Edgartown, MA
Products Used: SMS Broadcast
When it comes to alerting residents of an entire town, nothing works faster, and has more power than text message alerts. Edgartown, a city located on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts with a population of 4,000 year-round residents, experienced this firsthand as Hurricane Irene moved up the East Coast.
Overnight the town's SMS alert system powered by Tatango tripled their subscribers, making it a clear indicator for the city that residents preferred to be communicated to via text message in emergency situations such as this. During more regular seasons, the city uses the Tatango SMS alerts system to communicate with residents about community events, meetings and the occasional weather advisory.
"We rarely hear feedback about these things, but people thanked us for notifying them via Tatango during the recent hurricane. Thanks for providing such a great service." - Adam Darack, IT Manager Town of Edgartown
When it comes to emergency text message alerts, having a company like Tatango with over 5 years of helping small and large cities send out text message alerts is critical to your residents' safety.
New Orleans, LA
Products Used: SMS Broadcast
With New Orleans experiencing higher than ever violence and crime, the good citizens that make up the communities of New Orleans decided to take action into their own hands. In response, they created a system called NOLA (New Orleans, LA) Crime Alerts, powered by Tatango text message alerts.
A total of 25 New Orleans neighborhoods utilized Tatango's text message alerts service to keep community members updated on incidents, areas to avoid and criminal whereabouts. In addition, weekly blog updates from the group were sent via SMS to all participating neighborhood residents who had signed up for the text message alerts.
Whether you're protecting a small neighborhood or large city, let Tatango text message alerts increase safety, communication and involvement with your residents.
Blaine, WA
Products Used: SMS Broadcast
When the North Whatcom Fire Department came to Tatango, they were communicating with their fire fighters through an outdated and very expensive pager system. After realizing all fire fighters now had access to mobile phones, the department went looking for an affordable and effective text messaging system to replace their expensive pager system.
After implementing Tatango text message alerts to request addition personnel to emergencies like a fire, aid call or big accident, the department was finally able to replace their pager system.
"Tatango was thousands of dollars cheaper than other companies. Any questions we had were always answered, not only the same day, but by a real person." - Chris Hollander, North Whatcom Fire Department
The fire department also uses Tatango text message alerts for far less serious communication needs such as alerting fire fighters of meeting changes, training and general announcements.
When it comes to a fire department's communications, speed is everything. Luckily for hundreds of fire departments across the country, Tatango has the text messaging software and expertise needed to produce lightning fast text messages for any type of emergency personnel communications.

This boy at Target asked if I would hold his hand because his ex girlfriend just walked in with a new guy, so naturally I felt bad and held his hand while strolling around Target for a bit. Then it donned on me, with no other couple in sight, that was the best damn pick up line ever pulled.

"I've noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren't determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they're satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world."

Benchtop biofuels: Fine-tuning growth conditions helps cyanobacteria flourishTags: arizona state university, biodesign institute, biofuels
[Source: ScienceDaily] - Cyanobacteria are among the oldest living forms in nature, responsible for generating the atmospheric oxygen we breathe today. Now Hyun Woo Kim and Raveender Vannela, researchers at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University are perfecting the means to culture these microbes -- a potentially rich source of biofuels and biomaterials -- in significantly greater abundance.
The work provides a vital foundation for optimizing a device known as a photobioreactor (PBR), in which these energy-packed photosynthetic organisms proliferate.

The First of Many Voices of Linux
This share is from a collection of comments gathered by Jeremy Andrews (thanks Jeremy) in a post on kernel trap back in 2002, Linux: Linus Says, Linux Not Designed; It Never Was. In it he goes over how Linus Torvalds views technological design versus evolutionary engineering.
This was one of my favorite posts early on (from Linus), but I highly recommend reading the entire series:
You know what the most complex piece of engineering known to man in the whole solar system is?
Guess what – it's not Linux, it's not Solaris, and it's not your car.
It's you. And me.
And think about how you and me actually came about – not through any complex design.
Right. "sheer luck".
Well, sheer luck, AND:
– free availability and _crosspollination_ through sharing of "source code", although biologists call it DNA.
– a rather unforgiving user environment, that happily replaces bad versions of us with better working versions and thus culls the herd
(biologists often call this "survival of the fittest")
– massive undirected parallel development ("trial and error")
I'm deadly serious: we humans have _never_ been able to replicate something more complicated than what we ourselves are, yet natural selection did it without even thinking.
Don't underestimate the power of survival of the fittest.
And don't EVER make the mistake that you can design something better than what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback cycle. That's giving your intelligence _much_ too much credit.
Quite frankly, Sun is doomed. And it has nothing to do with their engineering practices or their coding style.

The 5 best Italian restaurants in York
So it's that time of year again, I'm told, when couples enjoy romance and have a meal together. And though the world is modern, and people don't feel obliged to follow traditions, I'm told that many or most couples still enjoy romantic meals together for Valentine's Day. Whilst I am of the opinion that a home-cooked meal is more romantic, others disagree - but who would disagree that Italian restaurants are more romantic than Indian or Chinese restaurants*?
*French restaurants are romantic but terrible.
So allow me to discuss five of the best Italian restaurants - ranked by price - in York, and explain when best to use them - though they might be a little booked at this time of year.
Bella Italia
As said above, these are ranked by price - and you can't say "let's have a cheap Valentine meal" like going a day early just to enjoy the 50% student discount. The prices are great for what they are, I've never had a bad meal there and finishing the meal off with the £8 sharer Godfather dessert is possibly the only time I'd spend more than £4 for pudding.
What it says to your date: I wanted to be romantic but a) don't like the corporatism of overcharging restaurants or b) don't value our relationship very much. It's a thin line.
Better than: Strada. The restaurant, owned by the same company (Tragus) and five doors down the road, is pretty nice - and I still go there on occasion - but even with the 20% student discount for non-Mondays, you're paying more for exactly the same thing.
La Vecchia Scuola
Despite the dubious ramblings of my colleague, I have more than just a soft place in my heart for La Vecchia Scuola. Very few establishments try to market themselves at both ends of the spectrum, but Scuola manages it. Their website allows you to view the flash intro or not, and that sums up the place: if you ever splash out on one of their £7 starters or £17 chef specialities, I'm sure you'll be amazed - but some main courses are below £7 every day with their specials, and they're almost as good as the expensive stuff.
What it says to your date: This completely depends on which menu you both choose from. If you both feel forced to go with cheap options, it won't be amazing.
Better than: Mamma Mia. The local York restaurant is perfectly fine, and has great online reviews across the board, but fails to offer the breadth of food quality and price that makes Scuola stand out.
Sat on Lendal, the restaurant gets a lot less attention than rivals Bella Italia and Pizza Hut, but has the same quality of food. A margherita pizza is seven quid but I'd recommend stretching upwards for the £11 rustica 'bufala' pizza. It is easily the best pizza that I have bought from a restaurant chain and could be split between two without any fuss.
What it says to your date: Steady and reliable, good value for money, and not too shabby - but not amazing. Much more suitable for a different time of the year.
Better than: Pizza Express, also owned by 'Gondola', sits just around the corner. The building is beautiful, but the restaurant is named after a type of food that is cheaper and better one of its own other restaurants. Shabby in comparison.
Little Italy
When I came to York as a teenager in 2002, ten years ago, we dropped in on a café on the very edge of the city and I had a home-made pizza so amazing that I remember the occasion a decade later. As good as those that I ate in Rome, but on the edge of York. Sadly, they didn't do pizzas any more, but this little place - next to the city walls on Micklegate, is a great place to get excellent pasta for under a tenner. Local, reliable and impeccable.
What it says to your date: I know York, I know food and I know what's good. The best option on the list and it would take a rare set of circumstances to have bad food there.
Better than: Caesar's, further up on Goodramgate, is a more noticeable and publicised restaurant - but, even with minutely cheaper food prices, it simply doesn't match up to the quality of cooking at Little Italy.
I know what you're thinking. Jason, didn't you just say that the last one was the best option on the list? Yes, I did, and for this one simple reason: Piccolino is too expensive. It's a posh place, with a good reputation, and is a notch above the requirements for a decent student date venue. If you try to impress your boy/girlfriend by throwing money, this is the place to do it. I've seen a few students go here for a social, but I personally think it's not worth the money unless you think that your partner can be bribed into liking you more.
What it says to your date: Look at me! I don't care about money! £20 for a ribeye steak? Why, of course! £7.50 for an egg and some asparagus? A bargain! Wheee!
Better than: Ask. I'd tell you the tale of Silvanos, a restaurant that sold great food but eventually crumbled and still charged £15-20, but they were replaced by "Caesars at Silvanos" and eventually became an Italian. Instead I'll simply say that Ask wish they were Piccolino, but are actually much more like Pizza Express, who coincidentally sell the same food from the same company for a lower price.
Disclaimer: I've also been told that Totos is great, but I haven't been there. It's the only place on my list of Italian "want to visit" restaurants, and I'm certain would make the list otherwise. Similarly, and contrarily, I am yet to visit Prezzo and hear (and suspect) that it's pretty terrible.

By bellicon, March 14, 2014
Yes. If you have any specific medical concerns, always consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise routine, including bouncing on the bellicon. If you have back pain or a bad disk, we recommend using the bungees that correspond to your weight class to give you the softest, most gentle bounce. Also, if you have bad knees or bad joints the softer bounce will feel better on your body. If you suffer from osteoporosis then a firmer bounce is better. Using the bellicon can help to increase bone density and reverse osteopenia. A firmer bounce is also better if you have a problem with over-pronation of your ankles. For a firmer bounce you should use bungees that are at least one weight class above your own.

Maximize Your Reimbursement: A Guide To Billing In Diabetic Care
- Volume 16 - Issue 3 - March 2003
- 26491 reads
- 0 comments
The Ins And Outs Of Coding For Routine Care
Each Medicare carrier may interpret the Medicare regulations differently that allow for periodic nail and callus care for patients with diabetes. The policies of private carriers may resemble the basic Medicare policy but with their own modifications.
Keep in mind that the mere fact a patient is diabetic does not automatically qualify the patient for coverage. Generally, the patient must have a neurologic or vascular complicating component to allow coverage for payment. For this reason, do not use ICD-9 codes such as 250.00 on your claim form. Instead, you should use 250.6X and 250.7X ICD-9 codes that are much more specific and can help validate the medical necessity of the services you rendered.
Medicare does not cover routine foot care. The risk factors create the basis for coverage. Given this, some carriers' requirements vary and may require that you list the risk factor as the primary diagnosis (or the secondary diagnosis in some cases) when you submit your claim.
You may not bill an additional E/M service when rendering routine foot care services simply to attest to the fact that the patient continues to be an at-risk and/or a diabetic patient. It would be reasonable to bill an E/M service during a covered routine foot care visit if there was a significant change in the patient's medical status, or possibly on a yearly basis if the situation warranted it.
When Longer Treatment Courses And Additional Services Are Necessary
Diabetic patients may require longer treatment courses and additional services. As stated earlier, the medical necessity for each service should be documented clearly in the chart. We often get into a routine in which we see patients back in the office on a weekly basis. The chart note should indicate the reason for each visit, clinical findings as well as addressing whatever comorbidities the patient may have. This is not only a good idea from a billing perspective and chart documentation but also from a medical/legal perspective.
If you see a patient for many weeks and there is no significant improvement in his or her condition, make sure there is appropriate documentation in the chart acknowledging this fact and also document any consideration of possible changes in the treatment plan. Getting a consult from a vascular surgeon, wound care expert, infectious disease specialist or even another podiatrist may be in order. You should consider obtaining additional diagnostic testing such as MRI or additional X-rays to rule out possible osteomyelitis and document this in the chart as well.
What About Documenting Neurovascular Compromise, Painful Lesions And Home Calls?
Medicare has posted very specific guidelines for what it deems to constitute vascular insufficiency for the patient. You may or may not be required to add a Q7-Q8-Q9 modifier to procedure codes when billing, depending on your carrier's policy.
There are no specific guidelines posted for what constitutes "neuropathy" in the Medicare system. Medicare has created the new Loss of Protective Sensation (LOPS) policy. Unfortunately, the policy is very confusing and some carriers have yet to fully adopt and implement it. Check with your carrier regarding proper utilization and billing protocols in your area. However, this policy does indicate that Medicare considers LOPS as diagnosed with a 5.07 monofilament, using guidelines recommended by the APMA and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Some Medicare carriers have specific allowances for coverage for painful nails and calluses. For the diabetic patient, there may be times when part of the services you render on one given day may fall under the routine care guidelines and the other services fall under coverage guidelines for painful lesions. Each type of coverage will have its specific billing protocols so it is important to bill (and chart) accordingly.
While Medicare allows home calls, be aware that a patient having diabetes does not warrant automatic coverage for home calls. The patient must fit into your carrier's guidelines for who they deem to be "housebound" in order to qualify for in-home services.

Standing adjacent to the line of scrimmage, Ravens defensive line coach Clarence Brooks' vantage point gives him a unique perspective to watch a revamped group.
Brooks is enjoying himself, frequently cracking a smile after plays to celebrate another encounter won.
Since the Ravens launched training camp last week, a deep, versatile defensive line has dominated blockers in what could be a sneak preview of the season. It's early, but depth upfront appears transformed into a hallmark instead of a question mark.
"I like this group," Brooks said. "Time will tell how good we get. They are playing their tails off. Yes, I do feel good about this group and I'm happy. I look forward to watching them get better as we go. There's a lot of belief amongst these guys. They want to be very good."
Newcomer Chris Canty has regularly batted down passes and shot through gaps to disrupt the backfield.
At 6-foot-7, 317 pounds, the former New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys starter resembles a bulky power forward. The Ravens haven't had a defensive lineman this imposing since Trevor Pryce was on the roster.
It's been extremely difficult for the offensive line to contain Canty, who mostly lines up on the right side alongside Pro Bowl defensive tackle Haloti Ngata.
"It's pretty cool because you just kind of play off of him because he's so long," Ngata said. "It's fun to watch him because he just stands up and blocks balls. I have to jump up to block balls. He's a great athlete."
The Ravens plummeted to 20th against the run last season, allowing 1,965 rushing yards for the most surrendered in franchise history. Although they won the Super Bowl in February, the Ravens' defense hadn't finished out of the top 10 in rushing defense since ranking 13th in 2002.
Besides signing Pro Bowl outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil to a $35 million contract, general manager Ozzie Newsome invested a three-year, $8 million contract in Canty. He also signed former Dallas Cowboys first-round defensive end Marcus Spears to a two-year, $3.55 million deal.
"I really like what the Ravens did to build up the defensive line," said NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout. "They brought in some studs."
Jeremiah isn't alone in that opinion.
Spears played alongside Pro Bowl defenders DeMarcus Ware and Jay Ratliff in Dallas and considers this as a potentially equal or superior group.
"This is right up there with the top guys I played with in Dallas, and those guys are darn good football players," said Spears, the top substitute at end and tackle. "There's a lot of talent. If we can get cohesive, we'll be fine. I think we can be real good."
Canty is regarded as a rare player because of his size and ability to be interchangeable at defensive tackle and defensive end. He has recorded 299 career tackles and 19 sacks.
"I see myself as a jack of all trades, just being able to fit in wherever needed," Canty said.. "I have a unique skill set. I've played inside, I've played outside. I'm very familiar with multiple front systems.
"I like to move around a lot. It gives offensive linemen a little bit of trouble in different looks when you're lining up in different places. That's going to be exciting."
The Ravens feature bookend pass rushers in Dumervil and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Terrell Suggs. Dumervil and Suggs, healthy and fit again after a torn Achilles tendon and torn biceps limited him last season, are flanked by big bodies inside. That could free them up to chase down quarterbacks.
"Awesome, we can be really, really good this year," Ngata said. "So much depth, and our younger guys are so good. We can do a lot of things with pass rushing. It's going to be real tough, I think, to block us."
Ngata is noticeably slimmer and more mobile now after being hampered in the spring due to a sprained knee from the Super Bowl. He's shoving people around, often shifting over from his regular tackle spot to play nose tackle.

Ask the Car Insurance Expert
Would my grandma's car insurance cover me if I borrowed her car and got in an accident?
Generally standard car insurance policies extend coverage to relatives and friends who borrow the policyholder's car, so yes, your grandmother's policy would probably cover you, assuming you have a driver's license. Car insurance policies sometimes exclude coverage for unlicensed drivers, even if they have the owner's permission to use the car.
[Let Insure.com help you find affordable car insurance now.]
If you live with your grandmother, though, you should be listed as a driver on the policy. Household members who have regular access to the car should be insured under the owner's car insurance.
If you borrowed the car while visiting, then you wouldn't need to be listed on the policy to have coverage. However, in some states and under some policies, coverage may be reduced when you're operating the vehicle. Under so called "step-down provisions," car insurance liability protection is reduced to state minimum requirements for drivers who borrow the car. For more about step-down provisions, see Oh, you mean him? Why you should tell your insurer about your roommate.
The best way to be certain about coverage is to have your grandmother call her insurance agent or company to verify there will be full insurance protection when you use her car.

Honda Small SUV
Expected Launch : Mid 2014
Expected Price : Rs 8-12 Lakh
HondaŌĆÖs foray into the compact SUV/crossover segment will be as important as the XA Alpha from Maruti-Suzuki. With HondaŌĆÖs reputation for building bulletproof cars, the compact SUV will definitely be a hot seller. Just like the new Honda City (which will be unveiled on November 24, 2013), the new compact SUV will be based on the new Jazz platform.┬Ā
Honda recently released pictures of what they call the ŌĆśUrban SUV ConceptŌĆÖ and the similarities to recent Honda offerings like the new Jazz are quite obvious too. The Urban SUV concept features a large grille and long horizontally stretched headlamps, compact overall proportions and a swooping roofline. From the rear too, the horizontally stacked tail lamps and the a large chrome accent piece running across the sculptured tail gate.┬Ā

Actually, I take that back. Annoying promotion does work. Just not in the way that you probably want. And not in the long term.
I read a news article a few years ago about a band called the Imperial Stars who decided it would be in their best interest to block rush hour traffic on a busy Los Angeles freeway and perform on the top of their truck. It ended just like you'd expect it would, with them getting arrested. I'm sure they knew they would get arrested, but they must have thought it would be a consequence worthy of the exposure and notoriety they would receive from the stunt.
And guess what? It worked! They got plenty of exposure. They got their music "out there" and gained some notoriety. But unfortunately for them, they're not known for their music. They're known for being annoying.
If you're annoying with your promotion, that's what you'll be known for as well.
The biggest question you need to ask yourself during promotion is "Why should they?". Say you post on Facebook asking people to like your music page. "Hey, I need more likes on my music page!" Let's pretend for a minute that 1 Facebook like = 1 dollar. If that's the case, then the former status reads like this: "Hey, I need you all to give me money!". The obvious response to this (especially from people you may only be loosely acquainted with) is "why should I?". I'm not going to give you a dollar. I barely know you, and I don't even know why you want it.
So what's a better way to ask for likes (dollars)? Well, usually when you ask someone for money you give them something in return. Perhaps your Facebook update needs to read more like this: "Hey friends! I'm getting ready to release some new music and put together this short promo video. I'd love if you watched it, and if you like the music I'd love if you liked my music page so I can keep you updated about the release." This kind of promotion answers the question of "why should I?". It's saying "hey, if you like my page I'll keep you updated on this music that you've shown an interest in."
Hopefully that makes sense. And hopefully you can see how this applies to other types of promotion as well.
The Imperial Stars gave the people on the Los Angeles freeway that day absolutely no reason to continue following them or their music. If you spam people with your music without giving them any incentive or respect, then you will be noticed for being annoying and not for your music.
There's one more lesson I want to take from the Imperial Stars. Check out this music video. This is the song they performed on the top of their truck.
[youtube id="rym7ctlNDcM"]
I'm not going to pass any judgement on the song. But I can't help but notice that between their extravagantly painted truck, the ridiculousness of the music video and the song itself that the least amount of time and thought seems to have gone into the song. It's as if the song was thrown together for the sole purpose of being able to make the music video and paint the truck.
If you want to be known for your music, then spend more of your time on your music. You will be known for the thing you spend the most of your time on. If you spend more time trying to get people to like your Facebook page than you do honing your songwriting skills and releasing new music, then people will quickly lose interest. Music is much more interesting than spam.
So don't be like the Imperial Stars. Respect the people you're promoting to. Give them reason and incentive to follow what you do. And spend your time on the thing you want to be known for, which I hope is your music. Focusing on these things will guarantee a dedicated and long term fan base who will appreciate the respect you've shown them and the quality music you've shared with them.
Question: what are some good ways to promote to potential listeners while respecting them and not annoying them?
http://twitter.com/skyflyingby sky flying by
i hate to be one of those people, but "this" cannot be stated hard enough for this piece. so many artists spend so much time and effort on "promoting" and just appearing to be desperate to get their music heard that well, there's actually very little (in terms of substance) to hear. sfb has a what i call a 100% organic micro-audience. very little promotion happens, just the odd fb/twitter post letting whoever cares to know that things are happening. yeah using the term "micro-audience" is probably overstating it, maybe nano-audience? but it's a good group of folks who, i believe, legitimately care about the music and what is going on. nope, not the most vocal bunch, but retention is very high.
at the end of the day i don't spend a lot of time worrying about numbers. to me this music thing is like, well, for me it goes something like this: some people like to play golf, i like to make records. it's something i always will do, it serves a vital importance for me, and sharing it with others is just icing on the cake. so, i don't spend a lot of time promoting. what happens will happen on its own.
http://stanmanx.com Matt Smyczynski
Since we're talking about promotion, I have to reply to this.
I just followed you on Twitter and Facebook because your thoughtful, non-spammy comment made me curious about your music. I'm currently listening to stuff on your bandcamp page. I like it, but that's not really the point here — you got my attention by engaging the post and relating it to your own experience, which made me willing to click through your profile to get to your site.
I bring all this up because there's a tendency among blog commenters (on other blogs, not this one!) to try and use the comment section as an advertising platform rather than as a place to have a discussion, as if the existence of your link makes people want to click it. I think having something worth saying is preferable to crafting perfect linkbait… kind of like how creating your best music is more effective than begging for likes on Facebook.
I think a good way to promote oneself respectfully (and respectably) is to focus on sincerely sharing your content and allowing people to appreciate it and connect with it, rather than just trying to increase your number of Likes or followers.
You're totally right, Andy, about how little thought and passion seems to have gone into Imperial Stars' actual music, relative to the flashy publicity stunt and music video. Not only did they make themselves known only for being annoying, they don't seem to have any real substance to share with the people they "reached," anyway.
If I'm going to put any energy at all into promotion, I try to keep it focused on sharing the art that I've worked so hard on with people, so they have a chance to enjoy it, relate to it, and connect with it. If they do these things, they're worth much more to me than just another Like or follow, because they'll actually WANT to stay updated on my work and build a relationship with me. They'll actually listen to my music and share it with their friends (and hopefully pay me for it!). Getting people to form this kind of sincere connection with my art seems much more effective and meaningful than trying to convince them to look at my page in order to make my social media statistics appear more positive. In truth, these kinds of relationships are what I'm after in the first place—they're fulfilling to me as an artist and person.

New Schnucks Super Center Opens at Dillon Plaza in Jefferson County
ST. LOUIS --- Schnuck Markets, Inc. opened a new super center at Dillon Plaza in north Jefferson County today, June 3, at 9 a.m. The new 62,300-square-foot store is located at 20 Dillon Plaza at the intersection of Gravois Road (Highway 30) and Dillon Road in unincorporated Jefferson County.
The new store replaces Schnucks' High Ridge store, which closed on June 1. It is twice as large as the High Ridge location, which Schnucks acquired from National. Dan Dettmer, formerly store manager at Schnucks' South City location, has been named store manager for the Dillon Plaza Schnucks. About 225 full-time and part-time associates will be employed at the new store. Schnucks is the anchor tenant for Dillon Plaza.
Dillon Plaza Offers One-Stop Shopping for Many Consumers
"Since our new store is twice as large as the one it replaces, our customers will enjoy broader product selection and expanded services than what we could offer at our High Ridge location," said Craig D. Schnuck, chairman and chief executive officer of Schnucks. "This is the first store in the area to offer customers such a full-service supermarket."
The 24-hour super center will offer customers a full food bar/salad bar, hot food and Oriental carryout, and an in-store bakery. In addition, Certified Black Angus Beef will be available in the service meat department. An extensive line of wines, beers and liquor will be offered. Customers also will find a full selection of the President's Choice premium line of products and the full range of Schnucks' private label products and Nancy Anne Bakery items, including the Healthy Living line of low- or no-fat cakes, brownies and muffins.
Other store features include full-service meat, seafood and deli departments, floral department, bulk foods department, cellular phone and pager department, video department, a health and beauty care department, a general merchandise department and a pharmacy.
The pharmacy will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. It is among 58 pharmacies operated in metro St. Louis by Schnucks, which has 77 pharmacies in four states. Schnucks honors most major insurance programs, including United Health Care and PruCare.
A NationsBank branch office also will open in July inside the Dillon Plaza store.
Schnucks operates 94 stores in Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Indiana, including 73 stores in metro St. Louis. The company was founded in St. Louis in 1939.
S.M. Wilson & Co. served as general contractor for the project, designed by Nova Group, Inc., architect.

The cold and rainy weather didn't stop people from lending a helping hand to those recovering from the devastation after Typhoon Haiyan.
The Heart of the World Fil-Am church was out at the Barnett Harley Davidson dealership in East El Paso Saturday collecting donations. They're accepting anything from food to cash, to send to those impacted by the deadly typhoon in the Philippines.
"We have a lot of members, family members that are affected. Now still going day by day, just living it day by day and it's not easy. It's going to be a difficult Christmas for everybody. That's why we are trying our best to be able to help," said Jasmine Lasala, with the Heart of the World Fil-Am Church.

Published March 7, 2008
On Sunday people in the United States will roll their clocks forward an hour at 2 a.m. and begin the country's second consecutive year of extended daylight saving time.
The change, adopted into law last year, was touted as a way to save energy. But some studies suggest the move actually has consumers using more power—and paying bigger energy bills.
Hendrik Wolff, an environmental economist at the University of Washington in Seattle, is skeptical of the purported savings.
Wolff and colleague Ryan Kellogg studied Australian power-use data surrounding the 2000 Sydney Olympics, when parts of the country extended daylight saving time to accommodate the games.
The pair compared energy use in the state of Victoria, which adopted daylight saving time earlier than normal, to South Australia, which did not.
"Basically if people wake up early in the morning and go to bed earlier, they do save artificial illumination at night and reduce electricity consumption in the evening," Wolff said.
"Our study confirmed that effect. But we also found that more electricity is consumed in the morning. In the end, these two effects wash each other out."
Wolff stresses that it's difficult to determine how increased daylight saving time affected energy use across the U.S. last year. But he's inclined to reject the government's pre-change projections of modest energy savings.
Lights Out, But Bills Up
In 2007 the U.S. Congress passed a bill mandating that daylight saving time begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November, creating an extra month of earlier mornings.
The U.S. Department of Energy is now sorting through the variables that drive power use—from weather patterns to the proliferation of high-definition televisions—to determine the yearlong impact of extended daylight saving time. (Related photos: sunrises and sunsets.)
Meanwhile the quirky chronology of Indiana's daylight saving time history allowed Matthew Kotchen, an economist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to measure the time change's energy impact in that state.
No federal rule mandates that states or even individual counties observe daylight saving time, so for years only 15 of Indiana's 92 counties made the time switch. When the entire state adopted daylight saving time in spring 2006, Kotchen and colleague Laura Grant were able to observe changes in energy use in homes throughout southern Indiana over a three-year period.
Their finding was clear: The switch to daylight saving time cost Indiana homeowners dearly on their electric bills.
"Just in the state of Indiana, it turns out to be almost seven million dollars a year in increased residential electricity bills," Kotchen said. "And that's at a far lower price for electricity than the national average."
The study found that daylight saving time did save on lighting use but that heating and air-conditioning use more than offset any gains.
"At least in southern Indiana, and probably in other places that have a similar climate, it's resulting in an increase in residential electricity consumption. Our estimates range between one and four percent."
But Kotchen cautions about applying results from Indiana to the entire nation.
For example, "we really don't know what's happening in California, Florida, or Texas," he said.
Steve Nadel, executive director of the nonprofit American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, noted that people will have to wait and see whether extended daylight saving time saves energy—and if so, in which parts of the country.
He also stressed that electricity-use patterns have changed significantly since the 1970s, when studies were done that suggested modest energy gains from the time shift.
"I would say certainly since the 1970s there's a lot more use of air conditioning," he said.
UCSB's Kotchen added that "in places where you have to use a lot of air conditioning [daylight saving time] may have a detrimental effect for the same reason that we [see] in Indiana, but it's difficult to say."
Impacts Beyond Energy
Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey was one of the co-sponsors of the bill that mandated daylight saving time begin on the second Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November.
Jessica Schafer, press secretary in Congressman Markey's office, said she hasn't seen any hard data about energy savings since the switch.
"We've always said that the energy savings from this would be small compared to other changes you could make, but every little bit counts."
Other effects have been easier to identify, she said.
"People walk up to [Congressman Markey] and tell him what they think," she said. "By and large it's been positive. People feel that it's very family friendly."
That's because the shifting schedule allows most people to be more active during actual daylight hours—daylight saving time is about more than just saving energy.
"Added to the other reasons—increased traffic safety, increased leisure time, reduced crime—all told, I think the benefits are significant and meaningful."
Such social benefits may be even harder to quantify than energy savings. If they do exist, however, they may outweigh the original reason for the change.
"There are lots of reasons we might want to have daylight saving time," UCSB's Kotchen said.
"But the notion that it's an energy-saving policy—as people have been suggesting for at least 200 years—is not necessarily the case."

The Shaping of New Visions: Photography, Film, Photobook at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
This event has already taken place. Click here for the latest events.
This exhibition, covering the period from 1910 to today, offers a critical reassessment of photography's role in the avant-garde and neo-avant-garde movements -- with a special emphasis on the medium's relation to Dada, Bauhaus, Surrealism, Constructivism, New Objectivity, Conceptual, and Post-Conceptual art -- and in the development of contemporary artistic practices.
The shaping of what came to be known as "New Vision" photography bore the obvious influence of "lens-based" and "time-based" works. El Lissitzky best summarized its ethos: "The new world will not need little pictures," he wrote in The Conquest of Art (1922). "If it needs a mirror, it has the photograph and the cinema."
Bringing together over 250 works from MoMA's collection, the exhibition features major projects by Man Ray, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Germaine Krull, Gerhard Ruhm, Helen Levitt, Daido Moriyama, Robert Heinecken, Ed Ruscha, Martha Rosler, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Philip-Lorca DiCorcia, and Walid Raad, among others. Photographic history is presented as a multivalent history of distinct "new visions," rooted in unconventional and innovative exercises that range from photograms and photomontages to experimental films and photobooks.

Venue Description: MoMA's rich and varied collection constitutes one of the most comprehensive and panoramic views into modern art in the world, and has grown to include over 135,000 paintings, prints, photographs, drawings, sculptures, films, and design objects. Visitors to New York City should make sure to stop in and view the collection during their vacations. Founded in 1929 as an educational institution, The Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to being the foremost museum of modern art in the world. Central to The Museum of Modern Art's mission is the encouragement of an ever-deeper understanding and enjoyment of modern and contemporary art by the diverse local, national, and international audiences that it serves. The Museum of Modern Art seeks to create a dialogue between the established and the experimental, the past and the present, in an environment that is responsive to the issues of modern and contemporary art, while being accessible to a public that ranges from scholars to young children. MoMA also has three restaurants on the premises: Café 2, is the museum's sophisticated cafeteria; Terrace 5 is a full-service café where guests can indulge in creative savory selections, delectable pastries and ice cream sundaes, inventive specialty cocktails, micro-brewed beers, and carefully selected wines; and The Modern offers the original, Alsatian-inspired cuisine of Chef Gabriel Kreuther, recently awarded three stars by The New York Times.
Museum Hours: Tues.-Mon., 10:30am-5:30pm; Fri., 10:30am-8pm (free entry 4-8pm for UNIQLO Free Friday Nights).

Earlier this month, the Army signed the first Information Technology Enterprise Solutions task order with Northrop Grumman Corp. to update computer operating systems at the U.S. Military Academy, said Steve Miller, ITES product leader, and Barbara Trujillo, an IT E-Commerce and Commercial Contracting Center officer.
The company's IT division, located in Herndon, Va., will update West Point computers to Microsoft Corp. Windows 2000 and newer operating systems and Active Directory. The six-month project is valued at $175,000, Miller said.
The U.S. Military Academy deal does not fall under ITES' performance-based parameters because that is not a requirement for all task orders. West Point's work with Northrop Grumman IT marks the first ITES task order, he said.
The Defense Logistics Agency reportedly signed an ITES task order with NCI Information Systems Inc. in early March for software maintenance support services for the U.S. Transportation Command, located with the Air Force's Air Mobility Command at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., according to the industry official whose company received an ITES equipment contract.
But Miller said in an e-mail message that there is not yet an award decision regarding the task order, which is still being evaluated.

Great map! I especially like the colouring.
Very nice map!!
Thanks guys! Here's the cover for the map pack - as well as the contact sheet of the 33 png buildings that come with the pack:
Attachment 53253
Attachment 53254
Oh, and then there's this - a sneak peak of the image that might well end up being the cover for the overall tutorial of how this map was drawn :)
Attachment 53255
so.. it may take some time to recruit other mappers into a band so we can cover "did you ever know that you're my hero" and play it to you at the award ceremony that we've created for you... so i guess i'll keep it short.
Great map Torstan. Very nice map pack. It should do very well at RPGNow.
The one thing I felt was missing was the icons for the defensive walls and towers. They should be easy enough to draw, but lacking the skill to draw well, the walls would then not match the rest of the town in style or quality.
Good call. They're actually slightly tricky to pull our of the map (they use a different approach than the buildings), but not so tricky that they should be excluded. I'll do that and get them added.

UNDATED (WKZO) -- Along with boarded-up buildings and closed auto factories, Flint and the Detroit/Livonia areas have the highest crime ratings in the nation. CQPress.com says the city of Flint's crime rate is higher than Detroit, with the cities ranking worst and third-worst nationally.
Battle Creek falls in the top 10% along with Saginaw. Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids are somewhere about dead center.
The safest city in the country is Fishers, Indiana, a suburb of Indianapolis. The Motor City suburbs Sterling Heights and Canton Township are among the 50 safest and so is the Holland/Grand Haven area.
They used FBI statistics to rank the cities, but even the FBI will tell you that the criterion and definitions of crime vary so much from town to town that the rankings can be misleading.

Mt. Soledad cross ruled unconstitutional

SAN DIEGO (BP)--The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Jan. 4 that the Mt. Soledad cross war memorial in San Diego violates the establishment clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The court did not order the 43-foot monument removed but returned the case to federal court in San Diego to determine whether the cross will be moved or if the memorial can be altered to conform to the Constitution, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
"The memorial, presently configured and as a whole, primarily conveys a message of government endorsement of religion that violates the establishment clause," Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote in the 50-page brief, adding that the ruling "does not mean that the memorial could not be modified to pass constitutional muster, nor does it mean that no cross can be part of this veterans' memorial. We take no position on those issues."
For two decades, the memorial has been at the center of a legal debate, with opponents saying the cross amounts to the government favoring the Christian religion, since the landmark is on public land and includes a cross.
In 1999, plaques with the names and photographs of veterans were installed around the cross, but McKeown, a Clinton appointee, wrote, "The history and absolute dominance of the cross are not mitigated by the belated efforts to add less significant secular elements to the memorial."
In 2008, U.S. District Judge Larry Burns in San Diego ruled that the cross is one element in a larger war memorial that honors the service of all veterans, but his decision was reversed by the Ninth Circuit.
"The Ninth Circuit's opinion almost completely disregards the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Salazar v. Buono, in which the court said that the Mojave Desert Veterans Memorial should stay," Kelly Shackelford, president of Liberty Institute, said in a statement. "This ruling is a slap in the face to our nation's veterans, and we hope that the Justice Department will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to set the matter straight."
Liberty Institute represented The American Legion, the nation's largest veterans' organization, in the case and noted that this is part of a trend to remove crosses on federal land.
"I am asking Attorney General Eric Holder to appeal this regrettable decision to the Supreme Court," said Jimmie Foster, national commander of The American Legion. "The sanctity of this cross is about the right to honor our nation's veterans in a manner which the overwhelming majority supports. The American Legion strongly believes the public has a right to protect its memorials."
David Blair-Loy, legal director for the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego, said the Ninth Circuit's decision validated core legal ideas.
"This is about fundamental principles and freedom of religion," Blair-Loy said, according to the Union-Tribune. "Our view has always been the best way to protect freedom of religion is to keep government out of religion."
The American Center for Law and Justice filed an amicus brief in the Mt. Soledad case on behalf of 25 members of Congress in support of the memorial, and Jay Sekulow, the ACLJ's chief counsel, expressed disappointment in the Ninth Circuit's ruling.
"This flawed decision not only strikes at the heart of honoring our military veterans, it reaches a faulty conclusion that this iconic memorial -- part of the historic landscape of San Diego -- is unconstitutional," Sekulow said.
"We believe the appeals court got this decision wrong and we look forward to the case going to the Supreme Court where we're confident this decision will be overturned. We're already preparing for the next chapter in this decades-old challenge and plan to file an amicus brief at the high court in support of the constitutionality of the memorial on behalf of members of Congress."

2010 Chateau Rollan de By Kosher
"Consistently better than its humble appellation, this excellent wine from proprietor Jean Guyon offers up plenty of black currant fruit intermixed with cedar wood, licorice and incense in a medium to full-bodied, surprisingly concentrated and expansive style that should drink nicely for a minimum of a decade or more. There's no need for patience with this sleeper of the vintage, given the sweetness of its tannins, attractive glycerin and fruit levels."

TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills
Vince Young was once thought of to be the future of NFL quarterbacks. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist at the University of Texas, won a national championship, was the NFL rookie of the year with the Tennessee Titans and appeared his career appeared to be trending upward. Fast forward to now and Young is broke and out of football. After pouting and playing his way out of Tennessee, he's bounced around to the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills, not looking anything like the player scouts thought he would be coming out of Texas. Young is looking for a job and is going to give it the old college try. Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated reported that Young is returning to Texas to finish his degree and work out at Texas' pro day in front of NFL scouts. Young doesn't have many chances left if any. Young will have to perform out of his mind to impress the scouts and front office personnel that he's worth a roster spot. If he can do that he would also need to play the happy camper a...

Kevin Love is better for Chicago
Five reasons the Bulls should opt for Love over Anthony
At least in terms of the Chicago sports news cycle, the Chicago Bulls re-emerged from offseason exile a couple of days ago when reports emerged Kevin Love was hitting the trade market, and Chicago was one of his preferred destinations.
The Bulls are often part of the rumor mill whenever a star player is looking for a new home, and just as often, Chicago fans are disappointed. Tim Duncan, Tracy McGrady, Pau Gasol, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and even hometown hero Dwyane Wade have all at one time or another seemed destined to follow in Michael Jordan's Nike-clad footsteps. Back in January, I analyzed Carmelo Anthony's situation and concluded that the Bulls were the most logical fit if he leaves the Knicks. Since then (not because of me), Anthony's name has been affixed to the Bulls whenever the subject of Chicago's offseason plan is broached.
Now you can add Love to the list of Chicago's high-profile pursuits, and it creates an interesting dynamic around here, while setting the city up for even more disappointment. Most NBA fans around the country are debating the merits of acquiring Love, and calculating the assets it would take to do so. In Chicago, the question du jour is very different: Melo or Love? Obviously, the question itself suggests that the Bulls have a lot more control over the situation that they actually do, which is very little. The cost for both players is going to be high in both dollars and assets, and the competition to acquire them will be fierce, likely driving up the price even more.
This is a classic sports debate. The Bulls might have to give up a little more to get Love, because Anthony can be a free agent. Nevertheless, targeting Love is the better move, and it's not particularly close. Why? Let us count the reasons.
1. Kevin Love is a better player.
People know this, right?
