Just how valuable is the 40-yard dash when Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy and all the rest of the 31 National Football League teams' coaches and personnel men evaluate each of the athletes participating in this weekend's NFL Combine in Indianapolis?
Well, if you ask Steve Shoup of fanspeak.com, it's about as valuable at times as using NFL Network's Rich Eisen's 40 time to make a decision on your first round pick.
Well, maybe not that drastic, but Shoup makes a good argument and illustrates it below in the beautiful infographic he has so graciously shared with lombardiave.com. His argument that while there have been stars who have run sub-4.4 40s, there have also been plenty of duds in the draft who have been fast, but that speed hasn't translated well onto the NFL field.
He said that it is the split times that should be monitored most when determining the value of a 40 for a running back, defensive back, wide receiver or even a linebacker. For instance, if there is one player who runs a fast split in the first 20 being evaluated against another player at the same position who runs a better split in the final 20 yards, then it will be up to the individual team evaluators to decide who would be the better fit for their particular scheme.
In addition, Shoup says, trying to use the 40 to evaluate defensive and offensive linemen is simply a joke. When are you ever going to see these guys running a flat out 40 during an NFL game? Never. So using the 40 to evaluate these guys is nothing short of silly.
The same goes, he says, for quarterbacks. While it's great that guys like Colin Kaepernick run a great 40, but their job, first and foremost, is to play the position of quarterback. Speed isn't really a crucial factor for NFL quarterbacks, even in these days of the pistol.
So, take a look at Shoup's infographic below and judge for yourself and keep this information in mind as you watch player after player line up for the starter's signal this weekend.

A Study on Amnesia
Surprise, surprise. Hollywood is wrong 98% of the time when it comes to Amnesia. Here is a post explaining what this syndrome is. What for? Well, in case you ever need to write, or show off your immense irrelevant knowledge on obscure subjects.
This is an attempt at a tutorial (or walkthrough) that might help you with ideas on how blend a picture into a background (or: how to intergrate a picture so your graphic looks like a coherent whole).
I assume you know how to cut out images and how to paste them on a background and how to use blend modes. If anything isn't clear, please leave a message in my inbox and I'll try to help you!

England's worst state schools are no longer concentrated in big cities, either. Of the ten best-performing local authorities in Britain, seven are now in London. In Tower Hamlets, a largely Bangladeshi borough in the East End, children entitled to free school meals because of poverty do as well in GCSEs, the exams taken at 16, as do all children in England as a whole. Small post-industrial cities like Hull and Portsmouth fare badly. But so do many rural spots. Between 2005 and 2012 many of the local authorities falling into the bottom 50 by GCSE results were rural areas like Dorset, Herefordshire, Somerset and Suffolk. Most of the areas that climbed out of that sad group were cities or parts of cities.
The number of girls under the age of 18 getting pregnant has been falling rapidly in most parts. But here, too, the trend is uneven. In Southwark, an inner-London borough, the conception rate for girls under 18 has fallen by 64%. In West Devon, by contrast, the rate of pregnancies to girls under the age of 18 has actually increased in recent years—as it has in several of its neighbouring local authorities. In 1998 its rate was three-fifths of the national average. Now it is slightly above it.

The National University of Singapore (NUS) was named No. 1 out of 300 universities, according to the latest Quacquarelli Symonds Rankings, which polled more than 50,00 people, many of them academics and employers from around Asia.
NUS moved up from second place last year to dislodge The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, which fell to fifth place.
Several other universities in Southeast Asia also improved their rankings, underscoring the growing development and heft of a region of more than 600 million people on its way to becoming a single economic community starting in 2015.
Nine of the top 10 universities in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations "either maintained or improved their positions in this year's rankings, which shows that the region as a whole is on an upward trajectory," Ben Sowter, head of research for the QS ranking, said in a statement accompanying its release.
Within Asean's 10 member countries, there are 6,500 institutes of higher learning with 12 million students enrolled.
Singapore was the only one that saw its universities place among the top 10. In addition to NUS taking the top spot, Nanyang Technological University jumped to 7th place from 10th last year.
However, Mr. Sowter said other educational institutions in Southeast Asia could improve their standards as regional collaboration and exchange programs strengthen through the Asean Economic Community – the single market envisioned for the region.
Asean includes some of the world's fastest growing economies outside China and Mr. Sowter said university education will play a critical role in supporting the growth of the region and sustaining economic integration.
The QS rankings were based on responses to a number of questions related to academic reputation, employer reputation, student/faculty ratio and student exchange, among others.
Vital Passage of The South China Sea
Between 2008 and 2013 the annual number of murders in Britain's three biggest urban police forces—the London Metropolitan Police, Greater Manchester and the West Midlands—declined by 34%. In the rest of the country, murder fell by just 7%. Burglaries have plummeted in inner London but have increased in some suburbs. Towns such as Brentwood, just east of London, have been hit by a wave of thefts by people who flee via motorways, thinks Louise McKinlay, leader of the borough council.
Drug-running gangs are increasingly building bases outside London, reckons detective superintendent Kath Barnes, of Hampshire Police. She runs "Operation Fortress", a unit set up in 2012 to tackle organised crime following a spate of violence in Southampton, a city on the south coast of England. More oddly, last month guns including an AK47 assault rifle and an Uzi sub-machine gun were allegedly found at the home of a parish councillor in a Suffolk village.

Thursday, January 9, 2014
Green Party councillor Maya de Souza has hinted that she will throw her hat into the ring in the battle to become Hampstead and Kilburn's next MP.
The Ham&High understands that Cllr de Souza will step down as Camden's only Green councillor in May's council elections having served two terms since May 2006.
The Highgate councillor remained tight-lipped about her future when contacted for a comment but did not rule out a parliamentary election bid in the 2015 general election.
She said: "I have not expressed an interest in standing for Hampstead and Kilburn but at this stage would not rule this out."
Ms de Souza's impending council departure is expected to be confirmed next Tuesday when Camden Green Party selects its candidates for May's elections.

Esquire Theme by Matthew Buchanan

It feels terrible to leave it behind but I feel there is largely no other choice. I feel paralyzed with the idea that this blog is so public and has such a history, and it's not conducive to a healthy environment (neither was what I wrote but really that's neither here nor there). I will leave it up so that I can always come back and look at it and be ashamed of myself (I've had it for three years and, in the beginning, it was literally just a diary so there's a lot of writing I don't want to lose, if only to embarrass myself later in life) but I will not be posting. I have a few things in the queue and I'm not sure if they'll be posting or not.
Tumblr really is, to make a pun, a utopia for me; this utopia, and we say here that we "are our urls" so I'm sad to see this one go. I named it thisutopia, originally, because I was literally in the middle of a history class and we were talking about literature. It's been with me for three years. Honestly it's like my name.
It feels especially awful because I follow about 700 blogs on here, the majority of which I am going to lose because like hell I am shuffling through all of that. And the fact that it took me three years to accumulate my measly 120 followers that I am now going to lose. Not to mention all the liked things and my tracked tags.
In any case, it's better to get a fresh start right? I am hesitant to give out the names of my new blogs as, though I have absolutely learned my lesson and will watch that what I post gives out no personal information or slander of my peers, I am, oddly enough, more comfortable with friends I have back home and, honestly, strangers on the internet following me than people I go to school with who are completely open to reading and shuffling through my things and never saying a word to my face even in friendly passing (as rampant as the issue of my blog has been, no one has come forward and said a word to me. It's just different when I have the capacity to see your face, you know?).
You'll find, when you're as deep into tumblr as I am, that people here are much more open to, well, everything, than people are in person. There's a sense of faceless comradeship here and I find that most of us don't want to break that seal. There's an idea of trust that you just don't get with the masses, even if you have them in classes or you pass them all the time at dinner. This is a community of people that want to be submerged in the things they like, things other people have made, even if that just happens in dumb text posts and gif sets, and it fosters a strange dynamic that has really become a major staple in my life. That's what tumblr means to me, and that's what I'm trying to seek out. My intention was never to hurt anyone; my intention, was to have a place where I could come and break down, but also heal with, just, you know, a deluge of things I like; music, movies, tv shows, art, writing, whatever. I've worked very hard to construct a place here that gives me that while keeping me informed and widening my world-view. That's hard to find anywhere else, and I think it's what makes tumblr so special.
However, in order to also foster a sense of trust among those who I do encounter everyday who might still be lurking around this blog (I mean I highly doubt there's anyone, it's been a week), I would like to invite you, whether you be a peer or a follower, to message me and I'll give you the name of my new blog. Be forewarned, it's a fan blog. You'd be better off following it if you like Avengers and Supernatural, among other things, and not my snarky, insulting text posts, as posts will still be snarky (I have inherent snark), but they will not be insulting, so far as I can conceivably manage (aka, I'm not a care bear, and I hold fast to the belief that not everyone deserves a hug. Prime example; Hitler). Also, if you were around for my crap poetry and writing, I have a blog for that too, now. But, with that, you should know that largely I only have pretty pictures and the writing of others on there; I will hardly be posting and it will be attempts (I guess) at contributing culturally. Basically I'm saying that if you were around for the "updates" and the insults, kindly leave me alone as that will not be a function of my tumbling any longer. Of course, this is public domain (has that ever been drilled into my head the past week) and you don't have to. I'm just suggesting. What's bothered me a lot about this situation, is that not only were those text posts public property, but so was all the blogging in between. That's just extremely embarrassing and inconvenient.
I would like to slip it in here that I assume that most people just popped around here by typing in the link, in which case I might suggest starting your own tumblr and you've only seen, proverbially, a glint on the surface of what it can do as a website. I realize this isn't the best introduction to it— nerdy, cruel kid suggesting it— but really; I like to think that reading has been one third of my education, school another, and tumblr the last. I've learned more here, and been more politically informed, than I have anywhere else. I've learned that there's a whale somewhere in the world that sings at a frequency that no other whales can hear, causing it to live out it's days in solitude. I've learned that, in reality, over 80% of Americans pay income tax, and that's been fact checked. I've learned that it's socially acceptable to call Mitt Romney mittens. I've discovered my favorite books, authors, cartoonists, and poets. I've found good friends, including an Israeli girl who I met when she was just starting her mandatory military service and a British girl who actually met Benedict Cumberbatch (I mean, we talk. We're basically acquaintances), which is a much larger global outlook than a Southern teenager (which I am) usually achieves. I've gotten a better self image and a better outlook on my life from this website by following fat-positive blogs and social justice blogs (though those get a little antsy sometimes). I've been introduced to countless things I love now, including Sherlock and Supernatural. There's a wealth of information and entertainment here that so little of our generation, or, for that matter, the world, knows about. We're not just a collection of screaming nerds, though we are, definitely, that too. We want to know things. We want to read and get excited about the God Particle and spread around scientific articles on tons of gallons of water suspended out in a galaxy in the far reaches of space (that's real, by the way). Yes, it will swallow your free time at first, but when you learn to balance it, it becomes a very magical place. I took that for granted, and here I am. So learn something, I suppose, is my message here.
In any case, I should REALLY be writing an essay on Plato right now, so I have to split.

There's a lot of violence in the news and tv about the Arab world's attacks on westerners because of some whack- o amature video movie. How did it get so public to them anyway? I can't imagine it was as widely shown to the world as the violence of what they are now doing in ransacking western establishments and killing occupants.
Westerners across the world are not reciprocating againt Muslims with the same kind of violence in their nations even though they are univerally immersed with tv news about Muslim attacks.
Some societies need to grow up and rein in their radical youth.

Bengals loss gets biggest TV ratings of season

About MeI've been writing about TV/media/radio for more than 20 years. I consider it the best beat in town, even better than covering the Reds. I grew up in Middletown, where I watched Cincinnati and Dayton TV. I don't have a formal education in broadcasting, like most TV viewers. After earning a journalism degree from Ohio University in 1975, I started at the Cincinnati Enquirer as a summer intern. I covered county government and the suburbs (including the arrival of cable TV), and later was the suburban editor and features section editor. In 1985, I returned to writing as TV critic. For many years, I attended TV press tours in Los Angeles to preview new fall shows and to visit TV studios. Some of my favorite stories are from going to the sets of "Seinfeld" "Raymond," "The West Wing," "Cheers," and "Star Trek: The Next Generation," and interviewing George Clooney, David Letterman and Jay Leno.

Inko's is a premium tea made with a very fine brew of white tea. If you've never had white tea, you're in for a real treat. The delicate flavor of the tea is excellent and very refreshing. In addition to the brew of tea, the product has a very mild sweetness as it is flavored with 7g of sugars (fructose crystals). Finally, they've added a very subtle amount of fresh ginger which gives the product a super light ginger finish. Overall, this product is truly refreshing and original. The only improvement we might suggest is a nicer bottle (preferably a proprietary bottle) that will help this product have the premium image that it deserves.

BARIEL Angel Of October-2014
|Â Your videos are very helpful and clear! Thank you for posting them. I find your work "real" and down-to-earth so when watching any of your videos (or reading your book)it feels like being with a friend. I ordered a crystal and some other items, and they felt "just for me". At the same time, I feel like I am taking a class in "Angel Guidance" and you are the best teacher!! I have been learning bits and pieces of metaphysical stuff for years but it is a unique set of qualities you have that I have chosen to trust for such a special process. Also, your book is very interesting and informative and, again, accessible rather than out-on-a-limb. Anyway, just wanted to send my thoughts and to thank you for everything, especially the care you take into putting together your orders. It is appreciated so much! I feel truly blessed.
Name: Okonji
thanks to God for his mercy, very inspirational! Thank you for all that you do for the good of mankind there is hope for mankind
Name: Diane
Hi Becky, I've been following you for a while, and I'm always happy whenever I see a new video has been posted. I think you are so genuine, and I love that you try to be as accessible to everyone as possible and don't feel the need to have some kind of gimmick to get your message across. You really lead with love and compassion, and I'm also appreciative of the fact that your compassion extends towards animals as well. With so many messengers online, I'm so glad I found you and look forward to more inspiration from you as I try to figure out what brings me the most joy -- which will then lead me to my life purpose. Â Â (I know I've been searching for my life purpose, but according to Abraham Hicks, I just need to figure out what makes me joyful, and that will lead me to my purpose. Based on your messages, I think you offer the same type of advice, so hopefully,I can just get out of my head...and just listen with my heart.
Thanks again for all you do. You really are an angel hear on earth!Â

Got this for my daughter's bathroom remodel. She had chosen an extra large hand-painted bowl. She wanted a faucet with a rustic look that would reach to the middle of the bowl, which was especially necessary for her 4 year old son to reach the water. This one worked perfectly.
The faucet is lovely. The pieces were loose in box, with styrofaom holder that they ought to have been in lyiing on top. Thankfully only a small amount of damage (the hot cap piece for handle had come out and was bent). The box was so badly put together-haphazardly so....the item had clearly been opened perhaps several times before. This was my first order from Overstock and while I am happy with the product, I am leery about ordering from them again if this is how they ship their products.
We are using this piece in a vanity for our powder room in new construction so we haven't actually used the faucet to see functionality but it looks great and appears to be made of good quality!!
The style is perfect for my half bath and I love the antique brass color. My plumber installed it easily.
This is an excellent antique brass faucet. The only cons are that the pieces were all loose in the box. Also, thankfully my husband is handy as the instructions were nearly impossible unless one has quite a bit of plumbling experience. Excellent value.

Definición de passage grave en inglés:
passage graveSaltos de línea: pas|sage grave
A prehistoric megalithic burial chamber of a type found chiefly in western Europe, with a passage leading to the exterior. Passage graves were originally covered by a mound, which in many cases has disappeared, and most date from the Neolithic period.

The Vipre is an all-tube, single-channel microphone preamplifier that precisely matches any microphone new or old with a choice of four different input-load impedances. Front panel controls may be used to vary the preamp's actual internal circuitry for different transient-response performance characteristics, ranging from the vintage microphone preamps of yesteryear all the way to the super-fast performance of modern, high-slew rate mic preamplifiers. The Vipre has a whopping 75 dB of total gain and flat frequency response from 7 to 100k Hz.
Vipre uses eight tubes for both the Class-A, fully balanced and complementary, differential amplifier and the Class-A, balanced, push-pull output stage. (Keeping the entire signal path balanced from input to the output dictates the use of expensive, multilayer rotary switches rather than cheaper pots.) All eight tubes are thermally insulated and shock-mounted. The entire unit is hand-assembled and wired using the finest components, switches and, of course, Groove Tubes. There are no solid-state devices, integrated circuits or electrolytic capacitors anywhere in the audio signal path. The cabinet and front panel are finished in matte black and feature large, custom-molded RCA vintage-style phenolic knobs and larger-size toggle switches. With its chrome rack handles, a giant old-school-style lighted VU meter and overbuilt heft (weight is 32 pounds), the Vipre is one impressive hombre!
The Vipre offers four input modes, accessible via the input selector knob. On the far-left side of the panel is an instrument input jack designed for direct recording of guitar, bass or synths. This input feeds a special high-impedance (47-kilohm) circuit centered around its own GT 6205 tube. I liked the fat sound of this direct path and now use it all the time. There is also a -20dB instrument input position for hotter levels, useful for synths or guitars with active electronics. The next mode/position is the fully balanced transformerless bridging input (12-kilohm impedance), which is closer to the input impedance of many modern preamps, followed by the main variable impedance input. Both of these modes use the rear panel XLR connector, and there is an additional rear panel TRS mic/line input that accepts levels 20 dB hotter than the XLR. If both the XLR and TRS jacks are active, then they will mix internally. (They enter the amplifier circuitry at different points.) Toggle switches engage a Phase Flip switch and a gentle, 4dB-per-octave highpass filter starting at 100 Hz.
The Impedance Selector knob selects among 300, 600, 1,200 and 2,400-ohm input impedances by switching between four different sets of primary windings of a specially designed input transformer. This very large "humbucking" transformer, which is manufactured by Tom Reinchenbach at CineMag, is encased in two mu-metal shielded cans and offers a technically correct way to alter input impedance by using different windings and not by just adding loading resistors.
My favorite controls on the Vipre are the two large, stepped Gain control knobs. The coarse Gain control is graduated in 5dB steps from 20 to 70 dB, and the fine Gain control adds or subtracts from the coarse setting in 1dB steps from -5 to +5 dB. In operation, I set my "ballpark" gain setting with the coarse control and then dialed in a final level in 1dB steps no audible pops or clicks when rotating either control. This method offers exact repeatability but does not allow gain riding for smooth changes in level while recording, because, to maintain fully balanced operation throughout, the Vipre has no output level pot.
Between the two Gain controls is a large, lighted VU meter. The RMS reading meter is augmented with two clip LEDs; a green LED lights up at -3 dB before clip and the red LED indicates full clip. The Vipre is capable of +30dBm (24.4-volts RMS or about 1 watt!) maximum output at the output XLR, but there is an additional ¼-inch TRS balanced output jack from a separate output transformer winding that is referenced to -10 dBv.
To the right of the meter is a unique feature, the VU Meter Range control. The Vipre has a meter driver circuit board for enhanced metering. At the 0VU Meter Range switch position and when the needle reads 0VU, the meter shows an actual +4dBm output level. Three more ranges "re-reference" 0VU on the meter to +10, +20 and +30dBm levels, respectively. These higher scales provide for accurate measurement when sending super-hot output levels to 24-bit digital systems without them, the meter would be pegged! Finally, the Expand VU mode broadens the range of the meter from a typical VU meter range of -20 to +3 dB up to a wider -60 to +13dB range. Expanded mode is great for wide dynamic range recordings such as vocals, Foley work and classical music, and makes it easy to "see" potential problems such as air conditioning or room rumble.
The Rise Time control sets the amplifier's rise time or slew rate. Five different settings range from the Slow position (about 0.75 volts per microsecond, a commonly used setting for vintage audio equipment) to Fast at 6 volts per second, a more typical spec for modern preamps. The net effect of such manipulation is a sort of control over the aggressiveness of the Vipre's sound. I found that percussion and similar sounds were clearer and (apparently) brighter on the Fast mode setting. Slow mode was better for sounds and vocals that tended toward the harsh, and effectively smoothed or rounded out edginess. In use, I found the in-between switch positions extremely subtle and wound up using only the two extremes, Slow and Fast.
The Vipre has a +48V phantom power on/off and the often-overlooked output Mute switch, a feature that is too rarely included in outboard mic preamps. The Vipre has two power switches. The manual states that, to prolong tube life, it is advisable to first power-up the unit with the Standby/B+ switch in standby while the B+ (high voltage) stays off until the filaments have warmed up properly. The manual also recommends that the Standby switch be used during session downtimes and that the Vipre should be powered down with the main Power switch at the end of the day.
While using the Vipre, I found that it was hard to read the front panel markings in the darkened control room. Groove Tubes explained that the initial front panel run came in with excessively dark silk-screening, and all future units will have the classic GT cream-colored marked panels, which are easy to see in any light. In fact, it doesn't really matter much, because the unit is so simple to use once you have selected source, impedance and rise time.
I also tested the Vipre by recording female vocals through a U67, M49, a B.L.U.E. Tube or a Shure KSM44. In each case, the impedance switching changed my opinions about each of these mics. In general, the vintage mics (including the B.L.U.E.) sounded fuller, louder and had more gain when the impedance switch was in the 300-ohm position. The newer Shure was happy at any position and sounded the best I have ever heard it. The effect of changing the rise time while recording vocals is subtle, but you can hear a little difference in the high frequencies. I usually selected the Slow position, as I was going for a "mellow" sound on one particular song. I also used a Tube-Tech CL-1B compressor after the Vipre when recording vocals and found that getting good, hot levels with as much (or as little) control as I needed was extremely easy. Because the Vipre allowed me to easily put a +10dB level or more into the compressor, off-mic dynamics sounded clear and focused.
Electric guitars shine well through the Vipre. I tried my Royer R-121 ribbons, and they were happy at 600 ohms and the Fast rise time position. Even SM57s sounded good, with a little more roundness than I usually get with other preamps.
On percussion, I used the Fast position and the transformerless input. Most of the time, I prefer to start out with very quick transients on percussive sounds as they have a tendency to get "sanded down" with successive processing. I liked that I could, with a flip of the switch, audition the transformerless against the variable impedance when the musician is on mic.
I recorded a direct bass and had some fun by deliberately overdriving the Vipre using about twice the amount of gain required. The +20dB meter range was useful here, because I had to reduce the output at my Pro Tools I/O input to come back down to a full 24-bit digital level. Overdriving the Vipre produces an extremely aggressive distortion reminiscent of those 1950s blues records where you can hear the singer occasionally blow up the mic and/or preamp.
The Vipre offers the engineer a whole new world of tube sound choices in a single, well-made, great-sounding unit. The culmination of over three years of work by Aspen Pittman and Groove Tubes' engineering staff, the Vipre is the epitome of vintage tube amplification perfected for these digital times. MSRP is $2,999.

Why Variable Impedance?
Aside from a resistive input level attenuator pad and a phantom power switch, a lot of microphone preamps give the recording engineer just a single control: gain. Essentially, there is no way to "customize" or match the microphone preamp to the particular microphone or other source. The preamp's input impedance is just fixed (internally) and is usually high enough that, electrically, it will work okay in most any situation. This seems odd, given the fact that music sources undergo their biggest and most important change in level at this first critical amplification stage. A condenser microphone's output level can require from 30 to 50 dB of gain (depending on the mic and singer) to raise it to a nominal +4dBm line-level ready for any further processing and subsequent recording. Today's 24-bit digital systems require even more amplification (gain), better dynamic range and lower noise, all factors that put even more importance on the microphone preamp.
Additionally, the same microphones sound different when used with different mic preamps. We all have our favorite mic pre/microphone combinations for specific recording tasks, and many engineers, producers and studios have amassed large and varied preamp collections over the years. Among microphones with similar topology Class-A preamps, it is mostly the effects of different input characteristics that we hear.
Early audio circuits were designed for maximum power transfer (called the Transfer Function) between units. Input and output impedances would be matched carefully for best efficiency and the most gain. Vintage condenser and ribbon microphones were designed to sound best when loaded or terminated by the specific load impedance of the mic preamp's front end transformer. Modern transformerless, solid-state microphone preamps (as well as most all modern audio gear) have from 10 to 20x higher input impedance than most sources plugged into them. These are called bridging inputs, and they present nearly no load to the microphone source and certainly do not present the load the microphone was originally optimized for.

City to offer health dept. plan Monday
Saturday, June 29, 2013 3:03 AM
By CHRIS HUNTER
Salina Journal
At a special meeting on Monday, Salina City Manager Jason Gage will present a proposal to Saline County commissioners concerning the Salina-Saline County Health Department.
"We have talked about presenting something to the county for a while," Gage said. "There have been a lot of perspectives shared at meetings, there has been some consensus, but neither side has officially presented a proposal to the other. We felt this was something we could do to tell the county what we feel about the health department."
The meeting will start at 1:30 p.m. in Room 107 of the City-County Building. It's open to the public.
Saline County Chairman Randy Duncan said he was interested to see the city's proposal, which the county will discuss Tuesday. Duncan said the rumor is the city wants to bulldoze the health department and build a two-story building on the same site.
"Everyone has ideas and I guess it will be interesting to see what this one is," Duncan said. "Is it further elaboration on the H.D. Lee Building proposal by (Salina Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO) Dennis Lauver or something entirely different?
"I'm as much in the dark as you and everyone else."
The health department's services were moved a year ago because of concern the roof could collapse on its building at 125 W. Elm. The department is now operating out of 625 E. North, the former REMA Bakeware building, and 148 N. Oakdale, the former Medaille Center. Salina Regional Health Center is providing those buildings rent-free.
A number of options
City and county commissioners have discussed a number of options, including repairing the former home or building new. City commissioners unanimously support a new building. County commissioners are split between purchasing another building or repairing the structure.
County commissioners have said the price to build a new, 22,000-square-foot health department range between $200 to $300 a square foot, or $4.4 million to $6.6 million. Health department officials said contractors have told them a new health department would cost between $100 to $150 a square foot, or $2.2 million to $3.3 million.
"Our numbers are closer in line with the health department's," City Commissioner Randall Hardy said at a meeting last week.
Gage declined to comment on the proposal ahead of the meeting.
Who will be there?
Duncan said he doesn't plan to attend.
"It is just going to be a press conference with Jason and the city commissioners," Duncan said. "It is their meeting and their press conference. They will hand out a proposal so we will have it. Staff will attend."
County Commissioner John Price said he might still be cutting wheat.
"I will probably go in to see what is going on," he said. "It was sure short notice."
County Commissioner Jim Gile said he will attend.

Guards 'Essential' to School Safety at Pennsylvania School
Guard proved worth in caring for student shot during gunfight
All are problems in Homewood. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. O'Connor visited Westinghouse after yesterday's shooting and attended a girls' basketball game -- Westinghouse versus Carrick -- there last night.
Police presence was doubled at last night's playoff game. Police cars patrolled the premises along with members of the Pittsburgh Street Response Unit.
"This isn't just a Westinghouse problem," said Mr. O' Connor. "This is societal problem. Why do kids have guns? And who is selling them to kids?"
"This isn't just my job," said Chief Fadzen. "This isn't just the superintendent's job and it isn't just Bob's job -- this is everybody's job."
The security guards and officers are represented by Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers. They make an effort to get to know students and gauge the emotional temperature of their building each day, said Chief Fadzen and Sherman Shrager, the union's vice president for middle schools and liaison to the district's human resources office.
Chief Fadzen said the district in recent years has increased its investment in other safety tools, such as new metal detectors.

Following a successful 14-month pilot in four police force areas, which provided more than 100 people with potentially life-saving information, the Clare's Law disclosure scheme will be rolled out nationally by the Home Office on Saturday 8th March 2014. Clare's Law, or the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, has two functions:
• 'right to ask' - this enables someone to ask the police about a partner's previous history of domestic violence or violent acts. A precedent for such a scheme exists with the Child Sex Offender Disclosure Scheme; and
• 'right to know' - police can proactively disclose information in prescribed circumstances.
Misuse of Pregabalin and Gabapentin
Street names: Bud and Bud Lite
It is acknowledged by clinicians specialising in substance misuse or working in prisons that pregabalin and gabapentin are highly sought medications because of their use in enhancing the effects of opiates and their own inherent abuse potential.
Pregabalin or Gabapentin abuse may be a risk factor for overdose particularly if used in combination with alcohol, opiates and other CNS depressant drugs.
There is increasing concern that GPs are now being targeted for these drugs in the community but that they are unaware of their illicit value. Urgent Care Cambridgeshire has reported concerns over the increase in requests for top-ups for these drugs out of hours.
Cambridgeshire DAAT launched it's two year strategy to raise awareness and reduce the harm linked to the use of Novel Psychoactive Substances (NPS) and Club Drugs within the county.
Cambridgeshire Safer Communities Partnership Team has produced the 1st edition of their e-newsletter to inform partners of what is happening in the drug & alcohol sector. Thank you to everyone that contributed to it.
Following National Alcohol Awareness Week during November, Cambridgeshire DAAT still has some resources available. If you would like to continue to raise awareness about the impact of alcohol use by displaying the posters and scratch-cards please contact us.

Posts tagged The Dark Knight Rises
10) The Dark Knight Rises - Arguably the most anticipated of the year, it's just about scraped in here. It was good, but not as good as I'd hoped. The more I think about it the more holes it has in it. Still though, some stunning set pieces and that ending, it deserves it's place here. Just.
9) Like Crazy - Only people on tumblr seem to have seen this film, but everyone should seek it out. A Blue Valentine-esque heartbreak story, it's the best romantic film I've seen in a while, a one grounded in realism and not solved by a dramatic big kiss.
8) Seven Psychopaths - This didn't exactly go the way I was expecting it to, but it's still as hilarious and odd as In Bruges. Farrell is decent as the 'normal' one and with excellent performances by Walken and Rockwell, it's another smaller film that you should see.
7) The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Jackson returns to Middle-Earth and this is one of the most entertaining films of the year. It didn't bore me once, despite the fact it's almost 3 hours long, which is a credit to Jackson. There are some scenes people would usually consider dull, but the charisma of the actors on screen make it work. See it in IMAX 3D for best results.
6) Dredd - Probably one of the more surprising films on my list, I thought it would be 'just another action film'. It wasn't. Gory, full throttle fun from start to finish, this is exactly what you need sometimes. It's not a particularly thought provoking film, but for an old school style shoot em up film, Dredd is the best this year.
5) ParaNorman - There's always one animated film on the list each year, this time ParaNorman takes the highest spot. Entertaining for adults, not just children, this gorgeous little stop-motion film is one of the best ways you can spent 90 minutes. Hopefully this will go down with Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride as a classic.
4) Skyfall - Bond returns with style. Aging, grizzled and rough, Daniel Craig gives one of the best performances as James Bond gets backstory, history and one of the best movie Villains since the Joker. Now making over $1bn, without the use of 3D, it deserves it. An instant classic.
3) Looper - Probably the coolest film of the year, with time travel, mild superpowers and Joseph Gordon-Levitt played a young Bruce Willis, this was badass. High concept and with a story that was fresh and original, it was a change to see a blend of action and brain in the same film. See it. Now.
2) The Grey - Another mainly overlooked film, this was incredible. Much more than just a Liam-Neeson-Punches-Wolves film, there was questions about life, death, family, loss, faith, nature and man all rolled into this story about a band of plane crash survivors against the elements, Beautiful cinematography, supporting characters that are fleshed out and an exhilarating and emotional performance from Neeson this is my most recommended film of the year. Watch it alone, and with a serious mindset and you'll thank me for it.
1) Avengers Assemble - Marvel's gamble, and the most innovative cinematic idea in decades, their concept of having their superheroes all existing in the same world came to fruition. The result? The most entertaining, highest grossing film of the year. Excitement, comedy, spectacle, performances, this film has almost everything. Sure, it's not a perfect film, but in terms of films living up to hype, and going further this hits the top of every list. I fucking loved it.
Honorable mentions go to The Cabin In The Woods (tied with TDKR,) 21 Jump Street, Warrior, Killing Them Softly, Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World, Silver Linings Playbook, Young Adult, Take Shelter, Jack Reacher and Shame.
This made me howl.
My dad knows me too well.
There was also a coat, which I like a lot, but I forgot to include it in this photo.
Anyway, he gets 10/10.
Absolutely love having a projector. Cinema in my room, I don't think I'll leave the house again this winter.
"Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man, before throwing him out of a plane!"
Got my projector working in my room.
Why hello there, home cinema.
Take note.

Submitter's Comment: Found this while scrolling. This girl is only 16 and honestly, isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
What's Awful: She tattooed herself. Prolly a horribly done stick and poke using a safety pin and some pen ink (let's hope not). It's absolutely wonky and I hope she gets this covered or something in the future or at least fixed. That's if it even stays in her skin in the first place.
How It Can Be Fixed: Cover up or retouch, and stop tattooing yourself.

ghd hair Australia and visure have worked together since 2008 when ghd hair first released their styling products to the Australian market. visure works as an extension of the Marketing and Education teams in the Brisbane HQ designing and developing materials for both divisions across print and web.

OHO is the only Not-for-profit Agency in Australia to specifically promote a holistic approach to primary health care. visure has worked with the team behind One Health for more than six years contributing pro bono brand strategy and brand communications to help promote the projects and Social Enterprise Scheme.
The Social Enterprise Scheme encourages businesses of all sizes to create innovative programs that support their local and global communities. OHO is a registered associate of the United Nations DPI, and represents holistic perspectives on international development and community health at relevant conferences and summits.
Having the One Health brand appear at a 2011 UN congregation was one of many highlights for the whole team involved. The team behind One Health and all of those who collaborate and support One Health are incredibly inspiring!
When Belinda from method fitness approached visure to develop a brand, she expressed how important it was that the new brand be memorable, punchy and clear at communicating her training approach. It also needed to be reflective of the skills of the team, the methodical approach taken to ensure method's clients get the results they are after with a touch of fun.
Through our brand strategy workshop, we were able to crystalise Belinda's vision of creating a healthier, happier society through health and fitness and determine the best way forward for her brand to support this pursuit.
Every aspect of the brand has been aligned to give a clear message of the method fitness approach from the identity, tone of voice, print materials and website which we worked closely with the team at Ecoda on.
visure worked with the team at 2M to identify how to best represent their language services business. This included full Brand Strategy development including a name change to 2M Language Services from Multimedia Languages and Marketing.
The logo, speech icons and supporting visual style were all created to provide a vibrant visual language to match the energetic team behind 2M. Print materials, the web site, advertising templates and banners have also been created.

It's just another day in Buffalo, and that means there are more reports coming out about where to put the new Buffalo Bills stadium. I have looked over two separate articles, one says put it on the Lackawanna waterfront, and the other says West Seneca. Both choices are only minutes away from Ralph Wilson Stadium. Whats the best location?
Lackawanna: There are people who want to see a waterfront stadium, but do not think Downtown Buffalo is the right way to go. If that is the case Lackawanna may be the only other choice in Erie County. If I need to pick between West Seneca and Lackawanna for the Bills new home I'll go this way. Putting a retractable dome on the water front on land that is otherwise unused make sense. Not only is their room for the stadium, there is room for the beloved tailgating that Bills fans are so famous or should I say infamous for. There is still a way to connect the Buffalo water front and the possible location in Lackawanna stadium. It's called a multi-use complex.
You could make sure to keep a large amount of green space; allowing for family to use the surrounding area year round, build some docks, and allows the area boaters access to the land as well. This is about building the WNY area and water front as a whole. To do that you do not need to strictly build downtown Buffalo, you need to spread out the projects, or all you are doing is leaving your community in the dust.
West Seneca: While I really don't like the idea of putting a Stadium one mile from my house, it is refreshing to see that there are bigger plans than building a stadium and leaving it with nothing around. If that was the case you should stay in Orchard Park. In the latest report by Niagara Falls Reporter, it is outlined that Tom Golisano and his partner Scott Congel are thinking big. If their bid is successful they would look to put a stadium on the old Seneca Mall site. The plan would be to build Hotels, Shopping Centers, Apartments and more. Okay stop right there. The location being considered already has three hotels open. There is a K-Mart and two supermarkets. As for apartments, WHAT?
This location does have a few different thruway options close by, it also is big enough to support a stadium, but it's not ideal. It in no way do much more than drive people nuts, you are basically land locked on all sides. However, if it takes a West Seneca site to save the Buffalo Bills, I'll adjust.
Given the two choices and all things being equal I'm going water front. What location do you think sounds better?

The Monfort Heights/White Oak Community Association presents Northwest Local School District Superintendent Rick Glatfelter at its next regular meeting on Wednesday, April 13.
The group meets at 7:30 p.m. at the Green Township Senior Center, 3620 Epley Road
Glatfelter will discuss the age and condition of buildings in the Northwest Local School District and will share recommendations from a district facility study team that includes vacating, replacing or renovating the district's 13 buildings. If approved, school officials say the projects would assure the continuation of high quality public education in the district, greater attractiveness of our communities to young families, improved property values for home owners, and more efficient facilities and lower operating costs. Both the Monfort Heights Elementary School and the White Oak Middle School would be renovated under the proposals being considered.
The district has completed a series of meetings to share the plan, and is in the process of finalizing a community survey, which is being paid for by grant money, to see what kind of support there is in the community for a funding request to implement the facilities plan. The estimated cost for the project is $155 million which includes $5 million for inflation.
The facilities team suggested paying for the project with a 3.98-mill bond levy and 1 mill from the district's permanent improvement fund. Part of the recommendation being considered is that the district not participate in the Ohio Schools Facilities Commission program because it was believed commission square-footage requirements could drive up the cost of the buildings, and procedural requirements of the program could cause delays that cost money.
Using state money would also mean the district would also have to wait to begin the projects, losing the advantage of lower construction costs currently available.

Foams from CO2-based polyols
Polyurethane foams are used in a diverse range of products and can be classified into three categories.
- Flexible foams are used in mattresses, furniture, automotive seating, etc. and can be produced by either a continuous slabstock process or a batch molding process.
- Rigid foams are used in structural and insulation applications. They can be supplied as finished boardstock or applied in the field using spray or pour-in-place systems.
- Specialty foams are used in a wide range of high performance applications such as footwear, filters, medical, and industrial products.
Novomers polyols can be tailored to suit a wide range of applications across these categories by precisely controlling molecular weight, backbone chemistry, functionality, and primary vs. secondary hydroxyl groups.

In 2008, Black Moth Super Rainbow mastermind Tobacco reissued his band's Dandelion Gum on vinyl. The first 1,000 featured a scratch-and-sniff album sleeve. Since then, he's been trying to one-up himself (and Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips) with each release. Accordingly, 2009's Eating Us featured a limited-edition "hairy" version with a CD encased in synthetic hair.
For the new Cobra Juicy, the band opted to create limited-edition vinyl masks modeled after the album cover. Each mask is blacklight-responsive and features a USB "tooth," containing music, videos, artwork and other goodies. "We wanted to do edible, but The Flaming Lips beat me to that," Tobacco laments. "I figured the next step would be something wearable."
Tobacco also called out his good friend Coyne, whom he's toured with, for copying his "hairy" album idea when The Flaming Lips released a special-edition furry album cover for 2009's Embryonic, which was released five months after Eating Us. "They put out a hairy CD in October of 2009 and claimed they invented it, but they didn't invent shit," Tobacco says. "I text Wayne every once in a while and I haven't really told him that I'm competing with him, but in my mind I am."
It took Tobacco a few years to find a company that could create the masks he envisioned and stumbled upon Specter Studios, which is just 10 minutes away from his home in Pittsburgh. He opted to raise money for the project via Kickstarter rather than going with a traditional record label — a more popular option for free-spirited musicians these days. "I'd been wanting to break out and do something myself, and at the same time no one wanted to sign Black Moth," Tobacco says. "But it worked out because I actually did want to do this. Being undesirable was a good thing in this case." – J.G.

Thou shalt not use poetry, art or music to get into girls' pants. Use it to get into their heads.
I know this has nothing to do with music, however I would just like to share with all of you lovelies how great my mother is. I have been waiting through the weekend to see an ophthalmologist on Monday, and so my eye has been causing me all sorts of pain and discomfort. My mother, not knowing what she can do for my distress, did the only logical thing. She left the room and came back with 2 glasses and a bottle of vodka and told me to start pouring. My eye feels MUCH better.
Thanks Margie.
Love, Genevieve.

China's probe into metals warehousing at Qingdao port is unlikely to "break" the copper market, while it may depress prices in the short term, according to Bank of America Corp.
Nickel prices will likely slip next year as increased production brings supply and demand into balance, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Slumping nickel prices will force some producers to cut output in the next two years to prevent an oversupply, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
The London Metal Exchange, the world's biggest industrial-metals marketplace, changed its rules to speed up withdrawals from warehoused stockpiles amid consumer complaints that prompted scrutiny from U.S. regulators.
The Chinese entrepreneur and the Peruvian shopkeeper have never met. Yet Li Shiping's dream of riches and success in China is uprooting Victor Raul Ancieta's village 18,000 kilometers (11,000 miles) away in the Andes.
"You had headwinds for prices in both regions."

Marriage is between a man and a woman. Now, I'm not a knuckle-dragging homophobe. Gays have rights too just like everyone.

With new leaders in place, PSIA focuses on adoption of specifications
Chairman doesn't rule out collaboration with ONVIF, but says current focus is market education
"One of the things the market needs right now is education," Lien said. "We're going to push more programs to educate people about standards and PSIA standards and why they're important. There are specific benefits for integrators, specifiers and manufacturers that are all slightly different. We need to show those good concrete benefits if we are going to see adoption."
The benefits of the PSIA specification are already there, said Honeywell's Marine Drive, the new vice chairman at PSIA. He says the specs are "lightweight and secured", and says the specification was designed to work with small-footprint intrusion systems as well as more powerful devices like cameras and head-end systems. He adds that manufacturers' product architects are likely to find favor in PSIA's specifications because it is not a "glue" of different protocols.
"PSIA specs were derived clearly from system use cases to create value for the end-users and reduce installation costs for the systems integrators – in comparison to being a mere protocol compatibility specification. … PSIA specifications adopt a platforms approach through common metadata, event and security models that form a common base for all its specifications."
That "platform" approach, added Drive, "makes adoption [by product manufacturers] simpler, accelerated and with less overall investment in comparison to a non-platform appoach."
As to the competition from ONVIF, as that organization widens its focus beyond camera-to-recorder interfaces, Lien said that its not out of the question that there might someday be collaboration among the organizations, which already share some key members. Lien said that its unreasonable to expect that to happen overnight, however.
"As a company in the industry, it would be great to get a single standard, but the two organizations have separate focuses. … There is definitely a potential for the different standards bodies to work together. Only time will tell."

text: I think it would be tolerable to be famous for one day or one week, but not for my whole life. If you are famous then everything you do is recorded by other people, which means you have no privacy. The only thing you can do to protect yourself from others is to lock yourself inside your house. This thought sounds terrible to me. If that were the only way to have some privacy I think I would become insane. So I am really happy to be normal--normal like most other people.

Im currently on an SB3100. Its been flawless for me, but it cannot handle the speed upgrade. I find speeds are slower than they were before the upgrade. I would really like a newer Surfboard instead of something else (absolutely refuse to use anything from RCA).Can I just go into my local Mediacom office here in Dbq (not far from me at all) and tell them to upgrade me (free of charge of course since it'd be a lease), or do I need to call and setup an appointment, and have a cable tech come to my house with the new modem (which isnt needed since I can do the install myself)?I ask because the last time I had went to the office they wouldnt answer a single question, they just tell me to call the national service number. THanks!
I recently had a bad modem and went in to a local mediacom office and just asked for a new one then called up customer service and had them register it.
While you can call support, you can register the new modem yourself.See this post. It's old, but still works.»Having Problems getting online?
No that doen't work. They updated from Sas to walledgarden.If you change your modem it should gige you a 10 dot IP. When you open the browser it should take you to the Reg site. Use your account number and the last 9 of the same number as the password. It will ask if you want to replace the modem just click yes.If for some reason your dns doesn't take you there the address is »walledgarden.mchsd.com
Even if you try that sas page it will take you to walledgarden.Once you get your new modem and hook it up just restart your computer (if you have a router you will need to remove it so you can register the modem). If your network settings are set to default (ie no custom DNS servers etc) once you try to go to a website (any website) you will be redirected to the walledgarden page.You will need to enter your account number (located on your billing statement) in the first field and registration code in the second field (note that *most of the time* this is the last 9 digits of your account number, if this is not the case you will need to contact tech support). Click on SUBMIT and after that click on Options in Mediacom Online section (unless you have Mediacom Phone service this will be your only available section).Click on YES and after that click on HERE. Your modem should reset on it's own but if not reset it manually.If you have a router hook it back up, reset your modem again and once you modem is synced up, reset the router. After that restart your computer.It's really simple, but of course you can always request a service tech to replace your modem and he will do this for you. Or at least he should...
