The State's Role in Ensuring Stable Local Government Units
The state has always had the ability to set the rules of local government operation. All local governments in Michigan are creatures of the Michigan Constitution[33] and state government statutes.[34] State laws govern how local governments record their finances, how they raise funds, what services they provide, what they cannot do and a host of other policies.

It's been a while since we saw a FreeDOS release - version 1.0, released in 2006, to be exact. So, we're looking at 5 years ago, but then, this is essentially DOS we're talking about, and since this project is not aiming at moving DOS beyond what DOS is supposed to do, development doesn't need to include flashy animations and other nonsense.
"FreeDOS is a free DOS-compatible operating system for IBM-PC compatible systems. FreeDOS is made of up many different, separate programs that act as "packages" to the overall FreeDOS Project," the project states, "Right now the main use is running old games and software, but you might encounter it on some freshly sold computers, motherboard setup CDs, BIOS flashing diskettes, embedded hardware and other uses."
Yes, FreeDOS is indeed not 'just' a small hobby project; it is used by many large OEMs as optional installations, and is also used by some BIOS update tools. Most people, however, probably use it for running older games.
So, what has changed since 2006's version 1.0? Other than the usual performance improvements and bugfixes, it comes with the initial work on USB controller support, a newer kernel version with bugfixes, some limited USB flash disk support, and several other things.
The team advises to only use this test release in a virtual machine. You can get it from their website.

Acres of Diamonds
- Written by Leanne Christensen
Making a meaningful difference and providing hope for homeless women
and their families
Acres of Diamonds (AOD) was established in 1995, as a transitional Christian home to provide a loving, safe and nurturing environment for homeless women and their families.
For over 17 years, hundreds of women residing at AOD have been given life altering opportunities – opportunities which allow them to seek heart-felt counsel, and to receive support and loving guidance on a daily basis through programs that help break the cycles of addiction, poverty and homelessness.
Did you know that on any given night, there are close to 800 homeless women on the streets of Seattle? To those at Acres of Diamonds, these women are so much more than a number. They are moms, sisters, daughters, aunts and grandmothers each with a name, a purpose, a hope, and often times a child.
Over the years, Acres of Diamonds has not only transformed the lives of its residents and their families, the program itself has gone through its own significant transformation. Early last year due to unexpected budget cuts, there were staff layoffs and the AOD board of directors underwent a reorganization.
However, along with these tough decisions and newfound challenges, there were also great achievements due to the board's dedication and outreach, and the inspiring support from local community members. For instance, the 2012 annual AOD Dinner Auction raised over $20,000 for the program, due in large part to the support of countless local businesses and the volunteer efforts of many.
These much needed funds helped with the purchase of a new roof, new siding and several other maintenance issues at both the AOD main house and the resident apartment buildings.
In the past year alone, there have been dozens of clean-up/ beautification projects completed to the interior and exterior facilities and to the grounds at AOD as well. Along with the many projects, such as interior painting, the building of a new play structure, new plantings and mulch, volunteers also embraced AOD through their support in providing house moms, office assistants, and dedicated Christian mentors. All in all, these services given by local churches, service groups and school volunteer groups averaged 450 - 600 volunteer hours each and every month.
The support given to AOD from our community has been truly overwhelming. Director Peggy McNamara shares, "The women residing at Acres of Diamonds have been deeply touched by the outpouring of support our program has received from so many of our community members. Not only do they appreciate the time, donations and efforts given by the many volunteers, they are also inspired by the genuine care and compassion they witness time and time again, as children, teens and adults one by one 'show up' in their lives.
"This type of outreach is something many of these women have never experienced, and it allows them to witness God's grace, love and compassion in a very real and tangible way. For instance, one of our residents in particular has shown extraordinary growth this year ... she arrived at AOD after being released from jail for drug possession.
"In the beginning, she came into my office for weekly one on one discussions, and while not saying much, she most times just sat and cried. We wondered if she would be able to function in the world at large... she was in a tough spot. However, God was at work! She began reading the bible, praying daily and engaging in regular discussions about Jesus, and truly trying to make sense of Christianity, all the while trying to make sense of what her life had become.
"Fast forward six months... how things have changed! She is now on stable ground, and is one of the most responsible women we have here. She is engaged in her church, and volunteers often in our community. She is rebuilding relationships in her family, overcoming codependency, staying sober and working through her issues. How wonderful it is to see our mission for these women being realized in such a meaningful way."
Acres of Diamonds is dedicated to continue its remarkable work with the women and children in their care. Below are several ways in which community members can make a difference and support of this program:
•Monthly financial assistance/one time donation. AOD is a non profit 501(c) (3) organization - Tax ID #91-1684691
• Volunteer your time/talents (see AOD website for current opportunities)
• Help with grounds/home maintenance
• Donate needed items... paper goods, household cleaning supplies, firewood, bedding, furniture, kitchen items, clothes and toys.
The Board of Directors and volunteer leaders at AOD are gearing up for the 2013 Acres of Diamonds Dinner Auction.
The auction will be held in Duvall this year at the Riverview School District Educational Service Center on Saturday, October 5, 2013. Acres of Diamonds encourages everyone to "Mark your calendars for what will most definitely be a truly inspiring event!"
Acres of Diamonds reminds us... "Whether you give time or money, what you are really providing is hope."

Product Highlights
The Lectrosonics SRb5P Dual-Channel Slot Mount ENG Receiver Kit from B&H is designed to install in the wireless receiver slots found on professional video cameras. This version features a connector kit that enables external use (outside of camera slots) and makes possible for the SRb5P to be used in portable "bag" systems, accessory shoe mount applications, etc.
The receiver itself features two independent digital hybrid wireless UHF receivers in a single lightweight body. The SRb5P provides an additional audio output next to the front panel. When the receiver is used externally, the front panel jack can be used to feed audio to a recorder, IFB transmitter or camera while the rear panel outputs feed the main production mixer. An optional accessory enables you to power the SRb5P Receiver with L and M type rechargeable batteries. With a pair of Lectrosonics transmitters, the SRb5P makes for a formidable wireless solution for the discerning production professional who needs to reliably capture broadcast ready audio.
Note: Requires DC Power Cable to Operate (Not Included).
The Lectrosonics SRb5P Camera Slot UHF Receiver (Block 20) is a two-channel slot-mount Digital Hybrid Wireless diversity receiver that supports 512.000 - 537.500 MHz operating frequencies. The SRb5P receiver offers two independent channels and fits into the standard video camera slots found on professional cameras. The two audio channels can feed separate inputs or can be mixed internally to feed a single input. Plus, a DSP compatibility mode allows the SRb5P to be used with Lectrosonics IFB transmitters.
What makes the SRb5P version different than the SRb is that the SRb5P is intended for use with cameras that do not have both audio channels enabled in the camera slot. So, in addition to the SRb's audio outputs on the rear panel, the SRb5P also features a second set of outputs that are provided through a 5-pin connector on an adapter next to the control panel. This provides audio output from both channels in addition to the camera slot outputs.
The device's RF performance is extremely stable over a very wide temperature range, making the receiver well suited for the rough environmental conditions found in field production. The front panel features a menu-driven LCD interface and four membrane switches which are used to view and alter settings. The main LCD window displays the pilot tone indicator, diversity activity, RF level, audio level and transmitter battery status for both receivers.
Other features include SmartSquelch for noiseless muting and a built-in spectrum analyzer scans across the tuning range of the receiver to locate RF signals in the vicinity find clear operating frequencies. The two internal receivers can be operated separately, each using switching, antenna combining diversity, or in tandem with ratio diversity reception. Clear frequencies are easily found with the built-in RF spectrum scanner and graphical LCD. The audio outputs of the receivers can be mixed internally, or left separated for discrete recording tracks or external mixing.
The Lectrosonics SREXT is a connector panel adapter kit for the Lectrosonics SR Dual Slot-In Receiver. The kit is intended to provide the freedom of using the SR Receiver on standard, non slot-in mount scenarios. On the included connector panel are two TA3-male jacks for balanced output and a power jack with a locking connector. An unterminated power cable may trimmed to a desired length.

Scientology Volunteers Establish Headquarters for Haiti
June 4, 2010
Pétionville, Haiti—The Church of Scientology International Volunteer Ministers opened a new headquarters Saturday, signaling a new level of commitment to the people of Haiti in rebuilding their country. Located just east of Port-au-Prince, the new headquarters will facilitate the staging and coordination of operations, and provide temporary housing for volunteers from outside Haiti.
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit just west of the capital city of Port-au-Prince January 12 killed an estimated 200,000, injured 300,000 and left one million homeless. By January 17 Scientologists had orchestrated the arrival of 130 doctors, nurses, EMTs and Volunteer Ministers in Haiti. Working with United Nations and U.S. Army personnel at the country's main airfield, initial actions included organizing and dispatching personnel and supplies. But within hours, the volunteers were manning hospital tents, supply lines, and search and rescue teams.
Operating on the Scientology Volunteer Ministers motto "Something CAN be done about it" the Scientology volunteers concentrate on bringing order into the immediate chaos of a disaster site and alleviating trauma through the use of Scientology Assists, "spiritual first aid" that speeds physical and emotional recovery. In alignment with their motto, Volunteer Ministers also bring a myriad of personal skills to a disaster zone, such as the trained midwife who helped deliver a baby less than a day after she arrived in Port-au-Prince, and six more over the next week, in dilapidated buildings amid aftershocks, electrical outages.
Scientology Volunteer Ministers have provided disaster relief around the globe for more than 20 years. In Haiti, over 300 from 22 countries answered the call for disaster relief and 3,000 Haitians have joined them in their efforts. Together they have brought physical and spiritual relief and order back into the lives of an estimated 360,000 Haitians.
Maria Reyher, International Director of the Scientology Volunteer Ministers, says the new Haiti headquarters gives a new level of stability and service potential to their relief and recovery activities in Haiti. "Thousands of Haitian people want to be involved in bettering the plight of their country and we have workable tools to help them," says Reyher. "They face many rudimentary and complex problems and our new headquarters provides a stable place to make it possible to help them on an even wider scale."

Boeing's long-awaited dream machine became a commercial reality on Sunday, when the lightweight plastic-composites 787 Dreamliner was formally delivered to its first Japanese customer.
After years of delays, Sunday's delivery marked a triumph for the company, which had been bogged down by the plane for more than three years. While the plane is considered a major accomplishment in the aviation industry, it's not the first time Boeing has pushed the industry forward.
During World War I and World War II, Boeing was at the fore of manufacturing some of the most iconic military aircraft of the 20th century. Here, we take a look at those designs, what they meant for the industry at the time, and how they impacted plane designs to come. Here are Boeing's most famous military aircraft.

I'm trying to work out how I'd make an SSL connection to a RabbitMQ server. I see that the com.rabbitmq.client.ConnectionFactory has several useSslProtocol() methods that seem like what I'm looking for. I've searched through the latest source of spring-amqp (as of Mon Mar 28 18:16:59 2011 +0100), and I don't see anything dealing with SSL anywhere. One way I think I could make it work is to create my own Rabbit ConnectionFactory, call one of the useSslProtocol() methods, and then inject the factory via constructor into the CachingConnectionFactory. Is that the recommended way to do it?

Okay, next question: has anybody been able to make an SSL connection to a Rabbit server with Java? I'm having no end of trouble with it. It's an older version--1.7.2--but I'm using the 1.7.2 client from the RabbitMQ page, and it just isn't being friendly. (This is just a basic test using the driver directly, not spring-amqp.) It keeps saying "SSL peer shut down incorrectly". I have managed to connect and get a message a few times, but lately I always get that error. Other clients (ruby and python) are connecting fine.
I haven't tried with 1.7 and we don't support that with Spring AMQP anyway. The Hyperic plugin uses SSL and I think they support older versions, but I don't know if it goes that far back. You had better ask on the Rabbit mailing list if you want to use the Java client from 1.7 (but don't try it with Spring AMQP unless your use case is very basic, e.g. I know listener container stop/start lifecycle will not work before 2.3.1).
It turns out that the SSL thing was somehow related to running Ubuntu + Java. A Ruby script on the same machine could connect fine, and the same Java program could connect from a Windows machine. I haven't tracked down what's going on there, but I'm moving on to other things right now.
One of those other things is trying out spring-amqp with version 1.8.1 of the rabbit client. For some reason, while RabbitMQ server version 2.x supports 0-8, 0-9, and 0-9-1 of AMQP, the 2.x java clients only support 0-9-1. I need 0-8 support. The API of the 1.8.1 client is very similar to the 2.x clients, and with a recent version of spring-amqp, only three changes were needed to make it compile against 1.8.1. I've successfully used it thus compiled to consume messages from a 1.7.2 server. It doesn't properly handle exceptions in the message listener, but I'm going to look at that. What is it about the "listener container stop/start lifecycle" that you were referring to that won't work without the 2.3.1 client?
Finally, while reading over the source of the SingleConnectionFactory, I noticed a problem with its connection management. The intent seems to be that this factory obtain a connection once, holds and reuses it for all subsequent calls, and then closes it on shutdown. This is supported by two properties that hold a Connection: connection and targetConnection. "connection" is the one that gets returned for use by other code and is wrapped with an adapter that ignores close() calls, and targetConnection holds the non-wrapped connection so that the connection factory itself can close it on shutdown. The targetConnection is created first, and then "connection" is targetConnection wrapped with an adapter. That's all well and good, but the adapter that the former connection is wrapped with is a SingleConnectionFactory.SharedConnectionProxy. The targetConnection is passed in as a constructor arg and is stored in the instance field SharedConnectionProxy.target. Then in SharedConnectionProxy.createChannel, it has the ability to detect that "target" is closed and to create a new connection. The problem here is that it only updates SharedConnectionProxy.target and not SingleConnectionFactory.targetConnection, so when the factory is shut down, it will try to close a connection that is already known to be bad, and the good connection won't be closed. Given that SharedConnectionProxy is an inner class of SingleConnectionFactory, the correct behavior could be gotten just by eliminating the target field from the former and directly accessing targetConnection in the latter.
Problems with Ubuntu + Java usually means you have an unresolvable local host name. For some reason Ubuntu ships with /etc/hosts containing 127.0.1.1 mapped to the local hostname, and this is what Java thinks your IP address is by default. If you change the hostname to localhost it might work, or if you remove that line from /etc/hosts and map the host name (as discovered by java.net.InetAddress) to 127.0.0.1 (that's what I do).
Thanks for the insight on the ConnectionFactory. I think I noticed the same thing, or something related (https://jira.springsource.org/browse/AMQP-150).

This Week In Track & Field
The Big West Championships will be held at Cal State Northridge this Friday and Saturday, May 16 and 17. Northridge are the defending champions on both the men's and the women's side. The Gauchos were runners-up to those squads last season. The men and women picked up five event titles apiece in last season's meet, and there are several strong contenders on this year's squad. Friday's competition features trials in most running events, along with a handful of finals. The championships conclude the following day with team champions crowned after the completion of the individual competitions. Live results will be posted on Flash Results courtesy of Don Chadez and his timing crew. Entries and heat assignments are also currently available on the same website.
Here's a brief preview of this weekend's action.
The Throwing Events
Jeff Stewart is the defending Big West Champion in the men's shot put. He's currently the third seed in the event, but he's capable of winning and has been waiting all season to unleash the breakthrough throw. He'll have good support from Matt Barkley, who has gone over the 17-meter barrier this season and should be able to score points. Stewart should also score in the hammer, and he could podium if he has a good day. For the women, Kayla Smith should place well in the shot put, where she's seeded at 46'4.75". Michael Guerra will get his first taste of Conference action in the javelin, where he has the third-best mark going in at 199 feet.
The Sprinting and Hurdle Events
Jason Newland comes into the 100m dash with a mark of 10.75 and will be looking to get past the prelims into the final heat. He's also entered in the 200m with a seed of 21.79, and he scored in that event last season. Sheneice Vargas has qualified for the 400m as a freshman, and she'll run in heat 2 with a seed of 56.92. The men will not have an entrant in the 400m due to the injury that has kept Ryan Martin out of action since late March. The Gauchos will have a pair of athletes going for points in the 400m hurdles, with Lauri Schakett competing for the women and Elmer Guzman competing for the men.
The Jumps and Vault
The women's high jump promises to be one of the most prominent competitions this weekend, with the national leader going against some formidable opposition. Cal Poly's Sharon Day will win the event if she performs well, as she boasts a personal best of 6'2.75". The Gauchos' own Christina Nowak and Jane Doolittle are the third and fourth seeds at 5'8.75". On the men's side, David Hoff is in the mix, as all of the competitors are bunched together in the 6'8 - 6'10 range. Nobody in the Conference has cleared 7 feet this season. Five competitors in the pole vault, which includes senior Melanie Sonby and junior Stephen Horrell, will ensure that the Gauchos are well represented. The pole vault is always too tough to call, as a solid performance can land anyone on the podium if the favored competitors have a rough meet.
The Middle Distances
Last year's champion and runner-up of the men's 800m have both graduated, so this race will be wide open. Salim Benmohamed has a great chance at a podium finish and will have good competitors to run with. Sarah Roth and Lindsay Brunner are in different heats in the women's 800m trials, where eight of the nineteen competitors will advance to Saturday's final. Gabe Lopez and Jayson Hayes will compete in the 1500m, which is going to bypass the trials and go straight to a final on Saturday since there are only twelve entries. The same holds true for the women's 1500m, where the Gauchos' entry is Stephanie Garcia.
The Long Distances
The first running event of the Championships will be the women's steeplechase, which will feature defending champion Bethany Nickless. Nickless goes into the race with a personal best of 10:11.03, which she set at last year's NCAA West Regionals. Her best time so far this season is 10:32.19 at the Payton Jordan Invitational. She is also on the entry list for the 5000 meter race, which will feature one of the favorites in Danielle Domenichelli. Danielle's best time in the 5000m this season is 16:38.06, the third-best in the field. She's within striking distance of the top times set by Brenda Martinez of UC Riverside and Kim Conley of UC Davis. It's also worth noting that the 5000m is the final race of the meet, and tends to be unpredictable since most of the athletes have already run a 10k, steeple, or 1500m less than 24 hours beforehand.
Chris Ashley and Tim Aukshunas are both entered in the 10,000m and the 5000m. It's a tough double to run, but don't be surprised if at least one of them goes for it. Ashley has the top time in the Conference in both the 5k and the 10k, and is definitely one of the favorites in both events. Aukshunas has the second-best time in the 10k and is capable of keeping up with anyone in the 5k as well. The steeplechase has the makings of a classic finish, as Michael Powers and UCI's Sky Johnston are separated by less than two seconds.

We know you probably don't want to spend hours learning about the intricacies of mutual fund investing. Even if you've cleared your calendar for some quality fund study time, we don't need to dominate your afternoon with this topic. So, here are seven words that'll serve as the foundation -- heck, make that the foundation, walls, roof, and wall-to-wall shag -- for your long-term success in investing in mutual funds:
If in doubt, buy an index fund.
There you have it! Thankyouverymuch, ladies and gentleman! We're here every Friday. Please remember to tip your waiters and waitresses.
Still here? All right. You caught us trying to sneak out of work early on a sunny day. Mutual funds are a hot commodity with individual investors and financial institutions, with trillions of dollars invested in them.
With so much money riding on the success of mutual funds, how can we be so pat with our breezy summation? Well, the fact is that most investors can be perfectly comfortable buying an index fund -- which is simply a mutual fund that tracks some stock market index, whether it's the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, the entire stock market index, or some other performance measure of a like group of stocks.
Before we get into that, first, a little background.
What are mutual funds?
A mutual fund is simply a collection of stocks and/or bonds. Mutual funds are financial intermediaries -- they are set up to receive your money and then make investments with the money. Most mutual funds are "actively managed," meaning the mutual fund shareholders, through a yearly fee, pay a mutual fund manager to actively buy and sell stocks or bonds within the fund. When you buy mutual fund shares, you are a shareholder -- an owner -- of that mutual fund, with voting rights in proportion to your ownership of the fund.
The price of "active management"
Though you would think that mutual funds provide benefits to shareholders by hiring "expert" stock pickers, the sad truth of the matter is that over time, the vast majority -- approximately 80% -- of mutual funds underperform the average return of the stock market.
Why the underperformance? The toughest job an active manager has to do is to overcome the higher costs of an actively managed fund. Many simply aren't up to the task.
What does this mean for you?
In simplest terms, you can't afford to pay for fund managers that don't earn their fees. If a fund has fees of 2% and only matches the market with its stock picks before paying those fees, then you'll end up with a return that's 2% less than the market's, year after year.
Although 2% may not sound like that big of a deal , it represents nearly a fifth of the market's long term average return of around 10%. Put another way, over 50 years, a $10,000 investment will compound to $1,170,000 at 10% returns per year, but to only $470,000 at 8% per year.
Uh-oh, now what?
You need to pick your funds carefully. For the most part, picking a fund is just like investing in individual stocks. You might be happy with an index fund. But what if your 401(k) doesn't offer an index fund? Or what if you already own an index fund but want to add some diversity to your portfolio? Or, perhaps you wonder: "I've heard plenty about mutual funds that beat the pants off your namby-pamby index fund. How do I get me one of those?"
Well, there are some funds -- or, more precisely, some fund managers -- whose services are worth paying for, because they are superior investors who are simultaneously fee-conscious. You just have to find them and know what the heck everyone is really talking about.
Pick a Winner!
All there is to picking the right mutual funds is learning what to look for. We offer some general guidelines, as well as some hands-on resources, to help you find winning funds for your portfolio:
- If you don't have an index fund in your 401(k) or have a hankering for higher returns, head this way to find out how to pick the best mutual funds.
- If you already own a mutual fund, there are some things that you need to think about before you dump a stinker fund. Even if you aren't selling, you need to do some regular maintenance -- rotate the tires, check the oil, manage your capital gains, etc.
- As you read along, don't get thrown by the jargon. Check out our mutual fund glossary.

Like everyone else I've been glued to my computer, newspapers, and the radio, keeping track of the catastrophic and heartbreaking events that occurred in Newtown, Connecticut. As a parent and an educator, I've alternated between tears and anger, prayer and frustration, trying to understand how someone could murder little children and their teachers, and imagining the thought of losing my own child. I've been awed by the bravery of the educators at Sandy Hook.
Yet, as I listen to the media, I'm appalled by the reports and conversations equating — intentionally or not — mental illness with violent behavior. You see, my family can imagine losing a son and brother to mental illness, because we experienced it for 24 years. Violence against others was never part of the equation, and it's not for most people who live with brain diseases. Read the December 17, 2012 New York Times Health section article, In Gun Debate, a Misguided Focus on Mental Illness by Richard A. Friedman, M.D.
From the time my brother, Jeff, was 18 until he took his own life at age 42, he suffered from bipolar brain disease. He was erratic, often upset, and frequently angry with us — his family members. He wanted so much to be like the rest of us, his friends and family, and to get on with his life. Despite all of his problems, however, he was not violent toward people. His most erratic behavior occurred when he overturned a grocery cart in a parking lot next to our car — an attempt to demonstrate how angry he was with my father, who was trying to reason to him.

Managed in cooperation withNorthwest Florida Water Management District
Northwest FloridaWater Management District
This 41,363-acre area in Washington and Bay counties runs 14 miles along the course of Econfina Creek and also encompasses mile after mile of xeric sandhill uplands with dozens of shallow, clear sand-bottomed lakes. These uplands recharge the springs that feed the creek. Most of the area was planted with commercial stands of non-native sand and slash pine, which are being harvested and restored to longleaf pine and wiregrass habitat. Along the creek hardwood forests and hammocks grow above fern-covered limestone bluffs and outcrops. In the spring, visitors will see blooming dogwoods, red buds, mountain laurel, wild azaleas, Carolina silverbells, Ashe and pyramid magnolias, and Florida anise. Recreational activities available on this area include seasonal hunting (see link at bottom of page), fishing, hiking (a 14 mile segment of the Florida National Scenic Trail traverses the WMA), horseback riding on designated trails (Pine Ridge Equestrian Trail, Wolf Pond Equestrian Trail, and other trails being developed), swimming, primitive and group camping, birding and paddling. Information on primitive camping and group camping is available at Northwest Florida Water Management District or by telephoning (850) 539-5999. Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands. For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law . All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. The Econfina is a state designated canoe trail with launches located at Scotts Road (upper creek), Walsingham Bridge (middle creek) and Highway 20 (lower creek). The canoe trail contains numerous "chutes" on the upper creek with springs and limestone rock outcrops occurring on the lower creek between Highway 20 and Highway 388. The upper portion of the creek is especially strenuous and should only be attempted by experienced canoeists. Summer tanagers, warblers, wild turkeys and numerous raptor species, including bald eagles, kestrels, hawks and osprey are common along the Econfina. The short nature trail at Pitt Spring is an excellent spot for bird watching. This area is a site on the Great Florida Birding Trail. Also see the Econfina Fitzhugh-Carter Tract website.

Protothreads are a type of extremely lightweight threads - each protothread requires only two bytes of memory - that are usually used for embedded firmware programming, where memory is at a premium. Protothreads combine the low overhead with event-driven programming with the algorithmic clarity of threaded programming.
Larry Ruane from LeftHand Networks Inc. has written a protothreads library for Unix systems that, unlike Adam Dunkels' original library, contains a complete scheduler that allows several protothreads to run inside a regular thread. Ruane's protothreads are implemented in less than 400 lines of C code using gcc's labels-as-values feature. The project wiki has a thorough explanation of how protothreads work and how they are intended to be used. The open source code can be downloaded from the project's SourceForge page.

|Brief description
The LIFE project supports repositories and preservation by analysing costs of digital curation and lifecycle management. LIFE2 will build on this by: 1) Refining the LIFE methodology for the analysis and costing of the lifecycle of digital objects; 2) Providing a cross section of exemplar Case Studies, both to inform the LIFE methodology and to provide a benchmark for comparison and evaluation; 3) Enable HE and FE institutions to apply the LIFE methodology simply and easily to their own collections, and thus to evaluate and compare their activities in order to inform planning and increase workflow efficiency; 4) Compare, contrast and analyse the lifecycle costs of paper and digital collections, informing the use of differing approaches to preservation and access via digital and other surrogate technologies; 5) Identify where efficiencies can be made in the lifecycle costs of digital materials and provide guidance to funding bodies in areas such as preservation services and preservation tools; 6) Disseminate project findings and enable take up of the LIFE methodology. The project is managed by University College London (UCL), in partnership with The British Library, the SHERPA-LEAP Consortium, SHERPA-DP and the Medical Research Council.

Feedback from past initiatives relating to the use of video in learning and teaching, notably the BFI/BUFVC/JISC Imagination/Universities Network Pilot project and HEFCE's Shotlist initiative, demonstrated that unless the collection of visual resources is of sufficient quality and comprehensive in coverage it is unlikely that lecturers will feel inspired to change their teaching habits. Lifesign will compile a collection of resources relevant to practical teaching within the life sciences and achieve the critical mass necessary to impact upon the delivery of the curriculum and effectively evaluate the educational potential of streamed video within a subject discipline. The overall aim of the project is to evaluate the use of networked moving picture and sound material for learning and teaching in the life sciences. This aim revolves around 3 main areas of activity: the development of a comprehensive set of resources focusing on a particular aspect or aspects of the life sciences; the development of appropriate metadata and the integration of resource discovery and retrieval facilities within a hybrid library system; and the development and implementation of an evaluation methodology for the material and its use in learning and teaching. The specific objectives are to: - Compile a comprehensive collection of video resources, in association with the relevant Learning and Teaching Support Network (LTSN4) Subject Centres, relevant to the practical teaching of a range of life science disciplines. This will comprise material already in existence and new commissions; - Structure and digitise the catalogue in a format appropriate for networked delivery via Metropolitan Area Networks; - Develop software that enables the full integration of multimedia resources in library catalogues and hybrid library systems; - Index, catalogue and compile the associated metadata for the resources in a format that can be integrated into existing library database systems; - Work with the JISC's Managing Agent and Advisory Service for Moving Pictures and Sound in order to clear rights for use of all resources identified and develop a licensing framework to facilitate the continued production of related resources from within the HE sector; - Install the digital collection on two Metropolitan Area Networks (SWMAN and LENS) providing local access for up to 18 HEIs; - Evaluate the pedagogical effectiveness of streamed moving images within the life sciences and assess the impact upon current curriculum delivery; - Provide guidelines, supporting material and staff development to the Advisory Centre for Moving Pictures and Sound in order to embed the use of networked moving images within the DNER; - Develop the infrastructure necessary in order to sustain the continued development of this initiative beyond the lifespan of the project.

The aim of this project is to implement an open-source reading list system ('List8d') that is accessible and easy to use for all user groups. List8D should also be a useful and sustainable resource for the JISC Information Environment. The project aims to achieve the following technical goals: Portable data with the ability to feed information to and from mashups. Open content and open standards. Solution to be reusable, by any institution, with a well-documented API. Support for tools such as Refworks, Endnote, and Zotero. Internationalisation support. We aim to achieve the following business and user-oriented goals: Help librarians manage their stock levels and serve students better. Be easy for the students to use, with information served by the application accessible in a variety of places. Ideally the students will not be aware of the existence of the application, they will simply see reading lists appearing in appropriate places. Provide accurate information for librarians and library managers, saving time and avoiding unsuitable or inaccurate inputs into the reading list system. Be easy for the academics to use, and help them to ensure that there are sufficient course materials available for the students. Promote agile development practises within the University of Kent.

LIW for academic and non academic staff' develops an existing Location Independent Working (LIW) scheme operating within the University's wholly-owned commercial company, Coventry University Enterprises Ltd. (CUE) to make it suitable for academic staff in teaching roles. CUE has successfully implemented LIW for over 50% (currently this amounts to c.75 people) of its staff. The project aligns the cultural change necessary at individual, departmental and institutional levels with the application of tried and tested technologies to develop a comprehensive e-working scheme for academic and non-academic staff. The aim of the project is to demonstrate that LIW can bring significant benefits to teaching staff, their employers and their students and to build an LIW framework that can be adopted by other members of the JISC community. We will build a production quality e-working service for academic staff of Coventry University. Project start date: 2007-11-01. Project end date: 2009-04-01.

This work will investigate metadata application profile requirements for learning materials in relation to digital repositories. This follows the development of an ePrints application profile undertaken within the JISC Digital Repositories Programme and led by Andy Powell (Eduserv Foundation) and Julie Allinson (RRT UKOLN) on behalf of JISC. Application profiles for images, time based media and Geospatial are also being developed. As 'learning materials" encompass a much wider range of resource types than these other activities, and as there is a range of related specifications (e.g. Content Packaging, Learning Design, QTI) to be taken into consideration, it follows that this particular scoping study may require a different approach to that taken by the ePrints profile. It is proposed that the learning materials application profiles scoping study should synthesize and analyse the advice that is currently available to managers of repositories of educational materials who need to define a metadata element set to describing the resources in their collections. A typical collection of learning materials is likely to include a wide range of resource types (e.g. images, web pages, digital media, assessment items) all of which require description. In addition there are other factors such as accessibility and preservation that may need to be considered when describing resources. Most domains and resource types have developed their own specialised metadata and have their own perception of the minimum effort required for best practice. Project start date: 2007-12-01.

Meetings pervade the life of almost all researchers, and increasingly, these take the form of telephone and videoconferences amongst geographically dispersed colleagues. Supporting distributed meetings that are as productive as face-to-face meetings is a primary challenge for research and development in this field. This is the motivation for this proposal. The Access Grid(tm) (AG) is an open collaboration and resource management architecture that already provides many of the capabilities proposed by the JISC for a Virtual Research Environment (VRE). The overall aim of the project is to extend the functionality of the AG with advanced meeting support and information management tools that were developed and validated in the recent e-Science project, CoAKTinG. The project will also deploy this environment as a prototype VRE with end-user communities in order to test, evaluate and discover further user requirements. Our end-user partners represent a cross-section of communities interested in the potential of the proposed VRE to meet their needs. The areas represented by our partners include performance art, social science, middleware development and minority communities. These diverse users will help the project to evaluate the generic value of its capabilities. A phased deployment and evaluation process is planned, starting with the immediate project team as users, to address obvious usability and technical issues, before extending to the project partners who will subject the tools to a more formal evaluation.

This project (MERLIN) will use off-the-shelf text mining techniques to enrich the functionality of the SHERPA-LEAP consortial repository cross-searching service, LASSO. LASSO offers search across aggregated, normalised metadata which is collected from London-based institutional repositories using OAI-PMH harvesting. MERLIN will use the TerMine term extraction tool to derive terms from the full text digital objects held at LASSO's source repositories and, after a weighting process, enrich the LASSO database with derived keywords. The derived terms will be exposed at various points in the LASSO interface to support discovery. In a supplementary strand, MERLIN will apply the tools developed by the HILT project to construct a pilot hierarchical, browsable subject tree from the text-mined keywords. The remodelled interface will undergo usability testing, and an end-user evaluation process will be carried out to inform the development work of the project. Project start date: 2009-04-01.

mobile campus assistant
The Placement Learning and Assessment Toolkit project acknowledges that practice-based learning and the mentoring process would be improved with tools which allowed on-the-spot entry of results of assessments, such that feedback was given and follow-up actions were decided immediately. The project aims to provide a mobile learning toolkit to support practice-based learning, mentoring, and assessment, and to add mobile assessment tools to the e-framework. The project will develop a 'back office' infrastructure to support the deployment of the proposed toolkit and two selected tools. Phase 1 development comprises toolkit analysis, design, and implementation, followed by pilot and evaluation within a simulated environment based in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Phases 2 and 3 involve the application and implementation of the toolkit within real clinical contexts associated with the University of Southampton Foundation Degree in Health and Social Care located within the Health Care Innovation Unit, Thames Valley University, and Bournemouth and Poole College. Phase 3 is funded entirely by the partner institutions, following the first two years which are partially JISC-funded. Project start date: 2006-09-01. Project end date: 2009-08-01.

Profile of Cory Booker
U.S. Senator
Date Of Birth:
27 April 1969
Place Of Birth:
Washington, D.C.
Best Known As:
The Newark mayor who became a U.S. Senator in 2013
Democrat Cory Booker was the mayor of Newark, New Jersey before being elected to the United States Senate on 16 October 2013. He was born in Washington, D.C., but Booker grew up in the suburbs of northern New Jersey. He earned an undergraduate degree (1991) and a graduate degree (1992) from Stanford (where he played varsity football), then studied in England on a Rhodes Scholarship, getting another graduate degree in American history in 1994. A graduate of the Yale College of Law (1997), Booker started his legal career in the world of non-profits, but was soon elected to the Newark City Council and started his political career in 1998. After only four years on the city council, Booker ran for mayor in 2002, but lost. He ran again in 2006, having earned a reputation as a champion for the underprivileged as well as a champion at fundraising, and won. As Mayor of Newark, Booker gained national attention, thanks in part to his connections to high-powered celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Mark Zuckerberg, and because of newsworthy street heroics, such as saving a neighbor from a burning house, saving a dog from the freezing cold and shoveling snow from a constituent's driveway. New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg died in June of 2013, and Booker won a special election to replace him in October. Booker was sworn in as a U.S. Senator on 31 October 2013.

Bolt needs a worthy challenge to remain top draw
Usain Bolt is undoubtedly the biggest name in world sport but unless someone emerges who is able to realistically challenge his hegemony then even the majestic Jamaican might begin to lose some of his stardust.india Updated: Aug 18, 2013 16:09 IST
Usain Bolt is undoubtedly the biggest name in world sport but unless someone emerges who is able to realistically challenge his hegemony then even the majestic Jamaican might begin to lose some of his stardust.
Bolt completed another sprint double when he added the world 200 metres title to the 100 he took last Sunday but his victory left something of a hollow feeling, achieved as it was with him easing up in the last 15 metres.
READ: Bolt wins gold in men's 200 metres at World Championships
Having secured the same double at the last two Olympics and the 2009 world championships and almost certainly been denied another only by a false start in the 2011 world 100m final Bolt's victories are less races than processions.
Coming off an injury-hit start to the season, his winning times in Moscow - 9.77 and 19.66 seconds - are way down on his 2009 world records of 9.58 and 19.19 but still nobody was even remotely close to challenging him. READ: How Bolt beat the bag
The Jamaican, always more at home in the longer sprint, was completely relaxed as he prepared for the race and did not change his demeanour as his giant stride ate up the ground on the opening bend.
It was in the bag halfway down the straight and he eased up in the last few strides while the rest of the field were bursting their lungs in his slipstream in the fight for the minor medals.
Compatriot Warren Weir, bronze medallist in the Olympics, ran well in lane eight to take silver in a personal best 19.79 while Curtis Mitchell grabbed the bronze for the United States in 20.04, preventing a Jamaican clean sweep by one hundredth of a second as he held off Nickel Ashmeade.
"After 150 I looked across I saw Warren there and knew he was tired so wasn't too stressed about that. I looked to the other side and there was nobody there so I thought I'd probably won it," said Bolt.
Need to find another way to celebrate these victory #icebathhttp://t.co/RBmeY3OJs5— Usain St. Leo Bolt (@usainbolt) August 17, 2013
"When I started getting tired in the last 15 metres I thought 'why not back off?' to make sure I was okay for Sunday (the 4x100m relay) and the rest of the year.
"I'm all about winning championships and if I run 20 flat to win a championship I'm okay with that," he said.
"I love the 200, everyone knows that. The 100 is for the fans and for the show, fastest man in the world and all that, but for me it means more to come here and defend my 200 title."
With no sign of world records, with little real excitement in his races, no more talk of moving up to 400 metres or the long jump and, mercifully, no more fanciful speculation of a soccer career with Manchester United, what is there to keep the fans interested?
A diversion into the Commonwealth Games would be a mildly interesting side show next season if compatriot Yohan Blake was fit and fancied a crack but Bolt's long-term aim remains the Rio Olympics in 2016.
He would be hitting 31 then and, even if injury-free, surely struggling to be running in the low 9.6s and 19s, and winning third golds in both sprints would certainly be an absolutely extraordinary achievement.
READ: Science behind Bolt's 'spectacular speed' revealed
The vibes in my restaurant tracks and records back in jam 100m finals… http://t.co/NdDBWsWwid— Usain St. Leo Bolt (@usainbolt) August 15, 2013
No complacency
Bolt, for one, is not taking anything for granted.
"These guys step their game up year after year and I'm sure they'll go away and work harder," he said after Saturday's win.
"Warren got another pb today and I'm sure over the next few years it will get even harder."
Tyson Gay and Blake have both run 9.69 while Blake has run 19.26 over the 200 but both were absent from Moscow - Gay for a positive drugs test and Blake through injury. READ:Fans can trust me, says Bolt
Gay was the last man to beat Bolt in a major 200m race, in the 2007 world final, while Justin Gatlin's rare win over the big man earlier this season came while Bolt was recuperating from injury.
It might be all over for Gay but Blake, still only 23, looks to have the talent and mentality to challenge his compatriot.
Others might need to work on overcoming his aura if they are to really challenge him.
"It was just a privilege to be in the race with these guys and I'm just honoured to be sitting here next to Usain Bolt," said Mitchell, in a phrase that will send shivers down the spines of America's "second place is first loser" coaching fraternity.
