The Montrose County Board of County Commissioners at their January 7, 2013 board meeting adopted a proclamation declaring January 2013 as Radon Action Month in Montrose County, Colorado. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer deaths in the United States and number one cause among non-smokers. Montrose County has a high level of radon in the soil which means that all homes have the potential for elevated radon levels. Last year almost 250 homes were tested for radon and the average level of radon in these homes was 8.8 picocuries (pCi/L). Any level greater than 4 pCi/L poses a health risk and needs to be remedied by the homeowner. Radon information classes will be held Wednesday, Jan. 23 and Wednesday Feb. 6, 13 and 20, 12-1 p.m., in the Montrose Library Conference Room.
MONTROSE – Montrose Memorial Hospital is implementing visitor restrictions in an effort to protect patients, visitors and employees from the seasonal flu. Montrose Memorial Hospital is temporarily restricting visitors 12 and under from the hospital. We also ask that you do not come to visit if you are ill. Dr Michael Benziger, Chair of the Infection Control Committee ing the safety of our patients, visitors and staff during the flu season. These temporary changes to our visiting policies may be inconvenient to some, but are in the best interest of everyone."
The common cold and flu are caused by different viruses but can have some similar symptoms, making them tough to tell apart. In general, the flu is worse and symptoms are more intense.
COLDS: Usual symptoms include stuffy or runny nose, sore throat and sneezing. Coughs are hacking and productive. It's usual to have fever, chills, headaches and body aches, and if they do occur, they are mild.
FLU: Fever is usually present, along with chills, headache and moderate-to-severe body aches and tiredness. Symptoms can come on rapidly, within three to six hours. Coughs are dry and unproductive, and sore throats are less common.
PREVENTION: To avoid colds and flu, wash your hands with warm water and soap after you've been out in public or around sick people. Don't share cups or utensils. And get a flu vaccination – officials say it's not too late, even in places where flu is raging.
TREATMENT: People with colds or mild cases of the flu should get plenty of rest and fluids. Those with severe symptoms, such as a high fever or difficulty breathing, should see a doctor and may be prescribed antiviral drugs or other medications. Children should not be given aspirin without a doctor's approval.

Aren't Cardinals fans just the worst?
I'll get this out of the way right now: I'm a Cubs fan and 2011 has sucked royally. I was expecting a terrible year, this team has delivered and then some. I saw a manager (whose selection was unpopular) watch two of his players (one fat and one lazy) fight in the dugout early on in Spring Training, which led to the fat one being released. Or maybe it was his awful pitching that did that; it was months ago, I don't recall the specifics. I saw an unprecedented string of averageness when the Cubs were never more than one game away from the .500 mark for a couple weeks. I saw two starters go down with injury. I saw a (lazy) third baseman be lazy. I saw bad pitching, bad defense, bad hitting, basically I just saw the Anti-Tom Emanski videos played out over 162* games. Through it all though, I had one pleasant thought: at least I'm not a Cardinals fan.
*Note: As I write this, its actually 160.5 games, but I doubt anything will happen in tonight's or tomorrow's games that will un-do this wretched year.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have seen the Cubs contend for the Wild Card into the final days* instead of having been eliminated by Patriots' Day, I'm not saying the Cardinals team has had a bad year, I'm just saying that this particular Cardinals team (really though, every Cardinals team ever) has some awful fans. Before the season started, Cardinals fans were up in arms over Pujols turning down $200 million dollars (or more) to stay with the club as well as grumbling over Tony LaRussa sticking around for his 16th year as manager. Cubs fans can only dream of having a superstar worth spending that kind of money on, or about having that kind of stability (even if it is a douchy stability) at skipper. But they whined and moaned because the team that couldn't beat the Reds in 2010 was going to have to contend with those same (but very underachieving) Reds in 2011 as well as a vastly improved Brewers team, and do it without Adam Wainright who would miss the year with an injury. They didn't spend all their time whining, however, Cardinals fans somehow managed to view the acquisition of former Cub Ryan Theriot as a good thing because former Cubs bring good luck or something, I don't know, I rarely acknowledge Cards fans after the first three words.
*Note: As I'm writing this the Cardinals are half a game behind the Braves, Atlanta has one game left while the Cards have one left after the one in which they're currently leading, so I guess it is effectively a tie.
Once the season began, Cardinals fans began singing their same old tune: The Cards are the best team ever, we're going to go 162-0, Albert is going to hit 93 home runs (and he's never used steroids!) and Tony is going to cure Feline AIDS! Then the games started and their bullpen started blowing saves left and right, which led to a Redbird Nation suicide watch. But then, due to the magic of Tony LaRussa and Dave Duncan, the Cardinals released Ryan Franklin and the team quit blowing games in which they had leads in the late innings, which allowed them to move up in the standings. After a while the Cardinals and Brewers managed to separate themselves from the pack and make it look like the NL Central would be a two-team race (well, the Pirates pretended to exist for a while, but they don't actually matter). Then Pujols broke his wrist. And Cards fans went all Eeyore on us, again, complaining about how their magical season is over, as if Cubs fans have never had to carry on after a first baseman go down with a broken wrist. Suddenly everyone was supposed to feel bad for them because one guy got a boo-boo. For a few days Cardinals fans became so emo even emo kids made fun of them. Out of nowhere, the news broke that Pujols would only be out a couple of weeks (he's never used steroids!) and Cardinals fans were celebrating as if Louie (their stupid mascot) had invented a time machine and stopped both the Holocaust and 9/11 using only the power of love (he's never used steroids!). That's right, after a brief reprieve, I was again subjected to Cardinals fans insisting that their team was only a couple of pieces away from being the greatest team in the history of sports. "With one pitcher, we could defeat the '72 Dolphins, the 97-98 Bulls or even the 1938 Swedish women's curling team*" they said. And then they made their move, trading one young, talented, cost-controlled center fielder for a LOOGY with a name he can't even spell, a starter on the cusp of free agency and Corey Patterson. The more ex-Cubs the better, I guess? This was it; the Cardinals were going to be unstoppable. And then they fell ten games behind the Brewers.
*Note: I have no idea if there were Olympics in '38 or if curling was a sport back then or even if Sweden existed in 1938. Just go with it.
Once it appeared the season was over, Cardinals fans went back to doing what they do best, saying their team is better than the Cubs and that that's the most important thing. Never mind making the playoffs or winning the World Series, all the Cardinals are ever really after is a better record than the Chicago Cubs. This went on for a while, apparently the BEST FANS IN THE WORLD ®* forgot that they had been in a pennant race when they made their big trade, because all I heard was that the Cards just wanted to make sure they got rid of a clubhouse cancer and brought in guys who would make the team better than the Cubs.
*Note: BEST FANS IN THE WORLD is a registered trademark of people who don't realize that nobody looks good wearing red.
Something strange happened in September, the Wild Card leading Braves forgot how to win baseball games. Many theories exists, but I assume it had to do with Braves great Deion Sanders having to miss baseball games because of his grueling football schedule. Such is the life of a two-sport player. This affected the Cardinals because they had been playing kinda, but not completely, awful, but better than the Cubs, but worse than the Brewers baseball just long enough to get within half a dozen games of the Braves. You can guess what happened next. You're right; Cardinals fans went all crazy about how they always had hope in catching Atlanta and winning the Wild Card. Suddenly they went from being better than only the Cubs to being better than every other team in baseball because another team in a tougher division quit using pitchers who knew how to pitch. They began to live and die with every pitch, to abandon their homes, businesses and children in order to follow every second of Cardinals action, it was as if the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything were in a toilet bowl situated under scenic I-40*.
*Note: I don't care which highway it's actually under, Busch is under a goddamn highway.
I don't know how 2011 ends for the Cardinals, I do know that if it ends with the team not making the playoffs, or losing in the playoffs, Cardinals fans will act as if it's the end of the world, while simultaneously lording their winning season over Cubs fans. If the Cards do end up winning the World Series, they will lord it over Cubs fans while simultaneously complaining about the prospect of losing Pujols in the offseason, or worrying about Wainright coming back healthy, or begging LaRussa to return then complaining about him returning. Such is the life of Schrodinger's fans, which is why I'm glad I'm not one.
Well, that sucked. It sucked like a black hole full of Dysons. The Cardinals managed to win the World Series. As a baseball fan, I'll say it was a great series. As a Cubs fan I'll say it was the worst ten days of my life. Their insufferable fans went insane, they were clamoring on as if they had defeated no the Texas Rangers, but the Kraken. Cards fans showed what they really are, that is the National League Yankees, using nothing but world championship counts to lord themselves over all other baseball fans. They showered their team with love and affection and suddenly held their manager in the highest regard. LaRussa announced his retirement the day after the city of St. Louis held a parade for the Cardinals and fans began to cry for the loss of their brilliant skipper. A man who they had criticized months before for improperly handling his bullpen and for publicly speaking ill of his young center fielder was now an irreplaceable genius. Fans openly feared that with LaRussa leaving they would not be able to win a game ever again. It was feared that hiring the wrong replacement manager would lead to Albert Pujols leaving, which is funny because they also state that they don't want to retain Pujols if he keeps asking for a record setting contract. But Cardinals fans were soon back out of their deep depression when Mike Matheny, whose illustrious career ended far too soon, was announced as the new manager. They called him the perfect man for the job because, even though he had no managerial or real coaching experience, he has character. I guess you have to find little victories where you can. That brings us to Albert. As of now, he's still a free agent looking for a huge pile of money to sleep on while his career takes a (non-steroid induced) downward spiral. Cardinals fans love him, they see him as the second coming of Stan Musial, but they also see him as evil, since he isn't willing to take less money for the privilege of living in a dull Midwestern city that prides itself on having a monument to the fact that people have only ever wanted to pass through. Whatever happens, it is going to be a rough offseason, one in which Cardinals fans will be simultaneously gleeful and sorrowful. Like always.

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By SUSAN McMILLAN Kennebec Journal
State education officials and Gov. Paul LePage wanted a new A-F rating system of Maine public schools to spur change and improvement, but local school leaders say its influence so far has been small or nonexistent because it lacks funding, rewards, penalties and significant assistance.
Heather Perry is superintendent of Unity-based Regional School Unit 3, which had several schools with low grades. "We already had plans in place to improve those achievement results, and we're not deviating from those plans," she said.
David Leaming/Morning Sentinel
School leaders say the controversial report cards didn't tell them anything they didn't already know and that they've received little help from the state since the grades were released May 1. Legislation that was supposed to expand school improvement efforts failed in the spring.
As Maine schools prepare to reopen to students this week and next, many will continue with plans they'd already made to try to improve student achievement.
At several schools, the grades aren't a factor at all in those plans.
"We feel very strongly that we already knew our weaknesses; the grades were not news to us," said Heather Perry, superintendent of Unity-based Regional School Unit 3, which had several schools with low grades. "We already had plans in place to improve those achievement results, and we're not deviating from those plans. The grades really didn't do anything other than distract parents and others politically that this was some huge change in the system, when it wasn't."
The state's A-F report cards for schools are supposed to get the public more involved in education and direct support for school improvement to the places where it's needed most. But there are no practical consequences of the grading system, and some school officials, parents and real estate agents say it also hasn't started the sorts of conversations about education that were intended.
Marcia Buker Elementary in Richmond received a C, and parent-teacher group president Samantha Johnston said people there talked about the grading system not accurately reflecting the school and state cuts to education funding.
"As far as getting a conversation started, it definitely did that, it definitely got people talking, but nothing with any sort of positive connotation," Johnston said. "Here's the problem, but what's the solution?"
The Department of Education has called and met with officials at schools that received a D or an F, and department officials believe the grades have created a new urgency around school improvement among school boards, administrators and educators.
"I'm encouraged by the calls we've gotten and the change in attention to the data," Chief Academic Officer Rachelle Tome said. "I think we're going to see some exciting things happen this year, I really do."
This year, Biddeford Middle School is adding a block of time for customized instruction and enrichment -- something Principal Charles Lomonte said the school probably would have done anyway, but the D grade and data gave it an extra push because they confirmed problems with the progress of underperforming students.
"It helped us ask the right questions," he said. "I think time will tell whether the process works."
Statewide, the most common grade was a C. Among elementary and middle schools, there were 42 A's, 52 B's, 215 C's, 53 D's and 49 F's. There were 40 A-rated high schools, 22 B's, 66 C's, 15 D's and 18 F's.
At least two studies of Florida's A-F grading system, which was a model for Maine's, have shown that staff at F schools responded by making changes that improved student performance. Stigma is a consequence for low-rated schools, the reports say, but what schools really responded to was a provision that gave school choice to students at schools with repeated F grades.
There's nothing like that in Maine's grading system. A low grade does not create any new requirements for a school, nor for the Department of Education in support of a low-rated school.

In its pursuit of younger viewers, "Dancing With the Stars" has lined up two popular musicians for Tuesday's results show.
Emeli Sandé will perform "Next to Me," her big hit, and "Heaven." Jason Derulo delivers "The Other Side" in the show that starts at 9 p.m. on ABC. The dance contest also has to shed one of the six celebrities. "Bachelor" Sean Lowe put up the lowest judges' scores Monday, but "General Hospital" actor Ingo Rademacher looks vulnerable, too. If anyone else goes, it would be a major surprise. Just think: The winner will be named in two weeks.
Tuesday is also a night of guest stars and season finales. A few highlights:
On "NCIS," Colin Hanks ("Dexter") plays a Department of Defense investigator who evidently infuriates the team with his questions about the Bodnar investigation. The episode starts at 8 p.m. on CBS, and an oft-repeated trailer suggests the investigator particularly perturbs Tony (Michael Weatherly).
The Fox sitcoms hope big names will pull in more viewers. Rob Reiner and Mary Lynn Rajskub visit "New Girl" at 9, and Bill Hader stops by "The Mindy Project" at 9:30 p.m.
The 10 p.m. dramas load up on the guest stars. A plane crash causes a power outage on ABC's "Body of Proof." The guest stars include Luke Perry, Lorraine Toussaint, Marisa Ramirez and Joanna Cassidy. Michael Madsen, Dan Hedaya and Richard Kind are featured on CBS' struggling "Golden Boy."
"The Voice" continues with the playoff rounds at 8 on NBC. That two-hour episode is followed by "Grimm" at 10, a relocation that has been a bright spot for NBC.
In season finales, "Hart of Dixie" wraps up its storytelling at 8 p.m. on The CW. It will be back for a third season in the fall. And "Splash" names a winner at 8 p.m. on ABC. Ah, "Splash" -- one of the strangest reality series ever, and that's saying a lot.

Though the red and gold setting is new, the Mandarin, Szechuan and Hunan cuisine isnt. Choose from entrees grouped in categories like grains (lo mein), fowl (dreaming roast duck) and from the waters (hot and spicy scallops). You can't go wrong with the chef's recommendation; try "fruits of the sea," a combination of sea scallops, king prawns, lobster tail and crabmeat, accompanied with mushrooms, snow peas, baby corn, napa, red peppers and select spices, cooked in a light sauce and served on a shredded potato nest. Finish with the signature Dragonfly martini, a sweet blend of raspberry sake, amaretto, Sprite and sweet and sour.

Shari skidded to a halt suddenly, observing the large extravagant door blocking the entrance into what was presumably the creature's 'throne room'. Seemed like an awfully good place to put a trap.
She regarded Yuan at her back for a moment, before facing it again. The adrenaline pumping through her veins made it harder to feel angry at the woman any longer, alrough, being honest, the chance to prove her worth probably helped a little, too.
"We don't have much time." The husky drawl was fast, urgent, absorbed in the moment, not intent on taking no for an answer. "If this door is magically trapped, or if some abomination knocks me in, you clamber right over me and disable that monstrous sow, okay?"
The second she finished, a leg was brought down and snapped the handle clean off the door, sending it flying open...

I heard a fan on sports talk radio wonder if Joe Flacco was having nightmares about getting hit by fearsome Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware when the Ravens meet Dallas Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.
That's a good one.
First of all, I can't imagine the laid-back Flacco having nightmares about anything, unless it's about not being able to find an open pizza joint. Or losing the remote when it's time for "Jersey Shore."
So even though Ware and fellow outside linebacker Anthony Spencer come in with seven sacks and 18 quarterback pressures in their first four games, Flacco hasn't seemed any different to the rest of the Ravens.
"No, Joe's Joe," said guard Marshal Yanda, laughing at the notion his quarterback could be rattled by anything, let alone bad dreams about pass rushers.
The other thing that didn't change this week was Flacco's preparation for the Cowboys, even after the offense struggled in last Sunday's 9-6 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Practice wasn't any more intense, he said. He didn't get any more bleary-eyed from watching film than he normally does.
You don't change your routine just because you had a bad game.
"I think if that was the case, then it would be kind of a knock on how you went about your business that week — the week before," Flacco said. "I don't think it's really possible for us to change our routine.
"We are people that have to come in here — especially at the quarterback position — you have to come in and prepare the same every day no matter what happened last week, even if you lost the game, or even if you lost five straight games.
"You have to come in that next week just as you would if it were the first game of the season — with the same excitement, the same level of focus. ... We were fortunate to win the (Chiefs) game. We have to look at what we could have done better to limit some of those problems from happening and just move on. I think we do a good job of doing that."
Still, there's no question Flacco must play better against the Cowboys than he did against Kansas City.
He seemed out of sync from the beginning and never found a rhythm as the game went on. He didn't look off the coverage and stared down Anquan Boldin in the third quarter, resulting in a pick by the Chiefs' Brandon Flowers.
Flacco ended up completing just 13-of-27 passes for 187 yards and no touchdowns for a 55.6 quarterback rating. And the Ravens were saved — again — by Ray Rice, who carried the ball 17 times for 102 yards.
If anything was going to give Flacco nightmares, it was how he played.
But you couldn't put the offense's poor performance all on Flacco. That wouldn't be fair. Not the way everyone around him played.
The offensive line did a poor job protecting him. Tackles Michael Oher and Keleche Osemele struggled with Kansas City's speed rushers, especially Tamba Hali. Flacco was sacked four times. It's hard for a quarterback to have a big day when he's either flat on his back or picking grass out of his teeth.
The wall of noise at Arrowhead Stadium didn't help, limiting what the Ravens could do with their no-huddle offense.
Then there were the wide receivers, Boldin, Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones, who seemed to have never gone up against press coverage and seemed astonishingly incapable of getting open.
The Ravens can talk about a win being a win, no matter how ugly it is. And there's truth to that, especially when you win on the road. But they have to move the ball better Sunday against the Cowboys. They have to do better than three Justin Tucker field goals if they want to sniff the Super Bowl.

This is a great product for an industrial type decor - we put them at an in-home bar with exposed pipes, brick, etc. The paint finish is not even which is part of what we love about them but wouldn't work well in a polished decor. The hole in the seat is great for easily lifting, and they stack well. Lightweight and easy enough to move around while being extremely sturdy. They're also surprisingly comfortable for a metal stool.
Ordered these stools to add some industrial/vintage flair to our kitchen. The stools are fair condition, don't really see them lasting years but for the price I can't complain & can easily change again when I grow tired of them. If your looking for designer stools, these are not for you. The colour is painted on & really takes away from the charm.
Very nice light weight but solid looking bar stools. The color turned out to be perfect for my use. They are a bronze color rather than aluminium like the counter height stools.
I really like the stools. Comfortable and easy to store. Perfect for where I wanted them to go. Only comment I have is the color is more brown and the website pictures seem to show them as more gray.
Great pieces at a great price. The stools are lightweight, yet very substancial. The color is a sort of patina metal, which gives term even more character. Love these!
I really liked how these look, and structurally they're well made, but the finish is too easily scratched and marred.
Really great stools. i like them alot. i mean its a stool, so theres not much it cant do, it gets sit on. i keep mine outside, they work.
These are well priced, shipping is cheap and fast. Looks great with many different decor styles.
Great stool and exactly what was expected except for the color. Was expecting them to be a bit more antique/bronze but are much more of a solid color. Regardless a great item!
I was looking for industrial/rustic/vintage stools for my eclectic style kitchen in my 100 year old house. Something that would play nice with other elements but not steal the show. These are perfect, and the patina finish is just right. Not as stark as black and not as cold as stainless. I love that they are lightweight, and they are comfortable enough. The size is great, and I love that there are no moving parts to break.

I have posted the following on iphone-dev, just wanted more people to hear it, and tinker with it, and give feedback.
My view on 1.1.1 jailbreak is as such, we have something that apple did not want us to have, we can downgrade to 1.0.2, and we have all the files of 1.1.1.
What do we need? Jailbreak. Write access, or even exec, as governed by fstab, which is on /dev/disk0s1, which is clobbered bits and pieces by the update, hence everything is overwritten. WHAT IF. We downgrade from 1.1.1->1.0.2, we'd still have baseband of 1.1.1, and remember, we have the files of 1.1.1 from /dev/disk0s1, so what we could do is, cd /dev/disk0s1 (in 1.0.2, on ssh), rm -rf *, cp <1.1.1 files> /dev/disk0s1 , edit fstab to give the proper access, reboot. BAM. 1.1.1 phone with 1.1.1 baseband, with edited FSTAB to give jailbreak access.
Some of the devs have promised to tinker with the idea, but some are afraid of brickage should anything go wrong with the kernel.
For myself I'm just waiting for my 1.1.1 phone to arrive and I'd try. for now, post your feedbacks (constructive), and for those with real stones, how about an experiment and post some results? Lets help the devs out and do what we can do on our own Thanks.

We have long protested the mass clubbing of seals for fur and other products as inhumane, so last week's World Trade Organization ruling that the European Union can ban the import and sale of seal products for "moral" reasons is a real victory for animals.
Along with the Mission of Ecuador to UN, we co-hosted a successful breakfast meeting with representatives of United Nations Member States and Agencies bringing us one step closer to getting animals in disasters included on the UN global agenda.
WSPA and the Mexican Government will be co-hosting an event at the United National to discuss animals in disaster
Earlier this year, the United Nations launched their global online MY World survey asking people around the world to vote on the issues that matter the most to them.

Through our Collars Not Cruelty pilot program in China, we have vaccinated over 70% of the dog population in the three areas where we are working. Meet some of the dogs and their owners.

WSPA and CIWF release new briefing on human health and animal welfare.
Every year, the Cayman Turtle Farm releases a handful of baby turtles into the wild in celebration of Pirates Week festival. The news that this year's release has been cancelled is therefore a victory for turtles and a source of hope that things are beginning to improve at the Farm.

plant took the machine off their hands." Owen Matheson was employed by the power company to operate the engine. Ann Jones Gardner made the following note in her scrapbook : "Our home was the first house wired for electricity in town, so of c o m e it was a real occasion. Ferd Hintze was here courting Henrietta, and Willard and Sophia and I came home for Christma3 in 1907 to be here when the electric lights were turned on for the first time in Cedar City." Ann and Willard were attending the Unive~sity Utah. of The light plant was operated from sundown until 11 :30 P.M. and on two days of the week it was operated for a half of the day for washing and ironing. The following schedule of prices was adopted as a flat-rate: One 16 candle power light. . . $.50 per month. Minimum meter rate. . . $1.00. Any amount of power used over the minimum rate was 10 cents per I000 watts or K.W.H. In the spring of 1908 after the canals had been repaired, the water was turned into the system again and the steam engine was to run the generator in emergencies only, because of the high operating cost. In order to cover the cost of materials involved in building the power plant, along with the equipment, labor costs, power poles, etc., the committee negotiated a loan from the Bank of Southern Utah in Cedar City. Actually, the costs were kept at a minimum hecause much of the labor was donated by the committee and others, but the costs mounted until the outlay reached approximately $40,000.00. Because of the constant repairs and operating expenses, the income was not sufficient to pay hack any of this money. The committee had planned on the city assuming the debt and taking over the operation of the power plant as soon as the plant was in steady operation but, because of the opposition from many Cedar City citizens, the city officials refused to assume the debt or take over the plant. Much of the objection was from businessmen who sold other types of lighting. I n the early years of the power plant the operation was not very dependal~le and the city felt it was not a very good business venture. Since there was no other alternative, the committee continued to operate the power plant the best way they could. The committe had all kinds of problems to cope with in order to keep the power plant going. In the winter, the water froze in the ditches and ran very slowly, or not at all, unless someone kept the ditches cleaned. This job had to he done by hand and it was an extremely difficult task to fix them without horses or machinery. It was important to keep the water running so that the walls of the ditch would not break. Once when the tunnel jammed with ice, Lehi W., along with some other men, was working to keep it open. I.ehi had his son, Henry, with him. Henry was sent through the tunnel to clean out the ice. By the time he 168 .

AUSTIN -- Go ahead and mark your calendar on February 8, 2013. That's the day Austin City Council has recognized as an experiment of sorts. All you have to do is stay busy and just stay at home.
It stems from the question Austin traffic prompts too many times.
"Why does everybody have to go home at five o'clock," said Austin driver Mike Harrell.
Coming or going, it's a battle Gabby Huerta summed up as,"Awful! Especially here on I-35."
With roughly 130 people moving to Austin every day, cutting that commute down or avoiding it altogether has never looked better.
Now Austin workers have their shot. Come February 8th, Austin City Council is encouraging everyone to trade traffic for the telecommute. The idea came from Social Good Summit Austin, a group of tech leaders dedicated to the environment.
Glenn Gadbois with Movability Austin said the day focusing on improving the air we breathe brings lots of other perks.
"It's air quality, it's quality of life, it's health," Gadbois said. "The more time you sit in a car the less time you have to exercise, be with family, all that sort of stuff."
Gadbois said if just ten percent of downtown workers put in a day or two at home, the freed up space could make attracting customers much easier.
Austin already ranks tenth in the nation for telecommuters. The main purpose behind all of this remains reducing air pollution. On February 8th, members of Social Good Summit Austin measurements will be taken on the drop in carbon emissions and miles saved on fuel.

Great intro to Indian food! – I have many Indian friends and have tasted their authentic home-made meals and those are great when you really want a spicy experience but Saffron is wonderful for those less experienced with Indian spices and flavors. It's more of an American-Indian restaurant which may be why the other reviewer of Indian descent found the food "tasteless". But, I assure you it is hardly that at all! We had a fabulous appetizer of naan bread made with cherries and almonds with a great dipping sauce, an eggplant dish and a potato-cauliflower curry...all was above and beyond yummy!
I am so happy to have finally found a restaurant in this area that we can count on for great flavors and good prices!! The waitstaff can be slow but their overt friendliness and willingness to please you make up for it...just don't go there if you are in a hurry. They do offer take-out and catering too. When we were there last, they brought us our check after the appetizer because we had been waiting so long for our dinner they thought we were done....they apologized profusely, brought our dinner out right away and gave us a complimentary dessert...the waiter also marked on their takeout menu the dishes we had eaten because we liked them so much! But none of that was a real problem since the food was great, the people were friendly, didn't need a reservation and the atmosphere was enjoyable. Can't say enough about this place. Great character!
Great Food lots of choices, Live music of fridays – We have been eating at this restaurant for the last 2 years. We have love the food and the poeple. They are very friendly and hospitable and very accomodating and the food is delicious. The restaurant is absolutely clean unlike some Indian restaurants. The food is always freshly made with a lot of variety, we have celebrated many occasions there including ring ceremony, wedding catering and baby shower there. We love the restaurant and highly recommend it.
Worst indian food ever – This was the worst Indian food I have ever eaten. (I am of Indian descent, thus I know a little about thse things.)
The buffet was the standard Indian dishes i.e. if you've ever been to a buffet in an Indian restaurant you know what I mean. Two major problems: (1) every one of them was absolutely tasteless. (2) Even though, I arrived at around 1 PM fo the lunch beffet, every dish was absolutely cold.
Avoid this place.
Waited for, but didn't get, a good meal – Even though only about 3 tables were occupied, the servers took too long to take our order and too long to prepare our food. The food was average at best.

Just finished building up my Ti Qoroz. Had the frame built to the same specs of my Scott Addict R2 sans the integrated seatpost. The SS couplings are sturdy! The wheels were snagged from my C50. Plan to purchase a set of Enve hoops with King hubs (pewter colored hubs to match the headset) in the near future. Bottle cage is temporary. Hope you like it.
I think this saddle cover compliments the metal frame:

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
SUBSEQ was sometimes crashing lisp when the end index was less than the start. This was due to one of two things: The result sequence was created with a negative length, creating invalid objects, or accessing the invalid object would cause a segfault. code/seq.lisp: o Declare the type of LENGTH in MAKE-SEQUENCE-OF-TYPE better. It's not a fixnum, but an index (non-negative fixnum). This should catch any mistakes where we try to create sequences of negative length. o Explicitly catch invalid START and END indices in VECTOR-SUBSEQ* and LIST-SUBSEQ* and signal an error general-info/release-20c.txt: o Document bugfix.
Change uses of _"foo" to (intl:gettext "foo"). This is because slime may get confused with source locations if the reader macros are installed.
Remove _N"" reader macro from docstrings when possible.
Merge intl-branch 2010-03-18 to HEAD. To build, you need to use boot-2010-02-1 as the bootstrap file. You should probably also use the new -P option for build.sh to generate and update the po files while building.
Restart internalization work. This new branch starts with code from the intl-branch on date 2010-02-12 18:00:00+0500. This version works and LANG=en@piglatin bin/lisp works (once the piglatin translation is added).
Mark translatable strings; update cmucl.pot and ko/cmucl.po accordingly.
Add (intl:textdomain "cmucl") to the files to set the textdomain.
Hack to get this to run because kernel:index is still a 32-bit fixnum instead of the 64-bit fixnum we want.
boot-2009-07.lisp: o Bootstrap file needed to compile this change (because the current shrink-vector derive-type optimizer didn't handle union types). compiler/fndb.lisp: o Make the compiler warn if the result of lisp::shrink-vector is not used. This is a problem because the compiler doesn't know that shrink-vector destructively modifies the length of a vector. As a partial solution, warn the user if the result of shrink-vector is not. code/hash-new.lisp: code/seq.lisp: o Make sure the result of shrink-vector is used, to get rid of a new compiler warning. code/unidata.lisp: o Modify %unicode-full-case so that it doesn't use shrink-vector anymore. compiler/seqtran.lisp: o Fix shrink-vector derive-type optimizer to handle union types. tools/build-unidata.lisp: o Fix typo that someone got in. o Make sure the result of shrink-vector is used, to get rid of a new compiler warning.
Merge Unicode work to trunk. From label unicode-utf16-extfmt-2009-06-11.
Add comment that it's not clear how to make remove-duplicates work with surrogate pairs.
code/seq.lisp: o Moved STRING-REVERSE* and STRING-NREVERSE* to string.lisp because we need to use WITH-STRING. code/string.lisp: o Fix STRING-REVERSE* and STRING-NREVERSE* which were not properly handling non-simple strings. The following tests were not returning "edcba": (let* ((x (make-array 10 :initial-contents "abcdefghij" :fill-pointer 5 :element-type 'base-char)) (y (reverse x))) y) (let* ((x (make-array 10 :initial-contents "abcdefghij" :fill-pointer 5 :element-type 'character)) (y (nreverse x))) y)
Oops. Fix another typo.
Fix typo.
o Lots of spelling fixes from Paul. o Add unicode codepoints in final-sigma.lisp (in case the characters there don't show up correctly). o Support partial-fill in READ-INTO-STRING.
Fix typo in STRING-REMOVE-DUPLICATES*.
From Paul. Make a note that REMOVE-DUPLICATES and DELETE-DUPLICATES does the wrong thing with surrogate pairs. (This needs to be fixed.)
From Paul: Here's a version of [n]string-(up|down)case that handles non-BMP characters. Also added functionless stubs for normalization forms. Improved string-reverse* and implemented string-nreverse* in a way that shouldn't cons (not the original way I worked out, which might be faster but is quite complicated). (The glyph builder now stops when it hits a combining character that's out of sequence (canonical order)---I'm not sure whether or not that's the Right Thing to do)
More updates from Paul. code/seq.lisp: o Update SEQ-DISPATCH to allow a special dispatch form for strings. o Implement STRING-REVERSE* that correctly handles our UTF-16 strings. o Implement STRING-NREVERSE*, but this needs work to reduce consing. code/string.lisp: o Add GLYPH and SGLYPH to return the glyph from a position in a string. code/exports.lisp: o Export GLYPH and SGLYPH
This large checkin merges the double-double float support to HEAD. The merge is from the tag "double-double-irrat-end". The double-double branch is now obsolete. The code should build without double-double support (tested on sparc) as well as build with double-double support (tested also on sparc).
Tell COERCE how to coerce something to a (complex double-double-float).
Add basic support for kernel:double-double-float type. The primitive type is there, and basic arithmetic operations work as well as PRINT. But many things do not work: No reader, formatted output, many mixed type arithmetic operations, special functions are just double-float values, coerced to double-double-float. compiler/generic/interr.lisp: o Add new error compiler/generic/new-genesis.lisp: o Dump double-double-float objects (barely tested) compiler/generic/primtype.lisp: o Tell compiler about the new primitive type double-double-float. compiler/generic/vm-fndb.lisp: o Make double-double-float-p a known function. compiler/generic/vm-type.lisp: o Update FLOAT-FORMAT-NAME to include double-double-float compiler/generic/vm-typetran.lisp: o Tell compiler about double-double-float type predicate. compiler/sparc/float.lisp: o Add necessary vops to move double-double-float args, store and load double-double-floats to/from the double-double-stack, double-double-reg moves, box and unbox double-double-floats, move double-double-floats to and from args o Add necessary vops to create a double-double-float and to extract the high and low parts out of a double-double-float. compiler/sparc/parms.lisp: o Define double-double-float-digits compiler/sparc/type-vops.lisp: o Define double-double-float type vop o Adjust number hierarchy to include double-double-float compiler/sparc/vm.lisp: o Define the necessary storage class and storage base for the double-double-reg and double-double-stack. lisp/gencgc.c: o Tell GC about double-double-float objects. lisp/purify.c: o Tell purify about double-double-float objects. code/class.lisp: o Add the new double-double-float class. code/exports.lisp: o Add the necessary symbols to the various packages. (This is important to get right otherwise there's confusion on what symbol really represents double-double-float stuff.) code/float.lisp: o Implement some of the necessary functions to support double-double-float. code/hash-new.lisp: o Hash double-double-floats by xor'ing the hashes of each double-float part. (Is that good enough?) code/irrat.lisp: o Implement the special functions by calling the double-float versions and coercing the result to a double-double-float. This is needed to get type-derivation working, but the precise value isn't that important right now. We'll have to implement them later. code/kernel.lisp: o Make make-double-double-float, double-double-hi, and double-double-lo known functions. code/lispinit.lisp: o Register the :double-double float feature. code/load.lisp: o Add FOP for reading double-double-float values from fasls. (Barely tested, if at all.) code/numbers.lisp: o Implement basic arithmetic operations for double-double-floats. This needs quite a bit of work to clean up, but most things work. code/pred.lisp: o Tell the type system about double-double-float type. code/print.lisp: o Add very rudimentary printing for double-double-float. Basically copied from code written by Richard Fateman, with permission. code/seq.lisp: o Tell coerce how to coerce things to a double-double-float. code/type.lisp: o Tell type system about the new float format double-double-float and how numeric contagion works with double-double-float. code/dump.lisp: o Tell dumper how to dump double-double-float values to a fasl. compiler/float-tran.lisp: o Add appropriate deftransforms to handle conversion of things to double-double-float and from from double-double-float to other float types. o The basic implmentation of double-double-float arithmetic is also here. o Add deftransforms to tell the compiler how to do basic arithmetic and comparisions on double-double-float numbers. compiler/srctran.lisp: o Fix a bug in interval-range-info when :low is 0dd0 and :high is 0. We weren't returning the right value, which confuses interval-div, which caused an infinite loop because we couldn't split the numerator into positive and negative parts. o Tell other parts about double-double-float.
Merge code from main branch of 2005-12-17 to ppc gencgc branch. Still doesn't work of course.
Merge snapshot-2005-05 to this branch.
A sequence type of NULL isn't too hairy for the sequence functions.
(coerce #c(1 2) '(complex float)) was causing an error. Fix it. (From sbcl-devel mailing list.)
Change RESULT-TYPE-OR-LOSE to signal an error if the sequence type is too hairy for use to handle. This is a workaround for the ansi-test MAP.48: (map '(or (vector t 10) (vector t 5)) #'identity '(1 2 3 4 5)) This used to cause an infinite loop. Now we get an error. Need to work on this.
(remove-duplicates (list 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2) :start 3 :end 9) => (0 1 2 0 1 2) instead of (0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2). Bug fix from Peter Graves, via cmucl-imp, 2004-09-27.
Fix for (search '(1 2) '(3 4 0 1) :test #'<), which should return 0. From Wolfhard Bu� on cmucl-imp. * src/code/seq.lisp (search-compare-list-list) (search-compare-list-vector, search-compare-vector-list) (search-compare-vector-vector): Reverse arguments to compare-elements.
Fix code signaling type-errors which did not have :datum and/or :expected-type, which lead to the conditions which were not displayable because the corresponding condition slots are not bound. * src/code/seq.lisp (coerce): * src/code/list.lisp (nreconc): * src/code/interr.lisp (invalid-array-index-error): * src/code/bignum.lisp (bignum-to-float): * src/code/byte-interp.lisp (%byte-car, %byte-cdr): Fix type-errors to include :datum and/or :expected-type. Add &more handling to the byte-compiler and -interpreter. Reported by Paul Werkowski on cmucl-imp. * src/compiler/byte-comp.lisp (make-xep-for): Handle &more. * src/code/byte-interp.lisp (hairy-byte-function): Change type of rest-arg-p slot. (invoke-xep): Handle &more.
From Eric Marsden: fix typos in comments, signal more specific error types, remove some stale code, fix a few compiler warnings in the runtime.
Coercing a number, make sure the resulting coerced number is of the right type. For example (coerce 2 '(single-float 3.0 4.0)) now signals an error. Based on a patch in SBCL by Christophe Rhodes, 2002/16/12.
o Check that the args are sequences for some, every, etc. o NSUBSTITUTE and friends were not handling the :from-end arg correctly. Use the version from SBCL.
o Remove the VECTOR-COUNT and LIST-COUNT and use VECTOR-COUNT-IF and LIST-COUNT-IF instead. o Make count use these macros instead and to honor :from-end, which was previously ignored. (Based on the code from SBCL).
MAKE-SEQUENCE checks the length is compatible for the types 'NULL and 'CONS.
Make REMOVE and friends handle negative or bignum :count arguments. Bug noted by Paul Dietz, fix by Gerd Moellmann.
Entomotomy bug remove-malfunctions-with-start-end-and-from-end Fix remove to handle combinations of :start, :end, and :from correctly. From Gerd Moellmann.
Checked in Brian Spilsbury's experimental Unicode, locales, and dialect support patchset. This lives on its own branch, so that people can play with it and tweak it, without disturbing 18e release engineering on the main branch. Bootstrapping has only been tried on LINKAGE_TABLE x86/Linux builds. A working cross-compile script is checked in under bootfiles/19a/boot1-cross-unicode.lisp. The script still leaves you with some interactive errors, on the cross compile, which you should answer with 2. See the mailing list for more information.
Slight reformulation of the make-sequence code, which makes the overall logic slightly clearer, and also aids the Unicode merger/branching effort.
CONCATENATE and MAP were allowing output-type-specs of SIMPLE-ARRAY and ARRAY, which aren't sequences. Catch those errors.
If the sequence type has a length, we check to see that the length matches the length of the sequence type.
(coerce <rational> '(complex float)) is a (complex float), not a rational. (Patch from Wolfhard Buss.)
Rework the sequence functions MAP, SOME, EVERY, NOTANY, and NOTEVERY. Work through lists in parallel rather than applying elt at each iteration which scales far better as the list lengths increase. Further take care to allow circular lists, so long as one of the sequences is bounded. Based on a contribution from Colin Walters.

Cleanup the error handling in result-type-or-lose.
Cleanup the error handling in result-type-or-lose.
Update from the current main branch.
Fixes and improvements to July-14 commit dealing with condition types in calls to error. From Douglas.
This revision merges in many of the fixes for ANSI condition types in various calls to ERROR. Those easily handled by using new condition types simple-file-error and simple-program-error are included. The only functional change here is that the function CHARACTER no longer accepts an integer argument so as to be ANSI compliant. This may break some code.
This (huge) revision brings the RELENG_18 branch up to the current HEAD. Note code/unix-glib2.lisp not yet included -- not sure it is ready to go.
Coerce must signal a type-error when requested to coerce to the empty-type; problem noted by Peter VanEynde.
Elt now signals TYPE-ERROR when index is too large. Required by ANSI spec.
Fix the handling of the :key keyword argument for many of the list functions which did not handle a :key of Nil. Noted by Paul Dietz.
Long-float support.
Have the following sequence functions accept a :count of NIL: delete, delete-if, delete-if-not, remove, remove-if, remove-if-not, substitute, substitute-if, substitute-if-not, nsubstitute, nsubstitute-if, nsubstitute-if-not.
Merge remove-duplicates fix from 1.25.
The returned vector element type of some sequence functions, including coerce, was being lost. Patch result-type-or-lose to use (type-specifier (specifier-type type)) to find a suitable result type return than just returning 'vector.
The returned vector element type of some sequence functions, including coerce, was being lost. Patch result-type-or-lose to use (type-specifier (specifier-type type)) to find a suitable result type return than just returning 'vector.
Minor doc changes to delete-duplicates and remove-duplicates. Reverse argument ordering in call to test function in list-remove-duplicates* so as to be consistent with CLtL2.
Adds some forgotten error messages and a few misc fixes
Werkowskis source kit 1.03.7
Fixed MAKE-SEQUENCE to not specify make-array initial-element when it is not specified in the arg so that (vector float) works (as per suggestion of DTC). Also fixed things to use type system operations so that they should be really robust in the presence of deftype types, etc.
Fix headed boilerplate.
Allow coercing to float (meaning single-float.) Check that numeric coercions actually return a value of the specified type (which they might not if the type is not a symbol, e.g. (coerce 0 '(complex float)). Possibly these should "do the right thing", but it seems better to error than quietly do the wrong thing.
Fixed coerce to use subtypep to analyze the output type spec instead of checking for magic symbols.
Un-broke (coerce x 'single-float)
Fixed coerce to call type-expand so that people can coerce to deftypes.
Fixed COUNT :TEST-NOT to actually negate the test.
Fix compiler warnings.
Wrote MAP-INTO.
Fixed a couple bugs introduced with last mods, plus a few other places assignments and extra )'s were missed.
Changed lots of setfs to bindings to suppress warning about setfs causing problems for argument type proclamations. Also removed extra )'s.
Added :KEY argument to REDUCE. Fixed SUBSTITUTE & friends to pass arguments to the TEST in the right order. Fixed SUBSTITUTE not to randomly apply the KEY to the OLD value. Changed LIST NSUBSTITUTE & friends to work in the :FROM-END case.
Merged Mile's fix to remove-duplicates :from-end.
Really fixed output type stuff this time. Now in the fall-through clauses, we call OUTPUT-TYPE-OR-LOSE, which uses SUBTYPEP, and guarantees to return one of LIST, STRING, BIT-VECTOR, VECTOR or NIL (the last enabled by an optional.)
Fixed up concatenate, map and make-sequence-of-type to handle DEFTYPE'ed types correctly. COERCE is still broken.
New file header with RCS header FILE-COMMENT.
Changed nsubstitute-if-not to not declare the :END argument as FIXNUM. Changed nsubstitute-if to declare the :END arg as fixnum after defaulting. Somehow managed to stop myself from rewriting the entire file.
Changed ELT and %SETELT to check that the index is less than the LENGTH, which might differ from the array dimension when the array is non-simple.
Moved MIPS branch onto trunk; no merge necessary.
Added single-float and double-float branched to coerce.
Added simple-base-string and base-string wherever simple-string or string occure.
Changed type-specifier to type-specifier-atom so that it would not clash with kernel:type-specifier.
Initial MIPS version.
/usr1/lisp/ncode/seq.lisp, 12-Jul-89 13:19:40, Edit by Chiles. Moved APPLY-KEY and IDENTITY to list.lisp.

Candidate for Florida governmor Rick Scott at Mulligan's Sports Grille
Candidate for Florida governmor Rick Scott at ...
NAPLES — Rick Scott entered a Naples restaurant and pub filled predominantly with his supporters and took a stance against Jackson Labs. Previously the candidate was somewhat unclear about his views on the proposal.
Scott, who touts his business acumen with 35 years experience, including running a giant private hospital firm, said he would bring businesses and jobs to the state if elected as Florida governor.
His campaign slogan after all is "Let's get to work."
The Jackson Labs deal doesn't look to be the answer, he said on Sunday night.
"The way I look at all these projects, is that there is not a good return, so I wouldn't support it," said Rick Scott regarding Jackson Labs and similar Florida deals including U.S. Sugar and the Tri-Rail project
Scott, 57, said he was happy to be home for one of the the few days since entering the race in April.
It was standing room only at Mulligan's Sports Grille in Naples near the Coastland Center mall as Scott, who began with his somewhat vague and noncommittal stance on the Jackson Labs proposal in Collier County finished his sentence saying it looked to be a bad deal for taxpayers.
Regarding similar deals across the state, including U.S. Sugar and the Tri-Rail project, Scott began on Sunday as he had throughout the campaign: "Spend capital where you're going to get a return on investment."
"Would we do this with our own money?" he asked the crowd.
After a resounding "no" from many of the hundreds of partakers in the meet and greet, Scott then said:
"The way I look at all these projects, is that there is not a good return, so I wouldn't support it," he said.
Scott also doesn't support the use of stimulus money, on which Jackson Labs is contingent.
Scott was surrounded by many supporters, members of the Tea Party and the Southwest Florida 912 group at the locally owned and operated restaurant.
Scott, who said smaller government and fewer regulations would create a healthier business outlook, garnered support with that stance from Naples resident Carson Beadle.
"I think regulations are killing this country," said Beadle. "Small businesses can't keep up with it," he said, adding that he comes from big business.
However, not everyone was decidedly for Scott, who is running against Florida career politician Attorney General Bill McCollum in the Republican primary on Tuesday.
The only other Republican in the race is Plant City's Mike McCalister, who is a poorly-funded candidate and retired military man serving as a college professor.
"There are things about McCollum that I like and there are things about Rick Scott that I like," said Naples resident Carolyn Hoover.
Hoover said she was glad she attended because she is now leaning toward supporting Scott.
"There are a few things in his background that I'm not happy with," Hoover said.
She alluded to the 1997 investigation launched by the federal government into the hospital giant Columbia/HCA of which Scott was the then-CEO. It became the largest health-care fraud case in U.S. history. Columbia/HCA paid a record $1.7 billion in fines, and Scott resigned amid pressure from the company's board of directors, leaving with $300 million in stock and a $10 million severance package.
Scott also faces new allegations recently of fraud and over billing at Solantic Inc., a chain of walk-in clinics he founded in 2001.
Hoover said she likely could look past those clouds because she believes Scott is not run by special interests.
"He seems to be independent," she said.
Scott said he supports safe off-shore drilling, seeks to decrease property taxes and will cut government spending if elected.
"Hold me accountable. You'll make me a much better governor," he said.
