Terrible Ruling: Forwarding A Link Can Be Considered Defamation
from the section-230-anyone? dept
While the case before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas revolved around William Perry's bankruptcy proceedings, the court relied on Texas law to determine that e-mail messages Perry sent linking to websites that made false and defamatory statements about Sugar Land, Texas, mayor David Wallace met the "actual malice" standard a public official needs to bring a defamation claim, according to the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press.The article quotes someone from the EFF, which suggests that Perry didn't even raise a Section 230 defense, which would be unfortunate, if true.
Perry only included the links to the posts, which he did not write, in the e-mail--none of his own comments. He was found to have made some comments orally about how the blog might affect Wallace's career.
This is a horrible ruling in so many ways. Think about the possible impact. How many times do people pass around links via email, Facebook, Twitter or some other method? Based on this ruling, if a particular article is found to be defamatory, everyone who passed along a link to that article may now be open to liability for the defamation in the article. That's downright scary.

Barbara Dress
Added Oct 5, 2013
by alekat
Sydney, Australia
After taking my time to make this, I have finally finished my Barbara Hulanicki inspired dress. It's soft and feminine and even if it's really more 70s than 60s, I must argue – for its inspiration comes from one of the great ladies of the 60s – Barbara Hulanicki
The idea for this dress came when I saw the fabric itself – a black polyester chiffon with tiny gold foil print. The colours reminded me of Big Biba and the fabric design reminded me of the more 60s Biba dresses
My version is black chiffon, lined with black crepe – here was the original idea;
Dress with fitted bodice, a-line skirt, gathered shoulders with bishop sleeves and buttoned cuffs.
Bodice underlined with black crepe, with sleeves to remain unlined. Cuffs to be lined in organza to keep the lightness
Zippered back, hem just above knee length
All of these elements were achieved apart from the puffed shoulders. The sleeve pattern piece I used was for a set-in sleeve and I assumed I could just push all the gathering to the top of the shoulder, but because the sleeve is actually the same size as the arm-hole no gathering was needed! So I settled for set in sleeves and I'm ok with that.
The lining was also used as the facing for the neck line. I ended up attempting something I really didn't know how to do! The bodice was fine but I forgot to do the darts separately – you can only see them on the inside anyway.
Then I attached the skirt to the bodice and inserted the zipper in the back before joining it all together. I may have done it in the wrong order trying to be fancy and sewing the bodice as one piece. The French seams also threw me off – trying to do that, while inserting the zipper on two layers of fabric. Oh my head! At least black fabric is forgiving and you can't see the random open seams!
The sleeves are a little too short and make bending my arms a little tricky – just like the original Biba dresses which stopped their wearers from reaching and bending, ha!
But this was unintentional – The too small cuffs stop the sleeves from moving up and down my arm easily so I have to kind of change the way I move my arm for that day when I wear it
I lined the cuffs with black organza instead of interfacing. It gives lightness to the cuff and keeps its transparency with the chiffon. You simply sew the organza onto the fabric piece before you construct it. Exactly the same as sew-in interfacing but you're not restricted by the lack of colours and opaqueness
The hems were finished with rolled hems, also called narrow hems. I used this technique because the length of the skirt was perfect and I didn't want to loose too many cm. It's also another good seam for chiffon and light fabrics as it doesn't affect the hang.
Most sewing machines come with a special foot to achieve this, but mastering it takes some practice. These seams look neat – but you should see the start of the hem stitch – it's not so neat
Thanks for looking in – you can see more 60s style sewing on my blog

willow brauchte ein neues Briefpapier Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 77 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
I have my logo- now I need help incorporating it into a very professional, contemporary but timeless, and elegant design for business cards, letterhead, envelopes, a 8.5x11 trifold brochure, and a 5x7 one-sided card announcing the opening of my practice. Nothing flashy! I see both male and female clients in my practice, so nothing too feminine.
Use my existing tree logo, with either the text part of the logo or name "Caas Wilkor, MFT"
Change from Transition, Growth from Change (open to using something besides a comma in between)
Desired Color Scheme:
Use colors in tree logo (dark sage-like green, light sage-like green) and soft white (nothing that looks yellowy).
Desired Style:
Professional, contemporary but timeless, classy, upscale, not too feminine
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
I am a psychotherapist opening my private practice and need an identity package incorporating my existing logo. I see adults and children and specialize in helping people through life transitions.
File format: I need to make sure that I will be able to access/change all layers of the design as needed. (For example, I will need to be able to change the office address, etc, when I change offices.) I only have Photoshop, so I need a file format I can open in Photoshop that lets me access all layers. I'd like a vector file.
For business cards: I'd like rounded edges. Open to vertical or horizontal format. Feel free to use the back of the card too but only something small (like maybe the tree part of my logo). The color of the back of the card will need to be light enough that I can still write on the back of the cards as needed.
For letterhead: I prefer not to have a transparent design in the main space of the page like I've seen on many designs. I like white space where there will be text.
For envelope: Only use the tree part of the logo, not the name part of the logo.
Logo: I own the copyright to my logo. The logo consists of a tree and some text of my name. I have two different versions of the tree, both of which I will email upon request (don't know how to include them here). I am open to only using the tree and having the text part of the logo changed up and incorporated into the design in a different way. Also, I really like the tree logo, but I am open to you tweaking it if you think it'd look better. I'm not sure how to upload my logo, so please email me for it email@example.com. Please also note I have changed the name in the logo and the tagline for anonymity's sake. The real name and tagline will be substituted once the winner is chosen. To aid in design, the name shown has the same number of letters and initials as the real name, and the tagline has the same number of words.
Font used in text part of logo: Lucida Grande and Pristina. I am not attached to the Lucida, so feel free to use any sans-serif you think would look better, but I would like to use Pristina for the word "Psychotherapy" so whatever you choose needs to look good with it. I want the Pristina font used sparingly, though, so probably best to only use it for the word "Psychotherapy" and nowhere else.
For business cards, letterhead, and practice announcement - please include lines for telephone, email, web, and office address.
STATIONARY: I would greatly appreciate it if you could present your designs on the following stationary items so I can really visualize it: business card, envelope, letterhead, brochure, 5x7 practice announcement. In your submitted designs, please list what color codes are used, since I'm not sure my monitor is correctly calibrated.
As recommended by 99designs, I will also require: a signed contract from the winning designer assigning copyright to me and warranting the originality of the work before issuing payment.
Many thanks ahead of time to all the great designers out there - and detailed feedback will be given to all designs that meet the above criteria.

News and Events: Press releases
UNICEF: Despite progress, women still subjected to widespread violence and discrimination
WASHINGTON, D.C., 8 March 2006 -- Despite great progress for women in the past several decades, women throughout the world are still subjected to discrimination, violence and exploitation, UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman said today.
Around the globe today, especially in developing countries, girls and women suffer in silence out of range of the cameras and off societys radar, Veneman said, giving the keynote address at the Annual International Womens Day Luncheon in Washington, D.C. In too many nations and regions, women are still devalued and denied or treated as second-class citizens. They are the victims of gross inequity or all too often, much worse.
Stressing the critical link between equality for women and development progress, Veneman drew attention to widespread abuse and exploitation of women and children, such as the sexual violence committed in armed conflict, trafficking, and practices such as honour killings, dowry crimes, early marriage, and female genital cutting/mutilation.
Violence against women is the extreme form of inequality, and it is hard to think of an act against women that can be more damaging or enduring than sexual violence, Veneman said.
Noting that sexual violence is not limited to any particular country or culture, Veneman said it takes on new dimensions in developing countries and conflict zones. During the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, 500,000 women were raped and beaten, often by men known to have HIV, Veneman said.
Veneman told the gathering about some of the girls and women she met last week in the Democratic Republic of Congo who had been sexually assaulted. They included a 12-year-old girl, an orphan, who went to collect firewood and was raped and beaten by four men in the bush and a 60-year-old woman who was tied up and raped and beaten by two soldiers who attacked her when she went to the field to look for food for her family.
Rape as a weapon of war is used to terrify and demoralize communities, to exact vengeance on the men through the women, or because too many perpetrators simply believe they can do so with impunity, Veneman said.
She also drew attention to female genital mutilation, which is practiced in many countries and has severe and lasting physical effects. Globally, an estimated 100 to 140 million women have undergone the procedure and an estimated 3 million girls are subjected to the practice every year.
The nature and scale of violence against children globally will be detailed in the Secretary-Generals Study on Violence Against Children to be published in October 2006. The study is being developed in close consultation with UNICEF, which supports programmes throughout the world to protect children from violence, abuse and exploitation.
Veneman also stressed the importance of education, particularly for girls. When girls are educated, they are more likely to be able to protect themselves from disease, including HIV/AIDS, as well as from abuse and exploitation.
A society cannot possibly marginalize half its population and expect positive outcomes, she said. The empowerment of women is not just an issue for women, it is an issue for everyone.
The Annual International Womens Day Luncheon is organized by the United Nations Information Centre, the UN Foundation, the U.S. Fund for UNICEF as well as UN agencies and NGOs.
For 60 years UNICEF has been the worlds leader for children, working on the ground in 155 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence. The worlds largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.

text: Taki and Molly Kitamura: Amsterdam Adventure By Molly and Takahiro "Horitaka" Kitamura We love Amsterdam! Taki had been commissioned to do a promotion for Bacardi Rum's new flavor, and as part of the commission they flew Taki out there (with me in-tow) to do a few tattoos... The first night we took a beautiful ride along the canals in boats and ate at a marvelous French/Moroccan fused restaurant owned by a Dutch-famed, sleeved-out restaurateur, Casper Reinders. Taki later tattooed a tiger's head and snake's head on each of his outer wrists... The dinner was amazing, my foie gras tortellini in a fig sauce was to die for and Taki had a Wagyu beef burger topped with buttery foie gras that was insane, truly decadent eats! The next four days seemed to fly by. We visited Gideon from Cold Skin Tattoo Supplies who kindly lent us equipment and of course we also stopped to chat with Hanky Panky, Chris Danley, Molly, Danny-boy and his wife, Tizi at the tattoo museum. The tattoo museum was incredible and incredibly huge! This multi-level complex stores one of the largest personal collections of tattoo-related relics, paintings and artifacts I have ever seen. There is also the studio, gift shop and even a café. They are just getting started with the rest of the property and I can't wait to see it in the future; it is truly a unique institution. All in all we had a blast, Taki tattooed his ass off at the Bacardi House right in the middle of the Red Light!!! He had multiple interviews with local blogs and news stations. He even did a radio show and we got sleep in when we could. It was a crazy experience that we won't forget any time soon. We met so many cool people, caught up with some loved ones and Taki made some fun tattoos, so I guess you could say it was a success all around!

- TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND ENFORCEMENT.-The Secretary shall-
- provide technical assistance to local educational agencies, parents, and Indian tribes to enable such agencies, parents, and tribes to carry out this section; and
- enforce this section through such actions, which may include the withholding of funds, as the Secretary determines to be appropriate, after affording the affected local educational agency, parents, and Indian tribe an opportunity to present their views.
- Any tribe, or its designee, which has students in attendance at a local educational agency may, in its discretion and without regard to the requirements of any other provision of law, file a written complaint with the Secretary regarding any action of a local educational agency taken pursuant to, or relevant to, the requirements of this section.
- Within ten working days from receipt of a complaint, the Secretary shall-

- CONSOLIDATION. -In all actions under this subsection, the Secretary shall have discretion to consolidate complaints involving the same tribe or local educational agency.
- WITHHOLDING. -If the local educational agency rejects the determination of the Secretary, or if the remedy required is not undertaken within the time established and the Secretary determines that an extension of the time established will not effectively encourage the remedy required, the Secretary shall withhold payment of all moneys to which such local agency is eligible under section 8003 until such time as the remedy required is undertaken, except where the complaining tribe or its designee formally requests that such funds be released to the local educational agency, except that the Secretary may not withhold such moneys during the course of the school year if the Secretary determines that such withholding would substantially disrupt the educational programs of the local educational agency.
- REJECTION OF DETERMINATION. -If the local educational agency rejects the determination of the Secretary and a tribe exercises the option under section 1101(d) of the Education Amendments of 1978, to have education services provided either directly by the Bureau of Indian Affairs or by contract with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, any Indian students affiliated with that tribe who wish to remain in attendance at the local educational agency against whom the complaint which led to the tribal action under such subsection (d) was lodged may be counted with respect to that local educational agency for the purpose of receiving funds under section 8003. In such event, funds under such section shall not be withheld pursuant to paragraph (8) and no further complaints with respect to such students may be filed under paragraph (1).
- CONSTRUCTION. -This section is based upon the special relationship between the Indian nations and the United States and nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve any State of any duty with respect to any citizens of that State.

Linebacker makes verbal commitment
Williams High School linebacker / running back Jaylin Jeffries met his self-imposed deadline to accept a football scholarship offer before the season began by giving a verbal commitment to play for Old Dominion this week.
�I knew I needed to make a decision before football season started so I knew I had that scholarship waiting for me,� Jeffries said Friday. �It has just been a blessing.�
Jeffries projects to be an outside linebacker for the Monarchs, who have a relatively new program and are future members of Conference USA. Old Dominion is 38-10 in four seasons since resurrecting football, playing the past two years in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
Jeffries, 17, said his decision came down to Old Dominion, which is located in Norfolk, Va., or Ball State, which is directed by former Elon University coach Pete Lembo and located in Muncie, Ind.
�I had to pick between there and Ball State. I felt more at home at Old Dominion,� he said. �I went down there and felt more of a family. If I could see myself going there without football and being involved and I could do things with my academics.�
Jeffries, who�s a two-time Times-News All-Region linebacker, also had offers from Elon and James Madison. He picked up the James Madison offer while attending North Carolina�s camp last month in Chapel Hill. He also attended camps at North Carolina State and Duke.
�I think he has approached this process in the right way,� Williams coach David Green said. �He did his research. He has really taken a sound approach to the process. He went to the camps. � The way recruiting pretty much works nowadays, the larger schools like the ACC and SEC schools are going to have their offers out before the season.
�Jaylin had a real positive outlook and he was really appreciative of the offers he received.�
Jeffries said he sent a highlight tape to Old Dominion in January and that initiated the process. Things accelerated after Old Dominion assistant coach Ron Whitcomb visited to Burlington and verified Jeffries� size (now 6-foot, 215 pounds).
Jeffries made a recent second trip to Norfolk.
�I went once during the spring and then I went to Ball State two weekends ago,� he said. �And just because Ball State was fresh in my mind, I went back to Old Dominion so I could really compare.�
Green said Old Dominion has taken remarkable steps in terms of facilities in restarting its program.
�It�s a good thing for him to get in with a program that�s headed in the right direction,� Green said.
Jeffries also gained 1,303 rushing yards and scored 21 touchdowns last year for Williams. He said he anticipates a similar role this year.
�The same thing I did last year � running back, linebacker and punting,� he said.

A familiar face has been seen in Allen Arena for much of the summer.
Adnan Hodzic, who won numerous awards for his play with the Lipscomb men's basketball team, including Atlantic Sun Player of the Year for 2009-2010, has been working out and playing in late afternoon scrimmage games in preparation to his return to Europe.
Actually, he might not be all that familiar to Lipscomb basketball fans. He has lost almost 20 pounds, sports a full beard and has changed his playing style.
After being a dominating player in the A-Sun Hodzic had to learn how to do deal with the many different aspects of the way the game of basketball is played in Europe.
"My life has changed in every way," Hodzic said. "Athletically, it has changed. I play basketball as a job. I have had to learn new things and not necessarily the easiest way. I went through some tough times, but I prevailed over them."
At Lipscomb, where he was a three-time All-Atlantic Sun First-Team selection, an Associated Press All-American and the leading scorer in the NCAA era, he only had to turn and shoot from the post position and be in place for rebounds.
"Over there you have to learn how to play the pick and roll," Hodzic said. "Big men are looked at like point guards. You have to learn the pick-and-roll because that is 90 percent of the offense. The big men are play makers.
"You have to learn how to dissect defenses. Your I.Q. has to be really high to play over there. It is a very slow game. They are very fundamentally sound and very tactical."
Hodzic needed the first half of the season to fully adjust to the league. He has always been known for his work ethic, but he admits he needed assistance from a higher power as well.
"My faith in the Lord skyrocketed," Hodzic said. "I have really learned to lean on him. Just like he promises, he didn't let me down. He lifted me up and I finished strong. The Lord has changed me more than anything."
The transition to European basketball was similar to what Hodzic experienced when he stepped up from high school to college basketball. He finished the 35-game season averaging approximately 10 points and five rebounds per game.
"I am very happy with the year I had," Hodzic said. "Over there you don't find anybody averaging 20 points a game. The leading scorers on our team averaged 12 points a game. During the second half of the season I put up good numbers.
"When I got comfortable I was able to be dominant on the blocks. They were bigger and slower than me on the blocks. I was more athletic. My strength and endurance are high. I give God all the glory for that."
Hodzic played last season for the Walter Tigers, based in Tubingen, Germany. He has not signed a contract with a team for the 2012-2013 German BBL League. Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson thinks it would be an advantage for Hodzic if he can return to his old team.
"Like a lot of guys Adnan has to be comfortable in his environment before he can maximize his ability," Sanderson said. "When he first went over there he struggled early on as he was learning how to play that system. He is familiar with that coach and the system. I don't know that playing for another team and having to learn something completely different would be the most beneficial thing for him."
Having coached Hodzic all four years at Lipscomb, Sanderson has not been surprised to see Hodzic in the arena working out both mornings and afternoons.
"He is always trying to learn," Sanderson said. "There is more than one way to play basketball. He is playing more on the perimeter in Europe. He has played on different spots on the floor."
When Hodzic was recruited to play at Lipscomb the spiritual aspects of the campus were not an attraction for him. He admits he was somewhat cynical about those who were talking to him about the Bible and the need to turn his life over to God.
"I had not been around that in my life," Hodzic said. "When I came to Lipscomb I was with people who genuinely cared about me and loved me. It wasn't fake. It was real. It made me think.
"It was no coincidence that I came to Lipscomb. The Lord knows what he is doing. He plans everything out."
In May Hodzic's life changed again when he married the former Courtney Williams, a former Lipscomb soccer player, in a ceremony in Terre Haute, Ind. They had attended the same high school, North Central, in Indianapolis, but really didn't get to know each other until they both started attending Lipscomb.
"Our high school was so big," Hodzic said. "We knew of each other, but didn't know each other personally. We started hanging out here and became friends."
Europe is the next stop, but don't be surprised if Hodzic finds a way to return to Nashville on a more permanent basis.
"I would maybe like to play another 10 years," Hodzic said. "Our fans were great.
"I would like for us to move to Nashville someday. We love a lot of people here. I love this environment. I love this school. I love this city."

Stanislas Wawrinka has bowed out in round one of the Swiss Indoors event after losing to Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 6-3 on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old has failed to surpass the first-round of his home event on four other occasions in his career, but this exit carries the additional setback of seriously denting his chances of qualifying for the ATP World Tour Finals in London next month.
Wawrinka played nowhere near his best tennis against Roger-Vasselin and sealed his early departure from the tournament within barely an hour, having lost his serve once in both sets.
Although the Swiss is currently eligible to play in the London event, the world number eight is closely pursued in the mens rankings by Frenchmen Richard Gasquet and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
It will take a miraculous effort from Wawrinka to book his place in the prestigious tournament; requiring a career-best run in next week's qualifying series in Paris to secure his hopes of making the cut.

To report an emergency in progress, call 911.
The District requested the study to:
The ARB, in August 1998, had designated diesel particulate matter as a toxic air contaminant.
Diesel engines emit a complex mixture of air pollutants, composed of gaseous and solid material. The visible emissions in diesel exhaust are known as particulate matter, or PM, which includes carbon particles or "soot". The Study results indicated high concentrations of diesel PM in an area surrounding the Rail yard. The level of health risk associated with these PM emissions depends on length of exposure and proximity to the yard. Further questions regarding the Study can be found on the District Questions and Answers webpage.
October 14, 2004 APCD Board of Directors Meeting Information
On December 9, 2004 the District's Board of Directors approved Resolution #04-21 authorizing the Chairman and the APCO to sign an Agreement with UPRR regarding mitigation measures and air monitoring for the Roseville Rail Yard. The Agreement that was signed has three main components:
On April 14, 2005, the District's Board of Directors received a briefing on the mitigation measures that were being evaluated for implementation at the rail yard. The mitigation measures were targeted for implementation over three calendar years (2005, 2006, 2007), and specific to the Agreement in §2A(iv) is the requirement that "progress reports towards achieving the emissions reductions specified in section A (i) shall be presented to the District Board and community by the end of the calendar years 2005, 2006, and 2007." The commitment is for at least a 10% reduction of particulate matter emissions by the end of 2007 from the baseline year (1999-2000).
April 14, 2005 APCD Board of Directors Meeting Information
On December 8, 2005, the District Board of Directors received a comprehensive review of District involvement with the rail related activities at the Roseville Rail Yard leading up to and including the current status of the various elements of our Agreement for mitigation and air monitoring with Union Pacific. The Board has been updated frequently regarding portions of elements, however this report combines all the information to date into one document.

This report was prepared as an element of work sponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency via grant funding managed by the Placer County Air Pollution Control District. The purpose of this special study is to augment a more comprehensive elemental and organic analysis of aerosol samples collected during the summer of 2005 for locomotive diesel exhaust in Roseville, California. These samples were analyzed for particle sizes, metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), n-alkanes, sugars, and fatty acids. The results show that the particles collected by the samples were in the very fine to ultra-fine size fraction which is similar to diesel truck results presented in the literature. And the samples had higher concentration of PAHs than diesel truck emissions that are the basis of many risk assessments. The complete report can be downloaded below.

August 20, 2009 – APCD Board of Director Meeting Information
On August 20, 2009, the District Board of Directors approved a contract with Sierra Research, Inc. to conduct a project which will evaluate computer modeled diesel particulate matter (DPM) levels around the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) - Roseville Rail Yard in comparison to monitored DPM levels. This follow-up research study is based upon the Roseville Rail Yard Air Monitoring Project (RRAMP). The RRAMP was a four-year (2005-2008) air monitoring study of the air pollutant impacts emanating from the UPRR Roseville Rail Yard facility. The proposed project results will help to quantify the level of potential bias in the air dispersion model for future modeling analysis and provide useful information regarding the interpretation of data collected in the RRAMP.
December 10, 2009 – APCD Board of Director Meeting Information
On December 10, 2009, the District Board of Directors received a comprehensive final report for the Roseville Rail Yard Air Monitoring Project (RRAMP) along with the final updates of the 2004 UPRR/PCAPCD Agreement (Agreement) for mitigation plan, and the grant program with Union Pacific. This report is the culmination of four years of air monitoring and analysis of the data collected from the JR Davis Union Pacific Rail Yard site located in Roseville and the summary of mitigation measures and the grant program. The results of RRAMP confirm that mitigation measures agreed to by UPRR in a 2004 Agreement have been met.
October 13, 2011 - APCD Board of Director's Meeting
On October 13, 2011, the APCD Board were presented with a final report on the evaluation of air dispersion modeling results compared to air monitoring concentration measurements at the JR Davis Union Pacific Rail Yard. The complete report can be found at this link: UPRR Modeling Evaluation Study. The Board memo and accompanying documents can be found on the Board of Directors page.

All News Releases By Date
EPA grant supports environmental education projects in Mid-Atlantic communities including Wilmington, Del.
Release Date: 02/22/2013
Contact Information: Terri White (215) 814-5523
(PHILADELPHIA Feb. 22, 2013) The National Nursing Centers Consortium (NNCC) will provide an estimated $92,000 in funding to support community-based environmental education projects in 11 mid-Atlantic communities, including Wilmington, Del., the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced today.
Aimed at empowering people to take better care of their local environment, the projects are funded via a $150,000 EPA grant to NNCC to support environmental education efforts throughout the mid-Atlantic region. The sub-grants announced today are the first of two rounds to be awarded.
"NNCC's environmental education programs have a proven track record of reducing environmental risks that threaten the health of children and underserved communities disproportionately," said EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin. "I congratulate all of the awardees as they take this important work to the next level."
"As a leader in children's environmental health, NNCC is very excited to work with EPA and to use our more than decade-long experience in helping grantees reach the program's goals of increasing knowledge and awareness of environmental issues and increasing the number of students, teachers and community members taking responsible actions regarding the environment," said Tine Hansen-Turton , NNCC's executive director. "There is no doubt that these grants will have a tremendous impact in our region, reaching more than 2,000 people, many of whom are from disadvantaged communities, and will help both them and our environment for decades to come."
There are 15 projects receiving EPA funding between $4,000-$5,000 for environmental learning and stewardship work in communities located in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne hit the red carpet together at a charity event over the weekend, and the reunion has many wondering whether the couple is officially back together.
"The Talk's" Sharon Osbourne, who's been married to the rocker since 1982, split with him last month because of his substance abuse issues and reports that he had fallen off the wagon.
Once tabloid articles on their relationship status hit a fever pitch, Ozzy, 64, said that he and Sharon were not divorcing by posting a candid Facebook post on the matter and that his drinking and substance abuse were taking a toll on the ones he loved the most. Soon afterward, Sharon admitted to their long-running struggles on her talk show.

"Everybody knows he's been struggling with this [substance abuse] his entire life and I never knew that he was using prescription drugs. I knew he was drinking occasionally, but I didn't realize to the extent. It's our business — we're dealing with it; we're not getting divorced," she said. "However, am I happy? No. Am I upset? Yes I am — I'm devastated right now."
The couple is said to have been living separately too, and Sharon reportedly said that she wouldn't move back in with her husband until he proved he was clean and sober.
However, on Saturday night, the couple attended "An Evening With Women," a benefit for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. They went to the event with daughter Kelly Osbourne of "Fashion Police" and are said to have met for lunch earlier in the day, according to TMZ, which reported that they got cozy over the meal.
Then, in front of tons of shutterbugs, Ozzy planted a huge kiss on his wife's cheek as they were walking the red carpet, with Kelly looking on with glee.
According to Britain's The Sun, assistants were spotted moving the Black Sabbath's singer's things back from his Beverly Hills home to Sharon's mansion.
Whether or not they've reconciled, looks like these two are at least working on things together.

Everyone likes to buy something on sale, and investors are no different. Value investors have long looked for beaten down stocks that they think have been unfairly punished by the market and are poised to bounce back. Of course, a stock's price usually falls for a reason, and it can sometimes take quite a while for a company to turn itself around and increase its stock price, if it is able to do so at all. Still, the upside potential to this strategy can be great, as demonstrated by the likes of Warren Buffett and Peter Lynch.
One of the issues common-stock investors face when waiting for a downtrodden stock to rebound is that their capital is tied up and unavailable for other, possibly more productive, uses. However, financial instruments, such as warrants, can help mitigate this problem. A warrant is a derivative security that gives its holder the right to buy another security (typically equity) at a specific price within a specific time frame. Warrants are similar to call options, but warrants are issued by the company whose equity is the underlying security, as opposed to call options, which are exchange instruments not issued by the underlying company. Additionally, the time period attached to warrants is typically much longer than that of call options (think years rather than months).
The good news about warrants is that they give the holder exposure to the underlying security for a fraction of the price of buying the stock directly. The downside, however, is that warrants tend to be more volatile than the underlying stock and can expire worthless if the equity security declines in price. For example, say you spent $10 on a warrant with a strike price of $40 and a five-year time frame. Let's also assume that the underlying stock traded at $35 a share when you purchased the warrant. In order to turn a profit, the stock would have to increase in price by a minimum of $15 a share (to $50 a share) over the next five years. Any price increase of less than $15 would result in a net loss. Moreover, you would lose your entire $10 investment if the stock failed to rise to the $40 strike price.
Despite the added risk, warrants may be a good option for long-term investors that are bullish on battered stocks or sectors. One such sector that comes to mind is banks and financial companies. Many of these institutions were hit hard during the financial crisis, and some of their stock prices have yet to return to pre-recession levels. For investors anticipating a more vigorous recovery in financials over the coming years, warrants may be a good option.
The Value Line Convertible Survey covers about 80 warrants, including those of financial institutions like Bank of America (BAC – Free Bank of America Stock Report), Capital One (COF), Hartford Financial (HIG), JPMorgan Chase (JPM – Free JPMorgan Stock Report), and Wells Fargo (WFC). Moreover, the common stocks of these companies are covered in the Value Line Investment Survey. Subscribers can use these two resources to find their favorite risk/reward scenarios, though we believe that warrants on timely JPMorgan Chase shares are particularly attractive.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. is a global financial services firm with operations in over 60 nations. Its businesses include investment banking, treasury and securities services, asset management, commercial banking, retail financial services, card services, and private equity investment. The company's net loan losses were 3.81% of its average loans in 2010. On March 31, 2011, its loan loss reserve was 4.34% of loans and its nonperforming assets (excluding 90-day past due) amounted to 2.18%.
JPMorgan reduced loan loss reserves in its credit card and investment banking businesses by a combined $2.5 billion in the March quarter, reflecting lower bad loans and declining credit card losses. As economic activity strengthens, Value Line analyst Theresa Brophy believes that Morgan's loan losses should fall further, but given the significant cuts in reserves in the past year, loan loss provisions in 2011 may not decline as much as in 2010.
All told, the reserve reductions, strong trading income, and higher profits in the commercial bank, treasury/securities services, and asset management divisions more than offset a loss in the mortgage business, caused by foreclosure and mortgage servicing expenses. Moreover, Ms. Brophy thinks that the better-than-expected opening-period performance puts JPMorgan on track to earn a record $5.00 a share in 2011 and looks for a 10% advance in 2012. She notes that mortgage expenses probably will stay fairly high over the rest of 2011, but may moderate in 2012. Retail banking revenue should benefit from an expanded branch network and salesforce, while the investment banking business still has good share positions in its markets and should perform well, even though trading revenue may not stay as strong as in the March quarter. Ms. Brophy goes on to say that the commercial banking, treasury/securities services, and asset management businesses are smaller but generally steady contributors to consolidated results, and that stock repurchases will likely lift share net in 2011 and 2012.
Looking further out, JPMorgan has identified a number of opportunities to grow over the long haul, including expanding internationally and increasing business loan production in the former Washington Mutual branches. Higher interest rates also should boost results. Given all this, Ms. Brophy estimates that JPMorgan stock will trade in the $65- to $95-a-share range over the pull to 2014-2016. Consequently, the bank's outstanding 2018 warrants could potentially be a profitable investment. The warrant with a strike price of $42.42 trades at about $13.07 a share, and the underlying stock is trading around $40.80 a share. Therefore, the issue would have to rise about 36% (to $55.49) over the next three to five years to become a profitable investment. Investors willing to wait out any recovery in the common may be well served by an investment in JPMorgan's 2018 warrant.

A Brazilian woman misled everyone, including her own husband, about the gender of her daughter, whom she raised as a boy for two years.
After being discharged from the hospital, the mother scratched off the mark in the "female" box on the birth certificate and checked off "male," instead. This forgery was taken at face value by the registry office in Central Brazil, which resulted in the girl being officially registered as a boy. The baby was christened "Samuel," dressed in boys' clothes and given a short haircut and boys' toys to play with.
Plus: Parents Keep Child's Gender Secret for 5 Years
The ruse was discovered when the child's aunt became suspicious and peeked into the girl's diaper while holding the baby at a family gathering. The rest of the family never had any doubts that the baby was a boy. "It was a huge shock for everyone," the paternal grandmother told Record TV. Now I have to get used to the fact I don't have a grandson any more, I have a granddaughter."
Plus: When Kids Defy Gender Roles
The mother said that she deceived everyone because she was abused as a child and did not want her daughter to suffer the same fate as a girl. The child has been placed in foster care while the case is reviewed by a judge.

i am trying to install aptosid amd64. i'm using a the full dvd written to a USB stick using dd.
in the aptosid-installer on the partitioning tab it only shows /dev/sdb (the USB stick) in the 'Root-Partition' menu, and only /dev/sdb1 in the list at the bottom. if i launch xparted then sda and sdb are shown.
is this because sda is formatted with GPT?

So far GPT compatibility is unknown, as none of the developers has access to according hardware, so this might be a reason. However keep in mind that you first need to create a linux partition (type 83), before the installer accepts it as install target.

Please also post the output of "fdisk -l", which is what the installer has to use due to some problems with parted on the live system.

As I now have a disk I've put a GPT onto I can confirm that the output of "fdisk -l" is basically useless for a GPT disk as all it tells you is that the disk uses GPT. gdisk does provide useful info but needs the device as an argument and I don't even want to try seeing what "gdisk -l" will report for a non-GPT disk. I smell some fun ahead trying to patch the installer to handle GPT (let alone EFI).
In the meantime cheekybadger you are not going to have an easy time convincing aptosid to install on a gpt disk ... unless, perhaps (no promises, untested, just an idea that just jumped into my mind):
you could try changing the partition you want to install to to Linux LVM and then use pvcreate, vgcreate and lvcreate (as explained in the manual) to create a logical volume inside the partition and then format that with ext4 which should (hopefully) allow the installer to recongise it. BUT then you are going to have to install grub into the partition (not MBR as you don't have one) and then figure out how to boot the install somehow, probably from another bootloader.

If you want to be able to boot with grub2 then you need what gdisk calls a "BIOS boot partition" type ef02 (and I think it must be the first partition on your disk). This partition can be small, it may only ned to hold a grub image but I've also seen plenty of people making them closer to 200M or larger (I went for 200M in my kvm test machine). This partition should then be formatted as fat32 (mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdX1).
Having done that you still need to use lvm on your main "partition" to coax the installer into recognising your disc. If you really want to avoid lvm then perhaps you can get away with telling it to install to your usb stick and then edit the sidconf file to change it to the correct partition before you go ahead with the install.

I think I have have gotten things a little confused about the "BIOS boot partition". I doesn't need to be formatted at all and I don't think it needs to be anything like 200M. In fact you might get away with only 32K but a few hundred K is probably a safer bet.
I was getting confused with the EFI System Partition required for EFI (not bios) booting. I've yet to get to trying to test out EFI booting but it appears it's the one which should be fat formatted and something like 100 to 200 M
Of course if your system uses EFI booting (or you think you might like to migrate the disk to one that does in the future) then you'll probably want the 200M fat formatted partition instead (to at least reserve the space for later).

i had a look at the install scripts. looks like it is /usr/share/fll-installer-common/disk that finds the partitions, and can't see the GPT ones because its using fdisk. to test this i made a small hack to it to make it see my partitions.

with that the partitions show up in the installer. I selected sda4 and was able to install. there were no complaint from the installer, grub was set up correctly, and i am now booted into aptosid.
i guess if /usr/share/fll-installer-common/disk was fixed to use parted instead of fdisk everything would work fine, but i am not sure my bash skills are up to doing this (the output is a bit less sed/awk-able).

My own gut instinct is to use gdisk rather then trying to use parted, but there may not be any good reason for that
I'm thinking along the lines of using fdisk first and then gdisk on those disks it reports as gpt, but honestly I'm not sure and still haven't even got around to trying to setup gpt+efi booting myself yet let alone trying to "fix" the installer.

I have read an article on how to setup a GPT disk for installing Chakra which has a partioner that can set up GPT out of the box (think it's a patched gparted)
Article is here:

could you please provide more information like what system, what exactly did you do? Right now I have problems to install aptosid 2011-02 on a Lenovo IdeaPad S205. Live Modus works perfectly from USB, installation (standard, so without GPT etc.) runs, but after reboot I get:
PXE -E61: Media Test failure, check cable
PXE - MBF: Exiting PXE Rom
and no aptosid. Of course, I am not sure if it is an EFI+Grub problem or not.
Thank you very much

Seal Design's Foam: A Fiberglass Alternative
November 8, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Seal Design's Foam: A Fiberglass Alternative
A foam insulation product used increasingly in home building is being introduced to the RV industry by Seal Design as a superior alternative for insulating and sealing RVs.
Seal Design is an affiliate of Dicor Corp. and provides a variety of sealant products to RV manufacturers. Its new Touch-N-Seal foam polyurethane insulation results from the chemical reaction of two liquid components that combine in a spray gun to produce sprayed-in foam that quickly expands to fill even the smallest crevices, before hardening into solid, lightweight-structured insulation. It is a practical alternative to the fiberglass used in most towable RVs today, according to a news release.
Small gaps typically left by fiberglass insulation as it is rolled over studs, or is tucked around cutouts for windows, doors and hatches, are filled by the solidified foam. Along with its better seal, Touch-N-Seal has an R-value of 7.2 per inch compared to a typical R-value of 3.2 per inch for fiberglass insulation used in RVs. Additionally; Touch-N-Seal provides better insulation for sound.
Another benefit is the solid foam's ability to limit water damage and mold growth from potential leaks because of the tight interior wall seal it achieves. "Unlike fiberglass batting, water cannot penetrate the closed-cell foam, and the foam will not hold water inside the walls like fiberglass, reducing the chance of serious damage from water intrusion," said Greg Kelly, general manager of Seal Design.
The polyurethane foam also strengthens the walls as it solidifies, while weighing less than fiberglass. "So you're strengthening the wall while reducing weight at the same time," said Kelly. "That's what manufacturers are looking for these days."
"We know our customers and the industry as a whole need better insulation solutions, so Seal Design looked at some of the best performing sealing technologies in other industries and this is one of several new products we determined could very practicably be used in the manufacture of RVs," said Kelly.
For example, using a spray gun, a single worker could more quickly insulate a wall than by cutting and gluing fiberglass batting between the studs. Seal Design provides delivery systems that include a new CPDS 1000 dispensing system. This system is portable and delivers a constant pressure using compressed air, enabling higher foam yields and fast installation. Installation is in compliance with Energy Star and AAMA standards.
"It also saves a ton of storage space for the manufacturer," said Kelly. "Two-inch thick fiberglass takes up to 30 times the space that Touch-N-Seal materials would occupy."
"By enhancing productivity, Touch-N-Seal would financially benefit the manufacturer before its units even leave the line," said Kelly. "For dealers, the energy-saving enhancement, the sound muffling, and water-blocking properties — they all provide excellent benefits to talk about. This could help differentiate RVs in a category where buyers are looking for something new."
The new foam insulation will be introduced at the National RV Trade Show Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 in Louisville, Ky. It will be part of the Seal Design display at the Dicor Corp. booth, No. 260, North Wing Lobby.

better to work the same generation?
Hi i am a plant breeder but ive only been at it for a short amount of time and have no formal education on the subject beaides a little bookwork in high school, but i try and do as much personal research as i can and think i have a fairly good knowlege of how genetics qorks. So now that you have and idea of what i know ill ask my question, if i were making a hybridof plant with. 2 specific plants chosen for outstanding yields and flavor then chose a plant out of a population of about 10,000 of the f1 and crossed it with another plant chosen for outstanding qualities from another inbred line would it be better for me to take the time to grow out 10,000 plants to choose 2 or 3 stellar plants to continue the line and try to stabilize the traits that im after or would it be better to use smaller populations , say 100 and just breeding the best 2 and going with more generations in less time? Im sorry if i forgot to mention anything but im really tired so if you cpuld help me out i wpuld really appreciate it thanks in advance, and by the way if you need anymore info just ask and ill specify whatever it is ypi need to know.
Thankd for the reply i was beginning to think no one was going to answer me, i apologize i posted the questiom wrong i was in a hurry bit what i meant to say is with the smaller populations the benefit would be more attentiin to the individual planys and so i would be able to collect better data on those as opposed to tje large population where i would be just choossing 1 or 2 plants to make the f2

RALEIGH � Gov. Pat McCrory's proposal to overhaul North Carolina's Medicaid system by shifting patient management to a few managed-care organizations is facing scrutiny from state health budget-writers.
Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos and the state's Medicaid director presented more details Thursday to a legislative committee about McCrory's proposal designed to eliminate perpetual cost overruns.
Wos' agency would hire up to four companies that would assemble provider networks and come online starting in July 2015. The companies will receive a set amount of money per month for each Medicaid patient. They would get more for those with extensive health needs.
Former hospital president Rep. Donny Lambeth told Wos he's worried the plan will crowd out the current successful Medicaid nonprofit network called Community Care of North Carolina.

Politics above people?
To the Editor:
As political signs began popping up all over East Rockaway, I thought we were having another contested election — but when it became clear that there were no other candidates, I figured, OK, they want a large turnout. Fine. That's cool. In fact, I was excited that Theresa Gaffney was running because I think she'll be a great asset to the board, and I'd like to thank her in advance for her public service. Its not easy job, but it is rewarding.
I was even OK with the robocall to remind me to vote; and then a call from a human — and then more robocalls. I was willing to let bygones be bygones and let the past stay in the past. I was going to vote.
But then they arrived, one by one — the nasty postcards slamming the previous administration for various terrible decisions and expenditures. It reminded me of why I was so angry in the past. Since that so-called previous administration was comprised of current mayor Fran Lenahan and Deputy Mayor Bruno Romano, who just ran uncontested. Was it really necessary to reopen this old wound? The village and the residents are still recovering from a terrible ordeal, Hurricane Sandy, and we're desperately trying to come together and be one cohesive community once more. Was it absolutely necessary to start flinging nasty lies again?
An excerpt from one of the last mailings: "They even used tax dollars to pay for the college tuition of the former Deputy Mayor's daughter!!" This was an accepted policy of the library board which had been approved and allowed for years, and no one in that previous administration ever voted against it.
It's a damn shame that they found it necessary to bring up these issues again. What was their motivation? It really just served to remind us just how awful that other election was and how the village was torn apart. In the middle of healing and new tragedies, why on earth bring this up?
If this was supposed to encourage me to vote and if this was supposed to heal the community, it did a terrible job of it. I'm sorry for the person or people who thought this was a good idea and who clearly decided to put politics ahead of people.
