The Wall Impacts Oskaloosa
Oskaloosa, Iowa – Vietnam Vets upon arriving home from the battlefield found great controversy and often a hostile environment towards them. It's a new day and time when the population appreciates the sacrifices made by the men and women in uniform.
With the thunder of motorcycle pipes and the flashing lights of law enforcement squads, the half-scale "Wall That Heals" was escorted into Oskaloosa on Tuesday afternoon, July 1st.
In an opening ceremony held on July 2nd, on the grounds of the Southern Iowa Fair, the re-assembled wall was honored by an opening ceremony that featured Gen. Tommy Franks (Ret.) as the keynote speaker. Franks' last Army post was as the Commander of the U.S. Central Command, overseeing U.S. military operations in a 25-country region, including the Middle East. Franks retired on July 7, 2003.
Franks served a tour in Vietnam in 1967, as a young officer fresh from Artillery School. Franks enlisted in the Army in 1965 where he attended basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. Private First Class Franks was selected to attend the Artillery and Missile Officer Candidate School in Fort Sill, Oklahoma. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in 1967 and was assigned to Vietnam as part of the US 9th Infantry Division, 4th Field Artillery.
During his speech Franks noted the wall and the more than fifty-eight-thousand that gave their lives in service to their country. "It's always amazed me. For a nation that loves peace, and we are that nation, a nation that loves peace… in our history, we've never had a generation without a war."
Franks remembered all of the wars, and those that fought in them, that came before the Vietnam War. "They were, as our veterans today are, sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. Each of them swore a solemn oath, as a fighting man, to guard America, my country, and our way of life. To be prepared to give their life in her defense. To be prepared to give their lives in her defense. Fifty-eight-thousand names on that wall. An unlimited liability contract. Freedom is not free."
Franks said that, the day we forget "those who have given their lives for our country, we are surely doomed to lose it [freedom]."
During the days the wall was in place at the Southern Iowa Fairgrounds, brothers, sisters, friends, moms and dads of those who served and had fallen during that bloody decade in American history found their way to the wall. Some placing a beer near their loved one's name, in a last toast. Flowers and pictures popped up overnight as they came and wept and remembered the sacrifice made.
Carl Drost is a Vietnam Veteran who served his country in Vietnam in 1971, and was instrumental in helping "The Wall" return to Oskaloosa.
An emotional Drost spoke about The Wall and its impact on the community. "As a Vietnam Veteran, you can't go to The Wall without feeling emotionally involved because, as I've tried telling my friends, until you've worn the uniform and been in a situation like this, nobody can understand. That's not being critical of anybody that didn't serve, it's just that Vietnam was a unique place, in a unique time."
"Everybody's name on the wall died to protect the freedoms of Americans. At least that's what we believe we were doing," said Drost.
Drost said that he wanted everything to go "just right" for "The Wall" and its return to Oskaloosa. "The Wall" is to be set up in a solemn place, which Drost said that corner of the fairgrounds is. Drost worried about the races, and bounce houses, and fireworks, since "The Wall was to be in a solemn place. "But then I watched the people come to the wall. My first reaction was a detriment, it really turned out to be a good thing for the weekend."
"In my opinion, things worked out really well," Drost said.
As the sun began to set over "The Wall" one last time in Oskaloosa, dignitaries shared their final thoughts about the wall. The American Legion closed the ceremony with a 21 gun salute, to honor all those who fell.
With darkness came a lingering crowd, and the lights came on one last time over The Wall in Oskaloosa.
Along with the departure of the wall, is the truck tasked with hauling it. The truck's load was a bit heavier as they carried away a bit more of the sadness area residents left upon The Wall.Print this ad for $10 off your next oil change

TAMPA — Elizabeth Lockwood knew that nothing could bring back her husband after he was hit by a car and killed in April.
But that didn't quench her desire for something — an apology, an explanation, a mirror to her suffering.
So she sat in a courtroom on Aug. 2, holding a framed photo of 58-year-old Glen Lockwood and waited to hear what Myrline Gourdet-Numa had to say.
Gourdet-Numa pleaded no contest to a careless driving citation. A judge enumerated her penalties. Then she left.
"It was like we weren't even there," said Elizabeth Lockwood, 59, Glen's wife of 23 years and director of operations for the South Florida Wildlife Center. "It was a slap in the face."
• • •
On April 10, Glen Lockwood drove to 9942 Peninsular Drive in Gibsonton, as he had done several times before, to inspect the dock that Michael DiGiovanni was building from scratch.
The project was chugging along. And as a Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission employee, Lockwood had to make sure it wasn't harmful to the canal.
Lockwood and DiGiovanni were standing in the driveway, behind Lockwood's county pickup truck, inspecting documents when the unimaginable happened.
Myrline Gourdet-Numa, 32, drove her car off the roadway, through a yard and into DiGiovanni's driveway, striking Lockwood's truck. According to the official crash report, the force of the collision pushed the truck, slamming it into both men and throwing them to the ground.
When Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies arrived, they saw Gourdet-Numa running in circles, they said. They described her as "distraught, panicked and hysterical."
She told Detective John C. Graves that she had been driving down the road when all of a sudden she looked up and saw the men standing on the other side of the county truck. It was too late. She couldn't stop the crash. She couldn't explain why she went off the road or what happened during the seconds before the impact.
After weeks at a lab, drug and alcohol tests of Gourdet-Numa's blood confirmed that she was sober at the time. Graves issued her a careless driving citation.
Lockwood died the next day, the day before his 59th birthday.
DiGiovanni suffered a brain injury and spent six days in the hospital before being discharged, said his wife, Mary DiGiovanni, 53.
"He's still suffering a lot," Mary DiGiovanni said. "He has survivor's guilt because he's still here. He thought of Glen as a friend because they had been working together on the dock."
• • •
Myrline Gourdet-Numa said she doesn't speak much English, but she had clear memories of that day in April. She told her cousin Jude Gourdet-Numa, 66, who acted as her interpreter in court, that after the crash she saw both DiGiovanni and Lockwood get up. Jude Gourdet-Numa said the man who had been driving the truck asked her why she had hit it.
"There weren't any serious injuries at that time. They both got up," he said. "How could she know someone died after that?"
Both said the Sheriff's Office never told them.
• • •
The citation was issued a month after the crash. More serious charges would not be warranted, legal experts said.
"For manslaughter, there has to be some sort of recklessness, or negligence plus something else," said Delano Stewart, a lawyer who has practiced in Florida for 47 years. "If she had run a light or been under the influence, then manslaughter would have fit."
Stewart also said that because it's unclear what caused the crash — such as whether Gourdet-Numa blacked out or had a medical condition — culpable negligence cannot be found.
Mary DiGiovanni said financial recourse is also limited. Gourdet-Numa is a Haitian immigrant and Walmart employee working an overnight shift.
"We're really not sure what to do," Mary DiGiovanni said. "And I'm dumbfounded to be hit with this kind of problem. It's becoming a really big struggle for us."
Her husband recently returned to work as a contract coordinator for Rooms To Go, limited to six hours a day.
"He's in constant pain. The swelling in his brain isn't expected to go down for at least a year," she said. "Then we'll get to see if there was permanent damage."
Elizabeth Lockwood said she understood when Detective Graves told her about Gourdet-Numa's citation. "An accident is an accident," she said.
But it still hurt that the crash happened to her husband.
"He was just doing his job."
• • •
During the brief Aug. 2 hearing, detectives could see that Lockwood and the DiGiovannis were getting visibly upset.
"They asked us to step outside so we wouldn't be held in contempt," Mary DiGiovanni said.
Gourdet-Numa was fined $1,093 and ordered to traffic school, according to the Hillsborough County Clerk of the Circuit Court's Office. No addendum was made to her driving record. No revocation of her license. No recommendation for a medical checkup.
"The judge didn't even acknowledge that the accident involved a death," Elizabeth Lockwood said.
In the hallway, the women and Michael DiGiovanni approached Gourdet-Numa and her interpreter. They asked her to look at the photo of Lockwood.
Michael DiGiovanni asked whether she was sorry for what happened. After a prompt from the interpreter, Gourdet-Numa said, "I'm sorry."
Jude Gourdet-Numa said that was the first time his cousin had heard about a death. She hadn't apologized earlier because of a Haitian custom, he said.
"In Haiti, if you go to someone's family to apologize for something like this, they kill you," he said. "The (detective) in his judgment saw that it was not a big case. He didn't give the citation for 30 days because there was no need for it until after the death."
After four months of waiting to hear from her, it wasn't enough for Elizabeth Lockwood.
"She could have taken that time to offer apologies," Elizabeth Lockwood said, "but she didn't even seem remorseful."

Obama: The Race against Race
The following is an article by Les Leopold, director of the Labor Institute and the Public Institute, and author of The Man Who Hated Work and Loved Labor: The Life and Times of Tony Mazzocchi.
Barack Obama's jubilant supporters, both black and white, have begun chanting, "Race Doesn't Matter! Race Doesn't Matter!"
But does it even exist?
Obama tends to avoid the word, "race." And for good reason. Not only does he not want to be marginalized as the "black" candidate, but he knows the word conjures up a cacophony of images and emotions.
For some it describes a distinct and separate culture; for others an ethnicity—like Jews or Hispanics. But for many, whether consciously or not, it also signifies biology—the notion that, by birth, there is something fundamentally different that distinguishes African-Americans from "white" people.
This thread of biology also runs through Webster's definitions of race—words like "breeding", "stock", "interbreeding", "species", and "physical traits" – all suggesting a separate category of humans. More than a few Americans still believe that because of biology we are not meant to mate and mix. For some they claim it to be a biblical truth. (Only about 5 percent of marriages in America are mixed and that number has remained stable for decades.)
Every effort to define African-American/Black/Negro (or Asian or Hispanic or Native American), as distinct biological entities has failed miserably. And there have been many efforts to measure and classify and investigate all the nooks and crannies of our physiology and psychology. The dominant Anglo culture for generations wanted to prove that those with darker pigmentation or Asiatic features were inferior and therefore should be ruled and subjugated by Western Europeans. The eugenics movement in the early 20th century constructed an elaborate hierarchy that not only classified African-Americans as a distinct race, but also "proved" that Native Americans, Jews, southern Italians, Poles, Asians, and other poorer immigrant groups comprised inferior "races." Elaborate ladders were created that lined up these races one by one leading right up to their natural rulers—Anglo-Saxons.
The Nazi's built upon this "science" in their effort to justify that the "Aryan" race —another concoction—was the ultimate master race, with the right to rule, and even eliminate inferior races, especially the Jewish "race". But even the Nazis had a tough time clearly defining a Jew as a separate biological species. In the infamous 1935 Nuremberg decrees they created confusion with a set of charts that mixed family and religious practice: a "full" Jew had to have three or four Jewish grandparents or be part of a Jewish religious community. But you also were a Jew if you married a "full" Jew or were a child of one.
After the Holocaust thoroughly discredited eugenics, the notion that Jews were a distinct race passed from mainstream culture. Today, no serious journalist would dare refer to the "Jewish race." Then why is it used so freely in reference to African-Americans?
Obama may be avoiding the word also because he knows how it inevitably leads to question of blood. In the Jim Crow South the "one drop rule" defined who was black. Courts have referred to the "traceable amount rule" —one proven African American ancestor would do the trick. Today, this indeed is a trick given that the most recent scientific consensus based on DNA evidence demonstrates that "all modern humans stem from a single group of Homo sapiens who emigrated from Africa 2,000 generations ago…" (Science Daily, May 5, 2007.) Biologically speaking we're all black.
It is enough to say that Obama is African-American or black. He is black, not because of a drop of blood or the number of black ancestors or because his skin color is slighter darker that many (but not all) "whites." He is African-American because American society has defined him as such.
Even when we say, and sincerely believe, that "all races are equal" we reinforce, for too many, the idea of biological difference, when in fact, there is none except how our culture has decided to view superficial physical characteristics.
Nature doesn't create a black race, we do.
Being more sensitive to our haphazard use of the word "race" will not end racism: the very real discrimination against a group that the dominant society has defined as "other." But by being more thoughtful about the word, we can help undermine the idea that that "race" as a biological category really exists.
Obama has given us a good working definition of black: He says he knows he's black when he tries to hail a cab that out of fear passes him by. But he is many other things— husband, father, intellectual, community activist, ambitious politician, and charismatic leader. Hopefully, by the end of his campaign, no matter the result, his multi-dimensional humanity will help us see there is only one biological race—the human race.

Stay out of the kitchen! ... Pickleball fun, but rules a little confusing
Everywhere I went, people with these funny-looking paddles said the same thing.
"Pickleball is addictive."
"Once you start, you'll never want to give it up."
I'm not sure if it was appealing or scary, but I knew I had to try the crack cocaine of recreational sports to see just how addictive it really is.
Most everything about the game is a little odd. From the strange "clop" sound that comes from the paddle smacking the long-lost cousin of the whiffle ball, to the court, to the rules, it all intrigued me.
In a way, the game seems like what tennis would be if Paul Bunyan and the Jolly Green Giant squared off on a court.
Pickleball is played on a court a little smaller than half of a tennis court. The small court is a huge appeal to many.
It's a great game for older people who still want to be active.
As someone said during a recent pickleball clinic: "The tennis court just got too big for me."
But it's still a game of movement, quick reflexes and exertion. It's just not as intense as tennis and a lot less running and movement.
It's like playing pingpong if you could stand on the table.
I love the fact this game was born out of boredom and evolved as a backyard game, where it seems rules were just made up on the fly.
Rules are another odd part of the game.
As I listened to experts explain the rules, I felt my eyes starting to glaze over. I guessed it was probably easier for a pilot to explain how to land a jet plane to a hermit.
Like a demented cook who throws together ingredients willy-nilly, this odd game is a combination of a bunch of different games blended together.
Combine tennis, racquetball, handball, badminton, pingpong and the irritation of golf — and you have pickleball.
The first thing I realized is the stupid pickleball ball bounces like a quarter.
That takes some getting used to, but after a few whiffs, I got the hang of it.
OK, let's talk about the rules. Some of these rules are just too weird to try to explain, but here are the basics.
In doubles, each partner gets to serve before the ball goes to the other team — but wait! Except on the first point of the match. That's when only one person serves, and when he or she loses the serve it goes to the opponents.
Weird, but whatever. Also, you can only score points on the serve.
Let's talk about the score. "Two-three-two," someone calls out. Another game, the server calls out, "Five-two-two." Then there was a "nine-two-one."
Now, I've played a lot of sports and games over the years, but I've never heard of an imaginary third opponent getting points.
Let me explain. The first number is the serving team's score; the second number is the opponent's score. Simple enough. Now, in every arena I know except pickleball, that's where it would end. But no, in pickleball the server also calls out what server they are — No. 1 or 2. That's why there's three numbers.
Let's move on to the playing rules.
The ball, which has very little bounce, must bounce twice — one time on each side — before you get to bash the little round thing directly in the air. Get it? Return serve is one bounce, then the return of that shot is the second bounce. Then it's smash city.
The game goes to 11 points, and you must win by two.
The game gets pretty interesting when all four players are at the net, popping and dinking the ball back and forth.
But wait, here's another rule: You can't be all the way at the net. The no-volley zone is something called the "kitchen." It's a small area a couple of feet in front of the net that keeps players from getting too close.
As I learned the game during the recent clinic, I had a hard time not venturing into the kitchen. It felt like I was at my ex-mother-in-law's house for Thanksgiving.
"Get out of the kitchen!" "Don't go into the kitchen!" "Hey, dummy, why can't you stay out of the kitchen?"
Probably the simplest rule of the game — stay out of the kitchen — but it didn't come easy to me.
Time and time again I ran to the net, pounded the pickleball ball with an overhead smash only to have everyone staring at me. The only thing missing were the hands on hips and the tapping of a toe or two.
But after a little while, I finally managed to stay out of the kitchen, and I was cooking pickleball style.
A fun game, I must say.
It's fast-paced with a premium on reaction time and shot making.
I didn't find the game too hard to pick up, after mastering the stay-out-of-the-kitchen rule, and I think most people pick it up quickly, so the learning curve isn't too difficult.
There are so many appealing things about the game, including the social aspect. Most of the time, players rarely play with the same partner, so you have a different playing partner many times.
I don't see the game ever making it into the Olympics, nor do I think it should. But it's a fun game in which strategy, a little athleticism and shot making are required to be successful.
But addictive? I'll have to wait to see and play it a few more times.
It's an odd game but a fun game. And, of course, a very weird name with even weirder rules.
I was just a little disappointed that only a ball and no pickles were served at the clinic.

The Obama administration and its allies are struggling to find a safe place to store Syria's chemical weapons after they've been shipped out of the country, raising new questions about when the U.S. military will actually begin destroying the deadly munitions.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has set an ambitious Dec. 31 deadline for Syria to hand over the deadliest of its chemical armaments, which are supposed to be packed into roughly 150 shipping containers, driven to the Syrian port city of Latakia, loaded onto Norwegian and Danish cargo ships and then transported to a location outside of Syria. Once there, they will be transferred to an American vessel called the Cape Ray for destruction. Senior American defense officials stressed Thursday that the Cape Ray itself won't dock at Latakia and that no U.S. personnel would set foot in Syria.
That, at least, is how the plan is supposed to work in theory. In practice, the effort faces an array of technical, diplomatic, security, and financial challenges. The disposal equipment being installed onto the Cape Ray has never been tested at sea, and it's not clear that it will be capable of operating continuously for months without breaking down. The U.S. and its allies will also need to find a way of ensuring that none of the weapons are stolen or damaged on their way to the Cape Ray or during the actual destruction work. To say it will be a challenge is the grossest of understatements.
"I know we have a deadline in three weeks but the operations have not yet started," said one diplomat familiar with the U.N.'s internal discussions. "It's never going to happen."
The Obama administration's more immediate task is to find an allied government willing to allow the ship from Latakia to land at one its ports and unload the weapons before they're transferred to the Cape Ray. It would take roughly two days to load the weapons onto the American vessel, which means they'd need to be stored at the port temporarily, posing a potential security risk to the host country. Not surprisingly, it's been hard to convince a government to let a weapons-laden cargo ship unload at one of its ports. That makes it highly unlikely that the U.S. and its allies will be able to meet the Dec. 31 deadline, set by the OPCW, to remove Syria's chemical arsenal.
Washington recently informed one ally that it was considering using a port servicing a U.S. naval base in Naples, Italy. Talks are also underway with Morocco and Spain to see whether the materials could be unloaded there. Sigrid Kaag, the Dutch head of a joint mission of experts from the United Nations and the OPCW overseeing the elimination of Syria's chemical weapons, said she wouldn't speculate about whether the armaments would be transferred to American custody in a Mediterranean port. Pentagon officials said negotiations with foreign governments were ongoing but declined to comment on which countries could ultimately take the weapons before they were transferred to the Cape Ray.
There's also considerable uncertainty about how the materials will get to Latakia in the first place. The U.S. and other Western powers responded coolly to a Syrian request for armored vehicles and other protective equipment Damascus claimed it needed to carry out a successful operation. In a November 15 letter to the Security Council, Kaag said that Syria would have to reach out to friendly countries for assistance in securing the route. Russia, one of Syria's closest diplomatic allies, is looking into the possibility of supplying up to 200 trucks to transport the materials. A spokesman for the OPCW, Christian Chartier, said Kaag was trying to act as a "go between" to encourage other states to help Syria with its security needs.
Renewed combat along the route to the port city poses another challenge. During a recent visit to Syria, Kaag told the U.N. Security Council in a closed-door briefing, she was not able to reach Latakia by the main road from Homs — a key hub on the chemical weapons route — because of fighting, forcing her to travel by helicopter from Beirut.
"It's a main artery, as you know. If we cannot travel there, it's a real issue," said Kaag, who is required to travel in the region with a Romanian close protection detail. Kaag insisted that the mission was "all very manageable," but conceded she could not certain it would go smoothly.
"I'm not aware that this operation has ever been carried out in this way," she said.
Sending the chemical weapons out of Syria marks the most dangerous, and the most expensive phase of a landmark Sept. 14 pact between U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov calling for the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons program by the middle of 2014. (Merely destroying the waste products could cost an estimated 35 to 40 million Euros; the full cost of transporting the armaments out of Syria and destroying them is likely to be exponentially higher).
The accord — which averted a U.S. strike against Syria in retaliation for using sarin to kill hundreds of its own civilians in late August — has proceeded smoothly. On October, 31, Syria effectively destroyed its declared chemical weapons production facilities and mixing and filling plants, the OPCW confirmed.
The U.N. has said the chemical weapons should be packed for transport by Dec. 13 and then moved out of Syria altogether by Dec. 31. A senior U.S. defense official called that timeline "ambitious," but expressed confidence that it could be met. The destruction efforts would begin aboard the Cape Ray in early January.
Senior defense officials said it would take 45-90 days to turn the weapons into non-harmful waste using two of the so-called "Field Deployable Hydrolysis Systems" that are being installed in the Cape Ray's cargo holds. The equipment will operate inside of a sealed tent to prevent any of the chemical agents from being accidentally dispersed while they're being turned into waste. The resulting sludge, in turn, will be brought to a commercial destruction facility elsewhere in the world and then incinerated.
Beyond the difficulty in finding a port where the weapons can be unloaded, U.N.-based diplomats say the United States has also been unable to help secure sufficient funding to hire companies to dispose of the toxic waste products.
"The U.S. or Paris can say that we need to make the deadline but will they ensure they can make it possible?" another official asked, adding that governments "have to be realistic and feasible about the deadlines they impose."
As of Nov. 30, 35 companies had submitted expressions of interest in securing a contract to collect the waste product from the United States and transfer it to a facility for incineration. But OPCW officials noted that there isn't enough money in a trust fund established for the destruction of Syria's chemical weapons to put out formal requests for bids from the firms.
"What I know is that what we have by now is just not enough; it's far away from being enough," said Chartier, the organization's spokesman. "We need to be certain of our financial commitments in order to start the tender process."

Does over farming lead to desertification?
- Asked By Ashlynn
- Asked on March 26, 2010
0 Votes
It can. Overfarming causes the soil to lose its nutrients, so the plants growing there die. With no plants to help make the soil fertile and hold on to the top soil, the soil continues to degradeby deteriorating in mineral content and blowing away with the wind. As this process happens, it slowly become more desert like – with very little water or mineral content – eventually becoming unusable for agriculture. However, other factors such as demand and weather trends can also affect both overfarming and desertification.
0 Votes
Yes, often. Desertification is the process of land in dry semi-arid environments degrading and losing vegetation and soil moisture. Over-cultivation is one common cause of this; another is overgrazing, which may be more common because the lands turning to deserts are often better suited for animal grazing rather than outright agriculture. Either way, the key issue is the removal of groundwater. Crops can soak up groundwater as much or more than human communities that tax water tables for drinking water. Livestock on ranchland or farms also compress the soil with their hooves, thus reducing the percolation rate of the soil and promoting its drying out. One of the most dramatic examples of over-cultivation resulting in desertification occurred in the 1930s in the United States, the infamous "Dust Bowl" where overuse of arable land combined with droughts to turn former prairie lands into arid wastelands. Much of those lands bounced back eventually but it took time–and lots of irrigation.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Wokingham, Berkshire, United Kingdom, 2014/11/07 - For use for physical access control, the Two-Door Lock Manager supports one or two doors, up to four readers and two electric locks - BorerDataSystems.co.uk.
The size of a mobile phone, the Two-Door Lock Manager has a small footprint and is designed to be mounted on the secure side of the door. It combines both a power supply and door controller in a single panel.
The operating modes supported include:
1. Two door control each with IN and OUT readers and two electric locks.
2. Single door control with IN and OUT readers, electric lock and audible alarm or alarm circuit shunt output.
3. Airlock/Interlock/Mantrap control sequencing two doors, only permitting one at a time to be opened.
4. Locker or cabinet management enabling one reader to selectively control access to many doors.
Power over CAT5e/6 technology powers equipment where it is inconvenient, expensive or not
possible to provide a mains power outlet to the door. It provides both power and data to devices including smartcard readers, biometrics readers and door controllers over CAT5e/6 cable.
This solution requires two components; a Midspan Bridge at the source that injects power into a standard CAT5e/6 cable system without affecting the data and a Lock Manager at the destination that splits power and data for delivery to local devices.
The power management chipset employed (IEEE 802.3 PoE plus standard), is designed for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, providing protection against short circuit, polarity reversal and the accidental connection of PoE non-compliant equipment.
The removal of unnecessary equipment together with a low energy profile delivers a Cleaner, Leaner and Greener solution, reducing the cost of ownership.

Resilient Flooring
Vinyl floor coverings are durable and suitable for any room in the house. You'll find vinyl available as sheets or tiles in two categories:
- Rotogravure vinyl features a knobby texture as well as pattern and color printed on the finish side only. This knobby texture can be difficult to clean.
- Inlaid vinyl features pattern and color through the thickness of the material. It's typically much more durable than rotogravure vinyl and will look good and last for many years.
Sheet vinyl is a popular choice for bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, entryways, hallways, and rec rooms. It comes in many patterns and styles. Vinyl tiles can be used in many of the same applications; however, dirt-collecting seams can make a vinyl tile floor difficult to keep clean. The multiple seams can also allow liquid spills to filter between tiles, loosen them, and damage the subfloor.
Stone look-alike vinyl is affordably priced and can be found in home centers and flooring stores. A hexagon-like pattern mimics the look of stone and disguises dust and footprints.
You can also find vinyl that resembles wood in home centers and flooring stores. It feels softer underfoot than wood but is appropriate for use in baths and other moisture-prone areas.Linoleum
Made from organic materials linoleum is known for its bright colors and long wear. Extremely popular in the 1950s, its earth-friendly, nonallergenic nature is making it a popular choice again.Pro Tip: Chlorine
Don't buy resilient flooring if the room where you are installing it will encounter foot traffic from a chlorinated swimming pool; chlorine can ruin the flooring.

Frost & Sullivan's Gruia also points to the emergence of companies like RPX ( RPXC), which offers "defensive patent buying" and "patent intelligence" on behalf of a growing number of tech companies, including Intel, Sony ( SNE), Research In Motion ( RIMM), Nokia and Juniper ( JNPR). RPX, based in San Francisco, went public last month, and Gruia says it and fellow patent specialist Acacia Research Group, part of Acacia Research Corp. ( ACTG), reflect a bigger trend. "It's interesting, because this market barely existed 10 years ago," said the analyst, noting that the so-called invention capital market is growing at a rate of 25% to 30% a year. RPX is said to be involved in the Nortel auction, but the company declined to comment when contacted by TheStreet. As for Apple's ongoing patent battle with Samsung, General Patent Corp.'s Poltorak said that he would be amazed if the companies end up in front of a judge -- Apple is one of the Korean firm's biggest customers. "They can't afford to ruin that business relationship; it's symbiotic, it benefits both companies," he said, adding that the firms are indulging in some old-fashioned strategic bravado. "Both companies are positioning, they are posturing to get the best cross-licensing deal." --Written by James Rogers in New York.

Microsoft uses Google privacy gaffe to lure Safari users
Recommends that they switch to Bing
SOFTWARE HOUSE Microsoft is using the fine levied against Google for its Safari privacy gaffe to tempt Safari users to use Bing.
The firm has added a 'Privacy Protection' page to its Bing website, and there it reminds anyone that will listen that earlier this year Google was fined $22.5m by the FTC.
Google was tracking Safari users through what it called a mistake. It was fined a relatively small amount and promised not to do it again.
This was a while ago, but if you are Microsoft and are keen to get people to use your Google alternative, well, things like that don't matter.
"If you are a Safari user, Google may have recently tracked you even though it promised it would not. Want to do something about it?," says the splash on the Bing webpage.
"Stop searching with Google and start searching with Bing. Better yet, make Bing your homepage and start every search with Bing."
In a cheeky move Microsoft has added a big, orange "Try Bing" button. Clicking that launches a search about Google, Safari and the FTC fine.
Earlier this month Microsoft started what it calls "Bing it on". This sees it ask punters to pit a Bing search against a Google search. It reckons that Bing results will be faster and more accurate and is willing to give people a free Xbox or equivalent hardware prize if it is proven wrong. µ

Trevor Colden, 'super-psyched'
It's not surprising that 17-year-old Trevor Colden sounds elated when answering our questions. After all, whether it's joining blue chip teams such as Mystery and Emerica or winning the consequential Tampa Am contest, Colden's rise has been meteoritic.
What is somewhat surprising is Colden's humility. Clearly, glory has not gone to his head. The Virginia Beach native comes across as a nice kid who just happens to be one of the best amateur skateboarders in the world.
In this interview the affable adolescent, who now resides in Encinitas, Calif., shares thoughts on his Tampa Am victory, bass fishing, as well as his un-self-conscious love of Tyler Perry films.
ESPN.com: Last year was a fairly epic year for you. You had a well-received welcome video from Mystery. You joined the Emerica team. Then, of course, you won Tampa Am. From the outside it looks like you have achieved every skateboarder's dream. How do you feel about last year?
Colden: I don't know. Everything happened so fast. I am so thankful for it. I am super-psyched for everything that happened and how it happened so quickly. I can't even really describe it.
ESPN.com: Was there any downside?
Colden: There is absolutely no downside. But the only downside to it is, probably, being so far away from my family.
ESPN.com: Could you describe the moment when they announced you'd won Tampa Am?
Colden: I didn't think I was going to win, because everyone was so gnarly. I couldn't even talk. There was champagne sprayed everywhere. It was awesome, dude. That night I went out to dinner with the judges from Tampa. I had this big hotel room all to myself. [My roommate] couldn't make it because he had a meeting. So I was lonely.
ESPN.com: Have any mainstream brands, like Sony or Panasonic, hollered at you because of Tampa?
Colden: No. Nothing like that. No, like, electricity companies. [Laughs]
ESPN.com: How has this past year changed your parents' view of your skating career?
Colden: I don't really talk to my dad. My mom is so proud of me. I can't ever talk to her on the phone without her seriously bawling out crying. She is so supportive. She has always been telling me that she's my biggest fan.
ESPN.com: Three of the biggest names in skateboarding -- Heath Kirchart, Chris Cole and Jamie Thomas -- have become your personal mentors. You must have been nervous when you first skated with them.
Colden: Seriously, I feel super-comfortable with them now. Heath is, seriously, like, older brother, Dad-type material. When I first got on, I didn't want to fall in front of them. Now it's just like skating with a couple of friends.
ESPN.com: From "pros to bros."
Colden: Exactly. Just chilling. Heath Kirchart, he's seriously the nicest and sickest dude I have ever met. Heath is always telling me how to save my money. They're almost like friends. I just pick up the phone, like, "Yo, what's up, man?"
ESPN.com: Having accomplished so much in so short a time, what's it like when you go back to your hometown, Virginia Beach?
Colden: No one really skates anymore. It's pretty lame. I just go there and hang out with a couple of friends. Skate at the local park. I do like fishing. I just skate the park with my friends. Then afterwards I go fishing. I'd go fishing out here in California, but there's no lakes or ponds out here or anything. There's a whole bunch of little rivers and lakes and ponds and stuff in Virginia. Bass. I just catch them and let them go.
ESPN.com: Do your friends back home ask you silly questions like "What's Chris Cole really like? What's Jamie Thomas really like?"
Colden: Yeah, yeah. They always ask me stuff like that. It doesn't really bug me. It kind of does. It's just like -- I don't know. I feel like I want to get treated as if this never happened. They always ask me for free product. If I have it I am always happy to give it to them. If I don't, I feel bad.
ESPN.com: It's been widely reported that potato chips are some of your favorite foods. Have you thought of trying to get a chip sponsor?
Colden: Oh, my God! I would be so psyched if I got a chips sponsor.
ESPN.com: Which sponsor would you like?
Colden: Spicy Nacho Doritos.
ESPN.com: Those are nasty.
Colden: What!? No! Those are so good. If I am on a skate trip, I will eat five packs a day. That is all I'll eat.
ESPN.com: You have an interesting heritage. You're part Native American and part Hawaiian. Growing up, what kind of traditions, if any, did your parents teach you from these different cultures? Did they cook any exotic food?
Colden: Not really. I am not sure what Indian I am. I just know that I am. No one ever really broke it down to me.
ESPN.com: I read that one of your favorite foods is Hawaiian bread? What is Hawaiian bread?
Colden: Oh, my God! It's like these Hawaiian rolls that are amazing, so soft and sweet. They're the best!
ESPN.com: You recently tweeted that you like Tyler Perry movies. Was that a joke?
Colden: No, no, no. That dude is hilarious. His sense of humor is awesome.
ESPN.com: This is the film director Tyler Perry?
Colden: He, like, plays, like, three different characters in every movie he's in.
ESPN.com: What's your favorite Tyler Perry movie?
Colden: I don't know. He has so many that are good. I couldn't even tell you.
ESPN.com: What plans do you have for 2012?
Colden: Get my license, get a car, and that's it. And film the Emerica part.
ESPN.com: You're probably going to have to get used to giving interviews. I should ask that in the form of the question. If you continue killing it, you're probably going to have to get used to giving interviews, don't you think?
Colden: Oh, yeah. I don't care. Interviews. I am more than happy to do them.

Patricia Walls Stamm, CG, CGL, presented a program titled Elements of a Research Plan: Or Which Way Do I Go?
Everyone makes plans for events like weddings, reunions, parties, and vacations. However, many genealogists never put this type of preparation into their family research. This presentation showed how planning can help maximize research and avoid wasting time, effort, and money.
A research plan is basically a map of where you want to go in your genealogical pursuits. A clear plan keeps you aware of three important elements: the problem involved, the necessary research, and the results of that research, which may lead to further research. A plan could cover a single library visit or a long term search.
An effective plan has several elements:
This presentation was well received by the audience and generated several questions and discussion.
