OURAY – For the first time ever, Ouray residents will have a chance in early 2014 to participate in Ouray City Administrator Patrick Rondinelli's annual performance evaluation.
In the past, input was solicited only from city department heads and council members. But this year, Mayor Pam Larson requested that members of the public be permitted to weigh in as well.
Public input forms are available online on the City of Ouray's website, and hard copies are available at the City Hall. Comments must be made anonymously.
City Attorney Kathryn Sellars is charged with overseeing Rondinelli's performance evaluation process. She recommended that public comments be limited to first-hand personal interactions.
As Sellars stated in a memo to council, "It is our opinion that if Council would like to include public comment as part of the evaluation process, those comments need context and limitation."
Sellars proposed that she filter public comments and only pass on to council those that meet the standard or "first-hand personal interactions."
"If it is hearsay or not a personal experience they will be eliminated from the process," Sellars proposed. "We are looking for one on one, personal knowledge with the city administrator. That's important. If you want public comment, that is the kind you are seeking. Our advice is not to get public comment."
Council, however, bristled at Sellars' proposal.
Councilor John Ferguson argued that people in the community "can have a judgement" of Rondinelli's performance without having had direct contact or interaction with him.
"What you think is hearsay we may not," he said. "I would think we can make that decision."
Councilor Michael Underwood concurred. "I don't see harm in letting people voice their opinion," he said.
Council will begin soliciting public comments immediately. The evaluation process will begin during the second council meeting in January, and conclude at the first council meeting in February. Discussion will take place in executive session, as is the case for all city personnel matters, unless otherwise requested by Rondinelli.
The evaluation process must be completed by Feb. 9, the anniversary of Rondinelli's hiring date. The evaluation will focus on how effectively the administrator is accomplishing the goals established by council and how he is carrying out his responsibilities in key performance areas.
The Ouray Council unanimously approved amending the city's contract for city attorney services with the Masters and Sellars law firm from a set hourly rate to a flat monthly rate. The firm will now get paid a flat fee of $6,000 per month for standard services including general counsel, land use matters, water issues, standard court services and meeting attendance, but will also retain the option to bill at an hourly rate of $180 per hour on top of that for certain services including litigation beyond the normal scope of attorney services for the city.
City Attorney Kathryn Sellars said that being paid a flat fee allows her to "be present in more places" to thoroughly represent the legal interests of the city, such as the Gunnison Basin Roundtable and other regional meetings pertaining to water issues, in particular .
Council revisited the topic of Phase II of the Box Canon Geothermal Water Line project, agreeing to pursue a scaled-down, cheaper version of the project than that which was originally called for in preliminary plans prepared by Merritt Engineering several years ago.
Council will hold a work session with Public Works Director Dennis Erickson in early January to discuss new parameters for the project, before scheduling a meeting with Merritt Engineers to discuss designing a new plan. Councilors Michael Underwood and Richard Kersen will act as liaisons in the process, and Ouray resident John Nixon, whose residence borders a portion of the water line project along Canyon Creek, will also participate in the meetings.
"I want to work with you on this, and understand your need to do work back there but we need to talk before you draw up more plans and try to ram it down my throat," Nixon said.
The project is funded in the City of Ouray's 2014 budget. The preliminary timeline calls for construction to begin in October 2014 and conclude in February 2015. The project proposes replacing a portion of the aging, partially exposed pipeline that delivers geothermal spring water from its emanation point in Box Canyon to the Ouray Hot Springs Pool.

INDIANAPOLIS - Jack Bicknell Jr. admits there is much he misses about college football.
Jack Bicknell Jr., an assistant coach with the Giants, is the son of a former UMaine head coach and was part of an Orono High dynasty.
Mike Lowe/Staff Writer
As a college football coach, he said, "you probably have a bigger impact on a young kid's life."
But he wouldn't trade what he's doing now for anything in the world.
Bicknell is an assistant offensive line coach with the New York Giants. Sunday he will be on the field when the Giants take on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl at Lucas Oil Stadium.
And if the Bicknell name seems familiar, well, it should.
His father, Jack Bicknell Sr., coached the University of Maine football team from 1976-80, compiling an 18-35-1 record before moving on to Boston College. Young Bicknell was also part of one of the state's great high school football dynasties at Orono High.
"Thirty-eight-and-oh," said Bicknell without prompting when asked about the Red Riots. "Never lost a game."
He says that with great pride, noting that the winning streak eventually hit 48. He remembers those days fondly, especially the friendships he formed and keeps to this day.
"I loved it," he said. "The people up there are just beyond explanation as far as how great they are. Fantastic people. It's such a tight-knit community. Life-long friendships.
"You know how it is in Maine, small-town living. The wildest thing we did was go play Trivial Pursuit at the Cobbs' house."
Among his best friends was, and is, Steve Abbott, the athletic director at Maine.
"We had a great time together," Abbott said Thursday. "Jack was just one of those guys who had such a great attitude about everything. He loved sports, but as much as he loved sports, he just loved being with his friends."
The two would work out with Abbott's father, Walt, the former Maine head coach who became, sort of, their personal trainer. He would have them run around the track, run through the woods, lift weights.
"He nearly killed us," said Bicknell, who will turn 50 two days after the Super Bowl.
But he also prepared Bicknell for life beyond Orono. He followed his father to Boston College and played there for four years. When people talk about the miracle pass from Doug Flutie to Gerard Phelan to beat Miami in 1984, they sometimes forget it was Bicknell who started the play by snapping the ball to Flutie.
"I went there to play linebacker," said Bicknell, "but I couldn't catch the running backs so they switched me to offense."
He followed his father's career path -- Jack Bicknell, 74, is now retired and living in Florida -- and has been coaching since he graduated from BC in 1985.
"He had a huge influence on me," said Bicknell of his father. "And it wasn't just my dad, but all his assistants and the people I was around who were coaches. All of the men I really looked up to and respected, they were coaches."
Mostly he's coached the offensive line. But for eight years he led Louisiana Tech, compiling a 43-52 record as one of the nation's youngest college head coaches. During that time his Bulldogs defeated Alabama, Michigan State and Oklahoma State.
He returned to Boston College in 2007 as an assistant head coach/offensive line coach. And when Tom Coughlin approached him about joining the Giants in 2009, he jumped at the chance.
"Tom Coughlin was the No. 1 reason I was interested in coming here," he said. "He worked with my dad at BC. I've always followed him and respected him, and you were talking about the opportunity to learn from one of the greats in the game."

Columbia, SC (WLTX) -- The South Carolina Small Business Chamber of Commerce has joined with an online "crowd-funding" portal.
The Mission Markets online crowd-funding portal, part of the American Sustainable Business Council (http://asbcouncil.org/,) called "Invest In A New Economy" will give in-state businesses and non-profits potential financial resources via online donors.
The portal, available here: (http://bit.ly/13AUovm) will allow South Carolina businesses the option to seek capital funding through crowd-funding donations, a trend that's become very popular over the last 2 years as a source to fund things like medically necessary operations, life-goals, or personal missions.
Financing options are also available to businesses through private placements with financiers looking to invest in small businesses for an equity position.
Businesses or non-profit business enterprises will need to complete an application process (http://bit.ly/18RsOyv,) including a $100 application fee, and will then automatically provide them with membership in the SC Small Business Chamber.
SC Small Business Chamber President Frank Knapp said "by offering small businesses access to equity from accredited investors, and donation-based crowd financing, we are helping local communities to thrive in a socially responsible manner."

You Are Beautiful
My first encounter with the "You Are Beautiful" project was at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle Illinois, November of 2011. I had my father's old rangefinder, a Minolta 35 Model II that he bought from the Army PX when he was stationed in Korea during the Korean war. It was the day before he took an R&R in Japan. The camera made it through the war and home with him, he was married later to my wonderful mother whom I really miss, and he took several family photos before it eventually wore out. He put it away and one day after my own camera broke he offered it to me. At the time I could not afford to have it repaired so I put it away but several years later in 2011 I dug it out, had it serviced and after a shutter curtain replacement, it quickly became the second camera I carried, beside my dslr. Now on this particular day, my daughter and I had gone out to take some photos at the arboretum. We came around the back side of this installation and curious, we kept on walking till we could move around the front of it, guessing all the while what it might say. "You… are.." Are what? This is where I could see the message. Where you might say the light shown down from above and I smiled as I lifted my cherished heirloom Minolta to my eye and framed the shot. The end of 2011 was a rough time for me medically speaking. This message gave me a glimmer of hope. Mind you I hadn't had a lot of practice with the camera so I had no idea of the results I'd get out of just one shot. Film is expensive you know. But, when I got the images back, this one held magic in it and for a second time the message uplifted me. I had posted it on my blog in December of 2011 [posts have been removed] and it remained the only image for some time. I recently discovered on Colossal an article telling of a project I had no idea existed. The You Are Beautiful Project by Matthew Hoffman, a native Chicagoan it would seem. This project has gone on for ten years! Not only that but he is trying to commemorate/expand on it through a Kickstarter. It's the first Kickstarter I have ever supported but felt was worthwhile because when I was down, You Are Beautiful supported me. I wanted the book so I gave the appropriate sum and when I receive it I will place a print of my own You Are Beautiful image as seen above, in it so that every time I need to remember, need a little hope or inspiration, I will have a solid reminder that yes, I am beautiful. Sometimes we can all use a little reminder. Is there someone in your life that needs to know they are beautiful? This is a message you simply need to pass on. Words that need to be said. The Kickstarter project has reached it's $25,000.00 goal but you can still add your support until February 11, 3:30 PM EST.
2/11/2012: "Congratulations! Thanks to you and 700 other backers, You Are Beautiful Book has been successfully funded." B E A U T I F U L

About Jeremy2020
It does not do that and I have no idea how you made the logical leap to that. He tried official channels and got told to drop it. So he went to reporters.
What do you think the odds are that he is someone in the 'computing profession'? What are the odds he understands more than how to turn it on and use the keyboard/mouse?
I think gaming oriented operating systems on PC in the living room is the future, but consoles are not just PCs slapped into a box.
There is a lot of development that goes into creating an environment for those systems and making tools for developers to use by the console makers.
You *can* 'channel surf' on netflix...you get recommendations then a whole crapload of stuff in the categories
There have been times that by the time I am done browsing for something to watch...I've spent so much time just browsing, I have no desire to watch anything anymore.
The US is pretty scary, but man, the UK is in overdrive to becoming the corporate fascist state.
New York is more than 'New York City'. He is the congressman for the 2nd district.
New York's Second District covers portions of Nassau and Suffolk Counties and includes the Townships of Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Babylon and Islip.
Nothing makes the OUYA look better. Maybe the Steambox..maybe
I'd rather see 60 minutes do pieces on the houses of the CEOs of the banks that took bailouts.
The reporter should have stepped up and asked if he was making the violation worse by talking about it on national TV and read him his quote.
Too bad the media isn't interested in doing its job anymore.
The guy also obviously has issues with the show itself. Why go out of your way to say you are not a fan? Why call it a 'children's program' when the people watching it now tend not to be children?
Time for bloody, violent revolution.
It seems like they firmly believe that the attention spans of their citizens will cause them to move on if they just weather the initial storm.
Well, I'm glad we can count on Russia to defend the constitutional rights of American citizens...
what about homage made you think he meant Evangelion created mecha?
I don't get it either. Seems like a masturbatory session.
".. and I'll be damned if people are going to convince me this is a significant problem."
I think the RIAA is hiring.
I'm eager to watch the sales of EA sports franchises dry up when people can't trade them back in...If this industry wants to shoot itself in the foot, let them.
All the idiocy about how the lack of used games will cause price cuts is dumb. There's people who complain about people who use Steam don't buy new games when they're released because they wait for the price cut.
The industry needs to be taken out back and beaten.
I pay my own bills too. What do I get?
The dictionary blatantly violates the copyright he established on the word copyright as well.
Their careers have gone on for some time and made them a lot of money.

Mt. Lebanon teachers defend math program
Mt. Lebanon educators defended the district's math curriculum during a presentation at the Jan. 21 school board meeting.
Parents have questioned the new curriculum's effectiveness, charging that it places too little emphasis on arithmetic procedures in favor of abstract thinking and non-traditional assignments.
A panel including mathematics curriculum facilitators Kristin Malock, Kim Robbins, Jim Willison and Lincoln Elementary principal Dr. Marybeth Irvin fielded questions. In particular, the focus is on the elementary and intermediate levels, which now use a program called Investigations in Numbers, Data and Space.
"The dialogue coming from students on a daily basis, the depth to which they take it is truly amazing," said curriculum facilitator Robbins. "We can now have conversations about math. Students are debating and challenging each other. They are learning. Our test scores say they're learning."
The panel emphasized that though Investigations now forms the basis for the math curriculum, Pennsylvania Common Core Standards and standardized testing ensure students' math education remains balanced.
"Because we follow state standards and have common assessments we all get to the same place," explained Irvin.
Board members focused many of their questions on how teachers were refining the curriculum in the classroom. Ed Kubit noted that some parents have presented research showing school districts have had to supplement Investigations with additional curriculum. "How do we identify potential gaps?" he asked.
Curriculum facilitator Willison replied, "it is important for us to remember we do not 'purchase' our curriculum. We don't just open up to a page in a book and teach that."
The panel pointed to teacher-made assessments, MAP testing, PSSA scores and achievement and growth data as tools for evaluating students' progress.
Assistant superintendent Dr. Deborah Allen added that parent feedback also helps in evaluating curriculum. "Every time we have feedback from parents, be it positive or negative, it causes us to take a look at our practices. We are constantly questioning them and making refinements."
Board vice president Larry Lebowitz echoed those statements, saying, "this discussion, precipitated by many parents, is about listening to concerns. It is about conveying those concerns to our professionals and even challenging our professionals to make sure we are doing the right thing for our kids."

Summary of The Assault on Reason Summary of The Assault on Reason Reviews for The Assault on Reason An Excerpt from The Assault on Reason
A #1 New York Times bestseller: A visionary analysis of the degradation of our public sphere and its consequences for our democracy"This book shows a fiery, throw-caution-to-the winds Al Gore, who . . . has decided to lay it all on the line with a blistering assessment of the Bush administration and the state of public discourse in America."—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
Nobel Peace Prize winner, bestselling author, activist, and political icon, Al Gore has become one of the most respected and influential public intellectuals in America today. The Assault on Reason takes an unprecedented look at how faith in the power of reasonthe idea that citizens can govern themselves through rational debateis now under assault. The marketplace of ideas, once open to everyone through the printed word, has been corrupted by the politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism, and blind faith. By leading us to an understanding of what we can do to restore the rule of reason, Gore has written a farsighted and powerful manifesto for clear thinking.
"Gore's faith in human nature is braver and sharper than (the cynics). . . . This book isn't about him; it's about the republic whose freedoms depend on increasing reasoned debate and reducing intimidating noise."—The Boston Globe

The Clearstream 2 delivers.
Pros: compact size; solid construction; decent gain; easy assembly
Cons: nothing comes to mind
Although this is primarily a UHF antenna, and ISN'T the model that includes a VHF dipole, I was relieved to see that it picks up all my area VHF's just fine...including the one on channel 6!! I suspect if I were another 10 miles out, that might be a different story. Anyway the UHF gain is pretty good, and even though it's permanently aimed southeast, it still picks up a set of UHF's at about 15 miles to the northwest.
There are other stations at around 50 miles to the west I'd like to get...and aren't sure even if the next model up would accomplish that, but in the meantime I have no complaints with the CS 2 and would recommend it to anyone in a similar situation who just needs to improve reception that an indoor antenna might find challenging.

I have FrameMaker 10 and Windows 7 and I'm a newbie, having worked with InDesign. I've reviewed the answers in the forum that include instructions about the paragraph designer, but those solutions, such as keep with paragraph, orphan lines, etc., don't help.
Sometimes when I'm typing, the next line jumps to the beginning of the next page even though there's plenty of the current page left. I guess I must say that this happens when I'm typing into a document that also has material following. This material usually seems to be an anchored frame. I've looked at the anchored frame parameters, tried every option, and still I'm stumped. Right now I'm using a workaround; a paragraph style with a font of one point that I insert where necessary to force things to stick together. Otherwise, my broken line often travels below the anchored frame. BTW, when I backspace before the line, more material from the previous page jumps down, instead of that piece of sentence being backspaced back up.
Also, in Indesign it's very easy to size content into the frame. In FM I'm always shift-dragging to picture after import, to get it to the size of the frame. Is there a better way to do this?
Also, is there a way to change the defaults? I never want the frame to be cropped but the checkbox is checked and I have to uncheck it every time.
Also is there a keyboard shortcut for getting a page break to the next page? The popup is very annoying. I don't even know what 'wherever it fits' means; doesn't a page break mean, the next page? And how can I get the default to change to 'next page' or better still get rid of that box altogether?
There is no symbol for a page break, so what happens if I want to remove one? Does this happen automatically if a break is no longer necessary? Maybe this is connected to my paragraphing problem?
I hope you experts out there can make some sense out of my questions. PLEASE help, these things are driving me crazy!! Thank you so much in advance.
PS This also has nothing to do with master pages or the template; I'm working in a very smooth template that was prepared by experts. (Luckily.)
This is probably not the answer to all your questions, but I am sure it answers some.
Unlike Word and InDesign, FrameMaker's anchored frames, which hold graphics, "hang" from their insertion points, typically at the end of the paragraph. An anchored frame that follows a paragraph is set to be below the line, the line being the last line in the paragraph. If you turn on View > Text Symbols, you will see a marker that indicates the point from which the anchored frame is hanging.
If the anchored frame is taller than the available space, it is moved to the next page ALONG with that last line. If the paragraph style/tag has a widow/orphan lines number that is more than 1, then that number of lines are also moved to the next page, because the paragraph tag says to keep that many together, EVEN if there is space at the bottom of the previous page.
So, you can set the widow/orphan lines number smaller OR as you have done put a blank line before the anchored frame, which now holds the marker for the anchored frame, and set its font size to 2 pt (the lowest FrameMaker allows) and its line height to zero. This is the standard workaround UNLESS you use the line above the anchored frame as the title/caption of a figure, which is also a typical way of dealing with FrameMaker's ways.
To my knowledge, one cannot change the default of the checked cropped box. Maybe others know of some way to change this.
There is no page break in FrameMaker, hence there is no symbol for it. In the paragraph designer for the paragraph, you set to Start of the paragraph to Top of page. Top of page is FrameMaker's equivalent to a page break. To "remove" a page break, set the Start of the paragraph to Anywhere.
Since you are new to FrameMaker, I suggest reading throught the User Manual that comes with FrameMaker. You will likely find the answers to most of your questions there.
Hope this helps,
Thank you so much for replying!
There is a 'page break' dialog in FM which I just discovered today that I
should keep open at all times. And I discovered that if you want to remove
a page break, you just backspace. The first line melts into the previous
paragraph at first, but it can be easily changed to the corect style.
I'm breathing easier now that you've told me my workaround is a legitimate
solution. Now I know why I see so many 'figure' styles at the tops of
illustrations..that really isn't the correct way to do things.
Thanks for your suggestion, I will read through the help one day. As it
is, I find Adobe online help all but impossible except for these forums;
you put in a simple search term and get a hundred things you don't want.
Thanks again!
Select the option for "local content only" in the Community Help to narrow down the number of hits you get.
> Also is there a keyboard shortcut for getting a page break to the next page?
Yes, but what it actually does is just set a Top_of_Page override in the Pagination properties of the current paragraph.
Also check the Keep_With_Previous settings of the next paragraph. Even if Keep_With_Next is turned off in the current para, it can get dragged by the next.
Thank you for the reply!
Actually I've tried every comination of 'Keep With's and nothing seems to

Thanks! I do have it on my computer somewhere, but I wouldn't like to have
to print it out.

Afridi praises Khans confidence in players
Shahid Afridi thanked his captain Younis Khan for allowing him to go up the order and play a match winning knock that helped Pakistan demolish Sri Lanka and win the World Twenty20 at the Lords.
Afridi, promoted to No.3, hit an unbeaten 54 off 40 balls and was one of Pakistans chief architect in their comprehensive eight-wicket win in the final. Afridi also picked up his second consecutive Man of the Match award.
I told Younis Khan that I wanted to bat at No.3 and he had confidence in me. He gave me a free hand and asked me to play my natural game, Afridi said.
Afridi has been in terrific form with the ball picking up 11 wickets from seven matches and blossomed with bat in the crucial stage of tournament that proved valuable for Pakistan. In the semi-final against South Africa, Afridi came in at No.3 and blasted 51 off 46 balls to take Pakistan to the title-clash.
I have been bowling well in the last two and half years but my batting was not upto my expectations. But I came up with good innings in the semi-final and the final of this tournament, he said.
Younis said that Afridi was an assett for the team.
We need a player like Afridi in both one-dayers and Twenty20. I have always felt that Afridi should bat up the order in both the formats of the game, he said.

Cupping kit, Japan, 1981-1990
Dry cupping is used in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine. It stimulates the flow of the energy known as qi in the body. A good flow of qi is essential for wellbeing and health. The glass cups are placed on the skin. A pump sucks out the air, creating a vacuum. Acupuncture and moxibustion also stimulate qi. Cupping has been used in different cultures. Until the mid-1800s, it was commonly used in Europe as a method of blood letting known as wet cupping. In wet cupping, the cupping glasses drew the blood from the skin after it had been cut. Blood letting died out when humoural understanding of the body declined. Dry cupping is still a popular practice.

Location is close to work.
Toilet flooded my room in the middle of the night. Only one staff member on premises. Staff asked 'what did you put in the toilet?'. It took OVER 3 HOURS to resolve the situation by finally getting another room. I cut my finger turning off waterI cut my finger pretty badly (blood everywhere) on the faucet turning off water so that the hotel would not flood by the toilet and staff did not even offer a band aid. Staff brought a toilet brush for a flooding toilet, handed the brush to me and left for over 3 hours. I ended up getting around 2 hours sleep. ... more

The amenities were really nice: TV, internet access, frig, coffee pot, iron/ironing board, microwave, phone, wonderful air conditioner/heater, lots of hot water...very comfortable bedroom chair and very comfortable desk chair... Good breakfast also.
1st entered the room, it smelled like urine. It was as if they were trying to mask the odor with a room spray deodorant.. glad for a window to open so we could air out the room. The beds were extremely uncomfortable..very hard and kind of lumpy.I would have either asked for another room or tried to find another hotel if I hadn't already been told it would be impossible to find other accommodations anywhere around the Austin area. The very hard lumpy beds and bad smell would have been a deal breaker, but really, otherwise the amenities were super nice. ... more

The location of this Hotel as it was next to Joes. The complimentary breakfast was decent.
Quite a bit of hair on the bathroom floor from previous guests.In town for a baseball tournament. Hotel has pretty quick access to fields. Hotel was nice, bed comfortable, and complimentary breakfast was pretty good. When we arrived after our games on Saturday, we waited 20 minutes for an attendant to show up at registration. That was frustrating as there was a note saying away assisting customer. When they showed up, we were given a free appetizer at Joes which was nice. Overall it was a decent stay at Hampton with no major issues. This was our second time at this Hotel and really like that there is a Joes Crab Shack next door. Would stay here again. ... more
