Narrator: Adrian "Arrow" DeFlèche
Everyone is watching him. Every girl; every boy. He exudes charisma and bent truth like a politician does, and that runs in the family -- Jake is the mayor's son, after all. As he emerges from the vehicle, I can see my charge watching him.
Yes, she is my charge now, I remind myself. I am, from now on, to be her protector.
No, wait -- in hindsight, her Protector. Capital 'P', Mom would remind me if she were here, and were anything more than a pile of ashes. Sacred duty or some such thing!
These words seem like nonsense, I know. But we're dealing with more than the common person knows, more than the common person believes -- far more!
She approaches him, but there are too many people in the way.
Jake is blushing. I can see it through the crowd around him. They love it when he blushes. But his eyes are on me, and they're green with envy. Bright green, like grass that looks toward the shade longing and wishing that it was hidden from the assault of the sun.
I am the shade. I am protection.
Then he grins, seeing that she too is drawn to him like all the other sheep.
I feel the need to remind him that he is not her shepherd, or anyone's for that matter. But Jake is my friend. At least, he is when we're not at school.
It's always the three of us: Blaze, Jake and I. Every Saturday, at Blaze's mother's, my Aunt Eleanor's. Crowding around the red leather cover of the First Deflèche Tome. Somewhere in those thousands of pages, we lose ourselves for hours.
Then Aunty Ella feeds us.
And then we head into the backyard. And the backyard soon becomes the forest. Crossing the river, we hit the swamp. And a few miles down, we've found the old woods - thicker than the forest, and teeming with ether and magic. We cross over into the underside of reality, where our knowledge and power is welcome, weaving in and out of it as we roam. There, we put our reading to the test, in those cavities and pockets of a deeper life. Our weekends and spare time are rich with the extraordinary. Sure, Sunday we devote much of the day to homework and studying - and sometimes chores. But still we remain more than students.
It used to be like that at school, too, but at some point the hormones and gossip, the fashions and fads, the cat-calls and the cliques... they all became too much for him. And now I don't know which is the real Jake. And if I lose my cousin too, I might have nobody left.
I look around, and I wonder, Where is Blaze?
She seems to be late.
I look back.
Jake begins to walk towards her. Towards Luna.
Drat! I almost say it aloud. But it's caught painfully in my knotted throat.
Blaze steps in the way. Brown hair with blond streaks tied up in a bun. And then her arms are around him. And she kisses him on the cheek, "Hey there, tiger."
I gape. I stare. My head feels like it's reeling with confusion, but I seem to be perfectly still. What's going on? Why are they being so close? Why did she call him a tiger?
"I missed you," he tells her. It's so unlike him.
A wave of jealousy ripples through the crowd around him, and some disperse.
There's a curious frown on Luna's face. Her study partner has stopped to stand beside her. They're like birds perched on the curb of the sidewalk beside the parking lot. There's an exchange of whispers I can't hear.
It dawns on me then how inevitable it was that one of them would make a move on the other. After all, there are certain things they can't share with mortals. But something about it doesn't sit well with me. I can't help but wonder how it will seem come the weekend.
Jake begins to walk away, toward Luna.
Blaze grabs him by the arm, "Not so fast, mister!"
I take that as my cue. He wants to be everything I am. And Aunt Eleanor advised me against that. He's not ready to be anyone's Protector. Especially not that of one so special.
I brush a hand over my face, leaving a lopsided grin there as I adjust my silver necklace nervously. Then I step out from behind the tree and into their view, "Hey!"
"Hello," says Luna's study partner.
Luna herself looks down at her shoes. There seems to be a quiet anger on her face.
"No more private school?" her friend asks.
I can't remember her name. I shake my head, "Nope. We're in with everyone else for the next two years." I can't be Luna's Protector if I'm not at the same school and in all her classes.
In the distance, Jake takes a step towards us. He's already kissed one girl today, so it'll look really bad if he tries to seal the deal as Luna's Protector.
I shoot him a glare. I clench my left fist, wishing for the handle of my bow. I've never felt so angry at him. And it hurts more to know that he's my friend. The three of us, there's a blood pact between us. That counts for something, right?
"So, uhmm... Luna, is there something you wanted to ask Arrow?" says her friend.
I turn towards her. Black hair dangles between us. My feet tremble. She's unbelievably cute. An odd warmth that isn't really there flows through me.
"C'mon," she whispers to Luna. "The bell's gonna ring soon."
"This is private," says Luna. Her voice is so calm, it's uncanny.
"What is it, Luna?" I ask. "You can ask me anything. You know that, right?"
Luna nods. "It's not you that's invading privacy," she tells me.
I don't think her companion heard a word of that.
"Damn, you're nervous!" exclaims the other, misreading Luna entirely.
Skyla! That's her name! I think to myself, as I look up at the sky and let out a delighted sigh. As I look back down, I can see Blaze and Jake. They're further off now, and she seems to be giving him some pretty harsh words. I struggle to keep my left foot from trembling.
"Guhh... I was w-wondering," Luna began. She stops. She looks Skyla in the eye, and something unsaid passes between them.
"Go for it," mouths Skyla.
My lip-reading needs work.
I remain standing. Patiently.
The bell rings.
It rings again.
And again.
"Fine!" yells Skyla. "Don't kiss him!" And then she storms off.
Luna looked away, her face turning red.
I smile. And then I start laughing. I can't help myself. It is a soft chuckle.
And then, she starts laughing too!
We make eye contact, but neither one of us can stop laughing. And we have forgotten what we are laughing about before a teacher sticks his head out the school window and yells, "You two! Move along! Get to class!"
I take her by the hand, "Let's go!"
And we run. Together. We pass locker after locker. And students rushing every which way. We never let go.
My anger is gone, for there is something in my hand that feels better than my bow.
She stops. We stop.
"This is my class," she says, loosening her grip and turning toward the doorway of Room 109.
I smile. "Mine too."
White teeth flash back at me. White like an orb I'd seen three years ago.
She walks through the doorway.
A shiver runs down my spine, and I turn around by instinct.
The hallway is empty, except for one student. They are short. I can't tell if they are a boy or a girl. Probably fifteen or sixteen years old. Their face is shadowed by the green hood of a windbreaker.
I turn back to the classroom.
And then something unseen knocks me over with alien momentum. I fall five feet into the room, knock my head on the door and then fall to the floor. Blood from my nose splashs across the tile floor.
Someone in the room screams. The teacher gets up abruptly. Students gather around me with tissues and paper towels.
And back out in the hall, I hear two sets of laughter.
There are reasons why Luna needs a Protector. More reasons than I yet know.

Come, Dwell Awhile at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts
Nell Chandler, Ali Givens and Ellie Reinhold invite you to DWELL at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts, April 21st through May 25th
Nell Chandler started her career as a painter and printmaker and has incorporated those mediums into her jewelry work for many years, however last year she tried something new. Chandler decided to make impressions in white polymer clay and fill them with black acrylic paint. The technique allowed her to create very delicate black and white line drawings which she could then incorporate into her jewelry.
Now, Chandler has carried the series a little further. She's added watercolor as well - creating a black and white line drawings ...but with color. And this series will have a narrative theme; "once again I will rely on my painting and printmaking and story telling, but in a new way" says Chandler.
Ellie Reinhold's paintings have always been narrative. For this show, Reinhold says she is "playing with the concepts of building home or leaving home," considering these as both physical and philosophical/
Fiber artist Ali Givens has chosen to showcase a series of her signature structures in bold energetic colors set on crisp white canvas. The images, based on her own memories of home, represent houses you might find in places as diverse and engaging as Manhattan, small-town America and the Caribbean islands. Removed from her usual compositions, the structures stand alone and communicate her belief in the joyful comfort that home provides, regardless of location.
Dwell runs from April 21st through May 25th with an opening reception Friday, April 25th from 6-9pm, during Hillsborough'

Building a Wine environment for Windows applications
Versatile Vintage
More and more Windows applications run on Linux thanks to Wine. If you spend a little time on configuration and troubleshooting, you won't be stuck in Windows – even with applications that no one dreamed would run on Linux.
Beyond the easily replaceable large office and graphics packages, the market bustles with countless, typically smaller programs that cater to the needs of small- to medium-sized niches. Commonly, companies or government offices create their own custom, mission-critical applications. The famous Wine system libraries [1] provide a means for running Windows applications from within Linux. Right now, version 1.4 is the stable release, and development release 1.5.6 is also available.

Mounted stereograph showing the Fiji Armed Native Constabulary and the New Zealand Scottish Regiment participating in the Flemington Military Review. It is part of the G. H. Myers Collection which consists of 73 photographs taken by Godfrey Henry Myers, an electrician and amateur photographer, in Melbourne during May 1901. 72 of these photographs depict preparations for the celebrations that surrounded Federation; all but one are glass stereographs.
The subsequent addition of 14 printed stereograph photographs compliments the existing holding of Myer's glass stereograph negatives. This collection represents Myers' one venture into commercial photography. It is significant for its images of the crowds, which do not feature so prominently in commercial photographs. The remaining photograph is a family portrait.
The opening of the Australian Parliament on 9 May 1901 was an occasion for great celebrations in Melbourne. Ten days of festivities (from 6-16 May) were planned to mark the Federation of the new nation and honour the Royal visitors, the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. The city was transformed with decorations - flags, bunting, colourful lights and festive arches - and a series of public events were held, including a military tattoo and several street parades. Unprecedented numbers of people arrived in Melbourne from the rest of Victoria and throughout Australia to take part in the celebrations.
Description of Content
Fiji Armed Native Constabulary and New Zealand Scottish Regiment, Flemington Military Review, Federation Celebrations, Melbourne May 1901. The only conscripted military body in the British Empire, Fijians served as lieutenant officers. Their uniform included a white tapa cloth reaching to the knee, their reddened hair uncovered by cap or helmet. Marching in front of the Fiji Armed Native Constabulary is the New Zealand Scottish Regiment in full kilt uniform.
Physical Description
Black & white stereographic photograph mounted on cardboard backing printed with publisher details.
Commercially printed examples of amateur photographer G.H. Myers' stereographic photography, represented in the collections through a series of 72 stereograph glass negatives. They offer an interesting and rare representation of events and social activity at the time of Australian federation.

Has anyone installed, or tried to install, a "Shur-Grip" or "Posi-Grip" on a medium-size recurve riser? Would like to install on my new bow but ads say for SOME recurves.
Has anyone installed, or tried to install, a "Shur-Grip" or "Posi-Grip" on a medium-size recurve riser? Would like to install on my new bow but ads say for SOME recurves.
I've put a Sur Grip on a Palmer riser. It's a little work but it can be done. I've done it with and without the limbs on (t/d) I wish I could remember which was easier, probably with. (smoother transitions)
Roll it up the limbs like you would on a longbow, just before you get to the riser slipe some STRONG cord under it. (1/4" nylon or similar) You are then going fight and cuss and pull the donut up around all the edges of your riser until it is near the right place. Unroll and it and fine tune. If, after you unroll it, you are way off, roll it back up and make major adjustments with the cord again.
If you were able to get the grip over a "Palmer" riser I should be able to get it over my "Beowulf" recurve riser, and with less effort.
How did/has it held up?
Thanks much for the info and the installation method tip.
It held up just fine. I just don't like them. I've found I get a more consistancy when my had naturally finds it's own "seat" on the riser.
Had one on my recurve for a while. Took a lot of elbow grease. Ended up taking it off because I just didn't like the way it felt. I shoot bare now.
FWIW, I've heard that the Posi Grip is loads better than the Sure Grip.
I put sure-grips on damon howatt 1pc. & martin hatfield td's recurves w/o too much trouble. Held up & worked well
Thanks much for the input.
I've used the Sure Grip and it works fine; however, now I use tennis racket wraps and won't use anything else.
I tried it on my BW SA bow but did not like it, did use it on my older HS metal handle BW and worked well, but it does add a lot fo tac to your grip and could cause some torque problems. I just prefer to let my hand slide and settle on the grip when I draw back.
I would definitely use in on a longbow as you do tend to grab the grip more securely with most of those bows.

For consistency I would use such value records for all values, regardless of the value size. I'd like to keep the value identifiers as short as possible, optimally just 64 bits, to avoid too much storage and bandwidth overhead. The indirection costs could probably best be avoided by storing copies of short value contents along with the value identifiers where the values are referenced. > anyway, what key did you have in mind? > i would assume some sort of a hash (md5) could be great or is this > still more abstract? I was thinking about something more concrete, like a direct disk offset. The value identifier could for example be a 64 bit integer with the first 32 bits identifying the revision that contains the value and the last 32 bits being the offset of the value record within a "value file". I haven't yet calculated whether such a scheme gives us a large enough identifier space. > > Name and path values are stored as strings using namespace prefixes > > from an internal namespace registry.

Exactly.

Note that the "value key" can well be different from the value identifier. I was thinking of using something like a standard (and fast) CRC code as the hash key for looking up potential matches. For large binaries we could also calculate a SHA checksum to avoid having to read through the entire byte stream when checking for equality. For short values the CRC coupled with an exact byte comparison should be good enough. > i could even see an asynchronous model that "inlines" values > of all sizes initially and then leaves it up to some sort of garbage > collection job to "extract" the large values and stores them as > immutable value records... > this could preserve "insert performance" and allows to benefit from > efficient operations for things like copy, clone, etc and of course the > space consumption benefits. I would be ready to trade some insert performance for more consistency, but let's see how much the cost would be in practice. BR, Jukka Zitting

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Tyler Hansbrough (FSY) took a verbal jab from a fellow ex-North Carolina Tarheel after committing his first NBA foul.
"This ain't Carolina, T!" Antawn Jamison (FSY) yelled from Washington's bench.
Hansbrough spent his remaining minutes making it look just like Carolina.
He shot more free throws than anyone else, made the hustle plays that made him famous in college and helped the Indiana Pacers beat the Wizards 102-86 on Friday night. Hansbrough finished with 13 points in 14 minutes in his pro debut.
GAME REPORT: Pacers 102, Wizards 86
"It was a lot of hard work and things to get to this stage, but I put that all behind me when I got out there," he said. "It felt great. Just a relief to get out there and kind of move forward from this injury thing."
The first-round draft pick missed the preseason and the first four regular-season games with a right shin injury. When asked if he was surprised by his strong performance, a perplexed Hansbrough said "No," then offered perspective.
"Just expecting the best and see what happens," he said. "I didn't know what to expect."
Pacers coach Jim O'Brien got exactly what he wanted from his rookie, especially with starting power forward Troy Murphy (FSY) out with an injured back.
"A little rusty in a lot of areas, but he's going to be in the attack mode at the offense and defensive end, he's going to go after every rebound," O'Brien said. "I'm very pleased with him. I think he's going to be a heck of an NBA player."
Danny Granger (FSY) scored 22 points and T.J. Ford (FSY) added 18 points and 10 rebounds for the Pacers, who raised a banner honoring late co-owner Mel Simon before the game. He died in September at age 82.
Caron Butler (FSY) led the Wizards with 24 points and 12 rebounds, and Brendan Haywood (FSY) had nine points and 19 rebounds. Gilbert Arenas (FSY), who had averaged 28 points, finished with 13 and took only 10 shots, while Washington shot 39% and committed 19 turnovers.
"I'm very disappointed," Wizards coach Flip Saunders said. "Our effort was poor. We turned the ball over way too much. I told the guys I'm going to have to take responsibility."
Hansbrough entered the game to loud cheers but got off to a rough start. He missed a 15-foot jumper on his first shot, got the rebound, then got his next shot blocked by Andray Blatche (FSY).
"I felt like it was kind of a reality check sometimes," he said.
Hansbrough scored his first bucket on a layup with 11:44 left in the second quarter.
The Pacers led 53-41 at halftime. Washington rallied in the early minutes of the third quarter, but back-to-back threes by Granger and Earl Watson (FSY) pushed Indiana's lead to 64-51 and forced the Wizards to call timeout.
Washington trimmed the lead to 66-58 before the Pacers' rookies entered the game and went to work. Hansbrough hit a layup and two free throws, and A.J. Price (FSY) made back-to-back three-pointers in a 10-0 run to stretch the lead to 76-58.
Hansbrough went 3-for-7 from the field and 7-for-10 from the foul line. He also had five rebounds and dove into the crowd once while chasing a loose ball.
"He brings that intensity, kind of that mad-dog intensity," Granger said. "I like to refer to him as a pitbull on the loose. He's just attacking all over the place, and that's the mentality you need."
It was a day filled with celebrations. Besides the rookie's debut and the banner-raising ceremony, it was the 10th anniversary of the opening of Conseco Fieldhouse. Simon cut the ribbon to open the building with his brother Herb on Nov. 6, 1999.
Mel Simon joins former players Reggie Miller (FSY), Mel Daniels, Roger Brown and George McGinnis, and ex-coach Bobby "Slick" Leonard as the only people with their names in the rafters. The Simons bought the franchise in 1983 and, in one 11-year stretch, the Pacers reached the Eastern Conference finals six times and the NBA finals once.
Hansbrough is one of the core pieces the Pacers hope will get them back.
"He brings tremendous energy," Granger said. "He's going to play as hard as he can for as long as he can. He's so physical. He's one of those guys you definitely want on your team."
NOTES: Arenas became the 294th player to score 10,000 points. ... Indiana's Mike Dunleavy (FSY) (knee), Travis Diener (FSY) (toe on left foot) and Jeff Foster (FSY) (sore lower back) sat out along with Murphy. ... The Pacers beat Boston 115-108 to open Conseco Fieldhouse. Miller scored 29 points that night. ... Granger collected four steals in the first six minutes. ... Rik Smits (FSY), who played on the Pacers' 2000 Finals team, attended the game. ... Indiana G Brandon Rush (FSY) sprained his right ankle and did not return.

In Diagnosing Pneumonia In Children, Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Is More Accurate Than The Stethoscope
These findings have important public health implications, especially in the developing world, as pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children worldwide. Pneumonia kills an estimated 1.2 million children under the age of five years every year - more than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined.
"The World Health Organization has estimated as many as three-quarters of the world's population, especially in the developing world, does not have access to any diagnostic imaging, such as chest x-ray, to detect pneumonia," said senior author James Tsung, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine and Pediatrics at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. "Many children treated with antibiotics may only have a viral infection - not pneumonia. Portable ultrasound machines can provide a more accurate diagnosis of pneumonia than a stethoscope."
Dr. Tsung of Mount Sinai, along with collaborators Vaishali Shah, MD of the Children's Hospital at Montefiore and Michael G. Tunik, MD of Bellevue Hospital Center/NYU School of Medicine, studied 200 patients from birth to 21 years of age who were presented to the emergency department with suspected community acquired pneumonia at Bellevue Hospital Center from 2008-2010. The criteria for inclusion were patients requiring a chest x-ray for evaluation. Sonologists, clinicians who perform and interpret ultrasonography, were given one hour of focused training prior to the start of the study on the use the ultrasonography to diagnose pneumonia.
Researchers found point-of-care ultrasound to be highly specific (97 percent) for diagnosing pneumonia, with sensitivity as high as 92 percent that can be achieved with training and experience. The accuracy for diagnosing pneumonia with the stethoscope was lower: specificity ranged from 77-83 percent, and sensitivity at 24 percent.
Further analysis of the data at Mount Sinai Medical Center revealed that ultrasound was able to identify pneumonia too small (less than 1 centimeter) for a chest x-ray to detect in 12 out of 48 patients with confirmed pneumonia.
Dr. Tsung and colleagues noted that diagnosing pneumonia with a stethoscope can be more difficult when a patient is wheezing or has co-existing diseases like asthma or bronchiolitis. This is not a problem for ultrasound.
Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection that affects the lungs. The lungs are made up of small sacs called alveoli. The alveoli fill with air when a healthy person breathes. When an individual has pneumonia, the alveoli are filled with pus and fluid, which makes breathing painful and limits oxygen intake.

Phila. to Unveil Incentive-based Recycling Plan
Published: December 2, 2009
Philadelphia will unveil its latest ambitious recycling
initiative Thursday, an incentive-based program that city officials say
could reward households $240 a year for their participation and save
the city millions of dollars in landfill fees.
The program, which begins in February in north Philadelphia and will be rolled out to a new section of the city every month after that, is expected to increase the city's recycling rate dramatically by the end of next year.
Based on the total amount recycled in their community, residents will earn points that can be redeemed for discount coupons or gift cards for hundreds of local and national businesses, including supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants and museums.
Points also can be used to make charitable contributions or help fund $5,000 "green" grants for city schools.
In an interview Wednesday, Mayor Nutter called the new program "a triple win. It's a win for the city because we save money by recycling. Citizens save money. And businesses get more customers coming in because of the discount cards."
He said the program - a federal grant is funding most of its startup costs - "puts real rewards, real money in the hands of citizens at a time when they need it most."
Longtime Streets Department critic Maurice Sampson, who owns the waste management company, Niche Recycling Inc., called the plan "a brilliant concept. My hat's off to everyone involved."
"I think Philadelphians are really going to respond well to this," he added. "It answers that question, 'What's in it for me?'"
Right now, the city pays $64 a ton to landfill its waste. It pays only 33 cents a ton to send recyclables to the Blue Mountain sorting facility.
But Streets Commissioner Clarena I.W. Tolson said the market for recyclables is currently low. In the past, when commodity prices were higher, the city has been paid as much as $44 a ton for recyclables - a $108 differential between recycling and landfilling.
In a city with 580,000 tons of waste a year, "those are significant numbers," she said.
The program, which will resemble successful efforts in Cherry Hill and other suburbs, is a partnership with Recyclebank, a company that was co-founded by former area resident and 1993 Germantown Academy graduate Ron Gonen.
Gonen said that the Philadelphia partnership was especially gratifying since it was the city that gave his fledgling company its first business with a pilot program instituted in 2005.
"They're the ones that gave us a chance," Gonen said. "We owe them a lot."
Recyclebank, a for-profit company, now provides services to more than 1 million members in 20 states - including more than two dozen municipalities in this region - and the United Kingdom.
The Philadelphia program will be the largest in the U.S., according to the the city and the company.
Recycling in the city was begun in 1989, and rates remained among the lowest in the nation for urban areas. When Nutter took office, it was a lackluster 7 percent.
At that time, recyclables were picked up only every other week, sometimes not even on the same day as the trash, and residents had to sort recyclables - paper separate from plastic, for instance.
The nonprofit Recycling Alliance of Philadelphia amassed 13,000 signatures on a petition asking for weekly pick-up and single-stream recycling, in which all recyclables can be put into one bin.
The city did both, and the recycling rate increased to 12.4 percent by July, the end of fiscal 2009, saving the city $4.8 million in landfill costs.
In October, the rate was an all-time high of 15.6 percent.
Nutter said he was confident that, with the new program, the city would meet its goals of a 20 percent diversion rate by the end of 2011, and a 25 percent rate by 2015.
The Alliance petition also asked the city to institute incentive-based recycling with Recyclebank, but for several years, Tolson maintained that the economics weren't right.
The program at that point would have logged the weight of each household's recyclables, a time-consuming effort that by Tolson's calculations would have added $4.5 million to the department's budget in overtime costs.
Recyclebank also wanted part of its fees up front.
The new program is better financially, Tolson said, and is much simpler, making it easier for people to participate.
A federal grant of $708,400 is paying for the equipment - radio tags for household bins and equipment on the trucks that can "read" the tags - and Recyclebank is funding other initial costs.
The company won't be paid until recycling rates increase, said Gonen. At that point, it will get between 30 and 65 percent of the money the city saves on avoided landfill fees, based on how much recycling rates actually increase.
"So we are motivated to make sure everyone recycles as much as possible," Gonen said.
Residents can sign up now online (www.PhillyRecyclingPAYS.com) or by phone (1-888-769-7960), which will earn them 100 bonus points for early registration.
They will receive a free radio tag by mail that identifies each participating home and can be affixed to any hard-sided container. (In other communities, Recyclebank has provided containers, but that costs more money and led to complaints that the bins were too big, too small or an unsightly color.)
They can monitor, redeem or donate their points online or by phone in a process the city says is comparable to shopping online.
The city will tally recycling amounts not by household, but by the community overall, making it pointless to, say, steal a neighbor's recyclables.
Katie Edwards, a recycling advocate at the Clean Air Council and a member of the Alliance, said the neighborhood-based program also will help build community.
"The easiest way to spread the word, I feel, is neighbor to neighbor, from a trusted source," she said.
In the new Philadelphia program, households will also earn points based on reductions in waste sent to landfills. Tolson said this would encourage people to buy in bulk, look for items with less packaging and take other steps to reduce their waste.
That impressed Lori Braunstein, executive director of Sustainable Cherry Hill, an independent nonprofit.
Recyclebank began a program in the township in 2008. In the first year, recycling increased 100 percent and the township saved $700,000 in waste disposal fees.
Residents earned more than 19 million bonus points, redeemable for $500,000 in products and services.
Braunstein said residents were excited about the incentives, but many she's talked to said they had not yet bothered to redeem them. They just liked the idea.
But when the community put out a challenge, asking people to donate their points to several "green" school projects, they responded enthusiastically, Braunstein said.
Within days, Cherry Hill East High School had $5,000 for a greenhouse and an organic gardening program.

In 2012, Jason Jacobs completed his second year as a volunteer coach on the University of Georgia baseball staff. He works primarily with the catchers and infielders. In 2011, the Bulldogs went 33-32 playing the nation's toughest rated schedule and advanced to the NCAA Corvallis Regional final. Georgia finished fourth in the rugged SEC at 16-14 behind three teams ranked in the top five all season in South Carolina, Florida and Vanderbilt, as they shared the league crown. The Bulldogs set a school record for fielding percentage at .974. In 2012, Georgia posted a 31-26 mark and set another Fielding Percentage record at .978.
Jacobs has been a valuable contributor to the program in the last decade as a four-year letterman including a part of two College World Series teams (2004 and 2006) and as a student assistant during the 2010 season.
A native of West Palm Beach, Fla., Jacobs was a 20th round pick of the New York Mets in 2006 and spent four years playing professional baseball. He was a two-time New York Penn League All-Star and helped the Brooklyn Cyclones capture the 2007 title. During that season, he smashed a league record 12 home runs and was involved in a 26-inning contest that lasted six hours and 40 minutes. He caught the first 18 innings of that marathon that ranks as the longest game in New York Penn League history. In 2008, he was promoted to St. Lucie, the Class High A affiliate. In 2009, he played for the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League and earned All-Star honors.
In his Bulldog career, Jacobs batted .305 with 20 home runs and 123 RBI in 198 games including 168 starts. He served as team captain of the 2006 Bulldog squad that posted a final mark of 47-23 and number six national ranking after advancing to the College World Series. As a senior, he batted .331-7-48, made the SEC All-Tournament team, the NCAA Athens Regional All-Tournament team and made 67 starts at catcher. He caught 95 percent of the innings pitched and set a school record for a catcher with 449 putouts. As a sophomore in 2004, Jacobs helped the Bulldogs win a Southeastern Conference title. The team went 45-23 and had a number four national ranking after reaching the College World Series. He hit the game-tying solo home run in the top of the ninth in a 7-6 NCAA Regional championship victory over Clemson in Athens.
Jacobs earned a bachelor of science degree in mathematics from UGA in the spring of 2010. He is married to the former Catherine Foley of Atlanta, Ga.

I can never un-see what you have showed me.
I can never say not again.
You always told me what to do,
How to think,
What to say.
What I don't get is why you did it.
Why'd you lie?
Why'd you judge me?
Why'd you have to throw it all away?
You were fearless till I took a stand.
You were ruthlessly powerful till I spoke up.
You were invincible till I learned the truth.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The room was large, there was a mini-frig and microwave, and the bed comfortable. We were surprised by the variety and quality of the food at the included breakfast. A plus was that there were two restaurants located right next to the hotel.

Exploring the Berkshires in Massachusetts
As we crossed over into the State of Massachusetts, (ok, from here forth it's going to be referred to as Massa as it's too long a word to keep writing and I'm bound to mis-spell it at some point!)
So as we crossed over into Massa, most things remained the same, the rolling hills, the pretty houses and the winding country roads.
The only obvious change was the re-introduction to ...
A lovely house called "Linker Oever";-)

A Tucson man convicted of running a real estate investment scam was sentenced to five years in prison.
Dino Sisneros was found guilty of wire fraud and money laundering in federal court in June.
Federal prosecutors said Sisneros solicited investments promising large returns. Instead of investing the funds in real estate purchases, however, he spent much of the money on personal luxury items, including ski trips, car payments and hotel bills.
Sisneros was also ordered to pay restitution of $963,200 to the victims of the scheme.
In addition, Sisneros faces trial in a separate case where federal authorities said he participated in an extensive mortgage fraud scheme.
The trial date on that case is scheduled for February 25.

4 Keys to Winning Clients
Your work is dependent on your technical expertise, but that's not what's going to win over your clients. If you're looking to expand your client base and see real business growth, it's time to shift your focus away from the power of your technology.
But you're a company who thrives on technology, so if that isn't your focus when it comes to selling your services, then what is?
If you really want to connect with your current and potential clients, your communications have to focus on what matters most to each client: their individual businesses. As a managed services provider (MSP), you might not have the resources to offer a customized service offering to every client. And you don't need to.
All you need is to focus your messaging and conversations on these 4 tools for winning over your clients:
1. Be Client-Centric.
You're providing your clients with specific services and technologies, but that's just the vehicle that delivers what they really want: peace of mind, and quick solutions to their biggest business headaches. When you position yourself as a trusted advisor, your role is to present the answers to client questions and concerns. Instead of selling your product or service, convince clients to partner with you by addressing their biggest issues and explaining how you can solve them.
2. Play To Your Strengths.
Take a good look at the problems you're solving already. You might be surprised to discover that you're already an expert in a particular vertical, or in addressing a certain issue quickly. If that's the case, reach out to other prospects with shared characteristics. Clients want to hear that you've helped someone just like them, so developing a list of satisfied clientele will aid in building prospective client confidence in your services–by making it clear where your expertise lies.
3. Be Empathetic.
Remove your work from the equation for a moment and try to get to the bottom of the issues your clients are struggling with. Create a running list of the underlying problems you're solving for. Consider the way the situation would develop without a solution, and then pinpoint the client's desired outcome. When you break down each situation this way, you'll see what resonates most with your clients, and you can position your sales tactics accordingly.
4. Educate Clients.
Now that you have a list of the issues you're best at solving and a complete 360° look at your clients' perspective on the problems at hand, it's time to start providing some education. Focus on providing thought leadership through mediums like newsletters, webinars and blog posts that help your clients understand how each problem is created, the risks of not solving it and what value they will receive when partnering with you.
The bottom line? The technology you use is simply the means by which you provide real value to your client base. While your technical skillset and the power of your solutions certainly matter–they're what allow you to do your job well–they aren't what will win you future business. If you're looking to expand your client base, focus on becoming a true partner to your clients and sell your value as a one-stop-shop they can trust to get anything done.

Another charged with blackmailing Transformers film crew in Hong Kong
Two men to face trial in second case linked to filming of latest Transformers movie
A second man charged in a blackmail case involving the crew filming the Hollywood blockbuster Transformers: Age of Extinction appeared in court yesterday.
Unemployed Choi Kin-shun, 30, who is accused of working with Tse Chung-ping and others to blackmail Tong Hoi-ka, entered no plea in Kowloon City Court.
The case is the second in recent weeks involving attempts to get money out of the film crew of the Hollywood blockbuster during their two-week shoot in Hong Kong in October last year.
Magistrate Peter Law Tak-chuen adjourned Choi's case to March 11 for the prosecution to prepare papers for the transfer of the case to the District Court.
Choi is charged with one count of conspiracy to blackmail and one of loitering with intent, an offence said to have taken place at the same time as Tong was allegedly checking the roof of a building in To Kwa Wan Road, Kowloon, on October 22 last year.
Tse, 35, who was arrested and charged later that month, appeared in the District Court yesterday. His case was adjourned to March 18.
The previous blackmail case came to court last month.
Air-conditioning technician Mak Chi-shing was found guilty of attempting to blackmail the crew to the tune of HK$100,000 at King's Road, Quarry Bay, when they first started to film in the city on October 17 last year.
Mak, 27, was convicted of one count of blackmail and one of assaulting a police officer at the District Court. He was jailed for 21/2 years.
His brother, 28-year-old Mak Chi-hang, was convicted of resisting a police officer and was sentenced to six weeks in jail. He was cleared of attempted blackmail.
The alleged blackmail attempts received global attention.
The film crew had an eventful time during their Hong Kong shoot.
Filming at government headquarters had to be scheduled to avoid a clash with a protest by supporters of snubbed television licence bidder Hong Kong Television Network.
The film is out this summer.

Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your D150. Car aficionados appreciate the aggressive styling built into each Dodge, and understand that only the best replacement D150 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Anyone who operates a Dodge knows that when it comes to fixing their car, truck, or SUV only the absolute best replacement parts will do. Dodge car, truck, or SUV owners have become used to a certain level of reliable transport when driving their D150 around town.
The thousands upon thousands of revolutions our engines make each day would eventually tear them apart without lubrication. The Purolater (the first oil filter) was invented in 1923, and your Dodge D150 engine still uses the technology that is derived from this early invention. Your Dodge D150 oil filter separates the engine oil and the debris that normally flows through it so that the engine can continue to remain lubricated. Without this process being performed by your oil filter, the engine oil would become increasingly dirty, highly viscous, and ineffective.
At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents available with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Dodge D150 part for your project or repair. Given all the hassles associated with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Ordering new Dodge parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the most superior original and aftermarket replacement D150 parts on the internet. All the Dodge D150 Oil Filter parts on this page will fit vehicles made in 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977.

A guide to the wattage of stars in the news this week
SETH ROGEN: 40 watts
 This week Rogen was a guest on the premiere of "Conan" and made headlines for proposing to his girlfriend while she was topless. But other than that, the Vancouver-born actor doesn't have much in the works. He seems to be laying relatively low for now, with several films slated for release next year, including "The Green Hornet." Probably a good thing, too, because Rogen was reaching maximum over-exposure levels.
RACHEL McADAMS: 80 watts
 Attaining the title of America's Sweetheart isn't easy, and it comes with a fine pedigree (hello, Julia Roberts!). But McAdams's role in "Morning Glory" seems to be edging her towards the honour. Roger Ebert himself, who says McAdams "blooms" in the film, tweeted that she could become America's Sweetheart if she weren't Canadian. Details, details. McAdams is next in line for the crown.
JAMES FRANCO: 100 watts
 Forget that Dos Equis guy – Franco is the most interesting man in the world. No one in Hollywood is burning brighter than the 32-year-old actor. He has become the object of everyone's fascination with his numerous side projects (grad school, a recently released collection of short stories, a starring turn on "General Hospital," among many others), and now his performance in "127 Hours" is generating Oscar buzz. The man is a cut above!

Building a biofuel-boosting Swiss Army knife
Researchers at Michigan State University have built a molecular Swiss Army knife that streamlines the molecular machinery of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, making biofuels and other green chemical production from these organisms more viable.
The team has done in a year what has taken millions of years to evolve. In the current issue of Plant Cell, they describe how they fabricated a synthetic protein that not only improves the assembly of the carbon-fixing factory of cyanobacteria, but also provides a proof of concept for a device that could potentially improve plant photosynthesis or be used to install new metabolic pathways in bacteria.

Look Up And Cry
"... I love you."
I spent so many weeks searching everywhere for even the tiniest hint about why he left, about why he…
But every time, my search ended in despair, and I was back to square one, tears. I spent so many weeks drenched the salty sweetness that I forgot how to live. I was dragged away from my joy and lost in a world suffering from an intolerable, heart-breaking loss. I lost him, and I knew there was nothing I could do to bring him back.
But maybe, just maybe… Maybe if I had known, I could've stopped him. Maybe if I hadn't been so blind, he would still be here.
Everyone keeps saying it wasn't my fault. Everyone keeps saying I had nothing to do with it. But I know, with every ounce of my being, that it was me.
Everyone keeps saying I need help.
They're wrong. What I really needed was closure, and that's exactly what I got.
I opened the book, his favorite, and that's what fell out, the letter.
And as I read those, no his, last words, there were no more tears.

Vitesse ponder Yordi move
By Mark Kendall
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The 29-year-old hit-man played a major part in Zaragoza's promotion campaign last term, but has slipped out of boss Paco Flores' first team plans this time around.
The burly frontman has made just one substitute appearance for the Aragon-based outfit to date this campaign, and seems set to move on once the transfer window reopens.
Yordi was linked with a lucrative move to Spartak Moscow during the summer but ultimately the player opted against the transfer, but the one-time Blackburn Rovers loan star admits he is ready to seek pastures new.
"Players as much as clubs must be open to study any offer that comes in," he declared.
"This is for the good of everyone, but it is another matter whether they interest you."
Speaking of Vitesse's interest he continued: "I know that they are following me, but I don't know the details.
"At the moment it's satisfying to know they have me on their agenda.
"It will now be a question of talking, but my first option is to stay even though my situation at Zaragoza is not the most beautiful."
The main stumbling block to any transfer would be the financial aspect as the Dutch outfit have very limited financial resources.
Vitesse would look to broker an initial loan deal, but with just one year left on the player's contract Zaragoza would prefer to negotiate a permanent deal for a sizeable fee and that could put the striker beyond the Dutch outfit's reach.

ISTANBUL (AFP) – Neymar scored twice as Brazil defeated Turkey 4-0 in a friendly international Wednesday as coach Dunga celebrated a fifth successive win since taking the hot-seat following his country's traumatic World Cup.
The match, played out in front of a packed Sukru Saracoglu, also saw Turkey suffer a sixth match without a victory.
The Turks were roundly jeered by their fans after a lacklustre display which came four days before they face Kazakhstan in their latest Euro 2016 qualifier where they will attempt to climb off the bottom of their group.
"I think I'm in the best form of my career though I can't be satisfied. I shall keep on working hard to get even better, to keep on helping Barcelona and the Brazilian national side," Neymar told Globo TV.
Neymar opened the scoring after 19 minutes when he picked up a cross from Fernandinho before dribbling the ball into the area and stabbing it past a static Suleyman Demirel in the Turkish goal.
The goal meant that Neymar was the first Brazilian to score five successive goals since Nilmar in 2009.
Five minutes later it was 2-0 when defender Suat Kaya put through his own goal under pressure from debutant Luiz Adriano who was trying to reach a cross from Danilo.
Mevlut Erding came close to pulling one back when he headed just wide of goalkeeper Diego Alves' far post.
But Brazil were soon back in the ascendancy when Willian steered in the third just before the interval after a Neymar cross was not cleared.
After the break, David Luiz had a firm header saved spectacularly by substitute goalkeeper Volkan Babacan before Neymar added his second goal and Brazil's fourth on the hour mark.
The Barcelona star played a neat one-two with Willian before waltzing past a disinterested Turkish defence to score.
The coolness of the finish brought warm applause from the home crowd.

PIL urges strict security measures at rail stations
The Bombay High Court issued notices to the Centre, Central Railway and Western Railway on a PIL urging strict security measures at local railway stations.
Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Thursday issued notices to the Centre, Central Railway and Western Railway on a public interest litigation (PIL) urging strict security measures at local railway stations in the wake of the 26/11 terror attacks, besides ensuring conducive working conditions for motermen and guards.
The PIL came up for hearing before Justice AM Khanvilkar and Justice Vijaya Tahilramani who asked the respondents to file replies by November 21.
The PIL, filed by Dr Shailesh Sharma, a professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Powai, said that local trains were the lifeline of Mumbai as 52 lakh commuters travelled daily in what is regarded as the biggest rail network in the world. Hence, safety of commuters was of paramount importance.
The petition said that instead of state police, CISF security guards should be posted at all railway stations, on the lines of security provided at airports.
Secondly, motormen and guards work all 365 days in a year without getting weekly offs or holidays, it alleged.
All existing train routes were introduced before Independence and thereafter, no new routes have been set up, thereby bringing lot of pressure on the existing network, the PIL said.
It said that investigation of crimes at railway stations be given to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) instead of the state police, as railway was the subject of the union government.
At important stations like CST, Churchgate, Bombay Central, Borivali, Vasai, Virar, Thane, Kalyan and Vashi, National Security Guards (NSG) commandos should be posted permanently, the PIL prayed.
Besides, there should be fire extinguishers in every compartment and the railways should introduce special coaches for children as well as senior citizens, the PIL said.
