More proof ^^^ what the libs here know about economics collectively couldn't fit in the Monopoly game thimble. Discussing economics with these dopes who see every ill as GOP caused when it is in fact the exact opposite is a fool's errand.
From overspending to a multiple of the most pork-laded GOP Congress to the massive economic drag of illegal aliens and other leeches to crashing the housing market it's all on (D) even if the low-intelligence (D) voters dont know it. The rot set in after (D) took Congress in 2006 and its not coincidence.
Cutting taxes never got the gov't more revenue and was done twice, onc e to get out of Clintons recession and the next after 9/11's aftermath, which was caused by crap/unenforced lib immigration policies / the Gorelick wall. If you dont understand how lower taxes is pro-growth you are uneducable.
(Between 9/11 and FNMA mismanagement Gorelick should be in leg irons, but that's beside the point)
The idiots revision of history now extends to 9/11 being an optional war...
Raising taxes in a recession, penalizing SMB, not allowing proper exploitation of natural resources, all anti-growth. The absolute worst recovery in decades presided by the party who controls 2 branches of govt yet its not their fault - get a clue
Things are actually not better. There are more people unemployed than at any time during the Bush era - both as a % and actual hard numbers. How is that good.
Spending is now at an all time high and has been for the Obama term and it's accelerating.
Debt is exploding. It's not GWB's anymore.
Obama got his "rich man" tax increase on Jan 1 and than RENEGED on cutting spending. HE LIED.
THe sequester is a good thing. Time to pay the piper. I say DOUBLE the amount of the sequester. Instead of 85Bill this year (that's over 10 months), make it $200 Bill a year in cuts. There is waste everywhere Target the cuts. Cut even more military. Cut gov salaries and expenses. These gov agencies are having parties all over the place at luxurious hotels. Why? Try that in a corporation.
Agency managers and that includes the Pentagon are poor money managers and planners.
I do have millions in bonds, much more than my stocks. Not too much at all in U.S. issued paper, however. Nasty stuff.
Lots of U.S. corporates (solid ones) and TAX FREE municipals. Not much growth in either but LARGE monthly dividend distributions.
I will not tender too much advice (not licensed) but will suggest a balanced portfolio to all.
I have a couple million in stocks also. That's where I get my long term growth. My TOTAL return is satisfactory. I'm not that greedy.

Clarksville School Board members approved a proposed school tax rate of 41.5 mills for the 2007 fiscal year Thursday, an increase of 7 mills above the district's current millage.
The millage increase would provide funds to construct a new elementary school to house students in grades 2-4, a building project the board has been discussing for several months.
Thursday night, during a special called meeting, board members approved a budget for the 2007 fiscal year, which will begin July 1, 2007 and end June 30, 2008, that includes $12.5 million in building expenses.
In order for the millage increase to take effect, voters must approve the proposed increase at the school election Sept. 19.
In February, board members passed a resolution dedicating $8.6 million in local resources for the elementary school project, which would cost a total of $19.2 million.
Superintendent Don Johnston previously said the elementary school project would require a millage increase of 9 mills if the state did not approve a partnership with the district. If the partnership were approved, according to Johnston, the district would need an increase of 5 mills.
Also on Thursday, the board unanimously authorized Johnston to enter into a contract to purchase about 108 acres across from the primary school property at $7,870.35 an acre, contingent upon the board's final approval of the contract and a property inspection by a board-approved licensed engineer.
The school board has held numerous work sessions and meetings during the last year to determine how to accommodate for an increasing student enrollment. Building options the board has discussed included construction of a new junior high, new middle school and new elementary school.
In January, the board held a special meeting to hear a report from Glen Cochran and Kellar Noggle, retired school administrators who have worked on school facilities studies.
Cochran and Noggle spent a day touring the district's facilities and made a recommendation to build an elementary school on the land near the primary school, which is already district-owned.

9-26-2011 Safeco Field
With the 2011 baseball season coming to a close I made arrangements to be able to attend at least the last Mariner home game of the season. Which is on Wednesday. It will probably be a very emotional night for most. Today's game would start at 7:10pm and of course I got to the stadium early enough to attend batting practice. A small crowd gathered at the gates on this gloomy, rainy day in Seattle.
When I ran inside I immediately checked the centerfield gap and the sod farm behind the centerfield wall. To my surprise there were a few baseballs lying around and one within grasp. I quickly assembled my glove-trick and went after one.
"You need to lower your rubber band and you can't do that right now." Said a voice over my shoulder. I could hear other security guards in the centerfield bleachers whistling at me and hollering for me to stop but I didn't care. I wanted to get on the board with at least one baseball this game…whatever the cost. If I get yelled at, so be it.
"I need to do what?" I responded.
"You have to stop that." said the security guard again.
And at the moment I was reeling the baseball up. It wasn't a baseball from Felix Hernandez or anything but it was well worth the trouble and the harassment from security.
I hung around the party deck for a while mainly because the crowd was so thin I wasn't worried about anyone beating me to the seating bowls to scavenge for any loose baseballs. Steve Delabar was snagging balls in centerfield and when he tossed one up to a couple of girls I knew I'd be glove-tricking my second baseball out of the gap. Not that they're girls and they can't catch, it's just that they weren't wearing gloves and it's hard to catch baseballs without a glove. I retrieved the baseball for them and here is the result:
I wandered the bullpen area looking for more chances to use the glove-trick and I was stopped by one of the Safeco Field seating hosts, Bronson. He made a generous donation of $20 dollars towards Snagging Baseballs for Puppies and had me sign one of his baseballs that he got. I felt honored to be able to put my name on it and if you've ever signed a baseball it's a lot harder than it looks.
Once the upper level opened up I raced down to the third base seating to look for any baseballs that were hit into the rows. I was able to find this one:
After I found the baseball in the above photo I walked over to the railing and called out to Tom Wilhelmsen.
"Hey, Tom. Do you want to play catch for a little bit? I found a baseball!" I said as I held it up and shrugged at him.
"Play catch? Okay, maybe a few throws, bud." he replied back.
I tossed him the baseball I found, (usually I ask to play catch with the baseball player after they field a baseball to get them to throw it to me) and after I tossed it to him a baseball was hit near him. He sort of flinched a little and threw the baseball back to me and then told me this was probably not a good idea.
I told him I understood, I mean, I didn't want him to get hit by a baseball. And I really didn't think about that until after the fact. But nonetheless, I got to play catch with Tom Wilhelmsen for about a half a second and it was a really awesome half of a second too. Here's a picture of Tom after we got done playing catch:
I walked the entire way around the stadium to the first base side of the stadium. And when I got there this is what I found:
Can you believe that? It was probably 5:20pm and this baseball in the above photo had been sitting there in plain view this whole time! Not only did I find this one but I found this one too…
…and just like that I had five baseballs on the evening! I would have had six but this baseball was incredibly hard to get plus security was standing right by me:
While I was staring down at this baseball and taking pictures the Mariners started to jog off the field. Batting practice for them had ended and I was way out in right field by the fair pole. I wanted to be at the dugout when BP ended so I literally had to sprint through the rows to get there in time. And when I did I got Jaime Navarro to toss me my sixth baseball of the evening. And by the way, this was my competition while I was messing around in the first base seating bowl:
I raced behind home plate, switched hats, took notes and moved down in the front row where the Oakland Athletics were already out stretching and warming up. I was sitting at six baseballs and I really wanted to break my single game record. All I had to do was snag one more baseball. After a few errant throws that nearly hit a couple of fans I met up with Todd Cook and his family. I got word from Twitter that he'd be visiting Safeco Field at the end of the month and it was really awesome to meet up with them. If you want to check out his blog you can by clicking here. Just as I ran over to them to shake Todd's hand a baseball struck little Tim right in the arm as he was watching the Athletics. It looked like the baseball hit him square in the shoulder but later the medical staff at Safeco Field confirmed that he got hit in the hand and he was okay. Nothing was broke, thank goodness. While they rushed off to see the medics, Dave Valle came out on the upper deck and asked me what happened and where they were going. I made sure to fill him in on all the important details. After waiting around for about five minutes I decided to head up to Guest Services myself and make sure Tim was okay. Ballhawking could wait when their was a fellow 'Hawker injured.
Fifteen minutes later we all walked out of Guest Services and headed down to the 3rd base seating bowl. Tim wanted to just hangout for a while, and I didn't blame him. I had been hit by a baseball before and it really does hurt. I couldn't imagine how much pain Tim was in.
I wandered back down to the bullpen area and just as I got there a couple of baseballs were hit near me. Here's a picture of one:
I was watching security to make sure they weren't standing by making sure I didn't go after it and when they turned their back on me that's when I made my move. I nearly had to talk my way into the spot in front of the ball because the lady that was blocking me assumed I was going to jump into the bullpen to get the baseball. I reassured her that's what I wasn't going to do and when I started to assemble my glove-trick she got the idea. First I had to knock the baseball closer by flinging my glove out passed the baseball and then by dragging my glove backwards over the ball it knocked it onto the concrete part of the 'Pen. This was the result after I was able to reel it in:
The man in the above photo is Dino. I'm not sure if this was his first Mariners game or not but he's from Australia. If you look closely at the underside of the baseball it has the Anaheim Angels 50th Anniversary logo on it. Dino was very appreciative of the baseball and I passed out my charity business card to him and the people he was with. We shared a few stories of rescued dogs, took a few more pictures, and parted ways.
When I returned to the party deck one of my friends, Ryanna, that I attend baseball games with pulled me aside.
"There is a baseball that's stuck underneath the tarp in the back corner of the Mariners bullpen." She told me.
I, of course, had to investigate. And sure enough there was a baseball sitting in the corner. It wasn't just any baseball. It was another Anaheim Angels 50th Anniversary one. But I couldn't get it with my glove-trick. I had to wait for a grounds crew member. And when one finally arrived I asked him if he'd toss me the baseball. I got the "I'll lose my job" excuse but luckily he told me he'd tell the bullpen cop about it and hopefully he'd be able to help me. Fortunatly for me, I've been really friendly with the bullpen cops and I also know them by name. So it was pretty easy to get the baseball from him. And I gave that one away to another friend of mine, Krista, that attends nearly every Mariners home game. She's been wanting one of the special Angels ball all season so I felt pretty good about getting it to her. That was my eighth ball of the evening.
After that I engaged in a quick photo-op with the Todd and Tim:
I ran over to the Mariners side of the stadium at around 6:45pm to try to snag one more baseball. But none of the Mariners that were out warming up bothered to bring any baseballs with them. Alex Liddi and Luis Rodriguez played a quick game of catch in front of the Mariners dugout but it was actually a little too crowded for my taste so I ended up leaving and walking back to the party deck in centerfield.
The game itself was very entertaining. Especially when Brandon League came in to pitch in the ninth to try to notch save number 37. Which he did. The Mariners were able to hang on for a 4-2 win and a huge three-run home run by Justin Smoak pretty much sealed it for them too! The last game of the season will be played on Wednesday which I will be attending.
Also, a huge thanks to another good friend of mine, Carla, for donating $25 dollars to my charity. You can click on the link below to get more details or donate yourself. Her donation pushed me over the edge of $200 dollars raised this year. I never thought I'd end up raising so much money, so a huge thanks goes out to her and everyone else that has donated, pledged or done both.

Hi folks,
I got myself a spunky Samsung Galaxy Tab (GT-P1010) 7" tablet (no service plan, just the plain, off the shelf edition) about two months ago and have been puzzled by its slow charging time. I usually take note of how long lengthy processes take, such as charging my mobile devices (cellphones, laptop) or running hard disk diagnostics, so I could easily set a 'deadline' for when I'm gonna have to tend to that device again (say, plugging it off).
Anyway, I thought I already nailed down the time it takes my Tab to recharge, which was 3.5 hours one time (yes, only one time) off the power outlet (I never charge via USB), but I guess that was off. I had a hunch the battery level reported when pressing the power button when the device is off is wrong, and perhaps 2.5 hours was actually enough to fill 'er up. I tried it today, charging the device at 12% battery level for 2.5 hours. After that duration the battery was just at 50%. I usually charge the device overnight while I sleep so it's ready the next morning but I have no idea how long it took to reach 100%. Extrapolating from 2.5 hours to get the battery from 12% to 50% will give us something like 6.5 hours. That's a pretty long time to recharge.
I've been looking all over the Net for information on how other users' experiences have been regarding charging the GT-P1000 / GT-P1010 (no 3G variant), and I came across this article at PC World saying the thing takes long to recharge. But how long is long?
http://www.pcworld.com/article/210376/s ... ablet.html
Anyone here who has a Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 or GT-P1010? What is your experience regarding charging time? Thank you in advance.

I have a parent who is working toward a doctorate at this school. I have learned a bit advice from this parent who was second in command at SJUSD...
My advice: Get the "H" out of CA and to a State that ENCOURAGES LESS MEDIA OVERLOAD!!
Don't push the idea that " EVERY PROBLEM CAN BE SOLVED ON THE INTERNET! ". That is one of the problems created by today's parents. EVERY company markets their Offerings with the small disclaimer " ask your parents " to go on-line to buy,buy, BUY their product.
My answer was to change my surroundings to were a child WANTS to go outside. The TV was in the same situation half a century earlier. It was " the perfect babysitter " which also sold products. I still turned it off to play outside...

Schools are the marketing playground for the tech companies around here. An app is being made for everything they do at school - state capitals, long division, DNA.. And how do kids access these apps? Oh yeah, they have to have a computer or an ipad. (cha-ching!) What was so wrong with a slate tablet and a piece of chalk - there might not be musical jingles or cartoon characters popping up but it gets the job done, old school style.

No matter what someone says the ultimate power still falls on the parents. Unless the kid somehow has money of their own the parensts are the ones paying for all this nonsense.
Turn off the TV and tell your kid to go outside.
Of course no one lets their kids go outside anymore. We're all terrified that the boogie man will get them.
When I was a kid I lived outside. My Mom wouldn't have let me sit on the couch watching TV. She would turn it off and tell me to go outside. And I did.

The biggest problem that most research neglects is that children are bombarded with consumer items when they go to the stores these days with their parents. It's no so much the media anymore. It's everywhere now and a lot harder to avoid then turning of the TV.

Authorities say more than 20 headstones were knocked over at the Jonesboro Cemetery on East Matthews Avenue.
Graves at the burying ground go as far back as 1815.
Police say some of the headstones were broken by the vandals.
The Jonesboro Sun reported many of the headstones were weathered and broken. But police said new damage was obvious because fresh dirt was exposed where the headstones were pushed over.
Cemetery officials say at least some of the headstones can be glued back together.
Police say the vandals could face felony charges.

Lunar Wind and Water
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles ejected from the upper atmosphere of the Sun. It mostly consists of electrons and protons with energies usually between 1.5 and 10 keV. The stream of particles varies in temperature and speed over time. These particles can escape the Sun's gravity because of their high kinetic energy and the high temperature of the corona. Three years ago University of Tennessee, Knoxville, researchers helped to discover water on the surface of the moon. Now, they are piecing together the origin of that water: solar wind. A new study published in this month's Nature Geoscience confirms solar wind as a source for water embedded in the lunar surface.
Lunar water is water that is present on the Moon. Liquid water cannot persist at the Moon's surface, and water vapor is quickly decomposed by sunlight and lost to outer space. Water, and the chemically related hydroxyl group, can also exist in forms chemically bound to lunar minerals (rather than as free water), and evidence strongly suggests that this is indeed the case in low concentrations over much of the Moon's surface
Last year Larry Taylor, distinguished professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, confirmed comets as the source for water inside the moon. This year, Yang Liu, research assistant professor, and Taylor have confirmed solar wind as the source for water on the outside—by depositing positively charged hydrogen atoms, or protons, onto its surface, allowing it to combine with the moon's oxygen to create water.
"When those protons hit the lunar surface with enough force, they break apart oxygen bonds in soil materials to join together and form water," said Liu. "This does not happen on Earth because our atmosphere and magnetic field protect us from being bombarded by these protons, but the moon lacks this protection."
The researchers used lunar samples from three Apollo missions, including one brought back by Neil Armstrong, analyzing something called an agglutinate. An agglutinate, which resembles "dirty Swiss cheese," is a unique product of space weathering in the lunar regolith, the crushed materials on the moon's surface. The agglutinate was chosen because it consisted of products suspected to contain hydrogen. The researchers used infrared spectroscopy to confirm the presence of hydroxyl. Then they used secondary ion mass spectrometry to obtain the amount of hydroxyl and the origins of the hydrogen.
The researchers discovered that most of the water in the agglutinates came from solar wind. Confirming the solar-wind- induced hydroxyl emphasizes the possibility of finding water on the surface of other similar airless bodies.
"This means water likely exists on Mercury and on the asteroids such as Vesta or Eros further within our solar system," said Liu. "These planetary bodies have very different environments, but all have potential to produce water. The finding also implies solar-wind contributes to water ice in lunar poles."
The research also identifies the largest reservoir for water on the lunar surface since regolith, and thus the corresponding hydroxyl is very widespread. This gives the moon the potential to serve as a habitat and gas station in the sky.
"The hydroxyl in such a volumetrically large reservoir is a valuable resource," said Taylor. "With the cost of $25,000 for taking one pint of water to the moon, water has the potential to be used as rocket fuel as liquid hydrogen or oxygen."

LAS VEGAS - After spending the first day of Vegas week at the Super 64, it was time to move on to the Fab 48 on Friday. Taking place on the beautiful campus of Bishop Gorman High School, the Fab 48 featured plenty of star power as guys like Anthony Wroten, DeAndre Daniels, Josiah Turner and several others got loose in front of a throng of college coaches.
Friday standouts
Anthony Wroten, PG, Seattle Rotary Select- Simply put, we didn't see anybody in the gym playing at a higher level than the tall lefty point from the Emerald City. Playing with some extra bounce in his step and focus, Wroten did a little bit of everything. He was knocking down his jumper from deep (even with his tendency to fade away which flattens his shot), beating guys off the dribble with ease and making some ridiculous passes. When focused like this, he's certainly got a wow factor to his game and brings a combination of size, athleticism and skill to the table that few guys can match. Very positive day for a kid who has had lots of expectations put on him since he was a middle schooler.
DeAndre Daniels, SF, Belmont Shore- Because of his 6-foot-8 size and ability to score on bigger players, Daniels is extra valuable and able to play the three or the four. Long term, though, he's a small forward with excellent size, good athleticism and a dangerous jumper. Went for 30 in a big afternoon effort against Team Detroit.
Amir Garrett, SF, Belmont Shore- A year ago, Garrett played almost like an undersized four man. Now, the 6-foot-5 wing is a dangerous small forward who could be on his way to becoming a two guard. He's super athletic, quick to the rim, has improved his handle and can make some jumpers. Defensively, he's one of the best in the class because of his superior lateral quickness.
Grant Jerrett, PF, Belmont Shore- Because of his high shoulders and long arms, the 2012 big man is able to play bigger than his 6-foot-8 size. Tremendously skilled around the bucket, he's got touch, footwork and a great motor. He doesn't always get good touches in the post, but he makes the most of them.
D'Von Campbell, PG, Brandon Bass Elite- The slight point guard is winning over fans and has emerged as a target of high majors in the market for a floor general from the class of 2011. He's very quick, delivers the ball to teammates in scoring position and he can get his offense as well. Had 25 on an assortment of drives, pull-ups and floaters.
Oakland Soldiers starting five- Josiah Turner, Nick Johnson, Jabari Brown, Kyle Wiltjer and Brandon Ashley combine to make up possibly the most talented starting unit in grassroots basketball. Friday afternoon, they teamed up to slaughter a Mac Irvin Fire squad that had been talking some trash before tipoff but put up next to zero resistance in a 40 point romp for the Soldiers. Turner got things going early by getting to the rim and hitting some pull-up jumpers. Johnson kicked in with some jumpers and transition finishes while Brown did his thing from the outside and Ashley and Wiltjer combined to clean up in the paint or facing up from the three point line.
Hikeem Stewart, SG, Friends of Hoop- It doesn't seem like there are enough people talking about the talented off guard from Seattle. A scorer by nature, he easily creates opportunities for himself off the dribble and is a dangerous sniper from deep. He's making a major push for inclusion in the Rivals150 for the class of 2011 the next time it gets updated.
Jarrod Uthoff, PF/SF, Iowa Barnstormers- A skilled combo forward who just committed to Wisconsin, the 6-foot-8 Uthoff made a very good first impression. He's lean, but can handle, is an excellent passer and can shoot the ball. He's a great fit for Bo Ryan's swing offense and will be in the next rankings discussion.
Maurice Harkless, SF, New York Panthers- Now, this is the Harkless that we were told about by our New York area contacts. Looking the part of a high level prospect, the 6-foot-7 wing did a little bit of everything. He handled the ball, got others involved, made some shots and got to the rim. His mentor/adviser Nate Blue listed Maryland, Florida, St. John's, Arizona, Miami, Memphis, Cincinnati, Seton Hall, Virginia, Florida State and Connecticut as schools that are involved.
Jernard Jarreau and Ricardo Gathers, PF, New Orleans Elite/D1 Ambassadors- Talk about two totally opposing styles and body types. In Jarreau, you've got one of the skinniest big men (around 6-foot-9 and maybe 180 pounds soaking wet) in the class of 2011 and a guy that can face up to shoot, runs the floor and is a long term "upside" guy. Then you have 2012's Gathers who continues to show that he's a power-broker in the lane who is relentless at the rim and has a body that is built for playing for big money on Sunday afternoons in the Fall. Though they differ greatly in style, each shows their own type of upside and long term potential.
Eric Copes, PF, Team Philly- George Washington has landed themselves a guy that many high major coaches in attendance were wishing they could have recruited. A physical interior guy with length, he chases rebounds in and out of his area, is sneaky athletic and plays with a lot of energy. Offensively, he's a bit raw but has good hands and relatively soft touch on the interior. But make no mistake about it, it's his willingness to play physical in the lane that makes him such a valuable score for GW.
More notes from Friday
Cezar Guerrero has really come a long way with his game in the past year. He's always been speedy, but he's learned to control that speed and is making much better decisions. He's an offensive minded guy, but he gets others involved and is one of the best pull-up jump shooters in the country. Belmont Shore plays high octane ball and he's able to keep them running. … Big man Daniel Green of the Dallas Mustangs Blue is an interesting guy to monitor from the class of 2011. He's starting to figure things out on the offensive end, is still growing into his 6-foot-9 frame and looks to have a pretty good motor. … Josh Oglesby of the Iowa Barnstormers has one of the best looking shooting strokes in the class of 2011. He's got good size at near 6-foot-5 and can handle the ball a bit. He mentioned Arizona State, Boston College, Northwestern, Illinois, Minnesota and Northern Iowa as the schools doing the most work with him. … He's still very young, but keep an eye out for 2014 wing Craig Victor who will attend St. Augustine in New Orleans. A long and lean small forward with excellent size, he moves fluidly, can shoot with range and has some game off the dribble. … At St. Augustine, Victor will be a teammate of Sydie London a 6-foot-3 shooting guard from the class of 2012. A wing who can shoot it from deep or attack off of the dribble, London is just one of those guys who is wired to score and we've got a feeling that we'll be hearing a lot more about him and many of the other New Orleans Elite/D1 Ambassador kids down the road. …
We weren't able to focus on the intense matchup between Team Odom and Play Hard Play Smart, but we were able to see enough to notice a couple of guys. For Team Odom, 2013 shooting guard Isaac Hamilton looks like a young wing with length, a pretty jumper and the ability to get buckets whenever he needs to. He's joined by a couple of 2011 guys who we hadn't seen in a while that are going to be a package deal for college in 6-foot-5 power wing Darius Nelson and rangy, but very athletic 6-foot-7 wing Ramon Eaton. Nelson loves to use his big frame and is a clever scorer off the dribble and from deep while Eaton does his damage near the rim, in transition and with the occasional jumper. … For Play Hard Play Smart, 6-foot-5 wing and recent San Francisco pledge Charles Standifer is a solid, physical wing while 2013 guards Dakarai Allen and D'Erryl Williams (who both team up with Nelson and Eaton at Sheldon high school in Sacramento) show potential and look to be division one prospects. … Finally, Terry Porter Elite features two guys that we are going to have to learn more about in 6-foot-7 forward Jameel McKay from Milwaukee (Wis.) Pulaski and 6-foot-4 wing Martell Collins from Milwaukee's Vincent High, both from the class of 2011. McKay is a long and bouncy guy who makes things happen from 15 feet and in while Collins is a hard charging wing who is very tough to stop on the baseline. Both guys look to be very solid (at the very least) mid major prospects and we'll try to catch them again before leaving Vegas. …

BERLIN – Ben Tate's
professional football future lies with the Houston Texans, but the second round
draft pick will be back in Berlin to celebrate his accomplishments with the
people of his home county on July 17.
Tate, a native of
Berlin, was a standout running back at Stephen Decatur and Snow Hill High
schools. He still holds the Maryland state high school record for most rushing
yards in a single season with 2,879 yards in 2004.
Tate fielded scholarship
offers from several schools during his high school years and went on to play
football for Auburn University. In college, he led the Auburn Tigers in rushing
all three seasons he played.
Then came the chance for
the running back to turn professional, and Tate landed on his feet after being
drafted in the second round.
"During the NFL draft
for 2010, he was drafted to the Houston Texans, second round, number 58," Barry
Brittingham said.
The Texans traded up
during the draft to take Tate and selected him with their second overall pick
of the draft.
Brittingham went before
the Berlin Mayor and Council this week with B.J. Johnson to get town council
permission to hold a Ben Tate Day on Saturday, July 17, with a parade followed
by a celebration in Stephen Decatur Park.
The celebration will
include free food, entertainment, autographs and pictures of Tate and T-shirt
giveaways, Brittingham said.
The Ben Tate Day
celebration will be entirely funded by Tate's business manager, according to
Other Houston Texans
might even attend the celebration this summer, Brittingham said Monday night.
"I think it's a
wonderful idea," said Councilwoman Lisa Hall.
Playing in the NFL was
Tate's lifelong dream, and many of his former teammates recall how he wanted to
some day be on the biggest stage of them all.
Tate, said Brittingham,
is a role model for local youth who proved that dreams do come true.
"He's very, very modest.
He always had a great disposition about himself," said Johnson, Tate's high school
basketball coach.
Johnson said Tate's
athleticism was apparent in high school and that he knew Tate would do well and
go far.
The football player
wants to inspire Berlin and Worcester County youth to set goals and find
success, instead of getting into trouble, Brittingham said.

I do! I have a Minolta Maxxum S7000.
Here's some pics i took with it
I do! I have a Minolta Maxxum S7000.
Here's some pics i took with it
Very nice shots. I have technically used film with those crappy disposables! I'd like to try developing my own film, hopefully if I get into Uni I'll get a good shot at it. I picked digital because its such a convenience, but there's no denying film has a certain charm with its look you can't get with digital.
I do!
There be my camera, Vivitar 220/SL. And about half my lenses for it.
Also have another body of that camera, an Olympus, and a broken Mamayia at home. With the rest of my lenses, flashes, etc.
Wish I had a digital for convenience though. No idea how to develop, nor do I have somewhere to do so, so it takes quite some time to actually get my pictures...
Beautiful <3
to be honest, i wish i still used film. when i was in school we had to use film, and i just loved developing the film and each individual picture
There's a rather poor selection of film in my town, and the developing services are fucking terrible. Apart from those two disadvantages, shooting film is an awesome experience and with the insane prices on DSLRS and accesories (I swear I've seen D3000s being sold for something like 1000 dollars, I haven't seen any lenses yet) film is a great option and maybe the only alternative to get a SLR built like a tank and good lenses over here.
I'll start developing my stuff in some days.
IMO film gives a surreal feeling to the image, its better for it
What are some of the advantages of film other than the unique feeling you get with the image?
Well if you really want to pixelpeep then there's a slightly higher resolution with some film, higher dynamic range, and then of course there's awesome grain, unlike digital noise, and nigga nothing beats black and white film.
Also it's relatively cheap to get a professional body and lenses in comparsion to a DSLR.
Everything just looks better in film, it's a fact.
I used 16mm tri-x reversal film in film school, pretty sure the camera was an Arriflex
Also, I have a Kodak Brownie Bull's-Eye Camera, but it only takes Kodak 620 film and I can't find it :C
bopie, how do you scan your images so well?
I need to get my two rolls processed and I just keep putting it off. Two rolls of 200 Kodak Elite Chrome.
to be honest i just drop off my rolls and ask for a CD back
Looking at the exif, I guess it shows how they scanned.
I'm afraid to ask for a CD. Knowing that they only hold 600Mbs, I feel like they will give me lower quality versions.
I still get the negatives, I just haven't gotten around to buying a scanner.
I get 10 images at about 5mb each on a single CD, next time I'll ask if they could bump it up.
Yep, love it. Film is still used hugely by professional photographers for its gorgeous results if used correctly. I know of a photographer for an Australian BMX magazine that shoots exclusively with Large Format film - shit takes skill.
I personally stick with 35mm on my Pentax MX.

anyone back me up on this?
I only use film for my photo class at school. We have to develop the film and prints ourselves, and its terribly time consuming because theres about 6 film tanks, and 10 enlargers, 4 of which done really work, for a 30 kid class.
It's awesome getting to do every step of the process ourselves.
ok, here's a wall of photos of mine I pretty much exclusively use film, except when I'm doing assignments in which case I do a mix of film and digital 9can't risk fucking it up)

sorry for destroying your b/w, hope you like them!
I went shopping for some earphones just now and the store had a Buy two get three thing going for some 200 Asa color film so I just bought them. I recently also bought a Pentax ME Super :D
Film is really fun actually. It makes you think about composition more than with digital. Plus the equipment is very cheap(excluding buying film and getting it developed)
I'd say it's a must to try if you like photography
It's certainly an interesting concept, what style would you think, complete improvisation (take a photo of a stranger sitting on a bench), semi planned (the top one where the guy, jeremy, has to change rolls and I grabbed a snap) or totally planned (like the bottom one where I told the girl, Clarrisa, to sit on the bench)?
Wow! Bopie....your medium format ones are amazing!! Is your camera autofocus? And what 120 film do you use?
Here's a shitty picture of it (obviously the one that says pentax on it)
Whatever you feel comfortable with most, but trust me, it's always nice having a series of photographs on the same theme.
Feels really 'complete'.
want to get back into film but im poor as fuck. I have a few rolls of ultramax 400 lying around which i might use sometime
ninja friend by codenamecueball, on Flickr
thats some serious 50mm 1.7 pentax action
This was taken on my mom's old Nikon FE using old film she had with it.
I also have my dad's Pentax... something. It was a sears-specific model but it's nice and has some more lenses to play with.
I'm fascinated with old film cameras, I always stop at antique shops and dig through their selection. Sometimes Goodwills have something neat, but 90% of the time they'll just have crap 1990's generic plastic point and clicks
some stuff from the other day
looking at this- cost $65 at the shop, will try bartering later. The 28-70 lens is jammed so you can only zoom about 35-55, pissed me off. Comes with a wire trigger, and I love that leather
bought this little bugger for $2, I just need the film. Shutter was jammed but I tinkered with it and something like a grain of sand fell out, works like a charm now.
the Montgomery Ward & Co Chicago "Premium", missing the lens and the big black cloak to hang over your head when changing slides, but comes with two of the original slides and is in amazing condition. $250... look but don't buy in my books.
Got my film to the photo place today (Gasser's for those interested). Asked for them to put it on digital. The worst part is that they charge a fuck ton for high res digital. What the fuck is that shit about? At least I'll get the film back. I'll scan it myself. Super excited.
200 Kodak Chrome Elite
Just got a second hand Canon F1-N with a 50mm 1.4 FD lens and a 35mm-150mm FD lens. The camera is a bit dirty (it's over 20 years old), but I've loaded a bit of black and white film and can't wait to get some of my shots processed!
Anyone have any tips for me regarding cleaning the camera? Each lens is a bit dirty, but with cleaning they're looking fine. Looking through the viewfinder however, it still looks dirty (small hairs, dust, dirt). I've taken off the lens and cleaned the mirror in the body but I dunno what to do because it's still a bit dirty when looking through the viewfinder. I hope it's not too noticeable in my shots!
Image from google:
There should be glass directly above the mirror, try cleaning that.
Sort of where that red dot is on the front of the camera.
That was spotless :/ I'm starting to think that the dirt is behind it?
Finished my first roll of B&W film today, ISO 200. I didn't do my homework previously and set some photos at a different ISO speed, so most will be ruined when I get them printed. Reckon I should get them developed? Only about 4-5 might be usable :S
Do it, I've set a colour 200ASA film to over 1000 before and still got usable pictures, to B+W will be fine.
Also, some medium format pictures coming.
Thanks buddy. €14.99 is a bit expensive to develop the Ilford B&W but I'll try and get it done over the next week :) I've got a 24 shot roll in this baby now, gonna be using it definitely on paddy's day :)
Anyone know of any good, cheap M42 mount bodies?
The lens for my OM-10 is broken and I already have some M42 lenses.

"Important and Ground-Breaking Step for a World-Wide Solution to the Problem of Landmines"
Vienna/Nairobi, 3 December 2004 - According to Foreign Minister Plassnik, the "Nairobi Summit on a Mine-Free World," the First Review Conference of the Ottawa Antipersonnel Mines Ban Convention, which closed under Austrian chairmanship in Nairobi today, was "a huge success."
"In the past 5 years since the Ottawa Convention took effect, enormous progress was made," Plassnik emphasised. 144 states had ratified the Convention, more than 37 million antipersonnel mines had been destroyed. However, there was "no reason to sound the all-clear signal because about 20,000 people continue to fall victim to landmines every year," warned the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The adoption of a concrete plan of action for the period 2005-2009 at the Nairobi Summit, which was closed today, would therefore be of great importance for the successful prosecution of the program regarding the fight against anti-personnel mines. "The action plan means a ground-breaking step for the solution of the mine problem in the upcoming years," emphasised Plassnik. The important thing would now be to attain "the most universal ratification of the Ottawa Convention possible." Numerous countries, including three permanent members of the UN Security Council, have not yet signed the Convention.
The Head of the Austrian Delegation to the Nairobi Summit, Dr. Peter Jankowitsch, a former Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, highlighted the significant progress which the Ottawa Convention meant for the international community and its endeavours for a mine-free world. He also described Austria's contribution to fighting the curse of mines. Since 2000, the Austrian Mine Action Programme has supported mine clearance projects, "Mine Awareness Programmes" and programmes for the rehabilitation of mine victims run by highly reputed international organisations such as ICRC; UNICEF, UNDP and the Slovene "International Trust Fund", in the focus regions of south-eastern Europe and southern Africa (currently Mozambique). Austria has contributed roughly six million euro since 2001. Moreover, for the Review Conference, Austria initiated a concept of landmine-free regions. With the support of the European Union, Slovenia presented the concept for Bosnia and Herzegovina as a landmine-free region by 2009 at the Review Conference.
Foreign Minister Plassnik expressed her thanks to the chairman of the Nairobi Summit, Ambassador Dr. Wolfgang Petritsch, Austria's permanent representative at the Office of the United Nations at Geneva, for his successful chairmanship. His nomination had been "in special recognition of the active role Austria plays in the fight against antipersonnel mines."

Saururaceae, or the lizard's-tail family, is native to North America and Southeast Asia. It includes five genera and six species, most of them aromatic herbs with creeping rhizomes (horizontal stems), and the plants generally inhabit wet areas.
Saururaceae and Piperaceae are closely related. Their inflorescences (flower clusters) are slender, spikelike, and covered with inconspicuous, closely appressed flowers. Even though individual flowers are small, the floral spikes are showy, and in several Saururaceae species the spikes resemble a single flower because of the expanded bracts that arise below the inflorescence. In Saururus the elongate cluster bends at its tip to suggest the fanciful appellation "lizard's tail." Other features common to most species of these two families include a sheathing leaf base, lack of sepals and petals, bisexual flowers (stamens and carpels in the same flower), and presence of one erect ovule per ovary chamber.
Hydnoraceae is a small family with seven species in two genera. They are terrestrial parasitic plants that lack leaves and chlorophyll. The large flowers have a single three-parted perianth whorl and an inferior ovary; they are foul smelling and are pollinated by flies and beetles. Prosopanche occurs in Central and South America, and Hydnora occurs in Africa, Madagascar, and the Arabian Peninsula. The southern African Hydnora triceps grows exclusively on succulent species of Euphorbia.
Aristolochiaceae, or the birthwort family, includes both woody vines and herbaceous species. Compared to other Piperales, the flowers are usually large, and some trap pollinating flies that are lured by unpleasant smells. Lactoris fernandeziana, the only species in Lactoris, is found on one island of the Juan Fernández Archipelago off the coast of Chile. The leaves have a sheathing base, and the flowers occur singly or in small clusters along the stem. The flower stalks, or petioles, appear to arise from a sheathing leaf base that lacks a leaf blade. Lactoris pollen has been recovered in southern Africa from sediments dating back to the late Cretaceous Period (99.6 million to 65.5 million years ago). Asarum and Saruma are herbaceous genera of the Northern Temperate Zone, most diverse in eastern Asia. Aristolochia includes more than 400 species of vines and herbs, many of them tropical. It is this group that is sometimes divided into two or four separate genera.
Reproduction by seeds is the main method of species dispersal in Piperales, but fragmentation of rhizomes in the lizard's-tail family assures vegetative propagation. The drupe is the prevailing fruit type in Piperaceae, or the pepper family, whereas dry fruits characterize the four other families.
Many Piperales species are cultivated ornamentals, including Saururus cernuus (lizard's tail); Peperomia species; Anemopsis from southwestern North America; Houttuynia, a ground cover from Asia; Asarum (wild ginger); and vining Aristolochia species, some known as Dutchman's pipe. Piper nigrum is the main source of the spicy condiment known as black pepper (but also green or white pepper).

By Naomi Dillon
Call it what you will -- harassment, incivility, abuse, bullying -- there's broad agreement that bad behavior is on the rise, and not just among today's youth. Consider the Virginia middle school principal who abruptly left her post in March and sent a letter to the community accusing the superintendent of creating "an untenable and hostile work environment." Or the newly elected school board member in Ohio who apparently said at a May teacher appreciation luncheon that layoffs were imminent unless the teachers agreed to a pay freeze.
Now consider the Wisconsin fifth-grade teacher who was dismissed in 2010 for a history of toxic behavior that included firing off nearly 4,000 e-mails in a year's time -- on a school computer -- that called co-workers, students, and parents "nut jobs," "cuckoo woman," and "Nazi aides." Or the Pennsylvania teacher who used derogatory terms about her students on her personal blog, but so far has managed to keep her job (see sidebar, page 19).
These incidents, while isolated, point to a variety of factors in the workplace that are caused by increased stress and tension in our school districts. But while national attention and energy has rightfully focused on the phenomenon of peer-to-peer bullying, what's missing is a hard, broader look at the relationships and interaction among adults in the school community.
Anecdotally, at least, bullying in the workplace is on the rise, and given the number of people who work in your districts, that means it could be occurring in your schools -- between teachers and students, administrators and teachers, or in some other form involving adults.
"The less respect teachers get, the less space they have to breathe, the more demands you put on them, the more likely it is someone who might otherwise do OK will slide into negative behaviors," says Stan Davis, a retired school counselor and founder of the online clearinghouse StopBullyingNow.com. "There's a lot of pressure to achieve and to blame."

Please send positive thoughts our way for my little man Jackson. He has a couple of herniated disks and is likely to have to go in for surgery. The neurologist recommended it but she's going to do an MRI to make extra sure he needs it first. If he does he'll be having it done today. He has a heart murmur so we're always concerned when he has to be put under for anything, but the doctor says this is his best option for a full recovery. If we wait it out and see he could permanently lose the use of his hind legs.
The surgery is expensive...about $5500-$8500. The good news is we were able to get our pet emergency card limit raised to cover the cost, but...well...it's still a lot of money.
Not a lot of good news today unfortunately (got a cold...just found out my main band is breaking up because our singer/bassist is giving up on music) but this is definitely the worst. Please keep Jackson in your thoughts today.

Brattleboro Selectboard puts off budget decision
BRATTLEBORO -- The Selectboard got a step closer toward finalizing the fiscal year 2014 budget at Tuesday night's board meeting, but stopped short of putting the final touches on the spending plan.
The board has already worked through hours of previous budget meetings, and the capital plan and general fund budgets are mostly finalized.
The board members have been struggling to figure out how to pay for the projected expenses and at the meeting Tuesday they continued discussions about using some of the capital plan surplus, or the general fund unassigned balance, to pay for the 2014 expenses.
After debating the various options, the board decided to schedule one more budget meeting on Jan. 10 to finalize the budget in time for March's Representative Town Meeting.
The town has about $1.6 million in unassigned funds available in its general fund, and another $879,000 in the capital budget, which is available due to former projects that came in under budget after the town had already borrowed the money.
The board is trying to finalize its $15.7 million general fund budget and capital plan, without raising the tax rate too much.
The board will likely use some of the general fund balance and capital plan surplus to plug that gap.
Sondag said the town has done a good job controlling its expenditures and also collecting taxes, and the budget surplus has accumulated over the previous seven years.
Selectboard member David Gartenstein cautioned his fellow board members on making a decision based on how the money was raised.
"It's all taxpayer money," he said.
Town Meeting Representatives would have to approve moving any money out of the capital plan.
And board member Chris Chapman said the lessons learned during Tropical Storm Irene taught the town how important it was to have cash on hand.
Chapman said the town was able to weather the infrastructure damage because it had cash on hand and he wanted to make sure the fund balance remained strong.
The Vermont League of Cities and Towns recommends that municipalities have about a 10 percent surplus of their general fund budget available.

Hello everyone. Being the "computer guy" my friend charged me with finding him a laptop to do his graphic designing on. (ie photoshop, lightroom) After some research I've found that perhaps the most important thing to have in a photoshop computer is good hard drive performance. (given that the rest of the system isn't total garbage of course) It seems as though a SSD boot drive, a small SSD "scratch disk" and a mechanical hard drive for storing files is the optimal route. Obviously a 3 drive setup too much to ask from a laptop so I'm thinking that I can probably get away with an mSATA SSD and a mechanical hard drive. Possibly even put two partitions on the SSD to accompany the photoshop scratch disk. (do i really need to do that?)
Here's my question: What laptops have mSATA capability in the 14 - 15.6" screen size range. I just need general models, I can take care of the hardware configuration as long as I know where to start. Once you've identified an mSATA capable laptop, feel free to comment on its pros and cons, both general and for graphic design tasks. In particular, I haven't found anything for ASUS, Acer, or Samsung yet.
I've already found that the HP Envy 14 and the Lenovo Y570 have mSATA capabilities. Any comments on either of those?
Also, macs are out of the question. Thats what he originally wanted but realized that he didnt have the funds to be paying twice as much when the only feasible difference was the OS, so PC's only please. His budget is $1000, preferably less.
I appreciate everyones help.

Now Hollywood Reporter reports that a German reality show is offering a role in one of the Twilight sequels as a prize for its contestants:
COLOGNE, Germany (Hollywood Reporter) - The words "casting couch" spring to mind when you hear the concept of a new German reality show: 12 young actresses compete for a role in a Hollywood production.
But "Mission Hollywood" is no joke. The show, which premieres June 8 in primetime on leading German network RTL, features Til Schweiger, Germany's biggest star, and the prize -- a role in one of the "Twilight" sequels -- is enough to entice even the most skeptical would-be thespian.

The IAAF says it has banned the only Russian in Olympic track and field from competition and that she is appealing the ruling.
IAAF spokesman Yannis Nikolaou tells The Associated Press that the governing body revoked eligibility for long jumper Darya Klishina based on new information it received last week. Nikolaou would not specify what the new information is.
Klishina, a former European indoor champion, was previously the only one of 68 Russians allowed to compete in the sport amid a massive doping scandal. The IAAF had accepted her application because she is based in the United States. The rest of the Russian team was banned over allegations of a widespread, state-sponsored doping program.
Nikolaou says Klishina has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and a decision is expected either Sunday or Monday, before the long jump competition begins Tuesday.

SARASOTA — Senior Marco Rometo's final race at The-Out-of-Door Academy didn't quite go as planned.
As one of the favorites heading into the Class 1A state finals May 1, the boys 1,600-meter relay team had high aspirations, but an unexpected miscue cost the team a medal.
But the state meet wasn't a complete loss for Rometo, who earned two medals, including third place in the 800-meter dash with a personal best time of 1:59.30 and eighth place in the 3,200-meter relay with a time of 8:29.92.
"I was happy with how I did, but it was a little bittersweet," Rometo said. "I ran my fastest time in all of my events, but with the 4x400 being my last high school race … it just didn't turn out the way I expected."
Rometo's performance not only earned him two medals, but also it caught the attention of coaches at the University of South Carolina. On May 5, Rometo was asked to join the Gamecocks track team.
"It was exciting because I didn't think I had a shot at running for that big of a school — at least not initially," Rometo said. "He told me I was going to have to over-commit to do well there, but I'm up to the challenge."
After spending his first two years playing tennis, Rometo decided to join the Thunder track team last year. He split his time between track and tennis before deciding to forego tennis this season.
"I figured it wasn't fair to either sport if I decided to do both," Rometo said. "I learned last year that you end up struggling in both rather than succeeding in one."
