Innovative solutions: From FOG to Biodiesel (click on image for brochure)
Learn about the results on the demonstration on the final report for the Brown Grease Recovery and Biofuel Demonstration Project.
For a tour of the FOG to Biodiesel Demonstration Facility, contact us at (415) 242-2232.
The FOG Control Ordinance requires San Francisco restaurants and other food service establishments that cook food, and therefore have grease in their wastewater discharges, to install grease capturing equipment (i.e. traps or interceptors). The FOG Control Ordinance provides clear guidelines on exactly what type of grease capturing equipment restaurants must install and includes standards to ensure that the equipment is well maintained and serviced.
To help restaurants comply with the FOG Control Ordinance, Wastewater Inspectors began making visits in 2011. Inspectors assign each food service establishment a FOG Discharger Category number (1, 2 or 3) that reflects their potential to discharge grease to the sewer system, and notify the establishment of their compliance requirements. Establishments can use this FOG Discharger Checklist to determine their FOG Discharger Category, and then refer to the factsheets below to find out their compliance requirements.
The General Wastewater Discharge Permit gave existing establishments until April 1, 2012 (one year from the effective date of the ordinance) to install the required equipment. However, existing establishments can delay the installation of grease capturing equipment until they are visited by an inspector and issued a notification of the equipment installation requirements. Some establishments were required to install equipment prior to April 1, 2012, including new or converted establishments, existing establishments that caused sewer blockages, or those that undergo changes of ownership, remodeling, or renovations. See the General Wastewater Discharge Permit for details.
If your restaurant is required to install a grease removal device, there are loan/lease options to help reduce costs. See these factsheets for more information: English, Chinese, Spanish.
*** After you install grease capturing equipment, download and fill out this Installation Verification Form to receive a 14.2% reduction on the sewer service charge portion of your water/sewer bill.

Really good piece by Peggy Noonan on our second term President, Barack Obama - specifically on his "hostility" quotient - and governing by it
It captured pretty well my feelings about the President - she of course says it better than me as she is an accomplished columnist who not only writes but is a somewhat frequent guest on cable news - have seen her on Meet The Press
a couple of moments from the piece about what's up in the days leading to the inauguration - that it should be a moment of unity, not division - instead the President chooses a different path
a great read - dead on actually - about this divisive President who appears to be approaching his 2nd (and thankfully final) term with the spirit of ......... well no spirit at allHe bristled with unashamed hostility for Republicans on the Hill. They are holding the economy "ransom," they are using the threat of "crashing the American economy" as "leverage," some are "absolutist" while others are "consumed with partisan brinkmanship." They are holding "a gun at the head of the American people." And what is "motivating and propelling" them is not a desire for debt reduction, as they claim.

From FreeMind
Since FreeMind 0.9.0 has a scripting facility using Groovy.
- Tools > Evaluate: run all the scripts in a mind map
- Tools > Script Editor
- Alt + F8: run all the scripts in a mind map
Each script is stored in a named attribute of a node, named for example as "script1" or "script2". One node can have several scripts attached. There is no way to store scripts in a script file for the whole application; scripts can only be stored in mind maps[verify].
To add a new script to a node, use the script editor, available from the menu Tools > Script Editor. Alternatively, you can plainly create an attribute whose name starts with "script" such as "script2"; such an attribute is understood by FreeMind to be a script.
To run all the scripts in a mind map, use the menu Tools > Evaluate or press Alt + F8.
To run a single script, use the script editor (Tools > Script Editor), and its menu item Actions > Run. The Run function of the script editor shows the results of the execution in the pane at the bottom, and it shows error messages there, if any.
For more detail, see the FreeMind documentation available from the menu Help > Documentation, the section "New features in version 0.9.0" and the subsection "Scripting support".
Some example scripts:
- Setting a new text of a node:
=12 * 14(A little trick: scripts starting with "=" replace the text of a node with their results.)
- Changing the text of a node:
c.setNodeText(node, node.getText() + " - appended text")
- Setting the text color of a node:
c.setNodeColor(node, java.awt.Color.RED)
- Setting the background color of a node:
c.setNodeBackgroundColor(node, java.awt.Color.YELLOW)
See also Example scripts.
For another set of examples, see the FreeMind documentation available from the menu Help > Documentation, the section "New features in version 0.9.0" and the subsection "Scripting support".
Script editor
FreeMind has a very simplistic script editor, available from menu Tools > Script Editor. The editor has no color highlighting of code, and no specific support for writing Groovy scripts: it is basically a plain text editor like Notepad.
The editor has three panes: left one, right one, and bottom one. The left pane shows a list of scripts attached to a node. The right pane shows the script selected in the left pane. The bottom pane shows the results of the execution of a script.
The actions available in the menu Action of the script editor are New Script, Run, Sign Script, Dismiss Changes and Exit, and Save and Exit.
The action Action > New Script adds a new script to the left pane, named as "script1", "script2", etc. The newly created script can be edited in the right pane once the name of the script is selected in the left pane.
The action Action > Run runs the script selected in the left pane, and shows the result of running the script in the bottom pane, including any error messages.
The action Action > Sign Script makes it possible to sign a script. [To be documented].
The scripts can access FreeMind's scripting API--application programming interface. Above all, the scripts would typically make use of the methods of MindMapController. The mind map controller is available to scripts as 'c'.
These are the variables made available to scripts and their types:
def MindMapController c // the controller
def MindMapNode node // the node the script is run on
def HashMap cookies sScriptCookies // A hashmap of key-value pairs (WHAT IS THIS ANYWAY?)
It is suggested the programmer uses the Freemind sourced code and an IDE to explore the types and what methods are available.
By default, FreeMind scripts are restricted in what they can do on the local computer. The restrictions include those of file operations, network operations and execution of applications. These restrictions can be lifted in user preferences, from the menu Tools > Preferences..., and the section "Scripting".
The available security options for scripting, in the section "Scripting" and subsection "Permissions":
- Permit File Operations
- Permit Network Operations
- Permit to Execute Other Applications
- Trust Signed Scripts
- Optional User Key Alias for Signing
The scripting engine and language of FreeMind is Groovy. To find out about Groovy, you can check the following web resources:
- Groovy homepage
- Groovy, Java's New Scripting Language, 2004-09-29, onjava.com
- Your Thoughts on the Groovy Scripting Language?, 2006-04-17, Slashdot - a review and a discussion thread on pros and cons of Groovy
Scripts are stored in an attribute whose name reads "script" followed with a numeral, meaning in the attribute of the attribute function, not in the attribute of XML.
The script attributes are probably distinguished from non-script attributes by their starting with "script".
An example of storage in XML:
<node TEXT="hello"> <attribute NAME="script1" VALUE="=node.getNodeLevel() + " " + node.getText()"/> </node>
Scripting is implemented as an external plugin.
Package: freemind/plugins/script/
- There is no way to store scripts in a script file for the whole application; scripts can only be stored in mind maps[verify].

30 Years of AIDS: Dr. James Curran, Dean of Emory's Rollins School of Public Health
September 19, 2011
In the fifth installment of our continuing six-week video series, Dr. James Curran, Dean of the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory University discusses the early years of research and response to HIV/AIDS, the uncertainty of its cause, the rush to understand the epidemic fully, and the urgency to respond to the disease.
Dr. Curran shared that, "the biggest problem with HIV is that there is no vaccine and there is no cure. When I become skeptical, when I say, it's going to be very difficult to develop a vaccine, I don t see how it's possible, or how can we ever cure HIV? I think back 20 years or 30 years when people said we would never find the cause of this disease, there would never be any drugs that could treat such a viral infection, we'll never be able to determine viral load, it's not going to be possible to stop a pregnant woman from transmitting it to her child. And so the skepticism that I feel is beaten down by the accomplishments of the past."
The following video shares the full interview with Dr. Curran as he explains the early discovery of HIV/AIDS at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the courageous response to the disease led by early researchers.
Robb Nolan is the AIDS.gov technical and video coordinator.

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013. Looks like we not only survived Dec. 21 (which, let's face it, was an overblown farce from the get-go), but the transition from 2012 to 2013 — the supposedly unlucky '13! But even that has been debunked lately — 13 is no unluckier than 12 or 14 for that matter.
In fact, in the late 1880s, a group, The Thirteen Club, was formed to debunk the superstition of, among other things, 13 at a table (which stated that when 13 people are seated at a table, one will die within a year). They met on the 13th of the month and had dinner with precisely 13 at each table. Five U.S. Presidents were members. Nothing out of the ordinary happened to members of the group, which numbered 400-strong at its height.
And, 2013 is the Chinese zodiac's Year of the Snake, water snake to be exact. But instead of bringing dire consequences, the snake sign is a sign of luck, wisdom, intelligence and self-control, something we could use a lot of this year.
So, when it comes down to it, we don't have to fear the year 2013, but embrace it, make significant changes, be wise, love and laugh often. And, since this is a live music column, get out there and support live music.
This is the slowest time of the year, not only economically (especially for the hospitality, restaurant and nightclub businesses), but musically.
But that doesn't mean everything comes to a standstill — the music actually never stops.
The Golden State Theatre hosts one of the first live music shows of the new year with an appearance Thursday night by Santa Cruz Americana band Deep Ellum, with folkie Big Sur singer-songwriter Levi Strom opening the show at 8 p.m.
Deep Ellum has been awfully busy since being formed in 2011 in Santa Cruz. The band released its first album last October, "Welcome to Deep Ellum," has played extensively in its hometown and locally at the annual The Mother Hips' HipNic and at Fernwood Tavern, both in Big Sur.
But this will be their debut in Monterey, which bandleader David Glasebrook said the band is "very excited" to play.
Glasebrook describes the band as "bootcut boogie" and "cosmic country," with influences ranging from Creedence Clearwater Revival and Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers to Crazy Horse, The Band and Sir Douglas Quintet.
In fact, the band's song "Mississippi Moon" from its debut sounds like CCR and Tony Joe White ("Polk Salad Annie") collaborated on the song.
The band's 2013 plans include a tour of California tour, a stop at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, and the start of a partnership backing the renowned singer-songwriter Peter Case.
Strom is a familiar face around here, playing up and down the coast, solo and with an informal collection of local musicians.
He describes his folksy, hearfelt music as "surf country," which happens to be the title of his soon-to-be-released third full-length album, due in March on Vow Records.
This time he teamed up with Atascadero country rockers Sparrows Gate to record the album.
"The music kinda wrote itself," said Strom, who has also played the HipNic festival and other Big Sur music events. "They have this cool house out in the country, with mules and chickens running around, and during the day to take a break from recording, we would go surfing. At the end of the day the music sounded exactly like that, surf country!"
Doors open at 7:30 p.m., show is at 8, $10 door, all ages. Listen to the music at deepellum.bandcamp.com and www.bigsurlevi.bandcamp.com.
Another way to get your year off to a great start is to attend Thursday's Independent Marketplace at The Independent in Sand City. This month's theme is "New Year's Revolution: Rejuvenating Mind, Body and Soul," with the merchants and purveyors all offering goods and service that will help you attain those rejuvenating goals.
Musically, Michael Glines & Sugar Sauce will be performing at the 4-9 p.m. event, with DJ Lance providing music in between sets. Info is at: www.facebook.com/TheIndependentMarketplace.
Another venue keeping music alive is the intimate Pierce Ranch Vineyards Tasting Room at Wave Street and McClellan Avenue, a few blocks from Cannery Row.
This Friday at 8:30 p.m., it's singer-songwriters Andrew Shaw-Kitch and David Molina. Only $5 at the door, with Pierce Ranch wines available by the glass.
Cibo's Sunday jazz jam is from 3:30-6:30 p.m. this sunday at the downtown Monterey eatery. This is the former Hyatt jazz jam moved to downtown and features co-hosts, David Morwood on drums and Lee Durley on vocals. Special guest this Sunday is trumpeter Tony Horowitz, who has played with Ray Charles and Louis Bellson, among others., No cover, happy hour prices at the bar.GO!
Award-winning Alligator Records artists Rick Estrin and Joe Louis Walker will perform at Moe's Alley in Santa Cruz on Thursday night. Harpist/vocalist/songwriter Estrin and guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Walker will appear as part of "Mark Hummel's Blues Harmonica Blowout" that also features Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Lazy Lester, Little Charlie Baty (of Little Charlie & The Nightcats), Ron Thompson and Aki Kumar. Tickets are $30 advance, $33 day of show, showtime is 8 p.m.479-1854, www.moesalley.com.
Well-traveled Bay Area jam band Moonalice plays Saturday night at 8 p.m. at Don Quixote's in Felton. $10, for ages 21-plus.
Also dream-pop singer-songwriter Marissa Nadler, touring in support of her brand new album, "The Sister," available now on her own Box Of Cedar Records, plays Thursday night at 9 at Don Quixote's. Cost is $10 advance, $12 door, 21 and older. http://marissanadler.com.
Popular Texas blues singer-guitarist Hamilton Loomis plays Wednesday night at 8 at Moe's Alley. Loomis plays two sets with his full band. $12 advance, $15 door.
Monterey's The Money Band plays Friday night at 9 at the Crow's Nest in Santa Cruz. Word is that a lot of Monterey Peninsula folks are making the trek to the venue. And at least one of them is celebrating a birthday: Happy Birthday Wendy!

The more you experiment with classes in Titanfall, the better you'll be able to perform. While the three default classes have a lot to offer, custom classes will let you best cater to your own strengths.
The first thing you'll need to keep in mind is that custom classes won't unlock until you get to level 5. That may sound like it'll take a while to get to, but the truth is that you should be able to unlock them with about two hours of continuous play--maybe even less than that. Once you do, you'll have access to a certain number of tools to choose from, ranging from weapons to tactical abilities to kits. There's plenty to look over here, so let's look at what each of the general classes have to offer, and what's bound to be best for you.
Primary Weapon
This is your main firearm, which you'll use over the course of the game except when you utilize a Burn Card for a one-time swap-out during a round. With the three default classes--Rifleman, Assassin and CQB--you'll have three main weapons to choose from, although more can be unlocked over the course of play.
The Rifleman's R-101C Carbine is a good general assault rifle, which has both distance and accuracy going for it, as well as a solid rate of fire. It doesn't have the spread of the shotgun, nor the lock-on capability of the smart pistol, but it is effective when it comes to mowing down ground troops or Grunts.
The Smart Pistol, the primary weapon of the assassin, is a great up-close weapon when it comes to nailing enemies with quick shots. They don't even need to be aiming primarily at them, as long as the lock-ons are in place. It usually takes three to bring down a soldier, so make sure you get these before you waste bullets.
Finally, the CQB Pilot's EVA-8 Shotgun is excellent when it comes to killing enemies quickly. What it lacks in range, it more than makes up in firepower, as it can bring down most ground troops with one singular shot, depending how much of the blast they absorb. Use these when you're taking care of groups of Minions, or want to get a surprise on someone around a corner.
Many people will swear up and down about the R-101C Carbine for general assault, but the EVA-8 Shotgun is remarkable, and fires at a pretty fast pace. The Smart Pistol can also do some good during skirmishes, although you'll really need to put yourself out there when it comes to targeting. Use it if you think you can handle it.
The sidearm isn't as vital as the primary weapon, as you're only likely to use it when you run low on ammunition. You'll start out with two selections at first- the Hammond P2011 (which both the Rifleman and CQB carry) and the RE-45 Autopistol. The Hammond is quicker on firing and reloading, but the RE-45 packs more of a punch because, well, it's a .45. If you have to choose one, go with that one, and then switch back if you prefer it.
Anti-Titan Weapon
Here's a weapon that's going to have some punch to it when it comes to taking the war to the Titans while you're on foot, unless you're gutsy enough to hop on and try to shoot out its core, that is.
The Rifleman has the Archer Heavy Rocket, which takes a few seconds to lock onto a target, but then fires a very effective homing missile, provided the enemy doesn't roam out of range.
The Sidewinder AT-SMR is the Assassin's token Anti-Titan Weapon, firing a string of rapid micro-missiles at its intended target. If they hit, they can be quite effective, but they don't lock on like the Archer does. The CQB carries the Sidewinder as well.
So what's more effective? It all depends if you prefer quick rapid-fire power or one smooth, lock-on shot. Aggressive types will want use the rockets, while more tactical players will prefer the lock-on. Try out both and see what works best for your class of soldier.
Tactical Ability
There are only two general Tactical Abilities that can be used with soldiers- Stim, which picks up a player's speed and movement, and Cloak, which turns them invisible for several seconds, making them undetectable to most soldiers on the battlefield.
Some may say that the Stim is a great ability for getting around, and in some cases, that's the case. However, for the most part, the Cloak is a better bet, especially if you're trying to get a jump on an enemy's holding point. Try out both, but chances are you'll probably come back to the Cloak.
As you become more accustomed to your weapons, you'll be able to unlock new attachments to help improve your performance. These include Iron Sights, for better aiming; Extended Magazine for higher ammunition count between reloads; and Suppressor, which makes your rate of fire silent, so enemies can't so easily detect you.
In these cases, it all depends on what you're accustomed to, but the Extended Magazine and Suppressor are best bets.
In most cases, you'll choose between the Arc Grenade and the Frag Grenade. The Arc Grenade does let off a big bang, but the Frag Grenade is way more effective. Stay with the classics in this case.
When it comes to Kits, you have a number of tools you can mix and match between the two that you carry.
In Kit 1, you have the Rifleman's Explosives Pack, which comes with extra pilot ordinance; the Assassin's Power Cell, which recharges your Cloak or Stim much faster; and the Enhanced Parkour Kit, extending wall running and hanging.
With Kit 2, you have the Dome-Shield Battery, which makes it last longer; and the Minion Detector, which reveals all AI soldiers on the map.
When it comes to custom kits, it's a matter of what you're comfortable with. In Kit 2, however, the Minion Detector is a solid bet, as it can help you bump up kills in a hurry- provided real opponents aren't around. Back to Kit 1, the Power Cell is probably the best way to go, as it'll let you Cloak a lot faster- an ability that could give you the advantage at taking back the battle. The Enhanced Parkour Kit isn't bad either, if you prefer to get to high ground right away.
Play around with all these options, and see what classes are right for you. No matter what you're packing, though, you'll be ready for battle.

Good morning. Today is the 233rd day of the year. The Brooklyn Daily Eagle of Aug. 20, 1901, reported on a fight between several Union Street homeowners and the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, which owned most of the trolley lines in the borough. The homeowners had gone to court to get an injunction against the transit company's plan to lay tracks on Union Street. At the time the article was being written, the case was being referred to the Appellate Division. The Union Street line was eventually built and ran until 1945, when it was converted to a bus line.
Well-known people who were born today include boxing promoter Don King, singer Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Brooklyn-born TV personality Al Roker, director-playwright Melvin Van Peebles ("Ain't Supposed To Die a Natural Death"), actor Clarence Williams II ("The Mod Squad") and singer-songwriter Jackie DeShannon ("What the World Needs Now Is Love").

KANSAS CITY, KAN. – James Scott Nickerson, 37, Ft. Riley, Kan., pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of making a false official statement to a federal agency. In his plea, he admitted he was paid a total of $71,734 in disability benefits by the Social Security Administration that he was not eligible to receive.
The defendant agreed to pay $71,734 in restitution to the SSA and an additional $250 to the United States Treasury for a stimulus payment he was not entitled to receive.
Beginning in October 2009, Nickerson applied for disability benefits under the Wounded Warrior Program. He claimed he was unable to work because of "organic mental disorders" he developed while serving a deployment in Iraq.
While receiving disability benefits, he worked full time for the Army doing various duties, including serving as a platoon sergeant while he claimed to be disabled.
Nickerson also supervised other soldiers during this period and attempted to conceal his actual work activity from SSA by claiming he worked no more than 20 hours a week.
On three separate occasions, the defendant completed Work Activity Reports, documents used by SSA to determine if a beneficiary is eligible for disability benefits. On each of these occasions he was asked to identify his supervisors so that SSA could verify his work activity.
On all three occasions, he identified persons other than his supervisors. In the plea agreement, the defendant admitted that on a Work Activity Report he completed on Sept. 6, 2010, he falsely reported to SSA that one of his subordinates was his supervisor.
He admitted that this was a false material statement to a federal agency.
Sentencing is set for September 8, 2014. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000. Grissom commended the Office of the Inspector General for the Social Security Administration and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Trey Alford for their work on the case.

Every year, security companies issue their predictions for the types of issues they expect will impact systems and make headlines for the next 12 months. Understandably, many of them are quite similar if not exactly the same. As such, CRN has pulled together its "best-of" list, looking at everything from zero-day threats, mobile malware and hacktivism to SCADA, cybercrime and cyberlegislation, to name a few, to determine what 2013 will have in store.
With that, here are CRN's top 10 security predictions for 2013.

Prior to writing this letter I just read a Chicago Tribune report titled: �22 shot in Chicago over 12 hours, including girl, 11, killed at sleepover.�
This is another opportunity for gun control advocates and politicians wanting the spotlight to start screaming for �common sense gun laws.� Common sense dictates that the answer is not more gun laws. The question is: �why is this a major problem in Cook County, but not in the lower portion of the state or the nation as a whole?�
It certainly has nothing to do with inanimate guns or the need for more laws. Guns and gun laws are everywhere. It has everything to do with the state of affairs in Chicago and Cook County. John Kass, a columnist for the Chicago Tribune, wrote an excellent article, �Chicago Democrats a protected species on a national stage,� on July 11, 2014. I encourage readers to read this article in which Kass asks all the right questions.

Paulo Filho Says He Will Likely Retire After His Next Bout in November
(Filho pointing out his biggest problems in life: bitches and money.)
Paulo Filho today responded to the Portal do Vale Tudo story released this week in which his former manager and friend Rodrigo Riscada accused the former WEC middleweight champion of still being strongly addicted to GHB. "Ely" told Tatame that he is over his addiction and that he is also likely done with fighting after his
contracted KSW 17 bout against Mamed Khalidov in November.
According to Filho, who is reportedly in debt to a few people in Brazil, reportedly due to his massive addiction to rohypnol and the fact that he missed out on the Zuffa drug plan by a couple years, he is planning on walking away from the sport because he received death threats over his drug debts.
"I'm choosing retirement, man… I may fight in November (in Poland) because I already signed the contract. after that I will retire. I don't want this anymore. I'm kind of disappointed with this stuff, fighting and not getting paid. I don't want people comforting me, I just want what is mine. That's the third time I fight and not get paid. I was the threatened of death by people I owe here in Niteroi."
Now, I've never done roofies, at least not to my knowledge, but maybe someone with knowledge on the subject could correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking his lack of correlative logic is a direct result of his drug use. I mean, if I were in huge debt and the only moneymaking skill I had fighting, I would likely not retire. But that's just me.Read More DIGG THIS

A piece of Las Vegas history is up for sale, and it's a steal.
A mansion once owned by Liberace located near University of Nevada Las Vegas is listed at $529,000.
The star bought the house back in the 1970s. Neighbors said they remember seeing Liberace there in his heyday, dressed flamboyantly and surrounded by bodyguards.
Built in the 1960s, the nearly 15,000-square-foot mansion still includes much of Liberace's personal flair, including several rooms adorned with large piano key decorations.
Real estate expert Iddo Gavish of Gavish Real Estate said he has no idea why the price is so low, but that condition and location could play a role.
"The property is just shy of half an acre. Two oversized bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, and they are asking $35 a square foot. You couldn't build that house for $35 a square foot," Gavish said.
The house is bank-owned and went into foreclosure in 2010. FOX5 spotted several interested buyers on Tuesday, including Las Vegas Strip headliner Holly Madison.
Neighbor Mark Lunn said he has fond memories of when Liberace lived at the mansion.
"He was very personable. He never had a bad word to say to anybody. He would get dressed in his costumes and drive straight to the stage at the Hilton," he said.
The house sold for $3.7 million back in 2006. Gavish said the current price will likely start a bidding war, resulting in the home selling for much more than the current asking price.

Actually this looks like a nifty way to get people into Sketchup design and such. I hope it is a success.
I dunno, the whole sketchup thing seems a bit dodgy. From what I can see, they get people to donate models to them, but seem to be trying hard to keep the model format proprietary (by "they" I guess it's the company who originally made it, which google bought). I couldn't find any freely available (non-NDA) documentation on the format, and while they make an SDK available, it's not FOSS [and is written in Ruby, which is probably not what most people want to use].

Now of course I am sure there are people who would take great offense with a war game using Google Maps... like Google, but its just fluff. If the game was good before the use of the Google Maps then it will be good afterward...

Carlo Ancelotti believes his Paris Saint-Germain side can progress on Wednesday night if they play to their strengths against Barcelona.
The Parisians conceded two away goals in the first leg but were given hope in the dying minutes when Blaise Matuidi equalised to square the tie at 2-2.
If the game ends 0-0 then Barcelona will progress, however PSG will be boosted by doubts over the fitness of Lionel Messi as well as the return of their captain Thiago Silva at centre back.
Ancelotti has bags of experience in Europe's elite club competition - becoming the only man to win the European Cup both as a player and a manager when his AC Milan team beat Juventus in 2003.
Speaking ahead of the match Ancelotti clearly believes his side are a big enough threat to progress to the semi-final.
"The key is being confident and showing personality", said the Italian.
PSG boast a strong attacking threat with both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi set to play as well as the hugely impressive Lucas Moura in midfield.
"We have to be clever with the ball when we get it back. We will try to be aggressive from the first minute and attack with strength", he added.
PSG need to score tonight to have any hope of going through however were Barcelona to get one then PSG would need that second goal.
"We have to think about our strong points, not our errors. We will use all our best qualities", Ancelotti concluded.
Barcelona have conceded 11 goals in their last ten matches but the Catalans won 5-0 against Mallorca at the weekend and not many would bet against them to reach their sixth Champions League semi-final in as many seasons.
PSG will have to use all their attacking qualities to make this an even tie and although Barcelona are devastating going forward, their defence is more than penetrable.

From Iron Chariots Wiki
Reconstructionism (also known as Dominionism) is a political sect of Christianity that seeks to replace democracy with a theocratic elite that would govern by imposing their interpretation of Biblical Law.
Doctrinal leaders call for the death penalty for a wide range of crimes in addition to such contemporary capital crimes as rape, kidnapping, and murder. Death is also the punishment for apostasy, heresy, blasphemy, witchcraft, astrology, adultery, sodomy or homosexuality, incest, striking a parent, incorrigible juvenile delinquency, and, in the case of women, unchastity before marriage.
The Biblically approved methods of execution include burning (at the stake for example), stoning, hanging, and the sword.

Ask 20 investment professionals the three or four things they wish every client would look at within corporate paperwork and you'll get so many suggestions on the "must-reads" that you may give up. Not a good idea.
I wouldn't have noticed what was in Andrew's trash last weekend had he not called attention to it by saying he was embarrassed for me to see what he was tossing into the paper-recycling container at the Cohasett town dump.
It was a big stack of annual reports and proxy reports, recognizable because they were still wrapped in the telltale black plastic that many brokerage firms use as envelopes for corporate paperwork. They were unopened.
"Every year it's the same," Andrew said. "I mean to read the annual reports and proxies but I don't have the time and I don't really know what to look for, and my broker is satisfied with what I own and would tell me if he felt we needed to make changes. … … I'd feel horrible if anything went really wrong with a stock, but it hasn't happened yet."
Andrew – whose children I used to coach in youth sports – expected me to say he was somehow a bad investor for failing to read the paperwork.
Sadly, he's pretty much the ordinary individual investor.
Studies on how many investors read paperwork show varied results, but most suggesting that no more than 20 percent of the people getting the reports actually spend any time perusing them. As online distribution of corporate paperwork has increased, many investors spare themselves Andrew's trip to the dump, but they don't do much to take stock in the companies they own, despite some neat web-based features that often help investors find the information they want quickly and easily.
The problem is that corporate documents are, by design, increasingly dense and dull. Despite the nifty tools that now support online versions, you're talking documents where the company is trying to make itself look as good as it can, while covering itself on all liability issues.
If you simply ignore the issues, however, you are much more likely to focus on current events, and what has happened to the stock price lately becomes a dominant part of the decision-making process, which is the wrong focus for a long-term investor, who should be more worried about the condition of the company's financials than with what the market thinks of the firm right now.
David Trainer, president of New Constructs – a Nashville-based research firm that dives into the documents and reads them from the footnotes up – says it took him years to figure out how to properly read annual reports to where he doesn't miss anything.
The basic things an analyst like Trainer is looking for – reserve and tax accounting are the easy stuff compared to "ESO Black-Scholes volatility assumptions" or "Level 3 asset valuations" – are way beyond the scope of average investors.
Ask 20 investment professionals the three or four things they wish every client would look at within corporate paperwork and you'll get so many suggestions on the "must-reads" that you, again, reach the level where looking at the reports becomes too much work.
Here's the quick-and-dirty version on what to take from annual reports with just a few minutes' reading:
1. The executive summary. Read the top dog's take on what's going on with the company. If the CEO is making excuses or talking in jargon and it makes your nerves jangle, take the hint.
2. Debt levels, cash on hand, sales, operating profits. You don't have to be a sophisticated investor to know that a significant year-to-year increase in debt levels, or a big decline in sales and/or operating profits is a bad sign (as is reduced cash on hand if there hasn't been an acquisition or special dividend).
3. A brief auditor's report filled with boilerplate. Look for a short note, with your only concern being that auditors say the statements "accurately represent the company's financial position." If management is changing auditors or disagreeing with its accountants, you should wonder if the numbers are trustworthy.
Chuck Jaffe is senior columnist for MarketWatch. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. CLICK to read more of his columns.
4. Proxy statements. They're included with most annual reports and if you're going to be a shareholder, voting is the right thing to do, even if you simply reaffirm that you trust management. That said, completing proxies maintains a relationship with the firm, reducing the chance that any "inactive account" someday gets sent over to state authorities.
(If your brokerage firm or adviser votes proxies on your behalf, learn their policies; typically, with a few policy exceptions, they vote in line with management.)
In the end, you're doing enough analysis to have some control, and to maintain the courage of your convictions, rather than just riding along and hoping things turn out.

I'd be irritated-I think it's rude.In your place, I'd be tempted to add a comment - something like "I'm glad you like it -the others I took are on my page if you're interested" which corrects the ownership of the picture while leaving it open for you/her to assume that her failure to credit you was an oversight.
OP here...The mom also just posted on my original post (on my wall, the one she never liked or commented on in the first place ) and said that if I got any other good shots, please send them to her so she can put them in the class slideshow. Um.....torn about that one. Don't really want to go out of my way for her anymore, but I know it would be nice for some of the kids to see their pictures. Maybe I'll see if there's another contact I can send them to, under the auspices of it being for the school website or something.
I don't want to go through the hassle of watermarking my pictures. Most of the time, I don't even edit them. If I do edit, it's very basic software that I use. And I've honestly never run into this before, where someone would go to the trouble (lots more steps) to do it the way she did rather than just share it.

Product Description
AZO DVDThe Verbatim AZO recording layer gives our DVD media the competitive advantage—the patented coating delivers protection that lasts generations and provides ultimate resistance to UV light damage. That's why Verbatim's been recognized as the No. 1 Optical Brand in the World*--we consistently provide optical media of the highest quality and compatibility. When drive manufacturers test their products for maximum performance, they use Verbatim--so why wouldn't you?
Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM), Verbatim's parent company in Japan, brings extensive technological research and development to the table. Core technologies, like the AZO recording layer give Verbatim an offering like no other optical manufacturer.
This unique and ultra-stable layer strongly resists UV light, withstands high laser and rotation speeds on newer drives and ensures compatibility with current DVD standards.
Verbatim's AZO recording layer not only withstands the extremely high laser and rotation speeds of newer drives, it also maximizes their performance. Verbatim paid particular attention to the durability and light fastness of AZO; tests show that it is more stable than most recording dyes and the least affected by ultraviolet light.
AZO also offers high sensitivity for reliable high-speed recording and high reflectivity to eliminate read errors. The thinness of the recording layer is also critical. The thinner the layer, the higher the sensitivity and power margin; therefore, the better the DVD works for high-speed recording.
What does all this mean for you? Verbatim AZO technology translates into optical products that cost just a little more but are worth the slight difference. They are products you want—offering reliability, high read and write performance, high-quality photos and sound and superior archival protection that lasts.
AZO TechnologyProvides superior performance and reliability, no matter what you are saving. This patented Mitsubishi technology is the most reliable, high-quality optical technology on the market today, and it is only available from Verbatim!
WarrantyVerbatim manufactures our DVDs to meet our strict quality standards. We stand behind the quality of our products—and our Limited Lifetime Warranty proves it!
CompatibilityOur online reviews say it for us; we make DVDs that work--no coasters! Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (MKM), our parent company, has long-standing relationships with drive manufacturers who use our products to test their performance, making Verbatim DVDs the most compatible in the industry.
What are the differences among the formats?
The differences are as follows:DVD-R and DVD+R record data one time only, then the disc is only readable
• DVD-RW, DVD+RW and DVD-RAM allow you to record and erase data multiple times
• DVD-ROM only reads data; you cannot save to this disc
What does the plus and dash found in the format mean?When DVD media technology was first developed, the plus and dash formats used different writing and reading specifications. Today, most DVD writers and readers now work with no noticeable performance differences between plus and dash formats. Check with your manufacturers' suggestion of DVD format for the best compatibility—especially in older technology.
So how do I know which DVD to use?Recordable DVD media is a natural choice for data archiving and backup. Choosing a DVD+R or DVD-R is ideal, as these write once discs prevent contents from being erased or mistakenly replaced. Also, to extend the life of your DVD disc, consider Archival Grade DVDs, which include a gold layer that is naturally resistant to corrosion and offers greater protection than standard silver discs. DVDs are also a great option simple data backup. Using DVD+RW/DVD-RW or DVD+RAM/DVD-RAM re-writable media allows content to be added and edited as the information changes.
Archive vs. Backup – What's the Difference?
Reviewing your file types is the first step to creating a backup plan. A review helps you determine whether you need to archive or backup your files. What's the difference?
ArchiveThe word archive conjures up thoughts of old, dark libraries or musty basements. However, today's version of archiving is much different. Archiving digital files simply means creating a safe storage place for important files. Archived data is often a permanent record that is moved, not copied, from one system to another and retained for a specified period of time. Archiving is an easy activity that preserves your data with just a little preparation.
It's best to have several copies of your digital archives to store in different locations. That's why Blu-ray discs, DVDs and CDs are a natural choice for archiving. They're inexpensive, portable and easy to store. Make sure you are using the right disc--the disc name you use should have an R on the end meaning it is write once. A write once disc prevents you from erasing contents or mistakenly replacing data. Also, to extend the life of your disc, consider Archival Grade media that include a gold layer that is naturally resistant to corrosion offering greater protection than standard silver discs.
BackupYou probably leave your digital files tucked away on your computers' hard drive—assuming they are safe. But what if your computer crashes or files get corrupted somehow? You might lose your digital photos, music and data. Forever. Good news—it is simple to backup your digital files and you can have working copies that are quickly accessible. Getting started is easy; it only requires a backup routine performed regularly and a safe place to store your digital files.
BD-RE, DVD-RW/-RAM and CD-RW discs are a great choice for quick back-ups. Re-writable media allows you to add and edit content. This works well for constantly changing information.
StorageWhether creating and archive or a backup, always remember to store your discs in a sleeve or case. This will help ensure they are protected from fingerprints, accidental spills, dust and debris, protecting your files for decades to come.
The ideal way to store discs is in an upright (like a book) position in a CD/DVD/Blu-ray case. Ideally, discs should be stored in a location 60-75 degrees F with 35-50% relative humidity. Fluctuations in the storage area should not exceed +/- 2 degrees F. in temperature; relative humidity should not fluctuate more than +/- 5%.

DALZELL – Communication is said to be the key to every situation. With that, a special meeting was held in Dalzell on Wednesday to help two village departments grasp that proverbial key in hopes of solving friction between community members, misunderstandings of village ordinances and "bashing" village officials on public forum websites.
The Dalzell Village Board's Water and Sewer Committee met with the Dalzell Fire Protection District to ask for better communication before the fire department hosts future training sessions. With better communication, the village could prepare beforehand by filling the village's water wells to prevent the draining of water supply. Also, the village board could better communicate with concerned residents who are unaware of the fire department's activities.
The past miscommunication of training sessions have led to limited water supply in the village, neighborhoods filled with smoke on a no burning day and the school's parking lot facing potential damage after a resurfacing job.
Village board trustee Gary Orlandi expressed frustrations caused when the fire department doesn't notify the village board of a training session.
"If I get 15 calls at 11 p.m. at night because people have lost their laundry to dirty water and people having to empty their swimming pools to dirty water, I've got no way to explain to them why it happened," he said. "If you want to run heavy amounts of water, you should contact the sewer and water department to make sure we're ready to go."
Orlandi reassured the board has no problem with the fire department using water for training.
"We want you to be safe; we want you to get your training; we do appreciate what goes on here; but we need communication," he said. "We're elected by the people, and the people come to us for the answers. So when you guys are doing something we don't know about and we have to chase the smoke to find you to figure out what's going on, the people are crazy."
Village President Gloria Orlandi said when the fire department drains the village's water supply, it becomes a great concern there won't be enough water to fight a real fire, if it was to ever happen during a training session.
"We understand you have to practice, but there's also one more important thing you have to do, and that is you have to communicate with us. We will meet you halfway, but you better come the other half," she said.
Village board member Randy Bernabei explained the village's water reservoir and tower together only hold about 160,000 gallons at a time, and the village uses 55,000 gallons a day for regular usage.
"We don't have the water capabilities of other towns," he said. "Simple as that."
Village board member Shawn Thompson expressed disappointment in seeing the board being "bashed" on Facebook.
"You have no clue the phone calls we get and the butt chewings we are receiving. You may think it's a joke, but when they're calling … it gets a little ridiculous. I know you have got to train, but we're asking you to look at the other side of the card," he said. "I'm assuming no one on the fire department is receiving these phone calls at 11 p.m. or 12 a.m. wondering why they just had to throw away a washer full of clothes because their washer is full of mud or who is going to pay for my washing machine if it won't work. or why am I going to have to pay so many X number of dollars to refill my swimming pool because it looks like the Vermilion River. Maybe that's the side of it you guys just don't see."
Dalzell Fire Chief Dick Croissant explained the fire department doesn't use as much water as what others may have thought. He said the village's water pumps are also always recharging, which helps the water source recover faster after a drill. He admitted, however, the fire department didn't notify the local school before it used its parking, but assumed it would be OK, since the fire department trained there in the past with no problem.
Christina Croissant, who is in charge of the fire department's public relations, said training dates have been posted beforehand and messages have been sent out in residents' water bills. Gloria Orlandi asked that she notify the Water Committee members personally, because not every resident reads the water bill messages.
Assistant Fire Chief Rich Croissant took the blame for scheduling a burning training session on a day when burning isn't allowed in the village and admitted he had forgotten about the no burning ordinance.
He also clarified with the department being a member of a Mutual Aid Box Alarm System (MABAS), it can call other local fire departments during an emergency who would bring in several gallons of needed water to help fight a fire. Croissant also provided board members with a schedule of meeting and training dates, which will be posted on the outside of the fire department building for the public.
The Water and Sewer Committee was happy to hear from the fire department and was enthused with the respectful communication between departments.

Microsoft ended its E3 2013 press conference with a show-stopper, a teaser trailer for the next Halo game. This is by all accounts Halo 5, but Microsoft has pointed out that the so-called "Reclaimer" story won't necessarily fit into a trilogy, as previously announced.
Microsoft had previously called Halo 4 the start of the Reclaimer Trilogy, which was set to span Halo 4, 5, and 6. But a Microsoft representative told GameSpot that new Halo games won't necessarily be constrained in that way. "While we originally said trilogy, we've actually expanded this to more of a saga, so we don't want to limit the Reclaimer story within a trilogy," the rep said.
Whatever the case, though, the teaser was a look at what the future holds for the series. Microsoft's Don Mattrick referred to the new game as Halo 5, and Phil Spencer told GameSpot that the teaser is the next Halo game in production. "We will talk more about actually the story arc in the game and how it plays out; we've got more time to talk about that," he said.

This peptide is histone H4 (1-23) asymmetrically dimethylated at Arg3 followed by a biotinylated Lys conjugated to a C-terminal GG linker. Methylation of Arg3 is catalyzed by PRMT1 and functions to promote p300 acetylation of histone H4. Dimethylation at Arg3 also activates transcription of estrogen-regulated genes. Provided at >95% peptide purity, this peptide was dissolved in distilled water at 1 mg/ml and re-lyophilized to powder form.

APNewsBreak: Ohio groups seek federal coal review
- Written by JULIE CARR SMYTH, AP Statehouse Correspondent
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two Ohio environmental groups will ask federal regulators Monday to investigate circumstances surrounding expired pollution-discharge permits at an agency where allegations of coal-industry influence arose during a personnel flap last year.
FILE - This Sept. 23, 2006 file photo shows coal production at the underground Sterling South mine near Salineville, Ohio. The Ohio EPA has allowed more than a dozen coal facilities' discharge permits, including Sterling's, to expire since Republican Gov. John Kasich took office in 2011.(AP Photo/The Columbus Dispatch, Mike Munden, File)
The Sierra Club and Ohio Environmental Council planned to put the request in a letter to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
A copy of their letter provided to The Associated Press expresses the groups' concern that the Ohio EPA may be reluctant due to political pressure to impose pollution limits adequate to protect Ohio streams.
"Several of the permits have been expired for 6 years or more, with the majority having expired more recently," the letter said.
The AP reported last week that 18 coal facilities' permits have expired, 13 since Republican Gov. John Kasich took office. The letter says a general surface-mining permit also has expired.
The agreements spell out what pollutants each mining operation, coal preparation plant, storm water facility or coal waste storage area can release under state and federal clean water laws.
Ohio EPA spokesman Chris Abbruzzese has told the AP that expired permits are legal, protective and enforceable. A message was left with him Monday seeking comment on the environmental groups' request.
A spokesman for Kasich deferred to the EPA.
Ohio EPA's coal permitting efforts came under scrutiny last year after a 39-year agency veteran claimed Kasich's administration forced him to resign amid pressure from the coal industry.
George Elmaraghy headed Ohio EPA's Division of Surface Water, which issues permits for mining and other activities. He said in a widely publicized email to his staff that coal companies sought permits that he said would have violated state and federal laws and harmed Ohio's streams and wetlands.
He pointed to an objection by the federal EPA that's holding up one of the lapsed permits — for American Energy Corp.'s Century Mine in Belmont County — as validation of his claims. American Energy is owned by Murray Energy, which is among the companies holding expired permits whose employees have contributed generously to Kasich's political campaigns.

Peace requires responsibility
I read with interest Lisa Provence's article on the problems facing Dogwood Valley in Greene County ["Slap happy: Lawsuits bloom in Dogwood Valley," October 27, 2005].
The world seems to be a much more complicated and litigious place than it was when I moved here in 1988, and many older subdivisions find themselves rife with contention and without the financial resources to maintain their decaying infrastructures. This is compounded when lot owners neglect to pay fees of many years standing– a situation like the one that eventually led to the auction of some Dogwood Valley lots.
I don't think that government taxing authorities would hesitate to take the same course. The Property Owners Association Act was written in part to give older subdivisions the ability to raise funds to meet their ever-increasing expenses.
As I understand it, in the Winkleman case mentioned in the article, the Supreme Court ruled that DVCA did not fall under the POAA because certain documents were not on file with the Greene County land records. Taking the Supreme Court's advice, that situation was remedied– but perhaps it will take another court case to say for sure.
The Board is charged with enforcing the governing documents of the Association, and the courts are the proper forum for disagreement– not unsubstantiated charges in newspapers and letters or TV news. Most of the lawsuits mentioned in the article are being brought against the Association, and without the donated legal fees, DVCA would be unable to defend itself.
Everyone I know would like to live peacefully and enjoy our beautiful surroundings. But this requires responsible citizenship– not unpaid fees, junked cars, or disputing gates to which every Dogwood Valley land owner can get the combination.

LONDON — A man seen with bloody hands wielding a butcher knife after the killing of a British soldier in London was described as a convert to Islam who took part in demonstrations with a banned radical group, two Muslim hard-liners said Thursday.
Police raided houses in connection with the slaying of the off-duty soldier, identified as Lee Rigby, of the Second Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, who served in Afghanistan. In addition to the two suspects who were hospitalized after being shot by police, authorities said they had arrested a man and a woman, both 29, on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
Police would not say whether it appeared Rigby had been targeted because of his military service. Although he was not in uniform at the time he was killed, he was said by witnesses to be wearing a T-shirt for a British veterans' charity.
Authorities have not identified either of the two wounded suspects and have not said when they would do so. Officials in Britain usually wait to name suspects until charges have been filed.
Anjem Choudary, the former head of the radical group al-Muhajiroun, said that the man depicted in a startling video that emerged after Rigby's death was named Michael Adebolajo, a Christian who converted to Islam around 2003 and took part in several demonstrations by the group in London.
The BBC broadcast video from 2007 showing Adebolajo standing near Choudary at a rally.
Omar Bakri Muhammad, who now lives in Lebanon but had been a radical Muslim preacher in London, also said he recognized the man seen on TV as Adebolajo and said he attended his London lectures in the early 2000s.
Bakri, speaking from Lebanon, said he remembers Adebolajo as a ''shy person'' who was keen to learn about Islam.
The two men suspected of killing Rigby, 25, had been part of previous investigations by security services, a British official said Thursday, as investigators searched several locations and tried to determine whether the men were part of a wider terrorist plot.
Rigby, the father of a 2-year-old boy, was slain Wednesday afternoon outside the Royal Artillery Barracks in the Woolwich area of south London while horrified bystanders watched.
The bizarre scene was recorded on witnesses' cellphones, with one of the two suspects boasting of their exploits and warning of more violence as Rigby lay on the ground. Holding bloody knives and a meat cleaver, they waited for the arrival of police, who shot them in the legs, according to a passerby who tried to save the dying man.
A British government official said one of the two men tried to go to Somalia to train or fight with the terror group al-Shabab. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the police investigation, would not say if the suspect had been arrested or whether he had made any other trips to the country.
Prime Minister David Cameron vowed that Britain would not be cowed by the horrific bloodshed, and that it would reject ''the poisonous narrative of extremism on which this violence feeds.'' In Washington, President Obama said the United States ''stands resolute with the United Kingdom'' in the fight against violent extremism.
Dramatic video showed a black man — hands stained with blood and holding a meat cleaver — criticizing the British government and the presence of UK troops in foreign lands.

Having used Sabayon before and being tempted back by all the prettiness I downloaded the 3.4f X86_64 iso, the live cd environment loads just fine and I was yet again impressed by Sabayon.....
Until I tried to install it, the installer reports that it can not find any hard disks, which i found awfully odd since it's definitely there and Ubuntu finds it just fine.
Thinking perhaps this was a 64bit driver issue or some such I patiently download the x86 iso of 3.4f to try that. Unfortunately I was yet again greeted with dissappointment as the same problem arose.
Motherboard: Asus M2N-X
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
Hard Disk: 1x Western Digital Cavier 160GB SATA
Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce 8500GT
Optical Drive: Samsung SATA DVD-RW
Any thoughts anyone? I'd really like to be able to get Sabayon up and running, but if it's not going to be possible I will have to wait for Ubuntu 7.10

Nintendo is giving Wii U owners the chance to get fit for free. Starting today, Wii U owners who own a Wii Balance Board accessory and have access to a broadband Internet connection can download a free trial version of Wii Fit U from the Nintendo eShop. The trial software is not an abbreviated version of the game—it is the full Wii Fit U experience. The trial will be downloadable from the Nintendo eShop between November 1 and January 31, and will work for 31 days from when it is first played.
Any trial participant who buys a Fit Meter accessory and syncs it to the game will be able to continue playing Wii Fit U forever. The Fit Meter has many of the same features of modern activity meters, and people can purchase one at select retailers and online.
With Wii Fit U, the workout goes wherever the user goes. People can work out at home, or take the Fit Meter with them to track steps taken, elevation changes, and calories burned. One button press syncs the Fit Meter data to the in-game profile, so people get credit for their physical activity, even if they aren't at home for a traditional Wii Fit U workout. The game also lets people create custom routines of their favorite activities, review their progress and see what their friends are up to in online Gym Communities and Miiverse.
With more than 70 different activities to choose from, Wii Fit U combines fun and fitness in yoga, strength training, and fitness games. For the first time, dance activities are also included. Players can try eight different dance styles, including salsa, hula, and hip hop.

Gilbertown, Ala. Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions visited the western part of the state Thursday to meet with constituents and visit a local health care facility.
Sessions spent time at Franklin Primary Health Center in Gilbertown, which serves both the medical and dental needs of that community.
Sessions said Franklin is meeting the health care needs of a wide rural area, and it's well-run.
"These rural clinics are a very important part of health care in America," Sessions said. "You know, it's something that has bipartisan support. Frankly, I think we might have done a lot better had we invested more and worked more to utilize these clinics than the big changes that we've seen in health care today that's not working well."
"We avoided the sequester just this past time and he was one of the supporters of that, to make sure community health centers, of course, receive funding without being cut," said Franklin CEO Charles White.
White says the federally-qualified clinic serves patients regardless of their ability to pay.
Franklin has 15 locations in Mobile, Baldwin and Choctaw counties.

There's nothing better in life than variety, right? Samsung also seems to think so and is planning on doing just that to make their most successful device to date even better. Starting "around" January (just in time for Valentine's day) Samsung is planning on releasing a La Fleur edition to the Galaxy S III, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy Ace DUOS and Galaxy S DUOS. These devices will essentially have a flower print on both the front and back of the device. Certainly a nice touch and gift to give to a girlfriend or wife.
In other news, Samsung also plans on release 3 new colors for the Galaxy S Mini and Galaxy Note 2. The new colors for the Galaxy S III mini are: Titan Gray, Garnet Red and Onyx Black. Samsung expects these new colors sometime in December. As for the Note 2: Amber Brown, Topaz Blue and Ruby Wine. These colors won't be available till early 2013.
So what do you all think about these new colors and La Fleur edition of Samsung devices? Certainly, variety can't hurt right?

TISHOMINGO, OK - Tishomingo outdoor enthusiasts may soon have a new sport to take up at Pennington Creek Park.
A 9-hole disc golf course was recently proposed by one resident an idea that City Manager Jack Yates says would be a great addition to the area.
Yates say, "it's just another option for things to do while you're in Tishomingo whether you live here or visit."
Yates hopes that this course will not only attract disc golf lovers in Tishomingo, but in surrounding areas as well.
According to Yates, "It'll be a draw for area disc golfers and as well as attracting a little bit more interest in the city for something that we like which is recreation"
Yates says this course would draw interest from all different age groups.
The course would be built along the outskirts of the park.
The city would pay about $400 toward construction and the resident who proposed the project is willing to foot the rest of the bill.

NASA Releases First 3D Images of the Sun 80
mvar writes "On Feb. 6th, NASA's twin STEREO probes moved into position on opposite sides of the sun, and they are now beaming back uninterrupted images of the entire star—front and back. 'For the first time ever, we can watch solar activity in its full 3-dimensional glory,' says Angelos Vourlidas, a member of the STEREO science team at the Naval Research Lab in Washington, DC. NASA released a 'first light' 3D movie on, naturally, Super Bowl Sunday."

Under-fire QPR manager Mark Hughes is the overwhelming bookmakers' favourite to become the first Premier League manager sacked this season after a defeat to Southampton that chairman Tony Fernandes felt the need to apologise for.
The bottom-of-the-table Hoops suffered an embarrassing 3-1 home loss to fellow strugglers Saints - a side that came into the match just a point and a place better off. "Hughes out" and "You're only here for the money" were chanted by portions of the disgruntled home support, who again showed their displeasure with boos at the final whistle.
It was a result and, most pertinently, performance that led chairman Fernandes to take to Twitter, but, unlike so many times before, he stopped short of backing manager Hughes. He said: "I feel gutted."
Fernandes continued: "I have put my heart and soul into this with my other shareholders. And done all we can to give support to players and all management. I can only apologise to the QPR fans. we keep fighting."
Some bookies shortened the odds on Hughes becoming the first top-flight manager to lose his job to 1/3 after a game in which Southampton counterpart Nigel Adkins drifted to 10/1. The Welshman, though, remained defiant after the defeat, which he pinned on the lack of desire shown by his players.
"The fans are well within their rights to criticise myself and the staff that prepare the team, and the team, because the performance was not of the required level," Hughes said. "We have to take it on the chin and ride it out. Listen, I don't run away from situations. I came into the situation with my eyes wide open and it's my intention to see it through."
Fernandes tweeted in the build-up to the game that, "for the millionth time", he would not be firing Hughes and has regularly highlighted the need for stability. Told of the comments, Hughes said: "The club does need stability, absolutely, and that is what we are trying to bring.
"It's a huge effort to bring the club to where it wants to be and we are going through a lot of pain at the moment, but there was always potential for that.
"It only changes if you win football matches and that has been difficult for us this year. I still have confidence in the group that I have. They totally underperformed and each and every one of them held their hands up and accepted that.
"Maybe that's a watershed moment because we can't get any lower than this so it is about how high we bounce now."

Updated with official details.
A PS4 version of The Last of Us has appeared on the PlayStation Store. Dubbed the "Remastered Edition," a pre-order will be available for $59.99.
Sony's Shuhei Yoshida further confirmed the PS4 version and the game has now appeared on Amazon.
Reports of an enhanced next-gen port surfaced just a few weeks ago. "The PS4 version will also include the DLC so you will be able to play 'Left Behind' as well," Sony's Sercan Sulun said. In addition to the DLC, the Remastered Edition also includes "in-game cinematic commentary from the cast and creative director."
"Moving our efforts to the PS4 has allowed us to remaster an already phenomenal looking The Last of Us in 1080p with a list of upgrades including higher resolution character models, improved shadows and lighting, upgraded textures, along with even more improvements," Naughty Dog's Arne Myer confirmed on the PlayStation.Blog.

For the first time, scientists from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston have grown human lungs in a lab.
Joan Nichols, who leads the UTMB team, said the researchers started by removing all the cells from a damaged lung, leaving only the skeleton or the scaffold of the lung behind. They then added back cells from another lung that couldn't be used for transplant but still had some viable cells in it.
"If we can make a good lung for people, we can also make a good model for injury," Nichols said in a previous statement. "We can create a fibrotic lung, or an emphysematous lung, and evaluate what's happening with those, what the cells are doing, how well stem cell or other therapy works. We can see what happens in pneumonia, or what happens when you've got a hemorrhagic fever, or tuberculosis, or hantavirus — all the agents that target the lung and cause damage in the lung."
With thousands of individuals on waiting lists for lung transplants and many who may die without receiving one, the team's success offers hope of shortening the time people have to wait for an organ transplant.
The researchers hope to transplant the first set of lab-grown lungs in animals this year or next, and they estimate between 5 and 10 years or longer before the lungs may be ready to be used in humans.
