Nov. 30 News update: Members of the three state employee unions have voted to ratify the pay plan agreement described below.
Nov. 10 - Rank-and-file members of the joint bargaining team for Montana's state employee unions voted today to accept the State of Montana's latest pay plan proposal.
Katrina Sherman (left) and Tami Ellis, two of the state employee unions' 60-member bargaining team, listen to discussion on the State of Montana's pay plan proposal.
The union team, representing members of MEA-MFT, the Montana Public Employees Association, and AFSCME of Montana, met in Helena today. Paula Stoll, chief labor negotiator for the State of Montana, presented the proposal on behalf of the Schweitzer Administration.
The proposal, which takes up less than one half of a page, provides base pay raises of 1 percent effective the first full pay period in January 2012, and 3 percent effective the first full pay period in January 2013.
The union's team members, who traveled to Helena from all across the state for the bargaining session, then caucused to discuss the Administration's proposal. Team members then voted to approve a tentative agreement.
"We feel this was the right thing to do," said Eric Feaver, president of MEA-MFT. "We are grateful to the State of Montana, Governor Schweitzer, and our sister unions."
The tentative agreement now goes to a mail-in ballot vote by the entire membership of the three unions. Then the governor's office and the three unions will take the agreement to the 2011 Legislature for approval.
"State employees are the people who keep criminals off our streets, keep our drinking water clean and safe, conduct research that creates new businesses and jobs, repair our roads, and more," said Quint Nyman, executive director of the Montana Public Employees Association.
"Montana's economy could not function without them. This agreement recognizes the important contributions they make to Montana's citizens."
Timm Twardoski, executive director of AFSCME, noted that state employees agreed to a pay freeze during the last round of pay plan negotiations. "We're grateful that the State of Montana recognizes that we can't keep good people in these jobs if they can't make a decent living," he said.
"Some of our members make just $10 an hour. This will give them a 10 cent an hour raise. Every little bit helps."

A tax benefit for people who take public transportation is set to shrink Wednesday, a casualty of congressional inaction and a move that some transportation advocates fear will encourage driving instead of mass transit.
The credit allowed transit commuters to set aside wages in an account used exclusively for paying public transportation costs pre-tax. In 2013, the monthly benefit was $245.
But now, because Congress did not renew a package of federal subsidies, the benefit for public transportation users will drop to $130 per month. At the same time, a similar credit allowed motorists for parking will increase to $250 per month. In Massachusetts, that change will primarily affect people who ride longer distances on the commuter rail.
"It just feels like state and federal forces don't want me to take public transit anymore," said Eric Papetti, 32, who rides the commuter rail every day from Somerville to Lowell, where he works as transportation coordinator at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.
In advance of the expiration of $115 in monthly benefits, he has purchased a surplus of commuter rail passes to use up what's left in his account balance. He also plans to begin starting his commuter rail journey from a station farther from his house so he will pay less for his ticket.
'It indicates that Congress thinks people who don't commute by car aren't real or don't count.'
"This sends a terrible message," Papetti said. "It indicates that Congress thinks people who don't commute by car aren't real, or don't count. Instead, they heavily subsidize the most wasteful and inefficient transportation known to man."
The American Public Transportation Association, an organization that promotes the use of mass transit, estimated that those who take longer commutes by rail, bus, or ferry could see their annual commuting costs increase by as much as $1,380 per year.
Mantill Williams, the group's spokesman, explained that the federal parking benefits are a permanent fixture in the tax code and automatically continue each year, increasing to match inflation. In contrast, the benefits for those who use trains or buses are approved on a year-to-year basis. If Congress does not vote to extend the benefit, it is automatically cut nearly in half.
In recent years, renewing the transit tax benefit has been an eleventh-hour undertaking for congressional leaders, Williams said. They allowed the benefit to elapse at the beginning of 2012 and approved a renewal in March of that year. In 2013, Congress voted on Jan. 1 to extend the subsidy.
"The federal tax code has a bias against people taking public transportation," Williams said. "That should be eliminated."
There's hope for the coming months: Congress may pass a "tax extender bill," a package that restores a host of small-scale tax benefits that expire each year, though it's unclear whether the extension would operate retroactively. But Williams and other public transportation advocates are also hoping for a more permanent fix: legislation that would make the public transportation tax break permanent and creating parity with its driving equivalent.
Some legislators, including Representative James P. McGovern of Worcester, have sought to do exactly that, submitting bills that would equalize transit and parking benefits, and would also offer a $35-per-month tax benefit for commuting bicycle expenses or bike-share membership.
"The transit benefit is one small, but significant, piece to making commuting more affordable for millions of Americans," McGovern said in a statement in September.
But Michael Mershon, a spokesman for McGovern, said the legislation has stalled. It remains unclear, Mershon said, whether leadership in the House of Representatives will include the transit tax break in the "extender bill," or whether legislators will wait to incorporate the benefit into a larger tax debate that may occur later this year.
"Frankly it has always been a struggle to try and get this through the House with current leadership," Mershon said. "This is not something they place a high priority on."
Stephanie Pollack, associate director at Northeastern University's Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy, said lawmakers' lack of urgency to make the commuter tax urgent may be attributed to a perception that it affects only wealthier commuters.
"It makes Congress just think, well, it doesn't affect that many people, or it affects people on commuter rail or ferry boats, and they're not the poorest of the poor, so it's OK," Pollack said.
MBTA spokesman Joe Pesaturo suggested that the agency was not particularly worried about the decreasing tax benefit, saying that the primary factor affecting commuter rail ridership is reliability and quality of service. And, by some accounts, the commuter rail is still cheaper than driving: The American Public Transportation Association released a study in December that said Massachusetts families can save as much as $1,083 per month by using the MBTA and down-sizing from two cars to one.
But Pollack worried that the disappearance of this federal tax benefit would be an additional disincentive for people to ride the commuter rail, which has seen declining ridership in recent years.
"It's the wrong sign to be sending at a time when traffic congestion is growing and we care about greenhouse gases," Pollack said. "We should want people to be using transit."

We brew our own beer at Engrained, and most, if not all, the food comes from local farmers. The only problem is that Chef LOVES his meat, and so the menu is primarily meat. He has some great ideas though, and I often find myself mimicking his recipes.... like his honey basil salad dressing, the horseshoe with cheese sauce, and the Mozzarella Stuffed Meatloaf (below). My recipe is a copy-cat mix from this recipe at "Oh She Glows" and what I see Chef make at Engrained.
PS: if you want to check out Engrained and are a vegan, come check it out. We do have some great salads, a daily "vegan special", and you can even order a portobello burger on most days--- the cooks are very accommodating. :)
Mozzarella stuffed Meat-less Loaf
Yield: 8 thick slices
- 1 cup dry lentils
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 3 TBS ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 cup grated sweet potato
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1/3 of an apple, peeled, grated (makes 1/3 cup grated apple)
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup raw toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp rosemary
- Chopped parsley for garnish
- 1/3 cup regular oats, ground into a flour (use GF oats for gluten-free option)
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (I used 3 slices of a GF brown rice bread)
- 1 cup vegan mozzarella cheese ( I would suggest Daiya shreds, which is not what I used but I will in the future.... Daiya always does the trick).
- Ketchup
- In a medium sized pot, add 3 cups of water and a vegetable bouillon cube and boil water until cube is dissolved. Alternatively, you can also use already prepared veggie stock. Rinse lentils and pick over being sure to remove any small pebbles that may be in the mix. Add lentils, bring to boil, and reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is absorbed and lentils are tender (about 40 minutes). Be sure to stir the lentils frequently so they do not stick to the bottom of the pot. Once the lentils are cooked, remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 F and line a loaf pan with parchment so that parchment paper hangs over the edges by 2 inches.
- Mix 3 tbsp of ground flax with 1/2 cup warm water and stir well. Set aside for at least 5-10 minutes so it can gel up (this is your "flax egg")/
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté onion and minced garlic for about 5 minutes on low-medium heat, being careful not to burn. After the onions are tender, add carrot and potato and sauté for 2-3 minutes over low heat. Add grated apple, raisins, and chopped walnuts and sauté another minute or two. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place bread and oatmeal in a food processor and process until it becomes close to a powder.
- Once the lentils are cooled, take 3/4 of the lentils and place into food processor. Process until mostly smooth (some small lentils will remain). Now take the processed lentils and scoop into a large bowl. Add in the remaining 1/4 of non-processed lentils and place into bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, flax egg, veggie mixture, oat flour, and ground flax seed. Stir well with a spoon and then remove the spoon and mix well with your hands, pressing it through your fingers. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- Dump 1/3 the mixture into your loaf pan and spread out with a spoon. Now take your hands and press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Add 1/2 cup of daiya in a even layer on top. Repeat this again, and finish off the top with the last 1/3 of the lentil mixture. Top with a thin layer of ketchup.
- Bake uncovered 45 minutes at 350F.
Cool for about 10-15 minutes, sprinkle with parsley, and serve. Serves about 8 thick slices.

Using Antiretrovirals for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Has Sparked Controversy
September 23, 2011
In an age where there are almost 8,800 HIV-positive Americans anxiously on the AIDS Drug Assistance Program waiting list, new reports are coming out that HIV medications are being used by, and experimented on, people with chronic fatigue syndrome.
Understandably, this development has created an uproar with all eyes focused on Gilead Sciences, the makers of Viread, the HIV drug being used to treat chronic fatigue syndrome. The New York Times reported:
When medications have proved safe and effective for most patients, it is standard practice for pharmaceutical companies to see if the drugs have other applications. But with H.I.V. drugs, the practice has been unusually contentious, fostering debates about questionable science, safety and profiteering, and concerns that thousands of Americans infected with H.I.V. cannot get the medications ...
Ged Kenslea, a spokesman for AIDS Healthcare Foundation, told the Times, "They are giving these lifesaving drugs to people who do not have H.I.V., while those who need them are going without."
Do you agree with Kenslea? And with the recent successes of PrEP, should AIDS meds be used for people who are not living with HIV/AIDS?

Is the UFC's Fox Deal Hurting Business?
(Video courtesy of YouTube/StudioMMA)
An interesting quote from the interview above by our friends at StudioMMA got me thinking today whether or not the landmark TV deal the UFC struck with Fox is helping or hindering Zuffa's bottom line.
According to UFC president Dana White, every day he deals with fans who say they had no idea that the UFC is broadcasting events on Fox and it's affiliates like FX and Fuel TV.
"Our deal with Fox is seven years. Over the next two years we're working our asses off to get this Fox deal dialed in… Fuel, FX and big Fox — as far as the production goes, as far as the type of programming we're going to continue to put together, fine-tuning the Ultimate Fighter that's live and reaching out and letting not only the hardcore fans, the sometimes fans and people who aren't yet fans know that we're on Fox. That's a bigger job than people could imagine. How many people that I still talk to on Twitter that have no idea we are on FOX, FX or FUEL; oh, it's crazy man. It's crazy. So that's what we're going to be doing in the next two years."Read More DIGG THIS

You have the right to:
1. Find your writing groove. The biggest schoolyard bully is the blank sheet of paper. Time to strike back.
2. Save your energy drinks for a fun night out. Shmoop will help you kick that can by supplementing your sleep-inducing (and wallet-draining) textbooks.
3. A lotta links. Photo-audio-video-…stuff like that.
4. Learn like it's the 21st century. Text and printed books are kinda 20th century (15th century, actually) – but great stories are timeless.
5. Debate with your teachers. Every story has multiple sides.
6. Find literature, history, and poetry relevant – inspiring, even – to the life you live today.

OGDEN — Organizers say it's got an intimate, family-friendly feel to it — sort of like one big family reunion.
That is, if your family happens to geek out on listening to oom-pah-pah music. And eating wiener schnitzel. And wearing leather britches.
Oh, plus you never know when folks will spontaneously break out into the hilarious "chicken dance."
RELATED: 2017 Hof Germanfest returns to Ogden for 31st year celebrating German culture
Next weekend, the 32nd annual Sneddon HOF GermanFest comes to the Golden Spike Event Center, offering more Teutonic music, food, art and culture than you can shake an alpenhorn at.
"A lot of people come to me and say this is kind of a family reunion for them," said Duncan Olsen, general manager of the Golden Spike Event Center. "They see people they don't see much during the year and share some German food and fun. It's got that homestyle feel."
RELATED: Hof German Winter Festival
The event takes place from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 19-20, in the event center's Exhibit Hall at 1000 N. 1200 West. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for students and $5 for children. A family pass — good for up to two adults and four children or students — is $25. More information is available at 801-399-8277.
Olsen says one of the highlights each year is the musical groups that keep the party going with songs from that part of the world. Performing this year will be The Gruber Family Band, Jaegerswald Musikanten, Park City Polka Players, and the popular Salzburger Echo.
The event also will feature authentic German food by Siegfried's Sausages, Vosen's Bread Paradise and Nutcracker Sweets.
Olsen says they've made a bit of a change to the crafts portion of GermanFest, so there won't be as many booths.
"We're trying to keep an authentic German feel, so we didn't let as many craft booths and vendor booths in as in the past," he said. "We're trying to get that handmade, German feel to the items."
The Weber State University Institute Alumni Folk Dancers also will entertain, and lessons will be offered on everything from waltzes and polkas to the crowd-favorite chicken dance.
"A lot of people don't get an opportunity to experience something like this," Olsen said. "But while they won't be able to travel to Germany, they can come and experience the food, the music, the arts and — for those who do drink — craft beers, all of which offer the feel of a real German festival."
The Sneddon HOF GermanFest has been operating, under one name or another, since 1986. Originally, it was planned as a cultural exchange event intended to revive a sister city relationship between Ogden and Hof, Germany, that had existed since 1955.
Former Ogden mayor and then-city-council member Scott Sneddon was the driving force behind organizing what at that time was called the Ogden Hof Winter Carnival. Today, the event is named in honor of Sneddon, who died of cancer in 2005.
His widow, Katherine Heninger, has kept the Sneddon name alive with a scholarship in his memory. At the time of Sneddon's death, Heninger asked that in lieu of flowers, people donate to a memorial scholarship in his name. That fund has since earned enough to become a perpetuating endowment, which each year offers between three and five partial scholarships to third- and fourth-year students in the respiratory therapy department at Weber State University.
Heninger and others continue to man a booth at the festival each year, with all proceeds from items sold going to the scholarship fund. Over the years, the booth has sold everything from Hof memorabilia to hand-carved items, felt chicken hats to baskets to be raffled off.
Olsen hopes those who've never tried the Sneddon HOF GermanFest will give it a chance.
"It's an event and an experience that you don't get every day," he said. "I feel like if people would open up and try something new, they would be hooked."
Each year, local schools plan field trips to the first day of the festival, according to Heninger. She believes it's important for children to be exposed to cultural events like the Sneddon HOF GermanFest.
"I think when young people are exposed to different cultural things at an early age, they're much more apt to be open-minded about different people and places," Heninger said. "They learn we're all much more alike than we sometimes think."

A special congratulations to Cyndy Hunting for being our first reader to work out that the August puzzler showed Garden and Hog islands in northern Lake Michigan. After 19 puzzlers, this was the first time the correct answer came in as a comment on our Facebook page. Just a few hours after Cyndy nailed the location on Facebook, CEM posted the correct answer on our Earth Matters blog.
Meantime, Shawn O and Daniel Bailey were putting forward thoughtful theories about the geological processes that shaped the islands rather than simply worrying about the location. As they suggested, a combination of glacial scouring and rising water levels likely formed the distinctive ridges while the Laurentide ice sheet was retreating and forming Lake Michigan. You can read our Image of the Day caption here. And check out this interesting effort to make detailed maps of the lake floor of an area near Hog Island.

*1/2 (out of four)
As they say, it ain't over until the mother of the incinerated demon baby sings.
Actually, 17-year-old Nell (Ashley Bell) barely remembers the events of 2010's hit "The Last Exorcism," the surprisingly creepy thriller in which the professor from "Saved by the Bell: The College Years" played a priest aiming to expose exorcisms as hooey. He obviously learned his lesson, but in "The Last Exorcism Part II"—whose self-parodying title recalls nonsense like "Final Destination 5"—Nell only vaguely recalls her conflict with a demon named Abalam, who Nell screams will "kill us all!" as she shakes in the bath.
Unfortunately, no one refers to this condition as the Abalam Shakes.
The first "Last Exorcism" made unusually effective use of the found-footage approach and actually explored the vulnerabilities of believers and the doubts of the unconvinced. With a new director and writers, "Part II" dumps the faux-doc style and revives the same shadowy figures and cheap loud noises as the previous 5,000 "Exorcist" rip-offs. Nell moves into a "transitional house" for troubled young women in New Orleans, though the girls don't appear damaged at all and enjoy the care of a mustached father figure (Muse Watson) who occasionally turns up to say, "What the hell is going on?"
He also promises, "Whatever you're running from won't find you here," a statement that's just asking to be proven wrong.
It would be a lot more interesting to have Nell live in the wake of the first movie's terror, rather than periodically forgetting it to giggle about a guy (Spencer Treat Clark) who likes her. Or maybe she could just not continually shake off visions of her dead father (Louis Herthum), to which she always responds, her eyes gaping wide, "Daddy …"
Among the many sins committed by the rarely unsettling and frequently ridiculous "The Last Exorcism Part II," the worst may be the film teasing the presence of a demon chicken and then not delivering. That's just not something you joke about.

I wrote:I am now out of finals and vacation (which was fun) and am entering this school year with Humanities and Typography. Although I do have editing gigs scheduled in between that (I get to edit a metal music video. :!O ) I should have plenty of time for this project now. (My lack of credits this quarter is due to multiple scheduling conflicts. :/ )
I had an idea about transitions and I realize this is a VERY BAD TIME to bring this up but I was wondering if it would hurt any of the several people who worked on the Mix's feelings if we were to ditch the mix idea and go with people doing their own segments then just trying to mux those together afterward.
If not, I had another idea which consisted of taking everyone's version of the muse mix and muxxing sections of those together so everyone who worked on the mix would be in (I haven't tried working this out yet so I don't know how good it would sound... )
Anyway, looking for others' ideas.
If both are ridiculous (Which they could be; I suck at audio) let me know and I'll take no offense.
It is just now that I have free time, even though I have school, most others do not right now so I'd like ot try and get this off the ground (again).
I'd also like to thank you guys for keeping this thread alive for so long, as well. If it weren't for you, this project surely would've died in my mind. I hope I can be a suitable project lead.
Last updated: 1/6/07
Hey everyone, and welcome to the Muse Project! The working name for it is project.mu, but we really hope we can come up with a better name than that soon(if you have any suggestions, let me know). This project is produced by me(SQ) and directed by Devolution.
The start date for this project is unknown. We've run into a lot of snags, but hopefully we'll be ready to go before February. Editors will be pre-screened for this MEP, meaning that to enter we(Devo and I) must have (a) a sample of what you are currently working on, (b) Your latest work, OR (c) What you believe to be your 'best' work, and like it. If we do like the way/style you edit, you will be accepted. You may also be invited to this MEP through me or Devo.
There are about 20 tracks in this MEP, and they [will be] mixed together by [Requiett or Scott Green or Jay, who isn't a member of the .org]. Originally the mix was supposed to be done by Jay, but.. Stuff happened... And now two others are working on it. I haven't heard much from Jay. But when everyone gets done with their respective mixes, we'll choose which one we like best and use it. =3
The tracks are, in no particular order:
Shrinking Universe
Apocolypse Please
Stockholm Syndrome
In Your World
Plug in Baby
Tsp(or 'The Small Print')
Time is Running Out
Citizen Erased
Butterflies and Hurricanes
Muscle Museum
New Born
Knights of Cydonia
Map of Problematique
Super Massive Black Hole
There are twenty tracks total, consisting of Muse's more upbeat songs from every CD they've released(except singles and live CDs/DVDs).
Currently, the tentative theme of this project is 'overcome'[the theme will ultimately depend on what the mix sounds like]. Whether this is the main character overcoming something, someone, or being overcome is your choice. The tentative style is 'action synch'[this also depends on which mix we use, but will probably stay in tact]. If you'd like to synch to lyrics, we would ask that you begin your track with action synch, 'fade in' to lyric synch, and then 'fade out' to action synch at the end of your track, so it will match better.
Each track is a thirty seconds to a minute long, and the MEP is currently open to sixteen individual editors(aside from Devo and myself). If many people are interested, we may be able to split up longer tracks and give more than one editor to the same song(but we would prefer not to do this).
The tentative deadline for this project(once it starts) is July 1, 2007. This should give editors plenty of time to finish their tracks, and allow us one month(approximately) to ready the MEP in hopes of sending to AWA 13. The deadline may be earlier than July, however(depending on circumstances).
Tentative requirements for this project include:
- A screenshot of your work enviornment/timeline/project after you have finished your project
- A huffyuv-encoded, or otherwise lossless-encoded video without audio at [determined resolution/aspect ratio here] and [29.97fps] before the deadline of your final work.
- A beta at any format, of any time(longer than one second), with sound, at the Producer or Director(I and Devo, respectively)'s discretion, usually at pre-defined dates.
- A file-transfer program or resource(such as your own webspace, yousendit, rapidshare, FTP, IM service, etc.)
- A pre-screen from Devo and/or SQ before entry into MEP, or an invite from one of us
When claiming of tracks start(they have not, yet) you should claim a primary, secondary, and 'dropout' track. The primary track is what track you really would like to do. Secondary is the track you will do if you cannot get your primary track, and the 'drop out' track whether or not you are willing to edit a track someone drops.
The 'dropout' track is optional, and to qualify for receiving of an actual dropout track(should someone drop out), you must be willing to make a track of excellent or near-excellent quality(editing-wise) in a short period of time.
You should also provide link(s) to either your latest work, a beta of your current work, or what you believe is your best work at the time of claiming so we may pre-screen you for entry into the Project(if you were not invited).
Some tentative rules for editing of this project are:
- Must have anime from a legal(i.e. not bootleg) DVD, or raws or r0s of anime that either (a) have not been liscened/released in your area yet, or (b) you have proven you can filter/clean enough to pass the source as DVD quality.
- Your track may not contain subtitles, or overt titles unless done in a stylistic manner that could easily match or flow with the rest of the tracks in the project.
- Your track may not contain overt special effects that may be unable to match or flow with the track surrounding your's(i.e. the tracks before and after your's). Please either pass betas back and forth between the editors before and after you, or converse with them so we may keep the project cohesive.
In conclusion, this project has not started yet, track claiming has not started yet, many things have not been finalized, and the mix is currently in production.
We hope you will enjoy this project and/or participate in it. Please stay current with the thread until we eventually move to a new one (undecided if we will or not), and/or the project starts.
At which time, critical updates will probably be emailed to you as well as posted in the thread.

(CNN) -- In the past year, CNN Photos has turned the lens on not only what you want to see, but also what you need to see.
"In a world saturated by photography, our job is to wade through it all, make sense of it, and showcase the important work," said Simon Barnett, director of photography for CNN Digital.
In more than 200 posts since November 3, 2011, CNN Photos has showcased everything from pop culture to portraiture, from war to world issues -- and the stories behind them.
Steve McCurry's "Afghan girl," one of the most recognized portraits ever made, still resonates. Martin Parr's modernist documentary photography has been startling viewers for well over three decades, and Dan Winters' portraits of everyone from President Barack Obama to rapper Tupac are made with unique and iconic precision.
The photos help shed light on social injustices around the world, too. Stephanie Sinclair has spent more than a decade documenting childhood marriage in hopes of giving a voice to the issue. And while he was covering Mexico's drug war, David Rochkind saw a family so hardened to violence that one person ate spaghetti just a few feet from a murdered cousin. Jan Banning's portraits of homeless people in the United States provide an intimate look at a community many typically avoid eye contact with.
In between, Laura Noel's artistic work of discarded library books captivates as well as the work of emerging talent 17-year-old Maria Sardari.
The photos also draw the curtain back on celebrities: never-before-seen images of Lady Gaga before she was Gaga, the Rolling Stones backstage in 1972 and the late Whitney Houston as a teenager.
"These are exciting times for photography," Barnett said. "Our goal is to be the platform for challenging and provocative work that you don't see anywhere else."
So, what are some of those pieces? Here's a look at 10 editors' picks:
CNN Photos Editors' Top 10 Picks
The following blog posts from the past year are the CNN Photos editors' favorites, in no certain order:
Celebrities pose for unseen portraits by Chris Buck
Chris Buck became a celebrity photographer because he loves popular culture and experimental, on-the-fringe artwork, he said. His talent, combined with his dry sense of humor, led him to make portraits of celebrities in which the star hides within the frame.
Russia's 'City of Brides' by Alena Zhandarova
So many women have come to work in Ivanovo, Russia, that it has been dubbed the "city of brides." For a year, student photographer Alena Zhandarova used social media to find women living in her hometown, the country's onetime textile capital.
Transgender life in Pakistan by Guy Calaf
Photographer Guy Calaf discovered Pakistan's transgender community, or hijras, while working on an assignment about heroin addiction in Punjab. Although he wouldn't necessarily call visiting hijras common practice, they have an established presence in South Asia.
The unique vision of Tim Hetherington by Tim Hetherington
Photojournalist Tim Hetherington lost his life in Libya last year while covering the country's civil war. His work from Liberia and Afghanistan, exhibited at the Yossi Milo Gallery in New York, focuses on the individual's perspective of experiencing war. Hetherington's joint-effort film, "Restrepo," was nominated for an Oscar.
A decade of 'England Uncensored' by Peter Dench
British photojournalist Peter Dench has been documenting "the ordinary and the extraordinary" in England for more than a decade. A collection of his distinctive, quirky images recently published in "England Uncensored," the first book financed by the crowd-funding website Emphas.is.
Cancer: 'The battle we didn't choose' by Angelo Merendino
"The minute I saw her, I knew. There she is. That's the girl I'm going to marry," photographer Angelo Merendino said of Jennifer, the woman who indeed became his bride. His photo documentary, "The Battle We Didn't Choose," follows her fight against cancer.
One deep breath: Pushing the limits of freediving by Logan Mock-Bunting
Off the coast of the Cayman Islands, Logan Mock-Bunting photographed an international freediving competition and witnessed iron-lung athletes break breath-holding records. An experienced freediver, he shot the underwater event without an air tank.
Tourist trophy hunters chase African wildlife by David Chancellor
The African hunting scene draws tourists from around the globe interested in chasing and killing some of the world's most dangerous game. For four years, photographer David Chancellor has traveled with some of these hunters in sub-Saharan Africa.
'Half': One woman's struggle with weight loss by Julia Kozerski
When Julia Kozerski began losing weight in 2009, she started an intimate, "brutally honest" self-portrait project, "Half," documenting the process and her progress. She photographed her unclothed, changing body and found the process consoled her.
In Syrian hospital, 'no escape from war' by Seamus Murphy
In a war zone like Syria, photojournalist Seamus Murphy knows that a helicopter hovering over a hospital is a bad sign. The Russian-made MI8 launched two rockets into the building. Working with a fixer in Turkey, Murphy spent three days in Syria.

News Panel:
RICHMOND FIGHTS FORECLOSURES - Taking the foreclosure crisis into its own hands, the city of Richmond is threatening an unprecedented use of eminent domain to bail out residents with underwater mortgages. The move is being contested vigorously by banks, but proponents say it would allow residents to refinance their homes at current market values and prevent future foreclosures. Eminent domain is the acquisition of private property for public use.
UNION NEGOTIATIONS - The threat of a second strike by BART workers this summer and other labor disputes have sparked debate about the role of unions and employers in guaranteeing middle class compensation and benefits. AC Transit, Alameda County's public transportation authority, also narrowly averted a strike this week.
CHEVRON FIRE ANNIVERSARY - Protesters marked the one year anniversary of a fire at the Chevron refinery in Richmond that sent more than 15,000 area residents to hospitals complaining of respiratory problems. The oil giant pleaded no contest to 6 criminal charges of violating labor and health codes and agreed to pay $2 million in fines and restitution. Meanwhile, the city of Richmond is suing Chevron over the August 6, 2012 explosion for "neglect...and corporate indifference."
"NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" WAIVERS - San Francisco, Oakland, and six other California cities were granted waivers from the strict requirements and tough sanctions of the federal No Child Left Behind law. The school districts, which together encompass nearly one million students, have a year to re-allocate funding originally earmarked for tutoring and to implement an evaluation system that they proposed.
Guests: Carolyn Said, San Francisco Chronicle; Josh Richman, Bay Area News Group; David Baker, San Francisco Chronicle; and Jill Tucker, San Francisco Chronicle.

Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times will examine the factors that have led to the broader deterioration of US-Russia relations.
* Terror threats have kept US embassies in Middle Eastern and African countries closed all week. The US has launched drone attacks targeting militants in Yemen while Yemeni security announced they foiled a plot by Al Qaeda to attack fuel pipelines and two of the nation's ports.

Free download MP4 to WMA Converter, install it and launch it. Then follow the three steps to convert MP4 to WMA.
The first step is to select the files to convert mp4 to wma. Run MP4 to WMA Convertor and use the Folder Explorer to browse to the files you want to convert. Then select the file in the File List, drag it to the Drop Zone and drop it there. Optionally, the MP4 to WMA Converter allows you to edit the audio tags of any selected file in the Drop Zone.
Once the files are selected, the next step is to select the output settings in MP4 to WMA Converter.
The second step is to select the output settings. To begin, select the folder to save the output file to and choose the action to be executed if the output file already exists - create a new file, overwrite or skip the existing file.
You can also set the MP4 to WMA Converter to delete a source file after conversion and preserve the the original folder structure, when doing batch conversion.
Finally, you should select the output format and audio quality. In the WMA dialog box, choose the format settings for the final WMA files. Depending on quality you need, select the bitrate of the file, sample rate and the number of channels. You will probably lose some audio content if you choose the mono option. You can choose what sample rate you want to use. 44.1 kHz (or 44100 Hz) is the sample rate used by audio CDs. Less than that and you'll start to hear the loss in quality. You can choose the bit rate you want to use.
Once the output settings are customized, you go to the final step - mp4 to wma conversion.
Click Convert button to start to convert MP4 to WMA or other audio format you desired. A conversion dialog will appear to show the progress of mp4 to wma conversion. If you want to stop the process, please click Stop button. After the conversion, you can click the Output Folder button to get the converted files and transfer to your iPod, iPad, iPhone, mp3 player or hard driver.
During the turning mp4 into wma, you can change the priority of the process or set an automatic event to be executed when the conversion is over. After the conversion of mp4 to wma has finished, you can find the wma files in the output folder you specified.

A: This is a good question, but unfortunately, the short answer is YES. Since WMA is a lossy audio format, converting any audio formats (e.g. MP4) to WMA is a quality-loss process.

A: MPEG-4 Part 14 or MP4 is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio, but can also be used to store other data such as subtitles and still images. Like most modern container formats, it allows streaming over the Internet. The only official filename extension for MPEG-4 Part 14 files is .mp4, but many have other extensions, most commonly .m4a and .m4p. M4A (audio only) is often compressed using AAC encoding (lossy), but can also be in Apple Lossless format. M4P is a protected format which employs DRM technology to restrict copying. MPEG-4 Part 14 (formally ISO/IEC 14496-14:2003) is a standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. While the only official filename extension defined by the standard is .mp4, various filename extensions are commonly used to indicate intended content: MPEG-4 files with audio and video generally use the standard .mp4 extension. Audio-only MPEG-4 files generally have a .m4a extension. This is especially true of non-protected content. MPEG-4 files with audio streams encrypted by FairPlay Digital Rights Management as were sold through the iTunes Store use the .m4p extension. iTunes Plus tracks, that the iTunes Store currently sells, are unencrypted and use .m4a accordingly. Audiobook and podcast files, which also contain metadata including chapter markers, images, and hyperlinks, can use the extension .m4a, but more commonly use the .m4b extension. An .m4a audio file cannot "bookmark" (remember the last listening spot), whereas .m4b extension files can. The Apple iPhone uses MPEG-4 audio for its ringtones but uses the .m4r extension rather than the .m4a extension. Raw MPEG-4 Visual bitstreams are named .m4v but this extension is also sometimes used for video in MP4 container format. Mobile phones use 3GP, an implementation of MPEG-4 Part 12 (a.k.a. MPEG-4/JPEG2000 ISO Base Media file format), similar to MP4. It uses .3gp and .3g2 extensions. These files also store non-MPEG-4 data (H.263, AMR, TX3G). M4A stands for MPEG 4 Audio and is a filename extension used to represent audio files. The existence of two different filename extensions, .MP4 and .M4A, for naming audio-only MP4 files has been a source of confusion among users and multimedia playback software. Some file managers, such as Windows Explorer, look up the media type and associated applications of a file based on its filename extension. But since MPEG-4 Part 14 is a container format, MPEG-4 files may contain any number of audio, video, and even subtitle streams, making it impossible to determine the type of streams in an MPEG-4 file based on its filename extension alone. In response, Apple Inc. started using and popularizing the .m4a filename extension, which is used for MP4 containers with audio data in the lossy Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) or its own Apple Lossless (ALAC) formats. Software capable of audio/video playback should recognize files with either .m4a or .mp4 filename extensions, as would be expected, since there are no file format differences between the two. Most software capable of creating MPEG-4 audio will allow the user to choose the filename extension of the created MPEG-4 files.

A: Windows Media Audio (WMA) is the name of a series of audio codecs and their corresponding audio coding formats developed by Microsoft. It is a proprietary technology that forms part of the Windows Media framework. Microsoft developed Windows Media Audio in an effort to undermine the MP3, Apple's AAC compression, and other codecs. Since its initial introduction, the format has grown to support a range of audio types beyond compressed audio — from high-fidelity audio and multi-channel surround sound, to a compression algorithm specifically tailored for the human voice. WMA consists of four distinct codecs. The original WMA codec, known simply as WMA, was conceived as a competitor to the popular MP3 and RealAudio codecs. WMA Pro, a newer and more advanced codec, supports multichannel and high resolution audio. A lossless codec, WMA Lossless, compresses audio data without loss of audio fidelity (the regular WMA format is lossy). WMA Voice, targeted at voice content, applies compression using a range of low bit rates. Microsoft has also developed a digital container format called Advanced Systems Format to store audio encoded by WMA. Even though Microsoft claims it is able to deliver the same quality as MP3 at half the bitrates, that statement is certainly false. A more realistic number would be same quality at around 25% smaller bitrates - and that applies to low bitrates only. At 128kbps, it is easily beaten by Lame. However, while WMA still remains widely used today, the proprietary codec pales in comparison to MP3 and other digital formats. If you listen to music on anything remotely similar to an iPod, you'll likely have to convert your WMA files into a more accessible format before enjoying your tunes.

Tonight at 5: What it takes to get a CWP?
No matter where you stand on gun control, one thing's for sure: record numbers of South Carolinians are getting concealed weapons permits.
"It's a hot item right now. Everybody's talking about it. Everybody wants to get a permit. Everybody wants to make sure they've got something to protect themselves with," said David Blanton, owner of Top Gun Shooting in Boiling Springs.
But what do they teach in the required 8 hour course? Is it enough training for people who plan to tote a gun in public?
News 4's Tim Waller enrolled in one of the many CWP courses to find. His special report airs tonight at 5 on WYFF News 4.

Vital Records
Vital records are handled by the County Orphans' Court. Between the years 1852-1855 Pennsylvania made a failed attempt to record birth, marriage and death events at the county level. While the records for that time period are available, there were few events recorded. County marriage records were kept in earnest in 1885. Births and deaths, at the county level, were begun in 1893 and kept through 1905. Abstracts and copies of vital records are available for some counties, but most are incomplete. For the most complete set of records, always contact the County Orphans' Court.
Early births 1893–1905 are located at the County Orphans' Court. See the heading Court Records on this page for contact information.
Indexes for Pennsylvania birth records are available through the Department of of Health for 1906 and 1907. Once an individual is located in the index a non certified Birth certificate can be obtained by writing and sending $3.00 to:
