Blind Item #8
Before heading home to her kid(s), this former B list entertainer(singer) was doing lines of coke like a champ at a big event where she was trying to fit in but was not succeeding. The open coke use was probably part of the problem.

who was the old lady at the Teens awards?
The Junos were also on last night
Lily? I hope not.
Lea Michele!
And the Junos were on?? I'm such a bad Canadian. We should watch it next time and get Enty to put up a post for us. Big winners? Gotta be Selena Ryder
@TTM---I dont watch that shit. The Lindsay show was on!!!lollll
But I did read that Justin Beiber won (he was a no show like 70% of the nominees--I think they were in Winnipeg this year) and the crowd booed and Serena Ryder defended him saying he worked really hard etc.
Christina Milian was at the Kids Choice... With her kid though.
@TTM Let me know if you need lessons on being a good Canadian. I went to school with a number of them. I think I even got the secret handshake.
Bwahaha! Another bad Canadian!
Yay, Charlie! Let's take it over to Off Topic until someone solves the blind! I'll bring my twonies
Oh yes, I watched LiLo also, wish I had it as easy as her.
Her life isn't easy, they expect her to be up by 10am! The horror!
LOLLL---I just cant get over Lindsays hoarding of clothing. She could sell that high-end stuff and get herself outta debt!
Asslee or Milian
Lea doesn't have kids.
Was last night's episode the one where she pole danced?
@K yes- yes she did. Very reminiscent of her earlier Oscar-worthy movie I Know Who Killed Me...
That apt that Oprah got her, damn how many 20 somethings get an apt like that & in NYC?! Also, her bro wants for his first car one that cost 48K, which she can't afford. My first car was $400, was over 10 years old & I bought it myself, that was about 10 years ago now. It was not safe at all, but it got me around.
Yes because people who hide their cocaine use are so much more superior, alright smarter but superior???
Gross, D. Glad I stuck with Housewives like a good American.
Lindsay is the biggest hypocritical whiner ever - I could only handle 5 minutes of the show, there was nothing to watch until Shameless started so I gave it a whirl - the girl who can't show up on set on time is verbally abusing her man slave, because of course her time is so precious since she has sooo much work lined up NOT
I watched both, thank you DVR!
Im with LadyH and Asslee.
Asslee S sounds ok. I can see it.
Asslee at Day Care pickup? Because I heard that is NOT the place for doing coke (maybe some American moms could confirm??).
Well, I've never done a few rails hanging out, just chatting to other mothers while they tell me the exciting news about how adding French Fried Onions to the top of their casseroles has changed their lives, but I can only speak for me.
i cant imagine the open coke use being a problem. probably 70%+ of those present (underage or not) are users.
Jessica Simpson
Umm. That's how the ho. Got paid.
I want to do coke like a champ. Just once. I want to feel like a champion.
That bitch! Toddles went to bed late last night and I woke up at o'darkthirty to "MOMMY, COME WIPE MY BUTT!!!"
You mean sell all her stolen stuff? She would NEVER!
Also a solid guess @Groovy. I was debating that for a while, but Enty usually rates Jess higher or adds other slash qualifiers because she's done a lot more career-wise.
Sounds right, @di. Aren't those low metal benches around the playgrounds for racking up on? Wow different cultures are so strange! ZOMG!!
Buy a vintage YSL coat from Lilo and get the crabs for free!

Halliburton shares up despite destroying evidence
Halliburton shares rise despite guilty plea related to destroying evidence in 2010 oil spill in Gulf of Mexico.
NEW YORK — Wall Street is shrugging off news that oil services firm Halliburton has admitted to destroying evidence related to the environmentally damaging 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, pushing shares up more than 3.7%.
After the market close Thursday, Halliburton said it will plead guilty to the criminal charged filed by the Justice Department and pay a fine of $200,000. It also made a voluntary contribution of $55 million to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
Investors opted instead to focus on the oil services firm's announcement yesterday that it is planning on buying back $3.3 billion of its shares, as well as the company's quarterly earnings beat announced Monday.
CRIMINAL CHARGES: Halliburton admits destroying Gulf oil spill evidence
The stock was up 27.8% for the year heading into today's trading session, which tops the 18.5% gain for the broader market represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index.
The oil rig blowout three summers ago in the Gulf of Mexico not only caused massive environmental damage, but also hurt the local economies of numerous states along the Gulf Coast, which rely on tourism and fishing profits. The explosion at the oil rig killed 11 workers and polluted hundreds of miles of coastline.
Halliburton was a contractor involved in the drilling of the faulty BP well, which was operated by Transocean.
Halliburton rose $3.70 to $45.98.
Transocean shares dropped 80 cents, or 1.7%, to $47.69. BP's stock fell 11 cents, or 0.3%, to $43.58.
The government charged Halliburton with destroying computer simulations that it conducted a few months after the spill that were related to the process of using cement to seal the pipes in oil wells.

The moment midnight struck June 15, Jon Severe's phone began buzzing like a fly.
Text messages from new numbers came flooding in all at once. This wasn't an emergency — it was the start of a new era, the texting age in college basketball.
It began when the NCAA opted to allow unlimited text messages and phone calls, in addition to contact through social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, from coaches to players who had finished their sophomore year of high school.
It was part of a new model for recruiting that emphasizes relationship-building between coaches and prospects, which was proposed by the Division I Leadership Council after a year-long study.
Severe, a guard at Christ the King, wasn't alone in receiving 15 text
messages from 15 different Division I coaches that night. Conrad Chambers of Team SCAN, a Bronx-based AAU program, had 15. Curtis forward Hassan Martin was sent 13 messages, Lincoln's Isaiah Whitehead had nine and Thomas Jefferson's Jaquan Lynch eight.
Though the messages haven't been quite as consistent, or at such odd times of the day, they haven't stopped, either.
"Sometimes," the 6-foot-7 Martin said, "I text with coaches more than my friends or girls."
SEVERAL of the city's top standouts brought The Post into their world, opening up their phones for an inside look at what college coaches are telling them in this new age of communication.
The messages ranged from typical recruiting jargon ("Just want to tell u how much we
want U and how excited we are now to get the opp to recruit u.") to constructive ("I got a
shooting drill I want you
to try when you go workout.")
to odd ("U got some honeys
with u?") and unusual ("Midnight in [place of school] and thinking about how good u would look in a [school name] uniform)."
Martin received the last two. He didn't know how to respond.
Whitehead's mother, Ericka Rambert, cringed when told of the content in some of the messages.
"That's getting too personal," she said. "I hope they don't ask [Isaiah] those types of questions."
MOST coaches' intent, they said, is to make it clear to the player they are interested, to let him know they are watching. Leading up to this month's live recruiting period, when coaches and players are scattered across the country at showcase events, it was an easy way to plan out the month.
Several coaches said they would text the players after watching them, to let them know they were there.
Siena assistant coach Craig Carter tries to be unique, telling recruits what he is doing and connecting with them on a personal level, rather than telling the player how much he wants them.
"I try to pride myself on making sure I'm not too cliché," Carter
said. "That's when kids don't respond to you."
CHAMBERS, the highly recruited guard from Team SCAN and Chester High School in Philadelphia, prefers coaches who talk to him about life as much as basketball. Severe is the same way. His favorite coach asks him about what he is studying as much as how many points he scored.
"I want to feel comfortable I can talk to the coach [I'm going to play for] about anything," Severe said.
The rule would seem to favor younger coaches who have grown up in the technology age, coaches familiar with texting. But Martin, Severe, Chambers and Whitehead said they get texts from coaches of all ages, assistants and head coaches. Admittedly not a big texter, St. Peter's coach John Dunne has gotten into the act.
"It's like any other business," the veteran coach said. "You have to keep up with the times if you want to succeed."
Marist's 43-year-old head coach Chuck Martin agreed.
"It's an advantage for the smart guy," Martin said, "the guy who understands how to use technology."
CARTER, the Siena coach, said he thinks the extra contact could ease the exponentially-rising transfer rate. This past season, nearly 500 players switched schools. This, he said, will allow coaches and players to get to know each other better, which could lead to fewer mistakes.
"We have less time to see them in the summer, so character evaluation counts even more," Niagara
assistant Mike Farrelly said. "You can get to know kids better, but you still have to do your homework."
Robert Morris coach Andy Toole, for instance, said coaches can gain insight into recruits by how often they respond, and when. Fordham coach Tom Pecora, however, said the bottom line regarding transfers is playing time.
"When you throw the ball up, there are more kids sitting than playing," he said.
THE one consistent reaction to the new rule is it is a hot topic. For everyone in favor of it, there are those who oppose it. Some feel it is too much. Others can't understand why there is a limit on college coaches seeing players during the spring and summer but they can now text and call them freely.
For the most part, players like the idea. Severe, the Christ the King guard with several scholarship offers, is like most kids these days who prefer to text rather than spend hours talking on the phone.
But there also are many who feel there should be restrictions of some kind, such as days per week or hours in a day.
"Recruiting is romance, and there are coaches who will do whatever it takes to get a kid," Pecora said.
Montverde Academy's Kevin Boyle, who has coached some of the nation's most highly
recruited players — such as Cleveland Cavaliers Rookie of the Year Kyrie Irving and the Charlotte Bobcats' No. 2 overall NBA draft pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist — plans to limit its use with rules for his players and the coaches contacting them.
"How much do you really need to say to a kid?" said Ron Naclerio, the coach of Queens PSAL powerhouse Cardozo.
KYLE Anderson Sr. — an AAU coach with the New Jersey Playaz Club whose son, Kyle Anderson, is now at UCLA and was one of the nation's top prospects last year — said he feels it is up to the adults in a child's life to school them on how to handle the barrage. There is no written rule, he pointed out, that makes kids respond. Pecora echoed that sentiment. He has told players that setting boundaries won't diminish their recruitment.
But Christ the King coach Joe Arbitello said he doesn't understand the need to limit such contact.
"If she was a hot 18-year-old, you wouldn't limit it, would you?" Arbitello asked in jest.
Naclerio, who has sent countless players to the Division I level and had one of the nation's top rising seniors in Jermaine Lawrence before he transferred, expects it to get out of hand. He has seen what his phone does when he has a big-time recruit.
"There's going to be abuse," he predicted. "Why don't we just have unlimited recruiting? Why don't we just have it so coaches can recruit every day they want. You need to have some rules."
WHEN the NCAA passed the rule, it hoped "to limit the influence of third parties on the recruiting process," based on a press release. Coaches don't agree, at least not locally, where there are as many advisors, handlers or AAU coaches as there are Starbucks locations. Though the rule will allow coaches to go directly to kids, that won't eliminate the third party, coaches say.
"That's never going to happen," said Iowa State assistant coach Matt Abdelmassih, who has made his mark recruiting New York City. "They are still with their kids every day. They are the ones that molded them when they were young, and they're the ones who they trust and listen to."
Or, as one advisor said, "My kid is going to tell me everything they say anyway."
The advisors, Eastern Illinois assistant coach Dan Matic said, may circumvent the system by taking away their player's phone. Matic does think it gives more power to the players and college coaches in the situation. Instead of relying on his handler for what a coach is saying, the player is seeing it firsthand.
"I think it takes power away from [advisors]," Matic said. "You're going to have more kids make their own decisions. It's putting it back in the kids' hands."
VIRTUALLY all parties agree that though the new texting rule may change recruiting somewhat, the same bottom line applies. Kids will go where they feel comfortable and with the coaches they are closest with.
"You can get it through text, calling, Twitter, Facebook, email or old fashioned courier mail," said Martin, the Marist coach, "but it's all about relationships."

Bachelet to Lead UN Women
United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced today that former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet will be the first head of the new UN agency, UN Women. Bachelet was elected the first woman president of Chile in 2006. As President, she fulfilled a campaign promise to institute a gender-balanced cabinet. She first gained visibility and popularity in Chile as minister of health in 2000, when she revamped Chile's public health system by instituting 24-hour health care to cut waiting times that had previously been as long as three months. In 2002, she was appointed Chile's Defense Minister and was the first woman in a Latin American country to hold the post.
Charlotte Bunch of the Center for Women's Global Leadership at Rutgers University, told the Canadian Press, Bachelet "has shown an ability to bring women's rights and gender perspectives onto mainstream agendas, which is one of the challenges that we've been working for since the last U.N. women's conference in Beijing in 1995."
The UN voted unanimously in July to create a new office on women to be called the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women). Official operations of UN Women will commence in January 2011. UN Women consolidates four formerly separate entities within the UN that work for the advancement of women: the Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW), the International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW), the Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women (OSAGI), and the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). The UN has estimated that UN Women will have a minimum budget of $500 million, which is twice the budget of all four former organizations combined.
The organization will have two basic functions. One is to assist intergovernmental bodies in forming policies and global standards. The other is to help Member States uphold the standards set by these bodies, along with providing the support to do so. UN Women's work will be guided by the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

The E-92 is the latest offspring of a volume series that originates back to 1995 and the 1.5MW E-66. It is a process Enercon describes as "continuous technological development".
The E-66 grew into the 1.8/2MW E-66 (1999), the 2.0/2.3MW E-70 (2003) and the 2.0/2.3/3MW E-82 volume series (2005). These models are all semi-standard fitted with an electrically excited air-cooled generator featuring an identical 5.3-metre outer diameter. The exception is a strong-wind 3MW E-82 E3 model version, which features a water-cooled generator. Rotor diameters since 1995 have grown in four steps from 66 metres to the current 92 metres, which represents a near doubling of the rotor swept area. At the end of March 2012 more than 10,000 turbines have been developed from the birth of the E-66 up to the E-82.
The E-92 shares many traits with the E-82 series, including the cast main carrier, ring generator, power electronics and turbine control system. Standardising components enables reduced lead times in bringing a product to market and reduced economies of scale in manufacture. As an example of this, Enercon has, in recent years, placed greater focus on replacing welded steel components with redesigned loadand shape-optimised cast equivalents suitable for semi-automated mass production in its own foundry.
While the diameter of all Enercon in-house built generators has largely remained unchanged, generator depth was increased with the E-82. As the turbine's rotor diameter is 11 metres larger than the E-70, rotational speed has to be reduced in order to maintain a comparable tip speed. This has a direct link to aerodynamic noise production, which typically increases with tip speed.
For direct-drive, maintaining an unchanged power rating via reduced rotor speed could cause an increase in generator torque and thus internal heat generation. "Scaling up the E-92 allowed us to reuse the original 3MW E-82 generator - without water cooling - and without significant other changes because extensive tests showed sufficient thermal reserves for tolerating the slight reduction in rotational speed," said Enercon sales director Stefan Lutkemeyer.
Enercon airfoils are - apart from a distinct blade tip winglet - characterised by a spoiler that gradually widens towards the rotor centre and extends to the nacelle spinner/cover. This yield-boosting feature was first introduced in the E-70 turbine in 2003 and is now a standard fitting on all models from 330kW to 7.5MW.
The 43.8-metre E-92 blade's airfoil is more slender when compared with the shorter E-82 blade. This measure is aimed at minimising machine stress and optimum load distribution while achieving reduced mass. Another visible change between both blade designs is the E-92 spoiler width that has been reduced and now stretches over a substantially longer distance towards the blade tip.
The E-92 offers 26% more rotor swept area than the 2.3MW E-82. This translates, according to company statistics, into a 13% higher energy yield at common wind sites with 6.5m/s average wind speed. The yield performance claim by Lutkemeyer is interesting. "The new E-92 will definitely defy one or another of our competitors' turbines with a 100-metre rotor diameter," he claims.
The E-92 will come with hub heights between 85-138 metres, including two concrete-steel hybrid towers of 104 and 138 metres. A prototype is planned for the fourth quarter of this year and will be commercially available in 2013.

In that case, gear may be in order. We asked three personal trainers to recommend their favorite pieces of inexpensive exercise apparatus ($25 or less), plus workouts to go with them.
Some trainers went way below budget and offered up unconventional gear such as soup cans and water bottles. Not only are such items inexpensive, they're easily obtained (of crucial importance when traveling). One word of caution: Objects such as soup cans can be difficult to work with at first because they're not as evenly weighted as dumbbells and may be harder to grip. Move the weights slowly and practice with them before starting to exercise.
Daniel Saltos
Assistant personal training manager at Crunch in West Hollywood
I use unconventional things like soup cans because a lot of my clients travel or they're stay-at-home moms and can't always get to the gym. This way they can exercise at home or on the road, and these exercises are also something people can do in conjunction with what they do at the gym. Also, there is a fun element to it.
If you have small hands, Campbell's soup cans are pretty small, and Progresso cans are larger. You can go down the soup aisle at the grocery store and find something that suits your needs. I like soup cans because the fluid moving inside adds a bit of instability that challenges your auxiliary muscle groups and your core a little more, unlike a dumbbell, which has a centered weight.
To do jumping jacks with the soup cans, start with your feet together and hold a can of soup in each hand at about shoulder level with arms bent. Jump into an inverted "V" position with the legs open, and press the arms up over the head with the elbows near the ears, as if doing a shoulder press. Don't swing the arms overhead. Jump back to the first position with feet together, and lower the arms to shoulder height. Repeat, and make this a timed exercise -- start with 30 seconds and add more time as you get stronger. This is a good cardiovascular exercise that targets the leg muscles and also the upper body, including the shoulders, triceps and back.
A good full-body exercise is the squat-curl-press. Start with feet hip-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward. Hold a can of soup in each hand down by your side. Squat, and as you come up, do a bicep curl. Then press the arms up over the head into a shoulder press. Keep the knees slightly soft -- you don't ever want to lock them. As you drop back down to a squat bring the arms down, do a reverse curl, and then place the arms down by your sides.
Do two to three sets of 12 to 15 reps. This targets the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps and the core, as well as the biceps, shoulders and triceps. You can incorporate both of these exercises into a circuit, which will increase the heart rate.
Mike Donavanik
Trainer and owner of West Coast Strength & Conditioning in West Hollywood
I like the exercise ball because of the versatility it offers. You can literally work every muscle group on it.
One of my favorite exercises to do is a push-up, and there are many variations you can do. Start by planting your hands on the ground in a typical push-up position, with hands below the shoulders. Keep your dominant foot on the ground for support and bring the other leg on top of the ball. Once you're stable, bring the other leg onto the ball.
The more you roll your legs back onto the ball, the easier the push-up is going to be, so beginners can start with their thighs on the ball or adjust accordingly. Bend the arms and do a push-up, making sure the hips don't drop down, which will put an additional strain on the back. Do three sets of 20 to 25 reps. As you improve, you can roll forward, so you're not as supported by the ball. This targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, lats and core.
If these start to get easy, try a more advanced move: Put your hands between the top and the side of the ball, not directly on top, and your feet on the floor in push-up position, about shoulder-width apart. Instead of the legs trying to stabilize you, all the work is in the torso. If that move is too difficult, try placing the ball against a wall or in a corner which will make the ball more stable and give you foundation for doing the exercise correctly.
Two good books that include more exercises with the stability ball are by Mark Verstegen: "The Core Performance: The Revolutionary Workout Program to Transform Your Body and Your Life," and "Core Performance Essentials: The Revolutionary Nutrition and Exercise Plan Adapted for Everyday Use." Another good book about using the stability ball is "Strength Ball Training" by Lorne Goldenberg and Peter Twist.
You can also use plastic water bottles to do strength training. I like the Smartwater bottles because they're thinner and cylindrical so the weight is more evenly distributed and they're easy to handle. If you fill one up with water it will weigh about 2.2 pounds, and if you fill it with sand it's about double that weight.
My favorite exercise to do with the water bottle is a wood chop. Stand with legs hip-width apart, and hold the water bottle like a baseball bat. Bend the legs and lean your body toward the left, bringing the water bottle down toward the feet and adding a little pivot in the right leg. Stand and twist toward the right, bringing the water bottle up over the head, pivoting on the left toe. Do three sets of 15 repetitions on each side. In this exercise, everything should come from the core.
David Van Daff
Trainer and senior director, business development for Bally Total Fitness, Chicago
A foam roll -- a cylindrical piece of foam -- is a tremendous tool for anyone, and most people should have one at home.
It can be used for myofascial release, or loosening and stretching the fascia, the connective tissue linking bones, muscle and organs. That type of exercise won't help you burn a ton of calories, but it will prepare you for exercise by getting you warmed up, improving flexibility and promoting injury prevention. People who run, for example, often deal with very tight, stiff muscles, which can make running painful and difficult. If you run when your body isn't warmed up, you're putting your body at tremendous risk of injury. It's also good if you're sedentary, because if you're sitting all day you're not extending the muscles at all.
This exercise for the iliotibial band is especially good for runners or anyone who's not moving or stretching that much during the day. The iliotibial band goes from the outside of the pelvis over the hip and knee and helps keep the knee stable, but it gets very tight if you don't stretch it. Start by lying sideways on top of a foam roller placed horizontally underneath you, directly under your hip. Keep the bottom leg straight and the top leg bent, with the foot on the floor in front of the body (a modified side plank position). Bend the arm closest to the floor and rest on it, supporting your upper body. Place the other hand on the top hip.
Slowly roll the body over the foam roll. Don't allow the body to sag in the middle, and make sure the roll is under the side of the leg. Repeat for 10 repetitions.
If you have a pre-existing injury in this area, check with your doctor before trying this.

Stainless steel
The cutlery, the accessories and any stainless steel ustensils stand themselves out by a long-span resilience. We recommend you nonetheless to follow the advices as below to maintain their shape and longlife resistance.
It would be advisable to always wash your products in stainless steel before they are first used.
As far as the daily cleaning of stainless steel products goes, use somer water and neutral soap and then rinse them and dry them with a dried and sweet cloth so as to avoid water traces.
If there are sediment marks on your cutlery or others accessories made in stainless steel, you should rather use white vinagar to take off the encrusted sediment. Also respect the brushing direction while cleaning with some white vinegar.
What you should avoid : Never use neither bleach nor abrasive items such as "sponge" or "steel wool" or you will definitely ruin your products made in stainless steel. Do not place your cutlery and accessories into a dishwasher
and along with others metal (iron, silver and so on...) or even along with proucts that may have got rusty stains.
Indeed, electrolysis may happen and then risk to definitely damage your cutlery and/or accessories.
Plastic and derivated
In case of a hand-wash of your items in plastic and derivated plastic, use a soft and non-abrasive sponge or you will scuff the plastic and then pour out some washing-up liquid before to rinse with some hot water.
Unless otherwise indicated, you also can put plastic elements into a dishwasher by placing them in a such way that they do not clink together or along with ustensils and cutleries. You will, therefore, avoid the scuffs.
What you should not do : These products do not have to enter in contact with flames (BBQ, gaz stove...).
To avoid scuffing your derivated plastic (melamine, polycarbonate and acrylic), do not use sharpening ustensils or abrasive ustensils like abrasive sponge and steel wool.

Some of these stories are a few weeks old -- sorry, that's what happens when you go to SXSW!
- ACM Names Barbara Liskov Recipient of the 2008 ACM A.M. Turing Award You had to know I'd be excited about this one! Barbara Liskov is the second female recipient of the award (Fran Allen was the first, in 2006). Dr. Liskov was the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in Computer Science in the United States, and she is given the award "for contributions to practical and theoretical foundations of programming language and system design, especially related to data abstraction, fault tolerance, and distributed computing." Congratulations, Barbara!
- Computer Science Majors Increase at Most Significant Rate Since Dot Com Boom Good news for the field of computing, however, if you look at the data, the percentage of women has remained the same.
- Psychology of nerding and the joy of reckless tech The topic of taking stuff apart without regard for whether or not it will work when put back together has come up in my life a lot, recently. For example, Mat Schaffer and I gave career day talks to young women last week, and we spoke about doing just this, to see if they have a knack for technology. My recommendation: spend $5 on an old VCR at Goodwill and pull the thing to pieces.
- Code cracker remade Bletchley Park scientists and makers have rebuilt The Bombe -- the code cracking machines used to break the Enigma cipher in WWII! Plus, Bletchley Park is in need of saving, so please contribute, if you can.
- Students tie £56 camera to balloon and send it to edge of space to capture stunning images of Earth Now these are the types of projects that high schoolers ought to be doing! (The full set of photos are here.)
- Is Genius Born or Can It Be Learned No answers, but some interesting facts are mentioned.

Military, Training
By By Andrew Drwiega, International Bureau Chief | November 26, 2013

The UK's Royal Air Force (RAF) has now begun training with the latest version of its Eurocopter Puma helicopter, the Puma Mk2.
A £260-million (around $420-million) investment by the UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) will see 24 new Puma Mk2 conversions from the older type of aircraft, which will allow the type to overcome obsolescence issues so that it can continue its role as a battlefield support helicopter.
The upgrade includes new Turbomeca Makila 1A1 turboshaft engines, which according to the MoD will result in 35 percent more power and added fuel efficiency, giving them twice the range of the Puma Mk1s. Other upgrades include digital glass cockpits and improved ballistic protection.

So far crews from 33 and 230 Squadrons based at RAF Benson in Oxfordshire have flown the new helicopter. Eurocopter UK handed over the first aircraft to RAF back in September 2012 at Eurocopter UK's base at Oxford airport.
Said Philip Dunne, Minister for Defense, Equipment, Support and Technology: "The delivery of the Puma Mk2 will further strengthen our world class helicopter fleet which recently saw the introduction of the upgraded Merlin Mk2 and upgraded Chinook Mk4s."
According to the MoD, seven of the 24 Puma Mk2s have been delivered with the rest being delivered before the official enter service date of 2015.
In June, Eurocopter UK announced that it had been given a €60 million (approximately $81 million), three-year contract to maintain the new helicopters.
While the upgrade was begun at Eurocopter's facilities in France and Romania, specialist UK companies have benefited from the program including: Eurocopter UK (LEP Prime contractor; secure communications, TES and role modifications); Ferranti Technologies (helmet mounted display); GKN Aerospace (self sealing fuel tanks); Permali (ballistic protection); QinetiQ (qualification and testing); Selex (defensive aid suite); Thales (avionics components); Cobham (antenna systems); GE Aviation (aircraft management systems); and Rockwell Collins UK (communications/navigation equipment).

How Texas Laws Are Made
Texas Co-Op Power brings us the How Texas Laws Are Made infographic outlining the process bills go through in the state legislature to become the law of the land. Also available as a PDF for download here.
The 83rd session of the Texas Legislature—150 representatives and 31 senators—is under way. What transpires over the 140-day session that began January 8 may seem incomprehensibly complex to the average citizen. So, in the interest of keeping our co-op members informed and involved, we offer this compact guide to how a bill moves through the legislative process and reasons why communication with your legislators matters.
Designed by Mike Wirth Art with Suzanne Cooper-Guasco, Ph.D., this infographic uses a game-board design style to online all of the steps along the path. The color-coding to differentiate the activities between the House, the Senate and the Governor is clear and easy to understand.

There's something about Bethenny Frankel that I've always been drawn to. I followed her from Real Housewives of New York, to Bethenny Getting Married. Truth be told the main reason I liked RHNY was Bethenny. Although of course I still watch it now (all the housewive shows are my guilty pleasures:)) it definitely got more boring without her.
Firstly I love her quick tongue. Granted, that gets her into trouble sometimes but I tend to get flustered if someone says something to me I'm not expecting so I wish I had that quality where I can say something in return without missing a beat!
Then of course is her fashion sense. Her body is sick (in a good way!) so I'm sure anything looks awesome on her. But I mostly love Continue reading

The Barter Blog
"Pay What You Can" Performances Make A Difference
May 01, 2015
Marshall Jones is an active eight-year-old Abingdon boy who has just received a new kidney, a kidney he has been waiting on for four long years.
"Battling medical costs, we are trying not to lose all our family fun outings," says Tina Foster-Jones, Marshall's mother. "Having 'pay what you can' shows are a blessing to our family."
The "pay what you can" program lets anyone come see the first performance of Barter resident company productions for whatever he or she can afford to pay. This option, many times, allows entire families to be able to share in the experience of watching a story unfold on stage.
In the past, Marshall's family had regularly attended Barter productions. "But when hospital bills started stacking up, buying tickets for three children and two adults became just a little too cumbersome," said Tina. "It is important to me that the arts are a part of my children's lives." And that is when Tina found out about Barter Theatre's "pay what you can" performances.
"It has helped our family immensely," says Tina, "It means I do not have to worry about my children missing the opportunity to see performing arts."
Attending performances at Barter Theatre and Barter Stage II are not the only ways Tina and her family participate in Barter activities. Twin girls Kyndall and Jyll are enrolled in Barter Youth Academy (BYA) for the second year in a row. Marshall, who received a scholarship to attend BYA classes in 2014, hopes to rejoin the program later this year.
Since returning home from Charlottesville, Va. after his transplant, Marshall has received good reports from all his doctors and is expected to make a full recovery. Everyone in the Barter family sends best wishes to Marshall and his family as they enjoy this new chapter in their lives.

Mercuri Urval in the Energy Sector
Discover a renewable source of professional energy
The energy sector is one of the world's largest industries with a critical role in global society and the daily life of individuals.
As a highly diverse industry with companies of all sizes, it has a long value chain whose activities range from on- or offshore gas extraction to smart metering for households. Providers must adhere to both local and international regulations and standards.
We recognise that as the marketplace changes, our energy clients – both start-ups and the major utilities – are facing as many challenges as opportunities.
Massive growth ahead
The industry stands at the threshold of the most rapid growth period in human history: as the vast populations of emerging markets see their living standards rise, so their energy consumption increases.
Adapting to climate change
Meanwhile, in more mature markets, the industry is expected to adapt to climate challenges and security requirements. In all markets, new, renewable technologies promising cleaner power generation are growing fast. As a consequence, energy markets are simultaneously undergoing competitive deregulation and climate legislation.
Higher levels of complexity
Energy companies of all kinds face higher levels of complexity and must adapt their organisations accordingly. They must deal with the uncertainty of developing technologies and political regulation. In order to meet the demand for "smarter" grids that reduce losses and consumption, traditional energy companies must form new alliances with companies from the IT, telecom and internet sectors.
Mercuri Urval works closely with companies in the energy sector and has particular expertise in:
- Oil and gas production
- Power generation
- Electricity and gas supply
- Renewable energy

Ladies' Launchpad / Kathy McShane
Many entrepreneurs dream of falling out of bed and landing in their home office. They are frustrated with the amount of valuable time spent commuting that could be dedicated to their work.
However, many find distractions in their homes that can range from taking the dog out, interruptions from children or putting in a load of laundry. The number of distractions home business owners face is limitless.
Therefore, to be efficient when working for home here are a few tips to keep in mind.
Inform friends and family that although you are working from home that you don't have time for interruptions. Family members should know that unless it is an emergency, you should not be interrupted, just as if you were working away from home.
Have a separate area of the house that is for business purposes only. Working from the dining room table is not good for your family or for your ability to conduct business in a professional manner.
Separate personal and business digital devices. If you use one for business and one for personal use, you are more likely to unplug when your work day is done. This allows you to make sure to take down time, and therefore be more efficient in the long run.
Get dressed. One of the worst things that you can do is to stay in your sweats and slippers all day. There is no need to dress like you are going to a Wall Street office, but you should have clothing that makes you feel like a professional. There are amazing psychological benefits to getting dressed for the part.
Don't let yourself become isolated. Go to a local coffee shop or library. This may seem counter intuitive, but it is important to recharge your batteries. Simply being around others will give you more energy. You can also consider joining a Mastermind Group.
Consider renting professional space if you are meeting with a client. Some clients are uncomfortable meeting at someone's home.
More than 50 percent of small-business owners work from home. There are lots of good reasons for this. However, the trick is to make sure that you treat this working situation in a professional manner.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stocks advanced modestly on Friday, leaving the S&P 500 with slight gains in a volatile week as strong economic data overshadowed growth concerns in China and Europe and let investors discount the impact of expected government spending cuts.
Stocks opened sharply lower for the session as Asian factories slowed and European output fell, but most of the losses evaporated after a report showed manufacturing activity expanded last month at its fastest clip in 20 months.
Consumer sentiment also rose in February as Americans turned more optimistic about the job market.
With $85 billion in government budget cuts set to begin, President Barack Obama blamed Republicans for failure to reach a compromise to avert the cuts, known as sequester. But the stock market appeared to have already priced in the failure by legislators to reach an agreement.
"We were able to dig out of that hole, but not make any great strides on it either," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois. "We will probably be in a holding pattern pending some big development on a broader budget deal."
The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> gained 35.17 points, or 0.25 percent, to 14,089.66 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.spx> added 3.52 points, or 0.23 percent, to 1,518.20. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.ixic> advanced 9.55 points, or 0.30 percent, to 3,169.74.
For the week, the Dow rose 0.6 percent, the S&P 500 edged up 0.2 percent and the Nasdaq gained 0.3 percent.
The slight gains for equities came during a volatile week that saw markets decline on Monday after uncertain Italian elections, only to rebound in the next two sessions as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke defended the central bank's stimulus measures.
The low interest rates due to the Federal Reserve's accommodative monetary policy have helped equities continue to attract investors. The Dow is less than 1 percent away from its all-time intraday high of 14,198.10. Declines have been shallow and short-lived, with investors jumping in to buy on dips.
Intuitive Surgical
Groupon Inc
Gap Inc
Chesapeake Energy Corp
Volume was modest with about 6.72 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT and Nasdaq, slightly above the daily average of 6.5 billion.
Advancing stocks outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a ratio of about 17 to 13, while on the Nasdaq, seven stocks rose for about every five stocks that fell.

This may sound like a totally stupid question, but I was trying to buy the ingredients to make the purple ear cleaning solution that so many swear by:
16 oz. bottle isopropyl alcohol (or witch hazel)
4 tablespoons Boric Acid Powder
16 drops Gentian Violet 1% Solution
I went to Walgreens, and they had the Genetian Violet solution. However, when I asked the pharmacist where to find the boric acid powder, he said look on the insecticide aisle - for boric acid used to get rid of roaches.
So, my question is: do different types of boric acid exist (like one for first aid, one for insecticide, etc.)?
Thanks in advance for your help.

2. That any changes in proposed management or proposed ownership (10 percent or more of stock), including new acquisitions of or subscriptions to 10 percent or more of stock, will render this commitment null and void unless such proposal is approved by the Regional Director of the FDIC's Chicago Regional Office ("Regional Director") prior to opening of the bank;

IN RE: Auto Club Trust, FSB
Dearborn, Michigan
Application for Federal Deposit Insurance (Savings Association Insurance Fund)
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1815), an application for Federal deposit insurance with membership in the Savings Association Insurance Fund has been filed on behalf of Auto Club Trust, (ATC), a proposed new Federal savings bank to be located at One Auto Club Drive, Dearborn, Michigan.
ATC's shareholders will be Auto Club Insurance Association (80%), and Auto Club Services, Inc. (20%). Auto Club Trust's focus will be solely on trust services.

Space Telescope Science Institute
Baltimore, Maryland USA
Motivated by recent advances in numerical relativity and with an eye towards the future of gravitational wave observatories, we were pleased to announce a conference on the observational signatures of supermassive black hole mergers, including electromagnetic signals detectable today. The primary goal of this meeting was to bring together theorists and observers from a number of different fields and to foster the communication that is critical for moving forward in actually detecting and characterizing the properties of merging black holes over a wide range of time-scales. To this end, the conference was structured around a relatively small number of plenary sessions with a large amount of time dedicated for discussion.
- Black Holes in Galaxy Mergers and Evolution
- Black Hole Merger Mechanisms ("The Final Parsec Problem")
- Gravitational Waves
- Electromagnetic Counterparts
- Gravitational Recoil
- Imprint on Galaxy Structure
- Spin as a Probe of Black Hole Evolution
- Next-generation Observatories

Three Generations Of 33 Roadsters
We often see the hot rod gene handed down from father to son, but it runs rampant within the Stuban clan. Theyre currently three generations deep when it comes to cars.
They not only build cars together, they compete together. Last year, the two eldest Stubans entered their respective rides in the Detroit Autorama and were in direct competition for the coveted Ridler Award. Neither won the award, but Joe walked out with Outstanding in Class, Outstanding Undercarriage, Outstand-ing Paint, Outstanding Engine, and Outstanding Display awards, while Dale walked away with a Best in Class award. While the big boys were competing in their categories, little Austin Stubanfive years old at the timescored a Best in Class in his respective category with his Tot-Rod. Also, Austins dad and granddad each garnered a Rod & Custom Pros Pick award at the 01 NSRA Nationals in Louisville, where we couldnt bear to leave without getting them all on film.
Check out all three in the sidebars below.

Ventrac Unveils New 3400 Tractor
Posted on February 3, 2014 Tagged in 3400 Tractor, News, Products, Uncategorized
Continuing its commitment to produce the highest quality sub-compact tractors in the industry, Ventrac unveils the newest addition to their product lineup, the Ventrac 3400. The 3400 is designed to fill the gap in the marketplace for a piece of equipment that finds the middle ground between a commercial zero-turn and a compact tractor.
Blending the Best of Both Worlds
"The 3400 is a great blend between a zero turn and a compact tractor, says Dustin Steiner, Product Development Specialist with Ventrac. Dustin adds, "It blends the maneuverability and visibility that a zero turn gives you and the versatility and power of a compact tractor". He also states, "What really sets the 3400 apart is the center articulating frame. It is a more maneuverable machine and offers a stability to operate on slopes, plus leaves a lighter footprint to minimize turf disturbance."
The 3400 tractor maintains the same professional quality craftsmanship as all other Ventrac tractors, with features that include hydrostatic all-wheel drive, a center-pivoting-articulating frame, power steering, and patented hand controls. The 3400 is available in two engine options, the 3400L gas engine and the 3400Y, diesel engine. Equipped with a patented Tandem Drive Train, the 3400 efficiently transfers power to where it's needed for unparalleled performance and power.
Over 15 commercial grade attachments make this machine a powerhouse of productivity for year round use. The Ventrac Mount System allows operators to change attachments quickly and efficiently, moving from job to job with ease. Standard on the 3400 is Ventrac's patented S.D.L.A. hand controls, which allows for easy control of Speed, Direction, Lift and Auxiliary function all with one hand. A forward and reverse foot control pedal is also standard for ease of operation. The extra-large premium comfort seat with adjustable slide rails provides many hours of riding comfort for operators. The model 3400 is backed with a two year commercial and three year residential warranty. Continue Reading…

Students trade for Gorilla wear
Tuesday, September 3, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
For two hours, Tuesday, Pitt State students queued up on the Oval to trade in t-shirts from other universities and colleges for a brand new Pitt State shirt. Organizers in the Office of Marketing and Communication said the event, "Trade Your Tee Tuesday," was an overwhelming success.
"We know how proud our students are to be Gorillas, and we want them to show that pride by wearing Pitt State apparel," said Chris Kelly, associate vice president for marketing and communication. "And maybe we're a little biased, but we'd rather see our students in Pitt State apparel than any other university's shirts."
In their short stint on the Oval, the PSU team collected more than 200 shirts from other schools that will now be donated to a charitable organization.

Women in HCI Lecture / Allison Druin / University of Maryland / October 9, 2009 / Noon / Howe Hall / Alliant Energy-Lee Liu Auditorium / Iowa State University
Abstract > For many children (ages 2-12) in the United States, mobile technologies are now an integral part of their everyday living and play experiences. They commonly use mobile phones, netbooks, pen-based computing, GPSs, computer-enhanced toys and much more.
But this is not the case for all children. There are still young people who live in places where mobile technologies are just becoming affordable. Others live in areas where there is no cell phone service at all. And still other children live in places where basic living necessities outweigh the need for electronic technologies. There are extreme differences in children's opportunities and challenges for learning with new technologies.
Therefore, in my talk I will discuss how to approach designing for these diverse children. This talk is not about how to make mobile technologies. It is about how to make BETTER mobile technologies for the world's children.
I will demonstrate some of our newest work at the Human-Computer Interaction Lab in mobile collaboration and intergenerational mobile storytelling. I will also suggest how these new mobile technologies call for new approaches to design.
Speaker > Allison Druin is the Director of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab (HCIL) and an Associate Professor in the University of Maryland's College of Information Studies and Institute for Advanced Computer Studies. Her work includes: developing digital libraries for children; designing technologies for families; and creating collaborative storytelling technologies for the classroom.
Druin's most active research is the International Children's Digital Library (ICDL)
now the largest digital library in the world for children which she and colleagues expanded to a non-profit foundation.
She is the author or editor of four books, and her most recent book was published Spring 2009: Mobile Technology for Children (Morgan Kaufmann, 2009).
She received her Ph.D. in 1997 from the University of New Mexico, her M.S. in 1987 from the MIT Media Lab, and a B.F.A. in 1985 from Rhode Island School of Design.
Sponsored By > Women in Human Computer Interaction Series, Women in STEM Speaker Series, and Committee on Lectures (funded by GSB).
