If I had not seen it myself in Chuck Pinkey's column, I would not believe it. He reported that on two separate occasions, Jim Losie, of Losie's Gun Shop in Oneonta, attempted to buy ads in local school publications, to SUPPORT the school's activities.
His ads were refused by both schools and one of them even suggested that Mr. Losie change the name of his business to "Losie's Sporting Goods," apparently so the children might be sheltered from that awful word "guns." Maybe THEN, they might accept his generosity. Says who? Who are these people? Did it ever occur to the genius making these decisions that maybe Mr. Losie likes the name of his shop the way it is?
I cannot find a 'politically correct' word to describe judgment like this … (nor do I want to). The operative word that keeps coming up is 'stupid,' which seems to describe it best from any angle. Is "stupider" a word? Because if it is, then I submit that this action is "stupider" than anything else I have seen lately.
Do any of these sheltered students have hunters in their family? Are any of these students hunters themselves? Should we now ban bookstore ads because they might sell bibles and therefore offend someone? What about drug store ads? Heaven forbid our children being exposed to hearing of some of the things sold there!
And, on and on it goes. Is there ever to be an end of this nonsense? Only if at least some of us stand up and say ENOUGH!. If the people that made the dumb decisions in this matter can't be fired, citizens should at least demand that their policy-making powers be severely limited in the future.

Greg Satell, Contributor
When Clayton Christensen was a newly minted professor at Harvard Business School and began his famous study of why companies fail, he took an unusual approach.
He didn't want to look just at any companies, but at formerly successful ones. The kind whose stocks were once high flyers and whose CEO's graced the covers of top business magazines. Not the losers, but the once great champions who stumbled and fell. What he found was startling.
While he expected to see firms who had simply lost their way, what he found were firms that followed all of the best practices taught at business schools like his, such as investing heavily in R&D, listening to customers and focusing on profits.
In the 20 years since he began his research, it's become clear that technology shifts can radically change time-honored business principles. Today, the as technology continues to evolve, we need to take these four principles into account.
Business schools teach us to be logical and methodical, but the truth is, we're not as rational as we'd like to think. Executives need to make thousands of decisions and speed is important, so we take short cuts, relying on rules of thumb to fill in the gaps in our data.
In other words, we often extrapolate, using personal experience to make common sense judgments. The problem is that today's business environment is fraught with S-curves and digital laws, not the step-by-step linear advance that we experience on a journey in the physical world.
What's driving the change is the increasing informational content of our products and services. We used to operate in an economy of atoms, in which value was created by transforming matter and energy. Now, value is often created by design through informationally driven technologies like CAD, 3-D printing and genomics.
Technology pioneer Ray Kurzweil predicts that in the future, "all technologies will essentially become information technologies, including energy." So exponential rates of progress will increasingly become the norm.
Banks used to be situated in large, ornate buildings that radiated size and power. The idea was that scale meant safety. Doing business with a big company meant that you could be sure that they would be around next week and could stand by their promises. In those days, no one ever got fired for buying IBM.
That was then, this is now. Industrial era giants like Kodak and US Steel have faltered. GM and Xerox suffered near death experiences. Their scale provided little insulation from market forces. Meanwhile, companies like Google, Facebook and Instagram spring up out of nowhere, becoming billion dollar companies overnight.
That's the essence of the new semantic economy. Upstarts can get access to resources that used to be available only to large ones. Whether it's infrastructure in the cloud, outsourced manufacturing or capital from angels, VC's and crowdfunding, very few industries still have significant barriers to entry.
About the only real advantage that incumbents have these days is the ability to hire lobbyists through trade associations and that is often more a sign of weakness than of strength.
In the industrial age, a company's business model didn't change much. The way a firm would create, deliver and capture value could stay fairly constant for generations. The practice of management was mostly focused on execution. If you could move men and material efficiently, buy for a dollar and sell for two, you'd be successful, sometimes enormously so.
As Saul Kaplan rightly points out in his excellent book, The Business Model Innovation Factory, that's no longer true. We have come to expect a number of upheavals in any given industry during the course of a career or even a decade. With scale advantages disappearing, no one is immune. We all have to adapt.
What's more, the process is accelerating. As technological cycles compress and planning cycles struggle to keep up, we need to experiment more and plan less. This is creating a strategic shift where strategy becomes more emergent, collaborative and Bayesian.
Way back in 1969, while hippies were making their pilgrimage to Woodstock and Niel Armstrong was preparing for his moonwalk, Peter Drucker was predicting the oncoming of a new age, which he called the knowledge economy, where managers would have to supervise subordinates who had expertise that they themselves lacked.
One of the key ramifications that he foresaw was that we'd have to treat almost everyone as if they were a volunteer. No amount of monitoring and auditing can suffice. Control becomes a dangerous illusion in a knowledge economy.
The result is we're at the mercy of the lowest common denominator. No one cares what the CEO says in the annual report if the front line people aren't performing well and making good decisions. Business moves too fast and is too complex for rules and regulations to drive competent performance.
The lunatics run the asylum, the best that managers can do is help them run it right.
While there is no lack of discussion about the digital age, I'm not sure that we've fully accepted the consequences of the transition from atoms to bits. It's not just that technology is moving faster, the rate of change is actually accelerating and that alters the logic by which we need to operate. Our intuition and experience lead us to assume a much slower pace.
Further, as the informational content of products and services increases, the economics change. While material and energy costs become less important, the information component is becoming more exponentially more efficient. We've seen this in computer hardware and software, but now we're seeing it in life sciences and even manufacturing.
Everywhere you look, efficiency is being automated. From robots in factories to pattern recognition software that automates analytical tasks, machine capabilities are replacing human ones in every area except one: our ability to interact with each other. That's the essence of the new passion economy.
In a fully automated age, the only truly valuable asset will be the human spirit.
- Greg
Thanks Greg for these insightful 5 trends. I would add, that technology is moving not only exponentially, but it is also multidimensional requiring 'multi-variate', adaptable models to help guide decision-making. Why: 1) No single technology is separated, usually builds on others 2) No consumers are isolated, but rather increasingly social 3) Onmi-channel communications touch both targeted an unintended audiences 4) Complexity reigns.
Points well take. To that I would add sustainable innovation, meaning, the cost to develop and maintain internal and externa. facing apps on all major mobile devices and web browsers means, 15+ apps. Using sustainable app creation such as with CorporateCentral, graphic app creation (no code), one app runs on all major mobile devices and web browsers, already integrated with relationship management, user management, master data management, delivery portal/app store and freemium option…very sustainable.
Max More's "Proactionary Principle" may be of interest to readers.
From http://www.maxmore.com/proactionary.htm
"The Proactionary Principle stands for the proactive pursuit of progress. Being proactive involves not only anticipating before acting, but learning by acting. When technological progress is halted, people lose an essential freedom and the accompanying opportunities to learn through diverse experiments. We already suffer from an undeveloped capacity for rational decision making. Prohibiting technological change will only stunt that capacity further. Continuing needs to alleviate global human suffering and desires to achieve human flourishing should make obvious the folly of stifling our freedom to learn
Let a thousand flowers bloom! By all means, inspect the flowers for signs of infestation and weed as necessary. But don�t cut off the hands of those who spread the seeds of the future."

Paul Caravelli, executive chef of 545 North Bar & Grill in Libertyville, will live to see another day in the ongoing competition on ABC's "The Taste."
Caravelli and his fellow contestants competed in the first official themed episode Tuesday night, charged with creating two separate comfort food dishes. At the end of the one-hour episode, two chefs were eliminated—and Caravelli wasn't one of them.
On Tuesday night's episode, the cooks from each of the four teams faced off against each other in an initial challenge. Each contestant created a comfort food dish that had to contain bacon, egg and cheese. Then, after determining which dish was the best from the team, a spoonful - or taste - of that contestant's food was presented to Guest Chef Gabrielle Hamilton for judging. The winning contestant won immunity, and that contestant's team won assistance from Hamilton during the solo challenge.
Caravelli, who is on Ludo Lefevbre's team, opted to make stuffed chicken breast with potato croquettes, but his dish wasn't selected to be presented to Hamilton. Ultimately, it was Nigella Lawson's team that won the initial competition.
For the solo competition, also using the "comfort food" theme, Caravelli made potato flaked halibut. He and the 15 other contestants each presented a spoonful of their dish to the four judges/mentors—Lawson, Lefevbre, Anthony Bourdain and Brian Malarkey—who tasted the dishes blindly. The judges critiqued the food as the contestants watched and listened.
The judges ultimately chose the three best and four worst dishes and delivered the news to the contestants.
"Of all of those 16, nothing sucked," Bourdain said after tasting the array of dishes.
As he awaited the results, Caravelli said he was "feeling like a million butterflies in my stomach right now."
Caravelli and eight other contestants landed in the middle of the pack, safe for another week. The two contestants sent home at the end of the night were Micah from Malarkey's team and Renatta from Nigella's team.
"The Taste" will air again at 7 p.m. Feb. 12.

STOCKTON - The geometry of a folded, no-leak diaper. Phone etiquette with nervous parents. How to ask for, and be clear about, babysitting rates.
The Safety Council, for the 20th year in a row, is conducting Home Alone Training & Babysitting Certification.
Those issues, and more, will be handled in three classes of four hours each designed around helping boys and girls 12 to 15 get ready for the responsibilities of taking care of younger children.
If you're interested in the Home Alone Training & Babysitting Certification program, here's how to register:
Call: (209) 472-7233
Online: californiasafety.org
Cost: $75
Location: The Safety Council, 6004 N. El Dorado St.
When: 8 a.m. to noon June 24, 26, 28.
The once-a-year classes are taught June 24 to 28.
"We talk about appropriate discipline, how to handle emotions, how to stay calm and behavioral response," said Lynndee Riley, president and chief executive officer of the Stockton-based Central California Safety Council.
"There's a difference between nagging and warnings with discipline that are consistent with parents' beliefs. We talk about appropriate movies and books and the importance of being active, not passive."
Instruction is from 8 a.m. until noon and divided over the three days:
» June 24: Infant/child CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training, complete with certification.
» June 26: Pediatric First Aid training, also with certification.
» June 28: Hands-on training that includes diaper folding, phone conversation, dealing with parental wishes, learning how to set fees.
"We really focus on the responsibilities of caring for other people," Riley said. "The young people who go through the program are excited and not disappointed."

We can't believe this! This would be the THIRD time Jennifer Aniston and Cameron Diaz have swapped dudes! First it was John Mayer, then Paul Sculfor, and now Gerard Butler?! The Mirror reports that Jennifer and Gerard were spotted out together, and Lainey adds that the two were seen whispering, touching and engaging in otherwise flirty behavior at the Hyatt Roof Lounge in Toronto on Sunday night.
As you may remember, Cameron and Gerard hooked up back in April, but she moved on and started dating Jen's ex Paul in June.
Think Jennifer has finally found love?

Too hot to fish? I think not. While many lakes and reservoirs are getting pretty tough, the action's heating up on area creeks, streams, and small rivers. And they're also full of feisty spotted bass if you know where to look. One area creek that is off the radar screen of most anglers due to its shallow, debris filled waters prohibiting bass boats and outboards from access is Okatibbee Creek.
If you want a low impact, stress free day away from the roar of outboard motors and other anglers, then fishing small waters such as Okatibbee Creek should be right up your alley.
Flowing south from Okatibbee Lake, Okatibbee Creek offers anglers many access points off local roads. Okatibbee is derived from the Choctaw Oka, meaning water and tibih, meaning fight, from a dispute the Choctaws had with the Creek Indians from Alabama. These days, thankfully, the fighting has died down, for all except the Kentucky spotted bass that inhabit the waters.
Last Saturday morning Johnny Cumberland launched his canoe on a secluded stretch of the creek near Meridian and I came along for the float. As we floated in a southerly direction it didn't take long for a lunker to smash my shallow running chartreuse/coachdog colored crankbait and head for parts unknown. The fish wallowed near the surface thrashing the water briefly before diving down again. After a pretty good battle I landed our first fish of the day, a catfish no less. Needless to say we weren't catfishing but the battle was challenging and fun and we quickly released him and continued downstream.
After fishing a stretch of slack water without much success Cumberland switched gears and pitched a white spinnerbait near a brush top and his first bass of the day nailed it and put on quite a show. Pound for pound the diminutive spotted bass are the hardest fighting fish in this part of the state. Cumberland continued catching bass as we floated further south.
The creek's gently flowing current was carrying us along at an easy fishing pace and we only had to occasionally paddle to adjust our route, away from snake filled overhead limbs. Cumberland switched to a medium sized Rebel crawfish crankbait and quickly caught a few more bass. The bass were holding in areas with current flowing around logs, brushtops and other current breaks and this avid angler was really hitting the right spots.
As we worked our way downstream we continued catching bass on small chartreuse colored crankbaits and really had some action. But then we rounded a bend and suddenly the world looked different as the creek was filled with logs and fallen trees, completely covering the creek in some locations. For the next hour and a half we crawled over and under logs with the canoe and portaged around some sandbars to get back on track.
As the habitat changed I switched to a white spinnerbait and sent it into a small pocket that had water flowing through like a funnel. Shad skittered across the surface and a nice spotted bass nailed it. After a short battle I released the bass and continued fishing until we got on the downstream side of the funnel. Once we got out of the main current flow I pitched the spinnerbait up to the base of a cypress tree and slow rolled it towards the boat and another spot almost took the rod out of my hands right at the boat. I was able to sustain the initial charge and finally subdued the bass.
Cumberland also switched back to a white spinnerbait and had another bass nail his lure right at the boat. But this one was very different and it was all he could do to hold on. Turns out this spot was the biggest of the day and looked like a football, it was so fat!
We continued our leisurely float and picked up a few bass along the way until we came in sight of a bridge, our takeout point. Wham, one last cast had elicited another bone jarring strike from a Kentucky and the fight was on again. After subduing the fish we admired him for a minute and quickly released it for another angler to catch.
About the only downside to our fishing trip, besides encountering logs and trees blocking the creek, was that it came to an end so quickly. On a positive note, we released every fish we caught so the next angler could have a chance to feel the thrill again and again. Carpe Diem!

Johnson, Anderson shine in regional Hit, Run & Throw
By Tim Chambers
Maggie Johnson and Jaden Anderson go together like peanut butter and milk chocolate. And the two are sweeter on each other than a four-pack of Reese Cups.
The duo recently represented Carter County American Little League at the regional Hit, Run & Throw regional competition in Atlanta. And they brought home the league's highest two finishes ever — first and second place.
Aside from being best of friends and having crushes on one another, they also are pretty good at crushing the baseball and softball. Both were busy practicing All-Stars on Thursday, but took time to sit down and talk about their recent accomplishments.

Particularly as we know normally 80% of them are out in the field. Even the conservative ~350 estimate is more than half his Archons. That is not a normal number to have at home.
Wonder what he made for his 700 golems.

New Castle News
Flour, salt, cream of tartar, water, food coloring and vegetable oil are the ingredients needed to make homemade Play-Doh.
That was one of the lessons taught to fourth-grade teachers Wednesday while their students were off petting farm animals and learning about where their food comes from.
More than 250 students and teachers from the Laurel, Neshannock Shenango and Ellwood City school districts went to the Lawrence County Fairgrounds for Ag Encounter, a hands-on program that teaches about the world of agriculture, farm animals and products from the fields.
The two-day event — sponsored by the Penn State Agricultural Extension Office, Future Farmers of America chapters and local farmers — started Tuesday. That day, students from St. Vitus, New Castle Christian Academy, Holy Redeemer, Mohawk, New Castle, Union and Wilmington schools attended.
Some students saw live cows, pigs, sheep and chickens for the first time and were allowed to pet them.
Various stations were set up to teach different subjects and the sound of a siren every 15 minutes signaled the time for the children to move to another station to learn a different aspect of farm life.
For example, a live cow and calves were used to teach where milk comes from. Other stations featured chickens and eggs, pigs, beef cows, lambs and wool, fruits and vegetables, soils and how apples grow.
Members of FFA and 4-H from local high schools, with help from 4-H advisers, delivered the lectures to the youngsters.
Lawrence County 4-H director Bryan Dickinson gave step-by-step instructions to teachers on how to make the Play-Doh, with Ellwood City's Perry Intermediate School teachers Lisa Ovial and Craig Mills trying their hand at it.
He noted the homemade variety does not have the characteristic smell most people have come to know and love. Following is his recipe:
Homemade Play-Doh
Food coloring, added to the water
Place the flour in a deep saucepan and mix with dry ingredients. Gradually add the colored water mixture, stirring while mixing, until it is smooth.
Place pan on medium-high burner and cook, stirring constantly, for about five minutes, until stiff.
The modeling compound can be turned onto a paper plate and will be soft, firm and pliable when it cools.

It was a moderately ugly Thursday night, as has become the custom. While everyone else was watching our nation's most silly form of Reality TV, Jon watched football. Pity him.
The USC Trojans played the Utah Utes, and that somehow failed to be overshadowed by the tragic murder of star small college running back Tim McNerney.
Okay, there is football tonight, headlined by the USC Trojans visiting the Utah Utes on ESPN. But today's National catches up on fall non-revenue sports, and hey, the Lady Cats are pretty good.

By J. Daniel Rollins
Register-Herald Sports Writer
When two of the most successful girls basketball teams in recent state history meet, expect a dynamic atmosphere.
That's exactly what happened Thursday night at Westside when the Class AA No. 1 Lady Renegades (21-1) took on the No. 10 Summers County Lady Bobcats (14-9) in the Region 3, Section 1 championship.
The two teams met a week ago in Hinton in a game the Lady Renegades won by 40 points, 91-51, and while not as spotless of a game for Westside, the result this time was much of the same this time around, with the home team winning 77-42.
Coach Jamie Lusk's team has been on a tear since losing in the Big Atlantic Classic to University. In the eight games since, the Lady Renegades have outscored their opponents 646-256.
"Anytime you can beat teams like we've beat in the last two weeks — Summers County and Logan, who beat (Class AAA No. 3) Huntington last night — is a good thing," Lusk said.
"To know we can beat teams with those kind of abilities, that play good defense and still score, it helps get us ready for the next two weeks and hopefully a trip to the tournament."
Lusk grinned from ear-to-ear when talking about his team and the chemistry that has been built this season.
"This group is a family, not just because we have three groups of sister," he said with a laugh. "They trust each other. They do things together. It's helping us perform at the level we've been performing at."
One standout performance for the Lady Renegades came from 6-foot junior Megan Endicott, who was named the section's Most Valuable Player during the tournament.
Megan was doing everything.
Grabbing rebounds.
Scoring baskets.
Blocking shots.
She even sang the Star Spangled Banner before the game with her sister Mackenzie.
It's been a long road for Endicott, who was, as she explained, "terrible" as a freshman and has morphed into another weapon on an already loaded Lady Renegade squad.
"Starting my freshman year, it was horrible; I didn't make even make the varsity," Endicott said with a laugh. "Coach Jamie (Lusk) is a great coach. He knows how to motivate us. It's great to know that because of that and the hard work I've come from being very bad to being named most valuable player."
"Megan's a very hard worker. She does everything in the offseason she's supposed to be doing," Lusk said. "It's paying off. She battles. She's strong. She's quick. She knows what her role is."
That role has increased in recent games. While most teams are double-teaming star player Hope Lester, it's leaving Megan open.
"I've been finishing my shots much better than I normally do," Endicott said. "No doubt, that helped me win this game with my team and win this award."
Endicott finished the game with 12 points and eight rebounds.
The Lady Bobcats have faced their share of adversity this season, losing several players to injury, but they feel they're primed and ready to make a run of their own toward another state championship.
"We took care of our business on Tuesday night," Summers coach Wayne Ryan said. "We're going to keep moving forward and prepare for that. The best team in class AA was in this gym tonight and in this region. Westside's a very good team."
Westside and Summers County will advance to the Region 3 tournament next week.
The all-tournament team was awarded following the game. Liberty's Stacy Williams, Independence's Emily Fedukovich and Kelsey Hart, Wyoming East's Hannah Ford and Chelsea Duncan, Summers County's Tyra Wynes, Avery Pivont, Brandy Morrison and Westside's Hope Lester, Danielle Brown, Morgan Spolarich and Megan Endicott were named to the team.

Act One.
He was never an actor but Jim Ely fondly recalls his theatrical experiences at Madison East High School. "I'd go to a Friday night performance, as really, the entire student body used to do 35 years ago, it's a little different nowadays."
As is the current theatre's physical fitness.
Ely, a 1971 East graduate and current custodian, says the venue's red, plastic replacement seats, poor audio system, and overall stiff feel don't fit the script. "There's something now, about our Margaret Williams theatre, it doesn't seem 'theatre,' it's cold, it's plastic."
Act two.
Last fall, Ely decides to donate $5,000 to help refurbish the theatre to honor the memory of the star of his stage, his wife, Judy. "We both did stage work. Both were involved in drama. I was always on stage crew. Judy was in the make-up club and costume club and that's actually kinda where I met my wife."
Act Three.
Bradley Whitford, also an East graduate, now a star of the NBC drama "West Wing," gets word of Ely's donation and writes a letter. Whitford wrote, "please tell Jim Ely that he is my hero, and that I would like to match his donation, in honor of his wife, Judy."
Judy was a huge fan of the hit show. "When Judy was admitted to the hospice center, out in Fitchburg, she was in room number two of the 'West Wing.'"
As for Jim...
"I had to call one of my daughters to find out what t.v. station to watch and I sat down one day to watch 'West Wing' so I could figure out who Brad Whitford was because, I didn't have a clue."
He does now, along with a notion to get the entire space renovated...
"or at least updated and so there's you know there's work to be done."
To be continued...
Ely says the orchestra has already purchased new acoustic shells and a portion of a new sound system adding the theatre will graciously accept additional financial support.

Is GMO Resistance "Bugging" Monsanto's Future?
15 Dec, 2011
by Tom Laskawy, via Grist.org,
Now that 94 percent of the soy and 70 percent of the corn grown in the U.S. are genetically modified, Monsanto—one of the companies that dominates the GMO seed market — might look to some like it's winning. But if we look a little closer, I'd say they're holding on by a thread.
Their current success is due in large part to brilliant marketing. The company's approach was both compelling—their products were sold as the key to making large-scale farming far simpler and more predictable—and aggressive: Monsanto made it virtually impossible for most farmers to find conventional seeds for sale in most parts of the country.
Despite promises of improved productivity, enhanced nutritional content, or extreme weather tolerance—none of which has ever come to market — Monsanto has only ever produced seeds with two genetically modified traits: either herbicide tolerance or pesticide production. And even those traits never lived up to the marketing hype.
But it now appears that the core traits themselves are failing. Over the last several years, so-called "superweeds" have grown resistant to the herbicide RoundUp, the companion product that's made Monsanto's herbicide-tolerant (aka RoundUp-Ready) corn, soy, and alfalfa so popular. Those crops were supposed to be the only plants that could withstand being sprayed by the chemical. Oops.
The superweed problem is so bad that farmers in some parts of the country are abandoning thousands of acres because the weeds are so out of control, or dousing the crops with ever more toxic (and expensive) combinations of other herbicides. Thankfully, it's an issue that's getting more and more media attention.
And now Monsanto's other flagship product line, the pesticide-producing "Bt crops," named for the pesticide they are genetically modified to emit, is in trouble.
Scientists have warned that insects would become resistant from the overuse of Bt crops, but Monsanto poo-pooed it. Even so, when the EPA first considered Bt crops for approval, agency scientists wanted a 50-percent buffer to prevent resistance (only half the acreage in any given field could be planted with Bt crops). Of course, if that demand stood, there is no way that Monsanto would ever have achieved their current market dominance.
Monsanto was so convinced (publicly at least) of their products' immunity from, well, an immunity problem, that they pushed back hard and got the buffer zone reduced to 20 percent. The idea with a larger buffer was that any resistant bugs that arose would breed with the bugs feeding on the non-Bt crops nearby, and ecological balance would be preserved. So, by requiring a small buffer, EPA higher-ups were echoing Monsanto's party line: Resistance isn't a risk.
Sadly, even that 20-percent rule has been ignored by many farmers, with no fear of retribution from Monsanto for violating safety protocols, of course. After all, the smaller the buffer, the more of their profit-earning GMO seeds farmers were planting.

From the minute babies are born, mamas are in a rush for them to take their first steps and say their first words, but some products appear to be propelling them forward at lightning-fast speed. Whether they're placing suggestive sayings across their chests or placing them in pint-sized versions of grown-up clothes, here are five items that are too racy for lil ones to wear. Corset Creepers What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Corsets for lil girls? TinyHaute Couture's cotton onesies with fur animal-print inlays and lace appliques certainly made a statement, but it doesn't look like it was one moms were willing to buy. Since we originally wrote about them, the company has stopped selling them. 1 / 5 Faux Leather Bikinis What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Moms are pretty divided on the whole kids in bikinis issue, but one thing they tend to agree about is that lil ones don't need to be wearing faux leather versions (even if they match their mamas' two pieces). INCA's version of the swimsuits come with a "perfect gift for Daddy's little girl tagline." 2 / 5 Hooters Onesies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 There are plenty of options when it comes to choosing a place to dine with your lil one, and for some that includes Hooters. The palace of Buffalo wings and well-endowed employees may suit some, but their racy onesies aren't necessarily appropriate for lil breastfed tots. 3 / 5 Heelarious What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Face it, if your lil one is anything like her mama, she's going to be a shoe addict, but just how early should she be introduced to mom's high heels. Heelarious's soft soled high heels for lil fashionistas are designed in jest, but may not be the right way to get her started. 4 / 5 Baby Talk Tees What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Some mamas love to put their thoughts on their tees, and some on their lil ones' shirts.

The Mankato Free Press
---- — Garages are generally thought of as a man's domain.
But garage sales? Not so much.
An exception might be the Sportsman's Garage Sale that the Garden City Rod & Gun Club will be hosting 9 a.m.- 3 p.m.Saturday, Sept. 14, at the Lake Crystal American Legion.
Forget about tables full of Little Tyke play centers, baby clothes or ceramic figures.
The dominant theme for this sale, which coincides with a city-wide rummage sale also being held in the community, will be man toys — hunting, fishing and camping gear, hand and power tools, just about anything outdoor-related.
"I've been running it past the club for the last couple of years," said Dale Hudson, who hatched the idea of a man-cave oriented event as a fund-raising event for the organization with roots dating back to the 1940s. "This year, we thought it sounded like a good idea."
"We're a small club," he said. "We don't own any property, don't have a gun range to maintain," he said.
Instead, holding true to a mission of conservation, the group reinvests club funds in local wildlife and habitat projects through organizations like Blue Earth County Pheasants, Inc. and the local Ducks Unlimited Chapter.
The sale, Hudson explained, seemed to be a good way to raise funds for the club and allow sportsmen sell gear they no longer need.
The sale will be held in a way similar to area gun shows with sellers renting a 10-foot-by 10-foot area complete with an 8-foot table to display their goods at the indoor venue for $25.
Hudson said he is hoping for 25 tables and that about a dozen already have been claimed. "Then it will be free enterprise at its finest, between the buyer and seller, he said. "The seller will get to keep all of his profits."
The club will make its money from the space rental and a $3 admission to the event.
In addition to the indoor sales areas, an outdoor sales area will be available for larger items like boats, ATVs, cars, trucks, motorcycles,fish houses, bulldozers.
"Give us $5 and you can park it, display it and maybe sell it," he said.
Hudson admits that finding enough sportsmen willing to sell some of their unused toys is a bit of a concern.
"My fear is that a lot of guys don't want to part with anything," he said. "But I have a feeling their wives might have a different opinion."
To ensure that the sale really remains a sportsman's garage sale and not a run-of-the-mill rummage sale, sellers will be expected to adhere to some pretty clear guidelines of what they will be able to sell.
Leave all of those paperback romance novels, the used Tupperware at home, guys. Ditto for the doilies or baby booties you might have spent hours laboring over.
"No Beanie Babies collections allowed and if I offended anyone, it is purely intentional," Hudson joked.
The dominant theme of the man-cave sale, he said, really will be held to camouflage and blaze orange.
"But I guess we could make an exception for Beanie Babies, though, so long as they're wearing camouflage or blaze orange," he said.
The deadline for registering for a sales space is Sept. 10. To receive a registration form, send an e-mail to email@example.com or call 507-549-3887.

This article was a finalist for the 2010 National Magazine Awards in the personal service category.
As the highest state in the Lower 48, Colorado sells altitude. It's what we've got that others want—which is why people come from all over to ski down our mountains, camp near our alpine lakes, and climb our fourteeners. Not that we blame them; we dig our state's God-given natural beauty and well-endowed topography, too. But here's the rub: There are risks associated with living, playing, or vacationing at altitude. Strange thing is, most people—and way too many Coloradans—don't realize just how much we're all affected by our extraordinarily thin air.

From Wire and Staff Reports
A workers' compensation auditor and four coal company contractors were charged Tuesday in a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme.
Arville Sargent, 52, of Chapmanville, was charged with mail fraud and tax evasion for allowing companies to underreport their payroll in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash bribes and other items, including an all-terrain vehicle, according to a release from U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin. Sargent was an auditor for BrickStreet Mutual Insurance Company, the state's largest workers' compensation insurance provider. Goodwin said the fraud cheated BrickStreet out of millions of dollars in insurance premiums it was owed.
The companies involved in the scheme are Aracoma Contracting LLC, Christian Contracting, Newhall Contracting and T&W Services. Each provided labor on a contract basis to coal companies in southern West Virginia.
Two principals for Aracoma — Jerome Eddie Russell, 50, of Williamson; and Frelin Workman, 58, of Belfry, Ky. — admitted paying a significant number of their employees in cash as part of a tax evasion scheme to avoid the associated payroll taxes, Goodwin said.
Randy Workman, 36, of Belfry, Ky., also used cash payments to evade payroll taxes, the prosecutor said. Arthur White Jr., 60, of Lenore, paid a portion of the payroll for T&W Services LLC through a shell company to avoid paying taxes.
Sargent, Russell, Frelin Workman and Randy Workman each face up to 25 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
White faces up to ten years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
It wasn't immediately clear whether they had attorneys.
Goodwin said in a release that the charges, filed as an information to indicate the defendants' cooperation, show that his office takes mine safety seriously.
"Employers in the coal mining industry who cheat the workers' compensation insurance system are really only cheating the hard-working miners who risk injury to perform dangerous jobs to provide for their families," he said.
He said failing to report employment exposed the coal miners to "devastating financial misfortune" if there had gotten injured on the job.
"These charges are even more disturbing because these crooked operators were able to compromise the one person entrusted to make sure the employees are properly accounted for: the insurance company's auditor," he said. "This type of corruption has long plagued the coal industry in southern West Virginia and must be stopped."
Greg Burton, Preident and CEO of BrickStreet issued the following statement in response to the charges.
"BrickStreet has been informed that it is one of the victims of a crime committed by a former employee working with a very small number of our policyholders, nearly all of which were owned or controlled by one family in Southern West Virginia. BrickStreet has been fully cooperating with and assisting the authorities in this investigation since we were first informed of it in August 2012. No BrickStreet policyholder lost money because of this crime. We are thankful to U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin and his office for the plea agreements that have been secured to date. We will continue to cooperate and support the prosecution of any individuals or companies who may be found to be involved with this incident to the fullest extent of the law. We are committed to fighting fraudulent activity that may impact our policyholders and we will take this same aggressive approach any time fraud is committed against BrickStreet."

In Detail
Nowadays, Agile application development is usually done at a fast pace when many developers are working on the same piece of code. Every so often, this becomes a real challenge if there's no permanent control over consistency of the project source. It is often impossible to force lazy and/or busy programmers to execute tests before and after each of their commits. Continuous Integration is a well-known life saver for distributed development environments with TeamCity being one of the best and easy-to-use instruments utilizing it.
"TeamCity 7 Continuous Integration Essentials" is the first book of its kind showing in a sequential approach — how to start implementing Continuous Integration — over generic projects and enclosing rich features of the TeamCity as a project gradually evolves.
Learn how to do a quick-start with TeamCity and suite most of the common needs right out of the box. As the project grows and more sophisticated requirements to the build process arise, the examples from this guide will assist you showing how to unleash TeamCity hidden powers and adjust advanced features to bring stability into the distributed development process.
You will learn how to start a new Java project from scratch generating a working "skeleton" of web application using Apache Maven and later adding some business logic and writing certain tests. After that, you will know how to perform a swift attach of TeamCity facilities to your project and eventually change it into rich featured information source describing the current state of your venture. If you want to benefit from Continuous Integration and are considering using TeamCity then this book is for you.
You will be acquainted with everything you need to know in order to apply Continuous Integration with TeamCity by installing it first, then turning on automatic supervision over project's reliability, and finally tuning up advanced settings in order to match your needs.
A step-by-step practical tutorial towards succesfully applying Continous Integration with TeamCity.
Who this book is for
This book is great for developers willing to start utilizing Continuous Integration on a daily basis and does not really care how experienced you are at your programming skills. You may not need to be a programmer at all in order to use all advantages of the TeamCity. Quality Assurance engineers would benefit from this book as there's enough information explaining how to maintain build configuration for tests and administer TeamCity Server. Even project managers and other managerial staff distanced from actual working with the code will find their value in TeamCity as they will be kept abreast of the project current status.

By KIM SMITH DEDAM, Press-Republican
---- — LAKE PLACID — The largest state land purchase in more than a century took place Sunday under a pen held by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The governor addressed a gathering of about 30 local and state officials at the Conference Center in Lake Placid and sealed a final transaction with The Nature Conservancy to buy 69,000 acres of former Finch, Pruyn and Company forest land.
The state will buy the land for $47,396,413 over the next five years.
The land purchase represents 5 percent of the Upper Hudson watershed, but does not include Follensby Park now owned by the Conservancy.
"I'm here for one reason," the governor allowed. "To sit at that table and sign the check."
Cuomo called the land transfer "a stellar accomplishment for all of us ... because this is going to make the (Adirondack) park even better – if that's possible."
He said the sense of harmony that exists in the natural world provides a lesson of balance.
"We need to conserve, we need to preserve." he said. "We also have occupations that we have to perform. We also need jobs."
Adding these 69,000 acres to state forest lands will expand public access to some of the finest hunting, fishing, paddling and hiking areas in the world — an opportunity that the governor suggests will "fuel tourism and fuel the legacy — this enhances the legacy that we leave for our children."
The purchase encompasses 10 tracts in all, to include Boreas Ponds, Essex Chain
of Lakes, the McIntyre Tract (at the southern border of the High Peaks region) and the OK Slip Tract in the heart of Adirondack wilderness.
Local government officials have fought against the intended purchase since its inception, arguing that lost forestry jobs and dispersion of hundreds of private hunting clubs will actually cost the Adirondack region hundreds of jobs.
In June, the Local Government Review Board petitioned Cuomo to put the core 65,000 acres of this deal in Department of Environmen
tal Conservation easement, citing the Gooley Club hunting property as one among 21 clubs that will lose leases in force for nearly a century.
"About 200 (hunting cabins) will be destroyed. Forestry uses will be prohibited along with virtually all commercial use. Hundreds of jobs will be lost," the Review Board said in statement two months ago.
"The state will pay tens of millions for the property. State taxpayers will then be required to pay real property taxes to the affected towns, counties and schools and the maintenance costs of the property."
Pete Trout, a member of the Gooley Club, made a video plea online, saying that the recreational club leases 15,000 acres.
"(Hunting) clubs are some of the most important small businesses in the region, contributing millions of dollars to the rural economies and are an important part of the cultural fabric of the Adirondack Park."
The Conservancy worked out 10-year lease extensions with the hunting clubs when Finch, Pruyn sold the property to them in 2007.
DEC Commissioner Joe Martens stood beside Cuomo when the transaction was signed Sunday.
Martens said lease agreements would be honored as the state pays for the property in increments over the next five years.
DEC did not say what order the land will be added to Forest Preserve.
They plan to use $13 million from the Environmental Protection Fund toward the purchase this fiscal year, Martens said.
The Review Board was not party to the signatory ceremony Sunday.
But Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward, a longtime critic of state land acquisitions, was there and said this purchase honored commitments made to the Conservancy a long time ago.
"We have been discussing this with DEC and, going forward, we've agreed that all purchases should be scrutinized (in accordance with local economic indicators) like this one was — what land should become forest preserve, where the snowmobile trails should go, what land should be kept in active timber management ... And DEC has committed to this," Sayward said.
Classification of each of the 10 tracts will go through unit management planning at DEC that will guide land use status assigned by the Adirondack Park Agency. Reclassification will involve extensive public hearings to glean community input, Martens said.
Conservancy's Adirondack Chapter Executive Director Mike Carr said extensive natural heritage inventories have been done and most of the property is currently in Resource Management.
The 10-tract addition to Forever Wild land was really the second chapter of a much larger plan.
The agreement signed Sunday conveys the final piece of 161,000 acres the Conservancy bought five years ago for $110 million in one of the most detailed land-use planning/real estate deals ever coordinated by any environmental group.
In December 2010, the state paid $30 million for conservation easements for public protection of 89,000 of the 92,000 acres the Conservancy sold for $32.8 million to ATP, a Danish pension fund.
Other, smaller parcels were sold to the towns of Newcomb and Long Lake with another sale of small acreage pending to Indian Lake.

The cardiac rehabilitation team at Summa Health System consists of highly skilled healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, physical therapists, registered dietitians and exercise physiologists, all working together to help you return to a healthy, active lifestyle. Our program is designed to help patients who have been diagnosed with cardiac disease or who have had a cardiac event recover more quickly and return to productive lives.
How will this program help me?
This program helps patients recover more quickly from a cardiac event or surgery and get back to doing the activities they enjoy through a combination of patient education, exercise and careful monitoring during exercise sessions.
Rehabilitation builds endurance and strength in patients who are recovering from surgery or other event. Studies have shown patients who choose to participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program recover more quickly and have better outcomes.
What can I expect during visits?
Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation - Inpatient
The Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation program at Summa provides immediate assistance to the hospitalized heart patient who is recovering after a surgical or medical procedure. Many important activities are started by the Phase I staff to ensure a rapid recovery and return home. These activities include breathing exercises and progressive walking exercises, as well as learning about diet and medications. It is important for family members to take part in many of these initial Phase I Cardiac Rehabilitation activities to help ensure that the patient will continue these important activities after returning home.
Phase II Cardiac Rehabilitation - Outpatient
The Phase II/Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation program begins with a physician's referral into the program. After communicating with the cardiac rehabilitation staff, the patient's doctor recommends a starting date for the patient to begin the Phase II program. This phase of cardiac rehabilitation is crucial because it helps the patient complete the process of recuperation that started at the hospital. Phase II also provides an opportunity to develop a personal heart disease prevention program with the help of the cardiac rehabilitation staff.
Phase III and IV Cardiac Rehabilitation - Exercise
