The look and feel is very natural; these surfaces have come a long way since the days of the original Astro Turf surfaces. This alternative to natural grass is recommended for green industry applications due to the savings of water and environmental contaminates.

ARRA $24,000 EHR Stimulus Facts
The short version
American Recovery & Reinvestment (ARRA) HITECH Act is intended to ensure that patient data can be securely exchanged between health information professional and networks. It mandates the adoption of EHR systems, encouraging early adoption with incentives and punishing late adoption with penalties. Nearly 20 billion dollars have been allocated as incentives to doctors' demonstrating "meaningful use" of certified technology solutions.
ARRA and Chiropractic
Chiropractors are eligible to receive incentive payments (up to $24,000) per provider on Medicare Part B claims.
Answers to Chiropractors Top Questions about the $24,000 ARRA Stimulus
Reporting is the "reporting period," during which you maintain compliance with the Meaningful Use objectives. Attesting is the process of submitting compliant results from the reporting period to Medicare.
The Meaningful Use Objectives are the data points to which the certified EHR software is tested and which a provider uses to show use of the EHR software.
You participate in Stage 2.
You participate in Stage 1. All participants complete two years of Stage 1 before Stage 2.
All participants report for a 90-day period in 2014 regardless of their year of participating.
Yes. You may participate if you submit claims to Medicare for Part B physician fee schedule services on behalf of Medicare patients.
There is no minimum requirement.
Yes, as long as each doctor demonstrates "meaningful use" of a "certified" solution.
YES! If chiropractors have not implemented and used a certified solution by 2015 their Medicare payments will be reduced by 1% in 2015; 2% in 2016; and 3% in 2017. Penalties could reach 4% or even 5% if fewer than 75 percent of eligible professionals have not adopted EHR solutions by 2018.
First-time participants complete any 90 days in 2014. Participants must begin their 90-day reporting period no later than July 1 and attest to meaningful use no later than October 1, 2014 to avoid a 1% payment adjustment of Medicare in 2015.

Lol, I sure could use on of those.As you know, nothing gets a woman hotter than a really cheesy pick-up line. Or better yet, a really cheesy and wildly inappropriate line"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought that was a Braille name tag" for example. Fortunately, even the shy awkward geek can get in on the action thanks to our good old friend the gadget.
The Pick-up Line Generator features 40 of the world's "most effective" pick-up lines, including gems like: "Is it hot in here, or is it just you?" As ridiculous as that is, the manufacturers stress that volume is the key to success here: "for all those that roll their eyes and walk away (and later you'll be glad they did), there's just as many who will have a laugh, then stay and chat." All you need to do is head to a quiet corner and consult your pocket-sized generator for a little advice, and the babes should roll right in. Somehow I find that hard to believe, but if you have actually used a pick up line that worked, leave it in the comments. Available for $19.95.
Old Signature"I don't mean to seem like I care about material things, like a social status."

Kudos to The Jewish Week's investigative report into apparent inverted justice for Sam Kellner ("Abuse Whistleblower Battling Both Haredi Community, DA," Jan. 18).
But where is the same investigative journalism for the Orthodox ex-kosher slaughterhouse owner Sholom Rubashkin, whose absurdly disproportionate 27-year sentence for financial irregularities should have been approximately one to two years, as given in other similar cases? Since the government couldn't get charges for employing illegal immigrants to stick after raiding his plant, they threw the book at him while the major slaughterhouses went free.
But the Rubashkin miscarriage of justice is reported merely as "Rubashkin Family Hopes for a Miracle" (Jan. 18).

By Bob Allen
Leaders of a Baptist association in Alabama investigated questions raised in recent media reports about a director of mission's handling of alleged child sex abuse decades ago in 2009 and found no evidence of cover-up, according to a news story dated July 17 in the Alabama Baptist.
Recent news stories about the May 20 arrest of a former youth minister at Lakeside Baptist Church in Birmingham, Ala., included comments by one of the alleged victims claiming the pastor at the time, Mike McLemore, knew about the abuse but kept it quiet to protect the congregation's image.
Mack Allen Davis, 73, minister of youth and recreation at Lakeside Baptist Church from 1977 until his retirement in 1999, faces 15 charges from three counties stemming from allegations by two men who stepped forward to claim that Davis molested them 30 years ago.
One of the men, Davis' nephew, Andrew Guffey, 44, told the Birmingham News that McLemore, now director of missions for Birmingham Baptist Association, knew about the abuse by the late 1990s but did not report it to the police.
The Alabama Baptist report says the allegations against McLemore are nothing new. The association's executive committee and human resources committee studied the matter 15 years ago and reported on Jan. 29, 2010, that no one "has seen any information to support the charge that Dr. McLemore knowingly protected a pedophile during his tenure as pastor of Lakeside Baptist Church."
McLemore insists he knew nothing about Guffey's abuse until he started making public allegations against him. He told the Alabama Baptist that he learned in 1999 of accusations that Davis had molested someone else, but the family asked to keep the matter confidential.
"That guided everything I did from that point on," McLemore told the Alabama Baptist.
McLemore said Davis was forced to take early retirement at age 59 and agreed to pay for counseling for the victim. McLemore said he followed normal procedures for a departing long-time staff member, including a farewell reception and financial gift, in order not to call special attention to the separation.
The Southern Baptist Convention lacks authority to hire or fire ministers of local churches, but in 2013 passed a resolution reminding "all Southern Baptists of their legal and moral responsibility to report any accusations of child abuse to authorities."
Albert Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Ky., advised ministers at the recent 2014 SBC annual meeting in Baltimore to immediately "dial 911" at the first report of any alleged child sexual abuse.
An earlier SBC resolution in 2007 renounced "individuals, churches, or other religious bodies that cover up, ignore, or otherwise contribute to or condone the abuse of children."
"There's been an awareness raised because of the Catholic fallout," McLemore said in a Birmingham News report dated June 14, 2007. "It's something we need to address. We have training and workshops available through our state convention."
According to the Alabama Baptist report, renewed interest in the case prompted associational leaders to take a second look at the situation. The newspaper quoted McLemore as saying "he has been overwhelmed with support from pastors and churches in the association."

ODE/OEC has revised the IEP form to incorporate the "standards based IEP" requirement of the modified assessment process and has developed annotations for the IEP form. The new revised IEP form is required to be used for IEPs written beginning in the fall 2009 for the 2009-2010 year.
* OEC has made the decision that the IEP form will not be translated into different languages. The reason for this decision is because IEP team members who develop IEPs are usually English speaking and they would have a substantially increased chance of error when trying to fill out a form in a language other than English. OEC's position is once a district completes a child's IEP in English, it is the district's responsibility to have the IEP translated into the parent's language if the parents do not read English. In this way, parents who speak and read another language will be able to understand what the IEP states about the services their child will be receiving which is the requirement of the law. To have a blank form in Spanish or any other language is just not helpful, particularly if it is being filled out by staff who cannot speak or read that language.
ODE/OEC has revised the ETR form to comply with federal and state laws.
* Documents included in the ETR form.
In response to requests, the individual evaluators' assessment section of the ETR form has been made available separately.
The due process form, formerly entitled PR-08, is a model form that is not required by IDEA for parents or local educational agencies to file a request for a due process hearing. It can be found on the ODE website in the section that addresses due process.
The new IEP PR-07 form will no longer be used for the Services Plan. A new Services Plan form has been developed by ODE/OEC and they are now available to view/download.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Y Reads with You, a literacy program developed by the partnership of the YMCA of Southeast Texas and Port Arthur Independent School District, hosted its kickoff celebration at Sam Houston Elementary in Port Arthur on Thursday, Oct. 1.
With storytelling, snacks and activities, the preliminary event was an educational and interactive success.
After roughly two months of being missing from the job, Port Arthur Independent School District Superintendent Johnny Brown has returned to his duties as of Dec. 13.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

RUS W: Evgenia Estes - in Japan I was at home
She returned to the team in early May, the European education in Ankara. There came out to replace, substitute of Sokolova. Here in Tokyo, on the contrary plays without replacement. Until this year, Evgeniya Estes (Artamonova) appeared on the platform in the Russian national team jersey at the Olympics in Beijing. And now back. The second of her career. Indeed, on the eve of the 2008 Games too, returned to star spiker for the national team after a pause associated with marriage and childbirth. My husband Jeremiah and son, she flew from Ankara to America. Now both nearby arrived in Tokyo from New York.
- You play in Russia, but live, it turns out in the U.S.?
- Yes, I plan to live in America when I finish my career. The son will go there in the autumn to school, my husband got to work independently. He will coach the team of the University of Greenwich.
- And you, when will join with your men? How long will you please us with your game?
- Apparently, the upcoming season will be my last. I had similar thoughts a year ago, but received an invitation to the team, I have decided to postpone the departure.
- What's the recipe for having such a long carrier? .
- The main thing is desire to play.
- In Tokyo, except for you, other attackers in structure of national team Russia are not present....
- I cope with increased responsibilities and workloads, although fatigue is felt. THE schedule of the tournament is you play two games, then have a day off. We finish our games quickly.
- You debuted in the national team in 16 years, playing even for the Soviet national team. Gamova in 17. And both are still playing at a consistently high level. Why today there are no such examples? Trainers do not trust or the talent does not suffice?
- I think to play in a national team, the combination of many factors is necessary, certainly. Trainer's trust, for example. But talent is unconditional, it is primary. It is possible to be the good player, it is a lot of work, have the character, but if God did not give, time on the top level does not last long.
- What about health?
- Health of the woman who plays professional volleyball, as the years go. It is the objective situation. It does not change, but you must carefully monitor it, and if possible take care of yourself. My back problems doctors were able to solve.
- In national team you have paused first time for four seasons. The decision of the new national team head coach Sergey Ovchinnikov was a surprise?
- I was very pleased. Refusing appearances for the national team, I never thought of that. Former mentor, Vladimir Kuzyutkin, said that he would call younger players. Well, just so I could only play in the club. When Ovchinnikov called me, I had a great desire to come. I hope I can help.
- Intercontinental selection by tradition is spent in Japan. You have won in this country seven club seasons.
- For me to be here was good. My feelingfrom Japan - "I'm home!" Indeed, all that's right here I am at home. My husband is Japanese, many of my volleyball skills is the result of training with Japanese volleyball players and local experts.
- You mean the game at the reception, right?
- And the defense, and the reception. These qualities I have managed to develop in Japan. But the nature of the game in attack, it came out of my Uralochka Nikolai Karpol.
- In Japan, professional teams live on the schedule of their sponsoring corporations - spend all day at work. Train, eat, sleep...For you as a local league MVP, did they make an exception?
- I did not want it. If we are a team, we all live by the same rules. It was important to follow a common system. This is incidentally really pulls together to live on the "Japanese" standards.
- Did you learn the local language?
- No, I had a translator. In the mid-90s when I was playing for the "Toyobo" it was a Japanese journalist. Then, when I returned to Japan after three seasons in Turkey, Italy and Russia, and began performing in "Takefudzhi Bamba," I had help by one other girl.
- You were in six different championships, becoming the champion of all and having earned in total 18 various club titles. And what of them for you the most memorable?
- For me the most memorable event is the Olympics. Let one of them to win the gold was not possible.
- Why did our team when reaching the finals three times in Barcelona, Sydney and Athens, every time stumbled at the last moment?
- I have my own opinion, but I will leave it with me. And I do not consider our silver medals as bad result. For me, it's almost like gold. Each of them should be gained on trainings.
- Do you believe that in London the sixth attempt we will be Olympic champions?
- How to guess? First, let's get to the Olympics.

Prepare to be dazzled Saturday evening when Uluwehi Guerrero presents an extraordinary concert, "Na Mele O Ku'u Pu'uwai: Songs of My Heart," celebrating love for family, friends and places.
Every two years the Na Hoku award-winning kumu hula mounts a mass production at the MACC, and this weekend's extravaganza features the combined talents of Halau Hula Kauluokala with about 130 dancers, the Kaulupono Chamber Ensemble, the Na Leo Lani O Maui community choir, a Hawaiian band, Maui Taiko drummers and even a group of Japanese dancers from Hokkaido.
"They will be dancing in a Japanese segment," Uluwehi explains. "They're coming all the way from Hokkaido and are going to be doing hula."
Article Photos
For years the concept has always had a heart theme. They're approached with the love for where we are and where we come from and the things that nurture us.
Hundreds of dancers, musicians and singers will back this favorite entertainer from here to Japan in concert at the MACC
Keali'i Reichel will appear in two "Solo Sessions" Sept. 9 and 10 in McCoy Studio Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center.
The evening will be filled with traditional chant, music and hula. "All the songs that will be presented have a personal connection for me, telling a story," he says. "That's why we named it 'Na Mele O Ku'u Pu'uwai, The Songs of My Heart.' We've been working for the past few months putting each piece together. It's a huge job because of the amount of people involved. I just like to give appreciation to all my family and friends and the community for being so supportive in what we do. It's like a big party for everyone."
In September 2008, Uluwehi orchestrated a grand show in the Castle Theater with the theme "Home Is Where The Heart Is."
"For years the concept has always had a heart theme," he continues. "They're approached with the love for where we are and where we come from and the things that nurture us. With that I'm constantly thinking of new ways to bring back the traditions of our family, because I think in this time now when there are so many challenges, our focus changes. The biggest focus is our family, and the foundation of that keeps us together."
About a year ago, Uluwehi released a majestic treasury of Hawaiian music, "Uluwehi Sings Na Mele Hula Aloha - Beloved Hula Songs." Embellished with lush string arrangements and highlighting his heavenly falsetto, the album featured classic gems by such notable Hawaiian composers as Helen Desha Beamer, Alice Namakelua, Charles E. King, Mary Kawena Pukui and Irmgard Farden.
It was no surprise that when the nominations for the 2010 Na Hoku Hanohano Awards were announced, he led the pack with a total of seven nominations including Male Vocalist, Hawaiian Album, Song of the Year and Album of the Year.
"It was amazing. I never expected it," he says. "It's one of my highlights so far. Since the Hokus, it's been crazy. I've been traveling back and forth to Japan, and after the Maui concert I'm performing at the Tokyo Dome, which holds 50,000 people."
One of the entertainers chosen to perform at the Na Hoku ceremony, Uluwehi serenaded the audience with an original song on the CD, "Nani Kamakura," co-composed with Pono Fried, that celebrates the annual blooming of Japan's cherry blossoms.
"I wanted to play it because it's a kind of a bridging of the cultures," he notes. "So many musicians and kumu hula from Hawaii go there. I wanted to show my appreciation of the two cultures. And it was different. Everyone was expecting to see hula because I was up for traditional Hawaiian Album of the Year."
* Uluwehi Guerrero and Halau Hula Kauluokala perform at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Castle Theater at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center. Tickets are $25, $30 and $40 (plus applicable fees), available from the MACC box office, 242-7469 or www.mauiarts.org.
The MACC's "Solo Sessions" series provides a unique platform for artists to perform and talk about their music in the intimate setting of the McCoy Studio Theater. Following the success of shows by Jake Shimabukuro, coming up Sept. 9 and 10 are two not-to-be-missed opportunities to see acclaimed chanter/kumu hula/entertainer Keali'i Reichel.
We've previously seen Hawaii's most popular recording artist in sell-out concerts surrounded by the Maui Pops Orchestra or his award-winning halau and band. Now he's taking the stage with a stripped-down format, just accompanied by a couple of backing musicians, Aiau and Uncle Moses on guitar and bass, and a few dancers for two special nights of hula kahiko and chant, plus favorite songs and storytelling.
The multi-Na Hoku Hanohano award winner recently headlined a "Sing 4 HUGS," benefit concert in Waikiki, aiding a nonprofit organization that serves children facing life-threatening illnesses.
* Tickets are $35 and $65 for VIP, which includes a post-show meet-and-greet event, plus applicable fees, available as above. Next up in the series, Jake returns on Oct. 7, followed by Robert Cazimero singing and playing the grand piano on Nov. 12.
A night of cool, smooth jazz teams guitarist Peter White with saxophonist Michael Paulo in Castle Theater at 7:30 p.m. Sunday.
One of smooth jazz's best-known artists, Peter White toured for many years with Al Stewart, co-writing the hit "Time Passages." He later played on several albums by jazz/pop star Basia, and has worked with Dave Koz, David Benoit and Rick Braun. His latest CD, "Good Day," features Basia on vocals and instrumental help from a sterling group including keyboard great Phillip Saisse.
"He's a superior talent when it comes to what he can do with a guitar," praised an Allaboutjazz review. "Good Day is yet another showcase for White's great technique and style."
Long familiar to Hawaii audiences from years playing with Kalapana, Michael Paulo has enjoyed success in pop, soul and contemporary jazz. His 1989 album, "One Passion," was praised by Jazziz Magazine as one of the most influential contemporary jazz albums in the genre's history. Over the years he's toured and/or recorded with Al Jarreau, Herbie Hancock, James Ingram, Kenny Loggins, Patti Austin and David Benoit. The former music director of the Dolphin Days Waikoloa wine and food festival, he is currently artist in residence at the Java Jazz Festival.
Their accompanying band includes keyboardist Gregg Karukas (Rippingtons, Sergio Mendes) and bassist Dwayne "Smitty" Smith (Anita Baker, Natalie Cole, the Isley Brothers).
* Tickets are $30, $40 and $75 for premium seating with pre-show meet-and-greet event. Applicable fees are added to ticket prices, available as above.
When country legend Willie Nelson needed a band to perform at a recent benefit for friend Neil Abercrombie's campaign for Hawaii governor, he called Tom Conway. The Maui guitarist in turn got hold of bassist Marcus Johnson and drummer Paul Marchetti, and the trio backed Willie at the Summer Jam fundraiser before a crowd of about 6,000 at the Blaisdell Exhibition Hall.
"I thought a smaller group would be nice, so it was Willie, me, Marcus and Paul as the band - all Maui," says Tom.
And show opener Willie K later joined in on some classics. "We played a couple of blues tunes, a couple of gospel songs and 'Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain' with Willie K," Tom reports. "All three of us traded guitar solos on a blues tune, it was really fun."
Nelson returned to his roots on his latest masterful CD, "Country Music." Standouts include the rousing rockabilly of "Freight Train Boogie," his updated, fiddle-driven original tune "Man With The Blues" and the stark traditional song "Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down."
The free community event "Ulupalakua Cares" will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Ulupalakua Ranch and Maui Winery. The day will include music, walking tours by environmental leaders and informational exhibits by local conservation groups.
Ukulele ace Derick Sebastian and Joshua Kahula will play from noon to 3 p.m., followed by Lanai's Polihua from 3 to 4, at the winery. Across the road at the ranch store, Bradda Francis Koahou will play slack key guitar from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Derick's first full-length ukulele instrumental album, "From His Heart," earned a Hoku nomination this year for Best Instrumental Album. On June 9, he wowed 24,000 fans attending an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game, performing the National Anthem on ukulele.

Please update your RMA policy/instructions
I recently had a charger go bad and sent in a support ticket to have it returned. I received an RMA number and sent the defective charger back. I was informed today by voice mail that I was also suppose to include all the additional cables and accessories that came with the charger or I will not get a replacement charger. Nowhere on the RMA instructions does it say to return all accessories with the defective charger. I sent the defective charger unit back and expected only a charger unit in return. I am not expecting your company to send me a whole new charger plus all the charger accessories that came with it.
I explained to the person on the support ticket system that I already paid almost $10 to ship the charger unit back and that I will have to pay another $6 to send the cables back and all they will do is throw them out. I do not understand why you can not simply open up a new charger box and take out the charger unit then keep all the accessories and send me just the charger unit. If your company policy is all accessories must be returned then tell that to people BEFORE they ship it back and include such instructions in the RMA instructions. I can understand the policy if you are shipping back more than what I returned but am not asking you to send more than what I returned. I sent back just a charger unit and want only back a charger unit. You can keep all the accessories. Why do I have to send these parts to you so you can throw them out? Then the next day you send me a charger with the same accessories back to me? All it does is wastes each other time.
No offense but that seems pretty standard. If you return something to a store, even for an exchange, send everything. The only time I've heard of returning only part of a product is if you send something to a manufacturer for repair or replacement. Just saying...

I am not saying it is unfair, just to explain clearly the policy before not after the fact. The policy for mail in companies varies all over the place on returns. I can only go by the RMA instructions given to me. All they have to do in the instructions is state to make sure to include all accessories and manuals as received then you know what to do. If one of the charging cables was defective, I wonder if I would really have to send the charger back for a replacement cable.
I have sent the other items back so it has now cost me $15 to get a replacement for the defective charger I received.

Seems I may have miscalculated the extent of our losses this year... I calculated that I would be losing $3,113 in take home pay. A calculator I found that First Army compiled to help people plan for the furlough says I'm losing out of $5,663. Currently, we only have about $2,200 in savings.
NOW I'm getting scared. Especially now that student loans are coming due in a month or so...
hahaha disregard!! The furlough calculator defaulted to me wanting to save 18% of my income via my TSP account while on furlough... um, yeah right! Anyhow, I'm only off by about $60, not $2000... *whew* crisis averted!!!
Brad and I just refinanced our mortgage. The interest rate went down by 0.75%. The mortgage lender sent us a notice that there was a program called the VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan that allows us to refinance for little to no closing costs (no survey cost if the survey has been done in the last 10 years, plus up to $1,400 in Wells Fargo Lender Credits for being a Wells Fargo customer). Our payment is expected to go down by only $100 a month, but in 12 months, that's a savings of $1,200, which is about 1/2 of what I'm losing in salary this year, so I consider it a win. Yes, there'll be two more years tacked onto our mortgage, but with the debt snowball, we'll never see the end of that 30 years, so it's all good. I've got to think about our needs RIGHT NOW and not our needs for 30 years down the line, ya know? Plus, if our mortgage goes down, I don't need to sweat the fact that we've dipped into the furlough funds and there's not the full $3,000 left. Having $600 taken off of our mortgage bill for this year will help a lot to help us survive this crap. We should be closing in 60-90 days. I wish it didn't take so long.
With the furlough there is nothing you can do work with the student loan people? Frickin' congress. Why the hell aren't they on furlough? I am so sick of their BS
You know all those things you wanted to do: You should go do them.

Hey Jenn - normally when you do a refi there is a lag in the payment due - as one loan is paying off and the new one is taking affect --- will you have a one month mortgage free zone during the transition?

Idk, Tomi. It sure would be nice. I'll be sure NOT to tell Brad about said skipped payment and will instead sock it into the furlough. The furlough needs to be my priority over credit cards right now, I think, since we're 900 short. :S
Listening to the Healthy Life Summit: Healing the Mind and Body with Food with Julia Ross (I can't share the link b/c you have to be signed up to listen, I think.) I guess I can try: Healthy Life Summit: Julia Ross | Village Green Network Not sure if that will work or not. I hope it does.

Lotus Notes 8 Available for Linux Servers
IBM has now released the new version of the Lotus Notes Groupware and Collaboration Suite for Linux servers. Besides numerous enhancements and a new, Java-based architecture, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 now provides a Linux distribution-based platform for the server.
In a software announcement the US manufacturer lists the Red Hat Enterprise distribution as a supported operating system for Lotus server and emphasizes cross platform availability.
Lotus Notes 8 builds on a new plugin extensible Eclipse architecture and offers integrated document management besides standard Groupware functions. Administrators can customize the installation to reflect their company's requirements and model internal workflows in the collaboration suite.
Besides numerous improvements to the GUI and the integration of various quick launch options, Lotus users now have a context-sensitive search feature throughout. Notes 8 now also supports the Open Document Format besides Microsoft Office and Lotus formats, and it can export documents directly to PDF. If needed, a history function will show users the history of communications with individual contacts.
According to the vendor, the Tivoli Directory Integrator combines Lotus Notes with various directory services. Clustering and replication mechanisms have been reworked to use less bandwidth than the predecessor.
IBM plans to release the English version August 17. Media and documentation will probably be released a month later.

Our Born-Again Virgin Bachelor
The Bachelor just ended, and hi-ho the cherrio, the Born-Again Virgin gets a wife. The tabloids are still harping on how this season's beau, Sean Lowe, proclaimed to be "saving" himself for his wedding night, raising the question: How did a gorgeous young heterosexual American male manage to stay a virgin by 29?
Well, truth be told, he didn't. He's had sex before, but he's abstinent now. The media's not worried about the logistics, though. It's much more titillating to focus on Lowe as the born-again virgin, the golden boy who found God and therefore gets to reclaim his virginity and wear it like a heavyweight champion belt across that ripped Adonis torso of his.
The fascination with The Bachelor's virginity speaks to our cultural tendency to both ridicule and idolize virginity at the same time. Our view of said virginity also relates to a person's age and appearance. The 40 Year Old Virgin is cast as a nerd with a dead-end job at an electronics store who still plays with toys, and The Bachelor's born-again virgin is a 29-year-old hunk… who happens to have prior sexual experience, making him already a "real man."
With Lowe at the center of this show, ABC saw viewership for The Bachelorboost this season, as women from soap opera junkies to groups of sorority girls tuned in for the drama. I wonder if it is just a matter of time before Hollywood comes out with a new reality show where a group of gorgeous contestants live with a single virgin. Bet you can't guess the premise! It sounds a bit vulgar and crass, but really, today's programming is not far from it. Competing for someone's virginity can easily become both the adrenaline of pursuit and the prize to be won… provided they are the right kind of virgin.
We tune in for what our culture has deemed the desirable virgins. For the ladies, we picture an attractive woman between 18 and 30 (early 30s if she's especially "hot"), without any emotional baggage, sad back story, or religious zealotry. For the man, he has to be good-looking, so we know he's chosen to remain a virgin, unlike the unattractive male virgins who didn't have a say in the matter. Oh, and he has to be somewhat sexually experienced. We expect all adult men to have had sex, unless some sort of emotional, physical, or mental problem is keeping them from doing the deed. That "born-again" modifier is perfect. The lucky bride gets to have her cake and eat it too.

The fire was reported at 12:01 p.m.. It was declared under control at about 1 p.m., according to Millville Fire Chief Kurt Hess.
The blaze, at Lakeview Manor's building No. 3, reportedly started in the kitchen of unit 3F, a second-floor apartment. It has been attributed to "unattended cooking," Hess said.
No one was found inside the apartment. It is believed 3F's tenant was at work when the fire started, but that his son also had been staying there.
Smoke damage was reported to as many as five other apartments, while unit 3B, the apartment located beneath 3F, sustained some fire damage as a result of some "drop down" in the walls, according to Hess.
The two units that sustained fire damage are uninhabitable.
Hess called for all available career firefighters to respond to the fire at 12:19 p.m.
City police and personnel with the American Red Cross and Cumberland County Fire Police also responded to the scene to provide assistance.
All displaced tenants had made arrangements to stay with relatives by about 1:30 p.m.
Lakeview Manor is located at Newcombtown Road and Wade Boulevard.

Only midway through the 2013 calender, many great candidates have emerged for Submission of the Year honors.
In June, Josh Burkman joined the race for the award by submitting former UFC welterweight title challenger Jon Fitch. Despite being overlooked heading into the matchup, Burkman required only 41 seconds to put Fitch to sleep in decisive fashion.
Where does stopping Fitch put Burkman in the hunt for 2013 Submission of the Year?
Let's take a look. Here are the five leading candidates heading into July based on rarity of submission, technical precision, quality of opposition and magnitude of the fight during which the finish occurred.

ESPN P4P Rankings: Floyd Mayweather JR Number 1 P4P
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr
Hits: Even after 16 months out of the ring following his near shutout of Shane Mosley in May 2010, Mayweather returned to action on Sept. 17 and showed not the slightest bit of rust. Still fast and possessing great defense and underrated power, Mayweather knocked out Victor Ortiz (albeit in controversial fashion) in the fourth round to reclaim one of the titles he had previously given up. Now, instead of disappearing on another long layoff, Mayweather has announced plans to return on May 5, ideally against Manny Pacquiao -- if Pacquiao's people will come to the bargaining table.
Misses: It's great that Mayweather seems to be showing real interest in finally facing Pacquiao, but since Pacquiao just fought, how about giving him a little bit of time to unwind before insisting on a negotiation right now? Where was that kind of urgency at any point in the past few years?
2. Manny Pacquiao
Hits: Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, who had already produced two memorable battles in featherweight and junior lightweight title bouts, met for the third time Nov. 12 and gave fight fans a worthy trilogy with another outstanding and highly competitive fight. With Pacquiao's victory, the path is wide open for him to at long last meet Mayweather in the fight the world wants to see.
Misses: Pacquiao, who was a massive favorite to beat Marquez because they were fighting at welterweight, looked as vulnerable as he has in a long time. Although he eked out a majority decision, few would have quarreled had Marquez gotten the win or had the fight been ruled a draw. Pacquiao looked confused at times and lacked snap on his punches in a less-than-stellar outing. It just wasn't the kind of performance we have come to expect from Pacquiao, especially in light of the fact that Marquez had been wiped out by Mayweather in 2009 in his only other welterweight fight. Although a fourth fight with Marquez is certainly warranted at some point, it absolutely should not be next, which is what Top Rank's Bob Arum, Pacquiao's promoter, is talking about pursuing. Mayweather should be next, and it's going to have to be up to Pacquiao to stand up to Arum and tell him to make a deal. Period.
1. Floyd Mayweather JR
The Latest: Mayweather says he's secured the MGM Grand for May 5 and wants to make "the biggest fight out there" -- and it's no secret what that is. But will Pacquiao be in any hurry to make it happen after getting touched up by an opponent who is stylistically identical to Floyd?
2. Manny Pacquiao
The Latest: The only eight-division champion in history won a razor-thin decision over Marquez on Nov. 12. Bob Arum says a fourth Marquez fight should (and could) be next, but most fans would rather see a showdown between the fighters who rank 1-2 on virtually every pound-for-pound list.

Makes sense, I agree although it seems like it was based more on Pacquiao's performance rather than Floyd's.

I think many of Floyd's haters are actually his fans. They just hate his out of the ring antics. Some of Floyd's Fans/Haters are like Girls who are mad at their boyfriends for forgetting their anniversary. One moment the hate you but then you do something nice for them and they love you again.

Reading tools and tips for the pre-school set
Working on Phonics and letter sounds:
One of the best free reading sites on the web is http://www.starfall.com/ the phonics games are fun for kids and encourage lots of repetition. The site goes from basic phonics for pre-schoolers and kindergartners to easy stories. It is interactive and I've yet to see a kid that didn't like the site.
Sight Words
After your kids have learned their letters and sounds they need to work on memorizing their basic sight words (words that occur frequently in text). Start with a small group (A, And , The) and work on more when they have mastered the first set. There is a website with flash cards. Once they learn a few of these words they will be able to combine the pictures on the page and start to "read."
Leveled Books
Now that your child knows a few sight words you need to get them some leveled books, these are books that are written for a certain reading level. I got my first few sets from the Scholastic catalogs that are distributed on the school market. The set on the left is similar to the books that I used and Amazon has a large selection. I also used http://www.readinga-z.com/ which is not free (although it does have free samples) but you can print out as many books as you want and kids often get through these little readers fast. There is also a phonics program on the site that I used. The only problem with that website is it's used in many schools so your child may repeat books that they've already read when they start school.
What I did when my daughter was little was to keep these books in her room, we didn't work on them really at all but they were in her room and she flipped through them. She figured out on her own that she could read them with just a little help and was SO proud of herself.
Read alouds and audio books
These should always be more difficult than what your child can do themselves epically at the early levels. Audio books that you can find in the scholastic catalog or the library are fantastic. Your child can put in a CD and follow along turning the page with the directions on the CD's. Once they start simple reading then it's time to look for more difficult audio books so they can learn to follow stories that don't have pictures.
I've found that if you put your child to bed half an hour before they're actually tired it gives them lots of time to read. I also did the same thing with naps when my daughter was four. She had quiet time in the afternoon where she could sleep if she wanted or she could read or listen to an audio book while I read in my room.
When you've started reading your child simple chapter books you can tape yourself while you are reading to your child (there's a record feature on most ipods or you can use a headset attached to your computer) and then you have a free audio book that they can listen to over and over again.
Don't worry about writing
If you've got a young reader don't worry about writing, they do need to learn their letters and such but this should not be anything you worry or stress about, their little hand muscles need to mature before they're going to be able to write.
Most importantly
Kids need to learn to enjoy reading and if they're not ready and they are little they shouldn't be pushed. Not every child is ready at the same age. Kids need to be read to and they need to see reading as a normal part of daily life and not as a chore and parents need to find books that have stories that will interest their specific child. It is not expected or necessary for kids to read when they enter Kindergarten. They just need basic literacy skills such as being able to follow a simple picture book and knowing their letters and most of the sounds.

An unintended consequence of the transformation process in Central and Eastern Europe was a decline in fertility rates and in many cases outmigration leading to an accelerated ageing and decline of populations. These general demographic changes are more heterogeneous on a local level which points to a coexistence of growing and shrinking municipalities. Shrinking population numbers are a problem at the local level since apart from local public administration in a more narrow sense many public services are provided at this level. It is likely that demand for these services will decline with declining population numbers leading to overcapacities and rising unit costs if supply structures cannot be adapted in the short run.
The internal labour markets of the public sector are said to be quite inflexible in their reactions to declines in demand for mass layoffs are usually avoided in favour of "natural" fluctuation combined with recruitment being reduced to a minimum (or zero). The latter response pattern in turn is likely to produce certain second order problems for organisational demography since the workforce of local entities is cut off from new knowledge (carried by new entrants). How do local decision makers perceive of demographic change in shrinking municipalities and how do they respond in their personnel policies?
The dissertation is based on 95 expert interviews in 21 municipalities from East Germany, West Germany and Poland. It comparatively looks, first, at institutional mechanisms translating demographic decline into an administrative problem for local governments. Second, it reconstructs organisational frames of demographic decline, and third, relates these frames to organisational coping strategies of local governments. Here, the focus is on strategies relevant for human resource management, since personnel costs account for one quarter to one third of the municipal budget in Germany and Poland. Fourth, the dissertation evaluates to wich extent the interviewees perceive the typical closure of the internal labour market in cases in times of cutbacks as generating unintended second order problems.

They do splits in midair. They cheer, yelp and cut loose with hijinks entirely unbecoming young military officers, be they gentlemen or gentlewomen. But then again, as President Reagan found out firsthand at Annapolis this spring, graduation from the three U.S. military academies—Army's West Point, Navy's Annapolis and Air Force's Colorado Springs—is a jubilant rite of passage. At Annapolis Reagan broke with tradition and shook hands with each of the 1,032 graduating midshipmen (including 75 women). The response was affectionate, including at least one kiss and an exuberant high-five. "He may have been a little taken aback, but he really seemed to enjoy himself," says Naval Academy spokesman Dennis Boxx.
There was ample cause for celebration. The midshipmen and cadets had survived a grueling four-year apprenticeship. (The cost of putting one student through Annapolis is $126,000, West Point, $174,700 and at the Air Force Academy, $150,000.) The newly minted officers are ecstatically happy to be leaving. As Nancy Laurenzano, 21, said triumphantly after collecting her Naval Academy diploma: "We came, we saw, we kicked ass."

Alabama has swiped one of Kentucky's top football recruits.
Montrell Custis, a 3-star defensive back from Lovejoy High School, switched his commitment from Kentucky to Alabama on Monday night.
Custis, the first cousin of Georgia Tech running back Travis Custis, had been the first commitment of Kentucky's 2015 recruiting class before changing his mind.
"Even though Kentucky was a great program from top to bottom, me and my family decided to go ahead and de-commit because Alabama has a great feel, and it just fits me the best," Custis told the AJC.
"They (Alabama) are like the godfathers of college football."
The 6-foot, 170-pound Custis joked with Alabama coach Nick Saban when he gave him the news.
"The type of person I am, I like to laugh and have fun but I'm still all about my business," Custis said. "(Saban) never smiles. I told him straight up, 'Coach, I'm about to make you smile.' He just giggled. I told him I was coming to Alabama."
The conversation didn't go as smoothly on Sunday when Custis called Kentucky assistant Derrick Ansley.
"That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do," Custis said. "They took it OK. Of course, they didn't want to let me go. But we just did what we had to do."
Custis said he has held an offer from Georgia Tech since his sophomore year. "Travis tried to get me to go to Georgia Tech, but it didn't go quite the way he planned. It's a great school, but it just wasn't the right fit for me."
What about UGA? Custis said he recently got an offer from UGA and attended a Junior Day a couple of weeks agoa. "I think Georgia is so close. I want to explore, and be on my own. If I went to Georgia, it would be like living with my mom. I ain't trying to do all of that."
Alabama has 10 commitments for 2015, including four from the state of Georgia.

Historical Horology: So, Who Made The First Chronograph?
When it comes to watches, there are generally two camps – those who are interested in where our modern watches originated from, and those who could care less. Now, the second camp, I am guessing we lost those people as soon as they saw the title of the post. Those of you left, well, welcome to the first camp. In today's entry in the Historical Horology series, we will talk about who created the first chronograph.

Ed McMahon's Foreclosure Saga Comes to a Close
The foreclosure saga surrounding the late Ed McMahon's longtime Beverly Hills mansion has come to a close.
Mr. McMahon, who passed away last year at age 86, became one of the first celebrities to face possibly losing his home to foreclosure. Now the investor who purchased the home's loan has quietly completed foreclosure proceedings on the home.
Dan Schryer, a technology and real-estate investor who purchased the loan had previously kept his name out of the public domain. He says he bought Mr. McMahon's loan both as an investment and as a way to give the McMahons a more dignified way to handle their difficult financial situation. "The overriding thing for me was doing a good deed" in allowing the couple to stay in their home, he says. (The McMahons paid him rent.)
In 2008, Mr. McMahon defaulted on a $4.8 million Countrywide Financial bank loan. After a whirlwind of press coverage surrounding the star's potential foreclosure, developer Donald Trump announced an attempt to buy the first lien mortgage from Countrywide. (The Journal reported that Mr. McMahon owed a total of around $7 million to Countrywide and other lenders.)
Eventually it was Mr. Schryer, who is based in San Francisco, who purchased the home's mortgage from the bank. He said throughout the process he got to know the McMahons. "They paid their rent on time and were great to work with," he says.
Mr. McMahon, who spent decades on TV, rose to fame as Johnny Carson's sidekick whose opening line "Heeeeerrre's Johnny!" became a pop culture catch phrase. He was also the original host of "Star Search" and appeared in several films. After a neck injury several years ago, he was no longer able to work.
"He's an icon for a lot of people," says Mr. Schryer. "So if I could help him out and make a reasonable investment at the same time, then why not?"
Though he declined to say what he paid for the mortgage, Mr. Schryer said he's made some improvements to the home, including updating the kitchen, and hopes to make a "modest return" when he sells it.
He plans to put it on the market early next year for around $4.5 million. The home listed over the summer for $4.6 million before the foreclosure was finalized.

Flip Benham: Homosexuality Is Satan's 'Pink-Colored Glove'
On last week's edition of the "Faith & Liberty" radio program, Flip Benham of the extremist right-wing group Operation Save America spoke with host Dave Garrison about the allegedly demonic trinity of legal abortion, LGBT rights, and Islam.
Benham characterized the Religious Right's opposition to reproductive rights, LGBT equality and the free exercise rights of Muslims as a consolidated effort to win in a "gospel battle" against Satan.
Benham even threw together a helpful analogy to properly identify evil wherever it may lurk. He explained that homosexuality, abortion and Islam represent different incarnations of "the devil's fist." While "the homosexual agenda is the pink-colored glove" covering "the fist of the Devil," abortion is Satan's "crimson glove stained with the blood of almost 60 million little baby boys and girls." Islam, simply enough, is "the black glove of death" that Satan uses to keep its followers trapped in "bondage."
Later, Benham surmised that the three issues are "three of the greatest physical manifestations of the battle between two seeds – the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman."
He lamented that while the Religious Right has been successful in rolling back reproductive health rights throughout the country, they still have their work cut out for them as far as LGBT rights are concerned. "It's the same battle, it's the same fist, we're fighting the Devil and his lies in the world and the flesh, and moving it to a thing called the homosexual agenda – and it's the Devil's agenda."

Hi. Mesh is the same as bridge mode? You mean no WiFi backhaul at all in autonomous mode?
Mesh is the same as bridge mode?
Bridging is something when we connect our AP's to Wired and try to send traffic wirelessly through Radio . Even we can do that with Mesh AP's. In other words Mesh AP can be used for Bridging where one AP connected to wired LAN and send traffic wirelessly to another location through one of the radios (preferably 5 GHz).
You mean no WiFi backhaul at all in autonomous mode?
Cisco 1550 AP's does not support autonomous mode and require a WLC to work. At this point 1550 AP's can either work in Mesh/Monitor mode (for site survey purposes).

The Detroit Red Wings have announced that the NHL Prospects Tournament, which the club annually hosts at Centre ICE Arena in Traverse City, Mich., has been canceled.
"Due to the uncertainty surrounding the Collective Bargaining Agreement and the advance commitments required from the various parties including hotels, airlines, teams, players and their families, etc., we have determined that it is in everyone's best interest to cancel this year's tournament," Red Wings GM Ken Holland said. "The Red Wings and the seven other NHL teams that were scheduled to participate are committed to returning to Traverse City in 2013 and continuing with this tremendous tournament."
Beside the Red Wings, this year's tournament was set to include entries from the Buffalo Sabres, Carolina Hurricanes, Columbus Blue Jackets, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues.

First flights with the new motor went very well, it has so much more power than the wimpy stock motor. My mount turned out to be fine, the gorilla glue filled in the gap around the one screw and it's very secure. The only problem was the ESC overheating, it's a 30 amp and I could only get a few seconds of full power before it shut off. I'm going to have to get a 45 amp.
The only thing that slightly annoying about the new motor is that I had to add nose weight to keep the plane balanced. I hope that once I have a telemetry module with a GPS sensor, I won't need the dead weight anymore.
Get an SBEC
I'll look into getting a wattmeter soon.

When I ran the same motor that hendrnk uses, I found that by cutting a small slot (for the speed controller wires) in the canopy and then mounting the ESC on top of the canopy really cooled the speed controller down even if I flew wot virtually all the flight.
It may sound ugly but at the end of the day, nobody could see the ESC in flight so, for me, at least, it didn't matter.
Interestingly, because I could never get the AXN to fly well after installing that motor, after about 3 months, I gave up and went back to the stock motor. I never did find MASSIVE amounts of speed with that motor because, quite honestly, the plane would sometimes do the weirdest of things with no warning so I was always waiting to have to suddenly shove in urgent commands to save the thing.
I'm NOT saying don't use that motor as I know other's have had great results. I'm saying that, for me, even though the stock motor's slower, I really appreciate KNOWING what the AXN's going to do which allows me to get away with all manner of daring stuff. Horses for courses I suppose.
Still, without arguing with anyone, I'd never say my stock motor was wimpy. Maybe I just lucky with my three AXN's?
By the way fwa2500, I also, liked the snow in the video as it takes me back to when I used to live in the UK. But it certainly does look much nicer than actually being IN the snow. I can still remember way back in the 1970's trying to get an i.c motor to start and run properly whilst I was standing on cold compacted snow. After an hour of this, I finally gave up but when I tried to stand (after being hunched over swearing and cursing the plane) I realised I couldn't feel my feet at all. Worse than that- my previously 'fine example' of manhood had shrivelled up into almost nothing.
I managed to stagger to my car and feebly drive 200 metres to my mums house. Even after an hour long bath in HOT water both I and my pec*er were looking worse for wear.
Fortunately both of us made a full recovery but ever since the sight of snow gets Mr Naughty very nervous.
The 4 inch pitch will pull less watts, and should give a bit more rpm. There's a good calculator for approximation on the Castle website.
The 6x4 3blade I'm running on the stock motor heats up the stock 25a esc pretty good when I am running it up static but its so cold outside that it never heats up even when flying WOT That's why I put my ESC on the outside and like Beanz said no one can see it while its in the air.

I.e. just get a bigger ESC all will be OK.
Beanz, I would still be using the regular motor if the lhs had 3mm prop adapters in stock. I didn't want to wait for slow hobbyking, and the local store wasn't going to re-stock them for awhile.
I'm not sure about mounting the esc on the outside, it could create some serious drag at high speeds. I think the 40-45 amp esc is still the best idea, no more messing around trying to get a 30 amp to work.
I found this thread on rcpowers about different props vs amp draw with the D2826-6. With a 6X5E the poster says it draws 21.2 amps, so I don't see why a 30amp esc wouldn't work.

As far as DRAG is concerned, I found zero noticeable difference with a 50A ESC taped to the canopy.
I also found that when I also taped a 200 gram digital camera to either;
1) The canopy near where it rests against the fuse nearest the motor
2) attached to the fuse underneath the wing area looking sideways towards the wing tips
3) Same position as 2 except looking downwards
This standard camera's dimensions were about 100mm wide X about 65mm high X about 25mm thick
In these positions, ONCE AIRBORNE I found my AXN still flew perfectly. (I did have to compensate a bit by trimming the plane's rudder and/or ailerons temporarily but once that was done it was fine. I got some stunning footage including some aerial views of a neighbour's house when he was looking to put the house on the market. From that video, he grabbed some still frames that were so clear they were used in the marketing of the house.
I did find the plane didn't glide quite as well but again, in no way was it any sort of a hindrance.
I do admit that I tend to be a bit blase' at times. I could easily have used my keychain camera but as my digital camera was 12mp and I wanted to get some REALLY clear video, I just decided to take the chance. I've since flown dozens of times with this heavy camera with no problems.
I make the illustrations above, just as a way of pointing out that, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED a piddly ESC on top of the canopy has very little drag effect on my AXN. I'm guessing yours should be no different.

Again on the subject of drag, you may already be aware that commercial aircraft (747's etc) can actually carry an extra engine attached to their wing. I tried downloading a photo but gave up as it was probably too big. But here's one;
It just shows that if a 747 can carry that extra lump of (non-powered) metal for thousands of miles, an external ESC on an AXN isn't much of a problem.
My apologies if I'm labouring on the subject. Just trying to help rather than prove any points.

The Citadel and Google are looking for brilliant, creative, fun-loving young minds
Registration is now open for Storm The Citadel! 2014 trebuchet competition. The Citadel's STEM Center of Excellence and Google will host the popular event on the college's campus, Feb. 15. Teams of elementary, middle, high school and college students, as well as teams from community groups, the military, and South Carolina businesses compete to design, build and launch a trebuchet. A trebuchet is a machine that was used in medieval siege warfare for hurling large stones or other missiles. Storm The Citadel! competitors will launch small rubber balls (in the Hoplite, K-5 Division) or lacrosse balls, with awards given for accuracy, distance, spirit and design.
To compete, teams must complete an online application by Dec. 15. Teams in the Hoplite Division will receive a trebuchet kit. All student teams (K-12) can request mentoring support and apply for funds to help with team expenses.
To assist teams in preparing for the competition, The Citadel will host a free physics workshop on Jan. 13 for mentors and teachers of registered teams in all divisions. To register a group for the competition or to learn more, please visit the Storm The Citadel! website or visit the competition's Facebook page. The event draws a large crowd of enthusiastic onlookers; there is no admission charge.
Storm The Citadel! 2014 will kick off the college's Eweek events, which are held in conjunction with National Engineers Week. The intent is to introduce Lowcountry students to engineering fields and activities. The Citadel has the fifth oldest engineering school in the United States.

Angela Lansbury Calls Murder, She Wrote Reboot a 'Mistake'
The 88-year-old actress said she's a fan of Octavia Spencer, who is set to star in a rebooted version of the hit TV show, saying, "I wish her well, but I wish it wasn't in Murder, She Wrote."
Speaking to the Associated Press about the honorary Academy Award she'll accept in Los Angeles later this week, Lansbury said Sunday Murder, She Wrote was "the greatest doorway to the world" because of the international popularity of lead character Jessica Fletcher.
Lansbury was already a Tony-winning actress and three-time Oscar nominee when she joined the show, which aired from 1984 to 1996 and brought her worldwide acclaim.
Representatives for Spencer had no immediate comment.
