Technology has come a long way in terms of communications, especially in emergency management.
Satellites, the Internet and other forms of technology have contributed greatly to keep people in touch when disaster strikes. But a form of communication that is almost a century old is still the most reliable way to stay in contact.
Ham radios are still in use today, and they play a key part in emergency plans. The devices are a central component of Levy County's communications tools.
Marilyn Ladner has been selected as the new provost at the College of Central Florida's Levy Center.
Ladner takes over for Interim Director Dr. Susan Chappell. Currently the manager of Corporate Training at CF, Ladner is expected to begin at the Levy Center in mid-August. She will also be the college's executive director of College Planning.
"It is so exciting," she said by phone last Thursday. "I'm just walking on air. I was hoping this might happen and it did. I can't wait to be more of a part of this area and this project."
The Florida Baptist Mobile Dental Unit will be coming to First Baptist Church of Chiefland Aug. 2 through 5.
Pre-screening for dental services—extractions and simple fillings only—is required and will take place Saturday, July 24, at the church beginning at 9 a.m.
Applicants coming to the pre-screening must bring valid identification, and the clinic will not provide services to anyone under the age of 6.
Yankeetown Town Council member Jack Schofield, critic of the proposed Tarmac King Road limerock mine, has raised questions about whether the company owes tangible property taxes on a drag line.
The drag line, sitting in pieces at the site of the company's test pit, which Schofield and other Yankeetown residents want closed, is not subject to tax, said Tarmac officials because state law does not levy a tax on items not producing revenue.
n City one step closer to tapping well
The city commission voted 4-0 Monday night to allow City Manager Grady Hartzog to move ahead with the third phase of a project that would bring the city's water line closer to its new well head No. 5. Commissioner Rollin Hudson was absent for the vote.
"It's a great idea. We've been needing to do this," said Vice-Mayor Teresa Barron at the meeting.
Executives with Ameris Health Systems, the company that plans to build a hospital in Chiefland, are still awaiting a decision from the governor's office on the reallocation of tax-free bonds.
Sam Lewis, chief executive officer and president of Ameris, said recently that Gov. Charlie Crist has an executive order on his desk to consolidate and reallocate about $840 million of unspent tax-free bonds for shovel-ready projects like the hospital throughout the state.
Levy County's unemployment rate jumped from 12.6 percent in May to 13.1 percent in June, a 0.7 percent increase.
In personal terms, the number of people wihtout a job in the county's workforce rose from from 2,049 to 2,158.
The story was much the same for Marion County which posted a 13.9 percent rate up by 0.3 percent, and Citrus County where the rate rose 0.6 percent to 13.3 percent.
The School Board of Levy County's estimated budget for the 2010-2011 school year appears to be in decent shape, considering the recent economic downturn.
After that, however, the future doesn't look so bright.
The board held its first budget workshop on Tuesday, before its twice monthly board meeting, to discuss potential fiscal changes for the next school year.
The Levy County Commission got some good news this past week from County Property Appraiser Oz Barker: property values are not down as much as earlier anticipated.
Barker, who sent over the ubiquitous form DR420S Certification of Taxable Value that comissioners use in setting a tentative budget and property tax millage rate, had anticipated a 7 percent drop in value. But the decrease is 5.5 percent on property valued at $1,871,247,226.
That could be good news for the reeling real estate market where values have been sinking for three years.
After establishing almost a year ago that a Chiefland sinkhole has a direct underground connection to Manatee Springs, state agencies said they have no plan in place to address the stormwater that feeds directly into the cavernous mouth located just blocks from City Hall.
A document from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection does, however, state that state agencies are still awaiting the completion of a Basin Action Management Plan (BMAP), which could call for testing of the water. But the BMAP could be as far as 18 months from completion.

Include time.h function
Hi all,
I'm trying to use the C function time() in my program but it keeps complaining "called object is not a function" but I've already included the header file. #include <sys/time.h>
Does this mean it doesn't find the header file and so it does not recognize the function? thanx in advance.
Re: Include time.h function
Most compilers would give you a "file not found" type of error if an include file is not found. Whether or not the file is in sys or not depends upon the compiler. Have you checked for the presence of the file?
Header files do not include the actual functions. They merely declare their form. The library that contains the actual code must be present and be able to be found during the linker phase. This is unlikely to be the problem with something like time, though.
You should always give information about your system, OS, and compiler; particularly for stranger behavior regarding system library code. Perhaps you could also show a snippet of the code where the error occurs, in case of syntax errors at or shortly before the point where the error is flagged.
Re: Include time.h function
ops.. i figured it out. I actually had another variable name int time which was causing the problem. Thanx ..
Re: Include time.h function
Ahhh, the beauty of C++ and namespaces :D.

#$%$. Opinions on what is causing the drop, is it interest rates?
No idea why this is happening. But this is just a short term sliding. It will go up soon for sure since both revenue and profits are up quarter over quarter. This is an excellent performance.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I'm not so sure about that. Something is up. The price closed below book value today. The stock price has dropped more than 20% from the highs. It's as if there's bad news that hasn't come out yet, or investors don't believe the management team can deliver. I'll guess we'll find out soon enough.
I hope so, I have been holding this a long time and hate to see it start going the other way.

It was Bob Arum doing his job. Raising suggestions that the boxer he promotes is ready, willing and able to accept a fight against the best possible opponent. Read it with dollar signs.
Well, that's nice to think about anyway. But Arum's words created no good will with the other side. In particular, it was his suggestions fans boycott Floyd Mayweather's next fight to build pressure for Mayweather to fight his man, Manny Pacquiao.
Asked if they want it, boxing fans would say something like: "Yes, please."
But putting it the way he did, Arum elicited this response from Richard Schaefer, honcho of Mayweather's management company.
"He sure knows how to get something done: by telling people to boycott Floyd's fight, calling it a terrible matchup," Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, told the Los Angeles Times.
"Is that how you negotiate or create goodwill? It doesn't make me want to say things that would leave hope for that fight, because I don't believe he wants the fight. This is how you do things when you don't want to get things done."
What does that mean? Schaefer has every right to be ticked at Arum. It could also be a public posturing by Schaefer.
What's for sure is, Arum pulled no punches in his rant against Schaefer. Pacquiao didn't let up on Timothy Bradley en route to victory.
Now it's time to see how Mayweather does May 7 against Marcos Maidana.
While we waits for the next flurry — from Arum, from Schaefer or from Mayweather — here's the schedule of major boxing events.

Washington vs. Oregon State
Pacific 10 Conference Tournament
When: 8:30 p.m. tonight
Where: Staples Center in Los Angeles
Records: UW 21-9, 11-7 Pac-10, OSU 14-16, 8-10
On the air: TV on FSN, radio on KPAM (860)
Probable starters: OSU - G Seth Tarver (10.9 ppg, 4.7 rpg), G Calvin Haynes (12.7 ppg), G Jared Cunningham (5.4 ppg), F Daniel Deane (3.3 ppg), F/C Roeland Schaftenaar (8.9 ppg, 3.8 rpg). UW - G Isaiah Thomas (17.2 ppg), G Abdul Gaddy (4.2 ppg), F Matthew Bryan-Amaning (8.7 ppg, 5.8 rpg), F Justin Holiday (5.3 ppg, 4.2 rpg), F Quincy Pondexter (20.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg).
Briefly: Huskies - who have won six straight games over OSU - are the No. 3 seed in the tourney, while OSU is the No. 6 seed. ... the teams met Saturday in Corvallis in their final regular season game, with UW winning 82-70 behind Bryan-Amaning (22 points, 11 rebounds), Thomas (19) and Pondexter (18 points). ... OSU hasn't won a Pac-10 tournament game since March 8, 2006, when it beat Arizona State 71-68. ... the UW/OSU winner meets the Arizona State-Stanford winner Friday night in the semifinals. ... OSU worked in practice this week on stopping Thomas' penetration and trying to make sure Pondexter and Bryan-Amaning don't have their way inside. … if OSU's defense isn't appreciably better and the Beavers' extended 1-3-1 isn't bothering the Huskies and causing turnovers, coach Craig Robinson's team will need to play lights out on offense. That probably means major contributions will be needed on the scoring front from freshman G Cunningham and freshman big man Joe Burton. … some numbers: OSU leads the Pac-10 in steals (8.2 per game) and three-point defense (30.7 percent) while ranking third in scoring defense (61.1) and fourth in FG percentage defense (42.5) behind Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Seth Tarver. … UW is the Pac-10's highest-scoring team (80.5) and has led the conference in scoring four of the last six years. … UW and OSU both commented this week on old basketball adage that it's difficult to beat a team three times in one season. ... Beavers hope there is something to it. ... if OSU loses tonight and finishes the season 14-17, Robinson said he would welcome another College Basketball Invitational bid if it was extended. Last season, OSU was added to the CBI field with a 13-17 record and wound up not only stretching its season by six games but winning the tournament after making the financial commitment to pay upwards of $60,000 for each of the three home CBI games it hosted (Houston, Vermont, Stanford). The Beavers upset UTEP in the best-of-three CBI finals. ... said Robinson, on OSU's post-season outlook, "I'm all for playing as long as the guys want to keep playing.''
Quotes: "Right now we're not thinking about the NIT, or the CBI, or anything else but this tournament and going as far as we can.'' - Haynes.
"We need to hold on to our guts and go on a three-game run here.'' - Robinson.
"But you just got to get right back up. You can't let them think they hurt you or anything like that.'' - UW G Isaiah Thomas, on the perils of trying to get past OSU's 1-3-1.

I am just saying the object reference has two pieces to it, like a YURL might. I'm not saying they have to be distinct pieces of the YURL, just that there's some algorithm to pull out the account if the kernel requires it. It might be transparent to the user. It might be a signature or an encrypted piece of text, similar to managing domains, section 13. Maybe we should try to clairify the difference between capabilities and public key encryption, since Jed has married them in my brain. My understanding is that the capability is what is encrypted or signed. encrypting or signing something doesn't alone give you any authority. Thus the 2-factor capability is the marriage between your public key identity and the normal capability. They must go together to allow the system to work. The capability must be signed by the system for it to be used as a capability. The system will only honor capabilities that are signed by an account holder, and that account must be in the system's public key ring- AN ACL! I'm getting tired of treating capabilities separately from ACLS when they can be clearly used together. Read Jed's paper! Argh! No wonder everyone's frustrated with capability people! John

Highway dedicated to fallen officer
Portion of U.S. 68 renamed "Danny Hay Memorial Highway"
Officials in Maysville dedicated part of a highway to a police officer who was killed in the line of duty.
The Ledger-Independent reported that a portion of U.S. 68 has been renamed the Danny Hay Memorial Highway. Signs have been posted along the highway to honor the 22-year-old Hay, who had just started with the Maysville Police Department in 1979 when he was dispatched to investigate a robbery at a store and was fatally shot.
The newspaper reported Hay is the only Maysville police officer killed in the line of duty.
The officer's brother, Phillip Hay, said he was pleased with the highway signs, which would serve as a tribute to his sibling.

Basking at the Beach: My Personal Favorites2012-06-15 3 5 Share Tweet
Summer time. It's the season for sun, sand, and waves. And in the Philippines, summers are scorching hot, with temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius on a typical summer day. To cool off, Pinoys love to go to the beach, slather on some sunscreen and have a cool dip in the ocean or at the pool. Over the years, I've collected lots of family photos on the beach. Here are some of my favorites.
Over the years, I have collected lots of family vacation pictures of our escapades to the beach. Mostly our trips were at different resorts in Batangas City because it's nearest to where we are. Since I got started with analog photography a few years ago, I always make it a point to bring one or two film cameras with me when going to the beach. Also for super sunny days on the beach, I prefer to use slide films because I just love the color tones it brings to the photos.
Here are some of my favorite subjects while on the beach:
Our fishy friends. From weird looking starfishes, corals, and other aquatic creatures, they're always interesting to look at.
Other beach-loving people and the surroundings. Just random shots of other people who also enjoy spending time at the beach.
My family. Of course, no trips are complete without getting some candid shots of my family having fun.
Now that summer's officially over for this year, I will surely look forward to next year's summer vacation. Thanks for reading!
Cameras used for the photos were Fisheye 2, Lubitel 166+ and Ricoh KR5SII.
Fisheye No. 2 has a 170-degree wide angle view and stunning barrel distortion. Now with a hotshoe and multiple and long exposure capabilities, the world's greatest compact Fisheye camera is now more amazing than you ever thought possible! Available in different colours and special designs.

OVERVIEW DECO 7-Pan Europe 2's class C to H notes suffered an interest shortfall on the October 2011 interest payment date. The shortfall follows a revaluation of the assets backing the loan, and the subsequent appraisal reduction that limits the liquidity facility drawings for the Karstadt Kompakt loan. We believe the risk of principal losses, as a result of the new valuation, has eroded the creditworthiness of the class C to H notes. As a result, we have lowered our ratings on the class C to G notes. The class H notes are already rated 'D (sf)'. DECO 7 is a CMBS transaction that closed in 2006 and is backed by six loans secured on properties in Germany, Switzerland, and...

Highway Safety Initiatives
Rural Fatal Crashes—Reasonable Solutions
By Richard J. Ashton, Chief of Police (Retired), Frederick, Maryland; and Grant/ Technical Management Manager, IACP
This is the second of two columns dealing with Rural Fatal Crashes. The first appeared in the January 2010 issue.
ast month's column defined the scope of rural fatal crashes, which can be mitigated effectively by harnessing the four Es of highway safety: education, emergency medical services (EMS), enforcement, and engineering.
Law enforcement needs both accurate and timely crash data, which then can be analyzed quickly to pinpoint what is causing collisions at particular locations and times. While it can allocate its limited resources to affect these incidents, it also can involve its transportation partners to tackle the engineering challenges of rural roadways and media outlets to educate drivers of problems and forthcoming actions. Agencies might consider maximizing their efforts by targeting simultaneously both crimes and crashes through initiatives such as Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS), jointly operated by NHTSA, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the National Institute of Justice.1
Shoulder rumble strips have proven quite effective in preventing roadway departure crashes. They have alerted drivers distracted by alcohol or other drugs, fatigue, or other inattention and simultaneously have afforded law enforcement officers and other roadside workers opportunities to escape imminent danger. Building on their effectiveness, the Washington State Department of Transportation, along with the states of Iowa and Missouri,2 has achieved success with centerline rumble strips. Washington's analysis of highways before and after their installation yielded a 57 percent reduction in serious injury and fatal crossover collisions.3
Improving signage on horizontal curves appears to be another cost-effective approach to reducing deaths. A Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) study of 89 sites in Connecticut, where warning or curve delineation signs were upgraded, and of 139 sites in the state of Washington, where only chevrons were installed, found that the improved demarcation of curves led to "substantial and highly significant crash reductions—injury and fatal (18 percent), dark conditions (27.5 percent), and dark condition lane departure (25.4 percent)."4 FHWA estimated that the annualized cost per curve would be between $160 and $343, depending upon the cost per sign.
The lack of public transportation in rural areas can present significant challenges to both alcohol-impaired offenders and their families. If those convicted are breadwinners and are fortunate enough to still be gainfully employed, they face a catch-22, since they are obliged to support their families, but find themselves without transportation to their jobs. This realistically may encourage those offenders to drive after conviction and driver's license suspension; the prospect of apprehension prior to involvement in a crash may be remote in rural areas. However, ignition interlocks may offer a viable alternative—but by no means a panacea—to individuals in this situation and have been quite successful in New Mexico. Also, police agencies using automated license plate recognition technology might consider programming their units to scan for the registration plates of those on probation for alcohol offenses and mandated to use ignition interlocks, so their whereabouts can be more effectively monitored.
Low-staffing sobriety checkpoints, coupled with saturation patrols, also can demonstrate economically law enforcement's seriousness in addressing the impaired driving problem. Bringing together officers and deputies from smaller rural agencies can promote cooperation and camaraderie and can be a force multiplier. Low-Staffing Sobriety Checkpoints was tailored to provide specific guidance to smaller agencies wishing to implement sobriety checkpoints consistent with their resources.5 While the Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Department no longer serves a rural population, it institutionalized checkpoints in 2003, essentially using one onduty officer from each of its eight districts to man weekly four-hour checkpoints or directed patrols coordinated by its Traffic Safety Division at locations recommended by the districts, and remains a viable model for reducing crashes and increasing arrests without incurring overtime costs.
NHTSA predicts that the full implementation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126, requiring the installation of electronic stability control systems by Model Year 2012 in 100 percent of passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 pounds or less, will reduce between 42 percent to 55 percent the more than 10,000 deaths each year that result from rollover crashes alone.6
Maryland provides a blueprint for emergency medicine, opening in 1960 what would become the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center with the Maryland State Police initiating medevacs in 1969, and inaugurating the first statewide EMS system in 1973.7 Significantly, Dr. R. Adams Cowley built the Shock Trauma Center on the "Golden Hour" premise: "There is a golden hour between life and death. If you are critically injured you have less than 60 minutes to survive. You might not die right then; it may be three days or two weeks later—but something has happened in your body that is irreparable."8
Other opportunities to considerably improve medical responses in rural crashes are being explored. Focused training, like the Guide For Preparing Medical Directors, a Web-based course aimed at improving the quality of treatment prior to arrival at a medical facility,9 expands the competence of first responders; and programs, like OnStar by GM's Automatic Crash Response,10 can determine via global positioning system (GPS) technology the exact location of crashes and can assess the severity of the injuries sustained based upon the type of crash detected, allowing appropriate assistance to be promptly dispatched to precise locations.
Regrettably, there is no silver bullet available to eliminate all fatalities in rural areas. However, past efforts, current developments, and the ingenuity of those embodying the four Es will continue to reduce crashes and save lives. ■

Even with the disaster that was Adam Wainwright's latest start, St. Louis Cardinal fans have to feel pretty good about their team's chances to lock up the NL Central.
However, with the Pittsburgh Pirates enjoying their best season since 1992 and the Reds right in the thick of things again, the Cardinals will have their work cut out for them as the season winds down.
But with a number of positive things going the Cardinals' way, following are three reasons why they have the advantage over both the Pirates and Reds down the season stretch.

Creating PDFs in iWork Pages for Print
Start by Ensuring You Have a "Poster-sized" Poster:
1. Make sure you've got the Inspector visible. Do this by going to the View menu and selecting "Show Inspector". If all you find is "Hide Inspector", the Inspector should already be visible on your screen.
2. Click on the icon on the top left corner of the Inspector, and you should see this:
3. If the Page Size listed is not the size of the poster you wanted to create, click on the Page Setup button. But before you do...
Be aware that in changing the Page Size, you may have to resize the elements on your page to adequately match the new page size. It also helps to change your paper size to something that is proportional to your current page size. For example, in the image above, the current paper size is 11" x 17". In seeking to enlarge it, it's helpful to double or triple those numbers, or to do some more fine tuned math to keep the numbers proportional.
4. In the Page Setup dialog box, choose "Manage Custom Sizes" from the Paper Size drop down menu, and set the page size you'd like. Do this by:
- clicking on the plus sign to create a new page.
- Double clicking your new page to give it a recognizable name
- Typing in the dimensions of the page that you want. For most posters, set the borders to 0.
- Click OK
Your new page size should be selected in the Paper Size drop down menu. Click OK. Your Pages document will now be the size that will translate to a poster print-ready PDF.
Save Your Finished Poster as a PDF:
1. Select File on the toolbar and click "Export...".
2. Make sure that the PDF box on the top left is highlighted, and click "Next".
3. Name the file in the "Save As" box. (INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME IN THE FILE NAME, please)
4. Click "Export".
Once you have saved the PDF, open the PDF and make sure it looks ok.

This is the most beautiful superwash i have ever used. It feels beautiful to knit with and it holds a stitch firmly, which makes it perfect for these socks. When i first brought these to class the other knitters were skeptical, but after trying them on they agreed it's all in the fit. The top drapes gently around your arch, allowing the ball and heel of the foot to rest (not grip, there is no gripping in yoga!) directly on the floor.

Kitchen Play: OREO Turtles
Author: Susan Palmer
Technically the caramel sauce I made is butterscotch, but we are just going to call it "brown sugar caramel" for now. I like to use this shortcut method when I want to whip up a quick caramel sauce.
For the caramel sauce:
½ cup brown sugar (light or dark), packed
¼ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
pinch of salt
For the OREO turtles:
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, no more than 70%
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
18 Double Stuf OREOS
For the caramel:
In a small sauce pan over medium heat, melt the brown sugar, heavy cream and butter together until combined and it comes to a low boil. Stirring often.
Whisk in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce is nice and thick and has a lovely golden caramel color. Set aside to cool slight. If you like you can transfer to a squeeze bottle for easy serving.
For the OREO Turtles:
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler until smooth.
Remove and set your station so the chocolate, OREOs and pecans are all lined up.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a cooling rack on top.
Dip the OREOs in melted chocolate and transfer to the cooling rack, top with ½ tablespoon of pecans. Repeat with remaining OREOs.
Once all the OREOs are dipped in chocolate and topped with pecans, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top either with a spoon or with a squeeze bottle.
Transfer to your freezer or refrigerator to set up.

In his concession speech, Vice President Al Gore expressed his disagreement with the Supreme Court decision. He also expressed his desire for the divided United States to come together behind President-elect George W. Bush.
After reading the very critical letters and columns of Gore's supporters, I have come to the conclusion that all listened to his view of the Supreme Court. No one listened to his wish that the nation come together behind President-elect Bush.
Drop the anchors, we're drowning
A pox on the national electronic media anchors and their wanna-bes.
Base partisanship has worn through the thin veneer of their objective reporting.
The public continues to have a right to know, but that right is presumed to extend to informational facts unenhanced, unembellished, unrestricted, unrestrained or otherwise infected with the rancor of the anchor.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
He says Chitika made a few adjustments to make the difference between the unaudited and audited stats smaller. Since December 1st they now immediately remove clicks from unsupported countries.
The blogger replied to Venkat's e-mail stating his revenue dropped over 50% in December, while his earnings only dropped 15% from the unaudited to the audited numbers.
Ventak didn't answer his question directly but he explained Chitika is seeing a lot of fluctuations in the CPCs, CTRs and CPMs since they started integrating a variety of merchant feeds from Europe.
Ventak also said Chitika is working on optimizing the ad units to find a right balance between varying CPCs across feeds from multiple regions and maximize overall eCPM and speed up the auditing process.
Since Chitika introduced the geo targeting I'm noticing the same. My revenue has dropped a lot, Chitika is still profitable for me but I'm quite disappointed. In October the eMiniMalls made me about twice as much as AdSense but now the revenue from Chitika is about 10-15% lower than my AdSense earnings.
By the way, I find it quite strange Chitika didn't send out an e-mail or posted this on their blog..
Do you think with the December 1st changes, "what we're seeing is what we're getting" for the most part?
As I've said in other threads, I've stuck with Chitika but will not if I take huge 40-70% cuts like others because then I'll be losing money. If the December figures are a more accurate representation of what I'm actually making, I'll be adding more Chitika ads to my site instead of reducing it since learning of some of the huge cuts.
I haven't been audited yet and must wait until the end of the month. Audit days for Nov. and Dec. will be THE days of reckoning!
By the way, I find it quite strange Chitika didn't send out an e-mail or posted this on their blog..
Really? I guess they thought there had been enough bad news about Chitika lately.
They really need a good PR person!
I hope so Digicam, since december 1st my clicks are about 15 percent down from november.
I can live with those figures as only 85-80 percent of my traffic is u.s based. However I took a 45 percent hit on the last audit.
Still this is a step in the right direction from Chitika.
Do you think it will be worth the wait?!
Did anyone notice that their Average Cost Per Click is dropping too. For me,it's between a 10-25 cents drop. Then when we get audited and possibly slashed 50-70%?!?!?!? No recent updates at the Chitika blog about any of this.
Can't help but wonder how they're going to fare after the Christmas holidays. Anyone else concerned?
As an aside, no much chatter a WebmasterWorld about Chitika any more...Wonder if most have stopped using it.
Updated reporting process: During the first week of December, we made some enhancements to our daily reporting system. Key changes:
Daily filtering of clicks from countries currently not supported in the eMiniMalls program: Instead of waiting till the end of the month for the audit process to filter out non-revenue earning clicks from unsupported countries, we are now filtering out those clicks from the daily reports. Please note though that daily reports are for directional purposes only. The final revenues are calculated after the audit process that takes into consideration factors like click fraud, merchant feedback, merchant chargebacks, etc. Our goal is to continue enhancing the reporting process as much as possible and decrease the differences between the daily and monthly (post audit) stats.
Faster daily updates: You can expect to see a faster turn around time for the daily reports.
Expansion into Europe:
Following our expansion into UK, we have now begun phased testing of regional merchants listings in the following countries: France, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden, and Netherlands. With geo-targeting in place, we are now able to display regional promotions and offers to visitors from Europe.
I'm surprised by the faster daily updates, I just checked my account and it was updated about 8-9h earlier than usual.
Yesteday, I wrote a personal email to Venkat Kolluri...and my major question was addressed in their most recent Blog entry. I was very forthright in what I said about why I have stayed with Chitika, my current concerns and reasons I would drop them or, alternatively, add more of their code to my site.
I ended my email by asking them to keep publishers like me better informed:
"Please do provide more information to those of us who have stuck with Chitika."
The final revenues are calculated after the audit process that takes into consideration factors like click fraud, merchant feedback, merchant chargebacks, etc.
It's interesting how they keep adding to the list about what's involved in reducing revenue via the audit. However, that's not the main point. Publishers deserve a fairly accurate picture of their daily income. No one will stick around for long if their expected revenue is subject to drastic cuts, when those cuts render Chitika income less than if we had left ads for AdSense or Yahoo Publishers Network in place.

Welcome to the work of a school secretary.
For 40 hours a week, Christi Flatt encounters different tasks as a Woodlands Elementary School secretary.
Flatt's workday starts at 7:30 a.m. Within the next hour, some of her main responsibilities include taking calls from parents who report their sick children and getting students who are late to class.
During the rest of her workday, she orders supplies and updates records, including attendance for 250 students.
Organizational duties include taking messages from callers and making sure they are received.
"You kind of keep up with what everybody in the building needs to know," she said.
Her job mainly deals with phone calls - 20 on a slow day - and financial records.
Flatt points office visitors in the right direction.
Flatt likes the business side of the job as well as the social aspects.
She said she likes to interact with students who visit the school's office for a telephone call, to drop off an item for a teacher or to talk about what he or she did over the weekend.
"They come in for crazy reasons," she said.
Flatt, 28, who started work at the school in May 1999, enjoys her job.
"It provides a lot of different experiences because you run across all kinds of things," she said.

• To improve our understanding of posttransplant infections, we analyzed bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and other infections in 604 consecutive recipients of kidney (n = 518), kidney-pancreas (n = 82), kidney-liver (n = 3), or kidney-islet (n = 1) allografts (355 cadaveric, 14 living-unrelated, 235 living-related donors) who also received cyclosporine, azathioprine, and prednisone immunosuppression. Recipients of cadaveric grafts received additional induction immunosuppression (antilymphocyte globulin or murine monoclonal antibody OKT3). Rejection episodes were treated with high-dose steroids, and either antilymphocyte globulin or OKT3 was administered when clinically indicated. Perioperative antibiotics and posttransplant prophylactic acyclovir sodium or ganciclovir sodium, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and clotrimazole or nystatin (Mycostatin) were administered to all recipients. Two hundred thirteen patients (35.3%) were found to have had no identifiable infections, while 391 (64.7%) had either isolated bacterial (97 [16.1 %]), viral (53 [8.8%]), or fungal (34 [5.6%]) infections or combination (concurrent or sequential) infections with bacterial plus viral (46 [7.6%]), bacterial plus fungal (66 [10.9%]), viral plus fungal (20 [3.3%]), bacterial plus viral plus fungal (64 [10.6%]), or bacterial plus viral plus fungal plus parasitic (11 [1.8%]) pathogens in the posttransplantation period. Renal allograft survival (percentage, actuarial method) was diminished in patients with infections at both 1 year (91% vs 83%) and 3 years (81% vs 76%) after transplantation, as was actuarial patient survival (1 year, 97% vs 92%; 3 years, 93% vs 88%). We conclude that infection remains a major cause of both patient demise and allograft loss following successful solid-organ transplantation.

When do you stop spending money on the old car, hoping to get a little more use out of it? That's a dilemma many families have, and so do governing bodies.
High Bridge Borough Council initially seemed split on the question about fixing up an old police car, when the matter came up at the Feb. 14 meeting. Mayor Mark Desire thought he might have to break a tie. The issue: whether to spend about $8,000 for a new engine on a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria, or junk it, putting the money toward outfitting other cars in the fleet.
Councilwoman Karen Scarcia reported on her committee's research, saying the broken-down car has been sitting at Valley Service in Califon since November. The borough recently bought two new Ford Interceptor models for the police. The car is based on the Taurus and successor to the Crown Vic. But only one is fully equipped for police use, with the other requiring perhaps $5,000 to $7,000 in equipment, she said.
Councilman Tom Flynn noted that the transmission in the car was replaced last summer, and it has a warranty. However, Councilman Michael Stemple added that there's a deductible, and also the cost of "down time" if the car breaks down again.
Another Crown Vic was in an accident last year and most of its police equipment was either destroyed or not transferable to the new car.
Scarcia noted that replacing the engine doesn't guarantee that something else won't fail on the car shortly. Council members engaged in a long discussion of the alternatives, fixing vs. junking.
"It's clearly not an easy decision," Stemple remarked.
The mayor suggested they all think about it a bit, and come back to the issue later in the meeting. When that happened, Dean Rapp, Victoria Miller, Stemple and Flynn voted to replace the engine, while Lynn Hughes and Scarcia were opposed.

This collection of quotes demonstrates the elegant simplicity of Ai Weiwei's thoughts on key aspects of his art, politics, and life. A master at communicating powerful ideas in astonishingly few words, Ai Weiwei is known for his innovative use of social media to disseminate his views. The short quotations presented here have been carefully selected from articles, tweets, and interviews given by this acclaimed Chinese artist and activist. The book is organized into six categories: freedom of expression; art and activism; government, power, and moral choices; the digital world; history, the historical moment, and the future; and personal reflections. Together, these quotes span some of the most revealing moments of Ai Weiwei's eventful career--from his risky investigation into student deaths in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to his arbitrary arrest in 2011--providing a window into the mind of one of the world's most electrifying and courageous contemporary artists. Select Quotes from the Book: On Freedom of Expression *"Say what you need to say plainly, and then take responsibility for it." *"A small act is worth a million thoughts." *"Liberty is about our rights to question everything." On Art and Activism *"Everything is art. Everything is politics." *"The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay." *"Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it. I don't feel that much anger. I equally have a lot of joy." On Government, Power, and Making Moral Choices *"Once you've tasted freedom, it stays in your heart and no one can take it. Then, you can be more powerful than a whole country." *"I feel powerless all the time, but I regain my energy by making a very small difference that won't cost me much." *"Tips on surviving the regime: Respect yourself and speak for others. Do one small thing every day to prove the existence of justice." On the Digital World *"Only with the Internet can a peasant I have never met hear my voice and I can learn what's on his mind. A fairy tale has come true." *"The Internet is uncontrollable. And if the Internet is uncontrollable, freedom will win. It's as simple as that." *"The Internet is the best thing that could have happened to China." On History, the Historical Moment, and the Future *"If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future." *"We need to get out of the old language." *"The world is a sphere, there is no East or West." Personal Reflections *"I've never planned any part of my career-- except being an artist. And I was pushed into that corner because I thought being an artist was the only way to have a little freedom." *"Anyone fighting for freedom does not want to totally lose their freedom." *"Expressing oneself is like a drug. I'm so addicted to it."show more

Review quote
One of The Village Voice's Favorite Books for 2012 One of Big Think's Best Art Books of 2012 One of Huffington Post's Best Art Books for 2012, List of the 50 Greatest Creative Publications "Warsh has collected statements from Weiwei on topics ranging from technology to Twitter, freedom of speech to the power of action, and creativity to morality. Although loosely divided into chapters, the book and its brief but powerful quotations all reference back to humanity and the rights of all its members. Unfailingly pithy and refreshingly modest, the book reads quickly and conversationally. Inspirational through its simplicity and generating feelings of complicity, Weiwei succeeds in creating obsessed readers and his desire for obsessed citizens, in China and the world at large, cannot be far behind."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "[H]ere is a man who understands how to get messages to people. His expertise in artful dissemination is the 21st-century equivalent of Andy Warhol's brilliant populism... [E]pigrammatic, pungent, uncompromising."--Peter Aspden, Financial Times "Physically Weiwei-isms is a black, small hardbound book, fitting nicely into a jacket pocket and meant to be carried around, perused at chance moments and ruminated on. It knowingly bears a resemblance to the little red books that were given out by Chairman Mao in order to popularize his philosophies to his subjects. Yet, brainwashing is not the dastardly attempt of the author this time; it is more akin to brain-widening. Take a look for yourself. I feel safe in saying that some statement, one of his turns of phrase, will hit you like a punch in the gut, likely leaving an emotional bruise that will take great time and thought to recover from."--Luke Goldstein, Blogcritics "If it's even possible to put a whole person into your pocket, Weiwei-isms comes close... Unlike The Little Red Book, carrying Weiwei-isms isn't compulsory, but you'll find yourself compelled to read it again and again and fit it into your head and heart, if not your pocket."--Bob Duggan, Big Think "For those who have been moved by his struggles with the Chinese authorities, who admire his art or dance along to his irreverent interpretation of Psy's 'Gangnam Style', taken up by artists and museums across the world on YouTube, Ai Weiwei's little book of sayings is for you."--Sarah Greenberg, Editor of RA Magazine "This little book collects Ai's aphorisms, or 'Weiwei-isms,' distilled thoughts culled from Ai's writings, interviews, and Twitter posts on freedom of expression, human rights, art and activism, power and the government, and moral choices... As brilliant and serious as Ai is, he is also companionable and uplifting."--Booklist "Although this book, a collection of quotes from Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, is only four by five inches in dimension, it contains powerful and dangerous ideas. Powerful for general readers: 'Creativity is part of human nature. It can only be untaught.' And dangerous to China's leaders: 'The people who control culture in China have no culture.' Chinese authorities have beaten and jailed Ai, destroyed his studio, and threatened his loved ones because he won't stop denouncing government oppression. Buy this book to keep his brave words alive, since, as he points out, 'The government computer has one button: delete.'"--R.C. Baker, Village Voice "PERFECT FOR: Dissidents-in-training, Ai fans and anyone with a Twitter handle."--Huffington Post "His quotations, collected from his own writings, interviews and Tweets, offer musings on art, politics and Chinese life. They also show us the man himself: uncompromising, upfront, amusing, and charismatic, with an often wicked sense of humour."--Clarissa Sebag-Montefiore, The Independent "The little black book of Weiwei-isms packs a serious, pensive punch."--Karen Day, Cool Hunting "Don't let the size fool you. Ai Weiwei's 'little black book' will leave a lasting impression."--Sylvia Tsai, ArtAsiaPacific "This wonderful little book of memorable quotes from the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei--culled from his numerous videos and posts on his blog and Twitter--encourages us to accept the challenges of life and to use our time on this earth to stand up for human rights and a better life for all."--John May, Generalist "Weiwei-isms is not another trite collection of quotes gathered for the casual reader. From a man who admonishes 'Say what you need to say plainly, and then take responsibility for it' comes this short, frank, and thoughtful collection that does just that."--Michael Abatemarco, Pasatiempo, New Mexicanshow more

Back cover copy
"Ai Weiwei is unquestionably one of the most important artists of our time. His practice encompasses the production of objects, the circulation of information, and politics in a manner that is absolutely unique. This worthy compilation of short quotations will introduce a broad audience to his thought and activism, and makes clear the scope and span of this truly global artist."--David Joselit, author of "After Art" "First, there was Confucius. Then, the sayings of Chairman Mao. And now the pithy, ironic, and humorous insights of Ai Weiwei. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this collection, which reflects a well-developed philosophy as well as a keen understanding of the Chinese Communist system. This is China made easy and interesting."--Jerome A. Cohen, New York Universityshow more

The first time around, the prosecution built its case against State Sen. Jane C. Orie slowly, calling the intern who initiated the investigation about illegal campaign work about halfway through its presentation and calling the senator's chief of staff as its penultimate witness.
This time, Assistant District Attorney Lawrence Claus started with former University of Pittsburgh intern Jennifer Rioja, followed by key witness Jamie Pavlot.
"There was an overall attitude that these actions were OK and even required of staff members," Rioja wrote in a complaint filed with the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office. "It was a series of consistent actions, not an isolated event."

The toy that taught an entire generation to care for something that didn't exist is returning soon, and I've never been so excited about the prospect of cleaning up poop. Bandai Co and Sync Beatz Entertainment are breathing new life and love into the Tamagotchi on Android and iOS.
Mobile phones are the perfect place to raise virtual children. That's what the Tamagotchi was to me in the '90s — I used it to gauge whether or not I'd make a good father. I didn't do so well. Every day I wake up to the sounds of two actual living children I am amazed. When they sleep I poke them to make sure they're OK. Tamagotchi taught me that.
The upcoming app, Tamagotchi: L.I.F.E. (Love is Fun Everywhere) signals the rebirth of toy as lifestyle brand, with all sorts of clothing and accessories launching later in 2013. Expect lots of pink and pixels, which sounds about perfect to me.

"It all began because Rei Kawakubo found me. She has an incredible sense of going beyond. When she sent me the first designs, I was amazed because she owned all of my old books. Even the ones from the 1960s, that I did on Germany. She took my work, respected the images and made them into collages in a very interesting way. It is almost like recycling. Taking the same ingredients, but making a new combination, whilst keeping the spirit of things. I was so impressed. In a way, it took my own work further from what I had done at the time, because all I was really doing was going on and on. I couldn't stop. I am the first photographer in the Comme des Garçons series. When her and Adrian Joffe first asked me to be involved, they showed me the work of Ai Weiwei. I remember turning to Rei and saying "but what can I do, how can i do it?". She told me that I didn't have to do anything. That she would take my work, recycle the images and design them. I just saw the last one in the series, no. 29. Rei is really unbelievable. Now, here I am, confronted with a construction of my own work. Looking back, I didn't have the patience to work in fashion. I like women so much, but I was never qualified to torture them in photo shoots. You have to be really tough and brutal. I was also politically motivated, so I was very interested in those things. This interest led me to many stupid moments, like being shot at in a helicopter in Vietnam. I think it was my Swiss curiosity, to poke my nose into this world and into these events. Things that I shouldn't have done. I was lucky and most of the time, I came out unhurt. Most of the time staying cool helped me, but at the end of the day it came down to luck. Pure luck. Even my photography is the result of being there at the right moment.
"Looking back, I didn't have the patience to work in fashion. I like women so much, but I was never qualified to torture them in photo shoots. You have to be really tough and brutal."
It took me six years to get close to Picasso. I learnt a lot from him and he was an absolute genius. He almost became my grandfather at the time. It was like he was a magician or something. He taught me that photography is not just taking pictures, it is how you approach an image. What you do and what you don't do. Unwittingly he inspired me to go beyond what you think is there in front of you. For me he is the ultimate man. He once said "it took me all my life to draw like a child" and I still feel like that. It has taken me all my life just to take a good picture. When I first started working as a photo journalist for Magnum, they said I wouldn't make it, but it was a great couple of decades. I met some fantastic people. Magnum, was in that sense an anarchistic democracy. I grew up in Switzerland, in this kind of rigidity. It was protestant and I was rather shy. That influenced me a lot. When I went to university, the director was from the Bauhaus and my teacher in photography had studied architecture. It was very tough at that time. When I see my early pictures it almost gives me stomach pains. It was so very rigid. I was taught that you had to make a picture so clear that people know what you are saying. That held me for a long time. When you get out there, the world takes you over. When I look back at the early pictures, I am amazed because I was somewhere where so many things were happening and I would just take one picture, make a correction and then that was it. Rather than take lots of them. Then I let the editors of the magazines make their choice. So that training helped from the beginning. The economic situations also made you go for the essential things. Out there you had to fight, when you came back you had to fight. It was a very intense process. Sometimes you lost with the editors, sometimes I felt there was no way of winning, but you had to keep this fighting spirit."
In 1955, when Swiss photographer René Burri became a freelancer for Magnum, he helped to redefine photojournalism. He began documenting major historical, political and cultural events, offering a alternative to official records and capturing intimate portraits of key figures including Che Guevara, Picasso and Le Corbusier. "I think it was my Swiss curiosity, to poke my nose into this world and into these events," he explains, as he sits in the IDEA book space of Dover Street Market, surrounded by his own images. Earlier this year, René was approached by Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons to collaborate on a project, where he would allow for his images to be re-appropriated for the brand's printed announcements and invitations. The result is a hypnotic accumulation of images, in which original photographs are collaged and layered to produce a new vision of his historic works. To coincide with last week's Frieze Art Fair, Dover Street Market have created an large-scale installation of René photographs, reworked by Rei Kawakubo in their window. During the launch, AnOther caught up with René to discuss his prolific career and his collaboration with Comme des Garçons.
Comme des Garçons have produced a limited run of three CDG T-shirts designed by René Burri, available at Dover Street Market, whilst a selection of his books, both old and new, are available in the IDEA Book space.

Lean your head to the side. Suggestion - really clean under the ejector. Might help.

Tell him to eat more fiber.... :neener: ... sorry I couldn't help it.
Check to see if there is any marring or nicks that may cause the case to get
hung up while being ejected. That would cause a trajectory change in the
brass from before.

Sounds like it's time for a bolt rebuild. I just did mine and it is pretty easy to do. I bought the parts from http://www.e-gunparts.com/products.asp?chrMasterModel=3830zCARBINE&MC=. Order a new ejector and spring assembly (542340C), extractor (542260C), extractor spring plunger (542310C) and extractor spring (542300C). You will also need a bolt tool, I bought mine from http://www.northridgeinc.com/m1_carbine.htm, they were the cheapest I found.
Total cost for parts and the bolt tool with shipping is around $50. If you are mechanically inclined it will be fairly easy just make sure you face the extractor plunger the right way when you put it back together so it will lock the extractor in place.
September 16, 2006, 12:47 PM
TIMC pretty well has it.
When a Carbine is doing this, the "usual" is either a dirt-impacted bolt with the parts so gummed up or fouled it starts ejecting weakly or in odd directions, or the parts are simply worn out.
As above, the "fix" is to disassemble the bolt and either try cleaning it first, or just replace everything.
While it's "possible" to disassemble and reassemble the bolt without a bolt tool, you'll be VERY sorry, and the wife, kids, and neighbors will hear words they haven't heard before.

YouTube's Next Chef ProgramSara O'Donnell
It was bound to happen sooner or later. With the explosion of cooking entertainment on television, it was really only a matter of time before the food phenomenon came to the smaller screen. Online video giant YouTube has announced the sixteen cooking channels that will be the first class of YouTube Next Chefs.
The program is part of the global partner development initiative, YouTube NextUp, that aims to "supercharge the careers of the world's next big stars who are starting their careers on YouTube." To accomplish this, the 12-week program includes "virtual training powered by Google+ Hangouts, collaboration projects, and mentoring by industry experts."
There will also be assignments focused on improving video-making, audience building, and general YouTube skills. Simply put, the YouTube Next Chef program is a "crash course in production and editing techniques."
Sound like a lot to digest? The YouTube Next Chef program reads more like a Master's degree in YouTube than a cut-throat cooking competition, but that remains to be seen.
And guess what? It remains to be seen… first hand!

I consider him a very talented fighter who has been slightly overrated as time has passed. Of course I could be biased because the only two times I saw him fight live he got KO'd.

Excellent JWW!
I say several of his fights, & would rate him top 5, maybe top 3 & some could & would argue him #1 at JWW, & you would probably not be wrong with any of those discussions.
He fought A. Pryor at the very end of his career & was definitely past his Prime & his chance to beat another great fighter in his Prime, I believe Arguello would have beaten him if they had fought, before Arguello met Pryor & Mamby was in his prime around the same time, so I would take him at that time only, if in their Prime, I take Cervantes against them all.
Cervantes was not known has a great KO Puncher, but did hit hard & he did put Pryor down, I believe in his Prime, he TKO's Pryor & wins.
Him & Tszyu would have been another great JWW fight, I take Tszyu to TKO him in a great fight.
And I take Loi to beat him in a tough decision.
So yes Cervantes was a great fighter & an All-time great at JWW, definitely top 5, most likely top 3 & anyone could argue him at #1, if he can put Pryor down at the end of his career, he can probably beat him if he is fighting him in his Prime.

By Natalie Cole, 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) Public AffairsAugust 13, 2010
KUWAIT -- For much of the war, the complex logistical process of supplying the warfighters in theater has been behind the scenes. Now, with the push to get people and equipment out of Iraq, the work of surface distribution commands at sea ports is in the spotlight. Images of the war have shifted from combat troops in battle throughout deserts and urban landscapes to convoys of armored vehicles leaving Iraq destined for sea ports in the Persian Gulf.
One such unit that contributes to the heavy lifting of the drawdown is the 1185th Deployment Distribution Support Battalion, a reserve unit from Lancaster, Pa. The 1185th is responsible for operations at the Shuaiba Port in Kuwait.
On a continual basis, thousands of damaged and battle-worn armored vehicles from Iraq arrive to Shuaiba Port to be shipped back to the United States. Troops of the 1185th are responsible for inventorying the equipment, cleaning it, inspecting it and finally loading it on a ship bound for the United States. By the time equipment reaches the port, it has been cleaned and inspected multiple times by troops.
At the port, armored vehicles are inspected one last time by U.S. Navy customs.
Sgt. 1st Class Michael McMullen, noncommissioned officer in charge of cargo management for 1185th, said the coordination among different logistics troops is essential for preparing equipment to meet the standards of customs. He said, "the main thing is having everything done right before it gets to the port."
Once they reach the United States, the armored vehicles begin a process known as retrograde. Retrograde is another term for repairing or retiring damaged equipment and reassigning it for use elsewhere in the Army.
The deadline to have troop levels down to 50,000 by Aug. 31, 2010, will influence the operations tempo at Shuaiba Port, according to Lt. Col. Walter Chwastyk, commander of the 1185th. He said that the pace of incoming and outgoing equipment has been consistent, but he added, "today's work in Iraq is tomorrow's work in Kuwait is next week's work at the port."
Usually, port operations are an unseen effort, taking a backseat to the more typical images of combat. However, working on the port is a demanding job that comes with its own hazards. For example, cranes and forklifts are often oversized, as they need the capability to lift armored vehicles onto flatbed trucks and ships. Furthermore, the large amount of commercial shipping traffic on the port can create dangerous working conditions.
"The fact that we're moving large pieces of equipment - in the day, at night, in sandstorms, 24-hours - can make ports lethal," said Maj. Eric Delellis, 1185th operations officer for Shuaiba Port.
Weather is also a challenge, as Kuwait is one of the hottest places on earth.
"High winds and sandstorms are prevalent," said Delellis. In such instances, the port closes, which forces troops to juggle the timing of incoming vessels, cargo that needs to go out, and cargo that is coming in. "It's a real chess match," he added.
In the face of the dangers, safety is paramount, and troops have the training needed to perform their duties safely, said Chwastyk.
Despite all the combined challenges of port operations, the 1185th continues to meet their own goals. For example, Chwastyk said that his troops maintain a 10-day dwell time, which refers to the amount of time vehicles stay at the port before going home. He added that "this can be thankless work" but that troops have upheld high standard of performance "to meet our goals of moving equipment," he said.
The 1185th is a subordinate battalion of the 595th Transportation Brigade headquartered at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. The 595th is part of the Surface, Deployment and Distribution Command, and conducts port operations within 1st Theater Sustainment Command's 20-country area of responsibility.
