My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for International Crisis Aid Inc, St. Louis, MO, USA
Pat and Sue have done an amazing job of making ICS donations go a very long way. I know this because i get regular updates from them on the progress that is being made in the lives of so many people across the World. This non-profit is not for the faint of heart: 1) one of the first responders to the most remote regions that have fallen victim to natural disasters with the most basic needs attended to, 2) brings food and water to families in famine or drought struck regions, 3) brings medical care to untreated illness and 4) provides safe passage, builds safe houses and rehabilitation for victims of sex trafficking.
It takes great faith and a special calling to enter some of these regions and be a true force for change as well as a light of hope among such difficult circumstances. I am proud to donate to a Christian-based mission that transparently shows the true impact of donations - and brings life and light into the lives of so many. God bless them both and the staff that supports their efforts.

2010 Pro-Life Marches Take on New Significance
In the days leading up to the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Americans have shown up in droves at rallies across the country in a show of solidarity against abortion.
Some 3,000 people in Portland, Ore., called for an end to abortion this past weekend while thousands more in other U.S. cities continued the call this week. Some have begun to load buses to head to the nation's capital for the annual March for Life on Friday.
"For the church, both historically and theologically, the issue of abortion is rather quite simple. Since God is the author of all life, all life is valuable at every stage," states Hawaii Right to Life, which is planning its own local march and rally on Friday. "In a culture that considers death a viable instrument for its solving its problems, the Christian community must speak with a strong and unified voice."
Friday marks the 37th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion. Pro-lifers, who assert that life begins at conception, say this year's collective efforts are even more significant than ever as Congress considers health care reform legislation that could allow taxpayer dollars to cover abortions. Conservatives and Christian groups warn that passage of a bill with abortion coverage would be the greatest expansion of government-backed abortion since Roe v. Wade.
Tens of thousands of pro-lifers are expected to flood Constitution Avenue in Washington, D.C., in a march up Capitol Hill to the Supreme Court and to the Congress. Marchers will be sending the message to legislators that they are there on a work day in the middle of winter to overturn Roe v. Wade and protest anti-life policies.
International pro-life leaders from Africa, Europe, South America, Asia and Oceania are joining the march to protest President Barack Obama's policies that promote abortion worldwide.
"This is not only the anniversary of Roe v. Wade," said Dr. Ligaya Acosta, Human Life International Regional Coordinator for Asia and Oceania. "This is now the anniversary of President Obama's allowing Americans' taxpayer funds to be used to promote abortion and other assaults on life in my own country of the Philippines, in Africa, in China ... all over the world where 40 million babies are killed every year. It is wrong and we are here to tell him and Congress to stop paying to kill our children!"
Last January, just days after being inaugurated as the 44th U.S. president, Obama signed an executive order overturning the Mexico City Policy, which bans federal funding for overseas abortion providers.
This year's theme for March for Life is "Stand Up Now! Unite for the Life Principles – No Exception! No Compromise!"
Ahead of the massive march, thousands plan to rally in front of the White House on Thursday to bring the Life Principles to President Obama. A comprehensive statement of the position motivating the pro-life movement, the Life Principles state, among other things, "all human beings are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among which is the right to life" and "when there is any doubt that there exists a human being's life to preserve and protect, such doubt shall be resolved In favor of the existence of a human being."
"If this basic right (right to life) is weakened, all other rights are meaningless, as disparagement of the value and dignity of human beings will then permeate our society's mentality and the Laws of our Land – contrary to our common good," the Life Principles document states.
Since 1973, more than 50 million abortions have taken place.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- A new ranking of the most dangerous small cities in America is raising concerns on the Suncoast. Two local cities are in the top 50, but the list might not be what it seems.
"That's very hard to believe, I mean that's crazy talk," said George Carabasos after hearing that Sarasota ranks as the 19th most dangerous small city in the nation. "I think it's kind of a joke a little bit."
That was the sentiment of most Sarasota residents when confronted with the list.
Last week, Movoto, which describes itself as a real-estate research site, published a ranking of America's Most Dangerous Small Cities, looking at more than 200 cities with a population between 50,000 to 75,000 people.
And Sarasota landing in the top 20 even surprised part-time resident Ingaboard Sorenson. "We been down here for seasons the last 11-12 years, and I've been here by myself a lot of the time -- my husband works -- and I never felt not safe."
Genevieve Judge with the Sarasota Police Department says the statistics are outdated --- based on 2012 numbers, not 2013 -- and says the crime stats made a dramatic decrease over the course of a year. "The city of Sarasota saw a decrease in 'part one' crimes, down 5%. Now part one crimes are your robberies, your murders, your vehicle burglaries...things along those lines."
Judge also says she attributes the city's success to stronger partnerships in the community, as well as focusing on problem areas. "We hired a crime analyst this year to look at our numbers and see where we need to move our resources in order to attack what's going on in the cities as far as crime issues go. So we believe the city of Sarasota is a safe place, but we attribute a lot of that to the work we're doing with our community."
While most residents say they are comfortable with the police presence as a whole, many just feel it's the people who live here that make it a safe place. "Most of the people in this town are good…I like it here."
The city of Bradenton also made the list at #42, but Deputy Chief Warren Merriman says just like Sarasota, numbers have decreased dramatically.

Plans for 70 new homes in Swanmore have been approved.
The new estate is the result of a land swap deal with Swanmore College, with Linden Homes building on 2.3 hectares of the college's sports pitches. In return the college will receive nearby land currently being used as a paddock.
A previous proposal was rejected for reasons including the impact on the character of the village and potential parking problems.
But councillors were unanimous in their approval of the revised plan, which saw 17 letters of objection, and some 43 letters of approval from residents.
Work is due to begin in the coming months.

January 31, 2002
A Minnesota law librarian was named one of 10 "Attorneys of the Year" for 2001 by Minnesota Lawyer newspaper.
The editors of the newspaper chose Marvin Anderson, state law librarian at the Minnesota State Law Library, as a recipient of the "Attorneys of the Year" honor because of his long history of public service to the state's legal profession. During his 20-year tenure as a Minnesota's state law librarian, Anderson founded the state's first minority bar group and created the "Everybody Wins" volunteer reading program, which pairs up elementary students with lawyers. He won the 1999 Spirit of Law Librarianship Award from AALL for organizing the reading program. Anderson is also extremely active in the Minnesota Association of Law Libraries. And this past summer, he helped organize the AALL Annual Meeting and Conference in Minneapolis.
"MALL members know Marvin for his tireless work on behalf of law librarians, but it is especially significant to be singled out for an award for attorney involvement in events of major importance to the state's legal community," said Lori Hedstrom, program manager of Librarian Relations at West Group in Eagan, Minn. "Marvin and his co-chair, Pat Cummings, showcased the many aspects of law librarianship during the AALL conference here [in Minneapolis]. Other honorees include attorneys from government, corporate and private practices, and we are very proud that Marvin is in such distinguished company."
The annual honor is bestowed on attorneys who have risen to a position of leadership in the bar, handled an important case, engaged in significant public service and/or advanced the interests of the state's legal profession in major way.
This year's honorees will be recognized at an awards dinner Jan. 31 at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Minneapolis from 5 p.m.- 8 p.m. Former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo will be the keynote speaker at tonight's event.

New Year: Pastor Gives Secret Guarantee to Success in 2012
Those looking for success in 2012 may first need to redefine what it means to be successful, suggests a Tennessee pastor.
Success from the standpoint of human success is entirely different from what God has planned for our lives, says church strategy consultant Ron Edmondson, who is a co-founding pastor at Grace Community Church in Clarksville.
Edmondson told The Christian Post that success is guaranteed for a person if one shifts from desiring their own will to God's will in their life.
"You have to define success before you can measure whether you have achieved it or not," Edmondson said. "For me, success is only measured in the context of God's will."
In his recent blog post, "How to Guarantee Success in the New Year," he said that the success he was writing about was in the context of God's desire for our lives.
Edmondson used the example from the Bible of Abram being called by God to follow His plans for Abram's life. In his post, Edmondson put in bold text the "I's," "you's," and "your's."
"The Lord said to Abram:
Go out from your land,
your relatives,
and your father's house
to the land that I will show you.
I will make you into a great nation,
I will bless you,
I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
I will curse those who treat you with contempt,
and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you." – Genesis 12:1-3
"The secret, for lack of a better word, for Abraham's success, was moving from his will to God's will. When the 'you' comes after the 'I' rather than before, we'll guarantee our success," wrote Edmondson.
"If you and I want the new year to be a success, let's:
Drop our agenda … join His agenda
Get off our path … get on His path
Release our ambitions … embrace His ambitions
Ignore my will … live His will."
Edmondson said that he would like to do something for God in the coming year that may not make sense to anyone else.
"I want to do something in my life, or be a part of something, that God is calling us to do that looks absolutely stupid in the eyes of man," he said. "Leaving the business world and walking into ministry with not any income is that way. I've had those experiences that people around me said, 'That doesn't make any sense.'
"However, sometimes we move into this protection mode. So, the person I think about whenever I think about these sort of things is Abraham," he explained.
Whether they are called "resolutions" or "goals," Edmondson said it's just a matter of semantics and it's natural for people to want to do things better next year.
"It's a daily thing for me. Sometimes, it's getting up [in the morning] and saying, 'God, today I want to follow you. I'm yours. I'm ready when you are,'" he said. "It's a process of surrendering daily.
"In my heart I say, 'God I'm going to follow your will before you even tell me what your will is.' I think that God sometime hesitates with giving our assignment because we haven't surrendered to His will yet."
Edmondson plans to release a book next year that he began writing last month about the growing trend among youth who are dependent on the affirmations coming from other people. This dependency on approval has created a society of young people that are afraid to move forward with their lives, he said.

Ponting nicked James Anderson to Paul Collingwood for 12 as Australia lost four wickets in the first session.
Earlier this week, Michael Vaughan said Australia's only chance of victory in this Ashes series was for Ponting to "do a Bradman". But his current average of 20 - propped up by a largely irrelevant unbeaten 51* in the second innings at Brisbane - only provides further ammunition to his critics.
Here's how Ponting has fared this series.
First Test, Brisbane (drawn)
First innings: c Prior b Anderson 10
Ponting, who had scored 196 in the corresponding innings of the 2006-07 series, was caught by Matt Prior after attempting to glance a James Anderson delivery down the leg side.
Second innings: 51 not out
Ponting made his 56th Test half century as Australia batted out the final day on the flattest of tracks
Second Test, Adelaide (England won by an innings and 71 runs)
First innings: c Swann b Anderson 0
Australia were already a wicket down after Simon Katich was run out on the fourth ball of the match when Ponting went for a golden duck after nicking Anderson to Graeme Swann.
Second innings: c Collingwood b Swann 9
Playing in his 150th Test, Ponting survived a thorough 21-minute examination from spinner Swann before getting a thick edge to the 19th ball he faced with Paul Collingwood taking a good catch at first slip.
Third Test, Perth
First innings: c Collingwood b Anderson 12
Ponting nicked an Anderson delivery to the slips where Collingwood made a superb one-handed catch, leaping high to his right to leave Australia 17 for two in the fifth over.

Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer Icp-Oes
Perkin-Elmer Optima 7000DV ICP-OES (Funded 2009) This instrument was funded by the CMC Foundation and CMC in May 2009. The ICP-OES is an industry and research standard to analyze aqueous solutions for multiple inorganic elements at low levels (part per billion) in a timely manner. These factors are important for facilities that routinely need the capability to perform analysis on a large volume of pending samples. In addition, the ICP-OES uses inert (Argon and Nitrogen) gasses which reduce risk management requirements. The current generation of ICP-OES instrumentation is relatively easy to use (Windows Based software) and therefore ideal for a teaching environment.
What is Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry?
ICP-OES is part of the ICP family that also includes ICP-Mass Spectrometry but utilizes the properties of eletromagentic emission from atoms ionized by the plasma. Whereas, ICP-MS measures the mass of ionized atoms. ICP technology has evolved significantly since the 1960's when the first ICP prototypes emerged to provide better analytical sensitivity and capacity than Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Since its inception in the 1960's ICP-OES has seen significant improvements in technology, capablity and price. Nowdays, ICP-OES is commonly found in contract analytical laboratories and academic facilities where routine analysis needing high sensitivity and thoroughput at relatively cost is needed.
The basic concept of ICP-OES is shown below in Figure 1. An aqueous sample is introduced into the nebulizer (Step 1) where it is aspirated into a very fine mist.

Thou Shalt Not Work From Home
A fascinating thing occurred last week in the ever changing world of work. The CEO of Yahoo! ordered that working from home was no longer an option for the company's employees. Citing a greater desire for communication and collaboration, the memo from HR was positive in nature but definitive in message: work in the office … Continued

The former cricketer said his vehicle was attacked by loyalists during an anti-government march to the capital.
"They threw stones at us while standing at police vans," he said. "They fired bullets at us."
Mr Khan's spokeswoman said he was not injured but his vehicle was hit. She added that police did not intervene.
However, police said that although clashes broke out, no shots were fired.
The apparent incident occurred as Mr Khan and cleric Tahir ul-Qadri led tens of thousands of protesters to Islamabad.
The pair are planning to stage a sit-in in the capital until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigns.
Protesters claim last year's general elections, in which Mr Sharif swept to power, were rigged.
Security remains tight in the capital, where authorities have blocked several main roads with shipping containers and barbed wire in an effort to thwart the marches.
Riot police are also out in force.
"We have come to save our country because of the call of our leader, Imran Khan," said 36-year-old Ajaz Khan in central Islamabad.
"We will not leave from here until our leader tells us to go."
The convoy set off from the eastern city of Lahore, around 190 miles (300km) from Islamabad, on Thursday.

Conditional shape models for cardiac motion estimation
We propose a conditional statistical shape model to predict patient specific cardiac motion from the 3D end-diastolic CTA scan. The model is built from 4D CTA sequences by combining atlas based segmentation and 4D registration. Cardiac motion estimation is, for example, relevant in the dynamic alignment of pre-operative CTA data with intra-operative X-ray imaging. Due to a trend towards prospective electrocardiogram gating techniques, 4D imaging data, from which motion information could be extracted, is not commonly available. The prediction of motion from shape information is thus relevant for this purpose. Evaluation of the accuracy of the predicted motion was performed using CTA scans of 50 patients, showing an average accuracy of 1.1 mm.

A Cuban balsero is rescued in the Florida Straits by a cruise ship. Sounds like a typical story. But this tale is different. The rafter is quite musical. He is invited to perform on the ship and does so for weeks until he disembarks to seek asylum in California. Eventually he ends up in Miami and opens a tiny pizza parlor, Freddy's, on SW Sixth Street and Twelfth Avenue. Little does he realize his neighbors are a bunch of bohemian artists hellbent on making their community a hotbed of art and amusement.
So far Freddy's neighbors have thrown a tribute to Babalu Aye, the Santería deity of the downtrodden, and a lively open-studio evening to welcome another pair of artists to their 'hood. They've also hosted a performance piece by José Reyes, who lived in a storefront window for three days.
This Friday, inspired by Freddy's regular weekly jams, which range from the crooning of Mexican rancheras to Sting, Little Havana cultural organization Artemis Performance Network and the Southwest Sixth Street studio dubbed lab6 present Café Neuralgia. A lighthearted lampoon of the local nightspot Café Nostalgia, this café will feature live music by Freddy and his Crew, poetry by Nestor Diaz de Villegas, photographs by Miami Herald lensman Pedro Portal, and a digital performance journal by artists Vivian Marthell and Carlos Suarez de Jesus. It's that whole añoranza (yearning) thing, that Cuban nostalgia thing; we decided to take a dig at that, says Suarez de Jesus.
Caf Neuralgia
Happens at 10:00 p.m. at Freddy's Pizza Lounge, 541 SW 12th Ave.
Admission is free. Call 305-324-0585.
In addition to these wild antics, the event will be a swan song of sorts for Marthell and Suarez de Jesus. This September the couple, founders of lab6 and instrumental in creating a Little Havana art scene, are taking a one-year position at The Working Classroom, a street arts conservatory in Albuquerque, New Mexico. But they vow to return periodically to participate in various art happenings. In the meantime, Portal will safeguard their space.

And of course the pizza will always call. The first place where I'm going to stop when I come back is Freddy's, says Suarez de Jesus. The pizza is excellent. It's a starving artist's place to eat.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Support Connection Inc, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA
I am thrilled to write a review for Support Connection! I have worked with this wonderful organization since 2001 and that relationship has been life changing for me and many others. Just this year my dear friend Deb was diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing treatment. As they always are, Support Connection was there for her to listen, share and give great education so she could make the decisions that were best for her. My friend, Maria Rubino was the program director at Support Connection for many years before she died in 2009 from stage 4 breast cancer. I think Maria's legacy is the personal touch that each of the counselors provides to every woman who calls and to their families as well. I was given the first Spirit of Caring Award set up in Maria's name but the real spirit of caring is embodied in every volunteer and paid employee of this great organization. In my own quest to help, I'll be donating proceeds from my latest book to Support Connection, hoping to spread the word to more people about the great work they do. I talk about the fundraiser on the book's web page of http://www.harriettakesthewheel.com. The book is a fable for working women about choices and empowerment - a perfect fit with one of the most empowering organizations I know. I truly believe I have been privileged to have worked with so many wonderful people and been a small part of the caring and much-needed work they do.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Specifically I was with my friend Maria, the former program director, as she died and so many of the former clients called and talked about how much they were helped by Support Connection at a time they needed it most.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
About every six months
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Paul is now part of the fourth generation in America that is involved in farming and hopes the next generation will be involved also. Through his blog he provides analysis and insight to farmer tax questions.
We got this question from one of our readers and it would apply to almost any farmer who hires a harvest or planting crew:
Normally, meals are deductible to an employer at 50% of the cost of the meals. However, in this case, where the meals are provided to the employee on the employer's work site and for the convenience of the employer, the meals are completely 100% deductible by the employer and the employee does not have to pick up any of it as income.
The rationale behind this is that the harvest crew does not have time to run into town to get a meal and it is more productive for the farmer to provide the meals directly on site and get the job done. Therefore, the tax laws allow the farmer to deduct the meals in full.
I?m not wrtohy to be in the same forum. ROTFL

Miss World 2014 Rolene Strauss on Saturday walked out of the arrivals terminal of OR Tambo International Airport to loud cheers, whistles and ululation as South Africans welcomed her home.
Dressed in a blue and white floral print dress – that matched her pageant crown and sash – she waved to the crowd and smiled broadly as photographers snapped away.
The Free State medical student then walked to a stage erected at the airport and sat next to Minister of Sport and Recreation Fikile Mbalula.
Strauss, of Volksrust in Mpumalanga, was crowned Miss World 2014 in London on December 14.
Rolene arrives to hero's welcome
The group sang Shosholoza which the crowd joined in. The group gathered at the airport grew as more people flocked to get a glimpse of Strauss.
Placards and flags were held aloft as people danced.
One placard read: "Marry me Rolene".
Minister of Sport and Recreation Fikile Mbalula was expected to be at the airport.
Itumeleng Mashele said she was at the airport to celebrate Strauss's achievement as she had represented South Africa very well.
"It has not happened since 1974 that a South African has won the title. We are here to celebrate with her," she said.
Strauss, of Volksrust in Mpumalanga, was expected to arrive by 10am.
The 22-year-old was crowned Miss World 2014 in London on December 14.
The last time a South African won the title was in 1974 when Anneline Kriel was crowned Miss World.

Oppenheimer. Enticing
The recent announcement by Labor Party Chairman and Defense Minister Ehud Barak regarding his support for "evacuation-compensation" legislation revived the public debate on the question of isolated settlements located beyond the separation fence.
The terror waves early in the decade and the construction of the fence in their wake led to a situation whereby roughly 65,000 settlers in about 74 settlements currently reside to the east of the fence, deep in the heart of the West Bank.
The basis of the "evacuation-compensation" bill is the Israeli government's moral obligation to enable settlers residing to the east of the fence to move back to within the Green Line at this time.
Council calls on settlers to 'meet any evacuation attempt with fierce objection.' Defending settlements 'is our moral right and duty,' says council's leaflet
It is no surprise that settler leaders and Judea and Samaria officials, whose job is to represent all residents living in their area, chose to overwhelmingly object to the initiative being formulated and turn their back on all those settlers who are willing to leave their homes immediately.
This is not the first time where settler leaders are abandoning their constituencies in order to score political points. On the eve of disengagement, Yesha Council heads and rightist Knesset members called on residents of Gush Katif and northern Samaria to refrain from entering negotiations on compensation and avoid any cooperation with authorities in charge of the evacuation.
The price of the boycott and lack of cooperation with government decisions was paid by Gush Katif evacuees, who found themselves facing economic and mental distress in the wake of the evacuation. Part of this distress could have been prevented.
Time to admit to historical mistakes
Now, rightist leaders are again crying out and objecting to the possibility of providing settlers east of the fence with the option of leaving voluntarily in exchange for compensation and moving back to within the Green Line.
It is no secret that settler leaders have a reason to worry. Thousands of settlers no longer believe in the Greater Israel vision and realize that the future of the settlements where they live has already been decided. Settler leaders are now forced to engage in a rearguard battle against the move being formulated only so that their ideological distress would not be exposed.
If Yesha Council leaders are indeed convinced that the settlers are determined to take over every hill in the territories, they should be the first ones to back the "evacuation-compensation" law and thus prove the determination of all settlers to hold on to all parts of the West Bank.
The proposed law is first and foremost a humane move aimed at resolving a serious problem for tens of thousands of settlers who live with uncertainty, a sense of isolation, and the knowledge that in the near future they will have to evacuate their homes in any case.
The Israeli government must not engage in diplomatic talks on the backs of the settlers and keep them as hostages outside the fence. This is the time to look in their eyes, admit to historical mistakes, and allow them to move back to within the Green Line now.

PHOENIX, April 13 (UPI) -- Arizona officials say illegal immigrants who boycott the U.S. Census would only be hurting themselves because it would mean fewer federal resources for them.
Even as Census Bureau officials have opened a public relations campaign to build trust with undocumented residents, immigrant advocates are threatening to boycott the Census as a protest against stepped-up law enforcement crackdowns, The Arizona Republic reported Monday.
Such a boycott could deny Arizona's financially hurting cities and towns much-needed federal tax dollars, which are doled out based on population, officials fear.
Phoenix City Councilman Michael Nowakowski warns against a census boycott, saying, "I believe it would have a huge impact, but the huge impact would be on the immigrant community."
"I know that people are afraid of the different raids we are having in the state, especially in Maricopa County, but we can assure them that this information (will be) perfectly safe," Vianey Celestino, an Arizona spokeswoman for the U.S. Census Bureau, told the Republic.

|In this paper, we study power conservation techniques for multi-attribute queries on wireless data broadcast channels. Indexing data on broadcast channels can improve client filtering capability, while clustering and scheduling can reduce both access time and tune-in time. Thus, indexing techniques should be coupled with clustering and scheduling methods to reduce the battery power consumption of mobile computers. In this study, three indexing schemes for multi-attribute queries, namely, index tree, signature, and hybrid index, are discussed. We develop cost models for these three indexing schemes and evaluate their performance based on multi-attribute queries on wireless data broadcast channels.

What Can I Make in My Small Vintage Oven?
Q: My boyfriend's cottage has the sweetest vintage stove I've ever seen. The only problem is that the oven is limited to two settings: high and off. The only way to regulate the temperature is by opening the door until the oven cools down, and then closing it until it gets too hot again.
I've been too nervous to use the oven much in the past, but I'm determined to master it. I should also mention that the oven isn't very big (for example, a pizza pan wouldn't fit in it). Can you think of any recipes that might do well?
(Note: the oven pictured isn't the exact same model, but it has a similar design.)
Sent by Marie
Editor: Marie, I immediately thought of pizzas, since I always crank up my oven to maximum heat when baking them. You could bake a few personal-size pizzas in smaller pans rather than one large pizza.
Readers, can you recommend any recipes that would work well in a small oven without much temperature control?
Next question?

I read a post from a guy that normally during November he experience 100% increase in CR but I personally haven't seen increase in my CR for November.
Can we expect 100% CR in November?. Is this realistic?.

On my non-commerce site (just trying to pay the bills), October was the highest month I have had on CJ. 100% increase over July, August, and September.
Of course, it was just slightly higher than my previous high -- June (I did fairly well with that search engine (can't recall the name) that paid .05... for a while).
Does this bode well for the shopping season? No idea, the products on this site are very niche oriented and I wouldn't consider them "gift" items... and I can't think of any reason for the surge (in fact, my top merchant cut their cookie to 15 days (from 30) in September)... it just seems nonsensical...
But November is headed in the same direction... slightly better, even.

Once the designs are finalized, designers can then use the software to check the safety of their concepts. What use to take hours of painstaking work now only takes a few minutes with AutoTURN Rail.
Easily Create Light Rail Vehicles
Recreate a project design vehicle that reflects manufacturer specifications in AutoTURN Rail 3D. Attach manufacturer's static and dynamic envelopes, and any user defined vehicle envelopes (e.g. for maintenance and construction tolerances) to the vehicle - the software uses these to generate clearance envelopes.
Generate Simulations on Prepared Alignments
Enter cant/superelevation data via a .CSV file and AutoTURN Rail 3D makes key calculations for the user. Start with an AutoCAD polyline composed of arcs and lines to set a starting elevation based on horizontal alignment geometry.
Perform Light Rail Vehicle Simulations
Simulate design vehicle movement on user prepared alignment (horizontal, profile, and cant) in 2D and in 3D that is sensitive to changes in elevation as well as cant/superelevation. Plus, users can control properties like 2D line type, type of vehicle and many more.
Generate 3D Light Rail vehicle Clearance Envelopes
Make adjustments to the clearance envelopes dynamically and return to previously placed vehicle clearances anytime. AutoTURN Rail 3D allows the user to control visual properties of the clearance envelopes for quick visual recognition.
Use Tracking Points on Light Rail Vehicles
AutoTURN Rail 3D 'sweeps' the tracking point along the length of a vehicle simulation sensitive to any vertical profile and cant/superelevation information (just like a vehicle simulation), generating a tracking point reference line in space.
Generate Cross Section Views
A user can generate cross sections anywhere along a vehicle simulation and place them in the drawing for finer clearance analysis, showing the following elements: Top of Rail, Rails, Structure Envelope, Static Envelope, Static Inswing/Outswing (if applicable – at curves) and Vehicle Dynamic Envelopes (if applicable).

Real Betis and Sevilla have shared the spoils with an entertaining 1-1 draw in the Seville derby.
Alvaro Negredo had two early opportunities for the visitors, but he was foiled both times by Casto Barriga in the Betis goal.
There was nothing Barriga could do for Sevilla's opener as Benat Exteberria curled his free kick into the top corner on 25 minutes.
The goalkeeper continued to frustrate the opposition as Frederico Fazio saw his header tipped over the bar.
Sevilla drew level against the run of play five minutes before half time when Negredo rose unmarked to plant his header in the net from Jesus Navas' cross.
Jefferson Montero blasted a chance over the bar for Betis early in the second half, before Jose Canas scooped his shot wide from a corner.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men with 20 minutes to play as Fazio was dismissed for an innocuous-looking obstruction on Roque Santa Cruz.
Exteberria nearly gave Sevilla the lead in the final 10 minutes, but he flashed his shot the wrong side of the post.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Jim Allen, Montgomery, Illinois' Republican Party chairman, had already apologized for a sexist and racially charged attack on congressional candidate Erika Harold made public Wednesday. But a day after the rant, Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus issued a call for Allen's resignation, which he obliged.
It all began with an email Allen sent to Doug Ibendahl, editor-in-chief of Republican News Watch. He called the Harvard-educated attorney a "love child" of the Democratic Party and compared her to a "street walker" whose "pimps" are the Democratic Party and RINOS, a term used to describe Republicans in name only.
Allen, who is a supporter of Rep. Rodney Davis, the Republican freshman Harold is challenging in a GOP primary, also suggested that when the election is over, she'll be "working for some law firm that needs to meet their quota for minority hires."
The former party leader's comments are the antithesis of the image the RNC is trying to portray. Since losing the presidential election last year, the party has been trying to rebrand itself to become more appealing to African-Americans and other minorities.
"The astonishingly offensive views expressed by Chairman Allen have absolutely no place among the leaders of our party at any level," Priebus said in a statement. "His behavior is inexcusable and must not be tolerated. He should apologize to Erika Harold and resign immediately."

Dear Inga,
I'm thinking it is not good for my baby and me to stay much longer in Whistle Creek, Idaho. The sheriff is showing altogether too much interest. I suppose I should feel flattered, for Carson Barclay is not only strikingly handsome, but a man of character and faith who has shown Keary and me considerable kindness. But I'm afraid his affections are ones I cannot return. The secret I bear makes a future with him impossible.
Yet Inga, when Sheriff Barclay is near, it's everything in my Irish heart that wishes otherwise.
Your friend, Mary Emeline Malone
Idaho: mountainous, rugged. Men go there to find their fortunes in the silver mines - and lose their pasts. But as Mary Malone discovers, sometimes the past is not so easily shaken. It will take a good man's strong, persistent love to penetrate the young immigrant's defenses and disarm the secret that makes a hostage of her heart.
In His Arms is Book Three in the Coming to America series about women who come to America to start new lives. Set in the late 1800s and early 1900s, these novels by best-selling author Robin Lee Hatcher craft intense chemistry and conflict between the characters, lit by a glowing faith and humanity that will win your heart. Look for other books in the series at your favorite Christian bookstore.

""In His Ams", a sweet love story."
First of all being able to listen to it on my Kindle rather than reading the text.
It always amazes me when I hear the narrators that were chosen and how perfect they were for the part. It makes listening such a pleasurable experience.
I am new to the audible books, so as I have listened to a variety of subjects, I cannot say that I have listened to one that I can compare this to. Maybe down the road as I become more experienced, this will be an easier question for me to answer
When Mary Malone had taken over the Painted Lady and she was confronted by Mr. Kendrick.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I realize it was one of a series that the author has re-written for Zondervan to be considered a Christian book. It is refreshing to read this kind of book and not have foul language or scenes that are corrupt.
Another good example of audible trumping text!
"Enjoyable Reading"
This is the first of Robin Lee Hatcher's books that I've read, and I must say I enjoyed it very much.

SAP America headquarters expansion
Pennsylvania complex achieves LEED Platinum through use of sustainable strategies.
Located just outside of Philadelphia, the first corporate-owned U.S. Green Building Council LEED Platinum building in the mid-Atlantic region is a 218,000 sq-ft complex in Newtown Square, Pa. FXFOWLE was the winner of an invited competition to design the new corporate headquarters for SAP America, the world's third largest independent software provider. The $1.03 million building, completed in 2010, provides additional office, meeting, conference, and amenity spaces for the company's 950 employees.
The building's form will assist with the application and integration of calibrated, sustainable strategies. Other sustainable features that will be included in the overall design include: geothermal wells, an ice storage plant, green roofs, under-floor air distribution systems, and daylight sensors.
The building incorporates numerous innovative features to reduce water use. The green roofs of the buildings are planted with grass and other native plantings, and are designed to funnel runoff rainwater from the roof into a 50,000-gallon cistern, which supplies water for landscape irrigation and the flushing of toilets in some of the building's bathrooms.
A hybrid air conditioning system in SAP's Newtown Square building produces ice in large storage tanks during the overnight hours when energy demands and electric rates are lowest, with the chilled water from the melting ice used to cool the building during the heat of the day.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Canada wine region adds electricity to its crops
Constellation Brands Inc unit Inniskillin Wines and private energy producer StormFisher Biogas will use between 1,000 and 2,000 tonnes of grape pomace to produce power for Niagara-area homes. The waste material was previously shipped to a landfill sites.
StormFisher produces renewable energy by processing the food and beverage waste in industrial digesters, then using the methane to either generate electricity or be processed as natural gas.
The companies said on Wednesday that they may expand the project to other Inniskillin wine-making facilities on the Niagara Peninsula.

And the winner of the Illinois Republican Party's first online straw poll is ... Ron Paul.
The Texas congressman won the statewide poll of presidential candidates with 52 percent of the vote. Mitt Romney won in-person voting with 35 percent but trailed Herman Cain's 15 percent web haul with 7 percent online.
Online voting opened at 9 a.m. Oct. 29 and closed at 7 p.m. Saturday at IllinoisStrawPoll.com. In-person voting was held Saturday at locations throughout the state.
"Other states have straw polls but no one has ever done what we're doing," Sen. Mark Kirk said last week. "Voters from Chicago to Cairo will have their votes counted on who they prefer to be the nominee for President via the Internet or a location near their home."
And so they voted. The tallied 3,649 votes doesn't sound like much, but Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady pointed out Illinois' efforts beat Ohio, which saw 428 votes in its straw poll earlier this year, and Florida, which had 2,647.
"Today's straw poll was an excellent opportunity to showcase our party's strength one year out of the election," Brady said in a statement over the weekend. "I am pleased with today's turnout and look forward to building on our successes from 2010."
To vote, folks needed to contribute $5 to the Illinois Republican Party, with proceeds split 50/50 between state and county parties.
"I congratulate Congressman Paul on his victory," said Brady. "It is clear Illinois Republicans are gearing up tremendous election year in in 2012."

* Security Council 'deeply concerned'* Critical moment for Somalia, U.N. official says* Eritrean envoy denies arms shipments to insurgents (Adds Eritrean reaction)
By Patrick WorsnipFriday, July 10, 2009
The warning, in a formal statement, followed an appeal by African Union leaders last week to the 15-nation council to impose sanctions on Eritrea, which the AU said was aiding Islamist insurgents fighting Somali government forces.
Noting that request, the British-drafted statement said the council was "deeply concerned in this regard and will consider expeditiously what action to take against any party undermining the ... peace process" in the Horn of Africa state.
Somalia's government and others have accused Eritrea of supplying arms to the insurgents in breach of a U.N. embargo that allows such shipments only to the government. Diplomats said any sanctions would be considered after a U.N. group monitoring the embargo reports back later this month.
Al Qaeda-linked fighters belonging to the al Shabaab insurgent group control much of southern and central Somalia and most of the capital Mogadishu. Last week over 70 people were killed as government troops tried to drive back insurgents who have been advancing on government position in Mogadishu.
The top U.N. political official, Lynn Pascoe, told a council debate it was "a critical time for Somalia," where 1.3 million people are internally displaced.
"The choice before us is a stark one," Pascoe said. "Either we help the Somali people overcome the current attempt to thwart efforts towards peace, or we allow the new unity government ... to fall to a radical armed opposition."
Eritrean officials deny the charges of arms supplies. "We haven't given any weapons to Somali insurgents, or to the government for that matter," the Red Sea state's U.N. envoy told Reuters. "They don't have any evidence at all."
"They want to corner us by putting sanctions, which is totally ridiculous," Ambassador Araya Desta said. He called the allegations a "fabrication" by Eritrea's rival Ethiopia.
But U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice told the council Washington was "particularly concerned about the financial, military, logistical and political support that the government of Eritrea is offering to al Shabaab and other extremists."
Rice said the Eritreans had rebuffed repeated U.S. attempts to discuss the issue. "But even now it's not too late. The United States calls on the government of Eritrea to seize this window of opportunity to change course," she said.
French Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert also noted the insurgents were reportedly receiving arms from Asmara and said France was prepared to undertake sanctions against those blocking peace.
Pascoe and Security Council envoys urged U.N. member states to fulfill pledges of support for Somalia's interim government and for a 4,300-strong AU force that backs it. A donors' conference in Brussels pledged over $200 million in April.
"Without our support, Somalia risks becoming a lasting safe haven and training ground for those plotting terrorist attacks around the world," Rice said.
Rice told the council that despite a strong international response to piracy off Somalia's coast, more countries needed to take responsibility for prosecuting captured pirates.
Condemning the widespread practice of paying ransoms to pirates to win the release of hijacked cargo ships, Rice also proposed creation of a group of "no concession" states to work together to slow the rise of piracy. (Editing by Bill Trott).

U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline, who joined advocates earlier this month for a press conference on Capitol Hill to highlight the importance of comprehensive immigration reform, issued the following statement after the Senate passed S. 744 by a vote of 68-32:
"Our current immigration system is broken -- it doesn't work for families, it doesn't work for our small business community, it doesn't work for immigrants who are already living here, and it doesn't work for people who aspire to become citizens of this great country. I am hopeful that the strong, bipartisan vote in the Senate will compel Speaker Boehner to bring to the floor a House proposal so we can move forward on a bill that not only protects our long-term economic interests, but also reflects our values as a nation -- the idea that we're all in this together, that diversity is one of our great strengths, that America is a beacon of hope to the world and, most importantly, that the American Dream means providing a decent life for yourself and your family."

The Miracle Whip gives it a slightly sweeter taste. The hard boiled eggs kind of cut the sharpness of the pickle relish. And chill well and give time for all the flavors to meld.

LEE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — A law enforcement-based motorcycle group does its part of fight child abuse. And if their kick off effort is any indication, they've got big things ahead.
The Defenders Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club donated almost $2,700 today to the Mallory Conlee Foundation to help child abuse victims and raise awareness. The group raised the money Saturday during its first Mallory Conlee Motorcycle Ride in Verona. They hope to raise twice as much next year.
The presentation was made to Lee County Sheriff Jim Johnson today.
The foundation honors Mallory Conlee, the 2-year-old girl who was killed on State Park Road in 2006. William Matthew Wilson is now on death row for her murder.
