Yet, the homeland security community continues to struggle with measuring the impact these investments have made toward improving preparedness. The 2009 Federal Preparedness Report highlighted that the nation lacks risk-based performance metrics, accurate data, and analytical tools to measure how these investments have improved preparedness. This thesis outlines the challenges of measuring preparedness across the numerous federal funding streams, assesses the prevalence of these factors, and proposes five recommendations for improving the capacity to answer how prepared we are;how prepared we need to be; and how we close the gap between the two.

Apartment Two, Builing Six on Weavers Way
Jasper Tinsfield
- July 13, 2005 06:45 PM (GMT)
"Aiden! Come say hello to your sister!" shouted Eulia from the apartments front hall. She was starting to take off her boots as her jubilant 13 year old brother came tumbling into the hall.
"Eulia!" he cried as he barreled into her.
"Oh you rogue!" she screamed as she fell over. They mock wrestled until Eulia pleaded exhaustion. When they stood up Jasper was in the doorway with a twinkle in his eye.
"Hello youngun'"
"Hallo Jasper, what have you made your poor working lass for dinner?"
"All in good time. How was your day?" he asked with a meaningful arch of his eyebrows.
"I had a fine day thank you, sir." slinging an arm around Aiden she walked towards their makeshift parlor. "Did you have fun at the glassblowers today"
Business could wait until Aiden was safely in bed.
- July 14, 2005 01:09 AM (GMT)
Aiden was safe asleep in the room he shared with Jasper. Jasper was nodding off in the sitting room. Eulia was now effectively left to her own devices. That day after her run in with the assasin she had gone to a healers, one of the few that treated the rogue, and found out all she could about poisons. Then she went to a potion makers and purchased a potion. The man had told her when she dropped it on anything with poison it would glow a color. He gave her a color card after she tossed him another copper noble. Based on the color she could know what poison it was. On her way back from that shop she went to the eating house the man targeted had gone into and saw that the establishment had been taken over by the provosts men. Playing the innocent girl with one of the guards she had found out who had died. She wanted to know who employed that assasin and what else she planned to do in Corus. Eulia didn't particularly care, but it would be a challenge she was sure, and her days were getting dull.
Anna Strange
- July 18, 2005 07:59 PM (GMT)
"Miss Domasik!" whispered a voice in her ear. Anna skipped back, laughing and grinning. "Gotcha!" she exclaimed.
"What are we doing now..." she murmured.
- July 19, 2005 02:11 AM (GMT)
"Anna!" Eulia hastily sweeped the things under her bed. "What on earth are you doing here?"
Anna Strange
- July 19, 2005 03:44 AM (GMT)
[Oops! I was confused by your post and thought you'd left the house. Wow. But, I can run with it.]
"I followed you home, silly," Anna told her happily. "Watch who's behind you next time. Besides I'm very quiet. Is this where you live?" She surveyed the room from corner to corner, eyes pausing to rest on the bottom of her bed. "What's under there?" she asked.
- July 19, 2005 04:55 PM (GMT)
OOC: sorry 'bout that. I suppose I should be over the confusing posts by now, but I'm not really.
IC: Scrambling to her feet Eulia planted herself firmly between Anna and the bed. Hackles rising Eulia struggled not to get angry.
"It's none of your business Anna. Anyway, I'd prefer if people knew as little as possible about what I do with myself on the weekends. Just for safety. What would you like to do, now that your here? Whatever it is lets not make it noisy. I don't want to wake Jasper and Aiden. They both had long days."
Anna Strange
- July 19, 2005 07:39 PM (GMT)
"Who's after you?" Anna asked concernedly. "You didn't get on the wrong side of Lasser, or anything...?"
- July 19, 2005 08:41 PM (GMT)
Giggling quietly Eulia arched an eyebrow, "No one's after me Anna. Lasser could care less about what I do as long as I pay my dues. No need to get worried about me. Just so that no one finds out anything they don't need to know is what I meant. Here lets go on the roof so we can talk."
Tiptoeing to the back door Eulia opened it and climbed the rest of the stairs to the top floor of the building. Stepping on top of the railing Eulia swung herself on top of the wooden overhang that shelterd the stairway. Eulia crawled to the real roof of the building and waited for Anna to follow her up.
Anna Strange
- July 20, 2005 03:06 PM (GMT)
"Well, you can't be too sure," Anna said, following her up the ladder. "Remember when my father made that joke about the King (not the one on the hill, of course) and had to go into hiding for a week before he cooled off? Or were you in the Roses then..." She sighed perplexedly. "It all gets so confusing after all while, these details. Well, here we are." She surveyed the surrounding rooftops with a critical eye. "Too bad you have to look at your neighbors laundry."
Morgana Roberts
- July 21, 2005 04:20 AM (GMT)
"Not all of it is going to be the neighbors." Morgana replyed coming up from the ladder with a basket in tow.
She looked at Eulia. "Please tell me your not getting yourself mixed up in something, again 'Lia"
- July 21, 2005 04:50 PM (GMT)
"For Mithros' sake you two! No one's afer me! I prefer laundry to gutters thank you very much. I remember that about your father, Anna. I've been hanging around the Roses since I was 10. Morgana has for about just as long too. Anna?" Eulia said quieting down alot. "I know you don't like to talk about it, but do you still... well... feel the same way about Crispin?"
Morgana Roberts
- July 22, 2005 12:59 AM (GMT)
"Just whatever you do, don't get Lesser mad at you. I don't feel like rescueing you." she said teasing the young girl as she hung the laundery.
After she finished. She turned to Eulia. "After your done up here, I need to finish hemming your dresses."
- July 22, 2005 03:48 AM (GMT)
"Oh, you don't need me for that do you? Besides Morgana I don't need rescueing."
OOC: sorry so short, gotta run.
Anna Strange
- July 22, 2005 02:23 PM (GMT)
[*curses her limited internet access* I wrote this a long time ago, and now I must edit. Sigh.]
Anna threw her head back and laughed, if a little bitterly, Eulia could be a nosy know-it-all sometimes, and she was seriously regretting having told her about her crush. Then again, she probably would have guessed anyway - with such an expressive face, Anna was never especially good at hiding things, especially at fifteen.
"That's ridiculous," she told Eulia.
"But, still, be careful, Lia," she warned. "I know it doesn't seem like much now, but if you meddle too deep..." she widened her eyes expressively... "you could end up like Jess Wheeler. Remember her?"
[Ack. Choppy.]
- July 22, 2005 04:43 PM (GMT)
"Meddle to deep in what? And, no, I don't remember Jess Wheeler. Remind me please. Are you sure it's so ridiculous Anna? I saw those eyes of yours when Crispin was talking of Lady Love up at the palace. You remind yourself once in a while that he
twice your age right? And that he is a
lush? I don't mean to pry it's just I hate seeing you be uncomfortable around him. We all see each other so much, it's rather painful really."
Eulia glanced at her friend. She really didn't mean to pry, but it just wasn't good for Anna to have to interact so much with Crispin while it obviously hurt to hear him talk of his affairs. Especially since he talked of them so much.
Anna Strange
- July 22, 2005 09:22 PM (GMT)
A look of irritance passed over Anna's face, but was quickly replaced by an guardedly blank expression.
"Oh yes," she said calmly. "He is rather upsetting."
- July 22, 2005 09:44 PM (GMT)
Noting the swift changes in Anna's face Eulia decided to take pity on her friend and changed the subject.
"So what about this Jess Wheeler, and my meddling habits? Anyway everyone who knows me also knows I hate paying my dues, except Lasser of course."
Anna Strange
- July 22, 2005 10:24 PM (GMT)
"You could pay them in cold cash, you know, like the rest of us." She sighed. "Oh, yes, about Jess. She was, you know, getting too close to Lasser, and someone finished her off. No one's sure if it was one of Lasser's enemies, or he himself, so that his enemies wouldn't use her to get to him. In any case..." she shrugged.
"I still say she didn't sleep with him, though," she added, chin set forward obstinately. "I knew Jess, and even though she was too power hungry to see what was coming to her, she was pretty smart."
Morgana Roberts
- July 23, 2005 03:35 AM (GMT)
"Actually, I do need you for at least one of them. You've grown since I made them last month." She said taking down the other laundry that she had put up yesterday. After she had it all down she went over to the ladder.
"Anna dear, I've also finished mending your skirt that you had torn. Come down after you guys are done and get it before you leave."
She went down the ladder and walked into the parlor. She sat down in the window seat and started to fold the laundry.
- July 24, 2005 10:59 PM (GMT)
"Oh Anna! getting cash just means more inbetween people, that means more chance to bungle. Besides Lasser isn't the best at estimating value. It's best for us. Oh yes, Jess. I don't really pay much attention to people who aren't in the Roses. It's safer." as Morgana left Eulia wrinkled her nose at the top of her sisters hair.
"I don't grow
Scrambling to the edge of the roof Eulia called after Morgana's disappearing head. "It doesn't matter if my skirts hang half an inch of the ground."
Crawling back to the warm spot on her roof Eulia lay down and looked up at the billowing clouds.
Anna Strange
- July 25, 2005 03:58 PM (GMT)
"Well, maybe you should," Anna suggested darkly.
- July 26, 2005 03:15 AM (GMT)
Turning her head to look at Anna, Eulia's forehead wrinkled.
"Why? I keep track of who's around, but I don't want to connect myself with people. I don't mind knowing anyone who just happens to talk to me, but I'm certainly not going to go out of my way to get close to people. Straight people see us all chatting, and if someone goes astray and the Provost gets his grubby hands on them, I don't want to be connected in someones mind to them. No sir, as long as I'm crooked, I intend to be safe. Besides, I don't need anyone else bungling my deals."
Eleanor of King's Reach
- July 26, 2005 03:47 AM (GMT)
"So you don't pay attention, but you keep track?" Anna queried idly, but, as soon as she had finished speaking, her face broke out in a grin.
"I'm giving you a hard time," she admitted.
- July 26, 2005 03:23 PM (GMT)
"I don't mind really. What I mean is I find out who the new faces are, but beyond that I could care less." grinning at Anna Eulia faced the sky again.
"Why? Is there someone you think I should know? Because I'll try if you want me to dearest."
Anna Strange
- July 26, 2005 09:21 PM (GMT)
Anna laughed.
"No, but it's always comforting to know that the Roses have themselves their own official busybody!" she joked kindly. "Next time I have a question, I know exactly who to ask!
"Whatever is so interesting about the sky," she wanted to know.
- July 26, 2005 10:11 PM (GMT)
"Its prettier than you" Eulia retorted, laughing in one of her evil player laughs.
"I'm not a busy body. Simply concerned with keeping myself quite alive, thank you. But yes, I suppose I could answer most of your questions."
Anna Strange
- July 29, 2005 02:34 AM (GMT)
"Well, I'll remember that..." she said, smiling. "Who is it who lives with you, just your brothers?"
- July 29, 2005 03:30 PM (GMT)
Eulia started laughing wildly and rolling on top of the roof. Stopping for a moment she spoke mirthfully "Yes, a fifty year old brother". She began laughing maniacly again. Stopping suddenly she rolled onto her side and propped herself up with an arm. "Jasper is the closest thing to a father I've had in the past seven years. Aiden is my brother. And I surely hope you don't think Morgana is male." Her stern demeanor started to crack and she started laughing again.
Eleanor of King's Reach
- August 2, 2005 10:59 PM (GMT)
"Well, at least you're nicely situated. Can't say the same for my quarters - I'm scared even to walk home! Bad neighborhoods, these." Taking a leaf from Eulia's book, she stared at the sky dreamily.
"Wouldn't it be nice to live as lady of a castle?" she asked. "You know, all silk sheets, and beautiful dresses... the good life..."
- August 3, 2005 03:20 PM (GMT)
"No I don't think I would. Certain things are expected of a female noble and I don't care to participate in them. Perhaps one could become a knight, but even now there is quite a bit of speculation as to why a woman would want to be one. Marriage, and perhaps even swains is not a territory I'm interested in. Which is expected of a nob, knight or not. Besides what would they do for fun that I don't hate?And where would I learn my lovely skills?" Eulia asked in a voice of mock innocence.
"Who needs silk sheets anyway? Flannel is warmer, softer, and cheaper."
Anna Strange
- August 4, 2005 04:25 PM (GMT)
Anna smiled. "Have you ever tried it? Silk is just as warm as thick wool, but, of course, as thin as linen." She shrugged. "I have a friend who works at the palace."
"You know, the classes are beginning to blend, these days," she pointed out. "One day, nobs will be nobs only in name... And power will belong to the rich merchants. It's beginnning to happen, slowly and surely - most nobles would rather have their daughters marry a rich young man of the bourgeois than a penniless noble of ancient line."
[Heh. Anachronism!]
- August 4, 2005 06:58 PM (GMT)
Eulia snorted.
"Yes the half of the country who's progressive wouldn't mind that, but the conservatives? No they still find good blood the most precious thing there is. And just think. If two sole heirs of a fief got married the fief's would be combined, and voila combined coffers, combined power, combined influence. With a daughter a rich merchant husband would be fine. But with the males? They'll tumble any commoner, rich or not, in a stack of hay and tell them they love them. But when it comes to speaking of marriage even if the chap is up for it the family threatens to disown, or makes hasty arranged marriages. Most of the men opt for the title and riches. The few that don't get cut off without a penny and have had no training in any skills unless they're gifted. Nobs will always be nobs. Even if they do marry into the merchants, the merchants will become nobles, and the ones who aren't will still be commoners. And commoners will still be dirt to them. Until there is no such thing as nobility and dominion over areas of land which isn't coming anytime soon, commoners will be worth less than nobles." Her mind was filled with disgust at the way things were in tortall. It wasn't a pleasant thing for her to think of.
"Whose this friend at the palace?" she asked changing the subject
Anna Strange
- August 4, 2005 09:27 PM (GMT)
"You think to harshly of the world," Anna scolded. "Just because someone is born a nob, doesn't mean their an awful person." But, leaving that subject behind, she continued:
"Do you know Livia Heart? She lived here just a few years back; now she works at the palace. We talk, sometimes, although, its been a while."
- August 5, 2005 12:40 AM (GMT)
"Small little blonde child"asked Eulia "Yes, I believe her father was one of our many unseated kings. I didn't know she dared to stay in Corus. That was stupid. But if she's managed to stay hidden, I guess not as stupid as one would think. How old would she be now? 13? 14?"
Anna Strange
- August 5, 2005 03:51 AM (GMT)
"Couldn't rightly say," Anna replied, chewing on her lip thoughtfully. She shook her head in disbelief. "That's really awful..."
- August 5, 2005 03:15 PM (GMT)
"Pray tell Anna dearest" Eulia said with mock dignity "What is so awful about anything I just said? Staying in a city with rival murderers, lets just face it, is not my idea of an intelligent decision. Palace or not."
"Besides I never said all nobs were awful people, just that about half of them are, which frankly I don't see how you can deny."
Anna Strange
- August 5, 2005 05:17 PM (GMT)
Anna appeared slightly taken aback. "No - I meant that it was awful that I couldn't remember her age... What's set you off with nobs anyway?" she demanded suddenly.
- August 5, 2005 06:00 PM (GMT)
Eulia blinked at Anna's question.
"I don't really know. Just how most of them act I suppose. I've done enough of my side job around them to overhear how they talk quite a bit. I'm afraid to say none of it's improved my opinion of them. It's usually either drivel, insulting, or gossip. I've been tempted many a time to go stab one in the back just so the realm could be free of the annoyance."
Anna Strange
- August 5, 2005 06:25 PM (GMT)
"Mm." Anna grunted. "Well, if you ever decide to act on that particular emotion, be sure you're out of the country by the time they find the body!"
- August 5, 2005 08:33 PM (GMT)
"Hmph. I'm not the type to get caught Ann, midear. Well, I ought to go up to the palace some time and have a look in at her. Do you have any idea where she works? Servants, infirmary, laundry, kitchen, bedmaking." Eulia laughed a bit.

The field of sports psychology studies the how participation in sports and exercise works with a person's psychological and mental capacities. By getting a master's degree in sports management, with a focus on psychology, students prepare for a career that combines athletics with psychological science. Classes prepare students for licensing, and build upon the foundation psychology classes they took as part of a bachelor's degree program.
Specific topics students cover in their classes include performance, emotional management, client counseling, research, self-awareness and perception, leadership and teamwork, anatomy, chemistry, ethics and law, motivation, pharmaceuticals, assessing talent, confidence, the use of rituals, visualization, and relaxation. Students may also take general management or administrative courses. Students can pursue other areas of sports management such as athletic administration as well as sports and health.
A variety of careers are available in the field of sports psychology. First, students can work in research, studying how team participation and individual sports affect a person mentally and how these findings can be applied to treat mental health conditions, as well as how exercise influences mental health.
Graduates can also work as a sports counselor, helping teams mentally prepare for games, set realistic goals, deal with losses and injuries, and apply what they learn on the field to everyday life situations. Students can also work directly with coaches, helping them learn more effective ways to motivate their teams.
With an MA in sports psychology, students can work in the following settings::
According to The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean annual wage for a psychologist was $72,540 as of 2010. The Indeed.com reports annual wages for sports psychologist at $92,000 in 2011. Top sports psychologists, who work with individual sports stars or professional sports teams, can make well over six figures annually.
The annual salary for a sports psychologist varies depending on organization and geographic location. Also, working for a large athletic association will likely pay more. However, these jobs are competitive and hiring is sporadic. Extra income can be earned by consulting, conducting research, writing books, and teaching classes.
Whether you're starting your career or looking to advance it, there are several online degrees from accredited schools available in Sports Management at every education level. Specializations range from Sports Psychology to Marketing or Athletic Administration emphasis. The following links from each school will put you in contact with the right people for more information on the program of your choice.
Use the degree finder below, and we'll help you find a sport management program.

When futuristic technologies merge, big things can happen for smaller yachts.
The latest example is the new TracVision G8 antenna from KVH Industries, which uses fiber-optic gyro stabilization, an internal GPS engine and chip-based mass data storage to allow the same satellite broadband/TV reception on midrange yachts that larger antennas offer on the world's superyachts.
Take fringe areas such as the Caribbean, where reception can be so bad that stabilized antennas using traditional technology must be at least 42 inches in diameter and housed in a 50-inch dome. That's fine-for yachts 120 feet and larger. KVH's new G8 antenna is the first to pack the technology into a 32-inch carbon-fiber dish in a 34-inch dome. It should fit comfortably on yachts down to about 80 feet LOA, yet still deliver the same fringe-area reception.
A simplified user interface (the master control unit) contains the system's memory and supervises all the new technology, but KVH's home-grown fiber-optic gyros remain at the system's heart. These FOGs, as they're known, use light instead of spinning metal to provide more precise stabilization than older gyro schemes.
The antenna is among the first in what may be a string of new applications for FOGs.
Ever notice that electronic navigation devices tend to be least reliable just when you need them the most, when you're offshore, visibility is short and the seas are rough? There's a reason for this beyond Murphy's Law.
When your vessel rolls and pitches and heaves, the radar becomes difficult to interpret. Large areas of sea clutter fill the screen. The GPS becomes intermittent as the antenna drops satellites. The compass becomes less readable as its card swings through large arcs. Even the folks trying to watch satellite TV belowdecks discover the antenna cannot find and hold a station.
The fact is, all this hardware works much better in flat seas, when "up is directly overhead and perpendicular to the boat's horizontal and longitudinal axis.
Absent flat seas, today's more sophisticated radar, navigation systems, compasses and satellite antenna systems will accept stabilization inputs from a ship's gyro, traditionally a relatively massive spinning metal device housed belowdecks in a metal enclosure that resembles a hogshead. The largest yachts can provide the space and weight these spinning metal gyros demand, but until just a few years ago, smaller yachts had to do without.
Enter fiber-optic gyros. They're tiny. They're light. They allow more precise stabilization inputs to come from a much smaller device. Even when three FOGs and a couple of accelerometers are put together to create an inertial platform, the resulting package is about the size of a cigar box.
A first use in the recreational marine industry was KVH's GyroTrac, a FOG-stabilized magnetic compass system ("Head's Up About Your Heading, June 2001). It's internal mechanism is the same as the one KVH is applying to the new antenna.
When removed from its housing, a FOG looks like a reel full of monofilament fishing line mounted on a printed circuit board. FOGs work by spinning light rather than iron. To understand how they operate, a basic tutorial on mechanical gyros is necessary.
Think of a spinning top. It remains upright and perpendicular to the Earth's surface. As it slows, it wobbles and eventually topples over. If you put the top on a book and, while the top is spinning, pick up and tip the book, the top will remain perpendicular to the Earth, but its angle to the book will change.
A mechanical marine gyro operates on the same general principle. It is a spinning object, often a highly polished bearing or disc, put into motion in a vacuum or liquid and fed power to maintain a constant rotation (so it won't wobble and topple over). The gyro will remain perpendicular to the surface of the Earth even as the Earth rotates. If the boat using the gyro is motionless and flat, the gyro will have the same angle to the boat and to the Earth. Once the boat begins to move, the angle between the gyro and the boat will change. Mechanical gyros measure the difference in this angle. Combined gyros can measure movement in three dimensions.
A FOG, on the other hand, basically works like this: A beam is fired from a laser. As it passes along the fiber, it is "split into two smaller, dimmer portions. The optical fiber then branches into a circular coil. One half of the light goes clockwise around the loop while the other half goes counterclockwise. The coil is the same length regardless of direction. If the FOG is motionless, the two pieces of light will return to the starting point at exactly the same time. When they do, they are recombined into the single, original bright light, which can be measured.
This won't happen if the FOG is rotating. Think of the coil of fiber as sitting in a box on a tabletop. The beams head in opposite directions. Each one has to travel the same distance to get around the coil and back to the starting point. As the light travels, you reach down and turn the box clockwise 45 degrees. By doing so, you've shortened the distance back to the starting line for the beam traveling counterclockwise and moved the starting line away from the beam traveling clockwise. As a result, the beams will not reach the finish line at the same time and will not be recombined into a single, bright light. Instead, they will be slightly out of phase.
A FOG measures this "phase difference.
FOGs literally have no moving parts: no spinning bearings, no liquid-and no periodic maintenance. Also worth noting is that a FOG's mean time between failures is about 50,000 hours, compared with 5,000 to 10,000 hours for metal gyros.
KVH's GyroTrac, a FOG-stabilized digital marine compass with outputs for additional ship's systems, retails for just under $3,000, or about one-quarter the cost of a traditional gyro compass system. The new G8 antenna sells for about $15,000. Since FOGs cost about $1,000 per axis to make, and KVH appears to be alone in bringing new applications to the marketplace, don't expect to see large price drops soon.
What we can expect is greater integration of FOGs into high-end systems that need stabilization. As the technology trickles down, smaller-yacht components will perform better.

We'll be the first to admit it: electrical projects, especially big ones, can get pricey. It's not unheard of for people to try to find workarounds, hiring unlicensed electricians or trying to get away with doing a project themselves. This is something we don't recommend at all—not because we're an electrical company, but because we know how dangerous it is to work with someone who has not had the proper level of training! When you pay a lot for electrical service, you're paying for a guarantee that your job will be done right, or if it's not, that you'll be protected. Some of the things that go into electrical service costs include:

Fortunately, there are a number of add-ons you can install on your generator to keep it running smoothly, even when the thermostat plunges!
Signs Your Electrical Panel Is Overloaded
Every year, dozens of people are injured as a result of unsafe conditions created by faulty electrical panels. With winter fast approaching and more people plugging in space heaters and turning on heating systems, this is a perfect time to go over a few ways to make sure your electrical panel is working properly.

To understand POWDER, you should first understand roguelikes. "Roguelike" is a term applied to a wide variety of games which share a common inspiration from the game Rogue. A non-exhaustive list of such games would be: ADOM, Nethack, Crawl, Diablo (I & II), Moria, and Angband. My apologies to the many excellent roguelikes I didn't list. What characterizes these games? The exact specifications are a matter of debate - indeed, I may receive hate mail for including Diablo - but I shall try to write a few:Tactical play. The unit of action is based on the individual adventurer. The game is not twitch oriented (like Quake, rewarding reflexes & well trained actions) nor is it strategy oriented (like Civilizations or Warcraft, requiring working on the large picture)Based in Hack and Slash. A roguelike isn't primarily about plot development or telling a story. It is about killing things and acquiring treasure.Random games. A roguelike is a dungeon crawler where no two games are the same. The maps are different, the items are different, there are no guaranteed win paths.Permadeath. You die, that is it. No restoring a savegame. Good roguelikes delete your save game after loading them. This is compensated by the replayability of the game.Complex interactions of properties. While the commands for a roguelike are simple, the potential interactions are not. My favourite example is equipping a silver ring as a weapon in order to damage a creature vulnerable to silver, but not one's other weapons. [Editor: This matches the Hack branch of the roguelike tree, not the Angband branch]Steam rolling monsters. If a critter is in your way, and weak, you shouldn't even notice it is there.
It crashes for me, when i start it. It shows the first screen for a second and it crashes.Does anyone have this problem too? I use open dingux 2nd pre release.Did anyone try this port on open dingux?

Editor's note: A Jacksonville resident has been reviewing movies for friends for several years and has offered to share his thoughts with Daily Progress readers. His reviews come in personal letters to his nicknamed friend, Spud Nut. Our reviewer is Tater Tot, so consequently, the movies get ratings based on potatoes.
Spud Nut,
The Green Lantern (rated PG-13, 105 minutes) gets very spacey when using sci-fi themes to explain the origins of the super hero's powers in this DC comic's classic character.
In this mythical universe, green is the color of will power, which can be used for good; and yellow is the color of fear, which can become pervasively destructive. Ryan Reynolds must learn to be responsible for the protection of mankind and overcome his fears through personal courage.
Just when you think that goodness has triumphed over the global threat of annihilation, the closing credits reveal that a powerful replacement villain has arrived to continue the story in a sequel.
After the back story and character development are completed in this drama, the combat scenes become compelling entertainment worth two and one-half potatoes.
Mr. Popper's Penguins (rated PG, 95 minutes) is a feel-good, family values morality tale that has won a Dove award as certified wholesome entertainment.
Jim Carrey's comedy and the animated penguins that come to live with him are funny, lovable attention grabbers. The animal act helps Carrey establish better ties with his two children and reconcile with his ex-wife.
He also replaces business at all costs, real estate dealings with a more balanced approach to work and family. This movie does not feel like just a Sunday School lesson because of the continuous good laughs, which includes much needed potty training for the Antarctic birds.
There are some touching moments of affection that will make you fall in love with the Popper family and their pets. The story line is very predictable because we all want happy endings.
This movie will earn a three potato rating from those who see it.

Thankful to be together
OK, so not really. But I did travel to Houston with my sister and pick him up to move back to East Texas. Our brother has been in a boarding home in south Houston for about three years.
- GUEST COLUMN: Code enforcement a vital part of city operations
Jacksonville will always be her home
The newsroom is always changing. You never know who is coming, who is going, as so many public officials told me when I first came to the Daily Progress over the summer.
Not just who we are, but who we aspire to be
Rarely in our country's history have non-elected officials had a profound effect on public policy. While rare, it does happen from time to time.
Just Ask Janet: Update on circulation situation at JDP
In keeping with my ongoing commitment to communicate with you about things at the paper, let me update you on our circulation situation.
County budget discussion needs to begin soon
When county commissioners were forming the current fiscal year's budget this past summer, there was a lot of talk.
Silence from LMC can be deafening
Each time there's news about a change at Lon Morris — whether it be the departure of an official or the delay of paychecks — the rumor mill in the area begins to fire up again.
Transparent government a must for JEDCO, city
The concept is simple — those who handle public funds should do so in as open and transparent a manner as possible.
Just Ask Janet: Kudos to the engines behind the hit parade
I went to the Christmas Parade Thursday night, and I am so tickled to tell you that it was wonderful! I say kudos to the Chamber of Commerce and all those who participated in the parade for making this year's event so much fun.

San Antonio is a key reason why Texas is doing so well during this recession. Forbes recognized the city as one of the country's most recession-proof cities in 2008, and judging by its booming workforce, the city is still growing strong. The Brookings Institution also named San Antonio one of the strongest-performing economies among the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the nation and #1 in overall performance based on employment and unemployment levels. Moreover, SA2020's Education initiative is dedicated to increasing educational attainment at all levels of study, which will allow San Antonio's workforce to keep expanding and help its members develop skills relevant to relocating companies and local industries. The San Antonio Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is comprised of eight South Texas counties, including Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, Medina and Wilson. San Antonio MSA workforce in May 2012 was 1,024,892, an increase of over 12,000 compared to May 2011. Manufacturing, education and health services, as well as leisure and hospitality industries, led the employment sectors. In this 12-month period, total nonfarm employment increased 3,356 and the greatest increased industry was education and health services by 7,400.

description | Another Grand Day Out for the small cluster of widely-spread TC members in NZ. In fact spread all the way to Oz in Mike's case. Mike was the organiser and one of the stipulations was to 'Bring a Scorcher'. Well I don't have running Scorcher, but I do have a Ford Ranger - albeit highly modified - so I threw some radio gear in that and fired it up. It actually worked very well, but it was very slow compared to those running those fancy sport-tuned motors! As it tuned out we never had all the SRBs running at the same time, although I think they all ran. Lots of variety in the cars and trucks in attendance though, and lovely fine but cold weather. The only bummer was that I didn't realise that my digital camera was set on VGA so all the photos I took are crap quality |

Repeating a Course
Undergraduate students may not repeat courses in which they have earned a grade of "C" or better or have transfer credit for. Graduate students may retake courses that have not met the scholastic standards of the Graduate School.
When a course is repeated, the most recent grade will be used to calculate the GPA, credits earned toward graduation, and determination of class standing. Also, the credit earned for the previous is forfeited and the transcript will indicate NR (no grade – repeated) for the previous course.
Students must have the permission of the Dean of Students Office and their academic advisor for the third attempt at any one course. Courses exempt from the repeat rule are those that may be repeated for credit as indicated in the course description. The Petition for Third and Final Attempt at a Course form can be found here.
The U.S. Department of Education prevents students from receiving financial aid who are retaking a previously passed course more than once. For more information: http://www.mtu.edu/finaid/understanding/requirements/
Students who receive GI Bill benefits cannot be certified for or receive compensation for repeating a course they have previously passed. For more information, please see the School Certifying Official in the Registrar's Office.

THE news, revealed in The Telegraph yesterday (report, Oct 31), that the Government is seriously considering changing the criteria by which charities qualify for tax breaks, is disturbing.
That the current arrangements are ancient and, in some respects, anachronistic is undeniable - the legal definition of charity has its origins in a statute of 1601 introduced by Elizabeth I.
Nowadays, under the aegis of the Charity Commission, charities have to fit under one of four main headings: the relief of poverty, or the advancement of education, religion or another purpose beneficial to the community.
Although this definition sounds fairly wide, many voluntary organisations find that they fail to qualify, and it is this that is causing difficulties. The promotion of sport, to take one example, is not regarded as charitable as the law stands.
In response to such concerns, a report from the Institute for Philanthropy recommends that tax breaks should in future be available to any not-for-profit organisation that does good works.
The National Council for Voluntary Organisations wants there to be a requirement for qualifying organisations to work for the "public benefit". The general idea is that the new criteria would be set by Act of Parliament and administered not by the Charity Commission, but by the Inland Revenue.
The troubling question about all of this is not so much would it work (though that is certainly worth asking) as could it be used to promote a particular political agenda? Would lobby groups, for instance, qualify for tax breaks under the new definition; and, if so, would all of them be eligible or only those approved by the government of the day?
Conversely, would private schools and institutions such as Oxbridge colleges and even almshouses find themselves excluded because the benefit they provide is not deemed public enough? And what about the advancement of religion? The scope for an acrimonious debate on the public benefit of that is huge, and potentially extremely damaging.
The great advantage of the current system is that it is not controlled by politicians, but by an independent set of commissioners working within broadly accepted and non-political guidelines.
As such, it recognises that charity is the expression of a vast range of private benevolence. By all means review and update the definition of charity, but its essentially non-governmental nature must not be lost.
The obvious danger of a system based on whether or not ministers and the Inland Revenue consider that an organisation's activities are for the "public good" is that it could end up effectively nationalising charity. That, surely, is something no one wants.

Check out his latest insights:
Sources: Israel bombed Iran forces in Syria
Sources: Israel bombed Iran forces in Syria 01/30/13 This is very interesting as it brings in Iranian forces as the target of the bombing. This is just a foreshadow of what is coming."Israel conducted an airstrike inside Syria overnight near the border with Lebanon, hitting a convoy of trucks, U.S. and regional officials said Wednesday.The regional officials said Israel had been planning in the days leading up to the airstrike to hit a shipment of weapons bound for the Islamist militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. They said the shipment included sophisticated, Russian-made SA-17 anti-aircraft missiles, which would be strategically "game-changing" in the hands of Hezbollah."
"Israeli fighter jets bombed targets in Syria and Lebanon that included weapons caches and senior members of the Iranian Quds Force, according to informed Middle East security sources.The Quds Force is an elite international operations unit within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps tasked with exporting Iran's Islamic revolution. It reports directly to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."
More from John McTernan on the subject of Israel and its enemies. Please keep in mind God's warning in Obadiah 15 regarding nations that mess with His chosen people in Israel, especially since Obama is committed to harming Israel as he arms her enemies.
"The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head."
"Tzachi Hanegbi, an incoming lawmaker in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party and a former chairman of parliament's influential foreign affairs and defense committee, signaled Thursday that Israel could be compelled to act on its own. While Israel's preference is for Western powers to gain control over Syria's arms stockpile, he said there are no signs of that happening."
"A key figure in Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's government called the Holocaust a hoax cooked up by U.S. intelligence operatives and claimed the 6 million Jews who were killed by Nazis simply moved to the U.S."The myth of the Holocaust is an industry that America invented," Shihab-Eddim said, leaving no room for doubt that the Egyptian government — like Iran's — has at the very least significant elements that deny one of history's best documented genocides."U.S. intelligence agencies in cooperation with their counterparts in allied nations during World War II created it [the Holocaust] to destroy the image of their opponents in Germany, and to justify war and massive destruction against military and civilian facilities of the Axis powers, and especially to hit Hiroshima and Nagasaki with the atomic bomb," Shihab-Eddim said."
Zechariah 14:12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Israel and the Middle East War
"UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed "grave concern" on Thursday over reports that Israeli jets bombed a convoy near the Lebanese border, apparently hitting weapons destined for Lebanese militant group Hezbollah."The Secretary-General calls on all concerned to prevent tensions or their escalation … and to strictly abide by international law, in particular in respect of territorial integrity and sovereignty of all countries in the region," Ban's press office said in a statement."
"Israel must, in compliance with Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, cease all settlement activities without preconditions," the report said in part. "It must immediately initiate a process of withdrawal of all settlers from the occupied Palestinian territories."Israel's Foreign Ministry responded in a fiery statement immediately to the report, which claimed that Jewish settlement activity only "hampers peace efforts."In response, Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said, "The Human Rights Council has sadly distinguished itself by its systemically one-sided and biased approach towards Israel."
"Meanwhile, the Hezbollah terror organization released a statement condemning the "Israeli attacks on the scientific research center in Syria." The statement said that "the attack is in line with Israel's aggressive and criminal ways and was made in accordance to a policy which attempts to prevent any Arab or Muslim force to develop its military and technological capabilities."
"Should this looming readiness crisis be left unaddressed, we will have to ground aircraft, return ships to port, and stop driving combat vehicles in training," said the Jan. 14 letter from Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey and his colleagues. "We are also now planning for the potential to furlough nearly 800,000 defense civilians who are essential to critical functions like maintenance, intelligence, logistics, contracting, and health care."
Suicides Rise Sharply With Recession: 01/30/13 As the economy fails, there is a sharp rise in suicides. This is because people have lost faith in the system, have no hope and succumbed to the pressure. The economic pressure is not going to get better but worse. The US economy is now contracting at an alarming rate. This is going to cause fear, hopelessness and suicides for those who are not anchored by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
"New research has shown suicide rates are up sharply since the beginning of the 2008 economic crisis.A new study by researchers in the UK found that males make up the bulk of suicide deaths.CALM (the Campaign Against Living Miserably) reported that males between the ages of 30 and 44 were the most at risk. They also reported that men between aged 45 to 59 have seen a significant jump in suicide deaths between 2007 and 2011.The research found that males in the UK under 35 were more likely to commit suicide than die in a road accident, from murder or from HIV/AIDS."
Hebrews 12:1,2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Financial Armageddon
"The U.S. economy posted a stunning drop of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter, defying expectations for slow growth and possibly providing incentive for more Federal Reserve stimulus.The economy shrank from October through December for the first time since the recession ended, hurt by the biggest cut in defense spending in 40 years, fewer exports and sluggish growth in company stockpiles.The Commerce Department said Wednesday that the economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter. That's a sharp slowdown from the 3.1 percent growth rate in the July-September quarter."
"Economist Art Laffer Wednesday called the contraction in the U.S. economy "catastrophic" and predicted that it would continue to shrink without spending restraints and lower business tax rates. "You have the whole output of the economy shrinking. Not just expanding more slowly, it`s absolutely shrinking," Laffer told Fox News' Eric Bolling Wednesday."That's catastrophic," the former adviser to President Ronald Reagan added."You can explain some of that by sequestration, and defense spending was down lot and all that. But you still have a rotten economy. And it's still too bad. We know how to fix it, by the way, a low rate flat tax, spending restraint, sound money, free trade."

Last week, the Bethlehem Area School Board voted to demolish its 1918 Broughal Middle School, a building that is as solid and usable as the district's 1923 Liberty High School or Allentown's 1916 William Allen High School. Broughal will be replaced with a new school at the same site. This comes on the heels of a proposal to sell the district's Nitschmann Middle School in the heart of walkable west Bethlehem and replace it with a new middle school in sprawling Hanover Township.
Hundreds of public school districts throughout Pennsylvania have faced similar issues in recent decades -- whether to renovate existing schools or replace them with new schools. Usually, new schools win out, many of them built on huge campuses outside of town, spawning car-dependent development and draining the life from older communities by removing one of their prime assets -- walkable neighborhood schools.

Denmark's Nekromantix were onstage, and lead singer Kim Nekroman was wielding his upright coffin-bass yes, it's an upright bass in the shape of a coffin like the freak he most certainly is. Five albums under their noose, and they haven't lost any balls. Songs about sex, death, and all that fun-loving macabre stuff make this psychobilly trio (which includes Peter Sandorff and Kristian Sandorff) spawns of everyone's favorite b-movie band, the Cramps. Stomping through tunes like "Gargoyles Over Copenhagen" and "Who Killed the Cheerleader," from their latest CD Return of the Loving Dead, Nekromantix had the crowd jumping and yelling lyrics, while the braver souls knocked about in the pit.
"When I say 'Britney Spears' you say 'Fuck that bitch!!'" Nekroman barked. The crowd gleefully complied and jeered when prompted. I guess the pop star gets no punk love even after covering "I Love Rock 'n' Roll."
The band did a disco break, and Nekroman flaunted his best Saturday Night Fever moves while Peter got friendly with his wah-wah pedal. They brought up Geoff Kresge from Tiger Army (who had to cancel their spot on tonight's bill) to play with Nekroman's big coffin, and the crowd paid due respect by ramming bodies into each other. Slick with sweat, Nekromantix exited the stage to make way for the Distillers.
I think I speak for all estrogen bombs when I say, Brody Armstrong, you make me tick faster. The 22-year old Australian lead singer/guitarist for the Distillers is the monkey's punk-rock pajamas. She's also the wife of Tim Armstrong (lead singer of Rancid and founder of Hellcat Records). Brody's songs highlight desperation, struggle, and rage. And she's got a feminist streak that never goes unnoticed. Her shielded persona isn't the most welcoming presence. The woman looks like she'd chain-whip you if you happened to look at her funny. I'm not about to look at her funny or unfunny or any other way, for that matter. Not everyone in the crowd was as intimidated as I was. When the skinny, short Brody climbed onstage, with her spiked crown, thick black eye makeup, bitch-red lipstick, and ratty, black Ramones T-shirt, a girl behind me lunged over my shoulders screaming, "You are SO COOOL," and you best believe she didn't mean me.
The crowd had an emotional response to the performance, something that doesn't happen unless the music is really amazing. Punk songs, by nature, are incendiaries, so a worked-up crowd is nothing shocking. But what makes the Distillers so amazing is that their music is so well arranged. Like Rancid's songs, the Distillers' songs don't all sound the same. Harmonies soar out of the speakers. There's just enough definition to make every chorus and every riff stick to your ribs, but it's nowhere near streamlined so you never forget that this is punk fucking rock you're listening to. Just buy the new CD, Sing Sing Death House, and you'll understand. When the crowd literally and flagrantly reaches for a band, well, that's something special. The Distillers have that something in excess.
Brody's voice is a mix of the pre-Prada Courtney Love's and the scorned sneer of Wendy O. Williams' raw, snide, throaty, a bit nasal, and with the bitch-o-meter cranked up to a 10. When Brody's voice tore through the air, chunks of her soul were sloughed off, and every individual body surged forward. By the second song, I think it was "Sick of It All," the crowd was so tightly packed together lunging to get near the guitarist, that I didn't even have to support my own body weight. Bodies continually crowd surfed, boots met with heads, and the catharsis was knee-buckling. Brody's chin was glossy with her saliva, and her runny eye-makeup couldn't hide the look of longing she projected. Often, her glassy eyes would gaze into the balcony with this kind of searching-stare that was eerily blank, yet gut-wrenching to witness. It's a look many kids know all too well, especially girls.
Gender equality was riding high. It's incredibly important that girls have a real bad-ass that they can identify with in a female lead singer. And the girls in the crowd fought hard for their heroine, someone who looked and felt like they did. When Brody was singing the Elizabeth Cady and Susan B. Anthony tribute song, "Seneca Falls," two girls managed to get onstage and sing along with her, and the entire Knitting Factory was crying out a chorus of "Freedom rise up for me!" Ever have a moment during a show that makes you want to claw at your skin so you get maximum exposure to the carnal energy? Am I in heaven?
Throughout the set, the band spoke very little. Here and there, Brody would say "thank you," and at one point she dedicated a song "to our new friends, you know who you are." But by and large, the Distillers rocked out, pausing briefly between songs. Ryan dove into the crowd twice, and I'm not referring to a whee-look-at-me kind of jump these were Olympic vaults. There wasn't a still moment, even when Brody said they were going to slow things down a bit and then played "Oh Serena" (at least, I think that's the song I heard). She noted that this particular crowd was the best one on the tour, and said, "You're working just as hard as we are." Perhaps she reckoned that from the number of collapsed Mohawks that literally couldn't take the heat.
Ever feel like you've been ravaged by King Kong and you still want more? That's like witnessing the Distillers live.

Layer Positioning in IE5 & NS6
I know there have differrences in IE5 and NS6 in the CSS position:absolute style attribute, So, i create a reposition function for IE5 and Nestcape6, such as:
if(ns6){ obj.style.left = 120; obj.style.top = 132; } it work fine, but when i resize the window (in NS6), the position can't go relative to the windows size. please help!! In IE, I use mergin-left and margin-top instead of left and top, then only it work the way as I want it to be. Please advice. Thanks! |
u probably need to reload the page everytime the window gets resized. or u could change teh properties of the window so that it can't be resized ( the resizable property) no idea whether this or if it will work or not!
onResize="handlerText" to reload, the handler text would be this: javascript:location.reload() Hope this information helped u out! |
here's a generic, cross browser reload/resize trap, which must be in the BODY section
<script language="javascript"> |
would like to add somemore things, that is when I change the screen resolution, the position "out" of the position as well...
please advice. |
for better understanding of what I want (previous thread), kindly go to
http://www.setiahomes.com/johor/index2.html and have a look. Thanks You Very Much! |
continue previous thread.
after access to the page, 1.)please mouseover the "futurelaunches" menu (at top banner) and see (in IE 5 and NS6) 2.) Click on the "property for sales" Link, at side menu, the position display not properly in NS6, after clicking, there have "gap" between Development Progress Link and Futurelaunches. Pls advice. Thanks You!! |
what do u mean?
do u mean like u want the menu to be straight under it?
and i just opened it in netsacpe 6 and the postitioning is fine |
ah ya, forget to ask you to click (show event) and double click (hide event), then you will know what I mean.
Thanks You Very Very Much!! |
The menu doesn't even work!
your menu doesn't work at all in NS6. To fix this, you must implement The DOM way of hiding and showing elements. You're going to have to put in another thing in your if else statement:
function showLot(id) { ns6=(document.getElementById) ? true:false ns4=(document.layers)? true:false ie4=(document.all)? true:false if (ns4) { document.layers[id].visibility="show" } else if (ie4) { document.all[id].style.visibility="visible" } else if (ns6) { document.getElementById(id).style.visibility="visible"; } } To hide it, the visibility property should be "hidden" Since i don't actually have access to your server, plus i don't really have the time, i can't test and replace the include by myself. |
I don't know why, the "property for sales" side Link can't work on NS6 at your side. My one no problem, can hide and show, but just have a gap between the "Development Progress" Link and "Futurelaunches" Link.
MOreover, the position of the "Futurelaunches" menu (banner there) can't stay on the original position when resize it, I want to fix this problem in NS6, in IE it work fine. |
in NS6 the menu goes to the right a little,u mean u want to fix that?
and the links work fine now in my browser, without any gaps or anything. ( compared IE to NS6, couldn't c a difference) |
ya, you are right, the menu goes to the left a little (resize smaller), it won't fix under the "Futurelaunches" menu (banner there) like what IE5.5.. I use NS6.0, what version are you using?? If it work fine, just forget about it...please help me to solve the above problem. |
the problem that i requested to solve is fix the layer under the futiurelaunches link.
IM not really getting what your saying...
Do you mean you want it under the future launches links in the banner?
Can't find teh menu code
I've lookes through your code, but can't seem to find the code for the menu. Is it in an include, or in the index of the page?
If so, which include is it in? |

Bits of Stone for Sunday, March 17
By Dean Stone | (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Design of 2014 Smokies quarter reviewed by both supervisory groups
Readers who are collecting the National Park quarters will be interested in knowing the recent reaction to the proposed designs for Great Smoky Mountains National Park which will be released in 2014.
The Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) and Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (CCAC) met separately to consider designs.
The CFA preferred a view of a log cabin before a mountain backdrop, while the CCAC refrained from making a recommendation. Instead, they requested additional, simpler designs.
The result of other designs for 2014 coins:
• Shenandoah National Park in Virginia — Both groups preferred a design showing a hiker looking out from Little Stony Man Mountain. CCAC offered suggestions to modify it.
• Arches National Park in Utah — Two of the park's iconic arches were the focus of these designs. The CFA voted for a view showing one-half of the Double Arch Formation. Almost unanimously, CCAC awarded 28 of a possible 30 points to a design featuring Delicate Arch.
• Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado — The CFA selected a scene depicting the park's three major geographic areas (sand dunes, mountains and grasslands), the CCAC once again requested better, revised designs.
• Everglades National Park in Florida — The two groups were in agreement on this design, selecting a coin showing two water birds within the park but requested a cloud be removed.
Finalized and approved designs for the 2014 quarters are not expected until much later this year.
White Mountain National Forest
Leading the five to be coined this year is White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire which is now available.
The reverse features 3,490-foot Mount Chocorua in the Sandwich Range. It is one of New Hampshire's most hiked and most photographed mountains.
The White Mountain region's tall mountains, many over 4,000 feet, provide superb panoramic views. On a clear day, one can see all the way to Canada and New York from the top of 6,288-foot Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern United States. The vibrant red, orange and yellow colors of the fall foliage season are a major attraction.
For more than 75 years, the top of Mount Washington held the record for the highest recorded wind speed on land. In April 1934, a wind gust of 231 mph was recorded by the Mount Washington Observatory. The record still stands as the northern hemisphere's fastest wind.
When I visited there several years ago on a clear day in September, the temperature and winds at the top of the mountain were as severe as any I have witnessed in Blount County.
The forest also offers 1,200 miles of hiking trails, 23 campgrounds, downhill and cross-country ski terrain and hundreds of lakes, rivers and streams for fishing, canoeing and kayaking.
Other 2013 National Park quarters
Later this year the next four will become available:
Perry's Victory and International Peace, Ohio; Great Basin National Park, Nev.; Fort MacHenry, Md.; Mount Rushmore, S.D.
Others planned and the year of release:
2015 — Homestead National Monument of America, Neb.; Kisatchie National Forest, La.; Blue Ridge Parkway, N.C.; Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Del.; Saratoga National Historical Park, N.Y.
2016 — Shawnee National Forest, Ill.; Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, Ky.; Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, W.Va.; Theodore Roosevelt National Park, N.D.; Fort Moultrie (Fort Sumter National Monument), S.C.
2017 — Effigy Mounds National Monument, Iowa; Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, District of Columbia; Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Mo.; Ellis Island National Monument (Statue of Liberty), N.J.; George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, Ind.
2018 — Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, Mich.; Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Wis.; Cumberland Island National Seashore, Ga.; Block Island National Wildlife Refuge, R.I.; Lowell National Historic Park, Mass.
2019 — American Memorial Park, Northern Mariana Islands; War in the Pacific National Historical Park, Guam; San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, Texas; Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, Idaho.
2020 — National Park of American Samoa, American Samoa; Weir Farm National Historic Site, Conn.; Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve, U.S. Virgin Islands; Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, Vt.; Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, Kan.
2021 — Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site, Ala.
Coins released prior to 2013
In the event you lost track, here are the previous releases in the series:
2010 — Hot Springs National Park, Ark.; Yellowstone National Park, Wyo.; Yosemite National Park, Calif.; Grand Canyon National Park, Ariz.; Mt. Hood National Forest, Ore.
2011 — Gettysburg National Military Park, Pa.; Glacier National Park, Mont.; Olympic National Park, Wash.; Vicksburg National Military Park, Miss.; Chickasaw National Recreation Area, Okla.
2012 — El Yunque National Forest, Puerto Rico; Chaco Culture National Historical Park, N.M.; Acadia National Park, Maine; Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii; Denali National Park, Alaska.
The entire list is included for two reasons: It will be helpful to casual coin collectors, and it could become a geography lesson for both young and old.

Approximately 95 bills in 33 states introduced on suspected child abuse
Reporting child abuse is a common thread in legislation being proposed in 33 of our 50 states this year.
Most readers are aware of Tennessee's efforts to strengthen protection and reporting of child abuse and neglect. However, the four bills introduced in Tennessee are well below the 11 in New York, nine in Texas and six in Pennsylvania. The problem is reaching the national scene.
The National Conference of State Legislatures reports states are moving ahead of the federal government in regulating hydraulic fracturing of deep deposits of natural gas so they can be consumed.
A number of federal programs such as Medicaid and Social Security are exempt from the sequestration cuts. Its effects on scores of other federal assistance programs varies widely.
Junk mail catalogs offer expensive drag on US mail, a few good laughs
We occasionally order from two mail order firms to obtain items not available locally. The problem is, all these mail order companies exchange addresses, frequently misspell or rearrange your name and in the end one receives untold scores of unwanted junk catalogs. The postal service says these unwanted junk mail catalogs that clutter my mail box pay their fair share of postage. If they do, my first class stamps are vastly overpriced. No wonder the Post Office is going broke.
But, back to the subject. I occasionally flip through a catalog just to enjoy a laugh. One of my most recent offered a hot tub boat with a vinylester hull, topped with a slatted deck of African teak. The tub is eight feet long, four feet wide and drafts only 20 inches when filled with a maximum load of 2,100 pounds of water and six adults.
An integrated diesel-powered boiler with an adjustable thermostat heats the water to 104 degrees. A water-proof stereo system plays music from your MP3 player through two flush-mounted 50-watt speakers that popup from the deck. It has four ice chests built into the deck and other storage areas.
A 24-volt electric motor propels the boat up to five mph on calm water. It is steered with a joy stick by bather located at starboard/aft. Its rechargeable battery bank provides up to 10 hours of power from overnight charge and using on-board chargers.
Hot tub cover is included. The boat is 16 feet long and has a dry weight of 1,200 pounds. The price is $42,000.
Even if it were given to you, wouldn't you hate to maintain it, schedule and pay for trips for all your new-found friends who just "love" a hot tub?

Usher's Ex-Wife Files Appeal In Custody Case Citing Judicial Corruption September 3. 2012 Tameka Foster and Usher Raymond before their divorce Tameka Foster, the ex-wife of singer Usher, has filed an appeal in her custody case, citing judicial corruption, which led to the judge, Bensonetta Tipton Lane, awarding the star custody of the former couple's two young children. Foster was devastated. As stated previously, Foster has cited the fact Raymond's lawyers contributed and raised $25,000 towards the judge's reelection campaign. This, she now states, is a conflict of interests, especially given the outcome of the case. The Judiciary Report has experience in this area, as in two separate cases to do with the same matter, judges completely corrupted the judicial system in favor of celebrities they were finically attached to or worked for in past employment. Under such circumstances, judges should automatically recuse themselves, to avoid the appearance of corruption and save taxpayer money. In Foster's case, the judge did show her some mercy in reinstating the luxury Saks Fifth Avenue credit card on Usher's account that she so coveted, reimbursement of nanny fees and other related expenses, as well as most importantly granting her some visitation rights. However, she awarded primary custody to Usher. Usher and girlfriend Grace Miguel The Judiciary Report prides itself on being fair. Yes, the judge should have recused herself due to the conflict of interest, but under the circumstances, the judge was fair to Foster. The problem is Foster's mental instability and open acts of violence and threats of grievous bodily injury. Personally, I'm not a fan of Usher or Foster. Frankly, I'm even less fond of Usher, due to his corrupt business dealings in the music industry that warrant a formal federal inquiry. But Foster's issues regarding the marriage are far more serious than Usher's due to her violent temperament. At the end of the day, Foster has the right to not want her kids around Usher's adulteress girlfriend, who she sees as her nemesis, Gracie Miguel. But Foster has to realize, being violent will alarm anyone and work against her, especially if she is to be responsible for the welfare of minor children. She wasn't thinking when she started acting out in rage.

Kyle Busch captured the pole for the Sprint All-Star race for the second straight year.
Busch completed the unique three-lap qualifying that included a mandatory four-tire pit stop in 1 minute, 19.11 seconds. He was the last qualifier on the track and knocked Ryan Newman to the outside of the front row.
While winning the pole puts Busch and his No. 18 Toyota in great position to win his first All-Star race, it certainly doesn't guarantee a first-place finish and the accompanying $1 million prize.
In fact, winning the pole has proved to be a bit of a curse. The last pole winner to win the All-Star race was Davey Allison in 1992.
Denny Hamlin will start third, followed by Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick.

Upper West Side
Upper West, from Central Park West to the Hudson River, 57th Street to 110th Street.
Every ten blocks of the Upper West Side seem to have their own character: the 70s and 80s have their share of "Classic Six" prewar apartments (that's three bedrooms, a living room, dining room, and kitchen, as opposed to a "Classic Seven," which has all that plus a room for the maid or domestic staff, sometimes used as a home office.) Along Riverside Drive on the Upper West Side, there are contain some grand-scale apartment buildings with magnificent river views to match the street's name. Meanwhile, the southern bit of the Upper West Side embraces the Time Warner Center, which has some of the most spectacular luxury condos in the city, along with high-end shops like Coach and Hugo Boss, once-in-a-lifetime eateries like Per Se, and a giant subterranean Whole Foods that seems to hold every resident of the Upper West Side at once.

text: Case studyWe have many happy customers and we would like to show you what you could achieve by doing business with us. Applied Measurements Ltd (a load cell company) came to us with a first concept of replacing load cells with an easy to use, digital, non contact tension meter. They initially had no idea how this could be done or what electronics were involved. Our engineers had many meetings with Applied Measurements to determine the best way to tackle such a task and we came up with a simple device that detects the frequency of oscillation in a steel wire. There is a direct relationship between the frequency in the wire and the tension within the strand. Our engineers produced the electronic design, PCB files and the assembly work to produce the final product for Applied Measurements. Their website for the device is at Digiforce - Non contact load cell replacement. |
