- Felony case against CU-Boulder student accused of killing raccoon goes to district court
Boulder police arrested a 19-year-old University of Colorado student Wednesday after he told police he killed a raccoon with a bat so he "could take its hide."
According to a police report, officers were called to a home in the 2800 block of Springdale Lane around 5:25 p.m. on a report of a person killing raccoons.
When officers arrived, they found a baseball bat covered in blood on the front porch of the house, along with a raccoon skin covered in salt. The porch was covered in what appeared to be dried blood, according to the report.
Police then spoke to Jace Robert Griffiths, who said he lived at the house and killed the raccoon, according to the report. In a written statement, Griffiths said the raccoon came out of a Dumpster and was walking toward him and a friend.
"We could have walked away, but I decided to go up and kill it so that I could take its hide," Griffiths wrote in the statement. "I immediately regretted hitting it, but, rather than throwing it out, I took the hide and threw the remains in the bottom Dumpster."
Griffiths also told officers he found a dead raccoon in the same spot in August and took that raccoon's hide as well. Griffiths did not say in the statement what he planned to do with the raccoon hides.
Griffiths was arrested on suspicion of aggravated animal cruelty and later released on bond from the Boulder County Jail.
He did not return a call for comment Thursday.
CU's online directory lists Griffiths as a finance major.

"When the going gets tough…the tough gets going" With the start of the top-eight performance night, Team Usher and Shakira each have one contestant keeping them in the competition, while Team Adam and Blake have 3 competitors each. It's time for some other coaches to leave, simply because we just aren't ready to see Usher leave The Voice. Kicking off the Memorial Day show, "rarely sober" coach Blake Shelton performed his new single, "Boys Round Here".
Team Adam: Judith Hill, "#ThatPower," by Will. I. Am, featuring Justin Bieber.
Bringing it with the night's first performance, Team Adam's veteran musician Judith Hill switched her sound and showed true personality with her performance of Will. I. Am and Justin Bieber's hit "#ThatPower." Complete with extremely big hair and an outfit straight out of a Cee-Lo video, Judith wowed not only the audience, but the coaches. Blake and Shakira both felt the performance was a great way to showcase her personality, coach Usher felt it was an incredible way to kick off the show, and Judith's coach Adam just loved that it was a "real performance."
Team Blake: Holly Tucker, "Done," by The Band Perry
Holly, everyone is dying to know where you got those blinged-out cowboy boots?
Team Blake's Holly Tucker took a more edgy route, performing The Band Perry's hit, "Done." Showcasing Not only her awesome fashion sense, the song demonstrated Holly's ability to reach her vocal range and perform a more up-tempo song. The audience weren't the only ones impressed with the performance; coach Usher felt she did an incredible job (I'm sure there should have been some kind of The Voice drinking game counting how many times each coach said the word incredible last night). Coach Shakira couldn't get enough of Holly's bling boots and sassiness, and coach Blake felt his teammate owned the song.
Taking a break from the top 8 performances, Carson referred to Usher as "coach Urkele" and Usher responded by calling host Carson Daly Jimmy Neutron. (It's all in the hair. Carson.) After the jokes stopped, Judith Hill, Michelle Chamuel, Sasha Allen and Sarah Simmons performed Rihanna's hit "Diamonds."
Team Blake: The Swon Brothers, "7 bridges Road," by The Eagles
Complete with a real fire and a Memorial Day-themed stage set-up, it was time for the only man and boy in the competition to perform. The Swon Brothers took on a classic from another family band, The Eagles. Zack, Colton and their fire pit performed "7 Bridges Road" in what was one of the night's slower performances. Coach Usher felt the Eagles would be happy, coach Adam -- of course -- felt everything was amazing (aside from minor details) and the duo's coach Blake, aside from complimenting Zack's salmon color shirt, felt the boys were just talented.
Team Shakira: Sasha Allen, "Without You" by David Guetta and Usher
Every performance is a challenge, I'm sure, but I can imagine how much of a challenge it actually is to perform a song written and performed by one of the coaches. Sasha Allen had the daunting task of performing David Guetta and Usher's hit, "Without You." Sasha took the emotions from missing her children and fiancé and used her boisterous voice to captivate the audience during her performance. Of course, her former coach Adam felt the moment was bittersweet (Yup, he's still kicking himself) and her coach Shakira felt as though she was the whole package. An obviously biased coach Usher felt that Sasha did everyone involved in making the song proud. (Sasha, you can breathe that sign of relief now.)
Team Adam: Sarah Simmons "Somebody That I Used to Know," by Gotye
"Feel the words" were Coach Adam's words to Sarah Simmons as she prepared to take on the Gotye hit, "Somebody That I Used to Know." Of course, as she sang, the whole audience sang, and we sang along at home (How could you not? That song is one of this decades biggest hit's), making Sarah's performance one of the more exciting. Th dynamics of her voice didn't hurt, either. Coach Blake commented on her ability to be three different singers in one performance, coach Usher called it a performance of a different texture and coach Adam expressed how it is just impossible not to love her.
Danielle Bradbery, Holly Tucker, Amber Carrington and The Swon Brothers all took the stage for a group performance of Sugarland's "Something More."
Team Usher: Michelle Chamuel, "Grenade," by Bruno Mars
Michelle Chamuel, I don't know about you, but if Usher told me that he would catch a grenade for me…that would be all the motivation I needed to dominate the competition. With that in mind, it was time for the leader of #TeamChamuel to take the stage and perform the Bruno Mars hit, "Grenade." Slowing down the song's original arrangement and once again taking a song and owning it, Michelle Chamuel wowed the judges. Coach Blake couldn't get past her mirrors and voice, Coach Adam was taken by how dynamic she was. Coach Usher, sporting the "Chamuel glasses," felt the performance represented everything we love about life.
Team Blake: Danielle Bradbery, "Grandpa," by The Judds
Each week she performs, we have to remind ourselves that Danielle Bradbery has not been performing for years, and that she is indeed the youngest person in the competition. Team Blake's Danielle Bradbery performed The Judd's "Grandpa." While the performance was one of the night's slower points, the coaches were in awe of the talent possessed by the 16-year-old competitor. Coach Usher felt her shoes were a performance of their own and called her a prodigy (wow), coach Adam referred to her as an important country artist and coach Blake felt Danielle did the song beyond justice.
Team Adam: Amber Carrington, "Skyfall," by Adele
In the last performance of the night, Team Adam's Amber Carrington performed Adele's Grammy Award-winning "Skyfall." Amber took the stage alongside full band and orchestra and re-created the hit, showcasing her larger than-life-voice and stage presence. Coach Usher felt the performance was incredible. Coach Shakira, who is normally critical of those who perform Adele, felt Amber did the song justice. Coach Adam called her popular in every country and admired her for being the first person in the history of The Voice to nail an Adele song.
While it would have been fun to see more up-beat performances, the top 8 are relying again on you, America, to keep them in the competition. Remember: Teams Usher and Shakira are in jeopardy of going home, while Team Blake and Team Adam are in jeopardy of winning it all again. The decision is up to you…Vote wisely!

European Commission - Press release
€ 113 million for the 2012 most deprived persons programme
Brussels, 20 June 2011 - The total value of funds for the 2012 programme for the supply of food for the most deprived persons in the European Union has been set at €113 million, with the precise allocations fixed per Member State [see annexes]. This is a sharp reduction from the near € 500 million awarded in recent years because of a ruling by the Court of Justice in April stating that the current regulation requires the food covered by this scheme to come from EU public stocks. Therefore, the 2012 scheme is exclusively based on all the available existing intervention stocks (162 000 tonnes of cereals and 54 000 tonnes of Skimmed Milk Powder in intervention).
The Commission foresaw this potential problem and first proposed to change the scheme in 2008. Despite support from the European Parliament, this remained deadlocked in Council. With a view to moving the dossier forward, the Commission came forward with a revised proposal last September. Unfortunately this also remains blocked in Council.
Although the EU has, on average, among the highest living standards in the world, some people are unable to feed themselves adequately. An estimated 43 million people in the EU are at risk of food poverty, meaning that they cannot afford a proper meal every second day. The most deprived persons programme supports the provision of food to these individuals or especially vulnerable families who find themselves in difficulties. In 2009 over 440 000 tonnes of products were distributed to 18 million people in 19 Member States. Charity organisations and NGOs count on the EU participation to help these people in need. It is therefore crucial that a solution is found quickly to overcome the existing problems and to be able to use the available money.
Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Dacian Cioloș, underlines the importance of this scheme. "We remain politically committed to this scheme – and its importance is recognised by many charity organisations and NGOs around the EU. We must therefore find a way of continuing the scheme in the medium to long term which is clearly in line with the legal situation. The easiest solution would be for member states to agree the proposal that is on the table and already has political support from the European Parliament."
The EU's "Food Distribution programme for the Most Deprived Persons of the Community" (MDP) has been in place since December 1987, when the Council adopted the rules for releasing public intervention stocks of agricultural products to Member States wishing to use them as food aid for the most deprived persons of the Community.
To ensure continuity of supply, in the mid-1990s the MDP was modified to make it possible to supplement intervention stocks with market purchases. This was not intended as a long term solution but one that could be called upon when there were insufficient supplies of certain products. The basis of the programme remained intervention, "until the stocks have been run down to a normal level". Ongoing reforms to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) have gradually returned intervention to a safety net role.
The MDP is funded by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF). Its budget has increased from slightly less than € 100 million in 1987 to € 500 million in 2009 onwards. Participation in the programme is voluntary; in 2012 twenty Member States are taking part.
Each year, Member States wishing to participate communicate their needs to the Commission, in terms of quantities of the products available in intervention stocks. Based on this and Eurostat data on poverty the Commission defines a budget ceiling for each participating Member State and a list of products to be withdrawn from public stocks or purchased on the market, using the budget allocated.
When intervention stocks are supplied, tenders are launched for the conversion, or exchange, of these commodities (e.g. wheat) into processed products of the same "family" (e.g. flour or pasta). These products are distributed as food aid to the most deprived, either in the form of food baskets or as meals in centres run by charities and other competent bodies, designated by the Member States. The MDP supports the provision of food to individuals or especially vulnerable families who find themselves in difficulties.
Successive reforms of the CAP have led to a much more market-oriented system, with much lower levels of intervention stocks. Recognising that this could become a problem for the Aid for the Needy scheme, the Commission first published a proposal to adjust the scheme (including measures to make it easier to access products from the open market) in 2008. However, this became deadlocked in the Council, with opposition from 6 member states.
In September 2010, Commissioner presented a revised proposal (also to take account of the Treaty of Lisbon) - see IP/10/1141. However this remains deadlocked in Council.
The European Parliament provided an "Opinion" on the 2008 proposal in 2009, There is no EP position (yet) on the Sept 2010 proposal.
The Court of Justice ruled on 13 April 2011 on a complaint brought by Germany against the Aid for the Needy scheme in 2009, ruling against the Commission and basically stating that the majority of food supplies under the scheme should come from public storage.
The annual plans are usually adopted in September. The reason for this "earlier" adoption of the annual plan is, in the light of the dramatic cut in resources, to give member states and charities some additional time so that they can try to find alternative sources of food.

Omega: Sigmascape V3.0 (Savage) Learning Raid
Alith Academy Learning Raids are a program specifically designed to help our members learn the ropes of Final Fantasy XIV raids / trials, without the fear of messing up, or the confusion of not knowing the tactics. Our Officers and PvE Raid Leaders work as a team to schedule, organise and host regular "Learning Raids" that everyone is welcome to sign up for, regardless of your experience.
hese are guaranteed to be casual events, with an emphasis on "Learning" while having fun. All members of all experiences are welcomed to attend these raids. Our Raid Leaders will ensure that these are relaxed, casual, fun, pressure-free raids with focus on teaching members the mechanics & tactics of each of the fights. These raids are ideal for those who are either new to the FFXIV raid, or still working on becoming confident with them. Members are free & welcome to attend as many of these raids as they like, so they can continue to grow in confidence & experience in their own time.
Occasionally, and so as to avoid the distress of unnecessary suicide runs, there may be some basic minimum requirements to attend each event (based on the difficulty of the content). These will be clearly shown in the calendar event where necessary.
This is a Learning run, so our Raid Leaders will take the time to explain the boss tactics before each fight. This will include the boss mechanics and various instructions for a successful fight. During this, feel free to ask questions to better understand the fight. We also ask that you don't rush through the raid - follow the Raid Leaders instructions and allow them the time needed to explain the tactics prior to each fight, until everyone is ready. Expect plenty of wipes, remember that mistakes will happen, this is all about having fun without making anyone feel bad or pressured while we learn. Everyone learns at a different pace, and that's okay :)
Omega Savage raids can be quite challenging, so the below minimum requirements are truly necessary before attempting this content.
Please understand that there is no guarantee how far the raid group will make it, as this is a learning group.
First Timers AND casual raiders are welcomed to join.
Sigmascape V1.0 and V2.0 not completed?
If you have not yet completed Sigmascape V1.0 and V2.0, normally you cannot enter Sigma V3.0. However as this is a pre-made party, you WILL be able to enter. Please be aware however, that by entering Sigmascape V3.0, when you have NOT yet completed 1 and 2 for the week, you will automatically forfeit your loot allowance for those first two instances. By signing up to this raid, you agree and understand this.
Please make sure you have Discord installed and set up prior to the run. Let the raid leader or an officer know if you still need to be approved for the Alith Discord server. We require you to install it even if you don't have a microphone, just being able to hear instructions is a great help and very important. If you for some reason cannot use Discord or have difficulties with hearing instructions, let us know before the event so we can consider other arrangements.
During the raid we would kindly request that we maintain Discord silence during the time the Raid Leader is issuing commands & coordinating. It's a challenging role for our raid leaders to lead, co-ordinate, and give instructions for a large person group, and impossible for them if everyone is talking over each other - so please show due respect and patience.
Raids can be a challenging experience and you should be prepared for some deaths. In case of death we would require for you to please remain patient, understanding, supportive and to not put unnecessary pressure on other group members. We raid leaders/officers will of course do the same.
We cannot guarantee that the run will be successful so, we'd ask that you come along with a relaxed, casual attitude, and appreciate the fact that some runs will be successful, and some won't. Some members will be more experienced than others, and we don't want anyone to be made to feel like they're "not good enough". The key is for us to have fun, and not take the whole thing too seriously, so no raging please. Please notice the end time to the event: If the run isn't completed by that time, the run could be terminated. Please, do not be disheartened. Of course, you are more than welcome to sign up for the next available run!
How to sign up:
All members who wish to join, should sign up on the calendar and remember to state your role and average gear item level. (contact a raid leader / officer if you need help locating this).
If the event has reached maximum capacity - you can sometimes sign up as a reserve and may be invited to join if spaces become available. If there are enough reserves for an additional raid then a second group may be set up depending on Raid Leader availability.
Please aim to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start time since that designates the time we actually start the run. Invites for the group go out 15 minutes before the start and if you are not there by that time, you may risk being replaced. We can't hold up other members as a result of 1 member running late.
In the event we do not get full attendance, we will aim to NOT cancel the raid. Instead we will attempt to fill the empty slots with Alith members who are online in game, and as a last resort, consider non FC players (provided the group are happy to do this).
Note that all calendar times are in CET (Central European Time).
We're looking forward to seeing you all at the run!
Alith Raid Leaders & Officers.

text: Dear Beowulf ML, Here is an interesting discussion on the methods and metrics that could apply to multicore chips and clusters. I have not seen this discussed on the list, so it may be new to some. Here is the link to the overview wiki http://view.eecs.berkeley.edu/wiki/Main_Page And motivation for people to go to the link: quote from the wiki "We believe that much can be learned by examining the success of parallelism at the extremes of the computing spectrum, namely embedded computing and high performance computing. This led us to frame the parallel landscape with seven question under the following assumptions: The target should be 1000s of cores per chip, as this hardware is the most efficient in MIPS per watt, MIPS per area of silicon, and MIPS per development dollar. Instead of traditional benchmarks, use 7+ ?dwarfs? to design and evaluate parallel programming models and architectures. (A dwarf is an algorithmic method that captures a pattern of computation and communication.) ?Autotuners? should play a larger role than conventional compilers in translating parallel programs. To maximize programmer productivity, programming models should be independent of the number of processors. To maximize application efficiency, programming models should support a wide range of data types and successful models of parallelism: data-level parallelism, independent task parallelism, and instruction-level parallelism. " And the detailed white paper that started his (Dec 2006) http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2006/EECS-2006-183.html The "Seven Questions" discuss approaches to what seem to be standard discussions on cluster, parallel programming and best practices. Lots of fun for everyone! Applications 1. What are the applications? 2. What are common kernels of the applications? Architecture and Hardware 3. What are the HW building blocks? 4. How to connect them? Programming Model and Systems Software 5. How to describe applications and kernels? 6. How to program the hardware? Evaluation 7. How to measure success? ------ Sincerely, Tom Pierce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Treatment Cascade: A Spotlight Series
Whether or not you have heard of the treatment cascade, if you are living with HIV, then you are represented on it. The treatment cascade is a powerful visual reminder of the state of the HIV epidemic in the U.S. in terms of how many people have a fully suppressed viral load -- and how many people are at each stage of getting toward that health goal.
The treatment cascade relays to the viewer the idea that everyone's HIV diagnosis is the beginning of a journey -- and it's a reminder that a lot of work must be done in order to make the health care system serve more people, more effectively. With this Treatment Cascade Spotlight Series, TheBody.com has set out to mix the medical statistics that comprise the cascade with personal stories from our community about each of the unique steps of this journey.
Our series is split into groups to reflect the different steps of the treatment cascade: those who are newly diagnosed, or know their HIV status; those who have been linked to and stayed in HIV care; those who have started HIV treatment; and finally; those who have achieved an undetectable viral load, meaning that their HIV is suppressed.

Johnstone's Paint Trophy: Peterborough defeat Chesterfield in Wembley final
Peterborough secured their first ever Johnstone's Paint Trophy triumph with a 3-1 victory over Chesterfield at Wembley.
Last Updated: 31/03/14 9:45am
Goals from Josh McQuoid and Shaun Brisley put Posh in the driving seat at half time as the Spireites were punished for not making the most of their opportunities.
However, Eoin Doyle's strike and a red card for Peterborough midfielder Joe Newell looked to have swung the game more towards the League Two side.
But Britt Assombalonga's penalty restored the two-goal cushion and ensured Ferguson became only the second man to win the competition both as a player and a manager, following in the footsteps of Sean O'Driscoll.
Brisley was fortunate not to concede an early penalty for a strong challenge from behind on Doyle.
At the other end, a timely tackle from Ian Evatt prevented Newell from giving Peterborough the lead. But from the resulting corner Posh did score.
Brisley was allowed a free header which was palmed away by Tommy Lee and McQuoid was on hand to turn in the loose ball from close range with seven minutes on the clock.
Substitute Sam Hird, on as a 12th-minute replacement for the injured Ollie Banks, had Chesterfield's first chance and his far-post header was goalbound until it was deflected wide off the back of an unknowing defender.
The League Two side responded well to falling behind and enjoyed a dominant half an hour spell against their opponents from the division above, but ultimately they would be made to pay for not making it count.
Gary Roberts, who earlier appeared to go to ground too easily inside the penalty area under minimal contact from Nathaniel Knight-Percival, was linking up well down the right with Tendayi Darikwa.
It was from neat build up play involving those two that Chesterfield should have equalised but Sam Morsy sliced his shot wide from Darikwa's low cross.
A second gilt-edged chance soon came the way of Evatt but he headed unchallenged straight into the arms of Bobby Olejnik from six yards out.
You got the feeling that Paul Cook's team might rue missing such chances, and so it proved seven minutes before half time when Brisley out-jumped his marker to head home Danny Swanson's corner.
But Chesterfield reduced their arrears in the 53rd minute when Doyle swept home a shot from seven yards out following Morsy's excellent driving run and cross.
And their tails were up further in the 68th minute when Newell was shown a straight red card by referee Andy D'Urso for a petulant kick out at Morsy.
Cook sensed his chance and immediately replaced midfielder Jay O'Shea with on-loan Derby striker Mason Bennett.
However, Chesterfield's glimmer of hope was soon snuffed out as Mark Little, who had a loan spell with the Spireites during the 2009/10 campaign, saw his burst into the box halted when he was clipped by Liam Cooper.
Assombalonga coolly stroked the resulting penalty down the centre for his 27th goal of the season to seal Peterborough's first Wembley win since defeating Darlington in the then-Division Three play-off final in 2000.
Chesterfield, who impressed with their style of football but were unable to repeat their triumph of two years ago, will hope this is the only time they visit Wembley this season as they look to secure automatic promotion while Posh will hope to be back in May for the League One play-off final.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Bongani Khumalo will go down in history on 19 January as he becomes the third player to captain Bafana Bafana into a major competition played at home. Following in the footsteps of Neil Tovey (1996 CAF Africa Cup of Nations) and Aaron Mokoena (2009 FIFA Confederations Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup™), Khumalo will lead the players out as they take on Cape Verde Islands in the opening match of the 2013 CAF Africa cup of Nations.
Having already been in the South Africa squads for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, as well as the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Khumalo is experienced at playing at the highest level. However, captaining the side at a such a prestigious event will be something new for the 25-year-old, who plays his club football for Greek club PAOK, where he is on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
And with a place at the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil at stake for the AFCON winners, FIFA.com found the captain in determined mood. "It is hard to find words to describe what it feels like to know that I will captain the side at the finals," he said. "It is like a dream come true. I would never have imagined that something of this magnitude was possible. I'm very grateful to be in this place and for the great deal of confidence that the coach and others have in me. I am very humbled and hope now that I will be able to inspire my team-mates to success."
Ahead of their opening match, Khumalo and the other players in the squad have constantly been asked about the victorious 1996 team and it is something that somewhat irks the current squad of players. "I am part of a new generation of players, although there are a lot of players with experience from the World Cup. The cup-winning side of 1996 have been mentioned over and over again, and it was a great moment for South African football. But now, as hosts for 2013, it's important that we create new memories. It was a great part of our history, but as players we need to create our own memories. We have a squad of players we believe in," he said.
Eyes on the opener
The hosts have been drawn into Group A, alongside Cape Verde, Angola and Morocco, and the captain says he, like most of the country, is squarely focused on the opener. "Although there are several very strong sides in the competition, it is very important for us to focus on the first match and then take it from there. Having said that, it is very important that we start with a good game against Cape Verde and ultimately, that could prove to be the most important match."
I would say that we have a winning spirit and hopefully that will come into play once the competition starts.
Khumalo, who started his playing career at Pretoria-based Arcadia Shepherds - the same club that 1996 winner Mark Fish played for - says he is confident that the team can do well. "We have a good bunch of players, we want to achieve a lot and we want to perform. The game is about achieving and as we are playing at home, we need to give even more to achieve even more."
He counts the connection between the players as a major factor in the current team, saying: "There is a great team spirit in the squad and the players show real character. I would say that we have a winning spirit and hopefully that will come into play once the competition starts."
Leading the Rainbow Nation
Khumalo has taken over the captain's armband from Everton's Steven Pienaar, who turned down an opportunity to play at the finals. It is a course of action, Khumalo says he could not imagine for himself. "I do not want to say anything about players who no longer want to play for their national team. That is their decision, but for me it is an honour. As a youngster I used to watch the games and since joining the national team each game is an honour, regardless of how many games I have played. There are always so many people watching and they expect great things. I will always be available to play for my country."
The defender, who was born in Swaziland as his mother was studying there at the time, joined the University of Pretoria from Arcadia and then moved to SuperSport United. After the 2010 World Cup finals, he received an invitation to go on trials at Tottenham, who then signed him. But after struggling to make the grade in England, he has since become a regular starter in the PAOK line-up. He believes that new Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund will make a difference to the team. Like his team-mates he is impressed with the way Igesund has taken on the task. "Obviously the coach came in shortly before a major tournament, and he has new ideas and a new style of coaching. He has freshened up things and has introduced new players and a new set-up. I am confident that his ideas will work."

Since 2000, abounding millions of Americans accept endured a aboriginal advance on their survival, their bread-and-butter rights. Aliment prices are traveling up, as the Wall St. centered, broker community, motivated by the bazaar collapse of 2007, are heavily invested in aliment commodities; it's the endure breadth of the population's abridgement that can be looted. Aliment has been added to the bank economy, aliment derivatives facilitate absence and belief in the population's aliment supply; acceptance investors to accomplish a killing.
To a lot of of us, the attempt to augment ourselves seems limited now, although prices are traveling up, yet we are blind 49 actor Americans are abreast or traveling hungry; ache in America is accretion as the abjection amount increases. The actuality that one to two billions of bodies about the apple go hungry, will now be our aggregate civic experience. There are abounding facets and factors operating this aliment abhorrent adjoin humanity.
Goldman Sachs fabricated added than $400 actor dollars bank in aliment prices in 2012, hundreds of millions of bodies went after food, starved. Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Goldman Sachs and others are demography advantage of the deregulation they engineered and foster; they actualize article acquired markets, banking instruments, investment products, etc., demography advantage of speculation, animation and amount spikes, impacting the adaptation of bodies who in fact attempt to augment themselves and their families. The United States has anesthetized legislation, not yet implemented, to ascendancy aliment speculation, as Goldman Sachs' chicane in lobbying and cloister filed actions, has acted to impede the new regulations. Anti-Speculation in Aliment legislation is getting proposed in the European Union, about it seems to accept been tabled, due to the lobbying efforts of Goldman Sachs and company.
The efforts of the US Dept of Agronomics head, Secretary Tom Vilsack, the priorities of the Obama Administration, accept to be advised for acquiescence with the USDA mission that supports the population's accepted of active and corrected, so that agronomics action will facilitate the civic aegis requirements, not Globalization. Sec. Villsack will bear the February 7th keynote speech, at the 18th Annual Civic Booze Conference of the U.S. Renewable Fuels Association,(RFA), in Las Vegas, Nevada. RFA has acclaimed the USDA, and the Obama Administration for their "continuing investment in next bearing biofuels" which agency converting aliment crops into ammunition biomass, prioritizing US burning of aliment as fuel. This cannot be.
The purpose of agriculture, farms, and the aliment assembly industry, is to accomplish the civic aegis obligations, that is to aftermath and distribute, safe, wholesome, aliment in affluence and assure the citizenry from top aliment prices, aliment absence and starvation; this cold has been attacked by neo-Liberal Globalization that finds the optimum use for the civic aliment accommodation is in ammunition and exportation, acknowledging the new Biobased Economy; as it is, at atomic 42% of the civic blah crop is committed to the gas tank, not the ancestors table. Aliment for Ammunition is every bit an abhorrent adjoin the population's survival, abbreviating aliment accessible for beastly consumption, while accepting farmers and even the US Navy shackled to this batty policy.
Monsanto, BASF, Syngenta, Dupont/Pioneer, et al are dedicating assets and analysis to the affiance of maximized profits in biofuels, in the analysis of soy bean for agent ammunition and in blah for ethanol. Patents on aliment crops for biofuels are getting filed.
Inadequate nutrition, beneath augment available, for beastly livestock herds, impacted by the requirements of the Biobased Abridgement aswell abate aliment assembly for humans.
Flooding, like that, brought on by Hurricane Issac, in the Louisiana area, and the affliction aridity aback the 1950′s, has been a abundant appulse on acreage production, and livestock herds, abnormally in the southwest United States area the aridity was a lot of severe. In 40 states, the acreage assembly loses to aridity affects 80% of farms. The afflicted cattle, and added livestock, accident done to crops are boundless here. This abolition to farms, crops and livestock, could accept been minimized by advancement the present baptize administration basement and additionally, Federal directed allotment and activity to amalgam the new avant-garde baptize agronomics and administration systems, throughout North America, as it is proposed in the new abridgement platform, the North American Baptize and Power Alliance, (NAWAPA 21). This activity could apply 8 actor Americans, advance to the conception of several added modernizing, abridgement platforms, while abandoning the civic abridgement crisis.
Usurious, Private Sector, accounts of government, consistent in accomplished acerbity budgets at every akin of government, which accept been accustomed awning by 'conservative' politics, and the attenuated minded, abbreviate sighted, acerbity getting planned for the future, are aswell amenable for this abridgement of basement in baptize administration and agronomics policy. Civic Banking, allotment projects through the civic acclaim system, accept to be implemented as abridgement formation, to actual the money botheration affecting so abounding government entities that are answerable to abutment the citizenry not corporatism.
National Acreage Associations accept to acquisition their forum(s) and acquaint the crisis to America, political leadership, and plan calm with the abutment of the USDA to ensure that acreage assembly levels will be pushed aback up and maintained at accustomed assembly levels. Crop production, abstinent in tonnage, has already fallen, this abatement has to be stopped. Acreage acreage that suffered accident accept to be repaired and acreage set abreast in Conservation Programs, accept to be appear into acreage assembly use, as anon as possible. Civic Banking accessories accept to armamentarium the farmers adjustment costs and berry purchases for reseeding repaired acreage in use and agronomics new land.
NAWAPA 21 will be the abundant activity that solves abounding civic problems at once.

This activity will be the catalyst that demands aliment for the laborer and their families, a accessible bazaar for farmers to satisfy. Added projects, the architecture of the new Nuclear Fueled Energy Grid and the architecture and accession of the artery MagLev abuse line, all facilitate the conception of NAWAPA 21. Millions of top paying jobs will lift the economy, out of the affected paper, bailout economy, to new heights we haven't apparent in a few generations.

NEWARK — A 21-year-old Newark man was fatally gunned down early Saturday in a drive-by shooting near Thornton Avenue and Mulberry Street, police said.
It was the city's first homicide of the year, said Cmdr. Mike Carroll.
Officers received a report of a shooting there at 4:03 a.m. and when they arrived they found a 22-year-old Castro Valley man shot in the upper thigh and the Newark man shot in the upper legs and arm, police said. He later died at a local hospital; the Castro Valley man is expected to survive.
Detectives from the Newark Police Department and Southern Alameda County Major Crimes Task Force were investigating, but no additional information including a suspect or a motive was released on Saturday.
The last homicide in Newark took place in January 2012.
Robert Louis Cheney, 69, of Pleasanton, died when a vehicle carrying three burglary suspects crashed into his car, police said. Cheney's two-door Honda was struck by a Chevy Malibu in the intersection of Cherry Street and Mowry Avenue. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police are asking anyone with information about Saturday's shooting to call police at 510-578-4237. Information can also be left anonymously on the "Silent Witness" hotline at 510-578-4965.

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III finally looked human, and Tony Romo looks like Tony Romo, and the Cowboys are suddenly, amazingly back in this one.
Griffin's first interception gave the Cowboys a chance to get within a score, as they took over deep in Redskins territory and cut it to 35-28 with more than half the fourth quarter to go.
Romo threw three touchdowns to balance his two picks, including an 85-yarder to Dez Bryant and a fourth-down conversion for a score, and as they have so many times, they've fought their way back into this one with 8:18 left.

CHICAGO – There's some irony in Jalen Rose being chosen by the National Basketball Retired Players Association to be its guy in bridging a gap between current NBA players and the league's older alumni who have shown the most interest in that group.
Rose, after all, is the son of the late Jimmy Walker, the No. 1 draft pick out of Providence in 1967. Yet the two never met.
As heartrending as that (lack of) relationship must have been, Rose always knew who his father was. He studied Walker's professional history – two All-Star appearances and 16.7 ppg in nine seasons – off the backs of bubble-gum cards. Well into his own 13-year NBA career, Rose spoke and corresponded with the man. But they drifted apart again without a face-to-face and Walker died in July 2007, 10 weeks after Rose played his final NBA game.
So here's the son now, reaching out with both arms, one to yesterday, one to today, as the NBRPA's newly appointed "ambassador." The role, to be announced Tuesday, will enable Rose to shape programs for former players while recruiting and enlisting the help of the younger guys. His goal: seamlessness.
"It's a family," Rose told NBA.com last week in a phone interview. "I really don't see a disconnect between the two. Now there's always going to be the mentality that, the older you get, the longer the walk looks.
"But for the most part, I think there's a healthy respect in the current players for the retired players and what they've done. Hopefully we can create some awareness, some planning, a decision-making mechanism from top to bottom – whether it's social, emotional or financial – so you're prepared for that next step."
Rose, 41, is being counted on to raise the NBRPA's profile through his visibility as an NBA analyst and studio host for ESPN/ABC. He's been famous since he was a teenager as one of Michigan's "Fab Five" freshmen who brashly took on NCAA basketball protocols. And he remains a familiar face and presence through his TV work with many active and recently retired players.
The veteran of five NBA teams began preparing for his post-playing days while still active, completing a communications degree and getting on-air work with the Fox Sports' "Best Damn Sports Show" five years before he retired. So he can speak with authority to active players who might not see Father Time lurking down the road.
"Of course your current job, first, second and third, is to play basketball," Rose said. "But life-planning is something we all have to do. Basketball is going to be a terrific sprint in your life, but you also want to be around for the marathon."
The NBRPA, which represents former players from the NBA, ABA, Harlem Globetrotters and WNBA, is excited about Rose's appointment. But it hasn't always been ready for its close-up. Founded in 1992 by Dave DeBusschere, Dave Bing, Archie Clark, Dave Cowens and Oscar Robertson, the group suffered from years of in-fighting, competing agendas and mismanagement.
Former Knicks forward Charles Smith had been relieved of his duties as executive director, members of the board – all former players – were disenchanted or estranged and the association's two primary sources of funding, the NBA and the players union (NBPA), were wavering in their support.
Only after a search firm was enlisted, with former New Orleans Saints executive Arnie Fielkow hired as president and CEO, did the NBRPA begin to turn things around. A strong board of directors, including chairman Otis Birdsong and vice chairman Thurl Bailey among others, shored things up from within.
Membership now is at a high of nearly 700 former players, working both inside (programs for ex-players) and outside (serving their communities). And last month, Birdsong and Fielkow were in Washington, standing alongside NBA commissioner Adam Silver, NBPA president Chris Paul of the Los Angeles Clippers and President Obama to announce a five-year commitment to the My Brothers Keeper mentoring program.
"I've been around it for a long time and seen it go through its trials and tribulations," said Hall of Famer Rick Barry, a member of the board who had once disassociated himself from the NBRPA. "But it's never been in better position than it's in right now. The leadership, with Arnie and the guys on the board, we have some first-rate, quality individuals, guys who really care about trying to do the right things. And now we're trying to reach out to the younger players.
"The bottom line is, these younger guys – they make so much money – it would be easy for them to walk away and say, 'Forget it.' Probably the biggest disappointment that I have is that more of the big-name star players, I don't think, have involved themselves in ways that could take this organization to greater heights."
Too often, the gap between current or newly retired NBA players and NBRPA member was a wide one. Many former players only came to the alumni group in need, years removed from the league. Then again, the NBRPA only recently has been in position to assist younger members with their transitions into new opportunities and lives.
"When you're playing and you're making good money, you don't think about retirement," said Bailey, who played from 1983 to 1999 for Utah, Minnesota and several European teams. "You think about playing a lot of years, but there are only a few who can get up in double digits.
"We've needed to show the younger guys what we can do for them. And even more important, we need them to help us. It's about membership, it's about the basketball family. Once you leave the court, that transition into the basketball family surprises a lot of guys. … One thing we'll all have in common is, one day is, we'll all be retired basketball players."
Longer, in most cases, than they were active players. That's part of the perspective Rose brings with his sobering but effective view – recruiting pitch? – of what it means to be a former NBA "legend."
"The public will truly only be concerned with the elite of the elite who sit in the Hall of Fame," he said. "Michael and Russell and Bird – those 10 notable guys. From that, for public consumption on a day-to-day basis, everybody else can almost be viewed as equal as a retired player. When you're walking up the street, the person next to you doesn't know if you scored 26,000 points or 2,600 points. And if they do know, they don't care.
"So people are going to judge you on what you're doing right now, unless you're one of those 10 guys."
Jalen Rose is doing a lot, and taking on more.

LEXINGTON, Kentucky – After being named the program's first Little East Conference Defensive Player of the Year earlier this week, freshman libero Elizabeth Glavan (Edina, Minn.) was named an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Region Honorable Mention.
The first libero to ever be named an All-Region selection in the program's history, Glavan has had a standout freshman season with the Beacons. The conference leader in digs with 574 (5.27 dpg), Glavan was named a three-time Little East Defensive Player of the Week and one-time ECAC New England Player of the Week. In a total of 109 games played this season, Glavan was by far the most consistent player in New England, Glavan recorded a total of 696 service receptions. Throughout the season Glavan put-up big numbers as played a major part in helping the Beacons to their fifth straight Little East Tournament title. Her top performance this season came when she recorded 39 digs in the 3-2 loss to Haverford College, which set a new program record for digs in a match. Not only was she dangerous in the back row, but she was just as dangerous at the end-line as she finished the year with 39 aces.

Watching the online stream of a news conference last week from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona brought to mind an old cliché: If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
In this case it applies to Nokia, the once-mighty cellphone maker that soon will be part of Microsoft. Nokia just announced an Android phone.
Although Microsoft hasn't yet taken the reigns of Nokia, it is expected to do so within months, so it's highly unlikely that Nokia executives made this announcement without consulting their soon-to-be overlords.
And even if Nokia weren't about to be a division of Microsoft, it would still be an extraordinary announcement because Nokia is the only major smartphone maker to have jumped on the Windows phone bandwagon in a big way. All of its recent smartphones, including its very well reviewed Lumia 1020 were running Microsoft's Windows phone operating system long before the two companies announced they were getting married.
The initial line of Nokia Android phones — the Nokia X, X+ and XL — will be low-end devices aimed mostly at "emerging markets," which is an industry euphemism for developing countries. Prices start at $122 without a carrier subsidy (the prices many Americans pay for phones are subsidized by carriers in exchange for being locked into a contract).
Like Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets, which are also based on the Android operating system, the Nokia phones user interface won't look like Android and users won't download Android apps from the Google Play store, as do users of Android phones from LG, Sony, HTC and most other Android handset makers. Instead, Nokia is basing its new phones on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which enables it to use the core Android operating system without necessarily using the Google-inspired interface or accessing Google services such as the app store or the typically bundled Google apps and features such as Gmail, Google Maps, Google search or Google storage options.
The new phones will run what Nokia is calling the "New Nokia X software platform," which is basically its own user interface running on top of Android combined with its own app store.
Nokia has already issued a news release that "welcomes Android developers." It claims that "the vast majority of Android apps can be published to the Nokia Store as is." For those that can't, the company will offer tools to make the transition easier.
From Microsoft's standpoint, what's most important is the applications and services that run on the phones, not who wrote the underlying code. As he introduced the new phones from Barcelona, Nokia's former CEO and soon-to-be Microsoft Xbox chief, Stephen Elop, made it very clear these phones will be "introducing new customers around the world to popular Microsoft services like Skype. Microsoft OneDrive, Outlook.com and more to come."
This could be a brilliant move. Even though Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system has been well received in certain markets, its third quarter 2013 global market share is only 4 percent, putting it in next to last place, just ahead of BlackBerry, whose share has shrunk to 2 percent. That compares to an 82-percent share for Android and a 12 percent share for Apple's iOS, according to Gartner as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
This move fits in with Microsoft's strategy to evolve into a "devices and services company," as articulated by its recently retired CEO, Steve Ballmer. The company has made the bulk of its money selling software to corporations and end-users, and operating system licenses to PC makers. But with a shrinking PC market and a change in the software landscape, Microsoft is looking to "primarily monetize our high-value activities by leading with devices and enterprise services," as Ballmer wrote in his final letter to shareholders.
Microsoft isn't exactly copying its competitors, Apple and Google, but it is learning from them. Apple, for the most part, gives away its software and makes its money from devices. Even though the press likes to marvel at the latest hardware specs when Apple comes up with a new iPhone, iPad or Macintosh, the real value in these devices isn't the hardware — lots of companies can build good hardware — but the software that you can get only by buying their hardware. And even though Google makes some hardware, the bulk of its revenue is the advertising revenue it earns from services that are accessible through the hardware that runs its operating systems, applications and services. Google makes money when people use their services on any phone, tablet or PC, but they do even better when people use Android or Chromebooks because the services are more tightly integrated into those devices.
Right now, these Android-based Nokia phones are aimed at the developing world, but it wouldn't surprise me if they become part of Microsoft's mainstream strategy as the 39-year-old company adapts itself to the new world of devices and services.

Modern Bedding Styles Made Easy
These days bedding not only serves an aesthetic purpose but a practical one as well. For many of us with children, pets and busy households, the idea of immaculate untouchable bedding is not a reality. Bedding must fit into our lifestyles as well as our budgets. That means accessibility, easy maintenance and affordable prices. With today's bedding it has become unnecessary to spend countless hours caring for and maintaining bedding just to achieve that modern look that we all desire. For many of us we also do not have the time or patience to spend focusing that much energy on one room.
Modern bedding is all about colors, shades, shapes and lines that not only reflect you and your personal space but also the mood that you want to convey in the room. All together your design choices should create a story that you are trying to tell. Bedding is no longer only intended to cover a mattress. It has now become the focal point of the room. This is your sanctuary and it deserves some deep consideration and thought in its design. Since you spend a third of your life in your bedroom you can see the importance of making it suit your personality.
When decorating your bedroom in a modern style it is important to keep a clean, uncluttered look in the bedroom. This not only applies to bedding but the furniture and accessories that you choose as well. Avoid mixing antiques with this modern look as the effect will look confusing and unattractive. It is also important to keep personal items and knick knacks as organized or out of site as possible. If you enjoy these guilty little pleasures be sure to carefully select modern accessories that accent the chosen colors for the room. Contrasting with the odd bold, bright color piece is another trick to making an impact. Coordinate your entire bed from the sheets hidden beneath to the decorative cushions that adorn the top. This will keep the theme of your room strong and keep the focus on simplicity and design.
Also remember that bedding can be achieved on a budget. With so many online bedding stores targeting the modern bedding market prices have become much more affordable. Shop around and find what suits your lifestyle and budget. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for-it's a fact that well made bedding, when taken care of can last years. Be sure your choices are not solely made on price but quality as well.
If you have trouble getting started pick up a design magazine. There are many great ideas out there waiting for the designer in all of us to run with. You will be surprised how quickly you can pick this up. Remember nobody knows your style better than you.

Portal 2 Credits song "Want You Gone"
When I finished the game a few days back, I was really impressed by the top-notch quality of the ending. I mean, the ending itself wasnt overly hard or anything, but the wonderful originality, tongue-in-cheek symbolism and twists made it simply exceptional.
I'll try to avoid spoilers. There is a surprise in store for those who listened to Cave Johnson carefully; and another bout of Wheatley's spontaneous gibberish someplace you wouldn't think, and the unlikeliest orchestra you have ever seen.
But the crowning glory is undoubtedly GLaDOS' song at the credits, worthy of any Grammy. It is really, really special. Here it is. Do leave your comments below!

After Cabrera's Triple Crown, What Huge Baseball Feat Will Happen Next? — Sports Survey of the Day
On Wednesday it became official: Miguel Cabrera is the first player to win baseball's Triple Crown since Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Cabrera finished with a .330 batting average, 44 home runs and 139 RBIs, also leading his Detroit Tigers to the American League Central Division championship. Congratulations to Cabrera—anytime achievement that hasn't been done in 45 years deserves applause. So what comes next: a pitcher winning 30 games, a 57-game hitting streak or a .400 average? Those three feats have also gone quite some time without being done (except for the hitting streak, which obviously never has). Denny McLain (also of the Tigers) was the last pitcher to hit the 30-win mark, back in 1968. Joe Dimaggio's famous 56-game hitting streak was in 1941, the same year Ted Williams hit .406, the last time a hitter broke the .400 barrier.

This is the first of a series of articles that will be published in coming weeks concerning the Oceanside Sanitary District 7, its operations and its supervisors. This article focuses on a Hempstead Town audit completed by then-comptroller Howard Weitzman on December 29, 2009.
The recent election contest between incumbent commissioner Michael Sullivan and challenger Ed Scharfsberg brought out arguably the largest turnout for an Oceanside sanitary district election in more than a decade.
Scharfsberg, a town firefighter and retired NYPD detective, won the election by a nearly a 2-1 margin and it was clear from the comments of those leaving the polling place in Oceanside that the overriding issues of the campaign were the actions of the district in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the ongoing belief by many residents that the sanitary district is run like a fiefdom, with all of the decisions being made by the commissioners in the proverbial "smoke-filled room" behind locked doors.
The theme of change and transparency in the wake of Hurricane Sandy was apparent from speaking to a number of Oceanside resident waiting their turn to vote outside the firehouse.
"I certainly was not happy with the actions of the sanitation department and with garbage collection after Sandy," said Ellen Histger. "I am voting for Scharfberg because in Oceanside, the garbage business is dirty business and things have to change. They didn't do a decent job after the storm and you did not have pick-up for two weeks unless you live on the same block as somebody who works for the district. There are a lot of politically incorrect things that go on with the district."
In fact, one of Scharfsberg's campaign promises was to set up a website to "shine a little light" on the activities and finances of the district.
While a district website does now exist, a check this week found that there is little on it besides the telephone number of the district garage.
Now that he has won a seat on the board and was sworn in nearly three weeks ago, that secrecy, he says is impacting his ability to do what he was elected for.
Even though he is now a commissioner, told the Herald this week that he has been unable to get a copy of the last budget approved by the board of commissioners.
He plans to address that issue at the next meeting of the commissioners on August 1.
There are many in Oceanside, who say that the rejection of a nine-year incumbent in favor of a relative newcomer, shows that dissatisfaction with the sanitary district and its leaders goes much deeper than simply what happened after Sandy.
They point to a 47-page 2009 audit of the district by then-comptroller Howard S. Weitzman, the last audit conducted of the sanitary district.
According to that four-year-old audit, over a three-year period from 2006 to 2009, Oceanside Sanitary District Supervisor Charles Scarlata earned $667,163 in public pay and benefits, making him one of the most highly compensated public officials on Long Island.
The town audit also showed that Scarlata, 51, may receive a $25,000-a-year payment from Sanitary District 7 for 15 years after he leaves the district -- a deferred compensation package currently worth $299,530. Included in his pay package is a $450-a-year medical and optical allowance. Scarlata also receives the use of a district vehicle and five weeks vacation a year.
Scarlata is not the first member of his family to hold the top sanitary district job, the audit said. His father, Oceanside Republican club leader Michael Scarlata, held the post before him. And, the audit show, although Michael Scarlata retired from the district in December 1998 with an annual pension of about $75,000, he returned two days later as a part-time consultant for the district, making an additional $62,000 a year, plus health benefits. All told, the father and son cost sanitary district taxpayers more than $1 million in pay and benefits from the sanitary district from 2006 through 2008, the years examined by the audit, adding that district taxpayers pay $676 a year in garbage taxes, while the average in Hempstead Town is $420. The audit showed many other irregularities.
For example, a number of the district's workers, the audit said, were working out of title. It found that workers who held civil service titles of "messenger" and "recycling worker" actually worked as an accountant, a secretary and a clerk. The employees were not tested for their positions, but were appointed by Michael Scarlata. The 2008 base salary for the accountant was $93,662; for the secretary, $96,662 and for the clerk, $88,404, which the audit said were much higher than the Nassau County salary range for those positions. In addition, it was found that the accountant did not have a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, which is required by law.
The audit also found a lack of internal controls over cash disbursements, poor security over access to the fuel pumps ordinarily used to fuel district vehicles and a lack of competitive bids for goods and services.
Days after a damaging audit of Sanitary District 7 was released from the comptroller's office, Scarlata, who was featured prominently in the audit as the receiver of an unusually high salary and unfair fringe benefits, was awarded a merit-based raise by the district's Board of Commissioners.
Weitzman's audit alleged dirty practices in the sanitary district and unfair treatment of workers, with Scarlata being the biggest recipient of favors. The audit alleged nepotism. Foe example, after the younger Scarlata was hired and replaced his father as supervisor, the elder Scarlata was hired as a consultant. The new supervisor was also granted two $300,000 life insurance policies—paid for by the sanitary district—and post-retirement pay of $25,000 a year for 15 years.
"The district made up its own rules for a small group of employees, while the majority of the laborers in the sanitary district had to play by the rules," Weitzman said in the audit, adding that the salaries paid to those employees were higher than the typical range for the jobs they were performing.
Weitzman's audit also claims the district did not seek proper approvals to use funds to fill a spending gap in 2006 — money he said could have been used to lower the tax rate. Sanitary District No. 7, which provides trash collection six days a week for more than 10,000 residents and more than 900 commercial businesses in Oceanside, is funded by taxpayers.
"Taxpayers have financed a million-dollar family," he said.
The audit highlights the district's extraordinary pay structure, which benefits select administrators, but pays far less to the people who actually pick up the garbage, Weitzman said.
For example, in 2008, Charles Scarlata was paid $224,569 to supervise roughly 55 employees. He was able to add $51,748 to his base salary of $146,245 by receiving payment for 92 comp days, which the audit said was for working extra hours. Additional benefits -- among them a $10,000 bonus, and health and dental insurance -- boosted his total compensation package for that year to $240,769, the audit said. By comparison, sanitation workers make from $17,000 to $79,550 a year, according to records. Moreover, district administrators are entitled to up to 800 days of termination pay -- or about 3½ years of salary -- when they leave. Laborers get up to 250 days, according to the audit. Because Charles Scarlata was the only employee whose payments for comp time were included in salary reports to the New York State retirement system, his pension upon retiring will be approximately $124,000 a year, auditors said.
Despite continuing to work as a district consultant, Michael Scarlata has no contract. Officials refused to provide auditors a written summary of his work, but said he fields requests from local community groups, responds to problems at schools and helps with labor negotiations, the audit said.
Nepotism is rampant, the audit said, with at least eight employees who appear to have family ties. "Sanitary District No. 7 has become the local family business on the public payroll," Weitzman said.
Have things changed since the 2009 audit?
One woman with "close ties to the sanitary district" and who asked not to be identified because of a fear of retribution said this week, "not only have things not changed, but they have gotten worse." She charged that workers have not received a new contract or raises in three years, while supervisors such as Scarlata continue to receive raises and that the union that represents the workers, Local 854 of the Teamsters Union, has done nothing to help the workers.
"Men who have worked for decades for the district and who work 28 to 35 hours a week earn $35,000 a year," she said. "They get no breaks during the day and have to work in stifling hot trucks because the supervisors took the air conditioners out of the trucks to save money on fuel, while the supervisors all got new, air-conditions pick-up trucks. At the same time, Scarlata earns "a six-figure salary" and foreman earn nearly $100,000."
After attempting for a week to speak with Jerome Cline, the district's attorney, the Herald filed a freedom of information request seeking a copy of the district's budget, a list of commissioners and copies of all consultant contracts that the district has with outsider, On Thursday, July 11, Cline did fax a two-page budget summary and the names of the five commissioners to the Herald. The sanitary district serves 13,000 households in Oceanside and small portions of Baldwin and East Rockaway. It also serves 950 commercial businesses and has an annual budget of about $8.65 million.
Sanitary Board members are paid $7,500 a year and receive medical benefits, according to Hempstead Town officials. The average homeowner pays about $600 in district taxes.

The revival of the famous Beech shell
The SONOR Ascent series marks the revival of the famous Beech shell construction that has been a trademark of SONOR throughout the decades. Equipped with the latest features and technology, the Ascent series is the perfect symbiosis between the Select Force and ProLite series of Drum sets. Any player, any style will appreciate the timeless quality and tremendous sound. Spectacular high quality Sparkles, solid lacquered Finishes and stunning wood Veneers highlight the high end look of the Ascent series. A feature taken from SONOR's premium line SQ2 is the black chrome hardware with certain finishes underscoring the timeless design of the Ascent series. Get electrified with quality and sound in perfection!
SONOR Ascent Series Sounds
SONOR's design team worked closely with some of the top SONOR artists to create the proper sound. The result of this collaboration are thin Beech shells for all bass drums and thick Beech shells for snare drums, tom toms and floor toms. The result is a full rich tone, powerful and clear. No matter where you play it, the woodshed, the recording studio or the stage, you'll lay down a perfect performance with the Ascent series.
SONOR Ascent Beech Shell Design
The Beech shells deliver maximum strength, perfect curving and neutral tuning, due to the tension-free cross lamination of individual plies of wood (CLTF Cross Laminated Tension Free Process).
SONOR Ascent Shell Thicknesses
9 plies for tom toms, floor toms and snare drums = 8.75 mm
7 plies for bass drums = 6.35 mm
Power Hoops – Clean Tuning and Crisp Attack!
2.3 mm SONOR Power Hoops on all tom toms and floor toms. 14" snare drums are equipped with die-cast hoops.

Work The System
The brand is has a polar theme:
work really hard now - leads to - enjoy freedom in the not too distant future
discipline now - leads to - an exciting life a little down the road
Putting mundane systems and processes into your business - leads to - buying you the freedom you always wanted
The Work The System brand is all about 'the simple mechanics of making more and working less'
Unlike many books which cover this theme, it is based on a simple, mechanical methodology which can be used in any business and in any industry.
Where a lot of books give myriad examples of how to earn more and work less, Work The System gives a universal, real-world system that any business owner can follow and if they do it follow it, it WILL buy them the freedom/time/money they crave
Entrepreneurs/business owners
not business owners of small start-ups (who have not yet figured out what they are doing) and not business owners of big established businesses (who have already put systems and processes into their businesses)
Any business owner who runs any kind of business
1. To redesign the book cover (see existing design attached) and give it a really fresh/modern twist
2. To remove the existing dated 'cog' image (happy to have some sort of cog image included in the new design but it needs to be a really smart piece of modern looking design
3. To perhaps do something close to the attached design of a book cover we saw on 99 Designs and liked in terms of simplicity/elegance/colour combinations (ideally we would see a couple of different colour schemes presented, including something close to the original orange/rust colours) - see attached 'carousel-example'
4. To somehow show the transgression from:
a. working far too hard and being stressed and bogged down through to
b. putting processes and systems into one's business
c. and showing the burden being removed ( a kind of release from the chains of working in a chaotic, disorganised environment)
Ideally the above 3 part depiction (a, b and c)would all be incorporated into one sweeping graphic based on or around the words 'Work The System'
5. We would also like the word 'Tweaked!' somehow splashed - maybe underneath at an angle covering part of the title - onto the front cover. This is really instead of the word 'revised' and meant to denote a new revision to the book.

Tesla Rises On New Listing; Matarin Wonders If High Volume Is Prelude To Fall
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Telsa Motors (TSLA) were recently up close to 3% in afternoon trading. The company is moving on news that it will replaceOracle (ORCL) on the Nasdaq 100.
While the stock is up nearly 300% in the past year, that gain has come amid very heavy trading. Matarin Capital has an analysis of the massive volume that Tesla has seen in recent months, noting that the stock may have become too popular for its own good.
In May, for example, trading volume was more than 331 million shares. With 118 million shares outstanding, that means that each share changed hands more than three times in the month, writes Matarin Co-founder Stuart Kaye. (This is in fact a very conservative estimate, as about one-quarter of the stock is held by insiders that aren't selling.)
"To put this 280% monthly share turnover in context, the median monthly share turnover for Exxon Mobil (XOM) is 7.5%, for Amazon (AMZN) is 23%, for Apple (AAPL) is 44%, and for Bank of America (BAC) is 45%. While we concede that "buy and hold" may no longer apply, the trading volume in Tesla in May appears staggering."
Given this backdrop, the firm examined the historical performance of stocks in the months that came after turnover of more than 200%:
The list includes many "blasts from the past": stocks like Palm, Ask Jeeves, Lycos, QLogic (QLGC), and Rambus (RMBS). In addition to TSLA, in recent months the list includes names like First Solar (FSLR), JC Penney (JCP), Blackberry, and of course, Netflix (NFLX) (Netflix is actually on the list 25 times!)…[I]t does appear that at the extreme, the highest share turnover names tend to subsequently perform poorly. While we do not use share turnover as an input into our stock selection models, our return forecasts tend to be negatively correlated with popularity."

One of my favorite toys as a pre-teen was a tape recorder, which brought many, many hours of creative entertainment. After recording various bodily function noises (some genuine, others fabricated) toilet flushings, etc., my friends and I graduated to making parodies of TV and radio commercials, TV shows, and even made our own skits. But my first tape recorder also taught me my first lesson in drive design, although I'm getting ahead of myself.
My first tape recorder was a real cheapie, and quite primitive. We're talking about the old reel-to-reel jobs — early sixties, just before cassettes fell into favor. This machine drove a takeup reel at a constant rotational speed to pull the tape past a record and playback head. The trouble is, as more and more tape wound around the takeup reel, its effective diameter increased, so the tape at the beginning of the reel traveled at a slower linear speed than tape did at the end.
This simple setup posed no problem as long as I recorded and played back tapes on the same machine. However, I noticed a big difference when I got my second reel-to-reel machine. The new one worked great, but when I played back tapes that had been recorded on the old machine, the speed was off. The beginning of tapes played too fast, and the end of tapes played too slow. Further study revealed the problem.
The new reel-to-reel machine used what I later learned is called a capstan drive. Capstans were used by most reel-to-reel tape recorders, and many years later I learned that they are used extensively in industry. They serve as an effective way to maintain constant linear speed of material winding onto or unwinding from a spool or reel.
Unlike my first tape recorder, the second one's motor didn't drive the tape takeup spindle directly. Instead, it drove the spindle through a torque-limiting clutch. The clutch transmitted just enough torque to spin the takeup reel and apply tension to the tape. The tape itself got pinched between a pair of rollers (the capstan) spinning at a constant speed. This allowed the tape to run at a constant speed, regardless of how much tape was on the takeup reel.
So even though this wasn't my first lesson in fluid power, it did provide an important lesson in drive design and motion control. I just didn't call it that.

Farm Program
The NMH farm is a small, diversified operation that has been a part of school life since 1879.
The farm is where many of our most cherished values — curiosity, hard work, creativity, and stewardship — come together. It's a science lab, a work project, the source of delicious fresh food for our dining hall, and even a place to practice a bit of entrepreneurship.
We grow berries, tomatoes, pumpkins, asparagus, herbs, flowers, and make lavender soaps, apple cider, cheese, jams, and maple products. The vegetables and milk go to the dining hall, and if your timing is right, you'll be able to sample homemade ice cream when you visit. But maple sugaring is our largest endeavor. Over spring break we collect thousands of gallons of sap from our own maple trees and boil it down to syrup, which we sell, along with other farm products, to raise funds for the school.
Order online or Download a mail-in order form.
Each term, roughly 35 students spend about four hours per week at the farm as part of their workjob requirement. Their duties might include harvesting asparagus and raspberries, pressing apples for cider, cleaning horse stalls, milking cows, cutting wood, building fences, or making cheese or jam. Students also can sign up to work on our sugaring operation for a six-day stretch over spring break. That's eight to 12 hours a day, collecting sap and making maple syrup, and it fulfills the work requirement for either the entire winter or spring term.
NMH Farm Facts
- The farm includes a student-built greenhouse, a sugar house, and a cider house.
- 35 students work on the farm each term.
- 26,000 gallons of sap are collected to make approximately 600 gallons of syrup per year.
- 2,000 gallons of cider are pressed annually.
- 600 quarts of raspberries are picked every fall.
- 36 cords of wood (4,608 cubic feet) are burned in the evaporator every sugaring season.
- 1/2 acre of vera lavender is distilled down to one quart of lavender oil.
- Three dairy cows produce 12 gallons of milk daily.
- Ten gallons of milk go into an eight-pound wheel of farm cheddar cheese.

For different hair extensions, you need to apply them in different ways. Click here to view more details.
Is it possible to fit the clip in hair myself?
Yes, it's very easy. You will receive full fitting instructions and it takes just minutes to fit them.
Can my hair extensions be straightened, curled, dyed?
Yes! JADA hair extensions are made with human hair. The hair can be colored. As a general rule it is easier to darken the hair than to lighten the hair. But blonde hair has been bleached more so more caution must be taken when working with blonde hair. Always use a good quality hair dye and test a small sample first. It is best to always use a heat protection product before applying heat to the extensions. Just like our own hair, the less heat you use the better.
How long do hair extensions usually last?
The extensions are human hair, so they last as long as you want them to. If you look after your hair it is not uncommon for quality extensions to last up to twelve months. If not treated with respect they will need to be replaced every three to six months. The more you protect them the longer they will last.
Will people be able to see if I am wearing hair extensions?
The beauty of human hair extensions is the natural look that can be achieved with them. Once fitted, they are a perfect blend with your own hair. But if you use synthetic hair extensions, they will look less natural.
What are your hours of operation?
Our hours of operation are Monday – Saturday, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm GMT+8.

My New Project (or Pipe Dream)
The Book of New Family Traditions by Meg Cox (link is to excerpts from Google Books)
A List of Ideas from Googol (I use the items as a way to jump start my memories, but they are meant as a guidline for creating new family traditions).
Family Routines and Rituals by Barbara H. Fiese (link is to excerpts from Google Books)
I'm still in the preliminary stage (as in, I-haven't-even-started stage) and am mainly just collecting resources at the moment, the three above being just the ones I found online today. I also plan on looking at mine and my mother's (my father doesn't have one that I know of) baby books because there are many traditions in there. What I have the project broken down into at this point is:
- Holiday traditions
- Everyday traditions
- Past traditions
- Seasonal traditions
- Weekly or monthly traditions
- Traditions based on where we grew up (for example, going to the local Farmer's Market every Wednesday)
- Miscellaneous

June 26, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Junior Joseph Roy-Mayhew, graduate Hana Adaniya and sophomore Amy Magnuson have been selected to the 2008 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America Track and Field/Cross Country Teams as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). MIT collected six national honors during the spring and closed out the year with an Institute record 11 Academic All-America honors.
Adaniya, who carries a perfect 5.0 grade point average into the second year of her graduate program in Masters of Engineering, was selected to the women's second team. Adaniya is a two-time NEWMAC All-Conference performer in the 5,000-meter run and was a provisional qualifier for the 2008 NCAA Championships in the 10,000m.
Despite missing the spring campaign because of injuries, Magnuson was still named to the women's third team. The 2008 NCAA Indoor Track and Field national runner-up in the 55-meter hurdles, the super sophomore has authored four school records. Last season, she was named NEWMAC Rookie of the Year while she secured the highest finish ever for an MIT women's track and field athlete at the 2007 NCAA Outdoor Championships with a second-place finish in the 100m hurdles. Magnuson carries a 4.9 GPA in Civil Engineering into her third year.
Roy-Mayhew, who owns a 4.9 GPA in Chemical and Biological Engineering, capped MIT's list of national academic recipients after being named to the men's third team. A team captain for the Engineers in cross country and track and field, Roy-Mayhew was the 2008 NEWMAC champion in the 5,000m and was MIT's top finisher at the NCAA Division III New England Regional Cross Country Championship.
Earning 11 Academic All-America honors during the 2007-08 seasons, MIT surpassed its previous record of 10 picks in 1999. MIT is the Division III all-time leader in Academic All-America honors with 145 accolades while the Engineers rank third across all NCAA divisions.
