Chapters are the essential element in APWA's service delivery system for its members. They offer one of the most immediate, easy and cost-effective opportunities to exchange information with colleagues and to keep up to date on the latest public works technologies and management trends. Organized within nine regions, APWA's 63 chapters are located throughout North America and serve virtually every metropolitan area, state, province and region on the continent. View the Chapter Websites and Summaries page for contact and background information as well as links to Chapter websites.
Chapters engage in the same educational, networking and public service activities as the national organization, but they do so close to home-where members can easily take advantage of them. Chapters offer members the opportunity to attend educational programs, equipment shows and the chance to network with their colleagues and peers in a professional setting. To see what an APWA chapter is doing in your area, click on the Chapter Websites & Summaries link to the right of this page, and find the chapter in your area. While the number of meetings in a calendar year differs from chapter to chapter, each holds at least one annual meeting for its membership.
APWA membership automatically includes one year of membership in your local APWA or CPWA chapter. Chapter assignment is determined by the member's mailing address. However it is possible to make a special request to be assigned to a chapter other than that which corresponds with member's mailing address, call 800-848-APWA for more information. Often it is at the chapter level where members make personal connections, and attend educational programs, equipment shows, and social events with public works professionals from their neighboring communities. All APWA chapters are part of the national association, therefore it is not possible to attain membership at the chapter level only. Visit the Chapter Websites & Summaries page for more information about chapters near you.
In addition to the primary chapter assignment, any member may also opt to receive newsletters and information about upcoming activities in other nearby APWA chapters. There is no extra fee for using this "info sharing chapter" option. For complete details call the APWA national office at 800-848-APWA, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Some chapters cover large jurisdictions and have formed branches to bring educational and networking opportunities to an even more specific geographic area. These branches operate under the oversight of the local chapter. Some branches have established branch dues to help support the programs they are offering in their specific geographic area, but branch membership is optional, so branch dues (if applicable) are not included with the national-chapter membership invoice. All APWA chapters and branches are part of the national association, therefore it is not possible to hold membership at the branch level only. To find out if your chapter has branches you can use the Branches link on the left side of this page then, if you find an applicable Branch, use the Chapter Websites & Summaries link to go to the webpage for that particular Chapter/Branch.
The Canadian Public Works Association (CPWA) was founded in 1986 to enhance the services of the American Public Works Association to the Canadian public works community and to improve the quality of public works products and services to Canadian citizens. Since 1986, CPWA has become "the voice of public works in Canada". CPWA is an organization of public works professionals in Canada who are members APWA. Any individual, agency or corporation in Canada with an interest in public works and infrastructure issues can become a member of CPWA by simply joining APWA. Information about our Canadian chapters is available at www.cpwa.net.
Chapters are the basic organizational element of the American Public Works Association. The chapter is the point at which most direct member contact takes place and a chapter is in the best position to deliver substantive services to its members. Strong chapters translate into a strong organization. To see a Chapter's leadership list, go to the Chapter Websites & Summaries page then click on that Chapter's Contacts link.

Your 5 past Red Wings series that you wouldn't re-watch?
#1 Guest_irishock (Guest)
Posted 12 August 2012 - 11:32 AM
I'll start:
1.2009 vs Pittsburgh (argh, just bitter)
2.2011 vs SJ (close but no cigar)
3.1996 vs Colorado (Best reg. season ever)
4.1999 vs Colorado (Chance at 3peat and we blew it midway)
5.2012 vs Nashville (Losing in that crap arena on Lidstrom's final game with the damned fans chanting "You Suck")

'06 loss to Edmonton
'03 loss to Ducks
'01 loss to Kings
'95 loss to Devils
All sucked and were not much fun to watch.
"For my game, I don't need to score the goal," Konstantinov once explained. "I need someone to start thinking about me and forgetting about scoring goals."
Posted 12 August 2012 - 12:02 PM
'04 loss to the Ducks ... great team with Cujo in nets ... on top of that Federov left ...
'07 loss to the Ducks ... game 7, where they gave Datsyuk the tripping penalty if I remember right
'99 loss to the Avs ... 3 time champ dream got flushed ....
'95 loss to the Devs ... Anytime you lose in the finals it hurts ...
For a team that has had a lot of success we sure had our heart breaking moments. I mean, sure we had more success then any other NHL team but our heart breaks have been much bigger then other teams due to the success we've seen. Look at our fan base, we had one bad off-season and everyone is about to burn the city down!

96 Avs
95 Devils
94 Sharks
93 Leafs
Avs hated them ever since they changed from the Nordiques. Penguins one stings a bit still. Devils sweeping us Scott Stevens smoking Kozlov, they owned us that series. Osgood blunder vs the Sharks.
All give me nightmares still
Posted 12 August 2012 - 03:21 PM
'95 Devils was a bizarre loss - how could we lose 4-0 to them? was my overwhelming thought at the time.
'96 Avs was a soul-destroying loss, would we ever win a Stanley Cup? I remember Stevie Y saying he didn't want to leave the house all summer.
'12 Preds was pretty sucktackular all round.

The worst one was 2009, by far. A game seven loss in the finals has to hurt more than anything. That and the fact that they paraded the cup around the Joe. What made it brutal for me was that as I was watching, I actually believed we were going to tie it up until the last second, even on Lidstrom's last shot. I was so sure it was going in. Then the other team started celebrating and the fall-out and realization of what happened was traumatic.
Haha, I'd post the video of that last shot but I don't have the heart to go looking for it.
as soon as i saw that the lidstrom shot didn't go in, i turned the tv off. couldn't bring myself to watch crosby parading the cup around. i still haven't watched anything from that series to this day

09 .. Ill never let Brad Stuart's bad pinches in game 7 go. EVER! Ozzie's position on Talbot's goal is burned in my brain too.
Posted 12 August 2012 - 06:07 PM
Posted 12 August 2012 - 11:38 PM
2. 2003 vs Anaheim...Not sure if we could have out played them anymore than we did, but Giguere was just lights out
3. 2001 vs Los Angeles...Everthing came unglued and the 3 goal comeback in game 4 was the beginning of the end
4. 1996 vs Colorado...All the winning up to that point meant nothing and a dream season was gone
5. 2004 vs Calgary...All the bounces Calgary got when they needed them and not one bounce went our way
6. 1995 vs New Jersey (Honorable Mention)...I wanted to crucify Mike Vernon
5 Series I could watch over and over again...
1. 2008 vs Pittsburgh...Obviously
2. 1997 vs Colorado...Finally got by our nemesis
3. 1997 vs Philadelphia...42 years of frustration was ended when the Captain hoisted the Cup
4. 2002 vs Colorado...The final chapter of the great rivalry and seeing Roy get pulled topped it off
5. 1996 vs St. Louis...Stevie Y's heroics in game 7 put him into the legendary category
Posted 13 August 2012 - 12:27 AM
i get sick to my stomach watching any series that the wings lose but the 09 finals was beyond brutal. blowing a 2-0 and 3-2 series lead and losing the cup at home?
Thing is, we actually didn't deserve to be 2-0 and 3-2 up. The only game we outplayed them the entire series was Game 5. The entire series we were so banged up we were just clinging on by our fingernails through sheer willpower

1999 Avalanche (up 2-0 going home, and going for a 3-Peat)
2003 Ducks (still embarrassed about this one)
2006 Edmonton (see above)
2004 Calgary (see above)

agreed. osgood was our best player by far in that series.
if wings win the cup, osgood most likely gets the conn smythe, a 4th stanley cup and would most likely be a shoo in for the hall of fame

09 Penguins, 07 Ducks, 96 & 99 Avalanche, 94 Sharks, and 87 & 88 Oilers hurt. 09, soooo close. 07, watching Lidstrom lay his stick out and deflect that puck over Hasek, bad mistake. 96, great regular season, fell short, 99, up 2-0 and fell apart. 94, losing to San Jose in their first playoff series ever (stinkin' Jamie Baker). 87 and 88, the odds were long, going up against the Oilers, but I was 11 and 12 years old, so it still hurt. And I hated the Oilers then!

All officials, whether they be Police, Judges, Military, Governors, or Legislators Affirm their oath to uphold the US Constitution.
It is unconscionable that even 3 people think it to be otherwise.
Sovreign States banded together to form a united, but limited Federal government. Limited how? By the powers SPECIFICALLY delegated to it by the Constitution. All other matters fall to the individual States or to the people, themselves.
Each State is responsible to ensure that the Federal Gov't doesn't overstep their bounds, as is each person.
All governments in history have overstepped their bounds and ALL governments lean towards control, not liberty.
Whether you agree with one cause or not, you should recognize the boundaries set up in the Constitution are their for ALL of our benefits, not just the ones that you wish to call crazy.

I believe it's easy to tell fecal-heads from those who follow the Constitution; whether the State or American. Unger, Snyder, and Lawrence are just part of the problem WV has; then, there's the ilk of Skinner [LGBT], and the upcoming, also LGBT, Rod Snyder, chairof the state demon party, so you'll see social WV "social issues" will continue.

politicians cater to those who elected them,who put $$ in their coffers. They also play the #s..there was a time when gun owners out-numbered non-gun owners in this area...not so anymore with the influx of City dwellers. So all the politicians are doing is playing the majority- wins card, nothing else. This is nothing new to politics,in fact, we should come to expect it these days...American politics at it's best!!!

Business Buzz: Exclusive look into Tyson Foods test kitchenUPDATED 2:58 PM CDT Apr 30, 2013
40/29's Brittany Bell goes inside Tyson's test kitchen where the company tests out new products.See how it goes from the drawing board to your plate.Video Transcript
SPRINGDALE. BUT YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT A LOT OF TYSON'S PRODUCTS ARE CREATED IN THE COMPANYS SECRET TEST KITCHENS. 40/29'S BRITTANY BELL GIVES US AN INSIDE VIEW OF WHAT GOES ON IN THESE KITCHENS. Craig Bacon, VP of Research Center "every fourth meal is likely a Tyson meal, and I know that every fourth meal is likely developed by one of our folks back here." THIS MEANS THAT ONE IN EVERY FOUR MEALS YOU EAT MOST LIKELY INCLUDES A MEAL FROM TYSON. A TEAM OF UP TO 80 FOOD SCIENTISTS WORK AT THE TYSON FOOD RESEARCH CENTER IN SPRINGDALE. THEIR DESKS LOOK LIKE A TYPICAL CORPORATE OFFICEWITH CUBICALS AND COMPUTERSBUT THE REAL WORK HAPPENS IN THE KITCHEN. THAT'S WHERE THEY TEST NEW FOOD INVENTIONS THAT WILL SOME DAY END UP IN THE GROCERY STORE. Brittany :08 " A lot of the chicken products that you buy at the grocery store like the popcorn chicken and the fajita strips all got their start right here in Springdale." THE PROCESS STARTS WITH AN IDEA FOR A NEW PRODUCT BY ON OF THE FOOD SCIENTISTS HERE. AFTER THE IDEA THEN THE SOMETIMES LONG PROCESS OF TESTING BEGINS. Craig Bacon, " We might go through 500 renditions of a sample before we get thats it thats it. That's perfect. So sometime it's a lot of testing and error and on the next one we might get it right out of the gate." WHILE MAKING THESE PRODUCTS TASTEY ISN'T THE ONLY THING THAT'S IMPORTANTIT ALSO HAS TO BE SAFE AND NUTRITIOUS. ONCE THE SAMPLE PASSES THESE TESTS THE MARKETING BEGINS AND THE PRODUCTS END UP ON YOUR PLATE. Craig, " It's a big day when that advertisement comes on and you see your new product and it's being advertised...that's fun." ONE OF THE MOST RECENT PRODUCTS CREATED AT THE RESEARCH CENTER ARE NEW GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN NUGGETS THAT YOU CAN FIND IN LOCAL GROCERY STORES.

The term mortadella pants can be applied to any overweight person wearing overly tight jeans. Their legs take on the appearance of a mortadella sausage wrapped extremely tightly. An acceptable and perhaps equally humorous alternative is "kielbasa trousers".

Investigators and a coroner are at the site of a fatal airplane crash in Mineral Valley east of Carson Valley this evening.
Douglas County Sheriff's Spokesman Sgt. Jim Halsey confirmed the wreckage was that of a Cessna 172 that failed to return to Minden-Tahoe Airport after taking off at 5 p.m. Wednesday.
While the sheriff's office has yet to identify the single person found dead with the wreckage, it is feared to be Minden pilot Keith Jorgenson, 46.
Jorgenson didn't file a flight plan when he took off on Wednesday, expecting to return by nightfall. When he didn't return, searchers began calling surrounding airports and trying to detect a signal from the plane's emergency locator transmitter.
Washoe County's RAVEN helicopter spotted the wreckage in the Pine Nuts southwest of Mount Como shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday.
"They found the wreckage and they don't think it's a survivable crash," Airport Manager Bobbi Thompson said Thursday
"The airplane is occupied by one decedent," Halsey said. "Identification of the decedent has not yet been made."
The Cessna 172 is owned by Gardnerville resident James McFadden, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The tail number is N328SP.
Jorgenson and his wife purchased Flying Start Aero flight training school last year.
Jorgenson has worked as an independent security contractor in Afghanistan, and enjoyed flying both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

Comments about LUCKY SUMMER LOVIN HALTER:
The pictures don't do this suit justice. I tried to send some pictures of this after I bought it and it just doesn't translate we'll in a photograph. The colors are more of a light teal and dark browns. The material is super soft and feels great on your body. The fit is awesome! I wear a size D bra so can have trouble finding bikini tops that provide enough cover but still look hot--this one does both. The ruffles are hard to see in the image, but placed perfectly to flatter the female body in all the right places. Of all the suits I've ever bought, this ranks at the top!

Does Criminal Law Deter? A Behavioral Science Investigation
Paul H. Robinson
University of Pennsylvania Law School
John M. Darley
Princeton University
Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, pp. 173-205, 2004
Does criminal law deter? Given available behavioral science data, the short answer is: generally, no. The behavioral sciences increasingly call into question the assumption of criminal law's ex ante influence on conduct. Potential offenders commonly do not know the legal rules, either directly or indirectly, even those rules that have been explicitly formulated to produce a behavioral effect. Even if they know the rules, the cost-benefit analysis potential offenders perceive - which is the only cost-benefit analysis that matters - commonly leads to a conclusion suggesting violation rather than compliance, either because the perceived likelihood of punishment is so small, or because it is so distant as to be highly discounted, or for a variety of other or a combination of reasons. And, even if they know the legal rules and perceive a cost-benefit analysis that urges compliance, potential offenders commonly cannot or will not bring such knowledge to bear to guide their conduct in their own best interests, such failure stemming from a variety of social, situational, or chemical influences. Even if no one of these three hurdles is fatal to law's behavioral influence, their cumulative effect typically is.

Join in the International Babywearing Week celebrations by sharing your babywearing photos- link up in the Mr. Linky here... and you could win!
I've written quite a lot about babywearing over the years, but do still get asked the same questions over and over again. So, here's a little refresher!
If you are just starting out and have a new baby, I always suggest a ring sling. It was my first sling and I found it to be the easiest when starting out. Any ring sling will do- you can shop online, check ebay, La Leche League meetings, or visit a local Mom's group.
If you can, try out a couple different types of carriers to see what works best for you! If not, I recommend buying a carrier that you can easily exchange in case it is too big or too small, or just not the right fit for you.
Wraps are great, too. Just remember that stretchy wraps are best for smaller babies and woven wraps are better for both smaller and heavier children.
If you are going to do a lot of walking or wearing baby for a long period of time, a mei tai (pronounced MAY-tie) is definitely worth the investment. The only mei tais I've had experience with are the FreeHand and Baby Hawk, but there are many out there to choose from. Don't get intimidated by the straps- it is very easy to learn the best ways to tie and wear baby in both a front & back carry!
I've never tried an ERGO Baby Carrier, but would love to. Don't you think Ivy & I would look great with this!?
If you are a larger Mom, you might find that a ring sling with a longer tail will give you a better fit. Just ask the person making the sling to make it a little longer for you. Same with mei tais and wraps- just ask for a little extra and it shouldn't be difficult to have a custom carrier made for you.
Some tips if you find that the sling is not comfortable for you or baby- often the "cradle hold" is not the baby's favorite position, so try carrying them with their tummy to your chest and the rings up high if being worn in a ring sling. You should be able to smooch their little head when wearing them- this is Ivy's favorite way to be worn (as shown in the photo above)!
Make sure your sling is spread evenly across your back and that the rings are up high in the area where a corsage would be worn. No matter what baby carrier you are wearing, baby should be in a position that would resemble how you would hold them in your arms. They should not hang too low to the front or side.
This past summer I was able to attend the Babywearing Conference in Chicago. Jennifer Norton, founder of TheBabywearer.com was the keynote speaker, and I was moved by her babywearing journey: One important note that she expressed with her heart was- that because a Mother's need for support is so very necessary in feeling like she is doing a good job as a Mom- we mustn't ever criticize someone for not wearing their baby.
We should never make another Mother feel less-than or that what she is doing is wrong. If it works for her, that is what is most important. The findings about the benefits of babywearing that Jennifer was sharing is what has been found through her extensive research, and while I hope that every Mom could experience the bliss of babywearing that I've known in my own life, I can not expect every Mom to be just like me. I want the "every Mom" to be just who she needs to be.
You can go on to read more about Jennifer Norton's presentation here.

The Oral Hearing in Competition Proceedings Before the European Commission
Wouter P. J. Wils
King's College London; European Commission
April 21, 2012
World Competition: Law and Economics Review, Vol. 35, No. 3, September 2012, pp.397-430
This paper deals with the (formal) oral hearing in competition proceedings conducted by the European Commission for the enforcement of Articles 101 and 102 TFEU (antitrust proceedings) and under the EU Merger Regulation (merger proceedings). It analyses the legal basis and the nature and purpose of the oral hearing, examines who can request an oral hearing, and who can attend and speak at the oral hearing, compares the oral hearing with state of play meetings, and provides some general observations as to what factors may make addressees of a statement of objections decide in favour or against requesting an oral hearing.

The 7 Most Impressive Dick Moves in Online Gaming History
#3. Turning Pets into Suicide Bombs -- World of Warcraft
Some people go to a remote cave system, allow an evil force to turn a living thing into a bomb, then take it to the most capitalist location they can find and let it explode. Those people are in World of Warcraft, so Blizzard probably saved the Department of Homeland Security by building them a voluntary brain prison.
Michael Blann/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"I could kill evil monsters, but it's more fun with real people, and where are you going?"
The fire elemental boss Baron Geddon cast a Living Bomb debuff, which turned players or summoned pets into massive 10-second grenades. Ten-second grenades that were paused, not cancelled, if that pet was dismissed, allowing players to smuggle these living bombs into civilian areas of the game where attacks weren't normally possible and kill a room full of people by shouting, "Here, boy!"
The bomb hit for a basic 3,200 damage, amplified by any damage-increasing gear worn by the victims, and (like any attack) caused expensive durability damage on death. So dropping it in the auction house, packed with unsuspecting victims buying and trying out the most expensive and powerful gear they could afford, was more perfectly targeted dicking than rubbing the G-spot.
The only other place you can ruin so many people with imaginary numbers is Wall Street.
This utilized the same pet-debuff exploit as the corrupted blood plague, which exterminated entire servers. Man, you'd think if anyone understood that players will do the same things over and over again, it would be the developers of World of Warcraft.
#2. The Purple Pot Machine Gun -- Ultima Online
Ultima Online was one of the earliest and most infamous online games. It had all the community spirit of a slaughterhouse built on an Indian burial ground, and about the same survival rate. The first thing new players learned was that less new players could and would murder them. The game was a vast pyramid of people pissing downward, and your reward for continued play was looking up and climbing.
Origin Systems
You actually felt lucky if you got far enough for this to happen.
But this is the Internet -- beginners should be able to be total dicks to everyone, too! And giving doofuses access to amazing abilities they never earned is technology's entire deal.
Creatas Images/Creatas/Getty Images
"This GPS system, which understands aspects of general relativity I can't even spell, is so slow and stupid!"
Scripts (or macros) are mindless programs that execute a set of boring, repetitive commands so that humans don't have to. They give MMO players great power, in the same way that combining matter and antimatter gives great power: You're combining total opposites to destroy the point of both.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Players wrote scripts to select and throw purple potions, alchemical grenades that exploded on contact. The script removed the hassle of inventory access and selection that normally made this a special weapon, turning it into a machine gun. A slow-firing gun, but a gun that fired exploding bullets in a world where everyone else had swords. Unlike intended combat abilities, it could maintain full damage output even when both parties were running at full speed, so shooting fleeing enemies in the back went from war crime to standard protocol.
This wasn't some obscure effect exploited for minor advantages. It was spammed by more online beginners than the Google search for "tits" -- a horde of nobodies running around unleashing alchemical fire on anything and everything that crossed their path. It drove expert players insane. You had some dumbass with a ludicrously lethal weapon insisting that it's absolutely legal according to the rules as they now stand, and you could do nothing to prevent them from just killing you at any time except hope they didn't. It was almost like meeting someone with a real gun!
#1. The Greatest Dick Ever -- EVE Online
Of course EVE is No. 1. Thousands of EVE players only read this far to check that it was, and I lied when I said that they read instead of scrolled. EVE is what happens when someone gives Ayn Rand a warp drive and tells her, "You know what? Andrew Ryan wasn't enough of a capitalist dickhead in gaming!"
This monocle alone cost 60 real dollars, and this caption is NOT A JOKE.
In EVE, attacking people, hiring professional trolls, even destroying thousands of real dollars are all fairly regular occurrences. To stand out as a dick in this world, you have to take it to the next level, and Alexander "The Mittani" Gianturco was a giant dick on so many levels, he's rendered Dubai skyscrapers permanently obsolete.
Chris Jackson/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Beyond a certain point, it would have been cheaper and less blatant to grow a giant real penis.
As head of Goonfleet, one of the most powerful alliances in EVE space, he targeted a gullible miner called "The Wis" (as in "wizard"). (In EVE, miners are people who escape reality by pretending to be computer programs, repeating the same boring actions over and over to make a small number bigger.) Goonfleet annihilated the Wis so brutally and repeatedly that he sent the Mittani a personal message begging to be left alone, confessing that EVE was all that kept him going since his wife left him and pledging to stay out of Goonfleet's way.
By the way, it's a good rule to assume that anything you write online might be seen by the entire world.
The Mittani didn't just share this mail: He flew to Iceland to present it as a PowerPoint, grabbing a microphone and putting on a wizard hat to read it out in a whiny voice at the official EVE Fanfest 2012, which was being broadcast live around the world, closing by giving out the target's name and inviting everyone else in the game to target him and help drive him to suicide.
That is the Eiffel Tower of dickery, because it doesn't matter if you disapprove -- you still have to admire the sheer level of work put into the pointless gesture. That is more single-minded commitment to being a jerk than converting to Buddhism so you can reincarnate as a Caribbean chef's chicken. Van Helsing didn't travel so far or employ so much technology to destroy his target.
CCP,EVE FanFest2012
"I put on my wizard hat."
There was more fallout than Bethesda. Developers CCP banned the Mittani for a month and kicked him from his position as chairman of the player council -- this is the same company that OK'ed massive banking fraud and the outright destruction of tens of thousands of dollars of player money in-game. When you're such a dick that not only are you visible from space, but that space kicks you back to the real world for a timeout, you are without question the greatest dick in online gaming history.

COLUMBIA — The Senate Ethics Committee has found probable cause to substantiate ethics allegations against longtime Charleston Democratic Sen. Robert Ford.
The committee, which is composed of 10 of Ford's fellow senators and investigates members of the upper chamber, said in a release late this afternoon that a formal hearing will be held.
Among other allegations, Ford is accused of using his campaign account for personal use between July 10, 2009, and April 10, 2013.
A Senate Democratic Caucus spokesman said Ford has no comment at this time.

The Rise of Homo sapiensPosted Thursday, December 6, 2007, at 3:11 PM
It has long been speculated that some 30,000 years ago the last of the Neanderthals died out, leaving us, Cro-Magnon humans the last of the upright Hominids. Theories explaining their extinction mention climate change and competition with present day Homo sapiens. But something else happened along that same timeline and I think this might explain it.
The first domesticated animal joined the group. I am thinking, of course, of dogs. Fossil evidence indicates that by 20,000 B.C. the wild wolf and humans had become symbiotic, giving both species a heck of an advantage for survival. Picture this: As hunter-gatherers, early man had to follow the food supply, establishing temporary camps for home bases. The guys go hunting and the gals tend the fire and children while gathering fruits, berries, grubs and the like. Most of the time us guys come back empty-handed with stories of the one that got away, but this time we come back with a liter of wolf pups we found after being attacked by their mother. Over time, some of these wolves "go back to the wild" so to speak, but not all. Some identify with their new human pack mates, accepting man's place of dominance, the new alpha males.
Now we have two tribes of humans, one with dogs the other without. The one without (i.e. Neanderthals) attempts a midnight raid on those scrawny, weak, high brows on the other side of the valley, just as they had many times before. But this time their sneak attack falls to pieces when a pack of recently domesticated wolves, now part of the Cro-Magnon pack, smells them coming hours before they get there, wakes everybody up, and tears into the intruders like a pack of wild wolves. End of game, and the world would never be the same again.
Over many generations we select and modify those traits to get the hundreds of dog breeds we now have: Working dogs, guard dogs, herding dogs, tacking dogs, hunting and retrieving dogs, etc. and along the way develop modern civilizations. Now that we don't have to worry about being raided every year by those big, ugly, strong Neanderthals, we can concentrate on building communities, developing agriculture, creating an alphabet for a written language, the list goes on and on.
And we owe it all, or if not, perhaps at least much of it, to "Fido, man's best friend".

, updated January 19, 2013 at 2:28 AM
Twenty-one Buffalo police cadets were sworn in Friday to begin six months of training before hitting the streets as patrol officers.
Mayor Byron W. Brown and Police Commissioner Daniel Derenda presided at the swearing-in ceremony as dozens of the cadets' family members proudly watched in the Training Academy at Buffalo Police Headquarters.
"You are entering a proud tradition. You're joining one of the finest police departments in the nation," Brown said, explaining that public safety is playing a major role in helping attract new commercial and residential development to the city. "Overall crime in the city has been decreasing since 2006, and one of the factors that is looked at when decisions are made on whether to invest in a region is public safety," Brown said. "The more successful the Buffalo Police Department is, the more continued investment there will be in the city."
Derenda told the recruits they can expect to be "worked hard" over the next six months as they receive instruction at the Erie County Central Police Services Law Enforcement Training Academy and that he looked forward to seeing them at the completion of the training.
Taking the oath were:
Mark D. Ambellan, Andrea A. Anderson, John R. Bannister, Joseph J. Christopher, Agnieszka Dembinska, Kyma J. Dickinson, Robert J. Felschow III, Nicholas R. Herbert, Michael A. Kausch, David F. Kimmins, Anthony R. Kozlowski and David M. Kubiak.
Also, Todd C. McAlister, Patrick J. McDonald, William J. Moretti, Michael J. Norwood Jr., Sharese L. Saleh, Thomas P. Sullivan, Courtney A. Tripp, Jenny M. Velez and Gaisha B. Wilson.

REEDSVILLE - As the holiday season approaches, a Reedsville church is trading traditional gift options for donations that can change lives.
The fourth annual Alternative Gift Fair at East Kishacoquillas Presbyterian Church offers shoppers the opportunity to give a meaningful gift and offer a donation to local and national organizations at the same time.
Event organizer Cassie Campbell said shoppers can make donations to organizations that match the interests of friends and family members.

Brenda Peightel, left, presents an alternative gift card to Gay Rodgers Sunday while Marilee McNitt and Bailey McNitt look on.
"When you're giving this gift, you're thinking of the other person... their interests, their passions... and helping to push it forward for someone else," she said.
Jene Mertz, also helping to organize the event, said the idea is to keep the spiritual focus to the holiday season by supporting groups that offer community and humanitarian services.
"It is a gift that keeps on giving," Campbell said.
Fifteen organizations will be represented at the fair this year: The Abuse Network, Habitat for Humanity, Mifflin-Juniata United Way, Shelter Services Inc., Rescue Our Furry Friends, Reedsville-Milroy Meals on Wheels, Mifflin County and Juniata County Pet Food Pantry, Mifflin County 4-H, Reedsville Volunteer Fire Company, Mother Hubbard's Cupboard, LUMINA Center, Friends of the Mifflin County Library, Santa's Bookbag, Smile Train and Heifer International.
While most of the organizations are local, Mertz said the inclusion of Smile Train and Heifer International was a way to recognize deserving groups doing good work around the world.
"We liked the local places but we also felt that we, in this country, are so blessed that to ignore the issues further around the world was really neglecting people that need serious help there too," she said.
The Alternative Gift Fair will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 2, with a food stand opening at noon at the church in Reedsville.
As shoppers arrive, they will receive a donation form that lists each participating organization. Mertz said shoppers may walk around to visit with representatives from each group and ask questions about the organization or how donations will be used.
After shoppers decide which groups to support, they can fill out the form and write a single check to the church for their donations. Donors will receive acknowledgement cards to give as a gift to their special someone.
Mertz said the full-size gift cards include a smaller business card listing the name of the organization that received a donation.
In previous years, the fair raised thousands of dollars for participating organizations, and Mertz said she hopes the fair will do just as well this year.
"We're just amazed by the support that has been offered...if we can increase this, even more money goes out to the community to do good things," she said.
In case of bad weather, or for shoppers who are unable to attend, the donation form is also available online at www.eastkish.org. Forms should be mailed by Dec. 15 so that cards can be mailed to donors before the holiday.
"(The fair) truly hits on what Christmas is about," Campbell said.
Equal Exchange coffee, tea and chocolates will also be available for sale at the fair. Mertz said the system ensures that farmers receive a fair portion of profits from the sale of goods.

An average American's greenhouse gas emissions begin to decrease around age 60. Retirees aren't struck by a sudden commitment to the environment, but because they're not working full-time, they drive less. They might buy fewer clothes. They move into a smaller house. Now, two companies are betting that the promise of ditching electric bills for the rest of their lives will compel them to choose a net-zero energy house, too.

MIT Researchers May Have Found Cure for the Common Cold, Other Viruses

The left panel shows treated and untreated cells in regards to the common cold virus (rhinovirus) while the right panel shows treated and untreated monkey cells in regards to dengue hemorrhagic fever virus
(Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers (DRACOs) could be the answer for terminating viruses like H1N1 influenza, stomach viruses, a polio virus, several types of hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever
Viruses like the common cold and influenza are infections that we occasionally must ride out. All anyone can really do is rest and take medications to ease the symptoms, which can range from congestion to fever to vomiting. Other viruses, such as
, can be potentially fatal due to Ebola hemorrhagic fever.
While many bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics, not many viral infections can be treated with medications. Only a "handful" can fight viruses, like the protease inhibitors to
control HIV
, but most other treatments only relieve the symptoms, and even that can take several days in some cases. Viruses are difficult to attack because they change and replicate in healthy cells.
But now, a team of researchers at MIT's Lincoln Laboratory
may have found the cure
for the common cold as well as many other viruses like H1N1 influenza, stomach viruses, a polio virus, several types of hemorrhagic fever and dengue fever. The team, led by Todd Rider, a senior staff scientist in Lincoln Laboratory's Chemical, Biological and Nanoscale Technologies Group, created therapeutic agents called Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizers (DRACOs) which have successfully terminated viral infections.
Viruses infect cells
by taking over the cell entirely and multiplying. While making copies of themselves, the viruses also produce long strings of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). This is not found in animal or human cells.
To fight these infected cells, healthy human cells have proteins that bind to dsRNA, which then prompts a series of reactions that work to stop the virus from making copies of itself. The problem is that the virus can block one of the healthy cells' series of steps to prevent its replication somewhere down the line, allowing the virus to change and further reproduce once again.
To remedy this problem, Rider and his team mixed a dsRNA protein with another protein that causes cells to go through apoptosis, which is programmed cell suicide. One end of the DRACO binds to dsRNA while the other end is instructed to launch cell suicide.
Also, each DRACO consists of a "delivery tag" that they received from naturally occurring proteins. This allows it to enter any human or animal by crossing cell membranes, meaning that it can combat a broad spectrum of viruses, possibly including new outbreaks.
The team tested the DRACOs in human and animal cells cultured in the lab as well as mice infected with the H1N1 influenza virus. They found that DRACO left the mice fully cured of the infection, and that DRACO is not toxic to these animals. In addition, DRACO only targeted cells with dsRNA present while leaving healthy cells alone.
Rider and his team are now testing DRACO on other viruses in mice, and hope to eventually test it on larger animals and humans.

RE: Bad management
I was expecting a lot more anger about being right than what you've expressed.
Firstly, as one would expect in any good piece of science, the temperature scale used is the internationally recognised centigrade or Celsius scale, not the Fahrenheit scale. The temperature I am talking about is 10 - 14 deg Centigrade, also known as 10 to 14 degrees Celsius, not 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The scales are different.
10 degrees Celsius is not the same as 10 degrees Fahrenheit!
How much more clearly do you want me to express this?
Secondly, I didn't say you needed to move to a warm climate, I said that if you manage the way you look after your nose then that goes a long way to avoiding getting the flu, which would make living where you do much more enjoyable.
Since you live in a place where the temperatures are well below freezing point, then there are really two approaches to avoiding the flu. One approach, which is what people have used for thousands of years, is essentially a combination of random chance and "well, this works, but I don't know why"; while the other, which is what I proposed, is a more scientific and managed approach.
What is difficult to understand about "cold air damages the tissues inside your nose"? Is that difficult to understand? What would you expect "10°F" air to do to your skin? You would expect it to be injured. If that is what happens to the skin you can see, then what happens inside your nose?
Or what is difficult to understand about "the inside of the nose is a filter"? Sure, that isn't the scientific way to say it, but most people will understand what I wrote. If you damage a filter system, what would you expect to happen? You would expect stuff to get through that shouldn't. So what would you expect to happen if you damage the nose's filtering capabilities? You would expect stuff to get through that shouldn't, and one of those "stuff" is bacteria. So if you damage the nose's filtering capabilities then you would expect bacteria to get through, and then you would expect to get some sort of throat infection. Does that sound familiar?
Next, understanding why your nose gets congested is important to managing your nose. You obviously understand why paying for heating in the winter is important: because it stops you getting sick.
Not understanding why your nose gets congested means that when it happens you don't know whether it is a good thing or not, and if you take the wrong approach to this then you would expect to either get sick or hinder healing, and one of the very common progressions from "a cold" is to get the flu.
My proposition is that congestion in your nose is God's way of allowing the nose to heal, and that by understanding this then when your nose does get congested you know that your nose is trying to heal itself. As such, the correct approach to a congested nose is to consider the congestion as a "quasi-normal process" (meaning "a normal process when things go wrong") and that it is what caused your nose to get injured in the first place (e.g. being in freezing cold air for too long) as the "abnormal process" that needs to be remedied, and not the congested nose.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Sorrento Therapeutics has been awarded a $600,000 Phase I small business technology transfer research (STTR) grant from NIAID to fund development of antibody therapeutics and vaccines against Clostridium difficile infections that disrupt the organism's quorum sensing communication process. The grant will be split equally over two years and could lead to the award of a three-year, $3 million Phase II award, the firm states.
Sorrento has an exclusive license to Scripps Research Institute technology that targets specific auto-inducing peptides (AIP) that are central pathogen virulence. The platform is being combined with the firm's human antibody library platform for the development of anti-infective candidates.
Sorrento claims the Quorum Quenching (QQ) approach has two major features that distinguish it from other antibacterial approaches. Firstly, rather than attempting to directly eliminate infecting bacteria, the QQ approach is designed to modulate the global virulence of the invading pathogens, allowing the bacteria to be cleared by the host's immune system.
Secondly, the species specific AIP targets are mutationally constrained, making them ideal targets for therapeutic intervention: although required for virulence, the AIPs are not essential for bacterial viability and growth, which means there is less selective pressure for the generation of resistance, the firm explains.
Sorrento's lead QQ program, STI-001, is focused on developing fully human mAbs against MRSA. The project is also being funded by a $600,000 STTR Phase I grant from the NIAID. The second year's tranche of $300,000 was received at the beginning of July.

These Videogame Sites Are for 'Mature' Audiences Only
Geezers Play the Senior Leagues to Avoid Young Guns; Minimum Age for 2old2play Is 25
When Thomas Abel gets home from a stressful day at work, the 43-year-old airplane mechanic likes to let off steam by playing videogames.
But he doesn't like to play against kids. He says they spout mom jokes and infantile nonsense during online matches on Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT 0.35 % Xbox 360 system, which allows players to form teams and battle one another over the Internet.
So Mr. Abel retreats to a safe haven where he knows he can find suitably mature joystick companions: a website he helped found called Geezergamers.com, where players meet on forums with names like "Get off my lawn."
"You get these 12-year-old kids swearing and being obnoxious online," says Mr. Abel, a father of two from Detroit. "You wonder where their parents are."
Communities of graying gamers have sprouted up world-wide as generations reared on Pong and Pac-Man have become addicted to the latest iterations of Halo and Call of Duty, but are no longer as fast with their trigger fingers. So they are extending their playing days in virtual versions of the senior leagues.
Mature gamers meet up on websites with names such as 2old2play.com, which are typically supported by donations and advertising, because they prefer to play with people of a certain age. But occasionally, senior teams also test their mettle against the hordes of young guns on public Internet servers—even if it ends badly. Mr. Abel says he is still stinging from an especially harsh beat-down at the hands of "some 12-year-old girls from Japan" in a giant-robot game called Chromehounds.
"It seems these kids today are pretty much living on Xbox," he offers by way of excuse. "I have to work and spend time with my family."
Yet the oldsters sometimes prevail, thanks to seasoned marksmen like Ralph Atkinson, a 77-year-old retired butcher from Melbourne, Australia, who fulfilled his national military service obligation more than a half century ago.
Part of an online society called The Older Gamers that has 57,000 members world-wide, he shreds competitors in the online shooting game Battlefield 3 under the alias Claw—a reference to the signature move of a 1950s-era pro wrestler, Killer Kowalski.
"When I win I let them know: You just got your butt kicked by a pensioner," says Mr. Atkinson, who used to play with his son but laments that "he's in business, he's gotten too busy."
Older gamers say their subculture reflects the evolution of videogames from child's play to mainstream hobby. The average age of U.S. game players is now 30, according to the Entertainment Software Association, and the average age of frequent game buyers is 35.
"There is still a stigma associated with this pastime," says Stefaan de Keersmaeker, a 41-year-old information-technology expert from Melbourne, who founded The Older Gamers because he "got fed up with all the juvenile behavior" from younger players online. "It is very hard to explain to some people, but it's not all kid's play anymore."
Many of the more mature groups include actual clans: organized players who regularly meet up at set times and take competition seriously. But most are casual forums for police officers and lawyers to show they've still got game. The groups also provide a setting where they can wax nostalgic about the heroic feats of their youth, say, beating the Mother Brain monster at the end of the original 1980s Nintendo game Metroid—with someone who understands what they are talking about.
A commonly held belief among older gamers is that videogames are less challenging than in the old days, when the games took months to complete. Players had to map out their progress in virtual worlds on sheets of graph paper, or write down lengthy passwords to save games.
"Kids today have it easy," says Joel Albert, a 33-year-old web developer from Chicago who co-founded 2old2play.com seven years ago. "It was definitely tougher for our generation."
The 2old2play community, whose minimum age is 25, says it carefully screens applicants for "squeaky voices" and other telltale signs of adolescence. It has helped adult gamers find friendship and, in a few cases, love. The other founder of 2old2play.com, Derek Nolan, a 39-year-old software programmer from Massachusetts, is now engaged to the site's editor, Tiffany Fary.
She helps line up reviews of whether new games are appropriate for children as well as parents, and pens editorials on sensitive topics, such as coping with the awkwardness of being the old dude at the midnight launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
The couple met at a convention where she was representing a group of women gamers who call themselves the PMS Clan. They bonded over their love of Halo, which pits a tough-guy space soldier against hordes of aliens. Now they have four children from their prior relationships—and five Xboxes in their home.
"She is as much of a Halo gamer as I am, which goes against the stereotype for the women gamers," Mr. Nolan says with pride. "We have commonalities."
Halo, an FPS (or first-person shooter) game, "played a huge role in our courtship," Ms. Fary agrees. "In 2old2play, you find people who also have husbands and children, and who understand you can no longer stay up all night playing an FPS because you have to work the next morning."
The 2old2play crew likes to boast it can still hang tough in online competition against younger folks. But its players have learned that there are limitations to what they can accomplish.
Some of the group's top guns tried their hand at Major League Gaming, a North American professional videogame league, where elite players compete in tournaments for tens of thousands of dollars in prize money. The results were humiliating.
"We kind of got our a— kicked" in Halo 2 by teenage players, Mr. Nolan admits. The denizens of 2old2play, he says, plan to stick to the amateur circuit from now on.

Wow... that's a lot of miles!
Sue came into our Ontario branch dreaming of a new car and wanted to get an auto loan. She told us that she wanted to retire her trusty 2001 Toyota 4Runner that just hit 465,000 miles! Amazing, isn't it? It was obvious that Sue is a loyal driver, and needed another sturdy vehicle to take her on future adventures.
Sue had her eye on a 2011 Jeep Patriot, but didn't know much about them, so we offered to set up an appointment for her to test drive one. She jumped at the chance, and returned pleasantly surprised. She loved the performance of the vehicle and all the nifty new features. Sue picked out the color she wanted and we made a phone call to have it delivered. She was so happy with her CU at the Wheel experience that she referred her brother before even taking delivery of her own new car.
In Sue's own words:
"Thank you for assisting me with my car purchase. I had no idea that SCE FCU had this service. I already told my brother and my fellow co-workers about CU at the Wheel. I want to thank you for all your hard work. I will never buy a car any other way. This was so easy and I got exactly what I wanted."

His district is the DC area--why does he need more for housing?--he can live at home even when he's in DC for work, unlike most of the rest of them.

In 1999, Moran drew attention for taking personal loans from a friend who was a drug-company lobbyist. He got another loan three years later from the co-founder of America Online. The Washington Post reported in 2002 that Moran received favorable terms on a home-refinancing package from MBNA as he backed a bankruptcy reform bill supported by the credit card industry. Moran was not charged with wrongdoing in those instances.
Now you know why Moran is trying to rip us off!
The guy is a weasel and loved by his constituents. Moran's district, which includes Arlington County, Alexandria, Falls Church and a portion of Fairfax County, is overwhelmingly Democratic, delivering 68 percent of the vote to President Obama in 2012.
Sorry Ladybug, I know you don't want politics in this but this weasel's actions is why we ALL get screwed over. He is looking out for his own interests and not ours.

In 1999, his second wife — Moran has divorced three times — called police after a domestic dispute, although no charges were filed. The next year, Moran got into a heated argument with an 8-year-old boy whom Moran accused of trying to steal his car keys; the incident made national news.
Moran has also had personal financial troubles. A former stockbroker, Moran lost roughly $120,000 from trades and bad investments in the mid-1990s and went into significant debt. During their divorce, his second wife accused him in court papers of "wasting the family assets on his stock market gambling."
Moran was an active trader again in the mid-2000s, with assets owned by his wealthy third wife. After their 2010 separation and eventual divorce, his financial situation changed significantly. His most recent financial disclosure report, covering 2012, shows him to be one of the least wealthy members of Congress, with no assets other than a money-market account worth $15,000 or less.

A small man or a man with a small "Mc"penis.
Beau's penis was sooo small that he couldn't please a woman. He was said to have Mcminn, a rare disease. It originates from the "Mc" in McDonalds small sandwiches. And the "minn" use to be "man." Hence a small man.

5 Ways Methamphetamine Can Make You a New Person
At any point of any day, I could call Bill, and he'd be right there to pick up. It didn't matter if it was four in the afternoon or four in the morning. While you always find "insomnia" listed among the symptoms of meth abuse, that's a ridiculous way to describe it. I've had insomnia before -- tossing and turning for a night before getting a few fitful hours of sleep. Comparing that to what a motivated meth addict can do is like saying me and an elephant can both "poop a lot."
Though I could probably take the little guy in a fair match.
Meth let Bill stay up for days on end -- we're talking three or four days straight at times. Which is much needed energy when you're spending your days and nights cooking up more meth. I'm assuming it's not something you can just walk away from while it simmers, like chili. You know, because of the explosions.
Of course the body still wants to shut down, and after a couple of days, the lack of sleep starts to fuck with your mind (if you stay awake long enough, you start to have hallucinations). But that's an easy fix. Bill could just stop taking meth, and he'd sleep like a corpse for a full 24 hours. An entire day that could have been bad just up and vanishes.
But then you have to make your bed, so it's not without drawbacks.
But think of all the things you could get done in three days if you didn't have to sleep. You could watch Die Hard 40 times in a row. You could teach your kids how to make meth so they can carry on the family business. You could go back to college and have the entire semester's work finished in a week flat. Let's see you try that without meth. I'm actually surprised more meth users haven't become captains of industry.
Or maybe I'm just giving people too much credit.
Well, maybe the problem is the drug-induced schizophrenia ...
It Can Last Forever
It's suggested by some doctors that after doing so much methamphetamine, the chemicals pull of this neat little trick where they go into the part of the brain where schizophrenia manifests itself and flips it on like a fucking light. Then, it promptly breaks off the switch and throws it into a nearby lake so you can't turn it back off. Others claim that it's not true schizophrenia, but simply a mirror image of the symptoms. In other words, it's the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" of being batshit fucking crazy.
Either way, one thing they all agree on is that the symptoms can last for a year or more, even after you've quit using the drug.
That's right. Meth can chase your ass right through an inspirational "getting clean" story.
And we're not talking about simple nervous paranoia here, afraid that the cops are everywhere. We're talking about full on hallucinations, hearing voices in the walls, constant feelings of being watched or chased. Oh, and it's often untreatable.
Just ask Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys.
But that's a good thing, right? The paranoia kept him on his toes. And he needed to constantly be in that state of mind if he was going to avoid prison. Fortunately for Bill, he (hypothetically) hung himself in his garage long before the cops ever busted him.
There were no doubt other factors, but there is also no doubt that meth helped him get there. Or rather, I should say quitting meth helped him get there. The drug commonly burns out the system that produces dopamine and norepinephrine, making it impossible for the user to feel any sort of pleasure unless they use. So when Bill attempted to quit, and crushing depression washed over him, he felt it was better to just check out early than to live with that monster.
