Santa Barbara County Public Health Officials released the following information Wednesday:
A student at Santa Maria High School has been diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB).
The family, Santa Maria Joint Union School District and Santa Barbara County Public Health Department are working together to assure the ill student receives treatment and that others are screened to rule out TB infection or disease. Tuberculosis can be cured with medication.
The Public Health Department is conducting an investigation related to the ill student to identify individuals who have had close contact and may have been exposed to TB. Close contacts are tested to assure they are free of TB infection and disease.
The testing and assessment process includes skin or blood testing and potentially chest x-rays. Individuals who test positive with TB infection as a result of exposure are given medication to prevent active TB.
The goal of a contact investigation is to identify and treat active TB infection and disease as a measure for preventing the spread of the disease.
In addition to addressing the specific concerns related to this case, the School District and the Public Health Department are also interested in increasing awareness of the signs and symptoms of TB and how to prevent the disease.
A public meeting is scheduled for any member of the public who is interested in learning more about TB and the interventions being taken at Santa Maria High School.
The meeting will be held Friday from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Santa Maria High School cafeteria.

Very good way for very young children to experience music making.
Very boring way for everyone else to experience music making.
Bottom Line
Guitar Hero it's not, but the bright colors, fun control style, cheery music, and abundance of instruments makes Wii Music a natural choice for very young gamers.
Wii Music has a lot to offer the preschool set. The game lets you play a variety of simulated instruments using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, and the way you move the controls will determine what notes you play and how the song sounds. Every instrument has a different control style. For children who are too young to pick up Dad's guitar (think 3 or 4 years old), this is a fun way to learn about different instruments and songs, as well as musical ideas like rhythm and timing. The game has the standard-issue Wii whimsy (Wiimsy?), employing bright animations and fun sounds to keep kids engaged. I'm giving it 3.5 stars for the under-5 crowd, but would advise everyone else to save your $50.

|Ways to help reduce waste during holidays
As the holiday season begins, so does the accompanying celebrating, buying and wrapping. Did you know that an extra million tons of waste is generated nationwide each week between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day? Fortunately, there is a lot you can do to reduce the amount of waste during and after the holiday season.
Headed out to the shopping mall or grocery store for some holiday shopping? Over the holidays, thousands of paper and plastic shopping bags end up in landfills. Instead of accepting a new bag at each store, take along reusable shopping bags to help reduce the number of single-use, disposable bags distributed by retailers. Tell store clerks you don't need a bag for small or oversized purchases.
Reusable shopping bags are available for purchase at many grocery stores and other retail locations.
When buying gifts, check product labels to determine an item's recyclability and whether the product and the packaging are made from recycled materials. Send recycled-content greeting cards to reduce the amount of virgin paper used during the holidays. If you use traditional gift wrapping, avoid wrapping gifts in materials that are not recyclable or reusable, such as foil or metallic papers. Buy recycled-content wrapping paper – this purchasing choice encourages manufacturers to make more recycled‐content products available. Be sure to recycle packaging, wrapping paper, cards, holiday‐themed catalogs and advertisements, and anything else that is recyclable.
Cancel catalogs you don't need. Food waste, household hazardous waste (such as batteries), and electronics should be properly disposed of as well.
Unless specifically noted in the following sections, please visit the resources at the end of the article for recycling and disposal options for the listed items as well as many others. Thanks to Sonoma and Mendocino counties, there are many opportunities available to properly and easily dispose of your waste.
• Composting: You can compost your food scraps from your holiday dinners and parties. Fruits, vegetables, peels and seeds can be composted at home. In fact, about 35 percent of residential garbage is food waste, a resource that could be used instead of sent to the landfill. In Sonoma County, fruit and veggie food scraps can be put in the curbside yard debris cart for the municipal composting program (www.recyclenow.org/compost/curbside.asp).
• Cooking oil: Recycle the cooking oil if you deep-fry a turkey. There are locations in both Sonoma County and Mendocino counties that accept clean strained cooking oil to be made into biodiesel.
• Wrapping paper and ribbon: Paper makes up about 19 percent of what's going into our home-generated garbage. Holiday paper, cards, envelopes and cardboard packaging can be recycled, along with other year‐round paper items, such as catalogs and magazines, in your single‐stream curbside recycling cart. Foil‐backed, metallic, and plastic wrapping paper cannot be recycled. Save ribbon to reuse on next year's packages.
• Packaging: If you accumulate packing peanuts and bubble wrap over the holidays, many local packaging stores and mail centers are glad to accept these items for reuse.
• Christmas trees: Christmas trees can be recycled into compost and mulch. Think twice before purchasing a "flocked" tree – sprayed-on artificial snow can be made from environmentally harmful components and hinder the ability to recycle a Christmas tree. Before recycling, your tree must be free of flocking, tinsel, decorations and its stand. For pick‐up and drop‐off options after the holidays, go to www.recyclenow.org/recycling/tree.asp.
• Electronics: There are many options for the proper disposal of both working and non-working electronics. Under a state mandate, electronics cannot be put in the garbage. An electronic device is anything with a circuit board. Look for devices with digital displays or programmable features. Examples include computers, TVs, laptops, printers, answering machines, CD and DVD players, stereos and cell phones.
Many of the stores where you buy your new electronics will take your old ones back from you and get them to a responsible recycler, even if the old item wasn't purchased there. When you're shopping for that TV or computer, ask the sales staff if they will take back your old electronics.
If your item is working and can be reused, consider donation.
Many local charities operate thrift stores and are always looking for donated items.
Many of these organizations also accept both working and non-working electronics. In some areas, small electronic devices can be disposed of in the curbside recycling.
You can also recycle your old cell phones. State law requires that retailers selling cell phones take back used cell phones at time of purchase. For a complete list of services for your area in Sonoma County go to www.recyclenow.org/toxics/electronics.asp.
• Batteries: About 40 percent of all battery sales occur during the holiday season. Batteries should not be placed in the trash. Buy rechargeable batteries to accompany your electronic gifts and consider giving a battery charger as well. Rechargeable batteries reduce the amount of potentially harmful materials thrown away and can save money in the long run. By law, retailers selling rechargeable batteries are required to take back used rechargeable batteries from their customers. For a list of these retailers, visit the Call2Recycle website at www.call2recycle.org.
Some stores offer take‐back for alkaline batteries, in addition to rechargeable batteries. All kinds of household batteries can also be disposed of through Sonoma County's Household Toxics Program and the Mendocino County HazMobile Program.
• Holiday lights: Brighten your holidays while saving money with LED lights. LED's use 75 percent less energy than conventional holiday lights and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent lighting. They also offer convenient features like dimming and automatic shut-off.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
A team from NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center reports that it has figured out why statins work for some people but not for all. Consequently, the researchers believe that their findings also explain why some people on statins are protected against colorectal cancer.
The study is published in the May issue of Cancer Prevention Research. The research team also included scientists from the University of Michigan Medical School, University of Barcelona, NCI, and the Israel Institute of Technology.
The researchers set out to test their hypothesis that people who don't respond well to the cholesterol-lowering ability of statins also do not benefit from the recently documented protective effects of statins against colorectal cancer. They believed that the difference was in genetic variations that led to a different response to the drug.
They genotyped 40 candidate genes known to be important for synthesis and metabolism of cholesterol in participants of a case-control colorectal cancer study in northern Israel. Included in the 40 genes were six SNPs within the HMGCR gene, which produces a critical enzyme involved in formation of cholesterol. The study's co-lead author, Steven M. Lipkin, M.D., Ph.D., believes that most statins on the market work by binding to the HMGCR protein.
The study involved 1,780 colon cancer patients and 1,863 people who did not have colorectal cancer. Many of the participants, who were predominantly Caucasian, had used either simvastatin or pravastatin for a long time.
The scientists initially found one SNP within HMGCR that was associated with statin protection against colorectal cancer. A follow-up pharmacogenetic analysis showed that the protective association was significantly stronger among individuals with what they dubbed the "A" SNP allele compared with people who had a "T" variant. The stronger colorectal cancer protection came from individuals with the A/A HMGCR genotype compared with those with the T/T genotype. Individuals with an A/T genotype had intermediate protection against colorectal cancer, with levels varying between that seen for A/A and T/T genotypes.
The investigators then tested, in laboratory colorectal cancer cells, why the T allele might not work well with statins. They found that the protein produced by this HMGCR gene variant does not bind on the statin like the A allele does due to alternative splicing.
"Carriers of the A allele express more of the full-length protein that binds statins and are therefore more sensitive to statins and are more likely to experience the colorectal cancer risk reduction associated with long-term use," explains Dr. Lipkin. "That is especially true if a person has two A alleles.
"Carriers of the T allele are less sensitive to statins because they are missing part of the protein that binds to statins. A protective effect against colorectal cancer development is largely absent from people who have two T alleles.
"Together, these studies provide strong evidence that these two alleles play an important role in modulation of HMGCR activity for colorectal risk reduction," Dr. Lipkin says. "We anticipate that genotyping for these alleles in patients may help identify those who are most likely to benefit from statins and spare others who will not respond from any side effects of the drugs."

NEUROGENOMICS · Mouse data could help researchers understand mysteries inside the human head
"Google for gene activity patterns in the brain" was how Genentech's Mark Tessier-Lavigne, chairman of the Allen Institute's scientific advisory board, described the initiative. "It will enable the user to identify all the nerve cells in which a gene is active, and vice versa, for each nerve cell, identify what the complement of active genes is. It will enable users to do more readily what they're already doing on a gene-by-gene basis."
Tessier-Lavigne, a world authority on neuronal migration, also noted that "having all the information in one place for 20,000 or so genes makes it possible to mine the data, to identify correlations, and make discoveries of novel markers or therapeutic targets in brain regions of interest."
Using in situ hybridization, the AIBS researchers and collaborators have produced expression data for 2,000 mouse genes so far, in a series of ultrathin 25-micron brain tissue sections. In aggregate, these produce a 3-D representation of the expression data for thousands of genes. The data, and tools required to analyze them, can be found at www.brainatlas.org.
With the Atlas data being made publicly available, the project will help scientists further research into the development and function of the human brain, which should greatly benefit studies of neurodegenerative disease, addiction disorders, depression, memory, mood, and behavior.
Some genes are already providing extraordinary markers of the "essential building blocks of the brain," said Ed Lein, AIBS director of neuroscience.
Caltech professor and Howard Hughes Medical Investigator David Anderson said it would take one person one to two weeks by hand to prepare and analyze the expression of one gene in 50 tissue sections. "For 2,000 genes, that would take a single person 77 years, and for all genes, about 770 years!"

Albert Einstein once said: "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."
Einstein knew then what we all know now; this is the sole problem with politics of our generation.
The people running our country and those wanting to be elected have no intentions of changing anything.
A person can go to Washington and in four years be a millionaire. They can get a lucrative book deal with the liberal agents or climb into bed with CNN, ABC or NBC. Nowhere has political corruption and media biased been so obvious since John F. Kennedy ran in 1960. We need someone with real values and a godly heart to run this country - someone who is not selfish, self-centered or self-serving!
Who is it? Not Obama, Clinton or McCain!

"There's a definite problem statewide," said Chief Ken Wardstrom of the Woodinville Police Dept. "At any given time, over 260,000 people are driving with a suspended license in this state."
In response to this statewide problem, the City of Woodinville adopted Ordinance No. 262, which provides for vehicle impoundment when a person is identified driving with a suspended or revoked license. It was passed under consent by the City Council on May 15.
The City of Woodinville authorized the King County Sheriff's Office to act as agents in impounding vehicles if the driver is arrested for a violation of Driving While License Suspended (DWLS). If the violation is in the first or second degree, the vehicle will be impounded for thirty days. The person redeeming the vehicle will have to establish that he or she is the registered owner and that they have a valid driver's license.
The new policy imposes a $100 administrative fine; removes the suspended driver's vehicle from the streets for a longer period of time; insures compliance with Washington State laws; routes the DWLS driver to the courts; establishes a means for impounded vehicles to be insured while providing an appeal process for impounds; and considers spousal hardship.
Despite the existence of criminal penalties for driving with a suspended license, an estimated 75% of these drivers continue to drive anyway. Existing sanctions have not been sufficient to prevent these drivers from driving with a revoked license. Prior to the passage of Ordinance No. 262, the procedure for a DWLS arrest was to impound the vehicle, which was released immediately when the tow truck company was paid for the impound.
A person's license is revoked in the first degree if they have three or more convictions within a five-year period for a serious driving offense or commit 20 or more traffic infractions within a five-year period.
A license is revoked in the second degree when a driver is convicted of a felony in which a motor vehicle is used. A few of the reasons for a suspension in the second degree include: eluding, reckless driving, DUI, vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, racing, leaving children in an unattended vehicle, aiding, abetting, coercing another to commit a traffic offense, and refusing a breath or blood test when suspected of a DUI.
A license is suspended in the third degree when a person fails to respond, appear at, or pay a traffic infraction. Other reasons for a third degree suspension are: if the person was involved in a traffic accident without insurance; if their license is suspended in another state; if they failed to provide proof of alcohol or drug treatment as required by a court.
Suspended drivers pose a threat to the lives and property of Washington residents as they are more likely to be involved in traffic accidents, including fatal accidents. Vehicle impoundment will provide an immediate consequence and provide an appropriate measure of accountability for registered owners who routinely allow suspended drivers to drive their vehicles. The new policy adopted by the City adds a needed safety measure.

Only One-Fifth of Americans Are Aware They Purchased a Recalled Product
YONKERS, NY — A new Consumer Reports poll finds that only one-fifth of U.S. adults were aware of having purchased food, medication, or a product (other than a car) that was recalled in the past three years.
The nationally representative survey, conducted by Consumer Reports National Research Center found that half of Americans were not confident that manufacturers and retailers shared safety information with government agencies and two-fifths lacked confidence that manufacturers and retailers provided consumers with appropriate product recall information.
Full survey results appear in the February issue of Consumer Reports on sale January 4th. The reports are also available to subscribers of www.ConsumerReports.org.
Among the survey's other findings:
- Of the 20 percent of the population who believe they purchased a recalled product, nearly 40 percent responded that it was for food, almost 40 percent for a medication, and 24 percent for a product.
- Less than one quarter of Americans researched a product they purchased to see if it was recalled.
- More than half of Americans said they never or rarely filled out the registration cards that come with products.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), at least 124.7 million products were recalled last year and overall, recalled products were associated with 26 deaths. Tens of millions of children each year are needlessly exposed to unsafe products, toys, and foods that have been recalled.
"Time and time again we've seen incidents of recalled products including bassinets, window blind cords and toys, killing or injuring children," said Don Mays, senior director, product safety, Consumer Reports. "Among the most effective steps to protect yourself is to get your name on manufacturer's recall contact lists so that you can be notified when something you purchased is recalled. You can do that by mailing in product registration cards that come with many products or registering online. "
Many miss out
Regardless of their skepticism regarding the sources of safety information, a large majority of US adults felt that it was extremely important that consumers receive appropriate recall notices for medications and food. They appeared to be less concerned with notices connected to clothing and sporting equipment recalls. However, when it comes to recalls of children's sporting equipment, people were nearly as concerned that parents get accurate safety information, as they were for children's food and medication recalls.
While only 20 percent of US consumers were concerned that they personally missed a recall announcement in the past 3 years, some groups were more concerned than others. For example, concern appears to decrease with age. More than a quarter of 18 to 24 year old consumers were concerned they missed a product recall notice. This compares to less than a sixth of all consumers 65 years old and older. Parents of school and/or pre-school age children were also slightly more apt to be worried about missing such announcements than were other adults (26% vs. 19%).
Consumers were more likely to find out about product recalls from the news than any other source. Nearly two-thirds of those consumers who had experienced a recent food recall and a slight majority of those who purchased a recalled medication found out about the recall from a news report. Finding out about product recalls was somewhat more varied. While a plurality of those who purchased a recalled product were informed of the recall via the news, a sixth found out about the recall from the manufacturer and a little more than a tenth from family, friends or coworkers.
Recall Analysis
Consumer Reports analyzed all recalls publicly announced by the CPSC in its 2010 fiscal year which ran from October 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010. Other information was collected from the recalls database on the CPSC's website. Here are some highlights.
- Fisher-Price had the most recalls; five notices involved 11.38 million products. Various toys and high chairs were included.
- The largest single recall involved McDonald's Shrek-themed glasses with decals containing cadmium. Twelve million glasses were recalled.
- Items intended for children represented 73 percent of recalled products. There were 177 recalls of children's products amounting to 54.2 million items.
- Strangulation was the hazard most often associated with the recalled products. That danger was common to all recalls of corded window coverings and of children's outerwear with drawstrings.
The Consumer Reports Product Recalls survey is based on a nationally representative sample of American adults, conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. A total of 2,005 landline and cellular random digit dial (RDD) telephone interviews were completed among adults aged 18+. Interviewing took place between August 19 and August 29, 2010. The margin of error is +/- 2.6 points at a 95% confidence level.

Being 'unbanked'
September 28, 2012 - Harry Eagar
Congress, in its wisdom, has tasked the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to determine which Americans are "unbanked" and "underbanked," so that banks can better reach out and provide services to them. You would think, since 2008, that it would be more profitable to worry about serving the customers banks already have –just today, Bank of America agreed to pay a penalty of nearly $2,500,000,000 for misbehavior. But the rule was passed in 2005, when banks had not yet had their behavior exposed so much as they have lately.
The bankless are not entirely excluded from financial services (AFS, alternative financial services in wonkspeak). From the FDIC 2011 report:
AFS transaction products (i.e., non-bank money orders, non-bank check cashing, and non-bank remittances) are considerably more widely used than AFS credit products (i.e., payday loans, pawn shops, rent-to-own stores, and refund anticipation loans). In the last year, 23.3 percent of households used transaction AFS and 6.0 percent used AFS credit product.
That's percentages of all households, not just un- and underbanked.
As the report notes, those numbers understate the number of the bankless, because the survey was by household. If anyone in the household had a bank account, the whole family was considered "banked." It is easy to see who in multigenerational households, this results in an overcount.
No surprise, the segments of the population with less money, less reliable employment and less assets are less banked: All households 8.2% unbanked, 20.1% underbanked
Blacks 21.4% unbanked, 33.9 % underbanked
Foreign-born non-citizens 22.2% unbanked, 28.9% underbanked
Households experiencing unemployment 22.5% unbanked, 28.0% underbanked
The survey found that nearly 1 American in 4 did not have as much as $100 saved to deal with an emergency.
What the survey does not say, but which bankers know, is that of people who are banked, half account fo 1 50% of profits, and the other half produce losses. You can see why banks will be unenthusiastic about bulking up that second category with the heretofore unbanked.
Pawnshops, on the other hand, thrive on small deals. The National Pawnbrokers Association says that the average pawn loan is about $80.

The New Orleans Jazz Fest's schedule makers didn't waste time getting things cranked up at the Blues Tent on Friday morning, the first day of the fest's 41st edition.
The first two acts of the day showcased multigenerational blues stars, both of them homegrown and both of them crowd-pleasers.
Starting things off was Kipori Woods, the young New Orleans guitarist with the brilliant smile and who jokingly confessed to the Jazz Fest crowd that he first wanted to play the blues "because you get to wear a hat and a suit" - which, indeed, he wore.
Backed by the lyrically named Greasy Biscuit Blues Band, Woods - grandson of bluesman "Luscious" Lloyd Lambert -- showcased a touch of R&B influence on some of his songs, and touch of edge, too. ("Meet me, baby / Meet me with your black drawers on / If you don't wear your black drawers / don't wear no drawers at all.)
At one point mid-set, he paused to pluck away at the guitar with his teeth, Hendrix-style, drawing the biggest response from the audience to that point.
By the time his set ended, the few dozen empty seats in the Blues Tent began filling up in anticipation of a set by the Mississippi-born, New Orleans-honed elder statesman of the local blues scene, Little Freddie King - and this was before the day's rain sent crowds running for the tented stages.
Specializing in traditional Delta-style blues, King let loose with a down-and-dirty set that served as a perfect compliment to his neat-as-a-pin attire: red shirt to match his red guitar, oversized shades, white hat, a snakeskin coat (which he would shed halfway through the set) and a guitar strap mimicking crime-scene tape.
There was no playing-by-tooth, but there was some high-kicking and near-duck-walking that belied King's 70 years of age.
More prone to traditional, slow, anguished jams than Woods, he brought the crowd to its feet with his rendition of a song made famous "by a great friend of mine. He passed away and I miss. His name is John Lee Hooker."
By the time he wrapped up his version of "Boogie Chillen," the Blues Tent crowd rewarded him with a standing ovation.

I just installed dominos. I watched four youtube videos and looked at the wiki. I typed /dominos config and get a small dialog telling me to right click etc. I tried to find the dominos config by going to the interface for addons and domino does not show up at all.
I can't configure the addon with the limited options available from just mouse clicking. Did I miss something in the installation or is the lack of a config menu some kind of "improvement"?

PITTSBURGH - Maybe Mike Wallace can win a staredown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Maybe he can beat the 1-in-175,223,310 odds to win the Powerball, too.
The Steelers will open the regular season on Sept. 9 and start making piles of cash again. If Wallace continues his holdout, he'll be living off his savings.
Hard to imagine why Wallace thinks this is a good idea. Wounded pride shouldn't enter into business negotiations.
The Steelers have been here before. In 1988, they let Mike Merriweather sit out an entire season, then traded him. Merriweather lost a year of income in the prime of his career.
Wallace hadn't even been born when the Merriweather scenario unfolded. He probably doesn't know the history. The short version is the Steelers operate in a certain way. Exceptions are not made.
They'd love to have Wallace, but they'll survive without him. It could be that Wallace's holdout will force a trade, but the Steelers could just let him sit, too.
The Steelers have all the money and all the leverage.
Call to arms
If you were screaming, "But they need a bat" after the Pirates acquired Wandy Rodriguez, you have a point.
But they need pitching, too, and will need it beyond this season. Erik Bedard and Kevin Correia are on deals that expire after this season, so there's a need for reliable starting pitcher.
But the bigger issue is 2012, and they need help this year, too. The rotation fell apart late last year with four starters who couldn't finish the season on a regular schedule.
GM Neal Huntington got a reliable and durable left-handed starter while giving up none of the prizes in the minor league system. That makes it a good deal.
A bat would be nice, but will also be significantly more difficult to acquire.
Maybe the market will change in the hours leading up to the deadline, but that doesn't seem likely.

If you dont have experience the best tip i can give is to sign up with a site (no need to deposit for some) and just sit there and watch the cm at work...this will become very useful with a trial or a any application forms where you need to give an example on how you think a cm works.
Anyway the very best to you all. ~*~*~good luck*~*~*

I am experienced in CH jobs, but have been looking for a couple of years, and would really love to have another job like that I can do from home, as I just had a full hysterectomy, and have no income. Could you direct me as to who I would need to talk with at the site where you work? I know you don't know me but I am an honest person. I live in the United States, and would love to work again.
Carla Barnes
ok dont think im bein cheeky but how much do u roughy get for bein a cm? just theres nowhere online that tells you a rough estimate as im thinkin about doin it in spare time at nyt as ive got the kids through the day
I can only speak regarding one network, but hey it's got more than 20 sites....
The pay is lousey... under minimum wage
The holidays are lousey.... 1 week per year til you've been there half your life
Days off are lousey.... 1 per week, usually mid week, so forget your social life
Flexibility is lousey... you get fixed hours and have to work them unless it's your grannies funeral
The job itself is great fun! The company you're contracted to probably isn't
must be on bout any of the site like FOXY, GOSSIP and TASTY LOL all same network lousey hours, pay only £5.50 an hour, 1 day a week off no holiday leave for the first 12 months if u make it that long. if your internet goes down enjoy an ass kicking for your team leader if your ill say good bye to your job lol
It varies a lot. There are two types of CM work, voluntary or paid. A lot of CM's are volunteers, they do a few hours a week because they enjoy the atmosphere and the authority they have in the bingo rooms.
If you're interested in volunteering for a position contact us, we'll be opening a free bingo site very soon... Often CM volunteers benefit from the odd freebie here and there and theres quite of a good social life which comes with the job.
Generally, being a volunteer also means there is no serious committment. Some CM's are paid, these are usually the CM's who work for the larger bingo companies.
Tombola bingo are currently looking for CM's, the only snag is that you would have to live near the Sunderland area as they have regular training meetings. I believe their pay is between £5.00- £7.00/hour.
I hope this helps. As you would imagine, this sort of job is highly sought after and quite difficult to come by, after all, theres not many ways to can work from home and get paid!
Im interested in a job as a bingo steward.. Where would I find such a job? Do you think its a funny job for a guy to want!? Honestly.. Do would women consider a guy who works as a bingo steward to be a bit gay? Lol
P.s. is the place you mentioned looking for any bingo stewards?
i do not consider a man being a bingo steward to be gay all the women would love it, my old local gala bingo hall used to have lots of male bingo stewards ... so go for it have a look on line see if there are any vacant positions in your local hall but be quick this smoking ban seems to have driven people away from the halls and on to the bingo sites good luck
i know that foxy have male chat hosts and they def arnt classed as gay they are a great bunch
I am a women and met my husband in a bingo hall, he was the steward and i was the customer, so in answer to your question no women dont consider men to be a bit gay if they work in bingo hall, unless my husband is keeping something from me.....
What a funny thing for someone to ask!
Aw, thats a great story, meeting your husband whilst playing bingo! I suppose thats a great prize! lol

Martha's New Digs
Martha Stewart has a new house to decorate. The billionaire domestic doyenne is set to purchase an estate priced at more than $14.5-million in celebrity-filled Westchester County, reports the New York Post. Her next door neighbor will be designer Ralph Lauren, while others in the 'hood include Christopher and Dana Reeve, Glenn Close, author Michael Crichton and June Gumbel. The Clintons aren't that far away, either. The property Stewart is purchasing is said to encompass 137 acres, a 3,200-square-foot manor house (built in 1764), summer and winter homes, a guest cottage, numerous barns and a large swimming pool. (Stewart's publicist confirmed that Martha has no intention of leaving Westport, Conn., where Martha has been a longtime fixture. Stewart also has a home in the Hamptons, where she and her neighbor, real estate developer Harry Macklowe, have been feuding for years.) "Ralph Lauren and Martha Stewart," Mike Millius, a Westchester local, mused to the Post, "with all this good taste up here, I might have to iron my flannel shirts."

The Michigan State men's and women's club soccer teams claimed the NIRSA NCCS national championships this past month with the men winning in a shootout over Weber State and the women defeating UC Santa Barbara in overtime.
It was just the second time in history that the same school won the national title in both men's and women's soccer. In 2007, UC Santa Barbara won the double.
"It was really special for the guys and the girls on the teams because obviously they know each other pretty well," said men's head coach Scott Dane. "To celebrate something that both teams have worked really hard to accomplish together was something really special."
The men's team warmed-up on the sidelines during the women's final that saw the MSU women win in overtime from a goal by freshmen Maddie Lucci. Two hours later, the women's team celebrated with the men's team on the field following their penalty shootout victory.
"While we were very happy for them for winning, at the same time it motivated us," said Matt Kaminski, the men's team captain. "It helps both programs to be able to to be there and share in this experience together."
The women's team played five-time reigning champions University of California Santa Barbara in the final after a challenging road in the tournament. To reach the final they defeated Cal Poly, Colorado Gold, and Virginia in the knockout round.
"Six games in three days is a big challenge," said women's head coach Dan Jury, who is in his eighth season as head coach. "But credit to the depth of our team for being able to overcome that."
Although the Spartans were suffering from injuries and tired bodies, they were able to start strong against UC Santa Barbara, getting quality chances early in the match. Even though MSU dominated the first half, the score remained goalless heading into halftime.
"It was probably the most relaxing 0-0 championship game of a tournament I've ever been a part of," Jury said. "The girls were extremely confident and knew that it was a matter of time before we got a goal."
Within the first 10 minutes of the second half the Spartans were able to earn a goal from a header by Samantha Pace. But the Gauchos didn't make the travel from California without putting up a fight as they bounced back late in the second half to tie the game at 1-1.
"UCSB flipped it on us after we scored and went up 1-0," Jury said. "They took the game over and really dominated the last 20 minutes."
The Spartans were able to regain momentum in overtime, creating quality chances and pushing into UCSB's final third. Late in overtime MSU finally broke the tie and scored the golden goal. Senior captain Tracy Rymph held the ball in UCSB's half while her teammates made runs toward the box. She sent a ball in toward Lucci, who was able to dribble through multiple defenders for a clear shot on net.
"She shot the most perfect ball and spotted it right past the goalie," said Rymph. "I don't know how she did it, but it was amazing."
Lucci was named tournament MVP, just weeks after being named regional MVP for her lone goal against Michigan in the final.
"It's an indescribable feeling to win," said Rymph, who made the All-Tournament team. "This was just a whole other level."
Seniors Meghan Gorsuch, Katie Clarkin, and Samantha Pace also made the All-Tournament Team while Courtney Levy was named Most Outstanding Goalkeeper of the tournament.
Photo courtesy of MSU club soccerThe men experienced an equally exciting match when they faced off against the defending champions Weber State. They came into the game on a defensive roll, having escaped Georgia in the opening round in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw, they didn't allow a single goal in wins over Illinois (1-0) and Washington University of St. Louis (3-0). (Bracket)
"There was this quiet and calm confidence," said Scott Dane who finished his sixth season as head coach for the Spartans. "I certainly wouldn't call it arrogance, we'd never been in that position before and we didn't go in expecting to just roll over them."
The Spartans pressured Weber State throughout the match, out-shooting their opponents 13-6, but at ninety minutes neither team was able to crack the other's defense, and regulation ended in a scoreless draw.
After 15 minutes of overtime, with the score still at zeros, the Spartans would enter a shootout in their first finals appearance in school history.
"We had done really well against Georgia to advance the day before" said Dane, who also in charge of the Grand Ledge High School program. "I was confident in our shooters and we believe our goalkeeper will always make the saves for us."
Both schools scored on their opening kicks which included Matt Kaminski.
"I just really wanted to take time to enjoy it, so I took an extra couple seconds to look around," said Kaminski, who is a senior. "I wasn't necessarily as concerned about winning or losing because I had faith in my teammates, I just really wanted to enjoy it."
MSU goalkeeper Ryan Lovell was able to save Weber State's second shot with Tanner Higgins converting his second for the Spartans. Lovell made another save in Weber State's third attempt setting up Livonia's Maz Washko for a chance to secure the title.
"I think the guys were on a mission and they just felt that if they played their game, if they played well, if they worked hard enough that they would find success," Dane said.
Washko was able to easily slam the penalty kick past the Weber State goalkeeper to win the shootout and the national championship.
"When we walked out as national champions, I don't know if I have the words or going to have the words...it was an tremendous experience," Kaminski said.
Three Spartans (Max Washko, Eke Ofili, and Andrew Phinney) were named to the All-Tournament Team with awards going Ryan Lovell for Most Valuable Goalkeeper and Matt Kaminski for Most Valuable Player.
MSU Club Soccer is a student-run organization that allows non-scholarship students to compete athletically in organized and highly-skilled competitions. The teams are funded by the players themselves, along with contributions from parents and other community members.

Next game: at No. 22 Florida (4-2, 2-2), Saturday, 6 p.m., ESPNU (Clay Matvick, Herm Edwards and Chris Spielman)
One of the topics covered in today's MSU football notebook is the offensive line, which took a blow last week when senior center J.C. Brignone went down with a sprained knee. With the third-year starter unable to practice before Thursday – and it's no guarantee he'll be ready for action by then – the Bulldogs are having to shuffle things a bit up front.
Quentin Saulsberry is at center now, while Tobias Smith takes over at right guard. Line coach John Hevesy doesn't want to make things too complicated, though.
"Continuity is everything," he said. "To me, I'm not into playing 100 different guys, because they've got to get reps, and you talk about practices, they've just got to get reps. J.C.'s got to get reps with Tobias, and Addison (Lawrence has) got to get reps with those guys.
"Everything's a little different. It's a little bit different. You're used to a routine, here's how I've got a feel for how guys do things. All of a sudden you start stuffing guys in there."
Smith, who was beat out by Gabe Jackson for a starting spot this preseason, slides from left guard to right guard. Is Hevesy concerned about his endurance?
"I'm just gonna run him to death this week," he said with a wide grin. "No, Tobias loves to play. … He's on scholarship like the rest of them. He's got to pay his dues, and you've got to punch him in, play 70 plays, 90 plays, 10 plays, whatever we need him to play, he's got to play."
Hevesy said that upon watching film, he saw only one or two errors and one miscommunication among the linemen after Brignone left. He was pretty pleased with how his players adjusted.
• ON THE GATOR LINKS: Florida QB John Brantley and center Mike Pouncey say offensive coordinator Steve Addazio is doing just fine calling plays. … Head coach Urban Meyer expressed confidence in Addazio, too. … Chris Rainey has been reinstated to the team, according to Rivals. But it's from a single anonymous source. … Some injury updates on Jeff Demps and others. … Brantley has had to play through some injuries.

In a 2005 study published by the journal Nature, researchers at Durham University in England concluded that, across a range of sports, we found that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning. The researchers also suggested that red's effect may subconsciously intimidate opponents in athletic contests, especially when the athletes are equal in skill and strength.

At the 2015 Elkhart Lake Chamber's Membership Recognition Event on Tuesday, February 10, two area organizations were recognized as being a "Friend of the Community." These were the ELG Education Foundation and Grace Lutheran Church. The ELG School District would like to extend their sincerest congratulations and appreciation to both organizations on this well-deserved recognition. In addition to being "Friends of the Community", they are truly friends of the ELG School District. Their efforts and generosity has provided much assistance to the ELG school district and its families. Thank you ELGEF, Grace Lutheran Church and all the individuals and community organizations that support these two groups. Everyone working together has made a tremendous impact on our district, and most importantly, to our students.
Patrick R. Zorn and Abby Zorn Risse presented a $14,000 donation in memory of Linda Zorn to the Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah FFA Alumni and Education Foundation. Over the past years, the ELG FFA Alumni have been building a fund within the Education Foundation which would be earmarked for agri-science programs, curricular integrated studies, leadership activities, and other innovative educational programming. With the Zorn family donation, the FFA Alumni will reach their targeted goal of $50,000.
This donation was made in honor of the positive influence Linda and her husband Pat felt the areas of agri-science, FFA, and leadership studies made on the development of their daughter, Abby. They were also very impressed and appreciative for the opportunities these activities provided. Much of the credit for the programs they attribute to the direction given to the programs by former staff/administration, John Porior and Jerry Smith.
The goal of the FFA Alumni is to use only the interest from the $50,000 for projects, so in the truest sense, this is a memorial gift that will continue to keep giving long into the future.

It has been a successful year of collaboration between Mrs. Arbuckle and Mrs. Beyer's Agriculture classes and Mrs. Roehl's Culinary Arts classes. For the first semester of the school year, students in Animals, Plants and Pizza class worked hard raising Tilapia in an aquaponics system. They maintained the system which had about 25 fish in it, along with 5 tomato plants and 1 pepper plant. The aquaponics system is a recirculating system that uses the water from the fish tanks to provide nutrients to the tomato and pepper plants. In mid-December the students harvested 8 fish from the system. The students worked with Mrs. Roehl's Culinary Arts 4 class to learn how to clean and filet the fish. Then the students learned how to prepare the fish for a meal. Click here to read more.

Ethiopia's vulnerable tropical forests are key to securing the future of coffee
Fiona Hesselden, University of Huddersfield
24th March 2016Coffee may be grown all around the tropics, writes Fiona Hesselden, but it originates in just one place: the 'coffee rainforests' of the Ethiopian highlands. We depend on the wild plants for new genes and varieties, yet the forests are falling fast to the advance of farmers. To preserve the forests and all their biodiversity, the original people of the forest must receive their just rewards. more...
Why 'Effective Altruism' is ineffective: the case of refugees
Sam Earle & Rupert Read
5th April 2016In trying to evaluate charitable interventions in 'value for money' terms, the movement for 'Effective Altruism' has lost its moral compass, Sam Earle & Rupert Read. The real changes the world needs are profound, systemic and political. There is no better example than the refugee crisis: the problem is not insufficient aid, but structural inequality, too many weapons, and too much war. more...
Gustavo Castro Soto and the rigged investigation into Berta Cáceres's assassination
Beverly Bell
23rd March 2016The Government of Honduras is intent on framing the only witness to the murder of Berta Cáceres as the one guilty of the crime, writes Beverly Bell. Gustavo Castro Soto, an eco-defender from Mexico, is now in effective detention in his country's embassy in Tegucigalpa in fear of his life, having himself been injured in the attack and seen the real assassin. The US Government must break its resounding silence. more...
Global emissions stand still as temperatures soar

18th March 2016For the second year running CO2 emissions flatlined even as the global economy was growing at around 3%, writes Alex Kirby. But sharply rising temperatures show the need for further massive renewable energy deployment to actually bring emissions down. more...
Chancellor is right to act on sugar. Next, air pollution!
Simon Bullock
17th March 2016The Chancellor's 'sport not sugar' move to tax sugary drinks was extremely welcome, writes Simon Bullock. But we need a similar Treasury approach to protect people from other threats too. So how about tackling the air pollution that's killing tens of thousands of Britons a year? more...
Why Qaddafi had to go: African gold, oil and the challenge to monetary imperialism
Ellen Brown
14th March 2016What was NATO's violent intervention in Libya really all about? Now we know, writes Ellen Brown, thanks to Hillary Clinton's recently published emails. It was to prevent the creation of an independent hard currency in Africa that would free the continent from economic bondage under the dollar, the IMF and the French African franc, shaking off the last heavy chains of colonial exploitation. more...
Chlorpyrifos 'may threaten survival' of Forager bees
The Ecologist
11th March 2016The insecticide chlorpyrifos is not just highly toxic to developing human foetuses. A new study finds that it also damages the memory and learning ability of Forager bees even at very low doses, threatening the survival of this important pollinator. more...

Oil: $30-35 per barrel. Synthetic biology diesel: $3,180 to $7,949 per barrel. Game over?
Almuth Ernsting
29th February 2016A synthetic biology plant producing the anti-malarial drug artemisinin has just shut down as it's much cheaper to use wormwood grown by African farmers, writes Almuth Ernsting. The technology is even further from making affordable diesel, with a production cost of $20-50 per litre. No wonder investors are losing patience - and confidence - in loss-making synbio companies. more...
Climate change is killing off India's bees
Pramila Krishnan
1st March 2016A warming climate and the loss of natural areas are driving Indian bee colonies to the brink, writes Premila Krishnan.

Harnessing the power of evolution in participatory seed breeding
Salvatore Ceccarelli / Independent Science News
29th February 2016Conventional agriculture has made an enemy of evolution as pests and diseases develop resistance to biocides and over-bred hybrids succumb to them, writes Salvatore Ceccarelli. But there is another way - for farmers to participate in breeding seed lines that are continuously adapting to their environment, with ever improving yields, flavour, pest-resistance, and other sought-after qualities. more...
HS2 or HSUK - the quicker, cheaper, emissions-cutting, low impact high speed rail network?
Colin Elliff, Andrew Coulson & Stephen Stretton
1st March 2016High Speed UK is the greener, well-connected alternative to HS2, write Colin Elliff, Andrew Coulson & Stephen Stretton - and it would save taxpayers billions.

World Trade Organisation smashes India's solar panels industry
Dipti Bhatnagar & Sam Cossar-Gilbert
28th February 2016The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has found India's huge solar initiative 'guilty' of breaking trade rules, write Dipti Bhatnagar & Sam Cossar-Gilbert, because it gives domestic manufacturers a small 10% quota for the supply of panels, leaving up to 90% for foreign competitors. It's a warning for perils of the entire WTO system, and of even harsher trade rules like those in TPP, TTIP and CETA. more...
Monsanto's pride, Monsanto's fall: playing God with the Indian farmer
Colin Todhunter
19th February 2016India's farmers are the targets of structural violence aimed at uprooting indigenous agriculture and replacing it with an intensive corporate model based on GMOs and agrochemicals, writes Colin Todhunter. But as Monsanto's GM cotton succumbs to insect infestations despite repeated pesticide applications, agroecological farming is an increasingly attractive option for cultivators. more...
Money revolution: making banks public and locally accountable
Ellen Brown
18th February 2016The private banking system that dominates North America and Europe works very well indeed, writes Ellen Brown - for the bankers. As for us, it's a disaster, as the banks use their monopoly over the creation of money itself, at interest, as a tool to extract ever more value from us and the entire economy. But there is another way! more...

Zachary Davies Boren / Greenpeace Energydesk
18th February 2016Poland's environment ministry has a plan for a huge increase in logging in Europe's last great primeval forest, writes Zachary Davies Boren. Officials claim it's to control bark beetles. But ecologists say the insects are regulated naturally within the forest ecosystem, while logging threatens huge damage to irreplaceable biodiversity. more...
The new 'peak oil'? A dollar invested in solar yields more energy than a dollar invested in oil
Chris Goodall
13th February 2016According to oil company executives, oil is going to be a major energy source to 2100 and beyond. So after hearing an oil man make his case, Chris Goodall went home and crunched some numbers. Money invested in solar power already produces more energy than if it's put into oil exploration and production, and the gap is only going to widen from here. Is this the new 'peak oil'? more...
'Killing the Host': the financial system is destroying the global economy
Paul Craig Roberts
12th February 2016The main engine of economic exploitation is the financial system's ever increasing extraction of value through interest payments, according to economist Michael Hudson. Paul Craig Roberts finds his analysis all too accurate, as the over-financialized economies of western countries head down a spiral of poverty, decline, injustice and despair. more...

Hotter planet helping spread of Zika virus mosquitos
Nadia Pontes
10th February 2016The Aedes mosquitos that carry the Zika virus and dengue fever are not just perfectly adapted to life in cities, writes Nadia Pontes.

REDD is dead. So now, how are we going to save the world's forests?
Chris Lang
11th February 2016For years the 'market mantra' has been to save forests by selling the carbon they embody, writes Chris Lang, harnessing the profit motive for the benefit of trees and climate. But it never worked, and now even former fans are admitting that REDD is just another failed conservation fad. So what next? How about asking local communities to manage their forests as commons? more...
Organic agriculture, agroecology and the parallel reality of the GMO evangelist
Colin Todhunter
21st March 2016GMO enthusiasts insist that organic, agroecological farming could never feed the world, writes Colin Todhunter. But it has been feeding us all for millennia - and it's the only way to continue while enriching the soils and biodiversity on which all farming depends. As Mahatma Gandhi once observed, industrial agriculture is but a nine-day wonder. And its time will soon be up. more...
Disease may wipe out the world's bananas - unless we adopt agroecological solutions
Angelina Sanderson Bellamy, Cardiff University
7th February 2016Bananas are at the sharp end of industrial agriculture's chemical war on pests and pathogens, writes Angelina Sanderson Bellamy. But even 60 pesticide sprays a year isn't enough to keep the diseases at bay. It's time to seek new solutions with little or no use of chemicals, working with nature, growing diverse crops on the same land - and breaking the dominance of the banana multinationals. more...
Promises be damned: TPP 'benefits' are strictly for the corporations
Pete Dolack
4th February 2016Boosters of 'free trade' agreements - like the Trans Pacific Partnership that's being signed today - like to make big promises, writes Pete Dolack: trillions of dollars of economic gains, billions of dollars of investment, millions of new jobs. But there's only one certainty, and it's one they never mention: the permanent redistribution of power and income from working people to capital. more...
A sustainable UK needs a 'one planet' Budget
Alan Simpson
5th February 2016When Chancellor George Osborne delivers his Budget next month, we can be sure that climate and environment won't take a high priority, writes Alan Simpson.

DOVER — The board of aldermen will raise the tax levy nearly 7 percent to avoid the cuts in staff and services that have been enacted in neighboring municipalities.
The town aldermen voted 5-3 Tuesday night to introduce the 2010 municipal budget, which will raise taxes $144 on a home assessed at $290,000, the town average.
Mayor Jim Dodd said he was very proud of the budget and that it overcame the twin difficulties of declining revenue and increased expenses.
David Evans, an accountant with Nisivoccia & Company who helped Dover prepare its budget, commended the town on its handling of increased pension and health insurance costs, and a reduction of nearly $300,000 in state aid.
"I think you guys are doing an admirable job with the tools you have," Evans said.
The budget, which raises the tax levy 6.87 percent, does not call for any layoffs.
"It minimizes the tax impact to the community and at the same time maintains services," said
Bill Close, town administrator.
Alderman Frank Poolas, who voted against the budget, said the town's spending plan could have been more austere. Poolas called for some small, common-sense solutions that he said would add up to big savings. For example, he proposed printing on both sides of paper and printing only one copy of the town's bills list. Poolas also called for the elimination of salaries for the mayor and aldermen, which would save the town close to $50,000.
"Every department made a sacrifice," Poolas said, "and we didn't cut one penny."
Alderman Michael Picciallo said the budget was a carefully crafted response to tough fiscal times and did a good job of eliminating unnecessary spending.
"This is a very tight budget," Picciallo said. "Hopefully, people will be happy with it."
