This scoop it profile by @Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) includes many useful blogs and articles that aim to teach in the 21st century. This includes learning with the use of technology. What he refers to as the 'iGeneration' includes many useful updates that can be used for both the students and teachers in the classroom. A few i came across that sparked my interest were a description on how to set up a blog with wordpress for teachers, this can be very useful to me as a student now and also in the future.

The tax payers are suffering to improve their business and life. The following points may be taken in account to solve all the world challenges and disbute.Proposal to the United Nations relating to International Peace and Security to authorize Under Article 96(2) of the Charter of the United Nations. Hello,Our research report is in conformity with Under Article 1(1) and 7 of the Charter of United Nations and the same maybe authorized by the General Assembly of the United Nations in accordance with U/A 96(2) of the present Charter and U/A 2(2), 5(1),6(2),11(2),13(1), 15(1) (a) (c), 16(2) (a),(b),& 18 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights on the basis of U/A 33(1), 55(c), 70, 71,73(a) of the present Charter and accordingly the research paper ought to have been debated with Vatican, World Churches Council, Commission of Churches on International Affairs, Jewish Foundation, Islamic Supreme Councils , researchers of UN and all the International bodies for the following reasons:"Reporting of world peace solutions between Christians,Jews and Muslims in the worldWe are here with attached our research report towards international peace and security for perusal and considerationsSince we are the independent and voluntary researchers with out dependency of finance either from the government or any other agency, on the reasons that we are following Social Justice and Common Goods - Policy Paper of World Council of Churches and also By-laws of the Commission of the Churches on international affairs. Our researchers mainly follow the principles and rules laid down by the above important policy and rules.Under Articles 2.4, 3.6, 3.10&11, 8.1(b) of the By-laws of the Commission of the Churches on international affairs, we have posted our research report in United Nations Global Compact which containing of solving of problems between Christians, Jews, Muslims and Hindus in the world. In accordance with Articles 3.12 of the above By-Laws, it is a duty of commission of Churches to maintain and provide for the maintenance of contacts with International bodies such as the United Nations and its agencies include regional bodies and other non governmental Organisations, which will assist in the attainment of the aims of the Commission. The matter has being brought it to the notice of the World Churches Council and the Commission of the Churches asked its notice on the matter to the United Nations for your appropriate decisions. ?The World Churches Council Policy Paper on Social Justice and Common Goods is the best policy to the World peace and unity solutions, which has been published on 22 March 2011 and the same is in accordance with Psalm 85. The Church cannot succeed if it, isolates itself, Not only must Christians reach out to Muslims and other faiths in the spirit of ecumenism, but there is a need to embrace other people of different philosophical convictions. This requires ideological tolerance, maturity and self assurance in what one believes in. Such coalition building is made easier by choosing issues that unite organizations and movements and which have less potential causing divisions. At the same time we need an honest and inventive method of dealing with differences. The global movement for economic justice relies considerably on policy analysis and research conducted by hundreds if not thousands of academics researchers and scholars. ?Our consequences of the changing power relations in today's world is that there is more room in the public sphere for the affirmation of collective values and principles, experience proves that an informed public opinion can be powerful today, and can change governments public and international agendas. Again Churches are challenged to make use of this opportunity. They need to read the signs of time and to make their voices heard by responding to peoples cries for justice and dignity, and by speaking truth to the powers- whoever and wherever their may be. ?Christians do not have ready made answers and solutions to propose. The Bible offers guidelines (love, sharing, justice for the poor) but does not defined one "Christian" economy or "Christian" politics. ?Churches and Church related organizations can initiate public debates and largely use media means to reach a broader constituency, furthermore, regional thematic discussions can be facilitated with the ecumenical family. WCC should develop specific analysis depending on the context. ?What are theological implications for commodification common goods? ?How shall we ensure the participation all people in managing common goods in the world? ?How do we deal with power imbalances in the world? ?How can the ecumenical family engage itself effectively and in a coherent and convincing way in addressing global power imbalance? ?How can WCC lead a climate change campaign with social justice as a focus? ?What kind of collective values can be draw for the Churches to guide them in addressing the problem of commodification of common goods? ?The above questions have been answered in our research materials available at http://www.goldenduas.com and alsohttp://www.facebook.com/research of international development solutions and the same are to be discussed by the Churches, public and all its organizations in the interest of public safety, peace, unity, health, wealth, faith, interfaith ? Under this circumstances, it is just and necessary that UK, USA, Cambridge, Churches on the International Affairs are requested to accept our research paper and also our research organization as an organization under other faith category to assist the commission to achieve its goal of International Peace and climate changes solutions for the benefit of world community especially Christians, Jewish and Muslims, under the by-law 3.11 of CCIA. In view of the aforementioned submissions in the interest of maintenance of International Peace and Security, UN may be pleased to authorize our organization in the name and style of` Research on International Development Solutions `and also our research report in confirmatory with U/A 96 of the present Charter read with U/A 23 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and thus render Justice. Now, Palestine Muslims are fighting with Israel , both countries are affected and innocent people are killed frequently which is against the Quranic verses 7:137 & 5:33 that no one can claim Israel Government areas which is a place of Israel People but not Muslim or Christian and they can only Allow worship in the Holy Places of Israel . These facts has not been Discussed for amicable solutions of social justice and common good by United Nations to respect Gods word . It is pertinent to note that why the jewish people are affecting the Muslims is mention the Quran 7:167 ? And the same should be taken into consideration

The season doesnt start for another four months. The Dolphins self-confidence already is operating at a championship level.
Team leaders have turned heads this spring with a string of bold proclamations. At a community appearance Tuesday morning, they didnt back down.
• Mike Pouncey, on whether this is a playoff team: I think so. I think it takes a lot of chemistry, takes a lot of hard work, on and off the field, in the film room. We have the right pieces. I believe were going to do some great things this year.
• Brian Hartline, on whether the Dolphins have the best group of receivers in the AFC East: On paper, we do. If not, whos better in the AFC East than us, on paper? I dont think anybodys better than us.
• Even Ryan Tannehill, usually one of the teams most cautious players, said this team has what it takes to make the postseason. (We all realize we have a long way to go, he said.)
A disclaimer: Its May, when bold words and 99 cents are enough to buy a greasy burger.
But the confidence raises eyebrows for two reasons: 1. The Dolphins havent had a winning season since 2008; and 2. Joe Philbin appreciates trash talk about as much as interceptions thrown into triple coverage.
Like it or not, expectations for the 2013 season which includes six games against playoff teams now have been raised. But in truth, that happened when the Dolphins dangled tens of millions of dollars in guarantees in front of a slew of big-name free agents.
Mostly all of the new pieces were in attendance Tuesday at an event promoting youth fitness, a party with local elementary school kids that was as much about giving back as it was team-building.
We did this by design early in the offseason program to get [the rookies] acclimated to what we think is important, Philbin said. Obviously, playing well on the field is important, being a good citizen is important as well.
Learning each others names is a good start.
Thats what this part of the year is for, Dolphins guard Richie Incognito said. New faces, new guys, coming together as one. This is when the foundation is laid, in the offseason.
The Dolphins are a month into their offseason workout program. They can go through individual drills, but contact is prohibited. Organized team activities begin next week, and the teams mandatory minicamp is in late June.
They will use that time improving timing and chemistry. Theyre trying to create a cohesive team from a group of 90 players about half of whom played elsewhere in 2012. Miami will have at least eight new starters this fall, with competition at every position, save for quarterback and defensive tackle.
Success isnt guaranteed, even with the spending spree. There is a long list of teams that opened the purse strings in free agency, only to falter when the games began to count. The Washington Redskins, with just one playoff win in the past 13 years, could build an entire wing to house their offseason championship trophies. Baseballs Los Angeles Angels put together an All-Star team, but have been putrid.
Theres plenty of time, Hartline said. In the NFL, you learn new offenses in a year. You learn new playbooks basically every week. Having four or five months is plenty of time.
Cornerback Brent Grimes, recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, said hes feeling good and has not been limited in the offseason workouts. The former Atlanta Falcon wouldnt put a percentage on his health, but said hes being smart in his rehab.
• Charles Clay, who underwent surgery for an injured meniscus on Dec. 26, was cleared to work fully a couple of weeks ago.
Im good and ready to go, the third-year tight end said.
• The Dolphins signed the first of their draft picks Tuesday, announcing deals with rookies Jelani Jenkins, Caleb Sturgis and Don Jones. Six draft picks remain unsigned, including No. 3 overall selection Dion Jordan.
• The NFL announced the starting times for all preseason games Tuesday. The Dolphins will kick off at 8 p.m. in the Hall of Fame Game against the Cowboys on Aug. 4 and their Aug. 17 visit to Houston. Exhibition games against the Jaguars (Aug. 9), Buccaneers (Aug.24) and Saints (Aug. 29) will begin at 7:30 p.m.

The Best and Worst of the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards
Best vocal return to the Homeland
Speaking of accents, Damien Lewis brought his as he accepted the award for Best Actor in a TV Drama for Homeland, dedicating the award to his Mum. That's "Mum" and not "Mom" because it's different somehow. Homeland then went on to win the award for Best TV Drama, beating the likes of Breaking Bad (surprising) and The Newsroom (unsurprising). Swiftly following suit, fellow Brit Adele accepted the award for Best Original Song for Skyfall and "fanked" the foreign press in her trademark Sawf-East Landaaaan accent.

Cancer Genetics
Area of interest
A central goal of cancer pharmacogenomics is the prediction of drug toxicity based on a patient?s genetic profile, preferably assayed using a widely available and inexpensive genetic test that can be performed on an easily obtainable biological sample, such as peripheral blood. However, many of the reported examples in the cancer harmacogenomics literature are confounded by a lack of statistical power and a paucity of biological plausibility. Furthermore, while single-gene pharmacogenetic studies of highly penetrant genes are promising, response and toxicity to most chemotherapy agents are likely complex multigenic traits representing a complex interplay among multiple polymorphic genes and environmental factors. Genetic mapping studies of complex, multigenic traits like drug response in humans are difficult to conduct and require identification of relevant patient populations for both discovery and replication. This introduces further practical issues, as the sample size required to uncover a region of interest from a genome-wide scan of unrelated individuals is far beyond that normally encountered in human clinical trials. Consequently, in order to more fully understand the genetic basis of drug response, preclinical genome-wide approaches devoid of a priori assumptions are needed to gain broader knowledge of the genetic basis of chemotherapy. I have focused on using mouse models to further these goals.

It seems in today's economic climate, lawmakers will try anything to generate income for their state, and that includes taxing sneaker purchases.That's what one Illinois lawmaker is proposing, according to an article posted at Stltoday.com.The report says Illinois State Representative Will Davis wants to add 25 cents to every sneaker purchase to raise money for a youth job program in the state. He says the tax would bring in an estimated $3 million.The proposal is not a shoe-in. The merchants association in Illinois says they will fight the proposal.Special taxes on products in the state are not new. Illinois residents have been paying a $2.50 fee on tire purchases for years, says the report.What do you think? Post your comments on our FOX 5 Atlanta Facebook page, or tweet us @GoodDayAtlanta.

Bought yosemite ski jacket...very good quality and well pleased. one dislike...all pockets are velcro closing...a real pain...velcro always wants to grip preventing easy entry. you have to tug open the pocket every time you use it. my didricksons coat is much better in this respect.
otherwise i would have given it 5 stars
February 27, 2014
Just what is needed. hobby: photography. warmth and dryness in all weather conditions, plus excellent pockets ( 9 counting the sleeve, ) from memory cards to filters and lenses. can think of a lot more applications for this jacket than just skiing

Thousands of people from around the area gathered at Thompson Park Saturday morning for the Autism in Action 5k and walk to help raise awareness for the disorder.
One in 88 children are now being identified on the Autism Spectrum, what some are calling an "autism epidemic". That's why proceeds from Saturday morning's walk will benefit the Amarillo Area Autism in Action, a group that promotes education and research for children with autism, in addition to kids with other disabilities in the Amarillo area.
"This is the big party, it's our 3rd Annual Autism Awareness Walk and our First Annual 1-in-88 5K run," said Autism Awareness Walk Chairperson Karen Day. "And new re[reports from the CDC show that the numbers can range from as many as one in 88 to one in 50 children who may be on the Autism Spectrum."
Day also said when they started this event three years ago, about 250 people were involved, but it's grown to the more than 1,000 people that turned out Saturday, the largest turnout they've had so far.

10."Man Up Anthem" (The Reach Records relay pass)
"Man Up" makes the list because it's the only song containing every artist Reach Records has ever signed. The warrior chant served as a sort of baton pass from the accomplished Reach veterans to the sure-handed "new school" stable of artists. The creative collage of 7 different styles, was an effectively clear anthem for a call towards authentic Biblical manhood. "Man Up" became the soundtrack for music, a movie and the movement of a legion of goldly men.

A strong new addition from Panerai, albiet an expensive one. Their new US $215,000 ceramic tourbillon GMT pocket watch is an outstanding timepiece to behold. At 59mm the black ceramic case is set against a chain that is as important as the watch itself. Super good, yet well out of reach for most.

Wanda, I would like to say that what I have put up is theory based on what notes I have and study of census and other based materials.
Can I say for fact?, can I walk directly to her grave? NO! Only based on the theory and likelihood.
I noted that on the memorial. I just don't want our forebears to go down in history, without at the very least leaving a few clues to their existance. Maybe future generations will pick up the cause but until then this is how I can contribute.
Whoever wants to accept it fine and whoever does not its just as fine to me.
I am glad to have met you all, even in theory... C

We are working on the family line and it is thought that David and John's Fathers name was John. We also are working on the idea that Ewell was a brother of theirs and possibly a James Roper.
I still am studying the censuses of Ropers in Tennessee right now. It is said that Elizabeth came with David to MO when they left TN.
I don't know why she changed her mind to go with John and Nancy to Pulaski/Wright Co. MO.....

David Roper and Elizabeth Roper nearest, but also not far John Roper.
Also the fact that David's first daughter was Elizabeth.

LiveEngland v Costa Rica - as it happened
This live event has finished
- Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw become the first serving Saints players to start a World Cup game for England together
- Lallana played for 61 minutes, Shaw the entire 90
- England draw 0-0 with Costa Rica
- Gaston Ramirez comes off bench to create crucial goal as Uruguay get through and knock out Italy
- Luis Suarez suspected bite on Chiellini steals the headlines
Well what an amazing start to the evening.
Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw make history for Saints as England round off their World Cup campaign with a goalless draw against Costa Rica.
Gaston Ramirez comes off the bench to deliver the corner that Diego Godin heads in to keep Uruguay in the World Cup and knock out Italy.
With Lallana, Shaw and Dejan Lovren heading home after failing to get out of the group stages, Ramirez joins Morgan Schneiderlin in making it through.
Later tonight we will find out if Maya Yoshida can join them.
That's the end of the blog but keep checking back on dailyecho.co.uk for reports and reaction to all this evening's events
Suarez does look to have bitten Italian defender Chiellini. Amazing end in that game.
Best of all is that as the Italian defender attempts to show the referee the bit mark on his shoulder, Gaston Ramirez is chasing after him trying to cover it up!
Not now. Uruguay are through. Ramirez one of the heroes.
Italy are out
Still playing in the Uruguay game
Costa Rica are keeping possession and running the clock down here.
They haven't looked hugely over keen all evening
Apparently Suarez has just bitten an Italian player
It was Gaston Ramirez who provided the cross for Uruguay's goal just three minutes after coming on!
Wow. Ramirez might be staying in the World Cup.
Godin has given Uruguay the lead and as it stands they are going to knock Italy out.
What odds on England and Italy being the teams eliminated from this group before the tournament began?
Another good run down the left from Shaw but he can't quite find the cross
On 78 minutes Gaston Ramirez gets on the field for Uruguay.
Can he be the hero?
Rooney tries a cheeky chip from 20 yards out that the keeper tips over
Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney are both introduced from the bench as Roy Hodgson tries to get England a first win of the tournament
Uruguay have made another change but still no Gaston Ramirez and still no goal for them against Italy
Adam Lallana did himself no harm but probably was a little subdued due to the fact that has been England's performance today. Here is battling with Bryan Ruiz before he was taken off...
Good interplay between Wilshere and Sturridge but the England man misses the target again
Claudio Marchisio has been sent off for Italy. What a chance for Uruguay to get the win they need. Will we see Gaston Ramirez make his World Cup bow?
Adam Lallana is off on 62 minutes for Raheem Sterling
Lallana goes in the book after a foul on Ruiz
Shaw's right footed shot is deflected to Sturridge but a heavy first touch allows the keeper to get out to his feet to save
Luke Shaw looking to get forward again down the left. Exciting stuff when he makes those runs and he needs to be fouled to be stopped this time
There has been a half time change for Uruguay as they seek to break the deadlock against Italy but it's not Gaston Ramirez who has come on
The second half is underway
It's not been a classic.
Given that Costa Rica have already qualified and are not playing at full throttle you have to say it's a slight improvement but not blown away
Good chance for Daniel Sturridge goes begging.
Ross Barkley with a deep corner, Phil Jones at the far post heads back across goal but Sturridge on the stretch for it heads over
Lallana on the spin gets to the byline and tries to stand up a cross but it's deflected behind for a corner
Milner and Lallana have swapped wings but it hasn't had a positive impact for England
Sturridge goes down in the area but no penalty despite heated appeals from England
You've got to love this picture of Luke Shaw in action...
Lallana just about manages to squeeze the ball across the box but it just eludes Wilshere
Foster makes a superb save to turn a curling 20 yard free kick from Celso Borges onto the bar
It's not exactly been a classic so far.
Little urgency from Costa Rica who have already qualified. England have looked bright in spells but few chances created thus far
It's still goalless in the game between Uruguay and Italy as well which means as it stands Gaston Ramirez will be exiting the World Cup
Adam Lallana in action for England tonight...
Daniel Sturridge has a crack from 20 yards but it goes wide
Shaw trying to get forward down the left. Nice and positive
First left sided link up between Shaw and Lallana who are left back and left attacking winger in a 4-3-3 but it comes to nothing
Joel Campbell's shot takes a big defelction and Ben Foster is rooted as it goes just wide.
More stunning work from a FIFA official as they somehow give a goal kick
Good tackle from Adam Lallana after ten seconds. Nice start
The game is underway
Adam Lallana having a good old sing of the national anthem. Luke Shaw seemed rather less certain
The Costa Rica anthem is a very cheery little ditty
The teams are out on the pitch and lining up for the national anthems.
What a moment for Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw
Those who like a little more depth to their teamsheets should take a look at this...
And this afternoon's tactical line-up #CRC #ENG http://t.co/iKqs6j0V5R— @jamiebradbury 24 June 2014
We have been hoping to bring you some photos of Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw warming up but our friends at the Press Association have thus far only managed to file one photo of a topless and out of shape male England fan and this! Hopefully they will notice there is a match on soon!
Great stat from Saints that puts it all into context...
Just 561 days on from his first start for #SaintsFC, @LukeShaw3 is about to make his competitive @england debut. http://t.co/nh19xpSnPR— @SouthamptonFC 24 June 2014

Good luck to @LukeShaw3 and Adz tonight, first World Cup start!! Well deserved. #ENG 👏⚽— @HarrisonReed 24 June 2014
Michael Owen feels England must rediscover the mentality needed to compete at the highest level as Roy Hodgson's men look to learn the lessons from the early exit out of the World Cup.
England take on Costa Rica in their final Group D match on Tuesday evening having seen any hopes of staying in Brazil ended after disappointing defeats to first Italy in Manaus and then Uruguay in Sao Paolo, where Liverpool forward Luis Suarez scored a brace.
The post-mortem into just where England went wrong has already started, from dissecting defensive shortcomings to the claims there are just not enough world-class players to pick from any more.
Owen, who scored a memorable individual World Cup goal against Argentina at France '98 and won 89 caps, believes it is all about focus when pulling on an England shirt.
"It is difficult playing for England, it always has been and always will be, but you need a lot of ability to play at the top level and a certain mentality to go with it, and obviously we are falling a bit short at the moment," said Owen.
"However, you can't just switch it on and off, you almost have to be born with it and have developed it."
England: Foster, Cahill, Shaw, Smalling, Jones, Wilshere, Lampard, Milner, Lallana, Barkley, Sturridge.
Costa Rica: Navas, Gonzalez, Borges, Duarte, Campbell, Ruiz, Brenes, Diaz, Gamboa, Tejeda, Miller.

.@england team to face Costa Rica #CRC #ENG http://t.co/bz9XZ93aCl— @england 24 June 2014
Roy Hodgson turned to youth as he looked to end England's dismal World Cup campaign with at least a tiny bit of hope in Belo Horizonte.
With England already out of the competition after successive defeats, Hodgson decided to make nine changes to his starting XI for the dead rubber against Costa Rica at the Estadio Mineirao.
The England manager stuck with the line-up he named on the eve of that match, which meant Ross Barkley and Luke Shaw were handed their first competitive starts for England.
Shaw, who came in for Leighton Baines, became the youngest player to appear for England at a World Cup since Michael Owen in France '98.
In goal, Ben Foster started his first competitive game for England in five years.
England's back four of Shaw, Chris Smalling, Gary Cahill and Phil Jones had 50 caps between them.
Frank Lampard was named captain on his 106th, and possibly final, appearance in an England shirt.
Jack Wilshere partnered Barkley in the centre of midfield, with James Milner and Adam Lallana operating on the flanks.
Daniel Sturridge made his third start of the World Cup up front.
It was a youthful side with an average age of 25 years old.
England, who lost their first two matches against Italy and Uruguay, fly home straight after today's game.
The teams are in for Uruguay's must win game against Italy and Gaston Ramirez is again on the bench.
He has been an unused sub in the previous two games as well.
On the subject of Luke Shaw, the Daily Echo understands that despite Manchester United's interest in the 18-year-old left back they have not at this time tabled a £34m for the youngster as has been rumoured.
It will be a busy day for Saints stars at the World Cup.
Gaston Ramirez's Uruguay will also be in action at the same time as England.
Their fixture against Italy is decisive in terms of deciding who qualifies for the knock out stages from Group D along with Costa Rica.
Later on this evening Maya Yoshida and his Japan teammates take on Colombia looking for a positive result to get through Group C.
Hello and welcome to the Daily Echo's live coverage of this evening's World Cup Group D match between England and Costa Rica.
Roy Hodgson's side may have already been eliminated from the tournament but there is plenty of excitement in Southampton as Saints academy products Luke Shaw and
Adam Lallana will both be starting in Belo Horizonte.
What an amazing opportunity for them to shine on the biggest stage of all and prove they are very much the future of English football.

Nevada is running ads now. Being on the border and my radio coming from Reno, I'm hearing it all. Mittens, and his establishment "Reach across the Aisle'ers" GOP lackeys, are running LIE ads about Newt. Newt on the other hand is playing ads using Mittens own words. It really pisses Mittens off. Every establishment Republican in the area is supporting Mittens, but they have been losing standing for the last 4 years. They use the caucus system and it got ugly the last time in 2008. I'll keep you posted.

I think Romney is going to win Florida. A lot of people have already voted, either by absentee ballot or early voting.
I'll be voting for Santorum tomorrow, and then for whoever is the GOP candidate in November. One thing I do know...I won't be voting for Obama.

Pulp Fiction in Chronological Order
Think back to the first time you saw Pulp Fiction, you may have had a slight problem following the nonlinear storyline. It's memorable for its eclectic dialogue, and ironic mix of humor and violence, but it's also one of those films that you probably wanted to watch a 2nd time to really put the sequence together in your head. There have been video versions put together in the past of the film in sequence (although the good one has been castrated by YouTube) including this two-minute version :

Evening Primrose
By Tori Hudson, ND
Q: I've read a lot of conflicting information about evening primrose oil. I see that many women use it for hot flashes, but it looks as if it's being used to treat other problems as well. Also, does it contain estrogen? If so, should I be concerned about taking it, since my mother had breast cancer?
A: First, evening primrose oil does not contain estrogen, nor does it stimulate estrogenic effects in the breast. In fact, the gamma linoleic acid in the evening primrose oil decreases the breast's sensitivity to estrogen.
Second, it's best known as a treatment for fibrocystic breast disease. In more than one study, it alleviated pain and tenderness related to cyclic breast pain and fibrocystic breasts. In my own practice, I've noticed it can sometimes help relieve premenstrual headaches, irritability, and bloating. It does not do much to reduce hot flashes.
Finally, I often recommend using primrose oil supplements to treat menstrual cramps and pelvic pain due to endometriosis. I also urge women to take evening primrose oil to help preserve bone health, because it can improve calcium absorption. Other uses include treating eczema, diabetic neuropathy, and rheumatoid arthritis. Certainly it can't hurt to see if it works—the oil is very safe and can be used long term without worry.

Residential Trash Collection - Your Guide to Quality Service
The City of Owensboro uses cost saving automated trash collection trucks. Your drivers begin their routes at 6:00 a.m. and automatically collect up to 900 mobile carts per day. The system is a "pay as you throw" design, where those who produce more trash pay more for collections.
Mobile Carts
The automated system uses specially designed mobile carts. These carts are the property of the City of Owensboro and must be left at the property when residents move. Carts damaged or lost through neglect must be replaced by the resident; carts damaged through normal wear and tear are replaced at no charge. Additional carts may be rented at $4.00 monthly.
Collection Schedule
Review the service map below to determine your collection day. Service is provided the same day every week. If the following holidays fall on a weekday, then there will be no collection on that day. That days collection and the remaining days collections for the week will be delayed one day. This will result in a Saturday collection day for Friday routes:
- News Years
- Memorial Day
- Thanksgiving
- Independence Day
- Labor Day
- Christmas
Basic Service
Your $12.00 monthly fee includes cart rental and weekly collection of one full mobile cart (with the lid closed - no extra trash).
Advanced Service
Should you find that one mobile cart is not sufficient for your trash needs, you might consider:
- Owensboro Recycles! Save room in your mobile cart by recycling at the 1401 W. 7th St Drop-Off Recycling Site.
- Rental of a second cart: Additional carts may be rented for $4.00 per month. Contact us for delivery.
- Purchase overflow bags. Bags may be purchased at City Hall for $2.50. Drivers will stop to collect these bags only when placed near the mobile cart.
- One time collection of large loads: If your trash needs exceed what can be placed in a cart (couches, refrigerators, etc.), see our Bulky Collection & Special Loads section for help.
Guide to Quality Service
Our automated collection system saves labor cost by allowing the driver alone to collect your trash. One driver can collect up to 900 households in one day! Please follow these guidelines to ensure quality service. Once drivers have passed through your neighborhood they cannot return to collect late or improperly set-out trash. Return collections are expensive in fuel, labor and maintenance cost and are a burden to those customers who set their trash out properly.
- Have trash curbside by 6:00 a.m. Once drivers pass through your neighborhood, they cannot return for late set-outs.
- All trash must be contained inside the mobile cart and the lid must be closed for automatic collection.
- Do not block the cart with cars, fences, trees or poles. Automatic collection requires 4 ft. of clearance all around.
- Face cart towards the street (see arrows on top of your cart).
Prohibited Items
In order to ensure the safety of our workers, and to protect the environment through proper landfill dumping, some items are prohibited from residential trash collection:
- Grass and/or lawn clippings
- Ammunition
- Gas-fuel cylinders
- Hazardous chemicals or poisons
- Liquids of any kind
- Oil, fuel of any kind, or any flammable liquids
- Paint: Contents must be completely dry for collection
- Tires: Bring to Transfer Station (there will be a charge)
- Aggregate materials such as: concrete, asphalt, dirt, rocks, bricks, etc.

Publication: TheDay.com
When Brittany Connors found out part of the way through last season that St. Bernard School softball coach Jeff Mauri was thinking of retiring, that gave Connors time to think.
"I would look at it like, 'What would I do if I was coaching?'" said Connors, Mauri's assistant on a team which finished its season in the Class S state championship game. "Then we did really well."
Connors, who pitched in a state championship game herself in 2007, her senior year at Waterford High School, has always known that after her playing career was over she wanted to coach.
This spring, Connors found herself digging up rocks and pulling weeds to get the St. Bernard softball field ready for an opening day game against Stonington. All part of the "glamour" of being the head coach.
Connors, 23, whose dad Don is one of her assistant coaches, couldn't be happier.
"I've always, since I was little, wanted to teach. The next step was always to coach. I love working with kids," said Connors, who graduated from Western Connecticut State in 2011 with a degree in health education and is a substitute teacher in the Waterford and Old Saybrook school systems.
This week Connors won her first career game, as the Saints defeated Windham 8-2 on Wednesday. St. Bernard picked up a win Friday against Tourtellotte, too, and is 2-5.
"I am so proud of her for who she is and all she has to offer her girls," Waterford coach Liz Sutman, who coached Connors, said earlier in the week. "They are so lucky to have someone so invested in them and in their success as ballplayers and young women.
"She was a hard-working player and this will be the first of many wins for her in her career."
Connors, for her part, was thinking of a scouting mission to a Waterford game. Just to watch Sutman coach.
"Not that I took it for granted when I played for her, but I don't think I realized until now," Connors said. "She's my idol. ... I need to get to the level she's at. I want to keep learning from her."
And of coaching along with her dad, who always coached her and her sisters in youth leagues in Waterford?
"He's so helpful. But our roles have changed," Connors said with a smile. "I'm coach Connors now."

KSP collaborates on award-winning projects
Date of News Release: 05/04/2006
(FRANKFORT, KY) - A collaborative effort by the Kentucky State Police (KSP), the Commonwealth Office of Technology (COT) and the Center for Rural Development (CRD) has resulted in the selection of the trio for a Development Award during the 2006 Kentucky Digital Government Summit held Apr. 25 in Lexington.
The award for Best IT (Information Technology) Among Organizations was presented to Deputy Secretary of Justice Cleve Gambill for the collaboration of the agencies in creating the Kentucky Wireless Information Network (K-WIN) to help law enforcement officials statewide obtain critical criminal justice data in real time.
In the category of Best Application Serving the Public, KSP Commissioner Mark Miller accepted another award on behalf of his agency and COT for the enhanced Kentucky Sex Offender Registry. The revised website allows direct and immediate access to public alerts and offender information through a single query.
The Kentucky Wireless Information Network provides a statewide, collaborative network to facilitate wireless data communication and interoperability among agencies, both large and small, across Kentucky. The system involves the mounting of antennae on 150 base stations throughout the state whose towers are owned by the state of Kentucky, Kentucky Educational Television (KET), Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), local agencies and other entities. The widespread coverage allows wireless access for all law enforcement agencies in the state without any financial outlay from them.
Maj. Brad Bates, chief information officer, KSP Technical Services Division, said KSP was responsible for constructing a high capacity mobile message switch into which the various agencies can tap. Law enforcement agencies intending to access the mobile switch system must purchase compatible vehicle hardware and mobile software, but the system avoids the need for thousands of dollars spent on multiple switches across the state.
"Once officers have been trained and the paperwork approved, officers can be granted mobile access to the Law Information Network of Kentucky (LINK) as well as the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) data bases directly from their vehicles," said Bates. "This direct connection will save time and enhance officer safety."
Prior to implementation of the K-WIN project, law enforcement officers were limited to radio and cell phone communication through their local dispatch center - a time-consuming activity.
Bates said approximately 300 KSP troopers and 70 local law enforcement agencies are using the system, which is also available to fire and emergency medical agencies. He added that 439 law enforcement agencies comprising nearly 8,000 officers could use the system in the future.
KSP Commissioner Miller praised the cooperation among the agencies in devising and implementing K-WIN.
"This collaboration of KSP, CRD and COT is worthy of recognition and the implications of the program for law enforcement in the state will be vast," Miller said. "The primary beneficiary of the wireless system is the officer who can quickly access critical information. Ultimately, however, it is the citizen who benefits because the officer can more efficiently respond to situations to ensure public safety and the dispatcher will be granted more time to handle other emergency calls."
This is the first year the Best of Kentucky Technology Awards have been included in the Summit, which is in its sixth year. The winners were chosen for their efforts to improve the lives of Kentucky's citizens and businesses through technology.

See the best that Vilnus has to offer. During the Vilnius City Sightseeing Tour you will see the following places of interest: Gediminas Avenue until you reach the Parliament.
Walk the ancient streets of Vilnius old town, where Lithuanian Jewish history can be traced back to the 14th century. The classic Lithuanian Jew (Litvak) is known in folklore for a love of education, no-nonsense straight-talk and certain sardonic wit.
Kaunas is the second largest city in Lithuania and lies within 100 kilometers of Vilnius. It is situated at the confluence of the rivers Nemunas and Neris. Kaunas is charming not only for its historical buildings, green parks, but it is well known for its museums, counted over twenty with all their branches.

2010 VFR1200F, the long-awaited follow-up to the previous Interceptor.
The CBR250R is about as economical as motorcycles come, with a totally attainable price and incredible gas mileage.
Quarter-liter motorcycles have long been viewed as beginner bikes, but with budgets tightening and gas prices rising, more and more people are turning to 250s as affordable, efficient, and fun transportation.
In some ways, the choice actually comes down more to who you are, because Honda, with effectively one new bike, has produced models that suit a variety of needs and tastes. Moreover, with these 500s, Honda is bringing new levels of quality and sophistication to the entry-level market.

30 people hurt when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed at a San Francisco airport earlier this month filed a petition for discovery Monday against Boeing, the Chicago-based maker of the airline involved in the crash.
The Boeing 777 was carrying 307 passengers and crew members when it crashed July 6 while attempting to land at San Francisco International Airport. Three people were killed and 182 other people were hurt.
The petitioners -- including one U.S. national and 29 residents of China, four of whom are minors -- filed the petition Monday in Cook County Circuit Court.
They are asking Boeing to produce all documents identifying anyone who owned or leased the aircraft, as well as maintenance records for work performed on the plane during the time it was operated by Asiana Airlines.
The court document also asks Boeing to identify the manufacturers and designers of many of the plane's components, including the altimeter, autopilot software, auto throttle and evacuation slides, among others.
It also seeks records on any instructor who trained the pilots on the operations of the Boeing 777 model aircraft, as well as the names of any Boeing customer service or field service representatives assigned to plane that crashed.
Boeing previously said it sent a technical team to assist the National Transportation Safety Board as it investigates the crash.
The company did not immediately return a call seeking comment on the petition.

Amy Butler Design
Please go to our new link for Amy Butler.
Can't remember where we found Amy Butler, but clicking through to her website is like a opening up the windows on a sunny day.
Bright, colorful, poppy fabric designs will make you smile as they work their way across pillows, bags and books.
Of course, we're interested in the pillows and the straight ahead fabric.
Based in Granville, Ohio, Amy has successfully separated herself from all of our NYC trends and aims for the "intimate." She collect vintage fabrics and they are definitely an influence, but her colors and her composition are totally contemporary.
Her site features pics of her studio along with an online store and links to see all of her fabrics, sewing patterns, books and stationary. Not surprisingly, some of her stuff is also available at Purl in SoHo.
5 Comments
Don't forget her phenomenal book, Found Style. It really shows how to mix flea market finds with mid century modern and contemporary in such a beautiful way.
really happy to see that she's selling products as well as the cloth. her design is fabulous, she hits the right note of pretty but not kitschy.
I love her stuff--I got her newest book for Christmas with all the patterns in it. Her fabric, though, is verging on stupidly expensive (at least for my budget), selling around $34CDN locally. I have to satisfy myself with the thought that drooling is free...
Kate, look for fat quarters. It's enough to make pillows out of, depending on how many you get. I keep finding them in a quilt shop in NYC.
Big fan of Amy's work. Her colour palette and prints work well with casual settings. For more upscale or formal settings, cushions from judyrosstextiles.com and leilare.com are fabulous. The former basically has crewel worked cushions and Leila Re's collection is on silks with embroidery. Enjoy!

Darius Rucker is headed to Las Vegas for the ACM Awards this coming weekend, and there's a chance you'll find him at a roulette wheel at one of the casinos while he's in town.
Darius says, "Roulette's a fun game, especially if you're just playing the colors, and if you hit a number one time, you feel like you're on top of the world. I mean it pays 36 to one. That's pretty amazing."
There is one big drawback to playing roulette for Darius.
"You can lose fast, and I don't like losing fast," he explains. "I don't mind losing. I just don't want to lose fast."
Darius could be a big winner at the ACM Awards though. He's up for Single and Vocal Event of the Year with Lady Antebellum for "Wagon Wheel." The 49th Annual ACM Awards are Sunday, April 6 at 8 p.m. ET on CBS.
