Date: May 2012
My former principal at West Sedona School, Greg Kirkham, has a favorite acronym: "TEAM=Together Everyone Achieves More." I found this idea put to the test when the Rotary Club of Sedona recently launched a literacy program called Imagination Library, which was founded by Dolly Parton. Prior to the launch date, Rotary members invited educators, librarians and business people to learn more about the program and to plan for its success.
What better place to register children than Sedona Public Library (SPL) and Sedona Public Library in the Village (SPL-V)? It was fun to observe the Rotarians in action and to see children excited about reading. This event also brought children and new patrons to the library. Sponsored by the Dollywood Foundation and the Rotary Club of Sedona, Imagination Library is free for preschool children (from birth until their fifth birthday) who reside within the Sedona postal code area (86336, 86339, 86340, 86341 and 86351.)
There are two ways to register: pick up a registration form at SPL or SPL-V or register online at www.sedonarotary.org. Follow the link to Imagination Library. Thanks to teamwork and the efforts of many individuals, Imagination Library is off to a great start. Imagine what we can accomplish by working together!
The Rotating Artists Program at SPL-V has met with huge success. The next show entitled "Painting in Pairs" featuring the art work of Jill Williams, begins Tuesday, May 22. Jill's work includes accent art painted on the rough side of Hardie Board. An artist's reception for Jill Williams will be Wednesday, May 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. at SPL-V.
If you're interested in learning more about Carl T. Hayden (1877-1972), Arizona's first representative in the U.S. Congress, attend the living history presentation by Larry Edmonds on Wednesday, May 23. The program begins at 1:30 p.m. at Sedona Winds, 405 Jacks Canyon Road. This presentation is sponsored by the Arizona Humanities Council, the Sedona Public Library and the Sedona Friends of the Library and is free and open to the public. Donations are always welcome. You may also pick up your loaner copy of "Vanished Arizona" by Martha Summerhayes to prepare for the upcoming community book discussion on Monday, June 25.
Mark your calendar for the Village book sale June 21 through June 24 at the VOC Fire Station. SPL-V is currently accepting donations of books, audio books, DVDs and music CDs for the sale. We ask that your donations be in good condition. Due to limited storage space, please call SPL-V before you bring your donations to the library. We appreciate your bringing donations during business hours. Please do not leave donations outside or put them in the book drops. If you would like to volunteer at the Village book sale, please call Cheryl Yeatts at 928.284.1603 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sedona Public Library in the Village is at 7000 Highway 179, Suite C-102, in the courtyard of Tequa Plaza. Library hours are 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The library is closed Sunday and Monday.
When the library is closed, you may return library materials to the book drops in the parking lot facing Highway 179. If you have questions, please call Cheryl Yeatts, SPL-V manager, at 928.284.1603 or email email@example.com. Thank you for your continuing support of library services in the Village of Oak Creek.
The Sedona Public Library is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, supported by donations and grants. Your tax deductible donation may be sent to: Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona, AZ 86336.
Library News appears each Friday in the Red Rock News and is also presented on: Gateway to Sedona and Sedona Biz.
Cheryl Yeatts is Manager of the Sedona Public Library in the Village.

Leticia, Julius Seeking Homes
My name is Leticia and I'm a beautiful 6 year old calico. My owner gave me to someone who eventually moved and left me behind. A neighbor got very upset and started feeding me until they could find a place to take me. Thank goodness Kitty Connection is able to help me find a home. I am extremely friendly and lovable. I enjoy having my long coat brushed. I get along with other cats and hope it won't be long before I have a home of my own.
My name is Julius and I am a 2 year old, swirled tabby boy. I was left behind by my owners when they moved away! I thought I was a member of a furever home and am now a little scared because of all of these changes. I am a big boy with huge paws; I actually have double paws!!! and I can grab toys tighter than any other cats with normal paws…the better to play tug-of-war with you! I am super sweet and adorable, and am looking forward to having a new home…maybe with you!

19th Dynasty
Nanefer-ka-ptah was the son of Merneptah and was made famous for magical Egyptian stories. He is said to have found the magical books of the god Thoth. He then made a copy of the book, washed it away with beer and then drank the beer. He thought that this would have allowed him to digest all of the printed material as a result. He was buried at Coptos.

JSC wants more black female judges
More women and black candidates should apply to become judges so that the judiciary can reflect South Africa's racial and gender composition, the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) said on Wednesday.
Releasing the names of the three women and eight men it had recommended to President Jacob Zuma for appointment as judges, the JSC reiterated that this was a concern.
"This concern is illustrated by the fact that of the 31 candidates that were shortlisted for the vacant positions, only nine were women," the JSC said in a statement.
"Of the nine women interviewed by the JSC, there are only three women recommended to the president for appointment."
The JSC said the Constitution required it to give consideration to the judiciary's need to reflect broadly the racial and gender composition of South Africa when making judicial appointments.
"... [M]ore women and black candidates should make themselves available for these positions," it said.
Meanwhile, former SA Human Rights Commission head Jody Kollapen was among those recommended for appointment as a judge in the high courts in Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Kollapen already works as an acting judge and if Zuma endorses the JSC's recommendation, the position will become permanent.
His name was on a list of recommendations the JSC forwarded to Zuma following interviews in Cape Town earlier in April for vacancies in the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA), Competition Appeal Court, Electoral Court and the various divisions of the high court.
The recommendations were: Judge MJD Wallis for the SCA, with no recommendation for the second vacancy; Judge D H Zondi for one position for Judge in the Competition Appeal Court; and advocate MM Mthembu for the Electoral Court with no recommendation for the second vacancy.
Recommendations for two of three positions for judges in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court were made for Acting Judge YT Mbatha and advocate JA Ploos Van Amstel SC, with no recommendation for the third vacancy.
In the Northern Cape, there was one position for a judge of the Northern Cape High Court and Acting Judge MV Phatshoane was recommended.
In Gauteng there were six positions for judges in the high courts in Pretoria and Johannesburg.
Besides Kollapen, advocate JW Louw SC, Mr ND Tshabalala and advocate SE Weiner SC were recommended.
The JSC was unable to recommend candidates for the other two vacancies.
In the Western Cape, there was a recommendation for only one of three vacanices for the High Court -- Acting Judge RCA Henney.
In its statement, the JSC statement said Chief Justice and JSC chairman Sandile Ngcobo was satisfied with the professionalism and dedication displayed by the JSC commissioners in dealing with the interviews.

Huh? Ian is one of my favorite players and I had no idea he was Puerto Rican.
Well, according to [PR-Inside.com], he has Puerto Rican ancestry on his dad's side. This just goes to show you how the WBC is quickly becoming a joke. Come up with a legitimate way to determine which team players have to play on.
I mean, [A-Rod played for the U.S. in the first WBC and will play for the Dominican in this edition]. How does that work? Well:
The WBC rules state that a player can elect the team of his birth country or another team if he has ancestors from that country.
That's just dumb.
I do think it is a good thing for Ian, though–Snell will probably be one of the top pitchers on that squad and will face quality competition before the season, so he should be well-prepared to pitch for the Pirates.
No other Pirates were supposed to be part of the 2nd WBC, with the possible exceptions of the South African dude we signed a few months ago and Canadian Dave Davidson. Ramon Vazquez will probably participate on the Puerto Rico team as well.
One other quick note: Raul Chavez is not coming back–[he signed with the Blue Jays].

Good brush, bad design of the cap
By Michele
from BC
Like other reviewers, the brush needs a serious improvement, as the cap does not stay on well. Also, would like both ends to retract. Hopefully these reviews are constructive criticism, and IT cosmetics will improve on the design of the brush... excellent quality of the bristles of the brush though. IT cosmetics is an excellent line, with 99% of their brushes are excellent quality. Just the design on this needs improvement.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

applies nicely
By Skin Care Junkie
from NORTH YORK
I was pleased to receive this brush as a bonus with concealer. After years of applying the concealer with my fingers, I find the result is much better with using this brush! I can use less product, it goes on more smoothly and imperceptibly under the eyes. I agree that this brush is not perfect, as I do not use the retractable end. I am happy to have it and it results in a better make-uo application for me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Useless brush!
By Beauty
Must agree with everyone that this brush is seriously flawed! The caps don't stay on and the retractable end doesn't stay "retractable" it keeps falling back into its "housing unit"! I can't even use the retractable side because it just doesn't stay up. Also as others have noted, why wasn't the other end retractable? That is, a WORKING RETRACTALE? Trying to put the cap back on only damages the brush and the brush is splaying which renders it useless as well. This brush needs to be discontinued and made right. Other than that, I absolutely LOVE, It Cosmetics, and I am a loyal user of many products in this Exceptional line!!
By KATHI
from Alberta
I'd give this 0 stars if I could, so glad it came in a showstopper, I would never purchase this brush for all the same reasons that many others have already expressed....lids are too loose and fall off, each end should be marked with which brush is hiding under the cap that keeps falling off, etc, etc! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS BRUSH.

Big Disappointment
By Mustang Girl
from Niagara Falls
This brush fell apart after using it twice. It came apart on both ends. It came in a showstopper a while ago. If I had purchased it on it's own it would have been send back immediately. I don't recommend buying it.
Another use for this brush
By Glitter214
from London, Ontario
I found this brush better for eye shadow and lipstick application. The softer brush applies my eye shadow perfectly...without stretching my lids..lol. The firmer brush applies my lipstick or glass with ease. I prefer applying the concealer with my fingertips, as it works better when used with the heat of your fingers...I rub it on my wrist and let it warm up and then apply it. So...if you don't like using for concealer...use for eyeshadow and lipstick application! LOVE their brushes!!
Definitely my least favorite brush.
By Sheryl
from Oshawa, ON
I love IT Cosmetics and I love the brushes but this brush definitely missed the mark. As many of the other reviewers have stated, the brushes themselves are great but the design is flawed. The retractable end does not work and the caps keep falling off. I would not buy this brush on its own, but it will not deter me from purchasing more products from IT Cosmetics in the future.
Love IT Cosmetics
By Loyal Shopper
from St Catharines Ontario
I love IT Cosmetics and brushes but I have to agree with other reviewers about this brush, beautiful brushes but the one cap continually falls off and the other has the bristle issue. This item alone will not effect my opinions of this line or their brushes, sometimes the inperfections just need to be tweaked a bit. I will most certainly continue to recommend IT Cosmetics to my friends and family since they are a wonderful line. Thank you Jamie for your great products and the Shopping Channel for bringing them to us.
not what it should be
By Vickie
I also recieved this brush in the showstopper and happy not to have purchased it separately. Why you did not make both ends retractable is hard to understand. Trying to get the bristles back into the one end without damaging them makes is very annoying. I think you need to make this right and for everyone who has this brush either purchased it individually or in the recent show stopper-one with both ends retractable and then we will have a totally usuable product
could improve if both ends retractable
By Madre
from Kitchener
Although the brush works great it's not my go to brush because of the bristles not fitting in the cap easily. Please make it retractable at both ends. Every other brush I have from It Cosmetics is amazing!

The Pittsburgh Steelers won 24-20 over the New York Giants, and the comeback victory was fitting in that it signified the Black and Gold's apparent rally from a shaky start in 2012.
After a slow, uncertain beginning that included two fourth quarter collapses against non-quality opponents, the Men of Steel have now earned their first winning record of the year thanks to a three-game winning streak. Consecutive successes over NFC East foes have infused optimism in Steeltown.
Frankly, if the Steelers finish atop the NFL for a seventh time this February, few will debate that the team's rally against Big Blue was a "Big Boost," making Week 10 the potential cornerstone Sunday.
Meanwhile, while communities in New York and New Jersey continue to pick up the pieces in an effort to carry on—both figuratively and literally—the Steel City is looking forward to a familiar (and very purple) foe in the coming weeks with hopes of a division championship still intact.
Before moving ahead to a pivotal Monday Night Football homestand, let's reflect on the momentous Pittsburgh victory at MetLife Stadium.

The key to a successful franchise lies in building through the draft. Teams like the Patriots, Packers, Giants, Ravens and any other perennial playoff contender establish quality depth and talent through careful and considered draft decisions. Unfortunately for the Redskins, that idea was forgotten during the Vinny Cerrato era in favor of a system that valued big-name free agent and trade acquisitions like Jason Taylor at the expense of draft picks.
That trend appears to have come to an end during the Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen regime.
Already the two have made significant strides in overturning the roster through the draft process, allotting 12 picks in last year's draft. By putting a premium on acquiring picks rather than trading them away for aging stars (Donovan McNabb being the exception), the two were able to bring plenty of talent into camp each year, even with the compensation given up in the Robert Griffin III trade.
But with most things, quality is more important than quantity. It is one thing to acquire multiple picks; it's entirely different to put them to good use.
Luckily, the Washington front office has made good use of their draft picks, even hitting on all 12 of last year's picks to find players that would contribute on the field at some point during the year. Shanahan prides himself in finding late-round running back prospects which he accomplished last year with Roy Helu and Evan Royster. While there are still plenty of holes on the Redskins roster, recent drafts should have fans feeling optimistic for the first time in years.
Time will tell how the three drafts under Shanahan will pan out, but for now, we can take a look at some possible breakout players from this year's draft who could make an immediate impact this season.

Child advocacy group Parents Jury calls for junk food ads to be screened after 9pm
- From: The Courier-Mail

UNHEALTHY food and drink advertisements should be banned from television screens until after 9pm, a children's advocacy group says.
"Year after year we see the same usual suspects ignoring parents' concerns and peddling their junk-food products to children, using highly influential marketing campaigns backed with massive budgets," The Parents Jury manager Karen Sims said.
The group is an online forum launched in 2004, supported by the Cancer Council and Diabetes Australia, that helps parents advocate improved children's food and physical activity environments.
As well as a ban on unhealthy food and drink TV advertisements, they called for government restrictions on other unhealthy food marketing aimed at children, including "internet and email marketing, in-store and on-pack promotions that target children using cartoon and celebrity endorsement, giveaways and competitions."
The organisation last night held its 6th annual Fame & Shame Awards, denouncing companies who market unhealthy food to children.
For the fourth year running, Kellogg's was judged by people voting in the awards to be among the main offenders.
The food company's campaign for LCMs snack bars was the winner of the Pester Power category. The product's campaign conveyed to children that having an LCMs bar in their lunchbox would make them popular in the playground, The Parents Jury said.
Kellogg's also got a rap over the knuckles for their Nutri-Grain ads, which earned the Smoke and Mirrors Award for promoting the sugary cereal as being good for young boys who want to become iron men. Nutri-Grain has 9g of sugar per cup of cereal, is high in sodium and low in fibre.
Ms Sims said the food industry was patting itself on the back for introducing some vague restrictions on how it will advertise junk food to children, but there were still a "huge" number of ads for junk food during the shows that children watch.
She said the simple solution was to restrict ads for unhealthy food on TV.
A Kellogg's spokesman said they were "at a loss" as to why The Parents Jury gave them the awards.
"The ads are not targeted at children; they are aired at times when the majority of shows are aimed at mums," the spokesman said.
"They never appear in children's times."
Kellogg's said their labelling was transparent and complied with all the industry regulations and self-regulations.
"We put the nutritional information on the front of the pack so it makes it easy for mums to see."

Fama-French Portfolios and Factors
Description: The Fama-French Three Factor Model provides a useful tool for understanding portfolio performance, measuring the impact of active management, portfolio construction and estimating future returns.
The Fama-French Portfolios are constructed from the intersections of two portfolios formed on size, as measured by market equity (ME), and three portfolios using the ratio of book equity to market equity (BE/ME) as a proxy for value. Returns from these portfolios are used to construct the Fama-French Factors, which capture a statistically significant fraction of the variation in stock returns. The Pastor-Stambaugh Liquidity series includes 'non-traded' and 'traded' liquidity factors, with the latter series derived from dividing common stocks (in the CRSP monthly stocks file data) into 10 groups based on each stock's sensitivity to the 'non-traded' liquidity innovation factor. The Sadka Liquidity measures are non-traded, market-wide, undiversifiable risk factors. Price impact is separated into permanent (variable) and transitory (fixed) price effects.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(94)
Remember Ehrgeiz? I do. It's been a long, long time since Square Enix decided to take their Final Fantasy characters and throw them into an arena, but with this August's release of Dissidia: Final Fantasy, it's happening again. But whereas Ehrgeiz was a mix of characters from Final Fantasy VII (some of which may as well have been straight-up Tekken rip-offs) mixed with boring newcomers, Dissidia: Final Fantasy pulls the best good, bad, and unknown from old Final Fantasy games.
If you've ever wondered what Super Smash Bros. would be feel like in an open, 3D playing field, Dissidia: Final Fantasy has what you're looking for. Though the Dissidia: Final Fantasy team told me Nintendo's popular fighter wasn't an influence on their game -- though they do admit to being fans -- it only takes a round with Dissidia: Final Fantasy to feel the similarities, even if it wasn't intentional. Dissidia: Final Fantasy is fast, flashy, and highly encourages button-mashing.
It does share something in common with Super Smash Bros., however -- if you aren't familiar with the Final Fantasy series from start to finish, there's an issue. If you haven't played a Final Fantasy game before Final Fantasy VII, there's several characters in Dissidia: Final Fantasy that may fly over your head. Square Enix has pulled heroes and villains from almost every major sequel in the series.
Personally, I started playing Final Fantasy with Final Fantasy III (also known as Final Fantasy VI in Japan), which allowed me to recognized Kefka -- but anyone from a previous game is a complete mystery to me. When asked whether this could prove an issue for a game largely built on fan nostalgia, the creators told me it's being looked at as an opportunity for Final Fantasy newcomers to become knowledgeable about previous Final Fantasy heroes and villains -- and maybe play their games, too.
Beyond the characters, however, Square Enix told me that changes have been made to Dissidia: Final Fantasy to accommodate American gamers. The RPG elements powering Dissidia: Final Fantasy were implemented to appease Japanese consumers, while additional, action-oriented modes have been added to give American gamers more to do, whom Square Enix views as looking for more action.
One such American gamer is, well, me. Not knowing many of the earlier Final Fantasy characters, I immediately gravitated toward Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII. Several rounds later, full of mashing on butons and wondering what might happen, Dissidia: Final Fantasy left me with a mouth full of fan service. I wasn't quite sure what actually happened during my 10 minutes with Dissidia: Final Fantasy, but the game tossing up "cross slash" on the screen during a special move evoked a certain gasp from me -- and I guess that's the whole point.
Hardcore Final Fantasy gamers, ones who can recall the good guys and bad guys from day one, are going to enjoy Dissidia: Final Fantasy the most. For the rest of us, it's shaping up to be a solid button-mash with some memorable characters.

Unilateral proposal
Isolating Palestine
Jun 13, 2006 by James M. Wall
Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert traveled to Washington in late May to tell President Bush about his plans for Israel's future. There is no indication that those plans offer a viable solution to the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories caused by the cutoff of funds to the Hamas government. Olmert blames Hamas for the crisis. Former president Jimmy Carter disagrees. In a column in the International Herald Tribune (May 7), Carter wrote:

As we hit the quarter mark of the season, fantasy owners are forced to face reality, as far as what to do with struggling players.
At this point, legitimate panic is in order for a player like Ben Roethlisberger, who is basically getting zero time to operate in the pocket. As a result, the once promising QB may be matchup dependant at best moving forward, with swarming pass rushes making his starts a living nightmare for fantasy owners.
Similarly, running back depth charts are getting shaken up across the league, in places like Washington and New England, and guys who once had close to zero value are emerging as possible weekly starts.
All in all, Week 4 isn't shaping out to be the strongest as far as waiver wire options are concerned. Many of the year's early breakout surprises (James Starks, Eric Decker, Denarius Moore) have already been exposed and owned, forming a bit of a lull in the free agency market.
Having said that, there's always a handful or so of valuable waiver gems, on a week-to-week basis. The following five guys seem to be the best available in a majority of leagues.

PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills receiver David Nelson is scheduled to start running on his own to test his strained right knee for the first time since getting hurt last weekend.
Nelson said he plans to work out on his own Saturday and also during the Bills' day off Sunday. If all goes well, he expects to return to practice Monday.
The Bills have only two full practices scheduled next week before opening their preseason at home Thursday against Washington.
Nelson has been out since July 28, three days into training camp. He was pushed down during a team drill and had defensive end Mario Williams roll up on his right leg.
The third-year player finished second on the Bills with 61 catches for 658 yards last season. He scored five touchdowns.

Cider and the Holidays
Growing up I always associated the holidays with many things apple. We'd make apple pie, or hot spiced apple juice, apple crisp, or if we were lucky we'd find some fresh pressed apple juice. I think the association with apples and the holidays goes all the way back to the early settlers, which would make sense. While I still eat more apples during the holidays than I suppose I do during other times of the year, my introduction to hard cider has changed my relationship with the apple during the holidays. Today I look to the fall harvest as an opportunity to make the year's best cider, cider from apples that have just been picked, as opposed to the apples that have been stored through the winter. There is something special about those fall apples, they impart additional flavors that the same apples seem to lose over time as their stored. That's not to say that the stored apples won't produce great cider, it's just the fresh picked fall apples have something extra. So cheers to the holiday season, and the fall apples!

Comment Re:nvidia/ATI should keep their new stuff propriet (Score 1) 309
You haven't paid attention lately then. Graphics cards and SSDs are the few computer components where lots of innovation still happen and where there still is need for, and room for, improvements. They have long been held back by the 1920x1080@60Hz plateau of affordable display panels and the bandwidth limits of HDMI/DVI/DP interfaces but now with the 4K panel boom, FreeSync/G-Sync and DisplayPort 1.3, things are moving again because now once again the graphics card has become the bottleneck. Not even tripple SLI of the very expensive Titan X is enough to run the latest AAA games at 3840x2160@120Hz with all settings at max. You are correct that the past half decade has been fairly boring in this area though, even though some great things have been brewing during this time (G/FreeSync, Mantle/Vulcan, HBM, etc).

misodoctakleidist : The piano student who just hates to practice. How
many millions of misodoctakleidists have suffered from their key
aversions? How many, hard-pedaled by parents into learning the piano,
have felt that sitting down to practice octaves and études is like pulling a
chair up to a meal of cold dominoes and graph paper? Practice makes
perfect, and makes misodoctakleidists, too.

and makes misodoctakleidists, too
Well, I'm glad I've finally got a title for all that non-effort I put into piano practice when I was a kid.
[story]I always wanted to be able to play the piano, the same as a lady named Heather who played piano in our church. My parents sent me to lessons before school twice a week (at age 6) with a Catholic Nun who was 90 years old if she was a day. Her marriage to Jesus/the Church was obviously not a very happy one, and she didn't exactly inspire joy in me - or any of her other students for that matter. She held a steel ruler over my hands, and if they slipped into a "lazy" position, she would hit my knuckles with the ruler. Ouch!
Practising was a different matter... we didn't have a piano at home, so I had to practice in the church hall. My older brother (2 yrs older) would take me over to the hall while it was still daylight and leave me there, so that when my practice time was up it would be dark, and in a big spooky church hall, it wasn't a pleasant experience. Let alone walking home past the next door neighbours greyhounds (who had already eaten one of our cats).
Quite the saga, but I wish I'd managed to continue... the lack of desire to practice made my parents decide that it wasn't worth the money. [/story]
Thanks indulging me while I story told.

I know the Brits take a lot of ribbing about their food, but I don't get it. There's a pub here in Richmond that serves food the Brits like: steak and kidney pie, roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, shepherd's pie made with ground lamb, and so on. I think that every dish I've ever tried there has been most excellent--lots of flavor! Gosh, I could go for Yorkshire pudding several times a week and I'm not much of a pastry lover. And the best trifle I've ever had was the trifle out of that pub. Oh, and the mixed grill! Wow! Terrific.
So, I want to go on record saying that I have greatly enjoyed every single British dish that came out of the pub here in Richmond, Virginia, USA.
Brits regards,

Glad you like the food WW. Of course the Brits will mainly be round the corner eating the national dish - chicken tikka masala in the curry house (I won't carry on for fear of reprisals but we've been here before ).

Man charged in Pittsford crashJune 25,2013Man charged in crash
PITTSFORD A Forestdale man was injured and will face a criminal charge from a crash on Route 7 Sunday afternoon, according to Vermont State Police.
Lucas Manchester, 33, was driving a 2000 Chevy S10 pickup north through the middle of town just before 5 p.m. when he left the roadway and crashed into a guard rail, police said.
Manchester, who was wearing his seat belt, cut his head during the crash and was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for what police said was a minor injury.
He was also issued a criminal citation to appear in court next month to answer a charge of careless and negligent operation after a witness to the crash told police Manchester was driving at a high rate of speed.
Police say alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor in the crash but no drunken driving charge has been brought. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact state police at 773-9101.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER — FairPoint Communications is being purchased by Illinois-based...

Ferrihydrite is a key mineral in many groundwater systems. As the primary precipitate of ferric iron the understanding of its surface structure is key to its chemical reactivity. Recent advances by Marc Michel in the Schoonen group a bulk crystal structure is available for modeling. While the bulk structure requires protentation it is a sufficient starting point for modeling studies of the effect of water on the ferrihydrite surface. The predominant challenge is to rectify the tetrahedral-octahedral rearrangement which occurs surrounding many of the iron centers at the surface of the structure as well as providing key information on proton structure.
Once the rearrangement of atoms on the surface is determined it will be possible to calculate the oxidation reactions with ferrihydrite. For example, it is known that ferrihydrite reacts readily with arsenite. However, preliminary modeling calculations indicate that the reaction with aqueous ferric iron does not proceed due to the instability of the As(IV) intermediate. This suggests that the reaction with ferrihydrite is a strong candidate for a two electron transfer, an extraordinarily unusual event, but not an impossible one. Understanding this chemical process may shed light on a broad category of redox reactions including those involving biological cofactors and nanoscale materials.
This project will use plane wave density functional theory and explicit representation of the solvent interlayer. These are not typically small optimizations and calculations will require taking into account the anti-ferromagnetic behavior of ferrihydrite. Primary work will be performed by Matthew Wander and will bring together multiple research groups within CEMS and the Geosciences department.

New studies on staying fit, living long
Staying fit in summertime — you know, those steamy days when lying on a raft in the middle of the lake seems a proper choice for the strenuous life — isn't always easy. But as it turns out, new studies indicate it's both doable and critical. Plus, it can keep you alive. According to a newly published study, just getting off the raft and walking around a bit can reduce your risk of early death. This just in from Science Daily:
A new study by researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Cambridge University and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden has found that even light or moderate intensity physical activity, such as walking or cycling, can substantially reduced the risk of early death.
The study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, combined the results from the largest studies around the world on the health impact of light and moderate intensity physical activity. It showed that the largest health benefits from light or moderate activity (such as walking and cycling) were in people who do hardly any physical activity at all. Although more activity is better — the benefits of even a small amount of physical activity are very large in the least physically active.
The good news from this study is that you don't have to be an exercise freak to benefit from physical activity. Just achieving the recommended levels of physical activity (equivalent to 30 minutes daily of moderate intensity activity on 5 days a week) reduces the risk of death by 19% [95%confidence interval 15% to 24%], while 7 hours per week of moderate activity (compared with no activity) reduces the risk of death by 24% (95% CI 19% to 29%).
(Of course, if you get off the raft and jog around the lake, the benefits rise. Who knows, there could be a further reduction in the risk of death, as long as you aren't jogging in traffic. Over on his Coloradoan blog, senior runner Jon Sinclair points out that runners of a certain age — Sinclair introduced this writer to the "pre-boomer" designation — have been at it long enough to have proved this point: "Everyone stand up. All of you that began running after 1976 can sit down. Those that still are standing can smirk proudly at those sitting. I'm sure there aren't many of you standing. For us 'pre-boomers,' or pbers, the current state of running is amazing and we should all feel happy about it.")
But the best news of all, especially for those drawn to summertime laziness, is just in from the SportsGeezer. It is the suggestion that if you invite a bunch of friends to join you on the raft, possibly planning for cocktails and dinner later, you might do just as well skipping the walk/jog altogether:
More powerful than exercise, better than giving up smoking, extensive social networks have been shown to increase longevity by 50 percent. The Scientific American reports on research conducted at Brigham Young University that reviewed the results from 148 studies—which included a total of 308,849 participants—going back to the early 20th century. Most studies assessed survival in contrast to mortality from all causes. Sciam reports that the analysis also assessed what kind of studies best predict a person's survival. Questionnaires that had asked participants at least a few in-depth questions about various social connections (such as, "To what extent are you participating or involved in your social network?" or "To what extent can you count on other people?") were more effective at pinpointing a person's overall risk of mortality from all causes than those that simply determined if a person was single or married or lived with at least one other person. The researchers found that when the questions delved deeper, complex social networks increased survival rates by 91 percent.
Prospects for a pleasant summer and a long life just went up.

Earth Hour | Was It Good For You?
Posted By Sarah Backhouse On April 1, 2008 @ 7:08 pm In Green Report / Media | No Comments
At 8:00 on Saturday night, the lights went out at Sydney's Opera House, the Wat Arun Buddhist temple in Bangkok, the Royal Palace in Copenhagen and in thousands of homes in Christchurch, New Zealand (basically a typical Saturday night there — kidding!). Google also showed their support by going Blackle for a day, their tagline reading: "We've turned the lights out. Now it's your turn." All this to celebrate Earth Hour 2008 – a global event to raise awareness about climate change.
So it was with much anticipation that my family planned our day, making sure to eat, bathe and other light-necessitating activities well before the designated 8:00 pm. 7:58 pm, candles at the ready, we wondered…would tonight be the night we finally witnessed stars shining above the city of angels? 8:05pm. Wah, waaaah. Stepping out onto our street, we uttered dismay as we discovered we were the only house on our street in the dark. This, in socially conscious Los Feliz, where there are more per capita than just about anywhere. (Okay, I made this up, but there certainly are a lot of Priuses). What chance was there for the rest of the country, we wondered?
A Monday morning straw poll of socially conscious co-workers and friends revealed that the only ones who abided by the "no lights at home for an hour" rule did so by default (i.e., they were out). Hmmm. Sure, Los Angeles wasn't one of the designated partner cities, but it was on Google, people — you can't feign ignorance.
Despite the non-efforts of those in my circle, Earth Hour U.S. was upbeat: "Millions of Americans — in Chicago, Atlanta, Phoenix, San Francisco and dozens of other communities large and small — joined mayors, citizens' groups, schools and corporations from coast to coast" (according to Earth Hour U.S. dot org). "Earth Hour broke down boundaries. Never before have people from so many different backgrounds, cultures, and geographies come together to press for urgent change. Never before have governments, NGOs, businesses and average people called upon each other and the world to find a new direction."
If you say so. We're still awaiting final figures on how many participated worldwide in Earth Hour (organizers were hoping for 100 million people or more), but my gut instinct says that figure is rather optimistic.
Let's try and do a better job for Earth Hour 2009, shall we? I mean, it's only about the future of planet.

Ft. Hood, Hasan And Some On The Left's Tone Deafness
You can't beat the left for not getting the message or understanding the problem, can you:
[Montel Williams, on his Air America program] suggested on Monday that the Fort Hood backlash against Muslims could be so great we would put Muslims in internment camps like the Japanese under Franklin Roosevelt:
WILLIAMS: We pulled something like this back in World War II when we decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps. This is something that I think before we can blink, the [anti-Muslim] rhetoric, Doc, could get out of hand. What do you think?
FRANK FARLEY, psychologist, Temple University: I agree totally. I mean, the possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here. You know, we should be treating this as a unique incident and look at the factors involved in this very unique and specific incident, and not overgeneralize. Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. The idea that all Muslims are the same is ridiculous….
Everybody's got their own personal qualities and individual differences and let's just treat this as a very specific incident and try to figure out why this particular person did this particular thing.
WILLIAMS: Absolutely. No matter what it comes out to, at the end of the day, even if it comes out in the last five months and all his anxiety around his impending deployment, he decided his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him, you know, the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn't mean that the religion is to blame.
FARLEY: Absolutely, it's his interpretation of everything, and his interpretation [of Islam] may vary dramatically from his fellow Muslims.
Wow. As much as I cautioned people to give the facts a chance to come out before coming to conclusions about Hasan, this is just an example of some incredible denial going on here. We now have facts – lots of facts – and informed conclusions can be drawn.
And let's deal with the internment camp nonsense. That happened because a liberal Democratic president signed an Executive Order (Executive Order 9066 on February 19, 1942) which enabled US citizens of a particular national background to be interned (a total violation of their civil rights). Is he really suggesting that because we have a liberal Democrat president again in the White House that history may repeat itself. Or is he as ignorant of history as most and assuming it was done by mean, nasty right-wing types?
Something else that sort of hits me here – if there was no "backlash" against muslims after 9/11, why do these yahoos think there will be one now? Who is it who will be involved in this backlash and why is this incident so different from 9/11 that it will spark the backlash 9/11 didn't? I don't know. But I would think that the American people, who sorted that out the last time, will sort it out this time as well.
Are there prudent steps to be taken in light of what has happened at Ft. Hood as concerns muslim soldiers? Yes. Given Ft. Hood, the Little Rock incident and the fragging incident in Iraq, all involving muslim soldiers or muslims attacking soldiers, I'd say that it would be prudent to screen the reported 3,500 muslim military members (discretely and unobtrusively as possible) given the deadly action of two (as I recall, the left was all for a purge of the military to look for neo-nazis and white supremacists) . And yes that means, given the unique situation our military is in (fighting in two muslim countries) and the possible conflict that may bring to the minds of some who are of the dominant religion of those two countries – that we're "profiling". But then, while it is the antithesis of political correctness, it is the smart thing to do. Show me a compelling reason to screen the rest of the military for those who might be in a similar situation and I'd be for that as well.
Should there be procedures put in place that would encourage the reporting of language or actions that appear to support a radicalized person – be it through religion or ideology? Yes, there should. And the chain of command must be made to take such reports seriously, investigate them thoroughly and act if necessary. Or said another way, political correctness and the fear of being censured if you do report such utterances or actions, must be banned from the military.
Finally, people like Williams and Farley must be pointed out and ridiculed because it is their sort of denial which leads to incidents like Ft. Hood. We all need to grow up a bit, quit taking everything as an insult and understand that your feelings don't take precedence over someone else's life. Yes, we're diverse. Yes, we're an amalgamation of peoples.
However, if you are consistently being bitten on the leg by dogs, you don't go looking for cats or chickens. We have to learn to honestly and forthrightly address the threat. Radical Islam has been attacking us since the embassy takeover in Iran 30 years ago. They are the ones we should be looking for right now – and you're not going to find them among Christian, atheist or Jewish military personnel.
The threat appears to be a segment of Islam that becomes violently radicalized and strikes out at those it considers "infidels". In the case of Hasan that was obviously anyone within reach. And, as experts say, self-generated jihadis are not unusual and are, as we've found out, more dangerous than those with organized connections (those with organized connections are easier to find and track). Given all I've read about Hasan – and it has been a lot – that's what I believe he is. A self-generated jihadi who became increasingly radicalized over the years to the point that he finally decided he must act.
I understand and appreciate the attempts to warn us off of using too broad a brush. That was one of the points of my previous post that generated so much discussion. But it is no longer a secret that there are radicals among the religion of Islam who find it to be their duty to do similar acts to those of Hasan. Pretending Hasan wasn't one of those stretches credulity to the max. The first day of the shootings – yes, a perfectly acceptable argument. We had few facts and much of what was reported we subsequently found out was wrong. However now, given the veritable avalanche of information which has been provided about this man and verified, it is more than a little lame to pretend he might have been something our experience and the facts tell us he's not.
Willams and Farley do a disservice to us all by claiming those who have concluded his religion radicalized him and was the reason he did what he did are "overgeneralizing". Not anymore. Sure it was a "specific incident" as Farley claims, but so was 9/11. And after we learned about each of the radicals who committed that atrocity we found men not unlike Nadal Malik Hasan, didn't we?
13 Responses to Ft. Hood, Hasan And Some On The Left's Tone Deafness
Thanks for pointing out what I was thinking….if we didn't round 'them' all up after 9/11 we border on the 'never will' scenario.
What I love is the angst these liberal 'fear mongers' suffer from. It must be a bitch having to spend your life living in fear of things you imagine all the time like these people seem to do. I suspect that keeping their audience on the edge of panic is a happy part of their schtick.
More worrying to me than radical Islam is radical leftism bringing us Obamacare, cap and trade, etc. If we are going to repeat EO9066, let's get the bigger threat to America . . .
McQ – Is [Williams] really suggesting that because we have a liberal Democrat president again in the White House that history may repeat itself. Or is he as ignorant of history as most and assuming it was done by mean, nasty right-wing types?
I suggest that it's deeper: he really doesn't like AMERICA. As our First Lady told us back during the campaign, our country is just plain ol' MEAN. Hence, the mean people living in it (you know: bitter, clinging to their guns and Bibles?) will do mean things to Muslims just because one of them happens to have slaughtered thirteen of their fellow mean Americans for reasons that are obscur but DEFINITLY have NOTHING to do with Hasan's religious beliefs.
What makes this doubly bewildering is that (IIRC) Williams is a Navy vet. How somebody gets to a place where he worries more about an imagined backlash against Muslims than about the lives of his fellow servicemen… I guess it's liberalism. Makes people crazy.
"I mean, the possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here"
Oh, he means like the prejudice that led a radical muslim to kill 13 infiels?
Might I suggest we ask our Iraqi allies how they screen their military and police for jihadis?
They face the same problem as us, but on a much larger scale. How many times were their own recruits or soldiers bombed in Iraq by covert jihadis?
I'd also be interested in the Kit Carson scout program in Vietnam – did they ever have trouble like this?
I figure there has been/ will be far less backlash over the Cole, 9/11, Ft. Hood, Little Rock etc than there was over some editorial cartoons in a Danish newspaper.
Hell, I'll take bets.
A nation this gutless and this brain-dead cannot survive.
Hasan obviously had the cracks in base security well in hand. He had connived a hidden in plain sight project at every angle, right down to the business cards with the jihadist initials.
This should wake people up. It should be taken as a warning.
We don't need to intern Muslims, but there are a lot of policies that we might want to revisit, immigration and otherwise.
The Army allowed this guy to have access to soldiers in medical situations and he had freedom of movement on a huge base.
Are there guys like this in combat positions? On ships? With access to combat aircraft? Two weeks ago that question would have struck me as unnecessary. Now, I don't know.
How far does political correctness go in the military?
Again, this should be viewed as a warning.
I think the Left cannot understand why the Mooselimbs have not all been rounded up. The lack of this government action flies in the face of all that they believe the USA stands for.
I think what's really amazing about the whole "Hasan" thing is how it mirrors the experience that every American worker has had with some "misfit" in their own workplace. It shows the whole experience .. the odd proclamations .. the obtuse reaction by "human resources" .. the denial.
I've personally experienced some people that went on to become "case studies" used by corporate HR training .. the guy who went to the HR manager's house when his "girl friend" and "main squeeze" got "let go" .. the guy who claimed he would "get the NAACP on their asses" for virtually anything he got caught doing. And, of course, these guys lived on for another day.

10 H-Town Classics To Celebrate Houston Appreciation Weekend
Yesterday (May 19), Drake announced the schedule for the second annual OVO-run Houston Appreciation Weekend (HAW), which kicks off tomorrow (May 21) with a Bun B tribute event and ends Sunday (May 24) with a Drizzy/Future "Jungle" show and a Boosie Badazz after-party.
#TBT: Devin The Dude
Devin The Dude has come a long way in his 20+ year rap career. Starting out in the Odd Squad (who later changed their name to Coughee Brothaz), Devin went on to release 8 solo albums from 1998-2013. He's still around, collaborating with the likes of King Chip, Snoop Dogg and Daz Dillinger in 2014, but it definitely seems that he has slowed down a little bit since his glory days. And he should; he's worked hard. And plus, all that weed smoke he rhymes about has to chill him out...by now at least.
Stream Devin The Dude's "One For The Road" Album
Devin The Dude is back with another slice of his smoked-out everyman rap, and while the project is due out next week, he's made it available to stream in full until the release date. The new project from Devin features guest appearances from Rob Quest, Jugg Mugg, Rum, DNA, Angela Williams and more. One for The Road hits iTunes October 15th. You can pre-order it here.

This project is deprecated
This project has been replaced with: ember-cli
Getting Started
While Ember App Kit is powerful and easy once you get the hang of it, getting started with it isn't the most intuitive process for most developers. This guide will ease you into developing your application using EAK.
The easiest way to create a new project with Ember App Kit is to simply download it as a zip. You can also
git clone the repo, though you'll want to
rm -r .git to remove its Git history.
Once you have the template, you'll need to install its dependencies. Ember App Kit's primary build tool is Grunt, a build tool written in Node.js. If you don't already have Node installed, you can get it from nodejs.org or your package manager of choice (including Homebrew on OSX).
Once you've installed Node, you'll need to install the Grunt command-line tool globally with:
npm install -g grunt-cli
This will give you access to the
grunt command-line runner.
You'll need to install Bower, a package manager that keeps your front-end dependencies (including JQuery, Ember, and QUnit) up to date. This is as easy as running:
npm install -g bower
This will give you access to the
bower command-line runner.
Next, in the folder for your new project, run:
npm install
This will install the dependencies Grunt relies on to build. These dependencies are primarily various Grunt tasks that do everything from module compilation to test running.
npm install's
postinstall hook runs for you
bower install to install front-end dependencies. For more information on Bower, see the guide on managing dependencies.
Once your dependencies are installed, you should be able to simply run:
grunt server
and navigate to http://0.0.0.0:8000 to see your new app in action.
Development using Ember App Kit
Folder Layout
Ember App Kit comes with lots of boilerplate, which can be daunting to navigate at first. Here's the layout of the application, which we'll explore in further detail throughout the guides.
|Contains your Ember application's code. Javascript files in this folder are compiled through the ES6 module transpiler and concatenated into a file called
app.js. See the table below for more details.
|Contains the distributable (that is, optimized and self-contained) output of your application. Deploy this to your server!
|This folder will be copied verbatim into the root of your built application. Use this for assets that don't have a build step, such as images or fonts.
|Contains custom Grunt tasks and helpers used in the build process.
|Contains configuration for the external Grunt tasks used for everything from module compilation to serving up your application.
|Includes unit and integration tests for your app, as well as various helpers to load and run your tests.
|Various temporary output of build steps, as well as the debug output of your application (
|Your dependencies, both those included with EAK and those installed with Bower.
|JSHint configuration.
|Travis CI configuration. See Testing with Karma.
|Defines the various multitasks EAK uses to build. See Asset Compilation.
|Bower configuration and dependency list. See Managing Dependencies.
|Testem configuration. See Testing with Testem.
|NPM configuration. Mainly used to list the dependencies needed for asset compilation.
Layout within app/
|Your application's entry point. This is the module that is first executed.
|The only actual page of your single-page app! Includes dependencies and kickstarts your Ember application.
|Your route configuration. The routes defined here correspond to routes in
|Contains your stylesheets, whether SASS, LESS, Stylus, Compass, or plain CSS (though only one type is allowed, see Asset Compilation). These are all compiled through the into
|Your Handlebars templates. These are compiled to
templates.js. The templates are named the same as their filename, minus the extension (i.e.
templates/foo/bar.hbs ->
|Modules resolved by the Ember App Kit resolver. See Using Modules & the Resolver.
Using Grunt
The development workflow for EAK is centered around Grunt, the build tool mentioned above. Grunt is simply a task runner, that is, it runs various tasks to handle your build pipeline. Unlike a build tool like Rake, which is usually used to write custom tasks configured for an application, Grunt primarily uses generic tasks that are configured through simple, generic JSON configuration.
If you'd like to peek into the innards of Ember App Kit's build pipeline, you can pop open the
Gruntfile.js to see the exact order of execution in each task, along with the individual task configuration in the
tasks/options folder. To get started, though, you only need to know a few easy commands:
grunt- The default command builds your application (in debug mode) and runs its tests.
grunt server- As you saw above, this command builds your application (in debug mode) and serves it. This task also will watch your application for changes, and will rebuild any time you change a file.
grunt test:server- Same as above, but also runs all tests as files change.
grunt dist- Builds your application once in dist mode. This means your assets will be minified and version-stamped. This task also builds to the
dist/folder, which can be deployed to a static server in production.
grunt server:dist- Same as above, but also launches a preview server for your optimized output.
Special thanks to the Rails Getting Started guide for inspiration, as well as blog posts by Matthew Beale and Taras Mankovski.

Schizomavella linearis is an encrusting bryozoan that forms broad pale pink colonies. Colonies are initially composed of a single layer of autozooids, but later develop multiple layers. On occasion colonies produce lobed or folded sheets which are partly free of the substrate. Autozooids are rectangular or polygonal and convex. They are 0.4-0.7 by 0.3-0.4 mm and arranged in radiating linear series.

What's happening now?
Now, for an update as to what is going on in quality. This week starts Alpha 1 for the flavors that are participating. In addition, the first work items are starting to see completion.
Ali has been working on getting the wiki pages and workflow ready for our community calls for testing. You can check out the page on the wiki here, and schedule testing events. The page explains the basic workflow -- I'd encourage you to schedule events for your favorite packages and let others know about the event on the mailing list. Be sure and report the results once you've completed.
Alberto has been working on getting the papercuts project running for the trusty cycle and ensuring the buglist is maintained and accessible.
Dan has been working on getting our automated testing in place and we're meeting with the CI team this week to get this implemented as part of the release process. Excellent work Dan!
Dan has also been working on the autopilot gtk emulator, which seeks to do the same thing as we've done with the autopilot ubuntu sdk emulator. Both of these frameworks help make writing tests easier.
Speaking of tests, Carla and others have been busy adding and fixing tests to make sure our dashboard stays green. And look at it! We're over 99% passing tests for the ubuntu touch platform. I want to personally thank everyone who's helped write and maintain these tests. Kudos to you all!
On the desktop side, Dan is helping new folks land tests, and the ubuntu desktop default apps continue to run and provide feedback on the desktop.
We also saw several new members join the ubuntu community via ubuntu quality recently. Congrats to Jean-Baptiste, Dan Chapman and Daniel Kessel (my apologies if I missed you!).
Finally we have Thibaut and other folks looking at refactoring and improving ubuntu startup disk creator. Checkout the full blueprint for more information.
So, what's next?
Well for most of us, it's the Holiday season. Looking beyond the Holidays, , there's several big items in my list to work on in January:
- Continue to keep the dashboard green all the time
- Do wiki, mailing list, launchpad integration with bugsquad
- Add wiki documentation and videos for exploratory testing
Well, you dear reader, I trust is getting involved in some of the work items and other activities. It starts with installing the development version of ubuntu and then diving in from there. Perhaps you want to write some tests, triage or fix some bugs, or schedule a testing event. If you are interested in making a contribution to ubuntu, we can always use good testers, test writers, developers and triagers!
If you are celebrating holidays this time of year, enjoy your time! Thanks everyone and Happy Testing!

|Why Forgiveness?
Forgiveness has been deeply valued in religious, spiritual, and philosophical traditions for centuries. As such, it has been considered crucial as a courageous response to injustice and moral wrongdoing in personal, family, and community relationships.
Yet, in practical terms, one might still ask: What is forgiveness? How do I go about forgiving? How will I change for the better when I forgive? Within the last two decades, developmental psychologists at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, have been researching these very questions.
This research has produced a working definition of forgiveness and process of forgiving that forms a basis for both personal growth and psychological healing. The University of Wisconsin research has shown with many different groups (domestic abuse, divorce, incest, drug and alcohol abuse, parental neglect, school bullying, and other painful relationships) that as people learn more about forgiveness and practice forgiving, they experience psychological benefits such as decreased anger, anxiety, & depression, as well as increased hope, self-esteem, & identity development (what kind of person do I want to become?).
