With your kids heading back to school, you might be hoping they spend more time with their noses in a textbook than with their eyes glued to a screen. And since you know they'll be spending time online — socializing, sharing photos, and downloading apps — take the opportunity to talk about being tech smart as well as book smart!
If you teach people about everyday financial issues, like saving and shopping, credit and debt, buying a home or car, or looking for a job or paying for school, the FTC is your information destination. Consumer information from the FTC is free and in the public domain. That means you can print it, copy it, post it, or link to it freely — and for free.
Be your own boss! No experience necessary! Make $60,000 a year from home! Sounds pretty good, huh? Before you sign on the dotted line, you might want to listen to this 1-minute tip from the FTC...
The FTC, the nation's consumer protection agency, first warned consumers to be on the lookout for flood-damaged cars in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Almost a year later, news reports indicate that water-damaged cars that endured Hurricane Sandy are being sold by private sellers and showing up on used car lots.
Although you may have lost your belongings in a weather emergency, you haven't lost your good judgment. You can protect your personal information and finances by following a few rules.
OK, it's not really Check Your Phone Bill Day. But how about checking your wireless phone bill anyway? Pull it up online, dig out your paper copy, or if you don't get a detailed bill from your phone company, go ahead and ask for one (we'll wait).
Whether you're heading off to your freshman year of college or getting your first apartment, preparing to be out on your own can be fun and exciting. It also means taking on new financial responsibilities. The decisions you make now about how you manage your money can affect your ability to get credit, insurance, a place to live, and even a job.
Extreme weather sometimes occurs with little warning. To help lessen fear and anxiety, and to reduce the loss of property, everyone needs to prepare.

During the school year, parents are asked to sign many forms. In the wrong hands, the personal information on these forms can be used to commit fraud in your child's name — to apply for government benefits, open credit card accounts, or apply for a loan.
When children are victims of identity theft, the crime may go undetected for years — or at least until your child is old enough to apply for a job or a loan, or rent an apartment. But there are laws that help safeguard your family's personal information.
After a weather emergency, you may be concerned about the safety of your drinking water. Be wary of someone trying to sell you a water treatment device.

After his team's 61-52 win Sunday night against North Carolina, Virginia men's basketball coach Tony Bennett wanted to make sure he gave his players an opportunity to acknowledge the magnitude of the moment.
Beating Carolina is always a big deal in Charlottesville, especially since it had never been done since John Paul Jones Arena opened in 2006. It was an achievement that deserved a few seconds of cutting loose.
"I said, 'I'm going to give you 15 seconds to celebrate'" said Bennett of his postgame approach. "We talked about what we wanted to do. We put the music on. I said, 'Let's dance for 15 seconds.' Then, we shut off the music and said, 'All right. We're done.'
"You have to certainly enjoy it…but you can't linger too long. With a young team, you've got to know when you've got to get back to business."
U.Va. (11-3 overall, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which also got Bethel High graduate point guard Jontel Evans back after being out for more than a month due to a foot injury, snapped a three-game losing streak against UNC by holding the Tar Heels to a season-low in terms of point production.
Joe Harris led U.Va. with 19 points. He had five points during a 10-0 run early in the second half for the Cavaliers, who never trailed again after the run. He was the only U.Va. player to score in double figures, but all nine of the Cavaliers who got in the game scored.
UNC (10-4, 0-1), which got 22 points from Reggie Bullock on 7 of 9 shooting from the floor, was held to 37.3 percent on field goal attempts. Forward James Michael McAdoo entered the game leading UNC with averages of 14.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, but he was held to 10 points and seven rebounds.
Despite its struggles shooting in the long run, UNC didn't start the second half looking like it would have much trouble finding a groove on the offensive end. UNC hit five of its first six shots in the half to take a 36-28 with 16:25 remaining.
Making matters worse for U.Va., point guard Teven Jones turned the ball over twice in the first two minutes and 19 seconds of the second half, forcing Bennett to call a timeout. After the timeout, he replaced Jones with Evans, who scored six of his eight points in the second half.
"They needed to understand – 'Get going. Let's play with some assertiveness, let's handle the ball better'" Bennett said. "I thought defensively and offensively it was so shaky. I said, 'There's a lot of time left, but after talking at halftime, I thought we'd come out with a little more purpose.' We were wandering too much, and it cost us."
The eight-point lead was as good as it would get for UNC.
After Jones' second turnover, U.Va. didn't have another one in the final 17 minutes, 41 seconds. UNC also missed 14 of its last 20 shots from the floor.
"I think we turned up the intensity on defense," said U.Va. forward Akil Mitchell, who had seven points and a game-high 11 rebounds despite playing with a sore ankle after spraining it in Thursday's practice. "We got them to turn it over a few times. Then, we started running our offense a little harder and getting easier shots and putting more pressure on the rim. I think it just kind of swung the doors open a little bit."
With U.Va. trailing 36-31, forward Darion Atkins sparked the Cavaliers with 15:40 remaining by blocking a McAdoo dunk attempt. Mitchell hit a layup on the other end 13 seconds later to cut further into UNC's advantage.
"(McAdoo) probably slowed up and just wasn't aware," said Atkins, who had two points and played just 16 minutes while struggling with a shin splint. "It was to my advantage, so I just went up and blocked it."
U.Va. shot 44.9 percent from the floor, including 52 percent in the second half. It excelled from 3-point range, making 57 percent (8 of 14) of its long range attempts for the game.
Paul Jesperson nailed a 3-pointer with 13:34 left to tie the game 36-36. Freshman Evan Nolte connected on back-to-back 3-pointers in a one-minute span to help U.Va. build a 46-40 lead. He was 3 of 5 from beyond the 3-point arc for the game.
Harris scored 10 of his points on layups and dunks. With 7:06 left, his 3-point play on a layup and ensuing free throw after being fouled by P.J. Hairston put U.Va. ahead 49-42 and got the crowd involved.
"Watching film, I felt like Carolina's bigs didn't necessarily do a good job of 'showing' off side balls screens, and that sort of thing," Harris said. "We kind of worked on in practice how if I wasn't going to be able to grab a lane to the rim that I was going to be able to kick back to the post. That was kind of a focus point offensively."
Bullock, who returned to action after suffering a concussion in a Dec. 27 practice, made 4 of 6 shots from 3-point range. He got UNC back into the game with some timely shooting.
He was the only UNC player with any kind of touch from the perimeter. Excluding Bullock's effort, UNC made 1 of 11 shots beyond the 3-point line.
"We had a little bit of a run the first couple of minutes of the second half…after that, we didn't get very good movement," UNC coach Roy Williams said. "We didn't set the screens the way we wanted to set them, didn't use them the way we wanted to use them. We missed some good shots. At the same time, our defense was breaking down on the other end."
Bullock's 3-pointer with 6:43 left cut U.Va.'s lead to 49-45, and another 3-pointer with 3:53 remaining sliced U.Va.'s cushion to 51-48. Bullock's layup off an offensive rebound with 3:10 left reduced U.Va.'s advantage to 51-50.
UNC wouldn't hit another shot from the floor the rest of the way, missing its last five attempts. Harris and Jesperson both had four points in the final three minutes to put the game out of reach.
Though Mitchell and Atkins were less than 100 percent, U.Va. still managed to keep the game manageable on the boards. UNC entered the game third in the nation in rebounds per game (44.8) and averaging a plus-6.2 rebounding margin per game, but it only held a 35-32 rebounding advantage against U.Va.
Evans also wasn't playing at full strength. It was his first game back since going out Dec. 5 against Tennessee after aggravating an injury to his right foot, which was surgically repaired in October as result of a stress fracture. He played 21 minutes and added six assists to his season-high points.
"This is one of my most memorable games, I'll say," Evans said. "It's my first full game back this (calendar) year playing those type of minutes. Against Carolina, with me being a senior and this was my last time competing against them in this gym, it's very special for me to get a 'W.'"

Audio announcements would make for higher level of safety in public venues
Studies have shown that decision making during an acute emergency in a place of public assembly will generally cause a high level of anxiety, severe stress, and can sometimes cause panic. The reason for having guests informed prior to a performance of all emergency exits is that it will allow the proper time to plan and develop a fast and safe exiting route for themselves and their families.
Today there are sound alerts such as fire alarms, smoke detectors and audio sound directions for evacuation upon discovery of a hazardous incident. When these are activated, there is only a very short time to attempt to find a safe path of egress. The result is suddenly having a crowd exiting all at once and many will get trampled or crushed in the exiting process usually through the front entrance.
In 2003, after the "Station Nightclub Fire" in West Warwick, R.I., the state revised their R.I. State Fire Code. One of many new regulations is that mandatory audio announcements of the emergency exits are to be made at all events in places of public assembly. The accepted practice is that a single announcement at the beginning of a theater performance or banquet hall (weddings etc.) was sufficient as guests were usually present and captive for the entire event. In the case of nightclub style entertainment, multiple announcements are required between each act or set as guests are very fluid and may leave or arrive throughout the daytime or evening performances. Therefore, all must be prior informed. Even after 10 years, many venues in R.I. do not comply.
In 2004, a study was conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the Station nightclub fire. They concluded that interior lights were turned up, a loud audio fire alarm was activated, and strobe lighting was automatically turned on. With these warnings, all the patrons were aware that a serious incident, a fire, was now enveloping the club. In a very short time, smoke was concealing the locations of the emergency exits known to only a few at the club. Most patrons had only a very short time to make a choice for a safe path to exit. They had no prior knowledge of the locations of these emergency exits and with the visibility very poor, many attempted to return to the main entrance with devastating results.
The sound reason for making owners, management and staff make the required audio announcements is that when they comply, they will have already prepared their premise for safe exiting. They will certainly ensure their guests that in their daily housekeeping chores that they will provide unobstructed safe paths of egress to secondary emergency exit doors that open from the inside and swing to the outside. This regulation is passive, low-tech and cost effective for all to comply. An extra benefit is that there would be fewer victims, if any, to extract by the first responders in their search and rescue phase.
Fire is not the only hazardous incident that requires us to formulate a smart response to safely evacuate a public building. A few others are: a total electric blackout in the evening, carbon monoxide release, smoke from a prank incident, planned terrorist attack, or gunfire from a deviant behavioral perpetrator.
Life-safety in emergency exiting is a three-way partnership: First with the deputy state fire marshal in inspection and enforcement; second with owners, management and staff of entertainment venues in ensuring that the paths of egress are clear and exits doors are operable; and third, that patrons upon entering should observe the total layout of the venue to determine a safe path to an emergency exit. Also, if it is a state law, they should listen to the audio announcements of the locations of the secondary exit doors.
Recently in the deadly "Kiss" nightclub fire in Santa Marie, Brazil, where over 230 young patrons lost their lives, officials confirmed that there may not have been operable secondary emergency exit doors. Many were trampled to death at the front entrance similar to the Station fire. In hindsight, Brazil should look to the Rhode Island fire codes, the best in the nation, to improve their fire codes and give their guests a higher level of life-safety in all their entertainment venues.
This audio regulation should be embraced in all places of large public assembly worldwide, even if no regulation applies. Entertainment venues should offer their guests this means to ensure a safe exiting from a hazardous incident. Casinos and their large performance theaters, medical facilities, shopping malls, large retail stores, business offices and cruise ships in their large performance theaters should all join to create a safer means for emergency exiting for all public gatherings.

We've all heard, and probably tried, a few home remedies in our gardens with the hope that the spray or powder from the kitchen cabinet could provide a safe and effective way to kill pests. There's something appealing about using common household chemicals in the garden, but few of these remedies have been scientifically tested for their effectiveness and safety.
A new book by University of Minnesota horticulture professor Jeff Gilman provides a guide for gardeners -- both those who favor a homemade approach and the skeptics. The Truth About Garden Remedies, (Timber Press, 2006; $19.95) looks at more than 100 home remedies and garden practices, reviews any past scientific research about them, and in some cases sets up experiments to determine if they work and how best to use them.
For example, Gilman tested commercial insecticidal soap products against a homemade version. While the homemade version actually killed insects faster, it also was more likely than the commercial product to burn the leaves of the plants.
Gilman looked at other home preparations including vinegar, hot pepper spray, garlic, mouthwash, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, buttermilk, eggshells, and coffee grounds, to name a few. He also investigated garden practices such as planting trees deeply (detrimental), playing music to plants (inconclusive), and misting plants with water for frost protection (it works!).

2000 Dignitas Humana Award
Jean Vanier Receives 2000 Dignitas Humana Award
Jean Vanier, born in Canada, was educated in England, Canada and France, and he received his doctorate in philosophy. As well, Jean Vanier has taught philosophy at St. Michael's College, University of Toronto.
In 1964, Jean Vanier invited two men with mental handicaps to set up a home with him in Trosly-Breuil, France. The home was named L'Arche, which translated to the Ark; a symbol of life, hope and covenant with God and Man. From the beginnings of this single home, the Federation of L'Arche has now grown to over 100 communities in 18 countries all over the world. L'Arche communities welcome adults with mental handicaps who belong to various Christian denominations and diverse religions.
Although L'Arche communities are found in many different cultures, they share a common philosophy and approach. People with mental handicaps and those who help them live and work together to create an atmosphere in which everyone achieves a level of dignity and happiness not possible in an institution. The main function of L'Arche is to provide homes where mentally handicapped adults and assistants can share life together, living as family and friends not as clients and staff.
In 1968, Jean Vanier founded Faith and Sharing, an annual retreat where people from all walks of life are welcome to gather together in their communities and share the Gospel. In 1971, he founded Faith and Light along with Marie Hélène Mathieu. Faith and Light groups, comprised of people with developmental disabilities, their parents and friends, meet regularly to discuss hopes and difficulties and to share prayer.
Jean Vanier has demonstrated a lifetime of concern for the less fortunate, the lonely and the dispossessed. He recognizes that what emerges from human brokenness is a God whose love is without limitation.

Art in Review
By KAREN ROSENBERG
Published: September 18, 2009
534 West 25th Street
Through Oct. 17
The idea of using holograms in art seems laughably dated or, at the very least, kitschy. (Dal?robably doomed the medium, in the early 1970s, with his holographic portrait of the rock musician Alice Cooper.) Not even James Turrell, the artist known for making light and space behave in mind- and mood-altering ways, is able to redeem them.
Mr. Turrell's 15 ''transmission light works'' are modeled after abstract paintings. They try, not quite successfully, to exorcise the hologram's hokey, representational associations while retaining a phenomenal quality. Wedges, halos and orbs of light appear to project or recede from mirrored supports. The most interesting examples are physically assertive, even threatening; knife points and lassos emerge with the slightest shift in position.
Other shapes are obliquely referential. One blue-green trapezoidal form recalls Mr. Turrell's ''skyspaces,'' open-ceilinged chambers meant to be viewed at dusk. Another, in the form of a long, tilted ellipse, hints at an old painterly illusion: the anamorphic skull in Holbein's ''Ambassadors.''
As a group, however, these works seem like oversize versions of the holograms used to secure credit cards and currencies. One suspects that they are just as functional: something to fill the gallery while Mr. Turrell finishes his site-specific installation, ''Roden Crater,'' in Arizona. KAREN ROSENBERG

Dr. Caroline (Dr. C) was the first chiropractor who opened my eyes to other types of chiropractic therapy that might provide the best results. As a runner who also sells real estate, I spend a lot of time is the three least most recommended positions: driving a car, using a computer, and running marathons. Dr. C did all then necessary evals to devise the best treatment. If one course of treatment was not showing signs of relief early on, Dr. C was quick to make adjustments to the therapy. Thanks to Dr. C, both my business, and my mileage, is thriving!
Posted: 6/01/2014 • Link to this review
I have a received great care from Dr. C. My wife and I have been getting care from her for about a year and a half now and it is the most irreplaceable care I have ever received. She has done many things to help us out from a wellness standpoint in keeping us health and bringing us back from injuries. Along with this care she has become such a great mentor to us. She cares about our life and always is giving us advice. She has created a connection with us that will last for a lifetime. I would absolutely highly recommend her for care, not only for he amazing skills as a Doctor, but her superior ability to be able to connect with people and make a difference in there lives.

Dr. C is AMAZING. I have known her for years and years and have been under her incredible care for a year and a half now and I have never felt better. She was there for me during a migraine late at night, and goes out of her way to make sure I stay well. Don't think twice, choose Dr. Caroline. Your body and mind will thank you :)
Posted: 5/22/2014 • Link to this review
I first met Dr. Caroline in November 2012 at a Chiropractic coaching seminar. I was attending the seminar due to recently being accepted to attend chiropractic school in April 2013 at Life University in Atlanta. During the seminar one of the D.C's told me I should meet Dr. Caroline because we would be close when I moved to Atlanta and for the fact that she attended Life University as well. As soon as I went up and introduced myself, she welcomed with open arms! Immediately I could feel her passion, energy, care, and love for chiropractic but more importantly for helping people! We connected instantly and she offered to be my mentor when I moved to Atlanta. I began coming to Balance Atlanta Family Chiropractic as soon as I arrived in Atlanta and have never felt better! Each week I am learning something new from Dr. C, but not just the in's and out's of chiropractic. She is always challenging me to be the best version of myself possible, along with being there for me in any situation I face. Dr. Caroline is one of the most passionate, loving, caring, and down to earth type people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.

I've been seeing Dr. Caroline for over a year now and I'm very happy with my progress. I went in not knowing anything about chiropractic care, Dr. C explains everything and takes time with you. She's there because she really believes in what she does. Don't walk in there thinking you're going to visit a couple of times and you will magically be better, this is something you do like brushing your teeth or taking a daily walk. I went in with a little skepticism but an open mind, and a year later I have just returned from an annual vacation that involves a great deal of walking that has always caused me huge foot, knee and hip pain. This year is the first time in five or more years I made the trip and didn't start having any noticeable pain until the last part of the second week. In my book, that IS a miracle -- and one I didn't even expect. What an awesome practice. I can't recommend it any higher.

Dr. C has been wonderful for gastro issues my newborn had from a c-section delivery. I brought Dr. C into our lives when my daughter was 4-weeks old and kind of a miserable baby. After just a few sessions with Dr. C many symptoms has dissipated and I felt like I was finally getting to meet my daughter by 8-weeks old. I started my personal chiropractic care at the same time. I have years of work that needed undoing and am experiencing great results. Dr. C has a great professional yet very personal approach to your care. We have made incorporating her services into our family lifestyle a priority and it has been worth all the time and effort.

I have been seeing Dr. Caroline at Balance Atlanta for over a year and have received excellent care and service. I'm pregnant with my second child and regular chiro appointments have eliminated any hip/back pain that I experienced with my first child.

It's amazing how many moms tell me that they wish they had known about chiropractic care while they were pregnant with their first child. I am so glad you are experiencing the benefits of regular adjustments with baby number two! Not only are the adjustments making you feel better, they also help your pelvis stay in good alignment so that labor and deliver will be easier on both you and the baby! Thanks so much for your kind words!

Dr. C is very caring and detail oriented. As a Les Mills Body Pump Instructor and marathon runner she helps me reach my fitness goals while staying in optimum shape. In addition to being the top of her field she also checks in with me at every appointment to ensure that the adjustments are working and that I am happy with her care. She is awesome!

I decided to try out Balance Atlanta when I was about 18 weeks pregnant because I was experiencing severe back pain. I had researched different approaches to pain care during pregnancy on the internet and discussed it with my OB. I kept seeing that good chiropractic care during pregnancy was beneficial not only to Mom, but also to baby. After discussing the benefits of chiropractic care during pregnancy and answering all my questions openly and honestly, Dr. Caroline Von Fluegge and I agreed on a plan of care. Thanks to her adjustments and following her advice, I've been back pain free since about 20 weeks and am truly enjoying my pregnancy! Dr. Caroline and her staff are very professional but also very personable at the same time. I look forward to my weekly visit and catching up her team. I would highly recommend her to any person, pregnant or not!

Dear FutureATLMom, Thank you for your kind words! Taking the time to review options, having open conversations with your doctors, creating a plan of action in a partnership, and actually following through with recommendations are the steps successful patients take. Congrats on feeling great! I look forward to keeping you well and meeting the baby! Dr. C
Dr. C is not only an excellent chiropractor but a fabulous person who cares about her patients total well being. If you have any chiropractic needs you should get to Balance ATL ASAP to start immediate improvement of your situation.

J, I have never had a patient take home videos and books on chiropractic from the office. Your research and diligence is paying off. Glad your health is better and golf isn't causing you so much pain. When you first came here, you couldn't walk without agony. It's amazing seeing your progress in just a few weeks. Thanks for the review! Dr. Caroline

I started at Balance due to back pain during pregnancy. My visits not only eased my pain greatly, but helped my baby flip from the breech position. I also delivered a 10.5 lb baby in 2 pushes, with no tearing. I fully believe being well aligned helped with all of that!
Posted: 8/25/2012 • Link to this review
S, I always let my patients know that I will give you my best effort and allow the body to figure out the rest. The fact that your pregnancy went well, your daughter turned with the Webster technique (and you didn't have to get a C-section) AND 10.5 lb baby M was delivered with 2 pushes and no tearing...that is pretty awesome. Thanks so much for referring your husband to Balance Atlanta. Most especially, thank you for giving me the honor of adjusting your beautiful children. ox DrC

Our entire family is in chiropractic care with Dr. Caroline. We are all very active and athletic and have different issues ranging from old skiing injuries to tumbles and falls of the youngest one. Dr. C takes care of us on a regular basis with her healing healing hands. She is very warm and caring and makes you instantly feel welcome and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Dr.C to patients of all ages based on our own wonderful experience. The greatest wealth is health! (Virgil)
Posted: 8/24/2012 • Link to this review
Yep, I have taken my share of falls as well and I know how out of whack the body can become as a result. Chiropractic care has been a regular part of my life for the past 23 years for that very reason. I am so glad you, your husband and your son are under regular care at Balance Atlanta. Being active is important to you and I would hate to think riding, skiing, all that traveling, plus the daily stress of juggling school, parenting and who knows what would ever keep you on the sidelines. S, your sense of humor, understanding of what is important in life, and commitment to health for the whole family makes it a joy having the gang at Balance Atlanta! Watch out for racing squirrels and poison ivy! DrC
I am a professional musician by trade, and I have always avoided chiropractors for fear of damage to my body that would inhibit my ability to work as a musician physically. I was in a car accident a few months ago, and I was in a lot of pain. I tried all of my usual standbys to naturally work out the discomfort I felt, but nothing really worked. Two months after the wreck and after researching many, many chiropractors that friends recommended I settled on Dr. Caroline. I cannot stress enough how amazing she is at what she does. As her credentials show, she is very educated and knowledgeable, and she seems to really love what she does. I admitted to her upfront that I was very scared of trying this type of therapy, and she walked me step by step through the processes she uses and why they help. She has made me a believer in chiropractic services, and I am very thankful I found her! As a side note, I have had a horrible sense of smell as long as I can remember. After receiving adjustments these past three weeks, I am very stunned to report that I can smell! This was an awesome bonus in addition to adjusting the problems I have because of the car accident. I find her to be very caring and helpful which is hard to find these days. I recommend her highly!!

K, I was aware that you were pretty nervous coming here initially. Chiropractic is new to you and you were in a lot of pain. Thank you for listening, learning and following my recommendations with an open mind. The fact that your sense of smell came back is an unexpected and pleasant side-effect. As I say, "everything is connected to everything." Enjoy your birthday coming up and lets continue your journey towards better health!
The care we have received from Dr. C has been amazing. No only has she helped me recover from my back and neck pain but she has also helped my children deal with their challenges in a very healthy way that did not require medication. What a wonderful experience for a mom! We always feel safe, educated, and in excellent hands when we are in Dr. C's care. I would recommend to any family.

Dr. Caroline is the nicest person I have ever met and the best chiropractor I have ever been to and now the only one I will ever go to. I had been going to the chiropractor for a few years to just get a regular adjustment, but she changed my whole view on chiropractic care and taught me how to truly take care of my body and how everything works together, and she also has very advanced technology for her field. She taught me that there are such things as cranial adjustments, and how brain waves can affect your mood and how you operate. She truly wants to help you and wants the best for you, and you cant ask for more than that. I would highly recommend Dr. Caroline Von Fluegge as a chiropractor, a health and wellness doctor, and as friend.

B, You came flying in here one day with a burst of energy ready to start chiropractic care. Hands down, you stand out as the patient with the most enthusiasm right from the start. Your chiropractor in Alabama really taught you well - that kind of foundation of understanding was a great starting point for our working relationship. With a history of car accidents, football injuries and who knows whatever else you've done to yourself in 20 years, you understand the importance of corrective chiropractic care. Never missing an appointment, always asking good questions, and with a big smile/open heart - it was super fun adjusting you to better health. When you're back in ATL, stop by. I look forward to catching up! DrC

- Description
- The design of Beau Sans was inspired by Bernhard Gothic which is considered one of the first contemporary American sans serifs and was designed by Lucian Bernhard in the late 1920's. The designer came across this font while attempting to reduce the design elements of a text typeface, by introducing Bauhaus-like minimal forms to the characters. The first version was completed back in 2002 and introduced one year later in our 3rd catalog, under the name PF Traffic. Some time later it was decided to make a few improvements but the project was so carried away that the new typeface which emerged needed urgently a new name. Beau Sans Pro is a modern sans serif family of 16 fonts which includes true-italics. Just like all other Parachute fonts, it covers a broad range of languages by incorporating 3 major scripts i.e. Latin, Greek and Cyrillic in one font. Furthermore, every font in this family has been completed with 270 copyright-free symbols, some of which have been proposed by several international organizations for packaging, public areas, environment, transportation, computers, fabric care and urban life. This typeface is totally recommended for titles and/or body text when you want to give a distinct and contemporary identity to a product or service.

Students shine at SWC Fine Arts Festival
Music, art selectees travel to Broken Bow.
Several Gothenburg High School students were chosen by teachers to attend the Southwest Conference Fine Arts Festival which was last Friday and Saturday at Broken Bow High School.The annual event culminated in the school gymnasium with an afternoon concert and artwork was displayed before and after the concert.
Other schools represented at the festival included Cozad, Minden, Ainsworth, Valentine, Ogallala and Broken Bow.
Swede sophomore Amanda Kowalewski was honored for an earthenware sculpture entitled "Once Upon a Time" that received the SWC Student Choice award.
Fellow sophomore Remmy Rocha was recognized during the band concert for an alto saxophone solo.
Gothenburg received an attendance award for having the most parents, relatives and others attend the concert/art show.
In addition to guidance by professionals in the business, local high school fine arts teachers said the festival is a chance for students to meet and work with other students in a non-competitive environment for two days and work with different directors and artists.
Choral students rehearsed for two days with Michael Morris, an adjunct music education instructor at Doane College. Morris has taught vocal music for 34 years in Nebraska with the last 27 years in Crete as the director of choral music.
David Rischling, the instrumental music teacher for Alliance Public Schools, directed band students. Rischling has taught for 34 years in Nebraska schools including Perkins County High School and Bridgeport in addition to Alliance.
Art students were grouped to create murals judged by conference art instructors, a contest won by Cozad students.
They also did mixer activities where they worked on projects, such as painting patio chairs, set up by the art instructors.
Art instructors included Susan Hart, who teaches children's workshops for the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney; Christy Kosmicki, who teachers art in Holdrege and at UNK; Pat Wiederspan Jones, who teaches privately and creates in her own studio in Kearney.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers hailed the Lionel Messi-like character of Luis Suarez after the striker scored twice in the 3-0 defeat of Sunderland.
The Uruguay international took his Premier League tally to 15 for the season - the first Liverpool player to do so since Fernando Torres in 2009-10 - as he followed Raheem Sterling's clever lob.
"When you work with players like Luis Suarez, he is a Messi-type character in terms of he is angry when I give him a breather," said the Reds boss. "At the start of the season I tried to rest him and he didn't want it."

How do I get a job in forensics?
The specific education and experience requirements to be hired as a crime scene technician or forensic scientist are determined by each individual agency. In general, most law enforcement agencies look for a degree in criminal justice with a science emphasis. Any accredited laboratory is going to require a BA/BS degree in chemistry, biology or a natural science. Experience in the areas of photography, fingerprint examination, chain of custody, evidence handling and courtroom testimony can also be valuable and can be gained by completing an internship or joining local forensic organizations. It is helpful to research job listings and job descriptions for the city and state governments in the area you would like to work.
My house/car was broken into, why didn't the Forensic Unit respond to process it?
Each officer in West Valley City is equipped with a digital camera and a fingerprint kit and is trained to document and process general crime scenes. They will call for assistance from the Forensic Unit if necessary. Although the Forensic Unit may not respond to the scene, all items collected by the officer are then submitted and assigned to a Forensic Investigator for further analysis. Any developed prints will be entered and searched through AFIS and the detective handling your case will be notified of any results.
How long does it take to search a latent print in AFIS?
It depends on the clarity of the print, but in general it takes a Forensic Investigator around 30 minutes to enter and mark a print. Candidate results for a local search (just the records for the state of Utah) usually are returned within minutes. A candidate search through the FBI records for all 50 states is usually returned within a few hours, but can take up to 24 hours depending on how busy the system is that particular day. Any latent prints which are not identified are registered and remain in the database to be searched against new records which are added daily.
How many cases does the Forensics Unit work a year?

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Two senior Australian government ministers have announced they will quit politics just days after beleaguered Prime Minister Julia Gillard said elections will be held Sept. 14.
Government leader in the Senate, Chris Evans, the third most senior government minister, and Attorney General Nicola Roxon announced Saturday they are resigning from the Cabinet.
Evans, the minister for tertiary education, skills, science and research, said he will quit the Senate within months. Roxon will leave Parliament at the next election.
The resignations mean Gillard will make a major reshuffle of her cabinet before her center-left Labor Party government faces likely defeat at elections.
Gillard surprised Australians on Wednesday by announcing the election date. Governments traditionally give the opposition little more than a month's notice. She praised both ministers for their contribution.

(Reuters) - Netflix Inc doubled Chief Executive Reed Hastings' 2013 salary to $4 million, after a pay cut this year, the video rental company disclosed in a regulatory filing late on Friday.
Of the $4 million, Hastings will receive half in cash and half in stock options. This compares to $500,000 in cash and $1.5 million in stock options the company gave its CEO for 2012, and a combined payout of $3.5 million for 2011. (http://r.reuters.com/dev84t)
Netflix's high-profile Silicon Valley CEO Hastings took a pay cut this year in the wake of an ill-fated attempt to split the DVD and streaming operations, even as the company missed its own subscriber guidance.
The stock has tumbled more than 70 percent since touching a high of $304.79 in July 2011, although it has risen about 23 percent since the beginning of 2012.
The final value of the stock options, which vest on a monthly basis to Netflix employees, depend on how its shares perform. The company, however, does not give out performance based incentives like many other listed entities.

Who has experiences with (OTA) Over-the-air digital HD antennas?
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
They say over the air broadcast TV using a digital antenna and built in HD tuners in your HD TV can be as good as or better than cable or satellite quality. (You still need to strip the commercials.) If so, can anyone recommend an antenna?0
I picked up the Winegard FreeVision Indoor/Outdoor HDTV antenna a few years ago and had it professionally installed in my attic. Orientation and height are critical to HDTV reception success.
I also used http://www.antennaweb.org/ to help with orientation and antenna selection.
I use WMC on Windows 7 with WtvWatcher to strip any commercials.
I'm quite satisfied. Your results may vary based on your location relative to the towers.
I bought an inexpensive HDTV antenna online - paid less than $20. It was one that sits on top of the TV, like old-school bunny ear antennas. I live 20 miles outside of Boston, and I know that our PBS station, WGBH, has 3 or 4 different HDTV channels, so I thought I might pick up something. Well, I didn't have any luck with it. Nothing but total static, no matter how I moved or adjusted the antenna. Not even a blip or change in the static. Nothing. Little ventured, little lost. But I couldn't get it to work at all.
I installed a Terk HDTVO Antenna, and the picture quality was indeed a step up -- much better than basic/extended cable, and better than even the premium "HD" cable for some channels. The downside was that in inclement weather the signal would sometimes deteriorate, cutting out entirely for 10-20 seconds at a time, and after two years one of the vanes on the unit broke.
After some research, I subsequently bought and installed a Winegard HD7084 antenna. It did require a little more work to put in (we first had it mounted using a Winegard SW-0010 tripod, and then moved it to a chimney mount when our roof was replaced), but the reception and picture quality have been flawless, year 'round through every thunderstorm and blizzard.
I second the recommendation for the use of AntennaWeb to correctly aim the antenna, for which you'll need a good compass. (I used and can recommend the Suunto M-2.)
With a digital antenna and a streaming video service (e.g. Netflix), cable TV bills are thankfully a fading memory in our house.
I had the mohu leaf antenna for the past few years and have been very happy with its performance. I received all of the major networks and many other channels as well. It is important to note that the antenna must be repositioned to pick up stations coming in from different directions.
I went through 4 HD antennas before finding the $15 Monoprice indoor antenna. It's been rock solid for me, no need to move it or adjust it to re-tune for different channels. No dropouts even in rain. It receives all channels listed in my area on antenna web that are yellow or red. Blue/violet channels do not work (these are the furthest away).
it has a built-in amplifier that you plug in. and the amp is in the correct location for best performance (it's built into the antenna itself).
They make other antennas that are wall-mount or outdoor mount, but i'm in good enough area not to need those (but other antennas were still terrible). Monoprice also sells through Amazon where you can get Prime shipping but the price doesn't always match their web site special.
TV antennas pull in radio signals. Each TV channel responds to a specific radio frequency, Analog, digital, HDTV signals are all transmitted by selected frequencies. If your old 1960's UHF roof antenna worked well for your old analog TV, it will work (maybe great) for HDTV broadcast on that channel.
"HDTV Antenna" is nonsense. What counts is that you get an TV antenna that matches the radio frequencies (TV channels), available in your area.
If you want to find out more about OTA TV you 'MUST' visit the Digitalhome.ca website. There you will find about absolutely anything about OTA TV, even how to build your own TV Antenna, that will outperform anything on the market.
Watch out, I got hooked to that forum.
cheers, Sanberdino
One More!
To find all available TV channels for your particular area (works for USA and Canada -- ZIP CODE and Google Map coordinates), use "TV FOOL's Signal Locator" on the TVFool.com website.
I have a giant old Channel Master (a yagi directional, agree about HD antennas being nonsense) and amplifier and have been watching HD OTA since ~2001, what little was available back then. I have distance issues and the edge channels can be patchy, but I get the 4 majors, lots of PBS, and some Independents. Picture is excellent and of course the sound is another key, I channel it though my receiver using an optical connection. Sports and movies can be great that way.
Go ahead, do it and cut the cord, augment with streaming and enjoy ditching the monopoly.

A little palm ball from Jose Reyes, too.
DeGrom dominated until ripping a callus on his pitching hand in the seventh, then Reyes helped him escape a no-out, bases-loaded jam that inning to send the Mets over the Los Angeles Angels 3-0 on Friday night and snap a seven-game losing streak.
DeGrom (3-1) ended a 17-game stretch in which no Mets starters got an out in the seventh inning, tying a club record set in 2002.
It was a tough hump to get over.
DeGrom was visited by manager Terry Collins and a team trainer at the start of the seventh inning after fidgeting with his throwing hand. The righty pointed to his ring finger during the brief visit, but stayed in the game.
With the Mets leading 2-0, deGrom walked C.J. Cron, was visited by pitching coach Dan Warthen to talk mechanics and then hit Martin Maldonado with a 3-1 pitch to load the bases before striking out Danny Espinosa with a 96 mph fastball for the first out.
Pinch hitter Ben Revere then blooped a ball to shallow center that Reyes bobbled and caught. Andrelton Simmons broke from third base when the ball hit the shortstop in the palm of his glove, and had to hurry back when it popped into the air.
"When the ball hit the glove, I said, Oh man," Reyes said.
Reyes corralled the rebound, then turned to keep the runners stuck at their bases.
"That ball drops in in the last seven days, for sure," Collins said.
Cameron Maybin then flied out to right to end the inning.
DeGrom retired 13 straight before Kole Calhoun's two-out single in the sixth. He gave up four hits, struck out nine and walked three in seven innings. It was a timely start for the Mets, who entered Friday ranked last in the majors with a 5.13 ERA and with Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Seth Lugo on the disabled list.
"We've got to get our pitching moving forward," Collins said. "We didn't break camp with imagination. These guys are legit, and we've got to get them right so as we head into the big months of summer, that we know what we got and those guys are pitching like they can."
Jerry Blevins got two outs in his major league-leading 25th appearance, Paul Sewald recorded an out in the eighth and Addison Reed pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
The Angels had averaged 6.3 runs over their previous six games, including wins in their last four.
"All night, we didn't get too many good looks at him," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said about deGrom. "He pitched a good game for those guys, but when we did get a couple of looks, he made some pitches and got out of it."
Ricky Nolasco (2-3) allowed two runs, one earned, over six innings.
Michael Conforto led off the seventh with a homer to left, his second in two games, team-high 11th this season and sixth to the opposite field.
Reyes' juggle was the second unusual bounce for the Mets as they opened a seven-game homestand. In the first inning, Curtis Granderson lined an RBI double down the left field line that caromed off the ball boy's stool, kicked behind the rolled up tarp then ended up under a towel that had been resting on the stool, all before umpire Ben May called time. Left fielder Maybin threw his hands up before grabbing the ball and firing to the infield, catching Granderson between bases. Granderson was frozen on the basepath before realizing time was called.
Collins managed his 1,012th game with the Mets, tying Davey Johnson for the most with the franchise. Collins is 498-514 in seven seasons with New York.
The Mets avoided their first eight-game skid since losing 11 straight in 2004.
Reigning AL MVP Mike Trout singled twice in his first game at Citi Field since the 2013 All-Star Game. Trout is from Millville, New Jersey, and his parents traveled to Queens for the game. It was Trout's first time facing deGrom.
Alex Rodriguez will be in the booth along with Joe Buck for Saturday's Fox broadcast. A-Rod made his debut as an in-game color analyst Thursday night when the Yankees played at Kansas City.
Angels: Albert Pujols was not available to play because of a sore right hamstring. Scioscia said Pujols had an MRI, which showed tendinitis in the hamstring. ... Huston Street (right lat strain) threw Friday in extended spring training.
Mets: C Travis d'Arnaud (right wrist), Matz (left elbow) and Lugo (right elbow) made their first rehab appearances Thursday with Class A St. Lucie. Matz may join Triple-A Las Vegas in New Orleans next week. D'Arnaud also caught nine innings for St. Lucie on Friday.
Mets righty Zack Wheeler (2-2, 3.76) has allowed one earned run in each of his last three starts, going 1-0 with a 1.62 ERA. He'll work Saturday night against 6-foot-9 Angels righty Alex Meyer (2-1, 5.59), who pitched one-run ball into the seventh inning against Detroit last time out.

4 Common Myths of Aging Dispelled
Maylin Rodriguez-Paez, RNOur culture has come to accept a number of myths when it comes to aging, many of which are largely fueled by Hollywood.
In fact, pop culture tends to paint a pretty sobering picture of growing older, colored by misery, weakness, and disease.
The reality, however, is that although certain changes and diseases are more common with age, many of them are largely preventable.
Below, we'll debunk some of the more common myths of aging to help set the record straight.
Myth: Older People Tend to be CrankyAs we age, the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin decreases,1 which can increase the risk of age-related mood problems.
So maybe there's a little truth to this myth. However, several studies show that happiness actually increases with age.
In the United States, researchers surveyed over 350,000 people and found that individuals over the age of 50 were generally happier. Also, they were less likely to feel stress and anger.2
Scientists think this may have to do with better coping skills and more realistic expectations that tend to come along with age.
Regardless, if you need a little help in the mood department, consider looking into nutrients like SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). It enhances the production of neurotransmitters and has been clinically shown to alleviate depressed moods.3
Myth: Dementia is a Normal Part of AgingAs we get older it is normal to be forgetful at times. Dementia, on the other hand, is not a normal part of aging.
Dementia affects memory, judgment, behavior, and even language skills. Fortunately, the majority of older people don't develop it. In truth, only approximately 14% of Americans over the age of 71 actually have this condition.4
The bottom line is that older people can improve their memory through practical exercises, solid nutrition, and even supplementing with nutrients.
If you're looking for a memory boost, consider nutrients such as phosphatidylserine. It can help to maintain a healthy brain structure as it supports the release of acetylcholine,5 a neurotransmitter which plays a vital role in cognitive function.
In a clinical study, individuals given 300 mg of phosphatidylserine had significant improvements in learning and memory.6
Myth: Erectile Dysfunction is InevitableResearch shows approximately 10% of men will experience erectile dysfunction.7 The likelihood of this tends to increase as men get older. However, this condition is strongly associated with disease more than aging itself. One particular disease that is strongly associated with ED is heart disease.8
So is ED preventable? For the most part, the answer seems to be yes. And there are nutrients that may help to preserve sexual function as well.
For example, several studies show that pine bark extract and L-arginine support the production of nitric oxide,9 a compound needed for maintaining erections. At the conclusion of one clinical trial, more than 90% of participants using the combination achieved normal erectile function.9
Myth: Expect Weakness and Fatigue as You AgeWhile it's true that aging often robs us of some of our energy, dramatic energy drops are usually due to disease or a sedentary lifestyle. Heart disease and hypothyroidism, for example, may lead to fatigue.
Fortunately, research shows that exercise relieves fatigue.10 It also increases the size and number of your mitochondria — the cellular organelles which produce your energy.11
As long as your doctor says you're okay, you should consider engaging in an exercise program. If you tire easily while exercising, consider supplementing with CoQ10. It's been clinically shown to enhance exercise endurance,12 and it also boosts cellular energy production.13
Truth is, our culture is loaded with myths about aging, many of which are not necessarily true.

Building Trends: Understanding the framework of construction cost
September 8, 2012
Editor's note: This article is the third is a series of five leading up to the Summit County Parade of Homes.
The cost to build homes varies across the country. Geographic location, size and style are all contributing factors to the construction cost. Because of various site conditions, desired aesthetics and engineering requirements, homes built in Summit County are typically designed from the ground up as custom homes.
Before the first shovel hits the ground, permits, as well as tap, line extension and impact fees, can cost as much as $45,000 without adding any noticeable value to the home.
Summit County has a mandated sustainable building code called the Summit Sustainable Building Code.
This code can add an additional 300 percent to the cost of insulation. Because Summit County is located in climate zone 7, which is equivalent to locations in northern Canada, additional consideration is given to higher U-values for windows and doors, better insulation methods and R-values for walls and roofs, specialized air-sealing techniques and methods, unique flashing details and electrical needs.
Heavy snow loads, frost depths and wind loads result in extreme engineering requirements that call for additional structural steel or framing requirements, as well as additional concrete that simply isn't necessary in other parts of the country.
Recommended Stories For You
Finally, some homeowners associations require certain types of exterior finishes and architectural elements that significantly increase costs, as superior-quality finishes can quickly add $100 per square foot.

Having recently suffered a serious injury, I am spending the majority of my days bedridden. Given this abundance of spare time, I have returned to CW - and have been disheartened by the lack of an active pbem league. This CWPL looks to have ground to a halt (judging by the most recent postings) and I believe an active fantasy league is a vibrant, competitive and key component of forum life.
The moral of the story is I have nothing but time, and an interest in running this sort of competition.
My proposal is thus; to institute and administrate a new pbem forum league. This will provide both an exciting prospect for CW'ers, and give me something to occupy my mind with.
I believe such a game runs best when the players have an input into the structure of the competition. Based on this I have designed a couple of models with which to run the league, from which forumites may select a preference.
The first point of order, however, is to determine interest in such a prospect so that I may fine-tune the models according to demand. Obviously with so little divulged thus far, you may be a little unsure of what exactly you are registering interest for. Because of this, rest assured that any expression of interest at this point is not a steadfast commitment; once the level of interest is ascertained and the models adjusted accordingly, registration will commence. Forumites who have registered an initial interest will be given priority on franchises at this later stage.
Would you be interested in participating in a new forum-based PBeM game?
Do you have anything else you would like to add/suggest?

Q: Is it too cold to treat my algae blooms?
Ashley – Cross Junction, VA
A: The bane of pond keepers, algae—be it planktonic pea soup, filamentous pond scum or bottom-dwelling chara—can be treated any time of year, as long as the water temperature in your pond or lake is above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
But what's so special about the magical 60-degree temp?
Though algae will grow at temperatures lower than that, the chemicals in both Pond Logic® Algae Defense & Treatment Booster™ PLUS Combo and Applied Biochemists Cutrine®-Plus Granular Algaecide that are used to control suspended, floating and bottom-of-the-pond algae require warmer water temperatures to work properly.
If you're unsure of your lake's water temperature, use a pond thermometer, like the Pond Logic® Floating Pond Thermometer, to get a fast and accurate reading.
Here are three more tips for treating fall algae blooms:
1. Heavier doses may be required: When treating well-established algae or algae that has grown later in the season, you may need to up your dosage rates to get the same effect as when treating fresh algae or algae that has sprung up in the spring. Read the product's label for safe usage guidelines.
2. Use the right product: Pond Logic® Algae Defense & Treatment Booster™ PLUS Combo will take a serious toll on planktonic, filamentous and chara growth, but Applied Biochemists Cutrine®-Plus Granular Algaecide works especially well on chara. Well-established chara will build up a chalky deposit, which gives it super powers against chemical treatments. But the Cutrine®-Plus granules sink to the bottom of the pond and dissipate right where that nuisance algae resides.
3. Watch the weather: The best time to apply Algae Defense® and Cutrine®-Plus Granular is in the morning on a calm, sunny day. For the Algae Defense®, simply mix with water and spray with a pressurized sprayer; for the Cutrine®-Plus Granular, broadcast the granules in the area that needs to be treated.
Once the water temperature dips below 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you're out of luck when it comes to treating algae blooms. But you can revel in the fact that they will slow down when the water reaches 50 degrees or so—only to emerge again come spring!

The Carbon-Neutral City
On Monday, October 3, the Seattle City Council unanimously approved Resolution 31312, endorsing a path toward reducing Seattle's net greenhouse gas emissions level to zero by 2050. Section One of the resolution resolves that the "City adopts the following climate protection and adaptation goals:
- Seattle will strive to reach net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050; and
- Seattle will be prepared for the likely impacts of climate change."
The Council action sets preliminary emissions targets for Seattle in three sectors: transportation, building energy, and waste. The resolution is the culmination of a year-long process guided by community input and informed by in-depth technical analysis and includes some of the most aggressive emissions targets among cities in the world. A City Council stewardship team developed the resolution in cooperation with the Office of Sustainability and Environment and with the support of Mayor Mike McGinn.
This action is a historic and significant step in our quest to stabilize the Earth's climate. Seattle becomes one of the first city governments in the world to declare that the goal of being carbon neutral—reducing our net (GHG) emissions to zero—is desirable, realistic, and attainable.
The City Council began the path towards being a 'climate positive' city in 2001, when we first adopted the goal of meeting the requirements of the Kyoto Protocol, the internationally negotiated treaty that the United States is the only industrialized nation never to ratify. We have reached that goal of a 7 percent reduction in GHG emissions by 2010. Now the impacts of climate change are increasing, and the Copenhagen Accord of 2009 acknowledged that the world must reduce carbon emissions by more than 80 percent by 2050 if we are to avoid the risks of catastrophic impacts. Net zero emissions is an ambitious but likely necessary goal to set for a city like Seattle in the nation that produces the most GHG emissions per capita.
When we initiated the community dialogue around carbon neutrality in 2010, the City also commissioned the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) to develop scenarios to determine whether net zero emissions was achievable. The SEI report concluded that current technologies and an array of public and community actions could reduce emissions by more than 85 percent. The remainder could be achieved using offsets or sequestration.
We are now ready to take the next steps in developing our forty-year plan, including a set of targets for those areas that the City has the most influence over, and recommendations for areas where we need collaboration and cooperation from the community and other governments.
Highlights of the adopted targets include (see Resolution 31312 for complete table):
|2020 Targets
|2030 Targets
|14% reduction in VMT
|20% reduction in VMT
|Building energy
|8% reduction in energy
|20%reduction in energy
|Increase waste diversion rate to 69%
|Increase waste diversion above 70%
|Total GHG emission reduction
|30% reduction in GHG
|58% reduction in GHG
Reductions are a percentage of 2008 baseline figures. VMT stands for Vehicle Miles Traveled.
The resolution launches the Climate Action Plan update, which will be the next major step in this process. The Office of Sustainability and Environment will engage the community to help identify climate action priorities and will convene technical advisory groups to analyze and recommend specific strategies for reducing the city's greenhouse emissions in the transportation, building energy and waste sectors. The Climate Action Plan will be our road map for meeting our carbon neutrality goals.
The resolution also outlines a set of additional steps, including:
- Evaluating potential changes in City regulations and policies, incentives for private action, intergovernmental coordination at the regional, state, and federal level, and public education campaigns;
- Addressing how offsets and other beneficial City actions can be used to reach climate goals, such as urban and watershed forest management, recycling, and energy conservation and renewable energy resource development that could help position City Light as a climate restoration utility;
- Identifying how climate protection and adaptation actions can be integrated with City economic development objectives;
- Developing strategies (including consumption-based GHG reduction strategies) for businesses, households, and individuals to contribute to climate protection through their purchases, participation in the Local Food Action Initiative and other means.
Seattle was recently named the greenest city in North America. Living up to that honor and attaining these ambitious emissions goals will require the engagement of the whole city. This resolution is the starting point for a community dialogue about how the public and the private sectors can work together toward carbon neutrality.
- What does it mean for a city to go carbon neutral? for more from Richard's blog.
What if buildings, communities, and infrastructure projects were designed to be beautiful, socially just, and as gentle on the environment as plants are?
There's simply no room for waste in a carbon neutral city. Seattle has a plan to cut its contribution to landfills—and it's working.

I am trying to make a crazy quilt using the paper piecing method on a muslin foundation. So far, all I can find for instructions is to draw the block design onto a piece of muslin using the light underneath glass or tape it to the window approach. Does anyone know of a simpler faster method to get the block design on the muslin backing?.

Angelina Jolie Shops in Queensland with the Kids!
Angelina Jolie holds her five-year-old son Knox's hand while going shopping with her twins on Sunday afternoon (October 27) in Queensland, Australia.
The 38-year-old actress also brought along Vivienne and Pax to pick up some party balloons. Perhaps she is planning a Halloween party for the family this weekend?
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Angelina Jolie
Earlier in the week, Angelina was spotted on the set of her film Unbroken, which she is currently directing down under in Australia.
Brad Pitt's new movie The Counselor, in which he has a supporting role, opened in theaters this weekend and unfortunately isn't expected to do well at the box office with just $9 million. It also received a dreaded "D" CinemaScore from audiences, according to Deadline.
FYI: Knox is wearing Jagged Culture shorts.

Word broke just days ago that Elizabeth Olsen was up for a role in Gareth Edward's upcoming reboot of the Godzilla franchise and, today, Olsen confirmed her involvement in the project on the BAFTA red carpet.
"It's definitely not lighthearted," Olsen says of Edwards' take. "It's kind of going back to its roots of the original Japanese film."
The 1954 original was directed by Ishirô Honda and the Godzilla character (originally Gojira) was designed to serve as an allegory for nuclear weapons. Especially compared to some of the campier sequels that would follow, Godzilla is a decidedly somber film and it appears that that tone will be emulated in Edwards' version.
Likely to also star Bryan Cranston and Aaron Johnson, Godzilla hits theaters May 16, 2014.

The protests of Via Campesina and Brazils Landless Workers Movement (Movimento Sem Terra - MST) have been critical to the outcomes of this meeting. The protests continue this morning as 6000 peasant farmers are outside greeting buses of delegates as they come in. The protests have been so important in maintaining momentum and reminding delegates what was said last week against Terminator, reminding them how interventions from peasant farmers and Indigenous peoples made them understand the real impacts Terminator would have.
This morning buses were forced to drive through a long corridor of protestors waving red MST flags - or cut across the road - either way the protest was visible and audible.
Many delegates have been affected by the protests, especially those who do not often interact or get so close to street demonstrations. In particular, for some sheltered bureaucrats in the North the demonstrations have had a powerful emotional impact and have communicated the real stakes for people.
On the final day of the meeting this is a critical message and one that government delegates should now take home.
