Exposure to airborne ultrafine and nanoparticles has raised increased interest over the recent years as they may cause adverse health effects. A common way to quantify exposure to airborne particles is to measure particle number size distributions through electrical mobility analysis. Four mobility particle sizers have been subject to a detailed intercomparison study, a TSI Fast Mobility Particle Sizer (FMPS), a Grimm Sequential Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS+C), and two TSI Scanning Mobility Particle Sizers (SMPSs), equipped with two different condensation particle counters (CPC). The instruments were challenged with either NaCl or diesel soot particles. The results indicate that the sizing of all tested instrument was similar with only the FMPS size distributions consistently shifted toward smaller particle sizes. The Grimm SMPS generally measured higher concentrations and broader distributions than the TSI instruments. The two Grimm DMAs agreed well with each other; however, the TSI SMPS results showed a reproducible dependence on the flow rates. While TSI and Grimm SMPS delivered consistent results for sodium chloride (NaCl) and diesel soot, the FMPS seemed to react differently to the changing particle source than the SMPSs, which may be caused by either the different morphology or particle size dependent effects. For NaCl particles, the FMPS delivered the narrowest distributions and concentrations comparable with TSI SMPSs, whereas for diesel soot, it delivered the broadest distributions and higher concentrations than TSI SMPSs.

Today's Volume: 38.6 million Average Volume: 16.2 million Volume % Change: 308% Shares of NWSA are ripping higher today after the company confirmed multiple reports that it's considering a restricting to separate its business into two distinct publicly traded companies, splitting its publishing assets from its entertainment businesses. >>5 Stocks Immune to Europe's Problems From a technical perspective, is gapping up strong here with monster volume. This move has pushed the stock into breakout territory, since it has taken out some major past overhead resistance at around $20.40 to $20.70. Traders should now look for long-biased trades if NWSA is trending above today's high with heavy volume. At last check, NWSA has hit an intraday high of $21.75 and volume is well above its three-month average action. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 16,181,700 shares as bullish. On the flipside, I would avoid this stock if it moves back below those key breakout levels of $20.70 to $20.40 with heavy volume.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WBKO) -- Not all lawmakers agreed, but nonetheless the two year, $20 billion budget is moving on to the House floor.
"I would argue that much of the Governor's budget bill is intact. There haven't been wholesale changes like a couple of the budgets I've done before," said Rep. Rick Rand, D-Bedford.
As many thought, this budget looks a lot like Beshear's with a focus on re-investing in Kentucky.
This means a boost in K-12 education and giving Kentucky state workers a raise.
"For employees making up to $27,000 a year it's a 5% increase, for employees making from $27,000-$36,000 it's a 3% increase, from $36,000-$50,000 a 2% increase and for employees making above $50,000 it's a 1% increase," said Greg Rush, Deputy Director for Budget Review.
To do this meant a 5% cut to several areas.
"The 5% reductions were in areas such as the Governor's office, finance cabinet, cabinet level administrative areas, constitutional officers, council on post-secondary education, juvenile justice, energy and environment, military affairs and labor, agencies like that," said Rush.
WKU and Kentucky State Police are seeing a 2.5% cut.
This budget bill had support and opposition from both parties.
Two other budget bills were approved today including legislative and judicial. Area lawmaker Rep. Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green is concerned about the judicial budget.
"I'm going to vote yes, but I do think in effect, we are cutting the request of the Chief Justice and I hope that money can be found as the process moves forward," said Richards.
Which is exactly what all these budgets are doing, moving forward.
The house could discuss and debate the budget bills this week.
The senate will get a chance to make changes as lawmakers are coming down the stretch here in the 2014 session.

I am 4 days late and my cycle has been kinda weird since I gave birth 4 months ago and I have had two cycles prior. With that said we had sex on the 9th and I would be happy to have two children a year apart.
I have been really really bad and taking tests almost daily!!
Well this morning I took my 2nd target test (which if you are pregnant there is one blue line going vertical) and I swore there was the faintest blue line. I thought it was weird that there seemed to be a horziontal line too so I thought it might be a dye run.
So I go and buy a FRER and I get nothing but a big stinking gray indent line!!!! I know people say that blue tests sometimes get blue positives but peeonastick.com said they are fine so I gave it a shot.
Will I ever get a result?!?!? This is just stressing me out so bad. Anyone else still on the waiting game?

Japan intends to seek U.S. assistance in rescuing Japanese nationals abducted by North Korea in the past in case North Korea falls into internal conflict, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Wednesday.
"It's extremely important that we seek support from the United States, our ally," Abe told the House of Councillors Budget Committee. "We've provided information on Japanese abductees (to the U.S. side), while seeking support when necessary."
Abe also underlined the limitations of Japan's current security framework, long bound by Article 9 of the U.S.-drafted Constitution that forbids the use of force to settle international disputes and only allows the minimum for self-defense.
"To send in a special unit of the Self-Defense Forces to help get (the abductees) out of the country would be difficult due to the constraints of Article 9," Abe said.
Abe has pledged to resolve while he is in office the issue of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s. Japan and North Korea held informal talks in China earlier in the week, raising hope formal negotiations between the two could be held for the first time since November 2012.
"Whatever the situation may be, we will do all we can to protect the lives of all abductees by cooperating with the international community," Abe told the committee.
Abe is eager to rework Japan's defense posture to cope with challenges from an assertive China and North Korea's nuclear and missile development, and lift a self-imposed ban on the right of collective self-defense by changing the constitutional interpretation.
To what extent the SDF should be allowed to operate overseas has been a sensitive issue in Japan, and Abe's goal to remove the ban still faces hurdles as the New Komeito party, the junior coalition partner of the Liberal Democratic Party, remains cautious about it.
Former Prime Minister Naoto Kan once expressed willingness to craft a plan in 2010 to rescue Japanese abductees and dispatch SDF members in the event of contingencies on the Korean Peninsula.
If the ban is removed on collective self-defense, Japan needs to create a new legal framework by revising a series of laws, including on SDF operations.
Abe has indicated Japan can inspect ships heading for North Korea when the United States has been attacked by the country, citing as one of the scenarios discussed by a government panel of security experts who are expected to submit their proposals in April.

My daughter just pooped on my couch. I had just gotten her out of the bath when someone knocked on my door. There was a guy in a suit with a bible. He asked me how my day was going. Keep in mind I'm still in my PJ's with no bra. I told him my daughter just shit all over the couch. He laughed and said I must be having a crappy day. He said I won't take up your time then and gave me a pamplet on "Enjoying Family Life" as he was laughing. Then he left. At least he left quickly. He saw me hauling out my poopy couch cushin too. What a day!
JW just came to my door...crappy story
Okay, I'm sorry, I laughed a little at the imagery:) At least he left quickly.
I'm sorry about your couch and hope it survives. One of my DD's once got up early in the AM and shat upon the living room carpet. She was 3 at the time. Then, rather than waking us up she tried to clean it up. Clean up involved a broom, the dust pan, a couple of towels and grinding the shit into the carpet. Luckily a steam cleaner took it all out easy peasy... Fun times.

Whatever, I do what I want.
Omgz......"crappy" story and "crappy" day....I almost just "crapped" myself!
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger. But seriously, she is.
OMG, I hope all the crap comes out!

It could have beed worse...a mormon would have asked to help you clean the couch cushion while he evangelized...

Ha ha. I thought of that Rook. Except I was thinking too bad he wasn't a Morman I could make him clean up the shit.
I have a co-worker who is a JW. He probably would have helped you clean it. But then that's just because he's a nice guy.

If being a mature, responsible adult were easy, everyone would be doing it.
At least he is more thoughtful that a JW I had last year. Saturday morning - DS has had a fever for two days. I'm running 102 and think its strep, and was waiting for DH to come home from work to take me to urgent care. I'm in PJs, no bra. My ears are also plugged up and I can't hardly hear anyone talking. Two JW's are at the door, and me, like a fool, opened it. Guy asked me how I was and I told him in detail how I was. His wife grabbed him by the arm and said, "We won't bother you then." Guy just started yelling (since I said my ears were clogged and couldn't hear), about eternal state of my sould and such, while his wife was dragging him off my porch. I ended up slamming the door in his face, which I hate to do.
It's a time machine. You never have to wait for breakfast.

High school football: Cedar Redmen 2013 preview
With so much depth at fullback, Cedar's coaching staff is considering utilizing two fullbacks at times this season.
Cedar Redmen at a glance
Coach: Todd Peacock is entering his 23rd year as Cedar's head coach and his 27th overall, having spent three years at North Sanpete and one at East Carbon. He is 132-110-1 at Cedar and 154-125-1 overall. He's a graduate of Emery High School.
(4 returning starters; Option offense)
Cedar only averaged 18 ppg last season, but a better offensive line should make the team much more productive in 2013. Kole Dotson is a returning starter on that line, while Jaren Forsyth was a part-time starter. Brock Esplin and Dallin Jacoby will be newcomers on the line. Dotson, Esplin and Forstyth are all seniors. The quarterback position has been up in the air this summer with the coaching staff wavering between junior Breckin Lewis and junior Austin Obering. Lewis is a tough, smart kid while Obering is extremely fast. Cedar has some other athletic kids to fill out the running back spots with Bubba Allred, Lane Black, Dusty Hone and Ty Bulloch.
(5 returning starters)
Coach Peacock is confident he has the speed to keep up with some of the better teams down South this season. A couple of those key guys are cornerbacks Obering and Hone, who will need to have strong years if Cedar is going to be able to slow down the passing attacks of teams like Dixie, Desert Hills and Pine View. Cedar's linebacker corps will be anchored by Lewis and Grover, both returning starters. Dallin Brooks was a standout defensive end last season, but the junior will likely be moving to linebacker this season.
Coaches preseason 3AA South straw poll: Fifth
Deseret News 3AA South prediction: Sixth
Bottom line: History has a way of repeating itself, and don't be surprised if that happens again with Cedar football. In 2004 it advanced to the 3A semifinals, and followed it up with a 1-9 season in 2005. Peacock's team bounced back quickly with an 8-3 season in 2006. Fast forward seven years and Cedar is hoping to cap a similar three-year cycle after advancing to the semifinals in 2011 and then winning one game in 2012. With such a tough schedule in 3AA, it's hard to imagine Cedar winning eight games this season, but if the team speed is as good as advertised, a winning record and a return to the playoffs are certainly possibilities.

Familiar. Collaborative. Managed.
By Joe Mullich
Since the economic downturn, executives have heightened their focus on customer loyalty, looking for new ways to retain and draw additional value from their existing customer base.
The Mandarin Hotel Group, which operates 42 luxury hotels with more than 10,000 rooms in 27 countries, does not believe in customer loyalty programs, though. Instead, the Group has achieved success with a culture of personalized customer service built atop a mountain of clean, actionable data.
"Clean data is the core of what we do," says Nick Price, the Group's Chief Information Officer. "It lets us know who our guests are and know their likes and dislikes, which we use with effect to deliver personalized customer service."
The Group has a long list of awards for outstanding service and quality management in its deluxe hotels around the world, from London and New York to San Francisco and Singapore.
Every time a guest interacts with any of the Group's hotels-whether through a room reservation, the beverage service, the spa, or a retail experience-that information is "captured, cleaned, merged, and matched" in real time in the Group's information system, dubbed Global Guests.
Global Guests leverages a well-known marketing technique called RFM (recency, frequency, monetary) analysis, which determines how recently a customer has purchased, how often they purchase, and how much the customer spends. The system has collected information on 4.5 million unique guests.
What makes this system noteworthy is the way data is collected, shared, and turned into service that meets guests' needs and reflects the rare qualities of the Group's varied hotels around the world. Data collection comes from three sources:
For example: "The housekeeper might have a conversation with a guest, where she says, 'I've noticed you never eat the green apples, only the red ones,' and takes notes," Price says. The Global Guests system collects this information and has it available to hotel staff anywhere in the world when that guest checks in. "Our job is to deliver those [details] in context and automatically at the hotel," Price says.
To that end, if a guest's past stays indicate he prefers a certain temperature, his room will be at that temperature when he arrives. Beyond that, if a French national comes to a New York hotel, the temperature will be depicted in the room in the familiar Celsius rather than Fahrenheit. And when he turns on the television, the first 10 channels listed will be the same French channels he favored on his last visit to the Group's European hotels.
Based on the guest's VIP rating, he will receive "certain contextual benefits," Price says. "But they will not be the same amenities, the same fruit basket or champagne, at each of the hotels." The hotel in New York, for example, will select a comparable but different item than the hotel in Beijing, Price says, "because the guest will want something [that reflects] that city."
This personalized attention can only be achieved with precise, current information that is applied across the organization. "If we don't have clean and accurate data, nothing else works," Price says.
In a 2009 Bloomberg Businessweek Research Services study, only one in five C-level executives reported that the use of business analytics is integrated across their entire organization. And more than three-quarters of the responding executives cited "variable data quality, integrity, and consistency" as a stumbling block to organization-wide implementation of business analytics.
Wayne Eckerson, until recently the director of Research at The Data Warehousing Institute, says 80 percent of the time and cost in business intelligence systems is pulling the data together. "Probably the hardest part of data is the political side," he says. "Getting the business-especially across department and business units-to agree on common terms and definitions for key metrics and entities that companies use. Even something as simple as 'What is a customer?' can be very a politically charged issue."
The Mandarin Hotel Group addresses these challenges with a systematic approach to data that includes both automated and manual techniques. The first step is basic data cleansing, including standardization and validation. The next step, matching data-which brings "human eyeballs on the job"-points to the problem of common definitions, in addition to the special issues of dealing with people from many cultures.
Consider the common Chinese name "Wong," which is equivalent to the name "Smith" in the United States. An American would expect Mr. Smith to call himself Mr. Smith anywhere in the world. Not so with "Mr. Wong," which is simply an abstraction of the actual Chinese word. So a Chinese traveler might sign his name "Wong" in Mandarin's New York hotel, because that is the way his name is depicted in English. In the Singapore hotel, the same traveler might sign his name "Wang" or "Weng." In the Shanghai hotel, he could call himself "Huang."
"It is difficult for the Western mind to get around that idea, because we think of the first and last names as being a constant," Price says. "However, a Chinese traveler may use different combinations to express their name in London and New York. Our job is to clean that information and recognize the guest no matter how they choose to represent themselves."
To achieve that differentiation, the Mandarin Hotel Group uses a "global synonym" system to triangulate the best match of past activities to a particular guest. This approach lets the Group determine that, say, the amenities Mr. Wong wants in Chicago today are the same that Mr. Huang chose in Shanghai three months ago.
"The hospitality industry is about people being hospitable and giving a great experience at each hotel," Price says. "If a frequent guest at one hotel was going to another hotel, someone at the first hotel would call that hotel and let them know about the guest before he walked in the door. Doing this consistently well as a global brand is challenging."
For more insights about how the Mandarin Hotel chain increases customer loyalty, watch this video:
Dear Joe, I completely agree with what you have written. From my perspective (Hospitality industry), I feel understanding hotel guests better and making them more satisfied as a direct result of listening to what they have to say. The problem is we don't always hear what they say when they say it. For our hotel we found a good tool that allows the guest to leave a comment (Speak into a phone or use in room phones) and for us to directly respond to that. It all goes into a database and we can analyze feedback given on site. The tool is called ECO hospitality
Hi Dilip...what you commented makes a lot of sense. With experience from the hotel industry myself i feel that listening to our guests can be very challenging. We aren't always listening to them when they want us to and that can hinder guest satisfaction. On the other hand i am very impressed with the geteco tool you have mentioned and after looking at the website i agree that hotels need to start looking into these tools to improve guest satisfaction and start listening to guests better.
Great synopsis of commenting and how to very well written and all that link love you just poured out, great post, Excellent blog really like it.
Thanks for sharing this idea interesting blog, Please continue this great work.

Former state representative in court on DWI charge
Published: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at 12:38 p.m.
HOUMA -- Clad in a light-colored, pin-striped pantsuit, former State Representative Carla Dartez stood in a Terrebonne courtroom Tuesday morning as a district judge set a trial date for the Morgan City Democrats second DWI proceeding.
Dartez was stopped by a state trooper about 10 a.m. Jan. 28 on U.S. 90 near La. 316 for failing to stay in her lane, police said.
Though a breath test for alcohol determined Dartezs blood-alcohol concentration to be .037 -- well below the legal limit of .08 -- Lt. Gregg Falgout, the arresting trooper, determined Dartez was more impaired than the breath test indicated, according to trooper Gilbert Dardar, a State Police spokesman.
"So then, hes got probable cause to ask for a urine sample," Dardar said.
Whereas a breath test measures only alcohol impairment, a urine test can discern the presence of other intoxicating substances, Dardar said.
Dartez, who was convicted of DWI in 1998 in East Baton Rouge Parish, refused the test and was charged with second-offense DWI as a result.
District Judge Johnny Walker set Dartezs trial date for Aug. 13.
Dartezs lawyer, Houma attorney Bernard Levy, has filed a pair of motions to suppress evidence and annul the formal charge against Dartez, called the bill of information.
Though Levy did not return two requests for comment Tuesday, court documents indicate the "motion to quash stems from Levys contention that her guilty plea in the East Baton Rouge case "was not legally made" and is not a sufficient basis to charge Dartez with a second-offense DWI.
Prosecutor Barry Vice said the Terrebonne District Attorneys Office is attempting to obtain the records from Dartezs East Baton Rouge conviction.
In his other motion, Levy alleges that Falgout stopped Dartez without probable cause.
Even though no urine test was given, Levys motion states that the urine test "was not in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated to ensure the accuracy of the test and therefore, the results thereof are not admissible." Levys motion also alleges Falgout was not properly trained and certified to conduct the test. Both are cited as reasons that Dartezs refusal to submit shouldnt be admitted as evidence.
"(She) submitted to the testing requested and was not required to submit to further testing," Levys motion states.
A second-offense DWI carries a fine of up to $10,000 and up to six months in jail, though the law allows judges to place offenders on probation, with or without jail time, so long as they complete community service and substance-abuse programs.
Dartez, 42, represented parts of Terrebonne, Assumption and St. Mary parishes until last year, when she lost her re-election bid to Republican challenger Joe Harrison.
Apart from her 1998 DWI conviction, her driving record also includes a Terrebonne ticket for improper lane use, after a September 2007 collision that left a pedestrian with a broken arm.
In that collision, Dartez failed parts of the field sobriety test conducted on the scene, though a breath test administered soon after resulted in a "0.00" blood-alcohol concentration, police said.
She was not asked to submit to a blood or urine test.
In 2003, Dartez sustained four skull fractures and a dislocated shoulder after a Mardi Gras motorcycle crash.

Answered: Proper way to define a property
Hello all,
this is a newbie question so bare with me. I want to define a custom property in each and every Panel of a Carousel, or more generally I want to define a custom property in a ST2 component. How would I go about it?
a) simply define it in the component object, inside the Ext.define or
b) extend the component to create my own and in there define the property?
If b) is the correct answer where should I place the component definition?
I would do this:
Ext.define('MyComponent', { extend : 'Ext.Component', config : { foo : 'bar' } });
Ext.define('Override.Component', { override : 'Ext.Component', config : { foo : 'bar' } });

Supper Nice
Such a great photograph.It took me back to my childhood dreams;how much I loved horses and how much carousels sounded so real to me!!!
I'm proud of you uncle.
what a perfect glimpse and split timing shot! something which is timeless and carefree... i think this is something which is synomous with a world of innocence.. and looking at this picture captures exactly the look in my mothers eyes (at 83) when she sees a merry go round, and one can see her , going back in time with the gaze in her eyes
Fantastic! :)
every thing in this photo is just so joyful the girl in motion holding the horse so much and the colors.love the joy it brings :)
Best part of the picture is it transmits the childlike happiness to its viewers
Gr8 Expression...
Just Love this! The color, the joy, the fun, the flowing hair and carefree time!...And The Painted Ponies! I remember!!!
This is a real, feel good photo. She's so happy, having soooo much fun. I can't help but smile when I look at it, even though there is a little sadness that my childhood is a lost world. Thanks for the look back Mahdi.
And the seasons, they go round and round,
and the painted pony's go up and down
we can't go back, we can only look
behind from where we came,
and go round and round and round
in the circle game.
cool.... nice to see some non exotic photos now and again :-)
amazing shot..!! I like the panning and perfect shutter..:))
Now this is what we call a CLICK.
@Flora Sangreal Thank You Dear Reihaneh
@ABHIJIT DUTT how true!!! something that is ageless!
@Cedar Waxwing i don't know why... but somehow seeing cedar waxwing back as cedar Waxwing, makes it seem like all is well with the world,.,, even if popes can abdicate... :-) at least cedar wax wing is back :-)
@Cedar Waxwing oh yes we can't go back.just want to say Hi C.W.
@Cedar Waxwing "Sixteen years and sixteen summers gone now. Cartwheels change to car wheels through the town. You tell them take your time it won't be long now, til you drag your feet to slow those circles down?" One of my favorite songs! Very appropriate for this great image!
@water bird @Cedar Waxwing Hey water bird, thank you, it feels better being Cedar Waxwing. Barney Blasterson just didn't fit right. I did modify it a little from cedarwaxwing to the correct spelling Cedar Waxwing, for it fits the format of first and last names of the membership thingy.
I trust all is well.
@Once again @Cedar Waxwing Once again, it's nice to hear from you, Once again.
@SamanthaLyn Samuelson S. @Cedar Waxwing Yeah, the Circle Game is one of my all time favorite songs, way at the top of the list.
P.S. I noticed a 100th of a second after I hit "Post comment" my misspelling of the word, ponies. But alas, even a 100th of a second is still to late.

Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist Syed Abdul Kalim alias Abdul Karim Tunda, a close aide of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim and one of India's most wanted terrorists who was a bomb-maker for LeT, was arrested on Friday after being on the run in several countries for 19 years.
Also known to be close to 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, the Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist, Tunda, had planned to carry out blasts in and around Delhi before the Commonwealth Games, the Delhi Police claimed on Saturday.
According to reports, the 70-year-old Tunda, an expert bomb maker of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, was arrested by Delhi police on Friday at around 3 PM from the Banwasa-Mehendarnagar area on the Indo-Nepal border and brought to Delhi. Delhi court today sent Tunda to three-day police custody.

Addressing a press conference, Special Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) S N Shrivastava said that Pakistan trained Laskar-e-Taiba terrorists, belonging to Pakistan and Bangladesh, had carried out 24 explosions in Delhi, 5 in Haryana and 3 explosions in Uttar Pradesh on the instructions of Tunda.
"Tunda had planned to carry out bombings in and around Delhi in 2010 at the time of the Commonwealth Games, but the plan was timely thwarted with the arrest of his accomplices who were supposed to carry out the attack," said Shrivastava.
Police said Tunda was wanted in 21 cases in Delhi alone that were committed in 1994 and in 1996-1998.
He was carrying a Pakistani Passport No AC 4413161 issued on 23 January, 2013 in the name of Abdul Quddus, Shrivastava said.
Abdul Karim Tunda: From a carpenter to top Lashkar terrorist
Tunda is one of the 20 terrorists India had asked the Pakistan government to hand over after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack and is suspected to be involved in 40 bombings in the country. He is the first in the list to be arrested.

On Campus Services
Campus Security Office
HCC does not have an actual Security Department, however, HCC maintains a support unit to the broader mission and goals of the college. We strive to provide the safest, most stable environment possible in which education may be pursued without the fear and presence of crime or violence. We do this by supporting and educating students, employees, and visitors in areas of personal safety and providing assistance in situations of need. HCC security is built on a foundation of proactive service and crime prevention that reflects and preserves the rights and human dignity of those we serve. HCC does have a Law Enforcement (LE) program, but students in the LE program are only doing those activities in support of their pursuit of an academic degree and do not provide campus security services.
General Emergency Procedures are as follows:
- Always protect yourself first.
- Protect and warn others to the best of your ability.
- Call 911 and/or HCC Maintenance at 218-969-3019, 218-969-6019, or 218-969-9019.
- State the emergency
- Give building number and address (1515 E. 25th Street –Hibbing, MN)
- Give the exact location of the emergency in the building.
- Initiate and/or follow your building's emergency plan.
Hibbing Community College partners with local law enforcement to respond to health, safety, and emergency situations. Members of the campus community should call 911 first in emergency situations and then contact HCC Maintenance at 218-969-3019, 218-969-6019, or 218-969-9019. HCC Maintenance staff are hands-off in situations in which their own safety may be compromised. Their role on campus is primarily to provide service and deter criminal activity.

OAKLAND -- Opening Day is here and the Oakland Athletics couldn't be more excited to defend their American League West crown. The Oakland Coliseum is sold out and the fans have already started filing in.
The A's will be facing the Seattle Mariners for a club-record fourth year in a row. Oakland hasn't won on Opening Day since 2004, and they've failed to defeat Felix Hernandez three years in a row on the first game of the season.
Even with his recent track record against the A's, their hitters still can't wait to face him.
"He's one of the best out there and I enjoy going up against those guys," second baseman Eric Sogard said. "It's almost like you've got nothing to lose."
Sogard started the opener last season at third base, and is the only A's infielder that was in the lineup on that day. Defensively, the whole infield is different. The corner infielders, Brandon Moss and Josh Donaldson both established themselves as Major Leaguers last season.
"It's a little bit different situation than last year," Donaldson said. "I feel way more prepared with the experience I had last year. Everything is feeling pretty good. I'm just excited to be starting for this team because I feel we have a bunch of high caliber players here."
Moss agrees with Donaldson's sentiment. The A's first baseman hit .291 and 21 home runs after he was called up on June 6, last year. He is eager to prove that he is here to stay and not a flash in the pan.
"I think if people expect me to keep up the pace I was at last season, they will be severely disappointed," Moss said. "Not to say I'm not capable of it because I did it last year, but I know who I am. I know I'm not a 45-50 home run guys, but I know I am productive."
Donaldson and Moss are two examples of A's players that won't be taking anything for granted this season. They know a spot on the big league roster can be taken away as quick as it's given. Moss has played parts of six season in the majors, and parts of 10 season in the minors. Donaldson made the Opening Day roster last season and was later sent down before returning and finding success.
The A's may be the reigning champs, but now they are expected to succeed. They will have a bullseye on their backs. Nothing will be given to them.
"You have to put that away," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "Don't think just because you're the defending western champs you can put your glove out there and it's going to happen again. We have to play with the same determination and fight."
