TEAMS: Denver Broncos, New York Giants
Tonight ESPN adds another documentary to their critically acclaimed library with the airing of "The Book of Manning." Of course the film has tons of footage of contemporary quarterback star brothers Peyton and Eli, but thanks to the urging of Manning matriarch Olivia, father Archie and oldest brother Cooper are also featured. The documentary delves into Archie's transition from quarterback superstar to father (of quarterback superstars, naturally) and Cooper opens up about his career-ending injury. The Manning's personal photos are also on display in the film for the first time and the 20 best are featured right here.

Life Force
This classic shooter, ported to the NES in August 1988, is a spin-off of the seminal Gradius series. Pilot the Vic Viper through six stages of intense action, alternating between horizontally and vertically scrolling environments, and take on wave after wave of enemies. Destroy particular enemies throughout the game—all of which takes place within the body of an enormous alien—to release power-up capsules and equip your ship with your choice of more powerful weapons, extra speed, and shields. Utilize the power-ups carefully, though, as a fearsome guardian lurks at the end of each stage and won't be easily defeated. You can go it alone or bring along a friend to take on the challenge simultaneously. Do you have what it takes to save your planet?

Yokogawa DAQ, display station
Yokogawa DXAdvanced R4 is a highly capable and fully integrated data acquisition and display station with network connectivity. It incorporates universal input measurement; color data display modes, and secure on-board data logging into a compact system. This is a Control Engineering North American edition Product Exclusive for April 2010.
Yokogawa DXAdvanced R4 is a highly capable and fully integrated data acquisition and display station with network connectivity. It incorporates universal input measurement; color data display modes, and secure on-board data logging into a compact system.
A wide range of process monitoring applications across many industries are supported. For the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, for example, the new advanced security option delivers full compliance with U.S. FDA regulation 21CFR Part 11, which allows all models to be used in any FDA program. This is complimented by a multi-batch option that allows channels to be grouped and recorded to discrete batch records with independent start and stop control. High capacity 400 MB internal flash memory is now standard, and the optional USB interface adds convenient data retrieval via USB memory and configuration with a USB keyboard.
With custom graphics, users can build display screens unique for their application. An alarm annunciator display using ISA sequencing is also included, allowing the DXAdvanced R4 to replace common lamp panel systems. Historical data review is much easier thanks to a calendar display and search tool, and enhanced trend history functions.
Open connectivity with control networks is supported with Modbus RTU and TCP, EtherNet/IP and Profibus DP protocols. DXAdvanced R4 can interface with PLCs and other control products as a data source or to add display and recording functions. An external input option can up to 300 additional inputs from external I/O, such as Yokogawa's MW100 data acquisition system, for 348 inputs total.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Two variable speed drives add efficiency to pumps, fans
Schneider Electric Altivar line adds two new models of variable speed drive (VSD) designed to make pumps and fans more energy efficient.
Schneider Electric announced the new Altivar 212 variable speed drive and the S-Flex enclosed version, designed to provide OEMs and control panel builders with energy efficient and economical solutions for pump and fan applications. The new ac drives adjust motor speed to the required flow of air or fluids, reducing energy costs by 50 percent. Engineered to provide additional cost savings, both the Alivar 212 and S-Flex feature electronic motor controls that reduce the mechanical stress on belts, piping and ductwork and eliminate valve or inlet guide vane maintenance, the company said.
By eliminating the need for throttling valves, dampers or inlet guide vanes that are typically used to control the flow of fluids, the Schneider Electric Altivar 212 and S-Flex also lower installation costs and maximize building occupant comfort with accurate flow control.
The compact size of Schneider Electric's Altivar 212 saves valuable panel space, while providing a high degree of performance and connectivity. It includes a full complement of integrated building automation networks and its reduced harmonic technology lowers component costs. Embedded reduced harmonic technology reduces the wire size and the size of upstream overcurrent protection devices and operates 10 percent more efficient than typical ac drives.
Additional features of the Alitvar 212 and S-Flex variable drives include:
- The drive's local/remote button which facilitiates a quick start-up
- An optional remote-mount English text keypad that speeds troubleshooting
- A lightweight S-Flex has a smaller enclosure size than its counterpart and features fewer points of electrical failure.
- Embedded communications (Modbus, Apogee FLN P1, Metasys N2, BacNet) and LonWorks available via option card.

The Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre renewed his call Thursday for armed guards in schools and urged gun owners to "stand and fight" for the Second Amendment.
In a speech billed as the NRA response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union call for new gun regulations, LaPierre noted in remarks to the National Wild Turkey Federation in Nashville that the speech didn't mention school security. He dismissed Obama's calls for background checks for all firearms purchases and bans on assault weapons and ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
"We will not be duped by the hypocrisy in the White House or the Congress who would deny our right to semi-automatic technology and the magazines we need to defend ourselves and our families," he said.
LaPierre said the proponents' real intentions would be to "ban every gun they can, tax every gun sold and register every gun owner."
George Thornton, the CEO of the National Wild Turkey Federation, said his group agrees with LaPierre's positions, even though not all of the gun-control proposals would directly affect hunters.
"You really don't need large clips for hunting," he said. "However, I have a very strong belief when you start to limit things, that the limits continue to chip away."
LaPierre also said a universal background check would not stop criminals or the mentally ill from getting firearms.
"Even when prohibited people are flagged by the system now, they are almost never stopped," he said.
Mark Kelly, husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head in 2011, said that background checks are a simple and fair way to keep children safe.
While LaPierre was critical of the president in the speech, the remarks were milder than sentiments he expressed in an opinion piece published this week by The Daily Caller, in which he predicted the president's financial policies will lead to chaos.

July 28, 2014
BECKLEY, W.Va. (AP) - The former superintendent of West
Virginia's Upper Big Branch mine has pleaded guilty to a federal
fraud charge.
Gary May of Bloomingrose faces up to five years in prison.
Sentencing is set for Aug. 9.
May pleaded guilty Thursday before U.S. District Judge Irene
Berger in Beckley to conspiracy to defraud the federal government.
The charge stems from his actions at the former Massey Energy mine where 29 men died April 5, 2010.
Prosecutors say May disabled a methane monitor, falsified
records and manipulated the ventilation system to fool inspectors.
May is the highest-ranking company official chargedin connection
with the blast.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — The Tonawanda City School Board anonymously approved the sale of Central School to David Capretto for $220,000 during the body's special meeting Tuesday night.
The sale is subject to a voter referendum to be held on May 21, along with the school board elections and budget vote.
Capretto is the president of Forbes Capretto, a custom home building company, and he plans to turn the school into an apartment building, according to district officials.
"Anything that can go onto our tax rolls is a plus for the community," Superintendent James Newton said. "This is a very reputable builder and we believe it is a win win for everyone. It will definitely help us out financially."
Further details about the apartments were not released, but there will be no low-income criteria for residency in the building. Newton said Capretto hopes to capitalize on the building's proximity to the river and city's downtown area.
Under the contract, the district will rent out space in the building, including the climate-controlled room used to store files, for $3,500 per year. The district has been paying much more than that fee to keep the structure up and running.
"We are currently paying $1,000 per month to maintain the building ... which includes heat and electric," board President Jackie Smilinich said.
Board member Robert Starr said he was worried about renting out the building's space and having to build a climate-controlled room in the future. In response, Smilinich suggested building a climate-controlled room in the middle and high school complex as part of the capital project— as the district has to decide how to spend an extra $1 million as part of the project.
Although the board's vote was anonymous, there was debate over the sale — as the city council had previously appointed a committee to review the possibility of turning the building into a community center.
"The city is the only one that doesn't have a community building in the area, and I think that's a crime, " Gayle Syposs said at Tuesday's meeting.
But according to the board, city officials said twice that they were not interested in the property.
"They didn't know the building was in such great shape, and received misinformation about it," Syposs said. "But I totally understand the board's position and am disgusted that the city did not do their due diligence ... that's not any of your faults."
Syposs said her committee will continue to meet and put together a concrete proposal for the building until the referendum vote.
And although the notion of a community building was appealing to the board, members said they couldn't refuse the offer without the city's concrete proposal — which it has yet to give.
"If we refuse this, and they say no again, then who knows if we could get another offer with this storage rate?" board member Sharon Stuart asked.
The board began discussing the sale of the building in October, and listed the school at the beginning of January for $325,000. The 34,720-square-foot building hasn't been used as a full-time educational facility for more than 10 years.
Last spring, the district sold another former school, Highland elementary, to S. Spoth, LLC in an auction for substantially less than its original listing price of $440,000. People Inc. planned to use the building for apartments, but the plans have yet to be approved and finalized, and the large school still sits vacant.Contact reporter Jessica Bagley at 693-1000, ext. 4150, or follow her on Twitter at @JessicaLBagley

This undated photo provided by Nathen and Emily Steffel shows their infant daughter, Sophia. Days after Sophia died in a Cincinnati hospital from complications of a liver tumor, Nathen Steffel asked users on Reddit if someone could alter the hospital photo to remove the tubes attached on her face and wrists. So far, they have received thousands of messages expressing support and hundreds of photos. (AP Photo/Steffel Family) / AP
Photoshopped image of Nathan Steffel's daughter Sophia / Photo: Reddit
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) Just days after his infant daughters death, Nathen Steffel asked strangers on the Internet for only one thing: He and his wife wanted a photo of their daughter without the breathing tubes and tape that masked her little face.
The response has been overwhelming.
Hundreds of photos, sketches and paintings have poured into the familys northwestern Ohio home and their inbox.
Im getting messages in languages from all over the world, Steffel said Wednesday. Its more than I can count.
His daughter, Sophia, died last Thursday at a Cincinnati hospital from complications of a tumor in her liver, six weeks after she was born in Columbus. She was awaiting a transplant when she died.
Her father posted a message on Reddit asking if anyone could use their photo of Sophia in the hospital and remove the tubes attached to her face and wrist. Since she was in the hospital her whole life we never were able to get a photo without all her tubes, he wrote.
It started because I just wanted one picture, said Steffel, who lives in the village of Kalida with his wife, Emily, and their two sons.
He initially was not sure about posting the request online because he was worried someone might respond rudely. I guess the best has outweighed the negative, he said.
So far, they have received thousands of messages expressing support and hundreds of photos. Someone else is sending a woven blanket with Sophias picture.
David Valdez, who has been painting portraits for several years, made a digital painting of Sophia within a few hours of seeing her fathers message.
I was having a bad day when I saw this guy asking for a photo. I just started painting, said Valdez, a college student from New Braunfels, Texas. It brought me some sort of sense of relief to help someone out.
Steffel said his family now has more memories of their daughter than they could have imagined, he said.
Its kept me and my wife occupied reading all these messages, Steffel said. Keeping our minds off things.

Crisp Text Editor
First, a history lesson. Crisp was originally a shareware product, written by Paul Fox, of London, UK. It is a clone of Brief, an MS-DOS product marketed by Borland, and was originally released in 1988. The last shareware release, 2.2e, was in 1991. Fox, who is also known to the Linux community as the initiator of the NOTIF project, was disappointed with the low shareware income. He was also aware that he had an excellent product on his hands. So, version 3 of Crisp was released in 1992 as a commercial product; the initial Linux version is 4.1.9. It is available on a number of platforms, including Sun, AIX, SCO, HP, Univel, Windows 3.1, and Windows NT. Both character and X-Windows versions are available for Linux.
The original designer of Brief paid a great deal of attention to ergonomics. Crisp is easy to learn: the only thing you really need to know to get started is that <alt>x saves files and exits. Once you've got that down, <alt>l is used to block lines, and <alt>c is used to block columns. The + key on the numeric keypad is used to copy a block, and the - key on the numeric keypad is used to cut a block. If no block is defined, the current line is copied or cut. Blocks are then inserted using the <insert> key. The <home> key takes the cursor to the beginning of the current line, and the <end> key takes the cursor to the end of the current line. <PageUp>, <PageDown>, and the "arrow" keys perform their obvious functions. <alt>h gives you help.
To list all of the features of Crisp would make this a very long article. It has just about all of the capabilities of Emacs, but it is, in my opinion, much more user-friendly than Emacs. It's easier to customize, and the documentation and on-line help are much easier to deal with. It is much easier to install. Both Crisp and Emacs have macro languages, but Crisp's is C-like, as opposed to the lisp language for Emacs. From my personal point of view, Crisp has one key feature that Emacs lacks: when you exit Crisp, it remembers all of the files that you were editing, the position of the cursor in each file, and, for the X-Windows version, the size of the window. Not only that, but it keeps a separate "record" for each working directory that you edit files in. You can edit one set of files in directory /a, save and exit, cd to directory /b, edit another set of files, save and exit, and cd back to /a, and edit the first set of files without losing your place. Even search strings are carried over.
Version 2.2e (the final shareware version) has been ported to Linux. It can be found on sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/apps/editors.
At first glance, the look and feel of the current version of Crisp is not very different from the old shareware version. The first thing you'll notice that's different is that if you're editing a C program, the comments will be in a different color from the rest of the text. The big difference comes when you press <F5> to do a search: you can recall previous search strings by pressing the <up-arrow> key. Also, searches can "wrap" as they do in vi. The "context memory" works better: the shareware version remembered only the last file edited, but the commercial version remembers all files. The commercial version has optional pull-down menus.
There are other improvements that are less obvious, but very important. The on-line help has a professional look, rather than a shareware look, and the product is generally tighter.
The shareware version of Crisp includes an X-Windows version, but Paul Fox describes it as "How I Learned to do X-Windows Programming". It works OK, but it's very rudimentary: no menus or icons, and the mouse support is incomplete.
The Linux commercial version uses XView. Crisp has been implemented with Motif on some other platforms. This was not done for Linux for practical business reasons: the number of Linux users that have purchased Motif libraries is small, and of these, the number who would shell out money to purchase Crisp would be even smaller.
I regard this as a minor drawback. I have an SCO system at work, and use the Motif version of Crisp on it eight or nine hours a day. I prefer the Motif look-and-feel over XView, although people with Sun backgrounds may feel differently.
Anyway, I said "minor" drawback. The XView version certainly works, and Crisp has been designed to take maximum advantage of this environment. The mouse can be used to move the cursor, and cut and paste text. Above the text window is a row of color icons that can be clicked to activate the most commonly used functions: search/replace, switching files, recording and playing macros, etc. At the top of the Crisp window is a set of pull-down menus that can be used to do anything (as far as I know) that Crisp is capable of doing, including make, grep, and reading e-mail. There are vertical and horizontal scroll-bars for text editing and on-line help windows. There's an option for a separate "toolkit" window with a more extensive set of mouse-activated commands. It is possible to peel off additional editing windows.
There are also dialog boxes for functions like opening files and search/replace. The dialog boxes, fortunately, are configurable. I suspect that most users will want the dialog boxes turned on when they are learning their way around Crisp, and they will gradually turn them off. One reason is that you can get more work done without the dialog boxes. Another reason is that if you have a window manager that always makes the window under the cursor the active window (I use fvwm), you may type something like a file name into a dialog box, and discover that you have accidentally edited your text instead, because the mouse was pointing in the wrong place.
The major "ooh, ahh" feature for the X-Windows version of Crisp is colorization. As with the character version, comments are shaded. Language keywords, such as if, case, and int, appear in blue. Strings appear in red. These color choices are customizable, and there are, of course, templates for languages other than C, including Ada, COBOL, and SQL.
Crisp has vi emulation. With the X-Windows version, the vi commands and the GUI features are interchangeable.
As I said, discussing all of the features of Crisp would make this a very long article. I will mention a few that I don't have any personal experience with, but the developers are very proud of.
PostScript program listings: If you have a PostScript printer, or ghostscript, Crisp will attempt to simulate the language colorization by using shading, boldface, etc. If you have a color PostScript printer, you'll get a really fancy listing.
Filter mechanism: Clicking an icon will execute a predefined command, such as a compiler, and the contents of the current file become the input to that command. Crisp opens another window, and the output of the command appears in that window.
Asynchronous mechanism: External programs can write commands that Crisp can understand, such as "edit__file" or "goto_line" to a file named cr.async. The external program can then send signal -16 or -17 to the Crisp process, and Crisp will execute the commands. (If your external program cannot send signals, it's possible to configure Crisp to look for the cr.async file every few seconds.)
Re: Review: Crisp Text Editor
I purchased Crisp in April 2003 and while I am really happy
with the colorization and the brief feel I think the product is quite buggy and not completely tested; I had quick good feedback from the developers but the menus dissapear (without the possibility of recovering them), search doesn't seem to be reliable and grep locks up; overall and in retrospect I am unhappy with it. Bets vi, though.
Crisp is the best
I have been using Crisp since 1999 and I've never wanted another editor. It is possible to recover from odd settings, just a case of renaming the settings folder so it re-creates it as the default settings.
It is worth the money, nothing in the shareware/freeware world compares.
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.

The Lynnfield Art Guild (LAG) proudly continues its season with a demonstration of watercolor painting by Danvers artist Karen Nastuk on Thursday, February 21st at 7:00 PM at the Lynnfield Senior Center, 525 Salem Street, Lynnfield. Karen Nastuk holds a BA in Fine Arts from Fairleigh Dickenson University.
Soon after graduating, she began studying watercolor with David Millard. Later, she continued her studies with Margaret Laurie and Betty Lou Schlemm. Karen is able to draw just about anything from memory, a talent she attributes to her many years of keeping a journal with sketches. Her paintings regularly win awards at local shows. To view some of her paintings which are at the Topsfield Salt Box Gallery, see www.saltboxgallery.net .
Karen states, "I can put an idea into an easy-to-understand, visual form, whether it's a cartoon, a diagram, a series of illustrations, or a full-scale painted realistic vision." Karen uses many styles and subjects for her work - line drawings in pencil or pen, watercolor botanicals, buildings (both interior and exterior), and portraits of people and animals. She feels that watercolors are her best medium because they are liberating and natural. Karen is a popular teacher of drawing and painting and is on the faculty of the Essex Art Center.
The public is invited to attend this and all monthly LAG demonstrations for the nominal fee of $3, which include refreshments and the opportunity to meet area artists. The LAG has over 175 members in art, crafts and photography from over 25 area communities. Membership, which is just $20 per year, includes the privilege of participating in the winter and spring annual shows. For more information, please call 781-334-6765.

City receives $50 million in new markets tax credits
Partnership with Central Bank brings federal funds for urban core development
The U.S. Department of Treasury has awarded the City of Kansas City, Mo., in partnership with Central Bank of Kansas City, $50 million in new markets tax credits.
The new markets tax credit program allows taxpayers to receive a credit against federal income taxes for making qualified equity investments in designated community development entities. The development entities are required to use substantially all those funds to make loans or investments in businesses operating in distressed census tracts located within the city limits.
"This is great news for Kansas City," said Mayor Mark Funkhouser. "These new markets tax credits will help the City with its economic development efforts in neighborhoods that need it most. I want to thank the Department of the Treasury, the Central Bank and our congressional delegation for their efforts in securing these resources."
The federal funds complement the City's new Economic Development and Incentive Policy by serving as a capital source for investment in small businesses and distressed areas in the urban core. New markets tax credit investments will be made in low-income communities, which are defined as any population census tract in which at least 20 percent of its population is at the poverty level or the area median income is not more than 80 percent of the statewide of metropolitan area median income.
The application process for the tax credit began in September 2006 when the City's chief financial officer/director of the Finance Department and the Development Finance Division of the Finance Department engaged Paul O'Hanlon of the Kutak Rock law firm to assist with the City's application. Central Bank of Kansas City then agreed to partner with the City. The City's Development Finance Division prepared potential projects for the application, while Central Bank identified investors for the credits.
"This award represents more than 13 months of work by City staff and Central Bank," said City Manager Wayne A. Cauthen. "These projects will have a tremendous impact on future investment in Kansas City's urban core."
Central Bank of Kansas City President Bill Dana said allocation of the funds will be targeted at specific projects. "The new markets tax credit allocation will be used to fill financing gaps in high-impact, primarily mixed-use redevelopment projects. The use of these funds will be determined on a per project basis."
A seven-member investment advisory board will oversee the allocation of the funds. The City will appoint four of the seven members, including the chairperson.
For more information, call Dan Bagunu, Finance Department, (816) 513-1033.

Hardin County Illinois Deputy Killed in Crash
Monday, February 13, 2006 2:58 PM CST
By Brian DeNeal
Staff Writer Harrisburg Daily Register
ELIZABETHTOWN - Hardin County Sheriff's Deputy Elizabeth Edwards, 26, Rosiclare, was killed when her car struck a tree in Elizabethtown Sunday morning.
The sheriff's department received a report of the accident at 7:45 a.m. Sunday, according to Renee Stark, secretary to Sheriff Carl Cox.
Edwards struck the tree on state Route 146 just inside the Elizabethtown city limits while responding to a reported motor vehicle accident on Tower Rock Road, Stark said.
"We're not sure exactly what happened. It is under investigation by the State Police at this time. She somehow lost control of the car and hit a tree.
"It could be she hit a piece of black ice on the road, we don't know," Stark said.
Cox Funeral Home was finalizing funeral arrangements this morning.
Edwards was hired as a full-time deputy in January. Last year she worked for the department as a dispatcher and then became a bailiff at the courthouse.
"She became intrigued with law enforcement after being around it with court security and eventually decided, if we would send her, she would go through the training to become a full-time officer," Stark said.
Edwards was still in training in Carbondale and would likely have completed her training in the summer.
Edwards was the daughter of Nancie "Susie" Edwards of Rosiclare and A. Wayne and Michelle Edwards of Cave-In-Rock. She had two sisters, Waynette Bryant of Saline County and Shealean Cullum, who is a full-time dispatcher with the Hardin County Sheriff's Department.

Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Measurement
Passive intermodulation (PIM) is a form of intermodulation distortion that occurs in passive components such as antennas, cables, connectors, or duplexers with two or more high-power input signals. PIM in the transmission path degrades quality of the wireless communication system.
PIM is becoming a critical parameter recently due to installation of new technologies in wireless communication industries such as higher RF transmission power, multiband operation with a shared common antenna, or wider bandwidth signals with higher probability of PIM in the receiver band.
To help you achieve higher-performance and low-cost test solution, Agilent has the solution that combines PIM and S-parameter measurements of passive components by using the vector network analyzer (VNA).

Police say a 50-year-old Long Beach woman who was riding her bike across Bellflower Boulevard Tuesday night when she was struck by a van has died of her injuries, and two Patch readers said she was a local and reliable dog walker.
The woman, 50, was not named pending the notification of relatives, Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman Nancy Pratt said via an e-mailed press release. Late Wednesday night, the L.A. County Coroner's Office said her family had not been reached, so Patch is withholding her name.
New information released by LBPD Wednesday stated that the bicyclist was crossing Bellflower just outside the crosswalk and against a red light.
As she rode west on Atherton and on the north side of the street, she entered the intersection "on a solid red light" and was struck by a Honda Odyssey, which had the right-of-way, Pratt wrote in the release.
The accident occured about 7:40 p.m. Tuesday, and left the woman in the roadway, where the Odyssey van driver tried to aid her and called 9-1-1, Pratt said. The van driver was a 19-year-old Los Alamitos resident who was interviewed, and not cited. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital but died about four hours later.
A few Patch readers had already heard of the woman's passing hours after Patch's first story posted, and described the deceased as an exceedingly kind and thoughtful dog walker who texted and emailed photos of her charges to their human companions.
One of the deceased's clients said she was suspicious of the scenario police released, writing:
"She was a wonderful person. She was very responsible and caring. She loved animals and appreciated them all for their unique personalities. She was very good about keeping the owners updated with photos and texts about their pets while in her care. A kind, generous soul whose goodness will be missed."
Of the assertion that her dog walker ran a red light on a very large and busy intersection:
"In my experience, she did things by the book. She showed up at exactly the time she was supposed to, and left exactly on time. She was very responsible or I would not have hired her to care for my pets. She was not the type to cut corners ... or in this case, run a red light.
"She rode her bike to and from my house wearing a helmet on a bike equipped with a flashing light and reflectors. I was not there [at the crash], but I take exception to the blame being placed on the victim that has no voice in this matter. She has suffered the most costly sacrifice, the loss of her life, and there are too many accusations and opinions flying around. I think the investigation should continue.
"People know where she was coming from (a client's home) and riding to, at the time of the accident. The driver should not be the only witness or be taken at face value in this matter....Not saying he is guilty either; it may have truly been an accident."
The client said her dog walker leaves behind cats and a dog that had to be taken to an animal shelter that is only temporary, and her pets will need adoption.
Police asked that anyone with information about the crash contact Long Beach Police Accident Investigation Detective Brian Watt at (562) 570-7355. Anonymous tips may be submitted by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), texting TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or visiting www.lacrimestoppers.org.

Stocks ended broadly lower. The Dow fell 186 points to 7,790. The S&P lost 20 points and the Nasdaq was down 45 points.
Wall Street is extending its losses into a second day as investors refrain from making big bets ahead of first-quarter earnings reports.
Analysts attributed the pullback to profit-taking after a huge advance in March that gave the Dow Jones industrials their best four-week performance in more than 75 years.
Investors are still waiting on more details on the health of the financial industry and are focused keenly on bank earnings that start coming in next week. Meanwhile, aluminum giant Alcoa kicks off earnings season with its report Tuesday afternoon.
At midday, the Dow is down 135 to 7,839. The Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 11 to 823, while the Nasdaq composite index is down 24 to 1,582.

All per the terms of service that everyone agrees to upon sign-up.
This makes it easier for all of those that take the time to create their user profiles to now be seen more often and show up higher in the search order.
In the future this process will be automated and users will be expected to interact with the 1ProCrew.Com database at least once every 6 months or their accounts will be deleted automatically.
For those that feel they were removed in error please feel free to re-add yourself to the photo production database.

It's been 3 days since the lights went out here in the East Village - NYC. due to a lighting strike that blew up a transformer at the Con Edison facility on 14 Street here on the east side of Manhattan. This means that most of us living below 25 street both east and west side are with out power, heat, hot water, and in some cases cell phone service. Cell service appears to be working for some networks; but for me I need to walk up town to 24th and Madison before I can get an ATT cell phone signal. This is what we call "Camping in NYC."
Word is that we MIGHT get power back sometime on Monday next week
Last night I woke up in the middle of the night to find this bright that I'd never seen before lighting up the front of my building and the entire street. I went to the window to find that it was the full moon and a sky full of stars. With out the lighting that typically pollutes the manhattan night sky I was looking at a pitch black sky full of star light and a bright moon on a scale that I have not seen since I was in the Kalahari dessert in South Africa 16 years ago.
For all of the negative impressions people have of NYC. I have to say that I feel safer walking around late at night on the pitch black streets of NYC. with nothing but a flash light; than I ever felt walking on the empty streets of Boston (when I lived there) at night even when those streets had street lights on. Truth is people in NYC. know how to live together and in most cases don't fuck with you unless you are causing them or others a problem.
I'v been lucky enough to be doing a studio management gig up on 28th street for the last 2 days which always me internet access, cell phone and laptop recharging and a hot shower and hot food.

Meeting in front of an abandoned storefront in East Patchogue on Wednesday morning, county Republican legislators along with county executive candidate Angie Carpenter laid out a "road map" for the county moving forward, offering a six-point plan that includes consolidating government services, improving oversight to eliminate waste, and building a more business-friendly bureaucracy.
The Republican plan is titled "LIJOBS" - an acronym espousing six different principles - and was presented in contrast to Democrat and county exec candidate , which was presented on Aug. 1. A .pdf version of the plan is attached to this article.
"My solution really does differ from the Democratic plan in that it is grounded in reality," said Carpenter. The current county treasurer admitted to having first seen the plan on Tuesday, though added that, "it's not about innovation zones. It's not about a task force. It's not about a committee to decide which business goes in the zones. It's about cutting bureaucracy and red tape and making government work for the people."
While the plan does propose bureaucracy-cutting measures such as consolidating divisions within the County Department of Health Services, as well as combining the Planning Department with the Environment and Energy Department, additions to county government are also proposed, such as creating an Inspector General's office and a government oversight committee.
No firm numbers were available on what each specific measure would save or cost the county, in terms of dollar amounts of jobs gained or lost, though Legis. Ed Romaine, R-Center Moriches, said a plan to sell off tax liens could net the county $65 million. Legislators did, however, announce that another press conference next week would further detail Republican's stances on County Executive Steve Levy's 2012 budget proposal, which dovetails with the LIJOBS plan.
"The first thing we start with is the most basic thing the county government does, or any government does, and that's the budget," said Minority Leader John Kennedy, R-Nesconset. "We set the tone, we set the priority, we set the course forward for 2012 … Where in particular in the budget? We'll take a hard look at some of the things we just talked about."
Rich Schaffer, chairman of the County Democratic Committee, on Wednesday called Carpenter's plan a "parrot" of Bellone's plans.
"A lot of it is just general fluff," he said. "We could call that an endorsement, though. We have endorsed the idea of streamlining the health department and jump-starting infrastructure. A lot of it was either rehash or recycled based off what we spoke of."

Last year Yan posted a photo at JGPF with Josh Farris and Jason Brown (1, 2, 3), in which he stood in the middle and stuck both hands in front while the other boys held their arms behind him. He said something like "Didn't know where to put my hands. Awkward!"
I don't know a thing about humor in Chinese culture, but cat and podium humor have universal charm.
Many Chinese skaters tend to be rather wooden with their facial expressions. It seems to take them awhile to let loose on the ice and open up and show emotion.
Watch this program that Han Yan skated at about 10 or 11 years old. You will see he has everything. Not only the technique, but also the presentation.
I am sorry that you don't get my point in a more positive way. But at least you agree that Han can skate well presentation wise even when he was only 10 or 11 years old. So my actual point is that what Han needs now is a good program that can inspire and motivate him. His lack of presentation is not a capability issue.
What they could do at 10 or 11 is not relevant. Han's focus should be on bringing out what he can do. I don't think anyone ever suggested he wasn't capable of presenting, just that he needed to work on it.
Han's PCS marks would indicate he's pretty good in the the presentation category already. I agree with posters saying it's more an issue of having the right vehicle and programs. I am a fan of Yan's SP this season but not so much the FS. He is a powerful skater and I think powerful, dramatic music is good for him - the tango he pulls off very well. While Masquerade is powerful I find it a bit too monotonous, which is accentuated with the way Yan's program is layed out. I think David Wilson could create a great program to highlight Yan's strengths.
I am a gushy "uber". Love him, love his waltz-axels, tons of potential here. Wld be fun to see him train outside of China, of course Orser wld be ideal, but wld be interesting to see him as TAT's pet. Or even with Carroll. The Russian commentators on 4cc said he's world champion material, and that's one of the few sane things they said.
pretty girl!!
Yeah he has the most interesting weibo among the Chinese skaters IMO
I doubt any skater will get to train abroad for extended period of time, a few male skaters did attend a summer training camp in Colorado Springs recently though. Before this season started, a federation official mentioned getting foreign choreographer for YAN Han but it apparently did not happen.
CBC showed the 4CC men's field today, and the commentators were raving about his jumps, especially the distance he covers on his jumps and how true his lutz is. Tracy Wilson said that she sees real musicality in his lower body, but that his upper body and face don't yet express that. They both agreed with what the Russian commentators said (thanks, MorganaLefay for the quote), that he could be eventual world championship material. I agree.
It will be really interesting to see how he develops as a skater.
I am intrigued to follow this talented young skater in future years. And he has a great smile (when he shows it!)
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them. Publilius Syrus
Han has everything he needs to be a contender on the World stage, as a senior. He's not even 17 yet and it's all there already. Now it just comes down to harnessing and making the most of his abilities, developing more consistency, control, and maturity, which is likely to come, at least in part, naturally with age. What really stands out to me though is his power! It's rare you see a skater that young with that kind of power and command of the ice. He is a small guy too, a sturdy physique for his age, but really still very small framed, compact, making his explosiveness that much more . He could really be something special in a few years time I think.

The Bottom Line
Shortmail emphasizes easy, fast and effective communication with an email service limited, essentially, to 500 characters per message.
Longer emails can be forwarded, and Shortmail offers simple but effective tools to organize and find mail. Still, hassling senders the way Shortmail does is not without peril, and you may wish for better productivity tools.
Shortmail is no longer available.
- Without ballast and vouching for brevity, Shortmail may foster better and more frequent updates, notices and emails
- Shortmail offers IMAP and POP access in desktop and mobile email programs as well as other email services
- Keyboard shortcuts make Shortmail on the web effective to use
- Shortmail bothering people trying to send your longer emails need not bring more good than harm
- Without features to sort, label and organize mail and few search operators, Shortmail may be ill-suited for some tasks
- Shortmail does not quote at all in email replies and adds an image to outgoing (rich-text) email
- Shortmail is a free email service that emphasizes simplicity and brevity.
- Emails sent to and from Shortmail must not exceed 500 characters (about five typical sentences). Quoted text does not count.
- When a sender mails more, their message is quarantined.
- You can recover mail from your Shortmail quarantine to another email address manually or automatically for known senders
- In addition, the long email's sender is alerted and gets a chance to curb their existing message to fit within Shortmail's limits.
- Shortmail normalizes all mail to legible plain text.
- On the web, Shortmail organizes mail by contact, group and thread.
- Email with which you've dealt is archived easily. Global search finds it (and what's left in your inbox) reasonably fast.
- Silencing a conversation has future messages in it go to the Shortmail archive immediately, skipping the inbox.
- You can also snooze a conversation until later, when it will automatically turn up in the Shortmail inbox.
- Keyboard shortcuts make operating Shortmail effective.
- Where possible, Shortmail lets you know whether an email you sent has been opened.
- Shortmail includes simple contact management. Gmail address books can be imported easily.
- Connecting Shortmail to Gmail email imports short messages automatically from the Gmail inbox and forwards long messages automatically from the Shortmail quarantine.
- It's possible to make conversations publicly visible on the web and, optionally, allow anybody to comment.
- Shortmail is available for access and use in email programs (and other email services) via IMAP, POP and SMTP. For iOS, a special client is available, and some email programs (e.g., Sparrow) offer Shortmail character counters.

Eastleigh through to finals of Gales Bowl
4:00am Tuesday 21st January 2014 in Sport By Clive Downton, Rugby correspondent and sub-editor
Eastleigh got special permission to play their Gales HSB Hampshire Bowl match against Guernsey side St Jacques instead of an outstanding league match – and the decision paid off.
The London 3 South-West side moved into the semi-finals of the competition with a 28-6 victory.
Eastleigh were the home side but flew out to the Channel Islands – a kind gesture on St Jacques' part rather than anything to do with the weather!
St Jacques played well for the first ten minutes of each half but never really bothered Eastleigh in wet and windy conditions.
Eastleigh's scores came courtesy of a penalty try, with Adam Gallagher, Geordie Weatherall and Huw Toner crossing the line and Jon Lynch slotting home four conversions.
Captain Russell Smith – named Pipestock man of the match – said: "It was an excellent result considering the weather conditions and journey. St Jacques played well but our dominant forwards and positional kicking won us the game."

Superior 6x6 all-wheel drive technology, AMG V8 biturbo power and looks that leave no room for any doubt: the Mercedes-Benz G 63 AMG 6x6 near-series show vehicle is an off-roader which represents the last word in forward-thrusting power far from the beaten track. 400 kW (544 hp), a 6x6 drive, low-range ratio, five differential locks, portal axles, tyre pressure control system and a special chassis allow this pickup to make good progress in environments where the concept of individual mobility normally bites the dust as soon as the road ends.

Good afternoon.
This is your First Selectman Fillmore McPherson with the final update on Hurricane Sandy. As of now, Sunday afternoon, CL&P has made significant progress so that 96% percent of you have power.
There are still a few pockets which they are working on. We appreciate their efforts over the last 24 hours.
For some of you whose power has been restored, they may have to interrupt the flow for a short time as they perform some switching functions. If your outage lasts longer than 15 minutes, or if you are among the 4% without power, I suggest you call the CL&P trouble line, 1-800-286-2000 to confirm your outage.
This is the only number you should use. If you were given another number via the rumor mill, you should disregard it and call 1-800-286-2000.
In closing, this has been a difficult event, but no one in Madison lost their life and I am not aware of any significant injury. Thank you for your efforts in pulling together to weather the crisis. Goodbye.
From CL&P:
Connecticut Light & Power (CL&P) employees and utility responders from across the country and Canada continue to make significant progress in responding to the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. Power has been restored to more than 785,000 CL&P customers so far, and 97 percent of CL&P customers now have power. All efforts are now focused on the approximately 43,000 customers who remain without power.
"Today's efforts have been concentrated in the communities hardest hit by Sandy's high winds and flooding," said Bill Quinlan, CL&P Senior Vice President of Emergency Preparedness. "Many large area outages have been restored, and crews are diligently working to restore all customers. In some areas, this effort requires that entire sections of the electric distribution system be rebuilt from scratch."
With Election Day quickly approaching, CL&P continues to closely coordinate with the Secretary of the State's office to restore power to polling places.
Restoration estimates by town are available online at www.cl-p.com. As crews are dispatched to make specific repairs, the estimated restoration times for those repairs will be updated under the "My Outage Status" link online and at 800-286-2000.
Homes or businesses that have experienced flooding or other storm related damage may need to be inspected by local building officials before CL&P can safely restore power to these structures. Customers whose homes or businesses have sustained damage of this nature should contact their local building inspector as soon as possible.
As CL&P works to rebuild and reenergize the electric system, customers are reminded to continue to treat all downed wires – and tree limbs that are in contact with wires – as live, and should stay at least 10 feet away.
Treasury and IRS Expand Availability of Housing
for Hurricane Sandy Victims
IR-2012-86, Nov. 4, 2012
WASHINGTON — As part of the administration's continued support for states and local partners impacted by Hurricane Sandy, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service today announced that they will waive low-income housing tax credit rules that prohibit owners of low-income housing from providing housing to victims of Hurricane Sandy who do not qualify as low-income. The action will expand the availability of housing for disaster victims and their families.
Because of the widespread devastation to housing caused by Hurricane Sandy, the Treasury Department and the IRS will temporarily suspend income limitation requirements and non-transient requirements for qualified low-income housing projects that provide housing to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The President has declared that major disasters exist in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, making federal funding available to affected individuals in designated counties through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster. FEMA has also approved Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA) in New York and New Jersey for eligible disaster survivors who have a continuing need for shelter because they are unable to return to their homes for an extended period of time. Individuals and business owners who sustained losses can apply for assistance from FEMA by calling 1-800-621-FEMA (3362) via mobile device at m.fema.gov, or online at www.disasterassistance.gov.

Paying a high school football visit to the variety store...
Passing fancy
In mirroring the National Football League and college football, the passing game has become a bigger part of football at the high school level than ever before.
Fans of the game at the high school level will see two significant rules changes, both in regards to the passing game, commencing with the 2013 season.
Both changes deal with the penalty for pass interference, on both sides of the football.
Starting this fall, the penalty for the infraction will be reduced.
While the 15-yard penalty will remain in effect for both defensive and offensive pass interference, the changes coming into play in regards to downs.
The automatic first down, a trademark for defensive pass interference infractions at every level for seemingly forever, has been eliminated.
Along those lines, the automatic loss of down for offensive pass interference, has also been taken out. That change will not be as readily apparent to fans as offensive pass interference is rarely called, even more so when compared to the number of penalty flags that are tossed for defensive infractions.
"Offensive and defensive pass interference and the penalty structure related to these fouls has been debated many times in recent years," Brad Garrett, chairman of the National Federation of High School Sports Football Rules Committee and assistant executive director of the Oregon School Activities Association, said. "Proposals that either deleted the loss of down or the automatic first down – but not both – failed to gain support among committee members.
"The proposal to eliminate both components, thus not upsetting the balance between offense and defense, was the key factor in the adoption of the new rule."
Helmet issues
In an effort to continue minimizing the risk of injury in high school football, three additional rules will take effect this season to address helmets coming off players' heads during games.
As a followup to last year's rules change that required players to sit out one play if their helmet comes off while the ball was live, the committee approved three additional rules that are extensions of last year's change.
An illegal personal contact foul was added to state that "no player or non-player shall initiate contact with an opposing player whose helmet has come completely off."
Additionally, a new listing will state that it is illegal participation "for a player whose helmet comes completely off during a down to continue to participate beyond the immediate action in which the player is engaged."
Bob Colgate, NFHS director of sports and sports medicine, explained the additions.
"With its continued focus on risk minimization, the committee determined that a helmet-less player shall not block, tackle or otherwise participate beyond the immediate action in which the player is engaged when the helmet came completely off," he said"The penalty would be a live-ball, basic-spot foul."
The NFHS Football Rules Committee also added language that states that if the helmet comes completely off during the down or subsequent dead-ball action related to the down – and is not directly attributable to a foul by the opponent – the player must leave the game for at least one down.
Th exceptions will be at halftime or overtime session. When this occurs, an official's timeout shall be called.
"Player safety has been and will continue to be the top priority for members of the NFHS Football Rules Committee," Garrett said. "These rules changes regarding helmet-less players are more examples of the group's commitment to minimize risk within the game."
