Flood/No Flood and Model UpdateApril 21st, 2013 at 3:11 am by Bill Steffen under Bill's Blog, News, Weather
Check out these pictures from Charlie Rozema. This is standing in the same spot (see the rock at the bottom of the pictures) at the Southern Grand Marina on the Grand River near Grand Haven. This picture on the left is normal water levels early last summer, and the picture on the right is Saturday PM (4/20)
Model update: The overnight European model has these rainfall forecast totals for Tuesday/Tuesday night then Thursday: Grand Rapids 0.51″, 0.26″ Kalamazoo 0.44″, 0.26″ Lansing 0.28″, 0.22″ Jackson 0.28″, 0.19″ Muskegon 0.69″, 0.20″ Big Rapids 0.73″, 0.19″ Holland 0.59″, 0.22″. The GFS gives G.R. 0.86″ Tues./Tues. Night and just 0.04″ on Thursday. The NAM (caribou) has 0.46″ for G.R. for Tue./Tue. night Both the GFS and European have our temperature at 850 mb (a constant pressure surface usually a little shy of a mile above ground) at -4C on Thursday. That's betting borderline for some mixed snow.

Woman, 78, caught with cash in girdle at airport-A A +A
Sunday, August 10, 2014
ROMULUS, Michigan -- A 78-year-old Florida woman tried to fly on an international trip to the Philippines from Detroit Metropolitan Airport with almost $41,000 in cash hidden inside her girdle, bra and carry-on bag, federal authorities said.
A complaint filed Friday in US District Court in Detroit said the Clearwater woman was trying to board a flight April 2 to the Philippines with her daughter. She initially said she had $200 in cash but submitted a form declaring she had $1,200, prompting questions.
During a search, Customs and Border Protection officers found $8,000 in wallets in her carry-on bag, $4,000 sewn into a cloth pouch and nearly $1,000 in envelopes, according to the complaint. She then told them she had $3,000 in her blouse and $2,000 sewn into the strap of her bra.
Officers continued to search and said they found about $21,000 in her girdle. The woman told authorities that she had recently sold her home for $120,000, wired some money to the Philippines and had planned to carry a portion of the money with her.
"She stated that she did not wire the proceeds to the Philippines this time because she thought it was safer to carry the money," according to the complaint.
Federal law requires travelers to declare if they are carrying more than $10,000. The woman hasn't been charged, but the government in the forfeiture complaint said it wants to keep the money. The Detroit News reported details of the request Friday.
Federal court records don't list a lawyer for the woman. The Associated Press left a message Saturday seeking comment from her at a telephone listing in Florida. (AP)

Why has the new Mesa Lab fountain not been running in 2004?
Answered on July 17, 2004
The Mesa Lab fountain was shut down shortly after its completion to comply
with the City of Boulder's restrictions on water usage driven by the
drought conditions that started in 2000. The city has eased its
restrictions on water usage this year, but it is encouraging continued
water conservation efforts. Although the fountain is more impressive when
it is in operation, there is a considerable loss of water due to both
evaporation under normal conditions and overflow during windy conditions.
With our many visitors and the high profile that UCAR has in the community,
we feel we are setting a positive example by continuing to conserve water
whenever it is possible to do so without impacting the normal operations of
our facilities.
Thank you for your question.

At the risk of sounding somewhat bold, the fact that Lana del Rey seems to divide opinion so sharply is probably proof enough that she has 'made it'. Criticism of her seems to centre around issues such as her wealthy background, or whether her image is 'contrived', and frequently ignores the very thing on which she should be judged; the merit of her music. Back in February, So So Gay found much to praise on her début album, Born To Die, with its lush production, solid song writing, and originality. Love or hate her, it cannot be denied that there is no-one quite like del Rey. It was only a matter of time before an extended edition of the album appeared, especially given the trend in recent years for artists to achieve as much mileage as possible from their releases.
The stand-out track of the new material is the lead single, 'Ride'. Accompanied by an 'epic' music video, the likes we have come to expect from del Rey, 'Ride' is a truly anthemic number which demonstrates the artist's tremendous powers of storytelling, not to mention the majestically rich vocals that are her trademark. The track is accompanied by soaring strings and catchy lyrical hooks such as 'I have a war in my mind'. Most certainly, if you were looking for a song to rival the power and intensity of 'Born To Die', this is the closest you're going to get. The track builds to a delicious vocal breakdown where del Rey declares, 'I'm tired of feeling like I'm fucking crazy', before bringing the track to a tumultuous peak.
Darker themes of desire and the pushing of sexual boundaries are never far away, and this is never more apparent than in the opening of 'Cola'. Few artists could convincingly pull off an opening lyric such as 'My pussy tastes like Pepsi cola / My eyes are wide like cherry pies / I got a taste for men who're older' without sounding completely ridiculous, but del Rey manages to make it convincing and sexy. Some fantastic imagery is woven through the lyrics, such as the singer wearing nothing but an American flag; or rather, she doesn't exactly say that she's wearing nothing else, but for some reason, that's how you imagine it. This is accompanied by a pulsating beat that captures the energy of raw sexuality, accompanied by del Rey whispering 'C'mon, c'mon' in one breath, whilst performing amazing vocal acrobatics that sound almost like the throes of wild passion in the next. It should sound crass and trashy, but somehow she pulls it off. Another deceptively dangerous slow-burner is 'Body Electric' – initially a slow and mournful number, it has a simple and repetitively structured chorus that gathers pace and power in the beat. The darker themes of sexual gratification and the excesses of youth – apparent in songs such as 'Carmen' and 'Dark Paradise' – are certainly deepened and developed to great effect here.
A relative tour de force is 'Gods And Monsters', with it's retro-influenced opening and hip-hop inspired beats. Musically, the track pounds through to a climax in a raw and infectious manner, but lyrically, you will find some of the finest moments after 'Ride'. With gambits such as, 'You've got that medicine I need / Fame, liquor and love, give it to me slowly', or the thoroughly mind-blowing, 'In the land of gods and monsters I was just an angel / Lookin' to get fucked hard'. It's certainly very stylised in terms of its darkness, and it verges on cliché with lines such as, 'When you talk it's like a movie, and you're makin' me crazy / Cos life imitates art'. Despite the frequent use of profanity, the rise and fall of the beat and reliance on Rey's vocal talents mean that it doesn't feel 'over-done'.
A far more restrained affair is 'American', with it's almost dream-like quality. It explores some of the trademark themes that we have come to associate with del Rey, embracing romantic, carefree youthfulness in a soft and enticing manner. She croons her way seductively through the chorus: 'You make me crazy / You make me wild / Just like a baby / You spin me round like a child / Your skin so golden brown / Be young, be dope, be proud / Like an American'. This is accompanied by some beautiful instrumentation, which builds to a synth effect, which fleetingly put us in mind of early Nelly Furtado. It strikes a balance between maintaining the gentleness yet providing enough of a build to hold the interest.
This certainly works much better than on tracks such as 'Yayo'. This song has great appeal in terms of the jazzy feel it brings to the album, but loses it with a series of vocal displays that make the track, quite frankly, a bit of warble, and certainly has nothing on the closing track, 'Bel Air'. Indeed, one of the most notable features of this track is a beautiful piano arrangement that evokes a fairytale feel, not to mention lyrics that speak not of darkness and self-destruction, but rather the opposite, namely a willingness to surrender to the more positive side of desire. After the sexually-charged aspects of 'Cola' and 'Gods And Monsters', this serves to demonstrate that del Rey, so often criticised for 'over-embracing' destructive themes, can deliver a song that draws on beauty as well as those that push the boundaries of sexual provocation.
It is probably clear that The Paradise Edition is unlikely to change any previous conceptions of Lana Del Rey. This is a case of more of the same; existing fans will enjoy the new edition, and those who 'simply don't get her' will find nothing here that changes their minds. If you're looking for a comparison, then don't expect the new tracks to do for Born To Die what The Fame Monster did for Lady Gaga's The Fame, but this is largely due the strength of the original material. Leaving aside the somewhat forgettable cover of 'Blue Velvet' and focussing on the original material, seven good songs out of eight certainly cannot be argued with.

Forget It: 'Yayo'

Conference call to discuss capital management strategy, February 22, 10 a.m. Central time at www.ti.com/ir
These increases reflect the company's ability to generate cash and management's commitment to return it to shareholders. Over the past few years, TI has built a business model for growth and high margins with its focus on Analog and Embedded Processing semiconductors. As a result, TI believes it can consistently convert 20-25 percent of its revenue into free cash flow* and return 100 percent of that free cash flow (less debt repayment) to shareholders.
With today's dividend announcement, this will be the 10th consecutive year of dividend increases. The new dividend is contingent upon formal declaration by the Board of Directors at its regular meeting in April. Common stock repurchases have reduced the company's outstanding shares by 36 percent since the end of 2004.
The company will host a conference call tomorrow,
* Non-GAAP; Free cash flow equals cash flow from operations minus capital expenditures.

Analyzing the Roots: Hydroponics and Halacha
According to some accounts, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were hydroponically-grown. The gardens hung strikingly from palace terraces and were considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The gardens were supposedly constructed by Nevuchadnetzar around 600 BCE in present-day Iraq, about 30 miles south of Baghdad.1 However, there is a lively discussion among historians as to who built the gardens, how they were planted, and indeed whether these gardens existed at all. The Talmud (Avoda Zara 38b) itself discusses the hydroponic sprouting of seeds, in what seems to have been a fairly common practice.
More recently, in the 1930's, Dr. William Gericke of the University of California conducted research with hydroponics. He coined the term "hydroponics", derived from the Greek words, hydro (water) and ponos (labor), or "water-working." Put simply, it means growing plants in a nutrient solution without soil. The science of hydroponics proved that soil is merely the holder of the nutrients, as well as the place where the plant roots traditionally live and a base of support for the plant structure. Soil isn't required for plant growth; the elements, minerals and nutrients that soil contains such as carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium can be supplied in liquid solutions. Plants are supported by porous material, such as sand, gravel, foam or glass wool, that acts as a wick in relaying the nutrient solution from its source to the roots.
In 1945, the United States Air Force built one of the first large hydroponic farms on Ascension Island, a barren island in the South Atlantic, followed by additional farms on Iwo Jima and Okinawa in the Pacific. These hydroponic farms helped to supply fresh vegetables to troops stationed in these areas. Over the past few decades, researchers in Israel have been at the forefront of hydroponic study.2
Presently, the most common hydroponic crop grown in the United States is tomatoes followed by cucumbers, lettuce, herbs, and peppers. In addition, every day many hydroponic vegetables are brought in from Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Now let's discuss the various halachos which are applicable to the AeroGarden, and to hydroponics in general.
In addition to romaine and other types of lettuce, one can grow herbs such as cilantro, dill, and parsley. Herbs are especially prone to infestation, are difficult to check, and are not widely available to the kosher consumer as 'certified insect-free'. The kit is helpful in controlling infestation for these varieties.
Hydroponically-grown vegetables (lettuce, herbs, etc.) sold commercially without kosher certification should be thoroughly checked since they grow under conditions unknown to the consumer.
Shabbos/Yom Tov
The vegetables may not be harvested on Shabbos or Yom Tov due to the prohibition of kotzer, reaping.9 On Chol Hamoed, they may be harvested for Chol Hamoed or Yom Tov use. Although the AeroGarden lights go on and off during Shabbos, this is permitted since the system is automated without further input.10
On a related note, if the seeds in the kits were to come from Eretz Yisroel, the seeds would not be subject to the laws of ma'asros or Shmitta. These seeds are not edible seeds, and the Mishnah in Ma'asros 5:8 states that non-edible seeds are not subject to ma'asros or Shmitta.13 In any event, Star-K has determined that the AeroGarden seeds are not from Eretz Yisroel.
Nutrient Tablets
From early history to modern times, hydroponics has offered an alternative to earth-grown produce. It is yet another way to appreciate the bountiful world Hashem has bestowed upon us.18
1. This would be around the time he destroyed the Beis Hamikdash. It is said that the gardens were built to cheer up his wife – a native of a lush region full of vegetation, who found the dry Babylonian scenery dispiriting.
2. In 1982, Dr. Hillel Sofer, senior researcher at the Volcani Institute at Ein Gedi, developed the aero-hydroponic method, which increases oxygen to the plant roots by suspending the roots in air. The AeroGarden uses this methodology.
3. Rav Ovadia Yosef (Yechaveh Da'as 6:12), Rav Chanoch Zundel Grossberg, (Siddur Minchas Yerushalayim p. 334), Rav Eliyahu Falk (Machazeh Eliyahu siman 28). All cite the Chaye Adam 51:17, who discusses vegetables grown in soil in a flowerpot (sh'aino na'kuv, without holes on the bottom). Chaye Adam rules that the brocha is Shehakol, since it is not nourished by the soil in the ground. Although some disagree with the Chaye Adam on that point, his ruling provides strong support for reciting Shehakol on vegetables grown in water, which is even further distinguished from earth-grown vegetables.
4. There are opinions (Rav Shmuel Vozner Sheivet HaLevi 1:205, Rav Moshe Shternbuch Teshuvos V'hanhagos 2:149) that the proper brocha on hydroponic vegetables is Hoadama,asHoadama is recited over any vegetable which normally grows from the ground. (Rav Shternbuch writes that Chaye Adam only referred to Hamotzi, which could not be recited on bread made from wheat grown in a flowerpot. However, this argument is difficult to support, as Chaye Adam refers specifically to Hoadama. Also, see Nishmas Adam 152:1 where the Chaye Adam explicitly links the two brochos.)
5. Yechaveh Da'as 6:12.
6. During Shemitta years, Alei Katif may be grown differently than in other years.
7. A test of the system in the Star-K offices produced lettuce which was insect-free.
8. Shulchan Aruch O.C. 336:11. See Minchas Chinuch 32 and Teshuvos Har Tzvi (Zeraim 2:31).
9. Shulchan Aruch O.C. 336:5, Shemiras Shabbos Kehilchasa 26:4, Machazeh Eliyahu 31.
10. Even Rav Moshe Feinstein (Igros Moshe OC 4:60), who disapproved of 'Shabbos clocks', still permitted their use for lighting.
11.Rav Yechiel Michel Tuchetzinski (Zeriah 3:4) and others cited in Mishpatei Aretz (Terumos 1:19). Teshuvos Har Tzvi (Zeraim 2:31), however, requires ma'asros. See also discussion in Derech Emunah (Terumos chap. 2, Beiur Halacha s.v. Ochel).
12. Yechaveh Da'as ( 6:12) citing Rav Yechiel Michel Tuchetzinski (Sefer Ha'Shmitta vol 2:pg 104),
13. The Rambam (Peirush Ha'mishnayos) writes, based on the Mishnah, that even if the seeds come from vegetables which themselves have been set aside as teruma, the plants which grow from these non-edible seeds are not teruma. We do not apply the rule of gidulei teruma teruma. See also Rashash.
14. Also see Pesachim 39a, ma matza gidulei karka af marror gidulei karka, implying that marror must be earth-grown. However, this may mean only that marror must be a type of food which normally grows from the earth. See Mikraei Kodesh Pesach 2:12.

Billboard campaign sparks discussion of soaring African-American abortion rate
Catholic World News - July 18, 2011
A controversial billboard that called attention to the high rate of abortion among African-American women has prompted rare media attention to the issue.
An Oakland Tribune story quotes from several advocates of legal abortion, who claim that it is simplistic to focus on the abortion rates, saying that "the abortion figures fit into a pattern of poor health outcomes for African-Americans and Latinos." Even that well-rehearsed argument ultimately plays into the hands of pro-lifers, because a) it concedes that abortion is a "poor health outcome" and b) it defends Planned Parenthood by advancing the idea that the group's clinics provide other important health services—an assertion that is in tatters after a series of recent investigative reports.
At the same time, the sponsor of the billboards has a chance to say that abortion is causing a silent "genocide" of the African-American community. A focus on that point could lead some enterprising reporters to investigate the racist origins of Planned Parenthood.

As an introduction to the Theatre and its premises, here is a short history of the Theatre group that was founded 68 years ago.
The Devizes and District Amateur Dramatic Society was formed in 1947, just after the Second World War, and presented its plays in a variety of venues. The Community Centre, the Corn Exchange the town cinema and the old Garrison cinema were among the venues used, but there was no permanent home.
The loss of a club room at the Elm Tree Inn in 1972, forced the group to look for somewhere else and, after enquiries, Devizes Borough Council offered to lease to the society an old building in Couch Lane, not only for club premises but also as a theatre. Work started on the Couch Lane theatre in February 1973, and money was raised by an appeal, grants from the local Councils, and Southern Arts gave £250 towards the lighting.
In September 1973, the Dramatic Society had its last Annual General Meeting, and became the Wharf Theatre – the building and the society both being known by the same name. In October, an official opening was held, and club nights followed until the following March, when the Theatre license was granted and the first public production took place. Having a permanent home attracted new members as actors, backstage crew, front-of-house staff and, of course, as regular theatregoers. The membership in 1975 stood at 230, which included younger members from the age of 12 years.
In 1979, the Wharf Theatre moved from Couch Lane to its present site in this old canal warehouse alongside the Kennet & Avon Canal. The warehouse was completely refurbished and fitted out internally through a joint funding arrangement between the Kennet District Council, the Manpower Services Commission (which provided manpower and materials for the major structural works), the Kennet & Avon Canal Trust and the Wharf Theatre itself. The internal conversions included removing the first floor, putting in staircases and installing the raked floor for the 96 seat auditorium. The Wharf Theatre took over the building in 1st August 1979 and its members carried out the remaining work, although professional sub-contractors were used for the electrical work (other than the stage lighting), plumbing and heating.
The new premises was opened for productions during the following year (1980) but almost immediately, the Theatre began to plan an extension of the wharfside building in order to cope with the large numbers of theatregoers and cast that could now be accommodated. The plans included a larger foyer and bar area, a workshop at the rear of the building, and better changing room facilities. Following a loan from the Kennet District Council, work began in1988. The present layout, which opened in 1989, is the result of this extension and provides a large foyer and box office area, new staircase to the auditorium, large workshop conveniently sited at the rear of the stage, and a changing room ("green room") able to accommodate casts which in some recent productions have numbered over 20 actors.
Since then, the Theatre has been regularly producing eight or nine full-length productions each year, and also plays host annually to up to four visiting companies. In 2007, after many years in abeyance, a youth theatre – the Wharf Youth Theatre - was once again set up, and this now stages a major production at the end of the Summer term. Membership of the Theatre stands at around 280, and this includes just over 20 Youth Theatre members.
The Wharf Theatre offers seating for 96 theatregoers and stages a wide range of productions ranging from panto to opera and comedy to classics. It features significantly in the cultural life of Devizes and is determined to provide a high standard of theatre for many years to come. The Wharf Theatre is very aware of, and grateful for, the support it receives from Devizes and the surrounding area and is extremely keen to welcome new members both acting and social.
For more information on membership, please pick up a membership leaflet from the Foyer or contact our Membership Secretary, Paul Mehra, on 01380 818606.

Not all types of income are listed in the first section of the Form 1040. For this reason, there exists a line on the 1040 (line 21) for what the IRS calls other income. This other income is usually some event that you receive money that you weren't expecting and did not receive any W-2 form for. The IRS has a well defined list for what they believe other income to be and that list is as follows:
- Winnings from gambling
- Lotteries - which could also be a lump-sum payment you receive in place of spreading your lottery winnings out over some period of time
- Prizes and Awards
- Raffles
- Alaska Permanent Fund dividends
- Distributions from a Coverdell education savings account (taxable)
- Distributions from a qualified tuition program that are taxable
- Any taxable distribution from an Archer MSA or a health savings account
- Canceled debts. On Form 1099-C, the amounts would be shown in box 2
- Income from a hobby that you were not in for profit
- Reimbursements from any items that you may have received a deduction for in a previous year
- Jury duty pay
- Income from renting a property that you own that you were not in the business of renting the property. In this scenario, it may be more beneficial to file a Schedule E
Following is a list of items that the IRS does not consider to be taxable income:
- Life insurance proceeds
- Bequests and gifts (has limits if the gift is from a foreign person)
- Child support

Stewards have discovered syringes in a trainer's pocket and blood on the neck of a horse due to race at Mornington on Monday.
Members of Racing Victoria's compliance assurance team swooped on the Mornington stables of trainer Nathan McPherson as part of a campaign targeting the treatment of horses within 24 hours of them racing.
Acting chief steward Brett Wright said members of the team found a number of syringes on McPherson and others around his stables.
They also found what appeared to be blood and a mark on the neck of Testaguy who was due to race at Mornington on Monday.
At a subsequent inquiry, McPherson told the stewards he had been treating other horses in his stables with the contents of the syringes and had not treated Testaguy.
Stewards ordered the horse's scratching from its Mornington engagement.
Raids by Racing Victoria stewards in recent months have resulted in several high-profile trainers being charged, including Robert Smerdon and Sydney's Con Karakatsanis.
Caulfield trainer Tony Vasil is also under investigation after a raid on his stables last Friday.
No charges have yet been laid against McPherson and stewards have adjourned their inquiry into the matter until a date to be fixed.
Submissions on penalty in the Karakatsanis case will be heard on Thursday.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - Three years ago, 118 students took a chance on a brand-new state college.Georgia Gwinnett College had little to attract students - just the backing of the University System of Georgia, a convenient location and the promise that these pioneers would play a part in shaping the future of the first four-year public college founded in the United States in the 21st century. Two months shy of its third birthday, the college on Collins Hill Road was granted its initial accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Georgia Gwinnett College went through the accreditation process in record time, SACS Commission on Colleges President Belle Wheelan said Thursday. Rico Torres, a charter student who was in the first graduating class last year, said he thinks there was a little doubt initially among the students about the caliber of the college. "But the faculty and staff put us at ease," he said, adding, "This (the accreditation) really provides that level of credibility." Torres said he's proud of his alma mater and all that has been accomplished since the school officially opened Aug. 18, 2006. "This only speaks to what's going to happen in the future," he said. That's a sentiment shared by GGC President Daniel Kaufman. "For us as an institution, it means we can grow," Kaufman said. "Now we can be the truly comprehensive institution that our community deserves." Accreditation, which often takes four to six years to achieve, is intended to assure constituents and the public of the quality and integrity of higher education institutions and programs. The process includes three steps: application, candidacy and accreditation. Georgia Gwinnett College submitted its application for candidacy in October 2007, earning the status last June. Work on the request for accreditation began immediately thereafter, and thousands of pages of documentation and records were provided to SACS to certify compliance with the comprehensive standards that must be satisfied in order for an institution to be accredited, according to a news release. Following a review of the submission, SACS sent a 10-member team to the Lawrenceville campus for an on-site visit in April to verify the accuracy of the submitted materials, assess the facilities, and interview faculty, staff and students. "In just a few years, we have provided students access to an excellent college education because of dedicated and inspiring professors who are devoted to teaching and student development," Kaufman said. "Accreditation is a major accomplishment for the GGC team, and I commend all the faculty and staff who worked tirelessly to achieve this milestone in our short history as a college." Richard Tucker, a member of the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia, said the fact that Georgia Gwinnett College achieved accreditation in such a short time is a significant accomplishment and a tribute to the work of the administration, faculty and staff. "We certainly anticipated from Day 1 that (the college) would be accredited," Tucker said, "but to do it in less than two years from the time we applied is unheard of." Earlier this month, the Board of Regents approved a significant expansion of academic programs for Georgia Gwinnett College, and majors in English, history and mathematics will be added to the college's current offerings in biology, business administration, psychology and information technology, pending approval by SACS, according to a news release. The college has also requested the addition of majors in exercise science, political science, criminal justice/criminology, early childhood education and special education, the news release states. Additionally, the college plans to add a major in nursing within the next 18 months to accommodate the 10,000 students expected to enroll in the next five years. Eligible high school students can now participate in joint and dual enrollment programs at GGC as well, thereby getting an early start on their college degrees. "In the fall we anticipate 3,000 students walking the halls of GGC, engaging our faculty in our labs and classrooms and witnessing unparalleled construction activities including new housing, a state-of-the-art library and a student center, all slated to open next year ... (on) the most technologically modern campus in the state," said Stas Preczewski, vice president of academic and student affairs. "Gwinnett County residents and community leaders should be justifiably proud of Georgia Gwinnett College and what it represents as an open-admissions access college of excellence in service to the northeast Georgia community," Preczewski added. "We look forward to educating, in the years ahead, thousands of high school graduates, transfer students and adults who seek their bachelor's degree at a public college that delivers a private school feeling."

Infants born with cleft lips can lead normal social life if treated on time
Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects that occur when the tissues that form the roof of the mouth and the upper lip fail to fuse from one or both sides.
The problem can range from a small notch in the lip to a groove that runs into the roof of the mouth and the nose. This deformation affects the way the child's face looks, Parent India magazine reported.
Children with cleft palate are unable to maintain negative pressure in their oral cavity and, therefore, face difficulty in sucking. They may have nasal regurgitation, choking, gagging and might intake too much air while sucking the nipples.
Appreciatively, cleft lip can now be successfully treated by surgery with minimal scarring, especially if conducted during early childhood.
This surgery is performed on babies as early as three to six months. In difficult cases with very wide clefts, PSIO (Pre Surgical Infant Orthopaedics) is practised at some centres to facilitate cleft lip closure and present post-operative stretching of scars.
Scar less surgery of the cleft lip is a possibility with foetal surgery on intrauterine babies.
Closure of the cleft palate is done in babies between the age group of 12 and 18 months, i.e. before they acquire speech. This prevents the development of abnormal adaptive speech patterns in the child which are difficult to rectify.
When it comes to minimal corrections, they are attempted at the time of lip repair to present progression of deformity. In case of gross deformity, rhinoplasty is performed before the child goes to school.

Results tagged "Patrick Dolan" from IABlog
In a typical session in my free time online I might post a few snapshots on Instagram, check out the latest viral YouTube video and update my Facebook page. I might also research and buy a book for myself, or a gift—or I might price a couple of possibilities for my family's summer vacation. But in my use of social media, many of these activities soon give way to new enthusiasms — #lancearmstrong already seems like yesterday's news by #inaugurationday.
The point is that as more of us live more of our lives through our broadband connections, marketers have to search for ways to access and leverage the vast Social Data trail of our interests—some fleeting and some more abiding—that we create online.
And IAB's Data Council just rolled out a new report—Social Data: Demystification & Best Practice—that can give companies and marketers a sturdier starting point for understanding and making better use of this growing mass of information and its power to positively influence millions of people through social amplification.
Social data that haven't existed in traditional digital media analytic channels (Social Data: Demystification and Best Practice, IAB)
Social Data flows from a million directions. For example, many online marketers are using trackable URLs when posting to social media. These allow you to see exactly where your traffic and customers come from. Another popular social media tool allows you to add a share button wherever you need one on your website—a tool that creates data about who comes to your site, when and why. Of course social media sites themselves also generate masses of social data for you to use. All in all, just like other entities that are growing their online community, we at IAB use Social Data analysis tools, to see where our offerings are strong and to get feedback that helps us reach unexplored audiences.
Social Data: Demystification and Best Practice offers best practices and a common language to help analyze and discuss the data generated by these many layers of social media. Creating a common language is key, because after extracting Social Data, making useful sense of it is still often not easy—sometimes simply because people use the same terms for different phenomena. The report further explains what must go into meaningful data analytics—another critical hurdle we all must clear, as we move away from tracking mere page views in favor of deeper aspects of Social Data, including propagation, amplification and sentiment.
What I think is really exciting here—to me, the basis for Social Data's promise—is that it's all about social media's community of millions of people happily and openly coming together. But with the resulting pool of data so deep and varied, the new IAB report is like navigation software that can help you and your particular company or marketing campaign find the right direction through a real jungle of information to your specific goals. You can download the report at http://iab.net/socialdata.

When I was learning to drive, my instructor told me that anyone could be a great driver if they were in the only car on the road. It's all the other cars that make it hard. A similar dynamic has happened in the ad technology landscape. When the supply chain was just networks and exchanges, it was easy to be a pro at delivering digital ads. Yet, in the past few years, this ecosystem has become congested with all sorts of players. The resulting complexity has made it more challenging than ever to make business decisions. It's become hard to be a good driver in the digital landscape.
For buyers and sellers, it's become harder to know if you're doing the right thing. You have more tools to optimize your stake than ever before, but this abundance of opportunities for improvement has created an uncomfortable level of uncertainty. How do you know you've built the right stack? Are you sure all of your providers will work together efficiently? Will they integrate with your established systems? If you're a buyer, are you sure that your providers' data segmentations are aligned? Do you know where your ad is going to run and that it's brand safe? If you're a seller, is your proprietary data adequately protected and, at the same time, well leveraged? Is your inventory being properly valued? Do either of you feel confident you made the best possible deal? I doubt it.
Four years ago, when we launched the IAB Networks & Exchanges Marketplace, networks and exchanges were the primary intermediaries between advertiser and publisher. An agency would go to a network, buy space across specific publishers, target particular demographics, and run ads across those websites. Today a transaction regularly incorporates DSPs, SSPs, retargeters, data aggregators, and more. The primary relationship is no longer between the agency and publisher or even between the agency, the network-exchange and the publisher. It is now likely that there are dozens of players in the mix.
In addition, industry-wide issues like consumer privacy protections and the upcoming tectonic shift of the viewable impression are real and changing the way all parties do business. The guiding light of providing engaging, breakthrough consumer experiences can easily become hidden behind all of these pressing matters. We can't afford for that to happen.
This is why the IAB Networks & Exchanges Marketplace has evolved to become the IAB Ad Technology Marketplace. On June 21, 2012, participants from across the supply chain will converge at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in New York City to address the impact of technology on the industry. On stage, industry leaders will break down case studies and explain all of the partnerships that operate between brand and publisher, describing how the wheels turn. Speakers will provide insights into the future of programmatic buying for the burgeoning sectors of video and mobile, will demystify the phenomenon of private exchanges, and will delve into the enduring issue of attribution. Need-to-know best practices for big data usage and control as well as consumer protections will be explored. Bringing all of these topics to the forefront and having an open discussion about these advancements will propel us toward more clarity and shared understanding. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or a technology provider, it will help make even your boldest business-building decisions safer and more assured.
Buying and selling is the bedrock of our industry; it is the responsibility of the IAB to protect interactive advertising's effectiveness while nurturing and responding to its development. The reframing of the IAB Ad Technology Marketplace is just one of our efforts to do just that. I hope you'll join us, and I wish you all safe driving.

American contributions to religious charities rose sharply in 2012
Catholic World News - September 10, 2013
Americans increased their charitable contributions by 11.2% in 2012, and raised their donations to religious organizations at a similar rate, according to the latest US government statistics.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that the average American contributed $734 to religious organizations in 2012—up from $649 in 2011 and $661 in 2010.
The increase in charitable donations was the largest rise in spending for the average household, according to the categories covered in the BLS report; the rise in contributions was even faster than the rise in health-care expenditures.

Posted: March 3, 2010, from the March 2010 issue of GCI Magazine.
page 3 of 3Sharing the provenance of ingredients takes consumers behind the scenes, allowing for a deeper level of appreciation. As the current financial situation forces consumers to reassess their buying behavior, they may buy less but more selectively, paying better attention to quality. Suddenly, consumers take less for granted, and the attention is drawn to immaterial well-being, such as home comforts and natural surroundings. This shift in consciousness directly alters shoppers' demands, which now turns to quality, organic and fairly traded natural ingredients. Some pioneers within the beauty industry foresaw these demands and have led the way. Others now follow.
So, are consumers really leaving home without their signature scents? Perfume remains highly desirable, despite financial constraints. Fragrance houses may be wise to fully laud the beauty of their products' natural ingredients, focusing on the essence of the essence—the raw materials. Perfumery is an art that will continue to delight, using the world's odiferous substances as its pantry. By focusing on the virtues and provenance of the ingredients themselves, perfumers can create noteworthy scents that resonate with consumers and are destined to endure the latest trends.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for our new AmeriGlide stair lift. The product arrived via FedEx on Thursday and was installed on Friday morning. We have been using the lift all weekend and it works flawlessly even though it was a factory refurb -- and the price was right...
Thank you again for the first-class service!

Clipping & missing faces
Situation: you are orbiting around your model and you see an effect that looks like a section plane attached to your view at a fixed distance. Objects may also disappear or appear to shake when you try to zoom in.
This is a known issue called Camera Clipping Plane. First, don't worry; although it can be distracting, this doesn't cause any actual damage to your model.
There are several situations in which you might encounter this:
- One is when the field of view (FOV) is set very wide. You can adjust the FOV between 1 and 120 degrees (the default is 35 degrees in SketchUp and 30 degrees in SketchUp Pro). It's easy to unintentionally change the FOV by pressing the Shift key while you are zooming in or out using the Zoom tool. You can change it back, though, by going to Camera > Field of view and typing your desired field of view in the measurement toolbar.
- Another situation that can cause clipping is when the Perspective camera mode is turned off. In that case, click the Zoom Extents button (it looks like a magnifying glass with four red arrows pointing outward). The camera zooms out to display the entire model, and the clipping is eliminated.
- Another situation is when the scale of your model is very small or very large. In this case, you can change the scale of your model while you work on it. For more information about how to control the scale in a model, click here.
- This can also happen if your model is very far away from the origin point (the point where the red, green, and blue axes intersect). In that case, you can move your model closer to the origin point following these steps:
- Select all of the geometry in your model by typing Control+A or Command+A, or by clicking and dragging the Select tool across your geometry.
- Change to the Move tool by going to Tools > Move.
- Grab a corner point of the selected geometry that is on the ground plane and start to move the selected geometry.
- Type
[0,0,0](including the square brackets) in the Measurement toolbar (which is in the lower-right corner of the SketchUp window). This causes the selected point to be moved to the origin point.
- Most frequently, clipping occurs after a DWG import and is caused by a combination of the above points. If you're moving your geometry to the origin or checking for scale, you'll want to ensure that you can see all the geometry in the model. These three steps will help you do that:
- Turn on all your layers in the Window > Layers menu.
- Unhide geometry using the Edit > Unhide all command.
- View all hidden geometry by clicking on View > Hidden Geometry.

Mário Soares warns of risk of European collapse – Portugal
Former Portuguese President Mário Soares warned Monday that if Europe does not change its "paradigm" quickly it risks collapse. He also cautioned that Portugal could face "bailout" agitation similar to Greece. "If Europe doesn't change its paradigm in the short term, if it doesn't restore order in markets and ratings agencies, we may enter into disintegration and a world crisis," the former President said.

Williamsport, Pennsylvania
Obama gets "Cold Water" Challenged
In our hometown of Williamsport, Pennsylvania there has been a new fad going around. It has been named the "24 Hour Cold Water Challenge". You have to be nominated to participate in the challenge. My father in law, Richard Lumbard, was nominated by my sister in law, Danielle Lumbard. When asked who he was nominating he named off several friends and ended the list with Barack Obama. If the challenge has been accepted, you donate $10 to a charity of your choice. If you do not accept the challenge, you must donate $100 to a charity of your nominators choice. Lets see if Obama will accept a simple "Cold Water" challenge.

The University of Georgia has licensed a suite of software solutions and services from Ellucian to help deliver personalized and intuitive online access for learners while also delivering key administrative functionality to help the university support student success.
The university licensed Banner by Ellucian and an array of tailored services following an extensive fit-gap process led by a third-party consultant. The process involved an interdisciplinary team that considered all options, including open source and building their own
system, as well as other vendor solutions.
"We believe Banner will benefit our students by providing greater accessibility and usability in an intuitive platform that can help them be successful from the very beginning of their college experience," said Laura D. Jolly, UGA vice president for instruction. "Banner also will
provide increased efficiency and productivity for our faculty and staff by connecting all the functional administrative pieces and streamlining business processes in order to improve student services, and support and administrative functions, and provide increased access to data to better support data-driven
The university also expects that Banner will enable:
The migration from the university's legacy system to Banner, coupled with the reengineering of its overall internal information structure, also is expected to deliver considerable IT efficiencies. For example, accessing and retrieving data will no longer require extensive coding,
and the university will need to interact only with one vendor for Banner software support.
Ellucian will implement and manage Banner through its Application Management Services as well as provide programming support for the institution's current mainframe. This approach frees up the university's internal IT staff from the enormous workload associated
with implementing a new ERP and allows them to focus on delivering other key functionality in support of students and faculty.
"We are taking a strong multi-faceted service approach to our implementation and support of Banner," said Timothy M. Chester, UGA vice president for information technology. "Ellucian offers economies of scale and specialized expertise around its products that we can't create
ourselves. They also have the experience and product knowledge to extract the fullest potential from a Banner application from the start."
"The university took a very strategic approach to selecting a mix of services that meet their unique needs and that will give them maximum benefit in the shortest amount of time," said Bruce Bleiman, senior vice president, customer relationships, Ellucian. "We are pleased to support
them as they undergo this significant transition to a more productive and student-centered digital campus."
Founded in 1785, the University of Georgia is America's first chartered state university and Georgia's largest and most comprehensive educational institution. More information on the university is available at

All employees of Rogue Community College are subject to the laws of Oregon relating to ethics, to actual and potential conflicts of interest, and to the regulation of the conduct of public employees and public officials. These laws establish specific standards of conduct and an employee cannot rely upon personal or community standards of behavior, but must refer to these laws (and authorized interpretations of these laws), in answering questions regarding what is and is not prohibited conduct. The Oregon Revised Statutes ("ORS") dealing with conflicts of interest include but are not limited to:
- ORS 244.040 - The Code of Ethics. This provides "No public official (which includes RCC employees by definition in ORS 244.020[15]) shall use or attempt to use official position or office to obtain financial gain or to avoid financial detriment." The statute goes into detail regarding what this means, and matters pertaining to gifts, use of confidential information and the like (emphasis added).
- ORS 244.020(1) - Actual Conflict of Interest. This "means any action or any decision or recommendation by a person acting in a capacity as a public official, the effect of which would be to the private pecuniary benefit or detriment of the person or the person's relative or any business with which the person or a relative of the person is associated (subject to exceptions set out in the law)..." (Emphasis added).
- ORS 244.020(7) - Potential Conflict of Interest. This "means any action or any decision or recommendation by a person acting in a capacity as a public official, the effect of which could be to the private pecuniary benefit or detriment of the person or the person's relative or any business with which the person or a relative of the person is associated (subject to exceptions set out in the law)..." (Emphasis added).
- ORS 244.120(2) - Methods of Handling Conflicts. "(W)hen met with an actual or potential conflict of interest, a public official shall....notify in writing the person who appointed the public official to office of the nature of the conflict, and request that the appointing authority disposes of the matter giving rise to the conflict. Upon receipt of the request, the appointing authority shall designate within a reasonable time an alternate to dispose of the matter or shall direct the official to dispose of the matter in a manner specified by the appointing authority." (This requires a written referral of the conflict to the employee's immediate or other supervisor.) (Emphasis added.)
These laws are in Chapter 244 of the ORS and are generally known as "Government Standards and Practices." The laws are enforced and interpreted by the Oregon Government Standards and Practices Commission. The Commission is in Salem, Oregon, telephone: 503-378-5105, and has staff available to answer questions and also has issued a manual, which public officials can refer to for guidance in this legal area.
RCC employees are prohibited from taking any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead an auditor engaged in the performance of an audit for the purpose of rendering the financial statements materially misleading. The president, vice presidents, chief financial officer, and deans shall adhere to the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO) Code of Ethics (herein below). The NACUBO Code of Ethics will be incorporated into the employment contracts of the listed or equivalent positions.
Institutions of higher education are entrusted by society with great resources and commensurately great responsibilities for creation, dissemination, and preservation of knowledge. College and university business officers play a key role in assuring that high standards of ethical practice attend to the custody and use of these resources. The business officer's personal and professional conduct reflects on his or her institution, the collective profession, and the higher education enterprise at large. To guide business officers in setting and practicing high standards of ethical conduct, the National Association of College and University Business Officers has devised the following code of ethics. NACUBO embraces the values expressed in this code and advocates their observance by its members.
The business officer's conduct should be characterized by integrity and dignity, and he or she should expect and encourage such conduct by others.
The business officer should adopt and be faithful to personal values that: accord respect to self and others; preserve honesty in actions and utterances; give fair and just treatment to all; accept intellectual and moral responsibility; aspire to achieve quality; refuse conflict, or the appearance of conflict, between personal and institutional interests; and engender forthright expression of one's own views and tolerance for the views of others.
The business officer should act with competence and should strive to advance competence, both in self and in others. The business officer should understand and support his or her institution's objectives and policies, should be capable of interpreting them within and beyond the institution, and should contribute constructively to their ongoing evaluation and reformulation. The business officer should communicate to institutional colleagues the content of this code of ethics and should strive to ensure that the standards of professional conduct contained therein are met.
In discharging his or her duties in accordance with this Code of Ethics, the business officer should enjoy the following rights: the right to work in a professional and supportive environment; and the right to have a clear, written statement of the conditions of his or her employment, procedures for professional review, and a job description outlining duties and responsibilities; within the scope of his or her authority and policy, the right to exercise judgment and perform duties without disruption or harassment; and, freedom of conscience and the right to refuse to engage in actions that violate the ethical principles contained in this code or provisions of law.

Guilty pleasure lists will have to be re-written after No Strings Attached.
Guilty pleasure lists will have to be re-written after No Strings Attached. Just sassy and witty enough to be enjoyable in places, with plenty enough rehashed romcom tropes to make Matthew McConaughey blush.
Two friends, Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher) agree to have sex with each other whenever either is in the mood, so long as they don't get bogged down in the complications of a formal relationship.
It's two extremely attractive people locked in sweaty passion for a large portion of the film. There's half the cinema filled already. All that's required from that point is to pad it with enough decent gags and a few extra plot points to stretch it out to 90 minutes. Which it manages rather successfully.
Director Ivan Reitman has got an impressive history in oddball comedy, and his slightly offbeat sense of humour not only rescues No Strings Attached from being lumbered on the lurid romcom pile, but makes it marvellously enjoyable to watch.
There are of course certain nauseating romcom standards: somehow the two are destined for each other and pushed together by their quirky, less pretty friends, something hammy called a 'British accent' makes an appearance, and the blokes are either jocks, nerds or gay.
From the age of 13, Emma and Adam's paths repeatedly cross until, worn down by fate, they make their sticky pact. Tender-hearted Adam is still pining for his ex-girlfriend while Emma, rebelling against her mother's dependencies, is determined not to get emotionally caught up in a relationship. Their idyllic plan disintegrates when Adam's emotions get the better of him and he falls for Emma. Emotional turmoil and inner searching ensues on both sides until they come to realise their fate.
Kevin Kline is charmingly funny as Kutcher's philandering, pot-smoking dad. Not only does his cult status as a former actor haunt Adam's own steps into television, but he causes a significant rift when he moves in with Adam's ex-girlfriend.
For better or worse, actors always carry a residual of past roles round with them. Natalie Portman wears her Black Swan persona like a halo, which, though not intrinsically part of the film, emphasises its counter instinctive allure.
Looks like we're set for one hell of a ride...
It's a romcom, but not as we know it.
How many Ashton Kutcher films have you emerged smiling from?

Ivory disc engraved with a bull
Late Bronze Age, about 1300-1200 BC
From Hala Sultan Tekke, Cyprus
A delicately incised 'drawing' from the Bronze Age world
The small number of ivories from the Late Bronze Age town of Hala Sultan Tekke were probably carved locally and, like other products of Cypriot ivory workshops at this time, they show influences from both east and west.
The theme of the bull with a backward-turning head has a long history in Mycenaean Greece, and is ultimately derived from the art of Minoan Crete. This example is particularly freely drawn, the incised line firmly and surely outlining the graceful animal. There is even an unusual attempt at a three-quarter view, shown in the position of the horns.
The disc may originally have been the lid of a cylindrical box in ivory or wood.
