It's Hazzle. And it's about trying to ensure that the place is interesting, as well as trying to attract more people. The two go hand in hand.

I'm not saying we don't want to attract Keira fans, the point is that we can actually avoid that stigma by saying we don't cater to the "gibbering fanatic" but cater to a higher calibre, higher class clientele. I'm a Keira fan, I make no bones about that, less than I once was, perhaps, but I was never a "gibbering fanatic". Most people who've joined and stayed aren't either.
Then, for those who risk it, you put in a selection process, which obviously will take time and effort. They post one post, filling in your stock questions. And then forget all about KKW. How many newcomers have we had that just post one post in the newcomers and entirely forget about the forum thereafter?
That's my point exactly. If you put in a job application, do you forget all about it? If it takes you time to fill in an application, you've put in effort, so you'll take it seriously. By contrast if all you've done is mass-mail your CV to people, how many of those "applications" do you follow up? I can almost guarantee you that the effort needed to apply will ensure people come back, there's no point in answering the questions otherwise. I see your logic, and in a vacuum it would work, but when you apply it to human emotions and reasoning, it doesn't.

I can see that, which is why I'm not necessarily advocating making them entirely invisible to non-members. However I've actually come up with a viable solution that keeps them private and nonetheless ensures that people see what's there. How about an "Interesting Excerpts" bit on the front page, where you select a small handful of interesting threads, post the thread title and some enticing passages from it, and those go up? That way people see what's offer but it's just a taster, like free trials on software or services. I'll even volunteer to scout the forums and come up with the excerpts for you. If you can't find anyone else, that is.
I acknowledge your references to some vague A-Level or BSc business course, but, in the context of a fansite, I am adamant that you are not correct.
I've extrapolated this from another fansite. Albeit a different commodity, in that it's for fans of a particular football club, but would you say Arsenal Football Club is more well-known than Keira Knightley? I wonder which has the higher Google rank, I'd guess Keira. It's just an idea I got from another forum that worked well. Don't forget, an application process helps you get to know the person better too. We do have this problem of people joining, posting, and going away. This is largely as noone gets to know them and they don't get welcomed into the "core". You know it, I know it, it's hard to become part of "the gang". I think this would help as you'd know more about the person.
If I was to select General Discussions as member-only for a week, would we see the number of posts increases? (Rhetoric) Probably, but at what cost to our attractiveness as a lurker-friendly forum. (Let's not forget that we have a ratio of about 100:10 in lurkers:registered. They might sign up, but would they post?
I think we would. As I've said, I've based this on the success of another site. I've listed some stats above. Don't forget, we'd also avoid the potential for trolls and other problems. We haven't had these recently, but remember Nearoka? When POTC2 comes out I fancy we'll end up with a LOT of trolls. I think there's more incentive to post if you've had to apply to join. You figure that if you've put in some effort, may as well get some joy out of it. Plus they'll feel like they know us too, because if we ask certain questions, or post our responses to their applications, they get an idea of what we're like too. It's a solid "getting to know you" method.
If you want to preserve the lurker-friendly idea, why not keep the forums open to view but tie the membership to application? The fact is, we have the sexuality/relationships forum member-only and I don't think that's hurt us at all.
I might go so far as to say that I might give this a try for a week or so. The logic is quite sound, and chances are we wouldn't actually lose out. At least not in GD. Present me a sound case in your next post and I'll respect it enough to at least try it out in the most eclectic forum.
I'm not asking you to do that, necessarily, if you think there's a case to be made, try it, if not, tell me to fuck off. I respect you enough to say that at the end of the day, it's your site, you've presented a logical case why you oppose the idea, so I'm cool with that. I'd just be remiss if I didn't offer a suggestion I thought would improve KKW.
You might be a cunt, but I'll still attach some value to what you say. We've been through a lot.
No might about it. I am. But you're right, we've been through a lot and right now, I honestly want what's best for KKW. Hence my not posting last night when off my face on red wine. You know what I'm like when I post drunk!

I join Dusty Nielson and Wil Fraser on the Team 1260. We covered many many topics, including coffee makers in hotel bathrooms, Jurassic Park and Star Trek Pajamas. At the end of the call, we finally get to Lance Armstrong and the USADA's report.
Seriously, what is the deal with hotels putting coffee makers in bathrooms. There's a reason why I don't have my fridge and pantry in the bathroom. It's the bathroom. It may well be the dirtiest place in the world. Pretty sure we never had a family dinner huddled around the toilet.

Moment of truthinessAugust 17,2013We all know how democracy is supposed to work. Politicians are supposed to campaign on the issues, and an informed public is supposed to cast its votes based on those issues, with some allowance for the politicians perceived character and competence.
We also all know that the reality falls far short of the ideal. Voters are often misinformed, and politicians arent reliably truthful. Still, we like to imagine that voters generally get it right in the end, and that politicians are eventually held accountable for what they do.
But is even this modified, more realistic vision of democracy in action still relevant? Or has our political system been so degraded by misinformation and disinformation that it can no longer function?
Well, consider the case of the budget deficit an issue that dominated Washington discussion for almost three years, although it has recently receded.
You probably wont be surprised to hear that voters are poorly informed about the deficit. But you may be surprised by just how misinformed.
In a well-known paper with the discouraging title, It Feels Like Were Thinking, the political scientists Christopher Achen and Larry Bartels reported on a 1996 survey that asked voters whether the budget deficit had increased or decreased under President Bill Clinton. In fact, the deficit was down sharply, but a plurality of voters and a majority of Republicans believed that it had gone up.
I wondered on my blog what a similar survey would show today, with the deficit falling even faster than it did in the 1990s. Ask and ye shall receive: Hal Varian, the chief economist of Google, offered to run a Google Consumer Survey a service the company normally sells to market researchers on the question. So we asked whether the deficit had gone up or down since January 2010. And the results were even worse than in 1996: A majority of those who replied said the deficit had gone up, with more than 40 percent saying that it had gone up a lot. Only 12 percent answered correctly that it had gone down a lot.
Am I saying that voters are stupid? Not at all. People have lives, jobs, children to raise. Theyre not going to sit down with Congressional Budget Office reports. Instead, they rely on what they hear from authority figures. The problem is that much of what they hear is misleading if not outright false.
The outright falsehoods, you wont be surprised to learn, tend to be politically motivated. In those 1996 data, Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to hold false views about the deficit, and the same must surely be true today. After all, Republicans made a lot of political hay over a supposedly runaway deficit early in the Obama administration, and they have maintained the same rhetoric even as the deficit has plunged. Thus Eric Cantor, the third-ranking Republican in the House, declared on Fox News that we have a growing deficit, while Sen. Rand Paul told Bloomberg Businessweek that were running a trillion-dollar deficit every year.
Do people like Cantor or Paul know that what theyre saying isnt true? Do they care? Probably not. In Stephen Colberts famous formulation, claims about runaway deficits may not be true, but they have truthiness, and thats all that matters.
Still, arent there umpires for this sort of thing trusted, nonpartisan authorities who can and will call out purveyors of falsehood? Once upon a time, I think, there were. But these days the partisan divide runs very deep, and even those who try to play umpire seem afraid to call out falsehood. Incredibly, the fact-checking site PolitiFact rated Cantors flatly false statement as half true.
Now, Washington still does have some wise men, people who are treated with special deference by the news media. But when it comes to the issue of the deficit, the supposed wise men turn out to be part of the problem. People like Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, the co-chairmen of President Barack Obamas deficit commission, did a lot to feed public anxiety about the deficit when it was high. Their report was ominously titled The Moment of Truth. So have they changed their tune as the deficit has come down? No so its no surprise that the narrative of runaway deficits remains even though the budget reality has completely changed.
Put it all together, and its a discouraging picture. We have an ill-informed or misinformed electorate, politicians who gleefully add to the misinformation and watchdogs who are afraid to bark. And to the extent that there are widely respected, not-too-partisan players, they seem to be fostering, not fixing, the publics false impressions.
So what should we be doing? Keep pounding away at the truth, I guess, and hope it breaks through. But its hard not to wonder how this system is supposed to work.

August 2, 2014
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The tragedy in Newtown Conn., is sparking a new debate about who can be armed inside a school building.
Some people believe teachers and administrators should be allowed to be armed.
As the laws go right now, guns are prohibited inside or on the campuses of schools in West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky. The only exception is a school resource officer.
Having a resource officer at the school provides a first-line of defense and eliminates steps that leave the clock counting down in an emergency when every second counts.
Kevin Quinn, president of the National Association of School Resource Officers, says most of the time the officers are placed in high schools. Since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, though, there is a renewed push to get those officers into elementary schools.
"The amount of training that maybe a teacher would go through or just any normal gun owner that they go through a year -- just because they want to own a gun -- may not be as effective," Quinn said about arming teachers and administrators.
"People are realizing the elementary schools are just as vulnerable, if not more, because they don't have an officer assigned to it."
Quinn explained that NASRO has been around for 23 years, and when a shooting tragedy strikes at a school interest in the organization spikes.
"In a perfect world," Quinn said, We'd have an officer on every campus to keep everybody safe."

Did Human Ancestors "Walk" Up Trees? [Video]
December 31st, 2012 | 5
A new study suggests that we might be thinking about tree climbing in our recent ancestors all wrong. The traditional idea that our ancestors descended from the trees and gradually—and exclusively—began walking upright might be a gross over simplification. Fossil evidence from early hominins suggests that adaptations for tree climbing, such as long arms and [...]Keep reading »

Birth Place: Benton, Illinois, USA
Born on Dec. 9, 1953 in the small coal mining town of Benton, IL, Malkovich was raised one of five children by Daniel, conservation director for the State of Illinois and the publisher of Outdoor Illinois, and J Anne, owner of the Benton Evening News, who was affectionately known as "Frog" by her children because of her deep voice. With his father routinely away on business and his mother unwilling to discipline her children, the Malkovich brood essentially ran wild. As a boy, Malkovich was both literally and figurative a punching bag for his older brother, who chided him for being overweight. When he was 16, Malkovich dropped a good 70 pounds after eating nothing but Jell-O ... Continue Bio >>

All chaos sorcerers tap the Elemental Chaos for their power, but while most use that plane's raw energy to unleash wildly devastating spells, others find subtler applications. For these sorcerers, the entropic forces leaking into the world are not manifested as destructive magic, but as the unseen antithesis of natural laws. They use it to defy probability and undermine reality with formless chaos, bending events to their whims with what appears to be exceedingly good luck.
Chaos sorcerers find ways to win against all odds. With reckless bravado they throw themselves into dangerous situations, trusting in one fortunate coincidence after the next. Many with this devil-may-care attitude find the life of a swashbuckling adventurer appealing, while others approach chaos as a calculated means to accomplish their goals. The greatest paragons of chaos manipulation are the luckbenders, who wander the world playing games against reality with a stacked deck, wagering their lives for glory and thrills.

$1 million reward offered in Dorner case
BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif. (AP) - Authorities are offering a $1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer suspected in three killings who is the subject of a manhunt in Southern California.
LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced the reward at a news conference at LAPD headquarters Sunday.
Some 80 miles to the east, SWAT teams continued to scour snow-covered mountains near where the 33-year-old fugitive's charred pickup truck was discovered Thursday.
Authorities say Dorner has vowed revenge against several former LAPD colleagues whom he blames for ending his career.

Residents snap up trees as Colchester goes green
1:30pm Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Wendy Brading
THE acorn of an idea to offer free trees to Colchester residents has grown into a project of oak tree proportions.
A total of 2,014 trees, shrubs and fruit bushes were handed to residents, community groups and schools.
Colchester Council's free Trees for Years giveaway is in its eighth year.
Species ranged from raspberry canes to gooseberry bushes, silver birches and red and yellow stem dogwood.
Bob Penny, the council's community development manager, said: "Having more trees in Colchester will improve air quality, attract birds, bees and butterflies and means residents can pick their own fruit."
The event was funded by stationery supplies firm Office/s.

More than five children die every day as a result of abuse. Child abuse can involve bruises or broken bones, but it can also mean emotional abuse or neglect, which leaves deep scars that may be hard to detect.
April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and a group of local child and family service organizations held a Rally Against Child Abuse at Cherokee Square. The April 17 event marked the sixth year a public rally was held at the historic site to raise public awareness about child abuse and neglect.
Supporters of the child protection movement signed a pledge to stand up against child abuse and were given blue ribbons to tie on a tree to symbolize community awareness of the sometimes hidden epidemic.
The blue ribbon has always represented a stand against child abuse, said Cherokee Country Court Appointed Special Advocate Executive Director Jo Prout.
"[April] is a blue-ribbon month. It's a sign there's awareness in the community that we do not stand for child abuse," she said. "We want to see it end. Children are too special, too precious."
Other local child and family-service related organizations that helped plan the event included Hope House, Kid Connections, and Smart Start Cherokee County. Help-In-Crisis, Cherokee Nation Indian Child Welfare and the Cherokee County Department of Human Services were on hand to provide information and answer questions, while students from the Cherokee Nation Talking Leaves Job Corps helped set up for the event.
Aside from the blue-ribbon tree, 86 pinwheels were placed on the Cherokee Square lawn to represent the children that CASA has supported and represented during court proceedings. Pinwheels are also used to symbolize children who have been abused or neglected.
"The community needs to increase its awareness to protect all children," said Talking Leaves Job Corps student Marshon Potts.
Potts' Job Corps peer Daquan Roberts agreed.
"No child should be abused," he said.
BancFirst employee Jennifer Simpson attended the rally with colleague Carla Cary, who is a CASA board member, to learn more about child abuse prevention and the organizations that make it their mission to ensure child safety.
"I am participating to become more aware of what CASA does as an organization," she said. "I'm learning about the prevention of child abuse, the many children we take care of here locally, and how that impacts our community."
According to the national organization known as Child Help, about 80 percent of the children who die as a result of abuse or neglect are under age 4, while between 50 to 60 percent of child fatalities caused by maltreatment are not identified as such on the death certificate. The organization reports abuse occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural lines, within all religions and all levels of education.

The Museum for East Texas Culture will hold an open house Sunday to celebrate its doors being opened for more than 30 years, honoring longtime volunteers and debuting author and historian Carl Avera's new book on Palestine. Tours of the museum also will be available.
The open house will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. at the museum, located at 400 Micheaux St. during the first weekend of the Dogwood Trails Celebration. Refreshments will be served.
Avera, who now lives in Waco, is known for his historical books on Palestine. He will debut his new book, "My Journey's End" and will autograph copies.
"This book is very informative and contains a lot of history of Palestine and a lot of old photos," museum board president Joy Phillips told the Herald-Press Tuesday. "It's around 500 pages, a good hardback, coffee table book. There's a lot of history of Palestine about many of the old houses and historic buildings here as well as the people who lived here."
Proceeds from the book, which will cost $49, will benefit the museum.
"This book has been in the works for five years," Phillips said. "Carl did a lot of research for this book."
Avera is the author of several other books about Palestine's history that are available for purchase at the museum, including "Steamboats to Spaceships," as well as a small book on the old Temple Opera House and the Jewish community in Palestine.
Another book he wrote in the past, "One Good Memory," also is available. It was published in memory of longtime museum board member, the late Don Harris.
Longtime museum volunteer Lizz Langenkamp and former volunteer Beth Gragg will be honored during the event. Palestine Mayor Bob Herrington will give a short talk and presentation at 1 p.m.
"Lizzi has been volunteering at the museum for 33 years, two years before the museum opened. She's in charge of all of the archives," Phillips said. "Beth Gragg is a longtime volunteer too. She was one of the people instrumental in saving the building and opening it up as a museum. She volunteered up until four to five years ago."
During the open house, there will be no charge for the public to tour the museum, although donations will be accepted.
The museum was originally used as a school that opened in 1916. It served as a high school, becoming a junior high in 1939. In 1955, the school was named for John H. Reagan and served as an elementary school from 1966 to 1976 when it was closed. The building was to be demolished because of its condition but was saved by a group of citizens who did not want to lose such a historical part of the city. The building was renovated and turned into museum, which opened its doors in 1982 for the first weekend of the Dogwood Trails Celebration.
"We have several exhibits people might be interested in from the John H. Reagan Room, the John H. Reagan historic papers, the Railroad Room, Black History Room, Fire Department Room, an exhibit set up like an old school room, the Indian exhibit featuring arrowheads and exhibits featuring an old doctor's office, an old optometrist office and an old barber shop. We also have a log cabin and farming elements set up in the basement of the old school gym," Phillips said.
In addition, the museum's upstairs art gallery currently features the exhibit of Palestine digital pop artist Michael Yanez.
For the second weekend of the Dogwood Trails Celebration, the museum will be home to the 12th annual Dulcimer & Old Time Music Festival set March 21-23.
For more information about the upcoming open house or other events, call the museum at 903-723-1914.

Anne Case et al. (2002), using cross-sectional data, found a positive relationship between children's health and income, with income's protective effect increasing with age. Janet Currie and Mark Stabile (2003), using a panel of Canadian children, found that low- and high-SES children respond similarly to health shocks, but the low-SES children are subject to more shocks as they age. Our study examines this relationship using panel data for US children. We find some support for the latter result of Currie and Stabile but also evidence that low- and high-SES children respond differently to specific health shocks. (JEL D31, I12, J13)

UPDATED Thursday, June 21, 2012 --- 2:40 p.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Republican U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde says he regrets comments he made last week in which he said the media should stop writing "sob stories" about food stamp recipients because they've been widely misinterpreted.
Hovde last week said that the media should stop covering sad stories about low-income people who can't get benefits and instead focus on broader issues like the national debt.
Hovde said Thursday at a luncheon sponsored by political website wispolitics.com that he regrets making the comment. He says it didn't portray his true feelings and he has done more charity work than 99.9 percent of Americans.
Hovde says focusing on his comments distracts from the larger issue about the threat of an economic collapse that would devastate the poor and middle class.

WOODBURN -- There's no word yet what role weather may have played in a dangerous collapse at an apartment complex in Woodburn.
Stunned witnesses watched earlier Friday evening as a tree collapsed on a section of three-bedroom units at the Park Avenue Apartments. A tree-cutting service cleaned up the aftermath.
One woman says it started with a few tiny cracking sounds.
"Then all of a sudden the cracks got louder and the whole section of tree came down," she said.

Have you ever wondered what to paint first and how to get it all when the light is changing so quickly when you are plein air painting? I'll tell you what I think about and my process.
As you know, it isn't wise to start chasing the light. Once you do that your painting can be all over the place, inconsistent and not hold together in a strong composition.
The first thing that you need to do is assess your situation with the weather.
- Which direction is the light moving?
- What time of day is it?
- How much time do you have?
You need to anticipate. If you know which direction the light is moving, you will be able to tell what may be in shadow. If it is early in the morning or late afternoon, you will have less time for the light to change.
After I have thought about those variables, I look at the scene and try to figure out what will change first. Is there a rock face in shadow that may be exposed by the sun in a half hour by the moving light? In that case, I will paint the rock shadows first. Is there a tree shading something that I want in shadow? I may start there first.
Anything that is important to my story and will change quickly, may be a good starting point. A large field on sunlight probably won't change much in a short period of time. In the middle of the day, the sky won't change much. But it will change with clouds, sunset or sunrise. So, that may be the first thing that I paint in the scene.
Leave the things that won't change as rapidly to the end of your painting session. It varies with each scene and sometimes the light is fairly steady and doesn't change appreciably while you are painting. In those cases, you can paint a little more leisurely.
So, assess your scene. Paint the things that change the quickest. Then move onto the parts that will be more constant.
Enjoy painting out there!

RICHLAND COUNTY, SC — QUESTION: How many emergency machines were deployed and where? Which precincts received emergency technicians help?
As reports came in that machines were breaking down across the county, did the office run by county elections director Lillian McBride keep a written tally of which precinct needed and which received emergency help from technicians?
Did McBrides office keep a written record of which machines at which precincts were replaced?
How many replacements were deployed and to where? How many were borrowed from the State Election Commission? At what time during the day were state officials called for help?
Did McBrides office know which precincts had the greatest need whether from broken machines or simply horrifically long lines? Were those with the greatest need served first?
State Rep. Nathan Ballentine, R-Richland, reported that elections workers at 4 p.m. sent four additional machines to Dutch Fork Middle School when told that one of the four machines there wasnt working. (Voters said it wasnt working at 8 a.m.) Under the states rule requiring one machine per 250 registered voters, that precinct should have had 12 machines.
Its unclear how many other precincts complained and which got help.
McBride used 729 of the countys 930 voting machines on Election Day and held back 201 machines. Did she hold them back for emergencies? Were all 201 in working order? Or was the emergency stock depleted, too?

The decision to relieve Sunbury city councilman Joe Bartello has left many unanswered questions.
What we know for sure is that two code officers filed grievances against Bartello for a variety of offenses last month. Mayor Dave Persing ordered an investigation, which was conducted over the course of two weeks by Councilman Kevin Troup. Monday night, Troup would not reveal the results, but Persing asked for a resolution to be passed temporarily stripping Bartello from his duties in dealing with code office staff.
Bartello is still the department head and could return to the post if any legal issues are resolved.
We can live with the fact that the investigation was handled internally. It is a cheaper option than bringing in someone else to do it. The same man who led the investigation is now in charge of the employees in the code office.
Sounds odd.
That is the nature of small-town government, where officials often wear more than one hat and entanglements are unavoidable. Still, they need to be managed effectively to avoid the appearance of malfeasance.
Bartello has vowed to keep doing his job even though he is banned from having any interactions in the office.
The vote to sideline Bartello on Monday night was done in public. But Bartello, who is running as a write-in candidate against Persing for Sunbury mayor in the fall, is arguing the city violated the Sunshine Law because it held an executive session earlier in the day. Personnel matters are routinely handled in private at all levels of government.
Whether or not political interests have anything to do with any of this remains to be seen, but right now it looks like both sides have work to do.
If the officers are not doing their job according to their required duties, is that not the job of a supervisory council member to tell them to get to work? If Bartello is telling the code officers to do something and they refuse because of ties to the mayor, or because it has dubious justification, then that is a much larger issue.
If Bartello is creating a hostile work environment, as is argued in the grievances against him, and the investigation found legitimate concerns, is that not the time to get the solicitor involved?
From the outside looking in it seems as if too many personal feelings have had a say in personnel matters.

Last week, Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Secretary and CEO Richard Davey celebrated the relighting of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge with local officials, community leaders, the Zakim family and The Lenny Zakim Fund.
"Since construction, this bridge has served as a symbol for the Commonwealth," Davey said. "Today, we renew our belief that a bridge can be more than a symbol. It can help build community. This new color technology will allow us to promote, engage and inform our community in a sustainable way."
"Lenny's life and life work bridged all of greater Boston's diverse communities, just as this beautiful bridge joins Boston's neighborhoods together," said Jude Goldman, executive director of The Lenny Zakim Fund. "And as this bridge now lights up the night sky, Lenny's legacy brings light to us all as we work for a better world together."
The $150,000 investment allows MassDOT to light the Bridge towers in a more dramatic blue, but the technology also lets MassDOT create custom colors remotely, with the push of a button, with zero impact to traffic in order to participate in charity lightings and special events.
In the past, any color adjustment required a pre-planned lane closure and manual filter changes on metal halide lights.
In keeping with its GreenDOT policy, MassDOT is reducing energy consumption by approximately 80 percent with the installation of this dynamic LED lighting solution, made up of 16 fixtures. The LED lighting solution from Burlington-based Philips Color Kinetics uses high-bandwidth, bi-directional, Ethernet speed data transmission to enable the full range of dynamic, color-changing effects. The new system uses the bridge's existing electrical infrastructure, avoiding costly and disruptive electrical rewiring.
"This dynamic, eye-catching bridge, with its dynamic LED lights, once again serves as a beacon of light for Boston residents, neighbors and visitors," said Jeff Cassis, general manager of Philips Color Kinetics. "Our work with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, the Zakim family, and The Lenny Zakim Fund serves as a model example of how a joint public/private collaboration and commitment can strengthen our Boston community."
MassDOT Highway District 6 staffers worked beneath the bridge stringing more than a mile of new cable, installing lights, receivers and the final glare shields before aiming the lights with architect Miguel Rosales to prepare for today's reveal.
"The new LED lighting of the Zakim Bridge enhances the beauty of the structure by utilizing a more sustainable technology," said Miguel Rosales, president of Rosales + Partners. "I congratulate MassDOT for their forward thinking and sensitivity towards a symbol of Boston."

In their combined 48 years in law enforcement Ramona and Bob Pursley saw officers injured in all kinds of ways – but not the ones you'd assume.
They weren't getting shot or tackled in fights. They were wrecking knees, shoulders, necks and backs doing simple things, like getting out of a car quickly or reaching up for something in a cabinet, or holding onto a suspect.
Watching so many of their peers get hurt – and the chronic injuries both had sustained in their years with the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Department – led them to design a new "Fitness for Real Life" routine that helps average people the way it has helped police officers in the field.
It was Core training long before the word became a national fad. It was revolutionary at a time when working out for cops meant body building and using weight machines to get buffed. Instead, the Pursleys had officers use lighter weights, but do things that made them use many muscles at the same time.
"You don't lift tractor tires in real life, unless you are a farmer," says Pursley, 55, a lieutenant with 33 years in the Sheriff's Department. "Bench presses aren't going to help you do the things you do all day long.
"Every week I saw someone getting hurt. They were ballistic injuries, not from fighting but from getting out of their cars. Going from sitting to moving quickly without any kind of warm up. When you spend as much time in a car as we do, and then suddenly have to go into action, bad things can happen to your body."
With that in mind, the Pursleys, who may be the area's only married personal training team – and are surely the only married police training team – came up with a program that starts in the middle of a body and works its way to the extremities.
Their clients range in age from 13 to 75. They have helped a 350-pound woman achieve her goal of fitting into an airline seat, and they got a 65-year-old man who was so weak from illnesses he couldn't walk, up and going again.
"This isn't about lifting weights or body building or doing what you read in the magazines," says Bob. "It's about exercising your whole body together and making the muscles work together from head to toe."
No two workouts are the same. The couple who are certified and study continually, design programs for each person and change daily with progress or lack of progress. A lot of it is designed to be done off balance, forcing the body to use muscles it wouldn't use if you were sitting or standing comfortably.
One day Bob will have a client bouncing a 15-pound medicine ball off a wall while doing crab steps. Another time, they could be hitting the speed bag or kicking their coach's gloved hands with martial arts leg snaps.
They alternate aerobic workouts on machines such as the elliptical or treadmill with floor exercises.
They also focus on making sure the exercise is done right. A five-pound weight lifted properly can be more exhausting than a 50-pound one jerked carelessly.
There is no cheating here, and as a result an hour in the gym feels like as much of a workout as a four-mile run or 50-mile bike ride.
But this is no military exercise, ala An Officer and a Gentleman – "Gimme five more Mayonnaise!!" They motivate not by yelling, but with positive words.
"The best thing about it is that it's like family," said Naaman Starling, 51, a police officer at the Monterey the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, who achieved his goal of losing 20 pounds. "They make it fun to workout and you feel like it's a friendship."
Ramona's expertise came at great expense. She hurt her knee in a fight with a convict and luckily, got sent to the same physical therapist used by San Francisco 49er Jerry Rice. What she learned there in twice weekly trips to the city, gave her great tools for helping others.
"I learned when to push and when not to push them," said Ramona, 51. "I know the pain they are going through, because I went through it. I know what it takes to get back to normal."
Ramona sadly retired after 15 years because of her knee, which had to be replaced. She's been fighting other health issues, such as Lupus, but refuses to give up.
"I'm a walking expert of what it takes to get your body going," she says.
"I could stay in bed every day and just not get up, like a lot of people in this condition might do. But I can't do that. I have 6-year-old to get through college and I know I have to keep pushing myself."
Born in Watsonville and raised in Los Angeles, Ramona has faced challenges her whole life, finally finding one she loved with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Department. She ran a Watsonville auto shop with her first husband and began long distance running when she had her first baby, pushing a stroller.
Then she responded to an ad for correctional officers and got the job. Facing off her 5-foot 3.5-inch, 120-pound body against bulked up jailhouse inmates, she added weight-training and self-defense to her arsenal and loved her work as a deputy. ("Make sure you get that half an inch in there," she says.)
Her favorite thing about her time in law enforcement was cleaning up the migrant camps in South County and getting them rebuilt legally.
She and Bob met when both were on patrol. They got engaged on New Year's Eve 20 years ago, and every year after they spent the holiday dressed in full riot gear in the backs of police trucks.
"We would gaze lovingly at each other through our shields," she recalls.
Her husband's path was no less challenging. After graduating high school in Ohio and serving at Castle Air Force Base in Merced, he got hired as the second African American deputy in the Santa Cruz Sheriff's Department (there are still only three, one of them, his grown son).
His beat, when he weighed in at 150, was Boulder Creek, still known today as having a let's say, down-home back-country attitude, more like Arkansas than Santa Cruz.
"I was in a fight every single night," says Pursley. "I knew I had to do something to get an edge."
He began body building and studying self-defense, becoming a rock solid 225-pound action figure and eventually becoming a medalist in the Police Olympics, while he moved up through the ranks, working on the SWAT team, the Bomb Unit and reaching the high echelons, directing Patrol.
Later, his own serious back injuries got him to study methods of building strength that worked for daily life. He calls the system BEST, short for Balance, Endurance, Strength and Teaching.
Pursley doesn't just tell clients what to do, he teaches them why, so they can do the exercises on their own and teach them to others.
The couple work out of their own gym in Aptos, but also work for Coast Physical Therapy on 41st Avenue.
They don't believe a person is a success only by reaching their goals, but by taking on the challenge.
"Everyone who walks though that door is a success story," says Bob. "The minute you walk through the door, and you came in here and got started, you are a success."
Reach them at Functional Interval Strength Training, Aptos.

For four weeks, we'll capture aerial video of the make-or-break crop districts. Videos will include commentary from Pro Farmer Editor Chip Flory and Farm Journal Field Agronomist Ken Ferrie. We'll also feature GeoSys thermal maps, so you can compare. The Pro Farmer team will provide weekly crop progress data and commentary.
The highlighted crop districts will be surveyed during the next four weeks, from the air, for the "Eye in the Sky" crop reports. These areas represent some of the highest corn and soybean yield and acreage areas of each state.
During the 2013 Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour, Pro Farmer, AgWeb and scouts gathered extensive coverage, data and field reports from these three key states. Read all coverage from these states:

GEOSYS is providing satellite maps and information to Farm Journal to demonstrate new tools available to track crop progress and field variability. Using NDVI, GEOSYS creates in-season crop health maps. Crop health has a high correlation to final yield, particularly after Aug. 15 for corn.
GEOSYS provides a range of services. Timely in-season imagery allows crop performance analysis through the GEOSYS Crop Health Monitor™ service. Yield potential maps, based on more than 10 years of field history, provide a highly accurate benchmark that can help growers evaluate the current year and plan for the coming season with the GEOSYS Field Profit Planner.

Four out of five Americans experience back pain at some point in their lives. It can occur from lifting a heavy object, a sports injury or arthritis – or for no apparent reason. What matters most to the sufferer is finding out how to relieve the pain and regain normal function. That's where Shelley Freimark, MD, of the Brain + Spine Center comes in.
Dr. Freimark is a physiatrist – a physician who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation. Physiatrists treat a wide range of problems relating to the musculoskeletal system – from joint pain, muscle sprains and degenerative conditions to back pain and spinal cord injuries. More specifically, the physicians are nerve, muscle, and bone experts who treat injuries or illnesses that affect how you move.
"We're physicians of function," Dr. Freimark explained. "We try to restore the patient to function through conservative treatments. The overall goal is to enhance performance and decrease pain without surgery."
Conservative treatment options
Dr. Freimark's evaluation for a new patient typically begins with a comprehensive physical exam, which includes a complete assessment of the musculoskeletal and neurological systems to identify the "pain generator." If further assessment is needed, she may order tests such as X-ray or MRI. She also specializes in EMG (electromyogram) and nerve conduction testing for the diagnosis of neuromuscular disease.
"The beauty of what we offer here is that we get a solid diagnosis," she noted. "We don't just send patients to a therapist or pain center with the term 'back pain'. My specialty is to hone it down to what is causing the problem so that treatment can be very concise."
Treatment options include physical therapy, joint or spinal injections, or medication use. Dr. Freimark works closely with therapists and other physicians to coordinate a patient's overall care, and monitors the results. She calls it "one-stop shopping" for getting the best care from the most appropriate team of experts.
"We put all the pieces together and see if we can improve patients' function and pain through conservative treatment options," she said. If surgery is indeed the best option for relieving severe pain, Brain + Spine Center neurosurgeons David W. Lowry, MD, and Adam Kremer, MD, are available for consultation.

A little sad its not 5 years, but locking him in for less than the max makes me happy.
Danny Chau wrote up an interesting article about Gordo
The ratings for teams in NBA 2k14 were released today, and it appears that they believe the Utah Jazz are the worst team in the league. I'm not surprised by the rating, but it's incredible that they think we're best than the historically terrible Bobcats or the presently terrible looking Bucks. Was the addition of Al Jefferson really enough to elevate the Bobcats above our young guns? Is the gap between Larry Sanders and Derrick Favors really so great that we deserve to be deemed the bottom of the NBA barrel?
sort of an interesting list that tries to value players over the next few years, factoring in stuff like minutes played and money paid. really a lot here to browse thru. during the long summer just another way to look at players and teams. the jazz are a good way down the list, and you have to realize that some players such as rush are listed under one team name in the midst of a teams roster of players

The Kymco People S motor scooter comes in four different versions. While the body style of these four scooters varies slightly, the primary difference between them is in the engine. Kymco offers the People S series with 50 cc, 125 cc, 200 cc and 250 cc engines. The 2006 Kymco People S series is the perfect choice for stop-and-go city driving. These scooters are easy to park, fuel-efficient, and have great braking abilities.
At 16 inches in diameter, the wheels on the People S scooters are significantly larger than those of similar scooters. These larger wheels mean that the scooter is not quite as nimble as scooters with smaller wheels. However, they also mean that the scooter has better traction and handling at higher speeds. Users have noted that the large wheels give the People S more of a ""motorcycle"" feel. When drivers take the People S out on the highway, these wheels guarantee stability. The big wheels also give riders a smoother ride when facing bumpy streets and potholes.
The appearance of the People S series is more ""boxy"" than the typical aerodynamic look that long-time Kymco fans have come to expect. However, test drivers commented that not having the typical scooter ""hump"" in the center of the floorboard was surprisingly comfortable for long rides. The flat, square floorboard enables the driver to easily shift position, leading to better balance and stability. This boxy floorboard will be especially attractive for shorter drivers.
The engines of the People S series scooters run smoothly for a peaceful, comfortable ride. Additionally, these motors are unfailingly faithful, giving People S owners years of service. Kymco engines are particularly noted for being low-maintenance. Most of Kymco""s scooters leave the factory with a speed-governor on the engine, and the People S series is no different. However, Kymco owners have found removing these restrictions fairly uncomplicated. The most common problem of long-time owners is that the speedometer of the People S is rather unreliable.
