Kenny Paul Geno wanted to play in the Southeastern Conference. Georgia offered him a chance he couldn't refuse.
The athletic Booneville senior, a 6-foot-6 small forward, verbally committed to the Bulldogs Wednesday morning and will sign his letter of intent in a ceremony this morning at the Booneville High School gym.
It will be the last of many memorable moments Geno has made for the Blue Devils in that gym, numerous highlight reel dunks, big 3s and the path of three straight trips to the Class 3A state title game – Booneville won it all in 2011.
"I just decided I've always dreamed of playing in the SEC. Georgia was it," Geno said.
The Bulldogs offered Tuesday. Geno called Georgia assistant coach Philip Pearson early Wednesday to commit. He'll get a chance to play as a freshman.
Geno met with his parents and Booneville coach Michael Smith Tuesday night to discuss his options, the other semifinalist Middle Tennessee State.
He had eight offers to choose from, Delta State, Jacksonville State, Lamar, Mercer, Middle Tennessee State, Radford and Union included.

Make yourself invisible with the most innovative, effective waterfowl camo ever - OPTIFADE!
Optifade outperforms traditional camo by breaking the symmetry of the human shape, making your body less detectable and confusing the bird. Optifade's breakthrough micro pattern addresses specifically how waterfowl see:
• Vertical pattern accounts for overhead engagement in motion.
• Ideal at the most common position in which waterfowl encounter humans - 45° angle and 35 yards distance
• Optimized for a non-frontal engagement angle, since waterfowl can see prey from any angle.
• Exploits the way waterfowl perceive colors and the positive vs. negative space in the environment to make the human shape blend into the background.
• Lighter colors and stark contrasts take into account the high-contrast environment (horizon line, water shimmer) and make the hunter appear invisible to the bird.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
A "mahogany tide" creeps toward shore. Algal blooms like these are the result of too much nitrogen in the water, causing the explosive growth of algae. Photo © 2010 Morgan Heim/iLCP
The Chesapeake Clean Water Blueprint outlines the maximum amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment each state in the Chesapeake Bay watershed can release into the Bay and still get our estuary off the "dirty waters" list. Find out more about what's being done. >>
Nutrients—primarily nitrogen and phosphorus—are essential for the growth of all living organisms in the Chesapeake Bay. However, excessive nitrogen and phosphorus degrade the Bay's water quality.
At its healthiest in the early 1600s, the Chesapeake watershed was mainly comprised of forested buffers, wetlands, and resources lands (meadows and some farmland) that absorbed and filtered nutrients. Haphazard development has stripped the watershed of these buffers, and today pollution flows undiluted into waterways. As land use patterns change and the watershed's population grows, the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment entering the Bay's waters increases tremendously. Each year, roughly 300 million pounds of polluting nitrogen reaches the Chesapeake Bay—about six times the amount that reached the bay in the 1600s. CBF's health index, called the State of the Bay Report, estimates that the Chesapeake Bay watershed rated 100 on a scale of 100 in the 1600s. In 2012, the report rated the Bay at 32 out of 100. Water quality is so poor that the Chesapeake Bay is on the Environmental Protection Agency's "dirty waters" list.
Both nitrogen and phosphorus feed algal blooms that block sunlight to underwater grasses and suck up life supporting oxygen when they die and decompose. These resulting "dead zones" of low or no oxygen can stress and even kill fish and shellfish. Algal blooms can also trigger spikes in pH levels, stressing fish, and create conditions that spur the growth of parasites.
Toxic algae, such as some blue-green algae (cyanobacteria), can sicken people, as well, but animals are especially susceptible. These toxins affect the animal's liver and nervous system, and can result in death. This video by the Environmental Protection Agency cautions pet owners to protect their "pooch."
The majority of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution comes from sewage treatment plants, animal feed lots, and polluted runoff from crop land, urban, and suburban areas. In addition, air pollution (from vehicle exhaust) and industrial sources such as power plants contribute roughly 1/3 of the nitrogen pollution. (see chart)
The largest source of pollution to the Bay comes from agricultural runoff, which contributes roughly 40 percent of the nitrogen and 50 percent of the phosphorus entering the Chesapeake Bay.
The fastest growing source of nitrogen pollution to the Bay is polluted runoff.
Agriculture may be the biggest source of pollution, but it is also presents the biggest opportunity. Implementing conservation measures on farms is one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce pollution to our local streams, rivers, and the Bay. These practices include:
Farmers have shown a willingness to implement these practices, but they need financial and technical assistance to do so. That is why CBF has and will continue to fight at the state and federal level for conservation funding for the Bay's farmers.
Other solutions to nitrogen and phosphorus pollution include upgrading stormwater systems and sewage treatment plants, proper operation of septic systems, using nitrogen removal technologies on septic systems, and decreasing fertilizer applications to lawns.
Because roughly one-third of nitrogen pollution comes from the air, we can reduce nutrient loads by conserving energy, which will result in fewer demands on power plants that emit nitrogen, and driving less, which reduces vehicle emissions that also contribute to airborne nitrogen loads.
Important natural filters such as forests, oysters, wetlands, and underwater grasses need to be protected and restored. Overall, the Bay has lost 98 percent of its oysters, about 80 percent of grasses, and nearly 50 percent of forest buffers.
You will begin to receive Bay updates from CBF soon.
In the meantime, join the Bay-friendly conversation on Facebook and Twitter!
CBF's investigative report Polluted Runoff: How Investing in Runoff Pollution Control Systems Improves the Chesapeake Bay Region's Ecology, Economy, and Health details the problems created by suburban and urban runoff pollution. And it offers steps that local, state, and federal governments can take to reduce pollution and achieve clean water for local streams, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay.

The "DrunkChurch" is lovingly referred to by the locals as "Our Lady of Maytag", due to the resemblance to an old fashioned washing machine agitator.
Hi Randy, I saw your talk last night at Siggraph and am excited to join the site -- thanks! I'm uploading stuff now, and actually have a similar shot of SF (from near the same point). Can I ask -- how do I mark the camera's position in google maps, as you've done here? Thanks, Ben
This was taken from around 37.754945, -122.446543: the northernmost observation area at the top of Twin Peaks
Thanks for the feedback and questions! I used a GigaPan with Canon S5 IS to take a total of 897 pictures (69 cols, 13 rows). Capture time was a little under an hour.
What equipment did you use? I have a Nikon D80 and use Hugin to stitch the images together. After that I use Photoshop to crop the panorama. I do this on a Core 2 Duo laptop with 2GB of RAM and a lot of patience :) But I believe a 3.65 gigapixel photo requires some different tools..
3.65 Gigapixels? Let's see, with no overlap and a 10 Megapixel camera, that would be 365 images stitched together. With overlap, it must be at least 400 images. Is that about right? How many rows and frames per row did you take, and how long did that take?
This is very very cool!! The detail is incredible and you can spend hours looking and realize youve only seen a small section. GOOD WORK RANDY!! keep it up.

Every time I pop some leftovers in the microwave, the thought runs through my mind that I might be eating an extra dosage of some 14-letter synthetic chemical, added to the plethora of components in the plastic container. The frightening thing is that, after reading your article "LePage's Secret Puppeteers" (by Colin Woodard, February 11), I just might be telling myself the truth! Once these molecules enter our bodies, there is little way of knowing how they will interact with our living cells.
Surely one might think the government would have some sort of legislation in place to check on chemicals used in such common household products. The Toxic Substances Control Act of 1974, however, does little to calm our worries. Only 200 of the over 80,000 industrial chemicals are tested by the EPA; five of those 200 have been partially restricted. I am appalled to think that it has taken our government nearly 40 years to realize the inefficiencies of this law.
However, there is hope. Recently in Congress, there has been a push for the passing of the Safe Chemicals Act. Our senators, Snowe and Collins, both publicly acknowledged that the outdated TSCA needs to change. Now they both have a unique opportunity to help move these important chemical safety reforms forward by co-sponsoring the Safe Chemicals Act.
Under this new legislation, chemical companies would be under similar regulations to pharmaceuticals. Chemicals would be tested and companies would have to present information on the health and environmental safety of their products. Another key benefit to the passing of this act is the usage of advanced science in assisting the EPA's risk assessment of chemicals. These techniques, developed by the National Academy of Sciences, will help alleviate the burden of assessing the ever-growing stockpile of molecules and compounds found in our markets.
All in all, progress is finally being made in a sector of industrial America that has largely been untouched. This comes as a relief to mothers, infants, elderly, and to my demographic — young, freshly graduated professionals who want to live in a world knowing that the food they're about to eat isn't dosed in some endocrine-disrupting chemical. It's a human right to know these facts, and it's a human right not to be poisoned!

text: As I am not a 'player', my knowledge of the politics and such at the upper echelon is limited. My take on it was that it was a snoozer: essentially changing the RAC from a few bigwigs who serve forever to another (or possibly even the same) bunch of bigwigs by way of the extreme requirements. Obviously I am wrong but I would love to understand a little more of your perspective, if you have the time.

The connection ends on the chargers for the bark collars fit the the transmitter and receivers as well. Will it hurt to use the bark collar chargers until I find the correct charger? Afraid that I may never find the original charger so may eventually have to purchase one.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
CARTER FOSTER: I love the two hand studies, which Hopper did during his student years, because they indicate an awareness of his profession as an artist.
He's representing the physical side of his job as an artist by showing his hands in this very expressive way. When you compare this sort of penetrating, youthful self-awareness of his bust-length portrait with his hands, you get this complete picture of an artist who is both imaginative and has an aspect of physical, manual labor to his work.
Apparently from a very young age, he wanted to become an artist.
NARRATOR: Hopper made this drawing—and others in this gallery—as a young student at the New York School of Art. There he received a classical training, studying the figure closely and following a traditional curriculum. He was a very successful student, studying primarily with the Ashcan School leader Robert Henri.

Syl's new book, etc.
I concur that it is a good book that has obviously had a lot of effort dispensed in its production. Aside from Syl's previous trilogy on the subject, there are a couple other books on the subject, for those that are interested, that also offer a great deal of useful information.
Fly Fishing: A North Country Tradition by Leslie Magee
A Handbook of North Country Trout Flies by Roger Fogg
As it is, Syl's new book doesn't address these titles in great detail, if at all, which I found unfortunate as they are probably the most informative and concise I have ever read on the subject matter. John Jackson's work "The Practical Fly Fisher" and Skues' "Silk Feather and Fur" were also titles I would have thought to have seen mentioned as well as Syl's own work "Soft-Hackled Fly Imitations". The latter is important, in my opinion, because it relates the patterns of yore to American hatches with more specificity than Leisenring's work (which is also very good by the way).
I have found that www.abebooks.com is a great source for locating these older titles.
While on the subject of soft-hackled spiders, Alec ackson has recently introduced his NEW Soft Hackle Hook. It is a 2x short, 1x fine, straight-eye, Limerick bend hook with the trademarked Daiichi "Crystal Finish". These are very nice hooks that make a very sexy chassis for some elegant softies in the spirit of those tied by Walbran, Brumfitt, Pritt, et al.
I'll try to post a pic of the hooks if I can find one.
Until later,
Don Johnson
great little book!
I'm reading it currently.
I was lucky enough to get my copy from a buddy at somewhat local Bamboo shop (www.dunsmuirrodcompany.com) and got a signed copy with one of Nemes' flies used in the book photos mounted and labeled by Sy on the signed page. My memory is pathetic, but I seem to remember that the fly in my copy is the Stewart Red Spider pictured on page thirty something with a couple of other flies in the photo.
It's a terrific piece of research and writing on some of my favorite flies!
|John, the book is small in size and really bueatifully done inside. It is not a coffee table size. A lttle smaller than Dick Browns book on bonefish flies.
|John Desjardins
|John, that should be a good book. Nemes has a lot of knowledge on tying & using soft hackles.
New Book- Soft Hackle Flies
I picked up a really well done book on the History of Soft hackle flies . It includes some great historical data as well as flies and recipies. Called "Two Centuries of Soft hackle Flies" By Sylvester Nemes. The material dates from 1747 to the present and is on high quality glossy paper and cost $34.

Maine trout and/or salters?
It looks like I'll be down east for Thanksgiving (Portland/ Saco) and I was curious if anyone has any experience fishing for trout up there. I have no idea where to begin, but I know the Mousam is a perennial favorite for stripers. I'm curious if it (or any other rivers in the area) hold 'bows or sea run browns.
I really need to wet a line, so I may just head over to the Presumpscot to see if the small mouths are still there.
Any info is much appreciated.
RE:Maine trout and/or salters?
The Mousam holds a decent population of sea run browns, as does the ogunquit a little further south. Freshwater opportunities in the immediate Saco area are pretty limited.
If you decide to go after the salters sand eels have been working well as have shrimp patterns. The best fishing is usually right at the head of the tide where the fresh and saltwater mix. In the mousam this seems to be just a bit below rte 1. I don't know about the ogunquit, as i don't usually fish there. Both rivers have recently been stocked with mostly 12-14" fish but a few monster broodstock were reportedly put in as well.
Another good resource would be eldrege brothers flyshop in cape neddick, i'll see if i can find a number and post it later... I just found a website: http://www.eldredgeflyshop.com/
Good luck.
RE:Maine trout and/or salters?
I ran into a guy at the flyshop yesterday while xmas shopping and he was looking for pheasant tail nypmh and prince nymph materials. The Eldredge guys told him that small nymphs were working while sight fishing upriver in the Ogunquit. It's anything but automatic - listening to Steve Moore talk about anxiety of sight casting to searuns in coastal maine.
I agree with Matt's advice near tidewater, my friend caught a 3 lb salter on a kastmaster in tidewater.
They were totally off bite until the last hour of daylight, when they started to hit everything in sight. I landed one just under 24" up river in Scorton many moons ago.
The guys in Europe really know their way around "seatrout". Patagonians also have a premier searun brown fishery.
Any of you searun trout guys out there?
RE:Maine trout and/or salters?
Thanks! I was just guessing at the Mousam. It's nice to be right every now and then :) I've heard of Eldridges up in that area and now I know the exact street. I'll let you know how it goes.
Juro, I believe they have stopped stocking the "Creek," but Chuck R. swears he saw them sipping bugs there last Spring. I might have to go wander down that way this weekend. But wait. Now I'm re-reading your post.... did I miss some information from Steve somewhere? Are sea runs in need of zero impact?

Slayer: Grave New World
GW Jeff, were your parents influential in helping you get into music?
HANNEMAN Kerry had the supportive dad and got all the money and stuff from him. My dad was one of those hardcore guys that would say, "You're never gonna make it." [laughs] But there's no bitterness there. [laughs] Fuck it, I don't care. Kerry was just brought up differently than I was. Plus, it's irrelevant now, isn't it? But I just loved music: from Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, all the way to Sex Pistols and punk. Then one day, I can't tell you at what exact age, I just realized that I wanted to play guitar because it was cool.
GW So you were listening to lighter stuff like Zeppelin and Aerosmith. Can you point to a moment in your own past that led you down the path of extreme metal?
HANNEMAN I guess Zeppelin is some happy stuff compared to us. It's pretty hippy, too. The only thing I can put my finger on is, back when I was listening to Zeppelin and Aerosmith and whoever, I remember always liking the heavier songs. I knew that if I were ever in a band it would be all about being heavy and dark. At this point it's an unwritten rule for us to always sing about the dark side. We just do it. But I do know that in the beginning I always hated the love songs, and the happy, hippy ones, too.
KING Sure it's a nice, sunny day here, but the world is not all flowers. And there's five billion bands singing about the flowers. I just like to put things in perspective…hardcore style. [laughs] And I'm not into the flowers, anyway. [laughs] I don't know the exact thing that made me so aggro. That's something for the psychoanalysts to figure out.
GW Were you rebellious as kids?
KING Not really, because I was always worried about ramifications from my dad. My dad is 40 years older than me, and both my parents are old-fashioned. I stayed in line or I'd get hit. My dad would make me go out and pick the tree branch that I wanted to get hit with. I'd be like, "How about that little one over there." [laughs] Or he'd cut off a piece of the garden hose. That's true fear, man. Now if you hit your kids it's, "Oh, that's wrong." Fuck you. I got hit and I'm fine. Or maybe that's exactly my problem. [laughs]
HANNEMAN Wow. I've never heard that story. My dad was very into discipline, too. But I still rebelled. Me and my dad were so much alike that we would just butt heads. I pretty much hated him from the age of 16 to 24 for no real reason. My mentality was that I'd never let him win. I remember every once in a while he'd grab me by the throat and I would be like, [assuming a defiant stance] "Come on!" But after the age of 24 he became my hero. I loved the guy to death.
GW So, Kerry, you walked a pretty straight path when you were younger. Were you good in school, too?
KING Yeah, up until my senior year when I found chicks. [laughs] Then it was all over. In junior high I got the math award for the whole school, and by 12th grade I was in math analysis. But when I found girls, numbers just didn't make sense anymore. I didn't get it. And I used to own that shit. It's weird how quickly it fell apart: A's, A's, A's, D's. [laughs]
GW Let's talk a bit about the writing for World Painted Blood. Since 2001's God Hates Us All you guys have been mostly writing independently and bringing in tracks for the rest of the band. What are your home-demoing processes like?
HANNEMAN I have a drum machine at home that I use to work out my stuff. Then I come to practice with a CD and say, "Here's the song idea, what do you think?"
KING I basically map out the song at home so I have a method to my madness when I come into the studio. I have this old cassette player that I got from Radio Shack. It's the same thing I've been using since Slayer's beginnings. I just never graduated to the drum machine and the four-track like Jeff. I don't know how he has the patience to do it, because Jeff is not a patient man. [laughs] I'd rather play guitar and keep my ideas happening than have to stop and play around with the drum machine. I know in my head what I want the drums to be like, so when I go in I just convey that to Dave. It's funny because we were rehearsing for this album and I'd be bringing in cassettes like, "Well, here's the new song." And they had to look around to find something to play it on. [laughs]

On a 'QUEST' for tools to better teach science
Posted July 25, 2011; 12:00 p.m.
Carol Hill has been attending classes at Princeton University on and off since 1989. But she isn't a student.
Hill, who teaches fourth grade at Grant School in Trenton, is one of the approximately 1,300 teachers from schools across New Jersey who have come to Princeton University over the past 25 years to learn new and better ways to teach science through the QUEST Summer Institute.
"I love this program," Hill said. "The University and the faculty treat us as professionals, and because of this program I go back to my class more psyched to teach than ever. I learn something new every time I come here."

QUEST, which stands for Questioning Underlies Effective Science Teaching, is designed to enhance elementary, middle and high school teachers' knowledge of science and mathematics through hands-on laboratory experiments and field experiences, and to acquaint them with specific ideas and activities to use in their classrooms.
"We want to support those elementary teachers whose background might not be in science. We also want to further their discovery of inquiry-based instruction, which takes teachers beyond 'cookbook' experiments and tries to get students to drive the desire for knowledge," said Anne Catena, director of professional development initiatives in Princeton's Program in Teacher Preparation, which oversees QUEST.

The program, which this year ran from July 5-15, is taught by Princeton faculty and staff, as well as scientists from neighboring institutions. This summer's sessions included topics such as "RxeSEARCH," "Energy in the 21st Century" and "Life and Chemistry in the Ocean." Among other activities, institute participants performed experiments in labs and outdoors using solar and wind power at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and collected water samples from Lake Carnegie.
Hill said the QUEST program helps her meet the challenge of sharing her passion for teaching science with her students, many of whom are not native English speakers. "Through this program, it never gets stale, and it makes me want to be a better teacher," she said.
Catena noted that, for teachers, one of the attractions of the program is that it has constantly evolved since its first sessions were held in 1986. The amount of time spent on math to complement the science has ebbed and flowed over the years based on feedback from teachers' school districts. The program's length also has varied -- lasting anywhere from one to four weeks.
"We've changed focus based on district needs," said Catena. "We've obtained more funding through research grants, and we're trying to take the burden off the districts."
Catena said the program also has changed in its use of technology to connect the teachers with Princeton's faculty and scientists.

For example, Michael Bender, a Princeton professor of geosciences, whose research focuses on atmospheric and oceanic sciences, was included in the QUEST program via Skype from South Africa.
Hill, who has been a teacher for more than 30 years, also said she loves meeting other teachers who come through the program, from the experienced teachers such as herself to the young, new teachers such as Matt DiDonato.
DiDonato, a member of the Princeton class of 2012, is majoring in astrophysical sciences and pursuing a certificate in teacher preparation. He will spend the fall semester as a student teacher in high school physics in South Brunswick. His senior thesis focuses on creating a curriculum using astronomy to teach physics.
"This program, with its inquiry-based instruction, is perfect for helping with my idea to use things that the students are already interested in -- the stars, space -- to make learning physics not super scary," he said.
For DiDonato, QUEST has an added benefit: Learning from the teachers and faculty who have been there before him.
"Being in this program, I realize how important the education I got at Princeton and the education I'm getting here are," he said. "Going into my first full year of teaching, I didn't know what to expect, but the people here, along with the program, are helping me realize that I do know how to make this stuff accessible to my students."

TUPELO – Every year, the Salvation Army's Empty Bowls event gives hundreds of handmade pottery pieces to attendees. Most are made by the Salvation Army's Women's Auxiliary, others are donated by local potters.
This year, however, more than 120 of the pieces will come from Harry McBride and his apprentice, Bruce Johnson.
Johnson came to the art of pottery after suffering a stroke in 2010 that paralyzed the left side of his body.
"I had a real tough time adjusting," he said. "I'm the type of person who's never able to sit still."
Johnson, originally left-handed, had to learn to operate with his right hand. Unable to return to his job as a management consultant, he started teaching himself the Chinese language, and penned a memoir about his stroke experience.
"I also got to know a lot of my neighbors. Before, I knew about five, now I probably know a hundred," he said.
One of those neighbors turned out to be Harry McBride, a longtime potter who picked the craft back up after leaving his job. Over time, McBride converted his garage into a pottery workshop. It was his wife, however, who noticed Johnson zipping around the neighborhood in his motorized chair, and thought the two might make a pair.
"My wife always knows what's going on with everyone," McBride said. "I didn't realize at first that he only had the use of his right hand, but I tried to make something with just one hand, and when I found I could do it, I figured he could, too."
McBride said Johnson showed a natural aptitude for pottery through his strength and passion for the work.
"I did it once and fell in love," Johnson said. "I'm kind of an artistic type, and pottery is something you can really lose yourself in."
The two quickly fell to making plates, bowls, mugs and candle sticks. When they found out about the Empty Bowls event, they were more than happy to contribute.
"The Auxiliary was thankful for any help they can get," McBride said. "They make bowls year round for this event."
The Empty Bowls event, the annual Salvation Army fundraiser that serves soup provided by local restaurants, is March 27 at the Tupelo Furniture Market's Building V. Tickets are $15, and include an empty bowl that represents the hunger the Army works to alleviate.
Tickets are available through the Salvation Army's headquarters, as well as through the Fairpark Salon, Reed's Gift Shop, Midnite Pottery, Way-Fil Jewelry, and Stone's Jewelry.

Program Review: Energy Cleanup
This report, the latest in a series responding to the Act's mandate, updates and adds new information on the use of Recovery Act funds for Department of Energy cleanup projects.
What GAO Found
The Recovery Act provided $6 billion to the Department of Energy (DOE) that it is using to clean up 17 sites contaminated by radioactive and hazardous wastes from decades of nuclear research and weapons production.
Office of Environmental Management Recovery Act-Funded Jobs Peaked at about 11,000 FTE Employees Late in Fiscal Year 2010
From October 2009 through March 2012, the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) and working on Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) cleanup projects peaked at about 11,000 FTEs in the quarter ending September 2010, according to data on the federal government's Recovery Act website. By the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, as projects were completed, FTEs had decreased to about 1,400 FTEs; 12 of 17 sites reported no Recovery Act FTEs; and about $5.6 billion of a total $6 billion in Recovery Act funds had been spent.
EM Has Completed Most Projects, but Inconsistent Data Make Assessing Project Performance Difficult
According to EM data, as of April 30, 2012, 78 of the 112 Recovery Act-funded cleanup projects were complete, and 72 of the 78 projects met DOE's performance standard of completing project work scope without exceeding the cost target by more than 10 percent. According to EM officials, the completed Recovery Act projects have helped accelerate the cleanup at the sites. GAO, however, found several inconsistencies in how EM set and documented projects' scope, cost, and schedule targets. Without clear scope, cost, or schedule targets in performance baselines, it becomes difficult to assess project performance. For example, in some cases, EM set scope targets differently in different documents and claimed project success even if key performance parameters were not achieved. Current guidance on setting performance baselines is more comprehensive for capital asset projects, such as building or demolishing facilities or constructing remediation systems, than for projects known as operation activity projects, such as operating a groundwater treatment plant. In addition, capital asset projects costing under $10 million are classified as operation activity projects.
Project Management Problems Occurred on EM Recovery Act Projects, and EM Is Taking Steps to Identify Lessons Learned
Some of EM's long-standing project management problems occurred during its implementation of several Recovery Act projects, primarily insufficient early planning before setting performance baselines. For example, a project to remove wastes from a landfill at one site exceeded its $111 million cost target by $20 million because, after beginning the project, officials determined that the site would need to be excavated to a depth of almost double that planned. In addition, EM's new initiative to reclassify projects as either capital asset or operation activity projects raised concerns about how projects were reclassified. EM does not have a clear policy that sets out under what conditions and how EM should break a capital asset project into smaller, discrete operation activity projects. Project classification is important, however, because some requirements apply only to capital asset projects. EM's guidance for projects classified as operation activity projects under this initiative states that certain approval and reporting requirements will not be applied, and others will be applied as appropriate. Some DOE and other officials expressed concern that projects could be broken into smaller projects to avoid the requirements. For example, a $30 million project, partially funded with Recovery Act funds, was divided into 18 smaller projects, each below the $10 million threshold. The cost for one of these smaller projects eventually doubled—from $8 million to $16 million—but was not reclassified as a capital asset project. EM has been gathering information on lessons learned from Recovery Act projects, some of which could be applied as corrective measures to other EM cleanup work.
GAO's RecommendationsBack to top
To help ensure that EM more effectively manages all its projects, GAO recommends, among other things, that DOE (1) clarify guidance on developing and documenting project performance baselines and (2) issue a policy that sets out the criteria with greater specificity for reclassifying capital asset projects over $10 million into smaller operation activity projects under $10 million. DOE agreed with GAO's recommendations.

G1971, Reviewed October 1993
Active or planned solar collection systems fall into two broad categories. They are
Concentrating collectors collect the sun's rays from a relatively large area and focus them on a point. If you ever used a magnifying glass to focus the sun's rays to start a fire, you have used a concentrating collector. In the field of solar collection, parabolic (bowl-shaped) mirrors (Figure 1) are generally used instead of a magnifying glass. The effect is the same.
Figure 1Two general types of solar collectors.
Parabolic mirrors can create extremely high temperatures (over 2,000 degrees). These can be used to generate steam, which can be used directly or to power electrical generators.
Concentrating collectors require precisely constructed surfaces and a tracking device to "follow" the sun across the sky during the day. Because of this, they are relatively expensive and need much maintenance. We generally don't consider them in agriculture because we rarely need the high quality, or high temperature, heat for warming farm buildings.
The flat plate collector requires no tracking device to capture the sun's energy. It absorbs energy directly from the sun as well as indirect or diffuse radiation reflected off nearby buildings, ground, or clouds. Flat plate collectors are capable of providing temperatures up to 150 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit and are relatively simple to build. These factors make the flat plate collector the logical choice for agricultural space heating needs.
There are many different designs for flat plate collectors, but they all have two basic characteristics:
The two media most commonly used for absorbing and transferring the heat are air and water.
An air collector can be as simple as a bare sheet of metal, like a metal roof, painted a dull black to absorb as much energy as possible, with air blown underneath in a duct of some type (Figure 2a).
Figure 2Typical air solar collectors
A second type, called a covered plate collector (Figure 2b), uses a cover plate of glass, plastic or fiberglass with air circulated between the cover and the absorber plate. The cover acts as a barrier between the wind and absorber and reduces heat loss from the absorber plate to the outside air due to wind blowing across the surface and taking away some of the heat.
A third type, called a covered, suspended plate (Figure 2c), has air circulated both above and below the absorber plate. This provides twice as much surface area for heat transfer from the absorber plate to the air. The top cover reduces convection loss from the wind across the surface, as it does in the covered plate type.
In most collectors, insulation for the back of the collector is necessary to reduce the conduction heat loss through the rear of the collector. A cover (as in 2b or 2c) also reduces radiation heat loss from the front of the collector.
A water collector has the same basic components as an air collector: an absorber plate and a transfer medium. The difference is in how the medium is passed over the absorber.
The basic water collector consists of an absorber plate, generally with water tubes attached, a cover, and insulation behind the absorber plate (Figure 3). Heat from the absorber plate is removed by the water circulating in the tubes. Another type of water collector has no water tubes. The water simply flows down over the absorber in a sheet or in an open channel if the absorber is corrugated. The type with tubes is generally more efficient, but the open channel type generally costs less.
Figure 3A water solar collector
Freezing in the winter can be a problem with water collectors. You can get around that problem by draining the collector when it is not in use or by adding antifreeze to the water. Other problems with water solar collectors include leaks in the plumbing and metal corrosion.
Solar air heaters are the most common choice for livestock housing because of the water collector's disadvantages and because air collectors do not require a heat exchanger for space heating.
The efficiency of a solar collector is defined as the ratio of the amount of useful heat collected to the total amount of solar radiation striking the collector surface during any time period.
One of the problems with flat plate systems designed to date has been the relatively low efficiency compared to other heating systems. Efficiencies are low because of the high losses in collection and transport of solar energy. Heat is lost through the front, sides and back of the collector, by reflection from the cover, and by direct radiation from the heated flat plate. Typical day-long efficiencies for different types of flat plate collectors are presented in Table 1.
Table 1Collection efficiencies for flat plate collectors
Instantaneous efficiencies (collector efficiency at an instant during the day when everything is "right") can be considerably higher than the average day-long efficiency. Remember this when evaluating manufacturer's or designer's claims for a particular type of collector.
Several modifications of the basic collectors will improve efficiency. If the collector will operate at more than 50 degrees difference between the outside air temperature and the circulating medium's temperature, you can increase efficiency by adding an additional cover. Each additional cover reduces convection and radiation loss. But by adding a cover, you increase cost and reflection losses from the glass or other material. An optimum number of covers must be found. Two covers are best for home collectors while one cover is sufficient for livestock housing.
Another way to improve efficiency is by selecting the best absorbing surfaces. An absorber can be treated chemically so that it will absorb most of the radiation striking it without re-radiating much of the absorbed heat out to the surroundings. This treatment is fairly expensive, but it increases efficiency when you need higher temperatures.
Reflectors can also increase the amount of radiation striking the collector face. You may want to make other modifications, including various absorber plate designs that are more efficient: overlapping glass or corrugated, finned, or bonded tube-in-sheet design.
Weigh improvements in efficiency against the increase in cost and maintenance requirements of the system. Usually, the more efficient a collector is, the more costly it is. A less efficient but also less costly collector may prove to be more cost-effective in delivering a given amount of heat. As new design, manufacturing and installation developments occur, the relative cost effectiveness of alternate collectors will undoubtedly change.
Solar collectors are being made of many different materials and in a wide variety of designs. The materials used should be able to resist weather, as a roof or wall must, and the adverse effects of the sun's radiation. Water collectors should resist freezing and corrosion or clogging due to acidity, alkalinity, hardness of water, or the water-antifreeze mixture. Air collectors should be able to resist dust, moisture and breakage of the glazing (transparent cover) due to hail, thermal expansion or other causes. Your goal is a design that will economically produce useful heat with a minimum of repair, maintenance and replacement of parts.
Glass is most often the cover for solar collectors used for space heating of homes or industrial or public buildings. Glass reduces convection losses. It is also a good transmitter of the incoming solar radiation but radiates almost no heat from the absorber surface to the surroundings. This is the so-called "greenhouse" or "heat-trap" effect. This effect explains why the inside of your car gets hot on a warm summer day. The window glass traps the heat in the car.
However, all of the heat is not trapped by glass covers. The glass absorbs some of the heat radiated from the absorber, which causes the glass temperature to rise, and some heat is lost due to the temperature difference between the glass and surroundings.
Both single-strength and double-strength window glass are commonly used. Eighty-seven percent of the incoming solar radiation can pass through the glass; the rest is either reflected or absorbed in the glass.
Where there is high danger of hail or vandals breaking the glass, a one-half inch wire mesh can protect the glass from damage. The screen shades the glass and decreases the effective collector area by about 15 percent, so the total collector area must be increased accordingly.
Plastic films or sheets are also used as cover materials. Only a few types now available can withstand the sun's rays for more than one or two years. With plastics, solar radiation is 92 percent transmittable, but the plastics do not perform as well as a heat trap. They permit up to 30 percent of the long wave radiation to be radiated to the surroundings from the absorber. For livestock buildings or for temporary installations, the plastics do have certain advantages. They are flexible, which helps them withstand wind, hail, etc., and are easier to install and cheaper than glass. They provide a convection barrier in the same way glass does. In some designs with two covers, one layer of glass is used along with a layer of plastic underneath.
Greenhouse-grade fiberglass is most often used as a cover in livestock buildings. It performs in about the same way as glass except somewhat less solar radiation is transmittable: 80 percent vs. 87 percent for glass. It also is less likely to break with expansion or contraction of the collector housing.
Absorber plates should:
An absorber plate painted black will absorb more radiant energy than any other plate color. A black surface can absorb about 95 percent of solar radiation. A flat black paint should be used to reduce possible reflection.
Special coatings may reduce the amount of heat radiated from the plate to surroundings. These coatings absorb the same amount of radiant energy as regular black surfaces, but emit or radiate much less.
Materials generally used for collector plates are copper, plywood, aluminum and steel. Copper is the most expensive but also has the highest thermal conductivity. Steel is the least expensive but also has the lowest conductivity of the three. For water heating collectors especially, the conductivity is important. For copper, the water tubes, which are bonded to the absorber plate, may be spaced farther apart than for a material with less conductivity. If the entire area of the absorber is swept by the transfer fluid, the conductivity of the plate is much less important. See Table 2 for more information.
Table 2Radiant energy absorption and emittance for several surface materials
Another important consideration is the bond of the water tubes to the plate. The soldering connection must be good or efficiency will suffer. Such bonding is more of a problem with aluminum. Some plates use bonded tube-in-sheet design, like many refrigerator shelves used to. This provides good thermal contact.
For air collectors, wood and plastics have been used as absorber plates. They generally do not perform quite as efficiently as the metals but are sometimes acceptable since the cost per square foot of collector might be reduced. Surface area of the plate also affects heat transfer in air collectors. Many designs include fins or corrugations to increase this area, thereby increasing heat transfer.
The housing may be a wooden, sheet metal, or fiber-reinforced plastic frame. A wood frame needs moisture-resistant backing. Paint sheet metal frames to prevent rusting.
Secure the cover sheet firmly with weather-resistant gaskets that allow expansion and contraction of the cover yet keep moisture out. This expansion-contraction joint is especially important with glass covers, since glass expands one and one-half times more than steel and two times more than wood. This joint is not nearly as important for plastic or fiberglass covers.
Add insulation to the back and exposed sides of the collector to reduce heat loss in those directions.
Stagnation temperatures, which occur during periods when the solar system does not operate, can approach 300 degrees Fahrenheit in flat plate collectors. For this reason, select insulating materials that can withstand high temperature without deteriorating. Mineral wood materials (fiberglass and rock wool) are most often used for collector insulation.

Gay teens coming out to a different world, find new support, more acceptance
At first blush, it seemed like just another teen dance in North Jersey. Lights were flashing. Lady Gaga was wailing over the sound system. And 70 or so brightly dressed teenagers were jumping around, laughing, tearing up the dance floor and waiting for the pizza to arrive.
One notable difference: All of the teens at this event at the Cresskill Congregational Church of Christ identify themselves as LGBT — lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
The teens, who hail from about 20 towns in North Jersey, are also members of The Rainbow Cafe, an LGBT social program created four years ago by the church in collaboration with the Bergen County chapter of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. PFLAG is the nation's largest support organization for gays and their loved ones.
These youths seem unlike previous generations of gay teens, who hid or submerged their sexual orientations. But that could be because their world is so different from their predecessors'. From legislation to mainstream pop-culture depictions, society has changed how it views and integrates these kids, just as it has affected how they view themselves.
Last weekend, when Michael Sam celebrated being the first openly gay football player drafted by the NFL by kissing his boyfriend on the lips, video of that kiss aired repeatedly on ESPN and the NFL Network; morning TV's top-rated show is headlined by Robin Roberts, a lesbian who frequently discusses her partner on the air; the right to be married is legal in 18 states (including New Jersey) and the District of Columbia; and gay characters and actors are the leads of many primetime network TV shows, as opposed to 1997, when there was one.
Rainbow Cafe member Michael Morell, 17, of Fort Lee was not quite 10 months old in 1997, when Ellen DeGeneres made headlines outing her character (and herself) on the sitcom "Ellen" to friends, family members and a television audience of 43 million people.
Today, Morell (who said he didn't even know DeGeneres had a sitcom), is an openly gay student at Fort Lee High School and a self-described activist, who is involved in a variety of school organizations, from the Spanish club, color guard and fashion club to his school's chapter of the Gay-Straight Alliance, which he founded two years ago. He's also senior class president and, in the words of his principal, Dr. Frank Calabria, "super-involved, extremely mature and a young man we can always count on to get things done."
Morell is one of more than 25 of the teenagers at the dance who talked to The Record, shared their personal journeys and explained why they're "out of the closet" — to their friends, their parents and, in some cases, their entire high schools. Or, their entire middle schools.
Morell said he waited until high school to be open about his sexuality, because, "in middle school, it was different."
"I was confused," he said. "But as I got older ... it's great to come out for your emotional and physical health. Keeping that secret, which means you're basically lying all the time ... creates an unhealthy atmosphere."
While Morell has a real interest in the post-Stonewall gay rights movement, he said at least one buzzword from that era makes him bristle: "'Tolerance' is not a word I'm comfortable with," he said. "If you don't like me because of my personality, that's fine. But not accepting me because I'm gay? No. Being gay or black or Hispanic ... doesn't mean you have different values or morals. And there's no way I'm going to walk around saying, 'I'm Hispanic and I'm gay. Tolerate me.' That's not what I'm looking for. That's not who I am."
There are now about 2.7 million school-age LGBT young people in the U.S., according to the national organization Lambda Legal, which notes that, based on recent studies, the average age for gay and lesbian young people to come out is now 16 — down from 19-23 years old, previously. (There are no numbers available for North Jersey, specifically.)
Some of these openly gay millennials came out in the spirit of activism. But most said they were simply tired of lying and hiding who they are. Either way, they're part of a trend that Michael Hellegers, a high school English teacher from Totowa, attributes, in large part, to the national shift in attitudes toward lesbians and gays, as well as the immense influence of social media — which today's teens use to share almost every aspect of their lives.
"To today's kids," Hellegers said, "everything is an announcement."
All of the gay and bisexual teens interviewed by The Record agreed there is no one-size-fits-all way of proclaiming one's sexual orientation in school — assuming a student even wants to. Among kids who are "different," observed one, "everyone is different."
Some of these students, like 16-year-old "Ron," came out cautiously: "I told one friend, and then he told someone else. It was slow. A process." Others, like 15-year old "Gina," took the go-big-or-go-home route: "I just put on Facebook, 'I like girls.' That pretty much took care of it."
Paulie Boranian, a 17-year-old student at Teaneck High School, said he's been out since middle school, although he didn't tell his parents until he was 14. "I came out in seventh grade to a straight boy I had a crush on," Boranian said. "I tried to be nonchalant about it, but three days later, the whole school knew. I didn't mind that everyone knew about me, but I minded that everyone was making fun of him. I found that really weird."
Easier for females
All of the teens said that it is generally easier for female students to come out as gay or bisexual than it is for males. Michael LaSala, the author of "Coming Out, Coming Home" agreed. "Generally, homosexuality and/or cross-gendered behavior among males has always been more stigmatized than that for females. People think tomboys are cute. But do you ever hear a parent say, 'Look at my little sissy boy, isn't he adorable?'Ÿ" said LaSala, who is also the director of the masters of social work program at Rutgers University.
Still, the lesbian teens interviewed saw things a bit differently. "I think it's because we're just girls," said one 15-year-old with a sigh. "No one cares."
Her girlfriend, also 15, agreed: "The boys just smile, or whatever, when they find out you're gay. They don't take it seriously. And they think it's hot. But they think everything is hot. Do you know any 15-year-old boys? They're like 3-year-olds, with sex."
The teens said that while it is easier for the either the more attractive or feminine-appearing girls to come out, it is easier for boys who can "pass" for straight to remain in the closet.
Morell said two athletes at his school have come out to him, privately, as gay, "because they just wanted to tell someone."
"But they don't see coming out to everyone as something they have to do," he said.
Boranian wishes that wasn't the case. "I think it would be great for all of us if the gay jocks came out, but they won't because they want to fit in," he said. "I don't fit in and I don't care, but it bothers me, in a way, because I think that, in my school, I'm what straight people think all gay people are ... and that's not the case.
"People refer to me as 'flamboyant' because that's what I am," Boranian continued. "Sometimes I have a beard, or I wear makeup or whatever. I can be abrasive and loud, but I think my persona protects me. Sure, people say things and talk behind your back, but that's high school. Everybody talks about everybody, anyway."
Eric Hanken, 25, didn't come out in high school and said it's something he thinks teens shouldn't consider at all. Hanken, a regular attendee at monthly meetings of PFLAG in Washington Township, lives in nearby New City, N.Y., and divides his time between his parents' house there and his boyfriend's home in Oakland.
Hanken said he began to question his sexuality around age 15 — but no one else did. "I wasn't the flamboyant type," he said. "I was really into cars and all that. I finally told one friend when I was 21, then I went on a binge and told everyone. My mom didn't have a problem with it. She was a cop and her best friend was a male cop who was gay. But, in high school, many of my friends were homophobic. There are plenty of bigoted teachers, too. As for the other kids at school — you may be mature for your age, but that doesn't mean they are."
Dr. Lauren LaPorta, chairman of psychiatry at St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center in Paterson, concurred. Although straight kids may be more familiar today than they were years ago with gay issues, LaPorta said, "they're still kids."
"And kids, in general, are not nice," she said. "They pick on each other, tease each other, they bully. Beyond that, teenagers don't have much life experience. They have access to the Internet and all of this other information [about gay issues], but that doesn't mean they can process it maturely and intelligently."
Henry Van Kooy, a social studies teacher at Fair Lawn High School, and the faculty adviser for its Gay-Straight Alliance, an after-school club, said that if a student came to him and said he or she wanted to come out as gay, "I wouldn't discourage them, but I'd want them to consider the potential consequences. We have all this talk about tolerance and acceptance. But gay kids [who come out in school] can't assume that everyone is going to accept them with open arms. There has to be acceptance and tolerance on both sides."
Gaining acceptance
Acceptance at home isn't a given, either. Nationally, between 20 and 40 percent of all homeless teens and young adults are gay, according to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. In New Jersey, the numbers range from 10 to 30 percent, said John Mikytuck, interim executive director of the civil rights group Garden State Equality.
"The biggest cause of displacement is family conflict," Mikytuck said, adding that those conflicts are due in part to the fact "a lot of them are coming out at 14, 15 and 16."
David Bocock, the pastor at the Cresskill Congregational Church of Christ and a co-director of the Rainbow Cafe, said, "We hear these stories from time to time and the conflicts are usually based on religious beliefs, that being gay is evil and wicked, although that seems to be changing — and I think shows like 'Will and Grace' and 'Modern Family' have made a difference. The kids don't watch these shows, but their parents do and I think seeing all these gay characters on TV has helped them be more accepting."
Bocock said he believes that same-sex marriage has significantly altered the landscape. All of the gay millennials who spoke to The Record said they hope eventually to marry — an option that makes this generation of gay teens view their sexuality, and their decision to be more open about it, in a way that is significantly different from what their predecessors experienced.
The Rainbow Cafe sponsors four dances a year at the church, in addition to other activities. "All the events, like tonight's dance, have adult chaperones," Bocock said, "and we've had no negative feedback. In fact, since we started in 2010, volunteers in other areas have contacted us to set up Rainbow Cafes to serve their gay teen communities. We have one in Morristown, one in Sussex, and Asbury Park wants to start one, too."
When the pizza finally arrived — to cheers — and the dance floor cleared, Bocock grinned. "We do get good pizza," he said. "But we're also giving these kids an opportunity to experience dating and relationships while they're still in high school, just like other kids do — something most of them wouldn't be able to do otherwise, and something that previous generations of gay kids didn't have at all."

Hi Lee,
Any info on the Derby.
Janie Mac
Are you speaking in general, or specifically about this event?
If you are speaking specifically about this event, you are speaking about one of the judges on his first assignment. This particular judge has worked very hard for quite a few years to learn how to train his own dog, attended many seminars to learn bird placement/wind/terrain, and general dog knowledge. He has worked alot of events with jobs from bird steward, marshall, gun captain, and chairman. He has supported Clubs in several states, contributed to Retriever Sports from his heart. His honesty is unquestionalble, and he has served his Country in the Air Force during War Time.
Can he be expected to be an excellent judge his first time out, probably not,however the fact that he stood at the line so folks can run there dogs should be enough to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I would doubt that many of us were perfect our first time judging. Please consider what you state, and make sure it is important enough to possibly deter a judge from becoming a good judge in the future.

Quite a first post!
The beginning is often scary, the end is usually sad, but fortunately, it's the middle that counts the most.
Has this person ever judged or even worked in any capacity at any field event or was this there first trial ever, to bad they sure want to hope that know one finds out who they really are.
D Beacock
We couldn't make it, but the judging panel for the minor stakes was a real attraction for us. My wife ran her first ever dog event under Mike--a JH where he was incredibly nice and helpful for someone who was about to throw up from nervousness. Now that she is running Qs it would have been fun to see Mike in the chair. And then there is John Fallon. Never laid eyes on the guy but would love to see what he is like in real life after reading his posts on RTF for years.
Train, don't complain!
Howard Niemi
You really gotta be careful about how high a pedestal you put your method, your accomplishments, your dog on. There's usually someone who's done more, somewhere. And they may have used a different method than you did! Chris Atkinson 2013

Freshwater puffers
Hey guys, I've posted before about puffers, but I'm still not sure which direction i want to take my 40g tank. I've been reading conflicting information on the net about which puffer species are truly freshwater and which aren't.
I've been told so far that Dwarf Puffers, Hairy Puffers, and Figure 8's are the more common FW species.
Do you guys have any stocking recommendations as to which FW species including ones I haven't mentioned I could make work in my 40g?
The south american freshwater puffer(colomesus asellus) is one of the least abrasive,in a community situation.The other species will bite chunks out of most fish.Plus, the puffer lives quite far up the amazon with little to no salinity.

Thanks for the reply about the SAPs, I looked up some info on these guys and it says it recommends a sand substrate but i have a softer rounded gravel. Do you think this will be a problem for puffers if I get them?
If it will be, I've read about pool filter sand and how that should be good but I wouldnt even know how to go about changing all the substrate. Would this affect my cycling process going on at all? Also how many of the South American Puffers would you recommend for a 40g?
Changing substrate has no effect on the cycle - those bacteria are in the filter (and why you never change filter media!)
Changing out substrate is not difficult. Just rehouse any fish (but don't have to), scoop out hold gravel; clean the new sand, and using a large cup, gently lower the cup full of sand and pour it into place.\
If the tank is very cloudy, just drain out most the water and slowly replace or just wait - it will clear in a day or two.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

Teresa Blalack loves to cook, but she doesn't really care a lot about eating. "My husband thinks about food all day long, but I just eat when I get hungry," she said. "I might fix half of a peanut butter sandwich or have a bowl of cereal or wrap a piece of lunch meat around some cheese."
Blalack, who works as a secretary for a plumbing company, learned the basics of cooking in a home economics class when she was growing up in Greenville. Her family moved there in 1959 to open a Shipley Do-Nuts franchise.
"We had to plan and cook a meal every year in home ec and our parents had to grade us on it," she said. "That's where I learned the fundamentals of cooking, how to measure, how to follow directions."
She also learned a few things from her mother and mother-in-law, but more often, she relied on cookbooks.
"In my opinion, if you can read a recipe, you can cook," she said. "But cookbooks are a thing of the past, I think sometimes. Everybody gets recipes off the computer now. All you have to have is a key word."
Blalack, 54, has actually compiled a cookbook of her favorite recipes on her computer and she passes them on to family members.
"When my nieces and cousins get married, I make them a copy and give it to them as part of their wedding gift," she said. "I guess there are close to 100 recipes in it. I've yet to put together one for myself, though."
Blalack cooks three or four times a week and her husband, Ronnie, grills on the weekends.
"I try not to cook on the weekends," she said, laughing. "We might grill hamburgers, hotdogs, smoked sausage, fish or chicken. We're big on leftovers. We hardly throw anything away."
Even when it's bad.
"The first meatloaf I ever made was like a brick," she recalled. "I have no idea what went wrong. But my husband ate everything I made. Bless his heart. One time, I made homemade pizzas and I had a cold and I couldn't tell by smell how much garlic I'd put in it. Well, it opened up my sinuses and the whole house smelled like garlic for weeks. It was strong, but he ate it."
She's had many successes since then, especially when it comes to her Jalapeño Pepper Cheese Log.
"That recipe has been all over Tupelo," she said. "Everybody wants it. People think they don't like anything hot, but once they try it, you'll see them coming for another little bite."
Do you know a good cook? Send your nominations to Ginna Parsons, Cook of the Week, P.O. Box 909, Tupelo, MS 38802. Or you can fax them to (662) 842-2233 or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Only the Gambian president has press freedom
On July 22, Gambian President Yahya Jammeh once again went after journalists in an interview on the country's only state-run television station. The president made a thinly veiled threat toward six independent journalists currently facing "seditious publication" and "criminal defamation" charges in the country: "So they think they can hide behind so-called press freedom and violate the law and get away with it. They got it wrong this time. We are going to prosecute them to the letter," Jammeh said.

Looks like Mrs Elk has beat her cancer so I will have more time this fall -
The best news in all these post, tell her God's speed and congratulations from the "Turkey gang"!
Your right you want a turkey dog to range wide and hunt fast, to surprise birds. Although as someone said, you don't normally want to shoot a flying turkey, but if the right shot presents its self (close and quartering, crossing or rising away) you can kill em flying. A dog cements this as he can run down a bird. I have been admonished for running or flying shots on this forum, but all of the birds I've shot flying rolled up in a dead pile, even more so than standing birds. Just understand i am choosing carefully on my flying shots.

First-year Tupelo High football coach Trent Hammond has added some familiar faces to his Golden Wave coaching staff in John Keith and Mike Davis.
"One of the biggest things in coaching is having chemistry," Hammond said. "You have to have guys who fit together and can work together."
Keith, a Mooreville native and former Ole Miss player, was Hammond's offensive coordinator during his three-year tenure in Amory. He will remain in that role at Tupelo.
"John was a graduate assistant for David Cutcliffe at Ole Miss," Hammond said. "He has a tremendous knowledge of the passing game. He was instrumental in us changing from a traditional offense to a quick-tempo offense the last few years."
Davis, who coached on Hammond's staff at Lawrence County, will join his former boss as defensive backs and special teams coach.
"Mike replaced me in 2004 as head coach at Lawrence County," Hammond said. "He's extremely organized and very good at finding ways to do things better and make us more efficient."
Hammond is looking to fill two more positions on his staff. Lamar Aldridge, Fred Hadley and Brian Jones will return next season from former coach David Bradberry's staff.
Tupelo kicks off it first spring practice under Hammond on April 24. The team will practice 15 days and have an intrasquad scrimmage May 10.
Tupelo hosts Warren Central on Monday at Rob Leake City Park courts in the first round of the MHSAA Class 6A team tennis playoffs.
Other first-round matchups in 6A North are: Northwest Rankin at DeSoto Central, Grenada at Clinton and Southaven at Madison Central
In Class 5A, Saltillo plays at Starkville and Neshoba Central visits defending state champion Oxford.
The North qualifiers, according to the updated brackets on the MHSAA website for the state team competition in 3A are: Alcorn Central, South Pontotoc, Belmont and Kossuth.
In 4A, only New Albany is listed. The Bulldogs host Greenwood on Tuesday.
The state finals are scheduled for May 1 at Ridgeland Tennis Center (1A, 3A, 5A) and Bridges Tennis Center (2A, 4A, 6A).
The individual state championships are scheduled for May 2-3 at the same sites.
Houlka High School has plans to build a football stadium on a lot behind the school's baseball field. The Wildcats have played their home games in recent years at Okolona High School's field.
Houlka coach Rob Allen says the team's booster club is holding two fundraisers to help with the effort: May 4 – Spaghetti supper; May 25 – Pro wrestling show.

Catherine Doll
In the early morning hours of Oct. 10th, 2013, our Lord and Savior wrapped His arms around our mother, Catherine Doll, to take her home. Catherine was born on July 21, 1927, in Madison, to Frank and Edith (Beyler) Statz. She married Philip J. Doll, Sr., on Nov. 27, 1948, in Madison at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. Catherine was a 1945 graduate of Central High School.
After raising her 12 children, she went to work at UW Hospital in the Pediatric Eye Clinic and retired from there in 1997. All because two people fell in love, Catherine is survived by all her children, John, Connie (Neal) Bickler, Catherine (David) Williams, Philip (Janet), Amy, Candace (Stephen) Dott, Dana (Diane), Christine (Jack) Toal, David (Mary Beth), Dennis (Jill), Darlene (Tom) Brown, and Todd (Carrie). She is also survived by 40 grandchildren; and 35 great grandchildren, with many more to be expected.
Others surviving include sisters-in-law, Jane Statz and Lois Statz; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Philip on Sept. 30, 1994. Also going before her were her two sisters, Janet (George) Hank and Mary Jane Statz; five brothers, Charles (Doris), Philip, Jack (Katie), Frank and James Statz; and in-laws, Delores (Gregory) Bachhuber, Gloria (John) Holly, and Stanley (Lois) Doll. There will be a time of Reflections by the family at IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY CATHOLIC CHURCH, 5101 Schofield St., Monona, at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013, with a Mass of Christian Burial following at 11:30 a.m. A luncheon will be served in Marion Hall immediately following the celebration of Catherine's life. Burial will be at Resurrection Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the CHURCH from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 14, 2013, and from 10:00 a.m. until the time of Reflections on Tuesday. Memorials can be made to Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church or your favorite charity.

groups.google.com hates greylisting
Dear Google,
Here's a Wikipedia article for you: Greylisting.
After you've read that, then consider the error message I always get for my groups.google.com account when you disable mail sending to me due to "bouncing":
Bounce status Your email address is currently flagged as bouncing. For additional information or to correct this, view your email status here [link].
"Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain haxx.se by [mailserver]. The error that the other server returned was: 451 4.7.1 Greylisting in action, please come back later"
See, even the error message spells out what it is all about!
Thanks to this feature of Google groups, I cannot participate in any such lists/groups for as long as I keep my greylisting activated since it'll keep disabling mail delivery to me.
Enabling greylisting decreased my spam flood to roughly a third of the previous volume (and now I'm at 500-1000 spam emails/day) so I'm not ready to disable it yet. I just have to not use google groups.

Botnets of the Web - How to Hijack One
A relatively small but also somewhat unknown type of botnets are automatically attacking web servers and joining them together into a classic C&C botnet. These bots are flawed by design and often use code from each other, thus the same types of flaws are consistent among almost all bots encountered. This presentation dives into finding these botnets, what the flaws in these bots are, how to exploit them, and a live demo.
