Very off-topic but I think interesting: I've been reading Tog's stuff for a while now and he explains on many levels what went "wrong" (inefficient) with Microsoft and Sun UIs (partially because of Apple being copywrite/patent pigs, take that as you wish). He mentions some things specifically here.
Regarding #5: Now I personally like my menus on my windows, either because I grew up that way (familiarity) or because when I have multiple windows open, they each should clearly have their menus with them. But as Ubuntu embraces Unity, it's bringing more and more Appley stuff to the interface. Shared menus (so that the menus are at the top or on an edge) are one. The horrid, horrid horrid mistake that is the App Bar/Task Bar appearing from a hidden location on the edge is also one (many of us have been conditioned to click on the usually-empty left side of Youtube videos to gain our focus back from the Flash... but in Unity this brings the unwanted applications bar. Also when trying to hit the Back button. Or reach the application's File menu. Arg arg arg. Horrid. So now we spend wasted time figuring out how to move it to a more sensible location like the bottom).
Anyway I guess I'll say putting the mistakes of an OS UI on the web is a bad thing and putting the things they got right of an OS UI on the web is only a good thing if the reasons for those things are the same between Desktop and Web. Sg707 is right that familiarity *is* good in that the learning curve for new people is lower. But the way to go there is take what works and makes sense on the web and cloak it in familiar things where appropriate, so people can recognise what new things are (skeuomorphic design).
About 10 years ago: remember when DHTML came out and people used Javascript for dropdown menus? What were those dropdown menus emulating? Heirarchical application dropdown menus. Except, on desktops, the menus usually stayed on-screen after a click, which was necessary because 1. it frees the pointer and if there are submenus 2. humans consistently suck at moving perfect horizonal lines. So DHTML imitated that: submenus often appeared onclick. Fine mouse control wasn't necessary.
When CSS (with :hover) started taking over the job of DHTML, though, a problem came: many sites had been training users to click to open menus. With CSS menus, because the top-level itself should be clickable to somewhere (in case the dropdown cannot be opened for one reason or another), clicking on the top-level item brought unexpected results to experienced users. Meanwhile slow new people got a chance to see the dropdown appear on :hover because they hadn't had time to click on it yet.
Also finer mouse control became a must, and nested submenus became increasingly difficult to use. Go three levels down but then oops you went a pixel too far off the sub sub sub menu and now it's all gone and you have to start all over again. WUT!
Hovering to show submenus started becoming the norm for the web (but still isn't for any of my applications on Desktop though. For good reason: hovering isn't considered enough of an intent, while clicking is. So hovering without intent should not bring unexpected or unwanted actions). So we have familiarity, and then we have training. We train users, and we ourselves get trained by applications we use.
And now we have touch interfaces actually in the hands of the regular public rather than limited to strange museum kiosks and ticket machines and whatnot. And touch has different ideas of intent, and does not have :hover (and has a different idea of :focus). We haven't been touching our Desktops (Metro I hear wants to change this, and Dell and some others have been offering combo touch/mouse/keyboard machines now), nor have we been using pens on them, but we might in the near future or already are on our tablets. This means our interfaces can't simply copy over from mouse-and-keyboard OS UIs. It's not that simple, even if it's familiar to people. I would rather trade in some familiarity for some works-better-with-this-setup. If something is intuitive or easily discoverable then it doesn't have to be so familiar.
An interesting thing mentioned in a lot of usability texts: people figure out a way to use something. It may be arduous and take many steps. It turns out, users tend to find the first way that works, and they stick to it even if it's longer and harder than another way. Users do not generally explore new ways of doing something once they've found one way to do it. So I'd say when building an interface, make the first way they are likely to find how to do something the easiest.
We're nerds, right? How many of us have watched someone using a mouse to fill in a web form? Zomg it's painful.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, hasn't taken a position on the legislation and a spokesman said he would review the bill.

Courageous » Utah Democratic Party Chairman and state Sen. Jim Dabakis helped negotiate the LDS Church's support of Salt Lake City's anti-discrimination ordinance, calling it a "red-letter day."
"It was a bold move," he said. "It was a courageous move and I salute the church for it."
The conversations leading up to the new ordinance stemmed from a controversy in which two gay men were detained by LDS security for hugging and kissing on the church's Main Street Plaza.
LDS Church spokesman Michael Otterson addressed the City Council at the time, saying: "The church supports these ordinances because they are fair and reasonable and do not do violence to the institution of marriage."
Since then, 14 other cities and counties in Utah have since passed anti-discrimination laws, including Salt Lake County. The County Council sent a letter to Hatch in June asking him to support ENDA.
"We believe this to be good public policy that should be replicated on the federal level to protect all Americans regardless of the municipality in which they work," said the letter. "This legislation will not allow preferential treatment based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and it would not apply to small businesses with fewer than 15 employees or religious organizations."
Dabakis, who is gay, said he wasn't surprised by Hatch's vote because the conservative senator has always been "fair" and he anticipates that Congress will eventually pass the bill as well.
"It just seems fair and logical and reasonable," Dabakis said, "and I think the Congress is going to do the right thing."

The Testament of Jessie Lamb
Jane Rogers
The Testament of Jessie Lamb
Jane Rogers
Winner of the 2012 Arthur C. Clarke
Longlisted for the 2011 Man Booker Prize.
Women are dying in their millions. Some blame scientists, some see the hand of God, some see human arrogance reaping the punishment it deserves. Jessie Lamb is an ordinary girl living in extraordinary times: as her world collapses, her idealism and courage drive her towards the ultimate act of heroism. If the human race is to survive, it's up to her.
But is Jessie heroic? Or is she, as her father fears, impressionable, innocent, incapable of understanding where her actions will lead?
Set just a month or two in the future, in a world irreparably altered by an act of biological terrorism, The Testament of Jessie Lamb explores a young woman's determination to make her life count for something, as the certainties of her childhood are ripped apart.
by Angela Crocombe
It's highly unusual for a Young Adult novel to be longlisted for the Booker, but this powerful story did just that back in 2011 and now is finally being published locally. It's an engaging read that asks many probing questions of adults and teenagers alike.
In a possible not-too-distant future, a virus has been unleashed upon humanity that is carried by all, but only kills women when they become pregnant. Who is to blame and why are questions that are never really answered, but are somehow beside the point as ordinary people try to deal with this brave new world reality.
Jessie and her friends are some of the last of humanity, children born before the virus made pregnancy impossible. They are going to college, but they wonder why they should bother when the world seems to be coming to a grinding halt. The discussions these young adults have, the choices they make, their anger with the way society has let them down, is all dealt with potently and authentically.
The reader is made to empathise with the very different decisions they choose in order to feel their lives have some purpose, in contrast to the adults who primarily get through by pretending it isn't happening or getting drunk.
Jessie's father is a scientist at the front line of research into the use of human embryos and 'sleeping beauties' — women impregnated either naturally or through IVF and put into a coma so that the baby will gestate and be born before they die. There is fierce debate within society over the ethics of using sleeping beauties and who owns the orphaned child that is born.
Jessie is being held captive at the beginning of the book and this is her testament to the events that led up to her incarceration and why she has made one of the toughest decisions possible in this darkly pessimistic world.
Likened to The Handmaid's Tale and Never Let Me Go, this book deals with a future not too far along humanity's current path and forces us to question how it will impact upon the young. It is both a thought provoking read and a powerful cautionary tale. I highly recommend it.

Re: ANYONE WITH INFO ON VERY BIZARRE HAPPENINGS IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2003 IN DALLAS/FORT WORTH TX PLEASE HELP!! Quote
I, for one, believe the OP saw exactly what she says she saw.
But it is getting frustrating to have so many posters coming on here and saying that that she did indeed see something special. None of them have told her exactly who the man is and what he is about!
Posters are pretending to be in the know but only offer further mystery. Just spit it out. Who is he? What is he about? Is he JC, antiChrist, witness, alien, hybrid or what??? Stop all the "oh, yes he's special and you will know someday" bullshit and say it how it is!
It's getting irritating and it's not even interesting anymore. The poor OP must be very frustrated by all the riddles and mystery crap.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 505912
Ok. I understand your frustration.
I will say ALL I know but if you don't believe me, it is on you.
You all must understand that this mystery guy is connected to groups most of you deny exist. He IS living in South Carolina. He is there right now. 100% positive. When I say groups you deny exist, the first thing that popped into your head was illuminati or NWO type groups..right? Not so. When I say groups you deny I mean ones that are REALLY in control. Ones that aren't Earth bound. Keep your BS flags tucked. You want to know the truth about this thread, well I am telling it. If it doesn't fit into your easily explained away life then why are you even reading this thread with interest. Especially 22 pages later.
What the OP saw was not just some event. It was a major event. It was what some might call ordained. If I lose some of you now, well, leave. You asked, I am telling. If you ask my credentials on this matter I will tell you that I am in the know...somewhat. I have been in the shadow groups for a long time and have been hearing rumors about this guy even before this all happened. See, there is this thing called prophecy. They have know this guy was coming before he came. You know the crazy kind of law that the illuminati sort of adheres to that states "they must tell you about it first before they do it to you then it's ok"? Well, that is how these prophesies work that TPTB have found all over the world in carvings, paintings, scripts, books, etc. etc. I was told by someone very high up in the dark circles that this guy would arrive and there is nothing they can do about it. He said they were fighting the "HAND OF GOD".
What you all fail to understand is that there are quite a few members and former members of these dark circles that know about this thread and really just want the hell out. They are afraid. They denied there was actually someone or thing out there more powerful than them and whom they follow until they found this guy they cannot kill. Now they cannot even come near him. He is protected not by armed men standing by the window. He is protected by beings far above what most even believe in. He has 24 hour covering 7 days a week all year round. There is more UFO activity over wherever he is at any given time than almost anywhere else in the world. This would require you to believe in the fact that we have crafts within our atmosphere that are not from here. Guess what? We do. Have forever. They watch. They protect. They watch and protect him.
This guy has had contact with these watchers for years. He is completely aware of his protection. It is massive. What happened in Dallas was everything OP says and more. The ones coming on here making statements to that affect, including me, are speaking the truth. They know it is coming out anyway and some have told me they want to try and do something good to somehow rectify all the bad they have been involved in. I know this all sounds crazy but doesn't lights shooting into a pool, with hoards of birds, and a crazed guy throwing furniture across lobbies? It is not normal because it is out of the norm. This guy is out of the norm. He is in his early 40's. He is tall and dark haired and good looking. He has been watched by all sides since birth. He is American. He has bloodline that is BOTH sides. His bloodline mixture is very unique. He actually comes (partly) from one of the 13 illuminati families that you can google. The other part, well, that is another matter. I have actually heard that his mother was put to sleep and then artificially inseminated. I know.. crazy. I cannot verify this, just a rumor that will not go away amongst the circles.
Speaking of which, they are very afraid of this guy. I mean very. This guy has been talking about enlightenment and ascension for years and a lot of people he knows personally think that he is somewhat crazy. They are also very aware of his brilliance. I have heard rumors that his I.Q. is off the charts. I saw where another, that I suspect is in the know, say this exact thing earlier. I have heard this for years. The reason TPTB fear him so is that anything or anyone that at any time can have more actual power than them, can expose them and cast them out of the palace. The ones within the circles that had been systematically controlled to believe in nothing but their own power have had to come to a rude awakening. This event in Dallas was the death knell for their denial in a higher power. All the things the OP saw were real. The black SUV's were NWO agents and operatives who had come to town just to see all this. They were warned that he was in Dallas and some were actually trying to kill him. They actually threw him out of a speeding van on a major interstate near the airport. They were going to try and take him somewhere and kill him. All of the guys in the van were Iranian. That is what I was told.
The guy at the airport that was Asian was Chinese. There was a planned false flag at DFW that this mystery guy stopped. He knew about it. He was led there. He had the shit beat out of him and escaped. When he got to the airport he confronted lots of people and didn't really care who saw him. Obviously. They didn't arrest him because at that time he was what some in the circles call 'ON'. They say that when someone that is prophesied about comes into his calling that he has moments when he is actually activated. Yes enlightened. Many men throughout scriptures could do miraculous things but then seemed to go back to normal. It is something to that effect from what I have been told. Well, this Chinese man was no ordinary Joe. He was at the pinnacle of the circles within China. They are now VERY aware of the existence of mister mystery. They know his name. They know where he is. They know where he lives. They know what he eats. They know there isn't a damn thing they can do about it but wait. TPTB are completely and totally perplexed over what to do. For reason they do not know, everything they keep attempting to do to bring about world martial law, or at least in the US, has been thwarted. So much so that those within are now saying it is not going to happen. They are saying that this guy is going to ascend. They are saying that infighting over causing diversion (i.e.- pandemics, weather wars, even WW3) has escalated to the highest degree. Mass panic is taking place behind the scenes.
If he ascends, and proves humans are a LOT more than we have been conditioned to believe, the game is over. He will be invincible. Literally. Sounds crazy, I know. But you asked for the truth. The truth is weird. The reason the craziness is escalating within South Carolina is because this guy is there. It is his home. It was where he was born. The governor there may not know to the full extent about this guy. I was told he does then I was told he does not. He is, however, aware he is there. They have blackmailed Sanford. They have killed the attorney to make a point. The ones coming on here that are being matter of fact but vague are doing so because they are scared. I am somewhat protected and actually being allowed to say all this. I also saw where another said the same. I believe them. Lots of people within the circles want out and figure if many make a break at the same time they can't stop everyone. Even if dirty laundry gets aired, there will be so much that theirs won't be the only hanging in the breeze. Trust me though, this laundry is not only dirty...it is coated with blood.

Plantar fasciitis is a pain in the feet. Plantar fasciitis is a medical denotation when the plantar fascia develops inflammation. The plantar fascia is the connecting tissue which runs beneath your feet. In case you have had pain anytime under your feet while taking the first steps coming out of the bed early during morning, you must have sometime experienced this condition which is so painful.
In a lot of people, plantar fasciitis has been mostly connected with the overuse or even a rapid change in the level of activity however cutting off from the activity can offer a solution to your problem.

Moreover there are a lot of interesting as well as advanced kind of treatments in helping you to be relieved of your pain and discomfort, few simple things are there that you may do while at home in preventing plantar fasciitis and get speedy recovery from it.
Home Remedies For How To Get Rid Of Plantar Fasciitis
Calf Stretching in Bed
When your calf muscles gets tight, they start pulling on your heel bone and make the plantar fascia tight and inclined to injuries. So in order in helping those muscles to loosen up take either any belt or even a towel to noose it about your foot's ball. By placing your legs straight, gently try pulling in the direction of your body till you start feeling any stretch in your legs lower portion. Hold it in that position for minimum 30 sec and keep repeating this five times before coming out of your bed.

We hear stories daily about the success people are having with this exercises plan and treatment. It's completely natural and completely safe and scientifically proven to work and work well.

http://plantarfasciitistreatmentinfo.com/the-best-treatment – "Plantar Fasciitis Secrets" Exercises Plan And Treatment
Plantar Fascia Stretching
This helps in loosening up your tissues which cause you irritation. An easy way to do it is by pulling up your toes using your hands till you start feeling a kind of stretch on your foot's ball. The stretch can be felt from the foot's ball up to the heel. Hold onto that position for minimum 30 sec and by doing this you will not need to think of new ways of how to get rid of plantar fasciitis
A good massage under of your feet is an effective way of how to get rid off plantar fasciitis. However if you are in search of a less expensive option you can make use of a tennis ball to relieve you of your pain. Place the tennis ball onto the floor. Gently start to roll it beneath your foot till some minutes. This helps in loosening of your plantar fascia thereby making it less irritated. If you want a strong massage apply more pressure onto the ball.
Ice Massage
Put your foot onto a frozen water bottle which is on the floor and roll your foot on it for almost few minutes. This is also a good way of how to get rid of plantar fasciitis.

Police found seven people decapitated at a farm in the central Brazilian state of Goias, media outlets said.
The killings took place on Saturday night at a property in Doverlandia, 403 kilometers from Goiania, the state capital.
Authorities identified the victims as the property's 57-year-old owner, his 22-year-old son, a farm employee and four neighbours who had come to the house to present a wedding gift.
The remains of the owner and his son were found on the property by passing neighbours who noticed something amiss.
The other victims were discovered hours later at a nearby spot.
Police suspect the landowner, his son and the employee were the targets of the attack and that the visiting neighbours just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Mario Pires's curator insight, September 15, 9:40 AM
Now, virtually anyone can be a war photographer from the comfort of the couch, and make breaks for coffee or food. The mythology is still strong, despite all the facts that deny it.
Anne Bak's curator insight, July 16, 3:10 AM
Martha Veldthuis, sculpture, Hotel Lunia, Oldeberkoop.
Cheryl Frose's curator insight, June 12, 6:03 PM
Transmedia, a broad descriptive word that literally translated means "across media" and encompasses many strategies that transverse industries, is generally regarded as the use of multiple media platforms to tell a story or story experience. Though the word "transmedia" is thought to have entertainment franchise origins, its adaptation for education purposes is both valuable and becoming more and more common. While teachers like Sansing are using coding and programming in their language arts instruction, others are taking advantage of increasingly sophisticated apps and interactive media for classroom use.
David Collet's curator insight, June 12, 9:28 PM
I guess this another favorite topic for me. Imagine using transmedia to teach maths and include cross over language components. After all maths has a language of its own.
Dr. Pamela Rutledge's curator insight, June 18, 12:15 PM
Transmedia approaches encourage (or even force) people to actively acknowledge and design for a fluid and multi-dimensional, rather than linear, media environment. For the human brain, stories are not constrained by what's on the page. Transmedia begins to replicate how we think and encourages producers to innovate in each platform to create multiple touchpoints that facilitate our natural ability to imagine, project, expand and experience.
Karen Dietz's curator insight, June 11, 7:06 PM
This post by Emily G. Buchler gives us a terrific way to think about our business stories that will generate an endless stream of stories that are cohesive to your brand. How? By telling stories within stories.
Yes -- what a great point! She then does a fabulous job explaining what she means by this statement, and gives examples so we 'get it'.
Put this article into the category of 'strategic storytelling'. Yes, we need to craft our business stories. But if we don't think about them strategically, we can end up with messages at cross purposes with themselves as we produce content across different channels.
So go read this article because I think it will really help you generate ideas for more stories you can tell -- but in a way that is consistent with your brand.

You know by now that retro candy is what we do best. If you're looking for retro gum, this is the place! Here is where you will find Black Jack chewing gum, which was the first flavored gum (and one of the first chicle-based gums) on the market in the United States, which hit the shelves in 1884. Still flavored like black licorice, still black, and still in the vintage blue packaging, you can't get any more retro than this.We also carry Beemans Chewing Gum, which was introduced as a digestive aid in 1898. Remember Clove Chewing Gum? Clove gum has been freshening breath since the prohibition era and is still going strong.
These classic chewing gums are oh so hard to find, so don't pass up this chance to brighten somebody's day with fond memories, or introduce a new generation to some of the simplest pleasures from times gone by. Snooze, you lose.....

"I've just had my bathroom tiled with these tiles. They are white with a small shimmery silver/grey mosaic detail on them. They look fabulous! They were easy for the tiler to put up. They make the room look bright and clean with just a hint of detail. One word of advice, 3 of the 12 packs I picked up were a different batch (I didn't realise tiles had batch numbers) and those tiles were 3mm longer than the others! good job the tiler noticed or the lines would have been out when he used them"
"Bought these for our new shower enclosure. Although they are basically white, with the mosaic effect pattern, you get different shades of white according to the light and what angle you look at them. They look quite classy and I would highly recommend them."

The 6 Weirdest Things Women Do to Their Vaginas
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
What's wrong with your vagina? If you answered "nothing," you're probably wrong. According to the beauty-industrial complex, it's ugly, and it smells bad. But don't worry-- there's nothing that money can't fix.
1. Problem: Your Vagina Smells Bad
Solution: Vaginal Deodorant
In the seventies, Massengill tried to marry feminism and its vaginal deodorant spray ("With Hexachlorophene") in an ad that declared the product to be "The Freedom Spray." It was "...the better way to be free to enjoy being a woman. Free from worry about external vaginal odor." Because you're going to need that time you used to spend worrying about your vaginal odor to flirt your way through the glass ceiling. Oh, and Hexachlorophene? It's a disinfectant that can be lethal when absorbed through the skin. In 1972, it was added to baby powder in France due to a manufacturing error and killed thirty-six children.
In case you think vaginal deodorant is a relic of the past, just take a trip to the drug store. (I did, and I took notes. The staff of my local Walgreens is convinced that I'm both very thorough and that my vagina smells really bad.) There are several kinds of vaginal deodorants still for sale (Walgreens even manufactures a generic version). You can buy scented vaginal suppositories called Norforms in Island Escape and Summer's Eve Deodorant Spray in Island Splash. (Norforms contain something called Benzethonium chloride, which is also used as a hard surface disinfectant for fruit and classified as a poison in Switzerland. Exotic!) And you can buy FDS (Feminine, Discreet, Sensual) Spray ("For the woman who cares.") in a myriad of scents including Sheer Tropics and Fresh Island Breeze.
Because if you really cared, you'd make your vagina smell like a poisonous island.
2. Problem: Your Vagina is Dirty
Solution: Douching
Douching, the act of forcing a mixture of fluids up into the vagina with a tube and pump, was first promoted as a form of birth control (it doesn't work) and has continued to be used for vaguely medical reasons: to prevent STIs (sexually transmitted infections), to clean the vagina after menstruation and, of course, to rid it of that disgusting vagina smell. Douching has been repeatedly discouraged by the medical community, which not only doesn't attribute any health benefits to the act, but believes that it can actually harm women. A government Web site run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services discourages douching by answering a series of hypothetical questions, one of which is: "My vagina has a terrible odor, can douching help?" The answer: No. Get thee to a doctor.
Despite health concerns, manufacturers still churn out vaginal douches. Pick up a box of Summer's Eve Douche, and you'll find warnings that douching has been associated with PID (Pelvic Inflamatory Disease), ectopic pregnancy and infertility. Right next to the suggestion that women douche after their menstrual period, after using contraceptive jellies and creams and to "clear out any vaginal secretions." So basically, any time your vagina isn't as dry as a British sitcom.
3. Problem: Your Vagina is Too Loose
Solution: Vaginal Rejuvenation
Let's face it. Nature really screwed up when it made the vagina. Never mind that that it accommodates the birth of a child or that it's fundamentally better designed than male genitalia. (Who wants to carry their most sensitive reproductive organs on the outside?) While nature was busy dishing out things like multiple orgasms, it forgot to make vaginas vice-tight. Luckily, plastic surgeons have stepped in to put an end to womankind's collective suffering.
Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation is a trademarked phrase that refers to a practice developed and popularized by Dr. David Matlock, who's made several appearances on the E! channel's plastic surgery reality show, Dr.90210. Matlock and other doctors who carry out LVR claim that the $4,000 to $20,000 procedure makes women's vaginas tighter, thus increasing sexual pleasure.
But many doctors disagree. The American Urogynocology Society won't endorse it. And the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists cautioned in a 2007 statement that women seeking "designer vaginas" should be "informed about the lack of data supporting the efficacy of these procedures and their potential complications, including infection, altered sensation, dyspareunia, adhesions, and scarring." Sexy!
4. Problem: Your Vagina is Ugly
Solution: Labiaplasty
If your vagina is tight enough (and let's face it, it's probably not) you've still got to deal with the labia. And by "deal with," I mean remove. Labiaplasty drastically reduces the labia, the protruding lips that surround the opening of the vagina. Why would you want to do this? Because your labia are "unequal," "elongated," "large," "irregular," "floppy," and "unfeminine." These are just some of the unflattering adjectives bandied about on the Web sites of surgeons who offer this procedure. Luckily, with the use of lasers and scalpels, your vagina can be made "prettier," "better proportioned," "youthful," and achieve "the true Playboy aesthetic look." How much will it cost you to make your labia proportional and feminine? About $5,000 or more.

Ferry System Sets Course to Convert To LNG Fuel
By Tom Banse
The nation's biggest ferry system is setting a course to convert some of its fleet from diesel to natural gas propulsion. This month, Washington State Ferries formally asked the U.S. Coast Guard to review the proposed changeover. This is another example of fleet operators in the Northwest taking a hard look at cheaper fuel.
After three years of study, the Wash. State Department of Transportation has determined it is technically and financially feasible to convert six mid-sized car ferries to run on cleaner burning liquefied natural gas. Assistant secretary David Moseley told lawmakers that moving away from diesel could save 40-50% at today's pricing.
David Moseley: "One reason for looking at this is cost... Can we reduce the cost of our fastest growing operating expense? And secondly, can we reduce the amount of emissions that we put into the environment."
State budget documents project annual fuel savings of $1.1 million per vessel. That yields a payback period of around 12 years on an estimated cost of $12-15 million per ferry to convert to LNG fuel.

Washington is not alone on this. BC Ferries is leaning toward natural gas fuel for three new ferries it is about to order. And earlier this year, the freight line TOTE commissioned designs for the LNG conversion of two cargo ships that sail between Tacoma and Alaska.
With U.S. Coast Guard approval and funding from the state legislature, Washington State Ferries could begin converting its first ferry to LNG propulsion in 2016. The six car ferries WSF has identified as most suitable for conversion are the M/V Issaquah, M/V Kittitas, M/V Chelan, M/V Kitsap, M/V Cathlamet and M/V Sealth. The Issaquah Class ferries carry 124 cars, except for the Sealth which has a 90-car capacity.

Jesse Jarnow has a favorite rock band. Its name is Yo La Tengo. Jarnow has seen the Hoboken, N.J., trio perform 70 or 80 times and, as if it needs to be said, owns all its records — more than 20 — often in both digital and vinyl form. It's a deep admiration traced to Jarnow's early days as a New York City music writer, when he was assigned a feature on the band for the magazine Signal to Noise. While studying Yo La Tengo's brand of layered rock, which veers from lilting beauty to chaotic squall, often in the same album, he found a deep, personal appreciation.
"It just seemed very real," Jarnow said. "It had an atmospheric quality that drew me in and an emotional part that kept me there."
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
In the New York rock circles both he and the band frequent, Jarnow struck up a friendly relationship with Yo La Tengo, mostly small talk at shows.
So when Jarnow persuaded his favorite band to let him write their biography and connect the dots behind some of his favorite songs, it would amount to being the kid in the candy store who drove himself after getting the keys to the hot rod. Right?
Not quite. "Big Day Coming: Yo La Tengo and the Rise of Indie Rock" is a narrative crammed with minutiae, and it would delight any fan of the 30-year-old band. But Jarnow's opportunity to tell his heroes' story was equal parts joy and frustration.
The joy is obvious: Jarnow spent more than a year interviewing the band, including about 15 go-rounds with singer and guitarist Ira Kaplan. He hung out during practice sessions. He listened to 500 hours of live Yo La Tengo recordings, interviewed the band's friends, family and fellow musicians, and read virtually every word Kaplan wrote during a brief career as a rock journalist in the late '70s and early '80s.
"There was definitely the thought, 'Wow, I have this window to ask all this dorky stuff,'" Jarnow said. "I frequently thought of the Saturday Night Live episode where William Shatner was at a Star Trek convention and someone would ask, 'In this one episode, what was the combination on the safe?'"
But writing about some of his musical heroes — and people he likes, admires and respects — presented challenges tangled up in music writing.
As Bruce Springsteen said in a July profile in The New Yorker, "For an adult, the world is constantly trying to clamp down on itself. Routine, responsibility, decay of institutions, corruption: this is all the world closing in. Music, when it's really great, pries that shit back open and lets people back in, it lets light in, and air in, and energy in, and sends people home with that and sends me back to the hotel with it. People carry that with them sometimes for a very long period of time."
Try putting that into book form.
And so it was, to a degree, with Jarnow and Yo La Tengo. His first mission wasn't reporting — it was protecting his own fandom.
"I wanted to seal it off in a vault," he said. "I didn't want to dig into the band so deeply that it affected how I felt about the music."
Most biography subjects are scrubbed to uncomfortable degrees, no historical sliver left untouched. In a much ballyhooed reporting coup for a biography of President Barack Obama, David Maraniss tracked down the journal entries of the president's former girlfriend. Though Kaplan and his wife, drummer Georgia Hubley, are not quite worth the scrutiny of a sitting president, they are known to be reticent with the press, and, in many ways, they were with Jarnow, too. For instance, they weren't interested in discussing their college years.
"I had heard a story about Ira being in a band in college, and he didn't want to talk about it," Jarnow said. "He was elusive about it, and it didn't seem that important. I'm not writing 'The Power Broker' or an expose about Ira to prove anything awful. I kind of let it go."
In a Wall Street Journal review, music journalist Michael Azerrad wrote that Yo La Tengo's history is "hardly the stuff of ripping yarns: There is no antagonist to speak of, no drama, no outrageous personalities, no sex, no drugs and not even any rock 'n' roll in its swaggering sense."
More active participation from the band could have been key to balancing the lack of those classic rock tropes, but Azerrad, in his review, noted that it wasn't there. He wrote:
"One way around the eternal conundrum of writing about music is to paint the players so vividly that the music they make is almost palpable. Apparently, that wasn't an option here — Ms. Hubley and Mr. Kaplan, a married couple, are famously reserved, 'protecting something too rare and precious to share on command,' says Mr. Jarnow. And so all Mr. Jarnow can say about the love songs on 2000's 'And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out' is that they were 'perhaps literally autobiographical, perhaps not.' But this is a biography; we expect an answer. What is it like to be a married couple in a band, which is part creative enterprise and part business? What is it like to be the third band member (bassist James McNew) when the other two are husband and wife? We don't really find out."
Instead, Jarnow fleshes out the book with the growth of the modern independent rock that grew up along side Yo La Tengo: legendary Jersey City, N.J. radio station WFMU, independent record label Matador Records and Hoboken, N.J., rock club Maxwell's. There is also ample name dropping of the bands whose careers grew up around Yo La Tengo's (McNew went to college with members of Pavement — who knew?). That broader scope helped convince the band to participate with Jarnow's project. But it also frustrated the music journalist in Jarnow, who ideally would have answered the questions Azerrad raises.

Here's how the playoffs look coming into the final week of the season, with explanations about tiebreakers, etc.
Region 1: Southeast Bulloch travels to Appling County in a game that could determine the regular-season championship. If Appling wins, the Pirates are the regular-season champions and Southeast will finish third. If Southeast wins, there will be a three-way tie that includes Pierce County. All three teams will be declared co-champions and a coin flip would determine the seeds.
The fourth playoff spot should go to the winner of the game between Tattnall County and Johnson Savannah. But Brantley County could tie things up if it upsets Pierce County.
Region 2: Carver Columbus and Peach County will finish one-two. Pike County is third and Henry County is fourth.
Region 3: Washington County's season is over and the Golden Hawks are the regular-season champions. Thomson is in the playoffs and would be the No. 2 team with a win over Jefferson County on Friday. A win would also put Jefferson County in the playoffs. Swainsboro, winners of two straight, will make the playoffs with a win at Dodge County.
Region 4: Callaway and Central Carroll are one-two. Chapel Hill is in the playoffs and will be No. 3 with a win over Jackson Atlanta. But if Jackson wins, the Lasers are No. 3 and Chapel Hill falls to No. 4.
If Jackson loses and B.E.S.T. Academy beats Douglass, then B.E.S.T. would take the final spot because of its regular-season win over Jackson. Chapel Hill would prevail in the tiebreaker with B.E.S.T. because of its head-to-head win.
Region 5: The winner of this week's game between Cartersville and Ringgold will be the region champion and the loser will finish No. 2. Adairsville will be the No. 3 team.
Sonoraville will take the fourth spot if it beats Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe. An LFO win would likely mean a three-way tie for fourth, should North Murray beat winless Gordon Central. That could result in the ever-popular mini-games.
Region 6: This is so confusing and has way too many variables, but all hinges on the game between Blessed Trinity and Cedar Grove, which is the 5 p.m. game at Halford Stadium, and the Decatur at St. Pius game.
If Blessed Trinity wins, the Titans will be the No. 1 team and Woodward Academy will be No. 2. (The two will be tied with one region loss, but BT gets the edge because it beat the War Eagles 27-17 on Sept. 27.)
If Blessed Trinity wins and St. Pius wins, the standings would be: BT, Woodward, St. Pius and Cedar Grove. Decatur would be out.
If Blessed Trinity wins and Decatur wins, the standings would be: BT, Woodward, Decatur and St. Pius. Cedar Grove would lose a tiebreaker with St. Pius.
If Cedar Grove wins and Decatur wins, the standings would be: Woodward, Cedar Grove, Decatur, Blessed Trinity. St. Pius would be out.
The most confusing scenario occurs if Cedar Grove wins and St. Pius wins. Woodward would be the region champion, with Cedar Grove, St. Pius and Blessed Trinity tied for second. Those three teams are all 1-1 against each other and therefore tied. No one has been able to provide the answer for this scenario, but it will be updated once received.
Region 7: Buford can win the region championship if it beats North Hall on Friday. If North Hall wins the game, it would cause a three-way tie with White County.
The tiebreaker is a "plus-12/minus-12" system. If North Hall beats Buford by 12 or more, it is the region champion because all its region wins were by more than 12 points. White County had two region teams they beat by less than 12 points. If North Hall beats Buford by less than 12, then the Trojans would be the third seed behind Buford and White County.
The final playoff spot will be determined by the winner of the West Hall-Dawson County game.
Region 8: Elbert County will be No. 1. The second seed will be determined by Friday's Hart County-North Oconee game, with the loser finishing third. The final spot will go to the winner of the Morgan County-Jackson County game.

If BEST wins and Maynard Jackson wins then there will be mini games between the three because that would give all three team the same region record and according to the white book overall records don't factor in equation. If BEST and Chapel Hill win then Chapel Hill is 3rd and BEST is 4th. BEST won the regular season matchup with Jackson.
Currently the standings are
1.Callaway 6-0 / 8-1
2.Central 6-1 / 8-2
3. Chapel Hill 4-2 / 4-4
4. BEST Academy 3-3 / 5-4
5. Jackson 3-3 / 5-4

Decatur takes care of St Pius with their own very tough ground game. St. Pius hasn't stopped a good RB yet this year. See Lovett,Woodward,BT and even in a win of N Occonee ! Decatur wins by 5 in a tight game. Sorry Pius you will sit these playoffs on the sidelines.

Wow-NDLD- Based on your statement SPX has been blown out every game. Having been at all of those games that is not my recollection. Since NO has the TOP RB in AAA, and they were down by 20+ at the half I guess Kwon was playing without cleats.
See you Friday night and if you are coming to SPX, please park at our offsite and use our free shuttle service. It really is the best and quickest parking option. Our shuttle picks up across from the Mariott Century BLVD. IT starts round 5:30 and runs continuously throughout the game.
Should be a great game.

I am a proud fan of the B..E.S.T. Academy football team. To be competing for a chance to get in the state playoff in only their second year of competing in high school football is a hugh accomplishment. First senior class is graduating this year. Hard worrk is paying off, still a young team, I am looking forward to a bright future for this upcoming BEST program!!!

The Wolves held Cartersville to 24 yards of total offense in the second half, intercepted three passes and recorded four sacks. Two of the interceptions set up touchdowns that turned the early deficit into a 14-10 lead. Buford, which finished with a 317-194 advantage in total offense, was led by Dontravious Wilson's 84 yards rushing on 20 carries.

@Chan. Stats dont always tell the whole story. Nevertheless, I do give Burford credit. You cannot make mistakes against good team in the playoffs especially a team as discipline as Buford. Hopefully we'll see yall again this season. I wish yall well so that oppotunity is possible. CANES!!!!

Many Porsche lovers may not have been all that excited about the German auto manufacturer's decision to produce the brand's first SUV, the Cayenne , but these same people just about screamed when they heard that Porsche was also developing a smaller version of the Cayenne, the Cajun . Sorry to say, but they can't all be911s , guys. No matter how much we all want them to be.
Still, we're playing along with the whole Porsche SUV thing because well, as much as we don't want to admit it, the idea of a speedy people hauler is appealing. And to satisfy this innate need to go fast during "our" time and still be able to transport the kids safely, Porsche is bringing out the Cajun sometime in 2013. This crossover-type model will be based loosely on the Audi Q5, utilizing its chassis, steering, axles, and Quattro drivetrain. It will be powered by a 3.0L V6 engine producing 290hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, which is just enough for some, but we may need to opt for the Cajun Turbo S which will get a twin turbo 3.0L V6 with 350hp.
Porsche's goal with the Cajun is to provide an efficient and sporty model that will be all the things we want in a car: lightweight, easy to handle, and agile. It will come out first as a four-seater, but a model set to seat five should debut at a later date.
It may not be a 911, but at least it's not as confused as the Panamera . Don't even get us started on that model.

Abbotts Lagoon Coastal Dune Restoration Project
Dune Restoration in the Seashore
Project Construction Began in 2011
After more than a decade of planning, in February 2011, the Seashore began its largest dune restoration project to date to remove up to 120 acres of non-native invasive European beachgrass (Ammophila arenaria) and iceplant (Carpobrotus spp.) from a 255-acre area just south of Abbott's Lagoon (Map 359 KB PDF). The Abbott's Lagoon Coastal Dune Restoration Project is restoring natural dune processes and function to a system that is home to at least 11 threatened and endangered, but whose ecological value has been severely imperiled by the rapid spread of species once planted to stabilize dunes for adjacent development. In fact, the rapid spread of beachgrass, which now dominates almost two-thirds of the Seashore's 1,700 acres of dunes, may have brought two federally listed species to the brink of extinction within the park (See background information below).
Construction of Phase I began in February 2011 and extended into August 2011. The Seashore provided extensive environmental monitoring during the restoration project to ensure that impacts to valuable natural resources such as snowy plover, California red-legged frog, Myrtle's silverspot butterfly, Tidestrom's lupine, beach layia, and many other native dune plant and animal species are minimized to the maximum extent possible (See What Did We Do to Protect Sensitive Resources? for more details). Part of project planning involved disseminating information to the public so that park visitors and residents know what to expect during construction. This included postings on trailhead signs for temporary closures of beach areas directly adjacent to construction activities.
Construction of Phase I of the Abbott's Lagoon Coastal Dune Restoration Project included the following components:
However, while successful, mechanical removal of European beachgrass and iceplant was also highly expensive ($25,000 to $30,000/acre) due to the depth of excavation required (from 6 to 9 feet) to bury rhizome and biomass-contaminated material with a sufficient "cap" of clean sand (3 feet), so that buried materials could not resprout readily. In fact, cost was the reason that only approximately 80 of the 120 acres were restored during Phase I.
The Seashore wanted to build upon these ecologically successful dune restoration efforts, by expanding restoration southward, but NPS managers realized that a more cost-effective methods would be required if dune restoration efforts were to continue. In 2011, the Seashore researched methods used by other agencies and organizations. Many of these projects have used a combination of fire and herbicide to successfully treat these invasive species. In fact, the mixture of glyphosate with imazapyr has been particularly successful in treating almost 80 to 90% of the European beachgrass with as little as one to three treatments, resulting ultimately in much lower total amount of herbicide applied.
To develop the best methods for cost-effectively treating European beachgrass in the park, the Seashore decided to do an experimental study using one of the other alternatives evaluated in the EA. After receiving the necessary permits, the park treated some of the remaining unrestored areas using backpacks with spot application of herbicide. This project--Phase II--was implemented in fall 2011, and monitoring indicates that more than 99% of the beachgrass was eradicated after only one treatment, while adjacent native plants such as coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) and mock heather (Ericameria ericoides) were either not affected or quickly rebounded. A number of plants have been observed growing in treated areas, including yarrow (Achillea milleflora), bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum), seaside daisy (Erigeron glaucus), and bush lupine (Lupinus arboreus). Remaining plants were re-treated in 2012 prior to and after the plover nesting season by either hand removal or spot herbicide application.
In 2012, some additional unrestored areas were treated, using information provided by the 2011 study (Phase III). In addition, some of the Phase II areas were mowed once any follow-up treatment had been finished to determine whether biomass removal improves and/or speeds up colonization by native dune plant species: European beachgrass decomposes very slowly. Other methods used by state parks for reducing beachgrass biomass--and improving herbicide efficacy--include controlled burning of plots prior to herbicide treatment, but that was not included as part of this experimental project due to the fact that more recent restoration efforts showed that treatment could be just as effective without burning. Additional monitoring and re-treatment, if necessary, will be conducted in 2013.
Since restoration, the park has been conducted some small-scale revegetation experiments to try and determine whether the restoration process can be "jump-started." Revegetation included both plots where seeds were sown, as well as transplanting of American dunegrass (Leymus mollis) into foredune areas. Many of the seed plots were lost during high spring winds (more discussion below), but the transplants have persisted. Park staff will be implementing a new revegetation study in 2012-2013 using a different approach to sowing seeds, as well as continuing with transplantation of American dunegrass.
The park is also conducting pre- and post-restoration monitoring to evaluate restoration effectiveness in restoring native dune vegetation communities, natural dune processes and topography, and habitat quality for endangered species such as Tidestrom's lupine, beach layia, Western snowy plover, and Myrtle's silverspot butterfly. In addition, the park hopes to see increases in the numbers of these species, both within the Project Area and within the park.
So, what have we observed in terms of how successful restoration has been so far?

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
Sixteen-year-old Sarah Noone and her friend Adam Pratt made a YouTube video all in hopes of getting the legislature's attention.
Their goal: to change how sex education is currently taught in the classroom.
"It was shocking. I really didn't think that it would still be there," said Sarah.
Right now, the manual provided to teachers states "homosexuality is not a lifestyle acceptable to the general public and that homosexual conduct is a criminal offense."
"I think that the law really has a negative effect on the LGBT youth," Noone said. "By having it in law, even if it is not something that every teacher follows, you are telling every queer student in the state that they are not valid."
Within the past month Sarah and Adam have started a petition to help shed light on the issue. They had a goal to gather 5,000 signatures and have already surpassed that number by the tens of thousands.
On top of that they have the backing on Representative Patricia Todd.
"What she wants to do it remove that homophobic statement from law," said Noone.
She hopes the signatures on the petition will speak volumes and said, "I think getting their attention like that should be helpful."
Representative Todd was unable to be reached for comment on when she plans to take this change to the capital.
So far Noone and Pratt have received more than 80,000 signatures both from people in Alabama and across the states.
If you would like to learn more about their stance you can find information at http://www.change.org/petitions/alabama-state-legislators-repeal-law-forcing-schools-to-teach-that-being-gay-is-criminal.

ready when I return home.
"Add tortillas, cornbread muffins or rolls and you have a very good meal."
