Joining forces for water makes sense in West Texas
Published 1:00 pm, Monday, March 21, 2011
We have been saying for several years now that water issues for the city, the Permian Basin and West Texas would become increasingly important as time went on. That is happening now.
The issues of water needs and water rights are now big news for our readers. As a community, we slowly are beginning to realize just how important water is to the citizens of our area.
Those issues are now almost a daily story whether it comes to rationing of lawn watering, gaining new water rights or the drought condition created by the lack of water. We can't escape what water means for us in this semi-arid desert setting.
The mayors of Midland, Abilene and San Angelo announced this past week they'll be working together to ensure the next generations have access to water at an affordable rate. Bonding together in this manner should make it easier to negotiate water rights than going it alone.
We have to remember that large metropolitan areas like San Antonio and Austin will be competing for the same water rights in many cases, so it makes sense that West Texas communities can better face these challenges by joining forces.
This is absolutely a solid strategy to carry forward with as long as it is not our only strategy. We can never have enough water to protect the growth of our city, and we should always be looking for ways and opportunities to add to our water inventory.
Chaps represented college, community well at nationals
We're pretty sure that members of the Midland College men's basketball team haven't realized yet what a great season they have just completed. In fact, it really hurts when you fall one step short of your sports' ultimate goal.
In the case of the Chaparrals, that one faltered step was a 72-64 loss to No. 2-ranked College of Southern Idaho in the NJCAA National Championship game in Hutchinson, Kan. Yes that hurt, but it in no way should subtract from a great season.
Coach Ross Hodge's team compiled a sterling 33-4 record during the 2010-11 basketball season while winning both the Western Junior College Athletic Conference title and the NJCAA Region V tournament championship.
In addition, these Chaps became the 10th team in MC men's basketball history to land a berth in the national tournament, keeping a strong tradition moving forward.
We offer our congratulations on this fine effort and are so very pleased at how this team represented its college and community this season. We also congratulate Ty Nurse and Guy Landry for being selected to the NJCAA All-Tournament team.
While we understand the temporary void that these Chaps now feel, they will realize just how special this season was and they will know that there are many other NJCAA teams that would like to be in their shoes.

Megax Fox has recently made an interview with Rolling Stone and she admitted that she used to cut herself.This thing leads me to the emo style,don't you think the same?
How come a pretty girl like her done such terrible things?Shame on you Megan!Now I am sure that the role on Jennifer's Body it's perfect for a naughy girl like you.Usually naughty girls need to pe punished in the end so they can follow the right way..
I am sure that Megan wasn't a junkie and cutting herself was not something often,maybe just accidentally maybe.
She said in her interview:
"Yeah," she replied when asked if she's ever cut herself. "But I don't want to elaborate. I would never call myself a cutter. Girls go through different phases when they're growing up, when they're miserable and do different things, whether it's an eating disorder or they dabble in cutting."

Alan has been the designer for
ProWorks for over 4 years, and is responsible for creating web
designs and interactive graphics with great aesthetics and optimal
user functionality. His responsibilities also include building his
and others' designs into an HTML/CSS framework. Alan's technical
skills include Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, and HTML/CSS.
Let's pry open the creative brain of ProWorks for just
a minute and see what really went into the new da Vinci Days site.
The page you're looking at now certainly wasn't imagined exactly
like this from the start; it went through a creative process that
covered a few stages of design. Generally the design process we go
through for most websites looks like this:
The challenge in designing the da Vinci Days site was
to create a framework that looks great year after year, and allows
for changing poster artwork in the background.
Wireframe designs are just rough layouts of the
elements on a page. We are playing with the puzzle pieces until we
get the perfect fit, without even looking at colors or design yet.
Here are a few of the wireframes that we started with for the home
Back to the top
We went with this last one. It handled all the
priorities in the best way. Then I made wireframes for the rest of
the pages. Here's one for an event page:
The next step is to breathe life into the chosen
wireframe and explore a few full-color design directions. Usually
I'll design a few for the the home page first, and then design the
rest of the pages after the direction is chosen. This first
direction never really got that far. I totally missed the mark at
the beginning :)
I quickly changed gears and designed something with the
da Vinci Days comminity in mind. I went with a natural hand-crafted
look that better reflects the feel of this event and Santiago's
wonderful poster art.
We felt that design hit the mark right on the nose.
There were only a few changes to get the final result from
The next challenge for me as a designer is building the
framework of the actual website so that it looks exactly like my
design. The design also needs to hold up to real data getting
plugged into it, so I make sure everything's flexible. In the end
we come up with an entire visual system for da Vinci Days that
encompasses any type of page the da Vinci Days staff wants to

After announcing that I'm going to leave SharePoint, I've had the rare opportunity to choose a brand new career at the ripe age of… more than 25.
Note: I'm still 26 years old. I've been for many years.
One opportunity that arose through an awesome client is mobile development. It's been a somewhat mysterious space to me since its inception, but some of my best friends whose opinions I value greatly tell me it's a nice space so there you go.
My first impression is that this could actually be far easier than I thought. The huge issue has been building a dev environment and understanding the various processes and tools required. Because I'm no longer constrained with the somewhat quirky SharePoint development experience, I can be bleeding edge on everything, and bleeding edge right now is Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2015. Which is a nightmare, but hey, that's what you get for using pre-release software.
Once that was done a couple of days ago, however, I immediately dived into not doing mobile development at all. Because, you know, the best way to do mobile development is not to do it at all.
To elaborate, I've always been a proponent of building extensible and reusable components. I did so with SP SIN, which started out as a way of adding a style sheet to a master page and turned into a full-featured SharePoint app store that crosses versions and app platforms. I've done so with Magick, which started as a way to avoid redeploying WSPs and turned into the framework to end all SharePoint deployment issues. In fact, I did so with NB2, a project several decades ago, that started as a way to extend server-side includes in CGI and ended up as an extremely extensible framework for building content publishing applications.
You can say extensibility is in my blood.
So, when I started to look at something to do in mobile development, the first thought was to build a core portable library for Wizh.NET to allow building of ISENG clients more rapidly.
Note: For those not paying attention, Wizh.NET is my new platform for interactive stories and games, and ISENG is the backing format. Extremely extensible, of course.
By doing so, I can basically encapsulate all the nitty-gritty details of supporting various ISENG features, including extensions, in one core library and then deploy that library through .NET-capable devices through for example Xamarin for mobile platforms.
Lo' and behold, my first Windows Phone app.
Yeah, yeah, it's mighty impressive, I know, but it should be noted a few things to make this slightly cooler for the non-initiates.
First, what you're seeing is a rendering of an interactive story created on Wizh.NET, so it's an example of a cross-platform use of ISENG. Second, the library supports any extension to ISENG (you'd need to write your own rendering and behavior of the extensions, of course). Third, this app took the better part of 15 minutes to create once I knew how to write a Windows Phone app.
Here's the console application version of the same story using the same library binaries reading the same ISENG file.
The story, incidentally, is the one I use in the Wizh.NET tutorial over at the Wizhblog.
So, by doing the backend stuff first, and doing it right, I now have the ability to churn out clients quickly, which means less mobile development and more doing the cool stuff I really like.
Feel free to tag along for more on my mobile development experiences. I'll be writing less and less about SharePoint from now on, methinks 🙂

Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase type I Deficiency (CPT-IA)
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency (CPT-IA) is an inborn error of metabolism, an inherited condition in which the body is unable to break down certain fats, particularly during periods without enough food. It is considered a fatty acid oxidation condition because people affected by CPT-IA are unable to change some fats into the energy the body needs to function. This can cause too many unused fatty acids to build up in the body. Symptoms of CPT-IA can vary and may include poor feeding, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), extreme tiredness/lethargy, liver problems, a high level of carnitine in the blood and/or other potential signs and symptoms. CPT-IA can be a life threatening condition. Support groups are available to help connect families living with CPT-IA deficiency with others who have experience or expertise with fatty acid oxidation conditions.
For more information about Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency, visit Screening, Technology, and Research in Genetics (STAR-G): Carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency, type 1A and Baby's First Test: Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency. A listing of contact information for Minnesota inborn errors of metabolism medical specialty providers/clinics serving children affected with or undergoing evaluation for conditions that can be detected through Minnesota Newborn Screening is available upon request.

Pasta For The Summer Heat
Well, I sure hope everyone had a great 4th of July as we did here! Kenny did two different kinds of beer can chickens on the grill along with fresh corn on the cob. I on the other hand, took care of corn bread, deviled eggs that I tried to make red white and blue and came out like Christmas eggs instead, you know red, green and white, and then this pasta salad that we tried for the first time since we tasted it in our local Publix Supermarket and WOW!
Now I do have to say that their version came out a little better than mine, maybe due to my adding the asiago cheese in place of some of the mozzarella, however, everyone had seconds except for our granddaughter who is a little on the picky side, you know teens these days! Oh well, she'll grow out of that someday just like I did…. What little was left, my daughter took home for a meal the next day so mom and dad wouldn't have too many left overs in the frig, ha ha! I also used the tri-colored rotini in lieu of the plain pasta. So with that, I give you a super summer salad that really goes great on a hot summer day with just about anything………..
- 3 cups of cantaloupe cut in bite size chunks, honeydew if you prefer or a mixture of both
- 1 ripe avocado, I used the green versus the Hass, chopped in bite size pieces
- 8 oz of tri-colored rotini or regular
- ⅓ cup lemon vinaigrette
- ½ teas Kosher salt or sea salt
- 1-1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Asiago cheese or omit Asiago and use all mozzarella
- ⅓ cup fresh basil coarsely chopped
- Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and place in the frig to cool.
- Combine the melon, avocado, vinaigrette and salt in a bowl, stirring gently to mix.
- Stir pasta and cheese together into the melon mixture and sprinkle with the basil; chill well to meld the flavors.
Gotta get Husband working on a post to show you our new kitchen counters; therrrrrrrrrrrrre GREAT as Tony the Tiger used to say! Hope you enjoy……..

I think you are definitely underestimating the number of people who use the git interface to view the logs these days. And frankly, if you're not using it yourself, you should seriously look at it. It's vastly superior to the cvsweb interface.

In the wake of yesterday's devastating tornado in Oklahoma, there is little question that those so terribly affected will be largely dependent upon the federal government to provide the relief necessary to help the victims of this terrible disaster rebuild their lives.
This is not the first time Oklahoma has found itself in need of help in the face of such a tragedy. The state currently ranks third in the nation—behind Texas and California—when it comes to its dependency on federal emergency relief to deal with devastation as a result of natural disasters.
And yet, the state's two GOP senators, Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn, have been consistent and vocal opponents of providing the funds necessary to deliver disaster relief for those in other states who have been touched by similar tragedies—unless, of course, the tragedy happens to occur during a Republican administration.
While the two Oklahoma senators were quick to give President George W. Bush all the money he asked for following Hurricane Katrina without complaint, they were not in quite so generous a mood last year when both Coburn and Inhofe sought to slash the aid package allocated to the victims of Superstorm Sandy from the $60.4 billion President Obama had determined necessary (working in conjunction with the governors of the affected states) down to a meager $23.8 billion.
According to Coburn, Inhofe and their GOP cohorts in the Senate, the smaller sum was all that was required to pay for repairing damaged equipment and clearing debris while somehow providing sufficient funds to rebuild the enormous number of damaged homes and businesses destroyed throughout the three affected states.
In offering his support for the much smaller Sandy aid package, Senator Inhofe actually intoned, "We don't have time right now to get all the way through and analyze the actual losses that were attributable to Sandy."
Fortunately for the victims of the Oklahoma tornado, President Obama, who today announced that Oklahoma will "get everything that it needs right away", has made it perfectly clear that the nation has more than enough time—for as many days, months or years as it may take—to respond to our fellow Americans who are in trouble and in need of our help.
At least Inhofe and Coburn are consistent with their post-Bush administration approach to other people's troubles.
Not only were these senators prepared to give incredibly short shrift to the victims of Sandy, but, in 2011, both Coburn and Inhofe joined with other GOP senators to oppose legislation designed to prevent FEMA from running out of money. The agency had run dangerously short on cash as a result of the extraordinary costs incurred providing relief to victims of Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee, and the wildfires that had devastated Texas. But that was of no consequence to the two Oklahoma senators, despite their own state's heavy reliance on the FEMA budget in the preceding years.
As reported by The Center For Public Integrity,
"Eleven Republican U.S. senators who represent the states with the most FEMA-declared disasters since the start of 2009 voted against a bill designed to keep the agency's disaster relief fund from running out of cash, an iWatch News analysis reveals. The top two states, Texas and Oklahoma, combined for more than a quarter of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's declared disasters since Jan. 1, 2009. Still, the four Republicans from those states most frequently aided by FEMA opposed legislation to increase the fund without offsets. One of them, Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, said to do so would be "unconscionable."
Of course, both Coburn and Inhofe tended to see things very differently in the past when their own state was in need of FEMA help.
As reported by The Huffington Post—
"In January of 2007, Coburn urged federal officials to speed disaster relief aid after the state faced a major ice storm."
Unlike his fellow Oklahoma Senator Inhofe, who professed a lack of time to come immediately to the aid of the victims of Sandy, Mr. Coburn must have felt that his own state's crisis was sufficiently important to warrant Congress' time and attention back in 2007. It must also be noted that as this disaster relief came during the Bush administration, Coburn was still on board with providing federal funds to disaster victims with timely assistance because it reflected well on the GOP administration. He didn't change that tune until President Obama was in the White House.
The Huffington Post article continues, "A year later, in 2008, Inhofe lauded the fact that emergency relief from the Department of Housing and Urban Development would be given to 24 Oklahoma counties. "The impact of severe weather has been truly devastating to many Oklahoma communities across the state. I am pleased that the people whose lives have been affected by disastrous weather are getting much-needed federal assistance," he said at the time."
A spokesman for Senator Coburn indicated late Monday that Coburn will require that any emergency funds provided to aid the Oklahoma residents victimized by the tornado will have to be offset by cuts to federal spending in other parts of the budget.
We will see. Somehow, I imagine that Coburn's zeal for budget balancing will be severely diminished when the lengthy process of finding offsets runs headlong into the immediate and very pressing needs of his suffering constituents.
