Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I absolutely love it! Built quality is fantastic for that price and the light is strong and relieable. It looks waterproof to me although I haven't tested that but I made other tests like leaving it on max. for a couple of minutes, I think around 10mins and nothing happened. The light gets very hot but not that hot that you can'T hold it anymore. Must be nice in the winter^^ Heat sink is great. The steel ring in the middle is thermally well connected to the LED and transfers the heat excellently. There are O-rings everywhere and at some places on the body there is space for a second O-ring but mine came with "only" one each, will upgrade it though. They come unlubricated just like the threads and that's how I like it so I can put some Ballistol on. Light output is great, I estimate it to be around 600-700 Lumen. It's brighter then my Wolf-Eyes XM-L P60 drop-in, I guess since the P60 is somehow more regulated. The light is clean and very white, not cool and not warm, just perfect what I want from an LED. Again, for that price it's QUITE A BARGAIN!!! It's also able to stand up on the tail but only on very flat and even surfaces.
Cons: The lens is easy to break and it's definitely not as easy as to replace simply because it's difficult to find any replacement. I ordered SKU 10646 but DX doesn't ship it for weeks now so I can't write here if it will work or not. I might have to sandpaper/grind it down a bit or there might be other compatibility issues. Always expect the worst )-: I wish the LED module would be offered as replacement here or anywhere but I can't find it. It's just because the body of the lamp is pretty well constructed (considered that price) so in case the LED fries or something happens to it I wish there was a cheap backup. Strobe should be faster. I don't like this kind of strobe while I love the fast strobe versions of other drivers.
Other: I bought it for my granpa and after testing the light (and breaking / chipping the lens...^^) he's going to love it as gift incl. charger and batteries.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It is a very powerful flashlight
It seems bulky and it looks like it will last quite a bunch of time which is not the case of some other very powerfull flashlight, for example, sku.30864
Cons: The screw thread does not seem to good. It looks like it is the weak part.
The autonomy of the battery, I'm using is little bit insufficient for my ride back to home which is about one hour.
Other: and I hope it will last more time than my other flashlight (sku.30864) that I loved when it was working because I could use it more than one hour with in high intensity continuous mode.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: I realy love this flashlight! It's realy powerful. It has a nice beam of clear bright white light. It's weight is light and are easy to carry.
Cons: I'm not a fan of the 3-modes. I prefer 1-mode (on and off). Sometimes the flashlight is getting a little heated.
Other: I have recommended thid flashlight to my friends. If you buy this flashlight, you wil most sertanly be impressed. It's a verry good flashlight for the money!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: It's fantastic, this lamp is very bright and powerful light.
Cons: For myself, I found no cons in this lamp.
Other: Of the six lights that I ordered at the moment everything works fine and delight their owners. I bought myself and friends and will buy more. A good flashlight. I recommend just to buy him batteries 18650 (TrustFire) sku.20392, charger and pouch sku.13820 sku.29355. All these things are tested and work perfectly.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Great flashlight with great finish. Illuminates a lot, has a great power. The batteries and charger are cheap. (Not included) The weight and size are great. It has two operating modes. (continuous and flashing) Ótima lanterna com ótimo acabamento. Ilumina muito, tem uma ótima potência. As baterias e carregador são baratas. (Não estão incluídos) O peso e o tamanho são ótimos. Tem dois modos de operar. (contínuo e piscando)
Cons: It's bad to change the way they operate. (continuous and flashing) Heats up a little The battery could last a little longer. É ruim de mudar o modo de operar. (contínuo e piscando) Esquenta um pouco A bateria poderia durar um pouco mais.
Other: Worth buying. A good item to have kept ready for use. Ideal for those who make tracks at night, for security guards, police and others. Vale a pena comprar. Um bom item para se ter guardado pronto pra usar. Ideal para quem faz trilhas a noite, para vigilantes, policiais, entre outros
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Very bright light, rugged flashlight. I agree with him ride a bike and I like very, shining brightly, even if I drive at high speed. Even on the street, the room is shining very brightly. If you send in the ceiling, the light is scattered very well.
Cons: The first light came from the defect. No light 3 of the 4 LEDs. Replaced without any problems. Just lamp needs to cool, as is strongly heated. No more bad feelings no.
Other: buy it and not regret it.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Muito boa, muito brilhante, vale a pena comprar, isto quem quer ter uma exelente lanterna.O manuseio é muito fácil e é muito bem construido em aluminio. Muito resistente. Seu peso é muito bom e fica fácil de carregar pelo tamanho.
Cons: nenhum
Other: Indiquei a um amigo que comprou na hora e esta muito satisfeito em comprar esta lanterna.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: This is the brightest torch I own.
Build quality is fantastic.
Design allows for really effective heatsinking to the rest of the torch body.
Very easy to adjust the LED position back and forth.
Good colour tint.
Cons: Mine wasn't regulated at 2800ma. Mine was 1600ma.
Beam pattern not as advertised. Much tighter spot with the one I got.
Other: Overall I really like this torch. I got this torch with mountain biking in mind. Beam pattern or brightness wasn't exactly as I would have wanted but still this is a very useful torch that I glad to own.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: In my first review, I was a bit disappointed regarding the brightness. But, after I cleaned all contacts and so on. This flashlight is fantastically BRIGHT. I did a ceiling bouncing test. It light up my bed room like turning on the florescent light.
Cons: I fixed the tailcap finally. After all the tailcap is too cheap quality.
Other: Wish DX have another version using 2x18650, which will lead to more runtime. May be I hv to mod myself.
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Build quality is good (also see the cons). All thread going in smoothly. Bright (with reserve). Good value for ssc P7.
Cons: The lanyard should have been longer. The tailcap is not installed properly. Looks like is going to come out anytime. Still try to figure out how to fix it.
Other: It is more a flooder instead of a thrower especially with a OP reflector. At only USD35<, this is a very good value torch after all. Buy one and you'll be happy. I guess most people buying torch with high power emitter expecting a good brightness. DX should not fit a driver which only squeeze may be 50% of the output.

The Cullman Times
Six gambling machines were seized from a 73-year-old man's West Point home on Thursday afternoon, following a tip received at the Cullman County Sheriff's Office.
Richard Jones of West Point was brought in Thursday evening after Cullman County sheriff's deputies found gambling machines in his home, following a letter received by Cullman County Sheriff Mike Rainey on March 22. The residence is located at County Road 1178 in West Point, three miles from West Point school.
"I received an anonymous letter saying Jones had gambling machines in his garage and traffic coming in and out," Rainey said. "They (deputies) have been working on it ever since then. We received another letter last Friday and they've been out there several times and were finally able to make contact with someone and shut it down."
Cullman Narcotics Enforcement Team director Joey Cone said that Jones, who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, has yet to be arrested.
"He (Jones) is on oxygen and hasn't been arrested yet," Cone said. "We're still doing the paperwork on him and the investigation is continuing."
If arrested, Jones is facing two misdemeanor charges. One for promoting gambling and the other for possession of gambling devices.
"He was really cooperative about everything. He just said, 'Me and my friends were having a good time,'" Cone said. "He had converted his garage into a place to play the gambling machines."
Rainey said he is appreciative of the citizens who provided the Sheriff's Office with information.
"When we get a tip, we take it seriously," Rainey said. "We start running with that tip, but sometimes it takes a while to get it done. We're thankful for the cooperation of the citizens, tipping us off, and we're glad to be able to work with them."

The U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools honors America's public and private elementary, middle and high schools for their efforts toward improving student health and achievement and reducing their environmental impact. A Green Ribbon Schools award will represent a healthy and sustainable school, recognized by parents, students, staff and governments at federal, state and local levels as an exemplary model of achievement in sustainability, health and environmental education.
Green Ribbon Schools sets a standard of excellence for all schools to become energy efficient and healthy learning spaces that provide environmental education. National studies and existing green schools programs indicate that the benefits of the Green Ribbon Schools program will include increased energy cost savings, improved student and staff health and productivity, enhanced critical thinking skills, improved student performance, reduced behavioral problems and increased student engagement, particularly in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.
While the award confers no federal funds, winners of the Green Ribbon, like Blue Ribbon Schools, may experience national and local press coverage, re-energized staff and parents, enhanced community support, increased application rates, and increased opportunities for private financial assistance. Winners will be invited to participate in national and local recognition ceremonies.
Application Information
Schools and districts demonstrating high achievement in the elements of each of the three Green Ribbon Schools Pillars and meeting eligibility requirements and high college- and career-ready standards are eligible for consideration by their state or comparable nominating authority. Colorado is permitted as many as four school nominations and one district nomination. If a state or comparable authority wishes to nominate more than one public school, one must be a school with at least 40 percent of its students eligible for Free and Reduced Lunch. Private schools may also be nominated. School and district applications are due to CDE on Tuesday, Nov. 19.

Uptake of pulmonary rehabilitation in New Zealand by people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 2009
William M M Levack, Mark Weatherall, Julie C Reeve, Christina Mans, Antonia Mauro
To estimate of uptake of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) by people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in New Zealand in 2009.
A postal survey sent to all District Health Boards (DHBs), Primary Health Organisations (PHOs), and other non-government organisations (NGOs) identified as providers of PR. The survey requested information on the characteristics of PR programmes, estimates of the total number of people with COPD who were offered PR, entered PR, and completed PR in 2009.
In 2009 PR was provided in 19 of 21 DHB regions by 23 organisations (16 DHBs, five PHOs, one DHB/PHO partnership, and 1 NGO). Twenty-one of these 23 organisations (91%) responded to the survey. In total, 2569 people with COPD were offered PR, 1786 entered PR, and 1378 completed a PR programme in 2009.
There is a marked shortfall between the national levels of provision of PR and the prevalence of COPD, with less than 1% of people with COPD participating in PR each year in New Zealand. Incentives, leadership and coordination of services are required at a national level to increase the uptake of PR.

Most of us who have ever needed a good word have turned to an alphabetical thesaurus and quickly found a list of possibilities more impressive, more tantalizing or simply more accurate than the one our feeble vocabulary had mustered. Then we wrote the sentence or filled in the crossword and our search was over, done, finished, concluded, terminated.
Efficient? Yes. But not much fun, according to Robert L. Chapman, a lexicographer and editor who spent three decades in the word business.

YORK — Riding the momentum of last week's stunning come-from-behind win over Boiling Springs, the Cougars shift their focus to Friday's 7:30 p.m. home game against defending Big 16 state champ Gaffney.
"Gaffney is big, strong and athletic," head coach Bobby Carroll said of the No. 8-ranked Indians. "Like us, they lost players on defense."
After the Cougars prevailed last year on Gaffney's home turf at The Reservation, Gaffney went on a tear, culminating with the state title win in Columbia.
"We'll have our work cut out for us," said Carroll. "Our kids will be ready to go Friday."
The Gaffney defense bent, but did not break, in last week's 27-14 conquest of Union County. A big crowd is expected for Friday's game, and Cougar fans are being encouraged to arrive early for the showdown with tradition-rich Gaffney.
The Cougars play at home the next four weeks.

10 ounces
farfalle (bow tie) pasta
4 slices
bacon, diced
1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons
diced red onion
1 teaspoon
chopped garlic
1/4 cup
diced Roma tomatoes
cooked chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 pinch
ground black pepper
1 pinch
garlic salt
1 pinch
2 tablespoons
heavy cream
2 tablespoons
grated Asiago cheese
1/3 cup
Alfredo sauce
Excellent made as written!! Restaraunt quality I agree. This went together quickly since I had done all my slicing and dicing before I started and was just dropping things in to the pan. I don't know about anyone else, but I am dreaming of how good shrimp would be in this and I also think I will add 3-4 freshly sliced mushrooms next time. Thanks HungryJohn!!
Tried this recipe last night with hubby, and I felt like it fell short of its potential. I used a whole wheat pasta, which changes the flavor, but this is normal for us so I didn't expect it to make that big of a difference. I feel like where this recipe fell flat was using the bottled alfredo sauce. I sampled the dish after step 2 and it was very good, and then after step 3 it was only mediocre. My gut tells me that if you make a yummier, homemade alfredo sauce it would step up the recipe by at least 1, if not 2 stars. Will try it again sometime.

Delicious! I cooked the chicken in the bacon grease. The rest was exactly the same. This is soooo good. Much better than what I get at the "chain restaurant" where I get a dish very similar to this.
This was really good! I did tweak it a bit for our taste, but overall great! I did as others and cooked the chicken in some of the bacon fat, skipped the butter. Used FF 1/2 and 1/2, added some extra and instead of reducing it down thickened it up with a little flour and milk. Also added a can of peas. Yum!! It's a keeper!
Very good! I did find the recommended porportions of pasta and alfredo sauce to be quite off but it was an easy fix. Serving just the two of us, I halved the pasta and doubled the alfredo. I also used fresh garlic and sauted it with the onion in the butter, then proceeded as stated.
This recipe is fairly involved, at least when I did it. My kids love eating penne pasta, because they can stick their forks in the hole... so I used penne instead. And when I went to the store, I forgot to buy parmesan! Luckily I had some mozarella, which ended up working nicely. I would definitely make this dish again.
Really good. Not very saucy though, which is what I prefer. I think next time I will add a little extra cream, tomato, and alfrdo sauce. I will definitely be making this one again.
this was very good. used parmesan in place of asiago, which worked fine. it was a very nice meal, will make again.

Blount Today
If Steve West of Maryville has his way, a former Tennessee senator will be elected president of the United States in 2008, and it wont be Al Gore.
West is among several throughout the country who are asking others to encourage former U.S. Sen. Fred Dalton Thompson to run for the Republican nomination for President.
Thompson currently plays district attorney Arthur Branch on the hit NBC television show "Law and Order." According to the shows website, the former senator has homes in Nashville and in Washington, D.C.
"Fred has not made any commitment or said he wants to run. Hes got a great job and a good life," West said.
West said there are many people who think Thompson will consider jumping into the race. "People think he can make a difference," West said.
The retired Maryville city councilman and former mayor said many individuals he has spoken with across the country believe Thompson is someone who could heal the country and bridge differences. The former senator wouldnt get involved in the race unless he knew he was needed, West said.
"He already has name-recognition, not just in acting, but in his performance in Washington," West said of Thompsons Senate career and time as a Watergate lawyer. "Hes got credibility. Hes got stature. He has the ability to speak to foreign heads of state as well as to the Senate and the House. He could bring this country together and really strengthen our leadership position in the world community."
West said he got involved in the move to draft the former senator into the presidential race about two and a half months ago. A good friend of his, a car dealer in the state of Washington, called and said he was concerned with the people in both parties who were lining up to run for president.
"There are good people who have good credentials, but there were a couple of candidates who concerned both him and me. Im basically a Republican, but Ive voted for some Democrats," West said. "Our country is so polarized right now. Bush is so polarizing, but so are the Clintons, and so are some of the other people."
West said his friend complained that there wasnt a "middle of the road" candidate who could lead both parties as a leader for the American people. West said his friend was looking for a candidate with the stature to command respect and represent conservative values and yet not offend moderate Americans.
"He said, Ive come to the conclusion that Fred Thompson fits all those bills. He has a Reaganesque quality; hes a good communicator. Not that we need to go to actors all the time, but his background is the Watergate Commission," West said, quoting his friend.
West said he took to the idea and remembered how Thompson initially didnt want to run for Senate until he was asked to run. Then he only did it because he felt there was a need, West said.
West said after that phone call, he made some phone calls of his own and began asking people to contact Thompson to encourage him to run for president. It was also about this time that he was rotating off the board of the National Auto Dealers Association. During his final speech, he told the board members and dealers they needed to consider Fred Thompson for president.
"I said, In two years were going to make a decision that will affect our business and lives very strongly. Whether Republican or Democrat, we have to look at who can be the best leader and bring the country together and bring common sense back without being a polarizing figure," he said.
West said President Bush reached out to Thompson to help usher his Supreme Court nominee through the legislative confirmation hearings.
West said the idea of letting Thompson know he is needed to run to president makes sense because thats how he got involved in the Watergate investigation. It was Thompsons question "What did the President know and when did he know it?" that Sen. Howard Baker asked aloud during the Watergate investigation. Thompson was, at the time, Bakers counsel and former campaign manager.
West said one of the things people ask is if Thompson has the "fire in the belly." Does he really want to do it? People also tell the car dealer that if Thompson is seriously considering the move, he must do it soon before all the donors money is committed, West said.
"Fred Thompson has name recognition that none of these other people have," West said.
Of the three leading Republicans and three leading Democrats, their supporters are picking them, in many cases, because they dont like someone else, West said.
"Some are for individuals because theyre against someone else," West said. "The reasons theyre choosing is not necessarily on the basis of who is good for the leadership of America and who can bring America together."
West said he has heard that Thompson is also hearing the rumblings and is considering a run for president. "A lot more people are encouraging him and writing to him and are encouraging people who know people to do things," West said.
West said that Thompson would probably make a decision in the next couple of months. "I have not talked to him. Ive written to him and talked to other people," West said. "I think if America asked him to be a candidate for president, he would not turn them down."
West said the message is spreading about Thompson. "Key people think he gives us a chance as a country and a party and if hes convinced, he may do it," West said.

The Tribune-Star
Basketball for breakfast is on tap at Hulman Center on Saturday.
Indiana State and Iona have a rare 11 a.m. tipoff in their ESPN BracketBusters game today. It's a case where both teams hope the sun rises on a new day as far as their fortunes are concerned.
ISU (16-11) has lost three in a row and has seen its NCAA Tournament at-large hopes diminish. Two of ISU's three losses in that span were by four points or less.
ISU's losses have been frustrating enough, but the Gaels might have them beat.
Iona (15-12) has lost five of its last six, but all of the five were by the margin of a single possession. Two were double overtime losses.
The Sycamores' recent frustration can be tied primarily to turnovers. ISU has averaged 18.5 in its last two games. Iona's opponents average 14.2 giveaways per contest.
"We're playing hard, but there are little things in our game plan we're not focusing on as much as we should be. That's why we're losing close games," ISU center Justin Gant said.
Gant isn't overly concerned about his drop in scoring in the second half of the MVC season. Gant's scoring average in February has dipped to 5.3 points per game in February and he's reached double-figure scoring just once in the last 10 contests.
"I want to try and stay aggressive. I want to keep good movement within the offense with cuts and screens, things like that. I'm not always going to get the shot, but my screen can get a teammate open. I'm not worried about my scoring as long as I stay aggressive," Gant said.
Iona is currently tied for fifth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Gaels are led by Lamont "Momo" Jones, who averages 22.9 points per game, the fifth-best total in the nation.
Iona – located in New Rochelle, N.Y., which is just north of New York City – has converted 38.2 percent of its 3-point shots. Sean Armand, Iona's second-leading scorer at 17.7, has made 43.3 percent of his 3-point attempts.
"Armand has a big-time stroke with NBA range. He needs no room and he can get his own off a step-back. You can't give him any room at all and he's strong enough to get the basket," Lansing said.
"Momo is just good. He can score off the bounce and uses how the defense plays him well. He's unbelievable off ball screens, he eats up space and he gets into his defenders and gets to the line," Lansing added.
Iona's up-tempo style is not one that ISU is accustomed to playing against.
"That's the hard thing about it. Not only do they have a really good team with outstanding players, they play a different way than basically every team in our league. It's a lot of things to prepare for," Lansing said. "The play zones, they switch a lot on defense and they score in a variety of ways. It's tough to prepare for them."
The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. It's the first time in the history of the BracketBusters series that ISU is playing in an ESPN-televised game. It'll be the last time as this is the final year of the event in its current form.

Music lovers will not want to miss Fern Hollow Nature Center's annual Fall Music Festival on Saturday, one of its biggest fundraisers for environmental education.
"Unfortunately our sponsorships are down this year so we are hoping for a record turnout," said Sam Capezzuto, executive director at Fern Hollow.
Those in attendance will be moving to the beat and soaking in the sounds of four musical acts. The festival runs from 3 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, with doors opening at 2:30.
"We have a great line up for Saturday and the weather looks like it is going to be a beautiful day," Capezzuto said.
Music for the day includes The Redwood Trio, Leap of Faith, The Turpentiners, and local band Priest, Sage, Rock, and Soul. Prior to the bands will be an open mic session, allowing a showcase of talent.
In addition to music, there will also be tons of children activities including a "hamster ball", U-launcher Angry Bird Game, scavenger hunt, face painting and other activities.
And what's a music festival without food? The event will have lots of food available for purchase including . , and B Gourmet serving a BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich and pasta salad.
Families are welcome to bring a picnic. The event is BYOB.
Money raised from the music festival goes directly toward programming.
"Hopefully next year we will be able to do even more with the local schools and family programming to reach even more and help children discover a world of wonder--nature," Capezzuto said.
Last year, Fern Hollow was able to do the following:
- Added geology programs for fourth graders and sixth graders;
- Presented a one-day watershed/team building program for campers from across the U.S. and Germany attending Bayer Corp.'s Sustainability Camp;
- Hired two part-time educators to help naturalist April Claus with more than 60 school programs serving 3,200 students and 50 family programs serving more than 2,500 people;
- Offered a free weekly play date in the Natural Outdoor Classroom, the first "Natural Play Area" in Pennsylvania and already had more than 300 children participate this summer and are continuing the program during the fall.
- Partnered with The Watson Institute, School of Autism from Presley Ridge, and Quaker Valley's Learning Support program for children and adults with learning and physical disabilities to engage them with nature in the community garden and with other projects around the Nature Center; to name just a few.

Feeling down
I really didn't want to make a new post for this but, feel I need too. I'm feeling quite down. :( The reason is some forum I'm on doesn't like the complaining that I do. JEEZ! So I'm saying bye to that place. Problem is I left before and came back. I figured why I left. Its filled with jerks. HMPH! So in a way to make me feel some what better can you guys and girls post VERY CUTE pics of microbes on here. :)
Thank You.
Hi Fat Cell!:) I'm glad you're back!
I know, this must be a really great forum because many users have said they like it better than any other. I'm not a member of any others, but I've heard this. And, hopefully this forum will help you not feel so down!
P.S. Check out my photos...you have to go to my profile, then click on '10825's Album';)
Thanks. :)
Hey Fat Cell!
Yeah, I know what you mean. Though this is the only forum I've ever enlisted in, I still face lots of jerks daily, especially when I was in middle school. Ugh! It was probably the 3 most terrible years of my life! (except for the third one) But if it wasn't for some pretty cool friends in school, I don't think I would of been able to keep myself sane! Otherwise, over the internet, people who like to say some bad stuff, are just stupid, period. You don't need to listen to what they say, because if they just say lots cuss words, it just means that they severely lack intelligence and can't think of anything smarter to say. :) So all you need are some really good friends, and they'll help you take your mind off people like those. ;)
As for pics, I couldn't! T_T My teachers have been pressing me to do all these projects and stuff at the very LAST minute, and I'm all over here drowning in it!!! I wish I could though!!

The Home Affordable Refinance Program, also referred to as "HARP," helps homeowners refinance their mortgage who otherwise might not qualify. If you're current on your mortgage payments, but your home's value has fallen to a point where you owe more than your home is worth, this program may help.
Current market conditions hit home values especially hard. And, many responsible homeowners have been unable to get traditional refinancing. HARP is designed to help by providing eligible homeowners with more affordable, stable mortgages.
The Home Affordable Refinance Program is part of the federal government's "Making Home Affordable" initiative. According to President Obama, the goal of HARP is "to provide access to low-cost refinancing for responsible homeowners suffering from falling home prices."
By refinancing, responsible homeowners may improve their financial positioning. The Home Affordable Refinance Program can help reduce your monthly principal and interest payments. Or, you may be able to move from a riskier loan, like an interest-only or short-term adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) into a more stable, fixed-rate loan.
This past October 2011, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae made changes to the Home Affordable Refinance Program. Basically, the enhancements make it easier for lenders to refinance the mortgages of eligible borrowers.
Current eligibility qualifications include the following:
For complete details on the Home Affordable Refinance Program details, you should contact your mortgage servicer or another lender approved by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. You should also know you do not have to refinance with your current servicer. You are free to work with any mortgage lender as long as they participate in HARP. Not all servicers participate in the Home Affordable Refinance Program.
Finally, HARP loans require a loan application and underwriting process. When calculating your fees, it's important to make sure that your closing costs do not exceed the savings you'll realize through refinancing. So, even though you're taking advantage of HARP, it's important to compare rates and costs among different mortgage lenders to make sure you get the best terms.

Councilor appreciative
TO THE EDITOR: I would like to extend a big "thank you" to all who the people in Peru who voted for me at the last election.
I'm truly honored that you have supported me for the next four years.
I take my position as Peru councilman very seriously and will do my utmost to keep Peru on a desired successful path for the future. My decisions are based on what is best for whole Town of Peru long term.
Be assured that I am always available, to Peru residents, by phone, email or just by chance meeting on the street. I need and value your input. Thanks again.
Respecting pledge
TO THE EDITOR: I am a student at Plattsburgh High School, and, foremost, I'm an American.
It's because of our founding principles that we have a public school.
It frustrates me, during the announcements at Plattsburgh High School, how many kids will talk during the Pledge of Allegiance. I will never understand why they would do this.
It seems like it's more important talking about what you got at the mall the other day than respecting your country. I don't know why my peers think it's OK to do this.
I was expecting a little more courtesy being taught to them. I have a feeling most of the parents don't teach them that at home or the teachers in school.
TO THE EDITOR: The members of the North Country Cancer Fund would like to extend our gratitude to the Plattsburgh City Firefighters for their generosity.
The firefighters have donated all proceeds from the sale of their "Fighting For a Cure" t-shirts, which exceeds $1,000. You are all truly angels.
100% of this donation will be used to assist North Country residents. So far this year, the North Country Cancer Fund has assisted at least 70 families through their difficult time.

Former environmental lawyer and one-time farmer Cummings offers a persuasive account of a lesser-known but potentially apocalyptic threat to the world's ecology and food supply-the privatization of the Earth's seed stock. For almost a century, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has provided seeds at no cost to farmers who then saved seeds from one harvest to another, eventually developing strains best suited to local or regional climates. But Cummings also tells how seeds became lucrative, patentable private properties for some of the nation's most powerful agribusinesses. Cummings bemoans the "plague of sameness" intensified by the advent of such fitfully regulated companies as Monsanto, which now not only own genetically modified seed varieties, but also sue farmers when wind inevitably blows seeds onto their neighboring fields. According to Cummings, this "tyranny of the technological[ly]elite" threatens agricultural diversity and taints food sources. Among the author's many startling statistics is that 97% of 75 vegetables whose seeds were once available from the USDA are now extinct. Cummings heralds plans for a "Doomsday Vault" to shelter existing natural seed stock, and finds comfort in organic farming's growth, but her authoritative portrait of another way in which our planet is at peril provides stark food for thought.

Those who use Mount Lowe as a place to hike in the Altadena and Pasadena area trek on a place where once thousands gathered to celebrate the opening of Mount Lowe Railway in 1893, a new AOL video in the historically-focused series "What Remains" shows.
The Mount Lowe Railway online video, which is almost four minutes long, juxtaposes an interview with Michael Patris, President and Founder of the Mount Lowe Preservation Society, with old and current images and new video from Mount Lowe to paint a picture of how the once gathering place for the wealthy eventually met its decline and is now just remnants of buildings.
Patris describes Railway creator Thaddeus Lowe as an "infinitely brilliant man, [but] horrible business man" in the video profile, noting that the railway was rarely ever profitable and Lowe eventually went bankrupt.
Fire and flooding destroyed other structures that the railway lead to on Echo Mountain and now the area is home to a hiking trail, crumbling buildings and a plaque recognizing Lowe's railway.
"The [AOL] interview was interesting and the crew was great and enthusiastic," Patris noted in an email. "They were even excited about the prospect of hiking six miles up and back to Echo Mountain (on their own) to shoot some 'B roll' footage. Steve Crise and I met at the Pasadena Museum of History and showed them our current display in the Stork Gallery which runs until January 13th."
Crise and Patris wrote the book, which is the focus of a Pasadena Museum of History exhibit of the same name that is running through Jan. 13.
See the full AOL Mount Lowe video here.
Do you hike at Mount Lowe? What do you think of its history? Do you think the remaining Mount Lowe structures should be preserved or restored?

Treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism in kidney disease: what we know and do not know about use of calcimimetics and vitamin D analogs

Abstract: There is a growing understanding of the pathophysiology of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and a recent emergence of new agents for SHPT treatment in patients with advanced kidney disease. At the same time, appreciation that mineral metabolic derangements promote vascular calcification and contribute to excess mortality, along with recognition of potentially important "non-classical" actions of vitamin D, have prompted the nephrology community to reexamine the use of various SHPT treatments, such as activated vitamin D sterols, phosphate binders, and calcimimetics. In this review, the evidence for treatment of SHPT with calcimimetics and vitamin D analogs is evaluated, with particular consideration given to recent clinical trials that have reported encouraging findings with cinacalcet use. Additionally, several controversies in the pathogenesis and treatment of SHPT are explored. The proposition that calcitriol deficiency is a true pathological state is challenged, the relative importance of the vitamin D receptor and the calcium sensing receptor in parathyroid gland function is summarized, and the potential relevance of non-classical actions of vitamin D for patients with advanced renal disease is examined. Taken collectively, the balance of evidence now supports a treatment paradigm in which calcimimetics are the most appropriate primary treatment for SHPT in the majority of end stage renal disease patients, but which nevertheless acknowledges an important role for modest doses of activated vitamin D sterols.
Keywords: secondary hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D, vitamin D receptor, calcium sensing receptor, calcimimetics, kidney disease

A consultant's report says should cut $23 million in expenses, and at the same time, the school district is well managed.
The suggested cuts will be analyzed further at a March 13 special Board of Education workshop. The report prepared by MGT America, which was hired by Gulf Coast Community Foundation, was released Friday in Venice at a press conference.
Several of the 73 recommendations focus on cutting salaries and looking at collective bargaining issues. Sixteen of the recommendations were identified as having fiscal impact that could represent significant savings over five years if all were adopted.
The study was conducted in November so that any recommendations with fiscal impact could be considered in the district's budget planning for the 2012-2013 school year.
The consultant recommends that the school system works with unions to remove seniority as a basis for personnel assignments, as well as moving to an interest-based bargaining model to prevent locked-in debates during bargaining.
The consultant says that the "process begins with understanding the problem and identifying the interests that underlie each side's issues and positions."
MGT's senior consultant Skip Archibald told WWSB that bargaining issues are hurting the system:
"Union contracts have some provisions in them that really are difficult to administer when you have declining resources you find yourself maybe having to lay people off and so worth. The seniority system is a handicapping condition, and we think they're going to have to review that," Archibald.
Staffing accounts for almost 80 percent of the district budget, according to school officials. Archibald said the recommendations that would yield the largest savings also would be the most difficult to execute because they would involve collective bargaining.
MGT also recommended that the district conduct a comprehensive salary review. Though they recognize that the Sarasota community supports having salaries that attract the best talent, the study said the district should set benchmarks regarding where salaries need to be to achieve that goal.
Superintendent Lori White said in The Herald-Tribune that some cuts could affect the school district's quality. The paper also pointed out that across-the-board raises teachers were recently given was tied to an initiative to provide more planning time:
"The district added 30 minutes to the school day in 2006 to give teachers more time for planning. The move, which included paying teachers more, was one of the district's campaign pledges to get voters to extend the extra 1 mill property tax for local schools, which was approved. Most of the saving would come from lowering salaries.
"Most teachers and administrators feel that additional instruction time is necessary," White said."
She also told WWSB that cutting salaries further would be difficult:
"After multiple years of reducing our staff and even having less compensation, we took more furlough days this year, our teachers have not had an increase, so it's hard times to keep reducing."
The study recommended that the district should create an internal audit function, which would require create new positions, according to the school district, but staff finds that internal auditors could identify areas that would lead to significant savings over time.
Some of the recommendations involved more efficient use of facilities savings in construction costs. It was recommended that the district reduce its inventory of portable classrooms, for example. Again the process would require an investment in the short term but would be expected to yield a savings in the long run.
Archibald said Friday that the report has 73 commendations of best practices that the district follows, which is a significantly larger number than MGT usually identifies.
He said that number is important because the best way for school districts to improve is to build on their strengths. It also should give the community a high level of confidence in the quality of their schools, he said.
Archibald pointed out one area in which the district not only excels, but could be a national model: planning.
"The quality of the planning in the Sarasota County Schools is more than a best practice," he said. "It is a centerpiece that other districts all over the country could adopt to their benefit."
Although school districts are often criticized for having too many administrators, Archibald said Sarasota's administrative staffing generally is in line with best practices around the country. The district has fewer administrators than are generally recommended in central administration and at the high schools.
He said that about 60 percent of the savings from MGT recommendations would be realized in instructional program areas.
White said she appreciates that the community members who initiated the MGT study are sincerely interested in helping Sarasota County students succeed. She said the study is a concrete example of community leaders supporting the district's continuing efforts to improve its already high-quality educational services.
White said the district will look closely at the MGT recommendations to see if they can be implemented without impairing programs.
"It's always a balancing act," she said.
White said it was helpful to have a new set of eyes look for areas where continuing budget reductions can be made, but the implementing the MGT recommendations will require very hard decisions.
"I wish there was some low-hanging fruit that we missed," she said, "but there wasn't."
The entire MGT report is posted on the district website at www.SarasotaCountySchools.net.

NEWBURYPORT | When Arthur S. Page walks through Newburyport's bustling downtown these days, in his mind he can still see what the city's commercial center looked like 50 years ago.
"Newburyport was in bad shape," Page recalled in a recent interview. "Inn Street looked like a bombed-out street in Europe after World War II. All the buildings were in bad repair. Many of them were uninhabitable."
But if the once-thriving city had fallen on hard times by the 1950s, the insurance company Page had taken over from his father was booming. It had outgrown its office space on Pleasant Street, and Page was looking for a new office location. In 1959 he moved into the building at 57 State St., and shortly afterward began renovating the building, an early investment in a struggling downtown that was still a decade away from its comprehensive revitalization.
"I'd like to think that I was far-sighted and I was investing in the downtown because I saw all the changes coming," Page said. "But that's not true. In 1960, I was 31 years old, and I didn't know any better. I just needed the space."
The building at 57 State St. had been built in 1853. A hardware store originally occupied the first two floors, while the top floor housed Newburyport's Company A Cushing Guard, a unit that later distinguished itself in the Civil War battle of Antietam. Over the next 24 years, the building changed hands several times, being used for a period as a carpet warehouse.
In 1877, the building was bought for $8,300 by the local post of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization for veterans of the Civil War. A severe gale blew the roof off the building in 1882, and it underwent renovations. As the generation of Civil War veterans began to die through the early 20th century and membership in the Grand Army of the Republic diminished, the building was transferred to its successor organization | the Sons of Union Veterans | which continued to use the top floors of the building, leasing the ground floor to a dry-goods store.
By the 1950s, however, the building was in very bad shape.
"The roof was leaking and needed to be completely replaced," Page said. "The boiler had to be replaced. The facade was in terrible shape, downright dangerous. There were these heavy brownstone lintels over the windows that were falling down on the street."
Using a design by Newburyport architect Russell Peirce, Page hired Newbury contractor Robert Bashaw to replace the facade, roof, window and boilers. He installed a flag pole, the first erected in the city in a long time, and on his wife's advice he planted window boxes on all three floors. Page estimates the renovations cost about $20,000 at the time.
Page wasn't actively involved in the planning or execution of the massive federal renewal project of the '60s and '70s, but his decision to revitalize his own patch of downtown served as an inspiration to others, and a hint of what could be accomplished. A few years after the rebirth of 57 State St., the First and Ocean Bank building down the street (now occupied by Banknorth) undertook its own renovation.
Page retired in 1993, but the business that bears his name still occupies the building he brought back to life. It is run by his granddaughter, Jacqueline Bradley.
"I still have that old nostalgic feeling when I walk around town and think of how it's changed," Page said. "I take a great deal of pride in having been a part of it."

Looking Back…
Actually this post is nearly a couple of weeks in delay (last week I was skiing in at the Italian Dolomites!!). (Un)fortunately now that I am back to home (and to work), I have choosen this Friday The 13th, while preparing my traditional Cyber Attacks Master Index for the first half of January 2012, to give a quick look to the past year in terms of my blogging activity in order to discover which where the posts which collected most views (more than 60,000 in total), of course excluding the home page.
As you will easily notice the articles related to cyber attack statistics dominate the Top 10. For sure it is not a coincidence that some of the included articles were also quoted by leading security firms such as Kaspersky and IBM). Of course, for a correct interpretation of the chart you should also consider the period of the year in which each article was written (before the article is written, greater is the number of potential readers) and also the fact that the master index is continuously updated.

Yes, the post dedicated to Android Malware ranked undoubtely at number 1 (it even deserved a mention on Engadget) but also the Cyber Attacks Master index "performed well" even if at a great distance (but it was destined for a more professional audience) being quoted in many information security forums.
At rank number 3 there is a summer post dedicated to cyber attacks targeting contractors (clearly it is updated to August and could not include STRATFOR), which, actually a surprise for me, gained an unexpected attention under the Dog Days (a prolific period for blogging).
Clearly my readers have shown a great interest for security statistics, since in order to find a more technical article we have to browse the chart until number 4 with my post dedicated to TCP Split Handshake. In that circumstance I forced myself to investigate the question since when I first stumbled upon it after the NSS report (and the consequent turmoil) I must confess I had never heard about it.
Again statistics at ranks number 5, 6, and 7, until number 8 which is hold by a post dedicated to a scam targeting Twitter and mobile users. At that time the scam lured so many victims, who consequently "googled" the phrase "This made me laugh so hard when i saw this about you lol" (the symptom of the scam) and were hence redirected to that article.
A particular mention is also deserved by the Social Espionage at number 9, dealing with the threats hidden behind social networks: the Social Network Poisoning seen from the perspective of several resounding examples such as Primoris Era and Robin Sage.
In any case, forgive me if I could not do it before, I really would like to say thank you to all the Information Security Professionals who inspired my work (which I decided to quote in a very special manner)…
But most of all I want to say thank you to all the readers who stumbled upon my blog and decided to keep on reading (and retweeting) the articles regularly. Hope they will find in 2012 the same level of interest shown in the past year. Since it is not so easy to conciliate my professional and personal life with my blogging activity (thanks to my wife Romina for her patience), their appreciation is the scope of my work and a crucial driver to improve the level of quality…

Nashua house fire victim is identified
"The cause of his death is smoke inhalation. The manner of his death is still pending," said Max Shultz, assistant state fire marshal.
"We have to wait for all of the laboratory results. It could take anywhere from one to two months to determine his manner of death," Shultz said on Friday. "I cannot give you an origin or cause of the fire at this point."
Shultz said Demeusy, 65, an occupant of the residence on Carlisle Road, was found in an upstairs bedroom of the charred home.
Shultz refused to comment on why the fire was so unusual, also refusing to explain the explosion that took place inside of the two-story house.
City tax records identify the property owner as Clara G. Demeusy.
Fire officials said the Demeusy family is receiving assistance from their church organization.

text: Postpartum depression (PPD) is a serious public health concern that threatens the health and well-being of mothers and their young children. Consistent evidence has shown that maternal depression is associated with poor parenting skills, and offspring of depressed mothers are at significantly greater risk for a variety of developmental problems. Numerous studies have supported the efficacy of group-based therapy approaches for treating PPD. Treatments targeting reduction of depression as well as treatments targeting enhancement of parenting skills have been separately tested, but these treatment approaches have not been well integrated. Thus, efforts to teach parenting skills without first reducing depression may result in limited gains that are not maintained outside of therapy. On the other hand, treatments that focus on the depression alone, while effective in providing relief from symptoms, may be inadequate for reversing dysfunctional parenting behaviors. The primary objective of this project is to examine the effectiveness of a combined treatment protocol that first targets depressive symptoms and then focuses on improving the quality of the mother-infant relationship.

Logan planes sent to Manchester after airport fire
The Manchester airport had refueled four planes as of 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and was scheduled to refuel three more Tuesday night should repairs at Logan not be completed, said J. Brian O'Neill, deputy airport director.
"Manchester is fully capable of handling these diversions," he said.
O'Neill said Manchester could continue to accept planes today if needed.
According Massachusetts Port Authority, the operator of Logan, the fire broke out about 5 p.m. and was under control a half-hour later.
"There are no injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation. As a safety precaution, use of the underground fuel system has been temporarily suspended. Passengers should check with their airline on flight status before heading to the airport," the port authority said in a statement.

Joy in the everyday: Resting when I need to.
(Note: sorry for misspelling my title twice this week. Haha, in case you didn't notice I put "everday" instead of "everyday." I make an effort to edit my posts, but apparently I didn't do a great job at looking over my titles. Opps! I apologize!)
The news is slowly leaking out. I am in the very early stages of baby number two!
Fatigue has been starting to set in, but it's not nearly as bad as it was when Asher was still waking up twice at night….for 8 months.
I heard all the tips in my first pregnancy of resting when you feel tired. You know, common sense. But this time I'm actually making it a goal to rest for at least 20 minutes if I'm tired. After mostly putting it into practice it's been great! Who isn't happier when they're well rested?
Resting, and taking a break, has been difficult for me to accept in much of my life. But this time around, I'm not going to play the super hero. I'm not going to feel guilty for getting less done, or for legitimately taking a break.
An older women in my life told me to rest when my baby does. Common advice, yes, but sometimes when just the right person says it, it has the power to "give you permission" to rest.
I think many, many people have told me to rest when the baby does, but for some reason it didn't matter as much to me as it did when this women said it. I think this time was different, because I had shared my heart to her, and was asking for prayer over my sleep…to be able to go to bed early, and rise early so I could wake before the baby. Somehow her advise seemed like the words of God, instead of a condescending instruction, or a tired phrase.
Anyways, I have found freedom in rest, and joy in having permission to do so.
I don't want to justify my actions. Because, no, I won't be that pregnant lady that sits on her butt all day. That's not what I'm saying at all. In fact, I have been making daily exercise a priority, and want to start right with this pregnancy, so I have been as active as possible.
Going to bed early has been the number one way I've been gaining rest. I find if I go to bed past a certain hour, I just can't fall asleep. I've been waking up earlier than ever, but feel very rested because of this. I aim for around 9 hours of sleep!
Have an awesome day,

Wheelchair bound woman runs off after being arrested for fraud
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A wheelchair-bound Los Angeles woman, who has repeatedly filed lawsuits over access for the disabled, got up and ran after police arrested her for fraud, authorities said on Thursday.
Laura Lee Medley, 35, had sued in at least four California cities over injuries she claimed she sustained while trying to navigate her wheelchair before she was suspected of fraud.
Medley, who claimed to be paralyzed from a drunk driving accident, was tracked to Las Vegas where police there took her into custody and then, when she complained of medical issues, to a local hospital, Long Beach prosecutor Belinda Mayes said.
"She gets to the hospital and while she's waiting for an examination, she gets up from the chair and runs," Mayes said. "Somebody remarked, 'That's where the great miracle occurred.'"
Medley sprinted through the hospital corridors but was quickly apprehended by police and booked pending extradition to San Bernardino, southern California, where she is facing charges of filing false documents, attempted grand theft and insurance fraud.
Medley has sued the cities of Long Beach and South Pasadena and counties of San Bernardino and Riverside over various injuries she claimed she sustained in her wheelchair. She was also being sought on arrest warrants by the states of Oregon and Washington, Mayes said.
