Morning CheriC and Rich,
While I too have other genealogy database programs (which I rarely even
open), Genbox is my main application. And yes, I too keep track of Bill's
progress posts. However, with all the tantalizing posts from Bill I would
like a hint about the overall progress of version 4. Besides, as I am
testing the Genbox to Pocket Genealogist connection and use, when Bill does
release version 4 that will mean major changes to Pocket Genealogist to
accommodate version 4, and fresh work for me with testing.

* Danish driver killed after Aston Martin crashes
* Audi lead but number one car hits problems
* Toyota second and third after 10 hours
Audi's Tom Kristensen led a tragedy-tinged Le Mans 24 Hours race into the darkness of Sunday morning after fellow-Dane Allan Simonsen was killed in a crash only minutes into the endurance event.
The first race fatality in 27 years at Le Mans cast a pall over 90th anniversary celebrations for the race on its 81st running at the La Sarthe circuit near the western French cathedral city.
Simonsen's Aston Martin team vowed to carry on and win their GTE Am class in tribute to the 34-year-old, who crashed heavily into the barriers at Tertre Rouge on his third lap, at the request of his grieving family.
Jean Todt, president of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), and organisers expressed their "profound sadness" after the experienced Dane was pronounced dead at the circuit medical centre.
The most recent fatality connected with the race was Frenchman Sebastien Enjolras, killed during pre-qualifying in 1997, but the last driver to die during the race was Austrian Jo Gartner in 1986.
Le Mans, the scene of motor racing's deadliest accident when at least 80 people died and scores more were injured in a 1955 disaster, ranks with Indianapolis and Monaco as one of the sport's great glamour events.
After the accident, the next 58 minutes were led by the safety car as repairs were carried out to the barriers at Tertre Rouge until green flags signalled a return to racing on a glistening track dampened by showers.
There were to be more safety car interludes over the coming hours while Audi, the dominant team of the last decade, suffered setbacks as they took the battle with Toyota into the night.
Germany's Andre Lotterer led at the time of the accident in the number one Audi R18 e-tron quattro diesel hybrid but his hopes of a third successive victory with team mates Marcel Fassler and Benoit Treluyer suffered a knockout blow at the quarter distance.
A problem with the motor generator kept the car in the pits for 43 minutes while mechanics worked to fix it and it eventually returned to the track in 24th place and 12 laps behind.
After 10 hours, it had moved up to 15th but still 11 laps down on the leader.
The number three Audi also hit problems, dropping to fourth place after limping back to the pits with a right rear puncture and then also requiring repairs in the garage.
While the number one car was stalled, the number two Audi took the lead with Denmark's eight times winner Tom Kristensen at the wheel in the car he shares with Britain's Allan McNish and Frenchman Loic Duval.
At the 10-hour mark, Kristen's Audi was a lap clear of the second placed Toyota of Frenchman Stephane Sarrazin, Britain's Anthony Davidson and Swiss driver Sebastien Buemi.
The Toyota of Austrian Alexander Wurz/Frenchman Nicolas Lapierre and Japan's Kazuki Nakajima was third.
Audi, winners at Le Mans for the past three years and 11 times in the last 13, had started in 1-2-3 formation after dominating Wednesday and Thursday qualifying with rivals Toyota in fourth and fifth.

Matsui N., C. N. Long, J. Augustine, D. Halliwell, T. Uttal, D. Longenecker, O. Niebergall, J. Wendell and R. Albee (February 2012): Evaluation of Arctic broadband surface radiation measurements. Atmos. Meas. Tech., 5, 429-438. doi:10.5194/amt-5-429-2012Full text not available from this repository.
The Arctic is a challenging environment for making in-situ surface radiation measurements. A standard suite of radiation sensors is typically designed to measure incoming and outgoing shortwave (SW) and thermal infrared, or longwave (LW), radiation. Enhancements may include various sensors for measuring irradiance in narrower bandwidths. Many solar radiation/thermal infrared flux sensors utilize protective glass domes and some are mounted on complex mechanical platforms (solar trackers) that keep sensors and shading devices trained on the sun along its diurnal path. High quality measurements require striking a balance between locating stations in a pristine undisturbed setting free of artificial blockage (such as from buildings and towers) and providing accessibility to allow operators to clean and maintain the instruments. Three significant sources of erroneous data in the Arctic include solar tracker malfunctions, rime/frost/snow deposition on the protective glass domes of the radiometers and operational problems due to limited operator access in extreme weather conditions. In this study, comparisons are made between the global and component sum (direct [vertical component] + diffuse) SW measurements. The difference between these two quantities (that theoretically should be zero) is used to illustrate the magnitude and seasonality of arctic radiation flux measurement problems. The problem of rime/frost/snow deposition is investigated in more detail for one case study utilizing both SW and LW measurements. Solutions to these operational problems that utilize measurement redundancy, more sophisticated heating and ventilation strategies and a more systematic program of operational support and subsequent data quality protocols are proposed.

Did Bradley Cooper & Renee Zellweger Call It Quits? (PHOTOS)
According to Us Weekly, the hunky actor split from his longtime girlfriend Renee Zellweger after almost two years of dating. What caused the rather sudden split?Busy schedules? Grew apart? While both are viable options, no one is really sure at this point, but Us Weekly reports that multiple sources confirmed the split, while neither Renee or Bradley's reps had comment.
Bradley had remained relatively mum on the relationship throughout his promotional tour of Limitless and would simply deny any engagement rumors. The two met in 2005 while filming the movie Case 39, but did not start dating until summer 2009.
Are you sad the two broke up? Check out some photos of a (reportedly) single Bradley out and about in NYC in the gallery and tell us on our Facebook or Twitter your thoughts on the news!

Pam Hutchinson, fifth grade teacher at Dry Ridge Elementary School, had a thought that just wouldn't die, so instead of ignoring it, she set into action.
Residents in need of ridding their house of unwanted garbage and appliances are in luck.
The annual Free Fall Clean-up, sponsored by the Grant County News, CSI of Williamstown, Grant County Solid Waste Management and the Grant County Fiscal Court, will be held during the next two weeks.
General waste and bulky items will be picked up Monday, Oct. 18, through Friday, Oct. 22, on a resident's normal collection day.
Items need to be neatly organized, bagged, bundled or tied and not exceed 75 pounds.
Brian Linder is presently magistrate for Dry Ridge, District 2. He is a Grant County native and has remained here all his life. I have known him since he was born.
I have always found him to be honest, truthful, hardworking and to have used integrity in all of his actions. He has worked hard for the citizens of this county and has sacrificed money and time to be a magistrate, so that he can make a positive difference in our government.
I would like to publicly thank Judge Executive Darrell Link for his prompt attention regarding an accident I had in March of this year.
School soon will be in session again in an one-room schoolhouse formerly used to educate black students in Grant and adjacent counties.
The Dry Ridge Consolidated Colored School, located at Grant County Park in Crittenden, has been refurbished and renovated to serve as a teaching tool about the history of Rosenwald schools.
The school will be dedicated during a ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 23.
For the rest of the story, pick up this week's Grant County News.
In the state of Kentucky, it is the job of the magistrate to oversee the spending of our tax dollars. Read that again and let it sink in.
Brian Linder is the person for this job. His experience alone speaks for itself. His daily job for the Owen County RECC is to save us money. Not for a big company, but for us. Right now, money is hard to come by, and even harder to keep, yet government spending seems to be at an all time high! Why do I have to stay within my budget, when the government doesn't have to?
For the years I have known Wanda Hammons, I have known her to be honest, full of integrity, full of character and extremely energetic. She stays busy and prefers it that way. What impresses me the most is her love for her community and its people, and she is always willing to stand up for what is right, regardless of the repercussions.
Simply stated, Hammons is 'good people.' I am proud to speak up on her behalf on whatever endeavor she pursues.
Darren Graham, NREMT-P, AS, FPC
Base Manager, PHI 6
Wanda Hammons, candidate for Magistrate District 2, is an extraordinary woman with numerous talents and abilities. How fortunate for Grant County that she will devote herself to continued service for the community that she dearly loves.
Hammons and I worked together for many years for the Grant County Board of Education. I served as director of federal programs and she served as my administrative assistant. She is highly intelligent, energetic, organized and compassionate.
I am writing this letter to tell you about Harvey Perleberg who is running for the office of jailer of Grant County.
I knew of him from my brother, Mike Louis, who was in jail at the time he worked there. My brother told me that if it wasn't for Mr. Perleberg, he would have had a hard time.
Perleberg went out of his way to make sure he had tooth ache medicine and paid for it out of his own pocket. That small act of kindness changed my brother's life. After he served his time, he moved south and raised a family and has never been in trouble again.
Williamstown is looking to make some history as the Lady Demons face Bullitt Central in the first round of the Region 8 Tournament.
To make it to regionals, Williamstown defeated Gallatin County in the semi-final match at the 23rd District Tournament, Oct. 13.
For coach Wes Staff he was ecstatic after the win over Gallatin County.
"It was great to see them come back when the points were going the other way," he said about his player's efforts. "It was great to see them fight back and not get discouraged."

About the Book
This album compiles pictures from my trip to France a year and a half ago. Included are shots from a wedding, photos taken around Paris, and snapshots taken on a beach in Royan, France.
"A year and and half later, I have decided that the adventures and encounters that I experienced in Paris and Royan should not go undocumented.
Throughout my 2 week trip to Europe, more than 900 pictures were taken, visually recording some of the most inspirational and impacting days of my adolescence. From terrified escapades around a dark Paris to cultured and sophisticated trips to museums to beach excursions, this vacation to France tested me socially, emotionally, and culturally.
This album serves as a reminder of the trip I appropriately called the "zenith of my teenage years." I am proud and thrilled to share it with you."

Awesome guys!....Silverman, you pulled the engine?? Why?
Asjborn, I sent you an email with my payment info since your fax number had an odd busy singnal this morning. Please confirm you received it.
Thanks for the footnotes Paraklas....I wouldn't have been able to figure out what I was mssing without your help.
My luck is still running bad, yesterday went to have my car dyno'd locally, they couldn't do it. They only had a chassis dyno and my car sits way too low. Oh well....
So I drove 100 miles to Stamford Ct to get the dyno done on a dynojet....Get there this morning and....the dyno is down for the day! Freakin A!...... The owner apologized for the inconvenience and offered me a free dyno at anytime that would work for me.
4 hours wasted today, two hours yesterday....I could had the kit half installed already! Still need to get a baseline dyno done....now I have to find "another" place unless I want to go back to Stamford CT!

Diabetes had rendered him legally blind and unemployed just a few years after graduating from Eastern Kentucky University. He filed for bankruptcy protection and quickly got rid of thousands of dollars of medical and other debt.
But his $89,000 in student loans were another unemployment, story. Federal bankruptcy law requires those who wish to erase that debt to prove that repaying it will cause an "undue hardship." And one component of that test is often convincing a federal judge that there is a "certainty of hopelessness" to their financial lives for much of the repayment period.

Gold, Silver Romp Higher on Inflation Fears
Old Yeller and Hi-Yo Silver keep on galloping, driven lately by a resurgence of inflation fears.
Gold is up about $8/oz, or 0.6%, to $1460.40/oz. Silver is jumping 43 cents, or 1.1%, to $39.61/oz. Gold is flirting with fresh records while silver is at fresh 2011 highs while still short of the $48.70 record reached Jan. 17, 1980.
The inflation chatter is stemming primarily from the spike in food and energy prices. Today, light, sweet crude is trading above $108 a barrel on Nymex and Brent crude is closing in on $123 a barrel in London. Corn, wheat and soybeans have all flirted with fresh highs in recent days amid supply concerns.
In the U.S., inflation as measured by the Fed – chucking out food and energy – remains subdued. But you can hear the incoming inflation rounds getting closer. In Europe, the European Central Bank is expected to raise rates tomorrow to combat higher prices. The Bank of England is under pressure to do the same. China, India and Brazil are all facing their own inflation challenges.
Meantime, the dollar's weakness is helping dollar-priced commodities edge higher. When the dollar falls, all things being equal, it takes more bucks to buy the same amount of stuff.
Miners and gold companies continue to benefit from the jump in gold and other metals prices. BHP, Rio Tinto, Freeport McMoRan Copper & Gold, AngloGold Ashanti, Barrick Gold and Goldcorp are all higher. Newmont is lagging today, one of the few miners in the red.

Virginia Beach VA (SPX) Oct 10, 2006
The theory that animals die when they've expended their lifetime allotment of energy may be reaching the end of its own life, according to a study presented at The American Physiological Society conference, Comparative Physiology 2006. However, the longitudinal study leaves open a newer form of the theory -- that antioxidants help prolong life by limiting the damage that oxidative stress can cause to cells.
"These findings join a growing body of evidence suggesting that lifetime energy expenditure per se does not underlie senescence," wrote Lobke Vaanholt, Serge Daan, Theodore Garland Jr. and G. Henk Visser in a summary of the study presented at Comparative Physiology 2006: Integrating Diversity. Vaanholt, Daan and Visser are from the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. Garland is from the University of California at Riverside. The conference takes place Oct. 8-11 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
A bit of background: One early theory, the rate of living theory, held that every organism has a set amount of energy to expend. Once the animal expended that number of calories, the grim reaper was on the doorstep. Over the years, the theory has become much more sophisticated, but metabolic rate and aging have remained linked, Vaanholt explained.
Decades ago, physiologists discovered that during metabolism, oxygen (O2) can split into single oxygen atoms, known as free radicals. These rogue oxygen atoms can remain on their own or combine with hydrogen atoms to form reactive oxygen species (ROS), which wreak havoc with enzymes and proteins and adversely affect cell function. The faster the metabolism, the more ROS produced, the modern theory goes.
Energy expenditure not the key
In this study the researchers divided the mice into three groups of 100 mice each. Two groups were "runner" mice, that is, mice that loved to run on the running wheels placed in their cages. One group of runner mice had access to running wheels, but the second group of runner mice did not. The third group consisted of regular laboratory mice that had a running wheel.
Vaanholt's team followed 60 mice from each of the three groups throughout their natural lives, nearly three years. They measured wheel running activity and took periodic measurements of body mass.
They found:
Runner mice that had access to a wheel expended 25% more energy over the course of their lives compared to both the runner group that did not have a wheel and the regular mice
Both groups of mice bred for running, one group with the wheel and one without, lived about 90 days less than the regular mice
The regular (non-runner) mice lived longest, 826 days, compared to the runners with a wheel, 735 days and runners without a wheel, 725 days
The rate of living theory would have predicted that the running group that expended more energy would die earlier than the two groups that did not, Vaanholt said. This was not the case. There was no difference in life span between the two runner groups, even though one expended more energy.
In addition, the rate of living theory would have predicted that the runner mice without the wheel and the normal mice would live approximately the same life span because there was no difference in energy expenditure between the two. This was not the case. The runner mice without the wheel died sooner.
"The shorter life span cannot, therefore, be explained by a difference in metabolism," Vaanholt concluded. "There must be something else going on that causes these animals to age and die."
More activity = higher metabolism = more antioxidants?
A second portion of the experiment involved the remaining 40 mice in each of the three groups. The researchers periodically used mice from these three groups to determine energy expenditure, body composition and the antioxidant enzyme levels and protein synthesis in the heart and liver tissues. The researchers selected mice, at two months, 10 months, 18 months and 26 months for this analysis.
Since the group of runner mice that expended more energy lived as long as the runner group that was less active, the researchers tested whether there was a difference in antioxidant production between the two groups. Since metabolic rate rises with activity level and oxidative stress rises with metabolic rate, perhaps the runner mice that expended more energy also produced more antioxidants, the body's defense against oxidative stress, Vaanholt said.
However, the study found no difference in antioxidant levels among the groups, at least in the heart and the liver, regardless of energy expenditure. "We would have expected additional antioxidants among the group of mice that expended 25% more energy, but that was not the case," Vaanholt said.
"We can conclude that the presence of a running wheel resulted in increased daily energy expenditure without a change in lifespan or in antioxidant enzyme activity in the heart and liver," Vaanholt explained.
Further research must examine whether tissues in other areas of the body generated additional antioxidants to help cope with the increased oxidative stress brought on with increased activity and metabolic rate, she said. In addition, future studies may examine whether other mechanisms are at work, including whether activity level is connected to DNA repair rates.

iPod cases by Etcetera
Rugenius recommended their Messenger Bags, but I like their iPod cases even better. Made by Etcetera Media, I like the really thick stitching on their felt cases, available in various shades of grey and some great colors. With Apple releasing new iPods every 6 months, you can never have too many iPod bags to carry your ever expanding collection of media device. and I bet it will even fit a Zune, if you believe in alternative digital audio lifestyles.
Really love these iPod nano cases - many different colors!Added 10 Years Ago from Etceteramedia

By Janice Lloyd, USA TODAY
SAN FRANCISCO The Olympic torch arrives today in the USA for another potentially fractious reception after weeks of unprecedented protests aimed at host country China.
REPORT FROM BEIJING: USOC's Ueberroth headed home
CLINTON TO BUSH: Boycott opening ceremony
While police won't provide details about security, protest groups from around the country are planning demonstrations during Wednesday's torch relay along San Francisco's waterfront — the only North America stop in the 85,000-mile journey from Greece to Beijing, where the Olympic Games open Aug. 8.
On Monday, chaotic demonstrations in Paris forced security officials to snuff out the torch five times and cancel the final run of the relay through the city. Protesters scaled the Eiffel Tower, repeatedly grabbed for the flame and yelled, "Free Tibet."
The torch is a symbol of international harmony. China is the focus of several protests, including independence of Chinese-run Tibet and China's overall human rights record.
In San Francisco, 10,000 people also will welcome the torch along the route, said Chark Lui, spokesman for the Chinese American Association of Commerce. "I hope that the whole thing can go peacefully," Lui said.
On Monday, three people scaled the Golden Gate Bridge, unfurled a banner and waved Tibetan flags.
The torch, which arrives today, won't be displayed until Wednesday's relay. Tibet supporter and actor Richard Gere, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Tibetan leaders plan to attend a candlelight vigil tonight.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said the violent protests are not "compatible with the values of the torch relay or the Olympic Games."
U.S. Olympic Committee head Peter Ueberroth said protesters "have a right to peacefully assemble and express their point of view."
Olympic historian David Wallechinsky said major protests against the torch relay are "unprecedented."
The protests began March 25 with the traditional lighting of the torch in Greece.
Sun Weide, spokesman for the Beijing Organizing Committee, said today: "We strongly condemn the handful of Tibetan separatists behind this. No force can stop the torch relay."

This article is primarily concerned with the profile of the tax liability of individual taxpayers in South Africa as well as the impact of tax reform policies since the mid-nineties on the progressivity of their tax liability using a static microsimulation tax model. Using the 2005/06 Income and Expenditure survey data from Statistics South Africa, the revenue base had to be determined and aligned to the official figures published by the South African Revenue Services and the National Treasury. This exercise required substantial manipulation of the data but the outcome is surprisingly close to the official R104 billion compared to the published SARS figure of R96 billion. The model allows for the dissemination of individual taxpayers by income groups, gender, educational level, age group, etc. Testing for progressivity, the results show that although still more progressive than most other tax structures world-wide, the level of skewness has marginally declined over the past few years with the share of those in the lower income groups gradually increasing. This phenomenon is also enhanced by relatively more taxpayers entering the tax net at this level. With the top marginal rates already at the current high levels little can be done at the higher end of the scale to expand the revenue base and therefore the solution lies in raising the contribution of those in the lower but especially the middle income groups. As far as gender is concerned, disparities in the labour market require an examination of tax policy that may contribute towards a more equal distribution of individual tax on a gender basis. The results also show that tax policy adjustments that contribute towards the improvement of the quality of education would also be a positive investment for future revenue collection.

Accommodation tends to fill up during high season, so you should aim to book ahead. Hostels are increasingly common in the main tourist destinations, while across the country, the tradition of the homely pension (panzió) or guesthouse (vendégház) still thrives, ranging from rooms in private homes to more professional outfits. Here, expect to pay from 8000Ft for a double. If you're really strapped for cash, try for university dorms – rooms are rented out in July and August, and often available at weekends year-round; local tourist offices can assist with bookings. Private rooms (vendégszoba) and apartments are also affordable and can be arranged through Ibusz, the nationwide agency (w www.ibusz.hu), or local tourist offices. Doubles range from 4000Ft in provincial towns to around 6000Ft in Budapest. Budget hotels are often rather old-fashioned; outside Budapest and Lake Balaton (where prices are thirty percent higher), a three-star hotel (szálló or szálloda) will charge from around 12,000Ft for a double; solo travellers may have to pay this too, since singles are not always on offer.
Campsites range from deluxe to third class. In high season, expect to pay around 800Ft per person per night, and up to twice as much around Lake Balaton.

I know I've had moments where I've thought about a time that seems not so far off, that talking to friends in person is becoming obsolete, and soon no one will ever take their eyes off of their computer or social networking device. These Apps will help that day come even sooner.
Facebook is nice because you can stay in touch with people without seeing their faces. Unless you want to, in which case it's awesome since people access it so often that it's common to be online at the same time as a bunch of your friends. This app alerts also you whenever something happens so you're not seeing an important message hours after it gets sent.
This App is perfect for most social network users because you're able to chat directly with your Facebook and Google Talk friends, and update your status for Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and Lifestream in just one click.
I love being able to bump my droid with another device with the same capabilities so we can share apps, contacts and more
This app is great since now I have no need of a computer when I want to tweet something that's on my mind

Why didn't Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels shake hands after the Broncos defeated the Patriots 20-17 on Sunday?
Turns out, the pair agreed prior to the game that they would skip the traditional postgame meeting of head coaches.
"We shook hands before the game, and we knew that there'd been so much made of his handshakes that we agreed to do ahead and (not shake)," McDaniels told reporters.
Belichick said he and his former protege, who's off to a 5-0 start in his rookie season, would "catch up."
And the Denver Post reported that Belichick met with McDaniels in the Broncos coach's office before he went back to New England. The two coaches had met and embraced prior to the game. And McDaniels embraced several Patriots coaches after he notched the victory against his old team.
McDaniels, who maintained in the previous week that playing the Patriots was just another game, acknowledged that wasn't true on Sunday.
"I lied," he said. "It was a little bit more special to me because I knew how hard it would be to beat them. … They don't beat themselves." -- Sean Leahy and Gary Mihoces

Employers Required to Provide Water, Shade for Employees
Keeping workers safe in this heat is the job of the employer. Making sure the job is getting done is the responsibility of Cal/OSHA.
The Division of Occupational Safety and Health, better known as Cal/OSHA, protects workers from health and safety hazards on the job in almost every workplace in California through its research and standards, enforcement, and consultation programs, according to Cal/OSHA's website.
Bill Krycia, is the statewide heat enforcment coordinator. His men are in the field making sure employer are looking out for their workers as temps hit triple digits. He says anybody who works outside deserves to be safe.
An adequate water supply means at least one quart per hour per employee, Krycia said. Employers must provide access to shade for outdoor workers any time the temperature is more than 85 degrees.
"Water and shade have to be close, because they're the cornerstone of prevention," he said.
And Krycia's inspectors have the authority to shut down job sites if adequate measures aren't being followed.
The division protects all outdoor workers from agricultural workers to police officers to construction workers.
Check out the Cal/OSHA website for guidelines to prevent heat illness.

It was revealed that McCarthy, 40 was being considered for Behar's spot back in July. Less than two weeks later, Walters confirmed the casting news on air, telling viewers of the ABC talk show that the popular blonde would be permanent co-host starting in September.
"Jenny brings us intelligence as well as warmth and humor," Walters said of McCarthy, who has appeared on The View 17 times, including eight as a guest co-host. "She can be serious and outrageous. She has connected with our audience and offers a fresh point of view. Jenny will be a great addition to the show as we usher in an exciting new chapter for The View.

Keep carp away
Kathy Ryan Staff Writer
write the author
October 31, 2013
Grosse Pointe Park — Declaring it an imminent threat, the city council approved a resolution urging federal and state officials to do something immediately about Asian carp threatening Michigan lakes.
"It would be a disaster to allow this fish to invade our water," said Mayor Palmer Heenan, as he introduced the resolution at Monday's city council meeting.
At issue is the invasive nature of the fish, first introduced in the United States in the 1970s to control algae at fish farms located in the south near the Mississippi River. The fish found its way into the Mississippi and have worked north. They threaten to enter the Great Lakes at several points near Chicago.
"For some reason, the Chicago people don't want us to prevent this," Heenan said.
The resolution, passed unanimously by council, endorses a physical separation as "the most effective way to keep invasive carp from entering Lake Michigan through the Chicago Area Waterway System, and such barriers would also prevent the movement of many other invasive species from one basin to the other."
Time is of the essence in establishing these barriers, the resolution continues, stating, "that preventing the invasive carp from entering the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence ecosystem needs to be approached with the greatest sense of urgency by all those responsible for dealing with this matter."
According to the resolution, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting a multiyear, comprehensive study across the United States side of the Great Lakes basin that examines 19 locations where the carp could cross over from the Mississippi River to the Great Lakes.
The resolution supports physical separation, deems it feasible and that it "can be done in a way that maintains or enhances water quality, flood control, and transportation."
The resolution concludes with the Park strongly urging "all parties involved to identify a preferred solution to the invasive carp issue and move forward to implement that solution with the greatest sense of urgency."
Councilman Dan Clark said DNA results indicate the carp may have breached the barriers in place.
"This would have devastating consequences," he said.
This is the second resolution the council has passed regarding Asian carp.
The first, passed by council in March 2010, urged the closing of locks near Chicago.

An al-Jazeera English reporter, Tony Birtley, later says: "I haven't been hugged by so many people since my daughter's birthday party."
7.11pm ET: US enforcement of a no-fly zone in Libya could begin by Sunday or Monday, according to anonymous US officials quoted by AP, and would involve "jet fighters, bombers and surveillance aircraft".
7.16pm ET: Italy announces it is opening its air force and naval bases in Sicily for operations against Libya - the obvious spot to base US and British jets.
The Berlusconi government may have had relatively warm relations with Libya, but Italy's Nato obligations gave it little choice but to allow other members to use its bases.
We drink stewed tea from Saif's best china and eat cheese sandwiches using his silver cutlery, while the young man, Abdulla, tells me about how his uncle was "disappeared" by Saif's father.

Nearly every room of this enormous house boasts a large, flat-screen television. The occupiers have tuned each one to al-Jazeera, for rolling coverage of the people's revolutions that are sweeping the Arab world. Televised gunfire echoes in the marble hallway as Jay, 25, explains how activists from the London squatting movement took over the Gaddafi family mansion, moving in secretly and putting up notices declaring their intention to hold the empty house under English common law. "We wanted to show our solidarity the best way we know how," he says.
"It's a symbolic and practical reclamation of private property that belongs to the Libyan people. It's about their struggle, which is why the place has been handed over to the Libyans as a place to organise and a safe space for refugees," he says. "People have been arriving in support from all over the UK..."
"Last night, at about four in the morning, someone came to the door," says Jay.
A spokesman for the group said "We didn't trust the British government to properly seize the Gaddafi regime's corrupt assets, so we took matters into our own hands."Saif Gaddafi's london mansion occupied (Thanks, Tim!)
"The British government only recently stopped actively helping to train the Libyan regime in "crowd control" techniques, through the Department for Business Innovation and Skills and a midlands based arms manufacturer, NMS Systems. As well as training the regime in repression, British corporations are also guilty of providing the same weapons that are now being used by Gaddaffi against the Libyan people."
The mansion is managed by Gaddaffi through a holding company registered in the British Virgin Islands. The spokesman for occupiers said "Gaddafi, Mubarak, the House of Saud and numerous other tyrants use front companies in British protectorates to avoid paying tax and above all to protect their anonymity. Britain actively assists tyrants, corporations and the super rich to rob their people blind. Our aim is to make sure that the assets stolen by Gaddafi are returned to the Libyan people and don't disappear into the pockets of governments or corporations. In the meantime we want to welcome refugees from the conflict in Libya and those fleeing tyranny and oppression across the world."

Class description
Title: Peregrine Thinking: The Politics of Conceptions of "Thought"
Thought is non-productive labor, and hence does not show up as such on balance sheets except as waste. - Bill Readings, The University in Ruins
Aesthetics presents philosophy with the bill for the fact that the academic system degraded it to being a mere specialization. -Theodore Adorno, Aesthetic Theory
Writing in 1997 about the emergence of the "market university," Bill Readings lamented the invisibility of the activity of "thought" under the justificatory regime of market efficacy and productivity. What counts as productive labor has implications for the experiences of thinking in education most valued and oft incorporated in learning. But how, we should wonder, are the operative accounts of thinking limiting? How might they be re-imagined and re-configured, and what kinds of thinking would such changes foreground and background? Rather than attempting to identify which limiting theory or paradigm of thinking should be "presented with the bill" for our current state and bring it to account (whatever we may think about it)—a direct politics of thought-as-object, we will try to explore experiences of what we might call "peregrine thinking," those often recalcitrant, back-grounded, subtleties of thinking that are hard to make represent-able, much less accountable to the more simplified views of productivity we normally assume. The term peregrine comes from the Latin "peregrinus," which indicates something alien, exotic, or foreign, and has been used to describe individuals who have no rights of citizenship. Used in this context, "peregrine thinking" is suggestive of exiled or ignored "thinking"? that is either subsumed under more common categories of intellectual labor, or considered as illegitimate if this cannot be done in some expedient way.
The CHID390 junior colloquium is designed to focus our attention on the theoretical and practical problems of interpretation and knowledge production generally, and in this particular version of the course, we will explore different ways in which "thought"? has been characterized as an activity, and the consequences of those characterizations. Most of these, let's call them "modes of thinking"? for now, have been considered errant, dangerous, purposeless, non-productive, non-serious, or even disavowed as something completely other-than-thought. We are often called to "think harder!"? about something when problems arise in the course of our education, but this usually means think with more precision using the knowledge-tools we have been given from a particular discourse or theoretical approach. During the nine weeks of the summer we will read some philosophy, novels, poetry, cultural theory, and experience some audio and game media in order to gain an enlarged understanding of the consequences of our conceptions of what counts as productive thinking.

Jeremiah's Ranch Vision
In 2010, a group of parents came together in Fallbrook out of concern for their adult children, all of whom have a developmental disability. Their concern was what was going to happen to their child when they no longer could care for them them. In 2011, the nonprofit called Jeremiah's Ranch was formed. The primary focus was, and still is, to create a community for their adult children to reside. Jeremiah's Ranch has built a community within Fallbrook offering many types of activities.
Jeremiah's Ranch has monthly support group meetings, educational guest speakers, parties and dances, and Special Olympics sports teams. In 2015, Jeremiah's Ranch opened the College of Adaptive Education, which is an inclusive non-accredited college experience offering evening classes such as Art, Dance, Reading, and History.
Jeremiah's Ranch is still looking for land in Fallbrook which would provide space to expand these programs and to meet the main goal of providing good housing. In the meantime, Jeremiah's Ranch relies on various churches and venues within Fallbrook to provide the space needed for current programs. The next step for Jeremiah's Ranch is to consolidate these programs to one location and have a place to call their own. To realize our goals, Jeremiah's Ranch is seeking funding for the purchase of land, or purchase of a property which can be transformed to a community center.

The following is an important check list for each search committee to consider as candidates are invited to campus for interviews.
Campus visit is a critical part of the recruitment process. The department or program has the opportunity to communicate the following messages:
Being aware of the following biases and their definitions can help evaluators avoid making snap judgments or inappropriate decisions.
The following are lists of bias interview questions for a variety of candidate groups. If you will be meeting with a candidate not listed in the examples below and have specific questions, you may contact the Vice Provost for Academic Diversity.
The most effective interviewers: are completely prepared; give the candidate undivided attention; put the candidate at ease; ask open-ended questions; listen at least 80 percent of the time.
Questions that are not job-related are inappropriate and illegal during all phases of the search process, including formal interviews, informal interactions between candidates and search representatives (including mealtime conversations), and reference checks.
Interview questions should be occupational questions aimed at discovering what the candidate can bring to the position and the university, and must be limited to issues that directly relate to the job to be performed. There are inquiries that are not permitted because they request or allow use of information that may lead to an unfair or discriminatory decision.
There is a fine line between being social and genuinely interested in the candidate as a person, and asking questions that can be interpreted as discriminatory or illegal. Therefore, avoid asking personal questions.
In addition to the various rules and regulations applicable to the hiring of any employee, the University must comply with U.S. immigration rules and regulations when hiring a foreign national. The University's failure to comply with these rules and regulations may jeopardize the University's ability to employ foreign nationals and may result in severe financial penalties to the University.
In order to ensure compliance and avoid unnecessary delays, the hiring Department should consult with the International Students and Scholars office (ISS) within the Office of International Affairs prior to entering into any negotiation to hire an individual who is on a non-immigrant visa status and is either, currently residing in the U.S., or will be entering the U.S.
One of the functions of ISS is to provide both the Department and the foreign national candidate with information and assistance for obtaining visa documentation and authorization for employment, and for maintaining immigration status.
Please note that ISS is the only University office that is authorized to submit immigration applications on behalf of Lehigh University.
Hiring a foreign national faculty member is not just about their initial employment offer but also about helping them to acclimate to both the campus and local community. Therefore, ISS looks at the following four stages when a new foreign national is hired.
On the [one year] anniversary of a foreign national faculty member's hire date, ISS will provide him/her with an update of immigration status, including any necessary steps he/she must take to remain in compliance with the U.S. regulations.
Also, ISS will provide periodic reminders to foreign national faculty members about changes in regulations that may affect them as well as any steps they must take if they are traveling outside of the U.S. to ensure they remain in compliance with their immigration status.
Colleges and universities are eligible to apply for labor certification on behalf of any foreign professor (as well as any other foreign employee who engages in classroom teaching), through a streamlined and advantageous labor certification process known as Special Recruitment. To be eligible, the College must engage in a "competitive recruitment and selection process" that led to the selection of the Foreign National. A Special Recruitment case must be filed within 18 months of the Foreign National's date of selection.
The Department of Labor as of July 16, 2007 requires employers to pay the legal costs for non-U.S. resident faculty to obtain labor certification for Permanent Residency. College and university teachers may obtain labor certification through a process that is now called "Special Recruitment."
The key points are as follows:
Faculty members seeking additional information are encouraged to contact Mr. Gang Wang, Director of International Students and Scholars at 610-758-6377 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Faculty members may also contact representatives from the law firms below for more information on the Special Handling and labor certification processes:
Wendy Castor Hess of Landau, Hess, Simon & Choi
Phone: (215) 925-0705
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
H. Ronald Klasko of Klasko, Rulon, Stock and Seltzer
Phone: (215)-825-8608 E
mail: email@example.com
If during an interview the candidate asks about schools or opportunities for employment for a spouse or partner, then these topics can be discussed. Top candidates can visit the Faculty Dual Career Program website, Life & DCConnect. Other resources are available about Work Life Balance and About the Lehigh Valley.
The program successfully fuses personal service with on-demand technology to support faculty and their spouses or partners through their searches.
Contact the Faculty Dual Career Assistance Program office at email@example.com for assistance.
Lehigh University must make a reasonable effort to learn about a candidate before inviting him/her to join the community. The university can best protect against liability for "negligent hiring" by checking background and references to the extent possible. Reference checks may also help clarify or dispel any concerns or uncertainties about a candidate, and may provide information that will help you supervise the employee more effectively.
It is true that many organizations give only the slightest information about a former or present employee (e.g., position title and years of employment). Nonetheless, you should attempt to conduct a reference check and document that you have done so with the results noted. This will protect the university in the event of a situation after the person is employed or if the person does not get the job and files a lawsuit.
For assistance in preparing to interview or evaluate a candidate with a disability, contact Lehigh University's Provost's Office at 610-758-3813, and refer to the Manual for Disability Accommodation for Faculty.
As an employer, Lehigh University is subject to both Section 503/504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. To be covered by the law, a person must currently have an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. The Supreme Court, in interpreting eligibility, has decided that when judging whether or not an individual has a disability recognized by the law, one must take into account any corrective measures that are being used to control or overcome the impairment, such as corrective eyeglasses, medication to control diabetes or other illnesses.
One provision of the laws on disability is that the university must provide reasonable accommodations for applicants and employees with disabilities who are able to perform the essential functions of the job in question. Individuals are more than the injuries they have.
Candidates with disabilities may include (but are not limited to):
These requirements should be well understood by those involved in a search process. All employers must be sensitive to the barriers faced by the qualified individuals with disabilities and must ensure that they have the same opportunity as all other applicants to be considered fairly for positions at the university. This may require providing accommodations in the interview process or in testing. In addition, we must clearly identify the essential functions of the job in order to determine whether or not each applicant can perform those tasks, with or without reasonable accommodations. When conducting an interview, all questions must be job-related and focus on the candidate's ability to successfully perform the essential functions of the job. All interviews should be held at a location that is accessible.
Qualified candidates cannot be rejected for employment because they need, or it is thought that they need reasonable accommodations. It is important to note that the cost of potential accommodations should also not be considered when making employment decisions. Although it is important to understand that people with the same disability or functional limitation may not have the same needs.

A story of arrogant developer vs patient system admin.
The world is filled with thieves, but it is also filled with persons who are very naïve. Here's an interesting story of an Australian woman who thought she bought 2 iPhones from another woman, but instead got 2 Apples instead. Ho...

Woman wants to use a password on her Windows account because without a password "it won't be secure". However, she wants Windows to remember her password so she doesn't have to type it when every time. Dot, dot, dot.

Sometimes I wonder if people prank tech support on purpose.

This reminds me that "secure" password-storing notebook. What was it called...
As the tech from support said: computers run on electricity, not magic -- removing the battery without plugging in AC power will force the computer to turn off.
Moral of this story: just because it is in the shape of a CD does not necessarily mean it will work inside a computer.

Semiconductor company Applied Materials (AMAT) reached fresh multiyear highs as AMAT stock powered higher on the back of positive comments out of Nomura. And while Thursday's 3.7% rally has further extended the year-to-date rally, more importantly, it had positive implications on the longer-term chart.
Nomura analyst Romit Shah on Thursday initiated coverage on this oldie but goodie semiconductor company. The analyst rates AMAT stock a "buy" and has a $30 price target on it, which would represent a roughly 50% improvement from current prices. Shah justifies his bullishness by saying the Street might be underestimating the company's earnings power.
In addition to Applied Materials, Shah also had positive things to say about, and initiated coverage on, KLA-Tencor (KLAC) as well as on Lam Research (LRCX).
Because semiconductor stocks historically have been an important group to watch — not only in terms of the leading indicator status, but also because the stocks routinely offer great opportunities for active investors and traders — I always keep a close eye on them.
AMAT Stock Charts
With that in mind, note that while Applied Materials, like many of its competitors, still remains far from the levels it enjoyed 14 years ago at the peak of the "Internet bubble," the more bullish posture over the past few years is obvious. For AMAT stock, after completing a marginally higher low in the 2011-12 period (vs. its late 2008 lows), the real bullish breakthrough came in September 2013 when the stock cleanly blasted past the long-term diagonal resistance line (black) on the weekly chart below.
In technical near-perfection, AMAT then spent the following three months consolidating above the former resistance line and retesting the breakout point. Ultimately, however, patience paid off when Applied Materials again began to rally and further confirm the September 2013 breakout in February after the earnings report.
With the long-term downtrend now firmly broken, long and medium-term investors can now play this stock from the long side with better comfort. While this doesn't mean that the stock will never again be at risk of a 20% mean-reversion correction, it does mean that the winds should now be at the back of the bulls again for the foreseeable future.
This brings me to the daily chart of AMAT stock, where I can speak of an equally impressive-looking picture. The mid-February rally broke the stock out of its multimonth consolidation range, which then quickly again led to another sideways move.
With Thursday's rally this latest consolidation zone also has been resolved to the upside, and this now opens AMAT stock toward the $22-$23 area over the coming couple of months, if not weeks. Momentum is on the side of Applied Materials, and until this momentum breaks, I prefer to ride in the direction of the current.

1. Tonight's game between Parramatta and Cronulla will give NSW a good idea of their chances against Queensland in State of Origin II. It will be Cronulla and NSW five-eighth Todd Carney's first game since his poor display on debut for the Blues in the opening match of the series. If he bounces straight back to the sort of form for the Sharks that won him selection against the Maroons in the first place, it will be a sign that he has put that disappointment behind him and is likely to improve in the must-win game on Wednesday week. But if he appears out of sorts and down on form against the Eels, it could suggest he is still rattled by what happened in Melbourne, when he made too many mistakes and failed to put his stamp on the game, and Blues fans would be entitled to feel nervous as a result. Carney looks like he should be at home in the Origin arena. Now is the time when he needs to prove it.
2.The selection of Tim Grant ahead of both Aaron Woods and Keith Galloway was a surprise to some, but it is still a better-looking NSW team for Origin II. Jamie Buhrer had to go from the bench, after playing just seven minutes in game one. He was a waste of a position for that game, given that he was only ever likely to get meaningful game time if something went wrong with Robbie Farah, Carney or Mitchell Pearce. There is no point in picking a so-called ''utility'' player for an Origin match unless he is a utility player of the high-class variety, like Kurt Gidley, or Craig Wing before him. I would have been tempted to bring in two props, as well as Anthony Watmough, and drop Ben Creagh, but the team that has been picked is bigger than the one we had for game one, and that is important. The bench, including Watmough and Luke Lewis, who drops back after starting in game one, has genuine game-breaking ability, as well, and that had to be found after Tony Williams became unavailable because of injury.
3. NSWRL chairman John Chalk is already backing Ricky Stuart to be the Blues coach again next year, if he wants the job. ''I see how hard Ricky works,'' Chalk said yesterday. ''He is very intense, but he's a good coach and he knows the human condition, which is important when you go into camp with a group of players who have different personalities and are from different places and you haven't got much time in which to get the job done.''
4. Players handle abuse on Twitter in different ways. Some hit back, others ignore it. And then there is the Sam Thaiday approach, which I think is very impressive. When the Brisbane captain is abused, racially or otherwise, he uses a method of reply that should make the abusers feel pretty small, if they had any brains. Thaiday was the subject of a short, expletive-laden rant on the weekend, to which he tweeted in reply: ''thanks for the great tweet mate I hope you feel better you got that off your chest''. On May 24, the day after Thaiday had played in the Queensland team that won Origin I, he was described as an ''Abo @#$%'' in a tweet. The word was spelt out, but can't be repeated here. Thaiday calmly tweeted in reply: ''Good on you buddy, but for future reference I am TSI not Aboriginal. Cheers champ. Chin up ace''.
5. Des Hasler was happy to give Krisnan Inu a few raps for his performance against South Sydney - particularly his critical field goal towards the end of the game. But the Canterbury coach knows when to shut things down for the good of the player and the team, and when the questions about Inu kept coming at the post-match media conference and he was asked whether he had thought the new signing would make an impact so quickly, Hasler replied: ''Oh, don't get too carried away. It's only two games. I'm not falling for that old trick.'' Inu is a freakish player and a genuine match-winner who has starred in his two games for his new club, but until it is clear the big mistakes that have made his career such a roller-caster have been coached out, he will remain a work in progress.
6. Parramatta coach Stephen Kearney is entitled to feel nervous about his job. He is contracted until the end of next season, but all the talk about the club reviewing its football operations and how the coach has been given every support could sound to the cynical like the Eels are positioning themselves to be able to justify the financial cost of sacking him if the results don't change soon. Kearney's contract allows him a full year's payout of $450,000 if he is sacked. The club would prefer not to have to pay out another coach from the final year of his contract, like it did Daniel Anderson to clear the way for Kearney. It's just not a good look.

Our Daily Correspondent
The ZebraBy Sadie Stein
Nathan Pyle has recently written an illustrated handbook for living in—or, perhaps even more crucially, visiting—New York. NYC (Basic Tips and Etiquette) contains such valuable tips as
- Beware of the empty train car, it's empty for a reason.
- Bring cash to group dining events.
- 12% chance you have spotted a celebrity. 88% chance you have spotted someone who vaguely resembles a celebrity. 100% chance you are awkwardly staring at someone while you argue about it.
These will, I think we agree, apply to any good-sized city.
Yesterday, two of Pyle's tips were very much on my mind. The weather had, abruptly, turned brutal: cold, with high winds and lashing rain. This weather! This weather! This weather! everyone chanted. Pyle is absolutely right in his assertion that "one $20 umbrella will outlast four $5 umbrellas." I went for my hardiest number, which is, incidentally, patterned with cheerful zebras on a red ground. Read More
