Last week, those movie ticket kiosks were on my nerves.
But this week, I wanted to focus on those fun little images we all love to hate: Captcha.
You know them- the images you have to decode in order to sign up for a new account (basically to prove that you're human).
This post is dedicated to you, little buggers, for making me feel kinda dumb sometimes.
Formally known as ""Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart," captchas as we know them today are the product of crazy awesome people/researchers @ Carnegie Mellon, who came up with the crazy awesome (and long) term as well.
There are a variety of captchas out there, working to determine who is real and who's a bot – I'm sure you've seen a few options, from text (words, phrases), object recognition (now in 3D), math, and other weird captchas.
Some captchas use their power for good (like reCaptcha's goal of digitizing scanned texts) and others for evil (like trading captcha solving for porn).
Even though they're frustrating and kindof annoying sometimes, I just think about how wild the Internet would be without them. Maybe my next rant of the week should be focused on those pesky bots.
In Summary: hey, I'm no Wolfram Alpha, but I matter too.

The 2011 Hall of Fame Class
January 5th, 2011 | by Ray Flowers |
The Hall of Fame vote for 2011 was released today, and unsurprisingly there were two names listed highlighted by the the name of Roberto Alomar, a year after he was denied entry (to all the voters who withheld their vote for Alomar because of the spitting incident, get off your flipping high horse. I'm sure none of you ever did something of questionable moral value). You can read my reasons for having not a scintilla of doubt about the inclusion of Alomar in the Hall of Fame in Who am I? The other player selected was Bert Blyleven who was finally chosen for the Hall in his 14th year on the ballot. Here are the results of the top-5 from this year's balloting (a player needs to be named on 75% of the ballots to be awarded a spot in the Hall).
Roberto Alomar: 90.0%
Bert Blyleven: 79.7%
Barry Larkin: 62.1%
Jack Morris: 53.5%
Lee Smith: 45.3%
* For the complete results you can visit The Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Two of my personal favorites failed to reach 45 percent of the votes in Jeff Bagwell (41.7%) and Tim Raines (37.5%). You can find my reasons for supporting Bagwell in HOF: The Case for Bagwell. As for Raines, I wrote a report titled simply HOF: Tim Raines. However, I've never written much about Blyleven, so I thought I would share some thoughts on his election. Some facts on Blyleven.
He was named to three All-Star teams.
He won a Cy Young Award.
He won 133 games in his first 10 seasons.
He owns a career winning percentage of .542.
He was top-10 in complete games eight times including four seasons in which he led the league.
He has an ERA+ mark of 1.14 (14 percent better than the league average).
Are you ready to have your mind blown like the first time you saw The Sixth Sense? Those aren't numbers that belong to Bert Blyleven, they belong to Barry Zito. I'll give you a moment to comprehend what we are working our way up to here by giving you Blyleven's real numbers.
Blyleven was named to two All-Star games, one less than Zito.
Blyleven never won a Cy Young Award (he was 3rd in 1984-85).
Blyleven won 148 games his first 10 years, an average of 1.5 wins a year more than Zito.
Blyleven owns a career winning percentage of .534, .008 less than Zito.
Blyleven was top-10 in complete games 12 times but led the league only once.
Blyleven has an ERA+ mark of 118, slightly better than Zito's 114 mark.
I think my point should be evident, should it not? I'm not saying Barry Zito should be in the Hall of Fame, but I think it's rather poignant to think that Barry Zito has been the equal of Blyleven for the first 10 seasons of his career. So I ask, is there anyone out there that thinks Zito will one day deserve to be in the Hall of Fame even if he has another 10 years like his first 10? I mean really, Bert Blyleven was inducted into the Hall of Fame for being a very good pitcher for an awfully long period of time, but when did the Hall of Fame became the domain of very good ball players?
Let me hit on Jack Morris before I leave you today. Let's compare Morris to Blyleven in some major categories and see if there are real differences between the two.
Blyleven: Two All-Star games
J.Morris: Five All-Star games
Blyleven: 0.45 career shares in Cy Young voting
J.Morris: 0.73 career shares in Cy Young voting
Blyleven: 287 wins, top-10 in wins six times
J.Morris: 254 wins, top-10 in wins 12 times
Blyleven: .534 winning percentage, ERA+ of 118
J.Morris: .577 winning percentage, ERA+ of 105
Blyleven: Hall of Fame Monitor (120), Hall of Fame Standards (50)
J.Morris: Hall of Fame Monitor (122), Hall of Fame Standards (39)
Maybe it's just me, but I certainly don't see a hell of a lot of difference between those two other than the fact that Blyleven does have a sizable strikeout lead (6.7 K/9 to 5.8 K/9). My point is that maybe all those Morris supporters will just have to remain patient as it appears that, with time, the voting body will eventually install him in the Hall of Fame.
I love the passionate response by everyone below in the Comments section (below). Love it. Wish everyone would share their thoughts more to make things interesting. My point was to cause everyone to get engaged with the topic, and they certainly did.
Let me be clear.
1- Zito is NOT a Hall of Fame pitcher. Period.
2- Zito is NOT as good as Blyleven when you take into count the overall performance of Blyleven over the course of 22 years.
I was merely stating that Zito had more Cy Young's and All-Star appearances, a better winning percentage, a better K/9 mark and was tougher to get a hit off of than Blyleven. Those are facts, and you can read whatever you would like into them, but I was just pointing out that Blyleven's efforts weren't vastly different in many respects. I never said Zito was a better pitcher.
As for Blyleven's accomplishments, they are historically substantial in terms of his overall workload which was immense (nearly 5,000 innings). The question continues to be – should we reward durability, or should the Hall of Fame be for the best players?
Think of it. Blyleven NEVER led the league in wins or ERA. He only led the league in strikeouts once and only once did he lead in WHIP. In addition, despite all his innings, he only led the league in that category twice. If I add that all up, I don't know if that's good enough for the Hall of Fame.

What does cheating at dice have to do with the fall of Nazi Germany? This cinematic series was inspired by James Burke's Connections
Did you love Cosmos, Connections, Ascent of Man...etc?
My Inspiration:
Apply the template behind the TV show Connections to concepts instead of inventions!
I want to explain exciting concepts from Computer Science, Math, Engineering and Economics. Such as: Cryptography, Information Theory, Economic Modeling, Prediction Markets, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning, Probability Theory, Linguistics, Graph/Network Theory....and much more!
My Idea:
Explore the roots of great conceptual ideas by following the history of problems from which they arose. Each episode will follow one ancient problem and explore how it reoccurs again and again in more modern forms. This allows us to follow conceptual ideas along the context of their inception - making it easier to digest challenging theoretical ideas.
Feminine Perspective:
This program incorporates a strong feminine perspective, which I feel is very important when explaining scientific concepts. I make sure that all scripts are checked by a female editor who comes from a non-technical background and use my wife Lyndsay to narrate the story.
Why do This?
I learned most of this stuff in school, but it was taught in a way that made it seem inaccessible. I want readers & viewers to viscerally grasp of the key concepts by simulating the process behind an independent realization.
I have been producing video for years and have won a number of National awards which have recognized my unique visual style. I want to put this style to work and make a beautiful & engaging educational program. Something I care deeply about.
What will I do if I'm funded?
I need to finish producing the first episode which follows the history of Cryptography called Gambling with Secrets! It deals with Gambling, World Conflict, Information Theory and much more! There has been only one program on BBC about this stuff around 11 years ago by Simon Singh which dealt with this topic, although it's dated and doesn't provide a solid understanding of the big picture.
I get to touch on tons of neat figures and important events such as: Cardano, Turing, Euclid, Shannon, Caesar, von Neumann, WW1 & WW2, Cold War...how cool is that?
Why do I need money?
The drive behind this idea is to have a great collection of stories to share with my kids (when that day comes). If I did this alone with no funding, I would have to cut tons of corners, it would take forever and I would have to beg artists to work for free again - and I'm growing really tired of doing that! I just need some $ for the ABC's...
A - Finish script & get it edited one final time (It's 95% there but needs some tweaking to expand on Claude Shannon's contribution and new parts on Babbage inspired by 'The Information'). You can check out the script I'm working on here. I have a small team of PhDs in Math and the History of Science to help with fact checking.
B - Shoot the episode. I have most of my own equipment but I need to hire people for art/graphics, sound recording, authentic props & extras for the reenactments. I want this to look beautiful (Cinematography is a passion of mine). A very rough prototype is available for viewing at www.artoftheproblem.net
C - Post Production. I work with two musicians to score original music and sound for the entire episode. By supporting me you are supporting a great team of independent artists.
Why not?
I've been making educational videos since I was 10 years old. This is something I care deeply about, I promise to not disappoint!
Yes! I have accepted a handful of new donations since this project has ended from people wanting DVD's or production credits. Production is rolling beautifully however I'm already over budget and working out of pocket - so I welcome any new backers! This can be done from paypal via the artoftheproblem website

About Caritas Society
To join the Caritas Society, download the membership form, fill it out, and return it as directed or call 410-972-4505 and request a form.
The Caritas Society of St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland, is a non-profit membership organization. More than 200 people from the Annapolis community and the college belong to Caritas. Members enjoy many opportunities to share their interests. They connect with a variety of friends who support St. John's and its distinctive liberal arts program. Membership is open to everyone interested in the activities of the Caritas Society.
Caritas has two purposes: 1) to support the St. John's Program by providing need-based financial aid to students; 2) to promote enduring relationships between St. John's and the larger Annapolis community
The Caritas Society accomplishes its first purpose by awarding eight to ten financial aid grants each year to students whose college expenses are greater than their financial resources and are in need of additional funding in order to remain at the college. Caritas supports St. John's in other ways, too. Examples of special initiatives include:
- An annual scholarship to a deserving student through the St. Johns College Endowment Fund
- A significant gift to the Friends Scholarship Fund for Students from Maryland in Memory of Jeff Bishop (created in 2007)
- A contribution to the Christopher B. Nelson Endowment for Student Scholarships
- A special one-year scholarship for academic year 2012-13 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the colleges New Program, initiated in 1937
- Five book awards each year to students from the Mary D. and Richard D. Weigle Great Books Fund to cover the cost of Program books
- Several $50 memorial donations to the Greenfield Library each year
- A prize for outstanding service to the Annapolis community by a St. Johns senior presented at graduation
- Caritas also administers the Belknap Fund from which two prizes are awarded annually to students for outstanding contributions in the field of music. Prize categories include: 1) the best musical composition; 2) the best student paper on a musical work
The Caritas Society accomplishes its second purpose by presenting social gatherings, instructive and entertaining presentations, and special events. Members are encouraged to learn about St. Johns and to take advantage of its many educational and cultural opportunities.
Monthly meetings feature speakers on a wide range of topics, as well as musical and dramatic performances. Caritas also hosts fundraising events that are open to the public. Examples are the popular Meet the Authors program, which brings nationally known writers to the St. Johns campus each fall, and a much-anticipated, light-hearted theatrical presentation in the early spring.
The Caritas Society does all of this and more. Tell your friends about us!

Heroes of the skies to be honoured next weekend
5:00pm Sunday 9th September 2012 in Local
THE heroes of the skies will be honoured with a special parade in Dudley this weekend.
Dudley Council is paying tribute to the Battle of Britain on Sunday with a service at Top Church, a parade by the borough Air Training Corps cadets and the laying of wreaths at the cenotaph in Ednam Road.
Mayor of Dudley, Councillor Melvyn Mottram, said: "This is an ideal opportunity to come out and show your support for the armed forces, and remember the huge sacrifices these people made for us in the Battle of Britain.
"It is important we never forget the role of the Royal Air Force and the men and women who make it so special."
The parade will set off from Priory Road at 11am and will make its way along New Street, Market Place and High Street, before the service takes place at St Thomas and St Luke's Church at 11.30am.
Following the service the parade will continue past the Council House in Priory Road, where the mayor and a representative from RAF Cosford will receive a salute.
The event will end at the Ednam Road cenotaph where a period of silence will take place.

Redesign reflects library's role as gateway to information and knowledge worldwide
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY - The newly renovated main floor of the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library will be officially reopened on Monday, Nov. 13 at 4:30 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting by Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz and Donald Everett Axinn.
The ceremony and a reception will take place at the Axinn library on the south campus at the south end of the Unispan that connects to the Student Center. A jazz trio composed of Hofstra music students will provide the music. Refreshments will be served.
The renovation transforms a traditional and aging library into a modern, light and airy space of metal and glass which reflects the library's contemporary role as a gateway to information and knowledge from around the world through the Internet," said Daniel Rubey, Dean of Library and Information Services at Hofstra. "Our design is intended to make the library a more open and welcoming place for students, one which meets their social and community needs as well as their research needs in the new information age."
Designing the new space was a collaborative effort by Hofstra students, library faculty and staff working with the Long Island architectural firm Bentel & Bentel of Locust Valley. The renovation, which began at the end of the spring semester, features more comfortable lounge seating, updated service desks, improved lighting, additional work space for students with wireless access, and a coffee bar.
The 11-story Axinn Library, the main library at Hofstra built in 1968, houses the circulating book and the journal collections, the Harold E. Yuker Reference Library, the John W. Wydler Government Documents Depository, and the Business Development Center.

The first full day of school in District 150 is August 20, 2012. At Monday night's Board meeting the school board was prepared to vote on expanding the ELITE program, which has been highly touted as "successful" (although there is no data to prove it) into Harrison School. The founder of the ELITE Program, Carl Cannon was "caught by surprise" by this information and is not prepared to expand.
Now the vote has been tabled until the August 16, 2012, Board meeting – four (4) days before school starts. Here's the problem with that…the programming for Trewyn, which is totally based around the ELITE program is now up in the air, because everything about the ELITE contract is now open to renegotiation. As an extension of that debacle, the programming for Harrison is now up in the air.
The Superintendent "announced" in May that she was expanding the program. Why didn't the Board make sure that Administration was making the necessary plans in May, instead of waiting and finding out a few weeks before school starts that as a result of the ELITE snafu, they have major programming issues at two of the inner city schools that need the most planning and attention?
Monday, the board tabled a vote to renew the one-year licensing agreement with Cannon for use of intellectual property rights for ELITE at Trewyn until the Aug. 16 board meeting. Delaying the vote gives them a chance to settle questions about who can make decisions to carry the program to other schools - Cannon or the park district.
District 150 Superintendent Grenita Lathan announced plans to start the program at a second school during her State of the Schools address in May. She eventually decided to expand the program to Harrison. Neither Cannon nor the park district has made public pronouncements about expanding the program this year.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A second former Alabama prison guard has pleaded guilty to being involved in the severe beating of an inmate and helping other prison employees cover it up when the inmate died.
Matthew Davidson pleaded guilty Tuesday afternoon in Montgomery to two counts of violating the civil rights of an inmate and one count of conspiring with other offices to hide it. Davidson could face up to 20 years in prison. But as part of a plea deal, prosecutors agreed not to recommend more than 11.
Another former guard, Scottie Glenn, pleaded guilty in federal court in November 2011 to civil rights and conspiracy charges. Prosecutors agreed to recommend no more than eight years in prison.
Two other former prison employees await trial in the 2010 beating death of Rocrast Mack.

Customer Reviews
The Temps de Vivre hotel is well situated in the centre of Roscoff, although the recently introduced limited parking in the square makes it less convenient than in previous years. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful throughout our week's stay. Our room was fine, being clean and comfortable and nice and quiet. On the downside we were alongside a courtyard, overlooked by the higher Ibis hotel, and therefore we had no outlook. For a seven day stay there wasn't much hanging space for clothes. The breakfast was good and more than adequate. We had ants in our room on one day and the proprietor took immediate action, with a vacuum cleaner and ant powder - this must have worked as we weren't bothered by ants again. Mr & Mrs Williamson, May 2013
This is a very good hotel if you are seeking a peaceful and relaxing break. The sea, harbor and beautiful beach are a stone's throw away and although you can't get a view of them from the rooms you benefit from the fresh sea air. This small hotel sits in a quiet square with a church opposite and just around the corner from a multitude of small shops, traditional creperies and restaurants. There is plenty of parking in the car park opposite too. The staff are very friendly, attentive and speak both French and English. There is no restaurant in the hotel which was no problem given its location and you can order drinks into your room (at an extra charge). A traditional continental breakfast is served downstairs or in your room if you prefer. My only small frustration was that there was no tea making facility in the room itself. The Thomas Party, April 2013
This hotel is comfortable, clean, warm and convenient and the hostess is helpful and friendly, she speaks English if needed and was happy to look after our bags on arrival and at the end of our stay. The clue that you can hear the church clock strike is in the description that the hotel is near the church. Breakfasts were plentiful and rooms a good size. It is nice and very convenient just to pop back to the hotel after lunch or a trip to the shops. We went as foot passengers on a three day trip and had fun investigating the trains and buses in and out of Roscoff. Heather Childe, October/November 2012
We have stopped in this hotel before and it is just as good. It is nice to go for a short break with a bit of luxury & good value with your short break deals would recommend anytime. Robert & Maureen Ayres, October 2012
Best hotel worth paying a little extra for! Margaret & Vivian Lewis, September 2012
Extremely comfortable beds and a very quiet hotel. Perfect sleep! Breakfast is plentiful, local cakes, breads, pastries, yoghurts, fruits and preserves just keep coming. Fine coffee and tea to compliment! Get up early or you'll not have room for lunch! Book a sea view if you can, it's worth it. Matthew & Kruawan Higham, September 2012

It seems that GoldieBlox and the Beastie Boys haven't found a resolution to their conflict over the toy company's use of a parody of the band's song "Girls" in an advertisement, despite GoldieBlox's conciliatory open letter and decision to remove the song from the ad. The Beastie Boys have filed a countersuit against GoldieBlox, claiming that the parody of their song … Read More...
Funding for Gigabit Seattle fiber Internet project was in question from the start
By Todd Bishop and Taylor Soper at 11:10 am on 12/11/2013 | 5 Comments
A year ago this week, Gigabit Squared, a "digital economic development" company operating out of Cincinnati, Ohio, announced a deal with Seattle officials to bring ultra high-speed Internet service to homes and businesses here — taking advantage of unused capacity in the city's 500 miles of fiber-optic cabling. Mayor Mike McGinn, gearing up for his re-election … Read More...
Mayor McGinn: Seattle should create a public fiber Internet utility if Gigabit Squared fails
By Taylor Soper at 11:07 am on 12/11/2013 | 2 Comments
The ambitious plans to implement a high-speed gigabit Internet network in 14 Seattle neighborhoods seem to be falling apart. Financial problems are forcing Gigabit Squared, the company behind the project, to delay efforts. Even though outgoing Mayor Mike McGinn, who acknowledged this setback in an interview with GeekWire on Monday, won't be around to handle this issue, he … Read More...

Cisco originally filed the suit because it said it feared … Read More...

I'm a US citizen, and would like to start an internet company in the US, however I don't live in the US. As my kind of work can be done virtually, a physical presence isn't necessary. Typically when people ask questions about which state to incorporate it, the standard advice is to incorporate in the state that you live in.
However, since I don't live in any state, does it matter? Couldn't I just pick a place like Wyoming that has no state corporate taxes, instead of just going with the state I was born in?

Last week we met Jamar, an 11-year-old little brother as we spent the afternoon at Mr. Gatti's playing games and having a little fun.
Jamar is lucky that he already has a brother named Lamar, but both are looking for that older male influence in their life.
11-year old Jamar and Lamar are very competitive...whther it's on a motorcycle arcade game or miniature bowling...they are constantly trying to outdo the other...and being the first to get a big brother is no exception.
"I want to gplay play video games, go to the park, play football, basketball, go to Miami, go to New York, go to Dallas."
Lamar likes most young men his age is into video games...and not the occasional play it once in a while type of game. Both of these guys love to play and play often.
"Play video games together and play football."
And like most brothers, they do hang out together a lot, but also know the importance of having an older guy in their life.
"If he needs help, I'll help him.
"What if you need help?"
"He'll help me."
Video games and a fun day at the arcade aside, Lamar, his brother Jamar and a host of other young men have joined the ever growing list of little brothers who are in need of a big brother in their life. And until volunteeers come forward and those matches occur, the others and Lamar, will be waiting.

Not for me, just not a fan of random graphic texture and text. Too...easy? It seems? I'm sure it's not, I can't do it, but that's what it comes off as. You can probably tell I'm no graphic designer.

@GeriMars if compare to anothersite.. $13 for shipping in 7-10 days.. and teefury $24 for 1-2 weeks.. if i in US it is no a problem.. but i/m from malaysia - i buy this tshirt for $9 and shipping $24 = $33 it too much for tshirt.. -

The 7 ways to brew coffee |
© 2003 The George Howell Coffee Company The proper kind of brewing equipment is essential to get all of the flavor and aroma from a cup of coffee. There is a vast array of brewing devices available on the market. About 99% of them produce coffee in one of the seven brewing principles outlined here. Some of these brewing methods—such as the percolator—produce a poor cup of coffee. Most, however, yield coffee ranging from good to superior. There is no single correct or best way to brew a cup of coffee. You are the best judge of what particular brewing method is most likely to produce the kind of coffee most pleasing to your taste buds.Extraction and Grind No more than 23% of the coffee bean should be dissolved in hot water during the brewing process. Extracting more than this produces bitterness and other harsh flavors. The longer the coffee is in contact with water, the larger the grind required (to slow the extraction rate). The theory behind this is rather simple: The more coffee surface area exposed, the faster the extraction. An espresso takes seconds, and therefore requires a fine grind, whereas a French press, which takes minutes, requires a moderately coarse grind. For quality results, choose the correct grind to match your method of brewing. 1. TURKISHGRIND: PULVERIZED 2. PERCOLATORGRIND: COARSE 3. REGULAR DRIPGRINDS: The Neapolitan Flip-Drip is one of the more unique devices available. Coffee is placed inside a metal filter between a water tank and a collection tank, and the apparatus is placed on a stove. When the water comes to a boil, the device is removed from the stove. After the water cools for a second, it is flipped over, and the hot water slowly drips through into the collection tank. The resulting cup is very smooth. For this method to work properly, the grind must be exact. This may take a little trial and error. 4. PLUNGERGRIND: MEDIUM COARSE 5. VACUUMGRIND: COARSE 6. COLD WATERGRIND: COARSE 7. ESPRESSOGRINDS: How To Grind for Drip CoffeeJust print at 100% and compare your grinds with the ones on the sheet. |

Today, Mozilla announced the 2013 class of Knight-Mozilla Open News Fellows. The program, funded by the Knight Foundation, embeds smart developers in some of the world's best newsrooms for 10 months — among them ours. The 2012 fellows are also working at the BBC, The Guardian, Zeit Online and Al Jazeera. In 2013, three other leading news organizations will be participating, including The New York Times.
Our fellow this year has been Dan Schultz, who has been working in our development team and will continue on for 5 more months. Dan has created a tremendous connection into the MIT media lab and has been experimenting with the data mining of closed captions and working on a project to rebuild Boston.com's quiz tool (among other cool things).
In 2013, we will be joined by Sonya Song, who has degrees in Computer Science from Tsinghua University in Beijing, the country's leading university, and a Master of Philosophy in Journalism from The University of Hong Kong.
Song worked as a journalist and columnist focusing on the Internet, online media and technology sectors at various news outlets. Her writings have touched on a full range of China's new media sector, including coverage of companies as diverse as CCTV, Google China, Baidu.com, Sohu.com, QQ.com, Sina.com, Taihe Rye Music, and numerous start-ups.Sonya is fluent in not only English and Chinese but also Perl, Python, PHP, and Javascript.
We are excited to have Sonya be joining us early next year. Here's more on the program from the Nieman Journalism Lab.
Sonya isn't the only new face who'll be helping us innovate. Through a separate program with the Knight Foundation, we have received a grant to hire two full time staffers to create a connection to the MIT Media Lab and other Boston area universities. We've posted the two new positions, a Creative Technologist and a New Media Catalyst, who will be working in the Globe Lab and finding ways to grow our audience, tell stories, and connect us more deeply to Boston's top universities to explore new ideas. We will also offer fellowships during winter and summer breaks for students to join us to work on interesting projects.
Chris Marstall has some more details on the positions, as well as a celebrity photo from the Lab.

Flint to consider consolidation as a way to save money
This Wednesday, Flint City Council will consider whether consolidation could be in the city's future.
The Flint Journal reports that a council committee will take up a resolution this Wednesday, with a final decision from council coming next Monday:
Government consolidation in Michigan has been a hot topic since Gov. Rick Snyder told local communities that they would lose out on additional state aid unless they showed a commitment to share services with others to save taxpayer dollars.
Snyder set a Jan. 1 deadline for governments to submit consolidation plans if they want to receive a share of a $200-million pool of funds.
Several local communities, including Burton, Clio, Davison and Davison Township, have already joined the initiative.
The consolidation initiative is known as Future Genesee and the Journal reports it includes the communities of Burton, Clio, Davison and Davison Township.

The most awesome Indo-Chinese combo! Let it be a road side van kitchen or some Chinese wok restaurant, this dish is always there on the menu and it every time tastes so damn good! Well, its one of those dishes which is quick and easy to make and yet there are high chances of you going wrong. If you follow the recipe right, believe me, they are real easy to make.Please do cook the rice by the draining method and not the absorption method.
Let us go to the Chinese Fried Rice first,
2 cups basmati/any long grain rice
3 tbsp Oil
1 medium sized red onion sliced thin
1/2 a cup of chopped Bell Peppers (I have used green and red)
Around 10-12 Beans Finely Chopped
1 Carrot Finely Chopped
1/2 cup of Cabbage Finely Chopped
2 Green Onions Finely Chopped (for garnishing)
2-3 Green Chilies cut lenghtwise
1 tsp Garlic Chopped Finely
1 tbl spn Ginger-Garlic paste
2 tbsp Soya Sauce
1 tbl spn of vinegar
pinch of ajinomoto
2-3 tbsp tomato-red chilli sauce (depending on how much spicy you want it)
1/2 tsp of fresh white/black pepper
Salt to taste
Method:- (Rice cooked by draining method)
Wash and soak the rice in enough water for half hour and drain. wash the rice again. This repeated washing takes out the extra starch out and avoids the rice from being sticky when cooked.
Boil 4 1/2 glasses of water and boil. Add rice and little salt.
Cook uncovered on low heat till rice is tender.
Do not to overcook the rice. Each grain of rice should be separate.
When rice is done (cooked and separate), drain the rice using a sieve and and wash the rice with cold water. Wait till all the water seeps through.
Heat oil in a wok/large pan and add chopped garlic.
Add the onions, ginger-garlic paste and green chillies, Fry well til onions get transparent.
Then add all the chopped vegetables and stir fry. They need to be cook and yet crisp. Do not cover and cook. They become soggy. Stir continuously so that the veggies do not burn.
Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked rice and mix well.
Mix the soya sauce, vinegar and chilli sauce to it. Mix well but do it carefully so that the rice doesn't break.
Add salt, ajinomoto and pepper.
Cook the chinese fried rice for 2 minutes.
Garnish with green onions and serve hot.
Veg Manchurian:-
1. For the veg balls/dumplings:-
2. For the manchurian sauce:-
1 tsp of vinegar
1. Frying the veg manchurian balls:-
I used the healthy way of frying these. Use a paniyaaram/appe/puff pan cake pan with 1 tsp of oil for each ball.
Mix all of the ingredients for the balls and keep aside for half hour.
Sprinkle some water to bind the ingredients for the balls. The veggies give out some water themselves, so add as little water as possible.
Fry them on both sides with 1 tsp of oil for each ball in an appe pan.
These can be served as an appetizer too. They are nice and crisp.
2. Make the sauce:-
Saute for a minute and add salt, chilli powder, tomato sauce, vinegar and soya sauce.
Add 1 cup of water to it and when it starts to boil, add the cornstarch paste.
10 minutes before serving, add the manchurian balls.
Add the top green portion of the spring onions (green onions) on top.
Serve hot with Fried Rice.

Cherie Currie
Cherie Currie
Born on November 30, 1959, in Los Angeles, Cherie Currie secured her place in the annals of rock music as a member of the seminal girl band the Runaways. However, it was her twin sister, Marie Currie, who was actually offered a spot in the band. Approached in a club by group Svengali Kim Fowley and guitarist Joan Jett, Marie Currie passed on the opportunity, but Cherie Currie took the chance, auditioning for the fledgling act and getting the nod as lead singer. Quickly earning a record deal, the Runaways suffered from being viewed as a novelty and Currie's suggestive attire only served to give credence to naysayers. Currie would appear on the group's first three releases, The Runaways, Waitin' for the Night, and Live in Japan (Japan being where the band achieved its greatest level of success, notching several gold records and a rabid group of followers). The albums managed little commercial success in the States, barely eking out a place on the charts, but in years to come the Runaways' reputation as pioneers would increase considerably and their body of work would be reassessed in light of its influence on a generation of female musicians.

Hotsos 2013 – From Unstructured to Structured…
0It has been a while that I have been attending Hotsos, although that is how it feels. In 2011 I flew to Hotsos to see, among others presentations from Maria Colgan, but I ended up being sick the whole week while learning on my hotel room to enjoy American TV. In 2012 I skipped Hotsos (10th year anniversary) thinking my schedule was too full with international presentations, but alas, that agenda cleared up expectantly, so in the end I missed out on some big conferences as a presenter and/or attendee.
Hotsos?You don't know the Hotsos Symposium? The Hotsos Symposium is, in my honest opinion, is one of the most interesting best symposiums/conferences out there, when you goal is learning all about (Oracle) performance. This yearly happening takes place in Irving, Texas, in an Hotel on an isolated location somewhere nearby a highway some miles from Dallas downtown. When I read that Maria Colgan would do the Hotsos Training Day (an extra symposium option), without even seeing the rest of the symposium agenda, I knew I had to attend. Maria is a very natural gifted speaker and with her comfy way of addressing (difficult) problems and solutions, she nowadays easily attracts the same More >

The dichotomy between the paths of first-round NBA draft picks and second-round choices is a stark one. First rounders parade across the stage of New York, exchange awkward hugs with David Stern and instantly become the darlings of their new team. Conversely, choices in the 2nd round are mere footnotes in NBA history, are guaranteed nothing and have to ward off the starving D-Leaguers and undrafted free agents who are all gunning for the last spot or two on the roster.
While the glitz and glamour of being an early selection in the NBA draft is nowhere to be found from pick 31 on, the 2nd round can prove to be a veritable treasure trove of raw materials primed to be molded into valuable rotation players or even into potential All-Stars. Hitting pay dirt on a 2nd-round afterthought has the potential to fast-forward the rebuilding process or to vault a playoff team into conference contention.
Obviously, there's no magic divining rod to lead the Jazz to this year's Paul Millsap or Manu Ginobili. However, there are certain indicators that help highlight potential 2nd-round breakthroughs.
How Fixable is the Flaw?
Obviously, every player slated to go in the 2nd round has his fair share of flaws and weaknesses, most of them significant enough to cast severe doubt on whether or not each respective prospect will ever play meaningful minutes in the league. If these flaws can be overcome, either through coaching, hard work or discipline, the player's ceiling rockets upward.
Do the Strengths Significantly Outweigh the Weaknesses?
Though he was a 1st-round pick, let's examine Steve Nash as an example. Nash earned multiple league MVPs and All-Star appearances despite being a sieve on defense. Despite the large deficiency, Nash achieved superstardom by virtue of his stellar shooting and pure point guard skills. If the 2nd-round prospect in question has one or two dominant skills, it could more than compensate for any weaknesses that shoved him down draft boards.
Using these indicators, four 2013 prospects projected to go in the 2nd round stand out:
C.J. Leslie
Leslie's explosive athleticism and penchant for rim-rattling dunks make him one of the more intriguing 2nd-round prospects. He combined his athleticism and impressive length well at N.C. State and was a very disruptive defensive presence. His impressive 7.4 rebounds-per-game average makes Leslie and even more tantalizing prospect.
Leslie's primary flaws revolve around an inconsistent motor and proclivity to disappear at times during his time with the Wolfpack. His negative attitude and body language are major turn-offs to scouts, and explain his 2nd-round grade. If surrounded by the right type of coach and strong veteran teammates, Leslie could be a tremendous 2nd-round value if he decides to start caring.
Carrick Felix
Don't believe the rumors that Felix's inclusion was a homer pick due to his attending a college in Idaho prior to transferring to Arizona State; Felix cracks the list for multiple reasons. Felix is an athletic hustle player capable of defending both wing positions. His offensive game is unrefined, if not nonexistent, which is the reason for Felix not being a more highly touted prospect.
The primary indicator that Felix has the potential to develop into a solid NBA player is his track record; namely, the improvements he made each year in college. With a tenacious player like Felix who is already accustomed to playing hard every night, he could get by in the NBA strictly because of his impressive rebounding and defensive skills. If Felix finds himself in the right system with an offensive-minded coach who can help him develop a more in-depth offensive skill set, he could drastically outplay his draft position.
Archie Goodwin
It's pretty clear Archie Goodwin made a mistake declaring for the 2013 NBA draft. There's a puncher's chance that whichever team takes a gamble on Goodwin will profit from his poor decision.
Goodwin is raw as they come. His explosive athleticism, a calling card of Kentucky Wildcat basketball, seems to be an indicator of the massive potential Goodwin has. Goodwin doesn't seem to understand quite how to put all the pieces together yet and how to properly utilize his athleticism. If a team has the patience to deal with Goodwin's growing pains and the right coach to help him develop, then Goodwin could be one of the best second round draft picks since Ginobili.
Peyton Siva
Peyton Siva is quite possibly the hardest sell of all four players. His diminutive stature is one weakness that cannot be corrected. Siva, who will turn 23 in October, is one of the older players in this draft, which is another factor that cannot be "corrected" that may cause some teams to shy away.
Siva was included on this list because of his unique combination of facilitation skills, explosive athleticism and leadership intangibles. A national champion in his senior season at Louisville, Siva was known for his contagious attitude and perpetually playing with emotion. Siva will have to improve his substandard shooting for his success to translate to the NBA, but such an improvement is certainly not out of the question for a player who takes as much pride in his game as Siva does.
