Berkeley Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Presents: The Future of Telegraph Avenue is Now
The Berkeley Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee is pleased to announce a two-part program for April and May focused on Telegraph Avenue. Telegraph Avenue has been the subject of a great deal of planning and attention over the last year. There has been broad recognition in the City and in the Southside neighborhood that strong efforts must be taken to revitalize the declining commercial strip as a destination but also as neighborhood serving, most particularly between Dwight Way and Bancroft Avenue.
April 1, 2013 at Noon (Chamber Conference Room)
The Government Affairs Committee will discuss current planning and design efforts to address the area in general.
We will be joined by Mayor Tom Bates , representatives of Berkeley Design Advocates and Roland Peterson, Executive Director of the Telegraph Business Improvement District. The Mayor's Office has taken a strong leadership role relevant to Telegraph Avenue and has just kicked off a major neighborhood engagement. Berkeley Design Advocates did a day long design workshop last spring. The results of that workshop and the status of various recommendations will be discussed.
1834 University Avenue, Second Floor
May 6, 2013 (Noon at the Chamber Conference Room)
The Government Affairs Committee will be joined by Emily Marthinsen, UCB's Assistant Vice Chancellor of Physical and Environmental Planning, and Roland Peterson, to discuss the actual projects that are currently underway on Telegraph Avenue. Once again the discussion will focus on the length of the Avenue between Dwight Way and Bancroft Avenue. There are a number of projects underway that are sponsored by the UC as well as a number of private development projects that hold great promise for a revitalized Telegraph Avenue.

Jonah Hill wasn't always on a path to movie stardom and has the scar to prove it.
Hill, 27, who had two movies open this month, "Get Him to the Greek" and a branching out role in "Cyrus," opened up to Rolling Stone about the mysterious scar on his right arm. The deep scar covers his forearm and wraps around his elbow to disappear under his shirt.
"This is one of the biggest things ever in my life," Hill told the magazine referring to the scar.
U.S. & World
While in middle school, the actor found out his mother was suffering from cancer. His grades dropped and he began smoking weed, skateboarding and rebelling.
At 15, when he and a friend went on a joyride in an SUV a terrible accident changed his life around.
His friend recklessly turned the steering wheel back and forth, swerving the vehicle, while Hill's arm reached out the passenger door window. Losing control, the SUV flipped over injuring Hill.
All Hill remembers from the accident was waking up on a hospital bed, listening to doctors decide whether or not to amputate his arm.
But the worse part, Hill told the magazine, was seeing the faces of his parents, especially his crying mom.
"I said to myself, 'I'll never let them down ever again," Hill told Rolling Stone. "So I look at this scar every day. That reminds me to work hard."

CINCINNATI (AP) — The defending World Series champions have hit another low point in a rough season. Not only did they get shut out by Cincinnati's Homer Bailey, they didn't even come close to getting a hit.
Bailey threw his second no-hitter in 10 months and the first in the majors this season, pitching the Reds to a 3-0 victory over the slumping San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.
"It was a pretty easy no-hitter," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "We didn't hit too many balls hard. There weren't any tough plays. We only hit a couple balls decent. He was really overmatching us all night."
That's happened a lot lately.
The Giants fell a season-low five games under .500 (39-44) for the first time this season. The offense has been the big problem — two runs or less in nine of the last 12 games, five runs or fewer in 17 straight.
"We're in a tough stretch with the offense," Bochy said. "We've been sputtering. Hopefully this is rock bottom. Hopefully this is as low as it gets. But, I don't know what team would've hit (Bailey) tonight."
Bailey became the third Reds pitcher with more than one no-hitter, joining Jim Maloney and Johnny Vander Meer — still the only big leaguer to toss two in a row. Bailey beat the Pirates 1-0 in Pittsburgh last Sept. 28 and got another 17 starts later.
The Giants were no-hit for the 16th time. The last three pitchers to hold them hitless were all named Kevin — LA's Gross in 1992, Florida's Brown in 1997 and Philadelphia's Millwood in 2003.
Bailey threw the last of the majors' seven no-hitters last season, a 1-0 win in Pittsburgh on Sept. 28. Now, he has the first one of this season.
The last pitcher to throw one no-hitter and then another before anyone else in the majors accomplished the feat was Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, according to STATS. Baseball's career strikeout king did it for the California Angels on Sept. 28, 1974, against Minnesota, and June 1, 1975, vs. Baltimore.
Now, the Ryan Express has a worthy passenger. Bailey, a fellow Texan, grew up admiring Ryan and wears his No. 34 in tribute.
"Obviously being from Texas and what a legend he is," Bailey said. "To do it once is extra special. To do it twice — I don't really have the words for it right now."
Try Ryan-esque.
"He comes from the state of Texas that has produced a lot of no-hitters," said Reds manager Dusty Baker, who made the final out in one of Ryan's record seven no-hitters.
Bailey (5-6) allowed only one Giants batter to reach base and struck out nine in a tidy 102 pitches.
He walked Gregor Blanco leading off the seventh. First baseman Joey Votto alertly threw out Blanco as he tried to advance from second to third on a soft one-hopper that otherwise could have become an infield single for Buster Posey.
"Joey had a great heads-up play. I was almost a little late getting to the bag," Bailey said.
With 27,509 fans on their feet chanting "Homer! Homer!" Bailey finished it off in the ninth. He jumped to glove Brandon Crawford's high comebacker, struck out Tony Abreu and retired Blanco on a grounder to third baseman Todd Frazier.
Justin Verlander, Mark Buehrle and Roy Halladay are the only other active pitchers with a pair of no-hitters. Halladay, of course, threw one of his in the postseason against the Reds in 2010.
When Votto caught the throw for the final out, Bailey raised both arms in triumph, reminiscent of that grand moment in Pittsburgh last September, then hugged catcher Ryan Hanigan. This time, Baker got to celebrate too — he was in a hospital in Chicago being treated for a mini-stroke last September.
Teammates poured onto the field to celebrate and doused Bailey with a red sports drink.
It was the 16th no-hitter in Cincinnati history. No Reds pitcher had thrown a no-no at home since Tom Browning's 1-0 perfect game against the Dodgers at Riverfront Stadium on Sept. 16, 1988.
Bailey became the third pitcher in the history of baseball's first professional franchise to get more than one.
Vander Meer threw the only back-to-back no-hitters in major league history in 1938, beating the Boston Braves and Brooklyn Dodgers. Maloney had a no-hitter at Wrigley Field in 1965 and one at home against Houston in 1969.
Votto had a sacrifice fly off Tim Lincecum (4-9), and Brandon Phillips hit a two-run homer for all the help Bailey would need.
Lincecum had some of his best moments last season in Cincinnati. Relegated to the bullpen after losing 15 games during the regular season, he went 4 1-3 innings in relief to help the Giants win Game 4 and, eventually, their division series, the first step toward a World Series title.
This time, he ended up with his sixth straight loss on the road, a personal low.
"I just struggled overall," Lincecum said. "I was getting behind batters. I need to attack the (strike) zone better."
But there was no stopping Bailey this time.
Shin-Soo Choo hit Lincecum's fifth pitch deep to right. Hunter Pence jumped above the wall and had the ball deflect off the heel of his glove back into play. The umpires initially ruled it a home run, but overturned the call after a review and gave Choo a double. He eventually scored on Votto's sac fly.
Phillips hit a drive into the first row in left field in the sixth inning, his 12th homer for a 3-0 lead.
NOTES: The Giants moved LHP Mike Kickham into the bullpen, a day after he took his third straight loss. The rookie lasted only 2 2-3 innings in an 8-1 loss to the Reds. Bochy was noncommittal about how he'd reconfigure his staff again when RHP Chad Gaudin comes off the DL from a bruised elbow. He's eligible to return on Saturday.

Having a modern, up-to-date transportation system makes Colorado's economy stronger by putting people to work and attracting businesses and employers to the state and according to Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) officials, approximately 52 percent of the state highway infrastructure is in poor condition with roads degraded so badly that major reconstruction is necessary. Having a modern and efficient transportation system will help support economic growth in the area and for the people of Morgan County the effects of the latest CDOT project have already hit home.
Signs along I-76 near Dodd Bridge Road put up last week have alerted commuters to the impending construction, slated to begin in the month of March with a detour that will put traffic in a head-to-head configuration starting April 1. The configuration is expected to last through October, with minor work scheduled through the 2013 winter with detours scheduled to pick back up and resume April 1, 2014 through October 31, 2014. The project is scheduled for completion in the winter of 2014.
This project will have crews reconstruct both directions of I-76 from mile marker (MM) 84.9 to MM 91.1 in Morgan County, essentially covering the stretch of interstate from Fort Morgan to Brush. Crews will build or replace 13 bridges and one box culvert and the work will reconfigure two I-76 interchanges at State Highway 71 and Dodd Bridge Road to standard diamond interchanges.
Also, all on- and off-ramps are to be lengthened for a safer transition onto and off of the interstate. The existing six miles of interstate roadway, shoulders and ramps will be repaved with concrete. Long term drainage improvements will be made along the interstate in Brush.
C-DOT advertised this project in late December 2012, opened bids on January 24 and identified the apparent low bidder as the Castle Rock Construction Company. The project has contracted a cost of $37.6 million to Castle Rock Construction.
More information on the impending project can be found during information sessions in Brush including an upcoming Brush Chamber of Commerce luncheon, to be held at the Bunker Hill Country Club on Wednesday, March 13 at Noon where spokesmen from Castle Rock Construction will provide project details. Also, a public information session is tentatively slated for citizens on Monday, March 18 at 5pm at the Brush City Hall. For more information on the public information session, call the City of Brush at 842-5001.

Grow your fringe out with style
I was once told by a friend that anyone wanting bangs, almost never really wanted them, and should almost always go to therapy instead. Her delivery, although somewhat blunt (no pun intended), was not too far from the truth. But instead of booking your therapy session mid-fringe, you may find the need for professional help once you've decided to part ways with your fringe.
As a former fringe dweller myself, I know your pain; the constant itching, tickling, hair perpetually in your eyes and the more dramatic, accidental whack to face in an attempt to quell the constant annoyance. I feel ya girl. But not to worry - here are some of the most simple and stylish ways to turn your former fringe fears into a hair haven.
Sweep to the side
One of the easiest ways to overcome an outgrown fringe, is to sweep it to the side. Part your hair to the left or right (up to you), and use a comb to bring the hair forward and to the side. It's a great way to blend your bangs in seamlessly with the rest of your hair. For extra staying power, blow-dry into place and set with a styling product such as TRESEMMÉ Styling Hairspray Extra Hold available at Priceline.
Part in the middle
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Simply take your comb and run from the back to the front of your head, maintaining a straight line. Depending on the type of hair you have, you may want to use a round brush on your fringe when blow-drying to create that effortless windswept look.
Styling solutions
Headbands are an easy and on-trend solution for the 'too-short' fringe. Create a slicked back look with a styling product like SCULPTURE Sculpture Gel Spray from Priceline before adding your headband for further hold. But if your fringe is still too short to stay in place, try twisting your fringe off to either side, and securing it with clips. And if you've got a bit more time on your hands, braids are always a super stylish way to keep bothersome bangs out of your eyes.

Ive got it animating but not showing the view as it travels through the hollow boxes. What did I get wrong?
Has anyone ever created a light object that represents something like a torch, where the torch can be used in an animation as lighting. I could use maybe many luminance object within the ship design but just dont enough about that yet.
4. I then setAnilab to script editor mode with the command to: from 0 to 1 CamerLookByPath Param-1 0, Param 2 to 0, Param 3 to 0. Other anilab commands are unchanged.
I presume that I should be using the main window HollowSolidFollowbyPath.tcw, not the HollowSolidFollowbyPath.tcw Camera1 as the view?
Hi Andy, I think that just about covers it! Regards Tim
Ah, we appear to be getting our knickers in a twist! All I did was to use the MobileCamera, within AnimationLab, to follow the Path, once I had located it, as Andy previously suggested, using one keyframe to save the beginning position.Before animating, I switched to the right-hand view, changed to perspective set at 35°, rendered and then ran the animation.For using an Inserted Camera object, refer to Andy's help file again:- http://www.woodturningcad.co.uk/AnimLab_2018_v1_02.pdfas this gives the best reference guide, IMHO.Within AnimationLab, under Options/Frames/Rendering, I usually leave the choices as Default. I prefer to set the rendering within TurboCAD.Have fun!Regards Tim
So Im reposting my source file to see whats wrong, hopefully we can get this right as the whole ship design is coming along extremely well and Im excited about what I can do with the presentation but atm AL is foiling my plans.
Just wondering if one of you guys could make a quick video?

I have alopecia totalis which means I have no hair at all on my scalp, I've also lost my eyebrows and eyelashes. I don't get on with wigs, I find them very uncomfortable, so instead I wear headscarves, bandanas or hats. As the weather is getting colder I've swapped my summer bandanas for winter hats, but I haven't had much luck finding a good quality warm hat. They are either too itchy, not as warm as they look or too light and loose so that they are in danger of blowing off of my head on a windy day. Last winter I bought so many hats, but wasn't happy with any of them. So I was excited to try a knitted hat from Buffwear, a company that make a wide range of hats and other headwear.
The Buff Laki Stripes Hat is a knitted hat with bright stripes in various shades of blue. As soon as I opened the packaging I could tell that the hat was of really high quality. It is closely knitted in a very soft wool. There are no loose threads, and even after wearing it lots of times the wool hasn't gone 'fuzzy' - it still looks as good as it did on day one.
Inside the hat is a wonderfully soft fleece lining. This is what makes the Buff hat a winner for me as it feels great against the sensitive skin on my scalp. Since developing alopecia my scalp has become very sensitive and the material of some hats, especially knitted ones, are very irritating and itchy - this hat is so comfortable you forget you're wearing it. It feels nice and closely on my head and feels very secure and I don't worry it's going to blow away (which has happened with another woolly hat as we live on the coast and it gets very windy here).
The fleece lining has a high thermal insulation so it's perfect to wear in cold winter weather. As I've not got any hair, my head obviously gets very cold but the Buff Laki Stripes Hat has kept me lovely and warm, even on very chilly, windy days. I often put a fleece cap on under my other knitted hats as they seem to let in the cold wind, but I haven't needed to do that with this hat because it's lined and the wool and fabric are top quality.
Buff hats cost a little more than I'd usually pay, but now I've tried this one I can see why. In my opinion Buff hats are well worth the price. Their products are not only superb quality but they also look great. I love how my new hat looks and I wear it all the time while I'm out walking the dogs.
There is a wide range of winter hats available from Buff and I plan on investing in a different style soon. I highly recommend the Buff Laki Stripes Hat, and Buff products in general - five stars.

Earlier today, the folks over at AndroidPolice got their hands on a new version of the Play Store APK. The new version only had slight visual changes, but even then was heavier by more than 300KB compared to previous versions. This got Artem intrigued, and with a bit of detective work from him, he has uncovered one of the most requested feature in Play Store – Gift Cards.
It looks like Google is finally ready to release Play Store redeemable gift cards. Some developers have even compiled the hacked APK to get to the Redeemable gift card screen. In addition to the Gift card option, it looks like Google is also working on bringing Wishlist to the Play Store.
Redeemable gift cards has been one of the most requested feature from Android users, and it looks like Google is finally ready to bring it to the Play Store. Redeemable gift cards should help lower the piracy rate in the Android ecosystem and bring in more customers. I only hope that Google does not keep this feature U.S only, and leave Android users in other part of the world in the dark.

I love healing. I have four healers, three of whom I play fairly regularly. I tend to be automatically drawn to healers in games. I'd shift out from Bookin and throw heals if the group's dying. As plate DPS I run around telling people to stay still so I can bandage them.
Heck, in Team Fortress I default to the medic when my team's limbs are flying freely.
But I know a lot of people who avoid healing like a Lich-bourne plague. Curious, I asked a few of them why it wasn't their cup of tea, and thought back over some of my more negative experiences as a healer. I'm sharing these thoughts to see if anything rings true with you, whether you heal or not.
10. Visuals. Mostly we get to watch lil' boxes rather than the pretty moving pictures on the rest of the screen. I'll give that a moment to sink in. We don't actually see the game we're playing and paying for, whenever we're healing in a group situation, just some bars going up and down. I can see why people wouldn't want to watch that all the time. (Tho settling into the 'healzone' and watching those boxes can also be a reassuring balm for a healer. Or maybe that's just me.)
9. Reaction based. Playing a healer requires you to think fluidly rather than do the same things over again, like DPS rotations. While this might be great at times it can also be daunting to commit to constant thinking in a 'relaxing' game. Not only that but healing's very reaction based – current content tends to require quick twitch reactions both on plain ol' healing and getting out of yon fiery goo. Those reactions aren't something some people have permanently at their fingertips.
8. Personal preference. I believe there is a "role" in everyone. Some people ARE healer players. Some ARE tanks or DPS. What you play is obviously personal preference. But if you're getting uppity when playing your feral cat character because you're finding the rotation an absolute nitwibble, perhaps you're unlikely to go for another stressful role – healing – as a change.
7. Perfectionism. I suspect a lot of healers are perfectionists. Deep down, we like to succeed in keeping everyone in tip-top shape. I don't know about you but if people die from anything other than a one-shot, my thought is usually "I could have done better." Even if that person died while I was a jot busy, like avoiding adds while jumping out of fire and cleansing a ticking disease. And healing the main tank who's being mushed by an enraged boss. I can see some people might like to avoid engaging their inner perfectionist regularly.
6. People are stupid. Healing setups and assignments are things which some non-healers don't think about and aren't interested in learning about, whether or not it would help them support their healers and organise more cohesive groups. The amount of times I've been in PUGs which have said "we need 5 healers anything will do" and we get 3 trees, 1 holy priest and an offspec resto shaman and are then expected to heal a Festergut25 attempt… which leads on to:
5. Blame game. Other members of the group tend to look to us healers first if someone dies or things go wrong. Sometimes the blame's genuinely ours – everyone makes mistakes. Sometimes, in PUGs or randoms particularly, we're just the easiest ones to blame – people died after all, and that's what wiped us. Yep. Can't be anything to do with the hordes of uncontrolled adds chewing healers' faces off. Other times people aren't blaming us at all but asking for information on what we saw and because many healers carry the can of blame we can get used to assuming blame anyway. It's an uncomfortable position.
4. Responsibility. Healers are often put in a spotlight. Your tank healer is standing in the fire and your top DPS has eaten a nasty DoT. Which one dies? If you falter then everyone will die, if you make the wrong decision then everyone will die. Everyone might die anyway. Those decisions can be hefty responsibilities to shoulder and it's easy to have a rabbit-in-the-headlights reaction.
3. No influence. Think about it. If any tank says "jump down that hole" you jump down that hole. If a healer tells someone to do the same, the healer either gets told to "stfu", kicked, or a reputation for being mouthy – before they've finished the sentence. Even when the other half of the sentence is "…because if you don't those adds are going to rip out your ey-ohnevermindthen" Ah, the trials of being an unsung hero.
2. "Meh: Lose" situation. Being a healer's far from win-win; there's no criteria for personal 'win'. If people don't die then you're performing adequately – at present. If people die, you've 'lost' or failed. The closest healers get to winning is on healing meters, which amount to superfluous and unfair competition given that different healing classes perform in different ways. The healing puppetry show is far more than "Heals Per Second – that's the way ter do it!"
1. Mystery. Many gamers are used to "survive by killing that horde of zombies" or "save the world by sticking your sword in Mr. Mwhahahha until he falls over". Not "save the world by by enthusiastically patching up your group's assorted grazed knees and bumps on the head." For players used to the former mindsets and styles, I gather that rolling a healer and then progressing through a game primarily with friendly and defensive abilities is a bit like "now go and live the same life as everyone else does using nothing but a chinchilla for defence."
Now it's your turn. I'm curious about this – do you have any reasons to add as to why you or someone you know won't heal? Do you vehemently agree or disagree with any of these – or are you not fussed either way, given that it's just a game? And do you think shedding light on these things will get healers a little more respect – if indeed we deserve more?

In Gimp, I could do this by
"Layer/Transform/180 rotation" and then
"Layer/Transform/Flip vertically" -- and then with some mouse, putting things together but it is slow. I am now looking for simpler solution, particularly interested in Inkscape but also interested in other FOSS tools such as Gimp and Blender.
My goal is to save time by this
"reflection in line" i.e. by reusing. I want to do just half of the work and then get the other half easily. Similarly, suppose I do a four-times symmetric shape, I want to reuse the one piece to get the 360 degrees' shape.
How to do mathematical operations such as reflection in line?

- 3 tablespoons (or more) red wine vinegar, divided
Recipe Preparation
Cook onions in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 5-8 minutes; drain and let cool. Trim root ends and peel.
Preheat oven to 425°. Season lamb with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook lamb until browned, 5-8 minutes per side. Add onions and turnips to skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat in pan drippings.
Transfer skillet to oven and roast until vegetables are tender and browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of lamb registers 125° for medium-rare, 15-20 minutes.
Transfer lamb to a cutting board; let rest 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, coarsely chop cilantro and 2 cups mint. Place in a medium bowl; add shallot, garlic, lemon juice, Aleppo pepper, if using, 2 tablespoons vinegar, and remaining 1 cup oil. Season salsa verde with salt, black pepper, and more vinegar, if desired.
Transfer vegetables to a medium bowl; toss with remaining 1/2 cup mint leaves and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Slice lamb between ribs and serve with vegetables and salsa verde.

While the return to more market friendly policies has improved medium- and long-term growth prospects, the short-term outlook remains challenging.
Political situation
Head of state/government:
President Mauricio Macri (since December 2015)
Government type:
43.6 million (est.)
A reform-minded president in power, but obstacles remain
Since his inauguration in December 2015 President Mauricio Macri has addressed the important economic issues left by the former government (e.g. debt default and highly interventionist policies) by cutting energy subsidies, abolishing export taxes, lifting capital and currency controls and floating the (overvalued) Argentinian peso. In early 2016 Argentina negotiated a debt deal with remaining holdout creditors, which enabled the country to exit default and to return to international capital markets. Those measures have improved the economic relationships with the IMF, the US and Europe.
However, the government still lacks a majority in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, which means that Macri has to cooperate with the opposition in order to assure parliamentary majority for reforms. At the same time, the cut of subsidies and fiscal austerity policies have led to mass protests, and public support for economic reform has decreased, while mid-term elections are due in October 2017.
Economic situation
The shaky state of the economy remains
In 2016 GDP contracted by more than 2%, due to one-off effects of president Macri´s economic policy turnaround, an on-going recession in Brazil (Argentina´s main trading partner) and low commodity prices. Inflation increased to over 35% in 2016 due to a massive peso devaluation of more than 30% after the decision to float the peso and subsidy cuts. Many Argentine households were severely affected by those cuts and by sharply increased consumer prices.
Inflation is expected to decrease again in 2017 and 2018, while economic growth will return, helped by improved financial conditions after the country regained access to international capital markets and a more benign external environment. However, while peso appreciation should sustain export growth, this upswing could be severely dampened by any additional US import tariffs and any disruptions in global trade flows.
While the return to more market friendly policies has improved Argentina´s medium- and long-term growth prospects, the short-term outlook remains challenging. Fiscal consolidation is slower than anticipated due to political considerations and social pressures (see above), with annual deficits expected to remain above 5%, and with government debt rising further. The government debt structure (51% financed externally in foreign currency) makes public finances vulnerable to exchange and refinancing risks. For the time being, strong demand for Argentine debt mitigates those risks.
Argentina´s resilience to economic shocks remains limited due to continued low official reserves. Although liquidity has improved following the issuance of international bonds, it remains tight and is insufficient to cover gross external financing needs. This will keep the peso vulnerable to shifts in market sentiment. Structurally Argentina´s economy remains vulnerable due to its high dependence on commodities (agricultural products account for 50% of exports), a relatively high stock of inward portfolio capital (147% of official reserves), weak institutions, the issue of government finances and its history of debt default.
For the time being, many Argentine businesses will continue to face higher liquidity risks due to volatile credit markets, an uncertain political and economic environment, uncertainty over global bank loaning capacity, and a weak local currency, which is susceptible to further devaluations that could immediately increase debt leverage - especially for companies that hold significant foreign currency debt while generating revenues in local currency.

Netpulse may prove to have timed things perfectly during the recession—at least according to Bryan Arp, CEO of Netpulse, an interactive entertainment platform company that offers on-demand TV and videos on fitness equipment.
The San Francisco-based company fared well during the recession, Arp says, as club operators put off major capital expenditures, instead focusing on adding the Netpulse universally compatible add-on screen and entertainment platform to existing equipment in an effort to upgrade without buying new equipment.
Now, as some club operators seem to be adding money for capital expenditures into their budgets for 2011, Netpulse could again be the beneficiary. The company's platform is now no longer an add-on but an integrated part of six fitness manufacturers' cardio equipment.
"We hit the timing really well," Arp says.
Life Fitness, Technogym, Matrix Fitness, Star Trac, Octane Fitness and Woodway will now offer Netpulse's interactive digital media platform embedded in the touch screen control panels on their equipment. The integration will be showcased later this week at the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association Trade Show in San Francisco. The six manufacturers account for more than 70 percent of fitness equipment global sales.
The platform can be integrated into equipment already installed at clubs, as long as that equipment has a touch screen and isn't more than about one year old, says Arp, because the capacity of the technology on older equipment isn't great enough to support it.
The Netpulse platform tracks users' workouts and makes that history accessible on any Netpulse-enabled equipment. It allows for iPod/iPhone connectivity, personalized media playlists and access to social media. Exercisers also can view live TV and multiple channels of on-demand programs and music videos.
The platform captures data about what every member is viewing on the platform, and Netpulse can change the content it offers nightly based on what is popular. So far, on-demand TV is more popular than live TV. Music videos and movie trailers are also popular, Arp says.
"They don't want to watch a heavy drama," Arp says about users. "They like short, mindless content."
The technology integration does not add a cost to the fitness equipment, and no subscription is required to activate it, Arp says. Club operators just have to connect to the network, much like they would do with their computers.
The platform also offers asset management for club owners. From one location, they can log in to see the mileage on their equipment, see how often it is used and manage when it must be serviced.
The use of Netpulse's platform in each of these pieces of equipment won't lessen the ability of the fitness equipment manufacturers to differentiate their equipment from each other any more than the addition of TVs in equipment lessened that ability, Arp says. Instead, each fitness equipment manufacturer will innovate on top of the Netpulse platform.
And club operators will be able to differentiate themselves from their competitors who also have Netpulse-integrated equipment, Arp says, by writing different applications to be used with the equipment, something that Netpulse is already working on with several club owners.
Netpulse has been in talks with additional manufacturers about integrating the technology into their touch screen control panels, so Arp says to expect the platform to show up integrated on other equipment brands before the end of the year.
Right now, however, just the current six manufacturers will reap any benefits that the integration provides.
"It's a very nice solution," says Kevin Corbalis, executive vice president of marketing and product development at Star Trac, Irvine, CA. "Netpulse has been at it for quite some time. I think they've figured out a compelling business model that makes sense. We're happy to be involved and able to offer that through our system."
In addition to the introduction of this integrated platform, Netpulse added Mark Mastrov, founder of 24 Hour Fitness and now chairman of New Evolution Ventures, to its board of directors last month. Kurt Weinsheimer also joined the company as vice president of business development, and Joe Hawkins joined as vice president of operations.

Primer on Retirement
Visualizing Your Retirement Lifestyle Helps to Attain it
Dave Arnold
Most every education support professional (ESP) I know has a different idea about how they will spend their retirement years.
Some look forward to spending more time with friends and family and hobbies.
Others can't wait to hit the road in pursuit of new adventures. While there are many retirement lifestyle choices to make, one thing is common among ESPs: everyone wants financial security.
Becoming aware of Social Security benefits, increasing your knowledge about pension plans, and deciding how much income you will need during retirement are steps you can take today to help you assess what your financial situation may be like during your Golden Years.
Retirement Security
Most ESPs pay into Social Security as well as their own retirement system. In most cases, the employee and employer make contributions of a certain percentage of the employee's salary toward an ESP's retirement.
In Illinois where I work, ESPs are members of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF). It is owned and controlled by those who contribute to it. ESP retirement systems in other states may vary according to their state laws concerning public employees.
In Illinois, for example, ESPs pay 4.5 percent to the IMRF while the employer's contribution will vary based upon the financial profits of IMRF. In 2006, the employer's contribution was 9.2 percent. This year, it dropped to 8.6 percent.
Know Your 401
In some states, ESPs may be part of a 401(k) retirement plan. This is an area of concern. A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) states that "current retirement savings law, passed in 1974, does not explicitly require 401(k) plan sponsors to disclose comprehensive information on fees; yet even small fees can significantly affect savings over the course of a career."
The GAO gave an example of a 45-year-old worker who leaves $20,000 in a 401(k) account until retirement. If the average net return is 6.5 percent -- a 7 percent investment return minus a .05 percent charge for fees -- the account will grow to $70,500 at retirement. But if the fee is 1.5 percent, the person will have only $58,400 upon retirement.
Teacher retirement plans are different than those for ESPs. In many states, teachers do not pay into Social Security and rely entirely upon their own Teacher Retirement System (TRS). In Illinois and about a dozen other states, teachers are exempt from Social Security and subject to offsets.
In most cases, the employee and employer make equal contributions toward the retirement plan totaling about 9.4 percent. But there are also contributions toward retirement health care, which vary according to the employee's age and service years.
Some teacher Associations in the nation have bargained to get the employer to make 100 percent of the contribution. In Illinois and some other states, teachers have been given an early retirement option by the state.
Who's in Control?
Illinois lawmakers recognized that some school districts could save a considerable amount of money by replacing teachers at the top of the pay scale with new teachers starting at the bottom of the scale. So, the state gave teachers who were 55-years-old and above the opportunity to buy their additional years of service and retire early. ESPs were not given this option since their lower salaries and pay scale isn't as costly.
This may sound as though teachers have a better retirement plan than ESPs, but the beauty of it is only skin deep. TRS is owned and run by the state. ESP retirement systems are not, so we have more control over the funds. Our Association bookkeeper says she has to call the state office when she has a question. Local folks have no authority regarding TRS.
TRS funds are low in several states, including Illinois. Since the system is controlled by the state, state officials can access the funds if necessary. Several years ago, the state found it necessary to borrow from TRA to the tune of $3.5 billion.
After more than two years, the state still has not begun paying back what it borrowed from TRS. Consequently, some teachers ended up holding retirement checks that they could not cash because the money wasn't there. That made me much happier to be an ESP.
Impressions of Retirement
In a poll of American workers, Svea Herbst-Bayliss of Reuters Limited found that an ESP's retirement may be brighter than most. Consider this:
43 percent of Americans say they will have to re-enter work force almost as soon as they retire from it
8 percent say they hope they die before they get old and don't believe they could survive on retirement
25 percent say that they have saved nothing for retirement
41 percent anticipate medical expense to be their biggest challenge
61 percent of those polled said they would use an unexpected windfall of $1 million to invest for retirement
86 percent said they would strongly urge the next generation to start saving for retirement as soon as possible
ESP Member Excerpts
Saving for retirement isn't easy when you are just getting by with what you are bringing home. As my friend, John Brazee a custodian and warehouse manager from Jackson, Tennessee puts it: "I have fellow ESPs who basically work for so little that they usually have very little left over for any saving. They may have another source of income, such as a second job, a working spouse, welfare, food stamps, or something else. Therefore, any extra money is scarce. But I believe that with proper money management training, most ESPs could find $5 a month to save."
My friend Katie French is a former school bus driver and ESP council member from Effingham, Illinois. Her retirement is everything she had hoped for. She had fought many a battle with her school administrators over various labor and contract issues. Today, Katie's main battle involves changing the diaper of a reluctant great-grandchild. Since retiring, Katie and her husband have not seen much difference in their lives, financially speaking. Their Social Security, and her IMRF, incomes bring in close to what they were making while in the work force.
Sometimes we might be confronted with having to take an early retirement due to health problems. Such was the case of another friend of mine who also served on the Illinois ESP Council.
Bill Fowler of East Peoria had diabetes and was forced to take an early retirement. However, even after a knee replacement, Bill still remains an active part of the Illinois Education Association (IEA) and NEA. You might not ever see Bill making a presentation at an ESP conference, but you can be very sure that he is there working behind the scenes setting rooms up for presenters and running errands.
Bill suffered a reduction in income by taking an early retirement, but when his IMRF disability income is added to his Social Security disability income he makes ends meet. Not only does this suit Bill's retirement lifestyle at the moment, but also those of us who depend on his experience and expertise at helping to manage ESP conferences.

For many years. our Bankruptcy practice has included Newdale, NC. We like doing something we are good at, and we like the outcomes for our clients. Over the years, we have saved many houses from foreclosure, stopped many repossessions, and have taken the burden of unpaid debts off of many people who simply can't pay. Almost all of our clients are in bankruptcy court due to no fault of their own: there has been a sickness, job layoff, divorce, death in the family or some other event that could happen to anyone, but which ruins our clients financially. Our Constitution provides for a bankruptcy law because the framers knew that giving people a fresh start was important to a good economy.
One thing we like about bankruptcy law is that, unlike any other area of law practice, we can tell our clients that if they give us good information, they can be assured that the result will be the one they have been promised. The process is meant to be as straightforward as possible, because we know that our clients are anxious about how things will go.
The Bankruptcy Court meets in Asheville for the western part of the state, so many of our clients come from communities such as Marion, Murphy, Hendersonville, Robbinsville, etc. It means we get to know people from all over the mountains, which is something that we enjoy.
Bankruptcy is not the best choice for everyone, and in many cases, we can find ways to avoid bankruptcy while dealing with our client's debt problems. The best first step is to simply come see us so we can discuss your options in bankruptcy court. We want people to feel free to meet with us, so there is no charge for the initial consultation.

Accordance 9.2 Adds Magnify Zones and Image Browsing
Accordance 9 introduced the concept of "zones," areas of a workspace which automatically display different kinds of resources side by side. Most users of Accordance 9 have loved this feature, but what do you do when you open a bunch of different resources and end up with several tiny zones? What if you're viewing a map, timeline, or picture in a small zone and you want an easy way to enlarge it?
With Accordance 9.2—now available for free download to all users of Accordance 9—you simply click the new plus icon near the top left corner of the zone to Magnify that zone so that it fills the entire workspace!
Magnify Zone is just one of the cool new enhancements in Accordance 9.2. We've also added Next and Previous arrows to all image windows to give you an easy way to browse the images in a tool without having to scroll past all the surrounding text. We've combined the Easy Install and Automatic Update dialogs and made it possible for interrupted downloads to pick up where they left off rather than starting over from the beginning. That last improvement will eventually make its way into Accordance for iOS so that an unexpected phone call won't wipe out what you've already downloaded. (Can I get an "Amen"?) Accordance 9.2 also fixes a number of bugs and continues to improve Greek and Hebrew syntax searches.
To enjoy all of these new enhancements, simply choose Check for Updates from your Accordance menu, or download the free update here.

While many celebs are struggling to find buyers for their homes, Anderson Cooper had no difficult unloading his Manhattan abode. Curbed reports that the journalist and television personality unloaded his midtown penthouse for $3.8 million (the final sale record just hit public record) just one month after listing the pad on the open market.
Cooper reportedly did a number to the penthouse, giving it a head-to-toe renovation. His former digs boast Chambord oak floors, a floating staircase that leads up to an entertainment room with a wood-burning fireplace and dining room, chef's kitchen, a 1,700-square-foot private roof terrace, as well as two bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Maintenance charges for the swanky home total a hefty $3,184 per month.
Not only did Cooper's pad go into contract one month after a public listing emerged, but the CNN journalist originally listed duplex penthouse for $3.75 million. A profit and a quick sale? We're thoroughly impressed.

Young Diggy responds to a friendly "diss" off J. Cole's "Grew Up Fast", in which he also talked about Diggy's sister, Vanessa. No offense to Diggy, but you can certainly tell that he's 17 on this track: first he tells Cole that he has no friends, then he calls him a dweeb. Cole could easily rip Diggy in a beef, but I doubt he thinks it is worth his time.
Anyways, download the diss here, and check out the explained lyrics over on RapGenius.

Ok, my turn for a sob story:
I have the best wife in the world. Our anniversary is on 9/15 (same as Pete Carroll's birthday!). So instead of candlelit dinner at a fancy beachfront restaurant, she says, "Hey, we should go to the home opener and stay the night in Seattle!" HELL YES, I say.
Hotel reserved already... Like many others here I camped the ticketmaster online and on the phone before single tickets went on sale, but no dice.
Short version: Two loud, insane, obsessed Seahawk fans need tickets to the home opener against the 49ers. 150 per ticket is what I planned on spending. (I'm holding to that price for now, but I might get more flexible as the game gets closer, and once I have time to sell a kidney on the black market)
