Jay-Z, Swizz Beatz and director Sam Brown call rumor that 'On to the Next One' video is worshiping certain community untrue.
Soon after Jay-Z's "On to the Next One" video which features Swizz Beatz was premiered, rumor swirled suggesting the rapper was paying homage to Illuminati community. In a recent radio interview, Jay-Z who was recently ranked by Forbes as top-earning artist along with his wife Beyonce Knowles was quick to deny such allegation.
"I got a lot of money," he told Power 105.1 radio host Ed Lover on Wednesday, January 13. "When people get a lot of money, they start getting those rumors like Tom Cruise, Will Smith. That's ridiculous." He added, "That's crazy to me. I gotta remind people I'm from Marcy Projects. I can't get into a golf club in Palm Springs."
In the same tone, his collaborator Swizz Beatz told MTV, "I don't think about that. I know that's a billion percent not true. The video displays another level of art and creativity from two great minds: the director and Jay - and myself, bringing the collaboration together."
"It's no satanic ways around me and that's for sure. I'm with Jay - I never see none of that stuff around him unless he's hiding something, which I doubt. C'mon, man. That's silly stuff. That stuff you don't even comment on; we on to the next one."
Directed by Sam Brown, "On to the Next One" music video was debuted on January 1 and features cameo from Young Jeezy. Sam also dismissed the demonic rumor explaining to Vibe, "I'm aware of the stir the video has caused and what people are saying. I think when you're dealing in abstract imagery people are going to want to draw lines between things and make sense of it."
"However, I've always felt that the viewing public was, in general, extremely visually literate. They don't always want or need things to be spelled out for them. One of the great things about music videos are they can be enjoyed purely visually - it doesn't need to mean anything or make any sense."
"Conspiracy theory is another thing entirely, and seems to me to be about projecting pre-existing beliefs and desperately looking for things that confirm them. There is imagery in this video that is drawn from all over the place. None of it is owned by any one culture or belief system. You can connect anything if you try hard enough, and make it mean anything you want it to."

Riga (Oct. 28)
Providing Matzohs for Passover is a transgression for which a member of the Communist Party is liable to exclusion from the privileged class in Russia, according to decision of the Regional Committee of the Communist Party in Homel.
The tribunal today considered the appeal of the Jewish Communist Lew, who was excluded from the Communist Party on the accusation that although he participated in the anti-religious campaign during the Passover holiday last year, he provided himself, his family and his parents with Matzohs and gave a Seder. When asked for an explanation, Lew declared that he obtained Matzohs for his household, not because of religious convictions, but because he thought bread would be dangerous food for his wife who was pregnant.
The Regional Committee of the Communist Party rejected Lew's appeal.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by DBoys, Oct 10, 2005.
Your boy played a heck of a game. He owned Kearse from start to finish. Strahan is next!!!
Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but Rob is quickly becoming my favorite O-lineman.
LA is a legend, but it's a shame that he makes way more huge mental mistakes than a rookie 6th rounder.
Anyway, I hope we can find more guys cut from the Rob Petitti cloth in upcoming drafts. Our line needs an infusion of youth, and to have a kid step up as quickly as Rob has is a true blessing!
Yeah the eagles were the team that everybody was worried about because of our question mark at RT going into this season, looks like Rob passed that one with flying colors
I rewatched the first 2 quarters and Rob was unreal.
What a game.. what an unbelievable game.
This is the first game I was able to watch.
I watched Rob close as well as Rivera, and both performed well. He is really progressing well and I bet Rivera has alot to do with that improvement.
I was really pleased by the play of the O-Line.
LOL...it was almost comical the way they would show the replay's and Kearse would just be getting physically manhandled by Rob. He was literally just throwing one of the best pass rushers in the league around like a little rag doll. I remember the only play that they showed specifically...it seriously looked like Campbell just held him up, and Rob came up and knocked him like 5 yards to the side. Great to see such a fast rising draft pick do so well. I am definately impressed.
Excellent showing for Rob.
Very impressive this season.
I never doubted him.
GREAT JOB AS HES DONE ALL SEASON.IMO. WILL BE A PRO-BOWLER [not a homer opinion]
Great game by Rob. You should be very proud.
I totally agree Pittdawg. But what was up with him wanting to be on an island with Parcells? I think I could come up with the names of several thousand women before I'd get to Coach.
Outstanding job by Rob. They talk of Ware being rookie of the year and rightly so, but Rob is playing WAY beyond all expections.
Great story unfolding with Rob. Great kid.
Morning sir.
Great game for you son!
I totally agree
Let me add my :bravo: to the list Sarge.
Great job by Petitti, I've been pulling for him since the draft and it is nice to see him coming along so well.
Yep - RT was a huge issue going into this year, especially with Rogers using up roster space then getting injured.
There has been NO, nada, none, talk of RT problems since Rob stepped in.
If I had to pick the success story of the year, it might be Bledsoe, but Rob is getting mentioned - BIG time.
Rob was playin out of his mind today!!! Respect must be given!!!
yep he is playing like a vet, really unreal for a 6th round pick to come in and start and do so damn well. Such a huge pickup for the team, he is gonna be starting for many years. hes an absolute beast out there.
I like that he has that mean streak. Appears to be going above and beyond to punish opponents. I like that - wears the heart of a defender out when he's constantly getting pounded. And at 6-6 330 - thats a pounding.

PFF Playoff Pick'em: Divisional Round
After an exciting first round, the postseason moves to the next stage and our team is ready with their picks and some brief bits of insight into the thoughts that led to their selections.
The Charger win over Cincinnati took Rick to 3-1 and the only winning record from Wild Card Weekend while four of our guys finished with sub-.500 marks (anchored by an impressive 0-4 by one, sorry Steve). So, eager to improve, the lot have buckled down, thought long and hard, and are sure to fare better with this second chance. We'll see.
We did all come to the same conclusion on one contest as our first consensus pick of the playoffs comes in the weekend's finale — all of our eight see the Charger run coming to an end. While Gordon opts for the Saints in Seattle and Neil calls for a Colts win in New England, the team is split down the middle on the mirror-image 49er-Panther matchup.
Ah, the playoffs.
New Orleans Saints @ Seattle Seahawks
Ben – The first encounter was a letdown thanks to the Saints shooting themselves in the foot and throwing away the game in the first quarter. I don't expect the same self destructive start but I also don't expect them to be able to pick up the franchise's second road playoff victory a week after their first. The Seahawks will be rested and ready to defend their home field on both sides of the ball.
Gordon – After the last matchup between these two in Week 13, it looked like Seattle was going to coast their way to the Super Bowl. Since then though they've gone 2-2 including doing the unthinkable and losing in Seattle to the Cardinals in Week 16. Meanwhile, the Saints' running game looks as good as I can remember in recent times and they've got the ever-fantastic Drew Brees at quarterback. With that in mind, I think Russell Wilson and the Seahawks see their season end at the hand of NFC South opposition for the second straight year.
Khaled – Crazier things have happened than a team getting their backsides handed to them and then turning that on it's head in the rematch. Only I don't see that happening here. The Saints will be more competitive for sure and their offense will be better prepared for what's coming their way, but Seattle is just too strong at home.
Nathan – While I think it will be closer than the 34-7 game in Week 13, I think the Seahawks' defense can shut down Drew Brees a lot more than the Saints' defense can stop the Seahawks' offense. The Saints will also be without two of their best defenders from the first matchup in Kenny Vaccaro and Parys Haralson.
Neil – While the Saints may have been able to overcome a lackluster defensive display by the Eagles, I don't think they'll have the same degree of success here. It'll certainly be closer than the last game, but I see the Seattle having more success running to the perimeter and also Russell Wilson's ability in the option opening up the middle of the run D too.
Rick – It's been fun to see the Saints field a defense worth watching this year and their seam-attacking offense is always a joy, but it's exhausting getting up for another big road test just after finally conquering one. That's going to leave them a few steps short against the real deal Seahawks playing in their insane home environment.
Sam – The league's biggest home field advantage together with arguably the league's best team I just can't look beyond the Seahawks here. The fact that they can deploy Percy Harvin, one of the league's most dynamic weapons, again only helps. Never write off the Saints, but this should be a Seattle win.
Steve – While I think it will be closer this time around, the Seahawks are just loaded on defense and so difficult to beat in their building. The Saints' offense has to find a way to get Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles inolved in the game, so I'll be watching closely to see how to deploy their playmakers.
Indianapolis Colts @ New England Patriots
Ben – A spectacular comeback by the Colts last weekend but if they start the same way against the Patriots lightning will not strike twice. LeGarrette Blount's excellent form to end the season has added an extra feather to their bow on offense and the defense will do enough to allow Tom Brady and the offense to take the Patriots to another AFC Championship game.
Gordon – For as good as that comeback against the Chiefs was, the first half (and first play of the second half) wasn't far off calamitous for the Colts. That being said, there was something really special about the way Luck played in the second half and it makes for a fantastic matchup this week. Both quarterbacks have pulled out late game heroics this year and I get the feeling that whichever quarterback has the ball last will lead his team to victory. Still, given that it's in New England, I think the Patriots and Brady win it late.
Khaled – Against Alex Smith and a crippled Chiefs outfit you might get away with playing one excellent half of football. Against the Patriots? No dice. New England will give up some points but I can see them controlling things on the ground, keeping hold of the ball and in the end forcing the mistakes from Andrew Luck.
Nathan – The Patriots seem to be getting hot at the right time with players like LeGarrette Blount, Julian Edelman and Dont'a Hightower playing very well recently. While there are a few match-ups that favor the Colts, I think there are more that favor New England.
Neil – An upset? Well I think it may happen. New England has issues on the defense that have been papered over with clever coaching all year and who better to highlight them than Andrew Luck. He'll need to take less time to get into his stride, though, because Tom Brady will make short work of finding the clear weakness in the linebackers' underneath coverage.
Rick – The Colt defense is going to be picked apart in this one and there just won't be the door left open for them to crawl back in. I'm expecting a marching win for New England getting up by the half and showing some 'step on the throat' ability to ride on to the AFC title game from there.
Sam – Honestly I'm far from enthused by either of these sides. I think they're both pretty flawed, but the Colts showed last week the depth of those problems and owe their spot to an epic choke job (which they took full advantage of) from Kansas City. The Patriots for all their flaws keep finding ways to hide them just enough.
Steve – I'm not sure the Colts can win if they turn the ball over as they did last week and Andrew Luck isn't as careful with the football as his nine regular season interceptions would have you believe. The matchup to watch will be the Patriots' pass defense trying to find a way to contain T.Y. Hilton who is easily the Colts' most dangerous receiver.
San Francisco 49ers @ Carolina Panthers
Ben – I've been waiting and waiting all season for the 49ers to re-discover their best form of a year ago and I'm going to chance going away from them just as they find it. I'm nervous about this young Panthers team being the most at risk of a letdown of this week's home teams, but I just think their defenses matches up well against a San Francisco offense that isn't quite executing with the precision that carried them to the Super Bowl last season.
Gordon – While it was the win over the Patriots on Monday Night Football that seemed to spark everyone's belief in the Panthers, it's worth remembering that the week before they were able to squeeze by the 49ers on the road. Both quarterbacks have been better running than they have been throwing the ball so it may come down to which can avoid mistakes and make the biggest play with his legs. Just like they did earlier in the year, I think Carolina scrapes by and sets up an All-NFC South NFC Championship game.
Khaled – That defeat earlier in the season stung and it's time for the 49ers to exact their revenge. They're better up front than they showed that day and I can see them wearing down the Panthers before Michael Crabtree comes up the difference in these two teams. Of course a lot depends on the play of Cam Newton because if he plays lights out, I'm not sure even the Niners can stop him.
Nathan – I think this is basically a toss up. The biggest difference from the first matchup is Michael Crabtree, but Crabtree has only gained a lot of yards against below average cornerbacks. When in doubt, I go with the home team, and this case it is Carolina who is also coming off a bye.
Neil – The Panthers have been threatening to run out of steam for some time while the 49ers are only just getting going. Momentum will carry them through and I see Colin Kapernick playing far better than he did in the previous encounter.
Rick – While San Francisco's goals were loftier, the Carolina fight this year was to prove themselves as a legit contender. Job done for the Panthers but the 49ers are eyeing something bigger and they'll get their dream date with Seattle the week after. A great matchup and sure to be another slugfest, but even Ric Flair knows where the smart money goes in this one.
Sam – I have a theory that come crunch time you just pick the team with the better quarterback. That would have put me 3-1 last week in picks with the only loss coming in Arctic Green Bay, but this week it leads to a lot of coin flips still. These two teams are so much alike it's eery. When in doubt, choose the home team!
Steve – This is going to be an entertaining trench battle, but it should still come down to which quarterback makes more plays in the end. Kaepernick dodged a bullet last week when Micah Hyde was unable to haul in the would-be interception, but he bounced back and found a way to move the chains. Newton still misses too many throws for my liking so I'm taking the 49ers to advance.
San Diego Chargers @ Denver Broncos
Ben – A repeat of the Chargers' Week 15 win at Mile High on the cards? I don't think so, the Broncos' offense rebounded with two big games to end the season and though the Chargers' defense has played better down the stretch this is still a unit that Peyton Manning and his passing game can light up if they hit their marks. My only concern is how much pressure Denver can get on Phillip Rivers, the onus is on the likes of Robert Ayers to hit form for the playoffs.
Gordon – A week ago the Chargers were lucky to have even made the playoffs, scraping past the Chiefs' backups at home in the final game of the season. Fast forward past their win over the Bengals in Cincinnati last week and they suddenly have that "Team You Don't Want to Face" tag again. Meanwhile we've got the PFF MVP in Peyton Manning trying to prove that he can lead the Broncos to a win in January after falling at this stage last year. I think the Broncos put up enough points and, more importantly, avoid any embarrassing coverage slip ups late to set up a Tom Brady-Peyton Manning AFC Championship in Denver next week.
Khaled – Yep the Chargers have Manning's number. And he sucks in the playoffs. I've heard all the narratives out there but I'm not buying that perhaps the greatest quarterback of all time doesn't have it in him to shut more than a few people up. Andy Dalton capitulated when pressured, but Denver will learn from their TNF mistakes and with Wes Welker back working over Marcus Gilchrist, this one promises to deliver a lot of points.
Nathan – The Chargers have seemed to play up or down to the level of their opponent, so I could see them certainly keeping this game close. I just don't think the San Diego defense who is average at best can slow down Peyton Manning for a third game in just over two months.
Neil – It was nice while it lasted but I don't think John Pagano has another game plan to stop Peyton Manning with this defense. He's done a superb job so far to stop Luck, Manning and Dalton with a very suspect secondary. The Broncos pass rush though will struggle to get much pressure on Philip Rivers so it will be a higher scoring game with the Broncos simply outscoring the Chargers
Rick – Rivers is one of my favorite players to watch but this will be the last time we see him and the Chargers take the field this year. They did well for me last week with their win in Cincy, but here Peyton & Co. will put up 40 while San Diego just tries to stay in the frame. The Denver win on Sunday afternoon is the final piece to cement my ideal Final Four of Manning vs. Brady and San Francisco at Seattle.
Sam – The Broncos should be the AFC's representative for the Super Bowl. They should be, and yet until they actually get there I won't believe it. At this point Peyton Manning's legacy as the greatest regular season quarterback of all time is secure, but if he wants to have that italicized caveat removed from his name in history, he needs this run. It starts now.
Steve – I've been extremely impressed with the Chargers in recent weeks and Philip Rivers is more than capable of carrying this team to the SuperBowl. They should have a great shot at winning this weekend, but Peyton Manning and the Broncos' offense will be too much to handle. Chargers free safety Eric Weddle will be one to watch as he lines up all over the field and his versatility could be a key to San Diego pulling the upset.
Follow the team on Twitter: Ben, Gordon, Khaled, Nathan, Neil, Rick, Sam, and Steve … and the main account too: @PFF

E-mail backup and archiving for Liverpool University.
C2C Systems
: 29 April, 2008
(Application Story)
Protection of vital documents and attachments for University of Liverpool achieved including offsite access with the implementation of Archive One from C2C.
C2C has implemented Archive One as the staff archiving solution at the University of Liverpool to decrease the backup window and provide staff members with seamless management and worldwide access to email.
The University of Liverpool is one of the largest in the UK with over 4,500 staff and 25,000 registered students. Email is business critical and the primary means of communication. Staff email boxes were bulging with irreplaceable coursework and papers, hence backups were becoming increasingly cumbersome. The University needed to identify an archiving solution that could cope with large volumes; retain files long-term and provide online access to historic collections of email. Iain Stinson, Director of Computing Services, described the email traffic: "The University supports 34,000 mailboxes, 4,500 of which are staff. We receive more than 8 million messages per month to 50,000 locations worldwide." Some staff required large attachments (including images) to be stored within their messages, with each mailbox user having set quotas. Once these limits were exceeded, many resorted to using PST files which caused concern as these files were only available to the local Outlook client.
The archiving solution firstly needed to reduce the volume of email so that email backups could complete in a more timely fashion. Secondly, in terms of management, Computing Services wanted to empower the staff to properly manage their allocation of email storage space and have access to the email archive from wherever they were in the world. Lastly, the team recognised that it would be valuable to have a tool that allowed for future email auditing should it be required.
Computing Services examined the archive offerings from EMC, Quest Software, IBM and Symantec and following a rigorous procurement process, selected Archive One from C2C because of it addressed all their requirements. This was an important factor for the team who were reassured by C2C's awareness, commitment and demonstrable history of keeping pace with Microsoft's ongoing developments. In addition, Archive One's features neatly fitted the Universities archiving requirements; it left the archived items fully visible (where the user left them) and yet significantly reduced the backup time. In addition, the archiving policies offered by Archive One were very comprehensive and included the features required for establishing effective standard profiles.
After extensive testing to endorse usage policies, the Archive One implementation successfully occurred 4 months after migrating from a UNIX based systems to Microsoft Exchange. The system was configured to operate within a watertight disaster recovery environment with archived data being stored on the mail SANs; and then replicated between the two data centres. There are two Archive One servers running to provide a resilient environment for the email archive.
The use of Archive One has provided significant results. The number of messages has been reduced through the management of the data. The size of the online (active) information store has been reduced dramatically. A large proportion of the data has been moved to lower cost storage and is held in compressed format, reducing costs and storage requirements. The online store is now significantly smaller reducing the full data store back-up times. In terms of future-proofing investment, time rarely stands still for the University - they are preparing shortly to introduce Exchange 2007 to work with Archive One.
Iain summarises the experience: 'C2C's Archive One archive facility has benefited the University tremendously in the reduction of on-line messages and the active storage required, whilst allowing staff immediate access to emails and attachments, regardless of where they are in the world. It's a facility that we could no longer be without.'

The backyard projects are almost complete! Landscaping is HARD work. I have a new admiration for those that spend their careers in this field. We have been working on the backyard landscaping for over a month at this point, and I am running out of oomph. Any body have a good recipe for "instant energy!?!" I need it.
I keep telling myself that I'm not getting old. I'll be 30 this year, and it is a bit shocking. I'm still young, right!?! The answer is YES. 🙂 Plus, I am getting up several times a night with the baby, so that influences my attitude/energy too, right!?!
Well, the outdoor swing set area is completely done. Hip, hip, HOORAY. The kids have had an absolute blast playing out there for hours on end since we got it done.
My sexy man, Dan, installed a castle block border to surround the swing set. We chose specific blocks from Home Depot for this task. The castle blocks swirl around the area to separate the swing set area from the rest of the landscaping. The castle blocks also serve as a barrier to keep the rubber chips separate from the rocks.
Dan carefully leveled each block individually, and then carefully glued the second layer in place with construction adhesive.
Then, with the help of some fabulous family members who were in town, we leveled the dirt area and carefully raked the rocks into piles and used the wheelbarrow to remove them. (What a PAIN!)
Next came two layers of weed mat. Weed mat prevents weeds from growing in the area that it is installed. To be safe, we laid weed mat going North to South, and when that was done, we started over and laid the mat going East to West. We didn't want to take any chances. So we laid two layers to prevent weeds in the long run.
We carefully trimmed the edges of the weed mat to fit perfectly around the castle block border.
The weed mat is held securely in place with clips that we hammered into the ground. We learned from the start that the commercial grade clips worked much better with our hard, rock infested ground. The other, dinky clips bent immediately.
We decided to spread rubber mulch under the swing set since a friend hooked us up with about 35 garbage bags full of the stuff for FREE. Yep, I said free. The bags were headed to the dump, and instead ended up getting a new home. I may have done a fist pump after he called!
Doing jobs like this yourself may not seem enticing, and believe me, I know how hard landscaping is. But, we have saved THOUSANDS of dollars by doing these projects ourselves. Granted, you must know your own limits. I'm lucky to have a husband who enjoys landscape work. He is OBSESSED. As a result, I'm a lucky ducky woman who is THRILLED with how everything is turning out! Stay tuned for more backyard photos soon!

Brandon and son, Davy try to find an alternative route for a railway. Upon its discovery Brandon is killed by Indians. Years later and the arilway is commissioned, but crossing and double crossing leads to Davy retracing his steps, perhaps placing himself in danger once more.
This is what archive DVD should be about - the restoration and reissue of classics that haven't seen the light of a projector beam in eons. Photoplay has done its typically exemplary job in polishing up and scoring John Ford's 50th and finest silent picture.
A pioneering railroad tale that established the tropes that would become Western bywords, this is not just a rousing adventure, but also a cinematic landmark. George Schneiderman and Burnett Guffeyís imagery still shimmers, while Fordís handling of location and showpiece is little short of magisterial.
This is not just a rousing adventure, but also a cinematic landmark.

As the national discussion on regulatory reform heats up, the American Meat Institute continued to voice its call in television, radio and print interviews for a withdrawal of the proposed livestock marketing rule published in June by USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration.
President Obama told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in a speech Monday that he wants businesses to make investments that will help create growth and that, "If there is a reason you don't believe that this is the time to get off the sidelines – to hire and invest – I want to know about it. I want to fix it."
In a release issued following the president's remarks, AMI President and Chief Executive Officer J. Patrick Boyle noted, "We've been telling anyone who would listen that this proposal stands to harm the U.S. agricultural economy and the economy as a whole. We are gratified that the president has committed to listening to concerns like ours and we hope he will remove this impediment to investment and growth by withdrawing the rule."
The president's speech occurred on the same day House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa, (R-Calif) released more than 200 responses to a recent invitation asking businesses to provide feedback on overly burdensome regulations. AMI was among the many organizations that responded, with a letter detailing the potential repercussions of the proposed GIPSA rule: http://www.meatami.com/ht/a/GetDocumentAction/i/65904.
On Thursday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform will hold a full committee hearing on the subject of "Regulatory Impediments to Job Creation."
In response to the president's speech, Janet Riley, AMI senior vice president of public affairs, appeared on dozens of broadcast television news programs, warning that burdensome regulations like the GIPSA proposed marketing rule will cost more than 100,000 jobs. "It is also going to severely disrupt the way we do business," she said. "And it could reduce the quality of the meat that's produced in America."
Furthermore, a Fiscal Times analysis today of the hundreds of regulations submitted to Issa listed the GIPSA proposed rule as among the "five biggest job killers." AMI's letter to Issa was quoted in today's article: "The proposed rules would make packers and suppliers more reluctant to utilize certain marketing agreements, and goes well beyond the mandate given by Congress in the 2008 farm bill," AMI said.

Morken promoted to sports editor
After working as an Echo Press sports reporter for six years, Eric Morken was recently promoted to sports editor.
He takes over for Lori Mork, who retired from the position this month after 17 years with the paper.
A new sports reporter will be joining the Echo Press sports team soon, which demonstrates the newspaper's continued commitment of providing Douglas County area sports fans with the results, information, features and photos from sporting events throughout the region.
"We're fortunate to have a seasoned sports reporter take on the job that Lori was so dedicated to over the years," said Publisher Jody Hanson. "Eric has shown us from the start that he is passionate about sports and he's developed a strong working relationship with local coaches and players."
Morken also takes full advantage of social media. Besides writing a blog on the newspaper's website, he's built a list of more than 350 followers of his Twitter account and frequently "tweets" breaking updates about big games and developing sports stories. Readers can follow Eric Morken on Twitter @echo_sports.
Morken is excited about taking on the challenge.
"I'm looking forward to my new role as sports editor," he said. "We will continue to use all the latest avenues through the Internet and print to produce great coverage for Douglas County sports fans."

Financial literacy knows no age limit, which is why this year's Money Smart Week Quad-Cities is offering activities designed for children to senior citizens.
Money Smart partners will host nearly 20 different community events during the region's 7th annual Money Smart Week. The week, which begins Friday and runs through April 27, helps Quad-City residents learn to better manage their money.
"Money Smart Week offers a variety of programming for adults, but this year we wanted to focus on youth education," said Nicole Burton of RIA Federal Credit Union, who co-chairs this year's event.
Burton said organizers noticed that while the effort was still a success, many events drew the same participants each year. "We wanted to see how we could get more youth and college students involved while keeping the focus on the retiree group."
The week will kick off with a new event, Family Night, from 6-8 p.m., Friday, at CASI, 1035 W. Kimberly Road, Davenport. No reservations are required for the free event.
Families will meet with financial representatives to learn more about basic money management skills, budgeting, saving, comparison shopping, planning for college and more. Some lessons will be taught through games and other activities.
Burton said the night evolved from the week's popular Scout Nights last year, which offered similar learning activities for Boy and Girl Scouts.
Throughout the week, a number of financial institutions, government agencies, not-for-profit organizations and community groups will host events to help people better manage their finances. The week includes several Community Shred Days, for residents to safely destroy old financial materials, as well as seminars for adults and children's programs.
Also new this year, Burton said, is the GeoCache for College Cash!, a contest being held at Black Hawk and Scott Community colleges in the Quad-Cities as well as at 11 other Iowa colleges and universities. Students will search for posters across campus with QR codes. They will scan the code into their cell phones to get a question to answer.
"If they answer the question correctly they get two entries for the $1,000. If they answer it, but it's wrong, they get the right answer and one entry," she said.
One lucky student will win the grand prize provided by the Iowa JumpStart Coalition. The contest is sponsored by the Iowa Bankers Association and Iowa Credit Union Foundation.

Despite her sexy look, Alba is an ICE agent who tracks down the titular character in this action crime movie.
A new full trailer for "Machete" has been unleashed via IGN. Featuring some flashback scenes from Machete's past, the trailer is filled with a lot of action sequence as the characters, from sexy nurses to a priest, pick up their guns to get rid of their enemies. A raunchy footage with Jessica Alba is additionally inserted in this trailer.
Based on the fake trailer in Robert Rodriguez's "Grindhouse", the feature film follows Machete, a Mexican ex-Federal agent with a gift for wielding a blade. Roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez, Machete reluctantly takes an offer from spin doctor Benz to assassinate McLaughlin a corrupt Senator.
Double crossed and on the run, Machete braves the odds with the help of saucy taco slinger Luz, his "holy" brother Padre, and a socialite named April with a penchant for guns, all while being tracked by Sartana, a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.
Danny Trejo takes the lead role, with Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan and Cheech Marin playing those who come to his aid. Meanwhile, Jessica Alba portrays Sartana, a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger, who tracks down Machete. Playing the bad guys are Steven Seagal and Jeff Fahey.
Robert Rodriguez writes the screenplay in addition to teaming up with Ethan Maniquis to helm the flick. 20th Century Fox will drop this action thriller in theaters across the U.S. starting September 3.

TWELVE months ago we trundled to London Road, Peterborough with low expectations to see a hastily-assembled Swindon Town side take on one of the League One title favourites, writes Danny Hall.
Despite being beaten we came away knowing that the new-look Town had the potential to be formidable.
I still firmly believe that had we been able to keep Nile Ranger – who joined soon after – on the straight and narrow, we would have made the play-offs and won the JPT along the way.
Fast forward to the County Ground on Saturday and the start of a campaign in League One where there are no Wolves and Brentford, and nothing especially frightening in the trio demoted from the Championship nor the quartet coming up from League Two i.e. the division will be easier to win this year.
Unfortunately, Town have signally failed to fill the void left by the departures of Alex Pritchard, Ranger and Troy Archibald-Henville among others; we are diminished by their absence.
What we do have is the core of last year's side in the Nathans – Thompson and Byrne – plus super-keeper Wes Foderingham and arguably two of the best midfielders in the division, Massimo Luongo and Yaser Kasim, who were the architects of Swindon's 3-1 victory over newly-promoted Scunthorpe on Saturday.
Iraqi international Kasim was good in the first half – in the second he ran the show as if guesting from the Premiership.
Give yourself a treat and get along to watch Kasim sometime – he is usually worth the £25 entrance money on his own.
So the midfield is fine – until both Luongo and Kasim are tempted away to play in the Asian Cup in January for Australia and Iraq respectively, but what of the defence and attack?
Having gone 2-0 up in 12 minutes with some delightful football, we then tried to self destruct and the makeshift back three of Josh Lelan, Jordan Turnbull and captain Nathan Thompson could quite easily have let in six goals before half-time.
The simple expedient of hitting a long ball at our new 5ft 9in central defender led to the goal that put Scunny back in the game. Why the visitors did not persevere with this tactic, I don't know.
And each cross which came in caused panic in our ranks. Only poor finishing, fine saves from Foderingham and rank bad luck for the visitors stopped it from becoming a little embarrassing. Then our third goal against the run of play right on the break killed off the opposition.
The sooner centre back Jack Stephens arrives back from Southampton on loan the better. We know his huge capabilities from last season.
Apart from understandably being out-jumped in the build-up to their goal, I thought Thompson was excellent, Jordan Turnbull showed potential but this jury is out on Lelan.
Liverpool's Brad Smith, while not having quite the same success down the flanks as his opposite number Byrne, grew as the game went on.
But I remain convinced that perming any two from three up front with Michael Smith (despite his two tap-in goals), Andy Williams and midfielder Ben Gladwin is not the way forward.
We desperately need a striker who can consistently unsettle defences – and, of course, they don't come cheap.
Until we find that player the main reason for going to the County Ground will be to see an artist like Kasim at work.

Greenbuilders: Taking on Health and the Built Environment
It's great to be back at Greenbuild!
Through this year's agenda, USGBC is courageously leading a rapidly emerging conversation in our industry: How can the places we build and operate contribute to the health and wellbeing of the people who work and live there. It makes sense, right? We spend about 90 percent of our time indoors, so it follows that our homes, offices, and schools would have a profound impact on us.
It's an important point of inflection for our market and our movement. Historically, sustainability has focused on the impact that buildings have on our climate and environment. Bringing wellness into the conversation adds a new emphasis on the individual, and opens up the field for research and development.
As Paul Scialla, the founder of Delos, also points out, bringing wellness into real estate also merges the largest asset class in the world (real estate) with the fastest growing industry in the world (health and wellness), creating an enormous opportunity for purpose-focused innovation and growth.
Delos is defining wellness real estate through their work with scientists and physicians at leading research institutions such as Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic. The evidence-based standard they're pioneering – the WELL Building Standard® – will give the industry a performance benchmark for contributing to occupant health, from lighting and air quality to materials and monitoring. Very importantly, it works in harmony with LEED, building on USGBC's commitment and leadership.
So the next time you see a beautiful architectural photo of an empty building, imagine all the people who actually work or live there every day – little kids at school, aging parents enjoying retirement, and all of us on the job. If there are ten ways, or if there are one hundred ways, we can build and operate those buildings to enhance our health and wellbeing, it's worth at least a look.
Michelle Moore recently joined Delos as a strategic advisor following four years leading sustainability and infrastructure policy in the Obama White House. Previously, she served as Senior Vice President with USGBC. [Michelle is a member of Groundswell's Advisory Council, and a Senior Fellow with the Council on Competitiveness.]

The 21 Ultimate Vegan Taco and Guacamole Recipes
Ready your tortillas and sync up your salsa—World Vegan Taco Day is here.
After the whirlwind success of Vegan Pizza Day, you may feel like there's nothing left to look forward to in 2012 (besides the heavy partying that will accompany the potential demise of human existence, or whatever). But you're wrong! Hark, this weekend we celebrated none other than Worldwide Vegan Taco Day, a celebration of all of the spicy, tomato-dicey, cheesy, beany excellence that our collective brainpower can come up with and our mouths can chomp down on. Additionally, we would like to use this day of recognition to honor the essential BFF of tacos: guacamole, the avocado-based love of our lives. Here's to you, tacos and guac: you enrich our lives so.
Taco Time
You've had tacos. We've had tacos. And even if you've never had a vegan taco, you can probably imagine its contents. Some conjugation of beans, rice, lettuce, tomato, and perhaps onions, faux meat, dairy-free cheese, and/or sour cream inevitably represents the most popular vegan taco arrangement. But we're ready to turn your world upside down. First, let's start with a slight spin on the classic vegan taco: Black Bean Tacos with Cilantro-Infused Tortillas. We understand that cilantro can be a divisive herb, but for those of us who are fans of its unique tang, these tacos are a slam dunk, and they're insanely easy to prepare (and eat). Or, try Vegan Tempeh Tacos with Avocado-Lime Crema, with a kick derived from vegan pepperjack cheese and barbecue seasoning.
Looking for more unique international flair? The best thing about tacos is the simplicity with which one can customize their fillings with as much flair as you can dollop on. For a hint of India, try Barbecue Eggplant Tacos with a fresh peach-lime chutney and fennel slaw, or for a more Southeast Asian spin, feast on Thai Lemongrass Tofu Tacos with Lime-Sriracha Aioli and Basil-Cucumber Salsa. Have you ever tried using jackfruit as a substitute for meat? If not, now's the time, as its texture is very reminiscent of stewed chicken or pork (but tastier, since it's plant-based!), and it absorbs spices and seasonings to perfection. For example, Thai "Pulled Pork" Tacos combine spicy lemongrass, lime, and chili-spiced jackfruit with cabbage slaw and homemade salsa for a fresh, crisp, savory handheld meal. Other veggie devotees will be wooed by Chipotle Cauliflower Tacos, which give cauliflower's wholesome white buds a spicy makeover (but don't worry, mango-lime salsa keeps it cool).
Ready for some next-level inventiveness on your taco front? Good, because it's Vegan Taco Day and ambivalence will not be tolerated. Do you like buffalo wings? Would you like to stuff them into a delicious taco? Us too! Thankfully, food blog Spices and Spackle has concocted a mouthwatering recipe for Vegan Buffalo Tacos, marinating thick slices of tempeh in classic Frank's Red Hot sauce and balancing the heat with a cooling avocado-corn salsa. Speaking of salsas, while fruit salsas may be all the rage, up your sweetness with Terry Hope Romero's Strawberry Chipotle Sausage Kale Tacos (ready to get weird?), a surprisingly harmonious combination of our favorite berry, spice, and dark leafy green all in one compact culinary package. Vegan tacos are full of surprises, though—have you ever seen even a non-vegan Spaghetti Taco? Yeah, we hadn't either, but we're totally on board.
There are two very special outliers in the vegan taco category. The first, 6-Layer Taco Pie, does not adhere to the taco's traditional tortilla-wrapped format, but is nonetheless a grand and inspired creation worthy of being replicated in your kitchen (and probably wholly consumed in one sitting). The second is a truly luscious take on taco's cousin, the mighty enchilada. Angela of Oh She Glows appears to have devised an excellent version of vegan enchiladas filled with sweet potato, black bean, spinach, and peppers, and generously doused in a decadent cilantro-avocado cream sauce. We'll take a dozen!
Guacs That Rock
Behind every great taco there is a great guacamole (we're pretty sure that Einstein or Napoleon or John F. Kennedy coined this phrase). But seriously though, guacamole elevates pretty much anything with its cool, creamy quality. Never made guacamole before? Don't worry, all it necessitates is a little bit of chopping, smushing, and mixing. We love this recipe from blog Crepes of Wrath, which subs shallots instead of the requisite white onion for an extra touch of sharp sweetness. For a different dining experience from the same ingredients, whip up Deconstructed Guacamole Salad with Cumin-Lime Vinaigrette, which is essentially a less guilt-provoking way of eating forkfuls of guac. For another variation that only requires a prep switch, give Grilled Guacamole a shot—a little bit of blackening on the jalapeño, avocado, and onion adds a deep, smoky flavor to your delectable dip without needing any bonus seasoning. However, when you're ready for some mix-ins, there are plenty to be had. Pea Guacamole is a lower-fat take that still delivers on flavor, and Holy Moly Healthy Guacamole has a surprise base ingredient—white beans! You can even boost your guac's protein punch with Tofu Guacamole or Quinoa Guacamole Salad. Rounding out the crazy guacamole fest, we have Pineapple Guacamole and Green Apple Guacamole—a touch of fruit-based sweetness can totally take a dip to the next level. And finally, whilst considering what crispy vehicles to use to transport these many guacs into your mouth, consider Avocado Fries or Guacamole Taco Rolls. Because as with tacos you can never be too crazy, with avocado, you can never be too meta.

I usually sleep enough. Sometimes on days off I get extra sleep. I take vitamins. Eat pretty healthy. I don't have a thyroid problem or diabetes. Just wondered if anybody has a clue why I'm so tired and how can I change. My doctor doesn't even know :-/

The list of Americans who have met North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un begins and ends with Dennis Rodman, a documentary crew, and various members of the Harlem Globetrotters. As a part of a documentary put together by New York-based Vice Media, the eclectic crew was not only granted entry into the reclusive country, but also wined and dined by the basketball-loving Kim. Details can be read here, but to really appreciate this oddity of an event, one must listen to Rodman's first-hand account given to ABC's George Stephanopoulos on This Week.
"He loves basketball. … I said Obama loves basketball. Let's start there… He asked me to give Obama something to say and do one thing. He wants Obama to do one thing, call him."
Some stories are too weird to be a smartass about. Seriously, consider all of the random parties involved: Dennis freaking Rodman! The Harlem Globetrotters! The most combustable country on the planet! If The Worm is going to be the bridge that connects North Korea with the rest of the world, more power to him. I'm sure there have been odder stories to surface since the calendar turned. I just can't think of any right now.

Chinatown Coffee (475 H Street NW) opens for business on Monday June 26th at 7am. To learn more about this new independent coffee retailer visit the thread of PQLiving and their facebook page. For insights direct from the man behind the coffee read the article in today's Washingtonpost that was authored by Nick Cho.
I visited and really like having any new shop in the neighborhood; however, the day that I went, there were(3) male employees there who were SUCH LOUD chatty Cathys! They WOULD NOT stop talking!!! I did not find the experience relaxing and I finally took the book I was trying to read and went elsewhere. STOP talking and do some work, so we, the customers, can relax and enjoy your new shop in our neighborhood!
