As you know, Microsoft generates a lot of talk in tech circles. You want to keep up on the latest news, but you don't want to have to sift through every article and post to find the information most useful to you. That's where I come in. As a person obsessed with Microsoft software licensing, I've hand-picked the best articles about the most relevant updates and product releases, from around the Web. Read on for information about Microsoft Server and Cloud Licensing, Windows 8.1 updates, and more.
Microsoft Dangles New Server and Cloud Pricing Offer for Enterprise Users
"Right on cue, on November 1, Microsoft introduced a new option to its Enterprise Agreement licensing plan that 'allows highly committed customers to standardize broadly on one or more key Server and Cloud technologies from Microsoft.'"

Microsoft Releases Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2
"Microsoft officials had promised a big release today, with Satya Nadella, Microsoft's cloud and enterprise executive vice president, describing the Oct. 18 release earlier this month as 'one of the biggest release waves I have witnessed inside of Microsoft.' The general availability milestone means that the products are available, although volume licensing price lists could arrive next month. Microsoft will increase the price of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition by 28 percent over last year's model."

Microsoft Windows 8.1 review
"Let's get this out of the way up front: Windows 8.1 is not going to change how you feel about Microsoft's current PC operating system. If you were looking for radical overhaul of 2012's Windows 8, or a retro throwback to Windows 7, this isn't it. Instead, this modest update for 2013 is a series of generally positive tweaks and updates to Microsoft's forward-thinking OS, and a clear attempt to change the tenor of the conversation about Windows 8."
October 17, 2013 8 Reasons to Upgrade to Windows 8.1
"The release this week of Windows 8.1 is a mea culpa of sorts for Microsoft. The version formerly code-named Windows Blue addresses many of the complaints lodged by those who tested it, including the CRN Test Center. And after spending a good deal of time with Windows 8.1 over the last 24 hours, our disdain for it has abated. New customization capabilities enable it to behave in ways that best suit not only user preferences and habits but also the input devices they choose. In other words, Windows 8.1 is actually pretty good, and here are eight reasons why."

Rainman - Monday, September 20, 2004 - linkI ordered from ewiz the Gainward 5700 for 90 dollars. I got it today and it seems it is a 5700LE. Their website left out the LE, although if you look closely the image on the website indicates it is an LE as well as the product item number.
I'm in the process of RMA'ing the card and I've had quite a few loops to jump through already. Reply

Aquila76 - Sunday, September 12, 2004 - link#3 - I had my GF2GTS up until last month when the fan died and the chip fried during NFS:Underground. I'd had it since it was released(1999?). I got an FX 5200 from NewEgg for $60 to replace it for now (my MB has no onboard video) and it runs everything pretty well. When I rebuild my PC in January, I'll probably pick up a major card. Reply
johnsonx - Sunday, September 12, 2004 - linkYep, there's zero point in spending more than $40 for a video card if the computer is not going to be used for gaming or other 3D graphics work. 7000-series and GF4MX-series cards do everything such a PC needs, and can even do light-duty gaming. Heck, I've got a GF2Ti in my computer that I mostly use for work, yet I've not yet run into a game I wasn't happy playing on it.
l3ored - Sunday, September 12, 2004 - linki clicked on the comments to post the exact same thing. why do you recomend $100 video cards for web browsing?? Reply
kmmatney - Sunday, September 12, 2004 - link"Gainward's GeForceFX 5700 128MB is currently going for under $100 and should suit the needs of a PC intended for web browsing, emailing, and office applications without trouble."
I'd say on-board video is suitable for that. If you want more, then you can get an ATI Radeon 7000 with TV out and DVI connector for $30. There is no reason to sepnd more, unless you game, or want VIVO.

DETROIT - It is called revenge plastic surgery: Men and women going under the knife in order to tighten tummies, lift eyes, remove wrinkles and more just to get back at their former partner.
"Dr. Youn, I want the works."
Carol, an attractive Caucasian woman in her mid-40s, sat across from me in the consultation room. Her eyes stared into mine, unwavering.
"What do you mean by 'the works?' " I asked.
"I want to enlarge my breasts, flatten my tummy, lift my neck and skinny my thighs. Oh, and I want my eyes to tilt like Megan Fox's, and I want you to plump my lips like Angelina Jolie's." She puckered and smacked her lips.
"Carol, that's a lot of plastic surgery. Are you sure you need all this? Why do you want to have so much done?"
She paused. Her face flushed a bright shade of crimson red.
"Because," she seethed, "My husband left me for a younger woman. And I want revenge."
Revenge plastic surgery is becoming more common. A 2011 survey by the Transform Plastic Surgery Group in the United Kingdom found that over a quarter (26%) of their patients were recently divorced women, while 11% were newly single men.
Even Hollywood is getting involved in revenge surgery. "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville recently revealed in her book, "Drinking and Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders," that she spent $12,000 to undergo rejuvenation of her private parts after breaking up with her husband Eddie Cibrian (who is now married to country singer LeAnn Rimes). She even paid for it with his credit card.
In my metro Detroit plastic surgery practice, I estimate that 20% of my new female patients have recently undergone a divorce.
These patients usually fit into one of three categories. The largest group is recent divorcees who are back "on the market" and want to enhance their appearance to be more attractive to the opposite sex. A smaller group of newly single patients have always wanted to have plastic surgery but their ex-spouses disallowed it. The divorce frees them to finally go under the knife.
And then there are patients such as Carol, who seek plastic surgery as a way to make their ex-spouses jealous. For them, plastic surgery is a way to gain the ex's attention. It's a "look-at-me-now!" mentality.
But recent divorcees may not be in the best mindset to make major medical decisions such as whether to have cosmetic surgery. In fact, according to the Holmes and Rahe stress scale, divorce ranks as one of the most stressful events that can occur during one's life, second only to the death of a spouse.
So when I see newly divorced patients in my office, I encourage them to hold off on plastic surgery until they're in a good mental state.
That didn't stop Carol, though. One year later, she came back to see me.
She arrived at my office dressed conservatively. Her hair was unstyled and she wore no makeup, although her neckline was sharp and her lips were decidedly plump. The corners of her eyes were slanted upwards, like a cat, and her eyebrows were overly arched, resembling Mr. Spock. A disproportionately large bosom jutted out from her chest, causing the front of her shirt to hang over her flat tummy.
We sat down across from each other in the consultation room.
"Hi Carol. You look a little different."
"Well, because you wouldn't operate on me, Dr. Youn, I went to a different doctor. He performed a face lift, brow lift, lip plumping, eyelid tilting, breast augmentation, tummy tuck and liposuction," she said, a serious look on her face.
"Wow, that's a lot of surgery."
"Yeah, I know. But my husband and I are back together ,and we've even renewed our vows."
"That's great! So what can I do for you?"
"The thing is, though, now that we're back together, I figured out what I really want."
"And that is?"
"To look like my old self again."

Harang works out kinks, optimistic for future
PITTSBURGH -- Veteran right-hander Aaron Harang has pieced together back-to-back solid outings, giving the Mariners hope that he will add more pitching depth to their starting rotation.
Harang had been tagged for 16 earned runs over 12 2/3 innings in three April starts before sitting down for a video session with pitching coach Carl Willis. They discovered a kink in Harang's windup that caused his pitches to flatten out and stay high in the strike zone.
Armed with that adjustment, Harang tossed six strong innings for the Mariners in a 4-1 loss to the Pirates on Tuesday night. The right-hander gave up two runs on five hits and took the loss, falling to 1-4 on the season.
"I think with the three weeks off at the beginning of the season and just trying to keep myself in a rhythm, I was working more out of the stretch than anything," Harang said. "I think once I got back into a normal routine, I was kind of thrown off a little bit. We've done our work trying to figure things out, and obviously the last two starts have shown that's where I need to be at.
"I felt like I was really getting a good rhythm and good tempo with everything, and I was able to throw pitches where I wanted to and I was keeping the ball down in the zone."
Mariners manager Eric Wedge was encouraged by Harang's last outing.
"Those last three innings in particular -- that was as good as we've seen him," Wedge said.

This Pot de Creme is like a turbo-charged version of butterscotch pudding. The texture is like silk and the taste is sweet, with just a slight bitter edge from the burnt sugar in the butterscotch. Cooking the butter and brown sugar together until it is smoking hot is the key to the flavor. If you don't bring them to the brink of burning, the pudding will be way too sweet for my taste. The creme fraiche (young sour cream) is unsweetened and the perfect balance for the pudding.
Butterscotch Pot de Creme Recipe
Makes: 8 servings
Prep Time: 40 minutes
Bake Time: 25 to 40 minutes
Level: Easy, with several steps
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar, well packed
4 cups heavy cream
1 vanilla bean, scraped
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 large egg yolks
Creme fraiche for serving
To make the butterscotch:
In a medium-size, heavy-bottomed sauce pot, cook the butter and brown sugar together over medium heat.
Stir with a wooden spoon or carefully whisk (be sure to use the right kind of whisk, an egg whisk, or the sugar will get caught in the wires). The sugar and butter will separate at first, but as the sugar melts it will become easier to blend them together.
Cook and stir until the sugar melts and the butter/sugar mixture just starts to brown; it will start to smoke slightly, as well. This may take 15 to 20 minutes.
Slowly add the cream, a cup at a time.
It will sputter and seize up as you add the cold cream. Cook the butterscotch until the seized sugar dissolves again. Add the rest of the cream, vanilla bean and salt.
To make the custard:
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly add some of the hot butterscotch cream to the yolks as you whisk them. Just add enough to warm the yolks slightly.
Once the yolks are warm to the touch, pour the yolks back into the pot of hot butterscotch cream and gently whisk.
Strain the mixture.
To bake the custard:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Divide the custard into the eight 4-ounce ramekins. Place them in a water bath and loosely tent with foil. (It is important that the water in the pan is hot and comes halfway up the side of the ramekins, so that it will reach oven temperature quickly. Using cool water will prevent them from baking evenly.)
Bake for 25 to 40 minutes. This will depend on the temperature of the mixture when you put it in the oven. It's best to check them after 25 minutes and gauge how much longer they need. Uncover them, jiggle the pan gently and check to see if they are set. They will move like set gelatin when they are done. Be careful not to over bake them or they will be grainy.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the custards to cool in the water bath. Once they have reached room temperature, you can remove them from the bath, cover them and refrigerate for at least an hour, but they can be made a few days in advance.
To serve:
Spread a thin layer of unsweetened creme fraiche over the top of the custard.
I like the contrast of the unsweetened creme fraiche and the sweet pudding, but you can add a touch of sugar if it is too stark for your taste, or serve it with nothing at all.

Topic: Searching for Dr. in Greece
Hi my name is Stamatina and I feel very blessed to have stumbled upon this discussion board. My father was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma 3 days ago in Athens, Greece. He is in his 80s and even though my brother and I live in the States (North Carolina and Las Vegas) he is very much against coming here for treatment. Does anyone know of any doctors that specialize in cholangiocarcinoma in Athens, Greece?
Thank you and sending all of you positive thoughts and energy from Las Vegas!

Why Am I So Tired? The Many Causes of Fatigue

What is fatigue?
One of the most common complaints that I hear when taking a history from a patient of a current illness is that the patient says, almost as an afterthought "... and I don't know why I am so tired." In most instances, this complaint is not the main reason that the patient is seeing me. In some instances, "being tired" is mentioned to physicians during a routine checkup after the patient said they have no current health concerns. So, should I as a physician treat the comment like an afterthought and concentrate on the "real reason" the patient is being seen? I could focus on the "real reason" for the visit, but if I skip asking questions about "being tired," I may miss finding out information or clues about the patient's illness and completely overlook a potential diagnosis and treatment for the patient.
Therefore, the first thing to understand about "tired" is what the patient means by the word. Does the patient mean they feel sleepy or fatigued -- they are not the same. Fatigued (tired) describes a lack of energy and motivation, not feeling sleepy (although both can occur together). If the answer is fatigue, the next step is to determine if the fatigue is mental, physical, or both. Now we are beginning to narrow down some clues to the cause of the fatigue, but we (the patient and the doctor) still have a long way to go together.
What causes fatigue?
Fatigue is mainly a symptom and not a disease in itself. The key is for the doctor, with the patient's help, to discover the underlying cause of fatigue. The patient's input is important because accurate answers to the doctor's questions may lead the doctor toward a diagnosis or, at least, may suggest what medical tests may help provide a diagnosis. For example:
However, there are reasons that are "normal" for a person to be tired. Normal people who have intense physical or mental challenges can become fatigued. If the intense activity is halted (for example, "Whew! The exam is over"... or... "I had to really run to catch Fluffy after her leash broke"), the fatigue gradually dissipates over hours or a day. When patients describe longer-lasting fatigue or fatigue with otherwise normal activity, then it may be telling the patient and their doctor there is an underlying cause of their tiredness.

I gave birth two years ago. Since then, my flow became irregular. It is heavy and painful most of the time unlike before. I am having back pain and headache at the same time and it is really stressful every time I have my period.
I gave birth two years ago. Since then, my flow became irregular. It is heavy and painful most of the time unlike before. I am having back pain and headache at the same time and it is really stressful every time I have my period.
Hello rballermo1008,
Please post the last 3 or 4 dates that your period started. This will help me see if your cycles are regular or irregular. How many days during each cycle are you bleeding? Also, please explain what your bleeding is like. Is it brown then goes to red, or does it start out red? Is it dark red, bright red, pink, etc.? Are there any clots or "strands" of blood that you can see on your pad?
Also, please share all symptoms you have when you are having your period. Is it just back pain and a headache or do you have other PMS symptoms?
I have lots of suggestions for things you can do at home so that your period is not painful and so that your cycles become more regular.
Warm Regards,
Hi Kate,
I started my cycle on the 20th and I still have until now. It usually takes 5-6 days after giving birth. I consumes 4-5 pad a day. It starts with a brown discharge then bloody red with stands on the 3rd day and that is the most painful part. I cannot stand and the backpain is really bad. I used to spend my third to fifth day on bed taking ferrous supplement as prescribed.
I never experienced PMS before I got pregnant. Now, each time I have my period, I have a lot of painful abdominal cramping, I cannot move, my head feels bad and I have nausea. Am I the only person experiencing this? I can't imagine this should be "normal". Is there anything I can do about it? I need advice
Hi rballermo1008,
Without knowing the first day of each of your cycles for the past 3 or 4 months, I can't tell if you're having regular cycles or not (around 28-30 days between bleeds). But there are a few things I can tell.
You mentioned that your periods start with brown discharge (which is brown blood) and then go into red. The brown discharge is old blood which tells us that your uterus is not completely emptying each month.
Periods should not be painful, and when there is pain associated with periods it is a sign of hormonal imbalance as is the brown discharge at the beginning of your cycle.
When you get pregnant, hormones change dramatically. Your body will produce much larger amounts of progesterone during pregnancy than when you're not pregnant. My guess is that after pregnancy, your hormones did not go back into balance.
Some of the simplest things you can do to balance your hormones are to make sure you are eating a fertility friendly diet. This means cutting out all sugar (except for the occasional treat, maybe once or twice a month), and cutting out all refined foods like white flour, fast food, deep fried foods and anything packaged. If it comes in a box, a package or a can, it likely has a shelf life longer than a week, and most things with a shelf life longer than a week have been stripped of much of their nutrients.
You'll want to focus on fresh produce including lots of leafy green vegetables. High quality animal protein and high quality essential fatty acids can also help to balance hormones. I would suggest taking 1 Tablespoon of organic Olive Oil 30 minutes before dinner every day, and also taking Cod Liver Oil according to the directions on the bottle.
Drinking fresh lemon water made from purified water with 1/2 of a lemon squeezed into it will help with digestion and also aids in cleansing the body.
One thing that is extra helpful is drinking freshly pressed juices. Fresh juices have amino acids and other nutrients that bottled juices don't have. Try to get 2 to 3 heads of green leafy vegetables into your body every day. The easiest way to do this is to juice the greens. One of my favorite drinks is 2 apples with some kale (kale is super high in nutrients).
To give you an example of how powerful juicing is... I'm 49 years old and I haven't had a period since February. I started doing a lot more juicing and drinking of green smoothies (getting lots more greens into my diet) in the past 4 to 6 weeks, and my period started again a few days ago.
Hormones balanced again, and my body was happy with that, so my period started again. If I continue on with the juicing and smoothies I'm guessing I may even have another period next month... and I thought I was going into menopause.
Green smoothies can be one of the easiest ways to get more produce into your diet because most people have a blender, but most people do not have a juicer.
Here's a video showing you how to make a green smoothie. You can add flax oil to your smoothie, or coconut oil or even olive oil and herbs too. I like banana, pineapple and orange juice with kale or spinach in my smoothies - that's my favorite, but I also like a lot of other kinds too.
I would highly recommend that you find an acupuncturist in your area that is knowledgeable in prescribing chinese herbs. Chinese herbs can help balance hormones and they are very effective.
If you can let me know about the length of your cycles (how long each cycle lasts) then I can give you some ideas on how to make them more regular, if you're having irregular cycles.
Warm Regards,
Hi Kate,
I am glad I raised the question.
I will try your suggestions and chabge my meals.
Thank you.
Please let me know if there is any change in your condition during your next period.
Warm Regards,

A chapter from Using ActionScript has been put on the Developer Center.
Oh, and it isn't just any chapter (suuuuuuuuure dehaan, you say). It's the Best Practices chapter, that includes coding conventions and the like. I'll quote what it says on Dev Center (well, I did write it initially… so I suppose it's acceptable to plagiarize myself).
Best practices are particularly useful when you share FLA files with other Flash developers, or you want to create consistent and readable ActionScript. Adopting best practices can help you increase productivity and improve your workflow whether you're working solo or on a team. The "Using Best Practices" chapter covers recommended practices and naming conventions in Flash development, as well as best practices for writing ActionScript 2.0.
There are many other best practices that you might adopt when developing projects and writing ActionScript, and the Macromedia documentation team would love to hear about them. One way to submit feedback is by using the LiveDocs system. You can browse to the beginning of the "Using Best Practices" chapter here:
Alternatively, you can find a page of this chapter in the Flash Help panel and click the View Comments on LiveDocs link at the bottom of the page. This opens a browser window where you can submit your own "best practice" recommendations into the LiveDocs system.
Sure, this stuff is already in the docs. Why put it up on the Dev Center?! Truth be told, many people didn't know it was there. Many people were still sayin' "Flash documentation people, Macromedia, why aren't there best practices/code conventions in the docs? You're missing something important!!" — well… it was already in the docs! But no one found it. So here it is up on the dev center, so perhaps people will find it.
But it's hard to agree on best practices. Trust me, I know – there were many conflicting opinions that were no fun to deal with when compiling practices. And yes, best practicing Behaviors is no easy task. So let us know what you think or what to add. This is one behemoth document already (partly why some areas might not feel as fleshed out as they could be, and why other topics might not be in there– yet), but your feedback will help form future documents. So – let's hear it.
Thanks and merry Thanksgiving!

Periodontal Disease Treatment
SUMMARY: If your dentist has diagnosed you with periodontal disease, you have a number of things to be concerned about, including halitosis.
Posted: March 19, 2012
Having periodontal disease can be a real pain - literally, in fact. Not only does this serious oral health condition cause rampant bad breath, but it may also lead to toothaches and deep, abiding gum pain. This is mainly due to the disease's severity, which is usually quite a bit worse than gingivitis.
Also known as periodontitis, periodontal disease is a more advanced form of gum disease. In fact, in its early stages, this condition is almost indistinguishable from gingivitis. Only later on does it become much, much worse.
This oral health problem arises because of bacteria. Periodontitis starts with what most of us already have in our mouths - namely, a little plaque on our teeth. This dense yellow stuff accumulates after meals. If you don't brush it away and use a specialty breath freshening, alcohol-free mouthrinse afterward, it can quickly harden into tartar.
Over time, tartar begins to extend below the gum line. The microbes that live in it start to infest your gums, resulting in the redness and swelling called gingivitis. However, this is only the first step on the road to periodontal disease.
Without a proper brushing and flossing regimen, tartar and plaque push farther and farther beneath your gums. After a while, your teeth begin to decay. Your gums get raw and inflamed. This constitutes periodontitis.
In extreme cases, periodontal disease causes the gums to pull away from the teeth. Bacterial infection pierces the bone bed, and tooth loss eventually results. This condition has also been linked to other serious health problems, like cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Rather than letting bacteria and bad breath get the best of you, knock them out now with specialty products and a solid, twice-daily brushing regimen.

Reedley Hallows, Filly Close and New Laund Booth , Lancashire Genealogy
England Lancashire Lancashire Parishes
Chapelry History
Reedley Hallows, Filly Close and New Laund Booth is an extra-parochial place. Search surrounding parishes for records and information.
BOOTH, OLD LAUND, a township, in the chapelry of Newchurch-in-Pendle, parish of Whalley, union of Burnley, Higher division of the hundred of Blackburn, N. division of the county of Lancaster, 3 miles (N.) from Burnley; containing 481 inhabitants. It lies on the north-east side of Pendle forest, and consists of 246 acres, with scattered houses amidst tolerably wooded pastures. Old Laund Hall is a very ancient stronglybuilt fabric; it was some time since purchased by Mr. Greenwood, of Palace House, from the lords of Clitheroe. A church dedicated to St. Anne was built at Fence, in Old Laund, in 1837, and endowed by the late Mrs. Holden, of Palace House: the living is a perpetual curacy, in the patronage of the Holden family. There is a national school.
From: A Topographical Dictionary of England by Samuel Lewis (1848), pp. 302-305. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=50812 Date accessed: 20 July 2010.
Fence lies in the civil parish of Old Laund Booth, which was in the Hundred of Blackburn. Up until Late medieval times it lay in the Forest of Pendle, i.e. in the hunting preserve of the King. The name of the village is derived from the fact that an enclosure was erected in the area within which the King's deer were kept. This became known as the "Fence" and the community that built up around it over time took the name. In 1507 Henry VII "surrendered [the parcel called the Fence] to the use of the tenants of Higham, West Close and Goldshaw Booth, to be held by them and their heirs for ever". First mention of Fence is in a document of 1402 as 'Fens in Penhill'.
Being near Pendle Hill, Fence has a long shared history with other Pendleside villages and the Pendle Witches.

Well, the Mets are reporting to Port St. Lucie in droves, and Terry Collins has begun to meet the media. Lots to discuss, but I wanted to focus on one particular comment by Collins yesterday: that his backup first baseman is Justin Turner, not Daniel Murphy.
This makes no sense at first glance, as pointed out by Patrick Flood on Twitter. After all, if Murphy and Turner are on the field, why would Turner, who doesn't play first base, get the nod there while Murphy, who has been a gifted defender at the position, remains at second?
The answer, to my mind, is a simple one: the Mets have finally decided to see what they have in Murphy at second base.
We've been down this road before. Murphy's career OPS+ of 111 is elite for second base. At first base, it is below average. In other words, we don't know if Murphy can handle second base on a regular basis- but it is the only position he profiles as a big league regular for the Mets. (Well, he'd be good at third base, too, but for now that is occupied.)
This is why it has behooved the Mets to find out what Murphy can do at second base for years- a case I've been making, again and again. (And again.) It even appears they were prepared to do it last year, once Brad Emaus was dispatched back down the Rule V rabbit hole. Then Ike Davis got injured, and Murphy was the best alternative.
But the 2012 Mets, though both Murphy and Lucas Duda would be better options at the position short-term, have longer-term fish to fry. They need to know, yesterday, if Murphy can be their regular second baseman. And they need to know if Duda can play the outfield just well enough to justify his potent bat.
So without the means to bring in a legitimate backup first baseman- something the roster suffers from pretty much everywhere is a lack of a Plan B- Turner is the backup at first base. This isn't great news, should the Mets need to use Turner this way- his bat doesn't profile well at second base, let alone first base. But with an eye on the future, declarations like this go a long way toward reassuring me that the Mets are finally going to see what Daniel Murphy, Second Baseman is all about. It's long overdue.

Welcome to Liverpool Public Library
1992 Library HistoryPrograms throughout the year included poetry workshops, Sunday afternoon Arts Alive concerts, Friday night mystery movies, Storytime Science for children, a children's reading club, the Armchair Traveler, storytimes for toddlers and preschool children, and Mystery Readers Anonymous discussion group ( led by Director Fay Golden in her office on Sunday afternoons).
Joyce Mills joined the staff on February 24th as a video production assistant to Rick Fensterer.
Since the previous year's budget had been defeated two to one, the Board opted to present the budget on a day separate from that of the school district's budget. On April 8 the Board of Trustees presented a "tight" $2, 270, 500 operating budget to the voters with no tax increase. It passed 572-228.
In June LPL participated in the first statewide Summer Reading Program. The end of the month marked the retirement of Head of Circulation Services, Dolores Turcotte who had been employed at the library since November 1965. Known for her skill in handling student pages as well as the public, Dolores also had been the subject a library produced video demonstrating her pie making ability.
At the July meeting of the Board Dr. Thomas J. Wells was reelected president and Sharon Fulmer vice president. A motion was made and approved to name the Small Meeting Room in memory of D. Kenneth Sargent. The Board also voted in favor of acquiring additional off site storage space for one year. Personnel changes included Dorothy Morgan becoming the Business Manager and Yvette Hewitt becoming the Director's Secretary.
July was the month of another Art in the Park which was held again in the Willow Bay area and an exhibit in the library lobby which proved controversial. Paintings done by employees of the Liverpool Central School District were on exhibit and one was a nude woman. There were a few complaints which brought the media to the library, but artistic freedom prevailed and the painting remained in the exhibit throughout the summer. Most patrons when questioned by the media said they had not even noticed the painting!
In August the local Optimist Club donated a second TDD ( Telecommunications Device fort the Deaf) to the library. Now the library had one available to loan to patrons as well as one in place at the Reference Desk.
We began to offer public access to the Internet, but only if you made an appointment and worked with an Internet facilitator in the Computer Lab.
On September 24 an Award Ceremony was held at the library to honor the staff. Board President Dr. Thomas J. Wells presented Merit Awards to Jeanne Biggins and Rita Mewing, a Performance Award to Zita Kecskes and the Student Merit Award to Nick Bufano.
In October came the resignation of Assistant Director Jean Armour Polly. According to Board minutes her office chair was declared "surplus, and present [ed] to her as payment in full for the hundreds of overtime hours she ha[d] worked for the library."
"Cornucopia," an arts and crafts show resembling a mini Art in the Park, was held at the library in time for people to buy their Christmas gifts.

Tigers fumble away Wild Card lead to M's
Detroit allows four unearned runs as bats struggle vs. Seattle
DETROIT -- The Tigers' ugly 8-1 loss against the Mariners on Sunday wrapped up in time for fans and players to get out of Comerica Park just as the crowd was moving in for the One Direction concert next door at Ford Field. Maybe that was fitting, and not just for downtown traffic.
The Tigers have been moving in the opposite direction of their competition for the past couple weeks, which is how they find themselves on the outside of the American League playoff picture. Just when they thought they had reversed the trend, they fell back into it.
They played up to former manager Jim Leyland's old adage that momentum is only as good as the next day's starting pitcher. And yet, it was more than that.
They put up quality, stingy at-bats Saturday night against Felix Hernandez to not only beat the toughest pitcher in the league, but knock him out early. Against Chris Young, those at-bats were nowhere to be found, and the overall play suffered.
"You want to get good at-bats. That's what you want to get, get deep in the counts, like we do yesterday with Felix," said Miguel Cabrera. "I think we don't do a very good job with this pitcher today. I think we have to battle better. We have to do a better job offensively.
"We had a great game last night, take out Felix in the fifth inning, sixth inning. Not to take anything away from the pitching today, but I think we need to do a better job to work counts and try to get on base."
Cabrera hasn't said much to the media over the past few weeks, let alone about their current skid. When approached after Sunday's loss, he talked to a smaller group of reporters.
"We play hard," Cabrera said, "but I think we have to do better. That's what I want to say. I say we have to play better."
He won't get any disagreement from his manager on that.
"It is baseball, but we need to play better," Brad Ausmus said. "We're a better team than this. Period."
Ausmus' primary concern is an offense that has quieted the past few weeks, despite its league-leading numbers. That is not his only concern.
While Seattle chased left-hander Robbie Ray after five innings with four runs allowed, three earned, on seven hits, three Tigers errors led to four unearned runs between Ray and Detroit's bullpen. Meanwhile, the 6-foot-10 Young tossed six scoreless innings on a day when the Tigers went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position, stranding Rajai Davis twice in a game when he stole three bases to try to provide a spark.
"I just try to get into scoring position," Davis said. "It's easier to score from 90 feet closer than it is from 90 feet further away."
The only run the Tigers scored Sunday came in from first base, Cabrera rumbling home in the eighth inning when Victor Martinez doubled off the wall.
Seattle, to be fair, has had a good pitching staff, posting a team ERA of 2.94 despite playing in the hypercompetitive AL West. The Mariners have done things like this to a lot of teams.
"You expect to be in some trouble at some point versus a lineup like that," Young said. "It's important to continue to make pitches even when there are guys on base."
The Tigers, justifiably, felt like they could've fared better.
"I think we were overaggressive, and we were swinging at a lot of pitches out of the zone, and he took advantage of that," Davis said.
Cabrera indicated that pressure might have a part in it.
"That's why you see when we have men in scoring position, we swing at a bad pitch," Cabrera said, "because we want to make something happen."
Offense ebbs and flows, Torii Hunter said. Defense shouldn't. That, said Hunter, is what concerns him.
Davis said he simply missed Kendrys Morales' fifth-inning fly ball. His bruised left thumb had nothing to do with it. Nick Castellanos' eighth-inning fielding error was his 10th error of the year, and his second misplay in three games. Add in Martinez's error, and they've allowed nine batters to reach base on errors in August.
"Some days we play good defense and then we don't hit," Cabrera said. "Some days we hit good and don't play good defense. If we want to win, we have to stick together, play defense, hit and pitch at the same time.
"I think we still have a good shot because we still have a lot of games against Kansas City and Cleveland, against our division. When we play against our division, we play good. What we can do is go out there and play hard."

MICHAEL CHEIKA is not the only figure shaking things up at the Waratahs this year.
Cheika's new attack coach, former All Blacks utility and Crusaders assistant coach Daryl Gibson, has revealed he wants to move Wallabies outside-centre Rob Horne to No.12 this season.
''From what I've seen of [Horne] he's certainly been impressive and he's got a lot to offer Waratahs rugby and Australian rugby and perhaps that opportunity may come at inside-centre,'' Gibson said.
''I've only been here a couple of months but certainly some of the skill sets he's got lends nicely to that position … he's quite an abrasive, robust sort of player and will give you a lot of go-forward in the middle of the park, probably what Ben Tapuai does for the Reds and Pat McCabe for the Brumbies.''
Horne has carved out a niche at outside-centre over the the past five years and was Wallabies coach Robbie Deans's starting choice in the three-Test series against Wales in June.
He was left out of the Wallabies squad during the Rugby Championship three months later and had his sights set on a spring tour revival before injuring his hamstring in the Shute Shield semi-final for Southern Districts.
There were calls earlier in the week for Horne to be dropped from the Waratahs starting line-up this season to allow for Israel Folau and Adam Ashley-Cooper but Gibson, a former inside-centre, has been quietly hatching a plan to move the 23-year-old across to No.12.
''He largely reflects the style of game we want to play - a really abrasive, go-forward game,'' Gibson said. ''He'd be ideal there.''
Expect more surprises from Moore Park with Gibson and veteran coach Alan Gaffney working alongside Cheika this year.
Gibson's appointment is proof Cheika could be serious about selecting outside the box. The pair hit it off over a beer at an airport hotel on the outskirts of Christchurch last year.
Gibson, who resigned last year after four seasons at the Crusaders, was talking to English club Leicester and had not given a thought to working in Australia.
But a call from Deans, who coached Gibson at the Crusaders and knew he was available, changed that. The Wallabies coach sent Gibson's number to Cheika and the pair met.
''I was pretty much decided on going to the UK … I tried to put him off … [but] I remember thinking I really like this guy, I like what vision he has for the team,'' he said.
''And I knew what sort of team the Waratahs had on paper. I remember going home to my wife saying 'I could really work with that man'. Bizarrely out of nothing, came an opportunity.''
Not to mention a handful of valuable insights. Apart from his plan for Horne, Gibson said he was struck by how wedded Australian rugby is to structured play.
''In New Zealand, we're very instinctive and we tend to pass the ball to someone and they will do something special to create play,'' he said. ''Whereas here you structure to make play … while I'm here I'd like to try to get the players to recognise more situations and play more instinctively.''
He has great respect for the Australian style and disputes the widely-held perception a gulf exists between the Wallabies and All Blacks.
''The Australians should have won that Test up in Brisbane. When they squeezed the All Blacks for time and space they looked much better,'' Gibson said.
He is impressing on players the importance of perfecting position-specific skills - another strength, according to Gibson, in the New Zealand conference - and helping Cheika build a team culture as strong as the Crusaders. Two months into his Australian adventure, Gibson said there was a vast improvement on the Waratahs of 2012.
''One of the criticisms of the Waratahs last year from a lot of the New Zealand teams was that the Waratahs were unfit,'' he said.
''We've done a lot of work this year on our fitness and we believe we're going to be a far better.''

Stephen Crabb is celebrating an emphatic victory this morning (Friday), as he held onto his Preseli Pembrokeshire seat by an overwhelming majority.
The Preseli Pembrokeshire result was announced shortly after 4am, following a tense recount of both Labour candidate Mari Rees' and Liberal Democrat candidate Nick Tregoning's ballot papers.
Mr Crabb retained the seat by a majority of 4,605, a huge difference from the 2005 election when he took the seat from Labour with only 607 votes.
"I'm absolutely thrilled with the result," he said. "To win with a substantially increased majority, we're delighted with that.
"We knew that it would be a tough fight, a close race. Pembrokeshire is a marginal area. To get returned with a majority of over 4,000 is very pleasing indeed."
Mr Crabb thanked the voters of Pembrokeshire for giving him the opportunity to go back to Westminster and represent this "very very special constituency", saying it was a huge privilege and honour to be a member of parliament.
The former Tasker Milward student said his pledge to his constituents remained the same one he made five years ago.
"I don't want Pembrokeshire to have ever had a harder working MP than myself," he said.
"My promise is to always put the interest of local people first, whatever the issue that comes up in the House of Commons."
The Conservative team were planning to celebrate at Haverfordwest's Balfour Club followed by breakfast at the nearby Wetherspoons . Mr Crabb said he hoped that his party would find itself in a position to form the national government.
"I do believe this country needs that change," he said.
Mr Crabb's main opponent was Labour's Mari Rees, who moved back to her native Pembrokeshire to fight for the Preseli Pembrokeshire seat.
Ms Rees said that she was disappointed both for the people who voted Labour, and who wanted a Labour government, as well as her hard-working campaign team.
She said that the feeling on the doorsteps of Pembrokeshire had been very positive and supportive towards the Labour government.
" I do think that we have been subject to the Lib Dem bounce and the national trend," she added.
Mari said she had made Pembrokeshire her home and would be more than happy to stand again.
"We may not have been victorious this time," she said, " but we will be back and we will be victorious."
The full results for the Preseli Pembrokeshire constituency were: Stephen Crabb (Welsh Conservative) 16,944 Mari Rees (Labour) 12,339 Nick Tregoning (Liberal Democrat) 5,759 Henry Ellis Jines-Davies (Plaid Cymru) 3,654 Richard Maxwell Lawson (UKIP) 906

Topic: Symptoms at the end
My Dad is nearing the end. He declined in the last 24 hrs. He has been mainly asleep, barely talking and he is making a noise while asleep as if he has pain but when we ask him if has pain, he doesn't answer. We don't want to give him to many medications at one time but wonder if we should give him either methadone or morphine. He also started the hiccups this afternoon even while asleep.
The hospice nurse told us based on his very low pressure he may only have a few hours to days.

- Motor Symptoms Change From Baseline (Negative = Improvement) [ Time Frame: Study Days 1 and 43 ]
Motor symptoms were measured using the change from baseline to Day 43 in the combined score of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Part II (Activities of Daily Living) and Part III (Motor Examination). The possible total score is 0 to 160 and a negative change in score indicates improvement.
Analysis Method: Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The UPDRS Parts II+III score was analyzed by constructing 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) on the difference between the pimavanserin dose group and placebo mean change from baseline. Non-inferiority was concluded if the upper limit of the CI was less than or equal to 5.

Two more missing snowboarders found near Whitewater
For the second time in three days, a pair of lost snowboarders rescued from the backcountry has Nelson Search and Rescue frustrated that the utterly unprepared keep taking risks.
The latest snowboarders were reported missing before midnight on Tuesday and after an extensive search were found Wednesday afternoon.
"These two gentlemen were completely unprepared. They had no pack, no food, no water, no snowshoes — they just had what they were wearing and their snowboards. In my opinion, these two were very fortunate that we found them when we did," said search manager Murray Springman.
Nelson RCMP received a call about the missing snowboarders, two males aged 30 and 40. They were reported overdue with their vehicle still in the Whitewater parking lot, but these were the only true clues as to their whereabouts. The men, who hinted to friends where they may be venturing, were described as good snowboarders but not frequent out-of-bounders.
"We cannot stress the importance of being properly prepared and leaving an accurate itinerary with friends or with family. These two never really told anyone where they were going," said Springman. "We had no idea where they might be."
Search and Rescue were alerted and at first light started their search by helicopter, but poor visibility limited the area that could be searched. Avalanche risk being high, technicians were onboard to look for signs of an avalanche which could have buried the snowboarders. None were seen, neither were tracks.
Two ground teams were also deployed and at 1 p.m., the snowboarders were spotted sinking up to their waist in snow on the backside of Prospector Ridge in Qua Creek drainage.
"They were on snowboards. They did not have any snowshoes or means of transportation to get back up," said Springman.
The pair were taken snowshoes and helped up before taking them to Whitewater lodge for medical attention. They both had frostbite on their toes and one had frostbite on his right hand.
Springman said the snowboarders hunkered down overnight and should count themselves lucky to come out of this experience with only minor injuries.
"When we got called I figured, it's cold, it's been snowing. The avalanche hazard is high," he said.
"With the father and son [earlier this week] we were fortunate that no one was hurt. I wondered if we would see a second time lucky as well — well thank heavens we did."
This latest rescue comes on the heels of a missing father and son found near Whitewater earlier this week. Springman understands the allure of venturing out of bounds.
"The backcountry is great. It's beautiful. But you have to be properly trained, equipped, etc.," he said.
Periodically there is a true accident, said the search manager with 23 years experience. But far too often recklessness is the reason his organization is called out.
"We do what we're trained for and what the public expects from us, but it's frustrating. This is twice in three days having to go into the backcountry, putting our members' safety at risk to try and locate people and bring them out when they are careless, really. They're not properly prepared."
Springman estimates the cost of this rescue in the $5,000 to $7,000 range with the hire of a helicopter. When asked if people should bare some of the expense of a search if they venture out of bounds unprepared, Springman said he'd never enter that debate.
"We train for this. The public donates a lot of money. We purchase the best equipment available and we go out and bring people back. If they should be charged? You will never get a comment out of a search and rescue volunteer what should happen to the subjects.
"Our job is to go find them and bring them back," he said.

On wrong side of overturned call, Nats fall in Philly
After Asdrubal ties it, Phils takes advantage of successful challenge
PHILADELPHIA -- The three-run deficit the Nationals were facing by the seventh inning seemed more like a 30-run hole with Cole Hamels mowing down Washington hitters.
The Phillies' ace finally appeared mortal in the seventh, but after Asdrubal Cabrera's game-tying homer off Hamels in the eighth, the Nationals gave it right back and fell to the Phillies by a single run, 4-3, on Tuesday night at Citizens Bank Park.
"He had everything working. He had a good tempo going," Ian Desmond said. "But that's a testament to us, rattling off three runs -- that's a big homer by Cabby right there. But we don't stop. They got us tonight, but we'll come back tomorrow."
The loss marks the first time the Nats have dropped a series since Aug. 8-10, when they lost two out of three to Atlanta. They still hold a 7 1/2-game lead in the National League East with the Mets defeating the Braves.
A throwing error by Ian Desmond to begin the bottom of the eighth lent way to the game's winning run. Ben Revere was initially called out on the play, but the call was overturned after Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg challenged and the umpires ruled that Desmond's throw pulled Kevin Frandsen off first base. Revere stole second, was advanced to third on a flyout by Jimmy Rollins and was driven home on a sacrifice fly by Carlos Ruiz.
"I don't think it matters what I think," Frandsen said about the overturned call. "Replay showed what they thought. It's what we've got to live with. It's what I've got to live with, not being tall enough."
"I was sitting there trying to digest it," Desmond said. "I don't really think there was a whole lot else I could do. He hit the ball sharp to my backhand side, it was a little bit too close to backhand. Don't really have time to aim, so I just tried to get rid of it as quick as I could, make a good throw, you know. But he's safe by -- if he is safe -- by an inch at the most. But speed never goes in a slump and he used it right there."
Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez negotiated the first four innings without fault, but one pitch in the fifth inning cost him. Grady Sizemore led off the fifth with a triple that hit off the base of the wall, just to the left of the 398-foot sign in right-center. Then, Freddy Galvis took a strike before connecting on a high fastball for his first homer of the season to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead.
It was Galvis' third hit in 46 Major League at-bats this season. He entered the at-bat hitting .044.
"He just made good contact," Gonzalez said. "Ninety-four [mph] up and in, it's tough to get at least that much wood on it. He did his job."
Darin Ruf padded Philadelphia's lead with a solo blast in the bottom of the sixth before Gonzalez finished his night with a final line of three runs on six hits and a walk with four strikeouts in six innings pitched.
"It's progress," Gonzalez said. "Obviously, everyone wants to go six, seven innings scoreless, eight innings scoreless. It's a team that you're going to have to be scrappy about. I've spent three seasons facing the same lineup, you know, different guys here and there, but it's a work in progress. ... You leave a ball up, they're going to hit it. That's baseball."
Washington put three of the first four batters on in the seventh to load the bases with one out. In the ensuing at-bats, Wilson Ramos and Frandsen each had RBI singles, but Danny Espinosa and Denard Span followed with outs to end the threat with three runners stranded on base.
The Nationals had additional chances earlier on Tuesday night. In the third inning, Gonzalez couldn't get a bunt down that would have advanced Frandsen -- who reached second on a single and a wild pitch -- to third base.
"We've got a man on second base and nobody out," manager Matt Williams said. "Gave [Gonzalez] the bunt sign, and he swung away. We have to make sure we do that.
"They did a good job of that tonight in the last inning of getting [a runner] to third. And that wins you games."
In the next inning, Jayson Werth singled with one out, but was called out at second on a force play. Galvis dropped the ball, but it was ruled to be dropped on the transfer. Then, Desmond was picked off first in what he believed to be a balk.
"As I'm over there and I'm taking off, I can see it," Desmond said. "I put my head down after I saw what thought I saw, thought I had a good read on it. I thought it was a balk."
The umpires, as they did many times on Tuesday night, thought differently.
"It's in their hands, and the way they call it is the way it goes," Desmond said.

This week, we bring back the blog with help from Diana Eng (RADAR ep 31 – Fairytale Fashion), and she made it easy for me, since I'm already a huge fan of most of her choices. She's been quite busy lately, with her amazing line and increasing popularity in the fashion world, including her new collection of Laser Lace Tees and Tops. You can also check out her shop, as well as read up on her inspiration on her own blog.
How long can you nyan for? This very well could be the last thing the Internet ever needs, as it combines the holy trifecta of cats, adorableness, and utter randomness. Based off of PRguitarman's original Pop Tart Cat .gif (I suppose toast is healthier?) times how long you can, well, nyan. It's so addictive, though, that you can nyan for hours on end if you allow it. Added bonuses here include putting the site into different languages such as Japanese (makes sense), Nyan (exactly what you'd expect) and Catalan, giving double meaning to the .cat domain name. We may think it's cute now, but once cats successfully conquer the Internet, the rest of the world will surely follow. So cute though!
Unleash the fury of NYAN HERE.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps
This was Diana's pick, but I have to interject here—this isn't just one of my all time favorite songs, but possibly my all time favorite music video, and a big part of my inspiration for wanting to get into filming bands. A ballad off their definitely-classic-by-now debut LP Fever to Tell, it showed that the (at the time) rising buzz band Yeah Yeah Yeahs (and more specifically, lead singer Karen O) could do more than thrash and screech, but also create one of the most touching songs of the last decade.

Tina Fey – Bossypants
Tina Fey is just one of those people who do pretty much everything right—30 Rock is still the funniest thing on TV after like, what, 5 seasons? Then there's Date Night and Baby Mama, and the fact that after she left Saturday Night Live the only time people talk about the show is when they mention how far downhill it's gone since then. So clearly she's some kind of sorceress and we should all be terrified. Or you can read her hilarious book and hopefully absorb some of its power. If nothing else, reading it on the subway is sure to piss off the disgruntled former frat bros who still insist, "women aren't funny." Tina Fey just happens to be at the top of a long list of women who prove them wrong.

Diana has picked a couple of nice blogs for you to check out, specifically if you like, well, things and stuff. Thingiverse is a blog co-founded by fellow RADAR contributor Bre Pettis of Makerbot (RADAR ep 19), focusing on digital designs from ordinary people and realizing them through the use of machines like laser cutters and digital printers. In a similar vein is Ponoko, which is sort of like a digital Etsy (or rather, a more-digital Etsy), exploring the art of digital making even further.

Lovely Silk Handkerchief with Pindot Design
Contrast colour hem
100% Silk
Size approx 34cm x 34cm
Did you know that in the middle of the 4th millennium BCE the first linen fabrics which had been used for ceremonial pocket squares were found at Hierakonpolis, Egypt
By 2,000 BCE some wealthy Egyptians carried the first true pocket squares which were made of bleached white linen, silk was available, but in very limited quantities so only the highest ranked nobles would have had silk handkerchiefs
It is also believed that King Richard the Second helped to popularize handkerchiefs in England circa 1390
During Tudor and Stuart times printed limited edition pocket squares became collectors items, (I'm sure they would have loved some of these designs!) and during the Victorian era people would hang silk hankies from their back pockets
There is an old Irish proverb showing their pholosophy on pocket squares which is 'Always carry a pocket square to show, and a handkerchief to blow'

R.A. Dickey won his fifth straight game Thursday night as the Mets defeated the Indians 6-4 in the final game of the series. He allowed three runs, two earned, in six innings.
Once again, the bullpen and especially Francisco Rodriguez, caused some nervous moments as Pedro Feliciano gave up a run in the seventh inning allowing the Indians to pull within a run. In the ninth, K-Rod gave up a hit but ended up striking out three to earn his 15th save of the season.
The Mets offense was on fire yet again as they got 14 hits and six runs, three of which were in the first inning. Jose Reyes had a big night with a single, double and triple, an RBI and two runs scored. The Mets held their breath in the first inning when his hand was spiked while he was trying to get back to first on a pick-off attempt.
Ike Davis, designated hitter Chris Carter and Angel Pagan each had two hits. Davis drove in two runs. Jeff Francoeur was the only Met not to get a hit but he did drive in a run.
Even with a seven-game winning streak, the Mets are still a half-game behind the Braves as they also keep winning.
The Mets will continue their interleague play against the Yankees, who are in first place in the American League East division, this weekend. It should be a great series with a lot riding on it.
