Revision as of 07:00, 12 March 2013
This project is called State Agency Databases Across the Fifty States. Our original aim was to only include items produced by governmental agencies in the fifty states that were also databases.
Since the project got underway in June 2007, a number of people have submitted resources, that while useful, fell outside the scope of this project. Either they weren't really databases or they were not published by a governmental entity belonging to a given state. But they are useful and so we're loath to just throw them away.
So here is their parking space. This page is arranged alphabetically by state and then by name of non-database (or non-state agency) resource. There will also be a sentence or two about why the resource is out of project scope.
We hope you find this page useful. It is the hope of the project coordinator that this page will stop growing after a certain point because their will be wide understanding of the main project's goals. It is also possible that this page could eventually go away if materials here meet the scope of other ALA information projects.

How to Patch a Spotty Lawn in No Time
The post How to Patch a Spotty Lawn in No Time appeared first on Freshome.com.
Finding yourself with a spotty lawn can feel like one of the most irritating parts of homeownership. The rest of your lawn may be lush and green, but sometimes you can end up with ugly, brown, dead patches.
A number of different problems can cause a spotty lawn. If you have a pet that uses just one part of the yard most frequently as a bathroom spot, that?s a sure way to kill the grass. Heavy foot traffic can damage your lawn, too. Other causes include heat and drought and damage from grubs and animal digging. Luckily, it?s a fairly easy process to patch a spotty lawn. If you need to patch a spotty lawn, it only takes part of an afternoon to source the materials you need and plant the patches. Though you'll have to arrange for days to weeks of consistent watering. It?s also not too expensive, but prices vary based on how much ground you have to cover. Grass seed itself can run around $10 for a 3-pound bag. You can find grass seed starter fertilizer for around $20, which often covers around 5,000 square feet. You can also find grass seed/fertilizer mixes at around $20 for about a 12-pound bag.

I am trying to write the Euclidean algorithm in the following way:
$A = \lfloor A \div B \rfloor \times B + (\text{remainder of}) \: A \div B $
Now is there any symbol I can use to say "remainder of A $\div$ B"? I know that in the C programming language there is the operator % for modulus; is that a valid symbol in maths? Can I write A % B? Or is there some other way?

Issa IRS probe rankles some in GOP
It was supposed to be an easy win: The most loathed federal agency engaged in what amounted to discrimination against tea party-backed nonprofits.
But 10 months out from the first IRS scandal headline, some Republicans are unhappy with their party's investigation — and they point a finger at the man who helped sustain the national uproar: Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).
Story Continued Below
In background interviews with more than a half-dozen House Republicans on the Oversight and Ways and Means committees, the two panels probing the matter in that chamber, members expressed frustration that the investigation has become a spectacle that's dragged on and distracted from serious charges.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP hammers new IRS chief)
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who is hoping to replace Issa as chairman next year, expressed regret over the pace of the investigation, saying it's "lost momentum." Issa will lose his spot because of term limits — though he might try to fight to stay.
"There is a perception that if your case is rock-solid, it doesn't need months to sort it out," said Chaffetz, who like several others, said the recent dust-up between Issa and top panel Democrat Elijah Cummings was unfortunate .
"[It] was a distraction, but we'll get back on track. Issa made a mistake, he said as much, and I would hope to learn from that," he said. "But there is a lot of meat on this issue with the IRS, this is not some made-up sensational headline he is trying to grab."
Others were more blunt.
"There's a far better way to take this on. … There's broad frustration with how this has played out, with the road he's taken," one Oversight Republican, who asked for anonymity to speak frankly, said of the investigation.
( PHOTOS: 10 slams on the IRS)
The list of complaints includes: Issa waited nearly a year to bring a key IRS witness back to his panel; he let an offer to hear that witness speak slip and may even be causing sympathy for ex-agency official Lois Lerner.
Lerner's admission that the agency held up applications from tea party conservative groups seeking nonprofit status sparked the controversy in May, followed by a critical inspector general report.
Issa noted in a statement that he requested that report and said his panel uncovered the roles of various Washington officials. The lawmaker also blasted the agency for what he calls foot-dragging in producing documents.
"We are moving forward in the face of ongoing obstruction by IRS officials to ensure accountability and the eventual implementation of reforms to prevent this from ever happening again," he said. "I know there are sometimes different opinions about how to proceed, but we share a commitment to get to the bottom of how and why this happened, and who was responsible."
And the chairman has defenders.
( Also on POLITICO: Dems demand end to Benghazi probe)
"Issa has a difficult job, and he is inclusive of other Republicans on the committee, so to the extent that people perceive missteps, there should be culpability assigned to all of us," said Rep. Trey Gowdy, a panel Republican from South Carolina.
Republicans had hoped Issa would be the attack dog that took down Barack Obama, but his handling of the IRS scandal is a reminder of how he has sometimes gone a step too far, undercutting Republicans' longer-term goals with his combative style. The IRS matter should be a winning issue for Republicans as they head into the midterm elections.
Issa's probes of Benghazi and "Fast and Furious" had more smoke than fire as well.
The most recent GOP frustrations center on a pair of Oversight hiccups, including the image of Issa dragging his finger across his throat to signal to his staff to shut off Cummings's mic to keep him from speaking at a hearing earlier this month.
( QUIZ: How well do you know Darrell Issa?)
Leadership was so irked that it delayed a vote to hold Lerner in contempt, until hype over the incident settled down.
That hearing was supposed to focus on Lerner, who in emails expressed concerns about how the Supreme Court's Citizens United case would affect the political activities of conservative groups like American Crossroads and the Koch brothers' groups.
But there's a lesser-known detail: Lerner's lawyer offered to let her testify before the committee without immunity — but the Oversight panel lost its chance.

Contributed by Debbie Clason, staff writer for Healthy Hearing | Thursday, September 6th, 2012
One in three people over the age of 60 have hearing loss, making it one of the most common conditions affecting older adults. Although most adults wait an average of 5-15 years before seeking help for their hearing loss, there are compelling reasons you shouldn't. The sooner you get help for your hearing impairment, the easier it will be for your brain to use the auditory pathways it's developed for processing sound.
The same is true for children with untreated hearing loss. Research tell us that babies whose hearing impairment is detected and treated by the time they are six months old are more likely to learn essential speech and language skills than children whose hearing impairment goes undetected.
Socially, children and adults with untreated hearing loss are at risk for developing challenges with:
- Communication. Adults with hearing loss have difficulty participating in conversations at work, home and in social situations. Children with hearing loss – especially those younger than six months — have difficulty learning important language skills that normal hearing children learn by listening to language spoken by family members.
- Isolation. Adults typically distance themselves from family and friends because it's too difficult to hear and participate in the conversation. Children are often isolated from their peers or become withdrawn because they have difficulty communicating or are embarrassed by their hearing handicap.
- Income. According to a study by the Better Hearing Institute, untreated hearing loss affects productivity, performance and career success, resulting in as much as a $30,000 loss in annual income.
- Family relationships. Children with hearing loss often have trouble articulating their feelings, which makes communication frustrating for family members. Adults may feel they aren't being heard and become isolated and depressed. Family members who have loved ones with untreated hearing loss say they sometimes experience feelings of frustration, annoyance and sadness.
The psychological effects of untreated hearing loss for both children and adults can include increased outbursts of anger, low self-confidence, frustration, embarrassment and depression. Adults may experience periods of sadness and grieving as their ability to hear diminishes. They also may feel more fatigued, as the struggle to hear and understand can be physically exhausting.
Fortunately, most of these issues are resolved once the hearing impairment is treated effectively. Hearing health professionals say that children whose hearing impairment is detected and treated early can develop speech and language skills at the same level as their normal hearing peers, which positively affects self-esteem, social interaction with peers and academic success.
Adults have similar success. A recent study found that 73 percent of individuals with hearing loss, and 41 percent of their relatives, believed their family relationships improved once they started wearing hearing aids.

Vail founder's grandson dies in East Vail Chutes backcountry avalanche
VAIL — An avalanche in the East Vail Chutes has left the 24-year-old grandson of Vail's founder dead.
Tony Seibert, of Vail, died in the slide, which occurred shortly after 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, according to Eagle County Coroner Kara Bettis. Seibert is the grandson of Vail founder Pete Seibert.
Three other skiers were injured in the avalanche and have been released from the hospital, according to the Eagle County Sheriff's Office.
Bettis said the cause of death will be determined after an autopsy Wednesday.
The East Vail Chutes is an out-of-bounds area accessible through a gate from the lift-served area of Vail Mountain. It is popular with backcountry skiers but has been the site of numerous avalanche fatalities over the years.
The avalanche danger in the area is rated as considerable.
Experts say slides there are becoming harder to trigger but when slides develop they are very large and dangerous.
"One of the problems we're dealing with over the last two days is windloading," said Spencer Logan with the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. "We've had a few small storms accompanied by very strong winds and that drift the snow into slabs 2 to 4 feet thick. Those are on top of the snowpack, and on the bottom of the snowpack we have a really weak foundation, we have early-season snow that sat on the ground, and it gets really weak in cold weather, and then we've had some pretty good snowfall in December that's covered that."
Logan said the Colorado Avalanche Information Center has a team of forecasters heading out to the site of today's slide on Wednesday to gather facts and information about the incident.
Five people have died in avalanches in Colorado, Wyoming and Montana in the last two weeks.

The next time you fly, you may not need to bother to print out your boarding pass.
The Transportation Security Administration is working with some domestic airlines to test paperless boarding passes, which allow air travelers to download the document onto a cell phone or other mobile device.
"We're becoming a much more digital society," said David Staas of JiWire, a mobile media channel that works with many airports. "So using smartphones for paperless boarding just completes the circle."
But don't disconnect your printer just yet. While some tech-savvy passengers may be ready for it, experts say paperless boarding won't be successful until it is both reliable and universal.
"One of the first times I used one, my phone browser refreshed and I lost the boarding pass 30 seconds before boarding," recalled Walter Hopgood, a frequent business traveler from Damacas, Ore.

Many air travelers are already comfortable checking in for flights via computer and printing boarding passes at work, home or in an airport kiosk. Paperless boarding passes, the TSA believes, would help streamline the journey from security to the jet bridge while improving the agency's ability to detect fraud.
Path to paperless
Paperless boarding has been an option for travelers flying on some Asian, European and Canadian airlines since 2007, but the United States has been behind the curve on adopting the new technology.
"We were slower to get Internet access on cell phones, slower to get affordable data plans on cell phones and slower than Europeans to start using cell phones for accessing data," said Henry Harteveldt, a travel industry analyst for Forrester Research. "The new generation of smartphones is changing that."
iPhone's mTrip app uses augmented reality
The delay also had a lot to do with TSA, said Catherine Mayer, vice president of airport services at SITA, an information technology company serving the aviation industry. "The agency had additional security requirements it wanted airlines to meet before it would allow paperless boarding to be introduced here."

Continental Airlines was the first airline to develop software that could encrypt a mobile pass that met TSA's authentication standards. In December 2007, passengers at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport became the first U.S. travelers to kick off the TSA's pilot program for paperless boarding. Since then, the program has expanded to include five U.S. airlines (Alaska, American, Continental, Delta and United), 71 domestic airports and Frankfurt Airport in Germany.
Now, passengers on participating airlines traveling to or through approved airports can receive a boarding pass as an e-mail containing a two-dimensional bar code downloadable to a smartphone or other mobile device. That bar code, along with identification, should be all that's needed to get through security and onto a plane.Story: More travelers turning to smartphones
Win-win, despite the wrinkles?
While electronic boarding passes do save paper and enhance airport security, the pilot program is not glitch-free.

Some passengers have encountered scanners with spent batteries or security-checkpoint staffers untrained or uninterested in the mobile pass pilot program. For example, when Justin Meyer of Kansas City showed up at 5 a.m. at a Fort Lauderdale, Fla., security checkpoint armed with his electronic boarding pass, a TSA employee pressed him for paper. "I didn't have it," Meyer recalled, "so I had to wait about 10 minutes while they found the scanner and plugged it in."
Other travelers have stored a paperless pass on a smartphone that has lost its charge. Or they've sailed through the TSA checkpoint paper-free, only to discover that an airline is using a gate without a scanner. Or they've discovered some airlines only deliver one paperless pass per smartphone — a problem if you're traveling with a family of four.
"Like any new technology or service, there needs to be a transition period when everyone is learning the way to proceed," said Steve Lott of International Air Transport Association, an industry trade group.
One of the biggest frustrations passengers have with the program is that it is only offered by some airlines and at some airports.
"Feedback from passengers has been not so much about reliability, but about consistency and the desire to have the product offered at all airports that we serve," said Jared Miller, Continental's managing director of Self-Service and Emerging Technology.Video: Continental tests turnstile self check-in (on this page)
Other airlines in the pilot program report the same response from customers. "And therein lies the challenge," added Forrester's Hartveldt. "Customers are becoming increasingly comfortable with all this. But to be successful, mobile-compatible boarding passes for domestic travel have to be ubiquitous."
That's what TSA has in mind, said Justin Taubman, the program manager for TSA's mobile boarding pass program. The agency is currently working with vendors to develop equipment for a new boarding pass scanning system. "Once the new Credential Authenticating Boarding Pass Scanning System, or CAT/BPSS, is in place," he said, "the pilot project will become an official TSA program."

There has been one key brand conspicuously absent from the 3D projection list, though: Epson. The Japanese brand announced a range of 3D projectors at the IFA show in Berlin in September, and promised they'd hit our shores in November. But in what's become typical Epson fashion, this deadline came and went, and it was starting to look as if Epson's 3D models wouldn't make a 2011 launch at all.
Just as we were about to down tools for the festive season, though, we finally received an Epson TW9000W. So over the Christmas break, while we quaffed and scoffed we set to watching a few movies on this new flagship 3D model.
The first thing to say about the TW9000W is that it's a really nice looking bit of kit. It boldy blends a textured white finish with black grilles and lens mounting that sit right across its front. Its sculpting is pleasant too, with curves on the corners and a pleasing sense of symmetry thanks to the centrally mounted lens.
It's also a very large unit for something which, at £2,649.60, sits at the relatively affordable end of the market (though obviously the ballpark has shifted in this respect since the launch of the £1,249 Optoma ThemeScene HD33). This size is actually only to be expected with a 'serious' 3D projector, given the need for such projectors to produce more brightness while also keeping a lid on running noise.
The TW9000W delivers a claimed maximum brightness output of 2,400 lumens – a figure which is 20% higher than the figure quoted for the Panasonic AT5000E, and nearly double the figure quoted for Sony's HW30ES. Despite the fact that both these rival 3D projectors cost more than the TW9000W.
Its striking max brightness figure isn't the only number game the TW9000W plays unexpectedly well, either. For despite its extreme brightness it also claims a mighty contrast ratio of 200,000:1.
Furthermore, to boost its 3D credentials it manages a 480Hz drive rate for 3D playback, to tackle the thorny problem of crosstalk ghosting. This high drive rate is a potentially very important feature, especially considering that LCD has, to date, struggled more with crosstalk noise than the faster-responding DLP technology.
Further underlining the seriousness with which the TW9000W takes its 3D duties is the fact that it ships with two pairs of active shutter glasses free. We were also pleased to find the projector supporting two different 3D colour modes.
We thought for a minute, too, that the TW9000W's 3D pictures might benefit from its provision of a frame interpolation system. However, as with most 3D displays, the frame interpolation processing is actually deactivated for 3D playback – presumably because of the heavy-duty processing power required. Obviously, though, we'll be looking later at how the TW9000W's frame interpolation system works with 2D. Please note, too, that the frame interpolation system isn't found in any other model in Epson's new 3D range bar the TW9000.
And no, we didn't put the wrong model number there by mistake. For Epson really does have both a TW9000W and a TW9000, the differences being that the TW9000W is white and ships with a WirelessHD transmission system while the TW9000 is black and doesn't support wireless video transmission.

THINKING, FAST AND SLOW. Daniel Kahneman. x + 499 pp. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011. $30.
Did you know that highly intelligent women tend to marry men who are less intelligent than they are? This fact may appear to be a fascinating piece of information that reveals something about the socialization of women in our society, but it is actually a necessary consequence of statistics; it must be true. As long as the correlation between the intelligence scores of spouses is less than perfect, then if you have a very high IQ score, your partner is more likely than not to have a lower one, because most people have a lower one. No alternative explanation is needed.
Daniel Kahneman's new book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, isn't about marriage, IQ or the battle of the sexes. It's about the battle that goes on inside us between a self that reacts quickly and automatically to fascinating facts, angry faces, tempting food and simple problems (what is 5 + 4?) versus a self that thinks more slowly, effortfully, and deliberately, explains facts by appealing to such things as the implications of random variation, tells us why people are angry and why we should resist temptation, and solves complex problems (what is 287+736?). These two selves make it possible for us to come to conclusions quickly when the need arises (should I hit the brakes or the accelerator?) and to slowly think through difficult decisions when many competing considerations must be weighed (should I buy an SUV or a minivan?).
For psychologists who want to understand how the mind works, slow thinking tends to be easier to explain. People generally have some insight into their slow thought processes. They can to some extent introspect and articulate what they were thinking.
We are less conscious of what goes on under the hood when we are thinking fast. What is the process you used to conclude that 5+4=9? It must have something to do with memory, but presumably you didn't appeal to any specific memory. You recognized an abstract pattern and completed it. Psychologists have only vague ideas about how we represent such abstract patterns and reason about them so quickly and effectively. We do know that the mind brings a lot to the table. The conclusions we come to with such speed and automaticity meet our needs the vast majority of the time, yet they are not consistently optimal. The mind produces systematic errors. One reason for this is that fast thinking is shaped not only by the world being thought about, but also by the way the mind goes about its business.
The focus of Kahneman's book is characterization of this process of rapid thought. In a masterly fashion he has woven several strands of insight into a finely detailed tapestry. Much of what he reports is an updated version of the work he did with Amos Tversky in the 1970s and 1980s—work that constitutes one of the great intellectual achievements of the 20th century—and the work for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2002. The names Kahneman and Tversky are almost synonymous with the study of judgment and decision making—the study of how human psychology operates under conditions of uncertainty and the biases that result, biases that cause us to get less of what we want, be it love, money, health or merely accuracy. Their work is important because of what it teaches us about how the mind works and also because it offers numerous hints about how we can do better, both as individuals and as a society. It challenges the idea, pervasive in economics, that people have consistent preferences that guide their choices. Rather, Kahneman says, "inconsistency is built into the design of our minds," as every clinical psychologist already knows.
Kahneman refers to the two selves simply as System 1 and System 2. This is unfortunate, as there are perfectly good English words to describe the mental systems he's trying to characterize: intuition (fast thinking) and deliberation (slow thinking), for instance. This is not his only odd choice of labels. He calls one of his primary principles of intuition WYSIATI (What You See Is All There Is). Although the acronym is not mellifluous, the underlying concept—that we humans have a tendency to focus only on what is staring us in the face—is important. One implication is that we jump to conclusions on the basis of limited evidence. Other consequences of this tendency of ours are more subtle. For instance, you can have a profound effect on how people rate their overall happiness simply by first asking them, "How many dates did you have last month?" People will attend to the quality of their dating life (good, bad or indifferent) and use it as a basis for evaluating their well-being in general. Similarly, data show that, contrary to what Midwesterners and Californians believe, people in California are not in fact any happier than people in the Midwest. Kahneman attributes this to our tendency to answer questions with whatever happens to be in our minds. When asked whether Californians are happier, people (even Californians) think about sunshine and celebrities. But actual life in California is much like life elsewhere—filled with daily commutes, office parties and too much time spent watching TV. And it's actual life that determines happiness, not the image that happens to come to mind when answering a question.
Another consequence of WYSIATI is that we evaluate events that actually happened without considering alternatives. In the face of evidence, we are more concerned with how good a story we can tell about it than we are with coming up with alternative accounts to explain it, remembering other events that contradict it, or thinking about how things might have been otherwise. Ask any good lawyer or politician stumping for votes. Wrapping events into a good story that supports one's case is far more persuasive than poking holes in somebody else's story or making a fair and balanced argument. Governments are evaluated by the actual state of the economy, not by how good or bad the economy would have been if some other policy had been in place.
Most of the territory the book covers is well trodden. But for the uninitiated, the book is a treasure trove of insights about the human condition. Kahneman goes well beyond discussing the primacy of intuition and how we make sense of events using causal stories. He explains that intuition is governed by a normality principle: Thought and perception are always interpreting what is in the focus of attention relative to a background that reflects what we consider to be normal. Feelings of surprise, guilt and blame all depend on how normal an action or event is. Kahneman uses this idea to explain why most people see nothing amiss with the following question: "How many animals of each kind did Moses take into the ark?" Of course, Moses didn't take any animals into the ark; Noah did. Yet Moses fits into the biblical context—he seems normal there—and so most people fail to register the discordance. As Kahneman points out, if Moses were replaced in the question by George W. Bush, everyone would notice.
Kahneman and Tversky's work changed the face of social and cognitive psychology and had a massive influence in economics and other social-science disciplines. Their work served as perhaps the most central intellectual antecedent of libertarian paternalism, the philosophy espoused by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein in their 2008 book, Nudge. Libertarian paternalism is the view that, because the way options are presented to citizens affects what they choose, society should present options in a way that "nudges" our intuitive selves to make choices that are more consistent with what our more deliberative selves would have chosen if they were in control.
Kahneman has kept abreast of developments in social psychology, economics and social policy. His discussion of cognition is less up-to-date, however, and even a little confusing. For instance, he makes it clear that he considers the two systems of thought to be a fiction, useful for didactic purposes only. This seems to undermine the book's foundation and makes it hard to know what he is really saying about the architecture of the mind.
Kahneman and Tversky practiced what Kahneman here preaches. They made sound arguments, but they also knew how to tell a good story fluently and succinctly, in an engaging, punchy style. Thinking, Fast and Slow is not as succinct, but it is certainly fluent. It is chock-full of fascinating and provocative examples that reveal aspects of ourselves that we knew at some level existed but had not fully appreciated. The book appeals not only to our deliberative selves, but to our intuitive selves as well.

Every day after work I go down to my mom's house since it is only four houses away and drop off some newspapers. Most of the time she is there, but when I went down recently she wasn't. I let myself in because I still have a house key. I am reluctant to give it back, mostly because I sneak down often to steal an egg or two out of her fridge when I run out, but let's just keep that between you and me.
Usually when I am at my parents' house and nobody is there I feel strange (unless egg-stealing is going on). My mom is practically home all the time. I always half expect to come across her dead body on days when she does not answer the door.
Now that might sound crazy to you, but when I unlocked the front door and entered her living room the other day I came across a dead body.
It wasn't so much of a "somebody" as it was a "some-birdie."
There were a slew of feathers spread out across the floor of my childhood home, and others still floated in the air. I quickly deduced that I had walked into the aftermath of a bird massacre.
I have lost track of how many cats my mother has. But in the living room four of her felines had perched themselves up high and were licking their paws. With the taste of fresh blood on their lips they sized me up in a situation not dissimilar to Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds."
In terms of the strangest things I have ever found in my parents' house I would definitely rank finding an eviscerated bird somewhere between 47th and 53rd.
Later in the evening I called my mother. I just felt it was the right thing to do after discovering a mutilated bird on her ornamental rug.
The story she relayed to me was unbelievable.
Apparently my mother was minding her own business in the kitchen and running 15 minutes late as usual when she heard a familiar thud on the window. Having previous knowledge of that unfortunate sound — another bird has senselessly flown into the window, kamikaze-style — my mother rushed outside to render first aid on the bird, but alas, found the feathered creature lifeless.
Most people would leave the story at that. We see a dead bird and say, "There's a dead bird," walk away, and go back about our business, but not my bird-brained mother.
My mother took the freshly-dead bird carcass inside because she thought her army of cats would want to smell it since they are all exclusively indoor animals.
Now running 20 minutes late, my mother was consumed by cats as she walked in through the door. That's when her enormous alpha male cat, aptly named Papa, seized the dead bird and ran off under the couch to enjoy the spoils of war. My mother said she chased after him, and so did the other cats, but it was to no avail.
Running late even by her own standards, my mom left the house and the cats to do their bidding. A short time later I entered her home, and this explains the brutal murder scene that I had stumbled into hours earlier.
I can't for the life of me understand why she brought a dead animal into her home. I have cats, too, and I am sure they are curious to smell a lot of things. But that doesn't mean I am willing to scrape some raccoon road kill off the pavement and bring it home with me.
I guess my mother's cats ate everything, even the bird bones. I asked about the skull. My mother told me her felines licked it clean, and that her cats were knocking it around on the floor like a cat toy.
Yeah, the skull is still in the house — and has been for days now!
I am not exactly sure my mother should be bringing sacrificial offerings into the house for her horde of house cats to consume. The fact that she did it once is all the evidence I need to say that this time my mother has flown the coop.

4 How beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh, how beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from the hills of Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle
that browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling;
there is no flaw in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon,
from the lions' dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
with choice fruits,
with henna and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh and aloes
and all the finest spices.
15 You are[b] a garden fountain,
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.
16 Awake, north wind,
and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
and taste its choice fruits.
5 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Eat, friends, and drink;
drink your fill of love.
2 I slept but my heart was awake.
Listen! My beloved is knocking:
"Open to me, my sister, my darling,
my dove, my flawless one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night."
3 I have taken off my robe—
must I put it on again?
I have washed my feet—
must I soil them again?
4 My beloved thrust his hand through the latch-opening;
my heart began to pound for him.
5 I arose to open for my beloved,
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
my fingers with flowing myrrh,
on the handles of the bolt.
6 I opened for my beloved,
but my beloved had left; he was gone.
My heart sank at his departure.[c]
I looked for him but did not find him.
I called him but he did not answer.
7 The watchmen found me
as they made their rounds in the city.
They beat me, they bruised me;
they took away my cloak,
those watchmen of the walls!
8 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—
if you find my beloved,
what will you tell him?
Tell him I am faint with love.
9 How is your beloved better than others,
most beautiful of women?
How is your beloved better than others,
that you so charge us?
10 My beloved is radiant and ruddy,
outstanding among ten thousand.
11 His head is purest gold;
his hair is wavy
and black as a raven.
12 His eyes are like doves
by the water streams,
washed in milk,
mounted like jewels.
13 His cheeks are like beds of spice
yielding perfume.
His lips are like lilies
dripping with myrrh.
14 His arms are rods of gold
set with topaz.
His body is like polished ivory
decorated with lapis lazuli.
15 His legs are pillars of marble
set on bases of pure gold.
His appearance is like Lebanon,
choice as its cedars.
16 His mouth is sweetness itself;
he is altogether lovely.
This is my beloved, this is my friend,
daughters of Jerusalem.
3 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified. 2 I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? After beginning by means of the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by means of the flesh?[a] 4 Have you experienced[b] so much in vain—if it really was in vain? 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard? 6 So also Abraham "believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."[c]
7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you."[d] 9 So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law."[e] 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because "the righteous will live by faith."[f] 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, "The person who does these things will live by them."[g] 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole."[h] 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
15 Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say "and to seeds," meaning many people, but "and to your seed,"[i] meaning one person, who is Christ. 17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. 20 A mediator, however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. 22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
23 Before the coming of this faith,[j] we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. 25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

(No difference)
Revision as of 17:58, 7 June 2010
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is the process used to resolve disputes outside of court with negotiation and mediation. The California Department of Consumer Affairs oversees numerous programs in counties that partcipate in dispute resolution programs. ADR allows the disputing parties to arrive at their own solution or reach consensus on the conflict. If arbitration is the choice of resolution, a third party renders a decision, which both parties agree to accept.
The two types of ADR are:
1) The "consensual process" which allows the disputing parties to decide on a solution to the conflict.
2) The "adjudicatory process" involves a third party who renders a decision, which is binding upon both parties involved in the dispute.
- Resolutions through ADR are usually inexpensive and charges may be based on a sliding scale based on income.

- Some governmental agencies now require ADR for prompt resolution of disputes.

- Many small claims courts now require litigants to mediate prior to a hearing.

Hello everyone!
My name is Glenn Harmon, and I am currently residing in the United States of America, specifically Los Angeles, California. When time and finances permit, I plan on moving out to a destination yet to be determined. At the time of this writing, I am 21 years old.
I have an established IQ of 136 and I can pick up many skills rapidly, with little introduction. My native language is English but I am fluent in Spanish, French, and German. I am a graduate of North Torrance High School, and am currently enrolled full-time at El Camino Community College to pursue an Associate's Degree in the field of Administration of Justice, with a minor in Language Studies. Academia is a good thing, but I believe life should not be spent buried in textbooks.
My hobbies include reading, writing, gaming, working on my 1996 Chrysler Cirrus LX sedan, and owning and shooting firearms of all flavors. I recently renewed my membership in the National Rifle Association of America for another five years, and intend to become a Life Member very soon. I believe firearms are invaluable tools that have many varied uses, and are to be understood and respected, rather than the commonly-held misnomer of menacing machines of malice that are made only for wholesale slaughter and serve no tangible purpose to the common man. Being stereotyped as the quintessential American gun nut is also very insulting and degrading, in my personal opinion, perhaps akin to a verbal slap across the face. However, I am very eager to offer advice and information to any person who wishes to learn more about any general firearms subject, so don't hesitate to send me a correspondence if you have any gun questions.
My first real experience with the Grand Theft Auto series of games started with Grand Theft Auto 2, and turned into a full appreciation with Grand Theft Auto III onwards. I was amazed at the gameplay of the series, the concept of a virtual sandbox to just amble about and create mayhem with no repercussion is, in a word, cathartic. The amount of pedestrians, graphic detail, vehicles, weaponry, and the well-scripted story all kept me fascinated enough to purchase every game onwards to the current iteration, Grand Theft Auto IV. However, I have not played Liberty City Stories or Vice City Stories and cannot speak for them.
Among the GTA series, I also enjoy such games as the Gran Turismo series, the Max Payne series, the Half-Life series and all iterations thereof, Armed Assault, The Battlefield 1942 series, including Battlefield: Vietnam and Battlefield 2, the Soldier of Fortune series, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series, most notably Raven Shield, Rainbow Six: Vegas, and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.
I first stumbled upon the Grand Theft Wiki while searching for references to the Sabre GT, my all-time favorite vehicle in the series. I started by uploading some screenshots to add to the page, and the rest, as the saying goes, is history. Hopefully I can be a regular contributor and offer some useful information for any other fans of the series.
If you wish to learn more, you may visit my social networking profile, the firearms bulletin board I help moderate, or send me an electronic correspondence.

Parting Words
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." -Thomas Jefferson
"... I simply cannot stand by and watch a right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States come under attack from those who either can't understand it, don't like the sound of it, or find themselves too philosophically squeamish to see why it remains the first among equals: Because it is the right we turn to when all else fails. That's why the Second Amendment is America's first freedom. ..." -Charlton Heston
"Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive." -Theodore Roosevelt
"To prejudge other men's notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eyes." -John Locke

FRIDAY, Feb. 1, 2013 (HealthDay) — About 2.3 million units of Triaminic and Theraflu cold and cough syrups have been recalled by Novartis Consumer Health Inc. due to potential problems with the child-resistant caps.
Some of the caps may be faulty and a child can remove them even with the tamper-evident plastic seal still in place, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The agency said there have been four cases of children opening the caps and accidentally consuming the medication. One of the children required medical attention. Eight other children were able to open the caps but did not consume the syrup, ABC News reported.
The recall includes six kinds of Theraflu Warming Relief syrups and 18 kinds of Triaminic syrups.
The syrups contain acetaminophen, which can cause liver injury or liver failure if consumed in large amounts, Henry Spiller, a toxicologist and director of the Central Ohio Poison Center, told ABC News. Some of the syrups also contain the antihistamine diphenhydramine, which can cause seizures or heart rhythm problems after an overdose.

Google to Launch Chrome, an Open Source Web Browser
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Google, Internet,
Google announced today that it is launching its new beta browser, named Chrome. Available in more than 100 countries supposedly tomorrow, so far it is only for those with Microsoft Windows. (The company says it is still working on the Mac and Linux versions.) Google's official blog almost apologized for their comic that discussed the joys of their new browser, saying that they tend to "launch early and iterate" and that the mailroom was a bit hasty letting it out. Be that as it may, it took us long enough to get used to Firefox, so we think we will let the hardcores try it first.

London Gets Crime-Mapping Website
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet,
The Metropolitan Police in London have created a computer crime-mapping beta website. With it, users can find local cops, report a crime, and learn about crime prevention, victim support, and details of their local baddies. The Google mapping system also allows for detailed information on number, rate, and other crime figures by zeroing in on specific neighborhoods with a postal code search. While this sounds all well and good on
sight, pity those who find out that their own neighborhood is a red zone.

YouTube to Stream Olympics
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Home Entertainment, Internet,
In an agreement with the International Olympic Committee, YouTube will be streaming 3 hours of recorded Olympic coverage per day. Countries like the U.S. and UK will be blocked since they will be receiving it on BBC and NBC. About 77 territories will have access to highlight reels and wrap-ups, but they will not be showing live events. Director of television and marketing for the IOC Timo Lumme claims that "for the first time in Olympic history we will have complete global online coverage."

Cuil Search Engine, Better Than Google?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Google, Internet,
Former Google employee Anna Patterson's search engine is alive. Cuil (pronounced "cool") was released this week and supposedly can search 120 billion Web pages. She says that it is at least 3 times the size of Google, although that company says that they scan 1 trillion. Whoever is right, we like the idea of a search engine that uses actual content rather than ranking quantity and quality of links, as well as one that will not retain our histories or patterns. We gave it a test drive and think that Cuil is indeed very kewl.

Google Launches Lively
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Google, Internet, Video Games, Videos,
Google has finally launched Lively to try to lure some of those Second Lifers away. The site utilizes avatars and 3D graphics like the other virtual game, and meeting rooms for characters. After the download, you can also display YouTube videos on virtual TVs and show photos in virtual frames. Engineering Manager Niniane Wang wants subscribers to create their rooms in their own interests.
"If you enter a Lively room embedded on your favorite blog or website, you can immediately get a sense of the room creator's interests, just by looking at the furniture and environment they chose."
Note that you have to have Windows Vista/XP with Internet Explorer or Firefox to subscribe. We can't anticipate its success but we did notice that the demo on YouTube already has received over half a million hits.

Willcom 9 Cell Phone Googles
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smartphones, Google,
This is the Willcom 9, a new cell phone that is smaller than a business card. Designed to look like a book, it measures 43 x 80.4 x 19.4mm and utilizes Google for search and Gmail. It also features a 2-inch screen with a 320 x 240 resolution with 262,144 colors, a 1.3 megapixel cam, and can hold 24MB memory. We figure people who are really into texting had better have some tiny fingers to work the little bugger.

John McCain Googles for VP Candidate
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Google, Internet,
Republican Presidential Candidate John McCain, seen here in a recent trip to a pig roast in Michigan, recently joked around that Googling made his VP search simpler.
"You know, basically it's a Google," he said at a fund-raising luncheon. "What you can find out now on the Internet—it's remarkable."
It seems like the senior senator has finally caught on to the Net. Fortunately for Barack Obama, back in October he had the smarts to hire Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes to head up his online campaign.

Tesla PL Roadster Arrives
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Google, Transportation,
The Tesla PL has finally arrived. The electric motor driven roadster's store will be open next week in the Westwood neighborhood of LA. Another store will be open in Silicon Valley, where the car was developed with the assistance of Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Chicago, New York and other cities can expect dealerships next year. California Gov Arnie, George Clooney, and Will.i.am have already ordered one. Although we applaud the green sentiment, we can think of better ways to dispense with a spare $100,000.

Do Google Maps Invade Privacy?
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Editorial, Google, Transportation,
A Pennsylvania couple is suing Google for invasion of privacy and mental distress. Aaron and Christine Boring claim that the reason they bought their property in the first place was because it was isolated and now it has been devalued. It seems that Google may have taken a street view shot from their driveway that was marked "Private Road."
Google spokesperson Larry Yu claims that if the pair wanted the images removed, all they had to do was ask. Attorney Dennis Moskal said that their privacy was already hampered when the vehicle that took the shots drove on their property. It will be interesting to see if this has ramifications down the road. While Google maps increase in imaging technique, Big Brother surely gets closer every day.
