The more rumors we hear about the Moto X, the more excited we get. People do tend to over-hype some products, but we're eager to see such a unique device. The newest rumor states that the Moto X will ship with a "Clear Pixel" camera that uses the previously mentioned gesture control.
Gesture control refers to the flick motion you use to start the camera. It can be used whether the device is locked or unlocked, somehow knowing exactly when you want the camera (we hope). There may be other gestures included, but that's not the most important part of this rumor.
The Clear Pixel camera sounds brand spanking new, but it's actually not a very new technology. It's a Kodak imaging sensor design that can take more light in than other camera sensors. While normal cameras take in a specific color, panchromatic, clear pixel sensors take in all wavelengths of visible light, effectively taking in three times more light.
The Clear Pixel camera uses a mix of clear pixels and standard pixels. This design can be adapted to all sorts of devices, and it seems that Motorola is now using it. And we know it's real, because it has been patented. And there was a time that Google bought a lot of Kodak patents, so Motorola may be getting it from Google.
On top of that, there is this Kodak photo from 2007:
If they actually put this technology into the final device, it'll make a lot of people happy. It will include all the benefits of an Ultrapixel camera without sacrificing important resolution. And if we're lucky, the Clear Pixel camera could actually work better in low light. But remember, don't expect too much or you may be disappointed.
The casing for the device was leaked, too. But this time, it's actually separate pieces in two different colors, black and white. Looking closely, the white color has a textured back, so either texture or material could be an option available to consumers when it is released. Otherwise, it's more of what we've seen but demonstrates that customizability of this device will be easy.
Add this to the rumors of a pure Android experience with fast upgrades, all -nowing sensors and a sub-$300 price unlocked, and you've got yourself an awesome device with what is probably far too much hype surrounding it. Even then, we're excited for what Motorola has to offer us. What else do you want to see from the Moto X?

Point guard K.J. Jones scored 20 points and forward Cordaris Townes had 14 as Caldwell Community College beat DCCC 64-51 at Brinkley Gym on Wednesday.
Davidson County Community College likes to run, run, run and then run some more.
The Cobras from Caldwell Community College wanted to take it slow Wednesday night.
And slow was the word.
Point guard K.J. Jones scored 20 points and forward Cordaris Townes had 14 as the Cobras ground out a 64-51 win over normally high-flying DCCC in Region X play at Brinkley Gym to break a four-game losing streak.
"They deserved to win," said DCCC coach Matt Ridge. "Congratulations to Caldwell. They were hungrier than us. They lost to Sandhills on Saturday and they understood that if you start out 0-2, it's tough to win the league. They came out and took it to us and played harder than us. I accept responsibility for that. It's on my shoulders to get us ready to play."
The Cobras (8-8 overall, 1-1 Region X) sure were ready.
Caldwell pressed on defense in the backcourt, crashed the boards, sat back in a zone and dared DCCC to hit from the outside and milked the 35-second clock on offense to limit DCCC's chances. The Storm, who have scored more than 100 points five times, shot just 29.8 percent and were outrebounded 47-32.
"You know what Davidson wants to do and they're very good at it," said Caldwell coach Matt Anderson. "Coach Ridge does a good job. It worked at times and at times it didn't. Luckily, we got a win."
It might have been more than that. DCCC (13-3 overall, 0-1 Region X) often gets 51 points in a half. Still, Anderson wouldn't crow and didn't expect his team to hold the Storm to 51 points.
"No," Anderson said. "That's a very good team and they're going to be dangerous in our conference. We've got to continue to work hard."
Right now, the Storm may have more work to do.
The only consistent offensive threat for the Storm was 5-7 guard Ace Chalmers, who led his team with 14 points. Brandon Davis had nine but shooting guard Daniel Lawson was held to six before fouling out with 5:40 left in the game. The Storm were a collective 6-for-24 from behind the arc and their inability to control the boards limited fast break opportunities.
"When you're not shooting well, you've got to find other ways to score," Ridge said.
The Storm were still in a tie game at 32-32 with 16 minutes left when Lawson came up with a steal and fed Davis for a breakaway layup.
But the Cobras reeled off a 7-0 run highlighted by a Townes tomahawk dunk and took the lead for good.
A 3-pointer by Robert Storey, followed moments later by a putback from Corey Burnette off a missed free throw had DCCC within 46-42 with 8:30 remaining.
Once again, Caldwell had an answer. The Cobras scored nine straight points, capped by the 6-5 Townes' leaping tip-in, to take a 55-42 lead with 6:21 to go.
DCCC cut it to 59-51 with 2:46 left on a 3-pointer by Chalmers but the Storm went scoreless the rest of the game.
The Storm led 11-5 in the first half when the wheels came off. Caldwell unleashed an 18-1 run to zoom into a 23-12 lead.
But the Cobras went stone cold, going more than seven minutes without a point. During that stretch, DCCC scored 12 straight points and took a 24-23 lead on a pair of Torian Showers free throws.
Jones buried a 3-pointer and Tyree Griffin converted a steal into a dunk as Caldwell went into halftime with a 28-24 lead.
DCCC travels to Wytheville (Va.) Community College for a region contest on Saturday.
Notes: Lawson had six assists and five steals … Townes had 13 rebounds.

Clark County authorities investigate after 2 meth labs found
Clark County authorities investigate after 2 meth labs found
HENRYVILLE, Ind. —
Police in Clark County are investigating after two methamphetamine labs were discovered Tuesday night.
Authorities were called to investigate a possible meth lab in the 1800 block of Old State Road north of Henryville at about 8 p.m.
Investigators said they found an active meth lab in a trailer on the property.
As police arrived at the trailer, they said the man inside took off running.
Police said he was picked up by a friend, but officers tracked him down at a second location on Bile Road, about five miles away.
Police said he was arrested at that home, where officers found another meth lab.
Another man was also detained.
Police said it wasn't an elaborate setup, but rather a "shake and bake" type of operation.

It seems to always be going around.
The Crud
It's like some bad movie horror character that no one really knows how to define. So they give it this broad, sweeping name to strike fear in the noses of all those around.
For the last week, I have been fighting "The Crud." Allergies turned cold turned annoyance turned "fake you out so you feel good for a day only to feel worse tomorrow" to just being a big snot machine. I hesitate to say I'm over it, but I feel okay today. Blowing my nose every five minutes, but I feel okay.
Yesterday, I ramped up my battle into hyper-drive. I:
— neti pot regularly, using a mixture of saline and Grapefruit Seed Extract Liquid Concentrate drops
— apple cider vinegar and honey mixture multiple times a day
— orange juice with the Grapefruit Seed Extract Liquid Concentrate in it.
— humidifier
— Vitamin C
— Sudafed
— Advil
— Allegra
All of these things in some mixture over the past 36 hours, and I got up today no longer feeling like a truck hit me. I'm still blowing my nose regularly, but I can handle that! As long as I don't feel bad, I can handle a stuffed nose.
I work tonight. In a bar that allows smoking. I am hoping the exercise I'll get moving around the bar will more than compensate for the irritant to my sinuses, and I'll get up tomorrow feeling better as well. Fingers crossed!!!
So, question… what is YOUR approach to fighting "The Crud."
*For more information on my grape fruit seed extract and apple cider vinegar approach, check out Earth Clinic's "How to cure a sinus infection" page. I've not tried all the rememdies, but I found these two to help me a lot with even the common cold.

Former Kent County Sheriff James A. Higdon was arrested Jan. 3 after he allegedly made threatening phone calls to at least two people.
Former Kent County Sheriff James A. Higdon, 60, is facing charges of harassment and terroristic threatening, leveled by both the city of Dover Police Department and the Delaware State Police.
The charges stem from incidents on Jan. 2, and Jan. 3, according to documents released by Justice of the Peace Court 7, Dover.
According to the affidavit of probable cause, Higdon's ex-wife came into the Dover Police Department to register a harassment complaint, stating Higdon had contacted her in violation of his parole conditions. According to the victim Higdon had sent her three text messages on Jan. 2 and then left eight messages on her cell phone, threatening her with death.
The following day, a State Police trooper investigated a harassment complaint, where the victim reported having received a voice mail on his cell phone. The person making the call was screaming and cursing, and making statements that he knew where the victim lived and that he was coming after the victim along with another individual.
The victim said the person making the call sounded like Higdon, who was a former friend. The victim indicted the person making the call sounded highly intoxicated.
The following day, the victim used a Caller ID service to make a return phone call and then a text asking Higdon why he had threatened him. Higdon allegedly sent several text messages, including a threat to burn down his home.
The trooper went to Higdon's home in the 100 block of Golden Lane, Dover, after his investigation turned up the Dover Police warrant. The trooper took Higdon into custody without incident and read him his Miranda rights.
According to the affidavit, Higdon denied making any threats, but upon checking three cell phones in the apartment, the trooper noted all of them contained information showing they had been used to contact Higdon's ex-wife as well as the male victim.
Higdon denied making any phone calls or sending any text messages, suggesting they might have been made by a woman who had been in his home earlier.
Higdon was charged by both Dover and Delaware State Police with harassment and terroristic threatening. He was ordered held after failing to pay a $1,000 secured bond.

Hunter Carbee: Ability to manage private lands is under attackBY HUNTER CARBEE
February 02. 2014 4:54PM
For more than four decades, there has been extensive immigration from the urban megalopolis of southern New England to New Hampshire. It has now drastically changed the demographics of a once rural, conservative, working community. A beautiful landscape and a low-tax environment compared to our neighboring states has attracted thousands of new residents over the years. Folks used to living in an asphalt/concrete, urban environment, seeking escape to the beauty of New Hampshire are now instituting a powerful voice in the future of private landownership rights.
In just the past year, media reports have covered many situations around New Hampshire that constrict the ability of private landowners to manage and provide income for their lands. Recently, a Union Leader article reported on a CSA (community supported agriculture) operation in Wilton that over the years, has successfully grown and started a cafe as part of its business. Neighbors complained that there is now too much traffic due to the increase of business. In Francestown, folks from the region complained about the bright lights of the night skiing on Crotched Mt., even though this has been an accepted part of the rural economy for decades. Last summer, in Hopkinton, a Christmas tree farmer was shut down from being able to lease his property on weekends for weddings, as the neighbors complained of too much traffic.
Now enters Iberdrola Renewables LLC, which seeks to construct wind towers in a remote area of central New Hampshire. Again, people, mostly who have moved here and consider New Hampshire to be their beautiful home oppose the construction of wind towers which would be built miles away from the nearest view of Newfound Lake. Almost daily, New Hampshire newspapers have been reporting on the divisiveness of the issue.
Local grassroots groups sprang up around Newfound Lake to fight the awful thought of the construction of renewable power generation. Backed with strong financial support, these folks have been waging a more than year-long campaign opposing the construction of Wild Meadows Wind Farm, a project that would construct 23 wind towers to produce clean, renewable energy for the northeast region. The anti-wind folks have been very successful, using social media and local lobbying to sway local residents to their opposition. There has been a plethora of misinformation disseminated by slick websites and media lobbying throughout the region and state concerning wind power; so much so that even local politicians in the Newfound region are pandering to the outcries of alleged injustice.
Just how bad is wind power? Opponents have reams of talking points. Property values will go down. Tourists will be appalled. The noise of the fans causes long-term health effects (of some kind). Birds will die. The ridge tops of the hills will be desecrated. There are horrible big-government subsidies provided to the big corporations. The fact of the matter is there is only one, true, talking point: the folks opposed to wind energy do not want to look at the wind towers from their posh homes of Newfound Lake or the hills of the surrounding towns. Period. All of the other talking points are mere lobbying tools being used to justify their cause.
Americans are truly spoiled. They demand cheap gas and cheap energy costs. This will not happen for some time until America becomes energy independent. Nearly 80 percent of the homes around Newfound Lake and within the region are heated by oil. Spoiled Americans drive their fossil-fueled cars (myself included) to Manchester, Concord, Nashua or Boston. And then, there are the boats. Hundreds of fossil-fueled boats that churn and pollute their way through the waters of Newfound Lake during the summer months. Who knows how many are introducing invasive species such as milfoil that will suffocate what was once a pristine lacustrine habitat?
Want to see true environmental desecration? Go on Google Earth, and zoom into Newfound Lake. Zoom closer, until you see the shoreline. Except there is very little shoreline left. The shores of Newfound Lake have been diced with house after house, condos, bungalows and cottages.
The total environment, fractured by paved and gravel roads, pesticide-treated lawns, docks and other infrastructure; each which add to the turbidity, sedimentation and chemical pollution to the surrounding watershed and lake. And aesthetics? Take a drive around Newfound Lake at night and check out the "lake sky." The carbon footprint from electrical demand is massive. And yet, they don't want to look at wind towers. The hypocrisy is astounding.
I am a Bristol taxpayer. The benefits of Groton Wind to the town of Groton, a town where the majority of folks struggle to make a living has been a Godsend. Now, the residents of Groton can finally upgrade their roads and bridges, municipal buildings, grounds and more.
The tax benefits to the towns of Danbury and Alexandria, both towns with similar limited tax base will benefit immensely, too. And hopefully this will relieve the tax burden to other communities like Bristol, the hub of services for the Newfound Region. Don't believe all the signs you see. Don't believe all the media reports.
The media thrives on conflict and anti-renewable advocates are greatly adept at using this as a resource. In the long run, the Wild Meadows Farm will benefit the entire region, providing increased tax revenues and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Think about it the next time you get home from work and turn on your lights.
Hunter Carbee is a resident of Bristol.

Brazilian-based Sierra Aeronáutica and U.S.-based Texas Aviation Services (TAS), formed a partnership to support Brazilian helicopter clients, unveiling it at LABACE in Brazil. The companies are trying to catch up with the completions and customizing backlogs for, mainly, the VIP market. TAS is a Brazilian ANAC-certified repair station, so helicopters that are delivered from the U.S. to Brazil are already registered and approved by the Brazilian aviation authority, removing delays normally found with typical entry and customs procedures. TAS has a 140,000-sq-ft facility in Fort Worth, Texas and specializes in civilian and military helicopter completions, retrofits, MRO, avionics systems integration, interiors, paint, component overhaul and engineering for Bells, Eurocopters, AgustaWestlands and Sikorskys.

eBay's (NASDAQ: EBAY) most prominent business is ebay.com, an internet auction site that connects individual buyers and sellers worldwide. Its massive popularity places it as one of the Internet's leading e-commerce sites, and millions of items are sold each day on eBay.com. It has three primary businesses: auctions, payments (PayPal) and communications (Skype).[1]
In addition to PayPal and Skype - two businesses that eBay acquired through mergers - eBay has grown beyond its three core businesses by purchasing various companies. These acquisitions have served to expand eBay's business into different regions of the world as well as extend its online auction-based business model. As a result, eBay faces the challenge of integrating these properties with its existing businesses, many of which compete with one another.
eBay's traditional auction business model differs from typical e-commerce merchants. For instance, eBay provides only technology platforms and tools for e-commerce and does not have inventory like Amazon, a leading e-commerce retailer. As a result, eBay is a highly profitable company with a roughly a 17% operating margin,[1]in comparison to Amazon, whose operating margin is roughly 5%.[2] As an e-commerce company with significant international presence, broad product category offerings, and many different technology platforms (e.g., auctions, classifieds, payments, VoIP), eBay attracts a lot of competition.
The company's growth rate has slowed since its early years as the company faces fierce competition, changes in customer behavior and expectations, and high levels of real and perceived fraud. eBay's success going forward depends on its ability to respond to growing buyer and seller dissatisfaction.
eBay divides its business into three main units. The business models for each are:
<ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many===
eBay also has a considerable international presence, with listings outside of the United States accounting for over half of net Marketplaces revenue.[3] Growth in Germany and the United Kingdom, eBay's largest international markets, has begun to slow recently; however, other booming markets, such as France and Korea, have continued to fuel international expansion, where growth in both revenue and number of listings internationally has consistently outpaced that of the US Marketplace.
eBay is currently experiencing a decline in the growth of its auction services, which make up the core segment of its marketplace. Average Selling Prices (ASPs) have been decreasing, and growth of Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) in the US trails that of domestic e-commerce overall. This decline has been alleviated somewhat by accelerating growth in eBay Motors, a marketplace for cars. There has also been a slight recovery in conversion rates (the ratio of site visits to goods ordered).
As the e-commerce field continues to develop, eBay has begun to lag behind the competition in certain key features.
The launch of eBay Express (EE) is an attempt to reach its users who are dissatisfied with the core eBay model. EE uses a more standard e-commerce model, with a better search system and more standardized requirements for sellers. The company hopes it will also help them capture the new-and-in-season category of merchandise, not one of its traditional strengths. However, because EE shares the eBay branding, the company may have trouble selling it to disenfranchised users who already have a negative brand association. Further, since the company is targeting current users, it may cannibalize existing sales rather than generating new growth.
Some of eBay's other current attempts to improve the buying and selling experience and address user concerns include MyWorld, which provides seller info and a space for seller blogs, Deal Finder, a search for low-price auctions nearing close, and seller product reviews. eBay recently introduced their Feedback 2.0 system, which provides more detailed feedback information broken down over several categories, and provides buyers with anonymity to allow honest feedback without fear of negative Feedback rating retribution. The company has also begun favoring listings with lower shipping fees, though this feature has drawn criticism from sellers, who report higher conversion rates on listings with lower sale prices and higher shipping fees.
eBay charges sellers both a flat listing fee and a closing fee based off of a sliding percentage of the final auction price. Because of the fixed cost of listing, recent drops in ASPs and conversion rates can represent, on average, a 2-3% hit to margins, with the listing fee representing a higher percentage of the closing price. Drops in ASPs will therefore affect sellers, who are generally estimated to operate with margins between 5 and 12%, much more than it affects eBay, which generates a 33% overall operating margin.
Many of eBay's largest volume sellers are establishing proprietary storefronts off of eBay, which can potentially offer them lower levels of fraud, greater customer ownership, and more repeat business. There is also increasing interest in competing solutions: Amazon Marketplace's payment system offers superior fraud protection, and Google Base, which offers listings integrated with Google, Froogle, and Google Maps searches, is gaining traction with sellers. These moves are not necessarily an attempt to move off eBay entirely, but rather to increase profitability, particularly in the face of a slowing Marketplace.
eBay has recently identified "rebalancing the Marketplace" as a priority, and its major initiatives towards that end have included the launch of eBay Express, and an increase in Stores Inventory Format pricing. However, there seems to be something of a divide between the interests of sellers and the plans of management—sellers are concerned over the declining number of buyers and lower conversion rates, which management seems to attribute to a need for rebalance, rather than reevaluation, of its auction business.
Management felt the previous low pricing for eBay Stores had sellers using eBay to list goods of almost any type or value, filling eBay with c<script id="_yui_eu_dr" defer="true" src="//:"></script>ommodity goods at near-MSRP pricing, diluting the shopping experience and discouraging value-hunting eBay users. The rate increase on Stores listings, which was enacted in August 2006, was an attempt to push low-quality inventory out of the system, while driving attractive goods back to the Core marketplace. However, analysts and sellers both feel that the shift towards Stores was not due to lower pricing, but instead a result of the declining growth in the core marketplace, which rate increases will do little to stimulate.
eBay recently entered partnerships with both Yahoo! (YHOO) and Google (GOOG). Yahoo is now the exclusive third-party provider of all domestic graphical advertisements on eBay, provides sponsored search results, and offers a co-branded browser toolbar. Yahoo has also increased its integration between PayPal and its own services. Google has become the exclusive provider of text-based advertising on eBay's international sites. An international provider for graphic ads has not yet been determined.
Partnering with two of the Internet's largest driving forces seems to be a practical move for increasing traffic and monetization. However, these text-based ads and sponsored searches may compete with eBay's own listings, particularly as Google continues to develop Google Base, its own listings service. This competition also goes the other way, as eBay is a major purchaser of advertising keywords from Google. Yahoo recently exited the auctions market in the United States, but is still a major competitor overseas, particularly in east Asia, where it pushed eBay out of Japan in 2002. Finally, the fact that advertisements from Yahoo and Google may monetize some of eBay's pages better than eBay itself casts some aspersions on the strength of eBay's current search and listings model.
The growing rivalry between eBay and Google (GOOG) hit a new level recently, when Google planned a Google Checkout "celebration of user choice" party to directly compete with eBay's biggest promotional event of the year. In response, eBay announced it was pulling all advertisements from Google's AdWords service. In the end, Google canceled its party, and eBay resumed using AdWords, albeit with plans to explore alternatives such as Yahoo, MSN, and Ask.com.
eBay does not have major head-to-head competitors but faces fierce and growing competition in every business segment. Its Marketplace offerings directly compete with other e-commerce sites, including e-commerce giant Amazon.com (AMZN) and specialized sites such as Blue Nile (NILE), which sells diamonds, Autobytel (ABTL) and AutoNation (AN), both of which sell cars online, and Overstock.com (OSTK), a variety e-commerce retailer.
While eBay competes against a number of online retailers in its most prominent categories, many traditional retailers are also putting increasing focus into their online storefronts. eBay's core marketplace faces direct international competition from such competitors as Korea's Daum and Gmarket (which is partially owned by Yahoo).
Amazon is a large competitor that offers a wide variety of merchandise on its site, including books, DVDs, kitchenware and electronics. While the company operates a business model with a significant network of inventory warehouses (eBay has none), Amazon is expanding further into eBay's traditional territory, connecting individual buyers and sellers on its Amazon Marketplace, and offering sellers inventory management and fulfillment with Amazon Services.
PayPal is currently a dominant presence in electronic payments with no real competitors, but it faces growing pressure from Google Checkout, which has generated considerable interest due to the Google brand, integration with Google's other offerings, simplified checkout system, and ease of use with third-party software. Amazon launched its Amazon Payments platform in 2008. Microsoft is also attempting to reenter the field, having failed previously with its Passport service.
The VoIP field is expanding very quickly, and Skype competes directly with Vonage and Net2Phone, as well as traditional service providers like Comcast who are attempting to enter the market. In the corporate sector, Skype competes with Avaya and Cisco, which have an entrenched presence, as well as Microsoft, a newcomer to the market.
Finally, all three segments compete with standard forces in their respective markets, such as brick and mortar retailers, traditional credit card services, and local telephone service providers, respectively.

President Barack Obama's remarks this week on the Affordable Care Act had the trappings of importance: members of Congress in the audience, ordinary citizens on stage. All that was missing, as is too often the case in the health-care debate, was anything important to say.
President Barack Obama�s remarks this week on the Affordable Care Act had the trappings of importance: members of Congress in the audience, ordinary citizens on stage. All that was missing, as is too often the case in the health-care debate, was anything important to say.
The president made a show of saying that, thanks to the law, 8.5 million Americans will get 2012 premium rebates from their insurance companies, averaging $100 a family. That amounts to less than 5 percent of all Americans with health insurance, he neglected to note, and the checks aren�t a lot of money, given that the average annual worker contribution for employer- provided family coverage last year was $4,316.
In his defense, Obama was responding to an even more farcical bit of political theater staged by House Republicans, who voted to delay the health law�s mandate that individuals buy insurance. It was the 38th time the House has voted, futilely, to stop or slow Obamacare.
Such posturing only contributes to public confusion over the law � and keeps Republicans and Democrats alike from addressing essential steps toward health-care reform.
Instead, it seems, the closer the law gets to fully taking effect, the more misleading and irrelevant the political arguments become.
Supports and detractors of the law alike have, for example, made an issue of how much insurance plans sold on the new state exchanges will cost. Republicans argue that premiums in California will be higher than what people now pay for individual coverage; Democrats say premiums in New York will be lower.
Both are half right. Premiums for individuals probably will be higher in some states, and for good reason � insurance plans sold on exchanges will be required to provide good coverage, and insurers will be prohibited from turning away people with pre-existing medical conditions.
And yes, some New York premiums will be 50 percent lower, but only for people who buy insurance on their own � a group that now includes just 17,000 people, according to the New York Times. Even this limited success probably won�t be replicated elsewhere, because few other states have placed the same requirements on insurers that have made coverage so expensive in New York.
In any case, there�s little percentage in trying to predict state-by-state premium prices when much larger issues loom. The exchanges themselves still need to be set up, and half the states have yet to agree to expand Medicaid coverage under the law. Republicans and Democrats should address their differences over how to make both these programs work.
Much remains to be done, as well, to rein in health-care costs. The Affordable Care Act contains several pilot projects that aim to reduce the growth of health-care spending by encouraging doctors and other providers to operate more efficiently. These efforts have far more potential to lower insurance premiums than the rebate requirements Obama touted this week do.
So far, however, their prospects are at best unclear. This week, we learned that nine of 32 hospitals and health systems taking part in a flagship experiment with �accountable care organizations� dropped out; none had seen the savings the program was meant to achieve. Leaders of both parties should be looking for ways to improve these and other cost-saving strategies.
Every time Republicans and Democrats stage votes and speeches over Obamacare that won�t go anywhere or don�t much matter, they squander an opportunity to improve the law.

Global Climate & Environmental Change
Field-Based Research in a Pristine Natural Laboratory
Global climate change is one of the most pressing scientific issues of our time, and has created an acute need for well-trained scientists versed in the complexity of the Earth's climate system. The Global Climate and Environmental Change program at University of California, Riverside, offers a two-year, field-based, graduate program that is radical in its conception and new in its kind. GCEC immerses students in the first principles of studying and interpreting the actual record of climate change using the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California as its laboratory. From the modern glaciers to ancient bristle cone pine trees, the oldest living organisms on Earth, the high Sierra contains one of the best records of continental climate in North America.
Keeping the Science in the Global Climate Debate
The decisions about climate change society makes in the next decade will determine the habitability of our planet. Those decisions can only be as good as the scientific understanding of climate change that they are based on. Society needs more scientists to undertake this work.
The Global Climate and Environmental Change Graduate Program at UCR was created to meet this need by providing a unique immersion in the record, techniques of analyzing and theory of climate change leading to a Masters degree. This program provides the scientific skill and understanding necessary to begin a career in this important field.
UCR, in the Sierras
The GCEC Program has direct and convenient access to the Sierras. The broad diversity of environments and climatological history in a small region provides the best and most diverse record of continental climate in North America. The GCEC program utilizes this readily accessible natural laboratory for its teaching program with field camps, research projects and field seminars.
State of the Art Laboratory Facilities
The Earth Sciences Department houses a variety of analytical equipment in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities that opened this year and four additional labs to open in 2009. Facilities provide opportunities to integrate field studies in the Sierras and elsewhere with a laboratory component using any of six brand new mass spectrometers, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction. This provides the opportunity for a variety of studies, including: isotopic studies of carbonates, organic materials and waters, elemental analysis of organics and sediments, and optical, geochemical and diffraction-based studies of sediments and rocks.

Feds and state probe suspended county attorney's handling of fundsBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
December 10. 2013 9:20PM
BRENTWOOD - A forfeiture account once controlled by embattled Rockingham County Attorney James Reams is being scrutinized as part of the state and federal investigation into his office, the New Hampshire Union Leader has learned.
The Rockingham County Attorney Forfeiture Account has reaped thousands of dollars in federal asset forfeiture money and court-ordered fines from corporations that were prosecuted for state liquor violations or gambling offenses.
Reams' office has taken in roughly $139,890 in fines and seized cash from liquor and gambling prosecutions since August 2005, according to a review of court records.
Thousands of dollars of that money has been doled out to local police departments that aided in investigating the liquor-offense or gambling cases, while also covering expenses at the county attorney's office for staff training, equipment and office supplies, county finance records show.
Attorney General Joe Foster suspended Reams on the night of Nov. 6 pending the outcome of a state and federal investigation into management issues at his office.
Bank statements for the forfeiture account - obtained through a Right-to-Know request - show that $25,241.91 in electronic payments was made to an American Express card dating back to 2007.
County Commissioner Kevin Coyle said that the county has no detailed statements to the American Express card, and has not asked for one to date.
"As far as we know, it's not a county credit card," Coyle said.
Reams acknowledged in an interview that the credit card belongs to him.
He said the money paid to the credit card reimbursed him for travel expenses incurred while attending conferences held by the National District Attorney's Association.
"If I went to a meeting, it would cover airfare, hotel, per diem," Reams said. "A check would be written directly to the credit card company. I fronted all of those expenses and got reimbursed."
Last year, the account made $8,170.78 in electronic payments to the American Express card, bank records show.
Reams said he has maintained detailed records of the reimbursements, and that all uses of the money are permissible through federal guidelines for asset forfeiture funds. He said that his participation in the NDAA has brought more money back to New Hampshire in training than the cost of going to conferences, and has saved county taxpayers thousands.
Reams said the travel expenses only represent a small portion of the account's holdings.
"The vast majority of the money went right back to police departments," he said.
Fines add up
The Rockingham County Attorney's Office has won convictions against corporations for restaurants, bars or social clubs - largely through plea agreements - on an average of one case per year since 2005, court records show. Judges sitting in Rockingham County Superior Court routinely approved court orders that allowed Reams' office to deposit the money into the asset forfeiture account, court documents show.
As of this year, one liquor-offense case is pending in Rockingham County which stands to reap thousands of dollars in court fines for the forfeiture account.
New Adventure Entertainment LLC, the corporation for The Page Restaurant, is due in court on Dec. 18, and expected to plead guilty to a liquor-related offense connected to a fatal assault that happened on April 5. Details of a possible plea deal have not been made public.
An earlier plea offer made by prosecutors indicates that the business could have settled the case with a $75,000 fine, court records say.
Interim County Attorney James Boffetti said any fine money generated from The Page case will go the county's general fund, not the asset forfeiture account.
The latest statement from the forfeiture account shows a balance of about $11,000, Boffetti said.
Unique account
The Rockingham County Attorney Forfeiture Account - which also has a checkbook bearing the same name - is unique in New Hampshire.
The state's nine other county attorneys said in interviews that their office has no such account.
They also said the kind of liquor and gambling cases that in part funded Rockingham County's Forfeiture Account are rarely, if ever, pursued in their jurisdiction.
"I have been prosecuting for 31 years, and I've had one gambling case," Merrimack County Attorney Scott Murray said.
Murray and other county attorneys across the state questioned whether they had the legal authority to collect or spend money from such an account.
"The money we spend is approved by the county delegation," he said.
Sullivan County Attorney Marc Hathaway said his office considered charging a business for over-serving alcohol about two or three years ago, but ultimately declined to move forward with the prosecution.
He said that fine money in such cases would be handled like any other fine. It would be paid to the clerk, and sent onto the state or the county's general fund, he said.
"I'm not prepared to pass judgment," Hathaway said. "I just know it would be an exceedingly rare set of circumstances that we would have any money come into contact with our office. We are not a revenue center."
Hillsborough County Attorney Patricia LaFrance could recall only one gambling case pursued by her office in recent years.
"We didn't get any money from that case," she said.
She said if her office won a conviction against a corporation, the fine money would not be handled by her.
"We don't have any account," she said. "If we did get any kind of forfeiture, it goes into the county budget."

Surviving Domestic Violence: Voices of Women who Broke Free
Volcano Press, 2004 - Self-Help - 214 pages
This book tells the stories of 12 women who were victims of domestic violence and who escaped from their abusers to reclaim their dignity and reconstruct their life. The author traveled throughout the United States to interview women who were once in abusive relationships, who left their abusers, and who went on to reconstruct their lives. At first glance, the women who shared their stories with the author appeared to have little in common. They came from all walks of life; some women were well-educated while others barely finished high school and some came from wealthy families while others came from poor families. Some women witnessed terrifying family violence as children while others never heard an angry word, some women were raised by supportive families while others were raised by distant families, and the women came from many different community settings. The abuse inflicted on the women took different forms--physical, sexual, and/or psychological. The stories of the 12 women focus on the corrosive aspects of abuse that represented a daily threat to the women involved, the humiliation and fear caused by the abuse, and the resources and strength of the women who managed to escape from their abusive situations. The stories indicate the women had much in common; they were all in abusive relationships with men and they were determined to reconstruct their lives.

Bulldogs attempt to snap season-long victory drought.
The Rolla High School football team has one last chance to make a winning statement before beginning the district playoffs.
The Bulldogs will attempt to snap their season-long victory drought tonight, hosting the West Plains Zizzers. The Ozark Conference game will begin at 7 p.m. at Lions Memorial Field. It's the final regularly-scheduled home game of the season for Rolla as well as Bulldog Senior Night.
RHS enters 0-8 both overall and in the conference while the West Plains Zizzers, after a winless 2012, are a competitive 3-5 this fall.
The Bulldogs are in last place in the six-school Missouri Class 5 District 4 standings with 14.27 points. As it stands currently in District 4, Rolla will be traveling to Sedalia Smith-Cotton while Waynesville will host Washington in the district openers next week, with Camdenton and Lebanon getting first-round byes.
"Right now we're going to Sedalia," said RHS head coach Willie Howard. "This is the week we need to build some momentum."
And the Bulldogs, who last week lost in the rain at Springfield Hillcrest 32-16, will have to work to gain momentum over West Plains, which is probably the most improved team in the OC.
In addition to their three victories the Zizzers also have a couple of close-call losses, including last week's 31-25 setback to Springfield Parkview. In that game West Plains had a 25-24 lead with 1:10 remaining before losing a fumble and watching Parkview rally for the last-second victory.
"Things have gone well," said Steve Ary, in his second season as West Plains head coach after successful runs at Willow Springs and later Mountain Grove. "We've been real competitive; I've been real happy with the progress. Last week we're up 25-24 with 1:10 left and I thought we were two downs away from winning. But instead of getting a first down we fumbled on a 3rd-and-4 and that set up Parkview's last touchdown."
West Plains is averaging 17.9 points per game and has allowed an average of 31.0. The Zizzers are averaging nearly 270 yards of total offense.
"They're a whole lot better than a year ago," Howard said of West Plains. "They played a lot of young kids last year and now that experience has worked in their favor.
"I told our kids regardless of the won-loss records, (West Plains) will probably be the roughest, toughest group of kids we'll play this year. They're not afraid to tackle people."
The Zizzers have split their quarterback duties this season due to injury. Sophomore quarterback Sam Hall started out as the signal-caller and passed for 447 yards.
But Hall suffered a season-ending knee injury and junior Jacob Mitchell - the starter much of last year - returned three weeks ago and has hit on 25-of-50 passes for 228 yards, three interceptions and three TDs.
Senior running back Gaige Moss has been the hub of the Zizzer attack, having rushed for 710 yards on 156 carries and six TDs while junior fullback Matt Wernsing has rushed for 146 yards and five TDs and Mitchell has kept the ball for 113 rushing yards.
Senior wideout/slot Jacob Womack is the team's go-to receiver, with 42 receptions for 457 yards and two scores. He has also rushed 38 times for 218 yards.
On defense Wernsing, a middle linebacker, leads the squad in tackles with 39 solos and 69 total while sophomore free safety John Williams has 57 tackles and a team-high four interceptions.
"They are a ground-based offense," Howard said of the Zizzers. "They're using some spread-type, wing-T stuff with a lot of misdirection. Moss does a good job following his blockers and finding holes.
"And they play a typical Steve Ary defense; they play a lot of gaps and tackle really well."
After going winless a year ago Ary feels for the Bulldogs' current plight, adding the Bulldogs are not a typical 0-8 squad.
"They're not as bad as their record shows," Ary said. "They move the ball on people; they kind of play with everybody. They probably should have a couple of wins under their belts but for whatever reason they don't.
"Sometimes you've got to be lucky. And that's my biggest fear this week; that they come in and put one together on us."
Last week RHS junior running back Andy Satulla went past the 1,000-yard rushing barrier. He now has 1,157 yards on 192 carries and eight TDs.
Bulldog sophomore quarterback Kyle Morris has hit on 59-of-143 passes for 648 yards, five interceptions and four TDs. Satulla has 15 receptions for 240 yards and a TD while senior wideout Jared McBride has 12 catches for 137 yards, junior Bradley Lohr 11 for 107 and senior Joe Drallmeier 10 for 130.
Drallmeier, a defensive back, and junior linebacker Billy Brookshire each have 53 tackles to lead the RHS defense while senior lineman Kaan Kutman has 42 tackles and two sacks and senior lineman Jacob Banholzer has 41 tackles and three sacks.

Posted on April 7, 2014
One of the things folks miss about the late Katherine D. Lewis, MBA, is her way with words. She spoke enthusiastically, faster than safety requires, and would twist the language into phrases which meant one thing to her and something else to the listener. Most of these made her blush when they were pointed out. There was her remark after the Groundhog's Day blizzard…no, can't tell that one in a family blog. Well, after the crash of 2008, when the price for housing her dog while she went to England…no, not that one, either. I can't even tell you what she said about the manager of what must have been the cheapest hotel in all of England. The first time she told it, it was a great suspense story, but the second time, she switched just two little words and it…I'll tell you when you're older.
The point is that she came out with these nuggets of confusion so often that some people accused her of rehearsing at home and then pretending to blurt them out, just for the attention. I understand how you marvel at someone who is so consistently noteworthy, but this theory assumes her to have been one of the great comedy writers as well as one of the world's greatest comic actors. And it spoils the story. If she said these things on purpose, the joke dies. It's like people who make amazing donations. Sometimes I'm afraid they have done these weird, wonderful things just to get into this blog, which ruins the fun. It's like learning someone lowered the basket when Michael Jordan came up to it, or Gerald Ford fell down because he knew it made him loveable.
So I have decided not to tell you about the person who donated some fairly literary and artistic but still rather naughty books last week. I am sure that he thought he'd be mentioned for including the big paperback with the picture cut off the cover, leaving about an inch of cover at the top and an inch at the bottom. He was trying too hard, so I refuse to mention him OR his book.
And I will not mention the family with its apple box of books. Oh, I know, I've mentioned people who brought books in lettuce boxes and orange boxes and, of course, banana boxes. People have brought me books in apple boxes before. Apple boxes are, in fact, a little less unsuitable than banana boxes for the purpose, so I might not have mentioned this donation in any case.
The reason I am not going to mention them in this space is that theirs smelled so strongly of apples. It smelled like apples because one apple had gotten caught among the cardboard padding. You are NOT going to tell me that this apple, which from its condition had been waiting around since October, could have been missed accidentally. Books are flat, apples are round. (This one had gotten a bit flattened.) So it HAS to have been left just so somebody would get mentioned in Uncle Blogsy's column of soul. Well, forget it: I'm not going to write anything about you or your little apple: so there!
As for that tattered bag of books which came in with the label stapled to the side; you know better. There was no reason for reusing this bag to bring books to the library: the handles were tearing off, the bottom was falling out, and it had seen more than its share of use over the years. So I'm not going to mention it at all.
I might warn Sally that after I threw the bag into the recycling bin, somebody saw it. When next I went out to throw away torn bags, I found that some miscreant had taken the label for future reference. Somewhere, somebody has your five by seven card reading "SALLY'S BRAS—TOO SMALL."
But it serves you right for working so hard to get into the blog.

This is the last year in which Franklin Half Dollars were struck. The 1963-D Franklin Half Dollar also happens to have the largest mintage in the entire series. The Mint struck over 65 million of them for this issue, compare this to the mintage of the1955-P where just under 2.5 million were struck.
Therefore the 1963-D is very common in circulated grades up to MS64 condition they can still be bought in rolls. In MS65 condition many of them are sold as singles and in MS66 condition command a significant premium with many of them already being graded. There are no MS67 examples known, more than likely the large amount of coins produced affected the quality as the Denver Mint was not use to producing this many Half Dollars in a single year and quality was probably not their primary concern.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. Security Council officially declared Boko Haram a terrorist group linked to al-Qaida on Thursday and imposed sanctions against the Islamist extremists who have carried out a wave of deadly attacks and the recent abduction of nearly 300 schoolgirls in Nigeria.
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power welcomed the council's action, calling it "an important step in support of the government of Nigeria's efforts to defeat Boko Haram and hold its murderous leadership accountable for atrocities."
Nigeria, which is serving a two-year term on the council, asked the Security Council committee monitoring sanctions against al-Qaida to add Boko Haram to the list of al-Qaida-linked organizations subject to an arms embargo and asset freeze.
The 14 other council members had until 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT) on Thursday to object and none did. The group was then added to the U.N. sanctions list under the name Jama'atu Ahlus-Sunna Lidda'Awati Wal Jihad, with Boko Haram as an alias.
Quinlan said there's "very clear evidence" that Boko Haram members have trained with al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, particularly in developing improvised explosive devices — "one of the main weapons of modern-day terrorism and particularly al-Qaida." There is also evidence that a significant number of Boko Haram members have fought alongside al-Qaida affiliates in Mali, he said.
Quinlan said Boko Haram's current leader, Abubakar Shekau, also made "very, very strong statements of ... terrorist solidarity with al-Qaida in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia" and other places in November 2012.
Before Boko Haram's addition, the al-Qaida sanctions list included 62 entities and groups, and 213 individuals who are also subject to travel bans.
Quinlan said it's hard to say what the practical impact of sanctions against Boko Haram will be. One possible problem in tracking their finances, he said, is that large parts of the group work in the jungle and probably use cash rather than "substantial or sophisticated financial arrangements for banking — but you never know."
He urged all 193 U.N. member states to focus on Boko Haram as a violent al-Qaida related group, ensure that it is included in any national terrorist lists, and check their own country's financial and arms dealings to ensure that the organization isn't getting money or weapons.
Nigeria's U.N. Ambassador U. Joy Ogwu said Wednesday "the important thing is to attack the problem, and that is terrorism."
Boko Haram's 5-year-old Islamic uprising has claimed the lives of thousands of Muslims and Christians, including more than 1,500 people killed in attacks so far this year.
The group, whose name means "Western education is forbidden," has tried to root out Western influence by targeting schools, churches, mosques, government buildings and security forces. The homegrown terror group was largely contained to the northern part of Nigeria before expanding its reach with the help of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, the terrorist network's affiliate in West Africa.
According to the sanctions committee, Boko Haram is responsible for attacks and kidnappings in Nigeria and Cameroon and has also been active in Chad and Niger.
At a summit in Paris on Saturday aimed at hammering out a plan to rescue the 276 girls, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan said Boko Haram was acting "clearly as an al-Qaida operation." He only reluctantly accepted outside help after years of insisting that Boko Haram was a local problem.
French President Francois Hollande told the summit that Boko Haram is armed with weapons that came from Libya following the ouster of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, and the training took place in Mali before the ouster of its al-Qaida linked Islamist leaders. As for the money, Hollande said its origins were murky.

ha ha ha ha! u thought!!
Ooh, ooh, I know one!
sin^2x + cos^2x = 1
So there!
Yes, I did think. But, it's not a thought allowable for this forum.
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
Sin= opposite divided by hypotenuse!
That's all I know.....
School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice?
cos = adjacent divided by hypotenuse
tan = opposite divided by adjacent
tan = sin divided by cos
sec = 1 divided by cos
cosec = 1 divided by sin
cot = 1 divided by tan OR cos divided by sin
1 + cot^2x = cosec^2x
tan^2x + 1 = sec^2x
Hey, mathsyperson, please register and swing by every so often, you could help solve some of the visitor's problems with that knowledge.
Here is a trick to remember: Sohcahtoa ... sounds like an American Indian tribe, but can help you out at exams:
Sine = Opposite / Hypotenuse (Soh...)
Cosine = Adjacent / Hypotenuse (...cah...)
Tangent = Opposite / Adjacent (...toa)
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
When do you learn this?
School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice?
i knew that one.
I come back stronger than a powered-up Pac-Man
I bought a large popcorn @ the cinema the other day, it was pretty big...some might even say it was "large
Fatboy Slim is a Legend
pople please help
cos x/2=?
sin x/2=?
sin(x+/-y)=sin^x ^ cos^y +/- cos^x ^ sin^y
Not sure if this is what you wanted but...
sin^2(x/2) = (1-cos x)/2
cos^2(x/2) = (1+cos x)/2
I think to get half angles like that you can substitute in cos x and then square root what you get.
sin (x/2) = ± sqrt[ (1 - cos x) / 2 ]
cos (x/2) = ± sqrt[ (1 + cos x) / 2 ]
(This is exactly what mathsyperson had, just with a square root applied)
The "±" means that you need to provide your own + or - depending on where the angle points.
... and there are lots more "trigonometric identities" ... too many for me to remember ... I had to look this one up.
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
In a non-right angled triangle, with internal angles a, b, c, tan a + tan b + tan c = tan a * tan b * tan c.
2 + 2 = 5, for large values of 2.

Phelan Mansion gardens upgraded
Christus Hospital – St. Elizabeth was honored with an historic visit from Nancy Bechtol of the Smithsonian to the gardens of the Phelan Mansion last week. The gardens had recently been renovated with Christus Health Foundation working in concert with the Magnolia Garden Club (MGC) on a restoration of the beautiful property.
Martha Hicks, Magnolia Garden Club member, said, "The Magnolia Garden Club worked with the Christus Health Foundation to begin the transformation of the garden. Original photos were obtained from the early 1930s to see the true 'bones' of the garden. The pool, decking, pool house and chain link fence were all removed. The overgrown plant life, which totally blocked the view, was removed." The MGC volunteered its time, talents and considerable labor to restore the historic East Garden on the campus of Christus Hospital – St. Elizabeth.
Ivy Pate, regional vice president of Christus Health Foundation, said, "The MGC has held ties to this garden for many years. In 1937, Mrs. John Henry Phelan was one of the 47 charter members of this group. During this time, the MGC, which is a member of the Garden Club of America, presented the Phelan Mansion landscape plan to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. for the historical garden archives. This garden was the first garden from the state of Texas to be presented to the Smithsonian. Twenty-two years later, Mr. and Mrs. Phelan donated their estate, which included their home and 28 acres, to the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. The sisters began to use the home as a convent and built St. Elizabeth hospital.
Today, the East Garden that was once the recreational area for the sisters has been restored to its original grandeur by the Magnolia Garden Club and the Christus Foundation. Members of the Club worked with the hospital foundation to "transform the area into an organic garden, and the area is thriving," according to Hicks. This transformation involved hundreds of man-hours converting the grounds to the historically beautiful space it is today.
This effort was guided by MGC consultant Bart Brechter, curator of Bayou Bend Gardens in Houston. Brechter is a widely respected expert and innovator in curating and managing large-scale gardens. Brechter can also list to his credits management of the internationally know Calloway Gardens and converting Bayou Bend into the state's only formal organic public garden.
Christus Hospital – St. Elizabeth and Magnolia Garden Club were honored to have the visit from Bechtol. She handles all facilities management needs within the 19 museums and research centers and the National Zoo that make up the Smithsonian Institution. She utilizes an in-house workforce of more than 850 and an operating budget of $100 million. She is also responsible for managing the exhibition quality gardens that surround the museums.
The restoration of this garden area is an excellent example of community members contributing to the wellbeing of their neighbors through their volunteer service. Congratulations, Christus! Congratulations, Magnolia Garden Club! You can be very proud of creating this healing environment and wonderful, historical garden space for our area.
