Two years ago I was working as VP of R&D for a large telemarketing company. My job involved building and managing very large databases, primarily for the purpose of target marketing. We were spending an arm and a leg on software licenses in the R&D shop and another arm and leg on additional software elsewhere in the company. Although we did some things well, our expensive software was still not providing managers with the information necessary to make sound business decisions. For example, we were too late with information on profitable and nonprofitable campaigns, and we never did have good data on cash flow. I left that company after our R&D office was closed, disappointed that some good work went down the drain. I was also frustrated by the lack of software solutions for the company's basic business problems—and with just a hint of understanding of the board's unhappiness with how much our software licenses were costing.
After a few months of private consulting in database design, I was invited to a job interview by the CEO of a medium-sized manufacturing company named Action Target. (Action Target is in the business of manufacturing and installing target equipment and shooting ranges.) I was shocked at what I discovered. The CEO (an electrical engineer with an entrepreneurial bent) had the whole place running on Linux. Every single user, from sales, shipping and purchasing to production, engineering and accounting, worked on a Linux workstation, most of which were diskless. These workstations were served from a group of servers, which included a web server, a database server and collection of application servers. The application servers hosted all home directories in addition to the applications. The applications were mostly of the open-source or free variety, such as StarOffice, Netscape and TGIF, but also included a few proprietary applications, like Applix. The database server hosted PostgreSQL. Networking was accomplished via NFS between the servers, and the diskless machines were networked via bootp to the application servers.
What I discovered next shocked me even more. Not only was the whole place running Linux, but the CEO had written his own ERP (enterprise resource planning) application. He told me that he had investigated several other solutions, but they were all expensive, ran on expensive and proprietary RDBMSes and, most importantly, did not permit full customization. Therefore, he explained, he decided to write his own. The front-end tool he chose was Wylib, which he had coded. Wylib is a group of libraries written using Tcl/Tk. Tcl/Tk is easy to use, platform-independent, can act as a shell and belongs to and is widely accepted in the Open Source community. For the back-end RDBMS, he selected PostgreSQL.
This customized ERP system runs the company. Employees use the system because they can't do their jobs without it. The ERP is based on open-source software and is fully customizable. In order words, if we're not happy with it, we change it. Management estimates that this system has saved the company over $1 million (US) in operation expenses, not to mention the huge savings in software licensing.
After working at this company for a year, recoding the ERP using Wylib and restructuring the database, I've been spun off into my own company, WyattERP. WyattERP's mission is twofold: 1) to show companies how to save money by using open-source software and 2) to show companies how to create an ERP solution using Wylib that is inexpensive and completely suited to the needs of the business.
Wylib and the sample code can be downloaded from the web site, www.wyatt-erp.com. Wylib is open source and distributed under the OPL (Open Public License) agreement. I can be contacted via e-mail through the web site.

It's no news that Linux is finding a home in everything "from household appliances and consumer electronics gadgets to controllers used in aviation, factories and automobiles—application-specific devices", as Evans Data Corporation (www.evansdata.com) reports. But it is news to discover how high the Linux embedding rate appears to be among those many devices.
In its "Embedded Systems Developer Survey", Evans Data reports what it calls "a dramatic change in the software content of the microprocessor-controlled devices in the workplace and in our homes". As a result, the firm predicts a triple increase in Linux-based projects over the next year, which it says is "part of a shift toward commercially available operating systems rather than those developed in-house."
Tools are an issue. Without giving numbers, the study showed "keen interest in tools and products that can help developers get their projects completed correctly and on time". Two-thirds of the surveyed developers said many embedded projects are started and never completed, and many more are delivered late.
What is it that developers like about Linux? Just what you'd expect: "Open-source code, royalty-free licensing and a large community of knowledgeable developers were cited as Linux's key benefits." On the down side, Evans Data reports, "Factors slowing Linux adoption include lack of specific board support packages, availability of device drivers and fragmentation of the code base."

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Liberty Aerospace, Inc. was formed in the year 2000, and an amazing team of engineers and designers were gathered to create an aircraft to meet the following requirements:
The Liberty XL2 departed on its maiden voyage on April 2, 2001. The next four years were dedicated to extensive development and countless testing.
On February 19, 2004 the FAA awarded Liberty with Part 23 Type Certification for the single-engine Liberty XL2. It was the first two-place aircraft to be awarded certification in over 30 years and the first piston-engine aircraft to be certified with a true Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) system.
In October of 2004, Kuwait Finance House - Bahrain, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuwait Finance House and a leading provider of commercial and investment banking services, acquired a 75% stake in Liberty. This resulting financial alliance with this $11 billion firm has allowed Liberty to focus solely on delivering the XL2 aircraft to the international marketplace with strength and confidence.
Type Inspection Authorization from the FAA for Instrument Flight Rules operation was awarded on June 22, 2005. This positioned the XL2 to enter the final phase of testing for FAA certification.
On May 1, 2006 Liberty Aerospace was presented with a Production Certificate for the Liberty XL2 from the FAA.
In 2007, Liberty signed a historic contract with Anyang Angel Aero in Beijing, Peoples Republic of China to produce 600 Liberty XL-2 aircraft under license. A facility is currently under construction in China.
On February 27th, 2008, the 100th Liberty XL-2 was delivered. In April 2008, the Vanguard Edition XL-2 was introduced, with increased gross weight, a 420 lb. useful load with full fuel, and toe, rather than finger brakes. All aircraft after serial #120 will be Vanguard Edition aircraft.
While the next chapter in the history of Liberty Aerospace is yet to be written, we will continue to provide advanced technology. As the first FADEC equipped piston aircraft, our already low fuel burn is optimized for conditions more than 20 times per second, resulting in the lowest carbon emissions of any aircraft in it's class. We are proud to be a leader in the movement to lower the footprint of aviation on our environment.

The Susquehanna University Artist Series will present "Song of the Phoenix" by the renowned Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company March 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the Degenstein Center Theater.
"Song of the Phoenix" features original and unique choreography by Nai-Ni Chen, whose repertoire seamlessly blends ancient rituals and modern concepts. Audience members will be treated to the majestic thunder of martial arts and the rhythm of poetry as dancers glide across the stage with color, intensity and a whisper of Chinese tradition.
"This is a rare opportunity to see live the work of an outstanding New York dance company that is famous for its technical accuracy and unique blend of American modern dance and Asian aesthetics of movement," said Marcos Krieger, assistant professor of music at Susquehanna University. "Viewers should watch for surprising patterns of symmetry and balance that are [largely] unknown in the western way of thinking."
The phoenix, a symbol showcased throughout the entirety of the performance, is known in both eastern and western cultures as a creature of strength and majesty. Through movement and unique dance technique, the awe-inspiring bird will come to life before the audience's eyes.
"This bird, a mythical creature, is present in both eastern and western cultures as a force of life, either because of its ability to revive itself from its own ashes or, in more eastern understanding, because of its connection with the mysteries of feminine power and procreation," said Krieger. "'The Song of the Phoenix' is described as a re-creation of movements, blending poetry and war, beauty and power, external movements of the body and internal movements of the soul."
Tickets are available at the Susquehanna University box office, located in the Degenstein Center Theater lobby, or by calling 372-ARTS. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for senior citizens and $5 for non-SU students.

Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was very clean. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect getaway in Puerto Morelos. The staff at Abbey del Sol is very helpful. The property is well maintained and quiet. Great restaurants and fantastic snorkeling
My wife and I rented this apartment for a week's stay for our 10 year wedding anniversary. First of all, the owners of the property were very easy to talk to as they responded quickly with every question I had through email. They helped arrange door to door taxi service and greeted us at the front desk. it's right off the hotel lobby so you're always steps away from WiFi (we used that everyday to talk to our children). The restaurant is one of the best on the island. We had the seafood sampler which has shrimp, octopus, scallops and crispy white fish along with a ginger sauce. I would recommend it! Truly one of the best beaches on the island. You'll notice that snorkeling excursions pay to come to this beach. As for the room, It's a perfect place to relax and unwind from a long day of sight seeing or a long night of mojitos. The kitchen was a perfect size. Large fridge, cook top stove, all the utensils you would need. The patio off the living room is great. Secluded with flowers and foliage everywhere. You'll see little anoles. The staff was wonderful. Clean, quite place to rest our heads. The air conditioning works great. We'd recommend this place to anyone.
Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Je suis vraiment satisfaite d'avoir fait confiance au site HomeAway pour le choix des logements disponible. La description faite des lieux correspondait exactement à ce que j'avais. Le personnel toujours disponible à répondre à nos besoins. Mes vacances furent réussit.

Four and a half years after releasing his last album, 1987's Tunnel of Love, Bruce Springsteen is returning to action with not one but two albums of new songs. The albums, Human Touch and Lucky Town, will be released simultaneously in the early spring. It is expected that a world tour – Springsteen's first since he disbanded the E Street Band – will start in the U.S. by the summer.
Unlike Guns n' Roses' Use Your Illusion I and II, which were basically two halves of a double album, the Springsteen discs are said to be distinctly separate albums, each with its own character and sound. One source who has heard the LPs described them as "different in sound – but both are rock albums." Thematically, they are said to be related in much the same way that Born in the U.S.A. was related to Nebraska. "Both have reflective material and potential singles," said another source. "What really differentiates them is the point of view of the writing, the perspective Bruce brings to the material."
Readers' Poll: Ten Favorite Bruce Springsteen Albums
Human Touch includes fourteen songs recorded at a number of Los Angeles studios, including A&M Studios, in Hollywood. It was produced by Springsteen, manager Jon Landau, Chuck Plotkin and former E Street Band member Roy Bittan. In addition to "Real World," "Soul Driver" and "57 Channels" – all of which Springsteen performed at two 1990 benefits for the Christic Institute at the Shrine Auditorium, in Los Angeles – the album includes "Cross My Heart," "Gloria's Eyes," "With Every Wish," "Roll of the Dice," "All or Nothin' at All," "Man's Job," "I Wish I Were Blind," "Long Goodbye," "Real Man," "Pony Boy" and the title track.
Lucky Town, produced by Springsteen with additional production assistance by Landau, Plotkin and Bittan, is made up of ten songs: "Better Days," "Local Hero," "If I Should Fall Behind," "Leap of Faith," "Big Muddy," "Living Proof," "Book of Dreams," "Souls of the Departed," "My Beautiful Reward" and the title track.
With the exception of "Roll of the Dice" and "Real World," which Springsteen wrote with Bittan, all of the songs were written solely by Springsteen.
The Rolling Stone Interview: Bruce Springsteen Leaves E Street
Springsteen apparently settled on the musicians for his first post-E Street Band efforts quite painlessly. He initially worked with session drummer Jeff Porcaro on a version of "Viva Las Vegas" that appeared on the Elvis Presley tribute album The Last Temptation of Elvis; things "clicked," according to a source, and Springsteen brought Porcaro back for the Human Touch sessions.
In addition to Porcaro, Springsteen used bassist Randy Jackson and keyboardist Bittan as the core band on Human Touch. Another former E Street Band member, David Sancious, plays some keyboards on the album, and Mark Isham plays trumpet. Springsteen's wife, Patti Scialfa, contributes vocals, as do Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers, Sam Moore of Sam and Dave and Bobby King, who's best known for his work with Ry Cooder.

The Dalton High School athletic department will have to invest more in fuel after being placed in a region which travels south down I-75 and stretches westward towards the Alabama state line.
The Georgia High School Association's reclassification committee announced the region assignments for the 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years Tuesday, but with the exception of the Dalton's jump to Class 5A, area programs seemingly fared well in regards to travel and rivalry considerations.
Northwest Whitfield and Southeast Whitfield remain in Region 7-4A, which loses Dalton, Cass, Cedartown and River Ridge but adds Cartersville for an eight-team region. Current Region 7 members Gilmer, Heritage-Catoosa, LaFayette, Pickens and Ridgeland remain in the region as well.
In Class 3A, Coahulla Creek, Murray County and North Murray are in Region 6 with Calhoun, Gordon Central, Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe, Ringgold and Sonoraville. Christian Heritage remains in Region 6-A, which remained largely intact but added Morris Innovative, which drops in classification from 2A after this school year.
Dalton's Region 5-5A includes nine other schools. The region is sub-divided with Dalton in Sub-region 5A with Rome, Cobb County's Allatoona and Bartow County's Cass and Woodland. Sub-region 5B is tightly packed with East Paulding, Paulding County, South Paulding, Hiram (another school inside Paulding County) and Villa Rica (which straddles Carroll and Douglas counties) all within a 23-mile radius of each other.
Dalton's closest region competitor is Cass, which is 43 miles away, according to Google Maps. The trip for the Catamounts is 45 miles to Rome, 58 miles to Woodland and 60 miles to Allatoona.
"We will play anybody, anywhere, anytime," Dalton football coach Matt Land. "We have been in this region before and were successful. It is a different animal, but it is the same game.
"We have 1,600 kids in our school and about 300 of them play athletics. In my mind, we have always played up."
Since the GHSA has already subdivided the region, the by-laws of the organization specify that two-thirds of the principals of the region schools would have to vote to play a full region schedule.
Sub-divided regions will play crossover games during the regular season to fill 70 percent of the schedule in football, meaning Dalton would have three non-region games.
In all other sports, region competition only has to fill 50 percent of the region schedule.
"It is a lot better than expected, but it isn't set in stone yet," Dalton athletic director Jeff McKinney said. "There was always the fear that we would have the huge region like Region 6 (17 teams). The way that it is drawn now, we have 10 teams, and we are already divided and I am excited about it. I like the idea of being sub-divided because it cuts down on our travel and allows us to play more of the local teams."
The local teams in Region 6-3A may have gotten the best of this round of classification from a travel and scheduling standpoint. All of the teams in the region are either in Whitfield County or in a county bordering Whitfield.
"Awesome. That is my reaction," North Murray athletic director Roger Rainey said. "I am definitely excited about it. I was anticipating a little more travel in there, because Adairsville, Cedartown, Pepperell and Rockmart were teams that were sort of in the middle, and you are never really sure where they will end up.
Those four schools ended up in a new Region 5 which stretches southward to Columbus and is sub-divided among eight teams.
"I think it is a good spot for us," Coahulla Creek athletic director Rhett Parrott said. "There are a lot of good schools, and I like the region the way it fell out."
In the new Region 6-3A, football teams will play a seven-game region schedule, with three non-region games to be scheduled. Rainey said the possibilities for non-region competition with local schools such as Dalton, Northwest and Southeast, along with their region foes, is something he looks forward to.
"We are pleased with it. Adding Murray County and Calhoun to our region will greatly help with game revenue and the atmosphere of all sporting events," Rainey said. "Financially, the more rival games you have, it creates a better atmosphere and a better gate. With some of these teams like Calhoun, those are games where people remember those schools that they played against in years past. You can throw in some more local flavor and that is always a good thing."
But don't pencil in a Whitfield County Schools championship game in just yet. Parrott said that while Coahulla Creek competes against Northwest and Southeast regularly in other sports, a schedule with all three schools playing each other on the gridiron may not happen as soon as some would like. Coahulla Creek is presently in the process of hiring a new head coach for football after Jared Hamlin — the only football coach in the school's three-year history — was fired in November.
"Right now, with us making a coaching decision in the near future, that is something we would prefer to wait on to gauge the feelings of the new coach," Parrott said.
Southeast football coach Sean Gray said this round of reclassification was exactly what he hoped for, with the Raiders headed into an eight-team region. With football teams playing a straight region schedule, Gray said it will be easier to know who the top four teams in the region are for the playoffs.
"You gain Cartersville but you lose Dalton, but I like a smaller region with no sub-region and everyone will get to play everyone to decide your top four," Gray said. "I didn't like the way the sub-region thing worked out the past two years, because we had to play the top two teams on the other side — Cedartown and Gilmer — as our crossovers, and some people drew the bottom teams. I would rather you play everyone if you can in a straight region schedule."
Northwest girls basketball head coach Greg Brown, who is also a football assistant, said while he knows the school will still be able to schedule Dalton in most sports, it will take a little away from the contests because the two teams are in different classes after spending this year and last year in the same region.
"Hopefully we will still get to play that game, but I hate it locally for us because it just isn't the same when we are not in the same region," Brown said. "It is still a good game and people will show up, but there is a little bit more to it when a playoff spot is on the line. Travel will still be good for us, which will help economically. Picking up Cartersville is a little bit of a drive, but they are good in several things."
Region assignments are based on reclassification numbers that were released by the GHSA in November. The GHSA goes through reclassifications based on student enrollment numbers every two years and members schools are divided into six classifications.
Schools have until Dec. 14 to appeal their placement in a region, and the entire GHSA executive committee will vote on the final region alignments on Jan. 14, 2014.

Gravity remained at #1 on this week's box office chart. It took in just over 30 million in it's third week, for U.S. total of 170 million combining it with 114 million overseas for a total of 284 on a budget of 110 million. And it hasn't even been out for a whole month yet!! Captain Phillips barely edged out Carrie for the #2 spot, both taking in just over 16 million. The budget for Carrie is 30 million so in just one weekend, it's made back half of the production budget. No international numbers for Carrie yet, not sure if this is the type of movie that will do well overseas. Sly and Ahnold's "Escape Plan" opened at #4 with almost nine million in revenue, but on a 50 million budget, things aren't looking good. International box office will probably save it though. The Fifth Estate was silenced at the box office, debuting at #8 with less than 2 million in revenue, with less than $1,000 per theatre average. With a budget of 28 million, this one looks to be a pretty big loser at the box office. (28 million budget??? ) The only other thing that stands out to me on this week's chart is the debut of 12 Years A Slave at #16 in only 19 theatres....where it took in $48,617 per theatre! HUMONGOUS!! The next closest per theatre average in the top twenty is Gravity at $7,861.
Very few new releases this week. I'll definitely be watching "The Square". "Spinning Plates" looks like a well-made movie, but probably not my thing. Thanks to Brian for being the only person who read my previous weekly box office/new release post.

The Walking Dead Episode 314
Written By: Evan Reilly
Directed By: Stefan Schwartz
Original Airdate: 17 March 2013
In This Episode...
Woodbury is planning for war. The Governor has given various decrees, including that Martinez collect all weapons and ammo, even personal weapons; and that no one is to leave Woodbury. Andrea is concerned, so Milton shows her something he just discovered: the Governor's "workshop" - or what most people would recognize as a torture chamber. A dental chair sat in the center of the room, equipped with handcuffs, and a table laid out with all manner of instruments that are clearly meant to frighten and inflict pain. Andrea is shocked by this. The Governor enters, and the pair freeze. They are spying from the top of the room, a closed-off loft with a large vent. Andrea levels her gun at the Governor, but Milton makes her withdraw it. Later on, in private, Milton insists that killing the Governor won't solve anything: Martinez will rise to take his place, and someone after that, and someone after that.
Andrea is determined to leave. After Martinez strips her of her firearm and ammo, she goes to the back gate and tries to lure Tyreese and Sasha off of guard duty. They don't believe that Martinez is looking for them, so Andrea drops the ruse, climbs the wall, and lets her intent to escape be known. Tyreese is under strict instructions not to let anyone leave, but when Andrea pulls a knife, he knows she means business. As soon as she is over the wall, she runs. Tyreese and Sasha tattle to the Governor that Andrea escaped, and he is enraged. He leaves the rest of the preparations to Martinez and he goes out to get Andrea. Alone.
Tyreese is beginning to have his doubts about Woodbury. The fear in Andrea's eyes, the conviction with which she left, the idea that she would rather take her chances with the walkers than with the Governor planted seeds of doubt in Tyreese. Alex doesn't want Tyreese to make waves for fear that it will get them all kicked out. Apparently the friendship between the two is already tenuous because after Tyreese happened to save Donna's life, she hung on to him rather than Alex. Anyway, they join Martinez on a trip out of the compound. He takes them to a huge pit in the ground that is filled with walkers. Martinez and his men start hoisting them out of the pen and loading them into livestock trailers. Martinez explains that they use every tool in their arsenal; Tyreese is shocked and refuses to set zombies on Rick's kids. Alex warns him about making waves, and the two tussle, with Tyreese threatening to throw Alex into the walker pit.
Meanwhile, Andrea is trying to run through the woods in order to avoid the Governor, who is coming after her in a truck. She is set upon by three walkers and she takes them all out with relative ease - they are way less scary than the Governor. Andrea comes to a vast clearing and takes a deep breath before running through - it is completely devoid of cover. She hears the Governor's truck and hits the dirt, but it is too late. He has seen her and is driving towards her. She begins to run again, making a mad dash for the cover of trees. She makes it, though barely.
As night comes, Andrea takes shelter in a school or factory or slaughterhouse or something. The Governor is not far behind, and the two engage in a cat-and-mouse chase through the dark, weathered interior. It is a sequence that could easily have been pulled from any of your better torture-porn flicks. The Governor closes in, and Andrea can either face him or run down a hall that is wall-to-wall walkers. She chooses option B, but thanks to some quick thinking and an optical illusion, Andrea lets all the walkers out into the room while she escapes down the hall. She walks calmly out the open door as she hears the Governor shooting wildly at dozens of zombies... then run out of ammo and be forced to kill them old skool.
Andrea survives the night, and is treated to a welcome sight: the prison. She approaches slowly, waving her arms so as not to be mistaken as the enemy. Rick is standing watch. As Andrea approaches, seemingly out of nowhere, the Governor springs up out of the brush and tackles her to the ground. Rick thinks he sees something, but after a careful scan of the horizon through his rifle sight, he chalks it up to another grief-hallucination and doesn't followup.
The Governor returns to Woodbury, with his prize safely stored out of sight. He assures his people that he hasn't found Andrea yet, but will continue to look for her. Martinez informs him that during the night, someone sneaked out to the zombie pits, doused them with gasoline, and set them on fire. The Governor instructs Martinez to go round up some more. After hearing about the altercation at the pit, he confronts Tyreese about torching the zombies, but Tyreese didn't do it. Milton did.
And if there is any doubt as to whether or not the Governor returned to Woodbury with Andrea, he did. She is tied up in the torture chamber that was once reserved for Michonne.
Dig It or Bury It?
More than any other episode, tonight's show was a horror movie in the truest sense of the word. The whole thing. Andrea having to talk her way out of Woodbury. Andrea running. Andrea hiding in the forest. The cat-and-mouse chase in the school. The escape from that school/factory/meat packing district. Then the hope, the relief, as she finally sees her goal... so close - and the pure slasher movie moment where the Governor pops up from the brush and tackles Andrea - and any hope of safety. That scene reminded me very much of the final scene in Friday the 13th, where Jason attacks Alice in the lake. I also appreciated not cutting between whatever was going on at the prison. It kept the story focused and on track.
Kill o' the Week
Clearly, this one goes to Milton and the fire pit zombies. When Martinez finds them in the morning, they are a truly hideous pile of charcoal. A few of the walkers on the top of the pile did not get completely consumed by the fire. They are charred remnants of bodies, still glowing red from the embers, but twitching and moving their mouths in a desperate attempt to eat someone.
Rick is tired of the fear and decides that turning Michonne over to the Governor might not be the worst idea in the world.

TRAVERSE CITY — Donnita Hazel Sieffert, age 75 of East Duck Lake, died Sunday, Dec. 2, 2012 at Munson Hospice House in Traverse City after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Donnita was born on Sept. 22, 1937 in Buckley, Mich. to Alvah and Lavisa (Davis) Bancroft. On Sept. 25, 1954 Donnita married Everett Sieffert who preceded her in death on Jan. 23, 2004.
Donnita was an accomplished seamstress, and worked in that capacity for Interlochen Center for the Arts, for 24 years, retiring in June of 2001. A member of Grawn United Methodist Church, she enjoyed working with the ladies of the "In Stiches" quilting group. Donnita was a big basketball fan, and also enjoyed sewing, quilting, knitting, baking, and going for walks, but her greatest joy was doing things with her grandchildren.
Besides her husband Everett, she was preceded in death by her parents, one sister Eva Fern Fredric, and son in law Scott Trager. She is survived by her children: Allen (Janet) Sieffert of Grawn, Neta (Darrell) Jewell of Grawn, and Connie Trager of McBain. Also surviving are seven grandchildren, Heather (Nathaniel) Sullivan, Amber Jewell, Autumn (Kyle) Rector, Stacy Sieffert, Brian, Laurie and Lisa Trager; three great-grandchildren Sierra, Kaitlyn and Ethan Sullivan; three sisters Berneice Gonder of Traverse City, Sandra (Leonard) Mackie of Corunna and Sharon (Glen) Byers of Kalkaska; two brothers Wayne (Carol) Bancroft of Buckley and Ronald Bancroft of Bendon.
Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m., Wednesday, December 5, at the Grawn First United Methodist Church. Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m., Tuesday at Covell Funeral Home, 200 N. Brownson Avenue, Kingsley, and at the church on Wednesday beginning at noon.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Grawn United Methodist Church Youth Ministry or Munson Hospice House through the Covell Funeral Home.

Knoxville — A trio of Knoxville residents are facing charges after allegedly smoking marijuana in an apartment together Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Knoxville Police Department, a call came in from a neighbor to report the strong smell of the drug. Detective Kyle Keller responded to the location, 106 West Robinson, and could also smell it. After obtaining a search warrant, he returned to the address, apartment number 104.
Inside, he allegedly found four grams of marijuana, "blunts," rolling papers, grinders and a pipe. The apartment's resident, Melinda Hope Stamper, 40, along with Chuncie Lashane Miller, 28, and Curtis Lane Benson, 61, allegedly admitted to smoking marijuana together in the apartment's back bedroom.
All three suspects are charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Preliminary hearings are scheduled for June 14 at 1:30 p.m.

It's puzzling that people are shocked that, on abortion, the Republican platform contains no exceptions for rape or incest or to protect the health of a woman.
"The question of abortion is one of the most difficult and controversial of our time." That sweet reason is from the 1976 Republican platform, three years after Roe vs. Wade, which ruled that a woman's right to abortion is protected by the Constitution. The platform went on in the same moral-relativist vein. "There are those in our Party who favor complete support for the Supreme Court decision," and those who want that decision "changed by a constitutional amendment." Just to leave no one out, it went on to note that "others have yet to take a position" while others still fall somewhere in between.

incertitude, distress, ennui, alarm,

The Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is the vehicle that contributes to and supports Ursuline's vibrant campus on a daily basis. Tuition covers 88% of the $25 million it takes to run the college each year. Ursuline's major sources of income are tuition and fees and return on investments. Annual gifts from alumnae and friends are extremely important to the life of the college. It is only with your continued support that Ursuline College can maintain and improve its position as a leader in women-focused education.
Your contribution will:
provide increased scholarships and financial aid to students
support individual attention to students and help to maintain small class sizes
offset the rising cost of operating expenses
assist in the continual upgrade of our technology
fund faculty and student development
Ursuline Gift Club Levels:
Each alum or friend of Ursuline who contributes to the Annual Fund is acknowledged and recognized through one of the following giving levels:
President's Society ($10,000 +)
St. Angela Society ($5,000 - $9,999)
St. Ursula Society ($2,500 - $4,999)
Sr. Kenan Society ($1,000 - $2,499)
Annunciation Club ($500 - $999)
Mother Marie Club ($250 - $499)
1871 Club ($135 - $249)
Fleur-De-Lis Club (up to $134.00)
The Annual Fund Advisory Board
The Advisory Board assists the development director in planning and carrying out the many activities related to the Annual Fund. They meet three times a year and take an active role in the Phonathon.
Securing the endowment is extremely important for the future of Ursuline College. The income earned from the endowment fund provides support for student scholarships and scholarly activities of the faculty. It also provides support to maintain buildings and for general needs of the college. The endowment fund supports and secures the efforts of the College to carry forward its mission. Gifts to the endowment can fund such areas as faculty chairs, student scholarships, building upkeep and general college needs.
Endowed Chairs
Endowed chairs allow Ursuline to build on and strengthen well-regarded programs at the college. Endowing a chair is a very significant contribution to assisting Ursuline in its mission. In a very real way an endowed chair is one of the most powerful and enduring legacies a benefactor could bestow on Ursuline College. Through such a gift, a donor continues to impact the lives of Ursuline students into perpetuity. The endowing of an academic chair or professorship requires the donation of at least $1 million.
Endowed Scholarships
Like many colleges and universities, Ursuline College's budget is tuition driven with 88% of its income coming from tuition and fees. As operating costs continue to rise, tuition rates increase unless alternate sources of funding are secured. The creation of new scholarship funds is one way of helping to ensure that talented women and men who desire an Ursuline education can attend.
Anyone who would like to make a donation to Ursuline College in memory or friend or loved one is welcome to do so. You may also want to memorialize your entire family or an important event. There are a wide variety of possibilities for memorial donations such as creating an endowed scholarship or sending a memorial gift to be used by a specific department or academic area.
Senior Gift Program
In order to assist our seniors in developing a spirit of philanthropy to Ursuline, we've created the Senior Class Gift Program as an aspect of the Annual Fund. Each senior is asked to sign the Senior Class Gift Commitment Form and to donate $10.00. The commitment form invites them to give a gift of increasing amounts each year for the first five years after their graduation. Any senior who signs the commitment form and maintains the annual donation schedule will be honored with a brick with her/his name inscribed on it. These bricks will form part of a walkway in a prominent place on campus.
Faculty and Staff Appeal
Each year the entire faculty and staff are requested to make a donation to the Annual Appeal. Knowing the importance of the annual fund to the life of the college, a large percentage of faculty members, administrators and staff personnel support this appeal.

A small drug-development company co-founded by two Duke University professors is seeking to raise up to $57.5 million in an initial public offering of stock.
Aerie Pharmaceuticals, which is based in New Jersey and has a research-and-development facility in the Triangle, filed plans to go public Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The 22-employee company is developing glaucoma treatments but doesn't yet have any drugs on the market. It has earmarked much of the money it expects to raise from going public to funding new clinical trials.
Aerie was co-founded in 2005 by Duke medical professor David Epstein and Duke chemistry professor Eric Toone.
In May Aerie completed a Phase 2b clinical trial of its most advanced glaucoma drug candidate, AR-13324, a new class of drug that produced encouraging results. It is planning two Phase 3 trials – the final phase required before seeking regulatory approval to market a drug – that will include at least 1,200 patients for mid-2014.
Aerie recently installed a new CEO. The company's founding CEO, Thomas J. van Haarlem, resigned July 25 and was replaced by Vicente Anido, the company's chairman. Anido previously was CEO of ISTA Pharmaceuticals, an eye drug company that last year was acquired for $500 million by Bausch + Lomb.
Glaucoma, a degenerative eye disease with no known cure, afflicts more than 2.2 million Americans, according to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, and is a leading cause of blindness.
Some small drug-development companies decide that the best way to market their drugs is to license them to a larger pharmaceutical company, but Aerie doesn't plan to go that route.
The company reported in its filing that it envisions creating a team of about 100 sales representatives "if our product candidates are approved." It added that "we expect to expand our employment base to approximately 300 when we are in the full commercial stages of our current potential products' life cycle."
Successfully getting an experimental drug through the regulatory gauntlet is, however, fraught with risk. Many drug candidates that once held great promise ultimately get derailed.
Richard Rubino, Aerie's chief financial officer, said in an email message that company officials aren't granting interviews because its IPO filing puts it in a "quiet period" under SEC regulations.
As of June 30, Aerie had raised $71 million in venture capital from outside investors, according to the SEC filing. The company lost $10.4 million over the first six months of this year and lost $15.6 million in all of 2012.

Fatty corn dogs and sugary coffee cake may become extinct in thousands of school cafeterias nationwide under a landmark new alliance among Los Angeles Unified and five other major urban school districts to leverage their vast purchasing power for healthier fare and lower prices.
School districts in L.A., New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami and Orlando, Fla., plan to announce Thursday efforts to use their collective clout — 2.5 million daily meals served and $530 million annually spent — to make wholesome food a national standard. The districts are also aiming for more eco-friendly practices — replacing polystyrene and plasticwith biodegradable trays and flatware, for instance.

Horoscope | Bernice Bede Osol
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Aries (March 21-April 19) — Usually you can maintain an upbeat attitude, but it might take everything in your power not to let a sour temperament take over.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — When around people who have something worthwhile to say, you should do more listening than talking. You'll find much useful information that will come in handy down the line.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Focus your efforts on endeavors that could contribute to your financial well-being. Two unrelated opportunities that might come your way — seize both of them.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) — One of your greatest assets is the ability to take control of a situation and wrest something valuable from it, and you'll get a chance to do this today. You'll know how to delegate effectively.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Your goals can best be achieved by operating in a manner that doesn't generate much attention. Quietly do your own thing while letting others do theirs.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — One of the major reasons behind the current spike in your popularity is your genuine concern for others. Sincerity builds strong bonds of friendship.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you're too wishy-washy to make your own decisions, your colleagues will happily make them for you. Unfortunately, you might not appreciate the results.
Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A lesson you've learned from painful past experience will be wisely utilized. You aren't likely to repeat a mistake that you once made in a similar situation.
Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Your instincts are likely to be a shade sharper than usual when it comes to important personal matters. You'll heed your hunches and use them effectively.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Diplomacy and tact are your two greatest assets, especially regarding your friendships. Situations that normally could be a bit testy won't get a chance to go south.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Any assignment that requires your immediate attention should be given top priority. You're won't have any peace of mind if you ignore important mattes that need tending to.
Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) — You won't need to be around a ton of people to have a good time. In fact, hanging out with a few special friends could produce all the fun you need.

What do you think about the Wisconsin governor's proposal to do away with collective bargaining for public union workers?
"Go Gov. Scott Walker! Unions have been a major downfall of this country; most people have to pay for health insurance, and it really is time for people to pay their fair share."
_ Judy Wyckoff, Gilboa, farmer.
"Most people don't have opinions about it in New York, unless you are in a union family."
_ Jane Medoff, Oneonta, retired.
"I am behind the unions _ all the years of work to give workers a voice, it shouldn't be lost."
_ Tracy Verma, Oneonta, yoga instructor.
"People should have the right to collectively bargain. I feel that most unions already don't have the power that they used to."
_ Eric Rosa, Sidney, forklift operator.
"It doesn't immediately affect New York, but it might affect us down the road. As a janitor, it seems like we wouldn't be hurt as bad as teachers would."
_ Kenneth Ballard, Morris, janitor.
"I'd be supportive of the unions; it's in the best interest of the students and in the best interest of America."
_ Dan Cirigliano, Sidney, teacher.

Industries with the Best 401(k) Matches
These employees are getting the biggest company contributions to their 401(k).
Workers in the private sector were offered a median 401(k) match of 3 percent of pay in 2010. But the maximum possible employer contribution is considerably higher for specific groups of workers. Here's a look at which employees are getting the biggest company contributions to their 401(k) plan.
[See 7 Signs of a Good 401(k) Plan.]
Employees of credit intermediation firms. Credit intermediation companies generally offer the most generous 401(k) contributions of any industry—a median of 5 percent of pay, according to recently released Bureau of Labor Statistics data for 2010. Employers in this sector include mortgage and loan brokerages, clearinghouse and reserve services, check cashing services, and other financial institutions that lend funds raised from depositors or credit market borrowing.
Protective service workers. Employees in the service sector generally get a below average 401(k) match, unless they work in the protective service. Protective service employees in the private sector got a median employer contribution to their 401(k) of 5 percent of pay in 2010.
Managers. Management employees in the business and financial industry got a median employer contribution of 4 percent of pay to their retirement account. And those in the 90th percentile had a median of 6 percent of pay deposited into their 401(k) as a matching contribution.
[See 5 Employers With Generous 401(k) Matches.]
Western residents. Workers who live in the Pacific (4 percent of pay), New England (3.6 percent), and Middle Atlantic (3.6 percent) regions get a larger median 401(k) match than those in the rest of the country (3 percent).
Insurance carriers. Employees who underwrite or sell annuities and insurance policies received a median 401(k) contribution of 3.9 percent of their salary in 2010.
Trade, transportation, and utilities workers. The trade, transportation, and utilities sectors provided a maximum possible 401(k) match of 3.5 percent of pay last year.
Large company employees. Large companies generally provide more generous retirement benefits than smaller businesses. Employees at firms with 500 or more workers received a median 401(k) contribution of 3.5 percent of pay, compared to a median of 3 percent at smaller companies.
[See The 10 Most Difficult Retirement Decisions.]
The smallest employer contributions to 401(k) plans were provided by health care and social assistance employers (2 percent of pay) and the service industry (2.5 percent of pay) in 2010.

Designed specifically for pocket hole joinery, the broad clamp faces and deep throat on the Premium Kreg Face Clamp enable you to clamp directly over the joint line, ensuring a perfectly flush seam. Without a face clamp, the pocket screw can follow the grain of the wood, resulting in misalignment. The vise-grip style clamp action makes it easy to engage and disengage the Kreg clamp with one hand. Its generous 3-1/4" throat depth makes it a true deep throat clamp, capable of reaching across most face frame stiles.
Technical Details:
Technical Details:
- The premium Kreg clamp features soft-grip handles for more comfortable operation.
- 3-1/4" deep throat clamps wide rails and stiles easily.
- Vise-grip style clamp action-squeeze to engage, trip to the lever to release.
- Adjustment knob dials out to handle stock up to 2-3/4" thick.

This clamp, specifically designed for the Kreg pocket screw jig, greatly speeds drilling of pocket screw holes. It can be used for any clamping purpose, but the vise-grip type of adjustment is tedious if you keep changing sizes of material to be clamped.

In the wake of the massacre that took the lives of 20 young children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, hundreds of mayors from around the U.S. have sent an open letter to President Barack Obama, urging him and federal lawmakers to "put forward an agenda that is rooted in common sense and that will make it harder for dangerous people to possess guns, and easier for police and prosecutors to crack down on them."
The letter, from Mayors Against Illegal Guns, has been signed by 750 mayors, who have "joined forces with over 700,000 Americans and more than 100 survivors of deadly shootings." The letter urges the following steps:
- Require every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check.
- Get high capacity rifles and ammunition magazines off our streets.
- Make gun trafficking a federal crime.
"Those ideas require action by Congress, but there steps you and your Administration could and should take immediately to curb gun violence," according to the letter.
- Appoint a director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF), the federal agency responsible for enforcing our gun laws, which has gone without a confirmed director for more than six years.
- Prosecute prohibited purchasers who attempt to buy firearms, ammunition or high-capacity magazines.
- Require federal agencies to report records to National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), as federal agencies are required to submit mental health, substance abuse and other records that prohibit a person from owning a gun to NICS, though few comply.
- Repeal remaining so-called "Tiahrt restrictions," which are riders to the federal budget that restrict access to federal gun data. The "remaining restrictions keep the public, particularly researchers and elected officials, in the dark about gun traffickers – specifically, who they are and how they operate."
"In the past few days, the American people came together in a national outpouring of grief and sympathy for the families of victims slain in the mass shooting in Newtown," the coalition wrote. "We share in that grief. But our constituents are also outraged and looking for leadership from the White House. We look forward to working with you to find a solution to gun violence in our country."

David Harewood
• David Harewood Met With CIA Agent For 'Homeland' Research
Birth Name: David Harewood
Born Dec. 8, 1965 in Birmingham, England, David Harewood earned his training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, but found himself the subject of enormous cultural pressure as a rising black English actor.

HOUSTON—Students at Burbank Middle School were trying to understand why their bus driver was arrested on Wednesday afternoon.
The driver was transporting a bus was full kids, when witnesses said an HISD officer used force to pull the driver out.
"It's unfair," eighth grader Ashley Cosio said. "At the same time, it's all just confusing."
Parents said the driver was screaming as the officer grabbed and dragged her off. Children as young as Pre-K watched and screamed too.
"You're just shocked that this actually happened," Cosio said. "And you don't know what to say because you haven't heard the other side of the story."
The HISD identified the driver as 56-year- old Ana Arratia, a private bus driver. A spokesperson could not go into detail on her personnel's past.
They released a statement saying:
On Wednesday, Sept. 19, HISD police allege that a private bus operator refused to obey an officer's request to move a vehicle out of a lane blocking other vehicles from exiting the Burbank Middle School driveway. The driver then physically resisted the officer as the officer attempted to take her into custody. A charge of assaulting a peace officer is expected to be filed against the bus operator on Friday.
