Musicians will enter on this new work (the composition of sacred music) with the desire to continue that tradition which has furnished the Chruch, in her divine worship, with a truly abundant heritage. Let them examine the woks of the past, their types and characteristics, ... so that "new forms may in some way grow organically from forms that already exist," and the new work will form a new part in the musical heritage of the Church, not unworthy of its past,

This is a pretty big house for this blog, it is a whooping 500 square feet, but the design and its focus on solar are amazing! The house uses very practical materials for the external cladding.
here is an excerpt from the description
The cylinders' design was inspired by industrial agricultural materials. The structure was made by CorTen corrugated steel as the cladding and exposed steel beams on the interior. The house takes advantage of solar gain from the steel envelope through an innovative skin-integrated solar thermal system that pre-heats hot water. Each cylinder has two operable Velux® skylights to maximize the natural lighting.
The interior was designed by combining the agricultural and industrial aesthetic through a contemporary lens. The materials chosen were considered to be eco-friendly. The primary material pallete is made from forested black locust, ash and beech hardwoods from local area. They are complemented by the use of zero off-gassing finishes throughout the entirety of the house interior. Nanawallâ"¢ systems are used as the boundary between the courtyard, bedroom, and living room, blur the distinction between interior and exterior space. The kitchen was designed to provide energy efficient cooking activities, also to combine between cooking and entertaining activities. In the bedroom, the bed is raised into a a concealed ceiling box to create an open and usable space in its footprint.

The study from Uppsala University, Sweden, shows that one night of sleep deprivation increases morning blood concentrations of molecules NSE and S-100B in healthy young men.
These molecules are typically found in the brain. Thus, their rise in blood after sleep loss may indicate that a lack of sleep may result in loss of brain tissue, researchers said.
Fifteen normal-weight men participated in the study. In one condition they were sleep-deprived for one night, while in the other condition they slept for approximately 8 hours.
"We observed that a night of total sleep loss was followed by increased blood concentrations of NSE and S-100B. These brain molecules typically rise in blood under conditions of brain damage," said sleep researcher Christian Benedict at the Department of Neuroscience, Uppsala University, who led the study.
"Thus, our results indicate that a lack of sleep may promote neurodegenerative processes," said Benedict.
"In conclusion, the findings of our trial indicate that a good night's sleep may be critical for maintaining brain health," said Benedict.
The findings are published in the journal SLEEP.

6 Ways to Get a Bigger Tax Refund
If You Bought a House
Take advantage of the homebuyer tax credit, which offers up to $8,000 for first-time buyers. To get this credit, the purchase must have occurred between January 1, 2009, and June 30, 2010 (with a signed contract by April 30). Repeat homeowners can get a credit of up to $6,500. (The IRS defines a repeat homeowner as someone who has owned and lived in the same residence for at least five consecutive years out of the past eight and is buying a new home.) The credit for repeat owners starts phasing out for single taxpayers making a modified adjusted gross income of more than $125,000 and married taxpayers making $225,000. If you're married, both of you must have an eligible home ownership history. Since the income phaseouts are different for first-time home buyers depending on when you bought, be sure to check out federalhousingtaxcredit.com for more info.

If You Bought a Car
You can deduct state or local sales and excise taxes paid on new cars or small trucks — on up to $49,500 of the purchase price. And if you bought two, you get to take the deduction twice. The new wheels must have been purchased between February 17 and December 31, 2009. If your state doesn't charge a sales tax, you can take a deduction for other taxes or fees. This starts phasing out with an income of $125,000 to $135,000 for single taxpayers and $250,000 to $260,000 for joint filers. Use IRS Publication 919, "How Do I Adjust My Withholding?" to estimate the deduction.
If You Made Your Home Energy Efficient
If you made environmental improvements — energy-efficient windows, doors, insulation, heating and air conditioning systems — the government wants to offset the cost. Get a tax credit for 30 percent (up to $1,500 for most enhancements, although there's no upper limit for solar panels or solar water heaters). And while a new Energy Star fridge doesn't qualify for 2009, if you buy an energy-efficient appliance in 2010, your state may offer a rebate. Details vary by state, so ask your state's energy office for more info.

If You Paid for College
The Hope credit — money for tuition and related expenses — can now be claimed for four years of college instead of just the first two, including the cost of course materials. The newly named American Opportunity tax credit lets you claim up to $2,500 per student, but it starts phasing out with an income of $80,000 for singles and $160,000 for marrieds. Also, don't forget to withhold the interest you're paying on student loans, although that deduction starts to disappear at $60,000 for singles and $120,000 for marrieds. Generally, if you paid more than $600 in interest to a financial institution, you'll get a 1098-E form as documentation. If you didn't, call the company servicing your loan and ask how much interest you paid in 2009.
If You Collected Unemployment
While $2,400 of unemployment benefits is tax-free, everything beyond that amount is taxed. If you collected more than $2,400 and didn't pay taxes, you may owe money. Furthermore, if you were actively looking for a job in 2009, your search expenses — including travel, resume costs, and outplacement agency fees — are deductible as long as you were trying to find employment in your current occupation. This doesn't apply if you're a first-time job seeker, if you're trying to change fields, or if there's been a substantial gap since you last worked. (The IRS would not define how long was too long.)
If You Experienced a Serious Pay Cut
Last spring the Making Work Pay credit reduced taxes for single taxpayers by up to $400 and married couples by up to $800. (Okay, so not a huge break, but still worth investigation.) The credit started phasing out with an income of $75,000 for singles and $150,000 for joint filers. If you didn't initially qualify but your income took a dive after the credit went into effect, you may pay less in taxes retroactively (or get a bigger refund) if you ended up under the income cap for the year. Fill out a Schedule M to take the credit. If your income really plummeted, you may be newly eligible for the Earned Income Tax Credit, which will net you up to $5,657 back, depending on how many children you have. Income limits vary by family situation, so search for "EITC" on irs.gov for details.
The Real Deal on Roth
Starting in 2010 everyone has the option of converting traditional IRA accounts to Roths. So what's so great about a Roth? Since you pay taxes on the income before you deposit it, you can take it out in retirement tax-free. If you're thinking about converting, just make sure you have enough money on hand to pay the taxes you'll owe. If you'll have to dip into the IRA balance to pay them, experts say don't convert. Instead, consider opening a new Roth account; you're eligible if you're single with a modified adjusted gross income of $120,000 or less in 2009, or married making $176,000 or less. (If you deposit money before April 15, 2010, you can count that contribution toward your $5,000 limit in 2009 and deposit an additional $5,000 for 2010.)
Q. What's the biggest tax mistake?
A. Not e-filing.
Nearly a third of people still send in paper tax returns. Not only is it tedious to do your taxes by hand, but you're also more likely to screw up. "When you file a paper return, the error rate is about 20 percent," says Nancy Mathis, spokesperson for the IRS. "When you e-file, it drops to less than 1 percent." Why? Among other things, the program takes care of the math and also prompts you to sign electronically. Plus, you can get your refund within 10 days using direct deposit, compared with 4 to 6 weeks when filing by paper and requesting a check. If you make $57,000 or less, use the IRS's Free File program (irs.gov/freefile). Otherwise, taxact.com lets you file federal returns for free. (It's $15 for state returns.)

BALTIMORE, Jan. 20 (UPI) -- Organizers at the Edgar Allan Poe House in Baltimore say the tourist attraction may reopen as early as this fall.
The Poe House, which lost funding from the city of Baltimore in 2010, has been closed to the public since Sept. 28, The Baltimore Sun reported. Supporters are seeking to obtain official nonprofit designation for the house where Poe lived for two years in the early 1830s
"Though we're still in the early stages, things are picking up steam," said Mark Redfield, vice president of the board of directors for Poe Baltimore, the nonprofit organization created to run the Poe House and Museum. "At this point, we don't have a specific date to reopen. But we're hoping it will happen sometime this fall."
Redfield and Poe Museum curator Jeff Jerome have been raising money for the museum independently.
On Saturday, the two held a party in honor of Edgar Allan Poe's 204th birthday, which brought in between $2,000 and $3,000 for the museum.

Wolves are becoming extinct in Finland.
Finnish wolves are in danger of becoming extinct. Wolf is a highly
endangered species in Finland. Currently, there are only about 150 to
165 wolves living in Finland. Despite their endangered status, they
are still hunted and considered game.
Stop poaching!
The Finnish wolf population has almost halved in the recent years
because of poaching. Hunting crimes must be stopped. Wolves are
threatened by extinction because of both illegal and legal hunting.
Finnish wolf policy must change.
Finnish wolf policy has failed. The Finnish State has not defended its
vanishing wolf population despite the requirements of the Habitats
Directive. The EU must take immediate action to remedy the Finnish
situation. Wolves are practically outlaws in Finland at the moment.
Currently, only NGO's are working to protect wolves even though it
should be the government's responsibility.
The reindeer husbandry area is a wolf's hell.
The reindeer husbandry area currently has no reproducing wolf
population. The reindeer husbandry area covers 1/3 of Finland. In
practice, the State has permitted the killing of all wolves in the
area. There must be room for wild animals on the reindeer husbandry
area as well in addition to the reindeers of reindeer husbandry. At
the moment, there are approximately 300,000 reindeers in Finland.
Gene movement must be secured
Scandinavian wolves need new genes from Finland and Russia. However,
it is practically impossible for wolves to travel through the reindeer
husbandry area to Scandinavia. Wolves are killed in the area or at the
latest in the Swedish Sami areas. The Scandinavian wolf population is
threatened by inbreeding and extinction. In Russia, people are
sometimes paid for killing wolves. Also the fence that marks the
Finnish-Russian boarder at parts of Eastern Finland prevents wolves
from moving freely.
The Police Act must be amended.
Section 25 of the Police Act must be amended. The police grant
licenses to kill wolves too easily, for example based on fear of the
animal. Policemen are often hunters themselves and therefore
disqualified to grant these licenses. There is also not enough control
of licenses granted on the basis of the Police Act.

Wolf killer Kari Tikkunen blames society for his crimes by saying: "This society made me what I am today."
Kari Tikkunen originally from Sotkamo, admits that he is a man who has poached wolves by shooting and poisoning them. He boasts a hat made of wolf, which weighed 42 kilos when it was brand new.
In Finland the wolf is categorized as a highly endangered species. Poaching wolves is without a doubt a crime. Tikkunen lives in the back end of Sotkamo's Tipasoja. His home is the very last inhabited house on the edge of wilderness.
Tikkunen remembers the names of many of the wolves' lives he took, names such as Milla, Nikita and Moona to name a few . The collaring of wolves in 1998 for research purposes brought this custom of naming collared wolves. The story of Nikita's life ended to Lehtopuro creek on one Pentecost.
Poacher Tikkunen uses the protection of his self-bred hunting dogs to justify his poaching of wolves. It all began when his hunting dog was killed by a wolf in 1996.
Wolves have also visited the outskirts of his property. "I've said that every man has to be able to protect his own home. One must be able to look at himself in the mirror and maintain the respect of his wife."
According to Tikkunen wolves are "State dogs", that threaten his own dogs. He claims that he doesen't kill wolves for the fun of it. "If the law does not protect then I'll resort to my gun."

Two Florida men claim the owner of a local Japanese steakhouse chased them out of the restaurant and fired two gunshots at their car after they complained about their meal.
James Marshall Phillips and Destin McMahon said they were unhappy with the food at Wazzabi Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar in Winter Park Village, near Orlando. One of the men paid and the other did not, saying he would not pay for what he did not eat, WTSP reported.
Phillips and McMahon told the TV news station Wazzabi owner Quoc Trong Trang and a few staff members then chased them out of the restaurant, beat dents into their car and fired two shots. A single bullet struck the trunk of the car, but Phillips and McMahon were uninjured, WTSP said.
Police arrested and charged Tran with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and another employee with criminal mischief. Police said Tran told them he shot at the car because he feared the customers would run him over, according to WTSP. Phillips and McMahon were not charged with any crime.

Cash For Houses In Charlotte – How Much Can You Get For Your House?

Here What Others Say About Us…
Marla Agner
Rita Stokes
"Quite often investors are willing to pay cash for a home and with the recent tightening of financial restrictions, coupled with the growing number of complaints about low appraisals, having a cash buyer has become even more appealing."
Kenneth K.
"When my mother passed away, her house was in poor condition. I contacted one company that bought "ugly houses" and they offered an unacceptable low price. I received a letter from Fair House Offer and they agreed to look at. After some friendly negotiations, they offered a price that was almost double the previous company offer. The transaction was painless. Fair Housing took care of all the details. Even when some complications came up, they assisted and resolved the issue. We didn't even have to clean the house or dispose of things in the house that we didn't want. I highly recommend them. They were professional and courteous." -January 2016
Tonya Parks
"I needed to sell my home immediately and Ashley at Swing Real Estate was able to find an immediate solution that remedied a very stressful situation. He was very professional and very kindly walked me through the whole process. I would definitely recommend Ashley and Swing Real Estate." - June 2016Angela Johnson
"Highly recommend! They bought our house fast and made the transaction very simple. The attorney mailed us the documents we needed to sign and also wired the funds when everything was complete. If you want to sell fast contact Fair House Offer and Swing Real Estate today" -December 2015Randall R
Theo B."I was in need of selling my house fast and contacted Fair House Offer and Swing Real Estate. They were professional and responded very quickly. I got a fair offer and could not be happier! I recommend Fair House Offer and Swing Real Estate to anyone looking to selling their property hassle free and quickly."
John Michael
"Thank you very much for everything. The bank was giving me trouble when my sister and I were trying to sell our late mother's house. Fair House Offer fought for us with the bank for 5 months and once everything was resolved they kept their word and purchased our mother's house. It was a stressful time but Fair House Offer was their to help us." - August 2015Michael R.
"Use them! My wife and I contacted Fair House Offer and spoke with Ashley. He was very professional and heard our situation. He listened and we were able to sell our house in a couple of weeks at a good price. I recommend them and could not be more please with how responsive they are." - October 2015Kevin F.
"I cannot thank your company enough for helping me solve my real estate problems. I was behind on my mortgage payments, received a notice of default and needed someone to close quickly. Fair House Offer actually made up all of my back payments and continued to pay my mortgage which has helped me re-establish my credit. I cannot thank you enough." - September 2015Wendy S.
"I had a very stressful and complicated Real Estate problem whereby I owed much more than my house was worth and as a result could not sell my property. I could not afford to make the mortgage payments either. Fair House Offer stepped in and took over payments and allowed my family and I to get from under the stress that house was causing us. I am very appreciative of Fair House Offer and recommend them to anyone going through a similar situation." -July 2015Harold G.
"I needed to sell my house fast and did not have time to have it sit on the market, nor did I have the money to make the repairs needed. I contacted Fair House Offer and they gave me a more than fair price for the house! I was able to get the money I wanted for the house and be able to be close to my mother. I recommend Fair House Offer to any one wanting or needing to sell their house quick. They are truly professionals." - February 2016James J. W.
"It was nice doing business with you. Although I was somewhat skeptical at first, there was a peacefulness inside "saying go for it"! Moving through the process encouraged me. This was a learning and pleasurable experience; I'm elated with the end results...Thank you and your associates for responding so promptly. Be Blessed, Be Inspired!" -January 2016Melva H.
"I would recommend Fair House Offer and Swing Real Estate to any and everyone. I was going through a tough situation and was about to lose my property to the bank. Fair House Offer allowed me to put a substantial amount of money in my pocket and start over fresh without having a foreclosure on my credit report." – April 2014Beverly H.
"I called Fair House Offer and they came over to look at the house right away. They gave me a very fair offer. I needed to sell quickly and we were able to close in 9 days. Ashley with Fair House Offer also arranged for them to help move my belongings since I did not have any many family or friends to help me with the large, heavy furniture. I highly recommend Fair House Offer and Ashley to anyone looking to sell their house fast and at a fair price." - June 2015Talisha W.

Today is End the Word day. I'm pretty sure that if we can wipe polio off the map, we should be able to stop spreading the word retarded around, too.
He's why. His brothers and sister are why. My little sister is why. Every kid and every family of every kid who has to live with the reality of how hard physically, socially, and emotionally being actually, really physically or mentally delayed/retarded is, they're the reason we have to think about the language we use, and teach our children to do the same.
That little boy up there sat up and looked out a window all by himself yesterday. That is the single biggest accomplishment of his life so far, besides you know, surviving. That's why not tossing retarded around like it's some flippant joke matters. We may have freedom of speech, but we also are able to, you know, sit up whenever we want. Power/Responsibility.
It isn't enough to just not say that word anymore. You wanna end war n' stuff, you gotta sing loud. The symptoms of the disease range from flippantness and callousness to racism and bigotry, but the disease itself is fear and ignorance, and it is super contagious. You can actually carry it and pass it to people and and not even know you're doing it. If we want to eradicate this word and the disease that it is leached onto, we have to make sure our childrens' comfort zones and social circles expand well beyond that which they see in a mirror. We have to make sure that they know other children, ones who aren't abled as they are, ones who aren't colored as they are, ones who don't dress or eat or pray or talk as they do.
You make it personal for your kid, and he will defend it to the death. Kids are way cool like that. You once explain to a kid where the N word came from and he will forever take head-smashing on school buses by thugs who say it, because he will stand up and shame the hell out of said thug. You introduce your kids to their fake Canadian cousin Jumby and they will forever stand up and stop anyone who they hear say the r-word like it's a joke, and not a war their family member fights and wins every day.
My kids are healthy, mentally and physically and I know exactly how lucky I am for absolutely no reason at all to be able to say that, so it's my duty to make sure that my children, my family, each of us show respect and love with our words, thoughts, and actions. Not saying one totally insignificant word is a teensy price to pay for that cause. And if we can't think of a better one, one that doesn't make a mockery the heroic, brave, beautiful lives of children like my fake Canadian nephew, or my little sister? Well then, there's only one thing left for you to do.

How to Step Through Debugging an R Function
You can step through a function after you tell R you want to debug it using the debug() function. From then on, R will switch to the browser mode every time that function is called from anywhere in R, until you tell R explicitly to stop debugging or until you overwrite the function by sourcing it again.
To turn on stepping through the debug of the function, use debug(logit)
To stop debugging a function, you simply use undebug(logit).
If you want to step through a function only once, you can use the function debugonce() instead of debug(). R will go to browser mode the next time the function is called, and only that time — so you don't need to use undebug() to stop debugging.
If you try the function logitpercent() again after running the code debug(logit), you see the following:
> logitpercent('50%') debugging in: logit(as.numeric(x)) debug at D:/RForDummies/Ch10/logitfunc.R#2: { x <- ifelse(x < 0 | x > 1, "NA", x) log(x/(1 - x)) } Browse[2]>
You see that the prompt changed. It now says Browse[2]. This prompt tells you that you're browsing inside a function.
The number indicates at which level of the call stack you're browsing at that moment. Remember from the output of the traceback() function that the logit() function occurred as the second function on the call stack. That's the number 2 in the output above.
The additional text above the changed prompt gives you the following information:
The line from where you called the function — in this case, the line logit(as.numeric(x)) from the logitpercent() function
The file or function that you debug — in this case, the file logitfunc.R, starting at the second line
Part of the code you're about to browse through

What causes back pain? There are the obvious things, from poor posture, stress and excess weight to muscle and ligament strain and bulging or herniated spinal discs. But you might be surprised to learn that eating a high-fat, high-sugar diet and smoking (yes, smoking) can trigger back trouble too, says Daniel Mazanec, MD, the associate director of the Center for Spine Health at the Cleveland Clinic.
A sudden flare-up of back pain that lasts a few days to a few weeks is considered an acute episode, while pain that continues for three months or more is labeled chronic. In both cases, the level of pain can range from mild to severe. Either way, back pain isn't something that you have to grin and bear, says Dr. Mazanec. In fact, even if you have structural problems with your back (such as spinal stenosis or scoliosis), you can take steps to reduce your pain, and even prevent it from coming back. Your best bet for a healthy back: living an active lifestyle that allows you to develop a strong core, reducing the amount of inflammatory foods you eat (see The Healthy Back Diet) and taking steps to manage stressors in your life.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the first time since 2007, the Crimson men's water polo team will compete at the Men's Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Eastern Championship. Harvard will also serve as the host institution for the 40th annual playing of the event Nov. 18-20.
The Field
Teams qualified for the Eastern Championship by placing in the top four of the Northern or Southern Division Championship. Each entrant is seeded based on its finish at its division championship, with St. Francis, Brown, Iona and Harvard representing the North and Navy, Princeton, Bucknell and Johns Hopkins representing the South. Click here for the complete schedule.
What's at Stake?
Seven teams will see its season come to an end at Blodgett Pool, while the Eastern Champion will advance to the NCAA Championships Dec. 3-4 at the Spieker Aquatics Center on the campus of California-Berkeley.
Find Your Seat
Weekend passes and single day tickets will be available for purchase. General admission tickets are priced at $25 for a weekend pass and $13 for a single day. Harvard students and staff receive a discounted rate as a weekend pass is valued at $12, while a single-day ticket can be purchased for $5.
Watch From Home
For fans unable to attend this weekend's action, a live video stream will be available to purchase through the CWPA. A weekend pass can be acquired for $25, while single games will be available for $10/game. Click here to view the CWPA's streaming page.
Last Year's Eastern Champion
St. Francis (N.Y.) won a pair of games decided by one goal against Johns Hopkins and Bucknell, before downing Navy, 8-4, in the 2010 Men's CWPA Eastern Championship. Last year's Northern Division No. 1 seed advanced to the NCAA Championship, where it lost to Southern California, 10-7, and Loyola Marymount, 9-7, to finish in fourth place.
Harvard's Last Appearance
The Crimson has not qualified for the Eastern Championship since 2007, when the squad finished third at the Northern Championship. Harvard started the 2007 Eastern Championship with a 9-7 win over Johns Hopkins behind four goals from Bret Voith '11, brother of current volunteer assistant John Voith '07, including two in the final frame to help the Crimson pull away with the victory. After an 18-6 loss to St. Francis (N.Y.) in the semifinal, Harvard fell to George Washington, 7-5, to finish in third place.
The Crimson
Harvard (9-18, 1-5 CWPA Northern) qualified for the Eastern Championship after finishing in fourth place at the Northern Division Championship. The Crimson, the North's No. 6 seed, used three goals in overtime and a hat trick from Mike Katzer to upset No. 3 seed MIT, 11-10, in the first round. Harvard was guaranteed at least a fourth-place finish and berth at the Eastern Championship after getting past MIT, but the final two games of the tournament determined seeding at Easterns. The Crimson fell to Brown, 18-9, in the semifinal and Iona, 13-11, in the third-place game to attain the No. 4 seed.
A Colorful First Round
The Crimson opens with Navy (22-6, 5-3 CWPA Southern-East), the Southern Division champion, in the first round.
The Midshipmen won four games at the CWPA Southern Division Championship and enter the Eastern Championship on a six-game winning streak. Navy avenged two regular-season losses to Princeton by beating the Tigers, 10-5, in the Southern Championship Game Nov. 6.
Navy owns a 24-2 all-time advantage in the series history with the Crimson. The institutions have split two contests at the CWPA Eastern Championships in the last ten years with Harvard picking up a 5-3 win in 2001 and Navy taking a 10-5 decision in 2004.
Luka Leading the Way
Senior Luka Babic was named to the CWPA Northern Division Player of the Week Honor Roll each of the last two weeks after putting up impressive numbers at the Ivy Championship and CWPA Northern Division Championship. The co-captain, who tallied 11 scores before Oct. 29, has found the back of the cage in five of the last six games and totaled 10 goals in that span. Babic has also contributed nine assists and seven steals in the past two tournaments.
Lucky Number 13
Senior goalie Alexandre Popp had a huge weekend during the CWPA Northern Division Championships. The Palo Alto, Calif., native stopped 13 shots in each of the tournament's three games, marking the first time this season he has accumulated double-digit saves in three consecutive contests.

Florida legislators suggest a state ban on offshore drilling
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Two state representatives are calling for an amendment to the Florida Constitution that would ban oil and gas drilling in state-controlled waters off the coast, and Gov. Charlie Crist said Thursday he is open to the idea.
State Reps. Keith Fitzgerald, D-Sarasota, and Rick Kriseman, D-St. Petersburg, proposed a special session of the Florida Legislature to prepare a referendum that would allow voters to decide this fall whether to amend the state Constitution with a drilling ban.
Banned would be exploration, drilling, extraction and production beneath Florida waters, the two said as they stood along the beach at the Grand Beach Resort on St. Pete Beach here.
They urged that the issue be put before voters on the November ballot.
Crist's office said the governor would consider calling a special session.
Florida law already bans drilling in state-controlled waters, but Democratic legislators want to make the ban permanent with the state's coastlines being threatened by oil gushing from a sunken drill rig off the coast of Louisiana.
State waters extend three miles into the Atlantic Ocean and 10.35 miles into the Gulf of Mexico. Some Republican legislators have supported drilling within three miles of shore for temporary rigs and six miles for permanent rigs.
Federal law bans drilling within 125 miles of Florida, but before the Louisiana spill, Democratic President Barack Obama called for lowering that limit.
"We're proposing to drive a stake through the heart of this particularly bad idea, and end it once and for all," Fitzgerald said.
He went on to explain that he and Kriseman over the years have proposed a variety of bills encouraging renewable forms of energy that would lessen reliance on fossil fuels, such as oil and gas. But most have failed in the Republican-dominated legislature, he said.
He contended there is no reason why the Sunshine State cannot be a leader in renewable energy.
Already backing the proposal is state CFO and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Alex Sink, the two lawmakers announced at the end of the press conference.
Sink said in a press release that she has seen the BP oil spill up close.
"This evidence proves that near-beach drilling in Florida is a disastrous idea — we must never let oil companies drill just three miles off our beaches," she said.
Florida House Speaker Pro Tempore Ron Reagan, R-Bradenton, when asked his opinion of Fitzgerald and Kriseman's proposal, said, "I think it's definitely got everybody's attention now.
"I think we've proven we've got to be cautious and careful," he added, noting that at the same time, "We can't ignore our energy needs."
If Crist calls a special session, Reagan added, "I don't have a problem with it."
Asked what chance the proposal might have, Reagan replied: "I can't see it happening. It's a nice publicity-getter."
But Reagan said he might vote for a bill to put a referendum on the ballot.
"We're talking only about what we've got control over, a limited area, up to 10 miles or so" in the Gulf, he said. "I would probably vote for it, at that point."
Reagan in the past has said he is conflicted over liberalizing oil drilling, but didn't think anything 1o0 or more miles offshore would be harmful to Florida.
State Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, said she would not support a call for a special session.
"I wouldn't get the point of why we would hold a special session. I think we will be dealing with oil drilling next session, and by that time, we'll have a better picture of how much is the clean-up costs, and who's changed their minds about drilling," she said.
"The people who visited us told us this couldn't happen — they had shut-off valves that would automatically shut it off if there was any kind of leak," she added. "A special session would be a waste of taxpayers' dollars at this point."

Converse's "The Canvas Experiment" was just that: take a 4m x 5m canvas, put 480 pairs of Chuck Taylor All Star sneakers on it then play a game of Space Invaders.
Admittedly, it sounds better in theory than it looks in practice, the "screen" making things pretty tough to see, but then, you can make concessions for clarity when your screen is made out of shoes.

A reader, who we will protect from the worst Mafia ever by not naming, sent us this e-mail. We're goofy-happy. Suck on that LA Times (except for Dan Neil, who we pledge undying fealty to — speaking of that, our check's late this month, Dan).
Wow, small world. I live in [state redacted for his protection] and was on springbreak vacation with my kids down in the Beverly Hills area when I saw the crash and confiscation about his cars. I grow up with him in Uppsala, Sweden, we went to school together, Eriksbergs school (high school) and we also went to grade school together. He was put in a special class for rowdy kids.
He was a thief and a bully back then. My brother who still lives in Sweden has sent me many clips of Stefans life over the years. Drug dealing, running a mafia ring, He started he criminal career when he was in middle school. Anyone who knows him from back then in the 70's, would know how he got his cars, money etc. I wouldn't think he ever had a job in his life. A few months ago I found an old school picture/poster taken from the roof of our highschool with all students in it. And there he was...... Small world

>>>full All-PBC
CARTHAGE, N.C. - Primed with a win in their last regular-season tournament and a No. 2 National Ranking in the Nike Golf/Golf World Division II poll, the Georgia College & State University golf squad and head coach Jimmy Wilson head to the Little River Resort in Carthage, N.C. for the 2009 Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Championship, hosted by UNC Pembroke.
Play begins tomorrow, April 20 continuing to April 21. The Bobcats are armed with the second-best scoring average in the league, behind national No. 1 Columbus State University. GCSU owns a 289.8 with the Cougars just 0.9 strokes ahead.
The Bobcats pursue their first PBC title since 2000, with two All-PBC selections in their starting five. Junior Niclas Johansson (Skanor, Sweden) and sophomore Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) each picked up their second All-PBC honor at an awards banquet Sunday evening.
Johansson leads the Bobcats with a 71.8 stroke average. Of his nine events, eight have garnered top-20 finishes, including six top-10s and three in the top five.
Young posted a 72.6 average this season with five top-20 finishes in eight starts. Young also had two top-five finishes. The Bobcats are one of two PBC schools to get two players on the eight-member All-PBC Team.
Junior Pedro C. Lima (Sao Paulo, Brazil) had a 73.5 during the season with four top-20 finishes.

From: NJ, United States
Wiser Time was formed in 2002 by singer/songwriter/guitarist, Carmen Sclafani, in the small town of Millington, New Jersey, USA, just outside of New York City. Sclafani had been working in art and design during the days, while performing in coffee-houses and clubs of New Jersey and New York during the evenings, becoming a fixture in the local music scene.
Sclafani had a love of the classic Rock and Roll sounds of 60s and 70s bands, and he began writing and recording material that would eventually become Wiser Time's first full-length album, "There And Back Again," in the fall of 2006. The album was primarily a studio effort, with Sclafani and producer Anthony Krizan (Lenny Kravitz, Spin Doctors) covering the majority of the playing. While "There And Back Again" clearly pointed to Sclafani's Rock and Roll roots, it also managed to feel like a modern-day record in current times. The album was received well and radio stations began playing it. Sclafani continued to perform throughout the New Jersey/New York area, as well as stops across the United States to the California coast.
While in support of "There And Back Again," Sclafani met drummer Steve Decker who became a member of the backing band in 2007. Wiser Time's second full-length album, "All For One," was recorded and released on February 1, 2008 and was a raw and emotional album that was heavily influenced by the weight of the times.
Sclafani also spent time exploring some of his earlier folk work, and was inspired to write and record a selection of stripped-down songs including the acoustic ballad, "Looking For Bob Dylan" and the emotional "What You Give - Unplugged."
In 2009, lead guitarist Jimmy Somma was welcomed as a member of the band. Sclafani began work on Wiser Time's third full-length album with engineer and producer, Tom Camuso (Steve Earle, Medeski, Martin and Wood) in Brooklyn, NY. The sessions would be titled "Beggars And Thieves," and became a three-day recording celebration that chronicled Sclafani's life and some of the events that took place on the road. "Beggars And Thieves" was released on February 12, 2010.
The album received national radio play and reached #46 on the Americana Music Charts. Jim Hynes of Elmore Magazine wrote, "the easy, unpretentious feel of the music exudes a celebratory spirit," ** and Jamie Hailstone of Blues Matters hailed the album as "a masterclass in good old-fashioned back porch rock, guaranteed to bring a smile to any fan of classic rock and roll." ***
In 2012, Sclafani began work on a written word and audio EP titled, "XII" with renowned guitarist and producer Chuck Hammer (Lou Reed, David Bowie) contributing to the instrumental introduction.

A new national poll by the University of Massachusetts Lowell finds that nearly a quarter of millennials would prefer to see a meteor strike Earth than either of the major 2016 presidential candidates in the White House.
The Millenials Poll, a joint effort by UMass Lowell and Odyssey, released on Tuesday, was conducted Oct. 10 through 13 and asked Americans ages 18 to 35 about their attitudes and opinions on the upcoming election. Questions covered irreverent options about the candidates as well as serious issues such as race relations, immigration and the legalization of marijuana.
Respondents were asked to choose their preference in the race for president, with Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump 61-22, with Gary Johnson at 9 percent and Jill Stein at 5 percent.
Clinton also fared well up against Trump, a random lottery to choose the president from all American citizens, President Barack Obama appointing himself to a life term or a giant meteor striking Earth and extinguishing all human life. Thirty-three percent of respondents ranked her first, followed by Obama staying in the White House for life at 27 percent. Trump's 16 percent just edged out the meteor and the lottery, which pulled 12 percent each.
But when asked about their preference a different way, the poll found that 39 percent of those surveyed said they preferred Obama serve a life term over either a Clinton or a Trump presidency. Twenty-six percent prefer a random lottery to choose the next president over the two leading candidates winning and 23 percent (nearly 1 in 4) prefer a giant meteor strike to them.
"We do not take our respondents at their word that they are earnestly interested in seeing the world end, but we do take their willingness to rank two constitutional crises and a giant meteor ahead of these two candidates with startling frequency as a sign of displeasure and disaffection with the candidates and the 2016 election," said Prof. Joshua Dyck, co-director of UMass Lowell's Center for Public Opinion, who wrote and analyzed the independent, nonpartisan poll, in a statement.
The poll was based on responses from nearly 1,250 people and has a margin of error of 3.2 percent, which rises to 4.3 percent for likely voters.

|The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission in cooperation with the N.C. Center for Geographic Information and Analysis developed the WRC DPMTW digital data to enhance planning and management of trout streams. The data depict the trout regulations in effect on trout streams managed under the DPMTW program as listed in the 1997-98 North Carolina Inland Fishing, Hunting & Trapping Regulations Digest (Effective July 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998). This file enables the user to identify the regulations in effect through a color coding system that reflects the foreground color of signs posted along the streams. The file also reveals whether or not the streams are located on public lands (game lands). Publically accessible lands data were derived from Federal lands files, North Carolina game lands files, and data digitized from private ownership maps. Plans are to update these maps as changes occur. These maps are provided as a guide to trout waters and users should refer to the current Regulations Digest to confirm regulations in effect. This data layer was created to map existing waters managed under the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission's Designated Public Mountain Trout Waters program for management and public information purposes. Output files were used to print an agency publication entitled "North Carolina Trout Fishing Maps". This publication went on sale to the public in 1997.

Regulatory Information
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials materials are commonly used in processing equipment and products requiring various types of regulatory agency compliance. We routinely work with these agencies to assure the widest variety of our products are recognized as being compliant -- giving designers the broadest selection of candidate materials.
A brief overview of the six most common agencies is provided below. Additionally, we have specific product listings with Underwriters Laboratories (UL), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), ASTM and many global manufacturers.
Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials can work with customers to develop unique product/quality specifications requiring testing, inspection and certifications. Such requests should be directed to Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Engineering Plastic at 1-800-366-0310.
FDA (Food & Drug Administration) takes responsibility for determining whether and how manufactured materials may be used in contact with food products. Definitions for proper use are found in a series of regulations published annually under Government Regulations CFR 21. The FDA provides certain specifications regarding composition, additives, and properties. A material which meets these standards can then be stated as FDA COMPLIANT. End-users should note that it is their responsibility to use the product in a manner compatible with FDA guidelines. There are also approvals which may comply with the Food Contact Notification (FCN) of the American Food and Drug Administration of effective premarket notifications for Food and Contact Substances (FCS).
USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) has jurisdiction over equipment used in federally inspected meat and poultry processing plants, and over packaging materials used for such products. Materials used in this equipment are approved on an individual basis. Determining suitability for use of components and the materials from which they are made is the responsibility of the equipment manufacturer. On request, Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials will supply a "letter of guarantee" for a Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials product listed as USDA compliant. This letter certifies that the material meets applicable FDA criteria. Supporting documentation as may be required by the Food Safety Inspection Service of USDA, is also available.
keyboard_arrow_downCanada AG
Food Production and Inspection Branch of the Canadian Government is the Canadian government agency equivalent to the USDA. As with the USDA, plastic materials are approved per material for a group of related applications, such as Acetron® GP acetal (material) for meat and poultry processing (application).
3A-Dairy is a voluntary organization that provides standards of construction for milk, cheese, butter and ice cream processing equipment.
The organization covers the requirements of plastic materials for multiple-use as product contact surfaces in equipment for production, processing, and handling of milk and milk products. The criteria for approval of plastic materials are specified in 3A standard 20 latest revision, and include: cleanability, bacterial treatment, repeat use conditions, and FDA compliance. Materials are tested for compliance by the material supplier. Supporting documentation must be available as required by a food inspector.
NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) sets standards for all direct and indirect drinking water additives. Manufacturers who provide equipment displaying the NSF symbol have applied to the NSF for device approval to a specific standard. The approval is issued for the finished product (device) in a specific use (application). To obtain device approval, all components within the device must comply with the Standard. Establishing compliance of the equipment's components can be accomplished in one of two ways:
- The component has been tested to the Standard by the component supplier and is certified as such.
- The equipment manufacturer must supply documentation that the component meets the Standard, If any testing is required, it must be completed by the equipment manufacturer.
The NSF maintains numerous standards. Two standards which we frequently encounter and to which some of our products have been tested are:
- 51 Plastics in Food Equipment
- 61 Drinking Water System Components-Health Effects
keyboard_arrow_downUL Form 0
Very similar to NSF STD 51, although requires more direct support from the raw material supplier.
keyboard_arrow_downUSP Class VI
USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia) Class VI judges the suitability of plastic material intended for use as containers or accessories for parenteral preparations. Suitability under USP Class VI is typically a base requirement for medical device manufacturers. Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials manufactures a range of materials designed for use in Life Science applications. This range is identified as Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials LSG (Life Science Grade). To learn more, download Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials Materials for Life Science Applications.

It's not over yet for Richards, who can make the team as part of the "final five" balloting. Richards will face off against four other American League starters in a banner year for pitching in the AL. Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox, Rick Porcello of the Detroit Tigers, Dallas Keuchel of the Houston Astros and Corey Kluber of the Cleveland Indians are the others vying for the last spot. For Richards to make it Angels fans will need a big showing in the online balloting. In addition to the final five balloting Richards is an option to be selected to the game should a starter drop out because they're scheduled to pitch next Sunday. Richards pitches on Friday night versus the Texas Rangers, giving him the fight amount of rest to pitch in Tuesday's game.
Shortstop Erick Aybar made a solid case for his first All-Star selection. The veteran Angels shortstop is having the best hitting season of his career, to go along with his usual outstanding glove work. Aybar leads all American League shortstops in runs batted in. There was not a backup selected at shortstop. Derek Jeter, who won the fan balloting in his final season, will likely play the entire game at shortstop.

The Laurent House is like no other home-turned-museum in Rockford that pays homage to the families that lived in them.
It opens to the public as a museum on Saturday and is the third such museum here. The others are Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum & Gardens and the Erlander Home Museum.
I've visited all three, and here are a few observations:
The Laurent House's big claim to fame is that it was designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the late 1940s and is the only house he designed to be accessible to people with disabilities. So, it's a one-story home. And it is comparatively smaller than Tinker or Erlander, both two-stories with basements built in the mid-1800s.
The 2,600-square-foot Laurent House is minimalist and sleek, with built-in cabinets and drawers. The space is open, without walls between the kitchen and living areas. A 50-foot-long wall of windows is a big feature.
The Erlander and Tinker homes were built in or around the Victorian era, though Tinker more resembles a Swiss chalet with overhanging eaves. The rooms and windows in each house are comparatively smaller, and the architecture more ornate than the Laurent House at 4646 Spring Brook Road.
"They're different architectural styles," Leah Nelson told me, comparing the Erlander and Laurent homes. She is a member of the board of the Laurent House Foundation, which owns and operates the Laurent House. She also is a member of the Swedish Historical Society, which owns and operates the Erlander home.
Wright's style is "so horizontal," she said. "A Victorian house is so fussy."
Erlander is packed with more than 3,000 items, including a collection of handmade dolls wearing costumes from 27 provinces in Sweden. Linens and rugs of many types are displayed.
Tinker, with its 22 rooms, displays a half-dozen pieces of wood furniture, including coffee tables and chairs, made from roots gathered from neighboring Kent Creek. Clothes, letters, dishes and artwork also pack the place.
The Rockford Park District owns the Tinker property at 411 Kent St. Tinker owns the artifacts inside, much of which was owned by Robert and Mary Tinker, who built their house. Robert was a former Rockford mayor. He married Mary, widow of John H. Manny, who invented a reaper to harvest crops. Tinker gets about 12,000 visitors a year, said Steve Litteral, executive director.
John Erlander was a furniture maker. His wife, Mary, was an artist who painted borders in their home at 404 S. Third St. About 3,000 people a year visit the Erlander Home, Nelson said.
Wright designed the Laurent House for Kenneth Laurent, a factory statistician who used a wheelchair, and his wife, Phyllis, a retail store operator. Both died in 2012. Furniture that Wright designed for the house is on display, as well as documents and letters written between the Laurents and Wright.
"Erlander tells a story for fans of Swedish heritage," said John Groh, president and chief executive officer of the Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Tinker is very unique, exotic, inspired by what (Robert Tinker) found in travels in Europe.
"The Laurent House is mid-century design and the only Frank Lloyd Wright house in Winnebago County."
And all are worth checking out.

There are all kinds of fancy salts out there for you to blow your paycheck on. Confession: I own many of them.
Thankfully, one of my favorite salts is one that I make at home. Vanilla salt couldn't be easier to prepare, and the end result is lovely. I have two methods for creating vanilla salt, yielding different yet equally delightful results. I am sharing both methods with you; try each one and see which fits you best. I use my vanilla salt in baked goods, with fruit, over roasted sweet potatoes or squash, sprinkled over chocolaty desserts, or with roasted or grilled meats (helloooooo pork and chicken). I think you'll like it too. If you decorate the jar with a cute label and a bit of ribbon, you have a wonderful homemade gift.
Vanilla beans are über-expensive if you buy them one-by-one or in small quantities. The trick is to buy a big bag and split the cost with a friend. A fellow foodie and I split the cost of this 1/2 pound bag of vanilla beans. We each ended up with about 30 beans for only about $13 per person. Sweet deal, right?

Demons dreaming,
Surround me as I wake;
Oh give me serenity,
Nightmares creep and ache.
Falling from a mind overwhelmed,
By imagination on overdrive;
Let my mind be at peace,
Let the demons finally cease.
No understanding have I,
Why the demons we slaughter,
Are always the same sin.
I defeated you before,
But you come back for more;
The snake, loathsome reptile,
From Eden you did break.
Losing tiny snake legs,
To strike a woman's heel.
How dare you come back,
To bring me down again.
I pray you keep your distance;
You keep moving closer.
Claustrophobia, panic,
Praying you don't turn me to granite;
Pulling out my weapons,
I'll battle Medusa harder still.
You can see the braided,
Depths of my scars;
We know each other well old foe,
But I won't go down pleading;
I have light in my armour,
Not the kind which normal snakes like;
The kind which burns,
Makes snakes writhe for life.
Pain will be your only friend,
Old foe; you fight the same.
Each and every time I return,
I don't know why I turned my back on you;
Those not weary do not see,
The enemy coming up behind,
A dagger piercing my back; my heart.
A knock to my head; concussions blind;
But I heal fast, and I heal stronger.
Building my muscles each movement,
I recover; blood may flow,
And I hurt all the same;
What's worse, I can't blame you for all,
I do this to myself.
Will you ever learn stupid girl?
When are you no longer a frightened child?
There are no excuses to justify my crimes;
I know what is right and yet,
Time and again I find my foe and fight.
A battle with motions memorized,
A continual siege; I win and lose.
Pound you into the ground,
Poison you with your potent venom;
But you bounce back and reform,
Taking on another sin,
To challenge me for awhile;
Making it sound excellent,
That such a rest wouldn't be exuberant.
If I'm smart I liquefy you;
Your blood and more stain the ground.
But since I'm human,
I complicate the issues.
And there are days I pause,
To be attacked and left weaponless,
Filled with panic and worry,
Wandering the valley as the poison seeps deep.
Only in the coming of dawn do I delight,
Fortitude returns and I smile small,
Learning my lesson,
Time and time again.
Experience keeps teaching despite,
A woman who continues to decide who she is;
Not knowing, not realizing,
Life is a gory battle, no one escapes.
The scar tissue builds upon scars;
Wounds of war are often the worst,
When we are not expecting them.
Pulling the dagger from my own back;
It's a pain I hate to remember vividly.
But I got up;
And I walked on.
Feeling the dawn heal me;
As I kept on the road.
To another traveller I might seem,
A terrified, desperate girl.
Yet more often I see the same look in another's eyes;
The knowledge of heart break, repentance, and experience.
A cycle doomed to repeat until we've finally learned;
Bigger hands than ours must deal the blows.
Hands which hold,
Entirety of unknown and known universes;
Hands which cradle the world.

How to Activate Siri on Your iPhone 4S
When you first set up the iPhone 4S, you have the option of turning on Siri. If you did so, you're good to go. If you didn't, tap Setting→General→Siri and flip the switch so that On is showing. (If you do turn Siri off on the 4S, it effectively turns Voice Control on.)
To call Siri into action, press and hold the Home button until you hear a tone and then start talking. The bottom of the screen shows a picture of a microphone inside a circle:
The question, "What can I help you with?" appears on the screen.
Alternatively, when the screen isn't locked, bring the phone up to your ear and wait for that same tone, and then talk. Siri also responds when you press a button on a Bluetooth headset. If you're concerned about Siri intruding when you raise the phone up to your ear to make a call, head to Settings to turn the Raise to Speak feature off.
What happens next is up to you. You can ask a wide range of questions or issue voice commands. If you didn't get your words out fast enough or you were misunderstood, tap the microphone icon and try again.
Siri relies on voice recognition and artificial intelligence. She'll respond in a conversational (if slightly robotic) manner. But using Siri isn't entirely a hands-free experience. Spoken words are supplemented by information on the iPhone screen.
Siri seeks answers from the web using sources such as Yelp and WolframAlpha. She taps into Location Services on the phone. And Siri works with numerous apps on the 4S: Phone, Mail, Safari, Music, Messages, Calendar, Reminders, Maps, Weather, Stocks, Notes, Clock, and Contacts.
Indeed, from your contacts, Siri might be able to determine who your spouse, coworkers, and friends are, as well as knowing where you live. You might ask, "How do I get home from here?" and Siri will fire up Maps to help you on your way. Or you can ask, "Find a good Italian restaurant near Barbara's house," and Siri will serve up a list, sorted by Yelp rating.
Siri requires Internet access. A lot of factors go into its accuracy, including surrounding noises and unfamiliar accents.

In Chris Paul's eyes, Game 4 on Sunday against the Oklahoma City Thunder carries the utmost importance for his Clippers.
"It's a must win for us, a big game for us," Paul said late Friday night after the Clippers lost Game 3 at Staples Center to the Thunder, 118-112.
The Clippers trail the Thunder in the best-of-seven Western Conference playoff series, two games to one.
If the Clippers don't win Game 4 on Sunday at Staples Center, they'll return to Oklahoma City for Game 5 on Tuesday with their season on the brink.
That's why Paul called it a must-win game on Sunday.
The Clippers won Game 1 in Oklahoma City on Monday, but they have lost the last two playoff games to the Thunder.
"We knew that we were going to have to win at least one there and now we're going to have to win two there," Paul said. "But we need to start off with a Game 4 win here at home."

New Technical Woes Hobble Health-Insurance Sign-Ups at Zero Hour
Problems Likely Mean More Americans Will Enroll After Deadline
New problems in the federal health-insurance website stymied some of the hundreds of thousands of Americans trying to sign up at the last minute, prompting health plans and officials to brace for the complex task of enrolling people after Monday's official deadline.
The HealthCare.gov site for 36 states that have about 33 million uninsured people went down shortly after midnight Sunday and remained unusable until about 7:45 a.m. EDT Monday, a person familiar with the matter said. It was hit by a second problem around noon...
