Berkeley will spend up to $50K after police chief blunder
The city of Berkeley has hired a public relations firm at a cost of $24,000 to review the police department's media policies, bringing the price tag to $49,000 for Police Chief Michael Meehan's decision to send a sergeant to a reporter's home in the middle of the night to ask for a change to a story.
Cornerstone Communications, located in Irvine, will audit the police department's policies on the release of information, make recommendations to ensure the department is following "best practices," media guidelines, and train police personnel on changing media dynamics, on understanding social media, and media culture.
The firm will talk to police management and reporters who cover the police department, and assess the police department's reputation in recent news coverage and social media space. The contract was signed on May 1. … Continue reading »

Police: Robbery was set upOctober 18,2013THETFORD Vermont State Police say a couple robbed at gunpoint in an acquaintances driveway had been lured there.
Police said Caitlyn and Chris Burnham of Bradford were visiting with McKayla Jordan in Thetford. The three were in the Burnhams car when two masked men came out of the woods and pointed a handgun at Chris Burnham. They left with his wallet and about $1,000.
The Burnhams told police that despite the masks, they were able to identify both men.
Police later arrested 28-year-old Buddy Covey of Bradford and 42-year-old Jamie Lussier of Croydon, N.H., on charges of assault and robbery. They were being arraigned Thursday.
They said the 24-year-old Jordan will appear in court at a later date.MORE IN Vermont News

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
On the day Kakashi killed Rin it may not have been tears coming from his eyes it looks as if it was raining that day so it could have possibly been rain pouring down their faces.
Kakashi was so sad, tears came from the sky... Sheesh I thought that was obvious.
It was sweat... he shoved it in there pretty roughly.
Definetly tears, kinda like Itachi's during the Massacre.
Kakashi WAS crying...you guys need to read it again...*sigh* it wasn't rain it was water jutsu that exploded in that area that's why it looked like it rained at the place where Kakashi was...
If you zoom in real close and look at the smaller panel you can see that it is coming from his eye. He was definitely crying. I wonder why his other eye was closed and not crying.
It is very obvious that he is crying.
Stop being in denial guys. Don't go in to too much analysis and depth. You all have learned from your mistake from the Tobi theories. We are reading a Manga about ninjas and not a John Grisham novel.
It is the real Kakashi unless Madara injected some water in Zetsu so he could cry. I am also pertaining to people doubting if that was really Kakashi.

I cant actually see any tears lol.
It might just be me.
i think he really was crying

But water is also dripping from all of their foreheads so unless tears go upwards to it may not be odvious after all and that look a lot like rain drops coming down to me.
i think he was crying too
Definitely crying!!it's not rain.....tears r coming out of his eyes ='(
Oh my god, why do people keep asking this, it's coming out of his eye, he's obviously crying. The rain didn't shove itself up there in his eye socket and come out to look like tears.
he was crying kishi was forshadowing that, and not only that he had tears boddle up in his eyes hes full aware what hes doing
It wasn't kakashi crying it was obito , it's kakashi's left eye .
he was crying
he def looks like hes crying but im wondering why he only is showing his sharingan eye and not both eyes. usually when kakashi is shown using the sharingan he has both eyes showing or only his normal eye. i think kakashi saw the same thing obito saw and thats how they both gained their ms. they witnessed the death of rin by a zetzu clone that was looking like kakashi, the best friend they had in common besides each other. i could certainly be wrong, but this is my theory.

There are poor business decisions and then there's THIS decision.
Owners of a Long Island children's entertainment facility decided to bring in extra money by allowing a late-night, nudity-laced adult "pajama party" to be held in the same place where kids come for recreation.
CBS New York reported that Krazy Kidz, located in Medford, N.Y. came under fire after it was discovered that the facility hosted the event titled, "Jungle Gym & Pajama All-Night Dance Party: For Grown Ups Who Won't Grow Up." Fliers and invitations were created and the party was promoted on a local website. Activities included body painting, Jello wrestling, pillow fights and a Twister contest. Pictures appeared on social media sites showing naked adults posing on children's play equipment.
Parents who regularly take their children to the facility were outraged.
Krazy Kids addressed the backlash via a Facebook post earlier this week.
After the complaints started coming in, the facility decided to close its doors for a "thorough sanitizing," according to a sign posted on the door. The long-term ramifications of the party remain to be seen.

- Abstract
- We study experimentally the formation of refractive index voxels (volume elements) in photorefractive LiNbO3 and LiTaO3 crystals illuminated with high irradiance femtosecond laser pulses. We used 150 fs pulses at 800 nm wavelength (energy 6-50 nJ) tightly focused inside the crystals in a single shot regime. This resulted in a formation of a micrometer size region of elevated refractive index, which may be used as memory bits in information storage/retrieval application. The maximum refractive index change of 5 x 10-4 was recorded in undoped LiNbO3 at an average light intensity of ~TW/cm2 that is close to the breakdown threshold. A simple setup for photorefractive recording and in situ monitoring of the refractive index changes has been proposed.

Retired teacher sues state over pension tax
A retired teacher from Troy Public Schools has filed a class-action lawsuit against the State of Michigan for breaking its promise that school and state employees' pensions wouldn't be taxed.
Thomas R. Okrie made the irrevocable decision to retire from Troy Public Schools, effective July 1, 2000, and began collecting his pension through the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System.
According to his lawsuit, filed in July 2013 in the Ingham County Court of Claims, Okrie based part of his decision to retire on the Michigan Office of Retirement Services' statement that "Pensions paid by MPSERS are exempt from Michigan state income tax and Michigan city tax."
But soon after taking office in 2011, Gov. Rick Snyder and Republicans in the Legislature ushered through the passage of Public Act 38 of 2011, which levied a new state and local taxes on many retirees' pensions.
Okrie and his attorney, Gary P. Supanich, allege that the pension tax constitutes a breach of contract, as the state "made a promise not to tax pensions that state employees and public school employees relied upon when making irrevocable employment termination and retirement decisions."
"The State of Michigan broke that promise when it started to tax state pensions," Supanich wrote on his website.
Up to one-third of the 192,000 retired public school employees and 55,000 state retirees are affected by the pension tax, according to MEA-Retired.

text: Have you ever seen a breastfeeding commercial with a fine print disclaimer saying "formula is best"? I know there aren't really any ads out there for BF (there should be), but if formula was really better, then companies wouldn't have to even mention BF in their ads. You almost always see "Breast is best, ask your pediatrician" in the formula commercials. Formula companies are pushing to sell their product, but still somewhat have to acknowledge that BF is better.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Time waits for no one as it hurtles by.
A week ago this column was anticipating the looming Section IX basketball tournament and the state indoor track meet. Both are now history. Time figured strongly in both sports, albeit in different ways.
In the 3200 run by Eldred senior Alex Campanella at the state meet, the stalwart Yellow Jacket, the reigning Section IX champion in the event, finished sixth in New York State with a lifetime best of 9:25.60. Campanella, who is bound for DePaul University in the fall, finished behind five runners from larger schools, all of whom will be classified as Division I contenders this spring (600 students or more in grades 9-11). Indoor track has no such size demarcations. Campanella will vie only against Division II adversaries (schools with fewer than 600 students grades 9-11) when the state meet takes place at Middletown High School on June 7. Distance also figures in when it comes to track, not just in races but in events in which athletes, throw or jump. Linear measures are used in long jump, triple jump and shot put, while measures of height define the high jump and pole vault.
Sullivan West junior Mitch Paciga posted a high jump mark of 6-2 to take 11th. The winning jump was 6-10. Tri-Valley's Aric Boyes and Mareena DiMilia vied in the shot put. Boyes, who is the Section IX champion in the event, took 10th with a mark of 48-10.75. The winning throw was 60-1; DiMilia threw 34-3.5 for 23rd place. The top girls' throw was 44-0.25.
In girls basketball, the number-two seeded Livingston Manor Lady Wildcats (6-10) brought off a timely title victory over number-one seeded Eldred in the Section IX Class D finals as they held on to win 26-19. Manor, the defending Section IX champion, advances to the state Final Four for the second consecutive year, this time for a semifinal clash with the winner of the quarterfinal between Sections III and IV. Last year, Manor beat Roscoe, then vanquished Shelter Island 56-19 before losing to Argyle 53-26. The Lady Wildcats had their day in the sun with a state softball title in the spring, as did the baseball team in the high-water mark of Manor sports history. Eldred (6-10) was paced by Jessica Schips, who had nine points. Manor's Imani Miranda led her team with eight.
In Class C girls action, Tri-Valley (14-6) edged Rhinebeck 44-37 at home before losing a heartbreaking semifinal to Chester 45-42 in overtime. After a rocky first half, the Lady Bears roared back in the second half to gain a two-point lead twice in the game's waning minutes. With the overtime winding down, two crucial inbounds turnovers afforded Chester the win on a three-point shot with four seconds remaining. Tri-Valley had the ball with 10.5 seconds and the score tied, but failure to inbound the ball within five seconds gave the ball to Chester. Tuxedo narrowly defeated Chester 52-49 for its third title since 2009, its sixth since 2002. Monticello (9-10), greatly hampered by injuries, fell to Goshen 61-24 in a Class A quarterfinal. The Tri-Valley boys (12-7) defeated Chester 61-51 in a home quarterfinal using a trio of late treys from Rodney Jester to reverse an early 12-point Chester lead. Jester had 12 points in the final frame, a great showing of clutch play in the nick of time.
Time was not a factor in the semifinals as Pine Plains, the number-one seeded Class C team in the state, routed the Bears 74-37. The Bombers went on to decimate S.S. Seward 68-41 to claim their third consecutive Section IX title. Time also ran out on Sullivan West's season, as the Bulldogs (12-7) were routed by Ellenville to the tune of 73-45. Fallsburg defeated Millbrook in a home quarterfinal by the score of 69-63 as senior Rakkir Watson posted 45 points. Watson would accrue his 1000th career point in the Comets' 72-37 loss to S.S. Seward in the Class C semifinals. Eldred (5-15), the number-four seed among Class D boys, knocked off top-seeded Chapel Field 65-49 before being ousted by John A. Coleman Catholic 74-31. It was Coleman's sixth Section IX Class D title in the past seven years.

|An image - worth thousand words!
Here are some tips on how to choose the best images for your blog posts:
(#1.) Relevance - blog posts are generally there to persuade readers to show interest in a certain topic, product, or service. Adding pictures to help illustrate those concepts can only help, but don't go overboard. Shy away from adding pictures for the sake of adding pictures. Make sure that you are putting up illustrations that are going to add to the relevance of your text, not take away from it. It is easy to add too much, so try to keep it straight forward and to the point, just like the text.
(#2.) Copyrights - always remember that not all images are available for your use. There are copyrights for images that are on the internet as well as copyrights for images that are in print. If you want to avoid any problems that you might encounter with copyrighted materials, use your own images. Go looking for images that give relevance to your post and take the pictures yourself. If that doesn't seem like a viable option for you, there are public image sites that you can locate off of any search engine. Most search engines will provide you with an image option; type in the object or term that you are looking for and browse through the hundreds of images that are available to use without objection. If you find an image on another blog or site that you would like to use, remember to be courteous. It is polite to send a short email or contact the owner of the site asking for permission to use the image.
(#3.) Editing - it is important to do minor (and sometimes major) editing on your images before just sticking them up on your blog. It is more than aggravating to have to wait an eternity for a page to load because the file is too large. In fact, in this "instant gratification" world, no one waits for a page to load for very long without just moving along. If you have a file to add that is of larger size, put a thumbnail up on the page. If users want to wait to view the full photo, they have that option. If not, it doesn't create problems when loading. When finalising photos or images for your blog post, keep clarity in mind. A clean and crisp image gets the point across a lot better than an unclear one. Photoshop is a great tool to use before putting pictures up on your blog; you can add or subtract from an image as needed, and sometimes it is needed.
(#4.) Avoid - there are some things that you should try and avoid when choosing images for your blog post. For instance, animations are great and can potentially add just the right ingredient to your post, but it is important to think about internet connections. Some people don't have the fastest connections, and you don't want to alienate parts of your audience. It is also a good idea to stay away from background images; they can slow the process of loading your page down to snail pace. Account for those readers who may want to print your post without the background attached.
(#5.) Include - there are images that are better to use than others and should be highly considered. You want to make sure that you are using unique illustrations. If people have seen the image a thousand times, it loses its weight. People associate certain objects with a product or service and you want your readers to associate illustrations with your work. Include pictures that capture the essence of what you are trying to relay to your readers, it doesn't have to be completely literal. Capitalise on reader satisfaction by using photos that mean something to them; use pictures of people, kids, animals. Everyone likes to laugh, so adding a humorous image is a tool that will keep readers returning to your page. This is your chance to shine, to set yourself apart from similar blogs or from those that are selling the same product or service. Images can very easily turn into a mascot for a particular product, site or service. Mascots can be very beneficial to a business and finding a good one starts with searching through images that are relevant to your end goals.

March 13, 2013 —
CANAAN, PA — The man accused of killing corrections officer Eric Williams at the U.S. Penitentiary at Canaan in Wayne County on February 25 has been identified. Officials say the suspect is Jessie Con-ui, who had previously been convicted of killing a rival gang member in Arizona.
Con-ui reportedly took Williams by surprise and killed him by stabbing him repeatedly with a home-made weapon. Con-ui was moved to a higher security prison after the killing.
Con-ui, 36, was reportedly a member of a gang in Arizona called the New Mexican Mafia, and was facing a life sentence in that state and an 11-year sentence on a drug dealing charge.
He was due to finish his federal imprisonment in September and would have been transferred to an Arizona prison. Now, he may be facing the death penalty for killing the corrections officer.

What Florida House and Senate waste time with..Burial URNS
Proposed legislation in the Florida House and Senate would allow construction of an on-site columbarium — a building or structure that houses urns — at both Daytona and Homestead, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
If the bill passes, which means it would be law July 1, fans could have their ashes laid to rest at the speedways.
International Speedway Corp. spokesman Lenny Santiago told the News-Journal that many NASCAR fans have inquired about having their final resting place at Daytona. "We have a lot of fans that are very, very loyal to NASCAR races and to Daytona in general. This opens that door, this bill, and we're hopeful that this will get passed," Santiago said, according to the newspaper.
There is a precedent already set in the state of Florida. The University of Florida, a main supporter of the university columbarium law that passed in 2009, has a plan for its columbarium but has not built it yet and has no pricing structure, said Chris Brazda, a spokesman for the University of Florida Foundation.
Santiago told the newspaper that there isn't a proposed location nor any idea of the cost to fans who are interested in having their ashes stored at the track.

She did indeed have much to share.
in fact, she cut a sad, lonely & pretty poignant figure.
When asked if she regretted anything she'd written, she instantly replied "Yes, all of it".
It might have begun as an escape or a distraction but has evolved into so much more.
So many opportunities....I work with brands that I admire, I've travelled, been to brilliant & exciting events, learned an enormous amount, met so many inspiring people, I've raised money for charity, I earn an income ....all from my blog.
It's all been positive....not one negative. Not even a negative comment.
There might have been cake but this was no fluffy coffee morning -
it was a meeting of minds, businesswomen, smart & high achieving.
Eloquent & funny, ambitious & knowledgeable women, some brilliant writers.
These are most definitely not women who "sit" at home.
Add to that a huge amount of mutual admiration, encouragement & support.

Vt. towns to vote on public bank, oil pipeline
Want a state-owned public bank to hold government money? Or a ban against a Northeast Kingdom oil pipeline? Two grass-roots advocacy groups will ask Vermonters to consider those questions at March town meetings.
The group Vermonters for a New Economy is promoting a nonbinding resolution urging the creation of a state bank to store government money and support loans through community banks and credit unions to students, homeowners, businesses and municipalities.
The group stresses the proposal wouldnt compete with commercial banks because it wouldnt hold individual or business deposits, just government money now invested in out-of-state entities. According to a new study, using such funds for lending in Vermont would add an estimated $340 million to the gross domestic product and, if used to finance infrastructure, could save more than $100 million in interest now going out of state.
Two dozen communities are set to consider the petition, which can be found on the website vtneweconomy.org. Those towns include Albany, Bakersfield, Barnet, Berlin, Calais, Craftsbury, East Montpelier, Enosburg, Fayston, Greensboro, Irasburg, Marlboro, Montgomery, Montpelier, Plainfield, Putney, Randolph, Richford, Rochester, Royalton, Ryegate, Tunbridge, Waitsfield and Warren.
Meanwhile, the Tar Sands Free Vermont campaign headed by 350VT.org, the Sierra Club and National Wildlife Federation hopes to expand on the 29 communities that supported its nonbinding Keep Vermont Tar Sands Free resolution last year by asking more municipalities to block the use of a 1950s pipeline to transport Canadian oil through the state.
The pipeline path runs through the Northeast Kingdom towns of Barton, Burke, Guildhall, Irasburg, Jay, Lunenburg, Newport, Sutton, Troy and Victory and intersects 15 natural waterways that lead to other parts of the state.

Photos of Artist Hayley Gaberlavage's New Orleans Studio and Apartment
House Tour: Artist Hayley Gaberlavage's New Orleans Studio and Apartment
In February, I took a trip to my old stomping grounds of New Orleans and visited artist Hayley Gaberlavage, whose work I featured on Casa in September. I met Hayley through another NOLA artist, Amanda Stone Talley, and both, with their sweet Southern hearts and innate, nonpareil style, were instant friend crushes.
Hayley lives on the coolest block of Magazine Street, one of the most vibrant, artistic stretches of the city. Hayley's home, a one-bedroom apartment with an expansive balcony, also doubles as her studio, so she keeps it looking sharp for art enthusiasts like me who hope to drop by. Hayley is admittedly a midcentury modern and Danish design enthusiast. So in addition to her outstanding landscapes, abstracts, and figurative paintings spattering the white, gallery-style walls, the interiors are also punctuated with crave-worthy furniture that's she has perfectly and minimally arranged. The result is a bright and cozy place to sit and chat about art over a key lime soda on a hot New Orleans day.
Let me take you on the full tour!

Missouri River in October.
ok, guys and gals, i'm getting married Oct. the 7th and heading out to Craig, MT the following day for a little over a week with the wife for our honeymoon to do some trout fishing. This is our first trip out west, i know the Missouri can fish great, and i hope it does. I guess i'm just looking for some general info about the MO, patterns, what to expect early fall? Hopefully we can catch the start of the brown spawn? Spoke with Headhunters they said the fishing can be great that time of year, nymphs and dry's. I've also talked with Bill at LRO and he thought it would be a good time to fish, though he had not been out that late in the season. Have any of you fished the Missouri that time of year? information would be greatly appreciated.
We have not fished there in October but I have been there late in September. The fishing always seems to be good on the Missouri. Overall the torut average a little bigger then elsewhere in my opinion, but bare in mind most people don't think much of my opinion! My wife and I decided not to go out West this year. I was really looking forward to taking my drift boat and staying at Craig. While dries work you may find yourself indicator fishing a lot of the time. Flies like small Czech nymphs, small bead head soft hackle, fireflies and the like. The normal program is to use about a 4X leader with several small split shot a couple of feet above the fly. A dropper is tied on with about 5X tippet. It is not uncommon in my experience to have the indicator about 4 or 5 ft above the fist fly. I have a feeling this setup will normally always catch fish. It is not a bad idea if you are drifting to have two rods set up. One with the indactor rig and second with dries. This is what I normally do. As I said it seems to me the fish average larger in the Missouri, this is especially true above Craig to the dam, then elsewhere. They seem to fight harder too. Our best fish has been a 26 inch golden brown my wife landed. Best of luck.
the mighty Mo
Sorry but the latest I have fished it is late July, hopper and nymphs was great. Don't worry to much about what to use Headhunters will be able to give you the latest info and flys to use. Make sure you say hello to Mark, he is one of owners of Headhunters. All the local guides gather on the porch of HH at night and you can learn a ton of info from them.If you get a chance eat at Izaak's right next door to HH great food. Just wish I was going back myself. Good luck Bill Hudson
Fishing is not a matter of life and death.It's more important than that.

We have been on the Mo three different times from mid july to early september to late October. We had Indian summer type weather on the October trip and while the standard nymph fare worked, the blue wing olives were pretty strong at the time. Don't forget to try some streamers too. I miss it.
Thanks guys! I appreciate the info. Mstone, streamers are going to be my go to fly, i'm really comfortable using them and probably the only flies that i will take out there that are my own original type patterns or variations of kelly galloup's flies . I've been fishing articulated streamer patterns a lot on the Clinch this year with some great results! So i'm hoping for the same out there, hopefully the trout will feel the same way. Bill, i have spoke a few times to Mark on the phone, super nice guy with tons of information, can't wait to meet him. We'll be staying I think directly across from HH at one of the cabins in the craig trout camp and Izaak's will be our primary source of food, glad to hear it tastes good, they also mentioned a taco stand we could eat breakfast at so i guess we'll be trying that as well. Trico, as for the size of the fish ill take your word on it, 26' is big any day in my book! hopefully we can try to catch our share of those 20+ inch trout. My soon to be wife one upped me this last fall in the park fishing the post spawn browns when she reeled in a 23' brown, my best so far is 22' on the Clinch. Hopefully we can set some personal bests out there, if not from what i've heard is pretty accurate to your description of strong fish that on average larger than most trout found in other streams. thanks for the advice on set ups and ill make sure to spend ample time up towards the dam.
just an attempt to reply...........slide inn..........google it.......up near the slide area on the madison..........nice cabins..........perfect for the couples get together.....restaurants in west yellowstone...........use kelly gallops's streamers on the madison............it worked for me..........just saying...............
Here I walk slowly, deliberately, taking it one step, one trout, one sunset at a time. -Harry Middleton
Yonder, it is on my list for sure. I'd love to try to book a trip with one of kelly's guys there in slide on the madison. it seems there is so little time and so many places to fish out west.
Tnstonefly, you will find the two cabins at the Trout Camp very nice. Izaaks has great food as you will find out. In fact many people come there from the surrounding towns. all of the fly shops will be helpful and provide you with useful information. You will have a great time. Let us know how you do.

A Canadian couple bit off more than they could chew while munching on a bag of peanuts on New Year's Eve.
Michaela Epp told the Winnipeg Sun her boyfriend, Graham Calder, crunched down on a human tooth after opening the bag of Safeway brand Spanish peanuts.
The tooth appeared to be broken into three parts and still had the root attached.
"It happened about 15 minutes after midnight," Epp told the Sun. "My boyfriend looked me and said, 'That's one way to start things.'"
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency was investigating.
"Safeway is committed to industry leading food safety standards and we will cooperate fully with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in their investigation," company spokeswoman Betty Kellsey said in a statement.

By the time you read this, I will have already led the workforce panel discussion that opens the APICS Asia 2013 conference. At a later date, I'll share with you some of the thoughts of the panelists and audience members. However, in my travels to places such as China, Japan, Mexico, and here in India, I've been able to directly witness how supply chain professionals are seizing the opportunities created in this increasingly global marketplace. Therefore, the workforce development challenge is important for all professionals to contemplate. I invite you to reflect and share your own ideas.

I'm sure that this is completly normal, but I need a little help getting throught it. (and a small vent)
A little history.....
Emma had stoped nursing herself to sleep 3 months ago, and started her night off in her bed. Around 4 am she and her sister would come into bed with DH and I.
She was down for one nap a day and now she is taking two.
Now, she wants to nurse all the time during the day, and would probabaly stay at the breast all night if I would let her.
Our days are all mapped out for her routine and it didn't interfer with Abby's routine at all. But now she has thrown in a switcharoo, I'm not sure what to do.
The past week she seems a little more clingy and cranky than ususal. And I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it at all, but her poop schedule and constincy (sp?) has changed as well. (from one a day to three a day)
I'm not sure what is going on, she's a completly different child these days.
Thanks for listening.

Why would he do this?November 16,2013
Why would he do this?
Gov. Shumlin is dreaming about folding every Vermonter into his single-payer health plan. That will include those of us on Medicare, TriCare and other types of individual and large employer policies. Why would he do this? Why take the risk of upsetting the apple cart?
It actually has to do with risk. According to the Vermont state website, there are now 608,827 people in the state. When you are talking about risk and insurance this is a relatively small pool. Why is this important? In a small pool there are fewer subscribers paying premiums. The premiums paid in cover the cost of paying for the health care provided to all the subscribers. When one member of the small group has a serious illness the expense will eventually increase the premiums for everyone. Conversely, when you are part of a large pool, there are obviously more people paying into the system so there is less risk to the individual subscribers.
So, is it any wonder that Gov. Shumlin is looking to add every Vermonter to his single-payer risk pool? Would it not make more sense to allow Vermonters to buy health insurance across state lines so they can be in larger risk pools? Then those of us on Medicare, TriCare, etc., will not need to be added to the small single-party, I mean, payer-risk pool.

Steve Frances - After seeing the first few games, Frances looks like he is out playing Marbury. I know Steph has stronger offensive numbers but Frances has been so much more effective, consistantly thean Steph. I would keep him and trade Marbury if thing keep going the way there are.
Frye - You can't trade him now, his value has dropped since he has been aweful thus far.
QR- I would wait utill the deadline to move him to a contender. Right now he is the best player the Knicks have and if they can put together any type of a competative season, they will need him.

I spotted Choco Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies on Mochocholata-Rita which reminded me of something my mother used to make, and I thought it would be fun to come up with a sugar-free version. After a few attempts I had two similar but slightly different versions of Sugar-Free and Flourless Chocolate and Oatmeal Cluster Cookies and when I tested them on my contractor, he liked both the fudgy and cakey versions. This is a regular Utah guy who's most definitely not on a diet, so when he thought both cookies were good I figured I'd let people decide which one to try.
Photos are the fudgy cookies, but both versions look similar. Technically the cookies made with added agave are not completely sugar-free, but they're still a very low-sugar cookie. If you're not watching your sugar intake, these cookies could be made with sugar and the cookies would be gluten-free if you used gluten-free oatmeal.
(In 2014 I featured these cookies for Five Ingredient Fridays, so if you're looking for an easy cookie recipe this is a good one! There are a lot more Low-Sugar or Sugar Free Cookie Recipes with the Carb-Conscious Christmas Recipes.)
Fudgy Version of Sugar-Free and Flourless Chocolate and Oatmeal Cluster Cookies
(Makes about 12 cookies, recipe inspired by Choco Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies at Mochachocolata-Rita.)
1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/2 cup granular Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener
4 T cocoa powder
pinch salt
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla (I used Mexican vanilla)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 egg whites
Cakey Version of Sugar Free and Flourless Chocolate and Oatmeal Cluster Cookies
(Makes about 15 cookies.)
1 1/4 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1/3 cup granular Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener
1/4 cup cocoa powder
pinch salt
2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
3 T Agave Nectar
South Beach Diet Suggestions:
Two things that caught my eye about these cookies was the use of olive oil, and the fact that the cookies didn't have flour. Both those things make this a great cookie choice for the South Beach Diet. Both these cookies would be phase two or three for South Beach, due to the oatmeal and the Agave Nectar in the cakey version.

I was just wondering what the best way is pump to get a feed off for my little one. I have been advised to pump an ounce off each time I feed, but this then takes the day to get a whole feed off. Is there a more efficient way, or less time consuming?
Also how much should I leave for my little monkey for a feed when I leave him? At present I am leaving about 6 ounces, is this enough for a 15 week old?

Two onlookers chased down and captured a woman from Missouri who stabbed her daughter-in-law about 11 a.m. Thursday morning, according to Clovis police reports.
Clovis Police Capt. Dan Blair said the daughter-in-law, Dawn Southern, 28, of Clovis, was treated and released at Plains Regional Medical Center following the incident outside an eatery at the corner of Main Street and Manana Boulevard.
Barbara Southern, 54, of Greenfield, Mo., has been charged with attempt to commit felony murder pending further investigation of the incident, according to Blair. She is being held without bond at the Curry County Adult Detention Center.
A weapon was recovered at the scene, Blair said. He has not seen the weapon but believes it was a knife.
"The motive is still under investigation," Blair said.
Barbara Southern was also taken to the hospital for a checkup and was released.
A man who answered the telephone at Dawn Southern's home said she is resting but declined further comment.
According to Clovis police reports, when police arrived they saw Dawn Southern sitting on the ground and holding her bleeding left side. Witnessess told police the person who stabbed her had fled west on Plaza Drive and was being chased by a man and woman. Police caught up with the three people at the 100 block of West Plaza Drive, where one of the pursuers had pinned Barbara Southern to the ground.
Southern refused to answer police inquiries at the scene.
Blair said what happens next will largely depend on results of the investigation.
"The felony preliminary investigation shows possibly she had the attempt to commit murder by killing her daughter-in-law," Blair said. "I'm not clear exactly what was going on."

The configuration system that PHP uses for installation is one of those nice, simple things in life that makes it rosy. At first it might seem a little confusing, but it's really very easy. So let's dive right in.
To download PHP, visit the php.net download page and click the link under the heading "Complete Source Code."
The first thing to do after downloading and unpacking your source archive is to kick the tires a little bit.
You can unpack the archive using:
gunzip php-x.x.x.tar.gz;
tar xvf php-x.x.x.tar
(Substitute x.x.x for the actual version number of the php archive you downloaded.)
After which, you should see a directory called php-x.x.x, where x.x.x is the
version number or some variation thereof. Then,
cd into this directory and type:
./configure --help | more
to get a list of all available configuration options. The first few lines of output should look something like this:
Usage: configure [options] [host]
Options: [defaults in brackets after descriptions]
--cache-file=FILE cache test results in FILE
--help print this message
--no-create do not create output files
--quiet, --silent do not print "checking..." messages
--version print the version of autoconf that created configure
Also this week:
Achieving Low-Latency Response Times Under Linux
LAMP Lighter: The Apache Toolbox
Exploring the /proc/net/ Directory
Before compiling PHP you must first decide whether you're going to install it as a CGI binary or as an Apache module. I'll discuss compiling as an Apache module, as the two are virtually identical.
Next you must decide what additional PHP modules you wish to have built at compile time. An example of these modules might be mCrypt or FTP. I'll use these two as examples, but there are many more available. A complete list of supported modules can be found in the PHP documentation or by executing the above configure command.
To configure PHP with the mCrypt and FTP modules built in, type the following command:
./configure --with-apache=/tmp/apache_1.3.12 --with-mcrypt --with-ftp
Here I use
/tmp/apache_1.3.12 as an example. You should replace it with the actual location of your Apache source. The configuration script will now go through a series of checks to see what you have installed on your system. If something the compiler will need is missing, it will let you know of your grievous error and stop abruptly with an error like:
configure: error: Please reinstall libmcrypt - I cannot find mcrypt.h
This is the configuration system's way of telling you it loves you, but you only have twenty-four hours to save the earth. That, and it couldn't find the mCrypt libraries anywhere on your system. So, go download and install any necessary libraries.
Once you've installed all the necessary dependencies, we can proceed on course. Re-run the configure script with the same options as above, and you should see something like "Thank you for using PHP." The PHP core development team is nothing if not gracious.
This little note means you can now compile PHP by typing:
I told you it was simple. Next, you probably want to test the compile just to make sure everything is kosher before proceeding to a full install. If anything should go wrong, you will probably be notified with a line that begins with "ERROR" and contains information about what went wrong (the scope of which couldn't possibly be covered in this article). Suffice it to say that if configure didn't give you any errors, then you're probably good to go now.
make test
The last few lines of this should look something like:
TEST RESULT SUMMARY ============================= Number of tests: 95 Tests skipped: 6 (6.3%) Tests failed: 16 ( 18%) Tests passed: 73 ( 82%)
Just as a side note, the make test command just performs a few tests on PHP itself to make sure the various functions contained within work as they should. This command isn't required to install PHP. It's just handy to make sure it ain't misbehavin'.
To complete the install, you simply type:
make install
That last command seals the deal, and you now have PHP installed as an Apache module.
make install creates a directory in
/usr/local/lib called php where it places a copy of
PEAR (PHP Extension Add-on Repository) and the
php.ini file. It also places a copy of the PHP/Apache modules in the Apache source directory provided with
In case you were wondering, all you have to do to install PHP as a CGI binary is execute the above
configure command without the
--with-apache part, and it will default to compiling as a binary. When you do the
make install part, it will most likely put the actual binary in
/usr/local/bin. You should then copy the executable to your
cgi-bin directory by typing the command:
cp /usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/php.cgi
/usr/local/apache is the location of your Apache installation. This allows you to execute PHP as a CGI from Apache.
Some things to look out for: In my experience, Sun's Solaris flavor of Unix doesn't come with much, if any, GNU software by default. This may have changed with Solaris 8, but if it hasn't, then you'll pretty much need to get some GNU lovin' before you even start configuring PHP.
If you're compiling a module along with PHP, such as mCrypt, always make sure that you have the needed module library files before starting your configuration. PHP only comes with the source code necessary to get it running in a relatively basic form. If you want to extend the functionality of PHP, you might need to download the files for the particular module you wish to use (such as mCrypt in the example above). Doing this will save you that dreaded feeling everyone gets when compilation breaks and leaves you with cryptic error messages.
One thing to keep in mind when compiling PHP as a CGI binary: Make sure you execute the
make install part as root. If you are not installing PHP as root, you'll get a permissions error and it won't install.
A final test of your install is best handled with a sample PHP script. The following PHP code will output (in HTML) the installation information for your particular copy of PHP:
Place that code in a file called
// Display a list of PHP?s compile-time features
info.php and save it somewhere in your Apache document root. Next, if you installed PHP as an Apache module, you can call that page in your browser by going to
If you installed PHP as a CGI, then point your browser to
So there you go. See how simple installing PHP can be? Enjoy the power of PHP!

Queen, an architect and businessman with a long mountain lineage, carried a district that includes Swain, Jackson and part of Haywood counties ŌĆö one of the more Democratic leaning areas of Western North Carolina. Queen won in all three counties, including ClampittŌĆÖs home turf of Swain.
Queen will be one of only three Democrats from WNC heading to the N.C. House.
Queen, although seizing an open seat this time around, is a state political veteran, serving three terms in the state Senate over a 10-year span. Queen lost his senate seat in 2010, however. This time, he ran for the N.C. House after long-time Rep. Phil Haire, D-Sylva, announced he would retire after this term, leaving the seat open and up for grabs in a district historically favorable to Democrats.
QueenŌĆÖs dedication to funding education and other social programs such as health care may have carried him to victory, but achieving his goals when in office could be another story. This will be the first time Queen, in his political tenure, will be part of the legislatureŌĆÖs minority.
When asked how he would be effective in a Republican-dominated state government, he admitted itŌĆÖd be tough.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve got to figure that out quite frankly,ŌĆØ Queen said. ŌĆ£It depends on how mean spirited the Republicans are. IŌĆÖm full of good ideas and IŌĆÖll share them.ŌĆØ
Yet, he asserted that his campaign promise of standing up for public schools, community colleges and universities would not waver. Queen formally served as co-chair of the Education Committee while a state senator and said he would like to undo some of the damage he said Republicans had caused through budget cuts.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm really interested in restoring education and our historical commitment to education,ŌĆØ Queen said.
For his first state election, Clampitt, a retired firefighter, still made a decent showing. He earned the votes of many in the community who knew him. Also, many loyal Tea Party Patriots in the district liked his fiscal plans.
Clampitt said he was happy with the tight race and pleased with his supporters showing at the polls.
ŌĆ£It was a lot of fun, a lot of work, and really exciting,ŌĆØ Clampitt said. ŌĆ£I have no regrets. IŌĆÖd do it all again.ŌĆØ
Clampitt was constantly on the go during the race, frequently appearing at events in his own personal fire truck.
He said he will remain politically active and build on what heŌĆÖs started.
Although QueenŌĆÖs platform may have helped him win, name recognition couldnŌĆÖt have hurt when placed alongside Clampitt, who was virtually unknown outside Swain at the outset of campaign season. QueenŌĆÖs long tenure in WNC, and his familyŌĆÖs history in the area, may have given him the edge.
For 45-year-old Susy Sims from Whittier, casting her ballot for Queen stemmed from those very factors, and what she said was QueenŌĆÖs dedication to mountain communities.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm voting for Queen because he comes from a good, local family,ŌĆØ Sims said.

2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Season Comes to an End with Awards Banquet in Las Vegas
December 1, 2012
Las Vegas (Dec. 1, 2012) - Following a week filled with fun and excitement in "Sin City", Kevin Harvick was presented a trophy for completing the 2012 racing season eighth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship driver point standings on the merit of one win, five top-five and 14 top-10 finishes.
Harvick traveled to Las Vegas for Champion's Week where he and the 11 other Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup contenders entertained racing enthusiasts during several fan events beginning with Fan Fest presented by Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Tuesday afternoon. All top-12 drivers competed in a spirited matchup of 'Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader'. The team of 2012 Sprint Cup Series Champion Brad Keselowski and 2011 Sprint Cup Series Champion Tony Stewart proved they are smarter than a fifth grader, winning the overall event. Harvick and teammate Denny Hamlin were eliminated after forgetting to carry the one in a math problem.
The week's special activities continued Thursday morning when Chevrolet unveiled the 2013 No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet SS stock car that will debut during SpeedWeeks at Daytona International Speedway in February. After that Chevrolet several members of the NASCAR community gathered for the annual Myers Brothers Awards Luncheon, which was then followed by a trip to the Las Vegas strip where all top-12 drivers made a Victory Lap down the famous Las Vegas Boulevard and participated in a burnout contest. Fan events were capped off at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino with After the Lap, a comical tell-all event featuring all top-12 drivers.
The celebration concluded Friday evening with the Sprint Cup Series Awards banquet hosted by legendary comedian Howie Mandel, and included special appearances by Train, Lifehouse, Natasha Bedingfield, Phillip Phillips and more. The top-10 drivers were also honored during the ceremony.

Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.

A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

Waiting anxiously for the first NLCS game between the Dodgers and the Phillies
I am starting to get nervous. I get like that before big games and the closer it gets to Thursday, the more nervous I will be. I need to relax. Looking at our beautiful Dodger Stadium always relaxes me…(pic taken from my seat).
And also looking at the sunset from there (pic taken from Top Deck by me).
Ok, I am ready for the Dodgers facing the Phillies.
Who will start the first game?
will it be Chad Billinsley
Or will it be lefty Randy Wolf
Or will it be lefty Clayton Kershaw
Will Kuroda be activated
Or will it be Vicente Padilla
I laughed when I saw this pic that I found from MSTI's blog.
Bring it on Phillies!!
Dodger Stadium will be rocking!
I need this today
But no worries, sunny skies are predicted by Thursday and Friday.
All this TBA is driving me crazy!
19 Comments
I agree can't wait till Thursday now, especially after the excitment of last nights game in Colorado… the Phillies in Dodgertown, this should make for some pretty intense baseball…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
The poor Rockies! It was like deja-vu watching them lose last night to the Phillies! Good luck in the next series!
I love the Dodgers umbrella. I know you must have one. LOL. Let's hope the forecasters are right and the rain is gone by Thursday. It was slow getting started up here, but tonight and tomorrow night are supposed to be the heavy stuff. Counting down until game time…..
Congrats on advancing. Yeah, the Phillies in Dodgertown and this is My town! Counting the days/hours till game time!
I was rooting for the Rockies, especially for Jim Tracy and Joe Beimel. Sorry the rockies loss reminded you of the Red Sox. Thanks for the good luck
haha. No, I don't have that umbrella but now that I found it on line, I know where they have them so I am heading that way afterwork🙂
Got to admit, the Boys in Blue looked pretty awesome in that abbreviated series.
Who in their right mind did not think that was going to go 5 games. But the Dodgers got their Mojo rising and took out the Cardinals fast and furious.
Looking forward to them doing the same to those red pinstripes Phillies.
Rays Renegade
Sorry the Rockies got eliminated. I was rooting for them. At least they did not get swept and and some of the games were so close. They had an exciting run
I have a prediction… the team with the most runs will win!! : )
haha Ted. So what did you think about the Superman photo?
I'm all strapped in and ready to root!
Totally dig the S-Man look!
Buz – http://buzblog.mlblogs.com/
Hang on Buz, We are in for a wild ride! LOL I love the S-man look too.
GO DODGERS! Nice pictures of Dodgers Stadium, Crzblue.
GO DODGERS! Nice pictures of Dodgers Stadium, Crzblue.
Hey Emma, looking forward to the rematch! It will be nice to watch a Phillies game that doesn't make me feel cold just watching the players on TV. If I don't post much during the NLCS it's because I'm too stressed to think properly.🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Can we just start the games NOW? I don't want to wait anymore!!
Good Luck!
Thanks EX314!
I took both pictures at the first game last week!
Is raining hard here right now and it rained all night but the weather report for tomorrow is
Dodger Blue skies, nothing but Dodger blue skies! I am excited, stressed and I don't know if I'll be able to stop biting my nails tomorrow.
Is WAY to many days without baseball. I was asked yesterday what was I going to do without baseball last night. I said "going shopping" but I only went shopping for an umbrella 'cause I left mine in the bus.
Crz, yesterday's game was priceless! Vinnie was at his best and so was the team! Wish I had been there!
Wish you would have been there too. Even though it was so hot, we (Vic, Erik and I) went up to see the THINK BLUE sign. I know you have been there when you were sent there to park but we walked afterwards just to see it up close

- Abstract
- A novel gold coated femtosecond laser nanostructured sapphire surface - an 'optical nose' - based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for detecting vapours of explosive substances was investigated. Four different nitroaromatic vapours at room temperature were tested. Sensor responses were unambiguous and showed response in the range of 0.05-15 μM at 25 °C. The laser fabricated substrate nanostructures produced up to an eight-fold increase in Raman signal over that observed on the unstructured portions of the substrate. This work demonstrates a simple sensing system that is compatible with commercial manufacturing practices to detect taggants in explosives which can undertake as part of an integrated security or investigative mission.

- I've been hearing great things about this one – and the cover is fantastic!
I also recommend:
- Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Summary from GoodReads:
Twelve-year-old Clara Dooley has spent her whole life in the Glendoveer mansion, where her mother is a servant to the kind and elderly matron of the house. Clara has never known another home. In fact, she's confined to the grand estate due to a mysterious heart condition. But it's a comfortable life, and if it weren't for the creepy squawking birds in the aviary out back, a completely peaceful one too.
But once old Mrs. Glendoveer passes away, Clara comes to learn many dark secrets about the family. The Glendoveers suffered a horrific tragedy: their children were kidnapped, then drowned. And their father George Glendoveer, a famous magician and illusionist, stood accused until his death. As Clara digs deeper and deeper into the terrifying events, the five birds in the aviary seem to be trying to tell her something. And Clara comes to wonder: what is their true identity? Clara sets out to solve a decades-old murder mystery—and in doing so, unlocks a secret in her own life, too. Kathleen O'Dell deftly weaves magic, secret identities, evil villians, unlikely heroes, and the wonder of friendship into a mystery adventure with all the charm of an old fashioned classic.
My Review:
This is what I love about literature. That I can pick up a book like The Aviary and enjoy the story, smile and put it down. Then, I can pick up a book of Grimm's Fairy Tales, and see very, very interesting parallels between The Aviary and a story about seven ravens. And all of the sudden, The Aviary takes on entirely different overtones.
So this story is, unfortunately, predictable – but in spite of that, it's fun. It's a fantastic story for middle-graders, and even though I guessed everything that was happening just before it was revealed, I still enjoyed the revelation when it happened. There's elements of The Secret Garden, the Grimm's Fairy Tale mentioned about, and some other bits and pieces of childhood favorites, and everything meshes together to create a thoroughly enchanting world – I mean, what little girl or boy wouldn't love the thought of a secret child locked away in an old mansion? (Although, now that I think about it – the story was on par with the Grimm's Tales in a way!)
This is one I recommend if you are looking for a fairy-tale-like story with a bit of a darker tone to it.
Don't just take my word for it! Check out what these bloggers say!

Sources for Tracing Agricultural Labourers
It's all too easy to fall into the trap of thinking that agricultural labourers are boring and that you can't trace anything about them. In fact they can be very interesting, and there's lots of information to be found if you know where to look. This talk covers resources available in The National Archives, parish and county records, and manor, estate and farm sources. Mark Pearsall is the Principal Records Specialist - Family History and works in the Records Knowledge team in the Advice and Records Knowledge Department. He has worked in several departments of The National Archives over the years and has contributed articles to a number of family and local history publications. He is the author of The Family History Companion and co-authored The National Archives Guides on Immigrants and Aliens and Family History on the Move.

August 2, 2012 —
Over the years, I've edited a dozen or so music videos. I've always enjoyed working on them. Fitting the shots together to an already existing song is great fun. The song acts as a guide and a base to start from and the images almost always add something unexpected and exciting. You start to hear the song in a different and new way. It works a different side of my brain than editing a narrative film or documentary.
When my high school sweetheart Rose (now married to an amazing fellow) played me some tracks from her new local Scranton-based band, The Great Party, I jumped at the opportunity to make a video for them. I had not directed anything since junior year at NYU and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to help an old friend, a talented band and myself. The constant knots in my stomach were the reminder of my nervousness to be directing something again.
There are five members of The Great Party: Rose, her husband Mike and three other really talented local Scranton musicians. (Seriously, check them out.) The song is called "Teresa," and after bouncing around ideas with Rose for a few months we settled on a '90s homage. The video would be bright, fun and weird.
I asked good friend and very talented shooter David Jacobson to film it for me. He brought his amazing girlfriend Erika to do art direction/costumes and I convinced Alex, a production assistant from the documentary I'm working on, to come help.
We arrived in Scranton, PA late Friday night with a large 15-passenger van packed full of equipment. After arriving, we loaded all the equipment into the basement of the house we'd be shooting at and we had some beers on the porch and caught up. There's a funny mix of high school and film school. Rose, Mike and I stay up late, catch up and talk anxious excitement.
The next morning at 7 a.m. I grumble awake, instantly lamenting why we stayed up so late. After a two cups of coffee and a few hours of setting up for the first performance, the adrenaline kicks in and I am feeling great. The first hitch comes when the drummer (who was actually already a replacement) cancels and I have to teach Derek Williams, an old friend from Honesdale, how to fake it.
We shoot the first performance off a dolly in the front lawn, very green with a wide angle lens. It's great to see the band play together—they have fantastic chemistry and the energy is very high. Derek is killing it on the drums. If I didn't know he couldn't play, I wouldn't have been able to tell. I start to ease up a little bit.
The second performance is much more complicated, and I am going into it with less of a plan. I don't want to give too much away, but it involves a performance in a living room shot in slow mo; which means the band has to play the song twice as fast, with hundreds of feathers flying around the room.
As you can probably imagine, it looks great but is a logistical nightmare. Have you ever been in a room with feathers flying everywhere? I had not before last weekend. It's kind of a disaster, but when all was said and done, and the last puff of the last feather had fallen, it was well worth it.
With the performance out of the way on Saturday, Sunday is spent on the story elements of the video. I had originally thought we would shoot a few more locations close by but, in the end, I decided to cut them because I didn't want to waste too much of the day running around the city with such a small crew. There's an interesting simplification that happens when you are actually there on set. Many of the shots turn out better than expected and things start to shift around.
After wrapping on Sunday evening, we spent some time hanging with the band. We had all gotten extremely close over the past two days and it was a little sad to say goodbye.
It takes me a few days to decompress. But looking back I am so very proud of the footage we all shot and can't wait to see how it all comes together. I am usually in the position of making someone else's idea happen. It was amazing to have it be mine and quite touching to have help from friends; I could not have done it without them.
