Volunteers needed for annual river cleanup at Osborne Park
Citizen Staff Reports 04/09/12
The 13th annual James River Regional Cleanup will take place at multiple sites among several river localities on Saturday, June 9 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Volunteers will spend the morning sprucing up the river and several tributary streams by picking up trash.
In addition to volunteers who clean along shoreline areas and trails, boaters also play a crucial role. Paddlers and power-boaters are able to collect floating trash and access shoreline trash that's difficult to reach by foot. Much of the trash collected is the result of litter that is carried by rain runoff along roadside ditches to streams, and eventually to the James River. Sponsored by the James River Advisory Council, in cooperation with the James River Association, the James River Regional Cleanup is the largest one-day river cleanup in the region. Last year, volunteers collected hundreds of bags of trash and recyclable materials in just a few hours. Henrico County's cleanup site is located at Osborne Park and Boat Landing.

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

Inside the Octagon
At Montreal
Georges St. Pierre def. Nick Diaz via unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-45)
Jake Ellenberger def. Nate Marquardt via knockout (punches) - Round 1, 3:00
Chris Camozzi def. Nick Ring via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Mike Ricci def. Colin Fletcher via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
For the first time in his career, Jimmy Quinlan walked into the cage as an underdog.
But on last night's episode of "The Ultimate Fighter 17," the Methuen native persevered, submitting Clint Hester via rear-naked choke in the second round.
Chuck O'Neil isn't looking for the easy fight.
It's not his style.
That's evident by the welterweight's latest plea to lock horns with former UFC title contender Jon Fitch. The 27-year-old Falmouth native said he, like many, was surprised when Fitch, one of the top 170-pounders in the world, was let go by the UFC last week.
But when he heard the noise he immediately took to Twitter lobbying World Series of Fighting president Ray Sefo, who's in talks with Fitch, for the fight.
Dan Lauzon (16-4) will be returning to the cage on April 12 against Luis Felix (9-6) for CES MMA at the Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I.
The 24-year-old UFC veteran has been out of action for nearly a year and a half but 2013 is expected to be a busy one for the lightweight. After the fight with Felix, Lauzon is expected to fight this summer for the World Series of Fighting, which airs on NBC Sports.
Ronda Rousey def. Liz Carmouche via submission (armbar) - Round 1, 4:49
Lyoto Machida def. Dan Henderson via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Urijah Faber def. Ivan Menjivar via submission (rear-naked choke) - Round 1, 4:34
Court McGee def. Josh Neer via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Robbie Lawler def. Josh Koscheck via TKO (strikes) - Round 1, 3:57
Josh Grispi's run with the UFC has come to an end.
The featherweight was one of 16 fighters released from the promotion today. The 24-year-old Plympton native went 0-4 in the UFC, most recently losing to Andy Ogle at UFC on Fuel TV.
The news, first reported by MMAFighting, concludes a frustrating run for Grispi (14-5). He came into the UFC after a widely successful run in the WEC and was considered one of the best featherweights in the world.
In case you missed it, here are the first two episodes of UFC Primetime: Rousey vs. Carmouche. Both episodes are excellent.
Episode 1:
Episode 2:
UFC on Fuel TV 7
At London
Renan Barao def. Michael McDonald via submission (arm-triangle choke) - Round 4, 3:57
Cub Swanson def. Dustin Poirier via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
Jimi Manuwa def. Cyrille Diabate via TKO (leg injury) - Round 1, 5:00
Gunnar Nelson def. Jorge Santiago via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27)
It was a cruel twist of fate.
Josh Grispi spent nearly two and a half minutes of the first round with his opponent, Andy Ogle, in a triangle choke.
For 2:42 to be exact.
For those few minutes the Plympton native looked to be one tap away from his first win in the UFC after losing three straight. But as fate would have it, Grispi wouldn't get that submission. Instead, Ogle fought out and spent the remaining minute of the first round on top in Grispi's guard.
Tonight at "UFC on Fuel TV 7," Josh Grispi hopes to get back on track.
The Plympton native will take on fellow featherweight Andy Ogle on the preliminary card, which airs live on Facebook. Grispi, who is on a three-fight losing streak, said he's hoping to make the most out of this opportunity.

I regret buying iPad Mini
Today i'm telling my short experience of why i regret buying an ipad mini. I'been using it for the last week, all day and all night to just ensure i give a fair analysis/review.
So the main reason i regret is because i'm freaking addicted to it LOLOLOL. Okey, i'm 21 and this gadget is the best i've ever own. Really, the build quality is amazing, the size is awesome, perfect size for a tablet, i am really happy i sold my ipad 2. Never going back to a size like that. So, the ergonomics are perfect. I think the design is gorgeous, like my iphone 5. Playing games is SOOOOO comfortable, a lot better than full size ipad. Web browsing is perfect. Everything is smooth, hands down to apple. BUT, the only drawback is obviously then non-retina display. The actual display is acceptable, most of the time is not bothering me, but in text or the keyboard you can easily see the pixels. But i think is not a deal braker. The other bad thing (for me) is IOS. Its a great OS, smooth as a baby ass, but it should have more functions, more appealing to the eye, its stale, like it or not, android is ahead. I Hope ios7 brings some new things to mobile products. However, the positive things of this tablet overrides the bad ones I highly recommend this tablet, to anyone, retina will come soon. if you can, buy the ipad mini, its amazing.

An in-dash audio entertainment system
One of the coolest things I'm seeing people do with iPad minis is installing them as in-dash units in cars. Internet, music, GPS, everything at your fingertips at a fraction of the cost of (less powerful) factory units. Enjoy your iPad!

Nothing wrong with being addicted to it. I use mine for everything now, best use I have for it right now is when I travel, my wife bought me the HDMI accessory so I can watch my videos on the hotel TV now. I love it.

I returned my iPad Mini.
That thing was amazing. Only thing wrong was the no Retina Display. Once the Retina Display comes out i'll be more than happy to buy a 32GB Wi-Fi IPM2. |

I bought a mini when it first came out - loved the size and weight. But the screen bothered me (It could easily be my eyes - im young with good eye sight - I thought/think).
Returned mini - now my iPad 1 is to big/heavy. But it is paid for and I had it for 2/12 years cannot let go! |

I've said it many times, while it might be great to have a retina screen, I'm perfectly content with the screen and the mini. I have no buyers remorse.

I only have two regrets with my mini purchase, ok maybe three.
1. I really wanted an A6 or at least a A5 with 1GB RAM. I think the mini is handicapped with only 512mb RAM. 2. The 128GB option on the iPad 4. Wish that was available for the mini. 3. The LONG delay from the wifi mini's release to me receiving my LTE mini. A month is a long time in tech circles. Honestly, I could care less about a retina display on the mini, I just want processor, storage and RAM. I found it funny that after I gave my wife the iPad 1, I picked it up last weekend and was surprised by the weight after using the mini exclusively for over a month.

Assembly for this shoe rack is simple all you do is snap on the shelves to the metal bar, and as long as you don't push with it crooked it won't snap off like some of the other reviewers have stated. I found it best to push it down towards the floor with the metal bar on the ground. My boots I placed on the top shelf and fit great! My more flexible boots also fit and you just lay the rest to the side. You also can fit more summer sandals by stacking them on top of each other. What's great is that nothing can fall through so you can lean pairs of shoes against each other. I found that for [$] dollars this was a great sell and you aren't limited to small squares like other shoe organizers. I found it to be durable I dragged it around my bedroom with shoes on it and nothing broke. I love it! see less

I'm so excited about this that I just had to write a review. I just bought this last night and it's the best purchase I have ever made. It worked perfectly and it doesn't seem so flimsy like other shoe racks! I held maybe 20-30 of my shoes and i put all my boots at the top. I don't really know what people are talking about when they say their heels wouldn't stand up because all you have to do is hang the heel over the backside! That worked perfectly for me! Now I do have a small foot, size 6, which i'm sure helped my particular situation but I used the rack to hold every single one of my heels and put my flats in one of those hanging racks. When I put it together I was outside of my closet, then i loaded up all my shoes and DRAGGED it to the back of my walk in closet and it didn't come apart at all. I finally have a real shoe solution, for less than 25 bucks see less

I wanted a shoe rack that would not cost me no more [$] and not made of plastic. This is a wonderful shoe rack. I enjoy the three levels and that the rods are extendable. Overall this a good shoe rack for the money. I dont have any problems except for one pair of my shoes that has a narrower heel at the tip tends to occasionally slip between the bars but that is probly due to the style of the shoe. Other than that no complaints. I got this from the local target in my area. see less

I dont know why people wrote bad reviews, I also put mine together in like 10min and its sturdy and simple.

I like that this rack is expandable and held my size 5 1/2 shoes! The bars on some shoe racks are spaced too far apart and don't hold small sized shoes. I wish, however, that it was sturdier and that the poles were soldered to the ends so that they didn't have to be screwed in. see less

It's not bad, but can be very frustrating because if you even slightly bump it, all the shoes fall off! Where mine fits, it is constantly getting bumped so I am always putting the shoes gingerly back on it and trying not to touch it, and it's very frustrating! I guess you get what you paid for, though, right? see less

Is Obama's Corporate Tax Plan A Good Idea? >
U.S. Corporate Tax Code Is Terribly Inefficient
The president advances a coherent if imperfect framework that includes excellent proposals
February 24, 2012
Our corporate income tax code is terribly inefficient: Its tax rate is one of the highest in the developed world, yet it raises less revenue than most other wealthy countries (as a share of the economy) because it is riddled with loopholes and subsidies. Some large U.S. businesses are completely exempt from the tax.
Recognizing that the system is ripe for reform, the president has advanced a coherent framework that includes some excellent proposals—particularly a minimum tax on the foreign profits of U.S.-based multinationals.
[Check out our editorial cartoons on President Obama.]
Right now the tax code is tilted in favor of investments overseas, not here at home. It also encourages multinationals to shift profits earned in the United States into the Cayman Islands and other foreign tax havens. Corporate lobbyists are pressuring Congress to go even further and set the U.S. tax rate on foreign profits at zero. To his credit, the president has resisted this lobbying campaign, proposing instead a minimum tax on foreign profits to make sure the tax code is not stacked against U.S. production by multinationals.
The main problem with the president's proposal is that it won't reduce budget deficits. It only aims at "revenue neutrality"—that is, to raise the same amount of money as the current corporate tax system. This would be acceptable if the country were on a strong, sustainable budget path, but we're not.
[Five Ways to Spin Obama's Tax Plan.]
To rein in long-term deficits, policymakers will face wrenching choices that are likely to put downward pressure on investments in science research, infrastructure, and education, among other things—areas where well-designed investments hold the promise of boosting productivity and hence future economic growth. The corporate sector itself has a stake both in the nation's long-term fiscal sustainability and in adequate productivity-increasing investments.
The 2013 budget that the president issued earlier this month proposed more than $200 billion in deficit reduction by shrinking corporate tax breaks. Given the sacrifices that policymakers are considering in virtually every other part of the budget—from Medicare to defense—this would be a better revenue target for corporate tax reform than revenue neutrality.

Rap or hike to base of climbs on south side of canyon, immediately below Cascade Creek's lower pool (see photo of Jen). Many choices for ice and mixed. Easiest being obious gully just climber's right of center. Rap shelf above climbs offers relatively easy TR placement....just watch your step. There is a steep hike out just east, or downstream, of these climbs (on the south side) that tops ou near the anchors.
A few screws for routes up to~60ft.Quick draws for bolts.
Long slings/cordelettes for rap/TR anchor.
The photo in the route description section shows what _was_ the main flow in March of 2004 (see action photo below). The flow to the right of it had not touched down all season. The other flow shown below from March 2004 was farthest right.
Thanks Theo. The area along the tall cliff band on the south side of the canyon, at the foot of the lower pool, is really what I meant when I wrote "Main Flows". This includes all of what is pictured up to this point. Cheers....Eddy
Ok! I get it. In that case, the first picture that I posted below should read "Main Flow, March 2004, WI2-3", and the second should read "Far Left Major Flow, March 2004, WI4(?) TR or M?? on lead for the ten feet above the pillar". Thanks.
Yea...I don't know if these flows have names. They form regularly and are consistent in their difficulty and morphology. I was just refering to this section as "Main Flows" to distinguish them from the mixed stuff on the north side of the canyon. Cheers.

Taiwan Food and Drink Report 2012
Report description
We remain cautious on the near-term retail outlook for Taiwan. A bleak outlook on the global economic environment, especially that of Taiwan's major trade partners – China, the US and Japan – are expected to have adverse ramifications on the country's export sector. This phenomenon could potentially weigh on domestic consumer sentiment, prompting consumers to keep a tighter rein over their purse strings in 2012. Amid an increasingly cautious spending mood among local consumers, purchases of higher-value consumer products are unlikely to hold up strongly over the coming quarters. Over the long term BMI is still forecasting reasonably strong growth in the consumer sector to 2016, driven by sustained consumer demand, the opening up of the tourism sector, premiumisation and the further development of the retail sector.
Headline Industry Data (local currency) ?? 2012 per capita food consumption (value): +2.2%; forecast to 2016:+15.8% ?? 2012 alcoholic drinks sales (volume): +1.7%; forecast to 2016: +11.2% ?? 2012 soft drinks sales (value): +5.9%; forecast to 2016: +45.4% ?? 2012 mass grocery retail sales: +2.95%; forecast to 2016: +23.6%
Key Company Trends Branding And Diversification To Strengthen Uni-President's Prospects – Uni-President Enterprises is Taiwan's largest diversified food and beverage company by some distance. The company manufactures dairy products, baked goods, health foods, instant noodles and beverages. Product diversification has protected Uni-President to some extent from slowdowns in certain product categories, and this will remain a focus for the company. To retain its robust growth momentum, Uni-President will also have to focus its expansion efforts on overseas markets and the company's expansions in high-growth regional markets such as Thailand, China and Indonesia should allow it to reap fruitful rewards.
Key Risks to Outlook Falling exports – The key risk to our forecasts is a possible collapse in Taiwan's export sector as there remains a material risk from economic activity in China, the US and Europe taking a turn for the worse. External demand conditions look increasingly precarious, especially with credit tightening measures on the mainland clearly starting to display efficacy, constricting domestic demand and thus ultimately hurting Taiwan's exports. Should we see an acute deterioration in US and Europe economic activity or a hard-landing in China, we would expect Taiwan's economic growth and consumer spending to be hit.

Free-DC is up - milestones for yesterday stinger608 passed 650,000 MGF Derp passed 3,000 ThE_MaD_ShOT passed 8,000 elemelek passed 5,000 Norton01 passed 2,000
You crunching up a storm. What the hell are you crunching on? Are you crunching 24/7? I got 5 rigs crunching now about 15 hrs a day.
I'm right behind ya at near 4,000 (pending validation) I'm using my 790GX with an unlocked X2 555 down-clocked to 2.8Ghz (80-90% CPU usage 24/7)..... contemplating going up to 3.4Ghz (this chip is very stable X4 @ 3.4 1.4v) at 2.8 and 1.38v I haven't gone over 46C yet with AC Freezer 7 v2 cooler *** EDIT- What are you running on your 5 systems? ***
2 are dual core x2's @ 2.6 , 1 is an Athlon 2650 E at whatever it is deciding to run at the moment pos but it does put out a few packets throughout the day, 1 is a P4EE @ 3.4 and the last is juice, Athlon xp 3200+. The only one that has run 24/7 is the athlon 2650.
Yeah neither of us is F-150 Raptor that's for sure..... I'll bet his setup emits a pale blue glow when it's running at night and his progress bars dance around like a graphic equalizer But... the journey of a 1,000 miles begins with a single step
Hell at night when he fires everything up the whole town dims down. He probably water cools and has a separate water tower just for his crunching rigs. But what I see he is not the top dog. Atleast by Boinic stats he not. Munkhtur is the top dog for TPU with 105k today alone where F-150 had 45k. Mine got screwed up yesterday and is down to 550 so far today where it has been over 1k.
Milestones Today Delta6326 passes 800,000 Zachary-85 passes 1,400,000 ThE_MaD_ShOT passes 9,000 MaelstromTPU passes 30,000 elemelek passes 8,000 Norton01 passes 3,000 Great work stoners and thanks for all the posts.
Over 4,500 points ATM.... 5,000+ by this evening * the business build I'm doing now may have to spend some time this weekend helping me get to 10K (3 more cores!) Ummm!..... I mean stress testing for stability *** EDIT- over 5,000 now ***
Hehe stress tests. Oh over 10k I am. At this some crap. Most of my results for today are pending validation. Damn near 30 pending. Those are worth close to 800 points. I'd be well over the 11k mark if it wasn't for that. Time for new project.
I'm waiting on a bunch too Over 5,500 total if they all come in today (about an hour left... I think???)
Milestones Today MGF Derp passes 4,000 KarL5275 passes 40,000 ThE_MaD_ShOT passes 10,000 elemelek passes 10,000 Norton01 passes 5,000 Graet stones. Crunch on and crunch harder.
Milestones Today Nosada passes 900,000 Norton01 passes 7,000 Great work Nosada, the big mill is in you're grabs. Big thanks too all that crunch for TPU.
I'm well over 13k now and my main 3 crunchers are working on some big projects right now. So when they get done those and validate I should be over 14k for the day. Edit let me refraze that. They are finishing up on big projects and have a few small ones to do ( about 4 hrs worth) then back to biggies again. edit: may take down 15k before the night is over. 20k goal is well within reach over the next couple days.

MARSALIS MUSIC NOTE: We wanted to share this interesting piece with you simply as "food for thought." We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Today we are inundated with noise. Noise of every kind. Conversation, traffic, dogs barking, music, commercials, noise. We are constantly bombarded with this noise until we are desensitized to it. After thinking quite a bit on this subject I turned to Google to see what others had said about this. It turns out that this is a hot-bed topic. The majority of the results I found were scholarly and business-management types of articles but nonetheless I think I may have found what I was looking for.

'Source Code' director: Marrying film, interactivity
AUSTIN, Texas--Duncan Jones has only made two films, but he's already developing a reputation as quite the science fiction auteur.
With 2009's "Moon," starring Sam Rockwell, and now "Source Code," starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Jones is becoming the kind of director that actors say they seek out because they want to share in his vision.
In "Source Code," which seems to be one part "Groundhog Day" and one part "Speed" with a heavy degree of sci-fi and technology thrown in, Jones created a world in which Gyllenhaal "wakes … Read more
