CNET First Look
iPad Mini with Retina display: Apple's little tablet gets a big boostThe Mini finally gets a higher resolution display, but that's not all: it's got the same faster A7 processor as the iPhone 5s and iPad Air, too. It's a perfect small tablet, but it's also more expensive than last year's Mini. We take a closer look.
Hi. I'm Scott Stein and this year is the iPad Mini with Retina display. You know, it was a year ago that we looked at the iPad Mini and we said, "Well, here's a small, really light iPad. What's it missing? Retina." Well, in 2013, you get the Retina and it's finally available on sale now, but there are two things. First of all, it's expensive; $399 is the starting price, so it's more expensive than last year's iPad Mini, but also it's got a lot more under the hood. It's got an A7 processor. It's got a Retina display, that's the same resolution as the iPad Air that was just released. And it's got all the other bells and whistles as the larger iPads. So, really, it's a shrunken down larger iPad that you're saving 100 bucks on. It doesn't sound like a bad deal if you're looking for a top-of-the-line tablet, but it's expensive if you're looking for a really small tablet. If you hold it in your hands, it doesn't feel any different than last year's Mini. It's a little bit heavier, 0.73 pounds, and the display, again, the resolution, is 2048x1536. That is a very high resolution, 326 pixels per inch. So, it's a higher PPI than the iPad Air and that bests just about everything out else that's out there. Compared to get something like the more affordable tablet market, however, you can see there are a lot of tablets with super high-resolution displays. Kindle has got high-resolution Fire tablets now. You got the Nexus 7 which has a 1080p display in a 7-inch tablet. Held side by side, this still has a higher pixel resolution, but you can see that there's a lot of stuff out there competing. What this has got under the hood, though, that A7 processor and an M7 processor for tracking and it's also got better LTE and Wi-Fi in here for faster throughput and better range and you can only-- if you do opt up for the LTE version, no, that this will work across the world and across carriers, you can SIM swap to your heart's content, so you don't have to pick one particular carrier to stick with which is nice. So, all of that adds up to a lot of things that the competition doesn't have. No, there's no Touch ID. What do you use this for? Well, definitely, for better reading, for videos, for games. And the good news about the Mini is that for all the apps that we've thrown at it, that I've thrown at it, you can see that they all work really well in this size. They don't feel cramped. And so that's why having that bumped up, compared to last year, is helpful. I mean, if you had the iPad Mini that had an A5 processor, this goes up to the A7, so it's kind of like a two-year leap in terms of performance upgrade compared to your year-over-year on iPads. Does that mean you should upgrade? Well, you know, some people may still prefer the iPad Mini 'cause it's $100 less expensive and the screen, for a lot of people, might look perfectly fine. If you pay for the LTE, you're paying an extra $130 more, so it starts at $529. Then, you start bumping up to something like 128 gigabytes which is the top-end configuration and you're looking and saying that's pushing $800. No, I'm not generally one for taking pictures on my iPad, but the front-facing FaceTime HD camera in the new iPad Mini has better light sensitivity and makes you look generally snazzier. The only other thing that's different in the box is that there's now a 10-watt charger as opposed to the 5, so the brick is a little bit larger and that's it. If you want to get Retina in an iPad Mini, this is the time. You do have to spend a little more money. The funny thing is, though, the iPad Air is pretty close in weight, 0.73 to 1 pound, and has the same specs and a larger screen which some people may like for watching movies. Do you pay $100 more for that? Do you save $100 and get this? I'm Scott Stein and that is a look at the new iPad Mini with Retina display, available, once again, in black or space gray, we should call it, or white silver.

Quick Reference
Digital versatile disk: a disk format similar to a compact disk (see CD-ROM) but containing much more data. It was introduced in 1996. DVD disks are the same 120 mm diameter as CDs with potential capacities of up to 4.7 gigabytes for a single-sided single-layer disk. The technology involved in DVD storage is similar to that in compact disks, but more precise. The extra capacity is achieved in a number of ways. The tracks on a DVD are closer together and the pits are smaller, allowing more pits per unit area. The key to this is the use of a shorter wavelength laser (typically 635 or 650 nm in the red region for DVDs as opposed to 780 nm in the infrared for CDs). Moreover, a DVD can have two layers on the same side of the disk. The top layer is translucent and the bottom layer opaque. Data can be read from either layer by refocusing the laser. In addition DVDs may be double-sided. DVD formats also have a more efficient error-correction system. The potential capacity of a double-sided double-layer DVD is up to 17 gigabytes. DVDs have been increasingly used in computing as a higher-capacity version of compact disks. As with compact disks, there are various types. DVD-ROM (DVD read-only memory) is similar to CD-ROM. DVD-R (DVD-recordable) is similar to CD-R. There are also different rewritable formats: DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, and DVD-RW.

So, since its the new year I decided to start partaking in Top 10 Tuesday which is created by Brooke over on The Brooke and the Bookish, I've seen it around on loads of blogs and they are some of my favourite posts to read so I thought this year I would join in!!
Below are 10 new to me authors that I read & loved last year! 🙂
1) Sabba Tahir
I read the first two books in the ember in the ashes series (and have pre-orded the third), I absolutely loved the first book in the series, the second book not so much but I'm holding hope for the third one to be as good as the first! 🙂
2) Victoria Schwab
I'm sort of embraced to admit this one, I was quite late getting onto the Schwab band-waggon but I haven't been disappointed with a single book I have read by the queen yet, I've read the monsters of verity series and the gathering of shadows series and they are of course in my top 2017 reads! I hope to pick up vicious this year 🙂
3) Kasie West
This woman has fast become an auto-buy author for me, I read 4 books of hers this year, I think my favourite is either By Your Side orrrrrrr On The Fence, I highly recommend any book by Kasie West if you're a fan of fluffy ya contemporary as I haven't been disappointed by her yet!! 😍😍
4) Becky Albertalli
I read two books by Becky this month and Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda has made it into my top 5 books of 2017, I've currently leant it to one of my best friends as I'm determined she will love it as much as me, I can't wait for Love, Simon to come out in the cinema and I've already pre ordered Leah on the Offbeat 💖💖
5) Sally Thorne
The Hating Game made it to the top spot of my favourite book of 2017, this book blew my mind and I loved it, I have a review somewhere on Goodreads but it's mostly me babbling about how amazing Josh is and how lovely Lucy is, this book just made me so happy and I'm so excited for when Sally's other book comes out later this year.
6) Marie Lu
I know!!! I KNOW!!! I'm so behind on reading amazing author's work, I read Wacross which is absolutely loved and I read the young elites which sadly I didn't enjoy as much as I thought I would, I do have the other two books in the series sitting on my shelf to read and I have Batman:Nightwalker pre-orded which I am super excited for as I really enjoyed Wonder Woman! 🙂
7) Rainbow Rowell
But seriously, I love Rainbow Rowell's writing and the characters she created are just amazing and I am so ready to read Carry On (time to bump it up on the tbr soon I'm sure!!!).
8) Alwyn Hamilton
Rebel of the Sands was another book that made it into my top 5, I friggin loved this book. I'm so ready for book two which came in the post a few weeks ago, as for the third book (hero at the fall???) I am so tempted to preorder so I can read book 2 & 3 together so I don't have to wait 🤣🤣
9) Mackenzie Lee
The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue was the last book I read in 2017 and was amazing, it was so funny and I loved Percy, Monty and Felicity and I'm crazily excited for the second book in the series, especially as it's going to be from Felicity's point of view which is my favourite character, girl power!!! 👯👯
10) Kerri Maniscalco
Thank you for giving me another book boyfriend to add to my already stupidly long list! I loved this book so much, it was amazing and full of all the good things such as murder, handsome men and feminism!! I got Hunting Prince Dracula for Christmas and I can't wait to finally getting around to reading it. 😁😁
***I just want to say it's so weird that we are in 2018 I can't wait for it, I've already turned about 5 7's into 8's while at work as I keep writing 2017***
I'd love to see in the comments what new authors you've read last year! 🙂
I have read so many new authors but the above are for sure some of my favourite ones that I've found this year!!!

The purchase or sale of a practice may rank as one of the most difficult decisions someone will endure and face. But does it have to be difficult, stressful and emotional? The answer may lie in the preparation of the inevitable event or lack thereof, and the ensuing journey down a smooth road or one paved with potholes.
Once a decision is made to sell or buy a practice, realistic valuations will help determine a fair price.
The sale or purchase of a practice allows a practitioner to plan, organize and achieve finality and profitability. Individuals have a greater chance of becoming disabled versus dying. Practitioners know this, yet many of us fail to plan an exit strategy from practice.
Meet Dr. Retirement
Dr. Retirement has been in practice more than 30 years. Dr. Retirement is the trusted source for patients and answers questions relating to many health concerns. Dr. Retirement has planned and implemented necessary action steps including caring for his own health concerns, financial planning, short- and long-term goals, caring for the family, etc.
Dr. Retirement knows the day of exiting practice is soon approaching. Procedures to ensure a smooth and profitable transition have been discussed with competent and trusted professionals. The decision to bring an associate into the practice with the intent of working alongside Dr. Retirement proves to be a good decision. All legal matters were clearly defined and both individuals agreed to the terms of the contract.
After a period of time, the Dr. Associate became a partial owner of the practice and eventually the owner. Dr. Retirement was able to leave practice, receive fair compensation and know the practice, patients and staff will be well cared for.
In working with Dr. Retirement, Dr. Associate was able to gain a tremendous amount of business and clinical knowledge. The transition allowed Dr. Associate to obtain a practice that affords the ability to pay Dr. Retirement and cover office and personal expenses, as well as plan long-term financial goals. They both win, as did patients, staff and business associates.
Meet Dr. Disabled
As practitioners, we know the chances of developing a disability due to sickness or an accident are potentially greater than dying. "At no age is the risk of death greater than the risk of becoming disabled." Remarkably, a large cross-section of our populace is under the misconception their likelihood of succumbing to a long-term disability is remote.
As a matter of fact, "Should you suffer a long term disability that lasts 90 days or more, odds are that you will be disabled for more than 3 years." Despite knowing these facts, many practitioners fail to plan for the possibility of a disabling event. If the likelihood of becoming unable to practice becomes a reality, the difficulty of selling a practice becomes all too real.
The lack of any preparation may well translate into a loss of opportunity for the seller and a buying opportunity for the buyer.
Each practice should be analyzed on its own merit for value, profitability, opportunity and continued growth potential. One of the worst scenarios is the death of a practitioner and the family left scrambling to find a suitable buyer. The longer it takes, the greater the value loss to the family.
Planning in either scenario is necessary and can be instituted by the practitioners while still in practice. Consultation with accounting, legal and financial professionals for assistance and guidance is proactive and strongly recommended.
The Process Begins
The decision to sell may include retirement, disability (accident or illness), leaving the practice for personal reasons, death or to pursue other opportunities.
Conversely, the decision to buy may include: a new practitioner wants to avoid the trials and tribulations of beginning a practice from scratch and desires a turnkey operation; an established provider wants to expand practice or open a satellite office; a third-party corporate entity asks the seller to leave or becomes employee/manager of the facility; or perhaps a medical physician wishes to offer similar professional services within their practice with an immediate patient base and indirect benefit to their medical practice with new patients/conditions.
Getting the Word Out
Either party can place "Buy" or "Sell" ads through state and national professional associations, professional college websites, word of mouth, etc. Buyers can mail letters of inquiry to established providers in desired practice areas of their interest and ask if they are contemplating retiring in the near future or willing to offer a buy-in with transition period.
A buyer or seller may enlist (hire) a broker or agent. Working with professionals who are intimately aware and possess experience in the purchase/sale of practices is a smart decision. They may render total or specific predetermined services, and the client should request a non- exclusive agreement that allows for self-purchase or sale of a practice.
Meet & Greet
The prospective buyer must sign both confidentiality and HIPAA business associate agreements. Importantly, effective September 2013, the HIPAA agreement requires expanded responsibilities for signer aligning with facility owner. Discussion and facility inspection should include viewing of equipment noting age, type, condition and whether owned or leased.
Does the office appear dated or updated, clean vs. messy, organized vs. disorganized? Are patient files maintained by computer or manual records? Are procedures and philosophy of patient care similar or dissimilar? What are patient percentages by type (concentrated or diversified)? What are the sources of new patients via insurance plans, referrals, advertising, family plans, cash plan? (Know your state law.) Significantly, does the buyer participate in the same managed care plans and/ or must they apply for acceptance and inclusion?

Snail known as "Escargot" is cooked in delightful butter. "Steak tartare" is another uniquely French food. This dish is a finally chopped off beef, seasoned and marinated and served very rare. It is also cooked in alcohol and when enjoyed with a glass of red wine is a memorable experience.
A famous signature French dish is "Croque Monsieur" or "Croque Madame". This is a sandwich much like a grilled cheese, but with a twist. Ham is placed in, providing a surprise for expecting a normal grilled cheese.

Good evaluation practice is about knowing the value of what you do. It should be a key part of any project or service your organisation delivers. It will help you to:
- See what works best for the people you seek to help and identify any areas for improvement
- Understand and celebrate the impact you are making
- Demonstrate your impact internally and to others in the sector and funders
Ultimately this will help you to deliver better outcomes for your beneficiaries.
The Evaluation Cycle
- Set outcomes and indicators – what are the differences that you want to make (outcomes) and how will you measure whether these have happened (indicators)?
- Gather evidence –gather data which is appropriate and proportionate to your project or organisation
- Analyse and report – make sense of your data and present it in a meaningful way for your audience(s)
- Learn from and act on your findings – use findings to shape current or future service delivery
Our top tips for evaluation
- Make sure any evidence you gather is useful (and used!) - There's no point in spending time collecting data which is just going to sit on a shelf getting dusty. Set yourself some clear questions at the start and find ways of gathering evidence that will help you to answer them.
- Make sure your evaluation plan is proportionate –Evaluation doesn't need to be expensive or time-consuming. The amount you gather should be proportionate to the size of your project/service or organisation.
- Speak to other individuals or organisations – speaking to others about some of the successes or challenges they have faced may help you to develop an appropriate plan for your own work.
- Be flexible – including regular review points into your evaluation plan. This will help you to check whether the evidence you are collecting is useful and is helping you to answer the questions you've set yourself. You can also use these points to adapt your project/service if the evidence is highlighting something that should be changed.
Inspiring Impact also has a useful 'Code of Good Impact Practice' which you can download here
Useful Resources
Evaluation Support Scotland works with third sector organisations so that they can measure and report on their impact. Its website contains a number of free evaluation tools and it also runs various events and workshops to help organisations better understand and evidence their impact.
Inspiring Impact is a UK-wide programme which helps third sector organisations to understand what to measure and how to measure it. Its website has a number of free resources to help you evaluate your work and it also has a self-assessment tool so that you can see which areas of embedding impact measurement your organisation could improve on.

Recovery dollars will fund solar projects in Minneapolis Saint Paul
Both Minneapolis and Saint Paul will receive federal Recovery funding designed to help increase the use of solar energy. Downtown Saint Paul will become a demonstration for how diversified energy sources can power large-scale buildings, complexes and district systems. District Energy St. Paul will install solar thermal or hybrid solar thermal/photovoltaic systems using the $1 million grant administered through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its own matching funds.
The project with District Energy is one of 40 projects that were selected nationwide to help speed adoption of solar energy while supporting development of a skilled workforce and continuing to pursue new scientific breakthroughs to increase the efficiency and lower the cost of solar technologies.
In addition to the $1million grant, the Department of Energy also awarded an additional $30,000 to NRG Thermal to conduct a feasibility study on integrating solar into its Minneapolis system.
District Energy St. Paul, a 501(c)(3) non-profit utility, heats and cools more than 80 percent of the buildings in downtown Saint Paul as well as 300 single-family homes. NRG Thermal LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of NRG Energy Inc. which has global portfolio of projects including wind and solar generation and which provides district and cooling services to over 100 buildings in downtown Minneapolis.
In 2008, Saint Paul and Minneapolis were named Solar America Cities by the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a strategic plan to make solar energy more accessible for homes and businesses by the year 2015. The two cities are partnering with local organizations and businesses including District Energy, NRG Thermal LLC, Xcel Energy, Center for Energy and Environment, freEner-g, Fresh Energy, Green Institute, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Minnesota Department of Commerce, Minnesota Renewable Energy Society and Neighborhood Energy Connection to develop mainstream solar in the coming decade and implement dozens of projects during the next two years.

You could try using something like Revo Uninstaller, which is a super uninstaller and see if that works. You can get it here.

Office 2010 Uninstall
As far as uninstalling 2010 Beta, it is the program from Hell. I was in the same boat when I went to install the RTM. I'll tell you what I used and it finally worked.
There will be more than one step to this. First you need a couple of files.
1. Ripoutoffice2007.zip (can be found by doing a search on the web)
2. Ms Install cleaner, msicuu2.exe. (can be found by doing a search on the web)
There is another one that you can use if you like. It is named clean2cr.zip also available via the web.
First I ran the uninstall from Win7 it failed just as you mentioned. I then used ripoutoffice2007 it worked on the 2010 Beta. Then I ran the MS Install cleaner. Ir got some more of it.
Wait, you are not done. I went through my directory tree and removed some stray files. Wait, you are not done. In Win7 there is more than one directory with Office entries. So you will have to check everywhere.
Now the final thing I done was regedit and search for Office. Found several entries. Two of which would not delete. But evidently they did not impede the 2010 Install.
If all else fails you can try this mish-mash. Good Luck

you still have some "old bits" of beta installed. It took me several hours to clean out every remnant. Sort of seek and destroy. Once you get everything cleaned out it will install

If it's going to take more than an hour or two to fix, and everything I've read about getting rid of the beta version suggests it is, reinstalling windows and all your programs would probably be much faster and less frustrating

Project Description
The MediaWall is a Cruiser extension that enables content exploration on large public information displays via natural hand gesture interactions. This research project tackles the following important issues:
- Attracting passers-by to a public information display, and alerting them of its interactive capabilities.
- Quickly training new users on available hand gestures to interact with the display.
- Encouraging users to explore and engage with the content of the display.
One instance of the MediaWall is currently deployed outside the School of Information Technologies building, opposite the Seymour Center theatre. This setting enables us to quickly test, iterate and improve the system in a live environment with a diverse group of participants. The system currently runs nightly from 7pm to midnight.
A second instance of the same technology, LNIPS (Learning Network Information Point System), has been deployed in student computer labs across the campus. Here, students are able to interact with the displays via hand gestures to navigate through important announcements, find available computer terminals in their current location, and get navigation instructions to different computer labs across the campus.
Below is a short video that provides a brief overview of these two MediaWall instances.

Showcasing films from 1900 to 2002, the Texas Film Sampler offers a curated overview designed to illustrate the eclectic nature of TAMI's collection content. These materials underscore TAMI's goal in championing the value of regional voices in constructing Texas history. Additionally, this selection illustrates the serious need for greater attention to the care and management of this rare material. Many of the clips seen here are in extremely poor condition.
Galveston Hurricane Aftermath (1900)
Shot in September, 1900, this film material represents some of the oldest motion pictures in the world. One of the Library of Congress' unique "paper prints," this film illustrates the significant damage wrought by the hurricane that struck Galveston on September 8, 1900, killing over 6,000 people and decimating the city.
Laredo/Nuevo Laredo: Halting Foreign Plant Foes (1922)
Illustrating the longstanding concern over the entry of "foreign agricultural pests" into the United States, this film features excellent shots of early automobiles crossing the border from Nuevo Laredo into Laredo, Texas. Mexican citizens are searched coming into the country and various plants are examined for potential hazards. Cotton from Mexico is seen being inspected in Nuevo Laredo and fumigated in Laredo – a fascinating look at the border inspection process of this era.
El Paso: Bonus Army Ranks Swell (1932)
This news story reports on the growing numbers of World War One veterans journeying to Washington, D.C. from all over the country in the spring of 1932. With the onset of the Depression in the late 1920s, the veterans had decided to camp in the nation's capitol to demand early payment of promised bonuses for service overseas. This footage features veterans marching, "hopping boxcars," and even riding in "El Paso Bonus Army" airplanes to head to Washington. In July, 1932, D.C. police and Army troops destroyed the shanty town built by the veterans in Anacostia (an area across the Potomac River from the capitol grounds), further exacerbating tensions during this era.
Dallas: Small Boy Runs Dog Circus (1935)
Very little information exists about this film, but we know that you will enjoy it. TAMI staff would be very interested to hear from you if you might recognize anyone in the film – or, indeed, know about the dog circus phenomenon of the period!
Talco Oil Boom (1936)
This short film depicts the population explosion in largely rural Talco, TX, after the discovery of oil in February, 1936. People from all over the country came to Talco looking for oil as well as for jobs on the rigs or in the accompanying businesses opening up around town. The realization that the oil located in the area was better used for the production of asphalt slowed the numbers of new residents, but the story of Talco's experience during this time well illustrates the boom and bust world of Texas wildcatting. In the late 1930s, the census indicated that Talco's population had reached more than 2,000 – but by early 1940, only 912 citizens claimed to be residents of the community.
La Villita, San Antonio, TX (ca. 1937 - 1942)
Unedited footage documenting the restoration of the historic settlement in San Antonio, La Villita, was produced by the federal government. Originally a Coahuiltecan Indian village, La Villita served as both home and business location for generations of diverse settlers – from Spanish soldiers and Tejano rebels to German, Polish, and French immigrants. During the 1930s, La Villita had become a relatively abandoned part of the city catering to many of those suffering most from the Depression. San Antonio Mayor Maury Maverick received funding from the National Youth Administration to restore this area – and proudly proclaimed:
OLD VILLITA [IS] NO LONGER CONCEALED BY THIS SLUM OF SLUMS WHERE IN CROWDED SQUALOR EXISTED CATS, RATS, VERMIN, SICK DOGS, 119 RESIDENT HUMANS AND AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF MIGRANTS… RESTORATION HAS STARTED. WITH IT MODERN POWDER ROOMS, SANITATION AND PLUMBING, HEALTH AND CONVENIENCE COMBINED WITH AUTHENTIC RE-CREATION OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS [sic.] (From "The Restoration of La Villita." San Antonio: University of Texas Press, 1939.)
Citrus Festival, Mission TX (ca. 1940)
Mission, TX's annual festival showcaes the citrus industry of the Rio Grande Valley. Begun in 1932, it features parades, contests, and even fashions designed from locally grown fruit. Universal Newsreels, including this short film, frequently covered the unique Texas festival throughout the pre-WWII period:
From Universal Studios:
"BEAUTIES SLIP ON CITRUS PEELS Mission, TX: A bevy of gorgeous Texas 'eyefuls,' all dressed up in orange or grape-fruit skins, lend color and pep to the annual Citrus Fiesta. They top off the fete with a swimming party in a sea of grapefruit."
Big Bend National Park (1940s)
Not much is known about this film. Archivists believe that it was shot by the National Park Service to illustrate the variety of topography, vegetation, and activities available in the Big Bend area – from the Rio Grande River and arid mountains, to the vibrant colors of the desert cacti in bloom.
Report From Texas (1942-46)
This film is a documentary explaining Texas (and Texans!) to those serving in the armed services during wartime. On the fields of battle as well as at home, Texans are depicted as serving their country. Women are seen working in the construction of naval ships, and the state is praised for increasing its production of magnesium, sulphur, and agricultural products including wool. Perhaps most poignantly, the film features how families and loved ones grapple with the absence of soldiers serving overseas.
Alien Enemy Detention Facility: Crystal City (ca. 1943-45)
During World War II, the Department of Justice, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) ran a number of internment camps scattered across the country. The Crystal City camp, like others located in Texas, primarily housed Japanese and Germans from Latin America who had been deported to prevent espionage in the region.
According to federal reports, the Crystal City internment camp housed close to 4,000 people primarily of Japanese and German ancestry. Produced by the INS, this film claims to show how the government organized and created an internment process that was comfortable, if not downright beneficial, to its detainees.
Battle of Flowers Parade, San Antonio (1948)
This film provides a personal view of one of San Antonio's most familiar traditions: The Battle of Flowers Parade. Since 1891, festivities have commemorated the Battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto.
Shot by the Raymond Winter family in 1948, this home movie showcases the value of amateur motion picture footage in documenting the Texas experience. The Winter collection has a number of films featuring the parade throughout the 1940s and 1950s which detail the changing cityscape and the ever evolving commemoration of the Alamo. Click Here for a good overview and history of the event.
San Marcos: Our Home Town (ca. 1949)
Independent and entrepreneurial filmmakers have always been an important component of the larger American motion picture heritage. Unfortunately, many of these films remain unknown and undiscovered due to their "independent" status – outside of corporate or state archival collections and often in private homes or abandoned warehouses. This film serves as an excellent example of this type of filmmaking. Texas documentary filmmaker Shadrack (Shad) Graham, a former Hollywood director, produced films about daily life in small towns across the United States throughout the Depression. After filming an award winning documentary about the Texas City explosion in 1947, Graham relocated to Missouri City, TX, and focused on his "Our Home Town" series – films encouraging commerce and civic activity in largely rural communities. Many of the films produced by his company, Texas News Trailers, from this period are missing. This clip from one of the few Graham films still existent, Our Home Town: San Marcos, illustrates Graham's work as well as serves as an important artifact for city and state history.
Knife Throwing Family (ca. 1950s)
This short film features Louella Gallagher throwing knives at her two small daughters, Connie Ann and Colleena Sue. Not much is known about this film, but it represents well the tone of most national newsreel stories about Texas – a little nonsense, a little awe, and more than a little disbelief!
San Antonio: Japanese War Brides (1954)
Between the years of 1947 and 1964, over 46,000 war brides emigrated to the United States from Japan. No Japanese brides could have arrived before this period as the Johnson-Reed Act of 1924 banned all Japanese immigration to the U.S. Congress passed the 1946 G.I. Fiancees Act that allowed servicemen to bring Japanese wives back to their home country – but this was an important exception to the larger ban on other Japanese immigration which remained in place until 1952. This film serves as a fascinating artifact from this period. Shot by the U.S. Army, the footage features three separate Japanese war brides speaking directly to the camera about their experience in their new country. Shot at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, the film clearly was intended to be sent back to Japan. This clip features a young woman from a rural Japanese area speaking in both standard Japanese as well as English.
Tomboy and the Champ Premiere, From Katy to Houston (1961)
"She's the pig-tailed pride of the Texas plains!" claimed Universal Studios when this film premiered in Houston in 1961. An intriguing piece of Hollywood history, the Tomboy and the Champ was produced in honor of 4-H clubs across the country and exemplifies what some critics describe as the popular "country musical" genre from this period.
Shot in Katy, Houston, and Chicago, the film's producers dedicated it to "the heart of America." This short clip showcases how Universal Studios bused citizens of Katy to Houston to attend the film's premiere in Houston. Although the newsreel serves as a fun look at when "Hollywood came to Texas," perhaps more interesting now is the way the film depicts the rural topography between Katy and Houston of the early 1960s – a remarkable comparison to the area's current urban environment.
LBJ Barbeque in Texas (date unknown)
Quasi-home movie material shot at an undated barbeque held, presumably, in honor of Vice-President Hubert Humphrey who appears at the very end of this footage. These vibrant and colorful images offer insight into a classic Texan barbeque – including eating techniques, cooking guidance, and definitely fashion and style tips!
Project Safeguard (ca. 1964)
This unique educational and training film dramatizes the challenges (and benefits) that the cancellation of DDT brought to the Rio Grande Valley area in the early to mid-1970s. In fact, "Project Safeguard" was a larger project initiated by the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to educate the public on the replacement of DDT with organophosphates. Placed within a quasi-narrative format as news reporters discover the world of "pesticides" on the border, this footage of Harlingen and the surrounding areas presents a great example of the educational film format of the era as well as offers unique images of the community at this time.
Wichita Falls Tornado Footage (1979)
On April 12, 1979, a tornado struck Wichita Falls. This film, shot by the Army, features Texas National Guardsmen sifting through the destruction. Aerial photography illustrates the incredible destruction wrought by the storm that killed 42 people and injured over 1700. The tornado, three funnels fused into one, remained touching the earth for an hour with winds from 207-260 mph (an F4 rating) and destroyed over one fifth of the city. Cars were lifted away, sides of apartment buildings were ripped off, and the city was forced to establish a curfew. The storm served as one of the deadliest and most destructive tornados in state and U.S. history.
Nuclear Family (1984/2003)
In the 1990s, filmmaker Don Howard learned that noted Houston based photographer Geoff Winningham had shot motion picture film of football in Midland and Odessa in 1984. The footage was to be featured in a documentary version of Winningham's book about Texas football in the 1970s, The Rites of Fall, but was never completed. Inspired by Winningham's footage, Howard worked with the material, combining it with newly shot video, to create his own innovative documentary, Nuclear Family, that was released in 2003. For Howard, Winningham's material "captured the reality of high school football in a way that Hollywood never has or will."
Spit Farther! (2001)
This footage showcases the annual Luling, TX watermelon festival from a ten minute documentary short entitled "Spit Farther!" Located thirty miles southeast of Austin, Luling has held its annual "thump" in early June for over fifty years. The weekend event features a parade headlined by the "Watermelon Queen" and her court, contests for best locally grown watermelon, watermelon eating, and, as the main event, the "world" championship watermelon seed spitting contest. The footage seen here is from the very start of the adult division spitting competition – the world record of which is said to be over 69 feet. "Spit Farther!" was produced by University of Texas filmmaker Paul Stekler, who re-used some of this footage in his 2002 film "Last Man Standing: Politics, Texas Style," which focused on a race for state representative in a district that includes Luling.

ROSELLE – A two-mile stretch from First Avenue to Raritan Road in Roselle is slated to undergo a massive storm-water channel revitalization project in the coming months to relieve neighborhood flooding.
"Infrastructure improvement is one of the cornerstones of my administration," Mayor Jamel Holley said. "For far too long, our residents have been dealing with this flooding. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the NJDEP and Union County for assisting the brough with this very important project that residents have waited far too long for."
Holley added that this project would not be a reality without the legislative support of state Sen. Raymond Lesniak and Assemblyman Joseph Cryan.
The $8.67 million project is being funded in part by a $5 million grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection; the remaining cost will be split by Union County and the Borough of Roselle.
The project is geared to better control flooding within the Borough, especially during 100-year storm events, such as Tropical Storm Irene in August.
Councilwoman Christine Dansereau calls the project a breath of fresh air for the citizens in the Borough. "Flooding has been a real concern for our residents because every major storm had the potential to cause serious water damage," she said. "This project will alleviate those concerns."
Councilwoman Kim Shaw who represents the fourth ward, said that she has heard complaints from residents for years. "I'm glad that our administration is taking the necessary steps to eliminate this problem," she said. "This project signifies that the arrow is pointing up and that the Borough is putting citizens first."
In order to expand stormwater capacity within the West Brook, the stream will be widened and dredged. The streambed will be excavated to be four feet deeper in some areas; the banks will be widened up to 40 feet in areas, as well.
In addition, a flood control berm will be constructed, primarily at the Pine Street crossing area.
As part of the project, six road crossing bridges and one foot bridge will be replaced. The stream channel will be stabilized with rock-lined walls in areas. Elsewhere, the natural channel will be modified to better handle flooding, while native vegetation will be planted.
Carl O'Brien from Maser Consulting will be the engineer overseeing and inspecting the project which being performed by Montana Construction of Lodi. It is to be completed by November 2013.

AWESOME➙ NBA MVP Kevin Durant Tears Up As He Thanks His Mother: "Mom Is the Real MVP" (Video)
NBA MVP Kevin Durant thanked his mother "the real MVP" during his acceptance speech.
Canada Yahoo reported:
Wanda Pratt received an early Mother's Day present on Tuesday that was better than any flowers, candy or cards she will receive on Sunday.
The NBA awarded Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant with this season's Most Valuable Player award. In a lengthy, tearful and poignant ceremony, Durant thanked his family members, every single teammate from Russell Westbrook to little-known Grant Jerrett, the entire Thunder coaching staff and organization, Oklahoma City and The Oklahoman newspaper for calling him "Mr. Unreliable."
It was a heartfelt moment for Durant, none more so than when he referenced Pratt, his mother.
"We weren't supposed to be here," Durant said. "You made us believe. You kept us off the street. You put clothes on our backs. You put food on the table. When you didn't eat, you made sure we ate and [you] went to sleep hungry.
"You sacrificed for us. You're the real MVP."

1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the morsels for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until the mixture is just melted and smooth. Transfer to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and snip a small hole in one corner.
2. Pipe the mixture all over one long side of an 8- by 4-inch loaf pan set on your serving dish. Pipe onto 1 pretzel rod and press, coated side down, onto the bottom of the coated long side of the pan. Pipe more on top of the rod and stick another rod on top. Repeat to cover that side of the pan. Repeat on the other long side. Break the remaining pretzel rods in half and repeat to cover the short sides of the pan. Refrigerate until set.
3. Pipe a thick line on the top edges of the long sides of the pan. Press 1 graham cracker on each side so that they meet in the middle to form a peaked roof. Pipe a thick line where the crackers meet. Break the remaining graham cracker in half and repeat to complete the roof. Refrigerate until set.
4. Pipe all over the graham crackers. Gently press the cereal onto the "roof" to resemble snowy. shingles. Cut the salted crackers into door and window shapes. Pipe all over the flat sides and press into place. Pipe all over the serving dish around the house and gently press coconut all around to resemble fallen snow. Refrigerate until set. Pull apart to eat.

Cliffs of Neuse swimming will open this week
By Bonnie Edwards
Published in News on May 26, 2006 1:49 PM
The Cliffs of the Neuse swimming area will open Saturday, but there won't be any diving until there is more water, park officials said.
The water is still too shallow in the deep end for any diving, Park Ranger Dan Smith said.
He said he likes to have the depth at least 17 feet before he allows diving, and it's only 15 now.
News-Argus/Bobby Williams
Park Ranger Carla Edwards takes a look at the water levels at Cliffs of the Neuse state park.
The water is continuing to rise in the 11-acre man-made lake, and as soon as it's deep enough to dive and rent boats, Smith said he will make an announcement. The Cliffs park has row boats and some new paddle boats standing by for the official go-ahead.
"We'll open boat rentals when we feel it's safe to do so," Smith said.
Meanwhile, swimming will resume at the normal schedule for Memorial Day weekend, which is the traditional opening date. Hours will be from 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.
Swimming will continue through Labor Day.
Swimming is normally permitted only when lifeguards are on duty, but Smith said he has been having trouble finding certified lifeguards to watch the swimmers. He said state officials are thinking about letting him allow people to "swim at your own risk" until he gets some lifeguards on board.
"This is day-by-day," he said. "We are still looking for additional qualified lifeguards, but none have been approved yet. Several applicants are waiting on their certification."
He said the state parks officials are also thinking about letting him reduce the admission fee for swimming until the lake is fully operational. When diving and boating are back on the approved list, the fee would return to $4 per adult and $3 for children ages 3 through 12.

She is, loyal, responsive, up to date on market conditions, and goes above beyond the call of duty for a win/win experience. She is a great advisor during negotiations. She remains calm under stressful situations focusing on what is best for all parties involved. Sara gives 110% to ensure all deadlines and commitments are met. I was out of state when my house was put on the market. With Sara in charge, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation." -Andrea
"We were referred to Sara by friends of ours. Simply put, she made buying a home for the first time a great experience! Sara was patient and a great listener. She had excellent insight and observations about properties we visited. This was quite valuable to us as first-time buyers. Sara was responsive to emails/phone calls and flexible in her availability to show homes. Overall, we strongly recommend anyone reading this review consider Sara for your real estate needs. You won't be disappointed!" -Kevin
"As anyone buying in Denver this year knows, it is tricky! Sara is the reason we got our house. From start to finish she handled every detail with care and precision. Our first offer was accepted. We can't recommend Sara highly enough." -Laura
"Sara was great! She was so patient with us over the years(about 3) until we finally found the one that we knew we could call home. She was there for us every step of the way and made sure we got the house! We would highly recommend Sara for anyone needing a great realtor."
"Sara is the best! As a first time homebuyer, I was nervous to start the process & worried about feeling overwhelmed. Sara walked me through every step and patiently answered all of my questions. She acted as a sounding board, expert, and friend. When my offer was accepted, the listing agent made a special point to compliment Sara's professionalism and attention to detail. And I couldn't agree more. I know that I wouldn't have gotten my perfect home without her dedication to the search. With the crazy, competitive market everything counts… especially having the right realtor. I highly recommend Sara to anyone buying or selling. And I love my new house!" -Kaylin
"We worked with Sara on the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new home. Throughout the entire process, she was very knowledgeable, professional and very responsive to any and all questions we had during the process. She listened to our opinions on price and offered her own professional opinions without making us feel stupid, incompetent or pressured and we ended up very happy with both our sale and purchase. Sara went above and beyond to ensure that our home was properly staged, clean and ready for showings and she was very thorough in the inspection of our new home. I would highly recommend using Sara for your real estate needs!" -Emily

Dr Oz Carb Plan
Dr Oz spoke about what a Carb Addiction is, and then he gave us a 28 Day Plan to Kick Your Carb Habit For Good! Dr Mike Dow said that you cannot go "cold turkey" and just cut out all bad carbs, because you will feel so irritable and terrible that you will most likely fail. So Doctor Oz put together this four week Carb Addict Plan to help us slowly ween ourselves off of Unhealthy Carbohydrates.
Dr Oz: Curb Carb Cravings
The first week of Dr Oz's 28 Day Carb Addict Plan is all about adding foods that will curb your carb cravings. You do not have to eliminate any carbs at all from your diet this week. Dr Dow said that it is more about what you add into your diet at this point than what you take away. You want to start eating other foods that will boost Serotonin levels in your brain. For example, add whole grain pasta, brown rice, steel cut oatmeal and quinoa because these will help to keep you full for longer. Also, increase the amount of fruit that you eat because it has great fiber in its skin and it gives you a sustainable level of Serotonin.
Dr Oz: Overeaters Anonymous Meetings
The second week of Dr Oz's 28 Day Carb Addict Plan is to cut back to only 2 carb servings per day and to find a sponsor to help you. Two servings of carbs everyday is about two fistfuls of things like bread or pasta. Dr Mike Dow said that anyone in the country can find a free sponsor at a local Overeaters Anonymous Meeting, or of course you can find a spouse or friend who will support you and hold you accountable.
Dr Oz: Seratonin Boosters
The third week of Dr Oz's 28 Day Carb Addict Plan is to cut back to just one serving of carbs per day and to treat your carbohydrate triggers. If you only have one serving of Unhealthy Carbs per day, then you will probably need other things to help make you feel good, especially when triggers like stress hit. Find non-food related activities to boost your Serotonin levels like lighting a candle or taking a bubble bath. Loneliness is another big trigger, so send a text message or call your sponsor when you feel like you are about to go on a Carb Binge.
Dr Oz: Cut Out All Unhealthy Carbs
The final week of Dr Oz's 28 Day Carb Addict Plan is to replace the hormones triggered by carb with activities that produce hormones – or Hormone Boosting Activities. Oxytocin is a calming feel good chemical, so Dr Mike Dow said that you should have more cuddling. Or at least cuddle with a pet, because apparently that has a similar effect. Go outside and take a walk for 20 minutes to get Vitamin D from the sun. Dr Dow said that Serotonin and sleep go hand-in-hand, so you must get 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Lots of people have trouble with this, but it is crucial otherwise your body releases chemicals that make you hungry for the worst foods.

We understand there is very little extra time for any of us to spend physically volunteering at the present time so we have setup a FBR / MDAHU virtual food drive donation website (click on logo above). 96 cents of every dollar donated goes towards food & $1 = 4 meals! Please help support those who are less fortunate than us.
Please take time to congratulate Paul Berteau as Food Bank of the Rockies 2015 Betty Van Hook Award Winner. He has been helping FBR since October, 1997. Thanks for all your dedication, Paul.

Upcoming Events
The Colorado Association of Health Underwriters (CSAHU) is Colorado's largest professional association of brokers, agents and producers of health care insurance. We work hard to ensure all Americans have access to insurance professionals and advocate on behalf of our broker members and insured clients. Our mission has led us to join a coalition campaign to defeat Amendment 69 coined "ColoradoCare" by proponents.
Why we've joined the fight against Amendment 69:
*Amendment 69 is a $25 billion tax increase - essentially doubling the total state budget of Colorado - paid for by a new 6.67% employer payroll tax, 3.33% worker tax, and a 10% tax on non-payroll income.
*If Amendment 69 were to pass, Colorado would immediately have the highest taxes in the entire country.
*Amendment 69 hits business owners and sole proprietors disproportionally by having them pay both sides of the tax - 10% in new employment taxes PLUS an additional 10% tax on all non-payroll income.
*Amendment 69 is a Constitutional amendment designed to be incredibly difficult to amend and repeal which is a risky gamble for an experimental health care system.
*Colorado has made great strides in economic recovery since the downturn. Amendment 69's onerous payroll tax increases will stifle small businesses struggling to get by and dissuade larger corporations required to navigate a healthcare system which will be unique to only Colorado. ColoradoCare may force companies to choose not to locate in Colorado or may even move out of Colorado impacting jobs.
*Although this initiative would have the budget capacity of an entire state, the decisions related to its operations and policies would be subject to the discretion of a mere 21-person board with no accountability to the Governor or Legislature.
*Amendment 69 would be outside TABOR limitations allowing it to grow, unchecked especially if the original cost forecasts are under-estimated.
*There have been no guarantees regarding levels or scope of coverage under this initiative. The details would be decided by 21 trustees with no provisions related to provider or consumer input.

This is only a request. The golf course will contact you to confirm a tee time, rate, and other details.
Eynesbury Homestead & Golf
- 487 Eynesbury Road
- Eynesbury, Victoria 3338 Australia
All of the holes have been strategically designed to allow for the greatest variance of prevailing weather conditions and to accommodate the widest range of golfing abilities. The fairways are generous and inviting targets however positional play from the tees will always be handsomely rewarded by providing the best angle of attack to the greens.
In most instances the approaches to the greens are receptive to a ball being played low to the ground and for the creative shot maker this will prove to be a bonus when the wind is whipping across the open farm lands.
The open creeks traversing a number of the holes and the water bodies on the 10th, 14th and 18th bring the risk reward factor aspect of the game to the forefront but always allow for alternative options if the player should feel inclined to take a safer way to the target.

The black rhinoceros, already an endangered species, is under attack by heavily armed poachers in one of its last sanctuaries. Officials in Zimbabwe say they have shot and killed nine illegal hunters there since June.
The area, the Zambezi valley in northeast Zimbabwe, had until last year escaped the severe poaching that has reduced the world`s black rhinoceros population by more than 90 percent in just 15 years.

Mijn weekend in Engeland »
My weekend, in the style of Jez, age 7
I went to England and I took a plane their and it was very nice and then I went to North Yorkshire and I saw sheep and bunnies too but not any ducks and I ate dinner as well and I watched videos too and I went to Tesco's as well and it was different from home because things were called different things like potato chips were called crisps but I didn't get them confused because I knew and we went to some castles that where there as well.
(I have a bit of work to do and will do another report of my weekend in a -slightly- more mature writing style later.)

I liked it when you came because we did fun things and it was good and the food was nice and the castles where reelly historic and good as well and I'm looking forward to seeing you again as well because you're nice.

No offense, friends, but I'm not sure that 7 yr. olds use the phrase "as well" all that frequently... then again, I've never been to England, so I will defer to the British guy if that's the case there. :)

October 25, 2012 10:10 ET
SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwire - Oct 25, 2012) - After the first week of third quarter results announcements, October 15th through October 22nd, the Russell 1000® Index returned 0.4%, with the large-cap Russell 1000 Technology sector reflecting a -1.7% loss. Facebook Inc. and Yahoo! Inc. have reported results, with Apple Inc. scheduled to report third quarter results today.
During the second quarter results announcements, July 16 through July 27, the Russell 1000 Index reflected 2.0% gains, while the large-cap Russell Technology sector rose by 2.6%. In the period between the two quarters, July 30 through October 12, the Russell 1000 Index reflected 3.7% gains, while the Russell 1000 Technology sector posted 2.8% gains. At 17.1% (as of Oct. 19), Technology makes up the largest sector in the Russell 1000 Index, with Apple Inc. as the largest stock in the index by total company capitalization.
"After returning 13.7% YTD through October 22, the Russell 1000 Technology Sector suffered a -1.7% loss in the last week as results season began," said Stephen Wood, chief market strategist for Russell Investments. "This compares to a 15.9% gain in the Russell 1000 Index year-to-date through Oct 22, and a rise of 0.4% in the last week. We were looking for a difficult third quarter and we got one; as investors start to scrutinize top lines, security selection and multi-asset strategies will become more important."
The Russell 1000® Equal Weight Index, which weighs equally each sector and company within the Index, thereby reducing the exposure of any one sector, outperformed the Russell 1000® Index by posting a 0.8% gain from October 15 through October 22.
