L-iving in a world of vast
souls formed from
another voided world,
E-ntering thru portals
from their world to earth.
O-ozing spetacular smell
and wail when the chips
are down.
N-urtured from cradle to
entity with a new world
to face.
O-rganizes oneself for the
task ahead,passing thru
hurdles of life unabased
and unabashed.
R-eaps the fruit of labor
with joy or heavy heart.
A-ge sets in,mission
accomplished or not will
dawn on the entity.
I-n retrospect,he thinks
about his childhood and
how life was to him.
L-iving in confidence or
shame,he bows his head
in victory or defeat.
O-nly the taste of time
will tell the durability of
his achievements.
V-oid of preference the
aim result bears the
foundation for his lineage.
E-njoyment or lack lies
with the works of the
man,for there is no food
for the slothful.
Y-oung ones,a stitch in
time saves nine,make
haste while the sun
O-iling your lamb always
like the ten virgins is the
key to success.
U-rging you to shun peer
pressure and focus on
the course marked out
for you by fate,so a
fulfilled life you shall live.
An acrostic for you

P aranoia permeates, etching itself into your fractured face,
A cacophony of constant pressure; life remains a stressful race,
N othing to hope for, no positives like promotion in the workplace,
I nability to love, relationships lift anchor and set sail without chase,
C hildren crushing dreams under mortgages; age grows with disgrace

Chaotic disarray no doubt,
Lost things never found,
Understanding things must change,
Time is wasted searching 'round.
Take control and organize,
Everything must have its place.
Remove the unessential junk,
Freeing up much needed space.
Regroup, remove, refine, refresh,
Eventually you'll have success,
Evicting all your cluttered mess.
(Now if I'd only follow my own instructions!)

Who am I?
Question indeed!
W-eaned from tender
age,in noble family of ten.
H-urt by the demise of
the tube that brought
me into this theater of
struggles and pains.
O-rdered about by the
whimps of this
world,facing the hurdles
of life daily from
cradle,never giving up
A-fine young man of 28
I am,who has the
experience and wisdom
of the aged.
M-astering the arts of
life-learning from lessons
of life's victims and
didactic poems 'cos man
of fame I intend to be for
I bear the name Bob.
I-lost my poetic gift at a
stage but recovered it in
poetrysoup for invisible
entities say a
lesser being I shall be,but
another encourages me
to move on,for great is
one who comes out of
the shackles of life
undeterred for this is who
I am.

Soar as high as your wings can carry you
Up, up and away to the zenith of the highest
Mountain to touch a distant dream, to touch the
Moon, or perhaps stars and constellations
In the night sky. Push your boulder of dreams up
The summit, achieving what Sisyphus could not.

Sometimes we look to closest friends,
Expressly those who think we're ace:
Let them confirm our worth but still
Forget, inside us lies the proof.
Actualization calls for a
Command of strength and keen logic
To shape ourselves, at last, to get
Unknown rewards on our plateau.
And with revealed goals, we take a
Lone journey through heart and soul
In our quest...a long safari,
Zestfully seeking life's pizzazz,
And a fruitful new arena
That hones our talents as our gift.
Inner joy promotes stimuli
Of further searches, that lead to
New trails of self-completion.

New Year's Day dawns bright and clear.
Expectant of an unused year,
We vow to break old habits.
Young or old, we all agree
Everything shall better be.
And as the new year begins,
Ruefully we count our sins,
Seeming to multiply like rabbits.
Down with the old, up with the new.
As Twenty-Thirteen on the old Earth spins,
Year's best I wish for all of you!

Jump right in with or without the suit;
Unless you're kicked there by someone's boot.
Sitting around is just stagnation,
Thus there'll be no celebration.
Deliver something into this realm;
One or two things won't overwhelm.
In life, we must all make contributions;
Try a bit of creative infusion.
Never endeavor to procrastinate
Or you may meet, with the worst of fates.
Wonders then, they will abound; everyone will want you around.

"Eric's Second Rule of Wisdom"
by: Eric L. Boddie
Exercise reason in choosing Love, be only doubtful during intense erotica....
Copyright © eric boddie | Year Posted 2015
Sweet sounds of every day enriching the life
Empty dark lucky enough into your lights
Life looks in the mirror at its crimson strife
Feeling within how the stars getting bright
As I walk in the garden looking for your window
Curious to collect the crystals from your braid
Towards a home in pomegranate that I know
Unable if I am to make it, I'll lose the cool shade
An amazing struggle between two colored sparks
Lovely corridors into the world of your red roses
In the lightning and laughter that defy the dark
Zeal absolute for the shaft of light that discloses
An arrival at self designed patterns of joy in love
The words aplenty to speak in a voice of poetry
Intensely waiting inside the golden trophy cup
Of tomorrow, your pleasant trellises look at me
Nice construction and deconstruction, this life

Before you read the poem please put together the first alphabet of each line to understand the theme…success personified (acrostic style with rhyme)
Seeds sown at the child's birth,
Understand that to be born in sin, there is no dearth.
Cease to reason why the mother her name is always betrayal,
Come on we all know her best girl friends are struggle, heartache, disappointment and denial.
Ease into the child ears soft strain of lullabies of hardship,sorrow,grief and of people on trial.
Sure we are that the father his name is sufferings, his buddies are tragedy and despair,
Sweet child of the unholy union can be the one to get the electric chair,
But is known as SUCCESS if given tender loving care,
Oh its roots are always never too rich, that of multimillionaire.
Rise from the crowd below and climb the steps of glory,
Now on is the only aim for him so that in his memoir he can write a fine story….

Acrostic for the WORD and the Christian concept of CROSS
Christ cares so much, He condescended to become a weak human Child. Confess Jesus is LORD, & cross over with God's forgiveness (Romans 10)
R RESURRECTION (Rise after Religion kills you)
Religion & Roman Empire crushed Jesus. Religions crucify humans; Jesus
died as a human, resurrected bodily, & revealed He is God
(next 40 days)
O ONE and ONLY
One God in Three Persons: Father, Son, Holy Spirit (Almost like 3
functions, ONE GOD)
Only way to Heaven is through Jesus. Only He is Perfect & Perfect
Sacrifice for sin. Jesus is Wahad & Qurbaan that Ibrahim wanted.
Genesis (chapter 22)
S SIN and SUCCESS
Sin was paid in full on the Cross. God became human (Jesus) to take our
place of death for sins. Jesus succeeds in everything we fail to please God
S SOLUTION and SHEPHERD
The Cross answers, How to survive sin & judgment & enjoy God's LOVE
(Justice & Forgiveness cross at the cross). Become like a
lamb or sheep, & Jesus will prove He is the Perfect Shepherd who will die
defending His sheep.

When one decides which thoughts he shall portray,
Remembering wherein his dreams abide,
Imagination through each phrase untied.
Those dancing thoughts upon a page find way.
Idle words lay sleeping one more day.
Not sound nor phrase decides its wordy stride.
Go, now thinkers on your sweet dreams glide.
Successful writing, in one's thoughts finds play.
Unleashed are fantasies through word and rhyme.
Caressed, each thought in imagery and word.
Collisions of life's peace and pain, now poetry.
Express thy loves and sorrows throughout time.
Sing sweet the songs where reason seems absurd.
See sunshine smile its face, my friend, on thee.

Sparkle and shine, sparkle and soar;
Poise paves sure way, poise lives pure grace;
Intent fits fine, intent holds oar;
Reclaim your say, reclaim your space;
Ideas and lines, ideas and more;
Truth heals your play, truth minds your race;
Urge now defines, urge now restores;
Align your day, align your core;
Love what feels fine, love what soul pours.
See beyond wealth, see beyond things;
Use touch to heal, use stuff to share;
Choice starts clear health, choice funds all flings;
Charm offers feel, charm pleasures fare;
Express your thought, express your good;
Sense lovely thrills, sense lively wares;
Success frames plot, success primes mood.
Start as you are, start with big heart;
Trust what you feel, trust what you know;
Align your stars, align your art;
Reach out to fill, reach out to show;
Touch takes you far, touch soothes each part;
Set out to heal, set out to grow.
Seek tact that binds, seek fields that pace;
Peace firms sure stay, peace lives clear voice;
Heed soul and mind, heed heart and grace;
Endow each day, endow each choice;
Reach with love kind, reach with cheer's face;
Employ wise play, employ warm poise.

Jubilance is key to living a good and happy life! Live life to the fullest with me! Man, I can relate to you! We all go through our ups and downs! I wish you good luck and fortune in this life.
Umm…I'm speechless – you make me smile all the way! You make my day, buddy! Can you help me stay on track? I'm thankful that you got my back and got rid of the debt stack!
And…I'd like to ask you – Can you sprinkle your salt and pepper upon my distasteful flavor? In other words, can you inspire me to run the extra mile? Can you set my passion aflame and help me to stay strong till the end? You are the light on the surface of the chaotic ocean…
Never stop believing and trying with all of your might – run and take flight until you reach the finish line! We will both thrive if we just strive…I can see you're running fast and hard just by the sweat of your brow! Wow, you amaze me by your talents…WOW!

Sincerity in true beliefs
Endeavours to pursue.
Look deep into your mortal soul
For therein lies the proof.
A change of face, now one with great charisma.
Creates a challenge to all thoughts, by being more eclectic.
Then cast away all doubts, and put this alter ego to the test
Unloose the past and say farewell, adieu.
After all this fine extravaganza
living life the way we all should lead, nobodies fool.
Improving know-how, learning lessons from the literati
Zooming upwards, charming with a suave pizzazz.
And to carry your convictions, with a certain kind of aura
Thinking clearly,to do what is considered best.
If however, much mistaken, don't seek out an alibi
Overcome those smallest errors, without much more ado.
Never doubt these qualities your future needs, to don a cap and gown.

Another pizza-related thread in Serious Eats Talk today. This time Pizza Dan says: "I've made thousands of pizzas and I've never had the yeast fail. So I don't proof my yeast when I make pizza dough. In fact, the only way it might fail is by proofing it with water that's hot enough to kill the yeast. So I just add the yeast to the flour, salt and water and turn out authentic pizza that elicits pleas for dinner invitations." Not so much a question, but if you've got something you want to add, click on through to the other side »

Street lit, urban lit, or hip-hop lit—whatever you may call it—the popular and controversial genre generally focused on crime, sex, and violence set in African-American neighborhoods, will be examined in Behind Those Books, an independently produced documentary that will premiere May 27 at the Tribeca Cinemas in New York City. The film is produced by the team of Kaven Brown and Mills Miller, two young men well-known in the world of urban lit, after having written, published, promoted, and marketed urban fiction for years before becoming filmmakers.
Both 28 years old, Brown and Miller are cousins whose relationship is so close that they finish each other's sentences. Miller, who directed the 70-minute film, is a director of music videos and films through his production company, Mills Miller Media. The film is billed as "the first and only comprehensive documentation on film of this controversial genre," and an extended 13-minute trailer of the film went viral after it was released over the Internet, via the Behindthosebooksmovie.com Web site.
While the genre remains popular among readers, often inspiring them to write and self-publish their own books, street lit has also sparked intense debate over how the books portray the African-American community. The film's trailer offers a lively mashup of the many opinions—from wildly enthusiastic supporters to apoplectic critics—that exist among street lit writers, readers, and publishers.
Brown, the film's writer and producer, told PW that before the pair became filmmakers, they started a publishing company called KreativeMindz Productions. Through the company, Brown wrote and self-published his first book, Two Face, an urban suspense thriller featuring organized crime, merciless killers, and crafty lawyers. While promoting the book, the pair made so many contacts at conferences and during personal appearances that in 2006 they created an online publication, the Urban Book Source (theubs.com), to focus on urban lit. "There were no avenues then for these authors, so [the site was] a place for book reviews, author interviews, and editorials, to give the genre a voice," said Brown, who remains the creative editing manager for the Urban Book Source.
The pair decided to make a documentary, Brown said, "because of all of the controversy that surrounded street lit—i.e., 'it's not real literature; the book covers are too raunchy, too graphic; it dumbs readers down,' etc. Street lit gets the same backlash as hip-hop music: 'it recycles violence back into the community; the language is too explicit.' We wanted to explore the topic, to see why the authors create these stories, and let [the viewers] make their own decisions."
The fact that many street lit authors are former convicts also taints the genre, Brown said, "but for them to come out and start their own companies is huge—they are making a living and are able to feed themselves, and now they are feeding other writers. Some kids who have never picked up a book, now do." Brown said that while he did not think urban lit should be the only thing people read, "it is a stepping stone. Also, we wanted to focus on authors and publishers who made a substantial contribution to street lit and have inspired others."
Miller said, "As a young man who grew up in an environment that was not conducive to good things, I definitely feel that [street lit] shows that there's both good and bad. At least kids will now pick up a book." But there are other authors, Miller acknowledged, like novelist Nick Chiles—who has been highly critical of street lit—"who said [street lit authors] need to write better, that the books have editing issues and that [street lit] is not good for black kids."
Not sidestepping the controversy, Behind the Books follows the evolution of street lit through a series of interviews with insiders: authors, editors, literary agents, hip-hop artists, fans, activists, and vendors. In addition to Chiles, authors voicing their opinions onscreen include Terry McMillan, Zane, Omar Tyree, Teri Woods, Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, Kevin Powell, Queen Pen, Vickie Stringer, Nikki Turner, K'wan, and Treasure E. Blue. The film also takes a look at the harsh realities of urban street life that set the stage for the stories.
The team began filming in March 2007 on a budget of just under $18,000; the two "financed it out of our own pockets," Miller said. "We didn't want to wait for anyone to give us a green light." The crew included associate producer Fran-chesca Ho Sang and two correspondents, Chris Howard and Al Rutherford. "Plus, Kaven and I have a side hustle as video directors," Miller said, "and we do all the photography—so that helped us secure the financing."
Along with the documentary, Miller noted, the pair is writing a companion book of the same title. "We're self-publishing the book, although we're not sure on what platform. And of course it will be an e-book."
After the New York City film premiere, he said, "We will do an East Coast tour, then Philly and all the big film festivals—Sundance, Tribeca, Cannes—and then we will entertain ideas of distribution and networks. But for now, we will keep it independent."

So, it's absolutely incredible for Clinton to lie. She is lying about not knowing what that is," and that "an important part of civil liberties is respect for the First Amendment and the rule of law, and that has broken down under the Obama administration, and Hillary Clinton was part of that process." Assanged said, "In the FBI report released Friday, I agree with your analysis, it is very strange that was released Friday afternoon on a labor weekend. I do think it draws questions to what sort of game the FBI is trying to play. But, there is, Hillary Clinton says that she can't remember what a c in brackets stands for.

Dear Slice, Got to your site from the NY Times article on Domino's Brooklyn Pizza. Since I live in NC now, this is what passes for pizza down here. I am originally from Brooklyn and haven't had a good slice of pizza since the last time I was in NY.
I notice that the state of NC doesn't have a link on your site. Does this mean that there is no place in the whole state to get a good slice of pizza? I live near Matthews, which is Southwest of Charlotte.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, although we aren't ready to move back to NY....yet. Susan V.
Dear Susan, The Pizza by Location list in the left-hand sidebar indicates that we've got some sort of blog post (review or commentary) from a specific city, state, or country. If there's no link, there's no content for that area.
But don't despair! Just because we don't have a North Carolina link there doesn't mean there's not good pizza to be had in the Tarheel State. Fellow pizzablogger Tom Sliker maintains the New York Pizza Blog, which seeks the best New Yorkstyle pizza joints outside of New York City. In North Carolina, he lists:
Roma's Pizzeria: Atlantic Beach
Anthony's Pizza: Bryson City
Carlo's Pizza: Charlotte
I hope you're close to one of those.
Hasta la pizza, Adam

PARIS (AP) -- The Paris premiere of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" was canceled Friday after a gunman killed at least a dozen people at a Colorado opening of the same film.
Workers were pulling down the red carpet display in front of a movie theater on the French capital's famed Champs-Elysees after the premiere was called off. Some could be seen carrying away a large mask that had adorned the facade of the theater.
Warner Bros. said in a statement that it was also canceling all media interviews in the city.
A man wearing a gas mask released an unknown substance into a crowded movie theater in a Denver suburb and opened fire early Friday. At least 12 people were killed and at least 50 wounded. The shooter, a man in his 20s, has been arrested.

Gasoline prices continued to edge downward in North County through the last week.
Led by BP-Arco, the price of a gallon of regular unleadedgasoline dropped about 2.6 cents during the week, leaving the NorthCounty average about $1.68.
"This is a continuation of a general downward trend for the last 11 weeks," said Charles Langley, who conducts a weekly survey of gasoline prices for the North County Times.
"I hope it continues," he said.
The trend was so broadly based last week that of the 192 gasoline stations surveyed in North County, only five posted price increases.
The lowest price for regular unleaded gasoline in North County was $1.56 at a 7-Eleven/Citgo at the intersection of Escondido Boulevard and Felicita in Escondido. For a penny more, it could be bought at a number of other locations in Escondido, including Arco AM-PM at Iris and El Norte Parkway, Texaco on the east side of Interstate 15 and El Norte Parkway, Quick Corner at Centre City Parkway and Felicita, and K2/Valley Fuel at East Valley Parkway and Rose.
The military-only service station at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base priced its gas at $1.58, which also was Costco's price in Carlsbad. Mohsen's two gas stations in Oceanside, and Golden State gas stations in Oceanside and Vista, also were pricing regular gas at $1.58 per gallon.
The average price of the 50 cheapest gas stations in North County was $1.60.
Gasoline prices actually drifted upward outside California, according to the federal Energy Information Agency -- but not much. You could still buy regular gas in Houston for $1.36. Motorists in San Francisco paid $1.91 per gallon.
Valero's Benicia refinery was back up and running by Monday, helping to relieve pressure in the California marketplace. Two separate refinery problems in Texas threatened prices throughout the Southwest, but were not likely to have an impact here.

Okay, maybe this sounds silly. But I have an E6420 with this fancy HDMI port on the back of it. And I have a 6 month old Toshiba TV with plenty of empty HDMI-in ports. How the heck do I get it to display on my TV? Apparently just plugging in an HDMI cable isn't the trick, because nothing happens. Is there some kind of Fn+F8 combo like there is with VGA that I need to use or something? Thanks!
Hi igendreau,
Welcome to the Community.
Once you connect the HDMI cable between the TV and system,you need to select the Input source using the remote or the menu on the TV itself ( Example HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 depending on which HDMI port you have used on the TV)
Than on the system go to Control Panel,Display,Change Display settings.
On that window you'll see that it shows there are two different displays, but one of them will be disabled.
Click on the second monitor then choose "Extend the desktop onto this monitor" and click "Apply". The HDTV screen should come to life and show you a Windows desktop background photograph. If it doesn't, try again. Sometimes you have to select this more than once.
I recommend that you now tweak the resolution on the second screen to be at least 1100 x 650, depending on what options you have.By adjusting the resolution you can have the background photo spread across the TV screen.Make sure the sound is not muted and adjust the volume on the TV and system accordingly.
Now you can drag things across to the TV screen and use TV as the extended display.
Hope this helps,
Thank You

I'm very familiar with using VGA with external monitors, TVs, projectors... both to clone or to use as extended desktops. So what you're saying is, it should basically work similar to that. I was just wondering if the HDMI process is somehow different. For some reason, my laptop isn't showing up on the secondary screen. Maybe I'll try updating the NVidia driver and see if that helps matters. Thanks for the update though!
Did it work after updating the driver?
Thank you,
I am also facing same issue - connecting E6420 to Toshiba 46L5200U. Laptop is not at all recognizing the TV.
I have latest display driver and also updated the firmware in TV.
I have a brand new E6420, and although 2 monitors (a DVI and a VGA) are hooked up, it will only recognize one of the monitors. Plese help
Here's what I ran into, and how I fixed it:
We use 6420s, and I noticed in device manager that they have BOTH Intel AND NVidia video drivers installed. The only conclusion I could find was that Intel was driving the computer's LCD display and NVidia was driving HDMI. So, if I would use the keyboard (Fn + F8) to change the display, it would work fine for VGA connections, because those fell under the control of the Intel card. Same thing for if I chose "screen resolution" from the desktop. All those were only addressing the intel card, which controls VGA and built-in display.
To use HDMI, which falls under Nvidia, connect your cable and then right-click on the desktop and choose the Nvidia control panel. From there, you can control display cloning and extending the display to your HDMI monitor/display.
Hope this helps someone- I spent a lot of time tearing hair out over this.
Dear Roshan,
I have DELL Lattitude model. Using my lapto I try to connect my Sony bravia LCD with HDMI cable.

Hi Muthu,
Welcome to the Community,
Try the steps below and see if it helps :
Turn off both TV and your Latitude system.
Connect the HDMI cable between the TV and system.
Turn on both TV and system.
Select HMDI input on the TV Display menu.
On the system go to Control Panel,Display,Adjust Resolution,click on Detect.

Hi Guys,
In my case the problem was the cable - I got a quality cable (by quality I mean any branded cable and not the one that comes free with cable box) and everything worked fine.
It's more of a TV not accepting the wrong cable - laptops are pretty flexible.
Hi Roshan

I know this an old post, but I had the same problem, last night (04/25/14), and I came to this forum for suggestions. My lattitude uses an Intel graphics program, but I suspect it will work with whatever graphics program controls your laptop. I changed the refresh rate in the settings to 60p from plain 60. I remembered that my TV was a 1080p, and once I changed the refresh rate, to match the letter designation of the TV, viola! It worked. Good luck!
I have a dell latitude 6440, and am trying to export just video via the VGA port but researching the VGA to rca video or s-video cables, people are having a hard time because their laptops do not have tv-out option... Does my laptop have the option to use a vga to s-video cable ?
I tried this, I had no options for changing any settings on NVIDA except 3 D rendering?? Not detecting my HDMI at all.
In Nvidia control panel there is no control display cloning and extending the display to your HDMI monitor/display option in windows 10. PLease help

Eddie the Library Dog
January 06, 2011
Watch out Dewey the Cat. This is Eddie the Library Dog. He was found near the library last year. His fur was matted, he was skinny from being on the street for a few days, but he was full of love and affection. Quite frankly, it was love at first sight for me.
I could not bear to take him to the pound. I called animal control to let them know a dog was found in the area. That night, he went home with me. Over the next week, I posted ads on different websites and visited local vets to see if the dog looked familiar to anyone. He was found without tags, and he wasn't micro-chipped. I didn't name the dog because I didn't want to get attached to him. That was a lost cause! A week later, the ads came down and he became mine. I tried out several names, including Puppy, Chester, and Chip. Eddie, short for Edmund J. Crookshanks, was the name that stuck. That name came out of nowhere, by the way.
The library helped me be the best doggy mom I could be. Here are some books that really helped me adjust to and adore life with a dog.
Dog Treats: Practical Projects to Pamper Your Pooch That Prove You Care by Eve Devereaux
Dog Show by Molly Russell
Pamper Your Pooch by Sarah Whitehead
Mutts Shelter Stories: Love. Guaranteed by Patrick McDonnell
Mini Encyclopedia of Dog Training & Behavior by Colin Tennant
The Sit Down, Come, Heel, Stay, and Stand Book by Claire Arrowsmith

He's adorable!
Hooray for you for keeping him! I agree, the library has terrific resources about all kinds of pets.

EATON TWP. — A man was charged with indecent exposure after his neighbors accused him of pulling his genitals out of his pants and "jumping up and down" in the yard.
The man, 67-year-old Joseph Plata, was arrested after an investigation March 23.
Plata's neighbors said they've had ongoing problems with Plata, who they said has exposed himself in the past. They told police the last time Plata exposed himself, their small children witnessed it.
When asked if Plata exposed himself to his neighbors, Plata told the officer, "No, I was just itching." He later admitted to exposing his genitals after some questioning, saying that he did so as a "screw you to my neighbors," according to a Lorain County Sheriff's report.
Plata pleaded not guilty to two counts of indecent exposure at Elyria Municipal Court, and he was ordered to have no contact with his neighbors.
A pre-trial on the charges is scheduled for 2:35 p.m. April 15.

Stock end trading week treading water
Stocks ended the week more or less where they started it. Investors were watching closely while lawmakers in Washington worked at thrashing out a budget agreement.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 3.76 points to close at 13,025.58. That's a gain of a total of 16 points for the week, one of the Dow's smallest moves this year.
Along the way, the market had several sharp turns both up and down after key figures in the talks, such as House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama, offered contrasting views about how well the talks were going.
The Standard & Poor's index edged up 0.02 percent to 1,416.18. The Nasdaq composite fell 0.06 percent to 3,010.24.
The main driver for markets this week has been the talks between the White House and Congress over the "fiscal cliff," a series of sharp government spending cuts and tax increases scheduled to start Jan. 1 unless an agreement is reached to cut the budget deficit. Economists say that those measures could push the U.S. economy back into a recession.
For the year, the Dow is up 808.02, or 6.6 percent; the S&P 500 is up 158.58, or 12.6 percent; and the Nasdaq is up 405.09, or 15.6 percent. -- AP

It's funny how quickly things can change when it comes to the New York Yankees.
Just two weeks ago, there were plenty of people responding angrily to Derek Jeter's attempts to milk extra cash and years out of the Yankees because of his role in creating so many great memories for the franchise. No man is bigger than the Yankees, they argued, and if Jeter doesn't want to accept his medicine then just hand the job to Eduardo Nunez and move on down the road.
There was a very different tune heard across the city when Cliff Lee decided to sign with the Phillies. Suddenly one man's choice to play for someone other than the Yankees meant that the sky had fallen over the Bronx. The Red Sox added Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez, meaning that they were now way ahead of the Yankees who, if you believe some of the voices on sports radio and message boards, there's no chance to compete for a title unless the Yankees trade for Felix Hernandez.
That's too bad because there's very little chance of that happening. Hernandez is signed through 2014 and the Mariners don't have any pressing reason to make a move that will further delay their return to respectability.
And, whether the gloomier voices like to admit it or not, there's not much of a compelling argument for the Yankees to sacrifice the kind of treasure it would take to get Hernandez here either. Lost somewhere in the great Lee chase was the fact that the 2010 Yankees won 95 games and went to the American League Championship Series. Assuming Andy Pettitte decides to come back, the 2011 Yankees will look a lot like that team. Yes, the Rangers beat them and no one's suggesting this is a perfect team, but it is hardly a team without the ability to contend for a playoff spot right this minute.
That's pretty reassuring when you realize there are still two months before Spring Training and more than three months until Opening Day. The Yankee team as presently constructed will not get any worse between now and then, but it can get better and it can better in a lot more places by wisely reallocating funds earmarked for Lee around the team.
Everyone assumed that the Yankees' financial largesse was a boon because it would enable them to sign Lee for more money than anybody else. That wasn't true. But their money will still allow them to make moves for players that make the roster deeper than the one that we last saw losing Game Six. Think about bringing back Kerry Wood and adding another bullpen arm while also grabbing a productive righty bat for the outfield. Maybe the rotation hole gets filled now or perhaps it is in July when a prospective contender decides to cut bait or just maybe Ivan Nova proves to be worthy of being a fifth starter in the big leagues.
This isn't an attempt to put lipstick on a pig. The questions about A.J. Burnett, Phil Hughes and even Pettitte make losing out on Lee a big problem for the Yankees. It isn't an insurmountable problem, especially not if Brian Cashman can prove his oft-stated belief that winning isn't only about the money for the Yankees.

Financiers of the world, disunite
Diversity across banks and other financial firms promotes a resilient financial system because differing risk profiles reduce the likelihood of systemic crises caused by shared economic shocks. Consolidation and uniformity among banks and other financial intermediaries do the opposite. ; Yet some have suggested that any policy steps to reverse the financial system's dramatic consolidation might yield little stability benefit because herd-like behavior among financial firms could still reduce diversity and mitigate any strengthening. If these firms moved in concert, the argument goes, they would make themselves susceptible to common shocks as if they had adopted a more consolidated structure. ; Countering this concern are indications that financial firms, when allowed to flourish, display stability-enhancing diversity. We find that hedge funds—despite a reputation for high-risk strategies and correlated behavior—recently have exhibited significant strategic dissimilarities, to the benefit of system stability.

The number of active duty and reserve component members enrolled in the federal Thrift Savings Plan will hit a half million this month. Recent improvements could encourage many more to join, say plan administrators.
In July, TSP began year-round enrollment, in place of twice-yearly "open seasons." The open seasons didn't always coincided with periods of transition, like boot camp or reassignment, when member are dealing with personnel offices and opening a TSP account is more convenient.
A second, more important change was the introduction in August of "Life Cycle" or L Fund options. Designed by experts, the funds will keep TSP savers on the "efficient frontier of investing" by providing "all of the investment return they should get for the risk they're taking," said Gary Amelio, executive director of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board.
The board administers TSP for 1.9 million federal civilian employees and, since March 2002, for the military. While TSP is integral to a healthy retirement plan for many federal civilians, because it combines with their more modest defined benefit plan, for service members it's an opportunity to save and invest in quality funds at minimum expense. And though TSP is intended to boost retirement wealth, participants can borrow against accounts at attractive rates to buy a car, finance college or make a down payment on a home.
The Navy leads the services in touting TSP. Through September, 41.1 percent of active duty sailors had TSP accounts versus 30 percent of Marines, 26.6 percent of Air Force members, 25.6 percent of Coast Guard personnel and 18.7 percent of soldiers. TSP popularity climbs with rank.
Carl Witschonke, the uniformed services representative to a TSP employee advisory council, provided examples of how the money can grow.
A new recruit who contributes five percent of basic pay each month, about $57, and earns a modest return of 7.5 percent annually, will have $83,000 in a TSP after 20 years. If the member retires, making no more contributions, the account still will climb to $440,000 by age 60. If the same member serves another 10 years, still contributing 5 percent of basic pay and drawing a 7.5 percent return, the account would grow to $257,000 at the 30-year mark and to $658,000 by age 60.
A typical officer will accumulate $163,000 in 20 years, which would grow to $643,000 by age 60. If the officer stayed 10 more years, TSP would climb to $483,000 by the 30-year mark and reach $927,000 by age 60.
Until August, TSP offered five investment funds, listed here with average annual returns over the last 10 years: Government Securities Investment or "G" Fund (5.75 percent); Fixed Income Index Investment or "F" Fund (7.72 percent); Common Stock Index Investment, or "C" Fund (11.99 percent); Small Capitalization Stock Index Investment or "S" Fund (11.84 percent) and International Stock Index Investment or "I" Fund (5.45 percent).
Amelio, when he became executive director in June 2003, wanted to address two problems. One was that 52 percent of all assets were invested in government securities, the G Fund, which isn't intended for long-term investing. Military savers are particularly cautious, with 57 percent still keeping 100 percent of their TSP accounts in the G Fund.
"It won't provide the kind of capital growth needed over a 20-, 30-, 40-year time horizon to provide a more comfortable retirement," Amelio said.
His second concern was that TSP investors were "overwhelmed" by the fund choices and uncertain how to allocate assets effectively.
"Most participants are not investment professionals. They don't have the time to read up on everything and make intelligent decisions," he said.
His solution to both problems, Amelio said, is the new Life-Cycle or "L" funds. To create them, Amelio hired investment professionals to mix five existing TSP funds in combinations that maximize returns and minimize risk based on when investors expect to retire and start to draw down TSP. L Funds have been explained in marketing materials and at the TSP website, www.tsp.gov. Soon participants will receive a CD too to understand how they can shift accounts into just one L Fund and leave it there. The key is professionally prepared asset allocation models that diversify investments so TSP investors don't have to, Amelio said.
For example, TSP enrollees expecting to retire by 2008 are encouraged to move all assets to the most conservative L "Income" fund, which initially keeps 74 percent of total assets in the G fund, 12 percent in the C fund, 6 percent in F fund, 5 percent in I Fund and 3 percent in the S fund.
Young investors with time horizons of 30 years or more are encouraged to move all TSP assets to the most aggressive "L 2040" fund. The number is the approximate year of full retirement and, thus, the year when the fund matures. Others L funds are for 2010, 2020 and 2030.
L Fund assets are adjusted daily to maintain the planned mix. Every quarter, however, the asset allocation will be adjusted slightly to become more conservative because retirement is drawing nearer.

NASA says strange "moon music" recording has been public for years
NASA says that a recording of bizarre whistling sounds heard on the far side on the moon by the Apollo 10 astronauts in 1969 has been public for years.
After the Discovery channel in the US aired a story about the whistling sounds last night, there were reports the recording had just been released, but NASA says it has been available since 1973 in the National Archives.
In the recording, one of the astronauts refers to the whistling sounds as outer-space-type music but has told NASA he now thinks it was likely to be radio interference.

Nerve Renew, the supplement used for neuropathy support, has become quite popular. Thus, it is recommended for anyone experiencing nerve pains. Its popularity is attributed to its effectiveness in alleviating nerve pains. Real reviews from actual users are available in large numbers to back up the fact. It is also cheaper compared to other competing products used to treat nerve pain. According to the official NeuropathyCure website, the ingredients used in the formula are responsible for making it as effective as it is. All the primary ingredients used to make it are described below.
Main ingredients in Nerve Renew
Vitamin B
Vitamin B is well known to help deal with nerve problems. Nerve Renew contains it at an increased bioavailability of up to 3 times. This makes it a lot easier for your body to absorb it as opposed to other products that simply fill your body with the difficult to absorb vitamin B1, also known as thiamine. Bioavailability is increased by the vitamin B1 being delivered through benfotiamine that can easily be absorbed by the body through the cell membranes directly to the actual cells. The toxicity level of benfotiamine is also a lot lower than that of thiamine, meaning minimal or no side effect will be experienced.
Vitamin B12
Nerve Renew contains vitamin B12 as well, delivered via methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin, which is more common but less effective. Methylcobalamin has been proven scientifically to stimulate regeneration of nerves in very high dosages.
R-Alpha lipoic acid
The supplement makes use of R-Alpha lipoic acid in its stabilized form, a very strong antioxidant, to alleviate nerve pain in an efficient way. The stabilized version is up to 12 times better when compared to the non-stabilized version found in most popular nerve repair supplements. The acid is known to improve the efficiency of glucose transportation in cells and reduce the damage that is caused by free radicals, meaning that it can work well to the interest of neuropathy patients who have diabetes.
Herbal extracts
The supplement contains a proprietary mixture that is designed to improve the product's effectiveness. Despite being proprietary, there are a few known extracts contained in it that are well known. The extracts include oak straw, skullcap, feverfew, and passionflower extracts. In overall, they all work together to reduce pain and inflammation, tranquilize the nervous system, improve nerve health, reduce stress and anxiety, and sooth itchy skin.

Anderson said WDFW marksmen would hunt the wolves from the ground and, if those efforts are not successful, might use helicopters to increase the effectiveness of their efforts. WDFW is consulting with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services office, the Stevens County Sheriff's Office and independent wildlife biologists with extensive experience with wolf management in other Western states.
The Wedge Pack is believed to have killed or injured at least 15 cattle from the Diamond M herd, which grazes in a large area near the Canadian border. Attacks have become increasingly frequent since July, continuing even after WDFW staff killed a non-breeding member of the pack in early August. Since then, Anderson said, WDFW wildlife specialists and wolf experts from other states believe the Wedge wolves have become dependent on cattle as their primary food source.
"Once wolves become habituated to livestock as their primary food source, all of the wolf experts we've talked to agree that we have no alternative but to remove the entire pack," Anderson said. "By doing that, we will preserve the opportunity for the recovery of gray wolves in balance with viable livestock operations."
Jack Field, Executive Vice President of the Washington Cattlemen's Association, said, "We understand that as wolves re-populate the state there will be conflicts with livestock. We also understand that we need to work with WDFW to find solutions, including the use of non-lethal measures, in order to minimize losses for producers, but we need everyone else to understand that managing and killing wolves that cause problems is an important part of a healthy co-existence."
Conservation Northwest Executive Director Mitch Friedman said, "As difficult as this situation with the Wedge Pack is to accept on a personal level, we understand and agree that pack removal is the right action at this point. We have been strong advocates for exhausting all non-lethal means possible to avoid this situation and are extremely disappointed that it has come to this."
Friedman expressed a strong desire for the department and ranchers in areas with wolves to work together to avoid a repeat of this situation. "There has to be a commitment on the part of all sides to allow wolves to occupy the landscape while protecting the rancher's livelihood and maintain their ability to raise cattle," he said.
Field said the Cattlemen's Association is encouraging landowners to enter into cooperative management agreements with WDFW that specify non-lethal measures that a livestock operator will use to minimize wolf-livestock conflict.
Anderson said the management agreements would provide cost-share funding for such measures and could include "caught in the act" kill permits to enable livestock operators in Eastern Washington to protect their livestock. The department will continue to offer compensation to ranchers for wolf-caused livestock losses, he said.
"These agreements are necessary to improve cooperation between the department and livestock operators to help address the problems caused by wolves," said Field.

The Redwoods In Yosemite has a number of cozy vacation homes scattered throughout the southwest side of Yosemite National Park's more than 760,000 acres of eastern California wilderness. Most of the properties are set in the peaceful town of Wawona, surrounded by granite cliffs, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife. There's plenty to do nearby, including golfing, horseback riding and picturesque hikes at Chilnualna Falls.
The Redwoods In Yosemite's vacation homes are fully furnished with linens, cookware, dishes, and barbecue grills. Guests can take in the scenery from the private deck of the intimate Hasting's Hideaway (#84). Grill out on the back deck of the Bassett Cedar Rock Cabin (#2), which is built around a big tree trunk amid clusters of trees and large boulders.
Wawona, California: Gateway to Adventure in Yosemite National Park
Just 90 minutes north of Fresno, the unincorporated town of Wawona is situated entirely within Yosemite National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that welcomes millions of visitors every year. The Wawona area—and much of Yosemite Valley—remains accessible to drivers, hikers, and mountain climbers year-round. Thanks to its position near the park's south entrance, Wawona has not been significantly affected by the recent Rim Fire.
For a scenic hike, take the Valley Floor Loop Trail to see the Bridalveil Falls and the Merced River. At the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias, tourists can see massive trees that are nearly 5,000 years old. Crowds are much smaller in the autumn months than during the summer rush, meaning you can explore the park at an unhurried pace and experience it as few visitors can.

It seems that my setup isn't processing an sprintf correctly at line 115 of ContentController.php. It's leaving the backslash in front of the quotation mark in instead of removing it (i.e., emitting \" instead of ").
Any idea what's causing this? BTW, what is _t() (in line 114 of ContentController.php)? I've done a simple sprintf test with an ordinary string on the server inquestion, and it worked fine.

Why is this new SIGG bottle awesome for Valentine's Day? Because no one can live without water. (And lots of us can't live without Twitter.)
It's a child-sized bottle, but I would totally drink from it. Damask, birds, flowers, bright colors, and all the usual things we love about SIGG, including BPA- and phalate-free aluminum lining and near-unbreakability (that's a word, right?).
Perfect for a little girl's lunchbox. Perfect for a Twitter-addict's laptop bag. And perfect for Valentine's Day, especially when filled with Hershey's Kisses.~Delilah
Find the Twittering .4-liter SIGG bottle at the SIGG site or check for a local store to grab one in time for #VDay.

Yep.An LED hooked up to one of the pins I am using will DIMLY turn on and off. Could I be pulling to much current from the Arduino?The only other thing I have hooked up is a 20x4 back lit LCD.Thanks
If this is the case, what keeps the board from switching all the relays on if the arduino is off?
So, when I want the relay to be "on" I use the digitalWrite(pinX, LOW) command?Thanks for the help!

December 2, 2012 in Resistance
COPYRIGHT December 2, 2012
Ronald Boldt
Obama and his goon squad of an administration is proceeding with a novel way to finance trillion-dollar budget deficits by forcing IRA and 401(k) holders to buy Treasury bonds, through the use of mandates with the placement of government-structured annuities in their retirement accounts; regardless of the threat it imposes on their security for the future.
Obama has his eye on the U.S. retirement assets totaled $18.5 trillion; of which 3.5 trillion was in IRAs and $5.1 trillion was in 401(k) plans. This force buying of fiat currency and bonds would wipe out the national debt, allowing Obama to send trillions of dollars to overseas banks and into his own coffers.
For over two years, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Department of Labor have been holding combined hearings on various plans designed to introduce government-mandated retirement plans and investment options, including government annuities invested primarily in U.S. Treasury bonds, forcing the private individual retirement accounts to invest in these fiat currency bills.
Obama was wanting to know why Americans are not saving as much as they should, well you moron could it be that you and your mental midgets in y our administration has ruined the economy to the point that Americans have to spend their savings on food and shelter, and what little they do have left goes into gold or silver.
The average American may take one vacation every other year, with a majority of them staying home, unlike Obama who is now planning on a 17 day vacation, which will cost the American taxpayers.
If Obama wants to lower the deficit then stop going on vacations. Every vacation, just for taking off in Air Force One costs the Americans 1.5 million dollars, cost the Americana's millions of dollars. I say make them pay that money back.
In the past four years the Obamas went on fourteen vacations, and then he wonders why America is in debt? Is he really that much of a moron?
Last year alone it cost we the people over ten million dollars for the Obama's to be the jet set of the White House. When the average American may spend under a thousand dollars they spent hundreds of millions on their so called vacations. Obama has spent more time outside the White House then in.
So to pay for his lavish gluttony Obama has decided to tap into the retirement packages and force them to be liquidated and that money transferred into T-Bills. That is theft and he has no power to do that.
You have to wonder does this simpleton think he can steal from Americans and get away with it?
What is worse is the fact why Congress and the Senate is not stepping up to the plate and forcing Obama to be impeached, or are they all on the take too; well that was a rhetorical question we know they are criminals.

How Important Is A Job Title Change?
Post a comment
Question: Is A Change In Title Important?
Dear Rusty,
I am currently the director of IT for a small ($40M) company that is part of a large ($2B) global corporation. I report to the SVP of Finance and Operations and I have been in the position for about eight years, having started with the company as MIS manager about 11 years ago.
Corporate has decided to merge our company with several others and relocate them together.
I have been asked to move to the new location and be the senior IT person at the new location. I have received a copy of the job description and it reads pretty much like my current set of duties.
However, the title for the new position is IT manager.
Would it be harmful to my career/resume to accept this title? Is there some way to approach this without seeming like an ego-maniac? Thanks,
For more expert career advice and articles on

Answer: Job Title Change Not A Huge Deal
Dear Mike,
Titles are known to be misleading and ambiguous at best especially in the technology field.
Job titles are all about the duties and skills you are responsible for and the progression of responsibility in your new role. As for your resume, your title change can be explained away during an interview. You may have a difficult time asking for a title change especially in a large company where they like to keep position titles uniform for their organization chart.
If you do ask for a title change approach human resources and explain to them first your duties and responsibilities then as for the title change and see how things go. Regards,

A final mystery surrounding the work of film legend Alfred Hitchcock— what triggered the crazed bird flocks that helped inspire his 1963 thriller The Birds— appears solved by scientists.
Dying and disoriented seabirds rammed themselves into homes across California's Monterey Bay in the summer of 1961, sparking a long-standing mystery about the cause among marine biologists. The avian incidents sparked local visitor Hitchcock's interest, along with a story about spooky bird behavior by British writer Daphne du Maurier.
"I am pretty convinced that the birds were poisoned," says ocean environmentalist Sibel Bargu of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. She led a team finding that naturally occurring toxins appear to have been the culprit.
Call it the Case of the Poisoned Plankton. Looking at the stomach contents of turtles and seabirds gathered in 1961 Monterey Bay ship surveys, Bargu and colleagues have now found toxin-making algae were present in 79% of the plankton that the creatures ate. In particular, the team finds in the current Nature Geoscience journal that the leading toxin inside the plankton was a nerve-damaging acid, which causes confusion, seizures and death in birds.

Swiss GDP Remains Flat In Q3
02.12.16 08:25
BRUSSELS (dpa-AFX) - Switzerland's economic growth remained flat in the third quarter as increase in investment was offset by net trade, the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs said Friday.
Gross domestic product registered nil growth in third quarter after expanding 0.6 percent a quarter ago. The economy was forecast to grow 0.3 percent.
On the expenditure side, household spending gained 0.1 percent, while government expenditure dropped 0.1 percent.
Equipment and software investment as well as construction investment climbed 0.5 percent each.
Meanwhile, exports of goods dropped 0.2 percent and that of services slid 0.8 percent. On the other hand, imports of goods rose 0.2 percent and services import remained flat.
Year-on-year, GDP growth eased to 1.3 percent from 2 percent in the second quarter. The annual rate was also weaker than the expected 1.8 percent expansion.

Kernel panic error - unable to mount root
I'm completely unfamiliar with Linux but do need some help.
A Nortel BCM switch is running Linux ver 2.4.22-ngcl-10.12.1.0. After programming the BCM, which included a number of reboots and shutdowns, the system will now not boot.
Power was disconnected from the unit for about 15 hours. While watching the boot process, we see the following on the last two lines of output:
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k nls_iso8859-1, errno = 2
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:05
i have no idea what this means, but am hoping someone can provide input.
Thank you in advance...
I think that means one of the kernel modules died and as a result could not mount the root file system. But I am not an expert.
That error usually indicates a media error. For a router, that could be the memory or flash memory.
I usually bump into that panic message after an installation of a Linux operating system where root partition (/) is formatted to something that the kernel doesn't have built-in support for, and there is no initrd for it. An example is to install Slackware and format root partition to ext3, and try to use a stock kernel without initrd - the kernel doesn't know how to mount ext3 partition, and therefore panics.
So make sure you know what filesystem your root partition has, that your kernel supports that (and if it's not built directly into the kernel, but as a module, you'll need to make initrd too to be able to mount root filesystem before the fs module is loaded that enables the kernel to mount the real root partition) and that your bootloader settings are correct.
Modprobe is a very important central component of your OS. It sounds as though either /sbin is not where the kernel expects it to be -- in / -- or possibly as though modprobe itself has gotten moved, renamed, or deleted.
Tell me: was there any mention of /etc/fstab in your configuration of the switch? If so, I'm betting that it has redefined the partition used for mounting the root filesystem [/]. Of course, since /etc is in the root filesystem, the moment the wrong partition gets mounted as root, /etc/fstab ceases to be available as such.
As to the last line, that too contains some suggestive information. "Unable to mount root filesystem on 03:05" ... what is your device #03:05? If it's a CD-ROM, a floppy drive, or a HDD partition other than the one your boot loader contains as being the root filesystem, then of course the answer is obvious. Even more so if it turns out that it's not a data storage device at all!
I've merged two similar threads.
Judging by what I see nls_iso8859-1 is a boot image. Try running fsck on the boot disk/partition and see if it recovers it, if not re-install the OS.

Heidi Klum and Cameron Diaz Are Fans of Core Fusion
Even if you can't make it to Exhale, the exclusive mind/body spa in New York and LA, you can still feel the effects of its Core Fusion classes. Heidi Klum and Cameron Diaz rave about this Pilates, yoga, and core conditioning regimen, which is now available in a pair of Core Fusion DVDs designed by the founders of this signature workout, Elisabeth Halfpapp and Fred DeVito.
The two videos — Exhale Spa: Core Fusion Body Sculpt ($15) and Exhale Spa: Core Fusion Pilates Plus ($15) — include the top moves you'd do if you took the class, but for much less money. To find out what I thought of them,
Each video contains five 10-minute workout sessions that target and strengthen your abs, back, upper arms, thighs, and glutes. The reason this workout is so successful is because each move involves using your core. You'll need a set of lightweight dumbbells, a belt, a wall, a chair, and a mat in order to do these exercises. After doing some of these exercises, I felt a deep burn I've never felt before. It was amazing to target my muscles so intensely. By the end of each video, I felt both energized and relaxed. If you don't have a lot of time to work out, I'd recommend these Core Fusion DVDs, because you'll sculpt and tone your muscles in less than an hour.

Letter: Round Lake Township opposes OHV trails
A recent letter to the editor pointed out the destructive nature of OHV's on the environment and why promoting motorized trails does not necessarily make good economic sense. I agree with Mr. Mattison who in his letter stated, "In view of studies demonstrating that the adverse impacts of ATV recreational trail development are significant and inevitable, the Becker County Board must use utmost care in its decision whether to provide even more access to Becker County lands." The Round Lake Township citizens discussed this problem at their annual township meeting and passed the following resolution:
1. Round Lake Township opposes any and all proposals that would create a "Grant-inAid" off highway-vehicle (OHV) trail anywhere in this township.
2. Round Lake Township hereby adopts the policy that all trails and roadways within the township are declared closed to all recreation (open to utilitarian uses) OHV use unless the trail or roadway is posted as "open.."
3. Round Lake Township requests that Becker County (and to the extent state lands are involved, the Department of Natural Resources) seek and receive the consent of the individuals and townships that may be affected before designating and/or posting any new trail or existing trail or roadway as "open" for any off-highway-vehicle use. This request applies to all roadways (including township roads, county roads, state highways, forest system roads, minimum maintenance roads, logging roads, snowmobile trails or other roadways that have or may have been utilized by motorized vehicles).
There are over 120 miles of government sanctioned and tax-payer supported ATV trails in the Smoky Hills and Two Inlets State Forests in the county with even more connector trails leading to the Paul Bunyan State Forest. The people at the township meeting stated the county should monitor those trails for a year or two before planning additional trails. This would allow for a track record on the ability to enforce regulations, maintain trails and prevent off-trail damage. They were concerned with the expense of emergency services and road maintenance. They were also concerned about a diminshed environment for hunting, skiing, hiking and other activities that attracted people to the township in the first place.
Round Lake Township is not alone in their concern. Several other townships in NE Becker County passed similar resolutions at their respective annual Township meetings.

Curracloe keep interest in chase for promotion
THE PROMOTION chase is still on for Curracloe United after they delivered three goals and three points into the bargain in an amazing second-half as they steamrolled over Rosslare Rangers in this excellent Division 1 clash played in windy and ice-cold conditions at Rosslare on Sunday last.
While Curracloe United had every reason for celebration, it was despair for the home side whose second-half misses included two fluffed penalties, and this after going a goal up in the first-half. The dropping of all three points puts a huge dent into the Rosslare side's chances of promotion, but it's all so different for their opponents.
The three points have lifted Curracloe United right into a promotion challenge. In the end they were full value for the victory, particularly after a very impressive second-half display following an insipid opening to the game. But even still they will fully realise that the home side gifted them the points with those penalty misses, while they also missed two goals in one-on-one situations with the visitors' 'keeper, Declan Murphy.
There was nothing worthwhile through the opening 30 minutes, with the game becoming bogged down in midfield. Play opened up much more in the 15 minutes leading up to the interval, with the home side taking the lead after 32 minutes when Oscar Pitt stooped low to head home a Mark Donohoe cross at the far post.
With Curracloe making little impression up front despite the assistance of a strong wind, the home side should have increased their lead five minutes later when Oscar Pitt found himself clear on goal following a great ball from Brian Meyler. However, he curled his shot wide when he should have finished, leaving the scoreline 1-0 at the interval.
The first-half may have been unsatisfactory for Curracloe but they showed huge improvement on the resumption. Still, they should have found themselves 2-0 down after 48 minute when defender Darragh Connor was penalised for handball, but from the resulting spot kick Niall Walsh sent his effort high and over the top.
Curracloe United deservedly got back level in the 57th minute when Liam Donnelly forced the ball over the line after 'keeper Stephen Cogley had blocked out his initial effort.
Having lost their lead, the home side found life difficult in front of goal for the remainder of the game, with Oscar Pitt shooting straight at 'keeper Declan Murphy after racing onto a huge clearance from his own number one, Stephen Cogley.
An air of confidence was creeping into the Curracloe play, and substitute Stephen Cash lifted a 30-metre free kick over the wall into the top right-hand corner of the net to give his side a dramatic 2-1 lead.
That's how the score stood approaching additional time. In the 91st minute a Curracloe defender was penalised for a high tackle, but amazingly Emmet Byrne drove the resulting penalty straight at Declan Murphy, who seconds later was yellow carded for time wasting.
Five minutes into additional time, Rosslare's bizarre second-half display continued, as 'keeper Cogley sent his clearance straight to the feet of Liam Donnelly who lifted the ball over him into an unguarded goal, giving his side a dramatic 3-1 win.
