Council votes to take beach access County would use eminent domain in Papaikou
HILO — The Hawaii County Council passed a resolution authorizing the taking of a public access easement to Papaikou Mill beach.
Eighty-two testifiers, beginning shortly after 9 a.m. and continuing until almost 4 p.m., commented on the resolution and an unrelated geothermal bill, among several other items. The vote to approve the resolution, the first item of the 12-page agenda, came shortly before 6 p.m.
The vote was 7-1, with Councilman Donald Ikeda dissenting and Councilman Fred Blas off-island to attend to a personal matter.
Final approval will require one more vote by the County Council, likely at its meeting on Nov. 21. But council members hope the vote will force the landowners and those who use the beach to come to an agreement before that.
Before the vote, Charlene Prickett, who owns the land along with her husband, Jim Waugh, told the council that "a local management group is forming" that would open beach access between dawn and dusk. She said the park was in much better condition than when she first saw it as 1995 as "a trash-strewn haven for drug dealers and vandals."
She cited a petition of 21 nearby landowners in opposition to the resolution, while some on the other side cited a petition with 5,400 signatures in favor of it.
Prickett also spoke of making special arrangements to allow fishermen onto the property after dark.
Testimony was divided, as it has in the past, on whether the county should acquire the parcel, but those in support of the resolution were in the majority at the meeting.
Supporters of the resolution, distinguished by their red palaka armbands, asked the council members to ensure beach access for future generations. Those in favor included younger surfers and beachgoers, and older kamaaina who remember fishing and swimming down at the mill site many years ago.
Those against the resolution also included surfers and beachgoers of all ages, and neighbors of Waugh and Prickett, many of whom have bought property within the last 20 years, who defended the landowners as the true caretakers of the land because they have maintained the site despite people who have left trash at the site.
Both sides told the council that the government's acquisition of private property for shoreline access was unprecedented as far as they knew, but they split on whether that was a positive thing.
Prickett and Waugh have proposed an alternate beach access that begins on land owned by their neighbor Steve Shropshire, who has not endorsed that idea.
Councilwoman Brittany Smart said she had originally thought that eminent domain was not the right way to go. Then she learned about Hawaii Revised Statutes 115-2, which states that "the various counties shall purchase land for public rights-of-way to the shorelines, the sea, and inland recreational areas, and for public transit corridors where topography is such that safe transit does not exist."
But as other council members took up the measure, it became clear that they were leery about authorizing eminent domain except as a last resort, and some did not seem convinced that it had reached that point.
"I really believe this can be solved peacefully. I don't think this should be done by eminent domain," Ikeda said.

[1]Starting Sunday, the price of a first-class stamp in the U.S. goes up a penny.
That will make the rate for sending a letter 46 cents, reports The Consumerist[2]. Postcard stamps will also rise a penny, to 33 cents. The rate hike was approved by Congress last year.
International mail will also increase. A letter sent overseas will now set writers back $1.10. That's an increase of 25 cents for letters sent to Canada and Mexico, and 5 cents for other overseas destinations.
The price hike is part of the U.S. Postal Service's ongoing efforts to fund itself. Each rate hike requires an act of Congress, which has been accompanied by congressional requirements that it fully fund an $11 billion pension fund. This has strapped the postal system and led to rate hikes.
For those buying today or tomorrow should opt for Forever Stamps. Purchasing those now will get customers the 45-cent rate, even if they use the stamps in the future.

text: I didn't mean to get into a discussion about 'specification vs. implementation' or 'clarity vs. conciseness', although those are important distinctions. In my original post I didn't do a good job of putting my objections in the proper context, so let me take one more whack at it and then I'll leave it alone. As a newcomer to Haskell, I read the entire Report, including all of the purely functional code in the Prelude and Libraries (I glossed over the monadic stuff initially). The code is not only clear as a *specification*, but also seems perfectly suitable as a default *implementation*. All the code seemed to have the time and space requirements that one would expect. Then I get to 'any' and 'all', whose specification requires linear time and *linear* space when it should run in constant space. (By the way, I checked and GHC does *not* use the Prelude definitions but rather the obvious recursive ones, and most of its optimizations based on "good consumers/producers" use meta-linguistic rewrite rules. So without knowing the specific optimizations that a compiler provides, I think it's safe to assume that the Prelude 'any' and 'all' *will* require linear space.) This is jarring; all the other code is clear *and* efficient, but 'any' and 'all' are not. I start to question whether I really understand the language after all. (Do 'or' and 'map' work differently than I thought? Did I misunderstand laziness? ...) After all, why would the authors (who presumably know more about the language than anyone on the planet) intentionally provide inefficient code in *this* case when they provided efficient code for all the *other* functions? This is why I don't think that the specifications are good; they're OK in isolation but not in the context of the rest of the Report. For me (and apparently for others), these specifications didn't enhance my understanding; they led me to question it. I know that the Report clearly says that these are just specifications, but that's one short paragraph. When I read 20 pages of code that appears to be reasonably efficient as well, I assume that that's by design and not accident. It would be one thing if the Report were littered with functions whose specifications were obviously not intended as implementations. But 'any', 'all', and 'findIndices' were the only inefficient ones I noticed out of the entire Report. And it's obvious that clarity is not the only goal in the specifications. For example, why bother to write a messy O(log n) version of x^n when the following is more clear *and* more concise? x ^ n | n >= 0 = product (replicate n x) _ ^ _ = error "Prelude.^: negative exponent" Since the specifications of 'any' and 'all' are part of the Report, they are part of the documentation for the language. They should be judged by how well they help people understand the language. The direct recursive versions, though slightly less concise, are equally clear and will not cause any confusion. That's why I prefer them. -- Dr. Eric Shade, Associate Professor Computer Science Department (CSAB Accredited) Southwest Missouri State University

Eventually, the Chicago Blackhawks were able to get to Jimmy Howard.
Jonathan Quick, however, should present a different challenge altogether.
Heading into the opening game of their NHL Western Conference final against the Los Angeles Kings Saturday at the United Center, the Blackhawks know the key to advancing is to get to Quick.
Unfortunately for them, no team has been able to do that in two years.
"He's a great goalie, he's proving it back-to-back years in the playoffs," said Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa. "We know he likes to come out from the crease, so we have to try and pin him in and the way to do that is to have a presence in front of the net."
"They're not going to give us a lot of shots on net, they have lots of guys who can block shots and they're going to try to do that. We're probably only going to be able to get shots from the corner, so we have to go to the net to get second chances."
Quick, who backstopped the Kings to their first Stanley Cup championship last year, winning playoff MVP honours in the process, comes into the series playing his best hockey.
He has a league-leading 1.50 goals-against average with a .948 save percentage and three shutouts.
"He's had a special couple of years in the playoffs," said Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville. "He's a different kind of goalie, the way he moves so quick in the crease and above it. We talked about getting a lot of pucks at the net, second opportunities are the ones you're going to beat him.
"That's something that we'll work on as we go along with him. But a lot of our talk going into this series and (Saturday's) game is that we have to find a way to make sure that he doesn't see the puck and we have to make it hard on them in that area."
The Blackhawks have experience going up against a hot goaltender.
In the last round against the Detroit Red Wings, Howard frustrated Chicago, helping stake his team to a 3-1 series lead.
The Blackhawks, however, were eventually able to solve the Red Wings goaltender. They pumped four past him in a Game 5 victory, three in the third period of Game 6 and two in the clincher, which included Brent Seabrook's overtime winner.
Yet, having won six consecutive playoff series, no one has gotten to Quick yet.
"He covers the bottom of the net very well," said Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane. "He's very fast, moving side-to-side and I think we all know that he likes to challenge (shooters).
"It seems like you say it against every goalie, but you want to make sure you get traffic, you want to make sure he's not seeing the puck and when you do get those second-chance opportunities, you want to elevate the puck into the upper half of the net He's a great goaltender, he's been playing great the last couple of years, so we definitely have our work cut out for us."
Quick was outstanding in his team's seven-game series win over the San Jose Sharks, particularly in the deciding contest Tuesday night.
The Kings have not given their goaltender much in the way of offensive support, averaging just two goals per game so far in the playoffs.
The Kings only managed to score 14 goals in the entire series against the Sharks, yet still managed to get past them.
"From the previous series, or last year during the playoffs, we've gone over what we need to do to beat him," said Blackhawks winger Brian Bickell, who has five goals in the playoffs. "He's been having a great playoff. He's making big saves when they need them. We just need to get in front of him and take his eyes away and go from there.
"If he sees it, he's going to stop it. We need to get our second opportunities, get around the net, beat guys to the net and just get those greasy goals."

(b) When selecting peers, the commission shall abide by the following conditions:
(1) The peer institutions shall be selected from among institutions throughout the United States and not solely from the states that are members of the southern regional education board.
(2) The peer institutions for community and technical colleges shall be selected in collaboration with the council.
(3) The peer institutions, as selected by the commission, shall be used as benchmarks for comparison purposes only and are not intended to reflect funding goals for West Virginia institutions of higher education. Such a use is inappropriate since institutions selected as peers for a state institution may be located in an area of high per capita income or have their funding subject to other factors that make its use unrealistic for setting funding goals in West Virginia. The peer institutions shall be used for comparison in the following areas:
(A) To determine adjustments to base operating budgets as described in section five of this article;
(B) To determine comparable levels of tuition;
(C) To determine comparable faculty and staff teaching requirements and other workloads; and
(D) For such other purposes as the law may require or the commission may find useful or necessary.
(4) The commission shall contract with a national, independent education consulting firm to assist in the unbiased selection of peer institutions for each West Virginia institution.
(5) The commission shall select peer institutions for each institution through an open, deliberative, objective process and in consultation with the institutional boards of governors or boards of advisors, as appropriate, intended to achieve broad understanding of the basis for this selection in the higher education community and the Legislature.
(6) Final peer selection is subject to the approval of the legislative oversight commission on education accountability.
(7) In selecting peer institutions, the commission shall use criteria such as, but not limited to:
(A) Institutional mission;
(B) Institutional size related to full-time equivalent students;
(C) The proportions of full-time and part-time students;
(D) The level of academic programs, including, but not limited to, number of degrees granted at the associate, baccalaureate, masters, doctoral and first-professional level;
(E) The characteristics of academic programs such as health sciences, professional, technical or liberal arts and sciences; and
(F) The level of research funding from federal competitive funding sources.
(8) Subject to the approval of the legislative oversight commission on education accountability, the commission shall review and make necessary adjustments to peer institutions at least every six years or as necessary based on changes in institutional missions as approved in institutional compacts or in changes at peer institutions. The commission shall review and make adjustments to peer institutions for community and technical colleges in collaboration with the council.
(9) Nothing herein prevents the commission from using the same peers or peer groups for more than one institution of higher education.

It's time to stop breaking the promises you make to yourself to eat right, exercise and develop healthier habits. For the next three months, from 05 September 2011 to 05 December 2011, MISSION: INCREDIBLE focuses on getting healthier one day at a time. There is only one rule: do a little more today than you did yesterday to keep your promise of taking better physical care of yourself. Follow that one rule - EVERYDAY - and the changes you see in three months will be incredible.
We're all at very different exercise levels and we all have different weight targets, but it's always nice to know you've got company on the journey. We'll focus on three goals as part of our daily check-in: G1 - diet (the good, the bad and the ugly); G2 - exercise (your physical exercise for that day); and, G3 - healthy habits (things we adopt or learn along the way that help). Join us and leave your comments below!
Days 6 and 7
Football is back and my two favorite teams, the New Orleans Saints and the LSU Tigers both had exciting games this past week. Which brings us to tailgating and getting into the "spirits" of the game. I took a look at the calories in typical tailgating drinks and it wasn't always pretty.
My personal favorite, a Cosmopolitan, can have per drink anywhere from a skinny 72 calories (Ewww!) to over 300 calories (Wow barkeep, that tastes like heaven!).
Fruit juice generally contains around 120 calories per 8 oz. serving, but mixers can have even more, especially if they're loaded with sugar. Sodas have around 150 calories per 8 oz. serving. Tonic adds about 80 calories per 8 oz. serving, but club soda adds nothing to the calorie count.
Calorie count is almost always a rough estimate, but typically a single 1 1/2 oz. serving of 80-proof whiskey, vodka, rum or gin contains approximately 100 calories. Move up to 90-proof and you're looking at about 110 calories, and 100-proof contains approximately 125 calories.
Beer100.com estimates an average domestic beer contains from 120 to 170 calories. Toss back three or four of those and you're looking at an extra day of exercise just to get rid of the beer calories, not to mention the overindulging we can do with hot wings, potato chips and other tailgating snacks.
I didn't attend the LSU game and the Saints played on Thursday, so I avoided any tailgating pitfalls this weekend, but it was a little boring not watching the games with a crowd. We're taking a baseline weight measurement today, just for the sake of being able to gauge our progress, not for posting or comparing to others.
Here's my multi-day check-in:
G1: Lots of fruit and vegetables added to the diet over the weekend. Foods like cantaloupe, arugula, green and yellow squash went with boiled eggs instead of bacon. I drank orange juice a couple times per day. I did have a slice of pizza for lunch a couple of those days, but balanced it out with fresh pears and peaches and baked tilapia with sautéed shrimp with no added oils, a green salad and cantaloupe for dinner all three days. I also made sure to drink water throughout the day.
G2: Four-mile walks with stretching the first two days, but complete rest on Day 7. I will resume four-mile walks on the track this week and add in yoga and Aerobarre (a ballet-boxing mix) training three times per week.
If you start watching football early on a Sunday by tuning into pregame commentary and carry on until the end of the Sunday Night Football game, that's a long time lounging on your rump. Most of us do not have a top-shelf booty like Serena Williams, so sitting for that long is dangerous. In the words of my friend, Lucia A., "Serena's DONK ain't even playing fair!!"
Got squats?

While Indiana Jones has recently been added to the Disney catalogue following the purchase of Lucasfilm, before this time, Indiana Jones has inspired a couple of Vinylmation's. The Park 9 9" which is based on the Temple of the Forbidden Eye ride at Disneyland in Los Angeles and the 3" from the Temple of Peril ride at Disneyland Paris.
Indiana Jones has been a main stay at the different Disney parks but each park has its own attraction, except for Tokyo's Disney Sea which is entitled Temple of the Crystal Skull but is identical to the Disneyland Los Angeles ride but opened a nearly a decade later in 2001.
Both of these attractions feature a EMV (Enhanced Motor Vehicle) which guide visitors through a Indy adventure featuring caverns of bubbling death, screaming undead mummies, erupting lava, evil wraiths, giant snakes, collapsing bridges and more. The vehicle is also used for the Dinosaur attraction at the Animal Kingdom
Over in Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World, Indiana Jones is a stunt show which feature various stunts based on some of the key points from the Raiders of the Lost Arc movie and originally opened in 1989.
While over in Disneyland Paris, there was originally supposed to be a Indiana Jones themed area within Adventureland however due to budget restraints, those plans were cancelled and a looped rollercoaster was created, where guests sit in small "mine carts" and is based loosely on the classic Temple of Doom scene . It keeps the Indiana Jones feel with the surroundings but doesn't feature a full back story like the one in Disneyland. In 2000, they altered the ride to be able to go backwards to give a different experience and the design of the ride is also located in Disney Sea in Japan but under the name of Raging Spirits which isn't connected to the Indiana Jones series.
With Disney now owning the Indiana Jones brand, its much more probable we will start to see many more Indy based Vinyls in the future.

SALT LAKE CITY — As the mercury begins to dip week by week, it will not be long before Old Man Winter wraps his frosty arms around the Beehive State.
With snow already at higher elevations, it's not too late to start getting ready for the inevitability of winter in Utah, and that means people must prepare their vehicles, their homes and themselves for the cold.
A few well-placed preparations will save money and hardship in the coming months.
Preparing homes
At home, little things such as insulating wall sockets, changing regular bulbs to compact fluorescent or LED light bulbs, insulating windows and wrapping up water heaters can lead to savings on energy bills. Installing added insulation can save the average homeowner $50 to $100 per year, according to Questar Gas.
Also, insulate any water lines that run along exterior walls so the water supply will be less likely to freeze. To the extent possible, weatherproof the home by adding weather-stripping, insulation, insulated doors and storm windows or thermal-pane windows.
Those who plan to use a fireplace or wood stove for emergency heating need to have their chimneys or flues inspected each year to detect any buildup of soot. That can prevent a house fire. Also, those using a fireplace, wood stove or kerosene heater should install a smoke detector and a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector near the area to be heated. They should be tested monthly, and the batteries should be replaced twice a year.
"Get your furnace tuned up so that it's working at its peak efficiency," added Robert West, Home Depot sales specialist. "And change your furnace filter often — every three months."
Applying "shrink wrap" around windows will also provide a low-cost method of insulation, West said.
"It still effectively helps (on energy savings)," he said. "Anything you can add on is that much better."
Attic insulation also is an effective way to lower energy costs, West said.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, the ability to feel a change in temperature decreases with age, leaving older people more susceptible to health problems caused by cold. For those over 65 years old, place an easy-to-read thermometer in an indoor location where it can be seen frequently, and check the temperature of the home often during winter months.
For those with pets, the CDC advises owners to bring them indoors, if possible. Those who cannot bring them inside should provide adequate shelter to keep them warm and make sure that they have access to unfrozen water.
Those who need to shovel or push snow may consider purchasing a working snowblower. Used snowblowers are also an option with tune-ups for snowblowers typically ranging from $50 to $100.
West recommends keeping a supply of "snow melt" or rock salt to keep driveways and walkways clear.
"You have to be careful because salt can ruin shrubbery where snow melt typically doesn't," he said, noting that too much salt can also damage concrete.
Preparing vehicles
During winter, keep the gas tank near full to help avoid ice in the tank and fuel lines. Also, replace any worn tires and check the air pressure in the tires.
"Every 10 degrees the temperature drops, a tire will lose 1 to 2 pounds of air," said Derek Edwards, sales manager for Big O Tires in Sandy. "As it gets colder, tire pressure is constantly dropping, so consumers will want to make sure to inflate tires to the proper air pressure and check them every other week."
Overinflated or underinflated tires can have a potentially dangerous impact on a vehicle's handling, Edwards said. And that can lead to crashes and costly repairs.
"You want as much tire surface touching the road as possible," he said.
Some drivers may choose to switch to snow tires in the winter, Edwards said, which do provide better traction in wet or snowy conditions. But having well-maintained tires with good treads is important if snow tires are not an option.
Wiper blades and batteries also are key items to have in good working order during the winter months, he said.
In addition, every fall, have the radiator system serviced or check the antifreeze level with an antifreeze tester. Add antifreeze as needed, and replace windshield-wiper fluid with a wintertime mixture. It's simple prevention that can be a life-saver.
Preparing yourself
Being able to manage expenses in winter can be a challenge for many individuals and families. The best way to handle costs is to follow a budget year-round, said Jerry Van Os, associate dean of the Gore School of Business at Westminster College.
"You can (often) anticipate what your higher expenses are, like electricity and natural gas costs," Van Os said. Arranging "budget billing" with utilities could help spread costs over the entire year and prevent large spikes that can occur in winter, he said.
Most utilities offer plans that allow customers who have 12 months of billing history to pay the same amount each month. The calculation is usually made by dividing the total of the prior 12 months' charges into 12 equal billing payments, including an adjustment for rate increases. Such plans can aid families in better managing their monthly expenses, Van Os explained.1 comment on this story
"It spreads the cost over time, and you're not paying really exorbitant amounts during the peak periods," he said. "It provides for better planning purposes."
Van Os recommended putting aside money for unexpected expenses, if possible. Paying for something like a furnace repair can be costly, and having some funds set aside for such things can prevent increasing debt.
"If you anticipate something like routine maintenance in your budget … you make sure that you anticipate before you have to react," he said.

= sec(u) + csc(u)cot(u)
= 1/cos(u) + [1/sin(u)]*[cos(u)/sin(u)]
= 1/cos(u) + [cos(u)/(sin(u))^2]
= [(sin(u))^2 + (cos(u))^2]/[cos(u)*[sin(u)]^2]
= 1/[cos(u)*[sin(u)]^2]
= sec(u)*[csc(u)]^2
= right hand side
sorry about the bad syntax. hope it makes sense!
Now, sin(x) is the opposite side over the hypotenuse. And because the trigonometric functions are defined by the unit circle, we can set our triangle on the unit circle. Since the radius of the unit circle is 1, our hypotenuse will be 1. So sin(x) = opposite side over 1, so it is just the opposite side. This means the sin(x) gives you the y value of your triangle (because the length of the opposite side is how tall the triangle is). And cos(x) = adjacent length over hypotenuse, and thus is just the length of your triangle.
So we see that we can plug these values into the Pythagorean theorem, length = cos(x), and height=sin(x)
(because 1 is the length of the radius on the unit circle, and that is our hypotenuse, and 1 squared is 1)
So our equation is
1. Convert from trig functions to length ratios
2. Multiply by
3. Divide by
4. Convert back to trig functions
5. Subtract
6. Because
7. And divide

Taking the notion that somehow the world of poetry slams and the brooding, emotionally crippled poets who lurk therein can be remotely interesting, Fighting Words sets itself up to be the Karate Kid III of poetry movies. Jeff Stearns stars as Jake Thompson, a brooding poet, who also happens to be an emotional cripple, struggling to pay the bills while remaining true to his poetic soul. This means that Jake has high moral standards and a strict code of ethics that precludes him from ever selling out (and, ironically, from writing anything good). Marni Elliot (Tara D'Agostino), a poet rep who really knows the ins and outs of the poetry world sees something special in Jake. And by "special" I don't mean "retarded," although it would take a mentally handicapped person to think Jake's poetry was anything other than crap. But because this hackneyed story needs to move forward, even if it's at a painfully slow and predictable pace, Marni decides to help mold Jake's career. Things become complicated when Marni's superstar poet boyfriend, David (C. Thomas Howell), is thrown into the mix. You see, David is one of the obstacles in the way of Marni and Jake becoming a couple. The other things standing in the way of the romance are Marni's obviously shitty taste in both men and poets, and a plot twist that gives the film a tragic, disease-of-the-week feel. But because this film does not fear to wallow in a cesspool of predictable clichés (not to mention bad writing, pedestrian acting, and an overall lifeless filmmaking aesthetic that begs to be put out of its misery), Fighting Words will most likely satisfy audiences who don't like to be challenged.
To say that I hated Fighting Words would be an understatement. It was like watching a live performance of bad poetry, only worse. The only good thing that can be said about the movie is that turning it off is not quite as rude as getting up and walking out of a live performance. Writer-director E. Paul Edwards is under the impression that poetry can be as exciting as say washing dishes. And to be fair, I have seen some films about poetry that didn't suck (the documentary Slam Nation comes to mind). But in the "skillful" hands of Edwards, every aspect of this movie becomes hard to endure (although, in all fairness, Edwards is not alone in making this film bad). Joining him is the cast, who all seem to be under the impressiion that they are making a good film, but simply can't figure out how to do it (except of course for Howell, who sucks in a class all by himself).
There was not one moment of Fighting Words that I found entertaining. Seriously. It was that bad. But to be honest, I was entertained by the trailer. And the thing that makes the trailer so great is that the word "opportunity" is spelled "opertunity." Clearly, any filmmakers that don't take time to make sure that the titles cards in the trailer that flash across the screen have proper spelling, are also filmmakers that don't take the time to make sure the movie itself isn't a piece of crap. Of course, watching the trailer for Fighting Words only requires a two-minute commitment to figure this out, whereas watching the whole movie is 88-minutes of torture.
Fighting Words is presented in 16:9 anamorphic widescreen. The picture quality is good, in that it is clean and free of an noticeable flaws or defects. At the same time, the lighting is a bit flat, and the movie has an overall lifeless look that can be found in many low budget indie flicks of this nature.
Fighting Words is presented in 2.0 Dolby Digital. The sound levels are fine, and the audio mix is good, but the dialogue is trite and banal, which hardly makes it worth listening to.
Bonus Material:
There are cast and crew interviews, but I won't lie: I didn't bother with any of them. Why? Because I hated this movie and didn't care to know anything more about it once I'd watched it.
Final Thoughts:
Here's a poem I wrote to describe my feelings about this movie: Fighting Words, is a big fat turd, a movie about poetry. The script is bad, the story's sad, and it bored the Hell out of me.

text: Hi Everyone, I am using WMP to sync pics, vids and music to the phone and noticed that the album art looks horrible (low definition). I always added my own album art to iTunes and on the iPhone it looks clear and crisp. I figure that iTunes optimizes the photo for the iPhone but i'm trying to now optimize it for the Captivate and am running into a wall. Has anyone else experienced this and fixed the problem? Thanks in advance!

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for River of Words, Berkeley, CA, USA
River of Words provides a wealth of curriculum resources to teachers to support environmental education through art and writing. I found out about their amazing resources and student art and poetry contest in 1998 and have been sharing the wealth with my students ever since. River of Words is a trailblazer in Environmental Education. Their international contest is extraordinary in the ways that it touches and inspires students and teachers around the world. Their books are treasures for the classroom and I share them each year with a new group of students to inspire THEIR vision for preserving, conserving and treasuring our natural resources around the world.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The inspiration that students literally draw from their books of student art and poetry about water resources. My student artwork is grounded in the rich tradition that River of Words compiles from children around the world to celebrate a world of beauty.
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
sharing the beautiful illustrations by children around the globe "picturing" the treasures of the natural world.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
helpful, thoughtful, and passionate about the natural world.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
bring the world to awareness about living sustainably and the importance of preserving our natural resources. They would create a world of artists and writers to preserve, conserve, and share resources responsibly.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About once a year
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

Plains Wild Indigo Baptisia leucophaea
Pea family — Fabaceae
Slides: (click for larger view)
There are several species of wild indigo in Texas, and they have their flower groups arranged in differing ways on the plant. Perhaps the most unusual arrangement is found in this species, in which the cream-colored flower groups are borne laterally near the ground in the spring. It grows in open areas, roadsides, and especially overgrazed pastures in the eastern part of the state, and with a little imagination the plants almost appear to be the ones doing the grazing!

(Carson City, NV) — As Carson City residents begin to recover from Tuesday's deadly shooting, the restaurant where it took place may never open its doors again. The IHOP has been fenced off and the windows remain boarded up. City Manager Larry Werner tells the "Review-Journal" no decision has been made about the future of the restaurant where 32-year-old Eduardo Sencion shot and killed four people before taking his own life. Werner says razing the IHOP may be an option.

TAYLORSVILLE — Jalissa Bagley had not hit a shot all game. But when it mattered most, she came through for her team.
The Alta senior made two huge baskets at the end of regulation to send her team's first-round playoff game to overtime, and the Hawks went on to beat Pleasant Grove 71-64 in OT at the girls 5A state basketball tournament Monday evening.
"It was kind of a shock because I played terrible most of the game," said Bagley, who finished with 10 points. "This is my first state game — nerves kind of got the best of me. So when I hit that shot, I didn't even know what was going on. Then I realized we were going into overtime, and it was a big deal."
Alta established its largest lead of seven points early in the game, pulling ahead 29-22 with 3:24 left in the first half. The Hawks' spark was ignited by junior Chloe Ferre, who hit four 3-pointers in the first half and finished with five 3s and 17 total points.
"That's what she does," Alta coach Kristi Jensen said of Ferre's early scoring. "She's the kind of person that's not afraid. She doesn't get jitters; she'll hit that last-second shot. She's the kid that's not afraid. She doesn't get worried. She just goes and plays."
The Vikings responded to the early deficit with a 10-2 run to retake a one-point lead, and the teams were within a few points for the remainder of regulation. Pleasant Grove seemingly took the lead for good when forward Lilly Evans hit two free throws to give her team a 53-52 lead with 1:24 remaining, and then regained possession when Alyssa Crabb stuffed an Alta shot 15 seconds later.
That is when Bagley sprang into action. With 38 seconds left, all 5-foot-6 of the guard outrebounded the Vikings and put the ball back in to give Alta back the lead.
Pleasant Grove leading scorer Megan Wilde, who finished with 25 points, then hit a 3-pointer at the other end, setting up Bagley's dramatic final shot.
"I just told them to run our offense," Jensen said of how she set up the final sequence. "We had 16 seconds. We didn't have to draw up some special play. (Bagley) was the one who had the open shot, and she took it."
With time winding down, Bagley attacked the lane and then pulled up for the jump shot. The ball hit every piece of the rim before finally falling through.
"It felt off," she remembered afterward. "I didn't think it was going in."Comment on this story
The score added an extra five minutes to the game, which the Hawks completely dominated from the foul line. Bagley, Rachel Jenson, Adrianna Jensen, and Rachel McDonald each connected on freebies as Alta finished 12 of 15 in the extended time and 24 of 30 for the game.
"Our last game, we missed 20 foul shots," Jensen, who was clearly pleased with Monday's performance, said. "We've really been talking about it, working on them, and they came out poised and composed and ready to go."
The Hawks now face Layton in a quarterfinal matchup at Salt Lake Community College on Wednesday in the 2:30 p.m. game.

Beloit homicide victims were shot
Steve Benton
Tuesday, July 6, 2010
The bodies of 27 year-old Cortez Johnson and 24 year-old Latoya Payton, both of Beloit, were found inside a vehicle on the city's near West side early Sunday morning.
Tyler says this was not a murder suicide, and it doesn't appear to be gang related. He says he thinks the victims were targeted and the incident was not random.

JEREMY HOBSON: Verizon is going to roll out its new, faster wireless network on Sunday. It's called 4G. Only thing is, it's not technically 4G according to the United Nations agency that sets the global standards for these things.
Marketplace's Nancy Marshall Genzer has more.
AMBIENT OF VERIZON COMMERCIAL: Lightning fast. Verizon 4G LTE.
NANCY MARSHALL GENZER: Verizon advertises its version of 4G service as a bolt of lightning. But compared to true 4G, it's more like a sparkler. The UN has strict technical standards for a 4G network. Verizon doesn't meet them. Neither do any of the other wireless carriers advertising 4G. Charles Golvin is a tech analyst with Forrester Research. He says it's all about marketing.
CHARLES GOLVIN: Using the term 4G as really a marketing term that means some kind of better service than what you get on 3G today.
Verizon says it doesn't matter what you call its new service. It's still a lot faster than 3G. Lindsay Notwell is in charge of marketing new Verizon technology. He says the new network will let you download things up to ten times faster.
LINDSAY NOTWELL: Twenty pictures in a minute as opposed to 20 pictures in ten minutes.
If you're thinking about holding out for the real 4G, don't. It won't be available until late in the next decade.
In Washington, I'm Nancy Marshall Genzer for Marketplace.

In my life I have received three awards.
They cannot be hung on a wall,
or put away in a drawer
to collect dust and be forgotten.
My awards were given to me in 1977, 1982, and 1998.
The awards I'm speaking of are my three precious children.
My first son gives me his encouragement to achieve my goals,
the same encouragement which he says I gave him when he was growing up.
Everyday he shows me, through his strength,
that I should never give up trying to achieve my dream.
My second son, with his warm smile and generous spirit,
is a constant inspiration to me.
When I hear his voice,
I always feel reassured that everything is going to be okay.
My last award quite a surprise, and a delightful one as well,
my daughter, arrived just at a time when I had lost my spark for life.
I have discovered my own unique creativity, and want to share this gift with her.
Together, she and I are exploring the joy of life.

Operating System: The laptop comes out of the shop standard with Windows 7. I find that although this is not the newest one on the market anymore, it is very easy to use and doesn't include many of the issues that people find with the new Windows 8.
RAM: 4gb which is plenty for anyone who is performing normal everyday tasks
Hard Drive: 500GB which is massive. Even after 3 years I have not filled this and I am a Photographer and a Web Designer.
Size: 17.3 inches. This is very good for the display, however it can make it a little annoying when travelling.
There is also a built in camera which can be used as a webcam, a bluray player and 3 USB ports.
It runs off an Intel Core i5 processor.
This can be purchased for an average £700 which is a little pricey, however the quality and performance is what you pay for and it is well worth it if you are looking for a laptop in this price range.
..::My Opinion::..
I have owned this laptop for around 3 years now and I must say it has served me well. As you can see from the spec mentioned above, the RAM and harddrive are way over what anyone would need for performing standard tasks. My main issue with this product is the battery life. To start with, it was excellent however over the first few months it definitely started to decrease in full life. I know it is now 3 years old, however when I use it, it has to be constantly plugged in, if not a full life will last around 15 minutes maximum.
I have used this laptop for gaming, webdesign, photo editing, and normal everyday tasks. I feel that it really has served me well over the years and I would definitely recommend it.
a great looking laptop to start with even before its on! there is 4gb of ram which is plenty for anyone to perform normal tasks on a laptop, and a whopping 500gb of memory, there will be loads these laptop is perfectly designed for gaming alongside its graphics its perfect! it comes in various different colours however i would only personally get it in black, as i think other colours may become out-dated and old. But the sleek futuristic design of this laptop means it will be fashionable for a long time. Also its has the new windows seven. Also a 17 inch widescreen which is pretty big for a laptop screen, and good for gaming and watching videos. It also has a few good features such as a more colourful keyboard skins and other things to make these laptops more colourful and vibrant which is helping them stand out from there competitors. however after a period of time the battery life becomes shorter
I own this type of laptop for about a week and so far it didn't let me down,actually it surprised me.As far as performance goes it's been very good.It has a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics
card, a full 1080 HD display, and Blu-Ray drive so it will more than likely please even the hardcore gamers and movie buffs.I played Crysis with the details at Ultra High I managed to get 25-30 fps which is not bad at all.Hd movies play very well on it and the display is crystal clear.The keyboard is very comfortable and I managed to get used to it very quickly.With the 2.26 GHz Intel Core i5 processor you can do multitasking without any problems.The only minus is the battery life which is under 2 hours but considering it's a multimedia laptop the battery life isn't all that bad.Overall this is a sleek laptop with a classy design,a 17'3 " widescreen,great for multitasking,games,movies so it will please everyone and for the price it goes it's a real bargain,worth every penny.
With thousands of laptops and computers to choose between on the market today, it`s not easy finding the best one for you, therefore research and information coming from other sources might prove highly important! I bought my Sony Vaio from the E Series after a friend recommended it to me, and I have been very pleased with it ever since!
First of all, this computer costs more than many other laptops out there, I paid 805.99 for mine. However, sometimes you have to spend a little extra in order to receive the best brand and quality, so I haven`t really given it much thought afterwards...
This laptop comes with Windows 7, a program I find very easy to learn and use, filled with features and programs that should appeal to users of all ages... I used to have Windows Vista on my old laptop, but after having used Windows 7 for about four months, the memory of Vista is certainly not one that impresses me... As for sound in terms of listening to music, watching dvd`s and playing games, I am delighted to inform that this laptop has that bit covered, and with style! The sound is very well balanced and comfortable to the ears, very satisfied with that! The laptop also has a 1 GB video RAM memory, so if you enjoy playing games, this laptop might suite you well! With a 17.3 inch display with a 1920x 1080 pixels resulotion, the screen offers very clear and wonderful pictures and images...
I must briefly mention the design of this laptop, it`s quite stylish and modern! Clear, classic lines and colors, the Sony Vaio looks very good, even amongst some of the real diamonds of its brand!
Pretty much the only negative thing to mention about this laptop, is that the battery life is not at all great! I mean, it`s somewhat good, but for a laptop of this overall superb quality, I expected the lasting of battery to be much higher, therefore a bit disappointed on that part...
To conclude, this laptop is great for work, watching movies, listening to music, surfing the net and all of that, and the only disadvantage I can think of, is that the battery life will not impress!
When purchasing this laptop I set myself a budget on what I was going to spend but also what I wanted for the price I was going to pay for the Laptop. After looking at different alternatives I decided to purchase this one as for the price it was very good and it offered everything that I needed.
For this product I ended up paying around £640 from the Sony online store which is an extremelly good price for a product which will without doubt do everything that you need it to possibly do.
For the model I purchased it came with a 15.5" screen but this laptop also comes with a 14" and 17". It also came with 500gb hard drive which is free at the moment so I highly recommend purchasing one soon. It also comes with 3gb of memory but remember both of these things are expandable for extra money.
This laptop is so easy to use as you would expect from a sony. Once switching it on you have to do a simple installation process which will take around 10-15minutes but after that you are ready to go and do what you want.
This is where the Vaio really shines because the graphics on the screen are fantastic and one of the best graphics I have ever seen on a laptop. Alot of other cheaper laptops have very poor graphics so be careful when purchasing one.
Battery Life
The battery life on the Vaio is not outstanding but it will do aslong as you can charge it up before you use it for a day. I currently just leave it plugged in so it does not effect me as much. You should be fine with it however as I have seen it worse on other laptops ut better on others.
Upgrades on this laptop are available when purchasing through the online store. This is a very good thing for poeple who know what they are upgrading to because it gives you the chance to increase hard drive capacity and internal memory for an extra price.
Overall I would say that this laptop for the price that it is can not be beaten. For anyone in that price range I would without hesitation recommend it to them as I think it has been a bargain paying what I have for it. With it being very light and easy to carry round you can also take it anywhere you want which you can't do with others.
Thank You, Hope This Helps

With the trend of laptops getting ever more advanced and powerful in ratio to their size, the advantages of having a desktop PC as the main computer in your family and/or business are becoming relatively minimal.
Laptops are showing that they can be the main computer of choice, not just the travel companion - with products like the new SONY VAIO E SERIES bringing both colour (oh yes, Sony have gone rainbow on this one - with choices from pink to blue to good ol' black) and performance into the mix. The VPC-EC1S1E/BJ member of the E Series is in black, but I always was a more subtle type anyway (honest).
Yes. But not because its bad. In fact, quite the opposite. I want it to replace my desktop computer!
The being said, the VPC-EC1S1E/BJ was designed well for travels, and it has accompanied me mostly outside of the comforts of home.
This laptop is crammed full of features, meaning its not the lightest on its feet tipping the scales at just over 2.7kg. In fact, its desktop aspirations are evident in its measurable size (248mm x 31mm x 369mm). But trust me, its still very slim and chic - and visually quite beautiful. Sony have certainly not held back on aesthetics with the E series - you could spend a fair while studying its many slight and appealing curves and contours.
But after you've done that, does it matter where it really counts - inside?
Inside is at the forefront of modern parts for medium-to-high end laptop. It is slightly on the heavy side of RAM (Memory usage) from the start-up, but you're getting a good standard for that little bit extra load. And with a very ample 4GB RAM as standard, it takes to your tasks quite swiftly and with dedication. Even gamers will be glad to know it has been tested and taunted with some heavy loads, and came through admirably (a Football Manager 2010 game on full database was not a problem on the memory front, whilst a few graphic-heavy First-Person Shooters served no worries for its Intel core i5-430M processor and a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics processor with 1 GB video RAM memory.)
7 is the magic number
No Vista. Thank god. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Operating System means its fully loaded. This is just the Operating System mind you, you'd have to aquire and install Microsoft Office et all after you've purchased E Series VAIO (which is of course standard fare with all new computers - unless you're lucky)
The E series has a couple of interesting features, notably a 'Web' button that loads a Linux-based graphical user interface that allows you to browse the Internet without having to wait for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit to load. There's also a fancy 'Web clipping' tool that allows you to keep track of anything interesting you come across during your browsing session, and gain access to these things from any other PC or Web-connected mobile phone.
The Tech Bit
The laptop consists of 3 MB L2 cache memory, 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM with 1066 MHz speed and a 500 GB hard disk drive. It supports BD ROM, DVD+-RW, +-R DL and RAM optical format. In everyday speak, thats not too bad at all. Ultimately fast and effective, even though it may never quite win Gold in a race.
The 17.3 inch display with 16:9 image aspect ratio and 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution is a real treat to the eyes with its excellent image clarity. This is of utmost importance if you use a computer alot, and a lot of effort has gone into this from Sony to make it a stand out feature.
The connectors include 1 microphone jack, 1 headphone jack, HDMI output, 3 USB ports, VGA output and an express card slot. It supports 802.11 b/g/n wireless LAN and 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000-Base-T Ethernet.
The built in speakers ensures crystal clear sound output and the built in microphone enables sound input. This unit also features a 0.3 megapixels image sensor.
Battery life is good, not great. But that can be expected considering its relatively good price range. Good value for money can be had with a laptop that you can sense will last a long time.
Palmed off
The textured effect palm-area was supposed to be a master-stoke (no pun intended). But the seemingly clever touch is in fact mildly irritating, evoking an image in the back of your mind of nails on a chalkboard. Although not that horrific, the part where you connect with the laptop the most (i.e. the mouse pad) feels rough and frankly, wrong. Still, looks nice though (says the designer at Sony).
All-in-all, laptop/desktop whatever you use it for - the
SONY VAIO E SERIES VPC-EC1S1E/BJ comes out on top. Just buy a mouse to go with it!
This laptop is great, its fast and reliable, the graphics are out of this world, I am a heavy gamer playing some of the most graphics hungry games and this works and charm, runs smooth as butter on the wireless. The DVD burn is as good as the name claims to be but there's not really room for complaint when everything else is above and beyond. I would also advice a different windows if possible (it was for me, I bought it from pcworld) as vista is very very harddrive and ram hungry and makes the laptop lag more than needed. The battery life is absolutely extreme! I used this on a 9 hour coach journey turning it off and on about three times and it made it through the whole journey with much battery loss. The only thing I would say truly dissapointed me was the mouse pad, as it felt rather rough to the hand.
I have four laptops within my household, and this one has to be the best, had it for almost two years now, and although atlittle slow at times now, becuase of all the music i have on it, i have no complaints.
What im most pleased with was the qaulity of the charger, becuase with some of the cheaper laptops i have, iv had to replace of fix the charger for them at least twice.
Its great for watching movies on with a screen of that size. I have a netbook that i use when travelling, and normally go to watch a movie on the train, but i much prefer the lager screen of this laptop.
I spose a bad point would be the price, its quite expensive considering there are alot of really good cheap deals out there on simialar laptops these days, but i think for you get what your paying for, good memory, stylish and sleek and run very fast when i first got it.
For those who travel a lot, this laptop has been specially designed for this people. It has Windows 7 premium built in with 64 bit OS.
Your tasks are done very simply, with the Intel HM55 Express Chipset, powered by Intel Core i5-430M processor with 2.26GHZ speed!
The Sony Vaio VP-EPC1S1E is also provided with the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics processor with 1GB video RAM memory.
The images of this laptop are an excellent feature with 17.3 inch display with 16.9 image aspect ratio with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution!
With the built in speakers giving you crystal clear sound with a microphone, it enables sound input. A 0.3 megapixel image sensor is also includes in this unit.
This laptop provides you with a multi touch touchpad and a keyboard. All together, it weighs 3.3 KG due to the unit being 273.8 mm in depth, 31.9mm in height and 409.1 mm in width!
Overall, I think this is worth your money. Its appearance is professional with a high performance.
I just love Sony, I dont really know if they are better at making laptops or tv's , or just highly skilled at both, anyhoo!
This is some laptop, sporting an Intel i5 chip (woow), blu ray , dedicated graphics card, windows 7, 4 gig RAM (DDR3 RAM so it even faster than DDR2) and its 64 bit which means windows 7 will actually recognise all the 4 gig of ram.
as soon as you switch the thing on you realise how fast, it actually is. When you go online it really will make your web browsing seem like a blur to be honest. I mean we all know windows 7 is fast anyway, but this if unbelivable to be honest
The i5 is clocked at 2.5 ghz which is no slouch, the screen is as always with vaio s impressive. The one thing i will say is you get a very pronounced richness from this particular screen probably because it is LED backlit.
I have tried the blu ray on a couple of disks, one was "UP" and i have to say it probably the best picture I have seen in the uk on any device, simply breathtaking.
All I'll say is this laptop is near damn it perfect, even down to the keyboard those individually spaced keys to its bright, delightful webcamera.
The only thing might be, it may be too powerful for some people!

Names In The News
Names In The NewsPublished February 20, 2012
In Raleigh, J.P. Giglio noted during Saturday's Florida State-N.C. State men's basketball game, referee KARL HESS stopped the game and asked that former NBAers CHRIS CORCHIANI and TOM GUGLIOTTA be "removed from their front-row seats behind the scorers' table." About two hours after the game, Corchiani "was still looking for a reason why Hess stopped the game and asked him and Gugliotta to leave their seats." He said, "We were just fans, cheering and yelling like everybody else." After the game, Hess "declined to offer an explanation for his decision." N.C. State AD DEBBIE YOW "asked the ACC for an explanation and said she talked with" conference Commissioner JOHN SWOFFORD and Associate Commissioner KARL HICKS. The ACC on Saturday night issued a statement that said that Hess "followed the rule but not the protocol of the rule, which was to permit the game management, or an N.C. State official, to address Corchiani and Gugliotta before they were ejected." ACC Officiating Coordinator JOHN CLOUGHERTY said, "We will re-communicate this policy with all officials to ensure proper protocol is followed" (Raleigh NEWS & OBSERVER, 2/19).
GROWING INTEREST: In N.Y., Klein & Hackel noted as part of USA Hockey's fifth annual Hockey Weekend Across America, more than 200 rinks Saturday "hosted free clinics, at which an estimated 4,000 youngsters played on the ice for the first time." That "reflects hockey's recent growth spurt among young Americans." Last season, USA Hockey reported 105,934 registered players 8 years old and under, a 10% "rise over the previous season and an" 18% increase since '07-08. What is "most remarkable is that the growth of the last five years has come when few new rinks have been built" in the U.S. (N.Y. TIMES, 2/19).
GIVING BACK: In Orlando, Kate Santich noted in the eight years since Magic C DWIGHT HOWARD signed with the Magic as the No. 1 draft pick, he has "emerged as the most charitable player in team history and certainly one of the most in the NBA itself." Howard's D12 Foundation "celebrated its one-year anniversary this week with a party for 300 kids in downtown Orlando." Howard on Friday said, "This is my way of showing God that I'm thankful for him blessing me with the gift to play basketball." For five years, including the "past four in a row, Howard has won the Rich & Helen DeVos Community Enrichment Award, given to the player who has given back most to the community" (ORLANDO SENTINEL, 2/18).
INVALUABLE LESSONS: N.Y.-based marketing company Translation CEO STEVE STOUTE was featured as part of the N.Y. Times' Corner Office column. He said of the lessons sports has taught him, "Sports force you to be transparent with yourself. You can't avoid the fact that you missed a tackle or that you're not as fast as the guy next to you. Either you decide that you're going to practice to improve, or you are going to accept that you are not as good or talented as the person next to you. The clock doesn't lie, and the competitive nature of a sport doesn't lie" (N.Y. TIMES, 2/19).
QUITE THE GUEST LIST: The 16th annual "Power of Love," a tribute to former boxer MUHAMMAD ALI was held on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden. LARRY KING, JOHN LEGEND, SLASH, SIEGFRIED and ROY, JAMES GANDOLFINI, SAMUEL L. JACKSON, JIM BROWN, ANDRE AGASSI, STEFFI GRAF, KARL MALONE, MANNY PACQUIAO, SUGAR RAY LEONARD, THOMAS HEARNS and GEORGE FOREMAN were among those in attendance. The gala celebration will benefit the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, along with the Muhammad Ali Foundation. More than 2,000 people "paid a minimum of $1,500 and as much as $10,000 apiece" for the event (LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 2/19).
NAMES: Facebook Founder MARK ZUCKERBURG was spotted in the stands at yesterday's Mavericks-Knicks game (N.Y. POST, 2/20). Also in attendance at yesterday's game were actor KEVIN COSTNER and singer SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY (N.Y. POST, 2/20).

Orange County, California - Local talk radio spin-doctors managed to take a break from insulting their listeners and fan the historical flames of racial, religious, nationalistic, and now economic, tension growing between Mexico and the United States today instead. Their exclusive news scoop: Orange County Superior Court, California, is outsourcing work its in-house traffic ticket division should be doing to begin with to contractor, Cal Coast Data Entry in Cerritos, California, which is in turn is subcontracting with a company in Nogales, Mexico.
"I had no idea my private information was being processed in Mexico," said Orange County resident, Ralph Wolfgang. "I thought it was being processed in India just like my Internet server account."
Tipped off by law enforcement officer and an employee of the Courthouse informed the local talk radio spin-doctors that have the conservative radio airwaves abuzz about the above aforementioned activity without providing the listeners with any additional information to enlighten their listeners on the subject beyond inciting their passions.
So far removed are the jobs of Orange County Superior Courthouse clerks, pushed aside, after acting as convenient initial impetus, from the discussion that no further consideration is given to them. Local talk radio spin-doctors instead focus the discussion on the outsourcing contractor subcontracting to Mexico and nothing else. Sadly, local TV picked up the story, which have done nothing to further the discussion as well. Now the story threatens to go nationwide depending on how slow a news day, or temperament of the news director, to continue the disservice of further failing to inform the public of the big picture.
"When I think, that in this age of terrorism that we are sending our private information just a few hundred miles away form us to Mexico, when it could be sent thousands of mile away to India -- it just gets my blood boiling," said Antonio Genovese.
"What about the Chinese?" said Gordon Smyth. "Has anybody stopped to think about the jobs those Mexicans are stealing away from them too. They could use the work. We don't have to send it just to India."
Orange County Superior Courthouse officials refused comment except to say they have no plans to discontinue the practice. County Supervisors position themselves to disavow the practice locally, while national politicians continue to push for controlled immigration with a Berlin like wall on the boarder and impose substantial fines with no real plans to address the underlining causes of illegal immigration, but rather plan to continue to exploit it
"It's all perfectly legal," said a political science professor at the Cassandra Institute of Foresight. "The NAFTA agreement passed in 1994, which was supported and passed by both Democrats and Republican parties, ensures that. All this other stuff is just a way to get the people to lose sight of the real issues and get Trojan Horse laws passed and politicians running on the old law and order ticket elected, all hollow promises of change."

To Gaze into the Jaws of Camel Spiders Is to Gaze into the Jaws of Hell
Camel spiders have a lot of different names and a lot of different forms. Their different forms have been noted, but not studied in depth, partially because their chief distinguishing characteristic was their mouth-parts, and no one wanted to look at those. Until now.

The family of a woman who set up an alternative therapy clinic in Gosberton Risegate has spoken of her care for other people after her death.
A memorial service for Jennie Charleston-Stokes (70) was held at Boston Crematorium last Thursday where moving tributes were read by family and friends of the former nurse who went on to study acupuncture and complementary medicine.
Mrs Charleston-Stokes, who was married to husband Brian for 45 years, died peacefully on December 4 and is also survived by four children and 11 grandchildren.
Her son, John (41), who continues to run the clinic in Salem Street, said: "You couldn't have asked to meet a more giving person, whether it was just a touch of reassurance when it was needed or giving her time, love and attention to someone else.
"It didn't matter if she had to go without, as long as somebody else benefited.
"We still practice the same tenet at the clinic that she introduced where children should never be expected to pay for their treatment."
Mrs Charleston-Stokes was born in Plymouth and followed in her mother's footsteps as a nurse, before training in complementary therapy in her early 20s.
She moved to Donington in 1978 and opened her alternative therapy clinic three years later.
John said: "Her life was about helping people who couldn't help themselves and I would like people to remember her in that way."

Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. (NYSE MKT:IDN), a global leader in identity
solutions and wireless security systems, has been awarded a contract to
provide a cloud-based version of its TWIC Plus IM2620 and IM2610
identification card readers to a major U.S. oil company for use in one
of its Midwest locations.
The contract is for a web-hosted TWIC reading system. Intellicheck
Mobilisa recently offered a cloud-based hosted software solution instead
of installing software directly onto the customer's computer servers.
Hosting the software allows for easier integration and better customer
support. The new cloud-based service allows updates to be installed
instantly, without delays and without the need for customer to spend
time and resources.
Last July, Intellicheck Mobilisa's IM2620 and IM2610 products became the
first mobile readers of TWIC cards to be approved by the Transportation
Security Administration (TSA). The two TWIC reader products passed the
TSA's rigorous testing and are now officially on its Qualified
Technology List (QTL) of approved products that ports, ships and other
facilities with controlled access should purchase. In addition to
reading TWIC cards, these products scan driver's licenses and military
IDs, can match person-of-interest lookups with law enforcement lists and
authorized lists, and arecapable of integrating with existing port
security systems.
Kimberly Chochon, Vice President of Port Security Sales at Intellicheck
Mobilisa, said, "We are pleased that this major oil company has
purchased our TWIC readers for use at one of their facilities. Since
many refineries house materials that are considered to be hazardous, we
are happy to be entrusted with helping maintain this facility's
security. We are hopeful that this initial contract will provide us the
opportunity to further demonstrate the effectiveness of our readers in
securing such facilities, and potentially lead to additional contracts
with other refineries across the U.S."

text: Djokovic taking nothing for granted at the US Open: 'Everybody starts from Monday' Hannah Wilks in US Open 24 Aug 2014 49 shares Share Tweet Email Share RedditNovak Djokovic opens his 2014 US Open campaign against Diego Schwartzman on Monday (Photo by Julian Finney/Getty Images) Father-to-be Novak Djokovic may be the favourite to win the 2014 US Open, but the world no. 1 and top seed is taking nothing for granted ahead of his first match, against Diego Schwartzman on Monday 25 August.Novak Djokovic vs Diego Schwartzman will be televised on Sky Sports and Eurosport in the UK, or watch online here:'I know that there is one thing for sure: everybody is starting from scratch,' Djokovic said before the tournament. 'Everybody starts from Monday. Whoever ends up on Monday with the trophy is the winner. 'It's very open. I think nowadays the competition level is higher because you have players who are ranked around 15, 20 in the world who are working very hard who have developed their skills, and the quality of the tennis that they are playing is higher than, let's say, five years ago, in my opinion. That makes it harder for top players to win this tournament.'Djokovic has two good reasons to emphasize the 'everybody starts from Monday' idea: To temper the expectations of those who have written the world no. 1 into the final already, and to remind everybody (and himself) that his subpar US Open Series performances can and probably will be firmly relegated to the past once the main event begins.Since capturing the Wimbledon title in July and marrying longtime girlfriend Jelena Ristic shortly afterwards, Djokovic is 2-2, taking six sets to beat Gilles Simon and Gael Monfils and losing in straights to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Tommy Robredo in Toronto and Cincinnati respectively. Djokovic frustrated during a match in Cincinnati (Photo by Jonathan Moore/Getty Images)It wasn't what we expected from Djokovic, who looked poised to dominate the US Open Series after reclaiming the world no. 1 ranking and with Rafael Nadal absent. The Serb looked distracted and occasionally listless on court and there has been some speculation that impending fatherhood – Djokovic and Ristic are due to become parents in October – might be taking its toll on Djokovic's focus.'I with no doubt have only positive and joyful feelings approaching fatherhood, and hopefully, it's going to happen in less than two months,' Djokovic said. 'Then I'm going to enjoy it and try to take as much energy as I can, positive energy to kind of transfer that to the tennis court. But without a doubt, life changes. Priorities change. My priorities: my family, my wife, my future kid. Tennis is definitely not No. 1 anymore.'But Djokovic made it clear that he isn't exactly consigning tennis to the back-burner just yet.'I have high expectations for myself,' the 2011 US Open champion said. 'I always have. Especially at this stage of my career where I feel like now is the time that I'm at my peak physical strength. I want to use this time of my career as much as I can to win as many matches as possible.'Djokovic has 'only' won the US Open once, but he's reached the final for the past four years (as well as in 2007) and is certainly predicted to do so once more, despite the presence of Toronto champion Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and 2012 US Open champion Andy Murray in his quarter of the draw. World no. 79 Diego Schwartzman, Djokovic's first-round opponent, is a less intimidating prospect: He will be playing in the main draw of the US Open for the first time when they face off in the second night match on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday 25 August.

|Virtual Colonoscopy: Comparison of Reduced Laxative Virtual Colonoscopy Regimens With Standard Preparation on Patient Experience and Compliance - a Questionnaire Based Study
|Brief Summary
|The study will compare patient's experience between those taking a standard bowel cleansing regimen with minimal laxative tagging regimen of senna and gastrofin. Additionally comparing any possible reduction in diagnostic accuracy that may ensue from an increased quantity of retained faecal residue.
|Detailed Description
Bowel cleansing with high dose laxative is the standard bowel preparation prior to whole colon investigations but such regimens are associated with considerable patient discomfort and inconvenience, potentially affecting compliance rates [1-3].
Unlike existing whole colon investigations (conventional colonoscopy and barium enema), reduced laxative regimens can be successfully used with VC, with the aim of improving patient experience, whilst maintaining diagnostic accuracy. These regimens utilize faecal tagging; a method of labeling residual faeces and fluid with radiodense liquids, such as iodine or barium based fluids, which are taken orally by the patient. Once faecal residue and fluid is labeled in this way, it can easily be discriminated from true pathology (which remains 'untagged').
We are proposing to compare different bowel preparation regimens, and ascertain patient experience of the different regimes, while monitoring diagnostic accuracy of the 2 different regiments.

It appears it will take some time but am looking forward to it, thanks again Ithian. I do have a question though. Will I be able to use the program for renaming the game id you provided for the Mario Kart patches? I would like to have both versions of this on my HDD also.
