India Eases Tourist Visa Rules
Tourists visiting India and then, say, popping over the border to Nepal no longer need to wait two months to re-enter the country.
After the attacks on Mumbai in November 2008, India tightened its visa rules to stop people with multiple re-entry visas from leaving India and returning soon after.
The aim was to better police the movement of people in and out of India after the Mumbai attacks, which killed more than 160 people. The preparations for the attacks, carried out by 10 Pakistani gunmen, were made by David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American businessman.
But a number of ordinary tourists with multiple-entry visas also were affected by the new rule. They were only supposed to apply to tourists with 5- or 10-year multiple reentry visas. But tourists with three- or six-months visas also had to show Indian immigration officials detailed itineraries of what they planned to do in neighboring countries to get a waiver from the two-month rule.
Subash Verma, president of the Association of Domestic Tour Operators of India, welcomed the move to scrap the rule. "This will make India again a hot tourist destination," he said.
Ashok Chanchalani, owner of International Tour and Travels, a New Delhi-based travel agency called it a "good decision." He said the new policy would "ease the cumbersome procedure of getting a visa for tourists and increase their inflow."
Earlier this year, the prime minister's office decided to review the regulation after the tourism ministry received complaints from travelers and tour operators. Last week, India's home ministry scrapped the rule.
The decision was welcomed by India's tourism ministry. "It has addressed a long pending demand of the travel industry and would facilitate tourists visiting the country," federal tourism minister K. Chiranjeevi said in a statement Tuesday.
There are some exceptions. The two-month wait will still apply to nationals of Afghanistan, China, Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Sudan, Bangladesh, foreigners of Pakistan and Bangladesh origins and stateless persons, the home ministry said in a statement.
India has been trying to boost its allure as a tourist destination. The country now grants visas on arrival to people from a number of countries.
According to India's tourism ministry, 6.29 million foreign tourists arrived in 2011, earning the country $16.5 billion. In the first six months of this year, 3.24 million foreign tourists came to India, earning the nation $7.9 billion.

It's been the longest time since I've written and it came with this huge realization that while I absolutely adore blogging and everything so rewarding about it, being in an Architecture major had ultimately taken toll on me, all the more now since I've gone into Senior year. On a happier note, my big break off blogging to focus on college turned celebratory in the end when I found myself gaping at a 4.0 GPA. (At our college, the highest GPA you can get is 4, not 5).
So that was a summarized explanation for what kept me from blogging luscious freebies and DIYs here. Now that vacay started, I'm back to business. Summer is in full swing here (we're hitting 45 degrees Celcius on average) and nothing spells summer and chillin' like lots of bright colors, cheery florals, fruity prints and popsicles!S
This collection packs in all that summer action into 6 peppy prints available for digital download. You can use them for scrapbooking, frame them up as art , as wrapping paper for gifts or to to jazz up your DIYS!
Here's a preview on what you'll get on downloading:
The download is a compressed file (.rar) so you'll have to extract it. If you're having any issues, please drop a comment below and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
PS:For my subscribers, I'll be sending out some exclusive brush-lettering prints soon to your inbox which, as we all know, are completely in vogue right now. Set them up as mobile/desktop wallpapers or-r-r-r frame them! They'll look absolutely witty either way.
Here's some inspiration on how to use these digital prints:2.These adorable cubby shelves
3. These ideas on designing your own stationery
4. These super-fun made from scratch on the go notepads.
Don't forget to pin and share this if you liked it and have a brilliant summer. xoxo
Psst...Follow me and never miss an update!

Dodger Stadium filled with fans and players…
It's been a busy day around the stadium…it started out with workouts for the prospects and Don Mattingly was here, as was Matt Kemp. Afterwards, all our prospects headed up to the Stadium Club for a luncheon with the fans who lead various groups in outings to Dodger Stadium and each table had a prospect sitting with them.
Don and Ned took questions from the fans in the Stadium Club and then spent time signing autographs and taking pictures with everyone.
Tomorrow, the media is invited out to watch the workouts and talk with the prospects and Donnie, so you'll likely see lots of stories in the various outlets that cover us regularly.
Meanwhile, many of you may remember the LA Sports Awards, which is the annual awards ceremony hosted by the LA Sports Council and televised by Fox Sports West each February. Well, voting has started at www.lasports.org and you can see that various Dodger moments are there for the voting, so check it out.
And on a much more serious note, thank you all for your continued thoughts for the Green family. For those who posted comments in our last post, we'll make sure they're included in the tribute book but feel free to also send them to email@example.com, as we'll be compiling all of them in a memorial book for the family.
Those looking for other ways to help, please see here.

It seems as though Spring is in the air….YAY!!!!!
LMAO, Enchanted! by the way, did you hear, Claudio signed with the Rockies? I say, YAY FOR US!!!!!
I think that's just the manure Ned's brought in Tru.
I think whoever is in the IT department with MLBlogs needs to be traded for a IT department to be named later.
Josh – it is also great to hear/read that the Dodgers set up a memorial fund for Christina Green.
Some potential bats that are/could become available….

Communicating with Your Student
Keep the lines of communication open. Recognizing how difficult it may be at times to discuss transitional issues, we have prepared a list of polite suggestions to help guide your discussions.
Know how the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) changes the access you have to information related to your student's academic and social records at college.
Talk about how you will stay informed. Regardless of if you will be communicating by e-mail or phone, setting expectations early will help both the student and the parent during the transitional process.
Staying connected to your student entails knowing what is going on in his or her surrounding environment. Visit the University's Web site to know what is happening on campus. Know the campus culture and processes.
Listen closely to things your student is sharing about the trials and tribulations being faced. Sometimes, students just need an ear to listen, a place to "vent." Don't solve problems, but strategize with your student about the best way to approach situations. It sometimes helps to ask "What do you want me to do?" to determine the difference between venting and a true crisis. Know that it is best to get involved only after all student-initiated avenues have been exhausted.
Academics: Ask …
About his or her advisor. Encourage meeting with the advisor to talk about classes, choosing a major, experiential education opportunities, and career options.
About classes, not grades. Talk about what topics are being covered. Is he or she facing any difficulties in the class? Students should always speak first with their professor when facing difficulty in class; all faculty members are available by phone and e-mail, and host office hours.
About majors and possible career paths. If he or she is uncertain, the First-Year Advising Office and Center for Student Success work closely with students to help them discover which field is best for them through interest surveys and workshops.
Personal: Ask …
About his or her relationships with roommates and other friends. Talk about respecting each other's space and how to communicate if situations arise. Ask about the other friends he or she has made at school.
About involvement in co-curricular activities: clubs, organizations, community service, and intramurals. Ask if he or she has been participating in University-sponsored events on campus.
About drugs and alcohol.
About sex and relationships
About work, if applicable. The challenges related to managing school and work responsibilities can be very stressful for college students.
Applaud often! Continue celebrating the small and large achievements in your college student's life.
It's more than just about grades—studying hard for a tough exam, finishing a research paper, or working with a peer tutor to better understand coursework deserve recognition.
Celebrate involvement in campus activities or participation in community service events. Your encouragement will go a very long way and will help your student want to establish roots in college.

WASHINGTON—Religious employers and other stakeholders would still have their employee health insurance plans and premiums used for services they find morally objectionable, even under future government accommodations, according to comments submitted by the General Counsel of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The May 15 comments outlined the continued objections of USCCB to the HHS "preventive services" mandate and urged the administration to resolve these issues "in favor of more, not less, religious freedom."
"We believe that this mandate is unjust and unlawful – it is bad health policy, and because it entails an element of government coercion against conscience, it creates a religious freedom problem," wrote Anthony Picarello, USCCB associate general secretary and general counsel, and Michael Moses, associate general counsel. "These moral and legal problems are compounded by an extremely narrow exemption that intrusively and unlawfully carves up the religious community into those that are deemed 'religious enough' for an exemption, and those that are not."
The comments were submitted in response to an HHS Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on preventive services, which expressed the administration's intention to propose additional regulations in order to establish alternative ways of ensuring contraceptive coverage for employees enrolled in health plans of religious organizations not exempted from the HHS mandate while still "accommodating" such organizations.
The USCCB comments noted that such an accommodation would only apply to some religious organizations and that it "would still leave their premiums or plans (or both) as the source or conduit for the objectionable 'services.' But the use of premiums and plans for that purpose is precisely what is morally objectionable, and having an insurer or third party administer the payments does not overcome the moral objection." The comments concluded that, "under the terms set out in the ANPRM, the 'accommodation' cannot provide effective relief even for those few stakeholders that qualify for it."
The comments outlined six points:
First, the ANPRM does not change the fact that contraceptive services are included in the list of mandated preventive services. This has remained unchanged from an earlier regulation announced in August 2011.
Second, the ANPRM does not change the administration's criteria for defining "religious employers" exempted from the mandate, an exemption that USCCB calls "unprecedented in federal law, improperly narrow, and unlawful." These criteria include that employers primarily hire and serve only members of their own religion.
Third, many stakeholders in the health insurance process—religious and secular insurers, religious and secular for-profit employers, individual policy-holders, and others—with a conscientious objection to the mandate are completely ineligible for the exemption. The ANPRM does not acknowledge or address this problem, and as a result, those stakeholders "will be required in the next few months either to drop out of the health insurance marketplace, potentially triggering crippling penalties, or to provide coverage that violates their deeply-held convictions."
Fourth, while the administration has invited public comment on some further "accommodation" for certain non-exempt religious organizations, secular stakeholders will receive no such accommodation. "We believe that the contraceptive mandate violates the religious and conscience rights of these stakeholders as well and is unlawful."
Fifth, regardless of the definition of "religious organization," the central problem remains, that "conscientiously-objecting non-exempt religious organizations will still be required to provide plans that serve as a conduit for contraceptives and sterilization procedures to their own employees, and their premiums will help pay for those items." The administration has invited comment on different approaches for how to deal with a self-insured employer, but "none of them will solve the problems that the mandate creates for non-exempt religious organizations with a conscientious objection to contraceptive coverage."
Sixth, the ANPRM raises new questions such as whether employers must be independently exempt for their employees to participate in an exempt plan, whether religious objection to some, but not all, contraceptives should be accommodated and whether a past practice of mistakenly or unknowingly covering contraceptives should disqualify one from accommodation.
"In each case, we urge resolution of these questions in favor of more, not less, religious freedom," Picarello and Moses wrote.

The New York City Chapter of the National Solid Wastes Management Association (NSWMA) recently submitted comments to the New York City Council's Sanitation and Solid Waste Management Committee regarding a proposed food waste composting bill.
The bill calls for a study and a pilot project for compostable waste; authorizes the New York City Business Integrity Commission's (BIC) to alter its rate cap; and allows city officials to reduce the tip fee for source separated compostable waste.
In its comments, NSWMA argued the pilot program is unnecessary, since licensed New York City carters already collect compostable waste from restaurants, grocers and other waste generators, and deliver it to facilities in New Jersey, upstate New York and Connecticut. New York City officials can gauge the experience of these carters to learn about the challenges and costs of managing compostable waste separately.
NSWMA commented that reducing the BIC rate cap for source separated compostable waste will not have the desired effect of reducing the amount of such waste from restaurants, grocers and other waste generators. NSWMA called on city officials to eliminate the rate cap, noting that the cap distorts the operation of the free market for commercial waste services in New York City.
Tom Toscano, chair of NSWMA's New York City Chapter and the Chief Financial and Legal Officer for Mr. T Carting, stated, "NSWMA supports efforts to compost food waste generated in New York City, but the bill creates precisely the wrong economic incentive for generators of compostable waste. Market forces should determine the price of composting material."
Toscano continued, "While composting waste is more environmentally sound than putting it in a landfill, such a program requires additional trucks for collection and, in New York City, further distances to dispose of it, reducing some of the environmental gains. Further, New York City is trying to reduce transfer station capacity that could be used for this material to consolidate compostable materials to send to compost facilities."
In its comments, NSWMA noted that no composting facility in New York City is available to commercial carters, and there is insufficient capacity at composting facilities outside the city. If such a facility was available and competitively priced, it would encourage more carters and their customers to divert food waste from the commercial waste stream. Because carters are currently required to travel at least an additional hour each way to tip food waste at composting facilities outside the city, the cost associated with that added transportation often outweighs the savings associated with the lower tipping fees at such facilities.
NSWMA and its members have met with City Council staff several times over the past few months to explore the extent to which the existing transfer station infrastructure in New York City can accommodate source-separated food waste. NSWMA advised them regarding serious operational, regulatory and permitting obstacles that exist.

Here's a great example of what happens when projection mapping meets social media. Yesterday we saw a nice piece of experiential marketing from adidas with their 'Ready to Run' campaign, now here is a nice piece of projection from adidas that let's the user see their name in lights!
This 'Light You Up' Projection from adidas was held in New York's Madison Square Garden and features the Argentinian soccer star Messi. Facebook fans were invited to log onto an adidas Facebook app and post an answer to the question 'What does light get you?' Each response was rewarded with the person's name appearing on the big screen, plus a sharable image and video. A great piece of social/real world integration. Nice find Alicia!

YouTube announced that the top of its new commenting system will be based on content and creators rather than the just the most recent lame comment.
The announcement came on Tuesday on the official YouTube blog, where it somehow equated the "awesomeness" of a Justin Timberlake comment with "the last random person to stop by." (Well, maybe the last person to stop by was Lady Gaga or Iranian president Hassan Rouhani, YouTube. You don't know everything. Maybe users also don't want to see comments from their aunt or mom on top of the comment section, either.)
Instead, those in the user's Google+ circles or ones from users with a larger Google+ following will be ranked near the top. Likely, this is in hopes that it will cut down on the high number of "This sucks!!!" or other trollish comments currently found on YouTube videos.
U.S. & World
Other changes include threaded comments, and even private comments seen only by certain Google+ users, rather than blasted publicly.
As said earlier, this could be good if it's used by celebrities to interact with fans, but it can also lead to reading a lot of comments from acquaintances or relatives. Luckily, if users tire of that scenario, they can still go back to reading the most recent comments.

This Man Has X-ray Eyes! (Aug, 1949)
This Man Has X-ray Eyes!
By West Peterson
I picked up a piece of chalk, walked to the blackboard and scribbled "Mechanix Illustrated." Kuda Bux, the Indian mystic, accepted the chalk from me and wrote the title of this magazine again. Not only that, he copied my handwriting.
"You shouldn't forget to dot the i," he admonished.
I pulled a dime out of my pocket and held it in the palm of my hand.
"You want to know the date—yes?" Bux said. "It's 1939."
"Okay," I said. "See if you can read this."
I handed him the noon edition of a newspaper. It had just hit the street. He couldn't possibly have seen it before.
Without hesitating, Bux read the headlines on the front page, then some of the lead stories. He turned to the financial section and rattled off a list of stock quotations.
Easy? Nothing to it? Sure—except that during all these tests Kuda Bux was blind-folded!
There wasn't a chance for him to use his eyes. I'd made sure of that. First I put a wad of baker's dough in each eye. I covered these wads with thick sections of cotton batting, which I bound tightly in place with several yards of surgical bandage. Then I tied five towels securely around his face and head. He looked like a hospital. case who had barely survived a major auto accident.
Nor was there any possibility that he had an accomplice. We were alone in his hotel room on upper Broadway in New York City. Any sort of trickery seemed absolutely out of the question.
Kuda Bux has been called a yogi, a mentalist and an Indian fakir. Probably the most fitting label for him is "The Man with the X-ray Eyes." For more than 20 years he has astonished theater audiences in Canada, England and on the Continent with his feats of "extra-retinal vision" (or "seeing without eyes"). Recently he baffled millions of American television viewers when he filled a 13-week engagement on WNBT, New York.
Bux is a sturdily built man of 43, somewhat under average height, with a swarthy complexion and a neatly trimmed mustache. His most striking feature are those black, penetrating eyes staring at you from the opposite page—the eyes he doesn't need for seeing.
A native of Ahknur in India's Kashmir Valley and the son of a respected government official, Bux says he was about 12 years old when he discovered he could get visual images with his eyes shut.
In India there's a version of the game known to every American youngster as blindman's buff. Bux played it and promptly amazed his friends by proving he could see almost as well with a blindfold as without one.
With "concentration, practice and faith" —and perhaps with the mysticism for which the Indian yogis are famous—Bux declares he "perfected" his gift.
While still in his 'teens, he began giving demonstrations of extra-retinal prowess. He became a professional entertainer after leaving the Kashmir to make his home in England. During the war he flew to all parts of the world to perform before British and American troops.
But it was on television that he reached his largest and most interested audience. In theatrical jargon, Kuda Bux "wowed 'em" over the airways.
For each performance the mystic was elaborately blindfolded, much as I had done in the private test for Mechanix Illustrated. Wads of dough or putty were put in his eyes, then he was swathed in layers of bandages. By dozens of feats Kuda Bux proved his powers of perception despite all the heavy coverings sealing his eyes tight.
He threaded a needle.
He picked a fish of specified color out of a goldfish bowl.
He read books and magazines.
He duplicated writing on a blackboard.
He fired a rifle and hit a bull's-eye.
And he even rode a bicycle among other cyclists competing in a six-day race!
It was this last test that was undoubtedly the most spectacular. Appropriately, he did his blind bicycling under the sponsorship of the late Robert L. (Believe-It-Or-Not) Ripley. Bob Considine, author and commentator, did the blindfolding at the scene of the race—the Third Engineer Group Armory in New York City.
Bux was a little shaky when he started to cycle around the track. Gradually he picked up speed. He had completed two full laps when his feet slipped from the pedals. He crashed into one of the cots on which the competitors took their naps. It was an accident that could easily have happened to anyone using normal vision.
Though he suffered cuts and bruises, Bux picked himself up, remounted the bike and made another circuit of the track.
In common with the many medical doctors, psychologists and would-be debunk-ers of psychic phenomena who have studied Kuda Bux in the past, the members of the TV audience gasped: "We see it but we don't believe it!"
And yet this Indian mystic's feats have to be believed!
On city streets both in England and Canada, Bux has driven automobiles for considerable distances while blindfolded—and without once getting a traffic ticket! Of course, it's a snap for him to play bridge or billiards while his eyes are covered. And at both games he does far better than most players who are using both eyes without any blinders. Bux' mysterious X-ray eyes won't penetrate everything. I learned this in my interview with him when I pulled out my driver's registration card but put my hand over it.
"I can't read it," he smiled, "if you won't let me 'look at' it!"
He makes no claim to be able to see through a brick wall. Nor can he see through clothing, in case you were wondering.
Just to make things a little more confusing, Bux needs glasses—specs with heavy horn rims—for reading fine type, such as in a telephone directory, when he is not putting on his blindfold act. This business of seeing without eyes is just one of many things the versatile Bux can do, thanks to his yogi mysticism.
How does Kuda Bux come by his extraordinary powers? Dr. J. B. Rhine, head of the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University, told of his remarkable experiments in extra-sensory perception in How Good Are Your Hunches? in the April issue of MI. One clairvoyant student, you recall, named 25 successive cards correctly without seeing them. But none of the Duke clairvoyance experiments reveals such amazing insight as Kuda Bux shows in any of his blindfold tests.
The mystic himself is reluctant to give any explanation beyond referring to his "concentration, practice and faith"—and the development of a sixth sense—what Dr. Rhine calls E.S.P.
"You must never underestimate the power and knowledge of man," Kuda Bux declares. "With yogi, the development of physical, mental, spiritual and moral faculties of the mind—all things are possible."
Bux is now working on the matter of levi-tation—-the ability to soar off the ground. He wants to "train himself to lie suspended in the air, defying the law of gravity. And who is there to say that he won't some day succeed? Haven't you ever heard of the Indian rope trick?
Seeing Kuda Bux perform those amazing stunts with his carefully blindfolded X-ray eyes is believing that he can defy the laws of nature and really do the impossible.

A Very busy day at the DAR Library
(see below for the reason)
(see below for the reason)
This is part 3 of my article, this week, about working at the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) in Washington, DC.
A few of the staff genealogists asked if I was interested in genealogy. What? I had no idea what they were talking about. I had a little interest, and all I knew about my heritage was that I was 1/4 Dutch, and my grandmother was from Canada, so I thought, also part Canadian. My father was born in Illinois, his line was from somewhere and they just plopped in Evanston. I knew nothing else. Thank goodness, being a DAR member was not a requirement for being an employee. Although most employees were women, there were a few men working as well. There was a staff of about 25 in the Genealogy department, but not all were genealogists, nevertheless, you can see, it was a huge department. The Library was a large department as well. The 360-degree view of the Library is wonderful, and I'm posting the site again. http://www.dar.org/omni/virtualtours/hq/index.html
If you ever get to Washington, DC, I strongly recommend the building as a building to visit. For you genealogists (men or women), by all means, please go. The cost is something like $6 for the day, no cost for DAR members. For the children and wife, they can take a tour of the period rooms and see the Museum. All information is on their home page. One of the nicest things about the Library is that their books are listed in the card catalog, http://www.dar.org/library/onlinlib.cfm so you can see ahead of time their holdings. A great way to prepare your research there. In addition, there is a microfilm center, a place where I almost went blind and wore my arm out. Even to this day, I can't do more than three hours of microfilm at a time or I get dizzy.
The genealogy bug hit me about two weeks later, when I received a wonderful package from my mother, then living in Massachusetts. Among the items I received were a copy of her DAR application, birth records for her and me, information about her chapter in Connecticut, and other documents and papers. I had no idea about this part of her past! Within minutes, I rushed to a few people and told them what I found out. One employee, in particular, a now CG, took me under her wing. She explained that the DAR was trying to get as many new members on board because the following year was their huge 100-year celebration, the Centennial. From that moment forward, that is just about all I heard about until it happened. Of course, there was a lot of learning on how to do my research. I did a huge amount of work, but I was really lucky because many on the staff helped me, but no matter what, I never paid attention to the whole thing about citations and working on the whole family, I did just my line, can you imagine? And even today, I am making corrections and trying to find sources to put where they should be. I might not have been really lucky, because I found so many lines really quickly, thus moved from family to family in a heartbeat, and could never keep them straight.
On my first day of research, I clearly remember. My genealogy friend knew my great grandparents were from New Haven, and immediately brought me up to the 3rd floor, where she pulled out a 1920 city directory...there he was listed. I was shocked. Then the same week, I found a great book on Durham, Connecticut, which had the births and marriages in chronological order of my mother's DAR patriot, I learned how to trace my line, staying up to 2 AM, and yes, I did sneak the book out, but the Librarian knew it. The next thing, within that first week, was, my friend went to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in DC and got a copy of the 1920 Federal Census of my grandparents, listing my father as being one year old. I had no idea what a census looked like, and was pretty impressed.
In the following months, I took all my breaks, lunchtime, and many bathroom trips via the Library to research also went to the Library on the weekend. I think some of the Library staff must have wondered about seeing me all the time. And my bosses, well they must have known and wondered why I was doing so much xeroxing. At this time, I was working on the same line as my mother, but I discovered another Revolutionary War patriot and decided to use him, and his name was added into the book, DAR Patriot Index, a three-volume set of books, which lists the patriots that the DAR members have used. Because of my connections, all my paperwork went through the channels rather quickly. I decided to join the same chapter my mother belonged to in Connecticut. Those members were thrilled to have a new member and when some of them visited the DAR, I got to meet them. However, when I moved, I dropped my membership. If I remember correctly, the chapter was disbanding, as did the one where I now live. Unfortunately, that has happened to many chapters.
The 100th Anniversary Celebration was in October 1990, there were so many planned events. Some for all employees (like receptions) and some just for members. As I fit both categories, I attended a lot of things, and still managed to do my job. There was a lovely reception at the Capital Hilton Hotel, I believe on Sunday afternoon to kick off the week of festivities. The birthday dinner also at the Capital Hilton Hotel was a night I won't ever forget. Everybody was dressed to the nines, and very happy. Indeed, a nice experience. The photo below is of the President General cutting a cake in the Library. And as shown in the photo above, not a seat to be had that same day. Everybody wanted cake and to do research.

Standing on the shores of the beach, the ocean seems to extend indefinitely. According to Rickey Lewis of Swansboro, that�s exactly what his longtime friend, Earl Dupey, loved about it.
Standing on the shores of the beach, the ocean seems to extend indefinitely. According to Rickey Lewis of Swansboro, that�s exactly what his longtime friend, Earl Dupey, loved about it.
�We�d always have conversations about what was on the other side,� Lewis said. �He loved looking at the ocean and enjoyed the freedom it had. It had endless opportunities. It was his safe haven.�
Lewis is among the friends and family remembering Dupey after he was the victim of a fatal New Year�s Eve night hit-and-run accident on N.C. 24 near Hubert Boulevard. Dupey, who was 30, is survived by his mother, Ycola Dupey, his father Earl Dupey Sr. and his sister Sabrina Dupey. Sabrina Dupey said she was across the road from her brother when the incident occurred.
�I didn�t want him walking across the road, so I told him I�d come and pick him up,� Sabrina Dupey said. �I honked the horn to get his attention and as he was walking back across the road, he got hit.�
Before he was airlifted to New Hanover Medical Center, Sabrina Dupey said her brother seemed to be in stable condition, but by the time the helicopter reached Wilmington, her brother was gone.
�I cried and cried and cried,� Sabrina Dupey said. �He was my only brother. I don�t have any other brothers and sisters. It was just us.�
Lewis said he was at his home when he found out that his friend, who he had known since the two were kids, was dead.
�I couldn�t stand it and I had a break down,� Lewis said. �I had some people over and they had to sit me down. It was devastating. It was like losing my brother.�
Lewis described Earl Dupey as a Ferris Bueller-like person who had an easygoing personality and was the �common denominator� between school social cliques as they graduated from Swansboro Middle and High schools. Though Lewis said Dupey was relaxed about most everything in life, one topic that would guarantee spirited discussion was Dupey�s favorite team: the Green Bay Packers.
�Earl was beyond the Packers No. 1 fan,� Lewis said. �When we were kids, he would save up all the money he could during football season so my dad could pay for Pay-Per-View to watch the Packers. He especially liked Brett Favre because despite all the struggles he (went) through, he would at least try to come out on top. Earl was a lot like that, too.�
Sabrina Dupey said she remembers the joy the most recent Green Bay Packers championship in 2010 brought her brother, and she bought him Packers-themed clothing this past Christmas.
�He never got a chance to wear them,� Sabrina Dupey said. �We�re going to put it in the casket with him.�
Friends and family remembering Earl Dupey also mentioned his sense of humor and his love for making people happy. Jackie Stevens, who said she has been friends with Dupey for the past two years, said he was the sort of person who could turn a stranger into a friend instantly.
�His arms were always open to you, even if he just met you,� Stevens said. �He�d slap hands with you or give you a hug and ask you how you�ve been even if he just met you.�
Lewis said Earl Dupey came to his aid at one of the worst times in his life, after his mother died soon after he began the 6th grade. Dupey brought food and comfort to Lewis� home on a daily basis, according to Lewis.
�He was the person who kept my head on my shoulders as she passed away,� Lewis said. �Even at that age, his heart set him apart.�
Only two days after his passing, more than 600 people have already gathered on a Facebook memorial page to share photographs and memories of the man whose life ended as a new year prepared to begin. A visitation is scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m. on Saturday at Saunders Funeral Home in Jacksonville
As of late Thursday, the make and model of the car that stuck Earl Dupey � believed to be a GMC or Chevy truck � has not been determined and a suspect has not been identified, according to troopers with the N.C. Highway Patrol. Anyone with information regarding the hit and run is asked to call the Onslow County Highway Patrol at 910-862-3134 or Onslow County Crime Stoppers at 800-334-7411.
Sabrina Dupey hopes the person responsible for her brother�s death will end the investigation and bring closure to her, her family, her brother�s friend and the case as a whole.
�I want the person to step forward,� she said. �Face responsibility for what you did to him. Knowing my brother, he would forgive that person two seconds later.�

This year Nissan commemorates 35 years of Z production with a special anniversary edition coupe, and there's much more to the model than just the unique badging. A significant dose of performance has also been added, including a bump in engine output to 300 horsepower, big Brembo brakes, 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels and improved aerodynamics. There's also a new, very special high-chrome pearl Ultra Yellow pigment on the color chart.
The coupe, introduced as an all-new model for 2003, and the convertible, which debuted last year, get important upgrades, new features and revised transmissions. All 350Zs share the same sports suspension and Nissan's superb V6 engine, which punches out 287 horsepower and strong torque. Both models come standard with racy hardware: a six-speed manual gearbox, carbon-fiber driveshaft, drive-by-wire throttle, anti-lock discs vented front and rear with electronic brake-force distribution. Add the convenience features that come standard, such as automatic temperature control and a premium stereo, and the price of the Nissan 350Z is compelling.
Coupe or roadster, the 350Z delivers racecar handling, rear-wheel drive, and thrilling acceleration performance. The suspension keeps the tires glued to the road through fast chicanes. Bounce over the curbs on a road racing circuit and the Z will hold its line. Styling details like the controversial industrial-design door handles ensure this car will never be called bland.
Nissan says the 350Z was designed to be a sports car an enthusiast can live with every day. While its firm ride, abrupt throttle response, and awkward cup holders don't make it a great place to drink coffee, eat doughnuts, and make phone calls on the way to work, it is a comfortable car with usable cargo space, and getting in and out isn't impossibly awkward. Order a version with the excellent five-speed automatic, and you'll have a better commuter for the daily stop-and-go.
Bottom line: The Nissan 350Z is no poser. It more than delivers on the promise of its stellar looks. It's a real sports car with serious GT performance. The Roadster adds wind-in-your hair freedom.
Nine variants of the Nissan 350Z are available: six coupes and three roadsters. All come equipped with the same 3.5-liter V6 engine.
Differences among them lie primarily in trim. Different size wheels and tires, however, give the models distinct personalities. The exception is the Track model, which features higher spring rates and shock damping along with bigger brakes.
All models for 2005 get several new standard features, including a Tire Pressure Monitor System, a driver's seat front and rear lifter, heated outside mirrors and a faster processor for the optional navigation system. The clutch effort for manual transmissions has been reduced, and automatic transmissions now come with rev-matching blips of the throttle on the downshifts.
The base Nissan 350Z ($26,500) comes standard with 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, vented front and rear disc brakes with ABS, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, dual stage air bags, seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters, automatic temperature control, 160-watt AM/FM/CD with six speakers, power windows (with auto-up/auto-down on both sides), power door locks, power mirrors, remote keyless entry, vehicle security system, a leather steering wheel and shifter boot, comfortable cloth seats and pre-wiring for satellite radio. It comes with a six-speed manual transmission.
Enthusiast ($28,450) is the most popular model. It adds xenon headlamps, HomeLink universal transceiver, cruise control, traction control, viscous limited-slip rear differential, aluminum pedals, day/night rearview mirror, dual illuminated visor vanity mirrors. The Enthusiast model is also available with a five-speed automatic transmission with a manual mode ($29,450). The Roadster Enthusiast ($34,150) reverts to the 160-watt stereo and fabric seats but keeps the four-way power driver's seat and two-way power passenger's seat. Neither the seats nor the mirrors get heaters.
The Performance model ($30,650), available only with the manual gearbox, adds 18-inch wheels and tires, Vehicle Dynamic Control (an anti-skid system), and a tire-pressure monitor.
The Touring model is available with manual or automatic transmission. The Touring automatic ($31,800) comes with leather-appointed seats with a four-way power driver's seat, a two-way power passenger's seat, and seat heaters, heated mirrors, and a 240-watt Bose CD6 with cassette and seven speakers. But it does not come with Vehicle Dynamic Control or the aluminum pedals, and it's fitted with the 17-inch wheels. Order the Touring model with the six-speed manual ($33,400) and you get all the luxury stuff plus VDC, 18-inch wheels, and the aluminum pedals; it's a Performance model with leather and other luxury goodies, in other words. The Roadster Touring models add supplemental side airbags.
The Track model ($34,300) gets vented Brembo brakes, 18-inch rubber mounted on lightweight aluminum wheels, and front and rear spoilers. It comes with the cloth, but is equipped with VDC, the viscous differential, xenon headlights, tire-pressure monitor, HomeLink, aluminum pedals (of course), the electrochromic mirror, and illuminated visor vanity mirrors (to ensure your hair is safely tucked under your helmet).
A side air bag and curtain air bag package ($569) is optional on the hatchback and a very good idea, as is the supplemental side air bag option ($250) on the Roadster Enthusiast. A DVD-based navigation system ($2,000) is available.
No sunroof, no T-top is available on the hatchback, so if you like high-performance, top-down motoring, your choice is the roadster. Nissan says high-performance parts will be available from Nismo, the company's racing division that competes at Le Mans and other sports car venues. Look for engine, suspension, and body bits.

The 350Z looks aggressive with its bulging front fenders and fast back. The shape of the Z suggests a mid-engine design. The engine is in fact in front of the driver, but it's behind the front axle. That's why Nissan calls it a front mid-ship placement (somewhat similar to the Mazda RX-8 design).
The Z shares its underbody architecture with the Infiniti G35 coupe and sedan. Moving the engine rearward evens out weight distribution, which improves handling balance. The Z Roadster adds more than 200 pounds to the hatchback's 3,200 pounds, but the weight front/rear weight split remains at 53/47 percent. It's balanced well for accelerating out of corners.
An extremely short front overhang and a short rear overhang make for agile handling. It also means you don't scrape driveway transitions like you do in a Corvette. Bulging fender flares make the Z look like it's ready for the racetrack, which it is.
The hatchback's shape helps the Z slice through the air with a minimum of drag (0.29 on the Track model). The Roadster's more traditional coupe outline isn't quite as slippery, attaining a drag coefficient of 0.34. (But what do you care when you've got the wind in your hair?) Underbody airflow is managed well, with zero lift on the front (and zero lift on the rear of the Track model). All this math adds up to relatively low levels of wind noise, even in the Roadster with the top up, and a stable sports car at high speeds.
With the top down, conversation in the Roadster required only slightly raised voice levels; the stereo did, however, have to be cranked up a bit.
Inside the 350Z is a cockpit designed for driving, helping the driver quickly become one with the car. The carbon-fiber colored cloth seats are form-fitting, supportive and comfortable, made of a soft material that grips the body in the corners. The driver's seat bottom features a mound in the center at the front to restrain the driver from sliding forward under deceleration. Aggressive side bolsters grip the waist to hold the driver in place. The leather seats in the Touring model feel a little firmer than the cloth, and are available in charcoal, burnt orange or frost. Either cloth or leather are good choices in this car. The supportive seats and a driver's dead pedal mean you never feel like you have to hang on.
The seating position should be good for drivers with long legs, though the steering wheel felt a little close when the seat was adjusted for the legs of a six-footer. It's worth noting, however, that this feeling went away the moment the key was turned in the ignition. The Roadster boasts an inch more headroom than the hatchback, thanks to the articulation of the top's various mechanicals.
Tilt the steering column and the main pod of gauges moves with it, ensuring a clear view of the instruments for drivers of all sizes. The instruments consist of a big tachometer and flanking speedometer, fuel and temperature gauges. Reminiscent of the original Z, nestled in three pods on top of the dash are a voltmeter, an oil pressure gauge and a digital trip computer. They look retro-cool, but reading them requires more than a glance.
Two toggles to the right of the steering wheel operate the trip computer, used to check outside air temperature, distance to empty, speed, average mileage, and average speed. It has a stopwatch function (to check out those 0-60 times), and a tire-pressure monitor for 18-inch wheels. With the Trip Computer, the driver can program a shift light to come on at a certain rpm. The small red indicator on the tachometer begins flashing about 500 rpm before the preset engine speed is reached, whereupon it comes on solid. You can program it for the ideal shift points for acceleration or fuel economy, then let your peripheral vision pick up the indicator. We've seen race cars with this feature (though the red shift light is sometimes as big as a golf ball). If you don't like this feature you can turn it off.
The interior of the Z seems to suggest a carbon-fiber racecar tub. The material surrounding the shifter and forming the center dash looks like carbon fiber. Likewise, the large expanse of gray material lining the door panels suggests carbon fiber in appearance. The quality of the materials is okay, though some of the pieces would never be allowed in an Audi. It looked austere at first, but grew on us. Stylish interior touches, such as the inside door handles integrated into aerodynamic pods for the side vents, give the Z a racy, modern look; with the AC at work on hot days, the handles chill to fit their frosty look. Passengers often grope for the door release the first time they try to get out, distracted by the big grab handles adorned with genuine aluminum and relieved by the Z's dot motif.
Stylish audio controls include a big volume knob, clearly marked buttons for channel seeking, and six station buttons that can be preset simply by holding them down. Below the radio are three large knobs for the automatic climate control system, which comes standard.
Nicely designed wiper and headlamp controls are mounted on short stalks. The leather-wrapped steering wheel looks and feels great, and comes with cruise controls. Overhead are well-designed map lights and a bin for sunglasses. Power window switches are auto-up/auto-down. Two power points are available, one in the center console, the other in the bulkhead between and behind the seats (but neither is conveniently located for radar detectors).
The Z is not the best place to drink things. There's a pair o
Driving Impressions
Turning the key and hearing the engine roar to life is the first indication the Nissan 350Z is no poser. Turning onto a winding road proves this beyond a shadow of doubt. Sharp steering, terrific handling, and excellent grip make it a real driver's car. This car is very fast with brilliant acceleration. The Roadster's additional weight, a result of the platform strengthening to increase rigidity, no doubt adds a tick or two to the 0-60 measurement but isn't noticed in everyday driving.
Mounted longitudinally and driving the rear wheels is Nissan's excellent VQ V6 engine. It's smooth and sounds like a big sports car engine. It generates lots of torque at low rpm, pulling smoothly from about 2000 rpm. Maximum torque of 274 pound-feet comes at 4800 rpm, tapering off as 287 horsepower is reached at 6200 rpm. The engine is still pulling smoothly as the rev limiter steps in somewhere just north of 6500 rpm, but this engine is more about low-rpm torque than high-revving horsepower. Nissan's Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System helps the V6 produce a nice, linear band of torque. Drive-by-wire technology reduces mechanical weight and complexity.
The short-throw shifter feels good and it's effective. The six-speed gearbox shifts quickly and deliberately. It feels perfectly synchronized, making shifting easy and enjoyable. Clutch pedal effort has enough heft to remind the driver that this is a serious sports car. With the Roadster's top down, the exhaust tone is music to the driver's ears, rising and falling melodiously and crisply as the gears are worked through the turns on a twisty road.
The automatic transmission works great, really smooth and responsive, and it didn't leave us feeling like we were missing out by not having the manual. The Touring model with the automatic and 17-inch wheels felt like the perfect combination for hurtling down New York's Taconic Parkway. With manual mode selected, the automatic holds lower gears right up to the rev limiter, upshifting only when the driver desires. Downshifts are electronically managed to ensure an overly rambunctious pilot doesn't over-rev the sweet V6. The delicious exhaust tone is wasted on Roadsters fitted with the automatic, though, when it wanders almost aimlessly up and down the scale as the engine slips seamlessly amongst the gears.
Handling feels taut and well controlled in both hatchback and Roadster. These cars really stick through fast sweepers, allowing the driver to keep the throttle down. The steering is sharp and accurate and the Z changes directions brilliantly in transient maneuvers, without excessive understeer turning in or sloppy oversteer coming out. Cornering is flat, without much body lean. The 17-inch tires generate lots of grip, even when driving in a rebellious manner. It's hard to imagine using it up outside a competitive event or emergency maneuver. The 17-inch wheels offer a better ride than the 18-inch wheels. In either case, the ride gets jouncy on bumpy roads, most noticeably when cruising slowly, but it doesn't beat you up and we expect a firm ride with a sports car like this.
Buffeting at highway speeds with the top down was much less than we expected, thanks to the tempered glass deflector mounted between the rollbars behind the seats and to racy body panels tapering back from each of the seat positions. Anti-flap seatbelt retainers further reduce the perceived buffeting effect. Rear side vision loses little to the convertible top, as the hatchback's quarter panel already blocks a sizable area of blind spot.
The brakes are easy to modulate, fun to use, and do a good job of stopping the car. Electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist come standard on all 350Zs. Just like it sounds, electronic brake-force distribution improves stopping performance by dynamically balancing front and rear braking forces. Brake Assist is a mechanical system that appli
The Nissan 350Z stands alone in its price class. This is the car for drivers who want serious sports car performance in a GT body without shelling out the big bucks. And Nissan has added a truly sporty variant to the mix with the 35th Anniversary Z.
Its rear-wheel-drive chassis is rigid and its suspension is taut for excellent handling. The V6 engine delivers lots of torque for strong acceleration performance. Whether you opt for the six-speed manual gearbox or the five-speed automatic, there are no dogs in the lineup. The interior is the weakest link here, but it grows on you with a little time spent living with it.

Detox is when the body's cleansing organs—the liver and kidneys—remove toxins that have entered the body through the air, food, or water and have built up in the body's tissues, organs, and blood. When done properly, a cleanse, or detox, should increase energy and overall well-being.
A detox can range from a full fast to a light, healthy eating plan that helps your body eliminate toxic elements. Everyday detox diet tips include drinking lots of water, eliminating caffeine and alcohol, eating organic foods, and loading up on antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables.
Popular detox herbs and supplements include aloe vera, milk thistle, dandelion root, turmeric root, milk-thistle seed, artichoke leaf, chlorella, rice bran fiber, sulforaphane, vitamin C, whey protein, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC).

On August 20, 2009, the Office of the National Coordinator released guidance on the "State Health Information Exchange Cooperative Agreement Program," and the State is rapidly reviewing that guidance. This guidance is available at
It is anticipated that the State application will include the description and potential funding of health-information exchanges at various entities in New Jersey. Because the State seeks to form a compelling state-grant agreement with the federal government, these projects will be selected by rigorously applying criteria developed in accordance with the Recovery Act, guidance from ONC, and State priorities.
More information on how to apply, relevant deadlines, criteria for applications, and the formal grant application process to the State will be posted at this web site, http://www.state.nj.us/recovery/ in upcoming weeks.

Drawing the Line on Redistricting
Compromise and cooperation have to begin at the beginning -- with the way congressional districts are drawn.
"The Hammer," as former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is known, got nailed, but don't look for big changes in Washington as a result.
Too bad, because last week's conviction of DeLay on money laundering and conspiracy charges offers an opportunity to set clear rules about money in politics and to come down hard on those who break them. Above all else, the case provides an opportunity to remove politics from the redistricting process.
That this won't happen shouldn't come as a surprise. DeLay's conviction caused a few ripples inside the beltway, but, like the ethics case against Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., it won't change anyone's behavior. Some lawmakers will always look for ways to bend the rules and a small number will get caught. But the penalties are usually light and memories are short -- for both elephants and donkeys -- so the DeLay case is destined to become a footnote in a chapter of history that might be called "Missed Opportunities."
The charges against DeLay stemmed from the redistricting fight that followed the 2000 Census. In court, both sides agreed that a political action committee started by DeLay raised $190,000 from corporations and sent the money to the Republican National Committee, and that the same amount of money went to seven Republicans running for the state House in Texas in 2002. What they disagreed about is the legality of the transfer. Prosecutors contended, and the jury believed, that the transaction violated Texas laws barring corporations from contributing to state candidates. The defense said no laws were broken.
With DeLay's help, six of the seven candidates won in 2002 and Republicans took over the Texas House for the first time in more than a century. They approved a congressional redistricting plan he was behind. In 2004, the GOP picked up six U.S. House seats in Texas, helping fuel DeLay's short-lived dream of establishing a permanent Republican majority in Washington.
A lesson that could be learned, but won't be, is that messes such as this wouldn't happen if the redistricting process was depoliticized. It already is in some states, including California, where voters just approved a ballot proposition calling for congressional boundary lines to be set by a panel of five Republicans, five Democrats and four individuals not affiliated with either party.With Republicans on the verge of picking up more than 15 seats – perhaps as many as 25 -- in next year's redistricting, it's far too late to make the change for this cycle. But it would make perfect sense, and give both parties time to accept the change, to make a decision soon that would kick in for the redistricting round that would follow the 2020 Census.Naïve? Perhaps. But the move to take redistricting decisions out of the hands of the party in power, which is how reapportionment is handled in 38 states, has at least one big Republican backer.
In his just published memoir, Decision Points, former President George W. Bush writes: "Our government would be more productive -- and our politics more civilized -- if congressional districts were drawn by panels of non-partisan elders instead of partisan state legislatures. This would make for more competitive general elections and a less polarized Congress" by creating more politically balanced districts likely to favor more-moderate candidates.
Such a Congress might be more willing to do what is best for the economy, or anything else, instead of what is best for the party holding power at the time. Imagine that.
But such a move would require state-level politicians to give up some of the power they crave. Forget that Bush says changing reapportionment rules would help "future presidents looking to tackle a big problem." Asking a politician to voluntarily surrender power is akin to suggesting someone with a two-packs-a-day habit cut back to just one smoke. It won't happen.

ENGM 185: Topics in Manufacturing Design and Processes
Cannot be used to satisfy any A.B. degree requirements
The course will consist of four main topics: 1) technical estimating, 2) design of experiments, 3) design for manufacturability, 4) statistical process control. We will review technical estimating (TE), a vital skill in today's rapidly changing industry. Illustrative and interesting examples will be used to hone TE techniques. Design of experiments (DOE) will be covered in detail using Montgomery's Design and Analysis of Experiments. Analysis of variance, model adequacy checking, factorial designs, blocking and confounding, regression models, nesting, and fractional factorial and Taguchi designs will be taught. Design for manufacturability (DFM) will be covered so that by the end of the course the student will know how to establish a successful DFM program to optimize and continuously improve designs and manufacturing processes. Cost estimating related to manufacturing processes will also be presented, followed by an overview of failure analysis techniques. The course will also introduce the basics of statistical process control, including the Shewhart Rules.
