TVA Visitor Centers Opening at Fontana, Raccoon Mountain and Norris
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – As a sign of spring, the Tennessee Valley Authority will be opening visitor centers on the reservations of its first dam, its tallest dam and its only pumped-storage hydroelectric facility on Friday.
This will be a seasonal opening for the centers at TVA's tallest dam, Fontana, which towers 480 feet and forms part of the Appalachian Trail, near Bryson City, N.C.; and TVA's first dam, Norris, completed in 1936 along with a planned community that became a national model, near Knoxville.
The third center is on Raccoon Mountain, TVA's only pumped-storage plant, overlooking the Tennessee River Gorge near Chattanooga. Normally open year-round, the center has been closed since last April due to maintenance at the generating plant.
TVA's fourth visitor center is located at Kentucky Dam and open 12 months of the year. Kentucky Dam is the longest dam in the TVA system at more than 8,800 feet and forms the largest reservoir in the eastern United States, stretching 184 miles.
All four centers offer information about TVA history, how TVA operates its electric system and how TVA manages the Tennessee River and its tributaries.
They have maps, videos, displays and written information about TVA and the construction of each particular site. TVA retirees serve as guides to answer questions about TVA, the history of the facilities and the surrounding areas.
Here are details for each of the centers:
- Fontana Dam, located off N.C. Highway 28 near the Tennessee border, is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily through October.
- Norris Dam, located off Interstate 75, Exit 122 north of Knoxville, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday through November.
- Raccoon Mountain, located off Raccoon Mountain Road near U.S. Highway 64/72 west of Chattanooga, is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
- Kentucky Dam, located off U.S. Highway 62 east coming from Paducah, Ky., or west from Clarksville, Tenn., operates 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May through October; and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. November through April.
The centers close for major holidays and in times of severe weather.
The Tennessee Valley Authority is a corporate agency of the United States that provides electricity for business customers and local power distributors serving 9 million people in parts of seven southeastern states. TVA receives no taxpayer funding, deriving virtually all of its revenues from sales of electricity. In addition to operating and investing its revenues in its electric system, TVA provides flood control, navigation and land management for the Tennessee River system and assists local power companies and state and local governments with economic development and job creation.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Unchained Breathing - "The Extortionist"
Artist Bio:
UNCHAINED BREATHING is THE example that in a genre of played out cliché's and bands repeating each other over and over again, there is still room for change. Young, creative and just a tiny bit insane, the members of UNCHAINED BREATHING are all around their twenties, and fully focused on getting their band to a higher level.
The Extortionist is the opening track of UNCHAINED BREATHING's upcoming EP. THE ALLSPARK marks the dawn of a new age in the story of UNCHAINED BREATHING. Scheduled for an April 2013 release, THE ALLSPARK takes the listener on both a musical and emotional journey in the discovery of yourself and how this spark can ignite others. This EP consists of 6 heavy and intriguing songs showing the diversity of the musicians as human beings.
THE ALLSPARK is recorded at PitchBack Studios by the amazingly talented Aljoscha Sieg and is mastered by Brian Hood.
About The Video:
The Extortionist is the lastest work of Pavel Trebukhin and shows the internal battle between the good and dark side of the character. This struggle represent the first step towards enlightenment. By combating your inner demons and accepting everything as it is, a new perspective towards life is born. With refined knowledge and experiences the character makes his towards the second phase; observing himself through the eyes of the observer.

Me and WikiTree
I've been meaning to write this post for so long! As you have probably gathered from other posts I've written recently, I now work for WikiTree. Since February, I have been WikiTree's User Group Coordinator. (I'm even on the Contact Us page! Check it out!)
This change came about because I had recently become really active in the user groups, and on WikiTree in general. I had started the Acadian Ancestors User Group. I was getting involved in every way possible. And now I'm even more involved! I even got to help represent WikiTree at a genealogy conference. Awesome!
Now, the main reason I wanted to write this post was to clarify one thing: this blog is still my personal genealogy blog. I am not paid to blog here. Part of my job is blogging once a month on the WikiTree blog, but this blog is all me. I'm telling you this so that I can continue to post about WikiTree and not be seen as a marketing person. If I gush about how much I love WikiTree, it's because I do, and I was writing those posts long before I started working for the site!
In future posts I'll give more details about what exactly I do on WikiTree. And as usual, if you want an invitation to the site, let me know!

When I found out we were getting some of the newly released Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processors to review I was intrigued. Much of my life is spent installing and configuring servers of almost every conceivable role, so I was quite interested in seeing what Intel's best was capable of. Besides the usual round of benchmarks on this server we decided to test it as a web server. With co-location space being a rather expensive commodity, packing as much processing power per unit (U) is rather important.
Stepping away from our typical desktop component reviews for a minute, we are going to take a look at another side of the computer world. Servers, without them we wouldn't have much of a network infrastructure. The Intel 'Grizzly Pass' server features some of the latest technology from Intel. Mainly it brings the latest LGA2011 processors to the server world. Recently we have been focused on the Intel 'Sandy Bridge' E processor and the Intel X79 chipset motherboards. Currently that combination of components is the top of the line for desktops. Recently though Intel announced the launch of the new Intel Xeon 'Sandy Bridge' EP processors in the LGA2011 package. The initial launch of the Intel Sandy Bridge architecture was just over a year ago for desktop users. The server variant however has had a lengthy delay as the system architecture is quite different from the desktop based LGA-1155 CPU's. While Intel released the LGA-1155 based Xeon E3 late last year, it was limited to a single socket and more designed to the high end workstation market. With the new Xeon E5-2600 series supporting 2 sockets and the upcoming 4600 series supporting 4 sockets the wait is finally over.
In order for a system like the Intel 'Grizzly Pass' to work, the processors need to be able to talk to each other. This is accomplished by each of the Intel Xeon E5-2660 processors have a pair of QPI (Quick Path Interconnects). So if you're hoping to drop in a pair of Intel Core i7 3960X processors or the more budget friendly Intel Core i7 3820 in this system or a desktop motherboard like the EVGA SRX dual LGA2011 Socket motherboard, you'll be out of luck. The Intel Core i7 processors series is left with only a single QPI.
The Intel Xeon E5-2600 series CPU contains up to 8 cores plus HyperThreading for a total of 16 threads per processor. The Intel 'Grizzly Pass' server we have on hand today has a pair of Intel Xeon E5-2660 Sandy Bridge EP processors, that gives us a total of 32 processing threads! The Intel Xeon E5-2600 series is built on 32nm technology and the overall die size is 416mm. Also on this huge 416mm die is 20MB of L3 cache adding up to a transistor count of around 2.263 billion transistors.
With 2 QPI links, 40 PCI Express 3.0 lanes per socket and Quad Channel LRDIMM (Load-Reduced DIMM) support the Xeon E5 appears to be ready for high performance workloads.
Each of the Intel Xeon E5-2660 processors runs at a default speed of 2.2GHz. When loading up the system with Prime95 the Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 kicks in and boost the processor speed up to 2.5GHz across all of the cores. When running lightly threaded applications the Intel Xeon E5-2660 has a maximum processor frequency of 3.0GHz.

Hey all,
I would like to apologize up front for being a total noob. I really don't know what i'm doing. I need OpenGL for Meshmixer and Photoscan to create 3D objects.
Meshmixer says I don't have OpenGL, and Photoscan says it's using version 1.1.0. I have a Nvidia GTX970 with latest updated graphics drivers.
I tried for hours looking on the web to install OpenGL, but found just some .dll files etc,.. and no instructions on what to do.
Could some kind soul please help me?
Thanks in advanced.

Tonight's Concert Picks: Turning Violet Violet at Kung Fu Necktie, Bleeding Rainbow at Johnny Brenda's, Mary Lattimore at Kung Fu Necktie, Philebrity Valentine's Day special with Juston Stens at Underground Arts, plus more
Local indie group Turning Violet Violet play Kung Fu Necktie tonight. The Key Studio Session alums carve out chamber alt-rock songs on the fringe of art-rock that seem bathed in a purple glow, though that might just be residual effects of their band name. Either way, the songs on Turning Violet Violet's debut full-length Double Cure are swathe-y, sweeping compositions that strike all the right feelings chords. Tickets and information for tonight's 21+ show with TeamMate and Donora can be found here. Revisit Turning Violet Violet's Key Session here and watch their video for "Cold Bread" below.

In the new battle (located as always on RedClay, link in sig), we came up with an idea for the 200X version of the core rules. Please help expand on this and feel free to comment. (Yes, IVHorseman, that means you're welcome here)
"Hero of War" status is given to those who play a major role in the plot or completion of objectives (if applicable). The unit is given heroic movement, skill, and armor for a short time (yet to be determined), due to them feeling rather good about themselves. They cannot, however, inspire redshirting or perform heroic feats beyond their skill level. They cannot be redshirted.
Need help expanding into something that would make sense and fit well in the next version of the rulebook if Mike deems it worthy.

Style # 198810
Mini Woven Studded Wallet is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 3 out of 5 by shoptiludrop1 from Cute Adorable, but as far as the quality, this wallet is not worth $69. The gold detailing was already all scratched up when I received the product. I also wish it had more slots for credit cards. Other than that, it's a cute functional wallet.

Chamber, PRIDE reinforce staying 'home' during Home for the Holidays
PUNXSUTAWNEY — The holiday season will not begin and end with the annual Home for the Holidays parade, the Circle of Trees illumination and the arrival of Santa Claus.
The Punxsutawney Area Chamber of Commerce and PRIDE seek groups, businesses and organization to host current and ongoing holiday activities for Punxsy's month-long Christmas celebration: From the start of special events Saturday, Nov. 26, through Christmas Day.
Both Marlene Lellock, Chamber executive director, and Katie Laska, of PRIDE, said the two groups seek to recreate the Home for the Holidays model from the 1990s that was part of the Punxsutawney Main Street Project.
"We think people just want to see that again in Punxsy," Lellock said.
The Chamber and PRIDE also ask local residents to think about the phrase: "Home" for the holidays, and exploring and supporting local events and businesses.
"It was like this in the past," Laska said. "When it started, there were events every weekend."
"When you have more events, you're more likely to keep people in town," Lellock added.
Many of the ongoing Home for the Holidays events — such as the parade, Santa Claus' visit and the First Church of God's Living Christmas Tree, for example — will continue, but the Chamber and PRIDE seek individuals and groups to host events that will attract guests for the weeks between the parade and Christmas.
New events may include craft sales; caroling groups; sleigh rides; plays; church events; decorating contests;open houses; etc.
"Businesses featuring special events will draw customers to their businesses," Laska said. "That's essentially what this is all about: Drawing people into businesses during the holiday season."
The enhanced Home for the Holidays events also provide excellent opportunities for PAHS juniors and seniors to help as part of their senior projects.
Starting today, The Punxsutawney Spirit will run a listing of events as they are scheduled, and the updated schedule will appear in the newspaper every Tuesday.
Lellock said, "The sooner you get the event to us, the more it will be publicized."
Home for the Holidays events scheduled so far include:
Nov. 26
• Mistletoe Madness, downtown.
• Home for the Holidays parade, 6 p.m.
• Rotary Club's annual Christmas Tree Lighting, following the parade, and Circle of Trees Light-Up Night, both in Barclay Square.
Dec. 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18
• First Church of God's Living Christmas Tree.
For more information, or to add your event, call the Chamber at 938-7700 ext. 2, or Katie at (814) 590-6868.

Nintendo Revolution to Use Touchscreen Controllers?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games
Still wondering what makes Nintendo's next console so revolutionary? It seems the ace up Nintendo's sleeve might be touchscreen controllers…I wonder how much one of these will cost to replace. The story is that the newest issue of Game Informer has a lengthy article on the all of the next gen consoles, including the one from the Big N. A touchscreen with no analog stick or shoulder buttons, fully customizable so the developer can configure the buttons any way they see fit. This could be great if developers decide that they want to create contrller configurations in addition to games. This does seem to make sense seeing as how the touch screen is currently being used in the DS. The thing is, though, that the technology hasn't been used in this way before. This also might be an answer to Iwata's statement that developers may be wary of the new technology on the Revolution.

Death's Army
"Americans had never endured anything like the losses they suffered between 1861 and 1865 and have experienced nothing like them since." The author writes: "'The work of death was Civil War America's most fundamental and most demanding undertaking.' Her account of how that work was done, much of it gleaned from the letters of those who found themselves forced to do it, is too richly detailed and covers too much ground to be summarized easily. She overlooks nothing — from the unsettling enthusiasm some men showed for killing to the near-universal struggle for an answer to the question posed by the Confederate poet Sidney Lanier: 'How does God have the heart to allow it?'"

Hiroshima: Has the ground zero of the nuclear age become too 'normal'?
...Hiroshima is still here to remind us of what happened when we first unleashed our "device" and how it can never happen again—supposedly. That's what everyone says after visiting Hiroshima, the statesmen and citizens who sign the guest book at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. We will never forget. But maybe we will. The very fact that Hiroshima is thriving with its KFC and Starbucks, with the carefully manicured lawns of its 'Peace Memorial Park'—the only evidence that hell was unleashed here—may have the opposite, anodyne effect. This is not John Hersey's Hiroshima, the Hiroshima of the horrific immediate aftermath, but is to a certain extent a Hiroshima that says a nuclear detonation is a transient thing, something that's eminently recoverable from with a little time and some good landscaping."

The Ugly Truth
When Caden Cotard wakes up, the first thing he does is look in a mirror. He sees a pudgy, middle-aged, balding, sad-sack of a human being. The rest of the movie will be like that: a merciless self-examination. Neil Gaiman, sci-fi and fantasy author, described most current literary fiction as "miserable people having small epiphanies of misery."… READ MORE >

Visual arts (and cartoons have their own version) have something akin to a grammar and a vocabulary: not a grammar and vocabulary of words, but a visual vocabulary of concepts or tools, fundamental tools that help you speak in pictures. You couldn't say anything much with language if your language consisted of only 6 words and no grammar, consistent spelling or punctuation.
I see a lot of modern cartoonists who think they have personal styles that are so brilliant and original, that they transcend the need of having basic visual communication tools, and in fact modern animation executives believe this and encourage it as well. It is encouraged to be a visual (and verbal) illiterate, as if executives at Nasa believed that you could find a gifted caveman who never went to school, never rode in any kind of vehicle, has glimpsed a wheel once and is therefore qualified to build the next rocket to Mars. Cartoon shorts program thinking.
This is all very sad, ugly and very real today.
Because of this, every time I produce a new cartoon I have to train many artists from scratch. I make all these manuals just to present some standard and logical tools to help people make their ideas clear and understandable and worth looking at.
This particular manual is about cartoon background design.
I'll start with an important tool that all artists and communicators should use:
Luckily most languages have punctuation to help you draw attention to certain important parts of your speech, although you'd never know it from the way cartoon dialogue is read today.
If you want people to think what you are saying is important and want them to not misinterpret your meaning, you need not only a good vocabulary and grammar, you need punctuation. Spelling would be good too, though I realize that is out of style today.
Anyway, Contrast is an important punctuation tool for you. Use it in all aspects of art, writing, and communication if you want to be an effective and clear communicator.
This is just the beginning. There are many more types of contrasts and I will post some in the next few BG design articles.

The Duff school, bank, and E.U.B. Church
Duff, Nebraska, was located in the southern part of Rock County, in a broad Sandhill valley. Drained by the Bloody and Skull creeks, the area was originally called the Bloody Valley and now is known as the Duff Valley. The Duff road turned off to the west from Highway 183, about 26 miles south of Bassett.
By the time that we moved to Duff, Nebraska in 1957, the Duff store was closed and the Duff post office had been gone for several years. The post office operated from 1886 to 1901, closed briefly, and then was open again from 1903 to 1953, according to Perkey's Nebraska Place Names by Elton A. Perkey (copyright 1995, Nebraska Historical Society).
I attended Duff Valley District 4 school which was still in its original building, 3 miles west and 1 mile south of Highway 183. The records of attendance in the attic of the school building went back to the late 1800s, when the old people of the community were school children.
The Eldon Horner family lived in the old Duff bank building, about 1/2 mile northeast of the school. My friends and schoolmates, the Horner girls, had their bedroom in the room where the bank had done its business. This is what the Horner girls told me. I don't know when or how long the bank was in business.
The old store building was 4 miles west of Highway 183. Forest Saar lived in the storekeeper's quarters in the back, and the Duff Evangelical United Brethren (E.U.B.) Church met in the big room in the front of the building where the store had been. In the pasture just west of the building, there was a concrete cellar (I am sure it was concrete and I believe it was a cellar). It was all that remained from an earlier store that had burned. (See this link which mentions the Duff Store in 1910. )
The congregation of the Duff E.U.B. Church was very small. I think that on a good Sunday, we might have had 30 people. Some of the people in the valley went to the Methodist church in town, another family or two were Catholic, and others didn't go to church at all.
Our pastor, Brother Harold Koelling, served three country E.U.B. churches, of which the Duff group was the smallest. In 1962, the Duff church was consolidated with the Rose E.U.B. church. (Sadly, the Rose Church is also now closed.)
I have a fairly clear memory of the little Duff church. The room was quite large with wooden pews on both sides of a central aisle. At the front on the right side were the pulpit, a piano, and a communion table with the words "In Remembrance of Me" carved into it. I confess that I thought Arthur Zlomke was the "Me" of that phrase. A metal plaque on the bottom crosspiece of the table clearly stated that the table had been donated in his memory.
A low table and some chairs occupied the area at the left front of the room, where the children's Sunday School class was held. Between the Sunday School table (on the left) and the pulpit (on the right), there was a door that opened to Grandpa Saar's living room. He often came through the door and joined the congregation when it was time for the worship service to begin.
Grandpa Saar was a generous man. Besides giving the space for the church in the front of his building, he also loaned his kitchen and living room for Vacation Bible School classes. His living room window looked out into a lilac bush that was often in bloom during VBS week. One year, a bird had built its nest right against the window, and we could look into it from Grandpa Saar's living room and see the little blue eggs.
(I speak of "Grandpa" Saar because he was the grandfather of the "Saar kids," all of whom I knew well. Marion Saar's four children were my third cousins on my mother's side, and their cousins, Bill Saar's three sons, were relation's relation to me from another side of the family. In addition to all that, all of us were neighbors in the Duff community.)
I remember one series of revival meetings at the Duff Church very well. The evangelist was a man named Elmer Reimer and he was from South Dakota.
Brother Reimer had a collection of crystal wine glasses of all shapes and sizes. He had them lined up on a table, and each glass had a different amount of water in it. He talked about how the glasses had been converted from their former wicked life of serving alcohol to a new life of service to God. Then he wet his index fingers a little and ran them around the rims of the glasses to make a vibrating, resonating musical sound. By switching from glass to glass, he could play hymns and even create harmony. I can still hear the thin, high, warbling sounds.
When I drove through the Duff community several years ago, the Duff church was completely gone. I would never have guessed there had ever been a building there. Before long, no one will even remember it.

Amon Tobin - Two Fingers
Amon Tobin presents the next brutalist masterpiece wired up under his Two Fingers guise, "Vengeance Rhythm". A low-slung exercise in violence, brooding power and pure production smarts, in the words of a recent Resident Advisor feature, it's "a little like dubstep built on an interplanetary scale." The tune has been brought to life (and death) in a truly jaw-dropping video from stop-frame animator and director Chris Ullens. Ullens transforms a pile of toys, a love of super slo-mo explosions and a huge pile of mince into the funniest, most eye-popping and shocking exercise in animated ultra-violence since Oliver Postgate found out Bagpuss was cheating on him with Professor Yaffle.

No, the law of the land regarding a London taxi driver is that he cannot refuse to let a customer in his cab if he has his light on - but he can disgorge his passenger at any stage if the passenger gives him cause. This is so vague in real terms, that nothing is ever done when a taxi either sails past you without stopping when you hail him, or conversely tells you to leave his cab if you are doing something 'unreasonable'. Black cabs have their own weird code of conduct.
You may be absolutely correct Kris, morally ethically and legally - but I'm guessing you're not familiar with London cabbie mentality, or the Londoners comfortable acceptance of it.
All right Strega luv! – I reckon that cabbie got the right hump with that Muslim. There 'e wos in the back of my fackin' cab givin' it large into my King's Lear. No way mate was I havin' that. So I told him I did! I told him good and proper to get the fack out of it mate. Though he was havin' a laff. No facking way mate. Ger out of it. I opened the Bobby Moore for him I did. Not in my cab. I still have the ump and he is gone lookin' for a camel with two off 'em. Ha! whose fackin laffin now mate. Dropped him in the Elephant to find a fackin Camel. The dozey git! Cheers darlin'. Now where's me Chas and Dave tape?
Confession - I lived for 5 years in old London town and 2 of them down the Elephant. While working as a research economist in a university I also moonlighted as a hackney (cab driver) for a little while.
Nuffin like proper cockney spoken with an Oirish accent lol.
(What's with all the confessions recently?) I absolve you, Reg, in the name of Fred Housego!
@Doug Reardon The Church of Christ does not allow musical instruments in their services because the bible says: "Make Ye a joyful noise unto the lord."
You can't make a "joyful noise" with musical instruments? I'd like to understand their interpretation of that passage. It makes no sense to me.
Sadly, this does seem to a consistent result..;p(. The error of the excessivly crisp restraint....

05.05.13: The CCRI Knights baseball team traveled to Groton, CT to compete in the Region XXI baseball championship over the weekend versus top seed and No.3 nationally ranked (NJCAA DII baseball) UConn-Avery Point (UCAP). The Knights lost a hard-fought three game series 2-1. They lost the first game 4-3, came back to win the second game 4-0 but lost the third and deciding game 3-2. With the 2-1 weekend the Knights season ends with a 28-13 record.
Game 1
On the mound for the Knights Matt Laferriere (Coventry, RI) got the start on Friday and took the tough luck lost and though he left the game with a 3-2 lead but runners were on base when he left and two of them eventually scored giving UCAP the 4-3 victory.
The Knights tied the game 2-2 on a wild pitch from reliever Edgard Santiago and took a 3-2 lead on a double off Santiago from Dylan Gracia (Middletown, RI) in the sixth inning. But the Pointers fought back in the bottom of the sixth inning with a runner on first base Alex Lefevre blooped a single over first baseman Jonathan Vazquez (Bridgeport, CT) and then UCAP loaded the bases and Nick DeLotto scored on a wild pitch followed by a hit batsman and a walk by Jake Tillman (Johnston, RI) to give UCAP the 4-3 lead. That ended up being the game's final score.
The Knights will look to bounce back in game two with their ace Conor Gleason (North Stonington, CT) the mound Saturday at 12noon.
Game 2
On the mound for the Knights in game two was their ace Conor Gleason who threw a gem of a game. Gleason threw a complete game four-hitter, walking six and striking out an impressive 10 batters in the process. Conor, who attended nearby Wheeler High School, returned the field where he played his high school games with a large cheering section comprised of family, friends and former coaches. Gleason stymied the Pointers and kept them off the scoreboard giving the Knights their first victory of the year versus UCAP. According to opposing Coach Roger Bidwell "It was probably the best pitching performance against us all year. Congratulations to him." Gleason also commented of his performance and coming back home "This is like home to me….I have a lot of comfort on the mound. I've got the hometown fans coming out to support me, which is great. That raises your level of play that much more. You want to do well for them and make them proud."
Gleason was in control the entire games he did not give up his first hit until the fifth inning, a scratch single, which put runners on first and second, but Conor dug deep to strikeout the next two batters and get a pop-up for the final out. Gleason also worked out of jams in the eighth and ninth innings stranding five base runners in all to earn the shutout victory.
Game 3
In the third a deciding game of the Region championship Keegan Dellacona (Hyannis, MA) got the start and pitched very well but again to the hard luck loss for the Knights. Dellacona was in a pitchers' duel with Zach Albin, a pro pitching prospect for the Pointers. Both teams played tremendous defense in support of their pitchers with UCAP gutting out the 3-2 victory.
UCAP scored their first run on a sacrifice fly in the second inning and then took a 3-1 lead in the fourth inning after an RBI single from Matt Harrison and a wild pitch plated two runs. The Knight had opportunities that were sniffed out buy the Pointers spectacular defensive plays. In the sixth inning UCAP right fielder Matt Martinez made back to back plays one going back to rob third baseman Tyler Santaniello (Lincoln, RI) and then making a diving catch to rob a hit from first baseman Jonathan Vazquez of a hit. Also, in the eighth inning Santaniello was robbed of a big extra base attempt when he was thrown out at second base trying to stretch a single into a double with only a perfect throw by Kevin Hall being the difference between a double and a single and put out. The two losses end the Knights season with a 28-13 record. On a positive note the Knights did have five players earn All-Region XXI honors. They were catcher Ryan Wordell (Little Compton, RI), left fielder Joe Yankee (Lincoln, RI), second baseman and Captain Nick Coro (North Providence, RI), first baseman Jonathan Vazquez and pitcher Conor Gleason. An expanded release will go out once the final stats are updated.

This new release comes with all the bits and pieces you expect from a modern Linux distribution: Linux kernel 184.108.40.206.tex3, KDE 3.5.10, OpenOffice.org 3.0, Firefox 3.0.7, Thunderbird 220.127.116.11, Ktorrent, Frostwire, Amarok, Flash, Java JRE, Compiz-Fusion 3D, and loads of other stuff. The pclos-gnome team has also put out its 2009.1 release, which is essentially the same except for the inclusion of GNOME 2.24.3.
It's interesting to note the KDE version included: KDE 3.5.10. PCLinuxOS is a KDE-centric distribution, so why aren't they focussing on the latest and greatest in KDE land? The team explains: "We decided to use KDE 3.5.10 as our default desktop as we could not achieve a similar functionality from KDE4." The team does, however, promise to make KDE4 available in the repositories once they "stabalise it".
If you prefer KDE 3.x over KDE4, PCLinuxOS is a good choice, as it's probably one of the few more major distributions left out there still focussing on KDE 3.x. Download away!

I am touched by the frankness and honesty with which New Democrat MP Romeo Saganash has chosen to address his "medical problem", alcohol dependency, and I hope that he can work his way through the first acute phase of treatment with personal integrity and with the knowledge that millions of Canadians have his back.
Statement by MP Romeo Saganash2012 10 22
Both as a Member of Parliament and a member of the New Democrat caucus, it is my duty to follow a code of conduct in keeping with my role as a Member of Parliament and the confidence that my constituents placed in me when they elected me.
Last Friday, my behaviour caused an unfortunate incident that delayed an Air Canada flight between Montreal and Val-d'Or. I want to apologize to the other passengers and staff for what happened and for any inconvenience I caused them. I would also like to offer my sincere apologies to Air Canada and the Aéroports de Montréal.
Neither fatigue nor stress can justify what I did. I need help to overcome a medical problem, a dependence on alcohol, like far too many other Canadians.
I am not looking at excuses, but I know that profound scars were left on me because of my time in residential school. I never shied away from that. The death of my friend and mentor, Jack Layton, also greatly affected me. Like him, I needed a crutch. The leadership race wore me out, on top of taking me away from my children and my loved ones even more often.
Life on Parliament Hill can be hectic and exciting, but it is also full of obstacles and pitfalls. Many of my colleagues can attest to this.
I have asked my leader to give me leave so that I can take the necessary time to treat this illness. I am deeply grateful for his support and the support of all my colleagues in this difficult period of my life.
I would like to thank the citizens of Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou for their constant support in this difficult period of my life and ask for their understanding. I can assure them that my office will continue to serve them and that my New Democrat colleagues will be available to help while I'm on sick leave.
My priority is to serve my constituents to the best of my abilities and it's with deep humility that I say thank you and see you soon.

Everyone needs to get off of FF7 and focus on the other games from the FF series. FF7 was good but it's definitely not the best one there is. In my opinion, FF8 is the best damn game to ever grace the Sony Playstation.

Don't Look Now! Here Comes the Google Street View Mobile
Google's Street View service is a handy mapping tool but also a source of great amusement when it comes to exploring both strange and mysterious moments caught in the crosshairs of Google's Street View camera.
While PCWorld has explored everything from the odd to the unexplained, it hasn't shined a spotlight on those that enjoy messing with Google's all-seeing Street View camera when it passes by. Here is a collection of some very self-conscious people who were aware of the Google Street View camera's presence and who decided to do something crazy or stupid and definitely memorable.
Note: Google Street View updates imagery on a regular basis around the world, and some images referred to in this slideshow may not be available in the form displayed. Also, for some of the location links a Google account may be necessary for the image to appear properly.

Number: 113-4
Date: June 24, 2013
House Passes H.R. 1896
The International Child Support Recovery Improvement Act of 2013
On June 18, 2013, the House passed H.R. 1896, the International Child Support Recovery Improvement Act of 2013 under suspension of the rules by a vote of 394-27. The bill would increase the retention period of information maintained in the National Directory of New Hires (NDNH) database and establish new uses of data in each component of the Federal Parent Locator Service for State and Federally-sponsored research. The bill now moves to the Senate for further action.
Following are provisions of interest to SSA:
- Would extend the retention period of new hire information entered into the database maintained by the National Directory of New Hires from 24 to 48 months after the date of entry.
- Would allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide SSA access to Federal Parent Locator Service data and information reported by employers to a State Directory of New Hires—including PII under certain conditions—to assess the effectiveness of Federal programs in achieving positive labor market outcomes.
- These provisions would become effective upon enactment.

Answers? Answers?, the Board parrots Oliver's plaintive plea. Have you submitted a question in writing using the approved form, 30 days in advance of the meeting? In black ink? No? Sorry. Township Boards are not here to provide answers. As a Township Board we are elected to do as we see fit. We don't answer questions from the public. It's not required by law. We checked with our legal counsel. Obviously we are smarter than you. We got elected, not you. You may comment, but like Charlie Brown, all the Board hears is "whaa-whaa-whaa". We are elected Township officials and want decorum at our meetings. You have three minutes to go "whaa-whaa-whaa", but we insist you bow and grovel before us. We will question your right to free speech. We will question your residency and ask if you are a registered voter. If you dare to speak out or criticize us, we will censure you. Our intimate cronies, the people we really work for, will roll their eyes knowingly and titter amongst themselves. Those supportive cronies will spread anonymous malicious gossip and innuendo attacking "naysayers" by any means available including the internet. With apologies to Dickens and Schulz, Township Boards, all elected officials, work on our dime and serve at our behest. Not the other way around. If any of this sound like your Township Board and your interactions with them; stand up on your own two legs, grow the proverbial pair, get some attitude, and don't cower to the people you employ. Our elected public servants deserve the respect they earn, nothing more. Carl Muscott Indian River

Elkhart Supplier Dicor Corp. Reinventing Itself
October 8, 2010 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
Dicor Corp. is pulling things together, both literally and visually.
As the company prepares to make several product introductions at the 48th Annual National RV Show, Nov. 30-Dec. 2 in Louisville, Ky., it was in the process of moving its corporate headquarters and a number of affiliate companies to a new, shared Elkhart, Ind., location. Also in the works was a corporate rebranding effort to more closely identify the corporation's various units under the Dicor umbrella.
The privately held northern Indiana industry supplier, with some 100 employees, was doing all that while launching Vixen Composites, a new business unit that uses a computer-controlled system to manufacture "advanced composite" RV sidewall panels up to 10 feet wide and 45 feet or more in length.
Dicor Corp. President Gregg Fore said the new brand identity, kept under wraps until its unveiling in Louisville, will help customers see both visually and "in practice" that the corporation encompasses not only Dicor Products but also Alta Resources, Seal Design and United Shade, along with the new Vixen unit.
Alta Resources, Seal Design and Dicor Products will share facilities with Vixen, at 2965 LaVanture Place in Elkhart, after moves to be completed by December, Fore said. Part of United Shade and the company's Window Expressions division, which serves the commercial and residential building markets, will share the older Dicor on the city's north side facilities.
A company news release explained that the $6.1 million startup and relocation project "is symbolic of the company's recent reorganized efforts to communicate a consistent corporate message across all product brands."
"Right now, we offer what looks like an unrelated group of products," said Fore, chairman for 2011 of the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). "However, each product and each brand is driven by the same core values established at the corporate level. We want to be very clear, as a corporation, about what we stand for. And we think our new branding approach will more effectively communicate that."
Fore said the unique Vixen Composites manufacturing process addresses the "typical problems" associated with sidewalls. The finished product is entirely seamless, down through the substrate, and includes no wood. It's cured at temperatures of more than 250 degrees to prevent the "post forming" esthetic flaws that sometimes result when resins are cured at lower temperatures, Fore said.
"This is a proprietary process that we've spent the last couple years developing," he noted. "It uses technology that is a mix between existing technology and new technology that we've paired with it that enables us to scale the process and size so we can produce a panel up to 10 feet wide and in virtually any length."
A number of towable RVs are expected to be on display at the Louisville show featuring new sidewalls from Vixen Composites. Vixen's customers also include Class A motorhome builders, said Fore, adding that Vixen's products also have potential applications in commercial transportation, the marine sector and in building construction.
Dicor Corp.'s varied divisions are also planning on introducing several other new products or improvements for OEM and aftermarket customers in Louisville.
Seal Designs will display new thermoplastic extrusion seals, a polyurethane spray insulation/sealant and "an advanced new technology" for exterior seals. Dicor Products, in turn, will unveil lightweight, European-style RV cabinetry and new roofing and flooring products.
Alta Resources' new offerings include Eurostyle table bracket mounts and pedestals, TV slides and a multifunctional remote control, while United Shade plans to introduce cordless honeycomb shades and new "SpaceSaver" rollershade systems that can be motorized.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Black Employee Fired Because of His Race, Federal Agency Charged
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – A Winston-Salem, N.C.- based electric company will pay $40,000 and furnish significant remedial relief to settle a race discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The agency charged that Salem Electric Company fired a black employee because of his race.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit (EEOC v. Salem Electric Company, Civil Action No. 1:11 CV 00119), filed in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, Salem Electric terminated Rodney Tonkins' employment around Dec.17, 2007. The EEOC said the company claimed Tonkins was responsible for a crew of employees that damaged light fixtures during a light installation project and that consequently he was responsible for some damage that allegedly occurred. However, according to the EEOC's complaint, Tonkins was an electrician with no supervisory authority over the workers, and thus was not responsible for the supposed damage. Instead, according to the EEOC's complaint, the company's superintendent and foreman, both of whom are white, were in charge of the project and the crew workers. Salem Electric did not discipline or terminate either of those individuals or the non-black employees who actually caused the alleged damage.
In addition to paying the $40,000 in damages, Salem Electric is enjoined from any further discriminating based on race and has agreed to redistribute its policy prohibiting race discrimination to managers and supervisors; conduct anti-discrimination training for managers and supervisors; post a notice about the settlement; and report to the EEOC on certain employees who are discharged under certain conditions.
"We are pleased the EEOC was able to resolve this case alleging racial discrimination and obtain the equitable relief and training requirements," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District. "It is unfortunate that race discrimination is still a persistent problem in the 21st century workplace, over 45 years after the passage of the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC will continue to fight for the rights of employees affected by illegal employment practices."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Erin Ryan Fitzgerald, from Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, has written a tell-all article on how her boyfriend came out as a woman while she was pregnant with their child.
Ryan Fitzgerald wrote on XOJane.com about her decision to become a parent with her boyfriend Evan Greer and how the pair are raising their son Saoirse together.
"In November of 2009, Evan and I decided to get pregnant. It didn't take long - in fact it was pretty instantaneous. And in February of 2010, Evan came out as transgender," Ryan Fitzgerald wrote.
A musican, 27-year-old Greer describes himself on his website as radical genderqueer singer songwriter, parent, and community organizer.
Ryan Fitzgerald a graduate of Syracuse University, described the experience of being pregnant, while her boyfriend explored his new transgender identity.
"Our child was born that August. In one year, I got pregnant with my boyfriend and I gave birth with my girlfriend."
She wrote about how the journey was an emotionally-charge one for both her and her boyfriend, how both their bodies were going through changes and how difficult it was for them to identify with each other.
She wrote frankly about how, during her pregnancy, her style standards fell while her boyfriend was exploring his own beauty and fashion.
"It was still difficult to be around hot pants and hair products, while my ass expanded and my hair frizzed out of control."
She also wrote about how difficult it was sometimes suppress thoughts about what it was to be a real woman when she looked at her boyfriend.
"That evil little voice in my head planted there by years of gender socializing, particularly my teens, kept making biting remarks about how Evan wasn't really a woman" she wrote.
Ryan Fitzrgerald acknowledged it was difficult explaining to family and friends about Erin becoming a trans woman.
"I'm an extremely private person about certain things, so everyone knowing my bedroom business kind of killed me."
There was an upside to the adjustment in their lives.
"There were plenty of exciting positives to having a trans partner, of course. While some may want to picket my house for damning my child to a life of gender confusion, I saw my partner's transition and gender presentation as a way to solidify our plans to raise our child as free from gender stereotypes as possible."
The mother wrote about the couple are making their lives together work.
"I could go all-out gushy on how loving and supportive she is, and smart and talented, and a fantastic parent. But I will say that watching Evan throw up a big middle finger to the gender binary has been inspiring.
According to Greer, he has got many emails from from kids who are trying to come out as trans to their parents
"I get hundreds of emails from young queer kids saying, 'Oh, your music saved my life' or asking, 'I want to come out to my mom as trans but I don't know how to do it, how did you do it?' And that's what keeps me going."

NCS is a school for kids pursuing a career in the arts. Nobody ever fights physically because everybody's artsy and Doesn't really fight so instead of fighting there's tons of drama and back talk. The food there is terrible some of the teachers suck but over all it's a good school and perfect for you if you are interested in the arts. Probably like 85% of the kids that go here go to collage which is pretty good. The school is also pretty good academically and is ahead of most of the other schools in Sacramento/California area even though they sometimes push us too hard. NSC is ranked one of the best schools in California, which explains why all the parents are required to donate 30 hours a year to the school. They can be payed for ($15/hr) or your parents can chaperone something.

In a blog post today, Scott McLeod shared whathesaid's list of the 10 things he believed teachers should unlearn.
Scott and whathesaid got me thinking about what ideas or beliefs our own subset of educators might also want to lose. (I got carried away and I will probably continue to add to this list.)
A bunch of things I think teacher librarians should unlearn:
- That the little things really matter to those we serve and teach. (For instance, whether or not we decide to shelve Mc and Mac together.)
- That Boolean logic is the best search strategy since sliced bread.
- That Wikipedia is bad, or less-than-good, in all contexts.
- That databases are the only online sources with value and credibility.
- That having a web presence, no–that having a really good and really useful web presence–is optional.
- That someone else is exclusively or ultimately responsible for learning relating to information and communication and search technologies.
- That the price initially quoted is the price you have to pay. (Thanks, Mom!)
- That issues relating to Fair Use are generally going to be answered with the word no.
- That no really means no or will continue to mean no when it comes to issues relating to access to the information and communication tools of today and intellectual freedom.
- That libraries should be quiet.
- That libraries should be tidy.
- That a library's effectiveness and impact should be measured by the number of books it circulates.
- That your stakeholders automatically will know what you contribute to your school's culture.
- That a library is merely a place to get stuff.
- That your collection should be just-in-case rather than just-in-time.
- That someone else is responsible for your professional development.
- That ubiquity won't change your practice profoundly.
- That your library is bounded by its walls.
- That your library is open from 8 AM to 3 PM.
- That there is a box. (to think outside)
Wanna meme this one?

"The regional bike plan has some overarching goals," said Chris Carterette, active transportation planner at the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG). "The primary one is to increase the number of people riding bikes — of all ages and abilities — and try to develop a more safe network."
The vision includes the creation of what Carterette calls "complete" streets — ones that are beneficial for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike from Oceanside to downtown San Diego.
The cities of Oceanside, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and San Diego have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to design and construct segments of the trail within each of their own jurisdictions. The 10-mile segment discussed at the public forum accounts for just the northern half of San Diego's 20-mile commitment under the MOU.
The approximately 40-mile continuous corridor will utilize multi-use Class I, Class II and Class III bicycle facilities, among other innovative routes where needed. Although a 2000 SANDAG report initially proposed the project be a Class I facility running along the railroad right of way, certain constraints and opportunities may alter that original plan, said Mike Singleton, principal at KTU+A, consultant for the city.
"If we don't have a Class I facility throughout like the original Coastal Rail Trail was proposing, we need to have a similar level of experience for the users of that trail system so they feel safe," he said. "We need to look at a variety of types of facilities to actually make all these connections actually work."
Additionally, certain constraints — including ADA compliance, environmentally sensitive areas and street volume and speed — must be considered, and interconnectivity opportunities to alternative modes of transportation, such as the proposed Mid-Coast Trolley line, Coaster stations and bus stops, must also be factored into the equation to determine the most appropriate route to connect the points.
"We're trying to look at where the key points of interconnection are — where the ridership is, where our schools are and other activity centers that are primary destinations in University City," said Mark Carpenter, senior associate at KTU+A. "There's not a perfect route to interconnect everything. We're just trying to look at the ones that we will get the most benefit from."
Since fall 2012, a broad-based working group of community stakeholders, including representatives from community planning committees, the San Diego Bicycle Coalition, Friends of Rose Creek, Friends of Rose Canyon, UCSD and Walk San Diego, have identified potential corridors that should be evaluated for the multi-use facility.
The group evaluates criteria like user experience, connectivity, safety factors, environmental issues, community impact and costs to determine the most preferred alternative.
Participants at the workshop were tasked to voice their opinions about potential corridors that have not yet been identified or corridors that they disagree with.
"Our goal is to look at the whole range of alternatives and see what segments are there that we need to be using for these alternatives," said Carpenter. "We're looking at a full range of ideas. Nothing has been discounted at this time."
The city's technical team will use the input gathered from the workshop to make adjustments to the corridors and segments before bringing the options back to the working group in July. Once the working group shares its input about the revisions, preliminary draft alternatives will be shared in a second workshop, where the public will be asked to provide feedback on the more defined alternatives. If there is a clear preferred alternative, the selection will again be shared with the working group and the project will move forward to environmental analysis. The working group meetings are open to the public. Meeting dates will be posted on the city's website.
The public is invited to provide input on the Rose Creek bikeway portion of the Coastal Rail Trail project on June 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Mission Bay High School. The Coastal Rail Trail project is a 40-mile, inter-city system of multi-use paths that would extend from Oceanside to downtown San Diego. The project will connect major activity centers, including University City, Mission Bay and Pacific Beach.
The Rose Creek Bikeway Path project is a proposed Class I and Class II facility that will connect existing sections of the Rose Canyon and Rose Creek bike paths, filling a two-mile gap in the regional bike network.
Locally, the path would begin at the north end of Santa Fe Street and connect to the existing bike path at Damon Street and Mission Bay Drive near the Mike Gotch Memorial Bridge over the Rose Inlet.
For more information, contact project manager Chris Carterette at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (619) 699-7319.

Some Oak Ridge mothers agree that childhood obesity is a national issue and Oak Ridge, could share that problem.
Some Oak Ridge mothers agree that childhood obesity is a national issue and Oak Ridge, could share that problem.
"I'm not sure if Oak Ridge has an obesity problem or not or how we compare with other cities," said Trina Baughn. "We do seem to have a large number of very active people who run, walk and bike quite regularly. We are very fortunate to have the amenities, such as our expansive greenways, riverfront and bike lanes which make it easier for our citizens to live a more healthy lifestyle."
Nancy Holt said, "I believe it's a problem nationally, when you can buy a bag of potato chips for $3 and a bag of apples for $7, and in this economy what are you going to choose?"
"I do believe that childhood obesity is a problem locally," said Shannah Newman. "I have interaction with children of variant age groups and see a significant ratio are above average in weight.
"My children have always been given milk, water or low sugar juices up till the age of 8 or 9," Newman said about sugary drinks. "At that point, I have allowed them to have soda if they chose. And to my surprise, many times they chose to drink water over soda."
Holt, however, said, "I don't keep soda pop in the house. I keep things like sugar-free Kool Aid and milk. I make them drink water."
Baughn said she also limits sugary drinks.
"Milk, water and 100 percent natural juices are their primary choices. I'm very concerned that sodas greatly contribute to obesity and I therefore limit them in both my diet as well as my children's."
The Secret City mothers also were asked about posting calorie counts in vending machines and restaurants menus and the impact on whether the postings may lead to healthier choices.
Holt and Newman had similar remarks.
"I believe seeing the calories in black and white will make some people make better choices, but as far as children, I believe they just want something that's going to taste good," Holt said.
"I know for me personally, restaurants that offer a calorie label on their menus has definitely effected the choices I make," Newman said. "Regarding children making different choices based on labels at restaurants, this probably would not make an impact with their choice of foods. As kids, all they care about is whether the foods taste good to them or not."
Baughn, however, has her doubts.
"I doubt that posting calorie counts will have much of an impact since fast food restaurants have been posting and/or providing this information to the public for some time now and we don't see any significant changes in the consumption levels of fast food. As for children, the responsibility to influence their dietary habits starts at home. Increased regulation within the free market will have minimal influence compared to that of parents who expose their children early on to healthier foods and drinks and limit sugar and fat."
