Manila, Philippines – CAMIGUIN is a small province in Northern Mindanao. It is a pear-shaped volcanic island bounded by Butuan Bay on the east, Macajalar Bay on the west, Bohol Sea on the north, and Gingoog Sea on the Southeast. It has five towns, namely, Mambajao, Mahinog, Guinsiliban, Sagay, and Catarman.
The island of Camiguin is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. It is referred to the locals as "The Island of Your Imagination" with its volcanoes, waterfalls and springs, beaches, historic ruins, and colorful sunsets. It is famous for its sweet lanzones ("Buahan"), which grows in backyards of local folks in this area. In thanksgiving for its abundant and continuous harvest of the sweet lanzones fruit, the town of Mambajao holds the yearly Lanzones Festival – "Buahanan 2012" –from October 21 to 28, 2012.
Now on its 33rd year, the festival carries the theme "Kinaiyahan Atong Ampinga, Kalaboan Alang sa Tanan (Care for Nature, Everybody's Success)." Legend says that a beautiful maiden (Diwata) gave the fruit its delicious taste.
For the week-long celebration, there will be street dancing, a search for the festival king and queen, a trade fair featuring the island's best products, a rondalla and folk dance competition, a draw-and-tell contest, a painting contest, a kiddie's theater, a sports tournament, a cooking contest, a search for the Mutya sa Buahanan (Miss Camiguin Tourism) 2012, variety and cultural shows, a job fair, and Docu Fest 2012, where government services such as passport processing and issuance of NBI clearance will be available. A lively and colorful showcase of traditional dances (tableau presentation) took place yesterday. The performers portrayed the legend of the lanzones.
We wish the Officials and Residents of the Province of Camiguin headed by Governor Jurdin Jesus M. Romualdo, Vice Governor Leo G. Lasacar, Congressman Pedro P. Romualdo, and the members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, namely, Jesus D. Pacuribot, Eugenio G. Peñalosa, Hermogenes B. Lobido, Virgilio F. Lacerna, Periolo T. Banaag, and Jose C. Ladao, and the Mayor of Mambajao, Maria Luisa D. Romualdo, in celebrating the gifts of lanzones and the Lanzones Festival. CONGRATULATIONS AND MABUHAY!

|U.S. Attorney's Office November 02, 2012
David B. Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that David Csanadi, 36, of Newtown, pleaded guilty today before United States District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven to one count of production of child pornography.
According to court documents and statements made in court, between approximately 2006 and 2009, Csanadi sexually abused three female children, videotaped the abuse, and maintained the tapes at his home in Newtown. All three children were prepubescent minors under the age of 12 at the time of the abuse. One child was approximately 18 months old at the time of the abuse.
In addition to filming and maintaining video tapes of the sexual abuse that he inflicted on female children, Csanadi downloaded from the Internet and obtained other images and videos of child pornography on his home computer.
"Working with the FBI; the Connecticut Computer Crimes Task Force; and our other federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, the U.S. Attorney's Office is committed to protecting children from sexual exploitation and removing sexual predators from the community," stated U.S. Attorney Fein. "I commend the Newtown and Monroe Police Departments for their investigative efforts and the Danbury State's Attorney's Office for the critical assistance it has provided to the investigation and prosecution of this heinous but important case."
Judge Arterton has scheduled sentencing for March 8, 2013, at which time Csanadi faces a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 15 years, a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years, and a fine of up to $250,000.
Csanadi has been detained in state custody since April 15, 2011, when he was arrested on three counts of first-degree sexual assault, three counts of risk of injury or impairing the morals of children, three counts of illegal sexual contact with a child, and one count of third-degree possession of child pornography.
This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Connecticut Computer Crimes Task Force, Newtown Police Department, and the Monroe Police Department. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Neeraj Patel and Krishna Patel.
This prosecution is part of the U.S. Department of Justice's Project Safe Childhood Initiative, which is aimed at protecting children from sexual abuse and exploitation. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit http://www.justice.gov/psc.

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID allows multiple hard disks to work together in several ways. The Thecus N5200 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD modes natively. The system also supports RAID Migration and RAID Expansion features for multiple setups. RAID is used to achieve greater storage space spanning across multiple drives, mirror the data across multiple drives and have higher reliability than older drives depending on the RAID Mode in use.
RAID 0 is called striping two or more drives are used to make a single drive. It improves performance but is poor for redundancy. Data is shared across different drives. If a single drive on the array is compromised, the whole array can go down. RAID 1 mirrored is a backup solution, allowing the end user to use the array if a single drive fails. RAID 5 (shared disks with parity) combines three or more disks sin an array where if one of the drives fails the storage capacity of the array is reduced by one disk. RAID 6 allows the recovery from the loss of two disks. RAID 10 means that there are two sets of mirrored RAID 0 disks on the five drives of the NAS.
SCSI drives have mostly been taken out of the equation being replaced by high-speed SATA drives, as the SATA drive offers nearly the same throughput as the SCSI interface for a lower price. The N5200 has five drive bays each capable of containing a 3.5 HDD with 1TB of storage space or more. Thecus offers drives for sale with the N5200 as an option, but you can purchase your own drives to save money. The drive bays use the SATA II interface meaning that they have the ability to be hot-swapped. Hot swapping involves removing a drive even when the system is running. This is useful if a drive fails and you need to replace the drive in a RAID array right away. Thecus has a Hard Drive compatibility list on their website and one notable problem is early Velociraptor HDDs from WD as the SATA interface is not correctly aligned to install in this unit. Newer Velociraptor HDDs fit without issue.

2005 Lexus LX470 (1 Review)
2005 LX 470, GREAT CAR BUT RECENTLY I'VE HAD TWO issues that need to be fixed. 1. After getting a oil change at the dealership I've noticed a very hard gear shift, almost compared to being hit in the rear of the car. 2. At times the car will have a complete loss of power, you press on the gas and the RPM'a shoot up but the car moves very slowly through the gears?? Now to make it more of a puzzle the gas tank was 1/2 full so I filled it up and the problem went away for #2. Any Suggestions

Economics Professors Receive a $40,000 Grant from the American Family Business Foundation
August 9, 2011
Antony Davies, Pavel Yakovlev, and Matt Ryan received a $40,000 grant from the American Family Business Foundation to produce a series of research papers on the economic contribution of and effect of regulatory policy on family-owned businesses. When policy makers talk about taxing business, many picture large corporations. However, small- and family-owned businesses are greater engines for innovation than large corporations and vastly outnumber large corporations. In addition, tax and regulatory policy can affect family businesses very differently than they affect corporations. The purpose of this series of papers is to provide a picture of the typical family-owned business and its economic and social impact on its community.

Platform as a service (PaaS) is at a critical stage in its life cycle – with promising business benefits offset by lingering reservations. PaaS promises increased flexibility, lower costs and higher quality IT services, while maintaining control over data and applications. It sits squarely between infrastructure as a service and software as a service, and could prove to be the most transformational of the three main types of cloud computing.
The IBM Center for Applied Insights wanted to explore attitudes around PaaS in order to identify leading practices in PaaS adoption and provide recommendations on how to exploit its potential. We interviewed over 1,500 IT decision makers in 18 countries and a wide range of industries so we could better understand their motivations, experiences and concerns relating to PaaS. This week, we released the results of our exploration in our latest paper "Exploring the frontiers of cloud computing – Insights from platform as a service pioneers".
Platform-as-a-Service: Coming to a Cloud Sooner Than You Think

There has been a great deal of recent press stating that Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is "the future" of cloud. With a PaaS model, the user retains control of the application data, capabilities and updates, while the provider manages the software and infrastructure beneath that application. A lot has been made of the potential value of the technology – making the entire application lifecycle more efficient and less risky, while opening the doors for new organizational constructs and increased innovation and differentiation.
In its latest cloud hype cycle, Gartner placed PaaS at the summit, stating that it will be a transformational technology in the next two to five years. However, Gartner also said that PaaS is one of the most misunderstood aspects of cloud platforms. Adam Wiggins, one of the founders of cloud application platform provider Heroku, thinks that the PaaS market is just getting started. Finally Frost & Sullivan recently reported that "the platform-as-a-service market will be the next area of keen competition for cloud innovators, as the infrastructure- and software-as-a-service spaces have been commoditized."
All of this may be true. A lot of enterprises are just getting started experimenting with and testing PaaS implementations, and it may take a number of years for widespread adoption. Technology adoption rates are always difficult to predict, but I think we can say with certainty that PaaS is a hot topic, with great potential, and much more will be written about it.

doesn't work
This review is from: Hauppauge 22461 PCTV HD Stick 80e for Mac
Pros: Works at times
Cons: freezes computer, doesn't allow for channel changing, seems stuck on only one channel, really just junk. No customer service and I guess that they just don't care - they got thier's.
Other Thoughts: JUST DOESN"T WORK AND THERE IS NO CUSTOMER SERVICE

Great little tuner
This review is from: Hauppauge 22461 PCTV HD Stick 80e for Mac
Pros: Small, good picture quality, does the job.
Cons: I am using Windows 7 32 and 64 bit (have a few computers) and this worked good on the 32bit computers and not at all on the 64 bit computers. Well they just fixed their drivers and now it works perfect with Windows 7 Media Center on a Nvidia Ion Atom 330 x64 system.
Other Thoughts: They need to drop the remote control (only good for laptops and still not that great) and the antenna and get an OEM version of this thing in the sub $50 range. At that price it is a great tuner.

Good Little Device
This review is from: Hauppauge 22461 PCTV HD Stick 80e for Mac
Pros: Used many different USB tuners over the year. This one is a gem at the right price. New Egg is not currently offering a good price. Maybe a match to the shack @ $49?
Cons: Only worth $50...period.
Other Thoughts: Works well...should have stayed with f-connector design. Just another adapter to lose.

Not ready for WIn7
This review is from: Hauppauge 22461 PCTV HD Stick 80e for Mac
Pros: The good news is that if you use just the Vista drivers and delete the Pinnacle TVCenter Pro software, Windows Media Player works well with the device itself. Even just using the included antenna, it picked up all my local channels, as well as some quite far away.
Cons: Software is not ready for windows 7. Downloaded latest from the Pinnacle site. A visit to the Pinnacle support site before I purchased would have been a good idea. Others report similar crashes with this, and no resolution other than wait for updated Pinnacle TVCenter Pro software.
Other Thoughts: UPDATE - 7 December 2009: Pinnacle support does not even acknowledge my e-mailed request for assistance. Prior purchases of Pinnacle products required zero interaction with support. I see they have updated software for non-US products, so maybe we will get a Win7 version in the US soon.

Our Liberal Arts Moment (The Huffington Post)
February 26, 2014
In response to President Obama's recent remarks about the usefulness of an art history degree, Dartmouth's Daniel Rockmore and Adrian Randolph write a Huffington Post opinion piece about the importance of a liberal arts education. "A society built on the rapid pace of today's technological achievements cries out for a leadership and workforce educated broadly," they write.
"Fifty years ago the launch of Sputnik served as a call to action for a science-educated public," the authors say. "Perhaps the President's recent verbal slip can help lead us to 'liberal arts moment.' We argue for this not out of nostalgia or self-interest, but as a pragmatic response to the needs of many students, who, in order to have productive, satisfying, and meaningful professional lives, will benefit from the breadth and intellectual humility afforded by a liberal arts education."
Rockmore is the William H. Neukom 1964 Professor of Computational Science and director of the Neukom Institute for Computational Science. Randolph is the associate dean of the faculty for the arts and humanities and the Leon E. Williams Professor of Art.

Video: Movie 43 comedy is more offensive and outrageous than we thought
Movie 43 is possibly even more graphic and outlandish than we first thought; see the new trailer.
By Genna Patterson
Movie 43 has a HUGE cast, including Gerard Butler as a leprechaun, Anna Faris as a brown shower lover and Emma Stone as a bit of a slapper. The movie consists of shorts, connected by two kids surfing the internet for the most banned movie in the world. There are over ten directors, including actress Elizabeth Banks(The Hunger Games), Steven Brill (Director of Mr Deeds and Little Nicky) and Peter Farrelly(There's Something About Mary).
The comedy is extremely graphic, as you'll see from the trailer, with dirty talk and embarrassing and inappropriate situations. The cast includes: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Kate Winslet, Stephen Merchant, Johnny Knoxville, Seann William Scott, Chris Pratt, Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts, Kate Bosworth, Terrence Howard, Liv Schreiber, Elizabeth Banks, Justin Long, Kristen Bell, Patrick Warburton, Josh Duhamel, Jason Sudeikis, Chloe Grace Moretz, Josh Duhamel and Kieren Culkin.
Yeah, and that's only some of them.
Movie 43 is released on January 25.

"Bully" led a slew of documentary openers this weekend (at least eight) both in terms of attention and success. The others, including two with significant previous acclaim, reveal the results of the new Oscar rule requiring full week theatrical dates in New York and/or Los Angeles with published reviews in their leading papers. No other limited opening – whether recent festival presentation or (ever-increasing) Video on Demand tie-in – gained much traction. (We will analyze the films that don't report grosses until Monday in a follow-up report.)
"Salmon Fishing in the Yemen" continues to outperform earlier expectations as it nearly doubled its theater count, while "The Raid: Redemption" and "The Deep Blue Sea" quickly moved quickly to add to their already wider than usual first week platform positions.
"Bully" (Weinstein) – Metacritic score: 75; Festivals include: Tribeca 11, Silverdocs 11, Hamptons 11
$115,000 in 5 theaters; PSA (per screen average): $23,000
With the widespread coverage of its ratings controversy as well as its topicality, "Bully" has received more press than most documentaries ever do, as well as upbeat reviews in both NY and LA. On one level, the decent opening gross might seem expected. But the film didn't seem, despite its strong awareness, to be anything sure-fire. Issue docs, particularly those about important but unsettling topics, often disappoint. The docs that are doing well these days tend to focus on creative personalities involved with activities covered in arts and style sections. And, although its subject matter was very different, Weinstein only a month ago failed to get much traction with "Undefeated," even after it won the Best Feature Documentary Oscar (its PSA was less than a third than what "Bully" achieved. (That was partly due to the too-familiar subject inside the sports domain.)
That said, this gross seems impressive. The importance of the subject notwithstanding, it took almost a year to reach theaters after the Weinsteins acquired it out of Tribeca (not the higher-profile Sundance or Toronto). The ratings controversy, legitimate in its aim and necessity, was the fulcrum that got it into the public spotlight.
UPDATE: The complete weekend grosses are now in, and rather than overestimating Sunday, the gross was even better than expected. Sunday was down only a very impressive 11.8%, with two of the five theaters according to sources having their best day of the weekend, which is very unusual. Although pre-set group sales were a factor in at least one theater, the most likely reason is very positive initial word-of-mouth, which usually takes a little longer to take hold.
What it means: This will greatly increase Weinstein's ability to expand this to those chains willing to play an unrated film (most of them), although still under restricted circumstances in most cases, which in turn will reduce the ultimate gross.
"The Island President" (Goldwyn) – Metacritic score: 71; Festivals include; Telluride 11, Toronto 11, Santa Barbara 12
$15,600 in 2 theaters; PSA: $7,800
Winner of the People's Choice as top documentary at last year's Toronto Film Festival (beating "Undefeated," "Into the Abyss," "Pina" and "Paradise Lost 3," among others), this compelling documentary combines a political story in the Indian Ocean island nation of the Maldives and its environmentally-activist now-ex-president's concerns about rising seas. Opening at NY's Film Forum (last Wednesday) and in San Francisco, it had a respectable gross.
What it means: The film is definitely more of a tough-sell niche doc with a "message" hook. But based on these grosses Goldwyn still should be able to roll this out to key markets in upcoming weeks.
"Turn Me On, Dammit!" (New Yorker) – Metacritic score: 70; Festivals include: Tribeca 11, Mill Valley 11, Chicago 11, Rome 11
$11,500 in 2 theaters; PSA: $5,750
A year after its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, this Norwegian adolescent story focusing on a 15-year-old girl and her fight to harness the hormonal forces taking over her life is the most recent release of the reborn post-Dan Talbot New Yorker Films (with longtime executive Jose Lopez as president). Their selections continue to be edgy and distinctive, with this one having a modest NY opening at two high-caliber locations.
What it means: Expect further big city playoff, but this looks to play at levels below other recent foreign language successes.
UPDATED: "Goon" (Magnolia) – Metacritic score: 64; Festivals include: Toronto 11; also available nationally on Video on Demand (VOD)
$49,000 in 31 theaters; PSA: $1,583
Another Toronto 11 Special Presentation, this Canadian comedy with a violent edge about a hockey enforcer managed to eke out some positive reviews to complement its VOD play (normal on most Magnolia films) in NY, LA and Chicago. The total gross was minor, more so when compared to its terrific haul in Canada so far – over $4 million in a country with 1/9th the population of the US.
What it means: More attention for its cable availability.
"The Beat Hotel" (First Run) – Metacritic score: 40
$1,458 in theaters; PSA: $1,458
Quality doc distributor First Run took on this documentary about the Paris residence that became the center of the French beat culture five decades ago. Focusing on residents who included William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsbergh, it failed to get the sort of attention from critics they might have hoped for, its NY opening failed to draw many ticket buyers.
What it means: This doesn't seem poised to go much further.
"Intruders" (Millennium) – Metacritic score: 45; Festivals include: Toronto 11, San Sebastian 11, South by Southwest 12
$40,500 in 33 theaters; PSA: $1,227
Weak grosses despite the pedigree for this upscale horror film. From the director of "Intacto" and "28 Weeks Later," with Clive Owen starring in a solid festival film (a Special Presentation at Toronto rather than a Midnight selection) co-produced by Universal and several European companies and made in Spain, the film has already played to minor grosses in several European markets. Millennium, following its disappointing release of "Rampart," opened this in an unusual mixture of cities (NY, LA, San Francisco, Boston, New Orleans, Phoenix) playing mostly high-end commercial megaplexes. Overall reviews were weak, but both the NY & LA Times spoke favorably of it, to no avail.
What it means: The die is cast for this one, and any further playoff is likely to be limited.

text: Work Sharp Tools just saw a model on DIY network, on the show called i want that. Seemed pretty neat and easy for chisels, axes, hatchets etc. Wonder if the knife sharpening is up to par with hand sharpening. It does not have to be AS GOOD, but close to as good, with about 90 % less time and effort would be ok with me. Curious if anyone has seen these in person, are they junk and half plastic, or are they decent enough, and can expect them to hold up to a homeowners use. Not sharpening the tools of a landscaping company or serious woodsmen. What say you ?

The Charlotte Division of the FBI says the man seen on surveillance video robbing the RBC bank in Colerain on January 27, is the same man seen robbing the East Carolina Bank in Creswell on January 6.
In both robberies the suspect was armed with a silver revolver. He is described as a black male, 20-30 years old, approximately 6', 175-200 lbs. He wore a dark colored cap with what appears to be fake dreadlocks, according to a release from the Charlotte Division of the FBI.
The getaway car is believed to be a white Toyota Corrola or Camry and it is missing a hubcap. There is no description available on the person driving the getaway car.
If you have any information about either robbery, call the Charlotte Division of the FBI at 704-672-6100.
The RBC bank in the Bertie County of Colerain was robbed at gunpoint just before 1 p.m. today.
The bank is located on Highway 45.
The robber used a silver handgun and demanded money. No one was hurt.
A witness told authorities the robber was wearing dress pants, a white shirt, a dress vest but no jacket and a stocking cap. Authorities say the man was black, about 6' tall and 170 pounds.
Authorities say it's possible a white '98 Toyota Camry with one hubcap missing may be connected to the holdup, but they stress that is not certain at this time.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Bertie County Sheriff's Office at (252)794-5330

I am really new to Mojito. I am trying to see if Mojito has the ability to use anything other than YQL. I am looking to create a customized application which talks to an offline database (using MongoDB). I want to know a step by step way to have the application connect to MongoDB in the model and then query the database to get data from database. Also how would the application write data into the database?
I am looking for a detailed example how to setup such an environment? Is there a detailed step by step documentation for the same? From Mojito's documentation and code examples it seems everywhere they are using YQL and I don't have a need for that.
Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks, KA
Hey KA, mojito does not enforce the use of YQL, we use it in the examples and demos for convenience, and since it reflects the way to access data from another layer, and that's all that really matters, we think that's enough, but maybe it is not :)
If you have any specific question, we can try to answer it, but at the moment we don't have any step by step example for accessing MongoDB.

Betty Hickey started growing pumpkins to entertain her grandchildren in 1993. Now, 19 years later, her farm on Caldwell Hill Road in Marshall County yields thousands of the gourds annually that she sells to the public and local stores.
Located about 8 miles from the Elm Grove section of Wheeling off Big Wheeling Creek Road, the Pumpkin Patch offers people the opportunity pick their own pumpkins from Hickey's field. Those who don't feel like traversing the acreage can choose from already-picked pumpkins beside the barns.
''I enjoy it. The kids have a good time,'' Hickey said. ''It's good for them and educational - they see how they grow.''

Using an all-terrain vehicle, Glenn Hickey tows corn stalks past a field full of pumpkins at the Pumpkin Patch in Marshall County.
Betty Hickey, owner of the Pumpkin Patch in Marshall County, sits with a variety of pumpkins and gourds grown on her farm.
Hickey's son, Glenn Hickey, said the farm has the ability to produce 12,000 pumpkins during one growing season, though not all of them will survive to be sold. In addition to fighting insects as they must every year, Glenn Hickey said this summer's crop was nearly a total loss because of drought-like conditions.
''One rain saved us. If we hadn't gotten that one rain, we wouldn't have had pumpkins like this,'' he said.
Over the years, Betty Hickey has learned what varieties of pumpkins grow best on her farm.
In addition to the standard orange pumpkin, they also grow white pumpkins and those with names like ''warty thing,'' ''big moose'' and ''swan gourd.'' They also sell miniature gourds, ornamental corn, cornstalks and straw bales.
''We've never tried to grow huge pumpkins like they do in Barnesville,'' Glenn Hickey said, referring to the annual King Pumpkin contest held during the Barnesville Pumpkin Festival that runs through Sunday. The annual pumpkin weigh-in will be held tonight on the streets of Barnesville, with the festival's opening ceremony to take place Thursday.
Hickey noted each year she hosts a Marshall County Head Start class and gives each child a pumpkin to take home. In addition to her farm, her pumpkins also are sold at the Elm Grove Riesbeck's, the Marshall County Co-op, Knights Farm Supply and are featured in decorations during the Ohio County Country Fair and Boo at the Zoo at Oglebay Park.
The Pumpkin Patch is open daily from 1 p.m. until dark.

Valley of the Sun Medical Dispensary is a plain, white brick industrial building that looks like a typical doctor's office on the inside.
But patients in the waiting room have already seen a doctor and have received certification. When their name is called, they go into a sales room where a cashier in a lab coat stands behind a glass display case full of marijuana samples.
Valley of the Sun Medical Dispensary at 16200 W. Eddie Albert Way makes Goodyear the latest West Valley city with a medical-marijuana dispensary. It opened June 29.
It took about four months to get the necessary approvals from the city and state, Chief Executive Officer Michael Morrow said. Now that it's up and running, the dispensary has been doing well, he said.
"We're really just glad to be open and able to serve the patients and allow them the choice of their natural medicine," Morrow said.
The 7,500-square-foot facility includes two sales rooms, a prep room, waiting room, administrative office and cultivation area. The 5,000-square-foot cultivation area at the back of the building is under construction but is expected to be complete by December. Once ready, Morrow will be able to grow about 300 plants at a time.
Morrow said he hopes to eventually obtain a food-establishment license to sell edibles, or pot-infused goods, such as brownies or cookies. Offering options helps the non-profit serve more patients with different consumption preferences, he said.
The dispensary is among the first to open in the state since voters narrowly approved the legalization of medical marijuana in 2010. About one year ago, the Arizona Department of Health Services conducted a lottery to select 98 non-profit dispensary operators, including 45 in Maricopa County. Since then, 20 of those Maricopa County dispensaries have been given approval to operate, nine of which are in the West Valley, according to department records.
The remainder are working with local governments to meet specifications and seeking final-inspection approval from the state. Dispensaries have about a year to finish the process.
Only one dispensary is allowed in each of the state's 126 "community health analysis areas." These areas, which were previously used to monitor cancer reports, were created using 2000 census data.
Goodyear is part of one of the larger areas, which encompasses 376 square miles. It contains parts of Avondale, Litchfield Park and Buckeye and stretches from West Camelback Road in the north to just south of Arizona 238.
As of June 5, about 272 people in Goodyear's community health analysis area were qualified patient cardholders and less than 20 were qualified patient caregivers, who are also allowed to purchase medical marijuana. Those who live farther than 25 miles away from a dispensary received authorization to cultivate in their homes.
Opening the dispensary
Despite an opening-day hiccup — the event was canceled because the Health Department website needed to verify patients' cards was down — Morrow said Valley of the Sun Medical Dispensary has been very busy.
In its first month, about 300 patients have walked through the doors, he said.
"We've had a steady flow of patients, and it's climbing every day," Morrow said. People are attracted to medical marijuana instead of traditional medications because they don't want to take something that's artificial, he said.
"A lot of people want natural now. They want natural food, they want organic food, they want natural herbs, and I think it's just part of the trend."
Patients who come to Valley of the Sun are first given an educational packet with information on the different marijuana strains, ways they can consume it and its effects. Staff members are available to advise patients, and as required by law, the staff is trained by a medical director.
Then, patients wait to be called into the sales rooms, where they have their choice of 14 strains of marijuana. Prices range from about $14 for a gram of lower-quality medicine up to $353 for an ounce of high-quality medicine. The law restricts patients from possessing more than 2.5 ounces at a time.
Goodyear resident Dave Centi, 51, a Stage 4 cancer patient, is a customer of Valley of the Sun, and at its opening event, he won the grand prize: a free half-ounce of marijuana each month for a year.
Centi said he uses the medicine before bed, after his family is asleep, to help him relax and reduce his pain. Though he has two plants of his own at home, once his free supply runs out, Centi said it will be convenient to have a dispensary in his hometown for additional medicine.
"I think it's a godsend," Centi said. "They're knowledgeable, they answer all my questions. It's just reassuring that I know I got a place like that to go to."
Navigating local rules
Being selected in the state lottery was only the beginning of a long road for dispensary owners like Morrow.
Morrow said he chose to open in Goodyear based on how many city-approved buildings appeared to be available in Goodyear. Also, many potential owners would go after central Phoenix areas, he said.
Though dispensary owners had to get preliminary approval of their locations from a city before applying for the state lottery, they still had to apply for building and zoning permits after the state selected their business.
This process took about three months longer for Morrow than some because he changed locations after winning the lottery. "Everybody's new at this," Morrow said. "(Cities) want to make sure they get it right."
Once he had approval from the city, his last step was to obtain an approval to operate certificate from the state. Dispensary owners have one year to meet all requirements.
Morrow owns a general contracting company, which he said helped him in navigating the system because he was already familiar with it.
"I've been building houses for 30 years, and it's just a process," Morrow said. "It's not that it's such a long time, but you need to plan well."
Goodyear spokeswoman Romina Khananisho said because it was the city's first dispensary, there was a learning curve for both Morrow and Goodyear officials. The city will conduct periodic inspections, but a schedule has not yet been created, Khananisho said.
While the state has its own safety requirements, Arizona Medical Marijuana Program manager Juli Boles said Valley of the Sun went above and beyond some of those requirements.
The law requires dispensaries to install entrance security, panic buttons, exterior lighting and security cameras, but in addition, Morrow also has bulletproof windows, a metal detector and 600-pound magnets on the backs of three doors.
Morrow said that's because in order for people to feel comfortable going to the dispensary, customers and staff need to feel safe.
"We have had no issues whatsoever, and we hopefully never will," Morrow said.

Kogarah's OKI Jubilee Stadium recorded the highest crowd of round 15 when the St.George Bank Dragons hosted the Wests Tigers. The Dragons restored their premiership credentials by thrashing the Tigers by 50-0 in front of a capacity crowd of 16,915.
After an early scare in the second minute when Moodie almost scored for the Tigers, the Dragons completely dominated proceedings. The highlight of the afternoon was the performance of Mark Gasnier who crossed for four scintillating tries.
Gasnier scored two of those in the first-half and with tries to Cooper and Sims, the Dragons went to half-time with a 22-0 lead. Following half-time, Gasnier and his fellow Dragons continued the annihilation and posted the half-century on the stroke of full-time.
While Gasnier was a clear man-of-the-match, the Dragons had a host of top performers including Dean Young, Mathew Head and Lance Thompson.
The afternoon was another triumph for rugby league in the St.George district. With capacity currently restricted to 17,000 at Kogarah, officials turned away approximately 4,000 supporters after the gates were shut.
Kogarah's popularity with supporters justifies further enhancements to the ground. St.George-Illawarra should be looking to add additional seating on the Jubilee Avenue side of the ground next to the new toilet block and on the English Street side of the ground to extend the seating that was installed in 2003.

White House writes to senator pledging to try to sell either F-16s or something else to Taiwan, over and above A/B model upgrades. F-5 retirement is the nominal cause.
For the first time in many years, the US has taken concrete steps on the Taiwan issue. We are draining some of the Kool Aid from the situation that US China policy is all hunky dory.
China's machinations in North Korea make the US angry, and provide adequate diplomatic cover for us to re-arm Taiwan. Hillary Clinton is probably behind this. Bravo.[Edited 2012-04-27 12:24:39]

Clinton's Andrew Taft (20) hits one flush late in the ball game.
Jeff Pexton-MHTS/PGI Photo
The Clinton Warriors left it all on the University of Binghamton baseball field Saturday. In the end, however, the Section II Champion Schalmont Sabres were simply too strong in every department, taking the NYSPHAA Class "B" semifinal by a score of 14-6.
The loss by the Warriors concluded the careers of six seasoned senior veterans, Ian Foxton, Andrew Hobika, Andrew Taft, Alex Dobrzenski, Justin Jandke and Lenny Ortiz.
Each of these players were an integral part of Clinton's rise to a state power over the past several seasons.
It was a strong start for the Sabres this afternoon, plating two runs, on four hits and a walk off of Clinton starter, Jon Hardy, in the top of the first inning.
Greg Musk, Dominic Toma and John Pascarella started the game off with consecutive singles.
Musk scored on Pascarella's hit and Toma later scored on an RBI single from Joe Wignot. Hardy got huge strikeout of Kevin Paskevich with runners at second and third to end the inning with Clinton down by just two.
The Warriors etched out their first of two comebacks in the home half of the first with a nice two out rally.
Ian Foxton was hit by an 0-2 pitch with two outs, followed by a walk to Lenny Ortiz. Justin Jandke's single up the middle scored Foxton to make it 2-1.
Andrew Hobika then stepped in and laced a base hit to right field, scoring Ortiz and tying the game at the 2-2, which is the way we'd go to the second.
Schalmont's grabbed a 5-2 lead in the second, as #9 hitter, Jake Defayette, nailed a one out triple and scored quickly on a ground ball by Greg Musk, which was mishandled by Clinton's Lenny Ortiz, making it 3-2 in favor of the Sabres.
A couple of doubles from Dominic Toma and Joe Wignot later, Schalmont had a three run advantage headed to the bottom of the second.
Schalmont starter, Matt Capovani, made quick work of the Warriors in the second inning and Jon Hardy returned the favor in the top of the 3rd, setting the Sabres down 1-2-3.
The Warriors second comeback of the contest came in the home half of the third when they tied it at 5-5.
Ian Foxton ripped a double to right to start things off, followed by a two out double by Andrew Hobika, making it 5-3.
Back to back singles from Reuben Hernandez and Brandon Broccoli fueled the rest of the comeback and the teams would remain tied at 5-5 all the way to the top of the 6th.
Schalmont put up three more runs in the visitors half of the 6th frame, as Andrew Hobika relieved Jon Hardy on the hill for Clinton.
The Sabres got singles from Musk and Pascarella and then got a big break on a throwing error by Ian Foxton on a ground ball by Chris Hamilton, allowing Musk to score and break the tie.
Brion Dufek then laced a two RBI single to make it 8-5, which is the way we'd go to the home half of the 6th.
Clinton added a run in the bottom of the 6th, as relief pitcher, Greg Musk, walked the first two Warriors to start things off.
A sacrifice bunt from Alex Dobrzenski set the table for Foxton, who laced an RBI single to score Reuben Hernandez, making it 8-6 headed to the 7th.
Schalmont's bats came alive in a big way in the 7th, as the Sabres banged out 5 hits, coupled with a couple of Clinton errors in the field to open up a 14-6 advantage, which is the way this one would come to an end.
Clinton finished another tremendous season with a record of (18-6). The Warriors represented Section III in the State Class "B" semifinals two seasons in a row.
Schalmont (25-1) advanced to play Rye Neck for the Class "B" State Championship game later Saturday afternoon. The Sabers ended the day as state champs, beating Rye Neck 3-1.

Montana Territory celebrates 150 years
By JESSE ZENTZ
The place we now call Montana faced an uncertain future when it gained territorial status 150 years ago, but what would eventually become known as the Treasure State held great promise in 1864.
Gold was king in bustling mining communities like Bannack and Virginia City, which pulsed with activity; while today's larger cities were in their infancy or were simply nonexistent.
Vigilantes played the role of judge, jury and executioner. In a span of less than two months bridging 1863 and 1864, the Montana Vigilantes hanged 24 men as they ruthlessly wiped out Bannack Sheriff Henry Plummer's gang, which killed more than 100 people and robbed countless others.
Agriculture only began to take root in places like the Gallatin Valley in an effort to support the expanding mining communities, but the territory's isolation and other factors limited growth.
American Indians – Montana's original residents – felt the initial squeeze of substantial white settlement and delicate treaties were often ignored by many homesteaders or settlers distracted by the thought of striking it rich.
Want to know more about Montana history? Here's a recommended reading list:
Montana 1864, by Kenneth Egan (due out in September 2014), explores the year Montana became a territory in detail, giving special attention to tribal nations.
Montana: High, Wide, and Handsome, by Joseph Kinsey Howard, is a history book about Montana, but often reads like a novel and provides readers with detailed descriptions and a unique take on this state's past.
The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology, edited by William Kittredge and Annick Smith, features a compilation of some of the very best writing about Montana, which is home to a surprising number of true literary artists.
Montana Territory and the Civil War, by Ken Robison, introduces readers to many of the people touched by the Civil War who populated Montana, demonstrating the incredible impact the events in the eastern United States had on the territory and state.
Montana: A History of Two Centuries, by Michael P. Malone, Richard B Roeder, William L. Lang, offers a general but comprehensive textbook-style history of Montana.
Territorial Politics and Government in Montana 1864-89, by Clark C. Spence, offers a close look at Montana's early political landscape that eventually led to statehood in 1889.
Montana: An Uncommon Land, by K. Ross Toole, provides another take on Montana history that's as enjoyable to read as it is informative.

Your daily dose of true beauty advice…
Third, the woman who fears the Lord is strong. Verse 25 [Proverbs 31], "Strength and dignity are her clothing." Verse 17, "She girds her loins with strength and makes her arms strong." She will be morally strong. Proverbs 23:17 says, "Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day." The woman who continues in the fear of the Lord will have power to resist all the allurements to envy, to desire what she shouldn't have. The fear of the Lord will also increase her intellectual strength. The fear of the Lord is the impulse to wisdom, and rouses the mind to search for knowledge as for hidden treasure. And the fear of the Lord will even increase her physical strength. One of the reasons we let our bodies languish and get weak and out of tone is because we are bored and feel no excitement or hope about the future. But the woman who fears the Lord is confident and hopeful and eager to enter the future with God at her side. This kind of hope always gives us pep and vigor and increases the strength of the weakest among us.
~John Piper in "A Woman Who Fears the Lord is to Be Praised"

Kim Richards Dishes on Her Recovery, Returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
May 04, 2012 08:00 AM by Shayla Perry
Kim Richards has had her share of troubles both on and off camera as she's struggled with her alcohol addiction and numerous stints in rehab. But now, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star says that she's eager to show viewers how far she's come when the series returns to Bravo for Season 3.
"Everyone saw me take a huge spiral downward last year," Richards tells Wetpaint. "Now, I'm really excited for people to see me work my way back up. I want everyone to see that."
Though it was difficult for her to watch herself throughout the show's first two seasons, Kim is finally able to see the positive side of having her struggle documented for all to see — helping others.
"Oh, God, it's been amazing. People will say things to me like, 'You've saved my son's life,' or 'You've helped me so much.' You know, before, I used to have a really hard time admitting I was an alcoholic. But I'm not ashamed or embarrassed any more. It's made me a much stronger person and, hopefully, put me in a place where I can help other people."
That's not to say that she doesn't have any regrets….
"My children have been greatly affected by this. I think they wish it could have all been slipped under the radar…
"But you know, this isn't my first time in recovery. And [during Season 2] I knew what I was doing wasn't right. For me, it's like: Sip one: I need to leave, Sip five: I'm in trouble. But I made the choice to go to work and to let the cameras in and people saw what they saw. Of course I would go back and change that if I could. But I can't change the past, so I have to move forward."
Speaking of moving forward, Kim says that she's "ready" to let the cameras back into her life for Season 3 of RHOBH, and when fans tune in, they'll be seeing a much different side of her.
"People are going to see how hard I'm working. I'm not going to be sitting around with these girls sipping cocktails and just hanging out. I'm going to be very into AA and spending time with the people who have been supporting me."

Lazy Portfolios Revisited
Posted By Jim On 10/27/2008 @ 12:26 pm In Investing | 2 Comments
MarketWatch used to only visit lazy portfolios every once and a while (it was hard to justify looking at "lazy" portfolios that performed well when you could point out far sexier returns on sub-prime mortgages!) but with the recent financial woes, Paul Farrell had been checking on them more often. It looks like they've turned it into a section on the Marketwatch site and the lazy portfolios aren't performing very well [3] (not surprising but better than their benchmark, the S&P 500!).
The new Lazy Portfolio center tracks eight lazy portolios:
For those who aren't familiar with Lazy Portfolios, they're allocations of popular index funds. I did a whole writeup on some popular lazy portfolios [4] including Scott Burns' Couch Potato portfolio and Margaritaville portfolio.

Columbus Police say 32-year-old Crystal Nichols embezzled thousands of dollars from her former employer, GWF Co. & Sons.
Nichols is accused of spending $222,432 of the company's money on goods and services for her personal benefit. Documents show she spent $9,276 on cosmetic surgery, $19,000 for construction on a former residence and $23,269 to Capital One.
The alleged thefts occurred between August 2010 and July 2013. Nichols is charged with theft from the elderly. She was in court Friday where a judge set her bond at $500,000.
According to court documents, the now-bankrupt company was owned by 75-year-old Gerald Fazekas.

The Orissa government today directed mining leaseholders to sell at last 50 per cent of iron ore lumps and 50 per cent of the fines produced from the mineheads to steel and sponge iron makers in the state every month.
Over 200 sponge iron makers and steel producers, who dont have captive iron ore mines, are reportedly on the verge of closure after several mines closed down due to lack of regulatory approvals since the last two years.
Mines that were in operation were charging exorbitant rates from the user industries.
Concerned over the distress situation faced by these industries, the state steel and mines department on Wednesday asked all the deputy directors of mines to ensure that at last 50 per cent of the iron ore lumps and 50 per cent of the fines produced from the mines in any month, but not put to captive use by the leaseholder, would be sold to the stand-alone mineral-based industries located in the state at a fair market price.
The steel and mines department issued the order under the provisions of the Mineral Concession Rules, 1960. The order would be effective immediately.

Meet the Team
Jenny Erbes, B.A.
Snowy Plover Project Biologist
Pacific Coast and Central Valley
As a shorebird ecologist with the Pacific Coast and Central Valley Group at Point Blue, I predominantly research the natural history of snowy plovers in the Monterey Bay area. I work on wildlife refuge and state park lands and, in partnership with these agencies, apply our findings to guide land management and conservation of plovers.
In 2000 I graduated with a degree in Zoology from Miami University in my home state of Ohio. I spent my college years working as a naturalist and in raptor rehabilitation. After graduation I was finally free to head for the mountains and west I went, spending time in the Colorado Rockies before driving up to Alaska where I stopped when the road ended, in Seward. While there I continued on the rehab and education track, interning at the Alaska Sealife Center for a summer. When the aurora borealis appeared I headed south and wandered my way into an internship at Moss Landing Marine Labs in Monterey Bay. Within a few months, in the spring of 2002, I had even more incredible luck when I was offered a job working with snowy plovers on this project that I am still a part of today.
In addition to plover work, I've enjoyed four fall stints on the Farallones, banding passerines and doing white shark research with Point Blue, as well as banding passerines on the island of St. Martin in the Caribbean for EPIC. I was also involved in the banding and monitoring of oiled snowy plovers in San Francisco Bay during the Cosco Busan oil spill. I love spending time in wild places and my passion lies in conserving these areas while reconnecting humans with their wild side. When not plovering, I can be found in the fall colors of the mountains, in the winter bold-sky deserts, or photographing surfers along the coast.

According to ESRB, this game contains: Fantasy Violence, Mild Language, Suggestive Themes
Parents will notice that Shining Force Neo has earned a Teen rating, but I'd be hard pressed to tell them why. Yes, there's some mild language, but I'm pretty much at a loss as to where the "suggestive themes" were in the game. The violence is pretty innocuous as well—there's no blood or gore anywhere in the game.
Shining Force fans will be disappointed to learn that this isn't a traditional Shining Force title. However, once the initial anger passes, there's a really good hack-and-slash game here that should please anyone who spent months of their life playing Diablo. Granted, this game isn't as deep as Diablo, but it does have that same addictive quality that will keep gamers coming back for more.
Casual Gamers will no doubt love the simplicity of the game, which truly is a "pick-up-and-play" experience, but the length of the game (nearly 60 hours by the time all the side dungeons are beaten) might be too much for people with a limited amount of time to sit on the couch.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers are lucky in that they won't have to listen to the insipid voice acting featured in the game, nor the endlessly repeated battle phrases. On the downside, the CG sequences don't feature any subtitles, so the hearing impaired will be missing out on story elements during the few times those sequences turn up in the narrative. Fortunately, there aren't many of these sequences in the game.

Oklahoma scene: OU adds Arizona's leading home run hitter from last season
An already strong Oklahoma softball team added a huge transfer Thursday, when former Arizona infielder Shelby Pendley joined the Sooners.
Pendley, who led Arizona last season in home runs (19) and slugging percentage (. 703), becomes part of a potent OU lineup that hit a Big 12-record 102 homers last season. The Sooners finished runner-up in the Women's College World Series last spring — and 13 letter winners return, including power hitters Lauren Chamberlain (30 homers), Jessica Shults (20) and Keilani Ricketts (17).
Pendley was a first-team All-Pac 12 selection. She started 57 games at shortstop last season.
The sophomore from Rio Rancho, N.M., is eligible immediately.
"She has so much power, which is one of our strengths already, so adding her to the lineup potentially is lethal because you just can't throw around anybody to get to somebody else," OU coach Patty Gasso said.
The American Sprint Car Series announced its Sooner Region schedule for the 2013 season. The season opener is April 13 at Kennedale Speedway Park in Texas; the first race in Oklahoma is set for April 19 at Creek County Speedway in Sapulpa. The schedule includes 14 point races in Oklahoma, including stops at Lawton Speedway, Mid-America Speedway in South Coffeyville, South 69 Speedway in Wainwright and Thunderbird Speedway in Muskogee. A complete schedule can be found on page 5C.

David Saska, helped revive family restaurant, 67
David Saska earned his chops in the San Diego restaurant industry working at Chuck's Steak House, a La Jolla landmark for three decades, where he learned to cut meat and grill steaks to perfection from his brother, Jerry.
The skills he picked up there and at the Brigantine in Point Loma were put to use at Saska's Restaurant, his family's Mission Beach steakhouse, when he took over in the early 1970s, and as he came into his own as a local restaurateur.
Mr. Saska's brother, Tom, credits him with reviving the family business.
"David was the big brother, the one with all the experience," he said about his older sibling taking over Saska's, which had been run for years by a manager after his father's death. "The first thing he did was add seafood and fresh fish to the menu."
Today, Saska's is more than a steak and seafood place. It's an institution that's been part of the beach community since Joe and Pauline Saska bought the High Tide Bar in 1951 and turned it into one of Mission Beach's first restaurants.
Joe Botkin, a friend for more than four decades, called Mr. Saska "the cream of cafe society."
"David was known as the best broilerman in town," Botkin said. "He understood the whole business of selecting meat, cutting steaks, and broiling them. He was the best."
And he had high expectations.
"He was absolutely dedicated to fresh foods and family recipes," Botkin said. "He had no tolerance for anything but the best — the best products, your best efforts, the best he could be."
Overseeing quality at the beach side restaurant, known for its signature steak dinners, and running the front of the house, Mr. Saska found ways to make the operation more efficient. Over the years, he put his expertise to work by building on the surf-and-turf concept and expanding into new areas with his own ventures. Through the 1970s and '80s, Mr. Saska opened Saska's East in Brawley, Saska's New Place in Point Loma and Aloha Louie's in La Jolla.
Seizing a real estate opportunity in 1998, he purchased The Barbecue Pit, a family restaurant he renamed and ran as Boomer's Bar-B-Que, and the landmark Pacific Beach building it was in.
Mr. Saska suffered a stroke in June and died July 21 in his Bay Park home. He was 67.
David Alfred Saska was born Aug. 21, 1946, in San Diego, the first of seven children to Joseph and Pauline Scott Saska, who were already a family of five when he arrived. His parents had three children from their previous marriages, making growing up Saska a bit like the 1968 comedy "Yours, Mine and Ours," said his brother, Tom. When Joseph died in 1960, Mr. Saska became the head of the family.
"When my father passed at an early age, David became a father figure to all his younger brothers and sisters," he said. "He was always mature for his age, always a good businessman, and very intelligent."
Todd Brown, owner of Bub's Dive Bar in Pacific Beach, met Mr. Saska when he was looking to sell the barbecue business. Brown didn't buy the business, but he did end up buying the building after leasing space in it for 16 years — and becoming a close friend.
"He was such a good guy. He invested in the community, and in the restaurant business," Brown said. "He gave me my shot to do my own restaurant."
Not one to rely solely on family ties, Mr. Saska sought to build his own success and had a quality important in his business.

A minimally descent professional web page should have:

3) A short biography noting research and teaching interests
4) A CV, updated at least once a year. (This assumes the person does at least one thing a year.) The CV should not be a word document.
A better page would include
5) A picture that is less than 10 years old (prospective students want to know if you'll die soon!)

Martin 000-15SM Mahogany Custom Now Shipping
We wrote back in February about the Martin 000-15SM Custom being developed by Martin and My Favorite Guitars. From our regular trolling in the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum, we have learned that the guitar is now shipping to the first 28 people that ordered the guitar. As we reported last month, the Martin 000-15SM Custom has the same appointments as the new Martin 000-15M and Martin D-15M but with the 12-fret body style of the Martin 000-15S.
My Favorite Guitars is currently taking orders for the next batch – which we would also expect to sell out. The gutiar is now priced by MFG at $1,249.
If you can't afford to spend that much or can't wait that long, we'd suggest taking a look at the Recording King ROS-606. It's available for just over half the price and is currently shipping from Amazon.

Mine arrived Thursday.(number nine of the first twentyeight). With bone nut, saddle, and ebony pins there is not much to set-up. Neck relief seems to be spot on.I may lower the action a hair. Played for an hour or so; Good projection. very well balanced, clear mids and trebles, and some of that Martin growl on the bottom.
I ordered mine in February and it finally arrived thursday(I was ninth of the first twentyeight if this helps those waiting for thiers. Not wanting to wait all day I arranged to pick up at the local UPS customer center.
with bone nut, saddle, and ebony pins there is not much left to set-up; although I may lower the action a hair. well bookmatched top and back with good looking rosewood headstock, fretboard, and bridge.
This smaller guitar has great projection, and is extremely well balanced(even when getting after it and digging in); Clear mids, and trebles, and some of that Martin growl on the bottom. There are no dissapointments with this guitar it is w3hat I was wanting and some more. All in all one of the better values I've come across in quite some time.
