Willow Creek gas station robbed, suspect at large
From the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office: On October 28, at approximately 6:10 a.m., the Humboldt Sheriff's Office received a 911 call regarding a robbery which just occurred. The clerk at the Patriot Gas Station located at 39143 State Highway 299, Willow Creek reported he was just robbed. The suspect stole all the cash from the register. When deputies arrived they met with the clerk who told them he was just robbed by a male suspect who fled on foot. The clerk told the deputies he believed the suspect was armed with a pistol, but never actually saw one. The suspect held one of his hands inside his coat pocket the entire time and implied he had a gun. The suspect told the clerk to put all the money in a bag. After the money was put in a bag, the suspect fled. The clerk was not injured.
Deputies checked the area for the suspect who was described as a white male adult, 6' tall, wearing a green Gortex style jacket, with a zipped up hood, light blond hair, approximately 200 lbs and was wearing blue gloves. Deputies did not locate the suspect.
Anyone with information for the Sheriffs Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriffs Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

an interactive video link with students on the schools, which benefit
today, Hector Slim Seade, General Director of Teléfonos de Mexico
(Telmex) and the lawyer Alfredo del Mazo, Mayor of Huixquilucan, put
into operation four digital classrooms, as well as Free public access
places of Infinitum mobile Internet service on the esplanade of the City,
the Garden of Culture and two Schools of Bachelors.
digital classrooms will directly benefit to 3,900 students per month,
because these places are fully enabled with computer equipment,
next-generation broadband connectivity in 4Mgbps Infinitum and
educational software, developed by the company and the Technology
Institute of Massachusetts (MIT), for the optimum use and maximum
utilization of equipment. Moreover, with mobile WiFi service in
public places also benefits the general population of the town with a
tool for advanced communications technology.
opened digital classrooms are located in public libraries of Colonia
Palo Solo and Magdalena
Chichicaspa and in the Youth Care
Agency of Barrio de San Martín
and Colonia San Fernando.
These four digital classrooms have more than 109 desktop computer
equipment and laptops, printers and scanners, as well as video
projectors, cameras and video, monocular biological microscope,
interactive globe with pen and all the necessary furniture for
these classes, they provide to children, parents, students and
teachers of schools; access to information technology through
workshops and complementary to traditional educational programs,
taught by highly qualified staff.

the young people, many older adults seek to keep pace with
technological advances. This is the case of Norma Reyes, who at
75 years old can easily handle a mouse and surf in Internet.
"Three months ago I was the only one in my house who could not
use a computer. Now I can visit many web pages to entertain and
inform by myself", Norma says while she is browsing web pages of news, listening to music on her website referred to and chat with
their classmates.
is a beneficiary of Digital Literacy Program offered by the Home for
the Elderly in the Municipality of Jesus Maria (Lima) and is
taught by seven teachers, the most notably is César Taramona, 71
years old, and who argues that: "with great patience and
love the most old men of the house are overcoming prejudices".
Ernesto Fierro, 52 old, admits that some years ago he had the
opportunity to attend a course with young and older adults, and
the old people did not know even how to use a mouse. "It was
a shame to see them feel excluded", he recalls. That
experience allowed him to see that, except the houses for the
elderly in some towns, there were no places where people with his age
could learn the principles of the network.Therefore, he established a Technical Center
for Productivity (Cetpro) Linda Systems, located in San Borja (Lima), wich offers free computer classes in a
session of two hours. People just need to show their ID and be
willing to learn.In
2009 over 200 older adults followed the Digital Literacy Program of Jesus Maria. At these workshops, people learn to create an e-mail,
chat, video calls, using a USB and download photos from a digital
camera. The municipalities of Miraflores, San Borja and La
Molina in Lima also provide computer classes for older adults.
The Ministry of Telecommunications through the National Telecommunications
Corporation (CNT EP), delivered 1,200 new
telephone lines to the city of Sucúa, jurisdiction of the province of Morona
Santiago. In the main coliseum of the town, they met
a lot of public, CNT according to the plans set for this year, began the
process to award a very significant amount of telephone lines that will benefit
the urban and rural towns.
Raul Auquilla Delgado, manager of
the CNT in Morona Santiago said that this task involves a group of employees
committed to progress and public welfare. With pride and
the satisfaction of accomplishment, noted, we stand infront of you today to
deliver 1,200 new communication solutions. Sucúa from the
beginning was our goal, although the province is in the same line.
We believe this is the ideal
place to announce new projects for our province. "The
technology we are running, such as fiber optic cord close to the rest of
southern country, will let us provide broadband Internet access", he said.
In the same way Freddy
Moscoso, Manager of the CNT of Caña, who on behalf of the General Manager of
the CNT, inaugurated and officially handed over this extension. Also, he
mentioned that Morona Santiago, as the Austro of the the country, remained for
many years in total abandonment in telecommunications,
forcing the CNT to establish new executable projects, whose results are visible
to everyone. Sucúa installed capacity, as of today, is
It is clear progress in the field of
telecommunications, we note the change, now users can access Internet services
on broadband, and telephony have to communicate nationally and internationally,
it reaffirms the links of family memebers and why not say contribute
to the economic development of the population. That's

National Telecommunications Corporation (CNT EP), pursuant to the provisions of
the Law Amending the Law of the Elderly and in accordance with the mandate
embedded in the Constitution of Ecuador, benefits more than 18,000 users of
older by applying an exemption of 50% in the basic rent of telephone
service and the implementation of special modules for care and recovery.
Users should approach the Internal Revenue Service, IRS, to apply this exemption
and according the information provided by the regulatory body of citizens, they can determine who qualifies to be exempt and not pay the VAT; in addition to the
reduction of consumption by 50% in the basic rent directly.
Preferential treatment
Services Centers, CIS, have physical space to care for the elderly in a
comfortable and appropriate place. If it is not feasible to go personally to do some
processing of requests for products or services of the CNT, authorize in
writing to a relative.
It should be noted that in case of death of the user, the privileges gained on the telephone line are automatically
lost . To be reinstated, it must
make the appropriate assignment of rights in the event that the new user is
elderly, and the process begins again.
Thus, the Ministry of Telecommunications through the CNT EP complies with
national government policies and the development of the good life of citizens, seeking to provide more and better telecommunications and connectivity services
throughout the country, backed a solid technology platform.

Telefónica and Nokia
launched the first organic commercial offering in the market, which includes
two of the most "sustainable" mobile devices: Nokia N8 and Nokia C7,
adapted by the Finnish manufacturer exclusively for movistar. This is the first
commercial release to materialize the overall project "Green Customer
Experience" of Telefónica, designed to offer customers a "green"
experience, since the device was shopping until the end of its useful life.
Spain is the first
country where Telefónica starts the project; the proposal will be coming
gradually to other countries where the Spanish company has a presence, like UK,
Germany, Argentina, Peru and Chile.
is the first offer "sustainable" integrated between an operator and a
manufacturer that links the use of wireless to save power and enables customers
concerned about the environment, access terminals made with innovative
materials and cutting edge technology and eco-design that minimizes
environmental impact, offered for sale also 100% recyclable boxes of smaller
size and organic content applications and ad-hoc.
The terminals have ecological
applications, reduced packaging, charger, high efficiency and final recycling
option. All this accompanied by an attractive commercial offer that rewards the
decision to buy this mobile service integrated.
More advanced mobile technology can do even more,
such as checking on patients, keeping records, improving diagnosis and
treatment in the field, and letting community health workers consult
general practitioners and specialists for guidance."With
mobile technologies for health, called mhealth or mobile health,
were extending capabilities to where they dont exist today", says
David Aylward, who heads mHealth Alliance, a partnership founded by the
United Nations Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Vodafone
"At the most basic
level, mobile phones can be used to keep track of people, call for
emergency assistance, remind them of appointments and share
information", says Julian Schweitzer, PhD, former Chair of The
Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Care (PMNCH) and the
Chair of the Finance Working Group for the UN Secretary-General's
Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health, launched in
September. "But then you can layer on things like check lists,
protocols, the steps to ensure a safe birth and action instructions in
particular circumstances", says Dr. Schweitzer.
by midwives in rural, urban slums and isolated areas, cell phones can
also be attached to diagnostic devices, including those used for remote
fetal monitoring or remote wireless ultrasound. This lets a midwife or
health worker know in advance that a mother must get to a clinic. They
can also be used for recording births and deaths or assuring that both
women and children get the care they need when and where they need it.
the near future, wireless diagnostics like stethoscopes, blood
pressure, temperature and insulin monitors, and ultrasounds will enable
remote diagnosis and treatment far from the closest doctor or clinic", says Mr. Aylward.

highest authorities of the National Telecommunications Corporation (CNT EP) of
the regional 2, comprised by Pichincha,
Orellana and Napo,
reported progress in the province of Orellana.
The people of this province have benefited from this service, with a remarkable
496% growth compared to 2008, where connectivity was very low. Fixed telephony
grew by 83.09% compared to 2007 and currently have this service more families.
This province has significantly increased voice and data services and, in
telephony, for example, until 2006 it had 5,584 lines and to date shows an increase
with a total of 12,224 lines distributed between several locations.
Carlos Loayza, delegate of the General Manager of the CNT EP,
reported that the Province of Orellana had 476 Internet ports in 2008 and currently
has 2,476 ports, which means an unprecedented growth. The official emphasized
that among the localities benefited comprise: Taracoa, Dayuma, Loreto, San
Sebastian del Coca, Joya de los Sachas and Coca.
The National Government, through its Ministry of Telecommunication and Information
Society, cares for the benefits that customers receive from the CNT EP, wich provides the best
care to the citizens such as: reduction of response times to customers and
delivery of service excellence to raise the levels of satisfaction and quality
of life for people throughout the Amazon community.
It should be noted that in January 2009, the CNT EP decreased to 50% the values
of calls between the 24 provinces. Now call between provinces is 0.02ctvos
dollar. This reduction helps more than 1'800,000 subscribers and the National
Telecommunication Corporation CNT EP is expected to connect all corners of the
country, not only domestically, but also internationally.
The Government of New Zealand will look into possible mobile-learning initiatives to connect rural schools, following its announcement to subsidise the costs of ultra fast broadband.The Ministry of Education is currently looking at how to harness the potential of digital devices that nearly all students have already their mobile phones, Colin McGregor, Ministry of Education, group manager of curriculum teaching and learning design, told FutureGov Asia Pacific.
An m-learning pilot has already been successfully implemented by Onehunga High School. The Ministry is currently supporting a second project at Howick College in partnership with Waikato University and Vodafone.
The government has identified broadband as a significant driver for e-learning and equity in education and has committed to providing 97 per cent of schools with access to speeds of 100Mbps or more via the national fibre rollout.
The remaining 3 per cent in areas too remote for optic fibre currently receives 10Mbps via satellite or wireless technologies.
The ministry has been using the Virtual Learning Network (VLN), which provides mainly rural students with access to online courses.
In 2010, more than 2000 New Zealand students took part in these virtual classes over the VLN.
Other initiatives include the Ministry of Educations Laptops for Teachers and Principals scheme, which subsidises the leases on laptops for permanent, full-time or part-time teachers at state and integrated schools.
The Ministry has about two thirds of the lease cost of the teachers laptops and fully subsidises the base model for principals. More than 43,000 laptops are currently on lease, representing an 88 per cent uptake.

The Bangladeshi mobile operator Grameenphone (of Telenor Group) has set up more than 500 Community Information Centers (CICs) across the country, offering low-rate, but high-speed voice, data and other communication services to previously unconnected people.
Set up with technical assistance from the GSM Association in 2006, Grameenphone CICs are equipped with a minimum of a computer, a printer, a scanner, a webcam and an EDGE-enabled modem to access the Internet. The CICs provide high speed Internet access in rural areas, where the nearest Internet facilities would otherwise be at least 20-30 miles away. The centres are extending connectivity to those who have no alternative access to communication technologies and to those with little to spend on such services.
The CICs are designed to be run independently as small businesses by local entrepreneurs. The centres are set up in selected rural areas around the country, and people pay a small fee to access email or Web pages. Together with partners, Grameenphone also provides microcredit if needed and trains the entrepreneurs so that they become aware of the full potential of their business.

Tostan has come up with an intriguing way to teach basic literacy and numeracy, by tying it to the use of mobile phones, through their Jokko Initiative in Senegal. As part of this program, they teach basic literacy and numeracy to community participants, particularly women and girls.
They teach the cost-efficiency of sms texting relative to placing a call, which has immediate impact on the girls lives. They can use their newly acquired ability to read and write in their national language, Wolof, from the Community Empowerment Program, to compose and read text messages without assistance. Then, participants apply the skills theyve gained to specific themes (such as health, agriculture, and the environment) relevant to their everyday lives. For example, to send text messages about vaccinations and awareness-raising campaigns, to make appointments at health clinics, and to ask for advice on matters concerning health and hygiene.
Tostan, UNICEF, and the Center of Evaluation for Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California, Berkeley, recently completed an evaluation of Jokko that shows great promise for using text messaging as a means for improving literacy and community development.

San Diego • The San Diego Chargers have fired coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J. Smith after missing the playoffs for the third straight season.
Coming after a season of stunning come-from-ahead losses and increasing fan anger, the firings complete a startling fall for a team that won the AFC West from 2006-09.
The Chargers are the third team to fire Turner, who has an overall head coaching record of 114-122-1.
Despite having what was perceived as one of the NFL's most-talented rosters for several seasons, Smith and Turner never got the Chargers to the Super Bowl.
Smith's glaring roster deficiencies, especially on the offensive line in front of $94 million man Philip Rivers, helped contribute to San Diego's 7-9 record, its first losing season since 2003.
Rivers was under siege most of the season. Having to scramble for his well-being helped contribute to 22 turnovers giving him 47 in two seasons and he was sacked 49 times.
After a 3-1 start, the Chargers had a series of collapses.
They blew a 10-point third-quarter lead to lose at New Orleans on Oct. 7.
The Bolts' Monday night face-plant against Denver on Oct. 15 was epic. They blew a 24-0 halftime lead as Peyton Manning calmly led the Broncos to a 35-24 victory.
On Nov. 25, the Chargers allowed Baltimore's Ray Rice to convert on a dump-down pass on fourth-and-29. The Ravens forced overtime and won.
Chargers President Dean Spanos also had to consider business factors. Four blackouts, including three straight, meant the Chargers were losing millions of dollars in potential revenue.
Another sign of the eroding roster was that no Chargers were voted to the Pro Bowl. Six seasons ago, 11 Chargers were voted to the NFL's all-star game, including five starters.
Turner was Smith's signature hire. He inherited a 14-2 team and reached the AFC championship game his first season, but the Chargers began a gradual decline. Their last playoff win came after the 2008 season. Their last playoff appearance was an embarrassing home loss to the New York Jets after the 2009 season. The next night, the Chargers announced a four-year contract extension for Turner.
Spanos had twice sided with GMs over coaches. In 1996, he forced out Bobby Ross and kept Bobby Beathard just two years after the Chargers reached their only Super Bowl. In February 2007, Spanos fired Marty Schottenheimer due to a "dysfunctional" relationship between the coach and Smith. The two reportedly didn't speak to each other for the previous two years.
This time, both coach and GM who have always been linked at the hip were dismissed.
Smith proclaimed Turner to be the "right coach at the right time" for the Chargers. When Turner was hired, he was 24 games under .500, having gone 49-59-1 with Washington from 1994 until being fired with three games left in the 2000 season, and 9-23 with Oakland from 2004-05.
"I'm pretty much aware of who he is and where he's been," Smith said that day. "But this isn't Washington and this isn't Oakland. It's the San Diego Chargers."
Turner was 56-40 with the Chargers overall, but only 24-24 the last two seasons.
Turner has one season at $3 million left on his contract. Smith has two years left at $2 million annually.
The Chargers were 3-5 in the playoffs in 10 seasons under Smith, who was promoted after his boss, John Butler, died of cancer in 2003.
They were 3-3 in the playoffs under Turner.
Turner was known as a brilliant offensive schemer, having served as offensive coordinator for two of Dallas' three Super Bowl teams in the 1990s.
But he struggled with game management and his first four Chargers teams were known for slow starts followed by mad scrambles to get into the playoffs. When the Chargers were about to drop to 1-3 to start Turner's first season, fans began chanting "Mar-ty! Mar-ty!" in homage to Schottenheimer.
Favoring hardball negotiating tactics, Smith clashed with his own players and coaches, as well as agents and the media. He allowed a steady stream of stars to leave as free agents, including Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson, Darren Sproles, Michael Turner and Vincent Jackson, while failing to adequately replace them.
Some outsiders felt Smith's ego helped weaken the roster, and that some of his spats became personal.
He mocked Tomlinson, whose Hall of Fame-caliber career included winning the NFL MVP award in 2006. Tomlinson's sin, in Smith's eyes, was being honest about a severe groin injury late in the 2008 season. Smith also mocked the Manning family in April before Peyton Manning signed with Denver.
Smith had his hits and misses with players. He's best known for taking Eli Manning with the No. 1 pick overall in the 2004 draft despite Archie Manning's request that he not do so, and then dealing Manning's rights to the New York Giants for Philip Rivers and draft picks that he used to take Shawne Merriman and Nate Kaeding.
Eli Manning went on to win two Super Bowls. Rivers has yet to play in one.
Smith's recent drafts produced more busts than impact players, though, as he seemed to live off the fumes of that '04 draft.
Smith could have picked Clay Matthews in 2009 but went with Larry English. In 2010, he moved up 16 spots to draft Ryan Mathews, the heir apparent to Tomlinson. Mathews has been dogged by injuries and fumbles. In his first draft, 2003, Smith could have had Troy Polamalu but chose Sammy Davis instead.
Smith did sign undrafted rookie Antonio Gates in 2003, but he also let Wes Welker go after just one game in 2004.

I have been waiting to nominate
Mountain Goat
Candy Apple Green
since we completed it last year, until this fall. The reason being, is that to get the absolute most out of this cache, it should be done in the fall during the changing colors of the trees. In over two years of caching, this cache has given me one of my all time favorite memories, and it is for sure one of my top five favorite hides. All three of
did this well hidden, clever multi right at the peak of the color change (Oct 4th 2006). The hike was breathtaking, with photo opportunities at every twist and turn of the trail. I can not speak highly enough of this cache. If you haven't done it, this fall is the perfect time to do it. The cool air, with the water below you, and the river banks FILLED with reds, yellows, oranges, purples, greens, and browns. AWESOME! Not to mention, the final hide was placed exactly where I wanted it to be. We found this one in very early October last year. So, if you plan on getting to this one during the peak, you may have to act fast. To me, this is what caching is all about!
Walk on Water
Nominated by
Every so often Ill find a geocache that rises slightly above the best ones Ive encountered lately.
Walk on Water
is one such cache. A first hide by
, Its three and a half star terrain rating could probably be dropped a star on a nice day. I enjoyed it and hope you do too.
Kitchen Cove Cache
Nominated by
I would like to submit
Kitchen Cove Cache
, as October cache of the month. It was hidden by
, who is a very experienced cacher and cache planter in her own right. The cache lends some very interesting hiking, and near climbing, but is friendly for nearly anyone who likes a good hike, especially in the hills around Winona. The area is very beautiful, and the view is gorgeous from the area of the cache, where you can see for miles up and down the Mississippi River, the city of Winona, and Wisconsin. I recommend you take a drive to Winona this month (Oct.) and enjoy the autumn colors and sites of Winona and the surrounding area, and check out
Kitchen Cove Cache
The vote will not start until October 25th to allow everyone time to find the nominated caches. Also, please feel free to post reviews or thoughts on the nominated caches in this thread if you have found them.

Mountain Goat, talk about an older cache that needs to remain in place! I always love caching in that area (who would have known you were in a major metropolis?) and I always loved caches by CAG.
Check out my log and pictures here:
Even though it's three years old, it still holds water as one of the better caches I have done in the area and I highly recommend that others go out and attempt it!
Sad state of affairs.

For those of you entertaining the idea of going after "Mountain Goat, here is an update:
I checked on the cache today, and everything is in perfect shape, but the fall colors are only at about 20 to 30% of peak though. I would give it about a few days to a week to really get the colors going. That would be about the right time for this expected rain to clear up too. Rain and doing this cache is not a good combination. Watch your footings! And for those of you that are bringing children along, we brought our 4 year old along last year, and she had a blast. However, watch them like a hawk! Have fun and GOOD LUCK!

Yesterday Arcticabn, Moe the Sleaze and I headed down to Winona for a short day of caching (6 AM leave from my house and 4:30 arrive back so I could attend the first Minnesota RollerGirls bout of the season). My sole intention was to get Kitchen Cove (brought to my attention via this thread) and after a short discussion with a co-worker this week, nab some awesome photos of both the gorgeous vista views and the fall colors running rampant in SE Minnesota.
Arcticabn, predictably, planned the route around Kitchen Cove and after a quick change to the order after seeing the gorgeous weather in store for us, we were off to find 25 caches most of which were just awesome. Obviously there were some ordinary caches but the day was not overrun with them as they usually seem to be and I ended up getting a great workout and had another excellent day with my friends.
We decided to hit Kitchen Cove first and after realizing that both Moe and I were already familiar with this cache, we headed up the towards the top of the bluff with direction from annakido. The fall colors and the views were fantastic! I spent nearly the entire time after getting near ground zero shaking from my fear while Moe and Arcticabn scaled the bluff nearby like a bunch of monkeys. In the end Arcticabn spotted the cache less than 12" away from the exact spot I had spent the last 15 minutes scared out of my gourd.
After that we did some more caches in Winona and then headed back up Highway 61 towards home. Along the way we stopped at another EXCELLENT cache that everyone should check out if they plan on doing Kitchen Cove,
Eagles eye view
, which offers clear panoramic views from the top of the bluff and which has a lot less scary hike than Kitchen Cove.
Check out my pics from the trip here:
I also have a YouTube video of the panoramic shot here:
Thanks to annakido for giving me another excuse to get back to Winona and do some of the other awesome caches with picturesque views in and around those gorgeous bluffs.
Sad state of affairs.

Most congenital defects happen in the very first few weeks of development. But something that could possibly cause bub to be unhealthy at birth would be if you gave birth too early.
But in the vast amount of cases, I'd say that if bub is healthy at 25 weeks, bub will be healthy at full term.
Warm Regards,

Gesell saw the reforms at Pensacola as a direct result of his own suggestion to a commander.
Many illustrations are brought together in Gesell's study of "Jealousy."
Chairman Gesell circulated a draft report containing these findings and recommendations among committee members in September 1964.
Even while expressing the committee's independence, Gesell recognized Yarmolinsky's influence.
The department was less responsive to the Gesell Committee's recommendations on racial restrictions encountered off base overseas.
Chairman Gesell called the dearth of black officers a "shocking condition."
One cause of this criticism was his connection with the Gesell Committee.

Best Of :: People & Places
"Hotel art" is a phrase that makes many cringe because, well, there's a whole lot of underwhelming abstract prints and landscape scenes to be seen in most hotels. But the Belmont is just too cool for bad art, and that's why the hotel displays art from local talents on the walls of the lobby in their Art with a View series. The hotel has always been a hip destination for poolside parties and now even pop-up shops, but Art with a View brings a certain refinement to the kitschy hotel.
Forget the women up around Northwest Highway — the ones "working their way through college" or whatever. The best stripping act we've seen for years in Dallas came last year when Erykah Badu strolled up to Dealey Plaza and stripped with a purpose at the spot where John F. Kennedy was killed. Oh yeah, then she died (metaphorically, on film). The act was shot as the music video for "Window Seat," the lead single off of Badu's brilliant New Amerykah Pt. 2: Return of the Ankh, and the message was a simple stab at the world we live in: If we let society look through us, if we let others dictate our actions, if we're too scared to show our true selves to the world, then we're killing the best parts about us. The Dallas Police Department didn't think it was a very powerful statement: They slapped Badu with a $500 fine for disorderly conduct after a single complainant, after the video was released (and months after it was filmed), came forward. Our stance? Dallas could use more daring and provocative types like Badu. Progress shouldn't draw a fine.
We don't think we'd offend local NBC affiliate KXAS-TV news anchor Jane McGarry if we called her a cougar — mostly, we think, because she seems to know she is and embrace it. Such is especially true in the social media world of Twitter, where McGarry uses her fairly dirty mind to express herself — and pretty much never on the topic of news. Where would she find the time, between sending flirty tweets to KTCK-AM 1310 The Ticket radio personality Gordon Keith and D Magazine editor Tim Rogers, and flippant innuendo after flippant innuendo? Not long ago she tweeted about a producer pointing out "poles" on the news set. Then she tweeted — and, for reasons we're not altogether sure about, with a winking emoticon — about somehow losing her skirt somewhere. Are we reading too much into this? We don't think so. And, before you accuse us, no, we're not jealous of the other media types getting her attention, either. We just prefer to watch.
They say Deep Ellum is Dallas' premiere neighborhood for music. Well, "they" must never travel down to the just-east-of-downtown neighborhood during the day. With its classic brick wall backdrops, splashy murals and — get this — buildings that are more than 10 years old, Deep Ellum's greatest export these days is most likely its wedding photography. Every single day, it seems, another couple can be seen, dressed in tux and white gown, following a hip-looking, camera-toting cat around the neighborhood, looking for romantic — yet undeniably urban — settings for their wedding photo collections. It's easy to understand why: Shooting your wedding photos in this setting says, "Hey, we're cool! We don't just get our music from Starbucks. Hell, we probably even have tattoos!" True or not, that's a sentiment people like to express about themselves.
Because it's The Mansion. What? You were gonna say something else? Let's hear it then. Didn't think so. Next.
Yes, the Dallas attorney writes about only one thing: Texas Rangers baseball, and all the minor-league properties associated with the big club, but he does it better than anybody — with thoughtfulness, an understanding of the game, an affection for the players and the passion of a fan willing to forgive but critical nevertheless. Sometimes that adds up to greatness. From mid-June: "Reminder to self: It's not easy. It's not supposed to be easy. It wouldn't have the chance to be as great if it were easy." So goeth 40 years of Rangers fandom, and Newberg's been there for all of it as fan, as chronicler. The team's lucky to have him. Guy's money, ball.

Music from Lady Gaga's new album leaked
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga fans are getting what could be their first taste of the star's upcoming album ARTPOP. A snippet of a track called "Feel It" has leaked online, and is rumored to be one of the Mother Monster's new songs.
According to Popcrush.com, the source of the leak is unknown. It's possible that it came from the Versus Versace Party that Gaga made an appearance at last month. "MTV Style" says that the star was the musical director for the exclusive event, and was rumored to have used the opportunity to test out some of her latest work. One fashion blogger there tweeted that there was a strict video and picture restriction, but apparently some music - claiming to be Gaga's - did still find its way online.
But Gaga decided to take off a day off pop star duties on Saturday, to be a bridesmaid in her longtime friend Bo O'Conner's wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Photos of Gaga dressed modestly in a champagne-colored bridesmaid gown have surfaced online.

Why did you activate Monitor Mode?? That serves no purpose at all for "Surfing"
Pffbt..I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass..

RMU Experience
Previously on Real Life @ RMU
Hello, my name is Brieanna and I am one of the new bloggers at RMU. I'm going to get started by telling you some things about me. Well first off I am a freshman, straight out of high school, 2010 graduate. I live in a suburb called Bolingbrook and been living there since kindergarten. I have one little sister named Kennedy and I live with both parents. While I am a student at RMU I am also on the women's track team. I throw weight, discus, javelin, shot put and hammer. I currently hold the weight record for the farthest thrower at RMU and I am just a freshman. I have been doing track since the 7th grade and I love it still till this day. But track is not the only thing that I love.
In school I was always very athletic. I played basketball, track, dance team, volleyball, and I also did ballet and jazz tap dancing. I also like to read and TEXT, and I'm always on Facebook. In my spare time you can usually catch me doing something that has to do with sports, playing with my pet rabbit Oreo, hanging with family or friends or hanging out with my bf of one year. He is definitely my best friend.
So on the subject of my best friend, his name is Cyle and I been with him since my senior year in high school. Cyle and I have been through hell and back but here we are a year later and I am thankful to still have him. We had to go through a lot to figure out who we were together and individually. Now we know each other like we were related. I love him to death and I'm glad I can call him my bf and best friend.
My other best friend is my mother. I can tell her anything and everything. We have so many jokes and she ALWAYS makes me laugh no matter what. It's cool that we have this kind of relationship and it makes everything easier and more fun. I love my mom no matter what and she will always be my best friend and my number one.
Back onto the school subject, my major is surgical technician. This actually wasn't my first choice in a major. When I looked into RMU they told me that they had forensics, but when I came for my financial aid and everything they told me that they didn't have it so the next thing was S.T. I really love everything about forensics and that is my next task to tackle after I graduate from surgical technician.
Some other things about me are that I love to sing and dance. I actually just had my first solo at church a couple of weeks ago. I love video games even if I just watch; I love to watch movies, scary movies in particular. Well that's enough about me and I hope that you enjoyed.
Xoxo, Bware
Next on Real Life @ RMU
So I know Im always talking about my track team and what I do, but its only because I love it. This past weekend was the start of my first outdoor track meet of college. We went down to Ohio where my coach used to go to school; The University of Cincinnati. This was a five to seven hour drive and it was very tiring.
So to go to Ohio I had to get up at 4 in the morning and get myself situated and make sure I was all packed. After I did all that I left with one of my teammates and we walked to where we catch the vans for practice right behind RMU. When it hit six we were ready to get on the road. I instantly fell asleep and somehow woke up when we were in Indiana. Downtown Indiana looks just like downtown Chicago which is why I was confused at first about where I was.
After I looked around I fell back asleep and woke up when we had a break. When we had our break I knew we were close. Once we got to Ohio we got some food then we went to the school. I must say that school is huge! It was a beautiful school, and something I wasnt used to. So while I was looking at the school I was told the hotel was within the school which was really cool to me.
So we put our stuff up and changed and got ready for practice. After practice we got something to eat and had a team bonding moment. After that we just hung out until it was time for lights out. Since I am a thrower I had to be at the buses at 8 because I started my first event at 9. I was extremely nervous but excited. I did ok for my first meet but I still could have done a lot better.
I ended up breaking the hammer record and the shot put record for our school, so I have three records under my belt. I plan on breaking my own records this weekend. Oh I cant forget, on the way home we got some amazing ice cream, never tasted anything like it. But overall I loved this trip and I plan to kick butt this week in Memphis.

RMU Experience
Being at RMU has been a totally different experience. It's not what I thought a college would be like but that's not always a bad thing. When I saw movies and different things on college that was my lasting impression on how college would be but I was definitely in for a big surprise when I got to RMU. I actually like how RMU is different and not a huge college. I like it just the way it is.
One thing that is different to me is how small the classes are. I have one class that only has 6 people in it. When I first thought of college I thought that we would have the big lecture halls with like one hundred or more people in it. When I saw that I had a lecture class I was worried about having that huge class, but when I walked in there was at least 25 or less students in there which was really cool.
Another thing that's different is that RMU is all in the same building. I was definitely getting used to the idea of going to different campuses and possibly getting lost. When I found out that RMU was in the same building I was kind of confused because I had never seen a campus that was only 8 floors. When I finally saw the campus I was kind of disappointed because it was small and wasn't what I had thought, but over time I got accustomed to the feeling of being in a smaller area, and not getting as lost as I would have before.
One thing that I really do like is my track team. I really like track and that's really the best thing about my day. If I had the chance to just do track all day or if track was offered as a class I would definitely do it. I think that I have the best coach ever, and she knows what she's talking about..FINALLY!! I don't mean that in a bad way but a lot of my other coaches didn't actually look into what I was doing wrong and try to correct it, but she takes time to help us so we can get better!
The only thing that I don't like is that I am not living in a dorm. I honestly can't wait till I move into a dorm. I kind of just want to do things on my own for a change. Don't get me wrong, I love living at home and not having to pay anything, but I'm kind of getting tired of it and want to move on. I kind of want to prove that I can do things and live on my own.
Overall I love RMU, and it is a great school. I'm glad that I have the opportunity to go here.

NEW YORK -- President Obama paid tribute to Ambassador Chris Stevens in his address before the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday and called on the international community not to be disheartened by the violence that has spread across the Middle East this month.
In the aftermath of a terrorist attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans and anti-U.S. protests that have gripped the Muslim world, Obama told world leaders that the recent violence is "an assault on the very ideals upon which the United Nations was founded."
"If we are serious about those ideals, we must speak honestly about the deeper causes of this crisis," Obama said. "Because we face a choice between the forces that would drive us apart, and the hopes we hold in common."
PHOTOS: President Obama at the United Nations
Obama called on world leaders to condemn the violence that took the life of Stevens and three other Americans working on behalf of the U.S. mission in Libya.
"Today, we must affirm that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens and not by his killers," Obama said. "Today, we must declare that this violence and intolerance has no place among our United Nations."
In recent days, White House aides have said Obama would use the speech to condemn an incendiary video that portrays the prophet Mohammed as a child molester and his followers as goons. But Obama also used the address to make the point that "no slander ... provides an excuse for people" to kill innocent people.
The president directly addressed critics in the Muslim world who questioned the Obama administration for not forcing YouTube to take down the video or taking action against the filmmakers. He argued that "the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech."
"I know that not all countries in this body share this understanding of the protection of free speech," Obama told world leaders. "Yet in 2012, at a time when anyone with a cellphone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button, the notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete. "
The president also renewed his call for Iran to abandon its suspected nuclear program. Obama faces growing pressure from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to articulate a red line Tehran must not cross with its nuclear program or risk facing a military strike.
GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney has hammered Obama by saying he is not taking the threats in the Middle East seriously. The president used his address to push back against such criticism.
"America wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy, and we believe that there is still time and space to do so," Obama said. "But that time is not unlimited."

Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 10, 2013
NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has completed first-time use of a brush it carries to sweep dust off rocks. Nearing the end of a series of first-time uses of the rover's tools, the mission has cleared dust away from a targeted patch on a flat Martian rock using the Dust Removal Tool.
The tool is a motorized, wire-bristle brush designed to prepare selected rock surfaces for enhanced inspection by the rover's science instruments.
It is built into the turret at the end of the rover's arm. In particular, the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer and the Mars Hand Lens Imager, which share the turret with the brush and the rover's hammering drill, can gain information after dust removal that would not be accessible from a dust-blanketed rock.
Choosing an appropriate target was crucial for the first-time use of the Dust Removal Tool.
The chosen target, called "Ekwir_1," is on a rock in the "Yellowknife Bay" area of Mars' Gale Crater. The rover team is also evaluating rocks in that area as potential targets for first use of the rover's hammering drill in coming weeks.
"We wanted to be sure we had an optimal target for the first use," said Diana Trujillo of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., the mission's activity lead for the Dust Removal Tool.
"We need to place the instrument within less than half an inch of the target without putting the hardware at risk. We needed a flat target, one that wasn't rough, one that was covered with dust.
The results certainly look good." Honeybee Robotics, New York, N.Y., built the Dust Removal Tool for Curiosity, as well as tools for two previous Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, which included wire brushes plus rock-grinding mechanisms.
Images of the brushed area on Ekwir are online here and here.

Amazing to think Reds offered that dude a multiple-year contract. What a stroke of luck that the deal was rejected.

Actually, the Astros are smart to get Coco. Means more losses and chances at elite talents while they are in the early stages of rebuilding.
Brewers lost? Wasn't they winning big?
I think Paul has more hits tonight than Willie Harris and Mike Costanzo combined this whole season...

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking. Contact us for an innovative neuroscience solution to family dysfunction. firstname.lastname@example.com or 877-606-6161.

How Color, the Insanely Ambitious and Well-Funded Social Photo App, Could Win
by Robert Quigley Mar 24th
iPhone and Android, is absurd. It's hard to decide which part is crazier: That a single mobile application raised $41 million from the likes of Sequoia Capital, Bain Capital, and Silicon Valley Bank before it even launched, or that $25 million of that reportedly came just last week after one demonstration. "Nguyen showed Color to Sequoia megapartner Mike Moritz early last week. Within 24 hours Sequoia had committed $25 million and put partner Doug Leone on the board. Moritz, says Nguyen, "got the 'wow' moment of doing something together, not a day after like on Facebook", Forbes reports. Apart from the bona fides of Ngyuen and his six well-credentialed co-founders, who include BillShrink founder Peter Pham and former LinkedIn chief scientist DJ Patil, what do all of these smart investors see in a single-app company whose first overtures to the public have been weirdly restaurant-centric? FastCompany: "'When I go to a restaurant or public event or cafe, don't I want to know some of these people around me?" [Nguyen] says. 'We thought we could build something that would allow you to get to know everyone else that is not already your Facebook friend.'" TechCrunch: "Say you walk into a restaurant with twenty people in it. You sit down at a table with four friends, and start chatting. Then one of your friends pulls out their phone, fires up Color, and takes a snapshot of you and your buddies. That photo is now public to anyone within around 100 feet of the place it was taken. So if anyone else in the restaurant fires up Color, they'll see the photograph listed in a stream alongside other photos that have recently been taken in the vicinity." Forbes again: "The potential business model for now (and it is sure to change) is charging stores and restaurants for the right to show their Color photos in people's streams based on time and a user's location." But those $41 million aren't really about breaking the ice between early-adopter strangers in restaurants, are they? Read More

GSA Building Wins White House Environmental Award
June 13, 2008
Contact: MaryAnne Beatty, (202) 501-1231
Melissa Williams, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON – The U.S. General Service Administration's San Francisco Federal Building, dedicated in July 2007, has won a prestigious 2008 White House Closing the Circle Award.
The GSA facility, declared a "model of sustainable architecture," was among 15 winners and 14 honorable mentions selected by the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive from nearly 200 nominations across the nation.
"This is a wonderful honor," said Acting Administrator David Bibb, also GSA's chief environmental official. "The San Francisco Federal Building demonstrates that we can co-exist with our environment in spectacular fashion, and that we are committed to the world outside our buildings as well as the workers within."
The San Francisco Federal Building is an 18-story, 240–foot office tower that has also been listed among Time Magazine's top 10 "Architectural Marvels." A dramatic example of sustainable design principles, the building's unique shape and orientation maximize natural airflow for cooling and ventilation and take advantage of natural daylight for most office interiors. These features, combined with a number of other energy-saving elements, significantly reduce overall energy consumption compared to conventional offices buildings.
Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment while improving the comfort of building occupants, thereby improving building performance. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, support and create healthy, productive environments.
The White House Closing the Circle Awards program is required by Executive Order 13423, Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy and Transportation Management, and recognizes outstanding Federal environmental stewardship. More than 200 awards have been given since 1996 for innovative, cost-effective contributions in increasing the purchase of recycled content, biobased, and environmentally preferable products and services.
GSA, which provides superior workplaces for a million federal employees across the U.S. is responsible for the design, construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal of thousands of federally owned properties.
GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.
Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 208,000 vehicles.
GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? Twenty-five percent of GSA's owned buildings are historic.

1 Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,*
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
worship the Lord in holy splendour.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord, over mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
and Sirion like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl,*
and strips the forest bare;
and in his temple all say, Glory!
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits enthroned as king for ever.
11 May the Lord give strength to his people!
May the Lord bless his people with peace!

People aspire to certain professions because these professions often hold deeply personal significance. However, for the people I work with, there is often a discrepancy between what they had hoped they would be doing and what they actually do for a living. It may be meaningful in that they have been able to support a family but holds less meaning when examined from a personal perspective. Some of the most interesting work I have done is with people who resumed their quest for an authentic, meaningful professional life in their fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties because they realized no matter how old they were that the work they did was vitally significant.

The resurrection: the connection re-established between Jesus and the remnant
The last chapter is divided into two parts -- a fact that has even given rise to questions as to the authenticity of verses 9-20. The first part of the chapter, verses 1-8, relates the end of the history in connection with the re-establishment of that which has always been before us in this Gospel -- the relationship of the Prophet of Israel, and of the kingdom with the people (or at least with the remnant of the chosen people). The disciples, and Peter, whom the Lord individually acknowledges in spite (yea, in grace, because) of his denial of his Master, were to go and meet Him in Galilee, as He said unto them. There the connection was re-established between Jesus in resurrection and the poor of the flock, who waited for Him (they alone being recognised as the people before God). The women say nothing to any others. The testimony of Christ risen was committed only to His disciples, to these despised Galileans. Fear was the means employed by the providence of God to prevent the women speaking of it, as they would naturally have done.
The message sent by Mary Magdalene; the disciples' commission to every creature
Verses 9-20. This is another testimony. The disciples do not appear here as an elect remnant, but in the unbelief natural to man. The message is sent to the whole world. Mary Magdalene, formerly possessed by seven demons the absolute slave of that dreadful power -- is employed to communicate the knowledge of His resurrection to the companions of Jesus. Afterwards Jesus Himself appears to them, and gives them their commission. He tells them to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. It is no longer specifically the gospel of the kingdom. Whosoever throughout the world believed and joined Christ by baptism should be saved: he who believed not should be condemned. It was a question of salvation or condemnation -- the believer saved, he who refused the message condemned. Moreover, if any one was convinced of the truth but refused to unite with the disciples confessing the Lord, his case would be so much the worse. Therefore it is said, "he who believeth and is baptised." Signs of power should accompany believers, and they should be preserved from that of the enemy.
