KENWOOD — District officials are investigating options for sewer and water system upgrades as well as opportunities to help with the costs of such improvements.
At Thursday's school board meeting, John Emerson, supervising inspector with Gibson-Thomas Engineering Co. Inc., of Latrobe, presented two options for each of the systems based on results of a recent feasibility study.
Moving ahead with improvements to both systems was of equal importance, he said. According to officials, both systems are about 50 years old.
"In my estimation, you'd be lucky to get another five years," Emerson told school directors.
Corrosion and outdated infrastructure cause concern that the systems may be out of compliance with DEP standards in the future, according to Emerson. Falling out of compliance could lead to heavy fines if the problems are not addressed within a year — which can be costly.
"If it takes you $1 million or $10 million, they don't care," he said.
The systems currently are in compliance with regulations, officials said.
Based on his study, which he started about two months ago, Emerson suggested the district's water system be changed from the current well to a waterline.
The proposed waterline would run approximately 2ᄑ miles from the school toward Heilwood along Route 553.
He discussed two options for upgrades to the district's water system. One focused on Penns Manor owning and maintaining the line.
With the second option, the Indiana County Municipal Services Authority would own and manage the system.
Were the district to own the waterline, Emerson said, the total project cost would be $614,250, with monthly payments totaling $4,746.50 per month for 20 years.
The second option, which would give ICMSA ownership, would total $582,250. The reduction in cost would come from a rebate ICMSA would kick back to the district from a $800 tap-in fee that would be charged to 40 homes tying in to the water line.
Homes built in the future that would tap into the line would result in additional credits, according to Emerson. While monthly payments would cover the costs of construction and service, the user fees could increase in the future.
For the sewer system, two options were also discussed.
The first gives ownership to ICMSA. Those at the municipal authority would convert the district's current sewage plant into a pumping station.
ICMSA would take a pump line from the school's pumping station across School Road to the sewage plant in Heilwood. The pump line would only serve the school district and not tie into a residential area.
Retrofitting and bringing the system up to standard so that ICMSA could take it over would cost $923,650. The monthly payment relating to all costs of such a project and the resulting service would total $5,983.
A second option could create a gravity-fed system leading from the Heilwood intersection to 40 homes in the area and a pump line back across School Road to the treatment plant.
That would cost about three times what the first option would, Emerson said. Because of high costs, Emerson indicated, such an option would likely not be considered.
He suggested to the board Penns Manor look into applying for loans and grants. The county, he said, would look at funding both projects with a PENNVEST loan.
In some cases, grants are awarded through the program, too, he said, depending on factors such as low-income areas. Interest on the loans is charged at 1 percent.
"Right now, that 1percent money is pretty hard to beat," Emerson said.
The next round of PENNVEST applications are due in January or February, he said. If support was given through PENNVEST, the money would be awarded in April. Gibson-Thomas, he said, could start as soon as July 2014 and wrap up the projects in a year.
After the meeting was adjourned, Superintendent Thomas Kakabar described the move as a "proactive" and "creative" one. Citing the potential for new development in the school district, he said that while such projects may cost more upfront, they could pay off in the long run.
"We want to see if it's feasible for us to do it, if it makes sense," he said. "We're always looking at improvements."
The structures, he said, were built in the mid-1960s.
"All systems like that have a useful lifetime. We're coming close to (the end) of its usefulness," he said.
"We're getting to the point where we have to make some decisions."
District officials have been considering the possibility of updating or replacing the systems for about a year.
There's no timeline currently for a decision regarding next steps, according to Kakabar.
He couldn't say yet whether the cost of upgrades or installation of a new system would impact tax rates.
Among other matters officials addressed at the meeting was the resignation of boys' head basketball coach Chad Kuzemchak. Kakabar said the resignation was job-related. Kuzemchak works outside of the district.
With the season quickly approaching, Kakabar said, officials would put the search for Kuzemchak's replacement on the "fast track."
School board members also approved a leave of absence from January to May for speech and hearing clinician Julie Thomas and granted permission to advertise for a long-term substitute to temporarily fill that role.
Also, Jennifer Kline was hired as a long-term substitute while special education instructor Kristen Kessler is on a leave of absence. Kline will be paid $85 for the first consecutive 20 days of employment and $130 per day thereafter, not exceeding 90 days.

Designer: Mango
Good afternoon—I hope that your Friday is shaping up to be lovely! Here, this past week, we have seen everything that we might expect from Spring including showers, sun, lighting and thunder—a mix has been most interesting. But today, and for this weekend, I believe sunshine is in order, making us long for forgiving things to wear and some time to relax and restore before the new week returns. What is in store for you?

The Lay of the Land

More informationWith The Sportswriter, in 1985, Richard Ford began a cycle of novels that ten years later - after Independence Day won both the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/Faulkner Award - was hailed by The Times of London as "an extraordinary epic [that] is nothing less than the story of the twentieth century itself."
Frank Bascombe's story resumes, in the fall of 2000, with the presidential election still hanging in the balance and Thanksgiving looming before him with all the perils of a post-nuclear family get-together. He's now plying his trade as a realtor on the Jersey shore and contending with health, marital and familial issues that have his full attention: "all the ways that life seems like life at age fifty-five strewn around me like poppies."
Richard Ford's first novel in over a decade: the funniest, most engaging (and explosive) book he's written, and a major literary event.

Educating women makes a huge difference. Many experts believe it is the best way of spending aid money in the developing world. Simple information can make a massive difference to the lives of the poor if it is accessible. A consultation with partners from and in the developing world has resulted in a list of over 200 topics that are thought to be helpful to people trying to escape from poverty and ill health. These are the topics we are working to make into interactive lessons. The lessons are at very basic level and are targeted primarily at women and children who cannot read or write and have little opportunity for learning. The topic list is divided into 8 sections: Health, Nutrition, Agriculture, Environment, Water/Sanitation, Community, Human Rights and Livelihoods, with a major focus on HIV and AIDS prevention.
Thare Machi Education works with community based partners in the developing world to help give women and children trapped in poverty more knowledge and more choice. We are planning to provide 100 interactive audio visual DVD lessons on key topics in the languages of the world's poor. The technology is reliable, cheap, interactive and easy to operate without experience. The Educational Content will include topics on many different areas such as HIV and AIDS, disease prevention, child care, agriculture and human rights. Thare Machi Education is equipping partners with DVD players, discs and simple Starfish Controllers for people to use in a growing number of countries.
TME was founded by Helen Taylor Thompson with the aim to reduce the large numbers of women becoming HIV positive through being forced into prostitution as a livelihood. As a result Thare Machi Education was registered as a charity and limited company in 2000, launched at the House of Lords and Canary Wharf in 2001 and with the first local partners in India in 2002.

Mr. HOLT. I thank the gentleman very much.
This, as we have heard, is a package of bills dealing with lands, and it is as partisan as can be. I wish that we were working in a bipartisan way. We could have a real lands package that would go somewhere. We could have addressed preservation of open space. This is important all across the country.
I often hear from my colleague from Utah and others that, well, people in New Jersey don't have a lot of Federal lands. Let me tell you, this is important for people in New Jersey and every one of the other 49 States and in the territories of the United States. My constituents, who live in the most densely populated State in the Union, have demonstrated again and again their support for open space preservation, for fighting sprawl, for providing for their kids and their kids' kids with safe places to experience the outdoors.
This legislation does so many bad things I hardly know where to begin. It's another attempt to remove most of the protections of environmental laws. And as you've heard from the ranking member, Mr. Markey, it establishes an intrusive domestic security enforcement zone, a drone zone.
Call it cute if you want, but as the ranking member said, if you're going to go to Big Bend or Acadia or any of the other national parks that fall in this, you'd better pay attention. It will do nothing to make us more secure.
I could talk all day about the problems in this bill, but let me just focus on one. One reason that this bill is not going anywhere legislatively, because it is so extreme, is the controversial provision it contains on the brazen effort to give away part of the Tongass National Forest.
The Tongass National Forest is known as a crown jewel of the National Forest System. Encompassing 17 million acres in southeast Alaska's panhandle, it's the last remaining intact temperate rainforest. It's the only remnant of the temperate rainforests that used to stretch from Northern California to Prince William Sound. Only half of the very large old-growth tree stands that used to cover the Tongass remain, and even the second growth land is spectacular. The other side was talking about how, well, some of this is not first-growth forest and, therefore, it's okay to give away to spoil. Now over a million people throughout the country--really, throughout the world--visit the Tongass National Forest annually to view the forest virtually unspoiled.
The bill before us today transfers 100,000 acres of the best of the best lands in southeast Alaska to the Sealaska Corporation, including the fine salmon streams, the areas most visited, recreational sites and tourist sites, as well as subsistence sites. This bill gives public lands to a private company, which some might call an earmark. Well, whatever you call it, it's an unjustified giveaway.
And since we're speaking of lands, I'd like to point out that I have introduced legislation to help preserve battlefields from the American Revolution and the War of 1812, legislation based on and including a very successful program to preserve civil war battlefields. This legislation, my bill, passed out of committee unanimously. Why was this not included in this bill? We could have been more bipartisan.
My colleague, Mr. Markey, has gone through a long list and others have gone through a long list of the problems with this legislation. Suffice it to say, this is not about preserving lands for the long-term enjoyment and benefit of the American people.

"It was FUN to make all in one dish. It needed more of a tomato/spaghetti zip, I use splenda and I may have added too much sugar, seemed too sweet. Next time I will omit the sugar, and maybe try some "home-canned" tomatoes in it."

Friday News Roundup: new HUD study, plus healthcare and homelessness
March 26, 2010
This week, HUD released a study that supports this argument we've been making for years:emergency shelter is actually more expensive for society than providing permanent housing. Along those lines, the latest in our series of seriously neat interactive tools, which we launched this week, illustrates the cost savings to communities with permanent supportive housing. You can read more on the new HUD study on Change.org's End Homelessness blog or in USA Today.
As this week began, a historic piece of healthcare legislation was passed in the House and signed by President Obama. While kinks get worked out and the fight continues, we're focusing on how reform will impact people experiencing homelessness. On Monday, we talked about why healthcare matters in the fight against homelessness and in the Huffington Post, Deborah De Santis of the Corporation for Supportive Housing made a convincing case:
The administration's proposal includes expanding Medicaid to everyone who earns below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Currently, permanent supportive housing projects across the country are constantly trying to find funding to pay for mental health services, substance abuse treatment, primary health care and intensive case management services. Expanded Medicaid insurance coverage will allow supportive housing providers to focus on providing services, rather than chasing after funding.
The full article is definitely worth a read.
Speaking of healthcare, the Street Roots blog published a stellar interview with Jim O'Connell, one of the founding physicians of Healthcare for the Homeless in Boston. It makes clear exactly how urgent the healthcare crisis is for people living on the streets. O'Connell says:
I think that we need to do everything we can to raise awareness of what I would call the public health emergency of people living on the streets. Their mortality rates are so high. The outcomes from their illnesses are so appalling. If this were any other population, we would have major programs to address health disparities.
Here at the Alliance, we published an new brief on chronic homelessness, which emphasizes the importance of housing for treating people like the ones O'Connell works with. Check it out here.
Before the week is out, check out the Open House blog: it's chock-full of information about the National Housing Center's Housing Solutions week.
While you're in the blogosphere, check out the Coalition for Central Florida's Top Ten Myths about Homelessness and this post from Jason Small, Policy Director at the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty, which discusses the disconnect between working on big ideas and talking to people day to day.
Whew! What a week. Stay tuned til next week, when we'll discuss the rise in street homelessness in NYC.

Balcony, accommodating staff. When I had asked if I could check in 2 hours early, they said yes. When I arrived it turned out this was not possible. Which would have been fine if I wasn't am traveling for 10 hours and if everything in Munich wasn't closed on Sunday's.
Great location. Great staff. Awesome fitness center.
Hotel is beautiful, upscale, modern and comfortable. Location is top rate, directly across from the virtualize markt. The staff was very friendly - though they seemed to have some issues which I suspect are from the hotel being rather new. Staff needs to be better trained in restarting the room with amenities. Coffee, sugar, other items were often not re-supplied. Room heating system failed while we were there; howevet, hey did supply us with a portable heater that worked well,
Unbelievable experience, it was the first time that I've seen in a hotel the following, all the staff knew the guest name, a prayer carpet and a compass was prepared in the room(respect to the Muslim guest needs), complements fruit and minibar without alcoholic drinks refilled on a daily basis. The room services food is the best in quality. And laundry service fulfills the guest needs. Never the less the location of the hotel is the best, and it worth every cent. Finally one of the main reasons that will make me to come back to Munich is this hotel.
good and friendly service, central location a big plus
The location was superb, the room very quiet
Luxury room and good services
everything top class: location, service, restaurants, roof bar.. Internet access is not included in the roomrate, unusual for a hotel of this class. No WIFI, only wired access available
I would like to thank all the staff for the excellent services they have provided to us during our recent stay for the christmas holidays. We were very happy to be there. Rooms were very clean and spacious with excellent decoration. Ideal location in the centre of the old town. We strong recommend this hotel .
excellent concierge service. Reception did utmost to give us a room we were happy with. Excellent breakfast staff. Very poor views (look out onto a multi storey car park) from back of hotel and I had requested a room with view on booking form. Very disappointing to get allocated very small room with car park building darkening the room even more. The gym is too small!!
Excellent front desk staff, concierge services, drinks and atmosphere in the bar, rooms design, prime location No
Väldigt bra läge, trevlig personal och en fantastisk frukostbuffé. Tv-bilden på rummet var inte alls bra. Hotellets Internetdator finns i en gammal telefonhytt i foajen. Trångt,obekvämt och svårarbetat men man har väl annat att göra i München än att sitta och surfa.
Utmärkt läge i centrum nära S- och U- bahn, shopping mm. Mycket bra frukost. Bekväma rum. Har bott på hotellet fyra gånger tidigare.
Bra läge - gångavstånd till det mesta. Utmärkt service Nej
The location of the hotel was excellent. We were initally booked in for 2 nights and decided to stay another night. Once we parked our car we did not need it again until we checked out as we were able to walk everywhere. The staff were friendly and our room was clean and comfortable.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The hotel is on a small side street within a short walk to the Marienplatz and Munich's famous Glockenspiel. We stayed one Saturday night in November, and while the hotel is located on a small, quiet side street, it shares that street with a bar. Now that the laws in Germany have changed and smoking is no longer allowed in bars and restaurants, people must go out onto the street to smoke. So the quiet street transforms into a loud, crowded extension of the bar from about 11:00 in the evening until 5:00 am the next morning.
Central location, excellent breakfast selection, reliable service, old world charm. The front desk staff is distant rather than friendly, but they are efficient and get the job done, which is enough for me.
It was a clean room, and the staff was very nice.
Very nice hotel. Absence of the air conditioning made my stay not so comfortable, it was too hot in the room, what is not acceptable for such expensive hotel.
The location was excellent. The room was very noisy, no tea/coffee facilities, no aircon, very very poor value for money - it was twice the price of the 2 other hotels that were four star that I stayed in, and half as nice!! Not a 4 star hotel if I compare it to others.
Great location, good size room and bathroom. Decent breakfast.
Location in munich, comfortable room,adequate dinning room, good service, friendly staff, reception good, doorway assistance good. People were both friendly and helpfull. Rooms were not heated to usa standards but qit all right vs other hotels of same class in germany.
staff very cold towards guests, staff loudly fighting and arguing in front of guests, poor breakfast buffet offer, very high price for the service rendered
Good hotel, good breakfast
Very responsive. Not a thing.
The location was excellent! The noice was coming from outside surprisingly clearly.
Liked the way the bathroom could be visually integrated into the sleeping area (glass wall) by opening the sliding door. Trendy cocktail bar. Super location close to Marienplatz and Viktualienmarkt. Could have done without the strip joint opposite, which leads to late night traffic
The location was excellent. The rooms were very nice and clean. Breakfast was not included in the rate as with other hotels we stayed at.
Staff were very helpful, and friendly. Hotel in a wonderful location for the old part of Munich. Not really a 4* Hotel, room standard a good 3*, breakfast buffet average and overpriced at 37 euros for two.
Staff were very helpful and efficient. Decor and ambience excellent. Comfortable lobby and pleasant outdoor area. Needed more wardrobe and cupboard space for clothes and toiletries. Pillows very hard and uncomfortable.
Decor was elegant and unusual e.g. recessed closet space. Room (courtyard-facing) was very quiet despite very central city location. Maybe it's louder in summer? There was a restaurant on the terrace directly below. Breakfast tasted absolutely terrific - ingredients all bought fresh at amazing farmer's market across the street. Staff at desk, in restaurant were friendly, cheerful and eager to help. Upon my request, they instantly replaced the "desk stool" with a chair with a back. Stylish and pleasant lobby encouraged a convivial atmosphere. Daily shoe polish service, daily newspaper were nice amenities. Wireless (included in rate) worked flawlessly. Excellent shower an Platform bed was a little bit uncomfortable.
Location, the room and staff
What we liked best about the Louis was our room, which was a very affordable room, and was still spacious and comfortable and stylish and it felt like we were staying in a really cozy, upscale bedroom - it did not feel like a hotel room. Oh and the hotel smells amazingly good. The only thing I would change about the room is, we would have appreciated a tea/coffee bar to prepare our own hot drinks; this is a feature we use all the time in hotels, when available. That is the only thing I consider lacking in the room.
The hotel is beautiful. lovely attention to detail. spacious, clean design, playful and elegant. Emiko restaurant tastes were delicious. The hotel is in an excellent spot to have a romantic walk through Munich center in the evening, or enjoying the sights and sounds of the Viktualienmarkt in the morning. The room was a bit chilly.
They recognised me from previous visit and upgraded me. Gorgeous design of room and facilities. Great location.
My 16 year old daughter and I loved Hotel Blauer Bock. The beds were super comfortable, the room charming and clean, and the breakfast was superb. A perfect introduction to Europe for my daughter. Also the front desk staff were extraordinary helpful with helping us navigate the train schedules and directions.
Trevlig och serviceinriktad personal samt utmärkt frukost Nej
Ett av de bästa hotell som vi bott på. Personalen är mycket vänlig och tillmötesgående. Frukosten jättebra. Möjligheten att kunna nyttja hotellets innergård som en "Coosy corner" på kvällen efter en lång dags äventyr i München med omgivningar är mycket värdefull. Vi kommer att helt klart att återvända och bo på Hotell Schlicker fler gånger. Nej
Det centrala läget, priset samt att personalen är serviceminded. Vi kände oss välkomnade. Bra frukost. Nej
Suveränt läge i city men förvånansvärt tyst. Heltäckningsmatta i rummet. Katastrof om man som jag är allergiker.
Bra personal och bra läge Sängarn bra Att ducha i ett badkar, Frukost borde ha ingått i priset, 150 kr för den frukosten var rena rånet, frukosten skulle få mig att ta ett annat hotell nästa gång
Läget, allting fungerde som jag hade förväntat, förhållandevis dyr frukost men defenitivt över snittet på hotell även i Tyskland. Som vanligt saknaden av badkar i mindre rum. Ett lite bättre bagageförvaringsrum med hyllor för väskor vore också önskvärt.
Perfekt centralt läge. Internet fungerade mindre bra några trappor upp.
Utmärkt läge,rimligt pris till standarden nej möjligen trångt,
Bra hotel med mycket centralt men tyst läge i gamla stan
Perfekt placering I vacker miljö Nej
centralt läge nej
Allt var bra förutom priset, men det berodde ju med största säkerhet på att det var en stor mässa i staden den veckan. Läget var jäte bra och personalen var trevlig och kunde bra engelska. Tyvärr stannade vi inte för att äta frukost utan åkte vid 06 på morgonen. Saknades vattenflaska på rummet.

April 10th marked ten years since my 47 year old mom died suddenly from pneumoccal sepsis. April 10th fell on Good Friday that year.
Mom was a third grade school teacher and I realized that all of her students are college aged now. Hard to believe. That was a rough year for our family as we had several losses, but the Lord was with us and strengthened us. It's weird to think about going ten years without talking to your mom. It's sad that she has never met two of my children. But she left behind a great testimony for me to pass on to them. She loved the Lord and loved us and someday when we reunite in Heaven I will have the privilege of introducing her to the two blessings we never thought we'd have. In the meantime, maybe she is busy loving on the ones we lost.
Okay, well that was a bit depressing now wasn't it?! Here is a picture of my mom followed by an inspiring article that the local paper printed about my dad as we headed into a new year….the first year without mom.
Me and Mom
Me and Dad
Hendricks County Flyer
December 21, 1998
He has had a year that would try the patience of Job. In fact, it has been the kind of year that would not only try your patience, but destroy your faith, break your spirit and break your heart.
But Dave Lumpkin has managed to come through with his faith intact, his spirit strong and his heart broken, but mending.
It started in March of this year with the unexpected death from undetected cancer of his brother-in-law and friend, David Clemons, 56. Then in April, his beloved wife and companion of 29 years, Sandee, 47, very suddenly became ill and died within the week of pneumococcal sepsis. In August, his brother, Dennis, just 38, complained of feeling ill, sat down and died from a massive heart attack. Not too surprisingly, Lumpkin had a heart attack himself in October and November 30 he was fired from his job as service manager by Firestone.
1998 will be remembered as a year when much was taken from this man. Yet he has come through it all with his already humble spirit unbowed, truly becoming the reed that bends with the storms of life, but does not break.
The question is, how?
Lumpkin, a quietly attractive man, has a strong, resilient faith that has brought him through this sustained hurricane with a will to go on, with hope and optimism for the future.
But he has had his moments of despair and his time of tears. He simply tries to take it as it comes to him, deal with it as it happens and tries not to repress it.
"The hardest days are our anniversary, her birthday, the holidays–days like that. I'm so aware she's not here and remember so well when she was," he said. "But as hard as this all has been, I know a lot of other people have gotten through things like this and I will too."
Lumpkin admits his strong faith in God and his acceptance of what has happened has helped him immeasurably in coping with those events. He has also participated in the grief support group at his church and feels that is another key to coping.
"It helps so much to talk with others who are going through this, too, and really understand what you're going through," he said.
The thing that helps the most, though, is knowing he did his best to be a worthy companion for his wife. "We always had a strong marriage, not perfect, but strong. But a year before she died, we decided we were letting other things get in the way and we made a special effort to make time for each other, do the things we needed to do to keep things close, " Lumpkin said. "I know I did what I needed to do. I have no regrets."
That probably comforts him more than anything else.
There are other people who comfort him. Lumpkin says he didn't realize how many friends he had until he lost so much from the rest of his life. But experiencing such pain and hurt did have a negative effect on him that he hadn't expected. "After a while I noticed that I had started to pull away from people I cared about, even my mother. I didn't want to care because I didn't want to get hurt like that again," said Lumpkin.
"But one thing I have realized in all this is life goes on, whether we want it to or not. Sandee's not coming back, no matter how much I'd like her to. She's finished her work here. But she wanted her death to mean something and it does. We had three daughters and I've got to be there for them. I've got to finish what Sandee and I started. And I'm looking forward to 1999, too, and all it holds."
The next time you are feeling a bit overwhelmed and as though all the woes of the Biblical Job are upon you, remember this present-day Job. Be thankful for what you have, deal with things as they come up, turn to your friends, perhaps even to Someone Higher Up and always treat the ones you love as though you might not have them tomorrow–because you might not.
Ask Dave Lumpkin. He can tell you what a comfort it is to have no regrets.
Ten Years has passed….
April 10th marked ten years since my 47 year old mom died suddenly from pneumoccal sepsis. April 10th fell on Good Friday that year.
Oh Ginger…I can't even imagine what it will be like when I lose my mom.
Praying for y'all today.
Ginger, now I know where you get your good looks. Both of your parents are gorgeous and you were such a pretty baby and you're still a pretty baby now. The article about your dad was amazing. He's quite an inspiring man. I'll be keeping him in mind the next time I'm tempted to complain about measly things. I didn't realize you lost your mom so young. I'm sure you must really miss her. Thanks for this peek into your family.

Google+ Adds Embedded Posts and Author Attribution
Google+ has added two really interesting developments today: Embedded Posts and Author Attribution. The announcement comes via the Google+ Developers Blog, the enhancements are designed to help authors get the credit for their work that they deserve, as well as expand their audience on Google and across the web.
Embedded Posts
An embedded post is when someone takes a specific post on a social network and embeds it into their blog or webpage, allowing their visitors to see that post right within the site, rather than link them away to it. While authors and content creators will often use this technique to display a tweet or video that helps illustrate their point, the real value to businesses is when you can get other content creators to embed your social media posts. And now that feature is available for all of your Google+ activity.
To encourage it, you don't have to do anything with your account. Simply continue to create and share interesting posts. Anyone can embed them if they want to.
If you want to embed a post yourself, simply go to that post and click on the down arrow in the upper right corner to reveal the post menu. Select Embed Post and a pop-up will provide embed code to use - a snippet of Javascript and a line of code to insert into your page. The result looks like this:
Author Attribution
Google Authorship is topic we've discussed before. What Google wants to do is make sure that both Google and Google users understand who the author of a specific piece of content is. When that information is known, and the content appears in search results, the author's name and image appear next to the result listing and are linked to the author's Google+ profile. Up until now, such a result required that the author placed their name as a byline on the actual content, linked to his or her Google+ profile, using the rel=author tag.
With today's update, Wordpress and Typepad users who are creating content can have their authorship automatically identified by using the Google+ Sign-in. In other words, instead of using Twitter or Facebook to sign into your account, use Google instead, and it won't matter if you've set up Google Authorship or not. Google will link your content with your Google+ profile and display your author information with search results accordingly.
According to the announcement, more platforms will follow so that soon, wherever you're using your Google+ account to log in, your author status will be automatically recognized.
If you have any questions or comments on these developments, please feel free to leave them below.

The Australian infrastructure market is in bubble territory, one of Australia's most experienced infrastructure advisers has argued.
Breaking ranks with large investors such as the $92 billion Future Fund, Alexander Austin said the market was overpriced, with recent transactions requiring private equity style returns to be profitable.
Mr Austin, co-founder of infrastructure advisory firm Access Capital and managing director of debt investor Infradebt, said the $5.1 billion June acquisition of Port Botany and Port Kembla by a consortium of superannuation funds, was a case in point. He said the price tag, based on earnings before interest, depreciation and tax, was more than double the long-term average price paid for ports.
"I think infrastructure equity is in a bubble. At Port Botany, they will need to cut costs dramatically or ramp up charges, or both. It is like buying a private equity business. I suspect five years from now, they will not get a great return on that business," said Mr Austin.
The Port Botany consortium included IFM Investors, which is backed by several large not-for-profit retirement schemes, AustralianSuper and QSuper.
But Mr Austin was sympathetic to the challenges facing super funds.
They have enormous cash flows to invest and are trying to diversify their portfolios away from equities.
At the same time, there is a shortage of infrastructure assets, he said.
After leaving Access Capital last November and selling his stake in the firm in April this year, Mr Austin set up Infradebt, a Canberra-based firm that will specialise in investing in senior infrastructure debt deals that fund Australian projects.
Former UniSuper and Telstra Super boss Terry McCredden has agreed to chair the company.
Unlike the infrastructure equity market, infrastructure debt was not in a bubble, argued Mr Austin.
"I think there is less competition in infrastructure debt," he said.
But the infrastructure specialist predicted demand for infrastructure debt would rise because super funds' ageing membership base meant they would increase their appetite for long-term, stable returns that were linked to inflation.
Furthermore, he argued that while super funds were increasingly taking asset management in-house, they were more likely to use external managers for infrastructure debt investments, where taking control of the asset was less important.
"On the debt side, they are not seeking control, so funds are more likely to outsource through mandates or pooled funds," said Mr Austin.
The intention is to operate mandates on behalf of clients, with a minimum size of about $50 million, but Mr Austin would not rule out raising a fund in the future for clients who wanted to invest smaller amounts.
Individual mandates allow the manager to customise the portfolio to suit client needs.
The Infradebt founder argued that Australian infrastructure debt market was sufficiently large, valued at about $100 billion.
He said the firm would be limited to senior debt and have a preference for brownfield projects.
While Infradebt would be prepared to accept construction risk, it would be loathe to take on patronage risk.

Backstage with 'Book Group'
09/02/04 12:00AM By Betty Smith-Mastaler
| Download MP3
(Host) Thetford, Vermont may seem a long way from Broadway, but for many years it's been at the center of a vibrant regional theater community. The Eclipse Grange on Thetford Hill is home to the Parish Players and hosts a variety of independent productions. Currently the original comedy, "Book Group," is making its debut there.
VPR's Betty Smith takes us backstage to meet the production company and first-time playwright.
(Smith) Marisa Smith of Lyme, New Hampshire is an avid reader. As a partner in theatrical publisher Smith and Kraus, she reads a lot of plays. And recently, she decided to try her hand at writing one herself. She found a quiet spot at the local library and started to write. For inspiration, she drew from her own ten-year membership in a local book discussion group.
So it isn't surprising that her first play is about books and the people who read them. But it's a little surprising that it's a comedy.
(M. Smith) "What's funny is what goes on in the meetings. Everyone always says to us, 'Oh you don't really talk about the book.' Well we do talk about the book but there's a long period before we're talking about the book that we talk about the things you imagine we talk about: our husbands, our children, school, gossip. It's not funny what we say about the books but sometimes that is funny. But the more humorous things take place before we talk about the book. And we also have our own 'in jokes.' You know, we have our own sort of history we refer back to and we end up making each other laugh. I mean that's a key element in our book group meetings, I think. And then at some point we stop, we have a little structure and talk about the book."
(Smith) Smith called upon her friend, Faith Catlin, of Sound and Noise Productions, to produce and direct. Catlin finds considerable depth in the play.
(Catlin) "It's about four women who actually get through the winter in New England, which is no small feat, through their love of each other and their love of literature. And it's about a journey and how friendship helps you and how men come and go and you always have a good book and you always have your women friends."
(Smith) As the play opens, it's a fall evening. Mags and Alison are first to arrive for the meeting. Ellie meets them at the door. Darri Colton plays Mags with Alison Franks as Alison and Carolyn Bardos as Ellie.
(Ellie, opening the door, holding a bottle of champagne) "Come in! Come in! Andiamo! Where's the birthday girl? I have champagne! I have lots of champagne!"
(Mags) "I have Grappa and the cake!"
(Alison) "What's Grappa? Fiona just rung me, she's on her way. Something about her sconces. I love your pumpkin on the porch!"
(Smith) Playwright Smith incorporated four books into the play.
(M. Smith) "Madam Bovary, Anna Karenina, Rabbit Run by John Updike and Excellent Women by Barbara Pym. All of those books, with the exception of Madam Bovary were read in my book group. But the play is a work of fiction and the actions in the play are fictional. I have to make that very, very clear."
(Smith) Playwright Smith says that if her book group members come to the play, they won't recognize themselves as individual characters.
(Smith) "I think what they'll recognize is the dynamic that I tried to create and write about - the way they talk to each other, the way they treat each other, the way they make fun of each other and the way they accept each other. Because that I think is common among groups of women that have a history together. You know, at a certain point you feel free enough to kid each other and yell at each other. That comes after a long period of knowing one another."
(Smith) Actor Darri Colton says that dynamic has carried over to the cast.
(Colton) "What I like is the camaraderie that we've been able to develop between the women who are playing the four women in the book group. It's genuinely fun to be onstage and when you have to laugh, you can really laugh. And when you make the connections with the other women onstage, there's really that kind of caring thing that goes on and for me that's great."
(Smith) And what question do the cast members hear most often?
(Cast) "Did we all read the books? And yes, we did..." (Sound of laughter.)
(Smith) For VPR Backstage, I'm Betty Smith.
"Book Group" at the Eclipse Grange runs through Sunday, September 5.

Stay tuned for TWSNOWGIRLS.com dropping soon.
It's a trick list that most dudes don't have. Kelly Clark became the first woman to land a 1080 in the pipe at the 2012 X Games; Hana Beaman set down a backside 720 off the Baker Road Gap; Elena Hight did an alley-oop double backside rodeo in the pipe; Kimmy Fasani received mad play from her double backie in the backcountry; and Jess Kimura proved why the ladies deserve street cred with her part in Capita's Defenders Of Awesome. Straight up, women's riding is going off.
Getting to this level hasn't been easy. Men have always held the spotlight, partly because more of them ride than women. But whether it's in competition or filming in the streets and backcountry, women aren't slowing down. Here's what the ladies at the forefront say is coming next and how they can keep progressing.
Owning The Arena
According to contest killers like Spencer O'Brien, Jamie Anderson and Kelly Clark, the state of women's snowboarding is at an all-time high. Competitively, the ladies are becoming more aggressive and more focused on pushing their riding. And since many of them are friends, they're constantly pushing each other to progress. Long a fixture on podiums, Olympic halfpipe silver medalist Gretchen Bleiler knows firsthand what it means for women to be involved in big-time events. "I've been a contest rider for more than 10 years now, and I've seen how certain events have helped progress snowboarding," she says. "The exposure that these events bring to riders is huge, and as the riders feed off of one another, this helps progression."
With such clear benefits, it's hard to understand why fewer women are getting invited to events, organizers are slashing prize money, and some women's categories are getting axed all together. Last season, the Dew Tour eliminated women's events from its contest circuit, and fewer women were invited to contests in general.
Spencer O'Brien feels strongly about what this means for the future. "We're very fortunate to be a part of a sport that offers equal prize money to females, but recently events have started to pull away from this standard," she says. "It worries me to see only eight girls competing at Winter X, 6 Star TTR events offering half the prize money, and new events completely cutting the women's side. It's a slippery slope, and I would hate to see women's snowboarding take a step backwards rather than forwards. As amazing of a time it is riding-wise, it's very precarious from an industry standpoint."
With Dew Tour eliminating women's events last season and a smaller field of ladies invited to compete in general, one concern is course format. Are the jumps and setups for slopestyle contests too gnarly for the chicks to hit? O'Brien doesn't think so. "The jumps are getting bigger, but the way they're being built is getting safer. There's no physical reason why we need our own course."
Kimmy Fasani agrees but thinks there should be options. "It all comes down to safety and speed," she says. "If there's enough speed to comfortably clear the jumps, then no, there shouldn't be two courses. However, if contests fail to have smaller options and girls cannot clear the jumps, that's not fair, either."
Two-time TTR champ and slopestyle ruler Jamie Anderson thinks women may have a more difficult time in the contest circuit because of individual goals. "Women tend to think about and care for our bodies more then men," says Jamie. "Instinctually, men are very competitive and thrive off being the best. That's why they progress a lot faster than women."
Some of the challenges the ladies face stems from the way they're wired. Assistant Professor Troyann I. Gentile, who researches sport psychology and exercise physiology at Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky, drops some knowledge. "There are two types of sport goal orientation: Task and ego," he says. "People with task-oriented goals focus on mastery of skills, working hard, developing and improving from one point of time to the next. On the other hand, an ego-oriented person focuses on surpassing or exceeding the performance of others and is not necessarily concerned with best effort. Females are more task-oriented than males." Simply put, it's part of why guys are faster to step up to tricks like triple corks, while women progress differently.
Gentile also suggests that women may be dealing with confidence issues. "Females on average tend to be more affected by criticism, while males are less responsive to criticism of their mistakes than they are to statements that call their skill and ability into question."
While confidence never seems to be much of an issue for halfpipe slayer Kelly Clark, she believes women should follow their own path. "We don't need to fit into the mold made by men," she says. "We need to progress and be supported for who we are."
This doesn't mean that the genders should be divided in competition, since creating exclusive tours and courses would only hurt the sport in the long run. "I think the more women and men separate, the worse it is for the sport," says ex-Olympic snowboarder and 2009 World Halfpipe champ Tricia Byrnes. "Events are best when both sexes are present and it's just snowboarding, not men's snowboarding or women's snowboarding."
But how different are men and women, really, when it comes to boosting out of the pipe or spinning off booters? The general belief is that men are better snowboarders than women because they're stronger, but the gap may not be as big as you'd think. "Females have approximately two-thirds of the potential strength of males," says Gentile. "However, the measurement of strength in absolute terms leads to many wrong ideas about how great that difference is. Based on a "strength to lean body mass" ratio, women are about equal to men."
If the two sexes are supposed to share similar strength, then what can account for men riding at such a higher level than women? Part of the answer: Society. "Our culture traditionally views strength as masculine and a small, frail body as feminine. Girls have historically been discouraged from participating in athletic activities and strength development," Gentile explains. "Such stereotypes, formed early in childhood, can influence behavior and limit women's ability to express their full potential." This crucial fact means that women could be on a similar skill level as men had they been given the opportunity at an earlier age or relieved of such cultural pressures all together.
Men do have some built-in advantages, however. "Men have more testosterone, which can be part of aggression on some level, but I believe the way we socialize our athletes plays a large role in how they act in sport," says Gentile. "I don't think it's either nature or nurture, rather, both nature and nurture. As we see more women participating in sports and being supported to do so, we'll see less of a divide between the sexes."
The idea that women aren't as good as men may never go away in snowboarding, and it's a hurdle that they'll continue to jump over.
"It would be a bit freakish if a woman was beating Shaun White and Mark McMorris in contests," Burton Women's team manager, Susie Floros, says. "Where the level women's professional riding is at, they've gained the respect of their male peers, while still being free to be feminine at the same time."

The other day, I had a delicious lamb tagine. It was a lovingly made, braised dish that took the chef hours to prepare. Though I generally dislike lamb, the chef used Australian lamb (which is a bit less game) and added enough wonderful Moroccan flavours, that I thoroughly enjoyed the dish. Regardless of how delicious I found it, I knew that it would never appeal to my picky son.
So . . .. I created this month's recipe which aims to mimic the flavours of a traditional tagine with a quick and easy preparation and with main ingredients I knew would appeal to my son and to most kids, ground meat and pasta. It was a huge hit!
Moroccan Homemade Hamburger Helper
Yield – 4 servings
Preparation Time – 15 minutes
Cooking Time – 30 minutes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon tumeric
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1 pound ground meat (beef, turkey, chicken, pork, whatever suits your fancy)
- 4 cups hot water (I boil it in a kettle, but you can use hot tap water)
- 1/2 pound short pasta (bow ties, macaroni or other)
- 5-7 dried apricots, roughly chopped (or whatever dried fruit you prefer)
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, lightly toasted on a pan (or chopped nuts)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Carrot Ribbon Salad
- 2 medium carrots
- 1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon cilantro (finely diced)
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- salt and pepper to taste
- Combine the cornstarch and spices in a small bowl.
- Add oil to a large skillet.
- When hot, cook the diced onions until translucent.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned through. Drain excess fat.
- Sprinkle the spices over the meat. Add the hot water and the pasta.
- Stir to thoroughly combine. Cook for 15 minutes or so, until all the water is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the chopped apricots, honey and sesame seeds and cook for an additional minute.
- Serve with a salad. I made the carrot ribbon salad below.
Directions for Carrot Ribbon Salad
- Scrub carrots and then use a peeler to create carrot ribbons.
- I blanche my carrots as my son and husband are allergic to raw carrots, but you can just use them raw.
- In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients into a dressing.
- Pour just enough dressing over the carrots to coat, but not so it drips.
Magda's Frugal Tip: Keep your mouth shut at the dentist — OK, so I don't mean that literally, however, you may want to keep the chatter to a minimum. I have a great relationship with my dental hygienist, we have a lot in common and we both love to chat. However, my hygienist and my dentist and many other professionals, charge by the time spent in their office, not the time that they actually spend working. So, while you are relating the latest funny incident in your life, your dental health professionals cannot actually be doing what they need to do in your mouth and you are paying them to listen to you chat. So, perhaps you should keep you mouth open, but keep the chat to a minimum at least at the dentist's office.

Best Of :: People & Places
Jennine Capó Crucet burst onto the literary scene last year with a voice as fresh and welcome as a whiff of strong Cuban espresso. In her debut collection of stories, fathers spend weekends under their cars, aunts parade like the pope in their new sedans, girls meet predate disaster while removing facial hair, and the parish church is not haunted by Catholic saints or even Yoruban deities but by that patron saint of working-class Cubans, Celia Cruz. The 11 stories in How to Leave Hialeah offer a funny, touching portrayal of growing up in two worlds: one inhabited by working-class exiles tied to the past, the other by their pill-poppin', hard-rockin' offspring. That the universally recognizable characters happen to be Cubans living in Hialeah makes the stories all the more familiar. (You can hear the shuffle of dominoes and smell the fumes on the Palmetto Expressway.) Capó Crucet took off a decade ago for the Ivy League and now lives with her husband in L.A. But don't believe the title. In her heart, she never left.
What you need is a weekend away. But alas, Miamians, you're already living in the very place most Floridians vacation. So where to go? If you answered the Keys, go ahead and line up in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Seven Mile Bridge. (Besides, it's the same pastel motels, just more coconuts.) Instead, steer the car north like you're heading for Disney, but bypass all the mouse-touting exits and that spooky biblical theme park called the Holy Land Experience. Deep in the Ocala National Forest is Wekiwa Springs State Park, where you can spend the weekend camping in a backcountry Florida Shangri-la. Here's the scene: Moss-draped oaks canopy the park's springs, and pristine blue water nestles in natural rock that, thanks to the Floridan Aquifer, is always a cool 72 degrees. As for lodging, choose one of the campsites in the inner circle for the best shade, and kayak the Wekiwa Lagoon for some guaranteed gator watching. Camping costs $24 a night, or for primitive camping, $5 a person. Otherwise, park admission is $6 per car. For noncampers, the park is open 8 a.m. to sunset.
Most TV news talking heads, even the dudes, look and act like failed beauty queens trying to make a second career for themselves. But WSVN's Belkys Nerey bucks that trend. The 42-year-old Emmy winner is a solid, straight-up anchorwoman — telegenic but still intelligent. Born in Havana, Nerey spent her childhood in Long Island before tripping down I-95 to South Florida. Once here, she studied radio and television at Miami Dade College and Florida International University, got her start in cable news, and earned a spot in the Magic City's media parade as cohost of local gossip institution Deco Drive. Today, Nerey is cruising through the post-Deco phase of her career, holding down WSVN's nightly newscasts alongside Craig Stevens. And whether it's a celebrity sex scandal or a political con job, she always delivers the day's stories with appropriate seriousness. Case in point: Unlike some of the lesser faces populating the public airwaves, Nerey never falls prey to that annoying TV anchor tic of flashing a vacant smile after reporting Miami's latest murder.
Without warning, a woman brandishes two bushels of tree limbs and proceeds to beat our friend Lourdes from toes to shoulders. Between sweeps of the soggy branches, the woman dumps bucket after bucket of cold water on our friend. No, she's not swabbing the deck of a fishing boat. She's helping Lourdes relax with platza, one of the traditional spa treatments available at the Russian and Turkish Baths on Miami Beach. The baths attract Miami's ultimate relaxation-seekers, those who are willing to abandon modesty, vanity, and sometimes plain old comfort if it gets them closer to bliss. Women and men in barely-there bathing suits, heads wrapped in towel turbans, endure the volcanic heat of the schvitz as if sweating were a way to absolve past sins. A skeletal older man stands under a heavy waterfall that pounds on his bony shoulders. He raises his head, eyes closed, waiting to be beamed up to the mother ship. Make your way through the rest of the grotto-like rooms and hear the cries of those jumping into the icy polar tank; catch glimpses of red flesh, pores screaming from the extreme heat, and shield your eyes from the meaty woman having the mud hosed off. What are you looking at, you perv? Pass the wet branches and wait your turn. A day pass costs $30, and the baths are open from noon until midnight.
Michael Putney doesn't tweet. He doesn't pop up when we search his name on Facebook. And as far as we can tell, he doesn't blog. No, sir, Michael Putney is decidedly old school, and in this Internet age, we couldn't appreciate him more. While most TV reporters seem to come and go, Putney has been covering local government and politics in South Florida for nearly 30 years. Add to his incisive reporting a hosting gig on This Week in South Florida, one of the few must-watch local programs, and his occasional columns in the Miami Herald (which often upstage the newspaper's regular gaggle of columnists). There are few voices on local airwaves we trust as much as Putney and who report on politics with such authority.
Miami is a town where clubs spit out adjectives like exclusive, VIP, and upscale like an overchewed piece of Juicy Fruit. But WALL Lounge is actually one of the few places that can blow hard without bursting its own bubble. Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, the All American Rejects, Erykah Badu, Swizz Beatz, Jamie Foxx, Jason Binn, and Selita Ebanks are just a few of the celebrities who have walked through WALL's infamous doors. Other guest sightings have been rumored, but unless the press snaps a picture, they're almost impossible to confirm. In fact, it's nearly impossible to get a photo of the place, period. WALL's success lies in its size; it is so boutique it does not merit a VIP section — the lounge itself is the VIP. So if you're lucky enough to get in, keep the video phone ready — you might catch a TMZ-worthy moment.

UK diplomat scoops EU 'brexit' prize
By Benjamin Fox
A UK diplomat whose day job involves promoting British business in Asia's emerging market economies has scooped a €100,000 prize on the country's best economic prospects if it left the EU.
Iain Mansfield, a 30-year-old director of trade and investment at the UK embassy in the Philippines won the €100,000 Brexit Prize on Tuesday (8 April). His paper - A Blueprint for Britain: Openness not Isolation - argues that leaving the bloc in favour of joining the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) could net the UK economy a £1.3 billion increase in GDP per year.

The Brexit prize, was organised by British right-wing think tank the Institute of Economic Affairs, and presented by former finance minister and veteran eurosceptic Nigel Lawson.
Alongside membership of EFTA, which currently includes the likes of Norway and Switzerland, the paper calls for the introduction of a Great Repeal Bill to review and bin burdensome EU regulations.
The most important economic priority for a post-EU UK would be to ensure the maintenance of zero tariffs on trade between the UK and the EU in all areas apart from agriculture, says Mansfield. It also strongly makes the case for the importance of an exit from the single market and taking an a la carte approach to which regulations to sign up to.
However, Mansfield, who stresses that the UK's fate vis a vis the EU is a political rather than an economic decision, does not take a side on whether it should stay in or leave the bloc.
"This paper does not … address the question of whether or not the UK should leave, or advocate for or against such a course of action. What it does do is demonstrate that, in the event of such an exit, there exists a scenario for an open, prosperous and globally engaged UK that is eminently achievable."
But his position as a UK diplomat will raise eyebrows.
The plan argues that the UK could pursue free trade agreements with China and the US and develop new ties with emerging powers in Asia and Latin America.
"Exiting from the EU should be used as an opportunity to embrace openness," argues the paper.
"The outcome would be to accelerate the shifting pattern of UK's exports and total trade away from the EU to the emerging markets, where the majority of the world's growth is located."
It also moots the creation of a formal "EU out-group" of European countries outside the EU but with close trading arrangements, to give them more negotiating clout with the EU.
But eurosceptics may be disappointed by the relatively meagre projected economic benefits from leaving the 28-country bloc. Mansfield's paper indicates that a "worst case scenario" could see a 2.6 percent drop in economic output following a Brexit.
Critics say that membership of EFTA would still require the UK to adopt all of the EU's single market legislation but without having any influence over their design. The UK would also have to make a substantial contribution to the EU's annual budget.

i know that this isn't supposed to be true, esp for female dogs, but im wondering if anyone else feels that spaying calmed their dog?
my aussie girl (5 months) was spayed about 2 weeks ago. while she is still a crazy puppy, she seems much calmer. at first i thought maybe it was because she was recovering but it's been a while now and she seems to be having no problem with healing.
she isn't like a totally different pup, but i feel like im spending a lot less time chasing her around to keep her out of trouble. she is spending more time just laying down next to me and hanging out. she didn't even used to like being pet and now she will lay beside me and turn over to get her chest rubbed.
is she ill? she doesn't have any other symptoms. im not complaining about the change because she is a handful for sure, she just seems a little more mature.
they said that she was just about to go into heat when they spayed her, she had bloody discharge for a few days after her surgery. i dont know if that hormone change effected anything?
just wondering if anyone elses female seemed calmer after?
