Mayor Don Wesely today announced the donation of about 14 acres of land for a new City park along Stevens Creek at 98th and Adams streets. The donors are Sandra and Aubrey Becker of Kingsport, Tennessee. Mrs. Becker is the niece of Bob and Thelma Burns, who lived on the property for many years, and the park will be named Burns Park in their memory. The Beckers also plan a donation of an adjoining piece of property to the south, bringing the total donation to about 30 acres.
"The generosity of the Becker family is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to adding the land to the City's outstanding park system," said Mayor Wesely. "This is the kind of gift that allows families to benefit many future generations."
The donated property will add to the publicly owned property within the Salt Valley Heritage Greenway, a loop of parks and open space along Stevens Creek and Salt Creek. The park site will be managed as open space at the present time, and may be incorporated into a larger neighborhood park as urban growth expands into the area.
The site is linked to the history of Lancaster County. A 1930 newspaper article by the Lincoln Sunday State Journal indicates that the property was once part of a 200- acre farm along Stevens Creek settled in 1858. An inn known as "Travelers Rest" provided a resting stop at a crossing of Stevens Creek for travelers and pioneer families. One of the first white children born in Lancaster County was reported to have been born to the Shirley family who operated Traveler's Rest. A pioneer cemetery "Teachman Graveyard" is located on the southern portion of the property that the Beckers anticipate donating to the City in the future. Reports indicate there may have been as many as 40 graves in the cemetery at one time, including the wife and children of the second owner of the "Traveler's Rest" property. The site is now marked by an old lilac bush and a number of depressions in the prairie grasses.

SHAPE Environments
We're a recently created startup company that develops digital content and applications for the Building Information Modeling industry. Our firm develops intelligent 3D content models for use in building documentation for designers, construction firms and facility managers. We seek to be standard for quality, feature rich, and intelligent model content for the BIM industry. The name and logo for SHAPE is meant to instill how we can take something technical and static and make it elegant, functional, and intelligent.
The built environment product manufacturers and suppliers. Designers and manufacturers of furniture and office systems, HVAC systems, engineering products all need to have BIM quality versions of their products for end users to fully take advantage of them in their models. Our goal is to target these manufacturers and communicate how we can develop high quality digital versions of their products for use in these models that will bring value to their projects.
We would like to develop a one page (front and back, 8.5"x11") service sheet to communicate our services to potential clients. Piece will be printed and send out digitally as pdf.
Ideally piece will be designed to be modifiable to add new services so multiple sheets can be created off same design and feel part of the same package. Kind of a kit of parts mentality. Maybe some iconic way on design to show multiple sheets belong together as part of a whole that can be changed as we add more?
We want the sheet to maintain sufficient white space while leaving room for small pieces of copy and bullet points and images. Take advantage of the logo colors but not be overdone with them.
Design can also integrate 3-d wire frame graphics or rendered furniture models that will be uploaded later.

Hire a Translator
Presupuesto $10-50 USD
Hi, I have a a script for a video about Gemstone mining that I need translated from English into Russian. It's a 1380 words and would say it's medium difficulty. Here is an extract from the script:
'The rough gemstones that come out of the mines then have to be expertly cut by master precision cutters. Gem cutting is a science and an art, depending largely on experience as well as on skill and expertise. Sri Lanka has a highly trained and skilled gem-cutting industry to cut rough gemstones into fine masterpieces. These fine gemstones are often exported as single, individual pieces. However, more recently, the Sri Lankan jewellery industry has grown exponentially, raising its benchmark to international standards and competing on the global scale with international brands'

The entire Revolution squad participated in a community service project on Sunday at Children's Hospital Boston's Yawkey Family Inn
Photo Gallery >> I Video >>
What happens when you put a professional soccer team, a group of children and lots and lots of planting together? We got the answer on Sunday, Sept. 26, when the New England Revolution unveiled a new greenhouse at Children's Hospital Boston's Yawkey Family Inn in Brookline.
The entire team came out for a day of service at the site, which also included a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the opening of the year-round greenhouse, a donation to the house by the team and MLS W.O.R.K.S., the league's charitable arm.
In keeping with the event's nurturing and fall themes, the players also turned over the summer's vegetable garden, potted new plants, painted pumpkins and decorated cookies with patients and families from Children's Hospital Boston.
That wasn't all, though. A few Revs players also helped kids with their soccer skills, while others played rousing games of bean-bag toss in the front yard.
Everyone got to know each other during a big group cook-out, and then the true service part of the afternoon commenced.
Veterans Matt Reis, Shalrie Joseph and Taylor Twellman spearheaded the efforts, coaching their fellow teammates and the children willing to help plant mums around the new greenhouse and then plant small pots of flowering plants for the greenhouse itself. The group also helped create welcome kits for future guests and families at the Inn, so they can have a plant to add during their stay.
By the end of the afternoon, the team had planted more than 100 chrysanthemums around the Inn, and added almost 100 pots to the greenhouse to get the project started. More than 100 families will now also have welcome hits when they arrive.
Take into account the time lost digging up and then relocating the mums that the players accidentally placed too close together in one of the gardens, and you can picture the well-organized, but hilarious group effort.
Between all the activities and the barbeque lunch, the players found time to sign autographs and talk to and take pictures with the patients and their families, signing everything from hats and posters to soccer balls. The families at the Yawkey Family Inn spend so much time away from home, and it was easy to see how much they enjoyed this event; even the players' enjoyment was unmistakable.
The Yawkey Family Inn welcomes as many as 23 families at a time in their spacious Brookline location at no or low cost while their children receive treatment at Children's Hospital Boston. MLS W.O.R.K.S. is Major League Soccer's charitable arm, and has helped teams around the league organize community service events this year and next in conjunction with the White House's "United We Serve" campaign and First Lady Michelle Obama's June 2009 "Call to Service."

Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid is cancer of the thyroid gland that starts in cells that release a hormone called calcitonin. Such cells are called "C" cells.
Alternative Names
Thyroid – medullary carcinoma; Cancer – thyroid (medullary carcinoma); MTC
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The cause of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid (MTC) is unknown.
Unlike other types of thyroid cancer, MTC is less likely to be caused by radiation therapy to the neck given to treat other cancers during childhood.
There are two forms of MTC:
Sporadic MTC, which does not run in families. Most MTCs are sporadic. This form mainly affects older adults.
Inherited MTC runs in families.
You have an increased risk of this type of cancer if you have:
A family history of MTC
A family history of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN)
A prior history of
pheochromocytoma, mucosal neuromas, or hyperparathyroidism
Other types of thyroid cancer include:
Anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid
Follicular tumor of the thyroid
Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid
- Breathing problems due to narrowing of airways
- Cough
Cough with blood
- Diarrhea
Goiter(enlarged thyroid)
- Lump on thyroid gland
Signs and tests
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. Lymph nodes in the neck may be swollen. Thyroid function tests are usually normal. However, an examination of the thyroid may reveal single or multiple
Other tests that may be used to diagnose MTC may include:
Calcitoninblood test CEAblood test
- Genetic testing
- Thyroid biopsy
Ultrasound of the thyroid
Patients with MTC should be checked for certain other tumors, especially pheochromocytoma.
Treatment involves surgery to remove the thyroid gland and surrounding lymph nodes. Because this is an uncommon tumor, surgery should be performed by a surgeon who is familiar with this type of cancer.
Chemotherapy and radiation do not work very well for this type of cancer. Radiation is used in some patients after surgery. There are a number of new treatments currently being investigated in clinical trials.
Expectations (prognosis)
Approximately 86% of those with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid live at least 5 years after diagnosis. The 10-year survival rate is 65%.
Complications may include:
Cancer spreads to other areas of the body
Parathyroid glands are accidentally removed during surgery
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of medullary carcinoma of the thyroid.
Prevention may not be possible. However, being aware of your risk factors, especially your family history, may allow for early diagnosis and treatment. There are some recommendations regarding removing the thyroid gland in people who have a very strong family history of MTC. You should carefully discuss this option with a doctor who is very familiar with the disease.


text: Long Live the Kings announced in Dec 2008 an effort to implement internal changes at WDFW to manage salmon in an "All-H" framework — one that integrates decisions about Hatcheries, Harvest, and Habitat. Perhaps this is a step towards the "Ecosystem Based Management" which no one can define for me, but is already a buzz phrase in the Salish Sea (Puget Sound/Georgia Basin) Conference next month. I note again that the words "orca" and "killer whale" aren't mentioned on the web page or the nice brochure summarizing the initiative:

With the recent explosion of photo-sharing sites on the web, it seems that landscape photography is at an all-time high. I'm consistently blown away by the caliber of imagery I see being captured the world over on a daily basis. Along with this ever-present promotion of far-flung, corner-of-the-world places comes the desire to travel to the ends of the earth to capture the most dramatic image of places few knew existed.
Did you know that over half of the world population lives in urban areas, however? This means that over 3.5 billion of us live in or near cities. Which means it's time to polish up on those cityscape skills of yours! I enjoy shooting these concrete jungles, and with a little practice, you might find they begin to occupy a gaping hole in your travel portfolio. Read on for a few tips on how to shoot better cityscape images!
1. Shoot at Dawn and/or Dusk
This is the no-brainer, super straight-forward, can't go wrong tip. Dawn and dusk (just before sunrise and just after sunset) are the periods of day and night when the ambient (existing) light balances with the artificial light from buildings, street lamps, cars, etc. The sky turns a deep, rich blue or indigo, the city lights pop and…VOILA! Instant cityscape! Take note that you will need a sturdy tripod and be practiced up on your long exposure shooting. Many of these images are in the range of 5 – 20 seconds, so you must take special care not to bump the camera, thus rendering the image soft.
2. Provide Some Context
Rather than just shoot frame-filling city, why not include a bit of context in the image. Take this example of Vancouver. With its beautiful walking trails winding through coastal bays, Vancouver is a thriving urban area intertwined with spectacular natural surroundings. Consider different ways to frame and present the city that you're shooting—these types of images can be especially attractive to magazines and other editorial outlets.
3. Search Out Dramatic Weather
While I could put this tip in nearly every one of my blog posts regarding so many different types of shooting, I feel it is especially true with cityscapes. Many times, we find ourselves shooting cityscapes from iconic locations. These locations are popular for a reason, as often times they offer the best views and vantage points. This means it is not entirely uncommon to come away with an image that is quite similar to so many others out there. The one separating factor when shooting from these iconic locations that we can utilize to our advantage is dramatic weather. This image, taken from Alki Beach near Seattle, WA is nothing revolutionary in and of itself. However, I was fortunate to be rewarded with a stormy sunset, which separates it from many of the other images shot from this location.
4. Compress the Scene for Heightened Visual Interest
Many city overlooks feature impressive foreground and background subject matter. This serves as the perfect opportunity to pull out a telephoto lens and compress the scene. By compressing the scene, we are effectively pulling the background in very tight to our foreground, thus adding depth and dimensionality to our images which gives the viewer a much more three dimensional experience when viewing the image.
5. Use a Tilt-shift Lens for Creative Control
The tilt-shift look has become increasingly popular of late. Just bring up your Instagram feed and see how many images come up with that snow globe, dream-like feel. It's likely that most of those images have been given the effect after capture, but if you happen to have a tilt-shift lens in your arsenal, you can capture this type of image upon clicking the shutter button. Without getting overly technical, tilt-shift lenses let you keep a "slice" of the image in focus, thus drawing the viewer's attention to a particular part of the frame that is different, and (at times) far more effective than just shooting at shallow apertures. Given you use it modestly, this effect can be super fun, and serves as a great alternative to shooting a traditional cityscape image.
6. See in Black and White
As is apparent in this post, it seems most of the cityscape images we see are in color. However, many cities present themselves exceptionally well in monochrome. This hazy late evening image of East Jerusalem is one such example. Next time you come home from shooting cityscapes, try processing a select few in black & white. This might help you to "see" BW cityscapes in the future.
7. Try Something New
As I say with most every tutorial I write, try shedding the above "rules" of shooting better cityscapes and let your heart and creative vision guide you. Try a new angle, a new time of day or night or a different lens. Look for new and intriguing ways to capture your city. Save up some money and book a helicopter for a completely different view of what's below. Find something that excites you, and then run with it. Good luck!

Hope you all had an amazing week and wishing you an even better weekend!
This week started kind of tough, as this is the week I had all my tutorials (lucky me!) and everyone kept pointing out that we are running out of time and talking about revision. But then I found out that I was the lucky winner of the Poppy Lux & Cargo competition and this made my week super exciting:) As for the title of this post, I named it 'chasing the sun' because the sun was shinning for 5 minutes and then clouds, then it was sunny again and then clouds again! I hate when this happens when taking outfit pictures.
I know my outfit is not the perfect outfit for Spring, probably because of the dark colours, but to add a Spring vibe to the outfit I added a floral scarf from Pull&Bear! I think plaid and floral looks just perfect together, another pattern combination I never though it would look so perfect together (previous one - here). I got this pair of boots a few days ago (not the perfect timing, I know!) but they were on sale and they were the last pair and it was my size, it was definitely a sign that it was meant to be:) This is probably my favourite pictures so far as I absolutely love the background, it adds colour to the pictures and a whole new feeling to them! I just love Spring:)
I am wearing:
Shirt - Primark
Top - Persunmall
Jeans - H&M
Boots - New Look
Scarf - Pull&Bear
Bag - Primark
Necklace - Primark
Watch - Swatch
Bracelet - 2014 charm
Rings - Warren James & Primark

Thanks to the age of technology and big data, sites like ThredUp.com are making the resale of clothing and accessories online no longer the privilege of just those who own a Louis Vuitton or Chanel piece.
"We are attacking a huge market that hasn't been really attacked by anybody," said James Reinhart, co-founder and CEO of ThredUp, in an interview. "Shopping at a thrift store has never been a fun experience. Online becomes more compelling. Moving to high end isn't our strategy. We are attacking mass-market resale for mainstream consumers. That's the big opportunity."
Reinhart got the idea for the business while at Harvard Business School in 2009 when he saw his own closet full of J. Crew shirts, Brooks Brothers suits and Gap pieces that he'd end up giving away because he didn't have time to sell them himself.
Thredup started as a swap site for kids clothes before turning into a clothing resale and purchase site in 2012. It now accepts over 20,000 brands for women and kids, from Gap and Old Navy to Michael Kors and Gucci. It also includes a luxury consignment business.
Its "clothing calculator," often called the Kelley Blue Book for used clothing, lists estimated prices for over 30,000 brands, thanks to a 25-person engineering team, "pricing specialists" and a rocket scientist co-founder who built ThredUp's original software platform, Reinhart told MarketWatch.
The company has raised almost $25 million in financing since 2010. It counts as backers venture capital firms including Redpoint Ventures (whose investments have included Netflix) and Highland Capital, which has invested in Lululemon Athletica /quotes/zigman/39660/delayed /quotes/nls/lulu LULU . Netflix /quotes/zigman/87598/delayed /quotes/nls/nflx NFLX CEO Reed Hastings is an adviser.
ThredUp has grown to over 1 million in members of all income and age levels and over 300 employees with sales rising more than 50% quarter over quarter, Reinhart said, declining to specify. He said the startup is still losing money, but "on its way" to profitability.
ThredUp.com's growth and the rise of online luxury consignment sites like TheRealReal reflect the merging of fashion and technology and the adoption of the so-called share economy (Airbnb, for example) led by the millennial generation, industry watchers said. TheRealReal, founded in 2011, on Monday introduced its own RealBook app, which some have billed as the Kelley Blue Book for pre-owned designer goods, based on its database of over 500 designer brands, 3 million members and over 500,000 luxury goods it's sold, spokeswoman Natalie Seufferlein said, adding it's on track to post $100 million in sales this year and has raised $43 million in funding.
Meanwhile, the sharing economy and consumers still recovering from the recession also contributed to a resale trend offline. The Association of Resale Professionals estimates on its site the industry has seen about a 7% rise in the number of stores in each of the past two years. In fact, private equity firms and J. Crew owner TPG and Leonard Green were behind a management-led buyout of for-profit thrift store chain Savers in a 2012 deal reported to be worth $1.7 billion.
Young consumers have grown very comfortable selling things, said Jamie Gutfreund, chief marketing officer of Noise and The Intelligence Group, a creative and consumer insights agency targeting young shoppers. "Their behaviors do trickle up and have an impact on everybody else. In this post-recession world, they've become much more savvy about their spending. They recognize and are very concerned about the environment. They'd rather collaborate than accumulate. Technology has made this a much more efficient marketplace. Years ago it's garage sales and a lemonade stand or a thrift shop. Now it's clean and high-tech and data infused and much more sophisticated."
Gutfreund, whose own 20-year-old daughter sells things on Instagram, said her firm's survey showed 44% of the 18-34-year-olds in the U.S. said they now consider a product's resale value before they make a big purchase, while 18% of the under-18 set said they've sold something on a resale site themselves.
The resale value "is starting to have a huge influence on what people buy," she said. For brands, "what's going to be more important is to establish a strong personality and quality and a significant story."
Indeed, Merideth Boyd, 32, a stay-at home mother of two girls in Ruston, La., said she first began buying kids' items from ThredUp two years ago before she began to send in two bags full of 20 to 30 pieces each a month for resale. Describing herself as a mainstream shopper and not a "super high-end designer" buyer, her resale clothing included such brands as Old Navy, Gap and Juicy Couture. Before this, she said her own used mass market clothing would have been donated mostly to Goodwill, with the exception of very high end brands like Burberry that she said she may have tried to sell on EBay /quotes/zigman/76117/delayed /quotes/nls/ebay EBAY .
"It's so much easier" with ThredUp, she said, adding she gets $30 to $100 on average for each bag she sent in. She now considers clothing resale value when she makes regular store purchase and checks ThredUp several times a day to buy things for herself and her daughters. "I feel like I'm shopping for free."

3. Updates from SAB working groups
- Discovery Interface WG (Butler)
WorldCat Local installation occurred in late May, with a data load of approx. 3M HT records.
Usability testing has reviewed WorldCat Local interface to determine its readiness as a public beta interface to a digital library catalog such as HT. They have identified four critical issues that they've indicated to OCLC must be addressed before it can be a public beta
1. Link to HathiTrust full-text search conspicuously and logically located in the interface;
2. Suppression of WorldCat Local-provided article records from HathiTrust search results;
3. Suppression or repurposing of the WorldCat Local preview button, which currently resolves to Google Book Search preview; and
4. Present HathiTrust login option; suppress WorldCat Local login.
A charge for the full-text search group has been finalized; now settling on membership.
- Error Rate WG (Soderdahl)
The group continues to refine the gating scenarios document (gating at ingest, gating at access, no gating w/ message displayed, no gating w/o message to user).
Currently under discussion is the notion of a "not-ready-for-primetime repository" as a mechanism for preserving materials not ingested due to quality. This could a separate repository without all the management overhead of HT, and with few, if any, services beyond whatever is needed for tracking. Such a model could be applied by any individual institution, a subset of HT members, or HT-wide.
In some ways, the current situation with GRIN and Google rejects reflects this model, where Google serves as the de facto not-ready-for-primetime repository. In that context, the need and timing for developing a separate repository depends on our individual or collective risk tolerance for relying solely on Google to serve that role.
John Wilkin indicated that it would likely be a small development project to extend GROOVE for a new workflow to identify and harvest content for this type of repository. Sarah Pritchard noted that the idea of applying different treatment for different material would be a good topic for the new Collections Committee. John Butler added that balancing access and preservation is at the heart of HT and a set of guiding principles would be helpful.
4. Collections Committee
- Ed Van Gemert noted the SAB's appreciation to Ivy Anderson for all her work in developing the charge and related materials.
- Ed will distribute the appendix that accompanies the draft charge. The committee will be asked to review its charge and prioritize work for their first year action plan.
- Ed will seek Executive Committee approval at the June 23 meeting. He will also pose the broader question of whether this is the time to consider expanding the SAB. If there is expansion, one of the new committee members can be appointed to SAB and also act as SAB liaison to the committee. (This may or may not be same person as committee chair.) In absence of expansion, Bruce is willing to serve as the committee's SAB liaison.
SAB in-person meeting scheduled for Friday, Sept. 24, at Big Ten Conference Center in Park Ridge, IL, near O'Hare. Next conference call: Thursday, July 15.

Coast To Coast AM - 17.10.2011 - 1/4 - Bible Prophecy
MP3 www.4shared.com Guests: Hal Lindsey, Pat Buchanan Bible Prophecy: Hal Lindsey's influential book The Late Great Planet Earth described the undeniable signs of the end times: the rebirth of Israel, war in the Middle East, natural disasters, and many others. On Monday's show, he discussed how current events are now lining up with Bible prophecy in an unprecedented manner. He listed a number of the signs or "birth pangs" that we are nearing the prophesied end times: wars, great earthquakes, revolution, ethnic fighting, plagues, and famine. Biblical prophecy points to all these signs appearing simultaneously, and occurring with increasing intensity, which Lindsey believes is happening now. The Bible also warns of "terrors and great signs from the heavens," as a precursor to end times. Lindsey believes this is related to UFO activity, and the UFO occupants are "fallen angels that are developing a pattern of deception so that when the Antichrist appears he can explain away what happened to all the believers of Jesus Christ that suddenly disappeared" (in the Rapture). The Antichrist will be known as the most tremendous leader the world has ever seen "with supernatural intelligence from Satan," and be able to convince the world that he has the power to bring in peace and prosperity, he said. At that point the economy will be in such upheaval that everyone will agree there has to be a central power, and a cashless society, Lindsey continued. Another Bible warning refers to ...

This week marked the long-awaited Firefly reunion between Adam Baldwin and Nathan Fillion. But what about the rest of the crew of the Serenity? Here are some suggestions for cameos that the rest of Firefly's MVPs could make on Nathan Fillion's frequently genre-tastic cop show.
The Adam Baldwin guest spot on Castle was indeed a blast — although many Browncoats were hoping for heaps of fanservice, but the crew at Castle was quite restrained and kept the hat tips to a minimum. This disappointed some, and pleased others.
In any case, we brainstormed and asked io9's commenters to come up with suggestions. And here's our list of ways that other Firefly stars could make an appearance:
Alan Tudyk
Tudyk himself suggested a crossover between Castle and his current show Suburgatory, in an interview with the AV Club. And we'd love to see Fillion head to the 'burbs for an episode or two. Plus Tudyk's brand of banter desperately needs to be showcased in an interrogation room with Castle and Becket! Could be a lot of fun, with a great city mouse, country mouse vibe. However, we are still partial to commenter Trike's suggestion that he should make a short but brutal cameo as a cadaver with a big hole in his chest. Cause of death? Impalement.
Gina Torres
Murder on a movie set! We know Castle has done the soap opera crime cases, and even brought Hollywood to the precinct (Laura Prepon shadowed Kate Beckett for research on her future role as Nikki Heat). But why not return to Tinsel town? Castle and Beckett are called to investigate a murder on the set of the bombastic robot fighting flick titled Big Damn Heroes. While everyone else is floored by Castle's roguish charm, the no-nonsense producer, played by Gina Torres, is not. She's the disapproving suit.
Morena Baccarin
A court-mandated sober companion to a recently deceased rock star, who was spending his twilight years auditioning young women for the role of his future wife on a reality TV program. Think of a button downed, disapproving, and always praying for sobriety Morena, surrounded by the caterwauling ladies desperate for fame.
Summer Glau
Alexis Castle's college roommate. She's majoring in dance, and her creepy dance instructor describes her as "a being of extraordinary grace." Castle disapproves as she's much, much older than she appears — but she insists, "I'm on the 8 year plan!" and appears to have a late night secret that also involves dancing for an audience.
Ron Glass
A quick cameo — shushes Castle at a movie theater when our hero is caught talking. Would also be open to seeing a lengthier appearance as a Televangelist, just to see him preach again.
Jewel Staite
Catwoman-like jewel thief, who's only attracted to things big and, ahem, shiny. Not only would it be fun to watch Staite play a role so opposite the pigtailed Kaylee, but the law on TV is that all lady jewel thieves must wear spandex suits. (We don't make the rules.) Win-win.
David Krumholtz
When Castle's wifi is on the fritz, there's only one person you can call: Mr. Universe. His motto, "You can't stop the signal!" Hell, Krumholtz doesn't even need to be in the same room as Fillion, just give us one ridiculous late-night cable access TV commercial for Mr. Universe.
Christina Hendricks
So lazy, but how could we not do it? A secret ex-wife that Castle didn't even know he had. One blurry night in Vegas, and now she's threatening to take him to the cleaners — or publish her collection of photos from their tawdry night.
Got any better ideas? Put 'em in the comments.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Regulators on Thursday closed a long-running investigation of Google with a relatively mild agreement that is likely to disappoint rivals and critics of the Web search giant.
Under the agreement, Google agreed to end the practice of "scraping" reviews and other data from rivals' websites for its own products, and to allow advertisers to export data to independently evaluate advertising campaigns, the Federal Trade Commission said.
FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said Google also agreed to license standard patents on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
In this essay we will examine the command that God gave to Jeremiah to redeem a field from his cousin, Hanamel of Anathoth. Particular attention will be given to the archaeological background to this chapter and how it illustrates the Biblical text. Jeremiah's obedience to God's command, in spite of a hopeless situation, was a vivid lesson to the people of Judah that God would return His people from the Babylonian captivity...

If you've been following Inhabitat, you may have heard that our intrepid NYC reporter and videographer Brit Ligget has just embarked on a journey as a crew member on the latest 5 Gyres mission, which will study plastic pollution in the south of Chile. She just started her journey and will be reporting back to Inhabitat each day about her trash-seeking voyage through the South Seas!
My trip was off to a rocky start but I've arrived in Puerto Williams, Chile and spent my first night on the Sea Dragon (our ship) last night. After the long haul from New York City to the southernmost town in the world, I was tired and out like a light. We have been delayed a day and will start our plastic adventure before dawn tomorrow when we set sail from Puerto Williams into the Beagle Channel. In the coming days I'll be talking to Anna, our on-board scientist, Clive the skipper and Dale the boat manager about their previous plastic expeditions — they've all logged a lot of 5 Gyres trips. So stay tuned on Inhabitat and Electrolux's Vac from the Sea site for some interesting chats with the experts on board.
The boat is incredible and outfitted with solar panels and wind turbines and every light inside is an LED. Our bunks are stacked one on top of the other — kind of like cocoons — in the stern and one bunk in the bow is dedicated to the ship's laboratory where our on-board scientist, Anna, takes water samples and tests them for plastic-derived chemicals. It's amazing how well designed the Sea Dragon is for its purpose – it is at once an amazingly earth friendly way to transport people and a self-contained laboratory.
Anna is able to take water samples, extract chemicals from them, analyze some of her findings and send the rest off to her colleagues in Sweden to do a more detailed analyses. The boat also has a trawling system that you can drop off the side to capture plastic samples from the waters while sailing. We haven't delved into the science yet, but that part of our trip will commence once we set sail. For now we are preparing the boat for our journey to Valdivia, Chile — we actually swabbed the deck. We will be helping Anna collect water samples and I'll be filling you in on all of the details. Stay tuned to the adventure on nhabitat and Electrolux's Vac from the Sea Blog.
Inhabitat Writer and Video Producer Brit Liggett was chosen by Electrolux to be a crew member on the latest 5 Gyres expedition. She is traveling along the southern coast of Chile helping the crew of the Sea Dragon study plastic pollution along the Chilean coastline. This post is sponsored by Electrolux

I am totally delighted with the chiropractic treatments Ive received from Dr. Tricia Kapavik at Royal Oaks Wellness. I had severe tennis elbow for almost 25 months and the treatment prescribed by an orthopedic surgeon was ineffective. Dr. Kapavik eliminated the entire condition (and pain!) in a total of four office visits! She is incredible! I also purchased a natural product she recommended for my hot flashes and felt results within a few days! One month later all symptoms were gone! I highly recommend her services and am referring all my friends and business partners to her. Kim Gebron CEO, Nellie B Company

Product Overview
Cutting Edge Bullets manufacture premium solid projectiles that will perform as well in the field as they shoot on the range. Each bullet is precisely machined on CNC Swiss Style Automatic Lathes with the ogive radius, ogive length, boat tail angle and boat tail length held to the tightest tolerance achievable by any manufacturing method helping to achieve unmatched consistency and accuracy downrange. Each bullet has gone through extensive testing and passed extensive quality control measures to ensure that it will perform as designed each and every time the trigger is pulled. Every bullet made is checked with an optical comparator to help ensure strict tolerances are being met. When a run of bullets is made CEB checks every five to ten bullets for proper weight and size they also make any adjustments necessary to ensure each bullet is running true to the center of the tolerance. Every 50th to 100th bullet has a 100% complete inspection checking every aspect of the bullet even the smallest details like chamfers and radii. Critical bullet aspects such as body diameters are maintained at +/- .0001" ensuring these are the most consistent bullets on the market.
The ESP (Enhanced System Projectile) Raptor line from Cutting Edge Bullets is a bullet system that incorporates a double ended BBW#13 nose profile on each end of the bullet. This bullet can be loaded as a solid, hollow point or tipped bullet. When the solid end is loaded the hunter gets a bullet that can be used on animals where the deepest penetration is required, when the hollow point end is used the hunter gets a bullet that will provide unequaled terminal performance. By inserting the talon tip the hunter gets a bullet that has an increased ballistic coefficient of 2 to 3 times the BC of the bullet without the tip installed providing exceptional long range performance. These bullets are also extremely easy to develop a load for. All the reloader has to do is pick a speed they want to drive the bullet at, pick a suitable powder to deliver that speed, load with the band sticking out of the case and shoot a group at 100 yards, the group should be close to an inch. Each box of 50 raptor bullets comes with 25 talon tips, additional tips are available separately. If you plan on shooting the bullets with the talon tips, it is recommended to first establish a 100 yard zero without the tip installed, then fine tune the load with the tips installed. This is not loaded ammunition.

95news.com | Dec. 20, 2008
A public school teacher in Mississippi marked down an eleven-year-old's Christmas poem assignment and told the boy to rewrite it because he used the word "Jesus," which, the instructor explained, is a name not allowed in school.
Liberty Counsel, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, reports that sixth-grader Andrew White of Hattiesburg, Miss., chose to write the poem on the assignment "What Christmas means to me." After White turned in his rough draft, however, his teacher circled the word "Jesus" and deducted a point from his grade. The teacher then explained that he needed to rewrite the poem without the offending word.
When White's parents questioned the teacher, Liberty Counsel reports, they received a response email explaining, "[Andrew] and another child did a poem about Christ. I know we can't discuss these type [sic] of things in school so I asked the two of them to do another poem of their choice."
Mathew D. Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel and dean of Liberty University School of Law, expressed dismay that despite many legal clarifications on the issue, there are still educationl officials that mistakenly believe students can't speak of their faith at school.
"Some educators need education that the story of Christmas is not banned from public schools," Staver said in a statement.
Staver says he was "horrified that a sixth-grader was told by his teacher, 'we can't discuss these types of things in school.' I don't understand why some people don't get it. Christmas is a state and federal holiday. Schools are closed to celebrate this holiday. Obviously, Christmas is constitutional."
The principal at White's Thames Elementary School agreed with Staver.
After White's parents encouraged Andrew to turn in his first, unedited poem, Principal Carrie Hornsby changed the boy's grade to a 100 and conceded that there was nothing improper in using Jesus' name. Hornsby also coordinated a mailing to all the school's parents, explaining that students' religious expression is permitted under federal guidelines.
White's parents, however, told OneNewsNow that the situation has caused them to consider homeschooling their son, concerned about other challenges to the faith Andrew may be experiencing apart from their knowledge.
Andrew's original poem, "A Great Christmas," reads: "The best Christmas ever is when everyone is there. It is when everyone is laughing here and there. That is the Christmas I want to share. Christmas is about Jesus' birth. About peace on Earth. This is what Christmas is about. It is when He lay in a manger. And the three wise men come to see. That's what it means to me."

There are many ways that a cremation can save you money on a funeral. if You Choose cremation you can rest Financially when you arrive at the mortuary. It is the most expensive part of a funeral. If that expense goes away it leaves room for more choices for memorial services, funeral video, web casting and extended Celebration(s) of Life. It also leaves more for creativity in funeral personalization and funeral cost.
Even so, she said many consumers often use the savings from the cremation to buy other arrangements for their loved ones.
"They may make reductions in other areas to allow for flowers, video tributes and similar types of things," she said. "If they do not have a casket burial, they may have some funds to allow for other memorial items."
Stephen Gehlert, executive director of the Ohio Funeral Directors Association, agrees. "It's all about what an individual chooses," he said. "A funeral director's job is to make sure you are comfortable with your decisions."

My good buddy Kara has inspired me to sign up for a few swaps lately, so I thought I'd better post a little bit so the other participants know I'm still breathing! One of the swaps is a handmade holiday swap hosted by Kara herself! I have big, exciting knitting AND sewing plans for my swap partner, but I'm not ready to show anything yet. The second swap is a crafty Christmas swap among my Green Club peeps, and I have AMAZING AWESOME-NESS planned for that swap partner, too... but I have to keep that hidden just in case she knows who she is.
The last swap is a fat quarter fabric swap, and I got my color assignment last week! I have to send in 8 orange fat quarters and I'll get one fat quarter of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, and gray in return! I'm super excited about some mystery rainbow FQs! (My other two orange FQ's are on their way even so now as we speak!)
I've been a teensy bit obsessed with this drawstring project bag tutorial lately, with EIGHT finished project bags, FIVE more in progress, and TWO more cut out and ready to start. I think I might be done after that. (There are only six in this picture because two of the finished bags were snatched up by my mom the last time she was in town... except now I'm thinking maybe I've finished NINE bags, because I think she actually snatched up three of them...)
There are plenty of quilts in the planning, in-progress, and finished stages, as well. Along with at least two quilts that are in the planning/gathering fabric stages, I recently finished a 46" x 66" quilt...
And the top for my pirate monkey quilt (86" x 86") is finally finished! I have to piece the back together and get it to my favorite long-arm quilter on Thursday this week. I'm SO excited about this quilt! Chaka has already gotten some practice sleeping on it, and it seems to have passed inspection.
To completely mix things up, I also threw a cross stitch project into the rotation! Kara (Again! I have got to stop following her around!) inspired me with some fun, modern cross stitch projects, and I had to try it for myself. I found this awesome Etsy shop and went to town. Here's my first finished cross stitch project in more than ten years! I already have plans for more cross stitch excitement. (Just don't tell Wendy!)
Phew! Just imagine what I'll be able to accomplish when I'm NOT in grad school anymore!! Just kidding... I'm planning on getting back together with my couch after next March... :)

Weekly AUDIO NEWS for Oct. 29, 2003
iTunes for Windows Splash - Apple announced that PC users have downloaded over one million copies of the new iTunes for Windows digital jukebox software in just 3 1/2 days. Over one million songs were purchased and downloaded in the same period. Fourteen million songs have been downloaded since the service began for Mac OSX users only earlier this year - making it the No. 1 download music service in the world.
Third Satellite TV Service Coming - VOOM is the new direct broadcast satellite service to be offered - surprisingly - by Cablevision Systems. Their chief believes there are different roles for both wired and satellite services - the first for standard-def programs, pay-per-view and interactive services and satellite for one-way products such as HDTV. There is a tie-in with Sears stores. The launch, which was scheduled for this week at the latest (but no further information forthcoming), will introduce 28 to 30 hi-def channels, of which 21 will be exclusive to VOOM. Select channels include HD Rave - the first HD music channel, HD Ultra - a fashion/home/travel channel, and HD Monsters for horror in hi-def.
Increasing Hi-Res Release Activity - Universal Music has new SACD releases by rap and soul artists as well as Elton Johns Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Coming up are two by George Thorogood, The Whos rock opera Tommy, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Elvis Costello, John Haitt and Randy Newman (the Seabiscuit soundtrack). Sony Music has SACDs by Kelly Rowland and Barbra Streisand (The Movie Album), David Bowie (Reality), James Carter (Gardenias for Lady Day), and Volodos (Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto & Rachmaninoff solo works). Artist House Records has released an SACD by San Francisco jazz composer/pianist Vijay Iyer titled Blood Sutra. Chesky Records announced they are reinstating their DVD Audio releases. David Chesky said they had not been so successful selling their first DVD-A discs (such as the superb Bucky Pizzarelli), but felt the market had moved forward since their last release and hope to issue their releases in both hi-res formats after this. On the other hi-res front - vinyl - Classic Records has delayed until further notice their planned Bob Dylan Signature LP Series, which was to have been 15 Dylan titles on Quiex 200-gram vinyl. They said Sony is holding up licensing due to considering developing the vinyl marketplace.
Big-time CD Copy-Protection Next - Like it or not major labels such as Arista and BMG have announced beginning introduction of copy-protection on some of their standard CDs. They say the protected discs will play anywhere an Enhanced CD will play (but those dont play everywhere). They are also incompatible with Apples iPod - requiring Microsofts Windows Media instead - meaning that both PC and Mac owners of iPods will be unable to copy music from new CDs they have purchased to their iPod for mobile listening. Thankxalot, music industry...

Arguably, LA has never been as much of a steak town as it is now. New steakhouses seem to open daily. In a City that was once known for healthy cuisine, we have gone mad for cow. There are hip new steakhouses that look more like five star temples of haute cuisine, retro-red booth locales that pipe in Sinatra and a few legitimate holdovers, like Taylor's, which hung on long enough to be there for the rebirth.
Personally, I'm a Mastro's guy. I've been to Cut, and no doubt about it, the wagyu beef is a thing of beauty. A perfect bite of meat, fat and juice...almost like foie gras in steak-form (and similarly priced). But the run of the mill, non-wagyu steaks at Cut are just good.
At Mastro's, I have never had a good steak, they are all superb. I've never had one that was not perfectly cooked and never had one which did not make me think, upon biting into it, that this is the place for steak in LA, or maybe anywhere.
My worship of Mastro's mastery of meat was doubly enhanced recently when I ordered the immense double-cut porterhouse. The porterhouse, of course is the T-bone which includes a fillet on one side and a New York strip on the other. At Mastro's the double-cut porterhouse comes pre-sliced. Normally, I would be wary of the porterhouse because I like my fillet rare and the fattier New York strip more of a medium rare, but knowing Mastro's penchant for cooking a steak, we ordered it anyway - medium rare. True to form, it was excellent. The fillet was red and tender, the fat on the strip was cooked through - how do they do that?
The Mastro's porterhouse is one of those things that is so good that you don't want to stop tasting it, no matter how full you get; the porterhouse easily feeds two (we're big eaters and two of us couldn't finish the thing).
Add to the excellent steaks a perfectly crafted Woodford Reserve Manhattan, creamed spinach and fried onions and the excellent butter cake for dessert, served, as all desserts are, with a completely gratuitous bowl of whipped cream, and you have the makings of a gluttonous orgy rarely seen in the old, health-conscious LA.
