And I've helped a lot of my friends stop harming themselves, because that's just what I do. It's part of my job, one that I've taken upon myself. But I struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts on a day to day. Seems like I wake up, and I say "Can't kill yourself today, got to much shit to do." And it surprises people when they find out. Some just don't flat out believe me. But if anyone on here needs a friend to talk to, hit me up. I'll listen. Hell, I'll be the one to talk if that's what you need. #422 to #103 - swagbot (01/07/2014) [-] Just like comment #9....

Editorial Reviews School Library Journal Gr 7-12-- Grace Hopper's accomplishments are well known to computer experts, but as a pioneer in computer development, the inventor of COBOL, and a brigadier general in the navy, she has much to recommend her as a champion of women's abilities in male-dominated fields. The quality of the life portrayed here is not diminished by some difficult explanations of the workings of the computer systems and the languages Hopper used. Black-and-white photographs, an extensive list of professional activities and awards, and an index complete the volume. Worthwhile reading, as it is one of the few sources that addresses this remarkable woman's achievements. --Ruth K.

Charlene Billings did a great job at writing this book. I liked the way she stuck with only the important events of Grace Hopper¿s life instead of so much details that I know what they had for breakfast on day-to-day bases. She also did an amazing job at making simple, even mundane everyday experiences seem like major life dictators for Grace Hopper¿s future. For me I liked this book because it was short and to the point. I would recommend this book for people who would want an easy read for a school report. It is also great book for people who are interested in Grace Hopper or are just curious about what she contributed to the world of computers, but don¿t want to read an extensive biography of her life. I would not, however, recommend this book for people who want an extensively detailed account of Grace Hopper because they will probably be very disappointed. This is also not a book for someone who is hopping for a lot of details on the computer that Grace Hopper helped build. Was this review helpful?

4	Independent Adoption Center » Michelle Keyes Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:05:48 +0000 en-US hourly 1 Preparing for a Home Study: What You Need to Know Thu, 26 Sep 2013 18:36:39 +0000 Michelle Keyes The first thing to keep in mind when preparing for the home study portion of the adoption process is to realize that we are not trying to exclude or disqualify a family from adopting. We want you to adopt! Homestudy interview Home studies can be easy! Most issues that would disqualify a family from adopting are found before the actual home study through background clearances, physicals, therapist letters, etc during the information gathering stage of the process. If there are concerns with a family’s actual home they are typically fixable, and we can usually give the family that opportunity to correct whatever concern was noted. Things such as smoke detectors not working or medications not being out of reach of a child are easily correctable. If concern is noted with information a family provided during the interviews, we will address those concerns with the family and determine if there is a way to move past them. In some instances, this may require additional classes, trainings, or evaluations, but typically, adoptive families are given the chance to address any concern. It’s also important to understand why there are so many regulations and requirements in a home study. Some of the requirements are agency requirements, based on what they determine to be best practice. Other requirements are determined by the state you live in, and a few are determined by federal law. The reason behind so many different requirements is that, when a family wants to adopt, an agency has to attest that they believe that family will make a good adoptive family and provide a child with a safe, stable and stimulating environment. We have to evaluate every angle and address every concern brought up so that we can be confident when approving a family to adopt. So what do you really need to know about preparing for a home study? • We won’t look under your beds or in your closets (unless there is something suspicious!). • We don’t have a white glove to test for dirt and grime. • You don’t have to have a nursery set up. • You don’t have to baby proof your home. • You don’t have to bake the social worker cookies. • We will be looking for a safe and appropriate space in which to raise a child, including an appropriate room that is designated to become baby’s room. • We will be looking for general safety including appropriate safety concerning bodies of water and fire arms. • We will ensure you are aware of the potential hazards in your home and agree to address them once your child becomes mobile (baby proofing). • We will be testing your smoke detectors during the visit and looking for fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors. • We will be ensuring your hot water will not scald a child and your pets are friendly and vaccinated. • We will be checking to ensure your medications and alcohol are kept out of reach of children and your cleaning chemicals are not stored next to your food. We will also be conducting interviews with you. The number and location of interviews varies from state to state. The interviews are not meant to fool you or catch you off guard. They are to expand on information already provided to the agency and gather more pieces of your social history. The interviews provide the opportunity for the social worker to further assess your reasoning, thoughts, and values about parenting as well as clear up any missing pieces from your paperwork. It’s important to be prepared for the home study process and if you have specific questions, check with your social worker to have those concerns addressed. While the home study is one aspect of the adoption process that is often feared and causes a lot of anxiety, most families will exclaim it’s much easier than they anticipated! ]]> 1 What’s So Important About Positive Adoption Language? Thu, 18 Jul 2013 18:43:54 +0000 Michelle Keyes Positive adoption language (PAL) means more than just being politically correct, or in the know, about adoption language. It really does have deep seated roots and evokes emotions that affect each member of the triad in a different way. However, the overall consensus is that PAL embraces the true spirit of adoption, particularly open adoption, and uplifts the members of the triad, building self-esteem, confidence, and healing. Positive Adoption LanguageCommon adoption terms that are confused are: • Placing your child for adoption VS giving up your child for adoption • Deciding to parent the child VS deciding to keep the child • Birthmother/birthfather VS real parents • Adoptive parents VS not the real parents • My birthson/birthdaughter VS my real or natural-born child Using positive adoption language in your home and around your child will have a positive impact on your child’s self esteem. It is important for your child to know the love, care, and concern that went into their adoption plan. Using simple terms such as, “chose to place for adoption” can convey that care and concern. Negative terms such as, “gave up for adoption,” conveys that there was not much thought that went into the decision. It also implies that there was something wrong with the child and that is why they were “given up.” Typically, we give up things that are bad for us: smoking, drinking, gambling, etc. Children are not “given up for adoption.” The birthparents take painstaking effort to choose the parents they believe will be perfect for their child. There is a lot of love in that process, more than most can imagine. Another common distinction is “keep” the child versus “parenting” the child. It’s not a matter of simply keeping the child. Most birthparents would “keep” the child if that were an option for them, but they want more than that for their child. They want their child to be parented in a manner that will positively benefit their child and, for whatever their reason may be, they don’t feel that parenting is in their or their child’s best interest at the time of birth. Adoptees also need to learn the language involved in their adoption story and be prepared to share that story with others, as questions and explanations are going to be inevitable. Being armed with PAL will provide the adoptees with knowledge and confidence when talking to others about their adoption story. Birthparents benefit from the use of positive adoption language as well. Just as it’s important to use positive adoption language with adoptees to help them understand the care and love that went into their adoption plan, the birthparents also need affirmation that the decision they made was done out of love. Birthparents may not have the support of others in their adoption decision and the language that is used can also affect their self-esteem and feelings surrounding the adoption. Using positive adoption language can help birthparents in the healing process. This will in turn effect their comfort level with embracing their role as a birthparent, both in society and in their birthchild’s life. Adoptive parents can also heal from the adoption experience by using positive adoption language. Adoptive parents are affected by the birthparents’ grief and also need to understand that the birthparents really do entrust their child to them and want their child to be raised in that specific family. Adoptive parents need to have the affirmation that they are their child’s parents. They need to be prepared with the right language to speak with their family, friends, and child. Positive adoption language fills that need. It is important that family members and friends are familiar with positive adoption language. The adopted child could easily ask any one of them about their adoption, or talk with them about their story. If the family member or friend uses terms that are negative, the child will likely internalize that and begin to doubt the truth of their positive adoption story, or feel they did something wrong to be placed for adoption. Since the child’s best interest is at the core of adoption, especially open adoption, it is imperative that they grow up surrounded by positive adoption language. As an adoptive family, is it important to begin getting accustomed to using this language early in your adoption process so that once you do adopt, it will be natural for you. It also gives your family and friends time to hear you use the language, talk about it if everyone is open to discussion, and also gain familiarity and comfort with using the language themselves. Everyone benefits from positive adoption language, or PAL. It’s important to be mindful of how your language affects others, and more specifically, that it does in fact affect every member of the triad, members that all deserve the utmost respect for their part in the process of adoption. ]]> 0 Georgia’s HB-21 Signed Into Law Thu, 09 May 2013 18:00:31 +0000 Michelle Keyes May 6th was an important day in Georgia state law: HB 21 was signed into law by Governor Deal, making post adoption contract agreements legal in the state of Georgia. This endeavor began earlier this year when Representative Mary Margaret Oliver introduced the bill after being approached by Judge Michael Key of Troupe County. There was much controversy in the adoption community over this bill in the beginning. However, after much discussion, research and testimony, it gained acceptance and understanding, passing the House and Senate before becoming law. HB21 Signing Ceremony IAC’s Michelle Keyes at the signing ceremony (2nd to the right of Gov Deal) There are numerous advantages to having legally enforceable post adoption contracts, while the disadvantages are hard to determine. Adding a legal backing to the agreement between adoptive parents and birthparents validates their commitment to each other and helps ensure the genuine commitment to an open adoption plan. Adoptive parents will have peace of mind, knowing the commitment that their child’s birthparents have made and having an outline of what the contact will look like filed with the courts. Birthparents are often skeptical that the adoptive parents they choose will cut them out of their lives after the placement. Having their contact agreement filed in the courts and seen as a legally enforceable contract will solidify the commitment the adoptive parents are making with the birthparents. The children of open adoption are going to benefit knowing that all their parents cared about them and loved them enough to take the time to outline their commitment to each other. Birthparents will likely be more willing to choose Georgia adoptive parents, creating more families in Georgia. In addition, this bill helps validate and protect the work that open adoption agencies perform. In cases where the children are older when placed for adoption, such as when in the care of the State, this new law may make the transition easier for birthparents to relinquish their rights. More birthparents may be willing to make an adoption plan that is in the best interest of their child if they know that they will not lose contact with their child. Representative Oliver is currently working with the Department of Family and Children Services to find the best methods to implement this new law into practice. Within the law, there is room for modification and enforcement. It specifically outlines who may be a party to the agreement, who can request it be altered, and who can request it be enforced. As it currently stands, only the adoptive parents can file a petition seeking modification. In the future, this may be one area that is asked to be altered. The law also outlines that any party, as defined in the bill, may seek enforcement or termination of the contract. Any changes to the post adoption contract agreement must be found to be in the best interest of the child. If the agreement is not followed or is altered, an adoption cannot be overturned. Having a post adoption contract agreement is optional; not all agencies, adoptive parents, and birthparents will choose to engage in this contract. However, if they do, and it’s filed with the courts, it will be legally enforced. You can read the full text of the law here: ]]> 0 How to Find the Right Adoption Match Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:07:18 +0000 Michelle Keyes Most every prospective adoptive parent anxiously waits for their first contact and hopes that the first contact will result in a match and eminent placement. While this has, and does happen, it is more realistic to prepare for multiple contacts before finding the right match. Are you on the adoption journey with the first person you ever dated? Most likely not! Finding the right match is often compared to dating and finding the right partner; when it’s right, you usually know it. Is this the right adoption situation?Unfortunately, you don’t have much control over getting a contact (although networking can increase your chances), but that doesn’t mean that every contact is the right one for you. In the waiting stages of the journey, it can be hard to imagine turning down any potential situation. However, this can be necessary. It is important to be honest with yourself in how you feel about a contact and if it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right. While prospective adoptive families often feel bad about turning away a potential birthmother, if you try to force a match, it will likely fall apart at some point. If she’s not the right match for you, there is likely another family that she is the right match for. Keep in mind that sometimes the right match turns out to be something that you didn’t anticipate and really surprises you. Think about the things that are important to you in a match, things you are open to considering, and things you would not proceed with. Since potential birthmothers will be contacting you, and not vice versa, you will also need to think about what you are flexible on. For example, while you might love to have a contact in your same state, are you open and able to travel to another state? Some things to think about when talking with birthparents: 1. Can you see yourself being friends with this person? 2. Can you see your family and friends welcoming her/him into their circle? 3. Do you share common interests and beliefs? 4. Are you comfortable with the amount of contact she/he is wanting and are you realistically able to agree to it? 5. Are you willing to embrace this potential birthmother’s child, including race, ethnicity, prenatal exposures, mental health history, and physical health history? 6. Are you comfortable letting the birthparents make decisions that are right for them, even if you would choose something different? 7. Are you comfortable, based on the information you know about the birth family and the situation, moving forward? When talking with a potential birthparent, realize that she/he might not know what she/he really wants either. The birthparent might have ideas in mind about what she/he wants, but might not have received education and counseling about open adoption yet. They might not understand what is typical, acceptable, or reasonable. For this reason, it’s important to not dismiss a situation or commit to anything without first consulting with a counselor. Most situations are going to have some details that will need to be worked through with the help of the agency and counselor. Afterwards the situation may end up being more acceptable to you. ]]> 2 Georgia’s HB 21: Post Adoption Contracts Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:40:09 +0000 Michelle Keyes Georgia House Representative Mary Margaret Oliver introduced a bill in February 2013 that would, if passed, make post adoption contract agreements in Georgia legally binding. Her interest in initiating this bill stemmed from Judge Michael Key, out of Troup County, who’s experience in the courts led him to believe this would be beneficial. GA Rep Mary Margaret Oliver GA Rep Mary Margaret Oliver The interest in this bill has been immense, and since it was first introduced, has caused lively discussion in the Georgia adoption community. There have been avid supporters, as well as some staunch opposition. At this stage, HB 21 is in Senate Rules Committee, awaiting approval for a Senate vote. If it passes the Senate, HB 21 will be erected into law. The Independent Adoption Center is an active supporter of HB 21. We believe that having a legally enforceable post adoption contract agreement, also known as open adoption agreements, is favorable to the adoption triad.Research has already proven that open adoptions are in the best interest of the children of adoption and having a legally enforceable post adoption contract agreement solidifies the concept of open adoption. The children of open adoption benefit from having people in their life who care about and love them. They will know the love that went into their adoption plan when they see that their birthparents and adoptive parents cared enough about them to make a plan in writing about having contact for the next 18 years. The birthparents of open adoption benefit from the healing and comfort that ongoing contact often brings. The adoptive parents of open adoption benefit from the comfort and knowledge that their child will have ongoing contact with their birthparents and that the birthparents have agreed to continue that contact. While adoptions are built on trust and honesty, having a legally enforceable post adoption contract agreement will comfort the triad in knowing that loss of contact, without just cause, will not be tolerated. Not only do legally enforceable post adoption contract agreements benefit the triad, they also benefit the agencies, attorneys, and counties that provide adoption services. Agencies such as the Independent Adoption Center, who specialize in open adoption, receive some validation and protection in the work we do. It essentially recognizes the foundation of the work we perform in the eyes of the law. For other entities that work in adoption, and open adoption, this law will also offer them the same benefits. In cases where the county is involved in the adoption, there is a great possibility of increased rewards. If birthparents who have children in the foster system could be given the option of staying in their child’s life, with a guarantee of the law on their side, they would likely be more willing to voluntary terminate their rights rather than having to go through the pains of involuntary terminations, which also affect the children they are trying to protect. In cases in the foster system, this also is logical since the child likely had contact with one or both birthparents prior to removal, and very likely had been having ongoing visitation as their case has progressed in the system. Cutting ties involuntarily and immediately upon birthparent termination could have detrimental affects on the children, as well as on the birthparents. There are currently 26 states that have a similar statute on the books. There is a rising interest on the part of birthparents to choose adoptive families who will be finalizing their adoption in one of these 26 states so they are ensured their best interests are protected. If Georgia signs this bill into law, we will be helping prospective Georgian adoptive families by being able to offer this to their potential birthparents. It is important to know that having a legally enforceable post adoption contract agreement cannot be contingent on placement of a child through adoption. Birthparents cannot be promised contact if they decide to place. It is a separate acknowledgement that comes with the adoption and can be decided on before or after birth. If contact is not upheld, the adoption cannot be overturned. The party that feels the agreement is not being upheld may file a motion in the court to have the agreement reviewed and case heard. If there is just cause for lack of contact, it would be discussed at that time with a judge overseeing the dispute. If the agreement needed amended, it could be done so at that time with the help of the courts, a mediator, agency, or attorney. A judge could also refer the case to mediation before being heard in a court of law. It is also important to note that legally enforceable post adoption contract agreements are optional. If an entity does not want to offer this as part of their services, they do not have to. If any party of the triad does not want to participate in the agreement, one does not have to be done. It is only for those adoption entities and members of the triad that want a legally enforceable post adoption contract agreement. These agreements can even be helpful for a triad that prefers a closed adoption. This could be documented in the agreement and filed with the courts so there is no confusion or claim of a promise of contact that is not being upheld. HB 21, a proposed bill for legally enforceable post adoption contract agreements in Georgia, would offer the citizens of Georgia a great service. It offers protection, healing, and comfort to the adoption triad as well as validation and options to adoption entities. It is hopeful this bill passes the Senate and enacts into Georgia law. ]]> 1 “Mom, Why Don’t I Look Like You?” Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:11:04 +0000 Michelle Keyes Caucasian mother with adopted African American child A single Caucasian mother with her African-American son adopted through the IAC The key to answering any question about adoption from your child is honesty. If your child asks you about where their looks came from, or why they don’t look like you, you’ll want to go back and revisit their adoption story with them. Remind them that they have birthparents and that they likely resemble them more than you. If you have photos of the birthparents, pull them out and compare them to your child. Notice the differences and similarities between them. If you don’t have photos of them, or of only one of them, you can help your child imagine what they might look and what traits they might share. Give your child permission to daydream about their birthparents and acknowledge that they do share the same genetic background. You can also take this opportunity to explore the differences and similarities between your child and the rest of your family. Perhaps you share eye color, or curly hair, or rosy cheeks. Perhaps you share silly talents such as touching your nose with your tongue or wiggling your ears. Or you might even share other interests such as sports, music, or math. Your child is likely trying to find something to connect them to you since they know they are not genetically connected. ]]> 4 Using Positive Adoption Language Wed, 01 Dec 2010 17:38:31 +0000 Michelle Keyes Just as with everything else these days, there are “PC” terms to use in the adoption world. While it may seem insignificant, the words you use when referring to your child’s adoption will greatly affect their self-esteem and self-image. Your child/ren will learn to speak about their adoption based on the words they hear you using, so it’s important to use the correct terms from the beginning. It’s also important to talk to your friends and family about positive adoption language so they will know the correct terms to use as well. This will help them not only be good examples for your child, but will also put their minds at ease as to what the correct terms are to use. It can also take away any uncomfortable feelings they might have when talking to you and your family about adoption. Some examples of positive adoption language are using the word “place” instead of “give up” when referring to your child’s birthparent’s choice to make an adoption plan. You usually “give up” things that are bad-you give up smoking, drinking, gambling, etc. Using that term could make your child think they are bad and that’s why they were “given up”. If instead you use “placed for adoption”, it acknowledges the loving, thoughtful choice that the birthparents made to find the perfect family for their child. Some other terms to keep in mind are: “parenting” vs. “keeping”; “birthmother” and “birthfather” vs. “real parents”; and “adoptee” vs. “adopted child”. ]]> 5 Talking to Children About Adoption – Part 4 of 4 Sat, 20 Nov 2010 00:05:27 +0000 Michelle Keyes If you are adopting and have other children, either biologically or through adoption, you will need to prepare them for the arrival of a sibling through adoption. If your other child/ren is/are adopted, this is going to bring up questions about their own birth and adoption story. It’s going to be a good opportunity to talk about things that perhaps haven’t been discussed in a while. You also will need to think about and possibly discuss how this next adoption may look very different than theirs. The contact with birthfamilies is likely to be different in these adoptions and if the subsequent adoption has more contact then the earlier one, this may be a hard thing for your child to understand. Be prepared to answer your child’s questions and allow them to grieve the loss of contact. If your previous child/ren is a result of a biological birth, you’re going to need to prepare your child for the way an adoption works. They will need to learn about different ways families are formed and explore with them how you will be welcoming another family into yours. There are also children’s books about this subject that can provide easy conversation starters. In either scenario, it’s imperative that your child be involved in the process of the adoption, while still being protected from realities that they may not yet understand. For example, the wait in an adoption can be long (at the IAC, the average wait is 6-18 months) and a young child doesn’t yet have the concept of time or of waiting. While you want to prepare your child for an eventual placement and explore what being a big brother or sister is all about, you don’t want to allow your child to think this is something that is going to happen immediately. Once you are matched with a potential birthmother, you can begin to make more plans and allow your child to become more involved. They will likely meet the birthmother and birthfamily and be a part of the match process. However, as is the reality of adoption, even though she has chosen your family to adopt her unborn child, she has to make that choice yet again when it comes time to sign the relinquishments. One way to prepare your child for this and for the possibility that she may not place is to explain that she has chosen your family to care for her child until she decides if she can. Once she has signed and the revocation period is over, you can talk to your child about the permanency of the placement. If she does choose to parent, your child (and you) will likely be hurt and disappointed, but you will both be better prepared knowing that you were helping her while she needed time to decide what’s best for her and her child. ]]> 1 Talking to Children About Adoption – Part 3 of 4 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 00:29:49 +0000 Michelle Keyes If your child’s birthparents close off contact at some point, it’s important to let your child know that they are always welcome back. Let them know that their birthparents still have your phone number or address and if you’ve moved, that you’ve provided the agency with your new information so they can get it when they are ready. Even if you’ve had to establish some boundaries with the birthparents, you likely haven’t said, “Don’t visit”, you’ve more likely said, “When you are ready/able/stable, you are welcome to visit again”. Your child should have all the information about their adoption story before they are 12. You don’t necessarily have to tell them every single detail in adult language by that time, but there shouldn’t be any surprises after that age. Once children are teenagers, they have a wide range of emotions and trust issues. If they learn new alarming information regarding their story, they may misinterpret it, embody it, or not believe you. You will need to continue to process their adoption story over and over again as they age and mature. What satisfied them when they were 3 is not going to satisfy them when they are 5, 8, 12, etc. Giving your child the power to decide whom to share their adoption story with is very empowering. Not everyone needs to know they were adopted. Let them decide whom to share with and you may be surprised by their choices. It’s important to teach your child the difference between secrets and private matters as well. Secrets can often be bad, whereas private matters are just things that are not shared with everyone. For example, the cashier at Wal-Mart doesn’t need to know your whole adoption story if you do not want to share it, so that’s a private matter. There’s nothing wrong with keeping things private and you are proud to share their story with those people who are important in your lives, but you needn’t be pressured to indulge curious onlookers. To be continued… ]]> 6 Talking to Children About Adoption – Part 2 of 4 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 23:32:22 +0000 Michelle Keyes When talking to your child about their adoption story and you are discussing the circumstances around the placement, be honest with your child, but keep it age appropriate. Again, try to incorporate examples from every day life to make it easier to understand. For example, if your child’s birthmother was young, you could use an example of a young neighbor or cousin and talk about how “Amy is still living at home with her parents. She goes to school, has homework, is on the cheerleading squad, etc. Could you imagine her trying to raise you right now?” That’s going to make more sense to your child than just saying “She was too young to take care of you”. Your child is going to also realize that if she was young when she had him/her, she’s not young anymore and could possibly care for him/her now. It’s important to stress the permanency of adoption and that she knew it was a forever decision then and was, and still is, happy with her decision. If ongoing contact is part of your adoption, this is only going to be reinforced through visits and contact. If financial burden was part of your child’s adoption story, it’s ok to share that with your child, but don’t over emphasize it because the next time you tell your child you can’t afford something, they could begin to worry that you cannot afford to care for them and they may be placed for adoption again. It’s important to bring up the subject of your child’s adoption periodically, especially if it’s not something they do on their own. It doesn’t have to be made into a big discussion, but a simple thought said aloud, perhaps wondering what their birthparents are doing now or commenting that your child is especially gifted in a certain area and perhaps they share that trait with their birthmother/father. Bringing up the subject is going to give your child permission to bring it up. It will let your child know they can talk to you about their adoption story and ask you questions. It’s also important to let your child know that you cared and continue to care for their birthparents. This is going to give your child permission to care for or love their birthparents and birthfamily. Some children may be afraid of hurting you by loving them, so it’s important to allow them to acknowledge how they feel. It’s also important for both parents (if you are a two-parent household) to bring up the subject with your child. It’s going to be natural for your child to come to one of you over the other for different subjects (math homework, sports, friends, etc) and that’s ok. However, it’s important for your child to know that they can talk to either one of you, even if they prefer to always come to one of you. To be continued… ]]> 2

Verizon first got the Pearl 8130 earlier in the year and now will have the Curve 8330 on May 9th. “Turns out the Glyde’s gonna have to share the spotlight a bit when it launches early next month. The Curve 8330 has been confirmed by our sources for a May 9 release through Verizon’s B2B, web, and telesales channels, followed by a May 12 launch in “all channels” (which we assume means you’ll be able to walk into any old store and grab one). It’ll go for $319.99 before $50 rebate on a two-year contract, ranging all the way up to $439.99 if you have no interest in signing your name on the dotted line. ‘Course, Sprint told us point-blank that it’d be launching the Curve in April and that didn’t exactly pan out, so we recommend exercising some restraint here until your jaded heart actually spies it on Verizon’s site — or better yet, on a store shelf.” Engadget Mobile About the Author: No Comments » No comments yet.

4	United States Department of Defense United States Department of Defense American Forces Press ServiceBookmark and Share News Article U.S. Increasing Operations in Gulf of Guinea By Donna Miles American Forces Press Service WASHINGTON, July 5, 2006 – The U.S. military is stepping up operations in the Gulf of Guinea to enhance security in this strategic and resource-rich region, the commander of U.S. European Command's naval surface combatant warships told the Pentagon Channel. The goal is to build long-term relationships that promote greater security and stability in the region, Rowden explained. The focus is on helping African nations increase their naval capabilities, with help from the United States, he said. Toward that end, the submarine tender USS Emory S. Land recently wrapped up a three-month deployment to the region, where its crew conducted a series of security cooperation activities. The deployment included port visits to Senegal, Sao Tome and Principe, Gabon, Ghana, Angola, and the Republic of the Congo. U.S. Navy training teams helped their West African counterparts increase their capabilities in damage control and ship maintenance. They provided survey teams to help develop more accurate navigational charts. They also helped the African navies build leadership within the ranks and strengthen their noncommissioned officer corps. Meanwhile, U.S. Navy leaders met with senior navy leaders from more than 20 African countries in Nigeria during the late May Seapower for Africa Symposium to encourage them to work cooperatively to promote regional security. "No single country can do it alone, including my own," Adm. Henry G. "Harry" Ulrich III, commander of Naval Forces Europe, which has operational control of operations in most of Africa, told the group. The USS Land's deployment and maritime symposium were the latest in a series of engagements that Rowden said are building important new relationships in the Gulf of Guinea. "One of the important things we need to realize about operating in Africa is that the personal relationships are absolutely vital in order to be able to begin to understand how we can best assist them in building that maritime capacity and capability," he said. The African sailors have "tremendously" received the U.S. sailors, Rowden said. "There's no better ambassador for the United States of America than the sailor of the United States Navy," he said. "I was absolutely blown away by their ability to go out and make friends and the willingness on their part to give." Contact Author Adm. Henry G.

Never Say Goodbye and Crossroads [Secure eReader] eBook by Irene Hannon eBook Category: Romance/Romance eBook Description: "Never say goodbye": A tragic accident had destroyed Scott Mitchell's perfect world. His sin had cost him his child, his freedom--and the love and trust of his wife, Jess. After prison Scott was a changed man, but would his faith be enough to heal Jess's shattered heart and gain her forgiveness? "Crossroads": Summoned to the school principal's office, single mom Tess Lockwood was surprised to find a handsome man behind the desk. Cop turned educator Mitch Jackson wanted to help--and began to believe that Tess might be God's way of teaching him to love again. eBook Publisher: Harlequin/Steeple Hill, Published: 2008 Fictionwise Release Date: January 2008 2 Reader Ratings: Great Good OK Poor Chapter One Three years. Three long, lonely years. Three years without freedom. Three years without the woman he loved. Three years of hell. And now they were over. Scott Mitchell turned and took one last look at the bleak gray walls of the high-security prison where he'd spent the past three years of his life. Where he'd reached such depths of despair that he'd seriously considered suicide. Where he'd spent agonizing hours reliving the tragic accident that had taken the lives of two innocent people. Where he'd lain awake night after night yearning for the tender touch and sheltering arms of the woman he loved…tormented by the knowledge that she never wanted to see him again. Where he'd finally found something to cling to in a long-neglected interest in horticulture, a hobby that became a passion and offered a temporary escape from the drab walls to a world of color and beauty and new life. Where he'd acknowledged his mistakes and straightened out his priorities. And most important, where he'd slowly, one tentative step at a time, rebuilt his faith and reconnected with his God. Scott drew a deep, cleansing breath as he stared at the hellish place that, ironically enough, had put him back on the road to heaven. But it had been a harsh, brutal journey. The abrupt transition from power lunches to prisoner, from a world where individual rights reigned supreme to a world where no rights existed had been harrowing. He'd been stripped of his dignity, reduced to a number, looked upon with contempt. He'd lost everything he ever cared about—and that didn't mean the designer suits or sports cars or country-club membership he'd once valued so highly. No, the loss was much more basic than that—the people he loved and his freedom. Dear God, how he'd missed those two things, which he'd always taken so much for granted! But never again, he vowed. He was a different man now, with solid priorities and two very clear goals. First, he intended to make his faith the guiding force in his life. Second, he intended to win back the heart of the only woman he'd ever loved. The first would be easy. The second would take a miracle. But Scott believed in miracles. He couldn't have survived these past three years without one. Yet winning back Jess's love would take a miracle greater even than survival. He knew that. But with the Lord's guidance and grace, he believed it was possible. It had to be. Because on a spiritual level, he needed her forgiveness and love to complete his redemption. And on a very basic human level, he simply needed her. And so he closed his eyes for a moment and prayed silently. Dear Lord, show me the way to prove that I've changed, that my remorse is real and that I'm worthy of her love. Please give me the courage to persevere and steady me when I stumble. Don't let me lose heart if success is elusive. Help me remember that You are with me always, even on my darkest days, and that with You by my side, anything is possible. And then, with one last look at the forbidding walls, he stepped out of prison and into a new life. * * * Today was the day. The man who had killed her daughter was free. Jess Mitchell drew a long, unsteady breath and involuntarily tightened her grip on the coffee mug. Scott…her husband…the man she had once loved with all her heart…was free. And she hated him, with every fiber of her being. He'd destroyed their marriage and robbed her of the child of her heart, cutting short a life that had barely begun—as well as the life of a respected judge who'd died behind the wheel of the other car. That, too, had been a tragic loss, for he had been a man of principle and honor, a crusader for justice who had earned a reputation for integrity and courage. As far as Jess was concerned, Scott deserved to rot in prison for the rest of his life. Her hands suddenly began to shake and she carefully set the mug down, the taste of bitterness sharp on her tongue as she struggled to control a surge of anger—the same anger that had been her constant companion in the months following Elizabeth's death. Gradually a dull numbness had taken its place, insulating her from pain and allowing her to better cope with the world around her. But now the anger was back, and with it the raw pain. Reaching out an unsteady hand toward the small glass-topped table in her breakfast nook, Jess shakily lowered herself into a chair. The February day was cold but bright, and a shaft of early-morning sun beamed through the skylight, illuminating the single daffodil in the bud vase in front of her. Gently she reached over and touched the delicate petals, so lovely but so fragile. There was something inspiring about daffodils, she thought with a bittersweet pang. The first harbingers of spring, they bloomed gloriously despite the risk of frost, announcing to those grown weary of the long, dark days of winter that the world would soon be warm and bright again. Perhaps that was why she had chosen this blossom for her table, she reflected. To give her courage to get through this difficult day. Jess forced herself to take a deep, calming breath, thankful that at least she could once again find pleasure in the beauty of nature. She'd always loved flowers, and she was grateful that her work as public relations manager at the botanical garden gave her a ready supply. But today, even the exquisite beauty of this favorite flower couldn't dispel her gloom or the inexplicable sense of apprehension that filled her with a restless anxiety.

Customs and regulations. Taxes and duties vary from country to country, as do inspection requirements and documentation. Conducting local market research determines the financial implications of procuring particular components in different countries. Public relations. Moving project cargo on shared roads often raises public safety and environmental concerns. Even the slightest perception that communities will be impacted deserves attention. An open dialog among all parties involved can help assuage potential PR problems before they flare up. Cargo design. Transportation can sometimes dictate how a product is manufactured—for example, whether it is delivered as one unit or produced in multiple parts and assembled on-site. Project cargo buyers can conduct transportation analysis and create routings before equipment is even sourced or manufactured. Mode optimization. Transit times and requirements vary widely for road, rail, air, ocean, or inland barge. Transportation specialists with in-country knowledge can advise on length, width, height, and weight restrictions that may necessitate using one mode of transportation over another. Change orders and delivery timelines. Any changes or delays in material sourcing plans or production and delivery can produce unintended consequences. Changing sourcing locations can increase lead times and transportation costs, for example. Shippers and service providers need to plan for potential problems and build flexibility into the project cargo move.

3	Lenasia wife held after murder 2012-11-13 16:38 Johannesburg - A woman was arrested on Tuesday after the body of a 46-year-old man, believed to be her husband, was found in Lenasia, south of Johannesburg, Gauteng police said. Warrant Officer Kay Makhubela said police received information on Monday night that the 47-year-old woman and her neighbours killed and buried her husband on 7 October. "Police followed up on the information and the woman confessed and showed police where the shallow grave was. The grave was dug up and the body of a man was found. It was taken to the state mortuary. It is alleged that he was beaten up and killed before he was taken to an open space, where he was buried in a shallow grave." Two men, aged 23 and 36, and two other women, aged 29 and 34, were also arrested on Tuesday. The motive for the killing was not known. "The man had injuries to his head and body, but the post mortem would establish the cause of death." The five people were expected to appear in Protea Magistrate's Court soon.

4	Wolfgang Nyvelt billabong.com There aren't many things as highly coveted as the 16 invite spots to Red Bull Ultra Natural, which enters its holding period on February 15. Half of the field was filled by the top eight finishers at last year's Red Bull Supernatural event, but unfortunately, one of those competitors has been forced to withdraw due to injury. Japan's Kazuhiro Kokubo (pictured above) finished in sixth place at the inaugural event in 2012 and was very much looking forward to returning to Baldface in 2013. Much to everyone's disappointment, Kazu suffered an injury recently and has bowed out of Red Bull Ultra Natural competition; we wish him the best and look forward to his return to snow soon. Austria's Wolfgang Nyvelt has been tapped as his replacement; the 2008 TransWorld SNOWboarding Riders' Poll Rider of the Year also surfs and skates, but it's his all-around snowboarding skills that have earned him a formidable reputation. Nyvelt had actually received an invite to Baldface in 2012 but had to withdraw due to injury himself, so he'll finally have the chance to shred the creative Red Bull Ultra Natural course now in 2013. Red Bull Ultra Natural runs from February 15-21. It will air on NBC as part of the Red Bull Signature Series on March 30 at 1:30 p.m. ET / 10:30 a.m. PT.

4	Weekly Poll What do you think of daylight saving time? November 04, 2008 3:01 am Powell landfill options are slim Written by Tribune Staff Trucking trash to Cody seen as only choice The message from recent landfill planning is that unless Park County wants to truck its waste to Casper, there are few viable options on the table — and it's going to be expensive. “It's essentially one alternative,” said consultant Myra Peak at a Thursday landfill meeting. That choice is to bring all of the county's garbage to a lined landfill in Cody. However, building a lined cell in Cody would mean a significant increase in costs. Currently, the landfills of Park County charge $60 for every ton of waste dumped. Based on numbers run by Richard Thiel, a solid waste engineer, that cost could double, and will almost certainly rise. “Nothing we do is going to beat $80 a ton,” said county landfill Manager Dave Hoffert. “At absolute worst — if we do everything wrong — it's going to be $120.” If those numbers hold true, it would likely mean a $3 to $8 increase for Powell residents' monthly garbage bills. That would not include the increased cost of transporting the trash to Cody. The changes are the result of Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality policy that essentially mandates that all landfills in the state be lined. The goal is to stop any contaminated liquids (leachate) from leaking into surrounding soil and groundwater. In the past, it was believed that the state's climate was too dry for leachate. “Then some fool lined a landfill and it filled up with leachate. And we can't say that anymore,” Hoffert said. The DEQ is providing funds for landfills to work together and plan their long-term futures. Park County, with five waste sites, Powell, Cody, Meeteetse, Clark and Crandall, qualified as a work group. Commissioner Jill Shockley Siggins said that if the state wants landfills lined they should be prepared to help pay for it. The state has an emergency landfill fund set aside for natural catastrophes, such as an earthquake. Siggins said the price hike for residents should qualify as such a crisis. “Isn't this pretty catastrophic?” she asked. “That's a lot of money to be going to the citizens and saying, ‘pay up.'” Part of the cost of building the lined site in Cody is the expense of getting the money for construction. The state provides loans with low 2-percent interest for landfill projects, but Siggins said the state's surpluses are such that it should be providing money, not loaning it. “There's no reason to be borrowing money when we (as a state) have it,” she said. Lining the Powell landfill would be a much more expensive endeavor than Cody's. The Powell site is now permitted by the DEQ to run through August of 2010. To stay fully open past that date, the DEQ has indicated that the facility must get a liner — basically, a one-eighth inch thick plastic tarp. However, the liner requirement only applies to municipal solid waste — the “wet garbage” that comes from residences, restaurants, and businesses. The landfill receives about 6,200 tons of municipal solid waste each year. The Powell site would likely still accept construction and demolition materials, even after “closure.” Construction and other dry waste, made up of things like sheet rock and furniture, accounts for roughly 4,000 tons a year of Powell's annual 10,200 ton total. Additionally, things like grass clippings, petroleum-contaminated soil, and animal carcasses, could also still be accepted. Thiel said it is possible to install a liner in Powell. “The punch-line is, it's a very expensive landfill to develop,” he said. In particular, the rockier geology makes it a tough site to dig and further develop. Hoffert said it wouldn't make sense to have Powell operate on its own with a liner. “Powell has a lot lower volume. As you decrease your volume, you lose your economy of scale,” he said. The economy of scale plays a big role in the cost. Hoffert said each 1,000 tons you add cuts roughly $5.50 from the per-ton cost. Thiel's numbers say lining Powell just for itself would require charging $202 a ton over the next 25 years at the landfill gate — more than triple the current rate. Assuming all other factors remain constant, that would translate to a $20 a month increase on Powell residential garbage bills. The current rate — which includes recycling and collection charges — is around $22.60. Peak said the landfills in Billings and Worland have both said that they will not take Park County's waste. That leaves the only other real option as trucking the waste all the way to Casper. Thiel said that option would not require any upfront borrowing, but would make the county dependent on gas prices and Casper's fees. Additionally, the numbers say that would be a higher per ton cost. If Powell's waste is to be trucked to Cody, Powell sanitation superintendent Darrell Rood said it may be necessary to construct a transfer station. It would temporarily house and collect trash. Rood sees problems with the city directly trucking its collections to Cody. “I can see where we're going to have a lot of partial loads,” he said. “I don't think that would ever fly.” Rood said he currently deals with partial loads, but with the Powell landfill only five or so miles away, “Now it's not a big deal.”

4	SHOULD solar energy shining down on crops be considered an energy expenditure when figuring the net energy gain of producing ethanol from corn? Most reasonable people would say no. But others with close ties to the oil industry think differently. Take, for example, anti-biotechnology researcher David Pimentel and Tad Patzek, a former employee of Shell Oil and paid consultant to Shell and Chevron. Patzek and Pimentel recently teamed up to produce a study on the net energy balance of ethanol. Gaining considerable national attention, the study alleges ethanol production requires more energy than the resulting ethanol fuel contains. Despite a wealth of research to the contrary, Pimentel has repeatedly made this same assertion in the past. To set the record straight, the National Corn Growers Association has compiled information that questions Pimentel's and Patzek's credibility as well as the oil industry's influence on these studies. Meanwhile, numerous government and university studies demonstrate ethanol's positive energy balance. To read the NCGA report, visit

Wright is to direct a revival production of "Trelawney of the Wells" by Arthur Wing Pinero, which is set to officially open on Feb. 25. The Donmar's season is also to feature an all-female staging of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," starring Harriet Walter and directed by Phyllida Lloyd; and a revival of Conor McPherson's "The Weir." The new season, beginning this fall, was organized by the company's new artistic director, Josie Rourke, who took over from Michael Grandage last year. Grandage's staging of "Red" by John Logan is currently running at the Mark Taper Forum and is set to close on Sunday. The production, starring Alfred Molina as Mark Rothko, originated at the Donmar in 2009. Wright's new movie, "Anna Karenina," starring frequent collaborator Keira Knightley, is set to open in the U.S. in November. His other film directorial credits include "The Soloist," based on a series of columns by Steve Lopez of the L.A. Times, about his relationship with Nathaniel Ayers, a homeless musician.

Paris Jackson was "physically fine and is getting appropriate medical attention," attorney Perry Sanders Jr., said in a statement Wednesday. All fire and sheriff's officials would say is that they transported someone from a home on Paris' suburban Calabasas street in the middle of the night for a possible overdose. They did not release any identifying information or additional details. "Being a sensitive 15-year-old is difficult no matter who you are," said Sanders, who represents Katherine Jackson, a guardian of Paris and Michael Jackson's two sons, Prince and Blanket. "It is especially difficult when you lose the person closest to you." Paris' uncles Tito, Marlon and Jackie echoed that sentiment in their statement Wednesday: "Thank you for the outpouring of concern and support for Paris — she is safe and doing fine. We truly appreciate you respecting our family's privacy at this time." On Tuesday, Paris hinted at her state of mind on Twitter, posting, "I wonder why tears are salty?" followed by lyrics from the Beatles' song "Yesterday": "yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay." Since Michael Jackson's death in 2009, Paris has emerged as the most visible of his children, granting interviews to Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres, appearing in magazine articles and amassing more than a million followers on Twitter. She has also expressed interest in starting a singing career and has plans to star in a movie. A 20-minute video of the teen applying makeup was posted to YouTube last week. It shows Jackson in what she describes as her bedroom playfully demonstrating how she does her eye makeup. She also makes goofy faces and says, "I need serious help. I'm crazy!" Paris wrote on Twitter that she doesn't know how the video, in which she repeatedly asserts, "I am so weird," ended up on YouTube. Katherine Jackson shares guardianship of her son's three children with the singer's nephew, TJ Jackson. Paris and Prince are listed as plaintiffs in a lawsuit filed by their grandmother Katherine Jackson against concert giant AEG Live LLC, who she claims is responsible for her son's death. The lawsuit claims AEG failed to properly investigate the doctor convicted of causing the singer's death, and pushed the superstar to rehearse and perform a planned series of 50 comeback shows titled "This Is It." Marvin S. Putnam, a defence attorney for AEG Live, joined in the family's calls for privacy. "There's a real person involved here," Putnam said. "There's a 15-year-old girl and something incredibly tragic has happened that none of us know why and I think it would really be in everyone's best interest and particularly in her best interest if rather than blowing this up into something else, that they were given a little bit of privacy to deal with something that has to be a tragic, tragic moment for all of them." "She's 15," he said. "Someone should give her a break." Click here to report a typo or error The Canadian Press © The Canadian Press, 2014 We've improved our comment system. Add a new comment.

Today it was formally announced that the Wildcats were admitted to the East Coast Conference. Daemen had been a member of the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) since the mid-1980s but looked to make the jump to the NCAA at the Division II level to better fit with the needs of its student-athletes. Accpeted by the NCAA, Daemen enters a three-year process to become a full Division II member. The next two academic years are candidacy years followed by a third transitional year. If all goes well, Daemen will be a full member of both the NCAA and the East Coast Conference, including being eligible for championships, for the 2015-16 season. To provide its student-athletes with championship opportunities while undergoing the provisional process, Daemen will compete for the next two seasons in United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA). Daemen brings the ECC up to 11 members schools along with the University of Bridgeport (Conn.), University of the District of Columbia, Dowling College (Oakdale, N.Y.), LIU Post (Brookville, N.Y.), Mercy College (Dobbs Ferry, N.Y.), Molloy College (Rockville Center, N.Y.), New York Institute of Technology, Queens Colelge, Roberts Wesleyan College and St. Thomas Aquinas College (Sparkill, N.Y.) --- Amy Moritz comments powered by Disqus About Campus Watch Bob Dicesare Bob DiCesare @TBNDicesare \| Rodney McKissic Rodney McKissic @RodneyMcKissic \| Amy Moritz Amy Moritz @amymoritz \|

4	Printer Friendly Version BellaOnline's Investing Editor Investing is a Waiting Game Being a trader requires a mindset where your attention span is fleeting as, like a buttefly, you flitter from trade to trade. However, being an investor requires a totally different mindset. You have to actually think and try to figure out where things will be in the future. The most difficult thing for an investor to learn is patience. Sometimes you may have to wait for years for something to occur which you know should and will occur. Look at the dot.com bubble. People who did not put money into these stocks were told they were "out of it" and that they just "did not get it". The traders told them that new technology had changed the rules of the game forever. Now that the internet was here, the sky was the limit. You could pay anything for an internet stock because it would grow, like Jack's beanstalk, to the sky. But then that fairy tale hit reality. Companies providing free services on the internet turned out to be worth no more than people paid for their services. And the internet bubble blew up in January 2000. But investors had been forced to endure three years of being laughed at before proven to be right. The dot.com traders finally "got" it and they got it good. And then there was, of course, the housing bubble. Once again, investors were forced to endure three years of being laughed at again because they did not "get" it. After all, who didn't know that house prices in the United States always go higher. Like Jack's beanstalk..... But then the housing bubble burst in 2007 and the believers in fairy tales "got" it again. What are investors waiting for now? For the next bubble - the US bond market - to burst. Again, it will probably take several years of enduring derision of not "getting" it. The weavers of fairy tales on Wall Street have created another wonderful delusion. This time it's a scary tale..... It's a tale of monster called deflation. Deflation as in Japan...nevermind that the demographics in Japan are nothing like those in the United States. It's a tale of a declining economy and oh my gawd - falling prices! Nerermind that the only falling prices are prices of assets, like houses, that were priced at bubble levels. Even the US government's own distorted measure, the CPI - consumer price index - shows no scary deflation monster. Over the past 10 years, the CPI is up 29%. It is only down 0.6% from its record high and yet that is being called deflation. Yes, and it is such scary deflation that the Federal Reserve must keep rates near zero and everyone must purchase bonds to protect themselves against deflation. Patience, investors. This bubble will eventually burst and bond holders will "get" what they deserve. Investing Site @ BellaOnline View This Article in Regular Layout Content copyright © 2013 by Tony Daltorio.

RDF Schema graphs as background knowledge ... exchanging N3-like rules (triples in the head) ... refer to external RDF graph using dataset mechanism, import as RIF facts using RDF(S) semantics ... extend vocabulary of datasets to support RDF <josb> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2007May/0077.html josb: embedding ISO proposed earlier (URI above) ... specification still volatile, depends on sort mechanism which will be removed ... embedding will become simpler ... exchanging N3-like rules ... depends on how you identify what kind of rules sent over wire - depends on vocabulary - issues with embedding ... blank nodes in the head ... also depends on sort mechanism - need to rethink when that's removed Axel: N3 is a placeholder for simple rule languages? josb: yes Axel: N3 has some specific issues Christian: N3 is partial demonstration, but doesn't really impact RIF except with blank nodes ... but RDF as background knowledge has impact on content and implementation of Core josb: only impact if background knowledge is used Christian: Core does require metadata import? josb: proposal on how to implement, not requirements Christian: related to proposal on datasets? josb: yes - may require that everyone implement RDF datasets <AxelPolleres> I assume that what jos writes here, equally goes for SPARQL CONSTRUCTS, Jena Rules, etc. DaveReynolds: bNodes in head and builtins, e.g. isBNode ... requirements on Core <Harold> DaveR, BNodes in the head correspond to existentials in the head, which goes beyond Horn. Christian: what would be required for implementations that don't already implement RDF? ... does RIF Core require implementing RDF? <AxelPolleres> We go into the same issue as last time, right? function symbols are another example... DaveReynolds: Charter requires mapping from RIF Core to RDF ... requires solution Christian: depends on how core is core discussion ... is there a way to express these specific builtins beyond RDF? DaveReynolds: some concepts (e.g. language tags) are more generic <PaulVincent> But isn't RDF another datatype like XSD/XML? So any dependancies on this should be abstracted out of Core-is-core? <Harold> BNodes in the head goes beyond Horn, removing function symbols goes below Horn. DaveReynolds for Jos: can we just import datatype entailment rules? Jos: agree completely Christian: semantics of RDF would be implemented by RIF rules? <AxelPolleres> Not all RDF entailment rules can be written as RIF (CORE) rules, e.g. the 'map' entailment rule (ie. renaming bnodes preserves entailment), cannot really written down as a rule in the sense of RIF, right? Christian: sufficient for implementations that don't support RDF? josb: depends on entailment regime used ... identify rules in spec ... simple for translator to insert rules in ruleset Christian: is it enough to just implement this way of using RDF ... does not impact definition of Core ^definition^current definition axel: not all RDF rules can be written as Core rules ... e.g. renaming bNodes ... ESWC paper gave minimal set of entailment rules for several subsets of RDF(S) <Harold> ESWC'07 paper: Sergio Muñoz, Jorge Pérez and Claudio Gutierrez (four U’s in Chile): Minimal Deductive Systems for RDF . axel: OK for most use cases <AxelPolleres> Graph: _:a p o. <Harold> <http://www.eswc2007.org/pdf/eswc07-munoz.pdf> ACTION (Axel): send example <AxelPolleres> entails _:b p o. <AxelPolleres> how could this be expressed? <Harold> Introduces rho-df = {sp, sc, type, dom, range} semantics/complexity. Christian: no reason Core must cover all of RDF ... just have to show it is compatible <DaveReynolds> Axel: simple entailment handled by the query, you do want you rule system to generate an infinite number of renamings <DaveReynolds> s/do/do not/ !! Christian: don't have to exchange any RDF rule - may use dialect <Harold> I propose to focus on the rho-df subset of RDFS. <josb> _:a p o is embedded as Exists ?x[p-> o], and skolemized when doing reasoning <DaveReynolds> Harold: I disagree Christian: what can be abstracted from RDF data model <AxelPolleres> Dave: completely agree, we also do not want the infinite axiomatic triples to be generated by an implementation, <AxelPolleres> ... for being compatible. <josb> if you want to check entailment of _:b p o, then query ?x[p-> o] <AxelPolleres> I just wanted to make clear that we should clearly state that this 'usually' doesn't matter and have some discussion on whether/where this is indeed true. Christian: what changes does this proposal require to Core document? <Harold> DaveR, with "focus" I mean users who do domain modeling with RDFS should be encouraged to see if the rho-df subset is all they need. <DaveReynolds> Harold: it is not josb: changes to Architecture document, don't require changes to Core <Harold> DaveR, Can you explain here, or off-line? <AxelPolleres> Just to make clear again: I see no "problem" at all with jos' proposal, just, if we propose a set of rdf rules for emulating RDF(S) we should make clear what is covered and what not! <josb> Everything is covered! <Harold> The Core is Horn, so has no existentials in the head. DaveReynolds: need to represent node types with builtins: Resource, typed literals, plain literals with language, bNode ... SPARQL builtins useful but may not be required ... Core document doesn't list specific builtins ... assuming rif:iri is close enough to Resource ... questions about literals and (rigid) head bNodes josb: identifying bNodes is an issue for N3 rules ... not entirely sure DaveReynolds: how about bNodes in facts? josb: possibility DaveReynolds: could have bNode as datatype josb: possibility Christian: what needs to be changed about IRI to accommodate Resources? ... don't want to focus on IRIs pending resolution on sorts ACTION (DaveReynolds): summarize RDF requirements on current Core josb: email discussion between Dave and Michael on modules ... both identified this as important issue <PaulaP> +1 to supporting modules and discuss this issue further <josb> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rif-wg/2007Jun/0066.html Production Rules in Core PaulVincent: main requirement is that Core expression language maps onto condition and action parts ... accommodate actions not just assertions ... set handling using rule variables - should be handled by generic sets in Core Christian: related to pattern matching and unification ... but Hassan is not here today ... what makes a PR? PaulVincent: pattern matching is side-effect of using RETE Christian: deeper than pragmatic? ... every fact implicit MarkProctor: modern RETE allow matching over a variety of sources - could be derived value or function call ... not just patterns over asserted entries in working memory ... stuff outside working memory can be unified with items in working memory Christian: question more related to logic variables ... example related to lists <csma> p(z) :- q(list(x,list(y,z))) <csma> q((a b c d)) Christian: how to translate this into production rules MarkProctor: unification somewhat simpler in PR ... have to simulate this Christian: is this intrinsic to PRs MarkProctor: RETE can do this, will include in next release, not aware of other implementations <Harold> Mark, do you have a package of production rules to simulate unification? <markproctor> not at at the moment <markproctor> we are releasing 4.0 in 2 weeks Christian: 2 main issues with PR and Core ... relation between atom in head and actions <markproctor> after that building a full hybridge engine, with prolog style unification and proofing is our main task. <markproctor> so we won't have anything for a few months. Christian: translation of unifification to pattern matching <Harold> But you'll have unification 'built into' your release 4.0 instead of just simulating it? <markproctor> to get a PR system to simulate it now, its kinda messy. <markproctor> not prolog style unification. <markproctor> just Rete pattern matching and joins. <csma> forall ?l:list, ?l2{?l.tail()}, z{?l2.tail()}, if Q(?l) then P(z) <Harold> Well, an explicit 'unify' function would already be helpful. <markproctor> best thing to do is provide me simple prolog examples <markproctor> and I'll try and translate the unification process. <markproctor> but it'll take me a while to do, i.e. can't do it off the top of my head. <Harold> OK, let's look into this (even without explicit action item). Christian: is there a general translation to Core? PaulVincent: not acceptable to require complex transformations - should have closer mapping Christian: is common core mapping possible? if not, change definition of core <Harold> Christian, why did you rename your earlier variables x and y (but keep z)? <markproctor> my prolog/proofing experience knowledge is kinda new, so I'm a bit behind you guys with that side of things ;) Christian: PR to Core is not a problem, since unification is more powerful than pattern matching ... LP to PR is a problem PaulVincent: secondary issue - research topic ... far more likely to want to handle PR in logic Christian: compliance doesn't necessarily require symmetry MarkProctor: PR can be extended to handle logic, but doesn't come out of the box ... look at modern PR systems Christian: simple way to exchange rules that produce the same results? MarkProctor: don't seem commercial demand for bi-directional interchange ... but definitely doable with some work <Harold> Christian, Mark, how would you do both of these, even for facts only? Rulebase: knows(John John). Query: Exists ?x knows(?x ?x). As well as: Rulebase: Forall ?x knows(?x ?x). Query: knows(John John). MarkProctor: some vendors have started with background and then moved to forward ... for performance ... but direct translation also typically has performance problems discussing Harold's example Harold: non-ground facts in PR may be a problem - all free variables are universal <markproctor> Harold: I can take those away, and try and convert. will take me a while to work out. <markproctor> what do you mean by "ground facts" Christian: can discuss via email <markproctor> typically PR systems don't understand the usage of ariety to create records of data <markproctor> you have "ordered facts" but thats just a list, the order has no real meaning. <markproctor> this is why Jess has to use naming conventions, to drive backward chaining, it doesn't support ariety. <Harold> I mean facts such as knows(John John) not containing (universally interpreted) variables. <markproctor> useless is a bit of a strong word :) <markproctor> its more we have limited resources, we should probably focus on mainstream real world uses. Christian: would like to hear someone argue in favor of interchange symmetry ... any takers on action? <Harold> Prolog can also has non-ground facts such as knows(?x ?x) containing (universally interpreted) variables. <markproctor> ah so Ground is a record, un-grounded has a variable for search/unification? Sandro: some use cases (e.g. vocabulary mapping) implementable in LP Christian: interested in other direction, sending PR to LP ... leave question pending <AxelPolleres> have to think about it, honestly. <Harold> Mark, the non-groundness is inside the rulebase (not just the queries). <josb> +1 <PaulaP> +1 Christian: meeting adjourned <JeffP> +1 <PaulaP> bye <markproctor> Harold: I'll go read up on that. <markproctor> if people want to send me some simple prolog rules, I can recreate in existing PR languages. <markproctor> but the result is messy I think. <markproctor> but it did seem the end result is no one is interested... <markproctor> although might be worth while, just to help with understanding.... <csma> zakim who is on the phone? <Harold> Yes, Mark, prolog rules in PR and PR rules in prolog should help with mutual understanding between both communities.

4	Snowy morning triggers nine traffic accidents Posted: Friday, December 10, 2004 Thursday morning's snowy commute didn't seriously injure anyone, but it kept police busy. Police responded to nine accidents with at least some damage between 7:51 and 10:17 a.m. Lt. Walt Boman said the number of accidents was higher than he could remember this season, and most of the incidents were clearly weather-related. It's troubling because there is always the potential for more serious consequences, Boman noted. "If someone slides into a guardrail and bounces back into traffic, they are at the mercy of other drivers," he said. With temperatures warming during the day, the commute home was less eventful. Sgt. David Wrightson said police were investigating just one report from the afternoon. Apparently a car slid off Davis Road, a side street in the Lemon Creek area, he said. Most of the morning accidents police reported were on Egan Drive, which can't be avoided by people driving downtown from the Mendenhall Valley or Lemon Creek areas. Police reported: • At 7:51 a.m. on inbound Egan in the Twin Lakes area, a 17-year-old boy was driving a 1992 Honda Civic that reportedly struck a 1991 Plymouth, driven by a 50-year-old woman. • At 8:09 a.m. on inbound Egan in the Twin Lakes area, a 30-year-old woman was driving a 1996 Honda that collided with a 1985 Ford truck, driven by a 54-year-old man. The woman was cited on a speeding violation. • At 8:24 a.m. on inbound Egan near Norway Point, a 1991 Ford Explorer, driven by a 41-year-old woman from Petersburg was reported in the ditch. • At 8:40 a.m. on inbound Egan near Sunny Point, a 50-year-old woman reportedly lost control of the vehicle she was driving and left the roadway. • At 8:48 a.m. on inbound Egan near Willoughby Avenue, a 2001 Ford, driven by a 34-year-old woman, reportedly collided with a 1985 Mercedes, driven by a 52-year-old man. • At 8:53 a.m. on inbound Egan near Yandukin Drive, 17-year-old boy driving a 1995 GMC Jimmy reportedly lost control, causing the vehicle to leave the road. • At 8:54 a.m. in the 9000 block of Mendenhall Loop Road, a 1990 Plymouth, driven by a 33-year-old woman, reportedly slid into a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban, driven by a 35-year-old woman. Police cited the driver of the Plymouth on charges of driving without a license and carrying no proof of insurance. • At 9:07 a.m. on inbound Egan and Channel Vista, a 1988 Ford, driven by a 25-year-old woman, reportedly stuck a 2004 Subaru Legacy, driven by a 33-year-old man. Police cited the woman on charges of careless driving and carrying no proof of insurance. • At 10:17 a.m. on Glacier Highway and Jordan Avenue, a 1995 Chevrolet, driven by an 80-year-old man, reportedly slid into a 1991 Mazda, driven a a 32-year-old man. A Dodge Neon, driven by a 37-year-old man, also was reported damaged in the accident. Police cited the driver of the Chevrolet on a charge of failing to yield. Boman said it is more than just a good idea to consider slowing down when conditions are bad. Even a driver driving below the posted speed can get a speeding ticket if conditions are poor. "The operator of the vehicle is required to consider road conditions and weather conditions and operate with due care," he said. Experience in dealing with adverse situations is another factor, he said. Parents may consider that some mornings it's best for younger drivers to take the bus or get a ride to school. Everybody should check the conditions in the morning and give themselves more time to get where they're going, he added. "It's winter in Alaska," he said. • Switchboard: 907-586-3740 • Circulation and Delivery: 907-523-2295 • Newsroom Fax: 907-586-3028 • Business Fax: 907-586-9097 • Accounts Receivable: 907-523-2270 • View the Staff Directory • or Send feedback

Murphy, who enlisted in the U.S. Navy straight out of high school, attended Great Lakes, Ill., for boot camp in August 2011 and completed A School Training in Pensacola, Fla., in January. A survival equipment member assigned for the next three years at the Astugi, Japan, duty station, she currently serves as an airman VCR-30-Det. 5 Unit 25532 on the George Washington. In recognizing this sailor from Lewiston, the GW Flyer reported the following: "Since checking onboard with VRC-30 only six months ago, PRAN Meahgan Murphy has been a dynamo of limitless drive and constantly faces each new challenge with a professional and positive 'can-do' attitude. She has already finished qualifications for flight deck familiarization, brake rider, oil consumption, fuel surveillance, corrosion control apprentice, multiple ground support equipment licenses, ground and afloat C-2A plane captain, ordnance handling team member, and is hard at work on her EAWS qualification. PRAN Murphy's unselfish and hard-charging demeanor is one of the reasons for the detachment's continued success and demonstrates why she is highly deserving of recognition as the 'GW/CVW5 Sailor of the Day.'

The Cumberland County freeholder sent nude photos of himself earlier this year to a woman he met online, only to discover the photos have surfaced on a GOP activist's website. Update: Cumberland County freeholder Louis Magazzu plans to resign CUMBERLAND COUNTY — A New Jersey politician is under fire for sending a woman nude photos of himself that have shown up on a GOP activist's website. A lawyer for Cumberland County freeholder Louis Magazzu said today that the 53-year-old Democrat sent the photos to a woman with whom he had an online-only relationship. He says they weren't intended for anyone else. Magazzu is weighing his options in trying to get them removed from the website as calls have come in for his resignation. Attorney Rocco Cipparone says Magazzu sent the photos sometime around January. He's been separated from his wife for about two years.

I'm thinking in 5 years, 16nm flash will be a reality. Couple that with 4-6bit MLC and we'll have fash, cheap, reliable storage media. Dvds will be a thing of the past. All our media will be consumed in a proprietary SD format. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By xRyanCat on 4/28/2009 11:16:13 PM , Rating: 2 But... Flash is more expensive then current conventional disc mediums, including Blu-Ray, and it will likely stay that way for quite a while. I believe downloads and streaming will likely replace a lot of physical media in the next 10 years. Until then, discs have proven cheap and reliable and won't be going anywhere in 5 years. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By FITCamaro on 4/29/2009 8:21:38 AM , Rating: 3 There's also the "its mine" factor. A digital download I can't touch. A movie on a disc or flash card I can. I prefer physically having something to not. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By Mitch101 on 4/29/2009 9:50:37 AM , Rating: 4 Yup I heard about halogram optical storage breakthroughs 4-5 years ago yet the tech is still not available on any consumer grade level. If there is one thing I have learned from SED/OLED is dont get excited over news about breakthroughs and even if it could be available there are attorneys and patent disputes which will further delay innovation. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By invidious on 4/29/2009 3:04:02 PM , Rating: 2 I agree 100% on the not getting excited for the scientific breakthroughs. Like you said new ideas and concepts usually take a decade or so to become products. By then the demand might be gone or something else could beat them to it. But I think what you would have heard about 4-5 years ago was the scientific breakthorough of discovering halographic storage or perhaps a proof of concept. This article however implies that they are far beyond that, that they have a functional disc. If their claims that it uses technology that is similar to current optical drives then this might not be more than a few years away from consumer use. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By Alexstarfire on 4/30/2009 5:59:03 AM , Rating: 2 Not sure what he read, but what I read about 4-5 years ago was a prototype, not some theoretical process. It did read at a slower than a snail crawling in molasses rate of 3 kb/s on a disc that stored more than even top of the line Blu-Rays discs we can purchase today. It was not yet practical by any means. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By CascadingDarkness on 4/30/2009 10:25:03 AM , Rating: 2 I second that to an extent. Not because I really need to caress my game discs. Steam and others have made huge improvements. It's easy to pull down all the games I use after a format, but the day Steam some how dies, if I can't get copies of those games, I'm coming after someone. That is why I ran out to get a physical copy of Empire Total War. Not because Best Buy grants me the USS Constitution (though that is a bonus). RE: Flash pwns this stuff By invidious on 4/29/2009 3:11:28 PM , Rating: 3 Yes, cost will be in optical disc's favor for the near future for sure. This is mainly because of the optical disc's passive nature. The disc itself doesnt do anything, it is acted upon. A flash drive has to have a controller inside of it. This makes the flash drive prone to ESD and water damage. While an optical disc is only vulnerable to heat and physical damage, of which the flash drives are also vulnerable to, though to a much lesser extent with phyiscal damage. So for the same size you could have the cheaper optical disc or the more expensive and easier to damage flash drive. I am not saying the flash drive is the "wrong" choice, but it definately it not without its drawbacks. Optical is going to continue to have a market. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By Avitar on 4/30/2009 5:21:38 PM , Rating: 2 Ever hear of the Next Computer? Steve Jobs developed it after the suits bounced him out of Apple to put "professional" management in place in the 1980's. (Of course now he owns the suits ) He centered the Next Computer around network communications because he believed back then as you do now. Networks have never developed with the speed he expected and the one useful thing about the Next Computer is that it was the development platform for the World Wide Web and the first web pages in 1992. The behavior of businesspersons is just wrong for a network centric system, there will always be someone trying to game the system, illegally or legally, for advantage. Even within enterprises you find that linking documents to data slows systems because the management decisions cut the per person IT expenditure by $10 dollars per year will slow the network response time from ten second to an hour. Until we have multiple fiber optic based ISP competing for the business of providing Network connections for households and businesses the business models will always cause the MBA to short change the network user, because they can get away with it. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By rippleyaliens on 4/28/2009 11:37:16 PM , Rating: 2 Flash may indeed pwn this, BUT, once again, Flash still has problems. With the big one, being capacity, and a smaller one being size. YAH that is the right order. 500GB on a CD size= AWESOME archive capability. Some people kinda like to have this thing called a BACKUP.. AND a write once media = a good solution. when flash is available at 500gb, at a cost of under $1, then yah flash pwn them all, until then other media will and always be needed. Downloading movies from internet, as in streaming is cool and all, but myself, i still like to be able to like STOP, put in a different movie, and continue one. Internet delivery cannot do that yet. With talk of isp's capping their download, you can count me out of that one. Flash is fast, RAM DRIVES make flash drives look like hard drives, of yesteryear.. NOW THAT IS POWER!!!!!. Flash drives are just the next logical step. Getting there, but at a pace, that is just reasonable, will take 3-4 years, before we see ssd drives take over hard drives in sales.. BUT SPACE the final frontier, SSD's will be a long time until that happens. BUT holo dvds, whatever, will mean even higher density movies. Quad HD anyone.. im looking forward to this. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By Hacp on 4/29/2009 2:17:23 AM , Rating: 2 I'm sure they'll be able to develop a write once flash chip that'll be cheap. The big advantage I'm seeing is in size. Would have rather have a slightly lower quality 50gb movie in the size of an SD card, or a super HD movie on a CD thats 10x the size and 100x easier to break. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By HueyD on 4/29/2009 8:40:44 AM , Rating: 2 How does 1 - 2TB on a SD card sound....coming soon. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By afkrotch on 4/29/2009 11:44:35 AM , Rating: 2 Umm....SDXC increases the maximum capacity, doesn't mean it'll come at that capacity. SDHC has a max capacity of 32 GB. They came out in 2006 and we didn't see the first 32 GB card until Spring 2008. I wouldn't expect a 1 - 2 TB SDXC until late 2010-early 2011. If not even later. RE: Flash pwns this stuff By HueyD on 4/29/2009 11:52:20 AM , Rating: 2 I agree, it will probably not be this year, but I don't expect hologram storage to be out this year either. If SDXC works and media becomes available (and affordable), hologram storage will be too little, too late. My opinion :) RE: Flash pwns this stuff By afkrotch on 4/29/2009 12:12:56 PM , Rating: 2 I can't imagine these hologram storages ever coming out. They've been sitting on the back burner so long, while all your major players are screwing around with multiple layer BDs. I'm thinking we'll see a 1 TB SDXC before we'd see the hologram disc or a 500 GB BD. Course the SDXC would be well out of an average person's budget. I'm thinking when it does come out, it'll be in the $2-3k price range.

RE: Flash pwns this stuff By Samus on 4/29/2009 3:39:48 AM , Rating: 2 im sure their capacity takes into account error correction, much like other optical (or any storage) formats. they leave a decent amount of headroom, usually 10-12% for CRC you'd need a pretty strategically placed scratch to lose data. furthermore, reading into how this technology works, the error correction might even be better than conventional optical media since the laser carrier is triaxis (conventional laser carriers are single-plane) and tilts the laser to focus around lower holographic layers in order to reach data stored in layers above. unfortunately ge is close-lip about what this means to data integrity but i'd guess it means the laser can work around surface scratches from an angle.

4	Search By PriceSearch By TypeSearch By Location Guesthouses & Indekos Guesthouses offer an attractive alternative to the more traditional methods of housing for expats. While apartments, townhouses, and single family homes all have their pros and cons, many single expats and couples alike are looking into and choosing a guesthouse for both short and long term stays. A guesthouse is roughly the Indonesian equivalent to a bed a breakfast. Usually the guesthouse is in a renovated large older Indonesian home where some of the family bedrooms or a new wing of the house are turned into fully furnished guestrooms. Accommodations include breakfast in a shared dining room. Guesthouse Facilities Guesthouses vary widely in the facilities that they offer, so don’t assume they’re all the same. Better guesthouses offer full facilities which could include: fully furnished rooms, en suite bathrooms, telephones in each guest’s room, television with cable TV, ensuite refrigerator, air conditioning, and coffee / tea making facilities in the bedroom and/or breakfast area. Internet Wi Fi may be provided as well with paid, limited, or unlimited usage for guests. Each guesthouse offers a range of services, depending on their management and policies. Some are just strictly bed and breakfast and you’re left on your own for all other services. At the high end of the spectrum, the better guesthouses offer the equivalent of full hotel services. In these full-service guesthouses, rooms are cleaned daily by housekeeping staff, just like at a hotel. Most guesthouses offer laundry services for a set fee. Some even offer the usage of a fully equipped shared kitchen for those guests who enjoy cooking. Some guesthouses even offer an on-site Coffee Shop with beverages, light meals, and snacks. Ask about other food/beverage options and the availability of neighboring restaurants when you inquire about a guesthouse’s services. Security Concerns Be sure that the guesthouse has a strict security policy, and enquire about their on-site security staffing as well as if they have closed-circuit TV for monitoring the residence. What benefits can guesthouse living offer me? The primary benefits of staying in this type of accommodation, as opposed to renting an apartment, is the cost factor. When you rent a house/apartment you have all the additional utility/running costs of electricity bills, water bills, household staff/cleaning service, laundry, garbage collection, internet, security staff, etc. Of equal benefit is the fact that guesthouse stays can be shorter in term, with no need to sign multi-year contracts or pay large sums of rent money up front. Guesthouses residents enjoy the flexibility of moving in and knowing exactly what their monthly accommodation cost will be Also guests don’t have to worry about purchasing furniture and other furnishings, as you would have when you furnish a household. Of equal benefit will be the small community of residents in the house. Living in a home-like environment makes it easier to practice Bahasa Indonesia and get to know other people in a more relaxed situation. Many expats also make friends with the other residents of the house. Some companies hold corporate accounts with guesthouses, as they recognize the flexible benefits for their corporate guests and their employees. Indonesian Indekos “Kos” (Indonesian Bed and Breakfast) An Indonesian indekos is a big step down from a guesthouse, as normally the facilities are very minimal. This is the preferred housing for much of the low-salaried office staff who aren’t able to reside with their families. It often consists of a row of small rooms and a shared bathroom at the rear or side of a house. However, some nicer kos can provide an excellent option for a lower income expat English teacher, volunteer worker or someone studying on a fellowship in Indonesia.
3	jueves, 4 de octubre de 2012 Mario Mareno Reyes was the sixth son of 15 children, who became a world-wide cinema super star, was married to the same woman for 30 years. He was known as Cantinflas. There are two stories about how he chose that name. One story is that his family regarded show business as less than respectable, and so he changed his name in order to avoid bringing shame upon them. The other is that, at one of his first nightclub engagements, a heckler taunted him with, "En la cantina, tu inflas!" For some reason, this taunt amused him, and he shortened it into Cantinflas. Cantinflas began his career when he was 16 years old, as a song-and-dance man in "carpas," He was also a circus clown, His early films include "No Te Enganes Corazon/Don't Deceive Yourself, My Heart" (1936) and "El Signo de la Muerte/Sign of Death" (1939), but it was "Ahi Esta el Detalle/There Is the Detail" (1940), which began his reign as the Spanish-speaking world's most popular comic. His characters defended the weak, touched our hearts, and had a problem keeping their pants up. Charlie Chaplin himself, upon seeing the work of his younger Mexican colleague, called him "the greatest comedian in the world." One of Cantinflas' trademarks was his rapid talk as he outsmarted In his honor, the Spanish Academy created a verb, cantinflear, the meaning of which is to talk rapidly, yet what you're saying doesn't make any sense. By the mid-50s his fame from films including "Un Dia con el Diablo/A Day with the Devil" (1945) and "El Bombero Atomico/ Instead, Cantinflas returned home to Mexico, continuing his collaboration with director Miguel M. Delgado which had begun in 1942 with "El Gendarme Desconocido/The Unknown Policeman". Cantinflas spent much of the 1980s involved in philanthropic work, especially for the benefit of children Cantinflas, who died a multi-millionaire at the age of 83, never forgot where he came from. Much of his money was given over to charitable work. His adopted son, Mario Arturo Moreno Ivanova, a graduate of Betty Ford Clinic, was once wed to a former Miss Guanajuato, who wrote a tell-all book about their marriage. After his father's death, Moreno Ivanova became involved in a twelve-year, multiple-party struggle over the rights to the Cantinflas films. It is sad that the son did not share his father's sense of irony, as when he made the pithy comment: "El mundo debería reír más. Pero después de haber comido." (The world should laugh more. But after having eaten.) -- Cantinflas viernes, 28 de septiembre de 2012 My Job Hi, Ignacio!

4	The Uses of the Periphery – Slum Tourism September 26, 2009 by and tagged , When I was in Kenya last Spring, my guide took me to Kibera, at my request, but I did not take photos. I did take photos of Lusaka Kanyama Area when I was visiting with an NGO through which I sponsor kids. I am highly ambivalent about slum tourism. On the one hand, yes, it is a source of business (in which case, it should be more than £20 a pop and there should be direct contributions to projects) in areas that otherwise survive mostly on informal economy and illegal trafficking. On the other hand, poverty is not a spectacle and the people living in these quarters are trapped there by poverty. And yes, if you’re European, it is impressive in a horrific kind of way. But let’s face it: we go spend 2 weeks in nice resorts, attended to by locals at our beck and call. And then, we spend a couple of hours in the slum for the authenticity. And we cough up a little money (a drop compared to the cost of a safari) to take care of the white guilt and pretend we made a difference. Posted in Poverty, Social Inequalities \| 2 Comments » 2 Responses to “The Uses of the Periphery – Slum Tourism” 1. Dangger Says: I had a similar feeling when I was in Rio: They offer tours that are “beneficial to the community” and “not voyeuristic at all.” I didn’t take the tour but I do remember being very ambivalent about it. I guess a lot depends on the meaning and purpose one puts into it. On the other hand, I’m wondering how the community feels about this, and what are the specific benefits for them. • SocProf Says: @Dangger, I know how you feel. As a sociologist, I want to see this stuff and I want pictures to share with my students who have no idea how most of the world lives. But then, slum people are people, not illustrations of global poverty so that I can make a point, especially without their consent. That’s why I was not really offended when I went to visit a Masai village in Amboseli, Kenya, and it was clear that tourists were treated as a source of money and nothing else. It’s only fair, in my view. Leave a Reply

4	Troy Onink Troy Onink, Contributor I write about financial planning to pay for college. Personal Finance 5/27/2011 @ 3:13PM \|12,876 views College Admissions and Affordability: Good and Bad Advice I have cited various examples of bad college advice related to college admissions, financial aid eligibility, affordability and saving for college throughout this blog (here, here andhere) , and this time I am going to compare the impact of good and bad college advice on a student’s real-world college admissions options, and the colleges she and her family can afford. I will use for my example a young lady from Ohio that is a senior in high school and wants to attend college as an engineering major. I will take you, and her, inside the world of college planning by focusing on four key areas. The Four Key Components of College Planning College admissions, financial aid, “tax aid” and the personal resources that families have to pay for college costs are the four key components in determining what I call, Your Best Strategy®. We can simplify the complex world of college planning by focusing on those four components, and simplification is very important because all of those areas are interconnected; change one and you can change them all, and they are all subject to different sets of rules for different situations, and at different colleges. But wait, what could be so hard? She has good grades and test scores. Just pick five or six universities with well-known engineering programs, apply for financial aid, and make sure you don’t save in her name. If you did save in her name, then you should move the savings into an annuity so that she will qualify for more financial aid. That may be common advice, but not necessarily good advice. Take a look at the basic demographic, financial and academic information of the student and her family below, and let’s dive in. Important note: While this example uses a family income of $90,000, many students from households with income of even $200,000 are qualifying for need-based aid these days because the sticker prices of some colleges have climbed north of $55,000 per year. And that “aid eligible” income level goes up even higher if the parents have two or more children enrolled in expensive colleges at the same time. So this example may apply to you even though your income is above $90,000 per year. Of course your assets are counted in aid eligibility too. Household size 3; Parent’s adjusted gross income $90,000; Parent’s savings and investments (non-retirement) $100,000; Parent’s home equity $125,000; Student’s income $0; Student’s savings and investments $20,000; Grade point average (unweighted) 3.7; ACT score 32 The Bad Advice To help pay for their daughter’s education the parents are pledging $55,000 of their $110,000 in savings and investments, and $800 per month from their income. Due to bad advice however, the parents are moving their daughter’s $20,000 in savings into an annuity, because they were told they should not have saved in her name for financial aid purposes. You complete the FAFSA, submit it, and the data from the FAFSA goes into a formula (federal methodology) that determines the student’s expected family contribution (EFC). EFC is the minimum amount the family is expected to contribute toward the cost of college. The colleges then subtract the student’s EFC from their cost of attendance (COA; total cost for everything), to determine if a student demonstrates a need for financial aid. Cost of attendance – expected family contribution = need based aid eligibility. By stashing the daughter’s money in an annuity (a type of insurance contract) it will not be counted on the FAFSA (federal aid form), thus “hiding” the asset from being reported on the federal aid form and lowering the amount the family is expected to contribute (EFC) toward the cost of college from $22,398 per year to $18,398; thereby increasing the student’s aid eligibility $4,000 per year. Notice I said the student’s “aid eligibility” increases by $4,000 per year, not the student’s actual aid award. However, the daughter’s $20,000 will not be available for funding her college costs because if you stash an asset in an annuity (a type of insurance contract), you don’t want to cash it during college or the distribution from the annuity will need to be reported the following year on the aid form, and the strategy will backfire because her aid eligibility will go back down in subsequent years. True, the student’s aid eligibility will be $4,000 higher by putting her $20,000 savings account assets into an annuity, at least when using the FAFSA aid application and the federal methodology for calculating EFC. The primary downside, however, is that the $20,000 will not be available to pay her college costs; only the parent’s $55,000 in assets and $800 per month from their income, and although her aid eligibility increased, there is no guarantee at most colleges and universities that she will receive an additional $4,000 in aid per year, or what type of aid it will be: Grants, scholarships, work-study or loans.

The headline says that things are “brutal” and “awful” since the Aol merger, so naturally we expected some lurid details, but there aren’t any. In fact, the entire article seems to boil down to this: HuffPo employees are whining about things that always happen when two big companies merge. There’s really not much more to it than that. And the article even admits that several times. After quoting a HuffPo person saying that Aol brought in a “weird corporate culture,” the piece then adds that this isn’t that surprising given that Aol is a giant corporation. Then a HuffPo employee bitches that they got stiffed when the office was restructured, but that’s immediately followed by another “insider” offering a perfectly good explanation as to why that happened. The article doesn’t really say anything. And even when it tries to, it then refutes those claims. If you feel like getting a headache this morning, go ahead and read it. Headaches can be fun!

4	Home › Marketing › Strategies Gary Stein Notes on the Convergence \| May 14, 2010 \| Comments I'm in Germany this week - the corporate entity that I'm a small part of is gathering, and I have the opportunity to speak a bit about media convergence. This is the text (roughly) of the talk I am going to give. Henry Jenkins, the author and leading thinker, in an act of absolute bravery, attempted to define "convergence." Here's what he came up with: "[Convergence is] the flow of content across multiple media platforms, the cooperation between multiple media industries and the migratory behavior of media audiences who will go almost anywhere in search of the kinds of entertainment experiences they want." This represents the most complete definition of a term that we've used for years, but often at only the most basic levels. But Henry has given us a cornerstone upon which we can start trying to build some plans, products, strategies, and solutions, and we owe him a debt of gratitude. But, we also owe him some closer examination, because he's talking about us here, and we should ensure that we're good with what's he cooked up. There are three big players in this definition: media platforms (and those who create and market them), media industries, and media audiences. Let's start with the platforms. The absolute truth is that the next generation of television sets that will soon arrive in stores and in homes will connect to the Internet. Many do already, thanks to set-top boxes, gaming systems, and network-able Blu-ray players. This is the big upgrade that I made this year to my own home and I'm totally blown away by it. The experience of browsing a catalog of movies from the Internet, clicking a button, and having it stream (wirelessly!) to the TV is pure magic. It's one of those things that I know how it works, but remain amazed that it works. Add to players like Hulu, Boxee, and SkyFire, and we find a very different media space compared to five years ago. The convergence of platforms, I dare say, is complete. Good work, platform owners! The next item in our list is media industries. More specifically, Henry is calling for the "cooperation between multiple media industries." That, unfortunately, is not going so well. Thanks to Herculean efforts on the part of companies like Roku (a platform owner), we are able to get content from a good number of providers. But, let's be honest here: the ability to stream on-demand movies from Netflix is nearly overshadowed by the absolute crap choices it provides. The catalog is throttled by a complex set of ownership rights that seem nearly unbreakable. Anyone who streams a movie from Netflix suddenly finds those red envelopes an annoying anachronism. Media owners, you have a long way to go. How about those media consumers? They remain the lifeblood of this thing, and it has become crystal clear that they are in fact willing to go anywhere to get content. In fact, many of them have absolutely no problem circumventing the frustrations of the media owners. Lots of very reasonable people, who would never take anything from an actual store without paying for it make daily visits to BitTorrent sites to download movies, which - let us be brutally honest - is stealing. There is a feeling of justification, though, for many of these media consumers because, simply, they don't see other options, because the media owners can't sort out a model that makes sense to them. There is, though, one more point in this definition of convergence that we have been working on, and that is the wonderful phrase "migratory behavior." Maybe Henry is simply turning a phrase and using migratory as a synonym for move, but really migration is much more than that. It is movement to a more suitable environment. That is, this is movement to gain some benefit. And, more specifically, no animal migrates alone. They migrate in packs. And that is ultimately what is different and new about this well-worn word, "convergence." Now we get to have people moving into a media space with their herd. It's why people want to not only get Netflix on their television, but also YouTube and - most importantly - Facebook and Twitter. People want to surround their content with their people. They want to tell the world what they like and hear back more suggestions. They want to know immediately if something is worth investing their time in. The converged consumer is coming, and she is not coming alone. As marketers, we are in a wonderful and unique position, with regards to convergence, because we can finally begin to think beyond just plopping some bit of content on one device or another. Rather, now that we really have all three players - media platforms, media owners, and media consumers - in the same space, we can let them interact, grow, and create something that we never would have predicted.

4	Take the 2-minute tour × I followed the steps letter by letter in this post... Gnome 3.2 problems in the shell However I have come to a problem that I don't know how to solve... It is saying that package build has failed and it could not process the .deb file. I would like to install this as it increases performance of Unity. I have an ATi Mobility HD4250 Graphics Card. I also have been using the drivers that came out of the box with Unity, didn't install the ones from the Additional Drivers list.. my terminal Now after all of that, it says it can't open the driver installer. enter image description here Ok now with this new driver installed, everything appears to be choppy... It didn't do that with the drivers that came in Unity. I thought these were supposed to be an improvement? share\|improve this question Now that I see it, its a different driver. Do I want to go with 11.12 or 12.1? – Jordan Jan 29 '12 at 20:24 2 Answers 2 up vote 2 down vote accepted You are missing some packages to be able to build your drivers, please install them before trying to rebuild the drivers again. Open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install build-essential cdbs fakeroot dh-make debhelper debconf libstdc++6 dkms libqtgui4 wget execstack libelfg0 dh-modaliases After these are installed you can then execute sh ./amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/oneiric to build the packages and sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb to install them. Please make sure that any old version of the drivers is already removed from the system sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh will remove any previous installed versions at the moment in your system, dont worry if they give faults, just move on. For a complete step by step guide on how to remove / revert / install the AMD driver visit this post share\|improve this answer How would I be able to check if I have any drivers still installed? I did the step from the previous question before anything. – Jordan Jan 29 '12 at 20:11 I meant I did the very first step in the last question where to remove all the fglrx drivers installed. Is that good enough? – Jordan Jan 29 '12 at 20:15 Edited to include steps (also its also part of the post I linked) to remove the driver. Btw, what card do you have? – Bruno Pereira Jan 29 '12 at 20:18 That explains it, you can choose the 11-12 or the 12-1, does not matter they are both good, just make sure that the correct file is downloaded and the executable bit is set. Have a look at the Official ATI binaries from the ATI site section of the linked post. – Bruno Pereira Jan 29 '12 at 20:29 use sudo rm filename to remove files you cannot delete with your user. Do it one by one, all of the files newly created + the ones you downloaded. be extra careful once you rm one file that is gone for ever. Or as an option you can open a nautilus windows with sudo privileges using gksudo nautilus, navigate to the files and just press delete, they will go to the trash. – Bruno Pereira Jan 30 '12 at 20:19 I think you might find this thread useful "I tried having the installer install directly as you suggested (sh ati-driver-installer-11-6-x86.x86_64.run) and it seems it's worked fine!

4	City to bring back officers to enforce parking November 9, 2013 By Sam Shawver ( , The Marietta Times Now, in an effort to generate more revenue to keep the lots repaired, council plans to increase the number of monthly rental spaces in city lots as well as hire a couple of part-time officers to enforce parking regulations. "The leased spaces rent for $25 a month, and we would assign a fund into which that money would be placed to pay for lot repairs and the enforcement officers," said Councilman Harley Noland, D-at large, and chairman of council's lands, buildings and parks committee. Currently leased spaces are only available in the city's Parking Partners lot on Second Street, where 146 slots have been set aside for monthly rental. Noland has recommended that all 68 spaces in the nearby city lot at the corner of Butler and Second streets also be converted for monthly lease. The municipal lots off Front Street next to Armory Square and adjacent to the Putnam Bridge would also include monthly rental spaces-15 out of about 33 in the Putnam Bridge lot, and 28 out of 77 spaces in the Armory Square lot, according to a preliminary plan from Marietta Safety-Service Director Jonathan Hupp. "The administration believes this would create a revenue stream enabling the city to maintain the lots as well as pay for enforcement," he said. Fact Box Parking changes coming Marietta City Council plans to add several monthly paid parking spaces in municipal parking lots. The spaces, currently only located in the Parking Partners Lot, lease for $25 a month. City officials say additional monthly rental spaces in lots at Butler and Second streets, Armory Square, and next to the Putnam Bridge would generate revenue to maintain city parking lots and hire up to two part-time parking enforcement officers. Estimated cost for the salaries of two officers would be approximately $30,000 a year. In addition to creating more leased spaces, council may increase the time limit on non-leased parking slots from the current two hours to three hours. The parking changes could become effective by the first of the year. Source: City of Marietta. Other city parking areas, including the Ohio River lot just south of the Lafayette Hotel, a lot beneath the Washington Street Bridge, and the large lot near the Indian Acres Park boat ramp, may also be considered for leased parking. Hupp and Noland said in addition to more monthly space rentals, council is looking at increasing the time limit for non-paid parking spaces in city lots to three hours instead of the current two-hour limit. "Three hours would give people time to shop or do other business as well as to eat while they're downtown," Noland explained. Marietta Law Director Paul Bertram III said some council members have also recommended increasing the time limit to three hours for all current two-hour city parking spaces, whether they're located in parking lots or on the street. He said that's one of the issues that has to be ironed out before legislation can be developed to create additional monthly rental spaces and to hire parking enforcement officers. "The administration has to first put together a final parking lot plan, then a fund has to be set up in which to place the leased space monies and defining how those funds will be used," Bertram said. Council will then have to approve the fund and legislation before the additional spaces can be leased and revenue collected to pay for enforcement. Bertram said making the changes by the first of the year is doable if council addresses those issues in the next couple of months. He noted the revenue and hiring of enforcement officers would also have to be addressed as council works on the 2014 municipal budget. Hupp recently presented the council members with a draft job description for the part-time enforcement officers, which he estimated would cost the city about $15,000 each for their annual salaries. He said the positions would be for 29 hours a week or less, and would require at least a high school diploma or equivalent. The officers would issue tickets for parking violations, be able to interact with the public and be able to prepare daily reports. "The positions would likely come under supervision of the police department," Hupp said, adding that the enforcement officers would not only patrol parking lots, but also on-street parking and could monitor handicapped parking space violations in the Walmart complex. City council eliminated the parking meters and enforcement officers in January 2007. In 2006 the city's revenue from parking violation fines, monthly space rentals, and parking meters totaled $86,712. That year the city paid out a total $64,979 in salaries for a full-time parking enforcement officer and two part-time attendants at the Parking Partners lot. Hupp said hiring two part-time parking enforcement officers under the plan currently being proposed would likely cost around $30,000 a year. I am looking for: News, Blogs & Events Web
4	Labor Stunner: Michigan Joins Ranks Of Right-To-Work States December 12, 2012 The Michigan legislature voted on December 11, 2012 to pass controversial right-to-work legislation affecting private and public sector employees throughout the historically union-friendly state. The legislation, which was signed almost immediately into law by Governor Rick Snyder, is a striking blow to Michigan’s organized labor movement, particularly in the automotive industry. The new laws are expected to take effect as soon as April 2013. What Does Right To Work Mean? Under the National Labor Relations Act, employers and unions may agree to require all employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement to join the union or pay the equivalent in union dues after thirty days from initial employment, whether they want to or not. But under Section 14(b) of the NLRA, individual states may outlaw such agreements, and many have done so. In these “right-to-work” states, union membership is voluntary. Of course, even in states that have passed right-to-work legislation, unions can still represent employees and engage in collective bargaining, despite heated suggestions to the contrary by supporters of organized labor. Prior to Michigan, 23 states had enacted various forms of right-to-work legislation. Earlier this year, Indiana (another traditionally pro-labor Midwestern state) passed a right-to-work law. Why It’s Important Proponents of right-to-work laws argue that forced unionism is inherently unfair. In America, they contend, employees should not have to contribute to any cause that they do not personally agree with. Add to that the fact that many, perhaps most, union members in Michigan have never had the opportunity to vote on whether they even wanted union representation. This is particularly true in the automotive industry where forced union membership has been the rule for more years than most of the members have lived. These employees never had the opportunity to vote on union membership or the payment of dues, so forced unionism can certainly be said to violate their freedom of association rights. Right-to-work supporters also advance an equally persuasive economic argument. Analyzing various statistics, the National Institute for Labor Relations Research has drawn a strong correlation between right-to-work laws and ensuing economic growth. According to a recent study, private sector (non-farm) employment grew by 3.7% from 1999 to 2009 in right-to-work states, while shrinking 2.8% in the remaining states. During that 10-year period, real personal income rose 28.3% in right-to-work states, while dropping 14.7% elsewhere. These statistics plainly indicate that forced unionism states (i.e., states without right-to-work laws in place) are losing the economic development game. Consequently, it is not surprising that many of those states have been seriously considering right-to-work legislation to boost their troubled economies. But what is genuinely surprising is that states like Michigan, the birthplace of one of the largest unions in the country, the United Auto Workers, have joined in the movement. Michigan, like many other heavily-unionized states, has experienced abysmal economic growth in the last decade, as automakers and their suppliers have struggled to keep up with competitors who operate in more employer-friendly states and overseas. While the auto industry bailout of 2009 – one of the most polarizing topics of the most recent presidential election – has served as a band-aid to limit the economic bleeding of many Michigan companies, unemployment rates in the state continue at well above the national average. The Impact The immediate impact of Michigan’s new right-to-work laws is minimized somewhat by an important exception included in the legislation. As with the recent Indiana right-to-work law, the Michigan law applies only to agreements that take effect or are extended or renewed after the effective date legislation in April of 2013. For future contracts, however, the impact will be substantial: public- and private-sector employees in the state will no longer have to pay union dues, or their equivalent, to hold certain jobs, and it will be unlawful for a collective bargaining agreement to include union-shop or mandatory dues check-off arrangements. How organized labor – and particularly the United Auto Workers – will respond to this legislation remains to be seen, but a court challenge appears to already be in the works. In the meantime, the National Labor Relations Board continues to move full speed ahead with its decidedly pro-union agenda, routinely striking down employer policies that it construes as curtailing the rights of employees to engage in pro-union activities. With right-to-work legislation taking effect in one of the most historically labor-friendly states, and the inability of federal pro-labor bureaucrats to accomplish legislative and regulatory changes, it is clear that unions will rely more heavily on the NLRB’s decision-making power to assist them in organizing efforts.

Both sides of their grandparents spoil them whenever they can. While I try and keep their gift giving within reason (and fail miserably), there are definitely some items that they can use such as… Kids Clothes from Children’s Place! Max wearing his Children's Place shorts Max and Artemis have many “uniforms” from the Children’s Place like these “piranha shorts” that Max wears on a daily basis. Okay, we have to pry them off him at night he loves them so much. Artemis also has a bunch of adorable shorts, pants and t-shirts. What I’ve found (and it makes my life easier) is that you can wear the individual items as a set or mix-and-match. Speaking of uniforms, while The Kids won’t be headed to school for a couple of years, it’s still fun to look nice and you can never be too dressed up (if you ask me). If you’re in the market for some uniforms, check out just two of the great pairings that they have for boys and girls. What boy doesn’t look handsome in a vest and tie? And their coats and shoes are absolutely adorable and comfortable (just ask my three year old). FYI, there’s a Monster Sale going on right. Receive up to 70% off clearance items and 25% off school uniforms! The Children’s Place makes no secret about the fact that their products are Made in Bangladesh.

3	Trees are important Throwaway lines. Yesterday I found a sheet of paper on the kitchen floor, slightly crumpled, having been discarded from a backpack. My youngest son said he wrote this poem for a royal tree-planting event ages ago, and he forgot to hand it in: Trees are important trees are like bees come out in summer go back in winter wen bees get honey we get apples or pears or lemenons or oranges and you get joy from when you laugh or smile you get trees for homes for squrles, owls, birds and much more thoe we are taking away there habitat when we destroy someone’s habitat or home we destroy part of ourself flying beeby Sam (8), written to celebrate the official planting of a special tree in Windsor. He thinks a member of the Royal Family did the honours, but he can’t recall who! Sam wrote this weeks before he brought home Fantastic Mr. Fox from the school library: strangely significant in a spooky way. Check it out! RSS feed for comments on this post. TrackBack URI 1. That is very sweet. I love that you included the misspellings. 2. That’s adorable! I like the lemenons! 3. [...] the same blogsite, I also found these Throwaway Lines; so this is for [...] 4. Hi, I am on a trip, blogging reading I mean. :) I have been here once in a while, everytime it seems you get busier and busier. I hope Sam is well and still enjoying the lemenons. 5. Dear little indian, It’s lovely to hear from you! We are all well, surrounded by back-to-school supplies at the moment. Sam is very well, and says “Hi!” He was just looking over my shoulder with his big brother, trying to remember the name of the park (Luco)where we saw a big fish years ago, and laughing at all the photos we skimmed along the way to try to jog our fading memories. 6. nice. that reminds me of a poem i wrote ages ago called ELIFANT. it was after a trip to India in which we rode elephants. unsurprisingly, the poem was a lot to do with farts and poop. 7. How very thoughtful on trees and environment.At the rate we are cutting and burning trees and froests and burning up oil and gas as fast as we can we will surely choke well before 2050. Old fogies will be gone but what of the young and future generations? 8. came on this by chance in searching for Martin Parry; it made my day. Your son is very talented and I am happy to find a young person who loves trees. 9. awwe! So cute! :)) Great poem though for an 8 year old! Congrats to him!

4	"What if?" That is the question the state wants North Lebanon Township to answer in preparation for a potential breach at the Ebenezer Lake dam. Steve Sherk of Steckbeck Engineering & Surveying told the supervisors Monday night his firm turned in a report about the dam in 2012. Then, in April this year, the state notified the township it was requiring an engineering study and an incremental breach analysis on the dam. Sherk explained that the analysis involves a model of a 500-year and 1,000-year flood in a nonbreach scenario and in a breach scenario. These models would answer the question: "What would happen if a 500-year (or 1,000-year) flood occurred?" Those results would then be compared to an ideal situation. The ultimate goal, he said, is the safety for those downstream from the dam. "If the state finds a deficiency in capacity, they may want you to develop a plan to address that deficiency," he said. The dam is rated "C1," Sherk said. The letter designates the size of the dam, and the number represents a high-hazard dam - meaning there is potential for loss of life along with damage to homes and structures in the event of a breach. Sherk proposed an $8,000 agreement in which his firm would provide a topographical map, limited field survey, multiple meetings with state officials and an incremental breach analysis. The supervisors balked at the total, noting they would like to postpone action until after preliminary work is done on the 2014 budget. After discussion, they agreed to begin the process with preliminary work at a cost of $2,000. In unrelated business, Sherk presented information about the Lebanon County Clean Water Alliance, a group of nearly two dozen municipalities working together to share ideas on stormwater management and the Chesapeake Bay pollution reduction implementation plan. The group has secured a grant for a study outlining how to proceed. The goal, he said, is for municipalities to share ideas and costs in a cost-effective manner. Sherk said he was not asking the supervisors to commit to involvement, only that they review the materials provided by the alliance. In addition, Sherk presented a proposal for engineering work to design a new baseball field to replace one that will be eliminated with the expansion of the township's recycling center. In addition to the replacement field, the township had asked Sherk to present ideas on additional parking and ways to alleviate drainage problems. At a cost of $14,000, Sherk proposed providing a site plan, drainage plan, grading plan, stormwater management plan and documents. For an additional $4,500, his firm would prepare bid documents and administer the project. The supervisors authorized the initial planning stages of the project.

Roswell Courtesy of Tom Tryniski’s Old Fulton History © Brooklyn Eagle What a great font! The sign company was owned by a Frederick W. Kurtz. © Caroline D. Roswell John A. Schwarz was born in New York in the late 1850′s to German immigrants. He began as a clerk in a furniture store. In 1876 He opened his first store in Brooklyn, at the 838-40 Broadway address on the ad. When he started out he only had a 20 foot space in the 838 building, but business grew until he took over the entire building and the building next store. So the 838-40 address refers to building numbers 838 and 840 Broadway. John died in 1906 and the business was taken over by his sons, John Jr. Edward and Frank. In 1910 they opened another location at 1321 and later 1319 Broadway. The 334 Livingston Street store was opened in 1922 and the 16601 Jamaica Avenue store around 1925, so one can guess the ad was painted in or around 1925. (since another store was opened in 1926 at 1535 Broadway, which took over Phelan’s Furniture Company. According to a 1921 ad from the Broklyn Daily Eagle, John was quite a friendly guy, and when his first store opened people were more than happy to buy furniture from him, which was instrumental in growth of the business. – Caroline D.

I was very impressed with the quality of the hair. I have washed it and I love the natural wave of the straight hair. The wavy hair and the curly hair are very pretty as well. I love it. I would have loved to see the weft to see the construction of it and to see the length of the beards. I have no complaints though. I cannot wait to get my money together so I can place an order. The color is a beautiful natural black/brown and when flat ironed the hair is smooth and beautiful. I love the fact that with Perfectlocks, you can order the hair and the closures from the same place, ensuring that all of your hair are of the same type, color and quality. I just love it.

3	5 Things Mac Gamers Need To Know About Quake Live + Add a Comment Works fine with my MacBook (Pro) Unibody in the newest Safari, but not in Firefox though. Sometimes it crashes in Safari, but usually only when you're in the game (primarily on full-screen) and change some game settings. Try to just change them without the game-window open, and do not press F3 to become "Ready" in new battles if you have Exposé turned onto that, messes it up. Already enjoying the game though, waited for it for like a month. It's awesome and easy to learn! I have a 2007 MacBook, 10.5.8, Safari 4.0.3. It works, but the framerate appears capped at 30, no matter what commands you enter into the console. I know for a fact I was able to run the original Q3A at a far better framerate. Seems like a lot of people on the forums are having this problem though. name's neon_electro on there btw, would love to have some fellow Mac users add me as a friend! I'm running a G5 running OS 10.5.7 with Safari 4.0.3. No go. The site forum suggests that the required plug-in is Intel-only, although I haven't found that officially on the site. Has the author tried it on his own PPC yet? I have a macbook- os 10.5.7 and could not run quake on firefox 3.0.6, I did get it to work on Safari, however. Same here, with 10.4.11 (waiting on Snow Leopard to come out) Mac Mini Intel Solo 1.5. It rejected Firefox 3.5.2 but seems to be loading okay in Safari 4.0.3. What I thought was interesting was that the developers haven't changed their "incompatible" flash screen, stating that a Mac version was "under production" and was not available yet. They simply haven't updated it yet. Update: After installing the plugin, it crashes Safari repeatedly. Tried again on my wife's MBP, and it failed Safari 4.0.3. No Quake for me.

4	According to news services, a big snowfall predicted for Feb. 10 will set a Philadelphia record for the snowiest winter ever but should not affect construction of the new market. However, John Vena, owner of John Vena Inc. on the Philadelphia Regional Produce Market, said that the bad winter weather will have "minimal" impact on the construction of the new Philadelphia market because the building is now enclosed and work is underway inside the new building. Mr. Vena told The Produce News Feb. 8, "Today they are delivering heavy refrigeration equipment. Two trailers were unloaded. There is lots to do inside now, and they are working away." As of Feb. 8, the construction is on schedule for completion this fall. "But with a project this large, with as many moving parts as there are, it is too early to predict," he said. "But at this point, we are on schedule."

For IP Pack Information, please click here. ArrorEmission Reduction Cleaner engines with even lower exhaust emissions are achieved by improving on the already excellent TNE base. Stricter emissions standards are cleared by a wide margin. ArrorReliable and Durable The TNV engines now proudly take up the running as Yanmar's premium small industrial diesel. They offer even more enhanced durability due to better block cooling, a stiffer crank and pistons, finer tolerance in the journal, and more. CAE analysis has brought lower vibrations and higher strength to the mounting structure for even better reliability in heavy-duty jobs. ArrorNozzle Insulation Angle The installation angle of the fuel injection nozzle is greater than that in conventional engines, so that uneven atomization of fuel between injections can be reduced. Excellent matching between intake swirl ratio and the shape of the combustion chamber has resulted in uniform mixing of fuel in the combustion chamber. Performance improved such as • Combustion efficiency • Startability • Noise • Exhaust emission ArrorCombustion Chamber It increase the fluid energy of the air and fuel charge. The swirl effect produced in the chamber continues while combustion occurs, aiding mixing and results in lower exhaust emissions compared to conventional chambers. ArrorFuel Injection Equipment A new MP pump has been developed to make improvements over a wide range of areas to even further reduce emissions. • High-injection pressure • Use of a mono plunger reduces uneven injection between cylinders • New mechanical governor maintain cleaner exhausts • Minimal variation from chosen revs at low speed using constant pressure valve. ArrorFuel Injection Nozzle • Multiple numbers of very small holes are used to achieve uniform atomization. • Holes are not simple drilled, their inside edges are carefully rounded to promote even flow and direction of spray, also to reduce resistance. • Low sack nozzle profile improves combustion. Double corn shape protects from cavitation ArrorNoise Level Reduction Cylinder Block Noise Reduction.Yanmar's original CAE techniques have optimized the stiffness, minimized transformation and reduced radiant noise.

Wise and Ben Sachs, senior vice-president and dean of Tulane Medical School. Tulane Hillel was joined by members of Tulane University and the New Orleans Jewish community to break ground on The Goldie and Morris Mintz Center for Jewish Life. The state-of-the-art facility will be located on the corner of Burthe and Broadway in the Uptown neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. The center will better serve the social, educational and spiritual needs of the 2500 Jewish students on campus. The center will also host Tulane University classes and events for the entire community. Rabbi Yonah Schiller, executive director of Tulane Hillel, says, "The groundbreaking ceremony was a great step forward for Jewish Life on campus and for the entire New Orleans Jewish community. We were thrilled to have the support of so many parents, friends, alumni and especially students at the ceremony. We are fortunate to be working with Tulane University on this project. The university has been a great partner throughout this process, we would not be here today with out the support of the administration and the university community. There is amazing energy and enthusiasm for the direction that we are headed both as an organization and a Jewish community at Tulane University." The $4 million building is scheduled to open during the fall semester of 2010. Tulane Hillel is continuing its efforts to raise a $2 million endowment to support the innovative programs that will take place in the new facility. "Tulane University deserves a great Hillel and this new facility will place Tulane Hillel amongst the elite college campuses for Jewish life in the country," says Carol B. Wise, president of Tulane Hillel's Board of Directors and member of the Board of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life. This year the Union of Reform Judaism's magazine ranked Tulane University eighth among private schools that Jewish students choose. For over 60 years Tulane Hillel has served as a Jewish resource on campus committed to empowering students to make Jewish connections, building dynamic communities and generating excitement about Jewish life on campus.
