Amarillo voters will be going to the polls Tuesday to vote for or against a bond issue proposal to expand and improve our park and library facilities.
This is an issue not to be taken lightly.
Every qualified voter should vote his or her wishes.
The bond issue would be for $31 million to pay out in 20 years at an approximate rate of 6 percent interest per year.
The total interest over 20 years will be in the neighborhood of $18 million, adding up to a grand total of nearly $50 million.
To pay this bond issue, it is proposed that an increase in taxes be levied on Amarillo property owners.
For a property with an assessed value of $67,000, the increase in taxes would be about $35 per year.
We voters can avoid this increase in taxes and not have to pay out $18 million over the next 20 years by simply voting "no" to the bond issue proposal.
To take the place of the bond issue, we can ask our city commissioners to come up with a long-range, carefully defined plan for the gradual expansion and improvement of our libraries and municipal parks.
I have faith in the ability and wisdom of our city commission in devising such a plan.
I urge voters to return a majority "no" vote to the bond issue.
Softball player
feels cheated
I just wanted to voice the disgust of my teammates and myself over the mishandling of an Amarillo Parks and Recreation Church League Softball game.
On Sept. 9, we were playing at Martin Road Field No. 4 when, because of a major power outage in the area, our game was halted in the fourth inning with approximately 25 minutes to go - and we were actually playing like a team for once.
We went home that night with the assurances of both the umpires and scorekeepers that the games would be resumed at a later date at the point they were stopped.
The game was rescheduled for Sept. 30 at 8:30 p.m. at the same park.
After playing a 7:30 game, we were informed that "they had lost the old scoring sheet," and the game would be started over as if we had never begun playing the first game. We were disgusted and amazed that such little care was taken to maintain the integrity of the previous meeting.
This was the last game of the season; the winner finished the season in first place and the loser in second. When it was all said and done, we lost a game we had been winning when the lights went out on Sept. 9.
I'm not trying to say we would have won the Sept. 9 game had it been resumed like we were told it would, but at least we would have had a fair situation for everyone involved.
I've been playing softball in city of Amarillo leagues for 12 years and have never had a problem with its handling of any of the games until now.
I just hope that, in the future, the city will stick to what it tells you or just plain not tell you anything. It would be better to not know than to have a surprise at the last minute.
I am not aware of how any of the other games being played at Martin Road that night were handled, but I hope they were treated fairly and afforded the opportunity to finish their original game.

Increased rates of resistance of Streptococcus pneumoniae to currently available macrolides such as azithromycin and clarithromycin have increased the challenges of treating community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). In addition, despite the decrease in pneumococcal disease in infants and young children due to the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, the prevalence of strains not covered by these vaccines is increasing.
Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines have not been very effective in protecting vulnerable adults, particularly seniors. There are also a number of other indications for which macrolides have been the antibiotic of choice, but rising resistance rates have reduced their effectiveness. Thus, there is a need for the continued investment in the development and launch of new antibiotics, particularly macrolides, to treat bacterial pneumonia.
On April 7, World Health Day, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) issued a report that recommended ways to encourage pharmaceutical companies to reinvigorate anemic pipelines. During the past three decades, IDSA's report points out, the number of new antibacterials approved by the FDA has dwindled from 29 between 1980 and 1989 to 9 between 2000 and 2009. It noted that in 2003, of 89 approved drugs, none were antibiotics. For our full story about how regulatory constraints and lower ROI has been impeding investment and thus development, click here.
In the U.S., pneumonia and influenza combined are the greatest causes of death due to an infectious disease. Macrolides have historically been the treatments of choice for CABP as they cover the broad spectrum of pathogens involved including S. pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Hemophilus influenzae, and atypical bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila and Chlamydophila pneumoniae. Overall, pneumococcal pneumonia has been shown to carry 12% mortality. This level of mortality is exceeded only by Legionella species among community-acquired pathogens.
CABP is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in patients 65 years and older. In the U.S., CABP is the sixth most common cause of death, the leading cause of death from infectious diseases, and affects about 1% of patients over 65 each year. Pneumococcal macrolide resistance has shown a significant increase since 2000. In the PROTEKT study (2005–2006), of 6,747 Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates collected at 119 centers in the U.S., macrolide resistance was as high as 35.3%. Macrolide resistance has continued to increase in the U.S. and worldwide.
Currently, only a 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPV) for use in adults and a 13-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine (PCV, Prevnar 13®) for use in infants are available. However, the existence of more than 90 distinct serotypes, differing in their chemical compositions, potential immunogenicity, and epidemiological impact on different population groups has largely complicated the development and evaluation of antipneumococcal vaccines. Nonvaccine serotypes appear to replace vaccine strains and continue to cause infections.
Use of the 7-valent PCV has resulted in a dramatic decrease in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in infants and young children and a decrease in spread to unvaccinated infants, children, and adults. However, the gap between the protection of adults and that of infants has widened, although IPD rates in un-immunized infants and adults over age 65 have dropped in the U.S. Despite widespread use of PPV23 (Pneumovax®) and indirect benefits of Prevnar vaccination of young children, there remains a significant clinical and economic burden of pneumococcal disease among older U.S. adults. It has been reported that among the 91.5 million U.S. adults aged ≥50 years, there were:
• 24,801 cases of IPD (bacteremia: 23,342; meningitis: 1,459),
• 1,089,152 cases of nonbacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia. Of these, 165,113 required inpatient care, and 924,039 required outpatient care only,
• 57,335 pneumococcal-related deaths are estimated to occur yearly.
Annual direct and indirect costs are estimated to total $4.1 billion and $628.8 million, respectively.
The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is only 60–70% effective against invasive pneumococcal disease, has poor efficacy in high-risk groups, has had limited impact on mortality, and has not shown efficacy in adult pneumonia. A meta-analysis of 22 studies by the Cochrane Collaboration concluded that there was no evidence to support routine use of the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (Pneumovax) for prevention of all-cause pneumonia or mortality.

Groups Share Information on Clean Up the World Weekend
21 September 2008: On the occasion of the 16th Clean Up the
World Weekend, which was celebrated from 19-21 September 2008 under the theme
"Start today-Save tomorrow-Clean Up Our Climate," Google and Clean Up the World
launched a website that allows groups to share information about themselves and
the activities they undertook as part of the Clean Up the World Weekend.
Kiernan, Chair of the campaign, said he hoped the use of Google Maps would
"motivate new communities to get involved in the campaign." Speaking about the
work of groups involved in the initiative, Achim Steiner, Executive Director of
the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), said, "climate change is the number one
issue facing humanity at the turn of the 21st century – lives are threatened as
is the very fabric of all countries and communities. So let's all start today
to save tomorrow." [UNEP Press Release; Clean Up the World website]

Victor – Dr. Leonard Frank Ruggiero, 66, passed away on Thursday, May 2, 2013 in his home after a long fight with a difficult degenerative disease. Len was born in Orange, NJ on January 30, 1947 to his loving parents Helen and Frank Ruggiero. He was their only child. Highlights of his life were his athletic achievements, his loving family, and his long career as a research scientist.
After receiving numerous football and baseball scholarships out of high school, he played football for both Rutgers and Cornell Universities. He went on to earn his doctorate in wildlife ecology from Utah State University in 1975, and he worked for many years in both Washington state and Wyoming for the U.S. Forest Service before achieving his life long dream of settling down with his family in Montana. He worked at the U.S. Forest Services' Rocky Mountain Research Station in Missoula as a project leader for the remaining 15 years of his career. He primarily studied the ecology of Canadian lynx, wolverine, martin and fisher. During this time, Len commuted from his home in the Bitterroot Valley where he continued to live out his dreams of raising and riding his horses and fishing on the Bitterroot River. Len was extremely passionate about the preservation of the natural world, and he was unwavering in his dedication to science. He was also genuinely loved and respected by his colleagues, with whom he felt honored to have worked. He retired in 2010 with over a hundred scientific publications and four edited books to his credit.
Len, however, would have undoubtedly cited his family and his thoughtful creation of their home as his greatest achievement. In 1969 he married the love of his life and his wife of 43 years, Debra Ruggiero, with whom he had three children. His dedication to, and love for, his family was unsurpassed. He also held a special place in his heart for the handful of dogs he raised and trained throughout the course of his life. Len will be remembered as an incredibly strong, compassionate, wise and loving father, husband, and friend; and he will be so very missed by the many whose lives he touched. He is survived by his wife and his three children Jory Ruggiero of Bozeman, MT and Colin and Casey Ruggiero, who continue to live and work in Missoula.
Condolences and messages for the family can be sent to www.whitesittfuneralhome.com.
Memorial service details have yet to be determined.

If stock market returns truly represented the health of the entire economy, we'd all be sitting pretty right now. After posting triple-digit gains today, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) sits 20% higher than it did to begin the year. Not shabby for seven months' time!
Central banks in the U.S. and Europe are maintaining low interest rates to encourage growth, a strategy that has helped send blue chips up nearly 140% from 2009 lows. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate remains at 7.6% in a recovery that's been slow to generate jobs growth. That said, corporate America is doing just fine, and the Dow roared 128 points, or 0.8%, higher, ending at 15,628.
American Express (NYSE: AXP ) rallied 2.5%, tops in the Dow, as rival MasterCard hit an all-time high following a robust quarter of profits. This helps reaffirm a trend in consumer spending, which can be summed up in just two words: more plastic. American Express reported an 8% increase in transaction volume last quarter, while MasterCard and Visa both saw volumes rise by double digits.
Bank of America (NYSE: BAC ) tacked on 2.4% Thursday, helping to make the financial sector the second-biggest gainer in the market. The Charlotte-based bank, which has been working feverishly to settle legal battles in the past few years, asked a federal judge today not to classify one lawsuit against it as a class action case. If heeded, B of A's plea should be advantageous for the bank and its shareholders.
PC-maker Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ ) ended as a third big gainer, adding 2.1% Thursday. The stock has certainly done its part to boost the Dow's returns this year, posting 84% gains thus far. It remains to be seen how concentrating more efforts on its enterprise business, as the PC market slowly wanes, will play out, but for now, HP is still squeezing what it can out of its PC presence, and the back-to-school season will be closely watched by investors.
Lastly, Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM ) shed 1.1%, ending as one of just five blue chip decliners. The energy giant reported disappointing second-quarter earnings today, with profits falling 57% from a year earlier. A company-funded report also showed today that the cause of a pipeline breakage in March was the result of small cracks worsening over time -- something that can happen in structures built in the World War II era.
You may think that most of the gains this year have already been had, considering the market's spectacular performance recently. The Motley Fool's chief investment officer thinks otherwise, and has selected his No. 1 stock for 2013, with plenty of room to run.

Custom Alloy in High Bridge is again having a Community Day, with guided tours set for the fabricating complex on Saturday, Oct. 20.
Custom Alloy has been in town since 1982, but its facility opened in 1742 as the forge that eventually became Taylor-Wharton Iron and Steel Co.
Tours in 2011 brought nearly 80 people to the Washington Avenue site. Only High Bridge residents were allowed then; now the open house is for residents of neighboring towns, too.
Around 250 people work for the company at its facilities around the world, with about 200 at the headquarters, its only manufacturing facility. There's a machine shop in Michigan, and sales offices in various places including Houston, Pittsburgh, Chicago and Denver, as well as in the U.K., Belgium and Singapore.
Custom Alloy does not make steel, but rather its staff bends, heats and forges it to create a wide variety of products, mainly for the natural gas pipeline, power generation, oil and gas refining and extraction, and nuclear generation industries. It produces fittings and forgings used in nuclear applications around the world including nuclear propulsion systems in Navy submarines.
As its name implies the products are all "custom" made to the customer's specifications. It's not the kind of industry where you make a supply of items and hope they sell.
The Oct. 20 tours are open to adults as well as children 8 or older. Tours will last about 90 minutes and be offered at 9 and 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. To register, go to this website; after completing the form, click on "submit form" to confirm registration.

Tami's back and that's a good thing so big Yay! for that. Larry blogged about shit that he did this year so I thought I'd do one of those too except mine isn't going to be about books. :P
I did read a book this year, actually it was a re-reading of Valis by Philip K. Dick. That's me alright, a backlog of hundreds of books and I read one I've already read. Oh wait, I said I wasn't going to write about books. Stupid Mothman.
This year has been kind of odd for me. I ended eight and a half years of contracting at the beginning of May but thankfully found a full time job in Kitchener which is about an hour and a half from here as the car flys. I'm really happy to have the work but damn! Having to deal with "This is your pay" then "This is your pay after taxes, and EI and government pensions and parking and......" I'm surprised there is any money left whatsoever.
In the world of gaming I played Xenoblade which counts as one of the few games I actually finished. I'm glad it was so good, otherwise I'd be really pissed for having wasted a couple of hundred hours on it.
Life as a whole wise I wish to fuck I didn't have all the house sale, moving, selling all my shit and other assorted stresses hanging over me like the sword of Damocles, waiting to cut me in twain.
In closing and in summary this year has been both boring and stressful. I wish all of my 1UP friends the best in the new year and I hope the holiday season was a lot of fun.

The Regulators claimed the title of the Paul Whittle Memorial 2014 Men's Division III tournament at Carbonear Collegiate on March 9. Although based in St. John's, the team features more than a half dozen players with ties to the area. Members of the team are: front (l-r) — Matthew Whelan, Peter White and Jerry Crawford; back — Pete Whelan, Greg Parrott, Gerry Gulliver, Craig Martin, Steve Bowman, Francis Parrott and Andy Goff.

Organizers of the Paul Whittle Memorial 2014 Men's Division III provincial tournament in Carbonear March 7-9 are ecstatic with how everything went.
Featuring a record 16 teams from all over the province, the tournament brought together some of the best division 3 basketball talent to the community.
"I thought it went fantastic," said Shane Lambert, one of the organizers.
There were three local teams in the tournament — Tony's Tigers, CBN Red and Carbonear — along with a slew of local players with other teams.
"I would be lying if I said it was a breeze," Lambert said of organizing a tournament that size. "I was a little nervous Friday (March 7) evening when the tournament got started."
However once the games got going things took care of themselves. The games, for the most part, ran on time and the competition was fierce.
Those who came out to the games were treated to some great basketball action.
In the final, St. John's team the Regulators beat out the Sabrecats (St. John's) 58-37 to claim the title.
A half dozen of the Regulators have ties to the area. They are: Matthew Whelan, Peter White, Jerry Crawford, Greg Parrott, Andy Goff, Steve Bowman and Francis Parrott.
"There were some truly intense and close games this weekend," said Lambert. "I'd like to think it is a sign of how competitive this tournament can get."
The local boys
With three teams in the tournament, there was some strong local flavour for fans to check out.
CBN Red was the most successful of the three. In division A, Red post two wins and one loss.
In its first game, CBN were defeated by the Sabrecats 95-88. Despite the seven-point difference, the game was still up for grabs in the last five minutes.
Next, CBN put a hurting on Automotive Supplies from St. John's. Red won 98-51. This was followed by a 102-38 drubbing of Donnini's of Grand Falls-Windsor.
Carbonear was next with a record of one win and two losses. Their first game was against the Trepassey Heat.
The Heat defeated Carbonear 88-75. Next, the locals soundly defeated Bodyworks of Baie Verte by a 12-point margin, 82-70.
Carbonear would drop a hotly contested 63-53 contest to Inter City Hoops in its final game.
Tony's Tiger did not fare as well as the other two local entries. Tony's gave it everything they had, but fell to St. John's-based Pitter Patter Day Care by a score of 79-76 on March 7.
Next, Tony's was in tough against the Regulators. The eventual champs soundly won the contest 69-51. This was followed by a lopsided defeat to Coke of Grand Falls-Windsor.
The score in the third game was 72-52
Strong organization
Preparation for the tournament started months before the first jump ball.
Lambert, along with Shannon Hiscock, Lyndon Pike, Terry Slade, Danny Gosse, Dwayne Maloney, Tyler Coombs, Jordan Barry and a host of others all chipped in at some point to make things happen.
Many of these were playing in the tournament as well.
Students from Ascension Collegiate in Bay Roberts and Carbonear Collegiate helped out on the clock, along with players from the CBN men's league.
"We had a great group of guys helping with the fundraising and a lot of volunteers to aid with the overall running of the tournament," said Lambert.
Community support
A tournament this size cannot go off as it did without a strong community element.
Many businesses in the community chipped in with donations and sponsorships along the way.
Lambert said it helped with the necessary fundraising for the tournament.
"The community support was unbelievable," said Lambert. "I think the Town of Carbonear really embraced the visiting teams and perhaps that's part of the reason we received such a positive response from players."
In the end, the tournament was well-received by all involved.
"Many said it was one of the best-organized efforts they'd seen n a while and many expressed gratitude towards the host committee," said Lambert.

Key Witness To Testify In Burke Murder Trial Friday
Jurors are expected to hear testimony from a key witness in the double slaying trial against a former Ft. Campbell soldier Friday.
Brent Burke is accused of killing his estranged wife, Tracy Burke, and her former mother-in-law, Karen Comer, at Comer's Rineyville, Ky., home in Sept. 2007.
Burke's attorneys claimed the teen was in the neighborhood at the time of the shootings and bragged about committing the killings.
Wednesday, jurors heard from Brent Burke's son and stepson. The boys testified Brent Burke shot Tracy Burke and Comer.
Judge Janet Coleman said she will allow the children's testimony to stand.
The prosecution plans to call 31 more witnesses in this case.
The prosecution expects to wrap its case by Sept. 2.

1.4ghz 128mb X3 Crystal Xbox
Posted 02 April 2012 - 11:06 PM
The motherboard was purchased from trusty nearly a year ago and has had very little use.
It will be supplied in a Crystal case which is in excellent condition.
Its been chipped with my spare X3 Modchip. I bought another one as these chips as they are getting extremely rare. Its brand new and has been flashed with the latest BIOS.
Some details about the box:
1.6b Crystal Xbox case
v1.4 Motherboard with P3 1.4ghz CPU and 128mb RAM
NEW X3 modchip
300gb PATA Maxtor HDD
Phillips DVD drive
Enermax 80mm White LED Silent fan mod
Latest version of EvoX and XBMC4XBOX installed
The only problem with the xbox is it has no heatsink fitted to the cpu at the moment.
This is because I've been trying to find the best means of cooling.
I can supply an xbox 360 heatsink I was going to attempt to fit, I just haven't had the time to try and
this xbox is just gathering dust so its needs to go!
£170 Delivered (UK)
I might consider sending internationally
Posted 03 April 2012 - 02:16 AM
can it run at stock 700mhz via a switch/jumper? (im prety sure some of them could)
Edited by shambles1980, 03 April 2012 - 02:16 AM.
Posted 03 April 2012 - 03:34 PM
i was gonna get round this by either installing a second bios on the x3 chip
or use the speed patch on whichever game.
Posted 04 April 2012 - 03:25 PM
Posted 09 April 2012 - 06:04 PM
If anybody wants to buy the motherboard or X3 chip seperatly, please pm me with offers.

and its been collected and delivered to the buyer now..
no idea why the buyer and seller havent commented any futher, but i was in the middle of this lol and i assume that the trade is now over.
Although if im not mistaken the seller could possibly have a x3 chip some where as it did not come with the box that i was asked to work on. and the buyer had it sent directly here to save on postage
Posted 10 May 2012 - 02:46 AM
are you interested in just the board? PM me with an offer.
Are you still selling the v1.4 Motherboard with P3 1.4ghz CPU and 128mb RAM on its own?

Strawberry Fruit Roll Ups
Ever since I discovered how ridiculously easy it is to make your own fruit leathers/ fruit roll-ups, it's my favorite way to use up leftover fruit. Sometimes I overbuy fruit, just so I can make them.
My latest version was with strawberries. Even though the berries are a little bit on the tart side, I found that no additional sugar was necessary. The sugars really come out during the drying process and the fruit leathers ended up being quite sweet all on their own.
It's a little scary how easily I can gobble these up. It's almost like eating candy.
I can't wait until the weather gets warmer and more fruits come in season to work with.
Strawberry Fruit Leather
6 cups of chopped, hulled strawberries
sugar to taste if needed (i didn't add any to mine. the strawberry batter actually gets a little sweeter during the drying process)
1. Blend fruit and sugar (if using) in blender until smooth.
2. Set oven at lowest temperature setting (mine was at 170 F). Line two 13 x 18 baking sheet with Silpat mats.
3. Pour fruit mixture onto silpat mats and spread with the back of a large spoon until the fruit mixture makes a sheet about a 1/8 inch thick across the surface of the silpat.
4. Place baking sheets in the oven and bake for 6-8 hours, until fruit is dry. When you touch it, it should be still a little sticky, but it should be set and solid (not wet) like fruit leather.
5. Let fruit leather cool. Once it is finished cooling, gently peel off the fruit leather from the Silpat. It should come off the mat easily. Cut small pieces of parchment paper (to desired length and width of fruit leather strips you want), then cut fruit leather to slightly under the size of the parchment paper. Place onto parchment paper and roll together. Tie with a string to hold the roll. Repeat with rest of fruit leather. Store in airtight container in a cool space.

I might have to try this!
Strawberries are a buck a pound and this looks delicious.
Have you tried other fruit and flavour combinations?
Have you tried drying/baking the fruit directly onto parchment paper and cutting strips from that? I wonder if the parchment would get all sticky and wrinkly though. Hmm, I should try that out myself.
i didnt know it is this easy to make fruit rollups, WOW
Will this have the house smelling like fruit.
Only thing is having the oven all for 8hrs… that is alot.
could i make a small bacth in a toaster over ?
Fantastic idea, I can't wait to try it out this weekend!
What an easy little snack!
Putting these in the oven now and setting my oven timer for 6 hours. I can't wait to sample them and see how they turn out! I added only a tsp of honey to mine, thanks to your caution about the strawberry leathers sweetening as they dry. I've been eager to make leathers and with the 3 cups of organic strawberries I got in my CSA this week. I decided to give it a try!
I have seen a lot of recipes that says cook the fruit. Is cooking it not required prior.to.baking it.for this one.
Thank you

Ryan Seacrest correctly referred to Wednesday night's American Idol as "a colorful show" – Casey Abrams kissed Jennifer Lopez, Steven swore like a sailor, and Ryan at one point sported a red beard.
The results hour, on the other hand, felt more like the logical culmination of the past month. Stefano Langone, after all those visits to the Circle of Doom, finally saw his Idol journey end.
"I've been on this road before," he told Ryan just before the vote was announced. But he said he'd done his best. And he never stopped smiling – unlike James Durbin, who was shown with his face down in his hands, and later crying. Then Stefano sang "Lately," at the conclusion of which James came out and lifted him up in a hug.
Stefano had actually given his best performance Wednesday with Ne-Yo's "Closer." Producer Jimmy Iovine urged him to refine his stage presence and stop "pleading" with the audience – and he did, at last. Within a certain range his voice had the confidence of a crooner, but he couldn't just up and reinvent himself.
Jacob Lusk was with him in the bottom two. He had suffered a momentary technical glitch at the start of his performance of "Dance with My Father." But Randy and Jennifer both faulted his singing, glitch or no glitch. The suggestion was that perhaps he had emoted more than he had sung.
Haley Reinhart landed in the bottom three for roughly a minute before Ryan sent her to safety: And this was balm for the soul, wasn't it, America? Because she'd done so well this week. On her version of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," she reduced her tiresome sassiness and emphasized the versatility of her voice.
However, she and Jacob will probably both wind up at the Altar of Idol in the next few weeks. They are both caught in that awful zone between singing too much and singing too little. James, on the other hand, is consistently over the top, but there's something intrinsically coherent in his excessiveness.
At the start of the hour, Lauren Alaina, Haley, Stefano and Jacob sang "Hey, Soul Sister" as if they were being paid to perform at an outdoor barbecue. James, Casey Abrams and Scotty McCreery (with hardly a trace of his twang) followed with a raggedy version of Coldplay's "Viva la Vida." Maybe no one was given enough rehearsal time.
Season 7 winner David Cook performed "The Last Goodbye," the single off his new solo album. It sounded kind of old. But his mom, who was in the audience, got to meet Steven, and that was sweet. Katy Perry sang "ET" in a queen-of-outer-space getup surrounded by "alien" dancers. Kanye West contributed his guest vocal wearing an impressive leather coat with fur trim – very Game of Thrones.

Mango Chunda was something I got to taste during the Gurathi Food festival we had at office. One of my colleagues, was a gujju and he said this is their prized dish. We had Masala puri as one of the items and this is what they decided on. When we asked him to share some of their stored stuff, he got some very reluctantly, thinking we might waste. He needn't have worried, the bowl was clean licked off! I was most taken in by it and always wanted to try at home.
When I choose Bottled as the theme for this month's Microwave Easy cooking, I was hoping that I will get around making some of those book marked preserves. I had a Mango chunda recipe on hand. But it was with stove top reference. I knew it should take more than 5 mins to get it done. But I was still hesitating to handle it. Last week was the busiest one in terms of cooking something new and clicking it for the blog. But my obsession for this would never cease!
When I happened to chat with Divya, she said she has a Mango chunda made in mw. I said I have been thinking of making just that, only I was thinking of the timing. so she mailed back the recipe with the MW process. Yeah, the recipe was the same but the timings, my god the one on stove top says it takes about 40 - 50 mins, working on the sugar and mango.
Infact Divya's recipe calls it to be soaking in for 5 mins, I skipped and just mixed sugar with Mango and kept it inside. It was just too simple to make in Microwave! Imagine by the traditional way, the whole family is involved in mixing the sugar and heating over the pan on a stove top! After making it and enjoying it with Roti, I felt I was really glad that I did this in microwave as this I feel is the real benefit of cooking in Microwave.
Ingredients Needed
Raw Mango, grated - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 & 1/2 cup
Turmeric a pinch
Chili powder - 1/2 tsp
Roasted Cumin seeds, crushed - 1/2 tsp (I used powder)
Method to prepare:
Grate Mango and mix turmeric to it. Then mix the sugar to the Mangoes and in a MW safe glass, keep it for 2 mins.
Open and stir well. Then keep for 3 mins.
The sugar is all well melted and mixed, The consistency should be of one thread, when you test it.
Then mix the chili powder and jeera powder. Mix well and let it rest for 5 mins.
Enjoy with rotis or as such. This is my entry for my Microwave Easy Cooking, this month themed on dishes that can be bottled!
This I heard stays good for a year. But I am sure if I make this, it won't be around for so long!
We had been to Tiruchendur on a day trip and came back this morning. I got many mails from friends and readers saying they heard there was a slight tremor in Madras. Since we were not at home, I asked Athamma about it. She said she didn't feel anything. So it must've been very slight, thank God for that! Thank you all for your concerns. I am feel very honored to have your friendship!
Will be back with pictures we took in Tiruchendur. Have a great Sunday!

It's now been claimed the 35-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is expecting a new arrival."She is only a few months along," an insider told Us Weekly.Other sources have also confirmed the news to the publication, with much being made of a recent double date Kourtney and her beau enjoyed with her sister Khloé and her rumoured love interest French Montana. Although the group had a fun night out, Kourtney steered clear of wine and instead went for ginger ale.Kourtney and Scott recently attended her sister Kim's marriage to Kanye West in Europe, after which they jetted back to New York City. They stayed at the Trump SoHo hotel, where another guest was in no doubt about the star's condition."Kourtney looked really pretty. She had a nice flush on her cheeks," the insider said.There have been rumours that Scott and Kourtney are planning a wedding of their own, having been together for around seven years. It's unknown whether they are working on tying the knot, but they are said to have discussed the new arrival."It was planned," an insider said. "[Kourtney] wants to have a handful of kids."Another source added: "They don't know the gender yet. They just want the baby to be healthy."It's thought the little one will be welcomed into the world in December.Cover Showbiz You May Also Like Adam Levine may of just posted the CUTEST pregnancy pic ever!

Police are investigating the homicide of a 57-year-old woman in Southwest Oklahoma City.
Shelia Ann Stanley's friends told police they checked on her at her home in the 10,000 block of Oxlow Court on Saturday. They said her car was in the driveway and the glass storm door to the front of the house was shut, but the wooden front door was open.
When they shouted for her inside she didn't respond and they became worried and called police. A police spokesperson said Stanley had trauma to her body consistent with a homicide.
The State Medical Examiner will ultimately determine the cause of death. In the meantime police are asking anyone with information to call the Homicide Tip Line at 405 297-1200. Callers may be eligible for a cash reward.

Should we be surprised when your typical personal-injury lawyer fails to achieve a much-heralded ethical epiphany in response to a single dose of "church" on a Sunday morning? Although this credibility-defying analogy may seem far fetched, the critical care community has now been deluged with a thought-suppressing smorgasbord of prospective, randomized clinical trials in which a single dose (or 2) of cytokine antibody (or binding protein) is injected into an unfortunate postinjury patient in the throes of systemic inflammation. And Lazarus dies anyway. Is this akin to confronting the raging Chicago fire by seeking out and shooting Mrs O'Leary's cow? Or air-dropping a single flame jumper into the midst of a Yellowstone National Park fire? Do all these studies really mean that our natural host defenses cannot be manipulated therapeutically?

The 200 or more northern pintails at the tip of Leo's Landing at Presque Isle State Park on Wednesday was an exceptionally high spring concentration for Presque Isle. All three scoter species continue to be seen in Presque Isle Bay. A very rare hoary redpoll was identified among a flock of 26 common redpolls at the east end of Pine Tree Trail at Presque Isle on March 2. As spring approaches, watch for early blooming wildflowers. A patch of blue Veronicas was in blossom on Wednesday in Erie.

Buck Weaver showed you didn't have to work in a newsroom to enjoy a good story or the value of the day's newspaper.
Former Citizen Patriot editor Eileen Lehnert remembered Weaver — this newspaper's former publisher, who died Saturday at age 78 — as someone who would become excited when hearing about the work being done by the newspaper's reporters.
"He understood what journalism is all about," she said.
There aren't many finer compliments in this profession, but Weaver deserved that praise.
Franklin T. Weaver spent more than four decades in newspapers, almost all of that time with Michigan's Booth Newspapers, which includes the Citizen Patriot. He served from 1984 to 1999 as this newspaper's publisher.
Weaver did what any publisher should do well: He ran a good business. Through recessions and business recoveries, he guided the newspaper and made decisions, such as buying a top-rate printing press, that ensured its profitability.
More important, Weaver will be remembered for his personal qualities: his goodwill toward co-workers, his colorful episodes and his interest in seeing Jackson County thrive. He served in various civic roles and promoted this community frequently.
His legacy lives on in the newspaper that you are reading today and the lives that he touched.
Rest in peace, Buck.

SALEM - Twice the strength, twice the speed, twice the detail - that's what Salem Community Hospital's new 3T MRI offers patients over other magnetic resonance imaging scanners in the area, Dr. Peter Apicella said.
The recently installed machine is the only one of its kind available in the area stretching from Pittsburgh to Cleveland, using the latest technology for brain, spine, body, extremity and breast imaging.
"Our images are sharper with a lot more detail to diagnose diseases sooner," Apicella said.

Apicella is chairman of the Department of Medical Imaging at the hospital and explained the new 3T Open MRI was designed with the patient in mind, with an opening large enough to hold a 550-pound person and accommodate a waist size of 86 inches.
The large size and the quickness of the image-taking can be good for people who are claustrophobic and don't like confined spaces. In most cases, the head is outside of the opening. Some images can take as little as 12 seconds.
"Everything's designed to relax you," he said, noting there are mood colors depending on the type of scan, music and a large window to the outside world.
Fact Box
Benefits of 3T OPEN MRI:
- Twice the strength of other area 1.5T MRI scanners
- Twice the speed for fastest MR imaging
- Twice the detail for stunning image quality
- Latest technology for newest imaging techniques throughout the body
- Largest 3T Open MRI with 86-inch opening for claustrophobics and patients up to 550 lbs
- Only area MRI with advanced metal imaging for patients with implants

According to Apicella, they can secure the best quality pictures in half the time of other scanners and can diagnose problems quicker because the problem can be readily seen due to the higher magnetic strength and detailed image.
For brains, they can catch patients at risk for stroke before they have one if they've been having early symptoms. They provide the best imaging for headaches, multiple sclerosis, dementia and memory problems and brain tumors. In the spine, they can see the entire spine in one image and see around metallic implants or see problems in post-surgical patients.
They can see more detail to diagnose problems in the joints, like the knees, shoulders, wrists and ankles. They can see blood flow to help patients with circulation problems and see sharper images of organs in the body in the abdominal area and have better imaging for breast cancer.
Apicella noted that before, they could not see around the metal implants inside a person and now they can. In fact, the images are so detailed that doctors can see the threads of a screw. He said they can actually see a tear in a knee and can detect a bruise in the knee bone.
"Ultimately that's all we're trying to do here is make a difference," he said.
Patients must be referred by their physician for testing. Apicella estimated the cost at $1,000 to $2,000 depending on the test, which can be covered by some insurance. He said they've kept their costs the same for the new 3T Open MRI, but said they've been facing a challenge from insurance companies who are contacting patients about cheaper alternatives at other area facilities.
Cheaper isn't better, he said, and in this case, the images at SCH will be higher quality.
"If people want to be certain their physician is getting the most accurate imaging, they need to make sure they're referred to SCH," he said.
SCH Public Relations Director Michele Hoffmeister said "patients need to be their own advocates. They need to make sure they're getting the best testing in their area."
The hospital also offers one of the best CT scanners around, giving area residents the most detailed imaging available close to home. A CT is different because it uses low-dose radiation at half the cost and offers the best images of inside the heart and lungs. An MRI uses a magnet.

January 16, 2013|Categories: All Things EMR, Interoperability, Meaningful Use
As reported by Anthony Brino, researchers Arthur Kellerman, MD, and Spencer Jones at RAND Corporation recently blamed the maddeningly slow progress of electronic health record (EHR) interoperability, in part, on "misaligned incentives."
That bit of breaking news could not have been less surprising to my colleagues at athenahealth, where we have long lamented the unintended consequences of well-intentioned (and in many ways successful) federal incentives for "meaningful use" of electronic health record technology.
Kellerman and Jones write that much EHR software currently "functions less as 'ATM cards'... than as 'frequent flier cards' intended to enforce brand loyalty to a particular health care system." This statement perfectly describes the frustration that cutting-edge innovators in EHR feel as we see the real-world implications of many of our competitors designing their products to preclude, rather than empower, interoperation.
Note the term "interoperation," describing an activity, in place of the more common "interoperability," a passive noun. A major shortcoming of both current and pending "meaningful use" standards is that they encourage (and eventually require) the latter instead of the former. Unless actual interoperation across vendors' systems is mandated, we will continue to see products and services that interoperate wonderfully within proprietary silos, but not at all outside of them.
Often, this is by design. Kellerman and Jones note speculation that "major IT vendors are opposed to [real] interoperability." That is not speculation – it is observable, even quietly acknowledged, reality. In 2013, there is still a lot of money to be made selling static software and annual renewal licenses. While the rest of the economy moves steadily to the cloud, we in healthcare still live in the 'CD in the mail' world that once powered Compuserve.
In what other sector is static software, delivered on a disk with a purchased license, still the norm? When we lean over the admin desk at the doctor's office and see an interface that belongs in a museum, why do we just accept that as "the way it is" in health care? Why do we operate in the cloud in so many areas of our consumer life – using it to manage our finances, book travel, send photos, music, and video to our friends with barely a thought – yet all but ignore its existence when it comes to health IT (HIT)?
Kellerman and Jones have a thought: "What should be a robust market for reducing administrative costs… has been skewed a bit by poor planning in the rush to meet federal Meaningful Use deadlines, resulting in the need for repeated investment in software tweaks and workflow burdens for some doctors and nurses."
In other words, in the rush to get an Meaningful Use-certified EHR up and running in time to qualify for a federal pay-out, many medical providers didn't shop around. They went with familiar brand names. As a result, too many spent millions on legacy software systems that, without an infusion of federal life support, would have been extinct long ago. Those technologies, obsolete almost on the day of installation, are demanding replacement long before their amortizations run, creating a balance sheet burden along with a huge administrative headache.
So how can we correct the problem and finally see HIT start realizing its potential to revolutionize health care delivery and contain costs?
First, let's stop accepting the notion that it is okay for health information technology to trail the rest of the economy. Stop accepting the claim, most often voiced by sellers of obsolete technology, that the routine, seamless sharing of data that occurs in every other sector of the economy cannot possibly be achieved in health care. These things are not true.
Second, let's adjust Meaningful Use incentives to be sure they incentivize desired behaviors. Federal money that enables the purchase of technology that must be replaced in a year or three is wasted federal money. Sure, nobody intended to subsidize technological dinosaurs with federal dollars, just as nobody intended Meaningful Use dollars to fund proprietary information silos, locking doctors and information into closed systems and driving up costs. But that is what's happening. We need to focus the subsidies by tightening the definition of "meaningful use," requiring actual interoperation between vendor systems.
Finally, government needs to make the changes necessary in law to enable a true market for health information exchange. Policymakers dance constantly around explicit acknowledgement that, in order for a major sea change in any learned behavior to occur, there needs to be a financial incentive for that behavior to change. What are federal incentive payments, after all, if not acknowledgement of that truth? But temporary, targeted incentives can only motivate so much change. And government, for all its largess, cannot (and should not) subsidize behaviors in perpetuity.
To empower health information exchange, we need a functioning market for health information -- the ability for a custodian/curator of data to charge a fair market fee to deliver to a recipient exactly the information the recipient requests, in the form requested. Markets for such information exist all over our economy – finance, insurance, auto parts -- but not in health care.
Like the industry's technology, our conception of market dynamics in health care remains hopelessly behind the times.Under laws intended to prevent self-dealing in referrals, a fee paid for quality information could be deemed a "kickback." As a result, virtually nobody curates the vast stores of electronic health data that we are steadily amassing, and nobody leverages the power of that data to, yes, reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve care. That needs to change.
A functioning, two-sided market for health information exchange would not only spark a revolution in such exchange, it would also fund itself with nary a taxpayer dollar required.
In the meantime, it is great to see 2013 kicking off with some much-needed attention to the flip side of the considerable progress in EHR adoption achieved by the Meaningful Use program. Onward and upward in the New Year. The cloud is up, incidentally…

Cablevision subscribers who have been missing the Food Network and HGTV should check their lineups.
According to the Associated Press, a settlement was reached today between the cable company and Scripps Networks Interactive Inc. allowing for the return of the popular channels to Cablevision's customers.
On its Web site, Cablevision says the channels have already been restored and can be viewed at the same channel positions as before.
"We're pleased to have reached this agreement and appreciate your patience and understanding as we worked with Scripps to reach an agreement that is fair,'' the company said.
AP notes that the terms of the agreement weren't disclosed.
On New Year's Day, Cablevision dropped the channels for its 3.1 million subscribers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in a fee dispute with Scripps.
Tonight's news was good for both companies, the AP said.
Shares of Scripps Networks rose 38 cents to $44.81 in after-hours trading.
Shares of Cablevision climbed 9 cents to $26.58 after hours.

Branding separates competitors and makes consumers remember a product.
Branding is used in businesses and organizations of all sizes and types. Branding is intended to identify goods or services and deliver the message that a particular organization, business, or product is the only one that can suit customers' needs.
What is Branding?
Branding is the process of using a word or an image to identify a company or its products. It is what separates competitors and helps consumers remember a product. The purpose of a brand is to increase sales by making the product or service the most visible and desired by the consumer. Branding is becoming more than a logo or a product. It is becoming a promise of quality and reputation! It encompasses everything about a company, sometimes good and sometimes bad, depending on the public's perception.
Why is Branding Important?
In today's fast-paced world, it is more important than ever to promote recognition of a product or service. If you're remembered as a quality provider, then you will be encouraging repeat business. Branding is a great way to promote this recognition because people are busy and tend to adhere to familiarity. If consumers recognize a brand that they have previously used and they remember being satisfied with it, then they are more likely to choose that product or service again. This is especially true in the tremendous hodgepodge of advertising going on today.
Branding Strategy
Brand identity is a vital part of a business, and it should be incorporated into many key aspects and areas.
· Company name, logo, or slogan
· Company letterhead
· Company forms
· Marketing materials and advertising
· Signage
· Web sites
· Uniforms
· Promotional items such as pens and pencils, key chains, ball caps, tote bags
Branding Approaches
- Individual product branding - Each new product is assigned a new name with no connection to other brands owned by a company.
- Family branding - New products are placed under an existing brand.
- Co-branding - The marketer partners with another firm that has an existing, established brand in hopes that the theory "two brands are better than one" will stimulate interest.
- Private or store branding - When suppliers produce products for other companies, and place that company's brand on the product.
- No Name Branding - Also referred to as generic branding, this is a "brandless" product that is sold as a low-cost alternative to a brand name product.
Business and Branding
Branding your business with promotional items is a great way to advertise. The placement of a business name or logo on promotional products is sure to bring in new business, and they can also be used to reward existing customers and employees for their loyalty. Leaving pens and pencils in high traffic areas such as banks, doctors' offices, libraries, and colleges will bring recognition to a company and its

Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section
The Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS) is a section of the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice in charge of enforcing federal criminal statutes relating to the exploitation of children and obscenity. Created in 1987, the section comprises approximately 15 attorneys who prosecute defendants who have violated federal child exploitation and obscenity laws and also assist the 93 United States Attorney Offices in investigations, trials, and appeals related to these offenses.
CEOS also has a number of Computer Forensic Specialist (CFS) within the High Technology Investigative Unit (HTIU) and, under the direction of a CEOS manager, they conduct online investigations and analysis of Internet technologies used to distribute obscene materials and child pornography.
Under the George W. Bush Administration, this section was more active in pursuing adult obscenity than it is now, and engaged in a number of unsuccessful prosecutions.[citation needed] It was successful in obtaining a conviction of director Max Hardcore in 2007 and Ira Isaacs in 2012.

G you are stepping on the wrong side of 30 Baby :) and i could not have been more wicked happy about it.
We started off with your 29th Birthday and today after 7 years i am out of ideas. I am out of gifts, out of streamers, balloons, mush cards and all the shenanigans. But one thing my man, i would never run run out of, is..words.
You remain the constant fear in my life, the fear of having tea spilled over the new bedsheets, the fear of forever changing dates of holidays, the fear of hearing from you "lets just sleep today " on a Sunday afternoon, the fear of you not listening to why Jabong is my favorite place to buy online and the greatest fear of all is to hear you say "i dont want to drive that far for your matching earings "
Life is about such simple joys with you, like hearing you ring the bell when you come back from office, i think i greet you more excited than a 3 week old pup would be. Like sitting at that small road side cafe where i thulp on my cold coffee and maggi while you and Keya are too busy fighting eachother as she wants to sip my coffee. Life is about the small joys of watching you pick up my favorite loaf of cake at the shop, without being told, about letting me watch late night sappy movies while you agree to put Keya to bed.Innumerable trips to the streetside shopping paradise, just so i can get the perfect pair of earings, silent painful moments spent waiting outside the taylors shop,unimaginable pain of seeing yet another new pair of sandals or a new suit. But boy, you think i miss the look of admiration when you see me step out wearing something new..you know, i can see that secret admiration, that quiet 2 second approval that you give me, munching on your bread toasts sitting across the dining table. So, everytime i shop, i know who is the happier and prouder soul :)
Having said this my dear heart throb, let me assure you, till the day my heart throbs, its going to always go gogogagga over you because no one can deal with this crazy heart of mine, as well as you do. We as 30 year olds, talking about hearts and hearth throbs after 7 years of marriage is good sign , eh ? who would know that the shy bespectacled boy in his blue corduroys would manage to keep this crabby nomad hinged , for a lifetime.
You have been the strongest rock to lean on and sometime bang my head on, i have rubbed you the wrong way, i have given you mood swings leaving you clueless, i have been bad..but who knew someday i would regret all that. You have taken me at my best worst and when i am myself unsure of , for all that and more, much more, thank you Baby.
Stay this way please ! i love that fussy hand wiping out the dinner plates, i love that unkept hair out of bed, i love those fumbling hands spilling tea, i love those eyes that poke me when it sees something new, i love the short msgs and text in the middle of the day..but most of all, i love my daughters father.
Happy Birthday to the worlds Greatest Father, stay this way, imperfectly the best !
PS:" Perfect Woman " is a word wrongly included , as a marketing gimmick in that matrimony site 7 years back ! there are no perfect women
