(AP) -- CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - As many as 1,200 hunters are expected on South Carolina rivers and marshes as the state opens the month-long alligator hunting season.Nearly 3,800 people from across the country applied for a gator hunting permit this season.
Experts think there are about 10,000 gators in South Carolina, mostly in the southern and eastern portions of the state. The state resumed gator hunting season two years ago.
State law requires alligators be captured and brought alongside a boat or to shore before they are killed. Hunters can't simply stand on shore and shoot gators with a rifle.

I have been with Quixtar for over 5 years now. I have been very happy with their products, services and business plan. I would like to retire from my job because of Quixtar income. It is the best business opportunity out there. Other than just making money, there are so many intangible benefits in this business, especially the family values, code of conduct, honesty, integrity, team work and so many other benefits I have got because of joining with Quixtar. When I was registered, I was very much excited and wanted to get started same night and I did. I never have to regret the decision I made that night. I am very blessed to have the wonderful support from my sponsor as well as all the uplines. They are closer to me than my own family members, relatives and co-workers. Quixtar IBOs that I have been working with are the most honest, accountable, trustworthy people that I have ever known. When I sponsor somebody in the business, I provide them as much information as they ask, to make wise, intelligent decision. If they ask for more information or time, I am more than happy to wait. Many prospects decide to try some of the best quality products that Quixtar provides. While showing the plan, I follow the guideline by Quixtar and let the prospect know that "this is not get rich quick scheme" and takes effort (some sacrifices too), in order to succeed. I never guarantee them success. They need to make a decision at what level they would like to participate: member, client of business owner. Depending on their time commitment, I tell them to get started at that level. I have had people who were clients for over 6 months, loved the products very much and after that, decided to jump on board. The intial registration fee varies from $55.00 to $285, depending upon what they ask for. If they decide to leave the business, they get most of the money back (almost 100%).

Shedding light on Salmonella carriers
Trends in Microbiology, 05/25/2012
Gopinath S et al. – The carrier state has also been described in livestock animals and is responsible for food–borne epidemics. Identification and treatment of carriers are crucial for the control of disease outbreaks. In this review, authors describe recent advances in molecular profiling of human carriers and the use of experimental models to identify potential host and bacterial genes involved in the establishment of the carrier state.

Some people don't want a complicated A/V setup. However, that doesn't mean that you have to suffer with scary audio. NuForce can add a little oomph to that simple A/V setup, with the Dia digital audio converter (DAC) and amplifier.
This newly announced combo product is designed for those wanting high-quality audio from A/V components, such as a TV, DVD player, Blu-ray player, Apple's AirPort Express, the Apple TV, and more.
According to NuForce, quality doesn't have to be complicated. Just plug electronics directly into the Dia through optical or coaxial digital inputs. From there, the Dia uses its 24-watt stereo power amplifier and audiophile-grade sound card to drive audio to your existing speakers and subwoofer, boasting the ultimate 2.1 stereo experience.
"We developed Dia out of my own personal frustration after I purchased an Apple TV and realized that there was no affordable and easy-to-use audiophile-grade digital amplifier solution," said Jason Lim, NuForce's CEO. "Dia is an answer for consumers that want phenomenal sound from the devices they already own without breaking the bank."
NuForce says that the Dia offers a variety of setup options. Boasting a maximum sampling rate of 192kHz and 24-bit resolution, the Dia features two Toslink inputs, an RCA coaxial input, and a line out for a subwoofer connection.

Wheat farmers hope for recovery
Recent rains in Southern California encourage winter-wheat farmers who grow their crops without irrigation. Farmers have started planting the "dryland" wheat for 2009. Last year's dry weather proved a disaster for those farmers, who only received insurance payments and no crop. But, with more rain predicted, growers say they're optimistic that this will be a better year. Wheat planting in Southern California usually continues through January with harvest in May or June.
Winter's chill benefits trees
Tree farmers are pleased that the number of chill hours this year have exceeded last year at this time. A chill hour is recorded when the temperature dips below 45 degrees. Peach trees need about 800 chill hours to set a good crop for the coming season, and most orchards are halfway there. Hours needed vary from about 600 for almonds to nearly 1,200 for cherries and apples.
New product helps keep mealybug under control
Commercial production could soon begin on a new method to control the pink hibiscus mealybug. The pest threatens a wide range of plants and reached California in 1999. State inspectors imported a parasitic moth that is a natural enemy of the pest. They were successful in containing the mealybug to urban areas of Imperial County. Now, researchers have licensed production of an attractant to help trap and eradicate the pests.
A grower's tips: keeping holiday flowers their freshest
If you give or get flowers for the holidays, you're in good company. Christmas is the year's third most popular flower-giving occasion, following Mother's Day and Valentine's Day. Flower growers say it's easy to prolong the freshness of flowers. One tip is to cut perhaps a half-inch off the stem, at an angle, before putting the flowers in a vase. That allows the flowers to absorb the water more easily. California is the nation's top producer of flowers and foliage.

Binary MySQL distributions for Linux that are provided by us used to be compiled with pgcc. We had to go back to regular gcc due to a bug in pgcc that would generate binaries that do not run on AMD. We will continue using gcc until that bug is resolved. In the meantime, if you have a non-AMD machine, you can build a faster binary by compiling with pgcc. The standard MySQL Linux binary is linked statically to make it faster and more portable.
Posted by P Otto on January 8 2008 9:57am | [Delete] [Edit] |
I benchmark my MySQL database regularly using the sysbench facility and I have been testing various software configurations on the same box trying to achieve the best performance. Having found this reference I wish to share my test results I produced over a few months, testing performance while using various compilation options.
The host used for testing was http://www.securitybay.co.uk/ running RedHat Enterprise/Linux Kernel 2.6.9-55.0.2.ELsmp and the 5.0.45 MySQL with the following hardware configuration:
- Dual Intel Xeon Processor 3.4GHz with 2MB Cache
- Dual 136 GB SCSI Drive
Tests were performed while MySQL server was under insignificant load generated by the Internet traffic during night hours, utilizing no more than a fraction of per cent of the server power at the testing time.
I got these interesting results showing that using pgcc instead of gcc can have a significant impact on the Linux/MySQL server performance.
The testing application was sysbench with the maximum number of requests limited to 10000 for testing.
Benchmark results for the out-of-the box, pre-compiled RedHat Enterprise/MySQL 5.0.45:
OLTP test statistics:
queries performed:
read: 140000
write: 50000
other: 20000
total: 210000

deadlocks: 0 (0.00 per sec.)
read/write requests: 190000 (3018.38 per sec.)
other operations: 20000 (307.20 per sec.)
Test execution summary:
total time: 62.5700s
total number of events: 10000
total time taken by event execution: 62.2566
per-request statistics:
min: 0.0026s

max: 0.4933s
approx. 95 percentile: 0.0085s
Threads fairness:
events (avg/stddev): 10000.0000/0.00
execution time (avg/stddev): 62.2566/0.00
Benchmark results for RedHat Enterprise/MySQL 5.0.45 compiled with pgcc and everything with -O6:
OLTP test statistics:
queries performed:
read: 140000
write: 50000
other: 20000
total: 210000
transactions: 10000 (193.30 per sec.)
deadlocks: 0 (0.00 per sec.)
read/write requests: 190000 (3201.42 per sec.)
other operations: 20000 (329.70 per sec.)
Test execution summary:
total time: 59.6500s
total number of events: 10000
total time taken by event execution: 59.3844
per-request statistics:
min: 0.0020s
avg: 0.0061s
max: 0.4522s
approx. 95 percentile: 0.0081s
Threads fairness:
events (avg/stddev): 10000.0000/0.00
execution time (avg/stddev): 59.3844/0.00
The above shows a slight, but visible performance gain when using pgcc instead of the gcc compiler. Further tests only confirmed this observation, and the overall performance increase was between 2% to 6% for the same hardware.
There is a built-in support for some Intel Pentium-specific operations in pgcc compiler, which allow code to be compiled with various Pentium optimizations. Thus the execution speed of the binaries is higher on a Pentium box.

"Today's coordinated actions represent one of the largest Medicare fraud takedowns in Department of Justice history, as measured by the amount of alleged fraudulent billings," Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division said in a statement.
In Dallas, 14 individuals were indicted for various fraud schemes totaling $103 million in false Medicare billings. One scheme run by a doctor and two nurses involved Raphem Medical Practice, owned by Dr. Joseph Megwa, and PTM Healthcare Services and allegedly led to about $100 million in fraudulent billings for home health services.
Megwa was accused of signing approximately 33,000 prescriptions for 2,000 different Medicare beneficiaries from 2006 to 2010. "In order to handle the volume of prescriptions, Megwa allegedly signed stacks of documents without reviewing them," according to a press release from the HHS.
In Houston, seven hospital administrators were indicted for paying kickbacks -- in the form of cigarettes and coupons to the hospital gift shop -- to Medicare patients in exchange for their attendance at the hospital's partial hospitalization program for mentally ill patients. Rather than receive the services the hospital billed Medicare, the government alleged, the patients watched television and played games, and administrators brought in $158 million through the scheme.
One participant, the assistant administrator of the hospital, Mohammad Khan, pleaded guilty in February to submitting fraudulent claims and paying kickbacks related to $116 million in false billings submitted to Medicare. Since Khan pleaded guilty, the department discovered an additional $42 million in fraudulent claims, which is included in today's total.
"We have made it one of the Department's missions to hold accountable those who abuse the Medicare program for personal profit," Breuer said in the statement. "And there are Medicare fraudsters in prisons across the country - some who will be there for decades - who can attest to our determination, and our effectiveness."

A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
Three years later, the merge window is a well established mechanism. Over that time, the discipline associated with the merge window has gotten stronger; it is now quite rare that significant changes go into the mainline outside of the merge window. The one notable exception is that new drivers can be accepted later in the cycle, based on the reasoning that a driver, being completely new and self-contained functionality, cannot cause regressions. Even then, there are hazards: the UVC webcam driver, merged quite late in the 2.6.26 cycle (in 2.6.26-rc9), brought a security hole with it.
The merge window rule is often expressed as "only fixes can go in after the -rc1 release." Recent discussions have made it clear, though, that Linus is starting to develop a rather more restrictive view of how development should go outside of the merge window. The imminent 2008 kernel summit may well find itself taking on this topic and making some changes to the rules.
In short, Linus has concluded that "fixes only" is not disciplined enough; a lot of work characterized as a "fix" can, itself, be a source of new regressions. So here's how Linus would like developers to operate now:
There can be no doubt that the tighter rules have come as a surprise to a number of developers - if nothing else, the frequency with which Linus has found himself getting grumpy with patch submitters makes that clear.
And, the truth of the matter is that Linus has not enforced anything like the above rule in the past. Beyond new drivers, post-merge-window changes have typically included things like coding style and white space fixups, minor feature enhancements, defconfig updates, documentation updates, annotations for the sparse tool, and so on. Relatively few of these changes come equipped with an entry on the regression list.
To look at this another way, here's a table which appeared in the 2.6.26 development statistics article, updated with 2.6.27 (to date) information:
ReleaseChangesets merged For -rc1after -rc1 2.6.2345052570 2.6.2471323221 2.6.2596293078 2.6.2675552577 2.6.27*77332451 * (Through September 9).
2.6.27 appears to be following the trend set by previous kernels: on the order of 25% of the total changesets will be merged outside of the nominal merge window. The most recent 2.6.27 regression summary shows a total of 150 regressions during this development cycle, of which 33 were unresolved. That suggests that at least 2300 patches merged since 2.6.27-rc1 were not fixes for listed regressions.
So the "regression fixes only" policy is truly new - and not really effective yet. Should this policy hold, it could have a number of interesting implications including, perhaps, an increase in the number of non-regression fixes shipped in distributor kernels. It might make developers become more diligent about reporting regressions so that the associated fix can be merged. With fewer changes going in later in the cycle, development cycles might just get a little shorter, perhaps even to the eight weeks that was, once, the nominal target. And, of course, we might just get kernel releases with fewer bugs, which would be a hard thing to complain about. In the short term, though, expect more grumpy emails to developers who are still trying to work by the older rules.
Tightening the merge window rules

I know this doesn't work for Linux because people will just work off their private trees forever and never send patches to Linus if the tree were really closed. I just wanted to pass along the management process used by a different, equally large project.

it's usually around -rc3 that the changes really stop.
the other thing is that not all regressions get documented as such.
documented regressions are usually when a person finds the problem and needs to report it for others to research. if the developer finds the problem they just send a patch and explain why it's a regression, they don't waste their time to submit a regression report.
breakout by -rc number?

Of course, if development starts in the open, there is a push to merge it early to the mainline (so if someone changes yet an other internal API, the code will be automatically updated). However, code released early tend to contain lots of bugs that could be easily fixed - hence there's a contant flow of small fixes and new features and I guess is hard to stop this flow.
So I this problem is inherent in the current development process.
Posted Sep 12, 2008 10:28 UTC (Fri) by mingo (subscriber, #31122) [Link]
The thing is, every new kernel project should start small and should aim for constant stability.
Dropping a large amount of code on upstream with a large amount of open problems means the project has been done wrong from the get go.
If a project starts small in the upstream kernel, it is not a problem at all to have a constant flow of updates - as long as they are stabilized and are merged in the merge window only. That's how the kernel evolves, gradually.
A project that is in a constant state of breakage makes little sense.
Project flow
Posted Sep 13, 2008 22:53 UTC (Sat) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link]
It has taken decades for a few people to value constant stability, and even so most of the world isn't there yet. So it is not strange that it should take a couple of years to get used to such a process.
Posted Sep 14, 2008 13:10 UTC (Sun) by mingo (subscriber, #31122) [Link]
Yes, and even for the kernel it has taken almost a decade to reach that state. (Btw., the technological trigger was Git - it enabled the new, distributed, "evolving" workflow.)
So shouting at folks for not getting it right would be rather hypocritical, and in practice upstream is rather flexible about it all.
The comment i replied to claimed that there was a problem with the kernel's development process. I disagree with that, and i think it's natural to expect that if some code wants to reach upstream ASAP it should try to follow and adopt to its development flow.
I.e. new projects should 'become upstream' well before they touch upstream (they should adopt similar principles) - that way there will be a lot less friction after the merge point as well.

For my small projet, I have just coded so that I knew exactly what I wanted to do. Then I rewritten most of the stuff nearly from scratch, that is just keeping the lower layer functions and reorganising the whole code. The problem is that you have something working before the "rewrite", but nobody else would understand it - and you cannot submit a patch before the complete organisation, patch which would be huge moving stuff around, renaming, factoring... After the rewrite people complain that they have not been involved in the design, but you just know they would have complained even more before the reorganisation. That is just life (of code)...

> then why are people sending it to me?
It's a question, not a command. The clever thing is not to find a process that works always (there's not such a thing), but one that works more often than not, and keep an eye for the need to make an exception.

And, of course, we might just get kernel releases with fewer bugs [...]
BTW, in my experience the kernel has no bugs, and all the problems I have come from other components.

More dough for flashy Russian entrepreneur
Oskar Hartmann, the 29-year-old entrepreneur behind Russia's answer to Gilt—KupiVIP—has landed $38 million in additional capital for his company. Balderton Capital/KupiVIP
- Teresa Novellino

- Email | Twitter
Russian e-commerce company KupiVIP made its way past the velvet ropes of the venture capital world again, this time securing a $38 million investment led by Intel Capital.
Considered the Gilt of Russia, the site is the country's largest members-only shopping site, offering top labels and brand names at deep discounts. It's led by 29-year-old German-born entrepreneur Oskar Hartmann, who said the company now has more than 8 million registered users—and that's a number he plans to watch grow.
"We have only just started to exploit the enormous opportunity the Russian consumer market offers to international brands," Hartmann said in a statement Wednesday. "With this new investment, we are delighted to get the support we need to build a world-class e-commerce company."
Hartmann has famously said that he started his company, which launched in October 2008, in one day, just before his 25th birthday.
"For some reason, young entrepreneurs have a sense of urgency," he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview last year. "You always believe that if you don't do it, someone else will."
Although his company was founded in the thick of the economic crisis, he says that KupiVIP actually took advantage of the timing, because brands were willing to "experiment" and find new ways to sell.
With this latest cash infusion, KupiVIP now has more than $100 million in total investment, according to GigaOM, which says the brand is on course to bring in $300 million this year, and is predicting it will hit $1 billion in the next few years.
The company plans to use the funds to expand, invest in distribution, and launch new websites, taking advantage of its position in the largest Internet market in Europe.
Russia has some catching up to do on e-commerce spend. The Russian e-commerce market is expected to grow to $40 to $60 billion by the year 2020. In the United States, e-commerce totaled $194 billion in 2011.

GERMANY: Chancellor Angela Merkel Tells Pro Soccer Players To Come Out
German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday declared that professional soccer players should not fear coming out. Merkel's statement comes as the nation buzzes about the identity of a player who was quoted anonymously this week as saying that he would come out, but he fears for his safety.
Gay Star News has Merkel's quote:
"I am of the opinion that anyone who sums up the strength and bravery – and we have a long tradition of this behind us in politics – should know that they live in a land where they have nothing to fear. 'The fact there are still fears for some people for their own situation means we need to send out a clear message: you must not be afraid."The unnamed player is reportedly a major star. He told Fluter Magazine:
"I would no longer be safe if my sexuality was to be made public. I don't know whether I will be able to take the constant tension between the model heterosexual player and the possible discovery until the end of my career. Should someone explain to the outraged crowd before the game that 'the gays' are actually completely normal men and then simply play? Unimaginable. In the situation in a stadium or after the game, any tiny thing within the group would be made into a big deal."

Looks great!!!!!!!!!!
Well I finaly did it, my fist intarsia, its just a simple one but its a start. First i had to cut out the pieces with a scroll saw, dont think my cnc is ridged enough to cut it out and plus I dont have the right bit for that. The wood was 1.5 " thick and I didnt have the right blade in the saw to cut it out so theres a few gaps but this was a test to see if the cnc machine would shape it the way I wanted it too, have to say the weakest part of this piece was my scroll saw cutting lol. The cnc shaped it almost perfect.my machine is a sosylva and used pattern wizard to creat the pattern , silo to model the part and cut3d to generate the gcode the mach3 to read and run the machine.Any questions go ahead and ask and ill try too answer. Thanks Graham
Thank you todd. The first ones are always the hardest to do, im working on some better ones. Graham
Heres another , soon there will be a few more to show. Graham
I saw that on Carve3Ds web-site and thought it looked kinda lame. But the contrast of colors looks killer. Good job. Keep it up
well here's a new intarsia I did, it's an otter if you cant tell. I still need a little work on my modeling but getting there, only took me like 2 weeks to do this one lol.I will probably do about 10 before going into production. Graham
wondering if any one could tell me how to use image shack to load pictures on here, have some more intarsia to show. Graham
well haven't figured out image shack yet so ill just post them right here for now. tell me what you think. Graham
sorry their a bit blurry, had to use a cell, our dig camera was stolen.

2012 Florida Visioning Challenge Library Champion Winner: Jay Dela Cruz, Hodges University
Florida iHub is the convergence of all libraries in the Sunshine State. All libraries across the state of Florida joined forces by sharing all their digital collections and electronic resources. Florida iHUb provides accessing, lending and borrowing of all things digital in all the libraries in Florida. With the seamless integration of the library resources, one need not travel in order to get the materials they needed. EBooks, emagazines, streaming videos and music as well as online databases located anywhere in Florida can now be accessed wherever you are. FloridaiHub.com – we have everything you need and more, in one click.
2012 Florida Visioning Challenge Library Champion Runner-Up: Alice Graves, Remington College
Taking it to the Malls and the Executive Parks: Many people are too busy to visit their library. Many people don't go to the library because they don't know what the library has to offer. People in their 20s and 30s who do not have children are the least likely to visit public libraries. But we don't have to wait for them to come to us. We can go to them by setting up mobile libraries where the people are. At the supermarket, at the mall, in a bar or an executive park where thousands of people work. All you need is a librarian, a laptop, and an internet connection. While you're there, raffle off e-readers, demonstrate free downloadable music and e-books. At the bar, have an evening of karaoke songs about books ("Who Wrote the Book of Love?" "Just Like Romeo and Juliet" to name two from way-back). Anywhere a librarians hangs his/her hat is a library.

And there is also no place in the Springboks 22 for prop Tendai Mtawarira in a side that will be captained by hooker John Smit.
A Springboks press release revealed Botha, who missed early games in the tournament due to his injury, was hurt again during training on Tuesday.
At this stage, he is not being sent home, with the Springboks management set to reassess his situation on Monday. Danie Rossouw and Victor Matfield will forge the second-row partnership this weekend.
Gurthro Steenkamp is preferred to Mtawarira, packing down alongside Smit and Jannie du Plessis, while centre Jean de Villiers returns as replacement for Frans Steyn, who exited the World Cup last weekend because of a shoulder injury.
And wings Bryan Habana and J P Pietersen have both allayed any fears about their fitness by both being named in the starting line-up.
The Springboks side is the most experienced in their Test match history, containing a total of 836 caps to surpass a previous record of 815 set against opening Pool D opponents Wales in Wellington last month.
The team includes eight players who started the 2007 World Cup final against England in Paris, plus three players who were part of that squad.
South Africa are bidding to become the first team to successfully defend the World Cup, with victory on Sunday meaning they will play New Zealand or Argentina in the semi-finals.
Team: P Lambie; J P Pietersen, J Fourie, J de Villiers, B Habana; M Steyn, F du Preez; G Steenkamp, J Smit (capt), J du Plessis, D Rossouw, V Matfield, H Brussow, S Burger, P Spies.
Replacements: B du Plessis, C J van der Linde, W Alberts, F Louw, F Hougaard, B James, G Aplon.

survey from app development firm Appcelerator and analyst firm IDC has revealed. Of those multiple devices, building apps for Android tablets is now a consideration for many developers, with 74% of the 2,000 developers surveyed responding that they are "very interested" in developing for Android tablets.
The average developer is now building for four different devices, a jointBut the interest in Android tablets - up 12 points in the past three months - is indicative of a growing interest in tablets across the board, says Appcelerator. iPad interest also rose 3 points to reach 87% and BlackBerry PlayBook interest doubled from 16% to 28% during the same time period.
Android Development Takes Off
There were 85 new tablets introduced at this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2011), the majority of which were running some version of Google's Android mobile operating system. According to the developers surveyed, the success of these tablets will be dependent on three factors: price (57% say this is the most important factor), minimized fragmentation (49%) and the capabilities of the new tablet-centric Android Honeycomb OS (33%).
Meanwhile, as Android tablet interest grew (now at 74%, as mentioned above), Android phone interest grew as well. Today, 87% of mobile developers said they were "very interested" in Android phone development, a response that rose 5 points, edging out iPad and coming within 5 points of iPhone (92%).
And interest in Amazon's new Android App Store is showing a surge of interest, too. 37% of developers are interested in distributing apps via Amazon, as compared with 13% interested in Verizon's VCAST app store and 9% interested in third-party app store GetJar. 82% are interested in distributing apps via Google's official Android Market.
iPhone Still Tops, Other Platforms See Smaller Changes
However, iPhone is still the number one priority. Says Appcelerator, the question developers are now asking themselves after launching on iPhone is this: "do I go Android or iPad?"
Another mobile platform seeing a minor increase in interest is Windows Phone 7, up 8 points to 36% of developers indicating strong interest. The respondents said it was the OS's revamped and improved user interface that drew them in.
Connected TV App Development Interest Declines
Outside the mobile ecosystem, there was little interest in developing apps for Connected TVs (Internet-connected TVs with accompany app stores). Thanks to Google's recent pull back on its Google TV plans, developer interest also dropped. It's now down 11 points to 33%. Apple TV also dropped 10 points to 30%. Interest in Connected TV alternatives like Yahoo TV, Boxee and Roku was also minimal.
Mobile App Strategies
The survey also took a look at where both enterprise and consumer development efforts were in terms of mobile app strategy. Last year, many survey respondents (43%) said they were in an exploratory phase, and typically only offered an app or two, one of which was usually for the iPhone.
Now, 55% of respondents say they're in the "acceleration" phase of their overall mobile app strategy. On average, respondents say they plan on developing 6.5 apps this year, up 282% from last year.
Businesses in particular are taking a multi-platform approach, the survey found. And, on average, the survey respondents said they are now building for 4 devices this year: typically, iPhone, iPad, Android phone and Android tablet.
Their apps will often be cloud-connected (87%, up from 64% last year). The apps will also be personalized and contextual, offering integration with both social and location services.
Revenue Generation
As noted by earlier reports, the survey also confirmed the trend of moving away from app sales as the primary revenue-generating outlet with more focus on alternative income sources like in-app purchasing and advertising.

It is perfectly understandable if you feel like you are in France's Bordeaux wine region rather than the East End when you drive past the villages and hamlets on the North Fork.
The biggest crop of this traditionally agricultural hamlet is grapes. In fact, nine of the North Fork's 30 wineries are located in Cutchogue. But the main case is more than 12 bottles of wine. It's the open spaces that the vineyards provide. The verdant vistas, with row after row of grape vines, ensure an uncluttered horizon that is an amenity in other areas.

Joanna Garcia Swisher and her Animal Practice costars Bobby Lee, Tyler Labine and Kym Whitley stepped out to celebrate their new show at the Pooches and Press event Tuesday in Beverly Hills.
Swisher's plus one was her rescue dog, Cooper, which she owns with her husband, New York Yankee Nick Swisher. While enjoying the soiree, an on-site pet psychic told the actress her beloved pooch has "a human soul," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
Besides having their fortunes told, the pets at the party indulged in doggy facials, massages and pet-friendly Sprinkles cupcakes.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The Little Rock Zoo says two dogs burrowed under a fence and killed five animals in the children's farm area overnight.
The zoo says the pit bull and pit bull-terrier mix apparently dug under a fence that surrounds the perimeter of the zoo and killed four goats and one sheep. The zoo says the dogs ran away and went back under the fence when approached by zoo staff members Thursday morning.
The zoo says several other animals were injured and are in the care of the zoo's veterinarian.
Officials say the zoo regularly inspects the perimeter fence for holes and re-inspected the fence Thursday morning to ensure no animals could get in.

- Conference discusses the role of NGOs in human rights landscape
Conference discusses the role of NGOs in human rights landscape
The role of international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), clear in the legal profession and in legal education, is not always so in national legal systems, said Professor Jim Nafziger at a recent law school conference. Witness the current crisis in Libya, a controversial instance of humanitarian intervention, he said.
"The role of international non-governmental organizations has particular traction in the area of advancing human rights and encouraging humanitarian efforts," Nafziger said. "The status of international non-governmental organizations has come of age."
The 16th annual Speakers Series, called "Lawyering for Humanity: The Role of International NGOs," featured professors from the University of Denver Sturm College of Law and the University of Idaho College of Law. Other speakers were Russy D. Sumariwalla, president of the southern Oregon chapter of the United Nations Association of the USA; Salah Ansary, the regional director of Lutheran Community Services Northwest; and Jeremiah Centrella, associate general counsel of Mercy Corps International. It was held in Room 218 of the College of Law.
Profs. Warren Binford and Gwynne Skinner moderated panels on human rights and humanitarian law and relief. More than 100 people attended the conference.
Keynote speaker was Barbara K. Woodward of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law.
"It is no longer realistic to claim that the realm of international law is limited to State interactions," Woodward said. "The fact is that this has never really been the case and it is even less so in the contemporary system. The important factor to appreciate is the extent to which international NGOs play influential roles in the system."
Woodward said NGOs have indirectly contributed to the development of international law through litigation. NGOs have acted as court- or party-appointed experts for fact-finding or legal analysis; testified as witnesses; and participated as non-parties. NGOs also have participated in "soft" law decision-making processes, generally in United Nations bodies and diplomatic conferences such as The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration on the Rights of the Child, the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials and the Principles for the Protection of All Persons Under Any Form of Detention or Imprisonment.

Dear Saddleback Family,
Every sunrise… every Sunday…and every New Year… is a reminder from God that it is never too late for a fresh start!
No matter how messed up our past has been, we serve a God who "makes all things new."
In fact, God commands us to not dwell on the past, but to look ahead in faith: "Forget about what's happened in the past! Don't keep going over old history. Be alert, and watch for the brand-new thing I am doing. Can you see it?" Isaiah 43:18-19 (Mes)
NOW is the time to let go of your old fears… useless worries… obsolete attitudes… and self-defeating habits. Don't drag these into another year! God is giving you an opportunity for a new beginning.
This weekend is significant in that it has happened only 3 other times in Saddleback's history: We begin, not just a new year, but a new decade … a decade that I am committed to help you make your finest and most fulfilling ten years of your life.
Don't miss OUR NEW YEAR'S SERVICES!

High-sensitivity SQUID magnetometer. The industry standard for magnetic measurements.
The multi-parameter MPS450 is a portable patient monitor test device. Designed to evaluate the simplest electrocardiogram monitor to the most complex arrhythmia detection systems.
The MaxO2 PLUS AE is an oxygen analyser that measures the oxygen concentration in a flow of gas from a medical gas source or through a medical gas-flow device such as a ventilator or anesthesia system, or within an infant incubator.
The ONLY product available on the market specifically designed for this requirement.
Mammography Phantom Material required test equipment.
The mammographic unit's automatic exposure control should be capable of maintaining optical density
Mammograms are only as accurate as the systems that produce them. Keeping these systems in peak working condition is paramount in producing sharp, high quality images.
Proper screen-film contact is essential for optimum image quality
The Markus chamber is the very first chamber specifically designed for electron dosimetry. The chamber may be used for measurements in water phantoms or solid state phantoms.
For many years, service engineers have been asking for a meter that measures mAs, exposure time, and mA at the same time. Diagnostic Imaging Specialists has produced this meter with extra features.
The Victoreen® NERO® mAx Toolkit for Excel is a complete software package for the NERO mAx that includes an Excel Add-In, called NERO mAx Add-In and Excel templates that may be used to evaluate the performance of radiographic, mammographic and fluoroscopic x-ray machines.
MiniVials* for liquid scintillation counting are miniaturized plastic vials, about one-third the size of the conventional 20-ml type.
Because fluoroscopy and special procedures examinations require personnel to be present at tableside for prolonged periods of time, they result in the highest exposure to diagnostic x-ray personnel.
The MRI Multipurpose Phantom monitors the overall performance of an MRI system.

The pair previously worked together for the number one Diamond Jubilee single 'Sing', and are now said to have reunited for new album tracks.
Barlow has apparently already sent an outline of one song to the composer, and they are planning to write together on holiday in Spain soon.
"I am writing with Gary Barlow again," Lord Lloyd Webber is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"I've come up with the tune this time and he's already emailed me with lyrics this morning. It hasn't got a title yet.
"Gary's going to be down in Majorca this summer and so will I, so we'll get together and something will come out of it."
Lord Lloyd Webber added that the new songs were originally intended for other artists, but now may be used for Take That after all.
Barlow recently promised Take That fans a new album and stadium tour for 2013.
Watch the video for Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Sing' below:

To start, this is sooo going on my list of Things To Make. Toad riding Wee Folk... yes.... Another one is by my littlest brother's favorite toy, the Beyblade. He wants to see either a class or an item that allows a character to stand atop a spinning top (or for the class, a spinning anything) for movement, defense, and attacks. Supreme focus in balance, would be a skilled/spellcasting class. |

OK, rather than a class for 'balancer', I'll push the (pre-classless d20) concept of "A single feat may succeed where whole classes might fail."
Yup. So... There will be a single feat, much like the Bloodline feats of yore, but instead of relating to genetics or heritage it will be for focus and singleminded pursuit of specific functions. In this instance, balancing like fucking crazy. Question is, what will it do? � Allow a value of 10 + Balance ranks + DEX in place of Reflex save or AC value against one attack each round as an Immediate Action. It will be a static value, like a surefire defense. � As a move action each round, negate the user's body weight and everything carried until the beginning of their next turn. This is to allow standing on things like spiderweb, eggshells, waterdroplets, all kinda crazy... yeah. � Spin an object and stand upon it without rotating. Also, to maintain the spinning of said object almost effortlessly. Moving with it would require a Balance check each round, allowing a +10 or so bonus to land speed, and failure means the object can not move for that round. User also gets +1 attack rolls for being higher than targets (if higher than targets!) since that's in the rules. Or perhaps no Balance check required to move or not, and instead movement speed becomes a product of Balance check result itself (much like Tome of Battle attacks with Concentration and the like) |

Toad-riding fey = awesomeness. PC or monster?
While I personally think the "Top Rider" concept is silly, I am intrigued by the Balance feat idea. I'm not sure how "fey" it is, but it's interesting, and I could see the concept expanded to other skills as well...Jump = crazy anime-style quasi-flying; Clibb = Spider-Man wall-walking, etc. Call 'em "Heroic [skill name]," maybe...Heroic Balance, Heroic Jump. etc. Hmm...more later... |

OK, maybe a Top Rider is ridonculous, but the balancing concept does have many applications.
Even more, I could very well indeed expand the concept to any physical skill. Swim, even. There is a class that almost does this. The Exemplar, I believe. But mostly all it does is boost your options and bonuses to the skill checks, not outright make them valid as combat abilities, and that sucks. |

A wonderful treat is in store for the community and auction-goers on Thursday evening, June 27, 2013. Experienced cooks from the Valley Forge Black Pots, a chapter of the International Dutch Oven Society, are partnering with the Auction Food Committee to offer a tasty meal starting at 4:00 pm.
Menu: baked chicken, scalloped potatoes, cowboy beans, creamed corn, fresh tossed salad, and cobbler for dessert.
$12 adult meal / $4 children ages 3-10
Making food over open fires on the auction grounds is a delicious history lesson for young and old alike. It will be a novel experience for families to bring their children to share in this unique meal since this style of cooking has largely disappeared in our area. We are expecting hundreds of hungry people who relish the adventure of eating foods prepared in the old-time Dutch oven pots. This brings pioneer cooking back to life!
The 14th annual Carriage & Antique Auction on Friday, June 28, 2013 is shaping up as a main event in Lancaster County for equine enthusiasts, antique collectors, and families who enjoy a day in the country. There is something for everyone, which helps the auction grow. Last year there were over 3,000 attendees (including 1,125 bidders). Six auctioneers were busy from 8:00 a.m. until almost 6:00 p.m. selling high-quality goods.
As auction consignors and attendees from various states enjoy the day in Bird-in-Hand, they are benefitting the Bird-in-Hand Fire Company. The auction's success provides the Fire Company with financial resources to give excellent fire protection to the community.
