Paul George scored 25 points to lead all five Indiana starters in double figures and the Pacers won their fourth straight with a 112-104 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.
Roy Hibbert scored 20, Lance Stephenson 16, George Hill 15 and David West 14 for the Pacers.
Indiana's seventh victory in eight games lifted them a half-game ahead of idle New York for second in the Eastern Conference.
Goran Dragic, who sat out the previous two games for a rest, had 21 points and nine assists for the Suns before fouling out with 1:10 to play.
Indiana made 34 of 46 free throws, its season high in makes and attempts.
The Suns, losers of six in a row, were outscored 10-3 over the final three minutes after cutting the lead to 102-101.
Markieff Morris added 18 for the Suns, who had seven in double figures.
Down by 86-76 after three quarters, the Suns cut it to 97-94 on five points by Dragic, a fast-break layup after a long pass from Jermaine O'Neal, followed by a 3-pointer with 5:08 to play.
Dragic's spinning layup from the baseline cut it to 99-98 with 3:43 left, then George was fouled by Wesley Johnson on a 3-point try and made all three from the line to put the Pacers up 102-98 with 3:28 to go.
But O'Neal, who had missed three of four games with a calf strain, converted a three-point play to cut it to 102-101 3:10 from the finish.
Indiana pulled away from the line.
West made two free throws with 2:46 to go, George sank two more with 1:50 to play and Stephenson made one of two with 1:10 left, leaving the Pacers up 107-101. West's 15-footer, Indiana's lone field goal over the final 4 1/2 minutes, made it 109-101 with 34.6 seconds to play.
After making just six of their first 15 free throw tries, Indiana made 28 of 31 the rest of the way.
The Suns outscored Indiana 10-4, six by Luis Scola, to start the second half, cutting the lead to 61-59 and were down 64-63 on Morris' two free throws with 7:54 to play in the third. Five straight points, the last two on free throws by Hill, boosted the lead back to 69-63, but Morris' three straight inside baskets in a 6-2 Phoenix spurt cut it to 71-69.
The Pacers pulled away to take a 78-69 lead on George's 3. D.J. Augustin's two free throws with 2:22 left in the period gave Indiana its first double-digit lead of the game, 82-71.
Indiana's 12-0 first-quarter run put the Pacers ahead for good but they never led by more than 11.
NOTES: The Pacers wrap up their four-game trip to the West in Los Angeles on Monday against the Clippers. ... The Suns are 2-12 since a three-game winning streak Feb. 26-March 1. ... West played his second straight game after missing six in a row with a lower back sprain.


text: The group of dolphins currently feeding in New Jersey's Shrewsbury River has been creating quite a buzz among residents and visitors of the New Jersey shore. The National Aquarium's Marine Animal Rescue Program is a part of the North East Region Stranding Network, which is working closely with NOAA (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) on the situation. Experts at the Aquarium can report the following: Biologists from NOAA have been able to keep a close watch on the pod of dolphins, which were identified earlier this week as coastal bottlenose dolphins. NOAA experts are continuing to evaluate the group but have reported that the biggest threat to them at the moment is behavior of humans eager to commune with them. The animals appear to be in good body condition, they are socializing, and do not appear to be in distress. And at this time, NOAA has no definitive plans to move or attempt to herd the dolphins, although it is preparing to do so if it becomes necessary. "It's a last resort," said Teri Rowles, director of NOAA's National Marine Mammal Health and Stranding Response Program. Such a process is complicated, usually has mixed success, and is highly stressful for the animals sometimes resulting in death." The National Aquarium reminds beach and shore travelers to be cautious and considerate of animals in these situations. Coastal bottlenose dolphins are accustomed to human activities in their habitat, but encounters can be risky for both people and the animals. We urge people to take advantage of the chance to see and appreciate these animals, but to do so from at least 50 yards away by using binoculars, spotting scopes, or telephoto zoom lens to get a closer look! Federal law prohibits interference with the animal's natural behavior, pursuant the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. Harassment is punishable by fines of up to $10,000. Most importantly, if you come into contact with a marine animal notify the appropriate authorities: the U.S. Coast Guard, your local Aquarium, or fire or police departments.

Curt Wu and Steve Marotta are software engineers at Charles River Analytics (www.cra.com).
Developers using third-party applications or libraries often face the challenge of customizing that software to suit the task at hand. Sometimes the application performs exactly as designed, but still doesn't quite do what is required in a unique situation, and no amount of parameter tweaking does the trick. In this case, customization can be especially challenging if the third-party application is not open-source and offers limited extension points.
But even if source code is available, there may be good reasons not to modify it. For instance, one reason to use third-party code is to avoid reinventing the wheel and to automatically get that fancy new tire upgrade when Wheel 2.0 is released. Direct modification of code means that you've created a fork in the source code, and customizations will need to be manually merged with any subsequent versions that are released. Keeping the original application intact generally provides greater flexibility in the deployment of any modified code. For example, if the new code can be kept distinct and decoupled from the original application source code, then it is easier to port these changes to other applications. This let developers apply the same behavioral changes to multiple applications from different vendors. In this case, any additional code must be inserted in such a way that the original application will execute as-is, blissfully unaware that its behavior has been modified.
For a concrete example, let's examine the use of sockets in Java. Suppose we wanted to modify how a Java application communicates over a network to simulate low bandwidth or poor connection quality. We can achieve this by modifying or replacing Java's Socket class. Although inter-host communication between Java applications does not require Java Sockets, in practice, nearly all such communication leverages the Socket library found in the JRE's java.net package -- either directly or indirectly (e.g., through RMI classes). To slow down communications and simulate a slower network, we want to introduce a carefully controlled delay into each socket data stream. How can we do this without access to the application source code? There are several possible ways to do this, and we will discuss two approaches that we found useful for our modified socket problem.
By Your Own Bootstraps
One point of insertion of new code for an application is at its boundaries -- where it interfaces with external libraries. If the changes we would like to make can be made within these external libraries (e.g., communication over sockets), then replacing an external library with one that incorporates customized code would modify behavior without modifying the main application. Provided you have the means to modify and rebuild it, replacing a typical library found on the classpath is straightforward. However, the Socket class is part of the JRE in rt.jar, and modifying the JRE creates some complications.
If we want to modify a class in the JRE, there is a direct approach and a more subtle replacement approach. The direct approach is to build a custom JRE by, for example, replacing the socket-related classes within rt.jar. While this works, replacing the JRE limits the portability of the solution to other environments because multiple JREs would need to be maintained. A similar but more maintainable solution is to modify a JRE at runtime by adding a specific class to the bootstrap classloader that supersedes the behavior of the same class within rt.jar. For those unfamiliar with the bootstrap classloader, it is the primordial classloader that loads the JRE classes and is distinct from the system classloader, which loads classes from the classpath and is lower in the classpath hierarchy.
For our socket modification example, we would create a modified Socket class with the same name and interface as the original Socket but with different implementation that meets our needs. The name and interface must be identical because this new Socket will be a drop-in replacement. Science-fiction fans may recognize this as the "evil twin" approach, where clients of the Socket are unaware that beneath the same familiar exterior lurks a replacement implementation. Once we have the modified Socket, we simply prepend this new class to the bootstrap classpath, and the new Socket essentially replaces the original Socket for any code within the JVM that invokes it (see Example 1). Note that the new class must be prepended to the bootstrap classpath, so it takes precedence over the original Socket class found later in the path in rt.jar.
java -cp thirdparty.jar -Xbootclasspath/p:custom.jar; com.cra.MyApp
The downside of this modified JRE approach is that the changes to the libraries are JVM-wide and thus all code is stuck using these modified libraries. Also, because the modified code must be on the bootstrap classloader, all code that supports the modification (i.e., dependencies) must also be loaded by this classloader. If the application requires a custom classloader or is otherwise incompatible with the bootstrap classloader, and the modified code depends on code within the application, then this may not be feasible. Finally, the issue that is possibly most troubling is that we are modifying the internals of the JRE. Because we are replacing the implementation of classes in the JRE, any solution is highly dependent on the JRE version, and thus brittle. To support multiple JREs, we would need to maintain an entire family of evil twins, and any future changes to our modified code would need to be duplicated across the entire family.

SIP trunking primer
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) trunking is the use of VoIP to help connect a traditional PBX to the Internet. SIP trunking can reduce communication costs and combine voice, video and data in a single line, allowing for unified communications capabilities. Learn about using SIP trunking services in this primer.
Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP, is a signaling protocol for initiating multimedia usage in a network, including video, voice or chat. SIP establishes the end system to be used and handles call transfer and termination. An important aspect of SIP is SIP trunking, a use of VoIP that can minimize communication costs and maximize network usage with unified communications.
What is SIP trunking and why is it important?
SIP trunking is a service provided by an Internet telephony service provider (ITSP) that uses SIP to connect a traditional private branch exchange (PBX) to the Internet. In traditional telephony, the phone company delivers services over a "trunk" that connects the PBX to the public-switched telephone network (PSTN), and this trunk carries the phone calls from the corporation to the public. With SIP trunking, the physical wires in the trunk are replaced with a converged voice and data network. This eliminates the need for an expensive media gateway and reduces long-distance charges. SIP trunking combines voice, video and data in a single line, eliminating the need for a separate physical medium for each one.
SIP trunking consists of three main elements: the ITSP or SIP trunking provider, the IP PBX, and a border element, which facilitates connectivity among an enterprise IP network, the PSTN, and an external IP-carrier network. The border element, which could be a SIP-capable firewall or a switch to transfer calls in and out of the PSTN, is generally managed by the service provider.
For example, a Los Angeles-based customer service rep at a company employing SIP trunking places a phone call to a client in Chicago. The call is then converted to an IP call (or originates as one) before it leaves the office, travels mostly over the service provider's IP network, then drops onto the PSTN at the termination point. Because most of the call traveled over the service provider's IP network rather than the PSTN, traditional long-distance calling charges won't apply, and the cost of the call will be a fraction of what it would have been if placed over a traditional PBX.
The benefits of SIP trunking
Thanks to this level of cost savings, SIP trunking benefits any enterprise with a PBX that connects all internal users and where the employees make long-distance calls on a regular basis. With the commonly used ISDN, each circuit has a maximum of 30 channels. But with SIP trunking, there is flexibility in line usage because companies don't have to buy capacities -- they can have as many or as few users as they want.
Companies can also save on the costs of media gateways because gateways needed to connect to the PSTN will reside at the ITSP. SIP trunking is also a more efficient alternative to an ISDN or other traditional TDM lines, such as BRI. An ISDN sends digital voice and data over the traditional copper wire, requiring the monthly line rental of ISDN circuits. Because SIP trunks eradicate the need for costly PSTN gateways and traditional TDM lines by using an IP connection to the ITSP, enterprises do not incur costs besides what they pay for the ITSP.
Another benefit of SIP trunking is in bandwidth utilization. Both telephony and Internet lines often utilize bandwidth at a low rate. With the telephony line, telephone usage is generally characterized by several hours a day with many calls and several hours a day with very few calls. Internet usage is rather erratic, with bursts of use throughout the day, thus wasting the capacity at the time that usage is low, for both types of lines. With SIP trunking, combining these to a converged line, you can optimize bandwidth for average consumption rather than peak usage. Quality of service (QoS) settings can allow for prioritizing between voice and data and can ensure that the capacity you need is always available when you need it.
SIP trunking also delivers real-time communications applications – such as IM, presence, video conferencing, and application sharing -- in a cost-efficient, reliable way. With SIP trunking, these real-time communications applications improve collaboration and productivity by reducing human latency and increasing awareness of employee locations, especially for initiating ad hoc meetings. For example, presence allows a hospital administrator to know where the hospital's doctors are at all times, in case of an emergency.
Least cost routing (LCR)
Creative use of SIP trunking can allow an enterprise to reduce calling costs even further, if it employs the use of least cost routing (LCR) and multiple ITSPs. LCR is the process by which a company chooses the path of an outbound communication by the price of the call, opting for the lowest price. If a company uses multiple SIP trunks from different service providers based on geographic locations and time zones, each call can be routed to the cheapest service provider based on country codes, saving a significant amount of money on international calls.
In terms of ROI, this depends on the company's size. Most medium to large companies have multiple locations and often use international calling, so businesses in this scenario can save 50% to 60% of their usual communication costs, and ROI can be achieved within 12 months.
Addressing the challenges of SIP trunking with best practices
With all IP-to-IP connections, security can be an issue because they are always connected to the Internet. SIP trunks are vulnerable to standard signaling and media security issues, as well as peer-to-peer issues if enterprises trust others to provide authentication. However, SIP server and proxy technologies can effectively manage the flow of SIP traffic, as long as there is a reliable IT manager to deal with the security threats with verification and authentication policies.
Another hurdle with SIP trunking is deploying and managing equipment from different vendors. As in any unified environment, mixing equipment based on the SIP protocol from different vendors can cause interoperability problems stemming from incompatibility. Two IP PBXs may seem to be compliant to the same requests for comment (RFC), but because of the open-editing nature of RFCs, the RFC definition for SIP has become overly flexible and vague.
To help battle this problem, SIP Forum, an IP communications industry association, has introduced SIPconnect. This is a recommended set of industry interoperability guidelines designed to facilitate the connection between SIP-enabled IP PBXs and SIP-enabled service provider networks and to establish industry-wide norms. It specifies VoIP protocols/features, a reference architecture and implementation rules. By using SIPconnect, enterprises can solve interoperability problems.

First Phase Of Security Audit Finds Vulnerabilities But No Backdoors In TrueCrypt Encryption Software
from the more-work-needed,-and-more-donations dept
In the wake of the serious Heartbleed flaw in OpenSSL, more people are becoming aware of how widely used and important open source encryption tools are, and how their security is too often taken for granted. Some people were already worrying about this back in September last year, when we learned that the NSA had intentionally undermined encryption by weakening standards and introducing backdoors. As Techdirt reported, that led to a call for a security audit of TrueCrypt, a very popular open source disk encryption tool. Fortunately, the Open Crypto Audit Project raised a goodly sum of money through FundFill and IndieGogo, which allowed the first phase of the audit to be funded. Here's what's now been done (pdf):
The Open Crypto Audit Project engaged iSEC Partners to review select parts of the TrueCrypt 7.1a disk encryption software. This included reviewing the bootloader and Windows kernel driver for any system backdoors as well as any other security related issues.
The good news:
iSEC found no evidence of backdoors or otherwise intentionally malicious code in the assessed areas.
However, it did still find vulnerabilities in the code it examined:
the iSEC team identified eleven (11) issues in the assessed areas. Most issues were of severity Medium (four (4) found) or Low (four (4) found), with an additional three (3) issues having severity Informational (pertaining to Defense in Depth).
Because of that, among the recommendations that iSEC made was the following:
Overall, the source code for both the bootloader and the Windows kernel driver did not meet expected standards for secure code. This includes issues such as lack of comments, use of insecure or deprecated functions, inconsistent variable types, and so forth.
Improve code quality. Due to lax quality standards, TrueCrypt source is difficult to review and maintain. This will make future bugs harder to find and correct. It also makes the learning curve steeper for those who wish to join the TrueCrypt project.
That's an important point, and probably something that other open source projects might take to heart, too. Some have called into question whether Linus's Law -- that "all bugs are shallow, given enough eyeballs" -- is really true for free software (although Eric Raymond, author of "The Cathedral and the Bazaar", has offered a robust defense of that claim.) One reason why those eyeballs may not be finding the bugs is that the code, though open, is unnecessarily hard to read.
The fact that vulnerabilities were found -- even if "all appear to be unintentional, introduced as the result of bugs rather than malice" as iSEC puts it -- is another reason why the second phase of the audit, which will look at the details of how the cryptographic functions have been implemented, is necessary. The discovery of "issues" in TrueCrypt's code also underlines why similar audits need to be conducted for all important open source security programs: if there are vulnerabilities in TrueCrypt, there are likely to be more elsewhere, perhaps much more serious. Finding them is largely a question of money, which is why companies currently free-riding on free software -- perfectly legally -- should start seriously thinking about making some voluntary contributions to help audit and improve them to prevent another Heartbleed.

Yesterday CIPE hosted a #GEWChat Twitter Chat with advocates around the world to discuss how entrepreneurship contributes to economic, social and democratic development. Entrepreneurs naturally help to grow the economy as their ventures provide new services and often lead to increases in employment. In fact, the basic characteristics of entrepreneurial ventures suggest that they are more effective for economic development than other strategies.
Startups are structured in a bottom-up fashion and tailored to the needs of local communities, which in turn leads to better engagement and sustainability. Furthermore, entrepreneurial ventures are not necessarily capital intensive, meaning they can be launched quicker than larger initiatives that may require drawn-out processes to secure necessary funding or even political support. Entrepreneurs are also more adept at navigating altering landscapes. Their smaller scale, limited structure, and independent thought processes allow for quick decision making while other strategies are slow to make necessary changes and adjustments.
Participants in the Twitter chat noted that there are a number of barriers to entrepreneurship in the developing world. Access to micro-finance and general liquidity are commonly cited as the biggest barriers, but capital is only one part of an extensive ecosystem that allows entrepreneurship to thrive. These ecosystems not only require finance, but also have elements dealing with policy, culture, support mechanisms, and markets.
The policy environment plays an important part in creating a supporting environment by mitigating risk and ensuring access to finance, but it is only part of the equation. In many instances, young people in developing countries don't even think that starting their own business is an option. As one participant mentioned:
@cipeglobal reason being, from the begining kids are asked whether he would like to be engineer, doctor or a pilot #GEWChat
— mateen hamza (@humorcarbons) November 13, 2012
Rather than thinking creatively and striking out on their own, youth are driven to pick a job; this culture needs to change. Including entrepreneurship in school curricula is one way to address the problem but would-be entrepreneurs need mentors and local success stories as well.
In addition to endowing youth with a "concept of entrepreneurship" societies must do a better job of supporting those with entrepreneurial tendencies. Nascent entrepreneurs don't just need financial support when it comes to starting a business. They also need personal support and for people to believe in their ideas. Rami Shamma, from Lebanon's Development for People and Nature Association, noted
One of the main challenges that young entrepreneurs face is people not believing that they could do it, due to their age… #GEWChat
— Rami Shamma (@RamiShamma) November 13, 2012
Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool that can lead to sustained economic development that meets the needs of emerging countries. Such markets are characterized by rapidly changing environments to which other development strategies are often to slow or unable to respond. Entrepreneurs are typically plugged into their respective markets and are able to react quicker to changes and find innovative solutions to everyday problems. Only by creating the necessary ecosystems can developing countries tap into the economic power that entrepreneurs bring. This means not only creating the right policies, but the right culture as well.

Radiation can interact with surrounding matter to produce positively and negatively charged particles (a type of electricity). This process is called ionisation, hence the term ionizing radiation.
Synchrotron Radiation
When moving charges spiral in a magnetic field, they produce radiation as a result of their accelerations which is called synchrotron radiation.
Blackbody Radiation
Blackbody radiation refers to an object or system which absorbs all radiation incident upon it and re-radiates energy which is characteristic of this radiating system.

For a while I have been wondering about the concept of VALUE and what we put in it. I have tried to challenge friends of mine with my thoughts, and have been met by rebelling arguments against my own, founded in the definition and understanding of the concept in-between people. To fully discuss the subject of Value, I will start out trying to define: what is Value?
Value is a broad term and means something different to everyone. However, if we have to agree on certain topics that creates value. I have five for you! – You are probably familiar with the theory of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, developed in 1943 by Abraham Maslow. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a theory in psychology, and it gives us five basic needs that we can compare up against the concept of Value. What I'm arguing, is that we create value to fulfil each one of these needs. In our modern society a lot of these needs can be related to money which for many is the definition of value. However, a need such as love and belonging is not in particular money related and therefore value created from friendship, family and sexual intimacy.
I will like to continue with the concept of money, because it is measurable in comparison to love and goodwill. Considering money as our primary source of Value, we can measure how much value you can create, which brings me to the next topic of this article: Time. 4
We all know the saying "Time is Money" and the most people tend to agree. If money equals value, then value equals time. Let's try and work with the concept of "Time is Value" and if time is the most valuable thing you got, you might want to consider how you spend it. But what is time and can we define it?
The definition of Time
Time is in reality an indefinable concept measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, month and years. Time is measurable, but indefinable, simply because we know when it starts, but not when it ends.
I will like to present a management theory that I got to know from professor Nils Villemoes. The theory is centred on a human time-line, and starts with birth: Year null. From here it continues with childhood, teenage life, and higher education until graduation. We are still considering money as our primary source of value for this example. Upon graduation comes the time for people to make money or value until the day of retirement. This is very much the circle of life for the majority of the western world's population. Accepting this as a simplified example, we see that an average person has about 40 years to create value. The question is then how to create the most value with the limited time?
An average work day
We have probably all at some point wished for more hours in a day, but sadly we are all limited to 24. Of those 24 hours an average person will spend what is close to 8 hours sleeping, leaving us with 16 hours awake. These 16 hours are distributed for duties such as cooking, eating, exercise, and even TV and relaxation time. Putting the numbers together leaves us with close to no free time. And for the most people this free time is non-existing. The point I'm stating is that the amount of time available for value creation is extremely limited.
You can make your own 24 hour chart and discover how few hours you actually got to create value.
Creating the most value
We can agree that we all have a limit to how many hours a day we are able to work. Take that number multiply it with days a week you work, and again multiply with 4, multiply with 12, equals the number of working hours in a year, approximately. Then multiply that with your hourly pay and consider if you like your annual salary. That salary will increase slightly with inflation and promotions over your entire working life, which is approximately 40 years. If you are a nurse or an office worker, you can actually with decent accuracy calculate your life pay and you will know that owning a Ferrari, a large house and a boat is simply not possible. So what to do?
Inspired by the bestselling book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, I will share with you a mind-set that makes the different between rich and poor. The concept is to set yourself above your limitations; in this example above time. But how do you do that? What Rich Dad says aka, Keith Cunningham: "DON'T WORK FOR MONEY, MONEY SHOULD WORK FOR YOU". This means that money you have should work on its own. This is possible if investing or owning a company. What you seek is to maximize your interest.
Let's consider owning a company. Owning a company you want to have employees, and you only have employees if they make you money. This is really the key; because the surplus gained, when you have paid your employees and other expenses, goes straight to the bottom line aka, your pockets. Expanding your business will increase your net worth and if you do well, you will see Ferrari, house and boat come a bit closer. Nothing is that simple, but the mind-set is real and if you got it, you are well on your way to create a lot of value.
Another good quote: "Why climb the latter, if you can own it".
This was vol. 1 of Value Creation. As mentioned in the beginning of the article, value is a broad term and concept deserves a vol. 2, to follow up on why value that is not money related is important for you.

Monterey County Potters Field Cemetery
Located on the corner of Natividad Rd. and East Laurel Dr.
This is a CLOSED (Fenced/Gated - No Trespassing Signs) county cemetery, where any access would be considered trespassing. I have checked with the county to see about obtaining access to record the burials, and I was promptly denied. Their stand is that the grave markers contain nothing more than a burial number. Anyone interested in obtaining information on these burials are directed to the Monterey County Recorder's Office to obtain a death certificate. Most of the early Monterey County death certificates were microfilmed and are available from the Church of Latter-Day Saints Family History Library.
This cemetery really is used only for the poor/indigent that cannot afford a burial. It also includes a huge number of John Doe and Jane Doe burials.
Ideally, this cemetery should not have the option of making a "Photo Request"

History - Monterey County Courthouse Completed 1878
The military and social capital of Alta California during Spanish and Mexican rule, the town of Monterey naturally became the county seat when the 27 original counties were formed in, 1850. But when it was learned that the railroad was to go through the valley and not along the coast, the government center was moved to Salinas. After the house used as a courthouse burned, this much larger brick Victorian building was commissioned. The courthouse remained in use while the current one was being constructed around it, and then was demolished. Today a courtyard, lily pond, and commemorative sculpture occupy the site.

Description of collection:
The ledger books1 titled Great Register of Voters are the original handwritten manuscripts kept by the County Clerk's (Registrar of Voters) office of the County of Monterey beginning in 1866.2 The entries are made in alphabetical sections (with alpha sub-sections) and show chronological appearance of voters as they were sworn and registered to vote. The entries include place of nativity (birthplace); age of voter; place of residence (post office or precinct); date and place of naturalization, if applicable; whether citizen by virtue of Treaty of Hildago or citizen by virtue of father's naturalization (and in later years a woman's citizenship status by marriage); occupation; date of appearance to be sworn; and date of registration. Later registration data includes a physical description of the voter and party affiliation. The Registrar of Voters also appended notes to the entries to indicate reasons for cancellation whether due to removal to another county or state, transfer to another county due to change of boundary lines (i.e. to San Benito County in 1874), death, incarceration or "Section 1106" (failure to vote). These notations usually contained dates if known. Copies of the list of voters not thus cancelled, were made every two years and sometimes more frequently if a special election occurred (polling lists). These copies of uncancelled voters were sent to the state and other repositories on a routine basis. Microfilm of these typeset lists is available at the California State Library in Sacramento, California, and other repositories.3
These original handwritten Great Register ledger books have not been microfilmed or transcribed. There was a partial transcription done of the 1890 Great Register as part of a census substitute project4 but the transcription does not include cancellation information.
Note: The Great Register books contain information for years other than marked on the book spines. For example, the 1866-1870 Great Register contains several entries made after 1870 when cancellations were noted and the 1890 Great Register shows voter registration dates which occurred years earlier.
- Voter affidavits are registration forms signed by the voters and contain birth date, birth place, residence address, occupation, party affiliation and sometimes cancellation information.

It�s going to be a bit more difficult to find businesses off the main vein of Highway 98 if Florida DOT has anything to do with it.
At the moment, large, white community direction signs indicate businesses down Don Bishop, Mack Bayou, 393 and elsewhere in South Walton. But those will be taken down after nearly 10 years of advertising less-visible businesses.
�Fifteen have been cited to be removed,� said Ed Morrissey, who owns a business down Don Bishop Road. He says Florida DOT�s reason for the removal is �that they are on the right of way.�
A DOT representative said they are indeed within the right of way and that it is illegal to have signage � or anything else � on the state-maintained land.
�There are (15) signs on Highway 98, a state road. You�re not allowed to put anything on state right of way,� said DOT�s Josh Rudd.
If it wasn�t for the right of way, however, the signs would still be in violation for their size or for off-site advertising, or a combination of the three factors, according to Rudd.
Business owners were notified Nov. 1 that the signs were in violation of Florida Statute 337.406. They were given a deadline of 10 days to take the signs down. But while the business owners were given the violation notifications, the responsibility lies with the county to take them down.
�The people don�t own the signs, the county does,� said Rudd. �Six months ago, I got with the county. (They) were supposed to have them removed.�
Morrissey says it�s a real shame to lose the signs, which, when he and other business owners down Don Bishop put them up, were in full compliance with parameters the county had set forth.
�It was five feet wide, no taller than 10 feet, black (print) on white,� said Morrissey.
The 28-year owner of Paint Booth Body Shop down Don Bishop has come to terms that the offending signs will have to be removed, but he is afraid the sign removal will hurt business at his shop and elsewhere.
�That�s at least 75 businesses,� said Morrissey, of those that will lose at-the-road visibility.
Morrissey said that even though his business has been around for nearly 30 years, new customers and longtime residents still come in surprised that he is there.
�I had a woman come in and say, �Gosh I didn�t know you were here,� � Morrissey told The Sun Tuesday.
He said the timing is ironic as he was just planning to take the sign down and revamp it with new paint and lettering, though that won�t be necessary now.
Rudd says the signs will be removed Nov. 13 or sooner, whether by the state or the county. He added that the signs cannot come back � that is, unless business owners �can get the county to kill the ordinance on directional signs,� said Rudd.

GuideStone injunction blocks abortion mandate
UPDATED 9:45 p.m. Central time, Dec. 20
OKLAHOMA CITY (BP) -- Federal District Judge Timothy DeGiusti issued a preliminary injunction Dec. 20 against the federal government's mandate that requires employers, including many religiously affiliated ones, to provide abortion-causing drugs and devices.
Although churches and closely related ministries are exempt from the mandate, many Christian universities, children's homes and other ministries were not exempted, and instead were in danger of being forced to provide abortion-causing drugs and devices through a poorly conceived "accommodation" or incur crippling penalties.
DeGiusti's ruling means organizations that use GuideStone's health care plans, now or in the future, will be protected from participating in providing abortion-causing drugs for the foreseeable future. A trial date to make a final decision has not yet been set.
O.S. Hawkins, president of GuideStone Financial Resources, said the ruling by the Oklahoma City federal judge "reflects common-sense legal principles, respects the rights of religious institutions to provide benefits consistent with their convictions, and provides needed relief from the government's attempt to co-opt ministry health plans."
"We appreciate Judge DeGiusti's timely protection of religious liberty and give thanks to God for this victory and for the many thousands who have made this a matter of prayer," Hawkins said.
Hawkins noted that the injunction only concerns abortion-inducing drugs and devices, not other contraceptives.
"While our Catholic friends oppose contraceptive in most every form -- a belief that they should be free to exercise under the First Amendment -- our plans reflect the convictions of most Southern Baptists and evangelicals that the use of contraceptives is a matter of personal conscience," Hawkins said. "Our plans will continue to provide coverage for the vast majority of FDA-approved drugs that do not cause abortions."
Russell D. Moore, president of the SBC's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, said the injunction is a "first step toward a historic win for religious liberty."
"A government that can coerce the conscience is a government that has overstepped its God-appointed bounds," Moore said. "We are thankful for Guidestone and the gospel grit of President O.S. Hawkins. We're still early in this fight but this is good news."
The ruling also encompasses Truett-McConnell College, a Georgia Baptist Convention-affiliated school, and Reaching Souls International, an Oklahoma-based missions organization.
"We are pleased to see that Judge DeGiusti, along with many other courts, is recognizing these mandates go too far," said Emir Caner, Truett-McConnell's president. "We join with our partners in ministry at Reaching Souls and GuideStone in celebrating this ruling and praising the Lord for this outcome."
Dustin Manis, CEO of Reaching Souls International, said the ruling "protects our ministry from this offensive, objectionable and onerous requirement. We pray this injunction will lead to an eventual full repeal of the abortion-drug mandate and continued protections for religious organizations under the First Amendment."
This case is one of nearly 90 lawsuits brought against the abortion-drug mandate. Hawkins said Christians should continue to pray for these cases as they wind through the courts.
The Dallas law firm Locke Lord LLP filed the lawsuit in conjunction with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. The case is GuideStone v. Sebelius. Kathleen Sebelius is the HHS secretary.
"Whether the cases relate to family businesses like Hobby Lobby or for nonprofit ministries like GuideStone, the religious freedom concerns cannot be overstated," Hawkins said. "It's time for Christians to stay informed, get involved and pray for wisdom for all in authority."

Shane Pike necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 41 diseños de 7 diseñadores freelance.
Within the next 12 months LakeHomes.com will be the web's #1 destination for lake home buyers and sellers, and a completely new design is the next step in that evolution. We already have the homepage, and now it's time for the easier pages.
We're looking for a clean, simple design that's easy to use -- something that is sophisticated but applicable to all, not one that says that the site is only for people above a certain income level. It should be a classic look (though possibly with some modern touches) rather than a completely modern look.
We're *not* looking for a "Web 2.0" look.
The winning designer will have the opportunity to work for us on a contract basis designing other pages for the site and other elements.
This site is targeted exclusively to lake home buyers & sellers and the real estate agents who service them -- a group of people almost exclusively over 30 (and skewing much older than that on average), so it needs to inspire confidence in an older demographic.
We have uploaded two files: the new homepage and the *first* version of a Property Details page. You are making a small redesign to the Property Details page.
We need these changes made to the Property Details page:
1. Add the rich colors of the homepage somehow, maybe in the background of the page. Right now everything is so white, it feels cold.
2. Stick with the three menu items that we have on the homepage design. Those are the only three we ever need. If you like, you can highlight the appropriate one for the section we're in ("Buy a Lake Home" in this case).
3. The "Request Information" link needs to be much more prominent.
4. It feels like we're highlighting the Additional Features, when it actually should be the opposite. Most people won't look at those, so they need to be more subtle.
5. The map works fine. We don't need text above it, though, since everyone knows what it's showing.
6. The amount of data we have for a Property will vary significantly from house to house and state to state, so as much as possible the design needs to look good with just a little data or a whole lot.
7. One alternate way to display everything might be to have the images on the left where they are now and move the map into the gray box to separate the important data fields from the Additional Details.
Do NOT remove anything from the first version except as noted above.

Support Adler University
on an ongoing basis.
Continue the Legacy: Endowments
Endowment gifts are especially appreciated by Adler University. When you create an endowed fund, or when you add to an existing endowed fund, your gift benefits the University in perpetuity. That's because endowment assets are carefully invested and managed to ensure that a sustainable amount of money will be available each year on an ongoing basis.
That money can be directed to a purpose you specify. Some endowed funds make distributions for Adler University's general use without restriction. Others provide resources for particular purposes, such as scholarships, faculty, and institutional academic and programmatic initiatives. So long as certain criteria are met, an endowed fund can bear your name or the name of anyone or anything whose legacy you want to endure.
Dr. Joyce and Dr. Gary McKay wanted to make their gift in honor of Harold and Birdie Mosak, and the impact the Mosaks made on their personal lives as well their professions.
They decided to continue the legacy of "educating for change" by creating an endowed fund to benefit to the Harold and Birdie Mosak Library campaign through a life-income gift.
A strong endowment is essential in the University's ability to graduate socially responsible practitioners, engage communities, and advance social justice. Learn how to endow your gift and create your legacy with the Adler University.

About Fueling
When you increase the power of an engine you will need to increase the amount of fuel it has to work with. You will usually need to uprate the Fuel Injectors, Fuel Pump and engine Ecu Tuning software (Custom-Code).
The mix ratio of air to fuel needs to be closely balanced and most engine tuning projects will involved increasing the amount of fuel and air combusted in the engine.

July 5 Cubs minor league recap.
AZL Cubs played a very entertaining game on Thursday winning 12-11 in ten innings. After giving up ten runs in the first three innings and being down by five the Cubs came storming back to tie the game and eventually win. There were a lot of good things that happened on the offensive side of things. Leading off Timothy Saunders was 5-for-6 with a home run, double, three RBI's and four runs scored. Rafael Lopez was 3-for-4 with a double, two runs scored, and one batted in. Izaac Garsez also had three hits including a double, a run scored, and one batted in. Garrett Schlecht and Daniel Lockhart each had two hits and Lockhart had two RBI's and two runs scored. Justin Berg got the start and wasn't very good pitching only one inning and giving up six runs, three earned on four hits. Nathan Dorris pitched three scoreless innings and Steve Perakslis recorded the win pitching two innings. It was a wild game and it is nice to see the the Cubs come out on top.
Boise scored two in the ninth to win 7-6. Down by one going to the bottom of the ninth The Hawks were trailing 6-5. After a Dong-Yub Kim and Xavier Batista walk Darien Martin bunted them to second and third. Gioskar Amaya delivered a single to tie the game. After a fielders choice up stepped Stephen Bruno who came through with a single to win the game. Amaya also had three hits and scored two runs and drove in one. Bijan Rademacher was 2-for-3 including his first home run of his professional career. Marco Hernandez and Kim each had two hits and Hernandez had two RBI's. Bryce Shafer got the win in relief, despite giving up an unearned run in the top of the ninth. Starter Jose Arias pitched quite well, giving up one run on seven hits in 5.2 innings pitched. He was in line to get the win, but Michael Hamann struggled in relief. All in all it was a nice win for Boise on Friday.
Peoria scored two runs in the second and the pitching staff was able to make it stand winning 2-1. Zach Cates got the start, but did not factor in the decision as he was only able to pitch 4.2 innings. Zachary Rosscup came in relief and pitched three great innings striking out five and only allowing a hit. Luis Lira came in to close the game and recorded his fourth save of the season. Dustin Geiger started off where he left off hitting a solo home run in the second. After the homer, Javier Baez stepped to the plate and delivered a single. He then stole his 12 base of the season and advanced to third on a throwing error by the catcher. Wes Darvill drove him in on a ground out. Zeke DeVoss and Pin-Chieh Chen each had a hit and DeVoss stole his 21st base of the year.
Kyler Burke pitched ok on Thursday, but took the loss nonetheless. He gave up three runs, two earned on seven hits in five innings of work. Offensively John Andreoli had a really nice day. He was 3-for-4 and stole his 29th base of the season. Matt Cerda also reached base three times with a double and two walks. He also drove in two runs and scored one. Arismendy Alcantara led off and was 2-for-5 with an RBI. Brian Schlitter pitched an effective two innings in relief not allowing a run and giving up two hits while striking out one. His ERA is now down to 1.33.
The Tennessee Smokies game was postponed on Friday. It will be made up as a doubleheader tomorrow. Each game will be seven innings.
Iowa was shutout on Thursday 3-0. Brooks Raley got the start and took the loss pitching 6.2 innings and allowing three runs, one earned on five hits. Offensively there isn't much to talk about. Diory Hernandez was the only Cubs player to have a multi-hit game going 2-for-3. Alfredo Amezaga, Dave Sappelt, and Josh Vitters, and Brian Esposito all had one hit a piece on Friday. Alberto Cabrera and Ryan Rowland-Smith each pitched well in relief. Nothing too exciting about this one.
Thanks for Reading,

McCourt 911 Drama
UPDATE: A lawyer for Jamie tells TMZ, "Contrary to the statement by Mr. McCourt's attorney, no one other than Mrs. McCourt and the housekeeper were at the home when Mr. McCourt appeared and police were called.
The police report and the facts of the situation speak for themselves."
Frank McCourt -- owner of the L.A. Dodgers -- scared his estranged wife Jamie so badly she called 911, this according to law enforcement sources.
It happened Sept. 5 2009, at 10:10 in the morning. We're told Jamie was swimming in the pool of her Holmby Hills home when Frank suddenly and unexpectadly appeared. Jamie called 911, explaining that she was frightened because of previous incidents in which Frank had allegedly lost his temper and scared her.
Jamie then called the couple's private security for assistance.
By the time the LAPD responded, private security had already arrived to make sure Jamie was OK.
When cops arrived, the officers interviewed both Jamie and the couple's housekeeper -- who told police she had heard Jamie scream.
Soon after she spoke with cops, we're told Jamie left the house.
But Frank sees things a different way, his lawyer just released the following statement on his behalf:
"The events described by TMZ occurred when the McCourts had already separated.
Mr. McCourt was living alone at the residence in West Los Angeles and his wife was residing in Malibu. That morning, Mr. McCourt left the house and went jogging. When he returned home to the West Los Angeles residence, he found his wife swimming in the pool and her personal "security assistant" Jeff Fuller, was also at the residence.
The news of a 911 call came as a surprise to Mr. McCourt. He had no knowledge of any 911 call at the time; or of any visit by any police officers and law enforcement has had no contact with him. As previously reported by TMZ, Mrs. McCourt and Mr. Fuller have been linked romantically.
