EA Humble Origin Bundle Raises $10.5M for Charity
After raising more than $10 million with its Humble Origin Bundle, EA has been donating all the proceeds to charity. This past weekend, The American Cancer Society was the recipient of a nice chunk of that change.
According to Game Politics, EA donated $1.65 million to the ACS, which is just one of the many charities EA had promised would get donations from the Bundle. Also set to get some of the money raised are the Human Rights Campaign, Watsi, the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the American Red Cross.
EA's Peter Moore tweeted how proud he was of the team, and hopefully the four others will have some good news to tweet about before the end of the year, too.
So proud of Team EA in raising $10.5M from the Humble Bundle, $1.65M of which goes to the American Cancer Society @EA pic.twitter.com/5VfUx72keY
— Peter Moore (@petermooreEA) December 5, 2013
The Humble Origin Bundle launched in August, and hopefully it won't be the last time we see a major publisher offer the same kind of great deals in the name of charity. If you missed out, you can still head to Humble Bundle to see the latest offering, and get some great games while helping raise money for other non-profit organizations.

Da Vinci - Russian Black Sable - Oil Brush - Round - size 1 - The Russian Black Sable, also known as high quality Russian fitch hair is so smooth that only certain master brushmakers have the dexterity to handle them. The seamless, nickel-plated brass ferrules make these German handmade brushes stable and durable. The performance is firm, yet soft enough to allow for strokes that do not mark the paint layers. Excellent for delicate blending and smoothing out ridges, they are favorites among portrait and realist painters.
Multi-functional, the Rounds taper to a sharp point for detail work and maintain excellent spring.

The more I think about each deal, none of them really get me excited--at least the one's that aren't totally off-the-wall or one-sided in the Pacers favor. What are the odds that TPTB do not complete any trades?

The more I think about each deal, none of them really get me excited--at least the one's that aren't totally off-the-wall or one-sided in the Pacers favor. What are the odds that TPTB do not complete any trades?
I wouldn't say that any of the trade offers has me freaking out, but it is exciting to see the Pacers back in the minds of the national media.
Even if it's just a little bit. I'm tired of this franchise being completely Jim O'Brien-irrelevant.
I think it's nice to know that TPTB are pursuing all avenues to improve the team.
Of course, we all have our own thoughts as to what to do with the picks and we'll have know clue as to what they really are thinking of doing until it's done.
The buzz keeping interest in the team among the avid fans... it'll be interesting to see how the draft events will affect the non-avid fans: it prolly won't be noticed for months or years in regards to ticket sales unless this team gets better.
I like the idea of pursuing a pick that could land Evan Turner.
I guess I would say the rumor of Tony Parker was the one that got me the most excited. But rumors are just that, rumors. Parker I think would go well with our current style of play, which I am not the biggest fan of. But he would give us a PG who could pentrate and kick the ball to open perimeter shots. He also brings championship pedigree. We would have to be able to lock him up in an extension for it to make sense. With all that said, I just don't see it happening, I doubt he wants to come to Indy and I doubt this franchise can make a deal like that happen.
The other rumors have been so so, nothing that really gets me excited. Though if we could get Collison some how from NO that would be a great deal I think, depending on what we have to give up to get him. He could be the long term solution at the point.
The next few weeks leading up to the draft we will be hearing more I am sure. My hope is that we are able to pull off something to bring in a vet that can help lead this team and push us into the playoffs. I think a vet PG is the way to do it. Only time will tell and it is getting close.

Before the draft, 98.6%. During the draft night, 64%, after the draft before camp, 84.637% after the draft til mid July, rising to 93.2% by mid September, and then 100% until January 28, 2011. BTW, I used a random number generator (my own addled brain) to arrive at these figures.
After that, it is anybody's guess because we really don't know what the intent of the franchise is going forward, and whether O'B will still be coaching then.
Overall, I still think we are letting our expirings expire unless the deal is just too good to possibly pass up due to the financial considerations facing the franchise.

Evan Turner excites me to no end. I don't care about Brand's contract, I'd gladly go into LT territory for Turner. It'd be an investment in the franchise's future, one with a pretty nice rate of return as I see it.
However, I know there's no chance in hell it'll happen, so no, I guess I'm not very excited.

Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
If you want to get excited, here's what I heard:
I heard we are sending Granger and Murphy out in a sign-and-trade for Lebron James.
I heard this in my head. The voice tells me to do things. Wonderful things. Terrible things.

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to serve as a horrible warning. - Catherine Aird
This, and only this got me excited about the team this off season.
Bird/Simon would be fools not to take that deal. We need a franchise player and I highly doubt we land one in FA. Our only other hope would be to trade expirings and assets at the TDL. And even in that scenario, you have to find a team wanting to dump an all-star type talent.
I personally think Favors could a top 10 player in this league. If we got #2 and NJ had interest in Turner, I'd flip it to NJ for Favors and a young player like Lee. We could use that sweetner (Lee) to go after a PG.
lol of course we are, especially after watching JOB single handedly do everything wrong during the season.
im excited for a fresh start!
I'm expecting a draft night trade involving our pick and a player for maybe a PG from another team and maybe another player or their pick.
I guess you can count me in as not excited. I haven't seen anything that makes me feel that any of the proposed moves would put us over the hump anytime soon and I think these moves would keep the Pacers in lottery land/early playoff exit status for even longer.
Okafor/Collison rumor
Emeka Okafor: Meh. He hasn't really helped his teams all that much. Charlotte improved after he left. New Orleans was struggling this year even before Chris Paul was injured.
Darren Collison: I think he can be a nice player, but I am more than hesitant to take on Okafor's contract.
Brand/Turner Rumor
Elton Brand: He is toast. Why tie up that money after you have waited this long?
Evan Turner: I really like him but his turnover rate actually really scares me to mortgage the future on him. That was likely partially a function of carrying too much of the load at OSU, but that still scares me.
Tony Parker: Sounds promising if you can sign him long term, but I have a feeling that his skills are optimized under Popovich. I guess one year under Obie wouldn't make that a bad deal if we make a good coaching hire in 2011. Still, I just have the feeling that San Antonio would almost always get the better end of a deal with the Pacers, and that we would have to overpay to get him here and overpay Parker to keep him long term. He is looking for a max contract after next season. Can he be THE number one guy?
Monta Ellis: I would love to have him if he could play the 2009-2010 Pacers every night. He needs the ball in his hands and I am not sure I really would enjoy that brand of basketball long term. With Allen Iverson in his prime? Yes. With Monta Ellis? No.
i'm excited about pacers basketball in general.
go pacers!
"Sometimes, when you look Andy in the eyes, you get a feeling somebody else is driving." -- David Letterman
ME! I simply don't get excited about Internet rumors anymore. A good portion of them are just made up, so I don't give any of them credence.
What's more even if you get someone you think is good . . . they can turn out to be Cabbage.
Not necessarily a specific rumor, but I'm excited about ALL the rumors, for the simple fact that it means we're looking into what moves we can make.
Of course none of these mean a thing, and we may still be the same team next year, but we're looking to make changes.
I think the biggest rumor for me is those thinking we aren't going to keep the #10 pick
If Elton Brand plays against Troy Murphy every night he'll have a lot left in the tank
Am I excited about these rumors? Not really.....
But to tell you the truth....it's the only thing that is keeping me from getting extremely bored during this long and boring Offseason. The rumors maybe nothing more than 2nd hand guesses......but at least we have something to talk about for the next 2 weeks until the draft.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
I'm at least willing to consider the Collison/ Okafor and Brand/#2 proposals.
The Parker idea is terrifying to me. For real. Indiana is just not ready to make a move in the playoffs, and Parker would not change that. This is the type of deal a playoff team pulls when we've "just 1 piece away" from making a playoff run. We will either give up other key pieces and dramatically overpay Parker to keep him or give up key pieces and lose him. Neither will take us anywhere. You pick which is the "good" outcome.
Trading for a young, promising PG to grow with our key young players makes sense for where our team is right now. If that option isn't available, picking up someone like Udoh, Monroe, Davis, or George (one or more will be at #10) and trying to acquire and additional (mid to late)1st round pick to grab Armon Johnson or Bledsoe sounds more appealing to me. I'd target Varnardo or Vasquez at #40. I might even try for a late 1st round pick (move up from #40) for Vasquez because Price is hurt. So I guess I feel better about the draft than some of the trade options. I think some of us are fantasizing about a big home run trade when the bases are empty. We're just not in a position to trade for a star right now. If we do we won't be going anywhere fast.
I'm very excited about next year. Summer of 2011 should be a great offseason for the Pacers.
Why waste a late 1st on Vasquez? It would be easier for the Pacers to acquire an earlier 2nd round pick to get him. I'm an advocate of getting an earlier 2nd round pick for someone like Jordan, Robinson, Vasquez, Torrance, Garcia.

The Coastal Trail was built in the 1980s and since then had not received significant trail surface rehabilitation other than basic crack repair. The Coastal Trail is one of Anchorage's most important assets enjoyed by residents and many visitors. For more than 25 years, the trail has weathered Anchorage's harsh weather conditions relatively well, but several areas have deteriorated to the point of needing significant repair. Fixing the trail surface is necessary to protect this asset for the future.
In 2013, seven (7) miles of the Coastal Trail received a surface make-over this summer between mile post 6.6 and 2nd Avenue. The construction was almost complete, but due to winter weather the project will re-start in the summer of 2014. Parks & Recreation will regularly post alternate travel routes and construction updates on Facebook and Twitter. The rehabilitation of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail is funded in part by a grant from the Anchorage Park Foundation and the Municipality Of Anchorage 2012 Bond Funds. In 2011 a one-mile segment of the trail was successfully resurfaced just south of Point Woronzof. The 2013-14 project is a continuation of a multi-year effort by Parks and Recreation to rehabilitate the popular trail. Included in the rehabilitation will be repairing several longitudinal cracks or "crevasses" that present hazards to all trail users, including bicyclists, walkers, runners and in-line skaters. Bridges will also be resurfaced and repaired as necessary.
For safety reasons, there will be no access on the closed sections during construction. Portions of the trail are somewhat isolated, not connected to major roadways or transportation corridors. This circumstance along with its proximity to the airport runway, AWWU's water treatment facility, the bluff, and the Alaska Railroad Corporation, poses significant detour challenges. During the phased summer-long closure, Parks & Recreation asks that recreational trail users utilize a different Municipal trail and that trail commuters employ an alternate route. Significant trail events such as the Alaska Run for Women the Mayor's Marathon and the Big Wild Life Runs will be accommodated during the phased construction process. Event coordinators are encouraged to contact Parks and Recreation prior to their scheduled event to verify trail status and route. This construction project presents a temporary inconvenience to all users, but the trail surface improvements accomplished will benefit our community for many years. As mentioned above, we will be posting alternate routes and construction updates on Facebook and Twitter; for additional assistance contact (907)-343-4135.Construction Updates:
(Note: older Posts have been removed, if you would like to see older posts please contact Maeve Nevins at firstname.lastname@example.com).
Under construction updates:
(posted 07/24/14 at 4:00pm):
Construction repairs will be made to the southern section of the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail beginning on Tuesday, July 31 to Friday, August 1, 2014 (weather dependent).The trail will be closed from 8am to 4pm daily.
The construction will begin at the AWWU water treatment facility on Hutson Drive and continue south to the Sisson Bridge at mile post 6.6. Due to trail isolation, there will be no available detour route to or from Kincaid Park. Maps will be posted at all trail intersections and on the Parks & Recreation Facebook, Twitter and project webpage.
In 2013, seven (7) miles of the Coastal Trail received a surface make-over between mile post 6.6 and 2nd Avenue. The construction was almost complete, but due to seasonal winter weather the project has been extended into 2014. Thank you for your patience as we work toward completing our trail improvement projects.

Avon Slashes Dividend to $0.06 from $0.23
Cosmetics company Avon Products, Inc. (AVP) on Thursday slashed its quarterly common stock dividend to $.06 per share, from $0.23 per share last quarter, after reporting a sharp drop in third quarter earnings. The new dividend is payable Dec. 3 to shareholders of record on Nov. 15.
Avon said the cut is part of an overall review of the company's capital structure, and that it's "consistent with prior communication that Avon would review the dividend to align it with current operating performance as well as Avon's peer group."
Avon shares were down 48 cents, or 3.1%, to $15.01 shortly after the opening bell, with Avon's new dividend yield plunging to 1.60% from 5.94% on Wednesday.
"Avon's third-quarter results remain disappointing," said Sheri McCoy, AVON CEO, in a statement. "However, we have identified the first critical actions to return Avon to a position of financial health and improve our competitive position. With a clear focus on growing the top-line, managing costs, and improving our working capital, I am confident that we are moving Avon toward a steady recovery."

There have been tremendous advances in the treatment of HIV by combining 3 to 4 of the 20 anti-HIV medications available. Despite these advances, there remain several important complications related to the treatment, most importantly adverse events like nausea, diarrhea, liver toxicity and lipodystrophy (fat wasting or accumulation). Some studies have found that drug levels are higher in women and that these higher drug levels are associated with the increased toxicity in women. The reasons for the higher drug levels remain unclear. It is unknown whether these relate to hormonal influences, drug metabolism, adherence, fat distribution, body size or other factors. For this reason, we would like to carry out this study to measure drug levels in HIV-infected women that are taking anti-HIV medications. This study will determine the predictors of high drug levels and will assess the association of drug levels and adverse events in women.

Good Morning! Thank you David, and Elisa, old friends, for organizing this important event. I am honored to be here with my other panelists, Admiral Blair, and the honored Special Rapporteur.
Before talking about closing space, I actually want to begin by talking about opening space; I believe these phenomena are inter-related. And we need to understand that relationship, that dynamic as we think about what we do concerning the backlash. They say that when you join government as a political appointee, you spend down your intellectual capital. Not so in the 21st century. Over nearly three and half years of serving in the Administration, I have been witness to, exposed to and learning about a revolution, and I don't mean the Arab Spring.
I mean a revolution in how citizens are using technology to hold government accountable. In Kenya, Indonesia, South Africa and many other places around the world, citizens are getting more information and demanding more information about how government delivers or does not deliver to their citizens. And they are using technology especially to talk about and monitor corruption. For example, "I paid a bribe" has moved from India to Kenya to Ukraine. They are using technology to track fraud in voting as we saw in Russia. So how does this connect to closing space? This is the backlash, the empire striking back. The open revolution has another side; Sovereignty has eroded and for authoritarians and other abusers of human rights, this phenomenon is deeply threatening. Power is shifting and dictators do not like that.
Some facts: During the past year, USAID has experienced an unprecedented pushback to our work with Civil Society Organizations around the world, reflecting a disturbing broader trend in many countries toward closing civil society space. It is a global issue. In the past two years, over 50 laws restricting registration, foreign funding, and limiting freedom of assembly have been passed, in every region in which USAID works, affecting CSOs in every development sector. This backlash against civil society has expanded to more and more countries; intensified, as seen by the draconian sentences handed down to courageous NGO activists in Egypt, including those with us today; and spread, to include not just democracy and human rights organizations, but humanitarian and other development NGOs.
So, what have we been doing about it? The Obama Administration has been working on an approach to make the defense of civil society a Whole of Government issue; bringing together USAID, the State Department, MCC, the Treasury Department, and USTR. President Obama and Secretary Kerry have made engagement with and support for civil society a hallmark of diplomacy and development policy. I think you saw that last week with the President's meeting with activists in Russia, and of course back in 2009 at the civil society summit.
Defending civil society's access to sources of funding, both foreign and domestic is a high priority. We have clearly communicated our U.S policy to all U.S. Embassies and USAID missions around the world that the U.S. Government reserves the right to work with civil society organizations even in situations where local laws are not in compliance with fundamental freedoms of association, expression, and peaceful assembly.
All U.S Embassies and Missions have been encouraged to meet regularly with civil society, in particular human rights defenders, and over 30 Embassies have established formal Strategic Dialogue Working Groups with local civil society organizations to provide a formal channel for civil society input and dialogue on topics including democracy and human rights, and women's empowerment. The USG's policy guidance is clear: Although the environment might be challenging and repressive in some places, our policy is to engage and to stand unequivocally in support of civil society around the world.
For USAID, this is a development issue—restrictions on civil society negatively impact our ability to partner with local CSOs and support their work in every sector, including health, economic growth, women's empowerment, humanitarian assistance, and democracy, human rights, and governance. We simply cannot achieve any of our development goals if we do not have free and robust civil society to work with. For that reason in our recently published DRG Strategy we write: "USAID is strongly committed to supporting civil society and standing up for fundamental rights, including the freedoms of association and speech, wherever they may be threatened."
Because USAID's work is so intrinsically tied to engagement with civil society, we are also often on the frontlines of this issue within the U.S. Government. So it should not be surprising that for the past year and a half, USAID has been working internally to more systematically learn and refine our own policies supporting civil society in restrictive environments. I don't have time to speak to all we are doing but let me point out a few highlights. Based on information from numerous Missions that we consulted on their experience with rapidly shrinking public space here is what we found:
Challenges related to legal restrictions on CSOs (such as restrictions on registration); Laws restricting foreign funding; Government pressure or attempts to manage the CSO sector; Public image and defamation issues; and dangerous threats to both physical and cyber security of CSOs and activists. This last issue is an especially poignant one; it takes us back to the murder of Natasha Estimirova in 2009 in Ingushetia. It takes me back to the multiple police raids that have been described to me and in one case witnessed in Zimbabwe.
So, in light of these threats, USAID has formulated three basic principles to supporting civil society in restrictive environments and have in turn passed this information out to Missions. First, we focus on prevention, including monitoring developments aimed at restricting civil society through the legal framework or otherwise. By tracking the legal environment, we can develop real-time diplomatic and assistance responses to threats to civil society. These efforts, when done in a coordinated manner with like-minded governments, other donors, international financial institutions, and CSO partners themselves, have been effective in reshaping, mitigating, and in some cases, rolling back restrictive laws.
Second, we focus on adaptation, aiming to be flexible and adapt our programs to help CSOs continue their work in the face of new regulations. We assist CSOs to develop the capacity to manage new regulations, and support CSOs across all development sectors that might be affected by restrictive conditions. And finally, we continue supporting CSOs, even where space is severely restricted, often through regional platforms and with a focus on information security.
As we continue to shape and develop new, thoughtful approaches to tackle this issue of restricting space for civil society, we are increasing our dialogue with like-minded countries and partners. I was honored to participate not long ago in a conversation about this issue in Brussels with our EU partners and another one in NYC with private philanthropists. We need donor dialogue on this issue in addition to diplomatic engagement.
Together with our State Department colleagues and other international public and private partners, we are developing innovative global and regional approaches that respond to this critical new 21st century challenge. We are exploring in some depth supporting or establishing global platforms that would enable innovation in civil society in numerous settings. And we are looking forward to working with additional donors and activists to raise the profile on the need for greater training and support concerning the physical security needs of activists. The physical and cyber security needs of activists must be a high priority for all of us as we move forward.
Let me close by linking this back to the open revolution: To date, I go to many meetings where I see two completely separate communities and conversations going on: We have, on the one hand, a robust transparency and accountability community. They helped spawn the open revolution. And we have, on the other hand, the closing space community. They are survivors of closing space. These communities need to be engaging one another, and we hope to see this happen in NYC on the margins of UNGA, at the end of September, and at the Open Government Partnership Ministerial at the end of October in London. I fear if we do not have these communities engaging one another, this will be the new divide replacing East/West or North/South. And those living in closing space environments will be left behind in an information age. Let's work together to make sure that does not happen.

In the PDGA Rules, there is scope for the TD to set 'special conditions'
How wide ranging are these allowed to be? I'm aware that they cannot do anything that contradicts the existing rules, but is that the only caveat?
For example, last weekend, the TD declared that there was to be no smoking during the rounds.
In a few weeks, it's rumoured that another TD will declare no urination on the course!
Are these allowable decisions for the TD, assuming there is no local law prohibiting either?

Hello there.
I just wrote the most minimal PHP I could figure out to see if anything connected with anything. I am not on a server; I am trying to do this inside my Windows machine.
My HTML (it has a php suffix, and which works fine otherwise) contains

Anybody home?
<?php include "/includes/menu.php";?>

and in the folder where all the html and php stuff is, there's a folder called "includes". In that folder is just a little text
anything I try
"Anybody home?" is just to see whether the div is working and in place (it is). I can't figure out how to connect the php to display anything after that though. The fellow who got me this far gave me some fancy server language but I stripped it down to what the kiddie pages say to do, to try to get at the basics of what's happening.
There's something I'm not understanding here. Would you like to give me a hand? Sorry if what I'm asking doesn't make sense. I don't know enough to make sense.
I'm not clear as to what or how you're doing things.
All the paths to the files and file name spelling is correct.You start up your localhost PHP server.But when you open the "anybody home" file in your browser "anything I try" doesn't show?
Remove the first / from the path.
<?php include "includes/menu.php";?>
But when you open the "anybody home" file in your browser "anything I try" doesn't show?
I picked up the Dummies book and it says to write in the whole path to the inclusion starting with c: That didn't change anything. In some of their examples they put the path in parentheses and in some of them they don't so I tried parentheses. That didn't change anything.
You start up your localhost PHP server.
Uh....the WAMP has to be running even though everything's happening inside one folder and one subfolder? Well, I fired that up. Still nada.
Tried renaming the "includes" folder to "include", because the book said that if I did that I wouldn't need any path at all, just the file name. Uh-Uh.
Tried copying the file into the folder right in with all the html stuff. Nope.
Now I'm wondering whether the inclusion and the "include" folder is supposed to be stored in some special other place having something to do with WAMP? I mean, even just for while I'm messing around trying to write this thing?
What happens when you put these addresses in your browser:
In both cases they take me to a WAMP Server Configuration page, showing Apache, PHP, and MySQL versions. I doubt that they're old; I'm just starting to mess with this stuff.
Well, the file being served from localhost (or 127.0.0.1 if you prefer) is the root of your webserver. No doubt it is called index.php. You need to find out where that folder is located on your file system.
Remove or rename that file, then create a new index.php file.
Temporarily create a folder in there too, /includes and then try your experiment again.
I did find it, I did set it aside and put in a copy of the "menu.php" file in that folder. No go.
I put a folder called "include" and "includes" in that folder and that didn't play either. I copied that folder up a level, even with WAMP's www folder and that didn't work either.
I might be getting to where I have to ship this to one of you guys and pay you to fix it....Apparently other people just do this and it works, and I can't.
You'll get nowhere with this if you do not get to the bottom of the problem.
echo '
This is the index file
';
include './menu.php';
echo '
This is my menu
';
Put them both in your web root directory and see if that works when you load index.php
Ooh, I got it.
Thanks, Cups. I won't detail what I was doing wrong, because it was profoundly dumb and although I'm accustomed to that, sometimes other people aren't.
Thanks so much.
No, we all felt exactly the same level of dumbness at some time or another (usually still on a daily basis) so don't worry ... you're in good company.

"Houston, with Luis Scola coming on, won its first back-to-back set and had at least five players in double figures for the second straight game, both without Tracy McGrady. It's giving the team more reason to move McGrady, who is said to have quietly let it be known he's no longer happy in Houston. With the Rockets still in need of a point guard, you could see them working out a package that includes Hinrich and Andres Nocioni."
He's as injury prone as J.O., and the salaries match.

Fairfax County Board Takes Action on FY 2009 Carryover Review
Sept. 14, 2009
News Highlights
On Sept. 14, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors took action to formally approve the carryover package including Supplemental Appropriation Resolution AS 10036 and Amendment to the Fiscal Planning Resolution AS 10900, including the FY 2009 Carryover Review Package as presented on Aug. 3.
Despite major fiscal challenges that have impacted everyone across the country, and with prudent guidance from the board, the county was able to produce a small year-end balance, which is proposed to be held in reserve to help mitigate potential budget shortfalls in FY 2010 and FY 2011. It is important to note that the county already has a significant shortfall looming in the FY 2011 Budget so it will be necessary to maintain vigilance, look for efficiencies wherever possible and hold any resulting funding balances in reserve to help address the situation.
A brief summary of the FY 2009 Carryover Review Package follows:
- FY 2009 General Fund Revenues and Transfers In were $43.5 million over the FY 2009 Revised Budget Plan estimate.
- FY 2009 actual expenditures were below FY 2009 Revised Budget Plan projections by $69.7 million.
- This results in a total of $113.2 million; however, it is necessary to net out all outstanding encumbrances and unencumbered commitments that are carried over to FY 2010, as well as make a required adjustment to the Managed Reserve. These total $47.1 million, leaving a combined revenue and disbursement balance of $66.1 million.
The carryover package then includes $11.4 million in administrative
adjustments associated with previously approved board initiatives,
- $6.1 million for the Legacy Systems Replacement Project consistent with the contract award presented to the board on July 13.
- $5.0 million for emergency system failures that are occurring with more regularity at aging county facilities, as well as capital renewal projects categorized as "F," urgent/safety related, or endangering life and/or property.
The remaining balance of $54.7 million, or 83 percent of the total
available balance, was set aside in reserves, including:
- $16.2 million to restore the Revenue Stabilization Reserve to 3 percent of General Fund disbursements.
- $20.0 million to advance funding for the county's retirement systems, reflecting the significant investment return losses in FY 2009.
- $5.0 million for unanticipated requirements, including lower revenue, in FY 2010. This reserve is prudent as several indicators of the county's economy have continued to weaken over the last several months, resulting in continued concern for the revenue outlook in FY 2010.
- $12.4 million to offset the projected FY 2011 deficit of $316 million. This reserve, as well as other spending reductions and revenue enhancements, will be necessary to bridge this gap.
- $1.1 million for necessary adjustments to the Managed Reserve.
Additional information on the FY 2009 Carryover Review or other budget-related matters is available by calling the Department of Management and Budget at 703-324-2391, TTY 711, as well as on the county's Web site.
Contact: Merni Fitzgerald, Director, Office of Public Affairs
703-324-3189, TTY 711, Media Pager: 703-324-NEWS (6397)

Barrel of WineLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
There is a barrel with no lid and some wine in it. "This barrel of wine is more than half full," said Curly. Moe says, "No it's not. It's less than half full."
Without any measuring implements and without removing any wine from the barrel, how can they easily determine who is correct?
AnswerSolution: Tilt the barrel until the wine barely touches the lip of the barrel. If the bottom of the barrel is visible then it is less than half full. If the barrel bottom is still covered by the wine, then it is more than half full.

Virtual colonoscopy is a minimally invasive exam to screen for cancer of the large intestine (colon). Virtual colonoscopy requires the same pre-test bowel preparation as colonoscopy. But virtual colonoscopy doesn't require sedation or inserting a scope into the colon.
During virtual colonoscopy, a CT scan produces hundreds of cross-sectional images of your abdominal organs. The images are combined and digitally manipulated to provide a detailed view of the inside of the colon and rectum.
Virtual colonoscopy is an alternative to colonoscopy, but the new test doesn't mean you'll never have another colonoscopy. If virtual colonoscopy shows abnormalities in your colon, your doctor will typically recommend colonoscopy to learn more.
Virtual colonoscopy is used to screen for colon cancer in people who are at least 50 years old and at average risk for the disease. Studies have shown that virtual colonoscopy has detection rates similar to colonoscopy for cancer and most types of polyps. Similarly, virtual colonoscopy is as accurate as colonoscopy for people at average risk of colon cancer, including people over age 65.
Virtual colonoscopy also screens for an enlargement of the major blood vessel in the abdomen (abdominal aortic aneurysm).
Your doctor may suggest virtual colonoscopy if you:
You aren't a candidate for virtual colonoscopy if you have:
Because virtual colonoscopy provides images of the entire abdominal and pelvic area, problems unrelated to colon cancer — such as a kidney tumor — might be found as well. Virtual colonoscopy may also be used to monitor small or very small polyps.
Insurers vary in their coverage of virtual colonoscopy. Coverage should be checked before scheduling the procedure.
Virtual colonoscopy is generally safe. Risks include:
Before a virtual colonoscopy, you'll need to empty your colon. Any residue in your colon may obscure the images taken during the exam.
To empty your colon, follow your doctor's instructions carefully. You may be asked to:
You'll wear a gown, but likely no other clothes. Sedation usually isn't necessary, but you may be given medication to relax your colon.
You'll begin the exam lying on your side on the exam table, usually with your knees drawn toward your chest. The doctor will place a small tube (catheter) inside your rectum to fill your colon with air or carbon dioxide. The air or gas helps create clear images and may cause a feeling of pressure in your abdomen.
For the next part of the exam, you'll lie on your back. The exam table will be moved into the CT machine, and your body will be scanned. Then you'll turn over to lie on your abdomen or your side, and your body will be scanned again.
You may be asked to turn and hold various other positions, as well as hold your breath at times. If necessary, a contrast agent may be given through a vein in your arm to help create clearer images.
A virtual colonoscopy typically takes about 10 to 15 minutes.
In a multicenter study of people who had virtual colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer, nearly 93 percent of participants labeled their overall experience "excellent" or "good," and 93 percent indicated they would choose the procedure for their next screening.
Most of the air or gas will be removed from your colon through the catheter in your rectum. You may feel bloated or pass gas for a few hours after the exam as you clear the remaining air or gas from your colon. Walking may help relieve any discomfort, and you can return to your usual diet and activities right away.
Your doctor will review the results of the colonoscopy and then share them with you. Your test results may be:

My path into agriculture was a little different than most people. Agriculture wasn't my family business; I didn't grow up raising farm animals or helping to plant fields. I often tell people that agriculture was the career that chose me: as a college sophomore who started working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.
Fast forward eight years, two degrees, four moves and numerous life milestones later—and I'm back where my love for agriculture began. I'm in Washington, D.C. working as the Communications Director for the Animal Agriculture Alliance.
While my background may not be typical, what it lacks in tradition, it makes up for in perspective. My unique background helps me look at things both as a person strongly dedicated to serving the animal agriculture industry, as well as a person "on the outside" – someone who is removed from the farm, someone, for instance, like the majority of consumers.
It's no secret that the animal agriculture industry has been having some, what I like to call, public relations growing pains. For so long, the animal agriculture industry has been "mums the word" about what they do, how they do it and why they love to do it. But no more.
The onslaught of anti-meat campaigns and propaganda, the new, hyper-social, uber-connected world we live in and the consumer's desire to know the "story" behind their food has forced us all to critically examine the need to communicate and the importance of communicating effectively.
A few weeks ago, I visited a large, vertically-integrated pork production operation in the Midwest and chronicled my observations in a guest blog for Meatingplace. This trip was important because it allowed me to ask the experts (the people that actually work with animals day in and day out) the questions that I get asked all the time by reporters, the general public and activists.
The trip also highlighted for me some discrepancies in the terminology we use to describe common industry practices. For example, the company I visited prefers to call gestation stalls "individual maternity pens." For me, a fellow industry stakeholder, I can get on board with that terminology because I know what those words mean—just like I know the meaning of a gestation stall.
But to the consumer, you might as well be speaking another language. Couple the industry's technical and often scientific terminology with the images that consumers see from the activist community, and we communicators have a battle before we even wake up in the morning.
My point is that the name shouldn't matter as much as the rationale, or story, behind why we do the things we do. To most consumers, when presented with the pictures by activist groups of modern hog housing, regardless of whether we call them gestation stalls or individual maternity pens, they are left with the impression animals experience inhumane conditions on "factory farms."
We in the industry know that's not the truth, but it doesn't matter. We're dealing with perception and not reality; exactly what the activists capitalize on.
Take, for example a recent Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) campaign that asked bus riders in Washington, D.C. and Des Moines, Iowa, "How would you like to spend the rest of your life in a space as small as a bus seat?," a comparison to the size of gestation stalls.
Activist groups, like HSUS, know that there's no quicker way to tug on the emotional heartstrings of the average American than to use an image with a compelling slogan or question. And notice—they didn't even use the term gestation crate, maternity pen or any other combination of those words in their advertisement.
Why? Because it doesn't matter to consumers what we (the industry) call them!
So let's stop worrying about the semantics (and trust me, as a trained attorney I love my semantics) and look at the forest and not the trees. Let's start communicating about the "why" and not just the what.
I'll tell consumers all the things I learned on my trip: that sows are aggressive, that they like to be close together (those in group housing typically lay together anyway, a term my guide called "Velcro pigs") and that in some ways, individual stalls allow for better management and tracking of the sows' wellness, feeding habits and other factors.
Or if you're a proponent of group housing, I'll explain the "why" behind that, too.
If we don't start getting to the root of the negative perception, decisions about how to raise animals are going to continue to be made by those most removed from the farm.
And I think we can all agree that no one wants that.

ALLEN PARK — Havard Rugland, the Norwegian kicker better known as Kickalicious, has been cut by the Detroit Lions.
It's not a surprise.
Rugland, who was signed by the Lions as a free agent, had never played in a football game at any level. He had never worn a football helmet until the first day of rookie camp in May.
Yet according to coach Jim Schwartz he passed each test along the way. In his first game — a preseason win over the New York Jets — Rugland kicked field goals of 49 and 50 yards. His excitement and enthusiasm was contagious, the whole team was behind him.
Rugland gained worldwide attention with a four-minute YouTube video showing him kicking a football into a garbage can, through a basketball hoop, into a moving boat and more.

Mexican Food Recipes
The Mexican Food Recipes Are Surprisingly Similar.
Being from Texas, I have practically grown up on Mexican food, and I absolutely love it more than anything else. What I have found over the years, however, is that Mexican food recipes are surprisingly similar in that many of the dishes use essentially the same ingredients.
Tacos are probably my favorite food off all. I have liked them since I was a little kid, when I would ask for them every year for my birthday dinner, and nothing has really changed. I still ask for them regularly, and they are quite simple in concept. All they require is ground beef, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, seasoning and taco shells or tortillas.
They are easy to make and taste delicious, just as many Mexican food recipes are. When I started to think about all of the Mexican dishes that I really like, however, I started to notice a very similar trend. Nearly every meal that I like is some variation of those ingredients, with a few more added in here and there.
Burritos, for instance, are ground beef, cheese, seasoning, tortillas and refried beans. If you like them this way, you can add potatoes, but for the most part, the ingredients are the same for burritos as they are for tacos with the exception of beans. Then there are tostadas, which I also love. These are basically a cross between a taco and a burrito. This recipe calls for a tostada shell, which is basically a flat taco shell, along with ground beef, cheese, refried beans, lettuce, tomatoes, and seasoning.
Tortillas are a staple in most Mexican food recipes, as are beans. I have found that with one of my favorite foods, enchiladas, they typically use a different type of tortilla than some other recipes, in that they include corn tortillas. However, the ingredients still include beef and cheese in most cases, or in some cases, chicken.
I also am a big fan of flautas, which basically are tortillas wrapped around beef or chicken and then deep fried. It's probably not the best thing for your heart, but they are pretty tasty nonetheless.
I love the fact that Mexican food recipes are so simple in terms of ingredients, and yet so flavorful. Mexican restaurants are probably the most popular in the state of Texas, and I feel very fortunate that one can find really good Mexican food pretty much everywhere.
Mexican food recipes are part of my family's regular cuisine, even though we are an Irish-American family. It is hard not to fall in love with Mexican food once you have had it, and with such a great variety of meals that can be made from such a small group of ingredients, it is impressive, too.

Recorded in 2011 on Kemiö Island, in Turku, Tampere and Stockholm, Lau Naus long-awaited third LP, Valohiukkanen, is to be released on 12th November 2012 by Fonal Records. An articulate work of delicate beauty featuring nine new Lau Nau originals and one cover version, it is adorned by an array of instrumentation, and enhanced by the integration of rhythm and percussion - a thing rarely heard on Lau Nau albums. Although its safe to say the mood is still firmly rooted in the shadowy side of life, we are occasionally taken to a disco - yet that too sounds as if it may have been organized by Death. Tonally and texturally rich and immersive, the new record includes contributions from Pekko Käppi on jouhikko, Jaakko Tolvi on drums, Antti Tolvi on bass and alto clarinet, Kristian Holmgren on guitar, synths and percussion and Matti Bye on grand piano and celesta. The cover photographs were taken by renowned Finnish photographer Susanna Majuri, as part of her Imaginary Homeland series.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Financial New Year's resolutions are something many of us make every new year. Unfortunately, it's also something that gets broken each year. For those of you who want to keep your financial resolution, there are a few simple tricks that can get you started on the right foot.
"We should all work until we can no longer work because that's what actually keeps us healthy," said Carolyn McClanahan with Life Planning Partners.
You might feel empowered after giving yourself a New Year's resolution to become financially stable in 2013. But imagine how good you will feel if come 2014, you actually made it happen!
It can be tough, but financial advisor Carolyn McClanahan says it IS possible- start off with one crucial step."The most important thing people need to do is pay off their high interest credit card debt."
McClanahan says there are three other main things you can do to automatically get your finances in gear.
Make a plan - figure out how much you have and start setting aside money each month; a little goes a long way. In case you need to retire early, start putting money in your 401K or IRA fund.
Have an emergency fund - if you have a fairly stable job, set aside three months of savings. If you have a less stable job or a lot of debt, put aside 6 months of expenses.
Always have your resume in tip top shape - "It's always important for people to keep up their skills and keep their resume updated so you can say what can I do if the economy turns sour again," McClanahan said.
McClanahan says another tip is to pay your bills as your plan states. Each time you pay off anything, immediately assign that money to the next bill on your list.

PLANT CITY, Fla. — Entering its 90th season, Wish Farms is expanding its acreage, grower base and sales staff.
In August, Wishnatzki Farms changed its name to Wish Farms to better identify itself with its new label of the same name and to help remove consumer confusion between its name and branding.
It's also adding new growers, including Wayne Moss, a former partner and co-owner of Gulf Coast Produce Inc., Dover.
Wish Farms plans to harvest from more than 2,000 acres, up from 1,500 acres last year.
That new acreage should produce 5 million flats, larger than the 3 million flats Wish Farms produced last season.
Gary Wishnatzki, president and chief executive officer, said much of the increased volume follows more growers requesting that Wish Farms market their berries.
Wishnatzki convinced his son-in-law, James Peterson, to return from California to Florida to work in sales.
Wishnatzki's daughter and Peterson's wife, Elizabeth Peterson, returns as well and is working as Wish Farms' social media and public relations manager under director of marketing Amber Kosinsky.
The Petersons joined Wish Farms in early October.
Wishnatzki said Peterson worked in sales for Rose Bowl suites, a part of Legends, a marketing arm of the Dallas Cowboys' operation.
"He has the qualifications and has the right personality," Wishnatzki said.
"He's process-oriented, too, which is what we put a lot of value on. As we grow, it's important to be process-oriented and do things in certain ways."
Peterson joins Wish Farms' five other salesmen.
This season, Wish Farms also added 50 acres to its 100 acres of organic strawberry production on new ground in Duette, more than 20 miles south of Plant City in eastern Manatee County.
Though a small part of the overall Florida strawberry deal, organic demand remains strong and is increasing, Wishnatzki said. He said organic production costs are substantially higher and organic produces lower-yielding crops.
Wishnatzki attributes part of the company's success to treating growers fairly and not billing them for hidden charges.
"Being in business since 1922, you don't stay in business that long without having some integrity," Wishnatzki said.
Another benefit is Wish Farms' involvement in the processing deal. At the end of the season, Wish Farms sells to processed buyers.
That market can sometimes become a strong option for subpar fruit and allows Wish Farms to market only the best-looking fruit to its retail customers, Wishnatzki said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The Charlotte Bobcats provided one of the more shocking moments of the NBA Draft when they chose to take Cody Zeller with the No. 4 pick, as Nerlens Noel and Alex Len, both projected to be possible No. 1 picks, sat in the green room, waiting to be selected.
Fans in Charlotte booed the pick, television analysts looked visibly stunned and the Twitter world showed similar surprise. It seemed everyone was taken aback by the choice of Zeller—everyone but the Bobcats, who said this was the plan.
MORE: Zeller will contribute, but he's not Noel
"Cody has stood out for quite some time," Bobcats president Rod Higgins said. "After his freshman year, he was on most of the draft boards. So, he was a good guy who we definitely wanted to dig into his background, dig into his game, find out how competitive he is."
Indiana Hoosiers coach Tom Crean said Bobcats general manager Rich Cho spent more time in Bloomington, Ind., than any other NBA executive, a topic to which Cho responded, "There are some nice little restaurants there."
"Cody was a target all year," Cho said. "I was at the IU-Carolina game in Bloomington, and we all know how that turned out (Zeller scored a team-high 20 points in an 83-59 win). We targeted him all year, and we're just thrilled to have him. Just his on court stuff, his off court. He's a guy we want to build around."
And, contrary to what many believed on draft night, Cho said Zeller was the best big man available, a statement that explains their choice to pass on Noel and Len.
"Best big athlete I've seen in many, many years," Cho said. "He can really run the floor, he can shoot the ball, he's a great passer, he plays good defense, and we're thrilled to have him."
Zeller was aware of the extra attention, and said he was relieved to be chosen to play for the Bobcats and live in Charlotte. After working out for 10 teams, Zeller said he quickly realized that NBA franchises do their homework, something he said worked in his favor.
"Luckily for me I didn't have anything to hide," Zeller said. "The more research they did, the better for me."
While the marriage of the Bobcats and Zeller seemed inevitable from the inside, there was still that element of shock from the periphery, and Zeller might need thick skin in the early goings of his rookie season. Crean called Zeller one of the most mentally tough players he's ever coached, and Zeller agreed that was an attribute he possesses.
"That's definitely one of my strengths," Zeller said. "Nothing really phases me, whether it's the fans, the coaches, the opponent. Whether things are going well or going bad I'm going to be level-headed through it all."

First, I have a few thoughts on energy-transport MLPs, then a few more on market commentators.
Energy-transport master limited partnerships have taken a brutal beating in the latest selloff and for obvious reasons. With the latest talk of a fiscal cliff deal hanging out there, and with few revenue increases proposed (yet talk of a balanced approach being the only acceptable path), there are going to be several targets drawn on anything that can be perceived as tax-advantaged. Expect that the $5 million estate tax exemption will be shaved substantially, or that capital gains taxes will be adjusted from their current 15% -- perhaps not to represent ordinary income, but certainly higher. Leases and franchises on energy rigs and pipes are another tax-advantaged part of many of these MLPs and affect their distributions and their real yields. Consequently, many investors are running for the hills, waiting to see how it all plays out.
I own a ton of these MLPs, and even though I imagined this might happen and sold many of these holdings in early September, I still own far too many. And I'm not going to sugarcoat it: I don't think they're done being sold. Far from it. If you pull up a chart on some of these MLPs from 2009, you'll see just how far they can drop when they go out of favor. If you're still holding a lot of these, you need to lighten up, as I am doing, even though they've already had a bad time. You can buy them back cheaper in 2013.
A Word on Commentary
I'm getting mad -- drop a thousand points in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and that's likely to happen. That's because I've got my own skin in the game, a lot of my own money that I need for me and for my children's future. That's right, I own stocks. Lots of them.
So, what you do when your portfolio is taking a beating, like now, is really important because you've got access to so many people who claim all kinds of expertise -- money managers, hedge funders, newsletter providers, TV pundits and self-promoters. I'm not saying that any of their opinions can't be right, or that they might not have a good idea or entry point or prediction for the next several days or even months. But when really negative signs are swamping the positive signs for your portfolio and your numbers are dropping, you've got to know who's talking and, even more so, why they're talking. And the best reason for you to take anyone's advice is because their money is at risk too.
Luckily, you have some of the best people with their own money invested in their advice here at Real Money. You know who they are; they're the ones who make a living trading or have substantial personal assets in the funds where they work.

Not So Great Inventions #5Science brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Yet another inventor trying to find a better way to remove ice and snow from his car windows has come up with an almost great invention. This product uses a spray can containing a pure alcohol (in this case methyl hydrate) to melt away ice and snow from the windows. Alcohol (or methyl hydrate) is often used as gas line anti-freeze and in a mixed form in windshield washer fluid to keep it from freezing. It works really well to melt ice and this product is still sold even though it almost never works as the manufacturers claim. But why does it fail to produce a clear ice-less window?
AnswerTo be honest the product isn't a complete bomb. It does some of what it claims to do. The alcohol initially does indeed melt the ice and snow from the windows. But here's the catch: pure alcohol evaporates very very quickly even in cold temperatures. So you spray the window, the ice melts creating water which mixes with the alcohol, the alcohol evaporate leaving behind water, which refreezes on the window again. So you repeat the process again & again & again. Eventually you get only a micro thin layer of something like frost. But it never seems to totally remove the ice. This whole process can take longer than scraping by hand. Which shows you don't need to have a good product, just good advertising.

Hostess said late Tuesday that it failed to reach an agreement with its second-biggest union. As a result, Hostess plans to continue with a hearing on Wednesday in which a bankruptcy court judge in White Plains, N.Y., will decide if the company can shutter its operations.

Checker CircleLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Arrange twelve checkers in a circle, like they were the numbers on a clock. Pick up one checker and jump over two other checkers, either clockwise or counterclockwise, and put it on the third checker. Using that same methodology, can you create 6 stacks of 2 checkers each?
HintRemember that a stack of two checkers still contains two checkers.
Answer12 onto 9
5 onto 8
2 onto 6
4 onto 11
1 onto 10
3 onto 7
That is one possibility. Rotational and reflective symmetry allow for many others.

Quick question I hope. How much of the technical knowledge contained, for example, in the Abhidhamma, would an Arahant (or lesser) understand directly from being an Ariya? At first thought I thought no - but surely they would know each dhamma as it arises?
If not, would they be able to verify Abhidhamma concepts by study and comparison to their direct experience? Or can only a Buddha understand on the level of the Abhidhamma?
