"The surface of the Earth is the shore of the cosmic ocean... Recently, we've managed to wade a little way out, and the water seems inviting." - Carl Sagan
Spherical planetary nebula Abell 39
Ghostly in appearance, Abell 39 is a remarkably simple, spherical nebula about five light-years across. Well within our own Milky Way galaxy, the cosmic sphere is roughly 7,000 light-years distant toward the constellation Hercules. Abell 39 is a planetary nebula, formed as a once sun-like star's outer atmosphere was expelled over a period of thousands of years. Still visible, the nebula's central star is evolving into a hot white dwarf. Although faint, the nebula's simple geometry has proven to be a boon to astronomers exploring the chemical abundances and life cycles of stars. In this deep image recorded under dark night skies, very distant background galaxies can be found — some visible right through the nebula itself.

Douglas, who won two gold medals at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, will pen a behind-the-scenes look into her life.
NEW YORK — Olympic gold medalist Gabrielle Douglas, not yet 18, will publish her second memoir next month, publisher Zondervan said on Tuesday.
Douglas, 17, a gold medal winner at the 2012 Summer Olympics in both team and individual all-around gymnastics competition, will publish "Raising the Bar", a follow-up to her 2012 best-selling memoir "Grace, Gold & Glory: My Leap of Faith", on April 30, the publishers said in a release.
Zondervan is a division of HarperCollins that specializes in Christian-oriented books.
The book will offer a behind-the-scenes look into Douglas' life, including color photos, personal stories and details on the athlete's present-day life — from walking red carpets and appearing on TV shows such as "The Vampire Diaries" while also making time for friends, family and training.
"'Raising the Bar' explores what it's like to be an everyday teen with a not-so-everyday life," Zondervan said.
Douglas, who began training at age 6 and became the Virginia State Champion just 2 years later, made history last year when she became the first U.S. gymnast to take home a team and an individual gold medal in the same games. She was first African-American to win the individual gold.
Since the 2012 London Olympics thrust the young gymnast into the public eye, Douglas has appeared at the Democratic National Convention, the MTV Video Awards, on the cover of Time magazine and on special edition boxes of corn flake cereal, along with her gold medal.

Antitrust concerns prompt resignations of Sprint Nextel CEO, two others
Responding to concerns over recent developments in antitrust law, Sprint Nextel CEO Dan Hesse and two other Sprint executives have stepped down from the board of directors of wireless broadband services provider Clearwire Corp.
Clearwire (NASDAQ: CLWR) is a joint venture formed in 2008 by Sprint, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Google Intel Capital and Bright House Networks, but Sprint owns 51 percent of the company. Prior to the resignations, seven of the 13 board members were Sprint appointees.
According to a Clearwire press release, the company was informed by Sprint that the resignations "were made out of an abundance of caution to address questions raised by Clearwire regarding new developments in antitrust law." (An "abundance of caution"? Who talks like that?)
The other Sprint executives resigning from the board are Keith O. Cowan and Steven L. Elfman, both officers of Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S). Cowan is Sprint's president of strategy and corporate initiatives, while Elfman serves as president of network operations and wholesale. The departures leave only four Sprint appointees on the board, though "Sprint reserved the right to appoint new members" at a later date, Clearwire said.
The legal case that prompted Clearwire's concerns and Sprint's move was a Supreme Court decision in American Needle Inc. vs. National Football League, according to IDG News Service:
In the American Needle decision, the Supreme Court allowed a lawsuit to go forward over whether the NFL and its member teams could grant an exclusive license to one vendor to make team merchandise. Clearwire said its concerns revolved around the Clayton Act, which is designed to stop anti-competitive practices.
Sprint's "abundance of caution" was well-received on Wall Street. Sprint Nextel shares were up 25 cents, or 0.54 percent, to 4.63 in late afternoon trading, while Clearwire was up 16 cents, or 2.02 percent, to 8.09. Earlier in the day Clearwire had reached 8.82, a 52-week high.

KO is a stock that you simply hold in your port and never look at. I have it set up in the DRIP program they offer. I can`t begin to tell you through good and bad times how well KO has preformed. This is my second stock split. For those who are new to KO or worried, DON~T BE!!This stock will continue to grow and prosper....
I smell a liar-- 20 years would have 4 splits in it... not two.
3 splits
I wish all the posts on Yahoo were as informative, warm and interesting as these posts.It's a shame what you'll read on other stock boards. Just bought my first 1000 shares of KO. Always wanted to own some.
I've held KO for 124 years and 18 stock splits. I plan to hold it for another 240 years then I might take some profits. Seriously, hold KO like MO, PM, KFT and McD and just watch it grow with dividend reinvestment. A thing of beauty!
Time to buy was in 2009...that was too easy. Now it is priced in.
Well of course everything is speculative, but it terms of risk/reward KO is historically proven. It's good to see a young person that plans for the future beyond the next tweet. I made a deal with my friends 17 year old daughter, where I transfered a share of AEP to her as a DRIP. I told her if you answer 4 questions, I'll give you a drip share of XOM, then 4 more questions and I'll add a KO drip share. The questions were like: what does price to earnings mean? What is AEP p/e. The intent was to give her a little smarts about investing, but she totally blew it off.So basically, I was offering her $88+ for answering 4 questions. Her school doesn't pay her anything to study, so how is she supposed to get an education. Around the time my parents got me involved in drips, my grandmother gave me some of her baseball cards and she loved Ty Cobb. As I began to research Ty Cobb, I found out how he made lots of money being invested in KO, which became my first interest in the company.
I'm in for almost 10. Reinvesting the Divs all the way. Don't see myself selling soon with all the projected overseas growth.
Likewise, 40 year drip owner here.
Held ko same for over 20 years...retired from coke with 30 years...their was never any stopping their growth...this company continues to evaluate their position world wide and makes the necessary adjustments to move forward... 3 years from now ko will be in the 60's
Worked for Coke before Roberto C. Goizueta, died and the stock topped $85/share. It split 3 times when Goizueta was running Coke. Dropped like a rock when he died and the shares that just split are the same ones that sold for $85 in July of 1998. KO is a great company but it isn't magic. Stock price is directly linked to consumer sentiment (emotion).
Those of us that held shares in 1998 have waited for 14 years to get close to those valuations.
Sentiment: Hold
Not braging but to reinterate, bought in 05' for 41 and change, thoght it would never get thru 50, finely, after the split,sold half for 39 and change, and sold Jan calls on the rest. As i said befor it is not "always time for Coke". Best wishes to you who are still holding, as for me I'm leaving consumer goods for a while..
I can't speak for KO's future but I am also in the same boat. Purchased KO at three times over past 23 years. 1989, 1995, and in 2010. DRIP in between. Stock price in the 2000s languished and the DRIP being in place helped with the lower prices. KO at $60 seems way overpriced. Continue to believe that it is a must for long term dividend players.

i have not these yet, but they look like they will do the job.
Rust and tips not straight.
It's very good. No corrosion and the tips are on straight. It even feels heavier. I'd like to see a reproduction BAR gunner's belt and pouchs to go with it.
The M36 suspenders are sound and well made, just need a mussette bag and a pistol belt to go with it.
These suspenders rock. Tough as nails. I have a pair of heavy wool pants that came with buttons for suspendors. These suspenders have hooks, so I bought some S hooks and used pliers to crimp them over the buttons. This set up is bomber. These pants are the talk of the town and will be for a long time coming.

Get back on the horse.
Bronken heart can't be mended, it can grow back together. But it won't be complete again, wounds will stay, but they won't be as noticeable as before. So time helps, friends help but heart will never be complete again.

Since crazy glue doesn't work, the only cure for a broken heart is time. Time heals all wounds.
Duct Tape, it fixes everything...
yeah. they did. "STAYIN ALIVE, STAYIN ALIVE"
yes time will help but time is too slow when you wish otherwise...

best thing is to improve yourself to work on solution how your mind can be diverted, personally i am putting all my sorrow and self pity together(although difficult) writing a book, concentrate all energy to my well being, to learn from mistake, drugs and self harm don't help make it worst.

(we would not be heart broke otherwise)

UES Council Members Eye Higher Offices
The Upper East Side appears to be a perfect incubator for ambitious young politicians seeking to move up the ranks of New York City politics. Both City Council members Jessica Lappin, representing Roosevelt Island and the eastern portion of the neighborhood, and Dan Garodnick, who represents the western portion bordering Central Park and south to Turtle Bay and Stuyvesant Town, are eyeing higher office in the 2013 elections.
"It's no secret that Jessica is laying the groundwork to make a strong run for borough president next year, should Borough President Stringer decide not to run for re-election," said Mark Guma, political consultant to Lappin, who responded to a request for comment to Lappin's office.
Lappin has been a strong voice on senior citizen issues, chairing the Committee on Aging since 2010, and also on women's rights; last year, she co-sponsored a bill that passed the Council and now requires crisis pregnancy centers that do not provide medical or abortion services to advertise themselves that way. She has amassed over $331,000 in campaign contributions, according to state campaign finance board records, and is waiting to officially declare a candidacy for borough president when Stringer declares his run for mayor, which political insiders say is all but a done deal.
Buzz is already swirling around who would fill Lappin's 5th District seat, with political consultant Ben Kallos having registered a campaign committee and confirming that he'll definitely run if Lappin doesn't. People have also mentioned Assembly Member Micah Kellner as a possible contender for the seat.
Garodnick has raised over $1 million for his yet-to-be-declared race, but a source close to the council member confirmed that he's looking at the comptroller's seat, which will be up for grabs if John Liu runs for mayor.
"People continue to come up to Dan and tell him that they think he'd be a great comptroller, that he has the right skill set and values for it," the source said. "He's listening to that and thinking about that, and it's an interesting possibility."
Garodnick currently serves as the chair of the Consumer Affairs Committee in the Council and has worked successfully on tenant protection and housing issues.
As political consultant George Arzt pointed out, it's not unusual for big political players to come out of the Upper East Side.
"The silk stocking district, as the Upper East Side was once called, has always been a breeding ground for aspiring politicians," Arzt said. "That includes Ed Koch."
He also speculated that both potential candidates are probably enticed by the idea of running in open races without incumbents to conquer, and said that both Lappin and Garodnick are viable contenders at this point for their respective races.
"The ZIP codes, especially 10021 [the East 70s, which the council members share], are ZIP codes where a lot of money comes out of and a lot of fundraising is done. That is a major factor," Arzt said.
If Lappin runs for the borough presidency, she's likely to face off with downtown Community Board 1 Chair Julie Menin and fellow City Council members Robert Jackson, who represents Upper Manhattan's District 7, and Gale Brewer, who covers the Upper West Side. For the comptroller's seat, Brooklyn Council Member Domenic Recchia, chairman of the Finance Committee, is the only likely challenger to Garodnick at this point—but of course, the field can change vastly.
"Anyone who announces right now is a contender," Arzt said. "It's only later on that you see the resources of the candidate and see the support in the geographical areas that they need, either Manhattan or citywide."

Made this for myself today out of a scale someone left in the dorms after last semester. Click on the image for the website that inspired this.
THINNERDoes NOT Mean Happier
- Thank you for carrying me through the day. Think of your body as a whole, rather than a sum of parts.
- I do _____ because I love my body. Yoga, take bubble baths, get massages. Treat your body well by doing what you love.
- Fat is not a feeling. What are you really feeling? Uncomfortable? Frustrated? Name it honestly. What do you really need?
- Celebrate your fat. Take every opportunity to love your luscious, voluptuous, beautiful, fat-filled curves. Go wild!
- Find yourself in art. Remember that the standards of society change with time. Look at the curvy goddesses of art history (Like Venus)
- Dance. Put on your favorite music and move! Who cares what you look like? Let your body take over. Try it in public, at the mall or grocery store.
- You are not a victim of your body. Our bodies are our one true partners. We are in it together. Be compassionate.
- Be gentle with yourself. Eat when you're hungry. Rest when you're tired. Surround yourself with supportive people.
- Exercise with love. Make your body strong and healthy. Do what you do because you love and want to take care of your body.
- Every hallway is a runway. Make an entrance. Hold your head up high and take the room. You're a rock star.
- Fake it till you make it. Self-love does not happen overnight. It is an ongoing process. So, put on a positive attitude when you're down on yourself.

The Tenth Anniversary Edition of the New York Times bestselling book that has sold over half a million copies in paperback.
Listen to bestselling author Augusten Burroughs read from his memoir Dry. From the New York Times Bestselling author of Running With Scissors comes the story of one man trying to out-drink his memories, outlast his demons, and outrun his past. When the ordinary person had two drinks, Augusten had twelve; when the ordinary person went home at midnight, Augusten never went home at all.
"Laughter on the road to sobriety. Mr. Burroughs remains adept at mixing comedy and calamity."—Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Beneath the quick-flowing, funny-sad surface of Burroughs' prose lurks considerable complexity: wherever he goes, whatever he's doing, you can feel how badly he wants to drink-as well as the sadness from which that desire comes and the courage it takes to make the sadness so funny, all at the same time. If anything, Dry is even more compelling than Burroughs' first outing."—Lev Grossman, Time
"More than a heartbreaking tale, it's a heroic one. As with its predecessor, we finish the book amazed not only that Burroughs can write so brilliantly, but that he's even alive."—People
"A wrenching, edifying journey . . . with the added benefit of being really entertaining."—The New York Times Book Review
"A deeper book than Scissors, revealing Burroughs to be a more accomplished writer, creating scenes of real power."—Deirdre Donahue, USA Today
"Dry will make readers glad to have Augusten Burroughs in the world, and eager for more."—O Magazine
"Augusten Burroughs is a wickedly good writer.... Dry is a great read. Grade: A."—Chicago Sun-Times
"I haven't read anything this sharp, hip, or honest in my life. Count me as a lifelong fan of this courageous writer."—Elle
A Memoir
Augusten Burroughs

Loved it!! If you are a music lover, you can't help but enjoy the performance Lyle and his band put on. From the large band sound to the entergetic gospel type music to the acoustic numbers….he and his band are fantastic. I enjoyed the Tabernacle as a venue for him much better than Chastain as I think the more intimate setting plays to his personality!!

Is there a more worrying sight for an MLS defender these days than Erik Hurtado running at them?
That it's a plausible question speaks to Hurtado's skyrocket rise over the last month — a stunning change in fortune the second-year Whitecap has simply put down to opportunity.
In Portland on Sunday, in front of family and friends near his hometown of Beaverton, a determined Hurtado drew a penalty to start the visitors' goal-fest. Then he made a smart run to score the 3-1 goal in first-half injury time as the Caps hung on for a 4-3 win at Providence Park.
The goal was Hurtado's fourth in four games. The victory was the Caps' first over the Timbers in MLS and snapped Portland's 22-game MLS home unbeaten streak.
"He's been superb," Caps' coach Carl Robinson told reporters after another thrilling Cascadia clash. "His confidence levels are sky high at the moment, and his work rate is phenomenal.
"It's fitting that he's done that in front of his family. I was a little worried before the game that he had so many family here, and when you do that as a young player you [can]go away from the things that you're good at. He didn't do that."
Hurtado also played a terrific pass into Kekuta Manneh's path to start the play that drew the second penalty. And he had a foot in the buildup to the Caps' fourth goal, too.
"I thought his movement was excellent," said Robinson, who's given Hurtado, normally a right-winger, a run of starts up front since parting with forward Kenny Miller and losing Darren Mattocks to a hamstring pull.
Mattocks returned to action on Sunday as a substitute.
"He got his reward with a goal," added Robinson. "His hold-up play was excellent. So it was an all-around fantastic performance from Erik."
Hurtado's play has given the Caps a lift during this six-game unbeaten run.
It has also added another layer of intrigue to Camilo's possible return to Vancouver, something first reported by Caps' play-by-play man Peter Schaad and confirmed by the Province.
Villa commits to NYCFC
Playing in the Big Apple, and backed by Manchester City, New York City FC was always going to make a splashy entrance into MLS next season.
On Monday, fans found out just how big.
David Villa, the 32-year-old Spanish international forward, was confirmed as the club's first designated player.
After the World Cup, he'll arrive in New York on a free transfer from Atletico Madrid, the Spanish league champions and UEFA Champions League finalists.
Reports also broke Monday that longtime Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard is New York-bound after the World Cup.
Lampard, 35, and a three-time Premier League winner, has confirmed he's done with Chelsea after 13 seasons and 211 goals.
The MLS schedule format isn't expected to shift dramatically, so the Caps will likely face NYCFC once per season, alternating between home and away dates.
Caps' coach Carl Robinson is looking forward to the challenge.
"Fantastic player, fantastic signing," he wrote of Villa to the Province on Monday. "And, again, it shows the continued growth of the league.
"Lamps has always been on the MLS radar and I won't be surprised if he comes. He will be a big success as he's still a top-level player."
Villa, Spain's all-time goals leader with 56, said in a statement that he wants to help MLS continue to grow.
Closer to home, the Portland Timbers traded centre back Futty Danso to Montreal for a second-round pick.
It's a move that seems to add credence to Taylor Twellman's ESPN report that the Timbers are aggressively after Man City's Joleon Lescott. They've offered him more than $2 million per season, Twellman wrote.
Caps' defence getting attention
With the Caps snapping Portland's 22-game home unbeaten streak on the back of a convincing home tie against league leaders Seattle, there'll be a temptation to ask just how good this year's team is.
But despite those performances and a six-game unbeaten run, coach Carl Robinson says plenty of work remains. Mostly on preventing goals.
While most coaches come into a new job and lock down the defensive side of things first, Robinson has instead embraced his ample attacking talent as the foundation.
"I know we're a team that can score goals," he said. "What I've got to work on with this group is the defensive side and that will take time.
"The goals are great. I've said all along I'd like to win 4-3 rather than 1-0, but we've got to tighten up defensively because we were very comfortable in (Sunday's) game at 4-1."
Of allowing two late goals in a thrilling finish in Portland, Robinson said: "We weren't set correctly. We were spread out as a back four."
The Caps are middle of the pack in MLS with 17 goals allowed and two shutouts.

Remember when Jon Gruden was involved in that bizarre trade from the Oakland Raiders to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002? Well the man they call Chucky is doing it again when it come to the strange and usual. As of the moment, Gruden has an offer on the table to become the next head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, and if he does, he'll get something massive in return that goes well beyond a fat payday.
Should Gruden accept the head coaching job at Tennessee, new Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam (who's from Tennessee and is a huge Vols booster) is offering Gruden an ownership stake in the Browns.
Talk about sweetening the deal.
Gruden loves the NFL, and he's been itching to get back to coaching for a while now, but if he wasn't already going to return to the sidelines at the collegiate level, he's all but certain to now.
However, there seems to be a massive road block that could derail the master plan. Gruden was fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 before his contract expired, and he may still be owed money by the Glazers. The problem arises in that the NFL isn't sure it's legal within league rules for a person to coach a college team, get paid by that university and by an NFL franchise all while owning part of another one.
Here's another road block: the mafia known as the NCAA.
In order to comply with NCAA rules, the ownership stake in the Browns would have to be gifted to the University of Tennessee first before it can be given to Gruden. And again, the NCAA isn't fond of outside compensation, which would be the exact case if the Glazers were to pay Gruden money they still owe him.
Really the Glazers could just keep the money (which is going to be really hard to convince them to do), but there again is another question in that can an owner an a coach agree to not pay out termination pay if the coach doesn't want it?
This is just a bizarre scenario all around, but hey the Bucs won a Super Bowl as a result of the last crazy coaching scheme that involved Gruden. That could be an omen for not only the Vols but the Browns as well. Or this could just be a giant mess — you decide.

Open letter requesting an urgent meeting with Health Ministers
Urgent meeting request with Independent Midwives UK (IMUK), Daniel Poulter and Jeremy Hunt – re: PII for Independent Midwives
Following IMUK's meeting with David Foster on Friday 5th July, we write to request an urgent meeting with Dr Dan Poulter and Jeremy Hunt.
IMUK were pleased to present Mr Foster with an insurance proposal for self- employed midwives - the first affordable and workable insurance solution obtained in almost 20 years, and a solution to the crisis presenting to women in the UK who wish to use an independent (self-employed) midwife.
Our brokers are convinced that this insurance solution is workable and affordable for self-employed midwives. In order for it to be sustainable IMUK are asking the government for capital; this investment is significantly less than the cost (in both GBP and affects to the maternity system) of independent midwives not getting insurance; it will ensure the captive is always able to provide an adequate policy; it will provide the solution to the fast-approaching deadline. Supporting the IMUK captive will be an ideal way to meet Recommendation 20 of the Finlay Scott review. Mr Foster advised us this decision would need to be a ministerial one.
Mr Foster was concerned that it would set a precedent for the government to insure other health care professionals, however, we reminded him that midwives are the only professional unable to obtain insurance from the commercial market, through no fault of our own. We also reminded him that the government have supported a captive structure in the buildings area. We are concerned about the level of knowledge the officials have surrounding the issue of independent midwives as we have seen and heard many inaccuracies; this is another reason why we urgently need to meet to explain details directly with you.
Mr Foster was quite clear there would be penalties for practicing after October 25th without insurance, despite the Minister's assurance to "continue booking clients". We have pregnant women, midwives and an experienced, respected lawyer, who feel so strongly about this issue that they are asking to take their case to the European Court of Human Rights. Obviously, we do not want to be in the position of Hungary (when they lost against Ternovsky) and Ireland, which is currently going through the courts for refusing women homebirth services. We are proud of the British midwifery system and it's high standards and long for it to continue in this way. Supporting this solution would mean women's rights are being upheld and respected in Britain.
IMUK urgently request a meeting before ministerial annual leave: September is too late to get everything in place for the October deadline. We need to discuss the insurance policy, the capital needed to make it workable, how that capital may be obtained and implemented, how women's basic human right to choose their midwife can be met and how this can be implemented before Oct. We remind our honourable colleagues that David Cameron himself argued "it would be utterly foolish to lose independent midwives". We have found a workable, affordable solution that with the correct capital can be running within weeks so are requesting your assistance.
Yours Sincerely the IMUK Board, Jacqui Tomkins, Erika Thompson, Virginia Howes, Amanda Garside, Angela Horler, Meg Miskin, Sam O Brien, Alan Parsons tel. 07828719278, email@example.com
Background Information
From October this year, if self-employed midwives have not secured PII they will be unable to practice: We believe if women are unable to have the choice to use an Independent Midwife, that this will have catastrophic effect on the UK maternity system and women's human rights.
• The NHS will have to absorb independent clients into the system costing approx. £13 million
• Women wishing to birth outside of the NHS will birth unattended (the majority of which we know do have risk factors)
• Women will seek illegal, unregulated and unqualified birth attendants, the result of which we know from other countries has devastating affect to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
• Women will lose the right to choose their midwife and the standard of their maternity care independently of the NHS.
• Women who are traumatised by birth previously in the NHS will continue with this trauma. We know post-traumatic stress is rising post childbirth
• The NHS will continue to be stretched and under staffed.
• Midwives will be out of business, having a further impact on other areas of the economy
• Skills and experience in maternity care will be lost instantly
• Women will fight for their birthing rights through the courts
• The UK will take a backwards step in maternity standards
• The government will not fulfil their role in Recommendation 20 of the Finley Scott review.
If insurance is found
• The NHS will continue to save £13 million a year
• Around 5000 already qualified midwives will be able to choose self-employed practice.
• 90% of the 5000 midwives who are not working because they cannot secure employment, due to budget cuts, are burnt out or are disillusioned with a system in which they cannot give adequate care said they would work self-employed with insurance.
• If just 2000 of these (who have already expressed an interest) do this the NHS could save up to £200 million a year
• Newly qualified midwives who are unable to secure employment (currently 20%) will have the option to be self employed
• Women retain a choice of maternity care just as there is in any other aspect of health care
• Women will have a safe, affordable alternative to the NHS
• Women will continue to benefit from the high normal birth rates and low instrumental and caesarean rates independent midwives provide, the benefits of which are massive for women and the future of the babies.
• If independent midwives are commissioned by the CCG's the government will meet maternity matters targets (independent midwives currently meet and exceed all targets)
• NHS will continue to have support from independent midwives when staffing is low, or they need the midwifery skills independent midwives have retained
• The UK will continue to have a safe regulated, highly qualified midwifery standard.
• The government will uphold their promise of choice for their constituents.

Suspect in burglary sought by Island County sheriff
Island County Sheriff Mark Brown is asking for the community's help in locating a man suspected in a South Whidbey burglary.
Robert Dean Burns, 25, is a fugitive from justice and is wanted on warrants out of Island County, Oak Harbor and Renton, Brown said.
The Island County warrant is for third-degree theft.
Burns is also a suspect in a felony burglary case in the Scatchet Head neighborhood of South Whidbey, according to Brown. That burglary involved the theft of firearms.
"The community is really upset about this," Brown said.
Burns was living in the Scatchet Head neighborhood, the sheriff said.
Burns is described as 6-feet tall and skinny with brown hair.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call 9-1-1.

Solar power companies and environmentalists are urging California regulators to overhaul a renewable energy feed-in tariff (FIT) power purchase agreement form that the state's major investor-owned utilities (IOUs) are proposing, arguing the current plan likely will block several smaller solar projects from winning contracts.
FITs require utilities to buy renewable energy at above-market prices for fixed periods under contracts approved by CPUC. The tariffs are intended to create incentives for installing more renewable energy systems by making them more economically appealing to potential adopters of the technologies.
The California FIT program aims to help the state meet Gov. Jerry Brown's (D) goal of establishing 12,000 megawatts (MW) of distributed renewable power by the end of 2020. How the state resolves issues with the program is key, because it is considered a possible model for other states seeking to ramp up clean power generation to lower reliance on fossil fuels and to meet renewable portfolio standards (RPS) like California's RPS.
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is pursuing an RPS rulemaking to implement an expansion of the state's FIT program for renewable resources up to 3 MW in size. The state's three IOUs -- Pacific Gas & Electric Co., Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric -- will be subject to the new FIT, and must collectively sign contracts totaling at least 750 MW in the coming years.
The expanded program, required by the 2009 law SB 32 and the 2012 law SB 1122, primarily aims to enable the development and approval of small bioenergy, solar, wind and biomass projects that can connect directly to utilities' distribution systems. These include, for example, medium-size solar projects atop warehouse roofs.
CPUC is trying to finalize a "standard form contract" power purchase agreement (PPA) for the FIT program that the utilities must use. But the solar industry and renewable power advocates are criticizing the latest proposals from the utilities and seeking a number of significant changes.
For example, the Clean Coalition, a non-profit group that is backed in part by renewable power companies and advocates for strong FIT programs across the country, argues that "the utilities' proposed PPA and tariffs is a massive increase in complexity and burden when compared with the existing" program, according to Sept. 10 reply comments filed with CPUC. "In other words, the utilities' are seeking to go in exactly the opposite direction that SB 32 requires - and to an extreme degree."
The group says the utilities' PPA is five times as long and complex as the program's existing PPA, and is proposing a substitute PPA and contract for CPUC consideration. Supporting the Clean Coalition and echoing its concerns are the California Solar Energy Industries Association (CALSEIA), Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Sierra Club California.
For example, SEIA in Sept. 11 comments to CPUC argues that a requirement in the IOUs' proposed contract that a renewable power developer demonstrate in a bid that it has completed at least one project of similar technology and capacity and that this completed project be no more than 1 MW smaller than the new project being sought is unfair and should be rejected. "For example for a 3 MW project, a project of similar capacity cannot be smaller than 2 MW," according to at least one of the utility's interpretation of the contract, SEIA writes. This should be rejected by CPUC because "if a developer has completed another project within that size range then he should meet this viability criterion for the [new] program."
Telemetry Requriements
In addition, CALSEIA in Aug. 29 reply comments to CPUC argues that telemetry requirements placed on project applicants under the IOUs' proposed contract are excessive. Telemetry generally refers to technology used by utilities and power companies to monitor system operations from specialized meters and transformers that can send data over the power lines or via radio links, according to documents.
"The telemetry requirements are some of the most onerous contained within the contract," CALSEIA states. "The costs of ongoing telemetry alone could make smaller projects uneconomic. As such, CALSEIA agrees with the Clean Coalition that for projects 1 MW or smaller the buyer should assume telemetry costs should telemetry be required."
The Sierra Club echoes the comments by Clean Coalition, SEIA and CALSEIA in its own Sept. 10 comments to CPUC.
The groups are supporting the Clean Coalition's alternative contract proposal. This model PPA "provides a simplified contract based on previously used, workable contracts," CALSEIA states. It also provides "reasonable requirements in recognition of the market realities of smaller generation projects, especially those under 1 MW. We urge the commission to significantly modify [the contract] as highlighted in previous comments and redlines or to reject said contract and instead use the model PPA as proposed by Clean Coalition."
And the Sierra Club adds that the Clean Coalition plan would help projects under 1 MW win utility contracts. "Sierra Club California believes that these projects amount to valuable resources to the generation and distribution grid, but that they are in a disadvantaged position entering into traditional RPS procurement due to the high transaction costs proportionate to the smaller project size," the organization states in its reply comments to CPUC.

Just love these posts. Please keep them coming. Always learn something new I can use--thank you!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for the slideshow option! Is this new? I usually HATE these kinds of posts because it's like working an acrostic: "Let's see, this link matches up with this picture ... "
By the way, I find myself cooking every night with a recipe or tip from The Kitchn. Keep up the great work! I've even got onions growing on my window sill right now! You can clip 'em and they keep on growing. Fabulous!
Tonight's menu: Spaghetti Squash Carbonera. Can't wait to try it!
bless you. i cannot for the life of me cook bacon (im so ashamed) and i have to do it solo tonight, since im the only one home. ill try the water method :)
I have been using the frozen herbs in olive oil technique since I first saw it here @ the kitchn. I recently step into it again @Jamie Oliver's new cookbook (Save with Jamie) and I decided to also share it in my blog cookit-simple.blogspot.pt, with the right credits of course :) This tip has been one of my tools against wasting food. Thanks.
Love the herbs in olive oil. I've done a sweet version by freezing herbs in butter and sugar. Just tossed a handful of herbs, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup chilled butter into the food processor and pulsed until the herbs were finely chopped, then packed the mixture in a jar or plastic bag and froze — just remember to write down what herb, and how much butter & sugar!
So far it's worked fine in any cookie or cake recipe that starts with blending butter & sugar together. Just let the frozen mixture thaw, and mix in any additional butter or sugar you need to make up the total for the recipe. So far, my favorite's been lemon verbena-infused shortbread cookies.
THANK YOU. great tips… MORE, please.

Bring a post in from another blog
I can't seem to find a way to bring a post in from one of my WordPress mu blogs to feature in the main blog.
If the point of buddy press is to be a collection of blogs around a similar theme, it makes sense that every now and then you might want to pull a blog article from one of the peripheral blogs and make it a main blog article.
Is there a way to do this?
Is anyone working on a way to do this?
The site wide featured blog kind of does it, but I don't want just a little blog relegated to a sidebar widget, I want it to appear like the main blog.

Lung Disease & Respiratory Health Center
Pulmonary Embolism - Other Treatment
Some people cannot take anticoagulant medicines, or they continue to develop blood clots despite taking the medicines. If surgery or medicines are not options, other methods of preventing pulmonary embolism may be considered, such as a vena cava filter.
Other treatment choices
A vena cava filter may be inserted in the large central vein that passes through the abdomen and returns blood from the body to the heart (vena cava). This filter can prevent blood clots in the leg or pelvic veins from traveling to the lungs and heart. These filters may be permanent or removable.
What to think about
Vena cava filters aren't typically recommended as the first treatment for pulmonary embolism. But they may be considered if you:
- Continue to have pulmonary embolism despite taking anticoagulant medicine.
- Cannot take anticoagulants because of bleeding risk.
- Have an increased risk of death or a severely restricted lifestyle should another pulmonary embolism occur.
Vena cava filters may benefit people who have had a clot removed (embolectomy), or if another pulmonary embolism would likely be fatal or severely limit a person's lifestyle.
Vena cava filters can cause serious health problems if they break or become blocked with one or more blood clots.
Vena cava filters have not been shown to lower the death rate in people with pulmonary embolism.3

Carrying a balance won't improve your credit score
Some lenders would like you to think that not paying off your balance each month is better for your credit rating.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
I'm one of the moderators of the personal finance sub-reddit at Reddit.com, which routinely sees plenty of credit score-related questions. This recent one made my blood boil: User "wooga" told me his lender advised him to carry a balance to improve his score. Wooga said:
I was told by the lender that if I paid down to 1/3 of my balance that it would improve my score by 100 points in a few months, more than it would to keep a zero balance (or pay off each month) which is what I normally do. I didn't believe it. …
I'm glad he didn't because it's flat-out wrong.
Lenders would like you to believe that your credit score improves when you pay interest, but it's simply not true. Credit cards report your balance when your statement closes. They report it again when the next statement closes. These are snapshots in time with no information about what happens between those two moments. The reports are the same whether you carry a balance or pay off the balance in full, so carrying a balance does not improve your score. Post continues after video.
It's important to remember that the FICO credit score is designed to calculate the likelihood you will default on a loan. Whether or not you carry a balance is not any better an indicator than your balance at statement's close. If you charge $500, pay off $500, and then charge $500, you are no riskier than someone who charges $500, pays the minimum plus interest, and carries the $500 forward.
Don't carry a balance if you can avoid it and certainly don't do it because you think it'll improve your credit score.

There's a hole in the driveway, dear Lisa, dear Lisa...
September 10, 2012
Who should I be contacting to fix this sinkhole?
This summer, I discovered a smallish sinkhole that developed right at the corner where my driveway meets the garage and the front sidewalk. Pictures
As far as I can tell, the hole is about 2 feet deep - the foundation of the garage prevents it from going too far back under the garage itself. It doesn't appear to have grown since I discovered it, but it has been very dry here the last couple of months.
I will be correcting what I believe to be the source of the hole by installing gutters on the house - I'm pretty sure there was excess water pooling around and wrapping in front of the small garden seen in the first pic which was the source of this washout.
The question is, I'm not sure who I should be calling to fix this? Or could I even fix it myself? The driveway needs to be repaired in this spot but driveway repair guys don't deal much with structural foundations, and vice versa. Any advice would he helpful, bonus points for specific recommendations in the northern Twin Cities suburbs. I want to get this fixed before winter. Other recommendations or ideas on what to do, how it happened, and how to prevent more are also welcome.
Potentially relevant details:
- House was new 10 years ago in a new neighborhood that was previously cropland. I'm the original owner and have not noticed any other issues, only the usual small basement and garage floor cracks. (This
normal as the new house settles, right?)
- Soil content here is mostly slightly sandy clay.
- We are not too far from, but definitely above, the water table. There is a pond 200 feet behind the house with a maximum elevation of maybe 20 feet below the house.
- We do have a sump pump that runs only when it rains hard (presumably due to the lack of gutters).
Thanks in advance!

It's odd and could be the result of critters burrowing under your garage. You may check with the pest control people first. If it seems to get bigger after rain events then there is probably a failing underground drain line there. Its hard to tell in the last picture if that is what is down there. Without knowing the topography of your yard, it is hard to determine if there is a water issue causing the sinkhole.
The other question is how has it developed over time? Did it suddenly appear or has it slowly appeared over those ten years? Does the rainy season cause it to increase in size? If it is a slowly appearing hole and there is no underground drain there then you could have a mudjacker come in and fill it with grout.

I would say this is a drainage problem. The pavement around the hole is kinda swelled up and cracking in a fairly classic subgrade failure. The subgrade is the actual dirt the structure is built on. Subgrade failure is almost always the result of water infiltration, either from ground water or from a improperly sealed surface. My guess is the construction joint between the pavement and the garage slab was not installed or done improperly and with the standing water from the lack of gutters you got infiltration and the subgrade wasn't compacted enough and with the load from the structure on it and the water it has know compacted/washed away and you have a sinkhole.
The first thing to do is fix the drainage so NO water pools here or runs across this area. If the driveway slopes so water runs to this area or the gutter discharges here or anything that directs water here nothing you do will fix this problem for more than a short time. If you keep the water away a cheap DIY fix might solve all your problems, so address drainage first.
As to the cracking, small random direction hairline cracks are fine. If you have a set of radial/bullseye cracks around this point you have a foundation issue and you need to fix that ASAP by a professional. If you aren't sure, get a pro out to look at it and give you advice. Maybe pay a structural engineer a couple of hundred to come look at it and give you on the spot advice about both the cracking and the drainage issue/subgrade failure. On site visits from a pro are usually worth it.
The right way to fix this is to sawcut the pavement back a few inches beyond the cracking/heaving then jackhammer out the pavement between the sawcut and the concrete slab. This will expose the failure and let you know better the extent of the damage. Then get a product called controlled density fill (or non shrink grout) which is just a really runny concrete without aggregate (small rocks) pumped in to fill the hole. After this hardens (usually about a day) you then install the proper construction joint and repave with asphalt or better yet concrete. This will be pretty pricey but you will end up with a final product better than the initial construction.
For the DIY approach you can just dump home mixed non shrink grout (you can mix it just like any other kind of mortar in bucket at home) and pour it in the hole until it stops accepting any more than try to pry out the cracked pavement areas as much as you can until you hit solid pavement( you can actually do the pry out first) and put in a cold patch asphalt material and compact it good (do not skip this-rent the right equipment from you local construction rental business) or if you have any talent with concrete finishing use a bag or two of quikcrete (properly mixed-water content is critical) to patch the top of the hole. This will hold for a while (years) as long as you fix the drainage issues so water doesn't pool here or get much rainfall.

Thanks for the answers so far.
It's very possible the hole itself has existed for some time, and only recently did the asphalt over it weaken enough to start falling in. I did notice over the last year or two this exact spot having kind of a sunken quality that, at the time, I attributed simply to settling, and figured some new asphalt overlay and a little mudjacking on the sidewalk would bring things back to level. I would guess it was about two weeks to go from from 'the corner there looks really sunken today' to looking like it looks now, 2-3 months later, and this was during a particularly wet period earlier in the summer, so I'm pretty certain this is a drainage issue (hence the gutters I'll be installing).
From overseeing the construction, I'm remembering the water and sewer lines being more off to one side of the house. Additionally, given the construction I would expect those lines to be located a good 8-10 feet beneath this surface point. Which isn't to say they're not the issue, I just would have thought such a problem would have manifested itself in a much larger way, and it doesn't seem to be growing in the absence of rain around here lately.

The critter theory is interesting; our neighbors did have a gopher problem this spring that started to spill into our lawn, but all of the gopher holes were on a different side of the house, the nearest being a good 30-40 feet from this spot.
Would a driveway firm be able to accomplish all of this work? I need work done anyway on other areas - due for sealcoat, and the guy who quoted my gutter work recommended I consider replacing the first foot or two of the driveway next to the house with a concrete apron - and it would be great if this could all be done at once.

Call Digger or Julie or whoever does utility locates and make sure there are no buried utilities near there. It would be a whole different problem if the hole was caused by a leak in something like that.
Who I would call would be one of those basement sealer places. They are skilled at digging up around foundations, fixing shit, and then filling it back in correctly. Even though it looks minor, you'd hate to just fill it in with Sackrete and later find out the whole corner of your garage is cantilevered over an empty hole.
Or look for companies who do mud jacking. This is where they drill a hole in the floor, jam a hose into it and pump a mud/grout sort of mixture into the ground, to raise and level concrete slabs. They probably have some kind of inspection process to see whether there are any voids under the slab or the sidewalk.

That section of your asphalt driveway doesn't get driven over or walked on so it is likely that it was an older problem that finally became visible.
Asphalt driveway people may or may not be able to handle filling the hole. Although you could fill it yourself as bartonlong suggests, I would actually opt for putting grout in the hole under pressure so that it can fill more extensive cavities, if required. Mudjacking companies can do this easily and quickly. Gophers will be quickly encased in grout for future generations to enjoy if they are the culprit.
Before you do that, make damn sure that there isn't an issue with your sewer lateral or you will have very expensive problems. You can hire a plumber to do a sewer lateral inspection by video if the laterals run nearby. They aren't cheap but will be cheaper than having to dig up a lateral full of grout. Laterals do fail, especially if they were put in poorly. If it is more than ten feet away from this corner of the garage then it probably isn't likely that it is an issue.

The Perils of Pitchfork
For n+1, Richard Beck dissects Pitchfork, indie music, and the culture that surrounds them.
In Sufjan Stevens, indie adopted precious, pastoral nationalism at the Bush Administration's exact midpoint. In M.I.A., indie rock celebrated a musician whose greatest accomplishment has been to turn the world's various catastrophes into remixed pop songs. This is a kind of music, in other words, that's very good at avoiding uncomfortable conversations. Pitchfork has imitated, inspired, and encouraged indie rock in this respect. It has incorporated a perfect awareness of cultural capital into its basic architecture. A Pitchfork review may ignore history, aesthetics, or the basic technical aspects of tonal music, but it will almost never fail to include a detailed taxonomy of the current hype cycle and media environment. This is a small, petty way of thinking about a large art, and as indie bands have both absorbed and refined the culture's obsession with who is over- and underhyped, their musical ambitions have been winnowed down to almost nothing at all.
It's usually a waste of time to close-read rock lyrics; a lot of great rock musicians just aren't that good with words. What you can do with a rock lyric, though, is note the kinds of phrasing that come to mind when a musician is trying to fill a particular rhythmic space with words. You can see what kind of language comes naturally, and some of the habits and beliefs that the language reveals. This makes it worth pausing, just for a moment, over Animal Collective's most famous lyric: "I don't mean to seem like I care about material things." The ethical lyric to sing would be, "I don't want to be someone who cares about material things," but in indie rock today the worst thing would be just to seem like a materialistic person. You can learn a lot about indie rock, its fans, and Pitchfork from the words "mean to seem like."
There is no taste. There is only Pitchfork.
Listen to "Senator", the first track released from Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks' upcoming Beck-produced album, Mirror Traffic. It features the quasi-topical hook: "I know what the senator wants/ What the senator wants is a blow job."

Egyptian Spice Mix: Dukkah
Dukkah, an Egyptian spice blend of toasted nuts and seeds, has become a international favorite over the past few years, thanks to its popularity first in Australian restaurants and then among home cooks and food blogs. The warm, aromatic mixture is addictive when served as a dip with bread and olive oil. We've also been sprinkling it on everything else lately – roasted vegetables, pasta, feta cheese, and even peaches.
Dukkah (pronounced DOO-kah) may be purchased in some gourmet and ethnic markets, but it's easy to make at home. Freshly toasted nuts and seeds also taste better, and it can be fun to experiment with different ingredients.
There are countless recipes for dukkah. Just about every mixture includes nuts (most often hazelnuts, but various other kinds may be used alone or in combination), sesame seeds, coriander, and cumin. To this, a cook might add dried thyme, mint, peppercorns, or various other sweet, hot, and savory herbs and spices. We have included a basic recipe to get you started and then encourage you to play with ingredients and proportions depending on your personal preference and intended use.
In addition to the uses we mentioned above, dukkah is often used as a crust for lamb, chicken, and fish. Tofu is another possibility. Let us know if you have any other suggestions!
Basic Ingredients
• Nuts – hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, cashews, pine nuts, macadamia nuts
• Sesame seeds
• Coriander
• Cumin
Optional Additions
• Dried chickpeas
• Dried herbs – marjoram, mint, thyme
• Dried lemon zest
• Hot pepper – red pepper flakes, chili powder
• Pepper – freshly ground or whole peppercorns
• Salt
• Seeds – caraway, fennel, nigella
• Spices – baharat, cinnamon, clove, turmeric
• Sugar
Dukkah (Basic Recipe)
1 cup nuts
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup coriander seeds
1/4 cup cumin seeds
1 teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Toast nuts and seeds in separate batches. (See How to Toast Nuts and Boost Flavor by Toasting Spice.) Let cool completely.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse. The mixture may fine or coarse, depending on personal preference, but be sure it is dry and crumbly. Over-mixing will turn it into a paste. (Can also use a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.)
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

I love dukkah. Ana Sortun's (of the Boston restaurant Oleana) cookbook, Spice, includes a recipe for dukkah with carrot dip (original recipe here: http://www.spicelines.com/2006/06/ana_sortun_gives_the_lowly_car.htm). I once looked at the recipe, but now I just make it up as I go for a fun, quick, and cheap appetizer. I just steam carrots and throw them in the food processor with lots of olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper, fresh ginger, cumin and corainder seeds. Then you can either blend some dukkah in, or sprinkle it on top of the carrot dip and serve with pita.
Ah! I just made dukka! See?
I found it very earthy and deeply-flavored. I thought it was just wonderful, but have been won over completely by an Ethiopian spice blend, called berberé (recipe here: http://www.abreadaday.com/?p=1271 ). I love new spice blends!
I just had some Dukka last night for the first time at a dinner party, and it was so delicious I had to look up a recipe. It has such great flavors!
I sprinkle some on salads for a bit of crunch, especially good in potato & pasta salads. You can also dip really good crusty bread into really good olive oil and then into the dukkah and munch on that as a snack.
