Changes in federal acquisition environment taking toll on vendors
Preliminary results from a Grant Thornton survey of contractors show profits, revenues and overall participation in the government market is down. The pressure from the administration's steps to reign in high risk contracts and reduce spending is having an impact on most contractors. The Navy, for example, is trying to be more disciplined in how it buys goods and services.

OMB begins to clarify industry's role in shared services
Agencies face a series of deadlines starting at the end of May to map out their plan to consolidate commodity IT. Vendors will, many times, be the suppliers of the shared service, said Scott Bernard, OMB's chief architect. OMB wants agencies to use the shared services strategy as a guide and the PortfolioStat sessions as the tool to figure out where opportunities exist.

VanRoekel helping Congress grasp benefits of cloud
The federal CIO said he's not concerned that the administration's cloud initiative will fall victim to the same types of roadblocks lawmakers set out for e-government seven years ago. VanRoekel said members of Congress need data on the value cloud computing brings. He also said vendor management organizations and mobile computing are among his short term priorities.

Best of SA 2012
Best Ice House, Best Michelada, Best Patio, Best Bar Patio
Published: April 25, 2012
1. The Friendly Spot
943 S Alamo, (210) 224-2337, thefriendlyspot.com
With so many wins to its credit, you might think The Friendly Spot, tucked away in a mixed-use neighborhood just outside of downtown, might be too crowded to qualify for the mellow, beer-soaked vibe one expects from a good ice house. Truth be told, competition for seating can get a little fierce for a chair in the shade — but options expand when the sun sets and the after-work crowd, who know their pleasures better than most, start to tumble past on foot, in cars, and on bikes. As patio bars go, it's picture-perfect: a nice view, a lot of outdoor seating, a solid if unspectacular food menu, and a mind-boggling assortment of chilly beers. (Those seeking a bit more variety in the food choices might want to head down the road to the Alamo Street Eat-Bar, run by Friendly Spot founders Jody and Steve Newman, featuring much of the Spot's charm as well as a rotating lineup of superb food trucks.) Entertainment is engaging without being overbearing: a band here, a short film there, big sporting events on a blow-up big screen. But the real attraction is delicious, reasonably-priced brews, including not-to-be-missed micheladas, served to a truly diverse and funky clientele of local residents, off-site regulars, liberated office drones, and a relaxed night crowd. The Spot is friendly to kids and pets (increasingly both found in push strollers, we might add) without losing its easy-going feel. The staff is well-informed, and will happily steer you in the direction of new and interesting beers, but they're never intrusive or aggressive.

What's in a Name?
The unprecedented decision by the Vatican to undertake an apostolic visitation to assess the quality of religious life in orders of sisters in the United States came as a big surprise to many people when it was announced in January. That surprise was doubled with the news two months later that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) will be conducting a doctrinal assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), which represents most of the leaders of US women religious.
But people who have been closely watching the deterioration of many of the women's religious orders in this country were not at all surprised that the Vatican initiated these assessments. Indeed, many sisters themselves have asked and prayed for Vatican attention to the condition of women's religious communities. – Catholic World Report
Do they want to be Catholic, or don't they? If not, they should stop calling themselves Catholic.

So I finally got the finger out of my donkey, and decided to make a sketchbook. My greatest passion lies in music, but I also love to draw (especially during math lessons...).
Most of my drawings are of people, although I'd love to learn how to draw landscapes as well. I like to put odd details in my art; hoping that watching them will be worth while.
My main weaknesses, when it comes to art, are drawing with pen (although I will submit pen illustrations as well), getting the eyes to look the same direction, shadowing (especially with pen) not making the nose to long...
I'm here to get better, and will be very happy if you give me constructive criticism. I know there are some extraordinary artists here, and that I have a lot to learn.
Thanks a lot

Order Next Day on full-size orders by 11:59 p.m. ET 12/22 for 12/24 delivery Details
This is the easiest and most elegant way to get what loks just like a salon manicure. NO dry time!! No smudging !! Lasts for 10-14 days. This is REAL polish Not stickers! Great product
These babies are awesome, they take a little longer to apply than regular nail polish would but they last SO long, no chipping or anything- TOTALLY WORTH IT!!
They lasted over a week and my nails tend to take a beating at work and putting them on is definitely not rocket science.
I was very satisfied that these appliques lasted over week looking great, compared to a regular polish manicure. They were easy to apply and looked cool & fun.
These nail polish appliqués were easy to put on, and had great staying power. No more chipped nail polish. The ones on my toes stayed for weeks !
These are so fun, and for lazy/bad nailpolish gals like me, so much easier than fussing with polish. My main complaint is that if you don't use them all at once (and who would? they're easy to split one tab between two nails), the sealer-packaging that is supposed to preserve the nail strips simply ... doesn't do that. At all.
I wish birch box had more color options to buy! This was the longest lasting polish I've ever worn and it never chipped in the 4 weeks I had it on. The fact that it comes off with nail polish remover makes it very, very easy!
I love these nail wraps. They are super easy to apply and last over a week. The color is fun, but not too crazy. I have tried many different brands of nail wraps and Incoco is the best of the best out there.
I really had fun with this product, I liked the blue and white pattern and they stayed on for a really long time and were not too difficult to put on. The only problem is it seems a little expensive to use all the time. I would maybe buy these for a special occasion but not to use all the time.
I really was looking forward to trying this product out when I found out I would be receiving a sample in my Birchbox. When I actually tried to use the product though I was a little disappointed. It's a great idea but just needs some tweaking. It was really hard to line them up and to file the strips down to the perfect length. I also think if these came in some more subtle colors that would be better too. I really love the color aqua blue but I'm not sure if I'd really love a bright blue pattern on my nails all day.

Hit a Home Run Baseball Cake Topper
Style 8662
This item is available online only. *
For all of those baseball sports fans, this is the cake topper that truly hits a home run!! The groom is about to throw the perfect pitch to his bride who is ready to swing!
Hit a Home Run Baseball Cake Topper Style 8662
So cute!
My fiance proposed after our softball game. The entire team was around us on the pitcher's mound & I never saw it coming. This wedding topper was PERFECT for us! What you don't see in the picture is that there is a tiny little "home plate" that comes with the bride! I just squealed when I saw it. :) I don't like it that you have to buy the pieces separately (really!?), but I guess at the same time some people might want to mix & match them? I don't know. (why?) I am excited to own these because they can sit on my mantle next to our Unity Cross after the wedding. What a great keepsake!

Just finished my third playthrough of the game and I have to say I'm more and more disappointed every time. My rating has gone from a 9 to a 7 and now to a 5 and I don't think I'll be playing anymore. This game is just far too shallow and not fun. For me a the fun factor of a strategy game is challenge=fun. My hardest difficulty level on civ 4 was king and I had a HELL of a time winning on that, this game prince is a breeze, (for some reason the default is chieftan, which a 5 year old xboxer could beat) , king is just as easy, and immortal is simple too, but with more war. The AI is completely ignorant, and the diplomacy feels like it's not even finished. Instead of putting a little mystery in which would have been good, they throw you into a dark tunnel and even your best friends of 4000 years will stab you in the back right after you go to war for them.
I have never been more disappointed with a game...civ rev was a close 2nd in the disappointment factor, but as a full blown sequel to civ IV, I didn't expect this hunk of casual trash. Outside of the battles, there is no kind of tactical, strategic thought needed. It's always obvious which improvements to make, and what to build in your cities, and since everything's empire wide, all stats are way more forgiving. You don't have to worry about health anymore, or individual city happiness. That's extremely unrealistic and basically dev hand holding. Occupied cities should be unhappy cities, period. The fact that I have an overflow of happiness shouldn't have anything to do with keeping an occupied city happy. Don't even get me started on the puppet thing, that's another way of developer hand holding: Less to manage and a bonus for managing less!!
Changing the combat was a really cool idea, and I was completely behind that from the second I heard civ 5 was coming out, but with this game's broken AI, there's absolutely no strategy to battles. I find it funny that they had 2 AI programmers and 10-20 artists, that to me doesn't make for a good strategy game, and shows exactly the kind of casual kiddy console audience they're going for.
Then you have the tech tree, which honestly should just be a single line since there's absolutely no variation, or need to plan anything out. Everything once again is just handed to the player. I'm so tired of developers deciding that easy=fun, it's ruining video games. There is absolutely no strategy in this game and outside of the one unit per tile and hexes, there are zero improvements over any iteration of Civ. Even Civ Rev was better than this game.
I've been playing Civilization since the first one came out for SNES. I'm 28 years old, and can't wrap my head around these casual crap games that come out anymore. Ever since the Nintendo Wii came out game developers think that micromanagement, strategy and thinking your way through problems isn't fun..well it's not for console kids who play FPS all day and housewives who play cookin mama, but to the main fan base of Civilization who have kept this game going for 20 years, those are EXACTLY what we want and expect in a civ game and to have anything less is an insult to us hardcore fans. Any Civ veteran who says this game is nearly as good as any iteration thus far is kidding themselves and will realize that with a few more playthroughs. Firaxis needs to pull their heads out of their butts for this one and realize that instead of trying to attract new console kiddies, they need to keep their original fanbase happy, because the casual gamers with the "press start to win" mentality aren't the ones who are going to keep civ going....we are.

Two Sides Responds to Google's "Go Paperless in 2013" Campaign
Two Sides sends open letter to Mr Eric Schmidt, Chairman and CEO of Google in response to the newly announced 'Go Paperless in 2013' campaign.
The following open letter has been sent to Mr. Eric Schmidt of Google and highlights Two Sides' concerns that Google and others are trying to promote their services as environmentally preferable to print and paper whereas there is significant evidence that electronic communication, and Google's activities in particular, carry a significant and increasing environmental footprint.
Mr. Eric Schmidt
Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer
Google Inc.
Mountain View, CA
Dear Mr Schmidt,
We read with some incredulity the news of Google's encouragement to consumers to 'Go Paperless in 2013'. This initiative is accompanied by pictures of trees and US recycling data that presumably is intended to highlight the environmental benefits that will arise from 'going paperless'. http://www.paperless2013.org/.
Google is joined in the project by US based organisations HelloFax, an online fax service; Manilla, an online bill management service; HelloSign, an e-signature service; Expensify, an online expense reporting service; Xero, an online business accounting service; and Fujitsu, which makes the ScanSnap scanner.
While the products and services delivered by Google are to be admired, this new initiative is clearly another example of a self interested organisation using an environmentally focussed marketing campaign to promote its services while ignoring its own impact upon the environment.
Let's consider the facts:
Google's own environmental impact is astounding (1).
* Google uses 2.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. This would power 207,000 US homes for one year, or about 41 Empire State Buildings.
* Data centre power use accounts for roughly 2 per cent of the US's annual electricity consumption.
* For every kilowatt-hour used for computing in a typical data centre, nearly a whole additional kilowatt-hour is used for running cooling and heating systems.
* 100 searches on Google is equivalent to burning a 60 watt light bulb for 20 minutes, using 0.03Kwh electricity and 20 gms of carbon dioxide.
* 100 minutes of YouTube video is equivalent to burning a 60 watt light bulb for 13 minutes, using 0.02 Kwh of electricity and 13 gms of carbon dioxide.
* Every gmail user uses 2.2Kwh energy every year and generates 1.2kg of carbon dioxide.
Greenpeace (2) highlights that E-waste is now the fastest growing component of the municipal solid waste stream. In Europe e-waste is increasing at three to five percent a year, almost three times faster than the total waste stream. The amount of electronic products discarded globally has skyrocketed recently, with 20-50 million tonnes generated every year. Electronic waste (e-waste) now makes up five per cent of all municipal solid waste worldwide.
Studies (3) have reached the conclusion that document reading, if intended to be read more than once or by several people, may be more environmentally friendly if printed.
A New York Times recent article (4) revealed the extraordinary impact electronic communication is having on the environment.
In the United States, more trees are grown than are harvested and the volume of trees growing on US forestland has increased 49% over the last 50 years (5). The amount of US forestland has remained essentially the same for the last 100 years at about 750 million acres, even though the US population tripled during the same period (6). Forest cover in Europe is now 30% larger than in 1950 and has been increasing by 1.5 million soccer fields every year.

It is a Lego wonder land inside the Cooper family's South Weber home.
Indy Cooper said, "We woke up one Christmas morning and it was all here."
Mom Amy gave up her front room and turned it into a Lego work shop for her boys Indy and Zander.
The Cooper family wants to share their love of Legos with kids fighting leukemia.
Indy Cooper said, "It will be great, they will have to have something to do in their bed and maybe play with them."
To do that, the Coopers are hosting the cooper cupcake and cookie sale.
A chance for this family to give back after a pretty rough year.
Amy said, "A little less than a year ago, Indy and Zander's Dad Colt was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. So he started treatments and we were going through that for the last year."
Besides the love for Legos, this family has something else; a dang good sugar cookie!
Amy explained, "I'm a secret ingredient."
Now the family is selling Amy's famous cookies and asking for donations to buy new Legos for kids with leukemia at Primary Children's Medical Center.
With the help of the group Legos for Leukemia the Coopers, with the help of the community, will give the gift of hope to kids dealing with Leukemia.
They will be holding their bake sale from 6-8 Thursday night at 8200 South in South Weber.

Critical Aesthetics and Postmodernism (Clarendon Press, 1993) argued that art and aesthetic experiences have the capacity to humanize. In this book, the author develops this theme in much greater depth, arguing that art can bridge the gap between philosophy's traditional striving for generality and completeness, and the concreteness and contingency of humanity's basic relation to the world. As the key element in his theory, he proposes an ecological definition of art. His strategy involves first mapping out and analysing the logical boundaries and ontological structures of the aesthetic domain ... More

Wild right wing Jason Pominville, who missed the first three games of the postseason and final two games of the regular season, has just taken the ice for today's optional practice. Don't get your hopes up yet that he is returning for Game 4. 1) He has practiced once since being injured April 23. 2) Even though he looked great in practice, he woke up on the morning of Game 1 and didn't feel right. In other news, the Wild has recalled forward Carson McMillan and defenseman Matt Dumba from AHL Houston and are practicing today. They join Stephane Veilleux, Mikael Granlund and Jake Dowell, who were recalled yesterday. Again, this doesn't mean they're in the lineup. It means Houston's been eliminated and the Wild can start having so-called "Black Aces" around. The Blackhawks have eight. That's how Mike Rupp's career began 10 years ago, incidentally. Got in for Jersey and wound up scoring the Cup-clinching goal against Chuck Fletcher's Ducks. Also, the time of Thursday's Game 5 will be set tomorrow by the NHL.

In a notebook cell one can write: %latex Hello \ [ x=f(x) \ ] and an image appear with perfect math notation. (not jsmath) What is the sage command that does the same receiving a string ? Something like latexrender(r"Hello \ [x=f(x)\ ]") |
In the notebook, I believe that executing a For example,
You win. :^)
DSM (Jan 11 '11)
Well, not quite - because he needed a *raw* string, and because Latex() is not in the default namespace. But that's enough for me to open a ticket - see http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10592kcrisman (Jan 11 '11)
Latex() is in the default name space for the notebook. You can also replace "Latex()" with "latex" (note the lack of parentheses in the second one). I also don't understand your comment about the raw string. Running "latex.eval(...)" from the command line seems to produce png files containing the image, rather than popping up a window with a picture.
John Palmieri (Jan 11 '11)
Okay, that is good to know. The issue about the raw string is just that in the command line one would have to be careful to add white space for LaTeX, and/or carriage returns, which I don't know quite how to do without actual carriage returns - does \n or \r work? Yes, producing the png makes sense - what does latex.show(...) do? Pop it up? That behavior should be available, at any rate.
kcrisman (Jan 11 '11) |
I don't know that there is one. But from the console, you can use the text command, and wrap the latex in $: So you can trivially write a latexrender command yourself: Adding extra features like allowing you to specify the properties via **kwargs is left as an exercise for the reader. I should note though that the above uses matplotlib's TeX implementation, not any system verson, AFAIK. Let's see if I can figure out how to do this from the notebook.. okay, the above still works there. I'll see if I can figure out how to get LaTeX itself called (although I should say that the matplotlib mathtext has worked pretty well for me). After a little thought, something like the following should get the job done: |
Percent directives in the notebook literally call other systems directly. (So you need $\LaTeX$ in your PATH to do this, of course, which I don't.) So there should be a way to use the stuff in should work for anything. Certainly it will work if you put Sage objects and numbers in it, but with strings I think it's tricky - or the whole source for So that's not a full answer, but maybe it will lead to a full answer. I just don't understand well enough how the notebook calls other systems, otherwise I'd look there and give a complete answer. |
If you just want to typeset some latex using jsmath, use for example: |

ACA Coach Hughes Passes Reins to Former Player Drew Sherrod
Jan 11th, 2011 | By Jacob | Category: SportsBy Fran Hunt
Special to Greene Publishing, Inc.
Longtime Aucilla Christian Academy (ACA) Head Baseball Coach Ray Hughes has decided to step down from his position following 34 years as the program's head coach and one year with its junior varsity.
Hughes will reverse roles with first-year Assistant Coach Drew Sherrod, who played for Hughes from 2001-2005 and will take over as head coach, effective immediately.
While playing for Aucilla under Hughes' leadership, Sherrod and the Warriors were District Champions in 2003, 2004 and 2005. They were also Regional Finalists in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
In the ACA record books, the second highest most runs scored during one game was in 2005 against John Paul II, when the Warriors scored 28 runs.
In 2004, Sherrod scored the second highest most home runs in one season with eight.
In 2005, Sherrod also tied for the most RBIs in a season with 46, a record set by Leonard Thigpen in 1984.
Hughes, who recently retired as ACA's athletic director after 25 years of service, felt it was in his best interest, as well as that of the program's, to hand over the reins to Sherrod and serve as his assistant.
"I have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach a game I love for the past 35 years," Hughes said. "Drew Sherrod was one of the most dedicated players I ever coached. I think he will do an excellent job."
"After having led our program for over 30 years, we can't thank Ray Hughes enough for all of his dedication and efforts in serving our school, our students and our Savior," said ACA Principal Richard Finlayson. "He has positively impacted so many people in so many ways. We are excited about his commitment to continue to be a vital part of our coaching staff and about his enthusiasm in regard to the future of our baseball program."
"We are also excited about turning the reins over to Drew Sherrod," Finlayson added. "He is extremely knowledgeable about baseball and is a very positive coach that approaches coaching with a great deal of enthusiasm. Most importantly, he is looking forward to the opportunity to serve God through this new role. We have great confidence that our baseball program will continue to grow and thrive under Coach Sherrod's leadership."
Sherrod recently joined the ACA staff as a physical-education instructor, assistant varsity football coach and middle-school boy's basketball coach.
"I am so excited and thankful to have this opportunity," Sherrod said. "Coach Hughes is a legend at this school as well as in the sport of baseball. It means the world to me that I get to coach at my alma mater but it is extra special that I get to coach alongside Coach Hughes.
"It is going to be a great challenge, but one I am very much looking forward to," Sherrod added.
Sherrod, a standout pitcher and infielder for Hughes, went on to play one year with North Florida Community College before transferring to Florida State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation Management. Sherrod is also an instructor with the Southern Ball Academy of Tallahassee.
"Coach Sherrod has proven extremely beneficial to all of our sports programs since joining our staff in August," said ACA Athletic Director Mary Beth Bishop. "He brings substantial knowledge of fundamentals and technique and his enthusiasm for our baseball program has our players more than ready for the upcoming season."
The Warriors begin regular season play around the diamond, against Hamilton County at 4:30 p.m. on Feb. 15, away.

Operation in Geneva results in nine arrests related to drug dealing
Posted at: 12/22/2012 11:44 AM | Updated at: 12/22/2012 8:28 PM
The Geneva Police Department says a two day operation resulted in nine arrests.
Police say 61-year-old Albert Slaughter, 36-year-old Juan Carlos Ortiz, 22-year-old Donnie Woody, 29-year-old Mark Spencer Junior, 21-year-old Jose A. Concepcion-Flores, 20-year-old Steven Cruz-Figueroa, 32-year-old Steven Sciarabba were all arrested for criminal sale of a controlled substance.
Officers also arrested 19-year-old Syriena Vazquez for obstructing governmental administration and 32-year-old Armeal Whitfield who was wanted on a warrant.
The arrests were all a result of "Operation Clean Sweep" which officers say is an offensive against street level drug dealers in Geneva.
Police say two more arrests were made following the operation.

Why is atheist a bad word? How do we flip this word because I don't think I can (honestly) call myself anything else!
I can't help but to respect that Michael. Me being a youngin' dealing with this sensitive subject, I can only imagine what's yet to come for me in the future. I'm open about my beliefs and I am far from ashamed. No one can change that but it's also not respected. There's nothing wrong with the Atheist title. Everyone is just so caught up in the fact that we don't value christian/muslim/catholic/jewish/etc. beliefs, they forget to respect us and at least TRY to understand our values. it's immoral to say the least.
Respect the individual, not the religion~ true! I love the part about you don't need 'god's' plans, you have your own! :)
I have been saying for decades that I respect a person's right to believe whatever they want, but I do NOT have to respect what they believe.
When Mormons come to the door, I snort and laugh at them. I'd like to laugh at the Jehovah's Witlesses, too, but I live with one...my Aspie sister. <shrugs> Can't win 'em all.
It annoys me, too, when atheists dislike using the word. Why do some feel a need to 'clean it up'? At an Atlanta Freethought Society meeting, we had an open discussion on what to call ourselves. I was new to the group, but immediately got kinda piss-y...I'm an atheist and feel no need to soften it up for a bunch of fools who believe in the make-believe! I've done nothing wrong and have nothing to be ashmaed of...as far as my atheism goes, that is.
You go Tonya! Good for you and you are right!!!~Melinda
Once, when I was working at JCPenney Advertising (in a large building that is the heart of the LA Garment District), Good Friday and Passover occured on the same day...and I wasn't aware of that. I went out on the afternoon beak to buy a pack of cigarettes, and every damn store and restaurant was closed. (Well the Chinese restaurant didn't have a cigarette machine... remember those?)
I finally figured it out, and came stomping back in the office and bellowed, "Where the eff can an atheist buy some smokes around here today?" Quite a few jaws hit desktops and drawing boards, and the secretary/receptionist blurted, "But you're too nice to be an atheist!" I asked her what that had to do with anything, went to my own desk. I looked at the three gay young guys in my department who were stuffing their fists in their mouths to keep from LOLing, and I started laughing.
Made my day. I think that was when I finally came out of the Non-Believer's Closet after 20 years of keeping things to myself. That was almost 30 years ago...an amazing relief.
But "atheist" in itself is NEITHER a bad word, nor a good word, it's just a word that means a LACK of belief in any deity. It's not necessarily a statement that there is no god, or gods. It just means that you/I personally don't worship any, or pray to any.
That's why people who claim to be agnostics get on my left nerve...they think it means that they don't know whether or not there is a god, sort of a middle-of-the-road position, but that's what atheism is. Agnostics (for the most part) don't go to religious services, or pray over their Big Macs, so IMO they're no different from those of us who come right out and say we're atheists...they're just too cowardly to do the same.
If they don't know there's a god, how can they worship one? THAT's the difference.
I think it was while reading Sam Harris's comments about agnostic vs atheist that I realized I was a total hypocrite when I thought of myself as an agnostic. I was still trying to hedge my bets: just in case there was a god I wanted to let it know I was not completely swayed by the dark side. That Sam Harris moment caused me to dig deeper, to read more, and to become what I already was...a complete non-believer...an atheist.
Not long after that I came across Robert Ingersoll's writings and it was like being born again. I became Alfred E. Neuman--"What me worry?" I never actually believed in the first place, but it took me about 57 years to actually accept who I really was.
And the atheists said "amen."
(Ingersoll is a fascinating person from the 19th century) Pardon me for waxing nostalgic, this is some of his quote that meant so much to me:
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899)
"When I became convinced that the universe is natural, that all the ghosts and gods are myths, there entered into my brain, into my soul, into every drop of my blood the sense, the feeling, the joy of freedom. The walls of my prison crumbled and fell. The dungeon was flooded with light and all the bolts and bars and manacles became dust. I was no longer a servant, a serf, or a slave. There was for me no master in all the wide world, not even in infinite space. I was free -- free to think, to express my thoughts -- free to live my own ideal, free to live for myself and those I loved, free to use all my faculties, all my senses, free to spread imagination's wings, free to investigate, to guess and dream and hope, free to judge and determine for myself . . . I was free! I stood erect and fearlessly, joyously faced all worlds."
Thanks for listening to my rant. Peter C.
There's a lot of negativity attached to the word no thanks to theists who use it only in hushed tones when it's to condescend. I actually remember a car ride when I was really small, probably pre-k or kindergarten aged, during which I mentioned that a new kid at my school was atheist. I didn't even know what it meant, so it was just a random thing I was repeating. My mom gasped, then tsked, then said something I don't remember in a quiet voice. I remember feeling like maybe I had said something wrong. I was kinda freaked out.
Annoyingly, the word has bad connotations for many people. It's just a symptom of living in the deluded world we live in.
Most of the negativity comes from the Cold War, and the paranoia about "Godless Communism." Billy Graham, and others, really did a lot of lobbying and damage... getting laws passed to put "In God We Trust" on our paper currency, where it never was before (just on some coins), and adding the undergod to the Pledge of Allegiance.
The money thing is highly unconstitutional, but congressmen and senators are too chicken-hearted to do anything about it. Same for the pledge; there is nothing in the constitution about schoolchildren (or government officials) having to recite a bit of drivel every day. It wasn't even written till 1892, to celebrate Columbus Day...which probably delighted the *bleep!* out of the survivinig tribes of Native Americans (includinig some of my distant ancestors.)
I almost stopped voting for one California senator for taking part in the "undergod" demonstration on the Capitol steps, but the alternative was not acceptable. (I wish they'd put "None of the Above" on ALL ballots.....)

Physicals for the 2013-2014 RCHS school year will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 29 at Rush Memorial Hospital.
Remember that your physical is good one year from the date you received it. So if you prefer to go with your family doctor, just make sure to get the form in before that one year deadline.
A physical must be on file even for optional practices.
Your doctor must use the form provided by the Athletic Office which includes the physical, training rules and information on concussions. Problems were experienced last year with many doctors offices having old forms.

There are lots of dining groups on Meetup; I belong to some. And they're great. But I don't see anything devoted to the goofy, offbeat restaurants and snack shops and events that can make eating a purposefully amusing experience. Tabletops before tablecloths, go cups before goblets, fun before fancy, cute before culinary. I don't want to be a decadent foodie all the time! This isn't intended to be devoted to bargain, cheap-eats places, though most of the things I'm interested in for this group …

Recliners will replace the seats at AMC Dublin Village 18. Work should be complete by summer.
Movie fans will be able to kick back and relax when AMC Entertainment installs power recliners in a multimillion-dollar upgrade of its AMC Dublin Village 18 theater complex.
Renovations will begin in early spring, a few auditoriums at a time, so that the theater can remain open. The change should be complete in time for the summer movie blockbuster season, said spokesman Ryan Noonan.
The Dublin location, near I-270 and Sawmill Road, will have other upgrades, too, such as adding Coca-Cola Freestyles, a soda-dispensing machine that has more than 120 drink options.
While AMC Entertainment wouldn't specify how much it will spend on the renovation, "an investment like this is typically worth mid-seven figures," Noonan said.
"At locations where we've added these seats, reception has been tremendous, doubling and in some cases tripling attendance," he said.
The number of seats will be reduced in the process.
The developer who controls the 65 acres — 450,000 square feet of space — at Dublin Village Center also is investing several million dollars in the project.
Matt Stavroff, president of Stavroff Land & Development Co., said his company has committed to not only help AMC with the renovations but also will pay for new theater-specific parking areas and new landscaping.
In addition, there will be some exterior renovation of the space.
Stavroff and Dublin city leaders have long said revamping the whole area was a priority.
"This is just the first step in a host of great things," Stavroff said.
But the center, which is somewhat isolated, has long battled a visibility issue.
Moving forward, Stavroff said, he expects to work with nearby property owners and the city to improve both access and visibility to the whole development.
"This renovation about to get under way is transformative," he said, "and we're all very excited."
In the past few years, Kansas City-based AMC Entertainment has been upgrading theaters around the country. Two dining-focused options are among them: Cinema Suites, a theater with recliner seats, full-service menu and cocktail bar; and Fork And Screen, a theater and casual restaurant. In addition, AMC has been rolling out its MacGuffins Bar and Lounge concept, a lobby bar where drinks can be ordered and then taken into the auditoriums.
Locally, the theater at Easton Town Center features both dining options and the bar. The Lennox Town Center location features the bar and lounge only.
The Dublin location "possibly" could add the MacGuffins bar at some point but won't add the other two upgrades, Noonan said. A liquor license application has been filed for the Dublin location.
AMC Entertainment is the nation's second-largest movie-theater chain, with 332 theaters and 4,804 screens throughout the United States.

(NAPSI)—If you're feeling stressed out, tired or unhealthy as a result of your caregiving duties, you are far from alone.
According to a recent survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), nearly three out of four caregivers who care for a family member or friend who is disabled, elderly or has physical or mental limitations said caregiving had at least some impact on their health. Nearly six in 10 caregivers said they lose sleep at least sometimes.
"Caring for a loved one is a tremendous responsibility, which can have a big impact on your own health and well-being," said Glen Stream, M.D., MBI, president of the AAFP. "Caregivers need to know that there are resources available to help them provide the necessary care while also keeping their own well-being in mind."
The AAFP's award-winning website, FamilyDoctor.org, offers practical tips for balancing work and caregiving, dealing with life-changing events, keeping older adults safe, improving communication with a relative with dementia, and depression in older adults.
Nearly two-thirds of caregivers surveyed said they were frustrated by having to go to multiple resources for information on a specific health issue. More than half of caregivers felt there was no single online resource for highly credible health information on caregiving.
These findings demonstrate that caregivers need a comprehensive clearinghouse of information. Understanding caregivers' need for timely and practical information, FamilyDoctor.org has significantly expanded information on the Seniors page. All content is reviewed by family physicians.
"The scientifically accurate information found on FamilyDoctor.org empowers patients to make informed decisions," Stream said. "And information helps lead to more constructive discussions between patients and their physicians."
The survey found that nearly two-thirds of caregivers who manage the health of those for whom they provide care sought information from their physician or health care provider. Of those, 96 percent sought information from a primary care physician.
Family physicians care for all ages and are able to not only address the health care issues affecting the elderly, but also offer resources for caregivers to help maintain their quality of life.
"Family physicians provide a patient-centered medical home for their patients. They coordinate care across all settings, including doctors' offices, nursing homes, hospitals and many other services that make up our complex and confusing health care system," Stream said.
