Another Lottery Winner in Toccoa
Toccoa sees its second large lottery winner in a matter of weeks.
The Georgia Lottery said that 66-year-old Patricia Jackson has won a $400,000 top prize on the "$400,000 Bonanza" instant game.
She claimed her prize recently at the Georgia Lottery District Office in Duluth.
Jackson purchased the winning ticket at a South Big A Road convenience store.
An employee at an agency for the elderly, Jackson says in a press release from the Georgia Lottery that she anticipates paying off her home mortgage and remodeling her home with the winnings.
It was just earlier this month when the Georgia Lottery announced that 24-year-old Brandon Leverette of Toccoa had won a $1 million top prize after purchasing an instant game ticket at a convenience store in Lula.
All Georgia Lottery profits go to pay for specific educational programs, including the state's HOPE Scholarship program and Pre-K program.
The Lottery said that since its first year, it has returned more than $14.6 billion to the state of Georgia for education, adding that more than 1.6 million students have received HOPE, and more than 1.2 million 4-year-olds have attended the statewide, voluntary pre-kindergarten program.

Location: Spring Grove Funeral Homes
The Civil War took place from April 15, 1861 to August 20, 1866. Keep in mind that Spring Grove was founded almost 20 years BEFORE the Civil War started. The reason that there are so many soldiers buried in SG is because of the many Civil War hospitals in this area. Most soldiers died from wounds or disease and were eventually buried here. A lot of the bodies were buried at Camp Dennison, on the east side of town. About 40 bodies were reinterred outside of SG. There are 40 Union Civil War generals and 1 Confederate General buried in SG.

Organisational barriers and facilitators to the effective operation of Random Breath Testing (RBT) in Queensland
Hart, Susan (2004) Organisational barriers and facilitators to the effective operation of Random Breath Testing (RBT) in Queensland. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.
|Susan Hart Thesis (PDF 2MB)
Random breath testing (RBT) is one of the most successful drink driving countermeasures employed by police in Australia. Its success over the years has been evidenced by reductions in drink driving behaviour, reductions in alcohol-related crashes and fatal crashes and a corresponding community-wide increase in the disapproval of drink driving. Although a great deal of research has been able to highlight the relationship between increased police enforcement and road safety benefits, little is known about the organisational factors that assist or hinder the management and operation of RBT. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the perceived barriers and facilitators to the effective operation of RBT in the Queensland Police Service (QPS). Findings will have human resource implications for the QPS and will highlight areas that are currently functioning effectively.-----
Study One involved 22 semi-structured interviews with 36 QPS managers involved in the day-to-day organisation and delivery of RBT operations. Managers were recruited with assistance from members of the QPS's State Traffic Support Branch. The interviews were approximately one hour long and involved exploration of the perceptions of managers involved in the planning and delivery of RBT operations using the concept of organisational alignment to structure the interviews. The results revealed that RBT management activity is facilitated by a range of factors, including: the belief in the importance of RBT; belief that the purpose of RBT has both a deterrent function and a detection function; the increasing use of intelligence to guide RBT strategies; the increasing use of RBT to support other crime reduction strategies; and a genuine desire to improve the current state of affairs. However, a number of apparent barriers to the effective operation of RBT were identified. These included concern about the strategy of the 1.1 testing strategy (i.e. conducting the equivalent of one test per licensed driver per annum), a misunderstanding of the role of general and specific deterrence and a lack of feedback in relation to the success of RBT.-----
The second study involved a questionnaire that was distributed to a random sample of 950 operational police stratified across the regions who are responsible for undertaking RBT on a regular basis. There were 421 questionnaires returned representing a response rate of 44%. Questionnaires were also based on the concepts and constructs of organisational alignment and explored perceptions, beliefs and self- reported behaviour of officers. The results revealed that facilitating factors included a belief in QPS ownership of the RBT program, the agreement that the RBT vision includes road safety goals and apprehension goals, and overall motivation, support and belief in their capability to carry out RBT duties. Barriers included perceived strain related to the 1:1 testing strategy, the lack of feedback in relation to the success of RBT, misunderstanding about the role of deterrence and lack of rewards for participating in RBT duties.-----
The results of both studies have implications for the planning and operation of RBT in the QPS. While the findings revealed that there were many aspects of the RBT program that were currently aligned with best practice guidelines, there are areas of misalignment. In particular, the main areas of misalignment included concern about the strain caused by the current 1:1 testing strategy, a lack of feedback about the success of RBT and a lack of education of the nature and role of deterrence in road safety and RBT operations in particular.

I am way late on the royal Australian tour coverage. Like a month late. Oh sure, I keep abreast of what Kate is wearing because I think her style is very classy, but I am not what one would call a "royal watcher". But this white lace dress has been percolating in the back of my mind because I couldn't decide if I liked it or not. Let me take that back. I adore the dress on her, and I think it was perfect for the occasion, but a white dress? Not very practical.
However, as time has progressed, I have decided I really like this look. It is clean, classic, and timelessly modern. I mean look at it! I believe you could wear that dress for ten years and it would never be perceived as dated. That exact dress isn't available until June, and we all know it is going to seel out quickly. But I found a dozen other dresses that have a similar feel at all different price points. So if you are in the market for a classy white dress, here are your choices:
Of all the dresses in the round-up, I thought this one was the most similar. It is white, has lace, and has sleeves. Plus it has a modern timelessness about it. My only concern is the length. But I figure if it is mid thigh on the model, is will hit me around the knee. (HERE).
This dress was a close second. The reason I didn't pick it for number 1 is due to the fact it is a party dress. I think Kate's dress can be dressed up or down, but this one would only be appropriate in a celebratory setting. (HERE)
I love this dress because it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, but because it doesn't have sleeves, it couldn't be number one or two. With that said, this might be my favorite of all the dresses. (HERE)
Think curvy girls can't wear white? Think again! This one has a lovely fit and flair shape, plus it hits just above the waist which can be slimming on many figures. (HERE)
At $37, this is by far the least expense of all of the choices. I bought a similar dress last year and loved it but unfortunately it got a stain, which is my biggest issue with the white- so hard to keep clean! (HERE)
Here is another pretty choice. I love a shirtdress, and I have this cut in pink and in a cream and blue pattern. It is lovely in all white. (HERE)
A simple white eyelet dress. Perfect for any wardrobe. (HERE)
If you feel like you really must have Kate's dress, here is a very similar one by the same designer. I quite like it because the plunging neckline has a bit of va-va-voom. (HERE)
So what do you think about white dresses? Do you have one hanging in your closet? Are you thinking of adding one to your wardrobe this year?

A Japanese worker engaged in an official development assistance project in the Kenyan port city of Mombasa has been shot dead during an armed robbery, sources including Japan's Foreign Ministry said Tuesday.
The victim, Satoru Ogawa, 51, was shot around 11 a.m. Monday local time and died from loss of blood. He was employed by a partner company of Toyo Construction Co. .
According to Toyo Construction, Ogawa was shot near the entrance to a local construction site after taking out money from a bank.
Toyo Construction won an ODA project financed by the Japanese government to build a second container terminal at Mombasa port.
Japan signed an accord on ODA with Kenya in November 2007.

Chennai, Nov 7(ANI): The ban to play cricket at Chennai's Marina beach has come as a big setback to ardent cricket lovers, who now have no alternate location to enjoy the game.
The ban followed a decision taken after a joint meeting of senior officials belonging to the State Government, police department and Chennai Corporation.
According to the police, youngsters who play cricket on the beach cause hindrance and disturbance to the walkers and the vehicles using the service road which was laid as a part of beach beautification programme.
However, Nagraj, a college student who visits the beach for playing cricket, said that he has ground to play near his house, and before banning the activity the Government has to find an answer to their problems.
"There is no playground near my house, so we come here to play cricket. But the police has put a ban on playing cricket on the beach and now we don't have a playground to play on. Now, the Government has to find a solution to this problem," said Nagaraj, a college student.
The parents are also agitated over the ban, as they feel that playing cricket helps the children to focus on their lives.
"We are condemning the ban implemented by the Government on playing cricket on Marina beach because playing is the only way of deviating the youngsters of choosing a wrong path in life. Playing is health for them, which would encourage them to get good education," said Masilamani, a parent.
Meanwhile, the State Government has decided to make alternative provisions for the cricket enthusiasts by opening some playgrounds, which includes May Day Park, Gopalapuram, Turnbulls road, Nandanam Extension, Mandaveli South Cooum road, Thiru.Vi.Ka Nagar and the Pattinappakam housing board playground.

Appeals Court Hears FDNY Discrimination Case
A city lawyer told a federal appeals panel Tuesday that a judge who called New York City's Fire Department "a stubborn bastion of white male privilege" went way beyond his authority by effectively taking over the department's hiring process.
In a courtroom packed with several hundred spectators, city attorney Deborah Brenner urged the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in Manhattan to return the case to a different judge in Brooklyn federal court for a trial. The court was unlikely to rule for several months.
Her arguments were countered by Richard A. Levy, a lawyer for the Vulcan Society, an organization representing black firefighters, and Lisa J. Stark, a Justice Department lawyer. Both agreed that Judge Nicholas Garaufis was within his authority last fall when he appointed an independent monitor to oversee the recruitment, testing and hiring of new firefighters for at least 10 years.
Garaufis took the unusual step after concluding the city had failed to ensure that enough blacks and minorities were hired. Fewer than 10 percent of the 11,200 uniformed firefighters in the city are black or Hispanic even though more than half of the city's 8 million residents identify with a racial minority group.
The judge had called the FDNY "a stubborn bastion of white male privilege" and wrote that the persistence of discrimination was a "shameful blight on the records of the six mayors of this city who failed to take responsibility for doing what was necessary to end it."
Brenner, though, said the judge ignored key evidence that should be studied at trial, including its efforts to improve hiring practices to boost the number of minority candidates.
She said the city was "very cognizant of this problem and was trying to do something about it."
Levy said the judge had staged an eight-day trial and viewed "voluminous evidence" before issuing an 82-page decision that found that city, state and federal laws against discrimination were repeatedly violated.
"Everybody knew it was a problem," he said of hiring practices that left the department with no more than 3 percent black representation among firefighters for the last four decades.
He wrote in court papers submitted to the appeals court that the city had refused to change its practices despite repeated complaints from many, including the Vulcan Society, the public advocate, the New York City Equal Employment Practices Commission, City Councilmembers, state and U.S. Congress representatives and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
"These entreaties have fallen on deaf ears," Levy said.
Brenner's arguments seemed at times to draw sympathy from Judge Jon Newman, who questioned the lawyers as to how the case could be returned to Garaufis for a full bench trial on the facts after he had spoken so strongly about his view of the facts in his written opinions.
Stark said reassignment of such a case should occur only in extraordinary instances. She described Garaufis as "fair, open-minded, unbiased and impartial throughout the proceeding."
She said Garaufis "not only had the authority but the duty" to enter an extensive remedy after he determined there was a pattern of discrimination. She said his rulings were supported by precedents in the federal appeals court in Manhattan and the Supreme Court.
Brenner said Garaufis had imposed "layer after layer after layer" of reviews on the Fire Department's hiring practices.
"Why? Because he's convinced the city is a bunch of intentional discriminators. He's convinced that the fire department is a bunch of intentional discriminators," she said.


text: 95 SLS: After replacing the tensioners (both sides), the serpentine belt and its idler, the alternator and the A/C compressor I still have a noise from the front end of the engine. This is not to say the other parts weren't bad. They were, especially the A/C compressor. Anyway, two candidates that I can think of--the power steering pump and the harmonic balancer. I don't think it's the psp (doesn't whine louder when turning), but how can I tell if it's the harmonic balancer? Does the balancer on the 4.6 have an internal clutch that goes out? What's the typical noise you get with beginning failure of the balancer? The noise I hear is like a gear whine and it fades away as you get up above 25mph (or is masked by road/wind noise). It's not very loud, but you can definitely hear it.

Barlow can't wait for the end of X Factor
Mark Kavanagh
9 December, 2011
The talent judge, seen here endorsing Marcus, says he didn't realise the strain the job brings when he signed up
I am looking forward to the weekend but I am also looking forward to Monday when it's all over
X Factor head judge
Gary Barlow
claims he's had a year of hell being on the talent show and can't wait for it to end.
It's left fans wondering if he will return in 2012. The Take That frontman joined the series this year as one of three new panellists.
But he now admits he never predicted the stress, the attacks, the demands, the upsets, the workload and the other judges' tantrums. Barlow (40) said: "I am looking forward to the weekend but I am also looking forward to Monday when it's all over. What shocked me was the constant bubble you're in when you're on this show.
"There have been nice weeks but there have been horrible weeks — but it's been hard work."Barlow's comments have helped fuel speculation that he may not be back when X Factor returns next year.
Close pals of the chart-topper — who'll be cheering for his big hope Marcus Collins tomorrow — say X Factor has put a strain on his personal home life. They claim his wife Dawn thinks he is "starting to look old" because of the pressure.
One source said: "Dawn is worried he will burn out if he doesn't rest when this is over."However, yesterday when asked at a press conference, judges Gary, Louis Walsh (59) and Tulisa Contostavlos (23) all said they would — with only Kelly Rowland (30) failing to respond.
And Gary's stress levels might go up a level when he hears that X Factor rebel Frankie Cocozza is planning to cause mayhem by gatecrashing the show's final tomorrow night.
The singer — booted off the show for boasting about taking cocaine — has pulled out of a party he was due to be hosting the same evening.Wildchild Frankie told club bosses he "needed" to withdraw from the bash, but didn't explain why. Now pals say it is because he plans to head to London's Wembley Arena and storm the stage.
He wants to mimic Pulp star Jarvis Cocker, who stormed the stage at the BRIT Awards in 1996 when the late Michael Jackson was singing Earth Song. Party-loving Frankie had arranged his own X Factor-themed bash at Cafe de Paris in London.
The X Factor Rehab Party was a cheeky reference to his cocaine-taking, but yesterday the event was suddenly cancelled, leading to wild speculation. A friend of Frankie said: "He's been cheekily texting his old mentor Gary asking for a ticket. If he doesn't get one that way, he'll find a way in."

NPR's 'Car Talk,' Auto Parts, And The Price Of Your Web Content Management Project
Posted by David Aponovich on October 5, 2012
- 740 Recommendations
- 4 comments
What's the correct ratio of web content management software license price to implementation cost?
Clients frequently ask us some variation of the ratio question. As they try to do more with digital, they realize this stuff gets complex and costly pretty quickly.
The answer to their ratio question is: It depends. I can't endorse a standard ratio of software to services because I don't believe one exists. For very modest projects, might you expect to spend two dollars on services for every one dollar in software? It's possible. But I've seen it more commonly grow to five-, six-, or ten-fold (occasionally more), as projects like these have long tentacles that reach beyond just software. The cost of software? That's table stakes. WCM vendors may whisper sweet nothings in your ear about how easy it is to implement; I say ask someone who's done it before with that product – and get them to be specific about 'what' was done as part of their project.
The more urgent question is whether you can keep your eye on the prize, focusing perceptions at your organization on the value of the total solution you're trying to create. Although WCM technology may occupy the spotlight and serve as an integral part of the total solution, there's usually a lot more to consider. The scope and cost estimate of your initiative may make executives' eyebrows pop up. But what really should make their eyes pop is fairly assessing the opportunity cost of not tackling the initiative in a way that reflects the importance of the digital channel to your business.
Too often, technology buyers and project leaders (especially in WCM) come to their projects with preconceived ideas around cost, complexity, and time. (There's a common refrain spoken by project managers trying to bring clients back down to Earth: "You can have this WCM project done fast, cheap, or well. But pick only two. You can't have all three.")
This is where the 'Car Talk' brothers (who dispense car advice during a weekly show on National Public Radio here in the States) enter the picture.
On last Saturday's show, a caller vented his frustration at the cost of a new part (a front crank seal, which was leaking oil) versus the labor/installation cost.
The part cost $4.10. The labor was $358.
"Why do people think there ought to be some correlation between the price of the part and the price of the labor?" one of the brothers (Tom or Ray, I still can't tell them apart) asked. "If it was the other way around, if the part had been ($358) and the labor had been $4.10, nobody would complain."
In WCM projects and in car repairs, the cost of "parts" (like software) don't have a neat correlation with "labor" (implementation) across the board. Like any business initiative and investment, there are value drivers that need to be weighed. And, some things are just more complex than others. Some things are within your powers to cost control: how deep is your redesign, how complex are the features you want to build with the WCM, how many systems do you integrate with your WCM? Do you have internal staff participating on the project team? How skilled are they in the technology?
Rarely have I seen a WCM project of any complexity deployed at or below the anticipated cost. Requirements and requests change, beginning at the first meeting. The upfront license cost is probably the only solid benchmark you can take to the bank. Labor rates and experience levels at implementation partners, such as interactive agencies and system integrators, vary widely, adding or subtracting value from the total solution cost. (What's it worth to you to get it done right the first time?) Service providers are loath to provide fixed-bid project pricing unless requirements are airtight (to which I might say: there's no such thing as airtight; priorities change and evolve in real time on these projects), or they scope it with more padding than a La-Z-Boy recliner.
Yet tech buyers often cling to cost expectations at the expense of what I say matters more: delivering a successful WCM solution to support stellar digital experiences that will differentiate the business – and fulfilling your strategic business need. In the delicate dance between budget and cost, you need to realize: at this point in time, in this competitive environment, you really don't have the luxury of failing to get WCM and digital (and mobile and social) done right.
I'll say it another way: Your digital presence is that 15-year-old leaky Subaru in bad need of a new crank seal. Pay for the part and the labor to solve the overall project, or else that car's not going anywhere at all.
Tell us below: Can you share your wisdom around cost and software versus service ratios for your WCM-centric project?
Even software price is relative...
Comment from Rick Cabral (not verified) on Tue, 10/09/2012 - 11:35
Couldn't agree more Dave.
Although many CMS vendors will expect you to spend 25% of your overall web redesign project on their software, they're expecting you to set that budget after you get a price from them. Enterprise-class software prices are always negotiable. Those extra zeros for the next price tier are not simply to unlock additional features or scale but also to capture consumer surplus. Much like buying USB cables, you'll get vastly different prices depending upon where you shop and whether the product is considered core, or merely a division of that vendor's offerings.
This long-driveway pricing complicates the process of quoting an implementation because the price does not reflect the labor involved, but almost certainly eats away at the client's budget. It's a tough nut to crack, but my recommendation is to always start by talking to the implementers rather than the software vendors.
WCM technology may occupy the

Now, the application of software and IT in the automobile industry is much more. The car and other vehicles are coming to the automobile market with various software applications. The "Car Talk" concept is much more closer to the social media and the mobile or Smartphone applications. Everything related to a car or any type of vehicle can be expressed or spread through the social media quite easily. Web Content Management is really a good project for such works. http://www.yelp.com/biz/hansa-motors-huntington-beach

It's official: You can stop taking The Daily Caller seriously
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Tucker Carlson's Daily Caller has spent the past week excoriating liberal journalists for purported ethical lapses like … um … not like Sarah Palin. Meanwhile, the Daily Caller has taken to running opinion pieces criticizing Democratic Rep. Joe Courtney without noting that the author is the communications director for one of Courtney's Republican challengers!
Ted Mann of the New London, CT newspaper The Day explains:
Also on Monday, I received a Google news alert directing me to the Daily Caller, for an opinion piece that criticizes Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, primarily for having been the subject of media reports about how much money he has raised for his reelection.
The piece, by Jerry Maldonado, is headlined "Is Joe Courtney worried?"
Here's how Maldonado is identified, in a handy disclaimer for Caller readers: "Jerry Scott Maldonado is the author of 'Columns, Quotes & The American Dream.' Tate Publishing Group, due out October 2010. He is a featured columnist for The D.C.G Network of news sites: Sundaynewscape.com, Onequestionnews.com, and Imperialvalleynews.com. Jerry's work has also been featured internationally."
Here's what they don't tell you about Jerry Maldonado: He's the communications director for Janet Peckinpaugh, one of the three Republicans running for Congress against Joe Courtney this fall.
And it's not the first time her campaign spokesman has taken to the Daily Caller's site to talk up Peckinpaugh without disclosing his connection to the campaign.
I wonder why the Daily Caller would leave that connection undisclosed. And I wonder why anyone would waste time reading hand-wringing dispatches on journalism ethics from a publication that would do so.
UPDATE: Here's a July 26 Maldonado Daily Caller column criticizing Courtney. Here's a June 3 Maldonado Daily Caller column praising Peckinpaugh. Here's a July 21 Peckinpaugh press release listing Maldonado as her communications director. And another from July 20.
UPDATE 2: This is kind of hilarious. Here's how Maldonado ends his July 26 Daily Caller column: "I'm Jerry Maldonado and I approve this message." That, of course, is a reference to campaign disclosure laws that require candidates for political office to stand by their ads. Maldonado, in other words, is mimicking the language of transparency in a Daily Caller column that hides the fact that he is employed by a candidate in the race he's writing about.

What's News?
October 1
WELCOME to the Forest Lodge Library's new website...brought to you thanks to funds granted by LSTA(Library Services Technology Act) through a grant written and administered by the NWLS (Northern Waters Library Service, the system we belong to.) Our website was certainly due for an update, so, being able to take advantage of these granted funds was a very happy happenstance. Would like to extend thanks, also, to NWLS personnel who spent many hours schooling all participating libraries in the craft of website construction...through the use of JOOMLA, open-source software. Special thanks to Mike Sauvola...who took so many of my calls and who calmed me down on many occasions.
It's definitely fall here in Cable...after our late-blooming summer came and went...in September. The fall leaves, which have usually peaked by now...are just getting a really good start...but, chill nights should effect the change promptly.
Happy Fall...getting on time to curl up under a blankie with a cup of something warm and steamy...and a GOOD BOOK! Check out "Staff Picks" and "New Arrivals" for suggestions!

Detroit Tigers' pitching prospect Jay Voss climbed the rankings after a breakout season in 2011. A move to the rotation yielded 12 wins, a 3.56 ERA and a solid 1.16 WHIP. Heading into the 2012 season with high hopes, Voss' road to the show took a minor detour, as he was shutdown with a flexor-pronator injury that required Tommy John surgery.
Over the past few months, Jay Voss has agreed to participate in a three-part series with TigsTown, documenting his return to the mound. As the series unfolds we look forward to giving you the reader an inside look at Jay's journey.
Part 1: Voss Feels Pain, Goes Under the Knife
TigsTown: It has been about two months since we last checked in with you Jay. During that time, you have returned to the field, beginning baseball activities for the first time since your surgical procedure. Can you talk a bit about what you've been up to since we last spoke?
Jay Voss: Well, I have started to return to throwing activities. I just completed my 5th week of throwing. I have been working hard on my conditioning and strength, and I am making great gains in that department. I've gained 12 lbs [I'm] up to 220. I've never been in this good of condition. I was always working hard on that part of the equation, but me being able to get back out there and throw the ball around has been a welcome blessing. I can't say enough good things about how the organization has treated me throughout the process. I also can't thank the Strength and Conditioning staff and Medical staff enough for how much they've been there to push me forward.
TigsTown: What sort of throwing program are you currently on right now?
Jay Voss: Right now I am in the beginning phase of my throwing program. I have been throwing 3-to-4 days per week at 60 feet and building up my endurance to 60 throws. It is a crucial part of the rehab and not something you can really rush. The shoulder and elbow have to re-acclimate to throwing. I will begin increasing distances real soon to build arm strength and move toward my return to the mound. Building the arm strength back up is the key.
TigsTown: Have you experienced any setbacks?
Jay Voss: I have been very fortunate. I have not been experiencing many difficulties and my rehab coordinator, Corey Tremble, has me on a good progression. There is some soreness that comes along with the process, but that is normal. Nobody ever claims that the process is easy. It definitely is not. You have to be tough minded and fight through the little obstacles to get back where you want to be.
TigsTown: What will be the next step of your throwing program?
Jay Voss: I will be increasing distances very soon in my throwing program and should be ready to hit the bullpen mounds by the end of the winter.
TigsTown: Now that you have begun throwing, have you altered (or do you plan on altering) anything about your delivery, mechanics or repertoire?
Jay Voss: I don't think any big changes will take place. I will use this time to really get a good feel for my delivery and get my timing in order. The ball is coming out of my hand pretty good right now and I feel at the end of my recovery my stuff will be a step above where it was right before I got hurt.
TigsTown: What is the current timetable for your return to the mound against live hitters?
Jay Voss: Right now I am taking things one throwing session at a time. I believe the organization has a tentative time table set in place, but I have not been in their ear about it too much. The Tigers have a number of Tommy John survivors in place, and I trust they know how to get me back to 100%. The "standard" recovery time is usually in the area of a full year. I had the surgery May 22. So we will see. My focus is to work to get myself ready and when they put me on the hill I'll come out firing.
TigsTown: As you mentioned, the Tigers' organization has several Tommy John survivors. Have you been able to reach out to anyone during your rehab process to help you navigate through things?
Jay Voss: Yes, that is one positive. There have been many TJ survivors reach out to me with advice and help. Duane Below, Tyler Stohr, Michael Morrison, Chad Smith, the list goes on. Me and [Steven] Moya are down here rehabbing together from the same surgery. We "compare notes" so to speak at times. Duane Below is down here as well working out and getting ready for 2013. I am sure he will council me a bit through my progression as well. People who have the procedure form kind of a support group it seems. It's really cool.
One last thing… GO TIGERS!
Next Up: The final installment will cover Voss' return to the mound facing live hitters.

Banks 'biggest hurdle' to mortgage relief scheme, Sattaur says
-over 1,400 applications received since last year
Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) Commissioner-General Khurshid Sattaur says that several banking institutions are delaying access to the mortgage interest relief scheme for first-time home builders and owners based on the number of applications that lack critical banking information.
The scheme, which was one of the measures announced in last year's national budget, permits first-time home owners who are holders of mortgage loans of up to $30 million from a commercial bank or the building society to deduct the interest they pay on such mortgages from their taxable income for the purpose of personal income tax.
In a statement issued yesterday, Sattaur noted that implementation requires the assistance of the various lending institutions and said the GRA is "dissatisfied" with the level of cooperation it has received so far in the processing of information to facilitate the scheme.
He recalled that last October, the GRA held workshops with representatives from the various lending institutions, started a public education campaign and was vigorous in providing the information necessary for mortgagers to qualify for this relief.
"To date however, the biggest hurdle has been the receipt of applications without the accompanying bank information," Sattaur said. "This has forced the Revenue Authority to accept applications which cannot be processed since the relevant Letter by Lender Form (Form 2) and Schedule of Interest per Year are missing. Without this key piece of information applications will not be finalized for approval," he said in the statement.
To date, he revealed, the GRA has received 1,487 applications, of which 1,437 were received in 2013 and the remainder in the first two weeks of this new year.
Of the 470 applications submitted by customers of Republic Bank, 687 from the New Building Society, 96 from the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry, 87 from Scotiabank, six from Demerara Bank, four from Hand-in-Hand Trust, 50 from Citizens Bank and two from the Bank of Guyana, more than 200 applications were received with outstanding bank information.
"This statistic is quite troubling and the Guyana Revenue Authority will be having talks with the relevant stakeholders in an effort to fully understand the reason for the lack of information being provided to those mortgagers who have expressed their desire to benefit from this relief," Sattaur said.
Sattaur had told Stabroek News last December that the implementation of the relief measure was taking longer than anticipated since the banks are not working as fast as he believes is warranted. "We are not getting the cooperation from the commercial banks," he had said. "We have done everything we need to do but we are now waiting on the banks to do their part."
He had explained that some of the banks were complaining that it would take time to put the systems in place to facilitate the measures. He noted then, however, that some of those institutions have started to advertise the services.
The Government Information Agency (GINA) had reported that the introduction of the scheme would cost the government approximately $580 million annually, and will benefit tens of thousands of first time low and middle income home owners.
Sattaur's statement yesterday noted that the GRA has established a unit catering specifically to the mortgage interest relief scheme. It is fully staffed and equipped to address the needs of persons accessing this service and will continue to process applications as submitted. For inquiries about the scheme the public is invited to contact the unit on telephone numbers 227-6060 or 227-8222 ext 1040 or alternatively, the Tax Advisory Services Section on ext 1200-1024.
To date, the banks have not issued a statement on this matter.
When he had signed the mortgage interest relief regulations on October 8th last year, Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh had called on the GRA and the participating financial institutions to proceed to implement the regulations as soon as possible to ensure that the intended relief is delivered to the beneficiary population. The Minister stated that the relief is expected to make home ownership even more affordable and attractive and increase disposable incomes in thousands of households. He said it will also constitute a significant injection of cash into the economy for both savings and consumption, thereby generating and multiplying business activity.

Is North Carolina A Micro-America?
Updated:Let's take a look at the political landscape: a widely unpopular chief executive who has a unified party control of the legislature. A moody electorate where the opposition political party is energized, the middle is irritated and the controlling political party is apathetic and perhaps demoralized. A number of legislative seats are up for grabs, and political analysts (like me) are saying that one of the legislative chambers will flip to control by the opposition.
Sound familiar? No, I'm not talking about national politics -- it's North Carolina politics, and the situation that the Democrats find themselves in at the national level is just as evident at the state level of government.
First, some basic facts about Tar Heel state government: Democrats control the Governor's Mansion and the General Assembly -- in the N.C. House of Representatives, it's a 68-52 majority, while in the N.C. Senate, it's a 30-20 split. So Democrats have the most to lose, and Bev Perdue's lack of popularity (only 35 percent approve, according to a PPP Poll) is akin to President Obama's favorability (or lack thereof) rating. So there's one similarity between Raleigh and Washington.
Second, like in the U.S. Congress, the vast majority of seats are "safe" for one party or the other -- meaning that right now, I could safely predict that 20 Democrats and 19 Republican N.C. Senate candidates will return to Raleigh. That's pretty close, figuring you need 26 for the majority. Factor in three Senate seats that will most likely flip from Democratic to Republican control (one of them is David Hoyle's seat in Gastonia, the other two are in the mountains), and you've got Republicans close to the magic number to control the N.C. Senate.
Out of eight "toss-up" seats that are left, two are Republican control (count those in the Republican column this year), and the other six Democratic-controlled seats have three "open" seats. These are critical, because even in a year like this, it's better to have an incumbent in swing districts than someone the voters don't know very well.
So, if you were to bet on a potential Republican take-over this year in the legislature, look to the N.C. Senate -- it would be the first time Republicans controlled the upper chamber since the end of the 19th century.
For the N.C. House, it's again a matter of "safe" seats dominating (Democrats controlling 55 seats, Republicans controlling 52 seats out of the 120 total) and a handful of "swing" seats that will determine who controls the lower chamber. Right now, Democrats have more "swing" districts to defend, with two of those seats being open. There is a possibility that when Nov. 2's dust settles, we could see a potential 60-60 tie again (see 2002 for what happens next), or one party has a bare 61-59 control of the House.
Third, the "generic" ballot indicates that Republicans are up over Democrats anywhere from eight to thirteen points, much like the national scene. The GOP is benefiting from solid support from its base and the favor of independents, even though Democrats make up 48 percent of registered voters in the state.
Overall, the state-level political scene is a lot like the national scene -- and it's only going to result in more gridlock leading up to 2012.

How to get story ideas and learn new writing tricks faster
Hi, my name is Amy McLane, and I write epic fantasy. Here is a sampling of the books I've read in the past month or so, in reverse chronological order (and yes, this is related to that flashing neon sign of a blog title, don't worry, we're getting there):
American Vampire by Scott Snyder (Horror, graphic novel)
The Kindly Ones by Neil Gaiman (Fantasy, graphic novel)
Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King (Horror, four novellas)
Driven by James Sallis (Noir Thriller, short novel)
Crystal Rain by Tobias Buckell (Science Fiction, novel)
The Cold Commands by Richard Morgan (Fantasy, novel)
Now, fantasy is my first and moste potente love, but as you can see, I try to read all over the map, and I go through phases, too. For example, in the early spring I went through a big Classic Lit/YA thing, whereas right now I'm more drawn to Horror, Crime, and SF. I read all over the map for three reasons:
- As a reader, it's fun
- As a writer, I learn more tricks faster
- And, the more (and varied) books I read, the more ideas I get
What? Yeah. More tricks. Faster. More ideas. Faster. YUP. Don't believe me? TRY IT. If you've been in a writing rut, go to the library and check out a handful of books in genre you don't normally read. Put your smartphone on silent and snoopily check reviews, so that you can pick books that have good word-of-mouth. After all, you don't want to try sailing into a new land on the back of a dead whale. (I hear it's really hard to get ambergris out of blue jeans.) And then read them!
Bonus round: Target your weak spots. If you only ever read novels, try short stories, novellas, graphic novels, and learn how the different forms function. If you have trouble creating tension in your stories, go for thrillers or horror novels. If your relationships suck, try romance. If your settings are flat, pick SF or fantasy. Now that's not to say you can't find, say, a thriller with a rich setting, or a fantasy novel with a breakneck pace (that's pretty much mandatory these days, amiright), but if you really want to see how the game works, how all those bits and pieces come together to make a functioning whole, you need to get outside your comfort zone and examine how things are done in different genres. It'll open your eyes.
I have lots of story ideas. Frequently. It annoys many of my writer-chums. Right now I just finished a novel and am trying to clean up my query packet. Next up? Well I have five different novel ideas, some of which I have 10k+ words laid down on already, and I guess I'm just going to go with my gut in regards to what to work on next. In the meantime, I bumped out three short stories last week, as a form of procrastination against cleaning up the aforementioned query packet.
How do I get so many ideas for stories? By exposing myself to other stories, lots of stories, wildly different stories. Try it, I'm begging you. Those wildly different stories will throw a party in your hindbrain, they'll mix, they'll mingle, they'll ferment, and then, the stork named inspiration will leave you a present in your cabbage patch.
So go forth, my writerly friends, read everything you can get your grubby little mitts on, and reap the rewards.

We're still not sure why Isis passed away so suddenly. I know that if I had the money, I would definitely get a necropsy done so that I can sleep in peace. But for now, it will have to do to know that she is out of pain, and that she won't have to leave me in the end. I knew she was getting attached, but unfortunately she just didn't fit in our active lifestyle. We had a furr-ever home lined up for her and everything! There have been mentions of rattlesnakes, the only poisonous snake in CO, roaming about here recently, as well as bears who have been rummaging our trash every night. I know that I sheltered Isis so I seriously hope wild animals are not to be blamed... we saw her running and jumping right before lunch and then... she was gone after lunch. Vet says most likely a congenital heart condition. It's sad if that were true because it would have come from poor breeding or at least not careful screening from previous vets and owner. sad still.

Post by Jessica R.
Last week I packed up a small suitcase and headed cross country for a few days with out the husband or the kids. I took care of all the laundry and stocked up the fridge before I left so they'd have clean clothes and something to eat. Then I left without really worrying about any of them. I've left my husband in charge before and he's always done a fabulous job of keeping everything running smoothly.
In fact, sometimes it's a little disheartening to see just how well he does when I'm gone.
This time, however, things did not go quite as well as last time, which, while being great for my ego, was not so great for my poor husband's nerves.
Because of one child's antics he got very little sleep one night, leaving him a bit bleary eyed and slightly short tempered . In a misguided attempt to entertain them for an hour he decided that they'd all walk to the grocery store to get some lunch. It was a gorgeous day and much to his frustration the girls did not quite feel his urgency for getting to the store. Instead they dilly-dallied and stopped every few feet to gawk at something new.
Annoyance bubbling out of every pore he finally turned and snapped.
"Can't you guys walk any faster?"
My five year old very seriously turned to him and replied with an unequivocal No. When pressed for an explanation, she replied very simply.
"No, I will not walk faster. It's a beautiful day and it's the weekend. I want to enjoy it."
They didn't get to the store as fast as my husband had wished, but they definitely enjoyed the journey more than he'd expected.

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
With a scene that's becoming increasingly incestuous, purveyors of local nightlife put us to task this year in determining any sole winner in this category. Having chosen collective status over individual stardom, Fort Lauderdale's Phoenix crew -- just one of a few groups that now call local venue Roxanne's home -- has put to bed the notion of marquee DJs, opting to supply eclectic music and culture to a Broward community jaded by Himmarshee Street. Comprised of a blend of scenesters -- including drum 'n' bass maestro Sean Weeks, Poplife mainstay Ray Milian, and burgeoning Lauderdale DJ Andie Superstar -- Phoenix bears the imprint of the Brothers Alexander but is growing sturdy enough legs to distinguish itself from the Crush milieu. Weeks, specifically, is an anomaly in this indie-centric scene, having spent the past half-decade spreading frenetic jungle beats through his nights at Karma and other SoFla locales. Yet somehow, the Chicago native has found a comfortable fit in a group more likely to break it down to DFA and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah than Metalheadz. But Weeks is just one component of a well-oiled machine, and with veterans like Milian on board for the ride, Phoenix Fridays thrives thanks more to a fiercely talented collective than to any single luminary.
Yeah, it's known to attract monstrous, man-eating sharks, but that's only in New England. In the movies. In real-life South Florida, nothing is more randy than a few brews on a blanket under the stars and a communal dip in the buff. The important things to remember here: 1. Watch your clothes. Those teenagers smoking a joint up the beach are gonna think it's hilarious when you're wet and shriveled and can't find your skivvies. (The fact is, they're right.) 2. Watch for police. Certain beaches -- and we're not gonna reveal which ones for, um, liability's sake -- attract the fuzz more than others. Public nudity is illegal in Florida, but more than that, cops just hate to see you having fun. 3. If there's a meter in the parking lot, feed it. There's no bigger turnoff than getting back to the car with a good buzz, a libido in full throttle, and a ticket under the wiper. And 4. A full moon is very bright. And we mean that in more ways than one.
Michael Kostick gets a little carried away when he talks about his favorite nightspot, Café 27, on U.S. 27, across from Everglades Holiday Park, out where Griffin Road meets the wilderness. It's bike night there on Fridays, when the motorcycling dudes crowd into a series of chickee huts and wet bars and the beer flows like water. If you're lucky, one of the motorcycle clubs will be holding a party there and Kostick, who goes by "Nasty" with his friends, will be in charge of the pudding wrestling, with wenches in bathing suits writhing in mounds of mushy stuff. Last time that happened, Nasty says, it was phenomenal. "My God, it was the best condiment wrestling I've seen in years," he says. Nasty, who in his day job is vice president for sales and marketing of a manufacturing company (they make air purification apparatuses for firefighters), is well-known in biking circles as a longstanding writer for the monthly Wheels on the Road. Maybe Café 27 isn't for everybody, Nasty says, but it actually draws a diverse crowd -- "from open-road truckers to Everglades hunters to hard-riding bikers." If you can't get into the scene, get into the great people-watching.
As soon as we rule the world, we'll raze all the condos and build a string of tiki bars right on the beach so that you can spend happy hour properly... barhopping along the sand. Until then, the best place to de-stress after work is right in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Despite its urban location, Tarpon Bend creates a laid-back, outdoorsy vibe by displaying fish sculptures and world records from the International Game Fish Association. Furthermore, it has sidewalk seating, giant windows, and a second-story loft that gives it a wide-open feel. We're not the only ones who love it; happy hour -- especially on Fridays -- gets slammed. The "hour" lasts from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 4 to 9 on Friday, and 6 to 9 on Sunday, and it includes two-for-one drinks on everything except shots and pitchers. Live bands play every night, and promotions like the Miss Hawaiian Tropic Contest attract a fun, young crowd. A waitress named Megan has three additional explanations for the bar and grill's allure: one, "You get the best service you ever had in your life." Two, "Every server has a great personality." And three, "We're all hot." Just in case happy hour leads into happy night, there are 20 other bars within hopping distance.
Crabby Jack's has made a name for itself with the FAU college crowd for good reason. While most students are late-night partyers, this seafood joint knows the importance of a good pregame technique. Not many folks spend the entire night at Crabby Jack's -- but that's what happy hour is all about. You get in, you get bent, you get out. What better way to tie one on than 69-cent Miller Lites? Don't like Miller? Choose any domestic draft for 99 cents. But seriously, you're here to get a job done -- why spend the extra 30 cents?
Eleven-thirty on a Thursday night may be sheep-counting time for most 9-to-5'ers, but at Delux's weekly indie night, Flaunt, the dance floor's just getting warmed up... and how. The club's plush interior seems to belie the unrestrained activities of the mostly 20-something regulars. You won't find the usual hipster posturing here. But there's no time for that anyway, not when there's free Ketel One vodka (for groups of ten) and well drinks are half-priced before midnight. By that time, though, only the true barflies are still sitting on stools; everyone else is on the dance floor. On any given night, you can hear anything from the Postal Service's "Such Great Heights" to Elvis Costello's "High Fidelity" to the Supremes' "You Can't Hurry Love" and even DJ Assault's "Ass 'n' Titties" (for a little bump-and-grind time). As the 2 a.m. closing time draws near, the sounds often veer into punk-rock territory (the Misfits' "Last Caress," Operation Ivy's "Knowledge"). And when it's time to leave, there's no fear of finding out that your new love interest is underage; Flaunt is strictly 21 and up. So drink, dance, and for Pete's sake, keep it debauched.

Phi Kappa Psi Atlanta Alumni Association Founders' Day Banquet
PKP AAA Officers
Friday, March 1, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM (EST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
This year, we will be celebrating our Founders' Day Banquet on Friday, March 1, 2013, and we offer you some new directions for the Atlanta AA. Brother Mike McCoy, Indiana Beta 1958, will be our featured speaker. Mike is our National Historian (SWSG for those who remember their pledge ed), and will be sharing some of those details that may have missed your reading or instruction regarding our history. We have already heard from a number of Brothers who will be attending for the first time and others who will be returning after a considerable absence. The pertinent details of the banquet are included with this newsletter, along with directions and a map to assist you in finding your way back to the Petite Auberge Restaurant. We anticipate a great deal of celebration, renewing our contacts with Brothers from years past and meeting those who are new to the Atlanta Alumni Association. President Scott Percy, Georgia Beta 2000; Vice President Evan Gibson, Georgia Beta 2000, along with Secretary/Treasurer Flynn Brantley, South Carolina Alpha 1972 and Deputy Secretary/Treasurer Mark Vande Kerkhoff, Ohio Zeta 1986 will be on hand to ensure that the business session for the association moves expeditiously. An excellent dinner has been planned, preceded by a social hour, and followed by a brief business meeting of the Atlanta Association. Please note that we will begin the evening half an hour earlier than in past years. We will be electing association officers and delegates to the WWLS/DC, with reports from the chapters. This is one of those rare occasions when we can mingle with the latest generation of Brothers, to discover that we may be separated by age, but not by ideals, to join together in celebration and song – even if slightly off-key.

I can't find any reasons as why it wouldn't be allowed. The author is not forcing anyone to buy the app. Maybe that is an actual live app which he/she built using the framework being sold here.

text: Home > How To > Foundations > A New Look for Old Paneling Foundations A New Look for Old Paneling Skim-coating the walls with setting compound is easier than starting from scratch By Ron Rodewald Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. (453.4 kB) I once thought that old wood-veneer paneling needed to be torn out and replaced with new drywall to properly give paneled rooms a smooth, painted finish. But about 25 years ago, a good friend of mine showed me how he skim-coated paneling with Durabond setting-type joint compound (USG, 800/874-4968, www.usg.com), a technique he'd used to renovate several of his apartments. To this day, those walls are as smooth and sound as can be, even after years of being rented out to families with youngsters.Over the years, I've skim-coated a lot of paneling. It seems that in the late '60s and early '70s, almost every home received some sort of wood-veneer-paneling makeover.
