Comment Period Extended for Proposed Helium Project in Eastern Utah
SALT LAKE CITY—Due to the recent 16-day federal government shutdown, the public comment period for a proposed helium exploration project in the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah Price Field Office will be extended through Nov. 1, 2013.
"After assessing our workload and priorities as part of an orderly reopening, we determined that extending the comment period for this project is important to ensure that we are managing BLM-Utah lands with full public input and participation," said Juan Palma, BLM-Utah State Director.
The BLM invites the public to review and comment on an Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzing the potential impacts of IACX Energy's proposal to drill a helium exploration well west of Highway 6 in Emery County. The proposed project would disturb approximately two acres.
The comment period for the Woodside Dome #2 Helium Exploration Project will be extended through Nov. 1, 2013. The EA is available for public review and comment on the Environmental Notification Bulletin Board (ENBB) at: https://www.blm.gov/ut/enbb/index.php; search for project name "Woodside Dome."
Written comments will be accepted by letter or email until Nov. 1, 2013. Please note that the most useful comments are those that contain new technical or scientific information relevant to the proposed action. Comments should be as specific as possible. Comments which contain only opinions or preferences will not receive a formal response, but may be considered in the BLM decision-making process. Please reference "Woodside Dome #2" when submitting comments.
Written comments may be mailed or emailed using the following:

Local man denies domestic assaultApril 17,2013Local man denies
domestic assault
A Mendon man charged with beating and choking a woman last week was jailed on $10,000 bail Monday after denying felony domestic assault.
Tristan L. Taylor, 29, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a charge of aggravated domestic assault in the second degree. He remained behind bars Tuesday in the Rutland jail.
Rutland City Police arrested him Friday night after they were called to an apartment on Grant Street by a woman who said Taylor assaulted her during an argument. The woman told police Taylor kicked her, grabbed her by the hair and threw her onto a bed where he allegedly choked her.
The woman told police she tried to fight back by biting and kicking and flailing her arms.
Taylor was not at the home when police arrived, but he was found shortly after at the corner of Elm Street and Grant Avenue. He told police he had just been attacked by a group of people who pulled up in a car and beat him up, according to court records.
If convicted, Taylor faces up to five years in jail.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Long-term U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER The Vermont attorney generals office says drug companies have complied with a state...

Rick Caridi, chairman of the Pike County Commissioners, is disappointed. Efforts to get elected officials to ask two federal agencies to reopen hearings on a controversial gas pipeline project have proven futile. So far no officials have written letters.
"I am surprised and disappointed that none of our officials have responded yet," he said.
The Pike County Commissioners are asking that the officials send letters to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) to reopen hearings on the Tennessee Gas Pipeline's (TGP) Northeast Upgrade Project (NEUP) project.
The opponents of the line's 7.1-mile trench around Milford who are supporting the commissioners are the Delaware Riverkeeper Network, the New Jersey Highlands Coalition and the New Jersey Chapter of the Sierra Club. Some of the opponents are saying that the company should use its existing right-of-way that passes through the Delaware Water Gap Recreational and National Area, which is controlled by the National Park Service (NPS).
Others, however, take a stricter view, and charge that TGP is being allowed to construct the line in violation of the law.
"The law requires that the company put forth the whole project, not just a piece of it," said Maya van Rossum, the Delaware Riverkeeper. But, she said, the company is being allowed to "segment" the project. "Also, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) should exercise their jurisdiction over this project and all of the others that are being proposed for the river watershed. They are all extremely damaging and the DRBC is not doing anything."
Van Rossum claims that there are 13 new expansion projects proposed to go through the Delaware River Watershed in the coming years. "We can't allow this precedent to happen with this TGP project," she said. "The Water Gap is public land for the benefit of all the people."
Van Rossum said that her organization would be against any further use by the TGP of its right-off-way through the Delaware Water Gap.
Due to its federal regulations, the National Park Service says that it cannot allow the company to extend its right-of-way from the existing 50 feet to 75 feet, which the company is requesting.
"It's just an example of sheer greed; the 50 foot right-of-way is sufficient," said Jolie DeFeis, a leader of a local opposition group called Save Cummins Hill. "People like Vince Vitale, who is an industry expert, says it's not necessary."
The environmental groups claim that TGP does not have the necessary state and federal permits to do the work, which was slated to begin on November 12.
Even though FERC approved the NEUP project at the end of May, the three groups are challenging the approval, and have requested a rehearing. They are represented by the Columbia Environmental Law Clinic.
In a letter to FERC, the group said that any construction that takes place before all required permits are issued would violate conditions set down by the federal commission and the permitting regimes of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Richard Pearsall, community relations coordinator for ACE, said that the corps has a lot on its plate with the hurricane's aftermath, but also stated that the agency would reexamine the question in the near future and respond to inquiries.
"We want to ensure the Milford, PA community understands that Tennessee Gas's path of destruction will affect all of us, not just those living along the pipeline route," DeFeis said. "We believe many people have been uninformed or misinformed."

My right breast produces A LOT more milk than my left. I would get so engorged in some spots that I thought they were clogs, but I went to my doc and he said there weren't any clogs.
My left side feels great all of the time....but my right gets so engorged before the next feeding. And at night...OMG....it fills up so fast and hurts so bad. My baby only wakes up twice to nurse at night (he is 5 weeks)...and therefore my right side doesn't always get drained. Last night I had to wake up twice just to pump off a little (less than an oz) just to get relief (I don't want to get clog ducts or mastitis).
Does anyone has suggestions to get the right to produce less and even out with the left? I was pumping to drain the breast when I thought I had clogs. But now, when my baby nurses on the left, I pump on the right just enough to get relief (about 2 oz)....I am hoping that sends the message to only produce what I need and not more. Is this right or should I be doing something else.

Scoring Drought Ends!!
Just in time for the start of the holiday weekend, the Phillies scoreless streak has ended, as they beat the Marlins 3-2 last night. The Delaware Valley rejoices!! I can begin the three-day weekend with a happy frame of mind.
Hope you all have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend!
8 Comments
So I blew it on the sweep thing, but I admitted that even when I did it, but a win is a win even if it was a rain delayed nail bitting game, I was glad to see Contreras save the game, it was more about getting some good hits and scoring at least one run last night, but the win makes it even better…
Have a great weekend…
Phillies Outside
Unfortunately, only a 1-0 score. You still seem to need a few more bats to wake up!
I'm glad that Halladay isn't pitching for the Jays! I'm glad we beat him when we did!
Congratulations again, Halladay! Have a great Memorial Day! Take care, Sue!🙂
Sorry for the double post. Posted on the wrong entry! Take care!🙂
Enjoy the Holiday/Halladay Weekend. And congrats on the Perfect Game!
I caught the last three innings and it was a great watch. Love seeing history in the making. Again, Congrats!
whooo hoooo!!!!!
one good news after another! ROY HALLADAY with the PERFECT GAME! I was probably just as excited as Phillies fans! Yay!!!
funny how Halladay never had a no hitter in the AL but once he comes to the NL he gets a perfect game two months later😛 Congrats. Sometimes it seems like the Yanks have a scoreless drought, but the Phillies now is baffling. Still think they'll pick it up. See you in the World Series😄
Sorry for the belated congrats on Halladay's perfect game. My bad. It's amazing to me that, with his talent, he hasn't pitched one before, but he really deserved it. Do you still miss Cliff Lee now? LOL.
I hope you had a good weekend…because after that one game and the Halladay no-hitter, it was all downhill. SO frustrating!

Walter Bagehot
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Bagehot, Walter)
Walter Bagehot (February 3 1826 – March 24 1877) was a British businessman, essayist and journalist who wrote about literature, government and economics.
The English Constitution (1867)[edit]
- A political country is like an American forest; you have only to cut down the old trees, and immediately new trees come up to replace them.
- But the mass of the old electors did not analyse very much: they liked to have one of their "betters" to represent them; if he was rich they respected him much; and if he was a lord, they liked him the better. The issue put before these electors was, which of two rich people will you choose? And each of those rich people was put forward by great parties whose notions were the notions of the rich—whose plans were their plans. The electors only selected one or two wealthy men to carry out the schemes of one or two wealthy associations.
- Introduction, p. xiii
- The "old electors" Bagehot refers to were the £10 borough householders enfranchised by the Reform Act of 1832.
- In excited states of the public mind they have scarcely a discretion at all; the tendency of the public perturbation determines what shall and what shall not be dealt with. But, upon the other hand, in quiet times statesmen have great power; when there is no fire lighted, they can settle what fire shall be lit. And as the new suffrage is happily to be tried in a quiet time, the responsibility of our statesmen is great because their power is great too.
- A cabinet is a combining committee,—a hyphen which joins, a buckle which fastens, the legislative part of the state to the executive part of the state. In its origin it belongs to the one, in its functions it belongs to the other.
- Cabinet governments educate the nation; the presidential does not educate it, and may corrupt it.
- Under a cabinet constitution at a sudden emergency this people can choose a ruler for the occasion. It is quite possible and even likely that he would not be ruler before the occasion. The great qualities, the imperious will, the rapid energy, the eager nature fit for a great crisis are not required—are impediments—in common times. A Lord Liverpool is better in everyday politics than a Chatham—a Louis Philippe far better than a Napoleon. By the structure of the world we want, at the sudden occurrence of a grave tempest, to change the helmsman—to replace the pilot of the calm by the pilot of the storm.
- The Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights—the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn.
- Nations touch at their summits.
- Whatever expenditure is sanctioned—even when it is sanctioned against the ministry's wish—the ministry must find the money. Accordingly, they have the strongest motive to oppose extra outlay.... The ministry is (so to speak) the breadwinner of the political family, and has to meet the cost of philanthropy and glory; just as the head of a family has to pay for the charities of his wife and the toilette of his daughters.
- The caucus is a sort of representative meeting which sits voting and voting till they have cut out all the known men against whom much is to be said, and agreed on some unknown man against whom there is nothing known, and therefore nothing to be alleged.
- No. V, The House of Commons, p. 155
- Bagehot was commenting on the method of selecting Presidential candidates in the United States.
- Free government is self-government. A government of the people by the people. The best government of this sort is that which the people think best.
- The greatest enjoyment possible to man was that which this philosophy promises its votaries—the pleasure of being always right, and always reasoning—without ever being bound to look at anything.
- No. VII, Its Supposed Checks and Balances, p. 250
- An unsourced quote attributed to Bagehot says: "The greatest pleasure in life is doing what other people say you cannot do."
Physics and Politics (1869)[edit]
- The great difficulty which history records is not that of the first step, but that of the second step. What is most evident is not the difficulty of getting a fixed law, but getting out of a fixed law; not of cementing (as upon a former occasion I phrased it) a cake of custom, but of breaking the cake of custom; not of making the first preservative habit, but of breaking through it, and reaching something better.
- Ch. 2, The Use of Conflict
- "Maternity," it has been said, "is a matter of fact, paternity is a matter of opinion."
- One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea.
- Ch. 5, The Age of Discussion
- All the inducements of early society tend to foster immediate action; all its penalties fall on the man who pauses; the traditional wisdom of those times was never weary of inculcating that "delays are dangerous," and that the sluggish man — the man "who roasteth not that which he took in hunting" — will not prosper on the earth, and indeed will very soon perish out of it. And in consequence an inability to stay quiet, an irritable desire to act directly, is one of the most conspicuous failings of mankind.
- Ch. 5
- I wish the art of benefiting men had kept pace with the art of destroying them; for though war has become slow, philanthropy has remained hasty. The most melancholy of human reflections, perhaps, is that, on the whole, it is a question whether the, benevolence of mankind does most good or harm. Great good, no doubt, philanthropy does, but then it also does great evil. It augments so much vice, it multiplies so much suffering, it brings to life such great populations to suffer and to be vicious, that it is open to argument whether it be or be not an evil to the world, and this is entirely because excellent people fancy that they can do much by rapid action — that they will most benefit the world when they most relieve their own feelings; that as soon as an evil is seen "something" ought to be done to stay and prevent it.
- Ch. 5
Lombard Street: A Description of the Money Market (1873)[edit]
- Most men of business think "Anyhow this system will probably last my time. It has gone on a long time, and is likely to go on still."
- Ch. I, Introductory
- Credit means that a certain confidence is given, and a certain trust reposed. Is that trust justified? and is that confidence wise? These are the cardinal questions. To put it more simply credit is a set of promises to pay; will those promises be kept?
- Ch. II, A General View of Lombard Street
- The less money lying idle the greater is the dividend.
- Ch. II, A General View of Lombard Street
- The name 'London Banker' had especially a charmed value. He was supposed to represent, and often did represent, a certain union of pecuniary sagacity and educated refinement which was scarcely to be found in any other part of society.
Literary Studies (1879)[edit]
- To a great experience one thing is essential — an experiencing nature.
- The purse strings tie us to our kind.
- The reason why so few good books are written is, that so few people that can write know anything. In general an author has always lived in a room, has read books, has cultivated science, is acquainted with the style and sentiments of the best authors, but he is out of the way of employing his own eyes and ears. He has nothing to hear and nothing to see. His life is a vacuum.
- Shakespeare
- A highly developed moral nature joined to an undeveloped intellectual nature, an undeveloped artistic nature, and a very limited religious nature, is of necessity repulsive. It represents a bit of human nature — a good bit, of course, but a bit only — in disproportionate, unnatural and revolting prominence.
- Wordsworth, Tennyson and Browning
Biographical Studies (1907)[edit]
- A constitutional statesman is in general a man of common opinions and uncommon abilities.
- You may talk of the tyranny of Nero and Tiberius; but the real tyranny is the tyranny of your next-door neighbor... Public opinion is a permeating influence, and it exacts obedience to itself; it requires us to think other men's thoughts, to speak other men's words, to follow other men's habits.
- Sir Robert Peel
- It is good to be without vices, but it is not good to be without temptations.
- [Of Guizot] A Puritan born in France by mistake.
- Honor sinks where commerce long prevails.
- Where wealth and freedom reign, contentment fails,
And honor sinks, where commerce long prevails.
— Oliver Goldsmith, "The Traveller; or, a Prospect of Society'" (1764). This quote can be found on the Oliver Goldsmith page.
- Where wealth and freedom reign, contentment fails,
- I started out by believing God for a newer car than the one I was driving. I started out believing God for a nicer apartment than I had. Then I moved up.
- Jim Bakker, quoted in Redeeming America: Piety and Politics in the New Christian Right by Michael Lienesch (UNC Press, 1993), p. 45

I'm still not sure about this. I do really like it but I think it's a bit too flamboyant for its own good sometimes. I like the simplicity of songs like 'Rising' but often it feels like I'm listening to a film score which means the guitars sound kinda lazy and uninspired at points. A death metal version of Rhapsody perhaps?
Anyway this is probably gonna top 2011's list of albums.
Written by corrupt on 22.04.2011 at 22:49
That's pretty much the opposite of my own perception. At first I would have agreed with you because on the first few spins, the orchestra really dominates. But once I got into it, I realized that they are in fact not doing the Rhapsody thing. The orchestra is not there just for the sake of having one. It serves to support the sound in well-defined places without cutting off it's edges.
Written by Mikyz on 22.04.2011 at 23:12
Sounding like a Film Score isn't a bad thing Personally, I think they balanced the orchestra and themselves quite well. The composition undoubtedly gives the orchestra the upper hand, which I found to be all the more engaging and not at all off putting. This is for fans of early Therion imo, and its definitely going to end up on my year-end list.

You really inspire people to check this out.

This is for fans of early Therion imo,
early Therion has no orchestration whatsoever. And is plain old straight ahead death metal. Great though and vastkly superior to what they churn out now. Butsaying this album is for fans of early Therion is way off. Lepaca Kliffoth I can see, but not Of Darkness...., Beyond Sanctorum, or even Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas era Therion and that's the ear I would call early Therion
Written by Troy Killjoy on 22.04.2011 at 22:24
I'd give this review a 9/10 but the album a 6.

Fracking gag rescinded, lawsuit withdrawn
April 24, 2013 —
SANFORD, NY — The board members of the Town of Sanford were so sick of hearing residents complain about gas drilling and fracking that in September 2012, the board passed a resolution forbidding residents from talking about it during public comment.
That sparked a federal lawsuit from local residents who were joined by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy (CCSE). The lawsuit argued that the resolution was a violation of the free speech rights of town residents.
On April 9, the town board passed another resolution rescinding the order, but they reserved the right to hold residents to a three-minute time limit during public comment,
NRDC and CCSE withdrew their lawsuit, and claimed a victory for freedom of speech. Kate Sinding, director of the Community Fracking Defense Project at NRDC, said, "This is a vindication of the right to free speech. And it sends a message to communities everywhere. As Americans, we have the right to speak up when we feel threatened. And it is our government's responsibility to listen."
Tom Wilinsky of CCSE said, "We are gratified that Sanford dropped its unconstitutional ban on free speech. It's unfortunate that it required litigation to re-establish this fundamental right for the citizens of Sanford, but by rescinding the ban now, the Town Board at least spared the taxpayers the expense of a protracted and costly lawsuit."

We've got all of the current promotions from every retailer you can think of all right here! Check back frequently to make sure you get the best price no matter what computer you choose.
Before you jump into the various options, consider your computing needs. Is portability important? Are you just browsing the web or are you a gamer who needs a fast processor and a killer graphics card? Do you need lots of storage or are you keeping things in the cloud?
And don't forget all the other features to consider. Do you want a touch screen? How about a solid state drive (SSD) for faster performance? If you're going with a laptop, do you want small and lightweight or big and more productive? Once you pin down what you really need, you'll be able to narrow down the pool of options.
There are a few times during the year when we typically see good deals on computers. Black Friday often brings decent sales on laptops and desktops, but you'll also find great deals during back-to-school sales in August and September, as well as in January and February when retailers are clearing out inventory. When you're ready to buy, check out Amazon first, as they tend to have the best selection, good prices and easy navigation. If you'd rather go the brick-and-mortar route, Best Buy is your best bet.

The state senate confirmed Richard W. Pollack as an associate justice for the Hawaii Supreme Court Friday in a special legislative session.
Pollack, 61, was Gov. Neil Abercrombie's nominee to the high court. Pollack served as a Circuit Court judge and taught at the University of Hawaii Richardson School of Law for decades.
Pollack was also a public defender and a staunch protector of the State Constitution. He told a senate committee that the State Constitution offers Hawaii residents protection not offered on the federal level.
Pollack was confirmed with ayes from 24 senators. Sen. Sam Slom voted aye with reservations. No one voted against Pollack. Sen. Maile Shimabukuro was excused from the vote.
The new Supreme Court judge will serve for a term of 10 years.
Pollack fills the vacancy created by the retirement of Justice James E. Duffy Jr.
"We are confident that Justice Pollack will serve the Supreme Court well with his extensive experience as a judge in the Circuit Court," said Senate President Shan Tsutsui. "We believe he will uphold our state constitution and work to ensure that the laws are applied fairly, equally and appropriately for all the people of Hawaii."
"Judge Richard Pollack will be a valuable asset to the Hawaii Supreme Court. His compassion, integrity and knowledge of the law will guide him in service to the people of Hawaii. I am honored to have Chaired his confirmation," said Clayton Hee, Chairman of the Committee on Judiciary and Labor.
Peter T. Cahill was also confirmed as a Circuit Court judge of the Second Circuit, located on Maui, by the senate. There were 24 ayes and none against the confirmation. Sen. Maile Shimabukuro was excused from the vote.
Cahill filled the vacancy left by the retirement of Judge Shackley F. Raffetto.
"Judge Cahill possesses the professional experience, exceptional legal skills, and even temperament inherent of a good jurist. I believe that the people of Maui will be well-served under his judgeship," said Senator Roz Baker, who represents South and West Maui.
"Judge Cahill's even-keeled temperament, intellect, and commitment to leadership are characteristics that will make him an asset to the State's Second Circuit Court and to the people of Maui," said Senator J. Kalani English, who represents Hana, East and Upcountry Maui, Molokai, Lanai and Kahoolawe.
Cahill currently serves as an attorney at Cahill & O'Neill on the island of Maui, concentrating on injury and wrongful death cases. Prior to his employment at Cahill & O'Neill, he worked as a lawyer at Krueger & Cahill and the Law Office of James Krueger.
Cahill earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Seton Hall University in South Orange, New Jersey, and his Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Notre Dame Law School.
We will have video from the confirmation tonight on KITV4 News at 5, 6 and 10.

Updated Feb. 16/16
I'm a 30-something-year-old aspiring writer. I've written several short stories that I'm looking to get published someday soon.
I'm also looking to finish a novel that I've been writing for the last several years.
I work as a paginator (I do page layout for our local weekly newspaper) and absolutely love it! I'm also an amateur photographer.
I'm a proud new mom of a sweet little baby boy born Feb. 3/15. He showed up 4.5 weeks early, but thankfully after a week in the hospital he's great now. :)
I'm married to an absolute amazing man who "puts up" with my tea obsession.
It wasn't until a few years after high school that I finally became interested in tea. I started with Orange Pekoe double double (milk not cream), and peppermint. Since that time, I've really opened up to other kinds of tea and I've well… I've kind of just went nuts since then.
I don't drink much bagged tea anymore. It's mostly loose leaf in my cupboard. The only except are a couple that were given to me and they sound too good!
I would have to say my favourite kinds are (in no particular order): black, herbal, white and rooibos (definitely prefer the green to red, but will drink the red too).
Green teas, pu'erh, and matcha are starting to grow on me but I'm very picky about them still. I am finding I like pu'erh tea cakes much better than loose. And with matcha I much prefer flavoured ones over straight.
I still don't really care for mate teas but there a couple that are the exception to that.
I drink tea every single day. I absolutely love it. I can't image my life without it.
I don't log every time I drink a tea as I don't want to spam everyone with tons of duplicate loggings, but I will log when I have a new tea, which happens on a regular basis and when I do a SIPDOWN! :D

Beyond sentiment analysis: social data analytics
How can companies get their arms around the rapidly changing arena of social media? Gone are the days where sentiment analysis or micro-targeted marketing could meet business needs--today's businesses require social data analytics.
What is social data analytics?
Social data analytics comprises two main constiuent parts: 1) data generated from social networking sites (or through social applications), and 2) sophisticated analysis of that data, in many cases requiring real-time (or near real-time) data analytics, measurements which understand and appropriately weigh factors such as influence, reach, and relevancy, an understanding of the context of the data being analyzed, and the inclusion of time horizon considerations. In short, social data analytics involves the analysis of social media in order to understand and surface insights which is embedded within the data.
Current examples of social data analytics
Social data analytics exists today: when the Annenberg Innovation Lab decided to track and understand how sentiment evolved and impacted the Arab Spring movements sweeping the Middle East, they employed social data analytics. Further, when the same lab decided to understand how sentiment might be able to predict box office potential for yet-to-be-released movies, they also performed social data analytics. When one of the world's leading research institutions wanted to understand how social media could impact how their clients conducted public awareness campaigns, social data analytics also played a role. Most companies understand that social media may have important roles to play in how they conduct business...the problem is that most are unaware of how to go about tackling the problem.
Solutions exist today
jStart has been leading exploration of this space by combining the skills of the jStart team with regards to sophisticated data analytics, text analytics, and specific tooling:
- Social Dashboard - Use engagement analytics to understand how to understand social networks and relationships.
- BigSheets - to handle massive amounts of data typical in social data analytics
- IBM Watson - the team's expertise on Watson technology has proven useful when tackling social data analytics
- Semantic Enrichment - our background with semantic enrichment also lends itself to tackling social data analytics challenges

Key concepts to understand in social data analytics
When talking about social data analytics, there are a number of factors it's important to keep in mind (which we noted earlier):
- Sophisticated Data Analysis: what distinguishes social data analytics from sentiment analysis is the depth of the analysis. Social data analysis takes into consideration a number of factors (context, content, sentiment) to provide additional insight.
- Time consideration: windows of opportunity are significantly limited in the field of social networking. What's relevant one day (or even one hour) may not be the next. Being able to quickly execute and analyze the data is an imperative.
- Influence Analysis: understanding the potential impact of specific individuals can be key in understanding how messages might be resonating. It's not just about quantity, it's also very much about quality.
- Network Analysis: social data is also interesting in that it migrates, grows (or dies) based on how the data is propagated throughout the network. It's how viral activity starts--and spreads.
Practical Business Value
As you might imagine, the business value created by such systems would be significant. Imagine a climate system which pulls data from every weather station on the globe, and which continues to gather data which may be relevant to environmental forecasts (amount of man made structures from mapping software, pollution projections based on demographic and power generation requirements, cross referential data which combines information from numerous sources--perhaps salinity levels, ocean albedo/diffuse reflectivity, etc.--to project evaportation trends and add that as a factor in a precipitation forecast, etc).
In short: it's not just about the amount of data you have. It's about understanding what that data is trying to tell you--and revealing non-obvious factors which influence that understanding. Semantic enrichment is yet another tool to do this--and which can be applied in almost any business scenario in which big data is a part of the equation.

On the final play of regulation in the Division I state championship game, Upper Arlington did just about everything as it had been drawn up a few seconds earlier. Lakewood St. Edward, by coach Tim Flannery's own admission, got lucky.
Senior forward Marsalis Hamilton — probably the last option on a well-defended play — drained a three-pointer in the final second to force overtime, and the Eagles went on to beat UA 62-58 in overtime before 14,234 in Value City Arena.
A timeout had been called with 4.7 seconds to go.
"The play was designed for Tony (Vuyancih) and he wasn't open, so he threw it to Kipper (Nichols) and he flipped to me," said Hamilton, who had made only 2 of 9 three-pointers all season. "I took a dribble, created a little space for myself and let it fly. I'm not usually option anything in that situation, but sometimes you've just got to shoot with confidence and believe in all the work you've put in."
With the play developing a matter of feet in front of him, Flannery sighed as Hamilton let it fly.
"When he shot it I was like, 'Ohhhh,' then, 'OK,' " Flannery said. "It was just an unbelievable shot in those circumstances. I'm just in a little bit of shock right now. I don't know how we pulled it out."
It was a bitter pill to swallow for Upper Arlington coach Tim Casey and his players.
The Golden Bears had just snookered the Eagles on a double inbounds pass from Danny Hummer to Kevin Vannatta, who threw a long pass to Hummer streaking uncovered down the floor for a layup with 11 seconds left. It was 52-49, UA.
"At that point, I felt pretty good about our chances," said Casey, adding that Hamilton's well-defended shot will eat at him forever.
"I kick myself for not fouling right there. We wanted to make sure Kipper or Vuyancih did not get off a shot. We did everything right. That's the guy we would have wanted at the foul line, too. I don't know what to say. We just couldn't come up with enough big stops."
Both teams milked their possessions in overtime, working for high-percentage shots.
With St. Edward leading 56-54, Vannatta missed a three-pointer with 46 seconds left. The Eagles fired a quick outlet pass and got a layup by Vuyancih at the 41-second mark.
St. Edward (26-2) made 4 of 4 free throws in the final 22.5 seconds to salt away its second title. It was the first trip to the final four for UA (27-2) since 1937. There were nine lead changes and eight ties.
"I guess we just had kind of a lapse on defense on the final play in regulation," Vannatta said. "He was just too open if he was able to make it. Give him credit for making a big-time shot that all of us dream of making."
Nichols scored 26 points for St. Edward, which shot 61.5 percent from the field (24 of 39).
Vannatta and Hummer had 15 points each for UA, which shot 58.8 percent (20 of 34).
"Before that shot went in, I can't describe the feeling on the bench," UA senior guard Wes Davis said. "I don't even know how that shot went in. We're going to wonder that for a long time."

>I forgot to tell you all what I made for dinner for my family on Valentine's Day. I did roast a chicken, because its one meal they ALL devour and I can dress it up or down depending on the sides I prepare with it. Glazed carrots are another favorite- and this year, I tried a new recipe from the Old Farmer's Almanac "Everyday Recipes" cook-azine. Success!
Plain baked sweet potatoes are great; this way of preparing them is sublime. Serve with turkey dishes, along with cold apple or cranberry sauce.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
4 medium-size sweet potatoes
3/4 cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons maple syrup
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and freshly
ground pepper, to taste
ground cinnamon or nutmeg, for garnish
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Pierce the sweet potatoes two or three times with a fork. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the flesh is tender. Slit the skin to let the steam escape.
Heat the milk, butter, and maple syrup in a large skillet or saute pan; do not boil. Scoop the sweet potato flesh into the same pan, then mash mixture together with a potato masher. Mash in the lemon juice and salt and pepper, to taste; the texture should be slightly lumpy but still mashed. Serve right from the pan or transfer to a serving dish. Dust the top with cinnamon or nutmeg, and serve at once.
One thing that's really appealing to me with this cookbook is that the recipes are short and simple to follow. Regardless of the number of ingredients, this is full of simple to make and follow recipes. I made some biscuits last week with the kids helping, and the house just smelled so good with fresh baked biscuits. My 5 year old read the recipe to us. Lots of family fun with cooking! (and mess…)

Last year's event raised $432. This year's Relay For Life Bee County committee is hoping the pancake breakfast will attract more customers and raise more money.
"This year, the committee will be at Whataburger greeting customers, selling luminarias and registering survivors," said Relay For Life chairman Normagrace Flores. "There will also be a raffle for a coffee lovers basket and door prizes every 30 minutes."
This year's committee has made a strong presence in the community with the Bark For Life event, the Bras For A Cure event as well as countless bake sales, car washes and other fundraisers throughout the community.
"We are happy to be working with Whataburger in making this event a success. It is a wonderful opportunity for families to have breakfast and support a great cause that has helped so many people in the community," said survivor coordinator Rose Ann Aleman.
"I encourage all local survivors to come by and register for our relay event. We relay to celebrate the survivors and remember the ones we've lost. We also honor the caregivers for the love and support they give loved ones while they battle cancer. We like to meet everyone in the community who has been affected and let them know we honor them and appreciate those who stood by their side. There's no better time to do that than at a community breakfast."

The sour economy and actions in Albany are making it painful for officials to create the 2012/13 school budget. At a meeting of the Sullivan West Central School District (SWCSD) Board of Education on April 5, superintendent Dr. Ken Hilton presented the proposed budget.
Hilton said one of the biggest challenges is making up for the $2 million drop in funding the district receives from state aid compared to 2009/10. State aid now makes up 40% of the total; in 2009/10 that figure was 47%.
Hilton also railed against the 2% property tax cap mandated by Albany, which, because of the intricacies of the law, actually translates to a 1.67% cap in SWCSD. Hilton said the tax is regressive and hurts poor districts more than rich ones. He compared SWCSD to a hypothetical one he named Fancy-Pants (FPCSD) that might be located in Westchester County. He said a 1.67% increase in the SWCSD tax levy is equal to about .08% of the budget, while a 1.67% increase at FPCSD would be equal to about 1.6% of that budget, giving the wealthier district the ability to raise a higher percentage of funds while remaining within the tax cap.
Hilton stressed most heavily the fact that the tax cap would gradually eat into the district's ability to fulfill its core mission of educating students. Many costs are rising at a rate much higher than 1.67%. Health care costs, for instance, are rising 8% this year, and a family policy for a district employee together with dental coverage will now cost about $22,200 per year.
Hilton said the combined costs of retirement programs, Social Security payments and health benefits ate up 16% of the budget in 2006/07 and for 2012/13 those costs will eat up about 21% of the budget. As these costs continue to rise at rates above 1.67%, there will be less money available for programs and other educational essentials.
Board member Angela Daly also spoke out against the impacts of the 1.67% property tax cap, saying the public didn't understand its ramifications, and that she was particularly concerned that lawmakers in Albany had passed the cap without granting the promised mandate relief that would allow districts to remain within the cap without imposing sharp cuts.
To keep the budget within the cap this year, Hilton and Lorraine Poston of the business administration office recommended a couple of cost-saving measures, including doing away with all but essential field trips. This would save $38,000 and bring in the field trips cost to about $7,000. Some members of the board, however, were reluctant to cut the trips so deeply. Board member John Regerro said for some students the field trips represent their only exposure to the arts.
It was noted that Poston had boosted her estimation of the cost of diesel fuel for the coming year from $4.80 a gallon to $5. Board member Daley said that every dime in cost increase represented about $17,000 in cost to the district, and if the estimated cost were reduced to be $4.90, then $17,000 could be added to the field trip budget. The consensus of the board was to change the estimated cost of diesel.
In another cost-saving move, Hilton recommended eliminating 5.1 full-time equivalent positions, about half of them through retirement or re-assignment. The involuntary lay-offs would include a part-time certified librarian for the elementary school, who would be replaced by a teaching assistant, which would allow the library to remain open for the entire school day. Several teachers said that this seemed unfair in light of the fact that no one from any of the sports programs were being cut.
On a separate matter, Hilton noted that even with the proposed cuts, class sizes would remain the same or in some cases be a bit smaller than this year, due to the declining student population. He also noted there were no cuts programs related to art, music, drama, college credits and special education.

Those who love to kvetch about the Crest Gastropub, and we know who we are, probably know that Ethyl & Tank has an unusual moniker, but a familiar lineage. Yes, Ethyl & Tank — whose clunky name refers to some defunct truck stop in Georgia (huh?) — shares owners with the Crest. Because of this, Crest dissenters might peremptorily dismiss this newcomer. That would be unfortunate.
See, though E&T is visually fetching like the Crest, it outperforms its elder sibling, and does so at much better prices — and without all the disappointment-inducing hoopla, hype and pretension. Other huge bonuses include a solid beer selection, extra-generous happy hours (all drinks are half-off on weekdays from 3-9 p.m.; and 2-7 on weekends), sports-tuned TVs and a super-convenient-for-OSU-denizens/visitors, middle-of-campus location. This — and (mostly) good food — rocket E&T to the short list of best places to hang out on campus.
My first E&T experience was at an eye-opening brunch (served 8 a.m.-4p.m., Saturdays and Sundays). E&T's striking seafoam-green tile, rustically exposed brick, vintage signage and parquet-esque floor set the open, airy and handsome stage for several dining areas, a coffee bar (pour-overs available), regular bars and an upstairs gaming room. Overall, the impression is of a stylish, fun and evolving long-beloved campus classic — instead of an instant hit.
Here's another hit: a 40-or-so-item brunch-time DIY Bloody Mary bar. Order one (only $5) and you'll get a pint glass sloshing with vodka and ice you'll then go garnish-nuts on (hint: lead with the green tomatillo-based mix).
Another brunch home run was the midday menu's overachieving if messy Not So Classic Cobb sandwich ($9; served with crispy and non-greasy waffle fries). Though given a gimmicky presentation — served on a pie pan and stabbed with a knife — not a single ingredient (tender grill-marked chicken chunks, chopped hard egg, arugula, blue cheese, tomato, tangy pulled pork, crispy bacon, avocado and ranch dressing) was missing from its toasted puffy brioche roll. Less dynamic but certainly solid was the pleasant — and ingredient-intact — Smothered Breakfast Burrito leviathan ($7).
A minor brunch stumble was the huge and good-tasting Orange Blossom French Toast ($7). Though this looked great, it was too gooey and too heavy on the (light on the whiskey) "Jameson Maple Syrup."
As a dinner beginner, the mammoth Trio of Dips ($7) corralled thick and fried-here potato chips and tortilla chips with these dips: fresh and excellent French onion, zesty nacho cheese (misidentified as "beer cheese") and oddly bland bean. I guess two outta three ain't bad for this size and price.
The best-thing-I-ate-here Sliced Beef Brisket & Collard Greens ($10) went four-for-four. Here, easy-to-devour, smoky long beef strips (get the ketchup-y barbecue sauce on the side) were complemented by addictive greens (vinegar, pigmeat and sweet sauteed onions gave them an "agrodolce"-flavoring), grill-crusted (and not-too-sweet) cornbread, plus stiff, dairy-fied smashed redskin potatoes.
A massive Open Faced Meatloaf sandwich ($9) was filling and comforting. Onion straws (a little greasy) topped a melted cheese-capped slab of mild-flavored loaf resting on dense mashers slathered on a thick piece of toast. A gratuitous side of good-tasting handcut fries — only some were crispy — was included.
The best thing about E&T's tacos was their $2 price, and the best E&T taco I tried was the pulled chicken. So, hell no, everything's not aces here, but grading on a why-are-most-campus-places-so-lame curve, Ethyl and Tank earns an easy "A."

Advanced Micro Devices believes that its next-generation ultra low-power platform code-named Brazos will not only power netbooks and similar types of devices, but will also address new form-factors.
AMD's Brazos platform is based on the code-named Ontario accelerated processing unit (APU) that features dual-core x86 microprocessor powered by the code-named Bobcat micro-architecture as well as DirectX 11-class graphics chip. The platform is due sometime in 2011 and is likely to be more power efficient than AMD's current offerings for netbooks, which is exactly why AMD makes claims about "new form-factors". Earlier AMD revealed that the actual Ontario APU will be able to offer 90% of today's "mainstream performance" in less than half of die area.
Unfortunately, at this point AMD does not seem to have much to say about Brazos besides the already known information.
"AMD is currently not painting a strategy around tablets and slates, Brazos would be suited for [new] form-factors such as these," said Tan See Ghee, marketing director for South Asia at AMD, reports ZDNet Asia web-site.
It is a positive news that AMD admits necessity to address various new types of mobile devices that are set to emerge in 2010 – 2011 timeframe, however, without actual plans the company may find it rather hard to address actual products. The design cycle for ultra-portable or ultra-mobile applications is much longer than that of personal computers and without concrete plans, products and roadmaps it is extremely hard to compete for such devices. Up to this point AMD still has not revealed process technology that is to be used to make Ontario processors: everything that AMD says now is that all of its APUs will be made "under 32nm" process technology, but does not reveal whether it is bulk, SOI, TSMC's or Globalfoundries' fabrication process.
A little bit more known about processors powered by the Bobcat micro-architecture in general. According to AMD, Bobcat chips will feature x86-64, virtualization, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 technologies and will be single-threaded with out-of-order execution.

^^^ ikno very weird hmmmm
Another game against the Knicks in which Bargnani plays on the level of Kobe Bryant.
win 5
lose 2 so i guess that = 49-33 7 or 6 seed
lets go Ray! he's ballin rite now
Riverside Ray taken over!
Laundry "igot Hops not Hopes" Fields
Good to see Felton take over when Stoudemire is struggling.The Knicks are most effective when they finish out quarters strong.
Thanks though. Im bookmarking all these sites.
Felton bailed us out in that first half. Hopefully STAT comes alive in the 2nd half. We should put Gallo or Chandler on Barg.
Craptors are getting any shot they want.
The Knicks have to stop them.
The Knicks need to trade Gallo before he becomes D-league material.

text: In 1903, Cabalist Banker Prophesied Gulf Apocalypse 0x6a656666 posted:6/20/2010 7:22:02 AM The novella tells the story of Dr. Jessegrim who has made a fortune in the mescaline business.He decides to go into oil.All of Mexico was standing on caves which were partly at least filled with petroleum, and connected with each other. Jessegrim resolves to blast away the separations between the caves. After the last detonation, the oil was to flow from the underground deposit in Mexico into the ocean and form a glass surface, which continues to grow, taken by the gulf stream, soon covering the entire Atlantic surface. The coasts were barren and the population retreated into the interior of the land.Instead of being arrested, in Meyrink's story, Jessegrim is hired as a consultant. He says: "If the oil continues to spill as it does, it will have covered the oceans of the world in 27 to 29 weeks and there will be no more rains, ever, as water can not evaporate anymore. At best, it will rain petroleum."First widely criticized, this prophecy (of Dr. Jessegrim) becomes increasingly plausible as the hidden flow does not stop, and when it increases dramatically, panic grips humanity. Cable from USA to EU: "Oil leaks increase constantly. Situation extremely dangerous. Advise immediately whether stink there is also unbearable".In Meyrink's occult circles, they were fantasizing about oil reserves gushing into the ocean, from the Gulf of Mexico, covering the oceans.

Neither Makow or his minions ever cite reliable sources for most of their contrived beliefs. Henry Makow and his cult of followers are trite little right-wing morons that often believe fiction to be fact. Makow's notions about Pocahontas, for example, suggest that he thinks the Disney cartoon was a documentary!

Dr. Mehmet Oz (Courtesy: doctoroz.com)The DFRC Blue-Gold All-Star Football game will celebrate its 58th year when it kicks off Saturday at 7pm at Delaware Stadium.
One player in the game 35 years ago was Tower Hill alum Dr. Mehmet Oz, the host of "The Dr. Oz Show", who remembers meeting his hand-in-hand buddy John, who had a developmental disability.
"When I actually began to try to connect to him on what I thought was a very simple level, it became a challenge because he always ended up running into problems understanding what I wanted to do. And initially it was very frustrating to me."
"When I tried to tell John what to do, hold the sprinkler, we're going to cut the hedges, things that people do together. I couldn't just tell him what to do because he had to understand it on an emotional level just like all of us. Once I connected emotionally to him, we became very close."
Dr. Oz, says he didn't end his friendship with John after the future television star went off to play football and water polo at Harvard.
"I reconnected with him recently after several years. I wanted to see what happened, and he hadn't changed at all."
Other alums of the game include Super Bowl MVP Randy White, and Congressman John Carney, who's son Sam is playing in this year's game.
Tickets to Saturday night's game will be available at the Delaware Stadium gates.

The E205 Initiative, to enhance and improve parks in East Portland, has been completed.
Championed by City Commissioner Nick Fish, the E205 Initiative improves existing city parks and facilities in the area east of Interstate 205. The region does not have the rich tradition of parks and recreational places seen elsewhere in Portland, according to officials at Portland Parks and Recreation.
E205 is a series of projects at 12 East Portland parks and included adding new amenities that make an immediate impact, such as playgrounds, park benches, soft-surface trails, fenced off-leash areas for dogs, new and refurbished playground equipment, and adding water fountains.
"The E205 Initiative is a tremendous first step in meeting our commitments to East Portland," said Fish, who serves as the commissioner overseeing Parks and Recreation. "By maximizing the impact of the limited money available, we've quickly improved the quality of parks in East Portland. We are seeing a big impact through E205's relatively small changes."
"One in five Portland families doesn't have ready access to a park or natural area," Fish said. "The city proudly made the E205 Initiative a priority. And now the E205 projects have given East Portland more safe places for kids and affordable community anchors for neighborhoods."
Partners, including the Portland Parks Foundation, helped raise funds for the E205 Initiative.
"A healthy community needs parks and every child deserves a place to play," said Nick Hardigg, executive director of the Portland Parks Foundation. "It was gratifying to raise funds and awareness for this issue."

Four Ways to Meditate
Learn the stress reducing benefits of being in the moment
© molka/istockphoto.com
Finding inner peace can sometimes result in a frustrating battle between your desire to just chill out and the realities and stresses of the world. Between appointments, work, family, friends and other distractions it can be difficult to be in the moment and simply relax. There is no one specific formula about how to properly meditate, each person is different in how they approach their own state of calm. My favorite ways to get into a meditative state of mind are as follows:
Counting your breath: With closed eyes, inhale silently counting up to 5, exhale silently counting down from 5, and hold with no air in your lungs for another 5 counts. Repeat 5x.
Alternate nostril breathing: Using the thumb and ring finger on right hand, with eyes closed, close off the right nostril with the thumb and inhale through the left nostril. At the top of the inhale, close off both nostrils (using the ring finger for the left one) and then release thumb from right nostril to let the air drain out. Inhale right, with the left still closed off and then at the top of the inhale close off both again. Release left, letting the air drain out and repeat sequence, cycling the air through the body.
Repeating a Phrase: Whether it's chanting "Om" or repeating the same positive phrase over and over in your head, it helps to have the mind have one focal point. Try by repeating "I am" on the inhale, and "here" on the exhale.
- Visualization Meditation: Sometimes the best way to do it is through visualization and transporting your mind someplace else. You're put in a more tranquil state of mind, naturally keeping you more relaxed and positive in everyday life. I suggest beginners start right before bed, utilize aromatherapy and calming music and do visualization techniques to help guide them into a meditation.
Try this visualization meditation to help ease you slowly into a meditative state:
Laying on a flat and supportive surface with spine in alignment, slowly begin to sink deeply into the ground.
First feet, then legs, core, arms shoulders, and head…fully releasing any tension left in body and mind, melting deeper as if sinking into a floating cloud. Our body feels very heavy as every muscle relaxes, floating high in the clear blue sky. As the cloud floats on, the sun shines bright and warm, feeling comforting and safe. The cool breeze gently blows upon our skin, feeling relaxed. Any worries or troubles are washed away like a passing spring shower, cool and refreshing. We feel cleansed. As we lay here floating on, we are feeling comforted and happy—traveling to a place special in our hearts.
What does this place look like? Imagine the cloud is now arriving to this place. Record every detail of this place in your mind so you can return to it anytime…
The overall goal of meditating is to maintain a positive state of mind, reduce stress and pain in the body and mind, and become more conscious individuals. Meditation can help boost your immune system, improve eating habits, and motivate you to workout (when you're happy, you want to be more active!). When you have a positive outlook on life, all other aspects of your life begin to improve: you'll feel energized and more likely to be fit and healthy, you'll appreciate the Earth and what it does for us, and you'll appreciate others and their contribution to the world.
Start with finding a meditation practice that works for you and begin meditating for 3 minutes, then slowly progress to 5, 10, 15 and then 20 minutes a day. Do it before work or school, during lunch time, or right before bed. After a few meditation sessions you will begin to feel more relaxed, calm, positive and begin to be pain free.

The thumping bass beats coming from next door rattle the windows of our hotel room in Miami. Though the music isn't very loud while in the room, you can feel it in the floor.
I'm visiting Emily in South Beach, FL. She's here producing a fairly big beer commercial. It's very exciting for her and the director involved. I came down to visit and hang out, but it wasn't until a day or so before I got here that Emily told me that Ultra, a new music festival, was going on that weekend.
"Hope that's okay," she had said sweetly.
"Of course," I had said, and I didn't think about it for another moment until I landed in Miami and met Emily in the back bar of the South Seas hotel. I heard it for the first time, the dull thumping beat emulating from a few doors down. Unrelenting. Unchanging. Over and over again.
After a little while of catching up, we head out to dinner. It's a lovely night and my first glimpse of Miami. This part of the city is exactly how I imagined: scantily clad woman, tattooed muscular guys, flashy convertibles. Loud music from different bars. Emily and I stroll down the beach enjoying the sunset. When we return to the hotel, the music has stopped and the silence is golden.
The next morning, Emily has to work, so I venture down to the beach by myself. I rent a chair, order a drink and sit out reading. Thankfully, the crashing of the waves nearly drowns out the beat and my book carries me away.
"You here for the festival?" the woman sitting next to me asks.
"No, actually." I say. She looks baffled.
"Well, you picked an odd weekend to come to Miami."
I explain I'm visiting my girlfriend and she sympathizes. "Did you go to the boat party last night? It was crazy!"
"I bet," I say, and am relieved when her friends come back so I can return to my book.
I read for another hour, which turns out to be a bit too long (I am currently nursing a bit of a sunburn). Eventually I head back to the hotel to sit in the shade by the pool.
Closer to the hotel, the thumping is loud. But loud isn't really the problem. The problem is a second separate beat coming from the other side. Now the two beats compete with each other. I visualize the sound waves mixing in the middle of my brain. My brain scrambles to make sense of the two of them, to meld them together, to get them to match. It cannot and it's unsettling. I'm getting so old.
But, it's amazing how resilient the human body is and after a while I hardly notice it.
Saturday night we all go out for Cuban food. Emily asks one of the local production crew members for a recommendation and we find a place a little off the beaten path. On the phone with the restaurant Emily inquires if you can hear the thumping techno music.
"Is it loud there?"
"Yes" they say. "It is Saturday night so it is crowded."
"Yes, but can you hear any music?"
"No," they say, somewhat confused.
"Great," says Emily, giving me a thumbs up. "We are going to be six."
The restaurant turns out to be authentic and absolutely delicious. And though the folks around us are all drunk and yelling, it is a far more preferable kind of loud.
