No, it's wrong. And it raises everyone's prices.
No I wouldn't.
Yeah, unless it's a small personally owned store that I want to support
no. I would not be able to live with the guilt. I still am pained by the small acts of theft I did in my youth.
No, I would not, I have more respect for myself than to steal from people who have worked hard for what they have. Only Losers steal.

Ben Cohen, 31, has been a DJ for 12 years, and he's lived in the District for the past five.
What's it like being a DJ in the District?
It's such an international city and the challenges in D.C. come from the diversity of the crowd. You're trying to satisfy the hipster kids over here and the dudes who play for the Redskins over here and the girls at the bachelorette party. The best part of the night is when you notice all those different groups having fun to the same music. Then you know you've hooked them all.
What songs do you absolutely refuse to play?
That's a very long list. One example of that is Chris Brown. I won't play any of his music because he beats women. I'm not really interested in playing it anymore. I'm allowed to take some moral stances on the music I play.
Do you go to clubs for fun?
I don't really go out to clubs. If you work at a zoo, are you going to go to the zoo for fun? If you work at Arby's, you're not going to go to Arby's every night of the week.
What's your favorite place to DJ right now?
I actually played there a couple months ago. It's called Heist. It just opened up in the Dupont area. It used to be Fly Lounge. They understand what goes into a great nightlife experience.
Do you take requests?
I take requests; I don't take demands. There's a difference. "Is there any chance you might be able to play this?" That works. "Me and my friends are leaving in five minutes." That doesn't work. ... Requesting some weird down-tempo house track at 1 a.m. -- be intelligent. Request songs you think would work. Being nice gets you everywhere -- and money.

Most cheese, unless a colourant is added is the colour of milk, white. This article is about colourants which are normally added to the milk before coagulation in cheese making to obtain non-white coloured cheese. There is a separate article on the most common colourant Annatto, Wiki: Annatto.
Milk is naturally white and most cheese making (except blue cheese) does not significantly change the colour and thus without colourants most cheese would be white. Thus to distinguish cheeses, non-flavouring colourants have historically been added. Popular are orange coloured Cheddar and red coloured Leicester commonly through the addition of Annatto, the most popular colourant in cheese making. Colouring is so ingrained in consumers minds that it can affect their perception and appreciation of cheese even though colourants are normally non-flavouring, and thus the effect mostly psychological. For example, some people will not buy or eat white cheddar.
Colourants for cheese can be divided into three categories:
Colourants From Flavourings
- Chilies.
- Herbs.
- Wine washed rinds.
Common Colourants From Natural Food Dyes
- Green: Chlorophyll.
- Yellow: Turmeric, Lutein.
- Orange: Annatto, Cochineal.
- Red: Carmine.
- Pink: Anthocyanin, Beet Red.
- Brown: Caramel, Malt.
- Black: Carbo.
Colourants From Artificial Food Dyes
- Common in cake and cookie/biscuit making.
Amount To Add
Amount to add is dependant on effect wanted and type and concentration of colourant, adjust as necessary.
How To Add
Food dyes are normally very concentrated and thus adding it directly to milk will result in generally unwanted pockets of colour. Therefore, pre-dilute your colourant in ~20 ml cool water per liter of milk/~0.25 cup cool water per one US gallon, then trickle into milk while stirring to distribute evenly.
When To Add
Many food dyes including Annatto, can retard rennet's effectiveness. To minimize this, natural and artificial food dyes are normally added to the milk rather than being added to the rennet before adding to the milk.
Note, a common step after adding food colouring is adding rennet, do not use the same container to pre-dilute rennet in as it can reduce the rennet's strength.
- Cooking food dyes in grocery stores.
- Annatto seeds in some grocery stores such as Latin grocery stores.
- Cheese making aqueous Annatto from Cheese Making Supply Stores
Food colourants are normally very concentrated and can easily stain almost anything. Thus best safety practices are:
- Store in a secondary external container or zip loc type plastic bag.
- When using, wear disposable (i.e. latex) gloves.
- When pre-diluting, use non-stainable container such as glass or china.

multiples of OS_STRIPE_SIZE. For example, suppose you want to create a data file of 1000MB. Here is the calculation:
If BLOCK SIZE = 8K, the total number of blocks available=(1000/8)*1024, which is 128000 blocks in this case. The first block of every data file does not contain user data--it contains the file header used for storing internal information such as current SCN, checkpoint structure, etc. Subtract this block from the calculation. Thus, the net total number of blocks available for insertion is 12800-1 = 127999 blocks.
As Oracle recommends, INITIAL / NEXT extents should be multiples of DB_BLOCK_SIZE. So, let us consider PCT_INCREASE = 0. Then the number of blocks corresponding to initial /next extent size is as follows:
Initial/Next Extent Size 1Mb 10Mb 16Mb Number of Blocks 128 1280 2048
We know the total number of blocks available for insertion is 127999 which is not a factor of the number of blocks we calculated above in the table. So parts of the bytes are wasted.
Now let us say you created a data file of 1000Mb + 8KB = 1024008 Kb instead of 1000Mb. The calculation goes as follows:
Total number of blocks available = (1024008/8) = 128001 blocks. Net total number of blocks available for insertion = 128001 - 1 = 12800 blocks. 12800 is a factor of the number of blocks calculated above, so there is no wasted space at all.

CHARLOTTE � Yes, Charlotte, there is a Super Bowl, and the Panthers will not be in it this season.
CHARLOTTE � Yes, Charlotte, there is a Super Bowl, and the Panthers will not be in it this season.
Throughout his seven-game playoff career with the Carolina Panthers, quarterback Jake Delhomme had been one of best postseason passers in NFL history. On the eighth game on Saturday at Bank of America Stadium he looked like one of the worst.
Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner, on the other hand, was solid in leading the Cardinals� 33-13 win at Bank of America Stadium. The Panthers had gone 8-0 at home this season, including a 27-23 come-from-behind victory over the Cardinals.
Arizona will play for the NFC championship next Sunday for the first time in franchise history.
Delhomme accounted for six turnovers (one fumble and five interceptions). He finished 17-for-34 passing for 205 yards. His lone touchdown pass to Steve Smith came in the final minute.
Warner was 21-of-32 for 220 yards and two touchdowns. Arizona�s All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught eight passes for 166 yards and one touchdown and set the franchise record for receiving yards in a playoff game by halftime.
The five interceptions were a career high for Delhomme, who has been occasionally turnover prone in the past, but never before under the bright playoff lights.
The second quarter will go down as one of the worst in Panthers� history. The offense had twice as many turnovers (two) as net yards gained (one) and possessed the ball for just more than three minutes. Meanwhile the Cardinals gained 170 yards in the second to take a 27-7 lead into halftime.
The deficit could have been worse, but Neil Rackers� 53-yard field goal attempt as time expired was short.
The highlights for Carolina came early. Mark Jones returned the opening kickoff to the 50-yard line. DeAngelo Williams ran up the middle for 31 yards to set up Jonathan Stewart�s 9-yard touchdown run.
The lowlights for Carolina came often over the remaining 57 minutes. The Cardinals took the lead on their second possession when Warner found running back Tim Hightower wide open on third-and-goal from the 3-yard line.
Antonio Smith sacked Delhomme on the next play from scrimmage, stripping the ball and recovering it to set up Edgerrin James� four-yard scoring run two plays later. Rackers hit the PAT for a 14-7 lead and Arizona never trailed again.
Warner made his lone mistake in the second quarter with an interception to linebacker Jon Beason. Delhomme handed the sliver of momentum right back with his third interception of the night.
He didn�t get much help from the NFL�s third-ranked rushing attack. Even with 41 rushing yards on the opening drive, the Panthers were held under 100.
It was the second straight solid performance against an NFC South team from Arizona�s maligned run defense. The Cardinals held Atlanta All-Pro Michael Turner to 42 rushing yards in their 30-24 wild-card win.
The defeat was as thorough as it was surprising for the Panthers. Arizona had not won a game east of the Mississippi, Carolina was unbeaten at home in 2008, unbeaten at home in its postseason history and a perfect 3-0 in Divisional round games. The Cardinals got into the playoffs by winning the NFC�s weakest division (the West), the Panthers got in by winning the NFC South, perhaps the toughest.
All of it added up to oddsmakers installing the Panthers as double-digit favorites. All of it added up to matter little against x turnovers in the final equation.
The Cardinals will either host the Philadelphia Eagles or play at the New York Giants next Sunday. The Eagles visit the Giants today in the NFC�s second Divisional playoff.
NOTE: Delhomme�s 95.0 career playoff passer rating entering Saturday�s game ranked third in NFL history behind Hall of Fame QBs Bart Starr and Joe Montana. ... The Cardinals won the 1947 NFL Championship when they were the Chicago Cardinals, but had won only one playoff game since then entering this postseason.

Over time, wires can corrode which reduces the
current carrying capacity of the electrical system. Adverse conditions can cause the wire or wires to
pull-out of the connector. Electrical systems are breached when repairs are made with inferior, unsealed electrical connections. Equipment downtime often results in hundreds to thousands of dollars in lost opportunities and repair costs.

There is a part of nature that favors the idea of a strong affinity. Sharks and remoras, for example, get along famously. Other examples closer to home might include rum and coke, or fish and chips. You shouldn't think that all this is just sweetness and light, however. There is a darker part to it all.
Many of us will have experienced the strong affinity between cue balls and pool table pockets and – really – do we even have to talk about the attractive forces between golf balls and water? There is more at work than we appreciate here and, for a Fairfield County man in Connecticut, the evidence became very real this week.
According to a report in The Daily of New Canaan, CT, Mark Weiss had parked his 1962 Corvette near Mead Pond in the town, which lies about 8 miles northeast of Stamford. After having some electrical issues with the car, Weiss went to speak with a friend. When he looked back, the Corvette was slowly rolling down a ramp to the pond.
Best efforts apparently could not stop the car's determined dive and firefighters had to be called to retrieve the convertible. "I must have hit the gear shift and it just started rolling," Weiss told the newspaper.
Although Weiss faces a good deal of work to undo the damage, the pond contained fresh rather than salt water. The job will be somewhat easier because of this.
We're not ones to make single point projections. However, in the few months since this web site opened, this is at least the third instance we have encountered of a Corvette making a run for a body of water. Something may be going on here. Please stand by while we investigate this paranormal phenomenon…

55 attorney generals from different states, districts and U.S. territories have reached an agreement with HarperCollins, Hachette and Simon & Schuster in the ongoing litigation over eBook pricing.
According to the terms of the deal, consumers who bought an eBook from any of the "Agency Five" publishers during April 1, 2010 until May 21, 2012 will receive compensation.
Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster will pay consumers who purchased eBooks from any of the five agencies accused of price fixing, including Macmillan and Penguin, who have yet to settle. Payments will begin 30 days after the settlement gets its final court approval.
Attorney generals across the nation released press releases explaining these terms. In Connecticut attorney general George Jepsen's release, he stated his concern, "While publishers are entitled to their profits, consumers are equally entitled to a fair and open marketplace. This settlement will provide restitution to those customers who were harmed by this price-fixing scheme, but it also will restore competition in the eBook market for consumers' long-term benefit." (Via The Associated Press).

Heading to Zihuatanejo, I had no memory of the town, no idea I had heard of it somewhere before setting foot on its sands in January. A fishing port for centuries, the town of Zihuatanejo, "Zihua" to locals, hugs Zihuatanejo Bay. In the northwestern region of the State of Guerrero, sheltered by the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains, Zihuatanejo proudly boasts of being "the land of women". The name Zihuatanejo stems from the Náhuatl word, Zihuatlan, meaning "land of women". Continue Reading

It's rare to write about Major League Baseball – the New York Mets specifically – and not fall into the usual daily depressing nitpicking, the armchair quarterbacking, that the organization seems to have provided it's loyal fans the last few years.
The New York Mets are certainly a sports writers dream considering that they are rarely boring – if anything else. Occasionally though , we find ourselves lucky to come across someone with an idea that transcends the average everyday doldrums of meaningless September baseball. Former New York Met Brent Mayne is that man.
Brent is a former Major League catcher whose career spanned 15 seasons, from 1989 to 2004. Most of his career was spent with the Kansas City Royals, but he also played for the Mets back in 1996, the A's, Giants, Rockies, D'Backs and the Dodgers.
Catching is Brent's passion, as told in his book, "The Art of Catching" and his website brentmayne.com. His knowledge of what many in the baseball world have called the "tools of ignorance", clearly shows fans and pro's alike, that this man is no fool regarding his craft. What caught my eye about this former Met backstop was a promising idea – A Glove Drive – in which he came up with after a trip he made to Italy.
The idea, like most great ideas, start off in such simplistic ways that you tend to ask yourself, "Why didn't I think of doing that?" Brent basically had the idea for people to scrounge up their old baseball gloves and put them in the hands of kids in need. It's not the re-invention of the wheel – but like most ideas we may come up with in our minds – very few of us put those ideas into play.
I had an opportunity to ask Brent a few questions about the glove drive and few regarding the game he's come to love with a passion over the years – as most of us have as well.
Joe Spector – Brent thank you for your time. I was wondering what inspired you to do a glove drive and where were you looking to focus your help?
Brent Mayne – I've been thinking about a glove drive for a long time. I've actually done similar things in the past, bringing equipment down to Mexico and Nicaragua. Kind of surf/goodwill missions. Anyway, these were a big success and so I thought, with the blog and all, that I'd try a similar thing with Art of Catching.
On Brent's website he speaks about how he's had local charities in California (Compton and Santa Ana) and international organizations in Mexico and Nicaragua, looking to assist in this endeavor. Like he's said it doesn't have to be a huge event, but everyone of us out there can help. To take part in this worthwhile effort – start rummaging through your attics and garage's and send your gloves to:
The Art of Catching
2701 Harbor Blvd. E-2, #203
Costa Mesa, CA 92626
Brent has offered everyone who donates a glove, The Art of Catching stickers and signed baseball cards as a personal thank you for your goodwill.
I went on to ask Brent a few other questions.
JS– You've written a book, "The Art of Catching" , have you ever considered throwing your hat into the MLB managing/coaching ring – especially considering so many great managers and coaches have been former catchers?
BM– As far as managing/coaching in professional baseball, not right now. I've got 3 kids, 2 of which are still in the house and I want to be around home. That actually is the big reason why I retired. So, to tell you the truth, if I wanted to still take part in the traveling circus, I'd still be playing. It's a better job than coaching, you make way more dough, and even at 41, I still think I can do it. Maybe when the time is right I'll try my hand at coaching.
I tried to pick Brent's mind on what he thought of Mets catcher Josh Thole, but unfortunately he hasn't really had the opportunity to see Josh play as of yet. However, I did lob him a juicy BP pitch of a question.
JS– Brent would you mind putting on your fantasy GM hat? What would General Manager Brent Mayne do to fix the New York Mets?
BM– You know what, I haven't seen enough of the Mets to make a quality decision as a fantasy GM. From a distance though, in that ballpark, I'd follow the same template that a team like the Padres has…that is, pitching and defense with one big bopper.
It's certainly an idea to consider. It's not as if the Mets don't have a few boppers in the lineup. Defensively they've been one of the best in the majors this year, ranking 7th in fewest errors. Pitching of course is the key and with the recent injury and later surgery for Johan Santana, pitching in 2011 will clearly be the prominent question mark for the New York Mets, eclipsing any attention it's garnered this year.
Baseball is a funny game. Every stat in the books can't judge if a player is definitely going to have a breakout year or have a polar opposite. Just like when the ball rolled under Buckner's glove – little did he know when he woke up that day he would be an out away from being a World Champion – and have that dream erased due to bad knees and even worse luck. Keith Hernandez loves to quote a former teammate of his, Joaquin Andujar, who apparently channeled Yogi Berra when he said you can sum up Baseball in one word….
"…you just never know."
One thing I do know is that guys like Brent Mayne represent the best this great game has to offer. Maybe we should at least for a day, put aside the bickering and the consternation the Metropolitans tend to offer us and head over to Brent's site and perhaps even more importantly, find your old unused baseball gloves and send them over to Brent.
Let's make a difference in a kid's life by giving them a real chance to enjoy this game we've all grown to love, because you just never know.

A. The real problem is that each user account and machine account takes up space in the SAM file, and the SAM file has to be memory resident. A user account takes up 1024 bytes of memory (a machine account half as much), so for each person (assuming they each had one machine) would be 1.5 KB. This would mean for a 10,000 user domain each PDC/BDC would need 15MB of memory just to store the SAM! Imagine a network with 100,000 people. This is one of the reasons you have multiple domains and then setup trust relationships.

H+ : Bryan Singer Web Series
Reviewed by Jessa Phillips, © 2013
"Humanity goes offline. Survival goes on."
Web series have garnered an incredible amount of attention in the last ten years. What began as an independent movement, which allowed artists their own creative voice, has captured the attention of network studios and successful producers such as Bryan Singer (X-Men, House, M.D., The Usual Suspects).
Bryan Singer took to the web to show what a web series could be with a big budget to back it up, in the large scale project, H+: The Digital Series. The series takes viewers into the not too distant future when technology is so embedded in humanity it is literally implanted. H+ Nano is a microchip implant that allows the user access to entertainment and global communications via a transmitter that adheres directly to the human nervous and optical systems, displaying the interface in a virtual heads up display. In an age when technology has infiltrated everyday living, what happens when the system goes offline?
The first episode opens with a corporate promotional video highlighting the features of H+ Nano and a series of news coverage clips, interrupted by a hacker's warning, "the creator, a.) does not support it anymore; b.) has been missing for weeks." From there, the audience is thrust into action.
In a San Francisco airport parking garage, people prepare for travel when the H+ network is hacked. Suddenly, people begin dropping where they stand and planes crash on the surface as the disabled implants sever the users' brain functions.
From there, you will want to take notes.
The few to survive are those without the implant, including children, or those who were out of the network signal range. Somehow, those who remain must find a way to to survive and discover what went wrong.
The plot spans vast spaces, both in location and time. The story follows groups of people in locations around the world, such as Italy, the Republic of Congo and India, with the intention of communicating the expanse affected by the H+ virus. Though these small pockets of survivors are separated by distance, make no mistake, their stories are intertwined.
With each episode, the audience is presented with only morsels of information to piece together the over-arcing conspiracy. To tackle the timeline, which stretches from 8 years prior to the virus through 2 years after, the series uses the time honored device of flashes, back and forward.
The first season is comprised of 48 episodes, averaging 5 minutes per episode. When watching the series one episode at a time, the flashes are of little consequence. However, when viewing multiple episodes in a single sitting, they become quite tiresome.
Taking into consideration the flashbacks, the survival aspect and the grand plot, one cannot help but be reminded of the television series LOST. Since the finale, many projects have attempted to capture the magic Lost brought to the small screen. H+: The Digital Series does a wonderful job of presenting a series with similar ambitions.
In addition to the 48 episodes of the first season, the production team schedules and makes public Google Hangouts, as well as vlogs and other behind the scenes content, to discuss the making of the series. The additional video provides an interesting look at the creative process, as well as content to hold audiences over until season 2.
Here's the trailer. Watch the complete season 1 on the H+: The Digital Series YouTube Channel.

United Way Kicks Off 2008 Pacesetter Campaign
By Ryan Stotts, La Crosse Tribune, Wis.
Jul. 24--ONALASKA, Wis. -- Great Rivers United Way kicked off its Pacesetter campaign with a big show of support.Pacesetter co-chairwoman Julie Bartels, an administrator for women and children's services at Franciscan Skemp, said this year marks a high point in participation, with 18 local companies vowing to raise money before the main fundraising campaign begins in September. "You are setting the pace for our community," Bartels told the volunteers at a picnic Wednesday afternoon at the United Way offices in Onalaska.
Employees from the participating companies were able to visit some of United Way's agencies -- such as the Coulee Council on Addiction, the American Red Cross and the Coulee Children's Center -- where they helped paint, clean and perform other community service projects.
"We're going there to see where our dollars are going," said State Bank of Onalaska Community Banking Manager Jodi Grams. She said she planned on visiting several locations throughout the day.
"It's overwhelming what we get to do and the people we get to meet and help out," she said.

Forums → Popular Media → Ghosts vs. Demons
wat would u pick Ghosts or Demons.You decide.....
- 12 Replies
I believe there are no such things as ghosts. I believe that demons pretend to be ghosts to fool the world. But demons are evil and the obey the devil so I wouldn't want them on my team either.
ur not here to explain thing ur sopusse to pick!(not spam,just to let u no)
well, Ghosts can only get hit from force damage, while demons get DR/good and DR/silver, IIRC. Also, demons are a higher CR, so I'd have to go with those </DnD nerd>
Seriously, what does a ghost do. Appear in a see through form and go "woooo" at you? please, demons will rip your face off and beat your family to death with your head. Way cooler.
lol! I agree. Ectoplasm facial vs. decapitation...
hmm....tough choice
Hmm...well I believe in both, and I would say for sure demons, although ghosts are plain frightening...
demons :]
Demons have satan on their side so the choice is obvious.
Well if the demons could touch the ghosts then demons but since ghosts are see through and you can't touch/feel them the ghost would win because he could deck a demon without the demon being able to touch him... But I would like the demon to win because they rockkk
..Both of these: demons or ghost are only a rubbish of human intelligence. So, I think they dont exist: ghosts are only something we afraid in dark and cold places, demons are companions of satan..what about aliens vs. bacteries..hahaha
this should be in the tavern

Of the soldiers of 53rd Battalion of the Fifth Australian Division at Fromelles only three of the men in the photograph came out of the battle alive and all three were wounded.
It was during the battles of Fromelles and Pozieres that Australia suffered 23000 casualties, of these, 6800 soldiers were killed, a loss comparable to those numbers in the Gallipoli campaign. On this battlefield, the soldiers had to endure the mud, the stench of bodies decaying, the flotsam of war, towards their destiny.
Both battles saw the brave and courageous men from all walks of life, including the Gloucester region, depart from our shores with a firm belief that they would return to their loved ones.
The Australian troops lacked experience in trench warfare in 1916 and the power of German defence was significantly underestimated by the higher ups and the men on the ground. Despite their inexperience they threw themselves into their preparation but nothing could prepare each soldier for combat.
The Fifth, First and Second Division were unprepared for the artillery by the Germans as they concentrated the bulk of their artillery on the Australians. However, the Second Division attacked the German positions time and time again, even though exhausted, they attacked again and the Australians with their 'get up and go' attitude, held on.
In the fields of Frommelles and Pozieres, the Gloucester men who fell, were never to see the beauty and tranquillity that Gloucester is known for, the smell of eucalyptus from the gum trees, and the rolling hills of home.
The men from Gloucester who paid the supreme sacrifice in the fifth division were Sgt Burns A, Pte Germon G, Cpl Harris H, Pte Higgins W B. Pte Laurie A D, Pte Williams A E and Pte Yardy R A and from the Second Division Pte Walsh who was later to die of wounds.
Against all the odds and defiance of all expectations, the Australians developed into a military force beyond peer. This small band of civilian volunteer soldiers shaped the outcome of this terrible war which saw the armies of the great European nations crumbled around them.
Lest we forget.

The above is just a rudimentary, Cliff's Notes' style overview that doesn't begin to do justice to the tale's subtleties. Throughout the book, Torcia laces Jerry story with elements that give insight into his life and possible future. These include the suggestion that Jerry's all-consuming interest in Superman is a reflection of his budding homosexuality, as well as his dreams of Robert dying in battle (in Vietnam). On the surface, Jerry's tale is a cautionary one about misguided faith and shattered innocence. Yet its hard to ignore the religious subtext that flows throughout the book before reaching a crescendo in its climax. Is Torcia saying that man should only place his faith in God? Or is his ending proof that we should only look to ourselves and our loved ones for guidance. Or is it an indictment of all kinds of faith? There are discussions about humanism vs. religion to be found here if you dig deep enough. And what of Jerry's visions for Robert's grim future? What role do they play in the story? Let your book club chew on this one.
The Kryptonite Kid is out of print and somewhat difficult to find — even online where used copies tend to fluctuate wildly in price. You can still track it down with some persistence, and if you do make every attempt to get the blue covered hardback version pictured above that contains Torcia's original ending. (Other versions have a softer finale). After publishing one more book, Torcia died in 1996. But The Kryptonite Kid remains. It even was the subject of a 1991 Off-Broadway play, and Torcia had been working on a possible film adaptation prior to his death. Pick it up for an unforgettable, if somewhat chilling, meditation on fandom and the dangers of blind faith.

Last week, IKEA stores in the United States stopped offering free plastic bags to customers, instead opting to charge $.05 per plastic bag or $.59 for a reusable bag.
The move echoes a long-term trend overseas, particularly in Europe, to move away from environmentally unfriendly plastic shopping bags to reusable bags.
The Sweden-based retailer has the goal of reducing plastic bag consumption by 50 percent in the United States, and it has supported phasing out the bags altogether. Proceeds from the sale of the $.05 plastic bags go to the forest protection nonprofit group American Forests.
Several countries have banned or instituted a charge for plastic bags, including China, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Kimball Leaves Piano Business
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, January 9, 2002
Kimball International Inc., once one of the nation's largest piano makers, announced Thursday that it plans to cut its ties to the music business by selling its Boesendorfer piano subsidiary.
Kimball, which has owned the hand-crafted Austrian piano line for more than 35 years, once commanded about 20 percent of the U.S. market by producing up to 80,000 Kimball pianos a year in the late 1970s before ceasing production in 1996.
Kimball expects the sale of Boesendorfer to BAWAG-Bank of Austria to be finalized within 60 days, pending Austrian regulatory approval. Terms of the sale are confidential, company spokesman Martin Vaught said.
About 550 Boesendorfer pianos are made a year, with each piano taking 62 weeks to produce. The Boesendorfer line was founded in the 1820s and only about 150 of the pianos are imported a year into the United States.
Doug Habig, chief executive and chairman of Jasper-based Kimball, said the sale was brought about by the company's desire to concentrate on its furniture and electronics businesses.

The following is an alert from the Board of Water Supply:
The Board of Water Supply (BWS) would like to alert the public about an incident, which occurred late last week, that involved a customer who was the victim of a telephone scam to fraudulently collect money.
The incident involved an early evening call to a BWS customer in which the individual claimed that a balance of about $100 for the water/sewer bill must be paid immediately or else service would be shut off. The customer asked to speak to a supervisor, who reportedly demanded credit card payment at that time and threatened service shutoff. Unfortunately, the customer complied with the demand and provided the caller with a credit card number. When the customer checked the account balance the next day, there was no record of the payment.
Anyone who receives a similar phone call is encouraged to call the BWS at 748-5030 to confirm the account balance first before making payment. Meanwhile, the BWS would like the public to be aware of its collection procedure:
- The BWS does not call customers outside its business hours of Monday-Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to request for payment.
- The BWS does not call customers, demand payment, and collect payment all in the same phone call.
- If a customer is contacted for overdue payment, he or she will be asked to call 748-5030 to make credit card payment.
The BWS also reminds the public that, if you are approached by someone saying he or she is from the BWS, all personnel involved in official BWS activities will be properly credentialed, wearing official BWS attire with the BWS logo, driving BWS labeled vehicles, and carrying an official City and County of Honolulu badge, with the agency identified as the BWS.
Residents are encouraged to call the Honolulu Police Department at 911 if they observe any suspicious activity. The community may also call the BWS at 748-5041 to file an additional report.

Have Fun!! :)
Mega man is one of the stars of the NES franchise, with its games, animations, and all merchandises. As you play along, you have the ability to acquire enemy's abilities and switch between weapons. What makes this game so unique is the ability for your character to shoot while climbing ladders. I don't think some games offer this kind of thinking even in today's standards. The fact that there are countless Megaman sequels is a good hint that this game is worth your time and money.

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez admits it was a struggle in the opening weeks of his reign.
Benitez stopped attempting to win his critics round a long time ago.
But the 53-year-old knows, from the unpromising circumstances he walked into last November, if the Europa League makes this the seventh trophy-winning campaign out of nine for the Stamford Bridge outfit, he will have nothing to reproach himself for.
"You can always make mistakes but it was not an easy situation at the beginning," he said.
"We have managed it quite well.
"Every day, after every training session, I go home and think we are doing our best.
"For me it is always important to win trophies. If we win it will be easier and people will realise that to be here, at this stage of the competition, means we have done a lot of things well."

Shares in Maruti Suzuki rose as much as 4.5 per cent tracking the continued weakness in the Japanese yen, which slid to a 3-1/2 year low against the dollar on Friday. The yen suffered its biggest one-day tumble since late 2008 on Thursday, on the back of the Bank of Japan's radical campaign to attack deflation.
A weaker yen would improve Maruti's margins by reducing the costs of importing auto parts from Japan.
Maruti Suzuki shares were up 4.3 percent as of 10:49 a.m.
Meanwhile, global investment bank CLSA maintained a "buy" rating on Maruti shares with a target of Rs 1,850. Demand side negatives are priced in the stock, CLSA said, adding that valuations overlook positives such as stabilizing market share.
CLSA said the demand environment is likely to improve by fiscal year 2014-15.

President Obama will meet with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos at the White House Tuesday to discuss improved trade relations between the two countries, as well as the Colombian government's efforts to pursue peace talks with rebel groups and expand economic opportunities.
Santos arrived in Florida on Monday and said he was cautiously optimistic about the progress of negotiations with Marxist FARC rebels that began in Cuba last year and are aimed at ending nearly a half-century of conflict.
"I think the conditions are there" for a successful conclusion to the talks, Santos said at the University of Miami, according to a Reuters report. "Things are moving hopefully in the correct direction."
It will be the Colombian president's second visit to Washington since taking office in 2010. Santos, 62, also just launched his reelection campaign, announcing November 20 that he plans to seek a second term in next May's election.
An administration official said the U.S. proposed the visit before that announcement and it should not be viewed as an endorsement from President Obama.
"We think there is going to be a good and strong election," said the official, adding that the visit "is not an expression of support for a particular candidate but for the people of Colombia."
During his speech Monday, Santos touted the year-old peace talks and economic progress in his country. He said Colombia had made great strides over the last decade in fighting the guerrilla insurgency and trying to forge strong business relationships with North America instead of simply relying on U.S. military aid to help fight the FARC.
"We are now being respected internationally," Santos said.
Instead of focusing on military assistance, he said the meeting with Obama would largely center on education and technology, as well as regional security.
Even though the U.S. and Colombia have strong relations, the relationship between Washington and much of Latin America -- where the influence of left-wing Venezuela often dominates -- are strained.
Santos pointed to President John F. Kennedy's Alliance for Progress that was aimed at strengthening ties between the U.S. and Latin America. He said he will talk to Obama about pursuing a similar effort, suggesting that it be called the Alliance for Progress and Peace.
The administration official acknowledged that the U.S.-Colombian relationship is transforming from one of U.S.-backed law enforcement assistance to efforts to help bolster human-rights protections and promote economic development.
Since Congress passed the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement in 2012, there has been $41 billion in two-way trade. In the first year after the deal, U.S. exports increased 19 percent and 1,300 Colombian companies exported goods to the U.S. for the first time.

Data creation outpaces data storage space
by David Stellmack on14 March 2008
- font size decrease font size increase font size
First time ever
According to IDC, we are creating digital information at a pace that exceeds the world's current ability to provide storage space for this information. In 2007 the quantity of information created, captured and replicated was 281 exabytes (281 billion gigabytes), which is more than 264 exabytes of storage available on CDs, DVDs, memory, hard drives and tapes. Compare the 281 exabytes number to 2006's quantity of information created, which is 161 exabytes.
The amount of permanent physical storage space is not 'actually' being exceeded, considering that some of it is discarded and does not need to be archived (TV programs and radio broadcasts that do not need to be saved or prerecorded, voice call packets that can be deleted and standard daily surveillance video that is not saved). That said the amount of digital information being generated is rising at a much higher rate than the IT storage capacity will be able to store the information needed in the future.
IDC predicts almost 1,800 exabytes of information will be created in 2011, which will be more than twice the amount of then available storage. However, according to Mark Lewis, President of Content Management for EMC, the price of storage will continue to decline with renewed demand, and because supply responds to demand he does not believe we will hit a wall where there is not available storage for information that must be stored.
Various businesses and industries are accumulating data in huge quantities daily. Wal-Mart, Inc. refreshes its customer databases every hour, adding 1 billion new rows per hour of data to its data warehouse with a 600-terabyte capability; Chevron and others in this industry are developing a digital oilfield to monitor exploration, and Chevron's system itself adds 2 terabytes of new data per day; YouTube users (almost 100,000,000) create almost as much digital information as the medical imaging industry does.
Let's hope these industries are also putting someone in charge of purging obsolete data as well as collecting it.

Most of my clients come to me because his or her life resembles a merry-go-round… the same scene passes by over and over; been there, done that. Many respond to this repetition with either anxiety, depression or both. Probably these occur in order: first anxiety and then depression. Anxiety occurs when we first realize that we're caught in a loop, like a leaf that can't flow downstream because it can't escape the backwater or eddy. Some sort of desperate feeling takes over as we realize that we're no longer steering our lives but rather, something is steering us. When we are unwilling to endure the intense reaction that our predicament stirs up, we find ways of suppressing our distress. This suppression, originally a freely chosen option, now becomes the default state and we are diagnosed as suffering from depression.
Therapy, on the other hand, involves re-engaging the soul or psyche in an alliance with the therapist. Now the goal is not suppression but rather the arousal necessary for empowerment. Together, the client and therapist begin to disentangle the person from their habits and reactive patterns. Then the work of genuine reconstruction can begin.

Vanessa Tesoriero lost her hearing at age 17, which was all the more challenging due to a great love of music. "I grew up playing the piano, flute, guitar, and singing," Tesoriero said in an interview for the Homeroom Blog. "Music was a huge part of my life." But instead of giving up her favorite activities, this obstacle was surmounted with a fierce determination and desire to help others in the Deaf community and beyond.
Tesoriero decided to turn her frustration into inspiration. The motivation behind Tesoriero's teaching stemmed from wanting a deeper understanding of her own disability. Driven to find the answers, in college, she learned sign language and studied audiology, speech pathology, and linguistics. She soon grew to love teaching others, which eventually led her to become a teacher and later brought her to Department of Education in the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.
She attended Columbia University's Teachers College, studying Deaf Education. Upon graduating she went on to teach at a state school for the deaf in Brooklyn, later moving to the New York City Public School system to teach at the city's only public school for the deaf.
"I always wanted to share music with my students – even though some skeptics would ask why I would want to teach music to deaf children. It seemed almost ironic, but my students love dance, vibration, and music. Everyone loves music!"
While teaching, Tesoriero directed the school musical, "Free to Be You and Me", striking a chord with both the hearing and deaf students of the school, as it "brought the whole community together" with a compilation of songs, poetry, skits and dance. Based on the book by Marlo Thomas and Friends, the essence of the play focused upon promoting individuality and comfort with your identity.
"It was a showcase of everyone's talents, and the students loved it. I played the piano while the children sang, signed and danced. It gave these children a sense of confidence that some weren't necessarily experiencing in the classroom academically. It really opened up opportunities for kids to shine in other ways."
Inside Tesoriero's classroom, learning exercises accompanied the similar theme of inclusion and promotion of self-identity. Using "open-ended" approaches, she allowed the students to be creative and approach problems differently.
"I wanted to open their minds to the value of differences, promote respect, tolerance, and cooperation in showing them that being different can be a good thing."
Tesoriero's experience in the classroom continues to play an important role in her job at the Department of Education. After her recent completion of the Administration Program for Special Education Leaders at Johns Hopkins University, Tesoriero now finds herself at ED as the Small Business Innovation Research Program Specialist at the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research.
She oversees grantees who are researching and developing cutting-edge technologies and products that focus on helping people with disabilities.
