Barbara Beach, Stuart
Letter: Library money increasingly going to gadgetry and e-books
Let us tell the whole story regarding the "dearth" of new books in our libraries. A large portion of the "reduced funding" is being spent on electronic gadgets and e-books.
The redesigned online library catalog page now times your use and cuts you off. Now I can order books online to be picked up at my branch and check my books out myself, therefore eliminating any interaction with staff.
I am also unhappy that someone deemed it necessary to take down the poster of "Mr. Funnybones" that used to hang in the lobby of the Blake Library.
Phil Kavanaugh was an outstanding asset to our library community.

Chris Burch Scales Back on Expansion
A verdict has yet to be reached on Burch vs. Burch, but Chris Burch's business seems to already be taking a hit. According to WWD, Burch Creative Capital has put on hold plans to open two more retail companies in addition to C.Wonder and Monika Chiang (Burch's current girl friend) over the next two years.
"We're concentrating our full resources on these efforts," Burch told the trade. "We have temporarily delayed the launches of two other brands under development at Burch Creative Capital - Electric Love Army and Number 9 Christopher - postponing planned launch dates from 2013 to 2014 to 2014-2015. A heightened focus and intensive concentration of our resources will drive growth of the C. Wonder and Monika Chiang brands as well as innovation around the unique shopping experiences they offer."
Is this code for my current lawsuit is too costly? The battle rages on!

Action allows hospitals to better handle large numbers of patients as outbreak spreads
SATURDAY, Oct. 24 (HealthDay News) -- President Barack Obama has declared the H1N1 swine flu a national emergency.
His proclamation, signed Friday night and released by the White House Saturday morning, will allow hospitals and doctors' offices to get legal waivers of federal rules so they can handle large numbers of sick people as the outbreak spreads.
"The H1N1 is moving rapidly, as expected. By the time regions or health-care systems recognize they are becoming overburdened, they need to implement disaster plans quickly," White House spokesman Reid Cherlin said Saturday, according to the Washington Post.
The waivers, which will be issued by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, still require individual requests by the hospitals, Cherlin noted.
The goal, according to the Associated Press, is to remove bureaucratic roadblocks and make it easier for sick people to seek treatment and for medical personnel to provide it immediately. That could mean fewer hurdles involving Medicare, Medicaid or health privacy regulations, the AP added.
The H1N1 swine flu is now widespread in 46 states, and there have been 1,000 laboratory-confirmed deaths since April, according to the latest estimates released Friday by U.S. health officials.
Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told a news conference Friday, "We have already had millions of cases of pandemic influenza in the United States, and the numbers continue to increase."
At the same time, he said, production delays continue to hamper distribution of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine.
The vaccine is growing more slowly in egg-based cultures than manufacturers had anticipated, resulting in fewer available doses at this time, Frieden explained.

I've been seeing this guy since Septemberish (we met in late August) and we made things official about a month ago. Lately he hasn't been calling or texting me much. He has emailed me a few times but they are hollow emails. When we are together, things seem to be pretty good. It also kind of... Show More
Why does my boyfriend never call or text me?
What Guys Said
wow wow wow wow wow slow the hell down take a deep breath in out... in with the good out with the bad, calm down...done? ok good. you're over reacting a little but, but its only natural so don't worry =)
finals are a really stressful time, especially if he wants to do well so its better not to distract him, and I mean distraact, you can still see/talk to him when he's takeing a break =) no human being can possibly study 24hours straight withought taking a time out. so ill try answer your questions as best I can:
1. men are naturally more goal oritated than wimen wich means that sometimes when we get focuesd on something we forget about the other things, even our wimen, wich doesent meant hat we don't love them! (for example try talking to a guy while he's watching a football game you'll know what I mean). so he's just passing through a touch phase in his life right now with the exams and focuseing in on that, wich is a good thing since he knows its important to succeed. some guys really don't call or text while in a relationship, the reasons can be various from that he's too busy, he has no cash on his phone, he doesent respect his woman and refers to her as "ma b*tch" it all really depends on how he treats you and only you can answer that question.
2. you should defenatly let him focus on his exams since he's so intent on doing well if you distract him too much you can risk annoying him and coming off as pesky or clingy, and altho that is cute its also never a good thing to be. what you can do tho is help him in his studys, like cook or help with the laundry, id he's prepareing for exams, those things tend to get in the way, if you can help with that and concequently help him focus on his studys, then he will appreciate you even more, just don't be too obvious about it and distract him.
3. some guys like the chace, like a challenge depends on the guy and what works with him, altho if he already has you retracting might not be a good idea since you're already in a stabel relationship and moving away might be risking tipping the balance. there's no real way of telling till his exams are over and he has free time anyway so I suggest you have your patience, the last thing he needs now on his mind while having exams is his girlfreind being insecure, cin up!
4. you're overeacting and being insecure, don't he's just busy, either way he probably is just swaped with his academia and has moved his focus to that. if he was getting bored of you then he probably wouldent say things like he really misses you or wants to see you, men just don't do that unless they want to hold on to somebody so you should think about that; if he really wasent interested in you would he invest the time? sit with you an entire weekend when he can go hang out with his freinds or hook up with other girls? something tells me you're more dear to him than you realise =)
either way just have patience and calme down... deep breaths!
Wait until after his finals are done.
Yeah...I over react. Over insignificant stuff. ALWAYS. It's kind of why I joined this site. I recognized long ago that this is not only an issue, it's a problem. While I can't curtail all of it, I CAN control some of it and let the rest out on the internet! Haha.
Anyway, good answers all around. Also, thanks for your nice but firm tone. Much appreciated.
Don't mention it, I don't think I said anything special that made you have a sudden revelation, all I said is something I'm sure you already knew deep down inside or could have realized on your own, so really I don't think I did anything at all. no need to thank me =)
What Girls Said
Sooo I had this problem too but when we talked it out, he told me: It's a two way situation and he wouldn't know why I didn't text/call him when I should be also. He can't always be the one doing. (I always expected him to call or text me so some days I would not hear from him until 3 days pass. He would then say, "How come you never texted me?" I'd always expect too much and get mad but then I realized, he's right. I should also be texting/calling him if I want something.) I'm sure he is also waiting for you to do the calling/texting. You don't need to do it 24/7 as if you guys are stuck to each other, but you can simply ask what's up every now and then. Communication is the key. Also bring it up to him that it bothers you not hearing from him... he may say it's because you don't do it, or he may realize maybe he should be doing it more.
Don't bug him out that he may be losing interest in you though. It will show you that you are insecure about the relationship and yourself (you sound like you are not valuable). However if you truly feel like it's going to end, you can state why you felt like this (stopped showing interest like he did in the past), etc. You have to work it out together and say what you have in your mind. He can't read you... apparently men cannot read women all too well and women somehow read men differently too. It's possible he is getting too used to the relationship but you say you guys are great when you're physically together.
I suggest calling him up every night so he gets the picture and it becomes routine, even if it's just for 20 mins. Treat him like you treat your girl friends when you have something interesting to say. My boyfriend did this after a bad break up... we began communicating better everyday by talking on the phone at night because we did not do that when we were together. Now we are working it out. Hope for the best with you and your man. The best advice is to change the relationship a bit by giving some effort and telling him he needs to as well...
Have an opinion?

Since President Obama formed the Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Action Team ("HEAT") in May 2009, combating health care fraud has been a federal "cabinet-level priority." Statistics from fiscal year 2011 ("2011") demonstrate the impact of the federal government's investment of substantial resources in health care enforcement. Last year, federal and state enforcement agencies filed a record number of criminal and civil cases and recovered record-breaking financial settlements in the health care fraud arena.
According to available data, the Department of Justice ("DOJ") initiated 1,235 new health care fraud prosecutions in 2011—an increase of 68.9% over fiscal year 2010 ("2010"), and recovered $2.4 billion in health care settlements and judgments under the federal False Claims Act ("FCA"). In addition, the Department of Health and Human Services'("HHS") Office of Inspector General ("OIG") reported that 614 criminal and 381 civil actions had been brought against individuals and entities allegedly involved in health-care-related offenses. As a result, HHS obtained $3.6 billion in investigative receivables and $947 million in non-HHS investigative receivables, including receivables relating to States' share of Medicaid restitution.
The general enforcement trends from last year include...

The decline in GDP saw gold and silver spike yesterday with the thought that the fed will still be around a little while longer. But before that report traders have been selling into any Gold & Silver rally with the thought that the economy is getting better, risk appetite is gaining, funds are unwinding the safe haven trades, and ultimately interest rates are going to start rising.
This is the reason that prior to yesterday Gold and Silver have not been participating in the Risk On rallies in markets. Sure they spike a little at the beginning of the year, or week, etc. but soon are sold into rather heavily.
[Related -Savings Glut and Financial Imbalances]
Now granted gold and silver haven`t been putting in new lows, but are sort of just stuck in trading ranges. However, it is to be noted that they are underperforming other asset classes right now. All of which brings me to the question of whether Gold should be sold into on any spike upwards?
Have we seen the Near-Term Top in Gold?
Have we seen the near-term top for Gold and Silver markets for two, three, five years? I think it is too soon to tell as Spain and Greece`s troubles I expect need to be dealt with sometime this year, and then we will start to have fund flows back into bonds and Gold and Silver on European Solvency issues. However, I have serious doubts that Gold will put in a new high for 2013.
[Related -A Dividend Aristocrat Is Now On Sale]
The Gold Thesis still Valid
I understand the underlying arguments concerning currency debasement by central banks around the world. I understand that mining costs are rising long term as well. But this has been the case for the last 200 years as well.
Price Action different from Fundamental Thesis
All this can still be true, and for a myriad of reasons Gold still goes down from here. Arriving at "fair value' for any commodity is tricky, but from a trading standpoint Gold acts very weak.
If bonds start to break through 2.25 & 2.50 for the 10-year in yield, Gold could break to the downside through the $1500 an ounce level as traders anticipate a change in fed policy in the latter half of this year.

I think this might be my first time posting.. I've commented, but I don't think I've ever posted. Anyway, here it is.
On April 18th, Report cards were released. Since Jamari was out sick, he was not at school to receive his. In late February, early March, parents received a Progress Report for their child(ren) letting them know how their child was doing, and if that child's grade was slipping, getting better, or remaining the same. For his first report card, he received all PR's (90-100%) which is equivalent to all A's. For his 2nd RC, there was an error in the grading, and the corrected RC showed that again he received all PR's. According to his Progress Report, it indicated that his grades were all PR's. All of his projects were 100% or A+'s. However, when he brought home his report card for this quarter, he had 3 IP's (80-89%) which is equivalent to B's. They were for Social Development, Social Studies, and Literacy.
What's confusing me is the fact that he reads way above grade level. How can a child who was reading between a 10 and 11 in October, and now at level 26 or better now; and does very well in Social Studies; completes all of his assignments; even completes and completed all extra credit assigments as well as completes all of his classroom assignments before the class does, and gets along well with others in his classroom and other children outside of his classroom, grades drop? I understand that a B is a good grade also, but his mom is not happy with the fact that they are always messing up on the children's report cards.
On his last report card they gave him a ND (50-69%) in Literacy. His mother was livid. She called his teacher and asked her how could he get that grade without given an explanation in advance so that she could work with him on this. His mother was told that something went wrong with the grading and that he did in fact receive all PR's. Now, they are making a similar mistake this quarter. His mother feels that they think that if the parents don't complain or don't say anything, all is well. She said that she knows her child's potential, but what if she was like the other parents who punishes their children for dropping their grades? Because there are a lot of parents like that.

I think you are thinking of the PS3 because M$ actually slammed Sony in the beginning for those statements.
Now M$ (Sony too) just as with the Wii and Kinect is trying to play catch-up.
And they will eventually cave with the Nextbox 360 with some sort of Blu-ray player.
Pissed off might be the wrong choice in words but they need to focus more on gaming.
they took their eye off the ball to play catch-up IMO

Thursday, August 16, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
CAMILLA — The Mitchell County Commission has voted to dismiss its county administrator, officials say.
In a 3-1 vote, with one commissioner absent, the commission decided Tuesday to terminate Administrator Jerry Presley, citing a clause in his contract that allowed for the dismissal, Mitchell County Clerk's office officials say.
Commission Chairman Benjamin Hayward of District 1 was the sole commissioner to vote against termination. Attempts to reach Hayward on Thursday were unsuccessful. The Albany Herald, however, did obtain a copy of the handwritten dismissal letter sent to Presley that was signed by Hayward.
"Please allow this to serve as written notice of the termination of your employment contract with the Mitchell County pursuant to paragraph 12(a) of said contract," the letter states. "The Board of Commissioners understands that you are entitled to three months of your annual salary together with other compensation provided in paragraph 12(b) of said contract.
"The board of commissioners believes that you are not a good match for Mitchell County."
The paragraphs mentioned in the letter refer to the termination clause of Presley's contract that states that either party can terminate the contract for any reason given at least 30 days of notice. Paragraph B states that if the contract is terminated but Presley is still able to perform the duties at the time of termination, that the county should pay him three months of severance and reward him with any leave or sick time he's accrued.
Following the vote, the commission voted 4-0 to reinstate Jerry Perminter as the county's interim administrator until a full-time replacement can be found.
The decision to dismiss Presley comes less that five months after commissioners voted to offer him the job on April 25 and less than three months after he accepted on June 4.
MORE: Click here to see Presley talk about the county's new ambulance service in a report from WFXL-TV.
Perminter said that he will continue to work on fixing the county's budget problems. More than a month after budgets were supposed to be adopted and millage rates set, Mitchell County has yet to do either. The county is operating on a 30-day deadline waiver and has asked the Georgia Department of Revenue for a second 30-day waiver.
"I'm not sure what (the commission's) next step will be but we've got to focus on getting some of these budget issues worked out," Perminter said. "That's the critical issue at this point."

Adorable Red Heater Tamar Rosenthal from Los Angeles, CA on 01/22/2013 – Verified Buyer
We loved the look of this fan from the moment we saw it. When it arrived, it did not disappoint in terms of its cute factor. We were a little shocked at how little air it seemed to put out, but it surprised us how quickly it warmed up our rather large bathroom. We were also surprised to find that it is a fan, so it can be used in the summer also. We plan to buy one in yellow and white now!

This item is beautiful. I just received it for my wife. Even though it is summer in TX she gets cold in her office from the A/C. We picked this b/c it has an adjustable thermostat. We were so happy with the quality upon receiving it. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone interested in a room heater. Finally a mix of style and function!

NEW YORK, August 12, 2009 -- Rochelle Buffenstein, PhD, professor, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and Luigi Fontana, MD, PhD, research associate professor, Washington University in St. Louis, were selected as recipients of the Breakthroughs in Gerontology (BIG) Award sponsored by the Glenn Foundation for Medical Research and the American Federation for Aging Research (AFAR). Established in 2005, the BIG Award provides $200,000 grants for high risk, original research that offers significant promise of yielding transforming discoveries in the fundamental biology of aging.
Dr. Buffenstein will investigate how regulation by the Nrf2 signaling pathwaya major detoxification pathwayprotects long-lived species such as the naked mole rat from cellular stress that contributes to age-related diseases. The naked mole rat is the longest-lived rodent known, living 8.6 times longer than similar-sized mice, and maintains cancer-free, good health for more than 85% of its 30-year lifespan. Its tissues show pronounced cellular resistance to most noxious agents. In contrast, most short-lived species, rather than fending off threats to their tissues, direct many of their resources into rapid growth and early reproduction and readily succumb to age-related diseases such as cancer. Understanding the mechanisms involved in this pathway may provide pivotal insights into aging.
Dr. Fontana seeks to better understand caloric restriction (CR), which has been shown to slow aging in certain laboratory animals. The precise molecular mechanisms responsible for this effect are not known, but likely involve the regulation of gene function. Recent findings in individuals on long-term CR with adequate nutrition observed protection against diabetes, hypertension, inflammation, clogged arteries and deterioration of heart function with aging. This is consistent with long-term effects of CR in monkeys and rodents. However, little is known about the

So I have around 1.5 stone to go to goal. I rejoined my local SW group today. I have been shopping and I am ready
I am currently 10 st 13.5 and I have never been below 10 st 4 ...it's all in the mind but I am frightened to put my goal at 9.7 even though that's what it should be. I have set my interim at 10 stone and will adjust later on.
Having read the new plan SP it looks quite doable

Well ... they didn't find it because it ain't there. Evidently they don't know about Ut-Napishtim ?
MonoPoly relationships rarely work out. Polyamory isn't about stepping out and making someone deal with it or change.
Polyamory is about the ability of anyone to completely open their heart to more than one person. That doesn't mean you go around screwing the first person you see and torture your spouse. That is cheating. It means that you both live in a state of love and support of each other.
To have a successful MonoPoly relationship , both primary partners need to be on the same page. The Mono partner has to be just as supportive for the Poly partner's lifestyle as the Poly partner is supportive of the Mono partner.
The Mono partner does have a limited circle to rely on for help with the relationship, because most in the Mono community won't even try to understand why one would stay in a relationship like that and therefore the Mono partner would shun advice from Poly friends that understand the dynamics better.
The Poly partner has all types of support because they have friends and partners that understand the dynamics very well and would like to see all of the Poly partner's relationships grow and flourish.
It makes it hard to succeed, if the Mono partner takes the advice to not listen to "excuses", to not trust the Poly partner, to think of them as a cheater, liar, and every other bad name in the book.
Honesty is the key. Not brutal honesty. Keep your partner filled in on basic particulars but not necessarily all the details. Tell them if you are fluid bonded or protected during sex. Find out about whether your partners have been tested and what if any STI's they have. Ask to see tests. (I tell people straight up that I have HSV 1&2. Most (about 80%) have #1 about 30-40% have #2.) I am not scared to be honest and open. You need to be that honest, if you are going to be successful.
the comment on carl shooting the ceiling okedoke but the roof of the mouth is something you wouls see back in the day oa Al-pacino but basically further like the cambinos, dalucas, etc. and bevin spendind more time with his kids than his dad spent with him would be obvious to most anyone. We all rey to raise are kids a little different than we were raisede but Carl a public figure makes him sound like a bad dad. And sure he was at times. this might help what I'm trying to say. I for instqant Worked at St. Joseph Hospital for the medical director Dr. Billingsley back i the day Barbg Lindula was ther executive sec. and me and Beverley work at the Drs Message Deswk. Thats back in 81-82 etc When drs. had there oown parking lot and gate card to get in. There first stop inside was usually me BHecuz I had all the patients surgurie4s admits, room changes etc. Well whenn you work for the medical director he is in charge of those drs. from everything to meetings, there problems with mal-practice, drug and alcohol addictions and blah blah blah. It6 not only taught me confidentiality but it made me realize Drs. aren't god as most see them. they are human too. Just like a pro boxer, attorney or public figure. thanks bevin cuz I hope you read this Barbara Glass
Beautiful show. Very well cast. And just perfect.
Privileged to see a preview of the show. So much fun! The cast did an amazing job and the costuming is perfect.
Pappy Boyington, also a St. Maries-ite.
While Duncan gardens and othe manito spaces are looking as good as ever the current state of the Japanese gardens is depressing. The Japanese garden used to be an adventure over stepping stones and fun shaped colorful bridges through a mythical wonderland of perfectly cared for plants and trees pruned to impossible perfection. It was like stepping into another world and was always full of happy guests. Now it's just a circular path surrounded by overgrown plants. Save for the pond and koi fish it now looks like any other northwest forest and attracts far fewer people. Seeing it in this run down shape on my latest trip to Spokane made me sad. Maybe it now has three postcard viewpoints, but it's lost its magic.
I know this feel. Though, I wasn't fired from my janitor job, I quit. I quit to pursue my passion of graphic design, of which I am currently getting my bachelor's degree for. I think everyone needs to have a short bout of the hard times to truly appreciate the here and the now. :)
I keep waiting for Victoria's Secret to reduce the price of thongs and call it a "Whale (Tail )of a Sale"!
I swear that I have never heard of this guy.
Great article! Go Joe!
Who said anything about promoting? I didn't say that, nor am I oblivious to the supposed goal of the article. One of the co-organizers was referenced and given a voice, yet the main person driving the idea behind this whole idea wasn't -- and I find this more important than making sure to name-drop other individuals mentioned in this article.
This was one of the coolest things I've done in years! The collective campout pushed my mind and creativity to the max. I learned so many new things that will assist me in my daily and my money on the side non-profit organizations. Thanks to all who helped put this on. I can not wait for next year.
The ores and minerals, the bars, the hill, the folks. Nice article. Kellogg is one of a kind.
John Mujica, along with a committee of over a dozen people worked together for months to put this event together. But, the purpose of the article was to promote the camp, not the people who put the camp together. I think Chey did an excellent job accurately portraying the purpose and outcome of Collective Campout.
Where's the love for John Mujica? He was pretty damn instrumental for this event...
good job bringing to life an apparently dying sport that was found in almost every park when i was young
I vote for the original, too. The only change I would suggest is to replace the navy blue with purple. The others are too complex, and the latest appropriates the self-description of the Spokane Tribe, which is disrespectful of their culture. It's good that it has been hidden away.
I'm Sure St Maries would be happy to have you leave Lola Loino if you all ready have not.
In order to bring attention to the flags, perhaps the Inlander could run a cover with Sheriff Knezovich standing on them.
