1934 Ford Coupe - Hot Rod With Heritage
Building A Hot Rod . . . One Bone At A Time George Poteet's '34 Ford Coupe Tells A Tale
George Poteet collects hot rods with an eye toward varying genres and levels of build all the while patiently filling "gaps" in his hot rod collection. A few years ago he got in touch with Ken Schmidt and Keith Cornell at the Rolling Bones Hot Rod Shop in Greenfield Center, New York, about creating a '34 Ford three-window that would leave a definite dry lakes attitude. We're not sure who came up with the design, but our feeling is that George went to Rolling Bones for their vision and visual creativity.
After building a number of '32 Fords, including a couple of well-known three-windows, a five-window, and two '32 Tudors, Schmidt mentioned the strong desire to build a '34 three-window lakes-style coupe. George offered Rolling Bones the opportunity and supplied a body.
The body that George supplied had already been chopped about 3 inches, but not the way that Schmidt and Cornell had it planned, particularly when dealing with the front posts, so they cut it apart, reworked the windshield area, and ended up with a 7-inch chop that very much took it into a "lakes" realm. The rear window was reduced another inch after the chop to accentuate the overall look. The body rework on this car was extensive and subtle; the rear ducktail was tucked in about 3 inches to match the rear wheel radius and, if you look at the relationship between the rear tire and body reveal, the match-up is perfect and in line with the visual aesthetic. Balance and proportion are an important part of the Rolling Bones look, which keeps changing and becoming more interesting as they add to their resume. Surprisingly, they do not lose the traditional look of an early and authentic hot rod. This car is filled with louvers under the rear pan, the rear decklid, the Bobby Walden-built top insert, the part Rootlieb part hand fabbed hood, the frame covers, and partial belly pan configuration.
The front axle is a '48 Ford fitted with a Posies front spring, '32 front wishbones split and drilled to match the original '34 frame that is boxed, flattened, and pinched in front to match the hood and front end lines. The front crossmember is a '32 while both the front and rear framehorns have been removed to keep the frame at a minimal visual statement. The front and rear brakes are '40 Ford with the '40 rear bells attached to an N.O.S. Halibrand quick-change centersection containing a 3:78 ring-and-pinion and a No. 2 set of quick-change gears. The rear crossmember was created from two Model A units to work with a Model T spring. The overall wheelbase is stretched approximately 2 inches over stock now resting at 114 inches. The front shocks are handmade friction units with the rears being early Ford hydraulics.
The '40 Ford steering wheel ended up being the final choice and a handmade column attaches to a Schroeder sprint car 8:1 steering box that comes out of the driver side cowl to hook to the front steering components.
A Tanks 15-gallon gas tank is located in the trunk, which gives fuel to the 59AB '46 Ford block that is running a Merc crank with a 4-inch stroke for an overall displacement of 276 ci. The cam is an Isky 400 Junior, which Schmidt says they run in all their street motors because it's lumpy and has the right sound. The handmade headers connect to 1.75-inch pipes, which come out through the custom rear pan setup. Al Clark in Albany, New York, assembled the engine with the required aluminum heads and intake manifold and dual Stromberg 97 carburetors. The 59AB block connects to a T5 tranny (out of an S-10 Chevy) through a 10-inch clutch and aluminum flywheel. The radiator was built at a local shop and there are two other cores located up in the framerails with air-directing scoops to help keep it all cool along with an electric fan. Terry Hegman crafted the front grille and sprint car nose out of aluminum off a buck that Schmidt created, even allowing for the thickness of the metal. Jeff Decker cast the skulls that go on top of the grille or above the radiator on every Rolling Bones-built car.
The paint is custom PPG acrylic lacquer applied and carefully distressed and antiqued to resemble a beautiful piece of hot rod history. These guys have it down, and it has a lot to do with Schmidt's background experience as an artist. The numbering and lettering were applied and painted by The One Armed Bandit, who hails out of Connecticut. The smaller and shorter Guide headlights were carefully selected to match the overall look, along with the '37 Chevy taillights. The front Firestones from Coker are 4.50s on 4.5x16 early Ford steelies and the backs are 7.50s on 5x16 early Ford pickup wheels. The Stewart Warner gauges were individually raised and tunneled off the dash for better viewing and it all matches the stark and down-to-business interior that has the option of a saddle blanket covered bench seat or a set of aluminum bomber seats built by Frank Wallic. An early Ford shifter has been adapted to the top of the T5 transmission. The "air conditioning" is through a functioning cowl vent, the opening windshield (which is the only glass-in the vehicle-there are no side windows or rear window glass), and the top louvers. There are no bad angles on this car and one of our favorites is a side profile at El Mirage at near century mark speeds. Our guess is that any angle is a good angle on this piece of rolling history.

Down to business
Young Entrepreneurs Academy to present business concepts to public on May 31
With one student moving on to the regional competition in Texas and several others flush with funding from a panel of local businesspeople, participants in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy are on the move after the Shark Tank-style competition held Wednesday evening, April 16, at Portland Community Colleges Rock Creek Campus.
Competing among nine other Beaverton-area students, Snigdha Kanandibhotla took top prize for her Speak! And Be Heard, a tutorial app for smartphones and tablets designed to help users refine their public speaking skills. Receiving the full $1,270.24 she requested to launch the business, Kanandibhotla will advance to the Western Regional Competition in Frisco, Texas, on May 8 and 9. If successful there, shell progress to the national competition in Washington, D.C.
Drawing from a pot of $6,000, other burgeoning businesses that received the full amount of funding students requested include My Heavenly Helpers, Kristine Taylors concept to train staff to help seniors become proficient with social media and digital technology, and Cyan Perrys Hello Cyan line of vibrantly colorful, whimsical greeting cards. My Heavenly Helpers received $1,109, while Hello Cyan was granted $980.35.
In the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event, a panel of eight local investors listened to eight business proposals from nine students whove been learning the entrepreneurial ropes through a weekly after-school class at Beaverton High School.
Panelist Rhonda Coakley, a member of the chambers board of directors and business manager of Executive Suites at The Round at Beaverton Central, said the event was inspiring to students as well as her business colleagues.
It was just a great opportunity to bring families, businesses and community stakeholders together, she said. It was a great showcase for supporting our kids.
Some of her fellow panelists included Ava Roasteria founder Amy Saberiyan; Jerry Jones, Jr., vice president of Lanphere Construction and Development; Portland Community Colleges Rock Creek Campus President Sandra Fowler-Hill; and Matt Krill of the IBM Corp.
By design, the panelists knew next to nothing about the students proposals before the April 16 panel.
They purposely didnt give us any information before we got there, she said. We learned little snippets (during the day) the entrepreneurs were going to show that night.
After taking in the presentations, the panelists went into jury-style deliberations for less than 30 minutes to decide who would get what amount.
We had good agreement on the top three, and had great discussions on the others about if we were going to fund them, and what amount, Coakley said, praising the sheer inventiveness of the proposals. These kids are just super intelligent. I didnt have that confidence when I was 16 years old.
Noting all the students delivered their presentations with confidence, Coakley said the panel liked Speak! and Be Heard for its novel, high-tech approach to speech tutorials, Hello Cyan for the cards brilliant colors and the fact theyre already for sale at the Washington Square Hallmark store. They agreed that My Heavenly Helpers was novel for its focus on seniors and technology.
There are a lot of people out there training to use social media, but this is very targeted to get seniors who want a closer connection with their families, she said.
Taylor, who said she was pleased to get full funding for My Heavenly Helpers, felt confident going into the investor panel event.
Before the investors had even revealed who they funded and how much they were giving, I had already received offers of investment from two different people, she said. This made me extremely happy and even more confident that this business could succeed.
Taylor, who bought the domain name for My Heavenly Helpers on Tuesday, is preparing herself to present her business along with her fellow young entrepreneurs to the general public at the Beaverton Trade Show at Cedar Hills Crossing mall on Saturday, May 31.
Im so excited to start up my business and start connecting senior citizens to their loved ones more as soon as possible, she said.

Int'l Colleges & Universities
Program-to-Program Transfer Articulation Guidelines
Institutional transfer articulation agreements focus on the detailed conditions for accepting students (with specific degrees and GPAs) and transferring their completed associate degrees into specific Davenport University majors. If Davenport University has an articulation agreement with the institution you attended previously, that agreement governs your transfer determination, if covered by the articulation agreement. Otherwise, your transfer determination is governed by individual course-to-course equivalency evaluations and Davenport University transfer policies, or as determined by DU at its sole discretion.

All accepted applicants must submit the examination fee at least two weeks prior to the examination. The CMLSO examination fee is $200.00. Any applicant who has not paid will not be permitted to sit for the examination.
Cancellations (more than 30 days prior to the examination date)
Applicants who send notification of cancellation in writing to the BLS more than 30 days prior to the examination may request a refund of the examination fee. For those applicants who wish to postpone taking the examination, it would be in their best interest to reschedule within the 2-year period of acceptance. Failure to reschedule the examination within this 2-year period will result in reapplication.
Rescheduling Fee
If the applicant is unable to take the scheduled examination, he/she may request to reschedule the examination. Applicants who request to reschedule an examination more than 30 days prior to the examination date may apply the examination fee to a future exam within the 2-year period of acceptance, without incurring the rescheduling fee. Requests to reschedule an examination less than 30 days notice prior to an examination date are subject to a rescheduling fee of $50.00. In some circumstances, this rescheduling fee may be waived. For consideration, petitions must be made in writing to the BLS and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

A remnant of the past, the only one of its kind in Germany, was given new purpose in 2008: the former government bunker in the Ahr valley.
In March of that year the most top-secret building in the history of West Germany opened its atom-bomb-proof doors to the public as a museum. An extensive collection of original documents and objects tells of this chapter in Germany's history from an authentic site, which during the Cold War period was part of a worldwide stand-off between the superpowers in the east and west.

Sewer Use & Assessment
In the South Woodstock area, there are several households that are connected to the sewer line that was installed in 1997 by the Water Pollution Control Authority. Each homeowner on the sewer line was responsible for the initial costs of the connection fee. At that time, the costs could be paid in full or paid over a 20 year period at a 2% interest rate, with no pre-payment penalty. Every March and September, the sewer assessment bills are mailed to homeowners that still have an unpaid balance.
In addition, there is a sewer usage fee to all residential homeowners and businesses on the sewer line. The yearly residential flat fee for sewer usage is presently $859.60 per unit and is billed in two installments of $429.80 every July and January. The July billing covers the time period of the previous January 1 through June 30 of the same year. The January billing covers the time period of the previous July 1 through December 31.
Industries and institutions are on a metered sewer usage basis. Readings are taken on the businesses quarterly and reported to the Water Pollution Control Authority and billed yearly at a rate of $10.17 per 1000 gallons. These bills are mailed July 1st of each year and cover a 12 month period from April to April.

Projects Abroad Micro-Finance Project - Saint Louis, Senegal – Monthly Reports
Monthly Reports from 2014
During the period from July to September the Micro-finance office has disbursed, since its starting, 37 loans for talibe businesses. During this period we disbursed four loans. It is also a period where we focused on the market research in Saint-Louis' big marketplace in order to detect new types of micro businesses that can fit with our potential beneficiaries.
During the period from April to June the Micro-finance Project was supporting 33 beneficiaries. After a short pause that permitted the creation of a better organizational structure, we started the business installation of Mamadou Mballo, Fodé Mballo, Alpha Ba and Saliou Boiro. We installed these businesses by meticulously following the steps dictated by the new micro-finance flow chart procedure.
The project has, since its beginning (July 2012), funded 33 talibés from different nationalities. From the period of January 2014 to March 2014 only one loan had been disbursed to a potential beneficiary (Issa Seydi, 29th) for several reasons. We decided to focus our energy on the amelioration of the organizational structure that would provide a system with the bare minimum risks and mistakes for talibés business.
Monthly Reports from 2013
From May to the end of July, we've done 12 training sessions at ASF Talibé Centre and 12 training sessions at Projects Abroad centre: a total of 24 training lessons for potential beneficiaries. Every Thursday morning, we give business lessons to funded beneficiaries. Every other Monday, we collect reimbursements and fulfilled daily transactions tables which gives us essential information on the Talibés' businesses.

Federal Indictment for Accused Bank Robber
ST. LOUIS - A 19-year-old southern Illinois man suspected of being the "I-55 Bandit" has been indicted on a felony count of bank robbery.
The U.S. Attorney's office in St. Louis says the investigation of Andrew Maberry of O'Fallon, Ill., continues. The indictment was announced Thursday.
Maberry is accused of robbing a Commerce Bank branch in Jefferson County, Mo., on July 2. But he could face additional charges.
Maberry turned himself in last week after the FBI released surveillance photos from several bank robberies. The FBI dubbed the robber the "I-55 Bandit" because some of the crimes occurred near Interstate 55.
Maberry is under investigation in 10 robberies and two robbery attempts since May at banks in Illinois, Missouri, Maryland, West Virginia and Tennessee.

Ryan Gosling: Academy Award-nominated actor, possessor of an unnaturally perfect jawline and now...director.
The "Drive" star will make his debut behind the camera in the "fantasy noir" drama "How to Catch a Monster," The Hollywood Reporter reveals. Gosling also wrote the script, which will star "Mad Men's" Christina Hendricks (who also appeared in "Drive").
See Gosling's work in front of the camera
U.S. & World
The movie centers on Billy, a single mother of two (Hendricks), who lives in a vanishing city and is brought into a dark underworld when her son discovers a road that leads to an underwater village. Sounds, well, just about right for the kind of bizarre fare Gosling is into.
The movie is set to film in spring of 2013 but will seek buyers at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival.

I'm not sure if I'm using the proper term. A quick search revealed modern examples here, here, and here, with results looking like this -
- which I personally don't find particularly attractive (but they may be catwalk-type creations not intended for real life). The modern ones also incorporate extensions:
Palau divided models' hair into three sections before adding extensions over and under natural strands for a woven effect, ending each panel in a skinny braid. Back panels were folded flat against the head and pinned in place before the entire head was sprayed with Redken's Forceful 23 hair spray. Sixty bottles of hairspray were used to hold everything in place!By contrast, the embedded image at top (via Alabaster) dates from 1933 looks like it probably was created using the woman's own hair.

Cheeseburger and Fries Pizza: The Sober Truth About This Drunkard's Slice
We've seen fries grace the top of pies before—poutine pizza and hot dog and french fry pizza—and those were deemed reprehensible. And then we've seen Adam tackle the cheeseburger and pizza mashup, only to learn how dangerously wrong that combo could go. So what compelled me to eat the Cheeseburger and Fries slice at New York Pizza? Novelty and a lapse in judgement.
New York Pizza on Mass Ave in Boston has provided serviceable slices after one too many on a number of occasions. And it's not unheard of to soberly seek it out when you're nearby and want a thin slice alternative that isn't putting on any Upper Crust type airs. While I knew their strength was in the post-libation camp, I didn't know how much they were firmly planted there until I encountered this fine specimen in their case.
Instead of tomato sauce, this pizza is made with ketchup(!). Who wants to be bothered with operating condiments when you're at the cheeseburger and fries pizza point in the night anyway, right? So there's some logic there, but not a lot of good sense. I can only think of one acceptable application where baking ketchup is a good idea: meatloaf. And you know, that's what this tastes like more than anything. Except unlike meatloaf which has lots of fat to keep the ketchup from getting that metallic quality when it dries out, the rim of the crust is ketchup's death kiss.
And while there is a certain appeal to french fries coated in blistered cheese, they just can't give a star performance after sitting around cold and then getting a little reheat in the oven. All the appeal of their crisp exteriors are lost, and the flavor of the earthy spuds begin to sour. It's just sad all around. From bland burger to soggy fries with a ketchup stand-in for sauce, this is a slice best avoided regardless of your state of sobriety. Can anyone name some other bad idea pizzas?

We don't know how many airports total are being affected, but FAA computers at one of their facilities are having trouble processing data, which means flights everywhere are being delayed. So far CNN says LaGuardia in NY and Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta were having problems (among many others), but radar and plane contact is fine everywhere. If you're flying today or tomorrow (like I am), you should get to the airport early. Or late, I guess, if flights are delayed. Maybe just show up at your normal time. [CNN] Update: Oh and check out delays for airports around the country. As you can see from the image above, delays of 16 to 45 minutes are hitting flights EVERYWHERE.

EMC (NYSE:EMC) on Thursday announced the acquisition of XtremIO, an Israeli developer of all-Flash storage arrays, making it the first of the top-branded storage vendors to dive head-first into a storage technology that could potentially have a negative impact on traditional storage array sales.
The move confirms reports from last month that EMC was in talks to acquire XtremIO, which was founded in 2009 as a developer of storage arrays based on Flash memory technology in which no hard drives were installed.
The acquisition puts EMC squarely in a market that until now has been dominated by such startups as Texas Memory Systems, Violin Memory and Nimbus Data Systems.
Unlike many of the Flash-based storage technologies introduced recently to the market, the XtremIO products are not centered on caching data to improve performance but are instead focused on acting as primary storage for applications requiring high performance, including database, ERP or highly-virtualized environments.
The XtremIO acquisition was a great move for EMC, said Jamie Shepard, executive vice president of technology solutions at ICI, a Marlborough, Mass.-based solution provider and EMC partner.
Shepard, whose company was planning to demonstrate its own converged infrastructure solution in combination with an all-Flash array from XtremIO at the EMC World conference later this month, told CRN he was very impressed with the XtremIO technology and was looking forward to selling it even before EMC said it would acquire the company.
"It is a much better strategy for EMC to acquire a company like XtremIO instead of building Flash array technology from scratch," he said. "The XtremIO array has built-in, in-line dedupe and will come to market soon with replication. This puts EMC a step ahead of the competition."
XtremIO had yet to discuss pricing for its all-Flash arrays, but Shepard said that because those arrays were based on low-cost MLC Flash technology, pricing could be somewhere in the range of EMC's VNX midrange disk array with a limited amount of Flash storage for high-performance applications.
When asked by CRN why customers would buy disk arrays when Flash array pricing was equivalently priced, he replied, "They won't. ICI has seen the future. We've seen it with Flash arrays running high I/O application, everyday applications, and VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure). So there's no reason for disk. The XtremIO array means no need to carve out LUNs, fast I/Os, and a much better GUI (graphical user interface) than if it were designed by EMC."

College students and instructors are rushing to adopt the first free textbooks from upstart publisher OpenStax College. The Rice University-based publisher said it expects to save students at least $1 million this fall after 13,000 of its physics and sociology textbooks were ordered or downloaded in their first 10 weeks on the market.
"Our first two titles will save students more money in one semester than they cost to develop," said Rice engineering professor Richard Baraniuk, OpenStax College's founder and director. "We're well on our way to our five-year goal of saving 1 million college students $95 million."
OpenStax College launched in February with a philanthropic model to offer free textbooks for the most heavily attended college courses in the nation. Baraniuk said more than 50,000 online users have viewed the first two titles -- College Physics and Introduction to Sociology -- since they were published in June. The books also have been downloaded nearly 7,000 times, and instructors at 55 colleges have adopted the books for fall classes.
Dean Florez, president of 20 Million Minds Foundation, one of OpenStax College's philanthropic partners, said, "As a foundation, we are impressed by OpenStax College's immediate impact on the market. Our mission is to provide immediate relief for students who are being saddled with $1 trillion in educational debt. We are extremely encouraged too see how rapidly faculty are embracing this solution for the benefit of their students."
OpenStax College Editor-in-Chief David Harris said new orders from college bookstores are coming in daily. He said students and instructors are also flocking to the titles online; College Physics is averaging more than 1,000 views per day, and more than 10,000 users have viewed Introduction to Sociology.
"The response has been phenomenal, especially when you consider that these two books were published less than three months ago," said Harris, a 22-year veteran of the textbook publishing industry.
Harris said free books are a big draw for college students, but instructors are more concerned with quality.
"A bad book is still a bad book, even if it's free," Harris said. "Our books are both free and high quality, thanks to the investment of our philanthropic partners."
OpenStax College is developing its first five titles with grants from the 20 Million Minds Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Maxfield Foundation.
"The Hewlett Foundation has been supporting open-education resources for more than a decade, and we have seen a significant change in the awareness of OER in the past year," said Vic Vuchic, a program officer in the Hewlett Foundation's Education Program. "We are very pleased by the initial success of OpenStax College in a whole range of metrics -- including adoption. We remain committed to providing openly licensed high-quality content for students around the globe."
Harris said OpenStax College's next three titles -- Biology, Concepts of Biology and Anatomy and Physiology -- will be completed in early 2013, and sample chapters will be available online this fall. He said OpenStax College also has begun raising money to develop its next five books: college algebra, general chemistry, principles of economics, U.S. history and psychology.

MY RIDE- Paul Ferlan: 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe
Paul Ferlan can't say enough great things about his brand new car, a silver Nissan Altima Coupe. He's had it for only 10 or 12 weeks, and so far he has no complaints.
He loves it not just because it's pretty, but he says it's also a very smooth ride. By his standards, it's "very zippy and has great brakes," so he can drive fast and stop fast.
Ferlan says his girlfriend loves the Altima, too, and so do his cats– but, alas, the cats aren't allowed in it. As he looks at his shiny car, he says with a laugh, "It's not quite my mid-life crisis car, but I'm getting there."

WEDNESDAY, May 18, 2011 (HealthDay News) -- Although commonly used to treat heart disease, aspirin and simvastatin offer no benefit to patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension, or PAH, a progressive disease characterized by increased blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, according to new research.
In a study funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, researchers divided 65 patients into four groups: one receiving aspirin; one taking simvastatin; one receiving both drugs; and one in which patients received a placebo (or dummy pill).
"Surprisingly, we found no evidence that aspirin or simvastatin had beneficial clinical effects in this population," said Dr. Steven Kawut, study lead author and associate professor of medicine and epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
After taking the assigned medication for six months, patients were asked to see how far they could walk in six minutes. The distance tended to be shorter in the simvastatin group, and no difference was seen between the aspirin and placebo patients.
Following these early results, the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute discontinued the study based on a recommendation from the Data and Safety Monitoring Board.
"The results of this study do not support the routine treatment of PAH with these medications," Kawut said in an American Thoracic Society news release.
The findings are scheduled to be presented Wednesday at the American Thoracic Society international conference in Denver.
PAH, which is incurable, causes shortness of breath, dizziness and fatigue, and can lead to heart failure and death.
The researchers concluded that both aspirin and simvastatin may be prescribed for usual clinical indications in patients with PAH, but should not be administered specifically to treat PAH.
"The findings show the importance of subjecting traditional cardiovascular therapies and drugs which appear effective in the laboratory to placebo-controlled [randomized clinical trials] in humans before recommending their use," Kawut said.
Research presented at meetings is considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Last night was only the second episode of the new season of Bad Girls Club, and I'm already addicted. These women seem made for not just reality TV, but this show specifically. Nearly everything they say is a soundbite. The editors must've been wetting themselves when going over this footage. In the clip above, the ladies cover a range of topics: how they love men with a "steroids" look, overusing vibrators, complaints about roommates not wrapping up their used tampons... eventually, one woman gets so drunk on Long Island Iced Teas that she cries to the stranger she brought home about how he doesn't "understand" her. We don't understand her either. Next week, there will be a physical altercation between two roommates, and it seems a kitchen appliance is involved.

Erin Gloria Ryan
I hope the assaulting appliance is a hand held egg beater, a turkey baster, or a George Foreman's Lean Mean Fat Grillin Machine.

The PetSafe® Pawz Away® Indoor Pet Barrier keeps your pet away from a certain room, away from trash, off furniture, etc. Just place the Barrier Transmitter near the area your pet should avoid. The Barrier Transmitter sends a spherical radio signal, reaching up to 12 feet in diameter or a 6 foot radius. Your pet wears a Receiver Collar with Contact Points that touch his neck. When your pet enters the Barrier Area, he'll hear a series of audible tones from the Receiver Collar and he will feel a safe Progressive Static Correction, delivered through the Contact Points on his neck. The Progressive Static Correction will get his attention, but will not cause harm. The correction continues until your pet leaves the Barrier Area. The PetSafe® Pawz Away® Indoor Pet Barrier has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for pets at least 6 months old and 5 pounds or more.Close
If you already have a PetSafe in-ground fence, you can use the same collar with our pet proofing barriers. Purchase an extra barrier and place it in an area you don't want your pet to access. Choose from indoor and outdoor barriers.
Wireless fences aren't compatible with our pet proofing barriers.

To change modes:
Note: All Indoor Barriers and receivers come factory set to Mode A. There is no need to change modes or program unless you have multiple dogs that have separate restricted areas.
To program receiver collar:
Important: Proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is necessary for effective operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet's skin on the underside of his neck.
CAUTION: Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet's neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed. You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the dog's neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
To ensure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
The PetSafe® Pawz Away® Pet Barriers teach your pet to avoid the Barrier Areas you have set after receiving a Progressive Static Correction. Your pet will learn that he is more comfortable when he avoids the Barrier Areas.
In some cases, it may not be necessary to train your pet. You can let your pet wander freely to determine the new boundaries. Monitor your pet during his first session. Pets learn at different rates and it may take several times for your pet to successfully understand and honor the Barrier Areas.
Begin Your Pet's First Session
Further Training
If your pet is confused or unsure how to avoid the Barrier Areas then you may need to teach your pet how to do so by following these easy training steps:
If your pet is having trouble recognizing the barrier, you may need to provide a temporary visual aid. PetSafe® Boundary Flags can be placed around the perimeter of the Barrier Area to help your pet understand where he is not allowed to roam. Once your pet is trained to respect the barrier, the flags can be removed.

Ladders used to save East Liberty fire victims
Firefighters battle flames on Negley Avenue
Dozens of people are displaced after a fire at an East Liberty apartment building Monday morning.
Residents reported smelling smoke around 7 a.m., and many were trapped inside the four-story building in the 300 block of North Negley Avenue.
Smoke filled the stairwell and they were unable to escape. Firefighters had to use ladders and go window by window to pull more than two dozen residents to safety. (SLIDESHOW: Photos of the fire scene)
Aaron Patterson said he was sleeping when the fire started. "I opened up our window, and we had our heads just dangling out the window, signaling to people so that they knew that we were there," he said.
"I opened up my door, and there was black smoke billowing into my apartment. I freaked out," said another building resident, Mike Dodds.
Pittsburgh Fire Chief Darryl Jones praised the firefighters who braved the cold and snow to pull residents to safety. "Because of their efforts, this could have been a tragedy of humongous proportions," he said.
Residents said they were grateful to the men and women who risked their lives to save them.
"We ran to the closest window, and we was hanging out the window because the smoke was all in the room and we couldn't breathe, and that's when they had the ladder come up to the third floor and they brought us down," Everette Middlebrook said.
Four people were hospitalized for smoke-related injuries and about 10 more were treated at the scene.
Two animals were killed in the fire, and the ones that made it out were exhausted. The fire serves as a reminder that pets pay a price, too.
The Animal Rescue League saved four cats from the fire, three of which have been reunited with their owners.
"It's obviously missing its owner," said Dan Rossi of the Animal Rescue League as he cared for a cat that had been rescued. "We'd like to reunite them as soon as possible. We'll hang on to the guy until an owner comes forth."
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

The one-of-a-kind pulse sound is now available for your guitar.
Leslie's revolutionary G37 100W 1x12 Guitar Combo Amp was designed especially for the professional guitarist. After countless interviews and hundreds of hours of product testing with famous guitarists around the world, Leslie developed this revolutionary amplification system for guitarists.
The Leslie G37 amplifier is a 100W RMS solid state power amp and a vacuum tube preamp. Expansive controls-including clean volume, channel select, overdrive (gain, volume, and contour), and treble, mid, and bass EQs-give the guitar amp considerable range and power. The cabinet features single-channel, low- and high-input jacks. The two-speed horn and bass rotor has slow and fast speeds that can be adjusted individually. The rotor will automatically stop in the forward position when the stop mode is selected, which maximizes the sound pumping out toward the audience. The FS-10TL foot switch enables the control of the speed of the rotors between stop, slow, and fast. The rugged-built painted speaker cabinet is constructed of 3/4" Medium-Density Fibreboard (MDF), with protective corners and two folding handles.
The Leslie Model 18 or "Vibratone," is a holy grail for vintage guitar amp collectors. Few pedals can mimic the shimmering sound that a genuine Leslie can bring. The Vibratone amps are hard to find and can't be beat. The Leslie G27 for guitar is a real Leslie, voiced for electric, and acoustic-electric guitar, and beats the vintage box hands-down.

True or false: it took a creative team three years to produce the new University of California logo.
False: It's so hard to get courses these days that nothing can get through UC in less than five years.
Bada bing.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
OK, making fun of the University of California and its weird new logo has become a sport. And the weird logo speaks volumes about a once-proud university system that's been subject to constant cuts and that has leaders who can't seem to figure out what to do.
But the intensity of the attacks on the logo go beyond that. There's a visceral hatred of the blue "U-shaped thing" with a yellow sort-of-C inside it. Commentators are competing with each other for the most over-the-top insult.
Here is the Prop Zero's top-five list of insults for the logo.
5. "A worm drowning in water." - @dannysullivan
4. "An egg yolk being flushed down the toilet." -- multiple sources
3. "Whoever signed off on this UC logo should be forced to have it tattooed on their forehead for life." -- multiple sources
2. "a Swedish flag being flushed down the toilet." -- Aaron Bady, UC doctoral candidate at New Inquiry
1. "Did Stanford design this?" -- Berkeley-based commenter on Oakland Tribune story on logo.
The lesson: it's much better to make a change like this via a public, democratic process or contest-- so you get the nasty comments before a choice is made, and can factor reaction into the decision. UC almost certainly will have to walk this back.

Trends: Sarbanes-Oxley - SEC Puts Pressure on CIOs
When one of the biggest corporate reform packages since the Great Depression was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in Julynew rules forcing companies to cough up more timely, accurate and detailed accountings of their financial healthNovell Inc. scrambled to try to meet the requirements.
Bush signed the Sarbanes-Oxley package of reforms, named for its Senate sponsors, into law on July 30just a day before the end of Novell's fiscal 2002 third quarter. That meant Novell, one of the first companies to have to file quarterly and year-end reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the new rules, would now have 10 fewer days in which to file quarterly reports and 30 fewer days to file its annual report, come November. (Later, the SEC agreed to phase in the tighter deadlines over time, giving Novell and other companies at least three or four more quarters to comply.)
But the new deadlines are just one of several hurdles for Novell. The law also created new SEC rules forcing top corporate executives to sign off, for the first time, on the integrity of their internal financial controls. "We had a really short, small window within which to react and put policies in place," says Novell General Counsel Joseph LaSala.
The new regulations are proving time-consuming and cumbersome to many corporate executives. And no wonder. Besides hiring lawyers to brief managers on the new rules, Novell also whipped up a new set of in-house procedures for assembling financial reports every quarter, which includes asking 30 corporate managers to sign statements vouching for the accuracy of Novell's reporting systems. Novell CIO Debra Anderson wasn't among those needed to sign off on the integrity of the company's reporting systems. But she says that's just a matter of time. "I definitely think the onus is on CIOs to a more heightened degree now to look at the validity of the infrastructureand also identify opportunities for improvement."
Why the new scrutiny? Under the new law, CEOs and CFOs whose certifications "do not comport" with the stiffer accountability requirements of the new law will be fined $1 million or be sent off to prison for up to 10 yearsor both. Further, anyone who "willfully certifies any statement...knowing that the periodic report accompanying the financial statement does not comport with the requirements set forth" will be fined up to $5 million or be sent off to prison for up to 20 years, or both.
Now for the hard part: Compliance with the new rules will mean that companies of all sizes may need to overhaul or upgrade their financial reporting networks and software in the coming months and years to meet the SEC's new demands for more accurate, detailed and speedier filings.
Stuart Robbins, founder and director of the CIO Collective, a network of senior IT executives, believes the legislation could trigger new IT spending in the next four to six months as companies begin to analyze the requirement for clear accountability, which includes setting up digital auditing trails, knowledge summaries and new archiving policies aimed at flagging financial irregularities as they occur. According to Gary Riske, partner in charge of KPMG's risk management practice in San Francisco, abiding by the new rules could be the single biggest spending item of the first quarter of 2003.
"This really shines a spotlight on the inadequacy of a lot of legacy systems out there," says Brian Kinman, a partner in strategic risk services at Pricewaterhouse-Coopers. "Can companies meet these new requirements with existing systems? Maybe. But these new reporting requirements tighten up the deadlines significantly, and now there's zero tolerance for error. This is going to put a lot of pressure on people to throw out a lot of the old and bring in the newfaster." Says SEC special counsel Mark Borges: "These changes are moving us closer to a real-time reporting system. It's likely to present challenges for many companies as they adjust to shorter reporting deadlines."
Faster, Faster
Faster, Faster
How much of a challenge? Aimed at enhancing the SEC's ability to root out and punish corporate fraud in the wake of the recent flood of scandals at Enron, WorldCom and others, the new rules will affect CIOs and IT departments in a number of ways. First, they reduce the time companies have to file their regular quarterly reports, from 45 to 35 days after the quarter ends, and shortens the deadline for annual reports from 90 to 60 days after the end of the fiscal yeara squeeze that will encourage the building of speedier systems at many companies. While companies are rushing to meet these deadlines now, the SEC says the new timetables will be phased in over a period of three years, with the new rules completely in effect by Dec. 15, 2005.
In addition, the CEO and the CFO will be required to verify the effectiveness of the financial controls they use to keep auditors up to date on daily figures, a request that will necessarily involve a detailed review of corporate information systems and how executives use them to keep tabs on corporate earnings and spending. As a result, some companies are taking it upon themselves to ask other executivesincluding the CIOto vouch for the integrity of the company's systems. Already, says PwC's Kinman, CIOs are among those being asked by corporate counsel at some companies to "sub-certify" the company's ability "to quickly record, process, summarize and report financial data," to meet legal standards.
There's more. Another new SEC requirement that will have some bearing on IT departments asks that information about significant events that could affect a company's quarterly earnings must now be stated "in plain English" and be disclosed "on a rapid and current basis"two days after the triggering event rather than five to 15 days. It's a provision that will, again, test the speed of a company's financial information systems and software. Further, the SEC is asking companies to report within 48 hours any trading in company stock by corporate officers. In the past, companies needed only to report such activity once a month.
All this might not seem like much for companies with cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art financial information systems. Indeed, says Suresh Srinivasan, director of enterprise architecture at American Express Co.: "Big companies will be in compliance mode. It's just mining new data." But the additional requirements for certification of internal financial controls, together with the overall push for faster reporting times, will affect all companies and IT departments, experts say. "This is huge," says IBM financial services consultant Henry Schweppe. "This represents a sea change in how technology is going to have to support the organization." Adds John Burke, CFO of New World Business Ventures Group, a Manhattan-based business consulting firm: "The challenge going forward is going to be to get financial information to flow from the bottom to the top."
The idea behind the SEC's push for more detailed certification rules is a desire to establish a broad, digital paper trail proving that in-depth reviews of corporate ledgers are being conducted continuously by the people responsible for keeping the books open and honest. The goal: to protect investors by holding executives' feet to the fire over the veracity of each and every report. Alan Beller, the director of the SEC's corporate finance division, told reporters during a Nov. 8 press conference that a "substantial majority" of Fortune 500 companies' financial statements reviewed by the agency during the past year have raised questions warranting further investigation. "I don't think anybody, given the current environment, is feeling like these steps are not necessary," says the SEC's Borges.
Budget Buster
Budget Buster?
While many companies "are just starting to figure out what hit them," says IBM's Schweppe, many otherseven some companies that have overhauled their financial reporting systems in recent yearsare pressing ahead with new spending for upgrades to respond to the new requirements. Novell's Anderson, for one, says her company is going to "rethink this as a chance to have more real-time reporting systems in place," such as a more extensive set of digital dashboards.
Allstate Corp., the nation's largest publicly held personal insurer, began to overhaul its financial reporting process a few years ago by collecting data from "more than a handful" of different legacy systems that track data from the company's various administrative and claims processes with an enterprise resource planning system from SAP.
After Bush signed the reforms into law, the company decided it needed more. So it set about retooling its financial reporting system so that it could meet the new deadlines. Moreover, it started compiling company performance and operational metrics into real-time electronic "scorecards," to meet new rules calling for companies to write a special report in their year-end filings that describes the extent and quality of their internal auditing controlsand the effectiveness of the information systems they use to keep the top brass up to date on the numbers. "It not only requires the use of technology but it requires your leadership team to understand how the data is processed through it, and what changes are being made to it so we can say that this truly represents our financial position at a certain point in time," says Kathleen Swain, Allstate's assistant vice president of enterprise financial solutions. Longer-term, Swain says, the new regulations may add to the "business case" being made by IT officials inside the company for more IT spending.
At Richardson, Tex.-based Fossil Inc., it's a similar story. According to Randy Kercho, Fossil's executive vice president, the fashion watch company is in the process of implementing various business intelligence applications from Cognos, some in response to the new deadlines. In addition, the company is moving forward with new Web-based applications and a new enterprise system from SAP. "These systems, implemented or in the process of implementation by our IT department, will help us have the tools we need to better analyze our financial results, in addition to reducing the time it takes to obtain financial and operational data," Kercho says.
The company is also asking 18 people to sign off on the integrity of the numbers and financial reporting systems used to obtain them, including the country managers and top financial officers of each of Fossil's eight foreign subsidiaries. "We then also obtain a verbal affirmation from our division presidents, legal and operations group," Kercho says, "and we're considering obtaining a sign-off from our CIO. It would certainly be an additional measure of comfort if the CIO would verify that no known breaches of the system have been identified and that no breakdowns of controls were identified or changed during the quarter."
Even before the new rules were put in place, collating the information needed for quarterly reports, for some companies, was a huge task involving business units that might be spread across the globe. Fossil's Kercho, for one, says the need to assimilate information from disparate systems around the world "is really where a lot of the time comes in" that's needed to meet filing deadlines. Adds Sandra Kinsey, partner at Hogan & Hartson and former SEC senior counsel from 1990 to 2000: "Getting these financial reports filed earlier is going to be challenging for companies, especially big multinationals with diverse operations spread over different countries. But it will be hardest on small public companies that don't necessarily have the teams of in-house compliance people in place."
Ahead of the Game
Ahead of the Game
How many companies can already meet the new deadlines? Not many, says Scott Parker, managing director of Parson Consulting, a London-based consulting firm with clients in the U.S. and U.K. affected by the new law. According to a recent Parson survey of executives at almost all 500 companies in the S&P 500, only 11 percent now file quarterly reports within 35 daysthe new deadline. The average for healthcare and pharmaceuticals is 42.5 days; finance and insurance, 43.1 days; consumer products, 40.4 days; chemicals, energy and utilities, 42.7 days; and services, 40.2 days. Industrial and defense firms, meanwhile, average 39.5 days, according to the survey.
Former SEC commissioner Steven Wallman, a staunch advocate of digital systems during his 1994-97 term, cautions CIOs against underestimating the impact of the new laws on company IT systems. "This will be more costly than people think because it's not just the IT equipment but the software, training, upgrades and people that will be needed to put in the new real-time information systems the SEC is seeking," he says. "And then there will need to be people and systems set up that are able to check it all to make sure that there is better and faster reporting of the numbers. Hopefully, CIOs can rise to the occasion."
Technology researcher IDC is forecasting that financial and business performance management software, combined with strategic planning and financial consolidation software, is expected to be a $1 billion market in 2002, jumping to more than $1.5 billion by 2006thanks, in part, to the new regulations.
Indeed, some vendors are already coming forward with new offerings aimed at helping firms meet the challenge. New York City-based start-up eRestrictedStock Inc., for example, is offering companies Web-driven software that can help them file insider trading reports within the SEC's new two-day deadline. BoardVantage Inc., of Berkeley, Calif., meanwhile, is pushing messaging system and collaboration software for use by members of boards of directors so they can better oversee the companies they govern rather than simply show up at meetings and play golf. "What we find is that creative accounting is usually accompanied by 100 to 200 catch phrases, like 'change in accounting,' or 'uncollectible loans,'" says A.K. Pradeep, founder and CEO of BoardVantage. "Now, [with our software,] if you are thumbing through 500 pages of an M&A proposal, imagine you have a little angel that tells you that on page four in line 25 there is a certain phrase you want to pay attention to." In Pradeep's view, "the boardroom is almost the last bastion where the light of technology has not really crept in."
Data Strategies

Indeed, the long-term lesson of the recent financial scandals is that IT executives may need to be more strategic about their company's financial information, focusing not just on systems management but on the way business information of all types is managedfrom gathering to distributionespecially as the sheer volume of information now stored digitally grows by leaps and bounds. "CIOs and IT directors are the first responders on the front lines of electronic document and information management," says Michele Lange, a staff attorney with the global risk consulting company Kroll Inc. "The lawyers understand the law. But the president and CEO don't understand how their electronic document policies or servers work. That's not their job. That's the purview of IT directors."
Bottom line: Now, perhaps as much as CFOs, IT is on the hot seat to make sure the changes happen well, and quickly. Says Jonathan Low, senior fellow at the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Center for Business Innovation: "The CEO and CFO now have a lot riding on whether the company's financial information is good or not, and whether it can be reported with enough detail and speed to meet the new regulations." The message: It's time to stop sweating the small stuff. Advises Forrester Research Inc. Senior Analyst Jim Walker: "Stop worrying about a particular implementation of some server installation or whether you're going to go to XP versus Windows 2000. These new financial reporting rules should be your highest priority right now. Why? Because this is directly important to shareholder value."

LANGLEY, B.C., Canada (Sept. 27, 2013) – The U.S. Men's National Team advanced to the finals of the NORCECA Continental Championship on Friday with a 25-13, 24-26, 25-20, 25-16 semifinal victory over Puerto Rico at the Langley Events Center.
|Matt Anderson lunges to receive the ball against Puerto Rico.
The United States (3-0) will play Canada (3-0) for the gold medal at 8 p.m. PT on Saturday. The match will be live streamed at langleyeventscentre.com/events/video-streams. Canada defeated Cuba on Friday, 25-14, 25-17, 25- 21.
The Championship winner will qualify for the FIVB Grand Champions Cup in November.
The U.S. led Puerto Rico in kills (50-40), in blocks (11-2) and in aces (6-0). U.S. errors in the second set kept it from getting the sweep.
"I don't think it was our best volleyball of the summer, but we're happy to get to the finals," U.S. Head Coach John Speraw (Los Angeles) said. "I think we'll be able to look at some of the things we did in that set and learn from it and hopefully get better."

U.S. outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) led all scorers with 15 points on a match-high 12 kills, two blocks and one ace.
"To beat a team pretty handily in the first set and come back like that and lose the second set is unacceptable for us," Anderson said. "We can't do that against good teams. They're going to use that as a momentum swing."
Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) and middle blocker Max Holt (Cincinnati, Ohio) each added 12 points. Priddy scored on 10 kills, one block and one ace. Holt totaled nine kills and a match-high three blocks.
Opposite Murphy Troy (St. Louis, Mo.) came in as a substitute in the second set and started the third and fourth and finished with 11 points on seven attacks, two blocks and a match-high two aces.
"I think Murphy did a nice job coming off the bench," Speraw said. "He served some points for us, especially in that fourth set."
Setter Micah Christenson (Honolulu) scored five points on two kills, two blocks and one ace. He was also credited with 27 running sets and no faults. Opposite Carson Clark (Santa Barbara, Calif.) scored five points on five attacks. Middle blocker Futi Tavana (Kalaheo, Hawaii) scored five points on three kills, one block and one ace.
Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) entered the match as a substitute in the third set and finished with two points on two kills.
Libero Erik Shoji (Honolulu) was credited with 13 excellent receptions and three digs. Anderson led the team in excellent receptions with 14 and Priddy led in digs with 10.
The U.S. opened an 8-3 lead at the first technical timeout (TTO) of the first set, scoring on a kill and block by Priddy, a kill and block from Anderson and an ace by Tavana. The U.S. led 16-9 at the second TTO and Puerto Rico never rallied.
Puerto Rico led 8-6 at the first TTO of the second set and led 16-15 at the second. Puerto Rico led 23-20 but the U.S. came back to tie it at 24-24. Puerto Rico used two straight kills to win the set.
In the third set, the U.S. took an 8-4 lead at the first TTO and increased it to 16-10 at the second. Puerto Rico never recovered. It was a similar story in the fourth set, where the United States led 8-6 at the first TTO and increased it to 16-10 at the second.

Reebok, once a broad force in the U.S. footwear market, is trying to start over by returning to its niche roots.
The brand, which has seen its sales and profile evaporate since being sold to Adidas for $3.8 billion in 2005, is hoping a series of major initiatives in women's fitness — the category that brought it prominence in the U.S. in the 1980s — can help it spark a comeback. Those initiatives include a workout regiment co-branded with Cirque du Soleil, dubbed Jukari, which it hopes will catch on with the same fervor as its step-aerobics platform did in 1989. The company also plans significant marketing investments behind two new women's fitness shoe lines.
The push behind Jukari — which will offer high-flying aerobics classes featuring ceiling-mounted, bungeed trapeze swings — and the new women's fitness shoes may allay concerns by retailers worried about corporate support. But analysts wonder whether the brand has simply lost relevance with its core female consumers, who have been courted aggressively by Nike, Under Armour and others.
Jukari Fit to Fly
JUKARI Fit to Fly fuses the creative and artistic world of Cirque du Soleil with the fitness expertise of Reebok. The name comes for a word dialect meaning "to play". Participants flex and flutter, sweat and stretch, and swing from a FlySet. It's all about moving your body in a fun new ways.
The new gym experience launches this month in Germany, Korean, Malaysia and Poland and later in Argentina, Canada, Chile, Hong Kong, Spain, UK and USA.
What do you think? Can Reebok (with the help of le Cirque) make a comeback?
