Saginaw River Rear Range Light
Bay City Boat Lines offer free cruises up the river and pass the light house, you have to check there schedule for the free ones. If you do go try and get a early am cruise (best time to take pictures) morning sun shines on the lighthouse so there are no shadows.
In 1867, the Army Corp of Engineers arrived to dredge out the channel so that larger vessels could come through the river. When they were done, the light was no longer well placed to allow boats to navigate the entrance. Funding requests, negotiations for land, and contractural issues delayed work until 1876 when the new light could be erected in a Range Light configuration.
The Front Range Light was constructed atop a square timber crib just off the western river bank, and took the form of a 34 foot tall white painted pyramid timber frame structure similar in design to that being used for pierhead beacons throughout the district at the time. With its upper half sheathed, a small enclosed room was thus created beneath the gallery for the storage of oil and supplies, and in which the Keeper could seek shelter while tending the light during inclement weather conditions. The gallery was surrounded with an iron safety railing and capped with a prefabricated octagonal cast iron lantern. Seated atop a cast iron pedestal within the lantern, the Light's sparkling new fixed white Sixth Order Fresnel lens sat at a focal plane of 37 feet, sending its light 8 ½ miles out into the bay.
The rear range light was constructed 2300 feet south of the mouth of the river. Eleventh District Engineer Major Godfrey Weitzel's design for the combined rear range tower and dwelling was unique. Consisting of a large elevated concrete base supporting a combined brick dwelling and tower, the swampy ground in the chosen site first required the driving of timber piles deep into the ground to provide a solid foundation on which timber forms for the concrete base could be erected and filled. Atop this concrete foundation, a square two-story Cream City brick keeper's dwelling 26' 6" in plan was constructed. Integrated into the northwest corner of the dwelling, a tapered 53' tall square tower with double walls housed a set of prefabricated cast iron spiral stairs. Winding from the cellar to the lantern, these stairs also serving as the only means of access to the first and second floors by way of landings on each floor, each outfitted with tightly fitting arch-topped iron doors designed to stem the spread of fire between floors. A timber deck supported by timber columns encircled the dwelling at the first floor level, providing easy and dry access to all sides of the structure. The living quarters consisted of a kitchen, parlor and oil storage room on the first floor, and three bedrooms above. The tower was capped with a square iron gallery, supported by five cast iron corbels on each of its four sides. An octagonal cast iron lantern was installed at its center, with a fixed white Fourth Order Fresnel lens placed at a focal plane of 61 feet.
The light stayed active, and the residence for the Coast Guard facility until the 1970's when the Coast Guard Station was moved across the river in order to have more space. The station stayed empty until 1986 when Dow Chemical, who owned the surrounding land, purchased the facility and boarded it up.It is generally believed (but not well documented) that the Saginaw River lighthouse was the first place where Range Lights were installed.

Pay Per Click for Window & Door Companies
If you're looking for a pay per click company with a proven track record helping window and door companies measurably improve their PPC advertising performance, you've come to the right place!
Want more leads and booked jobs for your window and door business? If you're not testing and investing in pay per click (PPC) advertising, you're missing out. Savvy window and door contractors know that the key to getting more leads and booked jobs from the web is to maximize your first page real estate on search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo.
(image – top 5 sources of web leads from a BC client – google / cpc is pay per click advertising)
If you search Google for a keyword or keyword phrase relevant to your business and you don't see your website on the first page, you're choosing to send prospective customers to competing companies. Whether you want to increase window installation projects or replace more commercial doors, if you want to sell more, you need to be easily found on the first page of search results!
The Benefits of PPC Advertising for Window & Door Companies
Visibility & Revelance
The two biggest benefits of PPC advertising are controlled visibility and relevance. Traditional advertising, which many window and door companies continue to rely on, interrupts people that may or may not be interested or in the market for your product / service. And most people despise traditional advertising – they'll pay for things that are otherwise free – like the radio or TV – just to avoid commercials. Online marketing strategies like pay per click advertising, only puts your message or ad in front of people actively interested in it or ready to make a buying decision. The odds are extremely high that someone searching for a "window replacement companies in North Carolina" needs and is interested in finding company like yours!
Highly Controllable & Manageable ROI
Search engine marketing (SEM) is comprised of pay per click (PPC) advertising and search engine optimization (SEO). Many window and door contractors make the mistake of favoring one strategy over the other. It is not uncommon for a contractor to hear from a friend that SEO is better than PPC and refrain from any further investigations of PPC advertising. Blue Corona is one of the top SEO, award-winning companies for window and door companies in the country and we can say, without question, that the window and and door companies having the most success marketing their businesses online use both strategies.
Pay per click advertising offers several advantages over SEO:
- PPC advertising offers (near) immediate results; SEO can take weeks or months to start working
- PPC advertising is nearly 100% controllable; no SEO company can promise you a certain ranking
- The most accurate keyword tool (data that can be used for an SEO campaign) is a 'live' PPC campaign
- The return on investment (ROI) from PPC advertising can be far more easily controlled than an SEO campaign
How Blue Corona Helps Window & Door Companies with PPC
For all pay per click (PPC) advertising's advantages, there are some potential drawbacks. Extra time is not something many contractors have. PPC platforms like Google AdWords and Microsoft's Ad Center are fairly complex (and this is being polite). While it is true that many window and door companies generate awesome profits via their pay per click advertising campaigns, inexperienced newcomers can (and often do) waste thousands of dollars.
Blue Corona has a proven pay per click setup and management system specifically designed for window and door companies.
Unlike other pay per click companies, Blue Corona started as a measurement and ad tracking company. Some of you are probably saying, "so what?" Well, better data equals better results – guaranteed! Our PPC management team has tools and technologies our competitors don't. This provides us with never-before-seen insights into your account performance.
For example, wouldn't it be nice to know which windor or door keywords generate the best phone leads? We track that and adjust your account settings to emphasize the keywords that produce the best results!
Whether you already have an existing PPC campaign or not, we can help! If you have an existing campaign, our team will start with an pay per click audit. We'll show you changes to make that will measurably improve your PPC performance and ROI and we're not talking about an incremental increase. Our recommended changes will more than offset the price of the audit or the PPC audit is free!
If you're new to pay per click advertising and you'd prefer to walk a bit before we start jogging together, drop us a line today and get a free analysis of your website along with a demo of how PPC advertising can help your window and door business!

Iowa Masters in Educational Technology on Campus Degrees | Education Technology & Online Learning Programs
With the advancements in online learning programs and instructional technology, teachers and digitally savvy professionals alike may find that earning a Masters in Educational Technology on Campus may prepare them for a variety of careers that are springing up as a result of the computer age. While learning has been around for centuries, we live in an e-learning age where if we cannot commute to a school, we are able to use a virtual classroom. Teachers no longer have to rely on textbooks, as even books are accessible on tablets, and online libraries make research accessible wherever we have Internet. Even for young children who learn through play and animation, video games are becoming more popular and accessible.
If you are interested in how to integrate technology into a classroom, design the instructional platforms themselves, or lead others by training them to use current online learning methods, an Educational Technology Masters Program has much to offer, depending on your interests.
Is A Masters in Educational Technology on Campus Program Right For Me?
While online programs may work for someone who has reliable technology and is an independent learner, studying on a college campus may have other things to offer. Earning your masters degree in educational technology within a university setting may provide the most interaction and networking out of all the learning formats. You also may get to participate in campus activities and make use of the facilities. Some classes may also be scheduled in evenings or weekends to accommodate the working professional.
If you are ready to search and location is important to you, use the city, state or country tabs to yield listings for masters in educational and instructional technology programs in your desired area. Otherwise, you are able to just scroll through and click a tab to request more information from each school. A real plus with so many choices! Some of these might include masters programs with a particular specialization, such as teaching to special needs students, K-12 students, or preparing for a leadership role in technology management. Others may focus on the design process. For instance, you might review degrees such as an MS in Educational Technology, MSE in Instructional Technology, MS in Instructional Design and Technology, and MEd in Educational Media & Educational Technology.
Choosing a Masters in Educational Technology on Campus Degree
Are you interested in planning, designing and teaching online curriculums? Are you a current educator who wants to learn how to integrate technology in the classroom? Are you ready to specialize on bringing online learning to a particular population, whether in adult education or teaching K- 12 students? Are you more interested in how to design instructional technology? Make sure to ask questions of the school to learn more about whether the focus of the particular degree you are interested in matches your goals.
In general a Master of Education in Educational Technology would involve learning instructional theory and instructional design with a technology focused curriculum. This might benefit teachers, or students who are interested in managing technology within a school. By comparison, MS or MA in Education Technology students may come from diverse education backgrounds, some of who may be focused on the information technology aspect of instructional computer-based development.
Explore a Potential Career in Educational Technology
Training and Development Managers are professionals who plan, direct or coordinate the training and development activities of an organization. They are also called Development Manager, Director of Education, Director of Educational Services, Director of Staff Development, Education and Development Manager, Learning Manager, Manager of Staff Training and Development, Training and Development Coordinator, Training Director, or Training Manager depending on their role. The main industries employing these workers includes[i]:
- Professional, Scientific and technical services
- Management of Companies and Enterprises
- Finance and Insurance
- Health Care and Social Assistance
- Educational Services
While a bachelor's degree may be appropriate for some jobs, some employers may prefer a candidate with a Master's degree with a concentration in training and development and someone who has studied instructional design, behavioral psychology, or educational psychology. With technology continuing to play a larger role in training and development, a growing number of organizations seek candidates who have a background in information technology or computer science.
This is a field that continues to grow, especially since organizations are using social media, mobile learning and other digital platforms in their training. In May of 2012, the median annual wage for training and development managers was $95,400 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics[ii].
Ready To Pursue A Masters in Educational Technology on Campus Degree?
From the classroom to the boardroom, web based programs and multimedia platforms help make learning accessible to different groups through a variety of methods.

Slow Cooker Mexican Lasagna - And a Giveaway!
A reporter from the local Jewish newspaper called me yesterday afternoon, asking if he could do a feature story on me and my new cookbook! Whaaat? Like I'd say no? Oy! I'm so verclempt I could plotz! To celebrate this auspicious occasion, today's post is a recipe from the cookbook just for you, Dear Reader, as a token of my appreciation for reading my blog all these years. Or for the first time. In any event, you guys are the best!
Oh, and I am also giving away a free copy of my cookbook to one lucky Dear Reader! Such a deal! See below for the gory details.
I made a batch of slow cooker Mexican Lasagna yesterday. I planned to follow the recipe exactly as printed in the cookbook. I really did. But for some reason the local Try-n-Save didn't have corn tortillas in stock. Not any in the Mexican food aisle. None in the dairy case. None. Zero. Zilch. They did have several brands of taco shells (which don't work as well because straight out of the box they are difficult to bend without breaking) and they did carry taco chips (which contain too much oil and salt and tend to get mushy in contact with sauce). But the store did have around 20 different brands, varieties and sizes of flour tortillas. I reluctantly picked up a package of fajita-sized and slinked (slunked?) home. Turned out, fajita-sized tortillas fit perfectly in my round slow cooker. Although I prefer tortillas of the corn persuasion for this recipe, the use of floured can be served to family and friends without shame.
To let you know how good this recipe is, theHubby ate everything I plopped on his plate without picking out any black beans and black olives. And he normally hates black beans and black olives. Which shows you how delicious this is. Or how well the spices disguise the taste of the beans and olives. So if people in your household insist that they hate a particular ingredient or two (and it won't literally kill them), make a batch as is and quietly slide some in front of them. I almost guarantee it'll get shoveled down.
Unlike the cold leftover rice required to make fried rice, the rice here can be prepared while you are pulling together all the ingredients while simultaneously cradling the phone between yours shoulder and head speaking to a newspaper reporter (avoid dropping the phone into the boiling water ... just sayin' ...). When done (with the rice cooking part of the equation), leave the pot cover off a few minutes to let steam and excess moisture escape. No need to chill (neither you nor the rice).
There's also no need to line the slow cooker with foil, even tho I did. Leftovers were to be transported to another house and it was easier this way to lift up the dinner remains and wrap it without too much damage to its appearance. One day I'll try out those liners, until then foil rules.
Besides the tortilla thing, I did another unintended cheat ... since I forgot to pick up enchilada sauce and didn't have much time to make an easy from-scratch batch by the time I finally around to starting dinner, I subbed with a handy bottle of smooth taco sauce. With everything else thrown into the slow cooker, no one noticed. Please don't hate me.
Mexican Lasagna
Adapted from The Everything Kosher Slow Cooker Cookbook
Serves 8
Cooking spray
1 Tbl. olive oil
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 medium-sized onion, peeled and diced
4 tsp. minced garlic (about 4 cloves)
1 Tbl.chili powder
2 tsp. paprika
1/2 Tbl. ground cumin
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup sliced black olives
2 cups cooked rice
1 1/2 cups roasted (medium) or regular (mild) salsa verde
3 fajita-sized flour tortillas
1 package shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup smooth taco sauce
1 (12 oz.) bag frozen corn, defrosted
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves (for garnish)
1/2 cup sour cream (for garnish)
Lightly spray the inside of a 4-quart slow cooker with the cooking spray; set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomatoes, onions and garlic.Saute for 5 minutes or until onions are softened. Stir in chili powder, paprika, and cumin. Saute for an additional minute to bring out the flavor in the spices. Stir in the black beans, olives, and cooked rice. Remove from heat and set aside.
Spread half of the salsa verde along tthe bottom of the prepared slow cooker. Place one tortilla on top of the sauce. Spread half of the rice mixture over the tortilla. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the rice.
Spread all the corn evenly over the sauce. Top with remaining rice mixture. Place the last tortilla over the rice mixture. Pour the remaining salsa verde evenly over the tortillas, followed by the remaining cheese.
Cover and cook on high for 2 ½ to 3 hours, or until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is bubbling.
Sprinkle each serving with cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired, before serving.
Oh, yeah, the cookbook! I have a copy of my new cookbook to send to a Dear Reader. But first, the commercial.
As you would expect, The Everything Kosher Slow Cooker Cookbook includes traditional Jewish recipes, such as that quintessential shabbat dish cholent (3 different versions!), and chicken soup (with noodles or matzoh balls). But there are plenty of other traditional recipes, such as Tzimmes, Short Ribs, Hummus, Eggplant Caviar, Stuffed Cabbage, Stuffed Breast of Veal, and Gefilte Fish.
This delicious collection of 300 recipes also includes a bunch you wouldn't expect to find in a kosher cookbook, such as Swedish Meatballs, and Hot and Sour Soup (okay, maybe this one).
Included are dairy recipes, such as Farro Salad with Feta, and Rice Pudding with Cherry Sauce (my favorite in the book). Quite a few others are either parve or vegan, such as Curried Lentils. Some even offer simple substitutes to make them vegan-friendly, such as Meatless Moussaka.
The fine print:
US addresses only. Comments must be submitted below by 11:59 pm EST on December 9, 2012. The winner will be randomly selected and contacted via email within 48 days of the closing date/time, and will have 72 hours to respond before I reluctantly select another Dear Reader. This contest is sponsored by me. I received this copy of the cookbook along with a few others as part of author compensation. Most of the other copies I received have already been or will be be given to relatives, friends and others who have helped in the book's creation.
Required entry:
Comment below on what you plan to cook for Chanukah. If you don't celebrate Chanukah, then just name a specific recipe from this blog site. No anonymous comments please; I need a way to contact you if you are selected.
Want up to three extra entries?

Phil Stott
February 06, 2014
The Congressional Budget Office predicted earlier this week that one of the side-effects of the Affordable Care Act would be to eliminate the equivalent of 2 million full-time jobs, almost entirely as a result of "a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply."
Regardless of the politics of the issue, that concept--workers being able to choose to supply less labor--struck me as the latest example of a growing trend of employees having the opportunity to push down on the "life" end of the work-life balance. Coming on the back of years of productivity gains for employers—often achieved through existing employees working longer hours even as wage growth has stalled—it is a trend that employees would likely say is overdue, and equally likely to pick up speed as the unemployment picture continues to improve.
Overwork: A Sign of Success?
Interestingly, it's those at the top of the income scale that may have the most to gain from such a trend. In a recent piece for the New Yorker, James Surowiecki described the generational shift in working hours for those at the top and bottom of the earning scale:
"Thirty years ago, the best-paid workers in the U.S. were much less likely to work long days than low-paid workers were. By 2006, the best paid were twice as likely to work long hours as the poorly paid, and the trend seems to be accelerating. A 2008 Harvard Business School survey of a thousand professionals found that ninety-four per cent worked fifty hours or more a week, and almost half worked in excess of sixty-five hours a week. Overwork has become a credential of prosperity."
Whether long hours are the price of success, the reason for it, or both, few would argue that working excessive hours over sustained periods makes for happy employees—data from Vault's consulting survey, for example, shows a reverse correlation between hours worked and satistfaction with the number of hours worked, as well as a sharp drop in overall job satisfaction once the average week begins creeping over 80 hours. (FYI: those spikes at 100+ hours are the average of a very small pool of responses compared to the overall set, and are most likely a statistical quirk):
Are you getting enough sleep?
And there may be more at stake than your satisfaction, or the increased likelihood of making a mistake due to tiredness. According to new research recently reported in the New York Times, lack of sleep—a common side-effect of long working hours—may have long-term negative effects for the health of your brain.
According to preliminary results from research on mice, the brain is most effective at clearing out "waste" from mental activity during sleeping—while the research has yet to be replicated on humans, the study on mice found that a waking brain was only 5 percent as effective at flushing its waste as a sleeping one.
And the cost of not flushing that waste may be more substantial than the price of an extra shot of espresso in your morning latte: according to another piece of research in the same Times article, a brain that doesn't get a thorough "cleaning" risks "degeneration of key neurons involved in alertness and proper cortical function and a buildup of proteins associated with aging and neural degeneration." Among those proteins is one—beta amyloid—that is associated with Alzheimer's disease.
While it's important not to overstate the importance of such research at this stage—the Times article notes, for example, that the medical community hasn't yet figured out whether beta amyloid causes Alzheimer's, or whether the disease causes buildup of the protein, or both, or neither—it does offer the opportunity to consider your own habits, and to weigh the potential risks and rewards of foregoing your shuteye on a regular basis.
While one of the researchers interviewed for the Times piece jokes about developing a pill to eliminate the need to sleep, until such a miracle arrives, the need to strike a balance between our working and non-working lives has never been clearer, and scarcely has it been so difficult. The question of whether the green shoots of change that we're seeing—including investment banks cutting back on associate hours—can take root in the coming years has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of employees the world over. And the key to that lies in the continued profitability of businesses that successfully promote strong-work-life balance policies.
What's your take on the work-life equation? Would you welcome extra time away from work, or prefer the ability to eradicate sleep so you could cross more items off your to-do list? Let us know in the comment section below, or on Twitter or Facebook.

High Uintas Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the High Uintas Wilderness (map) in 1984 and it now has a total of 453,860 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Utah and is managed by the Forest Service.
DescriptionLocated in northeastern Utah, the Uinta Mountains were named for the Uintaat Indians, early relatives of the modern Ute Tribe. The High Uintas Wilderness envelops the wild core of this massive mountain range. Characterized by the highest peaks in Utah, countless lakes, and a unique alpine ecosystem, it is among the nation's most outstanding wilderness areas. The High Uintas Wilderness is administered jointly by the Ashley and Wasatch-Cache National Forests. The Uinta Mountains were carved by glaciers from an immense uplift of Precambrian rock. Some of this rock is exposed as colorful quartzite and shales. The main crest of the Uinta Mountains runs west to east for more than 60 miles, rising over 6,000 feet above the Wyoming and Uinta Basins to the north and south. Massive secondary ridges extend north and south from the crest of the range, framing glacial basins and canyons far below. This rugged expanse of peaks and flat-top mountains is the largest alpine area in the Intermountain West and is the setting for Kings Peak, the highest peak in Utah. Hundreds of picturesque lakes, streams, and meadows lie within sculpted basins. Cold, clear rivers plunge from the basins into deep canyons that form the headwaters of Utah's major rivers. The Uinta Mountains rise from 7,500 to 13,528 feet at the summit of Kings Peak, offering diverse habitat for a wide variety of flora and fauna. Above treeline, tundra plant communities thrive in the harsh climate of the highest altitudes. Thick forests of Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, and lodgepole pine blanket the land below treeline. These forests are interrupted by park-like meadows and lush wetlands. In the lower elevations, aspen groves and countless mixed species offer contrast to the scene. The Uinta Mountains are home to: elk, mule deer, moose, mountain goat, coyote, black bear, bighorn sheep, ptarmigan, river otter, pine marten, cougar, and 75 percent of Utah's bird species, among many others. The High Uintas Wilderness boasts 545 miles of trail, which may be accessed from a number of trailheads surrounding the wilderness near the gateway communities of Duchesne, Roosevelt, and Kamas, UT and Evanston and Mountain View, WY. This extensive network of trails leads visitors deep into the wilderness, through thick forests, past rushing streams and placid lakes, to sweeping alpine vistas below majestic peaks. Opportunities for exploration are endless.

Sean Brock 's project is larger than merely creating a great restaurant—he's exploring the roots of Southern food and fighting against the stereotype that it's just heavy, fattening, and cheap. He's working with producers like Glenn Roberts at Anson Mills to revive heirloom grains native to the South so he can cook classic dishes and have them taste as they once did. He's so committed to studying Southern food that he doesn't just explore cooking in the South; he's even gone to West Africa to understand how those traditions came to America.
"Husk is just an amazing restaurant, and it's defining a regional cuisine. It's about looking at what's around you and not just thinking what you do has to be classic French cuisine anymore. Sean not only brought the cooking to the forefront, he also brought the producers, too. It's not just doing food from the South; he's doing historical food, which I think is pretty brilliant." —Chris Shepherd

In 2001, Alain Passard shook up the fine-dining world when he removed meat from his three-Michelin-star restaurant's menu, focusing on the finest vegetables instead in his tasting menu. Meat has made its way back into his restaurant, but his vegetable-centric cooking has inspired chefs around the world to approach their craft in new ways.
"Really, to me, the best food I've ever eaten, and my favorite chef. The best restaurant experiences I've ever had in my life are at L'Arpège. His cuisine encompasses no trickery. There's incredible technique but all techniques that he's mastered and created on his own. That level of mastery of craft and knowledge of ingredients is something that everyone should aspire to." —Michael Cimarusti
"L'Arpège was this incredibly revered bastion of classic fine dining and French cuisine. And then it changed everything and went to a vegetable-only program. And that put vegetables at a place on menus that it hadn't been before. It really ushered in this new time where cooking with vegetables and less protein and less meat and less fish was a global trend." —Corey Lee

Joël Robuchon has built a worldwide culinary empire, collecting accolades like "Chef of the Century" and more Michelin stars than any other chef along the way. His technique is lauded by his peers, and he's also helped influence the layout of high-end restaurants. Admittedly, sushi counters have been doing it long before he did, but Robuchon helped bring that chef's counter concept to Western dining culture.

With the creation of the "Fédération des Plus Beaux Villages de la Terre", constituted by «the Most Beautiful Villages» Clubs of France, Belgium, Canada, Italy and Japan - the international network which preserves and promotes villages and small towns, so far cut out from the routes of international tourism but rich in history, architecture and art - the foundations have been laid to start the project to set up an international network of the national networks of the most beautiful villages of countries overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in which the thousand-year-old cultural heritage of Mediterranean peoples has settled.
"" Club has decided to entrust the town of Cisternino the task of coordinating the project because it is situated in the Apulia Region, which is the only Region that has officially instituted a Mediterranean authority department.
The objective of the project is to promote in the Mediterranean Area the creation of networks similar to those already existing in Italy (""), in Spain ("and in France so that the new national networks in countries such as Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Malta, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Algeria, Morocco, Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Palestine can become members of the .
The project aims at building in each country a network of coastal villages and small towns (located at a maximum distance of two-hour-journey from the coast) , that have a historical, artistic and architectural heritage certifiable through a quality paper validated by the Federation of Les Plus Beaux Villages de la Terre, and that are willing to subscribe a :
1) Preservation and improvement of the historic centre of old towns, enhancement of the original settlement and of monuments of high value;
2) Protection of the environment and fight against unauthorised building and the consumption of land;
3) Safeguard of local agroindustrial products and agricultural or fishing planning;
4) Preservation of material culture (festivals, traditions, special events etc…);
5) Efficient and sufficient public services to guarantee a good life-style to residents;
6) Best practices exchange and problem sharing with associated villages.
Furthermore, we like to notice that the promotion of a network of the most beautiful villages in the Mediterranean area is very important both for geopolitical reasons and for economic development, because
a. the Mediterranean Area is the most important touristic area in the world;
b. there is a special need to promote the collaboration between Northern and Southern, Eastern and Western countries overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, which, in our opinion, is of vital importance to maintaining good relationships between States and to share with poorer countries the Know-how to run autonomously the architectural, environmental and landscape heritage and the touristic potential.
The project has already gained some important achievements:
October 26, 2013 - 1st International Conference in Cisternino.
6 to 8 June 2014 - Working in Crete with the presence of mayors from Turkey, Palestine, Cyprus, as well as from Crete and Italy.
June 25, 2014 - Signing of a memorandum of understanding agreement between the municipality of Cisternino, the Association of "The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy" and the Region of Puglia - the Mediterranean, with the aim of developing international cooperation in the cultural sector for the promotion of the territories in the countries of the Mediterranean basin.
17 October 2014 - 2 International Conference in Cisternino with the presence of representatives from Crete, Croatia, Greece, Israel, Italy, Malta, Palestine and Turkey.
2014 - establishment of the network of "The most beautiful villages" of Palestine.
16 to 19 October 2015 – 3 International Conference in Cisternino with the presence of representatives from Croatia, Greece, Italy, Jordan, Palestine, Slovenia and Turkey.
The International Conference of Cisternino, because of its importance and relevance, in recent years has received the award of the Medal of the President of the Italian Republic, under the patronage of the Prime Minister´s Office and the Ministry of Economic Development, as well as the membership of various National and Regional organizations and represented an important step for the realization of the project, thanks to the work carried out in synergy between various and numerous institutions.
The project is working now for planned, as in the past, jointly by the town of Cisternino, the Club of "The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy" and Puglia Region. The 4 International Conference is going to take place on 28 – 29 – 30 October 2016 in Cisternino, Puglia, Italy (please see attached program), where the following aspects will be enhanced:
· examination of the project related to the construction of National networks for "The Most Beautiful Villages" in the Mediterranean Basin
· The Routes of peace of the Mediterranean basin: the role of the villages as instruments for social integration;
· The Beauty Economies and touristic hosting the Routes and the EuroVelo Cycle Routes in the Euro-Mediterranean basin, marketing tools to promote the area and eco-friendly tourism;
· Co-design best practice for the urban exploitation of the villages;
· Creation of a new strategic partnership with selected international countries, regions and villages in areas of mutual interest.

Two new studies show that the thalamus -- the small central brain structure often characterized as a mere pit-stop for sensory information on its way to the cortex -- is heavily involved in sensory processing, and is an important conductor of the brain's complex orchestra.
Published in Nature Neuroscience and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , the two studies from the laboratory of Murray Sherman both demonstrate the important role of the thalamus in shaping what humans see, hear and feel.
"The thalamus really hasn't been a part of people's thinking of how cortex functions," said Sherman, professor and chairman of neurobiology at the University of Chicago Medical Center. "It's viewed as a way to get information to cortex in the first place and then its role is done. But the hope is these kinds of demonstrations will start putting the thalamus on the map."
When light hits the retina of the eye, that information makes a stopover in the thalamus before being sent to the visual cortex of the brain to be processed. Similarly, auditory and somatosensory (touch) information is routed through the thalamus before traveling to cortex for more complex processing.
One set of experiments, conducted by Brian Theyel and Daniel Llano in Sherman's laboratory and published online Sunday December 6 in Nature Neuroscience , used a novel imaging technique to demonstrate how the thalamus remains a part of the conversation even after that initial "relay."
The flavoprotein autofluorescence imaging technique, developed with University of Chicago Assistant Professor of Neurobiology Naoum Issa, allowed the researchers to observe neuronal activity in a specially-prepared mouse brain slice that preserved connections between thalamus and somatosensory cortex.
Once sensory information reaches the cortex, it is thought to remain segregated there as it moves from primary cortex to secondary cortex and higher-order areas. But when Theyel severed the direct connection between primary and secondary cortical regions, stimulating primary somatosensory cortex still activated secondary cortex as well as the thalamus (see related links for video; more at Nature website), suggesting a robust pathway from cortex to thalamus and back. Only when the thalamus itself was blocked did activation of secondary cortex fail, providing further evidence for the pathway.
The observation that at least a portion of sensory information passes back through the thalamus on its travels between cortical areas refutes the notion of the thalamus as a passive, one-time relay station, Theyel and Sherman said.

Overproduction, discounting and the hegemony of Big Retail keep our clients awake at night
The single biggest long-term issue facing clients in most industries is overcapacity. In fact, it is difficult to find many cases where the opposite is true. Tequila, perhaps, where it takes seven years to grow the herb. Or high fashion companies like Rolex and Hermes, where historically supply is limited – although in the current fiscal crisis conspicuous consumption is less acceptable. It is also true that commodity-based industries such as oil and steel faced undercapacity issues for some time, being overwhelmed by Indian and Chinese demand. But most sectors are facing problems similar to those in the car and truck industry, where companies can make 80 million units and consumers buy 60 million.

Overcapacity issues are particularly difficult to deal with in politically-sensitive industries like automobiles. Governments are not enthusiastic about shutting down capacity and increasing unemployment. They also like to increase capacity by offering inducements to locate new production facilities in development regions. Thus the best thing for the European car industry would probably have been for GM to absorb Fiat's production capability. But Silvio Berlusconi, Italy's Prime Minister, could not countenance more unemployment in the Mezzogiorno. The same issue faced the British government with Rover – particularly during an election – resulting in subsidising workers to stay in work during the campaign and it faces the Obama administration with GM and Chrysler today.
The critical issue in the 19th and 20th centuries was how to produce goods and services, and to make sure they reached the consumer. In the 21st century, it is convincing the consumer to purchase products, services or brands in the first place. In such circumstances, differentiation becomes critically important and differentiation is what our business is about.
Historically, maintaining technical or product differences was easier. Today, keeping a technological lead is difficult. Product life cycles are being shortened and brand cycles lengthened. Again, an example from the car industry. Less than a decade ago it took, perhaps, five years to design, produce and market a car. Today, it can be done in 18 months. Facing faster and more aggressive Japanese, South Korean and German manufacturers, the Americans have been obliged to play catch-up. In future, Chinese and Indian manufacturers will stimulate further response.
So intangible differentiation is becoming more important. Psychological, lifestyle and emotional differences are significant. The suit or dress you wear, the car you drive, the holidays you take, how you spend your leisure time – all say a lot about your personality and preferences. Some say such intangible appeal is immoral or at least unsavoury. Preying on people's vulnerabilities, it is argued, is unethical. Not so. We believe that fulfilling people's desires or dreams is almost always justifiable and satisfying for the consumer – and it is a key role for the advertising and marketing services industry.

There is a better solution than starting every virtual host in a seperate instance, which is wasting ressources.
You can set open_basedir dynamically for every virtual host you have, so every PHP script on a virtual host is jailed to its document root.
<VirtualHost www.example.com>
ServerName www.example.com
DocumentRoot /www-home/example.com
<Location />
php_admin_value open_basedir \ "/www-home/example.com/:/usr/lib/php/"
If you set safe_mode on, then the script can only use binaries in given directories (make a special dir only with the binaries your customers may use).
Now no user of a virtual host can read/write/modify the data of another user on your machine.

Group reports Bigfoot sighting in North Carolina
MCDOWELL COUNTY, N.C. (WLOS) — A local group that says it tracks Bigfoot in the North Carolina mountains reported a sighting over the weekend in McDowell County.
The group has a Facebook page called Bigfoot911.
Leader John Bruner, of Marion, says the sighting happened Friday at 11 p.m. in a wooded area. He says a team of seven people was out at the time scattering glow sticks when someone - or something - threw rocks back at them.
He says they saw a large animal covered in hair that took off running.
Bigfoot911 formed three years ago and claims to have extensive evidence that the beast exists.

Today was St. Patrick's Day, a holiday I had completely forgotten about until Jafta stumbled into the living room at about 11:30pm last night while we were watching SNL. "Can I help you guys hide the gold coins?" he asked. The WHAT? "The gold coins. I know the leprechauns aren't real. I know it's you, like Santa. So I want to help you. I can make the leprechaun trap, too." We told Jafta to go to bed and then looked at each other with exasperation. Gold coins? A leprechaun trap? Is he serious? When I was a kid we celebrated St. Patrick's Day by wearing something green. THE END. I had noticed that over the past few years, our kids were getting some grander ideas from school. But I didn't think that we needed to replicate these experiences at home. Apparently, the children believed that we did. All of them woke up and came into our room like it was Christmas morning.
Did a leprechaun visit? Can we search for him? Did he leave a pot of gold? Let's go find the gold coins! I bet he left chocolate!
So. Many. Expectations. All of which were dashed. I had four seriously disappointed and grumpy kids on my hands. At one point India went into full-blown meltdown mode, kicking random items in her room and yelling about what a LAME HOLIDAY this was. And in my overly-tired impatient state, I might have yelled back, "YOU'RE RIGHT. This IS a lame holiday. It was never my favorite. All we did was wear green. That's all we're doing today. I'm sorry if you do more at school. That's not what we do here. I don't know where you are hearing this stuff but it's not happening here." People. St. Patrick's Day is supposed to be a "phone-it-in" holiday. Yes, I've turned into a bit of a grinch, but SERIOUSLY WITH THE HOLIDAY OVERKILL. As if Christmas wasn't already hard enough as a parent, someone also decided that we have to move an Elf around every day, into creative tableaus? And then someone else decided that the Advent Calendar was A Thing beyond a simple religious observation and now involves some kind of gift each day leading up to Christmas? And less than a month after having survived that whole mess, we've got Valentine's Day which has became The New Halloween, because God forbid you send a simple store-bought card. You'd better include some candy or your child will be shunned. Shunned! One of my kids came home with not just a candy from each class, but a WHOLE FREAKING GOODIE BAG from each student. Hey, overachieving parent who started this goodie bag trend . . . I've got a message for you. It's a homemade Valentine card that Karis made. I'd originally pulled it out of the rotation, but I'd like to use it now. And then, I think I've got a break for a month BUT NO. Surprise! We've got 100 Days of School to celebrate. And by "celebrate" I mean the kids sticking 100 things on a hat. And by "the kids" I mean me. And suddenly Pi Day is a thing? My children expect to be served pie because someone at school told them so? And Dr. Suess's birthday and Johnny Appleseed Day . . . all things I didn't even know existed but am now being asked how we'll be celebrating at home. And do not even get me started on what Easter has become. When I was a kid my mom went to the store and bought us a new dress and a pre-made plastic Easter basket for $8.99. THE END. There was candy and we loved it. Maybe we would die some eggs from a kit sitting in the check-out lane at Target. They would look like crap. Now we've got to leave footprints from the Easter Bunny and make artful, Pinterest-worthy eggs with stencils and ikat prints and probably some that are hombre. I don't like the feeling of disappointing my kids. But I refuse to give into this holiday overkill. I'm overwhelmed enough as it is. Today I gave all of my kids a bath. We read with each of them for the recommended 20 minutes. We reviewed our Math Facts. We practiced guitar. We sat together at the table and ate a meal that was NOT procured at a drive-thru. We played outside. Most days, I'm struggling to achieve all these things. I can't have these haphazard, once-monthly overblown holidays take over my life. I can go big for Christmas and Easter. That's all I can handle. But I can't do this alone. Fellow parents . . . teachers . . . sunday school workers . . . I beseech you. BRING IT DOWN A NOTCH. Y'all are setting up expectations that I just can't maintain. Wouldn't we all be just a little happier if we returned to the slacker days of store-bought valentines and kit-dyed eggs and JUST WEARING A GREEN SHIRT AND CALLING IT A DAY? For the sake of overwhelmed parents like me, I beg you. Stop the madness. ADDENDUM: Obviously this post has struck a nerve with many of you . . . according to my stat counter, about one out of every four readers shared this on facebook, so I guess I'm not alone in my overwhelm. But some commenters have taken offense, so I want to add some clarification: I am not judging what other moms do in their home or asking that everyone stop celebrating/crafting/creating in whatever way they find fulfilling. You like doing Elf on the Shelf? Great! Knock yourself out. I'm not trying to tear you down. This post was about what's being presented in public – at school, church, etc. I'm not passing judgment but rather sharing my own process. It wasn't an "us vs. them" but more of a collective plea that we all (myself included) simplify a bit in terms of what we do in public spaces. This wasn't about finger-pointing at a certain demographic of moms (with the exception of the inventor of the goodie bag WHICH WAS A JOKE), but more of a "we're all in this together, let's simplify!" manifesto. Trust me, I have been prime offender at going overboard. (Obnoxious homemade Valentines? Guilty as charged!) Please don't read this as another mommy war because that wasn't the intention. I don't care what other moms do at home – just sharing my exasperation at the expectations that my kids have based on the things presented to them in our culture. Ultimately this was a critique of American culture, not of other mothers. This post was meant to be a funny, sarcastic lament OF MY OWN LIFE, heavy on the sarcasm and hyperbole. If it doesn't resonate, no big deal. If you are feeling offended, that wasn't my intent. But it might be wise to consider why the offense is there, and in what ways we all (myself included) might be contributing to a culture in which mothers feel like the need to "do more" is distracting from the main event: quality time with our kids.

I'm thinking about buying a Flip-Pal for myself for my birthday. Do I really need the package with the Creative Suite Craft CD? I'll be using it to scan genealogy docs & photos, not interested in scrapbooking.

MOBILE, Ala. (WPMI) — The Washington Post reports a woman has accused Roy Moore of having sexual contact with her when she was 14 and he was 32.
Moore was an Assistant District Attorney in Etowah County, Ala. at the time of the alleged encounter.
Leigh Corfman says she was with her mother when she met Moore outside the Etowah County Courthouse.
Three other women told the Washington Post Moore approached them when they were teenagers and Moore was an adult, although none of them allege sexual contact beyond kissing.
Moore decried the report as "fake news" telling the paper, "These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign."
The report was published just one month before the U.S. Senate special election in Alabama in which Moore is running against Democrat Doug Jones.
The Moore campaign released the following statement to NBC 15:
The Judge Roy Moore Campaign for U.S. Senate issued a statement responding to yet another baseless political attack by the Washington Post, a paper that has endorsed Judge Moore's opponent. Moore campaign chair Bill Armistead released the following statement on Thursday afternoon:
"Judge Roy Moore has endured the most outlandish attacks on any candidate in the modern political arena, but this story in today's Washington Post alleging sexual impropriety takes the cake. National liberal organizations know their chosen candidate Doug Jones is in a death spiral, and this is their last ditch Hail Mary.
"The Washington Post has already endorsed the Judge's opponent, and for months, they have engaged in a systematic campaign to distort the truth about the Judge's record and career and derail his campaign. In fact, just two days ago, the Foundation for Moral Law sent a retraction demand to the Post for the false stories they wrote about the Judge's work and compensation. But apparently, there is no end to what the Post will allege.
"The Judge has been married to Kayla for nearly 33 years, has 4 children, and 5 grandchildren. He has been a candidate in four hotly-contested statewide political contests, twice as a gubernatorial candidate and twice as a candidate for chief justice. He has been a three-time candidate for local office, and he has been a national figure in two ground-breaking, judicial fights over religious liberty and traditional marriage. After over 40 years of public service, if any of these allegations were true, they would have been made public long before now.
"Judge Roy Moore is winning with a double-digit lead. So it is no surprise, with just over four weeks remaining, in a race for the U.S. Senate with national implications, that the Democratic Party and the country's most liberal newspaper would come up with a fabrication of this kind.
"This garbage is the very definition of fake news and intentional defamation."
On Thursday, Judge Moore called the allegations by the Post "completely false and a desperate political attack."
The Doug Jones campaign issued the following brief statement:
Roy Moore needs to answer these serious charges.
On Friday afternoon, Judge Roy Moore issued another statement:
"Yesterday, I made a statement that the allegations described in a Washington Post article against me about sexual impropriety were false.
"It has been a tough 24 hours because my wife and I were blindsided by an article based on a lie supported by innuendo.
"It seems that in the political arena, to say that something is not true is simply not good enough.
"So let me be clear.
"I have never provided alcohol to minors, and I have never engaged in sexual misconduct. As a father of a daughter and a grandfather of five granddaughters, I condemn the actions of any man who engages in sexual misconduct not just against minors but against any woman.
"I also believe that any person who has been abused should feel the liberty to come forward and seek protection.
"I know that a lot of people wonder why this story was written. Why would women say these things if they are not true? I can't fully answer that because as much as I have disagreed vehemently on political issues with many people over the years, I cannot understand the mentality of using such a dangerous lie to try to personally destroy someone.
"As a former Judge and administer of the law, I take the protection of our innocent as one of my most sacred callings. False allegations are gravely serious and will have a profound consequence on those who are truly harassed or molested.
"I strongly urge the Washington Post, and everyone involved, to tell the truth.
"That is all we can do, and I trust that the people of Alabama, who know my record after 40 years of public service, will vouch for my character and commitment to the rule of law."

Sens D Gryba suspended 2 games for hit on Eller
New York, NY – The National Hockey League issued a two-game suspension to Ottawa Senators defenseman Eric Gryba on Friday.
Gryba was punished for an illegal hit -- in direct violation of Rule 48 -- on Canadiens forward Lars Eller late in the second period of a 4-2 Ottawa victory over Montreal in Thursday's Game 1 of an Eastern Conference quarterfinal from Bell Centre.
Eller was reaching back for a pass by teammate Raphael Diaz at his own blue line when Gryba leveled him with a high and blind-side hit to the head.
"Gryba is closing in on Eller, in anticipation of Eller receiving a pass from his teammate. Just as Eller receives the pass, Gryba delivers the open-ice hit. In doing so, Gryba makes Eller's head the principal point of contact, causing a serious injury," noted NHL director of player safety Brendan Shanahan in a video explanation of his ruling.
"In attempting this very difficult check, Gryba does not hit squarely enough through the body. A hockey player bears some responsibility to be aware of an impending check, however, since the inception of the current 'illegal check to the head penalty,' no player should expect that his head will be made the principal point of contact, whether intentionally, or recklessly."
Gryba was given a major for interference and a game misconduct at the 13:28 mark of the period. Eller lay motionless on the ice with a pool of blood nearby until he was escorted from the ice on a stretcher.
According to a report from RDS of Canada, the 23-year-old suffered a broken nose and lost several teeth. The Montreal Gazette revealed following the contest that Eller has additional facial fractures and lost consciousness. He remained in a local hospital overnight for evaluation.
Eller was released from Montreal General Hospital earlier in the day and will not play in Game 2.
Gryba will not be eligible to return to action until Game 4 of this best-of- seven set, scheduled for next Tuesday in Ottawa.
