Go for a Run
Whether you're training for a marathon or just trying to avoid the holiday bulge, Charity Miles makes your regular workout work even harder. Just download the app, pick a charity to support (we're fans of [She's the First])(http://www.shesthefirst.org), and start exercising—they'll donate $.25 per mile for running and walking, and $.10 per mile for biking.
Brown-Bag It
If you knew that the money you'd save by bringing your lunch to work or skipping popcorn at the movies could provide someone with HIV medicine or clean water, you'd do it, right? The app Instead makes those tiny tweaks easy by presenting the tradeoffs and allowing you to donate directly through the app.
Buy Raffle Tickets
Omaze makes charity auctions accessible to anyone, no matter how much money they have to spend. The site aggregates o-mazing (sorry, had to) experiences like meeting celebrities and VIP access to events, and then provides the chance to win in exchange for a $10 donation to an associated cause. Winners are chosen via raffle; you can rack up additional entries by donating more than once and spreading the word through your social channels.
Take More Pictures of Your Food
It's true—even your annoying habit of Instagramming your breakfast can help a good cause. The Instagram filter FoodShareFilter supports an agricultural program in El Salvador, and a portion of the cost to purchase their app ($0.99–$1.16) goes directly to the charity. Take a picture of your food with the app and add #FoodShareFilter. The app will automatically add a message about preventing hunger and post to your Instagram so you're spreading the word about the charity.
Search the Web
It's hard to believe, but you can actually give back simply by searching the Internet. Several search engines donate to causes every time you enter a query. The most established is Good Search, but we also just discovered Bene, an organization started by high schoolers in Seattle that donates 100% of revenue.
If you're interested in doing even more this season, either through a donation or volunteering, we recommend taking a look at GiveWell, a charity research organization that will help you find the best places to focus your time and energy.

ONE of the problems at Whitchurch Silk Mill was that there was too much silk, a meeting heard.
Whitchurch Town Councillor Claire Isbester, who is on the mill's board of trustees, told councillors on Monday that the surplus stock was discovered as the new board tried to learn from past problems and succeses. She said the mill had three quarters of a ton of silk yarn – enough for more than 150 production runs.
She added: "Silk yarn does not last forever, risking becoming too brittle for the tension of a machine loom if kept for too long in the wrong conditions so this is another reason it is not prudent to keep large stocks."
To deal with this problem a sale was held at the mill last weekend, which attracted about 500 people.
The historic mill in Winchester Street, now run by a trust, stopped producing silk after 200 years in December 2011, because it was costing too much money.
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council also withheld its annual grant for the mill, because its requirements were not being met.
Cllr Isbester said the new trustees were aiming to provide health and safety and equal opportunities policies and report on visitor numbers and customer satisfaction. As a consequence, the borough council grant had now been paid, she said.
From April, the silk mill will be supported with grants of £21,000 each from the borough council and Hampshire County Council. Both councils have made the grants conditional on proper business planning, with the county council offering two days of consultancy support. The borough's grant is down from the £25,650 it allocated this year.
A report to last week's borough council Cabinet said although "some issues remain outstanding with regard to the legality of the new board", the board was working towards the mill becoming less dependent on taxpayers' money.
It wanted to resume silk production to address "some recent negative comments from visitors".
The mill received between 10,000 and 11,000 visits per year and the aim was to increase visits by 20 per cent through more innovative marketing, the report said. It also said the new board wanted to reverse "the growing distance between the mill and the local community".

Date of Defense 2002-03-26 Availability unrestricted AbstractResearchers at Louisiana State University, LSU, have introduced several petrophysical models expressing the electric properties of shaly sands. These models, to be used for hydrocarbon detection, are based on the Waxman and Smits concept of supplementing the water conductivity with a clay counterions conductivity. The LSU models also utilize the Dual Water theory, which relates each conductivity term to a particular type of water, free and bound, each occupying a specific volume of the total pore space. The main difference between these models and the other shaly sand models is that the counterion conductivity is represented by a hypothetical sodium chloride electrolyte.
This study introduces a modified version of early LSU models. This modified model eliminates a questionable assumption incorporated in all previous shaly sand models. Previous models use same formation resistivity factor for all terms in the model. The proposed model considers that the electric current follows the effective porosity path in the term representing the free electrolyte and follows the clay porosity path in the term representing bound water. The differentiation between the two paths is accomplished by using two different formation factors one in the free water and another in the bound water term of the model. It also used two different cementation exponents to express formation factors in terms of porosity.
The validity of the new model was checked using cation exchange capacities measured on core samples and drill cuttings. Calculated cation exchange capacities display good agreement with the measured cation exchange capacities. The water saturation calculated using the new model are more representative of hydrocarbon potential of the zones of interest.
In addition, cation exchange capacity calculated using this modified model and log data acquired during drilling has shown potential for diagnosis of pending bit balling of PDC bits drilled with water based mud in overpressured shale.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/8/2014 (1111 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Then, the Rooneys did what no National Football League offensive lineman could ever do to the leader of the Steel Curtain defence: They made Greene weak in the knees.
"I was sitting down and I got weak in the chair," Greene said Wednesday afternoon in a telephone interview from his home outside Dallas, describing the way he felt when he was told his No. 75 jersey was going to be retired.
Greene, a member of the Steelers organization for 27 years as a player, coach and scout, understood the significance of the honour.
For 50 years, Ernie Stautner, a defensive tackle like Greene, had been the only Steelers player to have his jersey number (70) retired. That was done at Pitt Stadium in 1964.
Greene's No. 75 will officially be retired Nov. 2 when the Steelers play host to the Baltimore Ravens at Heinz Field, the Rooneys announced Wednesday.
"I feel so wonderful," Greene said. "I was flabbergasted when Dan and Art mentioned it to me. I know what it means to the Steelers when they do something of this magnitude. I say that because they haven't done it in a long time.
"It is so special. When I think of my associations with the Steelers over the years, it's as a player and the Super Bowls, it's as a coach and it's as a scout and then of course the Hall of Fame. Now having my No. 75 retired is another milestone in my career as a Pittsburgh Steeler. I was so proud to be a Steeler and continue to be a Steeler."
Art Rooney said he had wanted to retire Greene's number for years, but the concern always was the number of other jerseys that would have to be retired because there were so many Steelers greats from the 1970s.
Rooney said decisions on other players will be made in the future, but he said Greene deserved to be the first of the Super Bowl team members of the 1970s to receive the honour.
"We decided now was the time," Rooney said. "We don't have to decide who is next. Joe is the obvious person from the '70s team to go first. We're excited to honour him and his many contributions to the Steelers."
Greene played from 1969 until 1981 and was a driving force behind the team's march to four Super Bowl victories in a six-year span from 1975-80. Many consider Greene to be the greatest Steelers player. He was a 10-time Pro Bowler and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987.
"I don't think it was a difficult decision at all, because it was Joe Greene," Dan Rooney said. "It was not a difficult decision as far as we were concerned because of what Joe was. This doesn't take anything away from Ernie. Joe is something special. What he did, the way he acted. He is much deserving of this honour.
"I think this is a tremendous thing to do. Joe was the cornerstone to the team. Chuck Noll came and the first pick he made was Joe. Joe had a great determination to win. He pushed everyone in the organization."
Greene was the Steelers' No. 1 draft choice in 1969. He was voted the rookie of the year and made the first of 10 consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl. After his playing career, Greene coached for the Steelers from 1987-91 and later served nine years as a Steelers scout.
Greene, 67, said his Hall of Fame career would not have been possible if not for the Rooney family and Noll, who died this year.
"I was fortunate enough to have a great ownership group and Chuck," Greene said. "Being in that group of men, that is what made it all possible. I was in Pittsburgh in 1969 and I saw what it was to be a Steeler at that time. I saw and lived what happened. When Dan took over and Chuck came in, everything changed. This is a signature thing for me, but I cannot stand alone without the people who impacted my life so much."
Greene said he chose the Ravens game for the ceremony because they are the team's biggest rival.
"Probably because they have emerged as the No. 1 antagonist," Greene said, laughing. "During my days it was Cleveland and then it was Cincinnati and then Houston. It's been the Ravens for a while. I did it knowing that it's going to be a hotly contested game."
The Steelers had not issued Greene's No. 75 to any of their players since he retired. Other numbers the team does not issue include Terry Bradshaw's No. 12, Franco Harris' No. 32, Mike Webster's No. 52, Jack Lambert's No. 58 and Jack Ham's No. 59.
"That was the hesitation for a long time," Art Rooney said.
"If we started down this road, where do we stop? Are there enough numbers to go around for all the guys who deserve to maybe have their numbers retired? The decision we made was we'll make the decisions one at a time and not decide about any other jerseys at this point."

The mandarin in charge of the Attorney-General's Department, Roger Wilkins, will step down from his $700,000 a year position when his term ends at the end of this month to continue a massive shake-up of the federal public service's power structure.
Six department heads have now either been sacked or have resigned since the Tony Abbott came to power almost a year ago.
A statement from the Prime Minister's office said Mr Wilkins had a distinguished public service career, having led the department since September 2008.
Mr Wilkins, a man known for his love of bow ties, had been director-general of the Cabinet Office in New South Wales from 1992 to 2006 and was the director-general of the NSW Arts Ministry from 2001-2006.
''I thank him for his contribution to public life in Australia and wish him well for the future,'' a statement from Prime Minister Tony Abbott said.
''I will announce arrangements for the position of the Secretary of the Attorney-General's Department in the near future."
High-ranking secretaries in the federal bureaucracy who served in the Labor era are slowly leaving the public service.
Treasury secretary Martin Parkinson will leave this year.
Finance Department secretary David Tune lodged his resignation in May.
Just after Mr Abbott won office, he sacked Industry Department head Don Russell, Energy boss Blair Comley and Agriculture secretary Andrew Metcalfe.
In an interview with News Limited just before he took up the job at the department in 2008 in which he was described as a safe pair of hands, Mr Wilkins, who could read Kant in the original German, said his goal was to give up smoking.
It was not known whether the elite public servant, now aged in his 60s, was successful in this.
Mr Wilkins' website biography said he also served as Citi's head of government and public sector group Australia and New Zealand and was Citi's global public sector leader on climate change from 2006-2008.
Mr Wilkins has chaired several national taskforces and committees dealing with public sector reform, including the Council of Australian Government committee on regulatory reform, the national health taskforce on mental health and the national emissions trading taskforce.
Mr Wilkins was the vice-president of the financial action taskforce for 2013-14 and is president for 2014-15.

Papers, reports, and poster submissions addressing the conference theme as well as a wide range of metadata topics are welcome. Please note that the submission deadline for papers, reports and posters is 30 March 2008.
2007-12-03, An updated specification for DC-TEXT — a syntax for serializing, or representing, a Dublin Core metadata description set in plain text — has been published as a DCMI Recommended Resource. A new Web page for formal reviews of application profiles by the Usage Board now links to a review of the Collections Application Profile. Public Comment closed on 3 December 2008 for the DCMI Proposed Recommendation, "Expressing Dublin Core metadata using HTML/XHTML meta and link elements".
2007-11-05, At the meeting of the DCMI Global Corporate Circle at DC-2007 in Singapore it was suggested to re-focus the group from its charter that places the main attention on application of Dublin Core metadata in corporate environments to a more general focus on Knowledge Management. After further discussion by the DCMI Advisory Board, the suggestion was accepted. As a result, we are now announcing the establishement of the new DCMI Knowledge Management Community. The group is moderated by Mary Woodley of the California State University Northridge and Johannes Keizer of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome. Johannes has also become a member of the DCMI Advisory Board. An invitation to participate in the Knowledge Management Community will be distributed shortly on DC-General and on other lists. The DCMI Global Corporate Circle will be deactivated in the next month.
2007-11-05, Public Comment is being held from 5 November through 3 December 2007 on the DCMI Proposed Recommendation, "Expressing Dublin Core metadata using HTML/XHTML meta and link elements" by Pete Johnston and Andy Powell. Interested members of the public are invited to post comments to the DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list, including "[DC-HTML Public Comment]" in the subject line. Depending on comments received, the specification may be finalized after the comment period as a DCMI Recommendation.
2007-10-01, At the DCMI Advisory Board meeting in Singapore on 1 September, a new Community was established, the DCMI Scholarly Communications Community.

2007-08-06, As part of a program to evaluate the Web site and documentation published by DCMI, a survey has been developed asking a broad range of users for their feedback on DCMI's Web presence. Results will be anonymous, but in hopes that some responders will be willing to provide additional feedback, a place for names and e-mail addresses is included to allow more in depth interviews as well. Members of the DCMI community are encouraged to distribute the questionnaire announcement to those who might be interested in assisting in this Web site review. If distribution is made to mailing lists, please copy Diane Hillmann on the distribution e-mail so that the review team can track how broadly the questionnaire has been seen. The questionnaire will be available through 5 September 2007 only, so please don't delay in your responses. Go to the survey....
2007-08-06, Following the changes in work structure that have taken place since DC-2006, the DCMI Directorate, in consultation with the DCMI Usage Board and DCMI Advisory Board, has revised the approval processes for DCMI documents. As of August 2007, the new procedure described in the DCMI Process Document Procedure for approval of proposals by DCMI is in effect. Please also note the Proposal Submission Form that can be used for submission of proposals.
2007-08-06, DCMI has commissioned two work items that are related to the development of Application Profiles. The first is a specification of a DCMI Description Set Profile as part of a more formal DCMI Application Profile Model, drafted by Mikael Nilsson. Following from that work, Fredrik Enoksson is designing a Wiki format for Dublin Core Application Profiles which both renders the profile readably in HTML and is structured in such a way that it can be automatically converted by a script into an XML format. The work also includes designing and building a tool for transforming an Application Profile in the Wiki format into an XML representation of the profile. Results of this work are foreseen to be demonstrated at a plenary Architecture session at DC-2007 on Tuesday 28 August 2007.
2007-07-02, The Organizing Committee of DC-2007, to be held 27-31 August 2007 in Singapore, is pleased to announce that the Guest of Honour at the conference opening will be Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Singapore's Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports and Second Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts. The conference program has been updated and now contains the titles and presenters of the Conference Papers, as well as more information on the workshop and special sessions. Please note that the early bird registration closes on 9 July. Full rates apply from 10 July. The Call for Sponsors is still open.
2007-07-02, Public Comment is being held from 2 through 30 July on a set of editorial revisions to existing DCMI terms and on a proposed set of classes for use as domains and ranges of DCMI properties. Domains and ranges reinforce the natural-language definition of a property with explicit statements that support inferences about the type of resource being described. Interested members of the public are invited to post comments to the DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list, including "[Public Comment]" in the subject line. After Public Comment, the proposal will be submitted to the DCMI Usage Board for finalization.
2007-07-02, Following a public comment period earlier this year, a revised DCMI Namespace Policy has been published. The revision documents the creation of a new namespace for entities of the DCMI Abstract Model and updates the terminology used.
2007-06-04, The Organizing Committee of DC-2007, to be held in Singapore from 27 through 31 August 2007, has published the preliminary program for the conference. Keynotes will be given by Johannes Keizer, team leader for Semantic Standards in the Knowledge Exchange and Capacity Building Division of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Rome and Zhang Xiaoxing, Deputy Director of the National Cultural Information Resource Center of China. Online registration is now open. Please note the early bird rates that are valid until the 9th of July 2007. The Call for Sponsors is still open.
2007-06-04, A new DCMI Task Group is being set up for collaborative work on Resource Description and Access (RDA), a library standard being developed for resource description and access in the digital world, building on foundations established by the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules (AACR). The Task Group, led by Diane Hillmann of Cornell University and Gordon Dunsire of Strathclyde University, is being set up in response to recommendations of a meeting hosted by the British Library on 30 April and 1 May 2007 between people involved in DCMI, the Semantic Web community and developers of RDA. The charter of the Task Group is to define components of RDA as an RDF vocabulary for use in developing a Dublin Core application profile. The work will be done through a mailing list email@example.com and a Wiki. For more information, please contact Diane Hillmann.
2007-06-04, Based on work done by Barbara Gorson and subsequent review by a committee of the DCMI Advisory Board, a general presentation of the benefits of using Dublin Core metadata has been produced under the title "Making Information Work: the Dublin Core Way".
2007-06-04, As the result of a five-year review, an updated version of the "The Dublin Core Metadata Element Set" has been published as ANSI/NISO Standard Z39.85-2007.
2007-06-04, Incorporating resolutions of comments received in the public comment period in April 2007, a revised version of the DCMI Abstract Model has been approved as a DCMI Recommendation. A related specification "Expressing Dublin Core metadata using the Resource Description Framework (RDF)" supersedes a 2002 Proposed Recommendation on "Expressing Qualified Dublin Core in RDF / XML". The new RDF specification remains a DCMI Proposed Recommendation pending the resolution of issues raised during the public comment period.
2007-05-18, DCMI has published a Call for Tender for the creation of a structured document format expressing a Description Set Profile (part of a Dublin Core Application Profile) as a wiki page, along with a script for transforming the wiki document into a machine-processable representation in XML.
2007-05-07, The official Web site of DC-2007, to be held in Singapore from 27 through 31 August 2007, is now online. Information about the conference will be posted on a regular basis. Organizations interested in sponsoring the event are kindly invited to look at the Call for Sponsors.
2007-05-07, The DCMI Directorate has awarded a contract to Mikael Nilsson (Knowmania HB, Sweden) to draft a specification modelling a "Description Set Profile" — the core component of an Application Profile — as a formal set of templates and constraints on the basis of the DCMI Abstract Model. A first draft of this specification will form the basis of subsequent Call for Tender to design a structured document format in support of formally defined Application Profiles.
2007-05-07, At the ELPUB conference in Vienna, a DCMI Tools workshop will be held under the title "Ontologies for Digital Application Description". The workshop will take place on 13 June 2007 and focus on the development of an ontology for the description of algorithms, tools, and applications developed in the context of the Semantic Web and DCMI metadata definitions. The workshop is open for all participants of the ELPUB conference and members of the DCMI Tools community. For more information, see the DCMI Tools Community page.
2007-04-02, The Program Committee for DC-2007, to be held in Singapore from 27 through 31 August 2007, has extended the deadline for submission of papers to 16 April 2007. For more information, please see the Call for Papers.
2007-04-02, The DCMI Directorate has awarded the two Calls for Tender, issued in March 2007, to Diane Hillmann and Jon Phipps at Cornell University. Over the next couple of months they will be analyzing the usage of the Web site and the DCMI documentation, and give recommendations for improvement.
2007-04-02, Public comment will be held from 2 to 30 April 2007 on two related documents: the "DCMI Abstract Model" and the specification "Expressing Dublin Core metadata using the Resource Description Framework", or DC-RDF. In accordance with feedback received in an earlier public comment period from 4 February to 4 March 2007, the Abstract Model has been modified to differentiate literal and non-literal values in order to support unambiguous transformations into RDF from any encoding syntax that follows the Abstract Model. The DC-RDF specification, a DCMI Proposed Recommendation, updates an earlier draft in line with the latest version of the Abstract Model, as detailed in the document "Notes on DCMI specifications for Dublin Core metadata in RDF"
2007-04-02. After four years of service, Andy Powell of Eduserve Foundation (UK) is stepping down as moderator of the DCMI Architecture Forum. Mikael Nilsson of KTH, Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), co-author of the DCMI Abstract Model and the specification for expressing Dublin Core metadata in RDF, will co-moderate the forum together with Thomas Baker of DCMI. Mikael in now also a member of the DCMI Advisory Board.
2007-04-02, The DCMI Usage Board held its mid-year meeting in Barcelona on 16-17 March 2007. The Usage Board reviewed a revised version of the Collection Description Application Profile, determined that it "conforms" to the DCMI Abstract Model, and is finalizing a formal review. A proposal for assigning domains and ranges to DCMI properties was discussed in light of public comment and is being revised for a further round of public comment in May 2007. The Usage Board formulated responses to comments submitted during a five-year review of NISO/ANSI Z39.85-2001 (the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set) held from 23 January to 8 March 2007. Having completed editorial revisions of the Element Set and the Type Vocabulary, the Usage Board is currently preparing a set of clarifications and updates to the remaining DCMI metadata terms for public comment later this year.
2007-03-05, DCMI has published two Calls for Tender, one for Analysis of and Recommendations for DCMI Web site and one for User-oriented introductory material and training resources. The deadline for offers is 14 March 2007.
2007-03-05, The DCMI Directorate is very pleased to announce that on 28 February 2007, a new version of the DCMI Conference Paper Repository has been installed at the National Library of Korea. The National Library of Korea, in co-operation with Sam Oh of Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, have built a system to give public access to the papers of the conferences held in Florence (2002), Seattle (2003), Shanghai (2004) and Madrid (2005). The papers of the conference of 2006 in Manzanillo will be added in the near future. The Repository can be accessed from the link in the left-hand navigation bar on the DCMI home page.
2007-03-05, Makx Dekkers, DCMI Managing Director, has published a new status report of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, covering the period September 2006 to March 2007. Read the report...
2007-03-05, The public comment period for the revised version of the Abstract Model, the revised DCMI Namespace Policy and a proposal for a vocabulary of classes and their use as the domains and ranges has now finished after a lively discussion on the DC-Architecture list. The authors of the documents will be considering the comments received. Further announcements are expected in the next few months.
2007-03-05, The Tutorials of the DC-2006 conference in Manzanillo are now available on the Metadata Training Resources page on the DCMI home page.
2007-02-05, The DCMI Abstract Model, which attained the status of DCMI Recommendation in March 2005, has been revised in light of discussion and feedback from the DCMI Architecture Working Group, the DCMI Usage Board, and the broader community. This revised version of the Abstract Model has been posted for a four-week public comment period. A revised DCMI Namespace Policy proposing a new DCMI namespace for Abstract Model entities has been posted for comment at the same time. For more information please consult a longer announcement on the DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list. Interested members of the public are invited to post comments on these Proposed Recommendations to the DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list, including "[DCAM Public Comment]" in the subject line. Public Comment will be open from 5 February through 5 March 2007.
2007-02-05, In connection with the revision of the DCMI Abstract Model, Andy Powell has developed a proposal for a vocabulary of classes and their use as the domains and ranges of metadata elements maintained by DCMI. Domains and ranges specify -- in a form usable for inferencing -- what kind of described resources and value resources are associated with a given property. The assignment of formal domains and ranges makes the meanings implicit in natural-language definitions available for machine processing. So as not to affect the conformance of legacy implementations of Simple Dublin Core in RDF (see notes on this issue), DCMI proposes to replicate the fifteen elements of the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set — currently identified using the namespace http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ — in the namespace http://purl.org/dc/terms/. Terms in the former namespace are to remain unspecified as to domain and range; terms in the latter are to be assigned domains and ranges as outlined in the proposal. "Domains and Ranges for DCMI Properties" has been posted for Public Comment from 5 February through 5 March 2007. Interested members of the public are invited to post comments to the DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list, including "[Domains and Ranges Public Comment]" in the subject line. After Public Comment, the proposal will be submitted to the DCMI Usage Board for a further review and decision.
2007-02-05, The next meetings of the DCMI Board of Trustees and Usage Board will take place in Barcelona in March 2007 at the premises of Barcelona Media. The Usage Board meeting is scheduled for 16 and 17 March, while the Trustees will meet on 18 March 2007.
2007-01-15, The Program Committee for DC-2007, to be held in Singapore from 27 through 31 August 2007, has issued the Call for Papers for the conference. Please note that the deadline for submission of papers is 2 April 2007.

Gary Busey was in a Motorcycle accident, He wasn't wearing a helmet and almost died. The accident caused his eccentric behavior.Few points:
1. Were they supposed to judge the winner on the book or the performance. The reason I say that was because you could tell the kids enjoyed the women's performance more than the men's. The books, yes the men's was the clear winner, but it was confusing IMHO what was supposed to be the bigger scoring event here.
2. Lisa was doomed - she was right in a few cases, but the two she brought in were going to tear her to shreds.
3. Seriously - Donald, Marlee is deaf, she probably wouldn't bother really with anyone in music unless they also act. She most likely wouldn't know that Dionne was a star for that reason. (This BTW is not a slant on Marlee, she could've done research on music for interest, but if you can't hear, you wouldn't spend money necessarily on music). I actually thought it was rather rude and ignorant on Donald's part myself.
4. Speaking of Marlee - I liked the fact she stood up for herself and her idea. She may not have won, but at least she stood up for it. I did like her idea myself, because kids are so interested in things such as sign language at the age they were targeting. I have kids ages 4 and 5 interested in fused glass and making it, but I tell them they have to be at least 18 before they try because it's very dangerous and hot. Doesn't stop them from asking (sometimes for 1/2 hour).
5. It was worth it to see Canseco and Hatch have to dress up as women.
6. If I were Trump, I'd targeted Starr and Dionne's insistence on having their names on the book. He really didn't push much on the fact that they were willingly taking credit for the bad book, but instead went after Lisa.
Mind you, I'm by no means a fan of Lisa; however, I feel she was treated rather poorly in this boardroom. I don't think they did a proper analysis of what was going down in the boardroom.
Next week is going to be very interesting - I really am wondering what Busey will do. (BTW, they mentioned an accident - was he really in an accident or did he have severe issues with drug/alcohol abuse? I think he's doing well in spite of all that, but I'm really confused by this odd behavior. Though I will say - at least he's realizing he has/had a problem and is getting/got help. Can't say that for other actors.)

Creepy Crawly Worms in Dirt
This dessert recipe uses gummy worms and chocolate cookies with pudding to create a gross looking Halloween treat that tastes great!
This dessert recipe uses gummy worms and chocolate cookies with pudding to create a gross looking Halloween treat that tastes great!
What better way to have fun with the kiddos than telling them they get to play with worms and dirt? This last-minute Halloween dessert idea is sure to be a hit, and lucky for you, it's a lot less messy than the real thing! But don't limit this recipe to just make at home - make this fun and spooky dessert at any Halloween party, whether at work or in your child's classroom.
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding, prepared as directed on package
- Crushed chocolate cookies (Oreos are great!)
- Gummy worms
- Clear plastic cups
Start out by pouring your dry pudding powder mix into two cups of cold milk. Then whisk the pudding until it is a smooth consistency and place it into the refrigerator to chill for a couple of hours.
Make sure to place a plastic wrap covering over the pudding in the refrigerator so that you don't get a film across the top of your pudding.
While the pudding is cooling down, have the kids crush the Oreo cookies with their fingers in a bowl. If you want a finer Oreo consistency, remove the inner filling from the cookies and place the Oreos in a bag and roll a rolling pin over it, or just simply put them in the processor.
Once the pudding has cooled, divide the pudding evenly amongst four plastic cups and have the kids sprinkle the crushed chocolate cookie crumbs on top like dirt. Have them gently press four to five gummie worms in them as a yummy and spooky Halloween surprise!
For an extra touch, place in skeleton candy or gummie fingers to make the dessert even more spooky! Eat and enjoy!

One more preggo pic — maybe (hopefully?) the last! 🙂
I'm "officially" due the end of this week. I've been having lots of so-called pre-labor the last couple of weeks, but this 4th time around I'm well aware that I could still be pregnant for another couple of weeks! I'll keep you posted, of course. 🙂
We're ready to meet this little guy/girl, but we're also relishing the last few days (or weeks) as a family of five!

Alle-Kiski drug take-back program goes year-round to battle abuse
Alle-Kiski Valley residents with expired and unwanted prescription and over-the-counter medications in their homes will no longer have to wait for special one-day collections to safely dispose of them.
Butler and Westmoreland are among 29 counties participating in a permanent statewide drug take-back program similar to the national effort run twice a year by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration.
Up to 250 medicine return boxes will be set up statewide to allow residents to safely and anonymously dispose of medications.
In the Valley, the "MedReturn" boxes will be found in one location in southeastern Butler County, Saxonburg, and in nine Westmoreland County locations. All the Valley locations are police stations.
Gov. Tom Corbett announced the kickoff of the program on Monday as part of his "Healthy Pennsylvania" plan.
The drug take-back initiative "is an important step in alleviating Pennsylvania's public health and safety concerns regarding prescription drug abuse and misuse, especially among our youth who don't have to look further than their own family's medicine cabinet," Corbett said.
The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency received a $100,000 federal grant for the boxes. Local district attorney offices could apply for a portion of the funding by providing a plan for installation of the boxes and disposal of the medications.
Westmoreland County tied with Philadelphia County, at 21 each, for receiving the most drop boxes.
District Attorney John Peck said the county's request came from 21 police chiefs who asked for them.
Peck said authorities are aware of an upsurge in drug overdose deaths, with most caused by prescription drugs.
"People would be surprised to know the drug deaths are not due to heroin, they're due to prescription drugs, generally," he said.
In 2012, Westmoreland County reported 71 drug overdose deaths, with 14 cases still pending. Thirty-three were caused by anti-depressants, followed by heroin at 27. Oxycodone, a painkiller, was blamed for 20 deaths.
"We thought this was an important way to minimize the availability of prescription drugs for people who may abuse them and take their own lives," Peck said. "This makes it almost continuously available. There's a prescription drop-off box continuously available to citizens."
What's accepted for disposal
The boxes will accept prescription medications, patches and ointments; over-the-counter medications; vitamins; samples; and pet medications.
Not accepted are needles, inhalers, aerosol cans and thermometers.
In Westmoreland County, Peck said a detective from his office will collect drugs from the boxes as needed. They will be documented before destruction by incineration.
Arnold police Chief Willie Weber said he hopes to have his department's MedReturn box set up by the first of the year.
"I think it's a smart move," Weber said.
Weber said the service could be of particular help to families who, after the death of a loved one, find themselves stuck with a variety of prescription drugs. Those who deposit drugs in the box will not be questioned about them, he said.
"The idea is to get them off the streets," he said.
Washington Township police Chief Scott Slagle said he expects his drop box to be set up sometime after the holidays.
With an older population, Slagle said his department has been called a number of times to take medications found by family members cleaning out a home after a death.
"I just figured that's a good thing to have here for the residents, and it's a short drive for them," he said.

I was appreciative to see Guy Aiken's report last week from the Peace History Society. His post made an initial point I would have made--that discussion of the connections of war, peace, and religion are worth investigating. These were the same themes that emerged at a mini conference I had the pleasure to participate in last month, which asked "Was the American Revolution a Just War?" Organized by Glenn Moots (Northwood University), the conference featured some of the best conversations I've had in awhile.
Conference presenters quickly showed that the question could be interpreted in several ways. Some participants opted for a historical, contextualized definition of just wars, inquiring how the concepts were understood in the late eighteenth century. Other commentators opted for more universal definitions from the just war tradition, positing trans-historical, normative standards for war and justice. Both approaches brought valuable insights, even as my historian's sense appreciated the 18th-century perspective.
Following the traditional break-down of justice in going to war (jus ad bellum), justice in war (jus in bello), and just settlements after the war (jus post bellum), panels considered the Revolution from multiple angles. Theo Christov emphasized the thinking of Emer de Vattel for understanding sovereignty and the American Revolution. Vattel, along with Hugo Grotius and Samuel von Pufendorf featured prominently in discussions of the Revolution in regard to the law of nations in the 18th century.
|Independence Hall provided a great backdrop for conference discussions. (NPS)
Benjamin Lyons helpfully applied ideas of the law of nations (as built on a concept of natural law) in tracing the negotiation of the Treaty of Paris.
Keynote speaker Jack Greene and presenter William Anthony Hay provided another helpful lens, as they considered the just war question from the British perspective. This Atlantic, comparative approach added complexity and balance to visions of the British imperial conflict.
For RiAH readers, I can observe there was some religious history discussion present. Grotius, Pufendorf, and Vattel were all, in different ways, influenced by their religious backgrounds and positions. Valerie Morkevicius considered Protestant and Reformed ideas of resistance to unjust authority, although even that survey left Morkevicius suspicious of the American usage of those ideas. In my paper, I traced John Jay's defense of the American Revolution. In addition to having political right on his side, he believed the Americans had divine support. Jay believed the American Revolution was defending true faith in America, and as evidence he pointed to the British disregard and misuse of churches. If this was the case, then the cause could be justified with biblical and language and religious rhetoric.
If anything, I might have expected more discussion of religious justifications of both going to war and fighting the war. Considering the recent scholarship of James Byrd, Mark Noll, John Fea, Thomas Kidd, James Hutson, and others, it might be worth-while bringing the religious history of the American Revolution into greater conversation with the political and military history of the Revolution. Those would be exchanges worth having!
Finally, I raise a question that came up and on which RiAH readers may want to weigh in, and that would be in the evaluation of justice. Just Wars claim they are fought because of a serious threat to a decline of justice. Recent thinking about justice post bellum assumes that the post-war settlement will have increased the justice of the situation. But how is that justice to be measured? Can it be quantified? If so, how? If not quantified, how should relative degrees of justice be expressed? Or, are these questions that crash upon the rock of Whose Justice? Which Rationality? I ask these questions as I am pondering them, so I look to collective wisdom of the Comments section.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED El Patio Restaurant Review: The formidable spaces in this popular source of familiar Latin American fare may bring to mind one of those 1940s-vintage musical films with Rio in the title. But Tex-Mex and Cuban, not Brazilian, are the menus mainstays at El Patio. Its been around for decades, and in less trendy times it was the standard setter in the New Orleans area. Now the place is beginning to show its age in a ceviche that lacks freshness, a soggy fish Veracruzana, and Tex-Mex combination platters that dont have the old snap.

Barking dog scares off car-stripping thieves
Thieves stole two pairs of tires and rims valued at $6,400 from a University of Georgia student's SUV Monday morning, but a barking dog apparently scared them off before they could completely strip to vehicle, Athens-Clarke police said.
Television, jewelry stolen from home
A high-definition TV and two pieces of jewelry valued at more than $4,000 were reported stolen Saturday from a house on Victory Estates Drive, Athens-Clarke police said.

HONOLULU - Hawaii will receive an additional 1,000 Sugar Bowl tickets to help address a shortfall caused by an earlier decision not to accept its full allotment of 17,500.
Tebow questioned about possibility of winning multiple bronze statues
NEW YORK - Tim Tebow has two years to catch Archie Griffin - maybe even pass him.
Illinois showed perfect timing
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - The score at halftime was 56-3. Most of Penn State's starters spent the second half parked on the bench, and by the time the game finally ended, Illinois had given up the most points in Memorial Stadium history.
Bowden to return to FSU another year
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Jimbo Fisher will succeed Bobby Bowden as Florida State's next football coach - someday.
Robert Fanning: Incentives could bring more doctors to Georgia
Expansion of the Medical College of Georgia onto the Navy Supply Corps School campus in Athens would mean no increase in the amount of taxable property in Athens-Clarke County. Creating commercial uses on this site as the Navy moves the school to Rhode Island would lessen the tax burden on other businesses and property owners.
James L. LaBoon Jr.: Athens Symphony concerts are gift to the community
Speaking for the 4,000 Athenians who attended the Athens Symphony Christmas Concerts at the Classic Center Theatre Saturday and Sunday: Thank you!
Tom Beusse: Parking deck will be waste of tax dollars
The headline for a recent letter to the editor, "Mixed-use parking deck would be revenue boon," isn't long enough. What should be added is, "to private developers."
Gene BeHanna: Lottery bonuses were theft from education
Since when does a nonprofit organization, which I would think the Georgia Lottery Corp.'s administration would be considered, give themselves not only bonuses, but outrageous bonuses (Editorial, "Lottery bonuses not only ill in education funding," Tuesday).
Bob Bowen: Athens Academy seniors led a great football team
Hail to the Athens Academy 2007 football team and to the most successful senior class in the school's history. In the class's final two years, the team compiled records of 13-1 and 12-2, and was the only class to advance to the semifinals of the state playoffs and visit the Georgia Dome in two consecutive years.
Andy Totten: No pity warranted in wake of wreck
The only thing tragic about the recent car wreck involving five teenage boys on Jefferson Road (Story, "Second teen dies after crash," Nov. 26) was the fact that an innocent man could have been hurt.
Robert D. Clements: Environmental group opposing L-P request
Two recent Athens Banner-Herald stories, one on the request from the Louisiana-Pacific oriented-strand board facility to quadruple its formaldehyde emissions, and the other an interview with Drew Page, president of the Athens-Clarke County Economic Development Foundation, on that group's efforts to attract industry, are related. It seems obvious to me that one affects the other, in that businesses and industries will avoid an area with formaldehyde-polluted air.
Ed Wyrick: Commission action will prompt UGA on parking
In response to the Athens-Clarke County Commission's efforts to resolve parking problems in residential neighborhoods, the Banner-Herald's Sunday editorial suggested a compromise which would allow student parking in neighborhoods during the day. The editorial posited that since "a number of neighborhood residents are likely to be away from home" during the day, there should be no problem with unrestricted parking on the streets during daytime hours.

My problem is that I don't have many sources of 'brown' ingredients just 'greens' - grass clippings and kitchen scraps. We don't have any large deciduous trees for leaf collection. What else can I use to have a good mixture of compost ingredients?
Cottingham: Planning, planting great parts of gardening
I had a few folks ask me if I read Steve's column last week about planting. Well, truth be told, while he was planting an Ever-Red Sunset loropetalum in his garden, I was planting one in mine. I planted nine other shrubs and grasses as well, watered them with captured rainwater and watched with delight as a rain watered them again the next day.

The year, months, weeks and then days leading up to our wedding honestly flew by so fast, I didn't think I could ever lose time that quickly again. In a way it all seems like a distant blur, far back in my memory, yet somehow it also feels like just yesterday. In fact, our wedding was 6 months ago. That's a whopping 183 "yesterdays" to be precise! That's right, Periwinkle Dude and I have made it to the 6-month mark, woohoo! 🙂 I know that's no sweat to you old pros out there, but hey, we're infants in the world of marriage… this is a milestone for us! When Periwinkle Dude and I married, we promised to love each other through all kinds of ups and downs, which comes in handy because we have already faced a few challenges in the past few months, and we've faced them together. And so for our 6 month anniversary, I dedicate this beautiful song to my husband, the love of my life.

Law college affiliation issue under CBI scanner
The CBI has begun investigating the slew of affiliations, which Bar Council of India (BCI) awarded in past five years to various law colleges across.delhi Updated: Feb 21, 2011 23:33 IST
The CBI has begun investigating the slew of affiliations, which Bar Council of India (BCI) awarded in past five years to various law colleges across.
The investigating agency arrested BCI vice-chairman, R Dhanpal Raj from his residence in Tamil Nadu following the probe in the affiliation granted to GlobalLawCollege, based in Ghaziabad.
According to sources familiar with investigations, the CBI officials have recovered in excess of R75 lakh in the raids made at the officials of BCI arrested in case.
"The scam reaches beyond this one law college. We are examining the affiliation process adopted for law colleges in past five years," said a source. The court remanded Raj in police custody till February 25, 2011.
The FIR mentioned was registered against Bar Council of Delhi member RS Rana as he entered into a criminal conspiracy
He allegedly demanded money from Manish Tyagi for conducting an inspection of a law college and giving a favourable report for recognising the college. The CBI had laid a trap and arrested Rana with R1 lakh cash in hand.
Special judge OP Saini said, "The transcription of telephonic conversation states there is direct demand from the accused. It is further submitted that Raj along with Rana inspected GlobalLawCollegeand demanded bribe for giving a favourable report."
The court noted that as per the transcription placed on record, R Dhanpal Raj was actively involved in the conspiracy and demand of money.
"Witnesses have also corroborated the role of accused R Dhanpal Raj that accused bluntly demanded Rs 15 lakh," said the judge. Last week, the Supreme Court rejected R Dhanapal Raj anticipatory bail petition.

A Message to my Readers and GIVEAWAY!
"Maybe my passion is nothing special, but at least it's mine." – Tove Jansson, Travelling Light
This quote sums up my entire life. I've never had doubts about being so enthusiastic when it comes to the Moomins. Not even when people comment things like 'aren't they for children?' or 'why did you pay so much money for that?', it actually makes me sad that they can't understand what it's like to have true passion for something. It seems my love for them is really making an impact on other people too. Already I've been featured in a UK magazine and BuzzFeed have also featured me in their page on '50 Lessons That Moomins Can Teach You About Life' with a picture taken from my blog (#5) and an actual picture of me and some of my collection (#44). Also, the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat released their special Teema issue which is all about Tove Jansson – and I'm mentioned in it!
I started off just posting pictures on Tumblr, making a few gifs from the 90s anime series and then uploading pictures of my (somewhat smaller) collection. Starting my blog is the best decision I've ever made. I've met so many likeminded people through this and I was even invited to the Moomin HQ in Helsinki, which is probably the most significant aspect of my entire life.
I couldn't do it without the support of my readers, so as a thank you I am hosting a giveaway where you can win a copy of the new 2013 edition of Sculptor's Daughter. Whether you're already a fan of Tove's adult novels or just enjoy the Moomins, this is a great book to introduce you to her adult fiction. Guaranteed if you like the Moomins, you will love this! You definitely get the same feeling whilst reading it as you do from the Moomin novels, and it's actually the closest thing Tove has released where she has openly told us that it's her autobiography.
This edition of Sculptor's Daughter was released on November 7th 2013 and is in English. The giveaway ends at midnight of November 27th. It is open internationally :)
The Moomins and the Great Flood
November 1st marked a very special event in the UK – the release of The Moomins and the Great Flood published by Sort Of Books.

NFL Notebook: Steelers permitted to interview Redskins' special teams coach
NEW ORLEANS — Danny Smith, a Pittsburgh native and the Washington Redskins' special teams coach, has been granted permission to interview for the Steelers' special teams coordinator's job. The Redskins denied permission for Smith to interview with the Steelers several years ago but will allow it this time.
The Redskins' special teams have consistently ranked among the NFL's best under Smith, although they did have an NFL-high five field goals blocked in 2011 and two punts blocked last season.
The Steelers began training camp in July with two special teams coaches, Al Everest and Amos Jones, but currently have none. Everest was fired for undisclosed reasons late in camp, and Jones quit over the weekend to join new Cardinals coach Bruce Arians' staff in Arizona.
About-face from Goodell
During a chat Monday on the Reddit website, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he noticed "the improved quality of the playing" during the Pro Bowl on Sunday night.
The future of the game is in doubt, in part because Goodell felt the players — concerned about injuries — weren't putting out the effort necessary to replicate a regular-season game.
Temper, temper
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh appeared to grow testy Monday when he was asked similar questions, especially those regarding quarterback Colin Kaepernick. At one point, he said that backup quarterback Alex Smith actuality coaches Kaepernick more than he does.
Brother John Harbaugh, the Ravens coach and the more mild-mannered of the two, laughed when told about his brother's perceived agitation.
"Take a shot, keep asking him," John Harbaugh said, smiling, looking for any edge he can get over his little brother.
John Harbaugh also said he'll keep giving the same answer if he's asked identical questions.
"It's not me, it's how long can you (reporters) last?" he said.
No ordinary Joe
Joe Montana. Steve Young. Tom Brady. Joe Flacco. Which name seems out of place?
While he might not always look like one against the Steelers, Flacco is becoming one of the NFL's best big-game quarterbacks. If the Ravens upset the 49ers in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Flacco will have won nine playoff games in his first five seasons. Only Brady has done that.
And Flacco, the one-time Pitt reserve quarterback, goes into his first Super Bowl with eight touchdown passes and no interceptions in these playoffs. The only quarterbacks who surpassed that for a full postseason were Montana, who had 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions during the playoffs following the 1989 season, and Young, who had nine TD passes and zero interceptions in the 1994 season playoffs.
While the 49ers arrived Sunday night for their first Super Bowl appearance since the 1994 game, the Ravens didn't show up until mid-afternoon Monday. Both teams go through the sometimes entertaining but often overhyped media day on Tuesday before settling into their pregame preparations Wednesday.
49ers left tackle Joe Staley knew this wasn't an ordinary road trip when he stepped onto the team flight to New Orleans.
"We had this huge plane (with) bed seats. That was probably No. 1," Staley said.
Dome sweet dome?
The 49ers might have one advantage — they played in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome only two months ago, beating the Saints, 31-21, on Nov. 25. And while quarterback Kaepernick started only seven games during the regular season, that was one of them.
This will already be Kaepernick's fourth game in a dome.
"I think he is familiar with the surroundings and especially playing in a dome," Staley said. "I hear a lot of quarterbacks and receivers talk about a lot of domes are different as far as the lighting. No dome is the same. I think it was big. We will see how much of an importance that plays. You always want to be near some level of comfort there."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/11/2012 (1749 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Artis Real Estate Investment Trust has reported a big jump in its third-quarter funds from operations (FFO) — the term trusts use to indicate financial performance.
The Winnipeg-based REIT said FFO for the three-month period ended Sept. 30 were $37.6 million, or 33 cents per unit. That was an increase of 39.6 per cent from last year's third-quarter total of $26.9 million, or 31 cents per share.
Revenue also was up by 25.6 per cent to $98.5 million from $78.4 million.
The strong showing left revenue for the first nine months of the year running 28.8 per cent ahead of last year's pace — $267.4 million versus $207.6 million — and FFO up by 41.4 per cent to $100.8 million, of 96 cents per unit, from $71.3 million, or 88 cents per unit.
