Flood insurance policy holders would do well to flood their savings accounts with extra dollars in the months ahead.
Significant premium increases will take effect this October for many property owners as part of changes to the National Flood Insurance Program. The NFIP is a federal initiative that insures property located in low-lying areas against floods, which are not covered under homeowner's insurance policies.
Premiums will increase by an average of 10 percent annually for the next five years as the Federal Emergency Management Agency builds up a reserve fund for the NFIP. Coastal hurricanes such as Sandy and Katrina and the floods that have plagued areas along the Mississippi and other rivers in recent years have left the NFIP $28 billion in debt.
"For decades the program has made flood insurance available at subsidized rates that did not reflect the true risk of flooding. Artificially low rates and discounts are no longer sustainable," said Kristin Robinson, a senior advisor to the National Association of Realtors.
The premium increases and other NFIP changes will be discussed today as part of the annual Hurricane Preparedness Expo. The event, put on by the Governor's Office of Insurance, runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Victory Drive Home Depot, located just west of the Victory Drive-Skidaway Road intersection.
The state insurance commissioner, Ralph Hudgens, as well as FEMA representatives and city and county flood plain management staff, will be among those on hand to answer questions and review flood maps with property owners.
Many Savannah-area flood policy holders will see premiums increase well beyond the 10 percent average.
Most business properties, vacation homes and other non-principal residences built prior to when the first Flood Insurance Rate Map was drawn up for Chatham County, will see a 25 percent increase annually.
"Most of us who buy property in coastal areas understand you pay to play, but nobody knew we would end up paying that much," said Marsheila Rhodes, an insurance agent with local firm Bush Insurance & Financial Agency. "It's getting more and more expensive to live in Coastal Georgia."
The NFIP changes will also require more diligence on the part of policy holders.
For those in pre-FIRM properties, or the properties built prior to the creation of the first Flood Insurance Rate Map, any lapse in policy will result in their properties being subject to the full risk rating and a substantial premium increase.
Those property owners will also be required to secure an elevation certificate from the county, which involves getting a costly property elevation survey.
For those policy holders with grandfathered rates on their flood insurance premiums, those rates will be phased out in 2016 with the schedule update of the local Flood Insurance Rate Map.
The NFIP changes will have an impact on the real estate market, although to what extent is uncertain, said the president of the Savannah Area Board of Realtors, Donna Davis.
New policies written after Oct. 1 will be subject to the full risk rating premiums. And higher premiums will drive up the monthly cost of owning a home in a flood zone, a consideration for many buyers.
Whether higher premiums reduce demand enough to harm values is unknown.
"We don't know enough about it yet to know the true impact," Davis said. "But it is one more thing to be factored in by the buyer."
When: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday
Where: Home Depot on Victory Drive
Info: Go to http://www.oci.ga.gov/FireMarshal/HurricaneExpo.aspx for more information.
The government website has information on flood zones, including a map and an explainer. Go to engineering.chathamcounty.org and click on the "Flood Zones" tab across the top of the home page to access the information.
The Biggert Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act passed last July and requires FEMA to make changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is $28 billion in debt. FEMA has created a reserve for the NFIP and will raise premiums and phase out grandfathered rates to fund the reserve.
Go to www.fema.gov and type "Flood Insurance Reform Act" into the search box on the top right-hand corner of the home page. Premium increases will take effect this October as part of the changes to the National Flood Insurance Program.

President Obama on Thursday endorsed his administration's decision to let girls as young as 15 purchase the morning-after pill over the counter.
"I'm very comfortable with the decision [the Food and Drug Administration] made right now based on solid scientific evidence for girls 15 and older," Obama said during a joint press conference with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
Obama previously said that all girls younger than 17 should have to get a prescription to purchase Plan B, lamenting the prospect of them buying the product "alongside bubble gum or batteries."
At the same time, Obama backed his Justice Department's appeal of a federal court ruling that would allow all girls to purchase the pill over the counter.
The president is taking heat from those on both sides of the debate. His liberal base condemned the Justice Department appeal, saying it undercut the president's pledge to protect contraceptive rights. And conservatives are hammering Obama for not keeping restrictions in place for those younger than 17.
Obama insisted during the press conference Thursday that he played no role in either the FDA's new rules or the Justice Department's appeal.

Peridot in Colorado abstract from Rocky Mountain Gemstone Symposium, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado, September 7, 8, 9, & 10th, 2002
Peridot in Colorado
By John A. Rhoads
D&J Rare Gems, Ltd.
A small but significant deposit of gem grade peridot occurs within the San Isabel National Forest on the border of Fremont and Park counties in the vicinity of the junction of these two counties with Chaffee County. The map coordinates are N 38 degrees 41.50 minutes, W 105 degrees 51.60 minutes at an elevation of approximately 9,580 feet. The location can be found on the Cameron Mountain 15 quadrangle and 7.5 Gribbles Park USGS topographic maps. Access to the area can be obtained by taking Chaffee County Road 175 just north of Salida, Colorado, into Fremont County where it becomes Fremont County Rd 2 and turning left at the Everett Cattle Camp on the road to Herring Park and Cable Gulch. A rough dirt road that branches off from this road about two miles from the junction leads to the top of the mesa. The flat top mesa with the peridot bearing basalt
can be seen in the distance to the north approximately 2 miles away from the junction. The two mesas encompass an area of approximately 3 square miles in a very irregular shape. This areas has been known to produce gem grade peridot for many years although it has only been since the early 1990s that it became common knowledge to collectors.
The area appears to be covered by at least three separate episodes of basalt extrusion that occurred during the Tertiary Period. Capping the mesas is a reddish, highly gaseous basalt, known as scoria, that is barren of any included minerals. In some areas the cavities left by the gases are so numerous that even the largest boulders can be lifted with ease. Another episode of deposition of red basalt contains mostly black hornblende xenocrysts. Some of these inclusions are very rounded indicating some reabsorption during the migration of the magma. The peridot occurs in a gray, very solid basalt almost completely lacking in gas cavities. This basalt usually occurs beneath the other two episodes of deposition. This basalt is very tough and efforts to remove any of the peridot it contains usually results in fracturing of the peridot long before the basalt breaks. Underlying the basalt is a gray limestone, possibly the Leadville Formation of Pennsylvanian age.
Small gem grade pieces of peridot are found weathering out of the basalt that caps two small mesas in this area. The upper flat areas of the mesa are generally barren of peridot with most occurring on the slopes below the top appearing to weather out several feet beneath the upper most layer. The best collecting areas appear to occur where the slope is gentle just below the weathering layer allowing for the mineral grains to accumulate rather than disperse down a steeper slope. Over a dozen different locations on the slopes surrounding the mesas have been found to contain gem grade peridot although some are more productive than others.
Peridot is also found within the basalt in knots (peridotite xenoliths) up to 5 centimeter in diameter although these knots are highly fractured and do not produce single rough pieces of comparable size. Smaller, solid grains of peridot under a carat in size are predominate in some basalts while the highly fractured knots occur in others.
A second location, known as the Lone Pine area which is a small basalt knoll located approximately 2 miles south of the two mesas and is easily located and identified about a mile east of the junction of Fremont County Rd 2 and the Herring Park / Cable Gulch Road on Fremont County Rd 2 by the lone pine tree that grows on the northwestern edge of the deposit. This deposit contains a mix of both loose grains of peridot that have weathered out of the basalt as well as those frozen in the host rock.
The color of the peridot cut from the rough from this area is a very fine, medium, lime green. The color is fairly consistent throughout the deposit. Finished gems are very bright and popular among collectors for their fine color and luster.
Inclusions in the peridot are rare. Two gems cut from rough found approximately a mile apart contain during the 2002 collecting season contain similar, high relief, rounded crystals that so far have not been examined for identification.
Sizes of the rough and cut gems from these locations are small compared to peridot from other locations throughout the world. Most of the rough grains of peridot are well under a carat in size. Grains over a carat are fairly common with those over 2 carats being exceptional and any over three carats a major find. The largest rough piece known weighed 8.17 carats, however, the shape was very irregular and the gem cut from this piece of rough weighed only 1.54 carats. It is currently in the Denver Museum of Nature and Science collection. The largest recorded cut peridot from these locations is a 2.87 carat gem Robert Spomer cut for a client. A cushion cut gem weighing 2.47 cts was cut from a piece of rough weighing 5.44 carats by John Rhoads for a client. This gem was particularly clean of excellent quality. Another gem of 2.08 carats was cut from rough found in the Fall of 2001 by John Rhoads and is currently in the DMNS collection. Numerous gems between 1 and 2 carats in size have been cut by John Rhoads with several of them currently in the DMNS collection. Rumors of recent finds of rough as large as 14 carats have gone unsubstantiated.
Other minerals that are found in association with the peridot are black cleavage fragments of amphibole group minerals. Gem grade fragments of colorless quartz is found with the loose peridot. Some light purple quartz (amethyst) has been cut with a knot of this material discovered intact in September of 2001. Also a dark green mineral of gem grade has been found in association with the peridot that tests within the indices of enstatite although verification of this identification has not been established at the time of writing this report. (The gem cut from this dark green minerals has since been identified by GIA as "enstatite". December 2002)
Gem grade peridot has been reported from several other areas in the vicinity of this deposit but as of this writing none of them have been confirmed.
Current status of the area is pretty much open to collecting. During the mid-1990s Robert Spomer and several associates filed the Green Beebee claim on one of the more productive areas to keep it open to collecting. A few years later a group from Canon City, Colorado, have filed claims to the north of the mesa and are currently active according to one of the owners. Please observe their claim markers if in the area. These areas have since been heavily collected by rockhounds. The best time for collecting is immediately after a storm or following the melting of snow that covers the area during the winter. The area is usually accessible to collecting from late April until November. Caution should be taken if collecting during hunting season as this is a very popular area for deer, antelope, elk, and bears.
If planning on visiting this area to collect respect any current claims. Do not bury but carry out all trash. Remain on current roads with vehicles as flora in this area is very fragile and takes years to recover from even a single off road venture. Should you visit the area and find an exceptional piece of rough that results in a superior finished gem both Jack Murphy and Pete Modreski as well as myself would like to hear about it.
Happy collecting!

Queen Elizabeth's youngest son, Prince Edward, visited Tennessee on Thursday to promote one of the British royal family's charities, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.
The prince presided over an awards ceremony at the governor's mansion for the first batch of young Tennesseans to participate in the leadership and character program.
"Most of you are — how should I put this — guinea pigs? The first ones to go through the award," the prince said. "So you're leading the way here."
About 80 youths received the award by participating in community service, skills development, physical fitness and adventurous journeys through the Boy Scouts, Boys and Girls Clubs, LEAD Academy, Montgomery Bell Academy or the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Organization.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a self-development program for people between the ages of 14 and 25 that aims to instill confidence and skills. More than 8 million people in more than 140 countries have participated since it was founded in 1956 by the queen's husband, Prince Philip.
"What a fantastic moment to come receive your awards here at the mansion from the governor," Prince Edward said. "Welcome to an international family. ... It's great to see Tennessee taking part in this program and supporting it so well."
Nashville Mayor Karl Dean lauded the program's aims.
"The Duke of Edinburgh's Award falls directly in line with what our goals are for the people of Nashville," he said. "Education is our No. 1 priority, but not all the skills that are needed to prepare our students for success in life can be taught in a book."
Following the event, Gov. Bill Haslam and first lady Crissy Haslam invited the awardees and their families to tea inside the governor's residence. Later on Thursday, the prince was scheduled to headline a black-tie gala at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville.
Lady Diana and the two princes are the only people in the Royal family that I have respect for. Diana was very active in doing charity work because SHE CARED. Her two sons went into the military...they didn't have to, but they did...I RESPECT THAT! The rest of the family works hard at waving at people in parades and fox hunts. I wonder, the two sons must see the corruption in the politicians here.

Yesterday, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper delivered a remarkable address to the Israeli Knesset – remarkable because it demonstrated a true statesman and leader's support for Israel, something our own president could never do.
"Through fire and water, Canada will stand with you," Harper said, as reported by Israel Hayom. I couldn't help but reflect on and compare our own president's address to the Turkish general assembly or his speech at Cairo University with prominent Muslim Brotherhood leaders in the front rows – heck, during his visit to Israel he didn't even address the Knesset, instead holding a rah-rah rally at a local university.
Harper said he believed the story of Israel is a great example to the world:
It is a story, essentially, of a people whose response to suffering has been to move beyond resentment and build a most extraordinary society, a vibrant democracy, a freedom-loving country with an independent and rights-affirming judiciary, an innovative, world-leading 'start-up' nation.You have taken the collective memory of death and persecution to build an optimistic, forward-looking society, one that so values life you will sometimes release a thousand criminals and terrorists to save one of your own.
The Canadian Prime Minister also pointed out an insidious trend that I fear American Jews are missing completely: the rise again of anti-semitism in the West under the guise of criticism of Israel, cloaked in moral relativism.
In the garden of such moral relativism, the seeds of a much more sinister notion can be easily planted. And so we have witnessed in recent years the mutation of the old disease of anti-semitism and the emergence of a new strain.
In much of the western world, the old hatred has been translated into more sophisticated language for use in polite society. People who would never say they hate and blame the Jews for their own failings or the problems of the world, instead declare their hatred of Israel and blame the only Jewish state for the problems of the Middle East.
Liberal American Jews (of which there are many) are complicit. Witness Debbie Wasserman Schultz' foot-dragging in sanctions against Iran. I find it difficult to understand how the Jewish community can be so supportive of Obama when he is clearly not supportive of the Jewish State of Israel. Don't forget his "off mike" exchange with then-French President Sarkozy about Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Harper's passionate support for Israel so incensed two Israeli Arab Members of the Knesset that they shouted at him and walked out, after he decried the characterization of Israel as an apartheid state.
Consider the irony — Arab representatives in the Israeli Knesset shouting at a visiting Prime Minister, and walking out. If Israel was such an "apartheid state" would that be possible? How many Jews sit as members of parliamentary bodies in Arab, or Muslim nations?
Here where I live in South Florida there's a large Jewish community. Just recently a dear friend and my personal doctor, Glenn Myers, told me about an exchange he had with a fellow shul congregant who told him firmly, "Republicans hate President Obama because he is black."
Glenn asked me how someone could be so blinded by the truth? The simple answer is we have a liberal media that shields the truth and an electorate that, for whatever reason, rejects the truth.
No one "dislikes" President Obama because of his skin color. President Obama is not held in high regard for many reasons, but one of them surely must be because he would never have the courage or conviction to deliver an address like Canadian Prime Minister Harper.
What will it take for American Jews to understand the truth? We always say "never again," but we had better take heed of this new strain of anti-semitism – and be honest with ourselves about who truly is a friend of the Jewish State.

The owner of a home where an armed fugitive barricaded himself is outraged by the gaping holes SWAT officers left in the house's walls. Anne Trujillo reports.
Leo Lech is more than a little upset, and he is not afraid to express it with colorful language.

Home heavily damaged after standoff in Greenwood Village. (Lindsay Watts, 7NEWS)
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - "There was one gunman with a handgun and they chose to turn this house into something that resembles Osama Bin Laden's compound."
After all, the house he purchased for his son now has gaping holes where it once had walls and windows. Past the exposed studs and insulation of the condemned structure, you can see artwork on the wall of a 9-year-old boy's bedroom.
"In any civilized nation ... this is the act of paramilitary thugs," he says he told the chief of the Greenwood Village Police Department.
The chief, Lech said, brushed it off.
MORE | Commander says police 'won because we got him out alive'
The damage was inflicted by police and SWAT officers who were working to capture Robert Jonathan Seacat, a suspected 33-year-old shoplifter who allegedly barged into a random home Wednesday afternoon, and opened fire on police when they tried to arrest him a short time later.
The incident began Wednesday afternoon, when he was allegedly spotted shoplifting in Aurora. Seacat then drove to a nearby light rail station, where he ditched his car and ran.
Eventually, he ran into Lech's house on South Alton Street in Greenwood Village, where the 9-year-old boy was inside. Police dispatchers and the child's mother, who is engaged to Lech's son, talked the child out of the house.
The boy was unhurt, but the standoff was just beginning.
MORE | Hear from 9-year-old David Zebelyan
Seacat wasn't taken into custody until Thursday morning. The SWAT team said it used chemical agents, flash-bang grenades and a "breaching ram" to end the nearly 20-hour standoff.
"There was obviously some kind of explosive that was fired into here," Lech said, showing 7NEWS anchor Anne Trujillo the cavernous hole in the wall that used to protect the boy's bedroom.
Those holes are visible in nearly every room on the second floor.
A neighbor, who says the SWAT team used his home as a base of operations, points out that whatever the police used to blast the holes sent debris flying.
"When they used the explosives to blow apart the side of this house here, they broke our windshield," the neighbor said.
"There are holes just like this one all through the back of the house too," Lech said. "They methodically fired explosives into every room in this house in order to extract one person. Granted, he had a handgun, but against 100 officers? You know, the proper thing to do would be to evacuate these homes around here, ensure the safety of the homeowners around here, fire some tear gas through the windows. If that didn't work, you have 50 SWAT officers with body armor break down the door."
Lech estimated roughly that his plan would have caused $10,000 in damage, as opposed to the $250,000 in damage he believes he is facing.
"This is an abomination," he said. "This is an atrocity. To use this kind of force against one gunman."
Lech explains that he had owned the home for two years and rented it to his son. It is now uninhabitable and may need to be completely leveled.
His insurance will pay for the structure, but Lech's son did not have rental insurance and the possessions inside are therefore not being covered.
"There was an engagement ring in there that would have been John's great-great grandmother's. It survived two World Wars, OK, but it didn't survive the American police paramilitary operation."

TIME was when the cost of health was zero.
You got sick, walked into hospital and got treated. Period. But times have changed and the government can no longer afford to pay for everyone of us.
The same applies to education where we share costs. The best way we can ensure every Tanzanian has access to health services is through insurance; it's not costly if we were to figure out the cost of death.
That's why we applaud the counsel from Muleba District, Engineer Richard Runyango, who urged Tanzanians to join the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) and seize the opportunity to test their health status.
The NIHF costs just 76,800/- per head, which enables someone to get treatment throughout a given a year. That's a bargain, as the saying goes.
In particular, parents and guardians are advised to register their children and students aged below eight, under the Toto Afya Card for only 50,000/-. But the NIHF officials have a crucial role to play in educating the general public on the need to insure themselves against sickness.
A sage once said that the price of health could well be the cost of life if we don't act in time. It's a saying well meant for non-communicable diseases in particular – which we are told now accounted for 27 per cent for all mortality in 2008.
Cancers, non-communicable variants of respiratory diseases and diabetes, accounted for three per cent, according to recent records. Without health insurance cover, we stand no chance.
The State has envisaged a registration tipping 75,000 traditional healers and sellers of herbal cures. But only 1,000 have so far come out of their lairs. This is an incredible scenario. It has been determined that some healers hide their faces from visiting registration officials. People who consult healers come from all walks of life.
They include prominent business people, politicians, educationists, clerics, law enforcers, students, peasants and even trained medical workers. The list is difficult to close. These healers have been using rituals and herbal remedies to treat the sick for generations.
A number of their medicinal herbs seem to be effective where modern medical science has failed to find a cure. Some defeat tough medical conditions such as epilepsy. Nevertheless, healers cannot beat professional medics.
As disease incidence grows, insurance becomes the prime cost of life. Act wisely, insure yourself.

Obviously I'd like to make OWA more convenient for my users by only prompting them for their username and password once. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
Wow, I didn?t think you could have ISA and Proxy running on the same box. ISA is supposed to be an upgrade to Proxy 2.0. In either case, that may or may not be the problem.
There are certain conditions under which Integrated Windows Authentication must exist. First is that you cannot go through a proxy server when using Integrated Authentication. This type of authentication cannot be proxied, so if your users are accessing OWA via a Proxy or ISA, IWA will not work.
Another condition is at the client-side. First, if you are using Netscape, forget about it. Netscape doesn?t support IWA. You must use Internet Explorer for this. And when using IE, you either need to use a NetBIOS-based URL (e.g., http://server/exchange as opposed to http://server.mydomain.com/exchange or http://10.1.1.1/exchange).

"The book has done well in the UK and has been bought by publishers in lots of other countries. However, the major American publishers were reluctant to support a skeptical book, with some suggesting that I re-write it to suggest that ghosts were real and psychic powers actually existed! We didn't get any serious offers and so it looked like the American public (around 75% of whom believe in the paranormal) wouldn't get the opportunity to read about skepticism."Wiseman's solution is to release the book in the US himself, retitled as Paranormality: Why We Believe the Impossible. American readers can support the release (and get a great book on why people believe in implausible things – see his March cover story on ghosts for New Humanist) by buying either the hard copy or Kindle edition through Amazon.
It's quite a bizarre story, really (particularly the fact that Wiseman was asked to re-write bits to say the opposite of what he thinks). It's well-known that both religiosity and belief in the paranormal are greater in the US than Europe, yet at the same time all the big "New Atheist" books have been published and become big hits over there. Are ghosts and psychics really a bridge too far for American publishers? PZ Myers has a characteristically uncompromising take, saying Americans are being "insulted" by their publishers.
What do you think?

I'm the owner of Goodbee & Associates, a woman-run engineering firm in Centennial. I started my engineering firm 20 years ago with the hope of creating a more family-friendly work environment. In the engineering consulting field, I have seen far too many women leave their demanding jobs because the majority of employers in this industry have yet to embrace workplace flexibility and family-friendly practices. I support family medical leave insurance because I firmly believe it will ultimately enable mothers, caregivers, and women (and men) who need paid time off to take care of personal medical issues without having to choose between keeping their jobs and caring for their families.
I have had employees with cancer and ailing parents and children, and I am proud to say that they have never had to choose between their careers and their health or their family's needs. I believe family medical leave insurance because it will help ensure this is the norm and not the exception in small and large businesses alike.
What's more, many small business owners feel as I do that paid family and medical leave isn't just the right thing to do, but that it makes good business sense. Taking care of our employees is crucial to retaining a loyal, talented workforce. Many small business owners, myself included, think of their employees like family, so it's no surprise they support these types of programs. Policies such as these enable us to foster a better workforce while protecting both our workers and our bottom line.
Another similarity between my business and many other small firms is that we have some type of family leave policy already in place. I have an informal policy in place that's handled on a case-by-case basis with my employees. In all instances I pay the employee a portion of their salary while they're out because it's the right thing to do and it creates tremendous loyalty.
Small businesses understand the importance of policies like these because many are already dealing with or have dealt with such situations. I can say from experience that small businesses don't see a loss in productivity when employees take this type of leave, either.
As small business owners, we understand how important it is for our employees who need to balance their work and family responsibilities to have reasonable options for doing so—options that also meet the needs of us, their employers. Small businesses' support of family medical leave policies is proof of this.

World Green Building Week Cocktail Party: Green Leaders in the New Green Economy SOLD OUT
The Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) and Lend Lease invite you to celebrate the launch of World Green Building Week 2011 at Sydney's new environmentally sustainable development, Darling Quarter.
Join us on Monday 19 September for a special cocktail party at the new Sydney headquarters of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and to get a glimpse of this 'World Leading' 6 Star Green Star – Office Design v2 certified building.
In an evening of celebration, innovation and networking, we will examine the green building movement at home and around the world, learn how other countries are utilising green buildings to improve their outcomes for a cleaner and healthier environment, and toast to the achievements of Australia's building industry which is leading the development of green buildings and precincts.
World Green Building Week is a time to celebrate your achievements and showcase your industry as a true green building leader.
About Darling Quarter
Awarded a 6 Star Green Star – Office Design v2 rating in September last year, Commonwealth Bank Place at Darling Quarter is a low-rise campus style new building development. Aimed at revitalising a neglected space on the Darling Harbour Foreshore and reconnecting it to the city's CBD, Darling Quarter houses two eight storey commercial office towers, as well as a family and leisure precinct with retail and dining options, a new playground, children's theatre and public car park.
Environmentally sustainable design features, including a highly efficient building envelope, chilled beam technology and a tri-generation plant, are expected to save 2,500 tonnes of carbon emissions each year and reduce mains water consumption by 92 per cent.

Ben Harper is introducing his fiery new band, Relentless7, with a short tour of small clubs this month, and their second stop was Thursday at Spaceland in Los Angeles, where the four-piece unleashed 90 minutes of thundering rock and blues explosions. There was no "Steal My Kisses" or "Ground On Down" or any other fan favorites from earlier in Harper's career. The clear message was that this was a new band, with its own sound and energy.
The night opened with a tough, howling "Number With No Name," a song from their just-finished debut album, White Lies For Dark Times, set for release in May 2009. Harper sat with his lap-slide guitar and wailed, "For five days straight, I've been breathing fire!"
There was an intense, rumbling Bluesbreakers groove on "Dressed in Black" from drummer Jordan Richardson and bassist Jesse Ingalls, and Harper traded searing bolts of electric guitar with Jason Mozersky on "Lay There and Hate Me," a wild, melodic collision of Rolling Stones and Beatles influences. Harper picked up a Gibson Les Paul and told the capacity crowd, "People say you shouldn't smile when you make rock & roll, but fuck them."
The members of Relentless7 are originally from Austin, Texas, and first recorded with Harper on "Serve Your Soul," a track on his 2006 double-album, Both Sides of the Gun. They reconvened this summer and sessions for the new album were completed in November at the Village Studios in Los Angeles.
At Spaceland, the band's combined force was almost too big for the room. There was a soaring, emotional "Fly One Time" and the brooding 12-string acoustic ballad "Skin Thin." Mozersky brought a modern, echoing guitar edge to "Up to You Now," along with a sly Spaghetti Western vibe, as Harper sang a single, wailing note for what seemed like a full dramatic minute. Late in the set was a joyous cover of the Queen/Bowie 1981 duet "Under Pressure," with Harper taking both vocal parts, as fans sang along to the anxious closing moments.
In the small dressing room backstage soon after, Harper and the band celebrated with friends. Harper's wife Laura Dern gave him a long hug and actor David Arquette passed out fresh tamales just bought from a street vendor. Harper then placed a small "R7" decal on the wall, joining an overlapping collection of band names.
Just prior to the presidential election, Harper and Relentless7 performed several concerts as part of the Get Out and Vote! arena tour with the Beastie Boys and Tenacious D. But Harper is leading this tour through much smaller rock clubs, as if he wasn't already an established artist. "I wanted us to earn it," says Harper of the new band. "This is where it needs to be for it to be sincere."
It was only the second show of the tour, and Harper held up his right thumb to show where the skin was already peeling off. "There's not a moment in this band where it's not turned on," he says. "It's the most natural musical process that I've ever been involved with."
Set List:
"Number With No Name"
"Shimmer and Shine"
"Lay There and Hate Me"
"Better Way"
"Fly One Time"
"Keep It Together"
"Dressed in Black"
"Skin Thin"
"Boots Like These"
"The Word Suicide"
"Up to You Now"
"Faithfully Remain"
"Under Pressure"
"Serve Your Soul"

#1969728: Implement Field API "field types" as TypedData Plugins needs FieldItem objects to be able to access their own plugin_id and plugin_definition.
The patch over there currently includes this, but it would be best in its own issue IMO.
This was not doable before #1986802: rename PluginInspectionInterface::getDefinition() to getPluginDefinition(), because PluginInspectionInterface had getDefinition(), which clashed with TypedDataInterface's own unrelated getDefinition().

I must say I'm not in favour of having those generic plugin_id and definition in there. That only makes sense to you when you are exactly clear which plugin this is about, but when someone is working with those classes that's not necessarily the case. (So, yes I can follow the reasoning people don't like generic typed data stuff in their classes - it's the same.)
Cannot we just call it differently here, e.g. $data_type and $type_definition? Or is having $plugin_id & $plugin_definition everywhere the common pattern?
Comment #9fago CreditAttribution: fago commented
In general, that names would work for me. But then, I just realized $data_type is now duplicating $definition['type'].
However, I just realized that this will add two additional object properties to each typed data object, which results in additional memory usage. I don't recall the numbers any more, but I think it was significant :/ A quick check on a patch with loads of entities (300 comments?) would be a good idea I guess.
So, instead of doing that I guess we should come up with an optimized implementation. plugin-id? -> that's equal to getType(). plugin-definition - couldn't we look that up via the manager? We'll have to inject it anyway, as other methods use it already.
Comment #14effulgentsia CreditAttribution: effulgentsia commented
PASSED: [[SimpleTest]]: [MySQL] 57,628 pass(es). View
So here's the alternative that I think was suggested in #9. Given that TypedData is already accessing the manager in that way in its other methods, I think this is ok for now. However, like yched, I prefer #11 if fago is ok with it.
I got different numbers than #13 though for a node with ~250 comments viewed as root user. Each run I had to refresh about 3 times before the memory numbers stopped varying:
Page execution time was 5491.79 ms. Memory used at: devel_boot()=4.06 MB, devel_shutdown()=23.68 MB, PHP peak=32 MB.
Page execution time was 5567.52 ms. Memory used at: devel_boot()=4.07 MB, devel_shutdown()=23.79 MB, PHP peak=32.25 MB.
Page execution time was 5492.87 ms. Memory used at: devel_boot()=4.07 MB, devel_shutdown()=23.69 MB, PHP peak=32 MB.
So, #14 is a little more performant, but probably only because getPluginDefinition() isn't being called on it yet. That can change with #1969728: Implement Field API "field types" as TypedData Plugins.
In short, I'd be fine with whichever one gets RTBC'd that helps #1969728: Implement Field API "field types" as TypedData Plugins most.

Very interesting comparisons! It's interesting that the results of effulgentsia are better. Maybe, did you use PHP 5.4 vs yched (and me) PHP 5.3 ?
The definition arrays are not physically copied, PHP's copy-on-write optimizes that (and those are never written to, just read from).
I know - still, it's just the additional object property that results in more memory being used - its content doesn't matter.
So, #14 is a little more performant, but probably only because getPluginDefinition() isn't being called on it yet. That can change with #1969728: Implement Field API "field types" as TypedData Plugins.
I guess that's also because of less stuff being assigned - this code runs through very often. Also, once the manager becomes injected, I don't see a reason to repeat the type definition in the class. We already have problems like #1875182: Pass plugin definition to plugin instances instead of discovery object - but we'll have to solve it at least for the typed data and entity managers in order to inject dependencies into fields and entities anyway.
So - given #14 is simple, faster and uses less memory and we really have to watch performance I think we should go with this one. If field types start using getPluginDefinition() very often, we can still optimize it more.
Thus, I'd call #14 RTBC - if that works for you?

Kimberly - posted on 12/30/2008 ( 25 moms have responded )
I have been successfully giving my twin boys expressed breastmilk for the past 6 months. I've had enough milk for both (65 to 70 oz per day) with a bit to spare until the past couple of weeks -- now I have to give them the odd bottle of formula if they drink a lot on a particular day. One of my boys has a milk protein allergy and so up to this point, I have only been giving formula to the other twin. But now I feel I need to have something in reserve for both -- the gastro specialist that he sees says he can have soy-based formula (instead of Alimentum, which I found revolting when he had to be on it while I eliminated dairy from my diet!).
I'm looking for recommendations for the best soy formulas -- thoughts??

Oddly enough, before ever researching power colors, I always knew blue & teal was it for me. When I see shades of these colors, it literally takes a shape of calmness and confidence inside my soul. People in my life, random strangers, they never fail to comment on blue being "my color". Weirdly, I have also found that people treat me differently when I wear shades of blue versus other colors. So, I got to thinking… "How much of our psychology as humans is linked to colors and the power they actually have over how we see people, products and how we make our decisions?" Yes, this is just a fraction of the random thoughts that go on in my head. But, seriously, think about it. Companies use specific colors for branding for a reason. Restaurants use red to create feelings of hunger, airlines and hospitals use blue to create trust and confidence, the list goes on for each color.
So, it was no surprise to me when I found out that my actual "power color" really is blue & teal, depending on where Im at in life. (I flip-flop a lot so Im ever changing). I believe in weird things, that's a given. I suppose this means I believe in symbolism? I mean, I moved across the country to California, and guess what was waiting for me in the new apartment…. Blue walls EVERYWHERE. That may seem like a silly example to you, but I swear this color follows me throughout life. Either way, this is way too interesting for me to just ignore. Enter, the psychology of color <– click that after you're done reading this 🙂
For now, have a little fun and take this test to find out your power color <– click!
Now, wear your color in your clothes! I think its so cool that we can evoke feelings and emotions from ourselves and others just by wearing specific clothing. Next time you can't figure to what to wear for your interview, first date, outfit for a photoshoot, or whatever it is that you're up to, think about what feeling you're going for to help guide your decision. I think its a really interesting way to incorporate emotion into our material items. You are what you wear in this case!
Ive always had child like curiosity for [almost] everything, so I constantly question the how's and why's of life, which is why this post exists in the first place. But truthfully it was an outfit I recently posted that had quite a few people message me about "blue being my color" that perpetuated this. So, see for yourself below and check out all the details of this adorable outfit. Don't forget to share your findings on what your power color is, Im sooooo interested to hear about how it has played a role in your life!

A report of conference presentations and discussions among participants from the National Academies of Science, universities and research institutions, and representatives of professional associations, industry and labor, recommends attending to workplace environments to maintain "work ability" as workers age. It also offers legislative fixes and research to fill in knowledge gaps for keeping workers healthy and productive.
According to research using U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, older workers are more severely injured and die with greater frequency from work-related injuries than younger ones. Older workers also have longer recovery periods than younger workers. These findings raise healthcare delivery and economic issues for the nation, as more workers are choosing to delay retirement due to collapsed 401(k) plans and savings. The BLS uses workers age 55 and older in its calculations, although the rates rise sharply for those over age 65. Other agencies and organizations define the term as age 50 or 55 and up. The Department of Labor uses age 40 as a starting point for "older worker."
"The issue of healthy aging is critically important as the U.S. economy is revitalized. As we go forward in time, the demand for workers will grow but fewer workers will be entering the work force, and a larger proportion of the work force will be older. This is a simple reality of demographics," said John Howard, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) director.
The conference, held Feb. 17–18, 2009, at the National Labor College in Silver Spring, Md., paid particular attention to workers in physically demanding jobs, such as construction and healthcare. Healthcare cost-containment has meant longer work hours and increased stress among healthcare workers, which has led to a shortage of nurses. Thirty-nine percent of registered nurses were 45 years old or older in 2002.
Construction workers already suffer the highest number of fatalities in any U.S. industry. But the death rate among construction workers 55 years and older was nearly 80 percent higher than that of construction workers under 35 in 2007. And like the rest of the work force, the average age of a construction worker is rising; it was 40.4 in 2008, which is 4.4 years older than in 1985. The average retirement age among construction workers is 61.
"Our nation loses an average of four construction workers every work day to a job-related incident, and that's been consistent for more than a decade," said Pete Stafford, executive director of CPWR, The Center for Construction Research and Training, one of the conference's co-sponsors.
Howard believes the conference confirms and expands on a 2004 report from the National Academies of Science that recognized the deteriorating conditions facing an aging work force, to the detriment of workers, their families and businesses. "Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers" made clear recommendations to increase research efforts toward preventing work-related injury, illness and fatality among aging workers. These recommendations have yet to be adopted.
The full conference report and presentations from national and international researchers on occupational health and safety issues can be found on www.soeh.org.

Antonio Di Natale will score for Udinese in tonight's Champions League qualifier at Arsenal, says Andrea Sottil.
The former Bianconero defender made the prediction during an interview with Radio Sportiva on Tuesday.
"Di Natale is an extraordinary player," he noted. "He has decided to end his career in Udine and he has nothing to envy from Alexis Sanchez.
"He'll ripple the net again this evening."
Udinese will of course be without Sanchez after he joined Barcelona, the same club who netted Cesc Fabregas from the London outfit yesterday.
"Both sides have lost important pieces," the ex-stopper continued. "Udinese will be very motivated, but Arsenal will be favourites.
"Tonight's game is the reward for all the serious work undertaken by this club.
"To take a club from a city of 120,000 people into the Champions League against Arsenal is an enormous achievement."

I am now Shizuo Heiwajima! biggrin I wanted something I could easily change to, without spending all my money. And since I've cosplayed Shizuo on Gaia before, I knew what kind of stuff to look for. But, outside of Gaia, I may or may not cosplay Karkat Vantas. I'm obsessed with Kar. Like, seriously. I'm easily irritated like he is, and I swear a lot. xD Though it may not show on Gaia, it definitely does in real life.
But goddamn, I'm really freaking cold.
I once thought about typing every status on Facebook in Kar's type quirk for a few days. But I never have yet. But I'm going to be honest.
I've never read even a bit of Homestuck. Webcomics aren't my thing, so I find out everything from the fandon that does enjoy reading it.
Aside from the not-real world, I've been pretty decent, attitude-wise, these past couple days. Like, I haven't been getting depressed ad often, though I still do. I saw my counselor again yesterday though, and I don't like her anymore. My friend that moved to New York? Yes, I liked him, and still do. But he'd only ever considered me as family. Which, I can live with, but it's not the best place I'd like to be to him. But that's not the point. I showed my counselor a picture of him. Not only did she say he seemed very attractive, but she asked if I've had any sexual relationships with him... I told her no almost six times, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't believe me. So, I don't want to see someone who can't accept the truth. It's creepy. I'm only 14, and he turns 17 tomorrow. Though I do like him, I'm used to things the way they are.
I swear, my counselor asked me every single damn question I didn't want to answer. She asked if I've ever had homicide thoughts. Yes, I honestly have, though I'm not stupid enough to kill anyone. She asked if I've had suicidal thoughts. Yes, I have. But I can't kill myself yet. As much as I can't believe it, apparently people need me. Sure, I'm sounding really depressed, but I'm just speaking my mind. I can't believe anything anyone says along the lines of "I need you." or "You mean a lot to me." or even "I love you." Growing up as a kid, I never heard that. My mom never said any of that to me, my grandmother never did, nobody ever did. Now in middle school, when everyone decides to be emotional about everything, I still don't really hear it, but everyone else does. I know for a fact that I'm left out a lot.
Another confessions of mine is that I cry on a daily/weekly basis. And not like, that baby cry that's not one or two tears. I'm talking about, I almost make tissues damp. There's this ring I wear, and my best friend has one exactly like it. I almost can't stand to wear it, but I promised him I'd never take it off, just as he did for me. I had a really deep conversation with him via Facebook the other day. It was... Deep. About feelings and sh*t.
In case it's hard to tell, I'm just fitting everything in one entry. Makes it easier. I'm leaving the page up, and when I think of something, I write it down.
It's 2:27 a.m. where I live, and I feel like bawling my eyes out. One song that could describe how I feel right now is "Until The Day I Die"

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Canada's Rebecca Lee-Bentham shot a 5-under 67 on Sunday to tie Thailand's Moriya Jutanugarn for the top spot in the LPGA Tour qualifying tournament, leading the 20 players who earned full status.
Lee-Bentham, from Toronto, and Jutanugarn finished the five-round event at 13-under 347 at LPGA International. Jutanugarn shot a 74 after taking a six-stroke lead into the day.
Lee-Bentham wasn't the only Canadian who earned full status for next year. Stephanie Sherlock of Barrie, Ont., finished eight shots back at 10th, despite shooting a 74 in the final.
Japan's Ayako Uehara was third at 12 under after a 69. Kathleen Ekey followed at 10 under after a 65, and Lisa McCloskey and Japan's Chie Arimura were 8 under. McCloskey had a 71, and Arimura shot 70.
Two-time tour winner Laura Diaz improved her status, tying for eighth at 6 under after a 72. Christina Kim, also a two-time tour winner, failed to improve her status, shooting a 74 to tie for 39th at 1 over.
Felicity Johnson also earned full status along with Karlin Beck, Kayla Mortellaro, Kim Welch, Brooke Pancake, Austin Ernst, Caroline Masson, amateur Marina Stuetz, Lauren Doughtie, Nicole Jeray, Taylore Karle and Irene Cho.
Doughtie, Jeray, Karle and Cho survived a seven-player playoff for the final spots.

Report details hospitals' impact
Industry advocate breaks out sector's benefits to economy
Published 12:00 am, Friday, December 10, 2010
ALBANY -- The Capital Region hospital industry employs 32,000 people and has a $3.9 billion economic impact, according to a study released this week by the Healthcare Association of New York State.
Statewide, there are 370,000 health care workers and a $108 billion "ripple effect" on the economy, the report stated.
It's no coincidence that the report was made public on the eve of a new legislative session and a new governor taking office as the state seeks to close a major budget deficit.
"We want to remind the public, policy makers and the media that health care has been an economic anchor," said William Van Slyke, spokesman for HANYS. "When so many other sectors of the economy, particularly in Upstate, have fallen away and we've lost opportunities for communities, health care has been a reliable sector and will be even more so in the future."
HANYS represents about 220 hospitals and 330 nursing homes in New York. The study used economic models developed by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce to estimate the ripple effect of payroll, taxes and purchases paid by hospitals, including hospital-based nursing homes, home care and other outpatient services.
More Information
The money hospitals generate
The state's hospitals purchase goods and services, create jobs, and their employees pay taxes. The figures below show both direct and indirect impacts of hospitals' spending.
Economic impact
Direct Indirect
Employees 370,140 686,610
Payroll $30 billion $62 billion
Supply purchases $19 billion $40 billion
Capital purchases $3 billion $6 billion
Total impact $53 billion $108 billion
Tax impact
State income tax $1 billion $2 billion
Local income tax $533 million $775 million
State sales tax $505 million $807 million
Local sales tax $549 million $879 million
Total taxes $3 billion $5 billion
Source: Healthcare Association of New York State's "New York State Hospitals: Transforming Lives and Communities, 2010 Hospital Economic and Community Benefit Report."
New York's hospitals treat 2.5 million inpatients, handle 47 million outpatient visits -- including 7.9 million emergency room visits -- deliver 262,000 babies and provide $1.9 billion in uncompensated care, the report said. HANYS estimated that New York's hospitals generate about 9.4 percent of the Gross State Product.
Hospital employees pay $4.8 billion in state and local taxes and generate nearly $62 billion in local communities through dollars spent on groceries, clothes, mortgage payments, rent and other purchases.
Hospitals themselves spend $19.3 billion a year on supplies and services.
Jean Moore, director of the University at Albany's Center for Health Workforce Studies, said hospitals are an economic engine.
"That said, we know health reform is coming and some of the things that hospitals do they may need to do less of," Moore said.
Health care changes will likely cut money from inpatient services and put more emphasis on preventive care.
Moore said, "I think they understand that they need to transition and focus beyond acute care."

Newcastle United defender Danny Simpson hopes the prolonged rest during the FA Cup weekend will help restore the club back to winning ways in the Premier League.
The Magpies started the season with an 11-match unbeaten run, but have suffered from inconsistency since, culminating in a 5-0 defeat at Tottenham last weekend.
The 25-year-old was part of the side that lost 1-0 at Brighton in the FA Cup fourth round last month and hopes the break his team-mates get this weekend will prove vital as the season enters its final third.
"Sometimes you just want to play as soon as you can and get a win under your belt to bounce back," Simpson told the club's official website.
"But at the same time, we've got a break and it's been a long, tough season up to now.
"We've done well, and this will give us the chance to refresh ourselves, recharge our batteries and get ready for Wolves."
The full-back also signalled the return of two important first-teamers who could be integral to the side climbing back up the table.
"We will have some big players like Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote back for then and we will look to kick on again," he said.
"There's 13 games to go, so bring it on. We've still got a long way to go. In these final games we are going to push on and try to finish as high as we can."
Sixth-place Newcastle United host relegation-threatened Wolves next Saturday as FA Cup action dominates the fixture list this weekend.
Newcastle defender Danny Simpson hopes two-week respite perfect tonic for stuttering form

US Air Force averts funding halt for C-130 program
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Air Force narrowly avoided
a funding shortfall that threatened to halt work by Boeing Co.
on upgrading the cockpit electronics of the C-130 Hercules
aircraft, a company official said on Monday.
Cathy Schoonover, contracting officer for the upgrade
program at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, warned that the
funding crunch would prevent communications between all but one
program official and the company, effective August 8, according
to a text of her August 4 memorandum obtained by Reuters.
silence" was averted when the Air Force obtained sufficient
funding to keep the program going through the end of the 2005
fiscal year on September 30.
"At the moment, the funding is on schedule," LaRock told
Reuters, adding that Chicago-based Boeing did not expect any
further problems through the end of the year.
He said Boeing was currently modifying one C-130 cargo
airplane, which was on track for a first flight in early 2006.
One defense official confirmed the funding issue had been
resolved, noting that such crises were not uncommon near the
end of the fiscal year. A second official said the amount in
question in this case had been around $25 million.
Boeing won a $4 billion Air Force contract in June 2001 to
upgrade the avionics and software on the C-130 aircraft.
U.S. congressional investigators this year said part of the
contract should be reopened to competition because a convicted
former Air Force official had unfairly favored Boeing.
LaRock said the current issue was completely unrelated, and
a new competition was unlikely until around 2009 or 2010.

They design hand-painted sneakers and have recreated scenes from some of you favorite movies and games.

Varian Medical Systems (VAR: NYSE) announced in March that it would acquire InfiMed, Inc., the privately-owned New York-based workstation supplier of X-ray imaging hardware and software, for $15 million cash plus company sales earnings over the next two years. This is the second medical device and software company Varian has acquired in the past six months. In September 2011, the company also bought Seattle-based Calypso Medical Technologies, Inc. for $10 million in cash and potential earnings based on product sales over the next 30 months.
Varian, a medical device and software manufacturer specializing in cancer treatment and X-ray imaging, has developed and is executing a multi-prong approach to the market. Not only has the Palo Alto-based company been purchasing smaller technology companies, but it has also been increasing its presence abroad. Continue Reading >>

All party meet on delimitation of constituencies
October 13, 2006 14:22 IST
An all party meeting convened by the government Friday took up the contentious issue of delimitation of constituencies to evolve a broad-based consensus. The meeting, convened by Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee, is also expected to deliberate on the long-pending Women's Reservation Bill which has eluded unanimity over the years.
While the Left parties favour the move recommended by the Delimitation Commission, questions have been raised by some others.
On the Women's Bill, an approach paper for the meet has given options like raising the number of seats in Parliament and state assemblies by one-third, dual membership constituencies and rotation among them, but the Left is stoutly against any increase in the number of seats.
There have been concerns that the current delimitation exercise coupled with reservation of seats for women would leave less than 250 seats in the Lok Sabha for the general category.
The meeting is being held in the backdrop of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh hoping to bring the Women's Reservation Bill in the winter session of Parliament, and a demand from the Left parties that it should be brought in its original form.
On the women's bill, different political parties have their own agendas, with some wanting the raising of seats while some stoutly demanding that the seats should not be less than 33 per cent for women.
Besides Mukherjee, Union Ministers Shivraj Patil, Sharad Pawar, P R Dasmunsi, H R Bhardwaj, T R Baalu, Oscar Fernandes and Shibu Soren are attending the meeting.
Leaders of political parties who participated included Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Sharad Yadav, Sitaram Yechury, K Yerrannaidu, Mehbooba Mufti, Dinesh Trivedi and Busedeb Acharia.

Transfer students experience another pathway towards admissions. In fact, nearly half of all current undergraduate students begin their education by attending a community college. By far, the most common transfer path is students moving from two-year community colleges to four-year institutions, although there is considerable movement between four-year colleges well. Many private schools actively seek out transfer applicants to fill their classes.
The quality of classes, combined with low-cost tuition, encourages many high school graduates to continue their education at a community college. In most states, community colleges have transfer agreements in place with dozens of public and private universities. In fact, among all students in the US who earned a bachelor's degree, almost 1/3 had supplemented their college education with classes from a community college. Beyond major requirements within the admissions department, you may consider Salem Community College online class for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

AUC News and Views
We're always excited when newspapers and media highlight our students' accomplishments, and we were very pleased to see a nice story about Tiffany Strong—who recently earned a scholarship that fully funds her first-semester tuition at American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine (AUC)—in Central Florida Future (CFF). CFF is the student-run newspaper of the University of Central Florida (UCF) and is owned by Florida Today, a major daily paper in Florida. Tiffany attended UCF for her undergraduate studies.
The CFF story focuses not just on the scholarship, but on Tiffany's journey to AUC: how she shadowed a neurologist for Florida Hospital, her "life-changing" service work in Costa Rica, and how she ultimately went from working as an Emergency Department scribe to becoming a full-time medical school student at AUC.
