Exactly what it says. Go to vzwpix.com, or verizonwireless.com, Pictures and Messages, My Online album, and log in to ensure that your pictures and sounds you may have uploaded will still be available. If you don't remember setting up an account, and don't remember a password, it can be sent to your phone via text message.
You likely sent some photos to your online album a few months ago....

Do you have a account set up with MyVerizon, with your phone number and your own username? If not, then set that up - if you are a secondary line on the account you will have limited or no access to information on the other lines, but will have your own Pix Place and access to your contacts if you use Backup Assistant, plus information about your media downloads and apps.

Breaking down barriers
Local couple faces challenge of providing themselves with a barrier-free home
Sunday, Dec 30, 2012 06:00 am
Joel and Amanda Kleine love their present home and they love St. Albert but they both fervently hope that this will be the last winter they spend here. They are building a brand new barrier-free home in Edmonton that they hope to move into next summer.
�When we bought our house in Forest Lawn, we were going to fix it up and live here forever. But it�s not barrier free. We need a barrier-free home,� Amanda said.
Six years ago Joel, a teacher, was diagnosed with Friedreich�s ataxia, which is a rare, genetically inherited disease that affects his strength, his energy, and worst of all, his mobility. Presently there is no cure and there is no therapy available for this disease, and it means that Joel, 38, must alternate between using a walker and a wheelchair. Those tools help him with balance and walking, but they also mean that much of his own home is inaccessible to him.
�People tell me, �that�s not such a big thing,� but imagine if you couldn�t go to rooms in your own house,� he said.
Over the past few years the Kleines have participated in many fundraisers in support of research for Friedreich�s ataxia. Together with fellow church members at St. Albert Christian Reformed Church, they have raised close to $25,000 for that cause. This past December a different fundraiser took place at the church to help the Kleines with the costs for their new home.
At the Sweet Home Sweet concert Dec. 14, Joel � who plays guitar � joined forces with fellow musicians Remco Dalmaijer, Esther Vanderwel, Duane Krikke and Paul Jensen. As of press time, it was not yet known how much money was raised for the Kleine�s new house, but construction will begin in the new year.
The Kleine�s present house is close to being mortgage free so at first the couple considered having it renovated. The cost was prohibitive and was estimated to cost in excess of $100,000.
�Renovating compared to buying new is increasingly more expensive and the ability to recover those costs is difficult,� explained architect Ron Wickman, who specializes in designing homes that are barrier free.
�It�s not a nice swap, where you can easily compare costs in a retrofit and costs in a new home. To make an older house accessible after the fact means in most cases you widen bathrooms by giving up a bedroom, or two bedrooms, or you have to build onto the house,� he said.
Stairs to both the Kleine�s front door and to the attached garage would have to be removed.
The Kleines began searching for a home, but found that most new homes are not barrier free.
�We looked in St. Albert but couldn�t find a home modified for our needs. There are homes for older seniors, but we have two boys � eight and six years old,� Amanda said.
The Kleines� friend, Dan Wildeboer of Draw Draw Draw Designs, drew up a plan that included all their wishes for a new home and put them in touch with Celebration Homes.
�There will not be a single room he cannot get into. Even the closets will be accessible and light switches will be lowered,� said Randy Ettinger of Celebration Homes.
The kitchen will have two sinks: one that�s lowered for Joel and one at regular height for the rest of the family.
Sinking the house to make doorways level with the ground was tricky, but much easier at the building stage than it would be at the renovation stage, Ettinger explained.
�All the wood has to be buried and so to protect it we have to seal it. The trade-off is the basement windows are smaller, but there is a big walk-out sliding door that provides light,� Ettinger said.
The new house will be larger than their present home.
�We�re gaining 600 square feet, but 200 of those are in the bathroom. We will also have wider hallways. It�s not a mansion. It�s a matter of better use of space,� Joel said.
Joel worries about the toll his disability has taken on his family, especially on Amanda, and he wants his home to be beautiful for her.
�We need a house that works for the boys and works for Amanda and we need a place that�s safer for me,� he said.
As Joel contemplates that new house, it�s the thought of the walkout basement leading to a yard that brings the biggest smile to his face.
�I haven�t been out in my own backyard and I haven�t felt the grass for three years,� he said. �Now I can feel the grass again.�

4 Secret Ways to Use Social Media to Grow Your Business
Social media is now an established part of marketing for business. Many brands are following the best practices and have determined the value social media has in growing their business. But what if there was a couple of techniques that could help grow your business that you didn't know about? Below are four 'secret' ways to maximize your social media success.
Facebook: Many don't realize this, but there are three types of groups available in Facebook; open, closed, and secret. Only members can read and post content in secret groups, as it is completely confidential. Activity is not shared among friends of the participants. These specific groups are not often utilized for business, but can be. Secret groups can be used internally, as a place for employees or smaller business teams to work together, chat, and share documents. Externally, secret groups can be set up for top clients or customers to share the latest company news, products, and services. Additionally, the secret group can serve as a platform for employees and customers to collaborate – give feedback, share new ideas, and discuss future ideas.
Foursquare: While Foursquare may not be as widely used as Facebook and Twitter, it is recognized as an incredible business tool. Companies with a physical location are able to reap the benefits of location-based social media by claiming a venue and offering discounts to their customers. However, brands without physical locations can also benefit from Foursquare through a partnership with another location-based business. For example, a coffee company could partner with a café to offer a special pairing of a drink and pastry. This tactic will help spread brand awareness for both businesses and give coffee-lovers an incentive to try a new place and product.
Twitter: The original use of hashtags was to categorize tweets and help them show up through Twitter Search. Hashtags can also help increase brand awareness, customer acquisition, and sales through a tactic we call hashtag hunting. It is not uncommon for Twitter users to ask questions about products or a request advice about a potential purchase. For instance, if you are a shoe manufacturer, and someone tweets asking for suggestions when shopping for shoes, you should be listening and prepared to direct them to your brand. To do this, set up a search that monitors relevant hashtags and don't be afraid to reach out to potential customers when they ask the twittersphere for recommendations. This type of hashtag search is a standard feature of most social media management tools like Hootsuite or Sprout Social.
Instagram: This social sharing platform is popular for sharing photos between brands and their loyal customers. The traditional method of using Instagram for business usually involves a company posting pictures of products, employees, and action from behind the scenes. Then they hope their postings elicit a "like" or comment from their followers. However, there is a better way to be engaging. Ask fans to share photos with a brand-relevant hashtag. Encourage your social media savvy costumers to post pictures of your products using hashtags. Then, pick a few favorites to repost, while giving credit to the original photographer. This strategy helps create more of balanced, two-way conversation between brands and fans.
Have you heard of any of these strategies before? Which would you want to try first? Let us know in the comments section below!

Braham boys basketball kept on its roll in the Great River with two more wins this past week, locking in at least a share of the program's 10th-straight conference championship. In doing so, the Bombers extended their GRC win streak to 55 games, with three more to go this season.
On Friday night, the Bombers ran past visiting Pine City 71-39. Chris Olson came off the bench to hit consecutive three-pointers which put his team ahead to stay at 10-7. In a half where the Bombers didn't shoot that well, Shaun Hollenkamp helped keep the lead by pounding the offensive boards well and driving.
The pesky Dragons hung around, however, as soph guard Mitch Hansmann nailed four '3s' to keep the lead down to single digits. But the second half mirrored the teams' first meeting back in early January when Pine City could not match the Bombers' energy and were limited to 15 points over the final 18 minutes.
Olson finished with four three-pointers to lead the scorers with 18 points. Zach Dahlman came on strong in the second half to score 16, and Hollenkamp closed with 11 points and a team-high 8 rebounds. John Larson dropped in 13 points and dished 8 assists, and Connor Tschumper added 11 points and 5 rebounds.
• On Feb. 12, the Bombers clinched the share of the GRC crown by romping to a 97-57 win at Aitkin. Dahlman hit 8-of-12 from the field to lead the team with 21 points, along with grabbing 8 rebounds and 4 steals. Larson sunk four '3s' amid his 19 points and found guys for 7 more assists. Olson scored 18, and Hollenkamp chipped in 12 points and 5 steals. Sam Stigen also dished 7 assists to go with his 4 points, and Tschumper finished with 9 points and 7 rebounds.

Braham Girls will host Isle Feb. 19 for GRC title
The Braham girls, holding on to the No. 4 spot in the Class AA rankings, stayed perfect at 22-0 with two more conference wins this past week.
On Feb. 7, the Bombers did not allow a made field goal until the second half when they defeated Pine City 76-14. Braham then took care of visiting Aitkin 91-37 on Feb. 12.
After a Feb. 16 matinee game at Hibbing, the Bombers will host Isle Feb. 19 in an effort to take the Great River title outright from the Huskies.

text: Institutional investors such as hedge funds typically have access to more sophisticated market information than main street traders, so their buying and selling activity are closely monitored by the investment community. For this list we looked for hedge fund selling as a sign that rallying stocks are ready for downside. To support this assumption, we further looked for companies with significant increase in shares shorted to their otherwise low short float. More on this list: Rallying: These stocks have been doing very well lately. Their current share price is above their 20, 50 and 200 day moving averages (MA). This signals upward momentum. Low short floats: Short sellers benefit when a share price falls, a high short float indicates short sellers are increasing their "short" position in anticipation of a drop off. But, in line with the stock's upward rally, the stocks in our list have short floats. We screened for floats between 0% and 10%, an optimistic range. But what goes up will eventually come down. So we looked for signals the glory days are over. Hedge Fund sales: Net institutional sales in excess of 5% of share float in the current quarter. This indicates money mangers are pessimistic about future performance. Increase in short selling: As mentioned above, an increase in shares shorted (and increase in share float) is a pessimistic signal. When short sellers start buying into these rallying stocks it enforces the idea that the market believes downside is more likely than further upside. We screened for an increase in short selling month over month representing at least 1% of share float. Seven companies made the cut. Business Section: The List Hedge funds and an increasing number of short sellers are signaling an end of a rally for these names. Do you agree with their bearish predictions? Use this list as a starting point for your own analysis.

I love how the Fandroids yell crap to this phone. But the same Fandroids will brag about how many phones Samsung sells every quarter compared to Apple. A good portion of Samsung's sales are low end phones like this every quarter.
14. iushnt (Posts: 2261; Member since: 06 Feb 2013)
They sell much more than combined sales of the other top 4 smart phone OEMs. Even if 50% - 70% may be low end to mid range phones, the remaing 30% is still much much more..And what is challenging for them is to sell a very good numbers of S and Note series and create Apple level branding despite of diluting the Galaxy brand name with many crap phones and canabilizing their own flagships sales with mid-ranger. I bet if Samsung had only flagships it would have much higher brand value for its Galaxy and would not be cannabilized by its own Mid-rangers
17. sinple (Posts: 132; Member since: 04 Nov 2011)
its the 80/20 rule in supply chain. s5 and note 3 will be their 80% of sales while the rest are samsung's 20% of sales, which needs much more effort to grab.

Well that was a crap editing in PA, well anyway. In Emerging countries, there is no such thing called 'contract', yet there is a lot of people that can only spend a max of $50 on a phone. Of course since it's an Android, it can snatch some sales from that market.
21. xche78x (Posts: 101; Member since: 11 Mar 2014)
here in asia, samsung budget phones are losing to China ODM phones which uses quicker mediatek processors, better displays, larger battery and cheaper prices.... even lenovo or alcatel is having a hard sell granted they are priced lower than samsung's... this model will compete with android phones having mtk6572 dual core soc, 4-inch wvga, unlocked dual sim dual standby, 2-4gb storage and a tantalizing 45-68$ price.... the current budget champion has mtk6582 1.3ghz quad core, 720p 5inch ips, 4gb storage, decent 8 megapixel bsi back cam, 2 megapixel front, dual sim, msd slot and design similar to iphone 5C for only $113 ^_^ called myphone rio... the nokia x which is a brand favorite here failed miserably due to its high price $135 and unfriendly GUI...

From The Outset - Poem by Hasmukh Amathalal
It may be known from the outset
Whether it is artificial or preset
Until it is given human touch
It may have same fate as such
Until you feel not safe and secured
Until you don't feel pain endured
Such things may emerge in mind
We all writers must certainly probe deeply and find
What we write for public consumption?
It is not wholly bases on assumption
It is linked to the ripples rising in soul
It is not wild cry in night by owl
Pure word jugglery may not help at all
It is responded purely to inner call
The thoughts in mind and try to reveal
There is no use to force or to conceal
Artificial flowers may not have fragrance
They may look good but won't appeal even at once
Real flowers may be open with full boom
Mind is well opened with enough of room
I shall present the poetry with full touch
It must contain human feelings and pain as such
Not based on imaginary lines but on real facts
Where people are committed to behave with acts
I will neatly orange views in orderly ways
My inner songs should be aligned with hope rays
It must light other souls to synchronize with trend
Then only it may look as if refined with amends

Earlier today, Harry Morgan passed away from pneumonia complications at the age of 96.
Born Harry Bratsberg in 1915, he eventually took on the stage name, Henry "Harry" Morgan and later simply Harry Morgan over the course of an acting career that lasted for sixty years.
Morgan appeared in well over 50 films, including classics like "High Noon," "Inherit The Wind," "The Ox-Bow Incident," "How the West Was Won" and "The Shootist" alongside stars like John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Elvis Pressley and Henry Fonda among several others.
On television, Morgan costarred as Joe Friday's partner, Officer Bill Gannon on "Dragnet," in addition to roles in "December Bride," "Blacke's Magic" and "3rd Rock from the Sun." But Morgan was best known for his portrayal of Colonel Sherman T. Potter, an iconic character from the TV series " M*A*S*H." Morgan joined the cast in the fourth season and remained until the end of the show's eleven season run; winning an Emmy for the role in 1980. Morgan also reprised his role on the short-lived spinoff series, "AfterMASH."
Morgan also directed eight episodes of "M*A*S*H" and two episodes of "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour." In his later years, Morgan made guest appearances on "Grace Under Fire" and "The Jeff Foxworthy Show."
Crave Online expresses our condolences and best wishes to Morgan's family, friends and fans around the world.

CMME (Content Management Made Easy) is a Web content management system that aims to be easy to use, doesn't have many requirements, and is still reasonably flexible. It doesn't need a database, doesn't have extensive administrative needs, and works more or less like a wiki. New pages can be made on the fly, rather than through an administrative page.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in util.php with newer versions of PHP5. CMME has been upgraded from xinha 0.95 to xinha 0.96.1.
Fimex is a the File Interpolation, Manipulation, and EXtraction library for gridded geospatial data. It converts between different, extensible data formats (currently netcdf, NcML, grib1/2, metgm, wdb, and felt). It enables you to change the projection and interpolation of scalar and vector grids. It makes it possible to subset the gridded data and to extract only parts of the files. For simple usage, Fimex also comes with the command line program fimex.
Release Notes: This release adds the possiblity to join files by directory scan or directly mentioning them in ncml-files. It is now also possible to read other filetypes than netcdf through ncml. The vector-rotation has been improved and will now automatically detect vectors by CF standard_names. The grib-writer is now able to write data in the lambert conformal conic projection.
Verbiste is a French conjugation system implemented as a C++ library, a GNOME applet, and two command-line tools. It can conjugate verbs and analyze conjugated verbs to determine their mode, tense, and person. The knowledge base contains over 6700 verbs.
Release Notes: The user can now pass a verb as an argument to the graphical programs to make them display an initial conjugation.
BalanceNG is a modern, IPv6 capable software IP load balancing solution. It is small, fast, and easy to use and set up. It offers session persistence, different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Weighted Random, Least Session, Least Bandwidth, Hash, Agent, and Randomized Agent) and a customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It supports VRRP to set up high availability configurations on multiple nodes. It supports SNMP, integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD. It implements a very fast in-memory IP-to-location database, allowing powerful location-based server load-balancing.
Release Notes: A new multithreading scheduler has been implemented (activated by "set multithreading 1"). The new directive "interface N threads" controls the number of threads per interface (if the multithreading scheduler is active). A new informational command "show threads" shows thread information (if multithreading is activated). A minor bug has been fixed, server "-1" is no longer reported when there's no 1:1 server/target relationship. A new module "crossover" allows the implementation of a virtual crossover cable (Linux only). The manual has been updated accordingly.
m23 is a software deployment system for Debian GNU/Linux that allows you to install and administrate hundreds of clients via network.

Aspose.Diagram is a class library for working with MS Visio files. It is a pure .NET alternative for MS Visio Object Model. It enables developers to work with VSD and VDX files on ASP.NET Web applications, Web services, and desktop applications. It makes use of the advanced functionality of Visio's services to manipulate Visio documents on a server. A developer can open files and manipulate the elements of the diagram, from lines and fills to more complex elements, and then export to native Visio formats or XML.
Release Notes: This version will allow you to resize the shape height and width. The connector line automatically adjusts when the shape is moved to a different position. Changing height and width of the shape is enhanced. During VSD to PNG conversion, shapes and rectangles missing with .NET Framework 3.5.0 is now fixed, and Aspose.Diagram now allows the connectors to move around the child shape when it is moved.
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Release Notes: Compilation without the FFTW library is now supported again.
Pride combines bash scripts, zenity, ant, ImageMagick, and the Android tools to create a fast and simple POSIX alternative for Android development. It provides all the basic commands (clean, build, release, etc.) of other Android IDEs. But it is primarily a robust and simple injection framework. Injections from methods to clusters of activities are easily created from existing code and can then be injected into any project. Pride can also be used to batch build, load, or release multiple projects and can update class and resource files among projects that use the same objects or resources.
Release Notes: Changes were made to themes.xml in the plate for Android 8 compatibility. A default launcher icon was added to the project plate.
HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, Lua integration, output in various formats as well as runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.
Release Notes: This is mainly a QA release with a lot of bugfixes resulting from fuzzy tests. Therefore, it is a recommended update. It contains the possibility for vector-based output plugins.
aime is a simple, C-like programming language and an interpreter, both designed to be embeddable in applications. The language is straightforward, trivial, and direct. Its syntax is simpler than that of C, while still providing for full object management, higher order functions, and references. The interpreter is secure and expressive, allowing comprehensive control over program execution and providing powerful methods of application integration.
Release Notes: The -object- type is now allowed for function return.
Knotter is a highly configurable interlace designer. Interlace patterns are a kind of design historically used as a decorations in many places and by different cultures (some examples are Celtic knotworks and Islamic interlaces). Knotter aims to allow its user to design such patterns in an intuitive way and to provide easy ways to integrate the result into external general-purpose graphic software. For this purpose, designs created within Knotter can be saved in a custom human-readable format and exported as Scalable Vector Graphics and in a wide number of raster image formats.
Release Notes: This release adds mostly bugfixes. New features include brush patterns and a customizable background color for image exporting.
Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct descendant of any other programming language.
Release Notes: The support for K&R C has been removed. Now an ANSI C compiler is required to compile Seed7. The manual and documentation comments have been improved. The functions min and max have been added to bigint.s7i, bigrat.s7i, and rational.s7i. Rational addition and subtraction operators have been improved to reduce the result. The parse operator in bigrat.s7i has been improved to process negative rational literals correctly. A standard bitmap font, with capital height of 8, has been defined in the library stdfont8.s7i. The program ftp7.sd7 has been improved to allow linewise editing with history.
libxmp is a module player library which supports many mainstream and obscure module formats, including Protracker MOD, Scream Tracker III S3M, and Impulse Tracker IT. Possible applications for libxmp include standalone module players, module player plugins for other players, module information extractors, background music replayers for games and other applications, module-to-mp3 converters, etc.
Release Notes: This release fixes an array initialization in the IT loader. It also contains refactored and optimized code, and it can now be built using Visual C.
The Extended Module Player is a command-line mod player for Unix-like systems that plays over 90 mainstream and obscure module formats from Amiga, Atari, Acorn, Apple IIgs, C64, and PC, including Protracker (MOD), Scream Tracker 3 (S3M), Fast Tracker II (XM), and Impulse Tracker (IT) files.
Release Notes: This release can be built using Visual C, and does not require a C++ compiler when building on a non-BeOS platform.
Mylene is a command line MPEG audio player. It can play plain and system embedded MPEG audio streams and works for Linux OSS and ALSA emulated OSS and Mac OS X. The player can be used interactively by telling it to establish a UNIX or INET server on which commands can be received. It features sophisticated song selection filters, the ability to interpret programs written in a C-like programming language and user formatted text output among others. The seek-h262 MPEG decoder is required for audio and system MPEG decoding.
Release Notes: The dependencies are updated. A new function available for the interpreted programs allows song selection filtering.
Geany is a small C editor using GTK2 with basic features of an integrated development environment. It features syntax highlighting, code completion, call tips, many supported filetypes (including C, Java, PHP, HTML, DocBook, Perl, LateX, and Bash), and symbol lists.
Release Notes: This minor releas fixes two specific, but important issues with the 1.23 release: tab coloring on KDE and opening of files from the commandline on Windows.
Snowbox is a small and easy-to-set-up POP3 server. It supports APOP, SSL, and IPv6.
Release Notes: This release fixes a problem with spaces in passwords, fixes a crash in the TOP command, and adds improved mailbox file locking, among other, smaller improvements.
4MLinux is a miniature Linux distribution focusing on four capabilities: maintenance (by using it as a system rescue live CD), multimedia (for example, for playing video DVDs), miniserver (using the inetd daemon), and mystery (meaning console games).
Release Notes: The main features in this release are maintenance (4MLinux Backup Scripts 6.1 and Clam AntiVirus 0.97.8), multimedia (MPlayer SVN-36169-4.7.2 and FFmpeg Git-2013-04-09), a mini server (FTP, HTTP, SSH, SFTP, and Telnet), and mystery (a collection of small Linux games). The X Window System is based on X.Org Server 1.14.0, Mesa 9.0.3, JWM 2.1.0, and the FOX toolkit 1.6.49. Both Ethernet (including WiFi) and dialup (including fast USB modems) networking are supported. The size of the ISO image is about 45 MB.
etm is an acronym for Event and Task Manager. It provides a simple, intuitive format for using plain text files to store event, task, and other data items, a command line interface for viewing stored information in a variety of convenient ways, and a cross-platform, PyQt-based GUI for creating and modifying items as well as viewing them. Displayed items can be grouped by date, context, keyword, or project and can be filtered in various ways. A display of busy and free times is also supported, as is a ledger view of time spent that is suitable for client billing. Alarms are supported for events and repetition for both events and tasks in a powerful and flexible manner.
Release Notes: This release adds German translations of menu items, tool tips, and the like.
Plumi is a video sharing content management system based on Plone. It enables you to create your own sophisticated video sharing site. By adding it to an existing Plone instance you can quickly have a wide array of functionality to facilitate video distribution and community creation.
Release Notes: This is a stable production-ready release, including big improvements in the UI and the backend. Major changes in 4.5 centered around creation of a new Plumi skin using Diazo, replacing gunicorn with uwsgi, implementation of the Amara subtitling engine, and adding a video upload progress bar. Other improvements include: removing views/downloads from iframe for embedding, an update to the latest mediaelement.js, fixing of fullscreen playback, numerous improvements to the new Plumi skin, a re-ordered user menu, removal of the callouts folder, and improved video upload stability.
An application for managing Corosync/Heartbeat, Pacemaker, and DRBD-based clusters.

How to Kiss With Your Eyes Open
You've probably already had your fill of indie emo guys slobbering all over you. Just kidding, who can get enough? Converse, makers of the sneakers for at least 50% of the guys you dated in college, have just released KissingwithRoss.com, an "Average Joe" style ad campaign, but his makin' out is above average. He gets right up on the lense and goes for it, tongue and all. Okay, so usually when we're licking someone's face, we close our eyes, but Ross is giving us a reason to keep our peepers open.

In a victory for clean air, the US Supreme Court today upheld the authority of the EPA to set smog and soot standards. The court's ruling came in a case filed by industry groups that argued the Clean Air Act is unconstitutional and that clean air standards must be based on consideration of compliance costs. Whitman v. American Trucking Assns., S.Ct. No. 99-1257 (2/27/01).
"The Supreme Court has upheld the Clean Air Act's central mandate to protect the public health against pollution that kills tens of thousands of people each year," said Howard Fox of Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund, which represented American Lung Association in the case. "Industry's attempt to dilute public health protection has met with a resounding defeat. The Supreme Court's decision vindicates what then-Governor Christine Todd Whitman said in her brief: industry's argument was not only meritless, but 'borders on the wholly frivolous.'"
At issue in the case were 1997 national air quality standards for particles (soot) and ozone (smog) -- standards which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates will each year prevent thousands of premature deaths, tens of thousands of hospitalizations and other illnesses for respiratory and cardiovascular causes, and millions of days of missed work and school.
The 1997 standards were challenged by industry and three states, and in 1999 the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Clean Air Act as interpreted by EPA represents an unconstitutional delegation of Congress's legislative authority. American Lung Association, represented by Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund, intervened to oppose the industry and state challenges, and -- along with several states including California, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Jersey, among others -- filed briefs in support of EPA's appeal to the Supreme Court.
Today the Supreme Court unanimously rejected industry's constitutional argument. "The Court confirmed that Congress didn't violate the Constitution when it directed EPA to set air quality standards that 'protect the public health,' and EPA didn't violate it by setting standards that better protect Americans from death, hospitalization, and illness," said Fox.
The Court also rejected industry's counter-attack, which challenged EPA's thirty-year old practice of basing air quality standards on public health, and leaving compliance costs to be considered later, when the standards are implemented: "Industry has repeatedly tried to persuade Congress to amend the Act to allow cost-benefit analysis, but Congress has refused," said Fox. "The Supreme Court correctly rejected industry's attempt to obtain from the unelected judiciary what it has been unable to obtain from the elected members of Congress."
One issue -- specifically, the timetable for meeting the new ozone standard -- was sent back to EPA for further consideration. Importantly, the Court did not accept industry's argument that EPA could not implement the new ozone standard at all, but merely ruled that the agency has to develop a "reasonable" approach for doing so.
The Supreme Court's decision is available at http://supct.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/99-1257.ZS.html.

LA PORTE, Texas - A La Porte teenager is shook up after police said a man tried to get her in his car on Friday at around 1p.m.
The teen's mother said the stranger was standing in front of his black truck that was parked near the 100 block of South 1st Street and West A Street in La Porte.
"She said, 'No,' and he said, 'No come to my house,' and she said no again. She started walking and immediately got on her cell phone and called me," said Mindy, the victim's mother.
Minday says the man then got in his truck and followed her 16-year-old daughter. She said it's a good thing her daughter didn't walk home.
"She came to my work instead of going home so that the person wouldn't follow her to her house," said Mindy.
When Mindy heard what happened to her daughter she called 911. Police showed up and searched for the man but couldn't find him.
Mindy is now counting her blessings, fortunate that her daughter is OK. She hopes parents will talk to their kids about what to do if approached by a stranger before it's too late.
"Know the area. Know where you can go. Know the safe places, anywhere where there's a lot of people, convenient stores, boutiques, restaurants," she said.
Since this incident on Friday afternoon, La Porte police said there have been no other reports. They are urging the public if they see something suspicious to say something and report it to police.
The teen has a very vague description of the man, he's Hispanic with bushy eyebrows and a short haircut, in his late 30s and was last seen wearing a red t-shirt and blue jeans. She said he was driving a black truck.
If you think you've seen the suspect in this story call Crime Stoppers at (713)-222-TIPS.

Nowhere Nice by Rick Gavin
In Rick Gavin's latest Nowhere Nice crazy meth dealer Guy Boudrot has escaped from prison. Guy was a major villain in Gavin's previous work and of course he is out for revenge on every person he thinks had a hand in putting him in prison. Repo workers Nick and Desmond know they are on Boudrot's list and they run around trying to warn everyone else who was involved the last time while also trying to stay alive themselves. Nick and Desmond are also interested in hunting down Boudrot because by the time the police catch up with him, too many people will be hurt or dead. They can't get very many people interested in helping them out until Boudrot kills one of his target's coonhounds and then everyone wants to help-there are people in this world who might deserve to die but you just don't kill someone's dog. The problem with everyone's help though is that most of it is pretty incompetent. This is another funny, violent romp through the Mississippi Delta from Gavin. Love his books.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (Sep. 11)
Israel denied today Syrian charges that she was "expelling by force" Syrian civilians from occupied Syrian territory, and said the question of the return of civilian evacuees to Israeli-held territory was a question for Israeli-Syrian negotiation.
Ambassador Gideon Rafael, Israel's permanent representative to the U.N. told the Secretary-General that the majority of the inhabitants of the area had been evacuated by the Syrian authorities in the course of the fighting there, apparently for military considerations. "Many of these people have been in the direct employ of the Syrian army, whose camps, bases and extensive fortifications and installations had been the predominant administrative and economic factor in the area," he said. He also challenged the accuracy of the figures used in the Syrian complaint.


text: EBITDAX (non-GAAP) for fourth quarter 2012 was $20.6 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $22.8 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for fourth quarter 2011. See "Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial and Other Measures" below for our reconciliation of EBITDAX to net (loss) income.Average realized commodity prices for fourth quarter 2012, before the effect of commodity derivatives, were $78.27 per Bbl of oil, $30.27 per Bbl of NGLs and $3.22 per Mcf of natural gas, compared to $85.56 per Bbl of oil, $51.71 per Bbl of NGLs and $3.19 per Mcf of natural gas for fourth quarter 2011. Our average realized price, including the effect of commodity derivatives, was $44.50 per Boe for fourth quarter 2012, down 12% compared to $50.63 per Boe for fourth quarter 2011. Lease operating expenses increased in fourth quarter 2012 compared to fourth quarter 2011 primarily due to higher workover, compression, water hauling, well repair and maintenance expenses. We expect lease operating expense per Boe to decrease in 2013 due to cost savings from our new infrastructure projects and higher production. Production and ad valorem taxes increased due to our increase in oil, NGL and gas sales. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher share-based compensation as well as salaries and benefits, a result of increased staffing. Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to higher production and oil and gas property carrying costs, relative to estimated proved developed reserves. Higher oil and gas property carrying costs primarily reflect our development of our oil-focused Wolfcamp shale play. 2012 Estimated Proved Reserves Year-end 2012 proved reserves totaled 95.5 MMBoe, up 24% from year-end 2011 proved reserves of 77.0 MMBoe.

Watch SAGU football live on Saturday at 2pm
Lions (3-4) plays at Wayland Baptist (0-7)
Available Coverage: Video, Audio, LiveStats and FM Radio
PLAINVIEW, Texas -- Saturday's Central State Football League game between Southwestern Assemblies of God University and host Wayland Baptist University could follow a similar pattern as their first meeting a year ago.
In that game, a 58-37 win by the first year Pioneers, also played at the 8,000 seat Greg Sherwood Memorial Bulldog Stadium (pictured below, right), offense ruled. The game was tied late in the third quarter, 30-30.
The Lions, riding the momentum of last week's 42-35 triumph over Oklahoma Panhandle State University, can balance their record at 4-4 with a win.
Wayland sports a winless mark in seven outings. After a bye week, they're eager to turn the tables on the Lions.
Fans have several options for following the action; live video, audio and LiveStats (digital play by play). Plus, KKYN 106.9FM will carry the game on live radio.
Take your pick from: http://www.wbuathletics.com/schedule.aspx?path=football
While the Lions average 23.3 points per game, comparing favorably to the Pioneers' 18.4. However, the hosts hold a slight advantage in total offense, 331 yards to 322 for SAGU.
The offensive breakdown shows the strengths of both:
Yards Rushing Per Game: SAGU leads the CSFL at 184.6, WBU is fifth at 120.1
Passing Yards Per Game: WBU is third at 211.1, SAGU is last at 138.0
Turnovers: WBU 24 (11 fumbles, 13 interceptions), SAGU 19 (13 / 6)
Penalties: The teams are the least penalized in the CSFL; SAGU 61 ypg, WBU 63
3rd Down Conversion: SAGU leads the CSFL at 43%; WBU is last at 22%
Offensive Players to Watch
Sophomore running back Kendall Robertson (6'0, 210) heads the league in rushing with 795 yards (132 ypg). He picks up 6.3 per carry, eleven of them ending with the officials raising their arms.
SAGU remembers him well. He busted loose for 157 yards and five TD's rushing. He scored a sixth on a 66 yard pass.
Wayland has utilized a pair of QB's; 6'2 freshman Josh Houghtaling (143-63-5, 4 TD) and 5'11 sophomore Braden Hudson (114-56-6, 2 TD).
The Pioneers' top receiver is 5'11 Chris Acosta (27 receptions, 12.4 ypc, 0 TD). Robertson comes out of the backfield (17, 8.8, 1 TD), while Josh Bailey, a 5'10 WR, has been active of late (14, 8.6, 0 TD).
Three other players have reached double figures in receptions, led by Brendan Pegg (10, 15.7, 3 TD).
The cog in the wheel for SAGU is senior QB Reid Golson (Grandview, Tx / Grandview, Howard Payne Univ). He is atop the CSFL in total offense by averaging 204 per game (532 rushing / 897 passing).
He has completed 54% of his throws for nine TD's. He has just six picks.
Supporting Golson are three backs; Troy Griffin (Houston, Tx / Texas A&M Commerce) (348 yds, 4.6 per carry, 4 TDs), James Hopkins (Ferris, Tx / Ferris HS, NW Okla State) (262, 3.9, 3) and Carvon Culton (Dallas, Tx / Molina HS) (67, 3.7).
SAGU's leading receivers are Dylan Moore (Denton, Tx / Guyer HS), who has 15 (2 TDs), and three others with 14 apiece; Jeremy McDonald (San Antonio, Tx / Cornerstone Christian), Trevor McKinley (Arlington, Tx / Juan Seguin HS) and Venique Benton (Waxahachie, Tx / Waxahachie HS).
Tight End Caleb Shelley (Cold Spring, Tx / Cold Spring HS) has come on in recent weeks. He has 11 grabs, two for TDs.
Defensively is where the Lions have the potential to experience the upper hand. The numbers reveal some contrast:
Total Defense: SAGU is third, allowing 383 ypg. WBU is last at 529.1.
Scoring Defense: SAGU permits 28.1, WBU 40.7
Rushing Defense: SAGU is fourth in the CSFL, yielding 186 ypg, WBU is fifth at 192
Passing Defense: SAGU is best, surrendering 198. Wayland is last at 337.
Sacks: WBU has 17.5, SAGU has four
Takeaways: WBU has 16 (7 fumbles recovered, 9 INT), SAGU has 12 (7 / 5)
Opponents on Third Down: Wayland is fourth at 39%, SAGU fifth at 44%
Defensive Players to Watch
Wayland, who alternate from three to four down linemen, has three of the league's top six tacklers. Their top two are linebackers; Jon-Lucas Poe (11.0 tpg) and Tyler Smith (10.1).
The Lions leaders at making stops are also LB's; senior Kendal Evers (Danbury, Tx / Danbury HS) and sophomore Jeremiah Maat (Slidell, La / Slidell HS). They rank #4 and #5 in the CSFL at 8.3 and 8.0 tackles per contest.
Safety Dylan Snyder (Ennis, Tx / Ennis HS), senior defensive tackle D.J. Johnson (Detroit, Mich / Springfield Parkview HS) and senior defensive end Ike Caston (Dallas, Tx / A+ Academy) average 6.6, 6.4 and 5.7, all rank in the league's Top 20.
A complete review of the game, including statistics and action photos, will be posted on Sunday.

WASHINGTON (Jul. 27)
The United States will finance a tourist promotion project in Israel, it was made known today. Israel has been seeking assistance on this project to develop its tourism for two years.
Today Albert E. Earwell, chief of the Near Eastern Division of the International Cooperation Administration, told the House Appropriations Committee that $30,000 from a technical aid sum of $1,600,000 designated for Israel has been earmarked for the Tourist Corporation of Israel. The money will aid Israel to develop its tourist industry which is increasing its role as a dollar-earner. The remainder of the technical assistance will be used for various other purposes.

Former Buffalo Sabres enforcer Rob Ray is about to enter the hot dog business.
Ray told the Springville Journal he and business partner Mark Mohr are set to open a hot dog stand in Springville that will incorporate the Rayzor's nickname. They've acquired a former gas station and are working on renovating it inside and out over the winter.
Ray lives in the more populous Buffalo suburb of Amherst, but he chose Springville – population 4,596 – but said a combination of cost and atmosphere led them to creating a small-town eatery on South Cascade Drive:
"We were kind of looking at everything. We're always trying to bust our brain on something that would be successful and work as a business. We do a lot of hunting and fishing and see a lot of different places along the way, and different things catch your eye. It always came back to this."
Ray said the business will serve char-broiled hot dogs and custard and will sport a Sabres theme, as it sports a blue and gold color scheme. It should open by spring.
And why hot dogs?
"No matter how much people promote health, everybody reverts to the hot dog," Ray told the Buffalo News. "It's just a food that everybody can't get enough of."
Ray played for the Sabres from 1989-2003, serving as assistant captain. He owned a night club called Rayzor's on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo during his playing days. He has been part of the team's broadcast team for several years and will become the main color commentator in 2012-13.
Springville is south of Buffalo, on the southern border of Erie County.

Patricia Minish is an artist, mother, grandmother and wife, but most of all she is an ambassador of glittering good will. While her fans may know her as the creative genius behind Patricia Minish Design – the glittering custom cake toppers, party hats and keepsakes for weddings, birthdays and special events – they might be surprised to learn how much love goes into each piece.
"Sometimes when I am creating a piece, a little story begins in my mind and the piece becomes a diorama of sorts," Minish said. Each assemblage is composed of carefully glued and glittered layers. They are all exquisitely crafted and original. The glitter is made of glass imported from Germany. All papers and laces are meticulously hand-cut and hand-tinted. Hours of work go into each custom-made piece. Her enchanting one-of-a-kind designs are handcrafted with originality and whimsical artistry.
Currently living in Tucson, Minish's goal to create art to lift the human spirit started in Washington State's charming Port Townsend. A ferry ride away from Seattle, visitors flock to see gabled and turn of the century homes perched on hills overlooking Puget Sound. Inspired by the pioneer spirit of the Victorian seaport, and maybe just a touch of revolt against the gray skies, Minish started teaching and making 3-D art pieces that have evolved into her trademark.
Drenched in glitter, the boxes and cake toppers appeared in local baker's windows. Soon Seattle's vaunted Trophy Cupcakes started using her pieces in window displays and customers started asking how they could buy a bit of that magic.
Once her website was up, word spread and Minish realized her dining room table production site needed an upgrade. Soon a studio was built to house her supplies, but her sparkle would not take a back seat to convention. Plastic bins and modern office equipment gave way to antique compotes, sugar bowls and jars filled with glitter. Storage turned to inspiration in her display. "I love the sparkle of German glass glitter. It resembles decorative tinted sugar or is silver-plated, naturally tarnishing to a vintage luster," Minish said.
But sometimes a spot so removed from the city can be lonely. Her two daughters grew up and away. With the advent of four grandchildren, Minish decided to pull up roots and move to Tucson near one of her children. Now an extra bedroom in her new home has been transformed into glitter central, but not without remorse. "I miss my studio so much," Minish said.
She and her husband Jim were able to make the move thanks to the growing popularity of her work well outside the confines of Washington State. Spread almost completely by word of mouth, her creations are shipped worldwide. Each is a work of art with a piece of her heart firmly attached.
"I love creating pieces that are delicate, timeless, sometimes whimsical and bring a smile to your face. I love working with clients and capturing their vision for a special piece that will hold a heartfelt memory for them," Minish said.
Patricia's family is proud of her for sticking to her dream despite the sometimes-rocky path that led to her success. But it was the love for her family and her work that often kept her going and she hopes her pieces do the same for others.
"I love vintage things with a story and a memory attached. I also love the twinkling sparkle that makes each piece so ethereal as if touched by magic. I think glitter runs through my veins."
You can find Patricia Minish on Etsy, Pinterest and at patriciaminishdesigns.com
Please enjoy, and thank you for visiting!

Min-T Websiteolafviking (7 pencils) | Thu, 2013-01-10 12:22
I'm trying to design something for my website.
I'm trying to improve my creativity here, because I don't feel like i'm a designer. My formation is 100% Development.
My firm is about creating website, so mine have to be attractive.
Is it a decent design ? Tell me what you think, even if you think it's bullshit, no problem ;-)
Thank you guys
Commenting on this Image will be automatically closed on March 7, 2013.
Wouldn't say it's "bullshit" - but I see some problems. I don't like the opposing eyebrows at the top and I don't understand the wheat photo.

The only thing with having navigation in corners like that is the layout looks fairly small as is. It might occupy 40% of that aspect ratio, what happens when it's put on a true widescreen monitor that pushes the corners to the outermost edges? Then you have your audience possibly not noticing them, and if they do a long mouse drag to get there. The easier you make a website to use this more someone will want to use it.
The theme's are very conflicting here and it's hard to follow from a design perspective. While it can be done, you typically don't have flat vector and illustrative design right beside dominant photography. It looks odd, I'd push one or the other really.
As an afterthought as well, because the layout occupies so little of the space, is there a reason that you want to separate the contact information rather than possibly incorporate a little contact form at the bottom? Splash pages are a bit 90s, other than your name and a tidbit about your business you run the page isn't serving any other purpose.

I see a bland wheat field and a graphic that I thought, at first, was a wooden or plastic spoon with a human face on it. Closer up, I see it's supposed to be a man -- you, I suppose. I can tell you that wearing sunglasses can make you seem like you're hiding, which is not a positive image for you. Perhaps that's a cultural thing, but I've always heard that.
I like that you're trying something different from the usual navigation buttons, but I can see a down side to that as well. Many of the people who might hire you might not like it, for a variety of possible reasons. Do you want to draw so much attention to this unusual feature, or would you rather visitors to the site were struck by how fast and easily they can navigate your site, and how polished it looks?
Wheat field? Why?

"what happens when it's put on a true widescreen monitor that pushes the corners to the outermost edges?
thats why you design your page with a fixed width and center it - bucking the BS web2.0 trend of making your page horizontally fill the screen.

Yes/ no. I really think that responsive web design is something that should be taken into consideration to make sure that everyone gets a proper experience. With that said, a well done responsive layout should look the same on every monitor in proportion. Not gigantic and not tiny, it's all about brand continuity. Easier said than done and that requires a lot of extra work. SO! If it's static we have to consider -> will the eyebrow idea still look good floating with sharp edges in the middle of the background? Will the background itself work on all devices and most resolutions?
Many a reason to either love or hate web design. Challenges :)

i think a lot of this is pseudo-intellectual buzz-word logic that marketing people throw around to validate their invoices. which is hard for me to say because historically, i am one of those people.
to a certain degree i agree with the idea of responsive design but too many times what i see is it limiting or changing the intended presentation. for the most part, a well designed page will represent fine on a variety of devices. maybe the user has to zoom or scroll. but if that leaves my design intact as intended, i'm fine with that.
just because i have a 30" monitor on the desk does not mean that the browser window is always maximized or that whatever im viewing has to fill that window.

I think we should come up with a synonym for responsive so we don't sound so damn trendy over the purpose of it. The problem is the same with some parents looking for electronics for their kid. They hear of this "new thing", have no idea what it does but demand it from their business partners all the same. I do see your point and honestly responsive web design is so rarely done right that I've started to hate it from a design standpoint. I'd rather pinch to zoom on almost all websites with responsive, however I do come across a few usually from designers/ web designers that look really cool under a mobile platform with the same desktop elements thoughtfully organized.
I have a 32" so you could probably relate seeing websites at fullscreen at times that are either less than 50% of screen occupation (sometimes with a horrid background that takes up the rest), and even worse left aligned. Centered layouts (web template itself, not justification) are frankly my favourite because at least I don't need to crane my head and stare at one side of my monitor. It always makes me feel like it's going to tip it.

Okay guyz, I want to thank you all first.
This was very helpful. I take away the wheat field.
The man with his tie is me, that's right. I'm not enough experimented to draw the eyes, it was too difficult so I chosse facility here I have to admit.
The navigation is not very handy.
I'm working on it.
Will post the result soon. Again thank you all !

My issue with this is my eye is all over the place, there's no focal point or grounding anchor to "start" reading from. French is still read left to right, that's how I personally like my websites. Everything is floating in purgatory rather than neatly gridded. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the elements are very nice looking but the layout is my huge issue here.

I like the way we discuss these things.
We live at post pc era. Some reading standards are over.
The programmer could detect the orientation of the browser and distribute the cards vertically or horizontally. Avoid "cover flow" style, invent something different.

I like the feel of it overall but I'm not sure what the point of the little icons are. For instance what does a chair have to do with applications and websites? It looks like the little icons are talking and the big text areas are in text bubbles, is that what you were going for?
I think the sunglasses on the guy look OK, kinda 70's retro, and I don't read into it "hiding" at all.

+1, I didn't actually mention the icons because I was more focused on layout but totally right. Unfortunately for icons we have to use cliche nostalgic items for symbols rather than current items/ trends for wider acceptance. ie. floppy discs for saving- when was the last time one of those fellas was used (mainstream).

I've heard all your comments.
Thank you again, those was very helpful. I'm working on something new and more reliable.

I like the new central focus. Nice. Fun, but not childish -- although it took me a while to realize there were navigation buttons way up at the top of the page. I still hate the sunglasses. The most important thing, though, is that your portfolio section is a nightmare to navigate.

how is it a "nightmare" to navigate? seems pretty straightforward to me. now i DONT like that the whole thing is linear. i'd rather be able to go to the one i want rather than having to page trough every single entry... but i'd call that more an inconvenience than a nightmare.
i dont generally care at all for animated navigation. but this is well handled (expect for the linear part) and it work on iOS!

Why is your own logo in the portfolio section at all - much less twice? I think people will assume you designed your own logo.
