President Obama had another tough week, as he continued to get hammered by conservative groups over a series of issues from the attacks in Benghazi to the way that conservative groups were treated by the IRS.
Barack Obama – Loser – Once again, the president has been found to be tracking reporters' actions, in this case, one from Fox News. The White House apparently believed that James Rosen had come into possession of sensitive information from a defense analyst concerning North Korea. They then began monitoring the reporter, including searching through his e-mails and cell phone records. This is on the tail of recent similar accusations involving reporters from the Associated Press.
In a difficult one-two punch for the president, news also surfaced last week that four Americans, so far, have been killed by drone strikes under his watch.
Eric Holder – Loser – It's looking like the Attorney General may be responsible for the decision to investigate James Rosen. "A justice official" told CNN that the order to obtain a search warrant to investigate Rosen "was vetted at the department's highest levels, including Holder," according to the report.
Ted Cruz – Winner – The Republican senator from Texas has been invited to speak at Cornerstone Action's annual fundraising dinner, held in Manchester, New Hampshire this fall. This gives Cruz, a potential presidential candidate in 2016, a large audience for his message in an early-primary state. He has already appeared in South Carolina.
Gabriel Gomez and Ed Markey – The Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively, to replace John Kerry in the Senate are caught in a campaign as pure as, well, pond scum. Markey characterized his Democratic challenger as "pond scum" in a recent ad, and displayed a picture of Gomez side-by-side with an image of Osama bin Laden. As the picture aired, the ad criticized Gomez for working with a group that criticized the president after the death of the terrorist leader.
Obama's series of scandals may be the most difficult his administration has faced so far. His performance with the press since he first came onto the political scene has, so far, proved stellar. Still, messing with the press when you are a politician is never a good idea.

About This Book
Growing up in North Carolina, Michael Jordan, like many kids, dreamed of becoming a sports star. But basketball was his brother's game — Michael, who was only of average height, played baseball. Then he grew . . . and everything changed. Michael began to play basketball, and became one of the greatest athletes of all time. Author Chip Lovitt follows his career from his school days to college — where his last-minute shot clinched his college team's NCAA title — to glory with the Olympic Dream Team, to his long reign as the NBA's top scorer, and through his many championship seasons with the Chicago Bulls. But while basketball has been the driving force in Michael Jordan's life, Jordan has never lost the desire to give something back to the fans who have supported him so long. Living up to the values instilled in him by his loving family, Jordan has made a second career of finding ways to help others.
Filled with play-by-play descriptions of pivotal games in Jordan's career, this fast-paced biography draws on interviews with Michael Jordan himself, as well as his friends, family, and teammates. Readers will get a multi-dimensional picture of the player, and of the man — someone who has never lost sight of himself in the face of incredible success and fame.

How To Decide Which Acid Reflux Cure You Need?
|Date Added: February 15, 2011 01:09:39 AM
|Author: Rudy Silva
|Category: Health / Food
Your stomach knows how to give you an acid reflux cure. That is why it maintains an acid condition of 1 to 3 pH in your stomach. Stomach problems occur, however, when acid pH starts to be as low as 3.5. Eating a variety of food and drinking various liquids during your meal can change your stomach pH. If your stomach pH moves higher than pH 3.0, this can lead to acid reflux. Diseases like acid reflux or just stomach upsets occur when you eat a poor diet or eat improperly. This causes your stomach to distort its functions, the function of the surround valves which control the movement of food moving in and out of the your stomach, and the acid secretions from its walls. Your stomach likes its acid to be 1 to 3 pH. What keeps your stomach acid at this level is a hormone called "Gastrin." Your stomach lining will release this hormone when necessary to keep your stomach pH at 1 to 3. This hormone activates "parietal cells, also located in the stomach lining, to release HCl acid. As more acid is pumped into the stomach, the pH drops down below 3, which signals the G cells to decrease or stop the release of Gastrin. To create an acid reflux cure, you need to maintain control of your stomach pH. In the past people and doctors thought that acid reflux was caused by too much acid in the stomach. So pharmaceutical companies created products to reduce the amount of acid you have in your stomach, when you get acid reflux. But this is the wrong approach for getting an acid reflux cure. When food enters into your stomach that is 6-7 pH or nearly alkaline, then this causes your G cells to pump out gastrin so that the stomach lining can inject HCl into your stomach to start breaking down your food and to lower the pH back to 2-3. Gastrin also has other functions in your stomach. It controls your stomach contractions, which help to mix your stomach contents back and forth. After you food is mixed and broken down by your stomach acid, this mixture moves into your duodenum and small intestine. In the duodenum, you continue to digest food and begin to absorb the food that is digested. The pancreas and the gallbladder release chemicals that help to continue to reduce your food down where it can then be absorbed through the small intestine walls. Using over the counter product to reduce the strength of your stomach as is the wrong approach for an acid reflux cure. These products will block the creation of HCl during your meal and your stomach is signaled to release gastrin to produce more acid. Since a drug is blocking acid creation, the G cells believe that not enough acid is being released into the stomach so more gastrin is released. Taking a 20 mg of Prilosec can result in the production of 3 to 4 times more Gastrin than necessary. When you take more Prilosec, 40 - 60 mg, this can result in 10 times more gastrin than needed. Long-term use of Prilosec put you at risk for stomach cancer. To get an acid reflux cure don't depend on drug store product to give to you. Look to more natural products and natural remedies. The No more heartburn is only a click away. All you need to do is to follow the simple instructions in Heartburn No More and Acid Reflux Nutritional Diet. These two helpful materials will tell you everything to permanently eliminate your stomach issues. No need to keep suffering when a cure is close by.

Early word out of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 screenings was that there was no post-credit stinger, which has been a regular feature on comic-book movies since at least Iron Man. So it seems that the makers of Spider-Man – who originally didn't plan any post-credits shenanigans — have come up with a solution: Show a clip from X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Empire broke the news, and from all evidence the X-Men scene will be on the film all around the world, and will feature Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique, Evan Jonigkeit's Toad and Lucas Till's Havok fighting Josh Helman's William Stryker and his men. Though there's no evidence, we'd like to think this whole thing went down this way:
- The Amazing Spider-Man had a post-credit sting that made very little sense/was so ambiguous it seemed slapped together in hopes of emulating Marvel's successes. So for the second film, they decided they'd rather not do one.
- Fans complained that they sat through the credits of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and didn't get a post credits scene.
- Either Sony talked to Fox or Fox talked to Sony about a little cross-promotional synergy and then the magic happened.
This way fans are happy, and Fox gets a push from all the eyes getting a taste of their upcoming superhero movie.
Marvel has mastered the post-credit sting so much that one can now usually count on two of them: one that promotes their next film and another that ties in with the movie at hand. Perhaps at some point they'll get up to three post-credit sequences. The X-Men embraced this with The Wolverine (though First Class did not have one), while DC has stayed away from these for the most part, with only The Green Lantern featuring any sort of mid or post-credit reveal. As Marvel has set the tone for the superhero movie, it's no surprise that other studios are scrambling to follow their lead.
What's your favorite end credit stinger? (It's Shawarma, isn't it?)

Non-towered airport
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (October 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A non-towered airport is an airport with no operating tower, or air traffic control unit. The vast majority of the world's airports are non-towered, and even airports with control towers may operate as non-towered during off-hours, typically during the night.
At non-towered airports, instead of receiving instructions from a tower controller, pilots follow recommended procedures. The exact procedures vary from country to country, but they often involve standard arrival and departure patterns, and they may also include radio calls over a common frequency, such as a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
When the traffic volume at an airport gets too high for safe and efficient operations, or when the mix of aircraft types and speeds becomes too large, an airport may be considered for a tower. However, it is also necessary to find the money to construct a building and pay the controllers' salaries; in some cases aviation regulations or local opposition may prevent establishment of the unit.
For special events such as fly-ins, temporary towers may operate for only several days each year at fields that are otherwise non-towered. Temporary towers may operate out of an existing airport building, an RV, or even simply a chair (with a portable transmitter and binoculars).
Non-towered airports may lie inside or underneath controlled airspace. In that case, some or all aircraft arriving and departing require clearances from a remote air traffic control unit, such as terminal or center control, even though there is no control tower managing landings and takeoffs. Pilots may be able to obtain those clearances by radio, by phone, or through a company dispatcher or local Flight Service Station; in some cases, departing aircraft (IFR or VFR) take off and level out below the floor of controlled airspace, then radio for a clearance before climbing further. Some countries establish low-altitude VFR corridors for non-towered airports in large urban areas so that VFR arrivals and departures can avoid controlled airspace altogether.
Even though they do not have control towers, many non-towered airports have radio operations such as UNICOM to assist aircraft arriving, departing, or maneuvering on the ground. These radio operators have no authority to give aircraft clearances or instructions, but they can issue advisories to let them know about weather conditions, runway conditions, traffic, and other concerns.
Hazards are created by failure to use radios to report positions and intentions when operating within the airspace, which can lead to collisions between aircraft unaware of each other. Some pilots fail to use the correct runway at non-towered airports.
Some countries, such as Canada and Norway, use mandatory frequency airports (MF) or mandatory traffic advisory airports (MTAF), which operate like towered airports in some ways: the radio operators (typically a Flight Service Station) still issue only advisories, but aircraft are required to make radio contact with the ground station before operating in the airport's Control Zone.

How do I refinish laminate furniture?
By Roxann from FL Keys
From what I have read, you first have to sand a little, just enough to get some "teeth" to hold the paint. The most important thing to do is to get a good primer. Zinser123 is the best one in my opinion. You may have to put two coats on. If you do, sand between the coats with a fine sandpaper to get it smooth. Then just paint with any latex in the finish of your choice. If you want the shabby chic look, sand down to the original finish at the edges where it might have gotten worn. Good Luck!

Movie Review
by Eric D. Snider
Grade: B
Released: December 14, 2001
Directed by:
"Lantana" opens in that most intriguing of fashions, with the camera panning through thick underbrush to reveal a woman's dead body. As the film gets underway, we are left to assume the corpse was a vision of what's to come, and that one of our female characters is destined to wind up dead in the bushes. Who will it be? It piques our interest.
It is not properly a murder mystery, though that does figure in. "Lantana" is primarly a film about the amusing and poignant ways strangers' lives intersect, and about how we tend not to value what we have until we lose it, or almost lose it.
Leon Zat (Anthony LaPaglia) is a police detective who has heart trouble and is prone to fits of violence. He is having an affair with Jane (Rachael Blake), whom he and his wife Sonja (Kerry Armstrong) know from their ballroom dance class. Jane is separated from Pete (Glenn Robbins) and lives next door to Nik (Vince Colosimo) and Paula (Daniella Farinacci) -- the only happily married couple in the film.
Sonja knows her marriage is in trouble, and she's seeing a psychiatrist named Valerie (Barbara Hershey). Valerie's 11-year-old daughter was murdered two years ago, and she's written a book about the experience -- a deed her husband John (Geoffrey Rush) does not approve of. Their marriage has been in the rubbish heap since their daughter died, and now Valerie thinks John may be having an affair with her gay patient Patrick (Peter Phelps).
All of these relationships and indirect connections become relevant in light, playful ways, and then more seriously when someone turns up dead. What do men like John and Leon have to live for anymore?
The writer is Andrew Bovell, based on his play "Speaking in Tongues." That title is more useful than "Lantana" is. "Speaking in Tongues" suggests the story's theme of communication within relationships, while "Lantana" is a thick, bushy shrub -- presumably where that corpse was found. It is more metaphorical now: The seeds of skepticism have grown into a full-blown jungle of mistrust and fear among the characters. Without breaking through that obstacle, none of these people can be happy.
Director Ray Lawrence keeps things on an even keel, coaxing solid performances from all the leads and maintaining a brisk pace. These are, for the most part, believable and honest characters, though I'm not sure they always behave the way they would in real life. "Lantana" does not penetrate the heart the way it ought to, but it certainly make an impression.
Grade: B
Rated R, frequent harsh profanity, some very strong

SIR REG is an energetic six piece from Sweden playing Celtic punk. On vocals is Brendan, an Irishman who left his hometown of Dublin to come to Sweden to fulfill his dream of putting together the most amazing band possible. Karin, the violinist, is a tiny and fiery redhead from Sweden who has a tendency to leave jaws open with her fiddle skills. The other members Mattias L (drums), Mattias S (bass), Filip (mandolin) and Chris (electric guitar) all have diverse musical backgrounds, and together as SIR REG they are having the time of their lives – making and playing music they all love.
SIR REG is a band that took a long time in the making. For almost a decade, under the name The Barcrawlers, the core of the band gigged its ass off all over Scandinavia playing Irish pub songs at every venue imaginable. It all started in 2002 when Brendan and Karin played covers and Irish traditionals at a few local bars. Brendan had just recently moved to Sweden from Ireland and was in dire need to continue doing what he loved doing back in Dublin – singing and playing.
They hit the road with their favourite songs from bands such as The Pogues, Horslips, Flogging Molly, Blur, David Bowie, Oasis, The Beatles, The Dubliners and Dropkick Murphy's to name just a few. After many winding roads and several hundred shows under their belt, they felt content. They had achieved all that they had set out to do as a "pub-, and cover band". They decided it was about time for the next chapter - making their own music. SIR REG (pronounced "Sir. Redge") was born in early 2009.
They armed themselves with a bunch of original compositions and hit the studio to create something they would be proud of - music they would listen to themselves. With each member's individual influences thrown into a melting pot, the resulting sound was better than they had hoped for.
During the spring and summer of 2010, following the release, they played as many shows possible. In September of 2010 SIR REG went on a three week European tour supporting the American horror rockers The Misfits which broadened the SIR REG fanbase.
SIR REG's CD was voted "Best Celtic rock and punk album of 2010" by the visitors of celticfolkpunk.blogspot.com, and the internet radio station Paddy Rock Radio. To top it off, Celticfolkpunk.blogspot.com also voted SIR REG's CD "Best Celtic band of 2010".
The follow up album "A Sign Of The Times" was released in October 2011.
Once again it was voted album of the year on the internet radio station Paddy Rock Radio. It also got top scores on many other lists and when Slitz (a big Swedish men's magazine) listed the "top 100 Swedish rock bands, SIR REG was their #15 pick.
On the radio station SiriusXM the DJ Little Steven (co founder of The E-Street Band) picked the song "Bolloxology" as one of the best songs of the year. A true honour for the band!
The 3rd album "21st Century Loser" was released in April 2013 and has so far received amazing reviews from every corner of the world. For the third time in a row they achieved the album of the year on Paddy Rock!
The biggest radio station for rock music in Sweden, Bandit Rock, had SIR REG's song "Emigrate" on rotation and it became one of their 15 most played songs of 2013, even though they only picked it up in September that same year! It became so popular that Bandit nominated SIR REG in the categories "Best Swedish Album" & "Best Swedish Breakthrough Band" at the Bandit Rock Awards, the biggest rock award show in Sweden.
Since the start back in 2009, SIR REG have had the privilege to share the stage with likes of: The Misfits, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Alter Bridge, Rob Zombie, Danko Jones, Fiddler's Green, The Real McKenzies, The Exploited and many more!
In June 2014 the band were invited to play Sweden's biggest rock festival, Sweden Rock Festival. A million miles away from their humble pub corner beginnings, but still feeling right at home on the big stage.

Here's a quick look at some adjustments we'll be making:
We'll have to add some catches to Falcon RB Michael Turner's total, since it's clear he will catch more passes under Dirk Koetter. Of course, I might have to take a little from his rushing, since they are struggling in that area.
I'll give Miami RB Daniel Thomas a few more yards and bump him up a bit, but he's still pretty low.
Dolphin WR Davone Bess is pretty high now with a good catch total, but I'll give him a few more grabs.
I'll bump Patriot RB Steven Ridley up a few spots, since he likely cemented his role as the primary ball carrier. I won't go nuts because he doesn't have a huge margin for […]

SAO PAULO (AP) – Top-scorer Fred has been selected for Brazil's second leg against Argentina in a series dubbed the Superclassic of the Americas.
Coach Mano Menezes on Tuesday also picked forwards Neymar and Leandro Damiao for the Nov. 21 match at La Bombonera Stadium in Buenos Aires.
The game was postponed from October because of a power failure in the interior city of Resistencia in Argentina.
Brazil won the first leg 2-1 in Goiania in September. Only players from local clubs are available.
There had been widespread calls for Menezes to give a chance to Fred, who is the Brazilian league's leading scorer with 19 goals and helped Fluminense win its second title in three years on Sunday, scoring twice in the victory that clinched the trophy with three rounds left.

County Line Raceway in Elm City saw plenty of action Saturday night , June 11, 2005 on the 3/8 mile clay oval. The Pure Stock 4 cylinder took the track first in one of their two events for the night. Even though it was a small field of cars they made it exciting. Starting on the front row was pole winner Carlton Toney and outside was George Ballance. Ballance jumped out front and lead the first three laps before Brian Medlin worked his way into the lead Medlin continued to circle the track out front for the win. Following Medlin was George Ballance out of Bunn for second place. Toney finished third followed by Chad Thorne of Wilson and Blake House from Louisburg.
The second event of the night was a field of twelve Super Stock 4 cylinders ready for action. Starting on the front row was two of the young guns Dustin Mitchell of Princeton on the inside pole and Brandon Wells of Kenly on the outside. Wells took the top spot at the drop of the green flag and lead the entire 15 lap feature for his first win of the 05 racing season. Elm Citys Michael Webb and last weeks winner settled for second place after battling with Wells. Mitchell finished third, Tony Cole of Princeton was fourth followed by Selmas Ronnie Johnson for 5 place.
In the 20 lap Super Stock V-S Class was Jerry Baker of Elm City driving for his brother Glenn, who continued to put the #21 on the front row as well as take home the prize money and trophy. Baker lead the last 9 laps for his win. Pole winner Chris Ray of Zebulon lead the first 11 laps before spinning in turns 3 and 4 and collecting five other cars in the pileup. Ray after pitting returned to finish in 6th place. JJ Pendergrass of Nashville after avoiding the caution continued to battle but had to settle for the runner up spot. Pendergrass has collected two wins already this season. Red Oaks Joey Macklin who was also in the big one for the night pitted for repairs but returned and finished in 3 place. Mark Baker dodged the wreck and took home 4 place money. Mark McKenzie of Elm City also spinning to avoid the caution on lap 14 (the big one) pitted for repairs and returned for a 5th place finish.
Ken Corbitt of Sharpsburg in the 25 Lap Thunder & Lightning Division picked up his first win of the season. The front two cars of Britches Liles (last weeks winner) and JP Cascell were all trying for the number one spot, lap after lap but not until the fourth turn of the final lap when Liles, Cascell and Corbitt made it three wide did Corbitt beat it to the start finish line and took the checkered flag. Cascell of Zebulon came across in a close 2 place. Liles after having lead the first 24 laps finished in 5th place. Third place went to Alan Worrell of Elm City who was close on the bumpers of the leaders. Billy Poythress of Rocky Mount beat Liles to the finish line for the 4 place spot.
In the 20 lap Modified 4 Cylinder event Tom Ballance of Zebulon lead flag to flag in his victory for the evening making it back to back wins. Michael Webb from Elm City finishing second did not let ii be an easy win for Balance as he rode his bumper for the duration of the race. Baileys Bill Winstead picked up 3rd place. Jim Massengill of Wilson was more determined than ever to run in this event. In his Heat Race he experienced engine problems, but that was not going to stop him, he just loaded that car up, took it home and returned with another one. Even after all of his efforts he had engine problems again only to finish in 4th place for the night.
Brian Medlin from Henderson makes it two straight wins for the night as he won both of the Special Event Twin Races for the Pure Stock 4 Cylinder. Carlton Toney gained a spot in the second event finishing in 2nd place. Toney is out of Wendell. Chad Thorne from Wilson also moved up a position while finishing third. George Ballance of Bunn started on the pole in the second feature but slipped to fourth place in the end. Blake House from Louisburg just could not seem to get his Mustang into gear and had to settle for 5th place for the second time tonight.
It was an exciting race for the spectators as they watched and cheered the Pure Stock V8 drivers to victory. After three different leaders swapped the lead back and forth lap after lap it was the car driven by racer Michael Lamm from Battleboro who picked up the win. Lamm battled with Wesley Cogdell of Nashville as they exchanged the lead back and forth for the first half of the event. By the end of the race Cogdell after having spun out while leading in turn two on the eleventh lap and bringing out the second caution had to go to the rear and finished fourth. Gary Whitley of Stantonsburg lead only one lap in the lead changing but did take home 2nd place honors. Third place went to Jerry Williams of Snow Hill as he tried to get into position to lead but could not find room around the leaders. David Myers of Bailey settled for a 5th place finish.
See you at County Line Raceway next week for more Saturday Night Thunder with features in Late Model. Pure Stock 4, Super Stock 4, Modified 4, Pure Stock V-8 and Thunder & Lightning,

Job Description for Loan Administrator
There are many reasons individuals seek to procure loans, places one may go to find one, and different contexts in which loan processes are administered. Whatever the variables, most institutions which loan money typically employ a loan administrator to oversee the processes. Also known as a loan officer or a loan processor, these individuals are responsible for every aspect of the loan process, from meeting with prospective borrowers and hashing out terms to overseeing collection and processing of payments and ensuring that everything is handled within legal and regulatory boundaries.Read More...
The specific duties vary among different organizations. A loan administrator for a bank or lending institution must understand the financial processes and regulations and be able to explain them to prospective borrowers. They work closely with these clients to understand their needs and evaluate them to establish their creditworthiness. The loan administrator will also collect all necessary paperwork and documentation and ensure it is correctly filed and registered, and may reach out to current clients in good standing to pitch new loans and other offers.
A loan administrator who works in real estate will deal with budding homeowners and help them understand their many home loan options. They often work with several lending agencies and help new homeowners choose the right lender for their needs. Still others work for collection agencies; these loan administrators work with debtors to assist them in creating payment schedules and other options so they are better able to repay their obligations.
Many organizations do not have specific educational requirements for this position beyond a high school diploma or equivalent, although a college degree in Business Management or Finance is recommended and some may require an established background in accounting or bookkeeping. Most employers focus less on education than the applicant's previous experience in loans and banking in general.
Loan Administrator Tasks
- Develop and negotiate plans with borrowers.
- Answer questions and interview applicants.

Find great books for preschool, elementary, and middle school children and teens along with ideas of ways to teach with them in the classroom across the curriculum.
by Edgar Allan Poe and Michael Connelly, ed.. Short Stories. 416 pages. Grades 6-12.
Find this book: Local Bookstore, Amazon, B&N
No exploration of short stories is complete without reading Poe. If you are looking for an anthology of his stories I highly recommend this one.
This anthology includes essays by various mystery writers like Stephen King and Sue Grafton about how the reading of Poe has affected them. The experience of Poe as required reading in school comes up again and again. The "broccoli" that teenagers are required to eat. The essay writers often compare their early experiences of reading Poe with later readings when they were able to discover greater meaning.
These essays are a great follow-up after reading the stories but are also a good jumping off place for discussions about required reading and about revisiting texts later, how changes in the reader affect later readings. It's a good time to talk about what the reader brings to a story in general.
In the collection of Poe stories anthologized here you'll find old standards such as "The Raven" and "The Pit and the Pendulum" and lesser known stories like "The Descent into the Maelstrom".
Reading these stories in the context of the essays creates a sense of joining a community of readers sharing these stories that so many of us have been affected by. For students it can be their first experience of sharing a readers' community that extends beyond the walls of the school.
Other mystery writers whose essays are included in this book include: Jeffery Deaver, Nelson DeMille, Tess Gerritsen, and Lisa Scottoline.

A very common theme to emerge from this collection of business structure keynotes is that top down management is experiencing a decline. These speeches demonstrate why traditional business models and structures are no longer creating positive results for today's top brands. As the demands of consumers transform in the 21st century, so, too, do the work cultures.
Some of the speakers featured here discuss new management styles, while others offer alternative structures to the typical business hierarchies seen across most industries.
Peter Senge emphasizes the need for businesses to be characterized by collective intelligence and teamwork. He feels that this is one of the major reasons why society isn't progressing to its full capacity. He takes this one point further by stating that this shift in businesses will eventually trickle down to society.
Melinda Gates suggests that today's businesses, including not-for-profits, apply the business model uses by Coca-Cola. Gates explains that the success of Coca-Cola rests in its ability to take real-time data and immediately feed it back into its products, to tap into local entrepreneurial talent and to effectively market its products.
These speeches push for the removal of hierarchy and closed business models in order to succeed in today's rapidly changing world.

Water Environment & Technology (WE&T) is the premier magazine for the water quality field. WE&T provides information on what professionals demand: cutting-edge technologies, innovative solutions, operations and maintenance, regulatory and legislative impacts, and professional development.
For years, the risk of power outages at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and pumping stations was associated with tornadoes, hurricanes, ice storms, or other natural disasters. Because such events generally are localized, most treatment facilities could rely on two separate independent power sources to ensure sufficient electrical reliability during an emergency. However, this may not be the case today.
In the event of a terrorist attack involving chemical, biological, or radiological (CBR) substances, some amount of those substances could enter a nearby collection system and travel to a treatment facility. Therefore, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) staff should plan for such a possibility and coordinate in advance with emergency personnel.
As coastal development continues to surge, how will we address water quality impacts?
Development in U.S. coastal areas is surging. Half of the population, approximately 110 million people, lives on the water-rimmed edge, which comprises 17% of total U.S. land area. Continued growth on coastal lands poses major challenges for protecting and managing the health of U.S. coastal water quality and important coastal resources.

Conclusive proof of the dubious value of charts in measuring true popularity comes with this year's onslaught of "Hot 100" lists.
Billboard magazine ranks the top five of 1966 as: "California Dreaming," "96 Tears," "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted," "Last Train to Clarkesville," and "Reach Out, I'll Be There."
Cashbox claims the top spot is a tie between "The Ballad of The Green Berets" and "California Dreaming." Runners-up are: "The Sound of Silence," "Sonny," "Strangers in the Night," and "You Can't Hurry Love."
ABC radio put the top five as: "The Ballad of the Green Berets," "You Can't Hurry Love," "Strangers in the Night," "Good Loving," and "Reach Out, I'll Be There."
The discrepancy in these charts is telling. "The Ballad of the Green Berets" is number 10 on Billboard's list, number one on ABC. "California Dreaming" is number 13 on ABC, number one in Billboard.
Although factors like closing dates (the Cashbox chart closes November 15, Billboard's in mid-December) and area surveyed (ABC's is the metropolitan area, the others are nationwide) must be considered, the crucial variable is airplay. None of these charts is calculated solely on the basis of record sales. Billboard warns: "Chart positions this year do not necessarily reflect total sales." Cashbox uses a weighted system to tabulate "records which achieved greatest success" on weekly charts. ABC admits its list is really based on the number of weeks a disc stays on that station's survey.
If these charts were tabulated on record sales alone, they would all read differently. "You Can't Hurry Love," which appears on each of these lists, never earned a gold record, according to Variety. Neither did "Reach Out, I'll Be There." But "Hanky Panky," which sold over a million copies, made nobody's top five. Neither did: "Cherish," "Nowhere Man," or "When a Man Loves a Woman," all gold record winners.

Simply educational & fun
By Tutu
from Kentucky
I purchased this item for my grandson who is four years old. We were very excited when we open the box and everything was ready to play except for batteries. Once we put batteries in he was able to play the game without any instructions. The volume was easy to hear. He loved running around stepping on the correct answer. He loved the question mark, it allowed him to have the question repeated. This is an an excellent resource to enhance learning. When it is fun they enjoy it more. I will certainly recommend this to everyone in my circle that have children or grandchildren. He could play alone or with someone else.

Great product!

About Me Grandparent
I originally went to the Learning Resources website to look at the cash register for my 3 year old granddaugter and saw the Math Mat Challenge Game. After reading the reviews, I ended up buying not only the cash register but 2 of the Math Mats for grandsons. One grandson is 6 and in Kindergarten and the other is 4 1/2 and in preschool. The boys are cousins and opened the gifts at different Christmas gatherings, but their reactions were similar. Once they were told what kind of game it was and what was involved, they wanted to play it immediately. Both love games, math and jumping, so it was a natural! Even with the difference in ages, the Math Mat was fun for each of them due to the different games and levels of play. Each grandson was able to play it by himself but it was also fun for older siblings and adults to play with them if they needed help. I like that they are learning and improving their math skills but having fun and being active at the same time.

In the late 80s there was an echo of punk that came to be grunge. Nirvana and Pearl Jam came out of Seattle and the Pixies came out of Boston. Like 70s punk with its intellectual anger, these bands spat loud about the question "why?" or rather "WHY????". Of them all, the Pixies were the most surreal but also presbyterian. At one and the same time the world is not as it is and not as it ought to be.
I know them only through their most popular record Doolittle but I knew a part of my younger life would be renewed by hearing Frank Black scream "and if the Devil is six, then God is seven, God is seven". I was right.
Some admissions. We sat at the back, my older brothers and I. I wore ear plugs. We left a little early to beat the rush. These were the accomodations of the years and I was not about to go through five days of ear ringing like I dealt with after last year's Sloan concert. Plus, given the hockey rink setting, the concrete floor and the metal ceiling, it was all distortion falling over itself. Probably the worst venue for a band I have ever been at. The opening acts - one whose name we didn't even bother catching as well as a quite respectable The Darkness-esque (with out the irony) called The Datsuns - did not get the idea of controlling the wall of sound to meet the venue. They were just loud. The Pixies were loud, too, but sometimes at moments not loud.
It was at first something of a wait for their hits "This Monkey's Gone to Heaven", "Debaser" and "Here Comes your Man" [6.9 MB 19 second short] - perhaps waiting most of all for the spectacle of a throat ripping yell from Frank Black (not nee but was Black Francis). But I was struck by the sharp needling guitar of Joey Santiago and the pounding red-hot bass of chain-smoking Kim Deal.
They were very tight and discomforting. Here are some murky photos from the show, including one of the incredibly busy beer vendors right in front of us.

I couldnt help but come back to pat myself on the back for a fairly good handicapping job on this race. The win price was worth the shot, the exacta paid handsomely, and Gioponti made a nice DD with a spectacular race. I was very pleased to see Andy was including Summer Bird and I know how much he likes Gioponti, so I'm willing to bet he had a decent day. Am I wrong.
Anything Up With Dunkirk???? Why is both Gomez and Prado NOT coming back to ride Dunkirk? Instead they are now on Chocolate Candy and Mr. Hot Shot. Also, Dunkirk's last 2 works were NOT bullet workouts (unlike his previous 4 workouts which were all bullet works).
First-time commenter, long-time reader. Do you think Pioneerof The Nile would win this Belmont, or would he have to settle for 2nd.
Great blog!
Thanks Sue and I stand corrected that Rescue Party only raced on turf. For what it's worth, Shug seems to have an outstanding record racing his horses on synthetic tracks.
Thank you Andy for the "Shug" lesson that's why this is Andy Serling's Blog.
I agree with you on the synthetic and turf resemblance. I was just noting that the horse performed better on the main track at Keenland then he did the turf at Gulfstream :) Lots of Luck on Saturday ..Happy Handicapping.
Sue, the synthetic surface at Keeneland bears about as much resemblence to dirt as I do to Brad Pitt. It plays as a turf course. Shug's real name is Claude. Shug trains Rescue Party.
Andy,Rescue Squad's only win was on the synthetic @ Keenland 1 1/8, his only impressive one in my opinion; take a look: http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/race/USA/KEE/2009/4/19/4
He is actually trained by Claude, Shug's son. Anyhow, I apparently have way too much time on my hands :)
Can't wait for Saturday, Mr. Hot Stuff wins the award for best looking of this bunch, too bad it's not a beauty contest.
DUNKIRK by 3 in belmont early in the year he was rank the best 3 year old and never won a graded race.IN florida derby he ran into a monster in the KDERBY he went to his knees so toss that race if runs back to 108 or better cant see anyone improving that much.MTB"s 105,106 two good beyers dont think he can maintain or improve not with 3 races in 5 weeks . My second choice is choc. candy.
Hank, maybe I am wrong, but I believe Rescue Party has run exclusively on the turf. In my opinion, if Shug McGaughey felt he could run well on the dirt he would not have raced him only on the grass. There are far more opportunities, for far more money, with far more ramifications as far as breeding value, on the dirt than on the turf, and when a trainer as capable as Shug makes a decision to race his horse only on turf, from day one, there is most likely a good reason for this.
Thousands of horses out there, so many well-bred.....but they can't all run like their fathers and their mothers.
Still, if I have to pick a horse bred to go a distance, Mr. Hot Stuff is out of Tiznow, out of a Turkoman dam. Doesn't hurt that Edgar Prado is aboard, either. Would be remarkable if he defeated the son of Birdstone, since he was aboard that sire when Smarty Jones tanked.
Hi Hank..I also took a gander at your Rescue Squad. Sired by Dynaformer whose offspring I noticed run well on turf/grass. Barbaro's maiden win comes to mind. He was an early nomination for the Triple Crown Trail;as were more than 400 two year olds. His three race replays I watched were honest. Maybe Mcgaughey didn't see what he needed inorder to put him on the dirt against tougher. He looks like one to add to your equibase stable to track. Here's a link to check pedigree's for free! http://www.pedigreequery.com/rescue+squad2
Oh..Today's priceless quote from Lukas:
"They all can run a mile and a half," Lukas said. "Some just take longer than others."
Give me 7-1 on every horse and I take MTB every time. Odds even, he's the horse to beat, no doubt. But I have to like some of the others at the posted odds. The best bet, in my humble opinion, at 12-1 is Summer Bird, a real quality horse that almost caught Papa Clem in the Arkansas Derby. He will be there at the end, all things equal.
This race is a horse race. The last 2 were jockey's races.
This is on Rescue Squad's Pedigree -- Never heard of him until now but he has one hell of a pedigree!!!
Third Generation Foundation Sire was Hail to Reason, a Nearco line colt (absolute best Foundation Line – or tail line to some). Nashua, Ribot and Olympia in the rest of the sire line. His dam is a Mr. Prospector foundation line gal with Deputy Minister, Hoist the Flag and Buckpasser in the other lines. I score him at ROUGHLY 76-79 on the "Floyd Breeding Index". Quality Road at 81 is king of the class of 2009 and Dunkirk is at 75 for comparison. A couple of these horses, in his line, I'm still working on.
For the past i dunno 30 years or more,every horse dat has won the first two legs of the Triple Crown has flopped in the Belmont,so dat means if RA had not been in the Preakness MTB would have won 2 JEWLS of the TC,so i garanteed dat MTB will Flop just like the rest,right now i like Charitable Man,Dunkirk and if he stays closer to the pace Summer Bird,but i wont make a final decision till i hear wut my man Andy Serling has to say cuz he is the freaking man lol how bout dat Magical Fantasy race? 6-1? i couldnt believe it lol
I'm in the toss MTB camp. It's rare for a horse to close that strong three races in a row. Also, it appeared that horse was used pretty hard last time. Plus he is the focal point this time. Zito and others will be ready.
Been a MTB fan since Woodbine. All he needed was a jockey who would follow chips plan. Win or lose he's my pick. He might not get the pace set up for his late run. Maybe Calvin will try to steal it on the front? MTB will be winning races long after this class of three year olds heads to the farm.
I don't like the guarantee either, Andy, but Mine That Bird was always better than the credit that's been given him, and he's now peaking at just the right time. He now has a lot more track and distance to work with than he did at the Preakness, and he's looking super strong in practice. I wish Borel would be running on Rachel Alexandra, and I think MTB would still win. Rachel was fading against the colts, even at the shorter Preakness.
Still drinking the caffinated coffee I see.
Borel is looked upon with grave disdain, and this, through the lens of 'betters' that have thought themselves better than he. Truth be told, MTB just might have a real "Birdstone" race in him. May i suggest that Mr. Andy go watch the Sire's Belmont Race. Yes, go look at the trip Birdstone took over Belmont. (it's on Video, here on this site) The more i see MTB, the more i see Birdstone. Odds or not, the horse really could win The Belmont Stakes. [watch 1st then comment]- and he's not even the horse i picked (lol)
Summer Bird could be an interesting horse. Fortunately for me, I was encouraged to watch his KY Derby more carefully, and he did have an impossible trip. I suggest anyone who hasn't watched it to take a good look. I'm still not convinced he's good enough but he needs to be considered.
Calven Borel has never really come across as all that bright but he has a great ability to relax a horse early and find the seams late. What he's probably saying is that MTB is doing fantastic and moving over the track so well right now. Plus, he may just be hitting his peak rather then coming off of it, considering his age (May foal). He's obviously bred for the distance and Borel is not exactly going to go into the first turn wide. All of those things may lead him to to believe that he's a "sure thing", which of course is the problem because there is no such thing, especially in horse racing. I'm pretty sure he was talking that way going into the Preakness a couple years ago on SS when he got nipped at the wire by Curlin too. I love the horse in this race and I think Borel will give him what he needs to get there. When you see the way he works, he just glides over the track so effortlessly and he's so calm. Those sound like winning traits for the Belmont to me.
shug mcgaughey trains a horse named rescue squad. first i should say i have been handicapping for 62 yrs. done fairly well with the triple crown races. rescue squad has been my no.1 horse since feb. and in my very experienced opinion would win the belmont going away. my question is why has he not run on the dirt on the trail? please check his pedigree and past performances and let me know what you think. thank you hank
Andy, Nice try in Albany on Sunday. Now that you got your maiden seminar in Albany out of the way, maybe we'll cash next time out. thanks
While I am not married to my selection and retain the right to change my mind after further deliberation, I think Summer Bird will be this years winner. Im not crazy about KD piloting, but I like the works and I like his last race before the Derby. Can win at a good price. Nice blood lines too!
I'm still learning (after several "fanhood" years - as a Sr. Citizen), so I combine handicapping with hunches, etc. - and here's my views: even though "speed is speed" & Mine That Bird has best last race speed and 2nd best career, I'm putting this Bird in my 3rd or 4th choice in multi-horse exotics. I like the other "bird" - Summer Bird, son of my favorite horse Birdstone from years ago & to this day (saw his 1st race win just entering "fanhood" & his win over Smarty Jones in the Belmont). I know Mine That Bird is also a Birdstone son, but I agree with Andy's comments - and isn't Borel's comments "out of character" with his normal discourse. The PPs have been out from DRF (including June 1 "works") - so what's left? (understand final PPs coming Wed.) My top 6 for exotics are leaving out Brave Victory, Flying Private, Luv Gov and Miner's Escape - hope I'm not wrong; but I may create a small $$ "wacky" exacta or triple including these "throw outs" - I know I'm trying to cover too many bases, so I'll also focus on having a good time with my reserved seats near the finish line. All you bloggers - enjoy. Rich Schrage
There are no sure thing or guarantee"s in horse racing.Caviln all but garanteed a victory in preakness and just made it to the wire first. For his sake I hope he not wrong but I dont like his chances maybe all the van rides and two big races that seemed to have come out of the blue he might bounce cant trust mtb wining. I"ll be looking at choc.candy,dunkirk or summer bird not sure which one yet but I want depend on MTB.
Hmmm... The race is 12 furlongs. If the pace is slow or fast, it's still 12 furlongs. If there is no fast pace-setter. I sus[ect Borel is sharp enough to figure this out and stay closer to the pace. His having "kick" has nothing to do with how the others run. It's simply him and the track, esp in a race like the Belmont. Controlling his fractions is what will win this race, regardless of where he is in the field.
That said, I won't be betting on him either, unless he goes off at 5-1 or higher. Summer Bird is the best bet in this race, if he goes off nearly as high as I expect. We'll know Wednesday.

Waimea has rolling green hills, a cool climate and a rich ranching history. It's the place where the Hawaiian cowboy -- the Paniolo -- came to be!
There's also always a debate about what the area is really called. Is it Waimea or Kamuela?
Nahua Guilloz from Parker Ranch tells us the history of the names.
"The story goes that the postmaster was establishing us Post Offices here in the State of Hawaii and he had already had a couple of Waimeas, and he needed something unique for this area, and he didn't want to do another Waimea," said Guilloz. "He wanted to do something different. And Samuel Parker, who was very influential in government and lived in the area, he asked him what should we do? And he said, why don't you name it after me? Kamuela! So that's kinda how the area got that name Kamuela, but for those who live here, it's just what the Post Office is called."
"Samuel" translates to Kamuela in Hawaiian. But, the people who lives there say the name is Waimea.
Waimea in Hawaiian means "reddish water" and that's for the three streams that flow through that area.

Steve Jobs was one of the most influential people in the history of gaming, and he never even tried. Jobs was clearly not a gamer, a fact that becomes obvious to any serious player who ever owned a Macintosh computer--gaming for the Mac is at best an afterthought. In a 2002 interview, Jobs himself named Nanosaur, a junky Mac-only FPS, as his favorite game. Although he "only" set out to revolutionize the music industry, the personal computing industry and the film industry, along the way, Steve Jobs changed the face of gaming history too.
In spite of Jobs' seeming indifference, Apple and gaming have become inextricably linked. Apple-designed computers and phones that are so accessible, so easy to understand and use, that millions of non-gamers have been introduced to digital fun through their iPhones and iPads, and the iTunes store provides a platform for game developers to easily distribute games and profit from them. Apple's gaming market has grown so quickly that, in a recent product launch presentation, Apple's new CEO Tim Cook, announced that the iPod Touch is the "the most popular game player in the world." Total stealth takeover.
Jobs and Games: The Apple II Years
Way back in 1975, Atari founder Nolan Bushnell had the idea for a one-player Pong style game for his new 2600 system. He hired a young, unknown tech-head named Steve Jobs to help create the game. Jobs called his pal Steve Wozniak, and the pair set out to bring Breakout to the 2600. For various technical reasons, the Jobs/Wozniak Breakout was not the one Atari used in the Atari 2600.
The next year, Woz and Jobs released the first Apple computer. They were built by hand, with wooden cases, and without monitors or keyboards. A year later, the first Apple II rolled off the assembly line, and the modern computer age was born.
While the Apple II's "killer app" was a spreadsheet program aimed at businesses, home users and developers quickly turned to games, using the Apple II's then-high-end graphics and then-powerful processing to create and play games like Oregon Trail, Lode Runner, Wizardry and the early Ultima games.
"Next month is the 30th anniversary of the first dollar I earned in the game industry, which was testing Infocom's third game, Deadline, on an Apple II in my bedroom in Cambridge MA," said legendary Infocom game designer Steve Meretzky. "My Facebook newsfeed is full this evening, with friends saying that they wouldn't be in the game industry if it hadn't been for Steve Jobs and the Apple II. You can certainly add me to that roll call."
The Macintosh Revolution
Jobs' next big creation, the Apple Macintosh, took the tech world by storm in the early 1980s, but wasn't really about gaming. Even back in those days, serious gamers were using PCs. The PC's larger install base and DirectX technology was better suited for game developers, too, and inside Apple, there was concern that the combination of gaming and the Mac's revolutionary graphical interface would equate in the public's mind to the device being a toy. Most games that eventually became available on the Mac were ports of titles that were originally created for the PC, although there are some exceptions. Breathrough adventure title Myst was developed for the Macintosh originally, and ported to the PC.
Another important Mac-developed early game is Marathon, created by Bungie. Before moving on to the Halo franchise for Xbox, Bungie cut its FPS teeth designing the series for Macintosh before moving on to the Xbox title Halo. Marathon introduced dual-wielding and voice chat as well as other features that are ubiquitous in the FPS genre now. In fact, Halo was originally intended to be a Mac game--an RTS, actually-- but Microsoft ended up with the franchise, and the rest is gaming history.
The Pippin: Apple's Great Gaming Mistake
It's hard to imagine Jobs presiding over the launch of ill-fated Apple game console The Pippin. Apple's one foray into strict-gaming happened in the mid 1990s, after Jobs was fired from the company. Jobs went on to head Pixar, and Apple went on to create one of the worst-selling gaming consoles in history. If you need evidence of the influence of the CEO on a big company, take a look at Apple's "lost years" without Jobs.
The Pippin, a joint venture with Namco-Bandai, was a failure of huge proportions. Released in a crowded console marketplace--the N64, PlayStation and Saturn were all on shelves, not to mention widespread use of PCs—the Pippin retailed for $599 and was less powerful than its competition. It sold only 42,000 units and few games were ever released.
Modern Apple
Jobs returned to Apple in 1996, and spent the next half-decade or so undoing the damage that had been caused by poor decisions like the Pippin made in his absence. The release of the first iPod in 2001 ushered in the modern age of Apple, and while the device was never intended as a game machine, there were a limited number of games playable on the early device. In a nod to continuity, a Breakout clone called Brick was included on the device, originally as an Easter egg, but later as a menu item.
In 2006, the iTunes store began selling games for the iPod, offering nine games to supplement the meager offerings on the device. As the processing power of the iPhone and iPod grew, the possibilities for games grew too. The original suite of simple games has become literally million of titles, in all genres and styles, are available on the iPod Touch and the iPhone.
Jobs and company's takeover of the smart phone market may prove to be his biggest legacy to gaming. Millions of people bought an iPhone in order to talk and text their pals, but discovered a versatile and powerful portable game system. Many, no doubt, also discovered a love of gaming through their iPhones.
The iPad, too, with its powerful insides, easy-to-use interface and large screen, offers developers an all but unlimited platform for creating more and more complicated and deeper games. The most high profile series developed specifically for iOS are the Infinity Blade games, action-RPGs that rival anything on the market, for any system.
Mike Capps, head of developer Epic games, said this about Jobs: "Steve advised us to 'find what you love.' He found what he loved, and he changed our entire world doing it. His passion brought so many talented people together to focus on innovation, on quality, on usability. Steve's true legacy isn't in the products built so far, but in his lasting vision that guides Apple in bringing us the future."

MTA Discovers Goddamn Picky Millennial Riders Want Subways That Don't Break Down or Catch Fire
It's begun: the MTA has discovered millennials. They all live in Bushwick and Williamsburg, they can't afford cars, and they want to ride the subway all the dang time, even during what used to be off-peak hours. And why are their (our) expectations so sky-high? Because they (we) didn't live through the same terrifying, 1970s-era subway rides as our forbears, and have only glimpsed them through the hazy, romantic lens of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/ (Important anachronism alert: April appears to be getting her ass kicked by evil ninjas in the City Hall station, which isn't possible, since it was taken out of passenger use in 1945. HOLLYWOOD LIES.)
Returning clumsily to our main point: the pickiness of both millennial and baby boomer riders was all part of a new report submitted to the transit agency's finance committee Monday. The MTA is doing a "needs assessment" for the next 20 years, and both the Youngs and the Sort-of-Olds, it seems, have certain very special needs and expectations.
"You're not terribly impressed that your subway doesn't catch fire now," the MTA's chief spokesperson Adam Lisberg told the Times.. "Now your question is, 'Why don't I have a countdown clock and why don't I have Wi-Fi?'"
It would seem that everyone, no matter what their age, should insist their mode of transport not be engulfed in flames; maybe that's just our generational entitlement talking. In addition to non-flammability, the MTA report found that millennial riders are just entering the labor force (they are?), they're "tech-savvy," and they want 24/7 subway service, making it much harder to find time to do any maintenance work. (Personal observation suggests that the new maintenance window is "every weekend everywhere forever and ever.")

As for the boomers, they too have "growing transit dependence," as they leave the work force, but can't afford to leave the city or buy a damn car. And they, too, are using the subway at off-peak times more often, presumably because retirement has freed up a lot of extra time for late-night, inter-borough booty calls.
The solution to all of this (except the sudden, unwelcome image of your parents answering booty calls) is, among other things, to install "real-time information and displays in stations and on vehicles" and enable phone and Wi-Fi service underground. Also, they seem to think finishing that Second Avenue subway line might help. Perhaps it'll roll out in time for the millennials to use, right after we retire.

Stroebel, Aaron advance in 60th Assembly race
Voters in a May 3 special election to fill the vacant 60th Assembly district seat will choose between Republican Duey Stroebel and Democrat Rick Aaron.
Stroebel of the Town of Cedarburg received 27 % of votes cast in Tuesday's Republican primary.
Aaron of Bayside received 61% of votes cast in the Democratic primary.
The 60th district represents parts of Ozaukee and Washington counties.
Stroebel has been a Cedarburg School Board member since 2007. He is the owner of Terrace Realty in Cedarburg, a residential and commercial real estate development and management company. Gary Wickert, an attorney and Town of Cedarburg supervisor, finished just behind Stroebel with 26% of the vote.
Rick Aaron of Bayside gathered 61% of votes in the Democratic primary. He defeated challenger Perry Duman of Port Washington.
Aaron is activities director at the Sarah Chudnow Community senior living facility in Mequon.
A special election was scheduled after Gov. Scott Walker in January appointed incumbent Mark Gottlieb as state transportation secretary. The 60th district represents parts of Ozaukee and Washington counties.
