Bucs, Hatters and Eagles all enter the weekend 2-0 in A-Sun action
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 22, 2012) – The ETSU men's tennis team opens the home portion of the A-Sun schedule this weekend when it battles two undefeated conference foes in No. 71 Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center.
The Bucs will take on their sixth ranked team of the season on Friday when they play the Hatters, before welcoming the FGCU Eagles on Saturday. First serve for each match is scheduled for 11 a.m.
ETSU (4-8, 2-0 A-Sun) got the conference season started on the right note last weekend in Jacksonville, Fla., coming back to Johnson City with a perfect 2-0 A-Sun record. The Bucs first defeated Jacksonville on Friday in a 7-0 sweep, and took down North Florida on Saturday in a 4-3 thriller. With last weekend's victories, ETSU has now won four matches in a row after dropping the first eight to start the season.
As a result of last weekend's victories in Jacksonville, senior Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) was named A-Sun Player of the Week. Bonnevalle went 2-0 in both singles and doubles action while extending his team-leading singles winning streak to five in the process. Bonnevalle's biggest performance of the weekend came on Saturday against UNF, when the senior saved a match point against Pedro Davisson at No. 4 singles with ETSU trailing the Ospreys 3-2. The senior rallied to eventually defeat Davisson 3-6, 6-4, 7-5, tying the match at 3-3, before fellow classmate Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) finished off UNF with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 win against Daniel Sotomarino.
Stetson (11-2, 2-0 A-Sun) will be a tough challenge for the Bucs as the Hatters are in the midst of a five-match winning streak – including eight of their last nine matches. The Hatters began the five-match streak on March 10 with a 6-1 defeat of Georgia Southern, and have since defeated Cleveland State, Youngstown State, Bradley and Mercer.
In spite of Stetson's streak, it dropped from No. 59 in last week's ITA poll down to No. 71 in the week's version. Stetson entered the ITA rankings on March 6 at No. 70.
Maksim Levanovich leads Stetson with an 11-1 singles record this spring. Levanovich has won his last seven singles matches, with all 12 of his contests coming at the No. 1 singles position. Stetson's leader in singles wins is also 10-3 this year in doubles action, where he teams with Chester Espie primarily in the No. 2 hole.
Florida Gulf Coast (5-4, 2-0 A-Sun) enters the weekend winners of three of its last four matches. The Eagles began conference play on March 1 with a 5-2 victory over Kennesaw State at the FGCU Tennis Complex, and earned its second A-Sun win in its most recent outing with a 4-3 defeat of Mercer last Thursday.
Dean Tsames leads the Eagles this spring with a 6-2 singles dual record. Tsames is 4-2 when playing at the No. 3 position and 2-0 at the No. 4. Tianyu Bao has also been impressive for the Eagles as of late, riding a three-match winning streak having won seven of his last 10 matches.
Last year, FGCU and Stetson visited the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center on March 25 and 26, respectively, with the Bucs taking down the Eagles 7-0 and defeating the Hatters 6-1.

Paid apps are all the rage in Android Market right now (hopefully you have them) and we thought it'd be a good idea to show you how the paid application system works. In short, it's pretty much exactly like the free app process with an added step of the Google Checkout screen.
Using Google Checkout is the obvious solution for handling paid applications in Android because many Gmail accounts are already tied into the Google Checkout and the G1 so it links up pretty easily. A confirmation e-mail is sent to you immediately when you purchase the paid app for filing purposes.
One gripe about the system is that Android Market definitely needs a sort option to separate paid apps from free apps, we think it'd make the user experience a lot better. As our astute readers have pointed out, clicking the menu button would allow you different sort options. Genius! Those who have purchased paid apps via Android Market already, what do you guys think?

In the past, retailers built technology platforms to solve a specific problem—be it merchandising or pricing. These technology bandages no longer work.
As retailers expand and have more channels to connect and integrate, they also have larger volumes of data to manage. Core systems must become seamless, underpinned by exceptionally fast data processing.
In addition to creating a solid technology base, customer-facing technologies need to be seamless themselves. This includes mobile, social and both the retailer's own and third-party applications.
By investing in powerful analytics, in-memory technologies and cloud-based solutions, retailers can start to bring the current multitude of siloed platforms, applications and architectures under one standardized umbrella.

Even though a two-cycle power outage can create havoc with electronic equipment, a three-cycle outage sometimes can cause no problems at all.
To many of us, the utility power grid is a vast system of unknowns. Its performance can make unprotected electronic equipment useless. Why? Because grid voltage values, higher or lower than guaranteed nominal values, have an effect on electronic intelligence processing equipment. Incoming grid power "sees" the equipment's DC power supply, which bears the brunt of any AC grid voltage variation.
The impact of voltage sag. We can hardly assume our electronic hardware operates from a distribution network with zero internal impedance, receives a pure undistorted sine wave, and never "sees" line voltage variations of 55% from nominal. Yet that's exactly what electronic system manufacturers think when they design their power supplies.
The combination of utility- and locally generated disturbances results in no such modest limits. Utilities are permitted line voltage reductions (brownouts) to cope with seasonal demands. Large motors accelerating high inertia loads, spot welding, and other loads act to further drop the voltage level delivered to our power supplies.
Computer shutdowns and sag-induced logic errors aren't the only problems. Damage to the DC power supply is a greater danger. Reduced input voltage can cause excessive power supply heat dissipation, resulting in short equipment life.
Why this overheating? While trying to maintain constant DC output as the line voltage declines, the DC-to-DC converter circuit has to draw from the reservoir capacitor. With line voltage reduced, this capacitor experiences deep discharges between the twice-per-cycle charging periods.
Now, electrolytic capacitors aren't designed for deep discharge. And, they're not designed for the resulting large terminal variations. So, the excessive capacitor charge and discharge currents cause internal heat dissipation, which produces dielectric stress. This condition results in reduced mean time between failure (MTBF).
Also, rectifiers and DC-to-DC converter switching transistors draw high-peak currents, which raise their junction temperatures. These temperature excursions take a toll on semiconductor longevity.
The impact of overvoltage, surges, RFI, and harmonics. Short-term voltage surges (10% beyond nominal) aren't usually harmful. However, higher input voltages can overwhelm the voltage regulating ability. The result is damaging voltage levels fed to the electronic circuits.
High input voltage can also puncture a power supply's rectifier and switching transistor junctions, causing MTBF reduction and eventual breakdown. High-voltage transients lasting microseconds can permanently wreck the power supply and its electronic equipment load.
Digital logic circuits that define 0s by voltages in the OV-to-0.5V range and 1s by 4.5V-to-5V levels are highly susceptible to inductive "kicks" directly impressed on their 5VDC power supply. The power supply's reservoir capacitors don't absorb transient energy, because their wiring inductance (negligible at 60 Hz) introduces isolating impedance at the MHz-equivalent frequencies of fast-rise transients. As a result, transient energy follows the line of least resistance, which is to the power supply's output terminal.
Line-borne noise (RFI and low-voltage transients created by high-current logic circuits) will unlikely damage a power supply. But, relatively few power supply designs have careful component shielding and placement. So, line noise can couple (by stray capacitance) to the DC output, where it can disrupt communications and computer circuits. Because this noise may be intermittent and beyond the frequency range of many measuring instruments, you may have trouble diagnosing the source of the malfunction.
Harmonic voltages of the 60 Hz line frequency impressed on the AC power line are unlikely to damage a power supply. However, higher harmonics of the 60 Hz power supply can fool control circuits. The more numerous zero crossings of higher harmonic frequencies can falsely trigger timing operations the sine wave's zero crossings initiates.§

A report by city's Bureau of Engineering contains the most recent and final renderings of the new and larger LAPD Northeast Division station in Glassell Park. The report and environmental review also contains information about the current station's past that many officers will be glad to leave behind: traces of contaminated soil. The contamination came to light in 1996 after toxic chemicals were found underneath portions of the San Fernando Road police station, which lead to the testing of more than 300 workers. Those workers, however, showed no signs of being contaminated by the chemicals found underneath the former photo processing center, according to an L.A. Times story.
What kind of chemicals were found in the soil? The Bureau of Engineering report provides some details:
Chemicals identified include cyanide, heavy metals, hydrocarbon compounds, and a ferro-cyanide dye commonly known as Prussian Blue. Work has been done to improve the safety of building occupants. This includes filing of excavated areas, removal of contaminated structures, and removal of the Prussian Blue residue.
The report said that some of the chemicals mentioned above maybe encountered as the exiting Northeast Division administration building, which serves an area stretching from Echo Park and Silver Lake to Eagle Rock and Highland Park, is demolished and the new, 52,000-square-foot complex is built next door on a different portion of the property.However, the engineering report said a 2011 soil sample found no signs of significant contamination on the site of the new $30 million station at the corner of San Fernando Road and Treadwell Street.
The current, 42,000-square-foot station will be turned into a parking lot once the new station is completed in 2015.

|Hogwarts' Christmas Feast
|Event information
Hogwarts' Great Hall
Feast held at Christmas
The Christmas feast is held on Christmas Day. It is attended by the Professors and any students that have chosen to remain at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry over the Christmas holidays. The feast is prepared by the House-elves in the kitchens, and consisted of a hundred fat, roast turkeys, mountains of roast and boiled potatoes, platters of fat chipolatas, tureens of buttered peas, silver boats of thick, rich gravy and cranberry sauce. For dessert, flaming Christmas puddings were served, with silver Sickles hidden within the pudding. Also on the tables are Wizard Crackers. Unlike their Muggle counterparts that contain plastic toys and paper hats, Wizard Crackers explode with a blast, like a cannon going off, and engulf the pullers in blue smoke. Inside can be found such delights as live mice, Wizard's Chess sets, and grow your own warts kits, as well as real-sized hats and jokes. Because of the small number of students that stayed for Christmas during Harry's third year, the house tables were put to one side and a table for twelve set up in their place.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Mike Walsten has covered major business trends in agriculture for more than 40 years.
Mike Walsten
Farmland values in the Mid-South rose 5.2% from a year earlier, according to a survey conducted by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The bank serves the St. Louis to Louisville to Memphis to Little Rock area. In just its second survey of district ag bankers, the Fed bank found the average value of quality farmland within the district averages $4,886 an acre while an acre of ranchland average $2,345. In addition, a majority of survey respondents said they expected farmland values would rise during the fourth quarter of 2012. On a sub-regional basis, the bank pegs the average value of quality farmland in its St. Louis sub-region at $6,003 an acre, at $2,807 an acre in its Little Rock, Ark., sub-region, at $4,138 an acre in its Louisville sub-region and $3,082 an acre in its Memphis sub-region.
The survey found district farm income and capital spending were down significantly in the third quarter relative to a year-ago due to the drought. But there was some disparity across the district, the bank says.. The St Louis sub-region showed the largest drop off from a year ago, while bankers in the Little Rock and Louisville sub-regions also reported a decline. By contrast, bankers in the Memphis sub-region reported both higher income and capital spending relative to a year ago. These sub-region differences mirror crop production patterns as the drought sharply reduced crop output in the St. Louis sub-region while crop yields were positive in the Memphis region.

The rules we live by
Recently, I was reading one of my students' journal entries in which she discussed how she struggled with some aspects of academic style. To my surprise, she mentioned a particular rule she had been advised on: never use apostrophes in academic writing. I'd never heard this one before; I'd heard some people advise students not to use contractions, but had never taken any notice of such advice myself. But - no apostrophes at all? This student had realised how crazy this rule was when she was advising another student and suddenly realised how removing possessive apostrophes made the writing less concise and more cumbersome. When I asked her how she came by this rule, and why she had adhered to it for so long, she shrugged and said she'd never questioned the advice because it came from a reputable source.
This made me think about other rules I've come across that students think are absolutes: never use the passive voice, never use pronouns (any pronouns??), always write in deductive paragraphs, always use a transition at the end of each paragraph, always insert a comma where you would breathe in a sentence...I could go on.
Some of these rules fit into my 'maybe' category: maybe it's best to avoid the passive voice unless there's a reason to use it? Maybe deductive paragraphs are going to lead to clearer writing so you might want to make them your first option? But some of these rules are just plain wrong: please don't insert a comma wherever you breathe in a sentence, please feel free to use pronouns, and please, oh please, use apostrophes (correctly, and not too colloquially) in academic writing!
But where do these ideas come from? Some of them, I'm sure, must be misunderstandings on the student's part: I'm almost sure the apostrophe and pronoun 'rules' fit into that category. A teacher might have said "be careful using contractions in academic writing" and somehow it translated into "avoid all apostrophes" in my student's mind. A teacher might have said "avoid personal pronouns in formal reports" and it turned into "avoid all pronouns in academic writing". But some of these ideas will have emerged out of teachers trying to make the rules easier for students to understand: there are so many rules about commas, for example, that a teacher might give up trying to explain and come up with this simple (but entirely wrong) rule. We want our students to write more clearly, so we come up with the deductive paragraph rule and somehow it sticks as an absolute.
In my last two blog posts I have discussed particular rules relating to grammar and punctuation, and both have led to interesting discussion in the comments about whether the rules are correct or whether they are simply my taste. What I have loved about these comments is that they have challenged any absolutes, discussed the changing nature of language (David, I'd love you to write a blog post about Henry Hitchings on Grammar Gang one day), and invited a consideration of the relationship between rules and taste (shibboleth is such a fine word, thanks Allen!).
But what this raises for me, as a teacher of writing is how do we teach these issues without resorting to teaching 'rules' that can be misinterpreted or converted into absolutes? How do we give students the flexibility to work with language and make judgements about usage, while still meeting the formal requirements of many of their teachers? I'm still thinking around these issues: do you have any views on this? Or have you come across any absolutes about writing that your students believe in?

I see some people who don't think critically about writing rules and style just clinging to some rules they were taught in school, first because they have never thought about the reasons behind the "rules" and second because they still have never figured out that well-written English can still utilize creative variance from the rules, which are usually just guidelines.
More or less, if you know the "rules" and understand what they're meant for, you can generally break some of them without creating poor work.
It makes me sad that so much of that is due to how writing is taught in elementary and high school. Rules, like "I before E" and "never start a sentence with a conjunction" are terribly oversimplified when they're taught. Then later in life, people see that those rules are only partially true and think they were given misinformation.
Perhaps worse, the reason for and function behind the "rules" is not really taught. A comprehensive understanding of why a sentence should generally not start with a conjunction, or the simple ways to determine whether "I before E" actually applies to a word or not, would allow students to think independently and creatively when writing and critiquing other people's work.
I don't know if those two educational failings are due to an underestimation of the students' ability to gain that deeper understanding, or a nearsighted underestimation of the real-world value of that knowledge.
Sadly, I suspect it's the latter, which is a failing on the school's part that spells failure for the students later.

My previous professor would tell me to keep the sentence as dry as possible in academic writing (science). I kind of know what he is trying to say, and I agree to some extent. But still my writing is not as dry or concise as my profs. Any comment on dryness for scientific writing?

Thank you both for your great comments - LeSaint and Tony.
I think LeSaint alludes to the fact that the teaching of English is over-simplified and distilled into a series of didactic rules. My personal belief is that confidence and maturity enable us to deviate from the didactic. This enhanced by the knowledge of genre, context and culture.
'Genre' links somewhat to Tony's point.
In scientific writing, florid descriptions and generalisations tend to cloud data and evidence. That is not to say the skilled writer can not make the writing interesting. However, precision (avoiding terms such as numerous; several; somewhat) is required in writing in the sciences.
As a learning adviser at the University of South Australia, the science or engineering writing genres often required headings, subheadings, precise numbering and a prescribed layout.
Paralell structure and logical markers such as 'firstly, secondly and thirdly' were the rules of the scientific genre.
Thank you very much for these comments.

The winner of this week's largest-ever California jackpot was a $425.3 million ticket sold at a Chevron gas station in the Bay Area town of Milpitas, while stores in El Segundo and Modesto sold comparatively modest tickets worth $1.445 million.
None of the winners had claimed their prizes by late Thursday afternoon, said California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso.
"They haven't come in, as of yet, but they have 180 days to do so," Traverso said.
The South Bay golden ticket bearing five of the six winning numbers was purchased at a 7-Eleven store at 2161 El Segundo Blvd. The Modesto prize was picked up at a liquor store. Both stores will be given $7,000 bonus prizes, while the owner of the Modesto Chevron station will get $1 million.
If the winner of the jackpot takes it in a lump sum, he or she will take home a cool $242.2 million before federal taxes are paid. The winning numbers of this sixth-largest jackpot in U.S. history were 17, 49, 54, 35, 1 and the Powerball number 34.
In December, a San Jose store sold a $324 million Mega Millions prize just 12 miles from where the magic ticket was sold in Milpitas, according to lottery officials. In October, a winner claimed a $213 million Powerball prize in Fresno.
In Wednesday's drawing, there were 15 tickets with five numbers sold outside California, but missing the Powerball number. They are each worth $1 million. California law requires major payoffs of lottery games to be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, in which prize values depend on sales and the number of winning tickets.
This drawing was the 16th since the last time a winning ticket with all six numbers was sold. The odds of matching all five numbers and the Powerball number is 1 in 175,223,510, according to the Powerball website. The overall chance of winning a prize is less than 1 in 32.
The Powerball game is played in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Lottery officials encourage winners to immediately sign the back of their ticket in ink before claiming the prize.

Sandy Kossin, The Artist Himself
Dear Leif;
As you know, I was recently introduced to your blog by my good friend Mike Lynch. When he discovered The Bay Of Pigs being analyzed by Tom Watson, and my finding that he knows what he's talking about, I thought I might clue your readers in on some "studio secrets". Perhaps if they emailed you some questions.
Anyway, You have a terrific site, and convinced me that I need my own!
Sandy Kossin
So there you go, TI blog readers... if you'd like to take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn directly from the artist himself, contact me at my email address and I'll forward your questions to Mr. Kossin.
Finally, I must once again express my gratitude to Tom Watson for his unprecedented efforts in providing all the scans (including the Sandy Kossin photo above, from the May 1969 issue of American Artist) and his intelligent, engaging analysis of Sandy Kossin's "Bay of Pigs" series.
Tom's final post begins immediately below this one...
4 comments:
Wow, yet another contact with one of the giants of illustration! I for one, would simply like to hear more about the story in Mr. Kossin's own words. How much push or pull did he have with the art editor? Were there debates or arguments about the general style for the illustrations (and I ask this after seeing just how versatile Mr. Kossin is. What feedback and reaction did he get? Is he still illustrating for work or pleasure?ReplyDelete

Hi Leif,ReplyDelete
I have been really enjoying the discussion this week of Sandy Kossin on your TI blog. That series of illustrations is simply incredible!
The questions I would like to ask Sandy are:
•Would he be willing to tell us what his major art influences were, and how he got started as an illustrator?
•Would he describe what his illustrations tools were, such as did he use gouache, ink, and what type of paper did he paint on?
•The Bay of Pigs artwork looks like Sandy had an incredible amount of creative freedom. Is that true? How was the art direction for the Bay of Pigs work, and for the book covers?
•It would be fascinating to hear any other studio secrets he might be willing to share.
Thanks in advance!

My father, one of the top commercial illustrators in Canada, from the 50's to the late 80's, was really impressed with the Bay of Pigs illustrations created by Sanford Kossin, he'd explain to me, how well these illustrations were composed, to depict the essence and character of the story being told. He was a big fan of Kossin's artwork, along with the likes of Austin Briggs, Noel Sickles, and many others. He left commercial art to do paintings that were of topics he liked most, like wildlife and aviation art, there was nothing he couldn't do. I inherited his files and have files on most of the known and lesser known artists of the last half of the last century, along with a huge art library and many of his fine paintings.ReplyDelete
We were working together on a book of his artwork, when he passed away from a heart attack, and I intend on finishing the art book as he wanted it to look. My father, David EL Ranson, had some favorite artists he worked with, competed against, and trained, like Stuart Main and Alex Taylor, among many others in Montreal and Toronto. He held Sanford Kossin in high regard, and I'm sure, it would've been a thrill for him to have met Mr. Kossin, but as it turned out, the only place where they did meet, was in his work, and that fortunately was, and still is, the best meeting place of them all.
I'm glad Mr. Kossin has decided to pass along his talent, experience and wisdom, to future generations of young aspiring artists. The real masters are always the best of teachers.
Thank you Mr. Kossin, for giving us, your magnificent gift of art, for all these years. It's been greatly appreciated. Randy

Please give those men their swim trunks . .some were poking me in the eye
Most of the rest are okay and yeah, I just hate the four guys mentioned above.
GOSH I SO DESPISE RUSSELL H.!!!!!!!I thought the first challenge was pretty cool, it was something new, getting tribes to elect a leader right at the beginning, then getting the leader to elect people to take part in the challenge. I liked that, and was happy when Foa Foa won. =)Is it me, or are the guys just extremely annoying this season? I hate Russell for being absolutely low-down with zero integrity. My goodness, I can safely say I hate him more than Coach and Tyson combined, and much more than Randy and Corrinne combined. Gosh! I dislike Ben for thinking so highly of himself and being so outrightly happy when Marissa was voted off (the poor girl). I dislike Mike for staring at the other team, without doing anything, during the Immunity Challenge, then goes saying that everyone else should go other than him as he's not the weakest link. (Well maybe he's not the weakest, but he was the most useless) I dislike John for being so arrogant, then falling on his butt, and remaining a sore loser. Alright, I just totally can't stand these four guys.I'm really sad that Marissa was voted off. Just because she dared to voice her discomfort with Russell. Sigh. And I hate to say this, but it seems like Russell will really get those who go against him. Following Marissa's demise, will it be Betsy's turn? I must say, she's like the only smart woman left on Foa Foa, I'd really hate to see her go. =(For now, I really like Mick and Betsy. Most of the rest are okay and yeah, I just hate the four guys mentioned above.ESPECIALLY RUSSELL H.!

Taco needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 35 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
We're a small training and consulting company in the Netherlands. We train people in Getting Things Done, the time- and stress management system of David Allen.
We have created a children's book to have 10-12 year old children get to know Getting Things Done. We want to help them organize their lives, with topics like: planning, cleaning your room, handling e-mail, doing your homework.
We want to give away that book for free (PDF) to the international GTD audience, and need a website design to facilitate that.
These are people who are already into Getting Things Done (see http://www.davidco.com, http://www.gtdtimes.com, http://43folders.com, http://www.lifehacker.com) and of course their children.
The site should speak to children, but not repel their parents / schoolteachers, so we are aiming for a fantasy-design with clearly legible text.
- Design: Young, but Tough design, Attractive to teenagers.
- Buttons for quick downloading of the book (PDF), and the scheme.
- Wordpress facilities, like posting articles, comments, link lists etc.
We'll do the conversion to a template ourselves, but all the necessary design information has to be available in the design.
- The site should be easy to translate (English and Dutch for now). No complicated texts in the background as a graphic feature.
- Small intro textbox that introduces the concept of the site.
- Use the two attached images in your design.
Please ask if you have any questions!

STORM DRAINS: FROM THE STREETS TO THE BEACH - During a rainstorm, the trash and toxins that were dumped on the street run straight to the beaches.
1. Get your mind out of the gutter
Clean your driveways and sidewalks (with a broom, not the hose). Put trash in the can instead of the gutter. Use your lawn clippings to fertilize your lawn/garden.
2. Pull your own weeds
The less herbicides and pesticides you spray, the less you will swim in on the weekend. It all eventually runs down to the beach. If we reduce the amount of slime that goes into our storm drains, our costal waters will be protected.
3. Plant, don't pave
Let the run-off water soak into the ground. Landscaping is prettier and creates oxygen.
4. Don't water the driveway
It won't grow. And all that water washes to the beach.
5. Scoop the poop
Unless you like to swim in animal poop, make sure you and your neighbours pick up the droppings.
6. Report full catch basins
The Dept. of Public Works should clean a full storm sewer.
7. Fix your car leaks
More oil enters the beach from urban run-off than from tanker spills. If your car drips, the oil will find its way to the ocean.
SAVE WATER, SAVE MONEY and SAVE THE OCEAN
8. Don't be a drip
Low flow shower heads, drip irrigation, and low flow toilets conserve water. Repair leaks.
9. Don't be a prune
Don't let your showers dry out your skin like a prune. Shorten your showers. Wash only full loads.
10. No trash in the toilet
String and hair are hard on sewage treatment plants. Remeber to throw them in the trash rather than in the toilet.
11. Water in the morning or evening
It minimizes evaporation, and it's better for the plants.
12. Use nontoxic cleaners
Drain cleaners, oven cleaners, nail polish remover, paint thinner, etc. are chemical poisons. Vinegar and baking soda can clean very well.
13. Oil's well that ends well
Recycle your used motor oil at a garage or recycling center. Don't dump it down the storm drains, or in the trash.
14. Drop off your hazardous household waste at an authorized dump site
REMEMBER THE THREE R's: REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE.
15. Reduce your waste
Buy jumbo-size packages. Shop for products with the least amount of packaging.
16. Recycle once is not enough
Buy recycled goods. Call 1-800-RECYCLE
Bring your own canvas or used paper bags to the store.
18. The new coffee generation brings their own mugs.
Help stamp out styrofoam. Take your ceramic mug to the coffee cart.
19. People cause pollution, people can stop it.
Educate others. Then, they too can protect our beaches.
20. Get organized
Join up and get involved in a local action group. Join the Surfrider Foundation. We have wasted enough, let's not waste time.

NEW YORK — It might be easy to make a movie about Bill Ackman, the handsome and confident Wall Street tycoon whose actions over the last two months have won him as many friends as they have enemies.
Whether he'd be the hero or the villain depends on whom you ask.
In his own eyes, Ackman is the righteous investor, protecting low-income people from the clutches of health food-and-supplement maker Herbalife Ltd. by betting $1 billion that the Los Angeles company will fail. To Herbalife, he's a nemesis making specious allegations about a company he knows little about, just to make a buck.
Ackman launched a second public-relations assault against Herbalife on Thursday, releasing more than 270 detailed questions and mocking Chief Executive Michael Johnson for comparing the company to the Girl Scouts.
Ackman's 40-page missive also questioned whether Herbalife was complying with a 1986 injunction won by the California attorney general's office that prohibits the company from paying commissions for recruiting. A spokeswoman for Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris declined to say whether her office was investigating the matter.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (April 16, 2014) – Coming off a perfect 4-0 homestand, the ETSU baseball team now looks to carry its winning ways on the road as the Bucs open a three-game conference set Thursday night at Jacksonville's John Sessions Stadium.
Thursday – 6:30 p.m. – Game No. 36
RHP Austin Hutchison (3-2, 4.53) vs. RHP Alex McRae (2-6, 7.69)
Friday – 6:30 p.m. – Game No. 37
RHP Jimmy Nesselt (3-3, 4.50) vs. LHP Josh Baker (3-2, 4.01)
Saturday – 2 p.m. – Game No. 38
LHP Jamin McCann (3-3, 4.50) vs. RHP Justin Russell (4-2, 4.22)
ETSU (18-17, 7-5 A-Sun) enjoyed a 4-0 homestand as the Bucs defeated The Citadel and swept North Florida over the weekend at Thomas Stadium.
For the homestand, the Blue and Gold hit .336 (46-137) with 10 doubles, eight triples, three home runs and outscored the opposition, 36-18. ETSU's pitchers combined for a 3.50 ERA (14 ER/36.0 IP), while striking out 20 and walking four.
Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.), Chris Cook (Kingsport, Tenn.), Gage Downey (Franklin, Tenn.), and Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) all look to extend their hitting streaks this weekend. Freeman, Riopedre, Cook, and Downey all hit safely in the four home games last week, while Taylor brings a five-game hit streak into Thursday's contest.
Downey hit .500 (5-10) with two doubles, one triple, three runs, and three RBI, and Freeman went 7 for 16 (.438) with one double, one triple, one home run, four runs and five RBI. The Jonesborough, Tenn. native also earned the win in Friday's 6-5 walk-off – courtesy of Cook's game-winning RBI single – and picked up the save in Saturday's 8-5 victory.
Freshman left-hander Jamin McCann (Kingsport, Tenn.) tossed a career-high seven innings and allowed one run on seven hits to earn the win in Sunday's 10-4 decision. Last week, senior left-hander Jared Burton (Knoxville, Tenn.) made two scoreless appearances (3.2 total innings) and struck out four.
The Dolphins (12-24, 6-9 A-Sun) have won two of their last three A-Sun series, but most recently dropped two of three to Florida Gulf Coast last weekend.
Individually, Jacksonville is led by senior infielder Scott Schaub as he's hitting .412 (42-102) with 11 runs scored and 24 RBI. Schaub is also one of three Dolphin players who are a perfect 6-of-6 in stolen bases. Sophomore infielder/sophomore Connor Marabell, who is also 6-for-6 in stolen bases, is hitting .358 (38-106) with six doubles, one triple, one home run and 19 RBI.
As a team, Jacksonville plays a lot of small ball as the Dolphins rank second in the A-Sun in stolen bases (48) and sacrifice hits (41).
Eight of the Dolphins' 12 wins have come at home, while Jacksonville was picked to finish ninth in the A-Sun preseason coaches poll.
Jacksonville leads the all-time series, 14-11, but the Bucs swept the season series a year ago.
Twelve of the 25 games in the series have been decided by two runs or less, with ETSU going 7-5 in those contests. The Bucs won a pair of 3-2 game last season before finishing the sweep with an 11-4 win in the finale.
Riopedre is hitting .316 (6-19) with one double, one triple, three runs and three RBI in six games against the Dolphins, while Freeman is 1-0 with a save in four appearances. Freeman has totaled a 1.86 ERA (2 ER/9.2 IP) in those outings versus Jacksonville. Last season, Taylor hit .385 (5-13), while junior right-hander Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) allowed two unearned runs in seven innings of work en route to earning a no-decision.
Overall, the teams have split the last six series and the Bucs are 7-5 in games played in Jacksonville.
All three games will be video streamed for free on ASun.TV.
Live stats will be provided by visiting JUDolphins.com.
Live updates will also be posted on Twitter by following @ETSUAthletics and @ETSU_Baseball.
ETSU returns home for a pair of midweek games as the Bucs host Tennessee Tuesday and Radford on Wednesday. Game times are set for 7:05 p.m. at Thomas Stadium.

Original Meaning: Freedom of Speech or of the Press
by P.A. Madison on October 18th, 2008
Summary: Freedom of Speech or the Press is the freedom from government officials making speech or writings they find too critical of their affairs a seditious crime. Under common law, people had to be careful of any criticism they wrote or said about government policy, laws or official conduct out of fear of being charged with a seditious crime where truth would be of no defense.
Before discussing the meaning of the words "freedom of speech, or of the press" as established under early American law, we should first understand why these words are found under the United States Constitution. Mr. Madison explained in 1799, "Without tracing farther the evidence on this subject, it would seem scarcely possible to doubt, that no power whatever over the press was supposed to be delegated by the Constitution, as it originally stood; and that the [first] amendment was intended as a positive and absolute reservation of it." Alexander Hamilton argues in Federalist No. 84 why such an amendment does not belong under the federal constitution:
Why for instance, should it be said, that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given by which restrictions may be imposed? I will not contend that such a provision would confer a regulating power; but it is evident that it would furnish, to men disposed to usurp, a plausible pretence for claiming that power. They might urge with a semblance of reason, that the constitution ought not to be charged with the absurdity of providing against the abuse of an authority, which was not given, and that the provision against restraining the liberty of the press afforded a clear implication, that a power to prescribe proper regulations concerning it, was intended to be vested in the national government. (This argument lead to adopting the Ninth Amendment.)
Framer James Wilson before the Pennsylvania Convention to ratify the Constitution of the United States in 1787 said he would have no further remarks over the freedom of the press "until it is shown that Congress have any power whatsoever to interfere with it, by licensing it to declaring what shall be a libel."
After Madison finished introducing his proposed bill of rights to the House of Representatives in 1789, Rep. James Jackson of GA stood up and remarked:
The gentleman (Madison) endeavors to secure the liberty of the press; pray how is this in danger? There is no power given to Congress to regulate this subject as they can commerce, or peace, or war. … An honorable gentleman, a member of this House, has been attacked in the public newspapers on account of sentiments delivered on this floor. Have Congress taken any notice of it? Have they ordered the writer before them, even for a breach of privilege, although the constitution provides that a member shall not be questioned in any place for any speech or debate in the House?
One big modern error in interpreting freedom of speech and press comes from not treating it as freedom from government shielding itself against public examination of its affairs through use of criminal libel or license but as a right to be heard or seen. Newspapers were never under any obligation to publish whatever someone had to say no more than a university or town was viewed obligated to provide persons with a public soapbox. It is all about government and its agents subjectively determining what speech or publication it considers defamation against government and punishing such without truth being a defense.
Laws that regulate what shall be considered abusive speech or displays, what people wear, public conduct, etc., are not the same thing as government officials or judges of the court exercising authority to criminally punish anything they subjectively consider in speech or publication to be sedition against government or government established religion while ignoring truth as a valid defense.
Freedom of speech and of the press served one purpose in America: To remove the fear of the common law doctrine of seditious libel so citizens could freely speak or publish without license their grievances against public policy or conduct of public officials. One of the distasteful things found under the common law was the government practice of criminalizing or shielding itself through requiring license to publish of any criticism it felt made people dissatisfied with their government or government established religion.
Seditious libel (or criminal libel as it was sometimes called) was generally defined as "the intentional publication, without lawful excuse or justification, of written blame of any public man, or of the law, or of any institution established by law." (Stephen, History of the Criminal Law)
In England, it could be dangerous to criticize government, or peaceably assemble or petition government for redress of grievances because anything one might speak or write could end up being used against them under the charge of seditious libel where truth would be of no defense.
In 1808 for example, the British newspaper publisher, John Drakard, was indicted over an article questioning military flogging, and the jury had been instructed that the military establishment had been injured and "it was not to be permitted to any man to make the people dissatisfied with the Government under which he lives." Henry VIII once made it a high treason crime to suggest his marriage to Anne of Cleves was valid even though it was the truth.
Parliament's famous licensing order of 1643 made clear it was the "defamation of religion and government" that was not to be tolerated. While one could still find themselves in a world of trouble for defamation of religion in the colonies and States, there was no license required for publication or laws of seditious libel against undesirable political speech.
How can we know for sure the freedom of speech means freedom from seditious libel? All early American laws over speech and the press dealt solely with breaches of the peace or public morality (blasphemy, obscenity, profanity, etc.), but never proceedings of seditious libel (NY might have been a brief exception) over any criticism of government or its agents. In other words, the common law doctrine of seditious libel was absent from American laws, while public abuses of the freedom outside of political speech was punishable.
The Sedition Act of 1798 would appear to be an exception, but Federalists argued correctly there was no freedom to utter or publish licentiousness, falsehoods or slander (however, they were incorrect with their assertion of being able to enforce the Act within States).
Benjamin Franklin, writing in The Pennsylvania Gazette, April 8, 1736, wrote of the American doctrine behind freedom of speech and of the press:
Freedom of speech is a principal pillar of a free government; when this support is taken away, the constitution of a free society is dissolved, and tyranny is erected on its ruins. Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.
James Madison in 1799 wrote, "In every State, probably, in the Union, the press has exerted a freedom in canvassing the merits and measures of public men of every description which has not been confined to the strict limits of the common law."
The Democratic-Republican caucus included the following in their 1800 platform: "An inviolable preservation of the Federal constitution, according to the true sense in which it was adopted by the states. … Freedom of speech and the press; and opposition, therefore, to all violations of the Constitution, to silence, by force, and not by reason, the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their public agents."
Some incorrectly argue the freedom of the press extends beyond political matters, generally pointing to a 1774 Continental Congress letter to the Inhabitants of Quebec describing the freedom in broad terms:
The last right we shall mention regards the freedom of the press. The importance of this consists, besides the advancement of truth, science, morality, and arts in general, in its diffusion of liberal sentiments on the administration of government, its ready communication of thoughts between subjects, and its consequential promotion of union among them, whereby oppressive officers are shamed or intimidated into more honorable and just modes of conducting affairs.
At the time England had an Established Church whose teachings was protected by Parliament in the same rigor it protected government from what it subjectively considered seditious speech or publication. Under the Continental Congress and later Federal Congress there was no Government Established Church for which Congress might feel obligated to defend against advancements of science, i.e., discoveries of new truths. Remove the influence of Established Church of England, which was not applicable under the new American Federal Republic, and the freedom of the press was viewed strictly as protecting political examination of government affairs.
George F. Will once correctly described the First Amendment as "an instrument of government," where it "concerns the democratic disposition of public power," and hence, "its protections extend only to political speech."
Generally speaking, all State constitutions stipulated along the lines that the "press shall be free to every citizen who undertakes to examine the official conduct of men acting in a public capacity," and "in prosecutions for publications investigating the proceedings of officers, or where the matter published is proper for public information, the truth thereof may he given in evidence."
Other common expression of the freedom found were, "No law shall ever be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech or of the press; but every person may freely speak, write, and publish his sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of such right."
If freedom of speech or of the press alone was understood to mean the liberty to freely write or speak whatever one wishes then there can be no purpose for the additional declaration that says persons may also "freely speak, write, and publish his sentiments on all subjects." It is too clear freedom of speech and of the press had specific meaning and that meaning could only have been freedom from seditious libel. Thomas Cooley hit the ball out of park when he wrote of the freedom found under American constitutions:
The mere exemption from previous restraints (Blackstonian theory) cannot be all that is secured by the constitutional provisions, inasmuch as of words to be uttered orally there can be no previous censorship, and the liberty of the press might be rendered a mockery and a delusion, and the phrase itself a byword, if, while every man was at liberty to publish what he pleased, the public authorities might nevertheless punish him for harmless publications, … Their purpose (of the free-speech clauses) has evidently been to protect parties in the free publication of matters of public concern, to secure their right to a free discussion of public events and public measures, and to enable every citizen at any time to bring the government and any person in authority to the bar of public opinion by any just criticism upon their conduct in the exercise of the authority which the people have conferred upon them. … The evils to be prevented were not the censorship of the press merely, but any action of the government by means of which it might prevent such free and general discussion of public matters as seems absolutely essential to prepare the people for an intelligent exercise of their rights as citizens.
Additionally, all State constitutional provisions guaranteeing the freedom of speech or press provided for the exception of abusing the freedom. What this means is people never had a constitutional right to ignore laws that defined those abuses such as introducing public indecency, vice, etc. While there was never any justification for prior restraint via licensing the discussion of public concerns, everything outside of this was open to public restrictions for purposes of preventing crime, breach of peace, enforcing public morality, etc.
Under the federal constitution there is no provision for making anyone responsible for the abuse for the simple reason no sovereignty was surrendered to the central government over domestic matters of the states. If one carefully reads the First Amendment, they will find it says nothing about what people can, or cannot do, but only what Congress cannot do.
It should be apparent now how States could prohibit "books or other publications of a sectarian infidel or immoral character" from being distributed in any common school, or prohibit public discussion of acts of sexual gratification, or even solicitation for donations on public property without permit. These restrictions are directed at public order or vice and not public discussion of government affairs or policies made libel.
A little know court ruling in 1891 did what many courts have struggled to do; correctly recite the historical meaning of the freedom in two simple sentences:
And so the history of the struggle for the establishment of the principle of freedom of speech and press shows that it was not ordinary talk and publication, which was to be disenthralled from censorship, suppression and punishment. It was in a large degree a species of talk and publication which had been found distasteful to governmental powers and agencies.
Trial of John Peter Zenger
The liberty of speech or of the press in this country can be said to have been born in the year 1735 in the colony of New York. The story begins on November 5, 1733 when John Peter Zenger published his first issue of the Weekly Journal that included this criticism:
[T]he sheriff was deaf to all that could be alleged on that (Quaker) side; and notwithstanding that he was told by both the late Chief Justice and James Alexander, one of His Majesty's Council and counsellor-at-law, and by one William Smith, counsellor-at-law, that such a procedure [disqualifying the Quakers for affirming rather than swearing] was contrary to law and a violent attempt upon the liberties of the people, he still persisted in refusing the said Quakers to vote….
Governor Crosby wanted Zenger charged with seditious libel but found it difficult to obtain a grand jury indictment against him. To get around this obstacle Crosby instructed his attorney general to file a formal accusation of a criminal offense before two justices. This in return led to a bench warrant and arrest of Zenger.
The trial opened on August 4, 1735 on the main floor of New York's City Hall with Attorney General Bradley's reading of the information filed against Zenger. Bradley told jurors that Zenger, "being a seditious person and a frequent printer and publisher of false news and seditious libels" had "wickedly and maliciously" devised to "traduce, scandalize, and vilify" Governor Cosby and his ministers. Bradley said that "Libeling has always been discouraged as a thing that tends to create differences among men, ill blood among the people, and oftentimes great bloodshed between the party libeling and the party libeled." (Linder, เครดิต ฟรี ล่าสุดThe Trial of John Peter Zenger (2001))
Additionally, Bradley explained truth was of no defense for seditious libel under state law while Zenger's attorney argued the law should not be interpreted to prohibit "the just complaints of a number of men who suffer under a bad administration." The judge instructed the jury the "law is clear that you cannot justify a libel," and the "jury may find that Zenger printed and published those papers, and leave to the Court to judge whether they are libelous."
With law and precedent squarely against him, the jury nonetheless found Zenger not guilty and the beginning of public opposition to trials of seditious libel had been established. Gouverneur Morris (served on the committee of five responsible for the final drafting of the Constitution) would write a half-century later: "The trial of Zenger in 1735 was the germ of American freedom, the morning star of that liberty which subsequently revolutionized America."
With this historical understanding of free speech, our first analysis of what might constitute a violation of the clause will always be whether government has assumed through law the common law power of subjectively defining what shall be a sedition against government or its members (shielding itself from public examination/criticism). If the answer is no then there is no infringement under the clause.
Additionally, it is rather absurd to argue a school can violate someone's freedom of speech when no school has any municipal police authority to subjectively declare speech or publication seditious and criminally punish such.
Finally, opposition to speech or press restrictions for purpose of public decency or order is a political question and not a judicial one. By making it a judicial question serves only to uproot the great liberty of the people to govern themselves under their own chosen laws and sense of norms.

A man who smokes cannabis to reduce stress has been fined after he was caught in possession of the drug.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Friday, May 23, how Liam Bennett, 29, of Lime Avenue, Staveley, was found to have 1.5grammes of cannabis by police.
Prosecuting solicitor Sarah Haslam said: "Officers found he had a small amount of cannabis with a street value of £15 consistent with personal use."
Bennett, who has a previous conviction for drug possession, pleaded guilty to possessing the cannabis after the offence on May 3.
Defence solicitor Denny Lau said Bennett used the drug at weekends to reduce stress.
Mr Lau added Bennett had just got a job at a fastfood chain and would be able to pay any fine from June 20.
Magistrates sentenced Bennett to a £100 fine and ordered him to pay a £20 victim surcharge and £85 costs.

Man Gets Calls and Sues

Original Title:
Local Man Shows How to Hit Telemarketers Where It Hurts
Telemarketers ignoring the "do not call" registry should think twice before calling Andre Lamme's house in Sacramento.
Fed up with repeated calls from stubborn telemarketers, Lamme resorted to a little-known federal law allowing consumers to sue violators in small claims court.
So far, Lamme's lawsuits have netted more than $13,000. Lamme said he's not in it for the money, most of which he donates to charity.
"I have no problem with telemarketers in general," Lamme told News10. "It's the ones that won't take 'no' for an answer."
Federal law allows consumers to collect $500 per unauthorized phone call after they've instructed the telemarketer to stop calling and have requested a written copy of the company's "do not call" policy.
Lamme said the key to collecting is to keep an accurate log. He offers detailed instructions and tools on a Web site he created.
In the first two months, more than a quarter-million people visited Killthecalls.com.
Lamme believes the interest in the site shows how fed up Americans are with telemarketers who break the law.

TROY TWINS TUNE INTO TV FINALEMANLY Vale twins Jo and Michelle Troy are planning a party with 200 friends tomorrow night to watch the final episode of television's Amazing Race Australia.The twins made it through to the final three in the global race TV show.Michelle, who was a fan of the show before taking part in it this season, said she had dreamed of crossing the finish line of the race."If we made it to the end that means we would have travelled around the world," she said.The two airline staffers have travelled 65,000km over four continents and eight countries for the show's challenges."Scaredy cat" Jo admitted to being "concerned" about every challenge."Before this Michelle was always mothering me but I think I really grew up during the race,'' she said.But for all their chutzpah, high fives and their catchcry 'boom', the girls faced many challenges.They've had to eat developed embryo bird eggs, stand on cable cars thousands of metres above the ground, eat cockroaches, continuously spin for five minutes, decipher Islamic text, drive a dilapidated car in Cuba, climb glacial walls and more.There will be 10 screens set up at the venue where they are partying tonight, showing the final leg of their incredible journey.Not surprisingly, tonight's final celebratory bash will feature a pink theme."Nothing can hold us back now," Jo said.Michelle agreed."Now we have a real 'can do' attitude," she said.THE FINALThe Amazing Race Australia's final episode screens tomorrow night on Channel 7 at 7.30pm.
I am disappointed for the twins dumping the Cops, but not gonna lie, I would've done the same in the penultimate leg

Right now I'm happy with anyone winning the race. I just don't want Paul & Steve bragging about it. But if Michelle & Jo win, they'll brag about beating Paul & Steve.

They still passed through at least 2 random provinces.
The way the twins have been treating Paul & Steve (and Shane and Andrew) have kind of turned me off them a little. I might be the only one but I'm starting to find their screeching a little annoying now.

Have you tried out SavingStar yet? I've been using it for a while now, and I love it. I've been watching my savings grow.
SavingStar is an electronic service that allows you to load digital coupons to your store loyalty card. But unlike other digital coupons, the savings does not come off at the register. Those coupons actually have a cash value, and the cash is deposited into your SavingStar account when you complete the required purchases for that coupon.
Signing up for SavingStar is quick and easy.
• Complete the registration form on SavingStar at www.savingstar.com.
• Under my account click on "my shopping cards."
• Enter your zip code and then select "find stores" (My zip code is 31329 however I had to enter zip code 31408 for Rite Aid to show up in the list. If it doesn't show up for you try selecting that zip code and searching again.)
• Enter your store loyalty card number in the two boxes beside the corresponding store. (You will need to enter it in both boxes; the second box is there to ensure you have entered the information accurately without any typos.)
• Click on the "add store" button beside each store that you want to enter.
Participating stores include:
• Food Lion.
• Harveys.
• Kroger.
• Piggly Wiggly.
• Rite Aid.
Choose your coupons and watch your savings grow.
Once your cards are registered you can begin using SavingStar immediately.
• Browse the offers for products that you wish to purchase.
• Click on the "I want this" button under the product you wish to purchase; the coupon is now loaded on all of the store loyalty cards that you have registered.
Keeping up with which coupons have been loaded to your store loyalty card is easy. Under the "my ecoupon rewards" tab on the far right of the screen you have two options.
• Email the list of coupons.
• Print the list of coupons.
Redeeming coupons at the store.
• Select one of the participating stores that you have added to your account.
• Purchase the required product.
• Scan your store loyalty card at checkout.
• The savings are automatically loaded to your account.
What you need to know about the SavingStar electronic coupons:
• They do not double.
• May be stacked with another paper manufacturer's coupon.
• May only be used once. You get to select which store you redeem the offer in; if you purchase the item more than once or go to multiple stores you will still only get the credit once per coupon added to your account.
• It can take up to 22 days for the savings to post to your account. I've never seen it take this long; typically it has been no more than a week for the offers I have redeemed.
• There are two types of coupons.
• Cents/dollars-off coupons. For example: 50 cents off one New York Texas Toast.
• Total purchase coupons. For example purchase $14 in Dole products get a $5 deposit.
• Read the coupon carefully. This type of coupon often does not require you to purchase all of the items at the same store.
• You can purchase the items at several different stores and the savings will track in your account so you can see how much more you need to spend to get your cash back.
• The total purchase amount required is before any other coupons are applied. For example if you are required to spend $14 to get your $5 deposit, you could use $5 in coupons, pay just $9 and still get the $5 deposited into your account.
Track your offers after you have redeemed the coupons.
• When you log into your account, click on the offer to review it. The amount you have spent to earn that reward is posted. It will show you both how much you have spent and how much you still need to spend to get the deposit in your account.

Student or Learner
Ladies and gentlemen,
We would like to thank you for the opportunity to speak today. It should be obviously we will be indispensible.
Happiness is a very powerful medicine that produces a longer life to us. It reduces the stressful that we face everyday.
In other words, if a person still not happy all the time. He will just kill himself .Then, it will affect his mental health. So, it becomes so meaningless. When they go out of the bunker, they don't know what will happen next, for e.g. parent's death, etc.
There are three types of pop stars. Firstly, we want to explain the misconception of people why they think pop star is a negative imagine .It is not true ,is just some of them but not all .If you read newspaper, you usually find that they always join the money donation to help those poor people. It is very meaningful and can give out a positive thinking, too. For action movie star, they can use their own skill to protect us. While the incident is coming out, they can use their strong arm to protect us because they have training before acting the movie. On the other hand, for movie star, their types usually around friendship, be more positive to face the problem .They still can act without recorder, it can also a good way.
Inside the bunker, if the programmer goes in with his tools. He just write the program but do they so something positive to encourage people? No, we can't just rely on it, also, if the program that is produced by programmer and bring side effect, will they become happy again?
For army office, we don't support with this is because it is so straight forward. They don't have their logical thinking that they must give respect to country .But they should think deeper, if a country is a dictatorship, will you still go to that .If you do, and will they attack back to you again? We think that their life is so bored .They just have training but no value there.
Suppose everything destroys and back to basic .There are no computers, no books, no program. Do they feel lonely? The answer is no because there are also singers. In their mind, there are thousand of songs. When they have a live show, they need to memorize all the lyric before. They can just sing and let people leave out with bored so it can be an encouraging tool and let them not to be negative but be more positive.
Thank you

Morning Five: 06.28.13 EditionPosted by nvr1983 on June 28th, 2013
- One of the worries that NBA teams have when one of their players participates in an international tournament is that the player will get injured. As a result many NBA teams have insurance policies taken out (often financed by the national team's federation). While NCAA teams are unable to take out similar policies since their players are not paid (not getting into that debate here), many schools have similar worries. It has been a while since we have seen a significant injury to a college player in international play, but we may have that as Rodney Hood reportedly suffered an unspecified Achilles injury during Wednesday night's practice. Without further information (we aren't even sure if Hood knows the extent of the damage) it is hard to say how long Hood will be out as recovery could range from a few days to the entire season. If Hood is out for a prolonged period it would be a big blow for a Duke team looking for him to provide an additional scoring punch to pair with Jabari Parker.
- Conference realignment has had more than its fair share of entries in the Morning Five, but one area of realignment that we have not talked about as much is the ongoing sports network battle between ESPN (the old guard) and Fox Sports 1 (the new kid on the block). Most of the moves have not registered with us mainly because they have been for day-time TV talent and we are never home during the middle of the day to watch any of these personalities. However, Fox Sports 1 stealing Bill Raftery away from ESPN certainly caught our attention. Many college basketball fans will miss the three-man booth of Raftery, Sean McDonough, and Jay Bilas we figure they will get over it with the new team of Raftery and Gus Johnson although we have our reservations about a booth with that much energy. We will always maintain that there is not a single announcer that can get us to turn on or turn off a game that we otherwise would not or would be watching, but at the very least Fox Sports 1 is making the competition with ESPN more compelling.
- With Andy Enfield's arrival at USC you would expect many players who were interested in transferring become more excited about the possibility of playing for Dunk City West. It appears that all was enough (or maybe it was a move to LA) to get Darion Clark to transfer from Charleston to USC. Clark, who averaged 18 games and averaging 6.2 points on 54.2% from the field and 4.6 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per game, as a freshman will have to sit out next year and will have three more years of eligibility left. Given his production and efficiency as a freshman we would expect that Trojan fans can get used to seeing him on the court quite a bit.
- It appears that Billy Donovan is building quite a collection of point guards at Florida. While he may have issues getting them to play in the short term given Scottie Wilbekin's ongoing behavioral issues and Kasey Hill's academic issues, he should have a surplus for the 2014-15 season as he added Brandone Francis, a top-25 or -35 player in the class of 2014 depending on which service you follow, to a class that already includes Chris Chiozza, another top-100 player. Francis projects as more of a shooting guard especially with Chiozza in the same class, but he can play both positions so the Gators should have a dynamic backcourt for years to come.
- Over the years many of Rick Pitino's books have become the subject of numerous jokes including "Success is a Choice" that became the subject of countless jokes by Bill Simmons. On the heels of winning a national title at Louisville Pitino is ready to venture back into the book business with his latest book titled "The One-Day Contract: How to Add Value to Every Minute of Your Life." The book will reportedly focus on Louisville's championship experiences and Pitino's life experience. As the Kentucky fans out there would note every minute of your life could include four 15 second events.
