Is anyone able to pick up KSDI (RF 44), KMSG (RF 39) or KVBC (RF 26) today?
I am getting audio only on KMPH-CD 17 (rf 49), a black screen with no picture, anyone else have the same problem?
they haven't officially launched yet, and are still doing testing. doing a manual add channel 26 shows up on my TV as 13.1 MeTV. but when actually added my only see, I believe, 13.6 13.7 13.8 13.9 these channels are all showing up on my TV twice, because rf 24's PSIP is also displaying the exact same channels. I have seen them with a blank screen, video and audio, and completely off the air.
13.1-13.10 are already on air.
Reprogramming my tuner is such a PITA.
More channels is always a good thing!!!
Did anyone else have any problems on ABC 30 KFSN last night? It was doing the same thing that FOX does, pixilating and going black.
I know all 10 of the 13 subchannels have EPG data over the air, but not on TiVO. Do you get any info on channels 33 and 39 from Fresno either??
I have been trying to get TiVo to include the guide data for the Merced Zip code, but they move slow, lol.
Are there any other channels you don't get info for?
KNXT 49.1 (rf 50.1) the Catholic channel only shows as 50-1 for me, no name or EPG.
I really wanted to get the KSDI network channels (VF 33.1,33.2,33.3, 33.4, & 33.6; RF 44) sent via low power over Cocola Broadcasting, but no luck; I believe the tower for KSDI is at 100° to my location and 27 miles. France 24 is on KSDI.
When I lived in Old Town Clovis a year ago, only 3.1 miles E/SE from my current address, I used a Winegard SS-3000 Amplified Indoor UHF/VHF Antenna. At times I would get KSDI from just manipulating those indoor rabbit ears. I had an western saloon hearth with a high top (7') I could set the indoor antenna on.
I now am using a CM 3016, roof mounted. Originally I was using a preamp, but I was overshooting and had to remove it; I did test to alternate positions before removal, and did not receive KSDI.
I have yet to ground-out my antenna, and I know there should be some RF reduction, but not tons. It will be grounded with a #6 AWG, but mine will not be a lightening protection system, only a solid, static discharge grounding. Separately, on the opposite side of the house, I have a Pixel AFHD-4 for AM/FM HD Radio (specifically HD-FM channels for my HDT-1X and KNBR for the Giants). Collectively, these coaxial cables all feed into the same wall panel space (including an outgoing coax to inject power via a PS-1403 and an incoming CATV coax line – not yet connected). I don't seem to be having any interference issues. When I ground the AFHD-4 I hope to reduce a little static from KNBR (AM 680). The power injector coax feeds up to the roof line PS-1403, splits off to the antenna connection and separately to an 8-way Leviton passive splitter (47690-8) mounted right next to the PS-1403. The 8-way then feeds 7 locations in the house, including the family room.
I have also built a toggle switch for OTA/CATV with PL-259 F-type adapters that works beautifully. http://www.dxengineering.com/parts/mfj-1702c
I now live next to C.S.U., Fresno; I'm getting many channels with minimal pixelation, the exception being some issues with 13.3 (Movies!) and 13.8 (Untamed Sports). These two channels are part of the new Cocola Broadcasting-VenturaTV venture for channels 13.1-13.10 (KVBC). These channels receive more power than KSDI, but I believe they all are located approximately 100° from my location, at a distance of 27 miles. GPS tower coordinates: 36.746,-119.283.
I've currently placed my antenna at approximately 75°, this is a hair farther south than mid-way between my ABC/NBC/CBS/ KVHF/KAIL at 43° and FOX/PBS/KJEO(MeTV) at 103°. This location allows me to get 52 channels, but not KNXT (49.1), not KSDI (7 channels), and not KTFF (VF 61.1) in Bakersfield. I can get KTFF if I aim the antenna at 126°, but I then lose KVHF (5 channels), 3ABN (in Del Rey, CA - 5 channels), and KJEO channels (6) & KMSG channels (3). If I move to exactly 103°, I think I lose some of KVHF.
Any ideas folks? Is it a line of sight issue? I know there are a couple of pines along the sight path (103°) off the back of my house, approximately 75-100 feet away.I feel there might be a trick to lock in KSDI and KNXT though, although it has eluded me. Again, using a preamp has only caused failure of PBS and most other lower-power channels.
The eScapes network on KSDI had also been frozen on one scene for the last 3 days.
The KVBC 13 broadcast towers are on Meadow Lake. Same place as most of the major networks. Due to my distance, I get KNXT, KMSG, and KKDI all within a close enough directionality to use only one preset on my antenna rotor for then all.
Meadow Lakes towers (90 Miles south) being the closest Fresno stations to me, and KNXT (140.3 Miles south) I can't give you any real help, just ask if you have checked tvfool.com with your specific address to see if you might be in a dead zone?
I'm 103.8 Miles north of KSDI, so I do suffer daytime fade. It has been really strong the last few nights.
I know at least as my house last night, I was getting Bakersfield tv with stronger signal strength than Fresno, even getting KUVI 45 on my secondary antenna, pointed north towards Sacramento.
@bfermming Ch 33 (44) KSDI blew its major amplifiers, and is only operating on a 25 Watt exciter right now. You should be able to get it sometime next week when it is back up to full power.
A lot of Fresno is unable to revive it now.
The caveat of course is not being able to get all the channels. I realize also I may have not perfectly assessed KNXT, and not checked 50.1 (only 49.1). My television does not give signal strength reads (but I will check the submenus). It is a Sharp Aquos from 2007.
Thank you for the details regarding where the other channels fall on the dial, (39, 41, 43) I am receiving all of these. If I can figure out KNXT, I will be more than happy until KSDI goes live again.
Strangely, I think there were two ZUUS channels - one was country, and I thought the other was Latin, but I cannot remember. I know there were only 2-3 "39" series channels.
KNXT's PSIP injector is broken, so they broadcast and are received on 50.1 OTA.
Does anyone know anything about K13ZL-D? I have never seen it on or anything about it before today. It was in earlier with a strong signal, but no picture??

Budding fashion designer from Wimbledon launches luxury clothing line
4:00am Friday 17th January 2014 in News By Louisa Clarence-Smith, Reporter
A budding fashion designer who faced unemployment after graduating with a BA in Printed Textiles has fought back with the launch of her own luxury clothing line.
Mary Zreik, 28, of Wimbledon Park, left school without any GCSEs; something she attributes to undiagnosed dyslexia, despite a love of learning.
She juggled caring for her mum with several design courses at South Thames College, Wandsworth and Kingston College, before starting a foundation course at London College of Fashion.
But after completing her BA at the University of East London, Miss Zreik struggled to find work in the creative industries.
She said: "When I left uni I didn't get a job and I felt a bit lost. Then I was accepted by 'Ladies who Learn', an initiative for young women who don't have jobs and need inspiration. They opened doors for me and put me in touch with 'The Rix Mix', a charity and social enterprise that hosts arts events."
With their support, Miss Zreik sent eight models strutting down the catwalk in her 'contemporary-urban' printed textile designs on Friday night.
She said: "This is a really personal show. I want to make outfits that people can wear and talk about and think about the patterns they can see.
"I love it when people can talk about their clothing and be passionate about what they're wearing."
Miss Zreik starts her design process by taking photographs, from which she makes drawings to use for screen-printing on Pure Silk fabric.
In five year's time, she hopes to be running her own boutique, with plenty of investment so she can give up her part-time job as a customer assistant and devote more time to designing.
Mary is part of The Prince's Trust Creative Careers programme and has been sponsored by Cockpit Arts. To see more of Mary's work, visit: http://mzdesigns.carbonmade.com.

3 Changes to 529 Savings Plans This Year
College savings plans are becoming increasingly flexible and affordable for parents.
This year, 529 plans, tax-advantaged college investment accounts, are getting better in big ways: grandparents can contribute more without tax implications, plan funds can be used for technology purchases, and investment prices are dropping.
While 529 plans have always been a great way for parents to pay for college, the increased flexibility makes them even better, says Roger Thompson, vice president for enrollment management at the University of Oregon. The IRS is "adding the essentials that make a student successful," he notes, including now allowing parents to withdraw 529 plan funds for students to buy laptops.
[Follow this college savings checklist in 2013.]
Here are the three 529 plan changes every parent should look for this year.
1. Increased gift tax exemptions: If grandparents want to donate to their grandchildren's 529 plans, they can now give $14,000 annually before they're charged a gift tax, says Jimmy Williams, a personal finance specialist and certified public accountant in Oklahoma.
Last year, the limit was $13,000. Since five years of the exempted amount can be gifted at one time, that's a 5-year donation of $70,000 per grandchild, he adds. A married couple could give $140,000, provided they don't give additional funds to the same grandchild in the 5-year time span, he says.
For example, if a grandparent who has the means to do so contributed $70,000 to each grandchild, he or she wouldn't get taxed. However, if the grandparent decided to give another $1,000 next year, he or she would get taxed on the $1,000, in addition to any other additional gifts during that 5-year period, Williams notes.
[Learn how grandparents can help parents save for college.]
2. Expanded qualified expenses: Last year, families generally couldn't use 529 plan funds for laptops, iPads, Internet service, and software, Williams says. But the IRS is going high tech and realizes these are potentially necessary items for higher education, he says. Parents of a student who receives a full or partial scholarship can now use the funds they've saved for years to enhance their child's educational experience, Thompson notes.
If a parent saved $40,000 for college, but a student only needs $20,000 after grants, scholarships, and tax credits are factored in, they would have half the funds in their 529 plan remaining. Some of this money could be used on technology. In prior years, excess funds would have to be transferred to a student, normally a younger sibling, or eventually be withdrawn with the possibility of incurring a tax penalty, Williams says.
However, families need to be careful about the amount they spend on supplies of any kind, because spending in excess can trigger a federal tax audit. For instance, you might be able to deduct $20 per month for Internet service, but not for a high-end $50 plan, Williams says. Families need to consult with the educational institution's financial aid office or their accountant before withdrawing funds for technology and supplies.
[Explore the U.S. News Most Connected Colleges rankings.]
3. Dropping plan prices: "States are clamping down on management fees for 529 plans, thus putting pressure on plan managers to reduce prices," Williams says. As a result, rates are getting lower for consumers, he says.
Also contributing to this trend is competitive bidding among plan management companies to run 529 plans on behalf of states, says John Heywood, principal for Vanguard's Retail Investor Group.
In the last seven months, Vanguard, a mutual fund company, has reduced prices on three of its full-service plans, in which Vanguard serves as the investment manager and provides investment management and phone support from trained 529 plan representatives. The price for the New York 529 College Savings Program's direct plan was reduced by 32 percent. Expect the downward pricing trend to continue throughout 2013, Williams says.

Max Wittek is likely to start for the USC Trojans at quarterback.
Georgia Tech interim defensive coordinator Charles Kelly's job probably depends on how well the Yellow Jackets play against the USC Trojans offense in the Sun Bowl.
According to multiple sources, USC quarterback Matt Barkley may sit out of the Sun Bowl to reduce the risk of re-injuring his shoulder.
Georgia Tech running back Orwin Smith will go down as one of the most explosive players in school history thanks to his knack for big plays.
Georgia Tech long snapper Tyler Morgan has excelled as a long snapper since joining the Yellow Jackets as a walk-on in 2009.
Georgia Tech safety Chris Milton is expected to start for the injured Isaiah Johnson in the 2012 Sun Bowl.
With Marqise Lee and Robert Woods lining up for the Trojan offense, Georgia Tech will be challenged.
Georgia Tech coaches aren't saying how they'll deploy the team's two quarterbacks for their Sun Bowl matchup with USC.
Despite not-so-great numbers, the Trojans could pose one of the toughest challenges Georgia Tech's offense has faced all year.
The junior safety had started 26-consecutive games for the Yellow Jackets before suffering an injury in practice.

I have lived in Auburn for 80 years. On Nov. 23, I was on my way to Central Maine Medical Center. It normally takes me about 30 minutes to get there but that day it took me one hour to make the trip.
In all the years I have lived here, I have never seen the plowing of the main streets so poorly done.
There was no sanding done and the plow blades were up some 2-and-a-half inches from the pavement.
What is wrong?
People have said there is no money. I don't believe it. The winter budget was passed a long time ago for the highway department.
When are Auburn residents going to stop putting up with it? When?

Our new home. After years of saving, scrimping and going without, we have a beautiful new home. While I am always first and foremost grateful for my family, we now have a home that reflects us, can fit all of us, and lets us lead happier lives.
I am thankful for my 3 children even when I am grumpy and over scheduled I go into their rooms when they are asleep and think how thankful I am to have healthy and loving children.
I lost a son in February. The season of grief has made me so thankful EVERYDAY for my two healthy children. Everyday when one wants to help load the dishes when I just want to get them done, to play on the floor when my 2 year old asks, even though I really need to be doing something else, to "sit" and watch a movie snuggled with them on the couch instead of working on a project....I am thankful for every moment, every breath of life that God has given us to share with each other. Don't get so caught up in the business of life that we pass up these "simple" ways to show our loved ones how important they are! You never know when it will be the last.
I also "liked" you on facebook and tweeted this:)
I am thankful for jobs for my husband and I. A roof over our head, food in the cupboards, and family and friends. In this day and age, these are major blessings. I hope that this rough time will bring people back to what really matters in life. Family, Faith, and Charity.
I tweeted about the giveaway!
like on fb
though i am thankful for all of the normal things: husband, pets, jobs, homes, friends and family. I am the most thankful for my mom.
I was in a major car accident 7 weeks ago and she has been my life source though it all. I cant walk, stand or even wipe my own butt right now without her help. she's always been there for me, but she's been by my side since the accident. She even slept in the uncomfortable hospital chairs for 2 weeks while i was in the ICU ad trauma ward.
I don't think I'll ever be able to repay her for what she's done for me.
I am thankful to be a wife and a mom and that we are all healthy. I am thankful to have a job even though I am sick of it. LOL I am thankful for our family and friends.
I am thankful to be healthy and have 3 healthy children. What more could I ask for? And a healthy husband.... Ooops that is super important too.
I am truly thankful for my family. Wonderful husband and children as well as the best parents ever!

This is what I have been doing for 3 months. I notice some size gains, and just recently some strength gains. All work outs are 3x10-12 Rest between sets are no more than 2 mins.
Yesterday weighed in at 183lbs, im 5'7'' 20-22%BF (wasit minus neck size?)
Thoughs are to change my routine the first of June.
What are your guys thoughts??????
For one, most people recommend only 4 days a week on their workout schedule.
Way too much volume. You have tons of redundant motions in each session. Chest for example, there is no need to do 5 different pressing motions during a session.

i knew you were a beast but not that kinda of a beast that eats grown men and children.. lilmase
Damn, how long are you in the gym for?
Everything is for me.
A lot of people get that feeling (they're wrong). If you were doing less volume, I guarantee you'd be getting your 1rm, 5rm, 8rm (whatever you're doing) maxes up, which is what you should be focusing on instead of burning off calories on 8 different kinds of bicep curls...
I took your routine and made a full-body split out of it, while scrapping all redundant/stupid exercises, added in some stuff... Here's what I got, in no particular order:
Incline BB or DB Bench (opposite of flat)
BB or Tbar Rows
DB Side or Front Raises
Weighted Incline Abdominal Curls
Flat BB or DB Bench (opposite of incline)
Weighted Pullups
ONE type if bicep curl
Glute-Ham Raises
Weighted Dips
DB or BB OH Press
Calf Raises
DB or BB Shrugs

Lots of exercises shown here with videos and descriptions organized by body part worked. Also shows secondary muscles worked.
It's a 3 day split. Like Monday, Wednesday, Friday, weekend off.Thanks for your help. Is this day1,2,3, rest and repeat? Not sure what Glute-Ham Raises are? What about some tricep movements?
Thanks again!
If you want to do more you could add in some filler exercises and make a 4-day split out of it, but any more than that is overkill for anyone besides competitive powerlifters with crazy stamina.
Glute-Ham Raises...http://www.exrx.net/AnimatedEx/Hamst...teHamRaise.gif
^Most gyms have something that looks kinda like that... it's a good athletic movement (a good training tool for anyone who's looking for some explosive leg-drive [jumping higher, sprinting faster]). You can add weight by holding a plate behind your head.
As for tricep exercises, Dips and Bench (especially close-grip) should pretty well cover it, but if you really want to you can tack on any of the stuff you were doing before... Cable Pushdowns, Skull Crushers, anything along those lines.
But really, a lot of people find tricep isolation exercises to be unnecessary and I tend to agree. The only time I'd worry about it is if you're having trouble locking out on Bench, which is a sure sign of lagging tri's.

You're not ready to create your own split yet... until then, stick with pre-made programs.
Arm day, leg curls and shrugs... but no deadlifts.
Last edited by Songsangnim; 04-14-2008 at 08:46 PM.
An extreme pump is not indicative of hard work being performed. Get over that notion and focus on intensity and progress.
Why is the routine given by D full body? Only one method of bicep curl, is this intended to be changed weekly or what?
What exactly is WRONG with 5 day workouts?
Can anyone link to articles on full body training that I see a lot of routines pushing?
Last edited by mistergalarza; 04-15-2008 at 12:06 PM.
You also should realize how redundant some of your workouts are. Why do things like BB shrugs AND DB shrugs or BB military press AND DB military press. Wouldn't it be smarter to just pick one or the other and do it with heavier weight?
Lets look at your Day 2 (back day) for a minute.
BB rows AND T-Bar rows?
Pull ups AND One arm pulls AND Close grip pull downs?
EZ bar curl AND DB hammers AND one arm DB curl AND Cable curl Str bar?
Why not do a back/bi day that is more like
Deadlifts (upper/mid/lower back + traps ... best back exercise u can do)
Weighted Pull ups (upper back + biceps)
BB rows (mid back + biceps)
EZ bar curl OR DB hammers (biceps)
That completely covers all parts of your back and biceps. If you do a weight heavy enough that you are exhausted after doing sets of 3x5 you will get a much better workout than doing twice as many redundant exercises for 3x10.
That's just correcting one of your days. There are lots of premade workouts you can find on this site that will put you in the gym anywhere from 3-5 days a week. Find one of those that you like and lift heavy.
Height: 6'4 - Weight: 235 lbs - Age: 31
DL: 530 x 1
Squat: 355 x 1
Bench: 350 x 1
if you were to do Day 2 in the above post with the right amount of intensity then you will find that it may be difficult to find the energy to add in the curls at the end. intensity is the key here... heavy weights, limited rest time.

Tell us what your "track" is then tell us where you think you are. You have the answers, but that's only half the problem.
As opposed to, say, Squats, DB flat bench, Chinups, and Incline Abdominal Curls in succession, you're only using each major muscle group once so you should be able to give each lift 100%.
Only one method of bicep curl because it's not an important exercise. Believe it or not, your biceps will grow just fine from BO Rows, Chinups, ~3500 calories a day, and no bicep curls at all.
Nothing is wrong with a 5 day routine if you can handle it. Some people can't. And then there's the people that think they can, but would be getting better results from a 3 or 4 day split (this is about 90% of your high school / college jocks who think you have to be in constant DOMS-pain or you're doing it wrong). Sometimes, less is more.
Don't have any articles, sorry.

Clark listed on Preseason State Farm Wade Trophy Watch List
Among an elite group of 25 national playersJuly 30, 2009 · Athletic Communications
Alysha Clark is one of 25 national players on the Preseason State Farm Wade Trophy Watch List. (Bradley Lambert)
ATLANTA - Middle Tennessee rising senior Alysha Clark has been selected as one of 25 players nationally on the 2009-10 Preseason State Farm Wade Trophy Watch List it was unveiled by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Thursday on behalf of the Wade Coalition.
"I have been working hard this summer to expand my game and bring more to my team," Clark said. "This is great for Middle Tennessee."
Clark, a Mt. Juliet, Tenn., native, garnered three separate All-American accolades last season as she helped lead the Blue Raiders to a 28-6 record and appearance in the NCAA Tournament. In addition, Clark was tabbed the Sun Belt Player of the Year, its Newcomer of the Year and as its Tournament MVP while leading the nation in scoring with 27.5 points per game.
"I have thought all along she should be included on there from the beginning after her great year last season," Middle Tennessee head coach Rick Insell said. "She has proven she is one of the best players in the country on multiple occasions. She has had a tremendous summer, highlighted by her trip to Colorado for the World University Games Team tryouts. If anyone is deserving of this award, it would be her."
Clark spent four days in mid-May as one of 29 collegiate players competing for a spot on the World University Games squad. While she did not make the team, the experience gave her an opportunity to play against some of her All-American peers and other top players from around the country.
She will be one of six seniors, one of five starters and one of 11 letterwinners returning this season for Insell's fifth year as the Blue Raider head coach.
The 25-member list is made up of top NCAA Division I student-athletes who best embody the spirit of Lily Margaret Wade according to the following criteria: game and season statistics, leadership, character, effect on their team and overall playing ability.
The State Farm Wade Trophy, now in its 33rd year and named after the late, legendary three-time national champion Delta State University coach, Lily Margaret Wade, debuted in 1978 as the first-ever women's national player of the year award in college basketball. This highly prestigious award, regarded as the "Heisman of Women's Basketball," is organized by the WBCA, in conjunction with the National Association for Girls and Women in Sport (NAGWS).
The 2010 State Farm Wade Trophy winner will be announced at the WBCA National Convention, held in conjunction with the NCAA Women's Final Four, in San Antonio, Texas, April 2-6.

Onion prices declined this week as the quality of the arrivals was low, leading to lack of buying interest in markets around growing areas in Maharashtra.
"Growers are brining low quality or damaged stocks to markets. The onion stocks are nearing the end of their shelf life and, hence, the problem in quality," said Rupesh Jaju, Director of Nashik-based United Pacific Agro Pvt Ltd that exports onion.
Prices ranged between Rs 350 and Rs 600 in most places but ruled higher in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra.
At Lasalgaon Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee yard, Asia's biggest yard for onion, the modal price or the rate at which most trades took place was Rs 530 a quintal, down from Rs 624 last week.
Arrivals throughout this week were below 1,850 tonnes daily against over 2,000 tonnes last week.
"Overall, there is no demand due to end of season arrivals. As a result, even exporters, particularly to the Gulf, are uninterested," said Jaju.
In the domestic markets, buyers from Kolkata were absent since there was a lack of demand from Bangladesh.
Prices are unlikely to rise for another fortnight in view of poor quality of arrivals.
Meanwhile, the early kharif onion is expected to be a fair one, though arrivals will be late.
Recent rain in the growing areas would help the crop.

Store data logged by Scope signal viewer
Note: The Simulink.ScopeDataLogs class is used in conjunction with the ModelDataLogs logging data format. The ModelDataLogs format is supported for backwards compatibility. The ModelDataLogs format will be removed in a future release.
For new models, use the Dataset logging format. If you use the Dataset format for signal logging, then Simulink® does not log the signals configured to be logged in the Signal Viewer. Explicitly mark the signal for signal logging by using the Signal Properties dialog box. To access the Signal Properties dialog box, right-click a signal and from the context menu, select Properties.
Simulink software creates instances of this class to log data displayed on Scope viewers (see Visualize Results). In particular, if you have enabled data logging for a model, Simulink software creates an instance of this class for each scope viewer enabled for logging in the model and assigns it to a property of the model's Simulink.ModelDataLogs object. The instance created for each viewer has a Name property whose value is the name specified on the History pane of the viewer's parameter dialog box (see Scope for more information). The instance also has an axes property for each of the scope's axes labeled Axes1, Axes2, etc. The value of each axes property is itself a Simulink.ScopeDataLogs object that contains Simulink.Timeseries objects, one for each signal displayed on the axes. The time series objects contain the signal data displayed on the axes.
Consider, for example, the following model (openopen):
This model displays signals out1 and out2 on a scope viewer that has only one set of axes.
The model enables data logging for the scope viewer under the variable name ScopeData and for the model as a whole under the default variable name logsout.
After simulation of the model, the MATLAB® workspace contains a Simulink.ModelDataLogs object named logsout containing a Simulink.ScopeDataLogs object that in turn contains a Simulink.ScopeDataLogs object that contains Simulink.Timeseries objects that contain the times series data for signals out1 and out 2.
You can use Simulink data object dot notation to access the data, e.g.,
>> logsout.ScopeData.axes1 ans = Simulink.ScopeDataLogs (axes1): Name elements Simulink Class out1 1 Timeseries out2 1 Timeseries

Johnstown got some good news in last Sunday's editions of The Tribune-Democrat.
A study by Lumos Labs of San Francisco found that the Johnstown/Altoona metro area was the eighth-smartest nationwide.
It was a story that seemed to draw an almost identical reaction: "What? Seriously? That can't be right, can it?"
It's not hard to understand the region's incredulity. If there is one thing this region lacks above all others it's self-esteem.
There are plenty of reasons for that. When your city is best known for devastating natural disasters and an industry that died out decades ago it's not always easy to look at the positive.
Unflattering terms such as "Rustbelt" and "brain drain" combined with the distressed-city status that has hovered over Johnstown for nearly 20 years don't make for a flattering self-portrait.
As negative as that image can be, it doesn't compare to the one that some former Johnstown residents are so quick to convey with posts on The Tribune-Democrat's website.
Any story that sheds an unfavorable light on the city – whether it is about the economy, local government or even the weather – seems to induce a string of comments such as "That's why I left Johnstown."
It's amazing that the people who claim to be so glad to be out of this neck of the woods find it necessary to continually check back in to see what's happening here. Those who don't like it here are free to seek greener pastures, but why should they feel the need to gloat about how much better their lives are elsewhere?
There are plenty of us who like it here. Our families, often, are here. Our friends are here. We've got roots and we like our communities.
And, believe it or not, there are many who yearn to return here.
I have a friend who has a great job in New York City working for ESPN. For a sports junkie and media member, that should be the thrill of a lifetime. But she's quick to point out that it's not home. New York might be the "City That Never Sleeps," but, for her, that can't compete with Johnstown's motto of "Friendly, Safe and Clean."
Another 30-something professional who grew up around here is eager to relocate to Johnstown from Pittsburgh.
He told me that, while driving into the city, he was hit with a wave of nostalgia. For him, heading into Johnstown on Route 56 always brought a little extra excitement because it brought back memories of concerts at Cambria County War Memorial Arena or sporting events at Point Stadium.
Those two examples, both of which were brought to my attention in the past week, along with the Lumos study, show that there is still reason for optimism in Johnstown.
It's not all doom and gloom.
The study shows that we do have some great minds here and anecdotal evidence proves that some of those who have left the area are eager to return. Don't believe me? Just count the number of times someone says "I miss Johnstown," during the upcoming Thunder in the Valley events.
So we have a critical resource – bright people who want to be here. We just have to figure out how to best make use of that resource.
And now we know we have the minds to do just that.

Ryne received the assignment just past full dark. She muttered a curse as she yanked on her ankle boots, but it lacked heat. The timing sucked, but what else was new?
She shrugged into a jean jacket. The denim wasn't warm enough for March, but she couldn't risk being impeded by a heavy coat. Not when she never knew what she'd be facing till she was up close and personal with it. After drawing a few deep breaths to center herself, she chanted the spell to open a transit.

Ryne is a magical troubleshooter, sworn to protect the innocent from being harmed by magic--and she's been chasing Anise, her former mentor, for six years. Deke is a private investigator who knows something key to defeating Anise. But Anise cast a dark spell over him, and even though Ryne has managed to temporarily lift the curse, Deke can't remember what it is that he knows.

Pella —
They always excite everyone. People stop their cars alongside the road, run out of the house and onto the yard to look up to a magnificent, peacefully floating hot air balloon. On last Thursday evening, I was able to be the person in the basket, looking down on the people waving up at us as we gently floated by.
It was a practice flight and just-for-fun hot air balloon ride the night before the 3rd Annual Red Rock Lake Balloon Fest. My pilot was Jeremy King of the FlyinKOAT Balloon Team out of Indianola. He had been around hot air balloons before, and he played with the idea of buying one and thought, "Why not?" So eight years ago, after hours of pilot training, practice fly time, and the completion of the FAA test to obtain his license, he purchased his first hot air balloon to fly for both hobby and competition. As a participant in Red Rock Lake's Balloon Fest, he was excited to take us out in his balloon named "Old School" for a practice flight before the weekend's competition.
Several other balloons took off out of Knoxville and Pella that evening, and I was joined by Matt Kissinger, President of Lake Red Rock Association and Edward Jones Financial Advisor at Knoxville, and his wife, Debbie. We were all experiencing a hot air balloon ride for the first time, and were all a little nervous as we watched King and his crew unload a small basket with the colored balloon wrapped up inside.
I didn't know what to expect, but I didn't expect a basket that only came up to my waist and was just about 3'x4' wide. King was cool and calm as he and the team rolled out the balloon, undid the straps holding the balloon together, and started putting in the pieces to the basket, or gondola in balloonist lingo. Four 10 gallon LP tanks were in each corner, ready to fuel our way across Knoxville. I felt a little better after he mentioned the mandatory inspections balloons undergo every year.
After the balloon was unwrapped and stretched out on the grass, King switched on a fan at the base of the balloon and we watched it balloon up. It didn't take long and soon we were climbing into the basket amidst the blow of LP and flames shooting up into the balloon to make it rise.
Pretty soon we were floating up peacefully and quietly. The height surprisingly did not bother me. The highest we went up was 800 feet, a small distance compared to the 7,000 feet King travelled up to on one flight. As we soared over Knoxville, young kids and families ran out into their yards and streets to wave hello.
"My personal opinion, the best part of ballooning is the thrill of seeing people's faces light up, especially kids. It's great to see them smile," King commented as he blasted more LP up until the balloon.
In less than 10 minutes we had passed over the VA facilities. We were travelling no faster than 10 miles per hour, but we seemed to be moving over the city and fields in no time. Turns out there aren't many hay fields in between Knoxville and Pleasantville, which is where King always tries to land, so we travelled for quite some time looking for a good place to land the balloon.
King was practiced at his ballooning, and would skim close to fields looking for a place to land and take us back up if it wasn't a good landing spot. You simply go where the wind takes you, so finding a spot to land is tricky. The pilot has a team down below watching your route, trying to pinpoint a good landing spot that is away from power lines, crop and livestock.
An hour and a half after takeoff and 12 miles later, we skidded to a stop in a bean field just east of Pleasantville. The Kissingers and I bent our knees and grasped onto the side of the basket as we skidded a few times to a stop, and then walked the balloon out of the field and closer to the road.
Riding in a hot air balloon for an hour and a half was an awesome experience, and watching 29 balloons launch and fly over Lake Red Rock and seeing them lit up at night is just as fun. In its third year, the Balloon Fest has added more balloons and events into the fest, and they hope to continue to add balloons and more entertainment into the next events. Pilots and enthusiasts come from all over the Midwest to watch and fly hot air balloons over Iowa's largest lake, the only balloon fest in Iowa like it.
"It helps the economy and brings money into the towns," Kissinger commented.
It will be interesting to see what more they come up with for next year's event, and seeing more balloons scatter across the sky.

Dueling Bloggers: Draft Debate (Part 1)
by, 05-24-2012 at 12:08 PM (1244 Views)
As you probably know, the MLB Draft will be taking place in just a little over a week. There is a lot of draft-related material scattered all over this very website. Among them are a handful of Draft Previews that I've written. Recently, there was a lengthy thread started by "cmb0252" which is all about the draft.
What follows is a tag team effort between myself and "cmb0252" (I'm not sure if he's ready to introduce himself to the world yet), which took place over the last couple of days.
Jeremy Nygaard: The assumption right or wrong is that the Astros take Mark Appel first overall. That doesnt affect my board at all. I have Byron Buxton solidly at #1. I know there are knocks on him and the perception that outfield is the deepest position in the system but, as the organizational philosophy goes: hes the best player available. No one, besides Miguel Sano (and maybe not even Sano), has the upside that this guy has.
cmb0252: If we are going by the assumption that the Astros take Mark Appel with the first overall pick, that also doesn't affect my board.
As Keith Law put it, "he could easily end up the best player out of this draft, given his youth and upside at the plate." No, he wasn't talking about Buxton, but Carlos Correa. Correa just turned 17, a year and a half younger than Buxton, and is considered to have the best high school bat in the draft. Where Buxton might have the defensive edge profiling as a plus plus up the middle player and while most feel Correa will outgrow SS he still profiles as a plus defensive 3B. Younger, better bat, huge upside, AND is at a position we actually need. Twins actually haven't been linked to Correa so for arguments sake I will bring up a name they have: Gausman. (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Twins were linked to Correa last night.)
Once again quoting Keith Law, "Gausman is flashing two plus secondary pitches now and getting ground balls and has the velocity to match the other guys, not to mention better results as a sophomore in the nation's best conference. "While Gausman profiles as a #2, which would still put him in the top 40-50 pitchers in baseball, he does have a ceiling of a number one. I guess my question to my counterpart would be, why does a 18+ year old HS kid have a better chance to hit his ceiling than a 21 year old college kid? In the end they both have high ceilings but one also has a high floor.
JN: If the Twins decide to go college pitcher, I really hope it is Gausman. I also think there is better chance that Gausman reaches his ceiling than Buxton. Buxtons ceiling, though, is higher. The moment he signs hes going to be a top-25 prospect in all of baseball. The same cant be said for any of the college pitchers, in my opinion. While the Twins havent gotten a lot of opportunities to draft the top-of-the-line starters, they also havent had the chance to draft very many middle-of-the-order, middle-of-the-defense-type players either. Were talking Justin Upton/Matt Kemp comps. Thats league MVP comparables. But thats ceiling again and far from a slam-dunk.
With all that being said, I wouldnt fault the Twins for drafting Buxton, Gausman or Correa. Chances are one of those guys is going to sign for $3.5 million as the #5 pick, a much better value than the $6.2 million that the #2 pick is worth. Long story short, I dont think there is a $2.7 million difference in those three guys, and a case can be made that any of the three are the best.
JN: Im curious to see what happens with Mitch Brown. Being local, hes as cant-miss as weve seen since Mauer. My philosophy going in would be to let him know that we have him evaluated as a sandwich round prospect, tell him we really want him and offer him a little over sandwich-round average ($1.2 million) as the 32nd pick. I hope that buys him out of his commitment and the team can bank $350,000 savings.
CB: For Twins fans who follow the draft outside of who the Twins are taking at #2 the hottest topic is Mitch Brown. For those of you that haven't heard of Brown "the best draft prospect out of Minnesota in 2012" here is MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo's take on him:
"While not the biggest guy in the world, he is strong and durably built. He also has a good idea of what hes doing on the mound. The right-hander can run his fastball up to 94 mph. He can spin a breaking ball pretty well, throws a good cutter and even shows a feel for the changeup. That gives him the chance to have four Major League average or well above offerings in the future."
Mayo has him at 66, Law has him at 45, and BA has him at 44. While I wont argue that we shouldn't target Brown- we need all the pitching we can get- I'm going to suggest it would be better to roll the dice and hope he is there at pick #42. There should still be premium talent around at #32, we need as much premium talent as we can get, and we cant waste that pick on sentiment.
Obviously we wont know who will be there at #32 on draft day but looking at mocks there are is a good chance a player like Zach Elfin, Matt Smoral, Corey Seager, or Stryker Trahan could be waiting for us.
JN: The industry sentiment is that teams are going to take guys they like early, pay them less than slot value and see what falls to them later, knowing they would be able to pay those guys more than slot value. I would argue that unless there is a guy the Twins like more (that has similar demands), they should absolutely draft Brown at #32.
As you mentioned, Baseball America, who I trust more than the others, rates Brown 44, which is probably close to where Id rank him on talent alone. But dont forget to account for the guys that are rated higher that will drop because of their demands. If some of those guys are there at #32, Id rather risk letting them slide to #42, knowing that Ive at least gotten the guy I want (Brown) at #32. It would also be easier to stomach from a pure financial standpoint letting a lower draft pick go unsigned, as that money is removed from the spending pool.
JN: With the rules around bonuses changing, Ive spent so much time wondering how the Twins squeeze every last penny out of their $12,368,200 bonus pool to make this draft as productive as possible. At the end of the day, though, I have a hard time believing the cost-effective team even spends $11 million.
CB: I agree that there is a very slim chance the Twins use their whole $12,368,200 bonus pool but I wouldn't be surprised if they broke $11M. The Twins spent $5.9M on 2011 draft which was actually over the recommended amount last year. Where that sounds like a small number compared to this year you have to take into account that the #2 pick, $6.2M bonus, has a higher recommended bonus than our whole draft last year. Also, the 30th overall pick Levi Michael signed for $1.175M last year which is actually less money than the recommended signing bonus for the #32 pick this year. Not only do the Twins have the chance, money, and picks to bring a lot of talent into our minor league system, they have the need.
JN: Youre right, obviously the $6.2 million figure skews the data. Looking at their signing history, though, the Twins and every other team, presumably are going to bank savings on college seniors: Adam Bryant signed for $25,000 last year (this years value: $125,600), Matt Hauser ($45,000 vs $141,700) and Kyle Knudson ($25,000 vs $129,300) in 2010. Heck, even Brian Dozier ($30,000 vs $139,500) was a great value pick. Yes, this could give them the chance to sign some later-drafted guys to bigger deals, but I just have a feeling: When all is said and done, the Twins will have shaved a lot of money off their full allotment.
JN: Im going to dream a little bit. Pie-in-the-sky hope here: Buxton and Brown go #2 and #32. The team knows their demands and will have around $2 million to spend on #42. Keeping with the pie-in-the-sky theory, I really hope that a high-school pitcher with high demands, like a Matt Smoral, Zach Eflin, J.O. Berrios or Hunter Virant, can be convinced to take a couple million - that other teams won't be able to offer - to join the Twins.
CB: Where we differ at who we prefer the Twins to take at #2, Buxton vs Correa/Gausman, we have pretty much the same names at #32/42.....just different order. If you are asking me my realistic "dream" draft? Gausman at #2, Elfin at #32, and Brown at #42 would work for me. Three guys that profile as mid to top of the rotation starters who have a chance to be more. Sounds exactly like what the doctor ordered to fix our woe minor league pitching staffs.
In the end though I would be happy with a draft of one of Buxton/Correa/Guasman, Brown, and one of Virant/Smoral/Eflin/Seager.
JN: I would be ecstatic if Seager fell out of the first round and the Twins were able to draft him and get him signed. If hes fallen that far, though, I have to believe that no one was able to meet his demands and that would be enough to scare the Twins off too. If the Twins get two high-ceiling pitchers out of the first three picks, Id end Day 1 of the draft a pretty happy Twins fan.
Part 2: COMING SOON!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Internal Revenue Service says 660,000 taxpayers will have their refunds delayed by up to six weeks because of a problem with the software they used to file their tax returns.
The delay affects people claiming education tax credits who filed returns between Feb. 14 and Feb. 22.
H&R Block, the tax preparing giant, says that some of its customers were affected but the company has resolved the problem. A limited number of other software companies have also had problems, but IRS spokeswoman Michelle Eldridge declined to name them.
About 6.6 million taxpayers are expected to claim the education tax credits. The IRS says about 10 percent of their returns are affected.

A "town hall" style meeting is set for tonight at the Port Chester Senior Center to provide answers to local residents on Port Chester's amnesty program designed to help property owners clear up building violations and related problems.
The amnesty, which began Oct. 1, runs until Dec. 31, when the last applications for the program will be accepted by Port Chester. Tonight's question-and-answer session on the program is set for 7 p.m. at the senior center, 222 Grace Church St., behind Village Hall.
Under the amnesty program, property owners will not be required to pay the normal fines associated with violations of local and state building laws. However, to be eligible for the amnesty, property owners must file applications and pay connected fees by the Dec. 31 deadline.
Those who enter the amnesty program benefit from:
- No fines
- No penalties
- Waived or reduced fees

Whether you're partying in the big city or staying closer to home New Year's Eve, BART will be helping revelers get around safely with an extended schedule and longer trains on Dec. 31.
The additional trains will run to and from San Francisco until 3 a.m., according to BART, with the intention of making room for the large crowds expected at Embarcadero and Montgomery Street for the fireworks show in downtown San Francisco.
As an additional crowd-easing measure, trains after 8 p.m. on the Pittsburg/Bay Point and Richmond lines heading into San Francisco will not stop at Embarcadero Station, so the closest stop to the fireworks will be Montgomery Street. Trains on the Dublin/Pleasanton and Fremont lines will stop at Embarcadero Station but not at Montgomery Street, and trains from Millbrae and Daly City will make all stops in San Francisco.
Following the firework show, passengers boarding trains bound for Pittsburg/Bay Point and Richmond will need to use Montgomery Street Station, BART advises, as the trains will not stop at Embarcadero Station on their way out of San Francisco. Passengers boarding trains on the Dublin/ Pleasanton and Fremont lines must use Embarcadero Station, as there will be no stop at Montgomery Street. Millbrae and Daly City-bound trains will make all stops, but BART recommends passengers on those lines use Montgomery Street Station.
BART has planned additional event trains to carry riders home during the busiest time when the fireworks end.
Stay Informed
For service information on New Year's Eve, including special event trains, check out real time departures on your mobile using BART's mobile site (http://m.bart.gov) or text "BART go" to 878787. You can also download the special New Year's BART schedule. To keep your ride on BART running safe and smoothly, check out BART's New Year's Eve tips.
Sunday Service on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day, Tuesday, Jan., 1, BART will operate on a Holiday/Sunday timetable with service beginning at 8 a.m.

McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange delivers a cohesive framework where security products collectively pinpoint threats and act as a unified threat defense system providing security resilience and immunity to infections. Threat Intelligence Exchange significantly optimizes threat prevention by narrowing the gap from encounter to containment from days, weeks, and months down to milliseconds.
Apply the power of knowledge — Threat Intelligence Exchange makes it possible for administrators to easily tailor comprehensive threat intelligence from multiple intelligence data sources. This customization empowers administrators to assemble, override, and tune the intelligence source information so that they can modify protection for their environment and organization.
Orchestrate in real time — Threat Intelligence Exchange is the first solution to use the McAfee data exchange layer, a bidirectional communications fabric enabling security intelligence, and adaptive security through product integration simplicity and context sharing. The data exchange layer supports the automatic configuration of products, reducing errors and eliminating effort to lower implementation and operational costs of integration.
Supercharge existing endpoint protection — Threat Intelligence Exchange provides breakthrough endpoint protection, using McAfee VirusScan Enterprise to make accurate file execution decisions. Endpoints will also be protected based on malware detected by network gateways, while network gateways block access based on endpoint convictions.
McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange makes it possible for administrators to easily tailor comprehensive threat intelligence from global data sources, such as McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) and third-party feeds, with local threat intelligence sourced from real-time and historical event data coming from endpoints, gateways, and other security components.
The McAfee data exchange layer enables security components to dynamically join the McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange. Shared insights bring deeper awareness of the threats targeting an organization. Attacks are discovered through the endpoints, gateways, and other security components united in providing real-time surveillance.
Threat details collected from malware encounters at endpoints and network gateways can propagate through the data exchange layer in milliseconds, educating all security components to proactively immunize against newly detected threats.
While increasing security resiliency, security cost of ownership is lowered by extending existing McAfee security detection, prevention, and analytic technology investments to proactively and efficiently protect your organization as soon as a threat is revealed.

The Bensalem Township School District issued a letter (attached to this story as a PDF document) to parents Friday regarding the potential impact of Hurricane Sandy to the area next week.
According to the letter, the district's Emergency Preparedness Team of Administrators and the Bensalem Township Police Department will be maintaining a careful watch of the weather this weekend and into the early part of next week.
"Many factors go into making any decision to close schools and the impact of closing on our families," said Superintendent David Baugh. "We wanted to communicate to parents that (Public Safety) Director Harran has expressed the potential of an early dismissal on Monday and/or delayed opening or closing on Tuesday if the storm impacts our immediate area."
In the event of an early dismissal or school closure, the District will make every effort to communicate by every means possible:
- Its website at www.bensalemsd.org
- District TV on Comcast Cable 28 or Verizon FiOS Channel 32
- TV news reports on CBS 3, ABC 6, NBC 10 and Fox 29.
- Radio reports on WBCB 1490 AM and KYW 1060 AM
"The Bensalem Township School District works closely with Township and County officials as well as the American Red Cross to provide shelter in the event that a portion of the community needs to be evacuated during an emergency," Baught noted. "We hope all our families will be safe during this upcoming storm and find comfort in the fact that if the need arises, we will be there to support you."

STOCKHOLM, May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
OxThera AB announced today that it has been granted two new US patents and one new Australian patent during the last year. OxThera holds proprietary rights to pharmaceutical preparations and their use for treatment of hyperoxaluria in eight patent families. The newly granted US patents have numbers 8,486,389 and 8,545,836. The new Australian patent has number 2006326016.
"These patents will secure the pharmaceutical composition and the method for treating and preventing oxalate-related disease with micro-organisms and enzymes and further strengthen the Company's patent estate and worldwide rights for the treatment of hyperoxaluria. The US rights are important additions to our already granted patents in Europe and the US. Additionally, our lead product Oxabact® is currently in a phase 2 trial and results of this clinical study are expected to be available this autumn," said Elisabeth Lindner, CEO of OxThera.
Oxabact® is an oral product composed of highly concentrated live bacteria (Oxalobacter formigenes). The drug is designed for delivery in the small intestine, where enteric elimination of endogenous oxalate is initiated. OxThera is currently pursuing a complete Oxabact® clinical development program in the EU and in the US for the treatment of patients suffering from Primary Hyperoxaluria.
Oxazyme® is an oral enzyme administered as an enterically-coated granulate. The product is designed to break down dietary oxalate in the upper GI tract. The product is developed to treat hyperoxaluria and kidney stones caused by excess intake of dietary oxalate.
About Primary Hyperoxaluria
Primary Hyperoxaluria is a rare inborn autosomal genetic disorder leading to markedly elevated levels of endogenous oxalate in plasma and urine. High levels of urinary oxalate cause kidney damage, including recurrent kidney stone formation and/or calcification of the kidney.
About Secondary Hyperoxaluria
Secondary Hyperoxaluria is resulting from excess intake or malabsorption of oxalate. The prevalence is increasing dramatically in US, Europe and Asia, and the disorder may cause recurrent kidney stones. An estimated four million people only in the U.S. suffer from kidney stone disease.
Oxabact® holds orphan drug designations in the EU and the US for the treatment of Primary Hyperoxaluria.
About OxThera OxThera holds worldwide rights for compositions and methods of use for treatment of hyperoxaluria. OxThera currently has two products in its pipeline: Oxabact® for the treatment of Primary Hyperoxaluria, and Oxazyme®, for the prevention of oxalate malabsorption and recurring kidney stones in Secondary Hyperoxaluria. OxThera operates through the head office in Stockholm, Sweden, and its subsidiary OxThera Inc. in Alachua, Florida, USA.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Stock-exchange operator BATS Global Markets Inc. said Wednesday that a "systems issue" caused improper pricing for short sales, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The problem affected more than 436,000 trades, dating back as early as October 2008, and the issue won't likely be resolved until later this month, the report said.

Updated (2012-04-11): Now contains the final and correct pip install command.
pip install django-money will give you a working set of Django fields that handle Money and Currency. Read below for how that happened.
I began this Easter weekend trying to finish up one of my pet-projects and get it ready to publish. The goal of the website is to compare providers, of the same thing, from around the world.
Representing prices is simple. A float will do if you are in a hurry.
When you need to perform calculations and you run into rounding errors. At that point you will likely discover the Decimal module.
Which also works perfectly fine. And if you only ever deal in a single market that is fine.
But across markets? That requires Money. Money is normally defined as a value and currency. Once you have both of those, you can then do cross-market comparison – and upgrade you program to handle multi-currency – easily.
I hoped that I was not the only person who had realised this, so I started to look around.
And I struck gold! I found Python Money. It even included appropriate Django fields as well.
Unfortunately it had had no updates since 2008. ☹. Worse it didn't work so well. I continued my search.
I kept on looking and found Django Money. Even better. This separated out the Django support and the Python support.
It turned out Jakewin's py-moneyed was actually a fork of Limist's py-moneyed.
So I set about retrieving every fork and comparing them.
It turns out that Jakewin's version was good, just out-of-date. It mentioned waiting until a pull request has been merged in to limist's version.
Which had been done a while ago. And Jakewin's Django-money (djmoney) was nicely done too, unittests and all. It had just bitrotted compared to newer versions of Django (and South).
I discovered there were a set of forks of django-money at github too. I analysed them all, and basically only jakewins's and reinbach's mattered.
I created fixes for jakewins and reinbach's version.
I also opened up on an issue asking limist's to tag and upload a new version of py-moneyed.
I also got a response from limist and now you can do
pip install py-moneyed and get a useful, working, version.
And reinbach also responded and now you can do
pip install django-money and get a working, usable, representation of Money within Django.
It turned out to be a productive, if yak-shaving, weekend after all.
