GNU FDL Version 1.3 Improves Compatibility
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) has released version 1.3 of its GNU Free Documentation License improving compatibility with certain Creative Commons licenses.
With the revision GNU FDL 1.3 licensed material can be relicensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-BY-SA) version 3.0 license. The license conditions require attributions to the author and/or licensor and that any modifications made to the product remain under the same or another compatible license.
Changes to the license can be traced back to a query from the Wikimedia Foundation, with its many Wikipedia publications in numerous languages, probably the largest user of the FDL. Brett Smith, responsible for license adherence at Wikimedia explains the problem:"Wikis often import material from a wide variety of sources, many of which use the CC-BY-SA license. Wikipedia, however, uses the GNU FDL. The incompatibility between these two licenses has been an obstacle to moving material back and forth between these sites. The new provision of FDL version 1.3 will give Wikipedia and other wikis another chance to choose the licensing policies they prefer."
The Wikipedia Foundation will be discussing the relicensing of content under the Creative Commons License in the near future. In his blog, Creative Commons Founder Larry Lessig welcomes the move: "A fundamental flaw in the Free Culture Movement to date is that its most important element -- Wikipedia -- is licensed in a way that makes it incompatible with an enormous range of other content in the Free Culture Movement."
The GNU FDL basically remains a license for software handbooks. The complete text to the license and a FAQ list for version 1.3 can be viewed at the GNU Project website.
The FSF is also working on version FDL 2.0, which should bring even more significant changes. The organization invites discussion and comments of the pros and cons of version 3.0 of the software license GPL on the GPLv3 website.

Authorities gain edge with social media
By ANGIE HAFLICH
By ANGIE HAFLICH
Technology has not only provided law enforcement with a leg up in fighting crime, but video, cell phones and social media also has helped citizens aid in the fight.
According to Finney County Sheriff Kevin Bascue, a property owner's use of his or her own security system recently helped officers locate a suspect who had allegedly taken scrap iron from the property.
"When we got the report, the property owner told us that there had been some previous incidents of someone taking some scrap iron from the property, so the property owner put what's called a trail camera, normally used by hunters who go out and they want to see if deer is passing by a particular location. It basically takes a picture of movement, so this property owner put one up in the area where he was suspecting that property was being taken," Bascue said.
The property owner recorded the suspect on the trail camera and then called sheriffs officers to report the theft.
"So he provided us with the pictures and it had pictures of the suspect, the vehicle, the trailer, the tag number and everything. It was awesome," Bascue said. "I mean we don't normally get that kind of stuff gift-wrapped for us like that."
Sheriff's deputies subsequently ran the tag number of the vehicle, located the registered owner and visited the suspect's residence.
"When we got there, we saw the vehicle with the tag number, we saw the trailer that was in the picture, as well, knocked on the door and said, 'We need to talk to you about taking scrap iron that didn't belong to you. We've got your vehicle, we've got your trailer, all that stuff on camera, and the exact time and everything,' and the person said, 'You got me,'" Bascue said.
He said that the trail camera is one type of technology being used by citizens to help law enforcement with identification and apprehension.
"That technology isn't going to necessarily stop someone from breaking into your house, but if they do, you have the picture or video of them that will be helpful in their capture," Bascue said.
Sgt. Michael Reagle of the Garden City Police Department said the Tip411 program, sponsored by Crime Stoppers, allows users to send anonymous crime tips either through email or by texting the word GCTIP and their tip information to 847411 (tip411). This allows police to send a return text, creating a two-way anonymous chat. Tipsters who send information through the website are given a code that enables them to log back into their tip to see if the GCPD has sent a request for additional information.
"The only way I know I can communicate with them is if they log back in with that number," Reagle said.
All tips received through Tip411 are anonymous. Technology removes all identifying information before the police department receives it, so there's no way to identify the sender.
Reagle said that when a tip is received, sergeants and commanding officers receive notification emails that they can then respond to, and through the online system, photos can also be uploaded.
"Pictures are great, especially if it's someone we're looking for," Reagle said.
He said people are slowly starting to utilize the Tip411 program to assist police.
"Its a new technology for us, but it's also a new technology for the community itself — to know it's there and to use it, to think about using it," Reagle said. "We try not to overwhelm people with it. We try to keep it to those things that we definitely need some help with — not necessarily things that we deem more important — but things that we think the community would be a good resource to help us solve the particular issue that we're dealing with."
Because the program is sponsored through Crime Stoppers, Reagle said that, in some cases, tipsters can be eligible for rewards.
"Rewards vary depending on the type of case," he said. "Crime stoppers makes that determination."
He said the Tip411 program is for non-emergency situations only.
"We do not want anyone to put 911-related information through this. This is for non-emergency only. If it's an emergency, we still want them to call 911, because there is a delay (through Tip411)," Reagle said.
Also available through the GCPD's website is a link to crime alerts, a network the GCPD uses to update people on crimes, emergencies and other important information. People who sign up for it can receive text alerts, email alerts or both.
Last week, the GCPD utilized the alert system, www.citizenobserver.com, to seek assistance from the community in identifying a man they are seeking on allegations of burglary and unlawful use of a credit card, and surveillance cameras from local businesses allowed police to upload photos of the suspect.
Tips can be submitted by going to the GCPD website, www.gcpolice.org and clicking on "Submit a Tip." To sign up for alerts, click on the "Crime Alerts" link.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — A common misconception is that there is a fine line between a child that has pets at their home and a zookeeper who takes care of wild animals. It is true, that both pick up after their animals, but that's about where the similarities end.
Next time you are at an aquarium or zoo, be aware that zookeepers can hear you. Although you might not see us, we can hear your conversations. When you are in front of an exhibit, there is a chance that we are behind the scenes.
I have heard the extremes: "That must be such a fun job, playing with the animals all day," and "This is why you have to go to college, or else you will be picking up after animals." The second statement makes me laugh because most zookeepers and aquarist have two- or four-year degrees related to science, and it is highly competitive to "pick up after the animals."
Zookeepers are animal trainers, landscapers, construction workers, chefs, public speakers, electricians and secretaries.
Animal training does not always equate to show behaviors. Zookeepers also train husbandry behaviors such as training animals to voluntarily give blood and urine, offer their paws for nail trims, and open their mouth for dentistry work.
Training and enrichment seem to go hand in hand. Enrichment, a topic I have mentioned many times, allows animals to make choices and use their problem-solving skills (mental and physical) to interact with keepers and devices for rewards.
Zoo animals, like pets, go the bathroom. Some animals go in a designated spot every day, like house cats. Some animals go the bathroom while they walk and many go everywhere. Keepers use powered hoses, detergents, rakes, scraping devices, dustpans, shovels and even wheelbarrows to make sure the enclosure is clean for the animals. Of course, it smells. The worst smells and textures usually come from the cutest animals. The worst would have to be tamandua and kinkajou. If you are not familiar with these species, do a quick internet search to see how cute they are.
Aside from daily husbandry, most animal exhibits need routine maintenance. This includes changing light bulbs, rearranging branches, and adding dirt and sand to enclosures. Horticulture also comes into play, with weed whacking, trimming trees and mowing the grass. Saving the grass clippings, tree branches and weeds makes for great enrichment. These items can be eaten, used as new bedding or can have food buried in to promote foraging.
Making the diets that the animals eat, is by far the easiest part of the job. It is relaxing and fun to prepare the food. Going to the zoo's commissary or main food storage area is like going to a grocery store and not having to buy anything. Depending on the animals that zookeepers care for, many hours could be spent chopping, mincing, and weighing vegetables, fruit, dry goods, hay and meat. Food prep also includes unloading the deliveries of all the zoo food, many times for animals you do not care for.
Whether for routine vet exams or immediate surgeries, keepers are directly involved in the medical aspect of the animals' care. Daily medications are often delivered by keepers. Hiding pills or better yet, training animals to accept medicine is an important aspect of the job. Zookeepers also participate in injections, blood draws, ultrasounds and X-rays.
Keepers are responsible for maintaining the areas where visitors come to look at the animals. This includes a lot of window washing, floor scrubbing and cobweb sweeping.
The amount of paperwork zoos keep is remarkable. Records of everything you can imagine are kept, including records of daily keeper operations, enrichment, medicine, training, how many people individual animals encounter and even logs for bowel movements and when females are about to go into heat. My favorite, sloths, only go the bathroom once a week, so it is really important to keep track of their activity.
A great zoo considers education to be one of their main goals.
From raising money to going on field research trips, keepers are heavily involved in making conservation happen in order to help save animals.
And yes, pooper scooping is one of the parts of the job.Kenny Coogan has a B.S. in animal behavior. Please email your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com, or search for "Critter Companions by Kenny Coogan" on Facebook.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Lake Effect Ice Cream will relocate to 79-81 Canal St. after the Common Council on Wednesday OK'd the sale of the property to the artisan ice cream maker.
Lake Effect, owned by Lockport High School teachers Jason Wulf and Erik Bernardi, will buy the coveted property near the Pine Street bridge for $50,000. Although the city owns it, Greater Lockport Development Corporation will pocket the purchase money, according to the approving resolution.
Wulf said in a telephone interview Wednesday night that his business will vacate leased property around the corner from 79-81 Canal, on Lock Street, and open a full-service ice cream parlor. Ice cream production will be moved to Canal Street as well, he said.
The business, launched in the city in 2008 on nine exotic-sounding ice cream flavors, has grown quickly. Presently, Wulf said, it's selling 13 varieties in pints, through 26 different vendors including Tops Markets, Premiere Foods, Niagara County Produce and the Lexington Cooperative in Buffalo; and roughly 30 varieties at its parlor. It counted roughly 46,000 customers from May through October this year.
The Canal Street property will provide Lake Effect with twice the space it had on Lock Street, Wulf said. A small addition will be erected behind the building over the winter. It's expected that year-round ice cream production will occupy a bit more than half of the building, and the seasonal ice cream parlor the rest. Hopefully the doors will be open by late spring, he said.
Eighty-one Canal was an ice cream parlor when it was opened in 1912. The knowledge makes Lake Effect's successful bid for the building even sweeter, Wulf suggested.
"We wanted a place in Lockport that's iconic. We want it to be our flagship shop," he said. "We feel honored to be there. (GLDC) has made choices not to put people there."
GLDC oversaw the rehabilitation of four Canal Street commercial properties for the city and now manages and markets them. It's entertained more business siting proposals for 79-81 Canal than the others combined the past few years.
This past summer, two proposals came in at the same time, Lake Effect's purchase offer and a proposal by a hospitality vendor to lease the property and start up a business.
Mayor Michael Tucker, GLDC president, said both proposals were "incredible. Picking one was almost painful."
Board member Patrick Schrader, 4th Ward alderman, said the board ultimately chose Lake Effect because "to buy is better than to lease ... and Lake Effect is a proven entity."
Tucker said he'll meet with the start-up operator next week to talk over other possible downtown sites for the business.

Josh Hamilton has 125 million reasons to smile (Associated Press).
So I know folks in places like San Francisco, Detroit, St. Louis, Washington and maybe even Toronto might argue but should I just book my hotel right now for 10 days next October for a Freeway World Series in sunny Southern California?
The Dodgers have gone completely off the deep end salary wise this offseason and now comes Thursday afternoon's shocker: Multiple outlets are reporting that the Los Angeles Angels are luring Josh Hamilton from Texas for a five-year, $125 million contract. Hamilton and Albert Pujols in the same lineup? Yikes. They'll have plenty of stories to tell from the 2011 Fall Classic! And don't forget Mike Trout in the same outfield. Crazy.
Trout's reaction on Twitter was one word: "Wow." It got more than 4,700 retweets in less than 55 minutes after posting!
Former Angel Torii Hunter wasn't happy. He signed with Detroit and has tweeted that Angels owner Arte Moreno told him "money was tight." Of course, Hunter is 37 and that might have something to do with it too
The Hamilton deal is another huge loss for the Rangers, who didn't sign Zach Greinke either this winter or make a trade for Justin Upton. Maybe now they go back to the New York Mets for R.A. Dickey. Texas didn't want to go past three years for Hamilton and was pretty much daring him to go out and find a team that would take on the risk of his checkered past. Hamilton did and the Rangers got burned.
And the move thus completely changes the balance of power in the AL West. Think the A's will be favored to repeat in the division next spring? Think not.

Editor, Townsman
As I gaze out my kitchen window I see the regal steel of the new Bancroft Elementary School swinging into position (beginning at 7 in the morning). As the building assembles, it's like the pulling together of all the ideas and dreams any thoughtful community might have as they add to the richness of their town. The new school represents the high quality standards the town of Andover embraces as it cherishes the crown jewel of our reputation: a top quality school system.
The new Bancroft is expensive—the biggest capital outlay we've had in years – and the increased costs we are now facing as a result of the construction delays are very unfortunate. I acknowledge that none of us want to see a more expensive project (although the tax impact of these increased costs apparently is minimal). As we climb out of this economic recession we need the wind at our back in all respects. Yet our commitment to excellence in the school system—for our children and grandchildren—and even for those of us whose children have moved on in life, is unshakable. The reputation of Andover and its schools resonates around the region; it's like looking out onto a forest sanctuary or a beautiful park in which we may never tread, but in which we have consummate pride. So, though wringing our hands with frustration about the added costs, it's something we simply must support. All of us.
I also serve as the chairman of Andover's Economic Development Council. This volunteer group of citizens and neighbors concerns itself with the overall well-being of Andover from an economic perspective. We try to enhance the town's reputation within the greater business community in order to attract companies here, add to the tax base, create jobs, and enrich our shopping experience. We believe that a business firm or a young family takes a holistic view of our community—and certainly the school system and its attendant facilities—before committing themselves to join us here in Andover.
So, speaking also on behalf of the EDC, I urge you to attend the Special Town Meeting on Monday, Feb. 11, and participate in this important discussion. Andover has the opportunity to be the best place to work and live in America, and supporting this funding for the new Bancroft Elementary School is a very important step in that direction.

Semiotext(e) ($17.95)
by Justin Maxwell
Its easy to like Gary Indiana. Any successful novelist who steps up and says plot is the sleaziest form of ingenuity has thought through the writers craft far enough to be worth reading. And this collections thirty-five-year coverage is a strong starting point for anyone unfamiliar with the authors work. Plus, this collection features just the right kind of sleaze. Indiana is obsessed with the impure side of the human condition: vanity, narcissism, and neglect. These conditions are seen throughout this hefty book; in its many plays, assorted poems, brief fictions, and two interviews, we see Gary Indiana simultaneously angry at and obsessed with cultural station.
Indiana offers a brief primer to his work called The Theater of the Obvious: An Informal History. This is a straightforward account of the late 70s and early 80s when Indiana was a prolific theater maker. It offers no real definition of a movement or aesthetic, replacing that with a whos who of scenesters. Given the thickness of the anthology and the publishers reputation for critically smart prose, this missing component feels like a shortcoming—the history is more of the era than of a theoretical methodology. But the era is an important one, when the downtown scenes experimentalism was radiant in contrast to the evils of Reagans economic and cultural policy.
We are left with Indianas interesting plays to guess at an aesthetic in retrospect, and the collection is best in its drama. The clearest manifestation of what Indiana is up to is in his play Alligator Girls Go to College, wherein a trio of half-women/half-alligators lose their jobs as side-show freaks and attend a community college. One unfortunate reptile makes the ominous mistake of getting involved with the theater, and ends up with the full, starlet wish-fulfillment: discovered by Hollywood elite, plastic surgery in Europe (making her into the classic blond beauty), and huge fame on the big screen. She also ends up with a secretive life in a mansion where she is deeply unhappy. She starts out as a circus freak and becomes another kind of freak: the movie star. Themes of personal corruption and the sleaze of the film industry drive the show. It has a smart sense of the theatrical with the alligator girls; while they might flounce into abstraction in the hands of a lesser writer, Indiana treats them with a simple dignity.
Thematically similar, Phantoms of Louisiana is much the opposite of Alligator Girls. This work is a smart parody of Southern Gothic and the paradoxical culture that engendered it. The soft-spoken language, familial realpolitik, and absurdism are delightfully sleazy. By contrast, in The Roman Polanski Story the sleaze seems obvious, but the work keeps the reader guessing about their assumptions of the obvious, as is often the case in Indianas theater. There is much about sex in this play, and delightfully it both is and isnt what one might expect.
These three plays are quite different, on the surface, from A Coupla White Faggots Sitting Around Talking, the only teleplay in the collection. While one could argue it is the work truest to the name Theater of the Obvious, it is the least compelling read, being too true to its title. However, if the previously discussed texts take the theatricality inherent in sleaze and put it up on the stage, the intimacy of this video work shows real people at the bottom, people on the other side of the cultural coin that weve seen flipped in the previous plays.
The short monologue Roy Cohen takes Indians pitch-perfect sense of sleaze to a wonderfully disturbing climax. Here we get the public persona of the hyper-conservative and homophobic title character; the tension comes because we know the real Cohen is deeply closeted. In the staging, we watch an actor play a gay man who is playing a conservative who is passionately delivering a homophobic monologue in the guise of a speech. The layers of cognitive dissonance are deeply compelling. This is a theater obsessed with the oily film that floats to the top of the culture; it is powerful to read and to watch.
The poems and prose of Last Seen Entering the Biltmore address the same themes as the plays, but often in a more direct and visceral way. In them, Indianas frustrations with the vacuous failings of American culture are there on the surface. His frustrations are reminiscent of the Beat movement; in some ways, Indiana is a Beat born after the fatalism of Debords Society of the Spectacle, or at least the culture that epitomized it. This supposition comes through best in the collections epilogue, a powerful interview titled The Five Percent Paradox wherein Indiana says: The bureaucracies that operate the consciousness industry now only allow 5 percent of originality into its menu items, . . . if you want access to mainstream markets, the bureaucracies tell you what to write, how to write it, and what ideas are acceptable and which ideas arent allowed.

Paid parking progresses
Date: May 8, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Although the city is a little behind schedule, it still aims to implement paid parking through much of downtown by October.
Potential vendors were notified this week that they could start bidding on the project. Susan Dodd, the city's parking manager, said she had hoped to put that request out last month, but she's still optimistic the October target can still be met.
The city plans to ask the vendors who respond if it would be better to go with double-headed meters placed every two parking spaces or a pay station that would service several stations.
About 700 parking spaces on Main Street, First Street, State Street, Palm Avenue, Lemon Avenue, Osprey Avenue, Pineapple Avenue, Links Avenue, Ringling Boulevard McAnsh Square and Adams Lane will be converted to metered parking.
Although the City Commission has yet to voice its opinion, Dodd is considering a charge of $1 per hour.
Also still under discussion is whether to allow a grace period in which warning tickets would be issued until residents and tourists are used to the paid-parking system.
One possibility Dodd raised is to issue $1 warning tickets to all first-time offenders. The warning tickets could be issued for a set period of time, such as three months. There could also be a permanent warning-ticket program, because the city can track license plate numbers to see who is a first-time offender and who has already received a warning.

It is a stupid question i guess but like they say if you ask you are stupid for 5 minutes and if you don't ask you are stupid forever . here is the question given a closed manifold $(M,g)$ and $\alpha$ in $\pi_1(M,p)$ we can define the length of $\alpha$ as the minimum riemannian length of a representative now obviousle length $\alpha^2$ is less or equal then $2\mathrm{length}(\alpha)$ but it seems it is always equal $2\mathrm{length}(\alpha)$ i want to know why ?
There are geometric hypotheses that ensure the property you want. For example, suppose that $(M,g)$ has negative curvature. Then every $\alpha \in \pi_1(M)$ is freely homotopic to a unique geodesic representative $\alpha^*$. Usually people write $\ell_g(\alpha)$ for the length of $\alpha^*$. Finally, uniqueness of geodesic representatives implies that $\ell_g(\alpha^k) = k \cdot \ell_g(\alpha)$. This is just the beginning of an important area in Riemannian geometry. (When are geodesic representatives unique? What is the interaction between the metric and the variational properties of geodesics? And in a different direction: How does the fundamental group act on the universal cover? What does the metric tell us about the algebraic topology of $M$ and the universal cover? Etc.)
It is amusing to contemplate all the ways in which the real projective plane, or more generally any closed manifold with finite fundamental group, differs from a negatively curved manifold.

Towing in a non-standard configuration
Well, tommorow I'm going to be picking up a trailer that weighs around 3000 pounds. No big deal, except I'm still running in my slightly screwy transmission cooler setup. My 700R4 transmission is getting cooled only by an auxillary transmission cooler, and has been since I replaced the transmission. When I replaced the transmission, I pulled the radiator cooler out of the loop in a fit of being an idiot. I haven't had any issues with it, but this is the first moderately heavy trailer I'm pulling with the truck since then. So the question is, is my aux transmission cooler at least as good as the factory cooler that would be in the radiator? If so, I think I'll be fine towing this trailer as the specs for the truck list that there's no special options needed to tow up to 3000 pounds.\
Also, could I/should I tow this trailer in overdrive? I am pulling the trailer around 4.5 hours one-way and overdrive would really help on fuel mileage if I don't burn the transmission up in the process? It seems like the trailer should be light enough not to cause an issue, but cooking a tranny is a VERY unattractive option.

I would pass on the overdrive.
True it might get you another mpg-but not worth the risk
I would guess at 60 mph towing in OD might get you 9-10 mpg vs 8-9 mpg
Is your aux cooler sorta in the breeze-with a clear shot at incoming air- ?
I would bet the aux cooler would work just fine- might even have more surface area than the stock setup.
Of course there is a lot to be said for OEM setups-engineers usually know their business and the stock setups are usually pretty clean looking.
I know the feeling of having an attack of "seemed like a good idea at the time" sorta thing.
I wouldn't use the OD- aftermarket cooler should work ok.Temp gauge??
How many RPMs does it turn in OD vs 3rd-maybe 1800 vs 2300 rpms?

It's not a great pic, but it's all I have at the moment. This is a pic of the cooler behind the grill:
And here's the whole thread on the install of the cooler:
I'd say that when I'm on the highway (90% of the trip), it has plenty of breeze. I'm not sure of the RPM difference because the truck doesn't have a tach, but the overdrive gear in 700R4s is pretty steep, something like a .73 ratio vs the 1 for 3rd gear.
Well, apparently the truck can tow that 3000 pound trailer with just the small auxillary cooler pictured. We towed in 3rd gear with an average speed of 55-65mph. At every fuel stop I checked the level, color, feel, and smell of the transmission fluid. The level stayed great the whole trip and the feel of the fluid was consistent. The fluid got a little less red and more transparent as time went on. It also started to smell less strong, but never picked up a burnt smell to it. Touching the exposed pipe bends of the cooler gave me between a 1.5 to 2 count before I had to remove my hand. No slipping was detected in the transmission while towing.
That said, I'm now going to get the cooling system set up how I really want it, going into an external transmission fluid filter, going through the radiator cooler, then to the biggest B&M cooler available. I'm also going to do a fluid swap in the transmission and new filter, and possibly a new deeper transmission pan with a bung for a temp sensor.

What sort of mpg did you get?
The cooler looked like it was maybe 8" by 12" ?? Decent sized, but the bigger the better in south louisiana/Miss. summers
So you will set it up to be double cooled-OEM setup thru radiator then a big aftermarket one-with a way to measure temp?
One to two seconds sounds fairly cool- bet that is under 200 degrees? 200 degree metal is plenty hot.
I averaged 12-13 mpg. The trip out empty to pick the trailer up didn't yield the 15 mpg I got when driving it to work for a week, but I still consider the mpg good. The trailer was taller than the truck and had a front wall on it, so it had considerable wind drag.
For those wondering about the trailer I towed, I wrote a blog post about it here: http://www.gmtruckclub.com/forum/ent...uipment-M105A2

From the 1920s to the early 1950s, radio was the primary medium for home entertainment. Families would gather each evening to listen to their favorite programs.
This activity was particularly enjoyable around the holidays when readings of classic tales such as "A Christmas Carol" and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" aired. Similar to present-day holiday gatherings, these moments were a time for togetherness and bonding.
Radio's "Golden Age" has long since ended. Yet, for some, the appeal of this piece of electronic equipment and the feeling of nostalgia it brings has not. For those individuals, there is treasure tucked away on the back roads of Huntington.
Credited as "the largest antique radio museum in the eastern United States," the Museum of Radio and Technology displays an expansive collection of historic radios, televisions and other devices used throughout the 20th century in the former Harveytown Elementary School.
"We have over 10,000 square feet here with about 2,000 radios, televisions, telegraphs, CBs and military items," describes Geoffrey Bourne, the museum's curator. "We receive loans and donations from our members that live all around the country, and for a while we were even finding things that were being left on our doorstep."
In what was once the school's gymnasium, visitors can view a collection of novelty radios, replicas of the RCA dog and a dress owned by singer Molly O'Day.
"The dress is actually one that Molly wore for a performance at the Grand Ole Opry," said Bourne.
The museum is made up of 11 major display areas, each showcasing a development in electronic communication.
A special replica of Antique Radio Club member Frank Lynch's radio sales and repair shop is on display in the 1920s/1930s sales room.
"Our goal is to remodel the entire room so that it resembles a 1920s store," explains Bourne.
Other show items include several Edison and Victrola phonographs, a working crystal radio set, horn speakers, early AC radios and an early 1930s tube tester.
The 1940s radio classroom is used for instructional lessons about HAM radios and restoration clinics that are scheduled throughout the year. It features a live radio circuit board, children's erec-tronic sets and a single needle telegraph. At the center is an RCA TV camera that was used during the 1939 World's Fair.
Visitors can view more HAM radios as well as a number of shortwave radios in the Communication Radio display room.
"Most of these still work with some minor adjustments," adds Bourne.
The museum is also home to a HAM radio station, WV8MRT.
An assortment of table, portable and console radios line the 1940s/1950s sales room.
"During this time, radios were getting smaller and produced in a variety of styles," explains Bourne.
Early television sets, including a 1949 RCA projection TV, a Gilbert toy collection and a variety of wire recorders and transistors fill the rest of the space.
Inside the Broadcast Studio is a 1930s Western Electric 5000 watt broadcast transmitter and power supply, as well as two unique pieces of television history. In the front of the room sits a display of the famed NBC chimes.
"The chimes play the notes G, E, C which stands for General Electric Co.," said Bourne.
Toward the back, visitors will find the TV camera that turned Arch Moore "green" during his gubernatorial debate with Jay Rockefeller in 1980.
The Vintage Hi-Fi room shows the progress of sound quality.
"In the 1950s, high fidelity came into the picture," said Bourne.
Its purpose was to enhance audio and improve distortions. A collection of tube amplifiers, tape recorders, tuners, turntables, speakers and other equipment sits on several shelves.
One of the museum's largest areas is the computer display room. It features a large 5-megabyte hard drive, an Osborne, a vintage Macintosh and a number of other older computers.
On the opposite side of the room is a wall of CB radios and the military communications area complete with a generator set, a World War II Japanese transceiver, a "Gibson Girl" emergency radio.
The museum is also home to the West Virginia Broadcasting Hall of Fame, which pays tribute to television and radio personalities from around the state. Notable members include Don Knotts, Dagmar, Bob Denver, Soupy Sales and Little Jimmy Dickens. The first induction ceremony was held in 2006.
"The first year we were sort of playing catch-up," explains Bourne. "We named about 60 people then."
The induction process has gotten more selective each year. The most recent ceremony, held Oct. 27, honored 12 individuals including radio personality J.B. Miller and former WSAZ anchor Debra Thomas.
Before ending your visit, browse the research library for vintage electronic-themed books and magazines and shop for souvenirs at the gift shop. Sales are a major fundraiser for the museum.
Since opening in 1991, the Museum of Radio and Technology has played host to a variety of guests wanting to relive radio's golden age. Some of the most common are fellow radio enthusiasts (the Tri-State Amateur Radio Association holds its monthly meetings at the museum), schools, and families.
"Grandparents will often bring their grandchildren to show them what Grandma and Grandpa used to listen to," said Bourne. "It's a nice way to remember their past."
The Museum of Radio and Technology is located at 1640 Florence Ave. in Huntington. It is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. on throughout the year except certain holidays. There is no charge for admission, but donations are accepted.

Attempted robbery in downtown Petaluma
Published: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 8:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 8:06 a.m.
Petaluma police Monday night were searching for a man who tried to rob a downtown clothing store.
A man walked into Caravan Imports on Western Avenue just after 6 p.m. and demanded a clerk open the register and hand over money, Sgt. Marty Frye said.
The employee refused and the man grabbed a pair of scissors from a counter and again demanded cash, Frye said.
The clerk again refused and said police were being called. The man ran out, heading east on Western Avenue.
The man was unshaven with a brownish-red goatee and wore a black hooded sweatshirt with gray horizontal stripes, a purple undershirt and dark jeans, he said. He was described as white, 25 to 30 years old, 5-foot-8 with a medium to heavy build.
Several witnesses later told police they saw a man matching that description "acting bizarre" a half-block away on Kentucky Street about 20 minutes before the attempted robbery, Frye said.
Anyone with information about the attempted robbery can call police at 778-4372.

Milwaukee schools did not fare well in a report issued by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Three–quarters of the 45 schools on the state's failing schools list are from Milwaukee.
Madison's East and LaFollette High Schools are also listed, as well as Aldrich Middle and Memorial High School in Beloit.
The preliminary report identifies schools that failed to make annual yearly progress on test scores and other measures required under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Schools have until June 30th to appeal their status. The final report will be issued July 30th.
Joe Donovan from the DPI tells NBC 15 there are fewer schools on the list this year, and 98 percent of the state's schools meet the federal standards.

With the recent indictments of top editors at News Corporation's News of the World, analysts say the company will eventually pay out over a billion dollars in fines and lawsuits related to the phone hacking scandal.
The effect on British newspapers will be long lasting.
Via the New York Times:
What is becoming clear, media analysts say, is that the push-the-legal-limits newsroom culture that has gone untrammeled for years at the British tabloids and has even found its way into some of the country's upmarket broadsheets, including Mr. Murdoch's Times and Sunday Times, could be a casualty of a new culture of caution…
…Already, some who work at British newspapers say, the scandal has had a chilling effect on newsrooms, with editors, reporters and their proprietors less eager to trumpet splashy exposes that might involve, or be perceived to involve, less than ethical standards of news gathering…
One tabloid journalist, who insisted on anonymity because of concern for his job, lamented what he called the end of the "anything goes" era. "Before, it was a case of 'Don't tell me how you get it, just get it,' " he said. "Now things are looked at differently."…
…Media critics say the legacy of the "yellow journalism" of turn-of-the-20th-century America has migrated in recent decades to Fleet Street, the traditional home in London of many of Britain's most powerful papers. Many editors and reporters nurtured in that culture have migrated abroad, some of them to Murdoch-owned papers in America, Australia and elsewhere, taking their no-holds-barred attitudes with them.
Some critics say Mr. Murdoch's London tabloids, The Sun and The News of the World, and rivals here that compete for the same scoop-hungry readership of millions, have set a grim and degrading standard of journalism that will not be missed.
Interestingly, some media analysts from both the left and right urge caution as England reviews its journalism culture and regulations.
They fear that overaggressive prosecutions on journalism practices will creep their way up the publishing hierarchy, affecting not just the tabloids behind the phone hacking and checkbook journalism (ie, paying sources for scoops) scandals, but also the aggressive — and legitimate — journalism practiced by more staid broadsheets.
New York Times, Phone-Hacking Charges Seen as Chill on British Journalism.
I am not guilty of these charges. I did not authorise, nor was I aware of, phone hacking under my editorship. I am distressed and angry that the [Crown Prosecution Service] have reached this decision when they knew all the facts and were in a position to stop the case at this stage. The charge concerning Milly Dowler is particularly upsetting not only as it is untrue but also because I have spent my journalistic career campaigning for victims of crime. I will vigorously defend these allegations.
Statement from Rebekah Brooks, former News International chief executive, reacting to news that British prosecutors believe they have enough evidence to charge her along with others with criminal conspiracy in the ongoing phone hacking scandal.
The Guardian, Phone hacking: Rebekah Brooks, Andy Coulson and six others face charges [live blog].
Background via the Guardian:
British prosecutors say they have the evidence to prove there was a criminal conspiracy at Rupert Murdoch's News of the World newspaper involving former senior executives, including Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks, to hack the phones of more than 600 people including the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler.
Announcing the charging of eight people over the phone-hacking scandal on Tuesday, prosecutors alleged the tabloid's targets ranged from a victim of the 7 July 2005 terrorist attacks to celebrities and senior Labour politicians.
Coulson left the editorship of the News of the World in 2007 after a journalist and private investigator were convicted of phone hacking, and would go on to be appointed as director of communications for the Conservative party. After the 2010 election Coulson worked in Downing Street for David Cameron, who said he deserved a "second chance", as one of the prime minister's most senior advisers, before Coulson resigned as renewed controversy over phone hacking grew.
Prosecutors say other victims of hacking include former senior Labour cabinet ministers such as the former deputy prime minister John Prescott, two former home secretaries, David Blunkett and Charles Clarke, and the former culture secretary Tessa Jowell.
Via Journalism.co.uk:
The "current crisis" engulfing UK newspaper journalism has inspired a new fast-turnaround theatre production that will launch in Glasgow at the end of April.
The National Theatre of Scotland and the London Review of Books have teamed up to produce Enquirer, which will be performed in an empty floor of an office block in Glasgow's digital media quarter at Pacific Quay, before moving to London later in the year.
It is based on more than 50 interviews with people working in the newspaper industry - from reporters to printers and newsagents - conducted by journalists Paul Flynn, Deborah Orr and Ruth Wishart.
The transcripts from the interviews will be edited into a script, and the project will be updated throughout the rehearsal and performance period to reflect the current state of events in the phone hacking story and the Leveson inquiry.
The AP has a nice story about many other standard, shameful practices at News of the World. It's a blood-in-the-water kind of moment for the mainstream press. But the mainstream press should not throw stones. This kind of stuff happens everywhere, including at the AP. I know. I used to work there.
Via the Guardian:
Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbiz reporter who was the first named journalist to allege Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead, the Guardian has learned.
Hoare, who worked on the Sun and the News of the World with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, is said to have been found dead at his Watford home.
Hertfordshire police would not confirm his identity, but the force said in a statement: "At 10.40am today [Monday 18 July] police were called to Langley Road, Watford, following the concerns for welfare of a man who lives at an address on the street. Upon police and ambulance arrival at a property, the body of a man was found. The man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.
"The death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing."
There are plenty of examples of reporters going to extreme lengths to satisfy exacting news desks without quite veering into obvious criminality. There was the tabloid freelancer who hid in a church organ for several days, defecating in a plastic bag, to get pictures of Madonna's baby's christening; there was the time Rebekah Brooks, then a lowly reporter, disguised herself as a cleaner to infiltrate the newsroom of a sister publication and nab a copy of their scoop.
But the great tapestry of tabloid infamy has always been viewed as an entertaining appendage to public life, mischievous rather than malicious. The UK press looks across the Atlantic and—with, to my British sensibility, some justification—views a moribund print culture that spends more time pontificating about morals than getting stories and making them interesting to readers. As the former Times editor and Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins once put it, "I was trained as a reptile lurking in the gutter whose sole job was 'to get the bloody story.'" Not for nothing does the trophy for the country's most prestigious investigative journalism award, the Bevins Prize, show a determined rat nosing up a drainpipe.
In the May/June issue of the Columbia Journalism Review, Archie Bland wrote about the News of the World phone-hacking scandal and why there was relative silence in the English media about it over the past few years.
In doing so, he explores the country's cutthroat media culture and suggests that most ignored the issue because most were most likely doing the same.
Archie Bland, Columbia Journalism Review. Anybody There? Why the UK's phone-hacking scandal met media silence.
Via the Guardian:
Police are investigating evidence that a News International executive may have deleted millions of emails from an internal archive, in an apparent attempt to obstruct Scotland Yard's inquiry into the phone-hacking scandal.
The archive is believed to have reached back to January 2005 revealing daily contact between News of the World editors, reporters and outsiders, including private investigators. The messages are potentially highly valuable both for the police and for the numerous public figures who are suing News International.
According to legal sources close to the police inquiry, a senior executive is believed to have deleted 'massive quantities' of the archive on two separate occasions, leaving only a small fraction to be disclosed. One of the alleged deletions is said to have been made at the end of January this year, just as Scotland Yard was launching Operation Weeting, its new inquiry into the affair.
The allegation directly contradicts repeated claims from News International that it is co-operating fully with police in order to expose its history of illegal news-gathering. It is likely to be seen as evidence that the company could not pass a 'fit and proper person' test for its proposed purchase of BSkyB.
Takeaway: Things can always get worse.

Shimano engineers decided NOT to do one thing when they designed the SH-WM82 Women's Cycling Shoe—mess around. The WM82 is built with a narrower heel and lower volume toebox to better cradle the female foot. The anatomically-correct fit maximizes pedaling efficiency and prevents feet from 'falling asleep' even after several hours in the saddle. Wrapped in tough synthetic leather and cinched down with a micro-adjust buckle and dual offset straps, the fit and durability of the WM82 is second-to-none, just like you.
- Reinforced toe box deflects rogue branches looking to harm your piggies
- Fiberglass sole for maximum stiffness and rigidity when hammering on the pedals
- Synthetic leather upper is extremely durable for several seasons of use and abuse
- Polyamide tread provides ample grip on slickrock and coffee shop floors alike

Nice, comfortable shoe

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
These are great mountain bike shoes so far. They are comfortable for riding, bush whacking, and hike a bike. I wear a womens 7.5 street shoe (Dansko 38) and the 39 fits perfectly. I originally ordered the 40 using the sizing chart, but they were too big. The tread is good on dirt. A little slippery on rocks, but that is normal. I will put them to the test in Moab this fall.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These are a good set of cycling shoes, I use them for my roadie and my mtb. The ratchet system helps you get them to fit just right. Only thing I don't like about them is that my shimano cleats hit the ground a little when you walk and make the grip a bit slippery and noisy.

Check out the sizing chart by the price in the upper right. You'd most likely be a 40 or 40.5.

It looks like a small garage from the outside, but just through its doors, you're standing on 1-inch thick equestrian grade-flooring with ropes and rings dangling from the ceiling. The flooring is oriented toward the crossfit workouts at this new Rockland business.
Crossfit Momentum is located on Main Street in Nyack with access off of Catherine Street.
CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide, according to its website. Their program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Our specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist.
About Crossfit Momentum
Four partners made the collective decision to open Crossfit Momentum: Stephanie Vaughan, Matthew Apol, Brian Aherne, all from Nyack and Peter Sunden from Park Ridge, NJ.
"We were training together out of another facility and wanted to train a different way, our own way," said Apol. "We put some numbers together, the pros and cons and said we could make it happen."
All four have been working out together for more than a year and Sunden and Apol are also close childhood friends.
"Space was important. We wanted an open durable space," said Aherne.
There are classes in the morning and evening.
"Right now we have just a program for adults, but we'll open a crossfit kids program for all ages soon," said Vaughan. "We want to start them off young so this becomes part of their lifestyle."
Aherne added that there will be weekly open free workouts in the future as well as a scholarship program for community athletes.
About Crossfit
The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience, according to its website.
Current members range from age 18 to late 60s.
"We're open to everybody. We offer people general physical fitness to training for triatheletes," said Vaughan. "Crossfit is a program where everybody works out together in small group trainings. Instead of train-client with personal trainers, think of it as coach-team. You're working as a team, pushing each other to get better. There's strengthening, conditioning, skill training and it's all highly scale-able."
They've used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. They scale load and intensity; they don't change programs.
"We take specialty courses and want to have an open source to share ideas and techniques," said Sunden. "I just returned from a seminar (recently)."
The four partners take professional development seriously.
"Continued health education is important in our field," said Apol.
The facility also records its members data and tracks progress.
"The confidence carries over to work and personal life," said Vaughan. "Our members find that they can unlock and discover their potential in other parts of their lives after joining crossfit."
"My life has been changed because of crossfit," said Aherne. "People realize things they could never do. I thought I could never do a pullup before."
"It also carries over physically," said Apol. "We train firefighters, police officers, the military and they testified that crossfit has made them more efficient in their jobs."
Grand Opening
Jan. 12 is the official opening date.
Open to the public, there will be an informational open house with workouts, small competitions, a bbq, prizes and sponsors. Gypsy Donut is providing coffee.
Check back with Patch for more details.

This was our first trip to Texas and we could not have been more pleased! This is a beautiful condo and the owner is super to work with! The pictures are nice, but don't really show how new and modern the unit is. It is enjoyable just to hang out there. Add to that, a nice pool and a view of the lake and how could you go wrong? It was also fun to go downtown to Granbury square and browse the shops and try different restaurants. I can't say enough about this great pick!

Add 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, undissolved yeast, and rosemary, if desired. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into 3 equal pieces; form each into smooth ball. Arrange balls in greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

I used Bob's Red Mill Cracked Wheat Hot Cereal and the exact amount of flour requested. Instead of butter I used fat free sour cream. I let the dough initially rise in a warm place for 30 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), and then an additional 45 minutes once in the loaf pan. The dough rose beautifully! The rosemary was a wonderful addition, I absolutely LOVED this bread and will definitely make it again!
Excellent recipe, I use bulger, add rasins, and nuts. Omit the rosemary and egg wash. This is definely a keeper.
Instead of using the cracked wheat,I used Bob's Red Mill 10 grain hot cereal.I really can't rate this according to the orginal recipe because I tried to make this more like a 10 grain bread.I had to use more flour than called for .I found that this was very dense and heavy.When I mixed this according to the recipe flour amounts, the mixture was very sticky.therefore I had to add more flour to be able to work with it.Mabe because I used the grains instead of the cracked wheat.If anyone tries out this recipe as I did,mabe you can experiment a little more than I did.I was afraid to keep adding more flour.I will try this recipe again using the cracked wheat to see if it makes a difference in the texture.Aside from not getting much rise,it had a wonderful taste.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — "If you spend too much time looking back, then you may miss what is right in front of you."
I forgot who told me that, but it is something that I never forgot. I remember it not because it is prophetic in any way. I remember it because of how wrong it can be. I am constantly asked why I prefer to live in the past with just about everything I do. I don't listen to music that was recorded past 1992, I watch television shows that peaked in the 1970's and most of my favorite movies were all made before 1980.
Most of my life is spent trying to avoid responsibility so I can live with the same carefree attitude I had in the 70's when I was a young boy growing up in a small world. Don't get me wrong, I have seen what the modern era has to offer and, aside from some very cool movies, there isn't a lot that I feel I am missing out on.
The notion that you should always look forward and never look back is fraught with inaccuracies. First of all; whatever happened to learning from the past? If we are intent upon not making the same mistakes that were made years ago, then shouldn't we remember those mistakes and the lessons we have learned from them? It only makes sense.
What about formulating a decision based on life experiences? People say that experience is the best teacher, yet these same people say that we should look to the future and ignore the past. To me, that does not make any sense. I am just not one of those people that can separate my future from my past. Over the years, I have learned to trust the lessons that experience has to offer.

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
Imipramine is used to treat the symptoms of depression. It works on the central nervous system (CNS) to increase levels of certain chemicals in the brain. This medicine is a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA).
Imipramine tablets are also used to treat enuresis (bedwetting) in children.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:

However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving imipramine.
