WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is taking his case for avoiding a potentially unsettling "fiscal cliff" to the Philadelphia suburbs, employing campaign-style tactics in hopes of mobilizing the public to his side.
The president's trip comes amid signs of impatience in the negotiations between Republican leaders and the White House.
Obama heads to Hatfield, Pa., to pressure Republicans to allow tax increases on wealthy Americans while extending current Bush-era tax rates for households earning $250,000 or less.
White House officials believe the trip will build momentum for Obama's case, even as Republicans have described it as an irritant and an obstacle to fruitful talks.
Obama will tour and speak at a manufacturing facility, showcasing the company as an example of a business that depends on middle-class consumers during the holiday season.

It is state tournament time in high school basketball.
The Georgia High School Association state tournament begins on Tuesday night and the GISA state tournament will start on Wednesday.
The Monroe Tornadoes will open at home against Dutchtown Tuesday night.
The Tornadoes enter the state tournament coming off a tough loss to rival Westover for the region title.
Losing the region title has hurt the pride of the Monroe team after they went through the region schedule unbeaten.
The pain though will be forgotten if the Tornadoes can win a state title.
A goal that is helping Monroe move on from the region tournament.
"We wanted it. Yes we did. that is over. We are getting ready for Dutchtown. We just spoke about earlier that it is a game by game now. We are 3 games away from a final four. We are trying to get there now," said head coach Marquis Davis.
"Just got to play for the seniors. We have got 12 seniors on the team. It could be our last 32 minutes. We just have to go out there and play," said senior Jabari McGhee.
Monroe girls play at 6:00 p.m. Tuesday at home against Riverdale.
The Tornadoes will play at 7:30 against Dutchtown at the Monroe gym.

The 64 girders were delivered to the South Waterfront area beginning July 23. The girders will be delivered in three phases over a 10-week period, with one girder being delivered per truck.
The 7.3-mile project is the region's sixth MAX construction project to be built and extends from the terminus of the MAX Green and Yellow lines at Portland State University in Downtown Portland to South Waterfront, SE Portland, Milwaukie and North Clackamas County.
The line, which expands the MAX system to 60 miles and 97 stations is expected to open in September 2015.
In other news, TriMet reached a new ridership milestone: for the first time in the agency's 43-year history, TriMet tops more than 102 million trips on its buses, MAX and WES commuter rail. That's a 2.2-percent ridership increase during fiscal year 2012 compared to FY2011.
"This is a great milestone that shows riders value our service and the options it provides for getting around the region, whether to go to work, school or enjoy all the area has to offer," said TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane. "I want to thank all of our riders for reaching this new record, as well as the operators who provide this valuable service."
During June, more than 8.5 million trips were taken on the system. Since opening in February 2009, WES ridership has continued to grow every month, including June with WES up 7.4 percent to 1,740 trips a day.

City gets borough information to area voters
The Petersburg Borough election date is looming before the area and facts regarding this issue are in debate for all involved.
The Petersburg Borough Promotion Committee met for the first time Friday morning with the tag line, Petersburg Borough. We're stronger together.
"We need to make sure that all of our promotional information is based in fact," Petersburg City Manager Steve Giesbrecht said. "The purpose of this promotion is not to change the minds of those who have already decided, but to help those undecided know the facts."
This Borough election will be completely in the hands of the State Division of Elections and will be handled as a mail-in election.
"Ballots will be mailed around Nov. 26," Giesbrecht stated. "These ballots must be returned, or postmarked by Dec. 18 election day."
On the ballot for incorporation will also be the election of assembly members, assembly Mayor, hospital board, school board and planning commission members.
"If the borough passes there will be no more city government," Giesbrecht explained. "The city will dissolve and the assembly will take its place."
Between now and election day the Borough Promotions Committee will be running ads in the newspaper, advertising on the radio and talking to the public about the issues surrounding the incorporation of Petersburg into a borough.
"This isn't about writing letters to the editor," Giesbrecht said. "This is about using the news and radio to get the information to the people. We want the facts to be clear."
Giesbrecht explained that the best way in which to get the message out is one on one and face to face, but with the time constraints that isn't completely possible. "That is one of the reasons why this committee and these steps are so important."
Candidates for the borough are still needed and this committee will also have the job of soliciting candidates for the positions available. As of the morning of this meeting, City Council Member Mark Jensen and Council Member John Hoag were the only official candidates for the assembly. Other possible candidates include Don Koenigs who will be running for the assembly Mayor position with Jensen, and Sue Flint, Jean Ellis and Nancy Strand who are still soliciting signatures for the election petition.
Promotional material for the borough will include three main points: If you want a vote in local and regional decision making, if you want increased revenue for our region without increased regulations and if you want to define and preserve our local and regional identity then vote yes for the Petersburg Borough.
These three points are broken down even further with specific points of interest. In local and regional decision making, think of Thomas Bay, Swan Lake and the Kake Intertie as well as enfranchising all regional citizens in participating fully in local elections. With the increased revenue without increased regulations, consider that there will be no need for a building permit, animal control or other governmental interference if you are not in service area one and service area one will remain the area within the city limits with no changes to services or taxes. In regards to preserving Petersburg's local and regional identity, consider that Juneau or other governmental entities will not be able to encroach upon Petersburg's traditional territories.
"It is important to be informed of all the aspects of this borough incorporation," Giesbrecht stated. "It is our job to make sure the information is there for all of the residents of the proposed borough area."

The crisp, clear New York morning 11 years ago was shattered by two passenger jets that were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists and crashed into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. CRN's coverage of the attacks in a special issue looked at both the agonizing personal and financial toll the tragedy took on the solution provider industry and the country as a whole.

January 2012
Karen Rupert Keating '76 receives the 2011 Samuel C. Johnson Distinguished Service Award
"The world is littered with half-baked ideas, half-finished projects and half-envisioned dreams," said Keating, who is a managing director in the Investment Banking Division of JP Morgan Chase. "What changes the world is making things happen, and if you have a good enough idea, figuring out how to sustain it. That's what gives me a great deal of satisfaction."
Coming from a family of active Cornellians, Keating, too, has devoted significant volunteer time serving the needs of Cornell and Johnson, and helping connect alumni with each other and the university. For her leadership and volunteer efforts on behalf of Johnson, Keating was awarded the 2011 Samuel C. Johnson Distinguished Service Award, a lifetime achievement award that recognizes extraordinary alumni for their sustained and exemplary commitment to Johnson and its alumni.
"For me, the award is very special since it is named for one of Cornell's most visible and visionary alumni, whom I had the privilege of serving with on the Johnson School Advisory Council when he was the chair, and whose family, like mine, continues to be active with so many different parts of the University," Keating said.
Keating served two terms on Cornell's Board of Trustees, where she chaired the alumni affairs steering committee, and was appointed a trustee emerita and a presidential councillor. She is a member of the Johnson Advisory Council, the President's Council of Cornell Women, the Athletics Advisory Council, and has served as a Class of 1976 officer continually since graduation.
Since joining the Johnson Advisory Council in the late 1990s, Keating has helped to augment the school's prominence and standing in a variety of ways. As chair of the council's corporate committee, she led efforts to increase the yield of admitted students to Johnson; strengthen corporate ties and thereby improve recruiting results for Johnson students; and help Johnson students prepare for their career searches.
Keating has worked at JPMorgan Chase for her entire career, and held multiple leadership positions over the years, as a banker, the former head of their Global Syndicated Lending Division, the head of their Corporate Banking Division, and most recently responsible for their Commitment Committees. She is also the senior sponsor of the JPMorgan investment banking recruiting team for Johnson, and notes that hiring top talent into JPMorgan is one of the firm's highest priorities.
Keating was the guiding force behind the creation of the Women's Power Lunch Series, which brings women business leaders to campus to interact with graduate students and faculty, a program co-sponsored by JPMorgan and Johnson's Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Since its founding in 2000, the series has convened several times a year, featuring leaders from a variety of fields. Keating hopes the Power Lunch Series will continue to "broaden perspectives about how different businesses and leaders operate."
For Johnson students and Cornellians of all pursuits, Keating emphasizes the need to push one's boundaries, emotionally and academically.
"Find something you can do for the long haul, since a career is something you will hopefully enjoy for decades," Keating said. "Find something that stretches you – intellectually and dynamically – so that you can adapt to coming changes that are not obvious today."
Brendan Doyle '12 is an intern in Marketing and Communications at Johnson.

Acanthus volubilis
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Acanthus volubilis Wall.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Ellison, J., Koedam, N.E., Wang, Y., Primavera, J., Jin Eong, O., Wan-Hong Yong, J. & Ngoc Nam, V.
|Polidoro, B.A., Livingstone, S.R. & Carpenter, K.E. (Global Marine Species Assessment Coordinating Team)
This species is widespread, but uncommon. It is threatened by the loss of mangrove habitat throughout its range, primarily due to extraction and coastal development, and there has been an estimated 24% decline in mangrove area within this species range since 1980. Mangrove species are more at risk from coastal development and extraction at the extremes of their distribution, and are likely to be contracting in these areas more than in other areas. It is also likely that changes in climate due to global warming will further affect these parts of the range. Although there are overall range declines in many areas, they are not enough to reach any of the threatened category thresholds. This species is listed as Least Concern.
|Range Description:
|This species is found in South Asia, including Bangladesh, Brunei Darussalam, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Papua New Guinea.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Bangladesh; Brunei Darussalam; Cambodia; China; India; Indonesia; Malaysia; Myanmar; Papua New Guinea; Philippines; Singapore; Taiwan, Province of China; Thailand; Viet Nam
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Indian Ocean – eastern; Pacific – northwest; Pacific – western central

|This is an uncommon Acanthus species compaired to A. ilicifolius and A. ebracteatus. Although there is no species specific population information, it can be assumed that there are areas of population decline throughout its range due to coastal development.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It is often sympatric with other Acanthus species, and is found more landward among the Acanthus species. It tends to have very few thorns and is a climbing species.
|Terrestrial; Marine
|Major Threat(s):
Although local estimates are uncertain due to differing legislative definitions of what is a 'mangrove' and to the imprecision in determining mangrove area, current consensus estimates of mangrove loss in the last quarter-century report an approximately 24% decline in mangrove areas in countries within this species range since 1980 (FAO 2007).
All mangrove ecosystems occur within mean sea level and high tidal elevations, and have distinct species zonations that are controlled by the elevation of the substrate relative to mean sea level. This is because of associated variation in frequency of elevation, salinity and wave action (Duke et al. 1998). With rise in sea-level, the habitat requirements of each species will be disrupted, and species zones will suffer mortality at their present locations and re-establish at higher elevations in areas that were previously landward zones (Ellison 2005). If sea-level rise is a continued trend over this century, then there will be continued mortality and re-establishment of species zones. However, species that are easily dispersed and fast growing/ fast producing will cope better than those which are slower growing and slower to reproduce.
In addition, mangrove area is declining globally due to a number of localized threats. The main threat is habitat destruction and removal of mangrove areas. Reasons for removal include cleared for shrimp farms, agriculture, fish ponds, rice production and salt pans, and for the development of urban and industrial areas, road construction, coconut plantations, ports, airports, and tourist resorts. Other threats include pollution from sewage effluents, solid wastes, siltation, oil, and agricultural and urban runoff. Climate change is also thought to be a threat, particularly at the edges of a species range. Natural threats include cyclones, hurricane and tsunamis.
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no conservation measures specific to this species, but its range may include some marine and coastal protected areas. Continued monitoring and research is recommended, as well as the inclusion of mangrove areas in marine and coastal protected areas.

With contributions by Papa Charlie Jackson, banjo; Irene Scruggs, vocal; and others...
Genres: Ragtime Guitar, Country Blues Guitar.
Informative booklet notes by Alan Balfour.
Detailed discography.
From this album's booklet notes:
Despite the name of Blind Arthur being used for two guitar solos recorded in October 1929, there can be little doubt that it is Blind Blake who is playing his "famous piano-sounding guitar" (to quote a Paramount advertisement) on Guitar Chimes. It has the same use of harmonics as in 'Police Dog Blues' (DOCD-5026) but played in the key of C and latterly commented on by a noted musicologist thus, "most country blues guitarists were not sufficiently well versed in C to have hazarded such an instrumental".

On her records she can be heard with Blind Blake and Emmet Mathews (Document DOCD-5027 and 5345), Georgia Tom (DOCD-5526), and Earl Hines.

That country seems to be engaged in a war at most of the time in it's history. Afghanistan is going to be wound down by the end of 2014 so what's next? Iran? Syria?
Of course there is the war on terror but can that really be called a war in it's own right? (a secondary issue)...
Is the reason America engages in war so often because it's a prerequisite for their political agenda on earth (the exportation of democracy loosely put). What some call Imperialism? 'America must remain a beacon of Democracy to all those who seek freedom' blah blah...the so-called stable transitioning of countries to democracy and so forth. Isn't the imposition of the american political system on others a restriction in itself indeed a constraint for those countries for which the US seeks to "liberate" in giving them self-determination??
OK folks keep it civil and correct me as you must but let's have a good discussion.

February 14. 2014 10:47PM
MANCHESTER — A new school at the SEE Science Center that promises to "revolutionize" how students learn about technology will begin offering classes March 3, according to a news release.
The Technology and Innovation Academy, a private and public venture at the science center in the Manchester Millyard "will offer interactive, education courses centered around the STEAM AHEAD NH initiative, which promotes the understanding and enjoyment of achievements in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics," according to a news release issued by the Manchester tech company Dyn, a supporter of the school.

Wollongong City Council has told people not to swim in Wollongong Harbour after attempts to locate the source of a sewage leak failed.
The harbour beach has been closed and signage has been erected telling people not to enter the water.
Last Sunday, the Mercury reported a private main was responsible for a sewage leak into the harbour.
Late on Friday, Wollongong City Council issued a media release urging the public not to enter the water at Belmore Basin due to concerns over water quality.
The decision was made after a meeting between state government and council representatives on Friday afternoon.
''On the evening of Saturday 11 January, the Crown Lands Division of the NSW Department of Trade & Investment discovered an unknown seepage in the sea wall at Belmore Basin,'' the release said.
''They have since been working with Sydney Water to isolate and test the integrity of the sewerage system.''
Although Sydney Water told the Mercury last week the leak was from a private main, Wollongong City Council said the ''source or nature of the leak'' was yet to be identified.
Council's director of planning and environment, Andrew Carfield, said the beach had been closed as a precaution in the interests of public health.
''At this point we can't confirm what's causing this problem, so we're erring on the side of caution."
The water quality issues are not affecting North Beach or City Beach, which are expected to remain open for normal patrol hours."
The leak could not come at a worse time for council, with the Australia Day Aquathon, held at the harbour, just over a week away.

Activision said that demand for its Call of Duty Elite subscription exceeded its own optimistic expectations. While the company hasn't revealed how many subscriptions have been purchased, we can get an idea thanks to GameStop. In a recent earnings call, the retailer announced that nearly 600,000 subscriptions were sold at their stores.
That's a staggering figure for an online service that has yet to prove itself. Even more incredible is the fact that this number only accounts for vouchers purchased at GameStop locations--undoubtedly, the figure jumps much higher when you include all subscriptions purchased directly on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.
According to Gamasutra, the 600K sales of Call of Duty Elite makes it one of GameStop's "top 10 launches" in 2011 so far, and proves that the retailer's strategy of selling downloadable content in its stores is paying off. CEO Paul Raines said that "downloadable content is proving to be the killer app our [store] managers told us it would be."
GameStop's digital push is actually expanding the audience of downloadable content. According to the company's research, "half of the DLC we sell is to customers that have never purchased DLC before." While the expansion of the digital market is a good sign for the industry, we can't help wonder if GameStop's plan may eventually backfire. By introducing gamers to the idea of DLC, the company has taught consumers how to access and download content directly from the publishers themselves, via PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.

Marjorie Ellen Berney, 98, died Oct. 14, 2013 at a north Omak full care home. She was born in 1915 in the Goldendale area and was raised on a cattle ranch near there. Her parents were George and Daisy Harlan of the big Harlan families of America whose ancestors migrated here from the British Isles in the late 1600s.
At an early age, she met Roland S. Berney while she was cooking for a harvest crew. They were married shortly thereafter when she was still a late teenager.
In 1934, she and her husband, "Berney" as he was known, moved all their meager belongings and their one-year-old daughter, Norma Jean, to a small ranch, five miles east of Omak on the reservation. Her parents, two brothers, and one sister also moved to the same area. The young couple and her parents both operated small cattle ranches on the reservation.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 40 years, her parents, one older sister, two younger brothers, and a grandson. Survivors include her daughter, Norma Jean Mulloy; her son, George E. "Buzz" Berney; six grandkids; 10 great-grandkids; six great-great-grandkids; and several nieces and nephews.
Marjorie was one of the best gardeners, cooks, artists, cake decorators, painters, needleworkers, sewers, etc. She was a very accomplished horse trainer and cowgirl. Marjorie was a 4-H leader, a member of the Okanogan County Cowbells, and a highly respected member of the rural Okanogan County Lifestyle.
Graveside services will be held at the Conconully Cemetery at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013. In lieu of flowers, you may contribute to the charity of your choice. A potluck gathering will be held after the graveside service at the Conconully Community Hall.
Precht-Harrison-Nearents Chapel is entrusted with the arrangements.

Tyler Wright and Carissa Moore bomb out in Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach
Australian world surfing tour rookies Dimity Stoyle and Nikki van Dijk both claimed huge scalps on day one of the Rip Curl Pro at Bells Beach.
Stoyle handed reigning world champion and defending Bells title-holder Carissa Moore from Hawaii a rare-first round defeat, while Van Dijk downed last year's runner-up Tyler Wright.
Moore and Wright are now both pitched into sudden-death contests in round two.
Stoyle, 22, also faced off against Moore last week at Margaret River and was delighted to turn the tables on the two-time world titleholder.
"She is such a good competitor and is the world champion for a reason, because she's so strong and smart in heats," said Stoyle, who had a winning two-wave total of 15.76 points to beat Moore (15.54) and local wildcard Zoe Clarke (5.57) in the highest-scoring heat of the day.
"I'm still in a bit of shock at beating her.
"I told myself before the heat that I didn't want to make any mistakes.
"In the last event at Margaret River I made one little mistake in a heat against her, I paddled for a wave and missed it and the next wave she got a nine and that would have been me.
"That's why I only got two waves today and made them good."
Van Dijk drew on the experience of earning a wildcard last year at Bells Beach to win her first heat of 2014 with a score of 14.84 in 2-3ft waves.
Wright was second with 10.94.
"Having that experience here is really important because they are just such hard waves to ride," said Van Dijk, from Phillip Island in Victoria.
"Everyone is trying to learn how to surf these waves because it's so difficult."
Australian Sally Fitzgibbons, who won successive titles at Bells in 2011-12, left it late before winning her opening-round heat against Hawaiians Coco Ho and Alana Blanchard.
"Every time I walk down these stairs I get goose bumps," said Fitzgibbons.
"You walk into the stadium here at Bells and it's like no other.
"Having that win here and then going back to back, you're always chasing that winning feeling."
Five-time world champion Stephanie Gilmore also won her first-round heat to advance straight to round three, as did American Courtney Conlogue and Bianca Buitendag from South Africa.
The second round of the women's competition is likely to take place on Thursday.

Citing the potential of higher taxes and the redundancy of more parkland, about a dozen Flat Rock property owners showed up Monday at village council's specially called meeting to express reservations about a proposed municipal park at Highland Lake Golf Club.
Citing the potential of higher taxes and the redundancy of more parkland, about a dozen Flat Rock property owners showed up Monday at a Village Council meeting to express reservations about a proposed municipal park.
The majority of those who spoke asked council to hold a referendum before deciding on whether to purchase the 66-acre Highland Lake Golf Club property from Course Doctors Inc.
Until recently, few members of the public have voiced opposition to the park. A summary of all public input collected by the Highland Lake Park Exploratory Committee found 69 percent of 332 respondents were in favor of a park, with 22 percent opposed. The village has about 3,114 residents.
Park Rayfield, a member of the Flat Rock Planning Board, said he believes the community is evenly split over the project and should be polled more carefully before council makes "one of the biggest financial decisions since the village was formed." He suggested that a newsletter referendum was an inexpensive way to do that.
"I think making Highland Lake into a park is a bit redundant," Rayfield said, pointing out that Jackson Park is 2.7 miles away. "I don't think there's that big a need."
Resident Martin Gettler said he, too, was concerned about the project's costs, estimating the park purchase would cost every taxpayer about $500 and then roughly $90 each per year to maintain it.
"But I believe in the democratic process," he added. "If the majority of the people of Flat Rock really want it, then I'll support it. But I think we ought to do a good survey and really know that that's what the taxpayers want, and it's not just the voice of a few."
Council members made no decisions, saying they must get a firm handle on maintenance, operating and security costs. They'll meet again March 4 for an agenda meeting, but Mayor Bob Staton said last week that no final decision on buying the golf course would be made until at least March 14.
Resident Mike Buck said the exploratory committee's estimate of $153,000 to $180,700 in yearly operating costs are today's dollars, and don't account for rising costs such as health care that will be passed on to taxpayers down the road if the village contracts out maintenance work.
"Sooner or later, it comes down to me and my taxes," Buck said. "I would tell you that I'm not going to move out of Flat Rock over this issue and I'm going to pay my taxes, but right now, unless somebody can convince me that there's some benefit to this, it seems like we're over-parked already, between the national park right here and Jackson Park."
That view was echoed by 26-year resident Ed Destremps, who also questioned the lack of liability insurance in the committee's estimate of operating costs and whether flooding might wipe out trail work. He said insurance could add $10,000 to $20,000 to the park's annual price tag.
"We already have a rather large base of walking trails in the area and other amenities," Destremps said, listing Jackson Park, the Carl Sandburg Home, DuPont State Recreational Forest and Pisgah National Forest as alternatives for hikers.
Councilman Ron Davis said the village would have to ensure that trails and other features were constructed to withstand flooding. He said parks in his Iowa hometown sometimes went 6 to 8 feet underwater without harm. Several audience members agreed flooding on the golf course wasn't a persistent problem.
John Dockendorf, a member of the exploratory committee, said Monday's 2 p.m. meeting did not allow working people and families the opportunity to speak. Representing those viewpoints, Dockendorf said he supports the project because families now have to leave Flat Rock to find parks with playgrounds.
"Government doesn't have to be the bare minimum," he said, adding the committee's estimates of park maintenance costs were "worst case" and could be reduced through low bidding and allowing some of the golf course to grow naturally.
Another committee member, retired architect and planner Doug Johnson, said preserving the golf course as open space would help buoy everybody's property values long-term. Village control over the land would prevent it from becoming a 40-unit condominium or townhouse complex, he said.
"I think there's wisdom enough (on council) to control what the expenditures are going to be," he said. "I don't think this is a case of money burning a hole in the pocket of the village, folks."

Hola - Newbie, please be gentle!
I am just discovering Linux, I want my PC to be more than a word processor and web browser, so I'm looking at various distros.
Currently, while I settle on my linux-of-choice, I am dual booting Ubuntu/Doze... Ubuntu install was a breeze.
Reason for post :
I want to learn a PC programming language. As a hobby not a job (been there done it dont like the timesheets)
Considering Perl and Python - leaning towards Perl (have discovered PerlMonks)
Any views on which direction to take, and maybe why...- including blind prejudice
I have a programming background on different platforms - assembler, various flavours of cobol and fortran, rexx.
So I am happy with compiling/scripting/syntax/layout differences.
Which ever I go for I will probably go back to the other one later on (as time permits)
If this is already covered in another thread just point me at it.

The Summer Reading Program begins at 10 a.m. for children, at 11 a.m. for the teens and noon for adults on Friday, June 7, in the Carrie Pettit Conference Room at the Stuttgart Public Library.
Summer is already here and in a few weeks the students will be out of school and looking for something to do. That's where the Summer Reading Program at the Stuttgart Public Library comes in.
The Summer Reading Program begins at 10 a.m. for children, at 11 a.m. for the teens and noon for adults on Friday, June 7, in the Carrie Pettit Conference Room at the Stuttgart Public Library.
"The theme this year is 'Dig Into Reading' for the children and Beneath The Surface for the teens," Anna Bates, assistant director of the library, said. "The theme for the adults is 'Groundbreaking Reads.'"
Bates said that there are also movies during the summer — 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays for adults; at 2 p.m. on Wednesday for children; and at 4 p.m. Wednesday for teens.
"The program continues through Friday, July 26," Bates said. "There will be a Friday program on July 5, the day after Independence Day."
Last year set an attendance record for the Summer Reading Program with an average of 100 children on each Friday, Bates said.
"The teens vary from week to week with sometimes two or up to 10 teens," Bates said. "The adults average 12 to 16 in the Bookmarks Club."
During the summer reading program, teens volunteer with the children, creating different crafts each week. The crafts portion of the program is sponsored by businesses, individuals and clubs in the community.
Bates added that children who don't read during the summer lose approximately half a year of reading level compared to the student who reads during the summer months.
The Stuttgart Public Library relies on donations within the community to make the Summer Reading Program successful.
All programs at the Stuttgart Public Library are free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Stuttgart Public Library at (870) 673-1966.

I am setting up a shell script that creates a report that shows users that have logged into our system in the past month. The field lastloggedin is stored in a UNIX timestamp so it looks like this before hand: 1356543757695. After talking to the team that manages this software they said that I can convert this to a legible format using the following to_timestamp(jiveuser.lastloggedin/1000). This works as expected but I now need to know how to only get the last month in this same query. In mysql you would use the BETWEEN function to accomplish this, anything similiar in PSQL that will work with the UNIX timestamp before it's converted?
Here is my full query that I'm working with:
SELECT user.firstname AS "First", user.lastname AS "Last", to_timestamp(user.lastloggedin/1000) AS "Last Login", userprofile.value AS "Company" FROM user LEFT JOIN userprofile ON user.userid = userprofile.userid WHERE username = 'gregory.whitworth' AND fieldid = 5001;

Reuters Reports on Afghanistan's "Underground" HIV/AIDS Problem
February 10, 2011
Reuters examines the rise of HIV/AIDS in Afghanistan, where "[s]ocial stigma in a deeply conservative Muslim country has driven the disease underground and is complicating efforts to coordinate a response." According to the news service, "officially, there are 636 cases [of HIV/AIDS] in a population of about 30 million people," but health experts feel the official counts underestimate the scope of the problem, which they believe is growing. "Set alongside an almost decade-old war, desperate poverty and a government dependent on military and financial aid to reach beyond its cities, the fight against HIV and AIDS struggles to compete for the country's meager resources," the news service writes, before describing how injecting drug use (IDU), as well as a lack of HIV prevention and testing services are contributing to the spread of the disease (Robinson, 2/9).

For Baltimore-area prep lacrosse fans, all is right with the world after the boys and girls-all-star teams went undefeated to sweep the Under Armour Lacrosse Underclass tournament championships Sunday afternoon at Towson University.
The twin wins were as much dramatic (girls) as they were decisive (boys) in completeing a combined 12-0 run through the tournament for the Baltimore squads.
The girls, who had several down-to-the-wire victories, pulled out another heart-stopper in the last 10 seconds on Mount de Sales rising senior attacker Amanda Ignacio's third goal of the game to defeat previously unbeaten Long Island, 10-9.
McDonogh rising senior Megan Whittle, who scored five goals and added a pair of assists in the triumph, fed Ignacio for the game winner. Whittle was named the tournament MVP.
"She had an awesome tournament," Baltimore coach Jessica Randisi said.
Marriotts Ridge rising senior midfielder Marissa Davey and McDonogh rising sophomore midfielder Brindi Griffin added single goals for the champs while Maryvale rising junior midfielder Miranda Ibello (two), Ignacio (two) and Century rising sophomore midfielder Hannah Warther added assists.
The Baltimore boys were ahead, 13-11, in the final against Washington, D.C. midway through the fourth quarter until they closed with a furious 4-0 run on goals by Hereford rising senior midfielder Adam Ceribelli, Westminster rising senior midfielder Jesse Uhlman, Gilman rising senior attackman Chase Wittich and Hereford rising senior attackman Jason Ashwood.
In a semidfinal earlier on Sunday, Baltimore routed defending champion Philadelphia, 17-10.
Baltimore led, 9-7, in the third period before closing the game on an 8-3 run on goals by Loyola Blakefield rising junior midfielder Ryan Conrad, Boys' Latin rising senior midfielder Tal Bruno, Gilman rising senior midfielder William McBride, Ashwood and Gilman rising junior attackman Andy Matthews.
Bruno, Ashwood and Conrad scored two goals each during the spree.
Boys' Latin rising senior attackman Shack Stanwick was named the tournament MVP.
"Shack is a very smart attackman," Baltimore coach Tom Marechek said. He's our quarterback. He controls the pace of the game."
Stanwick had two goals and five assists in the final after notching a goal and four assists against Philadelphia in a semifinal.
On Saturday, Baltimore picked a perfect time to play inspired defense in an 11-7 triumph over Long Island.
The victory earned Baltimore a top seed in the playoffs on Sunday at the same site and knocked the New Yorkers out of the playoff hunt.
Coming on the heels of a 13-10 win over New England earlier in the day, Baltimore capped a perfect day in running its record to 4-0.
Rising junior goalies, A.J. Barretto, of St. Paul's, and Century's Alex Gipe, combined for 15 saves — topping the duo's 12-save effort against New England — to help Baltimore keep it close until the offense came to life in the second half.
"We're beginning to build some chemistry," Barretto said after compiling eight saves in the first half. "Long Island has a bunch of good guys, but it's great to have Baltimore win."
Baltimore trailed, 5-4, in the third quarter until Matthews tied it on an inside roll to beat Long Island goalie Jack Concannon. Goals by Uhlman and St. Paul's rising senior Mikey Wynne gave Baltimore a 7-5 advantage heading into the final period.
After McDonogh's Brinton Valis and McBride continued the run with goals, Long Island was too far behind to recover.
"We didn't talk about knocking Long Island out (of the playoffs)," Baltimore coach Tom Marechek said. "We just wanted to keep our momentum going."
Earlier, Baltimore built a 10-2 halftime lead against New England (2-1) after starting strong in the opening period.
"We were hustling after groundballs," said Stanwick, who scored all three of his goals before the intermission. "We put in a lot of effort."
Stanwick added that beating Long Island would be a great way to conclude the second day of competition.
"We definitely want to do that," he said. "This is all about the team. We want to win it."
He and McBride helped Baltimore turn a 7-2 advantage into a bigger margin near the end of the first half.
McBride scored back-to-back goals after long runs through the New England defense before Stanwick darted inside for another goal on an extra-man situation.
On Friday, after exploding for six goals to snap an 8-8 halftime tie, Baltimore had to hold on to secure an 18-16 shootout win over the Midwest.
Valis and Wynne each notched their game-high fifth goals in the final minutes of the contest to stifle a withering Midwest rally.
The Baltimoreans came out with a vengeance in the third quarter on goals by Valis, Wynne, Stanwick, Conrad, Ashwood and Wynne again to take what appeared to be a commanding 14-8 advantage midway through the period.
However, a goal by longstick middie Jake Miller, a rising senior from Arrowhead High in Wisconsin, ignited a 7-2 run that closed the gap to 16-15 with about four minutes remaining.
That's when Valis dodged past the opposing faceoff specialist and one-hopped a shot into the net before Midwest rising senior Pierre Byrne, from Indiana's Culver Military Academy, ripped a shot with one second left in an extra-man situation to make it, 17-16.
The Baltimoreans put it away with about 45 seconds left when Wynne's ride-and-strip preceded his back-handed flip shot into the goal for the final margin.
Defense was not a strong suit for either team in the opener.
"We gave up a lot of uncontested shots," Marechek said. "We needed to tighten up the middle. Our goalies (Barretto and Gipe combined for seven saves) let in some shots they shouldn't have, and they know that. That's just too many goals."

The Empire State native ended her first season of collegiate competition with 18 wins in singles action, including a team-best six match winning streak in the middle of the season. She also becomes the first freshman to garner league recognition since teammate Sarah Leonard was named to the second team in 2009.
The Big Green concluded their season on April 27 in a road loss to Harvard. Dartmouth finished the year 8-10 overall and 1-6 in the Ivy League.

Editor's note: Following is another segment in an ongoing series of headlines from 2013.
Oct. 19: After 20 years of serving as Bureau County Treasurer, and 40 years total in the treasurer's office, Nina Cattani-Urbanowski announces she will not seek re-election in 2014. Urbanowski will retire at the end of her current term next December. Looking back on the past 40 years, Urbanowski says she's seen plenty of changes come and go within the treasurer's office, however, the most significant change she has faced throughout the years is the advancements in technology.
At the Bureau County Republican's inaugural Illinois Valley Living's Women of Distinction Award ceremony at Deer Park Country Club in Oglesby, 10 area women were named Women of Distinction, including Kim Abel of Mendota, Kathy Casstevens of Utica, Mary Ann Cernovich of Sheffield, Lisa Clinton of Cherry, Dawn Conerton of Magnolia, Pat Schou of Princeton, Nedda Simon of Princeton, Loretta Volker of Princeton, Judith Wilkins Wright of rural Tiskilwa and Teresa Zearing of Princeton. BCR Editor Terri Simon emceed the event, and WGN Radio personality and Princeton resident Kathy O'Malley was the keynote speaker.
Oct. 22: The Malden Playground Committee reaches nearly one-half of its $25,000 goal to buy new playground equipment for Malden Grade School students. Malden Grade School Superintendent Mike Patterson says about $11,000 has been raised so far to get the needed new playground equipment. That money has come through community donations and also from an ongoing Pennies for Playground classroom collection. To add to that amount, the Malden Playground Committee plans a fundraiser for Saturday at the Princeton Moose Lodge.
Oct. 24: Harvest in Bureau County comes to an abrupt halt as rain and then snow stops combines in their tracks. Though chilly temperatures will continue throughout the week, Bureau County should be done with any more snow, though the area could see some spotty rain showers, according to WQAD meteorologist James Zahara.
Oct. 26: If Tuesday's snowfall can be trusted, Bureau County residents could be facing an early winter. Tuesday's first measurable snow event of the season actually ties with the 1913 snow event as the third earliest date of a measurable snow of 0.1 inch or greater in the Quad Cities area. The only earlier dates for a measurable snowfall were Sept. 25, 1942, when 0.1 inch of snow was received, and Oct. 18, 1972, when two inches of snow were received. Locally, the Princeton Water Treatment Plant records a total of 1.5 inches of snow during Tuesday's snowfall.
Oct. 29: Community Partners Against Substance Abuse coordinator Dawn Conerton announces 806 pounds of unwanted and expired medicines are collected at the Princeton, Buda, Wyanet, DePue and Granville police departments as part of the local National Take Back event. Since beginning a Prescription Drug Disposal Program (P2D2) in July 2010, the coalition and area law enforcement agencies have collected 5,149 pounds of unwanted and expired drugs through the P2D2 program and Take Back days, Conerton says.
Oct. 31: About 40 Tiskilwa residents attend a meeting of the Princeton Elementary School Board, with several of them voicing concerns about the possible closing of Reagan Middle School in Tiskilwa. Resident John Brokaw refers to a petition signed by nearly 300 people opposing the possible closing of the Reagan building, saying the closing of Reagan would destroy the "remaining pulse of the small community." The board takes no action the Reagan decision.
Nov. 2: About 35 Hall Township High School officials, area dignitaries, community residents and guests brave the rainy weather for a groundbreaking ceremony for Hall's new multi-million dollar high school building. Hall Superintendent Mike Struna says the first bid package for mass excavation will be opened Nov. 13 and approved by the Hall High School Board on Nov. 20. Hopefully, the new school building will completed and ready, with the current school demolished and removed, in time for school to open in early September 2015, Struna said.
Nov. 5: Bill Rosenow of Sheffield announces his candidacy for the office of Bureau County Sheriff. He is seeking the Republican Party's nomination at the March 18, 2014, primary. Rosenow says he has an extensive background in law enforcement, including 32 years with the Illinois State Police and one year as the appointed interim sheriff to fill a vacancy. He's still in good health and thinks he has a lot to offer the residents of Bureau County as sheriff, Rosenow says.
Nov. 7: The Sheffield Village Board hears from resident Connie Hahne that new playground equipment project has reached $42,500 toward its $50,000 goal. Many of the donations came from outside the community. The playground equipment will be ordered in January. The project committee plans on keeping the big swing and the big slide at Veterans/School Park. All of the other existing equipment will be removed, Hahne says.
Nov. 9: DePue officials learn the village will receive a $173,250 state grant to renovate its ground level water storage tank on the north side of town. Gov. Pat Quinn makes the announcement, saying the DePue grant is part of a $8.83 million investment which the state is making in 23 towns or townships for improvements in their water and sewer systems. DePue Mayor Eric Bryant says now the village can go forward with the bidding process for the water storage tank project.
Nov. 12: Bureau County communities and schools host celebrations throughout the county to honor veterans on Veterans Day. An estimated 900 area veterans are recognized in the annual Veterans Day tab published by the Bureau County Republican.
Nov. 14: Bureau County will save more than $100,000 in insurance premiums during the next three years for its property, liability and workman's comp coverage. Insurance Committee Chairman Mike Kohr presents two bids for the Bureau County Board's consideration, both of which he said would result in a monetary savings for the county.
Bureau County is currently paying a premium of $291,563, for its property, liability and workman's comp coverage through CIRMA. After lengthy discussion, the board votes 15 to 9 to accept the CIRMA bid of $229,950.
Nov. 16: Spring Valley will receive $9.5 million from Illinois Jobs Now! to overhaul and repair its wastewater treatment plant. Gov. Pat Quinn flies into the Peru Airport to make the announcement to area officials. The $9.5 million to Spring Valley is part of more than $200 million in flood recovery assistance awarded so far this year to help communities recover from spring floods. Spring Valley's wastewater treatment plant suffered extensive damage during the springtime flooding, and combined with its advanced age, was in dire need of repair, the governor said. The grant was "Godsent," Spring Valley Mayor Walt Marini says.
Nov. 19: Trained emergency personnel from Bureau County are on their way to the Washington, Ill., area to assist with recovery efforts after the area was devastated Sunday afternoon by a tornado., Bureau County Red Cross Director Lori Compton says trained disaster volunteer Mike Hellberg from Princeton was headed to the Washington area on Monday morning to help with the Red Cross' disaster assessment work. Bureau County's emergency response vehicles and personnel have also been alerted and are ready to go if needed.
Nov. 21: About 60 miles northwest of the tornado-struck Washington area, Bureau County residents, businesses, schools, churches and groups organize collection drives to gather needed items for the storm victims. An estimated 1,000 homes were damaged, and many were destroyed during Sunday's storm, which recorded several tornado touchdowns and winds reaching into the 190 miles per hour range. Lindsay Ponsetti of Simply Fresh in Spring Valley is one example of a business owner seeking to help storm victims, announcing her store will be a collection point for clothing and other items for the storm victims.
Nov. 23: The Walnut Village Board learns approval has been received from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency Financial Assistance Section for needed improvements in the village's sewer system. The sewer project has an estimated project cost of $1.9 million. The approval letter from the IEPA represents the acceptance of the village into the financing program of that agency. The next phase of this project will be to submit the actual loan application for the funds needed, the village engineer tells the board. If everything falls into place, construction could be completed by spring/summer of 2015.
Nov. 26: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces a proposal to decrease the amount of corn-based ethanol required to be used in 2014 for gasoline manufacturers and retailers. The decision brings frustration for area farmers and came as a surprise for local farmers like Greg Steele of rural Princeton. With all the political pressures in government, as well as politicians' focus on getting votes, this ultimately takes a toll on these types of mandates, he says. The decision involves so many aspects of government that it puts tremendous pressure to make things change, Steele says.
Nov. 28: The Princeton Elementary School Board decides to keep the Reagan building open next year, but for a different use than its current housing of fourth- and fifth-grade students. After several months of discussion and input from the public, the PES Board follows a recommendation from Superintendent Tim Smith for the Reagan building, located in Tiskilwa, to house one pre-kindergarten classroom, to service preschool students in the Tiskilwa community, and to provide space for two additional educational services, effective in Fall 2014. Leases will be extended to the Bureau-Marshall-Putnam Tri-County Special Education Cooperative and to Crossroads High School. School sites will be realigned as follows next fall: the Douglas building will house three pre-kindergarten classrooms and kindergarten; the Jefferson building will house first and second grades; Lincoln will house third and fourth grades; and the Logan building will house fifth through eighth grades.
Nov. 30: The Friends of Strays no-kill animal shelter is awarded a $1,500 grant from the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation. The monies will be used to assist low income individuals and senior citizens in getting their animals spayed and neutered. Linda Sullivan, a Friends of Strays Board member, says the shelter is very fortunate to receive the grant and encouraged eligible residents to take advantage of the opportunity.

A's drop series to Rangers with 6-2 loss in finale
By JANIE McCAULEYAP Baseball Writer
The reigning AL West champion A's are in another familiar first-half funk after dropping the series finale to the first-place Texas Rangers 6-2, Oakland's eighth loss in 10 games.
"We're not playing well right now and we have to power through this, win some games and get on a roll," manager Bob Melvin said.
His A's (20-22) fell two games below .500 for the first time since the second day of the season.
Cruz hit a three-run homer in the Rangers' four-run fifth, but he counted his catch to end the sixth with runners on first and second as his highlight of the day.
"I had four or five steps before I got to the ball, I thought I had a chance before I dived," Cruz said. "I think the catch in that situation was nice."
Melvin, too.
"It's huge," Melvin said. "If the ball gets down, it's two runs and it's a different game. If there was one particular play that had a big effect on the game, it was that one."
On the heels of a tough 3-7 road trip through New York, Cleveland and Seattle, the A's won the series opener with Texas 5-1 on Monday night, then lost in 10 innings Tuesday.
Alexi Ogando (4-2) didn't allow a hit until Eric Sogard's leadoff double in the sixth. The right-hander won his second straight decision and earned only his second victory in seven outings since consecutive wins starting the season. It was Ogando's first career win against Oakland.
Cruz greeted reliever Jesse Chavez in the fifth with a first-pitch drive to left for his 10th homer. His defense helped secure Texas' latest impressive win.
"Cruz made an awesome catch," said Oakland catcher John Jaso, who left after being hit by a pitch on the right shin in the fourth. "That's the break of the game right there. It's a totally different game if he doesn't make that catch."
Lance Berkman hit a two-run single and Adrian Beltre added an RBI single a day after hitting a 10th-inning home run. Elvis Andrus stole his ninth and 10th bases as the Rangers won their first series in Oakland since Sept. 20-22, 2011.
Derek Norris hit a sacrifice fly in the sixth for Oakland's first run. Coco Crisp, fresh off the disabled list, added one of his own in the seventh.
Last Oct. 3, Ogando entered in relief of the Rangers' 12-5 loss in Game No. 162 and was tagged for four runs in the eighth inning as the A's rallied to grab the AL West crown away from the Rangers.
Now, with the AL West-leading Rangers on a nice roll in mid-May, Ogando's first road win in his last six outings gave Texas some momentum heading home for a key four-game series with the Tigers starting Thursday.
The right-hander allowed two runs on four hits in six innings in his majors-leading seventh road start, his second ever against the A's and first in the Coliseum.
The Rangers wrapped up a 6-3 trip, and these clubs meet again for three games beginning Monday in Arlington.
"We wanted to come here and play good baseball and we're fortunate we did," manager Ron Washington said.
The A's loaded the bases with one out against Rangers reliever Michael Kirkman in the seventh, but got only Crisp's sacrifice fly.
Oakland starter Dan Straily (1-2) had his problems, too.
He plunked Ian Kinsler and Andrus back to back to load the bases with two outs in the third, then Berkman's single up the middle gave the Rangers the lead.
Straily avoided further damage in the fourth. After consecutive one-out walks to Mitch Moreland and David Murphy, and a wild pitch that advanced them both, Straily got a pair of flyball outs to escape unscathed. He walked four and struck out two in 4 1-3 innings of his second straight losing start and fourth consecutive winless outing.
"I was missing spots. At least I missed down and not over the plate," Straily said. "It's not being consistent whatsoever. That's what hurts the team and hurts me. I have to pitch how I am capable of pitching."
Crisp returned from a strained left hamstring and went 0 for 3 in his usual leadoff spot and playing center field.
NOTES: A's LHP Brett Anderson experienced further soreness in his sprained right ankle after going through pitcher's fielding practice Tuesday. "Brett won't pitch tomorrow and maybe not in the foreseeable future here," Melvin said. "We're just not past the soreness that he's getting." ... After getting a break Wednesday, Oakland OF Chris Young (strained left quadriceps) is scheduled to play one more rehab outing Thursday with Triple-A Sacramento with the hope he will be activated from the DL on Friday ahead of a home weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. ... Melvin will spend Thursday's off day next door at Oracle Arena cheering on the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals against San Antonio.

LOVELAND -- Police are seeking information on a van and witnesses to a reported kidnapping attempt on Monday afternoon.
According to Loveland police spokesman Sgt. Mike Halloran, a 12-year-old girl was biking home from Lucile Erwin Middle School around 3:30 p.m., when, in the area of 43rd Street and Georgetown Drive, a delivery-style van slowed down next to her.
The two men inside repeatedly told her to get inside the vehicle, the girl told police.
It's unclear which direction the van was driving, but the girl reported that the van was white over blue with a yellow emblem on the side.
The girl reportedly crashed on her bike nearby in the process of fleeing from the van. When a teenage white male wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses came to help her, the van took off.
The girl was uninjured and biked home and reported the incident immediately to her father, who then notified police.
Police are interested in speaking to anyone who has information on the van and would also like to speak with anyone who was in the area at the time, including the Good Samaritan who assisted the girl.
"He may have seen something that she didn't see," Halloran said.
The girl told police that both suspects in the van were both between 30 and 40 years old. The driver was described as Hispanic with short black hair and the girl described the passenger as a white male with brown, shaggy hair and a mustache. The passenger was reportedly wearing a white tank top and had a large tattoo on his upper arm.
The incident remains under investigation.
Thompson School District Mike Hausmann said Tuesday that the district is aware of the investigation and working with the police. On Tuesday evening, email notifications about the incident were distributed to parents and staff of Lucile Erwin, Ponderosa Elementary School and Loveland High School -- a wide net to cover the immediate area as well as to help track down the teenage boy, Hausmann said.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact Detective Eric Roberts at 962-2032.

Dental workers face gold theft charges
LUFKIN - Two former East Texas dental workers have been accused of selling stolen gold, including a piece attached to a bloody tooth.
Heather Ricks Terry and Mary Dorsey are charged with theft. Investigators say the Huntington women last year allegedly sold about $5,000 worth of gold pieces taken from a dental office.
An official with Palmer and Ross Dental Group in Lufkin said Wednesday that both women were fired in December.
Dorsey and Terry were booked Tuesday. Each is free on $3,500 bond.
KTRE-TV reported a buyer told police that some items were clean, but one batch had gold still in a bloody tooth.
Terry in January was charged with fraud after some dental prescriptions allegedly were forged.
Angelina County Jail records did not list attorneys for the women.
