Trash lining the roads is disgusting, disturbing
March 13, 2013
I recently moved to Hedgesville, and over the past few months, I have grown increasingly distraught over the amount of garbage and litter I see dropped along our roads. Everyday I travel along W.Va....
WVVet25: you tried tell ing ME that as well,and you are simply WRONG. There are regulations regarding the covering of commercial trucks. The trash that is littering the roadside is from many individuals,NOT commercial trucks.Stop trying to absolve people from their responsibilities.

Andrew,I feel your pain. I also moved to Hedgesville from Vermont about a year and a half ago and could not understand how people could have so little concern for their naturally beautiful state. Part of the problem is that many people travel that way to the landfill. Garbage bags come out and they don't bother to stop and pick them up. One of the problems I see is that their are virtually no shoulders on any of the roads,so it makes it very difficult to stop with endangering yourself or others. We live in North Ridge,off Little Georgetown Rd. Several weeks ago my husband and I spend about an hour cleaning up the road of bags of trash and garbage that were right by our entrance. It looks like 1,the bag pops out of some pickup truck on the way to the dump. and 2) another car hits it and breaks open the bag. When I deigned to bring up the subject of people have some concern for their environment and beautiful state,some people "encouraged" me to go back where I came from.It is

I refuse to shop at any stores at the Food Lion shopping center on Roaring Lion Drive off Route 9 until they pick up the trash on their lot and the vacant lot next door. I encourage others to do the same.

The roads are filled with trash and the jails are filled with many who would love the chance to get outside everyday.

Did any of you happen to see the La-Z-boy chair that was left on the shoulder of the Rt. 9 Bypass a few days ago? Whoever dumped it there had to pull over to the side of that busy highway and unload that chair from their truck or car, and then take off and hope they weren't seen.
What kind of person does stuff like that?

obviously this person is ignorant to the fact that the LANDFILL is located in Hedgesville,and that it's the GARBAGE TRUCKS that are losing the trash going to the dump from a 20 mile radious. The letter shows TRUE ingorance,"simple" or not.

DENVER — A winter storm moved into metro Denver Wednesday night with rain, thunder, lightning and soft hail. The strange winter thunderstorm finally turned to snow in the city thanks to cold air pouring into the region around 9 p.m.
Accumulation was light in metro Denver, with maybe an inch of snow mostly on grassy surfaces. However, a Winter Weather Advisory was issued for locations south and east of metro Denver including Castle Rock.
A Winter Weather Advisory was also called in the mountains, where 4-8″ of snow was expected. Travel was also expected to be difficult and slow in the mountains Thursday.
High temperatures will struggle to reach 40 degrees in Denver Thursday. And temperatures, which had soared into the mid 60s the past few days, are expected to dip into the 40s through next week.

Char cloth
Char cloth (also called charpaper) is a swatch of fabric made from vegetable fiber (such as linen, cotton or jute) that has been converted via pyrolysis into a slow-burning fuel of very low ignition temperature. It can be ignited by a single spark that can in turn be used to ignite a tinder bundle to start a fire.[1][2] It is sometimes manufactured at home for use as the initial tinder when cooking or camping and historically usually provided the "tinder" component of a tinderbox. It is often made by putting cloth into an almost airtight tin with a small hole in it, and cooking it in campfire coals until the smoking slows and the cloth is properly charred.
Charcloth ignites with even the smallest spark, and is therefore commonly used with a flint and steel.

And under what constitutional theory do they make that assertion?
What part of the Constitution authorizes the government to provide one with health insurance? If you can't afford health insurance, why is that any problem of mine as a taxpayer?
Here's James Madison - the "Father of the Constitution" - on the subject: "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
The Constitution guarantees equality of opportunity, not of outcome.
Everyone has the same opportunity to buy the best insurance they can afford and I'm sure that no matter what happens, Bill Gates is always going to be able to afford better health care than I can.
Let's look at this another way: I have a right to own a Porsche. I can't afford a Porsche. How do I get the government to buy a Porsche for me?

A 40-foot pyramid of logs assembled for Texas A&M University's traditional pre-Homecoming bonfire collapsed early today, killing at least nine students and injuring 28.
Texas A&M president Ray Bowen said that as of noon, rescuers believed they had located at least one and possibly more students still alive and trapped in the rubble, based on information from sound-detection equipment.
A university spokeswoman identified four of the students killed as Christopher Breen of Austin; Jerry Self, a sophomore engineering technology major from Arlington; Geramy Frampton, a senior psychology major from Turlock, Calif.; and Brian McClain, a freshman agriculture major from San Antonio. The other two victims' identities were not immediately available.
Bowen said the 28 students' injury vary and some were in "quite serious shape."
In the hours after the 2:30 a.m. collapse, rescuers pulled four students from the rubble, said Bart Humphreys, a fire department spokesman. One student wasn't pulled free until more than six hours later.
Workers were tapping on logs and ordering spectators to be quiet and not move around so they could hear if anyone was still alive. Cranes were removing the logs gingerly to search for more students. The structure is designed to twist inward and collapse on itself as it burns.
Sixty to 70 students were on top of the logs when the accident happened in a field on the northeast corner of the campus, according to university officials. A maximum of 70 students are allowed on the stack at one time.
"Every piece of wood in that pile is unstable and every piece of wood that moves affects other pieces of lumber," Humphreys said.
Students were gathered near the scene holding hands and praying while the rescue efforts continued.
"The scene right now is a scene of disbelief," said Sallie Turner, editor of the Battalion, the student newspaper. "A lot of the students just feel it's surreal."
Patrick Freshwater, a so-called "pothead" because of the hard hats the students wear while helping assemble the bonfire, was helping clear away the logs today after the accident.
"I've never seen anything like this," Freshwater said. "It's something you don't ever want to feel. I went to my class and there was nobody there. The teacher wasn't even there, because no one can go to class when this is going on."

Officials did not have an explanation for the collapse, but said engineers would be examining the site. Rusty Thompson, assistant director of the Memorial Student Center and the bonfire faculty adviser, said students told him "there was just a sudden movement. Five to seven seconds and it was on the ground."
At St. Joseph Regional Health Center, three victims were in critical condition; one was in serious condition; three were in fair condition and five were treated and released, according to the hospital's Web site. A spokesman, Al Guevara, said the injuries ranged from fractures to internal trauma.
Another 13 students were taken to College Station Medical Center, where two were in serious condition with broken bones and 11 others were being treated for minor injuries and were expected to be released, said spokesman Joe Buser.
Officials were performing head counts at the university's residence halls in an effort to account for everybody who may have been working on the structure.
The annual bonfire tradition began 1909 when Texas A&M was still an all-male military academy to get students fired up for the big football game against archrival Texas. The only year the bonfire was not lit was 1963, following President John F. Kennedy's assassination.
With input from professional engineers, students cut the logs and construct the structure themselves over the course of several weeks. Cranes and tractors lift the multiple stacks of full-size logs, then students bale them together.
This year's bonfire was supposed to reach 55 feet and be lit on Thanksgiving night. Students were working on the fourth of six stacks when the accident occurred.
The Aggies are set to play Texas on Nov. 26, the day after Thanksgiving.
Bowen said this year's bonfire will be canceled, but he didn't know if the tradition will be abolished permanently.
"It's a very important tradition to us, but those decisions must be made at a calmer time," he said.
At this point, regents' concern is for the families of the victims and to see that they are taken care of, said Don Powell of Amarillo, regents chairman.
"We're going to put our arms around the A&M family," Powell said. "This is a very sad day for the A&M family."
Terry Howard, a member of the Amarillo Aggie Moms' Club, said this morning she had spoken with her son, Arick, a cadet band member who was not injured.
"I'm thanking God my son wasn't hurt," Howard said. "But I can feel for the families of the others."
A memorial service was scheduled for 7 p.m.
Turner said some students support dropping the annual event. "I've spoken to quite a few who say it's not worth it," she said.
"Bonfire is one of the most sacred traditions to Texas A&M's campus," Ms. Turner said. "It's one of the status symbols of our university. ... People say this is historic because this is the end of bonfire."
Among the students who had been scheduled for the work crew was Brent Huckabay of Amarillo.
Huckabay's father, Wade Huckabay, said he had talked with his son this morning, who arrived at the bonfire site moments after the collapse, and described a panicked scene.
Brent Huckabay could not be reached for further comment by press time today.
Charles Hill of Crockett told WBAP-AM that his son, Caleb, was on the stack when it fell.
"He happened to be very fortunate. He has only a broken arm and a broken nose. He fell about 50 feet," Hill said. "Caleb is very emotional and very scared. Being part of the tradition, he feels a responsibility for those who have been injured. In a sense his family has been hurt."
The bonfire ceremony usually features performances by the Aggie band, school cheers called "yells," and pep talks by administrators, football players and coaches.
But the project hasn't always been trouble-free: After the first stack collapsed in 1994, a second was built and ignited.
Today's accident was the third disaster related to Texas A&M this fall.
On Sept. 18, five people were killed in the crash of a plane used by the Ags Over Texas skydiving club, often used by Texas A&M University students and alumni.
On Oct. 10, six college students walking to a fraternity party about two miles west of the campus were killed by a pickup truck driver who had fallen asleep, police said. The victims were four students from Baylor University, one from Texas A&M and one from Southwest Texas State.
An emotional Gov. George W. Bush said today his heart goes out to the parents of the students who were killed.
"I just can't imagine what that means to have that happen to them," the governor said in an interview on CNN. "It's sad, it's tough."

My first live sporting event (not including high school football) was when my dad took me and my brother to watch the Astros and Joe Niekro take on the Reds and Tom Seaver. I don't remember much about the game, but I do remember that it was pouring rain when we came home and my mom had peanut butter chews waiting for us because it was my sister's birthday.
The moment, however that always makes me think of my dad was when I was a little kid watching the Oilers take on the Steelers in the AFC Championship game in 1979. The Steelers were the Oilers' most hated rival but they were also incredibly tough to beat. I was glued to the game and when Mike Renfro made what would have been the game-tying touchdown catch my brief excitement turned to outrage as the official ruled he was out of bounds. After watching the replays (which weren't allowed at that time for officials), it was obvious that the TD should have counted and the tears of anger started to well up in my eyes.
I stomped around the living room angrily yelling and hitting the floor. I remember being so mad that I couldn't contain myself and my mom made a comment for me to calm down. My dad, however, enjoying watching his first-born son have this much emotion invested in a sporting event, told my mom to "let him go". I'm sure my dad had gone through the same type of thing growing up and in a way I think he saw this as a young man's "sports rite of passage".
I was able to experience the same type of thing when Duke beat Butler this year. My sons, 3 and 5, decided during the Butler vs. Murray State game that Butler was their favorite team and they watched every Butler game from then on in the tournament. Needless to say they were crushed after the loss and threw stuffed animals around, started crying and wanted to fight each other.
As a Little Leaguer, I was a pretty good pitcher at an early age. In my little league we played as 10, 11 and 12 year olds and as an 11 year old we were taking on Brad Grant (he was that kid who was fully grown by the age of 12 – we all had somebody like that in our school who dominated) and the Giants.
At the beginning of the game, dads were pulled from the stands to ump first and third base which was common practice. My dad was the third-base ump. Now keep in mind, that despite being a marine and college football coach, he wasn't a "Little League parent" and he let coaches and umps do their jobs without yelling and screaming at them.
As the game wore on, my team had the lead over the Giants who were the best team in the league and I had a very good game going on the mound. The home-plate umpire was a pitcher who played at Lamar University at the time. In the final inning I had a one-run lead with two outs and two men on base. I gave up a shot to the fence that allowed one run to score and with the winning run rounding third, the throw came to the plate. It was a bang-bang play but we had him at home and the game should have ended, but the ump called him safe and we lost.
I will always remember my dad running down from third base to home plate to argue with the home plate umpire about the call. He wasn't out of control, but he definitely let him know that he blew the call. It was nice to see him have my back like that.
I've always remembered a letter that my dad sent to me back in 1994. I had decided to quite my full-time, sucky job where I was working about 55 to 60 hours per week in order to create my own business and try to make it into the sports field. It wasn't like I was leaving a job that paid me much money, but I was stepping into nothing. I had to create something and a backdoor into the sports world and that is what I did with my handicapping service, Pigskin Sports.
When Pigskin Sports was in its infancy (a phone line in my kitchen), my dad sent me a letter that said to be great, you have to take chances and you can't be afraid to take those chances. He said he was proud of me for taking that chance (my ex had a daughter I was raising as my own and I was only 24 at the time). By hustling, I created phone-in opportunities to talk football handicapping, NFL draft and NBA draft in several different markets and I eventually landed a weekend spot in 1995 on the brand-new 610 radio. My dad's encouragement contained within that letter meant quite a bit to me at that time and even as I read it now.
Now I'm the dad and it seems like every couple of months or so I run into a situation where I realize how my dad must have felt – whether it is anger, frustration, happiness or amazement at how special each of my boys are in different ways.
I know there are some of you out there who are reading this who have tremendous dads who are like your best friends. Maybe you had a dad you were close to who passed away recently. Maybe your dad was terrible and you want to be everything for your kids that your dad wasn't for you. Maybe you are estranged from your own children and you aren't involved in their lives as much as you should be or you would like to be. I just ask that all of the men who read this take a second to remember your own fathers/uncles/grandfathers/role models as well as think about what you can do or continue to do to make your sons and daughters the best people they can be.

Escondido's restored firetruck

In town for the Good Guys Del Mar Nats, this Kaiser Manhatten is a head turner... there aren't any in San Diego.
All original looking besides the rims, and the ghost flames are too faint to see from this distance, but I overheard people saying that they thought the headlights were from a Buick, and they aren't. The owner has had people speculate that it's a 4 door that has been made into a 2 door, it isn't. The cab and roofline look over large for the body, but it's the difference that the Kaiser company thought would set it apart from the dozens of other car copmanies in the 1950's.I took a full gallery of photos of it at the Good Guys Del Mar Nats: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/04/kaiser-manhatten-rest-of-gallery.html

Family's 'thank you' donation to hospital
A family has donated £5,000 to buy life-saving equipment for Watford Hospital as a thank you for caring for their terminally ill mother.
The Jane Kasler Foundation donated the money which will go towards a new defibrillator for the Hertfordshire hospital's intensive care unit.
Giorgina Kasler set up the foundation after her mother Jane died from ovarian cancer at the age of 49.
Ms Kasler, who is a member of Bushey United Synagogue, said: "We wanted to give something back to thank them for all their hard work and dedication.
"The care my mum got was incredible. The doctors were able to extend her life so she could see me graduate."
The foundation has raised over £20,000 through events such as the London Marathon and a ladies brunch, since it was established in 2013.
Watford ICU sees an average of 900 adult patients every year. The unit's matron, Sarah Lafbery, said: "The equipment will be a huge benefit to a great number of our patients in the future."

The fennel and cauliflower was awesome. I've never eaten a fennel bulb, just the seeds. It was yummy with curry. What isn't better with curry?
I'm starting my first 30 day challenge tomorrow. I've gone a week here or there without sugar, but haven't done a full primal diet. I don't eat much dairy or wheat already? It's the sugar that's going to be challenging for me. I'm very apprehensive about the first week. I hate the sugar withdrawal.
A little about me. I'm 33,married with three girls ranging from 4 to 12. My husband is pretty much on board, but I can see him straying a bit this month. He said that he's excited to do this with me this month.
I've had my last bread. I'm starting my 30 days earlier than I was planning. I'm ready. I have marks book and cookbook and I just bought Everyday Paleo. I swear that book was written just for me.
I'm doing the challenge because I think it's the best way to eat. I hhave a disorder that. I think may go away with a better diet and I have a lot of weight to lose. Since I turned 30,it's seemed like my health has only been going down hill too fast for my age.
Tonight I'm going to make a whole chicken with curry roasted fennel and cauliflower. I've never roasted fennel so I hope it turns out well.

44! Haha That's what I get for trying to type on my phone. That's supposed to be 4.
I'll look for the June thread. Thanks!
I didn't get around to listing my stats yesterday. I want to keep track of a couple stats to check my progress in a month. I can't believe I'm listing this in print.
My weight this morning was 240, down from 242 yesterday.
Waist: 46
total cholesterol: 212
I didn't feel like taking other measurements. I'm more concerned about my waist measurement than the others.
I also want to get my cholesterol checked in a couple months. If I get my total below 200, I'll get a discount on my health insurance.
I'm doing pretty well today. My hands are really swollen. I'm also feeling hungrier than normal. I'm not usually hungry in the morning.
So far, I've eaten:
B - 3 big strawberries, 3 links of sausage
S - unsweetened tea, 2 tsp coconut oil, a few slices of turkey, half a banana
L - will be chicken and a salad
Day 1 is over!!! Yesterday kicked my butt. I didn't know the carb flu would start so soon for me. I thought I had a couple days. I have been so lethargic. I don't have as bad of a headache as I did yesterday, but my arms and legs feel like lead.
I was really tempted to eat some dark chocolate, but I didn't want to eat any sugar. I want to get through the change from running on carbs to fat faster. I did make coconut flour blueberry muffins. They were.....mmmm...edible....
I did a lot of searching last night on other people's experiences with the low carb flu. Some people talked about it lasting for weeks or months. I hope that's not the case for me. I wish I would have dropped a little more gradual this week, but when I've tried to do that before, I never fully committed. I feel like stopping cold turkey is better for me.
I also realize that I need more groceries. I did not have a good variety of food yesterday, but then I felt like crap in the afternoon and didn't want to go anywhere. I'll go get more food today.
Good move to get more food! I found that as long as I could eat and didn't try to restrict myself that I got through OK. It was when I added the diet mentality to the primal concepts that I really did myself damage, lol. Hang in there. . .

I started feeling much better after lunch today. I went to the international grocery store to see what goodies I could find. I picked up some ghee and vegetables. I also got a young coconut. It's been years since I had one. I blended the meat, water, cinnamon, vanilla, and ice together. It was so amazing that I felt like I was having a tropical cocktail. It was welcomed treat.
B: 4 links of sausage, coconut flour muffin
L: 2 trader joe's chicken sausages, roasted cauliflower and bell peppers
D: steak, broccoli (and mashed potatoes, I know, but I could have done worse)
S: coconut drink, a few pecans, a few dried cherries, a couple slices of turkey
I think I ended up with about 1600 - 1700 calories for the day.
I didn't get an opportunity to post yesterday. I probably thought about cupcakes 500 times yesterday. It was rough, but I made it through the day (with the help of a lara bar). I was a little higher in carbs than I wanted to be. Probably around 85, but I'm not sweating it.
I'm finding that the hard part is eating enough calories. I barely made it to 1300 yesterday and I felt like I ate a ton. Maybe I should have a bit more coconut oil.
I had 4 turkey sausages and 2 small eggs for breakfast. I'm lucky to get cheap eggs from someone near our country home. They're outrageous here in the city. I feel so hoity toity saying that I have a country home. haha both of my homes are very modest for a family of 5. It is nice to have somewhere to go play on the weekends.
Had a salad for lunch, but it wasn't very big. I'm going to cook myself a hamburger for second lunch.
I am feeling a little more energetic today. Not as much cravings, unless I'm up close to something. I made the girls pb&j for lunch and it did look pretty good to me, but I wasn't overwhelmed with the need to eat it.
Even more energy today and less cravings. I'm averaging about 1400 calories a day. Carbs have been around 50 or 60. I'm happy with that.
I was surprised to find that my plantars fasciitis was much less painful when I woke up this morning. I've had it for three years. I was going to the doctor and it was getting better, but came back after going off the anti inflammatory.
My youngest seems more interested in eating vegetables. She ate quite a bit of her salad, half an avocado, and a chicken strips for lunch. I'm so glad that avocados are one of her favorites. My oldest will be the hardest to find foods for. She has been vegetarian from birth. I wish I knew then what is known now. I wouldn't have dated a vegan. She will eat sweet potatoes, carrots, and raw spinach. And too many soy foods. I've been weening them off.
I need to work on me first and get myself healthy before i can worry about my husband and kids. I've lost 5 lbs in 5 days. I know it's going to taped down, but it's still fun to see the scale to down. I'm usually starving and then binging by this day in a lower calorie diet. I can't believe I'm satisfied on so little calories.

Been a depressing week for AGO.
I feel very good about this stock. I really believe that these guys will put this into run off because of S&P's stupidity. It will hurt the states issuing muni bonds since they will be paying higher interest rates without the insurance.But based on what Frederico said on the KBW conference call he basically said S&P is locked into stupidity mode. He gave a very persuasive presentation. Have a good weekend and try to ignore the current market price of AGO. There is plenty of value here .

1) Can anyone shed some light on how to setup product cost collectors in REM environment? & how to maintain them?
Also, how to process the preliminary costing for product cost collector? Why is it done and how often?
2) In MFBF transaction, when we post scrap, system post the scrap on the BOM components and not on the parent material?
E.g.: I have a finished good ABC, having BOM components 1,2,3. When i post the scrap for 100 units of ABC, system scraps the components 1,2,3 as per the BOM. I dont see any Scrap posting for ABC for 100 units. If i want to determine, how much finished goods were scraped, where do i get the information?
Thank you guys..
1. In REM environment, each production version should have product cost collector.
you have to create it through tcode: KKF6N.
a. Give material and click on new entry (in left side of KKF6N)
b. then it will open one popup , there you have to give Prodution Version say for ex: 0001.
c. then click on confirm.
d.then it will ask for preliminary cost running, give YES.
e.now it will calculate the cost.
f. whenever you r creating Production version you have to create Product cost collector for that version.
Pls find the below links for your ref,
Check and revert back.
PCC is created with respect to Production Version. everytime you create Production Version you have to create PCC for this.
There are two ways of Creating PCC.
The material for which monthly PV create:-
When u create PCC check list given below: ---
1) There should be tick in checkbox Product cost collector in "Order type dependent parameter" controlling area.
2) All the Production version should be created with valid date.
3) PCC should be creating in the range of Production version valid date then it will fetch the data in PCC.
4) First create Production version & then create PCC.
T code:----- KKf6n
The material for which yearly PV create:-
Use T code:-KKF6M for mass creation
Check and revert in case of any query.
Thanks and Regards,
Dheeraj Rawal
How often should we run the preliminary costing? And is there any mass transaction for executing preliminary costing? Can we use CK40N for preliminary costing?
Any ideas on the MFBF question?
Dear Vicky,
1.Product Cost Collectors can be created for a set of materials using T.code KKF6M and preliminary
cost estimate can be carried out using T.Code MF30(for a set of materials).
2.MFBF is used for production booking or production confirmation for carrying out Assembly
backflush,component backflush and activity backflush.
3.CK40N cannot be used for carrying out preliminary cost estimate and it's used for carrying out standard cost estimate for a set of materials.
thank you..
so, if i have to post the scrap at the finished good level in an REM environment? How do i do it?
Is there any other transaction apart from MFBF where i will be able to post the scrap at the FG level?
Hi vicky,
If you want to post the FG material you can use the transaction MB1A with 551 movement.
This is used to scrap the particular material against cost center.
In MFBF you can scrap the components with reference to the FG or SFG materials.
hi santosh,
well if i post using 551, then i am not using cost collectors..i am directly posting to a cost center..is that a standard process in REM environment?
Thank you..
Hi Vicky,
I am throwing some light on Product Cost Collector.
Product Cost Collectors can be created for a set of materials using T.code KKF6M and preliminary
cost estimate can be carried out using T.Code MF30(for a set of materials).
§ In Repetitive Manufacturing, all costs attributed to the production of a material are collected on a product cost collector and settled periodically (period-based Controlling).
§ The product cost collector is settled periodically according to the posting period (for example monthly) .
§ For a material , product cost collector is made for each version
§ The actual cost collected can be viewed through product cost collector.
o Controlling Integration in Backflushing
§ The product cost collector collects the incurred actual costs.
§ In the final backflush, the system automatically posts both the component's material costs and the production activities to the product cost collector. The product cost collector is therefore debited for the component's material costs and the production activities. In the repetitive production profile the activities are set to be backflushed according to the preliminary costing for the product cost collector. The product cost collector is credited with the valuation price (materials having standard price) or with the moving average price of the assembly (materials having moving average price).
§ Overhead costs gets debited to the product cost collector periodically via an overhead run using the period-end closing function in Controlling.
§ Using the period end closing function in controlling, product cost collector is settled periodically. Any difference in the Target (Planned) cost & Actual costs of the product cost collector get posted to the Job Variance Account.
Hope the concept is clear.

Ensure that your family members have the following evidence, which will be helpful during the visa application process:
· Invitation letter from you: Write a letter of invitation that includes the following: your name and your reason for living in the US, the names of your family members who wish to visit, the purpose and approximate length of the visit, and whether you will provide room and board or any other financial assistance for the visit.
· Your evidence of funding: If you provide room and board or any other specific expenses of the trip (such as airfare), you should supply evidence of your funding such as a bank statement or employment letter. There is no minimum dollar amount that you must reflect;but you should indicate an amount that is reasonable for the level of support you are providing.
· Evidence of your status in the US: provide your family members with a copy of your I-20 (do NOT send the original) and other documents verifying your status in the US. (It is not necessary to get a new I-20 when inviting family members).
· Evidence of intent to return home: Your family members must prove that they will return home after visiting the US. Documents showing employment, property ownership, close family relations in home country, or enrollment in school (in the home country) are considered good evidence of intent to return home.
· Family Members' Evidence of Funding: If your family members intend to cover their own expenses, they should provide a bank statement, employment verification or other evidence of funding.
The US State Department/Bureau of Consular Affairs has a website (www.travel.state.gov) with additional information about applying for a tourist visa.

Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker are the best known, though many of the less developed islands, including picture-perfect Tobacco Caye, are gaining in popularity. The interior has remained relatively untouched, thanks to a national emphasis on conservation: in the west, the dramatic landscape – especially the tropical forests and cave systems – of the Cayo District provides numerous opportunities for adventure-seekers. Inexpensive San Ignacio, the region's transport hub, gives access to the heights of the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve and the rapids of the Macal and Mopan rivers.

THERE has been an interesting evolution in the management of facial fractures. The ever increasing number of automobile accidents have provided the impetus for the development of simpler and more effective methods of treatment.
The latest trend is toward the direct surgical approach in the treatment of facial fractures. We believe that this method of management produces better anatomical and functional results and obviates later complications so difficult to treat.
It is the purpose of this report to outline the management of severe fractures involving the orbital floor and to stress the advantages of the direct approach using prosthetic implants where necessary. Our anesthetic management will also be described since it simplifies the handling of these injuries.
In 1928, in a report on fractures about the orbit, Gill mentioned the use of a silver wire suture in order to maintain fragments in old depressed fractures following reduction by refracturing.1

About the Book
There should be nothing to fear; Eve's safe. But I can't go back. Not when my nightmares have resurfaced—the ones in which the only person I've ever loved is ravaged by a vampire bite.
If she only knew how close I am to losing control . . .
It doesn't matter that I promised Eve, and myself, I wouldn't sink my fangs into her perfect, unblemished skin. I know that one day my bloodlust will overcome my love and my promise. The only thing I don't know is how much longer I can fight the truth of my dreams: I will taste her . . . and when I do, I'll drain her dry.

Featured Golf News
First Grass Golf Course Opens in Kuwait
Kuwaits first grass golf course, Sahara Golf & Country Club, has welcomed its first golfers. The Peter Harradine-designed golf course is managed by PGA Golf Management.
Abdul Rahman Bahman, chairperson and director of the development company, said of the course: "We are providing world-class facilities at Sahara Golf and Country Club and are firmly putting Kuwait onto the golfing map. I am delighted to finally see our vision become reality and welcome golfers to Sahara Golf & Country Club."
Bahman added, "With the international and regional experience of PGA Golf Management, we will also provide world-class service standards and are sure the club will be a great success and continue to change the perception of Kuwait to visitors and companies.
PGA Golf Management will oversee the grand opening and the ongoing operations of Kuwaits first grass course. Keith Haslam, operations director for PGA Golf Management, said, "We are delighted to be managing Sahara Golf and Country Club. The golf course, academy and clubhouse have been designed and built to the highest of standards and will undoubtedly be Kuwaits premier leisure facility. It is fantastic to see the golfers of Kuwait enjoying this excellent facility."
Sahara Golf and Country Club boasts an 18-hole, 6,700-yard, par-70 championship course that will be fully illuminated for nighttime golf. A golf academy will allow PGA Golf Management to help develop the game in the region. The course and academy are now open, with the luxury 9,000-square-foot clubhouse opening this January. Along with a golf shop, the clubhouse will contain ladies-only health and fitness facilities, tennis and squash courts, a number of food and beverage outlets, and a small business center for corporate clientele.
The contract is the second for PGA Golf Management in the region. The company also provides management services for Riffa Golf Club in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Riffa Golf Club was also the first grass golf course in Bahrain, and the two facilities will share their management expertise.
"It is a very exciting opportunity for us," said Michael Braidwood, general manager of Riffa Golf Club. "Sahara Golf and Country Club has a very similar set up to our own club, and the experiences we bring with us from Riffa will be very valuable to the clubs owners."

South Carolina and the military are supposed to go together like peas and carrots.
If You Go
What: Lt. Dan Band, a benefit for the Independence Fund
When: Sept. 14
Where: Johnson Hagood Stadium
How much: General admission tickets are $20. VIP tickets are available for $50.
More Info: Online at ldw4.org.
So it's a little disappointing that an event for wounded veterans here next month may be cancelled because it seems some folks are not, uh, supporting the troops.
The Independence Fund, a nonprofit that provides medical equipment and therapy for severely injured veterans, has planned a concert for Sept. 14 at The Citadel's Johnson Hagood Stadium featuring the Lt. Dan Band, led by actor Gary Sinise.
Yes, Lt. Dan from "Forrest Gump."
Sinise and his band play dozens of shows around the world each year to support our troops. They have sold out Waterfront Park in Beaufort three years running. That's 4,500 tickets each year.
Independence Fund organizers thought they would provide the Lt. Dan Band a bigger stage this time, so a few months ago they moved the event here.
And so far they've sold 300 tickets.
Morale booster?
Steve Danyluk, the founder and president of the Independence Fund, is perplexed.
Beaufort admittedly is a military town, but Charleston is much larger, yet the show is going practically unnoticed.
"Ticket sales are non-existent, local sponsorship is non-existent," he says. "Word either isn't getting out, or no one's interested."
The Citadel is working with the group — the college is all about supporting disabled veteran causes. And when the Corps returns, no doubt many of them will buy tickets.
But the whole Corps of Cadets wouldn't be enough. Danyluk says he fully expected to sell all 20,000 tickets. They're only $20 each — a pretty good price for a night's entertainment, and to show veterans they are appreciated.
That's why, if ticket sales don't pick up, he's going to pull the plug on the show. A mostly empty stadium, he says, would be demoralizing to veterans.
"I'm not going to do that to them," Danyluk says.
And that's a decision he shouldn't have to make.
A needed support net
Danyluk knows a lot about the psyche of severely injured soldiers. He knows what they have to deal with when they get back to the world.
When he was in the Marines, he saw policies that denied vets some of the equipment they needed to survive. It bothered him.
Instead of complaining, he founded the Independence Fund. He and some other veterans run the charity in addition to their normal jobs.
"It's amazing what you can do in your spare time," Danyluk says.
In six years they've raised more than $700,000 to buy veterans all-terrain wheelchairs that military insurance won't cover. They arrange events to help veterans connect with each other, because once these soldiers are out of the service, their support net largely disappears.
Danyluk says the vets will come to Charleston no matter what. There's a retreat at Palm Key, near Ridgeland, where a group will gather for seminars and therapy. Then they come up here for a Warrior Ride and a 5K run.
The concert is supposed to be the highlight of the weekend. And Charleston needs to make sure that it is.
These days, politicians throw around "support the troops" to rally voters. And some of these same people then cut funding for veterans' insurance and education.
Until the government wises up and makes sure that anyone shot at while defending this country gets free education and medical care for life, there is a real need for groups like the Independence Fund.
Right now, the easy way to support the troops is to support this show.
And that's all there is to say about that.

US won't cut farm subsidies unless others do-Portman
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States will demand other countries make steep cuts in their farm subsidies and tariffs before considering any change to its own programs, the chief U.S. negotiator said on Wednesday as lawmakers mulled how world trade talks could reshape the U.S. farm safety net.
U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman assured wary members on the Senate Agriculture Committee he would insist any new world trade deal provide substantial new export opportunities to compensate U.S. farmers for federal subsidy cuts.
"The U.S. is already the most open developed country, and we will benefit the most from bold trade liberalization," U.S. Trade Representative Rob Portman said in prepared remarks.
"However, we will not consider changes to our own programs unless the other WTO (World Trade Organization) members commit to open their markets to our goods and agree to reduce their own subsidy and trade-distorting programs," Portman said.
He repeated the U.S. position that the European Union and Japan, which spend more on their farmers than the United States, must be required to cut more in any new trade deal.
World trade talks are at a critical juncture before a major World Trade Organization meeting in Hong Kong in December. International business groups have warned the talks could fail without an agreement soon on basic formulas for cutting farm tariffs and trade-distorting domestic farm payments and eliminating agricultural export subsidies.
The United States has been in discussions with the European Union to try to find common ground on farm trade issues. Portman will be in Paris on Thursday to continue those talks, which will be expanded on Friday to include Brazil and India.
WTO negotiators agreed in July 2004 on a framework for finishing the agriculture talks, as well as negotiations on services and industrial goods. But little progress has been since. "We need to figure out a way to break the deadlock. Agriculture is the engine that drives the round," Portman said.
The intensified farm negotiations come at a time when many U.S. farmers have grown skeptical of trade deals, Sen. Pat Roberts, a Kansas Republican, told Portman.
"There's a yellow light warning in farm country. We're suffering from trade fatigue. They're a little suspect, a little weary of this animal we call free trade," he said.
If a deal is struck cutting trade-distorting farm subsidies, that would require Congress to "drastically change" traditional farm programs when it writes the 2007 farm bill, Sen. Tom Harkin, an Iowa Democrat, said. "We're going to have to make some pretty severe changes."
But U.S. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns told the panel that continuing U.S. programs in their current form could be "a very high risk for farmers." The WTO has already ruled the U.S. cotton program violates world trade rules in a case brought by Brazil, Johanns said. Other countries are currently considering whether to challenge the U.S. rice program, he said.
The current commodity-specific "approach to farm policy dates back 70 years to the Depression and the need to figure out how to save agriculture. It's a different world today. We need to be creative in how we approach agriculture," Johanns said. That could include redirecting farm spending toward programs such as conservation, crop insurance and risk management that have less impact on trade, he said.

An Economic Analysis of Trade Measures to Protect the Global Environment
Howard F. Chang
University of Pennsylvania Law School
Georgetown Law Journal, Vol. 83, No. 6, p. 2131, July 1995
This paper addresses the role of trade restrictions in support of policies to protect the global environment and proposes a more liberal treatment of these environmental trade measures (ETMs) than that adopted by dispute- settlement panels of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). The GATT Secretariat has recommended that countries like the United States rely on "carrots" rather than "sticks" to induce the participation of other countries in multilateral agreements. This paper defends the use of "sticks" on the ground that they encourage more restrained exploitation of the environment pending a multilateral agreement. First, "sticks" would discourage countries from harming the environment. Second, "carrots" create perverse incentives. Countries may seek to convince others that they derive large benefits from exploitation by engaging in a great deal of exploitation, so that other countries will offer large "carrots" to induce their restraint. This paper also addresses how GATT should limit the use of trade restrictions to prevent the protectionist abuse of trade measures.

Four committees direct Main Street Program
By Howell Dennis
CROWLEY – As previously reported by the Post Signal, the Main Street Program held a two-day workshop at the Wells Fargo building Wednesday and Thursday. Local businessmen and civic leaders were encouraged to give their input and ideas for helping the project progress efficiently and smoothly for Crowley's residents.
The program is geared around a four point approach with the focus being on promotions, design, organization and economic restructuring. Committees were formed to focus on each of these points.
The promotion committee's goal is stated as promoting and marketing the assets of the community. Their projects include parking, retail sales, information distribution, the marketing of downtown events, and construction.
The goal of the design committee is to assist property owners in improving building appearances and maintaining the image and character of the downtown area. The design committee's projects are to help in coordinating the facade designs for downtown businesses and to follow up with business owners on their specific needs during the time the construction is going on.
The organization committee's objective is relatively basic. It is their goal to get as many Crowley citizens involved with the project as they can. Their projects involve recruiting, fundraising, membership drives, and raising awareness through press releases.
The economic restructuring committee is to work with exiting and potential businesses in the area. Their intentions include recruiting new businesses with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, forming a wish list for the recruitment of these businesses, and working with potential business owners to obtain assistance and training of new businesses.
"It's going to take a total community effort to get this project going," said Rita Johnson, Main St. Manager. "We all live here, we're all concerned about our town and volunteering to help us out is a good way to show your support."
Anyone seeking more information concerning the Main Street Program, including volunteering or becoming a committee member should contact Rita Johnson, Main St. Manager, at (337) 788-4123.

What tools do security professionals and hackers rely on? It's a question whose answer changes as quickly as the online threat landscape, but there are some favourites in the current toolkit that never go out of fashion.
Far from being major, comprehensive attack platforms, these utilities usually do one obscure thing quickly and reliably. Their developers simply keep updating them to add new facilities and, crucially, to make them easier to use.
Some of these utilities are online, while others can be carried on a USB pen drive. The common factor is that they're available to anyone. While every security researcher and hacker typically carries a small armoury of such tools, they have their own ways of using them to assess security or mount attacks.
Dig services
The first step in mounting an attack or securing an online information resource is to assess what is visible to others over the internet. For large organisations, more than just the mail and web servers will be visible. Sometimes this is a mistake on the part of the network administrator, but sometimes it's done for misplaced expediency.
However, both these reasons can lead to a full-scale exploit of the internal network. The best and safest way to assess what's visible is to use a public Dig service.
Dig stands for 'Domain Information Groper'. Such services interrogate the global DNS system for details about a target. Using a Dig service, you can uncover several classes of information, including the local DNS servers, web servers and mail servers (mail exchangers in DNS speak). It's sometimes also possible to uncover plenty of addresses of computers that really shouldn't be online, but which someone has added to DNS in the mistaken belief that others won't know they're there.
This goes against the maxim that 'security through obscurity is no security'. One such Dig service is provided here. To get started, enter the name of a domain (without the 'www.') and click the button marked 'Dig'. Depending on how much information DNS holds about a domain, Dig's output can be very comprehensive, and gives a good overview of the parts of a network that can be seen from the internet.
The most important part of this information begins after the line containing the words 'ANSWER SECTION'. This gives the fixed IP addresses of any internet-facing servers. For a website hosted by a third-party company, this will be the IP address of the shared server on which the site resides.
You can focus the information returned by selecting the 'Type' dropdown menu. 'Network addresses' will return only the IP addresses of any server that can be contacted directly. You can also return only information about the mail exchangers and the domain's authoritative DNS nameservers.
Most Dig services let you try something called a zone transfer. This shouldn't be possible these days, but back when network administrators were less focused on security than keeping internet connectivity going, zone transfers were possible from many DNS nameservers.
A zone transfer is a transfer of authoritative domain information. It's meant to occur only between nameservers, but poorly configured nameservers will let anyone request one.
A zone transfer contains a long list of computers and their IP addresses, which, while not listed in DNS, have a direct connection to the internet and are vulnerable to attack. This information is ideal for hackers, who need to scan a range of IP addresses to build a list of targets without tripping any intrusion detection systems.
The next step is knowing which hosts are available on a network, and what ports they have open. The great granddaddy of port mappers is NMap.
It's grown into an essential tool for anyone interested in online security. NMap was originally a Linux command line tool, but it's been ported to Windows and given a snazzy GUI front end called Zenmap. The underlying NMap has a huge number of command line options, but Zenmap makes it considerably easier to use. Get the Windows version here.
The installer includes the WinPcap driver software that forms the special packets needed to probe the TCP/IP stacks of remote hosts, and gain information identifying the OS running on that host.
Once installation is complete, run Zenap and the user interface should appear. Enter the IP address of a computer on your own network in the 'Target' box, and select 'Quick scan' on the 'Profile' menu. Click 'Scan'. This produces an overview of which ports are open and listening on the target PC. This includes the MAC address of the target's network card, which Zenmap uses to determine the manufacturer.
This is the kind of information that a hacker will use to look up exploits that may grant him access or the ability to create mayhem due to bugs in the firmware on the network card. For a more comprehensive view of the machine, select 'Intense scan, all TCP ports' and click 'Scan'.
This fires a large number of packets at all 65535 ports on the target PC. It also interrogates the machine, revealing clues about its running OS. This information is vital in determining the next course of action to penetrate the system.
One of Zenmap's particularly useful features is the ability to scan an entire subnet for targets, which it then interrogates for details. Simply substitute the last number in the IP address for an asterisk ('192.168.0.*' for example). This is also a great way to see if anything has been connected to your network secretly.
Once we know what targets are available to a hacker who has penetrated our defences and can see our network, the next task is to try to discover what facilities each machine offers for exploit. This is important because, even if the hacker can't exploit them directly, they may well be able to interrogate them to produce much more useful information.
NBTEnum, originally written by Reed Arvin, is a very old utility that is now difficult to find, but don't let its age or obscurity fool you. NBTEnum can uncover shockingly large amounts of information from an unprotected Windows PC just by asking for it. You can currently download NBTEnum from the Packet Storm security website.
Open the ZIP file and move the contents into a new folder. NBTEnum is a command line utility, so open a command prompt and navigate to its directory.
To run enum, enter the command NBTEnum -q <ip address>, substituting the address of a Windows PC on your network where appropriate. If the target accepts connection requests via its NetBIOS service, NBTEnum will create a web page detailing what this shockingly indiscrete service tells it.
Open this in a browser and you should, at minimum, see that NBTEnum has enumerated the shares (if any) that the target says are available for remote mounting. If you know a username and password on the target computer, you can reveal a huge amount of information.
Enter NBTEnum -s <IP address> <username> <password>, making the necessary substitutions. NBTEnum generates more verbiage, but the resultant web page can offer masses of detail.
NBTEnum can also recover the open shares, users and groups, whether accounts are enabled, their lockout threshold and on Windows 7, a full list of services including which ones are currently running. This is all still possible because so many people insist on having no password, one that is simply guessed, or one that is the same as their username.
When I was a network security consultant, finding a network populated by targets running older versions of Windows usually meant a day running NBTEnum against them with a username of 'Guest' and no password. By default, the guest account was enabled and unprotected - perfect to shock network administrators into disabling such accounts.
We live in an increasingly wireless world, but the nature of a wireless signal means the information it carries is broadcast over a wide area. There are a large number of tools that can be used to survey the local Wi-Fi landscape, but one of the best is the Windows port of InSSIDder 2 by Metageek. You can download InSSIDer here.
When run, InSSIDer begins discovering and enumerating the Wi-Fi networks in range. The top half of the interface fills with details of the networks, including their security level. Those with 'none' are wide open for anyone to log in and look around. Those using the older WEP protection are potentially vulnerable to attack, because the algorithm has weaknesses that can be exploited.
In the average neighbourhood, there could be as many as three dozen networks in range, some without any protection. InSSIDer's also displays the Wi-Fi channel used by each router within range.
Change yours to a channel not used in your area and you could see an improvement in overall data transfer speeds.

On Pages 115-117 of the 2011 grand jury report on clergy sex abuse in the Philadelphia Archdiocese, citizen jurors described the dilemma of whether to recommend criminal charges against former Archbishop Anthony J. Bevilacqua.
After enduring months of distressing testimony, they had "no doubt" Bevilacqua endangered children with his "knowing and deliberate actions." But they could not prove the cardinal complicit in the specific abuse cases before them.
And then there was the awkward matter of Bevilacqua's health.
The cardinal had been subpoenaed to testify before a previous grand jury in 2003 and 2004. He was 80 at the time, and, based on 1,200 pages of oratory (see philly.com/testimony), sharp and in fighting form.

YOUNGSTOWN - The front portion of Ponderosa Park is set to be auctioned at a sheriff's sale at 1:30 p.m today at the Mahoning County courthouse.
The courthouse is located at120 Market St. in Youngstown and the Commissioners Conference Room is in basement.
Attorney Gary Rosati, representing the county, had asked the sheriff to reappraise the property in light of the sale amount received on the 'back' portion during the first auction in March.
The county declined that request, he said.
Consisting of about 141-acres, Ponderosa Park gained national fame as a country and western music hot spot in the1970s through the early 1990s and is located five miles north of Salem on state Route 45 in Goshen Township.
It also contained a campground.
The property was broken down into three large sections for auction to recover delinquent taxes dating to 1989-90.
Two sections were set for auction in March but the front part consisting of 45.45 acres was withdrawn at the last minute because of inadequate technical and legal descriptions on the land map, according to Rosati.
Equity Portfolio LLC Ltd., a Warren company representing the mortgage holder, placed the top bid of $700,000 on the 68.37-acre rear tract in that auction.
The property was appraised at $144,000 and the minimum bid was $96,000.
The second, more historic and valuable front section of the park that will be auctioned today includes the outdoor stage, guitar-shaped swimming pool and has been appraised at $225,000 with a $150,000 minimum bid (two-thirds the appraisal).
A third middle section consisting of the multi-deeded campgrounds won't be ready for auction for two years, Rosati said.
Rosati was hired by the county to foreclose on the property and assembled the auction data for the county "because of the extensive research" involved, Assistant Mahoning County Prosecutor Elizabeth Phillips said earlier this year.
She said the county didn't have the staff.
Before the first auction Rosati said the county was making no representation regarding the oil and gas leases while noting there was one well on the property, owned by a Canfield company, that was "issuing checks."
He added since it was a foreclosure sale all the liens "will be eliminated."
The park carried a debt of a couple of million dollars in March and Rosati noted it was over $10 million at one time.
Youngstown Attorney Leo Puhalla, representing Equity Portfolio, wouldn't say how high he would have bid for the back section after the March auction, but Rosati was surprised by the amount and explained the company had an interest in all the outstanding mortgages.
"I think the people are interested in the mineral rights ... they had a mortgage balance of over $1 million ... they would have gone over $1 million with all the back taxes," Rosati said at the time, adding, "I think the mortgage company was probably prepared to go quite a bit higher due to the amount owed on the lien."

MONTPELIER, Vt. - Former presidential candidate Howard Dean is creating a political organization to advance the issues that fueled his candidacy. So is his one-time campaign manager.
And while both the former Vermont governor and Joe Trippi say they intend to work in a complementary fashion, the efforts are spreading uncertainty among thousands of Web-savvy supporters of the fallen Democratic front-runner.
"I'm confused. Please answer. Is this separate from (Dean for America) or in conjunction with DFA? I think the point needs to be clarified," one person wrote recently on Trippi's Web site.
Wrote another, "Is their separation or not? This question goes repeatedly without answer ... The movement has Howard Dean at its heart and soul. It cannot continue onward with two or more divisions."
