If you want to go to the Southern Girls Conference this weekend, get the idea of the traditional Southern Belle out of your head right now. That is, unless your version of the stereotypical hoop-skirted lady includes discussing gender bias in the schools, struggles with body image, gender identity, sewing skills, self-published zines, art projects, bicycle repair and self-defense.
The third annual SGC takes place July 20-22 in Auburn, Ala., this year, but it's a short road trip for the groups of Athenians traveling to facilitate workshops, eat lots of Southern home cooking (cooked vegan -- no animal products or by-products) and enjoy evenings of live music, much of it regional with several Georgia bands performing. Though the event is a celebration of feminism, men are welcomed to attend, and several workshops are aimed at men's participation in the feminist movement. Though many attendees are college students, there are no age restrictions.
Katie O'Connell, a member of Athens' radical cheerleading outfit Classic City Chaos, will bring her experience in the nationwide movement to the workshop ''Cheerleading for the Revolution.'' Radical cheerleaders perkily shout catchy rhymes about things like sexual harassment, dangerous dieting and the environment.
O'Connell, a 20-year-old University of Georgia student, says radical cheerleading suited her political expression and helped beat some of her shyness. For her, the SGC will be ''a great place to exchange ideas.''
''That's what makes me feel really excited about this whole radical movement,'' she continues. ''I feel that there's all these people with the same ideas, and with a little work they can all come together. That's what brings changes about.''
Other UGA students are planning to attend the conference, including 10-12 members of UGA's Women's Studies Student Organization. Students Natasha Murphy, 19, and Elena Chmielewski, 20, will present the workshop ''Internet Organizing.'' Murphy sees Athens as an equally feasible spot for a future like-minded conference.
Southern Girls Conference
When: July 20-22
Where: Auburn University campus, Auburn, Ala.
Cost: $15 for the weekend; includes cost of workshops, music shows, food and housing; dorm housing option is an additional $10 a night as space lasts
Call: to register and for more information, visit the SGC Web site at http://ailecia.tripod.com/southerngirls/home.html. You can also register on-site at the conference.
''It's possible for Athens to do something like (the SGC),'' she says. ''It just starts out with two to three people wanting to do it, and then it snowballs.''
The SGC has indeed snowballed. About a hundred people attended the first SGC, held by the Women's Action Coalition in Memphis, Tenn. Last year, several hundred people flocked to the SGC in Louisville, Ky. This year, organizers expect at least as many participants.
Just a few weeks ago, more than 10 people were registering for the conference a day, and the list is growing steadily, says organizer Charles Johnson, a 19-year-old Auburn University student.
Organizer Ailecia Ruscin, a 24-year-old graduate student at the University of Kansas, says she hopes such an organized event will sustain a regional network of activists.
''I think a lot of activists in the South feel really alienated,'' she says.
''This is a very unique and exciting time for like-minded people to come and build alliances,'' says organizer Claire Rumore, 22 and an Auburn University student. ''People who are socially active and motivated toward change, they can get burned out. If they don't get encouragement from the sidelines ... they start wondering why they're doing what they're doing.''
Besides renewing a commitment to activism and attending a diverse array of workshops, there's the music to consider. Free to conference goers, two shows a night are held simultaneously, one at a local home and another at a downtown restaurant. Bands performing include Mobile's The New Robot Theory, a keyboard-driven project featuring members of XBXRX; Boston's The Faux, a self-described punk riot grrl outfit; and the Soophie Nun Squad, a Kansas-based rock offering from members of Temeyoski. Several Georgia singers -- Tracy Elliott, Allison Lee and Nicki Sutherland -- will perform music ranging from country and folk to blues and pop. Cliterati, Atlanta's self-described ''queer spoken-word duo'' will also perform.

The Kobe 8 is still going strong, coming through with a bunch of new releases in the late stages that prove it has plenty of energy left. The Kobe 8 'Spark' is one fairly literal manifestation of this energy, an explosive graphic treatment on the Engineered Mesh uppers that resembles a fireworks explosion. This is one of those not overtly Lakers colorways that could still slide into an NBA game for the coming season, which is something we'll be watching for just like a release date. Stick with Sneaker News for updates and let us know how the Spark style compares to the rainbow of Kobe 8 colorways out there.

The Sharon Surprise
"Parties surprised: 9 months prison for Sharon". That front page lead headline in the Hebrew version of Haaretz says it all. The political establishment was taken by shock, and so was the media, evidently, when the court slammed Omri Sharon hard for breaking the party financing laws.
Surprise? Why? Sharon the son, to recap, raised in NIS 6 million through prohibited means, where the law allowed him to raise in 800,000 to finance Ariel Sharon's primaries campaign in 1999. Sharon did win the internal Likud election and was named party chairman. Assuming the donations helped him win (if they had not, why wound the son commit serial fraud to hide them) then what we have here is stealing the election. Buying it. Surely election fraud in a democratic country should be punished soundly, for instance by nine months' prison, if not more.
But elections were not the only thing stolen here. Sharon the younger, to recap, maintained silence during police questioning.
Because of his silence, we still do not know who provided the NIS 6 million. In the absence of knowledge, we can speculate as to their identity and as to whether they expected to be rewarded.
The possibility that the Sharons were bought for filthy lucre, and harnessed the government they had bought to serve the interests of the donors, cannot be overlooked. Thus the Sharon son must be suspected not only of stealing elections, but of stealing the fairness of government in Israel. Fairness is the stuff of life to democracy: without it, without people having confidence that an elected government is worthy of their trust, democracy cannot survive.
Sharon the younger was not overlooked in the allocation of the NIS 6 million. He did not "lie on the fence for his father", as put by MK Danny Naveh (now under investigation himself). He lay on the fence because he was also rewarded amply by the system. By virtue of his father's election as party chairman, Sharon the son became one of the most powerful people in Israel. He was the fixer in government and even won a seat in parliament, with all the perks that involves. The fact that he accepted the blame for acts which his father may have abetted does not detract from the gravity of his guilt or the harm he did to the State of Israel.
Surprise? Yes, there is a surprise.
Surprise at the degree of surprise demonstrated by the political echelon. It demonstrates how unable it is to understand the gravity of its own corruption.
The real surprise should have been at the lenience of Sharon's sentence, not its gravity. The real surprise should have been that the state did not really exact the debt it was owed from Omri Sharon.
Sharon the son used the NIS 6 million to steal the public's most important assets: fairness in elections and in government. Sharon the son owes the public NIS 6 million. At least that much, since it can be assumed that the fruits of government brought the Sharon family much more than NIS 6 million.
No, this is not metaphor. The money-laundering laws state that the financial fruits of crime should be returned to the victim - in this case, the public, the state. There is no reason for Sharon not to return the NIS 6 million used to hurt government in Israel, to the public He has the wherewithal to do it: there is the family ranch, Sycamore, which is worth that much at least.
If that had happened, it really would have been a surprise. It would be a surprise that crimes against democracy are taken seriously and should be handled accordingly. A criminal committing such acts should be handled like any other criminal: return the fruits of the crime, in full, to society. Government is not a toy for the politicians: if they don't get the message through words, maybe they'll get it through their pockets. That would really be a surprise, that might finally do something about the corruption in government.

Rep. Williams requests congressional support for Fort Hood
Congressman Roger Williams, R–Austin, testified in Washington, D.C., on Thursday morning to request support for various projects at Fort Hood.
Williams, whose district includes part of Fort Hood, appeared before the House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies to request support to improve the barracks and motor pools on Fort Hood.
"As a member of Congress whose district includes Fort Hood, I know that the Great Place is the gold standard for the Army, the Department of Defense and our nation's overall national security posture," Williams said. "As you begin work on the fiscal year 2018 Military Construction, Veteran Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, I request language be added to ensure Fort Hood remains the gold standard."
Williams asked that "action be taken" concerning Fort Hood's tactical equipment maintenance facilities. There are dozens of such facilities in the post's many motor pools.
Williams also requested funding to upgrade the barracks at Fort Hood and expressed support for fully funding a future sensitive compartmented information facility, which is a secured room for processing data on the post, according to a news release.
Williams presented no dollar amounts for the projects to the committee.
At a Killeen luncheon Nov. 11, Lt. Gen. Sean MacFarland, III Corps and Fort Hood commander, said aging barracks and motor pools are a problem at Fort Hood.
Of the 99 barracks at Fort Hood, half are below acceptable standards, he said.
Of the 75 motor pools at Fort Hood, one-third were built in the 1950s for World War II Sherman tanks, not for today's larger Abrams tanks.
Buildings across the Army post were constructed in the 1980s before information technology supported Wi-Fi and internet connections, so you'll see "soldiers standing outside" those buildings "trying to get a signal on their Blackberry phones. ... It's a challenge," MacFarland said.
Williams also urged more support for the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"There are many worthwhile veteran programs that should have our full attention," Williams said. "Although I am encouraged that President (Donald) Trump has exempted VA medical staff from the hiring freeze, I think the need to hire qualified doctors to take care of our veterans is now more important than ever. Hiring more doctors would give us the ability to further reduce our VA claims backlog and provide timely care to our veterans."

Just unscrew it from the cap and you're ready to light stuff on fire. It's also refillable and feels much nicer than those cheap disposable plastic lighters.

The Birthplace at Lowell General Hospital
Having a baby may be the most important decision you'll ever make. Deciding where to have your baby may be the second most important. You need a hospital that is attentive to your individual choices for your baby's birth, a hospital where doctors and nurses support your family in developing a birthing plan to create your own special childbirth experience. You'll find that — and a whole lot more — at The Birthplace at Lowell General Hospital.
Family-centered Comfort and Care for New Moms
Features include:
- Four new early labor rooms offer spacious soothing areas for laboring moms
- Whirlpool tub room with spa-like atmosphere to soothe laboring moms
- Triage Area/Outpatient Suite — for specialists to conduct outpatient testing, saving patient wait times and travel to other locations
- State-of-the art infant security system
- Increased privacy with transportation via a private elevator (separate from staff/visitor elevators) will be available to transport mom and baby to the Mother/Infant Unit
- Two separate large flat screen televisions for mom and family members to enjoy
- Designated clinical space and family space
- Spacious bathrooms with individual showers and spa-like décor.
Lactation Support — Inpatient Lactation Consultants
All professional staff on the Mother/Infant unit are able to provide support for our breastfeeding moms. Because we understand that sometimes there may be additional needs, a Certified Lactation Consultant is available to visit privately with new moms in the Mother/Infant Unit. Lactation consultants offer breastfeeding assistance and answer questions about breastfeeding before mom and baby head home.
Certified lactation consultants are available 7 days a week. They provide lactation support to all nursing mothers whose infant were born prematurely, as well as for mothers of full term infants who request support. The lactation consultants also provide outpatient follow up and support in the hospital setting after the infants are discharged home.
We understand that breastfeeding is a learned art, and a new mother needs knowledge and practical assistance to help her have a positive breastfeeding experience. The breastfeeding support programs at Lowell General Hospital are designed to offer education, counseling and support so that breastfeeding can be a rewarding experience for both mother and baby.
Telephone Support
After your discharge from Lowell General Hospital, you may have additional concerns about breastfeeding. We welcome you to call a lactation consultant at 978-937-6334 with your questions. If you are calling regarding an urgent matter or are concerned regarding your babies health, please contact your pediatrician.
Benefits of Breastfeeding
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, breastfeeding ensures the best possible health as well as the best developmental and psychosocial outcomes for the infant. Recent studies show that babies are less likely to develop ear infections, respiratory illnesses and diarrhea when breastfed exclusively for six months. Breastfed babies may be less likely to be obese in childhood.
Some studies suggest decreased rates of:
- Sudden infant death syndrome in the first year of life
- Incidence of insulin-dependent (type 1) and non-insulin-dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus, lymphoma, leukemia, and Hodgkin disease, hypercholesterolemia and asthma
Breastfeeding has also been associated with slightly enhanced performance on tests of cognitive development, and if done during a painful procedure such as a heel-stick for newborn screening provides a soothing calming effect on infants
Maternal Health Benefits
- Earlier return to pre-pregnancy weight
- Decreased risk of breast cancer
- Decreased risk of ovarian cancer
- Possibly decreased risk of hip fractures and osteoporosis in the postmenopausal period
Maternity & Reproductive Health
Prenatal Care — Maternal Fetal Medicine Program
Fortunately, most pregnancies go smoothly from conception to delivery. However, for some women, medical problems prior to pregnancy, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, or conditions that develop during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes, placenta previa, premature labor, or multiple births, make them at higher risk for complications.
The experienced Maternal Fetal Medicine team at Lowell General Hospital, in collaboration Tufts Medical Center and the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center provides outpatient and inpatient counseling and diagnostic services. The program includes outpatient prenatal diagnostic ultrasound and procedures such as Nuchal Translucency Screening, amniocentesis, as well as genetic counseling and counseling about issues related to high-risk pregnancies.
Level IIB Special Care Nursery
Affiliated with the Regional Center for Maternal and Pediatric Care in partnership with Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center, the Level IIB Special Care Nursery at Lowell General Hospital provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for infants born prematurely, infants with feeding difficulties, and those with other medical issues requiring close monitoring and assessment.
The 10-bed nursery is staffed with board-certified neonatologists (physicians specializing in the care of premature and sick infants) around the clock from our partnership with the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center, as well as pediatric physicians and neonatal nurses. These clinicians are highly skilled at resuscitating and stabilizing critically ill infants, and preparing them for transfer to a Level III neonatal intensive care nursery if necessary. Once stabilized, such infants are transferred back to the Special Care Nursery for ongoing care closer to home.
Babies (and their parents) First In Everything We Do
All babies in the Special Care Nursery are connected to monitors. Some also require intravenous therapy, oxygen, and other medical equipment. Although such a "high tech" environment may seem overwhelming to parents, our goal is to involve parents as much as possible in the care of their infants, and to help promote bonding.
With a strong focus on family-centered care, our dedicated team of physicians, nurses, lactation consultants, social workers, dietitians, and physical therapists work collaboratively with parents to educate and support them. We also recognize and respect your need to spend private time with your infant. Our state-of-the-art monitoring system allows parents to spend alone time with their infants in private parenting rooms, while providing continuous monitoring of their infant to the staff in the nursery.

By now, you know USC commit Max Browne (Sammamish, Wash./Skyline), Penn State commit Christian Hackenberg (Fork Union, Va./Fork Union Military Academy), Alabama pledge Cooper Bateman (Salt Lake City, Utah/Cottonwood) and many of the other top QB prospects. However, with the Elite 11 finals starting on Wednesday, there are other names you should know, some prospects who are slightly under the radar and have the most to gain if they produce strong performances this week.
Unfortunately, prospects can be overlooked for myriad reasons -- lack of recruiting traffic to a rural area, poor scheme, bad film, lack of camp attendance, poor resources to get your film into the hands of recruiters and, believe it or not, so-called "experts" on the Internet who place too much emphasis on whether a prospect has offers.
The following 10 prospects have all seen a slow buildup throughout the recruiting process and, with impressive workout performances to date, have increased their exposure by attending Elite 11 regional camps and earning invites into this year's finals. A good week could raise their profiles even more.

Young mum dies after rare brain tumour is misdiagnosed by doctors as depression
A YOUNG mother has died from a rare brain disease which went misdiagnosed as depression for nearly two years.
Hollie Turner, 21, and daughter Myah
Doctors missed chances to diagnose Hollie Turner, 21, despite her suddenly drinking up to 12 pints of water every HOUR, her family claims.
The keen dancer's health started to deteriorate in April 2013 soon after the birth of her daughter Myah, when she began experiencing an unquenchable thirst and fatigue.
GPs diagnosed the mum, of Canvey Island, Essex, with depression after carrying out inconclusive tests for diabetes and thyroid problems
The situation eventually came to a head when Ms Turner went with family to visit her grandmother Dorothy, 74, in London in December 2014.
Hollie was reportedly drinking 12 pints of water every hour in a bid to quench her thirst
After not drinking for the whole of the journey, Ms Turner was passed out before they arrived and was rushed to hospital where doctors told the family she could have died.
On Christmas Eve 2014, she was given the devastating news from specialists that she had a brain tumour, but it was still another six weeks before she was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH).
LCH is a rare disease when a type of white blood cell is overproduced and begins to spread to other parts of the body, including the brain.
Ms Turner underwent chemotherapy, but her parents say the disease had already caused serious damage.
Ms Turner died at 8.20pm on Sunday at her family home, surrounded by loved ones.
She leaves behind partner Joe Glover and their two-year-old daughter Myah Turner.
Hollie and partner Joe
Friends described the young mother as a "hilarious, loving and a brilliant mother".
Hollie's best friend Melissa Glover, 21, also the sister of Ms Turner's partner, said: "Throughout her illness, while she was suffering, she never once moaned about anything and would always put her family first.
"She was so brave and a huge inspiration to those who knew her.
"Most people moan about a sore throat or a headache but Hollie never complained. She was so strong.
"We are all so proud of how she handled her illness. We are all going to miss her so much. She had an incredible sense of humour."
Raised alongside two brothers and a step-brother, Hollie grew up on Canvey, where she lived with parents Ray Turner and Sherrie Thompson.
Melissa added: "I knew her for more than ten years. Her and my brother got together four years ago - Joe was so in love with her.
LCH is a rare disease when a type of white blood cell is overproduced
"She was the most devoted mum you could ever meet."
Speaking previously, Hollie's mum Sherrie Thompson, a shop assistant, said: "She went in to see the doctors on a number of occasions but they
just kept sending her away with depression medication.
"It was only when she collapsed that they realised how serious it really was.
"She was rushed to the hospital where they performed a lot of tests.
"We had just trusted the doctors to know what was going on.
"We are sure that if she hadn't have collapsed and been tested then she wouldn't be with us."
LCH is not strictly a cancer, but is a cancer-like condition. The extremely rare disease affects only one to two adults in every million.

Tiger Woods set for return to scene of success
World number one Tiger Woods will make his first start of 2014 at one of his happiest hunting grounds in the Farmers Insurance Open this week.
As well as winning the last of his 14 major titles at Torrey Pines in the 2008 US Open, Woods has enjoyed phenomenal success in the regular PGA Tour event in La Jolla, California.
In 13 appearances Woods has won seven times, finished runner-up once and recorded a total of 12 top-10 finishes, maintaining a stroke average of 68.61 and shooting under par in 43 of his 51 rounds.
Woods is a total of 173 under par for an event that has earned him almost USD 7million (£4.2m) in prize money alone, but he is not the only top player to have enjoyed significant success at Torrey Pines.
Open champion Phil Mickelson has made 24 appearances in the event, winning it three times and recording two runners-up finishes, and comes into the week on the back of a share of second place on the European Tour in Abu Dhabi.
England's Lee Westwood is also in the field, but the former world number one does not have such happy memories of the course after missing out on a play-off with Woods and Rocco Mediate for the 2008 US Open by a single shot.
"Obviously I played well all week, but it felt like it was one that got away," said Westwood, who now spends most of his time in America and was recently elected to the PGA Tour's player advisory council.
Westwood failed to record a victory in 2013 and told the Golf Channel: "Last year was pretty average. I gave myself a few chances to win tournaments, most notably the Open Championship and probably at Quail Hollow.
"I played consistently well, but not good enough really."

better than Ag-Co needed a light in the dash and had to replace the whole dash!
I wanted a light bulb for my tractor and the parts man searched for a whole hour and did not find it. I had to go home and get the old bulb and take it in the next time I went to town.
Sounds to me like a serious tech manual shortcoming all the way back at the OEM. Don't they have a person assigned to make sure that every individual part in the machine gets documented somehow? Seems to me that if I spend $100,000 for a freakin' planter, I should be able to get a stupid little spring without that kind of trouble.

Last year when we went to Ikea, my daughter pointed out some bead and peg boards which looked a lot like Hama so when it came to Christmas, I decided to get her some.
We paid around 5pound for a tub of 3000 beads which I think is excellent value for money. It is available from most major toy shops for a similar price.
The product concept is really simply yet provides hours of fun, simply place the beads onto a peg board (which is sold separately), iron over the top with a sheet of special paper which causes the beads to bond together.
Hama beads are little cylinders of coloured plastic, in this tub, the beads are a mixture of clear, brown, green, red, yellow, blue and purple and are translucent which I think adds a nice touch.
There are lots of different versions and set available, some are themed and there are also smaller beads available. These beads are classed as midi which means they are slightly bigger than other ones we have, (they measure approximately 5mm x 5mm) which means we have also used them for jewellery making which I another activity Lauren loves. Because these are a little bigger, we both found it easier to manipulate when first using.
The tub which the beads come in is re-sealable which is always a bonus as it means the beads are stored safely and securely when not in use. The set is aimed at children over the age of 5 due to the small parts.
I really like the interaction we can both have with these, we can spend one on one time together just making different designs and talking about day to day events such as school. I find this is the best time to get Lauren to talk to me about what''s happening at school etc (normally she is quite secretive and when I ask her what she has done today at school, the answer is always ?I can''t remember?).
As well as playing together, my daughter will quite happily set and make patterns and pictures herself and then keep them to one side ready for me to iron away which I like because as much as I like spending quality time with Lauren, working full time means I have to spend time at the weekends cleaning etc.
I would say these really to ignite Laurens imagination, she likes to make houses, castle, and animals from these, and I would also say they bring out her artist flare by creating nice colourful patterns.
The fact that the tub contains 3000 beads means that it seems to be lasting for ages, I would say we have played with this several times since Christmas yet there is still more than 75% of the tub left.
I would really recommend these; I have since gone on to repurchase some more sets ready for birthday and my mum has also brought some to play with when we go there visiting. These get 5 put of 5 stars from me.
Thanks for reading.

Happy Holidays from Columbus State
College's Christmas card was designed by a student.
Dmitriy Prokhnevskiy may have transferred to Ohio State University, but his work is representing Columbus State this season.
Prokhnevskiy designed the college's holiday card, which is being sent out by President David Harrison's office and the Columbus State Foundation. Prokhnevskiy designed the card last winter, winning a $500 gift card to the Bookstore.
Prokhnevskiy has since graduated with an Associate of Arts degree, and is now studying gaming and animation at Ohio State. The 21-year-old was born in Kiev, Ukraine, and moved to the U.S. when he was 8 years old.
The card depicts "Vault," the sculpture outside the Bookstore, against a blue, snowy sky. Prokhnevskiy says he placed the recognizable sculpture in the lower corner of the card, like the bow on a present.

Nevada's higher education leaders unanimously approved $2.6 million in "mitigation" funding to help Northern Nevada community colleges adopt a new funding formula.
Gov. Brian Sandoval's budget, approved by the Nevada Legislature just a few days ago, includes a new funding formula for Nevada's seven colleges and universities.
It represents a shift from funding based on student enrollment to one that rewards course completions and graduation rates. Individual campuses now will be able to keep tuition money paid by their students, instead of pooling it statewide and having it redistributed by lawmakers.
Chancellor Dan Klaich, the architect behind the funding formula changes, said it is a more clear and fair way to distribute $362 million in state money to colleges and universities.
Under the new formula, Southern Nevada colleges may expect $8 million to $13 million that previously had gone to Northern Nevada schools, according to some projections.
Lawmakers largely adopted Klaich's funding formula, Klaich told regents during a meeting Thursday in Reno. The Nevada System of Higher Education's Board of Regents and a legislative study committee previously adopted the formula.
However, the Legislature did not fund Klaich's plan to create a "performance funding pool," which would have rewarded universities for conducting more research and community colleges for remediating more students.
Nor did lawmakers approve any "mitigation" money to help rural colleges bridge the funding gap caused by the new formula. Some Northern Nevada colleges were expected to lose as much as 12 percent of their budgets each year over the biennium under the formula, Klaich said.
Both the performance and mitigation funds were priorities for Nevada's political leaders, Klaich said. However, when lawmakers restored faculty pay, which was cut by 2.5 percent in 2009, available funding dried up. (Lawmakers still mandated six unpaid furlough days for faculty.)
"The game sort of changed when the pay bill was passed," Klaich said. "When it passed, there weren't a lot of coins left in the purse."
Although discussions for creating the performance pool could be tabled, Klaich said finding some mitigation money for Western Nevada and Great Basin community colleges was important. The 11 percent to 12.5 percent annual budget cuts to those two schools were "unsustainable," Klaich said.
However, by consolidating three reserve funds, Klaich said he found $2.6 million in "mitigation funding" that could be used to help Western Nevada and Great Basin weather the transition to the new funding formula. Klaich said he didn't advertise the reserve funds to lawmakers until toward the end of the session, when it became clear no state money was available for mitigation.
Both schools will suffer cuts of between 5 percent and 10 percent next year, Klaich said.
Regent Ron Knecht, who is from Carson City, said while he supported the new funding formula, he took issue with the cuts to rural Northern Nevada schools.
"(The mitigation money is) necessary, but it's not nearly enough," Knecht said. "The cuts are too big."

28 nm in volume production says TSMC
1 Comment
SAN FRANCISCO Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) announced Monday (Oct. 24) it had achieved volume production of its 28-nm process with wafers having already shipped to customers.
The foundry said its 28-nm line-up includes 28-nm high performance (28HP), 28-nm high performance low power (28HPL), 28-nm low power (28LP), and 28-nm high performance mobile computing (28HPM), though 28HPM would only go into production at the end of 2011. 28HPM Wafers have, however, already sampled to most mobile computing customers for their product-design use, the firm said.
Customers who have already signed on to use TSMCs 28-nm process include Altera Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), Nvidia Corp., Qualcomm Inc. and Xilinx Inc., with speculation abounding that Apple Inc. too may have silently joined the Taiwanese fabs clientele. In August EE Times reported Apple was bolstering its ties with TSMC in order to distance itself from longtime foundry partner, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., after a spate of legal differences between the two.
Sources revealed at the time that TSMC would make Apples 40-nm A5 dual-core processor on a foundry basis for the iPad 2 tablet, saying the Cupertino, Calif.-based firm would also work with TSMC on the 28-nm process for its A6 processor. Whether this is the case or not, however, is yet to be confirmed.
Samsung, however, has also been reported to be ramping Apple's A6 on its own 28-nm CMOS process, out of its wafer fab in Austin, Texas, but with the levels of legal animosity rising between the two firms over competing tablet and smartphone products, its thought to make sense for Apple to diversify its foundry reliance.
TSMC has also said the 28-nm production is taping out at more than double the rate of its 40-nm predecessor, with over 80 customer product tape-outs already. The foundry says the 28-nm process has also surpassed the previous generations production ramps and product yield in the same time-frame, which it attributes to closer and earlier collaboration with customers.
The news of healthy yields will be a relief to customers like AMD and Nvidia for whom the previous cancellation of the 32-nm process and the delay achieving stable 28-nm production has had an adverse impact. It has meant that the graphics processors (GPUs) of both firms have had to rely on the 40-nm process for more than two and a half years, with yield issues severely crippling supply in the early stages.
German publication Heise Online recently reported AMD would be first to ship new 28-nm GPUs in December of this year, with Nvidia set to release its new GPU generation on 28-nm in the first quarter of 2012. Both reports are currently unconfirmed. Its believed, however, that the first batch of GPUs, from both firms, are likely to be lower-end, mainstream cards, which would test out the new 28-nm process before stretching it for higher-end GPUs due out later in 2012.
While TSMCs senior vice president Jason Chen noted in a press release that his firm was first to 28-nm volume production, Globalfoundries spokesman Jason Gorss told EE Times its high-k metal gate (HKMG) offerings had already been in production for months.
Our 28-nm process is ready, said Gorss, pointing out that Globalfoundries, unlike TSMC, had also produced wafers on the 32 nm process, with HKMG and that 28-nm was simply a shrink of that previous offering. Products on Globalfoundries 28-nm process would emerge sometime in 2012, Gorss noted.
AMDs Llano (A series APU) was produced on Globalfoundries 32-nm process and has been on store shelves since June, said Gorss, adding it was the only HKMG product that could currently be found on store shelves. AMDs long awaited Bulldozer is also made on Globalfoundries 32-nm process.
Another TSMC customer commenting on the 28-nm announcement today was FPGA maker Xilinx, which claims to have been shipping its programmable chips on TSMCs 28-nm process with HKMG to customers since April.
Xilinxs senior vice president of worldwide quality and new product introductions Vincent Tong said the 28-nm HPL process being used to build the firms 7 Series FPGA and processing families had lowered static power by 50 percent, while also increasing both raw performance and usable performance.

alesan99 wrote:JohnHOne wrote:Hard? no,Super Mario World released very,very fast(same day of super nintendo/famicom release)
Uhhh, no
1. Even though Super Mario World was released when the snes was released, that doesn't mean it was made quickly (Wouldn't it make sense that Nintendo works on games before their console is released so people will actually have something to play?).
2. SMW was made by a big company not by a person that make games on his free time.
3. Mari0 isn't SMW
4. Not surprisingly at all, the snes's hardware isn't the same as modern pc's so porting mari0 to it will be a pain (No downloadable mappacks or level editor).
5. There isn't a converter where you can put pc games and turn them into snes games. It would require require remaking SE from scratch or intense modding on an existing game, and I'm quite sure modding in portals in a game isn't easy.
6. I bet the controls would be very comfortable.
P.S. emulators aren't the only way to get games on phones
Automatik wrote:Okay guys, I have a small problem : I actually made a mari0 android port , and you can download the .love file here:
There are on screen buttons for everything except the level editor, the game is using that control scheme I talked about earlier, and the screen is letterboxed. Though the shaders doesn't seem to work(Probably, it's the GLSL version that's different on a phone), and there are a few bugs here and there.
I was able to complete the portal mappack.
The problem is that when I tried to make an apk, I can get to the main-menu, but the game crashes(no Löve BSOD) each time I try to begin a game. Tried to use logcat, nothing really useful was printed. So I gave up, forgot about it for some days, and now I decided to post it.
So if you want to play Mari0 on your Android phone right now, you'll have to install love-android-sdl2 on it, then download the .love file(on your phone), then use some file manager to open the .love.
The version I'm sure I have on my phone : https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/downloads/LOVE_for_android_0.9.1.apk
The latest version : https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love-android-sdl2/downloads/LOVE_for_android_0.9.1b.apk
If one doesn't work, try the other.
Also I'm not updating this.
Finally, the control scheme :
The big blue-orange "stick" is how you control Mario. move yer finger left/rightward to go/run left/right. move it up to jump or climb, down to shoot a fireball/crouch.
Press somewhere else on your screen to fire a portal here. The color of portal will be the color of the stick. Shoot somewhere importalable if you want to simply switch to the other portal color. You can also touch in the direction of a box/button to "use" it. then touch again to drop your box.

Starting this Thursday, the St. Augustine Record would like to introduce Pelican Pete. Parents may have seen his books around town, but now we're bringing the environmentally friendly pelican to the paper every week.
The articles and illustrations will run in the A section.
Each issue will have a fact about the world around us as well as an activity aimed at getting children to head outdoors."We're trying to encourage kids to go outside and discover it for themselves," said author Frances Keiser. "They're spending too much time in front of the television and the computer."
Keiser wants to fight against the trend highlighted by a survey conducted by Nickolodeon. They found that children age 6 to 14 spend an average of 23 hours a week watching television and 17 hours on the Internet.
Other studies and books, such as Richard Louv's "Last Child in the Woods," suggest this may lead to a condition called nature-deficit disorder, where children lose a connection with the natural world.
Pelican Pete will try to coax them back into the sunlight, said Keiser, as a way for them to understand and value the flora and fauna of the world.
"It's a way for children to learn about environmental education in a fun format," said Keiser. "Once they appreciate it, then they want to protect it."
Keiser, the author of the Pelican Pete books and series, works with her husband and illustrator Hugh. The couple lives in Crescent Beach.
Book signing
On Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Keisers will be at the St. Augustine Visitor's Center to autograph books and meet Pelican Pete's pals in the community and visitors to the city.

I live in Nebraska where the wind is always blowing. Always! I fly my Super Cub all the time though. I am pretty confident flying it and am ready to move on. I don't know much of a beginner I am but I agree with you on the fact that light is better. How do the lighter versions compare to the heavier ones? They probably just handle less wind and move a little slower right? THe only thing that I would have on hand right now is a radio. I am assuming that the one that I bought for the 4 channel plane would work.
Please let me know exact numbers when you have time... I am very short on funds right now since I just had lower back surgery a couple weeks ago and I have been out or work since then... and we are expecting our 3rd child in a couple months. Nothing will keep me from flying though I would say that I am pretty handy and also believe that the best part of a plane is building it. So, I wouldn't need any assistance there unless I don't understand the plans. I do really appreciate the fact that you would be able to supply all that I need though because that was the problem with the super dart. I couldn't get a straight answer from anyone. They all had different suggestions.
Sorry to all who had to read through all of this. I should have send a PM.
The problem even with Boomers, is there's so many choices today. In the old days, it was a .049 engine and balsa. Then it was a speed 400 and nicads and balsa or styrofoam.
Now its EPP, EPS, Elapor, Balsa, Composite and more. And then outrunners, inrunners, Lipos and there C ratings, ETC. I could build 30-40 Boomers that all looked the same but were different.
Whats funny though, is my first Boomer, the Slo-Cat, has been crashed by me and students over 40-50 times, had the nose glued back on many times, been stuck in the trees several times and still flys great. And it only has a thin depron tail and used servos. But its glory is its CustomCDR cool single and Castle ESC. It stills goes vertical on a 2 cell lipo, with a flying weight of only 6oz and still alot of fun to fly in front of the house. Butch
A bit of clarification on the tails and ailerons.
They can be built out of anything, balsa, depron, EPP or what ever.
For the slowest sloflyer, depron is best, because of its weight. Balsa could be used as a covered framework to keep it light, but that's a lot of work.
For 1st time beginners, covered balsa offers some strength for the ailerons, the vertical tail in EPP, with a carbon fiber rod imbedded to stiffen them and then depron for the horizontal stab and elevator, to keep them light and because there protected by the EPP tail. The lighter depon ailerons would give it a slower speed, better for beginners, but its a toss-up with beginners bound to crash more than most.
On a faster Boomer, like a 3 cell outrunner, with someone with some experiance, one could use balsa all around. If done right, it would still not weigh too much, so it would still have good sloflight and be strong enough for the faster speeds.
Also, on the beginners and sloflyers, we dont use any wing spars or tape, because its not needed. Maybe a piece of tape across the leading edge for beginners, but not really needed.
But the faster it goes, the stronger its got to be.
My 3 cell outrunner version has depron all around and no tape or spars and flys fine, but it doesn't go real fast, just fun fast! Butch
Many have asked about a video. One of the guys I fly with, took a video of a couple Boomers and said he'll post it later.
I took the Slo-Cat Boomer out at dusk, yesterday in front of my house, in some nasty gusty winds. I was hopeing it would calm a bit, as it does sometimes as the sun sets, but the trash cans were still getting blown over!!
It was in a tree in about 2 minutes! I got it out and tossed it again, this time I kept it a bit higher. My neighbor comes out and says; Isn't it too windy to be flying that thing??
I said Yup, but that's what makes it fun!!
The Slo-Cat Boomer is getting very beat up flying on days like that. Its been crashed 30-40 times. Just the other day, real windy with a student on a buddy box, it got nosed-in and ripped the nose and part of the wing off.
The student was real up-set he crashed it, but I told him thats what its made for and its had the nose ripped off several times before, besides I should have been able to take it from you in time, but the gusty wind was just too quick.
So far the Boomers seem to do fine in the crash department. This Slo-Cat Boomer still has its original 3mm depron tail and has the depron ailerons cracked a couple times.
Besides that and the nose, which is easy to fix, the prop has been smacked into the street several times and replaced.
The Wild-Cat Boomers, both the IPS and outrunner versions, are mainly flown at the field and one has broke the nose a couple times, but so far out of 60-70 flights, the props haven't been hurt.
If I can find 1 lb black EPP, that would make the fuselages softer and less likely to snap, but would be harder to sand the shape. So I'll keep my eyes open for some and try it. Butch
Hey Butch, got a question-- I've been flying my sorta boomer (posted a pic back a few pages), 19T cd kit motor, and I've found that with a 9050 propon a 2s, side to side stability is twitchy-hard to keep level-And when I put a 8040 on and a 3s the twitchy-ness goes away and it flies smooth and controlable. The 3s set up also lets me fly faster and roll faster.
Question is , do you think the larger prop is applying more torq to the wing, making it twitchy? It's strange to me, I found this out after slapping a 2s and 9050 at the field after I used up all my 3s's.
Look forward to your vids
Hey Paul, Its hard to say without seeing it, but I'd say that the smaller prop and 3's gave it some more speed, meaning more control. The faster a plane goes, usually the better it flys, up to where the controls become too sensitive.
Even my real Cessna Aerobat, at lower speeds, took alot of control movement and seemed real slugish and basicly didn't fly so good.
Just because a plane will fly at a slow speed, doesen't mean its flying at it's peek preformance speed.
My first GWS E-Starter, years ago, seemed to fly alright, but not so great on the 10" prop it came with. I switched it to the 9" prop it also came with and Wow what a difference, using the same motor and batt.
The IPS Wild-Cat Boomer will fly pretty slow, but its just kinda lumbering around.
It all depends on the total weight, wing area and airfoil.
If I built a Boomer with a undercambered airfoil and light weight, it would fly real nice, stable and slow, but would not handle any wind. On the other hand a symmetrical airfoil would be great for a fast Boomer and in the wind, but wouldn't slow down so well, unless it was really super lite.
Also the slower it flys, the bigger the control surfaces need to be. Butch
I planed on going flying with the boys today, so last night I decided to take out the Stryker-Cat Boomer and change the GWS 350 motor to a small 24gram outrunner. Its the same motor on the Wild-Cat Boomer and my Ultrafly PC-9.
I set it up for a 910mah 3 cell and used the Unitedhobbies cheap/light ESC they sell.
I had to glue in a composite tube on top of the GWS mounting stick and make a clamp to hold the motor in. I soldered everything up, checked the C/G and batt location.
Installed it, tested it and went to bed.
When I left the house, there was a slight breeze, but at the flying field, it was really blowing. Wheather reports had it at 15-20mph, gusting to 24mph. I stood around till the guys landed there Wings and then we BS'ed a bit.
It really looked too windy to do a maiden, but I was there and at least I'd try.
It was so gusty, I had a hard time putting in the batt, in the right place to get a aprox C/G.
I gave it a toss, hit the power and off she went. I had plenty of control and power, even vertical climbs. It seemed a lot more stable than my Esskay powered Stryker.
It was blowing so hard, I couldn't tell if the C/G was ok or not.
I had just as much control as the Flying Wings the guys were flying, or more.
With the EPP tail and the new outrunner, its about 10.5ozs flying, the same as my PC-9. It seemed to handle the wind just a tad bit better than the Wild-Cat Boomer, but its got a thinner airfoil and weighs 3ozs more.
It was too windy to fly some of the other planes, but just for fun, I tossed my Sky Angel, a 3.2oz, EPP conversion, from a 2ch cheapo plane.
The guys were suprised it flew at all! But it did and was fun. Butch
Hum, My Yahoo wouldn't let me post pics, so I had to go over to AOL.
Thrust Line
Did you use a normal thrust line for lining up your motor, sor did you have it adjusted ? I thought that I remembered reading that keeping the motor inline with the bottom surface of the trailing section of the wing made this plane fly better than the original directions, but A can't find that thread and I was wondering if when you convert to a cat if this would go to a normal wing cord line and if any offset was needed to correct for torque/prop wach? Please let me know!
Each plane design, each airfoil and speed range had its own thrust line requirements.
In general, a non-undercambered wing, set up light, can just set the thrust line on the cord line, if the center line of the motor is close to the cord line as well.
I've lucked out with all my Boomers, setting them up that way. I also set up my fast planes that way as well.
On the stronger outrunners, swinging large props, there is some torque effect, but that's mainly during launch and not so noticeable in flight. Butch

Entirely predictable, mostly silly, and wholly unbelievable. Then again, it's a Teen Comedy and it's called "What A Girl Wants", so what did you expect?
Amanda Bynes, who I believe is a teen TV star by the way the studio bandies her name about (as if everyone should know who she is), stars as Daphne, the love child of American hippy Libby (Kelly Preston) and British aristocrat Henry (Colin Firth). On her 17th birthday, the scrappy teen decides to finally seek out her father, who she has heard a lot about from her mother, but has never met. Separated 17 years ago due to various soap opera-like plots, Henry has no idea Libby was with child at the time.
Seventeen years later, the sprite Daphne, infused with "girls just wanna have fun" attitude, arrives at the doorstep of Henry's impressive estate. Well actually she climbs over the wall and he mistakes her for a paparazzi. Unfortunately Henry is a politician and is running for office, and can't afford an unpredictable (at least to the movie's world) American teen girl amidst high English society. And oh yeah, he's also engaged to the scheming Glynnis (Anna Chancellor), who along with evil daughter Clarissa (Christina Cole), plots to keep the reunited father and daughter apart and other, er, evil stuff.
Of course Daphne has her own pro-Daphne crowd, including Henry's mother (Eileen Atkins), the butler, and English lad Ian (Oliver James), who is also an aspiring musician, not to mention showcasing a strand of hair that refuses to stay down. Before the movie is over, Daphne has wowed the Stuffy English, turned Henry's life upside down, and given her evil competition their rightly deserved comeuppance. Even Jonathan Pryce ("Ronin") turns in an evil role as the mastermind behind Henry's political career.
The fact is, movies like "What a Girl Wants" aren't made for anyone over 15, or who isn't a girl. The casting of Amanda Bynes seems to confirm this, as does the title, which is also the song title of teen skank queen Christina Aguilera, who is popular with squealing teens that make appointments with MTV's "TRL". Girls will enjoy many scenes of the likeable Amanda Bynes supposedly crashing the Stuffy English party, even though it's not like she ever does anything completely out of the question, like kill someone. The most she ever does is push an amorous suitor into a pond and inadvertently destroys a chandelier.
I guess "What a Girl Wants" would work best with people who has never seen these types of movies before. As for myself, I'm still a bit perplexed why movies about Wild and Free Americans busting up the customs of the Stuffy English is still being done. Didn't "King Ralph" already beat this horse to death already? I guess the target audience of "Girl" might think this is all new territory. I guess I'm simply the wrong demographic.
Needless to say, it's a Teen Comedy, so everything will work out in the end. Daphne will get her dad's unconditional love, as well as the love of her boyfriend, and she will have reunited her mom and dad and everyone will live happily ever after. Hey, what did you think was going to happen, some sort of bleak tragic ending?

CAST: Amanda Bynes …. Daphne Reynolds

Today, there are no telegrams
There were darker moments too. Nothing humorous about curtains being drawn after receipt of a telegram. For a small boy the war involved running around, arms outstretched, uttering strange noises; or taking part in 'Germany calling' contests with a nasal voice. To mothers and grandparents, it meant waiting from letter to letter, with the terrible feeling of not knowing.
Today there are no telegrams. No-one forgets receiving that slim bit of yellow paper with its built-in sense of dread. It looked like something produced by a child's printing set, yet it could devastate a family. A telegram could be good news, but it never was. The entire street would know within minutes that a telegram had been delivered. One neighbour would take the children, others would produce sugared tea and sit in silent support. Nothing really could be said.
A genealogist can sometimes catch a reflection of this human tragedy. A certified birth, perhaps a marriage, and then .. nothing. Newspaper archives complete the circle: missing or killed in action. Simple words, but a devastated family.
Later would come a letter from a senior officer. What a thankless task that must have been. Was human loss ever eased by the knowledge of how much respect was left behind?
What and how to tell the children. The parents. The realisation that not enough photographs had been taken. The desperate recollection of the last conversation.
People did carry on. I don't know how. Sometimes when pursuing family connections I'm shown a ageing photograph of a shy young man in uniform, a boy really, looking out with proud and trusting eyes. (That's one of your uncles.. he didn't come back).

Kilmarnock are set to lose midfielder Jamie Hamill to Heart of Midlothian on a free transfer.
The 24-year old is now out of contract and after passing a medical with Hearts yesterday, is set to sign a deal with the Edinburgh club.
Hearts boss Jim Jefferies is no stranger to Hamill, working with him for a while when he was at Killie, and it seems as though he has persuaded the former Scotland U21 international back into his arms.
Aberdeen were hoping to swoop for Hamill but it looks as though he will end up at Tynecastle Stadium as the Jambos look for another top-three finish and Europa League action next season.

Minneapolis city officials say a national girls' volleyball tournament scheduled for 2014 will generate $60 million in economic activity across the metropolitan area.
The USA Volleyball Girls' Junior National Championships will play its eight-day tournament at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
The event's sponsors say the annual competition draws nearly 10,000 athletes and 20,000 spectators.
Melvin Tennant, president and CEO of Meet Minneapolis, said the tournament will be a particular boost to the hospitality industry.
"It's really about jobs and people making their living within this industry," he said. "It's outstanding for our community."
Kristy Cox, event manager for USA Volleyball, said the event will include teams from 39 states.
"The 30,000 people who will visit from across the U.S. and some foreign countries will be returning home to share their Minneapolis experiences with friends and relatives," Cox said. "We're really looking forward to bringing our players, fans and families to Minneapolis in June of 2014."
Minneapolis hosted the championships previously in 2007 and several other amateur volleyball tournaments over the last 10 years.
Tennant said the city is still working with the Minnesota Twins to try to get Major League Baseball to host the 2014 All-Star game at Target Field.

Are you one of the millions of people who use Google+ everyday on your Android device. If so, Google has a treat for you in the form of new updates.
Google's Virgil Dobjanschi took to Google+ this morning to announce five upcoming updates for Google+ on Android. The updates range from usability improvements to the Google killing off certain features in favor of new ones.
First up, Google+ for Android will make account switching much easier. Dobjanschi says it will work a lot like Gmail in that you can now "switch between multiple Google+ accounts with a couple of taps." As for the brand pages you may manage, they'll be in the app menu at all times.
Those of you using Google Apps for Business will be happy to know that Google+ is now fully supported. That means that users will now be able to share content, and see which Google+ users are part of your app's domain. Like always, the Apps administrator will have to enable Google+ for this to work.
For photo and video lovers, Google Drive has now been integrated into Google+ for Android. You can now share media you store on Google Drive directly from Google+, and the social network's new photo editing services will automatically enhance your Google Drive photos.
Location sharing has also received an update that allows you to share either your pinpoint or city-level location with others on a circle-by-circle basis. Don't want the people in your work circle knowing where you are? You can hide this information from them while letting those in your Friends circle know what's up.
Finally, Dobjanschi says that Google is killing off Google+ Messenger. At Google I/O, the company launched a separate app called Hangouts that's basically Google+ Hangouts and Messenger rolled into one. That means Google+ Messenger itself is now redundant so it's getting the axe. Some may want to save their Google+ conversations, however, so Google will allow those users to download them via Google Takeout later today.
Dobjanschi says that the new Google+ for Android will be rolling out to Google Play over the next few days. It's not there just yet, but we'll update this story to let you know when it goes live.

Posted under Parents & Private Schools & Public Charter Schools & School Choice & School Finance & State Legislature
Another day at the state legislature, more setbacks for school choice. I'm back from school, have my homework done, so I wanted to share this quick update.
Dead on arrival? Yes, that would be a proposal by state senator Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, to create a modest pilot property tax credit for families who take their child out of public school and enroll him in a private school or homeschool program. The Democrat-controlled State Affairs Committee terminated Senate Bill 221 (PDF) on a party-line vote.
In other news, the state house shot down an attempt to restore cuts in public charter school facilities funding.
