Linda Benson's Stories in the Cemetery
Sunday, July 13 (at the grave sites), 6 pm, rain or shine.
Sunday, August 10, 2014 (staged for those unable to visit the grave sites), 6 pm, rain or shine.
Anchorage Memorial Park Cemetery, 9th and Cordova (across from the Sheraton).
Free admission (donations for the actors appreciated).
This is the fourth annual Stories in the Cemetery event. Costumed actors stand by the grave sites of some of the people buried in the cemetery and tell their stories.
This event has proved to be very popular, with several hundred people attending. One attendee said, "As a result of Stories in the Cemetery, I have a better understanding of our city. When out-of-state friends visit, I take them to the cemetery."
Linda Benson is a Storytellers' Guild of Anchorage member. She is also an accomplished actor, director, and creator of historically-inspired performance art.
The Storytellers' Guild of Anchorage was formed in 1996 in order to co-sponsor Tellabration! 96 with the Alaska Center for the Book. Since then, the guild has sponsored Tellabration! each year. Tellabration! and other storytelling events held by the guild give Anchorage residents an opportunity to take part in the worldwide storytelling renaissance. The guild meets once a month (except Dec, June, July, Aug). Meetings are open to all storytellers and aspiring storytellers who wish to grow in the practice of this art. You can contact several of the members of the guild individually by email from this website.

Will the Border Ever Be Secure Enough for Immigration Hawks?By Molly Ball, The Atlantic
Border security could be the issue that kills immigration reform. And yet, by most measures, the U.S.-Mexico border has never been safer.Read more
The bipartisan group of U.S. senators seeking comprehensive immigration reform have proposed a "trigger" mechanism, whereby a path to citizenship would be contingent on increased border security. President Obama and liberals have not endorsed the idea, although the president is "committed to increasing our border security further," according to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Florida Governor's Embrace of Medicaid Money Undercuts GOP Attacks on 'Obamacare'By Beth Reinhard and Margot Sanger-Katz, National Journal

White House Tactic for C.I.A. Bid Holds Back Drone MemosBy Mark Mazzetti and Scott Shane, The New York Times

A More Perfect PollBy Molly Ball, The Atlantic
In the 2012 presidential election, we all thought we were smarter than the pollsters. Conservatives flocked to a site called UnskewedPolls.com, whose proprietor reconstituted the polls of major media organizations in proportions better suited to his vision of the American electorate—that is, one with more Republicans in it. Liberals, for their part, elevated to demigod status the statistician and New York Times blogger Nate Silver, who poured those same polls into a meat grinder and produced a neatly encased pronouncement that Barack Obama was overwhelmingly likely to win.Read more

With Cutbacks Days Away, Obama Tries to Pressure G.O.P.By Jackie Calmes, The New York Times
Days away from another fiscal crisis and with Congress on vacation, President Obama began marshaling the powers of the presidency on Tuesday to try to shame Republicans into a compromise that could avoid further self-inflicted job losses and damage to the fragile recovery. But so far, Republicans were declining to engage.Read more

Obama Can't Kick His Legacy Down the RoadBy Gloria Borger, CNN

Deficit Hawks Simpson and Bowles: Skirt the sequesterBy Susan Davis, USA Today

Government Slowly Changes Approach To Whistle-BlowersBy Carrie Johnson, NPR
The federal government once considered whistle-blowers a nuisance or worse. But over the past few years, that attitude has slowly started to change. More agencies have been reaching out for tips about fraud and abuse in and outside the government, even if digging through the stacks of complaints can present a challenge.Read more
Will Higher Taxes on the Rich Derail California's Economic Comeback?By Jim Tankersley, The Washington Post
If there's anyplace in the country where rising tax rates should choke off an economic recovery, it's California. On top of the federal tax hikes that kicked in last month, the state has just raised income taxes on its wealthiest residents to the highest levels in the nation, a move that conservatives warn will drive millionaires and their companies to other states, taking jobs and growth with them.Read more

Summer Holidays
Memorial Day Weekend, 4th of July, Labor Day Weekend
Summer is a wonderful time at the Evergreen and in Yosemite when everyday feels like a holiday. With that said, we do plan special events for Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day.
Memorial Day Weekend
Memorial Day is an exciting time at the lodge as summer officially gets underway and we welcome the Strawberry Music Festival to our next door neighbor, Camp Mather. During the day many guests join us on guided trips to experience this dynamic time of year as snow and water play a prominent role throughout the Park. The tavern becomes a meeting place for festival goers, nearby campers and lodge guests eager to hoist a beer and watch the NBA playoffs on our big screen. At night, we host live bands in the Tavern and we open our outdoor dining for meals and libations under the stars. Come kick start your summer with us and enjoy this festive time!
4th Of July Holiday
Enjoy an authentic 4th of July (without the fireworks) at the Evergreen as folks of all ages play horseshoes, ping pong, volleyball and enjoy warm nights in the beer garden and under the stars. We usually host a band or two during the holiday and locals and campers in the area stop by to celebrate with us. Look for our special holiday cocktails for kids and adults alike and help us toast our Independence Day.
Labor Day Weekend
Similar to Memorial Day, we welcome the Strawberry Music Festival to the area on Labor Day weekend, while also celebrating the end of a wonderful summer. Live music fills the tavern at night and by day our guests explore all the nooks and crannies of the Park and the exquisite nearby swimming holes. The weather is ideal this time of year with warm days, pleasant nights and the beginning of beautiful fall colors. Come join us for one final summer outing with friends and family!

Puzzle - Hint
We have been quite lucky with the weather recently, it has got steadily warmer each day, over the last five days.
By this, I mean that the temperature rose by the same amount each day.
The average temperature was 2 degrees C and I know it froze on two occasions.
I also know the product of the temperatures was over 500 degrees but below 2,000 degrees and each temperature was an integer.
What were the last 5 temperatures?

Cale Bergh was definitely minding his own business when he took our advice and buried his nose in Call to Action. Then, book in hand, he took a hard-eyed squint at his under-converting online baby (FormulaZone) and started to perform magic.1
Constrained by a limited budget, Cale identified several critical areas he could easily and inexpensively influence. In a mere nine days, this do-it-yourselfer more than doubled his site's conversion rate!
Communicating relevance is essential online - no matter the goals of your site, it must always "speak to the dog, in the language of the dog, about what matters to the heart of the dog." You do your conversion rate an enormous favor when you identify the core of relevance and value for your audience, then communicate these in engaging and appropriate language.
Cale realized his site needed to serve up a juicy plate of meat, so he rewrote his copy. Climbing into the mindset of his audience, he addressed their heart-felt needs and detailed the benefits (rather than features) of his company's healthy-living program. "You know how great you'll feel when the Zone Diet starts working in just a few days ... And you'll love feeling the certainty that there's no way you'll be 'Giving Up' ... Let us show you how ..."
A clean, consistent, professional look/feel reinforces the image of your business and is one of the ways through which your audience develops the essential confidence and trust to feel comfortable taking action.
Cale removed many of the site's former design gimmicks, regularized his color scheme and developed a layout template that helped unify the appearance of his site across all pages. His interim results aren't fancy, but they have greatly improved the perceived image of his business.
The navigation structures you build into your Web site should be your most effective search tool. In general, folks rely on site structure over in-site search functions to help them qualify their needs.
Cale's site presented a confusing collection of navigational elements that ultimately impeded momentum. He replaced these with a consistent navigation scheme and levels of information that helped visitors quickly answer their buying decision process questions. To help get the ball rolling, Cale also replaced a centrally-located banner with a simple "Free Zone Diet Profile" - three questions that got visitors interacting immediately with the site.
Every site presents plenty of low-hanging-fruit opportunities to boost conversion rates. And as Cale demonstrates, combining a willingness to level a critical eye at something that obviously isn't working the way you'd like it to with the proven tactics detailed in Call to Action makes it possible, even for do-it-yourselfers, to achieve impressive results. Best of all, this is only the beginning!
Are you ready to astound yourself? Words, people and action come together in a one-time-only event: The Call to Action Seminar. The Eisen-authors interweave conversion rate marketing principles with incredibly effective solutions and make the information they conveyed in their book come alive before your very eyes. Nobody does enthusiasm the way they do!
Be there. See for yourself. And walk away transformed.
1 Cale's case study appeared in Catherine Seda's Search Engine Sales E-Zine, Q2 2005. Thanks, Catherine, for allowing us to present the information here! www.sedacommunication.com

I've been to Bocca at least 4 times and had a great experience each time. That's why I so surprised to see the negative reviews. The green dip that they serve with the bread is amazing and unique and off the menu I have loved the Papparadelle with Lamb Ragu, The Agnolotti, and a lot of great specials too. Love this place.
Posted by vito on 06/26/2013
The food here is a high quality the chef Claudio Cristifoli is a real chef. The decor is rustic. The service is FROM ALL ITALIAN WAITERS THAT KNOW THER CULTURE.
Posted by HJG on 06/19/2013
I looked at this page because I wanted to see how late they serve tonight. Then I looked at the reviews: Not pretty! They were also ALL old reviews. I live in the neighborhood and have probably been there a dozen times since they opened. I've had dinner multiple times at the bar and of course seated in the diningroom as well as outside in warm weather. Granted at times the service seems a bit herky-jerky, but in fairness overall the experience is always positive. They have an extaordinary selection of wines by the glass and truthfully, I've never had a bad meal there. Additionally, people I have been there with never commented negatively. This is certainly not a 4 star restaurant and granted there are better restaurants in the area. But they have fair prices, a nice/ unusuall decor and an interesting menu accompanied by a good vibe. It's worth giving it a shot. BTW... I have absolutely no connection to this resataurant.....Just a happy patron.

First, when you forget the apertizers (Carpaccio di Manzo al Tartufo at 12$ each) you should say sorry and offer some kind of compensation - like offering free espresso after the dinner. Second, as a guest it's nice to see what's on your plate. My Paillard di Pollo al Rosmarino looked like a salad (the rosemary chicken was hidden), while everything on my gfs Pappardelle al Ragu d'Agnello had one color: brown. The place looks great, but the service and food was far from what I view as Italian.
Posted by Andrew L on 07/10/2012
Glad to see I am not the only one who leaves places on principle. I walked in one night with my gf and the hostess was not even concerned to make eye contact or address the fact that myself and 2 other parties were waiting there. They were also blasting music. I walked out without any thought because I don't eat anywhere that the FOH has no care. Flash forward about 2 months my gf actually "tricked" me into eating there for lunch (didn't realize it was the same place til we had already been seated and figured why not). The server was fine, I ordered the rigatonni and it was actually very delightful, pasta cooked perfectly...I would go again but if I ever saw poor service again I would be done with this place for good. And after reading the womans "stroller story" and other service complaints...I actually might skip it for a while again.
Posted by Jennifer on 06/02/2012
We went there today to sit outside and enjoy a meal at lunchtime for my husband's birthday. There were several tables available outdoors, many that were on the side street out of the way. In fact, we saw another couple with a baby in a stroller over there which is why we decided to stop as we had our 3 week old daughter with us. The hostess told us that there was nothing available for us with room for a stroller and if we wanted to stay we'd have to leave her on the other side of the barrier on the sidewalk...seriously? Those other people were allowed to be on the inside area of the outdoor seating with their stroller. We decided to go somewhere else. I've eaten here before and the food was excellent. I should mention that we tried to make reservations for a party of four when my parents were in from out of town and were told that reservations were for parties of 6 or more and to not bother to show up to walk in because there would be nothing available. I think I'll go elsewhere after these two incidents.
Posted by anonymous on 03/29/2012
I was excited to see this place open in my neighborhood but it was one of the poorest experiences I have had in years. The hostess was very friendly and sat us immediately. The waiter was nice but had no idea about the wine or menu. I have worked in restaurants for the past 15 years and am very patient with new waitstaff but he was not ready to be taking tables on his own. We would ask a question, he would leave to find the answer and be gone for 10 min. The table beside us sat, ate 2 courses and was paying the bill by the time we got our bottle of wine. Salads were good, entrees not so much. My pasta came out stuck completely together. It had been a long day and we both just wanted to enjoy some wine, dessert and chat so after dinner we moved to the bar hoping to end on a pleasant note. The bartender was very nice and interested in discussing the wine list, he brought us 3 different sips of wine to taste but they all tasted off. The wine system they have requires all of their wine by the glass to be opened ahead of time, they are not going thru it fast enough and it is spoiling. In the middle of our tasting the manager called the bartender over and when the bartender returned he informed us his manager said we can not taste anything else we just need to order. This was the last straw. The pleasant bartender was undoing our poor dining experience and we would have ordered another bottle of wine, dessert and left happy because of the pleasant ending not the rough beginning. Instead we left feeling like we just wasted $100 and still wanted a decent wine and dessert. Do not waste your money at this place, I guarantee you will have a better experience anywhere else.

Saratoga Springs • A perceived lack of transparency, lost zoning records and an explanation on the part of two Saratoga Springs City Council members for a private conversation that took place during an open meeting have prompted some residents in this Utah County community to pursue a legal battle.
On Nov. 13, City Council members discussed a rezoning ordinance to a current undeveloped piece of land that would allow triplex apartments in Saratoga Springs Development — an upscale neighborhood with $500,000 lakefront property surrounded by a golf course adjacent to Utah Lake.
The change would allow the landowners, Capital Assets Financial Services, to develop the nearly 12-acre property with fewer buildings with more people in them. The mansion-style apartments are divided into three family units. But the homeowners association where the development is proposed doesn't want to see a mixed development created.
""We don't want duplexes and triplexes taking over our area," said Neighbors Against Density Abuse (NADA) president Troy Jenkins, who lives on Centennial Boulevard, which is on the street of the development. "We don't want the city of Saratoga to be a multifamily-housing city."
To that end, a civil suit was filed in 4th District Court on Dec. 12 by NADA — a group of more than 1,000 residents — against Saratoga Springs on allegations of violating the state open and public meetings law and also passing an illegal ordinance. The lawsuit asks the judge to find the city at fault for violating the Open and Public Meetings Act and reverse the council's decision and pay for legal fees.
In addition to the court battle, Utah County certified a petition recently will allow the rezoning ordinance to be voted on by residents in November.
Saratoga Springs planning director Jim McNulty told The Salt Lake Tribune earlier that Green Springs Manor — the planned development — has been part of the city's master plan since 1998. He said the issue is "dividing the community" but all the residents' referendum in November will do is delay when shovels start hitting the ground.
"We don't think it is going to change the project," he said.
NADA member Barbie Riccardelli said she's pleased residents will vote on the zoning issue this November.
"They need to listen to us," she said of city officials, adding that residents in Saratoga Springs worried about open areas transforming into crowded higher-density units.
The group is working on an initiative to repeal the existing overlay and future abilities for the city to allow higher density development above that permitted under city zoning regulations known as a Planned Unit Development (PUD).
A question of an open meeting violation came on Nov. 13, when City Council members Rebecca Call and Shellie Baertsch went from talking to each other in a meeting to leaving the chambers to "meet privately" with the city manager and city attorney, according to court records. There was no vote to close the meeting or a public announcement to have a private meeting, court records state. When the two came back in about 10 minutes later, according to several in attendance, the vote on the controversial ordinance was made and approved with both women voting in favor of the zone change along with Bernard "Bud" Poduska, according to court records. The two other council members voted against it.
However, Brigham Young University communications professor Joel Campbell, an expert on Utah's public meetings laws, said it's likely the city didn't technically violate any law since there weren't enough people to make up a quorum at the meeting. Campbell pointed out by state law there need to be at least three council members out of the five to make a quorum. But that doesn't mean the city employees couldn't have been more transparent, he said.
"It is troubling they would do this without thinking how the public views this," Campbell said. "You really shouldn't have two people just up and leave; you should do it as a body ... Otherwise, it ends up raising a lot of questions."
Baertsch declined to comment on what she discussed with Call behind closed doors and her reasoning for voting, citing the ongoing litigation.
Call wouldn't tell residents either until a senior member of NADA emailed her asking why she voted the way she did despite months of opposition from the home owners association about the rezoning plans for the development.
In an email, Call responded that she and Baertsch would rather see a different development but feared a lawsuit by the developer.
"We both do not encourage nor agree with granting any additional mid to high density in the city ... if we had made the opposite decision, we would have been legally and morally obligated to pay detrimental reliance to the developer; for I believe those decisions made long ago entitled him to something we would now be taking away," Call wrote in the email.
Call was referring to what previous City Councils granted to the developer who understood the land to be zoned for multi-family homes, but it was never officially recorded that way. She said if the entire city was willing to take on the repercussions for voting against the zone change, "we would have voted that way."
Call then encouraged the NADA member to "convince" residents this is why she voted yes, according to the December email.
Residents in the Talon's Cove golf course neighborhood say they just want the zoning to go back to a place for single family homes.
"No one is against development," said resident Jimmy Kawato, who added they just want to keep the uncrowded lots that were originally zoned for the area.
The city plans to move forward with the development even if the rezoning is repealed. Initially, the city thought it needed to rezone the area, but later realized because of a Saratoga Springs Master Development Agreement in 2000 that included the PUD on the low-density property still allowed them to accomplish what they want.

Your Toddler at 28 Months, 29 Months, & 30 Months
TV: A Different Kind of Pacifier
In 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended parents eliminate television viewing for children under two and limit viewing for older children. At a time when Barney and Teletubbies were topics even adults were talking about, this made quite a splash—and the debate still is a hot one.
Think about it: How much TV does your child watch? Some of our faces may turn crimson when we realize just how much our young children watch daily. But for some parents, turning the TV on is strategic: It is not a replacement for the quality time spent with mom or dad but a way for parents to cook dinner or return an important phone call while knowing that our kids are safe in the company of Caillou or the Wonder Pets.
But when does the TV-watching privilege get abused? For more thoughts and feedback from other parents, check out these BabyZone articles:
- No TV under Two? Understanding What's Best for Your Baby & Toddler
- What TV Is Teaching Our Kids
- Tuned In or Out: A Review of the "No TV" Debate
Art Projects for the Home
Children this age will turn off the TV when engaged in interesting activities. Art projects are great because they maintain kids' interest while challenging different development areas. (Review what your pint-size Picasso is developmeantally capable of, here.) They can easily be done inside on a rainy day or outside during the spring and summer. Remember it is the process that kids learn from, not the finished product. (Though what kid doesn't like to see his creation posted prominently on the refrigerator door—or on one of these cool displays?)
Try these arty projects:
- Painting either with watercolors or tempera (that easily washes out of clothing and off little fingers)
- Stickers of animals, trucks, or of others things that are interesting to your child specifically
- Sidewalk chalk that washes clean with a little water
- Molding with clay or dough that inspires wonderful creations (making a birthday cake is an all-time favorite). The best part of modeling dough is that it can be made in your own kitchen with your child's help. (Click here for a play dough recipe that takes just minutes to make.)

Immersive virtual environments -- such as Second Life and some enterprise-friendly alternatives -- have traditionally required users to download special software and learn a difficult user interface. But several companies are working to change that, offering business-friendly virtual meeting platforms that work right in a Web browser, no software download required, with prices starting at around $50 a month.
Immersive virtual meeting environments allow participants to use avatars to walk around a virtual environment, and are useful tools for collaborating on and prototyping 3D designs, such as new products, buildings, or factories.

The municipal offices of St. Cloud, Minnesota are the first in the sfachc.org country to install a visible light communication system in place of Wi-Fi. The system, which uses LED fixtures to connect office computers to the internet, is saving lots of viagra how much energy, and the city of St. Cloud lots of money on energy bills.
The system was installed by LVX System, a Minnesota-based start-up and cialis cheap consists of LED lights that flicker thousands of times per second at speeds undetectable by the human eye. The flickering of light communicates binary code to special modems attached to computers below (off is zero, on is cheapest cialis one) that then transmit data back to the fixtures where a sensor receives the data and transmits it over the internet.
According to www.barefootfoundation.com LVX, the systems save 30 to 80 percent on look here buying cialis without prescription lighting costs, usually enough to match or mostly pay for the internet service. One of the lifeinabundance.org LED fixtures uses about 36 watts of power compared to 100 watts used by a similar fluorescent office lighting fixture.
LVX sees the technology as not only an energy-effiicient and cost-effective alternative to Wi-Fi, but a solution to overcrowded Wi-Fi networks and the slower connections they create.
Right now, the LVX system can transmit about 3 Mbps, roughly the speed of cialis at real low prices a residential DSL line. So, it's not exactly ready to be swapped in for Wi-Fi in most businesses, but LVX expects to increase that speed. The company is also working on making smart lights that brighten and dim depending on available natural light and turn off automatically when a room empties.

ARCnetShort for Attached Resource Computer network, ARCnet is one of the oldest, simplest, and least expensive types of local-area network. ARCnet was introduced by Datapoint Corporation in 1977. It uses a token-ring architecture, supports data rates of 2.5 Mbps, and connects up to 255 computers. A special advantage of ARCnet is that it permits various types of transmission media -- twisted-pair wire, coaxial cable, and fiber optic cable -- to be mixed on the same network.
A new specification, called ARCnet Plus, will support data rates of 20 Mbps.

I would have to agree! She's definitely the prettiest sis. Far prettier than Jameelah..kind of goofy looking.
I thought Taliah was prettier and sexier than her younger sisters. I don't know how she lost that poll by so much. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The Houston office of Dr. Conrad Murray is currently being raided by federal authorities and they are looking specifically for all medical records relating to Michael Jackson.
8 Drug Enforcement Agency vehicles arrived at his offices about 30 minutes ago. Two LAPD detectives also arrived on scene along with uniformed members of the Houston Police Department and 10 members of the DEA's Tactical Diversion Team. There are another dozen or so DEA agents on hand.
The law enforcement agents, armed with a search warrant, entered the property and began going through the property.
The LAPD asked the DEA for help in serving the warrant on the Armstrong Medical Clinic in Houston. The warrant is sealed.
Dr. Murray was Michael Jackson's personal physician, he was the man who performed CPR on Jackson before he died.
Last night, Murray's lawyer, Edward Chernoff, issued a statement on his website regarding investigators asking for more medical records:
"The coroner wants to clear up the cause of death; we share that goal. Based on Dr. Murray's minute-by-minute and item-by-item description of Michael Jackson's last days, he should not be a target of criminal charges."

Join TCIA Now!
TCIA recently learned that former Marine Israel Showvaker, owner of I & E Specialties Tree Care in Aurora, Colorado, recently had his work truck vandalized by thieves.
According to Showvaker, all the equipment he needs to operate his tree care company has been stolen. Missing items include a $180 climbing line, various rigging and specialty ropes, a GPS and a mobile credit card processing machine.
A 9news.com report mentioned that Showvaker and his family have already been struggling financially due to medical bills related to the premature birth of their twins earlier this year. One of them passed away at just 8 weeks old.
"I was sick to my stomach, you know. I was angry," Showvake told 9news.com. "I have a lot of mouths to feed and it's shock, disbelief, anger. At one point, I just laid down on the street [when] I realized they took everything I need to rig and remove trees."
To help with the missing equipment and financial setback, TCIA asks that you contact I & E Specialties Tree Care at (303) 809-3350 to inquire about donations. You may also visit their Facebook page and website to learn more about how you can help.

Thermal performance of a cooling system for a small sea led computer is investigated. The cooling system consisted of a heat pipe unit which transfers heat from the CPU and northbridge chip to the case wall which had vertical fin channels mounted on the outside. Natural convection and radi at ion moved the heat from the fin plate to the surroundings. An initial benchmarking experiment determined the temperature drop across each component in the system and identi fied th e areas of focus for further research.
The heat pipe unit was se lected for initial analysis based on the benchmarking experiment. Heat pipes with sintered wick and grooved wick structures were tested at different orientations with respect to gravity. Gravity was found to cause failure of the groove wick heat pipe in certain orientations while the sintered wick was able to function adequately in any orientation.
Carbon foam is a new material with the potential for very high thermal conductivity, 2-3 times that of copper. Based on the variable performance of heat pipes, carbon foam was investigated as a possible solution. Investigations determined carbon foam had thermal conductivity in the range 30-130 W/mK, but it had high specific thermal conductivity, over fo ur times that of copper which means it could be useful in applications that are weight sensitive.
Literature research was conducted on the topic of rectangular channel fin perfo rmance and an analytical model was found to estimate performance for different fin geometries. A radiation shape factor equation for rectangular channel fins was also found. Together the models were used to estimate the best fin geometry to maximize natural convection and radiation heat transfer. Heat spreading in the fin plate was investigated using numerical simulation validated by the analytical models and previous studies of similar geometries.
A system model is developed to combine the temperature drops of all components of the system to quickly determine the affect of changing one parameter on the temperature of the CPU. Notable results include the highest power CPU that can be used in the current system, the highest surrounding temperature that a 35 W CPU can run in and the size of fin plate needed to run a 65 W CPU in a 40°C environment.

No there's more to it than that.
When he first emerged he was a tubby blow-hard who told tales out of school (an early nickname was "The Witness", after he gave evidence against Matthew Hayden when the latter had said some nasty things to the poor, fragile little lamb) whose idea of leading from the front was to go and bat at #5 when he couldn't lay bat on the swinging ball.
He's matured now, but early on his idea of leading from the front was being a massive cock and badmouthing players who'd paid their dues and, in some instances, whose jockstrap he wasn't fit to carry.

Yeah, developing a habit of stealing our players it would seem.
Hants did offer him a deal but he turned it down, is very apparent that we can no longer compete on wages, imagine him and Kabir were on a fair amount.
Not overly troubled with losing Katich though, especially if Mckenzie comes back. Really hoping we can get an overseas bowler instead.

Rob Key has stood down as Kent captain after seven years in the role. An extremely likeable chap,imo, and tactically a very switched on skipper. There's nothing in the reports to suggest he's retiring from cricket, which is a good thing, because I'm sure he still has plenty to offer Kent as a batsman and also I expect he will be a big help to new skipper James Tredwell.
Interesting shout for Fat Bob's replacement. To be polite, Tredwell has never struck one as an especially deep thinker...

Project MNsure: Affordable Care Act Affects Small Businesses
Small businesses with fewer than 50 employers can either buy health insurance through MNsure, Minnesota's new health care exchange, or send their employees there to buy it on their own.
Larger companies, even those with just over 50 full-time employees, are now required to provide insurance for employees or pay fines. The Affordable Care Act also mandates these companies provide insurance that meets certain minimum standards that limits the share of the monthly premiums employees have to pay.
In our third installment of "Project MNsure," we profile a fast-growing small company in Minnesota that prides itself on paying 100 percent of employee health insurance premiums. The company CEO says health care reform mandates mean his employees might soon have to start sharing the cost.
Click here to see the second installment of "Project MNsure," where we look at the side effects health care reform could have on employees at large companies.
Click here to see the first installment of "Project MNsure," where we look into how young Minnesotans will be required to buy insurance and how much it will cost them.

Wiktionary:Changing username
Before filing a request please consider the following:
- If the change is small, such as adding or removing numbers or changing vowels, it is normally better to change your signature to alter your appearance.
- It is quicker and easier to simply create a new account and link to your old contributions. Dead accounts are harmless.
- Signatures and other hardcoded text will not be changed, you will have to manually edit to get rid of them.
- Single Unified Login: To usurp an existing account:
- Please add
{{subst:usurpation requested}}or similar to their talk page. If that account has email enabled, please email them and explain the situation. Wait for a week after giving notification for any objections, then post the result here.
- Please post a link to a diff in a project where you are active. The diff should be an edit made from your account to a talk page or similar acknowledging that yes, it's you making this request. See this example.
- Please add
- You are asking for a favour; please be polite and remain patient. In particular, do not pester bureaucrats.

Once you've decided that a change is the best way forward:
- Check Special:Listusers to see whether your desired name is not already taken. While it is possible to hijack existing user accounts without their permission, this is undesirable and will require a special reason.
- Click add your request and explain clearly why you want to make the change, you must sign your request from your old account.
- Wait patiently for one of our bureaucrats to deal with your request.
Once fulfilled[edit]
Your old account will not exist anymore. All edits and other user data (including preferences and watchlist) from your old account will be reattributed to your new account. You can log in with your old password. A log of these changes is kept at Special:Log/renameuser and the requests are archived here.
- You should move your old User: and User_talk: pages to your new user name; don't just copy the content.
- If you wish you can recreate your old account and request that an administrator block it to prevent other users from impersonating you.

I would prefer to use this name on all wikis. Readopedia (talk) 19:47, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
User:Project Weber → User:Efclosson[edit]
As you cannot have a username that is the same as an organization's name, I would like to change my username.
- Hi. You need to log on as User:Project Weber and sign your request with ~~~~ so that we know the request is valid. Thanks. —Stephen (Talk) 18:29, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
Project Weber → efclosson7[edit]
Hello. I would like to change the username because it is the name of an organization and so it does not meet wiki requirements.
- Done, renamed to User:Efclosson7. —Stephen (Talk) 19:10, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
User:JimDerby → User:Jim Derby[edit]
When I go back and forth between Wikipedia and Wiktionary it would be easier if I had the same user name.

Hi; I would like to have my current username changed for SUL purposes to be 'RandomDSdevel' so as to reflect the fact that I recently switched over to this username on Wikipedia because of how my old username contains my initials. Could you do that for me, please?

User:Astral → User:Cloudcuckoolander[edit]
So that I don't end up as Astral~enwiktionary come May 27. There doesn't seem to be anyone using the account name Cloudcuckoolander on other Wikimedia projects. It's a bit ungainly, I know, but I like it and it keeps me from having to resort to using something with random numerals. Astral (talk) 04:02, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- Much appreciated! Cloudcuckoolander (talk) 23:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
User:AcSIR → User:ash_61117[edit]
I want to change my Username as current username might reflect that I have created a page on behalf of the AcSIR (i.e. to promote it), while, I just wanted to share with the aspiring Indian researchers like me that there is this Academy which has just begun with the support of established Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) of India.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks, Ashwini
- I am not comfortable with doing this, because your account was blocked indefinitely on English Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you can have your username changed at w:User:AcSIR first, then we will be glad to do it here as well. —Stephen (Talk) 19:42, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

User:Kontos → User:Sanyi4[edit]
I would like "Kontos" to be renamed to "Sanyi4", so that I can attach it to my global account. "Sanyi4" already exists. Both "Kontos" and "Sanyi4" belong to me. It is important that the current "Sanyi4" be renamed to "Sanyi4 (usurped)", not something else! Confirmation: [1]. Thanks. -- Kontos (talk) 22:26, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
User:Helafamilystories → User:LawrenceLacks[edit]
When we established this username to add information to the Henrietta Lacks entry, we did not realize the "promotional policy" user name thing. Our book is called "HeLa Family Stories," so this is a clear violation of the policy. Our apologies. Feel free to change our username to LawrenceLacks. Thank you!
- It does not matter to us here. Perhaps Wikipedia has different rules. If you want the username changed, we can do it, but it is up to you. —Stephen (Talk) 08:44, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

It has been a wild ride doing online activities, so feel free to consider this rename request a kind of online redemption attempt. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 04:51, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- Note that we can only rename your en.wikt account, thereby detaching it from your global (SUL) account. To rename all those accounts and have a single SUL account again, you'd have to submit requests at all those sites. Please confirm that you're O.K. with that, and would like your en.wikt account to be renamed. —RuakhTALK 06:14, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

trying to unify User:Econterms[edit]
I'm User:Econterms. I've unified accounts across Wikimedia except for en:wikitionary because I don't know my account's password here any more. (I keep trying to remember it when I am inspired to edit here, but can't remember.) From this "CentralAuth" page I gather this means I am asking to "usurp" the account here. Can you enable me to unify it? Or advise me what to do? Thank you in advance. This edit demonstrates that I can log in to other accounts as user:econterms. -- econterms 23:59, 24 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi. In order to usurp that username, you need to create a temporary username here (such as User:Econterms(temp)) and log in and note the request using that name. Then I can usurp User:Econterms and rename Econterms(temp) to Econterms. —Stephen (Talk) 00:59, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

I hold the unified login SamB[[4]], and user:SamB here supposedly made an edit to an article back in 2009, but there's no public record of what that edit was, and he or she does not appear to have any other history here.

Snyder's Sandwich: Town's Young Police And Fire Chiefs Getting It Done
By: MARK SNYDER, February 21, 2014
Snyder's Sandwich spoke with the town's two public safety administrators, Police Chief Peter Wack and Fire Chief William Carrico. Both are 47 years old. Carrico is shiny and new, coming from a stint at fire chief in Lakeville. Wack has been here since July of 2010, and came from the Connecticut State Police.
They both have another thing in common. They have very tight budgets and not enough men and women on the streets. They also battle overtime costs.
State police statistics usually recommend that towns have two officers for every 1,000 residents. That would work out to 41 or 42 officers for the Town of Sandwich. Sandwich has 34. Unfortunately, the entire Cape doesn't have any police departments that reach the recommended minimums.
Wack has previously requested to try to get six civilian dispatchers, who would then free up the six police officers who have to stay inside answering calls. Four of them would have gone on patrols, and two would have been added to the detective division.
That plan didn't get through, and now a plan by Barnstable Sheriff James Cummings could provide a regional dispatch model. The town would still pay toward it, but the facility and personnel would be located elsewhere. It could greatly alter the comfort of residents to come in personally and report crimes, according to some. The pros and cons will be debated—but not here.
Sadly, there is currently ONE detective working investigations for the Town of Sandwich. There are technically two other detective-level personnel on staff—one is assigned to court duties and the other is focused exclusively on breaking up the drug trade in town. But, that still leaves just one detective handling all the other cases that pop up. That's unbelievable! Now, on the other hand, Sandwich is not a crime-infested sinkhole. But, ONE detective?
Chief Wack told me, "We are making do with so little. Three cars are running each shift. The evening shift is so busy that they are unable to do any self-initiated activities. I've suggested a few plans to try to add one more car per shift. I've requested two additional detectives," he added.
The Sandwich Police Department has certainly been busy. In 2009, there were 7,820 police services initiated. In 2013, that number more than doubled to 19,237.
There has been no increase to the personnel in the department in those four years. The number of motor vehicle citations has increased in those same four years from 1,024 to 3,573 per year.
Chief Wack said that stops aren't all about fines.
"Most of the stops involve a warning. Our officers are given full discretion on a case-by-case basis. Studies done by the International Chiefs of Police Association show crimes against property and vandalism are substantially reduced when the blue lights are flashing in an area."
"The NTHSA (National Traffic Highway Safety Institute) says the only way to change behavior and reduce accidents is with a fine. I don't believe that. We're not state troopers in Connecticut. We're looking to reduce fatalities, not take money out of residents' pockets."
Wack was involved heavily with the Connecticut State Police's initiatives to reduce fatalities, and has taken it and used some of it here on the Cape. He's also come out front and center to reduce illicit drugs sold in the town.
"The drugs fuel break-ins and other criminal activities," Wack said. "We have pursued the drug sellers."
They have also conducted unannounced searches inside the high school and its parking lots, with the cooperation of school officials. Last year, dogs were used to sniff out the school and its lots 10 to 15 times.
Wack added, "A couple of things were thrown out of windows. Most importantly, the administration tells us that these raids impact the potential of drugs being brought into the schools."
Wack moved to Sandwich and loves the town and its people. And, as for transparency, this chief has been in the forefront of providing more information released to the press, and the public. That bodes well for the future.
What doesn't bode so well is the police station on Route 6A.
For instance, there is no security there for the movement of prisoners. They come in the garage and are taken into an unsecured hallway, where the public is present for licenses. Secretaries and officers are in the halls. They are taken to a small booking room (which recently had a video monitor added to it.). Then, they go back out the public hallway to a cell. There are no kitchens in the station. Officers and staff go to their homes for lunch—not exactly a way to build community.
The police station was built in 1972 for nine employees. There are currently 35 there, 24/7. An 11-by-14-foot room is occupied by 21 employees. Men and women share a single locker room. A new police and fire station is desperately needed.
But, there is only so much money that can be borrowed, and only so much money residents are willing to pay for their property taxes.
Sandwich police officers go through 40 hours of mandatory training, and superior officers, commanders and field training officers also attend these unfunded seminars. Their hours, along with officers out for short-term and long-term injury and illnesses,must be covered through overtime.
"Some departments cover these things with overstaffed shifts. We can't do that," Wack said.
As for Fire Chief Carrico, he put it for 12 additional hires to reopen the currently closed East Sandwich Fire Station. But it was put on hold for lack of funding. He told me that station One is "falling apart." He is, finally, going to get a mechanic that he needed.
But, the mechanic will also be a firefighter and EMT.
"We have to wear many hats in this department," Chief Carrico told me.
Both chiefs have so many great ideas, and want to do so much for the community they serve. But, they are also greatly aware of the financial restraints put on them.
With the school department asking for a 4.5 percent increase in its budget (when the maximum the town can raise taxes is 2.5 percent), this calls for prudent trimming.
Now we're hearing that a PERMANENT tax increase may be on the table to help pay school expenses. In my opinion, a permanent increase is something that should be avoided at all costs.
As for the thought that good schools attract buyers, that can be true. Realtor Susan Brown of Century 21 Cape Sails in Sandwich said that, "The elderly are moving to Sandwich because they want to be near hospitals and the bridge. But, honestly, people do buy homes there because of the good schools. The Wing School closing could be a problem. Everyone wants that school. One of our brokers has a client that will only buy in Sandwich because of the schools. They have good schools. Forestdale, Oak Ridge and the high school are well regarded. But, we now have Sturgis and that hurts all the school systems because it's rated so high. And, they also have School Choice. I know some Sandwich people who attend Barnstable schools."
Realtor Scott Zaino of William Ravais Real Estate in Osterville has sold many homes in Sandwich. He says "the bedroom community is attractive. Taxes are higher, but you get more for your money. The location seems most important. The crime rate there is very low. That's another attractive feature. It's really a great town."
Statistics say that in Sandwich the large majority of real estate purchasers do not have school-age children, and public safety, location, and our beautiful community are utmost in the minds of those buyers. Sure, we must support our schools to keep them strong. But before we spend precious borrowing on salaries, let's look at our capital needs—like a police and fire department public safety station that can serve the town, and the men and women who live there around the clock, with equal effectiveness.
(Note: This week's column was done offline because Comcast cable, TV and telephone were still not working days after the storm. It's very difficult to write under primitive conditions. As a side note, kudos to NSTar, which reconnected the Town of Sandwich back to civilization quickly after the snowstorm last weekend.)
