Better for more money is a more complicated question...
Thank you all for your responses. This is very useful information. I am new to Arduino it is not clear to me how big the market is for shields. What little I could find regarding Arduino sales seems quite impressive. My intention was to address the elegence of system integration using shields as apposed to functions wired into the host. I was hoping there would be intrest in not only motor drivers but optical detectors, laser drivers, and analog sensor interface shields offering high performance and robust but user friendly software. Many of which could be realized for a reasonable price. The key is the desire to simply plug the function directly on the Arduino and run.T. Boyd

A few new faces — but not many — among megadonors to presidential super PACs
August 1, 2015 | The 2016 presidential race may be a whole new ball game in terms of fundraising, but most of the players' names are awfully familiar — even if their faces are a bit more lined. Very few of the top donors to the super PACs backing one of the many GOP White House hopefuls or handful…
For-Profit Education's Million-Dollar Letter
May 30, 2014 | The public comment period ended this week on the Education Department's proposed new rules to limit federal aid to colleges and universities whose graduates are particularly debt-saddled or have high rates of student loan default. The rules would hit for-profit institutions hardest. But the industry is fighting back — and it has allies. Last week, 36…
Two New Industries Profiled on OpenSecrets.org: For-profit Education and Payday Lending
June 11, 2012 | OpenSecrets.org is rolling out two brand new profiles of industries that are also relatively new to the Washington power structure: for-profit education and payday lending. For-profit colleges ramped up their lobbying efforts in 2010, after the Obama administration indicated it would crack down on abuses by some institutions. And the payday lending industry has been increasingly politically active.
Anti-Castro PACs Dole Out Campaign Cash, Mitt Romney Earns a Utah Endorsement and More in Capital Eye Opener: July 6
July 6, 2011 | Today, congressional representatives are typically more wary about publicly supporting of Castro, and an active anti-Castro lobby has been financially generous to opponents of the Cuban communist leader. During the 2010 cycle, anti-Castro political action committees donated more than $3 million to congressional campaigns across the country, with a roughly two-to-one ratio of contributions to Democrats over Republicans.
Bipartisan Bill to Price Carbon Faces Long Odds — and Many Lobbyists — Despite BP Oil Spill
August 27, 2010 | Glaciers are melting faster than the U.S. Senate is taking action to limit greenhouse gas emissions and curb global warming. And it's clear that a significant share of this dearth of movement is because of the clout of powerful special interest groups. Even a basic, bipartisan carbon emissions measure hasn't escaped from the treacherous terrain.
Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is On
October 16, 2009 | An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
Sallie Mae Finds Friends As Major Student Loan Bill Moves Through Congress
September 23, 2009 | Although Sallie Mae didn't get the result it wanted out of the House last week, the lawmakers who sided with Sallie Mae by voting against a bill to create a direct federal loan program have collected more money, on average, from the company than those who supported the bill.
Capital Eye Report: Direct or Indirect Loans? Either Way, It's Win-Win Deal for Major Political Contributor Sallie Mae
July 23, 2009 | With deficit worries gripping Washington, lawmakers including House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller (D-Calif.) and Rep. Thomas Petri (R-Wis.) have proposed cutting taxpayer subsidies to private institutions that issue student loans. But groups such as Sallie Mae are spending big money in opposition to such proposals.
Committee Members Speak Out–Or Stay Mum–On Health Care
July 9, 2009 | Over the past three weeks, Capital Eye has contacted members of five Capitol Hill committees responsible for drafting health care reform legislation this summer. Here are their responses (and non-responses) and the money they're collecting from various industries.
Defense Contractor Charged With Kickbacks Helped Fund Murtha's Campaigns
July 7, 2009 | Richard Ianieri, the defense contractor charged today with accepting $200,000 in kickbacks from a subcontractor, was the president of a company that gave more money to Rep. John Murtha (D-Penn.) than any other lawmaker--including the years after Ianieri left Coherent Systems International and Argon ST bought it.

Pediatricians stress value of recess for schoolchildren
Schools across country shorten, eliminate recess
MADISON, Wis. - As more schools across the country shorten or eliminate recess, American pediatricians are weighing in on the benefits of recess for schoolchildren.
Three states, Delaware, Virginia, and Nebraska, require elementary schools to hold daily recess.
But now, the country's top pediatricians are arguing that it's important for more children to get recess during the school day.
Laurel Pierick, who teaches first grade at Our Redeemer Lutheran School, said she sees the benefits of recess for her students.
"They have a lot of energy, and it helps them to focus when they get back into the room," Pierick said. "So they really need to get out here and move around."
The students at Our Redeemer Lutheran School enjoy three recess times, totaling 60 minutes of the school day.
"You get all your energy out during recess so you feel a lot better in class," said Payton, a fourth-grader at the school.
The American Academy of Pediatrics released a new policy statement calling recess "a crucial and necessary component of a child's development," which should not be withheld for punitive or academic reasons.
Exercise physiologists at St. Mary's Hospital said children need recess now more than ever.18043874
"I think if you take away that recess, that's all the exercise activity they're going to get." said Sara Burie, exercise physiologist for St. Mary's. "Especially with all this technology, kids just don't move anymore."
Numbers from the National Center for Education Statistics show nearly three-quarters of U.S. elementary schools hold less than 30 minutes of recess, and about 10 percent have no scheduled recess.

Haldane to speak on 'Recognizing Humanity'
Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 4:30 p.m. · 219 Burr Hall
Posted April 25, 2008; 12:19 p.m.
"The Need and Implications of Recognizing Humanity" is the title of a lecture to be presented at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, in 219 Burr Hall.
John Haldane, professor of philosophy and director of the Centre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs at the University of St. Andrews, will deliver the address, which is sponsored by the Department of Philosophy and the Witherspoon Institute.
He will discuss how mainstream political philosophers need to consider the topic of the fragility of human life more centrally in their work. Drawing upon Martha Nussbaum's "Hiding From Humanity" and other recent books, Haldane will focus on areas such as disabilities, mental disorders and "ending life" issues.

This web site consists of various topics in sport and performance, some of which are excerpts from my book. They include:
If there are additional topics you would like to see on these pages, please contact me at the address below. I would be happy to consider them.
Mental skills training is for anyone who wants to improve their performance, in any arena.
Giving athletes tools they can apply day in and day out, on and off the playing field, is what brings me the most satisfaction. It is my passion. I am lucky to have found my passion! I want others to be able to do the same and feel the same satisfaction.
I approached writing my book the same way I ask athletes to approach their sport. Start with a dream: something that you want to make a reality. Uncover your mission or creed that will keep you going. Set long-term, short-term and daily goals to get you there. Then implement performance-enhancement techniques to help with the journey, such as relaxation, imagery, concentration and positive self-talk.
I feel the process of writing my book improved my abilities as a Mental Training Consultant tremendously. It has been a while since I was a competing as an athlete, but this book venture conjured up all the same feelings (and distractions) that come with wanting to achieve peak performance in any endeavor...and the same fulfillment on the day the book was completed. Here are some comments by reviewers:
"I highly recommend this book to those who wish a sound foundation in the mental side of sports. It should appear in the library of every coach and athlete who is invested in enhancing the mental skills that contribute to effective performance." (Bruce C. Ogilvie, Ph.D., Pioneer in the area of Sport Psychology, Professor Emeritus, Psychology, San Jose State University)
"Karlene's book provides 'good medicine' for players and coaches who are troubled in increasing complexities of the 'game within the game' of modern sports. This book is also a helpful tool for the everyday person who may be plagued with problems of stress and motivation as he seeks to win at the game of life. And that game can only be won one way: The mental way." (Dr. Jamie Williams, 12-year veteran of the NFL)
"A great tool for all athletes." (Edward J. DeBartolo, Jr., Owner, San Francisco 49ers.)
"A MUST read for athletes, coaches and instructors dedicated and motivated to achieving their ultimate goal: SUCCESS!!!" (Bob Quinn, Ex-General Manager, NY Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, SF Giants)
"Karlene's book will teach you how to bust out of emotional slumps, build team cohesion and manage pressure situations successfully. This will enable everyone to enjoy the process of training and competition more!" (Sue Enquist, Head Softball Coach, UCLA)
"This book is a MUST READ for anyone interested in obtaining peak performance. The methods and techniques taught by Karlene Sugarman are major league!!" (Rich Hill, Head Baseball Coach, University of San Diego)
Here is a link to its page at the Barnes and Noble web site.
Remember patience is a virtue! Good Luck!!
Karlene is a Mental Training Consultant in California and works with athletes and teams teaching mental training techniques and team building strategies. She works with athletes and teams in all sports and levels. She has worked with the University of San Diego baseball team since 2000. Karlene is the author of the book, Winning the Mental Way: A practical guide to team building and mental training. She is a Professor in the Sport Psychology Program at John F. Kennedy University. She is a member of the Association of Applied Sport Psychology (AASP), and co-presented at the 2009 conference in Salt Lake City, UT; and the 2011 conference in Honolulu, HI.

Darth Instigator
We were driving home from the Bronx today and the kids were watching The Empire Strikes Back in the minivan and my wife and I noticed yet another discrepancy, possibly. When Luke is leaving Degobah and Yoda and Obi-Wan are trying to convince him not to, Obi-Wan mentions how he doesn't want to lose him to the Dark Side like he lost his father and then Yoda says something to the effect that there is another. Referring to Leia probably, but wasn't Obi-Wan in the room with Padme when she gave birth and where they divied up the kids? Wouldn't he have known there was another?

Aww... It's a cute baby dragon. It has long toes, and likes to wander around on lily pads.
And look! Its toes have grown longer and developed webbing! It must be close to maturing.
Young dragons are relatively defenseless. Their scales don't grow in until right before they mature, and they have almost no strength. Once a hatchling's wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are usually left alone by their mother and begin to hunt and survive on their own.

And this is what you Obama fools are intending to vote for again? You are indeed the definition of unbelievable.
When I received this email, I could not believe it... So, I checked with Snopes... I learned that it is TRUE:http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/funeral.asp
There has been a change in U.S. Military burial protocol! This is a letter that my good friend's husband wrote today after his uncle's funeral yesterday. If Obama does not want his name associated with our military, he does not deserve to be "The President of the United States ". - Alice Frankovitch REMEMBER THIS on NOVEMBER 6, 2012
Dear Sean, Today I was incensed at the conclusion of a traditional Serbian-Orthodox funeral for my beloved 85-year-old uncle, Daniel Martich, who proudly served in the US Army during the Korean conflict. During the committal service at a Pittsburgh cemetery the local military detachment performed their ritual, then folded and presented the American Flag to my aunt. As I'm sure you have witnessed during military funerals, a soldier bends to one knee and recites a scripted message to a surviving relative that begins 'On behalf of the President of the United States and a grateful nation, I wish to present you with this flag in appreciation for your husband's service ..' However, today the dialogue was 'On behalf of the Secretary of Defense and a grateful nation...'
After the service, I approached the soldier who presented the flag to my aunt to inquire about the change in language. His response was: "The White House notified all military funeral service detachments to immediately remove 'the President' and insert 'the Secretary of Defense'. I couldn't believe what I heard!
The soldier just smiled and said, "You can draw your own conclusion, Sir, but that was the order". He, too, was ashamed of what he was required to say.
Obama has taken off the gloves. My only response to this endless cesspool of anti-American rhetoric dripping from his mouth is to borrow a phrase "with one minor change" uttered by another temporary Washington resident living in government housing (his wife!): "Today for the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of the current U.S. President!" I did not serve in the military but my love of country parallels that of people like my late uncle who bled red, white and blue.
As a second generation Serbian-American who's heritage produced many patriotic military men and women who fought for freedom both in the United States as well as in the former Yugoslavia (most recently in Kosovo against the slaughter of Serbs by Muslim extremists), I implore you to make the American people aware of this little-known or, at least publicly acknowledged fact. May God Bless you and your family during these difficult times. Your voice of reason is a welcome change from the insanity plastered across the country by the liberal media. Keep up the great work and thank you for your service to our country.
Sincerely, John G. Martich Weirton, WV (304) 374-3518
(304) 723-5414
Here's Another
Something you'll want to be aware of: Obama stops soldier from speaking.....Sent by Retired Vice Admiral Bob Scarborough, of Arlington , Va. "I wanted to give you all some disturbing information on our wonderful president. I work with the Catch-A-Dream Foundation, which provides hunting and fishing trips to children with life-threatening illnesses. This past weekend we had our annual banquet/fundraiser event in Starkville . ..
As a part of our program, we had scheduled Sgt. 1st Class Greg Stube to come; he's a highly decorated U.S. Army Green Beret and inspirational speaker who was severely injured while deployed overseas and didn't have much of a chance for survival. Greg is stationed at Ft. Bragg , NC and received permission from his commanding officer to come speak at our function.
Everything was on go until Obama made policy that NO U.S. SERVICEMAN CAN SPEAK AT A FAITH-BASED PUBLIC EVENTS ANYMORE.
Needless to say, Greg had to cancel his speaking event with us. Didn't know if anyone else was aware of this new policy. You're just starting to see the Obamanation. This is just how the Nazis did it in the 1930s - slowly, one step at a time.
Remember you have been warned take it serious...

Happy new decade of this new millennium to galaxy hikers everywhere!
Happy new decade of this new millennium to galaxy hikers everywhere!
It is now possible to get some feedback about data just by moving the mouse over the chart to an appropriate point.
So louie, I'm sure you know the case of INSLAW .
What become of PROMIS (prosecutor management information system) after IBM rescued it from the bankruptcy court?
This year I needed to do a project in a language that is both old and notable but still understood as unusual and exotic: Eiffel. I did not know Eiffel in the past and needed to learn it very quickly to do my task. Hence this article is not about Eiffel itself, it ist about a newcomers impression about Eiffel. I will be writing about the "classic" Eiffel with EiffelStudio, not about SmartEiffel and other interesting clones that surely also deserve a lot of attention.
This is the first of a series of essays I will publish here and elsewhere, in an effort to solve what I regard as some fundamental problems that are endemic to the computer industry.
I have felt called to my Duty several times in my career. I have never regretted performing it, but doing so has been a heavy burden, as it always came at great cost. This is one of those times - I will explain in the next essay I publish just why.
November 1, 2005
My father Charless Russell Crawford was an engineer too, an electrical engineer. Once a carpenter, he was inspired to enlist in the Navy one snowy evening while roofing a house, when he struck his thumb real hard with a hammer. The Navy sensed my father's potential for leadership and sent him to study at the University of Idaho, where he met my mother Patricia Ann Speelmon. My sister was born while they were still students. After graduation, he went on to Officer Candidate School and was given his commission. The telegram with news of my birth took two weeks to reach him: he was deep in the Phillipine jungle getting trained in survival, as the Vietnam War was just then heating up: the year was 1964. My father's engineering specialty was antiaircraft missile electronics: guidance and control systems.
The lesson my father taught me, a lesson I only now, as I speak, realize for the first time I was ever taught, is to Do My Duty. You already know my father did his for his country. I want you to know that he did his duty to his family as a husband, father and provider, and he did it well. He did his duty as a teacher too: I learned science and engineering at my father's knee, as we worked on projects together. Once we had a contest to see who could make a working telephone from stuff found lying around the house.
Engineers have other Masters who demand duty of us: our profession, our conscience, those who invest in, purchase or use what we design, our coworkers, and the public.
Listen to me carefully, and never forget what I'm about to say. I want all of you to spend some time thinking it over deeply, then I want you to discuss it among yourselves:
The Internet is a tool to connect people, to empower them to share information and knowledge. Through increased communication, one person's contribution becomes everyone's gain. Through the power of collaboration, many minds can achieve what one person alone could not. It sounds like either a recipe for a Utopia or for a nightmare, which starkly reminds us that with great power comes great responsibility. And it's our right to be given the choice, to take advantage of the opportunity that the Internet represents. But there is something happening to the "InterWeb": the tracks are being ripped up. Mandelson in the UK. "3 Strikes" in France. Fascist Censorship in Australia. Phorm. Net Neutrality. The Pirate Bay attacks. The RIAA. The DMCA. There's a recurring and accelerating theme of attacks, which have accelerated over the past ten years, to attempt to control what can and cannot be done with the Internet, that is beginning to blur with Science Fiction predictions from well-renowed authors. The question is: why? What's the driving force, and what motivates these attacks, when, mathematically and statistically, they are simply impossible, leaving an alienated populace feeling threatened by and distrusting their Governments, just like in China, Iran and other "Regimes" which we believe that we are "better than"?
In relation to the Wikipedia applet proposal, I am currently moving through the web in the hopeless search of some FOSS project that would show at least weak interest in scanning of Java source code for bad intents. One of the huge advantages Wikipedia or other public server could provide is that we have the applet sources and can compile on a server side. Among other things this allows to strip the signature easily, maybe we could do more.
Eric Raymond's software bazaar is a fantasy.
The look into Tiobe index may give quite a surprising results if we pay attention into that is happening during the latest year. Java seems no longer declining, Python and C# are also kind of stable but we clearly observe the growth of C language popularity. It is even not C++ but a plain C.
I wonder it this is just some transient event or the reliable shift.
Want to find more technical conferences? Here's my hotlist.
Wikipedia recently posted a call for strategic proposals, and one subset of them looks quite interesting for me - it is a bunch of proposals to support some kind of the client side scripting. They have a choice between JavaScript, Flash, Java and Silverlight. After all that at the end happened with FOSS Java implementation, Java applets seem an interesting option so let's propose.
To be heard by needed people, this proposal have been uploaded to Wikipedia Strategic Projects space so it can also be viewed there. It is up to you where to make the comments.
There's a new article on my homepage titled "FOSS Licences Wars", which explains about the legal aspects, features and differences between various open-source licences and their categories, and then gives some recommendations for which licences to avoid using.
Good command line tools are more important than ever and not just a relict of ancient times in comparison to RIA or GUI applications. Experienced system administrators appreciate their power in sophisticated shell scripts and could probably not manage their environments without them. The question is how can we make command line tools smarter and more powerful than today? This article discusses some ideas and potential implementations always keeping in mind "Do not reinvent the wheel" and "keep it simple".
XULrunner, the technology behind projects such as Firefox, is both powerful and obscure. Even getting started with XULrunner is tricky, and even more so from dynamic languages such as python. pyxpcomext addresses these issues, and does so from the perspective where the developer creates a "bundle" which is registered with XULrunner. XULrunner is then started by the user, and the user opens a magic URL which triggers loading of the pyxpcomext-based application.
Thanks to the OLPC Sugar team, there is now another way, starting from the python prompt. "import hulahop" is where it begins. This article will show and explain the voodoo magic incantations necessary to bring up a window where you can begin to gain access to the DOM model of the XULrunner technology. In this way, you can begin to use technology which was designed for web browsers but has become something much much more powerful than originally intended by its designers.
Barelfish. Have anybody heard such a beast?
Not somewhere behind the steel walls - in the academic silence of ETH university Microsoft is building the next generation of its operating system. Maybe this single department is not the only place where it is trying – I am more toward thinking this is happening it at least ten places worldwide.
Those of us in the free/libre and open source software (FLOSS) community know the routine by now. Despite the fact that "free software" and "open source" refer to the same software and the same communities, supporters of "free software" like the FSF would have us advocate for FLOSS by talking about users' rights to use, modify, share, and cooperate; open source supporters like the Open Source Initiative would have us advocate for software by talking about how securing these rights produces software with "better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility [and] lower cost."
One reason I tend to stay away from "open source" claims in my own advocacy is that I'm worried by the way that these arguments rely on a set of often dubious empirical claims of superiority. Free software, on the other hand, can be seen as statement of principles. Regardless of whether we say "free software" or "open source," I've found that a focus on principled statements is both more robust against counter-arguments and does a better job of describing the motivations of most contributors.
Abstract: Because AI technology is so life-or-death valuable, not only for corporations but also for nations and for civilization itself, we must assume that the most advanced AI projects are being conducted in secret. In such an environment of presumed secrecy, an OpenSource AI project like MindForth may have special value in contrast with proprietary and secret AI.

Carla - so sorry I missed this. Got caught up in life and wasn't home in time.

Looks like the Serenity collection has been taken out of the boutique.

Well, that's a bummer! It is an older collection, but still has great colors for heritage layouts. Maybe Keri is making room for something new?

Other reasons to quit smokeless tobacco
Besides health reasons, here a few more to consider:
Social acceptance
Tobacco use is less socially acceptable now than ever. Chewing and dipping can carry a heavy social price, especially when dating. Bad breath, gum disease, and stained teeth are very unappealing. The spitting you have to do with most smokeless tobacco is not pretty, either.
Some employers ban all types of tobacco on their premises. Others won't hire people who use any form of tobacco.
A tobacco habit can cost a lot of money. It isn't hard to figure out how much you spend on tobacco: Multiply how much money you spend on tobacco every day by 365 (days a year). The amount might surprise you. Now multiply that by the number of years you have been using tobacco and the total will probably shock you.
Multiply the cost per year by 10 (for the next 10 years) and ask yourself what you would rather do with that much money.
And this doesn't include other possible costs, such higher health care and life insurance costs and time away from work due to tobacco-related problems.
Setting an example
If you have children in your life, you probably want to set a good example for them. When asked, nearly all smokeless tobacco users say they don't want their children to chew or dip. You can become a better role model for them if you quit now.
Being a slave to the can or pouch
After long use, many smokeless users start to feel like their lives are being taken over by the can or the pouch. They don't feel free to live as they'd like because of their tobacco habit. They clearly see how it limits them and causes problems in their lives.

11 pedestrians killed since January 1
KINGSTON, Jamaica- The Road Safety Unit (RSU) has reported that 11 people have been killed in traffic crashes since the start of the year.
This represents a reduction of thirty-one per cent when compared to the similar period in 2012. The RSU reported that forty per cent of the road users killed were pedestrians and 75 per cent of the collisions occurred at night.
As a result the RSU is appealing to pedestrians to ensure that they wear light coloured clothing at night in order to ensure that they are visible to motorists. Drivers are also urged to look out for pedestrians especially at nights.

The scene in ESB where Vader starts throwing things at Luke would be accompanied by fart sounds. You can see him gathering his strength to let one rip.

The stand-alone Washington estate tax took effect May 17, 2005. The estate tax incorporates some provisions of the Internal Revenue Code as it existed on January 1, 2005. The Washington estate tax was not affected by the repeal of the federal estate tax in 2010, the portability election of 2011 or other federal code changes after January 1, 2005.
For deaths May 17, 2005 through December 31, 2013, the executor must file a Washington estate tax return if the decedent owned property in Washington State and the gross estate exceeds the thresholds listed below, even if no tax is due.
Filing Threshold
(Gross estate)
Note: If an estate is required to file a federal return, then it is required to file a Washington estate tax return.
To pay the estate tax, file one of the following returns:
Nine months after the date of death.
When you are applying for your federal extension, send us a copy of the Federal Form 4768 at the time of filing. If you are not filing a Federal Form 706, submit the Application for Extension of Time to File a Washington State Estate and Transfer Tax Return. (Fill-In or Print) If an estate tax payment may be due, include the estimated Washington tax payment with the extension request. Payment received after the due date will accrue interest.
The tax is calculated using the Washington taxable estate and Table W. The "Washington taxable estate" means the gross estate less:
Extensions, payments and estate tax returns are mailed to:

You'll be counting sweet little lambs instead of sheep once you try this delicious dinner!
Grate the lemon peel before squeezing the lemon for juice, being careful to grate only the yellow part of the peel because the white pith is very bitter. To get the most juice from a lemon, roll it on a counter while pushing down firmly to break the tissues inside, which will release the juice. Or heat the lemon in the microwave for a minute, which also helps to release the juice.
For a Dijon-flavored beef dish, use the same amount of beef stew meat instead of lamb.
Gremolata, which is served with Italian braised veal shanks, would also be yummy sprinkled over this lamb dish. Just mix 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, a finely chopped clove of garlic and 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel. Sprinkle it over each serving of lamb.

News Releases
/ Missouri River Floodplain Farmers in Five States Eligible for Wetland Restorati
Loading Tree...
Iowa landowners affected by 2011 Missouri River flooding may be eligible for wetland restoration assistance from the Wetlands Reserve Enhancement Program (WREP) through a five-state project sponsored by The Nature Conservancy, said Richard Sims, state conservationist with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Des Moines, Iowa. Deadline to apply for this assistance is May 4.
Farmers in Plymouth, Woodbury, Monona, Harrison, Pottawattamie, Mills and Fremont counties with areas flooded during the 2011 Missouri River flood and eligible land within 1,000 meters of the Missouri River may apply to restore wetlands on their land through permanent easements. A map of eligible areas is available at www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov.
"Much of the farmland along the Missouri River was damaged by scouring and sand deposition," said Sims. "This WREP provides economic options for flood-impacted agricultural landowners. The resulting wetlands will also offset societal costs of future floods while providing valuable water quality and wildlife habitat benefits."
Nearly $3 million is available for easements and restoration costs to producers in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South Dakota, said Sims. The Nature Conservancy is providing a five percent cash match for restoration costs on permanent easement and key restoration practices.
"We are pleased to partner with NRCS in this new program and hope it represents part of a proactive approach that landowners and communities along the river can take to help reduce the impacts of future flooding along the Missouri River," said Jan Glendening, director of The Nature Conservancy in Iowa.
Applications for this WREP project will be ranked based on size of proposed easement, proximity to the river, proximity to conservation land areas greater than 300 acres, percentage of hydric soils, percent damage and whether the easement area is located where a planned levee breach or levee setback will occur. Easement costs will be based on current, post-flood conditions.
WREP is a voluntary program carried out through partnership agreements with state and local governments, non-governmental organizations and Indian tribes. It is a component of the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP). Landowners participating in WREP retain ownership and access to the land, and may be able to generate income from grazing, haying or recreation approved by NRCS.
Landowners may apply at their local NRCS office (find your nearest NRCS Service Center).

THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LEVIN COLLEGE OF LAW Black Law Students Association — AKA the W. George Allen chapter — was recognized as the national chapter of the year at the annual National Black Law Students Association Convention in Atlanta. "This award shows yet again that UF is among the top law schools in the country, and that UF's excellence is consistent in many areas," said BLSA President Brandon Campbell, second from the right. At the convention, Campbell highlighted all of the community service outreach that BLSA spearheaded, including the state of the Black Law Student town hall meeting; diversity initiatives with pre-law students across the country; the 50-year anniversary celebration of W. George Allen, UF Law's first black graduate and UF BLSA's namesake; and a professionalism week program. "The leadership of our UF Law BLSA chapter has been superb these past years, so the chapter being recognized as the national chapter of the year is a well-deserved and exciting honor," said UF Law Dean Robert Jerry.

Gather around the warmth of a winter's fondue pot and enjoy this hearty dish, complete with pigs in blankets made with Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls.
"Since our big holiday meal is on Christmas Day, the tradition in my husband's family for the past 40 years has been to enjoy a simple, warming cheese fondue on Christmas Eve. The fondue simmers long enough to evaporate the alcohol in the stout, but you can substitute a non-alcoholic beer if you'd like. We always have Pigs in a Blanket to dip in the fondue, and other accompaniments that go great are: cubed crusty bread, baby carrots, chunks of celery, large cocktail shrimp, chunks of Granny Smith apples and barely-steamed broccoli florets (feel free to add these to your table, too.)" - Jaden Hair
The most important step in making fondue is to toss the flour with the grated cheese. This helps the flour incorporate and thicken smoothly. If you just dump the flour in by itself, you'll end up with a clumpy mess.
Leftover fondue can be stored in the refrigerator....we bring it out on Christmas Day and serve as a chilled, flavorful cracker spread.

Beth Houlbrooke: Husband was on phone to IRD in Chch when quake hit. The guy he was talking to just went "WHOAHH!" and then dropped the phone. He heard women screaming in the background, then phone went dead.
Therese Berg: I live in Rangiora, grabbed the kids in hysteria and run out side on the foothpath were I collapse and thankfully my lovely neighbours were home to support my nervous breakdown.
Shirley Wan: I am in Dunedin. When the earthquake struck i was on the 8th floor of our building and it swayed heavily for atleast 10 sec.
At that point I knew Christchurch must have been hit hard.
Jan Basill: At 12.50 I was standing in my kitchen in Carters Beach near Westport when the oven started shaking, and the ground starting swaying. More stronger than the last. I ran and stood under the doorframe
Andy Nordqvist: I was helping to refurbish the Ashburton Clock Tower, 22 metres up when the first earthquake struck. We got down pretty fast.
Jeff Allen: I was on the phone to State Insurance making a claim!!! and the girl on the line started stuttering then i heard people screaming and loud smashing sounds she scremed out this is the biggest yet it went on for some time with alot of screaming and crashing she apologised and said that she had to go.
Melissa Chilton: My workmate and I work on the 4th floor at SBS Bank Head Office. We noticed the quake start shortly before one with the building creaking audibly a few times, while the pot plants and ferns all shook and swayed and the office door wobbled back and forth a little. It went on for about a minute and I thought hell - that's a biggy in Fiordland! Then the alert came online that it was in fact Christchurch. I knew this one was serious to feel it this strongly in Invercargill. My heart and wishes go out to everyone and those who have suffered serious loss of a family member or friend. Dear lord when will it stop?!
Jennifer Eder: I was in a lecture theatre building at canterbury university when the first quake hit, class had just been let out and the foyer was full of students, and the whole building shook, students were slipping down the stairs, ceiling panels were falling from the two-story high ceiling, and one guy was holding the door open very calmly while screaming students rushed outside - I remember being very impressed by him. Fire alarms were going off in a computer science building as well as in another one on the other side of the uni. students were shepherded to the ilam fields but many students milled around the bus stops until we realised buses were no longer running. the second aftershock hit while i was outside and i saw one parked car rolling between the two cars on either side. Students everywhere were bursting into tears and hugging each other, traffic was back to back and i overheard one international student exclaim that they were heading home.

|Law Firm Financial Management for the Non-Financial Professional
Law Firm Financial Management for the Non-Financial Professional. This 2-hour introductory-level program helps lawyers, law firm support staff, and non-financial law firm managers raise their awareness of law firm economics and financial management. Law schools and paralegal schools do not teach financial management skills. Consequently, many lawyers and paralegals lack the financial management skills to prepare and manage case budgets, and to understand and analyze clients' financial information. Lawyers establishing a new law practice need to understand financial reports to manage firm finances and daily operations. As lawyers strive to balance firm management with active caseloads, there is a greater need to understand financial information, particularly the balance sheet, profit and loss statement, owner's equity statement, and cash flow statement. Decisions made without properly understanding the underlying financial implications may lead to reduced earnings (or even losses), layoffs, dissolutions, and improper client intake procedures. CLE Credits: 2 hours General credit. (Course No. 1266R)

ORIGINAL: Fan Club
I'm sure it could be adapted, you would either have to install a row of snaps on your vest or switch to something like a velcro system. Either way it needs to be adjustable.
The problem I see is how to attain just the strap. They're only available with the Hunter Specialties S.U.V. (Sport Utility Vest) that I'm aware of. H.S doesn't market them as a separate accessory.
Now that you have the idea, I'm sure you could fabricate one. Be sure it has a rubberized inside surface to grip your gun stock.
