Cloudera Honored Among The Americas' 100 Most Innovative Startups By Red Herring
PALO ALTO, CA – May 29, 2012 – Cloudera, the leading provider of Apache Hadoop-based software, services and training, today announced that it has been recognized among the 100 most innovative and promising technology ventures in the Americas by Red Herring. The Red Herring Americas 100 Award has become a mark of distinction, identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring's editors were among the first to recognize companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.
"Cloudera is very honored to receive this distinguished recognition from Red Herring," said Mike Olson, CEO of Cloudera. "A new way that companies are able to gain competitive advantage today is by harnessing insights from their data. Cloudera has pioneered the use of Apache Hadoop in the enterprise for this purpose, enabling companies to put their data to work. The Red Herring distinction is further validation that our innovation is having a transformative effect on the market and we will continue to press forward in our mission to make Hadoop simple for every enterprise to employ."
Red Herring's editorial staff evaluated the winning companies on both quantitative and qualitative criteria, such as financial performance, technology innovation, management quality, strategy, and market penetration. This assessment of each company's potential is complemented by a review of its track record and standing relative to their sector peers, allowing Red Herring to see past the "buzz" and make the list a valuable instrument of discovery and advocacy for the most promising new business models in Americas.
"Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat," said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. "After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across North America to the Top 100 Winners. We believe Cloudera embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. Cloudera should be proud of its accomplishment as the competition was very strong."

D3: Vault of the Drow
As a member of a bold party of adventurers, you and your associates have trekked far into what seems to be a whole underworld of subterranean tunnels-arteries connecting endless caves and caverns which honeycomb the foundations of the lands beneath the sun.
From the entrance to this maze found on the lowest level of the Hall of the Fire Giant King, your expedition has dogged the heels of the Dark Elves who caused great woe and then fled underground, but accidentally left a map which has enabled pursuit.
All along the route, signs of the insidious Drow have been noted. It is now evident that the Dark Elves pass freely throughout this underworld, but it is just as evident that these evil elves are hated and feared by the other intelligent races inhabiting the subterranean lands. This does not give cause to hope that your party will receive any substantial aid, for most of the creatures dwelling in the sunless places beneath the earth are as evil as the Drow. The vast majority of the denizens of the underworld are as inimical to you as are the Dark Elves, and that enemy will certainly be alert, not complacent, as they too must deal with powerful enemies continually in order to survive in this grim and ghastly underworld.
This module can be played alone, as the conclusion to module D1-D2: Descent into the Depths of the Earth, or as the third module in a series that forms a special extended adventure (G1-G3: Against the Giants, D1-D2, and Q1: Queen of the Demonweb Pits).

By Mike Harrington
SUNRISE, Fla. -- Went to bed and Jarome Iginla was headed to the Bruins. Got up and he's a member of the Penguins, likely reuniting his Olympic line with Sidney Crosby
Say what?
It all went down about 1:30 a.m. ET when the rumored deal to Boston was trumped by Calgary's announcement that their franchise player was going to Pittsburgh for the Pens' first-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft and the rights to unsigned draft choices Kenneth Agostino and Ben Hanowski. Doesn't seem like much of a haul for the franchise player, does it?
So now the Penguins have added Douglas Murray, Brendan Morrow and Iginla to a team that's on a 13-game winning streak. Amazing.
Quick thoughts:
1. With the Penguins going crazy, won't other teams want to look at big names like ..... Thomas Vanek or Jason Pominville?
2. Still want the Sabres to finish eighth and sneak into the playoffs? How long will that first-rounder with Pittsburgh last? Yikes.

Celtics Top Cavs at The Q
Wrap-Up – On Saturday night, the Cavaliers put together one of their sharpest fourth quarters of the season. Unfortunately, it came on the heels of the game's first three quarters in which Boston had built a 31-point lead. Cleveland outscored the Celtics, 41-22, in that final period, but it was too little, too late as the Celtics swept the season over the Wine and Gold – handing them the 111-99 loss at The Q.
Joe G's Running Game Blog
FINAL - BOS 111, CLE 99 ... Despite cutting a huge Boston lead to 12 late in the contest, the Cavaliers were never in it on Saturday night and dropped their second straight, with Boston sweeping the season series, 3-0. Seven Cavaliers notched double-figures in the loss -- with Dion Waiters, Kyrie Irving and Jarrett Jack finishing with 15 points apiece. Tristan Thompson doubled-up with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

Corsicana —
The Sunbeam Club
The Southern Pacific Sunbeam Club gathered at IHOP in Ennis on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012. The whistle blew at 11:30 a.m. Jerry Mayo was honored for his December birthday.
This was a Candy Cane Day and each one received a candy cane along with a printed history that included connecting scripture.
Some of the club members were involved in the Christmas Parade and Coffee in the Caboose. They shared their experience and enjoyment of the good weather and good attendance.
The Sunbeam Club held their first meeting in January 1993. This was because of an invitation Ralph Essary ran in the paper for all those interested to meet at the Golden Corral. Many of the same people are still meeting with this group 20 years later. They celebrated this anniversary at the December meeting and will do so again in February . The meeting date for January falls on New Years Day, a day for napping and watching ball games. The club will meet again on Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013 to begin its 21st year.

Getting down to business at U.N. climate talks a hard task
A U.N. concession to delegates at this week's climate talks in Bonn to take off jackets and ties due to recent high temperatures may be going to some participants' heads.
Breaking the back of negotiations for a new climate pact after the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012 is proving hard work even though the talks' chair hopes to have a new negotiating text on the table by the end of the week.
Developing nations are still blaming the rich for global warming and the issue of who will contribute most to climate financing is still a matter for debate.
A year-end meeting in Cancun looms closer and the pressure is on to get the job done.
Yet, the acronyms being bandied around — LULUCF, CDM, AAU, AWG-KP, AWG-LCA, REDD, to name a few — are enough to make your head swim.

Another great tool when researching South Texas and Northern Mexico Genealogy is PARES (Portal de Archivos Espanoles).
Don't forget to run your ancestor names in their archives search since it contains numerous collections pertaining to mexico and all of Spaniard territories before the 1800′s I found a document as old as 1695 which pertained to one of my ancestors dying intestate and how the family was dividing his estate. The Spanish will be sometimes hard to read but we have to adapt.
Home Page of PARES:
These archives contain documents all the way from brawls due to love affairs up to Spaniard officer files. Fortunately in my family tree I have quite a bunch of Spaniard officers. I'll be posting some findings in future posts.

Niagara Gazette — Charlie died in his sleep on Monday and the Presti family is heartbroken.
The 28-year-old chimpanzee suffered from an enlarged heart, and died halfway through his life expectancy. It's a common ailment for captive primates.
For those who don't know of the Prestis, Carmen and his wife Christie are founders of the Primate Sanctuary in Niagara Falls. They've been in the news often over the past eight years as they fought to get approval to build a new primate sanctuary on their property in Wilson. The approval finally came in July. But, the project they hope to break ground on this spring will never benefit the one creature they wanted most to be there. Charlie.
I spoke with Carmen Presti on Wednesday about the loss of his friend, a primate he taught to communicate in sign language and who enjoyed watching Animal Planet and Nikolodian, eating tacos and occasional treats from Dairy Queen.
When Charlie was uncomfortable in his last days, he would call out to Carmen several times in the middle of the night and Presti would go down to see what he needed. If it was a drink, Charlie would touch his throat, or if he wanted food, he would touch his belly. Carmen lost 15 pounds tending to Charlie over the past few weeks. But the communication made things so much easier, especially when Charlie needed X-rays or blood tests.
"Charlie and I could talk to each other just like I'm talking to you," Carmen said to me. "He understood everything we told him."
Presti recalled the first day he met Charlie when he and his wife were dating, more than 20 years ago. Christie, who already owned one monkey, asked Carmen to travel with her to Ohio, to meet a chimp she had heard about.

MC makes the switch to Green Power Switch®
College one of first large block sign-ups in Maryville
July 15, 2003
Contact: Karen Eldridge, MC Office of Communications,
Pam Arnett, City of Maryville Public Information Office
Maryville College has become a participant in Green Power Switch® by agreeing to purchase 45 blocks of green power for three buildings on their campus. Green Power Switch, offered by the City of Maryville Electric Department and TVA, is a renewable energy program that allows consumers to purchase electricity generated from clean sources, such as solar, wind and methane gas power, for their homes and businesses.
"We are very pleased with the participation thus far in the Green Power Program that Maryville Electric implemented this past spring," stated Maryville Electric Director Baron Swafford. "Maryville College was one of our first large block sign-ups and we congratulate them on their enthusiasm and the great example they are setting for their students."
Green Power Switch is sold to consumers in 150-kilowatt-hour blocks at a cost of $4 per block. Business and industrial customers buy blocks based on the amount of energy they use. Residential consumers can also buy as many blocks as they like with each block totaling about 12 percent of a typical household's monthly energy use.
According to TVA Green Power Switch Program Manager Gary Harris, Maryville College is the second higher education institution in the Tennessee Valley to participate in the program.
" The College's proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains makes its participation very significant," Harris said. "Clearly, they are committed to ensuring that their campus is a beautiful place for students to study and live, both now and in the future."
The three buildings participating in the Green Power program are Crawford House, Fayerweather Hall and the Center for Campus Ministry (CCM). Every building, either through recent construction, restoration or renovation, features energy-efficient and environmentally friendly elements.
The MC Window of Opportunity strategic plan, adopted by the College's Board of Directors in 2001, calls for the College campus to be a "model of environmental stewardship" by 2007.
Dr. Mark O'Gorman, associate professor of political science and environmental studies and chairperson of the College's Environment and Forestry Advisory Committee (EFAC) said the College's participation in the Green Power Switch is more visible proof of the College's commitment to living out its institutional environmental ethic.
" Maryville College students are very aware that citizens need to become better stewards of the planet," O'Gorman said. "From classes on ethics and the environment taken from the freshman through senior year, environmental-related courses and majors in a number of disciplines, and a variety of eco-related service and ministry projects, our students and campus community commit themselves to helping the environment.
" Having the College commit three buildings to the Green Power Switch, including the CCM – our geographical and spiritual center – demonstrates that the College 'walks its talk' when it comes to the environment," he added.
Officials at the College have asked GPS and City of Maryville Electric Department personnel to participate in a back-to-campus event this fall that will educate students about GPS and other renewable energy sources.
Green Power comes from 15 solar sites throughout the TVA service area, one wind park in east Tennessee and from methane gas at the Allen Fossil Plant in Memphis. Thus far, approximately 6,900 residential customers and 341 business customers are purchasing more than 22,400 blocks of green power from the 63 participating local power companies.

This is not meant to be another flame Velo Promo thread, I really appreciate all of the racing opportunities they provide, but it doesn't make sense to me and I was hoping that someone could clear this up. I understand that due to narrow roads field sizes have to be limited, but if they know that a field will fill up and will need to be split, why not split it into 2 different catgories before we enter?
At Ward's Ferry for example, there was originally just one race with a 50 rider limit for all age 4's and 5's, the largest groups in our region.
Then, after the race filled up as everyone knew it would, they add a 2nd 4/5 field. Why didn't they just initially separate us into 2 races such as 4's and 5's, or Elite 4/5 and Masters 4/5?
My problem with the field splitting is that I go to these races planning to be in the same race as my teammates, but then we end up in separate races and can't work together.
At the early bird RR I had 7 teammates who I had planned to race with, and we all entered within the first 50 riders in the 35+ 4/5 group. At the last minute, they decided to split the field after the first 40 numbers, so I was in the first race ant my teammates were all in the 2nd. That really took the fun out of the race for me, and if we're not out there having fun, why do we even bother? :D

I received a lot of my formal education during my 24-year Army career. However, the best lessons weren't taught in classrooms. They began 20 years ago this month in Somalia.
Establishing the colonial borders of what we today call Somalia resulted in many enclaves of ethnic Somalis being isolated within the borders of neighboring countries. This is a continuing source of tension due to Somali nationalistic desires to reintegrate their displaced kinsmen.
In January 1991, Muhammad Siad Barre, Somalia's then president and dictator, fled the capital city of Mogadishu following a violent coup. Even with Barre ousted, rebel leaders were unable to form a government, and war erupted between rival clans. The fighting continues today.
The war quickly destroyed the country's limited economic infrastructure, displaced thousands of people and caused widespread famine. The warring factions controlled food supplies, using food as a weapon to impose their will and placing more than 1 million Somalis at risk of starvation.
Heavy rains in the summer of 1992 caused extensive flooding, isolating many villages and worsening the famine. This led President George H.W. Bush to decide the United States must act to end the humanitarian catastrophe. The U.N. followed Bush's lead. My division, the 10th Mountain, deployed to Mogadishu that December.
A few days after the division began arriving, a separate task force was formed and sent some 300 miles south to seize the city of Kismayo and open its port to international ships carrying food and other humanitarian supplies. I was assigned to Task Force Kismayo, thus beginning my education in Somalia. Here are four essential lessons I learned that remain relevant today:
-- The world-altering collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 caught the U.S. intelligence community off guard. The civil war in Somalia, which continues today, began that same year.
The November 1992 order for the 10th Mountain Division to prepare to deploy to Somalia also came as a surprise. We had just returned from three months of rigorous Hurricane Andrew relief operations in south Florida.
The 9/11 attacks that precipitated the U.S. military invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq likewise came as a bolt from the blue.
The United States is frequently taken by surprise. We continually prepare to fight the last war or crisis. Defeated presidential contender Mitt Romney wanted to buy more F-22 fighter aircraft. The problem-plagued airplanes cost about $500 million apiece. Designed to defeat Soviet Union airpower, the F-22 has never flown in combat. Why buy more?
-- America sent troops to Somalia largely because of CNN videos showing starving children. We weren't prepared for Somalia. We didn't understand the environment, history, culture or people. Worst of all, we didn't understand the politics underpinning the conflict. This led to terrible military and political blunders.
Following the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan, driven largely by a perceived need to quickly do something, anything, in retaliation. We invaded before fully understanding the difference between the Taliban and al-Qaida. We didn't understand the people or their culture. More than a decade later, we still struggle with these problems.
War should always be the last resort. Deciding to wage war must be done cautiously and deliberately, using the constitutional framework developed by the founders. Today's constant state of warfare is debilitating to America's society, economy and international alliances.
-- Few Americans understand clan warfare or inter-ethnic clashes such as devastated Rwanda and Yugoslavia. In the Somali culture, a person outside of one's clan is of no more value than a dog. Survival of one's clan trumps everything. Hate between rival clans runs deep and spans generations.
In such cultures, killing comes easily. Few Americans can grasp this until they've seen it in person. It is arrogant to believe we can impose our national will and values on such societies, yet we keep trying. Afghanistan, where we've been at war for over a decade, has at least 14 significant ethnic groups. Some of these are clan-based.
The U.S. State Department's strategy for Afghanistan abounds with terms like "democratic reforms" and "democratically elected," demonstrating that we still understand very little about Afghan society and culture. America can't fix Afghanistan.
-- Even in the direst situations, life goes on. In Somalia and later in the former Yugoslavia, two regions totally devastated by war, I observed people struggling to get on with their lives amid total chaos. Children were educated, couples married, babies were born and many people died.
Life goes on because we all share the same basic needs and desires. Everyone wants adequate food, clothing, shelter and security for their loved ones. Where these are lacking, good people will resort to doing bad things to survive. Americans need to understand this.
During these tough economic times, it is imperative that prosperous Americans endeavor to help those in need. Work at this and we'll all be better off. God bless us in the coming new year.

Olympia - Franklin's quick-strike offense never had a chance Saturday night.
Not against a Capital defense that has shut out two of its past four opponents.
With Tyler Sundberg running for four touchdowns for the third week in a row, Capital made a good team look bad, cruising to a 51-0 victory at Ingersoll Stadium to advance to the quarterfinals of the 3A state playoffs.
"Our line was opening up some huge holes," Sundberg said. "Our passing game also helped open up the run."
Capital, which improved to 11-0, has outscored its past four opponents 231-15, shutting out two of them, including the Quakers, who came in averaging 38 points a game.
The Cougars clobbered Nathan Hale, 43-7, last week in their playoff opener.
"I was worried about their offense. They can score quick," Capital coach J.D. Johnson said. "But we started dialing up some pressure. We wanted to put pressure on their quarterback."
Sundberg rushed for 206 yards on 26 carries, averaging 7.9 yards per carry.
"They loaded up the box in the beginning to stop the run," Johnson said. "Our linemen had to figure who they were blocking, and they got it figured out."
Capital advances to the quarterfinals and will next play O'Dea. The Cougars defeated the Fighting Irish, 28-0, in the season opener for O'Dea's only loss. The game will be played at 7 p.m. Saturday.
"It's going to be a battle," Johnson said. "They're a great team."
After punting on its first possession, Capital scored on its next three series, putting together scoring drives of 78, 82 and 75 yards.
Capital overcame three major penalties to score its third touchdown, a 5-yard run by Sundberg. On a second-and-20, Alex Everson faked a pitch to Sundberg and raced 21 yards for a first down to highlight that scoring drive.
Late in the second quarter, Capital cornerback Roman Vern intercepted a pass over the middle and raced 12 yards untouched for a touchdown and a 28-0 lead with 1:43 left in the second quarter. Linebacker Jay Maiava leveled Franklin quarterback Robert Calloway on the play, forcing the interception.
Vern made Franklin's defense pay for focusing on Sundberg. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound senior rushed for 62 yards on three reverse plays, busting loose for runs of 33, 12 and 17 yards in the first half.
On the final play of the first half, Capital's senior defensive back Nick Wynn intercepted a deep pass and zigzagged up field, returning it 35 yards before getting tackled at the Franklin's 25.
Capital had a 273-65 edge in total offense by halftime, running up a 28-0 lead.
On Capital's first possession, the Cougars gambled and went for a first down on a fourth-and-2 near midfield. Sundberg took the pitch from Everson and picked up 5 yards for a first down. But a penalty negated the play, forcing Capital to punt.
Capital needed only one play to score in the second half. Facing a first-and-25 after a holding penalty, Everson threw a 57-yard touchdown strike to Vern, who caught the perfect spiral at the 15, hesitated to elude a tackler and raced untouched into the end zone for a 35-0 lead.
Franklin, which was giving up just 11.0 points a game, never got over midfield and finished with a minus-12 yards in rushing. The Quakers, who lost to O'Dea, 35-13, two weeks ago, finished the season at 8-3.

UPDATE: An online auction set up to raise funds for a San Diego County wildlife sanctuary caring for a bear that repeatedly raided L.A. County foothill communities was off the E-bay website, but would be up again Thursday afternoon.
Officials at Lions, Tigers and Bears in Alpine said that $105,000 had been raised toward a goal of $250,000 for completing Meatball's four-acre habitat and that they hoped the auction of the animal's ear tag, a paw print and a lock of fur would boost donations.
But the auction, which opened Wednesday and was to expire on Nov. 16, was removed from E-bay's site just hours after bidding began.
The organization will repost the auction without the fur, said Bobbi Brink, Founder and Director, Lions Tigers & Bears.
"Lions Tigers and Bears coorporated with the California Department of Fish and Game for the investigation of our Ebay ad this morning. We were unaware that it was a violation of the law to sell a lock of hair from a bear online. This was an open and closed investigation, and Lions Tigers and Bears has Fish and Game's blessing to put Meatball's ear tag and paw print up for sale on Ebay. We thank everyone for your continued support for fundraising of the new habitat for Meatball," Brink said.
Patch heard from bear activist Ali Van Zee via Twitter that the organization mistakenly posted hair tufts in the auction, which were removed from the bear for educational purposes.
The inclusion of the lock of fur in the auction may be in violation of state law, California Department of Fish and Game spokesman Andrew Hughan told the Los Angeles Times.
"The sale of bear parts is illegal in California and DFG is investigating," he told the newspaper.
The animal, a California brown bear weighing about 500 pounds and known as both Meatball and Glen Bearian -- an allusion to Glendale, which he came to like frequenting -- was captured in August, having been caught and returned to the Angeles National Forest twice before.
The bear recently underwent a complete physical exam--while sedated--and was also neutered by a veterinarian from wildlife rescue Lions Tigers and Bears,' according to a news release.
"Lions Tigers and Bears is a no kill, no breed no sell sanctuary. In order to put animals together so they can live happily, they are spayed or neutered," said Lions, Tigers & Bears spokeswoman Jennifer Jenkins.
Dr. Jane Meier conducted blood work, parasite testing, a dental exam and inserted a microchip. The bear is about 5 or 6-years-old, weighs 502 pounds and is healthy, according to the organization.
Meier removed Meatball's California Department of Fish & Game "210" ear tag. He was also paw printed and staff removed a few locks of his fur for display in the childrens' education center at the sanctuary.
The organization has collected $105,000 of the $250,000 needed to construct Meatball's new habitat in Alpine, CA. His safety bedroom is near completion and the landscape designer and architect are finishing the renderings of the habitat while the landscape is being prepared for construction.
Anyone interested in making a direct donation to Lions Tigers & Bears can visit www.LionsTigersAndBears.org.

Editor's Note: A press release from Lions, Tigers & Bears originally stated that the bear's fur would be sold on eBay. This is incorrect and the article was updated.

Do you know what happened
163 years ago this fall... back in 1850?
California became a state.
The people had no electricity.
The state had no money.
Almost everyone spoke Spanish.
There were gunfights in the streets.
So basically nothing has changed
except then the women had
real boobs and the men didn't hold hands.
That, my friends, is the history lesson for today!
"A strong man stands up for himself. A stronger man stands up for others."
The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented
on his wearing his sidearm. "Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you
expecting trouble?" "No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have
brought my rifle."

it is just that they know so much that isn't so.

Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

DOS Spokesman Addresses Visa Waiver Rules for Machine-Readable
The following is excerpted from the 9/9/03 State Dept. press briefing:
"QUESTION: Can you talk about the decision not to enact the
passport restrictions on a number of countries, and also whether
you're getting responses back from those countries that they will
indeed try to enact machine-readable passports within the next year or
two to avoid the restrictions?
MR. BOUCHER: First of all, it's a decision that has not yet been
made. And the Secretary's not yet made a final decision on whether to grant the
postponement to any country's passport holders. But we are considering
postponing until October 26th, 2004, the requirement that each Visa Waiver
Program traveler must present a machine-readable passport at the U.S. Port of
Entry to be admitted to the country without a visa. The Secretary's authority to
postpone the effective date for a visa waiver, country's citizens, is contained
in the U.S.A. Patriot Act, which legislated the same equirement, that visa
waiver travelers have these machine-readable passports.
Visa Waiver Program countries are being asked to send a Diplomatic
Note to the Department of State acknowledging that the waiver will be granted
only once, and that it would expire on October 26th, 2004. Any country
requesting this postponement must also certify that it's making progress towards
ensuring that machine-readable passports are available to its nationals, and
that it has taken appropriate measures to protect against misuse of
non-machine-readable passports. We're also consulting with the Department of
Homeland Security before making this decision on one-time waivers.
Citizens of Visa Waiver Program countries are permitted to enter the
United States for general business or tourist purposes for a maximum of 90 days
without needing a visa. There are 27 countries currently in this program; we can
get you a list later. Footnote, Belgium won't be eligible to receive this
waiver. That requirement was -- there's been a requirement since May 15, 2003,
that Belgian nationals present machine-readable passports. That was stipulated
after our review of the continued eligibility of Belgian nationals to
participate in the Visa Waiver Program. That was done in February of this year,
QUESTION: So why are you asking these countries to give you responses if
you haven't even decided that you're going to --
MR. BOUCHER: Because in order to make the decision, in order to
exercise the waiver, we want to know that they're prepared to do those things.
And once we have that information, the Secretary will be in a position to make a
final decision on whether to grant the waivers.
QUESTION: Any idea -- what kind of response you've gotten yet?
MR. BOUCHER: No, not yet. We'll have to collect it together and get
it to the Secretary when it comes in."

Law enforcement officers from West Long Branch will be cracking down on drunk drivers as part of the annual holiday season "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" statewide campaign.
Beginning Dec. 7 and running through Jan. 2, 2013, local and state law enforcement officers will conduct sobriety checkpoints and saturation patrols looking for motorists who may be driving while intoxicated.
A concentrated national effort, the campaign helps to raise awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving through high-visibility enforcement and public education tools, including posters, banners and mobile video display signs. Launched nationally in 1999, the program works to combat drunk driving during some of the busiest travel times of the year, including the holiday period.
Last year in New Jersey, 152 people were killed as a result of alcohol-impaired crashes. That number represents 24 percent of the 627 traffic fatalities reported in the state in 2011. As part of the initiative, the Division of Highway Traffic Safety provides grants to local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to run the two-week campaign.
Law enforcement agencies participating in the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over 2012 Year End Crackdown offer the following advice:
- If you plan to drink, designate a driver, someone who will not drink alcohol, before going out.
- Take mass transit, a taxi or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
- Spend the night where the activity is held.
- Report impaired drivers to law enforcement. In New Jersey, drivers may dial #77 to report a drunk or aggressive driver.
- Always buckle up, every ride, regardless of your seating position in the vehicle. It's your best defense against an impaired driver.
- If you're intoxicated and traveling on foot, the safest way to get home is to take a cab or have a sober friend or family member drive you to your doorstep.
Motorists are also asked to subscribe to the pledge of the Ensign John R. Elliot HERO Campaign for Designated Drivers: Drive sober, be a designated driver and don't let friends drive drunk. Under the effort, local businesses and community groups, law enforcement agencies, and schools work together to keep drunk drivers off the road.
Started in New Jersey by the Elliot family following the tragic death of their son, John, in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, the campaign has become a national model for preventing drunk driving.

McALESTER —
The Make a Difference Day events that took place in McAlester on Saturday were a huge success, organizers said.
Volunteers helped people do some clean-up and minor repairs in homes around McAlester.
Leanna Amos, a Make a Difference Day committee member, said the day started off at 7:30 a.m., when volunteers arrived at the Boys & Girls Club near Chadick Park in McAlester. There was an introduction, Amos said, and volunteers were told what would was expected for the clean-up day.
At around 8 a.m., Amos said that McAlester Fire Lt. Danny Bennett gave the volunteers a demonstration on how to safely install smoke detectors. He also talked about the proper use of fire extinguishers, Amos said.
Event organizer, Maureen Harrison, said that she was thrilled with the amount of people that showed up to volunteer. "We had over 70 volunteers today," Harrison said.
Make a Difference Day committee member Dani Hovey said that once volunteers attended Bennett's presentation, they began selecting their projects. The Make a Difference Day projects ranged from safety and winterizing, to painting, to general and outdoor maintenance. The volunteers chose their projects, Hovey said, and then they got their materials and dispersed all around McAlester and did the minor home repairs for people in need.
"This is the 11th year that McAlester has participated in this national day of doing good," Harrison said. "The reason we are doing this is to help those in need, including senior citizens, disabled members of the community and single, working women. Often times, these individuals don't have anyone to help them, or they are on a fixed income and need assistance in completing some necessary minor home repair work."
As part of the Make a Difference Day activities, Ladell Emmons, Oklahoma State University extension service educator, held a couple presentations. Amos said the first presentation was on empowering older adults to shop, cook and eat with assistive technology. The second presentation, Amos said, was about emergency preparedness.
Alan Barreca, with Rebuilding Together — Kiamichi Country, had a question and answer booth set up. He helped people learn more about acquiring free major home repair assistance from his organization, Harrison said.
And Smart-Start, Kiamichi Country and Safe Kids, Oklahoma, collaborated to sponsor a car seat give-away for those in need.
Volunteer Melanie Sevall volunteered Saturday and said this is her second year involved in the Make a Difference Day events. "I think its a great organization that helps a lot of needy people," she said. "I plan to return again next year."
Make a Difference Day committee member Valerie Rogers said the volunteers visited over 30 homes to complete projects.
Another committee member, Damien Miller, said he has been involved in Make a Difference Day in McAlester since its inception. "This is my 11th year," Miller said, "and this was the best turnout so far."

A North Jersey state senator is proposing legislation to cut down on the long lines at gas stations and ensure the safety of residents during emergencies.
State Sen. Kevin O'Toole (R-Cedar Grove) is co-sponsoring the New Jersey Residents Power Protection Act. The legislation would hold utility companies accountable for their response times during emergencies. It would also require gas stations and other facilities to have generators on hand to ensure residents have access to power and gasoline during emergencies situations.
"It was apocalyptic in North Jersey in the days following Hurricane Sandy," O'Toole said. "Sometimes, there was no evidence of any activity by the power companies at all."
O'Toole spoke regularly with several North Jersey mayors, including Chris Vergano of Wayne and Paul Aronsohn of Ridgewood, about the lack of progress PSE&G, JCP&L and Orange and Rockland were making in restoring power to hundreds of thousands of North Jersey residents.
"He personally assisted the township in finding fuel supplies to keep the township in business so our Department of Public Works and fire trucks could respond to residents during the storm," Wyckoff Mayor Chris DePhillips said. "He also worked hand-in-hand with me to apply strong pressure on both PSE&G and Orange & Rockland to get the necessary restoration crews into Wyckoff."
PSE&G cut the power to the only overnight shelter in Ridgewood for eight hours Nov. 4.
Several mayors, including Vergano, and Aronsohn, publically criticized the power companies for their lack of preparedness and response to Sandy.
The RPPA would require assisted living facilities, firehouses and gas stations, among other facilities, to have emergency generators running during power outages.
New grocery stores, including smaller ones like Quick Chek, would be required to install a generator on their property. Small businesses could apply for a tax deduction for installing a generator.
"This will help utility companies in restoring power and clearing roadways with the relief that the critical need facilities are operating," O'Toole said. "Vendors were delivering fuel to towns so their emergency vehicles could be fueled."
The RPPA would require the state Board of Public Utilities to develop and enforce performance benchmarks for power companies.
Companies would be required to file a service reliability plan and an emergency communications strategic plan.
The bill would increase the civil penalties utility companies would pay for violating rules enforced by the BPU.
Penalties would increase from $100 a day to $25,000 for each violation up to $2 million. Penalties would go into a special fund. The BPU would use the funds to increase service quality and reliability.
Cracking Down on Price Gouging, Scam Artists
O'Toole is also sponsoring proposed legislation that would increase the penalty for burglary in a municipality where a state of emergency has been declared. The charge would be upgraded from a third-degree to a second-degree offense.
The legislation could be expanded to include trespassing and theft by deception to curb price gouging by gas stations. Two Newark gas stations were accused of price gouging in the aftermath of Sandy.
If expanded, the legislation would help stop illicit contractors from attempting to scam residents out of their money. These scam artists go door-to-door promising residents to fix their damaged homes. Once they receive their deposits they leave and don't perform the work.
That bill is still being drafted and has not been introduced yet.

NORMAN — With only two shopping days left until Christmas, many are hitting area stores for last-minute purchases. Most area businesses have extended their Sunday hours for shopping today, but beware, those same businesses may close early Monday on Christmas Eve.
Sooner Fashion Mall will continue extended holiday hours today, opening at 11 a.m. and closing at 8 p.m. Monday's hours will be from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. and the mall will be closed on Christmas Day.
For those who are desperate for help wrapping gifts or who just want to contribute to a great charity, the Habitat for Humanity Gift Wrap booth in the Sears wing will remain open today and Monday as well. Funds will benefit the Cleveland County Habitat for Humanity and donations are accepted.
Photos with Santa also will continue at the mall through Christmas Eve.
Shopping was brisk on Saturday around town with families thronging the mall and cars edging bumper to bumper throughout the University North Park shopping area on 24th Avenue Northwest.
Despite the crowds, the Christmas spirit was in evidence. One couple waited patiently at the mall security desk to turn in a Visa card they found on the floor.
While toy stores, clothing stores and others were full of people, a few folks stopped for late night shopping at quieter venues such as Walgreens and other drug stores.
Smart shoppers wanting to avoid the crowds may want to check out office supply stores. Many of them are relatively quiet now, but carry great gift items such as journals, a wide variety of ink pens and markers, as well as home and office supplies.

The Oskaloosa Herald
OSKALOOSA — Betsy Luck is a physical education teacher at Oskaloosa Middle School and her dedication to the students and staff at the middle school has paid off with a Middle School P.E. Teacher of the Year award.
Luck received the Iowa Association For Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Middle School P.E. Teacher of the Year at the beginning of this school year.
"I found out around Sept. 1," OMS Principal Andy Hotek said.
"She will receive the honor in Storm Lake at Buena Vista on Oct. 20," he said.
Hotek said he will accompany Luck to Storm Lake to receive the award. Luck and the middle school will each receive a plaque in her honor.
"It's quite an honor," Hotek said. "We're proud. … It's very well-deserved recognition."
Hotek said Luck's peers nominated her for the award. He said Luck approached him this past spring for a letter of support.
In the letter of support, Hotek wrote: "Mrs. Elizabeth Luck has been a physical education teacher at Oskaloosa Middle School since August 2000. During these past thirteen years, she has been instrumental in bringing us a superior reputation along with many honors and awards. She has also contributed greatly to the articulation of the P.E. curriculum between the elementary school, middle school and the high school.
"More important than accolades, of course, is her ability to turn students on to physical health and fitness. Her caring attitude and superior knowledge of the subject make her effective with students at all levels of ability. In fact, she is especially diligent with students who have disabilities, those who historically have had major difficulties in P.E.
"Mrs. Luck is creative and innovative in her approach and has been selected on several occasions to lead at the building and district levels. She has been active in writing our course guidelines for our district."
"It's not a surprise that she won," Hotek said. "She is extremely dedicated" not only to the students but also to the staff.
"She's our go-to person. She lives and breathes fitness," Hotek said.

High school students in Burlington County, New Jersey are facing hazing accusations for an incident that allegedly happened during a team building exercise last month.
The Florence Township School District says it launched an investigation to determine whether at least one player was held down and bitten during the exercise, which involved members of the varsity baseball team.
The district says disciplinary action was taken for those involved in the incident.
In a statement released Tuesday, the district says the administration was made aware of the incident on March 22.
"As a school community, we understand that nothing is more important than the safety of all our students. Through the measures already taken and our continuing review of our procedures and protocols, we want to make certain that we provide a safe and secure environment for all of our students," the statement read.
News of the incident reached both parents of the school and even parents of an opposing team.
FOX 29 reached out to the team's coach, but as of the time our newscast aired, our calls were not returned. The school district says, as of right now, the coach is not facing an disciplinary action.

Teenager seriously injured after being hit by bus near East Croydon station
Updated 10:28am Friday 7th February 2014 in News By Chris Baynes, Reporter
A teenager has been taken to hospital suffering from serious foot and facial injuries after being hit by a bus near East Croydon station.
The 16-year-old girl was treated at the scene in George Street by an ambulance crew before being taken to St George's Hospital, Tooting, as a priority.
Two fire engines and a fire rescue unit were called to the accident at 12.29pm to free the youth from under the vehicle.
But they left the scene about 10 minutes later because she was not trapped.
Part of the road was cordoned off by police while emergency services were at the scene.
Witnesses said they feared the teenager had been killed in the collision.
Danielle Uan Ommeren, aged 21, said: "I just came back from my lunch break and saw the ambulance parking. The was a woman on her knees screaming to another woman under the bus.
"They put up a sheet around where she was lying on the ground. It did not look good."
Daniel King, 25, who manages nearby second-hand entertainment store Cex, described the road was an accident blackspot.
He said: "We see a lot of accidents here. Pedestrians have been hit crossing the road. I must have seen about three in the last year."

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
I am writing in response to Allegany County's response to the growing overdose problem in the area ("County health board preparing opioid overdose prevention plan," May 15 Times-News, Page 1A).
There is a much greater issue at hand that not too many people seem to be willing to deal with and that is how do we educate our kids, and the community at large, regarding these illicit substances.
The recent article written regarding my life ("College For Convicts?" April 7 Times-News, Page 1A) was only the tip of the iceberg. If I had been educated regarding illicit and dangerous drugs, my story may have been different. Alcoholism was common in some family members and their miseries helped me not to drink.
Even though I practically grew up in Baltimore City, I knew little to nothing regarding drugs. And since I grew up in a protected environment of sorts, it was never mentioned.
There also seems to be an ambivalence in Allegany County to openly discuss that drug use is more commonplace than many think. And it is time to address these issues with the younger generation so that we may have a chance to prevent future substance abuse.
I applaud Allegany County Health Department for taking the steps to address overdosing but will challenge this community to find ways to educate our youth about drug prevention, and not just on the surface.
Monies need to be allocated for prevention programs so that we stand a chance to fight the growing culture of addicts.
I should not be surprised that not many educational programs exist in this area especially since the closing of the Allegany House, a halfway house, went virtually under the radar of this community and not an eyebrow was raised.
We, myself included, want to live in a safe community, but this does not happen by pretending there is no problem.
I will even volunteer my own time to help educate the community about my life's experiences with addiction and the subsequent effort to change my life.
This will get worse before it gets better. The time to act is now before we bury any more of our family and friends, or before we watch them leaving on the prison van for an extended stay in a correctional facility.
Please take action before the problem gets worse. The future of many youth is being thrown away in pipes, syringes and straws. Will you be part of the solution or part of the continued denial of the growing problem?
Brian Shea Sr.

The Clinton Herald
---- — CLINTON — A new affordable health care clinic has been long in the works for Clinton, and after two possible site locations have failed, the city has a new spot lined up — a parking lot.
City officials came together this week at a committee of the whole meeting to discuss utilizing a portion of the municipal parking lot attached to Clinton Park on South Fourth Street to be used for the low income clinic.
Community Health Care, Inc. (CHC), a Quad-City based health care clinic, has shown interest in developing a facility in Clinton for several years, and as the need for affordable health care continues to grow, city officials are ready to do what they can to make it happen.
So far, the city has done everything to secure land for the new clinic, land they will sell for $1. After two different site locations have failed, and now a third one is on the table, the city is hoping this will be the solution they have been looking for.
The last location option the city discussed would have placed the 12,000 square foot facility in the Liberty Square area. However, because of delays and changes from the Iowa Department of Transportation, that location is no longer available.
"In late October Jason Craft and I attended a meeting to talk about the right-of-way and property disposal related to right-of-way and that process is now going to take much longer than initially anticipated," City Administrator Jessica Kinser said. "So that area is not going to be possible to locate a clinic."
So on Tuesday, Kinser came back to the council to discuss the next option that has been in the works for some time, but only now has been released to the council and the public.
The municipal parking lot near Clinton Park contains approximately 2 acres of land. The city is interested in acquiring about 1 acre of that property to be used for the future CHC clinic.
"It really would have a minimal effect on where most of the parking is currently used in that lot, by neighboring businesses, or for the park," Kinser said.
City attorney Jeff Farwell also informed the city that because the property was platted as a park when the city was founded, aquiring that location will be easier than other commercial lots.
However, councilman John Rowland said by allowing CHC to build the facility near the park, it could start a trend for other businesses to want to build on the city's parks.
"This will come up, we'll hear about it," Rowland said. "What if we get other requests from other people to use the city parks for putting businesses in."
The answer from Farwell was simple "you can deny it."
"This is a pretty unique project here and that's why I think it rates looking at this space for that. And of course it is a parking lot," he said. "Originally it was grass, but at some point the city decided to pave it over and it's been that way for a long time."
To move the project to the next phase, the committee of the whole made a recommendation to allow Kinser to begin a development agreement between the city and CHC.
"The biggest part of the development agreement is that we have things figured out in the end," Kinser said. "It's hard to put a timeline and dates to this because there are some things that won't be completed by the city. (But) the development agreement is the next big step."
