Administration running over U.S. Constitution
If President Barack Obama does not get what he wants from Congress this year, he will take the desired action on his own, White House aides have warned. So, what else is new?
"The president sees this as a year of action to work with Congress where he can and to bypass Congress where necessary," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters a few days ago. Other advisers to the president said that means action by executive order, not legislation from Congress.
That is not a fresh approach by this president, however. During much of his five years in office, Obama has taken it upon himself to issue wide-ranging executive orders on matters that properly should have been left to Congress. He has made the Environmental Protection Agency a virtually unfettered tool to do his will, whether lawmakers agree or not.
His signature legislative achievement, the Affordable Care Act, in many ways does not resemble the law approved by Congress. Obamacare has been altered over and over again by the president, sometimes to benefit his political cronies.
Do not look for Obama to make his action-by-fiat threat openly during his State of the Union speech tonight. That would irritate many Democrats, as well as Republicans, in Congress.
Obama will use the speech to outline his priorities for the coming year, leaving it up to lawmakers to speculate about which initiatives he will deign to allow them to review.
Some of what the president will propose will be popular among liberal Democrats on Capitol Hill. That is because many of them face uphill battles for reelection – because of what Obama already has done. Now, through proposals such as increasing the minimum wage, Obama feels it necessary to help them attract votes from their historic base.
But many thoughtful Democrats will be skeptical about other plans by the White House, including ongoing attempt to increase electricity costs for tens of millions of Americans by forcing utilities to abandon coal as a generating fuel.
Whatever Obama's plans and no matter how harmful they are to the nation, he has signaled he will not allow the elected representatives of the people to stand in his way.
Thus far, with support from Democrats, Obama has been allowed to run roughshod over the Constitution. Thoughtful members of his own party should join Republican lawmakers in turning back the assault – in defeating Obama's attempt to make his an imperial presidency of historic proportions.

Celebrating 55 Years since 55 at the Dodgers Home Opener
The day was finally here! The Dodgers Home Opener! I could hardly sleep the night before of the excitment! This IS CHRISTMAS FOR ADULTS!!
My friend Erik and I have planning for this day getting our costumes together. Erik was dressed as Willard Mullin's Brooklyn Bum and I as superfan Hilda Chester.
I was hoping to have a video that my brother Vic was recording but I don't know how to put it here and it got to be too late. Wish you could see my friend's feet. He cut one of his shoes to really look like a bum and I am wearing sox with shoes like pictures I have seen of Hilda.
If you don't know who Hilda Chester was, look it up! She is even in the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Complain. A security guy at Dodger Stadium in the field level was following us around make sure that we turned our bags (they were bags where we put stuff like our radio, magazine) inside out. He did not want what we wrote about to show. What is wrong with what it says!??? "This IS Next Year" "Hilda is Here!" Security guy (I think his name is Guy) should have been more concern with fans (guys and women)that were drinking too much. I won't go into some detail of some disgusting things I saw). I know no signs are permitted at Dodger Stadium but these are bags Erik's mom made for us! I also took off the inside of my cowbells so I was not making any noise.
WE WON! We won 9=5!
Manny went yard!
Beadrless Casey Blake went yard!
Matt Kemp went Yard! His GF was at the game.
Andre Ethier went Yard!
I have more pictures but super busy at work because I took the day off yesterday! Note: I started this entry last night at home and just finished it off today. Thank you all for reading!

Customs were hillarious! LOL You both looked great. It sucks that they made you turn your "BAG" inside out. I'm surprise they don't make people wearing t-shirs with words on, turned them inside out! I see nothing wrong with what you did! No profanity what-so-ever! But glad our Dodgers won and you had a great time! GO DODGERS!
Thanks Rosie! Yeah, we have seen t-shirts that they should not be allowed and what our bags said was nothing wrong. I bet he did not know that it was related to the history of the Brooklyn Dodgers. We were so glad that the Dodgers won! and it was such a beautiful day!
I love that you dressed as Hilda – the original she-fan!!!! Sounds like it was a great day, made even better because the Dodgers won. As for the security guy, every now and then you get a grump. Glad you didn't let him spoil your time.
I thought you wold love that! She been the original she-fan!
I love that someone can learn something from my blog! We all learn with each other! Thanks!
Yup he probably did not know who the characters were. I honestly did not know but hey I learned something new. Right after I read your message I googled the charaters. LOL!
I'm uh…..a little choked up right now! You guys looked beautiful!
No really Emma! This is right up there with Peanut. Better. Brings a tear to my eye. I want to share this pic with every one I know who is still a living Brooklyn Dodgers fan. I want to share it with all 2.5 million people who call Brooklyn HOME. You're the best Hilda ever. Now get outta here ya BUM before you make me cry! Ya Bum!
mike BTB
Glad you liked this! My friend Erik and I had a lot of fun putting together the costumes. I had to research what Hilda's button said and made one like she sported. I also had an Ebbets Field pin. It was one I found at Vero Beach post office a few years back.
Love the Hilda dress up choice for opening day… glad your guys won… now the seasons really underway, everyones home opener is done we can get on with real baseball…. the Brooklyn Bum could have probably made enough to pay for his ticket had he sat outside the turnstiles long enough, he looked pretty good in his bum outfit…LOL

Awesome get-up! I'm impressed with the Hilda representation… ya don't see that everywhere… and if you want me to break Guy's legs, just let me know. Haha.
I know what you mean about the drunks…some guy 5 rows in front of me at the Home Opener vomitted everywhere…nasty! They should really worry more about these folks than what I have in my bag!
Thanks Peter,
The Brooklyn Bum has been unemployed since last year so yeah he could have done that. You should have seen his shoes all torn…well, if you look at the original picture of the Brooklyn bum, he looked just like t hat with holes in his shoes showing his toes.
LOL Jeff. Thanks pal!
Sorry you had to experience that. OMG! that person ruined it for so many people around you. There was a woman in one of the bathrooms throwing up. they closed that section and then her boyfriend went inside to get her.
Happy Jackie Robinson Day!!
Hilda Chester is the patron Saint of the Rays Cowbell movement.
If it wasn't for her action at old Brooklyn Dodger games, then the cowbell might only be found among those big hefty moo-moos out on the grassy knolls.
Loved the costume, and I hope you annoyed a few people with those cowbells….hehehehehe.
That was a great idea with the costumes. Sorry you had to silence your cowbell, but it is your First Amendment Right to Free Speech according to a local Tampa Bay attorney….Guess it is a Rays thing past down by Hilda via the Silver Streak Amtrack train.
Rays Renegade
Happy Jackie Robinson Day Mike!
I got around that by recording the cowbell noise on my cellphone. 😉
AWESOME COSTUMES!……Do you do that every year, Emma?
They should have put you both on the Big Screen….instead of that tiring old act, " The wanna be actor/Journey lip sync-er guy" , that they keep showing.
Opening day was the best!
Go Blue!
This is the first year we do this. We thought about doing it if they were still in the playoff last year.
Opening Day are always the best! I love them!
Go Dodgers!
Those are cool outfits that you and your friend donned. You really look the part of Hilda. To bad that Dbag security guard didn't understand. I'm glad you enjoyed my opening day pics. I do indeed plan to share the " THIS AND THAT " features this year, the one with Matt Kemp on Opening Day was really funny.
Thanks! Some fans did not understand our outfits but that is OK, they can learn.
One usher in the Reserved level working directing traffic from the elevator asked me to explain my outfit to him. I told him and then I said googled and tomorrow tell me something about Hilda Chester that will let me know you read about her.
Following day he sees me and he said with a Brooklyn accent "Emma! " "Eat Your Heart out ya Bums!" It was funny! I gave him a thumps up! That was a saying by Hilda.
Looking forward to your next post.
Ridiculous that the security guy equated your bags to signs – in that case, a t-shirt is more of a "sign" than a bag. It's not like you were waving them around interfering with other fans. Like you said, obviously someone not familiar with the history of the Dodgers. Nonetheless, you got to see a win on a beautiful sunny day!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
You got that right, a t-shirt is more of a sign. Is not that I am advertising for me or selling t-shirts like some other t-shirts I've seen. Yes, it was a beautiful day and a great win. Hope we beat the Jints tonight!
Gee, you'd think Dodger Stadium security would be concerned about other things! Don't they realize that Dodger fans also honor the past (before moving West, nonetheless) and are willing to show their passion?
Anyway, love the costumes, Emma! Way to show Dodger fans that their history continues to be a rich one and that the Brooklyn years weren't just a set of faded photos!
New sign: "Emma is Here!"🙂
LOL about the sign. A friend, after seeing my picture on facebook, sent me the picture of Hilda with the sign and he superimposed my face in there and updated the sign to read "Emma is Here" lol.
10/10 for authenticity and being a great Dodger fan, to "Our Bums" of LA. Love to catch a beer with you sometime, and take in some ball of base.. Keep up the great work!!😀 Best chick Dodger fan ever! Single? ;p
Thanks vapeless, I don't like beer but come and catch a game with us in the TD
You really make it appear really easy along with your presentation but
I in finding this matter to be actually something which I think I'd by no means understand. It kind of feels too complex and very broad for me. I am having a look forward for your subsequent put up, I'll try
to get the hold of it!

Oh shit guys! If they top The Maniacal Vale.... I don't even know what will happen but it's gonna be huge!
Written by Slayer666 on 16.06.2011 at 23:30
Nah, I don't think so. It's just kind of logical (maybe pessimistic, though) to assume that a single band doesn't have it in them to make two albums like Vale, let alone an album that's even better.
I'm just afraid they might experiment with god-knows-what kind of genres and make an abomination. Like polka. Polka Funeral/Death Doom sounds bad.
Written by Lucas on 17.06.2011 at 16:51
I'll quote myself here (from the 2009 recap article):
"If the new Esoteric tops their The Maniacal Vale, I will probably get arrested for running around on the streets, naked, yelling and screaming like Attila Csihar. I promise you all, I will."
I keep my promises.

And when he was elected mayor by an overwhelming margin in November, Bob Scott started taking steps to keep those pledges.
But he has already encountered some stumbling blocks. At a town board meeting earlier this month, his second in his new role, two ideas he supported came under scrutiny.
One of them — forming a town committee to work with an elementary school inside town limits — was rejected outright by board members amid questions about potential legal issues. The other — a campaign pledge to schedule monthly "town hall" meetings where the public could talk about issues on their mind — was met with skepticism by board members.
The idea of regular forums for residents, merchants and town leaders to engage in open, informal dialog was a hallmark of Scott's campaign. He believes his message of inclusiveness resonated with voters.
But he has now had to postpone the first forum, which had been scheduled for this month, until further discussion.
Scott admitted he was off to a "rocky start," but he credits his election win to his promise to push for change.
"I think we're just getting started," longtime Alderman Billy Mashburn said.
But while Scott might have captured voters with his agenda, "that doesn't mean that it's written in stone because he's the mayor," said Alderwoman Joyce Handley, who has held her seat for the past six years and has known Scott for more than 30 years.
"Good ideas," she said, "sometimes fall flat on their face."
Scott admits that being mayor doesn't give him any more sway than any other member on the board to advance a particular agenda. But Scott said he hopes the outcome of the latest meeting does not presage future discord in town hall.
Scott expects to reschedule his first "town hall" forum for later this month. It is a priority to a man whose views of governments big and small were shaped by the years he worked as a newspaper reporter in the 1960s.
"I believe in openness. What kind of mayor would I be if I don't listen to the people I'm serving?" Scott said. "It's a two-way street. I want to hear from everybody."
The other board members said they merely wanted to make sure the forums were organized in a way they wouldn't violate the state's Open Meetings Law.
"We just want to tread cautiously on it," said Warren Cabe, the town manager.
A dose of reality
Two new aldermen were elected to the town board in November, along with Scott being elected mayor.
One of those newly elected alderwomen, Barbara McRae, floated the idea of forming a school committee. Scott had planned to appoint McRae as the town's liaison to East Franklin Elementary.
The motion was rejected 4 to 2 — McRae and the other new alderwoman, Patti Abel, voted in favor. The other board members raised concerns about the town running afoul of laws regulating the extent to which it could involve itself in county-run schools, particularly financially.
"The town has nothing to do with the school system," said Mashburn, who made the motion to vote against forming the committee.
Beyond that, the idea came as a surprise, said Handley, who said she was unaware of the proposal before it appeared on the meeting agenda.
"Nobody on the board heard about it," she said.
Abel said perhaps the proposal's foundering resulted from miscommunication and it could be rekindled.
Scott's ideas resonate with Abel, who at age 41 is the youngest member of the board.
At the same time, Abel acknowledged the more experienced board members may understand realities the newer ones don't.
Mandate for change
During his campaign, Scott projected a sense of independence. He cited his record of dissenting votes in the latter part of his 10-year tenure as alderman, emphasizing his willingness to take unpopular stances on behalf of the public.
It was perhaps the main distinction between him and his opponent, Sissy Pattillo, whose main message centered on reaching solidarity among board members as a way to make the town government more efficient.
He captured nearly three-fourths of the total number of ballots cast in the mayoral race, nearly 700, according to official election results. It was a level of support underscored by a stream of unsolicited campaign contributions.
He ended up spending $5,225, about one-fourth of which came from his own pocket. He never organized any fundraisers, he said, though he hosted a couple of gatherings he called "friend-raisers" involving food and music as a way to reach out to voters.
"I had people come out of the woodwork," Scott said, adding that a small group of young people volunteered to use social media to help spread his message.
Scott sees the election's outcome as a clear mandate from voters to carry out his vision of change.
"Franklin needs new ideas," he said, "and those new ideas will come from the public."
At the same time, he will make it a point to encourage discussion among board members.
"I want a democratic board," he said.

The opportunities that collaborative data provides to the global library community are important and are in line with OCLC's core strategy of "collaboratively building Webscale with libraries." Acting as a hub for library data on the Web is one of the ways OCLC can help libraries increase their presence and discoverability in today's complex information environment.
Library data advocates, researchers, programmers and enthusiasts have a variety of places to meet and share ideas on the Web. We welcome your ideas and participation on the subject in any of these community spaces:
The OCLC Developer Network is a community of developers collaborating in a "sandbox" environment in order to propose, discuss and test OCLC Web Services. This open source, code-sharing infrastructure improves the value of OCLC data for all users by encouraging new OCLC Web Service uses. Join the network to: help shape the future of OCLC Web Services; engage in discussion and focus groups relative to current and proposed services; share software code with other network members and the community-at-large in an open source environment; and, provide feedback points for the library community to engage with. You can also search the list archive for help with questions, and read the "Linked Data at OCLC" page, which has notes for both demo code and known issues.
The Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative was launched by the Library of Congress (LOC) to review libraries' bibliographic framework and better accommodate future needs. This work will be carried out in consultation with the format's formal partners -- Library and Archives Canada, the British Library, the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek and other national libraries, the agencies that provide library services and products, the many MARC user institutions, and the MARC advisory committees. You can read more about the initiative at its main website; join in the a community discussion on the associated listserv, or read the LOC's November 2012 report on linked data and networked library services.
The W3C Linked Data Platform (LDP) provides a charter and background information for people and groups wishing to apply read/write linked data. Your organization can participate in the Linked Data Platform Working Group as a WC3 member (or join) in order to take part in the discussions of the group.
Schema.org provides a collection of schemas, i.e., html tags, that webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search providers. Search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex rely on this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for people to find the right web pages. OCLC has worked with member libraries and data partners to develop library extensions for Schema.org, allowing for easier connections to be made between data entities in a variety of industries and situations. A recent Information Standards Quarterly article describes the project, as well as some background and history on OCLC's linked data efforts.
Schema Bib Extend W3C Community Group is a group with a mission to discuss and prepare proposal(s) for extending Schema.org schemas for the improved representation of bibliographic information markup and sharing. OCLC played an active role in the creation and activities of this group who's proposals have greatly informed our linked data vocabulary activities.
If you have any questions or ideas about cooperative library data… we want to hear from you! Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information, or to get the conversation started.

The recent marking of the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination offered many interesting intersections and juxtapositions of past and present, perhaps none odder than Sen. Ted Cruz's op-ed piece in National Review Online.
By careful editing of John F. Kennedy's life and career, the Texas Republican managed to make the Massachusetts Democrat look like a guest star at a Tea Party rally.
Kennedy embraced our system of government as a way of achieving our highest expectations, at a time in our history when some of the country's greatest accomplishments came about through fast and furious political log-rolling across the congressional aisles.
That doesn't happen today, and one of the biggest reasons is Cruz, who delights in obstructing and tearing down the approach that Kennedy, LBJ, Southeast Texas' own Jack Brooks and others revered, built and made work to the benefit of all.
JFK was all about engagement. Ted Cruz is all about alienation. The two have less in common than maple syrup and quantum physics.

If we're lucky, then in just a few days time we could witness one of the most spectacular sights in the night sky for a generation or more.
Astronomers hope that on 3 December a comet will appear on the eastern horizon - Comet Ison.
For the whole month of December, millions of people across the northern hemisphere should be able to see its tail, which is several millions of kilometres long, stretching across the dawn sky.
Ison has come from the Oort cloud, a belt of comets on the very edge of the Solar System, where it has been for the last 4.6 billion years.
What makes Ison so special is that it is a "sungrazer". Many comets pass through the Solar System every decade, but very few go through the corona of the Sun. Ison will do just that.
Its passage through the corona, which happens on 28 November, will be watched with great interest by astronomers across the world.
It's not known exactly what effect the great heat and gravitational force of our Sun will have on the comet.
Dr Matthew Knight, from the Lowell Observatory in Arizona, has been watching the comet for the last year and has worked out three scenarios to describe what Ison might do in the coming week.
Scenario one: It could suffer the same fate as Comet Lovejoy, which went around the Sun in autumn 2011.
The gravity of the sun pulled one side of the comet's nucleus more strongly than the other, stretching it apart.
As Lovejoy emerged from the corona it exploded. Whether this will happen to Ison depends on its size. A nucleus of two kilometres or under puts it at great risk. Astronomers estimate that Ison is almost exactly two kilometres, so it's right on the borderline.
In scenario two, Ison might behave like Comet Encke. This comet has orbited the Sun about 70 times since it was first observed a few centuries ago.
It is fast using up its ice and gasses and is fizzling out. Although Ison is only going to pass the Sun once, Dr Knight fears it could suffer the same fate.
Then there is the third scenario, the one many people will be hoping for. This is what happened to Comet Ikeya-Seki in 1965.
As the comet went through the sun's corona, the heat ignited the gases deep in its nucleus and a few days after it emerged from the corona, a huge tail had developed behind it. Millions of people were thrilled by the great spectacle.
If Ison puts on a stunning display as Ikeya Seki did, then it will also help scientists answer some of the great questions about our origins. Since 1965, telescopes and imaging technology have advanced enormously.
Spectrometry will allow astrochemists to analyse the chemical composition of the ices in Ison and from that data try to work out how the Solar System formed 4.6 billion years ago.
They might even be able to study its water signature, to provide crucial data informing the argument about whether our water came to Earth on comets, or accretion from below our planet's surface.
There is even a chance that scientists will observe the chemical precursors of amino acids. These amino acids are the molecules that form the building blocks of life.
Experiments in the laboratories at Nasa Ames, in northern California, have shown that these building blocks of life can be created in the hostile environment of a comet's nucleus. Could comets be the agents that transport these building blocks across the cosmos?
Everybody can now follow the comet's progress on the internet. Here's hoping that Ison will be talked about for years to come - as the comet of the century.

Texas Republicans overwhelmingly favor Sen. Ted Cruz as Presidential candidate in the 2016 election, while at the same time 50 percent of Texans say he has been bad for the state's reputation.
The left-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP) revealed on Thursday the conflicting view Texans have on the freshman Senator. Cruz is currently the first choice for presidential candidate in 2016 election among most Texas Republicans, leading with an overwhelming 32 percent.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush follows Cruz with only 13 percent, Chris Christie the newly re-elected governor of New Jersey ranks third with 10 percent, Kentucky Congressman Rand Paul with 6 percent, and Texas Governor Rick Perry is at the very bottom with 3 percent.
On the other hand, 50 percent of Texans believe that Cruz has made their state reputation worse, while 37 percent said he has made it better. Among independents, Cruz has fared slightly worse with 58 percent saying he has been bad, and 36 percent saying he has been good for Texas image. Unsurprisingly, the numbers are far worse for Cruz when it comes to Texan Democrats, where 75 percent thinks he has brought embarrassment to the state.
Tom Jensen, Director of Public Policy Polling, said the numbers show a disconnect between how Republicans feel about Cruz, compared to everyone else.
"Although Texas Republicans certainly love Cruz and that's why he leads the GOP field, both independents and Democrats strongly feel that he has brought the state embarrassment," Jensen said, adding that these numbers represent what PPP has been seeing across the country in their polling.
"Cruz is a beloved figure among Republicans but reviled by pretty much everyone else," Jensen said.
Similar results can be found in the YouGov/Huffington Post survey that was released October 18th. According to this survey, 18 percent of Americans answered that they had "very favorable" views towards Cruz, only 3 percent of those people had Democratic party affiliations, while 40 percent were Republicans. At the same time, there were 34 percent who had very unfavorable feelings on Cruz, 53 percent were Democrats, and 9 percent Republicans.
The statistics showed that American men were generally more favorable towards Cruz, compared to women. Older people were also more likely to respond positively to Cruz than younger people.

Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) rejected the suggestion that members of his own party are unhappy with him for pursuing a fight over Obamacare into a government shutdown.
Asked by host Candy Crowley whether his actions have "hurt the Republican Party brand," Ted Cruz said no.
"Not remotely, but I also think far too many people are worried about politics" in the shutdown fight, Cruz said.
Cruz repeated several times his claim that he didn't want the government to shut down, and he bemoaned the "nasty partisan jabs from Democrats" over his role in the shutdown.

- World needs more cotton, Beltwide audience is told
- Legislative, regulatory issues
The surge in global demand and the fact that "the world needs more cotton," particularly in rapidly-developing economies like China and India, bodes well for the natural fiber in the period ahead, Eddie Smith, Floydada, Texas, producer said to open the 2011 Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Atlanta.
More About:
On the heels of an "encouraging upturn" in cotton's global demand, the U.S. cotton industry has "excellent prospects for achieving profitable cotton production and processing" in the period ahead, the chairman of the National Cotton Council said in kicking off this year's Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Atlanta.
The surge in global demand and the fact that "the world needs more cotton," particularly in rapidly-developing economies like China and India, bodes well for the natural fiber, Eddie Smith, Floydada, Texas, producer said, noting that the council's export promotion arm, Cotton Council International, "is well-positioned and committed to capitalize on this opportunity."
CCI's message about the U.S. cotton industry's continued commitment to quality and timely delivery "was reinforced in numerous meetings with representatives of our largest customer during last September's leadership exchange trip to China, led by Council Vice Chairman Charles Parker," Smith said.
The Beltwide conferences, which draw several thousand producers, agribusiness representatives, university/Extension/research personnel, and government leaders, is the largest annual event for the U.S. cotton industry.
"These conferences are unsurpassed in terms of their diversity of audience and the number of research disciplines represented," Smith said, "and our partnership with all these sectors has a tremendously successful track record."
The steering committee for this year's event, chaired by Perthshire, Miss., producer/ginner Kenneth Hood, established goals for maximizing attendance, facilitating involvement by participants, and enhancing technology transfer. Among changes was a revamping of the conferences' schedule in order to include more workshops and seminars.
These include a workshop on sustainability, natural resource conservation, and farm profitability is the topic of one workshop, spotlighting the cooperative efforts by the council, Cotton Incorporated, USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Keystone Center and other organizations to document U.S. agriculture's strong record of adopting responsible production and conservation practices. The workshop featured a hands-on demonstration of the Field-to-Market grower tool.
Another workshop, to be held Thursday morning, will be devoted to "one of production agriculture's biggest concerns, weed resistance management," Smith said. The topic is considered so important, he noted, that an entire morning will be devoted to it and no other sessions will be held during that time period in order to allow maximum attendance.
A third workshop was planned on what's in the pipeline for new cotton traits and products that are under development.
For the fourth year, the Beltwide has also included a Cotton Consultants Conference, focusing on new technologies and regional crop assessments.
In summing up the National Cotton Council's activities in 2010, Smith expressed appreciation that "our industry's collective resources were effectively applied to successfully address a wide array of priority issues this past year."

The problems are caused by the system having no Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoder that is compatible with Windows Media Player. Microsoft only provides an AC-3 decoder for Media player in some editions of Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Before August 2008, third party software such as WinDVD could take over the Windows Media Player AC-3 function and provide sound. Dolby Labs changed the licensing method for AC-3 decoders to prevent this behavior in newer systems. Silence occurs when no AC-3 decoder can be found at all.
The static noise is caused by Windows Media Player trying to play the compressed AC-3 audio through an incorrect third party decoder.

Small Scores Four; 'Nova Wins Sixth Straight
from press release
VILLANOVA, Pa. -- The 15th-ranked Villanova men's lacrosse team (7-1, 0-0) secured a 10-6 victory over Manhattan (1-8, 0-0) on Saturday afternoon, earning their sixth straight win of the season. Junior C.J. Small (San Diego, Calif.) tied a career-high performance with four goals while classmate Kevin Cunningham (Garden City, N.Y.) tallied five points for the day.
Villanova dominated the Jaspers, outshooting Manhattan 32-20 and
winning 14 of 20 face offs. Freshman Thomas Croonquist (North
Caldwell, N.J.) led the team with six ground balls and had a
near-perfect day from the X, winning 11 of 12 attempts, good for a
win percentage of 92%.
The Wildcats got off to a quick 3-0 lead bridging the first and second quarters. Sophomore Nick Doherty (Bernardsville, N.J.) gave Villanova the first score of the day just over a minute into the start of the game, while Small followed just 40 seconds later to put the `Cats up, 2-0 at the end of the first. Small would go on to open the second quarter with a score off a Michael Vigilante (Massapequa, N.Y.) feed for the 3-0 lead.
Manhattan continued to fight despite being down 3-0, climbing back from their deficit to go on a three goal run with scores from Brian McGrath, Justin Jensen and Mike Llewellyn. Villanova's Jack Rice (Baltimore, Md.) responded with a quick 1-2 feed at the top of the crease from Cunningham, while Small bookended the quarter with an unassisted tally to round out the half, 5-3 in favor of VU.
Coming out of halftime, Cunningham would net two scores less than a minute apart to increase the Villanova lead to 7-3, while Manhattan would go on a three-goal unanswered run with scores from Brett Miranda and and Brian McGrath, cutting the lead to 7-6 with 5:32 remaining in the third stanza.
The Wildcats would solidify the victory with three unanswered scores from Max Hart (Bethesda, Md.) Small and Rice to finish the contest, giving Villanova the 10-6 win.
Defensively, sophomore keeper Billy Hurley (Morristown, N.J.) captured three saves in the victory while MC's Matt Solomito made 11 in the loss. Senior Brian Karalunas (Dewitt, N.Y.) tallied five ground balls and three caused turnovers while sophomore close defenseman Chris Creighton (West Chester, Pa.) captured four ground balls and one takeaway.
Villanova will host their first BIG EAST contest of the season on Saturday, March 26th when they host No. 1 Syracuse in Villanova Stadium. Game time is scheduled for 7 pm.

Came home 7/16-7lbs 2oz
1st Ped appt 7/29-7lb 8oz
Weight Check (per ped) 8/5- 8lb 3oz (nursing and supplementing with formula)
2 month appt- 9/8- 9lb 11oz (nursing, EBM and occasional formula)
The doctor was happy with where we left off so I stopped the formula all together. Just have been nursing and occasional EBM (if I'm out or just want a break). But my mom keeps telling me how small DD is, so I went and bought a scale. Weighed her this morning and she is 10lb 14oz. When I go to the growth chart and do the calculator it puts her at the 3rd percentile. Her output seems fine and she's happy. Should I be worried? I've been stressing about it all day!

Some states confirm water pollution from drillingap file photo
Marchers concerned with water pollution protest against hydraulic fracturing and gas well drilling as they cross the Rachel Carson Bridge on their way through town to the Developing Unconventional Gas (DUG) East convention and exhibition being held in Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania officials say there have been 370 complaints so far in 2013 alleging that oil or natural gas drilling polluted or diminished the flow of water to private water wells.
PITTSBURGH In at least four states that have nurtured the nations energy boom, hundreds of complaints have been made about well-water contamination from oil or gas drilling, and pollution was confirmed in a number of them, according to a review that casts doubt on industry suggestions that such problems rarely happen.
The Associated Press requested data on drilling-related complaints in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Texas and found major differences in how the states report such problems. Texas provided the most detail, while the other states provided only general outlines. And while the confirmed problems represent only a tiny portion of the thousands of oil and gas wells drilled each year in the U.S., the lack of detail in some state reports could help fuel public confusion and mistrust.
The AP found that Pennsylvania received 398 complaints in 2013 alleging that oil or natural gas drilling polluted or otherwise affected private water wells, compared with 499 in 2012. The Pennsylvania complaints can include allegations of short-term diminished water flow, as well as pollution from stray gas or other substances. More than 100 cases of pollution were confirmed over the past five years.
Just hearing the total number of complaints shocked Heather McMicken, an eastern Pennsylvania homeowner who complained about water-well contamination that state officials eventually confirmed.
Wow, Im very surprised, said McMicken, recalling that she and her husband never knew how many other people made similar complaints, since the main source of information was just through the grapevine.
The McMickens were one of three families that eventually reached a $1.6 million settlement with a drilling company. Heather McMicken said the state should be forthcoming with details.
Over the past 10 years, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, has led to a boom in oil and natural gas production around the nation. It has reduced imports and led to hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue for companies and landowners, but also created pollution fears.
Extracting fuel from shale formations requires pumping hundreds of thousands of gallons of water, sand and chemicals into the ground to break apart rock and free the gas. Some of that water, along with large quantities of existing underground water, returns to the surface, and it can contain high levels of salt, drilling chemicals, heavy metals and naturally occurring low-level radiation.
But some conventional oil and gas wells are still drilled, so the complaints about water contamination can come from them, too. Experts say the most common type of pollution involves methane, not chemicals from the drilling process.
Some people who rely on well water near drilling operations have complained about pollution, but theres been considerable confusion over how widespread such problems are. For example, starting in 2011, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection aggressively fought efforts by the AP and other news organizations to obtain information about complaints related to drilling. The department has argued in court filings that it does not count how many contamination determination letters it issues or track where they are kept in its files.
Steve Forde, a spokesman for the Marcellus Shale Coalition, the leading industry group in Pennsylvania, said in a statement that transparency and making data available to the public is critical to getting this historic opportunity right and maintaining the publics trust.
When the state Environmental Department determines natural gas development has caused problems, Forde said, our member companies work collaboratively with the homeowner and regulators to find a speedy resolution.MORE IN Wire NewsNEW YORK The Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poors 500 indexes soared to their...

The annual Maine Lobster Festival kicks off on Wednesday. Check out 15 things you may not know about the annual event that celebrate's the state's most famous seafood, according to the festival's website.
This is the 68th year for the Maine Lobster Festival
The first festival in 1947, held in Camden, offered all-you-can-eat lobster for $1. The festival lost money and organizers in Camden decided not to bring it back for a second year. That's when the Rockland Junior Chamber of Commerce decided to bring the festival to Rockland.
The 1948 festival featured a parade, hot lobster and was expanded from one day to two and held in July.
Since 1948, the festival has been held the first weekend in August.
In 1949, the festival expanded to three days, Following the festival the Junior Chamber of Commerce of Rockland decided the festival was too big to be operated alone so it voted to form a corporation where other local organizations joined the event.
Carnival rides, games and side-shows became part of the festival in the late 1970s through the mid-'80s.
In the early 1990s it was announced the festival would not be held after a couple of years poor weather and rising costs. However, a new wave of community support and leadership saved the festival.
A new lobster cooker was built in 2008 with engraved bricks purchased by supporters of the Festival.
The festival helps bring in nearly $1 million of "outside" money into the regional economy.
1,000 volunteers help make the festival happen.
The festival requires approximately $150,000 in reserve to start up each year.
The festival parade draws the largest crowds of the weekend.
More than 20,000 lobsters weighing 25,000 pounds will be served.
The festival has been featured in several magazines, newspapers and television networks, including the Food Network.
This year's festival runs from July 29-Aug. 2

Thank you Starks. Happy to be the first to reply.
The first thing we must realize is that this situation will be better in time. This is Houston's finally check this year. That in it's self is great news. There are several options for the Knicks. The first was brought to my attention by 15 so I can't take credit for it. Eddie Jones has an expiring contract. We could try to trade Francis for Jones and a draft pick. The Grizzlies need a PG and that may be where Francis can fit in. Many of us have been speculating as to where Garnett will land after this season. An option I've stated before is to trade Frye\Francis\Rose for Garnett, but that won't be the best financial option due to Garnett making 20 M a year.
I've always felt that Marbury is more of a shooting guard but the problem is he is the best point guard on the team. Although our guard roster is flooded we should trade out some guards for a starting PG like Luke Ridnour. Ridnour barely fits in to the line up as Seattle is looking to make changes.
So here are my suggestions:
Francis for Eddie Jones (15's suggestion)
Francis/Frye/Rose for Garnett
Nate Robinson for Luke Ridnour
We could pull off two of the three choices I've presented. I'd like to see a line up of

Richard, if you like reminiscing about DCM Time Windows, check out my thread.
The Not-So-Good:
- I didn't like the color accuracy tests as well as the Avia disc. One is simply a series of images where you calibrate by eye (so useless for accuracy). The other is color bars you use a blue filter for to calibrate color and tint. This works well, but my two nitpicks are:
1.) The blue filter is actually a bit too small - it's difficult to use both eyes at once with it, which is silly as they show a "strip" blue filter like my Avia disc on the on-screen demo, which would have been cheaper to make (this one's kind of fancy with a cardboard section) and probably would have worked a bit better. I was able to use both eyes after getting closer to the screen and figuring the best way to hold it.
2.) The test pattern doesn't move/flash at all, so once you get close on tint or color, it's *very* difficult to tell minute differences. You're going to get very close, but it's almost impossible for me to discern perfect. The Avia disc has a very similar pattern, but with flashing boxes, and somehow the flashing...and getting it to look even...makes it much easier to arrive at "perfect" settings. Given the WOW disc contrast/brightness pattern has similar moving patterns, I'm not sure why they didn't do this for the color one.

Columbus Planning Department's role in the 2010 Census process since fall 2007 up now is as follows:
In 2008, the Columbus Planning Department took the responsibility for the area within the Columbus-Phenix City Transportation Study as the agency responsible for Local Update of Census Addresses (LUCA), which is an integral part of the 2010 Decennial Census Program.
LUCA consisted of an extensive review of existing database the Census Bureau had concerning the list of housing units, streets and group quarter addresses. This database was important for the Census Bureau as it would be what they used to conduct their Census questionnaire mailings and subsequent door to door interviews during the actual process two years later.
Guidance from the Census Bureau urged us to focus on areas such as:
The Planning Department participated in Option 1 of LUCA, the Title 13 Full Address Review. This process was limited to 120 days upon receipt of the materials from the Census Bureau. It required members of the Planning Department to read review and acknowledge the information contained within the LUCA packages were protected for confidentiality under Title 13 of the United States Code.
Outreach was made to neighboring jurisdictions, such as Phenix City, Opelika and Auburn in Alabama, to give their personnel the opportunity to participate in the LUCA review process.
The entry of data for the LUCA review process was carried out through specially designed MAF/TIGER Partnership Software developed by ESRI in conjunction with the Census Bureau. The work occurred between the Fall of 2007 through to being submitted to the Census in January, 2008.
The Planning Department was asked by GDOT and the FHWA to take the role of defining the Traffic Analysis Zones for Muscogee and Chattahoochee Counties. This was done as part of the Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP), which is a set of special tabulations designed for transportation planners. The data are tabulated from answers to the American Community Survey, which is mailed to a selected random cross-section of the populace between 2006-2008.
Because of the large sample size, the data is deemed reliable and accurate. CTPP provides a demographic snapshot of patterns such as the percentage of citizens using transit, the average length of commute, whether they carpool, how far they reside from their place of employment or school.
Transportation planners use CTPP data to:
In the Fall of 2009, the Planning Department also had the opportunity to review whether their submissions under the LUCA program in early 2008 had been in fact adopted by the Census Bureau.
During our review of the material provided to the department, we found that nearly every change suggested during the LUCA process had been in fact adopted. The Census Bureau had verified our requested changes by utilizing field personnel who visited each of the addresses cited. This was the final step prior to the actual mailing of Census forms the following Spring.
The US Postal Service delivered Census forms through postal mail to all addresses identified and verified as being correct within the region. Citizens were requested to complete the 10 question form and return it in the postal mail (postage free) for tabulation.
Muscogee County had a Census form return rate of 72 percent, slightly below the 74 percent average for all counties nationwide. Chattahoochee County had a Census form return rate of 58 percent, Lee County had a return rate of 72 percent, Russell County had a Census form return rate of 68 percent.
Non-responding addresses were mailed second Census form, followed by a visit by a door-to-door Census taker.
The Census Bureau released its national population figures for the 2010 Census.
The Census Bureau will be releasing state population figures, which will include city population information. These are being released at the rate of five states per week.

Ok, DS I believe is fighting with gas all night long. He doesn't cry but he does grunt and it is very hard to sleep since he's in a crib next to the bed and no further than a foot away from my head.
And I'm guessing it's gas. When I feed him he's normally fine and happy to sleep, but once I put him down, within 10 minutes grunt festival starts. And it's loud.
So currently my diet is dairy, soy, nut, shellfish free. I've also cut back a lot on veggies to try to help him out. Not the healthiest, but it's temporary right? I burp him religiously and often give him belly massages during the day.
We only have this problem at night, he doesn't really do it during the day. Also, he does have any kind of cranky colicy period, but he does want to be on the breast pretty continuously in the evening and I never deny him.
Any thoughts on suggestions on how to help him out?

April 26, 2012 —
UPPER DELAWARE REGION — Anyone who has ever thought that pure maple syrup is too expensive need only visit a local sugar bush to gain a good perspective on what it takes to make the delicious product that sweetens our lives in so many ways.
For starters, producing one gallon of the syrupy stuff requires harvesting 40 gallons of tree sap using a variety of practices involving taps, buckets, tubing and more. Next is the fairly grueling process of boiling that sap down to concentrate the sugars over an intense period of time.
Collecting sap involves drilling small holes into trees, inserting spouts or spiles and harvesting the sap, which is about 98% water and two percent sugar. The sap is then boiled until it reaches a final concentration of 33% water and 67% sugar. The syrup is also processed into candy, cream, jelly and crystallized maple sugar.
This year, local producers faced unusually warm temperatures early in the season. Some tapped, while others waited for more typical weather patterns. One result was an abbreviated season.
According to Peggy Simons, president of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Maple Producers Association, PA producers had all finished boiling by March 14 this year. Last year's end date was April 5. Those who began tapping in January and boiling in February saw the best results.
"The earlier you started, the better it was," said Simons. "If you didn't hit February, you were down to a two-week season instead of the normal four to five weeks."
The typical maple season lasts from mid-February to early April. Sap begins to flow only under certain conditions featuring cold nights with temperatures below freezing and days with temperatures above freezing.
The hot spell also affected sugarhouses during boiling time, when some facilities reached punishing temperatures in the 90s. It's a process that can't wait, requiring producers to swing into full-steam production once underway.
As a result, most producers on the Self Guided Maple Tour in the Wayne County area had already completed the evaporation process before the tour occurred in the third week of March. On the upside, visitors had more opportunity to interact with producers who would normally have been more occupied with the process.
The tour was coordinated by the Wayne Conservation District (WCD) in partnership with the Wayne County Cooperative Extension and Northeastern Pennsylvania Maple Producers Association, and is slated again for the third weekend in March 2013. For more information contact Simons at 570/224-4607 or Paul Reining of WCD at 570/253-0930.
Learn more about maple marketing
The Cornell Maple Program is offering a series of maple webinars beginning May 3 and continuing on the first Thursday evening of the month, May through December, except for the month of August. Sessions are scheduled from 7 to 8 p.m. and will focus on various aspects of marketing maple syrup and other value added products. The first session will present an overview of how maple products are being marketed. The June 7 session will lay out the process of developing a maple marketing plan with materials available for each participant to work through the process. Other topics will include potential marketing techniques from successful signage to using social media. Successive webinars will build on the plan so producers can complete theirs by the last session of the year. Webinar connection details are available at maple.dnr.cornell.edu/webinar.html. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. Following the live webinar, the recorded session will be available online. Email Stephen Childs at firstname.lastname@example.com [1].

Symbios gets $150K federal grant
- published_in
- Today's News
Symbios was one of six businesses statewide to receive a federal Small Business Innovation Research grant, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet said Wednesday. The program authorizes $11 million in innovation grants for nearly 70 small businesses nationwide.
Businesses like Symbios will be eligible to compete for awards of as much as $1 million during the second phase of the program.
"These grants speak to the cutting-edge, innovative work being done here in Colorado." Bennet said in a statement. "Our state has been on the leading edge of clean-energy sector job creation, entrepreneurship and innovation, areas that SBIR resources are targeted to support."
The grant awarded to Symbios will help the nation meet federal mandates and goals for alternative fuels production, according to Bennet's office.

Fashion Fail: Miley Cyrus Reveals Her Midriff, Wears Mom Jean Shorts In L.A.
Sometimes celebrities get it wrong - really wrong - when it comes to their fashion choices. We spotted Miley Cyrus visiting a friend in Los Angeles on Monday wearing a midriff baring floral blouse, high-waisted jean shorts, and combat boots. She spiked her short, blonde hair and wore gold hooped earrings to complete her look.
The actress appears to be experimenting with a more punk-like look these days. Last week she wore a leather jacket full of chains and another midriff baring shirt.
She also filmed a cameo appearance with rapper Lil' Kim in Tiffany Foxx's upcoming music video and showed up to the shoot in tight black and white striped pants.
And in a very provocative move, Cyrus appears bra-less in a plunging neckline jacket on the cover of the March issue of Cosmopolitan.
She's 20, so Miley has the right to do whatever she pleases with her style. But we really hope this is just a phase.

A Couple Resolutions1 of 11
By Annabelle Gurwitch and Jeff Kahn, real-life married couple and coauthors of You Say Tomato, I Say Shut Up ... A Love Story
Another year has come and gone … along with all of our last year's New Year's resolutions. So let's wipe the slate clean and try, try again.
Do the Opposite2 of 11
He says: My first reaction to most things is anger, my second is frustration, and my third is bitterness. This year I want to do the exact opposite, like how George Costanza did on an unforgettable episode of Seinfeld. Instead of anger, I'm going to be calm; instead of frustration, happiness; in place of bitterness, I will have acceptance. How am I going to be able to achieve this? I do not yet know.
Improve My Marriage3 of 11
She says: I'm going to vow to go the extra mile this year, even if that means doing more listening — something I've always felt steals valuable time from talking. I'll try to make sure that we have our date night, have more sex, laugh and find time to massage each other's feet, and I'll drive the carpool more often. OK, is it next year yet? I'm already exhausted!
Make More Time4 of 11
He says: Every year I have less and less time left to do all the things I want to do before I run out of time, so why is it that I insist on checking my Facebook page every five minutes? By cutting back on the stupid amounts of time I spend on Facebook, I'll have more time to, say, write ten new novels or perhaps even develop my strategy for peace in the Middle East.
Eat Less, Drink Less5 of 11
He says: I am well aware that this is a standard resolution, but as we get older, our bodies crave more and more food in order to help maintain our aging, decaying, sedentary lifestyle. Thus, if I am to shrink my expanding late-forties face down to its svelte, early-thirties dimensions, I've got to basically cut way back on wine and eat only when I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Allow Dietary Cheating6 of 11
She says: Everything I eat this year will fall into the three most important food groups: fried, battered and chocolate-coated. OK, maybe not fried and battered, but if I can't eat chocolate once in a while I'm just not happy, so what's the point? Chocolate will be in my 2011 diet plan, so while I might not get thinner, at least I won't feel guilty for cheating.
Be a Good Husband7 of 11
He says: I've learned after nearly 15 years of marriage that you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what she needs. That's being a better husband. To my wife, a good husband doesn't criticize or nitpick, honk the horn at dumb drivers or swim in the seas of self-pity when he doesn't get what he wants. (Things I do all the time.)
De-Mess My Office8 of 11
He says: My office looks like the basement storage facility of the National Museum of Clutter. I'm not just a pack rat; I'm also disorganized, distracted and lazy. I have to do something to reorganize and clear and clean my office before I go in one day and literally disappear under all of my detritus.
WATCH NOW: Make Time For Family
Meditate9 of 11
She says: I just took a meditation class, and it was great. Until I tried it on my own the next day. Here is what went through my head: "I'm great at this…. I need to schedule that dentist appointment this week…. I love the smell of lavender…. I wonder what Natalie Portman is going to look like pregnant?" I vow to practice at least until I stop thinking about celebrities while trying to relax.
Make a Gratitude List10 of 11
She says: A lot of people have recommended this, and I am going to try it this year. Topping my list right now is my gratitude that it's a new year with a new chance to be more grateful.
For more from Annabelle and Jeff, go to their website
Spend Quality Time11 of 11
She says: At 12, our son doesn't really want to spend time with me unless I'm buying him sneakers or driving him to hang out with his friends. However, if I pick him up from school (relieving my husband of part of the day's carpool), then drive the kid to the yogurt place, I can get a chocolate frozen yogurt, sit in my car and mediate while I wait to drive him home, grateful that at least I have a front-row seat to watch him have fun with his friends.

The deeply intertwined relationship between religion and family represents one of the most significant and recurring themes in European art of the 15th to 17th centuries. Whether these works were meant for display at home or in a church, they were intended to encourage viewers to follow the domestic example set by biblical families. Explore this theme, starting with Desiderio da Settignano's Beauregard Madonna, an example of art that was meant to inspire young brides to start a family; and Murillo, Zurbarán and Giordano's birth paintings, reassuring images of childbirth at a time when such an act often involved great risk.
