cider
orange juice
orange extract
lemon extract
whole cloves
whole allspice
agave nectar
Details and directions at Spiced Cider
According to the Rules of the Interwebs, you shouldn't post someone else's entire recipe, only part of it with a link to the rest, unless you've changed the recipe up bigtime.
Vegan variations…
Pomegranate-Apple Cider from PETA
Mulled Apple Cider from Mary at Mitten Machen
Hot Spiced Cider from Andrea at Pie Birds
Maple Apple Cider from Nancy at Spicie Foodie
Caramel Apple Cider from Sarah at The Sweet Life
Chai Spiced Cider from lime green at VegWeb
Mulling spices make a supercool gift too! Just mix the dry spices together and pour into a little paper bag, print out a label with the recipe on it and close the bag with a colorful ribbon…kind of like this but with spices instead of seeds.
You can use tea bags or spice bags with a recipe tag tied on, or bag it and box it! Or double-quadruple the recipe and put it in a little jar or tiny tin.
Don't forget a set of crazyawesome PETA mugs too! 🙂
If you are spice-deprived or just too lazy to fix a mix, you can buy it!
Mulling Spice from Simply Organic
Mulling Spice from Davidson's Organics
Mulling Spice Bags and Gift Packets from Olde Tradition Spice
Mulling Spices for Apple Cider from The Spice House
Mulling Spices from Penzeys Spices

I see now he's accepted the ban, which i hope does not mean we'll never actually see the report. Until we do so, assuming we do, I have to assume either the rational would have been hard for Suarez to overcome, or perhaps because of his latest experience with the FA appeals process he felt no matter how strong a case he might have to have the ban reduced, he just could not get a fair hearing.
I'd hope for the first, but fear for the second. Only other explanation is Suarez has just decided to give up, not just on this case, but football in England altogether. Now that might make some who would take great pleasure to run him out of town, very happy, but think its a very sad day if its true. Not just because I'm biased because Suarez happens to be Liverpool's best player, but because he also happens to be one of the leagues best players.
Now I know some will get on high horses and tell me some things are bigger than football, and despite Suarez being truly one of the most talented footballers in the world we don't want his kind, however it would not take very long to make a list of plenty of other players just as nasty if not worse who have not just been tolerated but are considered hero's by their fans.

in my CustomUserChangeForm class, then saves with no changes are correctly logged with "No fields changed." However, then I'm able to see and edit the hash. Once the line is back in my code, every save results in a "Changed password." log entry.

This was fixed in 1.6, not 1.5 (if you look at the commit, you'll see it has 1.6 tags). Since you've set "Version" to 1.5, I'm assuming that's the version you are reporting this against -- please reopen if not. A test case for Django's test suite would also be extremely helpful if you believe there's still a bug here.

There are some things that can only be said after death. Aided by a talking staff that thinks it is alive, Fumika delivers Shigofumi, the last words and feelings of the dead in the form of letters, to their addressees. Whether they are letters of apology, revenge, or simply a final farewell, she always brings them to their destination. Delivering Shigofumi is not always an easy job; as some people refuse to believe such things as letters from the dead are possible, while others are afraid of what these letters might contain. But the mail must go through; what the recipients decide to do with it afterwards is up to them.

Shigofumi is strange. It mixes an interesting premise, very dark themes and mental disorders with a touch of goofy humor. It's episodic and yet has a coherent, overarching plot that gets developed in every episode. It shouldn't work, but it really does. Weird stuff happens, a lot of it. But it still works somehow. The format of the show is a quiet tough girl delivering... read more
Shigofumi was a nice surprise. It's a dark anime whose protagonist is a girl - Fumika - who delivers shigofumi, letters sent from the world of the dead. What I liked the most was the atmosphere, it's dark and disturbing and tragic at times, but never cheap or vulgar. It isn't loud, but rather subdued and even solemn. I also appreciated how the story is told, it has an episodic nature related to the dead people... read more

Job Details
The Elmira Heights Central School District aims to provide its students and staff with an educational setting that is safe, secure, and free from student harassment, also known as bullying. Our district's mission includes our belief that "All students develop attitudes and skills necessary to function as an integral part of an ever-changing society; a positive, safe and nurturing environment is necessary for learning; and the entire community is critical for the success of the educational program." Recent events involving bullying (including cyberbullying) in both the local and national communities have prompted our district to review its current policies and practices in these areas. Both the district and the community recognize that bullying can have long-term effects on an individual's self-esteem and mental health. Children who are bullied are unable to concentrate on school. It can wreck their education and destroy their confidence. If bullying is not addressed the consequences can be destructive and even deadly. Addressing bullying will help our schools become safer places. A safer school means a better environment for learning and students who will feel confident and secure.

This is me with Judith Yost, MA, MT(ASCP) Director, Lab Services, CMS
She is the head of the CLIA program.
You have 3 choices to meet Physician Office Laboratory regulatory compliance
1. You Can Ignore It. Still, it will not go away. Performing lab test without proper licensure or proper documentation can generate fines starting at 50,000 and/or criminal prosecution.
2. Manage It Yourself. Do you really want to add laboratory compliance and management to all the things already involved in managing a medical practice?
Questions to ask:
Are my test accurate and economical?
Do I have a Quality Assurance Plan in use and active?
Am I performing Quality Control as needed and monitoring the results?
Are my employees trained properly and documented?
Does my lab meet the standards of CLIA, COLA or JCAHO?
3. Use a system that assures compliance. Our company can handle all components of physician office laboratory compliance. From laboratory start-up to post-inspection corrections and follow-up, we strive to assure profitability and compliance with the regulations
The Three Biggest Physician Office Laboratory Challenges and How We Can Help
1. Declining reimbursement for lab test. We can show you how to save money with careful product selection and proper medical test coding.
2. Staffing and training for an in-house laboratory. We can pre-screen applicants, train all employees, and provide proper documentation.
3. Laboratory management and compliance monitoring. You have your lab set up, what now ? CLIA expects ongoing management and a Quality Assurance Plan in use and in action. We can provide a simplified management plan and periodic visits to insure compliance.
We offer a turn-key approach to Urine Drug Screening
Due to federal regulation changes, Waived urine drug testing is no longer feasible or profitable.
We offer a turn key approach that includes instrumentation, set-up, training, reagent contract, service agreement and a complete CLIA compliance program. All manuals, forms, procedures and training to meet the CLIA standards plus assistance with upgrade of your CLIA status.

How can I clean DD's patent leather tap shoes? They are looking ratty and recital is coming up!
How can I clean DD's patent leather tap shoes? They are looking ratty and recital is coming up!
I don't know, but I say to ask the dance instructor. She will know.
Good luck.
Be sure to share the answer BTW
Commercial patent leather cleaners are available at your local shoe store and tailor shop, but there's a much more inexpensive way to clean patent leather that works just as well. Take a peek in to your storage closet and see if you can find a bottle of mineral oil.
Start by testing the mineral oil on your shoe. Rub a small amount of mineral oil in an area that doesn't readily show such as the back of the shoe near the heel to make sure the mineral oil doesn't alter the color of the shoe. (it shouldn't). Now take a clean, soft cloth and apply a small amount of mineral oil to its surface. Gently rub the scuff market with light pressure until it completely disappears. Now that your patent leather is clean, you can take a fresh cloth and buff your shoes to a high shine.
If you don't have mineral oil in your home to clean patent leather, you can try a bit of petroleum jelly, acetone free nail polish remover, or vegetable oil to banish those scuff marks. Other options that may work to clean some types of patent leather are toothpaste and shaving cream. There are so many types of patent leather these days that what may work for one type of leather may not work for another. You may need to try a few different options. Again, don't forget to do a spot test before applying any solution to your patent leather.
Do you want to keep your patent leather shoes bright and shiny? Try polishing them with a soft cloth that has white vinegar on it. It's important to spot test before using white vinegar since it could alter the color of your patent leather in some cases.
I like my men like the Mississippi River: long, strong, and ready to rock my boat.

What is Spoken
Spoken is a submissions management service designed to support New Zealand local authorities with plan changes and resource consents under the Resource Management Act 1991. Spoken is a web based system made by Perception Planning Limited for planners who manage and analyse submissions on RMA plan changes. There are databases available that focus on Local Government Act processes, but they are not ideal for plan changes. Also, working remotely can often mean using low-performance VPN services to access your information. We created Spoken help you manage submission processes specifically, and it makes remote data entry and analysis easy. It also includes add-on modules for online submissions, hearings administration, and appeal management.
We are very experienced in managing plan changes and submissions and know that one size does not fit all. We work closely with you to figure out the best data entry and reporting setup for you and your future reporting needs.
All data that is not derived directly from submissions received by the Council, including council officer notes that are stored in the database, are treated as strictly confidential. We only access data for the purposes of delivering this service.
We offer help desk support if you have questions while you are using Spoken. As professional planners we can also offer advice on plan change procedures and help you with summarising submissions and data entry.
Find out more
Spoken is a product of Perception Planning Limited. Please contact Phillip Percy to learn more about Spoken and to arrange a demonstration of its capabilities.
Delivery and support
Initial set-up and training
We install and configure the database for you, plus load the core data into it (plan provisions and preferred reporting topics). Next, we meet with your team to show you how the system works. We've designed the system to be pretty intuitive so you actually won't need much training. Plus, existing users can quickly and easily train new users. There are FAQs in the system as well to help staff refine their data entry.
Reporting output
Each council has specific s42A reporting formats and drafting preferences. For a one-off charge we can supply output files that will suit those preferences. This includes raw data outputs (.CSV file) of all applicable data in the system that you can store on your servers for legal data retention requirements.
Monthly support
Your monthly charge includes hosting fees and 2 hours of user support. We respond to phone and email queries on the same day when possible. Spoken has been designed simply, so extensive training and Q&A is not required.
Infrastructure, security and redundancy
Spoken is built around a cloud infrastructure designed to maximize availability, reliability, and security and includes:
Data Storage: MongoDB
Data Indexing: Solr
Application Rendering: JavaScript
Application Processing: Node.js
Servers: Amazon AWS
Data Security
Encryption: all data transfer is encrypted with SSL at each transfer stage.
Protection: all data storage is password protected and secured behind firewalls.
Passwords: all passwords are hashed and encrypted before being stored. No plain-text passwords are ever stored for any user accounts.
Ownership: both the data stores and indexes are on servers managed by Knack, and no third parties are used for maintenance or storage.
All of the application rendering and processing is done with failover and load balancing in place. The Mongo data stores are replicated on additional servers in different locations for higher availability.
Multiple backups of all app data are securely made daily to both on and offsite locations.
Knack is a distributed cloud-based system, which means that scalability can be achieved by simply adding capacity as needed. Record size or bandwidth usage has no impact on performance. Knack apps with millions of records will be just as fast as a new app with 5 records.
Data Availability
All data is available to be exported by the application owner at any time into a variety of formats: CSV, JSON, and TXT.

"Scott Nicholson explores the dark legends of the southern end of the Appalachian mountain chain, a nightmare country that ends in Stephen King's yard."-- Sharyn McCrumb, author of The Ballad novels
When artists gather at a remote Appalachian estate for a retreat, they are unaware that their energy is feeding something unwholesome. Sculptor Mason Jackson and dying parapsychologist Anna Galloway must uncover the dark secrets of Korban Manor before their spirits become trapped forever.
A modern Gothic thriller
After parapsychologist Anna Galloway is diagnosed with terminal cancer, she has a recurring dream in which she sees her own ghost. The setting of her dream is the historic Korban Manor, and she's compelled to face the secrets of her soul.
Sculptor Mason Jackson has come to the manor to make a final, all-or-nothing attempt at success before giving up his dreams. When he becomes obsessed with carving Ephram Korban's form out of wood, even Anna can't divert his bizarre passion.
The manor itself has secrets, with fires that blaze constantly in the hearths, portraits of Korban in every room, and deceptive mirrors on the walls. With an October blue moon looming, both the living and the dead learn the true power of their dreams.

Skill Level Beginner
In this video, we are going to take a look at marbling. Marbling is a command that's actually been in Painter since all the way back to version 2, but I think over the years it's kind of gotten buried in the closet and a lot of people either don't know it's there, or they look at it and they don't understand how it functions and as result it just kind of stays buried in the closet, but it's a really interesting command and I'm going to dust it off here and show you how it works. But to get started, I'm going to go in to another command associated with marbling, which is Blobs. Now you think blobs, what does that have to do with marbling? Well, why don't we get this started and I'll show you what I'm talking about here? I am going just to create a set of blobs in here, so you can see basically what it looks like.
So it's just randomly dispersing these blobs, and you can see that there always kind of self repelling. Every once in a while they'll overlap, I can even see a little bit of a division there, but for the most part, it's trying to treat this liquid almost as if it's water and this is oil based, and water and oil do not mix. Now, I'm going to make this a little more interesting. Now I want to start with a color and in fact that's one of the things that they would do in marbling. They would have some kind of base color that they would start with, and then they would start applying these various levels of color into it with the oil and water principle at play.
So I'm going to go ahead and use the Fill command, which is Command+F or Ctrl+F, and I'm going to fill with the current color. So now we've got a nice basis for applying this, you could do it on white, but I don't think it would be as interesting. I like to take a middle toned color to start with and then start applying. And now it's all a matter of what colors do you choose to put in here, and there is no rule. I mean any set of colors would work, but sometimes I like to stay more in a close color range, within one-half of the color wheel. That will give you a set of colors that have a fairly close relationship, and I find that works quite well.
So we are going to go back and we'll go to the Blobs command, and for now, I'm going to do less. So I'm going to make 40 blobs, so you can control the number of blobs, and I'm also going to play with the size, and to start off I want to little bit bigger. So I'm going to go here, I'm just going to type 40, and then this will may go up to 80, and let's go ahead and hit OK. Now it's starting to encode these blobs into our background. And I'm just going to take few more colors here.
Let's go back, apply Blobs again, I'll do with the same this time. And actually one way I can do this is just kind of keep moving this over, but again, I'm just making this up as I go. It's really something that is totally under your control. Let's go to Effects > Blob one more time here. If you've open this dialog up, you can still go in here, and change your color, so don't feel like if you are in a dialog it's mottle and there is no way to do anything, you still have access to all of this color control. So let's maybe now take this and make it little smaller.
So I'm going to make this 30 to maybe 60. And now I'm playing with numbers, I kind of know these work there. Again, there is no magic number here, but when you've played with this enough, you start to get a sense, well, I'm going to start bigger, and work smaller. That's how I like to work but again anything goes here. Now finally, I'm going to put something close to white in there. I might go back around now a little bit more to the blue side of thing. So it's not going to be full white, but it will be close, and I'm going to make these smaller. So I'm going to make the Maximum Size 40, and we'll make the Maximum Size 20, and I'm going to put a rather large amount.
I'm going to do 120. So we'll just do a larger number here. It will kind of pepper it a bit. Then finally, I'm going to take a very dark color here, very dark blue, and we'll go back one more time, and I'm even going to make this smaller, so I'm going to make this about 10, and maybe just 30, and maybe we'll put about 150 over there. So there we've got a nice stone pattern to start with. Now we are actually going to apply marbling.
Traditional marbling works on the theory of, once you've got this pattern, floating on a pan of water, you take a series of styli based tools that are like combs and the rakes, and you run them through here, and basically what's going to happen, it's going to pull on this pattern in a direction that the comb or rake is being pulled through, and each of those little styli, little tiff are in the water, and it pulls and it just drags all of this along with it. So let's go to the Marbling command, which is also under Esoterica here, and it's right at the top, Apply Marbling.
This is where I think some people kind of get thrown off. They don't understand what's happening here. And one of the things that it does show me, for example, is the direction the rake is set to go. You can see how I can change this and obviously top-to-bottom, bottom-to-right, you're not going to see a directional change, but you can see here how I can control which direction a rake gets pulled through this, and right at the top, one of the things I might want to play with is the Spacing. So I can have a tighter spacing that's going to pull this, and in this case, I do have a sense it's going to go from the right side towards the left side.
And let's just try what we've got here, so you can get a basic idea, and there is just a quick look at pulling a rake from the right to the left, through this pattern to create this. And so, I'm going to undo it here, and let's go back one more time to Apply Marbling, and so there is a lot of play that can happen right in here. If you look up marbling patterns on the Internet, you'll find all kinds of information about some of the recipes and what not.
But rather than have you do that, there is actually in the Load command here, a whole number of recipes that have been created already. And for example, let's look at the Horizontal Get Gel, and actually that means come and go in Arabic and I'm just going to go ahead and do this, but I'm also going to tell you about the Quality slider. When it's on the lowest setting of 1.0, you get a fairly kind of jaggy result. This isn't really final quality. So if I undo and repeat that command, but turn this up, I'm going to get better quality.
I'm going to go ahead and turn it all the way up, and depending on your machine, how complex the particular pattern is, these can take a while to finish. So that's a traditional marble pattern, right there. That's the Horizontal Get Gel pattern. I am going to undo it, and let's go back again, we are going to go ahead and take a look at this again. This time I'm going to do the Horizontal Bouquet Comb. This actually is built upon the Horizontal Get Gel pattern. It's just going to go an additional step.
So let's say OK, and we'll turn Quality up here, let's say OK, and it's going to go through and it's going to do that pattern, but it's going to do an additional final pass that pulls a comb through it, so most of this was achieved by going horizontally, but at the end, and it took a closely space comb, and pull it through from the top to the bottom to get this pattern. And once again, if you have seen marbling this is very authentic to the actual way that the pattern ends up looking. And for the piece de resistance, we are going to take a look at the Bouquet.
This is a very traditional fancy pattern that is created with traditional marbling. Notice I've turned Quality back up here again. So we are going to apply this and when you see the result here, I think you will instantly recognize this as a very popular or well know marbling pattern. So the idea behind marbling is it gives you the tools and it yet maintains enough of the randomness of the original art form that you'll never get the same result twice.
It's impossible to never get anywhere near the same result. Now I'll show you one last little trick and that is if I go into my Effects and go to Tonal Control, I'm going to Adjust Colors. I'm going to set this back to 0 to start with here. The one I want you to look at is the Hue Shift. This lets me just rotate all of the hues in this image through to a different spot, and maybe I'll punch up the Saturation a little bit for this, we'll hit that, and that's maybe a bit oversaturated, maybe if I turn it down a bit.
But the idea here is even one marbling pattern, you can play with and just kind of offset and adjust the colors that are being applied to it. In fact you can even use filter that I showed you earlier, the Match Palette filter. That could be another way in which you could change the appearance of a marbling pattern that's already been generated. So marbling pattern is kind of it's own little world and Painter that you can go into and have a lot of fun with and just keep in mind, if you are going to use this for print purposes, you're going to have to make an appropriately large image, and as a result those times to kind of bake these patterns and finish them, you can start to take a bit of time.
So just be aware in advance that high quality, high resolution images are going to take a little while to do. So I hope you'll investigate marbling and use your marbles.

Obama and Romney take to the streets to settle the presidential score
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- September 06, 2012
PRESIDENTIAL candidates often participate in wacky stunts, but few would have predicted that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney or their lookalikes would face off on the dance floor.
It's not often you see two of the world's most powerful men sorting out their differences with a dance-off followed by a hackey sack competition.
Passers-by in Washington Square New York were treated to a hilarious 'showdown' which saw presidential impersonators Mike Cote (Romney) and Reggie Brown (Barack Obama) settling their beef with a good, old fashioned dance-off.
Obama then proceeded to blow off some steam with a hacky sack display.
Things got heated when the two appeared to get physical with a few high-kicks and smashed bottles, but the they ended up friends again by the end.
Meanwhile the actual Presidential race stepped up a gear today with Former President Bill Clinton's comprehensive speaking endorsement of incumbent President Obama.
