LISTEN: Carrie Underwood & Brad Paisley Joke About Lawsuit With 'High Life'
Listen to Brad Paisley Radio on iHeartRadio | Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio
Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley are laughing all the way to the bank right now. Following last year's bogus lawsuit - in which songwriter Amy Bowen (known professionally as Lizza Connor) claims the superstars ripped off her own material for their No. 1 hit "Remind Me" - the two singers take direct aim at the creatively concocted story with a new song called "High Life."
Lifted from Paisley's forthcoming album Moonshine In The Trunk, the mid-tempo track doesn't go about the topic subtly. "I heard a song a couple months ago. It was Carrie Underwood on the radio," he croons on the second verse. "It reminded me of a poem my brother wrote back in second grade. I know she didn't steal it, but so what…"
But, oh no, it doesn't stop there: "We lawyered up and sued her butt. These days we figure we pretty much get paid to go away."
"High Life" is constructed as a story-song, a type of structure that has become prevalent in country music's rich history, and also includes references to Chik-Fil-A, trampolines and more. You can listen to the tune below.
In case you missed the lawsuit shenanigans, here is a brief recap: Bowen, allegedly composed a song (also called "Remind Me") in 2008. She then performed the song at a writers-round workshop, at which John Kelley Lovelace and Charles DuBois attended. A few years pass, and Paisley, DuBois and Lovelace meet for a songwriting session and pen their own "Remind Me"; it was later recorded in early 2011. Years later, after Paisley and Underwood's hit went platinum and became a huge hit at radio, Bowen decides it's time to get her moneys worth, ultimately taking her claims to federal court. In December 2013, Judge Aleta Trauger ruled for the lawsuit to move forward, stating "Bowen has plausibly shown that, taken in combination, the lyrics and associated melodies, intonations, and usage could be sufficiently original to constitute protectable material." [Quote via Hollywood Reporter]
The two singers later denied these claims of copyright infringement, in papers via RadarOnline. "Defendants (Paisley and Underwood) deny any wrongful conduct, omissions, infringement or any other activities alleged by Plaintiff in this District or elsewhere or that they are liable to the Plaintiff for any claims," the response reads.
Of course, this doesn't mean Paisley and Underwood are guilty, but they could face trial at some point. Or maybe not.
Previously, Underwood and Paisley have also performed together on "Oh Love," from Paisley's 2007-released 5th Gear.

Národní divadlo
The National Theatre is one of the most memorable buildings not only in Prague but in the whole of the Czech Republic.
The foundation stone was laid amid great festivity on 16 May 1868. It was built according to the plans of the architect Josef Zitek in the North Italian Late Renaissance style. The first performance took place here in July 1881. In August of the same year, before it was opened for the public, the theatre burnt down.
The restoration of the theatre was financed with the help of the whole nation. It was reopened on 18 Novemer 1883.

Disney plans to introduce lesbian moms on popular TV show
(Billy Hallowell) Recently, TheBlaze told you about "The Fosters," an ABC Family television show featuring two, lesbian foster moms. The program has sparked debate, particularly because of its placement on a family-friendly network. And now it appears that the Disney Channel, a well-known network for children, will also be weaving gay characters into its widely-watched program, "Good Luck Charlie."
The episode, which is set to air in 2014, will apparently include a child who has two mothers. The plot-line, according to LifeSiteNews.com, is as follows: Charlie, the main character (a young girl) will become friends with another child whose parents are gay. Then, Charlie's parents will try to form a relationship with the two mothers.
This will apparently only be a "subplot" of the episode and will not be included as a larger portion of the series (next year is the show's final season). TV Guide has more about the controversial action — one that is, very obviously, intentionally being taken by the kids network:
In the storyline, parents Amy and Bob Duncan (Leigh-Allyn Baker and Eric Allan Kramer) set up a playdate for preschooler Charlie (Mia Talerico) and one of her new friends. When the kid arrives, the Duncans learn that Charlie's pal has two moms. That's fine, but the potential new friendship is put to the test as one mom chats with Amy, and the other is stuck listening to Bob's dull stories.
The playdate is actually the secondary story in the episode, as much of the action will center on Teddy (Bridgit Mendler) and her best friend Ivy, as Ivy prepares to head off to college.
But Disney Channel understands the groundbreaking nature of featuring a same-sex couple on one of its sitcoms and took extra care in crafting the episode.
A Disney Channel spokesperson confirmed the episode's contents and has been quoted on gossip sites like Perez Hilton and on LifeSiteNews, among other conservative news outlets.
"This particular story line was developed under the consultancy of child development experts and community advisers," the representative explained. "Like all Disney Channel programming, it was developed to be relevant to kids and families around the world and to reflect themes of diversity and inclusiveness."

Your Weekly Update In The World Of Technology
News From The World Of Apple
Apple hosted its annual Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) earlier this week and released some mostly expected news. Some may argue that the announcement of various updates to their MacBooks and Mac OS, however the news that will affect most people is the announcement of revealed details of Apple's newest mobile operating system, iOS 6.
The operating system, which is found on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touches, is said to boast more than 200 new features and upgrades. Some of the biggest updates include Facebook integration, improvements to the voice-controlled Siri, and replacing Google Maps with Apple Maps. The Facebook integration allows iOS users, if they choose, to easily share their photos, details, and locations more easily through Safari and the Photos app.
Probably the most notable update is Apple replacing Google Maps with their own map app. The new app is currently in beta but boasts 3D models and turn-by-turn directions. These features were not available in Google Maps to iOS users. Some claim that Apple Maps does fall short of Google, however. Currently there is no "Street View"-like feature and Google's maps seem to contain a lot more information. Of course, Apple's maps are relatively new and they haven't had the time that Google has had to gather large amounts of information for the maps. More is expected of Apple Maps when the final version of iOS 6 is released to the public sometime this fall.
Anything ICANN Do… Will Probably Cause Google.google
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is going to make your Internet a whole lot bigger (from our perspective, at least). ICANN, which is the non-profit organization that manages the Internet's web domains, is prepping for the biggest domain name expansion in almost a decade. The expansion will include creating brand new top-level domains — the part of a web address that is ".com" or ".org".
Following the initial news of ICANN's expansion has been a huge number of new proposed domain names — 1,930 to be exact. These proposals came from companies such as Chrysler, JPMorgan Chase, Apple, Google, and many others. Amazon filed for 76 new top-level domains, such as .read, .fire, and .pay while Google applied for a whopping 101 new domains, .google being an obvious inclusion.
Adding new top-level domains is nothing new, in fact we've added domains such as .biz and .info in recent years, but this new expansion will break all the records. It will also cause some bad blood, as many companies are vying for the same domains. If disputes aren't settled between competing companies then the new domains will be auctioned off. We can expect to see the companies that win either .money, .pizza, and .web to fork out a hefty sum of cash to land their coveted domain.

The first day of my Princeternship at Christie's Art Auction House was extremely eye-opening, exciting and of course, busy. I woke up early on Wednesday, February 1, and boarded a 7:15 am train at Princeton Station and headed into New York City. I found it slightly nerve-wracking that I was playing the role of a commuter for the rest of the week: I was dressed in a suit, equipped with office essentials and carrying a large coffee. Once I got to the city, I was a part of the morning rush. I quickly found my way to the subway station that took me to Rockefeller Center where Christie's was located. After entering the building, I checked in with security and headed upstairs to meet our alum George McNeely'83's assistant, Alex. She was incredibly personable, which made me feel more comfortable in the office environment on my first day. Luckily, my first day of the internship was alongside Nick, another Princeton student who began his shadowing two days earlier than I. He was able to show me the ropes before I was expected to work alone.
After being introduced to members of the company that I would be working closely with, I dove straight into the major project I was assigned. Because Mr. McNeely was in charge of overseeing Christie's involvement in the Latin American art market, he gave me the task of analyzing data pertaining to Latin American clientele. My job was to search for trends in the buying habits of each country in the region. These trends would assist the company moving forward. I enjoyed this task, because I felt like my findings would be important; they were a real contribution to the company and its world-wide endeavors.
I was anxious to see more of the company after the first couple of hours at the computer. Alex took us on a tour of the building and explained the company's fundamental aspects. Nick and I toured the specialty departments- departments that are focused on art from a certain region of the world or even a specific country- as well as the major showroom. There was an auction currently going on and we stayed for a bit to watch how things worked. The auction itself was different than I expected. It was incredibly reserved, calm and cool. American Interiors were being sold for various prices to people who came from all over the city and, quite possibly, all over the world.
Next, it was lunch time. Alex took Nick and I to several places around the building in Rockefeller Center. There were business women and men scattered everywhere. Some were headed for a quick sandwich and salad, while others took more time to dine leisurely with a co-worker at a cafe. Upon returning to work, I continued my work on the project. Time passed incredibly quickly and before I knew it, it was time to return to Princeton.
Thursday, February 2, 2012 & Friday, February 3, 2012
My second and third days were tailored more to my personal interests in the company as well as the project. When I arrived at the office, I used Excel to graph client annual totals in an attempt to make sense of the Latin American client data. Shortly after, I had a one-on-one meeting with Mr. McNeely. We chatted about his background, art and Christie's in general. I found it incredibly interesting to hear about his time at Princeton and the career path that followed. His perspective was helpful in sorting through my own thoughts about my future in the business world. Mr. McNeely was kind, open and accepting of my ideas. His pleasant disposition made me feel welcome in the Christie's community. I was not just an outsider looking in. My presence was recognized and respected.
The last two days at Christie's flew by. Before I knew it, it was lunch time. Alex and I went underground to grab a sandwich. Over lunch, Alex and I discussed her background in college and I discovered that she was new to the business world too. Just out of college, Alex took the job at Christie's to increase her involvement in the art world. I enjoyed hearing her story.
I was able to sit in on an Events Committee Meeting later in the afternoon. This was definitely one of my favorite parts of my time at Christie's. As someone interested in event planning and coordination, listening to Mr. McNeely's co-workers discuss various invitations they received that requested a Christie's representative was very intriguing. The meeting made me aware of how large businesses treat major events as an advertising opportunity- something that will promote the company's name and reputation. I found it fascinating to be a fly on the wall. As I listened, I was also able to pick up how members of Christie's discuss and propose events. The presentation of each event was very important, for the employee pitching the event had to be persuasive and give good reasons as to why Christie's should participate.
As the days came to a close, I worked furiously on the project. I made lists, graphs and charts that I thought might be helpful to Alex and Mr. McNeely in their quest to expand and strengthen the Latin American art market. Before the end of the day, I met with Mr. McNeely to show him my work. To my surprise, he was very pleased with what I had done and planned to use my findings in future meetings. I was beyond flattered and proud that I had made a contribution. Although small, my contribution was able to leave a tiny mark on the company and hopefully leave them with a pleasant view of Princeton University. Overall, my experience could not have been more fulfilling. Not only did I meet executives from one of the most prominent art auction houses in the world, I was able to get an inside look at a major company to see how it runs on a daily basis. I felt so lucky that I had the opportunity to represent Princeton in the big city!

Really enjoyed Reid vs Kong but that was because I expected Reid to get hammered and was really impressed and pleasantly surprised with the fight. I do not want Reid vs the 'World & British Cage Fighting Champion' (Giles), *sigh*, as the main headliner, even though it will probably be a decent fight.
The main thing I want, is Borg and Pierre to stop constantly harping on about how educated MMA fighters actually are and that they are not thugs blah blah. It's true but it's getting repetitive.

Here's the story behind Manning's 31 'Omahas'
(NEWSER) – Peyton Manning's foundation for at-risk youth will receive a $24,800 donation for all the times he shouted "Omaha!" during the AFC championship game yesterday. The donations were organized by the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce after Manning's 44 pre-snap "Omaha!" calls during the Denver Broncos' win over San Diego received national attention. Eight Omaha companies combined to donate $800 to Manning's "Peyback Foundation" for every time he yelled the city's name during the Broncos' victory over the New England Patriots.

Mom turns self into 'speed bump' to save twins
(NEWSER) – A Massachusetts mom who saw her driverless car rolling backward toward traffic down a sloped driveway—with her 2-year-old twins inside—did the only thing she could think of: "I had to use myself as a speed bump," she tells WCVB. It worked. Mindy Tran of Lawrence suffered a broken leg, and a dislocated shoulder and hip after lying down horizontally behind her Honda Accord, but she slowed it enough that a neighbor could hop inside and bring it to a full stop, reports ABC News. Police then used an airbag to lift the car off Tran, 22.

Ok I am new to css but understand what I am doing so far but I am now just wondering if I can set a percent such as 99.6% for the width of my div? If so will it look different in different browsers?
That's all I was wondering.
Also I am still running IE6 and my pings don't work I get a white BG. I know there is a fix for it on google but I am wondering do a lot of people still use IE6? If so should I use the fix I found on google or am I safe just leaving my code the way it is and upgrade my IE broser to IE7?
[Non-expert view:]It's fairly safe, although different browsers may behave slightly differently in deciding how many pixels that actually represents. When it represents fractions of pixels (which will be most of the time) some browsers may round up and others down, so the results won't be exactly the same, I wouldn't think.
Hey Ralph thanks for the quick reply. What about IE6? Do you think many people out there still stuck on IE6?
Ah, OK, you must have added that while I was replying. There are stats on how many people still use IE6. I ignore it altogether now, but some people can't afford to. I don't know what you mean about pings not working.
Ok well I am using a transparent ping and IE6 doesnt support transparent ping images. There is a fix for it I guess I am just going to use the fix. Thanks for the quick replies Ralph. have a great night. Vinny
O, I had no idea you were talking about PNG images. (Pronouncing it as "ping" is one thing, but … :p)
You do need one of the many fixes for IE6 if you are using a transparent .png. Or you could just serve up a non-transparent image for IE6, which is my preference. As far as I'm concerned, IE9 sounded the final death knell for IE6 … even though those on XP can't use IE9. They can at least use IE7 in most cases.
(Pronouncing it as "ping" is one thing, but … )
I'm prolly the only person in the whole world who calls them Pee en Gee's "Ping" to me means when you ping a server.
They can at least use IE7 in most cases.
Tell that to my bank : )
Before bloating up your page with a bunch of java-junk: see what you can get away with first.
1) Do you really need semi-transparency? If the background is a solid colour, you really don't. You can see if saving the image with the background you expect to show up behind it, as a flat, 8-bit PNG (those are way smaller... see how many times larger a PNG gets once you add alpha transparency?)
2) Sometimes it's ok for IE6 users to see a solid colour when everyone else gets nice semi-trans. So see if a particular solid colour is nicest.I dunno if this works for ALL image editors, but here's what I do:when I go to save my semi-trans PNG in the GIMP, you know where the foreground/background colours are in your panel? I set the background colour to the colour that's behind the image on the web site.When you save the image, the background is recorded in the encoding (even tho with alpha-trans, you won't see it in modern browsers) and IE6 should show that colour instead of white, or grey, or black (I think people see those colours because those are common default backgrounds).
3) If the background behind the image isn't a solid colour, consider sending IE6 a flat 8-bit (indexed) PNG. This means, IE6 users will see somewhat jagged edges, but if you're even wondering if you care about IE6 then this shouldn't be a show-stopper. CSS:
background: url(somealphaimg.png) 0 0 no-repeat;}* html #element{background-image: url(someflatpng.png);}
(or use IE Conditional Comments, whatever)
Lastly, if you DO still decide to try stuff like the PNG fix, check that if you are putting these semi-trans images on clickable things (buttons/links) that they work in IE6. Some of these fixes screw with the ability to click. For that twinhelix fix, setting position: relative on those elements did the trick, but I dunno what the fix would be (if any) for other PNG fixes.
This is especially relevant if possibly users with WindowsMobile will be accessing your site. IE6 is the default browser on those things for some reason (if they're smart, they downloaded Opera mini or something... but you never know). So now consider the bandwidth and page load speed matters more on mobiles.
Hope you get things working the way you want either waycheers
No, there are at least two of us.
I had to laugh the other day at the news that there was a huge debate in Australian government circles over the use of PNG.
They were talking about Papua New Guinea, though (and arguing about using it to accommodate asylum seekers).[/ot]
well I use css to make my bg fade from top to bottom. So Using a solid BG on my .png image would be out of the question and so far I have no java in my script. I found some resources on the net where I can use a 1 pixel by 1 pixel clear .gif and then with some css I can get my transparent .png's to work. Only thing is I am using relevant positioning and all of my navigation icons are the same type of image .png with transparent bg's so I am afraid the script might make the clickable icons I made not work.
The Sitepoint reference explains how to use the alpha image loader to render transparent png images for IE6. No script is necessary and if you avoid placing the filter on positioned elements then the link problem does not occur. Sometimes this means adding an extra intermediate element just to hold the filter but is a full-proof method.
If you have a solid color for the background, you could have a non-transparent image whose gradient ends in the same color as the background.

Physicians at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center are conducting a novel research study to evaluate a medication that could improve intellectual function in young adults with Down syndrome. Participants for the clinical trial are currently being recruited.
"To my knowledge, this is the first trial of its kind," says Benjamin Seltzer, MD, Director of the Center of Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Disorders at Barrow Neurological Institute. "Down syndrome is the most important cause of development delay. Many of the medical problems associated with Down syndrome, such as low thyroid and heart defects, can now be corrected. But, until recently, there has been little hope that we could ever truly improve intellectual function (in Downs people). Now, however, researchers have developed a medication that may have such a benefit. (A study like this has been needed for a long time)."
There are more than 400,000 people living with Down syndrome in the United States. One in every 691 babies is born with Down syndrome.
The clinical trial at Barrow will last about 15 weeks. Participants will be required to take the newly developed medication twice daily and to have periodic blood and memory testing and brain wave examinations. The study is also being conducted at several other research centers in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Participants can be male or female and should be between 18 and 30 years of age. They must be in good general health and have a reliable person who can accompany them to all appointments.

Hi guys,
It feels like ages since I've logged in here and I'm sad to say it has been but in my defence the UG has an app and it's just been easier to get my mma news from there.
Anyway, I've been teaching in Spain for the last three years since MMA Unltd went under and I am now back in blighty unemployed again and was hoping someone here might have some work to put my way in the north east.
Unfortunately I can't offer bribes, bum sex or any other forms of inticement for your help except to promise I'm a grafter and I've got references from the MMA community to that effect.
As a side note, I do have a mobile catering trailer (but very few events lined up) which if anyone can point me in the direction of any interclubs etc in the north east, I would be happy to pull up in the carpark and provide food to competitors and spectators. This could provide work (albeit occassional) for someone from cagewarriors who is also struggling to find employment but for now, I am desperate for some other work or events to cater for. I will do anything but have experience labouring, teaching, betting, catering, sales and customer service.
Thanks in advance...

PHILADELPHIA – On Saturday, the University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team played its second game against an Atlantic 10 opponent in less than 48 hours (with a long drive home from Virginia in the snow in between). La Salle, Penn's opponent at The Palestra, was playing for the first time since December 22.
The result was probably predictable. The Quakers allowed the Explorers to gain control of the scoreboard early, but were within single digits (29-20) with two minutes left in the first half.
At that point, La Salle's motor kicked in and Penn did not have the legs to answer. The Explorers scored 17 unanswered points and 29 of the next 33 bridging the two halves, and that essentially put this one in the books. The final score was 76-57.
Penn will enter its Ivy League opener next Saturday against Princeton with a 2-10 overall record, while La Salle improved to 7-6 with Saturday's victory.
La Salle used a 10-point run early in the game to take a nine-point lead at 16-7, taking advantage of three Quaker turnovers for seven of the points. That advantage bulged to as large as 13 points, at 28-15, before the Red and Blue briefly sprung to life to gradually get within nine points at 29-20.
Almost as soon as that happened, La Salle woke up. Tyrone Garland stroked a three-pointer on the Explorers' ensuing possession, and that was the impetus to a half-ending, 7-0 run that had the guests up, 36-20, at the break.
Tony Hicks was the only one who really got anything going in the opening period, scoring 12 of Penn's 20 points, while Fran Dougherty added five.
If there were any doubts as the teams took the floor for the second half, they were quickly put to rest. La Salle's Jerrell Wright scored eight unanswered points for the Explorers -- giving him 21 at that point -- which made the score 44-20, and forced Penn to take a timeout. Steve Zack would hit a pair of free throws for the Explorers, extending La Salle's run to 17-0 bridging the halves, before Dougherty finally got the Quakers on the board more than four minutes into the period.
Hicks ended the game with 16 points for Penn, while Dougherty had 14. Wright led La Salle with 21, while Garland and Tyreek Duren had 14 each and Zack added 10.
Penn's Ivy League opener with Princeton will tip off next Saturday at 6 p.m. at The Palestra, a game that will be televised nationally on the NBC Sports Network.
Game Notes: For the first time in 10 games, Penn did not lose the points off turnovers statistic (19-19 tie) … La Salle became the 10th of Penn's 12 opponents to shoot below 45 percent from the field … For just the second time in the last nine games, Penn had fewer turnovers (15) than its opponent (18) … Penn set a team season low for assists (11) and tied a team low in field goals made (20) … Penn's 20 first-half points were a season low for any half this season … La Salle's 17-0 run that bridged the halves was the longest unanswered scoring run against Penn this season … Sophomore Tony Hicks led Penn with 16 points, giving him 39 points in the last two games (he had 24 combined in the four games before that) … Hicks leads Penn with nine double-digit scoring performances this season, and has 24 for his career … Hicks has led Penn in scoring in four games this season … Senior Fran Dougherty scored 14 points, his third-straight double-figure scoring game and sixth this season (16th career) … Dougherty had nine rebounds, his sixth time in the last seven games with nine or more boards … Dougherty has led Penn in rebounding in seven of the last eight games … Dougherty also tied a career best with three blocked shots … Sophomore Jamal Lewis set a season best with three steals, while senior Miles Jackson-Cartwright tied a season high with two steals … Freshman Matt Howard set season/career highs in points (6), rebounds (3) and minutes (16) … Freshman Dylan Jones set season/career highs in rebounds (3) and minutes (9) … Seniors Dau Jok and Steve Rennard tied season bests with three points apiece … Freshman Preston Troutt set season/career highs in assists (2) and minutes (3) … Jackson-Cartwright now has 1,219 points for his career which is 25th in Penn history; Dick Censits (1956-58) is 24th with 1,220 points, while Dave Wohl (1969-71) is 23rd with 1,226 points and Ron Haigler (1971-73) is 22nd with 1,236 points.

Getting excited to go . . . if there are any caches to recommend in particular on Big Island, or in Honolulu, love to hear it! Tried to find Hawaii geocaching forum but all the posts are a year old, sadly.

I recently came back from the big island. Started in Hilo (east side) and worked my way all around the big island. I highly recomend Under the rainbow in Pololu Valley. Very beautiful place and if your up for a short hike you can see the next valley at the Zorro's Gift Cache. Hilo is a tropical area and there are many cool waterfalls to see. Akaka Falls is one of the more popular ones to see. Pololu Valley is further north of Hilo and its a really cool drive getting there. The highway you take there just ends and you hike down 500' to a black sand beach at the bottom. The view close to were you start is awsome and there is a cache close to the start of the trail but be mindful of the many muggles that go there. I didnt attempt it because of this.
On the west side of the island you have Kona and many many beaches full of caches. I started at the northern tip at a small airport/ windfarm at the Captain Cooked #4 cache and worked my way south to Kona. Hapuna Beach is a popular one before you reach Kona from the north. Some of the more interesting caches I found there were Petroglyphs and Lava Lounge (wear good shoes and pants here). Both of these caches are not at the beach but they are in some really cool places. If you try the Petroglyphs and use theprovided parking cords don't go to the beach and follow the trail there is another paved trail leading away from the beach there that winds thru this forest to the site where they are and the cache is located.
The south is where the volcano is located. By land you can see lots of old lava flows but you will see this everyhwhere on the island at almost every beach. The difference at the national park is the size of these flows. They are old and cool but huge since your basicly on the volcano itself. No worries though when I was there all you can see is smoke coming out of a crater about 8 miles away. Didn't see anything like on TV where people watch the lava flow into the ocean since it wasn't flowing that way anymore. I did take a helicopter tour and I saw where its erupting now though (very far from the national park viewing area at another crater). Oh don't touch the sea turtle that come up on shore. I guess you can get a heavy fine for disturbing them. I saw 4 while I was there and I thought they were dead but they are just hanging out for a while before going back out to sea. Be careful on the beaches while walking on the lava. It will feel solid like blacktop but once it gets wet it is very slippery.
I never spent too much time in one location there but there is so much to see. If anything I would put Pololu Valley at the top of my list to see if you never been there before. Even the locals like that part of the island.

Email s4xton. Aaron was a very active member of the MnGCA and now lives in HI. I'm not sure if he's an active cacher any longer, so I'm not sure if he'd be able to help much or not.

We had a lot of fun doing the webcam on top of Mauna Kea (bring a winter jacket if you're going up there, it sits over 14,000 feet and can get very chilly) Also a great one at South Point, but I think it may have been archived. Lots of really cool Earthcaches and Virtuals inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, really got to see some cool areas of that park!

I also have the same issue. You are not alone
Just wondering if its something i did or if everyone has this issue...
When i try to run john it always dumps the default help screen, won't run --test or look at any files i feed it. just always gives me that same damned output. Can anyone verify that it works? this is on my HD install where some things have been added... (ok quite a few things)
I also have the same issue. You are not alone
Quick workaround would be to run john from it's directory.
So something like this:
Code:root@bt:/pentest/password/jtr# ./john
read the docs on the main john page theres all kind of cool stuff you can do -single and look at the conf it also has a sort of distrubited framework if you have a few boxes ..
I wonder if bots have anything like this like a distrtubited cracker ? that would be sweet

Due Date Accuracy
Is it possible to plan your due date? And how accurate could that be? I asked because I am planning to travel with my husband next year and at the same time we are planing to have a baby. I think it's safe to plan things ahead . Hope someone could help me here. Thanks!
7th August 2014 06:58 AM #2
Hi angelcj,
Thanks for posting this interesting question.
It's certainly good to plan ahead However, there are some things (actually, many!) we can't control when it comes to babies.
Firstly, you don't know how long it will take you to conceive. The average time for a couple to take to conceive is 6 months if they are healthy and having sex regularly.
Once you conceive you are given an estimated due date. Note that this is estimated and is based on averages - an average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks starting from the first day of your last menstrual period. However, it is considered normal to have your baby anytime between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy and you would be considered to be full term within this period. Only around 5% of women give birth on their estimated due date.
Please do post back if you have any further questions on this interesting topic.
Wishing you and your husband all the best with your travelling and conceiving,
Warm wishes,

Thank you so much ljmarsden for welcoming me. I do not know what to expect about pregnancy, motherhood and parenting. But I'm really excited.
11th August 2014 06:30 AM #6
It is such an exciting journey to be on - one like no other. In many ways, there's nothing that could have prepared me for the joy of having children...you know it is going to change your life but you can't comprehend quite how much and in what wonderful ways. That has been my experience anyway

I am really looking forward to it . I want to make sure that I give the best care for my child to be. I know one day I will be able to understand the feeling you are referring to. I can only imagine the beauty of this new journey.

The group's Karen Fairchild calls it "an incredible honor" to host the three-hour show, which features footage shot at the annual gathering of country music stars and fans. She adds that she and her bandmates "could not be more excited about the party that's going to break out at LP Field every night."
The special will include highlights from the main stage performers, as well as other CMA Fest activities. The four-day event features a variety of concerts on several stages as well as autograph signing sessions, fan club parties, charity events, and other attractions.

In a virtual must win, the Brevard College men's soccer team wraps up its 2013 home campaign on Senior Day when it welcomes Lenoir-Rhyne in a crucial South Atlantic Conference bout Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Brevard Soccer Field in Brevard, N.C.
• This matchup looks to be a thriller as both teams are in the hunt for the postseason entering the final week of the regular season. The top-eight teams make the SAC Soccer Championship Tournament. Currently, Lenoir-Rhyne (8-7-1, 3-5-1 SAC) sits in 9th with 10 points, while BC (5-9, 3-6 SAC) is in 10th with nine points. Both teams are chasing Catawba, who has 13 points. However, BC took care of business by defeating Catawba, 2-1, Oct. 19 to earn the tiebreaker while L-R suffered a 1-0 loss to them. If the Tornados lose, they are mathematically eliminated from postseason contention. With a tie, BC would need to win at Coker Saturday and have Catawba lose and have L-R lose or tie. With a win, BC would need a win OR a tie at Coker, a L-R loss OR tie and a Catawba loss. If BC wins both, it could jump as high as sixth in the standings depending on the outcome of other matches.
• On Friday, the Tornados dropped a 3-0 decision at Mars Hill while temperatures loomed around freezing. BC allowed a season-high 26 shots while Heath Turner made a season-high 12 saves.
• No Tornado has started every match this season. Ryan McPhillips, Augusto Isern, Winston Haddock, Alec Goettl and Turner have started all but one. Rhem Stubbs and Isern are the only two players to appear in every match this season. Turner leads the conference with 70 saves while McPhillips paces the team with five goals, 11 points and 21 shots. 21 different Tornados have recorded a shot during the 2013 campaign.
• Paulo Silva, Mercelo Betcer, Jami Uuttu, Stubbs and Goettl have recorded double figures in the shot category this season.
• Prior to the match, seniors Jake Parker, Pauli Jussila, Adam Martin, Silva and Uuttu will be honored for their accomplishments with the Tornados.
• L-R is no stranger to overtime as it has been in seven matches that exceeded 90 minutes, including four that went into double overtime. The Bears handed Newberry a 1-0 loss Saturday to snap a two-match losing skid.
• The Bears Ben Jones leads the SAC with 81 shots and paces the squad in goals (nine), points (18) and shots on goal (41). Gabriel Jones and Josh Alderson are tied for the team lead with three assists each. Goalie Stefan Dill has played every minute this season while accumulating 58 saves and five shutouts.
• L-R has won five consecutive matches against BC, including back-to-back 4-1 decisions.

Quick service, which accounts for about 80% of total restaurant morning meals, showed the strongest increase in breakfast visits of all restaurant segments with a 4% increase in the year ending December 2013 period compared to year ago, reports NPD CREST, which every day tracks how consumers use restaurants and other foodservice outlets. Morning meal visits to midscale/family dining restaurants declined by 3%.
The future also looks bright for foodservice breakfast, according to NPD's A Look into the Future of Foodservice study. Total restaurant morning meal visits are forecast to grow by 7% over the next nine years. Quick service breakfast traffic is expected to increase by 9%.
"Breakfast continues to be a bright spot for the restaurant industry as evidenced by the number of chains expanding their breakfast offerings and times," says Bonnie Riggs, NPD's restaurant industry analyst. "A restaurant morning meal serves a variety of needs. In addition to helping us jump start our day, it satisfies the need for convenience, is less costly than other restaurant meals, and is readily available to us."

IL notes: Brown turning things around
Nats farmhand seeing the ball better, producing at the plate
By John Wagner / Special to MLB.com | May 28, 2012 6:00 AM ET
Brown, who came to Washington in the 2010 trade for Josh Willingham, hit .235 in 124 games with the Chiefs last season. He hit 14 homers but totaled only 39 RBIs.
And the most glaring number was 134 strikeouts compared to only 47 walks.
"It wasn't just last year, my strikeouts have been too high my entire career," Brown admitted. "Last year was a tough year for me from the get-go.
"I put a little pressure on myself because of the trade and because I was on the 40-man [roster]. As the season went on, the pressure seemed to magnify. At the end of July, I went back to some things I had used to have some success. But overall, it was a struggling season."
Even the good things that happened late in the summer carried an asterisk. He was promoted to Washington in September but had only three at-bats before he was sidelined with a knee infection.
At season's end, Brown was taken off the Nationals' 40-man roster.
"My family didn't understand because they had seen me have success in high school and college and the Draft," he said. "To me, it really wasn't a surprise.
"I wasn't upset with the organization at all. I didn't have a great season, the type of season I wanted at all. So my focus was on getting healthy and showing this organization what I can really do."
In 2012, everything seems to have turned around for Brown. He enters this week ranked 10th in the IL with a .297 batting average and stands third with 12 home runs after a five-homers-in-five-days burst last week.
Syracuse manager Tony Beasley said Brown's statistics, as well as his play, have caught the eye of the Nationals' front office.
"Defensively, Corey has been very solid," Beasley said. "Offensively, he has been very consistent, with quality at-bats game in and game out. He has hit a lot of balls hard, he has worked counts."
Most impressive is that Brown has dramatically cut down on his strikeouts. He has fanned 41 times in 185 at-bats while drawing 31 walks, an improvement he said has come because of specialized eye training he began before the season.
"I think it has helped me see the ball better," Brown said. "I'm not swinging at as many balls in the dirt, and that puts me in better hitter's counts. It has helped produce more walks."
There also is one other big number that Brown hopes to post: So far, the 6-foot-1, 205-pound Tampa native has played in all but one of Syracuse's first 49 games.
"Last year, he was injured and he didn't play consistently," Beasley said. "I think it would be a big statement if he posted up big numbers [of games played]. I'm pushing him, challenging him, on that front."
Of course, it's hard to take Brown out of the lineup when his numbers are what they are.
"It is, but you can still give a guy a rest," Beasley said. "I'm pushing him a little bit that way. I want him to play [a lot].
"When you look at his numbers, I want to see 135 games played. That will make a statement."
Axelrod's quality start: Charlotte RHP Dylan Axelrod has been impressive to start the season, going 4-1 with a league-best 1.20 ERA in seven starts. Six of those have been "quality" starts, meaning he has allowed three earned runs or fewer while pitching at least six innings. Axelrod has yet to allow more than two runs in any game, giving up 32 hits and nine walks over 45 innings. The only time he didn't have a quality start was April 17 against Durham, when he lasted 5 1/3 innings.
Familiar faces: Norfolk recently added IF Miguel Tejada, a 15-year pro who has spent time in the Major Leagues with the A's, Orioles, Astros, Padres and Giants. The 38-year-old has hit .381 with four homers and eight RBIs in his first six games with the Tides. Durham recently picked up OF Hideki Matsui, who's spent time in the big leagues with the Yankees, Angels and A's. In his first 11 IL games, the 37-year-old Matsui batted .171 with four RBIs.
He said it: "What a big shot in the arm for [Andres Blanco] and for the team. He was battling on some swings throughout the game with nothing to show for it." -- Lehigh Valley manager Ryne Sandberg to The (Allentown) Morning Call on May 21 after Blanco snapped a 1-for-25 slump with a game-winning homer in the bottom of the 13th inning of the IronPigs' 7-6 triumph over Louisville.

Emerging as a market town from a cluster of hill villages in the eighth and seventh centuries B.C., Rome grew to become the ancient world's preeminent power. Everitt fashions the story of Rome's rise to glory into an erudite book filled with lasting lessons for our time. He chronicles the clash between patricians and plebeians that defined the politics of the Republic. He shows how Rome's shrewd strategy of offering citizenship to her defeated subjects was instrumental in expanding the reach of her burgeoning empire. And he outlines the corrosion of constitutional norms that accompanied Rome's imperial expansion, as old habits of political compromise gave way, leading to violence and civil war. In the end, unimaginable wealth and power corrupted the traditional virtues of the Republic, and Rome was left triumphant everywhere except within its own borders.
Everitt paints indelible portraits of the great Romans - and non-Romans - who left their mark on the world out of which the mighty empire grew: Cincinnatus, Rome's George Washington, the very model of the patrician warrior/aristocrat; the brilliant general Scipio Africanus, who turned back a challenge from the Carthaginian legend Hannibal; and Alexander the Great, the invincible Macedonian conqueror who became a role model for generations of would-be Roman rulers. Here also are the intellectual and philosophical leaders whose observations on the art of government and "the good life" have inspired every Western power from antiquity to the present: Cato the Elder, the famously incorruptible statesman who spoke out against the decadence of his times, and Cicero, the consummate orator whose championing of republican institutions put him on a collision course with Julius Caesar and whose writings on justice and liberty continue to inform our political discourse today.
Rome's decline and fall have long fascinated historians, but the story of how the empire was won is every bit as compelling. With The Rise of Rome, one of our most revered chroniclers of the ancient world tells that tale in a way that will galvanize, inform, and enlighten modern listeners.

"Everitt takes [listeners] on a remarkable journey into the creation of the great civilization's political institutions, cultural traditions, and social hierarchy.... [E]ngaging work that will captivate and inform from beginning to end." (Booklist)
"Rome from the fall of Troy through Julius Caesar"
While I have read a reasonable amount about Roman history (the rule of the Emperors from Augustus through Claudius, the three Punic Wars and, more specifically, Hannibal's invasion of Rome and the subsequent Roman invasion of North Africa to destroy Carthage) I had never read a real history of the rise of Rome. Since I was preparing to (finally) read Gibbon's Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire I thought it was time to learn how the Roman Empire came to be before I read how it ceased to be. I bought this book for that specific purpose.
Mr Everitt has written a wonderful and enjoyable history of Rome from its beginning (actually from the fall of Troy) through the beginning of the civil wars at the time of Pompey, Julius Caesar and Octavian. While I was looking forward to reading this I was also somewhat apprehensive because I remembered how dull Roman history classes were when I was in school. I worried about a book made up of dates and events, especially since I would be listening, not actually reading, but I should not have worried. Mr Everitt has built this book around the individuals and events that constitute Roman history rather than a series of dates and that decision worked really well. Had High School history been presented like this I might have paid more attention.
Mr Everitt has broken down the story of the rise of Rome into 3 separate sections – Myth (starting from the fall of Troy and Romulus and Remus), historic legends and known historic facts and the whole fits together seamlessly into a very interesting story. There was much about Roman history that I never knew – Alexander The Great's plans to "teach" the upstart Romans a lesson by invading, how Rome grew from a small settlement into the global superpower of the time, how the Romans held Italy together as subject peoples in spite of their being outnumbered and much else. I had read a good deal about the Punic Wars but never knew, until I read this book, why Rome forced Carthage into the third war.
The narration is very well done and the book very enjoyable. While it is not a "heavy" history it is also complete enough to not be "light" reading. I feel comfortable recommending this book to anyone with an interest in this period of time.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"A Messy Graveyard for A. Everitt's Rome detritus."
There is no doubt Anthony Everitt knows his Classical stuff. His previous books: 'Cicero' and 'Augustus' were amazing. 'Hadrian' aimed high, but didn't quite hold up to the first two. The Rise of Rome signals a severe decline in Everitt's popular Roman history, IMHO. The book is messy. His narrative begins with Section I (Legend) a review of the legends and foundation myths surrounding the rise of Rome. He then jumps into a review of 'big themes' as Rome's politics, warfare, and society develop.
IN this second section, He isn't interested in the history, rather he attempts to construct the narrative STORY of history. He tries (and fails) to draw a distinction between Section II (Story) and Section III (History), but the last two thirds of the book are really one, story-driven, narrative slog through 1000 years of Roman history and personalities.
The problem is Everitt tries to present 1000 years of Rome's rise in less than 500 pages and fills almost 67 of these pages with foundation myths, etc. The best parts of this book are those pages when he is talking about Rome's great enemy Hannibal, the problem is those pages are 50 pages less spent on the actual direct topic of his book.
Fundamentally, Everitt's biggest failure is the standard high school and college freshman failure. He starts with far too big a topic and devotes to it too little space. He tries for a sweeping history of Rome and only delivers a shoddy, uneven narrative. IN the end, the book feels like a graveyard for Everitt's unpublished background material for previous books or aborted histories.

"Terrific book, absolutely terrible narrator"
Epic, Interesting, Unlistenable
None of note. It is an historical work.
No. His British newscaster singsong delivery ending each sentence on exactly the same two-note pitch throughout the entire book was horrible.

"User-Friendly Ancient History"
A year ago I took this book out of the local library. After a few dozen pages I realized that Anthony Everitt's style was so easy, his approach so intelligent, that his book would make a perfect listen. Not long after that, Audible had a sale.
In his Introduction Everitt calls the book a "taster" which is, I assume, the British equivalent of our "sampler". And he's right. Neither too scholarly nor too simplistic, he has written a sweeping, bird's-eye-view introduction to how the Roman Empire became the Roman Empire. Everitt says he wrote in hopes of inspiring deeper investigations into the riches of the subject by his readers, and I'm sure that will happen. For this listener the book worked in the opposite way: helping me to string together the chunks of Roman history I already knew into a coherent, seamless narrative.
Everitt's intelligence and clarity begin with the way he organizes his material, breaking it into three main sections: Legend, Story and History. Legend recounts the tales that, true or not, are important because they're what the Romans believed about themselves and their city, and helped inspire their decisions as that city grew. Story recounts the strange netherworld between prehistory and history, while history takes up the story at the point where actual, documented facts begin to undergird the narrative.
Complex political situations are explained lucidly. I'm not saying didn't have to rewind to catch all the nuances, but the fault lay with the Romans and their allies or enemies, not with the writer. Everitt obviously loves his subject and it shows. Another touch I appreciated was his wise forbearance from drawing parallels between ancient and recent history. Those can be made, as he points out, by individual readers. And no matter where you are on the political spectrum, there is enough material here to buttress your particular point of view. Everitt gives us an engaging narrative, unburdened by any tendentious political message, tongue clucking, moralizing or the sound of axes being ground. Bless him.
Finally, a word about Clive Chafer as narrator. At first his delivery can sound somewhat dreary. He seems tired and uninspired. Then after a few minutes you realize he's the perfect choice for a book like this. For all of Everitt's skill as a story teller, the story he tells can get complex. Chafer's measured delivery makes it much easier to follow.
In sum: I enjoyed this book from start to finish, learned many new things and was able to put the few things I already knew into a clearer, more coherent context. And I was able to do all that because, unlike many other writers on classical history, Everitt told the story without getting tangled in the second-growth forest of academic fashions or scholarly disagreements.
"Excellent story, Excellent Narration"
Yes. I would most definitely listen to it over again. And I am. It is a great overview of the Early years and the end of the republic.
Appius Claudius Caecus "The Blind"
He didn't really play a character. This is a history book.
I really liked this book. But my opinion must be taken with some scrutiny, as this is my first audio book. But I guess I'm not far from the average as this book has an average overall rating of 5 stars. The Narrator has such a voice that if feel he should have narrated my life , I would have payed him for it. his sort of English aristocratic demeanor brings the Rise of Rome to life for me at least. many have commented that he has a sort of two-tone type of voice and never changes. Might i remind you people that this is a historical narrative and not "Fifty Shades of Grey" or the like. if you don't like that then you are reading the wrong book. Not to say this book cannot be extremely exciting. For example, the tale regarding the "Caudine Faux" (probably spelled incorrectly) where the Romans are caught in a pass and are forced to walk "with one item of clothing each" through a gate of spears while being jeered and laughed at by Vulsci soldiers. or when Gaius Decius Mus commited "Devotio" by pulling his toga over his head and riding into the enemy to ensure victory by sacrificing himself. Its tales like these that kept me glued to my earphones. But its all in your own opinion.

If you are fascinated by Roman History at all then you will be delighted by this "lite" retelling of Romes historic rise and domination of Italy.
"Amazing comparative of fact, fiction and myth"
An intersecting perspective of how fact and fiction have blended to create the Roman mystique that still fascinates us.
The main downfall is the narrator; despite the fascinating content, it is rolled out in a pedantic drone that is uninspiring at best.
"For Some Who Know Little of the Period"
I enjoyed Everitt's books but this was a bit of a let down. I have read extensively in the period so for me there was nothing new. I think he should have had much more material on the actual historical period and spent less time on the mythical period.
For someone who has little familiartiy it was probably good to hear the tales of Decius Mus, Lucius Scaevola and Coriolanus but I was not must interested in this period as I had already heard all the stories and read Livy.
Nevertheless he does put together for those will little background a good summary of the Rise of Rome and what made it such a great power in the region - the fact that it could lose so many battles and keep fighting where other would have givern up. It is the sheer determination of the Romans that made possible its domination of the Ancient World. This book more than adequate conveys the Roman determination in the face of overwhelming odd.
After all this is what Everitt wishes to convery -- the ability to dominate the ancient world through sheer determination and the ability to return to the battle inspite of great losses. Everitt hints at but does not go into detail the development of the Roman Military Machine which made possible these later triumphas. He briefly discusses Marius and Sulla, two towering personalities on whom he spends too little time, and who modernized the army from citizen-soldiers to professional miliary.
Clive Chafer is an excellent reader and does a great job in the book. Now if only they would bring out an audio version of Everitt's Cicero.
Tell us about yourself! I am a 43 year old wanna be intellect. I love people doing things for me and i guess that includes my reading! My interests vary widely so this site is right up my alley....maybe too much so!!!
It's detail
The insanity of some of the leaders
He makes you know when something is important
no great audiobook
Enjoy the little things
"Ed Gibbon should be proud"
An excellent narrative of the rise of Rome as a Roman might see their own history. Excellent read. Great listen, I advise both to really digest and evaluate this great work.
"Carpe Diem"
How does an obscure backwater surrounded bt hostile enemies conquer the world? Anthony Everitt tells us the story.

The Composers
Arthur (Seymour) Sullivan
The man famous as half of the opera-writing duo Gilbert and Sullivan was a gifted composer and musician in his own right. He was born on May 13th 1842 into a very encouraging musical family - by the time he was eight the young Sullivan had written his own anthem, and by ten he had mastered all the wind instruments in his father's Royal Military College band. He won scholarships for several conservatories and academies, and when he had finished at the last in Germany, he returned to England, wrote incidental music for 'The Tempest' and became famous - at age 20. He was professor of composition at the Royal Academy and conducted the Royal Philharmonic between 1885 and 1887, and was quite a society man, friends with monarchs across Europe.
In 1867 he collaborated on Cox and the Box and The Contrabandista with the writer F C Brunand, revealing a talent for comic opera. And in 1871 to 1896 he worked with W S Gilbert on fourteen comic operas, including Trial by Jury (1875), H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1885), The Yeomen of the Guard (1888), and The Gondoliers (1889). Sullivan had a gift for writing great melodies and for musical parody of traditional types of song, and he invented too new forms of comic song, such as the patter song - a long, rapidly delivered text to a light tune of restricted vocal range.
Some of Sullivan's most beautiful music was composed while he was in intense pain from the kidney stones that plagued him for the 28 years before his death on 22nd November 1900. His later works include the grand opera Ivanhoe (1891), Onward Christian Soldiers (1872) and a Te Deum (1897).

The city is one of the last in the state to use incinerators to destroy its sewage sludge. The largely obsolete technology produces hazardous ash containing copper, which has to be shipped to a landfill. For local environmentalists and city officials, these incinerators can't be retired soon enough.
Now, the city is finalizing a plan to do just that. Public Works staff and consultants are preparing an ambitious long-range plan for the Regional Water Quality Control Plant, which provides services to Palo Alto, Mountain View, Stanford University, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills and the East Palo Alto Sanitary District. The goal of the document is to create a roadmap for scrapping the 40-year-old technology and for replacing it with one that converts waste into energy.
According to the draft plan, the process won't be cheap or easy. The document states that repairs and replacements will "require a significant investment in the next 15 years." Phil Bobel, assistant director of public works, estimated that renovating the wastewater plant and replacing the aged equipment could cost as much as $250 million. Meeting potential federal and state regulations — including new requirements for recycled-water use, incineration limits and air-emissions regulations — could add another $150 million to the price tag. The cost would be split among the partner agencies and would likely be funded through either a bond or a low-interest state loan, Bobel said.
Bobel and Jamie Allen, manager of the plant, both told the City Council Monday night, May 7, that the existing equipment is showing signs of extreme wear and has exceeded its design life.
"Renovation and rehabilitation is needed," Bobel said. "You can't mess around with a facility like this. It needs to operate 24/7."
While safety is one factor, the environment is another. The report notes that "the public has expressed concern over use of an incineration process."
"Therefore, the recommendation of this LRFP (Long Range Facilities Plan) is to retire the existing incineration process as soon as a new solids process can be selected and implemented."
Bobel said the future regional plant will be able to extract energy from sewage sludge. The draft identifies several options. One process, known as gasification, heats up sludge in an oxygen-free container. This creates a gas that can be converted to electricity or renewable diesel. Allen said the process is long established, but it's new in the United States when it comes to sewage-sludge treatment.
The other option is wet anaerobic digestion, a process in which microorganisms break down waste and create energy, which can be either gas or electricity. Palo Alto is already considering building an anaerobic digester to process local food waste and yard trimmings. The project, which has split the environmental community, received a major boost last November, when voters approved the "undedication" of a 10-acre site in the Baylands to accommodate the new facility.
Former Mayor Peter Drekmeier, who led the campaign to undedicate the parkland, praised the city's effort to upgrade its sewage facilities and encouraged the city to integrate the two efforts (replacing the wastewater plant and building a new compost facility). Drekmeier advocated "scaling up" the digester to include food waste and said there are "great cost savings in energy-production potential."
"In nature, every waste product is used by something else," Drekmeier said. "We're definitely on the right track."
The council did not take action on the plan, though several members said they were excited about the movement to replace the aged equipment at the plant. Bobel said staff would try to blend the two projects and return to the council in July with a schedule for moving forward. He said the long-range plan for the wastewater plant is necessary to create a "path" for moving forward on the needed upgrades.
"We need the ultimate plant layout, so we can sequence and make expenditures in the right order," he said.
The council was also scheduled to discuss on Monday night the Lytton Gateway development, a four-story, mixed-used project that would stand on the corner of Lytton Avenue and Alma Street. Members voted 8-1 shortly after 10 p.m. to postpone the item to next Monday, May 14.

Doan Signs Order, Completes GSA Reorganization
October 12, 2006
Contact: (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC –Lurita Doan, Administrator of General Services at the U.S. General Services Administration today implemented the agency's much anticipated Federal Acquisition Service.
Signing GSA Order ADM 5440.591, Administrator Doan completed the agency's process in bringing about the reorganization of the agency's former Federal Technology and Federal Supply Services.
"The signing of this legislation marks an historic moment for GSA and will keep us on track to hit our top target – superior customer service," said Administrator Doan. "Creation of the new Federal Acquisition Service enables us to better provide superior customer service by providing goods and services to federal government agencies at best value. With the President's signature, all of the pieces are now in place."
This act authorizes the FAS reorganization and establishes a new, single GSA fund—the Acquisition Services Fund. Today's official implementation of FAS enables GSA to provide improved customer service and focus; greater career opportunities for employees; greater business flexibility for acquisition solutions; enhanced financial management and accountability; increased efficiencies; greater standardization within FAS and with external industry partners, while allowing for more innovation; and better support of the President's Management Agenda.
"We have the authority to move forward, and our leaders and phenomenal workforce will execute the game plan. My optimism about the future of GSA is matched only by my confidence in our ability to understand, anticipate and deliver total workplace solutions to our customers," said Administrator Doan.
Administrator Doan's approval of the GSA Order completed the FAS organizational design and followed shortly after President George W. Bush signed into law H.R. 2066, the General Services Administration Modernization Act. "This is a momentous occasion for GSA, our employees, our federal agency customers, and our business partners," said FAS Commissioner Jim Williams. "The establishment of FAS will ensure that GSA continues as the premier acquisition agency for the federal government, providing true 21st century products, services, and business solutions for our customers."
# # # #
GSA is a centralized, federal procurement, property management, policy development and information provision agency, created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. In this role, GSA acquires products and services on behalf of federal agencies; plays a key role in developing and implementing government-wide policies; provides services and solutions for the office operations of more than one million federal workers; and encourages a citizen-centric relationship with government by providing a single "point of entry" to the information and services citizens need in a timeframe they can appreciate. This allows citizens to receive accurate, timely and consistent answers and information, and helps federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.

These results, as well as the spectra obtained, he stated further, corroborated Becquerel's observations.
In 1896 Becquerel brought us to the threshold of the great discovery.
Becquerel and Breschet have noted fine phosphorescent effects from this cause in the waters of the Brenta at Venice.
These are associated with the names of Marconi, Becquerel, and Langley.
And thus, by a sort of accident, he led up to the discovery of the Becquerel rays, so called.
Becquerel may be considered one of the creators of electro-chemistry.
Becquerel announced his discoveries in 1896 and this was the beginning of the new science of radio-activity.
In two of the most severe of Becquerel's cases the blood coagulated firmly, and in a slight case the clot was dark and loose.
These rays are often called Becquerel rays in honor of their discoverer.
The iron was in excess of that in the normal blood, but in Becquerel's cases the mean was 0.381—less than the normal.
becquerel bec·que·rel (bě-krěl', běk'ə-rěl')
A unit of measurement of radioactivity, equal to one disintegration per second.
The SI derived unit used to measure the rate of radioactive decay. When the nucleus of an atom emits nucleons (protons and/or neutrons) and is thereby transformed into a different nucleus, decay has occurred. A decay rate of one becquerel for a given quantity means there is one such atomic transformation per second.
Family of French physicists, including Antoine César (1788-1878), one of the founders of the science of electrochemistry; his son Alexandre Edmond (1820-1891), noted for his research on phosphorescence, magnetism, electricity, and optics; and his grandson Antoine Henri (1852-1908), who discovered spontaneous radioactivity in uranium. Antoine Henri Becquerel's work led to the discovery of radium by Marie and Pierre Curie, with whom he shared the 1903 Nobel Prize for physics.
