About the Event:
Agricultural development has come to a crossroads. Nearly a half-century after the Green Revolution, a large share of the human family is still chronically hungry. At the same time, investments in agricultural development by governments, international lenders, and foundations are at historic lows. But recently, a new generation of innovative approaches to hunger alleviation has emerged from farmers groups, private voluntary organizations, universities, and agribusiness companies.
Please join the pioneers of environmentally sustainable agriculture practices for an afternoon briefing that will explore the innovative next steps required to create a sustainable food system.
*Please RSVP by January 12, 2011 to email@example.com or call Amanda Stone at (+1) 202.452.1992 ext 514.

Double dipping: 'Safe' Halloween = twice the treats
You can't think of fall and not think about Halloween. I can remember planning my costume months before and bursting with excitement at the thought of the mounds of candy I would haul in.
One wild year, my adolescent friends and I smashed pumpkins, toilet-papered trees, and threw eggs at cars. Then, suddenly, I was too old for it all.
So Saturday, October 25, when Charlottesville's Recreation and Leisure Services hosted the Downtown Safe Halloween Festival, was a nostalgic event for me. The all-daylight affair provided a safe alternative to heading out on Halloween night.
While shop owners and organizers handed out candy, kids one to twelve got to enjoy big air-filled slides and bouncy rooms. City police were on hand to fingerprint kids for their safety. [For a view on fear-mongering, see page 63.–editor.]
At 1:30, a costume contest in the amphitheater let the kids strut their stuff. In addition to generic witches and vampires, some kids (or their parents) got creative with Greek gods, dragons, and basketball heads.
In a way, the Downtown Safe Halloween Festival is like opening your presents a week before Christmas. While it was great to see swarms of little kids in cute costumes, it just didn't have the same feeling or excitement as the actual night.
If I were still a kid, I'd just see it as way to get free candy twice.
Have a safe and happy Halloween.

About Old Fool
By 'foreign aid', do you mean bribes and Coercion?
There is a massive difference between discovering other countries arms abilities and deployment of forces (that's spying) and listening to EVERY SINGLE PHONE/EMAIL from private individuals. That is just wrong on so many levels.
Who exactly are they 'defending' us from anyway? I would find American paranoia amusing if it did not affect me directly - I pose absolutely no threat to anyone, I would like those in power to stop abusing it, is that considered a threat to anyone?
Scan the documents and put them all on a DVD or CD and put them in your movie/music collection. Better still if you have a CD printer - put an obscure heavy metal band logo on the front.
You just know instinctively when negotiations are held in private, it's going to be bad for the general public.
It realy is annoying when politicians assume we are all stupid enough to believe this nonsense.
Actualy, it's run by Rupert Murdoch. The same guy who runs Fox - I'm sure you see the problem now....
I'm not a huge fan of Hollywood movies, I find it hard to watch movies with unbelievable plots. If I was watching 'Prenda Law - A Tale of Deceit' I would have switched it off by now for being ridiculous. Yet - here it is actually happening. Incredible.
Those grey suits are really becoming, I can see why the Onion called him sexiest leader.
It's almost worth moving to N. Korea to wear one.
Embiggen is a word invented by the Simpsons - it is not an actual word. Enlarge is acceptable, unless you are smurfletariastumblab.
I think it is fairly well established that if we dismantled the internet all crime would end.
We could sack all the police and save billions.
Time to cancel my subscription I guess, don my Pirate hat and get back to downloading again... sigh..
I hate using a wireless mouse. I spent a fortune on a wireless RAT so I could sit on my easy chair and watch Netflix, not too bad for that but utterly shit for gaming.
Have a G9 now - with wires!
After kidnapping Bulgers Venables used a brick to smash Bulgers head in - even at the age of 10 he must have been aware of his actions.
Then they catch him with paedophilia material on several occasions.
The only picture I want to see of him is in the deepest darkest dungeon doing several life sentences.
There are some mathematicians attempting to replace pi with tau.

It's always struck me a odd that we don't have quality of life as an economic measure. After all why would you want money other than to increase the quality of life?
Money is merely a means to an end, and it is not only money but air quality, security, education, freedom, art etc that gives us that 'feel good factor' - and everyone wants to feel good about their lives.

Going on Reddit is like poking a fire ant nest. It can be fun - but be cautious.
I live in England - PLEASE, I beg you, don't send Pierce Morgan back here.
Our quality of life has improved noticeably since we dumped him on you (kinda sorry for that btw). He is one of the very few on this planet with ethics lower than Rupert Murdoch.
Put anyone in charge of a department which produces nothing and you can guarantee they will not come back a little later saying: "You know, you don't really need us, we are inefficient and unnecessary - may as well sack us all". They will almost certainly say "Hey, we are really important, our job is vital and we need more powers and funds".
Humans... Cunning little buggers.
Boris Johnson (our likely next Prime Minister), David Cameron and their ilk live in a different universe to us. I would suggest ignoring the occasional brain fart.
It's not what you know, it's who you know - and they went to Eaton, prep school of the rich and titled.

Commercial, Military, Personal/Corporate, Public Service, Training
By Staff Writer | January 1, 2009
Send Feedback
FlightSafety, the world's foremost aviation training company, greatly expands its rotorcraft training capacity with its newest Learning Center at Lafayette, Louisiana. The new center devotes its efforts exclusively to helicopter safety, providing a broad range of mission-specific training for offshore operations, EMS, law enforcement, newsgathering and more.
"This state-of-the-art facility offers helicopter operators another center of excellence for training dedicated to enhancing safety," says George Ferito, director of rotorcraft business development for FlightSafety. "The center will offer customer-specific, rather than aircraft-specific, training supporting multiple aircraft manufacturer product lines, including Eurocopter. Our training programs will serve all sectors of the industry, including the large and diverse fleet operating in the Gulf."
Lafayette will offer mission-specific training on a fleet of advanced simulators, including both type-specific Level D full flight simulators as well as Level 7 FTDs. FlightSafety is the only training provider employing Level 7, the highest service rating for an FTD, offering maximum training credits.
FlightSafety's next generation of Level 7 FTDs will incorporate the latest visual realism and other components from full flight simulation. The company will deploy these training devices at a number of its Learning Centers during 2009, making cost-effective training available at a range of locations. FlightSafety offers training for models from most major manufacturers, including Sikorsky, Bell, Eurocopter and Agusta. The company provides training at a number of its Learning Centers, including Lafayette; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; West Palm Beach, Florida; and London Farnborough, United Kingdom.
The FlightSafety Helicopter Safety Forum, now in its fifth year, has become a key industry event, presenting the latest thinking about safe operations. The conference, covering all aspects of safety facing the full range of helicopter missions, is set this spring at the Grapevine, Texas Convention Center. It features helicopter operators, representatives of the FAA, insurance companies, industry associations and rotorcraft manufacturers. See rotorsafety.com for details.
FlightSafety, the first to develop Level D-certified full flight rotorcraft simulators, also was the first to offer electric motion and control loading for the most precise and realistic experience possible. The company's VITAL visual systems feature unmatched fidelity, an extensive visual database and a broad range of environmental conditions including brownout and whiteout.
FlightSafety's mission-oriented approach provides a major advantage in rotorcraft training. EMS pilots train to convincing scenarios drawn from real-life challenges. Offshore crews face training scenarios that replicate their specific situation. The company also offers mission-specific training for law enforcement and newsgathering, and programs can be customized to emphasize scenarios specific to any operation.
FlightSafety offers a full complement of specialty training courses to meet helicopter pilots' specific training requirements.
Inadvertent IMC procedures
Night operations
Instrument procedures
EMS flight operations
Law enforcement flight operations
Crew resource management

FlightSafety, the factory-authorized trainer for both Bell and Sikorsky, is dedicated to the safe operation of aircraft through its comprehensive training programs and worldwide network of 40 Learning Centers. More than 75,000 pilots, technicians and other aviation professionals train at FlightSafety facilities each year. The company designs and manufactures full flight simulators for civil, commercial and military aircraft and operates the world's largest fleet of some 230 advanced full flight simulators.

New Vision of Streetwear at DAWEI Fall Winter 2019 during Paris Fashion Week
The DAWEI Studio brand was holding a presentation at the Palais de Tokyo venue. We scheduled an appointment so we could preview the collection. This brand, created by the Chinese designer Dawei Sun, who after studying Fine Arts in China, continued his studies in France at the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. After graduation, he worked for several big fashion houses like CACHAREL, BALENCIAGA and JOHN GALLIANO. Sun had already created a fashion label called BELLE NINON, in pair with Ling LIU. Although he chose to practice solo for his brand EPONYME, with more freedom, with a more masculine DNA, and strong streetwear. For this season of DAWEI Studio, Sun offers us a collection with a wardrobe based on the winter Womenswear's archetypes. These have been reworked using a creative process, in a very graphic way, and with particular care in the choice of fabrics.
The first look is a unique trend from DAWEI. The trompe l'oeil coat merges a fitted dress and a tonal coat while they form one. The following looks, found in a more sportswear version were playing on the solid areas of material to highlight the design details such as pockets, or inclined backs. One could camouflage himself in the oversize puffer jackets made with a crossed front closure. This is where we see designer SUN had fun in his creative process by giving not only style but also an attitude for the DAWEI woman this season. She is not afraid to have clothes that are too wide and dares the overlay games by choice of texture and colors. Thus a boyfriend shape striped shirt becomes an oversize dress, and a pleated nude colored skirt harmonizes with the accent of a silver sequined jacket. DAWEI has not neglected the more classic silhouettes. He revisits these in a large flat Prince of Wales pattern or Vichy pattern on trapeze skirts, split to give more amplitude. He contrasts these looks with knit sweaters. On the side of a few of the sweaters are a knitted pattern of a dinosaur head and raptor claw.

Chocheng Spring Summer 2020 during New York Fashion Week
Showing again at New York Fashion Week was our favorite designer Cho Cho Cheng of Chocheng. Cheng studied fashion and costume design at Parsons School of Design then moving to London, working at Savile Row to learn the art and skills of British tailoring.
The Chocheng brand focuses on using natural and cruelty-free materials while adding luxurious details to the pieces. Fabrics are produced in Europe, while the garments are hand-sewn in London using skills and techniques from Savile Row. Cheng also chooses to have accessories made in Italy. These factors and details that have gone into the Chocheng collections are what makes this brand our favorite.
Like last season, this season used a similar theme of 1960's movies. Although this season's focuses were on the films Plein Soleil and Midnight Lace. The collection encompasses the retro aspects you would expect while still having a heavy emphasis on glamor, femininity, and mystery. Colors and patterns used in the collection include candy stripes, coral red, soft shades of pink, and neutral tones. Dresses, skirts, blouses, and jackets where the main types of garments seen throughout the collection. Our favorite look was the strapless bermuda top combined with a matching jacket and mini skirt in a candy stripe pattern, accessorised with large wooden framed sunglasses, a straw woven handbag and a pair of lace-up platform espadrilles made for an ultimate fun, chic, day look that we can look forward to in the next spring season.

Designs Influenced by Paul Poiret's Japanese-Inspired Silhouette at Cushnie Fall Winter 2019 during New York Fashion Week
Carly Cushnie, famed for creating beautifully crafted designs that flatter the curves of a woman's body. These looks enticed us with her recent collection inspired by French master couturier, Paul Poiret's 20th-century Japanese-inspired silhouettes. She also took inspiration from the Japanese art of floral arrangements. Forming angular shapes, and geometric folds inspired by artist Nicola Kloosterman's Shadowplay collage series. She chose to design this elegant Japanese-inspired collection in decadent navy, burgundy, blue, and purple hues.
She kept her signature aesthetic of feminine, clean lines, emphasizing on the shape, and form. Hints of boldness were articulated in forms of Japanese-inspired floral print embroidery, artful draping and folds to create pleated shoulder, asymmetrical neckline, and fringed details. The runway looks consisted of exquisitely constructed tops, jackets, trousers, jumpsuits, and skirts in luxurious satin and velvet fabrics.
This well-tailored collection, with its intricate use of handcrafted techniques, could only be expected of Cushnie.

Afffair Spring Summer 2019 during New York Fashion Week
Showing on the last day of fashion week was one of our favorite brands, Afffair. Quickly rising to the top as a preferred choice for celebrities and on the red carpet, designer Rufat Ismayel, creator of Afffair, brought a glamorous vision for this season and the brand. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, Ismayel got his start by modeling for fashion houses as a teenager. He modeled for top brands like Paco Rabanne and Valentine Yudashkin. Then he realized he wanted to make a shift and create his own fashion brand and designs. Moving to Istanbul, he launched Afffair. Ismayel manages everything from design to factory garment production.
Jeweled details and elegant evening gowns are some of the features that make this collection so luxurious. Most pieces shown this season were dresses except for the occasional jumper, pants, shorts, skirt, and tops. Colors used in the collection were green, gold, and black. Materials noticed included organza, satin, velvet, and chiffon. The collection used opaque materials, and played with the use of skin which added sexy and mysterious vibes. A few of the looks were styled with a headband that complimented the collection.

The first issue of a magazine — especially a magazine that hopes to help define the era in which it lives — the first issue is always a big deal. It sets the tone for everything to come. It's a pronouncement, a statement of purpose. It shows readers what they can expect, and it tells everyone (including, of course, other publications) just what this new title is made of.
When LIFE magazine launched in November 1936, the people behind it — including Henry Luce, who had co-founded TIME magazine more than decade earlier — made it clear from the start that this was not going to be just another picture magazine. The cover story in that first issue, featuring Margaret Bourke-White's magnificent photographs of the men, women and machines building the monumental Fort Peck Dam in Montana, set a visual storytelling standard that, to this day, has never been exceeded. No one would argue that every single one of the more than 2,000 issues that LIFE published between November '36 and December 1972 was a classic. But that first issue showed anyone and everyone who saw it that here was a publication that intended to stick around — and aimed to change the way that subscribers and readers expected from a weekly magazine.
But what about LIFE's second issue? Like Larry Doby (the second black major league ballplayer, after Jackie Robinson) or Buzz Aldrin (the second man on the moon) or John Landy (the second man to break the four-minute mile), the second issue of a weekly as ambitious and audacious as LIFE might feel, inevitably, like something of an afterthought. And yet, in some ways, it's even more important than the first issue. Hell, anyone can put out one issue of a magazine; the real test comes when one has to put out another, and another, and another, week after week, for years on end — and make it matter.
In retrospect, of course, LIFE made it matter more deeply and to more readers for more issues than almost any other title in the history of American magazines. The very name, "LIFE magazine," is familiar to people who weren't even born when it stopped publishing more than 40 years ago. So, quite obviously, that November 1936 first issue heralded great things. But here, on the second of January, 2013, LIFE.com wanted to pay tribute to LIFE magazine's second issue — and to often-forgotten seconds everywhere.
Doby, Landy, Aldrin and all the other men and women who have followed on the heels — frequently hard on the heels — of more famous pioneers deserve recognition, too, and so does that all-important second issue of a magazine that intends to utterly transform the way that people think about a weekly publication. Here, then, is a gallery of photos made by Alfred Eisenstaedt for the cover story of the second issue of LIFE — a feature on cadets at West Point.
This might not have been the first cover story LIFE ever ran; but it's first-rate, nevertheless.

Rose Panna Cotta with Grenadine Syrup and Crunchy French Pralines
04.16.09 by Jackie
Panna cotta is a very easy recipe. It is as versatile as crème brulée or pot de crème. The base is just a dairy with a gelling agent like agar or gelatin. You can create your own signature version by adding your own twist to it. You can use different flavors like rose, strawberry, pandan, peppermint, mocha or any other savory flavor that you can imagine. It is a true culinary chameleon.

2012 champion Brad Keselowski, four-time champion Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman will miss 10-race run for the championship
RICHMOND, Va. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr., Greg Biffle, Kurt Busch, Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr. clinched the final spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup as NASCAR's regular season ended Saturday.
Earnhardt, Biffle, Busch and Logano rounded out the top 10 in points. Truex clinched the final wild card berth on a tiebreaker over Ryan Newman, joining Kasey Kahne (who had clinched a week earlier) to round out the top 12.
Truex Jr. has been driving with a broken right wrist suffered in a crash at Bristol Motor Speedway. His Michael Waltrip Racing teammate, Clint Bowyer, spun to bring out the final caution. There was speculation after the race that Bowyer, who was asked over the team radio if his arm was hurting him with just a few laps left, intentionally spun to help Truex Jr. earn the spots he needed to make it.
When asked after the race, Bowyer said he didn't spin intentionally but thought he had a flat tire.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who was riding behind Bowyer at the time, told reporters it looked weird from his view as Bowyer was braking and the car was wobbling in an unusual manner just before it spun.
Jeff Gordon (eighth) missed the Chase for the second time in his career by finishing one point behind Logano for the 10th and final guaranteed spot in the Chase, the 10-race title run that will begin Sept. 15 at Chicagoland Speedway.
EDWARDS: Gains Chase momentum with Richmond win
Newman's bid for a Chase-clinching victory evaporated when the caution flew for a spin by Clint Bowyer with eight laps remaining. Newman, who would have qualified with his second win of the season, lost the lead while pitting under caution and finished third.
"If we were a championship-contending team, we needed a championship-contending pit crew, and we didn't have one tonight," Newman said.
Brad Keselowski (17th), who led 142 laps but saw his title bid evaporate when he pitted under green just before a yellow flag, became the first defending series champion to miss the Chase since Tony Stewart (2006).
RESULTS: Federated Auto Parts 400
With a runner-up finish, Busch clinched a Chase berth by being eighth in the points standings. His No. 78 Chevrolet is the first single-car team to make the playoff since its 2004 inception -- the same year Busch won his only Cup championship.
Seven drivers already had secured spots before Saturday night's race: points leader and five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Kevin Harvick, Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Kahne.
NASCAR reset the points for the top 12 drivers Saturday night, awarding three points for each victory to those in the top 10:
1. Matt Kenseth, 2015
2. Jimmie Johnson, 2012
3. Kyle Busch, 2012
4. Kevin Harvick, 2006
5. Carl Edwards, 2006
6. Joey Logano, 2003
7. Greg Biffle, 2003
8. Clint Bowyer, 2000
9. Dale Earnhardt Jr., 2000
10. Kurt Busch, 2000
11. Kasey Kahne, 2000
12. Martin Truex Jr., 2000

Politics & Government
Couple's book tackles evangelicals' questions on climate change
WASHINGTON — As an evangelical Christian living in Texas, climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe found that many conservatives had questions about climate change based on things they'd heard on talk radio.
So Hayhoe and her husband, Andrew Farley, the pastor of a nondenominational church in Lubbock, Texas, decided to answer the questions in a new book from religious publisher FaithWords, "A Climate for Change: Global Warming Facts for Faith-based Decisions."
"The observed increase in greenhouse gas levels, due to human production, is the only explanation we can find to account for what has happened to our world," Farley and Hayhoe wrote. "We've dusted for fingerprints. There's only one likely suspect remaining. It's us."
Although the leaders of other religious groups have been calling on the world to take action to prevent climate change from spinning out of control, evangelical Christians remain divided on it.
Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, for example, has taken a strong stand on protecting the climate. The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, the leader of the world's Orthodox Christians, wrote in a commentary last month, "Climate change will only be overcome when all of us — scientists and politicians, theologians and economists, specialists and lay citizens — cooperate for the common good."
The National Association of Evangelicals, a group that represents millions of American evangelicals in about 45,000 churches, takes positions on other social issues but it hasn't taken a stand on climate change because there isn't a consensus among its members, said its director, Heather Gonzales.
The evangelical group Cornwall Alliance argues that concerns about global warming are unfounded and lobbies against legislation that would reduce U.S. emissions of greenhouse gases. The Evangelical Environmental Network, in contrast, accepts the scientific explanation of global warming and calls for reducing the pollution that's causing it.
This contrast in views prompted the Texas authors to write their book.
"When it comes to conservative Christians, I think the real question is who can we trust on this issue?" Farley said. "The scientist who has opposed us in the past, perhaps on issues such as evolution versus creation? Can we trust the local radio talk-show host on conservative radio who seems to be vehemently opposed to the idea that climate change is happening and speaks out quite passionately? Should I trust my local pastor who has a B minus in high school biology?"
Hayhoe teaches in the Department of Geosciences at Texas Tech University, and she was a lead author of a U.S. government report on climate change in the United States that was released in June. She also was one of some 2,000 scientists on the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which reported in 2007 that there was unequivocal evidence of warming.
Farley, a conservative Republican, is the pastor of Ecclesia, a nondenominational Christian church, and teaches linguistics at Texas Tech.
"To get information on climate change, you have to go to the people who know the information. That's why we wrote this together as a climate scientist and a pastor," Hayhoe said. "He asked the tough questions. He said you've got to talk about this and this and this, and these answers have to satisfy me."
Many of the questions were from the arguments of conservative celebrities.
"Glenn Beck is saying this, Laura Ingraham is saying that, Rush Limbaugh is saying this, and these people are well-respected in conservative communities, so where are these talk show hosts wrong and how can you show that they're wrong with data, not slick talk?" he said.
Their goal, he said, was to reach the average person with facts, "with no spin to it, no politics to it, no economic policy recommendations to it, stripped of all those and stripped of the common misconceptions as well, getting down to the core issue: Is it happening, are we causing it and how can we be sure?"
The book is a look at the scientific consensus that heat-trapping gases, mostly from the use of fossil fuels, are causing an increase in the Earth's average temperature. It explains how scientists reach their conclusions and why they rule out other possible explanations, such as the sun, volcanoes and natural cycles.

Canterbury Scene
The Canterbury scene (or Canterbury sound) is a term used to loosely describe the group of progressive rock, avant - garde and jazz musicians, many of whom were based around the city of Canterbury, Kent, England during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The Canterbury scene is largely defined by a set of musicians and bands with intertwined memberships. These are not tied by very strong musical similarities, but a certain whimsicality, touches of psychedelia, rather abstruse lyrics, and a use of improvisation derived from jazz are common elements in their work. "The real essence of 'Canterbury Sound' is the tension between complicated harmonies, extended improvisations, and the sincere desire to write catchy pop songs." "In the very best Canterbury music...the musically silly and the musically serious are juxtaposed in an amusing and endearing way.

The historic election of 2012 is over. Whether your candidate won or lost, you can feel confident that the American electoral process, a model for the free world, worked as the Founding Fathers intended – even if they never could have imagined spending billions of dollars on an election.
However, many citizens complained about the long lines at polling places and the unreasonable wait times. The wait times seemed to range from 30 minutes to several hours. In some cases, voters abandoned the polls altogether after a lengthy wait.
[poll id="236"]
States have decades of experience administering elections, so it is particularly vexing that voting is so time consuming. Why should it take longer to vote than it does to conduct other routine government business? In many states, motor vehicles can be renewed securely in several ways, at the citizen's convenience. The citizen can renew in person at an office of the motor vehicle administration, mail a renewal form, or submit a renewal application online. What can be done to make voting quick, easy, convenient and yet still secure?
Since 1998, citizens of the State of Oregon have securely cast their ballots exclusively by mail. Although postal voting has increased the amount of time necessary to tally votes, Oregon has reduced the cost of conducting elections and seen consistently higher turnout than the U.S. average. Ballots can either be mailed (earning the U.S. Postal Service some additional revenue) or dropped off free-of-charge at a ballot collection center.
All 50 states already have a postal voting infrastructure in place through the offering of absentee paper ballots. In 2011 Washington State followed Oregon's example of total postal voting and 27 other states allow anyone to vote by mail (without excuse). However there are still 22 states where postal voting is not an option without a valid and documented reason.
In some localities, citizens can visit their local courthouse or other locations for early voting or to submit their absentee ballot in person, weeks before Election Day. Many citizens take advantage of these opportunities, even if the voting locale is less convenient than their polling place. The Post Office, as the heart of many local communities and a trusted government entity, might make an ideal place for early voting or in-person absentee voting. Do you agree?
Do you think voting by mail would work in your community? Would you use the Post Office to cast your ballot if that were an option? Tell us what you think.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Obtains $75,000 for Mexican-Born Vineyard Workers
SAN FRANCISCO - Ukiah winery Dunnewood Vineyard, owned by Constellation Wines U.S., Inc., agreed to pay $75,000 and to implement preventative measures to settle a lawsuit for national origin harassment brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit asserts that a Mexican-American supervisor at Dunnewood Vineyard regularly harassed winery worker Julio Perez-Lombera and other Mexican-born co-workers, calling them "wetbacks" and "beaners" and telling them to go back to Mexico when they complained about the illegal harassment. Although the supervisor was also Latino, he was born in the U.S. while the workers he harassed were born in Mexico.
"Until this case, we didn't realize we had rights, or that there are laws to stop that kind of treatment," said Perez-Lombera. "I hope other people facing harassment on the job will realize they have rights, too, and will talk to the EEOC like I did."
Harassment based on national origin violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After an investigation by EEOC Investigator Malihe Kigasari and first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through conciliation, the EEOC filed its lawsuit (EEOC v. Constellation Wines U.S., Inc., dba Dunnewood Vineyards, Civil No. 11-04437 JSW) in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
As part of the settlement, Constellation Wines will pay $75,000 to three workers and agreed to conduct training against national origin harassment for all the employees at Dunnewood Vineyards. The company will also provide copies of its anti-harassment training in both English and Spanish to the employees.
EEOC San Francisco Regional Attorney William R. Tamayo said, "We hope this case clearly signals that the civil rights laws of this country protect everyone from illegal discrimination, regardless of their ancestry or place of birth."
EEOC San Francisco District Director Michael Baldonado added, "It's critical that employers educate their supervisors and staff on preventing harassment and discrimination in the language in which their work force is fluent. This is a good result for the workers represented in our case as well as for the future work force at Dunnewood."
Dunnewood Vineyards is owned and operated by Constellation Wines U.S., Inc., based in Victor, N.Y., and is part of one of the world's largest wine and alcohol beverage companies.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Wrecks Takes a Field Trip
Today, class, we're going to see an example of how other sugary foods can become Wrecks.
Here we have what looks at first glance to be a perfectly normal hamburger:
But check out the description sent to me by the "architectural foodsmiths" over at Bompas & Parr:
"The burger, known as the Monnow Valley Burger, is comprised of a hamburger patty with two slices of melted cheese, tomatoes, secret sauce and onions sandwiched inside a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed donut and garnished with a slice of gherkin. The Monnow Valley Burger contains up to 1000 calories and 45 grams of fat."
This is nuts! I mean, c'mon, "architectural foodsmiths"? They stick a Whopper in a Krispy Kreme, and they get to call themselves "architectural foodsmiths"? Really?
I guess in their defense, they also created this snazzy little number:
That's pork and tomatoes under that sugary-sprinkled donut shell, my friends. Awww yeeeah.
Now that I've whet your appetites, I'm sure you're demanding to know just where you can procure one of these culinary delights. Well, if you live across the pond you're in luck: they debut this Saturday, September 20th, at the Abergavenny Food Festival in Britain.
And here's the kicker: Bompas & Parr are billing the Monnow Valley Drive-Thru where the burgers are served as "the ultimate American eating and entertainment experience". So going by their press release, the "ultimate American experience" equals hotdog-eating-contests, theater performances in which the actors are dressed as "a flock of burgers", screenings of the movie Pulp Fiction, and of course thousand-calorie-donut-burgers.
Wow. So much to be offended by, so little time.
Actually, I'm kind of torn: this could in fact be brilliant satire, considering our American love-affair with gut-busting fast food and general idiocy. I mean, the show "Flavor of Love" alone should by all rights get us kicked back into the Stone Age, so if donut-burgers and hotdog-eating-contests are the Brits' way of poking fun, huzzah and well played. If, on the other hand, they honestly think Pulp Fiction and prancing flocks of burgers epitomizes US culture, then let me be the first to remind Bompas & Parr that we Americans may be fat, and have questionable taste in entertainment, but we can occasionally tell when we're being insulted. And furthermore, we don't like it very much. (Being insulted, I mean; not the other stuff.)
So there.
Many thanks to Bompas & Parr for the photos and info. Guys, I don't know if I should shake your hands or slap your faces. Maybe you should send me some of those donut burgers so I can make an informed decision.
And as for the rest of you: field trip over! We continue with our regularly scheduled Cake Wrecks tomorrow.

Q. Can eggs be part of a balanced, heart-healthy diet?
A. Eggs are handy, inexpensive sources of protein. They also contain healthful fats, folic acid, and essential vitamins.
Heart-wise, although a single egg yolk contains about 200 milligrams of cholesterol — two-thirds of the daily recommended intake — for most people, cholesterol in food has little effect on cholesterol in the bloodstream. Blood-borne cholesterol is a major contributor to artery-clogging plaque, but most of that originates in the liver.
The largest study looking directly at the relationship between egg consumption and heart disease showed no link between eating up to one egg a day and the risk of developing heart disease or having a stroke. Exceptions to that egg-a-day maximum are people who have diabetes. The cholesterol in egg yolks seems to increase their chances of getting heart disease, so people with any type of diabetes should limit themselves to two or three egg yolks a week, although there's no restriction on egg whites.
For cardiovascular health, limiting saturated fats, refined grains, and trans fats will do more to help your heart and arteries than fretting about eggs.

This is absolutely nuts. Nine members of the Wisconsin legislature are actually backing legislation that would throw federal officials in jail if they try to implement the health care reform law in that state. All are backed by the Tea Party and were responding to a question from one of those groups in doing so:
As Gov. Scott Walker contemplates whether to create a state health care exchange under Obamacare, he will have to contend in the coming legislative session with nine lawmakers who have said they back a bill to arrest any federal officials who try to implement the health care law…
Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) is one of the nine from Wisconsin who told the Campaign for Liberty he would back legislation to declare Obamacare illegal and allow police to arrest federal officials who take steps to implement it in Wisconsin. He said he believes the health care law is unconstitutional, despite the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that it passes constitutional muster."Just because Obama was re-elected does not mean he's above the constitution," Kapenga said.
In addition to Kapenga, those listed as supporting the Campaign for Liberty's positions are Sen. Mary Lazich of New Berlin; Reps. Don Pridemore of Hartford; Erik Severson of Star Prairie; Tom Larson of Colfax; Scott Krug of Wisconsin Rapids; and three Republicans elected for the first time last week who will be sworn in early next year – Rob Hutton of Brookfield, Mark Born of Beaver Dam and Dave Murphy of Greenville.
The courts would never allow this, of course, but the mere fact that they would support it makes them unfit for any office.

Nationals Park, Washington, District of Columbia
Yanks-Nats series postponed by rain; 2 games set for June 18
By HOWARD FENDRICH
WASHINGTON (AP) By the time the New York Yankees open a three-game series at the Kansas City Royals on Friday, rookie manager Aaron Boone's club will be coming off a stretch of playing a grand total of five innings across four days, thanks to a combination of rain and scheduled breaks.
That's not quite the way the grind of Major League Baseball usually works.
"We'll be fine. We have guys out right now, throwing bullpens. Guys are in the cage down there, hitting," Boone said Wednesday after wet weather wiped out what was supposed to be a makeshift semi-doubleheader against the Washington Nationals, with the games shifted to June 18. "It's not perfect, but in the end, a couple days here, hopefully, we can take advantage of, from a rest standpoint, allow us to reset our `pen a bit. We'll just look at it as a good chance to rest some of our guys."
The Yankees-Nationals interleague series originally was supposed to have one game Tuesday, the other Wednesday. But the opener was suspended because of rain with the score 3-3 in the middle of the sixth inning Tuesday night. That was supposed to resume Wednesday, followed by the originally scheduled second game, which would have featured two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer on the mound for Washington against New York's CC Sabathia.
But rain fell overnight and much of the day Wednesday, resulting in the postponement until next month.
Asked tongue-in-check whether he was upset about not seeing Scherzer out there Wednesday, Boone smiled widely and replied: "You always like facing the best." Then he paused a beat and continued: "Especially when I don't have to hit them."
New York had a similar experience at Detroit last month, when a Saturday game was rained out and rescheduled as part of a Sunday doubleheader that was washed out and rescheduled as a twin-bill on June 4.
Both the Yankees and Nationals were off Monday. They had that short outing Tuesday. They were told about 70 minutes before Wednesday's scheduled first pitch they were off again. And they already were slated to be off Thursday.
"You've got to deal with it," Yankees left fielder Giancarlo Stanton said. "It would be worse if we had just (been) sitting around here all day and then they (postpone) it. But we get good notice and then go get a little workout in."
Washington will push its rotation back a day, so Scherzer now will start Friday in the opener of a home set against the Los Angeles Dodgers, followed by Tanner Roark and Stephen Strasburg. The Yankees also will stick with Sabathia next, now opening the series at the Royals, followed by Luis Severino on Saturday, and Sonny Gray moving from Friday to Sunday.
The teams are both off Thursday, but Boone said his understanding was that there wouldn't be games that day at Nationals Park because the Yankees' travel plans were already set and Washington first baseman Ryan Zimmerman's multiple sclerosis charity event is scheduled at the team's stadium that day.
"I was just told, kind of definitely, yesterday that Thursday was not an option," Boone said.
June 18 had been a free day for both the Yankees and Nationals. Washington is coming off a weekend series in Toronto and begins a three-game series with Baltimore at home on Tuesday. New York is coming off a weekend series at home against Tampa Bay and begins a three-game set at home against Seattle on Tuesday.
Stanton's 1,000th hit was not exactly the sort of thing one might expect from the big slugger: A blooper to shallow right in the fifth inning Tuesday. This is a guy, after all, with 277 career homers, including 59 last season, when he was the NL MVP for the Marlins. "You see my first hit ever? Think it might have been harder than that one," Stanton said with a smile Wednesday. "So I'm fine with it." Yep, his first hit was an infield single on a chopper to second base.
Boone said Yankees OF Clint Frazier will stick around for the time being, perhaps with an eye to facing left-handed pitching in Kansas City. "That will be something we monitor day to day. That will be a fluid situation," Boone said. "We won't have him here, just regularly sitting." Frazier was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. "I'm just here to get at-bats right now. I just want to get an opportunity," Frazier said. "I didn't want to go back down without at least getting one at-bat to try to push for a spot."

I always have weird eating habits on Sunday… But not today! I'm sticking with my March Goals so far, so good!
- I went to the gym 7 times during the week…my goal was 5!
- To not overindulge on weekends and stick to my weekly routine – CHECK!
- Get more than 5 hours of sleep a night – Averaging 8!
- Set a weekly budget and stick to my list – A+.
This weekend I was able to squeeze a zumba, body pump and killer spin class in – i just love me some weekend workouts! During the week I always go after work but morning workouts always make me feel more accomplished and energized.
I made a "menu" for myself for the week that included 3 meals, a snack & dessert (can't go without it!) each day – I jotted down my grocery list, headed to Trader Joe's and actually stuck to it without buying one extra item! I'm so proud of myself… The best part about it? I got all of these organic goodies:
for $34… I can't remember the last time I only spent $34 at the grocery store! I have a lot of yummy recipes for the week planned so I'm ready for Monday to start. Whoa, did I just say that? This will probably be the first and last time you hear me say those words in a sentence together.
I have some news for you…
The good news is – I'm loving the honey scented blueberry muffins i made on Friday…
The bad news is I'm eating them like I'm never going to see them again…
The good news is they are only 100 calories 🙂 But, the bad news is I've been dousing them in my new favorite Peanut Butter.
I just keep telling myself it's OK it's a protein… AND its national peanut butter month so it's only right that I support it 😉
The good news is I made some seriously good hummus for the week to snack on.
Spinach and Artichoke Hummus! This was my first homemade hummus and it turned out ah.maze.ing. Sorry whole foods, you won't be collecting 6.00 a container from me anymore 🙂 The bad news is, I forgot this was a weekday snack and almost finished it off by myself TODAY. I wasn't kidding when I said I was feeling snacky!
The good news is, while I was gawking I found a recipe that caught my eye so I also made some Peanut Butter Pretzel Granola Bars for a healthy easy treat while were on vacation.
The bad news is I just couldn't help but drizzle chocolate all over them.
You're right, that's not bad news… But it would've been awesome news if I would've opened the dark chocolate bar instead of the milk! Don't feel sorry for me… They were still delicious – they had peanut butter AND chocolate, how could they not be?
The bad news is I was still feeling snacky – so I turned it into good news and whipped up some s'mores cookies "to take to work" tomorrow. Or, at least that's what I told myself.
I won't tell you how many or if i even have any of these left…
But the good news is… I'm going to share all 3 recipes with you, right here, right now.
Spinach and Artichoke Hummus
- 1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 can of artichoke hearts, quartered
- 2 Tbsp. tahini
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- a sprinkle of parmesan cheese to make it a little more like the dip.
- Combine all ingredients in food processor until smooth.
OOO…AHHH…. Choose your dipping weapon of choice. I chose gluten-free unsalted pretzels. I enjoy them more than the Whole Wheat ones but they can get pricey – Maybe next I'll make my own pretzels?!
Next up on Snacky Sunday:
Peanut Butter Pretzel Granola Bars
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup pretzels (I chose gluten-free)
- 4 bananas, mashed
- 2 cups of old-fashioned oats
- dried fruit, chocolate chips, chocolate, coconut etc (optional)
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, line a 13×9 pan with parchment paper
- Mash bananas
- Add peanut butter to bananas and heat in microwave until combined
- Add oats and peanuts, mix well.
- Fold in pretzels
- Spread mixture in lined pan and bake for 20 minutes or until top is browned
- Let cool and cut into 12 squares
- Drizzle with chocolate if you love it as much as me
These remind me of a cookie mixed with a granola bar. They are also pretty big in size so its perfect for breakfast on the go!
Last but not least…
S'mores Cookies
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 chocolate bars, chopped
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Combine the butter and sugars until fluffy.
- Mix in egg and vanilla until combined.
- Add the flour, graham crackers, salt, and baking soda, and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips.
IMPORTANT STEP: Eat a spoonful of cookie dough
- Drop by rounded tablespoon onto cookie sheets
- Bake for 8 minutes, and remove from the oven.
- Push 3 to 4 marshmallows and a few pieces of the chocolate bar into each cookies.
- Return to the oven and bake an additional 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. Cool cookies on a wire rack.
The marshmallow, graham crackers and chocolate combo is really trying hard to steal the number one spot in my heart(clearly chocolate + peanut butter is #1)… I've got to admit, these cookies MIGHT have me switch over. If you make these, make sure you get the colored marshmallows…They're more fun 🙂
Hi ho, Hi ho…Back to work I go. Happy Monday 🙂
QUESTIONS: What good news do you have to share? What is your favorite combination of food?

I'm the best in the borough, I'm the best in the city
I'm the best of the state, and the rest of you fakes
Don't question the ape, throw the sket at your face
Bang, bang, shoot 'em up, make a mess of the place
Oh, you a E head, oh, you a weed head

Fuck a rhyme though I'm back on my grind mode
Me and my connect keeping it kosher like Shyne Po
How that nine go? Where your guns at?
Faking moves, 80's fool, he a lunch pack
This a dumb rap, but I can rap smarter
The educated rapper, the African Godfather
Just shoot and spray, Ruck boomaye
Mandingo warrior from the Alajuela
Y'all niggas know the flow is weak and
Your bitch suck dick for show tickets
[Verse 2]
Yo, you a battle rapper
You be rapping in battles
I shoot the shit up, duke, it's a wrap for the battle
Niggas yapping they tattle
It's a wrap when I catch you
Chrome to your iPhone, duke get clapped at your Apple
I'm God's favorite
I'm flagrant, arms facing
I'm breaking your arms while niggas raping your moms naked
P forever, I'm better, the wordsmith
Lyrically Michael the Tyson, you Trevor the Berbick
Smack a nigga on sight, B
Adidas track suit with Nikes
Mean mugging who? Your jeans colorful
Rainbow Brite, good night, I can't fuck with you
You a lame, homie, do ya thing, homie
Put your head between your legs and do your thing, homie
The last LP -- I quit, boy
The title of this song refers to the title of the album so this song is basically called "Mic Tyson"

Template:I18n links start Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n links endThis article describes how to set up a bluetooth mouse with Arch Linux. I used a Logitech v270 with a Trendnet TBW-101UB USB Bluetooth dongle, but the general process should be the same for any model.
Required software
You need the bluez-utils and bluez-libs packages from the extra repository. Looks like you also need dbus for automating things, otherwise hcid reports errors such as: "hcid[14851]: Unable to get on D-Bus". Enabling D-Bus also solved problems for local bluetooth device recognition.
The pertinent options in /etc/conf.d/bluetooth are
after that, start bluetooth services with
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
Finding out your mouse's bdaddr
It is of the form 12:34:56:78:9A:BC. Either find it in the documentation of your mouse, on the mouse itself or with the hcitool scan command.
kernel modules
The command
# modprobe -v hci_usb bluetooth hidp l2cap
loads the kernel modules you need, if they weren't loaded automatically.
(See below for some tips if you're stuck at this point)
Connecting the mouse
hidd --search hcitool inq
are good for device scanning.
hidd --connect <bdaddr>
to actually connect.
hidd --show
will show your currently connected devices. The mouse should show up in this list. If it doesn't, press the reset button to make it discoverable.
Note: If you have the ipw3945 module loaded (wifi on HP computer) the bluetooth wont work.
Connecting the mouse at startup
Edit /etc/conf.d/bluetooth:
# Arguments to hidd HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address>"
and test the new settings:
/etc/rc.d/bluetooth stop hidd --killall (drop mouse connection) /etc/rc.d/bluetooth start
Note: The above instructions to start the mouse at startup don't work with the now outdated 3.11 bluetooth packages. New versions such as the current (3.32) packages are not affected. If you are using an older version, then to start the mouse at startup, add:
hidd --connect <enter here your bluetooth mouse address (No capitals!!!)>
to your /etc/rc.local file.
Note #2: You can connect any bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard without any further configuration and without knowing the device address. You can do it by adding the --master and/or --server option in HIDD_OPTIONS depending on your device.
Troubleshooting tips
If you have trouble with your USB dongle, you may also want to try
# modprobe -v rfcomm
At this point, you should get an hci0 device with
# hcitool dev
Sometimes the device is not active right away - try starting the interface with
# hciconfig hci0 up
and searching for devices as shown above.

So... one of my readers will be the lucky recipient of this book!
Remember when I mentioned here last week about becoming a new me? Well this book and the fact that I now have access to this information, plus I just bought some workout gear for the house (one of those big balls with a DVD and an over the door gym!!!) are my inspiration to becoming a new me. I'm so overweight right now, that I'm not happy and I realized it's part of the reasons for what is going on in my personal life right now.
This book is going to help me on my journey, and I'd love for YOU to join me!

Tonsillectomy leaves 13-year-old girl brain dead, says family
A routine tonsillectomy may have left a 13-year-old girl brain dead, according to her family members who are hoping for a miracle.
Jahi McMath went to Children's Hospital Oakland to get her tonsils removed last week, according to CBS San Francisco. Her grandmother noticed bleeding from her nose and mouth after the procedure, and the girl reportedly soon went into cardiac arrest.
Instead of going home, she remains hospitalized on a ventilator with no brain activity. Her mother Nailah Winkfield told the station that doctors said her daughter won't recover.
"I have no tears left, so the only thing I can do is stay here," said Winkfield. "I am not leaving unless she leaves with me because I will not let them pull the plug on my child."
In a tonsillectomy, a child will typically go under general anesthesia where surgeon would then cut or burn away the tonsils -- the two oval-shaped tissues at the back of the throat -- and control the bleeding. Some children can ho home hours after surgery, according to the National Institutes of Health.
"Jahi's family has requested that we not share any details of her case with the media," Dr. David Durand, chief of pediatrics at Children's Hospital, said to CBS News in an emailed statement. "We can say that, as whenever we see a medical or surgical complication, we are reviewing her case very closely. Our hearts go out to her family, and we want to support them during this extremely difficult time."

Berlin 2009 is a series of ephemeral installations constructed on Berlin's streets using found street objects. The series consists of black and white and color photographs. Each proposal takes an element of the urban environment and makes it inseparable from the situation. The re-appropriation of found objects (as seen in the black and white series), are then made more complex in arrangement, and refined through the study of balance, composition and context.

The doe ( female deer) with the long lashes and pretty bow is actually named Clarice and is not Vixen at all, as the title of this particular blog suggests, but thats really besides the point. While this classic which was inspired by the poem "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" and the coloring book "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", has a good message and a happy ending, it is the song that is sung, which has no relation in particular to the movie, that I have issue with.

TPP Agreement: Obama Wants Something The Public 'Can Look At' In November
from the but-what? dept
Transparency -- or lack of it -- has emerged as a major issue for all the big trade agreements that are currently being negotiated: TAFTA/TTIP, TISA, CETA and TPP. That makes the following story from Reuters, about a move to open up TPP slightly, intriguing:
Pacific trading partners hope to have a free trade agreement ready to present to the public and stakeholders in November, U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday.
More specifically, he is quoted as saying:
"Our hope is by the time we see each other again in November, when I travel to Asia, we should have something that we have consulted with Congress about, that the public can take a look at, and we can make a forceful argument to go ahead and close the deal," he told reporters after the meeting.
As the Reuters article notes, that comes as something of a surprise since the talks seemed to have ground to a halt recently, despite original hopes that they would be finished last year. Indeed, some participants remain pessimistic:
Australian Trade Minister Andrew Robb, who visited the United States last week, was reported as saying on June 18 there was no chance of a deal this year, though he hoped it could be concluded in the first half of 2015.
That uncertainty raises the question: what exactly does the President's statement mean? Is it just an attempt to give some momentum to the talks by setting a new deadline? Will there really be a document released in November? And even if there is something that the public "can take a look at" then, what exactly will that be? The full text of the agreement? That seems unlikely; what President Obama has in mind is probably some sanitized summary.
Still, the very fact that he has made this comment, however vague and unsatisfactory it might be, suggests that the increasingly-widespread calls for transparency are having some effect. We obviously need to keep it up.

When I was a young girl growing up in a small town in northern Finland, there used to be markets held twice a year - in spring and autumn. It used to be the biggest and the most anticipated event, and we'd rush to the markets after school to browse the stalls full of fascinating bric-a-brac, lollies and other not so fascinating things like rugs and brooms (yes, everything was available at the markets).
I would admire the candy stall with a sparkle in my eyes and imagine what goodies I would choose if I'd ever be allowed to buy a whole bag full of treats. My parents were quite strict about eating candy, so instead of getting a full bag full of sweets, I'd be allowed to buy a long string of liquorice instead. Another treat readily available at the markets were bagels - water bagels (plain), vanilla bagels, cinnamon bagels. Mum or dad would always bring home a bag of these, but I didn't find them very exciting back then.

OKLAHOMA CITY – The City of Oklahoma City 2015-16 fiscal year budget was approved Tuesday by the City Council and includes $29.5 million for public transit, including an additional $250,000 for system improvements. EMBARK has rolled out significant improvements to the bus system this past year, including night service on two routes, increased frequency, a journey planner, and a partnership with Google Transit and Moovit. The additional funding revs up more improvements with the expansion of night service on two more routes.
"We want to acknowledge City Council's continued support in developing a transportation system that works for all metro residents," said Jason Ferbrache, Public Transportation and Parking Director. "City council and our Board of Trustees are responding to our community's needs today, while laying the groundwork for a more robust future transportation system."
Earlier this year, EMBARK launched night service on routes 011 and 23N. Since February, those two routes have provided more than 11,000 trips to grocery stores, schools, work, entertainment and hospitals across the metro.
The additional $250,000 will extend service until midnight on slightly modified versions of routes 005 and 013 starting in early 2016. Route 005, serving areas of north Oklahoma City travels along Classen and Western between the downtown Transit Center and Memorial and provides access to Mercy Hospital, Quail Springs Mall and a diverse range of residential areas. Route 013, serving areas of south Oklahoma City, runs along Western between downtown and I-240, serves the Oklahoma City Community College, I-240 businesses, and the SW Medical Center until midnight.
"Night service is great for businesses and people who work, go to school or run errands past 7 p.m.," said Elaine Lyons, president of the South Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce. "Transportation will no longer be a barrier for people along these routes to get to and from work, access health care, attend night classes or shop later. It provides families with more opportunities and flexibility with employment, education and recreation, which translates to a better quality of life and more robust economy."
The addition of night service is a continuation of service enhancements identified in a study conducted by Nelson\Nygaard, an international transit research firm hired by the City of Oklahoma City and the EMBARK board to review and make recommendations for improving the public transit system.
Last year, EMBARK launched phase one of the system enhancements to increase frequency of bus routes, reduce passenger wait time and travel time, create more direct routes and provide better access to health care and grocery stores. This year, EMBARK will launch phase two and focus on expanding service hours, creating more accessible bus shelters and making technology improvements like on-board Wi-Fi.
"Research has shown that both riders and non-riders want more frequent service, the latest technology, night service and more bus shelters," said Ferbrache. "The improvements make our service more convenient for current riders and more attractive to those who now choose to drive every day."

Well, now that the dust has finallys ettled, how do you feel about the way your talents work?
Are you finding that they work well together and help you out? Or do you feel more like you're bashing your head against the wall everytime you need to tank?
Well I'm here to help!
Thankfully, the vast majority of protection warrior builds are mostly cookie-cutter. There are a huge number of talents in the protection tree that are unavoidable.
So for almost any and all tanking situations, this is the core build you want to be using: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#LMZhZIcGzRRozru
The differences between the various tanking trees lies in the smaller outlier talents lies mostly in how you prefer to play, what you have trouble with.
There are basically three big areas that you can tailor your tanking build for.
The first one is survivability, the second is single target tanking, and the last is aoe tanking.
Now when it comes to survivability, the very fact that you have to invest in talents to climb down the tree takes care of almost all of that. Once the 31 points in the protection tree have been taken, unless you've made a horrible mistake somewhere, you'll pretty much be set for survival. The big exceptions being, of course, Blood Craze in the fury tree and Field Dressing in the Arms tree. Those are talents that you have to invest some extra points in but you'd be crazy not to.
What comes after that is more down to player preference.
Once you're set with the core talents, you have 5 floating points that you can use to shore up what you think you're weaker in.
Two options available for more threat is War Academy in the Arms tree and Cruelty in the Fury tree. Keep in mind that these serve different purposes. War Academy is used for more sustained threat over a period of time while Cruelty is more if you prefer the chance at a large burst of threat at random intervals.
Another place to dump some points in is Battle Trance in the fury tree if you find yourself having some rage issues. While 15% chance to have a free Shield Slam doesn't sound all that much on paper, over the course of a 5-10 minute fight, it can really make a huge difference to your rage generation.
The last optional talent is Thunderstruck, deep in the protection tree. Now this is a bit more of a specialized case and it's primarily something you want to spec into if you need a bit of help with aoe tanking. Again, it might not seem like that much of a difference, but given that warriors generally don't have much trouble with single target threat, I'm going to put this one as well as one of the single target based talents as a viable option for putting points into.
So as everything else, the one thing, if anything, to take away from all this is to tailor a spec based more on what you're doing and what you're comfortable having and get out there.
We'll start to cover the entry raids soon so stay tuned.

Erosion in NetHack is an attribute that can apply to some items depending on their material. The performance of an eroded weapon (including tools that can be used as weapons (specifically, pick-axes) or piece of armor will be degraded - weapons will have their damage decreased and armor's intrinsic AC bonus will be reduced by one for each level of erosion (in neither case affecting enchantment, and never reducing intrinsic damage or AC below zero). This means a +0 dwarvish iron helm's AC is -2, while a thoroughly rusty +1 dwarvish iron helm's AC is -1. Erosion does not affect an item's other enchantment-based effects; a thoroughly rusty +2 helm of brilliance still provides +2 to INT and WIS. The following types of erosion exist:
Rust affects only items made from iron. It results from wetting (by potion, fountain, pool, etc.) or the attack of a rust monster or gray ooze.
Corrosion affects copper or iron items. Exposure to acidic environments (potions or some monsters) results in this form of damage.
Burning affects wood, leather, cloth, and plastic, and results from fire.
Rotting affects wood, leather, and cloth, and results solely from exposure to brown puddings.
Items can suffer up to three levels of erosion, for example:
very rusty, and
thoroughly rusty. The types of damage do not add; rather the greater damage is used. Thus, a very rusty corroded short sword has a -2 penalty rather than -3. An item can be both thoroughly rusty and thoroughly corroded, but it will never suffer more than 3 points of damage.
Other erodible items
Metal wands, rings, stethoscopes, and skeleton keys can rust and corrode, but this does not affect their performance. Also, if you are polymorphed into an iron golem, rust traps will kill your monster form (even if unchanging, unless you have the half physical damage extrinsic)[1]. All iron golems suffer this fate. Similarly, a wood golem can be rotted and destroyed.
Preventing and curing erosion
Many objects can be protected from erosion, and any existing erosion repaired. A metal object that is so protected identifies as rustproof, and an organic or plastic object identifies as fireproof. The procedure is the same for both types:
- A weapon (including tools that can be used as weapons) can be protected from erosion, and any damage repaired, by wielding it and reading a non-cursed scroll of enchant weapon while confused.
- Any armor can be protected from erosion, and any damage repaired, by wearing it, removing all other armor, and reading a non-cursed scroll of enchant armor while confused.
- Any armor can also be protected from erosion by wearing it, removing all other armor, and reading a cursed scroll of destroy armor while confused. This procedure does not repair existing damage.
- Successfully dipping for Excalibur will remove any existing erosion on the long sword and make it rustproof.
- Any wishable item can be wished for in an unerodable state. (This is achieved either via using an adjective such as "rustproof", or more commonly, "fixed", which is intended for crysknives but shares the same bit in memory as erosion proofing.)
- Items retain erode-proof status when polymorphed. One can create a fireproof bag of holding or magic marker this way, whose presence (as seen in a dump file, for example) would normally indicate a wish.
If the scroll of enchant weapon or armor is cursed, this procedure instead strips the item of any protection from erosion, and has no effect on existing erosion.
No erosion event will ever affect body armor worn under a cloak, nor a shirt worn under body armor or a cloak. One might choose, then, to wear a junk cloak such as a dwarvish cloak to protect a banded mail from rust.
Objects can be temporarily protected from rust or corrosion by greasing them. An event which would normally rust or corrode the item will instead have a chance of removing the grease. Also, one level of rust and/or corrosion can be removed from a weapon by dipping it into a potion of oil.
The prayer boon does not erode-proof your wielded weapon, though it does repair existing damage.
In addition to erode-proofing, blessed items may resist erosion, with a chance dependent on your Luck[2]
In SLASH'EM rust may also be removed from a weapon by applying a whetstone while standing over a water source.
In most cases, using scrolls of enchant armor to erode-proof armor is a waste of resources. Since erosion only affects the object's base AC, and most items don't have more than 1 or 2 base AC, scrolls are usually better spent increasing the enchantment of your gear (unless you are unable to enchant your gear safely any more and don't have enough markers to make use of blanking the surplus scrolls). Many forms of body armor grant 3 or more AC, but usually the only suits you should consider enchanting are dragon scale mail and perhaps mithril-coats, neither of which can erode. Using extra scrolls to fix erosion is an option, however. It might also be worthwhile to fire-proof speed boots, jumping boots, or water walking boots, as any of these will be destroyed should you accidentally step into lava. This applies particularly to Valkyries whose quest contains lava in abundance. Cloak of protection may also be worth erodeproofing, since its base AC is 3.
In contrast, you generally will want an erode-proof main weapon, particularly since the erosion penalty is doubled for double-damage weapons. However, it is rarely necessary to do the erode-proofing yourself: artifact weapons from sacrifice will always be erode-proof, while those from wishes can be explicitly wished for erode-proof. However, in the case of a good weapon found randomly in the dungeon (for example one of the Brands), it is worth spending a scroll of enchant weapon to make it rustproof. Also, cavemen using the Sceptre of Might will also want to make it rustproof, as it is not generated so.
Before NetHack 3.1.0, items did not have erosion as such; rather, damage operated by reducing the enchantment. Thus a rust monster attacked rather like a modern disenchanter, except that its attack was blocked by rustproofing rather than magic cancellation.
