Clinical Social Work
Clinical social work is a specialty practice area of social work which focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness, emotional, and other behavioral disturbances. Individual, group and family therapy are common treatment modalities. Social workers who provide these services are required to be licensed or certified at the clinical level in their state of practice. Clinical social workers perform services in a variety of settings including private practice, hospitals, community mental health, primary care, and agencies. NASW advocates for clinical social workers through the legislative and regulatory process.

Former Levy County Commission Chair Nancy Westbury Bell once complained that I never noted in my stories which public officials attended or supported public events.
She said it was important to let the public know their representatives were representing them. I told her she had a point and started doing more than dutifully noting it in my notepad who was at gatherings.
I have felled a forest's worth of notebooks in my time at the Citizen and one thing I can say for sure, it is rare that the name of a city commissioner is noted for a public gathering. Once in a blue moon (and I think we have had two in the past year or so) I have spotted Frank Buie doing his public duty.
At times I have thought our staff is not attending the right gatherings for representing the residents of this city. But I have come to the conclusion that missing persons reports should be filed for the City of Chiefland's commissioners.
I have bemoaned on this page the lack of leadership from our city commission in grappling with the challenges facing the city. Now I must say I seldom find the occasion out in public to address that in a civil conversation with the commissioners.
I am sure they will say the public has adequate opportunity to speak with them while they go about their chores in the city. But that is not enough to ask of the people who asked for the honor of representing and leading this city.
They do a nice job of handing out certificates honoring folks, but only if those folks attend a city commission meeting.
The job of a public official is more than attending meetings and making decisions.
On Monday, a prominent businessman said it would be nice if the commission would support the Chiefland Centennial Celebration. Go figure. Why would they not support something honoring the city they pretend to serve? But they don't,
On Tuesday, the Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce bestowed the Citizen of the Year and Humanitarian of the Year honors. The city commissioners were absent.
For a bunch that says they are business friendly, they didn't show it by shirking the Chamber's annual Business of the Year banquet in September.
At one time City Commissioner Teresa Barron attended such gatherings in the company of her business partner Commissioner Westbury Bell. When her partner stopped attending events Barron did as well.
I could go on, the NAACP Banquet, the Levy County Schools Foundation STARS Gala, the Foundation's Beast Feast, the two Rotary Club's fundraising events.
Oh, but there are two events they do attend. Twice a year they ride a float in the Christmas Festival and Watermelon Festival parades. There they grace us with their waves and toss us candy.
Does this remind you of a French queen who lost her head?

Middle East Online, a web site published from Britain, carried a report containing extracts from an interview with Adnan Oktar conducted by the Iranian journalist Kourosh Zibari on 13 May, 2009. (You can read the full text of the interview here.)
Adnan Oktar was introduced as follows:
Inarguably, he [Harun Yahya] is the most influential non-political figure of his country and among the most significant scholars of the Islamic world.
ADNAN OKTAR: Darwinism faces two great predicaments, the fossil record and its inability to account for how the first living cell appeared. Darwin himself also knew that the fossil record repudiated his theory. He admits in his Origin of Species that the fossil record cannot be explained in terms of evolution…
Allah is He Who is unfettered by any flaw or deficiency, He Who stands in need of nothing. For that reason, Allah has no need of any cause, or instrument or intermediary or stages in order to create. The fact that everything in the world is dependent on natural causes and laws must not deceive anyone. Allah, as the Creator, is entirely unfettered by any of these. Some people who fail to properly appreciate Allah's sublime creative power and the artistry in His creation come up with extraordinary ideas such as "Islamic evolution." When these people, who maintain that human beings developed through evolution, are asked how the angels and the djinn were created, their answer will be "Allah created them from nothing." The way the Prophet Musa's (as) staff turned into a snake with a digestive system when he cast it on the ground cannot be explained in terms of evolution. Neither can the way a piece of clay in the shape of a bird turned into a living bird and flew away when the Prophet 'Isa (as) breathed on it be explained in terms of evolution. Nor can the resurrection on the Day of Judgment be explained in terms of evolution. The gardens of Paradise and the mansions in Heaven cannot be explained by evolution.

Crystal Palace technical coach David Kemp has said the club is still in the process of bringing in more names – in particular a striker.
Palace have so far secured the services of keeper Wayne Hennessey from Wolves on a three-and-a-half year deal, as well as making Jason Puncheon's loan move a permanent contract until 2018.
However, while Kemp would not be drawn on the club's other targets, rumours surround Joe Ledley, Lee Chung-Yong and now Leon Best.
Kemp said: "We're delighted with the deals we have done so far. We are trying for more, but we don't know if they will happen yet.
"Football on this day is a funny business and there is a lot going on, but it is the same for every club, we're no different.
"We're all trying to deal with this, that and the other, and maybe we'll bring in two or three more, maybe one, maybe none.
"Leon Best is a name that has been mentioned but he is not close. A striker is a target, but we have to wait and see."
He added: "But we also have to focus on the Arsenal game on Sunday, so to have all this going on until 11 o'clock tonight is all very strange."

NACGC Release
PHILADELPHIA--The Penn gymnastics program was honored with the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (NACGC/W) Scholastic All-American team award for achieving a 3.0 grade-point average or higher over the last academic year.
Additionally, five Penn gymnasts have been named NACGC/W Scholastic All-Americans for the 2011-12 season. To qualify for NACGC Scholastic All-American standing, an individual must post a 3.5 or higher grade-point average for the year. Laura DiPaolo, Rebecca Engberg, Carilyn Hayes, Kristen Hughes and Megan Milavec all represent Penn on the list of honorees. Out of the 471 women named to the list, Hayes was one of 60 to achieve a perfect 4.0 GPA.
Milavec, a first-team United States of America Gymnastics (USAG) All-America in the all-around and second-team All-ECAC on the uneven bars in 2011-12, and Hughes, a team captain, return to the squad for the 2012-13 season.
These awards add to the historic 2011-12 campaign for Penn gymnastics that also saw the Quakers win the Ivy classic and ECAC championships as well as place third at USAG Nationals.

Many homeowners think of their deck or patio as an outdoor living room, dining room, or even kitchen. Before you build a deck or patio, you should learn about the difference between the two.
Patios: Ground level surface that can be made of various materials such as concrete, pavers, stone and brick – limitless options.
Decks: Elevated structures attached to a home. They are commonly constructed of wood or composite materials.
"When planning a deck or patio first you want to get your budget in line, then see what your options are," said Angie Hicks, founder of Angie's List. "Figure out how much square footage you're looking to add and then price it out accordingly with each different type. Keeping in mind the price range can vary on installation, but you also need to consider what the lifelong maintenance is as well. For instance, a wood deck is less expensive than a composite deck to install initially, but requires more maintenance."
Angie's List Tips: Deck or Patio?
- Consider the landscape: Patios work best on flatter terrain because you need a minimal amount of structural engineering to put them in. That's not to say that you can't install a patio on a hilly yard; it's just that the cost of building retaining walls and paying to bring in fill dirt to level out the site can increase the project cost. However, you can extend decks out over a variety of terrain and provide your own flat surface, regardless of the topography. You'll also want to look at the way weather affects your property and determine whether roof drainage could create a problem on an attached deck or if the way snow and ice build-up could create a slippery hazard on a patio.
- Assess your needs: Before embarking on a deck or patio project, figure out what you'd like to get from the space. Ask questions like these:
- Do you want to use your outside space as a second dining room? If so, would you like a grill built in to the structure, which is much more achievable with a patio, or are you OK with using a portable grill that is fine on a deck?
- Do you have small children or pets that need to be contained in an outdoor structure? If so, a deck is your better choice.
- Are bugs like mosquitoes and wasps a concern? If you're going to screen in the space, decide whether you'd be more comfortable on a screened deck or patio.
- Is space an issue? In this case, an elevated deck could be a good idea because it would allow you to use the space underneath it for storage or other purposes.
- Thinking of getting a hot tub? A patio can usually hold more weight than a deck, so it might be a better option.
- What atmosphere are you trying to create? Decks end to form a division from the natural world, whereas patios can flow naturally into your yard. Spend some time imagining yourself living and using the space to get an idea about which would suit you better before beginning the project.
- Consider maintenance issues: Both decks and patios require varying degrees of maintenance depending on the building materials. Wooden decks require periodic sealing, staining and even replacement of railings and floor planks as they age, whereas certain patios may require weeding between paving stones, filling in cracks and sealing, as in the case of concrete slabs.
An incorrectly installed patio or deck can be an unsightly blight on your landscape. That's why it's critical to choose a reputable contractor.
Angie's List Tips: Hiring a contractor for your deck or patio
- Are you licensed, bonded and/or insured? Check with your state to see if contractors are required to have an active license to perform work. A company should carry liability insurance, and if it has employees, worker's compensation insurance. If not, you could be responsible for any damages.
- Evaluate the cost: Decks and patios can either be inexpensive or costly additions to your home, depending on your design tastes and the materials you use. Consider sketching out both projects and then asking a few contractors to quote on each job. A simple wooden deck without many embellishments will likely be cheaper than a slate patio with a built-in fireplace. But a simple concrete patio can prove a more economical choice than an elaborately designed deck with an attached gazebo.
- Read before you sign: It's important to read the contract and make sure you understand all the details before signing.

This past week some of us from the Mill headed out to Bend, Oregon to serve up some of our Steel Cut Oats at the 2010 Cyclo-cross National Championships. People from all around the country came out to both compete and cheer on their favorite riders as they raced through snow, mud and icy puddles. Over the 5 day scheduled races the course varied from icy and dangerous at the beginning of the event, to muddy and slow (and dangerous) for the final few elite races.
We couldn't be prouder of all our Bob's Red Mill riders as they battled the strong field of contenders in every race. But we were especially amazed by the tenacity and determination of Maureen Bruno Roy who made an amazing comeback from a brutal fall at the very beginning of the race.
After crashing onto her face during a massive pileup right off of the starting line, Mo was the very last rider to get up as the entire pack of racers passed over and around her. After the first lap she was in 98th place and 15 seconds behind the rider in front of her. But through pure determination and skill in the next few laps, she was able to pass 77 riders to finish in 21st place before heading off to the emergency room for stitches.
Of course, not only was it inspirational to watch the races in person, it was also great to have the chance to introduce many new fans to our delicious oatmeal at this last big event of the 2010 cyclocross season. Biking fans and riders alike enjoyed trying out our porridge as there is something about being outdoors in the wintery high desert weather all day that makes a hot bowl of Steel Cut Oats really taste extra delicious.

Walking Tour, Valentine's Concert and More Set for Merchant's House Museum, Feb 2013
The Merchant's House Museum is New York City's only family home preserved intact - inside and out - from the mid-19th century. Home to a prosperous merchant-class family for almost 100 years, it is complete with the family's original furnishings and personal possessions, offering a rare and intimate glimpse of domestic life from 1835-1865. The museum has just announced its February 2013 events. Details below!
Walking Tour: From Bowery to Bond, in the Footsteps of the Astors
Date: Sundays, starting February 3
Time: 1 p.m.
Location: Merchant's House Museum, 29 East Fourth Street (btwn Lafayette & Bowery)
Description: In 1835, when the Tredwell family purchased 29 East 4th Street, NoHo was an exclusive residential suburb called the Bond Street area. That same year, The Morning Herald proclaimed, "The elegance and beauty of this section cannot be surpassed in the country." Learn about the history of the Tredwells' neighborhood as it changed from a residential enclave for the wealthy to the cultural and intellectual center of the city in the mid-19th century, to the fashionable area it is again today. Landmark highlights include Colonnade Row, the Astor Library (now The Public Theater), and The Cooper Union. $15, $20 includes Museum Admission. Reservations not necessary.
Tour is approx. 50 minutes and begins promptly at 1pm. Promenaders will return to the Museum in time to take the 2pm Guided Tour if they wish.
Screening of The Heiress (1949)
Date: Tuesday, February 5
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Merchant's House Museum, 29 East Fourth Street (btwn Lafayette & Bowery)
Description: Based on Washington Square, Henry's James's classic novel of mid-19th century New York City, this haunting film tells the story of young love -- and a dominating father who didn't approve. Our screening will take place in the Museum's Greek revival double parlors, whose uncanny similarity to the film's sets is no accident. Because of the Museum's remarkably intact period architecture, the filmmakers conducted extensive research in the 1940s to design the sets. And the sets of the current Broadway revival of The Heiress are also based on the Merchant's House. Come see the film, then see the show before it closes (February 10). The film will be introduced by noted videographer Anthony Bellov. $20, $10 MHM members.
Reservations required; call 212-777-1089 or visit merchantshouse.org/calendar.
Love in the Parlors: A Valentine in Concert
Date: Thursday, February 14
Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Merchant's House Museum, 29 East Fourth Street (btwn Lafayette & Bowery)
Description: Lush, romantic vocal music of the world's great 19th-century composers performed in the Museum's Greek revival double parlors. Bond Street Euterpean Singing Society singers Anthony Bellov, Rosalind Gnatt, Jane Elizabeth Rady and Dayle Vander Sande perform music by Rossini, Schubert, Liszt, Brahms, Stephen Foster, Amy Beach, and more. Sweet. 75 minutes.
$30, $20 Students & Seniors, $15 MHM Members. Reservations required; call 212-777-1089 or visit merchantshouse.org/calendar.

From Bartleby and Encarta:
NOUN: Inflected forms: pl. ba·hu·vri·his
A compound word functioning as an adjective whose last element is in origin a noun. For example, in the phrase high-fiber diet, the compound high-fiber is a bahuvrihi modifying diet that ends in the noun fiber.
A compound word in which the first part describes the second or governs it grammatically, and the second element cannot be substituted for the whole, e.g. "yellowhammer" or "afternoon"
Mid-19th century. < Sanskrit bahuvrīhi "possessing much rice," a typical example of this class.

I think this is a wonderful word and I really hope that our good doctor falls for uncronopio's suggestion - not least as it would then be, unless memory fails, the only Sanskrit word to be awarded GWotD status. It would be fitting to have a word that, however indirectly, commemorates the outstanding work of Sanskrit grammarians like Pāņini....

33 Fresh Cuts for Spring
If crimson is your calling card, just one red lipstick won't do. Here, a cadre of cool girls share the secrets of their identity-defining looks—from the platinum dye-job maintenance kit to step-by-step nail art.
Platinum Strands
"I felt invisible until I went platinum," Marie Robinson says. Although Robinson tints the strands of A-list celebs at her namesake NYC salon, she struggled to find her perfect shade until she tried the near-white hue. "My own dark brown didn't give pop to my skin or eyes," she says. "Now I'm addicted to my color." NYC-based fashion stylist (and natural brunette) Kate Young has been fair-haired for 10 years—a look that was originally inspired by Madonna's "True Blue" era. "It's a part of my identity," Young says. "It brightens my whole face." To keep their drastically dyed hair from breaking, both avoid heat-styling, abiding by dry-and-go routines with weekly deep-conditioning masks. They also swear by the resolutely old-school Clairol Shimmer Lights shampoo, a purple-tinted formula that keeps cool, ashy tones vibrant.—J.J.O

Meet the PSC StudentsSee all students...
The Green Bank Telescope and the PSC
The Pulsar Search Collaboratory (PSC) is a joint project, between the Green Bank Observatory (GBO) and West Virginia University (WVU), funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The goal of the PSC is to give high school students experience doing real research. With this experience they gain the confidence they need to succeed in STEM majors in college!
In 2007, the Green Bank Telescope was in need of repairs. Specifically, it needed a new track. While this track was being replaced, the telescope was unable to move and could only point at a fixed position in the sky. During this time, two astronomers from WVU, Dr. Maura McLaughlin and Dr. Duncan Lorimer used the Green Bank Telescope to observe the sky as it drifted overhead. And as the sky drifted by, they took data. And more data. And more data. By the end, they had over 300 hours of observing time and acquired more than 30 terabytes of data! And they want to use this data to search for new pulsars.
Sue Ann Heatherly, the Education Officer at the Green Bank Telescope, designed this project to help students use the data to search for new pulsars. In addition to Duncan and Maura, students get lots of help from WVU grad students Fernando Cardoso, Pete Gentile, Joe Swiggum (Postdoc at UWM and former WVU grad student), and other experienced PSC members from around the US!
Happy Hunting!

A New App to Help You Keep Track of Your Lupus Care
A free new app, the Lupus Companion, was just released to help people with lupus keep track of their medications, appointments and symptoms. Developed by doctors and patients, the app includes a short questionnaire designed to be taken every three months to help monitor disease activity. The results can be shared with your doctor.
The Lupus Companion was developed as part of the Lupus Initiative, a program to educate healthcare professionals about diagnosing and treating lupus. The Lupus Research Institute's (LRI) National Patient Coalition effectively advocated for Congressional funding to make the Lupus Initiative possible.

The weather has well and truly turned here in Los Angeles. Sure, the sun is shining and the fronds on the sky-high palm trees still tickle the invisible ivories as the sea-breeze wisps past them. But it's cold for us, ok? Heck, all those hipsters on Melrose sporting the military boots, short shorts and flannel-fleece hats can't be wrong, can they?
In any case, I'm cold. I'm wearing my little fake-fur lined booties even as I speak, and I know it won't be long now before I have to shut my windows because the breezes cause me to shiver in my yoga pants (yes, you can roll your eyes at me now). But here's something you might be able to relate to: today, I couldn't get enough warm drinks. Another telltale sign that winter is on LA's doorstep.
By 2 o'clock, I'd already made my way through a cup of hot pour-over coffee (oh dear, I am a hopeless coffee snob) and two cups of green tea. As we sat down to a lunch of tiny pupusas at Tinga, I looked longingly at their coffee list, hoping for a decaffeinated version to warm up my internal organs without giving them such a jolt that I'd be unable to sleep tonight. A couple of hours later, I ran across the street to grab a hot cocoa from Sycamore Kitchen. A plain glass of water no longer appeals to me; rather, its potential to make my teeth to chatter causes me to give it a wide berth. I have a feeling I'm going to be very dehydrated this season!
For me, one of the tricky things about this time of year is trying to figure out how to have my cocktails and my warmth, too. The notion of a shot or two of my favourite spirits, spun around chunks of ice until the glass itself shivers and frosts up… well, it doesn't sound all that enticing. But what's a girl to do at the myriad winter gatherings ahead of her between now and the New Year? Sip on her hot green tea, the reluctant teetotaler? Heavens forbid.
Here are some ideas for cocktails that will warm up you and your guests in one way or another. You're welcome. Now take that flannel hat off. You look ridiculous.
Hot Toddy, with a "Nutritional" Twist
Ah, the old faithful, or as my Irish-blooded husband likes to call it, mother's milk. What could be better than some whiskey, lemon juice, honey and hot water? How about a small shot of apple cider vinegar? If you've been following the cocktail trends over the past couple of years, you'll have noticed vinegar, and its other code name "shrub", popping up on menus across the country. Those sugary-sweet cocktails we guzzled in our '20s? Those are for the birds. Enter vinegar to give that honey a little snap, a little depth. You can also add a little apple cider (the beautiful unfiltered kind is best) if you want to temper a.c.v's sassy sour bite. I like using unfiltered apple cider vinegar, too (Bragg's is a favourite in our house) because it apparently has some great digestive qualities.
Spicy Cocktails
There's more than one way to warm up your system. The alcohol will do her part (I always think of those old cartoons where the St. Bernard comes calmly to the rescue of an Alp-stranded wanderer, who reaches for the little barrel of heart-warming brandy around the aloof canine's neck!) but why not help her along with a few Scoville heat units? When I was in India, I had a delightful cocktail that, I imagine, began with the muddling of some green Serrano chiles, fresh mint, half a lime and some sugar. Add some white rum and bubbles for a winterized version of a mojito!
Try It:
Another way to add some heat to your cocktails? Grab some spicy bitters. You can find them at your neighbourhood fine spirits shop but you can also make some. My husband made a batch of what he calls Aztec chocolate bitters: cacao, chiles d'arbol, cinnamon and even a little coffee. It definitely punches up our Manhattans! Oh, and speaking of Manhattans…
Manhattan with a Flamed Orange Peel
This is more of a "show-off for your guests" trick, but if you're making Manhattans, Negronis or even a Boulevardier, finish it off with a little flaming orange peel. There's a whole host of videos online to show you how to do it. It's easy enough, adds a lovely burst of caramelized orange flavour to your cocktail and best of all, it makes your guests go "oooh!". Obviously, keep the kids and pets out of the room if you're going to do this, and as the night goes on (and your intoxication level rises), you may want to keep the matches at bay. But if you're looking to bring a little warmth to your cocktail party, this is a sure-"fire" (see what I did there?) way to jazz things up. Sorry, I can't help it. I've never met a pun I didn't like.
Try It:
Apple Cider/Mulled Wine
I love how my house smells when I make a big batch of warm spiced apple cider or mulled wine. This is an opportunity for you to pull out all those spices I've told you to buy all year: cinnamon, cloves (punctured into a small orange for easiest removal), green cardamom, star anise, all spice berries, nutmeg, black peppercorns, bay leaves. I still remember sipping small glasses of Glogg on a freezing night in Chicago at a cozy bar in Andersonville. Almonds that had been soaked in vodka floated in our glasses, the piece de resistance as the Lake Michigan winds did their worst outside. Deep, deep sigh.
Try It:
Hot Cocoa with Curry Powder & Marshmallows
And here's one of my favourites when it's just the mister and myself at home. We warm up some milk on the stove (at the moment, we're loving hazelnut milk), dissolve some unsweetened cocoa into it, then add whatever flavours we're into. A perennial favourite? A teaspoon or two of curry powder. Yup, it's one of the few times I reach for it, and I've got to tell you: chocolate and curry powder on a chilly night? Topped with some marshmallows (or if Bren's making it, some Fluff)? It's the kind of thing that will make you long for a night when the mercury sinks ever lower.
Happy supping! What do you like to drink when it's cold outside and you're feeling festive?

You have many options to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses that exceed the $3,000 Health Benefits Debit Card daily limit.
You have access to a plan comparison tool that helps you determine if a high-deductible health plan with an HSA is right for you.
HSA Bank offers a full suite of Consumer-Directed Healthcare (CDH) products, including Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA), and Commuter Benefits.
View All FAQs
The Member Website puts you in control and shows you the way to make informed, health finance decisions. You'll have secure, 24/7 access to:
Learn how to contribute to your accounts and use your funds to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses.
An HSA, or Health Savings Account, is a unique tax-advantaged account that can be used to pay for current or future healthcare expenses. When combined with a high-deductible health plan, it offers savings and tax advantages that a traditional health plan can't duplicate.
To achieve the greatest tax benefits with your HSA, contribute up to the IRS maximum amount in your account each year. View the current contribution limits. HSA contributions can be made by the employer, the employee, and third parties (e.g. spouse, parent) up to the IRS limit.
The HRA is the employer's way to offer a "self-funded" health benefit to you.
An HRA is an employer-funded plan, so only your employer can contribute money to your account. Unused HRA funds roll over from year-to-year, providing a potential incentive to be a better steward of your healthcare spending.
Participants set aside funds on a pre-tax basis each year into their Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and subsequently access those funds for qualifying healthcare expenses incurred within the Plan Year. There are a variety of FSA options such as Healthcare, Limited Purpose, and Dependent Care.
An FSA is a tax-advantaged financial account that can be set up through your employer's cafeteria plan. With an FSA, you elect to have your annual contribution (up to the limit set by the IRS) deducted from your paycheck each pay period, in equal installments throughout the year, until you reach the yearly maximum you specified. Your employer is also allowed to make contributions to your FSA, if desired, in order to offer a greater benefit to you.
You can access your FSA funds in the following ways:
Commuter Benefits, include Mass Transit and Parking Accounts, enable you to pay for certain workplace mass transit and parking expenses, up to the IRS limits, on a tax-free basis through payroll deductions. Commuter Benefits are not tied to a benefit year, so the funds will remain in your account until exhausted. Election changes are not limited by a plan year and can be updated or stopped as your needs change.
A Mass Transit Account enables you to set aside funds on a pre-tax basis to pay for eligible workplace mass transit expenses such as the price of tickets, vouchers, and passes to ride a subway, train, city bus, or vanpool.
IRC Section 132(f)(5)(c) defines qualified mass transit as transportation in a commuter highway vehicle (e.g., bus, train, subway, vanpool) if such transportation is in connection with travel between a residence and place of employment.
A Parking Account enables you to set aside funds on a tax-free basis to pay for eligible workspace parking expenses, parking costs at or near your primary work site as well as parking costs at the place to access transportation to work, such as a train station or vanpool stop.
IRC Section 132(f)(5)(c) defines qualified parking as parking provided to a participant on or near the business premises of the employer or on or near a location from which the participant commutes to work by transportation for which a transit pass is used, in a commuter vehicle or by carpool. Such terms shall not include any parking on or near property used by the participant for residential purposes.
You can use your Health Savings Account, Flexible Spending Account, and Health Reimbursement Arrangement to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse, or tax dependents. An IRS-qualified medical expense is defined as an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment, or medications. Funds used to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses are always tax-free.
*Please note that covered expenses for an HRA will vary depending on the options chosen by your employer.
What do all of our health accounts have in common? Money goes into and comes out of these accounts tax-free to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses. Consumer-directed healthcare (CDH) accounts allow employees to save money by contributing to their accounts on a pre-tax basis.
With an HSA, deposits, earnings, and distributions for IRS-qualified medical expenses are tax-free. An HSA also provides triple tax savings by reducing your Federal, State*, and FICA taxes.
For HRAs and FSAs, contributions and claim reimbursements are tax-free**.
Because your employer funds an HRA plan, any distributions are considered tax-deductible (to your employer). Reimbursement dollars received by you are generally tax free.**
An FSA allows you to designate a portion of your pre-tax earnings to pay for qualified expenses as established in your employer's cafeteria plan, most commonly used for medical expenses, but often for dependent care or other expenditures. Your employer is also allowed to make contributions to your FSA, if desired, in order to offer a greater benefit to you. Since the money deducted from your paycheck for the FSA is excluded from your taxable income you can save significantly on eligible expenses.**
*HSA contributions are taxed in AL, CA, and NJ.
**HSA Bank does not provide tax advice. Consult your tax professional for tax-related questions.

Scarecrow Sprinkler, Motion Activated Natural Animal Deterrent
I have been a gardener for several years. One of the biggest pest problems is deer. They eat the Spring flowers. They eat the Summer Hostas. They eat innumerable wildflowers.They are difficult to deter. This system will be able to manage them and provide a lot of laughs in the process. It is easy to move about your landscape. When the deer are gone...on to the rabbits.

It is the eggplant season and I for one have been embracing it shamelessly. Since my own eggplant in my garden is still growing, I've resorted to the beautiful produce of the farmers' markets to satisfy my cravings.
Eggplants love marinades and the mixture of garlic, chilli, rosemary and olive oil is certainly one that will convert even the toughest eggplant-hater into loving them. I'm sure you also know my love for lentils by now and they really go so well with eggplants - this dish had everything I could ask for!
Marinated eggplant and beluga lentils
(Recipe adapted from Burke's Backyard Magazine)
1 large eggplant, cut into 1-2 cm thick slices
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4-5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, extra
1 small clove of garlic, finely sliced
pinch of chilli flakes
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
200g beluga lentils (you can also use brown or French lentils)
2 green shallots, finely sliced
pinch of salt
freshly ground black pepper
1. Heat a grill pan on medium high and brush the eggplant slices with olive oil. Cook the eggplant in batches for a couple of minutes on each side, then lay the slices in a large dish.
2. Combine the marinade ingredients and pour over the eggplant slices. Turn the slices around to coat both sides, then leave to marinade for at least 30 minutes.
3. Cook the lentils until just tender. Drain and place in a large mixing bowl. Add finely sliced green shallots and season with salt and pepper.
4. Slice the marinated eggplants in thick slices and toss into the lentils. Serve the dish warm or room temperature.

HOUSTON - While Congress considers the fiscal cliff deal passed in the Senate early New Year's morning, one thing is certain: No matter how lawmakers vote, you will be taking home less pay in 2013 than you did last year.
While politicians wrangled with the deal, they let a payroll tax break expire.
In 2011, President Barack Obama extended a 2 percent payroll tax break to every working American. The idea was to give families more money to spend to help boost the economy.
In 2013, that tax break is over.
For someone making $50,000 a year, it will mean they'll take home about $1,000 less – about $80 per month.
Financial experts said it will cause consumers to spend less, and that will have a negative impact on the economy when consumer spending is already down. Those experts said now is a good time examine how much you are with holding for taxes from your paycheck and to rework your family's budget to account for your smaller paycheck.

Budget Graphics Strike Back: Revenge of the RAMby Derek Wilson on 5/19/2005 5:40 AM EST

kobymu - Saturday, May 21, 2005 - linkI was hoping for some information about how these card suffer/gain in performance when move from the AMD platform to INTEL's, considering the differences in memory subsystem.
1.Assuming that the graphic card will deploy some sort of DMA, in an Intel platform, it should have a shorter path (only needs to go through the northbridge) as opposed Amd (pci-e controller/chipset -> integrated memory controller on Amd cpu).
AtaStrumf - Friday, May 20, 2005 - linkYea I know, my spelling sucks. But hey, nobody is perfect :-) Reply
Rand - Friday, May 20, 2005 - linkReply
xsilver - Friday, May 20, 2005 - linksintax = syntax
sorry... I usually dont correct people on spelling but it was funny cause you were talking about language and spelt something wrong :P Reply
AtaStrumf - Friday, May 20, 2005 - linkOK, I guess technically, in this particular case you're right, that the order can be reverse of what is logical and still get the right message across, I just think it's more than a little bit confusing.
English language in general, not unlike programming language, is however extremely depedent on the order of words (sintax), because it's grammar is very simple, missing many, shall we say "features", of other languages like declension for example, that's why I think it's important to keep it right.
If you're interested you can read up on my language here:
Our grammar's complexity has to be second only to that of chinese'/arabic scribble, so most of us over her are inherently grammar experts :-)
OK, I'll stop bugging you now ;-) Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, May 20, 2005 - linkNow we just need to get Derek to run some tests with 2.5-3-3 RAM and a realistic CPU choise like a Celeron of Athlon 64 3000+. ;) Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkAs I said -- I cannot say decrease, as the percentage was calculated as an increase. Sorry I forgot to mention that I'm not going to recaculate my data and reenter it into the graphing engine in order to call it a decrease when all I need to do is change a couple words :-)
Besides, all of the percentage data in our processor and graphics articles is a percent increase. Why break tradition now :-)
Lexically, I could have swapped 2:2:2:8 and 3:4:4:12. Of course, as per English, it makes the same ammount of sense to do what I did. Technically, I don't believe there are any restrictions on the order of prepositional phrases. I will admit that saying "increase to fast from slow" could be tough to skim, but hopefully no one will think games run faster with crappier products. Reply
AtaStrumf - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkHe, he this is just hilarious Derek. I give you two perfectly fine options and you go and find a third, totally confusing one. "increase to 2228 from 34412" :stares in amazement: OK maybe my English isn't quite up to par with you guys, or maybe I have been reading a few too many biochemistry books, while not sleeping enough, but this just doesn't make any sense to me. I would recalculate for decrease and say "...decrease from 2228 to 34412", but that's just me. Reply
ReadyFireAim - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkThe 128MB onboard memory version on the X300 (256MB supported) is available @ Newegg for a mere $2 more than the 32MB onboard TurboCache that's recommended here.
"The 128MB onboard X300 HyperMemory part should perform significantly better than what we are seeing here"
Is it fair to assume that the 128MB X300 will be the beat these others; the $2 cost difference doesn't matter to me at this point. Reply
DerekWilson - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkI'm sorry about the graphs there -- I've changed them to say increase to 2228 from 34412.
Actually, it would have been improper to change increase to decrease, as the percentages would be smaller for percent decrease. (increase from 15 to 20 is 33%, but decrease from 20 to 15 is 25%).
Integrated graphics performance generally isn't as high as even these budget cards.
Also, 754 boards would be inappropriate for this test -- these cards are all PCI Express cards.
We did use the same system from our previous test -- the Athlon 64 FX-53 nForce 4. Reply
Calin - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkI pretty much prefer an integrated graphics to one of those cards - but there are some problems:
1. you can easily change the graphic card, much easier than changing the mainboard
2. I want a integrated graphics mainboard. There are almost no mainboards I can buy (or they are not available here)
3. To compare to the performance of a card with local memory plus system memory, the integrated card must have a local memory also (frame buffer or whatever) Reply
AtaStrumf - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkDamn it Calin, you already fixed the timings, so my copy/pasted statement is inconsistent with what's in the graph and what I was saying. I was referring to: Percent FPS **increase** from 2:2:2:8 to 3:4:4:12 line in the first graph on page 2 and the same thing is repeated in other graphs as well. You can either change the order of timings or "increase" to "decrease". Your pick, but I prefer decrease, because it's more logical that way. Reply
AtaStrumf - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkYea I mean really: Percent FPS increase from 3:4:4:12 to 2:2:2:8. And then the least increase get puts a card at the top? WTF?!?! You gotta be kidding right. I believe it should be decrease.
Anyway, who cares, if you get a card like this, you are not gonna be playing games much, and even then I'd like my RAM to stay intact. If I want to share my system RAM with a GPU, I'll get one integrated in a chipset, thank you very much.
Just one more marketing BS scheme. Reply
Houdani - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - link[quote]
"Upon examination, the graphs reveal counterintuitive data."
Heh, it's particularly counterintuitive since the page 2 graph titles are backwards! See #5, above. Reply
Tarumam - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkI think th ewhole concept of both turbocache and hypermemory is wrong. I mean if you have a system with a very cheap dedicated video card on it, that´s because two main reasons:
1- You don´t care much about 3d performance;
2- You don´t want the video subsystem wheighing on the ram memory.
Those reasons all but completely disaprove the use of a weak dedicated GPU that will use the main system memory.
Anyways, thanks for the article as it demonstrates that there are no such things as miracles. The bottom line is: If you´re going to build me a computer with the video subsystem in a dedicated video card, then (whatever the budget you have for it) keep it off my RAM. Reply
BornStar18 - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkI agree with #5. That's my only grievance so far. Reply
Calin - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkOn the second page, the graphics should read "Percent FPS increase from 3:4:4:12 to 2:2:2:8" - assuming the performance is better with fast memory.
What processors did you use in the test? At that time, for Pentium4 only dual channel solutions are easy to grab, however, Athlon64 single channel (Socket 754) is pretty common and a much more sensible choice for a budget computer. Reply
mostlyprudent - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkSorry if I missed this in this or the previous article, but how does the performance of the ATi 32MB Hypermemory card compare to the standard X300 with 128MB of onboard memory? Reply
Iftekharalam - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkLook at the Farcry 1.3 Performance benchmark. The system memory causes the frame rate to fluctuate up to 20%!
Iftekharalam - Thursday, May 19, 2005 - linkMy first post in anandtech becomes the 2nd post! Reply

NVIDIA SHIELD Price Cuts and Portalby Jarred Walton on 3/25/2014 6:53 PM EST

Anders CT - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkPrice drop to clear the remaining stock before the K1 version comes out? Reply
nathanddrews - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkProbably... or it's a reaction to Steam In-Home Streaming (which is fantastic BTW)... or it's just cheaper for them to make them, who knows. Reply
Flunk - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkThey could also be dumping stock because the product isn't doing well so they're giving up. Reply
michael2k - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkAdding features and updating the OS doesn't sound like giving up to me.
Dropping the price, as an example, is what Nintendo did on the 3DS as well as keep updating the software stack until it, you know, succeeded. Reply
Spunjji - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - linkAbsolute agreement. They may not be in the best market position, but if anything this is just showing their determination to change that. Dropping the price of something to make it acceptable to the market isn't giving up, it's accepting the reality of your situation. Reply
fteoath64 - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - linkIt would seem so as the Shield has been in the market for some time. But one would think a re-design might be in order to improve the console. Maybe slight cosmetic touch-ups and button improvements etc. The K1 chip would be a main attractor to this console if they can push it out by May/June time frame. Reply
michael2k - Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - linkIronically, they are the first I can think of that matches the AppleTV in concept. Stream from iPad or iPhone to AppleTV, either full screen, app, or game, controlled with a BT controller and keyboard, or even from a Mac controlled by a BT keyboard and mouse. Reply
Aikouka - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkThey ought to make a Shield set-top box so it is more like an AppleTV. Also, they really ought to fix the d-pad on the Shield. I'm pretty sure it's worse than the 360 controller, and that level of badness takes talent! Reply
Acarney - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkI would love a set top box that could talk wirelessly to the desktop (or hell, notebook) and then had a number of wireless input options; gamepad or keyboard+mouse. Then I could have a high performance PC in a different room then my big plasma HDTV but also get cutting edge geforce graphics powered games on the HDTV without any of the fan noise. Is nVidia's hardware compression engine fast enough for high quality 1080p h264 encoding at say 60fps? That would reduce the required wireless bandwidth for the video link at least and also allow the STB to need very light weight graphic processing power which would keep the power and heat down... Reply
Wolfpup - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkWow, $200 is amazing...the hardware still seems amazing, but...ugh, I still can't get past the fact it's running Android. Reply
JeffFlanagan - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkHow is $200 or this hardware amazing? Why would running Android be something to get past? Are you on drugs? Reply
darkich - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkI guess he would be happier with the Vita/3DS kind of OS.
Or maybe a windows 8 on that 5" screen Reply
jasonelmore - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - linkwell considering it has the fastest mobile gpu in a consumer device, beating iphone 5S Rouge gpu, despite being a year older, on top of a 5" 720p Touchscreen LCD, 16GB nand, superb build quality, 8 hour battery life, and great software (stream pc games, and game library (shield optimized games have increased 10 fold), Steam integration, etc.......its pretty damn impressive.
This thing runs emulators better than a tricked out desktop gaming machine. N64, PSP, Gameboys (all of em) Reply
fteoath64 - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - linkHeck, I would like to see Ubuntu Touch running on it if someone would port it. That would be a great attractor if there is a dual-boot option to do Android or Ubuntu Touch. Reply
skavi - Sunday, March 30, 2014 - linkWhat's wrong with Android? Reply
mkozakewich - Sunday, March 30, 2014 - linkAndroid isn't a very good OS. That usually doesn't matter on a system like this, though, so there's not much to complain about.
Anything that contains a keyboard (like convertible tablets) needs something better, though. Reply
Hrel - Thursday, March 27, 2014 - link"if I'm in my home, I'm usually happier sitting at a PC with a keyboard and mouse (though admittedly gaming on an HDTV is one potential use case that's still appealing)"
So, plug your computer into a HDTV??? My computer is on my TV always, wireless keyboard/mouse with an Xbox360 controller. I don't understand why people still use computer screens so much, I mean, don't you WANT to have the biggest screen possible?
As you said, don't people WANT to use their computer in the living room? With HDTV's there's no reason not to anymore. Reply
ThIrD-EyE - Friday, March 28, 2014 - linkLarger screens are not always better. In most cases I find a larger screen to be a hindrance when playing PC games because I have to move my head and eyes around a lot more to focus on objects or people in games. The closer you are to the screen the more strain you put on yourself than with a smaller screen. It's not as big an issue with console games because they are now built for large TVs. Reply
mkozakewich - Sunday, March 30, 2014 - linkThat's more a function of angular width (field of view?) than of size. Using a particular cross-section of the most comfortable visual cone in front of your eyes means that there should be no difference in eye or head movement as screens get further away and bigger; the only difference would be in the focus of your eyes, and at what distance they're the least strained. Reply
kpxgq - Monday, March 31, 2014 - linkI have a day one shield that I've been using alongside a vita, 3ds, and my gaming PC. I originally got it to stream PC games while in bed but honestly the screen is too small.. I can barely make out text and markers on a map wotht the 5" screen. I think the next version could easily fit a 5.7 or 6" screen by reducing bezel. I'm uusingmy shield mostly as an htpc actually as the tegra4 chip powers through pretty much every video file I have thrown at it. Its basically what the ouya should have been Reply

I am quite new to python, i just need a help to fix a script ( i have done work on ruby)
in ruby I can show full element of Array by putting like this,
- Code: Select all
print #{myarray}
I just wanted to do same concept by python, but its only show me last elements,
- Code: Select all
for key in DATA.keys():
_msg_line="%s %s %s - %s\n\n\n%s\n" \
%( color[key], hobbittime, status[key], status_info[key], DATA[key])
print _msg_line
but this only shows the last elements.
how can i show the full element of Array or list or .. without any loops ??
reason, I need to pass the content of that _msg_line to monitoring system like this..
- Code: Select all
command = "%s %s 'status %s.%s %s'" \
%( os.environ['BB'], os.environ['BBDISP'],os.environ['MACHINE'],_test,_msg_line)
Thanks for your kind help.

THE first British Chinese Heritage Project in the West Midlands has been launched with the help of a former Worcester Sixth Form College student.
WaiLo Li, aged 29, helped coordinate the 15 month-long legacy project in her spare time and it was created to capture the hidden histories of Birmingham's Chinese community.
It was officially launched at the Cube in Birmingham on Thursday, May 15 and the exhibition was opened to the public at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts on Saturday, May 17 and it will remain open until Sunday, June 8.
Ms Li said: "It's been an absolute privilege to be part of the project, both as a volunteer and as a participant. Some of the interviewees in their 80s and 90s have got absolutely fascinating tales to tell - of determination, grit and courage from their journeys of migration.
"It's been really inspirational and crucial to capture before it's too late."
She added: " The historical project looks at the lives of individual migrants and British Chinese through different life stories, as well as the development of the Chinese community in Birmingham - an integral part of the city's history over the last six decades."
Ms Li is also the founder of Project TOM, which is a voluntary, non-profit group that encourages more young people into charity work.
The heritage project was awarded a grant of £35,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund and it is spearheaded by the Chinese Community Centre Birmingham in Digbeth.

Germany, Saxony, Dresden, Citizens' Documents and Business Licenses (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records available at FamilySearch.org.
Access the records: Germany, Saxony, Dresden, Citizens' Documents and Business Licenses, 1820-1962 .
Title in the Language of the Records
Deutschland, Sachsen, Dresden, Bürger- und Gewerbeakten
Record Description
This collection of mixed records from the city archives of Dresden covers the inclusive years of about 1820 to 1962.
Most of the records are handwritten in narrative style and, in later years, in formatted forms. The record text is in German. This collection may include records such as:
- Wills and estates
- Land and tenancy records
- Court records
- Tax records
- Funeral sermons and sexton records
- Voting registers
- Council meeting protocols
- Hospital books
For an alphabetical list of records currently published in this collection, select the Browse link from the collection landing page.
Record Content
|This image needs a translation.You can help by adding an English translation of the image. (Instructions)
Records may contain the following information:
- Names of parents, children, witnesses
- Dates and places of events, ages
- Residence and religion of principals
- Occupation of principal person and maybe of other people listed depending on the record
- Legitimacy
How to Use the Record
To search the collection
⇒Select "Browse through images" on the initial collection page
⇒Select "Name range" which takes you to the images.
Look at the images one by one comparing the information with what you already know about your ancestors to determine which one is your ancestor. You may need to compare the information about more than one person to make this determination.
In order to find data in this collection, it will be necessary to know at least the name of the ancestor, the place of the event, and an approximate date.
Some records have indexes at the end of the volume. Frequently, these indexes are arranged by the given name of the individual and sometimes use the Latin form of the name. Those volumes without indexes need to be searched chronologically for the individuals sought. When you have located your ancestor's record, carefully evaluate each piece of information about other people listed in the record. These pieces of information may give you new biographical details that can lead you to other records about your ancestors. For example:
- Use the birth or baptism date and place to find the family in census records.
- Use the residence and names of the parents to locate civil and land records.
- The father's occupation can lead you to employment records, military records, or other types of records.
- The parents' places of origin can tell you former residences and can help to establish a migration pattern for the family.
- Marriage date and place may help find a couple's children.
- Burial place may also help you find a couple's migration pattern.
It is often helpful to extract the information on all children with the same parents. If the surname is unusual, you may want to compile baptism entries for every person of the same surname and sort them into families based on the names of the parents. Continue to search the baptism records to identify siblings, parents, and other relatives in the same or other generations who were born, married, and died in or near to the same place.

Listen brides — we know that getting married is a really stressful time and anyone who tells you otherwise can seriously suck it. The only magic a groom and his future bride feel is when one of them chugs 30 milliliters of NyQuil and knocks-the-fork-out.
Yeah, we know planning was fun for the first 10 minutes. And if movies like Bridesmaids and 27 Dresses have taught us anything, it's that being a bridesmaid ain't all it's cracked up to be either — they're the real troopers. Here are a few tips to keep your best buds happy despite your soon-to-be craziness.
Let them have a say in the dress selection
A pink, tight-ruffled mermaid dress will not flatter the 5'1 heavier frame. In fact, with a "one size fits all" approach to dress selection, you may be condemning your bffs to a day of torment. If you turn into a dictatorial army sergeant they may be resentful, especially if they're wearing something that'll make 'em feel like plastic-wrapped gnomes for the day. Have them try on dresses they feel good in and match colors accordingly.
Don't force them to pay stupid amounts of money
Remember, it's your day, not theirs. Forcing bridesmaids to pay a fortune — a fortune that would have been better spent on a nice pair of Louboutins — is selfish. You also have the bachelorette party where they'll pay in more ways than one (I don't care how sexually frustrated a lady might be, no one wants to see jiggling man bits that close to her face).
Make 'em a good meal
Thinking the world revolves around you means a ticket straight to Bridezillatown, population: you. Realize that while it is your day to look magnificent as you marry what's-his-name, you have many people to be grateful for. Invite them over for some quality time, away from all the planning, primping and mascara-smearing meltdowns. Food is always a great way to enjoy company, especially after everyone has been on a liquid diet in order to fit into your repulsive bridesmaid dresses.
Tune in to Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen's "Bridezillas" episode tonight at 10pm ET to see how to make classy canapes that celebrate the beauty of a wedding shower … the food.

Google Maps Updated to Version 8.2 With Voice Actions and Elevation for Bike Routesby Brandon Chester on 7/17/2014 9:27 PM EST

Notmyusualid - Friday, July 18, 2014 - linkGoogle Maps just keeps getting better, eh?
I recently noticed it was showing traffic density, like my Tomtom live services does, and routes accordingly. Of course after I just paid 47.50 GBP for another annual subscription of Tomtom Live (which I have throughly enjoyed to date).
But since it doesn't do speed cameras (even though I'm a very infrequent speeder), and the truely awful quality of the the phone speakers for hands-free calling, I'll likely be carrying my dedicated car GPS for some time to come.
Oh and Tomtom - it has not been lost on me, that I have to pay 95GBP for a map of the Middle East / Asia / etc, that Google will supply for free!
Gotta love competition... Reply
icetorch - Friday, July 18, 2014 - linkI agree. I started using Google Maps to see if it worked and I was surprised how accurate it was. Although when it was in beta it gave me wrong directions sometimes. It does use a lot of data if you use it everyday. Reply
ryanmt - Saturday, July 19, 2014 - linkThere might be another new feature. I just got a prompt asking me if I wanted to 'turn the screen brightness down between turns to save on battery'. Android L DP N5. Has anyone seen that before? Reply
AnnihilatorX - Sunday, July 20, 2014 - linkIt has that quite a white ago. You must have clicked do not asked me again on your old Google Maps installation. Reply
loony - Sunday, July 20, 2014 - linkMaybe google should worry about usability for a while, but instead they seem to follow the good old Microsoft example: If its still working, it doesn't have enough features yet.
It would help more to be able to show the scale not just when zooming in and out but all the time so you know how far something is and similar stuff... It used to work but Google enhanced maps until such basic features didn't work anymore... Reply
GruntboyX - Sunday, July 20, 2014 - linkIt would be nice if Google Maps brought back map caching. would make my nexus 7 a useful GPS and helpful when you are going to travel into areas without network coverage. Reply
Solandri - Monday, July 21, 2014 - linkIt still has map caching (for 30 days). They just buried it in a completely non-obvious place. You have to drop a pin marker on the map, select it, then one of the options (underneath save and share) is to save a local copy of the map. Once you tap that, it'll let you drag and resize the map. Reply
Cstefan - Monday, July 21, 2014 - linkBut still, whenever I search for something I know is right around the corner, it provides me with results 30 miles away. This happens is certain areas, not all the time.
Wings near me:
Some wings 30mi
Closest, some other wings, 2 mi(NOT EVEN ON THE SEARCH RESULTS)
Same search in a web browser works perfectly. It's repeatable on other devices and I have opened a bug report that was closed with no reply.
In short, I DGAF what you add when the base operation is a failure. Reply

Side Event: Ambassador Berger on "Harmful Traditional Practices"
(Remarks as prepared for delivery by Ambassador Berger at a side-event to the 57th session of the Committee on the Status of Women on "Harmful Traditional Practices: Violence Against Women & Girls; Laws vs. Practices: Rhetoric vs. Reality")
"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests,
On behalf of the German Mission, I would like to welcome you all to today's panel discussion on "Harmful Traditional Practices – Violence Against Women & Girls; Laws vs. Practices: Rhetoric vs. Reality" which has been jointly organized by Germany, The Inter-African Committee on Traditional Practices Affecting the Health of Women and Children (IAC-CIAF), Women Enabled, the Women's UN Report Network (WURN) and Forward Germany.
We are especially delighted that this event coincides with the International Women's Day and we hope that today's discussion will guide us in finding better ways to further enhance the full enjoyment of women's human rights all over the world.
I am honored to welcome today's panelists who will be presented in a minute by our moderator Dr. Tobe Levin from the W.E.B. (William Edward Burghard) Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard University and representative of Forward Germany.
Distinguished guests,
The Special Rapporteur on Torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment Juan Mendez has put it clearly: Harmful traditional practices such as Female Genital Mutilation, forced and child marriage or female infanticide (infant homicide) violate fundamental human rights of girls and women, including the right to non-discrimination, the right to protection from physical and mental violence, the right to the highest, attainable standard of health, and, in the most extreme cases, the right to life.
Mendez further states that Female Genital Mutilation/FGM as one of those traditional practices constitutes torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. His assessment is in line with international jurisprudence, including many of the UN treaty monitoring bodies, the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council, and the European Court of Human Rights.
Paradoxically, harmful practices are inflicted by families on daughters who they actually love and for whom they wish nothing but the best. FGM is only one of those traditional practices that violates basic human rights. Although many States have adopted legislation prohibiting FGM, the practice and social acceptance of FGM persist in many countries, and effective mechanisms to enforce prohibition are absent.
Ending harmful practices requires a comprehensive approach which includes action both in the public and private sphere.The most effective efforts against these harmful practices are grass-roots initiatives by local women working for change from within a culture. Germany is proud to be supporting numerous projects and initiatives that focus on the grass-roots level.
Figures are still alarming – per day, about 8000 girls face Female Genital Mutilation, and approximately one third of girls living in the developing world are married before the age of 18, to name just two particularly wide-spread harmful traditional practices – FGM and child marriage.
But there have also been remarkable achievements. At last year's side event on FGM during the CSW in the German House we learned about the positive example of Burkina Faso, where the number of women having undergone FGM has been reduced from 66 % in 1996 to 25 % in 2005.
Burkina Faso, supported by the African Union, also sponsored a resolution at the 3rd committee during the 67th session of the General Assembly to ban Female Genital Mutilation. The unanimous adoption of this resolution on the 20 December 2012is a milestone in the combat of FGM. In this resolution, the world speaks out with one voice against FGM. Now, the states have the obligation to implement this ban.
Our combined efforts are needed to take this message into every community where FGM is still practiced.
Legislation is not enough. New, innovative approaches are needed to achieve a change of mind and conduct regarding harmful traditional practices. Germanyis committed to continue our strong efforts in the fight for the equal enjoyment of human rights for all women and girls.
Our panelists today will give us insight into highly important innovative approaches, initiatives and ideas on how to change the life of millions of women and girls and I look forward to a fruitful discussion.
Thank you."

- Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act 2008. PL 110-351 provides kinship guardian payments, allows foster youth eligibility for Medicaid, permits states to extend Title IV-E assistance to 18+ youth remaining in foster care, and requires Title IV-E agencies 90 days prior to emancipation to develop a personalized transition plan - as directed by the youth. The legislation provides federal funding to reimburse states who choose to support youth beyond 18 who are in post secondary education, participate in a program leading to employment, are employed at least 80 hours per month, or are incapable of doing so for health reasons.

Today I smoked a 15 pound turkey on my 22.5 inch Weber Kettle. I set the grill up for classic indirect grilling. I have the one-touch platinum that comes with fuel baskets and they were used on each side. The problem I ran into was that after three hours of smoking the fuel baskets were completely full and could no longer accomodate new charcoal. I have been using gas grills for years, but I have only been using charcoal grills and a very small barrel smoker for less than a year.
My question: Did I simply start with too much charcoal? I started by filling my chimney starter and then once the coasl were ready, dividing them equally amoung both sides. And I followed the recommedndations of Steven by replenishing the coals and wood chips every hour. It's a good thinkg the turkey was done in 3 hours, otherwise I would have had to remove it, remove the grate, empty the baskets, and start again with a new chimney starter.
Any suggestions?

Maccabiah Games
JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - Rising senior Alyssa Baron helped USA women's basketball earn gold at the 2013 Maccabiah Games in Israel. Baron averaged double digits for Team USA and scored 16 points in the gold medal game on Monday against Israel.
Team USA swept through the round-robin competition with three wins in three games. In the opener, Baron's team-high 28 points led the Americans to a narrow victory over Israel, 75-69. Team USA then added wins over Canada, 66-41, and Austrailia, 86-38, to earn the top seed heading into tournament play.
In the semifinals,Baron was one of four players in double figures with 10 points as the Americans trounced Austrailia, 90-45. Then with the gold medal on the line, Team USA pulled away early and held off Israel, 72-56. Baron finished with an average of 14.6 points per game.

Delaware Bay / Cumberland County
return to statewide map
4/11/13 Update: As of April 15, 2013, all of New Jersey's shellfish beds that were once closed as a result of Superstorm Sandy will return to the classifications they had before Superstorm Sandy hit in October.
Partial Re-Opening Waters to Shellfish Harvest: Delaware Bay (11/11/2012 update)
Effective sunrise on November 12, 2012 all of the New Jersey state waters of the Delaware Bay are re-opened to their prior shellfish classification (see adjacent map). The Department has determined through monitoring of water quality and shellfish tissue that the Delaware Bay of New Jersey is now safe for the harvesting of shellfish in accordance with N.J.A.C. 7:12 et seq. To view the Administrative Order, click here.
Delaware Bay / Cumberland County Stations (11/9/12 update)
Cumberland County Stations (stations 39-47) include all of the Delaware Bay. Sample results indicate that bacteria levels have generally returned to normal. The NJDEP is sampling those stations again today (11/9/12) to ensure that the Nor'easter did not degrade water quality. In addition, tissue samples were taken today with assistance of the Delaware Bay Shellfish Council. If today's water sample results show levels within the criteria for those water's classification and if tissue analysis results meet the criteria in the National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP), then it is likely that the shellfish harvest will be re-opened effective sunrise November 12, 2012. Tissue is analyzed for both viruses and bacteria.

Lawyers generally dislike timekeeping. Naturally, nobody enjoys
measuring out the time of his life in small increments appearing on
the other side of a computer screen. At least you're getting paid.
And, at least there are ever-increasing ways to capture your time,
while you pass it. If you've got an established workflow, there's
likely a way for you to capture it in a highly efficient
Leaving aside paper and pen, as well as traditional software
applications not built exclusively for the purpose (like Word), there are four modern time capture
options, as follows:
Standalone Timekeepers. Strict timekeeping
programs will track your time, whether manually or automatically,
and create logs, which can be exported to popular accounting
programs, like Quickbooks. Most of these products utilize a
manual stopwatch, as it were, which you start and stop for
individual tasks. Some popular products in this line include: RTG Bills,
Tabs3, Bill4Time, TimeSolv Legal and TurboLaw Time and Billing.
Features of Comprehensive Products. A careful
reader of the prior section will note that certain of those listed
products will additionally offer accounting features (e.g. -- RTG
Bills), internal office management features (e.g. -- Bill4Time),
project management features (e.g. -- TimeSolv) or be affiliated to
broader practice management products (e.g. -- Tabs3 and PracticeMaster). It's tough to escape office
management features these days (don't I know it . . .); and, many
time capture softwares have been similarly invaded. But, it's clear
that many attorneys find their time capture protocol within the
larger purchase of a law practice management software system; and,
it does make sense to integrate various law practice management
functions, where you can -- though, having one system doesn't work
for everybody. I've written on the value of law practice management
software, here (with an update here).
Automatic Timekeepers. On the theory that most
of your work is done on a computerized device of some sort, there
are timekeepers that will monitor your computer use, and generate
logs, which can ultimately be converted to invoices. This
eliminates the problem of having to remember to manually start and
stop a timer; of course, some training is necessary to make these
programs hum, and to sufficiently automate the process. I've
written on the potential value of these sorts of products here. HoursTracking is a new entry in this field (and
one with an attractive pricing model) that I did not cover in my
original post.
Apps. There's an app for that, right? Sure is.
A significant number of the products mentioned/referenced above are
available as apps, or available via smartphones/across devices;
but, that's nothing like an exhaustive list. Neither is this;
but, for iPhone and Android users (the primary smartphone choices
for attorneys, with apologies to Blackberry, Palm and Zach Morris
phone users): iPhone JD's Jeff Richardson provides a comprehensive, if
somewhat antiquated, list of iPhone apps, here; and, Droid Lawyer
Taylor links to a similar LifeHacker list for Android apps, complete with his own
take on the best timekeeping app for that device. At both of these
blogs, reviews of individual timekeeping apps crop up from time to
time, as well.
Certainly, my categories do not represent buckets, since there
is much overlap in play, they're more like a Venn diagram; and, it is not inconceivable that
as many as three types of tools could be implicated in just one
product's offering. But, I think that speaks to the flexibility of
modern technology, which is, generally, a very good thing for
Whatever method you might think works for you, try it before you buy it, and get buy-in to it. Most
software products will offer a free trial of some length, usually
30 days.

If these are your means, you may find your motive in Heidi's excellent prior post covering time capture

SEC's Top 25 players: No. 22 Mike Evans
Published: Thursday, July 4, 2013 at 12:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 26, 2013 at 6:04 p.m.
Gatorsports.com counts down this season's standout players in the nation's toughest conference.
No. 22 Mike Evans
Position: Wide receiver
School: Texas A&M
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 218 pounds
Year: Sophomore
Why he's No. 22: As a redshirt freshman, Evans came out of nowhere last season to emerge as Johnny Football's go-to wide receiver. He caught 82 passes for 1,105 yards and five touchdowns and averaged 13.5 yards a reception. He's every cornerback's potential worst nightmare. His combination of size and blazing speed make him almost impossible to cover man-to-man. After what he accomplished last season, Evans appears primed to emerge as one of the nation's elite wide receivers in 2013.
