MSU School of Social Work, in conjunction with the other six Michigan graduate Schools of Social Work and the support of the Michigan Department of Human Services, is pleased to announce FREE training opportunities to DHS Child Protective Services, Foster Care, and Adoption Workers and DHS-contracted private agencies' foster care and adoption workers. The title of this collaborative project is Child Welfare In-Service Training.
Multiple human service, health, and education professionals who also serve the families involved with the child welfare system may find the workshops of interest; many of the workshop topics will have applicability beyond child welfare practice, thus a LIMITED number of FOR CHARGE spaces are available for interested professionals who work outside of DHS and the contracted private agencies. All courses offered are eligible for Social Work CECHs.
Early registration is encouraged. Registrations are nontransferable; if you register but are unable to attend, please contact the appropriate University at your earliest convenience so they might offer your unused space to someone else.
To learn more specifically about the MSU CW In-Service Training programs, you may view descriptions, objectives, faculty information, location, and pricing as well as registration instructions and tools by visiting: https://socialwork.msu.edu/ceu/catalog.php.
Programs are listed under Child Welfare In-Service trainings.

In Arizona, Rural Development Housing Programs Provide a Stable Environment for Families
The parents were leery about another rental, fearing having to move yet again. Rather serendipitously, the mother saw information on line about USDA Rural Development housing programs. She made a call that changed their lives. As it turned out, the house that they eventually found and qualified for was part of a "green home" renovation in conjunction with other local agencies. The family was able to purchase their home with a loan direct from Rural Development, give their four children a stable home and neighborhood, and the home itself has proven to be so efficient that they are saving monthly on their utility bills.
The family received homebuyer education classes and credit counseling as part of the programs they participated in. The mother said "We are lucky to have found out about you! We have nothing but high praise for the process. Thank you for your dedication to helping families like ours purchase a home." Read more »

Tuesday morning Megyn Kelly on Fox's America's Newsroom ran a segment on a guy who "invented" a chocolate inhaler. His claim—it is a great chocolate replacer. Megyn was fast to declare it "a lot of hooey." And, I'm here to tell you that chocolate is much more than just aroma. So, Megyn, thanks for playing the "Hooey Card," especially when it comes to chocolate.
Chocolate! There are few foods about which people feel as passionate. One of the most pleasant effects of eating chocolate is the "euphoric feeling" that many people experience after eating it. Chocolate contains more than 300 known beneficial compounds. The small amount of caffeine found in chocolate (1.4 oz of chocolate = 1 cup of decaf coffee) combined with Theobromine, a weak stimulant also present in chocolate, provides the "lift" that chocolate eaters experience. Phenyethylamine is reputed to be a mood elevator and an anti-depressant. Say good-bye to your Prozac. Chocolate is also thought to be an aphrodisiac. Set aside your Levitra. Chocolate has even been proven healthful for the well being of expectant moms.
Medical research has linked the antioxidants found in cacao—the fruit from which chocolate is made—to decreases in blood pressure and reductions of "bad" cholesterol levels. Good high cacao content dark chocolate is low in sugar and rich in flavanols which many physicians and nutritionists say are beneficial to your health. Scientists are still developing their opinions on the health benefits of dark chocolate, but the research has certainly reduced the stigma of a moderate daily chocolate habit.
We sent Megyn a box of our new Elephant Chocolate (76% cacao). This is seriously strong chocolate made for American tastes. On her first bite she will get the hit of big, rich chocolate and then the essence of ripe cherry, berry and wine over complex layers of tart citrus, red fruit and roasted nutty notes all held together by the solid, deep chocolate base. This high cacao content, medium-bodied, very intense chocolate is smooth on the palate with a long and pleasant finish to allow one to savor the flavor. So, you should check it out by tasting. Trust me, you can't get all that from an inhaler!

Dr. Scholls' XW shoes cure those comfort blues !!!
"I have wide feet and the big toe on each foot turns in slightly. Finding a comfortable shoe is a problem, especially in an athletic style. I tried the Mason Sneakers in a DSW store and they were a dream come true! They have extra wide room in the toes, solid arch support, and soles that wear exceptionally well. Their hue is a dark shade of grey that easily complements most any color casual pant, and looks especially good with dungarees. I now own 6 pairs, and cannot recommend them highly enough! To all of you XW's who are seeking a stylish, comfortable fit, I am happy to say that Dr. Scholl's prescription for the Mason Sneaker should be filled at your nearest DSW store as soon as possible! Once the secret gets out,it may be too late!!!"

Great to see another Chocolate Doom fork!
Unfortunately I can't try it out because I don't have anything resembling a Windows machine, but hopefully someone will port it to other platforms.
I really appreciate and respect the fact that you have a clear vision of what you want the source port to be, and I like the "subtle enhancements" philosophy. It reminds me of perkristian's remastered SFX and weapon animations. Would it make sense to include those with DOOM RETRO?

Cool source port! Could you please make the source code available in a VCS?

I found a bug: Flying monsters can enter inside other things like this pole. The player can also do the same if he jumps on something. If I remember correctly, all objects like this (lamps, trees, flying heads...) have a height of 16, because it doesn't matter for them in vanilla-Doom.
bradharding said:
Ah, so I may have to alter each height to better represent each object. The Caco didn't get stuck, did it?

Another bug: Archviles can resurrect monsters that are crushed under doors. It can also resurrect a monster under him, so both monsters will be stuck inside each other.
Edit: The Icon of Sin takes 8 rockets before it explodes.
NightFright said:
I would be careful with implementing the "Smooth Weapon Animations" mod from Per. While it's certainly cool, keep in mind this will break PWADs which have custom weapons. They replace only those frames which were in the original game, while Per's mod adds many more.
Maybe you could implement them like a switch via the ingame menu, so you can turn the enhancement off for mods that break otherwise. That would actually be quite a cool thing to have.
[On a side note, we improved PerK's mod a bit some while ago. A few changes we made could be reversed if needed, such as the flipped pistol hand and the gloved fists. I am not 100% satisfied with the way the BFG turned out, but at least it's less static than in the original game.]
Implementing the sound mod is no problem at all, any PWAD can override those sound replacements again if needed.

I do not understand exactly the "minimalism" in your approach, as a lot of changes seem the result of someone experimenting/playing with the SC in order to achieve some of the effects achievable with scripting on source ports that have long diverged from vanilla or even plain Boom.
Any idea how far you have diverged from vanilla demo compatibility at the current state?

- Preventing monsters from entering sector heights they could originally enter is going to mean some monsters spawned in stuck positions where they can't move, and other monsters being incapable of entering places they're clearly supposed to. This is the kind of thing that unfortunately IMO just has to be lived with, as there's no way to get around it without noticeably breaking gameplay in a lot of maps.
- Resetting the player's health to its pre-IDDQD state when disabling degreelessness mode means that a useful playtesting feature of IDDQD is eliminated: the ability to enable and then disable it to reset the player to 100% health.
BTW, have you considered additive blending for some of your translucent objects (projectiles in particular)? Translucently blending a bright projectile with its surroundings will mean making it darker and dimmer as a result of the combination, but additively blending it will allow it to still pop out brightly from the background.

Not really any major bugs to speak of, aside from the few minor things mentioned by others.
Anyway, a minor cosmetic issue: The mirrored deaths feature is great, but one of the monsters, the Cyberdemon, doesn't really work well with it. When the Cyberdemon uses the mirrored death, its rocket launcher can be seen to switch sides. This is the only mirrored death that is noticeably "off", all the other monsters look okay with it.

Ah, from what I can tell, you want this to be between a fancy source port like Boom and a simple source port like Chocolate Doom? This could work. Improve the mouse support, controls and settings. Add in some kind of wide screen support and I'd use this regularly.

If I may suggest a different approach, that would be e.g. loading the various hardcoded state_t etc. tables from an external human-readable format
Maes said:
What I mean is, that at some point, the temptation to go full-fledged scripting will be nearly irresistible, especially after even the programmer gets tired of recompiling at every change ;-)
If I may suggest a different approach, that would be e.g. loading the various hardcoded state_t etc. tables from an external human-readable format, easier to read and edit manually than e.g. DEHACKED (JSON or XML notation would be cool), as part of the source port's normal operation (so they would no loner be compiled along with the .EXE, but entirely dynamically loaded at runtime).
chungy said:
This looks like a really awesome port, congrats on getting started. :)
I may try to run this in Wine at a point, since I don't have Windows. But all the same, I'm wondering if you might consider putting up the source code on GitHub? Maybe even by forking http://github.com/chocolate-doom/chocolate-doom so you can easily merge changes between. Not trying to demand anything but it may help for collaboration and potentially porting it to other OSes too :)

The same goes for 32-bit rendering. I looked into it, but as with the resolution, I feel that the 256 colour palette is part of DOOM's vanilla charm.
fraggle said:
I suspect that the two codebases have diverged enough that it's probably more effort than it's worth. Brad can quite easily cherrypick individual changes for inclusion if he wants, though.
fraggle said:
Maybe, but have you seen the screenshots from _bruce_'s Chocolor Doom? If done carefully, I think 32-bit rendering can be "subtly enhancing" in a way that might fit in nicely. Ultimately it's your project though :)

Study EnvironmentWhere you study is just as important as how you study. A good study environment should be quiet and free of distractions.
Effective Reading
Much of your study time will be taken up in reading books, journals and articles for your courses. Of course, the way you read while studying is not like reading a book for pleasure. There is a method which can make your study reading more effective - the PSQ5R method. PSQ5R stands for Purpose, Survey, Question, Read selectively, Recite, "Rite", Reflect and Review. Here's how it works:
Note Taking
You will need to develop note taking strategies that work with different disciplines, instructors and their varying speeds, styles and methods of lecturing. While you can sometimes persuade an instructor to slow down or repeat something, in general, you have to find a way to take notes quickly. The best way to take good notes is to think of it as an active listening process and to be selective in what you write down.
Two frequent complaints of students are that they can't concentrate while studying, and that they can't remember the material which they studied. There are many techniques for improving your concentration and memory, although you will have to see which one suits you best.
Preparing for Exams
There are several different kinds of exams; your instructor will likely know well ahead of time what types of questions will be asked. Choose a method of preparation which suits the type of exam you'll be writing.
For Problem-Solving
Go through past homework assignments, lecture notes and your textbook. Then,
For Short Answers
After reviewing your lecture notes and textbook,
For Essay Questions
Review old essay assignments and exams and select a number of topics that seem central to the course. Then,
For Objective Tests
(multiple choice, true/false, and matching questions)
For Take-Home Exams
Treat them like essays; provide carefully researched and well-constructed answers; if appropriate, type or word-process your answers.

You can even get personalized napkins featuring your choice of design to coordinate perfectly with your wedding theme and style. Whether you're planning a destination wedding, a wedding at the winery or a classic wedding filled with romance and tradition, you will find designs for the perfect wedding napkins to complement your celebration.

Remember, our designs are available on more than just wedding napkins. We offer the same collection of designs on other items like favor boxes and favor bags, which means you can create a beautifully coordinated look throughout your entire wedding reception.

Wondering how many wedding napkins you should order? We suggest three cocktail wedding napkins per guest for the bar area, two cocktail napkins per guest for the cake table, and two dinner wedding napkins per guest for dining.

The vast majority of wildlife in Iowa is species not hunted, trapped or fished. Sometimes called "nongame" wildlife, they include shorebirds, raptors, songbirds, small mammals and bats, most amphibians, reptiles, many small fish, butterflies, dragonflies and more – a wide diversity of wildlife, indeed.
Through research, habitat management and long-range planning, the DNR's wildlife team is working with Iowans to ensure a healthy ecosystem for all of Iowa's wildlife and for years to come.

One side just loses more slowly
December 18 2012 09:04AM
There's a great scene from HBO's The Wire in which Roland "Prezbo" Pryzbylewski is sitting in his living room watching a football game on television. His wife asks him who's winning, to which he replies:
"Seven years ago this all seemed easier to take as a fan. There was a sense, perhaps in hindsight but present nonetheless, that this was something the League needed to right itself and make the product great again - a cleansing rebuild that established some parity and introduced a newer, faster game…Not this time, though, and that is perhaps the most frustrating part. Instead of a cleansing, it's merely destruction for destruction's sake."
Nice post. It does feel now like both sides have decided to crush the face of the other (Bettman or Fehr) as part of getting to a settlement. I wonder if both go down. If so, it'll be a losing more slowly for the NHLPA.
December 18 2012, 05:57PM
Pretty sad when a judge will be the deciding factor in the game we love. I hold the PA and the NHL to account for this bloody mess, a fix is there, but standing on ceremony appears to be the trend. If they dump this season they are spelling doom for the greatest game on the planet, not to forget the level of disrespect to the players that built this league, from the original 6 to what we have today. Good read, got it nailed, but end of the day; "we lose"

Equal Opportunity Disease Doesn't Discriminate
Silver Spring, Md. (Oct. 21, 2010) — Twenty-five years ago pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients had a 50-percent chance of surviving 2.8 years past diagnosis, but with new treatment options and the care of a PH specialist, more patients are living longer. This November, during Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month, they are working to ensure that the prognosis for this invisible, incurable disease continues to improve.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is caused by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs that can lead to heart failure. Research shows that lack of awareness plays a major role in delaying correct diagnosis, which takes an average of over a year.
PH is often misdiagnosed as asthma, congestive heart disease, or chronic bronchitis. The symptoms, which can include dizziness, loss of energy, depression and dry cough, mimic other conditions leading to a longer path to eventual diagnosis. Although anyone can get PH, there are risk factors such as family history and living at a high altitude, which make some people more susceptible.
"If more people knew about the symptoms of pulmonary hypertension and doctors were more familiar with the warning signs, more people would get treatment sooner and fewer would die," says Rino Aldrighetti, president and CEO of the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA). "Most people have never heard of pulmonary hypertension, so they are unlikely to take the necessary steps to get diagnosed and ultimately treated."
Pulmonary hypertension is a life-challenging illness, but with certain lifestyle changes many patients continue to lead active and fulfilling lives. PH affects people of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds including Elise Firestone, college student and award winning bodybuilder; Kimberlee Ford who was recently diagnosed with PH that could have been caught earlier if she was not misdiagnosed with asthma; and military chaplain and licensed clinical social worker George Harris, who in addition to his own PH also lost his brother to the disease, and now counsels others who have lost someone to PH.
To commemorate PH Awareness Month, volunteers will hold events across the country to draw attention to the risks of pulmonary hypertension.
NOTES TO EDITORS: Elise Firestone, Kimberlee Ford and George Harris are available to talk about PH and Pulmonary Hypertension Awareness Month, November 2010.
PHA is on Facebook, Twitter (#PHAwarenessMonth) and YouTube.
Headquartered in Silver Spring, Md., PHA is the country's leading organization connecting pulmonary hypertension patients, families, and medical professionals. Its mission is to find ways to prevent and cure pulmonary hypertension and provide hope for the community through support, education, advocacy and awareness. PHA provides free access to information on its Web site about pulmonary hypertension and facilitates over 200 support groups around the nation, helping many of the estimated 30,000 diagnosed patients in the U.S. To learn more, visit: http://www.phassociation.org/

ARDMORE, Pa. — All around him is noise.
Bloggers blaring about illegal drops, tabloids screaming about his relationship with Lindsey Vonn, naysayers nagging about his drought in major championships. A nasty public spat with a pesky adversary that turned ugly with racial overtones cranked the volume. And now, even Mother Nature is chiming in with threats of disturbance during this week's U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club in suburban Philadelphia, where he's the overwhelming favorite.
Yet Tiger Woods remains calm amid the din. Irritated, yes. Annoyed, of course. But he deflects the racket just as he has since becoming one of the world's most visible athletes in 1997. He swats away any criticism of his swing and doubts about his game by pointing to his record — four wins this year, seven in his last 22 stroke-play events on the PGA Tour. That worst-ever 44 on the back nine that led to him matching his worst-ever score on U.S. soil, a 79 in the third round of the Memorial in his last event? It happens, Woods says.
SERGIO GARCIA: Apology note left in Tiger's locker
BRENNAN: Putting Tiger-Sergio feud to rest
Having rebuilt his game back to a dominant level and returned to his perch as the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, Woods has enjoyed talking about his wins at Torrey Pines, Doral, Bay Hill and TPC Sawgrass this year far more than the noise. That would be the sound of anchoring, Vijay Singh and deer-antler spray, the mess at the Masters with the drop and non-disqualification and his row with Sergio Garcia and course etiquette and fried chicken, which Garcia thoughtlessly said he'd serve at dinner if Woods was a guest. And don't even go there with Woods and his alleged wild night with Vonn in the Boom Boom Room in New York last month.
But while the klieg lights have been intense this year, and the hefty weight of expectation immense, Woods' concentration is solely on the one remaining section to his comeback puzzle he started piecing together after his crash into a fire hydrant and subsequent marriage-ending, image-wrecking sex scandal in 2009:
A win in a major championship.
It's been five years since Woods won his 14th major, when he fought through pain from shredded ligaments and busted bones in his left leg to beat Rocco Mediate in a playoff in the 2008 U.S. Open. Injuries to his Achilles, knee and back since have forced him out of four majors. He's also contended in more than half (eight top-10s in last 15 majors) of the majors since 2008, including a tie for fourth in his last, the Masters.
CHANGES: : Much has changed since Tiger's last major
U.S. OPEN: Who should you root for?
CHAMPIONS: The last 20 to win
"Ever since he turned pro he's been under the spotlight, but it has ramped up this year because people feel like No. 15 is very close," says Golf Channel analyst Frank Nobilo, who won 15 titles worldwide during his career. "Because of what he's gone through the last few years, 15 could be the most important major of his career. It would mean he's back on track. He's back on a winning clip again, but it's been five years since his last major."
Woods says he doesn't fret about his stalled pursuit of Jack Nicklaus' record 18 majors, nor is he shaken by his longest drought in the game's biggest tournaments.
"I'm not stressed because I know where I'm heading," says Woods, who, with a victory this week, would join Willie Anderson, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan and Nicklaus as the only players to win the U.S. Open four times. "I'm comfortable going forward, comfortable with what is in the future. I'm more precise with my swing. I've been able to work on other parts of my game and make them strengths. It's all about trying to get better and I feel I am.
"And I've contended in majors. Just haven't gotten it done. But you have to keep putting yourself in position to win. If I do that enough times, the odds are better for me to win."
His four victories this season have not gone unnoticed by his colleagues. Rickie Fowler says Woods isn't missing many shots and making a ton of putts. Steve Stricker says Woods is in a better place mentally. Keegan Bradley says he's seeing the same dominant Woods he saw growing up. And Brandt Snedeker says Woods is hitting every shot solidly.
"People ask what's wrong with Tiger all the time. Nothing is wrong with Tiger," Davis Love III says. "As long as he plays, he wins.
"I think we expect too much as fans out of Tiger, like we expected too much out of Michael Jordan. Like Michael should make every jump shot at the end of the game or something is wrong. Because they do it so many times, they raise people's expectations. And I don't think we give him enough credit for the level of consistency he's had."
Woods, who says he "loves grind, the fight, the challenge, of a U.S. Open," is healthy. He's keen to the discipline needed to win a U.S. Open, likes how you need to know where to miss with your bad shots, loves how turning bogeys into pars and doubles into bogeys is as important as making birdies.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: Quotes from Merion
And the short, tight East Course could play right into his hands.
"Anytime you can give Tiger a course that he doesn't need to use his driver, I think is to his advantage," NBC analyst and U.S. Open champion Johnny Miller says. "I think when he won The Players Championship is very similar to what he's going to do at Merion. He just sort of gets it off the tee with less than a driver, and his iron game is terrific and the rest of his game is terrific.
"Really the only weakness for Tiger is when he has to hit the driver, and if he doesn't have to hit the driver, I think he's tough to beat."
On the flip side, Woods played Merion for the first time three weeks ago and he's won just one U.S. Open in 10 years. Plus, with each passing major he doesn't win, the pressure builds — from within and from outside the ropes.
"He's got to be very careful not to be trying too hard to win the championship right away early in the week versus just going out and playing golf and letting it happen," two-time U.S. Open winner Andy North says.
If Woods were to win this week, North says, the "floodgates might open" and he could go on another major haul again.
Breaking down the golfers with the best chance of winning at Merion Golf Club.
This week, Paul Azinger says, we might know what will happen very early.
"What to look for out of Tiger Woods is how he is emotionally early on," says Azinger, the 1993 PGA Championship winner and ESPN analyst. "When he's winning and hitting it poorly, you know, finishing last in fairways hit at Bay Hill, he has this air of confidence and this air of calm and patience; when he knows he doesn't have it, he's kicking clubs around and you can read his lips.
"So I would look early on, and that comes from within, the pressure from within. So I would look early on to see if he's frustrated early and he's reacting, or he's frustrated early and there's no reaction."
Merion awaits — and Woods is ready to attack with the same exuberance and cutthroat strategy he showed as a kid.
"It's still about winning the event. That's how I played as a junior, all the way through to now, and that's just to try to kick everyone's butt," Woods says. "That to me is the rush. That's the fun. That's the thrill.
"And it's been nice to be a part of the mix for 17 years now out here and be a part of a lot of great duels and a lot of great battles. And that to me is why I prepare, why I lift all those weights and put myself through all that is to be in those types of positions. It's fun."

|In response to Re: Air in Pipes
We have this exact same problem, too. We get our water from a well on our property. Could that be the source of the problem?
Thanks in advance.
: Thank you for your response. The air spurts out from all faucets and toilets in the house ( sinks, bath tub ets) on all three levels of the house. When you turn on the faucet (either hot or cold) the water comes through with loud spurts of air. It after 20 - 30 seconds or so it will flow appropiately ( no air) It is worse on the third floor.
: Cindy
: : Cindy,
: : Please better explain the nature of your problem. What do you mean by water coming out of every pipe??? Snaking a toilet, vent, or drain isn't likely to cause any problems. You need to have an experienced plumber or two take a look (hopefully, when these "spurts" occur). You may eventually need a camera snake to look inside to better evaluate your drains. I would do some research such as asking neighbors if they've experienced similar problems.

: : : Over a month ago I wrote and asked for advise about a plumbing problem. We had a clog in a third floor toilet. The technician pulled the toilet and used a varied of snakes ( very long ones). Since that time we have had water coming out of every pipe especially when there is no use for a number of hours ( as in morning). It is getting worse as time goes on. The plumbing company says they did nothing. We could use some help on what to do .....Thanks so much.

Five or six days, postal delivery still needed
Recent reports that the United States Postal Service may cut out one day per week of mail delivery is due, according to John E. Potter, postmaster general, to dwindling mail volume and rising costs. His announcement did not cause very much surprise among most postal customers across the nation, but did plant seeds of concern among those who rely on the post office for all their deliveries.
Although the privately-owned companies like Federal Express and UPS, continue to thrive and reinvent themselves whenever needed, while accepting only the most profitable deliveries, the postal service is mired in semi-governmental regulation, quasi-private operations and a legacy of political appointees running the show. None of which will ever lead to efficient or profitable operations.
Over the years, the postal employees and managers, to their credit, have enthusiastically jumped on the bandwagon of promotions and new programs, some good, some very bad, as they made their contributions to the future progress of their employer. In many cases, the postal employees have been the glue that has kept the postal service from falling apart long before now.
Based on a study done by George Mason University and a study also done in-house by the postal service, the agency has determined they must consider dropping one day per week of delivery in order to survive. The amounts the agency might save by doing so is disputed and varies by almost $2.5 billion between the two studies. Not the best recommendation for the accuracy of either.
It has always been a mystery as to why the postal service, with all the studies they have conducted over the years, has never really gone to their own employees and their own customers to find out what innovations or changes might could be made to improve the agency as a more efficient place to work and what services their customers really want and what services they don't want. Those who make the postal service work day-in, day-out would seem to be the experts needed to analyze what needs to be improved and the folks who patronize the postal service could be considered a key part of any revenue analysis as well.
The nation needs its postal service, five or six days delivery schedule, to deliver its mail. An individual letter at the price of a first class stamp is probably not profitable, but to the person who mails it and to the person who receives it, it is priceless. Contact your congressman and tell him how much we need our postal service to survive.

Mazda3 will please elevated-pulse folk the brand targets, and perhaps quite a few others.
HELL, Mich. -- It's a real place, and it's where jurors who vote on the North American Car and Truck of the Year gather each fall for final wheel time in cars they've driven, fresh time in ones they haven't.
It's the perfect opportunity for the arrested-development types among otherwise high-minded auto scribes to get a dirty word into print, legitimately. Who could resist?
Sited at the Forbidden Wheels motorcycle club on a corner of the Hell Creek Ranch, the event features the year's array of new or significantly updated vehicles vying for the annual North American Car and Truck of the Year awards announced at the Detroit auto show in January.
The Hell drive — all those nifty new models — starts a craving for the perfect blend of attributes, some from this car, some from that one, a few in the one over there.
In this case, the compact 2014 Mazda3, a full-scale redesign, on sale since September, has you wishing for a mix that would include the Mazda's own exceptional steering and brakes, the redesigned Toyota Corolla's general roominess and interior serenity and Ford Focus' outstanding chassis. Even though good handling is part of Mazda's "zoom-zoom" schtick, the Focus is nonpareil among mainstream compacts.
But never mind, you quickly decide that Mazda3's about right as-is. At least for the warm-blooded, elevated-pulse folk the brand targets, and perhaps quite a few others.
It's available as a four-door sedan and a "five-door" hatchback. Interestingly, the hatchback is about 5 inches shorter than the sedan. Otherwise they're the same.
Models with the 2-liter engine are designated "i" and those with the optional 2.5-liter are "s."
The Mazdas driven here were a 2-liter, four-door Grand Touring sedan ($25,085) and a 2.5-liter Grand Touring hatchback ($29,185), both with six-speed automatics.
A 2-liter Grand Touring sedan with six-speed manual ($24,035) was tested back home in Northern Virginia suburbs.
The drawbacks we see are:
Road noise. Tires on test cars here sent up an awful racket on the coarsest local roads, even though other vehicles didn't. Nor did the Mazda3 tested in Virginia.
Seems obviously road-related, but your path won't always be well-paved, so it's useful to caution about the tire noise.
Tight back seat. Illogical. The car's bigger for 2014. The wheelbase — distance between front and back wheels, which dictates how much leg and knee room is available — grew 3 inches. But Mazda lists 0.4 of an inch less rear legroom in the new one. And it feels tighter than that.
Front visibility. It'll depend a bit on where you position the front seat, but for many drivers, the windshield pillar, called the A pillar, can block your view of pedestrians and cars angling from the side.
But the good things are quite enriching.
The six-speed manual on the Virginia car awakened the 2-liter four-cylinder dramatically. That's the same engine that's marginal in the CX-5 small SUV and, when hooked to an automatic in the 3, is willing but unexciting.
The 2.5-liter is to get a manual next year.
What makes it a good manual? Smooth, quick shift mechanism with enough mechanical feel to let you know you're not operating a wimpy electronic selector. A clutch that doesn't require an artist to operate smoothly. Pedal positioning that lets you sit far enough from the steering wheel and still hit the floor with the clutch pedal when shifting.
Mazda says 12% to 15% of 2-liter buyers will choose the manual, and 15% to 20% of 2.5-liter buyers will opt for a stick shift.
Typically, just 3% to 7% of compact buyers ask for a manual on other brands.
Chassis tuning blends responsive, firm-feeling brakes, snappy handling that makes you seek "S" corners and tempts you to take them faster than you probably should, and excellent steering. It is responsive without being twitchy, and holds straight-ahead without constant little steering motions.
You pay for the crisp cornering with a ride that's bumpier than on, say, a Sentra or Corolla.
Interior layout and comfort are exceptional. The console-mounted infotainment joystick control on the Grand Touring test models wasn't the easiest to use, however.
The navigation/backup-camera/everything-else screen is big and stands tall rather than being sunk into the dashboard, same as in a Mercedes-Benz CLA. It's easy to read. But it'll look like an aftermarket add-on to some folks.
The new Mazda3's good mpg, well-tuned chassis, and some upmarket interior touches should broaden the car's appeal outside Mazda-loyal driving enthusiasts, without disappointing that group.
What? Re-do of the brand's best-seller, a front-drive, four-door, five-passenger compact. Available as four-door sedan or "five-door" hatchback. 2-liter engine models designated "i"; 2.5-liter as "s."
When? On sale since September.
Where? Made at Hofu, Japan.
How much? Starts at $17,740 including $795 shipping, for i SV base model with six-speed manual. 2.5-liter models, $25,390-up. Most popular, the i Touring, 2-liter, automatic, starts at $21,440.
What makes it go? 2-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine rated 155 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, 150 pounds-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm. Six-speed manual is standard, six-speed automatic optional.
2.5-liter four-cylinder rated 184 hp at 5,700 rpm; 185 lbs.-ft. at 3,250 rpm. All have six-speed automatic; manual planned next year.
How big? About 1 inch bigger all around than Honda Civic sedan. Hatch, about 5 inches shorter than Mazda3 sedan, otherwise identical. Weight, 2,781- 2,982 lbs.
Trunk (four-door), 12.4 cubic feet. Cargo space (hatchback), 20.2 cu. ft. behind rear seat, 47. 1 cu. ft. with rear seat folded.
How thirsty? 2-liter rated 29 or 30 mpg in the city, 40 or 41 highway, 33 or 34 combined city/highway. 2.5-liter: 27 or 28 city, 37 or 39 highway, 31 or 32 combined.
Test cars: 2.5-liter, automatic got 32 mpg (3.13 gallons per 100 miles) in hard driving on rural two-lanes. 2-liter, automatic: 30.8 mpg (3.25 gal./100 mi.) similar driving but more wide-open throttle. 2-liter manual, 25.9 mpg (3.86 gal./100 mi.) in vigorous suburban driving.
Burns regular, holds 13.2 gal.
Overall: Stylish, quick, fun. Noisier, stiffer-riding than others.

The 3 digited, the replacing of the Espada.. How many more unimportant battles (non-Espada fights) will there be in the Hueco Mundo Arc of bleach?
I think there will be no more, but boy am I tired of these things that waste our time.
None. They only going to be Espada fights now.
One. Tesla might need a warm up.
Two or Three. More Aizen made Arrancar will rumble.
Four Plus. They will drag this thing on forever...
The 3 digited, the replacing of the Espada.. How many more unimportant battles (non-Espada fights) will there be in the Hueco Mundo Arc of bleach?
I think there will be no more, but boy am I tired of these things that waste our time.
I believe that at the end of this arc, a time skip will occur, so to give the mangaka time to plan out everything. We, the readers, must endure multiple battles that won't really matter to the plot until the time skip happens.
It's just the Metroid series remade for the Xbox crowd.
However Samus Aran is now some unknown low ranking military personal.
Also the space pirates worship some giant doomsday hula hoop machine.

They will drag this thing on forever... *sigh* I have this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that that is just what might happen (maybe pms). But I don't think Nell's fight falls under that category.
whats wrong with those fights. it gave us a chance to see uryu and chad use their new abilities and we got to see ichigo kick some ass. i dont mind those fights but if we get anything like we saw in the fillers then ill be mad
Made by Gray-Foxx and iThepirate
Come help us grow! http://mangaseed.com/index.php
fillers... the very word leaves a bitter taste in my mouth...
Yeah, we got to see how they powered up, we got to see just how awesome Rukia's sword is. But we also saw how easy they fell to those who aren't even the real threat. Hint: Aizen said he still hasn't perfected the Espada.
So yes, those fights were meaningless. Why show them reach their limit just to show how it isn't enough?
These fights have meaning because it shows us the true power of the Espada. It took everything Rukia had to beat the 9th Espada, and Chad beat a Three-Digit guy easily with his power but got completely crushed by the 5th Espada. It's like when we found out that Ulquiorra was only the 4th Espada - we thought these guys were tough but beatable in the beginning, but now we know that the enemies are, in fact, too strong.
I don't know how Kubo will make things go, but there is a reason for his having the bad guys be a lot stronger than the good guys, and it is important for us readers know that they are so much stronger.
All glory to Haruhi! The one and true God!
By meaningless, I meant characters Kubo could introduce to slow the main guys down out of the blue. The 3 digited arrancar were just brought in to delay this series. Luppi dying meant nothing, because Grimmjow just replaced him. The current Nel - Noitora fight is important, unless Nel dies, which will make it yet again a waste.
luppi died so kubo could bring us the best 10 chapters ever. the ichi-grim fight. (sarcasm is drowning the words.)
nell can't die. she has D-CUPS, FULL OF JUSTICE, as the late, great captain murphy once said.
Logically, Luppi's existence makes sense. Grimmjow disobeyed orders and got his arm cut off, meaning he lost a lot of strength and got kicked out of the Espada, letting Luppi jump in. Luppi's defeat meant Grimmy could take back the 6th spot.
The whole scenario allowed us to see Ichigo's hollow powers but not let us know that Ichigo was stronger, since Grimmjow was handicapped. We also got to see the Shinigami fight with some Espada, which made for a nice battle scene. It all just worked out well. Though it is true that Luppi was just a generic strong Arrancar.
All glory to Haruhi! The one and true God!
Why are people forgetting about poor little Wonderwice :(

Organic Foods: What You Need to Know
What does "organic" mean?
The term "organic" is officially defined and controlled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This means that in order to carry the organic label on the packaging, foods must meet certain standards.
What is organic produce?
Organic produce must be grown without the use of chemicals or pesticides. Farmers must use natural means to control insects and weeds. Only natural fertilizers, such as compost, are used. After harvesting, organic produce cannot be treated with preservatives, such as wax. The organic term also excludes foods that have been altered by scientists, such as seedless watermelon.
The goals of organic farming are to reduce the negative impact on the environment and to increase sustainability. Sustainability means that the farming practices are designed to take care of the land to make sure it is productive and useful for a long time.
What are organic meat and animal products?
Organic meat and animal products must come from livestock raised in a natural environment. This means the farmers give the animals organic feed, clean housing and access to the outdoors. The animals are not treated with the growth hormones or antibiotics often used in non-organic livestock. Farm practices are generally environmentally friendly.
What do the different organic labels mean?
The USDA allows several different organic labels. You may come across the following:
- 100% Organic means the product was produced and processed using only approved methods and organic ingredients. This label often is used on single-ingredient items, like fruit or eggs.
- Organic products contain at least 90% organic ingredients.
- Made from organic products include at least 75% organic ingredients.
- Other labels are common, such as natural, sustainable and grass-fed. Be aware that these terms are not officially defined or controlled by the USDA. There is no guarantee that these products follow the same standards required in order to use an organic label.
Are organic products a better choice than other products?
Organic products are often presented as a healthier, greener option. But are they really different?
As you consider whether organic foods are right for you and your family, remember that no food type or fad is a magic bullet for your health. The organic label means natural farming and processing practices, and is not a guarantee of nutritional content or value.
Whatever you buy, be sure to check nutrition information on the packaging. Continue to follow safe food handling procedures, including rinsing produce and keeping raw meat separate from other foods before cooking. Understanding the facts about organic and non-organic products can help you make informed, healthy decisions.
- Nutrition. Some organic foods have the same nutrition as the non-organic versions, while others may have higher nutritional value. For example, while testing is still underway, it appears that some "regular" grocery-store fruits (like apples) may have the same nutrition as organic fruits. Organic junk food, such as cookies or ice cream, do not contain special extra nutritious ingredients. In contrast, some fruits and vegetables have higher amounts of trace minerals because of the differences between organic and non-organic farming.
- Artificial ingredients. Where organic and non-organic foods really differ is in their exposure to growth hormones, synthetic ingredients and pesticides. Though fertilizers and pesticides are commonly used in the food industry, some people fear the long-term effects these artificial chemicals may have on human health and development. While doctors don't know for sure what problems artificial fertilizers and pesticides can cause, eating organic foods may reduce the risk of potential health problems.
- Flavor. Because organic foods do not have preservatives, they are often purchased from local growers and therefore tend to be fresh. They also don't have chemicals and artificial flavors, so they may have a more natural taste. While the organic label doesn't guarantee better flavor or freshness, you might find they taste better. Try organic produce and dairy products and make up your own mind about flavor.
- Environment. Organic farming is intended to be good for the environment. USDA-certified farmers work to reduce pollution, save water and resources, and decrease soil erosion. They also provide their livestock with more natural living conditions. Organic farmers also do not use pesticides that can build up over time and possibly harm wild animals and plants. Organic foods are more likely to be shipped to local stores, reducing the pollution of shipping across the country.
- Longevity. Because they do not have preservatives, organic products do not usually last as long as non-organic foods. Organic products (especially produce) may go bad more quickly.
- Cost. As you've probably noticed, organic products are often more expensive than non-organic foods. This is due largely to the higher cost of organic farming, as well as more limited supplies. As more people use organic products, prices are likely to decrease. In areas of the country where organic products are purchased more frequently, the cost tends to decrease over time.

Hadoop Adoption Proves Slow But Steady
By Michael Vizard | Posted 04-29-2013
A survey of 107 attendees at the recent O'Reilly Strata conference conducted by Dimensional Insight on behalf of Rainstor, a provider of database technology that runs natively on Hadoop, finds that while the adoption of Hadoop in the enterprise is proceeding steadily, there are significant challenges that need to be overcome.
Issues surrounding how long it takes to get a Hadoop application into production coupled with a lack of real-time capabilities are proving to be important barriers to deployment. As a result, the respondents are reporting that both the number of Hadoop applications and the size of the overall Hadoop environment remain relatively small.

O-Negative blood needed
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Marsh Regional Blood Center is experiencing a critical need for donors with the O-negative blood type as the Labor Day holiday weekend approaches.
Don Campbell, Marsh Regional's director, said a recent surge in usage of O-negative blood by some medical facilities in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia has created an urgent need for an increased supply of this blood type.
O-negative blood is extremely important for medical facilities because that type can be used in any person's body.
Because of the Labor Day holiday, Marsh Regional's donor centers will not be open on Monday, but many residents in the region will be participating in activities to celebrate this special weekend. Some of these activities carry with them the potential for injuries that might require a significant amount of blood to treat.
"So we are asking anyone in the area who has O-negative blood and is able to donate to please consider sharing the gift of life," Campbell said. "This region has always risen to the occasion when we have had a need before, and a visit to one of our donor centers or a blood drive this week will have a profound impact on our ability to ensure an adequate blood supply to treat our friends and neighbors in this region."
One excellent opportunity to help will be on Thursday, Aug. 29, and Friday, Aug. 30, at a drive in memory of the late Dr. Daniel Klinar. The event will be held at the emergency department annex of Holston Valley Medical Center and the Julia Davis Collection Center, 102 E. Ravine Road. The hours are noon-7:30 p.m. at Holston Valley and 10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. at the collection center on Thursday and 7:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at the hospital and 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at the center on Friday.
Donors are also welcome to visit the donor center in Bristol, 1996 W. State St.
Other blood drives this week are as follows:
· Thursday, Aug. 29, 8-11 a.m., Eastman Credit Union, Wilcox Drive, Kingsport
· Thursday, Aug. 29, 10 a.m.-noon, Eastman Credit Union, Meadowview Lane, Kingsport
· Thursday, Aug. 29, 1-4 p.m., American Electric Power, Kingsport
· Thursday, Aug. 29, 3-7 p.m., First Baptist Church, Weber City, Va.
