Drew Hastings
"Isn't it ironic that the finest coffees in the world come from countries where no one has a reason to get up in the morning"?
This is a typical observation from Drew Hastings as he surveys the crowd and begins his show in a recent stand-up performance. At 6′6″ tall, clad in a tailored black suit and trademark black horn-rimmed glasses, Hastings is a commanding presence onstage as he launches into a study of the human condition that is both hilarious and self-deprecating. Though his angst can be easily sensed, he is obviously at home onstage.
Raised in Ohio by a British mother, Drew brings to every performance a down-to-earth Mid-western sensibility tempered – or, rather, contradicted with typical British aloofness and condescension.
Drew Hastings is a raconteur with a lot of stories to tell. Before becoming a comedian at age thirty-one, Drew's escapades included owning a trucking business (his story "Homo Truck" is a must-hear), running a document shredding company that never actually shredded any documents, leading archaeological expeditions (some would call him "looter") to South America, and playing polo with stolen horses at polo clubs in Washington, DC and Cincinnati, OH.
And, his foray into psychedelic drug dealing in the early Seventies using a pyramid marketing scheme modeled after Mary Kay Cosmetics is hilarious, though like most of his stories, one never knows when he'll tell it again.
Drew moved from Ohio to Los Angeles in the early 1990's, where he was quickly noticed by the entertainment industry. His acting talent landed him a number of guest-starring roles and he has done television pilots for some of the big networks including Fox, NBC, and HBO. He has also made many stand-up appearances on television and is one of a very elite group of comedians to have received a standing ovation on "The Tonight Show."
His storied and colorful life has been the subject of three different one-person shows, "Commencement Speech," "Life & Other Short Stories" and "The Business of Living," a satire of the success/motivational industry. His character from that show, Jack Freeman, found an immediate cult following in Los Angeles, and in 2001 caught the attention of the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show, where the hilarious Freeman was introduced to a much wider national audience. Drew's initial appearances on the Bob and Tom Show were so well received that he soon became a regular guest, regaling listeners with his stories, questioning his life and everyone else's, and giving his comedic opinions on just about any topic that comes up. Drew spends much of his time headlining with "The Friends of the Bob and Tom Show" which has played over 70 cities thus far.
"The Bob and Tom Show has been a perfect outlet for me," says Drew. "I tend to have a no-nonsense Mid-western attitude and their show is a Midwest-based show with a huge National reach." He adds, "Hollywood has never figured out what to do with me, so I'm just doing it myself."
When he's not touring he can be found on his farm in Ohio.

February 10, 2017 at 8:00 PM Heywood BanksHeywood Banks is simply one-of-a-kind, almost impossible to describe, with a style his very own. Equal parts genius and buffoon, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon, with a show that appeals to college students, stoners, businessmen, yuppies, rednecks, punks, kids or your grandmother.
Heywood has been featured in "Rolling Stone Magazine" and "People Magazine." He won First Place in the Johnnie Walker Comedy Search Contest. Heywood has appeared on A&E's "Evening at the Improv," MTV's "1/2 Hour Comedy Hour," CNN's "Hollywood Minute," "Caroline's Comedy Hour," "Entertainment Tonight," "Showtime Comedy Club Network," "Dr. Demento Show," "12th Annual HBO Young Comedians Special with Paul Rodriguez" and is a frequent guest on the national Bob and Tom radio show.
February 17, 2017 at 8:00 PM Nathan Timmel
Nathan Timmel is a 15-year comedy veteran who has headlined comedy clubs across the country, recorded several comedy CDs (with regular airplay on Sirius/XM), visited the Bob & Tom Show three times, and been overseas to perform for American troops nine times—including stops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
With a set that's well-crafted, clever, and genuine, Nathan's act is a mix of high-brow thinkers and accessible straight-ahead jokes. He keeps audiences on their toes, transitioning seamlessly from loving husband and father to gritty analyst of politics and human nature. He finds humor in everything, from making babies to overcrowded prisons, creating comedy that's intelligent, fun, and engaging with a sprinkling of raucousness. A talented storyteller, he builds on real-life anecdotes that draw you in before hitting you with the punch line you didn't see coming. He's not afraid of using his own life, from his oddball father to his diva toddler, to get you laughing. By the end of his set, he'll leave you wanting more jokes (and his Twitter handle).
February 24, 2017 at 8:00 PM Jeff DyeJeff Dye stars in NBC's new eclectic comedy adventure series "Better Late Than Never." This exciting project will follow the travel of Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw and George Foreman as Jeff gives the adventure of a lifetime.
Jeff is coming off of NBC's alternative comedy-variety series hit called "I Can Do That". Which he is extremely proud of and taught him….
Dye is a nationally touring comedian, actor, host, prankster and Bigfoot enthusiast. Raised in Seattle, this class clown started doing comedy at Giggles Comedy Club right out of high school and was first nationally recognized on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" where he finished third after only three years into his comedy career.
Since then he has had two of his own shows on MTV ("Money From Strangers," "Numbnuts"), his own "Comedy Central Presents" special and stared on numerous other TV projects, including "Girl Code" and "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition."
Dye's passion is bringing love and positivity through laughter to everyone he encounters
March 03, 2017 at 8:00 PM Greg WarrenGreg Warren, most recently seen on Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Late Late Show and Comedy Central Presents, has built a strong fan base with an act inspired by his Midwestern upbringing. His CDs, Running Out of Time (Sept 2013) and One Star Wonder (June 2009) hit #3 and #6 respectively in iTunes Top Comedy Albums. An honest mix of self-deprecation, frustration and an arsenal of lifelike characters highlight Greg's colorful perspective.
Greg attracts a diverse audience spectrum, having performed as a finalist on BET's Coming to the Stage and on Country Music Television. He is a favorite on the nationally syndicated Bob & Tom Radio Show, which led to touring theaters natBasicsionwide with The Bob & Tom All Stars Comedy Tour.
March 10, 2017 at 8:00 PM Tim MeadowsMeadows began performing improvisational comedy at the Soup Kitchen Saloon. Meadows' start in show business was as a member of The Second City comedy troupe alongside future star Chris Farley. In 1991, Meadows landed a spot on Saturday Night Live and would go on to become a longtime cast member, appearing on the program until 2000. (This was the record for the longest tenure on the show until it was surpassed by Darrell Hammond in 2005.) Meadows' lengthy tenure on the show was used as a gag in three monologues when former cast members Phil Hartman and Mike Myers returned to the show to host, and when Alec Baldwin hosted for his twelfth time.
Meadows often spoofed famous personalities including O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey and Erykah Badu on SNL, and one time remarked that he had no character that was identified to him, such as Wayne and Garth being identified to Mike Myers and Dana Carvey. Eventually he did get an original character with Leon Phelps, "The Ladies' Man", a perpetually horny talk show host who believed himself to be the living definition of what females search for in a man. The sketch/character was adapted into a 2000 film, The Ladies Man, which followed the character's attempts to find love and a suitable outlet for his beloved radio program.
Meadows soon moved on to other projects, including a regular role on the short-lived NBC sitcom The Michael Richards Show and a supporting role in the 2004 film The Cookout. He also guest starred as a client on the hit NBC comedy The Office in the second-season episode "The Client". He played a high school principal in Mean Girls, a film written by (and co-starring) fellow SNL cast member Tina Fey. He also had a part in Handsome Boy Modeling School's album White People. In 2007, he appeared in a large supporting role in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.
Meadows has appeared in other feature films, including Coneheads, It's Pat, and Wayne's World 2, all of which were based on popular SNL characters and had varying rates of success. Most recently he was in the 2006 film The Benchwarmers alongside his former SNL co-stars Rob Schneider and David Spade. He was also featured in CBS'sGameshow Marathon (summer 2006), has appeared on The Colbert Report in the recurring role of P.K. Winsome (who made an appearance at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear), and starred in The Bill Engvall Show. He is also a frequent guest on the The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson as a comic field reporter. On May 31, 2008, Meadows threw out a ceremonial first pitch and conducted the seventh-inning stretch at Wrigley Field during a Chicago Cubs game against the Colorado Rockies.
Meadows can frequently be seen performing live at the iO WEST with Heather Campbell and Miles Stroth in their improvised show Heather, Miles, and Tim. Recently, Meadows has been back performing in the Chicago improv scene at the ImprovOlympic and other venues.

This is the personal site of Tom Christopher.
As an artist I have been involved in Fanzines, Underground Comics and the New Wave comics movement, but I am probably best known for my seven year run as inker on Marvels Silver Surfer comic, the most successful version of the character. Since then I have worked on a variety of titles from Marvel and DC including Spiderman, X Men, Superman and Batman. My work has been reviewed in Comic Journal, printed examples of my work are archived in major collections such as the University of Michigan and I have worked on books that have won Eisner and European awards. Some of my originals are in the Royal Library in Alexandria Egypt, and I recently won an award from the International Labor Communications Association.
As a writer I have written the definitive biography of Beat Generation writer Neal Cassady and documented early comic book history. I have been published by the Oxford University Press, Beat Scene Magazine, Steamshovel Press, Comics Buyers Guide, Charlton Spotlight, Comic Book Marketplace and Comics Journal. Portions of my non fiction work is in the permanent collections of many major universities, libraries and manuscript archives, including Stanford, Yale, and the Denver Public Library Western History Collection, and I'm cited several times in Wikipedia.
Who Are You and What Do You Want?

An invitation to a wedding means a call to my gift coordinator, a.k.a my sister, who will divine the answer to the question: What gift to give?
The bride and I both live in New York City, so without a doubt it will be a cash gift. But I've lived in the Midwest and know that the cash-in-the-wedding-card is definitely not standard practice elsewhere. I remember how flimsy my envelope seemed next to all that beautiful gift wrap and silky ribbons on the gift table. A check in the Midwest feels like an afterthought. A gift at a New York City wedding feels like a burden. Who's going to carry it home?
So the big question for my sister, who is the expert based solely on the ridiculous number of weddings she goes to annually, is what number to write on the check. She always asks: "Who is it?" (Meaning, how close are they to you or are they important business contacts?) "Where is the reception?" (A buffet in the church basement nets less than the five-course dinner with live band at a country club.) And, if applicable: "How much did they give you at your wedding?"
Then she comes up with a number that, I've learned, is heart-stopping to people not used to the cash-as-gift world: $200 to $400.
These big numbers go along with New York City being the priciest wedding spot in the country, according to TheKnot.com. A Manhattan wedding averages about $77,000. That trumps the national average, which is $28,427. The most economical place to get hitched is Alaska, where the whole day runs about $15,000.
The equation my sister and I (and many New Yorkers) use -- which takes into account what the bride and groom are spending on the wedding -- is extreme, according to Catey Hill, David's Bridal's resident financial expert and author of "SHOO, Jimmy Choo! The Modern Girl's Guide to Spending Less and Saving More."
"I don't think you have to pay out as much as your plate costs," says Hill. "That's a myth. Think about how close you are to the couple or to their parents and your own budget. You really have to look at what you can afford to spend and sometime it's not what they can afford to spend (per plate)."
Thanks to "save the date" cards, you can budget in advance for a wedding gift, says Hill. If you know a wedding is three months away, figure out how much you can put aside each of those months for the event. Make sure that includes expenses such as travel, a new dress if you need it and that blow-out you know you'll want. And then use that number to figure out your perfect gift.
Which still leaves the question: cash or gift? Nationwide, wedding guests seem split on the issue. According to American Express, 35 percent of guests will buy a gift off the registry and 32 percent will give cash. (The remainder will give a mix of gift cards and other items.) But if you ask the bride and groom what they'd prefer, 52 percent say they prefer cash.
What do guests spend on average for wedding gifts? Keep reading to find out.

Alcohol consumption in early and late pregnancy is associated with poor child reading and writing ability at 8–9 years of age
- Department of Family Medicine, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, Tennessee, USA
- Correspondence to : Dr Beth Bailey, Department of Family Medicine, East Tennessee State University, P.O. Box 70621, Johnson City, TN 37614, USA; nordstro{at}etsu.edu
Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Women should be counselled that no amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy can be considered safe, and heavy and binge drinking specifically can negatively impact child learning and school achievement.
Further research in other populations and addressing the limitations of this study is needed.
Nearly 1 in 10 children may be exposed prenatally to some level of alcohol. Forty years of research has demonstrated a link between prenatal alcohol exposure and a range of developmental problems in children, many of which impact academic achievement. Recent research has found that heavy drinking in early and late pregnancy, as well as binge pattern drinking throughout pregnancy, is associated with deficits in specific academic skills …

Stocks Climb as Apple Shares Rebound
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages rose Thursday as shares of technology behemoth Apple (AAPL) rebounded and investors watched the U.S. "fiscal cliff" debates with a bit more optimism.
The technology sector was posting the biggest gains in the broad market as Apple shares rebounded by 1.4%. CEO Tim Cook made various media appearances, telling Bloomberg and NBC that an existing Mac computer will be manufactured in the U.S next year and that the company will spend $100 million in U.S. production in 2013.
The stock tumbled 6.4% to $538.79 on Wednesday, its biggest single-day loss in four years on reports Wednesday of a margin hike at one clearing firm and concerns over component supplies falling next year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 40 points, or 0.3%, at 13,074. The blue-chip index began the session up 6.8% in 2012.
Breadth was positive, with winners outnumbering losers 20 to eight. The top blue-chip advancers were Intel (INTC) , Cisco (CSCO) , Chevron (CVX) and McDonald's (MCD) .
Sinking to the bottom were AT&T (T) , American Express (AXP) and Travelers (TRV) .
The S&P 500 added 5 points, or 0.33%, to 1,414. The Nasdaq increased 16 points, or 0.52%, at 2,989. The tech-heavy index broke a four-day losing streak.
Advancers edged decliners 1.1-to-1 on the Big Board, but losers beat winners incrementally on the Nasdaq. Volumes totaled 3.17 billion shares on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.70 billion shares on the Nasdaq.
Aside from technology, the consumer-cyclical, services and basic materials sectors were also in the green.
Sector decliners in the broad market included capital goods, financials and energy.
On Wednesday afternoon, Republicans made a move to support a bipartisan call to break the gridlock over the "fiscal cliff" talks, especially regarding tax hikes for the richest Americans. As many as 40 Republicans were reportedly pressing for the exploration of "all options."
Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas, and Suvrat Prakash, an interest rate strategist at the firm, said they believe a deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff will be made before year-end and that there's a high likelihood the U.S. debt ceiling will be raised.
"The administration has said that the debt ceiling must be raised as part of a fiscal cliff deal," Dwyer and Prakash said. "The Obama administration is pushing for a permanent increase of the debt ceiling, which they are not likely to get. We expect another one-year extension (or roughly $1 trillion) with another increase tied to the next round of fiscal negotiations."
The European markets finished Thursday higher, with the FTSE 100 in London closing up 0.16% and the DAX in Germany finishing up 1.07%.
The European Central Bank on Thursday kept its benchmark rate unchanged at a record low of 0.75%.

The only thing close I have been able to find is 2004 7542 from puerhshop, but after the bloggers that received fake teas I'm not sure I want to order from them. If anyone has any classic recipes, especially 7542, that are around 10 years old let me know how much you would sell them for. I'd also be interested if anyone knows of a store that sells them.

Smog Check and Car Inspection in Maryland
SUMMARY: Maryland Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program
Maryland requires that all vehicles undergo emissions testing every 2 years. Certain extensions and waivers are available for some residents. Some motorists, such as new residents, must also bring their vehicles for safety inspections.
The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) governs the state's Vehicle Emissions Inspection Program (VEIP) to monitor vehicle emissions output in Maryland. Continue reading for testing requirements, fees, and special extension and waiver information.
New Maryland Residents
If you've recently moved to Maryland, your vehicle must undergo both an emissions test AND a safety inspection.
You'll need to complete your safety inspection BEFORE you can transfer your title and registration. Safety inspections must be conducted at licensed Maryland safety inspection locations, which include most service stations, auto dealers, and specialized service centers. Your inspection certificate is valid for 90 days.
You have within 60 days of moving to Maryland to register your vehicle. Once you do so, your MVA agent will explain emissions testing procedures. Typically after registration, you'll receive a notice providing instructions on when and how to complete the emissions inspection.
Check Completing a MD Vehicle Inspection below for more details.
Inspection Requirements & Exemptions
Inspection Requirements
All vehicles* registered in Maryland are subject to emissions testing every 2 years. This coincides with your registration renewal, but you'll receive an emissions test notice approximately 8 weeks before your vehicle's test deadline.
All used vehicles and new resident vehicles registered in Maryland must undergo initial safety inspections upon titling and registering the vehicles. Learn more at Completing a MD Vehicle Inspection below.
* NOTE: As of October 1, 2012, hybrid vehicles aren't considered exempt from emissions testing; they must be scheduled for an emissions test when the vehicle becomes 3 years old.
Inspection Exemptions
Currently, no vehicles are exempt from emissions testing; however, there are senior and disabled citizen waivers.
Senior Citizen Waivers
You can apply for a senior citizen waiver if:
- You and ALL other vehicle owners are at least 70 years old.
- You drive fewer than 5,000 miles annually.
To apply, indicate on the back of your emissions test notice:
- That you and each owner on the vehicle's title are at least 70 years old.
- Your vehicle's current mileage.
- Your signature and the date.
Mail the completed emissions test notice to the VEIP address listed on the form.
Disabled Citizen Waivers
You can apply for a disabled citizen waiver if:
- Your vehicle has metal disabled registration plates.
- You drive fewer than 5,000 miles annually.
To apply, indicate on the back of your emissions test notice:
- That all vehicle owners are disabled.
- The current mileage of your vehicle.
- Your signature and the date.
Mail your notice to the VEIP address listed on your form.
Completing a MD Vehicle Inspection
Emissions Tests
To have your vehicle checked for emissions, choose from among the Maryland vehicle emissions stations and bring:
- Your MVA emissions test notice.
- Your registration card can act as a substitute.
- Identification if you're paying by check*.
- The $14 fee.
- $15 penalty fee if you arrive after the due date; additional $15 penalty fee every 28 days thereafter.
Once your vehicle passes its emissions check, you'll receive a Vehicle Emissions Inspection Certificate and a diagnostics report. Your certificate or MD emissions testing technician will advise you on how to move forward.
* Maryland emissions testing locations accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express, money orders, personal checks, traveler's checks, and cash.
Applying for an Extension
Under certain circumstances (such as being out of state), your vehicle might be eligible for a Maryland emissions test extension.
To apply visit the VEIP online extension page, or contact VEIP at (410) 768-7000.
Safety Inspections for Used Vehicles
Most used vehicles and new resident vehicles must undergo safety inspections before initial titling and registration. These vehicles include:
- Cars.
- Trucks.
- Motorcycles.
- Tractors.
- Trailers.
- Special equipment.
- Class B "for hire" vehicles.
Vehicles must be inspected at licensed Maryland safety inspection locations, which include most auto dealers, service stations, and specialized service centers.
When applicable, the inspection location will require:
- Proof of the vehicle's value.
- A lease agreement and proof of your monthly lease payments.
- Any lien information, including lien release documents.
- Power of attorney documentation.
Generally, safety inspections involve testing the vehicle's basic safety components, such as the:
- Steering wheel.
- Brakes.
- Wheels, tires, and rims.
- Mirrors.
- Glass.
- Horn.
- Lights and signals.
Safety inspection certificates are valid for 90 days, meaning you must title and register your vehicle before that time period is up.
NOTE: If your vehicle fails the safety inspection, you must have it repaired and retested.
Failed Emissions Inspections
If your vehicle fails its Maryland emissions tests, you must have it repaired and retested. Maryland provides a list of VEIP Certified Emissions Repair Facilities (CERFs), but you may choose your own mechanic or do the repairs yourself. If your vehicle is still under warranty, a dealership might need to make the repairs.
You get 1 retest for free if you complete the test by the "valid through" date; each test after that costs the original fee.
Repair Waivers
You can apply for a repair waiver with the VEIP if you meet EACH of the following requirements:
- Your vehicle failed the initial emissions test, you made the necessary repairs, and the vehicle failed again.
- Your repairs cost a minimum of $450 and you can provide receipts or invoices documenting the cost.
- Any emissions-related repairs were made up to 30 days before the initial inspection and up to 120 days after the last inspection.
Complete and submit to the testing technician the back of your emissions test notice. If granted, your repair waiver is valid for 2 years from your original test date.
About the MD Inspection Program
MD emissions testing consists of a gas cap test, an on-board diagnostics (OBD) test, or an idle tailpipe test.
Gas Cap Test
All vehicles are subject to a gas cap test unless the OBD test is used to determine fuel emissions output.
On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) Test
OBD tests connect emissions testing equipment to the vehicle's computer system to determine whether the vehicle's emissions components are working properly.
The following vehicles undergo OBD testing:
- Passenger cars and light-duty trucks model year 1996 and newer.
- Heavy-duty trucks that:
- Are model year 2008 and newer.
- Weigh up to 14,000 lbs.
- Are model year 2008 and newer.
Idle Tailpipe Test
The idle tailpipe test checks for emissions output while the vehicle is running at idle (after having driven at highway speeds for at least 20 minutes).
The following vehicles undergo idle tailpipe testing:
- Passenger cars and light-duty trucks model year 1977 to 1995.
- Heavy-duty vehicles:
- Model year 1977 to 2007 weighing up to 14,000 lbs.
- Model year 1977 and newer weighing 14,000 to 26,000 lbs.
Maryland Incentives for Eco-Friendly Driving
Currently, no vehicles are exempt from emissions testing; however, motorists can still benefit from eco-friendly driving.

12 Things Ralph Lauren Can't Live Without
The television star and design-lover shares her favorite thingsMore
As a teen who enjoyed decorating her own room, Ellen DeGeneres discovered her first big design lesson: Water beds are not, in fact, all that comfortable. "I can't believe my parents let me have one," she says. "You live and learn." Television's talk-show sweetheart has emerged as the design world's biggest fan-girl—albeit one with a taste level to rival that of some of the nation's top decorators. She has traded in the Pier 1 rattan chairs of her youth for designer collectibles by Prouvé and Perriand. With her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, she has also purchased, renovated, and sold more than a half-dozen homes in the last few years. (Their stunning makeover of a Southern California ranch appeared on the cover of ELLE DECOR in May 2013.) Her next project is Ellen's Design Challenge, a reality competition for furniture designers set to debut next year on HGTV. The best design has a "touch of whimsy," she says, "and should feel relaxed."

No Meat Athlete? - Page 3
Eating Lower on the Food Chain
On top of the nutritional advantages, eating less animal-based products benefits the environment. Americans eat nearly 200 pounds of meat, poultry and fish per capita per year. A 2010 United Nations report tells us eating this much meat is damaging to the environment. Cows in particular, emit methane, a gas the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency claims is "20 times more effective in trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide."
Eating vegetarian or vegan means using fewer resources. A 2008 German study concluded that a meat-eater's diet is responsible for more than seven times as much greenhouse-gas emissions as a vegan's diet. According to Environmental Defense, an environmental advocacy group, if every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and substituted vegetarian foods instead, the carbon-dioxide-emission savings would be the same as taking more than half a million cars off U.S. roads.

This is a living document. Please check back frequently for any changes and updates.
What is CrashPlan?
CrashPlan is a secure, continuous backup software product that protects your critical data. As you change your data, it stores and versions those changes. You can use the client software to view or recover your files wherever you may be. CrashPlan is not meant to completely restore your computer in the event of catastrophic failure (bare metal recovery).
What it is NOT?
CrashPlan is a backup solution; it's not a file synchronization utility. Such utilities (for example, Dropbox, Google Drive) are meant to provide a 1-to-1 copy of files across multiple clients. They make copies of your files and store them in a cloud repository. As changes are made to the files in any client, those changes are sent to the central repository and then pushed down to the other clients. If you delete a file on your iPad, the application will delete it from all other clients as soon as they connect to the cloud. This is not the case with CrashPlan.
Can I use it to backup my server?
CrashPlan was not built nor implemented to backup servers.
What does it mean it is a pilot?
We are assessing the viability of deploying CrashPlan across campus, as well as determining the right level of protection we can offer. Your participation in this pilot and your input will play a vital role in that determination.
Who supports CrashPlan?
CrashPlan is a pilot program offered by the Office of Research Computing, and is not supported by ITS Help Desk.
How do I install/uninstall CrashPlan?
An email message is usually sent to each user once they are added to the system.
Can I invite my friend/colleague/coworker to use CrashPlan?
At this point, CrashPlan is only available to a select pilot audience. If you and your group/department/center are interested in participating, please let us know at the email address in "I need help! I want to help!" section.
Where does it work (home/campus)?
CrashPlan works on- (wired and wireless connections) and off-campus, as long as your network allows for the software to connect back to the server.
What files does it backup?
By default, the system will back up all files under the user profile. If the total data exceeds the limit of 100GB, some files might need to be excluded by the user.
What is the data retention?
If you erase a file that was previously backed-up, the system will keep that file for 90 days.
Can I delete my file and still access the backup?
CrashPlan by default will keep multiple versions of a backed-up file.
Is my backup encrypted?
The data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and cannot be decrypted at the destination without the user's password.
What about redundancy?
We are currently deploying a single backup server. CrashPlan software can backup to multiple destinations, including network and local attached drives, so you can create a "redundant" copy by telling your CrashPlan client to backup to your own local storage.
How do I recover a (deleted/overwritten) file?
There are two ways to restore data: from the local machine (launch the client software and login) and from the web client (go to the pilot server access webpage and login). If you need some help, check this website or contact us at the email address in the "I need help! I want to help!" section of this FAQ.
What is my CrashPlan password?
It is the same password as your AD (email) password.
I need help! I want to help!
Please send an email message to firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: Shared concerns over violence among Mexico's drug gangs and broader issues related to discrimination and human rights violations against immigrants and their impact on the church were discussed by bishops from dioceses along the Texas-Mexico border during a three-day meeting that ended on March 3. Gathering in El Paso, across the border from Ciudad Juárez, ground zero in Mexico's drug war and the site of thousands of murders annually, the 10 bishops also discussed pastoral issues related to the celebration of the sacraments. The bishops agreed to coordinate practices on both sides of the border, making it easier for U.S. residents to get married or have their children baptized in Mexico in front of relatives who find it difficult to cross the border because of the violence. Mexico's crackdown on organized crime and drug cartels has claimed more than 35,000 lives over the past four years.

Date with a climate-change denier
He was tall and cute and the perfect amount of awkward. Our first date was on a balmy Tucson evening in January. I scootched back in my chair and crossed my legs beneath my sundress as he asked, "What do you write about?"
"Right now, I'm writing a lot about food."
"Oooh!" he said. "Like restaurant reviews?"
"Well, sort of. I'm interested in how our food systems affect the climate."
He nodded and thought this over. "Do you think this whole climate change thing is going to catch on?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know, 'global warming'?" His voice wore italics and, though his hands didn't leave the table, his fingers became bobbing quotation marks.
I opened my mouth and paused. He smiled that uncomfortable first-date smile and took a sip of his beer.
Hmm, I thought. Yes. The climate is changing, has changed, and humans are central to the story. Sheets of ice are cleaving away from glaciers and more and more carbon dioxide and methane molecules are swarming through the atmosphere, heating it up, and they will continue to do so whether or not the "idea" of global warming, you know, "catches on."
My date took another sip of beer and stared at me with the blue eyes that had prompted me to give him my phone number in the first place.
"I think climate change already has caught on?" I said, hating how my voice rose into a question mark. "I think it's happening? And I think a lot of people agree that, um, it's a … big deal," I said.
"Hmm," he said, and nodded, considering this. He smiled, and in a teasing, flirtatious tone, said, "So you're all into that, the global warming stuff?"
Some believe that the climate deniers will just die out. Not many in my generation get riled up about interracial marriage, for instance -- it is, for most of us, entirely a non-issue -- and many say that attitudes toward climate change could similarly shift with time. The academic term for old ideas dying along with old people is called "cohort replacement," and according to this logic, all we have to do is wait.
According to this logic, however, an eligible young woman does not find herself on a date with a very cute 28-year-old man who puts "global warming" in quotation marks.
"Well … I sort of don't think climate change is something to be believed in," I said haltingly. "I mean, it kind of … is." I hesitated, wondering, should I go further?
He changed the subject. "So you said you work at the UA?" he asked. "What do you do?"
I chuckled. "I work in the University's Office of Sustainability."
"Sweet! What do you do there? What exactly is sustainability?" he asked, all blinking blue eyes and lanky curiosity.
Finally, the date ended. I called my sister as I biked home across campus to tell her about my foray back into dating. We laughed -- how did I find these people? He was 6-foot-4 to my 6-foot-1: a rare find. He was sweet and courteous: so much potential. He had a college degree!
"How did you meet him?" my sister asked.
"A coffee shop."
"Climate deniers drink coffee?"
"You need a better screening process," she said.
"How do you screen for 'acceptance of climate change'?" I asked.
I rolled through the dust and heat of a 70-degree winter's evening and wondered how I should have responded to his question. How do we talk about something as big as global warming on something so small as a first date? And yet -- how can we not? For those of us that live in the desert Southwest -- indeed, for all of those that live in extreme climates around the world -- it is impossible to ignore the fact that annual temperatures and precipitation levels have already swerved far away from the norm.
What can I say? Yes, climate change is a big and scary idea, but there are all sorts of things we -- no, I'm sorry, I'm afraid there will be no "we" after tonight -- there are all sorts of things you can and should do to help work towards a solution.
The problem is that "believing" in climate change is not as simple as learning the facts. Psychologists have found that people absorb information selectively, picking and choosing those facts that fit into their already-established worldviews. Yet psychologists have also found that familiarity breeds fondness: Repeated exposure to a new idea leads to progressively lower fear and avoidance and even, eventually, sometimes, to acceptance.
Perhaps my Friday evening offered my blinking blue-eyed date the chance to ease his mind into the idea -- the very big, scary idea -- that our world is warming rapidly and we'd better do something about it. But somebody else would have to offer him a second exposure to the concept.
Megan Kimble runs, hikes and bikes around Tucson, where she's a student in University of Arizona's MFA program for creative nonfiction.
BTW, the reason why a glacier calves ice into an ocean is because the ice upstream is GROWING and pushing the edge of the glacier off of the land mass on which the glacier rests.
It's a pity that your adherence to global warming denial does not allow you to deal with facts and reality. Your obvious intelligence would function more effectively if you did so.
"The average temperature across land and ocean surfaces during October was 14.63°C (58.23°F). This is 0.63°C (1.13°F) above the 20th century average and ties with 2008 as the fifth warmest October on record. The record warmest October occurred in 2003 and the record coldest October occurred in 1912. This is the 332nd consecutive month with an above-average temperature. The last below-average month was February 1985. The last October with a below-average temperature was 1976."
You're better off avoiding evidence deniers of any stripe. These people will bring you down.
We are so beyond being able to "do something about" global warming. I suspect that the very concept of the human race sticking it's collective foot out to slow the beast of change does disservice to this issue. What we need now, is to focus on changing and adapting to a new world. Things will not continue as they always have. We are no longer be able to rely upon staples growing where they always have, animals living where we expect them to and water being available for everything we've come to rely upon it for. We will either learn how to live with less or we will die a slow, agonizing and painful death, as other species before us already have. It is not global warming we need to do something about. It is our behavior and expectations that we need to do something about.

Not so great
Posted by Reviewer1680194 on Apr 24, 2008
I was really excited to gives this a try as an anxiety aid, based on the raving reviews here, but I was sorely disappointed. I never planned on taking it regularly, only during periods of expected stress and anxiety, but I found that this supplement seemed to have no effect. I have taken it during the morning and afternoon, and saw no difference in my state of mind.
Didn't do it for me...

My couselor suggested that I try these capsules to help relax me without the use of prescription drugs. Unfortunately, I felt nothing. I was really disappointed b/c I've been on over 13 different meds to manage my anxiety and really wanted this all natural capsule to work. It's back to the prescription pad for me....
It didn't work for me...

Ihave tried this product for 2 wks now and have had no results - nada, zip, nothing - and most importantly -- no sleep. I am so very disappointed - and very tired.

New research predicts the future of coral reefs under climate change 05/01/2017 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete and delegates at the close of the 14th AMCEN meeting
Arusha, Tanzania, 14 September 2012 - Environment ministers and government representatives from over forty African countries on Friday adopted a set of flagship programmes and decisions that could catalyse a new wave of sustainable development on the continent as they agreed to adopt a common voice and remain fully engaged in the implementation of the Rio+20 outcome document.
At the end of the fourteenth regular session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN), the first meeting post Rio+20, the ministers adopted documents covering a raft of areas, from sustainable development in the context of an inclusive green economy to a common stance on climate change negotiations to the strengthening of UNEP.
"The conference recognizes the Green Economy as an important tool for realizing sustainable development and for eradicating poverty in Africa," said Mr. Kikwete. "However, there is a need to maximize the opportunities of a Green Economy transition across a wider range of relevant sectors from natural resource management to transport and clean energy systems."
"African ministers therefore decided to establish mechanisms for a coordinated support to countries for the promotion of a Green Economy, including development of partnerships, national strategies, promotion of regional and international cooperation and transfer of resource efficient and green technologies and know-how," he added.
The ministers agreed to endorse an updated common position to ensure Africa's participation in priority issues such as the climate talks leading up to the 18th Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC in Doha later this year.
Other decisions adopted include:
UN Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner said that Africa had a key role to play in international negotiations that could secure a better future for the continent.
"The follow up to Rio+20 needs to mark a moment of renewed commitment, greater urgency and a turning point in terms of implementation of what has already been agreed," he told delegates at the conference.
"A fully engaged Africa at the UN General Assembly and beyond can assist greatly in ensuring that the gains made at Rio+20 are not only secured, but acted upon in order to boost the lives and livelihoods of now one billion Africans and six billion others across this extraordinary world."
Flagship programmes for realizing sustainable development in Africa will be further developed and implemented, taking into account cooperation frameworks.
AMCEN flagship programmes include:
Regarding the strengthening and upgrading of UNEP, which was one of the key outcomes of Rio+20, the ministers urged the General Assembly to:
The ministers also requested additional measures beyond the Rio+20 agreement, including upgrading regional offices and establishing five sub-regional offices in Africa, as well as establishing a universal membership body known as the Environment Assembly with a ministerial segment called the Ministerial Conference on Environment.
Mounkaila Goumandakoye, Regional Director of UNEP's Regional Office for Africa, said UNEP would support all the decisions adopted by the ministers.
"In addition to the provision of secretariat services, our support will focus on scientific and technical advisory services as we increase assistance to African countries in the implementation of the Rio+20 outcomes, taking into account the threat that climate change continues to pose," he said.
"Our collaboration with AMCEN will also focus on programmatic support in the design and implementation of programmes, in line with the regional flagship programmes identified at this session, that respond to the needs and priorities of countries in the areas of sound environmental management," he added.

Topic: Best Way Upload mp3
Hey all,
I was just wondering what the best way to upload an mp3 file is?
At current I attempted to use File_column, however, even tho it gets the path correct to where it is meant to be uploading the file, it does not actual perform the upload.
I have the form set as a multipart form, and the correct code is in the model.

When you use SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "have_%" to see whether a particular feature is enabled, you will note the value of NO for some, and DISABLED for others. These values are not intrinsically clear for the casual onlooker, and often cause confusion. Typically, this happens with SSL and InnoDB. So, here is a quick clarification!
- NO means that the feature was not enabled (or was actively disabled) in the build. This means the code and any required libraries are not present in the binary.
- DISABLED means that the feature is built in and capable of working in the binary, but is disabled due to relevant my.cnf settings.
- YES means the feature is available, and configured in my.cnf.
SSL tends to show up as DISABLED, until you configure the appropriate settings to use it in my.cnf (SHOW VARIABLES LIKE "ssl_%"). From then on it will show up as YES.
Depending on your MySQL version and distro build, InnoDB can be disabled via the "skip-innodb" option. Obviously that's not recommended as InnoDB should generally be your primary engine of choice!
However, InnoDB can also show up as DISABLED if the plugin fails to load due to configuration or other errors on startup. When this happens, review the error log (often redirected to syslog/messages) to identify the problem.
If InnoDB is configured as the default storage engine, failed initialisation of the plugin should now result in mysqld not starting, rather than starting with InnoDB disabled, as obviously InnoDB is required in that case.

King Louis XIV censored Moliere's 1664 play Tartuffe after determining audience members might too easily confuse the titular priest's hypocritical nature with every priest in real life. According to the king, some priests' "true devotion leads on the path to heaven," while others' "vain ostentation of some good works does not prevent from committing some bad ones."
The king's judgment in many ways also describes individuals who pursue their religious vocations while simultaneously championing secular causes such as proxy shareholder resolutions. This leads to more of the same kind of confusion that King Louie was worried about. Coming from the other direction, groups that recruit nuns, priests, and other religious and clergy to promote these resolutions under the pseudo-spiritual guise of "corporate social responsibility" and "social justice" aren't being clear about intended objectives. The aim of all this is not salvation of the soul, but political organizing.
While Tartuffe deceived his hosts' willfully, those proxy shareholders who belong to religious orders may or may not be unwittingly promoting such secular resolutions as, for example, bans on hydraulic fracturing that have nothing to do with their vows. As for the secular groups who join them, could it be possible they even more resemble Moliere's priest by seeking grace on the cheap when they deploy religious, nuns and clergy to assist in the promotion of proxy resolutions?
And at what point do these faithful cease advocacy of spiritual matters and become mere secular activists?

I placed an order with Jing Tea Shop on 10/1 - a Friday. They shipped promptly on the very next business day - 10/4 - a Monday, via China Airmail Post. I still haven't received the package 3 weeks later.
My question is - should I give up hope, or would it be realistic to continue to watch for the postman to come with my goody bag? Of course I'll continue to watch and hope even if it's unrealistic, but I might order more tea from someone closer like Tea Trekker or Seven Cups.

Bioshock Infinite is more than a simple first person game: Irrational Games has inserted so many unique elements that really set apart this game from everything else. While there may not be as many weapons available as in other first person games, there are more creative ways to dispose of enemies than just shooting at them with weapons. Vigors play a big role during battle since they all have some unique features which make them pretty good in disposing of some type of enemies. At the same time Vigors effects can be combined to create some truly devastating attacks. The special Vigors also give more depth to the game since they are more effective when used against certain types of enemies and less effective when used against others.
In Bioshock Infinite pretty much everything can be upgraded, making the gameplay experience even deeper. And if all this isn't enough, you are also able to improve the potency of your Health, Salts and Shield with the use of Infusions.
Infusions are phials of potent formula which will boost your stats to a maximum of ten per phial. If you have the Early Bird Special Pack you will be able to use five bonus phials of infusion. Every time you find an infusion you will be able to upgrade of the three stats.
Even though you may not really require all the upgrades to be able to complete the game on the normal difficulty setting you may still want to find them all if you're a completionist and if you're aiming to get all the trophies/ achievements of the game: the "Infused with Greatness" trophy/achievement will get unlocked once you find every infusion, with the exception of the ones introduced by extra DLCs.
The Infusions are scattered all over the game's world: some of them may be quite tricky to find and that's where we come in. In the Infusion guides we will be covering all the available Infusions and their locations, starting from the ones found Comstock Center Rooftops and ending with the ones found in Comstock House.
Before taking off with Elizabeth for Paris you'll be on the First Lady Zeppelin: the infusion phial is found on a desk. It's pretty hard to miss it since it's easily visible.

Posted on 08/30/2005 6:57:19 AM PDT by since1868
Aug 19, 2005 -- Circuit Court Judge John H. Chamblin this morning reduced a jurys recommended sentence by five years for an Ashburn man convicted of felony child abuse and malicious wounding of an infant. The decision to reduce the sentence angered the prosecutor and at least one of the 12 jurors.
(Excerpt) Read more at leesburg2day.com ...
Democrats will want this man elevated to the Supreme Court.
Remember - per Judge Lefkow of Chicago, you CANNOT criticize judges anymore because it puts their lives in danger (except conservatives like Judge Roberts).
I spent some time looking over the sex offender website for NC. It appears to me that about 1/2 of these guys recieved probation only sentences.
It wasn't his fault, it was Society's.
The guy branded an X into an infant with a lighter.
How do you not recommend the absolute maximum?
No to mention he was the mothers "boyfriend."
I'm sure she isn't the wisest mother on earth...
At the time of the crimes, which occurred April 9, 2004, Miller was dating the infants mother, who was at work during the abuse. Miller burned the child with a lighter, branded an X on the infant and broke the childs jaw. The doctors report listed 15 injuries the child sustained, which included bleeding of the brain, heavy bruising, cuts and multiple circular burns.
Hey call me an extremist but hanging needs to make a comeback.
With any luck this cretin won't survive 15 days in prison, must less 15 years... child abusers are NOT tolerated...
Just for the perp or for the perp and Judge.
What, you think there's honor among scum?
Or do you think prison is really like what we see on TV?
Rock on!!! Public stoning, public humiliation like being forced to wear a sign on a street corner all day saying I AM A CHILD ABUSER.
Here in MA a loser who abused an animal got 2 1/2 years, a loser who sexually abused a child got 2 years, go figure.
How much time did the scum who killed Jeffrey Curley get? They really needed to be publicly executed.
Probably not, I'm thinking it's Bush's fault, just like everything else is, including Katrina. (wait and see)
I was thinking karl Rover generated katrina, to take the coverage off of Cindy Sheehan...
(Actually, I think the more coverage this person gets, the better. Kinda like Michael Moore.)
The Jeffrey Curley case was pathetic all the way around, the brutal killing plus the ridiculous sentencing, I'm with the other poster, BRING BACK PUBLIC STONING, BRING BACK PUBLIC HANGING!
I agree, give SINdy more air time, dems won't be in power til the year 3050!!
Because the kid's still alive and doing well...That's where I disagree with O'Reilly...
If you get 20 or 30 years, or life in prison, you may as well kill the kid and try to get rid of the evidence...It's sometimes the difference between abused and alive, and dead...
Let me try again as I have no idea what was offensive in my previous post.
When the public officals will not carry out the will of the citizens, the citizens will act.
heck I say draw and quarter his discusting butt
Well, I hope it's like that prison they mentioned on a recent Cold Case Files program.
Seemed this one POS got life insurance policies on his wives and then pushed them off cliffs. He got away with it in the 70s but got nailed for that and another one in the 90s (I think).
Got sent to prison. A few months later he was found dead at the bottom of a 30' cliff with a piece of tape over his mouth and the word "GERONIMO!" written on his forehead.
The prison reported it as a [ahem] suicide.
It was the first time I stood up and clapped while watching TV.
The Curley case should've been tried by the feds, and not just for the possibility of the death penalty, either.
"What, you think there's honor among scum?"
I have had two close friends who worked at prisons. Child abusers/rapists should fear for their lives in prison from what I hear.
Time for some flyers and picketing the judge's home and neighborhood?

Neighborhood 'Child Rapist' Signs Blamed For Sex Offender's Suicide
That was a heartwarming story. I hope the people who are mopping up their own neighbrhood face no problems in the future.
The funny thing,if you are not familar with Ashburn.
It is a white collar town.Can not get a town house for under 400k. Houses start at 675k.
I will assume this couple rented.
That's the ticket!
Let's put panties on his head, and make him look at nekkid wimmin!
Screw the torture; just kill him somewhat slowly.
My mother-in-law works at a prison in Upstate NY and most of the inmates do have families of their own. They don't take kindly to anyone who mistreats kids (even if they might not have been the most loving fathers themselves.)
Let's hope this guy is in the general population and word gets out as to what he is in for. Let's see who gets branded with a lighter then.......

On June 27-29, the State Department welcomed the other members of the P5 -- China, France, Russia, and the United Kingdom -- to discuss the implementation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
Senior policy and defense officials and technical staff from these four countries and the United States continued the dialogue that the permanent members of the UN Security Council -- the P5 -- are having to advance their nuclear nonproliferation and disarmament commitments under the 2010 NPT Review Conference's Action Plan.
The Action Plan reflects the understanding that efforts to strengthen the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty must be balanced among the three pillars of the NPT: countries with nuclear weapons will move toward nuclear disarmament, countries without nuclear weapons will not acquire them, and all members in compliance with their nonproliferation obligations can have access to peaceful nuclear energy. All NPT Parties, nuclear-weapon and non-nuclear-weapon states alike, have rights and responsibilities under the Treaty.
Under the Obama Administration, the United States has worked with our P5 partners to advance a regular dialogue on nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation, confidence-building measures, and verification and monitoring. The Washington meeting was the third conference held by the P5 and follows similar meetings in London in 2009 and in Paris in 2011.
The unique dynamic that is being developed among the five nuclear-weapon states under the NPT is important for establishing a firm foundation to build a broader multilateral approach. It complements the long-standing U.S.-Russia nuclear disarmament interaction and may one day pave the way for further disarmament efforts.
At the Washington Conference, the P5 reaffirmed their unconditional support for the NPT and the NPT Review Conference's Action Plan, reaffirmed the commitments to promote and ensure the swift entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) and its universalization, discouraged abuse of the NPT withdrawal provision (Article X), stressed the need to strengthen International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards and promote universalization of the Additional Protocol, and worked to pursue their shared goal of nuclear disarmament under Article VI of the NPT. The P5 continued their discussion of how to report on their relevant activities, and considered proposals for a standard reporting form. The P5 also discussed ways to kick start negotiations on a verified treaty banning the production of fissile material for use in nuclear weapons that has stalled in the Conference on Disarmament.
China will lead a P5 working group to develop a glossary of definitions for key nuclear terms, which will increase P5 mutual understanding and facilitate further P5 discussions on nuclear matters. Developing more mutual cooperation of this kind is a positive step that can lead to deeper engagement on nuclear weapons issues and greater mutual confidence.
The United States has an excellent record in transparency across-the-board -- publicly declaring our nuclear stockpile numbers; participating in voluntary and treaty-based inspections measures; working with other nations on military-to-military, scientific, and lab exchanges, sponsoring site visits; and frequently briefing others on our nuclear programs and disarmament efforts.
In this spirit, the United States briefed participants at the P5 conference on U.S. activities at the Nevada National Security Site to encourage discussion on additional approaches to transparency. And in a tour of the U.S. Nuclear Risk Reduction Center, which is located at the State Department, P5 representatives observed how the United States maintains a communications center capable of simultaneously implementing notification regimes under a number of arms control treaties and agreements.
As a further measure of U.S. leadership on transparency the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) announced at the conference that it had released an updated report, titled The United States Plutonium Balance, which details the U.S. plutonium inventory through September 2009.
This year's conference was a success, as were its predecessors. China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States agreed to continue to meet at all appropriate levels on nuclear issues to further promote dialogue, predictability, and mutual confidence. We plan to hold a fourth P5 conference in the context of the next NPT Preparatory Committee in 2013.
You can read the entire P5 Joint Statement, as agreed in Washington, D.C., here.

Ashim C. in India writes:
Having acquired nuclear power status, it is easy for P5 to agree on NPT. But it means little so long all 5 do not volunteer to disclose their stockpile number and offer their inspection as US has done. Such gestures should be made by China particularly because it is by far the most agressive among the P5 and most feared by countries around it for the agressive manner in which it pursues it's territorial aggrandisement policies. It is strange that US and Western European countries choose to over look this because of their dependence on China for trade and commerce though they are fully aware of Chinese attitude. Rest assured China will not support moves of international community to contain Iran's nuclear program for instance. Key to success of NPT would be ability to contain Chinese agressiveness and ability of US primarily to announce it's automatic intervention wherever and whenever China behaves unreasonably against any nation.
Klaus S. in Japan writes:
I am afraid that Article VI of the NPT will not be implemented in its entirety unless UN Member States (other than the P5) begin to confer primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security on the Security Council and embark on the transitioon envisaged in the UN Charter.

If utilities effectively use these techniques, they can lower operating losses, and increase system stability during peak loading conditions that typically occur over a 1-2 hour period each month, and may approach 30% of the system capacity. May also involve distributed generation or customer demand response.

New director eyes reforms
TRUMAN – In her first meeting as interim director at Prairieland, Billeye Rabbe offered the board of directors a line-by-line explanation of the budget Friday.
Rabbe, who also works as solid waste coordinator for Faribault and Martin counties, began the meeting with a presentation, noting Prairieland is going through changes: a change in directors and a potential in focus, as the waste-processing facility considers joining forces with Green Photon Power, which has a Winnebago office. According to its website, Green Photon Power is a develops and manages all forms of waste-to-energy and biomass technologies; land remediation; recycling; and biofuels production.
Rabbe said she plans to move Prairieland forward: drafting a five-year plan and budget projections.
For the past month, she has been going through the files, studying the budget, talking to employees and seeking answers.
Rabbe's objectives for Prairieland, which is owned by Martin and Faribault counties, are for it to serve a purpose; give taxpayers a product; and be a positive part of the community, state and solid waste process.
She said she has received lots of phone calls from people since she was named interim director.
"People want the services Prairieland offers," she said.
On the plus side, she noted the mortgage is paid off, Prairieland has "terrific employees," and the facility is contributing to production of electrical power.
Rabbe wants to sell assets that Prairieland no longer uses, cut expenses and boost revenue.
To decrease expenses, she wants to carefully sort and truck the garbage that comes in; improve storage for those times when the Wilmarth power plant in Mankato is off line and can't take Prairieland's refuse; eliminate overtime; cut subscriptions and memberships; and find a way to handle peak electricity use.
Rabbe noted Prairieland has five fewer employees than it did two years ago, making it difficult to catch up on non-essential work, such as cleaning.
To control power costs, Rabbe wants to switch to generators during peak usage. In 2012, Prairieland spent $102,000 on electricity; in 2013, it has been $43,000 so far.
Rabbe said she is determined to turn Prairieland around.
"We have a huge investment here; we can't just drop it and leave," she said. "It's a fabulous facility."
She said June saw 156 fewer tons come in than projected, which means less revenue for Prairieland.
Rabbe asked the two county boards for $23,500; Martin County's share is $13,865 and Faribault County's is $9,635. The county boards will decide on her request at upcoming meetings.

During the cookie program, we are looking at the various ways we connect with you. We want to communicate with you, and likewise, we want you to communicate with us. Just recently, we had a service unit mess because we didn't know there were issues within those working there, so communication is a critical issue for us - particularly at this busy time of year.
We have the GSSA Weekly e-newletter that comes out each Thursday. It includes information on cookies, programs, camps, rule changes, a blog entry, and other information about happenings around the council. We plan on continuing that initiative because we have metrics from Constant Contact we use to see what is being opened and clicked on. We track that, so we can shape the GSSA Weekly to items we know you are interested in.
We also are looking at social media, since some of you use that rather than an e-mail account. We thought we would do a quick survey of what you are using and what you find the most useful. We are also looking at some of the new media opportunities to assess whether to up any time into these or not.
We are starting to work with Instagram, which is good for us because of the visual nature of it and so much of what we do is well communicated visually. We have talked about using Vine, as well, which does brief videos. How useful that is for us isn't as clear as Instagram.
We do know that, during the cookie program, the e-mails that go from the ABC SNAP program tend to work fairly well. As we continue to get the modules of E-Council to work, we will have that capacity. We want to know what works best for you, and when you are spending time on-line, what programs you use.
I hope cookies are going well so far. Please click here or on the image below to take the short survey. Thanks for your feedback.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (46 votes).
In short: Glad I was a support team and not a participant!In full: A tad worrying that just because I and a friend were wearing high viz jackets that runners thought we were organisers! However, if we hadn't been there for some runners they might still be out there or worse still under a car! Definitely in need of signage on the roads and could really do with marshals at some of the busy junctions as runners in the zone could easily wander straight out!Date of review: October 8, 2008
In short: Tough but tremendously rewarding experienceIn full: Even without the terrible weather this would have been a tough race. A combination of having to navigate 56 miles with a lot of climbing made it a challenge both mentally and physically.It was very well organised with good support along the route and a warm welcome at the end from people who had been out all day. Thanks to all who helped in any way.This was my longest run and I'd have to say it was a tremendous experience and this race has potential iconic status in the running calendar.If you're thinking about doing it next year... I'd advise doing it with a running mate with a support team at least at checkpoints 2,3,4 and 5. Also you don't need to overdo the training. We did 4 weeks of 60 - 65 miles including a marathon and our longest run (30 miles) in one week. Although we were tired at the end, we still had the energy to up our pace in the last six miles - so although we were exhausted we must have had something left!If you fancy an ultra you'd have to go a long way to beat this one.Date of review: October 7, 2008
In short: in short one of the hardest and most challenging events I've ever undertakenIn full: Really enjoyed this one. The rain and wind and mud all added to the adventure with the added difficulties of finding your way. It must have been very difficult coming up with the route which passed through some amazing country side. The highlight apart from finishing was getting to the top of Ditchling Beacon and just as we got to the top there was break in the cloud and mist leaving increeible views looking back to where we had come from. The organisation and the support from other runners was superb from start to finish.This event has all the ingredients of becoming a classic.Date of review: October 7, 2008
In short: Tough wet and very longIn full: Take this on without a full recce of the route at your peril. Take this on without a complete support crew at your peril. Take this on without a huge desire to finish and you will fail. Not the best organised event I have ever done but certainly the toughest. My running buddy and i did just manage to finish in joint 81st place. Officailly the last finishers but we made it!Date of review: October 7, 2008
In short: Hardest race I have ever runIn full: This extremely hilly, multi terrain town and cross country race is the hardest run I have ever done. The web site describes the weather conditions as making the race truly punishing, which in parts it was. It rained right from the 7 am start in Greenwich Park. We wound out of various London suburbs for around 9 miles, whilst having to navigate by map all the way. We hit the first check point comfortably inside our target time somewhere in the middle of the 190 or so runners who set off. The cut off times were a little tight given the distance. We arrived at 18.5 miles at around 3 hrs 25m, drenched and filthy to be met by an angel in the form of a supporter with supplies and a clean t-shirt. I couldn't bear the thought of trying to peel my socks off but a warm t felt good, for about ten minutes. Met my supporter again at 25ish and cruised through 28 miles feeling good in 5hrs 45m. We made a number of errors in navigation at various points and had to stop frequently to work out bearings. Still, only two miles extra, which is better than one lad who did seven!! Slowed a lot in the third quarter which wasn't down to lack of fitness. The trails, particularly on the hills, had by this point been turned into either mud baths or long wide puddles that stretched often 50 plus feet in front if not more. There was very little hard ground and even the fields were saturated. Difficult to walk let alone run. Fantastic scenery though and actually great support at various points. Hit the 4th checkpoint slowing down and the 5th bang on 11 hours - which meant the previous 19 miles or so had taken a slow 5hrs 15min. Still only 11 miles to go at that point. Major problems though followed. As we were about an hour off target and getting slower due to the conditions, we were caught in the dark. We collected a lost lady runner on route and only had my head torch between us. We still had Ditchling Beacon to climb and before we reached the bottom it was pitch black. We had no chance of seeing the trail and had to walk across unlit and unmarked fields. I would guess it took us around 1 hr 45m to cover about 4 or 5 miles. We somehow managed to get to the top of Ditchling and were warned by a supporter that the marshals were pulling runners due to the time and conditions. There was no way in the world I was being pulled at 50 miles and we set off running down the main road having picked up luminous torches from a supporter. The last 6 miles will stick in my mind for ever. We were very tired, soaking wet and at the end of our reserves. The three of us ran most of the way with very little conversation save to discuss direction. All you could hear apart from the traffic, was the sound of 3 sets of feet pounding the pavement getting nearer and nearer with every step. Our compatriot even seemed to pick up the pace at one point. And then the finish. Fantastic. Out of the 190 or so starters, only 81 finished. This was a truly remarkable experience and one that I am very glad to have had. Hopefully Luton marathon should now seem like an extended tempo run, although I suspect not!!Date of review: October 7, 2008
In short: It's tough and you have to map read but that adds to the sense of achievement.In full: The weather made this tougher as it rained the whole way. It was my first event of this kind and I managed to not get too lost with my map reading skills! Others didn't get on so well. I would recommend this event if you want a mental and physical challenge but not if you have a hopeless sense of direction! Good organisation and support as well as comraderie with fellow runners.Date of review: October 7, 2008
