The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — A woman called to say her 11-year-old granddaughter wants to learn to crochet. The woman wondered if any place — libraries, YWCA or others — have a class to teach crocheting after school. She herself, does not crochet because she is left-handed and wasn't able to learn. (I had the same problem when my sister, who crochets beautifully, tried to teach me. After a couple of hours, she gave up — and so did I.) Anyway, the granddaughter is right-handed and her grandmother would like her to learn now before she loses interest. Ideas anyone?
Bob Derner sent in this article on clotheslines (and clothes poles.) If you don't know what clotheslines are, skip this. Enjoy.
The basic rules:
• You had to hang the socks by the toes ... NOT the top.
• You hung pants by the bottom/cuffs ... NOT the waistbands.
• You had to wash the clothesline(s) before hanging any clothes, walk the entire length of each line with a damp cloth around the lines.
• You had to hang the clothes in a certain order, and always hang "whites" with "whites," and hang them first.
• You never hung a shirt by the shoulders - always by the tail. What would the neighbors think?
• Wash day on a Monday. Never hang clothes on the weekend, or on Sunday.
• Hang the sheets and towels on the OUTSIDE lines so you could hide your "unmentionables" in the middle (perverts & busybodies, y'know.)
• It didn't matter if it was sub-zero weather ... clothes would "freeze-dry."
• ALWAYS gather the clothes pins when taking down dry clothes. Pins left on the lines were "tacky."
• If you were efficient, you would line the clothes up so that each item did not need two clothes pins, but shared one of the clothes pins with the next washed item.
• Clothes off of the line before dinner time, neatly folded in the clothes basket, and ready to be ironed.
• Ironed? Well, that's a whole other subject.
Bob also included a poem too long to print here, but if you would like a copy, send me an email and I'll send it along.
Last week's YWCA centennial dinner was a great event and brought out so many people. MaryAlice Demler did a great job as emcee and was presented with a special award, as was YWCA director Jill Townson — both well deserved. The two beautiful booklets that each guest received were remarkable. Professionally done, full of information and history of this gem in North Tonawanda. An event well planned and carried out. Congratulations to all.
Doug Tayor, president of Taylor Devices and board chairman of LCDC, sent an email to clarify the Webster Street tree plantings, being done as part of a State Green Infrastructure Grant with state funds.
"The intent of the new boxes and plantings is to allow biodegradation of storm water run-off before the water gets into our storm sewers which flow into the canal and Niagara River," Doug explained.
He noted that anytime a reader has questions about any new development project in the city they will get a quick response from the Lumber City Development Corporation, which by state law is independent from the city. The LCDC contact information is at the web site, www.lumbercitydc.com. Board members are selected by the LCDC board from the private business sector, save for the NT mayor and one member of the City Council. Board members receive no salary.
The tree plantings are part of a $575,000 Green Infrastructure Grant from the NYS Environmental Facilities Corp. The plantings use predesigned units that come with about 10 different types of trees that meet the requirements for remediation of the contaminants and must be compatible with our local climate, rainfall amounts, etc. The tree options were given to the local property and business owners on Webster Street who then selected Jack Pears and Ivory Silk Lilacs, types they felt were most appropriate to the street.
Thanks Doug for the clear explanation.
When I began working at the News, Dean Harmon was the dynamic circulation manager, a job he held for 28 years. He was quiet spoken, friendly, more than capable and always had a plan to make the News the best it could be. His death made me recall the wonderful days of the News with Ruby Hewitt at the helm. Condolences to his family.
Butch Bauman was a bit different from Dean as he was outspoken and, when necessary, argumentative (right up my alley) and a big lovable bear of a person. My first encounter was when, at my first job after college in the development office at Canisius College, I was asked to pick up Butch at the airport as he was the first student from Regis High School in Manhattan to come to Canisius. Born in New York City, he carried that New York City accent all through his life. Our paths crossed again when his children and ours attended Cardinal O'Hara High School. A teacher in Buffalo and then in retirement a starter at Brighton Golf Course, you knew you were in for fun when he was around. He was one of a kind. Condolences to the family.

Woodward News
Woodward, Okla. —
It might be fun to take Fido along while going trick-or-treating on Halloween. But veterinary officials at Oklahoma State University and in Woodward said that dogs shouldn't get treats made for people.
Sugary substances and several other items humans enjoy are hazardous to cats, too.
Dr. Marvin Reidlinger, DVM of Woodward Animal Clinic, said chocolate is one prime example of a popular treat for kids that can be dangerous to animals, in particular dogs.
And the darker the chocolate, the more severe the gastrointestinal problems your dog will suffer.
But it's not just chocolate, most candy and other sweets can be poisonous to pets, and in large quantities, may be fatal.
If that's not serious enough, Reidlinger said smaller dogs have an added risk.
"They can choke on hard candy," he said.
OSU veterinarians said Xylitol, a sugar substitute used in gum, candy, nicotine gum, toothpaste, many baked goods and chewable vitamins is extremely poisonous to dogs. The chemical causes low blood sugar and liver damage, which results in vomiting, seizures and collapse.
And it's not just the candy that is harmful. Both cats and dogs can get life-threatening bowel obstructions from ingesting candy wrappers, which could require surgery to correct, according to OSU veterinarians.
Derinda Blakeney, of the college's veterinary public relations department, said beads and other small parts can fall off costumes and also lead to pet-poisoning.
Other costume accessories such as glow sticks and glow jewelry are also hazardous. OSU staff said that cats will ingest the glow sticks and that can injure their mouths.
Reidlinger, with more than 20 years in animal health practice, said that even treats given out as healthier alternatives to candy on Halloween can be harmful to dogs.
Grapes and raisins are highly toxic to dogs, he said.
In addition, he noted, "Cheese can cause a great deal of digestive distress in dogs."
"In case there's an emergency, if you suspect your pet has eaten something poisonous, call the OSU Veterinary Hospital for help," said Blakeney. "The hospital is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at (405) 744-7000."
Also, pet lovers may also contact any of the veterinarians at the Woodward Animal Clinic with questions or concerns about their pet at (580) 256-7787, Reidlinger said.
When it comes to giving your dog or cat treats for Halloween, stick to goodies you already find in the pet aisle at your local store.
Reidlinger suggests looking carefully checking labels to certify that the treats are marked safe for dogs or cats to eat, such as pet-approved chews.
Blakeney said some dogs even like small carrot chunks "for the crunch." Or for a more seasonal treat, you can give your dog small chunks of fresh pumpkin or even sweet potatoes with the skin removed, either raw or warmed slightly in the microwave, she said.
As an alternative to taking Fido or Rover trick-or-treating with the kiddos, consider entering your pet in Atwoods 17th annual Pet Costume Contest this Sunday at 2 p.m.
This event is geared specifically for pets so should provide a safe environment for your animals to enjoy some Halloween fun.
The costume contest is open to all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats and even goats. The pets will be dived up into 4 different weight classes, with up to 18 overall winners being selected to receive prizes of free pet supplies. There will also be free giveaways for participants, with the freebies and prizes sponsored by IAMS, Purina, Tomlyn Mfg., Mustang Mfg., Petmate and more.
Just stop by the Woodward Atwoods store at 3013 Williams Ave. at 2 p.m. Sunday to participate, or call the store at (580) 256-7436 for more information.
However, in coming up with creative costume ideas for your pets, be careful with what materials you use.
"Dying your pet's fur can be harmful to their digestive system, too," Blakeney said.

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
If you decide to do a lot of interactivity, you'll need to learn more about ActionScript. Ideally, you'll want to place less code directly on objects and put most of your code in frames. Using frame actions to control objects is a sophisticated technique that goes beyond the scope of this book. To give you a peek at the power of this type of scripting, the following tasks walk you through creating a simple frame action that controls a movie-clip instance. You'll use a mix of assisted and unassisted scripting methods.
In the preceding section, you scripted your movie-clip button to use the standard button states (showing the _up, _over, and _down frames) but made no use of its Disabled frame. You may want the disabled state to appear only in certain frames of your movie, not in response to a user's interaction. A Back button that takes users to the previous page may be disabled in frame 1, for example. You can use frame actions to disable (or enable) a movie-clip button.

You might be wondering why a Social Media Strategist is suggesting you quit social media. It's simple. Social media is sucking the life out of us. It's everywhere, in everything we do, but is there a happy medium where our lives online and offline can meet? Maybe.
When was the last time you picked up the phone and talked to a friend?
When was the last time you just went to a place without checking in?
When was the last time you didn't tag yourself and a friend in a post on social media?
If you're like a lot of Americans, the answer is that it has been a long time.
The argument to quit social media is that there are real people in the world who really need you and your attention. You are valued in the three-dimensional world in ways that cannot be conveyed online. How you see yourself is -- by some accounts -- decreased when you're spending hours online.
Here's the problem with the argument to quit social media: It fails to include how social media helps us and our businesses. Social media, when used properly, is a tool for people who would otherwise have not met, to meet and interact. Perhaps there is an exchange of business. Perhaps you learn about a new business or idea or book or recipe. This may not have happened without it or at least at the pace it happens on social media.
Social media is making the world a smaller place in which we can relate and do business. The important thing to remember is that online isn't the only world. Finding a healthy dose of online and offline is the key to maintaining a presence on and off social media.
Cynthia Cavoto is the Founder of Firebrand Social Media bringing social media solutions to businesses. She and her team ignite the online fire for businesses to establish and build an online audience on a variety of social media platforms. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Facts On Finding Fundamental Elements In Home And Appliance Repair
Dreaming of a hot tub but don't think you're experience enough to install one? If you have built a deck, and connected your dishwasher, you have all the skills you need to install your hot tub.
Whenever your home improvement projects call for installing or replacing light switches, spend a little extra money to equip each room's primary lights with a dimmer switch. Not only will you yourself enjoy the increased flexibility offered by good dimmers, the expenditure will pay off in terms of a little added market value if you ever sell your home.
Make sure that the sink and tub does not drip. If it does often all that is needed is a new O-ring. A home improvement store can help you with the proper part and often they will give you directions. Typically after turning the water off at the shut off valve all that is needed to be done is remove the handles, unsrew the valve, insert a new O-ring and reinstall.
It was a hassle to keep on emptying and filling the machine with water so first the whites were washed in the clean hot water, then the coloured clothes. Then they were hand rinsed and run through the wringer again to dry them but this time the water went down the sink. Finally the clothes were hung out to dry. If it started to rain it was a rush to get outside and take them down before they got too wet. There were no tumble driers in those days.
A plan will be good, but an advanced planning is a positive way to begin your kitcen remodel. Don't forget to sample a lot of ideas about the style and the materials involved and even the cost from experts. You can still do this even if you will not be on the job yourself.
Commercial meat grinders can grind meat to different textures. If you prefer chunkier meat, you can certainly do so on the coarse grind option. If you want something smoother, then you can go with the fine grind option. You can even mix both grinds together to get more textured dishes. It lets you take control of what you put in your food, and the kind of food you make. It will be so much easier to experiment with a lot of different cuisines with a handy grinder.
Look at the floor plan in your kitchen and try to design around it. Most kitchens have either an L-shape, U-shape or gallery floor plan. Make sure that every design choice is perfectly planned and balances out the floor plan. Take note and determine where people congregate the most in your kitchen. Why do they like to socialize in this particular space? Maybe the lighting in that section is bright or the window lets in a lot of sunshine. This lets you know that you should concentrate on this space and change up the decor and make it really special.
Starting home business is of course not that simple! You must have multiple blogs to do that effectively. If you really want to start home business using your blogs you should first make a list of markets that your blogs can cover. Blogs normally don't do best when they represent multiple markets. Making things easier for those who are confused, a blog about cats should not include anything about home appliances. Readers who are visiting your blog in order to educate themselves about the cats will not have any immediate interest in kitchen appliances and taking care of the interests of your readers is most important thing for your blog to achieve.
You will probably have to remove everything from your kitchen, so stock the temporary location with those pots, dishes, and flatware you will need. Some other essentials include a microwave and toaster oven, which can help you prepare food in the absence of an oven and cooktop. A hot plate is great to heat up soup and make pasta. Emerging opportunities in reasonable secrets of dryer repair Maytag. If you have a freezer, cook meals before the kitchen renovation that you can later defrost in the microwave. A table and chairs also make a good addition. Plan on using the grill, which is a great substitute for the cooktop.
Flooring renovations within the kitchen are so important. There are several options; wood, ceramic and carpet. I think carpet is not an option for most people. My parents had to settle with carpet, they choose Berber, because it was the only way to bring warmth to their area. This was of course before heated flooring became popular. Both wood and ceramic are attractive options. Consider the style of the new kitchen and make sure the floor suits the new environment.

Sub-series consists of formal records of corrections made to the Records of Entry where an individual's original record of entry into Canada cannot be located. People whose immigration landing records cannot be located in the Records of Entry (because these are illegible or incomplete, or because the individual does not have sufficient information about his or her arrival) are sometimes formally conceded to have entered Canada legally. Errors in the original records are also corrected through this process, which is also referred to as status adjustment. These records relate to entries into Canada between 1905 and 1918 or entries of uncertain date. The records are in the form of memoranda or letters which state the facts of the person's original entry into Canada and his or her residence in Canada since that point, and recommend that landing be conceded or state that landing has been conceded.

Reporting from Portland, Ore. — Oregon officials know all about anti-tax fervor.
Over the years, voters here have capped property taxes (saddling the state with two-thirds the cost of running the schools) and passed a constitutional amendment requiring rebates whenever tax receipts come in 2% over budget. Nine times they have been asked to OK a sales tax -- and said no. Proposals to increase the state income tax? Down in flames twice.

Etihad Stadium signs 'multi-million dollar' deal
Etihad Airways has signed a five-year extension to its naming rights deal for Melbourne's multi-purpose Etihad Stadium.
Having first secured sponsorship of the 53,000-seat stadium in March 2009, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates will now continue as the naming rights partner until 2019.
Exact financial terms of the 'multi-million dollar' renewal were not revealed, however some reports suggested the previous deal was worth between AUS$5 million and AUS$8 million per year.
The stadium's chief executive Ian Collins and Etihad president and chief executive James Hogan made the announcement in Melbourne on Wednesday.
"Placing the Etihad name on this world class sports and entertainment stadium, as well as activating our marketing and hospitality rights, has provided Etihad Airways with a solid platform to build our brand across the state of Victoria and the whole of Australia," Hogan said in a official statement.
"The partnership with Melbourne Stadiums Limited gives Etihad Airways unparalleled exposure in Australia, one of the most important routes in our network, and we are delighted to extend the naming agreement for Etihad Stadium until 2019."
Collins added: "Renewing the agreement is in many ways more exciting than when it was first signed in 2009 as it demonstrates how successful the partnership has been for Melbourne Stadiums Limited and Etihad Airways."
The stadium, formerly known as the Colonial Stadium and then the Telstra Dome, is home to five AFL clubs: Essendon, St Kilda, North Melbourne, Carlton, and Western Bulldogs. It also occasionally plays host to the Melbourne Victory A-League franchise.
Since 2009, more than 150 AFL premiership season matches have taken place at the stadium, as well as 39 soccer matches. The stadium has also hosted three cricket matches, seven rugby league games and three rugby union matches in that time.
Etihad is a major force in sports sponsorship with numerous deals in place in soccer, motorsport, Gaelic sport, and sailing. In the UK, the airline's profile was boosted last year after two of the teams it sponsors in the country, Manchester City Football Club and Harlequins rugby club, were crowned champions of their respective domestic leagues.

Schumacher's Two-Sport Bid Isn't Settled -- November 21, 1997
Colorado Springs, CO - USS National Team Director Dennis Pursley has appealed a ruling that would allow Brad Schumacher to compete for both the U.S. National Water Polo and Swim Teams, a move that has U.S. team members crying foul.
Brad Schumacher thought he had won his fight to swim and play water polo for the U.S. the 1998 World Championships in Perth, Australia. Wrong!
The unanimous loser at last week's hearing by U.S. Swimming's review board - National Team Director Dennis Pursley - has appealed to the USS board of directors in a move that has Schumacher and his supporters crying foul and has set the team coach against his boss. Pursley doesn't want to allow any swimmers out of team camps, which the schedule in Perth would require for Schumacher, and he originally ruled that Schumacher would have to choose one sport or the other.
"Dennis had told me that he would support 100% what the board brought back as its decision," Schumacher said. "Now he's gone against what he said he was going to do."
Jeff Rouse, a 3-time Olympic gold medalist, who has rallied other swimmers to Schumacher's cause said he was also told by Pursley that the 5-member review board's decision would be final.
"He made an enemy out of me," Rouse said of Pursley. "He lied to me."
Pursley said he did talk to both swimmers "and if I used the wrong words and misled them, that wasn't my intention. I don't recall my exact words, but I know what my intentions were, and I meant the review process in U.S. Swimming."
He said the purpose of his appeal was to get the organization's directors on record regarding participation requirements for National Teams.
"Whatever the final step turns out to be," Pursley said, "I won't pursue it any further. If Brad wins, I will welcome him to the team with open arms."
The 20 USS directors meet Saturday and Sunday in Colorado Springs to deal with Pursley's appeal, but Schumacher, currently training with the U.S. Water Polo team in Southern California, will not be able to make the trip to present his case. Neither will his personal coach, John Tanner, who is the head coach of Stanford women's water polo and an assistant on the National Team.
"I thought that by having the board of review, Dennis would be able to abide by that," Tanner said. "It was win-win. There would be no loss of authority on Dennis' part and no loss of opportunity for Brad."
University of Michigan swim coach Jon Urbanchek, who will coach the U.S. men at Worlds strongly opposes Pursley's appeal.
"If the board of review's decision was not good enough, if the coach's opinion is not good enough, I think someone's in the wrong business here," Urbanchek said.
"I look at what is best for the athlete. I am the head coach for this team. This is not the right way to prepare for the World Championships. Some battles are worth fighting for. This is not the one. We are here for the athletes; we're not here for our egos. If you're here for your ego, you should go into professional sports.
Schumacher, a double-gold medalist in swimming at the 1996 Olympics, joined the National Water Polo Team earlier this year and contributed to the U.S. victory at the 1997 World Cup. He wants to use Perth as a dry run to see if competing in both sports is possible 3 years from now at the 2000 Olympic Games.
Either party may appeal this weekend's decision to the U.S. Olympic Committee, which is responsible for questions regarding athlete's rights under federal law. The USOC would, as a matter of course, refer the matter to the American Arbitration Association.
Schumacher said he will exhaust all available appeals.
"If I have to make a decision between the two, I will play water polo," he said. "This has definitely helped influence my decision."

The BBC was in the mix Saturday night as a recently reunited Blur played their first show together in nine years. A crowd of roughly 150 people huddled into a "goods shed" at the East Anglian Railway Museum, the exact spot where the Brit pop heavyweights' very first gig took place waaaaay back in 1988. Shuffling through staples like "Parklife," "Coffee and TV," and the above "This Is A Low," dudes played for a whopping 130 minutes. Damon Albarn even enjoyed some crowd surfing, something he might not be able to do so handily when the band take the headlining throne at Glastonbury later this month.

Mazda CX-7 Buying Decision!
zoom08 NYCPosts: 661. Not all models have the turbo engine. I have a 2008 GT AWD turbo. I love it. I had silly problems but nothing that I would say or make me not want to be a mazda owner. I am not sure how many miles you put a year but I drive at least 18K per year. If gas conservation is an issue, DO NOT BUY this CAR, get the honda CRV better mileage, smaller front seats but ample rear seating space.
2. Previously, I drove a honda CRV Lx AWD. Great reliability, better quality inside in the cabin but boring as hell to drive. As for value, at the end of the day EVERY car will lose value the moment you drive it out of the dealership. As for how every often you change your cars???
Personally, after 100K miles, i start looking for a new car as I drive between NYC, NJ and PA so I am in the highway and reliability is a huge issue for me.
3. I bought my car in Dec 2007, all i do is change oil every 3 to 4K miles, got a new set of tires at 33K, I have done a wheel alignment at 53K miles and changed light bulbs and wipers. SO maintenance has been low. In comparison to my CRV, my mazda is more comfortable at the front, rear seat is ok. I have a baby seat in back plus luggage and that is enough space for me.
If I could, I would like to look forward to trading up for the CX9, as there are many more standard features for that model than my CX7 but again overall experience is that I really love my car. AWESOME handling in snow and rain with the AWD system. CX is not bad but there is just no power once the car has 4 people and groceries. Honda engine is wimp.......leaves you wondering where is the horse power...
wwest Posts: 10,706"..leaves you wondering where is the horse power..."
As a safety measure many modern day FWD only vehicles have the engine automatically "derated" at lower speeds and/or in lower gear ratios. You may note that many of these same models, in F/awd "dress", have better 0-60 times since this derating is not really required.
stantonb1 Posts: 50In August I purchased a Brilliant Black CX-7. I had considered a Honda CRV and the Subaru Outback and Forester. My impressions were that the CX-7 simply gave me more vehicle and fun. My CX-7 listed out for $34,400 and I purchased it for $31,550. The CX-7 is a blast to drive, I do not have 500 miles on it yet, but those miles were enjoyable. The delivery of my CX-7 left me with some negative feelings. The CX-7 was not gone over and the Mazda preparation sheet was not checked off for the exterior. The roof had paint discoloration and the right rear quarter panel a finger nail size ding. The northeast Philadelphia dealer went over the roof and used a paint stick on the ding. I very seldom give up on anything, but immediately realized I was not getting satisfaction from the dealer on the ding and paint problems. I had to have the roof gone over 3 times by the dealer then just decided enough. I had my brand new CX-7 detailed and wow. The ding is still there but the brilliant black is now blinding, simply georgeus.
Some things I think Mazda could have done better, the navigation system back up camera screen is a joke. It would be nice to have iPod integration. My wife would appreciate better interior lighting, especially when trying to load in the kids.
In summation I really do like my CX-7, the features for the price are remarkable. The styling is alive and enlightening. I have a top notch mechanic and detail facility so I only worry about the dealer for warranty work. The Bose sound system is ok and I think I did well.

alaskacx7 Posts: 4A couple of years ago I spied my first CX7 and fell in love but had a nearly new GMC at the time. I grew increasingly fond of MY PAYCHECK and decided that the oil companies were going to get less of it so I finally bought a 2011 CX7 iSport Front Wheel Drive in Copper Red Mica, only paid $20,900 + $700 for a 4-Yr Ext Warranty, 0% financing and got the dealer to go halves on all of the added options that I wanted. Been getting anywhere from 26 to 30 mpg (@ 1500 miles now) I opted for this model so that I would get the better mileage. I was paying $100 miles roundtrip to go to my cabin and now about $40! I don't feel the legroom is an issue but then I am always in the driver's seat ! I have actually ridden in the back seat and it is not bad at all. So far I love this car and how it handles, it is a very comfortable ride, the controls are easy to reach & read and I love the iPod integration system, the only complaint I have is the road noise (it's not terrible just louder than I am used to) but then I came from a 3.5 ton GMC Envoy XUV hog that the dealer gave me high book on as trade in. I am going to check into seeing if there is a noise coating you can have applied to the under body. If you are in Anchorage and thinking of buying shoot me an email so that I can give you the specs on buying from Continental Motors because they pay your monthly payment for each buyer you turn on to them but you have to mention my name! :blush:
stantonb1 Posts: 50On September 1st I composed a letter to Mazda Customer Assistance Center and sent it with a copy of the New Car Get Ready Inspection form for my 2011 CX-7 S Grand Touring AWD. The letter had comments pertaining to the delivery of my CX-7. The Exterior Inspection area of the form was not completed and signed off on. There were problems with my CX-7 regarding the exterior. The CX-7 was delivered with a ding in the right rear quarter panel and the right rear roof was a mess. The letter was sent to the address provided by Mazda. It was sent via the USPS. Upon not receiving a reply I sent a FAX to Mazda Customer Assistance Center on September 11th to the number provided by Mazda. No response from the FAX either. Phoned Mazda at number provided in owners manual for Customer Assistance and received the attitude what do I want Mazda to do? When I phoned again I provided details and said all I would like from Mazda is acknowledgement of the situation.
Next step is to have information sent to Mazda Customer Assistance with receipt of delivery.
I can not say anything positive pertaining to Mazda Customer Assistance.

Riverbed Technology Inc.'s RiOS operating system impressed our judging panel with its ability to consolidate and simplify remote-location infrastructure.
RiOS reduces the hardware footprint in remote locations by virtualizing edge services, accelerating application performance and simplifying remote-location administration. The RiOS OS powers the company's Steelhead WAN acceleration appliances, mobile client and Riverbed Services Platform (RSP).
Among the new features RiOS 5.0 introduced were the RSP data services platform that enables virtualized edge services without deploying additional physical servers. Application acceleration features now eliminate the burdensome storage requirement to support widely used applications, including Web-based apps. And an application-level protocol optimization for Microsoft Exchange 2007 adds to the OS's support for Exchange 2000 and 2003.
One judge remarks that Version 5.0 offers "major improvements for Steelhead customers."
The company claims its Steelhead appliances will improve simple file-sharing operations by a hundredfold, cut disaster recovery windows tenfold or more, and reduce WAN bandwidth utilization by 60% to 95%. The judges give RiOS 5.0 high marks for innovation,
| performance and functionality.
The Steelhead appliance models range in price from $3,495 to $129,995. Ten mobile client licenses cost $3,499, and can be purchased with the appliances or later. Riverbed estimates that organizations will require a license for every three to five mobile users, with the cost per user approximately $87.

MILTON - The Milton Area School District's final 2013-14 budget was approved Tuesday and includes a tax increase of 1.31 mills, or 2.4 percent, in Northumberland County and .41 mills, or 3.6 percent, in Union County.
Only board member Rodney Noll voted against the budget, because he said he doesn't think the board should increase taxes.
"I think there are cuts that could have been made," he said. "It wasn't necessary."
Taxes also were raised to help balance the 2012-13 budget, 1.28 mills, or 2.4 percent, in Northumberland County and .38 mills, or 3.4 percent, in Union County, according to board meeting minutes.
"The board is too subservient to the administration and totally disloyal to the taxpaying constituents," Noll, who represents White Deer, East Chillisquaque and Turbot townships, said.
Noll said he has concerns about the fact that some administrators involved in preparing the budget do not own property in the district and therefore do not have to pay the increased tax rates.
"They make out the budget, but they don't own property in the borough and contribute," he said.

AARP, listen up: Ayotte's words of wisdom
AARP is doing neither those it claims to represent, current senior citizens, nor the nation at large any favors with its position that Social Security and Medicare as now constituted must continue to have the expiration date of a Twinkie. That is to say, never.
The AARP, having spent millions on ads to defend the status quo during the recent election, is now spending more trying to get people to tell their congressmen not to even think about reviewing future entitlement levels while they are driving off the so-called fiscal cliff.
Both the continued unstable, recession-ready economy and longterm fiscal outlook are bad for current seniors as well as future ones. As U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte noted in her national radio address last Saturday:
"The nation will need to start reforming entitlements going forward to make sure the safety net is there for future generations. One thing is clear: Doing nothing is not an option. And any effort to address our fiscal crisis without including entitlement reform can't be taken seriously.''
If the AARP doesn't smarten up, it cannot be taken seriously.

With eight kids, Kate Gosselin must know how to save money, right? Well, that is exactly what Coupon Cabin thought when they hired her to write money saving blogs almost a year ago.
Each Monday, Kate delivered a new blog, giving readers tips on how to save money. The posts never garnered many comments and, when they did, there weren't many positive ones. Then, when readers signed onto the site this week to read Kate's newest blog, they were meant with a letter from the CEO of the company, explaining that due to some "recent situations," Kate's "contributions do not align with the authenticity" that the site is going for.
Could those "recent situations" be anything that was possibly covered in Robert Hoffman's new tell-all book? Although it was quickly pulled from Amazon due to legal reasons (it is currently undergoing a "revamp" and will be re-released in the future), the accusations made were enough to ruin Kate's reputation even more.
Hoffman spoke to Radar Online about Kate's firing and, surprisingly, wasn't particularly excited about Kate's job-loss, but was elated that people are seeing the real her. He said:
"Although I won't celebrate Kate's most recent loss of employment from her couponing blog, I am encouraged that more and more people are seeing through her facade and realizing that Gosselin isn't who she claims to be, and I'm hoping that more people will come forward to speak out about what they know to be the truth about Kate Gosselin's eight-year web of lies, abuse, greed and manipulation—for the sake of the Gosselin children."
Of course, Coupon Cabin didn't specifically state that the allegations in the book had anything to do with their decision to fire Kate, but it does lead some to wonder exactly what their reasons for doing so actually were.

1979: Yes Virginia, There Is an Agnes
By Jerome Aumente
[This article originally appeared in the Summer 1979 issue of Nieman Reports.]
…Louis M. Lyons, as Nieman Curator, continually struggled against the ban on women from the program. His correspondence with the University administration in the early 1940's shows that he was frankly puzzled by its adamant position prohibiting women applicants. Eventually this musty, ill-defined tradition would fall to dust and brittle pieces when given a good shaking, but someone had to rattle it.
Lyons was not overly optimistic. In a letter to The New Republic's Bruce Bliven as late as 1943—five years after the start of the program—he showed his pessimism. While recommending people for possible jobs at the magazine, he included a list of qualified women. "If this sounds as if I am in a strong feminist mood," Lyons writes, "I am. I tried to break down the Nieman guards to admit women candidates this year and got my ears pinned back by J. B. Conant. I have a feeling that we are going to need more Anne O'Hare McCormicks and Dorothy Thompsons in journalism in the future. But I guess we aren't going to bring them to Harvard. I don't know why The New Republic shouldn't do something about it."…
When Lyons asked Conant about admitting women to the Nieman program, he recalled the president's answer: "Why, you serve whiskey at those Nieman dinners, don't you? Let's not complicate it. It's going to be all right, isn't it?"
Conant had a crystal ball in his office with "No" painted on the bottom, which he consulted when approached on dubious projects. But Professor Schlesinger and Curator Lyons were not impressed. They hammered away until the president yielded with a parting admonition to Lyons: "The blood be on your head."
Mary Ellen Leary was used to hesitation about letting women into traditionally stag domains. She was an experienced political reporter for the San Francisco News when she applied to the Nieman program. Frank Clarvoe, Editor of the News, nominated her for the Fellowship in 1943, and Lyons wrote back that he was greatly interested in the application and pleaded for time to check whether there was "an attitude against women as Fellows or a deep-rooted policy that really prevents their being considered."
The cover of the March 12, 1948 issue of Fortnight, a California news magazine, depicted Mary Ellen Leary at her typewriter with her coffee cup nearby and her desk piled high with paper debris. In the magazine's press section was a long story with a one column cut and the cutline: "A fine girl—except that she is a woman." (I leave that for 1979 readers to puzzle over.)
The column began:
"The boys in Sacramento were pretty skeptical when the San Francisco News sent a woman to cover the 1945 Legislature. But last week, as she returned for her third legislative session, they recognized that the only woman political editor of a major daily paper in California knows her job."
The article continued to describe Ms. Leary as "tireless…but deceptively frail. Her toughness, even her brass, surprise those who have not seen her in action. Yet when she enters a press conference late the boys all rise as though the queen herself has just stepped in. Such chivalry bespeaks respect plus a touch of ingrown, male envy."
And those whiskey-ridden stag dinners came up again. It seems that the Capitol Press Association gave an annual stag dinner at the Governor's mansion. Mary Ellen Leary had not been invited. The president of the association received forthwith a searing note from her: "As representative of the News I expect to be invited to every party, but as a woman I don't intend to go to any of them." The magazine reported that she won the battle, was invited, and later on even attended a few dinners.
In a long and thoughtful review of her 1945-1946 Nieman year Mary Ellen Leary recalls the advice of Virginia Woolf, who wrote in 1929 that if a woman wanted to write fiction she needed, at minimum, a room and 500 pounds per year.
Mary Ellen writes: "I would add, as a symbol of a new step in feminine recognition, this nearly 20 years later (1946), that for real equality now a woman must also have the right, or the possibility at least, of admission to Harvard.…
"…Curiously enough, Mrs. Woolf's essay opens as though she had anticipated this very year of Nieman's first acceptance of women. Her charming essay, 'A Room of One's Own,' on women's limited opportunities through history, takes flight at the very point when she is barred from admission to the library of a famous English university."
Virginia Woolf described her attempt to enter the library: "…[the] door was blocked by a guardian angel barring the way with a flutter of black gown instead of white wings, a deprecating, silvery, kindly gentleman who regretted in a low voice as he waved me back that ladies are only admitted to the library accompanied by a Fellow of the college or furnished with a letter of introduction.…"
Mary Ellen Leary realizes the significance of her own admittance—as a Nieman Fellow—to the main reading room of Widener.
"Whatever distress this caused the patient puzzled clerks at the desk and whatever exceedingly small distraction it may have offered students of the other sex, the damage is adequately offset, I think, by the gain for women in all time, all kinds of activity, all future efforts at self-development and self-expression.
"Because Charlotte and I were Niemans, sloshing in quite ordinary fashion through Harvard Yard and up the icy library steps to enter Widener cloaked in every 'privilege of the University,' every other door becomes just a little easier for women to enter. I think we sensed this, while we defied anyone taking note of it," Leary writes.…
Mary Ellen Leary and Charlotte L. FitzHenry were the first two women admitted as Nieman Fellows. This was in 1945 and today, until one looks at the time and the context, it seems odd even to note such an occurrence as something special.
Professor Jerome Aumente, 1968 Nieman Fellow, is Chairman of the Department of Journalism and Urban Communications at Livingston College, Rutgers University, and was a research associate at the Nieman Foundation in 1978 as part of a nationwide review of study programs for professional print and broadcast journalists.

If you've been challenged to change, you know the process is not easy. And if it's not easy in our own lives, is there much hope for helping others?
Life change is much more than a formula. At the heart of all positive change is a powerful, loving redemptive relationship. A relationship that goes beyond the altar call and prayer of salvation. A relationship that is sustained by knowing you are unconditionally and irrevocably accepted, secure, significant, valued and have purpose in God through Jesus alone.
Internationally sought after speaker, Dr. Tim Lane, will explain the biblical pattern for change in a clear, practical way that you can apply to the challenges of your daily life.
