Granola Raisin Bread for the Bread Machine
Recipe by This Spatula
This is a moist, sweet bread that is fantastic spread with apple or pumpkin butter. These directions are for a 1 lb. loaf in the bread machine. Be sure to find out if your machine require liquid or dry ingredients to go in first. Note: This recipe makes a lovely loaf when baked in the oven - in this case, use the "dough" cycle on the bread machine only.
Top Review by LonghornMama
Lovely, slightly sweet bread! Would be wonderful for French toast or bread pudding, or a plain old peanut butter sandwich. The bread maker crushes the granola such that it adds a little texture without being lumpy. Only change I made was to use powdered milk rather than dry powdered buttermilk. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC fall 2007.

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink's stoppage-time winner rescued Celtic's Scottish Premier League title hopes from certain oblivion Wednesday night just as it seemed that 10-man Rangers would hold on for a point that would all but guarantee the title's return to Ibrox. Celtic's 2-1 win reduced the gap at the top to one point, but Rangers still has two games in hand. And while that certainly gives their Glasgow rivals the advantage, Celtic still has an opportunity to claw back three more points when it hosts Rangers again in 10 days.
The first Old Firm match to be played at
night in the SPL for eight years was a typically acrimonious affair. Shunsuke Nakamura put the hosts ahead in the 20th minute. The Japanese international collected a bouncing ball from about 30
yards and unleashed a fantastic dipping, swerving shot with his left foot that left Rangers keeper Alan McGregor McGregor with absolutely no chance. Then, 10 minutes into the second half,
substitute Nacho Novo brought the visitors level with a hard-struck, low diagonal shot from a tight angle.
With 20 minutes to go, Nakamura once again beat McGregor, only for defender
Carlos Cuellar to save the ball on the line with his hands, prompting an automatic red card and a penalty kick, which a visibly injured McGregor would save. Celtic kept pressing forward, and just
when the match looked to be over, Vennegoor of Hesselink latched onto a fantastic crossfield header from Scott McDonald to head home the game winner.

Hi Mike!
I am using ShrewSoft client ver 2.0 beta 4 (www.shrew.net) with
great results. Before that I have used GrenBow but there is licence
problem so this was reason to switch to another software.
I can send to you my setup files (with sensible data erased or changed).
All what you need to do is edit some IP to tailor to your needs.
Setup files are for M0n0 and ShrewSoft but it works with pfSense to.

Access to Grand Juries
Spartacus - OneManWreckingCrew wrote:Ron,I don't see a search function.Do you have any articles or advice for those of us who wish to bring charges against govt officials ?Am I correct that the grand juries are supposed to act as the fourth leg of govt in the chek and balance ?How to deal with govt who refuse to allows Citizens access to grand juries ?Thanks,Don Quixote in South Florida---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Don Quixote:
Thank you for your compliment on the jail4judges.org website. As to your concerns regarding a website search function, I have forwarded your concern to our Webmaster. He has been very diligent attending to people's concerns.
Now let me address your other three concerns regarding the Grand Jury. As you correctly point out, we have three branches of government, and each has a specified function which are supposed to be a check upon the other two branches. If it were not for the first two branches, the legislature and the executive, we would have no laws in this country beyond the Constitution.
Human nature being what it is, no matter which branch we are talking about, the inclination to corruption is ever present. It is not justified to pretend that corruption is possible only within the first two branches of which the judiciary is present to punish the offender. Judges are human beings too, and also manifest corruption. This is why we have the executive along with its prosecutorial powers. The problem arises when there exists a conflict of interest between these two branches. Needless to say, it is extremely difficult, and even next to impossible to get a prosecutor to prosecute a judge for corruption. Many prosecutors are seeking a judicial seat themselves, and that is where most of our judges come from, i.e., they are former prosecutors. The common People are barred from obtaining a position on the bench.
I have had a Deputy State Attorney General tell me personally, "Mr. Branson, you want us to go after these judges, but we just cannot do that. We have a conflict of interest. We are their attorneys. When you sue them, we appear and defend them. Also, we bring actions within the courts and are the attorney for the State, and we want them to rule in our favor. You are asking us to do something that is against our interests." Nonetheless, the Constitution in California specifically states in Article V, Sec. 13, "Subject to the powers and duties of the Governor, the Attorney General shall be the chief law officer of the State. It shall be the duty of the Attorney General to see that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced."
I personally knew Bob Philibosian, the number two man in the State Attorney General's Office. He served immediately under Dukemajian. I set up an appointment with him on this issue of him being the chief law officer of the State of California. When he discovered what I wished to discuss with him, he personally called me on the telephone prior to our appointment and said, "Ron, I cannot talk with you, I have a conflict of interest." I apologized to Bob for my misdirected appointment, and told him I need to speak with the one who is charge with seeing that all laws are uniformly and adequately enforced as set forth in the above constitutional mandate. He again said to me, "Ron, I just cannot talk with you," and he hung up.
The problem is, while we have too many laws on the books, many laws are good, but we just cannot get them enforced. So what happens when the chief law enforcement official tells you personally that he cannot talk with you about enforcement of the laws because he has a conflict of interest? Obviously, when a public official refuses to do a mandatory duty of which they have sworn to perform, one can bring an action within the courts. However, we run into another conflict that I cited to above, "When you sue these judges, we appear and defend them." So what happens when the chief law enforcement official is brought before a judge who is represented by the defendant?
What I have here done above is address with specificity the problem of which you in general are expressed in your concerns. We have laws on the books, but there is no one willing to enforce them. We have remedies in our courts, but they are not available. So the end result is that we get laws, laws, more laws, and even more laws unending. Everyone thinks that when things go bad we need another law to cure the problem. The fact is, as we get more laws, we get more corruption, followed by more laws, followed by more corruption. It is a vicious circle. Laws do result in remedies, enforcement does. But we have no enforcement. So when we have no enforcement, logic tells us that we need a law that provides for enforcement. But we have such enforcement, i.e., "It shall be the duty of the Attorney General to see that the laws of the State are uniformly and adequately enforced." This is not just any ordinary law on the books, but rather the Supreme Law of the State, but it just does not work. It is like a steering wheel that does steer; a brake pedal that does not stop.
So to answer your first question, "Do I have any advice for those wishing to bring charges against government officials? the answer is YES, it is J.A.I.L. Until J.A.I.L. is incorporated within society, society shall surely collapse by its own corruption as there just simply is no other remedy.
As to your second question. "Am I correct that the Grand Juries are supposed to act as the fourth leg of government in the check and balance?" That assumption is false. Grand Juries are not a fourth branch of government. Grand Juries are us, the People. We the People dictate through our Constitution the powers and limitations of the three branches of government. We mandate they take an oath to uphold our mandates. We are the "boss." The boss issues the orders to which they are to obey, and we, as their boss, are neither the subject nor object of our own orders that they must take an oath to obey the Constitution. Nowhere in the our Constitution which we have mandated, that the People shall take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. It is like a list of mandates posted upon the wall of a business directed to all employees. The first question then, is, is the boss who posted the mandates an employee? Obviously not! The rules only apply to employees.
So if the Grand Jury is not a branch of the government, what is their function. They are the last, final, and ultimate authority of the will of the People, as all power must ultimately return to the People. If this were not so, we would be in great trouble. When government ceases to function properly, it requires the unreviewable intervention of we the People. Is it not we the People in the forum of a jury, that decides whether to punish someone with the death penalty? Is it not we the People who exercise the ultimate power to acquit a defendant, and we have made our acquittal unreviewable by any reviewing court or tribunal? We the People do not allow the government to even think about placing one of our own on trial for a felony unless they have our permission. "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or other infamous crime , unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury..." Fifth Amendment of our U.S. Constitution.
All governments and all powers are subject to our rules and our regulations. The Grand Jury, which are we ourselves, are outside and above our own regulations which we impose upon our public servants. There can be only one final boss, and that big boss is US. We simply just cannot allow our public servants, who are our subjects, to make ultimate decisions on our behalf in which we do not have the final word.
I was mocked by a State Senator in South Dakota when J.A.I.L. was on the ballot in that state. He stated, "According to Mr. Branson, the Grand Jury is the ultimate power in this country." I responded, "Let's forget what Ron Branson teaches, and refer to our Constitution of the United States, and I then proceeded to give him a lesson on the Constitution. But wait, this Senator swore by an oath to uphold and defend our Constitution, but he is mocking the very document he took an oath to uphold. Does the word "Treason," come to mind? But who is going to enforce treason? So we see, inherent and ultimate unreviewable power must come from the People, and not from government. It can be no other way!
Your third question is, "How do with deal with government who refuse to allow Citizens access to Grand Juries?" This question is similar to one that asks, "What shall the People do when its subjects take over the People and the country and assert that they are the ultimate masters?" The problem here is that we the People have allowed our subjects to brainwash us. The CA Constitution says, "All political power in inherent in the People," Art II, Sec. I, but we the People have ignorantly chosen to hand over chief power to our servants to tell us what and when we can do certain things. We have mandated that we have the right to keep and bear arms, but we then allow our public servants to dictate to us, when, where, what and how we are allowed to exercise that rule. We instituted ourselves as the last and final authority, but have ignorantly allowed our public servants to dictate to us, when, where, what and how we have access to the Grand Jury. Until we the People wake up and assert that we are in charge, that we are not their servants, then we shall continue to obey their orders of we shall continue to be their subjects.
J.A.I.L. offered to reinstate the power of the People back within the Grand Jury in South Dakota, however we the People lackadaisically chose to believe the lie fed to us. We rather to look to our public servants to instruct us as to whether we should adopt the principles of J.A.I.L., and then they threw at us fear mongering. We listen to, and adopted their lies of the evils that shall befall us if we listen to Mr. Branson. After all, Mr. Branson is the enemy of the People. Mr. Branson hates our Founding Fathers, he is "seeking to overthrow this wonderful judiciary we have here in California" (Ret. Chief Justice Ronald George). We the People have a deep-seated love affair with the fraud and mismanagement of government. We just cannot depart from our adultery with the humanistic god of government, and we just cannot allow the words of Mr. Branson to interfere with that mutual love relationship with evil. Therefore, America's end is predictable, and its demise is sure!
Thank you, Don, for your email and for your questions. I trust I have adequately answered your concerns. God bless.

My Wonderful Experience at Ciao Bella Medical Spa And Vein Clinic
I have always been a very healthy person. Every check up I went to I always came out with flying colors. So, when I went to see Ciao Bella Medical Spa and Vein Clinic to get some cosmetic spider veins removed they actually took the time to examine me and make sure that the cosmetic problem wasn't the result of a medical problem.
So, when Angel took the time to ultrasound my legs, look at all the symptoms I was having that I wasn't even aware wasn't normal, I found out I was actually living with Vein Disease.
To no surprise, I was a little shaken up. But with the incredible staff at Ciao Bella they wasted no time to figure out a treatment plan that worked for me.
Angel explained everything that was happening during the ultra sound and even showed me the parts of my legs in the ultra sound that were in the most need.
Then I met with Stephanie and she was quick to lay out my treatment plan and schedule all of my appointments to have my Vein Disease treated with the laser therapy and injections.
And the day of my first treatment I was TERRIFIED!! But Dr. Zavala was INCREDIBLE and he explained everything to me. He even walked me through the entire process as it was happening and let me know when something new was happening. It really put me at ease to be so informed. Amy, who is his medical assistant, was very attentive and calming. She has really helped keep me at ease when my nerves would get the best of me.
My follow ups have been pretty through as well. They've all made sure that I was healing properly, have asked several questions about how I am recovering at home, and making sure I am following all of the post op care.
I've never felt so at ease with such a great team and on top of that, they are very personable so you feel like you are in the hands of close friends.
My experience has been nothing but perfect and I would recommend Ciao Bella to any of my friends and family.
The best part is, they are not just a vein clinic. They also perform all cosmetic procedures from facials to Full Mommy Makeovers!
So, go in and see Dr. Zavala and the entire staff at Ciao Bella Medical Spa and Vein Clinic for all of your vein and cosmetic needs. You will NOT be disappointed.
You can visit them online at CiaoBellaMedicalSpa.Com OR give them a call at 480-686-8121 to schedule your consultation and have the same wonderful experience I'VE had!

Condition: Standard
All Product Details
In luminous prose, award-winning author Yiyun Li weaves together the lives of unforgettable characters who are forced to make moral choices, and choices for survival, in China in the late 1970s.
As morning dawns on the provincial city of Muddy River, a spirited young woman, Gu Shan, once a devoted follower of Chairman Mao, has renounced her faith in Communism. Now a political prisoner, she is to be executed for her dissent. While Gu Shan's distraught mother makes bold decisions, her father begins to retreat into memories. Neither of them imagines that their daughter's death will have profound and far-reaching effects, in Muddy River and beyond. Among the characters affected are Kai, a beautiful radio announcer who is married to a man from a powerful family; Tong, a lonely seven-year-old boy; and Nini, a hungry young girl. Beijing is being rocked by the Democratic Wall Movement, an anti-Communist groundswell designed to move the country toward a more enlightened and open society, but the government backlash will be severe.
In this spellbinding novel, the brilliant Yiyun Li gives us a powerful and beautiful portrait of human courage and despair in dramatic times.
2. Among the many characters we meet in Muddy River, there are several distinct family groups, including Nini, her parents, and her five sisters; Bashi and his grandmother; Kai, her husband, baby, and in-laws; and Teacher Gu and his wife and daughter. What do these different family units tell the reader about family life in China since the revolution? What traditions have been upheld?
3. Teacher Gu reminds his wife of an ancient poem: "Seeing is not as good as staying blind" (page 103). What is he trying to tell her? Which characters experience incidents or confront issues of sight versus blindness? How does the message of this line relate to The Vagrants as a whole?
4. What does this novel tell us about being an insider versus being an outsider? How do characters who are clearly outsiders— such as Tong, who was raised in a village, and Bashi, who does not have a work unit—fare in Muddy River? How are they viewed by reg- ular workers and schoolchildren, and how do they interact with such characters?
5. Gu Shan's denunciation brings together residents from all parts of Muddy River society, yet the reader does not know her as well as many other characters in the book. What can you infer about her character, beliefs, and behavior from the other characters? Is she guilty? Is she innocent?
6. Certain characters, such as Kai, outwardly appear to be agents of the state and disseminate state propaganda. In which instances do characters unwittingly act as agents of the state? What do these examples show us about oppressive governments and societies?
7. Ghosts, such as those of Gu Shan or Bashi's grandmother, are invoked at different points throughout the novel. What role do ghosts play in the minds of the characters? In the larger story? What does the juxtaposition of modern government propaganda with traditional beliefs such as the belief in ghosts illustrate?
8. When Han fears a reversal of his good fortune, he reminds Kai of the saying that "the one who robs and succeeds will become the king, and the one who tries and fails will be called a criminal" (page 208). He is clearly referring to his own political future, but to which other characters and situations in The Vagrants can this saying be applied? Do some of these situations recur in literature and history? Compare these external examples to the ones in the novel.
9. Though the events in the novel are complex, they represent only one relatively small, provincial city in the vastness of China. Stepping back, do you think that the circumstances in Muddy River were similar to, or differ from, circumstances in other cities in China? Beijing? How do the characters view Beijing?
10. The stark and vivid images in this novel are unique. Can you point out a few effective images that helped the novel come alive for you as a reader?
11. Discuss some of the most universal themes of The Vagrants. What makes them universal? In what ways do Yiyun Li's distinctive style and use of language contribute to, or reinforce, these themes?

NGOs: Reports
Commercial Spaceflight Federation: 2009 Annual Report
"This report showcases a year's worth of exciting progress for the commercial spaceflight industry and the members of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation," says Bretton Alexander, Commercial Spaceflight Federation President, in the opening page of the report.
America's Future in Space: Aligning the Civil Space Program with National Needs
"The U.S. civil space program should be aligned with widely acknowledged national challenges, says a new report from the National Research Council. Aligning the program with pressing issues - environmental, economic, and strategic - is a national imperative, and will continue to grow in importance. Coordination across federal agencies, combined with a competent technical work force, effective infrastructure, and investment in technology and innovation, would lay the foundation for a purposeful, strategic U.S. space program that would serve national interests." "The report also recommends revitalizing NASA's advanced technology development program by establishing a DARPA-like organization within NASA to support priority civil and commercial space programs, and development of "dual-use" space technologies, with both civil and defense applications."
American Perception of Space Exploration | CCSA
This is a very useful report by the Center for Cultural Studies & Analysis (CCSA) that places the public view of the value of space exploration within the context of a national vision for the future. One conclusion is that "NASA does not have a branding problem; it has a communications problem, in that people do not understand the connection between the NASA brand and its current activities." Since space commerce is closely associated with NASA's brand, the conclusions reached are important for branding the emerging commercial space market and the potential value to its stakeholders. .
SEC Recommendations to the NASA President-Elect Transition Team (PETT)
Commercial space-related recommendations included: • Continue COTS-like partnerships. • Increased on-ramps for commercial opportunities. • "Don't reinvent the wheel"- use existing commercial satellite service providers for data, voice and video communications applications. • A national investment in NASA will ensure we remain global leaders in high technology and inspire thousands to study the science, technology, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) disciplines."

Last night, Garmin announced the "Nuviphone," a touchscreen smartphone with all the built-in GPS features you might expect from the company. Built around a 3.-5inch touchscreen with no dedicated buttons (at least on the front), the Nuviphone should be able to do pretty much everything the iPhone can do, like full-screen web browsing, email, and SMS over Wi-Fi or 3G (HSDPA). The GPS functions include points-of-interest information, photo and video automatic geotagging, and live traffic updates.
The only thing holding the Nuviphone back at the moment is a carrier, but considering their choice of 3G radio, AT&T is the likely choice when the phone launches later this year.
It looks like a hell of a device. As long as they put the same spit shine on the interface that Apple did, they could have a real contender on their hands.

Carly McKinney, aka CarlyCrunkBear: DJ Diplo rallies for suspended teacher at #FreeCrunkBear
Overland High math teacher Carly McKinney became a newsmaker this week after flirty photos and dope-themed tweets on her now-deleted Twitter account led to her suspension and an investigation into her actions. Now, however, Twitter Nation is rising up in her defense, with a high-profile personality leading the charge: DJ Diplo, who vows to use all his whiles to get the #FreeCrunkBear hashtag trending before the day is out.
As we've reported, 9News received a tip about McKinney's account, @crunk_bear, which she told the station she shares with a friend. She insisted that someone with access to the account had posted items without her say-so, including photos like this one....
...and this one.
Also featured were tweets like "Naked. Wet. Stoned" and "Watching a drug bust go down in the parking lot. It's funny cuz I have weed in my car in the staff parking lot."
Afterward, McKinney, a first-year teacher still in her probationary period, was put on paid administrative leave while the Cherry Creek School District looks into whether she may have violated the drug-free-school-zone policy or tweeted on school time -- pretexts for punishment or even firing that might be used in lieu of taking action against her for the Twitter account itself. This effort brings up a raft of questions about free speech and potential retaliation that recalls the Ward Churchill case at CU-Boulder.

Meanwhile, International Digital Times reports that McKinney sent an NSFW photo to Diplo, an acclaimed DJ and producer who's worked with stars such as M.I.A. in addition to his own solo recordings. He's said to have retweeted it amid a promotional blitz for his latest single, "Express Yourself," featuring Nicky B.
To give the image some context, here's a look at Diplo's Twitter profile photo:
Now here's the McKinney image, which was accompanied by the message, "Listening to @diplo in the shower leads to this... #expressyourself #whitegirlass #twerk #twerkteam." Continue for more about DJ Diplo's Twitter campaign on behalf of Carly McKinney, including photos.
There's no telling whether Diplo's retweet had anything to do with McKinney's Twitter account coming to 9News' attention, but he's certainly taken her plight to heart. His Twitter feed currently overflows with messages featuring #FreeCrunkBear. Here's an item posted seven hours ago at this writing:
Tomorrow I'm gonna use all my internet mumbojumbo to get #freecrunkbear trending !! Ok so be prepared
— dıpןo (@diplo) January 31, 2013
Shortly thereafter came this:
Ok fuck it.. My peoples let's free crunkbear now!
— dıpןo (@diplo) January 31, 2013
He also shared this graphic:
One person on Diplo's feed suggests that everyone change their Twitter avatars to the flag above, while others are using the #FreeCrunkBear hashtag without quite knowing why. An example:
Don't even know what this is about, but because @diplo is tweeting it #freecrunkbear
— arianne (@renNmoi) January 31, 2013
In the last few hours, someone's also launched #FreeCrunkBear Twitter and Facebook pages -- although they're unlikely to please the school district. Here's the graphic for the Twitter feed:
In contrast to all this online activity, McKinney is laying low. But Diplo and his followers are making sure her case isn't forgotten.

Wanting more Era Vulgaris than Songs for the Deaf?
Printable View
Wanting more Era Vulgaris than Songs for the Deaf?
I wouldn't really call Six Shooter or Mosquito Song experimental. They certainly fit in with stuff they'd done previously, whilst I thought Era Vulgaris seemed to deviate a little more from what they'd done previously. The new songs for me really harken back to Rated R/Songs for the Deaf for me, which is exactly what I want.
Also, only those two?? I'm not a big fan of Suture Up Your Future, but the rest of the tracks range from good to great.
Either way, we're not exactly talking about Swans here. Like Gerbick, I'd rather Homme just went back to Kyuss.
This is a bit cheating, posting a videogame song here but screw it. Whenever I terraform the maps in Simcity 4, this beautiful piece of soundtrack shows up and I always wonder why people would prefer the 3000 soundtrack more
Sun by Cat Power
DOOM's soundtrack is at its best when it's quiet.
Chance the Rapper
I don't usually listen to this kind of thing, but this by The Glitch Mob is quite pleasant.
I've only listened to it a couple of times but the Public Service Broadcasting album Inform - Educate - Entertain has put a big smile on my face.
Was pleasantly surprised to find this decent live recording of Yura Yura Teikoku! This particular song is perhaps best known as the soundtrack of the divisive from a critic's point of view - but certainly highly entertaining - Sion Sono film 愛のむきだし (Love Exposure).
Chris Hadfield performing Space Oddity by David Bowie, on the International Space Station. He is returning to Earth today.
Protomen - The Stand at the moment. Some seconds ago Beatles - Come Together
Streaming the new Daft Punk album.
Initial impressions are disappointment (though I think I was prepared for that after some of the initial reviews).
There's nothing particularly bad about it, pleasant enough, but not really what I'm after from a Daft Punk album. Comparing the first 5 tracks of this, meandering along like pleasant electronic lift music, to the kick in the arse of the first five tracks of Discovery can only lead to disappointment. It's unexpected to say the least that the best thing on it so far has been the Julian Casablancas collaboration.
Hopefully picks up in the second half and I'll need to give it another couple of listens to properly judge it, I don't know if I'm unconsciously being unfair because of the hype.
As is this.
Waterflame - Glorious Morning .. The soundtrack to the Age of War flashgame I had some fun with years ago, gave me a nostalgic feeling, though the song is awesome in its own right.
Thanks for reminding me why Spiritualized are on my mental "must get around to investigating further" list.
In more "new" news the National's latest Trouble Will Find Me is now streaming on iTunes (seems to be a thing now, Daft Punk and Vampire Weekend both did it). After the disappointment of Daft Punk it's a pleasure to hear the National delivering what they are good at. As the archetypal makers of albums that "grow" I'm not going to judge for certain where it sits with their other albums (gut instinct is on par with High Violet and Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers but slightly below Alligator and Boxer), but funnily enough I'm liking it straight away, perhaps because the band has grown on me so much their songs no longer need time to bed in.

For a long time, no one understood what I did for a living. I worked at a startup (first point of confusion) that helped organizations implement crowdsourcing (second point), where I was the community manager (yeah, that's where I lost everyone). I thought my job was pretty cool, so I wanted to tell other people that they might like it it as well.
Through work, I've been lucky enough to meet others who have jobs that sound pretty cool, but aren't easy to explain.
I started this blog as a way to highlight all of the interesting people I meet and how they spend their time.
If you know someone that is smart, that would be willing to share a little about what they do all day, send me their info to sarah at iknowsmartpeople.com.

Communities In Schools of Greater Central Texas will have a new executive director at the helm for the 2013-2014 school year.
The nonprofit's board of directors announced Friday that Michael Dewees, the organization's director of development, was chosen to replace outgoing executive director Mary Barr beginning in September.
"We had several incredible candidates apply for the executive director position," said Lisa Griffin, CIS board chairperson. "But Michael's knowledge of the program and experience were key factors in the board's decision. We look forward to a bright future for CIS under his leadership."
Dewees began his career at CIS in 2001 as an executive assistant to the director, and was promoted to director of development in 2005. Dewees currently writes grant opportunities for the nonprofit agency, and acts as its legislative and community liaison.
Dewees graduated magna cum laude from Texas A&M University with a bachelor's degree in history. He served in the U.S. Naval Reserve for eight years. He is a member of the Killeen Kiwanis Club and has been the club's secretary since 2007.
"(Barr) was a great mentor," Dewees said. "I'm very happy to continue the work we do helping children."
CIS operates on school campuses in seven school districts — Killeen, Copperas Cove, Belton, Temple, Cameron, Florence and Salado. The organization provides staff on campus and its services range from academic enhancement, such as tutoring and homework groups, to offering basic support needs, including food, clothing, school supplies, eyeglasses and other medical needs.

In her New Year message, councillor Barbara Janke, the Liberal Democrat leader of Bristol City Council, said it faced "tough choices".
She said: "We have a clear agenda to deliver the ambitions of Bristol as a major European city and capital of the South West region.
"This includes providing the quality of services and facilities needed."
She went on: "2006 will present us with significant challenges and tough choices.
"The budget will not be an easy one to set and we have to ensure real, long-lasting change and improvement in the way we deliver housing; social care; cultural and leisure services; transport and traffic management.
"Some of the changes we have to make will not be universally popular or easy to implement. However, we believe that the majority of the people of Bristol will share our determination to start the massive task of transforming the city council's service delivery and rebuilding its reputation."

It's been over one hundred years since our ancestors began emigrating to America. The earliest record I've found dates to the 1899 arrival of Max Kipilman. Max was a son of Hersz Leib and Cywja Kippelman. The Kippelman family came to the US from Kolki in present day Ukraine. There are links below that will help you to learn more about Kolki.
Take a look at some old family photos and documents.

• This year, YouTube users are uploading 100 hours of video every minute. Who knew the world had so many adorable kittens? But users of Dropcam, a Wi-Fi spycam popular with working moms, uploaded even more.
• Think Instagram is the king of photo apps among obnoxious hipsters? Think again. So far this year more than three times as many photos have been uploaded using Snapchat. Think of Instagram as the portraits you hang on your wall, while Snapchat is more like the Polaroids you hide in your underwear drawer. Enough said.
• On average, people look at their smartphones 150 times a day, only sometimes because they find you hopelessly boring. But this is leading to an explosion of wearable devices like Google Glass that deliver data to you without forcing you to be rude.
• Name the No. 1 education resource on the Internet. Wikipedia? Nope. iTunes U? Guess again. University of Phoenix? Come on, son. No, the numero uno source of "learning tools" is Twitter, or so says a survey by the Centre for Learning & Performance Technology. See? You can earn your doctorate 140 characters at a time; it will only take you 347 years.
• U.S. colleges awarded a bit more than 50,000 computer science degrees to undergrads every year. The number of annual job openings for applicants with computer science degrees: 120,000. The number of H-1B visas issued last year? 85,000, or the same number as for the last 10 years. Now if only somebody in government knew how to do that math on that...
• 100 million Americans are now officially labeled as obese, or twice the percentage of 1990. Medical costs associated with obesity have also doubled. Maybe it's time to lay off the Pepsi and pork rinds and talk a walk, eh?
Probably the most compelling part of the slideshow are the notes about innovative technology companies reimagining communications, financial services, housing, transportation, retail, and education, with the possibility of doing the same for our obscenely overpriced, stuck-in-the-1980s health care system.
That would be just what the doctor ordered.

The Best Cool New Gadgets at CES 2014 – Edison
Two of the big themes emerging from the long list of cool new gadgets at CES 2014 have been wearables and the Internet of Everything — where just about any object you can imagine is connected to the web.
Something has to power all these devices, though, and that's where Intel (INTC) is trying to position itself with Edison. One of many cool new gadgets from Intel, Edison is essentially a PC shrunk down to the size of the SD card you use in your digital camera. Each Edison houses an Intel Quark dual-core processor, integrated Wi-Fi and a Bluetooth radio.
It's inexpensive, low power, totally connected, capable of running apps and small enough to be embedded in anything from a coffee cup to the Mimo wearable baby monitor Intel was showing off at CES 2014.
Intel thinks Edison is a game-changer … and there's a good chance it may be right.

An ATM is located in the faculty mailroom in the basement of the Main School Building.
Finance Office
Is there an ATM on campus?
How do I open a checking account at a nearby bank?
The Finance Office will help you open a personal checking account at a local bank in Greenfield. After the initial deposit, the student is responsible for the account.
I've lost my ID card. How do I get a replacement?
If you lose your ID card during the course of the year, report the loss and get a replacement immediately. Replacement ID cards cost $10, and the Finance Office will provide them.
Does the Finance Office cash checks?
The Finance Office will cash personal checks up to $250, except those drawn on overseas banks. If you wish to cash overseas checks, you should set up a local bank account.
Do students have ID cards?
Each student is issued a photo ID card at the beginning of the school year, which he or she can use to access dormitories, check out materials at the library and make purchases at campus stores (Hitchcock House, Athletic Store, Greer Store, and Louis Cafe). Our present card system is now being converted from a charge system to a debit system. Parents will receive information in August 2016 as to how to apply funds and set up this debit account.

Murugesan(Bharath), a flower-seller, is an irresponsible, good-for-nothing young man, constantly being chided by his
father. He falls for Parijatham(Poonam Bajwa), the daughter of a Brahmin priest. Parijatham, in order to stop Murugesan
from romancing her, asks him to turn over a new leaf and earn his father's love and respect. Meanwhile, Parijatham's sister
Gayatri(Simran) gets married and her unscrupulous brother-in-law is ready to help the village landlord(Sampath), who has his
eyes on Parijatham.
Ever since Aaydha Ezhuthu and Virumaandi,
may of our directors have attempted to add spice to their stories by narrating them via non-chronological screenplays.
What was a fresh and new technique in 2004 has now gotten stale with every other movie incorporating a screenplay that moves
backward and forward in time, regardless of whether it serves any purpose other than giving the director a chance to say
"See, I did it too!". Hari does the same in Seval, starting off in the present, then moving to 1991 to show us
a few events and then moving further back to 1989 to show how it all started. Not only is this unnecessary for the kind of
story he narrates, it needlessly complicates things, making us think far more than necessary to understand the chronology
of events.
The romance between Bharath and Poonam is one of the few things the movie gets right. It has a light-hearted start with
Simran's misunderstanding about the object of Bharath's affections leading to a few mild laughs. Even after it gets
serious, Poonam's initial reluctance and her way of handling it are believable, as is her change of heart and the reasons
leading upto it. The relationship between Bharath and his father is also handled well though the number of recent movies
we've seen with the same 2 characters - the strict father and the wayward son who keeps disappointing him - makes many of
the situations and the dialogs seem familiar.
To Hari's credit, the story doesn't proceed exactly as expected and one of the plot developments, which doesn't happen too
often in Tamil cinema, especially in commercial entertainers, is a definite surprise. But the proceedings thereafter
wipe away all the goodwill earned by these surprises. As Poonam goes through some of the worst humiliation and torture endured
by a Tamil cinema heroine, the movie turns into a manipulative tearjerker. Only problem is, it disgusts us instead of moving
Bharath, who had some very interesting movies and roles early in his career, seems to have adopted the masala route, as
shown by movies like Pazhani and this. Though his choice of movies and directors is a little sad,
he is admittedly well-suited for these kinds of roles also since he fights and dances well and is sincere in his performance.
The orthodox Brahmin girl role sits well on new face Poonam Bajwa and she looks quite pretty. Simran gets the chance to show
of her comedy and histrionic skills and shows that she still hasn't lost touch with acting. Vadivelu gets a few laughs as
he tries to help Bharath convey his love to Poonam.

We're five weeks in to American Idol's 11th season, and unlike in previous years, it's not so easy to predict which three or four vocalists will still be standing come mid-May. With that in mind, we've whipped up some advice for the remaining contestants — assessing their strengths and weaknesses, and suggesting some unexpected song choices that could help them in their quest to inherit Scotty McCreery's crown and sash. Ch-ch-check out our gallery, then hit the comments with your own suggestions. And for all my Idol commentary, news, and recaps, follow me on Twitter @MichaelSlezakTV!
Holly Cavanagh suggestion: Justin Timberlake's "What Comes Around Goes Around"
Are you freaking serious? Do you work for VFTW?
Geez! I thought that was a great idea!
I'm a huge fan of Slezak, but I've always thought his song recommendations have been wacky (and not in a good way).
I thought Holly sounded great on the Madonna song last night (better than the other two women and better than her solo song) so what about an uptempo Madonna number to show she's not all just about treacly ballads and big notes. And I'm not particularly a Holly fan mainly because so far that has all she has been about.
That trio of Madonna songs led me to wonder why there have not been more singers that have done her songs on idol (or that there hasn't been a Madonna night but there have been several Stevie Wonder and Elton nights, etc.)
I also wondered why all of the idols didn't sing Stevie/Fleetwood Mac songs in trios since she was the guest host (why did we need ANOTHER Michael Jackson medley).
Michael, you advise DeAndre to "steer away from material that demands an emotional depth beyond his teenage years".
But a song you suggest is Supertramp's "Logical Song"?
Have you listened to the lyrics of that song?…lyrics that long for the simplicity of youth compared to the complexity and challenges of navigating life as an adult…DeAndre would make a train wreck out of the introspection required to perform that song convincingly.
Oh my gosh I would love to hear Elise sing "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Paparazzi" Genius!
Also, I love Phillip but I just don't think he has the pipes to tackle Karen O's vocals on "Maps." Although, I guess I would be interested in seeing him try.
But there are several George Michael selections that he could turn blue (from jazz) that would be *phenomenal*.
I'd steer Philip towards Grace Potter's "Ah Mary" from the first album (not sure if I have the title 100% right) instead of "Paris, Ooh La Law (or perhaps Elise would be good at that). Or something from Evanescence (ditto for Elise).
Or perhaps Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" (or "Digging in the Dirt", "Big Town", "Sledgehammer", etc.)
Send Heejun home this week!
Please put America out of its misery.
Putting America out of it's misery would involve an eviction in D.C.
So true, when we get rid of all those idiot republicans, America will be so better off!
HA! Awesome! With you all the way on that one Marsaili!
Phillip Phillips should take a Kris Allen song and make it his own!
I sure wouldn't want to hear a Kris Allen song bulldozed like that, not that I even listened to his post-Idol material.
You don't know what you're missing! He has a new song out this week, too. Love it.
And I'm sure I don't want to hear a Kris Allen song at all. Phillip's got tons of great material to use, why bother what songs no one has heard?
No, the idol contestants should stay away from ANY song done on a previous idol contestant's albums even if the song is not yet well-known. Especially anything by Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry and Carrie Underwood.
Michael, Michael, Michael…please don't tell me you think (This is) Dedicated to the One I Love is a Mamas & Papas original. The Shirelles deserve a great big 1960's shout-out for girl group glory!
amen to that!
I love that you put a Robyn song for Hollie. I was thinking she would be great on the acoustic version of With Every Heartbeat or Hang With Me.
OMG! Hang With Me! GREAT IDEA!
"Dacing On My Own" would be PERFECT for Hollie!
yesss i need hollie to do robyn
Poor Randy and the air quotes. Haha, after getting booed he was like "come on, come on this is 'constructive' criticism I'm trying to give" hah giving air quotes when he said "constructive" hah. Not that he really said anything wrong this time, but yeah, still trouble with those air quotes.
I had the same thought when he was doing it. He has no idea what air quotes mean. When he used them (incorrectly), it gave off the impression that he was being sarcastic and that his criticism really was not constructive. And most of the time, it is not but in this case, it was.
his air quotes sure could applied when he gave 'constructive' criticism to Haley last season though….
YES MICHAEL!!!….joshua doing "stranger in my house" ….brilliant song choice. i've never heard a man sing it. but i have tamia's you tube live version performed at the apollo theater in my favorites list. LOVE that song and her performance. i could also hear jessica singing it :)
Great song choices Michael! Here's my dream set list:
Colton- How To Save a Life (The Fray), 100 Years (Five for Fighting), Here Without You (3 Doors Down)
DeAndre- Turn Your Lights Down Low (Bob Marley)
Elise- Fire and Rain (James Taylor), Fast Car (Tracy Chapman), You Know I'm No Good (Amy Winehouse)
Heejun- Dancing Shoes (Gavin Degraw), I'll Be (Edwin McCain)
Hollie- Fighter (Christina Aguilera), My Immortal (Evanescence), Too Little Too Late (JoJo)
Jessica- Heartbreaker (Mariah Carey), It's Raining Men (The Weather Girls)
Joshua- You (Marvin Gaye)
Phillip- Best of You (Foo Fighters), Roxanne (The Police), Push (Matchbox 20)
Skylar- Dani California (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Cry (Faith Hill), Travelin Soldier (Dixie Chicks
Not sure about this song, but the idea of Joshua doing Marvin Gaye – YES, please someone make this happen!
definitely agree!
I'm all for Elise doing Winehouse. Your Colton picks are great. I'd like to hear Joshua do some Al Green – Let's Stay Together, for example. I'd love to hear Phil do DMB Don't Drink The Water, Roxanne by The Police (great suggestion!), or maybe some Fiona Apple (maybe Criminal). I like the Dixie Chicks idea for Skylar.
Oooh! I'd like to hear Hollie do Eva Cassidy's verison of Fields Of Gold.
Based on your list, I'd add Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol) to Colton's list and Foo Fighter's "Rope" to Phllip's.
Skyler or Elise – Melissa Etheridge' "Like the Way I Do".
Elise – Heart's version of "I've Got the Music in Me" – especially since the song needs redeeming after J-Lo ruined it in that commercial.
My wish list [and some are really far out and old]:
Colton – Please Come To Boston by Dave Loggins
Hollie – It's Magic by Doris Day
Joshua – Find 100 Ways by James Ingram
Deandre – Blue Hawaii by Elvis
P2 – Desperado by The Eagles
Skylar – The Dance by Garth
Heejun – And i love Her by The Beatles
Elise – I've Never Been To Me by Charlene
I know this list is bizarre but showcasing the voice is important to me and these would accomplish it.
Templar, you post an interesting list.
Prithee, why the Doris Day pick for Hollie?
It's obscure i know, but it's a gorgeous song, tender and melodic. My grandmother loved Doris Day, and Romance On The High Seas was one of her favorite films. I have her old VHS tape of that film and if you go to YouTube you can see Doris sing it in the movie. Hollie has the purity of tone and the delicate beauty to do it justice.
Wow, Elise rocked it out of the house to end the night with some Zeppelin!
Hah, they so seem to be wanting a redo of last season only this time treating the 'Haley' correctly (ever since their 180 on Elise after their initial getting on her the most thing at the very beginning). The Zeppelin is the final proof hah.
Not sure why JLo kept saying she just didn't want to stand up for Elise, she just so did not want to, but simply had to though, hah, a little odd, but whatever, she was forced to give her her props.
You don't think she was signalled to stand by Uncle Nigel?
Especially after the singer before her got one too and a few singers that did not do as well got one.
Not to say she did not deserve it … but, in general, the standing O is almost meaningless in the context of idol (especially since the audience seems to be on their feet after every song).
Colton hasn't missed a note? Has he hit any correctly?
good point, i coulda sworn he was well off pitch the big notes there but Randy said he never misses a note and has perfect pitch, he seemed on pitch in the part of the medley of three that I heard though and really good there
the annoying hype they give colton is really getting to me. It's obvious he represents a viewing demographic they want to desperately protect!
The guy is really working the social media thing hard! Dang, he tweeted me and I don't even like the guy! Guess that's what its going to take when you don't really have any talent to fall back on. Ouch! Did I say that?
Yeah, nearly all of them. Why?
I thought he was pretty off several times.
Man, that was a good show. It's very rare that I can't pick out the weakest link, and I honestly think it might come down to performance order. I guess I'd give Heejun the boot, but that was a good performance to go out on.
My only problem: five standing ovations, none of which were for Jessica?! I thought that performance was sublime!
This: "It's very rare that I can't pick out the weakest link, and I honestly think it might come down to performance order. I guess I'd give Heejun the boot, but that was a good performance to go out on."
Me too! I've always been good at picking who would go (and I did pick Shannon and Erika last few weeks but..) I was going over them during the show and due to popular vote with Heejun, I can't even think who goes…except maybe Joshua doesn't have as much following as others? I think it's getting close for an upset and the "save" is coming….cuz I think somethin' unexpected is gonna happen soon…
My guess would be DeAndre, then Heejun next week. Elise is picking up steam and it would be wierd if she went home after covering Zepplin that well.
It could be an upset – Jessica. This is the week Pia went home.
O M G Loving Idol this year. You may disagree…but this year has such real competition with no 1 or 2 clear front runners, that I feel even the Idol machine isn't as manipulative (though I won't let my guard down)…and judges are giving real feedback. I'm loving that too.
Best Idol (since Season 7, still my all time favorite, but that's besides the point right now!)…I can't even say who'll go home this week? Everyone was good (yes, even Heejun surprised me tonight , and may stay due to popular "following" votes.) But my personal, shoutin' from my couch favorites tonight by 10 miles…Phil Phillips & E-freakin'-lise Plant!
Phil….I have been loving him, (and I'm with Stevie he is aDorable)… I love the way he inhabits the music and tonight he was infectious and I just LOVED the song and his performance! And….loved the look and (non-gray) jacket. He's unique too. Elise…WHAT?!…I knew she'd probably be a good fit when I heard Zep choice…but she was over the top great…the way her voice sounded like it kind of "slid off the note" on (whole lotta) "lo-ove." And all the rest! And…she also had a great outfit and looked great!
But Skylar, Jessica both flawless. Hollie..still a great voice even if not perfection, at least "crossed the bridge" to connection and emotion tonight. Colton, didn't know the song, but good. Joshua, I didn't want him to "take it to church" again, and he did…and I liked it. Deandre, in his element…I don't personally love songs sang in all high register, but he does it sooo well. Finally.. Heejun…first time I heard some surprising vocal qualities, and he really sang…and I enjoyed it and his "unique" sound. And he does have some charisma, like it or not. Not sure it will go much farther than Idol Season 11, but who's to say…not that I think he should go much farther, given all the really great singer/performers this year.
May be the first Idol tour I go to since Season 7…we'll see. Honestly…I'm with Jennifer, for the most part, from here, with a couple exceptions…hard to see anyone go.
I meant "I" didn't know the song Colton sang…not that he didn't! (I read it back & sounded that way.)
oooh…..Elise would be AWESOME singing "Joey"!!!
and FYI to all the American Colton fans out there….Jacob Hoggard from Hedley did a very similar version of Lifehouse's "Everything" on Canadian Idol and it was even better than Colton's…you can watch it on youtube
Yes, Elise and Concrete Blonde would be a great match!
For DeAndre I would like to hear him do The Ventures Theme from Hawaii Five-O…Classic song great hook and no lyrics for DeAndre to "sing"*.
* No air quotes were "harmed" in the typing of this post.
I'd love to hear Phillip sing Kings of Leon's "Closer". That could be his moment.
Michael – as if I couldn't love you anymore! That Grace Potter song is amazing and it does have Philip Phillips written all over it!!!!
Im just dying to here Joshua Ledet to completely slay something..anything by Otis Redding! Id also love to hear "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)- David Ruffin cover or What Becomes of the Broke Hearted – Jimmy Ruffin.. I love this guys soul old school vibe and sound. Amazing vocals every week.
My Suggestions!
Philip: Nothing Compares 2 U – Sinéad O'Connor (He needs to do something softer and more emotional so he's not so samey-samey)
Colton: Confide In Me – Kylie Minogue (It would be really unexpected but I'd reckon he'd slay it… Check out the Hurts version for a reference)
Joshua: Crazy In Love – Anthony & the Johnsons (Originally by Beyonce)(It's a slowed down emotional version which is what he does best IMO)
DeAndre: The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face – Roberta Flack (Makes for a "moment" which he desperately needs and there's ample room for falsetto without going OTT)
Heejun: Don't Know Why – Norah Jones (He has that smooth buttery tone that this song would showcase)
Elise: Wade In The Water – Eva Cassidy (Elise's soulful jazzy voice would be magic on this song)
Skylar: Hiding My Heart – Adele (It'd bring out the blues in her voice and also is a great story which Skylar is excels at)
Jessica: You've Got The Love – Candi Staton (Uptempo but still has those long power notes that the judges have a collective orgasm over)
Hollie: Titanium – David Guetta ft. Sia (Puts her balladeering ways into a modern younger context)
No more Adele!!!! I love Adele but other than Elise, she has not been done well on the show. And too many have tried.
I think Phillip Phillips is highly overrated. He has appeared to me, from the very start of the season, to be nothing more than a poor man's version of Dave Matthews. And every song he 'sings' sounds almost exactly the same.
Song I want Phillip Phillips to Phillip Phillips……."When Doves Cry"
Wow great suggestions for Jessica … Sade, TTD, or En Vouge.. would love to her her do at … Jessica is interesting contestent, she doesnt make too many mistakes and is always stalking around the top (Gloria Estefan aside) … it will be interesting to see if she has that moment in a few weeks that cements her as a top 3 … Its tough because she the expectations are so high for her … you saw it last night … she was better than at least 3 of the standing o's, but didnt get one … its kind of like "you did what we expected" …
Memo to Holly …. Get some advise how a 16 year old should dress from Jessica … she usually kills it in the style department …
Jessica is, after all, Heejun's style idol.
Michael, your songs for Elise are dead on!! Lady Gaga – "Paparazzi" would be unbelievable. And I thought I was the only that remembered "Joey" by Concrete Blonde – an underrated, gorgeous song!
You are not the only one who remembers "Joey". I had to go re-listen to it on my Itunes library.
How cruel was that!!!.comment about deAndre singing Hawaii Five O….but it was priceless just the same……What about hearing Hejun give us a chinese version of the Japanese song Sukyaki….the only asian song I know….perhaps being of chinese descent he may not be allowed to sing a japanese song….but I reckon he would get to stay another week if he pulled it off even halfway reasonably..it would be the first week he wouldn't need to worry about his accent being a problem and it is such a beautiful song when sung properly…Four Pm and A Taste Of Honey had the only two english versions I know of but the original Ryu Sakamoto japanese version is just so good even though I dont understand a word of it….I'm surprised Michael that you never put it in for his list….
Michael… please get in touch with Skylar and explain to her how she needs to sing Jason Mraz – I Won't Give Up, It is a beautiful song and I think it would be even more powerful with her voice behind it.
Use your power for good… stop recommending Juice Newton.
Joshua Ledet NEEDS to do "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's, Man's World". Would make my life if he did that song.
I love the suggestions for Elise. I would love to hear Skyler sing Shelby Lynne's Temptation. I think it is perfect for her voice and her energy.
Joshua doing "Stranger in My House" would be amazing.
I want to see who's going through first. Tonight is a "shock boot" according to Seacrest.
Jessica: Chaka Khan 'Ain't Nobody' ( Do this one swaggy & girl will KILL!), Shannon ' Let The Music Play', Young MC ' Busta Move'
Deandre: Fine Young Cannibals 'She Drives Me Crazy' Pet Shop Boys ' Always On My Mind' El DeBarge 'Rhythm of The Night' (Eighties made for DB))
Joshua: Terence Trent d'Arby ' Wishing Well' MJ ' Man in the Mirror'
Elise: Bette Midler ' The Rose' Kim Carnes ' Bettie Davis Eyes'
Holly: Pointer Sisters 'Slow Hand' Irene Cara 'FlashDance'
Colton: Commodores 'Lady'
Philip: Neil Diamond ' Love on the Rocks' Guns n Roses ' Sweet Child O' Mine'
Skylar: Taylor Dayne ' Tell it to My Heart'

|This study investigates the impact of low concentration biodiesel blends on the regulated and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions from a modern passenger vehicle. The vehicle was Euro 4 compliant fitted with a direct injection common-rail diesel engine and a diesel oxidation catalyst. Emission and fuel consumption measurements were performed on a chassis dynamometer using constant volume sampling (CVS) technique, following the European regulations. All measurements were conducted over the type approval New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) and the real-traffic based Artemis driving cycles. Aiming to evaluate the fuel impact on emissions, a soy-based, a palm-based, and a rapeseed oil based biodiesel were blended with an ultra low sulphur diesel at proportions of 10, 20, and 30 % by volume. The experimental results revealed that emissions of PM, HC and CO decreased with biodiesel over most driving conditions. Some increases were observed over the NEDC which may be attributed to the cold-start effect and to certain fuel characteristics. NOx emissions were found higher with biodiesel especially during Artemis operation. CO2 emissions and fuel consumption followed similar patterns and increased with biodiesel. PAH emissions presented discordant results, leading to the hypothesis that the influence of biodiesel source material was particularly strong on the formation of these pollutants. Both increases and decreases were observed in PAH, nitrated PAH and oxygenated PAH compounds with the use of biodiesel blends. Overall, biodiesel at low blending ratios may adversely impact toxic emissions and ultimately alter urban air quality. © 2011 SAE International.

Manorville man gives children gift of fishing
Dale Ortmann is hooked on sharing his love of fishing with children in and around Armstrong County.
The 39-year-old Manorville resident started giving away fishing rods about a year ago. Last week, he gave away his 150th rod.
According to Ortmann and his wife, Shannon, 33, the endeavor was inspired by her grandfather, James H. Swarts of West Leechburg.
Before he passed away last year at 87, Swarts gave Ortmann more than two-dozen fishing poles. Those, combined with Ortmann's own collection, inspired him to give back.
"He told us to keep what you want, give away the rest," Shannon said. "And that's what we did."
The couple had spent plenty of time fishing with Swarts along the Allegheny River in Manorville.
"He was a great man," Ortmann said. "I had great respect for him. He kind of rubbed off on me."
He thinks that Swarts would appreciate his efforts.
"That's what I'm hoping," Ortmann said. "He was a charter member of the Allegheny Township Lions Club. He was always helping out, and I figured, where else should the fishing rods go, instead of sitting in my garage and doing nothing?"
Though Ortmann started with a cache of rods and reels from Swarts' and his own collection, by the time he gave all of those away, he had more.
Friends, neighbors and strangers started dropping off fishing rods and tackle on his front porch. And they still do.
A week ago, someone left 15 poles and three tackle boxes at the Ortmann house.
"We don't know where they came from, but we're grateful," Shannon said.
Ortmann takes fishing rods and reels in just about any shape. He estimates that a quarter of those he receives need repairs. He fixes them up from his front porch, which now doubles as a workshop.
Ortmann puts new fishing line on all the rods, greases them up with WD-40 and tests them out. That way, he's giving away a fishing rod that he knows is ready for action.
"You don't want them to catch a big fish and have the line snap because you have old string on," he said.
If there's a problem with a rod or reel that he can't identify, he takes to the Internet. Researching there, usually with Youtube, helps him to find out what to do.
Fixing the rods and reels usually comes easy to Ortmann, however. Trained as a draftsman, he often is able to see how the pieces should go together "like a puzzle."
For as much as he enjoys piecing donated rods back together, it's other, more personal connections, that resonate with Ortmann and his wife.
The couple, who have no children, take pride in showing children how to fish. That includes everything from how to tie a hook, reel in a fish or even how to stay safe on the river.
Ortmann not only gives the rods to children, he'll often give their parents a rod, too, so they can fish together. Many of the children in the area, he said, are disadvantaged, so they may not be able to afford a fishing pole.
"Some of my favorite childhood memories growing up are when I was fishing," Ortmann said. "It takes you places. It's always a change of scenery."
Ortmann would have never imagined his endeavor would catch on like it did.
"I had no clue," he said. "I thought I'd be giving away about 12, but after awhile, people just started dropping them off, and more people came to pick them up."
Theresa Peat, 45, of Ford Cliff shares Ortmann's love of fishing. And with his help, she's able to share that love with her own children.
Ortmann has given rods to Peat's children, Jozie, 12, twins, Tanner and Lane, 10, and James, 8.
"We have so many kids that come around, and they don't have fishing poles," she said.
She likes the fact that Ortmann is helping children, instilling in them knowledge of fishing and water safety before they are teens.
"That's very special to him," she said. "And the kids love him to death."

Tweetvisor is yet another interface for Twitter. I know, you're tired of hearing about new Twitter applications and you can't imagine how any more of them could benefit you, but Tweetvisor has grown on me. I primarily use Twitter via the web. I don't need the overhead of an Adobe Air application like Tweetdeck or Twhirl. Also, if I switch computers or I'm at a restricted location (ie. work) I can still access Twitter as usual.
What does it do?
Tweetvisor gives you an overview of your relevant Twitter activity at a glance. Simply visit the website, log-in with your Twitter credentials, and you're all set. Replies to you appear in the left sidebar. Your Direct Messages show up on the right.
Hot Topics
You will also see a section labeled "Your Hot Topic" in the right sidebar. This allows you to keep track of certain search terms like #journchat, #blck or whatever you choose. To set your Hot Topic, simply submit a search and then click "Make Topic Hot".
Tweetvisor also gives you the ability to sort the people you follow into groups. As you view your Friends Timeline, you can set up tags for them by clicking "Tag" under their avatar and providing a word or two to help sort them (comma-separated). Each tag represents a group and you'll notice a drop-down right above the Friends Timeline that allows you to select which tag or group you'd like to view.
Those of you familiar with Tweetdeck will recognize this grouping feature. Not only can you tag and group your friends on-the-fly, but you can also manage your groups by visiting the Groups tab.
Conversation Threading
As you browse your time line, you will be able to see Tweets which were posted in reply to other Tweets. This gives you the ability to follow the entire conversation. Simply click "Show Conversation", and you can see all of the updates in the discussion. This will allow you to follow an exchange that you may not even be involved in.
Multiple Twitter Profiles
Tweetvisor makes it easy to manage multiple Twitter accounts. Many of us have a personal brand as well as a business brand. It is imperative, especially as a business, to engage your community and be responsive. With Tweetvisor, this is much easier.
There is a lot of potential here. As far as Twitter web interfaces go, I think Tweetvisor is definitely worth a look. It's still in beta and the developers are very responsive to user feedback. There are a couple of features I'll need implemented before I could use it primarily (it doesn't auto-refresh the main timeline), but even as I wrote this post, @tweetvisor fixed a bug that I pointed out.
If you're looking for a different way to tweet, check it out. Tell me what you think.
Have you tried hootsuite.com

Good find! I think I'll use it as my twitter interface now – I esp. like the way it consolidates the conversations
I was a tweet deck fan, but I"ll give this a go. the interface looks much more user friendly.
