"Don't buy Russian Gas!" "Don't Buy Russian Gas!"
Drivers looking to fill their tanks at the Lukoil gas station near 12th and Erie streets just outside the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City today were met by a group protesting Russia's invasion of Crimea. Lukoil is a Russian owned company.
Alexander Semeniv, 47, of Jersey City, carried a sign that read "Stop Putin's Fascism in Ukraine, Don't Buy Lukoil." Vladimir Putin is Russia's president.
"We're here to support the Ukraine," said Semeniv. "We intend on hurting Lukoil's business. The money they make is for Putin's war."
A referendum is being held today in Crimea on whether the region should join Russia or become an independent state. Ukrainian officials, as well as US leaders, have said that Crimea on its own decide to secede from the Ukraine.
A lot of us are members of Sts. Peter and Paul Ukrainian Roman Catholic Church on Bentley Avenue," said Semeniv. "This isn't the only protest happening."
Semeniv said Ukrainians from Jersey City and local areas traveled to Philadelphia and Brooklyn to protest the Russian owned gas station.
Drivers showed their solidarity by honking their car horns, and even a few customers decided to go to another gas station.
An attendant at Lukoil declined to comment.
"We will be here for as long as Russia is in the Ukraine," said Semeniv. "Our first day protesting was yesterday."
The protesters included Volodymyr Tsikhovskyy, 47, Olga Mytseylo, 54, Volodymyr Grubyak, 44, and Mykhail Vintouyuik.
Tsikhovskyy said anyone interested in joining the protest can contact him at email@example.com.

A majority of your hometown date took place at the funeral home. Weren't you worried you'd creep him out?
I thought I might as well lay my cards out on the table. This is my job. This is what I grew up around and if he wants to get down on his knee and propose, he should see what I do. It's the final test almost to see if he could handle it.
Your family took your willingness to move to Austin for Brad badly.
I always thought I would stay in Chico and take over the business so it's never been brought up. It was a shock to my family ... They were hesitant because everything came at them at once – me saying I'm in love, I might be leaving this lifestyle we have in Chico, moving out of state. But Brad's from Austin and wants his wife to be there. I was falling in love so I was willing to move.
Besides being concerned that he'd take you away from them, what did your family think of Brad?
My mom thought he was a doll. They really liked Brad and could tell I was in love and happy and I haven't been in a long time.
You said you were shocked to be let go. What went wrong?
He and I didn't have a lot of time at the end when I told him I was in love. It was like minutes [before] he left. I thought I'd have more time to explore what he thought about me moving, saying I love him, the funeral home. Unfortunately, he wasn't feeling the same. I have no regrets telling him I was in love. I put myself out there and am very comfortable telling people how I feel.
Did your dad's reaction to your possibly moving influence Brad's decision?
It had a big role. He saw my dad was having a hard time allowing this. He did give his blessing, but I think Brad felt uncomfortable.
Have you been able to move on or are you still pining for Brad?
I compare this to someone who has lost a loved one because we go through the same stages of denial. With losing Brad, I allowed myself to get angry, to start bargaining and wonder, "Gosh could I have done something different?" I allowed myself to go through the stages in a healthy way and I'm not in love with him anymore.
Having seen the other dates, do you feel better about his decision?
I thought Ashley H. was going home. I knew that she hadn't told him that she was falling in love, and I had. It was a shock that he'd let a girl go who was in love and willing to leave her life. But my personal opinion is that he is in love with Emily and has been for a while. Emily's everything he wants. He wants to be a father to her child. She wants to get married and have more kids.
You seem eager to fall in love. Is it hard to find the right guy because of your job?
Being a funeral director has challenged my love life a lot. When I go on a date with a guy and we start talking about what we do, it's a step back when I start talking about the funeral industry. It's like, "Okay, wow, that's different."

LISBON - Three Cleveland brothers who have been under the eye of the Columbiana County Drug Task Force appeared by video arraignment in county Municipal Court on Monday on drug-related charges.
DTF Director Brian McLaughlin said the department had a search warrant for the home and vehicle of Anthony "Rob" L. Jackson, 26, Allen "Keith" C. Jackson, 21, and Tremaine "T" A. Jackson, 24.
On Saturday, the three men were stopped by authorities in front of Gorby's Groceries in Negley. Agents reportedly found guns, cash, heroin and marijuana in the three men's possession.
McLaughlin said additional charges are pending against the three men for the items found in their possession on Saturday.
For the time being, the three are each being charged with trafficking in drugs from alleged previous dealings with undercover agents from the DTF last summer.
A Feb. 3 preliminary hearing was set for each of the brothers. Bond was set at $250,000 cash/surety each.
According to court documents, those charges stem from the three men allegedly selling heroin and crack cocaine out of a home on state Route 518 in Wayne Township. Undercover agents reportedly purchased one or the other of the drugs from Allen Jackson on July 17, Anthony Jackson on July 18 and Tremaine Jackson on July 22.
McLaughlin said the three were known to be "flipping houses" in Columbiana County. Following the purchases, agents continued to watch the men, leading to their apprehension on Saturday night in Negley.

With Cam Cameron running the Tigers' offense, quarterback recruiting has seen a major boost over the past few seasons. It was apparent this weekend as many of the top passers in the class of 2016 from around the country worked with one of the best in Cameron.
The Tigers already have a commitment from one in Crawford, Fla. native Feleipe Franks, who took to the field in what was an impressive showing.
Franks is an extremely long and impressive looking prospect. His arm strength was evident on many of his deep throws and he even showed an ability to take something off his throws when necessary. While many view him as a dual-threat quarterback that is capable of beating you with both his arm and legs, that didn't appear to be the case as he appears to be more of a pocket-passer capable of moving around well in the pocket.
His accuracy was good for the most part as he dropped a few really nice deep balls. He had mixed results 15 yards and in and his elongated delivery will have to be shortened over time time, but that is something he has plenty of as he has yet to play his junior season of high school football.
Franks wasn't the only premier prospect, however, as the state of Louisiana has produced its own group of impressive gunslingers.
Calvary-Baptist trigger-man Shea Patterson took to the fields after receiving an offer last week from the Tigers. After reeling off some impressive test scores (4.63, 40-yard dash, 4.22 short shuttle) the Arizona commitment calmed down for the second session after an amped up first session caused him to be a hair more inconsistent than normal during the early part of the day. During 7-on-7's he often showed the ability to understand defensive weaknesses often releasing the ball to an open receiver before he was out of his breaks. He was easily the most impressive during drills that tested one's athleticism and looked the part of a young, top-flight quarterback. Patterson didn't take part in the early morning workout session on Saturday before lacing them up in the afternoon.
The state's top quarterback prospect for 2014 was Parkway's Brandon Harris and the Panthers have another big-time prospect set to take snaps for the next two seasons in 2016 quarterback Keondre Wudtee. At 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, he has a great frame and throws a beautiful ball. He has more than your typical back-up quarterback's experience as Parkway was often up by a large margin at halftime, so there aren't as many questions about his game as one may think. His accuracy is above average, but his delivery is somewhat elongated as well and he didn't seem as comfortable reading defenses in 7-on-7 action as Franks or Patterson.
West Monroe's Jon Randall Belton made the trip to Baton Rouge as well. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound prospect is recovering from a knee injury, but decided to put in some work. His arm strength is certainly there and despite the injury, his throwing mechanics look improved from where he was prior to sustaining it. He is viewed by some as a "system guy" that is ideally suited for a team that runs a lot of zone-read utilizing his running ability. He has a lot of time to round out his game as a passer, which would take him to that next level of recruiting.
The Tigers are pressed to find quarterbacks for the future and Justin McMillan is looking like the next one to join sophomore Anthony Jennings and freshman Brandon Harris. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound left-handed quarterback from Cedar Hills, Texas impressed staffers during the first prospect camp in June and did much of the same this weekend. He is an accurate, cerebral, prospect that should fit in nicely down the road. His ball placement was good and he did a good job spreading it around in 7-on-7 action.
Cass Technical passer Jayru Campbell made the trip south from Detroit, Mich. The 2015 prospect fared well throughout drills and during 7-on-7 action. He isn't on the same level as the aforementioned 2016 prospects, but he is a sure fire Division I talent. The Tigers have a 2015 commitment from Cedar Hills, Texas passer Justin McMillan so it remains unlikely the Tigers will pursue Campbell much beyond this point, but he could become a potential recruit if the Tigers were to lose McMillan. He has decent accuracy and slightly above average arm strength and appeared to be fairly athletic.
James Smith previously worked as a talent evaluator for Elite Scouting and Max Emfinger and has served on the selection committees of various high school All-American games. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504.826.3405.

Expenditures for USDA's food assistance programs have grown from $1.6 billion in fiscal year 1970 to a record $46 billion in fiscal 2004. Most of this increase is due to the Food Stamp Program, which has accounted for an annual average of 60 percent of total food assistance expenditures during this time period. While expenditures for WIC and the school meals programs have trended upward over time, expenditures for the Food Stamp Program have fluctuated more widely. Historically, participation in the Food Stamp Program has risen during recessionary periods and fallen during periods of economic growth.

The New Orleans Saints, struggling to keep a battery of cornerbacks healthy each week, signed Quincy Butler to the roster Wednesday after placing veteran Randall Gay on injured reserve.
Butler, a 3rd-year man out of TCU, spent time with the Cowboys and the Rams the last three seasons. Coach Sean Payton said the 6-foot-1, 188-pound defender has "good size, good range, good ball skills," and impressed coaches during a workout about a week and a half ago.
Butler's signing became necessary with not only Gay's placement on IR but also the ongoing health issues with starting cornerbacks Tracy Porter and Jabari Greer. Porter remains out after hurting a knee three weeks ago, while Greer injured his right shoulder last Sunday against the Buccaneers. Greer said after the game he was fine and Payton held out hope he could play this Sunday against Cleveland, but Greer did not practice Wednesday.
With those three out, the Saints had only first round draft choice Patrick Robinson and Leigh Torrence listed as cornerbacks on their 53-man roster, although safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Usama Young have played cornerback in the past.

Blogger Bob has become a magician!
Yesterday afternoon a new thread appeared on the TSA Blog announcing the public comment period on whole-body imaging (WBI) — the nude scanners — which public comment period we wrote about here. I believe it had a link to the announcement in the Federal Register. I know that two comments had been posted at The TSA Blog post when I first read it.
Then last night when I went back to see if further comments had been allowed, lo and behold, the entire post had disappeared.
So let me get this straight: the TSA is finally, after almost two years, complying with a court order to open a public comment period on the nude body scanners. This public comment period has been publicized. The TSA Blog exists ostensibly to inform the public. Yet after posting a public-informing entry for a few hours, The TSA Blog removes it. Poof!
Perhaps Blogger Bob should consider a new career.
Will The TSA Blog publish a new post on the public comment period? Will it be reworded? Made more palatable to the powers-that-be? Have a new PR spin? Stay tuned.
In the meantime, readers of The TSA Blog have noticed and are piping up. A few comments left at The TSA Blog at another, unrelated post, calling Blogger Bob to task:
Anonymous said…
Where's the blog post about DHS & TSA accepting public comments about the "AIT" (nude-o-scope) scanners?
Adrian said…
Is there any plan to announce on this blog that the TSA has finally (more than 18 months after being ordered to by a judge) begun the notice of rulemaking and public comment procedure the law required of the TSA before putting the whole-body imaging devices into service as a primary means of screening?
The notice is in the Federal Register here: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/03/26/2013-07023/passenger-screening-using-advanced-imaging-technology
And one of the ways for the public to provide comments is to fill out this form: http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=TSA-2013-0004-0001
This should rate a front-page post soon.
RB said…
The TSA blog had a short post about the comment period for WBI as ordered by a federal court up on 4/4/13. Where did it go?
I also added my voice to the chorus:

April 24, 2014 - Harry Eagar
RtO is completely unsurprised to learn that this month's darling of the Tea Party is a full-blown antiblack racist.
Lest we forget last quarter's Tea Party antiblack racist, Phil Robertson.
And all the others before them.
The New York Times report is restrained. And misleading, as it seems to show that Republican opinion is uniformly disapproving of Cliven Bundy's racism. Snark site Wonkette has a more complete picture, with links to rightwing talking heads who think Bundy is right on.
Actually, this is one of those situations that call for nuance. After the knee-jerk rightwingers (I'm looking at you, Dana Loesch) leapt to Bundy's defense, at least one (Loesch again) then bethought herself to listen to what the man had said.
She finds herself appalled. Imagine that.
Really, I cannot imagine that, because what Bundy said was exactly what Robertson said, and Robertson's defenders are still with him (they show up on my Facebook feed from time to time).
And here I had thought that the Jon Stewart-Sean Hannity angle was the funniest political skit of the year.

When a friend and I looked through the Primal Blueprint Cookbook and saw the recipe for the spinach bread we said, pizza.
The recipe is also here on the site:
Ours came out looking more spinachy and green, Which I think is better for pizza crust. The ingredients are the same though. We made sure not to whip in too much air when we scrambled the eggs.
So we set about making a quadruple batch of the batter with +1 egg per and slapping it all together. (plus 1 egg over book recipe which is 5. same as website recipe)
Our quadruple batch made 3 10.5" pizza crusts that I prebaked for 10min @ 350F. We pulled each out of the pan, topped them and grilled them on a pizza stone in the gas grill for about another 10 minutes at good and hot :-)
I put up a picasa album here with a few pictures:
We were all very happy with the results, 4 of us ate well and we still had a pizza leftover that I put in the freezer for another day.
Let me know what you think!
I like it. Thanks, will try this soon.
Wait, I'm a little confused by the math...could you break down the ingredient list for one good-sized crust?

RENO - To win basketball games on the road, you have to play defense, and that's exactly what the Carson High boys did Tuesday night.
The Senators put the defensive clamps on Reno throughout the game, and Rafe King and Matt Nolan supplied half of the scoring, to lead Carson to a season-opening 52-41 win.
King, who played well despite a sore ankle, led Carson with 15 points and Nolan added 11. The duo accounted for 50 percent of Carson's scoring.
"Anytime you can get a league win on the road it's big," Carson coach Carlos Mendeguia said. "Our defense played really hard and really well. Defense won us this game."
Reno was an ice cold, 9-for-38 unofficially, from the field. No one player had more than three field goals in the contest. Reno was held without a field goal the last 4 minutes 54 seconds of the opening half.
The Senators outscored the Huskies 8-3 in that stretch for a 24-13 lead after the first 16 minutes. King, who finished with 15 points, had 10 of those in the first half. Nolan had seven of his 11 in the opening half.
Reno was hurt by the fact that Connor Bush missed the bulk of the first half after picking up two charging fouls on his first two drives to the basket. Mendeguia said that was critical because so much of what the Huskies like to do goes through Bush, who is better known for his baseball talents.
King injured his ankle last Friday, and Mendeguia said that it would be game-time decision on whether his top scorer would play or not. King didn't appear to be favoring the injury at all.
"I thought I would be out for at least a week," King said. "It got better after one day. It was really swollen and I just iced it all day, and the swelling came down.
"It's great anytime you get a win."
This one was a little tougher than it should have been. The Senators got a little sloppy and did little more than trade baskets with the Huskies for the first five minutes of the third quarter.
Bush scored on back-to-back possessions to chop the lead to 33-24 with 5:07 remaining. But Carson responded with a bank shot by Alan Cohen, a trey from the right corner, a free throw by Sage Smith and two free throws by Nolan boosted Carson to a 17-point lead, 43-26, after three periods. Reno went 0-for-3 from the field and turned the ball over once in that span.
"We were trading baskets for a while in that third quarter, and then we got a few stops," King said. "That gave us a huge lead and some insurance going into the fourth quarter."
The Huskies had one more run left in them, and 2 minutes and 14 seconds into the final quarter, they had trimmed Carson's lead to 43-34. Bradley Cladianos drained three free throws to start the surge and Garrett Hampson ended it when he banked in a 3-pointer from the top of the key, forcing Mendeguia to call a time out in frustration.
As King came into the huddle he said, "We're OK. We're OK."
"We got complacent," Mendeguia said. "They extended their zone and we started settling for shots. We stopped cutting."
Carson scored five straight points - a free throw by Kyle Steele and layups by Cohen and Chris Lopez - to get the lead back to double-digits at 48-34. Reno never got any closer than 11 points in the final two-plus minutes of the contest.
Carson returns to action Thursday when it travels to Winnemucca for the Lowry Tournament at the Winnemucca Events Center. Carson is scheduled to play two games on Thursday, one on Friday and one on Saturday.

James Dean Waite (born April 15, 1969) is a Canadian professional ice hockey coach and former goaltender.[1] He currently serves as the goaltending coach for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Playing career[edit]
Born in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Waite was one of the highest-rated goalies in the late 1980s and many scouts believed he had the potential to become a star.[citation needed] He was named the best goaltender at the 1988 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships and was also named to the tournament all-star team as Canada won the gold medal. He was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1987 NHL Entry Draft; the Blackhawks were already deep in goal with both Ed Belfour and Dominik Hašek (although Hasek could not come to North America without defecting at the time).[2] While Waite received the bulk of the starts in the backup role to Belfour for Chicago, with Hasek playing just 25 games in 2 seasons, Waite did not exhibit strong skills and was later sent to the San Jose Sharks, and eventually the Phoenix Coyotes.[3] After 2001, Waite played the rest of his career in Germany, playing six years for ERC Ingolstadt in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga[4] and signed in January 2010 for Nürnberg Ice Tigers.[5]

DOHA: Showing solidarity with the people of Gaza, Katara (The Cultural Village Foundation) and Aspire Zone Restaurants yesterday announced that they will donate a day's income (24 July) to the people of Gaza.
Joining the noble initiative, the employees of Katara, Katara Hospitality and Aspire Zone announced that they will also donate one day's salary for the people of Gaza suffering from Israeli aggression.
Dr Khaled bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti (pictured), Director General of Katara, said this noble initiative comes "from our belief in the cause of Palestinians and the miserable situation they are facing due to the Israeli aggression which has created a serious humanitarian crisis'. "We in Katara feel that it is our social responsibility to support the needy people in different parts of the world, which is encouraged by our Arab culture and Islamic religion.
"We feel that we are committed as Qataris to humanitarian support to the people and this is the minimum we can do for them in such a situation. I call upon the people of Katara to take part in this campaign by which we can at least restore smile on the faces of children and help the people of Gaza to rebuild their destroyed lives. We are trying to be a bridge between different cultures and nations and we are taking part in this charitable initiative to support needy people when they face difficult situation".
Khaled Al Sulaiteen, Director General of Aspire Zone, said all Aspire zone restaurant employees are keen to take part in this charitable initiative. "Whether it is commercial or profitable activities, it cannot be free of humanitarian, social and moral commitments. Therefore we are taking part in the efforts of different Qatari entities to support people of Gaza," he said.
The owners and workers of the restaurants said that it is their duty to support the Palestinians who are facing Israeli aggression. They urged their customers to take part in this initiative on Thursday. Katara in its Twitter handle urged their customers by a tweet that says "Help us Release Gaza. Raise money in support of Gaza Strip by dining in Katara and Aspire Zone restaurants on this Thursday 24th July".
Katara and Aspire Zone, which has 446 employees from different nationalities and religions, have a number of international brands of restaurants such as Zafran Indian Restaurant, Khan Farukh Egyption Restarant and others.

It's hard to say just where Billy Vera went wrong.
It might have been that name—Vera—taken from a childhood girlfriend. "It sounded like a rock 'n' roll name to me," shrugs Billy. Or maybe the rumpled image Billy projects. "I've tried to spiff him up a little, but to no avail," sighs a PR man from his record company. "It's like he gets his trousers out of a time machine." Most likely it has something to do with Billy's attitude toward music. Yield to fads? "I'd rather open a deli," he says.
Whatever the reason, Billy has had a dry spell between hits. Twenty years dry. Dry enough to make him jump when a producer from TV's Family Ties approached him in L.A.'s At My Place after hearing 42-year-old Billy sing one of his old songs. Michael J. Fox's Family Ties character, Alex, was going to fall in love in a future episode, and Vera's At This Moment might provide the perfect piano-and-teardrops background music, said the producer. Billy readily agreed, then ran to Rhino Records, a small Santa Monica-based company, and asked them to reissue the six-year-old recording. "You might get lucky," he said.
They did. Vera's love ballad was eventually used on three Family Ties broadcasts, generated 9,000 phone calls from viewers and by the end of January had become the No. 1 single in the U.S. It has also pulled its accompanying album, By Request: The Best of Billy Vera & the Beaters, into the Top 20. "There's no payola on this record; it only did what it did because people heard it on the air," says Billy of his hit. "That's what makes it all the sweeter."
That and, of course, the long drought that preceded it. Vera's dreams of rock 'n' roll stardom began in his teens in New York's Westchester County. His father, William McCord, was a game-show announcer for NBC-TV, his mother, Ann, a former backup singer for Ray Charles and Perry Como. As a would-be songwriter, Billy Jr. had his first success at 16, when Ozzie Nelson chose a song he had penned, Mean Old World, and gave it to his son Ricky to record. ("I was a little mad at first," says Vera. "I had written the song with Dionne Warwick in mind.") Then in 1967 Vera had a hit of his own with Storybook Children, a duet he recorded with Warwick's cousin, Judy Clay. He followed a year later with another popular single, Country Girl-City Man—then dropped off the charts and into his wilderness years.
Vera joined the oldies circuit as musical conductor for the Shirelles and Ronettes, took up acting—and kept cutting records. By 1985 he was almost $500,000 in debt, thanks to salary advances from Warner Bros., where he spent four years (1979-1983) as a contract songwriter, and from the production costs of his failed LPs.
Vera's sudden turnaround has allowed him to start paying back some of those bills and to buy the $156,000 Hollywood cottage that he now shares with his collection of 35,000 records. Soon new fans will be able to see him in Blind Date, a feature film starring his pal (and sometime harmonica accompanist) Bruce Willis, and to hear him on a second "new" six-year-old single, I Can Take Care of Myself. Figures Billy: "The trick now is to get another hit. If I make three of four bombs in a row, or maybe one or two, then it's back to the clubs for Billy."
You Won't Catch Pop Veteran Billy Vera Sneering at a Hit Song—at Least Not at This Moment

Rumoured to be casual: In 2011 industry analyst Arvind Bhatia described Activision Blizzard's line-up of games slated to release throughout the next few years, calling Project Titan an upcoming "casual MMO".
What this means: If Titan is being designed as a casual title this runs in line with World of Warcraft's current trajectory. The Mists of Pandaria expansion has already carved out WoW's future as a mainstream crowd-pleaser and it wouldn't be out of place if Titan followed with a similar tone.
However like Paul Sams, WoW's executive producer Frank Pearce has already confirmed both games should be able to co-exist, which might suggest they are aimed at either different sub-sects of the casual audience, or entirely different audiences altogether.
He told Destructoid:
"We're not trying to replace World of Warcraft. We think that World of Warcraft can continue co-existing with our new MMO and some people might prefer the new one, some people might still prefer to play World of Warcraft.
"We think you can go in different directions and still have a great massively multiplayer experience and we want to sort of experiment with what that might look like."
Just how different these directions will be is still unclear.
It's going to have a sci-fi slant: And be near-future, post-apocalyptic and historical says WoW's game director Jeffrey Kaplan, who's been established as working on Titan.
What this means: Based on a series of very similarly styled art pieces taken from the official portfolios of artists confirmed on the game, we might be looking at a vaguely steampunk MMO from Blizzard. It's unclear whether the similarities are merely coincidence but it follows in line with Kaplan's "near future but historical" statement.
It's Slated for 2013: A leaked product slate of Blizzard's development plans places Project Titan's release date as Q4 of 2013.
What this means: While there was never any official word from Blizzard HQ verifying the product slate, games and expansions have so far followed in line with the schedule, implying some level of accuracy behind it.
The schedule also show's WoW's fifth expansion will be released during the same quarter, once again suggesting Blizzard isn't worried about splitting the fanbase between two games.
Alongside this is confirmation from Blizzard's Paul Sams who stated Gamasutra the MMO would be released sometime after Diablo III.

Although it's been out for a while, there is still time to comment on the Government Green Paper on Giving. Comments must be in by 9th March, and as one of the big themes is Technology, we are going to have our say. The paper can be downloaded at www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/ and includes details on how to respond and contribute to the debate.
However much this paper tries to claim an altruistic set of motives, at the end one is left with one abiding impression - this is all about saving money. Yes, this is the wolf of the deficit agenda in sheep's clothing of 'The Big Society'. You could argue the Government is doing its best to cut out the middle man, by finding ways to get the taxpayer to fund services without the cost of public administration. In fact, the Government wants us to find those ways by ourselves based on its suggestions. However, the Paper rightly asserts that technology holds at least part of the key to promoting growth in the giving of time and money, so whether it is doing it for the right reasons or not, as NFP technology specialists, we at Advanced NFP have an opinion on its ideas.
The key technology ideas referred to in the Paper are, click-to-give sites such as EveryClick, further promotion of event based giving sites such as Justgiving and VirginMoneyGiving, ATM giving, mobile, websites like Givey that act as clearing houses for volunteer time as well as money, websites that encourage discerning gifts such as IntelligentGiving, and so on. There is plenty of discussion of the role of Social Media, online Causes, and microfinancing.
It seems though that while the authors have trawled a lot of sites for ideas, and spoken to a lot of people, they have ever tried their own hands at raising money for charity. Fundraisers know the key to success lies in building long term relationships with donors and getting them to be involved in the cause. In contrast, many of these technology driven ideas rely on chance opportunity – at your ATM or while filing in your tax return, and the superficial relationships that arise from online encounters. Anyone with school age children will know that their Facebook communities thrive far more impressively than our adult ones because they see most of their online community every day in the corridor.
There is no doubt that mobile will play an increasingly important role, and Advanced clients are already using both SMS text donations and mobile 'Apps' to gather funds from donors on the move. Again, the donation gathered on the move should never be seen as an end in itself. The key here is to add that to the sum of knowledge about each donor in the core donor database, so as to optimise future donations by both mobile and offline channels. SMS campaigns have shown that as many as 20% of text donors will offer to Gift Aid their donations, which gives the charity the address of the donor and an opportunity to develop the relationship.
The paper makes much of the statistic that almost half the total donated comes from less than 10% of the population. Increasing the number of people making small adhoc donations will do nothing to change this statistic unless they are turned from occasional to regular givers. One way to do this is to interact with donors through as many channels as possible , online and offline, locally and nationally, through events, corporate tie-ups, product sales and raffles, and the only technology that really supports this strategy is the Customer Relationship Management database.
Of course, new technologies and online participation vehicles have a huge role to play in helping to increase the overall level of giving, and maybe this Green Paper doesn't mention CRM databases for fear that the Big Society sounds too much like Big Brother, but they must still remain at the heart of any IT driven strategy to increase giving.

I've been working at the RSPB as a wildlife adviser since October 2005. I have been a keen naturalist all of my life with a particular interest in birds, insects and animal behaviour. I have a background in Environmental Biology and Environmental Impact Assessment and regularly contribute to bird surveys. Other interests I have include wildlife gardening and birding as well as keeping track with important issues such as climate change and renewable energy.
Sent in by Colin Burdon, Ashington
This is a popular question and one that may have a number of different answers, depending on how you interpret the different modes of birds' flight.
Peregrines use a specific flying technique when hunting - the 'stoop'. They fly high above their prey and close their wings, going into a downwards dive. Their aerodynamic shape means they reach such a speed that their target is often stunned or killed outright.
A 'stooping' peregrine is undoubtedly the fastest flying bird, reaching speeds of up 200 mph. However, the stoop is gravity-assisted - more of a controlled fall - and is generally not considered as level flight (where they reach 40 mph).
Many swift species reach high speeds during their display flights. A study published earlier this year recorded the swift's flight in these displays as reaching 69.3 mph (Heningsson, 2010).
As these speeds were reached in level and ascending flight you could argue that they are the new holders of the title.
However, their normal flight such as during migration or going to roost was recorded between 22 and 26 mph. If you compare the swift's normal flight speeds with level flight speeds of some other birds, they may struggle to keep up with some of the powerhouses of the avian world.
Surprisingly, the humble eider is thought by many to be the fastest bird in steady level flight. It is difficult to record the steady flight of many species but of those that have been reliably clocked, the eider comes out on top with an impressive 47.2 mph.
How does it achieve such speed? Well the eider duck has an impressive physical claim as well. They have the smallest wing area relative to body size, also known as the highest wing loading.
Because of this high weight-to-wing area ratio, speed is vital to the eider in order to produce enough lift to keep the weight in motion. To achieve this they have very strong wing muscles. These come in handy in the eider's natural coastal environment, as it has to fly in very windy conditions. You can see this amazing species along the east coast of Scotland and Northern England.
Of the other contenders to this title, pigeons, waders and other wildfowl are all capable of hitting speeds over 40 mph. As more sophisticated technology becomes available it is possible that more accurate analysis of the flight speeds of birds will be possible, so other contenders may emerge in the near future.

"Now I know how white people in America feel. Relaxed." - comedian Richard Pryor on his visit to Africa.
Richard Pryor is my favorite. You know that if you've talked to me more than a few minutes. Or read my columns. As many references as I've made to Pryor, I've kept myself from making that many more. That's how insightful I think his comedy was. Yes, he was profane, as were the titles of some of his comedy albums. There's "That Nigger's Crazy" from 1974 and "Bicentennial Nigger" in 1976. That one ends with the title character giving a self-deprecating, shucking and jiving, politically-barbed chronicle of American history.
It's art of the highest caliber, forcing us to look at ourselves in ways we hadn't before. Pryor was so successful, I think, because he let us in on his honest attempts to understand himself. Take "Live on the Sunset Strip" where Pryor recounts an experience in Africa. A voice commands him to look around. "Do you see any niggers?" A meek Pryor answers no. The voice: "Do you know why? Because there aren't any."
"I been wrong," he says on stage. "I been wrong ... I ain't never gon' call another black man nigger."
I think it's important where Pryor was when he had his epiphany. Responding to the voice, Pryor says he's been in Africa for three weeks and, "I haven't even said it. I haven't even THOUGHT it."
How does a man who would say that word just as soon as good morning come to a place - not in his mind, but on the planet - where the word evaporates from his thinking?
Conversations about the use of the so-called n-word today are almost exclusively about what a shame it is that black people continue to use it, but I think the greater shame is that we live in a place where it's easy for us to think of ourselves that way, a place where it so easily rolls off our tongues.
The NFL is proposing to penalize a team 15 yards when one of its players uses that word, and, as I expressed in an earlier piece this week, I'm bracing myself for the absurdity of a white official whistling a black man for using a word with a black man who may not find the usage offensive. Does that mean I'm arguing black people have a right to use the word or that I'm arguing that we ought to use it? I don't think so. I'm simply saying that black people use it, and I think we ought to move past the what and consider the why. What is it about the black American experience that leads black Americans to use that word? More importantly, what is it about that experience that allows us to think it?
Comedian Dave Chappelle, with 2003's "Chappelle's Show," became one of the most popular people on cable. A brilliant student of comedy, Chappelle would certainly know Pryor's whole body of work. But Chappelle's liberal use of that epithet suggested he wasn't moved by Pryor's "Sunset Strip" contrition. Chappelle doubled down on that word, used it to comic effect in skit after skit. Then he quit. He quit the entire show. He quit though Comedy Central was reportedly offering him $50 million.
"I would go to work on the show, and I felt awful every day," he told Oprah Winfrey. "I felt like some kind of prostitute or something. If I feel so bad, why keep on showing up to this place? I'm going to Africa."
So maybe Pryor's routine had resonated.
I won't say it's impossible, but I think it's unlikely that black people can exist in a society that consistently tells them they're less than and think of themselves positively. To be raised black in this country is to receive a steady drumbeat of messages that you're dumb, dangerous, unmanageable and unlovable. As we've seen recently with Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, to be black here sometimes means arguing for your very right to exist.
The problems in Africa are manifold, but a black American there may find himself relaxed in ways he couldn't imagine in the States. I didn't realize how complete my relaxation had been until I was passing through Frankfurt, Germany, on a return trip from Nairobi, Kenya. A passport official who had let a dozen or more white passengers walk past him, put his hand in my chest and demanded documentation. "I'm back," I thought, even though I still had a whole ocean to cross.
You want black people to stop using that word. That's cool. I want black people to live in a world where their experiences won't let them think it.

Peru, as an emerging economy and a country sharing many objectives and values with the EU, is a key partner in Latin America.
Relations with Peru cover political dialogue, trade and development cooperation. Over recent years, the EU and Peru, driven by the shared ambition to further strengthen ties, expanded their cooperation across a broad range of policies: human rights, drugs, social policy, climate change and research and innovation, as well as regional and cross-border development.
Political and policy dialogue is based on the Rome Declaration with a Memorandum of Understanding from 2009 implemented through high-level political meetings held annually and complemented by sectoral dialogue meetings at expert level in the areas of human rights, drugs, industrial policy, SMEs and innovation, as well as climate change. The last high-level political dialogue took place in Brussels in November 2015.
Peru is one of the fastest growing economies in Latin America. The EU is Peru's third trade partner after the US and China and the largest foreign investor with about 50% of the total. Peru is key to the EU as a member of the Pacific Alliance (together with Chile, Colombia and Mexico) and as a signatory of the Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement (TTP).
In June 2012, the EU signed an ambitious and comprehensive Trade Agreement with Peru (and Colombia) which has been provisionally applied since 1st March 2013 (awaiting ratification by all EU Member States). The agreement will open up markets into a free trade area, thus boosting trade and investment. It will bring tariff savings of more than €500 million as well as an improved and more stable environment for trade and investment.
As an upper middle-income country, Peru in principle no longer qualifies for bilateral development cooperation, but in view of continuing inequality, Peru will receive €66 million over 2014 - 2017 under a phase-out programme. The Multi-Annual Indicative Programme [285 KB] seeks to consolidate the results achieved in previous cooperation programmes focusing on inclusive regional development and support to trade and SME development. Under the 2007-2013 cooperation programme Peru has received €135 million. The main policies supported by the EU are the reduction of child malnutrition in remote and poorer areas (€60.8 million) with impressive results (a reduction from 23.3% in 2010 to 14.1% in 2014), the fight against illegal drugs (€32.21 million) and the promotion of alternative development and ecological trade.
Peru participates actively in all EU-Latin America regional and thematic programmes and benefits from the Partnership Instrument to support EU and Peruvian priorities in the field of human rights, education, innovation, environment and climate change and the fight against drugs.
The visa waiver agreement will grant Peruvian citizens visa-free travel to the EU Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days. The visa waiver will considerably ease citizen mobility between the two historically and culturally connected continents and should boost business trade.
President Humala visited the EU Institutions in June 2012 and addressed the European Parliament. He also attended the EU-CELAC Summit in Brussels in June 2015.
On the political horizon, the next key date will be the Presidential elections in April 2016. At the last Presidential elections, in June 2011, following an invitation from the Peruvian Government and the electoral authorities, the European Union deployed an EU Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) to observe the second round of the Presidential elections.

UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State has spent most of its men's basketball existence being a year away.
But maybe, just maybe, it is this time.
The Nittany Lions closed their regular season by beating No. 18 Indiana, 68-64, in overtime Sunday at the Jordan Center.
Minus their two top players in injured forwards Geary Claxton and Jamelle Cornley,
the Lions won their fifth straight home game and did so by starting four freshmen.
Sunday's win over an Indiana team that itself seems shaky squared Penn State at 15-15 and seeded seventh heading
into the Big Ten Tournament. A win there over 10th-seeded Illinois could make the Lions a candidate for a postseason tournament — either their favorite, the NIT, or the new CBI.
"We'd welcome that," Lion coach Ed DeChellis said.
There have been too many years when Penn State was happy to go to the NIT; in fact, it has to be one of the few schools from a major conference that hangs its third-place NIT finishes from the rafters.
But this is one season in which the program could benefit from a couple of extra games against decent opponents.
"Hopefully we can get some energy going into the conference tournament," DeChellis said.
Penn State definitely got that energy Sunday. Without their top options for the past three years, the Lions led most of the first half and hung around long enough to force overtime after IU left the door open in the last minute.
"I think everyone was telling them we couldn't beat Indiana," DeChellis said of his players. "I told them I thought we could."
The Lions picked up on that will, which helped overcome a frigid backcourt performance from Talor Battle and Stanley Pringle, who combined to miss 23-of-27 shots, including 13-of-16 from 3-point range.
But if Battle and Pringle couldn't shoot straight, they still helped harass Hoosier freshman Eric Gordon into an 8-for-24 day. And they got the ball enough to a frontline of redshirt freshmen D.J. Jackson and Andrew Jones along with true frosh Jeff Brooks.
The trio combined to make 14-of-25 shots and held their own inside against Indiana's D.J. White.
"I knew I had to be more aggressive," Brooks said.
Each returns for 2008-09, but Battle, whose work also helped the Lions deck No. 8 Michigan State, isn't ready to start thinking too far ahead.
"Never mind next year," he said. "We have the Big Ten Tournament. I hate to look to next year because we have so much season left."
DeChellis knows many thought his program would be further along through five years. He's lugging a 57-91 record and woeful Big Ten winning percentage, and he's been smacked around on the road by the league's heavyweights.
Penn State isn't deep enough to overcome losses to its starters — and frankly may never be — so it clings to what ifs, and this year, they may be legitimate.
"I think if we had Geary and [Cornley] healthy all year, we're right in the thick of things [for the Big Ten title]," DeChellis said. "We hope to get another player or two this spring."
Some pieces are clearly in place. The Lions are getting tough at home, and with the parts the Lions have returning, plus Cornley, the NCAA Tournament should be the goal for '09.
Just like it was for '08.

Obama's a Great Unknown for Rural Health
Will President-elect Barack Obama be a plus or a minus for rural healthcare?
Medical economist and healthcare "futurist" Jeff Bauer says it's hard to say because the president-elect and product of Chicago doesn't have a history on the issue in his few years in the U.S. Senate.
"I'm not aware that Barack Obama brings any particular expertise or personal ties to rural health with him to the White House. Nothing about Obama tells me anything about what his policies towards rural health will be. He has simply not been seen as a leader in that area like (Sen.) Max Baucus (D-MT)," says Bauer, a consultant and futures practice leader for ACS Healthcare Solutions. "There are a number of members of Congress, you tell me their names and I know where they're going. I know their policies on rural health clinics or money for critical-access hospitals. Obama doesn't bring that level of identification with any rural healthcare policy."
That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just an unknown. It's not like the president-elect will be "anti-rural health." But the emphasis on funding public health policy in tight budget years might be shifted to other areas, like increasing physician reimbursements or expanding medical schools, rather than specifically toward rural health.
Rather than guessing the future actions of a president-elect with no discernable track record in the area of rural health, Bauer says Obama's possible actions in the rural health arena can be more accurately predicted by examining the people he appoints to key public health positions. "I'm a firm believer that people make as much of a difference as budgets and policies. I'm hearing names of people with strong commitments to HHS and CMS, where the future of rural healthcare will be very much decided," Bauer says.
There have been widespread media reports that former U.S. Sen. Tom Daschle of South Dakota has been leading the Obama transition team's healthcare policy component and will likely be offered a key appointment. There is even talk in some circles of making the former Senate majority leader a "healthcare czar," although it's not really clear what that means. At deadline for this column, high ranking Democrats were saying Daschle had been tapped to lead HHS.
"Barack Obama is going to turn to Tom Daschle for something very significant, whether it's HHS or secretary of education," Bauer says. "If it's Daschle, he authored many of the bills that gave money to rural hospitals and clinics, and he is a pro-rural as they come."
Rural healthcare can also expect continued backing from the powerful Senate Finance Committee chaired by Baucus with ranking member Chuck Grassley, R-IA.
Rural health will need all the friends it can get, Bauer says, because the biggest factor will not be who's in the White House, but the state of the economy. Federal tax dollars will be scarce at least for the next year or two, and the fight for funding is expected to be fierce. "This issue will always come back to the economy and whether there is money to maintain critical-access programs or money to get serious about supporting information infrastructure technology development," Bauer says. "That is going to be really tough in the current budget environment."

From: "Robert A. Kelly III" ------------------------------------------------------ When programmatically generating LaTeX from other sources, how do you deal with some of the unique features of LaTeX, such as distinguishing inter-word and inter-sentence spacing, and hyphen-minus versus en dash and em dash? E.G.- LaTeX typically uses a larger space between sentences than between words, so we indicate when a period does not indicate the end of a sentence by writing, "Fruits, vegetables, etc.\ are on sale today." and since initials are assumed not to end a sentence we write, "He was staying in apartment B\@." when it does. Similarly, in writing plain text it is common to use a hyphen-minus for a variety of things that actually have different representations in good formal typography. Ranges of numbers, for instance, are properly written with an en dash, so in LaTeX we write, "1982--2013" rather than, "1982-2013". Some of these things seem like they would not be easy to determine programmatically what is the appropriate representation (which is probably why LaTeX requires explicit indications for some of these things while it does other things, such as typographical ligatures, automatically). For instance, just because a hyphen-minus comes between two numbers does not mean it should be an en dash. Telephone numbers are commonly separated by a hyphen, never an en dash. Of course, depending on context, a number like 457-1024 could be a phone number, or a range of numbers, etc. It seems to me that many of these things could be solved by using unicode with proper characters for various dashes, accented characters, etc in whatever source we are processing and then using XeTeX. However, this still wouldn't solve some things, like the difference in spacing between words and sentences. What are the usual or recommended ways of handling this? I'm sure it is something that has been addressed before as I have heard many times of LaTeX being generated programmatically to generate PDF reports, by Emacs calendar and org-mode, etc.

I use a Rake file with tasks to build and clean the generated files. I also use Guard to watch the file I'm working on, which automatically builds the TeX file using the rake tasks for me as I save. If I have a PDF viewer open to the PDF while I save, it'll update, which is cool. I think there's an editor in MacTeX that will do a side-by-side preview with your code and the output, but not "watch" it. Is there an editor that does what I'm doing?

I have been formulating several letters to the editor.
One would offer my enlightened insight into concerns over the new law regarding the use of cellphones while driving. Another was (also, of course, enlightened) about the ongoing gun control arguments, and yet another was about drivers exiting at high speed southbound at the Interstate 27 Hillside exit at Western Street (this one less enlightened and pretty ornery).
And then I read (the Feb. 10) Amarillo Globe News.
First, I saw the article about the Castle Rock, Colo., police department's decision to have officers stop in school parking lots to fill out routine paperwork between calls. This visibility is having a positive effect on students, who have the reassurance of seeing the officers — and seeing them in a friendly, nondramatic, non-crisis situation. It isn't adding cost or effort to the police department's activities.
Then I read Jon Mark Beilue's column (Beilue: Kind acts greater than their cost, Feb. 9, amarillo.com) about the folks who remembered the sad and tragic loss of Jack Rhodes by performing random acts of kindness throughout Amarillo on what would have been Jack's 17th birthday.
I am thankful for these people in the public and private sectors who can make such enormous contributions to society.
I no longer feel the need to write the aforementioned letters.
Things will work out.
Well, maybe not the Hillside exit thing.

Every month you change the filter on your furnace. Every 3,000 miles you get the oil changed on your car. Every six months you (hopefully) visit your dentist for a cleaning. Maintenance is important. It's key to keeping you, your home, or your auto running smoothly.
Your business is no different. The office copy machine is serviced after a predetermined number of copies, and when your color printer signals a service code, you put in a call for service. But what about your emergency response plan? Your safety team already has devoted a considerable amount of time meeting regularly and putting together a well-thought out emergency response plan. Do you know where this plan is located?
