Easy Beani Panini — Fast Healthy Lunchkathypatalsky
You love white beans and spinach, say, in soup – well, how about smashed into a grilled sandwich? I give you, the Easy Beani Panini..
Beans are an incredible source of protein, fiber and vitamins – but getting the "bean critics" in your house to embrace them isn't always easy. My fast, healthy lunch idea: the Beani Panini just may change all that. Give this recipe a try and see if you can convert the bean-haters in your house to "bean-sandwich" lovers!..
You've seen hummus – made from beans and easy to spread across some bread into a sandwich. Love it. But what about taking beans straight from the can and smashing them between two grilled pieces of bread? Crazy? Weird? Has it been done? Maybe. But this was the first time I have ever tried such a creation. And I loved it. I was able to enjoy all the taste and flavor of beans without actually taking the time to make homemade hummus first. Plus this was a creative new twist on "beans in a sandwich".
I also saved a few calories since there was very little added oil to the beans, and less added salt than you'll find in most store-bought hummus brands.
You can make this Beani Panini with a variety of beans, but the white cannellini beans I used are probably your best bet. They are soft enough to gently bind to the bread, yet not too soft to make things mushy.
And the best part about this idea is that it's really a technique more than a recipe – you can add any ingredients you'd like to customize this "smashed bean" sandwich.
Give this creative recipe a try!..
White Bean Spinach –
EZ Beani Panini
vegan, makes one sandwich
2 slices whole grain bread – something hearty
handful of baby spinach
spicy mustard – optional bread spread
bean mixture:
1/2 cup cannellini beans, drained well
1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (for cheezy flavor)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
pinch of salt
2 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp maple or agave syrup
2 tsp olive oil
dash of black pepper
tools: panini press (or stove-top grill pan)
spray oil for panini press
1. Gather all your ingredients. Combine the bean mixture in a small bowl. Toss well and allow to marinate for at least ten minutes.
2. Grill your bread on a panini press for a few minutes – or toast in a toaster. You want to warm and crisp up the bread a bit before adding the beans.
3. For the beans – warm the mixture in your microwave for about a minute. Then spoon the beans onto one slice of your bread. Place the bean-covered bread on your panini press. Add a pinch of spinach over top the beans. Spray the top spinach leaves with a spritz of canola or olive oil – so they don't stick. Then press down your panini press – right on top of the spinach/beans. This will in essence – grill and lightly smash the beans.
4. After about one minute, lift the panini press and add the second slice of bread – the top layer slice – over top the beans/spinach. Close than panini press again for another minute.
5. Remove carefully from grill – allow to cool a tad and then slice. Serve!

A Blade of Grass is rethinking what a grant to an individual artist can be. Earlier this year, the nonprofit organization, which explores alternative models of funding for interactive and participatory art practices, launched Artist Files, the first project in a multiyear experiment. The inaugural grant is rooted in the concept of social engagement and hinges on the harbinger of interactivity: the internet. Artist Files is completely public-facing, presenting the entire grant process in the form of blog posts and probing questions on the organization's website. Visitors are invited to register and comment.Continue Reading →

I had arrived at that inevitable point in every coastal vacation where I felt that if I saw one more light-flooded, water-meets-horizon landscape, I would boot. Just when I thought I couldn't take any more, I stumbled upon the Parrish Road Show, a series of installations and events organized by the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, NY. Described as "an innovative summer series created to generate transformative convergences between artists, visitors and diverse members of Long Island's East End community," the Road Show cured my seascape sickness by demanding something more from me as a viewer than a casual gaze as I walk by; the artworks triggered action.Continue Reading →

If your desk is covered with papers, files, catalogs and mail, it's easy to get discouraged as piles seem to grow on their own.
"When your work space is a mess, the basic disorder can begin to symbolize your other feelings as well—as though you're weighed down by everything else in life," says Stephanie Winston, author of several books on getting organized, including The Organized Executive. "On the other hand, a desk where all the papers have been dealt with sends a very different message of order, discipline and calm."
Ms. Winston suggests the following decision-making process for clearing your desk.
You can make only four decisions about a piece of paper: toss it; refer it, meaning pass it along or discuss it with someone else; act on it personally; or file it. Ms. Winston calls this the TRAF system.
Toss. "I seriously encourage you to toss as many papers as you reasonably can," she says. "If you're not certain if you should, ask yourself if you can find a duplicate in the unlikely event you'll need it. If you can, then throw it away."
Refer. This means there's someone else you want to share this information with, so you'll refer it to them. "To make it easier to deal with 'refers,' make a file folder for each of the people you frequently interact with—your boss, your assistant and a few coworkers—and drop the refer documents in each person's folder as you come across them," Ms. Winston says. When you have time, pull out one of the folders and cover several things at once with the person.
Act. This is the category for all the notes, memos and mail you receive that you need to personally respond to in some way. "Keep all your action papers in one place and schedule 30 to 60 minutes each day to deal with them," says Ms. Winston.
File. File-as-you-go is the best way to prevent a buildup of articles and materials you eventually intend to file. But be sure to make the file headings clear and easy to remember.
"It's the small decisions you make that often have the most effect on your time management, efficiency and productivity," says Ms. Winston. "In fact, if you spend 15 minutes a day TRAFing the current day's incoming mail, memos and faxes, you'll soon have gained mastery over your clutter."

Like the rest of the nation, many Maui retailers are opening on Thanksgiving Day, which one local retail expert says is "great for the economy."
"They are really excited about all the extended hours for the large and small stores. They feel strong retail is good for everyone. It's great for the economy," said Retail Merchants of Hawaii President Sheri Sakamoto of her members. "The more active the selling, the more active is the buying."
The merchants group has 200 members statewide with 2,000 stores that range from mom-and-pop shops to large national retailers such as Macy's, Sakamoto said.

Co-owner Troy Yokoyama spruces up a display at Sanrio at the Queen Ka'ahumanu Center on Wednesday. Sanrio will be open at midnight Thanksgiving. It's one of many island stores getting an early jump on the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Most stores open the day after Thanksgiving, on what's known as "Black Friday" because stores hope sales will put them "in the black" during the all-important consumer rush to buy holiday presents.

Macy's is one of the retailers across the nation opening a day earlier, bucking the trend of Black Friday shopping. That's normally the day when stores open early Friday morning, after Thanksgiving, with special sales to put them in the "black" for the year. Many retailers are opening on Thanksgiving instead to get a day's jump on the Christmas shopping season.
According to the National Retail Federation, around 33 million consumers are expected to spend their holiday shopping money on Thanksgiving Day.
Macy's will open at 8 p.m. It opened at midnight in years past.
Other large retailers on Maui that will open on Thanksgiving include Kmart and Walmart. Both stores will open at 6 a.m.
Sports Authority will open from 6 p.m. until midnight on Thanksgiving and reopen at 6 a.m. Friday. Sears will open at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving.
Queen Ka'ahumanu Center is also taking hold of the earlier opening times for its anchor stores, Macy's and Sears by holding an "Up all Night @ Queen Ka'ahumanu Center" Black Friday event. It will feature hourly giveaways from 9 p.m. Thanksgiving through 6 a.m. the next day.
"People are actively seeking places to shop before Black Friday," said Todd Vines, the center's marketing manager in an email. "Queen Ka'ahumanu Center is focused on creating a unique, spirited shopping experience for those people."
According to material from the center, the goal of holding the promotions is to increase foot traffic in the center portion of the mall as well as keep shoppers on-site and engaged as long as possible.
Other center stores that will open at 8 p.m. include: HouseMart/Ben Franklin, Jeans Warehouse, Forever 21, Pac Sun, Icing by Claire's, Sunglass Hut, T-Shirt Factory, Pretzelmaker and Diamond Wireless.
Other stores and eateries are scheduled to open from 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving through 4 a.m., with all remaining stores open at 6 a.m. the Friday after Thanksgiving. Starbucks will open at noon on Thanksgiving and remain open until 11 p.m. the Friday after Thanksgiving.
The Sanrio store that sells a myriad Hello Kitty stationary, toys and other logo items. It will be open for the second straight year at midnight at the center, said a co-owner Jean Yokoyama.
Last year, Jean and husband Troy decided to give the midnight opening a try. Alone.
Last year, there was unexpectedly a line outside her store.
"It was worth it," Yokoyama said, adding that this year it won't be just her and her husband, but will include other employees as well.
"I had volunteers actually," she said. "They want to work and run away and go shopping and do both."
She's hoping for a crowd again and is offering a door-buster special, which is a big face Hello Kitty or Cinnamon Roll character cushion for $59.99. Its regular retail price is $100.
There will be other specials as well, she said.
Yokoyama said she was happy that her employees volunteered to work.
Some Mainland retail employees protested the Thanksgiving openings of their stores. Some shoppers said they won't give in to the early opening times and will instead continue to shop on Friday.
Sakamoto said that unfortunately retail employees work a lot of hours during the holidays.
But she added that it's great that people have work and that our economy needs "the boost."
Although many retailers are opening earlier this year, some stores including the larger ones are sticking to the Black Friday game plan.
Those stores include Home Depot, which will open at 5 a.m. on the Friday after Thanksgiving as well as Barnes & Noble in Lahaina, which will open at 8 a.m. on Friday. Both retailers will be closed on Thanksgiving.
Sakamoto said smaller retailers might be sticking with regular Black Friday hours because their customers may not be ones needing to get a late night or early morning deal.
One of Maui's smaller retailers, My Sister's Closet Hawaii at the Maui Mall will open at 10 a.m. on Friday, and sales will run the whole day, including 50 percent off regularly priced items.
"You can come anytime and get the good deals," said owner Nikki Nguyen.
She added that she doesn't want to open on Thanksgiving or early in the morning on Friday to compete with heavyweights Walmart, Macy's and Sears.
"We are a small boutique," she added.
"I love my employees, and I want them to have sleep. I want them to enjoy the Black Friday sales and not work the sales," she said.

Women prefer pet talk to partner talk
Women talk about their pets more than their partner, new research has shown. Carried out by petnet360, the study revealed nearly 60 per cent of females are more likely to discuss their dog when conversing with friends or colleagues.
According to the investigation, 70 per cent of girls questioned said they think of their animal as one the family, compared to just 51 per cent of men who answered the same.
In addition, it was discovered that 52 per cent of female dog lovers find having their pooch in tow makes them feel most confident when meeting others - markedly more than the 23 per cent who said similar regarding being in the company of friends.
Dr Ceri Parsons, a Chartered Psychologist and Senior Lecturer in psychology at Staffordshire University, said: "Sharing stories about our pets allows us to validate our experiences of unqualified love and ensures the dog remains woman's best friend."

NEWAYGO COUNTY, MI — While it's encouraging that the Muskegon River's water levels continue to drop Friday, the damage already has been done for many areas.
The water level at Evart recently was measured at about 14.75 feet — off its all-time high of 15.97 feet. It still remains within major flood stage, however steady improvement through the weekend and into early next week make it likely the level will go below the 12-foot flood stage by Tuesday.
There's even better news downstream near the Croton Dam, where the water level sits at about 11.2 feet - a few inches above moderate flood stage. Pleasant weather in the coming days should better this situation, too.
The river is poised to fall below its 9-foot flood stage by Wednesday.
"That's the trend, and the dry weather is definitely helping the cause," said Brandon Hoving, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids. "We're seeing a sharper decline at the Evart location, (so) based on that pace, it'll likely drop below major flood stage tonight."
Considering the slow and destructive nature of flooding, residents along the river soon will have to assess the damage. Gov. Rick Snyder declared a "state of disaster" Thursday afternoon for Newaygo and Osceola counties, which allows additional resources to head toward the affected areas.
At least 400 homes have been affected, in addition to "significant road damage," authorities say. Federal funding could be assigned to areas most in need.
High waters won't have much of an effect further downstream into southwestern Newaygo County and Muskegon County as the water will spread out upon approaching those areas, Hoving said.
Here's the latest information for the Muskegon River basin from the National Weather Service. Visit their website for the latest river readings, plus forecasts.
Muskegon River at Evart
Now: 14.71 feet
Crest: 15.97 feet Tuesday
- At major flood stage now, now below previous record of 15 feet.
- At 14.5 feet, high water affects the sewage treatment plant, in addition to major flooding in subdivisions along the river.
Muskegon River near Croton Dam
Now: 11.22 feet
Crest:13.1 feet Tuesday
- At moderate flood stage now. Crest of 13.1 feet likely to fall at No. 2 on the list of highest historical crests, beating the level of 11.11 feet set on April 19, 2013.
- At 11 feet, expect moderate flooding of cottages and homes upstream of Newaygo on Salmon Run and Russell Road.

FACTS on the GROUND: Track West Bank Illegal Israeli Settlements on iPhone & the Web
Since 1967 "Israel" has been confiscating land from the indigenes Palestinian inhabitants of occupied westbank and Jerusalem (Alquds) and building settlements on top of them for new illegal jewish migrants.
Americans for peace now a US adjunct to Jewish Israeli Peace Now organization has launched an iPhone and web google maps mashup to track those settlements and their expansion called: APN Facts on the Ground Map Project.
Facts on the Ground enables users to view and filter Jewish Settlements based on areas that have full or partial control by Palestinian authority , view each Settlement, symbolized by little blue houses on the map, once clicked on one of them , icon gives its land area. A second click brings up a window with more details: the year it was established, population, ideology (or lack of), character (secular or religious), amount of 'private Palestinian land' it occupies, and a graph that tracks its population growth.
APN intends to update the map regularly with new information, including the establishment of outposts and their dismantlement, and violent incidents on the part of Palestinians and settlers. and plans to turn it into a real time info app.
The app is available English on for free the web and for the iPhone and iPad, Android and a hebrew version in the works.
Peace now says that their goal from this app "is to revolutionize the debate over settlements, breaking through polemics and spin, to anchor the discussion in the facts."
This is another example how iPhone and google maps have been used for social causes.
Share and Enjoy

SILVER CREEK – The Hanover Town Board will hold a public hearing on a project to repair and update the wastewater treatment plant.
At the regular meeting Tuesday, board members agreed to set 7 p.m. June 19, in the town hall, for a public hearing for residents of the town's sewer district.
Town Supervisor Todd Johnson said employees of the water and sewer department, engineers and the town's business manager will be on hand to discuss the implications of the $5.2 million project. The town will also discuss the cost of financing the project for district residents.
The town will look to improve the drying beds and other issues at the wastewater plant.
In other matters:
• Town Highway Superintendent Steve D'Angelo said his crews removed 20 tons of debris from the beach at Sunset Bay. He said the beach has been cleaned and raked and is ready for summer visitors. Supervisor Johnson said the target date for opening is June 24. However, he said, the town has not yet received the permit to open the beach from the health department.
• Chautauqua County Legislator George Borrello, R-Sunset Bay, said the state Department of Environmental Conservation has received a permit request for permission to dredge Cattaraugus Creek at Sunset Bay. Borrello and local leaders are still looking for funds to go forward with the dredging project. Borrello encouraged D'Angelo to apply for funding from the Chautauqua County Bed Tax program.
• Water Treatment Plant Operator Mark Ellis urged the board to consider reducing the permit fee for people who replace their own traps in their sanitary sewer systems. Ellis said the current fee of $150 discourages people from applying for a permit and having an inspection. Ellis said poorly installed traps can cause clogs and further damage.
• Councilman Kevin O'Connell asked the board to consider installing a station with bags and a place to dispose of pet waste in the Sunset Harbor area, where, he said, there have been complaints of pet waste.
• D'Angelo said his crews found a used syringe in a public trash can and wanted to remind the public that medical waste such as syringes should be properly disposed of. He said his crews will take new precautions to prevent accidents involving syringes in trash.

Decomposition - Succession
The environment provided by a dead body changes with time.
This change is a result of drying, and the activities and by-products of the corpse fauna. Different groups of animals find the corpse attractive at different stages of decomposition and the resultant change in the animal community is called a succession.
Many bacteria respire anaerobically (without oxygen) and so they can consume the body from the inside. They are also tolerant of the acidic conditions of the muscles shortly after death, caused by the build up of lactic acid. Because of these attributes and the fact that they are already present in the body before death, bacteria are the first colonisers and they continue to feed on a dead body until it dries out.
Flies have great powers of dispersal and they rapidly discover bodies, usually* ahead of the beetles. Although they can feed on fluid that exudes from a fresh body, the acidic tissues of a fresh corpse cannot be digested by flies. The activities of the bacteria, and the excretions of fly larvae feeding on exuded fluid, eventually neutralise the acid making the semi-liquid corpse particularly attractive to blowflies, flesh flies and house flies.
*(Necrophorus beetles carry mites on their bodies (Poecilochirus) which feed on fly eggs. If the mites arrive before the eggs hatch, the carcass can be dominated by the beetles.)
The alkaline environment created by the flies is toxic for beetles and so beetles are largely excluded from feeding on the dead body itself as long as the fly larvae are active. However, many species of rove beetle, carrion beetle and burrowing beetle are still present in the early stages of decomposition because they are active predators of fly larvae, avoiding the alkaline tissues of the corpse.
Parasitoid wasps are also abundant at dead bodies, laying their eggs inside fly larvae and pupae.
As the corpse dries, it becomes less suitable for the blowflies, flesh flies and house flies that like a semi-liquid environment. Different fly families, the cheese flies and coffin flies, are abundant as the corpse dries.
Eventually, the corpse becomes too dry for the mouth hooks of maggots to operate effectively. The hide beetles, ham beetles and carcass beetles, with their chewing mouthparts, devour the dry flesh, skin and ligaments. Finally, moth larvae and mites consume the hair, leaving only the bones to slowly disintegrate.

Linda R. Watkins, distinguished professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Colorado, has won Spain's Prince of Asturias Award for Technical and Scientific Research.
The award, announced this month, recognizes Watkins' groundbreaking work in understanding the mechanisms and potential control of pain. She shares the 2010 award with two other leading pain researchers, University of California physiologist David Julius and University of Jerusalem biochemist and geneticist Baruch Minke.
Working independently, the trio has "discovered, from complementary approaches, the causes and mechanisms via which pain is produced and perceived, as well as other sensations such as cold, heat and taste," the Prince of Asturias Foundation stated.
"I am deeply honored to be selected for this prize, with my co-recipients Dr. Julius and Dr. Minke," Watkins stated. "There are numerous people who have importantly contributed to the understanding and recognition of glia as powerful modulators of pain and opioid actions, both within my laboratory and beyond."
She added, "I look forward to accepting this award as representing all of the research that has led to glia becoming an important target for improving human pain control and improving the clinical efficacy of opioids."
Watkins and her colleagues are striving to develop new drugs that enhance the ability of opioid drugs to treat pain, while decreasing negative side effects such as tolerance, dependence and addiction.
In a letter supporting the nomination of Watkins, Julius and Minke, Eric R. Kandel, winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, praised the three for their "radical new discoveries" that pave the way for "new strategies for treating persistent or chronic pain syndromes."
Ada E. Yonath, a 2009 Nobel laureate in chemistry, emphasized the significance of the trio's research: "It is well known that chronic pain is considered to be of the magnitude of epidemic problem that affects the entire society. Hence, their findings are of immense significance. Furthermore, the prospects of the application of their work for the benefit of mankind are highly promising."
The Asturias prizes, which will be formally awarded in the autumn, include a stipend of 50,000 Euros and a sculpture by artist Joan Miro. The Prince of Asturius Foundation bestows eight awards annually to encourage and promote "the scientific, cultural and humanistic values that form part of mankind's universal heritage."
Watkins, who has been at CU since 1988, is a CU President's Teaching Scholar and directs the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Ph.D. program. Her research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Institute for Mental Health, the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Stroke, the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research, and the National Institute for Drug Abuse. She has written or co-written more than 250 book chapters, review articles and journal articles.

I like grey shoes and these are ok. Nothing to write home about. At least they are opening up the idea of more retros. I'm waiting on the 17s and 18s mostly.

Another look at an unreleased newbie from thee Air Jordan XVI Retro that never was is upon us – this low-top colorway of Dark Grey/Metallic Silver-Stealth-White. We first showed you the 'Stealth' colorway almost a month ago, but this closer viewing reveals some interesting details, like the wrinkled grey material seen in the Wolf Grey V and breathable mesh material used to construct the inner bootie. It's strange that the entire Retro cycle of the XVI was nipped at the bud, but there's no reason to think that an XVI re-issue won't happen in the future. This particular sample is reported to be a release in late 2013/early 2014, but we'll keep you updated on any updates regarding a wider Air Jordan XVI Retro.

I like grey shoes and these are ok. Nothing to write home about. At least they are opening up the idea of more retros. I'm waiting on the 17s and 18s mostly.
If your going to bring back the Xvi's bring em back the right way with some decent color ways
These they could have kept
the xvi low was a nice shoe not really feeling this cw but at least they was thinking
These are ugly but I hope they release the red and white lows. Really good shoe to play in I love the traction on the soles. One of my top 5 to play ball in.
Really clean look right here

The first two weeks of spring practices are over for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Obviously, it's going to be tough to make big claims of what is going to happen over the rest of the Pokes' offseason this early.
However, a few interesting tidbits of information have come out over the Cowboys' first few weeks of spring ball. The early enrollees are making their mark, and the quarterback battle is starting to really heat up. Add in a visit from Dallas Cowboys' backup quarterback Brandon Weeden, and it's an exciting beginning for Oklahoma State.
Read on to see the current stock watch for some of the key players for the Cowboys.

Theory of Operation for SR04 Timing Utilitiesby David P. Anderson
09 March 1999
II. Timing Utilities
void reset_system_clock() { sysclock = 0; }
This function is used to reset the system clock to zero. It is pretty trivial in the HC6811/icc11 environment, but is worth coding as a separate subroutine to ease porting to other hardware/software platforms. In practice this reset is only called immediately after hardware reset during the SR04 initialization sequence.B. Read sysclock
void mseconds(unsigned long *t) { *t = sysclock; }
This function is likewise trivial, but eases porting. Calling this routine with a pointer to a long sets that long equal to the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system clock was reset.
Note that this could also be coded as a function that returns a long. For the HC6811 architecture with it's 16 bit address space, it is more convenient to pass in a 16 bit pointer than to pass back a 32 bit value. This allows for fewer stack maniplulations using the 8 bit hardware stack.C. Timer done
int timer_done(unsigned long *t) { return (sysclock >= *t); }
The timer_done() function returns a boolean that indicates whether the sysclock has incremented past a particular previously set timer variable. This routine is the basis for all other timing functions. As long as the system clock is less than the timer variable t, the function returns a FALSE, (define as 0). When the system clock is greater than or equal to the timer variable t, the function returns a TRUE (define as NOT 0).
Individual routines that need to use the timing function define their own timer variable(s) which can be set to the system clock plus some delay. Conditional execution can then be subject to a flag returned by timer_done().D. Delay plus the system clock
void plus_sysclock(unsigned long *t, unsigned int delay) { *t = sysclock + (unsigned long)delay; }
This function provides a quick way for a routine to set a timer delay as an offset to the current system clock. As in the other functions, the timer is passed in as a 16 bit pointer to a long. Adjust this for your hardware. To speed execution, the delay is constrained to 16 bits. In practice this is not much of a constraint, as most timing delays are considerably less than one minute (65,536 ticks). Indeed, most are less than one second.
E. Simple Example
void flash() { unsigned long t1, t2; /* define two local timers */ mseconds(&t1); /* set the timers = now */ mseconds(&t2); while (1) { /* endless loop */ if (timer_done(&t1)) { OUT_PORT ^= 0x1; /* flash led #1 on/off */ plus_sysclock(&t1,500); /* wait 500 msecs */ } if (timer_done(&t2)) { OUT_PORT ^= 0x2; /* flash led #2 on/off */ plus_sysclock(&t2,200); /* wait 200 msecs */ } } }
In this example, both timers will trigger on the first pass through the loop, turning their associated leds on. Timer t1 is then set to the system clock plus 500 msecs, and timer t2 is set to the system clock plus 200 msecs. The loop will then execute many times (many thousands, depending on your processor speed) and each time through the loop the timers will be tested and return a false.
After 200 msecs, the t2 timer will expire, and the timer_done(&t2) call will return a TRUE. It's led will be toggled off by the Exclusive OR statement, and the t2 timer reset for another 200 msecs. 200 msecs later the t2 timer will expire again and it's led toggled back on. 100 msecs after that the t1 timer will expire for the first time and its led will toggle, and so forth.
It becomes apparent that most of the CPU execution here is "idle" time, that is, waiting for a timer to expire. During this time other routines have a chance to run and this can be exploited for multi-tasking, more on this to come. For this reason it is helpful to insure that the timer_done() routine runs as fast as possible. The SR04 version is actually coded in assembly language and hand tweaked for best possible execution speed.
F. Extended Application
Each AFSM routine has its own STATE variable, to tell it what inputs to look for and what actions to take, and its own TIMER variable, to tell the state machine when to execute and when to defer. These are each called in turn from a single main loop, which runs endlessly as in the example above. SR04's main loop looks something like this:
void sensor_loop() { system_initialization(); while (1) { console(); speed_control(); slew_rate(); bumpers() ir(); photo(); sonar(); navigation(); motion_detectors(); translation(); feelers(); gripper(); passive(); behaviors(); telemetry(); alarms(); arbitration(); } }
Most of these tasks run with delays on the order of 50 to 250 ticks, so they execute about 4 to 20 times per second. The sensor tasks set global flags and arguments based on their states and inputs. It is the job of the arbitration task to determine their priority and pass the appropriate commands on to the motor and servo output subsystems. This is the basis of the "subsumption" architecture.

EDITOR'S NOTE: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Amanda Carey and Taylor Watkins as cousins based on information provided by authorities.
A woman is dead and her friend is charged with DUI after a Jeep flipped over on U.S. 17A near S.C. Highway 61 late Saturday.
Amanda Carey, 21, of Summerville died after she was ejected from the Jeep, Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet said.
The wreck happened about 11:40 p.m. when the 2000 Jeep was attempting to pass a 1998 Mercury while both vehicles were heading north on U.S. 17A, S.C. Highway Patrol Cpl. Sonny Collins said.
The vehicles made contact and the Jeep ran off the road and overturned, ejecting the passenger who was not wearing a seatbelt, Collins said.
No one else was injured in the crash.
Troopers charged the driver of the Jeep, 21-year-old Taylor Watkins, with driving under the influence, Collins said.
Collins said the patrol's Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team is still investigating which driver was at fault in the crash.
Nisbet said Carey and Watkins were good friends. "It's very sad," he said.
Friends immediately took to social media to grieve for Carey.
Nisbet said the case hit close to home for him because in 1986, as a senior in high school, he was a passenger in a Jeep that wrecked and rolled over on U.S. 17A.
The driver, Nisbet's friend, wasn't wearing a seat belt and was ejected. It's a big reason he urges everyone to wear their seat belts.
"They do indeed save lives," he said.

Genealogy trends: Bright ideas
When was the last time you used a typewriter?
Technology crept into my life when I switched from my beloved black portable manual Remington typewriter to an IBM electric.
Just a few years ago - relatively speaking - personal computers were just appearing on the scene. We researched the old-fashioned way - handwriting letters, loading rolls of film in our cameras, visiting dusty archives and rolled microfilm in resource centers. It took hours of effort to search for family information.
Today we connect in ways we couldn't imagine only a short time ago. We communicate almost instantaneously with email and messaging, and we can access ever-expanding Internet resources for family history. Everyone is connected by computer, by cellphone, by technology.
Once upon a time, my technology arsenal consisted of an electric typewriter. Today, it includes an all-in-one scanner-copier-fax, a desktop PC with large flatscreen monitor, a regular laptop (now semi-retired), a new mini-notebook (for travel), digital camera, cellphone and other personal devices. I am not a techie, so each new device means some frustration and excitement until I learn how to use it.
Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites keep us connected, and there are genealogy pages and groups on those sites, as well as active forums and family websites here at MyHeritage. These advances help us find farflung relatives.
What can we expect tomorrow? What new equipment or software to help us connect with family members around the world?
While not all research can be done at home - glued to a computer monitor - in our pajamas and bunny slippers, every day more resources are online, making it easier.
More organizations with important archives understand that records and resources are more useful if more people can access them. Scanning and digitizing projects and website data collections are increasing, for free or for paid access.
Topping the list are expanding digitizing projects, better retrieval and search techniques, more mobile services, social media and next-generation web technologies, along with improved data collection and cataloging.
Innovation is the lifeblood of genealogy. Most genealogical conferences address the future, offering demonstrations of new equipment, software, techniques and tools, new projects and trends. Do you wonder what's coming next?
How about a single device, incorporating a handheld mobile device, touch screen, built-in camera, scanner, wifi, Google Map, Google Search, Image Search, all-in-one, on a small transparent screen.
Point it at a building and retrieve its history; see what businesses are on each floor. Point it at a house, retrieve its history, architect and builder, owners through the years. Visit a cemetery and learn all about it, see a burial plot plan with GPS locations and locate an ancestor's grave.
Would you believe a flat, flexible phone with similar functions that can be worn like a bracelet? It could do everything a PDA or phone can do, but right on your wrist?
For a larger version, visualize a flat digital wallet tablet with a pen and a touch screen? This would also combine a flexible portable display, personal reader, an ebook reader. Roll it up and put it in your pocket until needed again.
This is an exciting time to be a genealogist! What are your predictions for the future?
I'm looking forward to reading your comments.

St. Charles Parish government recently hired two new administrators. Ronald Perry is the new emergency director, and Buddy Boe of LaPlace is the new chief administrative officer.
Perry is the director of the Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, a 24/7 operation that plans for, monitors and organizes response to emergencies, both natural and man-made. With 30 years experience in the emergency planning and management field, Perry previously worked for Entergy's Waterford 3 nuclear plant, where he served as emergency planning coordinator since 1982. He holds a master's degree from Pennsylvania State University and is a Certified Environmental Manager through the program at Louisiana State University.
Perry is also a member of the St. Charles Industrial Mutual Aid group, a critical organization with regard to emergency response in St. Charles Parish.
"I am deeply humbled by this opportunity to serve the people of St. Charles Parish as their emergency preparedness director," Perry said. "At the same time, I am honored to be joining a department that is widely recognized in emergency management circles as one of the finest in the country."
Scott Whelchel of Luling previously filled the emergency preparedness post.
Boe takes over the position from retiring Tim Vial. Boe most recently worked as president of his own strategic planning and public relations consulting firm, Invictus Solutions. He also served as acting chief administrative officer and communications director for St. John the Baptist Parish from 2007- 2010. He oversaw the parish's operating budget; coordinated state and federal funding requests; and served on the Regional Planning Commission, GNO Inc. and South Central Planning and Development Commission. Boe is a member of the GNOInc NexGen Council, a Young Member of the World Trade Center and a board member of the St. John United Way.
Boe has a bachelor's degree from Tulane University, is a FEMA certified Public Information Officer and is currently obtaining his certification as a Louisiana Economic Developer.
"As someone who has worked in both the public and private sector, I look forward to working with the Parish President St. Pierre, the administration and the Parish Council on the many projects and initiatives currently underway to improve the quality of life in St. Charles Parish," Boe said.
Boe said he and his wife, Courtney, are looking forward to becoming St. Charles Parish residents.

Texas Tech Unveils Ugly New Hoops Unis
March 12th, 2013| by Lost Lettermen
We're normally an objective website with no stake in college teams' fortunes.
But for the sake of fans' eyes, we hope that Texas Tech is eliminated from this week's Big 12 basketball tournament as early as possible.
During their 71-69 loss to Texas on Saturday, the Red Raiders sported new Under Armour uniforms that it appears they will also wear for the conference tournament, starting on Wednesday against West Virginia. To call them "ugly" would be a disservice to the world "ugly."
The red and black shoulders set against black and white torso portion of the jersey make the threads resemble a WNBA uniform. As if that wasn't bad enough, Under Armour has taken a page out of Nike's book and gone with a logo uniform look that's about three sizes too small.
It's been a rough season for Texas Tech basketball. They endured a 10–19 regular season and had to sport multiple ugly uniforms.
It's only fitting that would go out with such a lack of style. Grade: F

Drivers... start your engines! Martinsville-Henry County, Virginia is home to
a variety of motorsports including short track, motocross and dirt track but when you hear the name Martinsville, you think about NASCAR racing!
Martinsville Speedway is NASCAR's oldest and shortest track. The track is legendary for it's Famous Martinsville Speedway Hot Dog and for the many records that drivers accomplished there. Two NASCAR Sprint Cup and Truck Series races are held at Martinsville Speedway each spring and fall and an annual Late Model Stock Car Race is held each fall.
The track is open daily for free self-guided walking tours and you can contact the MHC Visitor Center for information on how your Group Tour can enjoy a thrilling bus ride around the track!
Continue exploring! NASCAR fans and car buffs of all ages will enjoy taking free guided tours of Arrington Performance, home of shopHEMI.com, where their skilled staff manufacture engines and parts for race teams as well as HEMIs and performance parts for your own personal vehicle. Motorsport fans can also visit Lake Sugar Tree Motorsport Park for motocross and stadiumcross action throughout the year.
"Forget high-definition television on a 55-inch screen, Martinsville racing is an in-your-face, up-your-base thrill ride. You can hear the tires squeal, feel the impact when drivers slam into the wall, and taste the smoke when engines detonate. Just watching the controlled chaos among crewmen during pit stops is worth the price of admission." - Allen Gregory, Bristol Herald Courier
"If you think NASCAR isn't as authentic as it was 25 years ago and you haven't been to the paperclip, start making your travel arrangements now. Your thoughts will be a lot different when you're walking back to your car." - Nick Bromberg, From The Marbles

Preview: Fflur Dafydd
In her short stead in Iowa City, Fflur Dafydd has already made some pretty impressive rounds: a reading at Prairie Lights, a reading at Shambaugh House, and a performance at The Mill. For once saying the girl gets around is a compliment. Granted, as a writer in residence with Iowa's International Writing Program, Dafydd is afforded more opportunities than a mere tourist to make waves and be involved in public events. And she's not done making her presence known. The novelist, critic, lecturer, singer/songwriter is slated for an in-studio appearance with yours truly on KRUI this evening from 5-6 pm and then a show at Public Space ONE with other literary minded troubadours.
Dafydd's recorded output vacillates between the pop-genius sheen of Steely Dan and the jazzy finger picked styles of John Mayer. Look for folk swing to figure heavily in her set, cause her band is in Wales (guys, maybe you want to be critically acclaimed writers and you can travel with her).
Alex Dezen, currently taking part of in Iowa's oft-lauded Writers' Workshop and formerly the singer/songwriter behind The Damnwells is also on board. Nerissa Campbell joins Dafydd again after co-headlining the show at The Mill last week. Correction: Maryssa Handler another Writers' Workshopper is on the bill. And because that just isn't enough, Lauren Haldeman of Coyote Blood and her accordion are going to make some rustic noise. I'm feeling a sudden eruption of "Let The Circle Be Unbroken" at this show (might have to teach that one to Fflur).
Download: The Damnwells – Dandelion
Who: Fflur Dafydd w. Nerissa Campbell Maryssa Handler, Alex Dezen, and Laura Haldeman
Where: Public Space ONE
When: Tonight (9.21)
Doors: 9 pm
Cover: $2 suggested donation.
Don't forget, if you're not much of a night owl, or Mom wants you in bed before 9, you can catch Fflur Dafydd on KRUI for music and conversation from 5-6 pm this evening. That's 89.7 on your FM dial or navigate that browser this-a-way, to get it streaming.

You are probably aware of the W3C note "Units in MathML" http://www.w3.org/TR/mathml-units/ This takes the route of assigning URLs to all the concepts. The publishing industry (and perhaps other printing/manufacturing industries) have two particular requirements that may not be obvious. These are: 1) Most people use metric, some quaint countries use imperial, and some other countries may have their own native measures (such as the Japanese Q?). So rather than issues of absolute precision in measurements, it is needed to have some system of units in which allows exact inter-conversions: i.e. converting between inches and cm repeatedly will cause any accumulated round-off errors. (TeX, Adobe and Microsoft all have their own versions of these. These are standardized in ISO PDF and ISO OOXML, and I think ISO ODF uses Adobe's system.) 2) Some interfaces allow users to enter numbers like 1/3". So the metrical base described above has to cope with exact representations of these as well. i.e. what base is required so that integer multiples yield 1", 1cm, 1/8"i, 1/8cm, i/3", 1/3cm precisely? If you are wanting an exhaustive list of metrical units, include 2 different kinds of cubits, ISO10744 HyTime had such a thing. This standard is no longer current, but still may be a good reference.

Gallery to host Earl Mills' art
CHARLES TOWN - The Old Opera House is pleased to present the work of photographer Earl D. Mills in the Jean Heiler Gallery at the theater through the run of the play,"Hallelujah Girls," Feb. 10 through 19.
For Earl Mills, photography has always been an interest, hobby and profession throughout the last 35 years. He attended a number of college and technical photography courses but for the most part is self-taught. While working for The National Geographic Society, he studied various techniques and disciplines of the photographers working there while striving to perfect his own unique blend of photography and art.
The results reflect the struggles and triumphs that America has weathered, from the commonplace to the legendary.
Each photograph Mills takes is uniquely crafted to resonate on an artistic and emotional levels. With no preset conditions, every photograph takes on its own unique style, the end result being what Mills defines as "Photographic Art." He strives to make the artwork reflect the simplicity and innocence of earlier times, or perhaps how we would like for them to have been. All prints are produced on a wide format Epson Pro printer using Epson UltraChrome K3 ink. The media is professional, acid-free paper, canvas or fine art paper depending on the desired presentation.
For more information, call 304-754-4420 or email the Opera House at email@example.com.

The Bedford Community Health Foundation chose an unusual format for its annual awards event.
It was a gala, held at the Elks National Home, with suggested attire consisting of black tie and tuxedo coats combined with blue jeans. It also included what Health Foundation members say is a historic event — Michael Cross wearing blue jeans. Cross, the foundation's director of development, does not like jeans.
The city of Bedford has awarded a contract for the extension of the 460 West water line. The hope is that the project will spur commercial development in the revenue sharing zone west of the city.
The winning bid for the project was $316,000 by George E. Jones and Sons. The bids had ranged from that winning bid up to $423,000.
City Manager Charles Kolakowski said developers like to know that the utility service is in place prior to committing to a project.
Eddie Lotts is excited about this year's Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) shamrock fundraiser. Lotts is manager of the Apple Market in Bedford.
The annual fundraiser generated money to send youth with muscular dystrophy to a summer camp. The camp is specifically for children with this problem. This means that everything is geared toward accommodating their needs and, as Lotts points out, nobody is going to make fun of anybody.
The Bedford County Planning Commission gave a reluctant thumbs up to a private sewage plant near Smith Mountain Lake.
The plant would be built by ACS Design, of Roanoke, for John Buday, a developer. The plant would serve a 275-residential unit subdivision. The 98-acre property is located on Harbor Heights Road, off Smith Mountain Lake Parkway.
The project at Otter River Elementary School that raised $1,642.59 for relief efforts in Haiti was the brain child of a student.
While the General Assembly continues to work through its budget process, Bedford County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Douglas Schuch said there are some positive signs being considered that could make the budget shortfall a bit less painful.
On Thursday, faces were put onto the dollars of the budget.
County Administrator Kathleen Guzi gave county supervisors what she termed the worst case scenario at a budget work session Monday evening.
Guzi said that budget requests from county departments, that don't depend on state funds, are down an average of 9 percent from last year. This still leaves the supervisors with a $1.4 million hole to plug. Guzi said that she will present options for plugging that hole when she presents a budget to them at a 5 p.m. work session on March 8.
The public had a chance to sound off on the proposed school budget for 2010-2011 last Thursday night. Unfortunately not everyone who wanted to speak got that opportunity.
The effect of closing schools
As a parent whose children attend Body Camp Elementary School and as a resident of Bedford County, I feel the need to make the residents of Bedford County aware of the effects of closing small schools in rural areas. I am originally from Logan County, W.Va., and I have seen first-hand the devastation that this can leave behind. If you think that because your children do not attend Body Camp or Thaxton Elementary, which are slated to for closure, that this will not affect you – think again!

Centocor Ortho Biotech reported positive data from a Phase III Remicade (infliximab) trial evaluating the anti-TNF-alpha drug in the treatment of pediatric patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis. A BLA for use of Remicade in this indication was submitted to FDA in December 2010.
The open-label Phase III study evaluated the efficacy of a three-dose Remicade infusion regimen in terms of safety and clinical response in 60 patients aged 6–17 years who had previously failed to respond to or tolerate treatment with 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, corticosteroids, and/or 5-aminosalicylate. Participants received three doses of Remicade over six weeks. At week eight, 73.3% of treated patients achieved clinical response, measured by the Mayo score, and 40% of patients were in clinical remission. 68.3% of patients achieved mucosal healing at week eight.
Forty-five patients achieving a clinical response at week eight were then randomized to continue receiving Remicade every eight weeks for 46 weeks, or every 12 weeks for 42 weeks. At week 54, 38.1% of patients in the cohort receiving Remicade every eight weeks achieved remission according to the pediatric UC Activity Index, compared with 18.2% of those who received the drug every 12 weeks. These results did not represent statistical significance due to the small sample sizes, however.
Remicade received FDA clearance for treating adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis in 2005, and the following year was approved for maintaining clinical remission and mucosal healing in adult patients. The drug is now approved in various markets for a range of conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, and psoriasis. Centocor claims the drug was the first anti-TNF treatment to be approved for separate indications in gastroenterology, rheumatology, and dermatology.

- Who can find a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies
- She looketh well to the ways of her household...
My mom and I were out bright and early Saturday morning, headed to one of our local churches annual Women's Bazaar. We were after homegrown honey--a little birdie had told us that there would be a booth there with our new favorite "brand" of honey. Of course while we there we browsed the other booths, one of which had flea market/garage sale items for sale.
My first find was this hurricane glass--$.10! The picture makes it look like it's bigger on one end than the other, but it's actually symmetrical. And then I spotted this "fake silver" as I call it, chrome serving tray for $.50. By this time my hands were full, so I turned a blind eye to everything else, except the honey, of course!
I can't wait to use these in my holiday decorating!
What thrifty finds have you made lately?
Until next time...
