MARTINSBURG - A bill that would have given municipalities in West Virginia the authority to enact a sales tax was killed Wednesday night by the House of Delegates Finance Committee.
The vote was 15-9 with one absence. It was not a roll call vote, so which delegates voted for or against the bill is not available.
"The general discussion didn't get started well and it went downhill," Delegate Daryl Cowles, R-Morgan, a member of the House Finance Committee, said in a telephone interview Thursday.
He voted against the bill, he said.
"It seemed to be a tax increase," Cowles said. "And there's not much of a flavor to pass a bill that would put a tax increase on the people of West Virginia. It didn't get much traction."
Senate Bill 487 was introduced by state Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson. It passed the Senate by a vote of 34-0.
SB487 would have given every municipality in the state the authority to establish a sales tax of up to 1 percent by ordinance, if they reduced or eliminated their business and occupation tax, which reflects the language of the state's Municipal Home Rule Pilot Program.
Municipalities that are selected to be part of the Home Rule program can enact a sales tax of up to 1 percent, if they reduce or eliminate their B&O tax.
Now, all municipalities can enact a sales tax of up to 1 percent if they completely eliminate their B&O tax. Under Snyder's bill, municipalities would not have had to eliminate their B&O tax completely.
Cowles said the bill was not on the committee's official agenda and when the committee had some extra time before the next floor session began Wednesday evening, they started to pull out bills assigned to the committee for discussion.
Apparently, the committee members did not have much time to review the bill and get answers to their questions.
"The thing about whether Jefferson County, as a local-powers county, could assess the sales tax countywide came up, and that was not well received," Cowles said.
Jefferson County is the first and only county in West Virginia that has met all the requirements to enact the Local Powers Act, which, among other things, gives the Jefferson County Commission the same taxing authority as municipal councils.
Jefferson County Commissioner Dale Manuel told The Journal earlier this week that if SB487 passed, giving municipalities the authority to enact a sales tax, then Jefferson County would have that authority, also, because of its status as a local-powers county.
Cowles added that other questions were raised about the language in SB487, such as the bill not specifying how much the B&O tax should be reduced; and the language did not specify if municipalities had to enact a 1 percent sales tax or a sales tax of up to 1 percent.
"It was lot of little things that added up," Cowles said. "It just wasn't a good day for that bill."
Contacted by phone Thursday, Snyder said he was disappointed that SB487 did not pass.
"But I'm not real saddened," he said. "We gave it a real good try. I'll bring it back next year and introduce it earlier, so we have more time to work on it."
Martinsburg City Manager Mark Baldwin described SB487 as a good piece of legislation for cities.
"It would give all cities another tool in their toolbox," he said in a telephone interview Thursday. "We appreciate Sen. Snyder sponsoring the bill."
Martinsburg is in the process of preparing its application to take part in the Home Rule program. Martinsburg City Council members have agreed to include with the application the authority to enact a 1 percent sales tax, while reducing the B&O tax by 10 percent on wholesale and retail businesses and eliminating the B&O tax on amusement businesses.
Baldwin said in an earlier interview that with or without SB487, the city would apply to take part in the Home Rule program.
"I don't think this bill will change Martinsburg City Council's position on Home Rule, because Home Rule is not all about the sales tax," Baldwin had said.

Vt. Fish and Wildlife benefits from woman's estate
MONTPELIER The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife says its going to use a $500,000 bequest from an East Montpelier woman to support programs that protect nongame species like the bald eagle or Canada lynx.
The department said that when Mamie Thurston died last winter at age 87 she left her home, property, belongings and financial assets to the department.
Steve Parren, director of the Wildlife Diversity Program, said Thurstons bequest will be used to fill budget gaps and that her legacy will long be reflected by the species and lands that her donation will help protect.
The Nongame Wildlife Fund is paid for with private donations and federal grants, which have been hit hard by recent federal budget cuts.MORE IN This Just InBARRE A Waterbury man has been sentenced on several crimes including hitting someone in the...

Bacon The wait is over — Nike's line of University of Michigan apparel is finally available. Crowds lined up outside the MDen on State St. in Ann Arbor to wait for the new gear to be released at 12:01 am Monday. Football coach Jim Harbaugh and Athletic Director Ward Manuel both appeared at the retail store. But not everyone understands the hype that came with the switch from Adidas to Nike, like Michigan Radio sports commentator John U. Bacon. He said, "I must not be their target audience because I don't get it." Bacon: Offseason trades and drafts and remembering "The Bird" By Stateside Staff • Jun 27, 2016 Flickr user Michael Righi / Flickr / HTTP://J.MP/1SPGCL0 Listen Listening... / 4:49 Our conversation with John U. Bacon Although it's the offseason for most major American sports, there's still plenty of action in the sports world. Michigan sports has seen some important moves in both professional and collegiate athletics. Michigan Radio sports commentator John U. Bacon joined Stateside to explain all the recent moves. Tigers pitcher Francisco Rodriguez contracted Zika during offseason By Lev Facher • Jun 1, 2016 Bryan Green / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Francisco Rodriguez got off to a slow start in 2016, allowing three earned runs in his first appearance of the season. His list of excuses, however, is rock solid: He may have still been fighting the long-term effects of the Zika virus. Holocaust survivor sings national anthem at Tigers game By Associated Press • May 21, 2016 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor has fulfilled her longtime wish to sing the U.S. national anthem at a Major League Baseball game.

Bacon • May 20, 2016 Keith Allison / Flickr - http://j.mp/1SPGCl0 The Detroit Tigers entered this season with expectations as big as their payroll. It's currently at $196 million, the fourth-largest in the major leagues. The only teams who spent more are the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Yankees, and the Boston Red Sox. You know, big city teams that compete for things like the World Series. The Tigers might have been paying like the big boys, but they weren't playing like them. A Minute with Mike: The difference between zero & "O" = $45 in Detroit By Mike Blank • Apr 8, 2016 Vic Reyes Although Old Man Winter is still huffing some gray skies and cold air at us, for many of us Michiganeers this week marks the official start of summer. Why? (sound of bat cracking and crowd) That's right, the start of the Detroit Tigers 2016 season. I'm willing to bet,most of you might make at least one annual pilgrimage to a Tigers' game. And given that this state is known for its motor vehicles, you'll need to find a place to park. Which leads me to my warning: Unlike baseball, the rule book for street parking in Detroit isn't quite clear. Detroit Tigers play home opener today; Holocaust survivor to sing anthem next month By Will Greenberg • Apr 8, 2016 user: Urban Adventures / flickr It's cloudy, chilly, and there's a chance of snow. Must be the Tigers' opening day in Detroit. The Tigers play their home opener at Comerica Park this Friday afternoon against the New York Yankees. Manager Brad Ausmus' club is coming off a disappointing 2015 season, missing the playoffs and finishing last in the American League Central Division. It was out of character for a team that made the playoffs four years in a row previously, and reached the World Series in 2012. Baseball: It's good for what ails us By Jack Lessenberry • Apr 5, 2016 Well, it's supposed to be spring, but when I woke up this morning it was 19 degrees and there was ice on the forsythia.

Wolverines moving forward Bacon tells us that despite the 24-17 loss to the Utah Utes last week, the Wolverines played "far better football on both sides of the ball than I've seen in a long time." He tells us he didn't anticipate a win for Michigan, but he did expect to see 60 minutes of honest, fundamental football, and it looks like that's what we got.

After the Red Sox, "beat the crap out of us," as described by Tigers manager Brad Ausmus, there's some question as to how things are going to play out approaching Friday's trade deadline. Author says Detroit Tigers legend Ty Cobb wasn't the "devil" people made him out to be By Stateside Staff • Jun 8, 2015 National Photo Company / Library of Congress Listen Listening... / 12:03 An interview with former executive editor of Sports Illustrated Charles Leerhsen. He was arguably America's first sports celebrity. He paved the way for the "bad boy athlete." Tyrus Raymond Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers. Besides being a brilliant outfielder and base stealer, Ty Cobb had a rough reputation: surly, mean, racist, someone who hated women and kids. Where did the iconic Detroit "D" come from? By Paige Pfleger • Apr 16, 2015 Paige Pfleger / Michigan Radio The Old English "D" has become emblematic of the city of Detroit — it can be seen tattooed on forearms or stuck on the bumpers of cars, and of course, all over Comerica Park. The baseball team popularized the D, but where did it really come from, and why has the entire city rallied behind it? That's what Michael Hesser wanted to know. The year Detroit became "the City of Champions" By Stateside Staff • Apr 6, 2015 Boston Public Library / flickr.com Seventy-nine years ago this month, Detroit sports teams and athletes celebrated a winning streak that's never been replicated since. That year, Detroit athletes earned titles that kept piling up: the Tigers won their first World Series, the Lions won their first national championship, the Red Wings took home their first Stanley Cup. Not to mention Joe Louis and a myriad of others that came out victorious. Opening day is about more than baseball By Jack Lessenberry • Apr 6, 2015 Listen Listening... / 2:57 Jack Lessnberry talks about opening day in Detroit. Today is Opening Day of the Major League Baseball Season, a day in which guys making fifty thousand a year take the day off to see men making millions play ball, on a day when it is usually too cold to sit outside for three hours. But they do anyway. New development plans for old Tiger Stadium site at "The Corner" By Associated Press • Dec 16, 2014 via Think Detroit PAL DETROIT — A $33 million plan to build apartments and retail shops on the city-owned site of the old Tiger Stadium and a second proposal for a Detroit youth sports headquarters on the land are moving forward. The Detroit Economic Growth Corp. board approved the plans Tuesday for the fabled corner of Michigan and Trumbull. Bloomfield Hills-based Larson Realty Group wants to construct a 4-story building that includes retail space and 102 apartments in a project called The Corner. Two dozen town houses also are planned. Another long winter starts for the Detroit Tigers By Steve Carmody & The Associated Press • Oct 5, 2014 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio It's another post season disappointment for the Detroit Tigers. The fall air seemed to chill the Tigers' bats Sunday and a late rally in the ninth inning just wasn't enough. Baltimore's Nelson Cruz sliced a two-run homer for his latest big postseason hit, and the Baltimore Orioles swept aside Detroit's Cy Young Award winners to hold off the Tigers 2-1 Sunday. What's ahead in Detroit Tigers' 2014 season? By Stateside Staff • Sep 18, 2014 User: Detroit Tigers / facebook Listen Listening... / 5:16 The waning weeks of the regular baseball season have turned into a real roller-coaster ride for the Tigers and their fans. The Tigers got clobbered by the Twins last night, losing 8-4. And Kansas City won, so that American League Central Division lead is down to just a half game over the Royals. Now the Tigers head to Kansas City for three games that could be the most important series of the season. Michigan Radio's sports commentator John U. Bacon says as of now, the Tigers' chance to make it into the playoffs is 91%, according to ESPN. There are 10 games still ahead of the team. * Listen to the interview with John U. Bacon above. Derek Jeter remembers his time in Michigan, especially that bad called strike By Mark Brush • Aug 28, 2014 Keith Allison / Flickr The New York Yankees are in town, and the player who has been a Yankee longer than any other is being celebrated by opposing fans. Derek Jeter plans to retire from the game at the end of this season, and during what could be his last visit to Comerica Park, Michigan has come out to celebrate the player who grew up in Kalamazoo. With Jeter in town, there's a lot being written about Jeter. Dave Mesrey at the Metro Times remembers being taught by Jeter's dad at Western Michigan. Steve Kornacki at MGOBLUE.com writes about Jeter's close ties to the University of Michigan. And Mike Brudenell over at the Freep writes about the ceremony for Jeter at Comerica Park. But Jim Baumbach at Newsday wrote a piece in 2012 that gives us a look at Jeter's path from Kalamazoo to the New York Yankees. Listen to a poem in celebration of opening day for the Tigers By Stateside Staff • Mar 31, 2014 Kevin Ward / Flickr On opening day, the late Ernie Harwell - the voice of the Tigers for 42 years - would recite the poem Song of the Turtle. It signaled spring and a renewed life and opportunities. For Tiger fans, it just wasn't opening day without hearing Ernie Harwell speak those words of that poem. In memory of the late sportscaster, here's Michigan writer Terry Wooten reading his poem Old Ernie Harwell: Detroit seeks proposals for former Tiger Stadium site By Mark Brush • Mar 25, 2014 user wyliepoon / Wikimedia Commons A baseball diamond is still there, but not much else. Now Detroit's Economic Development Corporation wants to see proposals to redevelop the former site of Tiger Stadium. The EDC wants to establish a new headquarters for a Detroit youth sports league, Detroit PAL, along with three zones for mixed-use development at the site in the Corktown neighborhood. The proposed plan should also have a youth baseball diamond "in the same area as many legendary baseball stars played." Remembering Nelson Mandela and Detroit By Jack Lessenberry • Dec 6, 2013 Listen Listening... / 2:57 Lessenberry commentary for 12/6/13 Not many people remember it now, but there was a day in the remarkable life of Nelson Mandela when he came to Detroit. The Motor City went, predictably, wild over him. They filled Tiger Stadium to see him at 10:00 on a Thursday night in June. He was welcomed by Mayor Coleman Young, and enthusiastically hugged Rosa Parks. He met stars of Motown, politicians and labor leaders, and visited workers on the line at a Ford assembly plant. How many people know that Nelson Mandela, leader of a revolution, international icon of freedom, once went to an assembly line in Dearborn and told workers, "I am your comrade." Detroit's Miguel Cabrera wins the American League MVP award By Steve Carmody • Nov 14, 2013 Detroit Tigers Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera has won the American League Most Valuable Player award for the second straight year. Cabrera led the majors in hitting this year, winning his third A-L batting title in a row. That's despite the fact he had to play with a nagging injury during the final two months of the season. Cabrera won by a comfortable margin Thursday, getting 23 of 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Detroit's Max Scherzer wins the AL Cy Young award By Steve Carmody • Nov 13, 2013 Detroit Tigers Detroit Tigers pitcher Max Scherzer easily won the American League Cy Young Award Wednesday. The award honors the best pitcher in Major League Baseball this year. Scherzer led the major leagues with 21 victories this season. Scherzer gave credit to his Detroit Tigers teammates. In this morning's headlines: Detroit bankruptcy, problem solving lacking, new Tigers manager By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Nov 4, 2013 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Detroit bankruptcy eligibility trial resumes "Detroit emergency manager Kevyn Orr is returning to court today as a witness in the sixth day of the city's bankruptcy trial. Unions and pension funds are asking Judge Steven Rhodes to throw out Detroit's Chapter 9 filing or at least protect the pensions of city retirees. They accuse Orr and his staff of failing to engage in "good-faith" negotiations before the petition was filed in July, a key step under federal law. Orr says creditors had plenty of time to come up with proposals," the Associated Press reports. Report says few 8 year olds have problem solving skills A new report out this morning by the Annie E.

Brad Ausmus new Detroit Tigers manager "The Detroit Tigers have chosen Brad Ausmus as their new manager. The former catcher will replace Jim Leyland at the helm of the three-time defending AL Central champions," the Associated Press reports. What shouldn't be forgotten about Jim Leyland's baseball career By John U. Bacon • Oct 25, 2013 Detroit Tigers Listen Listening... / 3:58 A story from John U. Bacon This week, Detroit Tigers' manager Jim Leyland announced his retirement. He was an 'old school' manager, relying more on his guts than a spreadsheet. His decisions irritated some fans, but not his results. When you're 68, working in a young man's game, announcing your retirement is not a surprise. But there are a few underappreciated qualities about this grizzled veteran that are worth remembering. Jim Leyland was a baseball man to the core. Raised in Perrysburg, Ohio, the son of a glassworker, he grew up wanting to do one thing: Play baseball. He was good, very good, so the Tigers signed him up to play catcher in their minor league system. But just to get to the majors, you need to be great – and after seven years battling to get to the big leagues, Leyland realized he wasn't great. Not as a player, at least. Stateside for Monday, October 21st, 2013 By Stateside Staff • Oct 21, 2013 Listen Listening... / 48:43 There's a labor shortage in West Michigan. Construction jobs are going unfilled.

We found out more about the man who led the Tigers to win the last three AL Central Division titles. Also, George and Ira Gershwin are important figures in the history of American music, but there has never been a definitive edition of their joint body of work, but now the Gershwin family is teaming up with the University of Michigan to change that. We spoke to the editor-in-chief of the George and Ira Gershwin Critical Edition to find out more. First on the show, Bridge Magazine is taking a close look at the challenges Michigan faces as we try to improve our education system.

But Saturday night's elimination in Boston was the "final out" for Jim Leyland. Today he announced he is stepping down as manager. John Keating, who covers the Tigers for Fox Sports Detroit, joined us today. Listen to the full interview above. Tigers manager Jim Leyland steps aside By Mark Brush • Oct 21, 2013 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio Update 2:00 p.m. Here's the video from the press conference: 11:30 a.m. It's official. Jason Beck writes for MLB.com: Jim Leyland is stepping down as manager of the Tigers, and he will announce his decision today at a news conference scheduled for 11:30 a.m. ET at Comerica Park ... The decision ends Leyland's eight-year tenure leading the team he grew up with, first as a Minor League catcher and then as a manager in its farm system. This season was his 50th in professional baseball, 22 of them managing at the big league level, the last eight in Detroit. 10:36 a.m. It's not official yet, but talk radio and Twitter are buzzing about the expected announcement that Tigers manager Jim Leyland will announce his retirement decision at an 11:30 press conference this morning. This from ESPN.com: Jim Leyland won't return as manager of the Detroit Tigers next season, a decision the team will announce in a Monday morning news conference, according to multiple reports. Here's how the news broke on Twitter: Tigers holding an 11:30 am presser. Trying to track down rumblings that Jim Leyland may be announcing his retirement. — Detroit Sports 1051 (@DSports1051) October 21, 2013 Sources telling our @TomMazawey that Leyland informed team of his decision to retire on the flight home from Boston. — Detroit Sports 1051 (@DSports1051) October 21, 2013 Michigan Radio's Sarah Cwiek will be at the news conference this morning. *The headline for this story changed when the information was confirmed by MLB.com.

AbstractWe present a new electrochemical sensor for Flunitrazepam using disposable and economic Screen Printed Graphene Electrodes. It was found that the electrochemical response of this sensor was improved compared to Screen Printed Graphite Electrodes and displayed an excellent analytical performance for the detection of Flunitrazepam. Those characteristics could be attributed to the high Flunitrazepam loading capacity on the electrode surface and the outstanding electric conductivity of graphene. The methodology is shown to be useful for quantifying low levels of Flunitrazepam in a buffer solution. The protocol is also shown to be applicable for the sensing of Flunitrazepam in an alcoholic beverage e.g., Gordon's Gin & Tonic.

The Church Year as Evangelistic Resource; Active and Passive Advent Piety; and Weaving Together Christmastide and New Year's Day
So often, church year seasons drive our worship planning process. But terms like "Advent" and "Epiphany" don't communicate well. They end up being barriers to our audience—especially our audience of the unchurched. What can we do about that?
On Deep Spiritual Engagement in Worship and the Phrase "Pray With Me"

What a challenging and fruitful question—for people of all ages!
Confronting Constraints
I love RW, but I attend a congregation with minimal resources, minimal talent, and minimal openness to creativity. It is my congregation and I don't want to leave. But my frustration is growing. How can I manage the gap between my ideals and reality? Is there anything I can do to help expand our vision?

Insights from My College Students About What Helps and Hinders Worship
I recently taught a class on worship and theology to an insightful group of 30 undergraduate students. They came from churches all over the stylistic spectrum, from eight denominations, twelve states and provinces, and three countries.
As part of the course, I asked them to submit brief written reflections to these open ended questions:
When an international student moves to the United States, and starts watching American football or baseball, they are often perplexed. When a North American student explains the game, they start to appreciate it. But when they hear a true fan of the game respond to a brilliant play by exclaiming "now that was amazing," then their attention is focused in a new way. That exclamation—a testimonial, really—becomes an invitation not just to understand the game, but to fall in love with it.
Drills and Scales as Building Blocks
Every good soccer or basketball team does drills to practice basic skills. Every good pianist or saxophonist practices scales. Drills and scales are the building blocks of success any time our bodies and minds are involved in an activity we love.
Scales and drills shape how human nerves and muscles work together seamlessly in real time. They get us ready to respond to whatever a game or musical performance brings our way. They make doing the right thing instinctive, like second nature.
Remembrance: An Incomplete Truth
Every year, I ask my college and seminary students to tell me how they think 8 and 9 year olds in their congregation would summarize the point of the Lords' Supper in a sentence. Invariably, the vast, vast majority say "the Supper is about remembering Jesus' death."

Barnes and Noble's NOOKcolor
The march of technology never ends. Not long ago (in the December 2010 issue of Linux Journal, actually), I reviewed the Android-powered NOOK e-reader from Barnes & Noble. That product was an E Ink-based product, running Android 1.5. What a difference a few months can bring. Barnes & Noble has just released its second-generation e-reader, the NOOKcolor. As one can gather from the name, the NOOKcolor's immediate distinguishing factor is a 7" color touchscreen, while the original NOOK had a 6" black-and-white E Ink screen.
Although the original NOOK was a decent enough e-reader and could be hacked to add additional functionality, the NOOKcolor borders on being an actual Android-powered tablet. Table 1 compares the specifications for the two units.
Table 1. NOOK vs. NOOKcolor
|Samsung S3C6410 (533MHz)
|TI OMAP 3621 (800MHz)
|2GB int., ext. MicroSD
|8GB int (5GB usable), ext. MicroSD
|Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi + 3G on 3G NOOK)
|Wi-Fi only
|600x800 E Ink 6", 480x144 color
|600x1024 7" color IPS
|Android 1.5
|Android 2.1
|Linux 2.6.27
|Linux 2.6.29
|7.7" x 4.9" x 0.5"
|8.1" x 5.0" x 0.48"
|12.1 oz
|15.8 oz
|Mono speaker and headphones
|Mono speaker and headphones
Looking at the specs, you can see that the NOOKcolor is a much more capable device. Unlike the original NOOK, the NOOKcolor is much hungrier for battery life—that excellent color IPS screen gobbles a lot of power. The NOOKcolor can run for 8–10 hours on a charge, while the original NOOK was good for a couple days if I kept the wireless radios off. The NOOKcolor charges via the Micro USB connector on the bottom edge of the unit, much like the original NOOK did. However, unlike the original NOOK, the NOOKcolor must be plugged in to its wall charger to charge fully. A computer's USB port will supply only 500ma, which isn't enough to charge the NOOKcolor under operating conditions and will only slightly trickle-charge the unit when it's asleep. The NOOKcolor's wall charger puts out 2000ma, which is enough to charge the unit fully in about three hours. There is a little "n" logo embossed in the Micro USB cord end that glows with the charging status of the NOOKcolor (yellow for charging, green for fully charged), which is a nice touch.
As with the original NOOK, the NOOKcolor can read several media types:
EPUB e-books (with and without DRM).
Mobi/eReader e-books (with and without DRM).
PDF, XLS, DOC, PPT and other office-related formats.
MP3 and AAC audio files (can be played in the background while reading).
JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP image types.
MP4 video playback (new to NOOKcolor).
The NOOKcolor also includes a fairly capable, much improved Web browser over the original NOOK, and it ships with Pandora Internet Radio, a chess game, a sudoku game and a crossword puzzle game.
I've never covered an "unboxing" ritual before, but I feel compelled to mention it with the NOOKcolor. Your first impression of the NOOKcolor is when you open the box, and Barnes & Noble really did a great job on the packaging. It's a cardboard box that utilizes a magnetic closure to hold the lower one-third of the box closed. You pivot the lower one-third back, and it'll bend back and is held against the back of the box by another magnet, where you can reach inside the box and pull the NOOKcolor out of its recycled cardboard sarcophagus. It's wholly unnecessary, but absolutely awesome in its execution, and it gives you a clue as to what Barnes & Noble is thinking: the NOOKcolor is no device to be trifled with.
The initial boot of the NOOKcolor drops you into a wizard that walks you through your Barnes & Noble store account and initial Wi-Fi access point setup. The unit also displays a short video that shows you the NOOKcolor's features. The NOOKcolor doesn't have much in the way of hardware buttons—only a power button on the left edge, volume rocker on the right edge and an n button at the bottom center of the screen. If you push the n button, you'll be taken back to the home screen, where you can select any books on the NOOKcolor's desktop.
There's also a little arrow on the screen, right above the n button. Its normal mode is up, but when pressed, it rotates down, and a pop-up menu is exposed. This is the NOOKcolor's main menu. From here, you can select Library where you can choose your reading material. The Shop button connects you to the Barnes & Noble on-line store. The Search button is, well, a search. Extras is where the other NOOK programs are, such as Pandora, sudoku and chess. Web launches the Web browser, and Settings is where you can adjust system settings like Wi-Fi, screen brightness and so on.
As good as a reading experience as I found the original NOOK, the NOOKcolor is better in almost every way. The instantaneous response of the IPS color touchscreen is a treat after the perceptible wait of the E Ink screen of the original NOOK. Although I found the original NOOK acceptable, not having the flash of the screen and the page flipping delay is quite nice. I'm fortunate in that I'm not prone to eye strain, so looking at the NOOKcolor's screen wasn't an issue for me, but if you're prone to that, you might want to test-drive a NOOKcolor at your local Barnes & Noble for a bit. The one place the color screen is a liability is in bright light or sunlight. It just can't compete with the E Ink screen of the original NOOK under those conditions. Personally, I prefer the vivid, backlit screen of the NOOKcolor. You can see it in Figure 4, with John Scalzi's excellent book The Android's Dream displayed (get it if you haven't already!). All the original NOOK features for highlighting, bookmarking and instant dictionary lookup are present and accounted for.
Page flipping on the NOOKcolor is a completely different experience from the original NOOK too, as the unit has no hardware page forward/reverse buttons. Instead, you use the touchscreen to swipe across the screen, like you are turning the pages of a book. Alternatively, tapping the right side of the screen advances the page, and tapping the left side of the screen flips a page back. Unfortunately, there is no "page-flipping" animation—the screen simply displays the next page. I'd like to see a page-flipping animation while using the swipe gesture and have the current behavior on screen taps, as the shorter gesture implies a faster page turn.
The NOOKcolor's on-line store experience is similar to the original NOOK, however, the vivid color screen really helps make the act of shopping a breeze. Again, Barnes & Noble built on its earlier technology and polished the edges of the on-line store, while keeping all of the good things about it, like automatic downloading of content in the event you replace your NOOK.
The Web browser is one area in which the old NOOK needed lots of work, and Barnes & Noble delivered. In fairness, it's the stock browser from Android 2.1, but the old NOOK's browser was so bad, the new browser beats it hands down. The new browser also scores 93/100 on the Acid3 test—not fully compliant, but it works a lot better than the browser in the original NOOK. It's this browser that makes you think the NOOKcolor may have more to it than meets the eye.

Looks like I have been living
Looks like I have been living under a rock. i spent the past weekend with my sister and her family. My brother-in-law and I got into a talk about, of all things, libraries. Somehow the conversation turned to the use of radio frequency id in his local library. While, I was familiar with the term at a baseline level, I had no idea how wide this technology spread.
He mentioned how the local library used them on everything they checked out. He also mentioned, how publishers are using RFID as a connection between print and online platforms.
This propelled me to think about my own ereading experience, and that I needed to educate myself on the nuance and capabilities of RFID.
Currently, I'm looking to learn about RFID readers(is www.rfidreader.com a good place to start?) and really understand the process.
Man, my inner nerd came out in this post! I'm just really excited when I have a chance to learn about something new, especially an emerging technology.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Haseeb Hameed continued his stunning form as England Under-19s took an unassailable 3-0 lead in their series against South Africa.
The hotly-tipped Lancashire man struck 97 in each of the opening two games, and went one better today when crunching 125.
His efforts, supported Tom Alsop's 57, steered England to a winning total of 295 for eight.
Will Rhodes and Karl Carver backed those performances up outstandingly by claiming three wickets apiece in the reply.
Janneman Malan and Marques Ackerman, who struck 52 and 67 respectively, were the best performers for the Proteas with the bat.
However, South Africa were dismissed for 256 to lose by 39 runs, meaning they are playing for pride over the remainder of the rubber.

Last week, megachurch pastor John MacArthur told Glenn Beck's The Blaze website that churches that condone homosexuality "have no allegiance to the Bible ... they have no relationship to scripture, they are the apostate church, they are Satan's church."
Not surprisingly, Mat Staver and Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel are in complete agreement, praising MacArthur's tough stance on their "Faith and Freedom" radio broadcast as Staver added his own warning that tolerance of homosexuality "ultimately will be the downfall of our civilization."
"Homosexuality is against nature," Staver declared. "It is against nature to have two men and two women engaging in sexual activity. It is against the Scripture to do that ... This sinful behavior is being promoted as good, natural, and normal. It is something, I think, that ultimately will be the downfall of our civilization if we continue to go down this road":

Arc Angels Fly Again
After playing together periodically during the past seven years, the band plans to release a DVD this year, tour extensively -- including two appearances during this month's South By Southwest music festival and a May run with Eric Clapton in England -- and start work in its first album in 17 years.
"We feel like we have unfinished business here, and it always feels right when we're together," guitarist Doyle Bramhall II tells Billboard.com. "The chemistry is sort of undeniable when we get together. We really enjoy playing with one another."
Arc Angels formed during the early '90s, following fellow Texas hero Stevie Ray Vaughan's Aug. 27, 1990 death a helicopter crash in East Troy, Wisc. Vaughan's Double Trouble Rhythm Section -- drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon -- joined forces with Bramhall and Charlie Sexton at the Austin Rehearsal Center (ARC), which gave the group its name. But after one well-received album, 1992's "Arc Angels," the group broke up in 1994 -- partly, Bramhall acknowledges, due to his heroin addiction.
Bramhall says the DVD, which includes concert footage shot in 2005 during concerts at Stubb's and Antone's in Austin as well as a documentary, will offer a frank look at Arc Angels rise, fall and rebirth. "It just sort of blew up very quickly," he explains. "We were having a lot of success rapidly, and there was a lot of stress created by that. And I was at the time very into self-sabotage, so it was sort of doomed from the beginning, unfortunately."
Bramhall will be stepping away from his current employer, Eric Clapton, to play with Arc Angels this spring and summer. The group is also recording a pair of new songs for the DVD, and it plans to return to the studio in the fall.
"We're going to write as much as we can...over the next four, five months and see what we have at the end of the summer," Bramhall says. "We're all really happy. There's not that many opportunities in bands to get that kind of second chance to actually see it through, 'cause most people don't get along by this point. We've all become really great friends and just want to go out and tour and see where we can take this."

I have riden the green course many if times and enjoy it every time. the trails are well marked and maintained. there are points where you can change to a more difficult course. so far this is my favorite trail.

I took my 11yo daughter out here. She's an experienced trail rider. We rode a lot of each trail and nothing was too technical. Lots of climbing and lots of downhill afterward. A great trail very close to little rock. Locals should be here every weekend.

Great trail network for trail running, too. It's an awesome resource so close to Arkansas' largest population center.

Great trail network, consists of three trails: green, yellow and red (in order of difficulty/elevation change). Gets a bit rocky in some places, but overall a lot of fun!
Ryan Veneberg

Trail was in great riding condition today. A few sections were recently cleared and improved this past weekend. Unfortunately horse pooh is starting to accumulate, especially on yellow loop above the quarry and on red loop. Large forest to crap in, and where do the horse droppings land? In the middle of all trail. What happened to "carry in, carry out" rule? Trail etiquette?

The problem is I have NEVER had an account at fingerhut and when I tried logging on to see what the charges were for and the date purchased, they tell me my fingerhut account # is 10 digits but the fingerhut account # on the RJM bill shows 11 digits!
What is really going on?

#1 Consumer Suggestion
Lorenda, you need to send them a "request for debt validation"
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, February 28, 2008POSTED: Thursday, February 28, 2008
RJM are JUNK DEBT BUYERS. They buy old debts of this type for about 1/10th of a penny on the dollar. They have very little, if any information on the actual debtor and are fishing public records in an effort to make a match. You are just lucky enough to have the same or similar name to the actual debtor.
All you need to do is send a debt validation request and clearly dispute this debt. Do not sign anything that goes to any bottomfeeder, just print.
In this request DEMAND to see something you signed to create the alleged debt, as well as a full account history and itemization of all charges.
Also demand proof that they own the debt or have the legal right to collect on it which would include the sale contract and proof of purchase of said debt, as well as a full chain of title back to the original creditor.
Demand that any credit reporting be removed until said debt is validated.
Send this request by certified mail, return reciept requested. Be sure to put the certified# on the letter itself and keep a copy for your records. This procedure is very important.
Under federal law, all collections activity must cease until they comply with your request for validation.
Even if this was your debt, it would most likely be past SOL anyway, and be legally uncollectable.
Have fun with these idiots!
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Suggestion
RJM's relationship to Fingerhut
AUTHOR: John H. - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 27, 2008POSTED: Wednesday, February 27, 2008
In the mean time, the company name and customer list was sold and a new Fingerhut, known as Fingerhut Direct Marketing, was started. If you contacted the new company about this debt, they would be in the dark. The new Fingerhut has never contracted with RJM Aquisitions nor have they ever sold accounts to them directly.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Robert Stieglitz Beats Khoren Gevor By DQ in Ten Rounds
by Ruslan Chikov
At the famed Bördelandhalle in Magdeburg, Germany, WBO super middleweight champion Robert Stieglitz (40-2, 23 KOs) beat Khoren Gevor (31-6, 16 KOs) with a ten round disqualification. The fight had more than it's fair share of fouls from Gevor, a late replacement for Dimitri Sartison. Gevor received multiple warnings from the referee and was penalized a point for his tactics.
During the tenth, it was hard to tell who initiated the tackle from the televised angle, but both fighters went down very hard. The referee blamed Gevor for the foul and issued a disqualification call. Stieglitz suffered a bad cut above the right eye from the incident. After the bout was over, Gevor attacked the referee and was escorted away by security officials.
Gevor got shafted by this Nazi ref... hes probably hitler's second coming... first there was an accidental head butt then stieglitz clearly pulls Gevor down and that results in Gevor being DQ'd???? total BS... im glad he went after the…Comment by BattlingNelson on 04-09-2011

The drive for continuous improvement is a great way to describe The Yosemite from Taylor Stitch. It's a shirt they've spent endless hours trying to perfect, and it's probably the best garment they've ever made. What started off as a classic outdoor flannel has morphed into a shirt that's as tough as it is comfortable, and versatile enough to wear on a hike or out to dinner. Sourced from a mill that has specialized in flannel for the past 80 years, the ultra-soft, cotton chamois fabric weighs in at a solid 9 ounces. The Blackwatch Plaid puts off an iconic vibe, and the Yosemite is also available in the original Navy from it's launch 5 years ago as well as Turquoise and Wild Lupine to conjure up some vintage outdoors ephemera.

"I joined the Party of Lincoln and the Party of Reagan. I will leave the Party of Trump."
House Speaker Paul Ryan had a good run in his first few weeks on the job, but that doesn't mean the honeymoon will last.
Each week we round up the looniest examples of right-wing bigotry, idiocy, and bizarre behavior in our "This Week In Crazy" column. Now it's time to take stock of the entire year — which gave us more inanity, head-spinning untruth, and backwards thinking than anyone could have expected or should have to endure. This is 2015 — The Year In Crazy…
Each Friday we round up the looniest examples of right-wing bigotry, idiocy, and bizarre behavior in our "This Week In Crazy" column. Now, as we reach the end of December, it's time to take stock of the entire year — which gave us more inanity, head-spinning untruth, and backwards thinking than anyone could have expected or should have to endure.
The lesson here: If the cause is made out to be holy and sacrosanct, then not even the most dedicated leaders are safe from the true believers.
Just when you thought the far-right fringe couldn't possibly connect abortion with the stock market, or equate the LGBT Pride flag with a white supremacist symbol, they just, well, go ahead and do that. It's "This Week In Crazy," The National Memo's weekly update on the shameful, racist, and hateful speech of the increasingly illogical right wing.
A study by two sociologists supposedly proved that Republicans have happier marriages — but a much larger study showed that the country's reddest counties have the highest divorce rates.
Much of the Forest Service's swelling bill for suppressing wildfires comes from the rising cost of protecting residences in the "wildland-urban interface." About 16 million houses were built in fire-prone rural areas over the last two decades.
Think about what we try to teach our children, and then think about four years of trying to explain away a President Trump. Maybe the contrast with Pope Francis during his upcoming visit will jump-start the process of scales falling from eyes.
It is becoming difficult to escape the conclusion that conservatives would rather fight about abortion than reduce it.
The Center for Medical Progress (CMP) continues to cause political problems for Planned Parenthood, while challenging media outlets to strike a balance between covering the group's activities and spreading their strident anti-abortion message.
Conservative policies give workers weaker families, dimmer futures, and corporate governance. So why do they punish themselves by voting conservative?
When five Justices legalized same-sex marriage nationwide last Friday, they released a torrent of unhinged rage from the conservative right wing. For those who appreciate such demented howling from the fire-and-brimstone crowd, this week has just been a buffet of ire, bigotry, unreason, and insanity.
Racism, what racism? It's all the Devil's fault. Send in the bees! These and other morsels of madness in "This Week In Crazy."
Right wingers are going into apoplexy over the Supreme Court's decisive 6-3 ruling upholding federal health insurance subsidies under Obamacare — and a lot of it is pretty entertaining.
Dive into the lunatic fringe of right wingers weighing in on the events in Charleston — and you'll find some truly appalling, noxious, and deranged reactions. Here are just five of them
We are on the brink of major cataclysm. It could be the Rapture, it could be Hillary's Reich, or it could be Two Women Adopting A Child. These are the Last Days, and everyone wants the Last Word. It's "This Week In Crazy."
If Lindsey Graham were gay — and we should take him at his word that he is not — that might offend some in the GOP's evangelical wing. But there are conspiracy theories that hint at something even worse.
But does quantity equal quality and an advantage in a general election? Or does it mean endless coverage of positions that could hurt the eventual nominee?
Why does the GOP keep up the scare tactics? Because they always work. They have exploited the base's fear of a black president for six years and each midterm election has rewarded their extremism.
ISIS is on the rise in American schools! The only ones who can stop them are Texas biker gangs! But then who will defend the Lone Star State when the Feds invade? Only God can say. Welcome to "This Week In Crazy."
Republicans have to say the policies they oppose have failed because it's the only way to argue against undeniable conservative failures. Here are five lies that conservatives insist on you accepting so we can redouble our efforts the help the people who truly need our help — the rich.
White evangelical voters don't vote for things; they vote against them. And they vote against things by voting for the man who's against them.
The partnership between HarperCollins, Fox News, and the nation's two leading newspapers amounts to an open declaration of war in a presidential election.

text: Culture 2 September 2009 The legacy of Lockerbie Struggling with the aftermath of Pan Am Flight 103 Print HTML The Bafta-winning director of After Lockerbie, George Rosie, recalls his experiences with the families of the victims in Granta, poignantly describing the varying ways they dealt with their grief. From Georgia Nucci, who, upon losing her teenage son, flew down to Bogotá to adopt four children, to Suse Lowenstein, who created "life-size sculptures of naked, grief-stricken women, modelled by the wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts of the people who died", every family endured its tragedies differently. A few sought solace in cold, hard science; Bob and Eileen Monetti watched an officially filmed re-creation of the bombing, seeking reassurance that their son didn't suffer when the fuselage exploded. "It would have been all over in a second. Rick and the rest of the folks on that plane would never have known what happened. That's what we tell ourselves anyway," said Bob Monetti bleakly at the time. Rosie gently yet convincingly writes: "I've no doubt Kenny MacAskill -- who I happen to know slightly -- was genuinely touched by [Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi's] wretched and terminal condition. But if he'd learned more about the measures some families took to cope with their losses perhaps his 'compassion' for Megrahi might have ebbed." Following his release, controversy has raged over Megrahi's culpability, but, whether he is innocent or not, the tales of grief related here are both brutal and unforgettable.

Brain Tumor - Statistics [1]
ON THIS PAGE: You will find information about how many people are diagnosed with a brain tumor each year. You will also learn some general information on surviving the disease. Remember, survival rates depend on several factors. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
A primary brain or spinal cord tumor is one that starts in the brain or spinal cord. This year, an estimated 78,000 people will be diagnosed with primary tumors of the brain and central nervous system. This number includes 23,770 adults (13,350 men and 10,420 women) in the United States who will be diagnosed with primary cancerous tumors of the brain and spinal cord this year.
This number also includes more than 4,000 children and teens who will be diagnosed with a brain or central nervous system tumor this year. This rest of this guide deals with adult primary brain tumors. Learn about brain tumors in children [3].
In addition to primary brain tumors, there are also secondary brain tumors or brain metastases. This is when the tumor started somewhere else in the body and spread to the brain. The most common cancers that spread to the brain are bladder [4], breast [5], kidney [6], and lung [7] cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, and melanoma [8]. This guide covers primary adult brain tumors only.
It is estimated that 16,050 adults (9,440 men and 6,610 women) will die from primary cancerous brain and CNS tumors this year.
The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of people live at least 5 years after the cancer is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The 5-year survival rate for people with brain or central nervous system cancer varies widely and depends on several factors, including the type of brain or spinal cord tumor. Talk with your doctor about what to expect with your diagnosis.
It is important to remember that statistics on how many people survive this type of tumor are an estimate. The estimate comes from data based on thousands of people with this tumor in the United States each year. So, your own risk may be different. Doctors cannot say for sure how long anyone will live with a brain or spinal cord tumor. Also, experts measure the survival statistics every 5 years. This means that the estimate may not show the results of better diagnosis or treatment available for less than 5 years. Learn more about understanding statistics [9].
