How to Lubricate Car Locks, Hinges and Latches
Get rid of annoying squeaks in your car by spending 10 minutes lubricating car locks, hinges and latches.
How To Oil Different Parts Of Your Car
By the time you start hearing squeaks and groans whenever you open your door, hood, gas tank lid or trunk, the new-car thrill has probably faded. We'll help you recapture some of that new-car feel with a few simple lubricating techniques. With just 10 minutes twice a year, you can quiet those pesky noises and avoid costly repairs. All you need are a variety of inexpensive lubricants, which will come in handy for household problems as well. White lithium grease is good for metal-to-metal joints like hinges and latches, which need a clinging grease to repel water and hold up under harsh conditions.
WD-40 is for light-duty lubrication and freeing up sticking or partially rusted hinges and latches. Silicone spray is great for lubricating nylon, plastic and metal when only a thin layer of lubricant is necessary. And because silicone dries, it won't get clothing greasy. Graphite lubricant is the right choice for locks-it won't attract dirt to fine lock mechanisms like an oil would.
Tools and materials required for this project:
– Rags
– Graphite lubricant
– White lithium grease
– Silicone spray
Oil Door Locks
We don't think much about our door locks until the key breaks off in the cylinder. Keep these delicate mechanisms moving freely with a blast of dry graphite powder. You may need to push the dust protector flap back slightly with a small metal nail file to get at the lock. A quick pump of the tube will dispense enough graphite. Move the lock cylinder with your key several times to work the graphite into the mechanism. Do this to your trunk lock as well.
Oil Gas Tank Lid
The gas tank lid really takes abuse, especially in salty environments. Give it a squirt of WD-40 a few times a year to keep it from rusting. Wipe away any excess to keep it from dripping onto your car's finish.
Oil Hood Hinges
Wipe the hinge area with a clean rag and spray it with white lithium grease or a few drops of ordinary motor oil. Move the hinge several times to work the grease into the hinge. Be sure to get it into both sides of each hinge. Wipe away the excess to keep it from collecting debris.
Oil Trunk Hinges
Lubricate the trunk hinges using the same method you used for the hood hinge. Don't lubricate the gas struts that slow the trunk movement (you could ruin them).
Oil Hood Latches
Wipe the grime and dirt away with a clean cloth. Try to get any bits of sand that may be embedded in the existing grease. If you see rusted or stuck parts, give the latch a spray of WD-40, then move the mechanism several times. Wipe it again and give it a liberal coating of white lithium grease.
Oil Door Hinges And Latches
If the door squeaks every time you open it, the hinges could be bound by corrosion. If so, squirt the hinges with WD-40 to free them, and move the door several times to work in the lubricant. Once the hinges are in working condition, just squirt them with white lithium grease or motor oil, operate the door several times and then wipe any excess away. Check the door latch for corrosion. Many door latches now have a nonmetallic composite mechanism, which should be lubricated with a shot of silicone spray.

More than snow came from the Cloud Tuesday. Many parents of Oxford Public School students received four robo-calls, 15 minutes apart, starting at 5:30 a.m., informing them that school had been canceled.
Similar multiple calls were received by some parents in Leicester.
One mother who received the calls was Oxford School Committee member Brenda A. Ennis.
"It was just a glitch in the system. We don't expect it to happen again," she said.
Judy Paolucci, superintendent of schools in Leicester, said, "We've been working with the company after some parents received as many as six phone calls."
Public school systems in both communities use iAutoAlert from IMG Software of Framingham to alert parents to school closings or other situations.
Frank Piso, vice president of IMG, said Tuesday, "We fell short today. Corrective action has been taken. We are here for our customers and service is paramount to us."
He said the problem was found almost immediately, but the Cloud-based technology is so fast that four calls got out before they could be stopped.
He said such glitches are rare in the company's on-demand service.
"Our core operation is administrative software designed to provide minimal financial pain for procuring services," he said.
Ms. Paolucci suggested that Leicester parents who continue to have a problem might have separate listings for more than one child, might have entered multiple phone numbers in the system, or might have another simple issue.
"Just call us, and we can adjust personal settings."
Allen W. Himmelberger, superintendent of schools in Oxford, said, "All school departments use a third-party vendor for emergency notification. Yesterday's multiple calls were nothing we did, even though it is my voice on the notification. We talked to the vendor and it should not happen again."
He said he remembers the days when parents would listen to the radio or watch television to see if their town's schools were open. The bad part was that superintendents had to contact each individual radio and television station to have the cancellation or delay reported, and parents had to watch or listen for the alphabetical scroll before they could plan their day.
"Now we log on, and with a few mouse clicks and an automated phone call, the word is out."
He added that six school days lost to snow and Superstorm Sandy are enough, and have pushed the last day of school to June 18.
"Hopefully, that's it. We will not get any more snow days, and no one has to get any more early-morning calls."

Olive ridley turtle
Common Name
Olive Ridley, Pacific Ridley; Ridley du Pacifique, tortue bâtarde, tortue de ridley, tortue olivâtre (Fr); Tortuga golfina, tortuga olivacea (Sp)
Scientific Name
Lepidochelys olivacea
Approx. 800,000 nesting females
IUCN: Vulnerable A2bd CITES: Appendix I CMS: Appendix I and II
Illegal harvest of eggs continues
Physical Description
The olive ridley looks very similar to the Kemp's ridley, but has a deeper body and slightly up-turned edges to its carapace (shell).
The average length is 70cm, and adults weigh approximately 45kg.
Rusty coloured carapace.
After reaching sexual maturity when they are about 12 years old, many thousands of females emerge from the sea and nest simultaneously over a period of 2 to 3 days. These arribadas (a Spanish word meaning 'mass arrivals') may be an adaptation against predation, and one reason for the success of this species.
However, the olive ridley often chooses small, narrow beaches and their nests may be so closely packed that subsequent waves of females often dig up other nests in efforts to lay their own eggs. Arribadas may be repeated 2 to 7 times a season.
This species feeds essentially on crabs and shrimps, but also jellyfish, small invertebrates, tunicates, small invertebrates and fish eggs. Individuals have been captured in prawn trawls at depths of 80 to 110m, and are therefore considered capable of foraging at these depths.
Current Population and Distribution
Olive ridleys occur through the Antilles, around the north coast of South America, in West Africa, the Indian Ocean, Australia and southeast Asia. There are also many important nesting and feeding grounds on the east Pacific coast from as far north as Canada to as far south as southern Peru.
Nesting occurs at low frequency throughout much of its range, with the highest concentrations of the olive ridley found on the coast of Orissa state, India. The principal beaches are Garhimatha, Ruchikulya and Devi River mouths. On the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the main nesting beaches are Nancite and Ostional, and La Escobilla on the coast of Oaxaca, Mexico. Populations in northern Australia and south-east Asia are known to be different genetic stock to the Orissa turtles. Populations of olive ridleys are reported to have declined in Pakistan, Myanmar, Malaysia and Thailand, and possibly on the east coast of India, south of Orissa and in the Andaman and Nicobar islands.
A recent estimate of 800,000+ female olive ridleys has been made.
Angola, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Costa Rica, El Salvador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mexico, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Peru, Senegal, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela.
Ecological Region
Southern Australian Marine, Benguela Current, Humboldt Current, Agulhas Current, Western Australia Marine, Gulf of California, Canary Current, Sulu-Sulawesi Seas, Bismarck-Solomon Seas, Banda-Flores Sea, Great Barrier Reef, Palau Marine, Andaman Sea, East African Marine, West Madagascar Marine, Mesoamerican Caribbean Reef, Greater Antillean Marine, Southern Caribbean Sea, Northeast Brazil Shelf Marine
What are the main threats?
- Habitat loss and degradation
- Wildlife trade
- Collection of eggs and meat for consumption
- Incidental capture (bycatch)
- Climate change
- Pollution
Olive ridleys were once killed in large numbers for meat and leather. There were many economically important slaughterhouses on Mexico's Pacific coast, where officially over 1 million turtles were killed each year during the 1960s. This slaughter was reduced when legal quotas were introduced, although a smaller illegal industry persists.
Why is this species important?
Olive ridley turtles feed on invertebrates and may play important roles in both open ocean and coastal ecosystems.
What is WWF doing?
This includes:
- Action to address the impacts of climate change.
- Monitoring the migration patterns of marine turtles.
- Improving and supporting trade controls.
- Protecting nesting sites.
- Reducing bycatch and promoting smart fishing.
How you can help
- Send a turtle to rehab! Help the recuperation process for thousands of sick and injured turtles.

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Each and every Friday we offer songs by local artists. Today's selection, featured on theMorning Show with John Richards, is "Hacienda Motel" by Pickwick from their debut self-released EP Myths Vol. 1.
Oftentimes it's easier to blend-in rather than stand-out, yet that is exactly what today's artist, Seattle rock/soul/popsters Pickwick wanted to avoid doing when they found themselves in a sea of artists caught up in a scene. Now today, almost four years later, they have established a niche for themselves and their music, including the incredibly addicting "Hacienda Motel," can be heard throughout the city-on the air, blaring out of clubs, and between the pop and hiss on record players. They've taken the concepts of blue-eyed soul and put it in the context of indie pop, the result of which has hips swaying, and hearts swooning when they hear singer Galen Disston's voice croon.
Pickwick's Michael Parker and Galen Disston talk about finding their voice as musicians and the almost zen-like way they let nature take its course.
In a city that has a prevalent folk scene and increasing national attention for our hip hop scene, what has it been like for you having to carve out your own nook as a soul/rock/pop band?
Galen Disston: When we first started out a few years ago we were defiantly trying to fit more into the mold of 'indie folk' that's become so synonymous with this city over the past 5 years or so. Michael played pedal steel, Cassady played accordion; it was a completely different band.
After trying that for a year it was discouraging that our sound was still so derivative of Ryan Adams and Wilco; but not nearly as good. Nothing seemed fresh or exciting and in all honesty we weren't really making music that we were all that proud of. Everything kind of came to a head when Michael and I had a conversation about possibly breaking up the band and in a last ditch effort to try and save the band we stumbled upon this sound.
I think that because we're drawing from influences that aren't as common right now it sets us apart a little bit from a lot of bands in Seattle. I feel like that's been a big plus for us over the past few months as people have been hearing our music for the first time and coming to our shows to dance.
What is it about soul music that you most identify with?
Michael Parker: Well to be clear, I wouldn't exactly call what we're doing "soul" music in the traditional sense. It's definitely a major influence, but we're also trying to put our own spin on it.
I think what we've all identified with and draw from on those classic 60's &70's soul records is the combination of passion, groove, and melody that the artists from that time seemed to possess. The energy on those old R&B/Soul tunes is undeniable. Those folks put 100% of themselves behind the vocal and the performance. It's really inspiring stuff to listen to. On top of that, it's music that forces you to interact with it physically. I don't know know of anyone who can listen to the opening riff of a song like "Superstition" without bobbing their head or tapping their foot. Nick Drake is great, but his music doesn't make you do that.
How did you guys all meet and come together for this project?
Galen: eHarmony. It's great, they give you personally tests and everything.
What's your songwriting process? Is there a primary songwriter or are you guys more collaborative?
Michael: As far as the writing process goes each song presents itself in a different way. Cassady and I are generally the ones that get the ball moving in the early stages of a song, but we all have an equal say in how something turns out and the best idea always wins. It's a very collaborative process that all six of us are a part of. Galen writes all of the lyrics and draws inspiration from the mind altering drug experiences he had as a pre-teen in Brazil… do you think that's true?
What can you tell me about "Hacienda Motel?"
Michael: "Hacienda Motel" was actually the first song that we wrote after deciding to scrap the indie folk thing and try something new. I was playing around with the opening riff while Galen was upstairs in the bathroom (true story). As I was playing he began singing over the guitar part and came up with the melody. When he came downstairs he continued to sing while Garrett came up with his bassline. Matt followed suite on the drums and Cassady pitched in with the idea to add the "ahhs" to intro and outro. In about a half hour we had a full fledged song in a new genre.
"Hacienda Motel" was by far the easiest song for us to write up to that point and quickly became a song that we were all very proud of. It added a much needed jolt of life back into the band and made us excited about making music again.
Galen, have you always had the fro? At what point did you decide to let nature take its course?
Galen: I was at Boy Scout camp the summer after 7th grade and puberty hit and brought me a fro. Since then I've just let it have its way with me.
Well, there's no fighting nature.
Pickwick was live on the Morning Show earlier this week (Wednesday at 9:30 — check out the archives). They'll also be part of Sound on the Sound's 5th Anniversary party at the Columbia City Theater on 8/5 along with American Girls and The Mallard. You can also catch them later this summer at Doe Bay and Bumbershoot. More dates and info on their website or Myspace page.
Here they are playing "Hacienda Motel" live on the Morning Show just two days ago!

On The Horizon: Building With Phase Change Materials
Anyone with thick brick or stone walls has probably noticed that their home takes a long time to heat or cool during the day. This is because for years architects have employed high mass materials, which slow the flow of temperature, as a means to build passive, eco-friendly buildings. While these materials work well at regulating temperature fluctuations, they can be expensive, require additional structure and eat up building square footage. Thankfully, scientists have been working hard on developing the same technology, but on a microscopic level, in the form of phase change materials.
The basic idea of passive buildings and thermal mass, is building materials with a high mass (water, stone or concrete) collect and store heat throughout the day, and then slowly release it as the temperature drops. Ideally this design technique is used in climates who have extreme temperature fluctuations from day to night, or season to season. The thermal mass aides in a building's efficiency, reduces the need for heating and cooling equipment — and is done so without any moving parts.
Phase change materials (PCM) provide thermal mass, but on a much smaller scale. PCMs work by melting and solidifying at a specific temperature — heat is absorbed at the solid state, and when the material reaches a predetermined temperature, it changes to a liquid and releases the stored energy (heat). When the temperature falls below a predetermined degree, the PCM re-solidifys and the process repeats. The most common PCMs come in the form of paraffin, fatty acids and salt hydrates, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Most PCMs must be encapsulated to be stored and prevent evaporation and absorption.
There are several sectors in building industry that are looking to incorporate PCMs into their materials and products — some examples of this include drywall, windows, concrete and insulation. For example, when PCMs are embedded into drywall, an entire building is capable of storing energy, rather than just it's exterior walls (where masonry is typically used). All walls that are sheathed with PCM embedded drywall are able to absorb and release heat around-the-clock to maintain a predetermined and desired temperature. By using drywall embedded with PCMs as thermal mass, instead of masonry or concrete, the building gains square footage that typically would've been lost to thick walls, and needs less structural support, which can get very expensive.
Other current PCM applications include:
- BioPCM: BioPCM can be integrated into new construction or retrofitted into existing. It is a rolled mat that contains PCM; the mat is installed between insulation and drywall layers and can be located in walls and ceiling.
- GlassX: GlassX is an insulated glazing unit that can be used as full glass walls and windows. The unit has an outer pane of glass that reflects high-angle sun and allows low-angle sunlight to pass. Sunlight that is transmitted through this outer pane of glass passes through inner polycarbonate channels that are embedded with salt-hydrate PCMs. These PCMs store the heat from the sunlight, and release the heat to the interior of the building as the temperature cools.
- ThermalCORE: Made by National Gypsum/BASF Corporation, ThermalCORE is a drywall panel embedded with paraffin PCM. The microscopic paraffin capsules absorb and distribute heat as the wax melts and solidifies with temperature fluctuations. ThermalCORE is not currently commercially available for purchase and is still undergoing testing.
Many PCM materials are undergoing testing as it is very difficult to fine tune each product to be aplicable for a variety of climates and desired temperature ranges. However, many PCM products are already being integrated into the construction industry in Europe and were seen as recently as last year in some of the Solar Decathlon entries. This seems like such an innovative, yet simple idea, and we're eager to see how it evolves within the building industry.

A Year Of GRAMMY Firsts For Americana
I was honored to fulfill my third year as the Americana GRAMMY.com Community Blogger. GRAMMY Week proved to be another unique experience leading up to Music's Biggest Night, beginning with Play It Forward, the GRAMMY Foundation's 15th Annual Music Preservation Project, the Social Media Rock Stars Summit, the Pre-Telecast Ceremony, and concluding with the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Behind a trail of tweets, instagrams and Facebook posts, I reflected performances, conversations, insights, camaraderie, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences, all through an Americana lens.
The Pre-Telecast Ceremony served up a heavy listing of awards for Americana acts. Folk/rock artists were awarded in the Best Long Form Music Video category, with the trophy going to Big Easy Express, a documentary that traces the 2011 Railroad Revival Tour featuring Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show. Steep Canyon Rangers picked up their first GRAMMY for Best Bluegrass Album for Nobody Knows You. Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile picked up a GRAMMY for Best Folk Album for The Goat Rodeo Sessions. The album also won in the Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical category.
Taylor Swift was on hand with producer T Bone Burnett and the Civil Wars to receive the GRAMMY for Best Song Written For Visual Media for "Safe & Sound" from The Hunger Games.
Clad in black, John Fullbright performed a rousing version of "Gawd Above" from his Best Americana Album-nominated From The Ground Up. But when the winner was announced in that category, Bonnie Raitt took the prize for Slipstream and walked away with her 10th GRAMMY. Speaking with Fullbright later, the newcomer showed a maturity beyond his 24 years by remarking, "There's no one I'd rather lose to."
The GRAMMY telecast supplied many instances of Americana representation. Best New Artist nominees the Lumineers had the crowd dancing and singing along to their hit "Ho Hey." Resplendent in a rhinestone peacock feather creation by Manuel, Jack White began with his all-female band (appropriately called the Peacocks) to deliver a rustically languid rendition of "Love Interruption," from his Album Of The Year and Best Rock Album-nominated Blunderbuss. White then moved to his wild side with his boys, the Buzzards, for a flailing and feedback-drenched "Freedom At 21."
Mumford & Sons performed "I Will Wait" under lights strung from the ceiling of Staples Center that were reminiscent of those in their "Little Lion Man" video. Last year's big GRAMMY winner and fellow British artist Adele awarded the band the GRAMMY for Album Of The Year for their sophomore effort, Babel.
The highlight for me came during the In Memoriam portion of the telecast. The great Levon Helm was honored with a passionate performance of the Band's "The Weight" by Elton John, Mumford & Sons, Mavis Staples, Zac Brown, and Alabama Shakes singer Brittany Howard. The tribute also featured Burnett, who served as musical director. Helm died in 2012 at age 71 after battling cancer.
It was another stellar year of GRAMMY firsts for the American Roots Field.

(This is told from the view of Justin Bieber) I'm single, I'm free, nothing can touch me. I'm on tour traveling and seeing all my fans, until one sticks out. Jess. She flipped my world. Everything she did was right or for a good cause. My fans and the world however didn't see her that way, and that's what tore us apart. Now I'm here, at an exclusive interview to set the record straight, to prove that Jess is not what everybody thought she was. But with this story comes heart break, lying, hiding, and loss. Trying to make it through this story will be the death of me, but I love my beliebers, and you know I will never hide the truth from you. So here is my story about Jess and I.

Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. announced today a suite of new initiatives to improve the quality of continuing education (CE) for CFP® professionals that will help ensure their continuing competency in providing financial planning services to the public.
At its November meeting the Board of Directors unanimously approved a multi-year plan to upgrade the quality of CE that will engage the CFP Board staff, Council on Education, CE Sponsors registered with CFP Board and CFP® professionals. The plan does not, at this time, include CFP Board developing and delivering CE programs.
"CFP® professionals need to have access to the highest quality continuing education programs," said Board of Directors Chair Nancy Kistner, CFP®. "The establishment of appropriate standards for and delivery of continuing education are inherent in CFP Board's mission to benefit the public. And we believe these initiatives will elevate the quality of continuing education opportunities for CFP® professionals in all delivery formats."
As part of their certification, CFP® professionals are required to complete 30 hours of continuing education coursework every two years prior to re-certifying. Of these 30 hours, two of them must be on CFP Board's Standards of Professional Conduct. There are currently over 1,400 CE sponsors offering more than 15,000 CE programs registered with CFP Board on an annual basis, of which 60 are focused on CFP Board's ethical and practice standards.
Over the next three to five years, CFP Board will be working to align CE for CFP® professionals with CE standards and program review processes currently used by the established professions. CFP Board's implementation of this program will include a number of short- and long-term initiatives to be implemented in partnership with CFP® professionals and CE Sponsors registered with CFP Board, including:
"We have heard from CFP® professionals and CE program providers alike that we need to improve the quality of continuing education. We are dedicated to making this happen and have set an aggressive course to meet this goal," said Kevin R. Keller, CAE, CFP Board's Chief Executive Officer.
The mission of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning. The Board of Directors, in furthering CFP Board's mission, acts on behalf of the public, CFP® professionals and other stakeholders. CFP Board owns the certification marks CFP®, Certified Financial Planner™, CFP® (with plaque design) and CFP® (with flame design) in the U.S., which it awards to individuals who successfully complete CFP Board's initial and ongoing certification requirements. CFP Board currently authorizes nearly 69,000 individuals to use these marks in the U.S.

Good Morning Gentle Readers,
Welcome, welcome. And a glorious Easter Sunday morning it is. Indeed.
Easter celebrates the final and most lasting miracle. This morning, however, we're turning back the page to John 2, verses 2-11. Thankee.
Shortly before Passover that year a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Among the guests at this glorious affair, were Jesus, his mother, and the Disciples. The celebrants, danced, feasted, and drank wine until there was no more wine.
Once the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him,
Son, we have no more wine.
Always the polite son, Jesus responded thus,
Ma, it is not my place..........
As any Jewish mother would do, she tapped her foot firmly a number of times, flashed a demure smile, and admonished the servants to do whatever Jesus might ask of them.
Nearby stood six stone water jars ordinarily reserved for ceremonial washing, each of which held from twenty to thirty gallons of water.
Jesus then said to the servants,
Go to the well and fill the jars with water. Once you have done so, draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.
The servants did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had become wine. Although the servants who had drawn the water knew from whence it came, the master of the banquet did not and when he called the bridegroom aside, he said,
It is to be expected that the choice wine is served first and then the cheaper wine is brought out after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the very finest wine until now.
Thus, Jesus performed the first of his miraculous signs at Cana in Galilee, and by doing so revealed His Glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
Bow your heads in benediction, please.
Amen. Go in peace, holding Saint Paul's admonition to Saint Timothy close to your hearts.
As Ever,
This appeared April 12, 2009

Kenya: Press releases
UK announces major support for Education in Kenya
The support will contribute to the implementation of all 23 investment programmes in the Kenya Education Sector Support Programme (KESSP)and will fully fund the scaling up of the highly successful Primary School Action for Better Health (PSABH) programme to reach all schools. Communities and children will continue to benefit from funds transferred directly to school accounts for the purchase of textbooks and learning materials.
Additional funds will be made available for whole school development including rehabilitation and construction of classrooms, as well as water and sanitation facilities. It is anticipated that by 2010 there will be around 11,880 refurbished and/or new classrooms, and more education materials provided to each one of the 18,500 primary schools in Kenya. As the KESSP is a sector wide plan, all sectors within education will be supported. In addition to ongoing support to the primary sector, funds will enable the development of strategies for the expansion of secondary education and reform of the university sector.
The UK has contributed £35m to the education sector in the past five years through the Strengthening Primary Education Programme. Our support has assisted the Ministry of Education to help children get into and stay in school through the development of a simplified and cheaper primary curriculum; the provision of textbooks and learning materials in all schools; training for all primary teachers which has improved lesson planning, classroom practice and enjoyment of lessons by students; implementation of a successful large scale HIV/AIDS prevention programme in primary schools and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems.
In making the announcement during a visit to Barchando Primary School in Bondo district, Hilary Benn said:
The Government of Kenya has made real progress since the launch of its Free Primary Education policy just three years ago. The KESSP package of investment programmes will enable more children to get into and to stay in school, particularly the poorest. However, there are challenges ahead. Some three quarters of a million children remain out of school, mostly those in arid and semi arid areas and the urban slums. Many are girls, those affected by HIV/AIDS and working children.
"DFIDs contribution and our collective commitment, is to ensure through KESSP, that all children can access their right to basic education and that quality education and training for all Kenyans is achieved.
The scaling up of DFIDs support to education in Kenya and the provision of longer term predictable financing reflects our confidence in the strong national leadership and commitment to the sector; the success of the Free Primary Education policy and existing large scale programmes; and the preparation of good strategies and plans for the development of education and achievement of the MDGs. The DFID grant funding will be pooled with other Development Partners contributions and Government of Kenya funds in a special KESSP Account. Eligible items of expenditure will be reimbursed following submission of regular financial monitoring reports. In agreement with Government of Kenya, progress will be jointly reviewed by Government of Kenya, Ministry of Education and Development Partners at an Annual Joint Review of the Education Sector and Annual Budget and Workplan Meeting.

North Dakota's Breitbach becomes head coach at Millersville
Grand Forks, ND – Offensive coordinator Greg Breitbach has left the University of North Dakota football program to become the head coach at Millersville University.
Breitbach will be introduced on Friday at a news conference at the Division II school in southeast Pennsylvania.
He has spent the last seven seasons as an assistant coach at UND, including the past five as the team's offensive coordinator. He also coached running backs and quarterbacks during his tenure.
"It was a tough decision, but the opportunity to be a head coach at the collegiate level has always been a dream of mine and Millersville felt like the right place for me to take that next step in my coaching career," Breitbach said. "I do believe great things are in store for the UND football program as it continues to climb the Big Sky Conference ladder. I look forward to supporting UND now from a distance and watching as that success unfolds."
UND head coach Chris Mussman said wide receivers coach Luke Schleusner will handle the offensive coordinator duties during spring football practices, which begin on Friday.

Dr. Bryan Vartabedian, 33 charts, is the host for this week's Grand Rounds! You can read this week's edition here.
The reason I love grand rounds is that it offers me the opportunity to see stuff that I might normally overlook.No themes here, per se. Just some good stuff from around the web. The response was great and all offered something unique. I have chosen, however, to select some of the best material for your reading pleasure. Rather than generate a massive dung heap of disconnected links that no one can practically manage, I have made the administrative decision to focus on some of the more compelling content. I've also tried to place an emphasis on new, potentially understated blogs that might not otherwise see the light of day.Buckle your seatbelt and keep your arms inside the vehicle.

……………….………….Dr. Itzhak Brook, My Voice, shares an essay at KevinMD: A laryngectomy shakes this physician to the core
As an infectious diseases physician with a special interest in head and neck infections, I had extensive experience in otolaryngological illnesses. However, when I was exposed to new, different, and challenging experiences as a neck cancer patient, I had to deal with these as a patient — not as a physician. I endured the consequences of radiation, repeated surgeries, and prolonged hospitalizations. I confronted medical errors in my care, discrimination following loss of my vocal cords, and the hardships of regaining my ability to speak. ………….
Listening to NPR last week, I caught Tina Brown discussing her Must Read selections for the week. The one that caught my attention was the story of the 'The Man Who Saw Too Much'. It profiles Michael Ferrara who suffered PTSD as a first responder.
The original article in the January 2011 issue of Outside Magazine is by Hampton Sides: "The Man Who Saw Too Much"
LOOKING BACK over his nearly 30 years as a highly decorated first responder in Colorado's Roaring Fork Valley, Michael Ferrara has trouble pinpointing the exact moment when his life began to unravel. His ordeal arrived not all at once but in a long spool of assaults on his soul and psyche. A plausible starting point, though, might be March 29, 2001, and a nightmare that occurred at the airport in Aspen. ………
Starting in March, to boost the profile of his First Responder Recovery Project, Ferrara plans to ski across the state of Alaska.

KevinMD has written a commentary, Old Doctors Who Continue to Practice, which was inspired by the NYTimes article, Worry Grows About Aging Doctors' Fitness to Practice. The NY Times article begins this way:
About eight years ago, at the age of 78, a vascular surgeon in California operated on a woman who then developed a pulmonary embolism. The surgeon did not respond to urgent calls from the nurses, and the woman died.…., he continued to perform operations for four years until the board finally referred him for a competency assessment …..
"We did a neuropsychological exam, and it was very abnormal," said Dr. William Norcross, director of the physician assessment program there, who did not identify the surgeon. "This surgeon had visual-spatial abnormalities, could not do fine motor movements, could not retain information, and his verbal I.Q. was much lower than you'd expect."
Jessica, Endless Knots, has a nice post on "Taking verbatim notes." She describes how she does just that when conducting interviews in a step-by-step process:
……….Which brings me to my method for taking verbatim notes, which I'm guessing a lot of other writers/consultants use but just in case you don't...here goes. ……...1. Open your fave word processing program and …..2. In Tools>Autocorrect, enter abbreviations for the words you're most likely to hear your interviewees say. Example: current project is in healthcare.

Diabetes is a complex of disorders characterized by a common final element of hyperglycemia and vascular injury. The pathogenetic differences between type 1 and 2 diabetes are universally recognized, as are the emerging subdivisions of non-insulin dependent diabetes or NIDDM. Common to these is a need to understand the diverse molecular mechanisms that lead to hyperglycemia. All of the various forms of diabetes, arising from differing initiating lesions, share complications, which occur frequently and exact a heavy toll on patients and families.
The Diabetes Center operates in the belief that applying the increasingly sophisticated biochemical, physical, mathematical and molecular biologic tools available to problems relating to the origin of diabetes or its complications will improve the lives of patients with diabetes or patients at risk to developing the disease.
The vision of the Diabetes Center is two-fold.
Second, through the Assay and Animal Characterization Core Laboratory, the Center seeks to implement and if need-be develop for members state-of-the-art methods for studying the pathogenesis and complications of diabetes. First, the Center seeks to foster and support research into the nature of the biologic and clinical problems encompassed by diabetes.
Diabetes Center Core Laboratories
- Assay and Animal Characterization Core
The research focus of the Diabetes Center members includes:
- Pancreatic Islet Biology and Genetics
- The Control of Plasma Glucose in the Clinical Environment
- Insulin Action and Resistance
- Diabetes Complications
The Diabetes Center has previously been supported in part by a Diabetes Endocrine Research Center (DERC) grant from the NIDDK of the NIH.

FDA approves new colon-cleansing drug for colonoscopy prep
On July 16, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Prepopik (sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide and citric acid) to help cleanse the colon in adults preparing for colonoscopy.
One dose of Prepopik consists of two packets of powder, each dissolved in cold water and taken at separate times. Patients should take Prepopik the night before colonoscopy and the morning of colonoscopy (Split-Dose regimen). If this is not possible, patients may take Prepopik in the afternoon and evening before the colonoscopy (Day-Before regimen).
As part of this colon-cleansing regimen, patients taking Prepopik must consume additional fluids during and after use. Additional fluid intake is also important to reduce the risk of fluid and electrolyte imbalance. The most common side effects reported in adult patients taking Prepopik include nausea, headache and vomiting.
"The choice of a bowel cleansing regimen for colonoscopy should be based on a patient's health and personal preferences," says Victoria Kusiak, M.D., deputy director of the Office of Drug Evaluation III in FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "Today's approval provides a new treatment option for patients and doctors to consider."
The safety and effectiveness of Prepopik were established in two clinical studies with about 1,200 adult patients scheduled to have a colonoscopy. Patients were randomly assigned to take the Prepopik Split-Dose regimen, the Day-Before regimen, or a control preparation consisting of polyethylene glycol plus electrolytes (PEG+E) solution and two 5-milligram bisacodyl tablets.
The studies were designed to measure the number of patients whose colons were cleansed successfully. In both studies, Prepopik was as effective as the control preparation in cleansing the colon. In the study in which Prepopik was administered in the Split-Dose regimen, it was superior to the control preparation in cleansing the colon. In the Split-Dose regimen, Prepopik is administered on the day before colonoscopy and on the morning of colonoscopy. The control preparation of the study was administered entirely the day before colonoscopy.
As a condition of approval, Prepopik's manufacturer Ferring Pharmaceuticals must conduct studies to determine if the drug can be used safely and effectively in children.
Ferring Pharmaceuticals is based in Parsippany, N.J.

The FDA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, protects the public health by assuring the safety, effectiveness, and security of human and veterinary drugs, vaccines and other biological products for human use, and medical devices.

Wi-Fi is available in the Royal Fern Hall.
This 247.1-acre Designated Urban Wilderness Area takes its name from the abundance of ferns (more than 30 species) found on the property. It was this botanical richness that attracted the interest of scientists from Florida Atlantic University and Broward Community College (now Broward College), who in 1979 published an article called "A Tropical Fern Grotto in Broward County, Florida" in the American Fern Journal. "Vegetation in the area is complex, with swamp forest, hammocks, pinelands, and fallow fields," noted the article. The researchers indicated that they had discovered "over 200 species of plants, and the list grows with each visit," and characterized the site as "the last remaining stronghold of ferns in southeastern Florida." In fact, 10 plant communities have been identified within the nature center, making it one of the finest examples of preserved native plant communities in South Florida. The nature center is also part of the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail.
Entrance Boardwalk: There is an informational kiosk located at the entrance to this boardwalk, which covers a two-to-three-minute scenic walk from the parking lot to the nature center building and the entrance to the trails.
Exhibit Hall: Includes interpretive exhibits of the park's historical and natural history, along with displays of live native reptiles. Located on the first floor adjacent to the park office.
Royal Fern Hall: A 2,343-square-foot (120-175 capacity, depending on setup) assembly hall with warming kitchen and buffet counter, located on the second floor of the nature center. Available by reservation for meetings, receptions, etc. Reservation fee and deposit required. Wi-Fi available.
Amphitheater: Covered and open on three sides (120 capacity). Available for weddings, concerts, etc. Reservation fee and deposit required.
Public Art and Design: Fern-Lore Guardian is a bronze-and-cedarwood work created by Jerome Meadows and installed in the park in December 1993. The pair of sculptures, easily visible from an elevated boardwalk, stands out in the woods, not far from the back of the nature center at the entrance to the trails. The artist's statement explains that the piece is "a site-specfiic work commissioned expressly for the Fern Forest Nature Center. The sculpture draws visual and conceptual reference from seeds and plants, juxtaposing organic wood forms with metal."
Picnic Area: Six picnic tables available on a first-come, first-served basis. No fires or grills permitted.
Shelter: One medium-size shelter (40 capacity), with eight picnic tables, water, electricity, and lights. Reservation fee and deposit required.
Cypress Creek Trail: A half-mile, wheelchair-accessible boardwalk through a tropical hardwood hammock, a cypress-maple swamp, and transitional communities.
Prairie Overlook Trail: This one-mile trail loops through an open prairie and an oak/cabbage palm community and includes an eight-foot-tall observation platform.
Maple Walk: A one-third-mile trail through a red maple swamp. Often soggy and muddy - boots are recommended.
Wetlands Wander: This interpretive trail runs an eighth of a mile along a canal, through a wetland community and a butterfly garden.
Sensory Garden Trail: A quiet area for relaxation and reflection.
Volunteer Opportunities: Fern Forest's volunteer opportunities include native plant restoration/exotic removal, environmental education, clerical work, special events, trail upkeep, and trail interpretation. We are happy to work with you to find a good fit for your interests and schedule. Volunteers meet periodically for training and social events. The Fern Allies, the center's volunteer organization, contributes greatly to the operation of the nature center.
EcoAction Days: Volunteer workdays are held on the first Saturday of every month from October through May, from 9 a.m. to noon. This is a great opportunity for students to get service hours. All participants must bring a completed workday application and a photo I.D. to the workday. Visit the Volunteers Web page for the workday application. For additional information, call 954-357-5198.
Environmental and Scouting Programs: Getting people of all ages involved in the appreciation of nature is the focus of many of the programs at Fern Forest. Opportunities include activities for boy and girl scouts, children's programs, school field trips, private group tours, special events, and more. Call the nature center at 954-357-5198 for more details and to make reservations.
Pets: No pets are allowed within the boundaries of the nature center.
Broward County Transit: The nature center is accessible via Routes #31 and #42.
A Little History: When the nature center opened to the public on November 17, 1985, it marked the culmination of a process that began in 1977. That's when the Land Use Plan mandated the first major stage of an expansion of the county's park system, followed a year later by the voters' approval of a $73 million bond issue to finance that expansion. In 1979, part of that money went to the Palm Aire Development Corporation, in exchange for most of the land that became Fern Forest. The site was previously known as Cypress Creek Hammock, a nod to its status as a remnant of the Cypress Creek drainage system, authorized in the early 1900s as a way to create more land suitable for farming. The surrounding area had a long history as farmland, dating back to the late 19th century, first for such crops as pineapples, tomatoes, beans, and peppers, and later for dairy farming. Portions of the surrounding area were also home to logging and milling operations in the 1930s.

I reckon do the essays but expose how immoral the bible can be, also put little captions around the points where the snake talks to Adam and Eve (like what!!?) or show the similarities between homeless people who talk to burning bins with Moses talking to the burning bush... Id have fun with it:)
I'm sorry you had to go through that man, it does suck being ostracized for something as intangible as a belief, hope things work out!!
Try using the Skeptic's Annotated Bible as a resource. After the first few "Chapter Reports" your mom may relent.
Thanks for this link. Its helpful in pointing out that the apostles could't even agree on what happened. After all, around 40 years had passed before they wrote anything down. Memory can be faulty even in the absence of Alzheimers.
Your parents are acting normal and consistent to what they taught you to believe ... if they truly believe fundie dogma. I am sure they will not sleep well at night for at least a year... the fear of you burning in their idea of hell is real and a emotional terror as real as you getting cancer. So as much as they hurt you by there attemp to cure you of this deadly athiesim, they will start seeing you being the same you... It takes time...and most times gets better.
First of all, let me say I can highly sympathize with your situation. I was raised in a household that sounds very similar to yours and at times it was contentious, condemning and more than a little scary. My advice is to do the essay from a scholarly point of view, highlighting what we actually know about the stories and their appearance (or lack thereof) in contemporary literature.
Toward that end, I recommend that you check out some books and videos that do neutral, scholarly expositions on the Bible. I highly commend to your attention the lectures and books of Bart Ehrman, the very detailed discourses by youtuber brettppalmer and the deconversion series on YouTube by Evid3nc3.

Deconversion Series by Evid3nc3
The Bible with Sources Revealed
I have found all of these resources very useful in my own deconversion experience, as they take a lot of the scariness out of theology, removing it from the supernatural and exposing it as very human and ordinary.
Tyler, i just want to say that i'm sorry for your unfortunate experience. i too was a teenage Atheist (long ago, i'm afraid) but it wasn't something that i ever spoke about. unlike today, i had nowhere to turn to except my local library, whereas today, you have so many wonderful resources at your disposal. use them, and use them well.
read your Bible, as many Atheists know it is often a great reinforcement for what you dislike about religion. i fear, however, that if you are honest with your evaluation of their Good Book (what a misnomer, right?) the conversation with your parents won't get very far.
i might suggest you write them a letter explaining yourself. they may not want to hear the words come out of your mouth, but if it's on paper they are more likely to give it it's just due. they may even take it to their priest for his evaluation. mission accomplished. and at least your opinions can be flushed out, and not interrupted by anyone.
This thread has been here a while and there's some good advice but I thought I'd throw this in. Why not do some thorough research not on what the bible says but where it came from, how it became what it is, etc. That kind of research really cinched things for me. Christians memorize the book without ever, ever, EVER learning the truth about how it came to them. Thinking minds can not ever consider the bible a valid book if they know how screwy its history is. ...of course devout christians rarely have "thinking minds."
If you are still not yet an adult, then I would approach the assignment from a critical perspective. Point out the contradictions and demonstrable falsehoods. Point out just how immoral many Biblical teachings are. Anytime something is metaphorical or the product of its times, that's another way of saying it is wrong. This book--or collection of books--was supposedly written at the instruction of an omnipotent and omniscient deity. Anything that is not literary, factual, and logical perfection is evidence that it is false. The very premise of Christianity is immoral in the extreme. We are born guilty for something we never did (I've never met a talking snake--have you?) and for being a way that is not our fault (why did God make us sinful?). To get around this, God becomes a person and his own dad (where did JC get his Y chromosome?) and had himself tortured and killed. The gruesome death of this innocent man somehow makes us all less guilty and not more so. The virtue of suffering and especially vicarious suffering has got to be the most immoral, unethical, cruel, and barking mad idea ever invented by the psychotic minds of priests.

Andres Serrano (American, b. New York 1950)
Untitled VII (Ejaculate in Trajectory), 1989
Photograph: 40 x 60 in. (101.6 x 152.4 cm); frame: 45 1/8 x 65 in. (115.6 x 165.1 cm)
Roush Fund for Contemporary Art, 1989
This large Cibachrome is essentially abstract and stark; the single mark of Serrano's ejaculate streaks in a whitish-violet arc with gold highlights across a black background.
Untitled VII (Ejaculate in Trajectory) falls within a series of Serrano's work that utilizes human bodily fluids in visually dynamic and politically charged images. During the mid to late 1980s, the artist photographed urine, menstrual blood, mother's milk, and male ejaculate to explore issues surrounding Catholicism and sexuality, as well as formal aesthetic problems.
During 1987, Serrano's photographs, along with the work of artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe and Karen Finley, became the focus of intense criticism by political conservatives and right-wing religious groups. His Piss Christ (1987, which is a photograph of a small crucifix submerged in the artist's urine, became nearly synonymous with the funding crisis that surrounded the National Endowment of the Arts.1
Although executed during this period of public discourse on sexuality, obscenity, and public funding of the arts, Untitled VII does not have the iconic immediacy of Piss Christ or the specificity of his portrait photographs of members of the Klu Klux Klan (1990). Untitled VII is an abstract and generalized image of male sexuality, and functions much like Serrano's photographs of women's menstrual blood, such as Bloodstream (1987). Both works aestheticize bodily fluids that are gender specific and socially taboo.Untitled VII is from an edition of three, plus a single artist's proof, printed in this format (101.6 x 152.4 cm). There are also ten prints of the image in a smaller format (69.9 x 101.6 cm). The series of photographs of the artist's ejaculations are numerically ordered up to fifteen, but only ten have so far been printed by the artist.2

Work reproduced with permission of Andres Serrano
Born in New York City in 1950, Serrano is the son of a Honduran father, who abandoned the family, and an African-Cuban mother, who did not speak English. Serrano developed an early interest in art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and began to study painting at the Brooklyn Museum School at the age of seventeen. While there he discovered photography, but after two years abandoned his formal education due to a drug addiction, and stopped creating art for several years. In the late 1970s, Serrano was able to break his drug dependency and return to photography. After five years of street portraits and landscapes, Serrano produced his first major series that merged his interest in Catholicism and his interest in Dada and Surrealist art. In 1985 he began a series of works that incorporated human bodily fluids, and in 1987 he created what has become his signature image, Piss Christ. In 1990 Serrano began a series of portraits of homeless men and women, members of the Klan, and Catholic clerics. In 1992, Serrano investigated the issues of death and violence in a series of photographs taken in a morgue. More recently he created a series of photographs entitled the History of Sexuality.

Technical Data
This Cibachrome was printed on a glossy-finish polyester-film base support, and mounted with silicone to the back of a sheet of plastic glazing (most likely acrylic or polycarbonate). The photograph and the attached glazing were not unframed for examination, as this would have provided little additional information about the condition or manufacture of the piece. The work appears to be in good condition. The upper left corner is slightly clouded by spots, possibly residues on the photograph or surface alterations to the glazing, or both.

McDermott Scholars Alumni Make Gift, Repay Generosity
Apr. 17, 2013
McDermott Scholar alumni gathered to celebrate the reflecting pool that now bears their organization's name.
As students, the McDermott Scholars are recognized as some of the best and brightest young minds in the nation. As alumni, they've recently added "philanthropist" to their list of accomplishments.
The Eugene McDermott Scholars Alumni Association made a $100,000 campaign commitment to honor their education at UT Dallas and the beloved donor who made it possible. The association's contribution to the Campus Enhancement Fund will provide for the support of new trees, water features and gathering areas.
The McDermott Scholars Program brings some of the nation's top students to UT Dallas as a result of Mrs. Eugene McDermott's generous support of her husband's dream, which began with founding the University.
"Thank you, UT Dallas, for your leadership, professors, programs—for all the moments that now motivate us to give back and, more importantly, to work together."
Andres Correa BA'05,
president of the McDermott Scholars Alumni Association
Approximately 20 McDermott Scholars are selected each year from the top few percent of the nation's high school seniors on the basis of their academic, extracurricular and leadership achievements.
"A very basic question behind all of this is, 'Why are we doing this?' " said Andres Correa BA'05, president of the association. "As McDermott alumni, there are obvious reasons—chiefly our gratitude to a program and a university that paid for our education and that supported our projects and endeavors for four years. And of course, to Mrs. McDermott, who has made so much possible for us and for this University."
To thank the alumni group, one of the five reflecting pools at the center of campus now bears the association's name. The signage was unveiled at a special ceremony this spring for the alumni as well as candidates for the incoming class of McDermott Scholars who were on campus for final interviews. The pools stretch from the Naveen Jindal School of Management, past the Student Union, to the Eugene McDermott Library. The alumni chose to name the pool closest to the library as a symbolic show of gratitude to the McDermott family.
"This collective effort by one group of alumni is both remarkable and inspiring," said Dr. Aaron Conley, vice president for development and alumni relations. "This was done entirely on their initiative and has become one of the most heartfelt stories of our Realize the Vision campaign."
The naming of the reflecting pool is just one part of the association's pledge to give back. Its $100,000 commitment also will fund a special grants program that will benefit promising research or travel projects for current students. For their generosity, the alumni of the McDermott Scholars were honored with the Green and Orange Award for Alumni Service last year.
"Thank you, UT Dallas, for your leadership, professors, programs—for all the moments that now motivate us to give back and, more importantly, to work together," said Correa.

Some fans voiced their concern over Lightning's new look in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy VIII. The developers explain why Lightning looks the way she does, as well as getting into some more details on the story.
Please dont even joke to taint FFVIII legacy with Lightning garbage.
I dont like Lightning so whatever she wears i dont for the life of me care.
The whole game reminds me of an assassins creed RPG, with a Final fantasy title
I would rather they explain why this game takes precedence over Versus XIII when no one asked for that.
My apologies to everyone. Having written the article, I will make sure to fix the Roman numerals ASAP. I never was good at those :P (Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII)

Federal agencies are drowning in an ever-increasing tidal wave of records, causing many agencies to exceed their annual records management budgets by an average of 17 percent, or $5 million, according to a new MeriTalk survey of federal records managers.
After initial wariness, OMB and NARA are pursuing cloud computing as an option for agencies overwhelmed by the number of records they manage. Read more.
A single federal agency currently spends an average of $34.4 million per year on records management, and manages an average of 209 million records. That number is expected to increase as much as 144 percent -- to 511 million records -- by 2015, according to the study report, "Federal Records Management: Navigating the Storm."
Across the 40 main federal agencies, the number of records is expected to grow from 8.4 billion to 20.4 billion, the report said. The findings are based on an online survey of 100 federal records managers and 100 federal finance professionals conducted in September 2012.
Respondents said that problems with managing records hinder agency operations. For example, 41 percent of documents that are created electronically are managed in paper format, the survey found. The managers estimated that they lose 18 percent of their total budget annually due to inefficient records management.
The survey found that 62 percent of records are managed in-house, 11 percent are managed by the National Archives and Records Administration but are accessible to agency users and 5 percent are managed by an outside vendor. Nine percent of respondents said they didn't know how the records were managed.
Respondents pointed to better training for records management personnel (43 percent), more funding (33 percent), and more support from agency leadership (32 percent) as the top ways to improve managing records. By focusing on those three factors, federal finance professionals estimate saving 24 percent of their records management budget, and records management professionals estimate the savings at 36 percent.
This could mean an annual savings of $8.3 million to $12.4 million per agency and between $330 million and $495 million government-wide each year, according to the study, which was underwritten by Iron Mountain, a provider of storage and information management services.
The growth in federal record volumes will only continue, driving up budgets and making it harder for agencies to manage information on their own, said Sue Trombley, managing director of consulting for Iron Mountain, in a release.
Most agency managers know they need outside help to get their arms around the problem and, as a result, are looking for alternatives from the development of strategic plans to agency-wide collaboration and training to implementing technology solutions and policy guidance, Trombley said.
The report recommends making records management an executive priority and investing in training. On the technology front, agency managers should adopt smart digitization methods and timely destruction of records. A common mistake when converting paper records to an electronic format is to scan and then save everything.
Instead, agency managers should consider what records they have, who needs them, for what purpose and for how long. Then they should digitize those records first and destroy older inactive records no longer needed for compliance or business reasons, the report states.

Content Management is another term that is being used which is more encompassing with regard to other media types than Document Management. As many agencies consider moving data storage to the Cloud, remember that Record Management planning up front can also save time and money.
Organizational files are normally found on a shared drive for internal access by employees who have a need to know. Automated files do not help the user when auditors pull 5 yrs worth of audits that can date back to 15 years. Doing more with less is not cost effective to spend time searching records. Automated records management system in the past was down more than up; thus paper record keeping. Record management act more like a power hungry officer w/authority versus providing a service to their customers when asked for assistance. Records management is normally not a priority when there are more pressing issues/deadlines that have to be met. It's do the job when you find additonal time which never happens.
Document management is formidable challenge but I feel this is too narrow a focus. The management effort should be on information management, how that information is being collected and where it needs to be shared. Part of why we have a paper burden is that it is the only way to share it with someone who needs it. Automating documents is not the answer, process automation along with the ability to easily pass that information to other systems should be our focus. It will take a lot of coordination and cooperation, but in the long run, its the only answer to this problem.

Light-Hearted Art: 10 Prints to Lift Your Spirits
Art should always add good-looking and personal detail to your home, but my favorite prints elicit my smile and sometimes a little laugh.
Clearly everyone will have different preferences and reactions. That said, I don't know anyone who could feel gloomy looking at that beach photograph (see how good the giant version from the same series looks in a real home.)
When you do identify art that creates that positive feeling, do yourself a favor and position it where you'll see it often. I have the second print shown, by Kate Pugsley, hanging just inside my entryway to greet me every day (and remind me to take it easy).

SACRAMENTO — State Sen. Jerry Hill grew up in San Francisco and vividly remembers the rare suffocating days of late summer when the fog fled and people sweltered.
The city's natural air conditioner clicked off, temperatures soared into the 90s and — back then — the skies boiled into a toxic soup.
"There'd be four or five hot days, around 1963 and 1964, when I was playing high school football and the smog was so thick I couldn't run 10 yards without stopping and choking to get air," remembers Hill, 65, new chairman of the Senate Environmental Quality Committee.
"We've come a long way. The air is pretty much smog-free now. I don't want to weaken any of the [environmental] laws. A lot of people consider them a nuisance, but we're living longer and our quality of life is much better."

New on Ebay for $90.00 or Skyline Engineering for $129.00. Just replaced old board with the new one from Ebay works great. Note I am running Windows 7. Good luck.

Baemanuel: I see your post about a new DG33SXG2 on ebay or skyline engineering. What did you replace it with? I see Intel Quads but they seem to vary in price and description. What would I be looking for? I have a Gateway GT5628 and the motherboard has a component that is not compatible with Win7. Is it hard to replace a motherboard? If I keep spending money, I could just buy a new computer.
This is what a scan says I have The above model with 2 quad dpuQ6600 @ 2.4oGHz Cpu Socket socket 775 LGA.
4. Re: DG33SXG2 Board compatibilityKnowbody Jan 14, 2010 8:26 PM (in response to jottman)
I have this same board.
A quad CPU 2.4 giga hertz.
I have upgraded to windows 7 from windows vista, both home premium.
Now it is saying that I can not install the drivers for Intel management engine interface. I have downloaded this driver and attempted to install it, but It simply refuses to install it.
Also, I do not have drivers for " PCI simple communication controller" I have tried to download drivers for this and it installs, later I go back to it and it says none are installed.
I like a fast computer and that is why I bought this one.
Fewer hours waiting mean more hours doing.
My performance rating on the CPU and memory after I installed windows 7 were both rated at: 7.1, now they are 4.3 and 5.0.
I put in a VelociRaptor drive in to speed up the hard drive. and it is the slowest part of the system.
This western digital hard drive is supposed to have 3 gbs transfer speed, but it is just slightly faster than the stock hard drive.

But I don't know if the motherboard can run DDR3 since there are DDR2 bars inside it at the moment and my videocard is a MSI NX8600GT working on DDR2. I can't find anything on the net that tells me if this board can run on DDR3...Thank you in advance

Dear LEGO,
I just discovered something today that I found quite a welcome surprise in set 8634 Mission 5: Turbocar Chase. Silver bricks. Not chrome, but the same silvered paint process apparently that you've put the 2007 Castle helms for minifigures through. They are fantastic looking. I never thought I'd see the day when a set had a quantity of silver bricks.
So this begs the question LEGO, when are you going to make a nice Star Wars: Queen's Royal Starship from Episode 1?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -
Santa Barbara dropped a hard fought contest to Mountain Pacific Sports Federation team Cal State Northridge on Saturday at Campus Pool, 6-5. The teams tied the score twice and neither team led by more than two at any point in the match. The Gauchos drop to 14-19 overall and 2-10 in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation.
The first quarter was very low scoring for both teams with neither team scoring until the sixth minute of play. UCSB sophomore utility Gillian Morgan scored off a skip shot on a fast break to give the Gauchos an early 1-0 lead.
Santa Barbara scored first again in the second stanza, 2.4 minutes into the quarter. Senior center Sarah Kovach scored on a skip shot with an assist from senior defender Aimee Stachowski. Kovach scored again less than a minute later with a shot that the CSUN goalie was not expecting and the Gauchos took a 3-0 lead.
The Matadors scored their first goal of the game with a shot from Northridge junior two-meter Christine Cruz that went over the head of UCSB goalie Jenny Gonzales. Next up, Northridge's junior two-meter Dayna Van Gorder went into the right corner to bring CSUN within one, 3-2. With two minutes to play, junior two-meter Allison Brookes took a powerful shot from five meters out to knot the score at three. Neither team was able to put a successful offensive together and the teams went into the halftime break tied at three.
It was déjà vu in the third period with another one-goal period. With 2:07 remaining in the period, Northridge's Van Gorder went around Gonzales to give CSUN its first lead of the game, 4-3. Despite a cumulative four ejections in the period, neither team was able to score and the Gauchos went into the fourth period down 4-3.
Santa Barbara won the fourth quarter spring behind junior attacker Lindsay Knott to begin the period. After another Gaucho had stolen the ball from the CSUN offense, freshman utility Christie Clark went on a fast break and went one-on-one with the goalie and scored to tie the game at four with roughly four minutes remaining in regulation.
It was Northridge's turn to score next off a skip-shot goal from Cruz 30 seconds later to return the lead to CSUN, 5-4. Cruz scored again for the Matadors three minutes later to distance themselves by two, 6-4. With just nine seconds remaining in the game, Morgan scored with a shot from seven meters to bring the Gauchos within one, 6-5. Santa Barbara was unable to score in the final moments and the Matadors won the MPSF game, 6-5.
The Gauchos will say goodbye to their seven seniors and play non-conference opponent Saturday afternoon against Chapman at Campus Pool at 4:15 p.m.
