U.S. Navy officials in Hawaii say drone testing at the Pacific Missile Range Facility is not a certainty even though the base is exploring the possibility with the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
The Garden Island reported Wednesday that base spokesman Stefan Alford says there's no final commitment in place.
Alford says the base is being considered as a possible test site because of its infrastructure, lots of air space with safeguards and no privacy concerns with flights over water.
The university was selected by the Federal Aviation Administration to manage one of six test site operations across the country. The operators will research the requirements necessary to safety integrate drones, or unmanned aircraft systems, into U.S. airspace.
The plan includes proposed test sites in Alaska, Hawaii and Oregon.

This award was presented during a meeting of the Commissioners Court on July 22 and recognized the County Historical Commission (CHC) for managing preservation programs that educate citizens and generate interest in the history and character of Texas. This award also acknowledges the CHC's efforts to preserve Texas' unique heritage by promoting stewardship of and tourism to Texas' unique cultural and historic sites.
"The Distinguished Service Award is our agency's way of affirming County Historical Commissions that continue to improve and expand their preservation programs," said THC Executive Director Mark Wolfe. "The Texas Historical Commission works with CHCs to save the real places and tell the real stories of Texas. Join us in honoring the Bee County Historical Commission for their dedication and hard work."
Unlike most states, Texas counties have the legislative authority to establish CHCs to initiate and conduct programs that preserve historic and cultural resources.
Texas CHCs are made up of unpaid county appointees who reported volunteer hours for the 2012 year of service that had a monetary value of more than $8.8 million.
The THC provides services to CHCs, as well as citizens across the state, to preserve Texas' heritage for the use, education, enjoyment and economic benefit of present and future generations.
CHC contributions include the preservation of countless historic buildings, artifacts, documents and other components of Texas' rich history.

Web banner image: Motomichi Nakamura, Passerby (film still), November, 2011, Animated film, 4 minutes 28 seconds, Courtesy of the artist
Motomichi Nakamura is an animator, painter, sculptor, as well as, a VJ and game and toy designer. Influenced by Outsider art, Japanese animation, Dutch graphic design, Latin American street culture and cryptozoology, Nakamura creates work using a limited color palette and minimalist design to create haunting powerful images and films that explore contemporary culture and political issues both large and small. Using only the colors of black, white and red, his deceptively "simple" yet graphically designed creatures act as avatars for the artist. Embodying both monster-like and human characteristics, Nakamura's creatures emulate the duality of human nature. The artist comments, "the borderline between good and evil, friend and enemy can be blurred, my monsters display that relationship."
Crypto-animation will feature a range of Nakamura's artistic endeavors. Included in the exhibit will be seven animated videos ranging from the music video Blame to energetic ads for the Japan Cuts film festival and selections from his epic Journeys of Puro. Two contemplative digital installations, Portrait and Passerby will be augmented by a multi-creature drawing installation, paintings, as well as a selection of his soft sculptures and vinyl toys.
Motomichi Nakamura was born and raised in Tokyo, and formally educated in the United States. A graduate of New York City's Parsons School of Design in 1996, Nakamura currently maintains his studio in Quito, Ecuador which, Nakamura points out, is roughly 9,250 ft from sea level and is known as "city in the sky". His work has been exhibited at the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, the Oscar Niemeyer Museum in Brazil, and the Moscow Contemporary Art Center Winzavod among others. He has performed at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), the Central Museum in Utrecht, and the Edinburgh International Film Festival. His animations have been presented at Sundance Film Festival, the Onedotzero International Animation Festival, and the Holland Animation Film Festival.
Motomichi Nakamura: Crypto-animation is organized by Brian Sieveking, Adjunct Curator of Folk and Outsider Art and will be on display in the Media Lab Gallery February 1 - May 31, 2014

U.S. Coast Guard ends search for a missing 15-year-old boy from White Plains, N.Y. Hawaii County to continue efforts until Saturday.
County rescue crews were back on scene Friday scouring a two-mile area off Kealakekua Bay and two miles on either side of where Madoff was last seen.
But weather conditions, specifically 5-to-8-feet-high surf, made the operation challenging for crews trying to get close to the shoreline.
"It definitely affects us, the turbulance of the water, low visibility and rip currents. That kind of thing," said Hawaii County Fire Battalion Chief Ruben Chun.
Kevin Ichimasa took snapshots of the freak wave that swept over a 15-foot-tall wall and by some accounts went 30 feet inland where the teens were resting in tide pools after a hike.
As each day passes, the chances of finding Tyler Madoff alive is slimmer.
But across the ocean on the other of the continent, the teen was definitely on the mind of his rowing coach.
"I was impressed right off the bat at his really great work ethic. He was always pleasant. He was a very, very popular kid," said Guy Monseair.
Madoff won a silver medal at the state championships for the team and on Friday his teammates gathered in White Plains, N.Y. to pray for his return.
"Our motto is the strength of the wolf, is with the pack, so that is poignant right now. They just want to be able to be with each other. There's a certain amount of frustration. They want to be part of the search party to find him," Monseair said.
"No one wants to close the book as it were. So at this stage we are having this meeting just to put our hope in the universe," said Monseair.
Madoff was just in the first week of what is billed as a three week, ultimate Hawaii adventure booked through a company called Bold Earth Teen Adventures.
The Colorado company subcontracts with local tour groups.
The teens were given the option of continuing with the trip, or returning home. The company said most are remaining in Hawaii.
Meanwhile, state land director William Aila said his department is investigating the incident.

Federal law requires that every children's product be tested by a third party, CPSC-accepted laboratory for compliance with the applicable federal children's product safety requirements.
Begin by reviewing the Initial Certification Testing FAQ below for more information about third party testing generally. We've also provided FAQs about additional kinds of third party testing that may be required. The type of third party testing that may apply to an individual product may vary based on a variety of factors related to production choices. Companies should pay close attention to these mandatory testing requirements and maintain good records to document their compliance.
All children's products must be third party tested by a CPSC-accepted lab. Based on passing results of the third party testing, the manufacturer must then issue a Children's Product Certificate.
View the Initial Certification Testing FAQ
Third party tests can be conducted separately on component parts. Manufacturers and importers can either conduct the tests themselves or rely on test reports or component part certificates from another party, such as a supplier, if they use due care and follow all CPSC regulatory requirements.
View the Component Part Testing FAQ
If you have made a material change to your children's product, you are required to either retest the product or retest the component part that was changed for compliance with those rules affected by the material change. You must then issue a new Children's Product Certificate based on the new passing test results.
View the Material Change Testing FAQ
Periodic testing means third party testing that must be conducted on the continuing production of a children's product over specified time frames. This is in addition to initial certification and material change testing.

Sheep are medium-sized herbivorous mammals that graze on grass and berries. Sheep are mainly farmed for their meat and wool but sheep are also occasionally farmed for their milk (although milking sheep is much rarer than milking goats or cows).
In England in 2001, there was an outbreak of the foot and mouth virus meaning that thousands of sheep had to be slaughtered. The English sheep population is rising steadily once again and today there are more than 35 million sheep in the English countryside.
There are nearly 1,300 different species of sheep throughout the world with around 200 of these sheep being domestic sheep. All sheep species tend to be fairly similar in appearance but differ in size and weight depending on the species of sheep. The fleece of the sheep (the sheep's hair or wool) is one of the most widely used and common materials in the world.
The sheep is most closely related to the goat and although they are very similar, sheep and goats are two separate species of animal therefore meaning that any offspring that a sheep and a goat couple produce will be infertile so sheep and goat hybrids are very rare.
Wild sheep tend to be larger than commercially farmed sheep or domestic sheep and one species of wild sheep is known to be around 4 ft tall, making the wild sheep a whole foot taller than the average sized domestic sheep. Wild sheep also have much longer horns which they use to defend themselves and wild sheep are also known to be great mountain climbers.
Due to their vegetarian diet, sheep have a complex digestive system that is made of four chambers, allowing sheep to break down cellulose from stems, leaves, and seed hulls into simpler carbohydrates. The digestive system of a sheep is similar to other animals that have a plant-based diet such as goats, deer and cows.
Sheep are a target prey for many large carnivorous animals such as dogs, wolves and wild cats. In order to try to protect themselves, sheep keep close together in a flock to make it harder for predators to kill a lone, unsuspecting sheep. In areas where sheep have no natural predators, the sheep are known to not display the flocking characteristics so strongly.
Most sheep species only breed once a year. Like other herd animals, a number of ewes (female sheep) will mate with just one ram (male sheep). Sheep tend to give birth to their lambs in the springtime so that the lambs have a long period of time to grow before the cold winter sets in. Female sheep tend to give birth to one lamb and sometimes twin. Some species of sheep are known to give birth to larger litters and other species of sheep will also breed all year round rather than just once a year.
Sheep play an important part in the agricultural economy around the world. Sheep were one of the first animals to be domesticated by humans and sheep are still vital in producing both wool to keep us warm and meat to feed us.

Welcome to Dave Garrow's web page. This was the idea and initiative of my wife (www.darleenopfer.com), and I was rather slow to appreciate the possible value and utility of putting all of my past non-book publications up on the web at one comprehensive site.
Once I finally forced myself to undertake the fairly draining work of gathering full-text copies of all my various articles and reviews, converting them to PDFs (if they weren't already), and attaching all the appropriate links, however, I came to realize—perhaps more tardily than most people—that web-posting was a better endeavor than simply collecting hard copies and 'tear sheets' in numerous file drawers.
In recent years hardly a month has gone by without some student or colleague from various places around the globe asking me for a copy of something I'd written years ago that they weren't immediately able to put their hands on. Sometimes I've been able to send a PDF attachment, but on other occasions I've been reduced to using good old-fashioned snail mail.
So this is the solution. We've organized all of my past publications, from 1978 to the present, in two comprehensive menus: one chronological, by year of publication, and the other topical, with straightforward subject categories organized in reverse chronological order. In June 2010 I finally scanned in several dozen remaining book chapters and biographical dictionary entries written in years past, so that now this site is 100% complete, excluding only items that have been directly reprinted from one or another of my books. As of mid-2011 I'm in the midst of a huge, multi-year project that will all but fully occupy me until at least early 2015, and so there'll be fewer forthcoming review essays and law review articles than has been the case over the last decade-plus.
Needless to say, this wouldn't have happened at all without Darleen's initiative and technical skills. I also owe great thanks to Dennis Hutchinson, Charles Kaiser, Mark Feeney, Ernie Suggs, and Carlin Romano for helping me track down the full-texts of some items that were otherwise not readily available, and to Stuart Marcelle and Barrie Smith for help with scanning.
So please browse and enjoy. Don't hesitate to tell me– email@example.com–if there's something you believe can be improved!

Joe's Pond ice-out contest could set recordFile Photo
Floating cinder blocks reveal the end of the Joe's Pond ice-out contest in 2007, see in an image from the Joe's Pond Association.
WEST DANVILLE — This just in: The first few days of the annual ice-out contest on Joe's Pond won't be monitored — no clock, no pallet, no flag, no need — because, frankly, this one could take awhile.
Just ask Jane Brown, co-chairwoman of the fundraiser that began as a hyper-local guessing game among camp owners with cabin fever and, since they started selling tickets and taking names in 1988, has steadily grown into a contest with international appeal. It raises money for Fourth of July celebrations.
Seasoned observers like Brown will tell you the ice on Joe's Pond has rarely gone out before April 15 — it's happened only twice — and never made it to May 15.
That doesn't mean that plenty of people who've paid $1 for the privilege haven't guessed that it would over the years. It just means they've generally been considered clueless when it comes to the weather patterns in West Danville.
This year, not so much, according to Brown, who said Monday there won't be a lot of scoffing at mid-May predictions, because the odds of them being correct are infinitely better than the odds of the ice going out between now and April 15.
An unusually frigid winter has left some 2 feet of snow blanketing roughly 36 inches of ice on a pond that was still frozen solid as today's 11:59 p.m. deadline for submitting entries approached.
"Locals are saying we'll be lucky if the ice is gone by June or so (and) some people are saying we'll be watching the fireworks on July Fourth from the ice," Brown said.
"Everybody is pretty pessimistic about it at this point."
Like the weather, that can change. And Brown said it can't change fast enough for those who predicted — in most cases months ago — that the ice-out would come on, say, April 5 as it did in 2010, or April 8 as it did in 2012.
"It's not going that early this year," said Brown, who explained organizers have decided to wait until days after the contest is technically underway to set up the contraption that will select this year's winner.
"This year it's just been such a wicked winter that no one wants to go out and set it up," she said, noting that while this weekend offered a bit of a reprieve in terms of temperature, a cold rain was reason enough to procrastinate.
"Everybody is saying: 'We've got plenty of time, no rush to get it out,'" she said of a wooden pallet, cinder block and flag that will eventually be placed on the ice and connected by a rope to the plug of a clock that has yet to be mounted on Bill and Diane Rossi's back deck.
The Rossi place became ice-out central last year, when the duo inherited a role played for years by Homer Fitts. They replaced the tired old clock that had been used since the inception of the ice-out contest with one that is much larger and added a webcam so folks from all over the world can monitor the melting.
This year they've added a similarly sized thermometer to the mix and a second webcam, which will be trained on the pallet, block and flag that will eventually slip through the parting ice, pulling the plug on the clock and ending the contest.
It already has entries from Connecticut to Kansas to California, more than a couple from Hawaii, and several from foreign countries. That's according to Henretta Splain, who has already entered about 5,000 of them into a database and expects she'll have to enter at least 5,000 more when the last entries arrive.
"So far the one that was sent from the furthest away came from New Zealand," said Splain, who entered one the other day predicting June 3 as the winning date, a guess that she says doesn't sound as crazy this year as it did last year. Splain also just entered another predicting an ice-out time on May 28.
Could either be right?
"Oh, God, I hope not!" said Splain, who conceded she wouldn't be surprised if the ice-out stretches into May — something it has done only six times in the last 26 years, three of them just barely.
The ice-out ended May 1 in 1996, 1997 and 2007; it lasted until May 4 in 1994 and 2001; and it has never ended later than May 6, a record set in 1992.
Brown said there is a decent chance that record could fall this year, and Splain said that possibility is reflected in predictions that are trending a little later than usual this year.
"We've got a lot of late April, early May (entries)," she said.
That sounds about right to Brown, who said that until the last few days signs of spring have been few and far between.
"We figure we've been growing ice right up until this past weekend," she said. "It's a lot different than 2012 when we thought it was going to go out before April 1."
Those interested in entering the contest still have time, and the price remains just $1 a guess. A lengthy list of central Vermont businesses sell tickets, and an online purchase option can be found at joespondvermont.com. The winner receives half the proceeds from ticket sales, less expenses, with the balance going to finance the Joe's Pond Association's Independence Day fireworks display.
Brown said she has received calls from people wanting to know the depth of the pond, the average temperature in West Danville in January, and other meteorological minutiae before picking their dates and times.
"I tell them: 'It's Mother Nature's decision, not ours. I don't think it's a very scientific process,'" she said. "All I know is once it starts to go … it goes real quickly once the real warm weather sets in."

February 29, 2012 —
The 10-year legal battle over whether or not the public will be allowed to traverse land in the development created by the Woodstone Companies appears to be over. According to an application filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Alliance Energy Renewables (AER) posted a bond of $402,000 and, "Accordingly, as of February 24, the public has a right to travel along this pathway to the recreation area."
It's not clear if the gates blocking the way have been taken down, yet, but Smallwood resident Bob Barrett believes if they are not down yet, they soon will be.
According to Barrett, Judge Michael H. Melkonian ruled on the eminent domain case brought against Woodstone Companies and developer Steve Dubrovsky in January, and said that AER will be granted the land in question.
AER is licensed by FERC to operate a hydropower plant at the Swinging Birgde reservoir, and one of the conditions of the permit is that there needs to be two areas of public access to the Toronto Reservoir. The legal battle was over whether that provision of the license could be enforced, and one of the access points has been blocked for most of the last 10 years.
Two years ago, AER moved to sell its reservoirs and hydropower operations in Sullivan County to The Eagle Creek Companies, but FERC denied the transfer of title for the Toronto until the matter of access was resolved, forcing AER into the eminent domain proceeding.
In discussing the judge's decision, Barrett said, "The judge said what I said 10 years ago: that the Bethel Planning Board did not listen to the fact that there was an impediment to an application by Woodstone when they were going to build that section of their project, and that impediment also appeared in the deed."
He continued, "That planning board, because of misinformation or being misled or whatever it was, just went along with Woodstone and refused to accept the information that I brought forward 10 years ago. And this thing has dragged on for this period of time because of that."
Barrett said this is just about the end of the matter because there is no appeal on the eminent domain procedure. He said the $402,000 is to compensate Dubrovsky and two other property owners for the easements, and the amount of the award can be appealed, but the not the use of the road.
Dubrovsky's attorney John Houghton, however, said his office has filed an appeal of the decision and, "If it stands, my client must be justly compensated."

I'm calling functions in a Postgres DB that make use of RAISE EXCEPTION. When I call the function from a SQL stored proc using linked server I don't seem to be able to capture the exception.
I'm tried calling my function as follows:
SELECT myfunc FROM OpenQuery(LINKEDSERVER,'select myfunc(25081) as myfunc ')
exec ('SELECT myfunc FROM OpenQuery(LINKEDSERVER,''select myfunc(25081) as myfunc'')')
Is it possible to capture the Postgres Exceptions when using linked servers and OpenQuery?

text: Three months ago, as soon as I got home from having my daughter, I like many mommies started pumping and freezing. Doing the right thing for my daughter. I call the milk from the early days, my liquid gold. But recently my daughter got sick, I gave her some of the early BM (liquid gold) and she refused it over and over. I started to realize that everytime we give her a bottle she refuses it. I thought is was just "breast was best". It turns out I tasted my milk, YUCK! It tastes like soap. So now I have over a hundred bags of 6+ oz of frozen gross milk. Is there anything that anyone knows of that I can do to make the frozen BM taste good, so she can have her liquid gold and I don't have to throw out all that precious BM? I know now to scald then freeze, but I would have never thought I had this lipase problem.

Thanks BG! I got out of work about an hour early but had a couple of errands to do. Then we went out for a quick bite to eat.
AAWWW,that's so CUTE!
Merry Christmas to all. Happy new one....................

ahem - I think if you examine the poter of post #2, you will find that that is MY blender.
gotta be good..Santa is airborn !!
Merry Christmas to you and yours
A brief note:
Since Mark is going to be gone for about two weeks, like both Rush and Sean Show threads will be in the "NO" mode right after Christmas, to go through until the begining of the New Year. Will put the Mark thread in the same "NO" mode for the next two weeks during the Christmas/New Year's break. If Jim Vicevich goes on vacation, there a thread for Christmas Eve, then no thread.
Have a good and blessed Christmas, New Year 2013. :)=^..^=
poter should be author
Sorry to overlook, consider the mistake a bonus blender. Been busy.
gunna be awful dull on the airwaves without Rush, Sean and Mark gone at the same time
vacation blog (white house parody site. pretty good, looks like the real one)
Looks stoned... protecting the ball like a box of "Screaming Yellow Zonkers", during a 'munchies' attack. LOL.
I don't know what that means. I had planned to post a thread (regardless of who is hosting) when I'm around just like always. Is that ok?
♪ ♫ ♬ Walking 'Round In Womens' Underwear ♪ ♫ ♬
is ok by me ;~)
Oooops; missed you two on the thread. Sorry.
♪ ♫ ♬ Walking Round In Womens Underwear ♪ ♫ ♬
"NO" or "NOT" ?
I think we broke the thread
Hi Fudd Fan, Biggirl.
I have no problem, if you are going to be around, that would be great, even with the subs. Just got off the phone and took care of the cats. Now I hope I can sit and eat.
Thanks Fudd Fan, have a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
The "NO" as in the NO or NOT Mark Levin Show, or Rush, or Sean.
Wanted to take a minute from work and wish every one a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Definitely on life-support now.
Not surprise. Welcome to the last few days before Christmas. The stores will have lines, or close to having lines. Plus the Christmas parties are very big this weekend before. So it should be no surprise that this thread is quiet.
Good that Mark is getting the word out about animal adoption. Also the rescue organizations will be busy this weekend as well.
Merry Christmas!
Figured that and you confirmed it.
Have A Very Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

The Hangover
I know it's only the second day of a new year and I know I shouldn't feel burned out. But, well, sometimes you just can't control these things. And let's face it, it's still bowl season so shouldn't I really be watching football right now? All excuses aside, though, the burden of a blogger is a heavy burden indeed. That's why I'm going to let Zach Galifianakis explain instead:
All kidding aside, thanks for sticking with us through 2009 and we hope you keep coming back in 2010. Happy Saturday!

happy new year!!! I look forward to reading more of your blog entires this year! I also look forward to the season starting!
lol @ the video
I can't believe I have not had a drink since Christmas when I had a glass of wine.
Always a pleasure reading what you two have to say
Happy 2010!
it's Al back in the house.. must mean Jeff is stuck under some unknown couch somewhere trying to remember where he was two days ago and what the hell he drank…:-)
Happy New Year both you guys…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
I've been coming back ever since I read about the Triumvirate. This post was great. Zach Galifianakis is my fave. I used to have dreams about him. Even now, fatter and beardier, I still have a massive crush. I'm glad I'm not the only one that remembers Late World. Thanks for the laughs. Again.

When it was over, Ted Thompson's mantra remained unchanged. He insisted that he hadn't drafted for need, that he'd trusted his board, that he'd taken the best player available.
And, truth be told, the Green Bay Packers general manager had draft-pick proof of that in several instances.
After all, he'd obviously taken his highest-rated player regardless of position at least a few times – while the Packers needed wide receiver help, they certainly didn't need to use three picks on the position – during the seven-round 2014 NFL Draft, which ended Saturday evening.
Also, he hadn't filled all his positional needs over the three days, having not selected an inside linebacker, which had been one of the Packers' weak spots entering the draft.
And, for the first time in 10 drafts as the Packers GM, he didn't execute a single draft-day trade, meaning at no point did he look at his board and see a player that he absolutely, positively had to go up and get, the way he did with a select few (Clay Matthews, Morgan Burnet, Jerel Worthy most notably) in the past. (Of Thompson's 30 draft-day trades in his first nine drafts, 24 were backward.)
Thus, Thompson was able to finish off the nine-player draft and say with a straight face that he didn't intend to use the draft to target all the areas that ailed his team.
"I've said this over and over, I didn't go into this draft trying to address need. That's what we don't do," Thompson said. "If the perception is that we relieved a need, that's fine. But that's not how we view our team."
Perhaps not, but look at what Thompson and the Packers personnel and coaching staffs did with their nine selections.
With their first-round pick, Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, they finally addressed their most glaring position of weakness, a trouble spot since Nick Collins' career-ending neck injury in 2011.
With their second-round pick, Fresno State wide receiver Davante Adams, they got a pass-catcher in the mold of departed veteran James Jones who could be the latest in a long line of second-round success stories at receiver.
With their two third-round picks, they added Southern Mississippi defensive tackle Khyri Thornton, the fifth defensive lineman they've drafted in the past three years and a logical replacement for unsigned 34-year-old veteran graybeard Ryan Pickett; and California tight end Richard Rodgers, who will be expected to compete for significant playing time at a position where incumbent starter Jermichael Finley seems like a longshot to return between his recovery from a career-threatening neck injury and the fact he'll have multiple free-agent suitors if/when he's cleared to play again.
And then came Saturday, when the Packers took a pass-rushing outside linebacker (Arizona State's Carl Bradford, fourth round), a position that outside of Clay Matthews has been perennially disappointing; a center (Ohio State's Corey Linsley, fifth round) who'll compete for the vacant starting job after Evan Dietrich-Smith wasn't re-signed; a cornerback (Baylor's Demetri Goodson, sixth round) who could spend a year developing while starter Tramon Williams and reserve Davon House enter the final years of their contracts; and two more wide receivers (Wisconsin's Jared Abbrederis, fifth round; Saginaw Valley State's Jeff Janis, seventh round).
Since the three receivers were more than quarterback Aaron Rodgers could have asked for – and considering that Thompson confessed to being surprised that Abbrederis was still on the board at No. 176, and that Janis was projected by some to be a second-day prospect – it's reasonable to think that Thompson simply saw too much value in each player to pass him up.
But beyond that, every other pick took care of a hole – some larger than others – in the roster. Whether Thompson was truly able to fill those with the best player available each time because there were simply so many areas of need, Thompson wouldn't say. ("I haven't even thought about that yet," he replied.) But there's no denying that the Packers are better off at multiple positions that were concerns a few days ago.
"Sometimes the needs of the perception and needs of the reality might be a little different," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. "You don't really sit there and lock in on positions as much, and we've talked about this in here time and time again. The way the board is set, you have it set by position vertically, but the value of it is horizontal. And you can't get into reaching and things like that because that's when you make mistakes and you may potentially pass up a great player."
Added Thompson : "Today especially, [but really] all three days, we tried to go towards quality. And it's definitely the way the board worked out. We stuck with the board and tried to do it the right way."
The right way resulted in five offensive players and four defensive players; three players at positions with no true incumbent starter (center, free safety, tight end); four underclassmen (Clinton-Dix, Adams, Rodgers and Bradford); and eight players from Football Bowl Series schools.
But perhaps the most surprising was the no-trade approach.
"There were tons of conversations during the course of the weekend and today as well. None of the deals that we were offered were just right for us, and apparently none of the deals that we offered were right for the other teams," Thompson said. "And sometimes, you wait for an hour and you're ready to pick somebody. There were a few times where you had to go through a little gut-check where you're 10 picks away and you've kind of got your eyes on a name or two. And once it gets to be your opportunity, you're kind of anxious to go ahead."
Now, McCarthy and Thompson are anxious to see what they've got.
In the 6-1, 208-pound Clinton-Dix, they have their first first-round pick at safety since another Alabama safety, George Teague, was taken by Ron Wolf at the bottom of the 1993 first round.
"We just tried to improve our safety competition. It definitely improved there," McCarthy said. "How Ha Ha is utilized, that will be determined when he comes in here and competes for a position."
In the 6-1, 212-pound Adams, they have an ultra-productive two-year starter (233 receptions, 38 touchdown catches) who could immediately challenge Jarrett Boykin for the vacant No. 3 receiver job.
"He's the body type we kind of like around here. He's a big guy," college scouting director Brian Gutekunst said.
In the 6-3, 304-pound Thornton, they have another versatile young talent who can move (5.03-second 40-yard dash) and who caught the Packers' eye late in the draft process.

Iowa Invests WIA Incentive Funds in Workforce Partnerships
Iowa is making long-term investments of incentive funds earned for high performance under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) in an Adult Literacy for the Workforce in Iowa initiative (ALWI). Iowa Workforce Development and the Iowa Department of Education's Division of Community Colleges and Workforce Preparation received two rounds of incentive grant funds in 2009 and 2010. The agencies allocated $779,429 to Iowa's 15 community college adult literacy programs through June 30, 2011, and $706,297 through June 30, 2012. ALWI funding was awarded based on the commitment of each community college to include in their programs innovation; research to support their approach; partnerships; and plans for recruitment, retention, sustainability, evaluation, and professional development. The new 2010 WIA Incentive Grant Proposal will support the colleges' efforts to enhance ALWI programs by:
- Expanding the ALWI of community colleges;
- Investing in online GED instruction;
- Extending National Career Readiness Certificate and WIN Licensing; and
- Implementing data system alignment activities.
ALWI participants comprise a longitudinal data set, which allows the state to study follow-up outcomes such as participants' workforce entrance and retention, enrollment in postsecondary education and training programs, and in credit and non-credit training in community colleges or public and private universities. More information is available from Iowa's State Director Helene Grossman.

Hardy was just one of a host of firefighters grinning from ear to ear just before 4 p.m. They had just responded to a fire alarm at the three-story Holiday Inn Express on U.S. Highway 59.
Sitting out front of the what is probably Beeville's largest hotel was Engine 3, the department's residential fire truck and pumper.
On the side of the building, Kirk Delgado was sitting in the cab of the BVFD's $1 million ladder truck, Tower 1.
It was that hotel, and the construction of a couple of other large guest facilities to be built here recently, that prompted the BVFD to ask the City Council to make the purchase of the ladder truck.
Delgado said it was the fourth time since the department obtained the truck that it had left the C.M. "Smitty" Smith Central Fire Station to respond to an actual fire alarm.
Assistant Fire Chief Bill Burris had the explanation for the alarm. He walked outside into the hot, August sun to announce that some workmen on a tiling project inside the building had created some dusty conditions. The dust made its way into the sensors of the hotel's fire alarm system and had triggered the warning.
Fire Chief Donnie Morris came out shortly after Burris, grinning with pride.
Not only had the fire alarm system in the hotel worked, but the volunteers in his department had made Morris proud with their rapid response.
The alarm had not been the result of a real fire. But the volunteers who responded to the notice were pleased to know that if it had been a real fire, chances were that they would have had the flames out and the occupants of the building scrambled to safety before any serious damage occurred or anyone was hurt.
The alarm turned out to be more than a dry run for the firefighters. It was good, lifelike training.

Florence Hotel Guide
Hotels in Florence, Italy range in style as well. For a feeling of true, old-world style, tourists can choose to stay in a building that dates to the middle ages. Those who prefer more modern amenities can find newer hotels in Florence as well, though most 5 star hotels have all of the creature comforts of home regardless of the age of the building. Many of the best hotels in Florence, Italy reside within restored villas. An apart-hotel, a hotel that looks and feels like apartment living, one of the best choices for family travel or for those who plan extended trips to Italy.
The choice of where to stay in Florence is a question that most travelers entertain before planning their flights to Florence. Some of top hotels are outside of the city while others are nestled within the center of the action. Many visitors make reservations at hotels near their specific, chosen destinations. Hotels near Duomo, for example, offer easy access to the beauty of the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore. Hotels near Ponte Vecchio are popular with lovers, old and new. Hotels near the airport are also a good idea. Flights to Florence arrive at the Peretola Airport, which has many accommodation options at excellent rates. Reservations for car rentals are available through Expedia.com, which makes arriving at the hotel from the airport fast and simple.
Florence resorts are yet another way to experience the beauty of Tuscany while on vacation. These resorts combine 5 and 4 star hotels with pools, spas, fitness centers, and more. With so many things to do and see, we at Expedia.com wish to make your visit to Florence memorable and affordable. Whether you choose a boutique hotel in the city center or a sprawling resort in the Tuscan countryside, you will never forget this once-in-a-lifetime getaway.

text: Governor Patrick ensures funding for the contracts of MTA higher ed members With the stroke of a pen, Governor Deval Patrick ensured funding for the contracts of thousands of MTA members who work as faculty, librarians and staff at higher education institutions all over Massachusetts. On Oct. 15, Patrick put his signature on a $420 million bill that included approximately $8 million in funding for three-year contracts for public employees at UMass, the state universities and the community colleges. "This is extremely welcome news for MTA higher ed members — I'm happy to be able to put this contract struggle behind us," said Joseph LeBlanc, chairman of the MTA's Higher Education Leadership Council and president of the Massachusetts Community College Council. "Now we can turn our attention to more pressing issues, including getting Governor Patrick re-elected to office and defeating Question 3, which would dramatically cut the sales tax at a time when public higher education needs more funding, not less." The struggle for signed and secured contract funding was lengthy. It included meetings with legislators and the governor, along with rallies, pickets and other targeted actions. The agreements now in place were initially settled in 2009 and sent on to the governor, who submitted contract funding bills to the Legislature for approval. Legislators, however, did not act on those bills, and they sat for months. Acknowledging the financial difficulties facing the state, MTA higher ed leaders more recently agreed to postpone each of the negotiated raises for an additional year. The contract funding was included in a spending package sent to the House floor in September. Once the bill was there, some dramatic moments ensued. Representative Karyn Polito, a Shrewsbury Republican and candidate for state treasurer, singlehandedly held up passage of the spending bill for a week, effectively holding it hostage. In September, the Legislature was meeting in informal session, which means that a single legislator can block passage, as Polito did. The bill passed the House on Oct. 4 — with the support of both Republicans and Democrats — after Polito arrived late to the morning session and missed a chance to block it. From there, the spending package was sent on to the Senate, which passed it on Oct. 8. The bill was stalled for a couple of days by Republicans who had questions for the governor about some of the proposed spending. While the bill was awaiting the approval of the Senate, a group of about 25 MTA higher ed members met with Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester) to urge passage. Tom Goodkind, president of the Professional Staff Union at UMass Boston, said the meeting gave Tarr an opportunity to "see the faces and hear the voices of hard-working public employees struggling to survive in today's economy." Goodkind said he thought the experience was somewhat eye-opening for Tarr and went a long way "toward counteracting the myths of lazy, overpaid state workers." At the meeting, Goodkind said, Tarr assured the MTA members that the bill would pass the Senate. "In fact that's what happened the next day, with the senator's vote," Goodkind noted. Polito made yet another attempt to block the bill during the following week when it arrived in the House for final approval. At that time, she unsuccessfully proposed an amendment that would have eliminated contract funding from the final version. The House and Senate then passed the bill, and the governor signed it. "It's great that we've been able to bring the contract funding process to closure," said MTA President Paul Toner. "Our higher ed members and staff worked hard to get this bill through the Legislature and onto the governor's desk. We thank Governor Patrick and the many legislators who worked with us for their support and leadership." The contracts reached by MTA unions representing faculty, librarians and professional staff include a 1.5 percent retroactive increase as of June 30 and two subsequent 3.5 percent increases on June 30 of 2011 and 2012. The new contracts for MTA members represented by classified units, whose members earn step increases, include a 1 percent retroactive increase as of June 30, 2010, and 3 percent increases on June 30 of 2011 and 2012. Two MTA unions, the Association of Professional Administrators and the Massachusetts Community College Council, are on different contract cycles than the other units. APA and MCCC members will receive a 1.5 percent pay increase and two 3.5 percent increases. While the delays will be of the same duration, they will occur in different calendar years for each union.

Hey all,
My little girl (baby #3) had been stooling almost with every feeding...nice yellow seedy stools (after we got past some green stool issues at about 3 weeks from my supply still evening out). But now, she has not had a stool in about 72 hours (other than two different times she had a tiny streak of yellow in her diaper). She has had VERY wet diapers (overfilling her size 1's). She's also been gaining great (was 7/5 at birth, and is now 10/5). The other thing I'm wondering about is while she hasn't been pooping, she's been sleeping non-stop...like 20 hours in a day! She has very little awake time (although when she does, she is very happy and smiley), so I'm not sure if that's related.
I have had BFing friends tell me their babies ended up with strange pooping patterns once they got a little older, such as only going twice a week. I know that not stooling can be a concern, but I can't figure out what could be causing it.
Oh and some other details: When she nurses, she is done in about 5 minutes on just one side (not from falling asleep, she just doesn't want anymore - my two older boys were the same way - only ate on one side). I have a very active letdown, and my milk release is just very fast and effective. She is eating every 2-3 hours during the day and 3-4 at night.
Anyway, should I be concerned? I really don't want to deal with a doctor unless it's necessary...but I have never dealt with a non-pooping baby before!

This album is very meh for me. I'd probably give it a 7 or something. Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses, Need To Control and Evolution Through Revolution are still a lot better than this, just my opinion.

What is the problem with Grindcore being original? There ARE bands pushing the envelope in grindcore and there are many examples.
Written by errorcode99 on 21.02.2012 at 17:38I hope there are! i was just being silly in my comment
Written by Vox Monster on 23.02.2012 at 21:25
I finally decided to register because of this Brutal Truth review. I'm just glad that you felt the same way about this album. This is a great Grindcore album that shows the many different ways this genre can develop. This is no holds barred Grind dripping with grit and attitude. A top notch release from a pioneer in the genre. Also check out Total Fucking Destruction featuring the same drummer. That is one of many favorite albums also.

The Anti Captain Planet
If the right-wing blogosphere is to be believed, America is about to fall into the hands of Islamo-fascist terrorists who will forever alter our country and turn it into a new Islamic theocratic outpost. How do they know this? Because an Arab-American just won Miss USA.
I'm still a little unclear but the theory goes something like this. It all starts at the top with Barack Obama who is a secret Muslim. There's a small disconnect here but then we pick up the next strand which is that Hizballah and other groups secretly bankrolled the campaign of Rima Fakih and rigged the voting so she could become Miss USA. And I guess that with their combined powers, Obama and Fakih will form some sort of anti-Captain Planet.
Yeah, there really does seem to be something missing there. Maybe the point is that a Muslim Miss USA will make other little girls think that they should be Muslim too? Or maybe she's the Manchurian contestant and at some point we're going to find out that someone else is pulling the strings and using her immense powers to their own benefit?
Or perhaps the crazies have just missed the boat once again and need to get off their nativist high horses. Yep, she's a Muslim. But, she also poses onstage in a bikini. Sounds like she takes her religion about as seriously as Carrie Prejean. As I've mentioned before, Islam is no more a monolithic religion than is Christianity so the only thing this really shows is that there are degrees of adherence.
Me, I think it's great she won. First off, it's great to have people talk about Islam because of something other than terrorism. And second, she's from Michigan. This state needs something good. And if you take another look at her picture, I think you'll agree that she is very good. Hm, I wonder if she'd want to hit a Tigers' game with me?

Politics shmolitics. This was just an excuse to post a pic of a girl in a bikini! LOL. Love the fact that she ended up being a pole dancer or something, didn't she?
One man's pole dancer is another man's princess.
well it looked like the right person won🙂 She's beautiful and it seems like she has a good head on her shoulders. That's always i think more important than your looks. Yeah for Michigan lol
Good things come from Michigan. Not a lot of good things, but sometimes…

My baby was born large, 9lbs 5oz and had low blood sugar and was fed some formula and then hooked up to an IV in the hospital. We had a lot of trouble with getting him back to breast and now that he is home it is an ordeal.
He gets to the initial stages of hunger and we put him to the breast and he bonks his head against the breast, trys a latch but slips off. Most of the time, we can end of getting a latch after about 45 minutes of trying (and calming the baby as he gets frustrated and starts to cry). I don't know what I am doing to cause the problem and my milk supply isn't coming in as expected (It has been 6 days and I don't think all my milk is in).
I am not getting any sleep, because he feeds and then stops and maybe sleeps for an hour or so before we have to start the whole ordeal again. Is there a better technique? I noticed a nurse-in and I might be willing to try, but my c-section makes staying still in bed very difficult...

I understand that there is speculation that "Masked Marth" may actually be Marth himself.
It has been confirmed that characters from other Fire Emblem games will be appear as DLC. However, do you think these three lords will appear, or will they keep them out so as to avoid them stealing the spotlight from FE13's lords.
