Srinagar, Apr 11 : Pump sets flushing out dirty water, dredging machines shoveling out sewage deposits, workers wading knee-deep in water, all this and more meets the eye these days at Kashmir's scenic Dal Lake.
One of the most picturesque fresh water lakes in the country, the Dal Lake has been a silent victim of neglect and illegal construction for the past 30 years.
Dal Lake, which dominates Srinagar, the summer capital of the state of Jammu and Kashmir has shrunk to nearly half its size from 25 square kilometers (9.7 square miles) to 13 square kilometers (5 square miles), after being flooded by untreated sewage from Srinagar's homes and houseboats.
Thousands of tonnes of silt from the hills stripped of trees, flow into its waters every year.
Plastic bags thrown by tourists and weed and algae add onto its woes.
Senior citizens of the valley reminisce the golden days when the lake was sparkling clean, quite unlike its present state.
"This lake used to be sparklingly clean at one time. It was so clean that we used the water for drinking purposes. Now, it has become polluted. We appreciate the steps taken by the authorities to clean up the lake. During the summers, it becomes difficult for us to sit outside our houses because of the mosquito menace and the stench is unbearable. But with the government's efforts, we hope to see it restored to its original glory," said Younis Wani, a resident.
The State's Lakes and Waterways Development Authority (LAWDA), has launched a massive dredging operation to restore the blocked waterways, which would lend a fresh lease of life to the dying lake, marred by pollution.
With an estimated budget of rupees 24.5 million, authorities are hopeful of opening the clogged sewage lines around the lake by 2009.
"By March 2009 I hope that total sewage system around the lake should be a reality," said Mir Naseem, Vice Chairperson, LAWDA.
The authorities might be upbeat about their initiative, the residents are skeptical.
"We are happy with their initiative but they should continue with the cleaning process and not leave it in between. They should take care of the polythenes that add on majorly to the pollution in the lake," said Ali Mohammed, a resident. By Suhail Ahmad

What are Trace Minerals?
Trace minerals serve as catalysts to vitamins within the cells of the human body according to the current research. They are essential to our daily health, according to the Federal Government's Recommended Daily Value requirements. Unfortunately, this condition often goes unmet. Most proper diets severely lack some trace minerals needed to maintain a high-functioning healthy body.
The following are just a few of the trace minerals that should be included in your daily diet and can be obtained through organic food, water and all natural mineral supplements, such as coral mineral products.
Boron is a trace mineral that provides metabolic benefits in the human body. Though its exact role in the body is relatively unknown, recent experimental studies have shown that boron may be essential for energy utilization and the creation and preservation of bone.
Iodine is an essential trace mineral, though it is often misunderstood. A deficiency of iodine results in goiters, lower vitality, lower metabolism, and the inability to adequately think logically. Iodine is also significant to the formation of thyroid hormone.
Manganese is a natural muscle builder, and it is also known to strengthen bones and ligaments. It is usually found in the bone, liver, kidneys, heart, pituitary gland, pancreas, spleen, and intestines.
Molybdenum is an essential trace mineral that is found concentrated in the liver, adrenal glands, kidneys, bones, and skin. Most people obtain molybdenum from milk and other dairy products, dried legumes, organ meats and whole grains.
Selenium is a trace mineral that helps to prevent oxygen damage to the cell membrane. Cell membranes are critical for the proper absorption of nutrients and the elimination of toxic wastes. It's also known to be a powerful antioxidant.
Silicon is a trace mineral that is found in the hair and skin. It is important in the formation of the collagen found in bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues. It is also necessary for the formation of other connective tissues like elastin, which help maintain the integrity of the elastic quality of blood vessels – an important feature of blood pressure control – and the other fabrics.
Lithium is a trace mineral that interacts only with sodium. It can be obtained from drinking water and is essential to balancing the part of the brain that dictates behavioral and emotional behaviors.
***All of the critical trace minerals above can be found within above-sea coral, which is the blueprint of Coral LLC supplements.
Contact us today!
If you want help getting the recommended daily amounts of all these trace minerals to reach optimum health, order coral mineral supplements today!

The U.S. Capitol and Capitol Visitor Center were on lockdown Friday morning due to a report that there might be an individual with a gun who had made it past Capitol security.
The lockdown came in the wake of high tensions Friday morning as the nation awoke to the news that five Dallas police officers had been killed Thursday in an ambush that left seven other officers wounded.
"Out of abundance of caution, the U.S. Capitol and Capitol Visitor Center are on lockdown while USCP investigates a report of a person of interest. Building occupants are advised to shelter in place and await further USCP instructions," Capitol Police spokeswoman Eva Malecki said in an email announcing the lockdown at about 9 a.m.

Media sources reported that security personnel inside the Capitol had been concerned that a person had entered with an object that could have been a firearm. The Hill quoted Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Fla., as saying a congressional staff person had been seen in the building with a firearm. It quoted a second source as saying the alleged firearm had been seen within the security checkpoint that is supposed to screen out any weapons from entering the Capitol complex.
The lockdown, which was lifted at about 9:45 a.m., forced the House to go into recess and postpone votes that were scheduled to take place at 9:15 a.m.

Scott Jagow: If you have kids in college, or you've been there yourself recently, you know this all too well: The cost of tuition is far outpacing inflation.
Some in Congress have called for schools to take money out of their endowments to help more families afford college. And certain private universities are going along with this. They're giving grants instead of loans. Ashley Milne-Tyte has more.
Ashley Milne-Tyte: Only a few private colleges are giving students grants instead of making them take out loans. Their endowments are big enough that they can afford it.
Ronald Ehrenberg directs the Cornell Higher Education Research Institute. He says some wealthy schools may follow suit. Others will probably do what universities like Emory and Wesleyan have done. They offer grants to students from families under a certain income level.
But Ehrenberg says that tactic raises some tough questions:
Ronald Ehrenberg: I sort of worry, how do we guarantee that all students can come? And if we load too much money down for the really disadvantaged students, what will happen to the middle class at the less-wealthy institutions?
Who'll be stuck with the usual pile of student debt.
Ehrenberg says a more pressing problem is how to improve funding of endowment-poor public schools, where 80 percent of students go.

Procedure of Excise Audit 2000 :
(i) Selection criteria of the assessees for the audit: Circular No. 995/2/2015 CX dated 27.02.2015, which has come into effect from 1st July, 2015 has specified new norms to be followed by Audit Commissionerates. The new norms do not prescribe any frequency for conducting audits. The new norms have introduced risk based selection of assessees for audit based on identified/quantified risk parameters and also introduced jurisdictional specific criteria (as opposed to uniform norm across the country) for segmenting the taxpayer into large, medium & small categories.
The criteria for categorizing an assessee as large, medium or small would be value of clearances and total excise duty paid. The threshold limits of value of clearances for categorizing the units into large, medium and small would be dependent upon (i) the available manpower in the Audit Commissionerate and (ii) the assessee base, turnover and excise duty paid by each assessee in the jurisdiction of the Audit Commissionerate. It may be noted that threshold limits may vary from one Audit Commissionerate to another Audit Commissionerate in view of varying number of assessees and quantum of value of clearances and excise duty paid in case of each assessee.
The selection of assessees would be done based on the risk evaluation method prescribed by the Directorate General of Audit. The risk evaluation method would be separately communicated to the Audit Comissionerates during the month of March / April every year. The risk assessment function will be jointly handled by National Risk Managers (NRM) situated in the Directorate General of Audit and Local Risk Managers (LRM) heading the Risk Management section of Audit Commissionerates. The Audit Commissionerates could also select few units at random or based on risk perception in each category of large, medium and small tax payers.
(ii) Desk Review: The auditors are assigned the assessees to be audited at the beginning of the financial year. The auditors are required to gather as much information about the assessee as possible. They can gather information from the departmental records, published documents like balance sheets annual statements etc., and through market enquirer. Since this can be done without interacting with the assessee, this step called as 'desk-review'.
(iii) Documenting Information: At the stage of "Desk Review" the auditors may have already identified certain areas, which warrant closer examination. The auditor may also require certain documents or information from the assessee to complete his preliminary investigation. For this he may write letter to the assessee or send him a questionnaire to obtain this information. This step is called 'gathering and documenting assessee information'.
(iv) Touring: The auditor then visits the unit of the assessee to see the actual running of the unit, the systems that are followed for maintaining records in various sections and the system of movement of goods and the related documents within the unit. This step is called 'touring of the premises'. This gives the auditors a general overview about the procedure adopted by the assessee and the possible loopholes through which revenue leakage can take place.
(v) Audit Plan: Based on his experiences and the information gathered so far about the assessee, the auditor now makes a 'audit plan'. The idea of developing audit plan is to list the areas which, as per the auditor are the vulnerable areas from the revenue point of view. Since number of documents/records maintained by assessee is huge in number, it also necessary that the auditor should select only some of them for the actual verification. The preparation of audit plan helps him to do that. It must be remembered that audit plan is not rigid but a dynamic concept. During the course of audit if the auditor notices certain new facts or new aspects of the planned area of audit, he can always alter the audit plan accordingly, with the approval of his supervisor. Similarly, during the actual audit, if the auditor is convinced that any area which was earlier planned for verification does not require in-depth scrutiny, he may alter the plan midway after obtaining approval of the superior officers. Preparation of audit plan is one of the most important steps of EA 2000. A well thought audit plan generally increases the success of audit result manifolds.
(vi) Verification: The most important step of audit is the conduct of actual audit, which in technical parlance is called 'Verification'. The auditors visit the unit of the assessee on a scheduled date (informed to the assessee in advance) and carry out the scrutiny of the records of the assessee as per the audit plan. The auditor is required to compare the documentation of a fact from different documents. For example, the auditor may check the figures of clearance of finished goods showed by the assessee in central excise return with the sales figures of the said goods in Balance Sheet, Sales Tax Returns, Bank statements etc. The auditor may also enquire about the entries which appear vague (say an entry like 'Misc. Income') in various records and documents. The idea behind conduct of verification is to reasonably ensure that no amount, which as per the Central Excise law is chargeable to duty, escapes taxation. The process of verification is always carried out in presence of the assessee so that he can clarify the doubts and provide required information to the auditor.
(vii) Audit Objection and Audit Para: Where the auditor finds instances of short payment of duty or non-observance of Central excise procedures, he is required to discuss the issue with the assessee. After explanation provided by the assessee, if the auditor is satisfied that such non-tax compliance has occurred, he records the same as an 'Audit Objection' or 'Audit Para' of the 'draft audit report' that he would be preparing at the end of the verification process. Auditor is advised not to take formal objections to mere procedural lapses/ infractions/ adoption of wrong procedures, which do not result in any short payment of duty or do not have bearing upon the duty payment. In such cases the auditor is required to discuss the matter with the assessee and advise him to follow the correct procedure in future. Further, while making an audit para, attempt should be made to tabulate the duty short paid by the assessee at the spot and incorporate it in the para itself. However, if this is not possible for the paucity of time or for the want of some information not available at that time, the auditor should make a note of the same in his report.
(viii) Audit Report: At the end of the process of verification the auditor prepares an 'Draft Audit Report' which incorporates all the audit objections/audit paras. An audit report provides (issue or para wise) the issue in brief, the reply or the explanation of the assessee, the reason for the auditor not being satisfied with the reply, the amount of short payment (if tabulated) and the recoveries of the same (if could be made at the spot). The draft audit report is then submitted to the superior officers for review, who examine the sustainability of the objections raised by the auditors. After such review, the audit report becomes final and in cases where the disputed amounts have not already been paid by the assessee at the spot, demand notices are issued by the department for their recoveries.
(ix) Conclusion: EA 2000 is a modern, transparent and interactive method of audit wherein the auditor proceeds with audit fully conversant with the business of the assessee. On his part, the assessee is given full opportunity to explain his stand on any particular matter so that matters are resolved in full appreciation of legal position. EA 2000 is thus a participative audit.
A requirement of EA 2000 is that the auditors must be thorough in their knowledge of Centr al Excise law and procedures, notifications, instructions and circulars issued by the Finance Ministry and the judicial decisions on issues relating to central excise laws. To be successful auditor, knowledge about financial bookkeeping, accountancy and proficiency in understanding commonly used commercial books and documents is of great help. Further, being computer literate is an added requirement while auditing an assessee who maintains his accounts in electronic format.

Chuckles Schumer, Constitutional geeenius
I'd say that the state of the union is quite uncertain, when a leader of one of our major political parties doesn't even know what the three branches of government are.
you know, we have three branches of government: we have a House, the Senate, we have a President, and all three of us are going to have to come together and give some.
According to the Constitution, the three branches of government are the executive, the legislative and the judicial. There was a time when every gradeschool kid in America knew this. Schumer splits one into two and omits the third entirely. But hey, it's all good. Chuckles and his ilk are the smart ones and Sarah Palin is still Caribou Barbie the Alaskan hayseed.

This post was written by Dmitri Voltova
If last night's rebuttle to Trump's masterful speech was any indicator, the Democrats are bankrupt in many ways.
Rush Limbaugh even explained so on his show this afternoon, and hilariously parodied the joker Beshear.
The Democratic speech in response to Trump's Joint Congressional meeting stuck many as a blast from the past, specifically "Pepperidge Farms remembers"
The speech was headlined by Steve Beshear, former Democrat Governor of Kentucky.
But some are saying that it was not only just "Old Fashioned," but it seemed like a commercial from the 1980's, specifically Pepperidge Farms.
It's telling that the Democrats are the old fashioned party. Instead of having quality leaders, they're relying on names from the past like Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, and now this man Beshear.
Some even say he looked like the "Heavans Gate" founder. Wow
Who do the Democrats have that are new?
Do you know?

Are you looking for a get-away destination on Memorial Day weekend? Do you love the pastoral countryside with rolling hills, meandering rustic roads, little out-of-the-way villages to explore? How about a picnic lunch on the banks of a trout stream where it's shallow enough in some areas to see the fish swimming past?
Interested in visiting a 148 year old grist mill to see how it worked "back in the day?" Do you like fine art and fine crafts in all their various forms?
If your answer to these questions is "yes," then be sure to find the village of Nelsonville on your map and plan your route. It's located on Co. Highway "Q" two miles north of Amherst Junction, halfway between Stevens Point and Waupaca in Portage County. The village is home of the historic 1868 Rising Star Mill on the Tomorrow River.
Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 of the Memorial Day weekend, the Mill will once again be filled with central Wisconsin artisans showing their latest work in clay, paint, wood, fine metals, garden sculpture, fiber and photography.
It's the RISING STAR MILL ANNUAL ART SHOW AND SALE, a two-day event sponsored by the "Mill Committee," to raise money for the continued restoration and up-keep of the historic building. The show committee, comprised of professional and hobby artists, hand-selects artists from the central Wisconsin area to ensure quality work and a venue for the artists living and working in the area.
Many of the artists are long time participants and have supported the Mill in a variety of ways.
Marge Krogwold, master weaver, will once again be making rag rugs on the old c. 1850 hand-built wooden loom; the rugs are available to purchase via a donation to the Mill and are eagerly sought by folks as a lasting memento of fond memories of the area.
Bud Eagon, now in his 90s, will again have his lathe to spin tops for children, young and old and demonstrate wood turning.
Other artists will be working on or demonstrating their crafts in their booths, and always enjoy talking with visitors and answering questions.
New to the show this year is Karin Sieg, a colored-pencil artist from Stevens Point. Her work is soft and gentle and filled with exquisite detail.
Sharon Rotz of Mosinee is a fiber artist, a highly talented art-quilt maker, and designer of rag dolls, each given their own special name.
And Roxine Karbowski of Nekoosa twists & turns sterling wire into beautiful horse images, often including a semi-precious stone to capture light and accent the piece.
At time of press, the committee is awaiting confirmation on a few more new artists that will find this show as fun and rewarding as so many of the "old timers."
The Rising Star Mill is owned by the Portage County Historical Society and the svolunteer "Mill Committee" works from February into October to protect, restore, and keep up the property. Fund-raising concerts, a Movie Night, and an Open House corresponding to the Hidden Studios Art Tour Along the Ice Age Tail in October are scheduled throughout this season. The Mill is also the scene of really fabulous weddings & receptions, birthday parties, and group meetings.
This year, Art Stevenson & High Water will be in concert on Friday, June 17 at 7 PM. They always bring in a huge crowd of blue-grass enthusiasts.
Returning from Duluth, Minnesota are Bill and Kate Isles who will appear on Friday, July 22 at 7 PM.
Friday, August 5 at 7:30 PM, is the free movie night, and "Our Vines Have Tender Grapes," will be the featured film starring Edward G. Robinson and Margaret O'Brian. It's a story of Norwegian immigrants who settled just a short distance east of Nelsonville.
On Saturday, August 20 at 7 PM, the David Story Trio will present a jazz night at the Mill. The last concert of the season will be Saturday, September 10 at 7 PM with the ever popular Dekorra playing their wide variety of musical numbers.
And finally, the annual Open House at the Mill will run September 30 through October 2. The popular "Barns of Portage County," exhibit will be spread throughout the Mill. And as always, the Mill's FEED SACK refreshment room will be open for beverages and snacks at all events.
The Rising Star Mill is a cherished building in Central Wisconsin, one of the last standing grist mills of its kind. Please join the crowd to open the season and come to the RISING STAR MILL ANNUAL ART SHOW AND SALE, May 28 from 10 AM to 5 PM and May 29 from 10 AM to 4 PM. Admission is free. There's something there for everyone, young and old, to enjoy.

Unanswered: .update creates new record but all fields null
Hi guys, I have made several Access-based CMSs but now I am using SQL Server. I can read the records but my first attempts at writing are resulting in new records (with new ID) but all the fields are null.
I am posting the data from a form to the same page and an if /then statement catches the flag in the URL and runs the update script below. All the field names are correct.
if request.QueryString("add")<> "" then
Dim rsUpdateEntry
Set rsUpdateEntry = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsUpdateEntry.Open "SELECT * from generic_country_info" , oConn, 2, 3
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title1") = Request.Form("title1")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body1") = Request.Form("body1")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title2") = Request.Form("title2")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body2") = Request.Form("body2")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title3") = Request.Form("title3")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body3") = Request.Form("body3")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title4") = Request.Form("title4")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body4") = Request.Form("body4")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("title5") = Request.Form("title5")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("body5") = Request.Form("body5")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image1") = Request.Form("attach1")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image2") = Request.Form("attach2")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image3") = Request.Form("attach3")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image4") = Request.Form("attach4")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("image5") = Request.Form("attach5")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("country") = Request.Form("country")
rsUpdateEntry.Fields("dest_url") = Request.Form("dest_url")
Set rsUpdateEntry = Nothing
end if

my first comment would be... is that actually the code you use ?
if you are inserting a new record into the database, there is no reason to do a full SELECT first into a recordset.
all your doing is sucking down extra cycles for the system
you should find that if you convert your code to this it should be substantially faster
if request.QueryString("add")<> "" then
set TheDatabase = server.createobject("ADODB.Connection")
' This is a DSN Connection. it does not require Driver name or server name specified. only the "provider" and the "DSN name"
' the DSN is something you set up when defining the databse in your control panel.
' (these 5 lines actually all go on one line)
TheDatabase.Open "PROVIDER=MSDASQL;
UID=the_UserID_You_Created ;
title1 = Request.Form("title1")
body1 = Request.Form("body1")
title2 = Request.Form("title2")
body2 = Request.Form("body2")
title3 = Request.Form("title3")
body3 = Request.Form("body3")
title4 = Request.Form("title4")
body4 = Request.Form("body4")
title5 = Request.Form("title5")
body5 = Request.Form("body5")
image1 = Request.Form("attach1")
image2 = Request.Form("attach2")
image3 = Request.Form("attach3")
image4 = Request.Form("attach4")
image5 = Request.Form("attach5")
country = Request.Form("country")
dest_url = Request.Form("dest_url")
SQL="INSERT INTO generic_country_info (title1 , body1, title2 , body2, title3 , body3, title4 , body4, title5 , body5, image1, image2 , image3 , image4 , image5 , country, dest_url) Values (" & title1 & "', '" & body1 & "', '" & title2 & "', '" & body2 & "', '" & title3 & "', '" & body3 & "', '" & title4 & "', '" & body4 & "', '" & title5 & "', '" & body5 & "', '" & image1 & "', '" & image2 & "', '" & image3 & "', '" & image4 & "', '" & image5 & "', '" & country & "', '" & desturl & "')"
set TheDatabase = nothing

my next comment would be,
i would be careful about passing around paramaters on the URL like that...
especially one that triggers an update to a database.
set up a hidden text filed in your form someplace instead and update its contents with your flags (Add, Update, Delete, set Inactive, etc....)
then same thing, before you do the IF, test teh field for its contents.
strCommand = Request.Form("hiddenCommand")
if strCommand = "AddMeSomeData" then
...... ..... ...
...... ..... ...
...... ..... ...
...... ..... ...
end if.

thank you that is really helpful. the "Select *" was a legacy from an attempt to pre-populate the form.
I am going to finalise my test this morning, and have a go with your code, but one of the problems apeared to be the form sending "multipart/form-data" - when I removed that, I started seeing results.
I'll get back with a full report later.

Hey hey! that all works great - fast and clean. Thanks again.
The enctype="multipart/form-data" was definately stoping it working. and my code was definately a mess!
Just out of curiosity, could you give me a v.quick answer to these questions?
is an SQL INSERT quicker/better than AddNew?
is DNS connection quicker/better than DNSless?
-(As I researched my problem yesterday I got conflicting reports)

Are you learning SQL ?
or... rather... i am assuming you know at least a liltle.. are you trying to learn more ?
you know about the SQL UPDATE and DELETE ?
i can give you a few references for good SQL tutorials and other stuff if you need it.
also.. look into stored procedures. they ROCK!
basically.. you store the entire SQL statment(s) in the MS-SQL database... pass it some paramaters and then it runs it.
much faster.
the multipart/form... that is typically used if you are uploading a file.
the INSERT is faster. in general.. working with recordsets is somewat slow. so if you dont need to retrieve a pile of data first, there is no reason too..
that SELECT * that you had in that first post.. since it does not have a WHERE clause on it, you are loading the entire contents of a table into the recordset.
I.E. you have 17 fields... and if you have 1,000 records... you are loading all 17 fields for ALL 1,000 records... 17,000 pieces of information.
if you want to pre-populate the form, tell it what record you want to select with a WHERE clause.
SELECT title1, body1, title2, body2 from generic_country_info WHERE recordID = 12
Set rsPages = TheDatabase.Execute(SQL)
if not rsPages.eof then
' says yes, there is data. "if the recordset is not at the end of file"
strTitle1 = rsPages("title1")
strBody1 = rsPages("body1")
strTitle2 = rsPages("title2")
strBody2 = rsPages("body2")
' else, there is no data. the ID 12 may not exist
strErrorMessage = "Page ID not found"
end if
also, from what i think i know (hehehe) the "add new" then "update" is actually a 2 step process. first you are updating the recordest in local memory....(depending on how you have it defined) then you are telling it to "update" and that tries to update the database.
the reason i say "think i know" is because the last time i did it that way was about 10 years ago when i was usnig /learning VB4 and an access database.
ultimately a stored procedure will blow the doors off of an "AddNew" or even a regular INSERT. of course, when your only dealing with a single user at a time, your not really going to notice it. but when you get to where you have hundreds of users at a time banging away at a database... yea... noticeable.
the DSN /DSN Less is sort of up in the air. i have found arguements on both side... again, it may be only really noticeable when you have hundreds or more users on the system.
One advantage is that using a DSN connection, you can more easily change databases around if you need to. point it to another database, things like that.
i had one website on a server... the DSNLess connection does not work properly... it takes 30 seconds to make a connection. aparently they have the driver name incorrect in the connection string or something....
changed it to a DSN connection.. and it opend the same page in less than 1/2 a second.
also, if you need... i can give you other hints on making your code a little more effecient.. let me know if you need it.
glad it all worked !.

Wow! thanks, sorry I didn't get back, once it started working I got my head down and worked to make up for lost time.
The multipart form data is back in now and I am sending the text as part of the ASP upload object. - 'upload.form("text")'
Will def look into stored procedures.

Four ways the University of Georgia makes an impact.
Edelman Digital Bootcamp
With 70 percent of adults and 93 percent of teenagers using the Internet, it is not surprising that social media usage is steadily increasing.
Buckle up for safety
Safe Kids Buckle Up Virtual Video Showdown, an online safety video competition, created by the public relations students of UGA's Public Relations Student Society of America Bateman team, accumulated more than 2,000 hits in five days.
UGA to offer wide array of summer camps
From playing with earthworms to playing the tuba, summer camps at the University of Georgia have something for everyone from toddlers to teens.
RSVP: Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention
Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted. Approximately 80 percent of rape victims are under the age of 30
Students go green
Thousands of students pass the Lumpkin Street Rain Gardens every day, yet few understand the extent of their effects on the environment.
Raising the bar
Seven UGA law students drove to Gainesville in December to meet with NFC, an environmental activist group.
Treading New Water
Camus, associate professor of pathology in UGA's College of Veterinary Medicine, goes virtually unnoticed to the average Georgia Aquarium visitor, but that's the nature of his job.
Writers of the storm
This is New Orleans, ravaged more than two years ago by Hurricane Katrina. Broken levees, flooding and poor evacuation plans left 1,300 residents dead and thousands more homeless, many now scattered across the country.
UGA program boosts environmental, community volunteers
When Mary Evans heard about an adult wildlife education program called Georgia Master Naturalist, she knew it was right up her alley.

The NFL announced Tuesday night that the regular season schedule will be revealed at 7 p.m. CT on April 20, and the release show will air on NFL Network. At the same time, the Seattle Seahawks will be unveiling their schedule on the team's website and via their social media channels. Last week, Detroit Lions team president Rod Wood spilled the beans last week, and this serves as confirmation.
The preseason opponents and schedules have already been set for the Seahawks, but the exact dates have yet to be determined.
Ahead of the release of the National Football League schedule, which will happen Thursday, we now know the date for probably the most notable game of the 2017 season.
One waiting game is about to end, and with it, Vikings fans will be provided with details on all 16 regular-season games.
Home: Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots (in Mexico City), New York Jets, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Baltimore Ravens.
The schedule will be announced at 5 p.m. PT on the NFL Network.

Fluticasone Propionate Information:
What is fluticasone propionate?
Fluticasone propionate is a corticosteroid used to treat allergies and asthma. Fluticasone propionate nasal spray treats allergies by stopping inflammation and blocking histamines that cause allergic reactions. The fluticasone propionate inhaler is used to prevent asthma attacks and works by reducing inflammation in bronchial passages. Fluticasone propionate may also come as a cream or ointment used to treat various skin conditions due it its anti-inflammatory properties. It also relieves dryness, itching and redness.
How do I take fluticasone propionate?
If using the fluticasone propionate nasal spray, the bottle should be shaken before each use. If using the bottle for the first time, point the nozzle away from you and press the pump six times. Then, hold one nostril closed with your finger, insert the nozzle into the other nostril, and spray one dose into your nostril while inhaling. Exhale through your mouth. Repeat if more than one dose was prescribed by your doctor. If you haven't used the spray in a week or longer, the solution may have settled to the bottom. Shake the bottle and point the nozzle away from you. Press the pump until a full spray comes out of the bottle. Then use as normal. Wipe the applicator and replace the cap after each use.
To use fluticasone propionate cream or ointment, clean and dry the affected area. Then apply a thin layer of the cream or ointment and rub it in until it disappears. Wash hands after applying the medication. Apply the medication at regular intervals as prescribed by your doctor.
To use the fluticasone propionate inhaler prime the inhaler according to the directions. For best results, the canister should be at room temperature before use. Make sure that the canister is properly placed in the inhaler unit. Shake well before using. Breathe out slowly and completely. Then place the mouthpiece between your lips and try to rest your tongue flat. As you start to take a slow deep breath, press the canister and mouthpiece together at exactly the same time. Continue breathing in slowly and deeply and hold for as long as comfortable, then breathe out slowly through pursed lips or your nose. If more than one spray is prescribed, wait a few minutes and repeat. After inhaling, rinse your mouth with water without swallowing.
Before taking fluticasone propionate, tell your doctor if:
- You are allergic to fluticasone, corticosteroids or any other drugs.
- You are taking prescription and nonprescription drugs, especially skin products containing hydrocortisone and vitamins.
- You have infections of the respiratory tract, untreated fungal or bacterial infections, parasitic or viral infections, measles, chickenpox, herpes simplex in or around the eye, or recently received a vaccination.
- You have glaucoma or cataracts.
- You have any other illnesses, active infections, or allergies.
- You are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding.
- You have large areas of burned or damaged skin. (Applies if using fluticasone propionate ointment or cream.)
- You have poor circulation.
- You have thinning or wasting skin.
What are the possible side effects of taking fluticasone propionate?
Side effects from taking fluticasone propionate include dry mouth or nasal passages, nose bleed, bloody mucus, burning or irritation, headache, nausea, stomach pain, hoarseness, sore throat, allergic reaction, and painful white patches in the mouth, nose or throat. These are not all the possible side effects from taking fluticasone propionate. If side effects are serious, call your doctor immediately.
What if I forget to take a dose of fluticasone propionate?
If you miss a dose of fluticasone propionate, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on your regular schedule. Do not use a double dose to make up for a missed one.
How do I store fluticasone propionate?
Store fluticasone propionate cream, ointment and nasal spray in their original containers in a cool, dry place around room temperature. Throw away any expired medication.
Store the inhaled medication between 36 and 86 degrees F (2 and 30 degrees C). Protect from freezing. Store the canister with mouthpiece down, and keep away from heat and direct sunlight. Do not puncture, break, or burn the canister even if it appears to be empty. Contents are under pressure. Keep this medicine out of the reach of children and away from pets.
What happens if I overdose on fluticasone propionate?
Using fluticasone propionate excessively or for an extended period of time can result in the following symptoms: enlarged face and neck, new or worsening acne, bruising easily, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, irregular menstrual periods, loss of appetite, weight loss, irritability, depression, fainting or dizziness, and darkening skin. If overdose is suspected, contact the Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.

A couple weeks ago I talked about the Enemy of Minimalism: Sentimental Feelings.
What about other people's sentimental feelings?
I think this has been just as hard as dealing with my own attachment to items.
I have gotten rid of a few things that some family members might have a really hard time with. They might think that the original owners of the item would roll over in their graves!
Truly, I know that all our family members that have passed on don't even think about their material possessions anymore and I would bet that now that they are in their eternal home, they would wish that we wouldn't care about material possessions either.
I have acquired many possessions that were very special to their original owners.
But, that is their life.
Do we need to continue holding onto our relative's dreams, hopes or even guilt?
Do you have things in your house that someone would be mad at you if they found you got rid of the item?
You aren't getting rid of the person. You are getting rid of a thing.
You are in charge of the atmosphere in your own home!
Do not let other people determine what you have.
There are times to be vocal about it, and times to just accept it graciously, allow some time to pass and graciously let the item go.
When it's ok to be vocal about it and someone is trying to give me something that belonged to… or was bought in… or came from… I gently tell them that I will not be able to take it. If it is something I can use (like a book) I do say that I will read it and then pass it on to someone else.
They've opted not to give us things.
That's okay.
This is our home, our lives, our atmosphere, our responsibility.
Take charge! Take your life back!

The-Amped Wireless High Power 12dBi Omni-directional Wi-Fi Antenna is designed to increase the signal strength and range of your 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi devices with detachable antennas. The high gain antenna provides Wi-Fi devices, such as routers, access points, adapters, cameras and bridges, with more powerful, 360˚ wireless coverage. The WA12 increases the signal strength and overall range of the device it is attached to.
- Increased Wi-Fi range and throughput: the high power Wi-Fi antenna expands your wireless coverage in all directions by increasing the antenna gain on your Wi-Fi device; since Wi-Fi speeds degrade as distances increase, the WA12 increases wireless throughput

- Plug and play setup: simply detach your original Wi-Fi antenna from your Wi-Fi device and attach the high power antenna
- Multiple mounting options: The high power antenna can be placed on a desktop, mounted on a wall or mounted magnetically onto a metal surface; in addition, the high power antenna can be detached from its base and mounted directly onto your Wi-Fi device
- Universal compatibility: the high power antenna works great with all 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g or n Wi-Fi devices with detachable antennas from all manufacturers

20,000 CAO applicants won't get any offer as demand soars
A record 20,000 applicants will not get a single offer from the CAO this year.
Sky-high levels of applications and acceptances have cut the number of offers available on the second round, which is published later today.
No offers are being made on the majority of courses -- and where there they are made, only a handful of places are available.
The second round will bring disappointment to those hoping to get into college to ride out the economic storm and acquire qualifications to better their job prospects. The number of applicants getting offers for the first time today is only 1,434, compared with 2,095 last year and 3,000 the year before. Of those getting offers for the first time, some 860 are being offered places on honours programmes.
This year saw a surge of applications to college, reaching the 77,628 mark compared with 74,621 last year. The applications total saw a big increase in mature applicants.
Many colleges have created additional places to cater for the rising demand.
To date 43,385 people have accepted offers, which is up more than 1,000 at the end of round one last year. Every year sees thousands of applicants who do not get any offer, either because they do not get pass in maths -- which is are a requirement for so many courses in the institute of technology sector -- or because they do not get sufficient points for the courses they have listed.
This year, however, the number failing to get an offer has tipped the 20,000 mark for the first time.
But it's not all bad news as today's second round sees welcome drops in points required for some courses. For instance, there is some welcome news for nursing applicants. In UCD and Trinity there were point drops of five or 10 points in psychiatric, children and general nursing, and midwifery.
NUI Galway's general nursing course dropped five points to 445 on random selection. Meanwhile, other healthcare courses such as occupational therapy dropped five points to 500; while speech and language therapy went down 10 to 500 on random selection.
Law courses show some point drops of five or 10 in some UCD courses, with the points for BCL Maitrise dropping from 530 to 500. Trinity's law and business dropped from 555 on random to 550, while law and French dropped from 570 to 555 on random selection.
But there were no point drops in medicine, with the exception of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland where it dropped two points to 721.
Despite the overall reduction in offers, there are still vacancies on 146 courses where there are not enough applicants.
Most of the vacancies are in engineering and business courses. And while many are in the private colleges sector, a number are also in the public colleges, particularly the institutes of technology.

My first book review of 2017 is the fabulous My Name is Leon* by Kit de Waal, which was very deservedly shortlisted for the Costa First Book Award 2016.
Disclaimer: I received a copy of My Name is Leon for review, but the opinions below are my own and unbiased.
Leon is a 9 year old mixed race boy, living with his mother and brand new half-brother Jake. His mum has mental health issues, so Leon looks after both her and Jake as best he can. But it all gets too much for him, and social services take the boys into care. Their new foster-mum Maureen gives the boys some much-needed love and stability in their lives.
Baby Jake is white, and adoptive parents are quickly found for him. But it's not so easy to find new parents for Leon, so the boys are split up. Leon is left to deal with all the confusing emotions of a 9 year old boy who has lost his family. Life is difficult, but he learns that family doesn't just mean the people who you are related to.
I absolutely loved this book. It's written in Leon's voice, so you really get to experience things from his point of view. You see how the adults have Real faces and Pretend faces, and hear how they talk about him when they think Leon isn't listening. You feel the intense love he has for his baby brother, and his pain when Jake's new parents take him away.
My Name is Leon illustrates some of the difficulties of life in care in the early 1980s, especially for a mixed-race child at an awkward age. The plotline is both heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measures. Kit de Waal worked for fifteen years in criminal and family law, and has sat on adoption panels, which gives her novel an authentic touch. And I certainly recognised some of the facets of 80's life that she weaves into the story.
I instantly warmed to Leon, I think you'd have to have a heart of stone not to love this character. My heart ached for him as one family member after another disappeared from his life, I really hoped that he'd get a happy ending. And when I finished the book, I didn't want to leave Leon, I wanted to find out more about what happened to him. For me, that's a sign of a great character.
I also loved the other characters that Kit de Waal has created. Leon's foster mum Maureen is an absolute angel, and also adds a comedic element that lightens the story. And the men at the allotments who befriend Leon are much needed male role models, even if they aren't always quite what they seem!
My Name is Leon is set against the background of the race riots in the early 80s, which adds an extra layer of tension to the story. Leon has to cope with so many difficulties at his young age. It still shocks me that these kind of attitudes were so prevalent within my own lifetime.
This is Kit de Waal's debut novel, and made the shortlist of the Costa First Novel Award 2016. I hope that Kit is already working on her second novel, I can't wait to see what she writes next!
The blurb:
Leon is nine, and has a perfect baby brother called Jake. They have gone to live with Maureen, who has fuzzy red hair like a halo, and a belly like Father Christmas. But the adults are speaking in low voices, and wearing Pretend faces. They are threatening to give Jake to strangers. Since Jake is white and Leon is not.
As Leon struggles to cope with his anger, certain things can still make him smile – like Curly Wurlys, riding his bike fast downhill, burying his hands deep in the soil, hanging out with Tufty (who reminds him of his dad), and stealing enough coins so that one day he can rescue Jake and his mum.
Evoking a Britain of the early eighties, My Name is Leon is a heart-breaking story of love, identity and learning to overcome unbearable loss. Of the fierce bond between siblings. And how – just when we least expect it – we manage to find our way home.
A superb debut novel which is both heartbreaking and heartwarming in turn – 8.5/10

There is a recipe I'm dying to try for Carbonnade Flamande that calls for Flemish sour ale. While I haven't looked at the store yet, I doubt they have it. I'm in Texas and the beer aisle is mostly the standard IPAs where I live.
Would using a regular ale (I'm sure they have a few) completely change the taste of the recipe? What are the flavor notes of sour ale? Could I just add a little vinegar to make a plain ale work?

maya klausner
Name: Maya Klausner
Profession: Stand Up Comedian
Current project: Trying to sell a pilot and develop emotions.
Website: www.mayaklausner.com
What makes you happy: Making people laugh until they cry (or the other way around), winning the affection of hecklers by empathizing with them, eating mass quantities of cheese, spooning with puppies, getting pretty much anyone to give me a head massage, thinking about tattoos, motorcycles, everything Larry David touches, anything that's free, Audrey Hepburn, fitting into a skinny dude's jeans without perspiring, going longer than a week without throwing my computer down the stairs, going longer than a day without dropping my phone in a bowl of soup.
What is something you want to tell people but it sounds real douchey of you: I tan pretty well I guess.
What are you afraid of: Commitment. And murderers.
What are you wearing. Right. Now. Go: Humane Society member tee-shirt and underpants.
I say: Childhood. Summer. You say: Gushers.
Wish you had the guts to: Certain drugs. But I'm too Jewish and anxious.
Working with EMMA: Undoubtedly. By unleashing some amorphous, potent voodoo power that convinces you that you are without a question the hottest being on the planet. (This feeling doesn't last forever unfortunately) I would say aroused and a little hungry. (This one does).
