Put everything on the record with Star RM's This Is Your Book. The arty baby journal was designed by Chicago creative Ryan Maconochie, who wanted a quirky way to preserve memories after the birth of his daughter.

You can also jot down current stats, such as the price of a six-pack and the dollar-to-euro exchange rate.

VP and General Manager
Internet of Things Group
Guido Jouret is the Vice President and General Manager for the Internet of Things (IoT) Group at Cisco, which focuses on the major technology transition that connects objects, devices, and sensors over an intelligent network, to generate greater efficiencies and revenue opportunities for customers.
As the leader of this business-critical investment, Jouret oversees Cisco's IoT charter with US$200 million in R&D and 500 engineering, sales, and marketing employees. Jouret's organization serves as the hub of IoT business solutions, products, and services at Cisco. Driving investment, innovation and alignment for IoT across Cisco's portfolio, Jouret focuses on customers in key vertical markets such as discrete and process manufacturing; transportation; energy; and public sector.
Since joining Cisco in 1994, Jouret has played an instrumental role in defining Cisco's vision and strategy for emerging technologies. His passion, creativity, technical depth and broad business understanding are a competitive advantage in the market for Cisco. A dynamic and engaging speaker, Jouret has a vision for IoT and emerging technologies, and he consistently ranks among Cisco's top five presenters.
Prior to this role, Jouret was VP/GM and CTO of Cisco's Emerging Technology Group and the global head of the Innovation team within Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group.

technologies. Before that, he held a similar position in Cisco's Asia Pacific region, where he advised leading corporations and governments on forward-thinking IT strategies.

Jouret has a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (USA), a DIC (Diploma of Imperial College), and a PhD in Computing from Imperial College (UK).

Most in Missouri now believe that Missouri will be in the East with Arkansas as their cross divisional rival. This is fine with Mizzou as 1/2 of their conference games would be against schools from boarder states: Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Arkansas. Florida and Georgia are far, but so is Texas, Texas Tech, and Baylor, or for that matter, Texas A&M.
The Pac-10 is playing nine conference games per season. Ditto the Big 12 this year. The Big Ten will do the same beginning in 2017. And according to this report, the post-expansion ACC will likely be a nine-game league, too. (Virginia Tech AD Jim Weaver would actually like to see a 10-game in-conference schedule.)
If the Big 12 sticks with a nine-game plan, that would leave four of the current six BCS conferences with nine-game conference schedules, one — the Big East — on life support, and the SEC all by its lonesome with an eight-game schedule. So would the SEC stand pat?
League coaches would campaign for the status quo. When the league went from six to seven to eight SEC games per year, coaches moaned. When the SEC Championship Game was added, coaches moaned. In a league as tough as the SEC — they claimed — no one could win a national title when having to play so many conference rivals.
We know now that that was faulty thinking. The SEC has won more titles post-expansion than it had in the 20 years prior to expansion (and the championship game and the eight-game schedule).
The SEC has been given the benefit of the doubt by pollsters time and again because of its perceived mini-NFL toughness. Florida was pushed into the BCS title game over Michigan at the end of the 2006 season. LSU landed in the BCS title game with two losses in 2007.
If history is a guide, a nine-game schedule would be unlikely to hurt the SEC in its pursuit of national crowns. And it may save one of the league's biggest rivalries as well.
If Missouri eventually joins the SEC, it's believed by most that Auburn will shift from the West Division to the East Division. AU president Jay Gogue has even okay'd just a move publicly.
If moved, the Tigers would then become the permanent protected rival of Alabama. Currently, Alabama's protected rival is Tennessee. If Auburn moves and an eight-game schedule is kept, the Third Saturday in October game could lose its annual slot on the schedule.
Alabama and Tennessee are one-two on the SEC's all-time standings board. They have won more league crowns than any other programs (Tide 22, Vols 13). For a league located in a region that takes its history and traditions just a shade more than seriously, it's hard to imagine the SEC allowing a classic rivalry like Alabama-Tennessee to go by the wayside.
Especially if the solution is a nine-game league schedule. A nine-game league schedule that every other major conference might wind up using.

Many consumers who drink bottled water are unaware they are ingesting one eco water.
It is so named because it defines not only a type of water, but a concept, a philosophy, that is, a way to provide quality, under the sustainability of a marketing company.
The concept ofeco watercomes from the idea that it is sustainable water, mineral water obtained directly from a spring and whose process of packaging, marketing and distribution is subject to means and systems to ensure the safety of processes.
On the one hand, to avoid altering the physical and chemical conditions of the water, but also to ensure that the client receives the same quality, consumereco watershould have drinking water feeling like I was drinking straight from the natural water source in nature.It is therefore a water travels from the mountains to your glass, through careful mediation, industrial process through respectful to the environment by.
Theeco wateris subjected to analysis and counter-analysis, which are not made to avoid contamination, but to prevent any of the aforementioned physical and chemical parameters are altered, and thus prevent the characteristics of mineral water distort.
The marketer of bottled water must meet a standard and ruled special processes, as well as some tasks and responsibilities, which should be reflected in writing and publicized in the constitution of its principles, and in which it should be clear that the company advocates sustainability and no pollution indirectly, both plant-derived packaging, such as transport systems that carry water from nature to the end customer.
Eden Springs Water receives Carbon Neutral Certification
As in other areas of industry, some years ago a new type of certification was created in the market, where CarbonNeutral , the world leader in solutions for the reduction of CO2 emissions, launched a new certification for all companies able to offset their carbon footprint on the environment in a meaningful way .
In this sense , the mother of water coolers company called Eden Springs, was able to reduce in 2010, in partnership with CarbonNeutral, emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere at a rate of 5'777 tons , and so became a Carbon Neutral certified company.

Symbian Foundation to Shut Down Websites
The Symbian Foundation announces website closures starting mid-December 2010.
Recently the Symbian Foundation announced Nokia's commitment to making the Symbian platform available under an alternative direct and open model. As a result of the Symbian Foundation licensing transition, there will be a reduction in daily operations and staff numbers.
The licensing transition will also affect Symbian's websites. All of the websites hosted by Symbian will be shutting down on December 17, 2010, including symbian.org, symbian.org/cn, symbian.org/jp, developer.symbian.org, developer.symbian.org/cn, developer.symbian.org/jp, kernel.symbian.org, horizon.symbian.org, ideas.symbian.org, blog.symbian.org, blogcn.symbian.org, and blogjp.symbian.org. The Symbian Twitter feed and Facebook page will most likely be discontinued as well.
After the developer.symbian.org site shuts down, the Symbian source repositories will no longer be available. The Symbian platform is available online until December 17, and Symbian encourages users to download the platform before the website closures.
More information on the Symbian licensing transition can be found on the Symbian wiki page.

Linux-Based IP-Video Monitoring Kit
US vendor Micronas recently launched a Linux-based hardware and software developer kit for network-based DVD quality video monitoring.
The miniature IP camera referred to as "Cypher ESN7108A SoC" is based on Micronas' own Cypher 7108A SoC (System-on-Chip). This embedded system is driven by an undisclosed 32-bit MIPS processor. According to the specifications, the on-chip video encoder supports realtime encoding with the MPEG-4 (Advanced Simple Profile), MPEG-2, MPEG-1 and H.263 codecs. In the case of MPEG 4, the video stream is additionally compressed. Supported audio codecs are MPEG 1/2 Layers I and II, and Dolby Digital AC3. A VPN can be used for network transmissions. To allow this to happen, the board includes a crypto chip for AES encryption. Further hardware components include 128M RAM, 8MB Flash memory, an assortment of sensors and a hard disk. A WiFi interface is optionally available.
The software developer environment is based on a 2.6 series kernel and includes motion detection and bitrate configuration applications. Bitrates between 128Kbps and 6Mbps are supported. Videos can be output in Microsoft ASF and AVI, Quicktime, MJPEG and MPEG transport formats. Streams can use both single and multicast Internet protocols such as RTSP.
Micronas sees the main fields of application for the kit as a basis for network-based, computerized TV, facility monitoring, or the establishment of telecommunications networks.

"I really love this card! I opted for the shimmer and I am very glad I did. It added that elegance I was going for. Nice thick card stock so no cards came bent. I liked that you could pick out the backside color/design. I would have loved to be able to choose orange not the brown as it coordinates better with the card. I chose the feather look for the full thanksgiving look and I liked it. My favorite part was being able to add my return address, my guests name and addresses and chosing to have the postage all done by tiny prints! It saved me time and that's amazing! GREAT service!!! All in all, a GREAT product!"
"I host a big Thanksgiving dinner each year and pride myself on finding great invitations! This one may be the best yet - love the ability to put a photo on the back!"
"I needed these in a hurry, and opted for express production / delivery; received them the next day. The invitations are simply gorgeous... rich color, fine printing, heavy cardstock, smooth envelopes. All -around great quality. Everyone is very impressed with these!"
"Loved this design- used it for Thanksgiving Dinner to invite family and friends, and the orange scroll design is fresh and inviting. Just brings the gathering up a notch!"
"size is slightly smaller than normal card size; great for a fall themed party, not only thanksgiving; page layout/card heading very creative and simple. Nice paper weight and quality."

This Just In ...
Kevin Fischer is a veteran broadcaster, the recipient of over 150 major journalism awards from the Milwaukee Press Club, the Wisconsin Associated Press, the Northwest Broadcast News Association, the Wisconsin Bar Association, and others. He has been seen and heard on Milwaukee TV and radio stations for over three decades. A longtime aide to state Senate Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature, Kevin can be seen offering his views on the news on the public affairs program, "InterCHANGE," on Milwaukee Public Television Channel 10, and heard filling in on Newstalk 1130 WISN. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, and their lovely young daughter, Kyla Audrey, in Franklin.
How is this a story?
The mainstream media makes it a story because they're out to crucify the guy.
Stranger Danger is real
That's why it would be good for parents to watch this program Friday morning at 11:00 Milwaukee time on HLN.
Franklin is having a senior moment
There's talk of building a new housing complex specifically for seniors in Franklin. City officials have made it clear they want no part of it. My advice to them? Careful.
I'm merely reacting to what FranklinNOW has reported in the last few weeks.
"Officials were less than enthusiastic about plans for a three-story senior housing complex at Brenwood Park Drive and Highland Park Avenue with skepticism, pointing to the high demand such facilities place on emergency services. Ken Becker of Becker Property Services and architect Bob Schultz of Third Coast Design Concepts floated conceptual plans for 62 independent-living apartment units for moderate-income seniors."
One of the concerns magnified the architectural elitist snobbery that has been a favorite pastime of Franklin for decades. It oozes from this FranklinNOW sentence. Just get a load of this arrogance standing in the way of housing for MODERATE, not LOW, but MODERATE income seniors:
"Aldermen also were concerned with the architectural integrity of the building, insisting that its exterior feature a mixture of brick and high-end vinyl and demanding quality landscaping that blends in with the surrounding neighborhood."
What would be the next hurdle to overcome? A minimum amount of Da Vinci paintings in the lobby?
Remember, we're talking about one of our two most prized commodities: senior citizens (the other would be children).
So, if you're an elected official in Franklin, and you don't want more senior housing in Franklin, how do you go about it? In the most recent case, you rather bluntly say you don't want it. And for your rationale, you argue:

Week-ends (08/03/13)
A look back at the people and events that made news the past week. Week-ends is a regular weekly feature of This Just In...
This past week has been an admittedly difficult time for everyone who loves the Milwaukee Brewers, including our fans, our corporate and community partners, and employees. We share your frustration and disappointment with the news of Ryan Braun's suspension and the mistakes that Ryan has made. We want you to know that we take this matter very seriously.
We recognize that Ryan has many steps ahead of him to regain your trust and respect. This process will take time, and the road to redemption for Ryan will not be easy. Our responsibility as an organization is to help Ryan appreciate the difficult task ahead of him and to assist in the healing process. At the same time, during this frustrating season, we want to reaffirm what the Brewers stand for as an organization. We believe everyone at the Brewers is accountable to each of you every day, and it is a team effort to meet that responsibility. We have an obligation to ensure that our players give maximum effort at all times. We also remain committed to providing you with the best experience at Miller Park. And we appreciate the tremendous loyalty and support you continue to demonstrate to the team. We never take your passion and our strong relationship with you for granted.
Starting this week, we will be introducing a series of initiatives to reaffirm our commitment to you and all of our fans throughout Wisconsin. We know that these initiatives are not a substitute for success on the field, and our primary mission remains to have a perennially competitive team. As we have previously stated, no single player defines the Milwaukee Brewers, and the success or failure of our organization is not tied to the performance or behavior of any single player. Within the clubhouse walls reside many talented players who will be the centerpieces of what we hope are the next great Milwaukee Brewers teams. This abiding belief is reflected on the cover of our 2013 Media Guide where six players are pictured. We have always maintained that any success the team experiences on the field is not possible without our fans, and we ask you to continue to be a part of the success of our organization.
We deeply appreciate your loyalty, patience, and understanding. On behalf of the entire Brewers organization, you have my pledge that we will overcome these current challenges, and we will reward the best fans in baseball with a team that truly represents our community.
Go Brewers!

The name of the run is a concept in Sikhism that refers to a mental state of optimism and joy. Runners cross the starting line of the Chardhi Kala 6K memorial run/walk at Oak Creek High School on Saturday. Now-retired Lt. Brian Murphy of the Oak Creek Police Department, who was shot 12 times and severely injured when he responded to the shooting, addresses the crowd before the start of the race. "I think what the community of Oak Creek has shown from 10:20 on Aug. 5, 2012, until now ... is relentless optimism and the ability to work together for the common good," he said.

Foster-Stephens Improves Environmental Sustainability of Wedding Gown and Heirlooms Preservation
Storing your wedding gown, vintage clothing, family heirlooms or military uniforms became more environmentally sustainable when Foster-Stephens joined the Carbonfree ® Business Partnership program last fall.
Foster-Stephens of Elk Grove Village, IL has been producing storage solutions including archival boxes, muslin garment bags and reusable/recyclable garment bags to preserve and protect wedding gowns and other family treasures since 1936. Their product line includes many styles and sizes of archival protection boxes and bags to anyone interested in preserving textiles and family heirlooms: dry cleaners, museums, designers, costume archivists, military personnel and individuals interested in preserving their heritage.
To improve their own operational sustainability and neutralize operational emissions, Foster-Stephens supports Carbonfund.org's reforestation projects around the world that help to sequester carbon dioxide and reduce carbon emissions. They also maintain recycling programs in their office and warehouse, and select products made from recyclable materials.
"We are proud of our ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint," states Nancy L. Jones, President of Foster-Stephens. "Our partnership with Carbonfund.org allows us to maintain our commitment to providing the best products for protecting textiles for future generations while offsetting the carbon emissions required to provide these products."
Historical preservation is important, but it should be accomplished with minimal impact on our environment's future. Foster-Stephens is helping to achieve this goal by carefully selecting environmentally-responsible preservation packaging products and mitigating its own business emissions in partnership with Carbonfund.org.
Live Superfoods Joins Locavore Movement Through CarbonFree® Partnership
There have been a variety of studies published in recent years showing that vegan and vegetarian diets produce a lower carbon footprint than omnivore or carnivore diets. Raw vegans further reduce their dietary footprint by greatly reducing the energy used to prepare foods. But what about the locavore movement and efforts to source food as close to home as possible?
Live Superfoods, a purveyor of raw, organic, vegan foods and nutritional supplements, recognized that their healthy diet options often came from distant lands, thus increasing the carbon footprint due to packaging materials and shipping emissions. In order to reduce these emissions, Live Superfoods took several steps to reuse and recycle shipping cartons and packing materials wherever possible, use recycled paper tape for sealing shipments and recyclable fill materials instead of bubble wrap and Styrofoam peanuts. Then, to neutralize the remaining shipping emissions, Live Superfoods joined the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program four years ago. The CarbonFree® Partner program makes it simple and affordable for Live Superfoods to mitigate its remaining operational emissions, including all shipping emissions and all employee commuting emissions, on an annual basis.
Live Superfoods purchases enough carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org to offset the shipment of products not only from their warehouse to their customers, but also from their global suppliers to the distribution warehouse. Consequently, their products have a lower carbon footprint than what most locavores consider local.
"As individuals, we're extremely excited about the locavore movement. But since Live Superfoods specializes in superfoods that are typically grown in exotic places, our company hasn't been able to participate," explains Tom Burke, CEO of Live Superfoods. "Now, by purchasing carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org, we're able to import and deliver our foods to the ultimate consumer carbon-free. Our products now have a smaller carbon footprint than foods delivered by farmers to the local farmers' market!"
Live Superfoods also participates in their power company's Blue SkySM Renewable Energy program, which supports a blend of 100% Pacific Northwest renewable resources from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. This initiative further neutralizes Live Superfoods' annual operational emissions, and together with the CarbonFree® Business Partnership, underscores Live Superfoods' leadership position as a truly sustainable provider of healthy raw vegan foods, supplements and personal care products.
Simi Valley Ford Launches "Drive to Save the Environment Campaign"
Local Ford Dealership to launch first ever green initiative to offset carbon footprints
SIMI VALLEY, Calif., January 31, 2013 - Simi Valley Ford will be launching its first-ever green initiative called the Drive to Save the Environment Campaign.The dealership has partnered with the Carbonfund.org Foundation to help offset the carbon footprint for the next 2 years of every new Ford vehicle that is sold during this campaign.The two and a half month long event will kick off on February 1st and go through Earth Day, April 22nd.
For every vehicle sold during this campaign-- from compact cars like the Ford Fiesta to the larger, F-150 trucks, Simi Valley Ford will purchase 2 years of carbon offsets by making a donation to support Carbonfund.org's carbon emissions reduction projects. Whether it's planting trees, pulling plastic out of the ocean, recycling or investing in renewable energies, the dealership has made a commitment to help reduce the carbon footprint in CA for all of the vehicles sold over the next 80 days.
"We at Simi Valley Ford are concerned about the future of our planet, so by partnering with a green organization like Carbonfund.org, we are hoping to help raise awareness to this growing issue. We are also excited to allow our customers the opportunity to drive 'emissions free,' simply just by buying a car," says Mike Shell, Fleet Manager, Simi Valley Ford.
After Hurricane Sandy, a recent survey shows that 70 percent of Americans believe that climate change is caused by our daily carbon footprint emissions. Most people are unsure of how they can do their part to help reduce emissions, so Simi Valley Ford wants to help raise awareness on climate change, while promoting Ford's green initiatives at the same time. The dealership is working with several green organizations to help promote this campaign and raise awareness in the community.
"Simi Valley Ford is taking a real leadership position by neutralizing the first two years of carbon emissions from every new Ford vehicle sold during their Drive to Save the Environment Campaign. It's this type of forward thinking and pro-activity in the fight against climate change that we encourage among our business partners and supporters," explains Eric M. Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "We're very honored to participate as a partner with Simi Valley Ford for this inaugural campaign."
Simi Valley Ford has set a goal to sell 300 new vehicles between February 1st and April 22nd.They invite any and all local and national companies to join them in helping to reach their goal. This is the first time the dealership has launched this campaign and hopes that it will grow exponentially year to year, not just in CA, but also to Ford dealerships nationwide.

2012 Retrospective – Were this Year's Events Enough to Spur Lasting Climate Change Efforts?
This year offered several events that shone a spotlight directly on the important and urgent issue of climate change, but the question remains, "Was it enough to bring about meaningful efforts to reduce climate change?"
June of 2012 presented the United Nations Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which disappointed many as international representatives hemmed and hawed instead of establishing true endeavors to tackle global warming. Meanwhile the continental United States embarked on summer heat waves that were some of the hottest in its history.
This year also saw drought cover more than half the country; farmers suffered as their crops and animals died.
Then October of 2012 brought superstorm Sandy, this year's biggest example of extreme weather and a deadly harbinger of the devastating effects of climate change. Can we continue to sit idly by in the face of all these signs that global warming is making broad changes to our planet? Should we leave these environmental problems for our children to face as we continue down an unsustainable path?
The close of the year is a time to reflect on the previous events of the year and make resolutions for the coming year. Let's pledge to make 2013 the year where we confront climate change in every possible way. We can all embark on energy efficiency efforts; reducing what we can and lowering our carbon footprints. Every bit helps. Then it is a powerful combination to offset the rest of our carbon emissions. It would be a genuine shame to let the lessons of this past year slip from our consciousness while there is still time and so much that can and should be done to address climate change.
Hearts Launches Sustainable Fashion Site with CarbonFree® Shipping
According to a study by the International Journal of Environmental, Cultural, Economic, and Social Sustainability, the issue of sustainability is increasingly important in the apparel industry. Environmentally-conscious fashion designers and retailers are moving away from the wasteful trend of "fast fashion" to focus on eco-fashion practices.
New CarbonFree® Shipping Partner Hearts believes that "conscious consumers create change," and that sustainable fashion is not only environmentally friendly, but also a means of artistic and cultural expression. As Hearts launches its sustainable fashion online store, it has chosen to embed a carbon neutral shipping program as part of its environmentally-responsible commitment.
Through the CarbonFree Shipping Program, Hearts calculates the carbon footprint associated with the inbound and outbound product shipping and makes a corresponding donation to support Carbonfund.org's projects that reduce carbon emissions, in order to lessen the impact of the carbon emissions created by any outbound shipping process. Hearts will be providing an immediate positive effect through investment back into reforestation projects, clean energy development and energy efficiency technologies.
"Hearts understands that environmental and economic sustainability is crucial with any e-commerce platform but especially in the world of fashion where it is our duty and responsibility to offset the carbon emissions when we can," stated Michelle Petro, president. She added, "We are thrilled to partner with Carbonfund.org because they too are our environmental change makers."
"Our CarbonFree Shipping Program offers a simple and affordable solution for responsible retailers such as Hearts to deliver their products worldwide in an environmentally sustainable way," adds Eric Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "The CarbonFree Shipping label will assure Hearts' customers that they're choosing to make purchases from a company that is committed to its mission of social consciousness."

The curriculum of the IPT is a highly integrated body with three fundamental dimensions: theological education, spiritual formation and pastoral orientation. These three dimensions inspire the curriculum as a whole, while individual courses highlight the particular emphasis or elaboration of each, depending on the subject matter. To grasp how these three dimensions are related to each other is to understand the unity of the science of pastoral theology as it is derived from the pastoral magisterium of the Second Vatican Council. The "great books" that serve as the foundation to this curriculum are:
Sacred Scripture
The Catechism of the Catholic Church
Rites of the Church's Liturgy
The Documents of Vatican II
The Code of Canon Law
Post-Conciliar Papal Teachings
Classics of Catholic Spirituality

Nobody I know, until I spoke last week with Jorge Kachmari of the Underscore Orkestra, a modern-day gypsy jazz ensemble that is performing one week from today at The Underground in Reno.
Having read about the nomadic tendencies and quirky stylings of The Underscore Orkestra, I asked Kachmari how he ended up with such an eclectic bunch of musicians. This led to his response about joining the circus, something he recounted as matter-of-factly as though he had said he went to the store for bread. That was about eight years ago when he was 22, and when the big top came down and the performers all went their individual ways, Kachmari said he and some of the crew formed a vaudeville-style show. They called themselves Magic Louie's Nightmare and the ______ Orchestra, since the musical component apparently couldn't think of an appropriate adjective.
After a year of that he wanted to focus on the music part of the show, so Magic Louie's Nightmare ended and The Underscore Orkestra was left to tour the country on a bus playing a mix of traditional Balkan, Klezmer, gypsy jazz, early swing tunes and original songs that seem penned by a much older soul. Kachmari said the group has a core of musicians while also incorporating other musicians as needed in the locale of the moment. The core is comprised of Kachmari on violin, guitar, harmonica, piccolo and vocals; Willo Sertain on accordion and vocals; Scott Strobbe on guitar; Danielle Elizabeth Smith on percussion and bellydancing; Joe Correia on sousaphone and bass guitar; Dave Hill on keyboards; and Andrew Alikanov on clarinet.
The group spends about 10 months a year touring – often on a bus that Kachmari converted to run on vegetable oil – and a couple of months resting, planning and recording in Portland, Ore. Working to travel and traveling to work, The Underscore Orkestra performed 88 shows in 90 days last year in the U.S., Kachmari said, and the members also toted their instruments around Europe on bicycles for a few months (with a few train and airplane trips thrown in). Many shows the group plays are booked six months in advance while others are spontaneous street performances, which often are more successful than the formal gigs, Kachmari said.
"We make more money playing in the street in Europe than we do in bars," he said.
Nobody is in it for the money, however. Being a member of The Underscore Orkestra is more about the adventure, the lifestyle, the here and now. Some members are around for the long haul, while others enjoy coming on board for short stints. Underneath the unwashed exterior is a well-rehearsed musical machine, Kachmari said, but the machine easily adapts to some interchangeable parts.
"I commented about five years ago that I said I'd do it for 10 years and see what happens," Kachmari said. "I'm not looking back at all."
The Orkestra supports itself playing anywhere and everywhere from concert halls to farmer's markets, selling CDs (they've released four CDs and the fifth, recorded in January this year, currently is being mixed) and with some grants from the nonprofit World Folk Traditions, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and preservation of world folk traditions through music, dance and performance.
"For all of us, this is about having an adventure, playing music and making people happy," Kachmari said.
The show on March 8 with My Flag is on Fire starts at 9 p.m. Admission costs $10. The show is for 21 and older. The Underground is located at 555 E. Fourth St. in Reno. For more information, call 786-2582 or visit www.renounderground.com.

Pros – Great people to work with, lots of opportunities to learn about the market place. Local management is friendly and easy to work both for and with.
Cons – Workers got moved around too much, so wrong people ended up in important positions. Company is going out of business due to poor upper-management decisions.
Advice to Senior Management – Think long-term, before other branches close too.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I'm going with the Alien Zombie Theory.
There are these evil aliens, see. And they kidnap the Montreal Canadiens, see. They turn them into Hockey Zombies, see. They look like the real players, but they can't skate, can't shoot, can't score, can't defend, can't do much of anything except stagger around looking for a tender leg to munch, the way Zombies do.
Hey, if you've got a better explanation for what happened to the Canadiens Saturday night against the Capitals, please send it to Marc Bergevin, c/o the Bell Centre — because I have covered this team on a full-time basis for 14 years and part-time for another six and watched for nearly 25 years as a fan before that, and I cannot recall ever once seeing a team wearing the CH turn in such a full-blown, unadulterated, collective stinkeroo.
Bad? The Edmonton Oilers are bad. This game was way beyond that. It was kitsch bad. It was 1960s living-room decor bad. Roseanne Barr national anthem bad. Rob Ford on a bender bad.
You're facing a team that has been having its own struggles and you go almost 20 minutes without a shot on goal? The shots are 26-3 and you're down 4-0 midway through the second period — on home ice? You're desperately in need of a win to get back on track and you lay a dinosaur egg at centre ice?
What is going on here? Are the players sending a collective message that they've had it up to here with Michel Therrien, with his mind games and compulsive juggling of his lines and defensive pairings? Or are they simply going through a stretch when they lack focus and things aren't clicking?
Bad as it was, this wasn't a one-off. The Canadiens were coming off a road trip during which they stank out the joint in Ottawa, Toronto, Pittsburgh and Detroit in succession — and escaped with a win they didn't deserve over the Senators only because Carey Price played like an eight-armed octopus goalie.
This is the culmination of a stretch that goes all the way back to that 6-0 home loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Dec. 10. That began the current streak of 21 games during which the Canadiens have managed exactly four regulation wins. There was that beautifully played win over the Blackhawks, but that looks more and more like the exception, with what happened Saturday night the rule.
The Leafs went through a similar stretch and pulled out of it with six straight wins before losing their last two, so it is possible.
But Saturday night was a statement game. It said that whatever the question is, Therrien at this point in the season does not have the answer and that the off-season moves made by general manager Marc Bergevin did nothing to help this team and probably hurt it.
This is where we emphasize that there is nothing like a three-game winning streak to make all the bad stuff go away. The Canadiens host Carolina Tuesday night, visit the Bruins Thursday and return home for a pair of Super Bowl weekend afternoon games against Tampa Bay and Winnipeg. Win three out of four and the half-empty glass is half-full again.
Therrien's job shouldn't be in immediate danger. He had some solid success here during the early parts of both this season and last season. But at some point, the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate has to point directly at the coach.
Therrien has played frenetic mix-'n'-match games with his forward lines and defensive pairings almost from the beginning of the season, to the point where his players don't appear to know what team they're on, never mind what line. His punitive benchings (with Raphael Diaz the latest victim) appear to have alienated his players rather than motivated them.
Therrien does not appear capable of adjusting on the fly. If Plan A doesn't work and the Habs fall behind by a couple of goals, they're done. If a player like Louis Leblanc has a good night (as he did while he was getting nine shifts and six minutes of ice time in Detroit) Therrien gives him nine shifts and six minutes of ice time against Washington — on a night when he could have given Leblanc a prolonged audition.
After some early success this season, Therrien seemed to hit the panic button. He pulled back into that boring dump-and-chase system that doesn't appear to suit his small, speed-on-the-forecheck forwards and he began breaking up successful lines (especially the Gallagher-Eller-Galchenyuk line) in a futile attempt to get all his lines going at once.
Then he began doing the inexplicable, like pairing P.K. Subban with Douglas Murray, a head-scratcher no matter how you look at it.
The fans are also directing plenty of blame at Bergevin. The GM had a chance to land a forward on the free-agent market who would really help this team, but he signed the wrong guy when he brought in Daniel Brière, who appears to have nothing left in the tank.
Like Denis Savard, Brière was on the Canadiens' wish list for years — and like Savard, Brière landed in Montreal at a time when his best-by date has expired. The only bright side is that the Canadiens didn't give up a Chris Chelios to get Brière and they didn't get their first choice, Vincent Lecavalier.
The prize last summer (with 20/20 hindsight) was Jaromir Jagr — big, strong, one of the great talents in the history of the game. Jagr will turn 42 during the Olympics, but he is having one of the most remarkable seasons in NHL history, leading the scoring-challenged Devils in every offensive category with 16 goals and 28 assists for 44 points and a plus-20, after passing former teammate Mario Lemieux on the career assists list in Sunday's outdoor loss to the Rangers.
That's significantly more production that the Flyers and Habs are getting out of Lecavalier (11 goals, nine assists, minus-13) and Brière (seven goals, seven assists, minus-4) combined.
Put Jagr on a line with Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty and you have that genuine top line the Canadiens are now lacking.
Apart from Nathan Beaulieu looking like a bona fide NHL defenceman, about the only bright spot of the past week has been the play of Carey Price — and he looks shell-shocked. His save percentage has dipped, his goals-against average has ballooned and his status as the overwhelming favourite to start for Team Canada in Sochi has evaporated, all through no fault of his own.
Obviously, the Canadiens miss Alex Galchenyuk, but overall they are as healthy as any team in the league. There are no excuses.
With seven games to play before the Olympic break, this team needs to put the hammer down. They come out of the break into the most brutal stretch of the season with games against the Red Wings, Penguins and Leafs, followed by a flight into the Bermuda Triangle out west, with games against the Kings, Ducks, Coyotes and Sharks before they return home to face the Bruins.
Enough with the Zombie routine, in other words. The Habs need to get their real players back on the ice — and now would be as good a time as any.

Blowing dust prompts Albuquerque health alert
Posted at: 04/25/2013 4:01 PM
By: KOB.com Staff
The city of Albuquerque's Environmental Health Department's Air Quality Division is issuing a health alert Thursday for those with respiratory conditions due to blowing dust caused by high winds.
The alert went into affect at 3:30 p.m. and will continue until midnight, according to a release from the city.
People who may be senstive to blowing dust, such as those with asthma or chronic bronchitis, are encouraged to stay indoors. Children and older adults may also be affected by the dust.
The city recommends the following for sensitive people:
- Keep windows and doors closed. If needed for comfort, use air conditioners or heating systems on recycle/recirculation mode.
- Limit your time spent outdoors.
- If symptoms of heart or lung disease occur, (including shortness of breath, chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations or unusual fatigue) contact your health care provider.
- Individuals with heart or lung disease should follow their health management plan from their health care provider. Asthmatic individuals should follow a prescribed asthma management plan.
- Avoid outdoor exercise.

Although both Wal-Mart Stores and Target delivered quarterly earnings that edged above estimates, one analyst sees a winner in aisle nine.
"Target has been a top pick here, and I would say that Wal-Mart is more or less in the middle," said Patrick McKeever, a senior equity analyst at MKM Partners. "I'm not super negative on Wal-Mart."
McKeever has a "buy" rating and a $74 price target on Target's shares.
During the quarter, Target's same-store sales rose 2.9 percent, helped by higher prices and customers' buying more items per transaction.
The number was nearly double the growth that Wal-Mart reported in same-store sales. Same-store sales at its U.S. locations rose 1.5 percent during the quarter, much lower than the 4.6-percent boost that analysts had forecast, according to Thomson Reuters estimates.
Following the Bentonville, Ark., retailer's release, its shares dove in trading, due mainly to the disappointing same-sales figures, McKeever said.
"I think it's largely that the stock was probably pricing in close to a 3-percent comp for Wal-Mart U.S.," he said. "I think that's really the main factor here."
McKeever has a "neutral" rating and a $72 price target on Wal-Mart's shares, and said the stock is "more or less fully valued at its current price."
On Thursday, Wal-Mart also acknowledged that it has expanded its own internal investigation into bribery accusations to the emerging markets Brazil, China, and India.
Despite the announcement, McKeever told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" that the investigation is not having a big impact on the performance of Wal-Mart stock.
"I mean the stock has performed well in the face of these Mexico bribery allegations and this ongoing investigation," he said. "So I think the investment community has largely discounted that."
Instead, the dive stems from investors' concern about same-store sales figures, he said.
"This is all about sales and whether or not Wal-Mart can comp better than 1.5 to 2 percent, and right now, what we saw this morning seems to suggest that that will be the pattern still going forward," he said.

Some like hot—and some like it really hot. For these heat-seeking gourmets, 'Diablito' is the pepper of choice. A Thai pepper that came to us by way of Portugal, the 2" long ruby-red fruit works diabolically well in a stir-fry or lending piquant flame-throwing commoción to Mexican dishes. Conical 2" long pepper is excellent for fresh use and dried.

Junior Stephanie Richartz won the Big Ten title in the pole vault and set the school record on Friday.
Feb. 22, 2013
Geneva, Ohio -- On the first day of the Big Ten Indoor Championships, the Illinois women's track and field team crowned one Big Ten champion and scored in three events to earn 30 team points while also qualifying individuals in seven events to tomorrow's finals. Stephanie Richartz won her first indoor conference crown in the pole vault, and was one of two individuals to set school records in their respective events. The Orange and Blue sit in fourth place heading into the final day of competition.
"We did so well today," head coach Tonja Buford-Bailey said. "We had a great first day, it ranks as one of the best ever. The four people who scored today, really had some special performances. I hope we can keep this intensity tomorrow and do the same kinds of things."
Junior Richartz won her second overall Big Ten title on Friday night, as she finished with a school record height of 13-11 1/4 (4.25m). Teammate Elizabeth Eitzen recorded her highest career finish at the indoor conference meet, finishing fourth and setting a height of 12-11 1/2 (3.95m). Also in the field events, senior Marissa Golliday finished second in the pentathlon with 4,067 points, the second most in school history. Golliday won the high jump and the 800m while senior Kristin Morrison scored one team point after finishing eighth with 3,579 total points.
"Coach Erb has done a great job with all the field event athletes," Buford-Bailey said. "For us to score 24 points in two events on day one is awesome. He spends a lot of hours at the track with the field event group with all the men's field events. His efforts are definitely appreciated. I'm also very thankful for the work Brian Carrel has done with our pole vaulters."
In the distance medley relay, senior Madeline Aufmann, senior Lauren Hollingsworth, sophomore Chloe Schmidt and junior Katie Porada combined to run a time of 11:16.03 and place third overall, giving the Illini six team points. The time ranks third on the all-time list. Porada also finished seventh in the mile prelims, finishing with a time of 4:46.22 to advance to tomorrows race.
Freshman Morolake Akinosun advanced to tomorrows finals in both the 60m and the 200m. Akinosun qualified with the fastest time of 7.34 in the 60m, which is tied for the fifth fastest time in the Illinois record books. In the 200m, the Aurora, Ill., native improved her career best time as she finished second with a mark of 23.70 which is sixth best in school history. Joining Akinosun in tomorrows finals is sophomore Ashley Spencer. Spencer qualified in both the 200m and 400m. She set a 200m time of 23.84 while running the fastest 400m time of the day (53.83). Asia Thomas also advanced to the finals of the 400m, running a lifetime best time of 54.34, which is the fifth fastest in school history.
Junior Samantha Murphy was the second Illini to set a school record on Friday as she won the 600m in a time of 1:28.87. The time was the fastest of the day and broke the six-year record which was set by Carlene Robinson in 2007 with a time of 1:29.40. Murphy also advanced to tomorrows finals in the 800m, crossing the finish line with a time of 2:07.88.
Also recording a new lifetime best on Friday was junior Kristen Wilson in the shot put. Wilson threw a mark of 46-5 1/2 (14.16m) to finish 14th overall. The mark cracked the Illinois top-10 list and sits at fifth best.

Jul 3, 2012A poorly-made, unashamedly dumb game that nevertheless offers equally dumb entertainment. [July 2012, p.69]
Apr 28, 2013While Orion: Dino Horde has potential, it will certainly fall short of even modest expectations. If it weren't for there already being quite the track record of bad Jurassic games, I'd suggest that fighting dinosaurs has never been so dull. A shame, since it's evident that the developers put a lot of time into it... it's just too bad they didn't focus on making it fun.
May 1, 2013It may be fun if we play with friends for a few hours… but it may be not. There are many games fighting in the FPS genre, and it's very hard to find something worth highlighting in this one.
May 9, 2012It's out and it costs money, despite being far from ready for prime time. Even as a quirky indie release with a budget price, Orion asks for too big a leap of faith that it'll eventually work out.
May 24, 2012Orion: Dino Beatdown is a disaster. Bugs, glitch and the lack of contents plague the entire production. It is more an alpha version than a finished game.
May 14, 2012Apart from the bugs, the game is just so utterly unappealing, aesthetically and from a gameplay perspective, that it feels almost like a tech demo (of tech from 1999), rather than an honest-to-goodness release title. Please don't waste your hard-earned dough on this mutt.

Mar 1, 2014One of the best games i own, still beats playing games that haven't done anything in years, i love the classes, the dinosaurs and the support i've received from the games staff when i' ve had problems. i haven't had this much fun fighting dinosaurs since back in turok's days on ps2… Expand
Aug 26, 2013August 26, 2013 Orion: Dino Horde by Spiral Game Studios 10/10. May 4, 2013 Orion: Dino Horde 3/10. The game was an atrocious mess by inexperienced developers. However, their game premise and chemistry had promise. The developers stuck with their first game. 14 months after the game's initial release, I played Orion. I love the game. I will probably put more hours into this game than I typically do with AAA games. It has the chemistry for replayability.
Summary: Orion: Dino Horde essentially resembles Killing Floor by Tripwire Interactive, but with dinosaurs (plus sci-fi spin). Its a fun play and will get better as time goes on. Spiral Games has a lot of potential as a developer and with their first released game.… Expand
May 6, 2012The game is buggy, but even so I enjoy it as is. The bugs being patched and all of the promised free DLC will be amazing. I am more than patient as the game only costs about 8$ less than that if you buy the 4pack.
It has room for improvement but I enjoy it as I said. Even with bugs I have figured out ways to play to the best of my ability despite tons of t-rexs coming after me (I hope they allow us to turn on T-Rex swarm in the patches to let us continue this)… Expand
Aug 24, 2013This game is an extremely fun game, but it has it's bugs. One good about this game, is that it's original. There aren't many good dinosaur games out there like this one. The graphics are alright and it has a similar look to Halo, but the smoke looks awful. The only bugs I've seen are occasionally getting stuck in a wall, but most of the time I can worm myself out. If you are on the edge about this game, wait for it to go on sale on steam 75% off. For $3.74 that's a steal, considering you can sell cards and probably get that much in your wallet, also the game itself has 6 card drops. Solid 8 out of 10, I'm excited to see what this game has next.… Expand
Dec 30, 2013The game was a bad game at launch, but the people have worked on it a whole bunch since it has released. The team is still working on it and has further plans for 2014. The game has improved significantly and deserves a fair score between the 6-8 range. Also, the graphics aren't anything spectacular, but graphics don't make the game. The game play for ORION is interesting enough to where I want to play it even without stellar graphics. It was a work in progress, but this game shows the dedication and hard work of the two that have been making this game. On another note, this game doesn't deserve a perfect score due to some bugs, not major ones, but significant enough to drop the score. The menu is also quite bare and doesn't give you an idea of the game type you are selecting and finding the right one could be a hassle (if you don't know what you're looking for). Other than that, the game mechanics are interesting and the game play is fun. I'll enjoy quite a few hours on it.… Expand
Feb 25, 2014The game has incredibly poor animation quality to the point where you can't help but laugh at players whenever you see them sprint, jump or do anything really. The sound effects are equally as poor and even though the game 'echnically' supports a controller... well support isn't the word i would use so don't bother with one. The graphics are actually surprisingly pretty good in most aspects, terrain for instance looks amazing but player models, dinosaurs and weapons leave much to be imagined. The store page mentions things like massively open areas and explorable maps but the maps are significantly smaller than most battlefield levels. Overall the game is buggy and doesn't offer anything to truly call it a sequel to its' predecessor, Broodwar added more content to StarCraft and that was only an expansion pack. This game is worth the 1$ it's being sold for at the time of writing this review but not the time it takes to install and play for more than an hour, don't bother with it.… Expand
