Urban gardeners can now access grant funds from the Kansas City Brownfields Program.
The program was set up by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency to help growers identify environmental concerns when it comes to growing in an urban environment. The program offers soil testing and a visit to the site to inform owners about federal and state records of the site's history. If the soil tests positive for contaminates, there are resources available through the program to help remedy the problem. One such fix is adding compost or mulch and constructing raised garden beds.
Andrew Bracker is the Brownfields coordinator for the Urban Redevelopment Division in the Kansas City, Mo., city planning office. He said there are simple things that gardeners can practice to keep and maintain a good garden. One of the simplest is hand-washing.
"The real risk is working with dirt," Bracker said. "Washing your hands, no matter what the soil is like, is always a good idea."
For more information on this program and for tips on how to keep an urban garden safe, read this newsletter at Cultivate KC.

Northwestern Oklahoma State University's Staff Council held its first New Staff Orientation session Jan. 7, where new staff members learned about different aspects of the university and also became acquainted with university procedures and personnel.
Similar to Northwestern's New Faculty Orientation, relevant information for staff was used at the orientation. New staff received handouts about university activities and other inter-office related procedures, as well as the use of university logos and business office procedures.
New staff members who participated in the first New Staff Orientation were Joanne Prewett, Academic Success Center director; Pam Gale, administrative assistant to the vice president for administration; Denise Bay, special events coordinator; Ruby Hibberts, maintenance; Erika Birk, university relations specialist; and Tara Hall, records/admissions assistant in registry.
"This orientation gives employees a chance to put faces with names and services," Rita Castleberry, loan coordinator and chair said. "Our hope will be to offer this service in January and August as most staff work on 12 month contracts, and we felt that holding an orientation twice a year would catch new employees as 'new employees.'"
As new staff members enter Northwestern it is imperative that each individual is on the same page and understands university policies, procedures and available services. New Staff Orientation can answer questions for any concern an employee may come across.
Castleberry said the Council did not want new employees feeling overwhelmed and unsure of who or where to turn to for services.
"This orientation will also help the employee to be successful in his or her job and feel confident completing daily tasks," she said. "Our hope is to familiarize new comers to the Northwestern campus, services available and those who offer them, and to make each new employee feel welcome and at ease when asking questions."
The Council is made up of individuals from different departments on campus. Staff Council officers include Castleberry, Chair-elect Lisa Herning, library assistant; Secretary Shannon Morris, secretary/risk management coordinator. Other elected members are Natalie Miller, assistant certification officer; Angelia Case, media services technician; Karlista Greenfield, financial aid assistant; and Fawn Kingcade, assistant bursar.
"Even though I went to school at Northwestern, there are still services that I did not know were available," Greenfield said. "As a new employee there is so much information given in the first few weeks, it's hard to retain it all. Having someone take time and introduce services available that may not be a part of your immediate job duties was very beneficial."
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

The human society has been understood to be patriarchal in terms of giving credit in various fields, among them the Civil Rights Movement, with ample illustrations of this male crediting drawn from such historical figures as Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. However, a number of outstanding women share this gracious credit afforded their male counterparts in the history of the black race, as their contributions in the Civil Rights movement have duly been noted and credited. This article extensively discusses the contributions of the most outstanding black women in an attempt to better the conditions of blacks among the predominantly white society, as they underwent the hardest of circumstances.
The first woman to be put on the spotlight is Hattie McDaniel. She rose to fame after clinching an Oscar's award, under the Best Supporting Actress category, in the year 1940. Acting as Mammy in Gone with the Wind, a role that has received criticism as looking down the Black race, a more keen analysis of her contribution in the realization of the production gives little importance to the dignity she ascribes to her responsibilities as an actor. The acceptance speech she gave confirmed her potentiality, despite the racist nature of the star actors of Hollywood, the directors, producers and executives.
Fannie Lou Hamer was another such lady, recognized through her endless efforts in the era of the Civil Right Movement. She characteristic of charged speeches that she delivered during the civil rights conferences, and was noted as being devoted to her course. She was behind the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer, in which she aimed at sensitizing the need to allow and validate the say of black voters in the ballot through registration. Racism was on its peak at that time, and the whites would render the Black race powerless by heightening the risks of voter registration with regard to the Blacks, in which case racial discrimination would entail elimination of the Blacks though murder. With such contribution in empowering the Black race, Hamer is remembered for her famous words of self-appreciation, which echo her courage in facing the whites, without fear of being silenced by death.
The next woman whose contribution to the Civil Right Movement has been noted is Ida B. Wells, who dates back to the late 1800s, a period which saw Blacks as slaves to their White masters. Ida was both a journalist and an activist for the Civil Rights. Her contribution is seen in her tireless efforts in the documentation of the South execution of Blacks and in-depth research work on the harsh and violent techniques employed by the Whites as an act of segregation to the Blacks, with intent to silence and rule over the Blacks. Born before the provision of liberty to Blacks by Abraham Lincoln, Wells grew into a vocal and fearless lady despite the acts of execution during those days. Her stand for her belief saw her dismiss a command to offer her seat during a train ride to a white, which saw her being literally ejected from the train, and later filed a case against the train company and won the case. Wells therefore was outspokenly against White segregation of Blacks.
Sojourner Truth, just like Ida B. Wells, was famous for defending her rights in a court of law. She was against slavery of the Blacks and fought for the rights of Women. She and her infant son slid past the cruel hand of slavery at the age of 20s. After being compelled to leave behind her other children, a son of hers was forcefully sold out as a slave to a master residing in Alabama. However, Sojourner Truth tried the Alabama master in a court of law, won the trial and was given her child back, and has been remembered among the few early Blacks to sue Whites and win in courts of law. She is also echoed for her activist work of sensitizing people against slavery of the Blacks, as seen in her popular speech 'Ain't I a Woman?'
The fifth Black Lady noted herein is Vivian Malone, who managed to enroll to the Alabama University, against George Wallace's vows of never admitting Black students to the institution that was seen as a whites' university. In addition to enrolling in the institution as the second Black on record in the university, Malone did graduate from the institution and later secured a job and retired as a renowned director of civil rights and urban affairs. Most notably, the very University of Alabama honored Malone with a doctorate degree of humane letters in the year 2000. Vivian Malone did beat all odds to become an outstanding Black woman among White segregationists as George Wallace.
Harriet Tubman is famous for her anti-slavery deeds which saw her lead close to 70 slaves passing via the Underground Railroad, in an attempt to free them to the Northern part that had freedom from slavery. Though she had escaped slavery at 29, Tubman was compelled to make numerous trips in order to salvage her family members. She further led a number of slaves to a slavery-free Canada with the enactment of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. She proudly tells of her adventures with slaves in the Underground Railroad, where she compares herself to a conductor, only difference being that she never lost a single passenger in her troops!
Elizabeth Eckford was among the nine students in high school who initiated the integration of Central High School in Little Rock, the year 1957 in Arkansas, thus the name Little Rock Nine. A day of disorder saw the white students who had inner cultivated racism put the teen students under aggressive experiences, turning the school experience of their colleagues into a terrible scene. However, Eckford overcame such torture by withstanding all the pressures exerted on her, and proved indeed hard to crack as a rock.
Mary McLeod Bethune left a legacy by founding a university that enjoys national stature and prestige. The Bethune Cookman University has its history as a school that offered instruction in reading skills and basic math. The school advanced to obtain college status over time, and now the institution has achieved university status, with a fully developed sports program and a full-fledged graduate school.
Oprah Winfrey is the last iconic Black woman, who has gone to the books of record for hosting the most popular television show with the largest white female viewers. Oprah has had to put up with weight issues that are not spoken of among the most successful female television show hosts. Her success has been attributed to her self-belief, unlike most successful anchors, business persons or authors. Among her many financial accomplishments is her collection of beautiful residences, such as her penthouse in Chicago and a lovely home in Longshore Lake in Naples, Florida.

Bollywood beckons for banned Akhtar
Not in the script
Akhtar and Asif arrive in Lahore.
Photo: AFP
SOME may suggest Shoaib Akhtar's cricketing career has been one long dress rehearsal for an entry into the acting world. And should Pakistan's three-man drugs tribunal ban the veteran of 42 Tests and 133 one-dayers for six months - rubbing him out of the Champions Trophy and the World Cup - that may prove to be the case.
The Pakistan Cricket Board is expected to name a three-man panel, consisting of a former player (presumably not Imran Khan), a doctor (presumably not Akhtar's) and a lawyer (see doctor), to hear the case into Akhtar and fast-bowling partner Mohammad Asif, both of whom tested positive to nandrolone.
The panel will then decide on a punishment - sources in Pakistan suggesting the likely ban could be between three and six months, although it could extend to two years. The PCB chairman, Nasim Ashraf, last night said his board took a zero-tolerance approach to drugs but added the players' B samples would be tested before their fates were decided.
Should the ban extend to six months, thus ruling Akhtar out of the Champions Trophy and the World Cup, many fear Akhtar will be lost to cricket, aged 31.
Not noted for his devotion to training, Akhtar seems to be an outside chance, at best, of resuming his career beyond the World Cup, especially considering his creaky back and troublesome hamstring.
The next step, then, could well be a shift into acting. Just last year, Akhtar turned down a leading role in the successful Bollywood film Gangsters after being approached by high-profile producer Mahesh Bhatt. One of his closest friends in India, Salman Khan, is a Bollywood heart-throb and one of Indian film's biggest drawcards. And Akhtar's new agent is understood to be a former model with links to the acting world.
On the surface, a move into acting does not seem a major leap for Akhtar, who has made as many headlines for his activities off the field as his performances on it. On his latest tour of Australia with the Pakistan team, Akhtar was spotted in nightclubs across the country, invariably in glamorous company, while he was said to be battling back and hamstring injuries.
Last year, it was much the same in England, when injury ruled Akhtar out of Worcestershire's tour match against Australia, only for the fast bowler to show up in several of Worcester's premier nightspots. Again, no guesses as to the aesthetic calibre of the company he was keeping.
Akhtar has even begun trading off this image. In a recent Pepsi commercial on Pakistani television, he is depicted rushing back from a nightclub - at which he was in glamorous company, of course - to the team hotel on a motorcycle. Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, though, catches his fast bowler out on account of a lipstick stain on a cup by his bed. Real life, it seems, makes for the best stories.
And Akhtar would certainly bring credible real-life experience to any movie role, having played through the match-fixing affair that resulted in several teammates receiving life bans, then played out a career that has lurched from front page to back in a manner only Shane Warne can truly appreciate.
Bhatt, in approaching Akhtar for the role of Daya, a charismatic criminal on the run in Mauritius, Dubai and Seoul, in Gangsters last year, described the "Rawalpindi Express" as a flamboyant and emotional man with animal magnetism and "the vulnerability of a child". Even without the benefit of watching a screen test, his Pakistan teammates would almost certainly agree, having charted his nine-year international career.
Take this comment from Ramiz Raja, a former player and PCB chief executive writing in Pakistan's The Nation newspaper on Tuesday.
"If it only had been Shoaib Akhtar [testing positive], I would have straight away given the guilty verdict for he has on many an occasion kept his self-interest and fitness regimen ahead of the team's interest," Raja wrote.
Other former players, including Imran and Javed Miandad, were critical of the positive results being made public.
"I have been saying that all the ills of Pakistan cricket are due to lack of discipline," Javed said. "This shows we have not recovered from the first-ever forfeit-Test jolt, the ball-tampering allegations and the captaincy row."
But is it too late to save Akhtar's career, if not from suspension then from his own apathy and outside interests? Time will tell. But one thing seems certain - he is sure to meet Brett Lee, his old Mosman teammate, again, either on the field or on a Bollywood set; the Australian also a target of Indian directors.

Need to Relocate? 6 Tips to Help the Transition Go Smoothly For Employees
Posted on March 7, 2013
When it's time for a business to relocate, there's a lot to consider. One thing that absolutely cannot be lost in the flurry of lease signings and movers' fees is the effect the move will have on a company's employees.
Whether the company is moving to the neighboring city or across the country, uprooting people's lives comes with responsibilities. Company owners who request their employees relocate should prepare for the impacts the move will take on their workforce. Employees that feel cared for have an easier time adjusting, and perform much better at work. Here are a few ways to show employees that management understands and appreciates the sacrifices they're making.
1. Help Pay for Moving Expenses
Moving is expensive, and employees appreciate (and may demand) some help in covering the moving costs. This might include reimbursement for: packing, transporting, and storing household goods, shipping a car and traveling to the destination. All of these items should be written into a company relocation policy. Determine what kind of moving services the company is willing to pay for. Will the company cover packers, movers and door-to-door service, or will it stop at offering packing containers? These policies make a big difference in the company's estimated moving costs.
2. Offer House-Finding Resources
Whether employees are looking to rent or buy, it's beneficial for the company to offer resources such as a rental or real estate agent, a temporary housing stipend, or even offer to pay for the cost of sales commission on their old and new homes. However, before making any ironclad offers, check whether or not any employees are underwater on their mortgages to avoid unreasonably large moving bills.
Additionally, consider compiling a relocation packet to assist employees through the moving process. Include information such as the following:
• Cost of living expense breakdown
• Guide to the neighborhoods
• Transit and walkability information for each neighborhood
• School district information
• Safety/crime information
• Mortgage, tax, and other house-buying options/facts
Compiling this information can make the transition much easier for employees. A thorough relocation packet reduces work for employees and facilitates their search to find a great fit in the new city. It's best to make this packet visual, as these details can easily become overwhelming. Many real estate sites have information like this right on their listing pages, such as this one from Zillow.com's Houston area. Remember, happy employees make for a smoother transition. Any extra information that management can provide to employees should make them feel more comfortable with the move.
3. Provide an Adjustment Bonus
Many companies provide adjustment bonuses to their relocating employees to help ease the transition. This could cover anything from utilities to vehicle registration, mail transfers or a few free meals on the town. While there are a few standard provisions, don't hesitate to throw in a few inexpensive but unexpected freebies, such as movie passes or cupcake coupons. Just a little extra gift should help employees feel cared for. Even better, hire a relocation consultant to welcome employees to their new home and smooth their transition.
4. Consider Cost of Living
If the company is going to be moving to a destination with a higher cost of living, increasing employee salaries is necessary. Management could also offer vouchers to certain services that will be increasing in cost, such as daycare or gym memberships. Management should not lower salaries if the company is moving to a place with a lower cost of living. Salary reductions may feel like punishment for employees and might discourage them from staying with the company. Instead, keep salaries where they are and use the lower cost of living as incentive.
5. Research Tax Liability
New places may come with new tax liabilities and increased burdens for employees. Management should team up with finance or accounting departments to prepare answers for employee questions on this topic, including details on the new tax burden and available tax credits to claim for relocating. While paying for tax liabilities may not be possible all at once, consider negotiating with employees to pay one portion during one tax year and another portion during the next to spread out the financial pinch.
6. Be Ready to Negotiate
The savvy employee will know to negotiate costs. Designate areas within the relocation clauses to negotiate, and always withhold a bonus to throw in as a surprise gift. Be prepared to pay or give extra to more senior employees, as well as those with essential and rare skills.
No business could exist without its employees. Though some percentage of the workforce is lost in relocation, most employees will stay if they feel like valued assets to the company. Therefore, offer incentives to entice employees to stay loyal to the company. It's a good investment and the right thing to do.

Sometimes we really need to seek advice from others to enhance our knowledge about other things. But we need to consider them because sometimes they are a busy people. Make your conversation meaningful and avoid being careless on asking questions. It's true that we should make an effort to give as much as you get. Just like give and take.

Begins at 00:40: This week, civil rights leaders along with Presidents Bush, Carter, Clinton and Obama are gathered in Austin, Texas to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. As President Obama speaks at that conference, we look at Obama's civil rights legacy. Lonnie Bunch, founding director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, weighs in.
Begins at 21:30: It turns out Russia was not totally forthcoming in the wake of the Boston Marathon Bombing a year ago. The Russians told the FBI that bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a strong believer in radical Islam who appeared to have been transformed in 2010. But what Russian authorities did not share until after the bombing was a telephone intercept in which Tsarnaev actually discussed Jihad with his mother. Michael Schmidt, a reporter for our partner The New York Times, explains.

BlackBerry Unveils Revamped OS, New Devices
To quote myself:
"The BlackBerry 10 experience can definitely compete with the popular iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S3 in the productivity category—neither of which have a more seamless user experience than what BlackBerry has just announced. But did BlackBerry take too long to get folks to switch from other platforms?"
That's the last line of my latest Black Enterprise piece dishing out the official details of the BlackBerry 10 Operating System and its two new devices: The Z10 (full touch screen) and the Q10 (physical QWERTY keyboard).
Click here to check out the piece, then let me know what think – Can BlackBerry [honestly] make a comeback, or is it too much too late?

Rangers like Cody Ross, but Red Sox say they won't sell (and that all is well)
Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine insisted Friday that all is well with his team, despite the below-.500 record that got worse with a 10-3 loss to the Yankees. The Red Sox still say they're not sellers. Other teams aren't so sure. If the Red Sox do sell, the Rangers would be interested in Cody Ross.
NEW YORK -- Bobby Valentine insisted Friday that all is well with the Red Sox.
"I think we're headed in the right direction," Valentine said. "We're five games over .500 since [April 21]. I think we can build on it and get to 10, 15, 20 games over."
Uh, Bobby, now you're just four games over .500 since April 21, after a 10-3 Friday night loss to the Yankees. And now 8-14 this month, and 1-6 in your last seven games.
Now you're 11 1/2 games behind the first-place Yankees.
And you're headed in the right direction?
Do you believe that? More importantly, do Valentine and his bosses actually believe that?
And will they still believe it if the rest of this series against the Yankees goes the way Friday's game did?
Rival teams aren't sure. While general manager Ben Cherington still says he can't see the Red Sox becoming sellers, other teams are at least preparing for that possibility.
The Rangers have long been interested in Cody Ross as a right-handed bat (think Jeff Francoeur's role on the 2010 Rangers). The Red Sox haven't to this point shown an interest in moving Ross, but the Rangers did have a couple of scouts at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.
If the Red Sox sold, the Rangers or other teams could also be interested in some of their relievers.
And then there's the Josh Beckett question.
The Red Sox have reportedly taken some phone calls on Beckett. But Beckett has performed poorly (5-9, 4.57 in his 17 starts this year), and he has a huge contract ($15.75 million this year, and for each of the next two years, as well).
Teams would have more interest in Jon Lester, even though his numbers are even worse than Beckett's. But the belief is that the Red Sox are not at all interested in trading him.
Valentine, of course, expressed confidence that Beckett and Lester would be fine.
"They're healthy, and throwing the ball well," he said.
All is well, right? No problems at all, right?

Ever since they introduced purchasing stores into the AC series it has become an obsession of mine to buy all of them before proceeding too far into the game, in the week that has passed since I last wrote I have only progressed maybe 5% in the story, however my monopoly on the business's of Constantinople is nearly complete(at least as far as the ones that I am not locked out of) just a few landmarks left to go. To me this just makes common sense, if you want all of the new armor and weapons that are sure to come your way you are going to need the cash flow, so why not focus on that first and never have to worry about waiting for the next bank deposit to hit. Last night I left the console on while the wife and I watched the Notre Dame game, every commercial break I would switch back to AC collect my earnings and then continue watching the game. By the time the game was over I had amassed a small fortune of roughly 300k, with a decent amount of savings in hand I can now proceed with the stabbing of the backs.
As a side thought ...... why is there no achievement for winning the fight club! Twenty minutes of my life that I'll never get back.
With my busy schedule I rarely if ever buy games when they come out, with the exceptions being sports games (NCAA Football, Madden & Fifa) I have way to many backlogged games that I need to finish first, this week however I will certainly be buying GTA 5 when it comes out, I have school in the evenings and work a 40+ hour job so I anticipate that I won't get to play a decent amount of it until Friday, and even then not until the kids are in bed. My kids are all under the age of 4 and the last thing I need is one of my sons going into preschool and attempting to carjack a power wheel. My level of excitement for this game is immeasurable I logged more hours in San Andres than I have in Skyrim, and I refused to play GTA 4 due to the horrendous camera angle while driving, it completely ruined the game for me so this will be my first GTA fix in almost 7 years.

It probably has happened to all of us. We go to a bar or a Christmas party and get a little drunk and the next thing you know you have spent the night with that person who everyone avoids due to either smell, dandruff, or looks. You then spend the next month praying to everything that is holy that no one ever finds out and do your best to never look into the eye of that person. It happens. It's not fun, but you darn well make sure that in the future that you avoid that spiked punch from accounting because despite the fancy name it is just Kool-Aid and Everclear.
What you never do, no matter what, is go back for another round with the unmentionable. No matter how lonely you are and no matter how desperate you are, you just never make that phone call. Unless of course you are Britney Spears. The fact that she went back for a second round with JR Rotem is enough to show me she needs rehab. Forget everything else. If there is something inside your head that says, "It's 2am, but I think I will give JR a call and see if we can go spend 3 hours in a hotel room together having sex, and get caught by the pap" then it is time for rehab.
The only saving grace is that she did take him to a hotel room instead of her house. The only bad part is that no matter how you spin it, going to a hotel at 230am and leaving 3 hours later means either sex or drugs. I think it is a toss up as to which makes Britney look better in this situation.

Ivan, please accept my deepest sypmathy on Kathleen's death. She and I became friends when she worked at ODOT, but I lost track of her after Tom died. I think of her often and I am sadden that she is gone and I will never hear her laughter again.

From Our Editors
Introduced to the community under the name Revolve Aerial Dance, Aerial Arts of Utah changed hands when the original owner moved back to her hometown. It passed to Annie Kocherhans and Deborah Eppstein, two longtime local business owners who loved the exercise form so much that they decided they had to keep the business alive. To help them, they assembled a team of teachers with a slew of qualifications that includes a degree from the New England Center for Circus Arts and a master of fine arts in modern dance.
Staffers teach nine classes in the aerial and semi-aerial arts, including courses that focus on the introductory basics, acroyoga, and aerial silks. They also teach the fundamentals to kids aged 7–12 and offer teen-specific classes that cover age-appropriate topics, such as learning how to gracefully catapult into the sunroof of Justin Bieber's limo. When not instructing aspiring flyers in circus skills, the team performs in cities throughout Utah, demonstrating how to use the trapeze, silks, and the tippy lyra—also known as a flying hoop.

'The Wire' Re-imagined as Illustrated Victorian Novel: Omar Comin' on Dickensian Streets
Sean Michael Robinson and Joy Delyria, in their contribution to "The Wire" roundtable over at Noah Berlatsky's Hooded Utilitarian, have performed a pop culture criticism triple gainer by thoroughly re-imagining David Simon's The Wire as a Victorian-era serialized novel.
Often compared to Dickens by critics, The Wire is a critically-lauded, five season television series that focuses on the drug war in Baltimore and the systemic corruption and failure of urban institutions. Robinson and Delyria take the comparison ten steps further, deftly re-contextualizing the gritty crime drama in the equally-gritty actual Dickensian era."There are few works of greater scope or structural genius than the series of fiction pieces by Horatio Bucklesby Ogden, collectively known as The Wire," they write, then later continue:
"The Wire began syndication in 1846, and was published in 60 installments over the course of six years. Each installment was 30 pages, featuring covers and illustrations by Baxter "Bubz" Black, and selling for one shilling each. After the final installment, The Wire became available in a five volume set, departing from the traditional three."
Their article comes complete with examples of Bubz's illustrations, including the masterpiece reprinted below. Click through to Hooded Utilitarian for more illustrations, excerpts from the "original" Victorian text, and a spot-on analysis of how the brilliant novel The Wire clearly influenced Dickens' more socially conscious works.
(Conflict of Interest Note: I am also a participant in Hooded Utilitarian's roundtable on The Wire. I do not think, though, that this disqualifies me from judging the below image as Totally Freakin' Awesome.)

SAN FRANCISCO –– Ecast has created an interactive digital media product intended to boost its presence in markets outside the coin-op realm. The new Ecast IQ is based on the large-screen format of the EQ jukebox (see story here), but does not incorporate music and payment components. It was unveiled last month at the KioskCom Self Service Show in New York City as an informational and promotional device for retail, hotel and sports venues.
While the Ecast IQ borrows its ultramodern look and inventive three-part display area from the EQ, the resemblance ends there, the company said. "The IQ is completely different in purpose and content," they explained. "It is for promotional and informational use – not music – in these new markets. Because it does not accept currency or contain a preamp, it will not be going into bars and nightclubs."
Applications for the IQ might include service as a virtual hotel concierge located in a hotel lobby, where consumers can view local maps, make restaurant reservations or show photos from a recent event. It could also serve as a virtual assistant inside a retail store, where consumers could obtain detailed product reviews or view video demos. At a sports arena, the IQ might be the "info-tainment center," where fans could display photos of themselves in the stands or look up nearby restaurants for post-event dining.
"The EQ is the most exciting thing to happen to the jukebox industry in a decade and is the biggest symbol of our dedication to the coin-op market," said Ecast chief executive John Taylor, who underscored that professional operators remain the company's exclusive channel to bars and taverns. "It is important that operators understand the Ecast IQ does not in anyway compete with the EQ."
According to Taylor, expansion into new markets could also indirectly benefit operators. As a result of higher product volumes anticipated from these markets, Ecast already has aggressively priced the EQ for coin-op, he said. And these markets may eventually lead to new opportunities for operators.
"With this move, we're getting the Ecast name out there," Taylor summed up. "When people see a touchscreen device, we want them to say, 'We want an Ecast!' And that would be good news for Ecast, our hardware partners and our operators."
The EQ jukebox and IQ touchscreen media product are built with vertically oriented 40-in. flat-panel touchscreens offering 1080p high-definition image resolution, and are powered by Ecast's media platform. The form factor measures 50.25 ins. H. by 24.5 ins. W. by 7.5 ins. D. (faceplate to wall bracket). The EQ jukebox weighs approximately 110 lbs.

It is with great sadness that we publish the obituary of Jeanne Briggs, who for many years improved the Squire newspaper with her wit and her wonderful recipes. She was much more to our newspaper family than a columnist and was a great friend, always thinking of new features for the paper and helping out with advice and support. For quite a time Jeanne was on the Squire's Board of Directors, where decisions about newspaper policy and ideas for the future of the publication were discussed and decided upon.
Jeanne was always a source of delight in her interaction with other members of the newspaper family. When our long-term graphic designer planned her wedding, Jeanne stepped right up, offering to graciously host her bachelorette party. Inviting friends into her home and kitchen was something Jeanne did often and superbly, and over the years she had the Squire staff in for holiday gatherings, special occasions, or just for fun.
The people who worked at the paper during the years Jeanne wrote her cooking column always looked forward to her visits to the office. She was universally loved and often brought in gifts of her delicious, creative cooking. Always laughing, always with a joke, people walking into the office were likely to hear her lovely laugh before they heard anything else.
She also had many wonderful and dear friends around town, and it is likely she never knew someone who didn't love her. It is hard to think such a vibrant, cheerful and loving person is gone. The Squire newspaper, our staff join those who will miss Jeanne. We are all diminished by her loss.

obakasan, on 16 May 2012 - 06:49 PM, said:
Okay, I see what you are indicating. The parking spaces within the driveway "loop" are indeed all not much farther away from the entrances (for main programming), yet far enough away to make an impact on the crowd. Although we'll still be having to deal with people walking back and forth from one side of the "loop" to the other. That may be a point of resistance for approval as far as the hotel in concerned as the foot traffic would be going right across the part of the driveway that the shuttle buses, arriving/departing guest, etc use. Safety concerns being a major one of those reasons. Another reason is that is also the side of the entryway where the doorman's outside station/desk is located and they may not be happy about a smoking area nearby (you'd need to use the parking spaces farthest away from the entry).
I haven't kept up on the hooka situation. If those are still a problem in terms of taking up space, could it at least be suggested they move elsewhere? There is a difference between wanting a close area for a quick smoke and a "social gathering" smoke.
Would it be viable to ask that "social group" smokers locate themselves somewhere else and for the rest of us to campaign to have a temporary (ACen weekend only) parking lot spot?
Another "catch" here is just who is using those parking spaces... If the hotel has some sort of vested interest in reserving them for someone specific or not. Plus the resident duck that hangs around those spaces may not like it either. Quack.
Those spaces are in use and there is a need to keep them.

Kamui Kobayashi's efforts to secure a seat for next year failed with the Japanese driver issuing a statement on Monday that he has now shifted his focus to return to Formula 1 in 2014.
Donation for the ousted Sauber driver poured in after a website was set up to collect funds from fans and well-wishers, a campaign which has now been stopped by the 26-year-old, confirming that he wasn't able to find a seat for the 2013 season.
"I must mention this that since the donation started, it has become quite big news in Japan," Kobayashi said. "And because of your big support, it gave huge influences to some of Japanese companies and I started receiving good support from them.
"And I was in the position to bring a budget of €8 million at least. If you could imagine the time I had, it was overwhelming reaction and it shows there still is a great potential from Japanese companies," he pointed out.
"Unfortunately, the time was still short and I am not able to secure the seat with competitive F1 team for 2013. I have to admit that it is very sad and feel sorry for fans and Japanese companies who supported me. But I am still confident to make it happen in 2014," he said.
Kobayashi added that he will keep the money to secure a likely seat in the future clarifying that he has "no interests to race any other categories".

On the Energy Savers Blog, we talk a lot about what you, our readers, can do to make your homes, workplaces, and vehicles more energy efficient. We love to hear from you about what you think about some of the energy-saving tips we pass along and the stories we tell about our own projects and experiences. But I thought our readers might also like to have a peek at one of the ways that federal agencies are leading by example and saving money by saving energy.
Federal agencies are creating jobs and reducing energy costs at federal facilities through energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs). ESPCs are designed to help the federal government save energy and water and increase the use of clean, renewable energy—all at no cost to the taxpayer. An ESPC is a partnership between a federal agency and an energy service company (ESCO). The ESCO conducts a comprehensive energy assessment for the federal facility and identifies improvements to save energy. In consultation with the federal agency, the ESCO designs a project that meets the agency's needs and arranges the necessary financing from the private sector. The savings on utility bills created through the facility upgrades pay for the project over the term of the contract. After the contract ends, all additional cost savings accrue to the agency. For more information on energy savings performance contracts, visit the ESPC home page.
For example, on Monday, the Energy Department announced a new ESPC awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System to NORESCO, LLC. The project will leverage more than $15 million in private sector investments for energy savings and infrastructure improvements at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center, the Sepulveda VA Ambulatory Care Center, and the Los Angeles VA Ambulatory Care Center. The contract includes retrofitting lighting, installing direct digital HVAC controls, switching to more efficient ventilation systems, and installing timers on individual window air conditioning units.
The combination of retrofits and upgrades will save the facilities nearly 65 billion Btu per year. In dollar terms, the projects are expected to save at least $24 million in energy costs over the life of the 19-year contract. The savings on utility bills created through the facility upgrades will be used to pay for the project over the term of the contract, and the VA will continue to save energy and money after the contract term has ended.
This project supports the Presidential Memorandum—Implementation of Energy Savings Projects and Performance-Based Contracting for energy savings, which commits the federal government to enter into a minimum of $2 billion in performance-based contracts to improve federal building energy efficiency over the next two years, at no cost to the taxpayer. The White House press release on the memo announced that the investments will save billions in energy costs, promote energy independence, and create tens of thousands of jobs in the hard-hit construction sector, according to independent estimates.
More today than ever before, federal agencies are using ESPCs to help America secure its energy future.
Eric Barendsen is a communications specialist and former Presidential Management Fellow with EERE's Communications and Outreach office in Washington, D.C.

When Corey Cooper and A.J. Long arrived as early enrollees last weekend, there was a notable name absent from those moving in. Defensive tackle Wayne Williams had not moved in with Cooper and Long.
Williams was supposed to arrive over last summer to be part of the 2013 Syracuse Orange. However, academic issues stood in the way and he was unable to enroll. Fast forward to his absence last weekend and many feared the same story was revisited.
Syracuse fans then received good news Friday morning. Wayne Williams' name appeared in the student directory, and CuseNation.com received confirmation that Williams is indeed on campus and taking classes.
Williams addition to the team is a big one, literally and figuratively. With the loss of Jay Bromley, Syracuse is looking for interior defensive linemen to step up. Williams joining the Orange now allows him to get acclimated to his new home and the defensive system.

I hesitated a lot between opencart and pretashop but after reading this article http://blog.academy-ecommerce.com/prestashop-en-exces-de-vitesse (article in French, but google translation will help you easily understand), I think my choice will be limited to opencart now. This article is interesting on prestashop bad choice ….. What do you think? what inconvient of opencart?
As for me, both platforms are good. Everything depends on your skills and needs.
- Has a lot of features
- Fast and not resource consuming
- Large number of extensions, modules and add-ons
- Support available
- Unlimited number of categories and products
- Supports physical products & downloads
- Supports SSL (https) encryption
- Multi-store support
You can find a good comparison of those two shopping carts [link removed] here.

A billboard in our town urges parents to talk to with their kids. This is something that no one can object to, and we most certainly do not. But the reason they cite for talking to your kids was quite a striking observation. This billboard said they been drinking in high school is highly indicative of binge drinking in college. Huh.
For our part, we think that getting hammered on Monday is highly indicative of getting plastered on Friday. And perhaps the following Monday as well.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Albany coach Will Brown promised his Great Danes would be aggressive against fifth-ranked Syracuse. They were, and the Orange just took the challenge in stride.
Kris Joseph and James Southerland each scored 19 points, and Syracuse beat upstate New York foe Albany 98-74 in the NIT Season Tipoff on Tuesday night.
The Orange (3-0) beat Manhattan 92-56 in the first round on Monday night with a high-tempo attack that produced 42 points on the fast break, while the reserves contributed 50 points. This time they dominated the boards 47-29 and scored 60 points in the paint with the bench contributing 49 points.
"We out-rebounded by 18. That's a team effort," said 6-foot-10 Baye Keita, who had a career-high 14 points on 6 of 6 shooting. "Everybody was going to the glass."
In the end, it didn't matter that Albany (1-2) made 26 of 33 free throws. The Great Danes struggled to run their normal offense because Syracuse was bigger and because the Orange's four guards combined for 19 assists with only three turnovers. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim used 11 players in the game, and 10 had at least 14 minutes.
|NIT Season Tip-Off
Southerland's total also was a career high. He was 8 of 12 from the field and 3 of 4 behind the arc.
"I was basically thinking on to the next play because when you're in scoring mode, you're not really satisfied with the points you had in the past," said Southerland, who had 14 points in the first half. "You're just trying to get more, and help the team out in any way possible."
Syracuse advanced to the tournament semifinals on Wednesday night against Virginia Tech (3-0) in New York.
Junior college transfer Gerardo Suero had a season-high 31 points, Logan Aronhalt added 20 and Mike Black had 11 for the Great Danes.
Suero had 16 points in the first half, going 9 for 9 from the foul line, and the game was tied three times in the first 8 minutes before the Orange gradually assumed control.
"That first half, we got to a guy but we didn't hit a guy and drive a guy," Brown said. "We tried to get our guys to understand that we're not getting height rebounds against them. They're so darn athletic that if you don't get the rebound you've got to make sure your guy doesn't get the rebound.
"But they're big at every position," Brown said. "When their point guards and off guards are as big as our power forwards, it's not a good formula for success for us. The length is ridiculous."
Syracuse had 16 second-chance points in the opening half, outrebounding the Great Danes 28-13 -- 15-5 on the offensive glass.
After Suero tied the game at 16 with a pair of free throws at 12:52, Syracuse took off on a 14-2 run.
Freshman guard Michael Carter-Williams began the spurt by setting up 7-foot Fab Melo for an easy lay-in. Melo converted a follow the next time down the floor, and Southerland hit a 3-pointer from the right corner and followed with another 3 after a miss by Dion Waiters. Melo completed the surge by sending Joseph in for a short jumper in the lane.
When the Great Danes tried to penetrate, they had trouble making it through all those long arms. Keita, Melo's partner in the paint, registered a block on Sam Rowley, hit a layup at the other end then swatted away a shot in the lane by Suero on Albany's next trip down the court. The frustration was visible on Suero's face as he stared down at the court.
"They were so big. I like to penetrate, and kick it out to my teammate. I couldn't do that," Suero said. "I was getting mad."
Still, the Danes were in the game. Black fed Suero for a 3 from the right wing and Aronhalt drained another from long range to pull Albany to 38-29 with 6:03 to go, but Waiters scored six points and Joseph had five as the Orange closed the half with a 13-5 surge for a 51-34 lead.
A 3-pointer by Scoop Jardine and Jardine's lob to Brandon Triche on consecutive possessions in the second half gave the Orange a 62-37 advantage at 16:03. They led by as many as 29.
"Syracuse is top five in the country for a reason," Black said. "They're tremendously big. It's kind of hard to get the passing angles. We just wanted to compete out there and that's what we did. I remember telling Coach Brown I couldn't see, especially in the middle."

I went in several months ago and have had 3 Fraxel Restore Treatments, at first I saw immediate results, my skin appeared smoother, the acne scarring appeared less noticeable but after about 3-6months post treatment, my skin looks no better, I've also noticed more scarring, which I believe was caused by the fraxel laser. I feel I've wasted $4,000 for what?
I'm going in today for my 4th treatment, only because it was pre-paid for, hoping that I will see some improvement.

The US EPA research facility in Raleigh, NC uses our solar street lights on the entrance road leading into the facility. The original installation cost for utility extension and materials was over 2 million, and then enduring monthly utility charges. An alternate solution of solar lighting was provided at the total cost of 850 thousand with minimal maintenance and zero utility cost. The project was installed in 2001 and has since had one round of battery and two rounds of lamp replacements. The entrance sign is also illuminated using solar power.

Glass rubber cover, windshield & rear window (E39)

Took McCandless' advice and did it this morning. Picked up the rubber molding (cover) at the stealership ($45). The parts guy warned me that it should be professionally replaced and that the windshield should be removed to be done properly(of course, at that dealership). He's probably right but I did it anyway. I hate giving away $100 bills.
Anyway, my molding was really bad and it took about an hour to remove all of it. Cleaned the track and surrounding area thoroughly. The new molding was very easy to put in, finished that in 3 minutes.
All in all a VERY easy fix and pretty cheap too. Yes, BMW should do something about such a blatant flaw but that time may never come.
Make sure you look at how the old one comes out, it makes putting the new in that much easier.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Was part of your debt forgiven?
Did you receive 1099-C or any other forms? Please clarify?
If you sell short - means the sale for less than the debt outstanding that is secured by the property - reportable on 1099-S - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099s.pdf - should be treated as disposition of the property at the sale price.
The foreclosure itself - reportable on 1099-A - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099a.pdf should be treated as disposition of the property at fair market value.
If the creditor sells the property after foreclosure - the person may receive both these forms.
If the creditor decides that the debt may not be collected - all or part of the debt may be forgiven. The amount of debt forgiven reportable on 1099-C - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099c.pdf - generally is taxable, unless an insolvency exemption apply -- you should file a form 982 - to proof your insolvency - and might exclude all or part of canceled debt from taxable income.
This is true even if you did not file for bankruptcy.
Please see the IRS Publication 908 Bankruptcy Tax Guide - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p908.pdf - with example of the form 982 on the last page.
The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 signed at the end of the last year provides additional relief - http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-3648 that allows exclusion of income realized as a result of modification of the terms of the mortgage, or foreclosure on your principal residence.
The Act applies to qualified debt forgiven in 2007, 2008 or 2009 - and only to forgiven or canceled debt used to buy, build or substantially improve your principal residence, or to refinance debt incurred for those purposes.
The amount of debt forgiven still must be reported on Form 982 and the Form 982 must be attached to your tax return.
Please be advised that you have only 6 month after tax return is due to file 982 form.
If that is not your primary residence - The Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 would not help,
but an insolvency exemption still may be used -- you should file a form 982 - to proof your insolvency - and might exclude all or part of canceled debt from your taxable income.
Please be aware if you have not timely file the form 982 with your tax return - you still have 6 more month to add it.
Unfortunately - the answer is not accepted.
I would appreciate you accept it now - as that is the only way I would be credited.
If there is any problem - please email customer service at [email protected].
