A recent survey on drug use in the United States shows two-and-a-half times more Americans currently abuse prescriptions drugs than the number of those using cocaine, heroin and hallucinogens combined.
In an effort to curb drug abuse, the Drug Enforcement Administration, state and local law enforcement teamed up on Saturday to take back unused unneeded, or expired prescription medication.
The drug dealing going Saturday in front of the State Capitol was highly encouraged.
No questions were being asked from those turning in their unwanted, unneeded prescription drugs. The goal was to simply get them out of the homes where they pose a dangerous problem.
"Once you have prescription drugs in your medicine cabinet, you don't know how many children can actually take that drug and divert it," said Robin Dinlocker, assistant special agent in charge with the DEA Honolulu office.
According to the Partnership for a Drug Free America, every day 2,500 teens nationwide are getting high off prescription drugs for the first time.
"Especially high school, grad school kids, prescription drugs are probably our number three drug: alcohol, marijuana then pharmaceuticals," said Keith Kamita,state Department of Public Safety's deputy director for law enforcement.
In Hawaii, Kamita said the most commonly abused drug is Vicadin or hydrocodone.
"Hydrocodone is going for $4 to $6 on the street. But with kids, they just trade," said Kamita. "They don't feel it's dangerous because dad or mom takes this for medicine. A doctor prescribes it so they're not afraid to take it."
Dinlocker said these kids are playing Russian roulette with their lives with games that can be found at what are called "Pharm Parties." "Once you get to the party, you come in, they have a bowl for you. You open up your prescription bottle and dump it in there. When the next person comes in, you an roll dice and if a certain number comes up, that's the number of pills you'll take," said Dinlocker.
In previous take-back days, the DEA collected more than 2,600-pounds of prescription drugs.
The drugs collected on Saturday will be accepted anonymously and incinerated at H-Power.
Right now, the state is using grant money to hold a "drug take-back day" every quarter.
The DEA is working on a way to have a drug drop off site available year round, but for now, will host the event every six months.

I've always been fascinated by secret societies and New York life, so a book combining the two was always going to be high on my radar. Tom Dolby has combined secrets, lies and high society life to form a book shrouded in mystery and intrigue.
Secret Society features a plethora of characters -- some that I liked, and some that I could easily leave. Phoebe, Patch (love this name) and Nick were my favourites, with their stories being the most interesting to follow. I'm not saying the other characters weren't good, they just didn't stick in my mind as much as these three did.
Another part of Secret Society that I really enjoyed was the society itself, complete with creepy founders and a compulsory ankh tattoo. The influence the society has on people's lives is shocking, not to mention scary. Imagine not being able to go anywhere or do anything without somebody else knowing: it would be a nightmare. There's always a price to pay in situations like this, and in this case, freedom and privacy quickly bit the dust. Patch probably dealt with it in the best way, as he defied warnings and faced the society head-on. Whether that will come back to haunt him is anyone's guess, but i'm betting his immediate future won't be plain sailing.
The book's slower pace occasionally frustrated me, though it was the perfect way to create suspense. It slowly but surely reached a satisfying conclusion, and successfully set the scene for a sequel. I'm looking forward to delving deeper into the dangerous world of the society, and just hope that any future installments will pick up the pace a bit.

Christopher Paul Curtis (born May 10, 1953)[1][2] is a writer of children's books. He is known for the Newbery Medal-winning Bud, Not Buddy and the critically acclaimed The Watsons Go to Birmingham – 1963.
Early life and education[edit]
Christopher Paul Curtis was born in Flint, Michigan, on May 10, 1953, to Dr. Herman Elmer Curtis, a chiropodist and factory worker/supervisor, and Leslie Jane Curtis, an educator. He has set many of his books in Flint.
Curtis is a product of the Flint school system.[clarification needed] He attended Dewey Elementary, Clark Elementary, Pierce Elementary (in the Academically Gifted Program), Whittier Junior High School, and McKinley Junior High School (where, in 1967, he became the first African-American student to be elected to student council in the school's 32-year history). He graduated from the school of Flint Southwestern High School in 1972 at the age of 19.[3] He graduated from the University of Michigan–Flint in 2000.[4]
The summer after graduating from high school, Curtis became a member of a Lansing-based theatrical/musical group called Suitcase Theater. The group was directed by Powell Lindsay and performed musical numbers and the works of Langston Hughes. The group performed in Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Canada, and the United States.
Work and writing career[edit]
Curtis spent 13 years after high school working on the assembly line of Flint's Fisher Body Plant #1.[3] His job entailed hanging car doors on Electra 225s and LeSabres. He later claimed his experience left him with an aversion to getting into large cars, particularly Buicks. After quitting Fisher Body, he took a series of low-paying jobs. He worked as a groundskeeper at Stonegate Manor housing cooperative in Flint, Flint campaign co-manager for United States senator Donald Riegle, customer service representative for Mich Con in Detroit, temporary worker for Manpower in Detroit, and warehouse clerk for Automated Data Processing in Allen Park, Michigan.
In 2009, he received a Doctor of Laws honoris causa from the University of Windsor. Curtis won the 2009 Anne V. Zarrow Award for Young Readers' Literature, which honors a "nationally acclaimed author who has made a significant contribution to the field of literature and young adults".
Curtis appeared on The Tavis Smiley Show on PBS on January 11, 2005. He appeared on The Today Show Book Club in 2007.

Amino Acid Loaded High Quality Whey!
In terms of the Macro-Nutrients, Protein is the most important of all. After water, which makes up 70% of your body, you are made of protein. It's especially important when you train. As you exercise your body needs more protein and amino acids (the building blocks of protein) therefore your requirement increases. WHEY PROTEIN is well-known as the highest protein source available. Whey protein is effective in promoting protein synthesis which in turn promotes new muscle growth.
100% Whey Protein by F3 Nutrition is 80% Whey Protein Concentrate, two scoops provide 25 grams of protein.
Key Features:
• A source of BCAAs (including leucine, known to be actively involved in the process of protein synthesis) to promote muscle growth and fat loss.
• Helps promote fat loss when combined with the correct diet and an exercise program.
• Promotes normal levels of glutathione for immune system health.
• Easily digested, low-sugar, low- lactose, high quality protein provides energy.
What is 100% Whey Protein?
Whey protein is isolated from whey, which is the liquid substance that is a cheese by-product. The whey goes through a process to take out fat and other non-protein materials. To make a powdered supplement, the whey protein is then concentrated.
When is the best time to take 100% Whey Protein?
There are actually several key times: first thing in the morning, 30 minutes before you train and immediately after you finish working out. Drinking a whey protein shake at these times promotes a positive nitrogen balance and anabolic state. Additionally, consuming a whey protein shake post workout promotes recovery by providing the raw materials needed to repair lean muscle tissue, activate protein synthesis and promote new growth. Additionally, you can ingest a shake anytime you are going more than 3 hours without eating.
Can 100% Whey Protein help me reduce body fat?
Whey Protein is an ideal choice to help with fat loss. It can replace poor quality calories and provide hunger control.
How many grams of Protein do I need per day?
Here is a chart of suggested protein intake:
Recreational athletes: 0.5-0.75 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day
Competitive athletes: 0.8-1.2 grams per pound of body weight per day
Teenage athletes: 0.8-1.3 grams per pound of body weight per day
Athletes building muscle mass: 1.3-2.0 grams per pound of body weight per day
So if you're trying to build muscle mass, and let's say you weigh 175 pounds, you would need 262.5 grams of protein per day. That seems high but it needs to be noted that amount should be divided over 6 meals. This means you're ingesting 43 grams per meal. To put that in perspective: one 4-ounce hamburger has 30 grams of protein, 6 ounces of tuna will have 40 grams, one ounce of cheddar cheese will have 7 grams, and one serving (2 scoops) of 100% Whey Protein contains 25 grams.
Should I use a blender to mix 100% Whey Protein powder?
A blender is not required. 100% Whey Protein mixes instantly and easily in a shaker cup or glass and spoon. You can use water, milk or the liquid of your choice. You can use a blender and incorporate quite a few great tasting recipes with your 100% Whey Protein.

This is just the most insane story of all time.
One Jenny McCarthy (not this Jenny McCarthy, but rather, the ex-wife of Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Cormac McCarthy) has been arrested on charges of aggravated assault following a "domestic dispute over space aliens," during which she allegedly "pointed a silver handgun at her boyfriend," the silver handgun being "a weapon she retrieved from her vagina." So reports The Smoking Gun.
Just stay with that sentence for a minute: "Space Aliens." "Handgun." From her vagina." "Cormac McCarthy." Best Mad Libs sequence ever? Oh no, that actually happened.
According to police reports, this Jenny McCarthy, a New Mexico painter and sculptor who creates "outsider art" (is it still outsider art if the artist herself says so?), got into a non-specific argument about space aliens. It quickly became heated, as conversations about space aliens tend to — though McCarthy's art appears to be heavily influenced by alien life, so the passion was, at least, not misplaced.
During the exchange, McCarthy went into her bedroom and emerged wearing lingerie. Her boyfriend probably thought, Oh, great! Reconciliation sex time? Sorry for being skeptical of your out-of-body experience, hon, until McCarthy pulled a Smith & Wesson out of her vagina, proceeded to "have inner course [sic] with the gun" while asking her boyfriend, "Who is crazy, you or me?"
Reports do not reveal if he responded to the question or not, but regardless, McCarthy pointed her gun/sex toy directly at his head.
Fearing for his life (but also probably a little impressed by the power of her pelvic-floor muscles), McCarthy's boyfriend grabbed the gun, dropped it in the toilet for safekeeping, realized the toilet wasn't safe enough, and so removed it from the toilet and threw it in the trash can. When cops showed up, they hauled McCarthy off to county jail. She posted bail the next day.
What a delightfully bizarre tale of love and violence and extraterrestrial passion in the New Mexico desert. Somewhere, Cormac McCarthy, who divorced Jenny in 2006, sits humbled because (Blood Meridian aside) there is no way he could have made up anything better than this.

The Boom Economy
Or, Scenes from Clerical Life
Publication Year: 2003
Dennis Bacchus is a man who has outlived himself. HIV-positive and prepared to die at any minute, he finds himself in the late 1990s blessed with life-giving drugs, supportive friends, a boom economy, and an era of never-ending celebration—and he doesn't know what to do with himself.
For ten years he has traveled and celebrated a curtailed life with the similarly infected Jimmy and, though Dennis was never that close to Jimmy, he decided to let the friendship run its course to the end. Now there's no end in sight. Stuck with leftover friendships, careers, and commitments, what can a man do but become a priest? The Boom Economy covers what was supposed to be the last decade of Dennis Bacchus' life, but turns out to be the first decade of the rest of it.
The Boom Economy is a novel about conversion—not just seroconversion or religious conversion, but all of the social, spiritual, and emotional problems of changing from one life to another. At once raucous and serious, pagan and saintly, it's a look at the way we live now. Again.

For somebody lukewarm about France, Jimmy ex-pressed surprise that Dennis was so eager to be back within two years of his last visit, when he'd met Isabelle on the train.

Zoe had called his home number, but it was for business; it turned into a social call after that.

From the window of his simple room in the Jesuit seminary, Dennis watched the stones that made up the building opposite become polka-dotted with intermittent rain.

The Pettus bats did their damage late in the game, as it was just a 1-1 game through four complete innings.
Woodsboro struck for two runs in the top of the fifth to gain a 3-1 lead, but it was short-lived as the Pettus boys erupted for four runs to regain the lead at 5-3 heading into the sixth frame.
Pettus starting pitcher Ryan Beck held the Woodsboro batters scoreless in the sixth. The Pettus boys struck for six big runs to take command and pull away from the visitors. Beck again shut out the Woodsboro boys in the seventh to preserve the 11-3 Pettus victory. Beck struck out 18 Woodsboro batters in the contest.
Anthony Mendoza was 1-4 as was Taylor Yeoman. Yeoman had one RBI on the night and scored once for the Eagles. Beck had one hit in four trips with one RBI and scored one run. Lane Kruger was 1 for 2, with one RBI on the night with two runs scored.

Hydromet: Instructions on how to use the DAYPLT Plotting Program
DAYPLT is a plotting routine that will allow the users to view daily historical data residing in the HYDROMET database. The program allows the users the opportunity to view a daily data for one day or a month's worth of data.
The Bureau of Reclamation HYDROMET database stores all of the data in a WATER YEAR format. A water year begins on October 1st of any year and ends on September 30th of the following year, example - Water year 1997 includes data from October 1, 1996 through September 30, 1997. Keep this in mind when requesting data.
In the Ending Month, Ending Day Number of days line, enter the appropriate time period you wish to display. This routine works in a backward mode. If you input the Ending Month as FEB, the Ending Day as the 6th and request 21 days of data, the plot provided will encompass the period Jan 17th through Feb 6th.
In the next set of columns, you can request a number of data items. They may be for one or reservoirs, or one or more data sets.
Under Station (1), input the reservoir code for the state on interest. Reservoir codes can be found at the bottom of the current reservoir data page or if you do not know the code, view a listing of all of the reservoir codes. TAB to the next box or move the CURSOR. Hitting the ENTER at this point will cause the program to malfunction and no data will be retrieved.
Under Parameter (1), input the parameter code of interest. View a listing of all available parameter codes for all reservoirs.
Repeat the preceding steps for the other five columns.
Once all the data has been placed into the appropriate columns, select the SUBMIT button and the data will be plotted.
The Vertical Plot Scale Limits provide an avenue to resize the plot. It is suggested that these values are not modified. The plot will automatically size to fit the data requested.

Why Israel spies on the US
Latest update: July 31st, 2012
No, it seems to me that Israeli spies are interested in questions like these:
- -What does the US know about Arab or Iranian capabilities or plans that it has not revealed?
- -What are US officials saying to Israel's enemies in private? What are they hearing from them?
- -What are the capabilities of weapons the US is selling to Israel's enemies? Is technical information available that could provide countermeasures?
- -What are US plans regarding its possible actions in the event of a conflict between Israel and Arab states, Iran or terrorist proxies?
- -What are agents of Israel's enemies up to in the US? Who are they working with?
Naturally, the US doesn't want Israel to know these things, as they constrain US actions and impinge on some conceptions of US interests. But from an Israeli point of view, it all represents information that is vital to Israel's survival. And if you think that, from an American point of view, Israel's continued existence is a Good Thing, you might wonder why Israel finds it necessary to spy on its great ally.Vic Rosenthal
About the Author: Vic Rosenthal created FresnoZionism.org to provide a forum for publishing and discussing issues about Israel and the Mideast conflict, especially where there is a local connection. Rosenthal believes that America's interests are best served by supporting the democratic state of Israel, the front line in the struggle between Western civilization and radical Islam. The viewpoint is not intended to be liberal or conservative — just pro-Israel.

Its common for allies to spy on each other.
As for Israel–they cannot always trust the USA–from the beginning the USA has held out one hand as a friend–with the other hand held behind the back with a knife–periodically reaching around to stab Israel in the back!
As for the Marxist pro Islamic Arab murderer Obama administration–they have made themselves clear–they are not a friend or supporter of Israel.

Ben & Jerry's ice cream co-founder Ben Cohen stationed himself on New York's Union Square for two hours on Tuesday to hand out hundreds of dollar bills on which he had printed messages denouncing corruption in Washington.
"In the United States, we don't have good environmental regulations or energy policies and it's all because the big corporations are paying politicians so that they don't approve laws to improve the situation," the activist businessman told Efe.
Dressed in a T-shirt on which was printed "The System Isn't Broken, It's Fixed," Cohen came to Union Square with his Amend-O-Matic StampMobile, a van towing a gigantic circus-like mechanism with which he prints assorted slogans on dollar bills that he then hands out to passersby.
Slogans printed on the bills include "Not to Be Used for Bribing Politicians" and "Stamp Money Out of Politics."
The vehicle attracted dozens of New Yorkers who, besides receiving the dollar bills Cohen had pre-printed with the contraption, also gave him their own bills to be stamped, although not without a substantial amount of incredulity at the unusual protest effort.
Cohen's goal is a constitutional amendment that overturns the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling, which spurred a massive increase in corporate spending on political campaigns.
The proposed amendment would declare that "money is not speech" and "corporations are not people." EFE

Ask any maintenance technician how they ended up in their current position and inevitably there will be a statement similar to: "I kind of fell into it". In other words, this job is not one that often lends itself to being a "destination" type career. How often is there a booth at a Career Fair advertising the apartment maintenance field?
Similar to the upkeep required on a swimming pool, a technician's knowledge requires constant tending. I'm not just talking about new hires either. Even after a maintenance technician is hired and working, often they are provided limited learning opportunities.
A frequent question asked in class is: how many have attended a vocational education program such as an electrical class or an HVAC school? The response is always very low, usually less than 5 percent per class. When this line of questioning is pursued, the answers can be disturbing.
The next question asked is: how did you learn what you know?
Here are some abbreviations of replies and their translations:
• OJT (On the Job Training): This means that the person learned the shortcut(s) that their predecessor used. Place that technician in a little different situation such as a different brand of appliance than they learned on. Can they still perform the troubleshooting and repair?
• IWS (I Watched Somebody): This type is less structured or organized than OTJ training where a technician just follows someone and watches the task completed. The tech is then expected to remember and retain each part of the task.
• HAC (Helped a Contractor): When a contractor is hired to do a job, a maintenance technician can learn that repair so that next time the task can be completed "in house".
• SIYT (Saw it on YouTube): I have actually seen training programs that use this one all the time. Instead of sending their technicians to any structured learning class, the property has their maintenance technicians look up problems on YouTube for solutions. (This one is potentially the most dangerous. Think using "Americas Funniest Home Videos" to teach your child how to hit a ball. OUCH!!!)
• LIUG (Looked it up on Google): Self-explanatory.
For hiring or promotional purposes, how can we determine a technician's knowledge in a meaningful way? Here are some possibilities:
• CAMT (Certificate for Apartment Technician) - This is currently the only ANSI approved credential for the entire apartmentiIndustry. It is based on skills standards that are evaluated on a regular basis as being relevant to the position in our industry. This means that passing this test requires knowledge and familiarity with the requirements to perform as a maintenance technician.
• Internal skills testing - It's fair to say that I have mixed feelings about this one. I do believe that this can be a valid method for determining technical knowledge depending on the test. The issue is that I've reviewed several of them and found wrong or misleading questions. If your property has a hiring test, look to see how many "opinion" type questions are on it. (Look for questions that start similar to: "What is the best way to…" or "What is most important when…"). Make sure that there is a verifiable source of the one correct answer for each question.
• Job Shadowing - This is a great way to find out the skill level of a candidate. Have the candidate shadow a technician performing repairs in a vacant apartment. (I'm not sure it's wise for a non-employee to go into an occupied apartment.) Alternatively, if you have a couple of appliances that are broken in the shop, have the candidate troubleshoot them. For promotional purposes, have the employee shadow the person currently doing that job as a part of the interview process.
• References - If the candidate is already part of the apartment industry, it's probable that one of your supplier sales representatives or contractors have met them or someone who knows them. This works for current employees ready for promotion as well as new hires.
The thought process posted here is one that raises questions for both maintenance technicians and those in a leadership role for a Maintenance Department:
For the Leader: How's the candidate pool for promotions and new hire's at your community looking? When was the last time that chemicals were added to your candidate pool (new knowledge added to your current maintenance staff)? What plans are in place to add water to the pool (how will you replace employees that are lost due to promotion)?
For the Current Maintenance Technician: Are you swimming in the pool and making progress - functioning at a good level, learning regularly? Treading water? Just barely keeping pace with what is required, and not expanding knowledge at all. Or drowning? (Glub… Glub…)
See you somewhere…

Nicole Scherzinger Opens Up About Future Of Pussycat Dolls
Nicole Scherzinger has reassured fans she is staying with the Pussycat Dolls and is "excited" about welcoming new members into the group after the recent departure of Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts.
The band is down to just two members, Scherzinger and Melody Thornton, and the lead doll's decision to join the cast of the upcoming Dancing With The Stars TV show has prompted fans to fear the end is near.
But the singer insists she's looking forward to a fresh line-up, and reveals she's already busy working on new material in the studio.
She tells MTV News, "We're going to have a new cast of Dolls. And I'm excited.
"Right now I've been in the studio working on music non-stop. We're going to have another Pussycat Dolls album for all of our fans out there but that's going to be late this year.
"I'm still Nicky Doll. And I'm just plowing away in the studio making music that I love."

Thieves Nab $300,000 In Equipment From 'Anchorman 2' Set
Thieves stole around $300,000 in copper wiring and computers from an Atlanta building that was renovated to be a set for the upcoming film Anchorman 2.
The thieves stripped the building of the costly wire and four Apple computers. A Paramount official heard an alarm when the thieves broke into the building, but he turned it off when he believed it to be rodents tripping it.
The area has been dealing with a rash of break-ins, and the building's owner hopes it doesn't affect Atlanta's recent attempts to become a go-to location for Hollywood filming.
A $5,000 reward has been offered to anyone with information on the heist. There has been no announcement on whether the theft will delay the film's release, currently set for this December.

Dual degree programs are structured so that students can pursue coursework at their home institution and the international university, and earn two degrees. These degrees are awarded simultaneously. Students must be admitted to both degree programs and fulfill the requirements of the two degrees. Most of these degrees are graduate degrees because ofthe flexibility of required coursework toward meeting the degree requirements; however, undergraduate dual degrees are being developed as well.

Ron Howard makes me a little nervous. I never know which Howard is going to be running the show. The sarcastic genius (Arrested Development), the observant dramatist (Frost/Nixon), the blockbuster king (Angels and Demons) or the cheesy family man (Splash). The latter two make me cringe, but the former get me excited to go to the movies.
The only frame of reference we have to go off on in terms of sports movies is Howards 2005 Cinderella Man, a family film about a depression-era boxer. I wanted a gritty film; Howard wanted heartwarming. I was afraid that Rush, which tells the true story of two Formula One rivals, would take the same high road.
I was wrong.
I read that early on in the production, Howard learned that there wasnt enough money to finance racing shots. The job of screenwriter Peter Morgan must have quickly shifted from adrenaline packed car scenes to a character study of the two men: the Austrian Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and the British James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth), who in 1976 erupted into a fierce battle for the Formula One title.
Lauda is a stern man, obsessed with his automobile in a serious way, he spends nearly all his time in his garage and lets his fiancé know that hes not really into showing affection and hell more than likely forget her birthday. Hunt is a ladies man vain and cocky. He also gets married, but for purely aesthetic purposes. Morgans script allows the two actors to deliver wonderful, rich performances uncommon in your average sports film. And a few spectacularly shot racing scenes serve as fantastic backdrops to the story, rather than a little character development taking the backseat to Fast and Furious-style car scenes.
The performances are wonderful. Bruhl, mostly known to American audiences for his work in Inglourious Basterds, is relentless as Lauda. He is fierce and concentrated; Bruhl breathes humanity rather than caricature into the performance. Hemsworth is such a powerful physical presence that it is simple to write him off as just a pretty face, but his performance is nuanced and full.
Dont miss Rush, not only one of the greatest racing films of recent memory, but definitely one of Howards most original feats.

Vladimir Putin has created Russia's first political prisoners of the new era of protests against his presidency. The jailing of Pussy Riot has handed the anti-Kremlin opposition, almost to their own disbelief, a powerful global symbol of everything they argue is wrong with Mr Putin's Russia. Their brightly coloured balaclavas have evolved from clownish headgear into a simple unifying emblem of defiance against the former KGB agent, understood everywhere.
This may become the group's most potent contribution to the opposition street protests that are set to resume with renewed vigour in the autumn. The movement is made up of disparate

Winning numbers: Burch and Braelinn elementary schools win math tourney
It doesn't take a math whiz to figure out this formula: take a three-student fourth-grade team from Robert J. Burch Elementary and a three-student fifth-grade team from Braelinn Elementary and what do you have? Answer: the winners of the 2012 Fayette County Elementary Math Tournament.
Fourth- and fifth-grade math whizzes from the county's 17 elementary schools competed in the annual Fayette County Elementary Math Tournament last week, proving they know how to crunch numbers.
The team of Jillian Blander, Zuzu Vidourek and Brandon Worrell (Ashley Kim, alternate) took Robert J. Burch Elementary to a first place victory in the fourth-grade competition.
Likewise, the Braelinn Elementary team of Ian Fertig, Yuna Shimizu and Dylan Yost (Brady Meyer, alternate) clinched first place in the fifth-grade contest.
Kedron Elementary swept second place honors in both the fourth- and fifth-grade competition. The winning teams were (fourth grade) Jennifer Deng, Yoosang Kim and Sam Wombough (Camille Bennett, alternate), and (fifth grade) Ian Buckalew, Hyosang Kim and Clay Lawhead (Anna Seville, alternate).
Third place finishes went to the Spring Hill Elementary fourth-grade team of Edward Huang, Nikolas Huebecker and Tobi Tega (Christina Whitehead, alternate), and the Oak Grove Elementary fifth-grade team of Ryan McBride, Abby McMichen and Zachery Utt (Ben Mrosek, alternate).
The top three teams each received a trophy to take back to their school to celebrate their achievement. In addition, as the county's fourth- and fifth-grade champions, Robert. J. Burch and Braelinn Elementary will have their school names added to the plaque of champions that is displayed in the math classroom at the LaFayette Educational Center.

Creating the Modern Stage:
Designs for Theater and Opera
May 22-August 16, 2009
The 20th century saw a renaissance in the art of the theater. Modern technology and materials allowed for innovative approaches to stage sets. New theories concerning the role of the actor and set in theatrical performances encouraged a radical departure from long-standing practices and the moribund literalism of the nineteenth-century stage. Imagination and vision were encouraged, allowing a vital and varied stagecraft to emerge throughout England, Europe, Russia, and America.
This extraordinary period of innovation in modern scenic design is the subject of a new exhibition at The Morgan Library & Museum entitled Creating the Modern Stage: Designs for Theater and Opera. The exhibition features over 50 drawings derived entirely from the Morgan's holdings, principally from the collection formed by the celebrated American set designer Donald Oenslager (1902-1975). Enriching these colorful drawings is related material including musical scores, rare books, and autograph manuscripts.
"This exhibition offers the visitor the opportunity to see a remarkable trove of designs for the stage that are rarely put on view at the Morgan," said William M. Griswold, the museum's director. "It is fascinating to see how experimentation in stagecraft in the twentieth century paralleled similar explorations in the other arts. The drawings are beautiful and imaginative visions of what the modern stage could be by artists willing to push boundaries and move beyond accepted conventions."
The exhibition is divided into four thematic sections — Origins of Modern Scenic Theory, Destroying Tradition, the Russian Avant-Garde, and Diversity of the American Stage — together emphasizing the international scope of advances in set design.
The exhibition opens with visionary drawings for the stage by Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966) as well as texts fundamental to the foundation of modern scenic theory by Craig and the Swiss stage designer Adolphe Appia (1862-1928). Appia spurred a move toward visual simplicity and a unity of aesthetic elements in set design and direction, in part through his 1899 book, Die Musik und die Inscenierung (Music and Set Design). Appia's innovations of modern stage design was essential to the work of Craig, whose Art of the Theatre (1905) set out principles for an imaginative and suggestive, rather than literal, approach to set design. These radical ideas—the "new stagecraft"—would gradually transform European theater through sporadic experimental productions and revolutionize theater design in the ensuing generations.
At the beginning of the 20th century, ideas about the new stagecraft spread through the Continent and into central and eastern Europe. A synthesis of the arts was elemental to several avant-garde movements, such as the Austrian Sezession and the German Jugendstil. Artists became more involved in the theater, which revitalized scenic design and resulted in new and daring productions throughout Europe's theatrical capitals.
Fostering such experiments were adventurous directors like Max Reinhardt, whose Deutsches Theater in Berlin was at the forefront of the technical innovation that characterized modern European stagecraft. Reinhardt's large-scale revolving stage, for example, allowed for a greater variety of settings and rapid changes between scenes that intensified the audience's engagement with the performance.
The break from aesthetic tradition is documented in dramatic designs by German Expressionists, including Ludwig Sievert and Emil Orlik. Sievert's design for a 1922 staging of Kokoschka and Hindemith's opera Mörder, Hoffnug der Frauen (Murderer, the Hope of Women) depicts a moment of confrontation between Man and Woman echoed in the angular and aggressive forms of the set. Even during and immediately following World War II when materials were scarce, Berlin designers' clever use of available resources continued to push the limits of convent. Dialogue, set, and movement were fused together for the totality of theater, achieving a potent combination of content and design apart from the traditional formalism.
The Moscow Art Theater, founded in 1899, represented the vanguard of innovation. The collaboration between producers and designers, many of whom were painters, yielded an exceptional standard of stagecraft. At the center of this phenomenon was Mir iskusstva (World of Art), a group that emerged in St. Petersburg during the late 1900s. Beyond founding a journal, members Alexandre Benois, Serge Diaghilev, and Léon Bakst designed and executed dance and theater productions in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Shortly thereafter, avant-garde artists Alexandra Exter, Natalia Goncharova, and Nikolai Pavlovich Akimov broke further from conventional set design, using as their guide abstract approaches influenced by Cubism and Constructivism. The lively history of Russian folk traditions also informed the aesthetic of their sets.
Bakst's drawing for one of Diaghilev's ballets, Les Orientales features a cascading arrangement of drapery, a hallmark of his designs that conveys the romantic tendencies of Mir iskusstva. Also included is Exter's Construction for a Tragedy, a design typical of her skeletal architectural constructions which emphasized purity of form and demonstrated an inventive approach to structures. Soaring black vertical frames and ascending diagonal ramps of bright orange create independent, yet interconnected, spaces that could accommodate a wide variety of performances.
On stages throughout the United States, the vaudeville tradition of the early years of the twentieth century gave rise to the genre of musical theater, a distinctly American art form. Actors were in demand for both stage and screen, and the Depression inspired socially conscious plays as well as comedies. American theater also benefited from an influx of European and Russian designers, who brought their experience to New York and other major theater centers in the United States.
A new American stagecraft originated largely in the work of Robert Edmond Jones (1887-1954), one of the principal designers responsible for its reinvigoration. He aimed to unify the elements of acting, lighting, and setting through his dramatic use of abstract forms and lyrical tonal effects. To disseminate these innovations, Jones, along with Lee Simonson, published texts on the subject, creating a major body of literature on theater history. The exhibition further chronicles modern developments in stage design through drawings by Claude Fayette Bragdon, Woodman Thompson, and Norman Bel Geddes; also included are designs for musical theater by Oliver Smith.
Eugene Berman is perhaps one of the best known New York stage designers of the 1940s and 1950s. Born in Russia, he fled during the revolution and worked in Paris before emigrating to America in 1940. As a set designer, he rejected the abstract aesthetic established by Appia and Craig in favor of more evocative, elegant, and richly colored settings, often on a vast scale and replete with ruins and mysterious light. Such practices can be seen in his designs for Amahl and the Night Visitors, a one-act opera commissioned by NBC television from the composer Gian Carlo Menotti in 1951.
Donald Oenslager designed the sets and lighting for Of Mice and Men in its original production, which opened at New York's Music Box Theater in November 1937 and ran for 207 performances. Steinbeck's novel, published earlier that year, presented Oenslager with the challenge of realizing on stage a narrative that was enjoying contemporary critical attention. Accompanying the drawing in the exhibition are tickets and programs related to the production as well as a carbon typescript belonging to Clare Luce, who played the lead female role. It is a true working copy: Luce annotated it throughout, including directions concerning her voice, eye movements, physical gestures, and the wording of her lines.
"Working on a sketch for a setting is probably the happiest and briefest part of the artist's work in the theater," wrote Donald Oenslager. As a young man, he began collecting drawings, rare books, and prints related to the theater dating from the 16th through the 20th centuries. His collection, built throughout his prolific career as a designer and professor at Yale University School of Drama, provides a comprehensive the history of stage design over the course of four centuries. Totaling approximately 1,600 sheets, the collection was presented to the Morgan by Oenslager's widow in 1982.
Creating the Modern Stage: Set Designs for Theater and Opera is organized by Jennifer Tonkovich, curator of drawings and prints, with the assistance of Elizabeth Nogrady, Moore Curatorial Fellow, The Morgan Library & Museum.

2001: A Closer Look
Dealers and integrators of all stripes are constantly looking for the next product, technology and solution that will drive sales, profits and customer traffic. In its annual "Five Technology Trends to Watch" report, the Consumer Electronics Association identified video delivery, advances in mobile broadband/4G, green technologies and apps as some areas to keep a close eye on during the next year. Here are four highlights from the report, which was written by CEA staff.
1. The Future of Video Distribution and Consumption
Before we explore the future of video distribution, we have to paint a picture of what the typical connected home will look like five short years from now: Large flat-panel HD displays (40 to 60 inches) will hang on the walls, medium ones (12 to 24 inches) will sit on tables and countertops, while 4- to 12-inch portable display devices will go wherever the user takes them.
These displays will be connected to a home router via dial-band Wi-Fi. Forget about stray cables and wires. There will be no dedicated set-top boxes and no physical media players, according to Deepak Joseph, CEA's director of technologies and standards. All phone, audio and data will be delivered as IP services via apps over a robust 50-100 Mbps connection. Those services (phone, A/V, data, social networking, etc.) can be accessed from all or one of your screens.
That scenario is similar to what many connected homes are close to achieving today. The key difference will be in the delivery of HD video. Consumers will relate more to individual programs, shows and content, rather than the aggregator/channels that deliver them, Joseph wrote. They will proactively discover, recommend, manage and view their programming/content of choice.
Most of that can be done today in varying degrees. But in 2016, consumers will do the same in a more out-of-the-box and seamless manner, Joseph wrote. The evolution of Ethernet-capable TVs and connected portable devices, combined with more innovative apps and widgets, will continue to drive the CE experience.
How does all of this impact retailers? They will have to get involved in the electronics distribution of content as physical media sales dry up, and they'll have to upsell their customer base as the video viewing transformation progresses.

One of the first world traveling jobs that springs to mind is travel writing jobs. Though it may be among the first to come to mind, it is a rather tough field to get into. Many people may think that all you have to do is take a trip and write about it, but it actually takes a fair amount of education and experience to get to the income level that you want to be at in this field. One of the drawbacks to travel writing is that it is largely a freelance business. Though that does not give you the stability that you may be looking for, it will give you the freedom and excitement of a freewheeling traveler. You will learn about new lands and cultures, and you may have the opportunity to travel to places that you might not otherwise be able to afford.
The best way to get started in travel writing is to build a work experience that is rooted in writing and research. You must be prepared at times to have to pay for some of your expenses to complete some jobs in the beginning. However, as you progress in the field you will find that you are compensated. Of course, one of the most-coveted travel writing jobs is one that includes writing for a high-profile newspaper or magazine. For this, you will want to get your foot in the door to the publication, perhaps even for writing for a different area in the beginning. After a while, your passion for travel and your tremendous work ethic are sure to get you noticed by the right people.
A lesser-known high-paying travel jobs is that of a traveling nurse. In this position, you will not only be able to travel the world, but you will also be able to make a positive impact on the places and people you are visiting. Traveling nurse positions can range from jobs that last for several weeks, but they can also develop into permanent positions. Typically, if you are only doing a few weeks' stint in a location, the company that you are working for will provide your housing. That is an amazing perk when you look at your overall income potential in this position. However, those who choose more permanent positions and find their own housing are typically awarded a fairly generous stipend to go toward their accommodations. Of course, to get into this field you must have the necessary education to be a certified nurse. However, if you do this, you will open yourself up to an incredibly fulfilling and financially beneficial world-traveling job.
Another one of the popular world traveling jobs is that of a travel agent. Travel agents get a lot of perks in their industry, and quite often, that means they are getting to travel quite a bit. Additionally, you can build your clientele so that you have repeat customers and therefore larger and more frequent commissions. But how do you become a travel agent? First and foremost, it is important to realize that to get into one of the larger travel agencies, which is where you want to be for a higher-paying position, may require you to have a bachelor's degree. From there you will have to take a six to twelve week course that certifies you to become a travel agent. You will also need to put your work in to make sure that you are as proficient on the computer and Internet as possible. Much of the travel industry has gone fairly high tech, so being proficient in maneuvering around the different Internet sites is quite essential to your success as a travel agent. Additionally you might want to look into trying to learn a different language or two. By doing this you open yourself up to international travel agent job opportunities. This not only allows you to explore the world more fully, but it makes you more desirable to your employer, which will directly impact your paycheck.
The travel industry is an exciting industry to be involved with, and some of the high-paying travel jobs can be at your fingertips. What you need to do to get these world traveling jobs it to take the time to ensure that you have all of the necessary education to succeed in your desired position; and then you need to go after it. If you do both of these things, you will soon be rewarded with a job that you love and a paycheck that you love even more.

April 5, 2010Fuel cards provide fleets with access to credit for a daily operating expense, cost savings at the pump, reimbursement or reward programs for qualified transactions, as well as insightful data to manage down fleet costs. But the benefits provided by fuel card companies are not interchangeable. This paper will review the questions you need to ask prior to deciding upon a fuel card company.
Thought Leadership
March 15, 2010The cost of marine fuel is frequently in the millions of dollars per lift. The time involved in locating and qualifying fuel suppliers, specifying orders, confirming or disputing transaction details, and processing payments represent additional administrative expense. This case study outlines how the U.S. Government identified specific fuel procurement issues and developed an e-procurement system that would both improve access to fuel and decrease marine fuel procurement costs.
February 26, 2010In a billing and payment program, the mystery of how to maximize B2B profitability is often a simple question of functionality. This paper addresses the common pitfalls of a consumer payment program that hinder commercial growth and goes on to identify value opportunities that can make B2B relationships more profitable.
November 15, 2009Today's national fleets are juggling a multitude of financial challenges. With average fleet operating margins of 2-4% in the United States, these financial variables ladder up to overwhelming business concerns for over-the-road trucking companies. A survey by the Kinetic Group of 300 fleets participating in aftermarket parts programs identifies the role billings and payments can play in managing these financial challenges for fleets.

Since the supermarket I use withdrew it's spinach and ricotta pasta sauce which my children loved I've been trying on and off to make my own - without success :-(. Has anyone tried this recipe using spinach instead of watercress? Or, if you've got and other suggestions to help, please post, thanks :-)
Hi there, thanks for getting in touch. That's a really good idea - this recipe would work just as well with spinach instead of the watercress. We'd advise wilting it first before chopping it. Make sure to squeeze out the water once it's cooked as well. Let us know how you get on!

Almost 20 years ago Guinness started The Great Guinness Toast, nicknamed
St. Practice Day, where on the third Friday of February Guinness
drinkers gather at pubs to raise a toast to set a Guinness Book of World
Records for the largest simultaneous toast. Each year a new record has
been set. The St. Practice Day concept has expanded beyond what Guinness
originally intended with clubs putting their own spin on it.
Ground Zero Nightclub in Traverse City will launch its first-ever St.
Practice Day on Friday March 4 with three bands, The Young Dubliners,
Shrub and 12-Year Reunion. Tickets are only $10 in advance and doors open
at 8 p.m.
We have decided to start a new tradition and get the celebration going
early, said owner Doug Street. The Young Dubliners are a favorite in
the Irish rock community and we had them here a few years for a halfway
to St. Patricks Day Party and the place was packed. Shrub is a
reggae-infused rock band from Ohio that is getting ready to go national
and has been getting a lot of press. Toss in 12-Year Reunion and this is
going to be a great night of music.
Columbus, Ohio-based Shrub formed a little over a year ago when friends
Jay Shrub (vocalist) and guitarist and effects artist Dillinger got
together to write some songs. When the duo was ready to go into the studio
to record, they went looking for session musicians and found bassist Jeff
T-Farms on keys and sax and D$ on drums and the band was formed.
We all hit it off when we were in the studio, said Shrub. So Dillinger
and I asked them if they wanted to be part of the band and it was obvious
we were on the same page.
Shrub released their EP Señorita last spring and their fusion of rap,
reggae, and rock brought them instant recognition with one particular
publication right away.
Yeah High Times selected us as one of the top unsigned bands in the
country, said Shrub. We are good with that, certainly all of us in the
band are proponents of legalizing marijuana.
Here is what High Times wrote about Shrub:
The Midwest has long been a hotbed for successful rap artists but Shrubs
debut EP, Señorita, is quickly setting this band apart from the pack.
The EP features guest appearances by DJ Rasta Root (DJ for Phife Dawg and
Chip Fu of the Fu-Schnickens), Lyrical (artist/producer for Myrical
Records), and Jenny Flory (singer/songwriter from the Wonder Twin
Powers)and Opie Ortiz (from the Long Beach Dub Allstars) created the
album artwork for Señorita. Plus the CD was mastered by the legendary
Brian Big Bass Gardner (Michael Jackson, Dr. Dre, Beck, Nine Inch Nails,
Beastie Boys, Bob Marley, Eminem).
Shrub often garners comparison to such bands as Sublime, Cypress Hill, The
Dirty Heads, Atmosphere, Kottonmouth Kings, and G. Love. Not because they
sound like any of them, but rather, fans of those bands will quickly
figure out that Shrub draws their musical inspiration from these and other
We maintain an innately unique and raw sound that is all our own, said
Shrub. We are all college music school graduates that have drawn
inspiration various genres. So we dont sound like Sublime, but we
certainly have been inspired by them.
Shrub is currently recording in California for a new release of songs due
out later this year. The new EP will feature special guests C-Money from
Slightly Stoopid and Kimberly Freeman from One-Eyed Doll. They are also
working with Dubmatix the 2010 JUNO Award Winner for Best Reggae
Young Dubliners
Irish rockers The Young Dubliners have been performing for over 20 years
together and first came to Traverse City in 1996 and have performed a half
dozen times in the region since, including last fall. While they are not
so young anymore the group continues to pack venues and their longevity
has even surprised them a little.
Had I known then that wed have such longevity and would still be out
there doing 180 to 250 shows a year I probably would have come up with a
different name, said Keith Roberts lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist.
When people say were no longer so young, I reply, well, the Fine Young
Cannibals never ate anyone. Original band member Paul OToole and I were
two young lads from Dublin who had moved to L.A., so the name was given to
us by early fans and it made sense at the time. The cool thing is, weve
stayed young at heart, doing our best to grow into the name rather than
let the name grow out of us.
The Young Dubliners will definitely get everyone into the St. Patricks
Day spirit as they headline the night. Their hard-driving Celtic infused
songs get crowds up and dancing.

go back 12 years when Bishop and Deike were playing together in high
school. They cover a variety of classic to modern rock bands as well as

released early this spring.
