Had I written this column in 2000, I may have used a pen and paper or perhaps the Notepad tool on my 8-pound laptop. I then may have printed it out at Kinko's and mailed it to the editors with a 33-cent stamp.
With one week left in this decade, I formulated my thoughts for this piece through a voice recognition program on my smartphone which then transcribed them to a Word document. The program spellchecked it and a touch of a button immediately sent it across the Internet.
Oh how these past ten years have come and gone…
I launched "The High-Tech Texan®" brand back in 2000 and remember explaining to TV viewers how Wi-Fi may one day be ubiquitous and cell phones could possibly be smaller and lighter in our lifetime. Call me Kreskin.
Could we have imagined that phones would be "smart" back then? Every phone on the market today is so sophisticated I now refer to those old bricks as dumb phones. Apple's iPhone was the game changer in 2007 and no one is looking back. Can you imagine a phone today that doesn't have a camera, music player, web browser, map and a makeup remover? Yep, there will be an app for that one day.
Speaking of music…gather 'round the campfire, kids, while I tell you a story of how I used to buy vinyl records and cassette tapes at Cactus Music. Forget about it – that would take too long. Downloading music from the Internet started out as an illegal way to listen to your fave tunes early in the decade. Apple, once again, figured out a simple way for people to immediately put songs on your computer while satisfying record labels and artists.
If only they could figure out how to reach a deal with the Beatles. (If John and George were still alive I would bet Steve Jobs could get the Fab Four back together)
Technology grew leaps and bounds these past ten years. Probably no more so than the way we now watch TV. A big screen monitor in the early 00's meant having a TV set the size of a Prius and almost costing as much. Japan figured out how to make screens look like art and – true to form – hang them on the wall as such. It is almost impossible to find a TV monitor nowadays that is not flat.
But the big jump happened just earlier this year. The FCC finally put its foot down and mandated all TV stations to switch from their great grandfather-like analog signals to bright, crisp digital pixels. High-definition TV is now standard while standard TV is a dinosaur. Most everyone has been ecstatic at this upgrade; save for Barbara Walters and other aging personalities that show the real person with real wrinkles. All around winners here: TV make-up artists.
Had someone used the word "blog" back in 2000 my best guess would have been the description of his previous night's drinking binge (or technically the purge). Blogs, as we now know, are public diaries that every man, woman, child, pet goldfish and alien use to tell the universe what they had for breakfast, how government sucks and who to bat cleanup for the Astros.
My 9 year-old son has a blog. I'm serious. He can hardly type but he must keep everyone updated with his high score on Madden '09.
Technically blogs are so yesterday (but don't tell my son). As the '10s approach, social networking sites are now the way to post your thoughts, views, who you are dating and the latest Tiger Woods rumors. The big trend early this decade was MySpace. By the end of the decade MySpace is now the pencil pocket protector of social networking sites.
Facebook and Twitter are kings now. If you can't say it in 140 words or less then it must not be worth saying, right? So many people use these services today that if Facebook was its own country it would be the fourth most populous entity in the world. Now if they would only stop changing its privacy policy I would stop thinking about defecting.
Back in the 1980's, I remember when video killed the radio star. Twenty years later YouTube killed videos – or at least the way we watched them. Rock stars were now not the only people who could become stars by watching them sing. Made-up songs like "Chocolate Rain" made worldwide sensations out of everyday people. Finally, it was America's Funniest Home Videos gone mad.
And like the dot-com boom in the very early 00's, YouTube proved to be a hit to the tune of $1.65 billion in stock when Google bought it in 2006. Guess who is singing now?
Though these past ten years may seem to have flown by fast, the world of technology has grown faster. Yes, there have been many duds like the Segway, Palm, Microsoft Vista, HD-DVD and the Zune. But developments like hybrid engines outshine a two-wheeled, gyroscopic scooter. And hybrid cars now go pretty fast, too.
It is almost impossible to purchase a plane ticket or book a hotel room without advances this decade in e-commerce. Not to mention books on Amazon and everything else, including body lint, on eBay.
The 2000's may be remembered for not having a nickname but I will remember these ten years as a time that most all generations took a giant leap forward into the future. Just don't forget the batteries.

Oops, something didn't work.
that is awesome
Why did anyone think glasses needed to be so big?
Cool, my first PDC was 2000 in Florida - few photos on my blog http://rd3d2.wordpress.com
My first PDC was 2001 (not listed yet...)
That was a weird one, just a month after 9/11...
very cool !
watching Jim Allchin annoucing WinFX (and the emacs demo) now

PDC 2001, is now online here.
This is awesome! Is the site having problems though? PDC 1992 is no longer listed and 1993 has no session content. I was looking forward to seeing the Chicago (Windows 95) kick off!
In those days (<2000) Microsoft had a TV show you could pick up on the satellite here in the UK. I remember Steve Balmer talking about Web Services a couple of months(?) before the PDC and it seemed to good to be true, so I decided to take some time off and attend - awesome.

Thieves broke into more than a dozen vehicles in Leawood, Kan., overnight.
Police said most of the vehicles, which were located in an area between Mission Road and Lee Boulevard along 85th Street, were left unlocked, allowing easy entry for the thieves.
One of the vehicles, which had a spare key inside, was stolen. It was later recovered in Kansas City, Mo.
Police are asking residents to make sure they lock their unoccupied vehicles and to remove any valuables.

The ultimate disappearing act?
Producers of an eagerly anticipated 2014 Broadway musical about escape artist supreme Harry Houdini confirmed Monday that the show has lost its star, the inestimable Hugh Jackman.
"I have greatly enjoyed the collaborative process on Houdini," Jackman said in a statement. "Ultimately, though, I wasn't able to commit to the time this role will require."
Added PEOPLE's 2008 Sexist Man Alive, whose name on a Times Square marquee (even when he isn't playing Wolverine) all but guarantees a sell-out, "I have tremendous respect and admiration for the creative team and I wish everyone the best. I know they're well on their way to making something extraordinary."
The Tony winner, 45, was first announced to headline the project in January 2012. At the time, the book writer was to be Oscar and Emmy winner Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing, The Newsroom), with Pippin and Wicked composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz doing the score.
Since then, Sorkin has withdrawn from the project, citing a scheduling conflict, with Venus in Fur playwright David Ives taking over the book. Hairspray and The Full Monty director Jack O'Brien is also attached.
Even with the loss of the 6'2" Australian star – Houdini (born Erik Weisz in Budapest) was 5'6" – the show will go on, says lead producer Scott Sanders.
"Hugh has been terrific to have on this part of the journey," Sanders said in a statement. "We will continue to move forward with our remarkable creative team, as they craft this ambitious new musical."

Attorney instructs
at conference
Williamsport attorney Julieanne E. Steinbacher, founding partner of the elder law firm of Steinbacher and Stahl, presented continuing education at the 2012 state Bar Institute conference in Mechanicsburg in early October.
The course, "Veterans Pension and Aid & Attendance Benefits Update and Advanced Planning Strategies," provided an opportunity for attorneys to increase their understanding of VA benefits, the language that is important to include in correctly drafted irrevocable trusts, and advanced planning strategies related to VA benefits and Medicaid planning, according to a news release.
Attorney Steinbacher is on faculty with PBI. She has extensive lecturing and writing experience, and she and her law partner Adrianne J. Stahl, have authored several books, including Pennsylvania Trust Guide, edition I and II and the Pennsylvania Special Needs Planning Guide, the release said. Most recently, Steinbacher and her law partner Stahl were joined by nine other leading elder law attorneys from across the nation to co-author "Protect Your Family! Don't Write a Blank Check to the Nur$ing Home."
The law firm is at 413 Washington Blvd.
Director joins
design firm
Larson Design Group, Williamsport, recently announced the hiring of Timothy Kinder, who will serve as regional director of surveying. Kinder joins the firm to open a new office in Morgantown, the first West Virginia office for the 260-person engineering, architecture, and surveying company.
"Morgantown is a vibrant university town, located in one of the fastest growing counties in West Virginia," says Keith Kuzio, PE, LDG President and CEO. "Our new office will let us leverage our professional experience in energy, municipal, civil, and transportation engineering."
Kinder, a professional land surveyor brings exceptional business development, leadership, and management skills to the firm, a news release said. He has 15 years of professional experience and formerly was regional service group manager with Herbert, Rowland & Grubic. Prior to this he was director of surveying with the John P. Caito Corp. and managed his own surveying company. Kinder holds professional registration in West Virginia, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Kinder will be responsible for obtaining and negotiating contracts for new Marcellus Shale clients, developing and executing business development marketing strategies, project management, coordinating and reviewing plans, well pad design plans, construction plans, road encroachment permits, and well permits applications.
"My position with Larson Design Group is particularly attractive because the firm is focused on strategic growth in markets where they can extend innovative services to existing and new clients," said Kinder. "This focus makes the greater Morgantown area an excellent location for LDG to establish a long-term sustainable office presence. I am excited about advancing the firm in this region."
Larson Design Group is a growing engineering, brand architecture, and surveying firm, providing innovative design solutions for the private and public sectors. Headquartered in Williamsport, additional Pennsylvania offices include Selinsgrove, Bloomsburg, Lititz, Bethel and Brockway.

Siamese Secrets Restaurant in Miri
It was a free evening, we came out with the idea of going over to Siamese Secrets Miri for dinner & hangout.
Siamese Secrets Miri used to be known as a secret place as it is located behind Pacific Orient Hotel Miri. Another reason is probably due to its cool dark environment with only dim light. The restaurant opens in the evening until early in the morning. It has quite an extensive menu which covers not only Thai food like hot sour and spicy tom yam soup but with Western food such as pizzas, pastas, chicken platters, nachos. For us, not really like tom yam, so didn't order it.
Carbonara Pizza- Pizza topped with fresh mushroom, bacon, chicken hams, sliced boiled egg, spring onion and cheese.
You can get Eastern food over there. Besides serving juices, they serve beers too.
Their food prices are slightly high, but comes with free wifi internet service. Sometimes can get crowded.
Located at 513 Jalan Merbau, Ground Floor, 98000 Miri, Sarawak. Tel: 085-431168

Despite making a statement with a convincing 102-88 win over the New York Knicks on Sunday, the Los Angeles Clippers still feel like a team that's one move away from being a true championship contender.
What's comforting is that even if the Clippers decide to deal their most talented prospect—point guard Eric Bledsoe—Vinny Del Negro will still have plenty of capable bodies in the backcourt.
However, the same cannot be said about the team's frontcourt, which is sorely lacking for offensive production at the center position.
Blake Griffin's expanded repertoire of offensive moves bodes well for the future, but if the Clippers want to compete for an NBA title right now they're going to need to make a move for a proven, veteran center.

Kevin Pelton for ESPN Insider on NOLA trading CP3 for Westbrook : "In front of a TV audience that had seen relatively little of Oklahoma City throughout the season, Westbrook was the scapegoat for the Thunder's inability to construct an effective late-game offense. Westbrook deserved some of the blame; he lacks the kind of court vision to find teammates when they slip open for a split second, which is part of what makes Paul so special. Westbrook also has a tendency to overdribble when the play breaks down, trusting his own ability more than that of his teammates. Still, Westbrook can only run the plays called from the sideline, and Oklahoma City's half-court playbook is limited. When defenses took Kevin Durant away with physical defense, Westbrook creating on the fly was often the only alternative. Additionally, the Thunder were victims of their own success. Oklahoma City's problems were only revealed because the Thunder made an impressive run to the Western Conference finals — further in the postseason than Paul, for one, has ever advanced."
Rob Mahoney of PBT with thoughts on it: "There's nothing wrong with wanting Westbrook to be the best player he can possibly be, but turning each of his faults into a crusade against his game is foolish. He does, as Pelton notes, lack the court vision of players like Paul. He's not an elite playmaker, even though his physical gifts enable him to create dribble penetration in ways few other players can. His decision making, too, isn't perfect, and neither is his jumper. Yet all of these are detractions from the whole of Westbrook's game rather than the other way around; he's a player who pushed his team to the Conference Finals, not one who cost them a trip to take a step further. He did what he could under the circumstances, and though Westbrook's playoff showing wasn't without its own faults, it's unfair that only he — and not Durant, or Scott Brooks, or any other member of the Thunder — should be defined by them."
The trade Westbrook stuff isn't new. Here are some of my thoughts on it from a couple months ago. More coming today, maybe.
Matt Moore of CBSSports.com continuing on with the top 100 players where Ibaka checks in 63rd: "Oh, Iblocka. One of the most divisive players in the league. Everyone loves his energy. Some people trust his jumper. Some people think he's impetuous and gets caught with his head spinning. Ibaka is going to improve and will be a force to reckon with. But for all his defensive stewardship, the Memphis series exposed that a crafty offensive post player can put him into a tizzy, while his offensive reportoire still needs work. Ibaka had one of the lowest variances in scores in the back half of our list. We all know he's pretty good, we just know he's not top fifty. Not yet."
KD changed his Twitter picture to show off his tats. He ain't hiding anything people.
Terrific find by Zach Harper of DDL — Thunder assistant Mark Bryant's excellent old team picture.
Reggie Jackson is figuring out how to get by in the lockout: "While most veteran players aren't receiving paychecks, they at least have—or should have—some money saved. However, Jackson, the 24th player taken in the draft, has yet to receive his first pro check at all. Instead of signing his rookie contract last month, Jackson was forced to take out a loan. He tells the Oklahoman that it's a small amount that only keeps him afloat. "I'm trying to pay back as little as I can and just get through the times right now," Jackson said."
Berry Tramel says the NBA might be better off starting late: "Maybe you'd have to go with an earlier calendar in certain Olympic years. Maybe franchises would like the conflict; sort of an excuse to keep stars from playing all year long. Either way, the later calendar start is the way to go for the NBA. Starting with this coming season, should a late settlement arrive and prove Billy Hunter wrong."

"Quilty," an Online Show for Rookie Quilters, Hosted by PBS Newcomer Mary Fons, To Launch January 19th
Winterset, IA – January 17, 2011 – Though it may come as a surprise to those who think quilts are something collecting dust in their attic, quilting is a 3.58 billion dollar industry (Quilting in America Survey, 2010) which continues to enjoy steady growth year after year. What the numbers don't show, however, is the need for the next generation of quilters to pick up their needle and thread.
Enter "Quilty," a new online show offered at QNNtv.com by parent company New Track Media. (www.heyquilty.com) "Quilty" seeks to inform and inspire the next generation of quilters by getting the new crowd where they are (online, of course) and giving them what they want—friendly, casual instruction with a sense of humor.
Hosting the show is self-proclaimed "junior varsity" quilter Mary Fons, daughter of celebrity quilt educator/author Marianne Fons, and new co-host of PBS's nationally-aired hit quilting show "Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting." Mary previously appeared as a guest on "Love of Quilting," and quilters responded that seeing a fresh face was a plus for the show—and for the industry at large. When Liz Porter retired in 2010, Mary joined her mother as co-host, offering a "newbie" quilter's perspective alongside her expert quilter mom.
Mary felt there was an unmet need for a show that would reach the truly green quilters of her generation. "I have lots of friends who want to make a baby quilt or a quilt for charity," Mary says, "and I know that the first thing they do is Google 'baby quilt' or search YouTube." The options she found when she did her own search were less than perfect. "There wasn't a truly youthful, approachable show that was teaching quilting," she says. "I wanted to give beginners something that feels like there's a friend right thee next to them, showing them how to make a quilt."
Because many new quilters have hardly even seen a sewing machine, much less threaded one, "Quilty" will focus on the fundamentals of quilting. "There are no dumb questions," Fons says.
"Quilty," which is filmed in Chicago and launches on QNNtv.com on January 19th, promises to deliver great quilting instruction with humor, zest, and respect for the art of quilting.
"Quilty" is sponsored by: APQS, Baby Lock, Havels Sewing, and Quiltology.
About New Track Media
New Track Media was formed in 2006 by Stephen J. Kent and Boston Ventures for the purpose of building a premier consumer enthusiast publishing platform in a range of special interest subject areas. The company has since established an extensive crafts content group including magazines such as Fons & Porter's Love of Quilting, Easy Quilts, Fons & Porter's Love of Knitting, along with the affinity club, Quilters Club of America, and the Keepsake Quilting family of direct mail catalogs. In addition, the company owns other magazines such as Sky & Telescope, which has been continuously published for more than 75 years and is widely considered the worldwide editorial authority in the field of astronomy, and two magazines in the woodworking subject area, American Woodworker and Woodwork. With the acquisition of CK Media, the company employs approximately 300 and operates from headquarter offices in Cambridge (MA).

President Bush has earned a reputation as one who listens to all points of view and opinions before rendering a decision.
However, come October, the president should be close-minded.
When Bush travels to Beijing next month part of the agenda is to discuss ongoing U.S. missile defense plans.
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer described the initiative as "part of the administration's outreach to China and other nations . . . to discuss with them the reason why we are developing a missile defense system."
China need only look in the mirror to discover the reason for a U.S. missile defense system.
The administration should pursue international agreements and understanding with U.S. allies regarding a missile defense system.
China hardly fits this designation.
The United States should not require the approval of or an "outreach" to oppressive governments such as China for the implementation of a missile defense system.
To borrow from an old axiom, asking the fox to approve a security system for the henhouse comes to mind.
Bush's "outreach" to China regarding missile defense should be limited in scope and not an integral part of improving relations between the two countries.
The New York Times reported Sunday that China may be seeking U.S. approval of its military buildup, with missile defense as a bargaining chip.
This scenario should be a primary consideration for Bush, who should be more concerned with how the federal government will fund a missile defense system than China's irrelevant approval or disapproval.

WASHINGTON -- The return of Antonio McDyess to the Detroit Pistons was supposed to make everything all right.
He would bring stability to the team's bench now that Rodney Stuckey is a starter. He would help trim Rasheed Wallace's minutes down and of course, play solid defense and rebounding like he has done for so many years.
But these are not one-player-fix-all problems that the Detroit Pistons face these days, evident by how they let a struggling Washington team defeat them, 107-94, despite a solid game from McDyess.
Before the game, McDyess made it clear that his return wasn't going to be the elixir for all of the Pistons' problems.
"I'm not a savior," said McDyess, who had nine points and six rebounds in just over 25 minutes. "I'm just going to come in and help the guys the best that I can."
• Pistons lose early lead, fall to lowly Wizards
• Boxscore
And he did just that while he was on the floor.
His offensive rebound in the fourth quarter set up a wide open jumper for Richard Hamilton that helped Detroit cut Washington's lead to 92-88 with 2:35 to play.
Detroit couldn't get any closer than that, as the Wizards pulled away for only their fourth win of the season.
Although disappointed with the loss, Pistons players and coach Michael Curry were pleased with McDyess' play.
Several things bothered Curry with Tuesday's loss, including how a number of his players allowed calls and non-calls by the officials to have a negative affect on their play.
McDyess, however, was the exception.
"I thought Dice was great," Curry said. "With him coming back, he is one of the guys that's really tough and he'll play through anything and don't let nothing bother him."
Said Stuckey: "We knew when Dice came back, he would be the same Dice that he always is, making his mid-range jumper and getting down in the post, playing good defense and stuff like that."
Bynum's backup role
Although Will Bynum didn't log a ton of minutes on Tuesday, he will serve as the team's backup point guard just as long as Stuckey is a starter.
"It's a great opportunity for me," said Bynum, who had three points in just over five minutes of action Tuesday. "I'm ready to take full advantage of it. I'm ready."
Even though he knows he has a better chance of playing consistently, Bynum said his approach to games won't be any different.
"I approach games the same way, whether I play no minutes or I play 20 minutes," he said. "I still do my same routines, and stay in tune with the game. That's just part of being a professional. I've played everywhere, every single level of professional basketball. All you can do is stay positive about it, work hard and wait for your turn. Eventually, it'll happen."

Dreamfall Chapters Book One Sneak Peek
So now that the game is officially going episodic, we finally have a trailer for Dreamfall Chapters Book One: Reborn. Watch it here.
Dreamfall Chapters Developer Takes on Spielberg and Lucas
Dreamfall Chapters developer Ragnar Tornquist recently responded to remarks made by George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg about video gaming.
Dreamfall Chapters on Steam Greenlight and Fan Art Contest
Dreamfall Chapters is now available on Steam Greenlight. And the dev team is pulling out a call to artists, cosplayers, etc. to enter their fan art contest.
Dreamfall Chapters Is Now On Kickstarter
When Dreamfall Chapters was initially announced, we knew that the project had been released by Funcom to Ragnar Tornquist to become an independent Kickstarter-funded title. Well, as of today, that has happened – Dreamfall Chapters is officially a Kickstarter Project.
Dreamfall Chapters: New Information And Artwork Is Revealed
As far as I'm concerned, one of the best video games of all time is The Longest Journey, followed by Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. And once I'd heard that we were finally getting a third game in the series, Dreamfall Chapters, I nearly wept with joy.
20 Best Female Protagonists in Video Games
There have been quite a few game titles that have featured strong independent women as their main protagonists. So let's celebrate women in gaming by focusing on these popular characters who have provided us with positive role models and given us hours of gaming enjoyment.
Steam sale for The Longest Journey and Dreamfall
If you haven't noticed, "The Longest Journey" and "Dreamfall" are on sale NOW on Steam for $6.24 for both games. I have recommended these games several times on this blog and on Twitter, but if you still haven't played them, here is your chance. These are easily two of the best PC games you're going to find. They both feature strong storytelling and strong characters and will leave you wanting more.
From the Video Game Vaults: The Longest Journey and Dreamfall
I have probably mentioned in passing the genius that is Ragnor Tornquist in referring to the upcoming MMORPG The Secret World. However, for me, my obsession with the man began with "The Longest Journey" and its sequel "Dreamfall."

There's going to be a baby next door. Kendra Wilkinson and her fiancé, NFL star Hank Baskett are going to become parents, she has confirmed.
The Girls Next Door E! reality star told E! News's Marc Malkin, "Hank and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together. We are touched by the outpouring of support by our family, friends and fans."
In February, Wilkinson, 23, told PEOPLE: "We always talk about [having kids]. He wants kids so [badly], and I do, too."
Wilkinson even went so far as to tell PEOPLE that she and Baskett, a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles, were already working on names.
"My first initial is K and my middle name is Leigh, so we were thinking of Kaleigh," she said. "And he's Hank Baskett III, so of course I'm going to have a Hank Baskett IV!"
Wednesday, on her own blog, Wilkinson writes: "[S]o the rumors are true ... i am pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hank and i were beyond excited when we found out the news and i[']ve been dying to tell all of you but we were waiting for the perfect time to do it."
She apologizes for not breaking the news herself, but happily anticipates "that soon hank and i are going to have a little athlete running around the house. seriously, the first thing this kid is going to see when it[']s born is a football hahahahaha." She adds, "i[']m the luckiest girl in the world!!!!"
Engaged since November, Wilkinson and Baskett, 26, plan to wed June 27 at the Holmby Hills, Calif., mansion of her former boyfriend, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

St. Joseph's Regional School in Newton, which had not undergone any major facilities' renovations since it opened more than 50 years ago, underwent an extensive facelift that was done primarily by more than 240 volunteer workers, including parents, former students and contractors.
"They worked 12-hour days, six days a weeks — even on Saturdays. It was a massive, massive undertaking," said parent-volunteer Jessie Martin.
"There was an army of construction crews, volunteers. We started on Memorial Day weekend and we were able to complete it all in about 100 days," said Martin.
"We were here every day, all summer."
While the centerpiece of the newly renovated school is the new library/media center, other improvements include a new lobby, a new computer lab located in what is affectionately described as the "cafa-gym-torium," a new nurses' office, new flooring and a fresh coat of paint throughout the K-8 school on Paterson Avenue.
A new art room, located in the school annex that once served as a convent until the nuns left the school some 20 years ago, was constructed in an area that once served as a chapel.
The art room, located adjacent to a new math lab, features several stained-glass windows that once adorned the chapel. A pew that was once in the chapel now welcomes visitors in the lobby area.
"As the state reduces spending on the arts, we're expanding," quipped longtime Principal Jo-Ann Higgs, adding art classes were previously taught from a portable cart.
Schools officials would not estimate the cost of the project but said much of the money came from a donor who asked not to be identified, as well as a group of benefactors.
The library/media center was named in honor of Joseph and Sarah McHugh, parents of Monsignor Kieran McHugh, principal of Pope John XXIII Regional High School in Sparta and director of the Academy of Sussex County Catholic Schools, a consortium of the four Catholic grammar schools in the county and St. Michael School in Netcong, Morris County.
"In this day and age when schools are closing all over, this is great," McHugh said of the project, noting that Immaculate Conception School in Franklin also underwent major repairs this summer.
Higgs said enrollment at St. Joseph's, which opened last week and has a capacity of 225 pupils, remained steady this year at 192. The renovation project did not add any additional capacity at the school, where tuition is $4,680 for Catholic church members in Sussex County.
St. Joseph's is one of 38 elementary schools in the Paterson Diocese, which includes schools in Morris, Passaic and Sussex counties. Total enrollment at the schools is 11,433, according to the diocese website.
McHugh said enrollment at Sussex County's Catholic schools experienced a slight increase this year although he was uncertain of the enrollment numbers at the other schools in the diocese.
"They're in much better shape than they were," he said.
St. Joseph's will hold an open house on Sept. 15 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Strawberry Tart
From Everyday Food
Serves 8 | Prep time: 30 minutes | Total time: 2 hours 30 minutes
To prevent the delicate crust from breaking, leave it in the pan while assembling and chilling tart. Unmold tart just before serving.
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) plus more for handling dough
½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 bar (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
¼ cup sugar
1 ½ to 2 pounds strawberries, hulled and halved
¼ cup seedless red currant jelly
1. Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°. In a food processor, blend flour, butter, sugar, and salt until moist crumbs form (this may take up to 1 minute). Transfer dough to a 9-inch round tart pan with a removable bottom.
2. With floured fingers, press dough evenly into pan and up sides. Dip a dry-measuring cup in flour, and use it to press dough firmly into bottom and against sides of pan. Freeze crust until firm, 10 to 15 minutes.
3. Using a fork, prick crust all over. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes, pressing down gently once or twice with a spoon during baking if crust puffs up. Cool completely in pan.
4. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth; spread mixture evenly in bottom of baked crust (still in tart pan).
5. Starting from outside edge, arrange strawberry halves, stemmed side down, in tight concentric circles on cream cheese.
6. In a small saucepan, heat jelly on medium-low until liquefied. Gently brush strawberries with jelly; let set at least 20 minutes. Chill in pan at least 1 hour (and up to 6 hours); remove from pan just before serving.
Note: To hull strawberries, insert the tip of a paring knife below the strawberry's stem. Gently cut around to remove only the base of the stem and the white core.

The actress – who, with her long blonde hair, looked almost unrecognizable last month at the August: Osage County premiere – has been writing music lately, and tells ABC News that many of the songs are about young love.
"Boys and life. I mean, I'm 17," she says. "So, basically that's the thing that runs through my head every day. So yeah, lots about boys."

Good thingstake time. A motto that few developers can afford today. Too big isthe pressure of the publisher. The development studio CD projectappears to have the time: Just before the gamescom the Poles of theXbox 360 version have The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings moved toFebruary 2012. Yet the makers in Cologne show scenes from the firstconsole version of role playing. And what we have seen there isalready very promising.
Theavailable since May PC version of The Witcher 2 (PC World Rating: 87- to the test ) was developed by the global trade press lavishedalmost exclusively with dream scores. The role play is one of themost beautiful of all. And the freedom of choice and the impact onthe story are characteristic features of the game. The makers it isimportant that the role play sprayed on the Xbox 360 the same charm,as on the PC and that the experience is the same. Therefore,developers do not officially speak of a port, but from an adaptation.
In the demo, the protagonist Geraltwalks through the forest with dwarf reinforcements. This shows thatCD works project to implement a 1:1: All the plants are where theyare also found in the PC version, (rocking slowly leaves the ground),even lighting and particle effects correspond to the computer model.Succeeded in really good developers the detailed armor and clothingof the characters and the mood light in the forest sections are shownto be proud of.

It is a pleasure to see your little angel grow. This growth and development is a result of various physical and mental changes that take place in your baby. It is very essential to take special care and precautions for the good health and safety of your baby. This baby center carries informative articles and useful baby care tips for parents on various facts related to the growth and development of their new born.
Bathing is an enjoyable time between a mother and her baby. During the first one to two weeks of life, the baby will not need an actual 'bath' until its umbilical stump falls off. A soft wash cloth or cotton wool and some warm water will do to clean up especially till the baby's umbilical cord drops off. It is important not to wet the belly button area, where the umbilical cord is still attached, as it may cause infection.
Once started on the bath routine, it is beneficial if the baby is massaged with any baby oil before bathing. This is practiced traditionally in some countries. It is a wonderful way to lavish attention and love on the child. This massage aids food absorption, promotes sleep, builds immunity and develops muscle tone and coordination in the child.
Although there is no fixed time to bathe the baby, most mothers find it convenient to do so before the mid-morning feed. Try and fix a time when the baby is not too hungry or tired as it may not enjoy its bath. Whatever the time, ensure that you have ample time to massage and bathe your baby. When planning for the baby's bath, some important points should be kept in mind.
Keep all the bathing supplies ready before starting the bath, such as a baby tub, soft towel, washcloth, baby soap or mild body wash, baby shampoo, and cotton balls. Clean diapers or nappies, and a set of clean clothes should be kept near at hand. It is very important to never leave the baby in the tub alone, even when the child is able to sit up in the tub on its own. Leaving the infant alone in the bath tub to answer the doorbell or telephone may be disastrous as the child may drown.
Babies enjoy warm baths. The temperature of the water should not be too hot or too cold. Avoid placing the baby in the tub while the water is running because the temperature can suddenly change and any hot water could result in severe burns to the child's delicate skin. Fill enough water in the tub to clean your baby but make sure the water is not above the child's head.
Do not undress the child until you are ready to bathe it. This is to prevent the child from catching chills. And remember, babies are fragile and quite slippery when wet. Throughout the bathing process, grip your child firmly, supporting its neck and back. Use a washcloth to gently wipe the baby. Wipe its head and neck, behind the ears, between the fingers and toes and be sure to clean the genital area thoroughly.
Make sure to rinse the baby with a few of cupfuls of water. Wrap the baby in a towel and pat till dry. If the skin is dry and has a bit of nappy rash, it is good to apply baby oil or baby lotion on the body that is moist after a bath, so that this moisture can be trapped. Applying baby lotion will moisturize the skin, keeping it soft. Baby powder may also be applied. You will love your baby's angelic grin when it falls asleep after a nice warm bath.

All South Carolina Medicaid patients soon will be able to use medical clinics in retail stores for wellness visits, preventive services and minor illnesses and injuries.
Beginning this month, the state is allowing CVS MinuteClinics and other retailers to enroll as providers in Medicaid, the state and federally funded health insurance program for low-income and disabled people.
S.C. Medicaid Director Tony Keck said the move is intended to keep people with basic health issues away from high-cost emergency rooms. It also could expand access to medical care as the state faces doctor shortages that are expected to worsen when hundreds of thousands of residents become insured for the first time under the national health-care overhaul.
Pediatricians and primary care doctors, who stand to lose Medicaid patients to retail clinics, oppose the states decision.
Officers from the S.C. Medical Association and the S.C. chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics said they worry retailers will disrupt the medical home model that encourages patients to have a single set of doctors and nurses coordinating all their care.
Keck, who said state officials began discussing retail clinics at his request earlier this year, had stern words for physicians who oppose the decision.
You guys close at 4:30, Keck said. People work during the day. They need some place to go after hours instead of the ER. We need to make it available to them.
The level of demand among Medicaid patients for such clinics is unclear, and patient advocates are split about the benefits of the new access.
Sue Berkowitz, executive director of the Appleseed Legal Justice Center in Columbia, said patients could begin relying on MinuteClinics for primary care and chronic disease management instead of routinely seeing physicians with deeper knowledge of their medical histories.
This contradicts the idea of long-term coordinated care, said Berkowitz, noting the state Medicaid agency has embraced the medical home model. It breaks the continuity of care.
But John Ruoff, the former program director of South Carolina Fair Share, said he counts any new access as an opportunity to serve more people better.
You might have to wait a week and a half for an appointment at your medical home when instead you can go to a retail clinic sooner, said Ruoff, who now is an independent health-care consultant in Columbia.
The type of treatment covered includes preventive care and episodic treatment for allergies, earaches, sore throats, blisters, burns and bug bites, among other ailments, according to the Medicaid agency.
None of that requires a highly trained physician, Ruoff said.
Patients under 5 will not be covered a concession the state made to pediatricians who said they worried about insufficient checks on immunizations and development for young children. The state is requiring retailers to fax clinic notes to patients primary care doctors within 24 hours of visits in order to maintain the Primary Care Medical Home model, according to a bulletin describing the changes.
Dr. Debbie Greenhouse, president of the S.C. chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, said those updates are not good enough.
Say you take a 6-year-old to a retail clinic for a well-child visit, but theres no real conversation about whats going on in school, Greenhouse said.
In reality, the child could be struggling not keeping up with peers. It should trigger a much more thorough investigation of their vision, hearing, perhaps learning differences. That would never happen if the initial conversation never takes place.
The S.C. Medical Association said in a statement it is concerned the use of retail clinics will lead to a fracturing of health care for South Carolinas patients.
A little more access at the expense of lesser quality and poorer patient and population health is not the ideal direction for health care in South Carolina, the association said in its statement. We continue to work with (the Department of Health and Human Services) to develop solutions to patient access that emphasize a long-term physician-patient relationship.
The executive director of the Convenient Care Association, a Philadelphia-based trade group, acknowledged that retail clinics are a resource, not a medical home.
We dont want to be the only sources of health care, Tine Hansen-Turton said of her associations members.
Retail clinics aim to refer Medicaid patients to primary-care doctors who could become their regular providers, Hansen-Turton said.
Ruoff, the health-care consultant, said the doctors mostly are worried the clinics will take away customers.
Its money out of their pockets, he said of losing patients on Medicaid.
The program, however, reimburses physicians less than Medicare or private insurance. The doctors keep talking about shortages. Well, if theres not enough doctors, lets remove from waiting rooms the ones that dont need a higher level of care and make it easier for everyone else to get an appointment and get seen.
Tom Charland, CEO of research firm Merchant Medicine, said the clinics have to be where Medicaid people are in order to expand access to care.
South Carolina has 25 retail clinics, all of them in CVS stores, according to Minnesota-based Merchant Medicine. More than half of the states clinics are in either Columbia or Greenville. The Charleston areas retail clinics are located in Mount Pleasant and on George Street downtown.
Dr. Andrew Sussman, president of CVS MinuteClinic and Associate Chief Medical Officer for CVS Caremark, said in a statement that the company plans to open new clinics in Fort Mill later this month and in Bluffton this fall. Further expansion could happen later this year and early next year as part of the companys plans to add 100 clinics a year through 2015, Sussman said.
As thousands of South Carolinians acquire insurance as a result of health care reform, we think MinuteClinic can play an increasing role in expanding access to high-quality, convenient and affordable care, Sussman said in the statement.
MinuteClinic already is considered in-network for some South Carolina Medicaid patients who have managed-care plans, according to CVS. Medicaid programs in several other states already cover care at retail clinics, according to the Convenient Care Association.
It certainly wouldnt surprise me that there is interest, given some of the increasing challenges of physician availability in general in this country, Matt Solo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors, said in an email.
South Carolina will maintain a list of new retail providers on its website when clinics begin enrolling. Patients will be notified of the changes in the coming months, Keck said.

SA's first low-cost tertiary education institution, 10-year-old Cida City Campus, is planning to spend up to R200m developing a "comprehensive" residential campus in Johannesburg, Cida's new executive director, Philip Hirschsohn, said yesterday.
Cida offers an accredited university-level Bachelor of Business Administration degree. About 800 students, all from disadvantaged backgrounds, have graduated from Cida. Of these graduates, about 80% have gained full-time employment.
Cida has a main campus in the city centre, and another, of about 8ha, in Lyndhurst, eastern Johannesburg. It is the Lyndhurst campus that Prof Hirschsohn plans to develop, although the institution has not yet begun its fundraising drive. Some operations would remain in the city centre.
The Lyndhurst campus already has a subsidised residence. While the Lyndhurst infrastructure there was "adequate" for now, the campus would become Cida's new "home" and needed more lecturing facilities and residences so that the institution could operate more like a "normal" university, Prof Hirschsohn said.
This would take between five and 10 years.
The director-general of the Department of Higher Education and Training , Mary Metcalfe, said the department recognised that the private higher education sector made a valuable contribution to SA, and that the Cida model had gained much respect. That Cida was in a position to expand and offer a more well-rounded student experience would "enhance the academic project", she said.
Prof Hirschsohn has said he joined Cida because be believed a business education should help students stepping from a working- class background into "the world of work".

In Reply.—In general, I agree with Professor Kazanetz. While the quotes from Serbsky sound suggestive enough, they hardly provide sufficient grounds for the conclusion that the czarist authorities punished "dissidents" (or, more precisely, revolutionaries) by psychiatric means.
Soviet sources, in particular staff members of the forensic psychiatric institute later named after Serbsky (including its current director), have indeed accused czarist officials of systematically referring healthy revolutionaries to special psychiatric institutions:
Under conditions of class terror and brutal reprisal against revolutionaries, especially during the intense reaction after 1905, the courts of Tsarist Russia sometimes prescribed an expert examination in order to create at least the external appearance of impartiality of their actions, while at the same time they attempted to use such examinations in their class interests. In other cases they would reject an expert opinion for no reason whatever.
Because the Tsarist autocracy did not entrust a psychiatric expert

About This Book
Walter Dean Myers's Cruisers series keeps going strong!
The Cruisers are in trouble — again. The freedom of expression they've enjoyed by publishing their own school newspaper, The Cruiser, has spread all the way to England, where kids from a school "across the pond" are now contributors to their own school's most talked-about publication. When photos start to go alongside the articles written by kids, things get suspicious. Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, Bobbi, and a bunch of students from Harlem's DaVinci Academy and London's Phoenix School come to learn that words and pictures in a newspaper don't always tell the whole story.
With his signature on-point pacing and whip-smart characters, award-winning author Walter Dean Myers delivers another awesome book about the Cruisers, a group of middle-school misfits who are becoming the coolest kids in the city.

In Reply.—The PA concept was developed to help lessen the burden of the overworked physicians in our country. The concept was based on the fact that the majority of patients in most practice settings have common problems seen daily that can be competently treated by a practitioner with an educational background similar to that of PAs.
Exception must first be taken to Dr Kersten's use of the terms "nonmedical" and "partially trained practioners." The PA profession is a medical profession, both by design and actual service. They are thoroughly trained to perform many different tasks. An independent examining board tests that level of training by a rigorous entry-level examination, and PAs are further required to maintain a high level of competence by a mandatory 100 hours of continuing medical education courses every two years.
The fact that Dr Kersten concedes he could teach a high school graduate to be

Masterpiece Mystery!: Poirot: The Clocks
Thursday, November 7 at 9:00 p.m.
Multiple frozen clocks lead Poirot to suspect an international conspiracy.
A lovely young stenographer, Sheila Webb (Jaime Winstone), is greeted at a job not by her client but by an eerie assembly of clocks all frozen at the precise same moment in time and, behind the couch where she sits waiting, a corpse.
Horrified, she scrambles screaming into the street, straight into the arms of Naval Lieutenant Colin Race (Tom Burke). In Race, she finds a protector who takes her story to Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), and together they set about exonerating her, all the while trying to unearth a German mole who masterminded Race's botched spy mission at Dover Castle. But when a second murder is discovered, the mystery becomes more "dagger" than "cloak" and the evidence mounts against Sheila. Faced with enduring a pint of beer, the rubbing of cats against his legs, and being mistaken for a Frenchman, will Poirot prevail in revealing the killer and the mole?
Geoffrey Palmer ("As Time Goes By") also guest stars.

Brandon Prust (upper body) is game time decision for tonight game vs Rangers. #canadiens
— Renaud Lavoie (@RenLavoieRDS) February 23, 2013
…geez, now an ex-Ranger might not play in this game? What the hell's going on around here?
…although, Prust is a gamer and I seriously doubt he's going to miss an Original Six match-up against his former team.
Prust has been on a roll lately with two points (1g, 1a) along with eight hits in his last three games.
Rick Nash (undisclosed), Darroll Powe (concussion) and Arron Asham (back spasms) are out for the Rangers tonight, while Marc Staal (flu) and Michael Del Zotto (lower body) are game time decisions.

South Africa, Oregon Look to Recycling, Reuse to Deal With Tech Trash
Jason Mick
July 23, 2012 10:00 AM
comment(s) - last by
Aug 6
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Simply junking electronics is not only wasteful, it can seep toxins into the water supply.
According to the
U.S. Environment Protection Agency
, in 2005 the U.S. generated 2.6 million tons of e-waste [
] -- of which only 12.6 percent was recycled. That amounts to 14.6 pounds of unrecycled e-waste per American on average.
I. The Race to Recycle
But the U.S. doesn't live with this
inordinate amount of high-tech refuse
. Instead it ships 90 percent of it to Nigeria and China,
often illegally
. The e-waste trade creates some troubling social dilemmas -- for example it brings much needed money to impoverished regions in China and Africa, but at the same time many of the workers l
ack the tools and safety equipment to safely recycle
the materials, or the knowledge to understand the health hazards of smelting used electronics.
Many workers develop respiratory issues and other health problems. Worse still, local water supplies have become contaminated with lead, leading to mental retardation and infertility among local children.
The U.S.'s habit of shipping tech trash overseas brings money to impoverished region, but often the cost in human health outweighs the gains. [Image Source: Jack Dempsey/AP]
The only "real" solution is to step up reuse and
local recycling efforts
One region that's rising to the occasion is the state of Oregon. Oregonians
26 million pounds of e-waste (13 thousand metric tons) under the state-wide "
Oregon E-Cycles Program
" in 2011. This year the program is aiming for 27 million pounds -- 7 pounds per person.
The program is funded an zero-expense to the taxpayer by assessing device manufacturers with small fees, which are used to recycle the returned electronics in a responsible fashion. Three device manufacturers participate as contract recyclers and another state contractor is also involved. The program is managed by the The
Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
and has been a resounding success, posting several years of successive growth in collections.
Oregon is recycling nearly half its citizens e-waste. [Image Source: City of Portland]
Meanwhile, far across the globe in South Africa's largest city, Johannesberg, a top trash collector, Pikitup, is
working to step up
in-house recycling. South Africa collects 1.4 million tons of trash annually -- 2.8 billion pounds of trash. Of this massive haul, approximately 10 percent is junk electronics.
Pikitup communications manager Pansy Oyedele says that her company was throwing away a treasure trove before it started recycling. She comments, "People generally don't know that much of this e-waste can be recycled. A perfect example is the steel, aluminium and copper, which can be stripped away from old computers, and then reused in newer models."
Recycling a ton of high grade electronics can cut 4 tons of carbon emissions and can yield between 100 g and 10 kg of gold. A kg of gold is worth $50,000+ USD on today's market so that means recyclers can make millions in gold alone from e-waste recycling.
II. Reuse Also Critical, Has Potential for Quicker Break-Even
But recycling efforts aren't always the best fit. Reuse has also taken center stage as society tries to cut e-waste. Many consumers abandon working devices that other consumers would happily purchase. Recycling is profitable, but has significant overhead. Reuse, by contrast has virtually no overhead, other than inventory and sales costs.
Grocery totes aren't the only reusable items -- electronics can easily be reused in most cases.
[Image Source: Smallfire]
Both strategies spare local people in impoverished regions from the health hazards of unsafe disposal. And both cut down on the release of halogen fire retardants and lead from local landfills into the water supply.
E-Waste is a global problem, both from a production and a processing perspective. Even in relatively "green" state like Oregon, nearly half of people's electronics waste still goes unrecycled.
But industry sponsored programs, along with private-public partnerships between industry, local government, and consumers are slowly reshaping the way the U.S. and its foreign peers deal with their aged electronics. As these efforts consider to expand the U.S. may eventually get to the point where it no longer has to smuggle it's tech trash overseas. And in the process it will likely generate a number of high tech and skilled trade jobs.

and infertility among local children.

Unless the regions have a notable difference in children giving birth, them the original statement stands.

SPAP is not published by Shiva, so it's likely that only a Shiva PPP

The Shiva client might be using an outdated SPAP implementation relative
to the server implementation and send a Code-Rej or Conf-Rej, either
of which would cause negotiation failure. To the best of my (meager)
knowledge SPAP has only 4 data octets for negotiation, but that could
have changed. The message exchanges above suggest that it did change.
> Anybody point me to SPAP option definition ?
I'd think there would be documentation for configuring the client SPAP.
If there is none then that would seem to support the conjecture that
it's SPAP implementation is outdated.

Beef, Vegetable and Noodle Soup
I remember growing up on Guam and loving rainy days (we had a LOT of them, too) because that meant my mom might just make her beef and noodle soup. I didn't know what it was commonly called back then — I just called it "Mom's soup".
When my children lived with my parents for the year my husband and I deployed to Iraq, they too learned to call it "Mom's soup", and they often ask me to make it for them. There is nothing like Mom's cooking. In this case, my kids are referring to my mom, whom they lovingly call "Mom" as well.
This soup is sometimes called "Soup Tan Kandelaria" or "Beef Sotanghon Soup". I just call it "Delicious".
This is my sister's recipe. She and I learned to cook from the best — our Mom. 🙂
Here's to you, Mom!
Beef, Vegetable and Noodle Soup
Recipe by Carolyn Merfalen
- Flank steak, cut into small, thin pieces, as much as you like (about 1 pound)
- Chicken, cut into small pieces, about 1 pound, optional
- 1 bag vermicelli noodles
- 2 cans diced tomatoes
- 1 can sweet corn
- Any other vegetables you like, diced
- 2 cans water (use tomato cans)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Dashida (Korean beef stock)
- Chopped parsley, about 1 cup
- Garlic powder, to taste, or about 1 tablespoon
- Onion powder, to taste, or about 1 tablespoon
1. Start by braising the meat or chicken in a little olive oil and diced garlic. Everyone's got a slightly different way of putting it all together. I used flank steak, but any kind of beef meat or chicken will be just as good.
2. Add two cans of diced tomatoes (there are various ones, use whatever is your preference).
3. Add other vegetables. Again, the vegetables you add would basically be the kinds you like in your soup. I used canned sweet corn, fresh diced celery and onions, and fresh potatoes cut into quarters. I tend to keep the potatoes in bigger pieces since it breaks down while cooking and stirring.
4. Add water. Use one of the tomato cans and measure out two full cans; use more or less, depending on how light or thick a broth you would like.
5. Let simmer over low heat until the potatoes are done then add the vermicelli and spices. Before adding the vermicelli, immerse it in boiling water for about three or four minutes. Pour the vermicelli into a strainer, run cold tap water over it, cut them with a pair of kitchen scissors, add them to the soup.
6. Simmer until the noodles and vegetables are done. Serve hot and enjoy!
