Sydney Lea, Vermont's current poet laureate, wants to use that honorary position to clear away some of the fog that he believes surrounds poetry these days.
"I would like to de-mystify poetry," he says. "Poetry is really just another way of looking at the world."
And so, Lea is focusing his four-year term as poet laureate on appearances around the state where he is sure of finding ordinary Vermonters who might be willing to give poetry another try: community libraries.

End Discriminatory Laws, and Transformative Change Can Follow
In September 2013, four elderly sisters in Botswana were finally and definitively allowed to remain in the ancestral home where they had spent most of their lives — the result of their own tenacity and determination that a young nephew could not step in and take ownership of a property they had lovingly maintained.
This landmark decision by the highest court in Botswana, the Court of Appeal, followed five years of efforts by women's networks and legal associations who helped the sisters bring their claim. The judges decided that customary laws favoring the rights of the youngest male heir were simply out of date.
"The Constitutional values of equality before the law and the increased leveling of the power structures with more and more women heading households and participating with men as equals in the public sphere and increasingly in the private sphere demonstrate that there is no rational and justifiable basis for sticking to the narrow norms of days gone by when such norms go against current value systems," wrote Justice Lesetedi of the Botswana Court of Appeal.
The reform of discriminatory laws can lead to transformative change.

New poll shows a growing number of Louisiana voters support marriage
April 11, 2014
This week, a new poll from The 2014 Louisiana Survey has tracked increasing support for the freedom to marry in Louisiana. The poll shows that in just one year, support for marriage across the state increased by 3 points, with 42% of residents saying they are supportive. In New Orleans specifically, a large majority - 58 percent - said they support the freedom to marry. A different poll from Public Policy Polling from 2013 tracked support for marriage at just 28%, meaning that every day, Louisiana is moving marriage forward.
When the question was expanded to include whether the respondent supports civil union or other forms of legal protection for gay and lesbian couples, a solid 50% of all Louisianans said they are supportive (up from 47% last year).
Younger Louisianans view the freedom to marry even more favorably, with 60 percent of respondents ages 18-24 saying they support marriage for gay and lesbian couples. And, notably, a massive 67 percent of survey respondents, regardless of their personal beliefs on the subject, said they believed that same-sex couples in Louisiana would "eventually" have the freedom to marry.
Just a few weeks ago, a national Washington Post-ABC News poll tracked support for marriage in the Southern region of the United States at a solid 50%.
Through Southerners for the Freedom to Marry, we have worked to amplify this support and continue making the case - alongside more than a dozen state and regional partner organizations, including LA-based Equality Louisiana - that America is ready for marriage.

"DSOM – Minero las piedras" GC273NE GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – November 21, 2011
The warning is clear: "Never go alone!" This difficulty five, terrain five geocache challenges adventurers as they descend below the surface of the island of Mallorca.
The cache page for "DSOM – Minero las piedras" (GC273NE) weaves a ghostly story of phantom voices and those who did not obey warnings turning to stone. 'DSOM' stands for 'Dark Side of Mallorca.'
Pullermann & Tossiman hid the small size cache in 2010. Some 35 geocachers have logged smileys on the geocache and it has received 23 Favorite Points so far.
The cache page tells the story of Pedro, the ghost of the stones. The cache owners tempt geocachers to hunt for the cache: "Do you want to unveil Pedro's secret? His ghost may live in an old can which is hidden very well somewhere in the quarry. To locate it, you have to follow Pedro's traces. But be careful, never walk alone…"
To find the final location of this Multi-Cache, geocachers must use clues collected at several waypoints. When they finally reach the location of Pedro's ghost they discover artifacts which lead them to the final cache container. Geocachers must also use specialized climbing equipment and are advised to take extreme caution.
One geocacher reports completing this geocache took his group seven hours. He also said "DSOM" was one of his favorite caches. Other logs on the cache page read, "Wow wow wow!" Followed by a string of smileys.

At the University Of North Dakota John D. Odegard School Of Aerospace Sciences (UND Aerospace) safety is a core principle of operation. That's why UND Aerospace was asked by the FAA to be part of a pilot program to develop a safety management system (SMS) for the school's Part 141 FAA approved flight training program.
"SMS is the formal application of best management practices to the business of aviation safety," said Frank Argenziano, assistant director for aviation safety (pictured). "We have always had a strong safety culture at UND Aerospace, but SMS provides more structure, a better system of checks and balances and more input on safety concerns by students and staff."
The 12-member SMS working group includes Argenziano; William Watson, assistant professor of aviation; Paul Snyder, assistant director of Extension Programs; and Gary Ullrich, associate professor of aviation.
SMS in the aviation industry is based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirement that each country require its air carriers to have an SMS program if they operate internationally.
"While we don't operate internationally we do have many customers from other countries," Snyder said, "and those customers are asking if we have an SMS program in place."
Although air carriers are required to have a SMS, it is still voluntary for most other aviation operations. Snyder went on to say, "The FAA is encouraging operators to embrace SMS as a matter of best safety practice, regardless of whether it becomes a requirement for all FAA certificated operators in the future."
"This is still a relatively new concept for aviation schools such as ours," sai Ullrich. "As a matter of fact, in June, UND Aerospace became the first Part 141 program to have a safety management system recognized by the FAA. This was a very significant milestone for us and the FAA. There are four levels of progression to be fully SMS compliant, and we hope to move from level 2 to level 3 this fall."
"SMS isn't a one-time operation," noted Watson. "It requires continuous improvement of the organization's safety programs, as well as the participation of everyone in the organization."
To this end, the four core individuals attended a 10-day SMS training program conducted by the Department of Transportation Safety Training Institute in Oklahoma City. "With the formal training we received, we will, in turn, start training our faculty, staff and students this fall," said Watson.
The team explained the formal structure that SMS provides.
"SMS is comprised of four components or pillars," said Snyder. "Safety Policy, Safety Risk Management, Safety Assurance, and Safety Promotion and Culture. Safety Policy tells us what we do and how we should do it; Safety Risk Management provides the methods to identify risks to the organization, as well as the means of mitigating the risks to the lowest practical level. Safety Assessment allows us to audit our operation and determine 'are we really doing what we say we do.'"
"And", Watson added, "Safety Promotion and Culture insures that everyone takes an active role, and that they report unsafe conditions or acts without fear of reprisal. This is the key to a successful SMS."
It's also about enhancing student safety, already a vital principle in UND's aviation education program, university officials said.
"An SMS will help students on every single flight," Snyder said. "Really, what SMS is about is continuous improvement. Basically, that means taking as much chance out of the operational environment as you can."
And, the interest in SMS doesn't stop there.
"We also received a grant from the FAA to develop an SMS program designed to meet the specific needs of Part 141 flight programs," said Ullrich. "Developing an SMS, especially for a smaller school without a lot of human resources, can be a very daunting experience. Even for us, we have over three years invested in this. Learning from our experience we are developing an easy to use SMS format that any school, regardless of size, could look at and say 'SMS makes sense, and we can do it.'"
"SMS is a journey," said Argenziano. "When we first started, I was skeptical whether the benefits justified the effort we had to invest. Now I look around and see our students and staff applying the principal of SMS every day. That means a safer training environment for our students and instructors, and a safer work environment for our line and maintenance staff. What more could you ask for?"

BEDFORD — Here, in a blank brick building in a suburban office park, is a vision of an autism quite different from what we've come to expect. And a glimpse of a future for which we're woefully unprepared.
A teenager bolts down a hallway. His teacher races after him, puts a hand on his shoulder, gently guides him back. A boy lies on cushions in a closet lit by a lava lamp, his teacher waiting for him to rejoin the world. Two young men sit at a table, practicing halting small-talk as they eat. A teacher taps on an iPad hanging from a girl's neck to prompt her to interact with a stranger.
"How are you?" a robotic voice prompts.
"How are you?" she finally repeats.
These kids are not the hyper-focused math whizzes who have trouble reading social cues, or the ones with encyclopedic knowledge of transit systems who don't like noise. They're at the other end of the spectrum, their limitations more profound. Some harm themselves, can barely communicate at all, or have low IQs. Their needs cannot be met by traditional schools, so they come here, to the Nashoba Learning Group.
The autistic population has exploded in recent decades. When her son Sean, now 20, was diagnosed in 1995, "I had never even heard of autism," said Liz Martineau, Nashoba's president. The rate of diagnosis was 1 in 5,000. Now 1 in 88 children has the disorder — 1 in 54 boys.
"I knew nobody with an autistic child," she said. "I was told by his special ed teacher, 'Oh, autism, that's a fashionable diagnosis these days.' " Struggling to get her son the help he needed, Martineau quit her job as a consultant, trained in therapy, and started her own school. It now serves 90 kids, ages 3 to 22. A whopping 270 more are on a waiting list. Kids here get intensive one-on-one teaching. Some who arrive unable to communicate learn to express themselves with the help of iPads. They learn how to avoid harming themselves, how to be more social, how to make a bed.
For parents, these are miraculous developments. "When my boys were in [a traditional] school, teachers told me the most we can hope for is that they will independently complete toileting tasks," said Una Basak, whose twins are now 10. They were hitting, biting, and pulling hair 100 times a day, she said. "We had stopped talking to our children because we believed they didn't understand."
After two months at Nashoba, therapists could see the boys had absorbed way more in those public schools than anyone knew. One could read words. The other could do math. After months of therapy, the aggression is almost gone. Basak now takes them to restaurants.
The therapy that transformed her children — paid for by school districts — is expensive, as is autism in general. A study by the Harvard School of Public Health found that, directly and indirectly, it costs about $3.2 million to care for a person with autism through life. Federal law requires that states provide services to people with autism until they're 22. The picture for adults is more patchy. Nationally, 500,000 people with autism will enter adulthood in the next decade. Some will not qualify for services. Even high-functioning adults face high unemployment.
For men and women aging out of Nashoba, the picture has been more grim. In another time, they'd be institutionalized, or sent to day programs designed for people with other disabilities. But this year, Nashoba expanded, and now adults with severe autism can continue to learn, stay active, and work. On a recent afternoon, Nashoba's first small group of adults were rolling out dough to make dog treats. A dozen students and teachers wore hairnets in the kitchen, talking and laughing as they baked.
There is joy here, but also trepidation. For every adult who lands at Nashoba, others will be stranded. Massachusetts is a national leader in tackling this challenge, but Martineau and others worry that services for adults with severe autism haven't kept pace with those for kids, and that neither are adequate to what is coming.
"Kids who have been underserved all the way through will age out and become gigantic 3-year-olds," she said. "That same tsunami will hit the adult world. We're just at the tip of it."Yvonne Abraham is a Globe columnist. She can be reached at email@example.com

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
Markets are popping here this morning. And the momentum traders are trying to dip their toes back in the water and hoping the markets don't rip their heads off again, to mix metaphors.
It's probably more bullish for these formerly highflying momentum stocks to ease back up rather than spike back up 10% or 15% in a day or two of trading.
It's probably easier to build longer-term shareholders when investors like me get the chance to slowly build up a position. There's no set science or easy paint-the-numbers signals or prices for adding to a stock for most fundamentally-minded investors. And remember that with any stock at any given time, there are people buying and selling for a multitude of reasons, including overall positioning in their portfolio, their outlook on the markets and near-term moves in the markets, withdrawal demands they need to meet and so on.
Point is, steady as she goes for me today as usual, as I follow my playbook of scaling into my favorite stocks when they're down and trimming them after big rallies.
Here are a few of the best questions from readers of mine on MarketWatch, TradingWithCody and Scutify. If you'd like to reach out to me with a question, simply ask a question in the comment section below.
Q. Cody what new products do u think Apple is coming out with later this year?
A. I could recite the same rumored upcoming products for Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL like the iWatch and an iTV and a bigger iPhone. Most importantly for the near-term I think is that they need a brand new, hugely updated and innovative iOS operating system for the iPhones and iPads already out there in the market place. And I think easy-to-speak-to voice recognition and capabilities have got to be better on the new iOS too. Meanwhile, I am waiting patiently for somebody like Apple to roll out speech- and/or gesture-recognition technology that even works with your iPhone or iPad from inside your pants pocket or purse so you don't have to constantly be holding some gadget and staring at digital screen with blinking lights. And when am I gonna' get my holographic and/or projector form factor from my iPhone and iPad too? Anyway, iWatch and iTV and all that. Sigh.
Q. But when i see "iWatch and iTV " it sounds a little unspectacular-big-deal-you're-not-the-first to me. Will anybody perceive that as a game-changer for Apple?
A. Good question and unless the iWatch and iTV and bigger iPhone's operating systems are crazy cooler than the current version of Apple's iOS, no, they might very well fall flat with consumers. Android is killing it.
Q. Cody any opinion on FEYE?
A. I like FireEye /quotes/zigman/21587200/delayed /quotes/nls/feye FEYE enough down here after its huge crash today, coming on top of its huge recent crash before today, that I Voted Bullish Sentiment on Scutify for the next 30 days — but not enough to have put my money in it yet. I'm thinking about creating a basket of FireEye, Splunk /quotes/zigman/9588578/delayed /quotes/nls/splk SPLK and another crashed name or two that will likely go bubblicious and rally big time from here if the bubble-blowing bull market ain't over yet.
Q. Hello Cody, I'd like to know your thoughts on Google self-driving car technology. Where do you think it will be at as a business in 5 years?
A. I consider the Google Unmanned Car technology to be a Drone Revolution business. It will likely end the low-end cabbie and limo and delivery businesses entirely and make city street grids incredibly more efficient as it reduces gridlock and butterfly effects on the streets. Probably will be at least 10 years before it'll be mainstream in downtown NYC and downtown Rome, etc. Click here to download the Scutify Android app or click here for the Scutify iPhone/iPad app.
Q. Cody: Any investigation into/knowledge of Illumina (ILMN) as a possible med-tech Revolutionary investment? The Fool has been high on this, and recently re-iterated: "For a science technology company, Illumina (NASDAQ: ILMN) is looking flashy these days. The company introduced an instrument capable of sequencing an entire human genome for just $1,000, a long-sought-for goal, and 100 have been ordered — twice as many as expected. Illumina might even be capturing nearly all sales for new sequencers, according to growth fund manager Ron Baron. Even if that's not the case, it shows how strongly Illumina's performing. The genomic medical revolution is coming, and Illumina is leading the way. What are you waiting for?"
A. I used to go to dinner with some of the earliest employees at Illumina /quotes/zigman/83650/delayed /quotes/nls/ilmn ILMN back when it was a small-cap stock. I was good friends with Paul who was in turn good friends with the head of ILMN's investors relations chief. Paul had a Master's in biology and chemistry from Duke and a degree in pre-med from Harvard or something like that. I do not have a degree in biology or chemistry or pre-med, so I stick with technologies and areas that I do understand and can game and predict better. I have no doubt that DNA mapping and all that kind of stuff will continue to be huge. But I have no idea how the governments controlled by these corrupt corporatist regimes like the Republican/Democrat regime here or the regimes that runs Iceland where ILMN was founded, are going to regulate and patent these things. Good luck either way. Oh, and I neglected to mention there that Paul was running a wildly successful biotech hedge fund and spent 120 hours a week studying genomes, DNA and regulations. And he still eventually went on to an easier way to make a living and now runs one of the world's largest global consultancies.

The Cape Verde Peninsula sticks out westward into the Atlantic Ocean, reaching from the Old World to the New, harbouring the westernmost city on the African mainland: Dakar. A city that represents Africa's development better than almost any other, Dakar boasts the comforts and luxuries of modern living, while firmly keeping a grasp on its history and traditions. The bustling markets of downtown are juxtaposed with the laid-back pace of Île de Gorée and the surrounding beaches, making a visit to Dakar a fascinating experience of contrast.

Most businesses and shops generally open at about 8:30am and close around 7:30-8:30pm. Some establishments may close for a few hours during the early afternoon. Some places may also open Sunday morning, and others will remain closed on Mondays.

Dakar is and has for centuries been a vital hub for travel and commerce, connecting Africa, Europe and the Americas. Once an important point for the Atlantic slave trade because of its strategic location, it still holds an important position for trade, transport and communication.
Dakar's rich cultural heritage and a diverse and often difficult colonial history have bred a unique social blend that incorporates European, North African and West African elements, but stands out from all three. It is a blossoming city with a vibrant art scene, exciting diversity and enough natural wonders in the vecinity to warrant a few day trips. The mix of cultures is clearly visible in every aspect of the city, from the art and architecture to the cuisine and religious practices, and every quartier holds new things to discover.
Giant bronze statues, fantastic art museums, mosques, cathedrals and tons of fascinating history mean that you're sure to find plenty to do in Dakar. If you feel like exploring a bit further outside the city, attractions like the vibrant pink Lake Retba, the Village des Tortues, and the nearby Goree Island make for great day trips.

Like its people, Senegal's cuisine draws from North African, French and Portuguese influences, all mixed with local ingredients and the gastronomic traditions of the country's diverse ethnic groups. Fish is an important part of the food here, as are lamb, peas, peanuts, cous cous and lentils. Also, be sure to try some of the delicious fruit juices, such as mango, soursop and buy, the fruit of the baobab tree.

Coffee culture in Dakar has its quirks. There's nothing quite like buying a tiny plastic cup of extra sweetened coffee from a street vendor. But as the city has become ever more cosmopolitan and worldly, and as international influences have become more and more a part of life in the Senegalese capital, Western style cafes have been popping up throughout the city. Below are some suggestions for those wanting to escape the hustle of the city to enjoy a hot coffee, a quick snack or a creamy dessert.

Dakar boasts some of the best, liveliest and most varied nightlife in West Africa. Bars serve cool and refreshing drinks, and nightclubs keep the crowds dancing till morning. Additionally, the selection of musical and cultural events is staggering, and concerts, cinema and different kinds of performances are always available throughout the city.

The best shopping to be found in Dakar is at the abundant and colourful markets found all around the city. Some specialize in certain types of products, like fabrics or produce, while others seem to offer anything and everything you can think of. Be sure to haggle to ensure getting the best possible price, and beware of pickpockets, who tend to prefer the hectic bustle of markets to find easy prey.

Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport
Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport (DKR) is located in the area of Yoff, in the northwest part of town. It is the main air travel hub of the country and handles numerous flight to major international destinations in Africa and Europe, as well as to New York.
If you haven't arranged for airport pickup, taxis are your best bet to get to the city. There is a taxi stand outside the terminal, but many illegal taxi drivers will try to offer rides before you can get there. Ignore them and only take the registered taxis. Bus number 8 also goes to the city from the airport. It is much cheaper than a taxi, but can also take much longer.

Public Transport
Dakar's public bus system is called Dakar Demm Dikk. It is relatively reliable and very affordable, but the bus network can be very difficult to figure out if you're not already familiar with it. Be sure to ask a local which bus to take to get where you're going. Cars Rapides, small blue and yellow mini-buses are a good option for getting to more remote areas of the city. The person in charge or the money will yell out its destinations, so flag it down if it's going your way.
Taxis are ubiquitous in Dakar and can be flagged down anywhere. They are fast and safe, as well, but you must haggle and agree on the fare before getting in. Taxis can also be caught in front of major hotels.

Utility Rates, Deposits & Other Charges
Raleigh, Garner, Rolesville, Knightdale, Wake Forest, Wendell and Zebulon
Review and understand your utility rates billed by the City of Raleigh.
2018 Utility Rates
On June 11
2018, Raleigh's City Council adopted the official schedule of rates,
charges and rents for water, sewer and reuse water utility billed on or
after July 1, 2018, regardless of the date of delivery of service, for
the Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Rolesville and Wake Forest service delivery areas.
(Ordinance No. 2018-839)
Schedule of Charges for All Customers
Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Rolesville, Wake Forest
Raleigh | Raleigh-Beechwood Subdivision | Garner | Knightdale | Rolesville | Wake Forest
Single Family Residential Water and Wastewater customers can expect to see a 1.6 percent increase in water and wastewater usage rates.
The typical residential customer that utilizes five CCFs (3,740 gallons) of water per month will see a $0.91 cent increase in the water and wastewater portion of the bill.
Wendell, Zebulon
Wendell | Zebulon
The majority of the rate and fee increases will be to fund replacement of the City's aging underground infrastructure. Some of the pipes in the water distribution and sewer collection system are more than 100 years old and are at or approaching the end of the service life. The Public Utilities Department is committed to replacing such pipes before they fail; particularly the most critical pipes whose failure would have significant social, environmental, and economic impacts.
City officials and Public Utilities staff recognize the financial and budgetary challenges facing many customers and we remain dedicated to providing high quality water and sewer services at a reasonable cost.
If you should have questions regarding rate changes and what it means to you, please contact Jennifer Alford, administration superintendent at 919-996-3465 or via email.
2017 Utility Rates
Water, irrigation, and wastewater (sewer) have an average volumetric increase of 2.8 percent (Raleigh, Garner, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Beechwood and Richland Hills) and a small increase in Sewer Infrastructure Replacement Charges.
The City of Raleigh adopted a $0.75 increase in their Residential Solid Waste Fee.
Raleigh, Garner, Rolesville, Wake Forest
On June 12, 2017, Raleigh's City Council adopted the official schedule of rates, charges and rents for water, sewer and reuse water utility billed on or after July 1, 2017, regardless of the date of delivery of service, for the Raleigh, Garner, Rolesville and Wake Forest service delivery areas. (Ordinance No. 2017-716)
Raleigh | Raleigh-Beechwood Subdivision | Garner | Rolesville | Wake Forest
Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon
New rates effective July 1, 2017 were also adopted by the towns of Knightdale, Wendell and Zebulon.
Knightdale | Wendell | Zebulon
Administrative Fees
The City of Raleigh bills administrative fees to all utility customers based on water and waste water services provided.
Administrative fees cover these important components:
- Billing - This portion is based on the costs associated with the Meter Operations Division and the Utility Billing Division of the City's Public Utilities Department.
- Readiness to Serve - This portion is based on some of the costs for Capital Improvements, Administrative and Utilities Support functions. In other words, this component partially funds maintenance of the infrastructure required to provide utility services to each customer.
Tiered Water Rates - Raleigh, Garner, Rolesville, Wake Forest and Knightdale
Water rates for Raleigh, Garner, Rolesville, Wake Forest and Knightdale have 3 rate tiers based on consumption. Each tier is billed at a different rate.
Residential Water Rates (Inside City Limits):
- Tier 1 = 0-4 CCF billed at $2.54
- Tier 2 = 5-10 CCF billed at $4.24
- Tier 3 = 11+ CCF billed at $5.64
Non-Residential Water Rate: $3.29
Irrigation Rate: $5.64
1 CCF = 748 gallons
To determine the amount of water used in gallons, simply multiply the number of CCFs (the consumption number on the water bill) by 748.
Watershed Protection Fee
The Watershed Protection Fee is a funding mechanism for the City's water supply protection programs. The City will impose a fee of $0.1122 per CCF (per 100 cubic feet of water) for Raleigh, Garner, Rolesville, Wake Forest and Knightdale water customers. The funds are used to pay for the Upper Neuse Clean Water Initiative, as well as additional drinking water quality improvements to the treatment system, and/or for protective restoration projects.
The Upper Neuse Clean Water Initiative is a land trust partnership created to protect the areas most critical to the long-term health of the drinking water supplies for the communities in the Upper Neuse River Basin. Protection efforts include acquiring parcels of land through conservation agreements, purchases, or donations within the Falls Lake watershed. Funds from the program are also expected to be available to help purchase easements around Lake Benson and possibly around the future Little River Reservoir.
Infrastructure Replacement Charges
These charges will apply to ALL UTILITY CUSTOMERS serviced and billed by the City of Raleigh. The charges will be assessed per meter and based on meter size.
There is one Infrastructure Replacement Charge for water service, and there is another Infrastructure Replacement Charge for waste water (sewer) service.

This fee will be in addition to any fines and/or civil penalties charged by Public Utilities Code Enforcement.
If tampering occurs at a residence one or more times, the City of Raleigh has the right to remove the water meter. If meter removal occurs due to tampering or non-payment of account, the customer will be assessed $125 at the time of service restoration ($50 Meter Removal Charge and $75 Meter Reset Charge), plus applicable fees for any required repairs if damage to the lines, meter or box occurred. Service restoration will occur when the account balance is paid in full.

Sec. 2-3002. - EACH METER IS THE BASIS FOR CHARGES AND RATES, ETC.
When two (2) or more meters are used to measure the consumption of water by the occupants of property belonging to a public or private owner, the water consumed as measured by each meter shall be the basis upon which charges and rates are determined, and the owner of such property shall not be permitted to pay for such water consumed upon the basis of the aggregate of water passing through all of such meters; each meter is billed separately.
(Code 1959, 23-27; Ord. No. 1981-604, 4, 3-17-81)
The City of Raleigh assesses a $50 Service Initiation Fee per Meter (Water, Irrigation, etc) to cover fees associated with the administration of the account. The Service Initiation Fee is charged to all customers establishing service in their name.

Nestled in the south-western corner of Alberta, Canada, the Canadian focal point in the Crown of the Continent region of the Rocky Mountains, Waterton Lakes National Park is Canada's fourth national park. It presents visitors with a huge variety of scenic landscapes, ranging from prairie grasslands, aspen groves, alpine meadows, sub-alpine forests to rugged mountain peaks.
Despite being joined with Glacier National Park in Montana, USA to form the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, and being named a World Heritage Site, this park is still slightly off the radar compared to the more famous national parks in North America and is kept that way by it's location and it's network of roads that lead nowhere in particular.

With the regular season winding down, it's getting to be that time where players and coaches and experts are going to start talking about what the postseason might bring.
The Clippers are currently in third in the Western Conference behind front-running San Antonio and Oklahoma City. That means that quite a bit is expected of Los Angeles once the playoffs begin, and it sounds like Detroit Pistons coach John Loyer expects the Clippers to make a nice run.
"Oh, they're very talented," Loyer said prior to the Pistons game Saturday against the Clippers at Staples Center. "I thought they were pretty talented and they had quite a few guys out the past couple of weeks. I think they're very deep on the bench, they've added some perimeter shooting (in Danny Granger)."
There is plenty more.
"They have two of the better big guys in the league," he said of center DeAndre Jordan and power forward Blake Griffin. "So they're a very talented team and they have a very good coach (Doc Rivers). That's a pretty good combination."
Davis fitting in
Glen "Big Baby" Davis came from the Orlando Magic to the Clippers in February, but he spent the first four years of his NBA career playing under current Clippers coach Doc Rivers at Boston. He therefore really didn't need to know Rivers' offensive system upon his arrival.
He did need to get familiar with the players and how they work, however.
"The offense is really familiar to me," said Davis, who suited up for his 11th game with the Clippers on Saturday. "With Doc's system, I think I know what he wants. It's just what the guys want, what Chris Paul wants and how he wants it done, what Blake wants."
Davis, a forward/center, has at times been playing backup to Jordan, the Clippers' high-jumping post.
"He (Griffin) is used to playing with a guy who's above the rim, so it's easy for him," Davis said. "I'm a different player. I'm below the rim. I'm different than DeAndre, so just learning the system and knowing the guys on the floor."
Davis, who is 6-foot-9 and 289 pounds, has career scoring and rebounding averages of 8.8 and 4.7, respectively. He's averaging 3.4 points and 2.6 rebounds for the Clippers, but he entered play Saturday averaging just 13.8 minutes, well below his career average of 22.9. He's averaging 10.5 points and 5.6 rebounds overall this season.
The Clippers finish out this brief two-game homestand when they play host to Milwaukee on Monday. Then it's on the road for games at New Orleans (Wednesday), Dallas (Thursday), Houston (March 29), Minnesota (March 31) and Phoenix (April 2).

Heading back to school with Little Teeth, Big Smiles
Back to school means most people have a checklist of items on their to-do list that range from grocery shopping healthy lunch options to haircuts and clothes shopping. And yes, it also signals a good time to schedule doctor and dental appointments.
When it comes to the dentist, the routine appointment can strike fear in many children for one primary reason: cavities. The dreaded sound of drilling in the dentist chair is unwelcome in children and adults alike. However, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics, cavities are the most common chronic disease in children with well over half of children from ages 12-19 developing at least one cavity. In a recently released study, the Academy cited tooth decay as a "silent epidemic" that disproportionately affects poor, young, and minority populations.
Poor dental health can lead to many health problems, ranging from cavities to other much more serious complications like respiratory infections and even cardiovascular problems. That is just one of the reasons Halifax Regional Dental Clinic recently hosted a program called, "Little Teeth, Big Smiles" to educate parents and children about the importance of establishing good dental habits early and maintaining them throughout life. Parents and children learned about preventing cavities, baby teeth and permanent teeth, good snacks versus bad snacks, and proper brushing and flossing techniques.
Dr. Bridget Brown, dental director at the Halifax clinic, led the education session. She was recently joined at the center by Dr. Trisstar Oliver. In operation since Feb. 1, 2013, the clinic was built as a partnership with the generous support of the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, the Virginia Tobacco Commission, and other partnering organizations.

A winner was selected from 41 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Cage Fighting Fans
We are a small group of high tech enthusiasts that also LOVE MMA.
We are building a site that allows MMA fans to upload their videos and photos, comment on others (think youtube for Mixed martial arts)
We we also have a section where fighters are profiled and promoters can list their upcoming events.
We aim to attract people that visit multiple sites to follow this sport, and offer them a single location to track most of the action in this growing sport.
Users will be encouraged to load photos, and videos. We are building a community section where (like face book) users can have friends, a wall to post on, and an active forum.
We plan on giving users points for activities and then being able to get merchandise in exchange for points earned
We are looking for a logo that can be in the upper left of the web site.
Ideally it can be also be used to place on a T-shirt and other promotional materials, such as stickers and coffee mugs.
Logo should capture the concept that Cage Fighting is a sport, also know as Mixed martial arts.
It is blend of different fighters with different styles fighting in a cage.
If you would like to see some of the major promoters, look at UFC and strikeforce.
Typeface should be clear
should have feel of movement and action
needs to be used on printed material and website that has dark background.
Designs are welcome that include the bug as well as a banner across the top of the page.
Site is in development at http://www.cagefightingfans.com

Revision as of 11:25, 7 August 2009
My feedback
- Choose Installation Type
- Are the checkboxes actually useful? You can just rely on the tabs in the Advanced Device Selection window. If it takes too much time to scan everything (I doubt so), then the listviews in the tabs can be filled in lazily by Anaconda the first time a tab is selected.
- Device Selection
- The checkbox meaning multiple things (install on and any other drives you'd like to be automatically mounted to your system) is very confusing. For the simple device selection, you could scan all drives and show the device selection before the mount point selection (or maybe not show it at all and, again, present all drives); remember that in most cases just one or two drives will be shown.
- For the advanced device selection I can only think of showing the device selection twice---once before scanning for existing systems, once before defining the mount points.
- I don't know however if it makes sense to have multiple tabs if you can just choose one item from one of them. A dropdown instead of the tabs is more intuitive in this case. On the other hand, showing the same dialog twice, once with a dropdown and once with tabs, is definitely a bad idea.
- Select partitioning scheme
- If you show the device selection dialog twice the dropdown would be unnecessary. OTOH in the simple installation case it is probably better to keep the dropdown and have only one simple device selection step after the partitioning scheme has been selected.
- Also, device(s) is ugly. Just use devices. And remove assuming you have enough free space available.

Click here to read the report.
If you are too impatient to read, here is the essence.
There is no single perfect algorithm when analysing acceleration signals. The analysis framework should provide a toolbox of different algorithms, some working in the time-domain, some operating in the frequency domain. The decision engine that classifies the movements may use a number of algorithms, a characteristic set for each movement type.
It has been concluded in the medical research community that wavelet transformation is the most optimal algorithm for frequency-domain analysis of acceleration signals. This report presented concrete cases, how wavelet transformation can be used to classify three common movements: walking, running and shake. In addition, the wavelet transformation provided data series that can be used to extract other interesting information, e.g. step count.
For those who would like to repeat my experiments, I uploaded the prototype. First
you need Sage (I used version 4.3.3). Download and unpack the prototype package and enter the proto directory. Then launch Sage (with the "sage" command) and issue the following commands:
import accel
now you will be able to look at the different waveforms, e.g.
Sage is scriptable in Python. If you know Python, you will find everything familiar, if not - bad luck, you won't get far in Sage.

Joan Rivers officiates at impromptu gay wedding
Comedienne JOAN RIVERS got serious during a recent book signing when she agreed to officiate at an impromptu gay wedding.
The outspoken funnywoman was signing copies of her new tome Diary of a Mad Diva at the Barnes & Noble store in New York City on Monday (30Jun14) when one fan asked, "It says in your book, you're an ordained minister. Can you marry me and my boyfriend?"
According to the New York Post, Rivers instantly agreed and the pair exchanged vows in front of the 400 fans attending the event.
Rivers tells the publication, "Something old was me, and something blue was my legs...It was such a New York thing. It was great."
In the book, the comedienne explains how she has previously officiated at the wedding of her party planner Preston Bailey.

It snowed most of the Wednesday morning in this area. It was fun watching snow and sipping a hot cup of Jeera tea (cumin seeds) [a.k.a jeerige kashaya #kannada]
Watching from inside reminds me of my initial days of stay in the US, living in a company provided apartment, awaiting interview calls, and sipping hot cup of coffee, preparing all sorts of food; eat bread toast + crunchy peanut butter with a full glass of orange juice sitting by the window on 7th or 8th floor watching snow and moving cars.
There used to be mixed emotions:

Today two interesting news happened in Egypt aside from on going saga about cabinet , constitution and Muslim brotherhood's enemies plotting with Martians.
The public prosecutor decided to transport Ousted president Mubarak to Military Maadi hospital for health reasons from Torah prison. The former President currently serving a life sentence in jail for not protecting the protesters in January 25th Revolution fell in his cell at Torah prison earlier this month and suffered some fractures.
After few hours we found out that the public prosecutor suddenly ordered that LE 27,000,000 from Suzanne Thabet's bank account "allegedly secret one" to be confiscated and transferred to the Central Bank Account.
Ironically we suddenly hear the news of LE 27,000,000 that come from Suzanne Thabet's bank account and we do not know if she is facing charges or not.Suzanne Mubarak already officially is off the hook yet Illicit gains authority say that she got them illegally , well why is not she not punished for that !?? The Public prosecutor did not tell us from from where the former first lady got those millions !!
At the same time Mubarak was transferred to Maadi military hospital !!
Personally I believe that Suzanne paid those LE 27,000,000 to the current regime in order to transfer Mubarak to the military hospital , there is no other explanation.

About Domaine Zind Humbrecht
About Domaine Zind Humbrecht
Domaine Zind Humbrecht Facts
The properties of Zenon Humbrecht and Emile Zind merged in 1959 to form Zind-Humbrecht. The domaine now covers 40 hectares in five villages in the Haut-Rhin; its best parcels from four Grand Cru vineyards: Brand, Hengst, Goldert, and Clos St. Urbain on the steep slopes of Rangen. Master of Wine, and vigneron extraordinaire, Olivier Humbrecht, directs operations here. His supremely rich, complex and concentrated wines are controversial owing to their overwhelming power, often considerable residual sugar and flamboyant personalities. But this is one of the world's great producers of white wine, with no corners cut in the vines or winery.
Varietals Produced at Domaine Zind Humbrecht
It's hard to choose a favorite variety here, as Humbrecht excels with Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat and Pinot Blanc. Vendange Tardive wines here are as rich as most producers' Sélection de Grains Nobles. Much of the success here can be attributed to low yields, late harvests, and biodynamic viticulture, which Humbrecht introduced in full in 1998. Depending on quality, between 10,000 and 18,000 cases of wine are produced each year, 75%-85% for export.

Montclair State University announced on July 29 that it will
become the first New Jersey public university to adopt an SAT/ACT test-optional
policy for all applicants seeking undergraduate admission. Effective this fall,
the University will revise its freshman admissions protocol, placing primary
emphasis on an applicant's high school GPA combined with close attention to the
specific courses taken. Submission of SAT and ACT scores will no longer be
required, although the University will consider these scores should a student
choose to submit them. The policy will take effect for the fall 2015 entering
freshman class.
"As we choose each incoming class, our goal is to assure, to
the greatest extent possible, that the students selected for admission are
capable of succeeding in the University's rigorous academic programs," said
Montclair State University President Susan A. Cole.
Montclair State has grown into a large university, admitting
approximately 3,000 freshmen each year from a pool of well over 11,000
applicants. Over the past decade, the University has reviewed its admissions
criteria to determine how the various factors considered in the admissions
process track with student retention, academic success and graduation rates. According
to Dr. Cole, the University has verified that the most powerful predictor of
college success is a student's performance in high school and, in particular,
the high school GPA and the rigor of the courses taken. The University has
found that a student's high school GPA is three times as powerful as the SAT
for demonstrating a student's likely performance at Montclair State.
"In addition to being a better predictor of academic
success, we are certain that the new admissions protocol will better support
our mission of serving a talented and striving student population that reflects
the full socio-economic and ethnic diversity of New Jersey," said Dr. Cole.
"Focusing on an individual student's actual accomplishments in high school, no
matter which community the student grew up in or which high school he or she attended,
will yield a highly diverse freshman class characterized by determination,
ambition and the demonstrated willingness to strive for success in Montclair
State's academically rigorous environment."
The President added that it is the University's view that
standardized tests can have the undesirable effect of disadvantaging capable,
striving students from middle and lower socio-economic backgrounds, many of
whom do not have the benefit of costly preparation courses.
In becoming the first New Jersey public university to make
this change, giving students the option of not submitting SAT and Act scores, Montclair
State joins more than 800 of the nation's leading colleges and universities, a
group that constitutes about 30 percent of the nation's schools that grant
baccalaureate degrees and that includes Temple University, Wake Forest
University, Wesleyan University, University of Arizona and George Mason
"We believe that our revised admissions criteria will ensure
that the University continues to provide motivated young men and women, from
throughout New Jersey and beyond, the outstanding education and opportunities
they need to succeed and lead," Dr. Cole said.

Star-Ledger and The Record.

Maybe this really dates me but I can remember back when a diaper was just a diaper. In fact, being the oldest of six children I distinctly remember my mother dealing with babies before the invention of the disposable diaper--and even when the disposable diaper finally came along how it really didn't do much to help with the messes.
Oh how far we've come. Today's giveaway highlights Grow in Style, a company that specializes in diapers but these diapers are nothing like the grim reminders from the early 70s--these diapers are pretty sweet.
You see pictured here one of Grow in Style's many diaper cakes that come beautifully tiered and decorated, perfect for a baby gift.
They even have cute little smaller diaper cupcakes--which has to be the cutest diaper I've ever seen. They have a good selection of organic products including toys and pacifiers and t-shirts but I also think their little handmade hair clips are a sweet discovery too.
If you'd like a chance to add more diapers to your life you're in luck because this week's giveaway is a $50 gift certificate to Grow in Style and can be used towards any of their online store products.
Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Here's how to win:
Before 12 am Monday morning click here to reach the giveaway entry form then enter your name and email. I will pick one of the names at random, contact the winner via their email and publish the winner's first name and home town in next Tuesday's post. See the bottom of the entry form for more details.
This giveaway is open to all readers so good luck!
This month's Write-Away Contest is the best yet! If you can woo our judge with your post on "First Bike" you could walk away with a gorgeous beach cruiser bike from Just Bicycles.com. The month is short so don't wait too long.

Diabetes Drugs Could Also Help in Weight Loss
Researchers have found two popular diabetes medications — Byetta and Victoza — reduce appetite in patients both with and without the disease, possibly making them viable weight loss drugs.
Currently, the medications are prescribed for type 2 diabetics to help control their blood sugar. But a new research review, published in British Medical Journal, reanalyzed data from 25 separate studies and found the drugs helped overweight people without diabetes lose about 7 pounds and those with diabetes lose about 6 pounds over the course of five months.
"It's not a cure, but it's a good treatment. And you still need to combine it with lifestyle changes," said researcher Tina Vilsboll, MD, DMSc, an endocrinologist and associate professor at Gentofte Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark. She said that the weight loss many of her patients have had while using the medications has helped inspire them to lose even more.
Both drugs work, in part, by slowing the movement of food through the stomach, which can lessen appetites. And while nausea or vomiting may be side effects, Dr. Vilsboll says they gradually diminish over time.
Large studies testing the drugs for weight loss in people without diabetes are ongoing, and until those results are known, some doctors are hesitant to prescribe them for off-label use.
Byetta and Victoza are already known to be associated with uncommon but potentially serious health risks, said Raj Padwal, MD, an associate professor of internal medicine at the Walter C. Mackenzie Health Sciences Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Susan Spratt, MD, an endocrinologist and the director of diabetes services at Duke University Health System in Durham, N.C. said that while the drugs' long-term safety is still unknown, being able to eventually use them to treat obesity "would be a fantastic addition" to a weight-loss arsenal.

We want the logo to incorporate the best friendly, cleanly designed aspects of the "Web 2.0" style, but no "beta" or cheesy reflections please.
The logo should communicate elements of the CauseCup brand: design-focused, environmentally responsible, coffee loving, contemporary, supportive of important causes (environmental, social, etc.) in the world.
We want a logo primarily for web use, but which also may be used print.
- Excellent typography. Logo should be mainly text with a small inline graphic and/or effects. Font should be bold and sans-serif.
- CauseCup should read straight across, and the words 'cause' and 'cup' may appear as CauseCup or causecup and the two words may be differentiated by shading/color or font weight

- Transparent background (mainly used on white background)
- Winning designer will be required to transfer the copyright of the design.
- One possible (but not required) graphic element would be a coffee cup, but if used this must be very simplified, iconic, and unlike clip art style cups.
- Simple (but not too simple) and sleek, "web 2.0" styl
- Anything cluttered
- Graphic elements sprawling too far from the logotype

While I was away on my trip last week, I was both a Genealogist AND a Family Historian. I'm beginning to embrace that there is a difference between the two, even though they are inextricably linked together (think Accountant and Bookkeeper or Doctor and Physician's Assistant.) They are two distinctly different things. One is not better than the other; they are just different activities with different outcomes. I was alternately a Genealogist inbetween bouts of being a Family Historian sprinkled with a healthy dose of Archivist (and I even momentarily channeled my Financial Management self when discussing a stock market issue with someone.)
The OED defines the word 'genealogy' as "...a line of descent traced continuously from an ancestor...(mass noun) the study and tracing of lines of descent...a plant's or animal's line of evolutionary development from earlier forms." I'd really like for everyone to note that last definition, "a plant's or animal's line of evolutionary development from earlier forms." In my small albeit skewed opinion, I believe that the word 'genealogy', along with its grammatical iterations, implies a pseudo-scientific approach. It is simply the tracing of a line back to its origin. [Insert your Charlemagne reference here].
As I sat in the Allen County Public Library, or in some of the Intermediate/Advanced sessions at FGS, I was at different times both Genealogist and Family Historian. While digging through books of Indices attempting to find any hint of a link between my known ancestors and possible ancestors, I was working as a Genealogist. I was seeking evidence that proves that the man who I know as Tobias Bigler was the son of George M. Beighler. Because if you're a Genealogist, you don't go from Tobias Bigler to Urs Graf without proving the connection. It's not snobbery or elitism or an "I'm smarter than you" thing, it's Genealogy by definition. It's not me taking someone's money to do a job, it's me making sure that I don't spend days, weeks, months or even years, researching a family line that's not mine.
You only have to go back to my "Holy Crap!" moment while I was working on my very first genealogical proof argument for my ProGen group to know that I've experienced first hand that rock-in-the-pit-of-your-stomach moment when you realize you've been researching the wrong line for, oh I don't know, about TEN years. And the evidence was staring me in the face the whole time. Here's the document I used from Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio:

I'm in the happy majority of Python commiters that mostly idle except for the scheduled holidays like bug weekends and release alphas, and only awake for the high holidays like PyCon. I'll be speaking again this year and I'll be there for the language summit before and two days of sprinting afterward.
This weekend I stopped researching my talk "Useful Namespaces" and started actually writing slides; the theme is a riff on "Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!" and the first slide is "I monkey patch the shit out of everything." Coincidentally I won't be sprinting 100% on core stdlib this year but will instead be trying to fix up my monkey patches and tests on other projects that haven't yet made it upstream.

Yes, I am aware of this. My question was about the review and how goaltender interference was factored in during the review of a goal.Topper wrote:Interfering with a goaltenders ability to make a save does not need to be a penalty and a disallowed goal. It can simply mean a disallowed goal.
For some reason I ignored my list this morning ...... wow.
And yes, Kerry did sum it up. That was me he was replying to.
But thanks Topper.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything. I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
Couldn't agree more.
