I don't want to give you the impression that Obama's only achievement was the record increase in debt, but the man who promised change Washington D.C. can also count some scandals among his achievements. Here are just some of his achievements:
- Going to war in Libya without first seeking congressional approval.
- The administration's screwing of the primary GM investors so he could give the company to his buddies in the UAW.
- Offering Joe Sestak a White House job to drop out of the Senate race against Arlen Specter
- Offering Andrew Romanoff a White House job to drop out of the Senate Race against Michael Bennett.
- Dropping an already won case against the New Black Panther's.
- Refusing to prosecute African Americans for Civil Rights violations.
- Ignoring a court order to ease up on restrictions against deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, instead issuing tougher restrictions.
- Circumventing the Senate by setting up a "shadow cabinet" of Czars.
- Obama's Justice Department's refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Ignoring his constitutional responsibility to defend laws passed by Congress.
- Firing (and slandering) AmeriCorps inspector general Gerald Walpin after because he was investigating Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson a friend of the Obamas.
- Practicing crony capitalism and wasting taxpayer money with Green energy loans to Solyndra and other failing companies.
- No bid contract given to a company owned by major Obama donor for a small pox vaccine that doesn't work.
- Fast and Furious: Giving guns to Mexican drug cartels in an attempt to take away guns from law abiding Americans.
- Trampling on the Catholic Church's first amendment rights by forcing them to pay for procedures and drugs that their faith bans.
- The GSA and Secret Service scandals neither of which should be blamed on Obama directly, both of which show his poor management of the federal government.
"I expect that investigation to be thorough and I expect it to be rigorous. If it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I'll be angry."Which is rather confusing for the man who said the Cambridge police acted stupidly, and injected race into the Trayvon Martin case before the allegations in the press were confirmed.
It started out as 15 different achievements but thanks to reader feedback we are up to 19 successes of the Obama Administration (and I am sure there's lots more). Granted they are all scandals, but no one should ever say the administration has achieved nothing.
If you have scandals I missed please leave a comment or tweet me @yidwithlid and I will add to the list.

G6954, Reviewed June 2008
Soil testing provides an estimate of the plant-available nutrients in the soil and is an essential tool for a sound fertilization program. Periodic soil testing will help to correct nutrient deficiencies, avoid excess fertilizer applications and maintain a healthy lawn.
A routine soil fertility test (pH, neutralizable acidity, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, organic matter, and cation exchange capacity) is recommended under the following circumstances:
Figure 1
If your lawn has areas with distinctly different soil conditions that need to be considered separately, collect soil samples from each area (at points in a zigzag pattern).
After processing your sample, the testing lab will send you a soil test report. Analyses in the following areas are usually included:
Soil pH
Soil pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the soil. A pH of 7.0 is neutral, less than 7.0 is acid, and greater than 7.0 is alkaline. Most of the essential plant nutrients are available at optimum levels between a pH of 6.0 and 7.0. Acidic soils (pH < 6.0) and alkaline soils (pH > 7.5) may require amendments that modify pH.
Soil pH below 6.0
If a soil pH is less than 6.0 (acidic), then a lime requirement will be calculated. Limestone is used to raise the pH of acid soils, resulting in greater availability of soil nutrients. Do not apply lime unless it is recommended. If lime is recommended, review the following guidelines before making the application.
Soil pH from 6.0 to 7.5
The pH range between 6.0 and 7.5 is the optimum range for turfgrass. Thus, there is not a need for any amendments at this range.
Soil pH above 7.5
At higher pH (>7.5) the soil is alkaline and not favorable for plant growth. Applying elemental sulfur at the recommended range given on the soil test report prior to lawn establishment will bring the pH down. At higher pH levels, phosphorus and iron availability may become limited, and yearly soil tests may be required to correct the problem by applying appropriate amounts of nutrients or amendments. Do not apply more than 10 pounds of elemental sulfur per 1,000 square feet on established lawns, as it may cause leaf burn.
Soil test results represent the amount of phosphorus (P) available to plant roots from the soil. Established lawns generally require lower quantities of available phosphorous than vegetable and field crops. Turfgrass, with its dense, fibrous root system, is efficient at extracting the immobile phosphorus from the soil. However, new lawns have a limited root system and require higher phosphorus levels for root growth and healthy seedling development. Refer to Table 1 for phosphorus fertilizer recommendations. The phosphorous content of fertilizers is expressed as percent phosphorus oxide (P2O5); therefore, phosphorus fertilizer recommendations are given in pounds of P2O5 per 1,000 square feet.
There are a number of different phosphorus fertilizer sources available. Relatively inexpensive phosphorus-only sources are super phosphate (0-18-0) or triple superphosphate (0-45-0). Use these sources when a soil test calls for large amounts of P2O5 on an established lawn. For example, if the soil test reports a need to apply two pounds P2O5 per 1,000 square feet, then 4.4 pounds of 0-45-0 would be required per 1,000 square feet.
Other phosphorus sources are starter fertilizers that contain relatively high percentages of P2O5 such as 20-27-5 or 16-25-12. At establishment, incorporate these sources into the surface 1 to 2 inches. For example, if your soil test indicates that you should apply three pounds P2O5 per 1,000 square feet and you have purchased some 20-27-5, how much of the fertilizer should you apply? Dividing 3 by 0.27 (the proportion of P2O5 in the fertilizer bag) gives you the answer: 11 pounds per 1,000 square feet of the 20-27-5 is needed to supply the required three pounds of actual P2O5 per 1,000 square feet.
For general lawn maintenance, many complete fertilizers are available with analyses such as 29-3-4, 26-3-5, or 13-13-13. For the first two, each time you apply one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, you are applying approximately 0.1 pound of P2O5. These two sources would be good to use if your lawn soil falls in the medium category. For the 13-13-13, each time you apply one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet, you are also applying one pound of P2O5. This would be a good fertilizer to use if your lawn falls in the low available phosphorus category.
The soil test results represent the amount of potassium (K) that is available to the turfgrass plant. Potassium plays important roles in enhancing turfgrass stress tolerance (i.e., drought, heat, wear, disease) in addition to its essential roles in plant growth. Potassium fertilizer recommendations in the past relied heavily on yield response data from other crops, and, therefore, may have underestimated the quantities needed for healthy, stress-tolerant turf. The recommendations in Table 2 reflect current thinking on potassium's role in turf. Potassium is not held very strongly in sandy soils and can be leached past the turf root zone. Sandy Missouri soils should therefore be tested more frequently — once a year rather than every three years.
The concentration of potassium in fertilizer is expressed as percent potassium oxide, or potash (K2O). Therefore, potassium fertilizer recommendations are given in pounds of (K2O) per 1,000 square feet. Two common potassium fertilizer sources are available: potassium chloride (0-0-60) and potassium sulfate (0-0-50). To deliver 1.5 pounds of potash to 1,000 square feet, you would need to apply three pounds of potassium sulfate over that area. Both of these potassium sources can burn turf, especially potassium chloride, so apply in cool weather and water the area soon after application.
Calcium and magnesium
Calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) are rarely deficient in Missouri soils, but deficiencies can occur on acid sandy soils. In most instances calcium amounts sufficient for plant growth are supplied by liming the soil to increase soil pH. Use of dolomitic limestone [CaMg(CO3)2] to raise pH will also supply magnesium, along with calcium.
Organic matter
Soils with adequate organic matter (3 to 6 percent OM) will have better structure and therefore better resistance to compaction as well as improved water- and nutrient-holding capacity. The addition of organic matter to soil, at the time of lawn establishment, is the best way to enhance structure, as well as water and nutrient retention capabilities. It is important that the source of organic matter be free of pathogens and weed seeds and that it be low in soluble salt content. Well-aged (1 to 2 years) manure, composted bark/sawdust, leaf and grass clipping compost, and peat are good sources of organic matter. Mix a 1-inch layer (about 2 cubic yards per 1,000 square feet) into the surface 4 to 6 inches of soil as uniformly as possible.
Soil organic matter and nutrient content can also be increased by leaving clippings on your lawn and mowing tree leaves back into your lawn in the fall instead of raking and collecting. Best results occur with the use of a mulching mower.
Cation exchange capacity
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a measure of your soil's capacity to hold nutrients; specifically, positively charged ions such as K, Ca, and Mg. Clay and organic matter contribute to cation exchange capacity; thus, soils with high CEC will retain nutrients better than low-CEC soils.
Nitrogen (N) is the nutrient that is required in the highest quantity for the maintenance of a healthy lawn. Soils generally contain large amounts of nitrogen, but it is mostly present in soil organic matter. Nitrogen is released from organic matter relatively slowly, but the amount is generally insufficient to supply the needs of a medium to high quality lawn. Several soil and weather variables affect the release of soil nitrogen and what happens to the nitrogen in the soil following release. Also, nitrogen can be easily leached from the soil when it is in nitrate form. Thus it is not a stable element in the soil and is not normally test by soil testing labs. Rather, yearly nitrogen applications, based on field experiments, have been developed by turfgrass scientists.

NEW YORK - The Home Run Derby news conference was about to begin and Chris Davis' chair on the dais was empty. This season's biggest slugger was missing.
When Baltimore's first baseman finally strode into the room, only one question seemed appropriate: "
NEW YORK - The Home Run Derby news conference was about to begin and Chris Davis' chair on the dais was empty. This season's biggest slugger was missing.
When Baltimore's first baseman finally strode into the room, only one question seemed appropriate: "You were busy hitting more home runs, Chris?" the emcee asked, only half joking.
It's no joke what Crush Davis has done with that behemoth of a 35-inch, 33-ounce bat.
In less than two years, Davis has gone from nearly swinging-and-missing his way out of baseball to matching Reggie Jackson for most home runs by an American League player before the All-Star break with 37.
"What CD is doing right now is special," fellow Orioles All-Star Adam Jones said Monday. "Special."
Davis was eliminated in the second round of the Home Run Derby after he popped a blister on his right hand during the second round. His hand was bandaged after the competition but doesn't think the hand will bother him Tuesday night.
"It's something that I've dealt with in my career since I can remember," he said. "You've just got to kind of wear it for a couple of days, and then it hardens up and you're good to go."
While the long balls have made Davis one of the most popular players in the game right now, the season he's having is even better than his tape-measure drives.
The leading vote-getter in All-Star balloting is hitting .315. He joins Detroit's Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera as the first two players EVER to hit at least 30 homers and drive in 90 runs before the break.
"I mean, both of those guys had incredible first halves," Washington outfielder Bryce Harper said. "I mean, first players to ever have 30-90. I mean, that's stupid. That's just like, video game, and let's just go out and have some fun and smile and laugh when we strike out."
There was a time when Davis wasn't laughing, when "Crush" Davis, a play on Kevin Costner's character Crash Davis, who sets the minor league record for home runs in "Bull Durham," was worried that was all he would be: a bush league bopper.
Davis displayed great power from the start in pro ball, hitting 36 homers in his second season in the minors. He hit 118 home runs in 1,807 minor league at-bats overall.
When he was called up by the Rangers in 2008, he homered in his first start. The Texas boy earned his nickname playing for a team in his home state.
But he also struck out - a lot.
In 2009, he fanned 150 times in 391 at-bats and his on-base percentage fell below .300. A year later, his batting average dipped to .192 and he only homered once in 120 at-bats.
He sure did think about becoming a real-life Crash Davis while riding the Triple-A express in his last three years with the Rangers.
But near the trade deadline in 2011, he was acquired by the Orioles, along with pitcher Tommy Hunter, for reliever Koji Uehara and cash.
That's when things started to change.
Davis switched to the bigger bat in 2012, got consistent playing time from the Orioles and produced. He hit 33 homers and drove in 85 runs last season. By the way, he also earned a win pitching two innings in a 17-inning game at Boston.
Working with Orioles hitting coach Jim Presley, Davis started using more of the field and staying back in his stance. And while he still struck out plenty, Davis made more contact and swung at fewer pitches out of the strike zone.
He hit seven homers in the final seven games of 2012, helping Baltimore to their first postseason since 1997.
That was only the start.
This year his swings have turned heads, especially in his own dugout.
"Every time he steps into the batter's box I think everyone on our team is watching him seeing if he can do something special again," All-Star teammate J.J. Hardy said, "and he hasn't disappointed at all."
Said Manny Machado: "Now it's just every day we're expecting it."
Davis set a record with 16 RBIs in the first four games of the season and has been locked in since. He has 27 doubles, 93 RBIs, a .392 on-base percentage and a .717 slugging average in 95 games.
"He handles the ball in on him. He handles the ball away from him. He's very aggressive," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "He really has a good grasp of the strike zone and when you have a good grasp of the strike zone and you're a very aggressive hitter, there's not hardly any way to pitch to him."
The sustained success has led to more difficult questions for Davis, and he's confronted them head on. When asked on Twitter if he used steroids, he responded with a no. He considers the single-season home run record to be Roger Maris' 61.
"I think any time you're being asked about something, you want to be open and honest about it. I've got nothing to hide," Davis said. "I want people to know that. I want people to feel like they can get behind me."
Relaxed and enjoying his first trip to the All-Star game, Davis knows other young players trying to make it in the big leagues will look to his story.
"I think it'll be an inspiration for anybody who's tried, succeeded and failed and then had to come back and learn how to succeed again," he said. "There's a lot of stories in baseball where guys came up and were highly touted and didn't pan out. It's unfortunate but I didn't want to be one of those guys."

When planning a trip, I often wind up on the website of at least one of the major online travel agencies: Orbitz, Travelocity or Expedia.
But after deciding which airline I want to use and my preferred dates and times of travel, I always go to the airline's website to book directly. I follow the same practice with rental cars. Hotels are a bit different, but we'll get to that in a moment.
Though Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia and their counterparts are invaluable for learning what is available before booking airfare, I almost never see a reason to involve a third party when booking travel. It's generally no cheaper, it doesn't add rewards or points, and when something goes wrong, it only adds a layer of bureaucracy.
As a regular reader of Christopher Elliott's "Travel Troubleshooter" column, in which the travel writer and consumer advocate assists readers with travel-related problems, I noticed that a disproportionate number of complaints result from using an intermediary to book travel.
Sure enough, Elliott said, that is the case.
"The biggest issue is that the service just is not there," Elliott said. "You call an online travel agency, and your call is routed to a call center, where you're dealing with script-reading drones. That's extremely frustrating."
Further, he said, if an issue arises, a customer is likely to get stuck in a pass-the-buck volley between the third-party website and the company that provided the service, especially if it's an airline. Part of the problem, Elliott said, is that the online travel agencies have limited power when it comes to getting around airline rules.
"Their hands are tied," he said. "The rules are very strict sometimes, especially the no-refundability rules."
That's why I generally favor booking with an airline directly: The airline is more invested in keeping a customer happy if it, and not an online travel agent, got your business.
That said, there are some advantages to booking through a third-party website, experts say. One is stitching together complicated trips on more than one airline. Having a trip with multiple legs on multiple airlines on one ticket can provide an advantage if something goes wrong, said Brett Snyder, who blogs about travel at crankyflier.com. It also can be the cheapest way to travel.
"There could be a pricing advantage to having multiple airlines on one ticket, and a complex itinerary will be found by those websites," Snyder said.
Another benefit is that cheaper hotel rooms occasionally can be found via online travel agencies that reserve large blocks of rooms. (Though, that said, if you ask the hotel directly for that reduced rate, it usually will match it.)
Online travel agencies also can supply deals when bundling services, such as airfare, hotel and rental car, in a single package.
But, of course, the biggest benefit of websites such as Orbitz, Travelocity and Expedia is the ability to compare fares — even if your next stop is an airline's website.

Yale Set To Face Fourth Straight Opponent That Played in 2013 Postseason
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale returns to the road for its third-straight contest away from home when it faces Miami on Monday night. The Bulldogs will be looking to pick up their first win over an ACC opponent since defeating then No. 14 Florida State, 91-85, on Dec. 18, 2010.
Sarah Halejian currently leads the Bulldogs in scoring at 11.8 points per game, while Meredith Boardman is the leading rebounder at 8.4 per game.
Scouting The Opponent
All-Time Series Record: Miami leads the series, 1-0.
The teams have met just once, with the Hurricanes taking a 75-46 win on Dec. 28, 2001.
Miami is 2-2 to open the year, having played three of its first four games at home. The Hurricanes won their only road game, 86-68 at Oakland in their last game on Nov. 19.
Jessica Thomas has averaged 12.3 points per game despite coming off the bench in each contest. Caprice Dennis scored 14 points in her first appearance of the year at Oakland. Jassany Williams is averaging 9.8 rebounds.
Miami was picked ninth in the ACC Preseason Poll and is coming off a 21-11 season that ended in the NCAA Tournament. Katie Meier is in her ninth season at Miami and has posted a 149-108 record.
What To Watch For
Protect The Arc: Yale ranks fourth in the Ivy League in three-point field goal percentage defense at .325. The Hurricanes are shooting .337 from the arc as a team, but nearly doubled their season total for three-pointers when they hit 15 in the win over Oakland last time out. Jessica Thomas leads the team shooting .455 (10-of-22) from the arc.
The Battle of the Boards: Both teams have been strong on the glass to open the year as Yale is averaging 46 rebounds per game and has a +1.4 margin over its opponents. Miami has grabbed 47 boards per game and is outrebounding opponents by +2.8 per game. The Bulldogs' frontline will need to contain 6-foot-2 Jassany Williams who is grabbing 9.8 rebounds per game for the 'Canes.
Tempo & Turnovers: The Bulldogs average 67.6 points per game, while Miami is nearly identical at 67.5 per game. Yale holds a slim advantage in turnover margin at +0.2 compared to -1.0. The Bulldogs commit 16.6 turnovers per game, while the Hurricanes commit 18.8 per game. Miami, however does force almost a full turnover more per game at 17.8.
Next Up
Yale will wrap up its four-game road swing with a trip to Greenville, S.C., to face Furman on Wednesday night.
The Paladins won the only meeting between the two teams on Dec. 30, 1996, by a score of 79-63 at the Mr. Cookie Face Holiday Classic in Jersey City, N.J.
Furman is just 1-4 to open the season, but picked up a win in its only home game of the season. Last time out, the Paladins dropped a narrow, 68-65, decision at UNC Asheville.

Cool and Calm With Still Yoga in Silver Lake
We finally had an opportunity to visit Still Yoga after they took over the empty space next door. Expanding to over twice their previous size, Erika Glass (owner) extends the calm and peaceful vibe into the new space.
Erika's good friend, Margeaux joined us to take beautiful pics which show off the the yoga studio's creative side. While we were there we learned that Erika has a little DIY in her blood and her visions are made into reality with the help of Josh from jnkarts. Our favorite elements include the traditional ceiling squares (turned over to reveal a more organic side) and Erika's idea to take small trees from a local bird store and attach them to a wood base to create jewelry trees. The space is also full of great color combos and textures (blue walls and tiles mixed with rock walls and bamboo shelving).

More Internet users search for keywords on Google than any other search engine. When combined with the Google generated search results on Yahoo! Search, AOL Search, and many other smaller search engines, Google is truly dominant in the field.
Google claims to have 150 million searches performed worldwide, on its database of over three billion indexed documents, every day.
What other services does Google provide?
A quick check of the Google options page reveals a wealth of services and features, offered by the search engine giant. From the commercially-based Froogle, to the well-known Google Directory, to Google Wireless, there is more than simple browser-based search available to the user.
{mospagebreak title=Froogle}
You have probably heard about Google's commercial search, called Froogle. It's another way for business websites to have their products displayed in searches. Froogle's onsite portal navigation is very similar to the Google Directory in its use of categories and sub-categories.
Froogle is a free method to add your products and services to the Google database. Your business may already be included, as Google will probably have indexed your site during its many Internet crawls. Froogle will display your entire product catalog in its search results. As you add new products, change prices, or remove older listings, your database is constantly updated.
If you are not included in Froogle, it's easy, and it's free to add your site. Simply go to the Data Feed page found here and provide the required information about your business, its products, and preferred business category. Multiple feeds, for businesses with more than one location, are available through Froogle.
Google Adwords subscribers can have their paid placements appear on Froogle, as well as on the regular Google search results.
{mospagebreak title=Google Web Directory}
Most Internet searchers are aware of the Google Directory. Not everyone understands how it works, however.
Searching the Google Directory is quite simple, as it's arranged by topic. Search terms narrow down through categories, until the appropriate sub-category is found. In that way, the Google Directory is similar to most other Internet directories.
When the appropriate search page is found, you will notice the results placed in Google PageRank order, from highest to lowest. PageRank is Google's own system, for measuring the importance of a website, based on the number and quality of its incoming links. By listing the results by PageRank, Google deems which results are more authoritative, by its own measurement system.
To get your site listed in the Google Directory, you must first have your site listed in the Open Directory Project, better known as DMOZ. At unspecified times; Google adds DMOZ results to its own Directory. Note that there is no relationship, between Google and the Open Directory Project, other than as a supplier of directory listings.
{mospagebreak title=Google Labs and Wireless}
If you want to check out what Google may have in store for the future, be certain to take a sneak peek into the Google Labs. New prototype ideas, for future Google services, are being beta tested for usability and for potential improvements. Ideas are even welcomed by the Google development team.
Some interesting new ideas include Google search by voice through a telephone call. Simply call the supplied phone number and say your keywords. Click a link on the page and the results will appear.
Google will supply you with News Alerts, as they happen, for developing news stories or even keeping track of a competitor. Simply place a topic into the request form and Google will e-mail you the results, as frequently as you specify.
Location search is another innovation provided by Google. Along with your search terms, you can provide an address of a United States business, and receive results for that location only. It's similar to online Yellow Pages, with the addition of Google's extensive website database.
Your input and suggestions for changes and improvements are requested by Google, in order to make the newly-designed services and tools better serve the user's needs.
Google Wireless
Google search can be accessed from many cutting edge technologies. You don't need to use a conventional computer or laptop to use the Google search engine database. Searching the web via Google is no longer restricted by location and available technology. Mobile phones, OmniSky, Palm VII, and Handspring are a few of the ways that Google search can be used when you are traveling.
{mospagebreak title=What Internet tools does Google provide?}
Along with its growing number of search engine services, Google provides a number of Internet tools, ranging from the well-known Google Toolbar, to web design tools.
Google Toolbar
Probably the best known Google tool is the widely downloaded and used Google Toolbar. Enabling the user to see the Google PageRank of any web pages visited, as well as the Google displayed backlinks for that page, is only part of the story.
The Toolbar also works as a pop-up ad blocker, an automatic form completion editor, restricts searches to only specified countries, and highlights search terms on a page. You can also search the pages within a website, and link a weblog (blog) to any page you are viewing.
The toolbar layout is also customizable to your own needs and specifications.
The languages available for the toolbar, include English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), and Chinese (Traditional). Google promises more languages will be available in the future.
There is no Mac compatible toolbar at this time.
Google Browser Buttons
For those browsers and computer operating systems unable to install the Google Toolbar, there is another option.
You may also customize a regular browser toolbar by adding Google Browser Buttons. They enable the Internet user to take advantage of Google's technology, while avoiding the use of additional screen space by installing another toolbar.
The Google Search Button enables standard Google Internet searches. The Google Scout Button shows web pages that are similar to the one being viewed. In many cases, those sites will be those of a company's direct competitors. The Google.com Button takes the user directly to the Google home page.
{mospagebreak title=Google Language Tools}
For searches in languages other than English, Google offers the Google Language Search Tool, the Translate Tool, and the Google Interface for your desired language and country.
The Google Language Search Tool enables the user to access the Google data base, in one of many available languages, and countries. Your choices can be saved in your Google Preferences. Simply enter your search terms, and your choice of language will be used in the search.
To use the Google Translate Tool, fill in the text, or the web page URL, that requires translation. A drop down menu provides the language translation options currently available.
The Google Interface, for your home page, messages, and buttons can be set in your Google Preferences for any of over eighty languages, including "Elmer Fudd" and "Pig Latin." Services are available for eighty-five countries that have a Google country specific suffix.
Google even provides the opportunity, for members of the general public to volunteer to provide translations, for the various Google services. Google help information, and the Google search interface are available for translation into many other languages. You can translate as little as one phrase, or an entire website. There is no minimum requirement.
A Google Account is required for all volunteer translators prior to adding their services to the multilingual project.
{mospagebreak title=Google Web APIs}
Google Web APIs are a free service offered to web developers and search engine optimizers. According to Google's Terms of Service, the APIs are only for personal and non-commercial use. The APIs are also still in the beta stage of development.
Using the Google API download, web developers can search more than three billion indexed web documents. Since Google uses SOAP and WSDL standards, developers can freely program using Perl, Java, or Visual Studio .NET.
To use Google APIs, the user must first download the Developer's Kit. The kit includes everything required to start writing programs, including samples and the necessary documentation. Simply download, unzip, open the "README.txt" file, and get started on your web project.
To start using the Developers Kit, Google requires you to open a Google Account. All that is required to register for a Google Account, is a valid e-mail address and your personal access password.
Once your Account is created, you will have an API License Key that enables you to perform 1000 automated queries per day. Any program created using the Developer Kit must include your personal license key.
{mospagebreak title=Wrapping It Up}
Imagine how difficult it would have been eight or ten years ago to get your site translated into different languages. Imagine the difficulty in attempting to reach the wireless community, with their differing set of web standards and protocols. The people at Google have diversified their offerings to appeal to a wide range of tech-savvy customers.
The user of the Google search engine has far more available options than simple basic search. In order to stay in the lead for Internet keyword search, Google has developed a number of additional services and tools.
A search engine user is no longer constrained by language or technology. In order to maintain its search engine dominance, Google has made these new services available, and welcomes user comments and suggestions.
Google is not simply just search anymore.

I added a bench for the mitre saw today. I don't want to be running all the way back to the studio every time I have to cut something. I should have done this yesterday but I'm sometimes slow off the mark. I'd like to bring the table saw into the house as well, but expect that there would be quite a bit of resistance to say nothing of the fact that there just isn't the space. The columns are stable, wedged, propped, centered as appropriate (somewhat of a compromise: I centred the centre of the capital on the beam and didn't worry about whether or not the square column above the capital was centred on the capital. It worked. I think.And now, the smaller, side beams and a bit of the ceiling. Needless to say, the ceiling is not flat, looks a bit like a sine wave so I had to do a bit of shimming and levelling to get the beams all in a line.

Asus GT240 1GB Review
Nvidia has finally released the GTX 480 and other cards in the 400 series family – skipping over the 300 naming scheme. GT 240's and similar still trickle out from manufacturers, though. Based on the G92 architecture, it is essentially a modern 8800. GT 240's are proving to be great PhysX and [email protected] graphics cards, provide DirectX 10.1 inexpensively, and do not require auxiliary power in either 6-pin or 8-pin PCI Express formats, as they run solely off of the PCI Express slot they are installed in. ASUS has provided another GT 240 with 1GB of GDDR5 clocked at 1700 MHz, with the GPU clock at 550 MHz and shaders at 1340 MHz The shader speed is very low on GT 240's and should have a decent amount of overclocking headroom. The memory BUS is 128bit and memory bandwidth speed is balanced with the GDDR5, which is cheaper per IC than GDDR3 and more efficient, and the smaller memory BUS means that the graphics card is all around more cost efficient – a smart move by Nvidia. The GT 240 can support DVI, VGA, and HDMI output – most users will not need an adapter to use the graphics card immediately.
The GT 240 is not SLI compatible, except for the SLI + PhysX mode where this graphics card can be used for PhysX processing solely. Most have overclocking headroom to spare and provide great PhysX processing power, if used on their own they do decently, but don't expect high-end gaming out of this card. If used for the right purpose they can be great graphics cards, though.
Closer Look:
The box has an Orc creature prominently in the center, with a badge and bold World of Warcraft logo to the right that shows off the "exclusive" gifts from ASUS – a free World of Warcraft 14-day trial and a door hanger similar to the ones that other companies provide, except this one is all about WoW and not the card. The 14-day free trial is also available for free from Blizzard directly as a 10-day free trial. The left side has ASUS company logo at the top left and ENGT240 at the bottom left with supported features such as Nvidia PhysX and CUDA. Turning to the back side shows some basic features and specifications, and at the bottom, the recommended system requirements.
The side has another ASUS logo and ENGT240, 1GB GDDR5, and a sticker with the part and serial number, UPC, and other numbers. Opening up the box we find the graphics card is protected in the standard anti-static bag. Other than the graphics card, the box includes a "I'm raiding, leave me alone" door hanger, driver disk, manual on a disk, and a quick guide manual to setting up the card. Personally I wouldn't put the door tag up, but maybe some WoW fans would – looks like a decent door hanger, I suppose.
Time to examine the graphics card!

The past few days have given us a jump start on what to expect for Spring weather here in New York City! With Spring just a few days away, the Big Apple is ready to wear Spring's hottest color, Orange! Officially it is being called Tangerine Tango! If you are a fashion warrior, you are going to go all in and wear your Tangerine Tango with pride. Here at F.I.T., I can assure you it will be all over the place. For those of you who may be a bit hesitant about this season's color, I have a solution. Shoes!
Shoes solve every thing! Really….every thing! You're wardrobe from last year can be update by infusing Tangerine Tango as your "neutral" color for shoes. You can wear it with ANY color and hit two trends in one, Color Blocking and Tangerine Tango! I took the liberty to find 4 affordable options that will amp up the volume in your wardrobe.
These 3 styles, available at Zappos.com, are easy to wear while exploring the city because they are wedges and a platform.
I have always looked forward to the Payless designer collaborations. I purchased a pair of fashion forward wedges from Lela Rose last season and this year she came through again. I love this wedge and it's super affordable and chic!
You can also be sexy and add just a hint of Tangerine Tango to your shoe with this gorgeous heel from ZARA. Isn't it sexy?
So what ever your style and price range, there is a shoe out there for you to get accquainted with Tangerine Tango before you take the leap.
Next time we'll explore how to wear the color in our clothing.

I'm looking for link builders. Read on for price & job details.
We're in need of a link builder in which we're specifically gonna be doing guest blogging. I'll provide an email to use for it. It's going to be $10 per DA 50 & above link & $5 for every DA 30-49 link. There's also an incentive of $50 for every 10 links.
Article-wise, I'll be providing them as needed. So you only need to worry about the prospect search & actual outreach part.
I'm thinking of hiring one for starters & maybe some more later on if needed.
What I want to see from you is your previous published posts. I can only discuss more details with you once I see that you're a good fit for this job. I can work with any timezone though I'd still prefer it if you're in the Philippines.
We have a proper tracker for this so it shouldn't be hard for us to keep updated with each other.

Amitraz is toxic to cats, but should not affect the cats as long as they don't lick the dogs collars.
It is NOT safe to be consumed, it is toxic/deadly if the collar is eaten.
I have no idea about safety when pregnant... sorry...

Hugh Douglas collects comic books featuring the Incredible Hulk. Which is appropriate because if the big green guy played football, he would likely collect sacks the way Douglas does from his defensive end spot.
On Sunday, Douglas, who at 6 feet 2 inches and 280 pounds is big enough and strong enough to qualify as a hulk, colored Bears quarterback Jim Miller black and blue, wrapping him up in a dramatic, late-game, lead-protecting Bear hug.
It was as devastating a knockdown as Lennox Lewis delivered to Mike Tyson and a big reason the Philadelphia Eagles held on to defeat the Bears 19-13 at Memorial Stadium. You might say that Philadelphia McNabbed this one with its defense, though even on one of his less-than-superior days quarterback Donovan McNabb was never far from the vortex of the action. It always comes back to McNabb for the 6-2 Eagles, whose record is the mirror image of the 2-6 Bears.
Still, Douglas, an eight-year man out of little Central State of Ohio who sometimes parades through the locker room proclaiming "I'm turning green!" had two sacks among his five tackles. And on the defining hit, he flew through the air like a comic book character to squash Miller for a 9-yard loss. The play essentially crushed the Bears' last hope with 25 seconds left.
"I don't think anyone touched me," Douglas said.
At least not anyone wearing a Bears uniform.
It was no solo charge, either. The Eagles threw everyone at the Bears' line.
"All four of the defensive line came," said linebacker Ike Reese, as if reciting the guests who attended a party. "They can't leave enough men back to protect against it. You've got to get home, or you could be in trouble. We got home."
The Bears were in trouble. As they were often during the rainy, gray, cold afternoon.
"Hugh's sack was big," said Philadelphia tight end Chad Lewis. "The defense played great all day. I like being able to win games like this, with struggles."
Struggles. Stylistically, the game seemed more like a playoff game than January's 33-19 genuine postseason game between the clubs won in Chicago by the Eagles. The day was raw, the hitting was hard, and defenses dominated.
Cold? Wet? Shrug.
"It's football, man," said Eagles linebacker Shawn Barber. "You've got to go do your job."
Philadelphia repeatedly got big plays on defensestrong safety Blaine Bishop recovered a Dez White fumble after a pitchout from Millerand the unit shut down the Bears at critical points. The Bears had minus-2 yards from scrimmage in the third quarter.
"That's what I love about this defense," said Eagles free safety Brian Dawkins. "We have different guys who step up. You kind of move the glory around."
Normally, in the Eagles world it is McNabb who garners most of it.
The Mt. Carmel alumnus completed 18-of-33 passes for 209 yards, ran nine times for 46 yards and kept guiding the Eagles into the red zone, although he threw one interception and no TD passes. However, McNabb has the knack for making timely plays and inspiring teammates.
"We believe at some point in time he's going to make big plays," said Dawkins, "especially if we're in trouble."
Pick the moment when McNabb showed it. McNabb made a crisp block of Reggie Austin on a first-period running play. He scored a touchdown on a 5-yard run through a gap larger than a hole in the ozone in the second period. He eluded the Bears' rush and balletically tiptoed down the right sideline for 14 yards to set up one of David Akers' third-period field goals. And he fired a picturesque pass to wide receiver Todd Pinkston for a 39-yard completion, setting up another Akers field goal in the fourth quarter.
Yet for all of his athletic acrobaticsreal ones, not comic book exaggerationsMcNabb seemed far from satisfied.
"Well, we won the game," he said. "But I'm always critical of myself."
He's the only one.

I've been meaning to check out Railroad for months. Stevie Parle, who runs the critically acclaimed Dock Kitchen in Ladbroke Grove, writes the Daily Telegraph's food column and has written a rather wonderful cookbook, mentioned his sister Lizzie's East London cafe last autumn on Twitter. It sounded like a little jewel, a food- and coffee-lover's sanctuary in the dirt end of Hackney. And if her culinary inquisitiveness was anything like her brother's, I was in for a treat.
Morning Lane sounds promising, and unless you've trodden down Hackney's backstreets before you might be expecting a sunny stroll down a cute cobbled street. In fact, it's a mean old dirty thoroughfare, blessed only by this bright young cafe, thronged with Hackney local 20-somethings, sitting at communal benches sipping flat whites.
An auspicious start: the coffee. Square Mile coffee, roasted in Hackney and brewed to perfection at a mammoth machine that takes up the whole of the service counter. It was sweet, rich and tangy with no bitter aftertaste, and served in beautiful handcrafted cups made by the proprietor's mother.
First to come from the tiny kitchen was their take on the Vietnamese banh mi, a sandwich stuffed with spicy minced pork, coriander and pickled vegetables. A steal at £4.50 but perhaps a little too much bread; it took jaws of steel to crack through the crust.
The menu, scribbled on a white board, changes daily. They serve dinner, too: more substantial offerings such as slow-cooked pork shoulder, roast partridge with lentils and roasted vegetables with farro and salsa verde. Moro instantly springs to mind.
Braised fennel with spring garlic and chilli on toast. £6.50. Soft, sweet and unctuous. Comfort food that would happily convert me to vegetarianism (well, not quite).
This cauliflower, coriander and yoghurt soup (£4.50) deserves a special mention. It was sensational - earthy, spicy and creamy, with pleasing lumps of just al dente cauliflower running through it.
On offer for the sweet-toothed among us is a small but perfectly formed range of patisserie from Yeast Bakery, an artisan bakery near London Fields. The banana cake (made on site) was spectacular.
This is special little place, with a big heart and a warm welcome.

On Monday, Activision announced that the newest title in the Call of Duty franchise, Call of Duty: Ghosts, will be available for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, as well as the next-generation consoles from both Sony and Microsoft. In light of this, they have created the "Next-Gen Upgrade", which will allow players to easily and inexpensively make the transition to the next generation.
Yeah, but can you cross platforms with the upgrade. I mean, from XBox 360 to PS4, and get the "for $10 more" deal. I seriously doubt the stats would transfer over, but could be possible.
Upgrade lol , more like a downgrade for extra cash to a 2007 title
To bad I can't trade in my 360 version for the ps4 version :(

Katt Williams is facing a lawsuit over allegations he hit an audience member with a microphone during a show in Seattle, Washington.
The troubled funnyman has been a regular in the headlines over the last few weeks following numerous arrests, with his most recent brush with cops occurring on Friday (07Dec12) when he was held on a reckless driving charge.
He has now been accused of striking a man with a microphone during his stand-up gig at the Paramount Theater in Seattle earlier this month (Dec12) and the gig-goer has filed a lawsuit.
Carlos Casto-Lino claims he suffered concussion and bruising to his head and is suing the star and bosses of the venue for $250,000 (£156,250), according to TMZ.com.
In video footage filmed at the theatre, Williams can be seen chastising a gig-goer for allegedly attempting to record the show and then hitting him on the head with his microphone.
Williams was detained by police at a gas station in California on Friday (07Dec12), a day after a warrant was issued for his arrest stemming from a police chase in Sacramento last month (Nov12) when he allegedly rode a three-wheeled motorcycle on the sidewalk before speeding away.
He was previously arrested in November (12) on suspicion of battery at a sports bar, and he had another brush with cops last week (02Dec12) for his alleged involvement in a bar brawl in Seattle, Washington.
Williams also shocked fans earlier this month (Dec12) by announcing he is quitting stand-up comedy and cutting short his current U.S. tour, a claim his representative subsequently dismissed.

In Avoidance is 100% Effective, I wrote about how avoiding a physical conflict is the only way to be 100% safe. Any Karate technique can fail, and even if it works, you could be injured. Even the best fighter can get caught with a punch. I was watching MMA with my sons this afternoon. In the main event, this point was illustrated. The champion won, but only barely and near the end of the fifth round.
So we should try our best to avoid the use of Karate techniques. We should use Karate techniques only as a last resort -- when we have tried our best to avoid the attack but are left with no other way to protect our life or the life of a loved one.
I should add that I would not use Karate techniques to protect a physical object, such as my car. I have insurance for that, and my life is more valuable than my car.
But let's say it has become a last resort and I have to use Karate techniques to protect my life. Then what? What is my intention then?
My intent is to defend myself the best I can. If an opportunity to escape safely arises, I will take it. I will say this again. If I can safely escape, I will do so. In fact, my selection of techniques, if I have the time and opportunity to make a selection, will be geared toward escape. I want to get away. I want to run away. I do not want to fight and I am not trying to make a point.
Hey, if this guy is attacking me, he is committing a crime. I am an innocent victim. I am not fighting, I am defending myself. Once I decide to stay and fight (rather than take the opportunity to safely escape), I am no longer just defending myself. In fact, at this point, if I kill or injure that attacker I might have committed a crime and/or be liable for civil damages. The laws in various states and countries on that matter might differ. I am not trying to give you legal advice. But I hope you see the point. If I am defending myself as a matter of last resort and try to escape if it is possible to safely do so, that is one thing. But if I get caught up in the situation, do not take the opportunity to safely escape, and stand and fight, then that is another thing entirely.
I realize that it is difficult to determine whether a person is just defending himself or has gone beyond that -- this is something the courts would have to determine. And I suspect that a person's expertise in martial arts might be a factor.
Some people might be thinking -- "Hey, running away is a chicken thing to do, particularly for a Karate expert!"
Let me ask such people this. "Am I the judge and jury and perhaps even the executioner for the attacker?" If I decide to stay and fight when I could have safely escaped, and it so happens that I accidentally kill the attacker (he falls and hits his head on a fire hydrant), was I legally or morally authorized to do so?
Don't get me wrong. If my life is on the line and I cannot escape, or if my loved ones' lives are on the line and I cannot help them to safely escape, then I say you have to do what you have to do, and I would accept the consequences. In heaven, I think the angels would say, "What else could you have done? It could not be avoided."
And as I wrote earlier, if I decide to stand and fight rather than escape when I could have done so safely, who says that I will be successful? I could get injured or even killed. The attacker's friends might show up and then I would probably wish that I had run away when I could have.
So I think we have to teach our students that fighting is not the object. The strategy is not to fight, not even to defend ourselves-- if it is possible to avoid it. And then if we have to defend ourselves, and it becomes possible to safely escape, we should do so. Call it a "strategic retreat." This is not only the smart thing to to, and the right thing to do (legally and morally), it is the thing a Karate expert would do.
It is said that Karate begins and ends with respect. I would add that Karate is also characterized by a sense of restraint.
I want to add that Karate is a civilian art of self defense. A policeman does not have the luxury of avoiding an attack or escaping. A policeman has to protect the public. A person in the military has different objectives too. People in the military have to accomplish the given mission and protect themselves and their fellow soldiers. I know that I am over simplifying this but I am trying to clarify that my views about avoidance and escape are intended for the civilian situation.

Anchorage Weekly Gas Price Update and Outlook - April 30, 2012
Anchorage, April 30- Average retail gasoline prices in Anchorage have fallen 0.8 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $4.24/g yesterday. This compares with the national average that has fallen 3.3 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.81/g, according to gasoline price website AnchorageGasPrices.com.
Including the change in gas prices in Anchorage during the past week, prices yesterday were 7.6 cents per gallon higher than the same day one year ago and are 3.6 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 8.6 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 10.4 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago.
"Unsurprisingly, the average price for a gallon of regular self-serve continues to drop in a majority of communities across the United States," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan. "The national average now stands nearly 10-cents per gallon lower than the same date a year ago, but will we hear an end to complaining about gasoline prices at the pump? Perhaps the rhetoric will wind down, but with summer around the corner, any sudden increase in price of gasoline will have Americans virtually calling for the heads of politicians in November," DeHaan said.
About AnchorageGasPrices.com
GasBuddy operates AnchorageGasPrices.com and over 250 similar websites that track gasoline prices at over 140,000 gasoline stations in the United States and Canada. In addition, GasBuddy offers a free smartphone app which has been downloaded over 20 million times to help motorists find gasoline prices in their area.

Push Square: "It's not been the best first year for the PlayStation Vita. Shunned in its home territory and disregarded overseas, the powerful portable has struggled to secure a foothold in the brutal video game market. But there have been signs this week that the system is not dead and buried yet, and while there's still a long road ahead for the machine, at least it's starting to form the foundations of an impressive library."
The Xbox and Wii u would be more than happy if they had games that looked as good as that
The vita has converted a few haters with killzone.... I've seen no trolls on any killzone articles...what's really scary tho, is this is before E3. This week feels like a baby E3 for vita owners. Can't wait to see what E3 has in store for the vita.
This is almost definitely PS Vita's turnaround. Fairly impressive turn of events. KZ: Mercenary has made bewildered believers out of many, and Tearaway was always going to be the killer app. I've always thought i was amusing to see the same treatment of Vita as it was with PS3. Look at what was said about PS3 and look what happened. Look who's right again.
All Sony has to do is push these games, and just bring out more, which I can't see not happening. Soul Sacrifice later this year, Phantasy Star Online 2 in the near future. The awesome looking Dokuro and Guacamelee front the downloadables. PS Vita in my pocket, just like 3DS. Good times!

Release Date: June 23, 2014
BUFFALO, N.Y. —Arabella Lyon, PhD, professor of English and director of the Center for Excellence in Writing at the University at Buffalo, has received the 2014 Book Award from the Rhetoric Society of America (RSA) for the best work in rhetorical study published in 2013.
She received the award for her provocative book, "Deliberative Acts: Democracy, Rhetoric and Rights" (Penn State University Press, 2013), which provides an incisive and detailed analysis of the theoretical premises underlying dominant Western rhetoric, the art of public discussion.
In "Deliberative Acts," Lyon, rather than conceiving of deliberation within the familiar frameworks of persuasion, identification or procedural democracy, accords a higher value to speech acts and bodily enactments that constitute deliberation itself.
An example of such an enactment, she says, took place in 2011 when Libyan lawyer Eman al-Obeidi burst into Tripoli's Rixos Hotel to tell the international press corps there that Libyan troops had kidnapped, beaten and gang-raped her. Her public statement challenged both the Gaddafi government and the taboo against discussing sex crimes in Libya.
"In changing her location and interlocutors," says Lyon, "al-Obeidi not only remade the event itself, but its possible interpretation and outcome. She redefined woman's shame as Gaddafi's shame and demanded a different kind of recognition and relationship than she would have found in the Libyan legal system."
Rhetoric is a subject of formal study and a productive civic practice, and has played a central role in the Western tradition from ancient times.It aims to improve the capacity of writers or speakers to inform, persuade or motivate a situated audience to act.
Because the 21st century is characterized by the often rapid global circulation of cultures, norms, representations, discourses and human rights claims, Lyon says the collision of often disparate ideas provokes conflicts of many kinds.
"Understanding and resolving them," she says, "requires us to find new ways, not only of making decisions, but of understanding the conflicts themselves.
"The example of al-Obeidi's performative rhetoric," she explains, "illustrates how deliberative theory can be reoriented away from outcomes and toward the initiating moment of recognition, a moment in which those taking part in the conversation are positioned in relationship to each other and so may begin to define their shared world. "
In approaching human rights not as universals, laws or immutable concepts, but as agreements among people, Lyon says she conceives of them as ongoing political and historical projects that can develop agreed-upon norms through global and cross-cultural interactions.
The annual RSA award is presented on the basis of a book's originality, strength and persuasiveness of argument; readability; potential to promote rhetoric among scholars from other fields; and potential to promote the understanding of rhetoric among the general public.
Of Lyon's selection, one member of the selection committee said, "The articulation of performance and performativity is a welcome intervention into contemporary theories and practices of deliberation. Lyon's discussion builds productively off of the insights of thinkers such as Aristotle, Arendt and Austin to offer an innovative take on how rights and rhetoric might be thought anew.
"I was especially pleased (and frankly excited) to see an engagement of Butler's theories of identity and agency, the latter of which deserves more attention in our field," the committee member said. "The work is provocative and innovative, clearly forwarding important conversations in the field."
Lyon is co-editor of "Human Rights Rhetoric: Traditions of Testifying and Witnessing" (Routledge, 2012), with Lester Olson, and author of "Intentions: Negotiated, Contested and Ignored" (Penn State University Press, 1998), which won the 1998 W. Ross Winterowd Book Award for the most outstanding book on composition theory from JAC, the Journal of Rhetoric, Culture and Politics.
