GSA Assists USDA With Recovery Act Modernization Effort
$500 million technology award will aid producers, ranchers and farmers.
March 29, 2010
Contact: Robert Lesino, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON — The U.S. General Services Administration Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) today competitively awarded SRA International, Inc., of Fairfax, Virginia a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) against GSA's federal supply schedule 70 contract for enterprise resource planning tools.
The award assists an important GSA customer, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with its mandate to use Recovery Act funds to modernize agency program systems over the next seven years. GSA's award makes it possible for the USDA to improve the delivery of agricultural services and benefits by using modern, secure and reliable technology.
The USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) will be one of the first agencies to use the BPA to support this modernization process which will make the delivery of agricultural services and benefits more efficient. This BPA will streamline farm program business processes, rapidly implement new farm programs, transition current programs to modern reliable technology platforms and improve access and convenience for producers, ranchers and farmers.
FEDSIM has been achieving success for federal agencies' large complex technical projects since 1972. FEDSIM provides award-wining solutions over a project's entire life cycle of planning, acquisition and post-award engagement.
More information about the USDA modernization project can be found at the USDA Web site: www.fsa.usda.gov
Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than 11 percent of the government's total procurement dollars and $24 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
- GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
- GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? GSA manages the federal relay contract which provides nationwide telecommunications relay service for the hearing and/or speech impaired?

Law & Human Behavior, Vol. 7, p. 103, 1983
14 Pages Posted: 26 Jun 2009 Last revised: 11 Aug 2009
Date Written: 1983
Recent years have witnessed an increase in interest in professional regulation. The extent to which the professions should control professional regulation and the provision of professional services is the issue at stake. The strengthening of societal forces and attitudes on either side has intensified matters. Forces on the side of professional dominance include tradition, expertise, and politics. Opposed are individual liberty and individualism, theories of free enterprise, and egalitarianism. The controversy has also been influenced by recent political developments involving the emergence of two antiregulatory movements: the "control" movement, and the "antigovernment" movement. The former involves an attempt to control government regulatory power. The latter is a more broad-based political attack on regulation aimed at less government in general. The most significant impact of the current controversy is that professional regulation has become an important public issue.

Stolen wheelchair returned with apology note
ROSEBURG, Ore. -- Roseburg police say a wheelchair stolen from a home on Walnut Street was returned Wednesday, complete with an apology note.
On Monday, Roseburg police asked for help from the public in locating a wheelchair that was stolen from a young boy who suffers from cerebral palsy.
Police say there was an outpouring of support from several local businesses and citizens who wanted to help the family of young Brandon.
On Wednesday, the Brandon's grandmother called and reported that the wheelchair had been returned.
The family went outside and found the wheelchair at the end of the driveway, with a handwritten note attached.
The note was an apology from the suspect for stealing the wheelchair, and police say the family thinks it was written by a juvenile.
Rachel Kerstetter, Brandon's mother, says she doesn't bear a grudge against whoever stole her son's wheelchair.
She's just grateful it was returned. "We're not upset. We're thankful that they were nice enough to give it back, that, we just hope they they learned a lesson," she said.
While the chair went missing, the community came together offering to fundraise to get a new one for Brandon.
Patrice Kerstetter, Brandon's grandmother, says that just goes to show that there is still good in the world. "We all need to know that there's still good out there," she said. "So, from this being stolen and so many people reaching out, it's been awesome to know that people really are still human and they're out there."
Now that the chair has been returned, it might not be the victims that may have learned the biggest lesson. "People willing to stand up and say they made a mistake, that's important," said Patrice. "This is what it's about: standing up and doing what's right."
The Roseburg Police Department would also like to thank the community for their support and generous offers.

Danny Boyle plays fast and loose with reality in "Trance," a lurid, propulsive, twisty and trippy thriller about an amnesiac man who gets hypnotized in order to remember where he has hidden a stolen, multimillion-dollar painting. You're never quite sure whether what you're seeing is actually happening or merely the result of a character's post-hypnotic suggestion. Like "Inception," a film with which it bears obvious similarities, it's premised on the mind's ability to fool itself.
That's one of the film's pleasures. Three others are the main cast.
James McAvoy plays Simon, an employee of an art auction house who, after a blow to the head, forgets what he has done with a canvas he's helping a gang of criminals steal. Vincent Cassel plays Franck, the suave yet ruthless mobster who will stop at nothing to get the painting. And Rosario Dawson plays Elizabeth, the opportunistic hypnotherapist Franck hires to unlock Simon's unconscious. That's after Franck's unsuccessful attempt to jog Simon's memory by having his goons pull out Simon's fingernails.
Yes, "Trance" is surprisingly, even unnecessarily, violent, as it escalates toward a grisly climax. There's also a scene of startlingly graphic nudity.
That one, at least, is essential, seeing as Simon's knowledge of the fine points of, er, female grooming trends in art history is a key plot point. Let's just say that you will come out of this movie knowing nearly as much about the topography of Dawson's naked body as her ex-boyfriend, Boyle, probably does. It's hot, but also a little voyeuristic.
What's nicest about McAvoy, Cassel and Dawson is that none of them plays a wholly sympathetic — or wholly unsympathetic — character. Of the three, McAvoy probably has to stretch the most, playing a gambling addict with a history of drug use (and other misbehaviors it would not be nice to reveal, for spoiler reasons). That shows, as he never looks totally comfortable here.
Cassel, however, was born to play sexy, debonair bad guys. Dawson surprises in her role, which allows Elizabeth to have the upper hand for much of the film, as a woman who can make men do what she wants with the snap of her fingers. One scene features Elizabeth attempting to put Franck and his gang (Danny Sapani, Matt Cross and Wahab Sheikh) under hypnosis, to intriguing effect. The movie's greatest kicks come from watching the three protagonists vie to maintain their leverage — through sex, hypnosis, deception, willpower and, inevitably, the barrel of a gun.
There are, however, some problems. Chief among them is the notion that the purloined painting (Francisco de Goya's 1797-1798 "Witches in the Air") would be worth, to a thief, anything close to what it might fetch at open auction. You can't just fence such a famous artwork the way you would stolen silverware. It's too recognizable.
Another problem is the way Boyle, working from a screenplay by Joe Ahearne and John Hodge, unpacks the film's densely interlocking twists and turns of plot. There's a little too much happening in the film's violent, frenetic conclusion, which involves the retrieval of fractured memories, the confession of betrayals and so many narrative loops within loops that the film's big reveals never make perfect, deeply satisfying sense.
Maybe it's not supposed to.
I came away wondering whether the headache I left the theater with was such a bad — or even unintentional — thing after all. In the end, Simon isn't the only one who gets bashed on the head by "Trance."
R. At area theaters. Contains violence and torture, obscenity, sex and nudity. 104 minutes.

It's hard to believe when you see her confident performance on The Newsroom, but Olivia Munn suffers from anxiety so severe that it causes her to pull out her own eyelashes.
"It's called trichotillomania," the actress, 33, told PEOPLE Wednesday at the L'Oreal Women in Digital Awards in N.Y.C. "It's the same thing as people who bite their nails."
PHOTOS: See the under-$10 beauty bargains we're loving this summer!
Munn's condition, which began when she was 26, is triggered by big social situations. "If I were to walk into someone's birthday party, I'd have a bad anxiety attack," she admits, which in turn causes her to start lash-pulling.
Fortunately, the star's experience in the makeup chair has given her the know-how to put together an easy fix. "I just created my own little lash-band with individuals," she says, adding that she has a powder mix that she applies to her eyelids to help the false lashes adhere.
The rest of her beauty routine is simple: relying on "a good lip balm [she likes a Body Shop one] and a hair tie" to beat the summer heat.
And her final beauty must: Showing off her freckles. "I've had them since I can remember … it's just my skin," she tells PEOPLE. "I don't like it when people try to cover them up!"
Tell us: Do you have any beauty struggles like Munn does? How do you deal with them?

What things are a must have when it comes to "Logging"???
Right now, I have a single "Error Log" table which logs the following when there is an error...
- Error Type
- Error Code
- Source Page
- Member ID
- User IP
- User Hostname
- Created On
This seems to work just fine, but now I am wondering if there other things I should be logging, such as...
1.) When Members Log-In2.) When Members Log-Out3.) When People Register4.) What Pages People Visit
And so on...
I guess I am particularly interested in if I should be doing #1 and #2. (Technically I already log #3 in my Errors Log...)
In the end, as website owner, what kinds of things do I need to log to help me manage my website, and to have an audit trail should issues arise?!
Well a lot of what you are logging can already be found in your apache access logs. You might want to log the page referrer if you're interested to see where the user came from to get to that page.
Log the things that will help you debug. If your log is not for debug (arguably then that should be another log) then what is it for? Stats?
Don't you think it would be useful to know when Members log in and log out?
Or what pages they visit?
Or other things that Members do?
Think "forensics"!!
If you're talking forensically just to have a record of what's happening, I've been keeping track of logins/logouts, when records are deleted, when new ones are added, and when they are edited (and by whom).
For example, I might use a blurb like this: user ID 5 (Force) deleted user ID 12 (testuser)
So you support the idea of logging...
Using the word "forensics" suggests you will be going back looking for evidence of crime.
Define why you are logging things and then you will have a better idea of what to log.
The danger of logging everything just because you can is that you end up with log files so huge that they obfuscate important data because of their very size.
You can log to numerous different files, so make sure you name these files very carefully otherwise you will forget what each one is for.
Consider using a proper logging library (PEAR::Log, ZF logging) because then you end up with just single lines of code that you have granular control over at runtime - allowing you to switch logging on and off up set the level of log up or down.
There is another source of logging you should remember is available and that is your database log. There are plenty of options there. General log might be of interest, but could slow you db server.
I just came off a project using SOAP to connect 5 different servers and logging was the only way to figure out what was happening.hence the importance of granular control, ease of access, naming conventions and relevance of data are fresh in my mind.
Don't forget you can also log to a db, sqlite is ideal for this kind of thing (I created an Sqlite driver for PEAR::Log if anyone wants it, shout out).
Once your logging is set up and if you are logging to files, then an hour spent reading about logrotate would be good.
Not to mention logging can also slow down your site; it's one extra query for every action that you log.
It depends.
For the system I described, it handles personal information, so it's a good way to audit who has access to the information.
For just a general website or blog, it's probably not necessary.

May Flowers Cause Pet Allergies
Every May is Allergy Awareness Month. What most people do not know is that allergies are not just limited to humans, pets can develop allergies as well. Unfortunately pets cannot tell you that they have allergies and will rely on their owners to notice the symptoms.
This Spring, as May Flowers littered with pollen and other allergens are in full bloom be sure to watch your pet for signs of irritations. If your dog seems to be sneezing or itching more than often, he or she may have seasonal allergies. This can be confirmed by a vet and medication can be prescribed.
You can also help your pet if they suffer from seasonal allergies by keeping grass and other plants trimmed and even stop plating certain plants if they bother your pet. Putting up garden fencing or blocking pets from certain plants can also be helpful. You can also be sure to give your pets baths regularly to remove any allergens trapped in their fur. Washing their bedding and even outdoor toys often is another great allergen prevention method.
Indoor allergies can also develop, so it's important to dust, vacuum and clean your air vents regularly. You'll also want to refrain from using latex toys, as this is a common allergen, and use detergent and cleaners that are hypo-allergenic.
With these simple tips you and your pet can enjoy the fresh spring air and May Flowers!

We all know that smoking and unprotected sun exposure can age you. But can your makeup techniques be making you look older as well? After noticing that my under-eye concealer was providing a more cakey, wrinkled effect than smooth and clean coverage, I took note.
So, over the next few days, let's delve deeper into what tips you can use to make sure your face is looking fresh, not frumpy. Let's start with the complexion. See what I mean when you
- The finish: When it comes to finishes, pick dewy for a softer look. Matte can come off as dull, accentuating fine lines and wrinkles.
- The intensity: Less is more when it comes to looking fresh-faced. Make it sheer for a subtle coverage, focusing on laying off the foundation.
- Keep it in the zone: Powder can have a tendency to settle in fine lines. If you get oily, powder only your t-zone, and consider blotting papers if you need to absorb any slick spots.
- Conceal with zeal: Try skipping foundation altogether, using spot concealer only where needed. Some makeup artists even recommend avoiding concealer under the eyes, as it can settle into crow's feet and wrinkles. Yves St. Laurent national makeup artist, Dell Ashley suggests applying under-eye concealer to the inner corners of the eyes, along the bridge of the nose, for a brightening, lifting effect.
- Choose wisely: Too-pale foundation can wash you out. When in doubt, go darker and blend.
- Just blush: A peach shade will add warmth and brightness to the face. Apply at a 45-degree angle on the cheek to create an uplifted appearance. Avoid going under cheekbones, which can bring the face down.

Lynn wins third behind big inning; Beltran homers
Cardinals push across four runs with three RBI singles in third
PHILADELPHIA -- Two different kinds of fastballs helped Lance Lynn hold the Phillies to only one hit in seven innings Saturday night. But Lynn's domination began and ended with him not being the same guy he has been all season.
"He just had a whole different demeanor, a whole different disposition," said Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. "We have talked about him going out with an edge, and that's how he pitches the best."
Only John Mayberry's double into the left-field corner to lead off the fifth inning kept Lynn from being any better than he was. He walked only three Phillies and gave into none.
Staked a five-run lead Saturday night, he dominated in the Cardinals' 5-0 triumph, which was different from his performance Tuesday. Handed an 8-1 lead in Pittsburgh after two innings, Lynn nibbled and barely lasted five innings in a 10-6 victory.
"Once we got a big lead, I didn't give them anything to get back into the game," said Lynn. "I am a better pitcher when I am pitching with a little chip on my shoulder. That's who I am and that's who I am going to be. There is a time for it and a time you have to stay within yourself, but that's who they want me to be and that's how I want to be."
Lynn, who came into the game with a 5.40 ERA, had been the only disappointment in the Cardinals rotation to this point of the young season. Challenged both privately and publicly by Matheny to "stop picking," the 25-year-old right-hander resoundingly did just that. The walks Lynn gave up in the first inning to Chase Utley and in the second to Domonic Brown had nothing to do with any failure to challenge.
"I think it was sinking a little more than what he wanted early, especially against the left-handers," Matheny said. "That's an interesting pitch; every time you go out there you don't know how much depth you are going to have, how much horizontal run you are going to have.
"It may be even different from the time you leave the bullpen until you get on the mound. But he had that heavy sinker tonight and he was able to establish that, and it made everything better."
Mayberry hit a four-seam fastball for the double to lead off the fifth, when the Phillies almost went on to have a productive inning. Ben Revere's liner sliced, fortunately for the Cardinals, into Matt Holliday's glove, and center fielder Shane Robinson went to the deepest part of the park to catch Erik Kratz's fly ball. After Lynn blew another four-seamer by pinch-hitter Laynce Nix to end the inning, he started to mix in some two-seamers and resumed dominating.
"When you go through the lineup a few times, it helps to have two different looks with the fastball," Lynn said.
Only one batter -- Brown, who walked -- reached in the sixth and seventh, before Lynn's 107th pitch, a sinker, was beaten into a double play by Mayberry to end the starter's night.
All this steady pounding of the zone was made that much easier by the pounding the Cardinals put on Cliff Lee. The Phillies starter's three third-inning walks caught up to him when Allen Craig, Yadier Molina and David Freese delivered three consecutive RBI singles as the Cardinals built a 4-0 lead.
Carlos Beltran's third home run in three nights -- the sixth time he has done that in his career -- was tattooed deep to left-center in the fifth, giving the Cards a 5-0 lead.
"Carlos is in a very good place right now," said Matheny.
Matheny didn't mean Citizens Bank Park, but Beltran has six home runs and 12 RBIs in his last 13 games at the Phillies' stadium. Regardless of venue, the best place for any Cardinal to be in this early season is in scoring position with two men out. They came into the game hitting .403 in those situations, and they delivered three more times on Saturday.
"The meat of our order has been very disciplined with runners in scoring position," said Matheny. "This was another showing of execution.
"We talk about grinding at-bats. What should be said about our team as a whole is that we fight off the tough pitches and wait for a mistake. Pete Kozma [who started the third with an eight-pitch walk], kept fighting until he got a free pass. And the hits we had that inning came from going where the ball was pitched."
The Phillies, too, pretty much knew what was coming and where. It didn't help them.
"First of all, [Lynn] got all his pitches over the plate," said manager Charlie Manuel. "I thought we had enough left-handed hitters in there that we could score some runs off him. But he did a really good job of keeping the ball down consistently, and he was throwing strikes with his breaking ball. He pitched a good ballgame."

Magmeter Maintenance, Feed-Forward Variations; Robots
What Maintenance Is Required for a Magmeter? And What's the Difference Between "Positional Feed-Forward" and "Incremental Feed-Forward" in PID Control?
This column is moderated by Béla Lipták (http://belaliptakpe.com/), automation and safety consultant, former Chief Instrument Engineer of C&R, former Yale professor of process control, and the editor of the Instrument Engineer's Handbook. If you have automation-related questions for this column, write to email@example.com
Q: Magnetic flowmeters: Is there a term related to a magmeter with respect to measurement of zero flow? What maintenance is required for a magmeter?
William P. Reed
A: DC-pulsed, automatic zeroing, state-of-the art magmeters, (operating on Faraday's law), accurately detect the velocity of conductive fluids (0.5% of actual flow) and have a high turndown ratio, which in dual-range units can reach about 100:1.
Temperature variations and vibration can change the magnetic field. Coating, moisture, coil and electrode deterioration, corrosion or electronics can also cause drift and other errors. Magmeter performance is also subject to process property variations (changes in conductivity, air bubbles, slurries or in the potential in the flowing fluid, etc.) or to corrosion, grounding or cable shield deterioration. Therefore, maintenance is important.
My recommendation is to check (recalibrate) the electronics (transmitter and power supply) monthly by the use of a millivolt simulator (Figure 1). This checks and allows recalibration or rezeroing the electronics. In "smart flowmeters," the magnetic field strength and the electrode resistance can also be checked and compared to their original values automatically. Besides being quick and inexpensive, such verification can also be remotely triggered.
In old flowmeters, it is essential (often required by law) to yearly check the accuracy of the flow tube itself, the millivolts generated by the electrodes (E in Figure 1). This is done by checking the meter reading against that of another flowmeter (such as a clamp-on ultrasonic unit). For higher accuracy recalibration, see Dick Furness's advice below. Naturally, the resulting calibration accuracy will not be better than that of the reference meter. Consequently, if maximum accuracy is desired, the meter should be removed and after checking its condition and maintaining the electrodes, lining, etc., the meter should be recalibrated.
As to zero-flow condition, any signal under no-flow conditions is an error. It is common practice that, at the time of commissioning, the full and empty pipe zero-flow outputs are captured manually and stored, so that during operation these threshold values will trigger alarms. In smart, DC-pulsed automatic zeroing meters, the magnetic field strength is zero between pulses. Therefore, if the electrodes detect any voltage, it is automatically subtracted from the signal voltage as extraneous noise. Such features reduce maintenence cost and improve reliability.
In comparison to such state-of-the-art systems, old installations of conventional magmeters can have very high errors. Last year, as an expert witness, I reviewed a magmeter installation and found that the meter was under-reporting for decades by some 40%, due mostly to uncorrected zero-shift. This condition existed because only the electronics were recalibrated (Figure 1) and the flow tube itself was not removed, checked and recalibrated for decades.
So, while magmeters are good flowmeters, their yearly total maintenance and recalibration is essential.
Béla Lipták
A: I have had a lot of experience with magnetic flowmeters. In the last decade they have become very reliable, and in the lab we have run tests with velocities as low as a few millimeters per second and they record pretty well. As you approach zero flow, errors go first high and then fall to zero. Zero stability is an issue, as electrode ageing and coating do cause offsets as well as a measurement error. This is more noticeable in pipes that are oversized and old. Regular checks of the electronics and periodic verification using both dry calibrators as well as in situ flow assessment is essential.
Here in the U.K., magmeters are assessed rather haphazardly, and the use of insertion probes can lead to bias being introduced where previously there was very little. I also suggest an annual flow check should be the norm rather than the exception. I use two insertion probes in different planes, as well as multiple sets of ultrasonic probes clamped around the pipe, and all of this is done simultaneously. Both profile distortion and swirl can be evaluated, and from this, one can more correctly estimate the bias within the magnetic meter. This changes with time, so this is why periodic tests have to be made. My methods are now accepted by the U.K. Regulator as a bona fide means of verifying in situ. As a result of testing over many years, I know the ageing coefficients of most instruments. In a couple of decades significant errors always ensue.

Try this: Stand with the feet at shoulder width in front of a large mirror or look at somebody standing upright with the same stance. Are the heel, knee and arm pit on the same vertical line? It is very doable with a relaxed x step.
I'd like to hear what Blake has to say about that video. You have great ball of the foot height now which gives the best possible protection against getting the foot stuck in the middle of the pivot. Tremendous progress in there congratulations!
Your running direction was for a mild anny and the arm went in a mild hyzer. The left leg remained bent at the knee at the rip. Look at your follow through distance of the throwing arm and how the thumb points up. The hips and the shoulders not turning much along with the shoulder blade colliding with the back muscles stops you follow through to rough behind you. Compare that to the first top view of a top player slowed down that i thought of:
Markus Källström and Camilla Jernberg are even more extreme.
For more movement range of the arm in the follow through try rotating the arm from the shoulder socket and to a smaller extent elbow counterclockwise very quickly right after the rip. It helps in eliminating one source of OAT although it was not a problem in this throw plane preservation wise. It can be a problem power generation wise. The farther the arm follows through freely without drag the higher the chance of a fullest possible achievable acceleration up to the hit is.

Didn't see a thread for MVP's new mid so thought I'd start one. Here's some videos from the first two days I had to throw them.
It's a very fun disc to throw. Excellent glide and control, and incredibly easy to lock on to straight flights. It's closer to true stable than I was expecting. It holds an anhyzer well, better than the Axis, but doesn't turn quite as much as I thought it would. It can handle a lot of power for how neutral it flies, and even when given some air it doesn't seem to want to stall and fade very far off the line.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, 2012.
Directed by Bill Condon.
Starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Mackenzie Foy, Ashley Greene, Maggie Grace, Michael Sheen, Nikki Reed, Jamie Campbell Bower, Kellan Lutz and Dakota Fanning.
With the birth of Renesmee, and Bella's new life just beginning, the Cullen family gather various vampire covens in preparation for a showdown with the Vulturi.
I thought I might be in a different position than most reviewers. That is to say, I've never hated The Twilight Saga. Though they are hardly the pinnacle of cinema they are harmless, and if you really had an issue with the whole thing, then you don't have to take any notice.
So, without a care I went to a midnight showing with my better half. She has read the books (before the first film might I add) and chatted with me enough about them that I know the difference between the Vulturi and Quileute. I was expecting more of the same melodrama, longing glances and pained expressions.
As prepared as I was though, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 is rather poor.
With all the money that these films have made you would have thought that they would spend some of it on making things look decent, especially for the grand finale. Sadly there are several moments in the film where shoddy CGI completely takes you out of the film.
Newborn Renesmee grows extremely quickly due to her unique parentage, so the likeness of the eventual older Renesmee is placed upon various children. The result is horrific and resulted in laughter and gasps. I personally felt a sense of relief when she grew up and we no longer had such poor work foisted upon us.
The vampire's movement is the other major let down. I don't feel like any of the directors ever got a good handle on portraying their speed, but here it really is terrible. Characters either move in the same vein as The Flash, or we get to see them running normally with scenery whizzing past, which just looks naff.
The wolves are much more convincing, and we are spared a long telepathic wolf pack chat this time round. Thank God. When you add this to a visually much more impressive opening, you wonder how they could have gotten some things so right and others so wrong?
So moving on, does the acting make any of this bearable? Well, if you've seen any of the previous entries (what are you doing here if you haven't?) you can expect more of the same. I don't feel like I can be too disparaging towards anyone though, since there are so many characters introduced that no one gets time to really make anything of their character. Stewart does a decent job of portraying Bella's newfound vampire confidence, with a few amusing lines and in a shock turn of events provides with more than her usual dead-eyed expression. Pattinson gets to pout and look moody; Lautner gets to take his shirt off and the rest of the cast just do enough. Some praise is reserved for Michael Sheen however, who is clearly aware of where he is, and hams it up accordingly. Though he is the main villain of the piece, he adds some levity to an otherwise stodgy affair.
The running time comes in at under 2 hours, but really it could have done with more time to flesh out the large cast. Who cares if the Irish coven gets killed if all I've seen is 10 seconds of them using stereotypes to get across that they are from across the pond?
Poorly written characters are not my biggest issue with the script however.
In typical Hollywood fashion we have a final battle. This one is a stand out however; as we are treated to one of the laziest pieces of writing and cheap shock tactics that I've ever seen. It really did cheapen a lot of what happened, and whilst it elicited many gasps of shock it was ultimately meaningless. This is the single biggest flaw with the film, as not only does it feel extremely hollow, but I know that if I was a fan of the books, I'd be disappointed and possibly quite angry.
Twilight was a decent enough introduction to the world, even though Edward's hair was a bit too crazy. After the bore-fest that was New Moon, the series really picked up with Eclipse and appeared to be carrying on in that vein with Breaking Dawn –Part 1. Like Bella faking breathing to fool her Father into thinking she is still human, Breaking Dawn – Part 2 attempts to use a trashy twist and poor CGI to make us feel something.
Whilst cinema goers worldwide rejoice at the (possible) end of the franchise, I'm left wondering at what point Billy Condon etc. stopped caring. Having never been offended by these films and even having enjoyed them at times, I can't help but feel for those to whom this was more important.

• Adult dogs over 6 months: $100.00
• Puppies under 6 months: $125.00
• All Dogs and Cats over 5 years old: $50.00
(All puppies under 6 months require mandatory obedience, which is a $50.00 deposit. Upon completion of a training course, and providing us with a copy of the certificate, this deposit will be refunded. You will have 90 days from the time of adoption to complete a training course at the location of your choice. Select older dogs may require it as well. This is NOT included in the original adoption price.)
We require 2 visits to be made before allowing an animal to be adopted. Your first official visit occurs when you fill out and turn in the adoption application. Your second visit must happen within 48 hours of the first, but not the same day. We reserve the right to require more than 2 visits. You may take an application with you to fill out, but your application is not official until it is submitted to the staff at the front desk.
Adopters living in Butler County adopting a dog will be required to purchase a dog license. All dogs 3 months and over require a license. Licenses are $6.95 for a spayed/neutered dog, and $8.95 for an unspayed/unneutered dog. Any dog you currently own must have a current dog license. If you do not have a current license you may purchase one for your current dog at the time of adoption.
If you are under 21 years of age you cannot meet any pet out of the cage or fill out adoption papers for any animal unless accompanied by a parent or guardian.
All current pets, dogs or cats, must have a current rabies vaccine administered by a veterinarian.
Adopters who are interested in adopting a dog and already have a dog(s) at home must bring it/them into the shelter to meet the new dog before an adoption can take place. All dogs must have proof of rabies vaccination administered by a vet before an introduction can take place. We can call your vet or you can provide a rabies certificate but tags alone are not sufficient proof of a current rabies vaccine.
Adopters who are renting will need to bring a lease showing they are allowed to have a pet, and we need to speak to the landlord and get their approval for the adoption.
All members of the household must come in to meet the animal. Some exceptions may be made at the discretion of BCHS staff with adults who cannot make it into the shelter to meet the animal. Under no circumstances do we adopt out pets as gifts.
No animal adopted from the BCHS will be an outdoor animal. This is stated in the contract. We have a right to make one or more home visits within 6 months of the adoption.
Adopters who are interested in declawing need to choose a cat that is already declawed or a kitten 4 months old or younger to ensure they will have time to get them to the vet at the appropriate age for declawing.
We are unable to adopt to college students living in dorms or multiple student housing such as fraternities/sororities and rental units.
Thank You!

The Illinois State Genealogical Society is looking for a new Education Committee chairman to start ASAP. The ideal person should have a passion for helping genealogists and family historians learn new things to make their research journey more exciting and successful.
While the committee does a variety of things, the immediate concern is taking over the webinar program for the remaining 2014 schedule and working to build the 2015 schedule. Managing the webinars requires about two hours per month (this includes the one hour for hosting the actual webinar).
We would also like to see the committee grow. In addition to the webinars, this committee either writes or solicits articles of an educational nature for the ISGS blog. There are other projects the committee would like to implement down the road including educational presentations/videos focusing on various Illinois research facilities. We have a list of ideas that perhaps a new chair and their committee members would like to take and run with to grow this portion of ISGS.
If you are interested in serving as chair, or on the committee in general, please contact current chair, Julie Tarr at email@example.com.

Why does my toddler get so many colds?
One reason that toddlers get a lot of colds is that their immune systems are still immature, making them more vulnerable to illness. After all, more than 200 different viruses cause the common cold and your child can develop immunity to only one of them at a time. Think of all the colds you've had in your lifetime. Your child would have to get all of those – and more – to be immune to all cold viruses.
As your toddler grows, she's likely to be exploring a lot and touching (and licking!) everything, so it's easy for her to pick up a cold virus on her hands. Then all she has to do is put her fingers in her mouth or nose or rub her eyes, and the virus will get a chance to set up shop.
Your toddler may get sick more often during the fall and winter months because cold air and indoor heating dry out her nasal membranes, making it easier for a cold virus to get a foothold there. She also spends more time during cold weather cooped up indoors, where viruses can spread more easily from one person to another.
Most children average between six and ten colds per year. In families with children in daycare or school, the number of colds can reach 12 per year! (The average adult gets two to four colds annually.)
How can I tell if my toddler has a cold and not the flu or some other illness, or even allergies?
It can be tricky to tell. If your toddler has a cold, he might have a runny nose with clear mucus that may thicken and turn gray or yellow or green over the next week or so. He might have a cough and congestion or a low-grade fever. (Chances are the congestion and cough will show up before the fever.)
On the other hand, if your child is running a higher fever or also has diarrhea or vomiting, it's more likely to be some other viral illness. If your toddler is running a fever, watch him when his fever comes down. If he plays and eats normally (or almost normally – he might eat a bit less and drag a little), then it's probably a cold. If he acts ill even when his temperature drops, though, he may have something more serious than a cold.
Itchy, watery eyes and nose are hallmarks of an allergy, as are repeated sneezing attacks and itchy skin that lasts for weeks or months. Also, the mucus coming out of your child's nose will continue to run clear, rather than thickening and turning yellow or green as it tends to in children with colds. Allergies won't cause your child to run a fever, and they tend to show up in the spring, summer, and early fall.
How should I treat my toddler's cold?
No medicine will make a virus go away faster, but you can help your toddler feel better and prevent the infection from getting worse by making sure she gets plenty of rest and liquids. Since most children don't master nose blowing until about age 4, here are a few ways to help ease her congestion:
- Use saline and suction. It's not worth struggling over, but if your toddler tolerates it, tip his head back and squeeze over-the-counter saline (salt water) drops into his nostrils to loosen up the mucus. Then suction out the liquid and mucus a few minutes later with a rubber syringe or nasal aspirator. Apply petroleum jelly to the outside of your toddler's nostrils to reduce irritation. (Don't use nasal sprays on your child unless his doctor says it's okay. They may work temporarily but can cause a rebound effect in which the congestion gets worse with continued use.)
- Moisten the air. Use a humidifier or a cool-mist vaporizer to moisten the air in her room. Or take your toddler into the bathroom with you, turn on the hot water, close the door, and sit in the steamy room for about 15 minutes. A warm bath can accomplish the same thing.
- Elevate your child's head. Raise the head of your child's mattress by a few inches. Put a crib wedge or a towel under the end of the mattress. Never use pillows to prop up your toddler as they create a risk of suffocation. And don't put anything under the legs of the crib, which could make it unstable.
For more safe ways to soothe your child's symptoms, see our article on home remedies that really help.
Is it okay to give my toddler over-the-counter cold (OTC) medicine?
Most experts say no. The American Academy of Pediatrics advises doctors to tell their patients that OTC cough and cold medicines aren't effective in children younger than 6 and can sometimes have dangerous side effects. You may want to ask your child's doctor what she suggests.
Keep in mind that cough and cold medications won't shorten the course of your child's cold or prevent further complications such as ear infections or sinus infections.
If your toddler is feverish and uncomfortable, you may want to give him acetaminophen or ibuprofen, making sure to give him the correct dose for his age and weight.
Never give your child aspirin as it makes him more susceptible to Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially fatal disease.
What natural or alternative treatments can help relieve my child's cold symptoms?
Adding a few drops of menthol, eucalyptus, or pine oil to a vaporizer or bath may help your toddler feel less congested, says Kathi Kemper, professor of pediatrics, public health sciences, and family medicine at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and author of The Holistic Pediatrician. (You can get these oils at most natural food stores.) A spoonful of honey or a weak, lukewarm solution of chamomile tea can also be soothing.
For more great ideas, see our complete article on safe home remedies for children.
A word of warning: Never use the Chinese herb ma huang, also known as ephedra or ephedrine, an herbal decongestant. Its potency can vary widely, and the Food and Drug Administration has linked it to bad reactions in adults, including high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, seizures, heart attack, and stroke.

Bob's Red Mill is proud to introduce pearl couscous, also known as Israeli couscous, to our line of entrée items. Pearl couscous is made from toasted wheat flour that has been rolled into small pearls. This type of couscous is much larger than Moroccan couscous and is similar in taste and texture to pasta. Contrary to popular belief, couscous is considered to be pasta not grain.
Our new pearl couscous comes in three varieties—natural (unflavored), whole wheat and tricolor. The tricolor is made using spinach powder and tomato powder to produce lovely green and red hues that are mixed with the natural pearl couscous. The color is really the only difference between the tricolor and the natural. There is no flavor or nutritional difference. Whole wheat has the nutty, full-bodied flavor you expect from whole wheat pasta. All three cook in less than 20 minutes and make a great addition to soups, salads and pilafs.
There are so many wonderful ways to dress up these special pastas! You can add a simple pesto or marinara sauce for a quick dish or take a culinary adventure and use a recipe with Indian or Middle Eastern flavors. We have a few recipes on our website, but a quick search on the internet delivers myriad ways to use this simple ingredient. If you have a favorite recipe, we'd love if you would share it with us. Simply visit our site and select "Contact Us" to submit your recipe.
Now for the juicy bit! I'd like to give 5 lucky winners a package of Whole Wheat Pearl Couscous and a package of Tricolor Pearl Couscous.
How to win:
All you need to do to enter is post a link to a recipe using pearl (Israeli) couscous that appeals to you in the comment section and tell us what makes it sounds delicious. For example (and you can't use this one!):
Here is a link to a recipe using pearl couscous to make a pesto salad. This sounds good to me because I LOVE pesto and it looks quick and easy. http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes_detail.php?rid=1883
I will select five winners randomly from all those who comment by midnight on 05/06/11. Winners will be announced by 05/12/11.

Wiltshire Council's £70 million campus project is at the forefront of the government's plans for a Big Society, according to a leading Conservative minister.
Dorset MP and minister of state at the cabinet office Oliver Letwin visited County Hall in Trowbridge today to hear how the council was restructuring its facilities.
Along with prospective Chippenham parliamentary candidate Michelle Donelan he met council leader Jane Scott, who discussed plans for the 18 new campuses the council was building.
He said: "It is very exciting.
"It seems to be it's not just a question of bringing things together, though that itself is very useful, but there is clearly huge scope for efficiencies and savings, as well as improving the services the council offers.
"What is really exciting is it sounds like the beginning of a whole new model."
Plans are currently under way to construct campuses in all 18 of the county's 'community areas', with the first part of Corsham's due to open in June, and construction work expected to start shortly in Melksham.
The campuses will provide council services like libraries and sports facilities, as well as offer a new base for Wiltshire Police's neighbourhood policing teams.
Councillor Scott said: "In June we will open a brand new community facility in Corsham which will increase library and youth facilities, and we've had interest from the hospice movement in working there.
"I also want the youngster that goes for the free swimming to come in and say 'I have never been to a library', and mum to say 'there is pilates here, I want to do a bit of that', so people get a lot more use of it.
"If we as the public sector invest in a community it does raise the morale of that community. It's all about civic pride."
Miss Donelan said: "It's about localism, which is what the Conservatives stand for, and what I stand for."

A THUG who carried out a brutal assault on a Dudley woman after a dispute on a bus has been caged.
Marinus Howell threw a can of drink down the aisle of the 276 bus after it had left Merry Hill which hit an elderly woman and soaked fellow passenger Sandy Young who called him an "idiot."
The 33-year-old father of four then walked towards Miss Young who, convinced she was going to be struck, lashed out hitting Howell in the face.
Cathlyn Orchard, prosecuting, told the court: "He then picked her up and threw her to the floor before repeatedly kicking her in the face,"
Judge John Wait told Howell: "You kicked the victim in the face close to her eye and it is fortunate for her and you that she did not lose her sight."
The attack only stopped when a woman travelling with him intervened.
The court heard Howell hurled the drink can after a dispute arose between the bus driver and another passenger at a stop in Netherton.
The judge said: "You involved yourself in an argument at the front of the bus that had nothing to do with you. You then carried out what was a serious unprovoked assault in a public place."
Howell, of Kemberton Road, Finchfield, Wolverhampton, initially claimed he had been acting in self defence but he pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm and was jailed for a year.
Miss Orchard told the court that Miss Young suffered a blood clot to the eye and it had to removed at hospital.

Heyward recalls beaning after near-miss
NEW YORK -- Jason Heyward was thinking about removing the face guard that he has worn on his batting helmet since his jaw was fractured by Mets left-hander Jon Niese's fastball last Aug. 21. But he altered his thinking Monday night when he watched Mets southpaw reliever Josh Edgin's 94-mph heater sail over his head as he stood in the same Citi Field batter's box where Niese had hit him.
Heyward said he did not draw the connection until he singled and began talking to Mets first baseman Eric Campbell, who was not present for the traumatic event that had occurred a little more than 10 months earlier.
"He was like, 'That's a nice piece [of hitting], especially after a ball was thrown over your head,'" Heyward said. "I was like, 'I appreciate it, man.' He was like, 'Why do you wear that face guard, have you been hit there before?' I was like, 'Yeah, it was actually here last year in August.'"
Heyward said he will continue wearing the face guard for the foreseeable future.
"Teams want to throw me in and that's fine," Heyward said. "They don't live there. But they know they want to do something to keep me off the away pitch. Hopefully, they can get it down and near the plate next time."
Instead of allowing Monday's near miss to affect him, Heyward showed some mental fortitude when he laced Edgin's 1-2 curveball to center field for a single that halted an 0-for-37 skid against left-handed pitchers. Heyward, who was hitting just .208 against southpaws before the skid, has continued to contend he has not been adversely affected by the lingering effects of being struck in the face last year.
"It feels like it has been a grind against them," Heyward said. "You just wanted to be perfect -- get the perfect pitches and not chase pitches off the plate. I felt like there was some [at-bats] where I was just missing pitches and sometimes, not being passive, but just being cautious to not chase a slider out of the zone or something like that."

Kansas Students, Dairy Farmers, Former KC Chiefs Player and Governor Toast Commitment to Fuel Up to Play 60
Today, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback signed a proclamation declaring the day "Fuel Up to Play 60" Day in recognition of the statewide commitment to child health and wellness at Wilbur Middle School in Wichita. Kansas Agriculture Secretary Dale Rodman, former KC Chiefs wide receiver Eddie Kennison, KC Chiefs mascot KC Wolf as well as Midwest Dairy Council staff, Wilbur students and teachers joined the Governor for the signing.
Launched by the National Dairy Council and the National Football League, in collaboration with the United States Department of Agriculture, Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school health and wellness program that encourages kids to choose nutrient-rich food first, and get out and play for at least 60 minutes a day. It has activated more than eight million students in 70,000 schools nationwide, including more than 450,000 students in 1,261 Kansas schools to be healthy, get active and make a difference. Through Fuel Up to Play 60, Midwest Dairy has awarded more than $500,000 to schools in 10 states, including nearly $75,000 to Kansas schools, to help them jumpstart their wellness efforts.
"As dairy farmers, we have always cared about legacy and the importance of passing on a better future to the next generation," said dairy farmer Steve Strickler, from Iola, Kan. "Fuel Up to Play 60 is a positive way to help Kansas students achieve better nutrition and fitness for life."

Arab telecom operators served 194.5 million cellular subscribers and 35 million mainlines by end of June 2008
A new report from Arab Advisors Group analyzes and ranks 30 fixed services operators and 50 cellular operators in nineteen Arab countries. STC's Al Jawwal, Egypt's Mobinil and Vodafone Egypt are the largest Arab cellular operators in terms of subscribers.
With the advent of new operators and increased competition in 2008, cellular subscribers in 19 examined Arab countries reached 194.533 million. ALJAWAL and MobiNil sustained their top rankings by H1 2008, with 17.800 million and 16.328 million subscribers respectively. Vodafone Egypt ended the first six months of 2008 with 15.202 million subscribers, settling as the third largest mobile operator in the region. UAE recorded the highest cellular penetration rate by H1 2008, which stood at 198.6% followed by Saudi Arabia (123.3%). Both countries report subscribers based on active on the switch method. UAE also had the highest fixed line penetration rate by H1 2008, which stood at 29.4%.
On the Average revenue per use front, Qatar's Qtel recorded the highest ARPU for fixed services, while Zain Kuwait recorded the highest ARPU for cellular services by H1 2008.
A new report, "A Scorecard of Key Performance Indicators of Arab Telecom Operators 2008" was released to the Arab Advisors Group's Telecoms Strategic Research Service subscribers on Nov 23, 2008. The 61-page report, which has 46 detailed exhibits, provides a comprehensive analysis of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) of the fixed voice and mobile operators in the Arab region. The KPIs are for the year 2007 and H1 2008. The nineteen countries covered in this report are: Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Mauritania, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sudan, Tunisia, UAE and Yemen. Two separate sections covered the fixed operators and the mobile operators. The report offers analytical comparisons between the service providers, by examining their performance in terms of the absolute number of subscribers, penetration rates, revenues, monthly Average Revenue Per User (ARPU), market shares, and key financial profitability ratios.
"The Arab cellular markets continue to grow at a high pace, while the fixed line markets are either growing slowly or stagnating. By H1 2008, cellular operators added around 18 million subscribers while all the fixed line operators added a mere 1.4 million mainlines. Cellular operators in Egypt and Saudi recorded the highest subscriber additions in by H1 2008. MobiNil topped the ranks with 2.121 million added subscribers by H1 2008" Mr. Issa Goussous, Sr. research analyst at Arab Advisors Group wrote in the report. "Competition in cellular services is a main driver for growth. Several cellular operators recorded high growth rates by H1 2008. Al Madar Aljadid in Libya recorded the highest growth rate amongst all cellular operators, which stood at 57.1%, followed by UAE's du at 53.3%" Mr. Goussous added.
The report covers cellular and fixed operators in addition to Integrated Communications Providers (ICPs) that provide both fixed and mobile services. The ICPs covered include Algerie Telecom (Algeria), Batelco and Zain Bahrain (Bahrain), Etisalat and du (UAE), Jordan Telecom Group (Jordan), Maroc Telecom, Medi Telecom and Wana (Morocco), Paltel (Palestine), Qtel (Qatar), Saudi Telecommunications Company (Saudi Arabia), Tunisie Telecom (Tunisia), Sudatel ( it provides mobile services under the brand name Sudani), Mauritel and Chinguitel (Mauritania) and Omantel (Oman).

So, I started playing back in 1993 in high school. I started with a Shark. After a few months I picked up a Whippet, Birdie, and Eclipse. My bag was a video game bag for a NES system. It was the perfect size for all the disks. I only played for a couple of years then I moved from Oklahoma to Indiana and really didn't play much and just stopped. My 6yr old son started to throw frisbee's in the back yard and found my old disks in the Garage. And he got me back into the game. So, here is my old list and my new list with some on the way. The first day back out stopped at store to update a little and get my son a disc.
OLD BAG - NES game system bag
Shark - Friend borrowed and was lost in a tree (also only disc I ever aced with)
Eclipse - Liked how it flew low and under trees (given to my son now)
Whippet - Great for the Oklahoma wind
Birdie - Only putter disc I knew about back then.
I kept my Whippet and Birdie and added a couple discs.
Whippet - Always liked this into the wind
Birdie - She's been good to me
Katana Blizzard Champion - Really like the distance this used as my driver.
T-Bone - used this one as a fairway driver still getting the hang of it.
Soft Magnet - liking how it doesn't deflect off the basket. Still needs broken in.
I got these used couldn't pass up the deal.
Monarch Champion
Beast Chanmpion
Fuse Opto
My bag is being updated right now I have Fade Crunch on the way.
Soon to come a Tee Devil Blizzard.
I really like the Katana, Monarch, Fuse, Magnet the most right now, as I get back into the sport.
Looking to add a Roc and Buzz to the bag, to see how they fly. I liked my nephew's Roc and have heard a lot about
Buzz, maybe go with a Ti, But I have been thinking of the Gold line Fuse in a different weight or two. And in case I lose
my current Fuse.

Students find loaded gun on floor of Tillamook movie theater
TILLAMOOK, Ore. - A loaded gun was found in a Tillamook movie theater by a couple of junior high school students who were there to see the new 'Hobbit' movie as part of a class trip.
They found the gun, an older Beretta 9 millimeter, Wednesday morning at the Coliseum Theater. The firearm had one bullet in the chamber and the safety was off.
One of the students who found the weapon informed an adult who was with the class and police were called to the theater.
"I was pretty scared," said Kolten McKinney, one of the kids who found the gun. "It could have been a concealed weapon that was dropped or it could have been from a crime scene."
"It was in the seat and when he sat down it fell out," said Levi Crabtree, another student. "It was pointed toward his and mine ankle."
Once officers removed the gun and searched the theater, the students were allowed back inside so they could finish watching the film. Some law enforcement officers did remain in the theater during the movie as a precaution.
Several hours after the incident, the gun's owner did come forward. He returned to the theater to try to pick up the weapon but ran into Tillamook's police chief, who was not happy about the situation.
It turned out that the gun owner does have a license to carry a concealed weapon but he could still face charges of reckless endangerment.

Lu's debut is a stunner. Weaving the strands of SF dystopia, police procedural, and coming-of-age—with touches of superhero and wild frontier traditions—she fashions a narrative in which the action is kinetic and the emotional development is beautifully paced. June, a prodigy from the elite class of the disintegrating Republic, is being groomed for a military career when her brother, a captain, is murdered. June is quickly drafted into the team tracking his accused killer, a spectral and maddeningly persistent outlaw known as Day. June's life has been shaped by intellect, and to be driven by an emotion as ungovernable as grief makes her vulnerable in painful, dangerous ways. Day has known grief all of his life, but is no more immune to it than June is. The chase unfolds against a plague-infested Los Angeles of Gotham-like grit that Lu conjures with every nuance of smell, sound, and sight. First in a series, this story is utterly satisfying in its own right and raises hopes high for the sequels to come. Ages 12–up. (Nov.)
