Parent Describes Discovering Daughter OK
By: Michael C. Fehn
Updated: December 14, 2012
Frantic parents rushed to the school to check on their children. One woman holding her two children outside the school said she was stunned that the shooting had happened in her town.
The father of one 8-year-old student says his daughter heard two loud bangs, before teachers huddled her and other students into a corner.
A photo posted by the Newtown Bee newspaper showed a group of children -- some crying, others visibly frightened -- being escorted by adults through a parking lot in a line, with their hands on each other's shoulders.

Remember: Twitter.com is getting nowhere but to become BIGGER!
So if you are really serious about this business, STOP ME from selling these individually and just BUY EVERYTHING for only –

Care Cares
What a super fun surprise in my mailbox! (I also thought about titling this post "My Dealer Delivered")
Why did I arrange them this way? I don't know. I was losing light quickly, and wanted Care to know that the package had arrived. And why do I think you need to see my toes? I don't know. I like little tiny bits of people.
I think my favorite of these prints is the pencils. In high school one of my AP art portfolios was centered on pencils. I think my teacher was worn out on the theme by project #3 in that series, but by the time I had finished the year I still wasn't done. In college I made sterling silver and garnet hair sticks that looked like pencils.
Aaanyway, this tangible bit in my mailbox as a result of blogging is sort of a bloggy friend theme in my life right now. If all goes well, I'll meet up with another bloggy friend in REAL LIFE tomorrow. And by "if all goes well" I mean "if she doesn't go into labor first." Adrianna is totally jealous. Of the get-together, not the threat of labor.
Thanks Care! You made my day! And if all reallllly goes well, we'll close on our house tomorrow, which will mean that I can start crafting again soon. Halleluia. Home decor projects-- on the way! Ummm... after I do some I Spying....

Found Treasure
I'm always on the lookout for vintage jewelry. I check antique stores, garage sales, eBay and Etsy, anywhere I can find a good deal. I wear some of them, attach them to pillows around the house and I use them in art. If I happen to find a fish, seashell or starfish I know it will work perfect in my mermaid compacts, I'll use a star burst shape in my beach tins and I can always use flowers and leaves. But crowns, I know I can use them in art and I have but for some reason I'd rather just look at them, so many different shapes, sizes and stones. Enjoy your collection of Bling! ♥♥♥

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh coasted to big wins over Harvard and Brown on Saturday, giving it a 3-0 weekend in its return to Leeman-Turner Arena at Grace Hall for the first time in two months. Lehigh took the lead against Harvard just by putting a wrestler on the mat at 125, and the Crimson would never come closer, as the Brown and White ran away with a 38-3 victory. The Mountain Hawks followed that up with a decisive 29-7 victory over Brown in the second match of the day, to move to 19-1 in dual meets this season.
"It was a big difference," said Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro, in comparing his team's performance on Saturday to its performance in Friday night's win over Drexel. "They really stepped it up today. They wrestled hard and that's what we're looking for. They responded well. They're competitors and they weren't happy with their performance last night so they wrestled really well today."
Already leading 26-3, the Mountain Hawks faithful came to their feet when No. 15 David Craig recorded the marquee win of the afternoon over No. 7 Louis Caputo. Craig trailed 2-0 in the third period, but the junior got on the board with an escape at the 1:00 mark. With eight seconds left on the clock, Craig finished off the comeback and incited the loudest ovation of the day in Leeman-Turner Arena scoring a takedown to earn the 3-2 win.
Kellen Aura recorded a victory at 125 just by making weight, as Harvard was forced to forfeit the opening bout of the afternoon. The Mountain Hawks would go on to win the next three bouts to take an 18-0 lead and never looked back.
No. 16 Matt Fisk took a 1-0 lead in the second period with an escape, and added to that advantage in the third period. Fisk slipped Thomas Picarsic into a cradle and came away with the near fall and ran away with a 7-2 victory.
At 141, Seth Ciasulli made sure not to waste any time giving Lehigh a commanding lead. The junior from Easton grabbed a quick takedown and wrenched Johnny Motley's shoulders over to record the fall just 37 seconds into the match.
No. 4 J.P. O'Connor gave Harvard its first victory of the afternoon, but it wasn't easy for the junior for the Crimson. Sean Bilodeau gave O'Connor his money's worth, staying in the match throughout. Trailing 3-2 after a stalling call against O'Connor, Bilodeau made a valiant effort to score a last-second reversal, but he ran out of time and Harvard scored its first points of the day.
Brandon Hatchett came in as a late substitution for No. 14 Mike Galante, but Lehigh didn't skip a beat with the freshman entering the lineup. Hatchett scored three takedowns in the first period, including a fireman's carry on the third that gave him a 6-2 lead after one in what would be an easy 17-5 major decision.
No. 15 Alex Caruso continued the Lehigh dominance by recording six takedowns in the first period. The sophomore Mountain Hawk rolled to a 20-8 major decision over Patrick Ziemnik, putting Lehigh up 26-3.
After Craig's comeback win at 184, Joe Kennedy kept the momentum rolling by recording a fall at 197. The freshman from Milford, Pa. wasted no time, sweeping in for the takedown and rolling Sean Murphy over for the fall just 2:42 into the bout. No. 20 Zach Rey finished off the first half of the doubleheader on a positive note with a dominating 10-3 decision over Andrew Knapp.
In the second match of the afternoon, Lehigh fell behind early when Aura took a major decision loss to Greg Einfrank. But Fisk set the Mountain Hawks back on track in the next bout, with a 15-2 major decision of his own over Ross Baldwin to tie up the overall score.
Ciasulli survived at 141 for a 4-2 decision. The junior held off a late charge by Steve DeLorenzo and used his riding time as insurance in the win.
Chinn continued his banner day – after a pin in the opening match against Harvard – by recording a techical fall at 4:52 over Dave Foxen. Chinn recorded takedown after takedown and racked up the back points as he kept Foxen on his back for much of the bout. Chinn swept in for a takedown with eight seconds left in the second period to record the 17-2 victory.
In his first match of the day, Brian Tanen filled in nicely for Bilodeau, scoring a 7-4 decision over Bryan Tracy. Tracy made one last effort to score at the end of the bout, but Tanen held off the Harvard grappler for the win at 157.
Galante used a tactical approach to record a 14-4 major decision at 165. Galante continually took down Chris Musser and let him back up, looking at the official to signal the escape before immediately going in for another takedown.
Caruso won his second match of the day by scoring six points in the third period over Bran Crudden. The bout was scoreless entering the final frame, but Caruso scored an escape and two takedowns, adding riding time for the 6-1 victory at 174. Craig locked up his second victory of the day with a big takedown in the final minute to seal a 6-2 win over Matt Gevelinger at 184.
Branden Stearns broke Lehigh's seven-bout winning streak by scoring a late reversal to knock off Joe Kennedy, 3-2, at 197. But once again, Rey ensured the fans would go home on a positive note by earning a 16-4 major decision over Leo Saniuk at 285.
Bonus points: Lehigh fans were treated to music performed by J-Wok and the Pedestrians…The Mountain Hawks' faithful also took time to honor its historic 100 seasons by welcoming back the school's national champion wrestlers and historic coaches. Two coaches and eight wrestlers were in attendance for the event…Lehigh is now a combined 32-1 against Harvard, Drexel and Brown in duals since 1997-98.

"I did write for a while in spite of them; but it does exhaust me a good deal—having to be so sly about it, or else meet with heavy opposition."
--Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "The Yellow Wallpaper"

Today's Random Thoughts
This morning the kids were with their dad and I had plenty of time to get ready. But, we were still a little late to church. Oops. After the kids got here we decided to print off some of the activities from the new copy of the Friend magazine so we wouldn't have fights about who got to use it at church, and printing several different PDFs and needing to change the ink cartridge ending up taking a while. Oh well--everyone was entertained and happy at church.
After the first prayer on the sacrament ended, P.Bibby excitedly said "I need to go to class!" and got ready to go. She was very, very sad when I told her it wasn't time yet, and we had to go out in the hall to calm down for a while. She really, really loves her nursery class (and her teachers are great) and I love the fact that she is so enthusiastic about going to class every week.
We had two great talks in sacrament meeting, including one from a young man who recently returned from a mission. He actually grew up in South Carolina and his parents moved here while he was gone, and he told a funny story about trying to find the stake center and having the exact same experience that I did when I first moved here. Yes, there are three stake centers within a block of each other. We are spoiled.
This afternoon I made the kids clean up the basement playroom before they could have computer time. I don't usually like to do cleaning like that on Sunday, but they weren't here yesterday and the basement was truly abominable. I'm really hoping to get a job some time soon that will allow me to be home when the kids are home more often; lately I feel like I'm at work when they're here and home when they are at school. I've decided that if I haven't found an 'ideal' job by July, I'll start applying for 'any' job so I can have a more regular, full-time schedule by the time school starts in the fall. I also think I need to cut back on their extra activities; I didn't think S-Boogie had too many things going on, but she's got something almost every day after school and I don't like it.
My home teachers came over this afternoon and we had a nice visit. They are excited to help assemble the playground I bought with my Jeopardy! money. I think putting it together will be kind of fun, but it is also a daunting project. The playground parts were delivered in a giant wooden crate that came on the back of a truck earlier this week, so I have a feeling it's going to take an hour or two just to get everything unpacked and sorted.
After church I noticed that P.Bibby had a pretty bad rash on her neck and under her chin. I finally figured out that I had put a new shirt on under her dress and had not washed the shirt first, so it must have been irritating her. She has slightly sensitive skin but I've never noticed her being bothered by her clothes before. I hope it's just that the shirt was new and unwashed; I did give her a bath and put some of our new favorite skin cream on it so hopefully it will look better in the morning.
This evening I called my brother about something else and we had a half-hour long conversation about poop. He bought the book I referenced in my last post and he's going to pass the book on to me so I can read the whole thing. Talking with him more really convinced me that getting Little Dude's bathroom habits re-trained could solve a lot of his other issues. I don't know how much fun that will be for either of us, but I'm prepared to bribe him with new Legos if that's what it takes.
Tonight we had Family Home Evening and it was a lot of fun. We used to just put P.Bibby to bed and do it without her, but for the last few months she's been participating and having a great time. Tonight we let her pick the songs and she requested 'snowman' and 'head, shoulders, knees, and toes'. I love the stuff she learns in nursery. S-Boogie was in charge of the lesson and she decided that we needed to write "homonym poems". At first I admit that I tried to get her to do a more spiritual lesson, but then I decided that I didn't care and we just had fun. I wrote "A moose ate eight cups of mousse. Whether the weather was good or bad, he never heard his herd." S-Boogie wrote "Three free witches which ate eight whole donut holes went to the moose's mousse restaurant." The kids thought it was hilarious.
And I really need to go to bed! I say that every night. I spent a lot of time tonight cleaning and preparing for tomorrow. My schedule lately is really intense on Mondays and Tuesdays. Monday morning I teach for an hour, then I work at the library from twelve to nine. Then on Tuesday morning I'm back at the library from nine to two. My week feels really front-loaded. If I can make it through Tuesday the rest of the week feels great, but sometimes those looking at those two days on the calendar makes me stress out. At least there are only four more weeks in the semester. Yay!

Oh, I think that saving all the random thoughts for one long blog is much more entertaining than dribbling it out, bit by bit, on Facebook! P-bibby is becoming quite the little personality, huh? And I love the homonyms creativity. So cool that they know the whole concept so well. Also, the dancing video was terrific!!

Yeah, I like the compilation of updates, but I like your stuff on FB too. ;) What a cute idea for FHE. It always makes me feel better when someone admits that their FHEs aren't as spiritual as they think they ought to be. Because ours sure aren't! And I need to remind myself that sometimes just having fun together is far more important than any lesson I could (attempt to) give.

Mission Statement
Louis Lavoie of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada
Louis Lavoie saves power and moisture with his
5710 Air Hoe Drill
Initially, Louis Lavoie was performing his spring seeding with a 5710 Air Hoe Drill equipped with a single shoot air kit. After analyzing the costs savings associated with one pass seeding, Louis realized that one pass was the way to go. In the spring of 2000, Louis added double shoot boots and a double shoot air kit to his 40' 5710 and 3195 Air Seeder. To pull the seeding unit Louis used a 280 horsepower Versatile 876 tractor.
In 2001, Louis changed out the double shoot boots for Bourgault Mid Row Banders® and ¾" knives. With the Mid Row Banders, Louis was also able to switch to anhydrous ammonia from dry fertilizer which meant he could seed considerably more acres with his 3195 tank between fills.
Louis had this to say about his MRB® experience.
"The Mid Row Banders added little draft. In fact, there was not a big difference between the MRB system and the single shoot configuration. This year with Mid Row Banders my 876 had plenty of power plus I had a 1500 gallon anhydrous tank behind the Air Seeder. The reduced fuel consumption proves to me that my tractor is not working as hard. I really appreciate ability to safely put down as much NH3 as I liked with the Mid Row Banders. Because the NH3 is delivered to you, it is also very convenient as long as you have cell phone handy."
"I am really happy with how well the Mid Row Banders perform. The field finish with a Mid Row Bander system is really determined by the seed openers, because the banders do not disturb much soil. I experience good emergence because I can use a use a narrow knife to make a proper seedbed and produce a good field finish. Although this year was an extremely dry year, the moisture conserved by the MRB system resulted in good yields and high protein levels. If I had was still using conventional tillage the result would have been terrible."

Two thoughts: first, lignin is a fantastic material, a natural, carbohydrate resin, that could be the feedstock for an entire industry that could replace petrochemicals. Kudos to this research. Second, where wind and solar electricity generation are most applicable, neither are intermittent sources of power. On the steppelands of the world, wind is virtually omnipresent. Solar thermal systems can store energy in phase change materials, but wind turbines would be most efficient in a modernized grid where turbines could be turned on and off as needed, thus turning them into sources of both baseload and peaking power. Excess power from wind turbines could also be used in the Haber-Bosch nitrogen fertilizer synthesis process instead of using natural gas, as at present.
THE main problem with both wind and solar energy is not their cost (which is falling satisfactorily with every passing year) but their intermittency. Supplying power to the grid when the air is calm or the sun below the horizon means storing a surplus when the day is blustery and the sun is up. And, at the moment, this is expensive.
Cheap and abundant materials for making batteries, though, might change that. Which is why a paper in this week's Science, by Grzegorz Milczarek of Poznan University of Technology, in Poland, and Olle Inganas of Linköping University, in Sweden, may prove important. For these two researchers propose making one of a battery's three components, its cathode, out of the waste from paper mills.
A battery—any battery—consists of two electrodes (an anode and a cathode) and an electrolyte. Current, in the form of positive ions such as protons (the nuclei of hydrogen atoms), flows through the electrolyte from anode to cathode while a balancing current of electrons, which are negatively charged, makes the same journey via an external circuit. The electrons can be employed, before they return to the battery, to do useful work. To recharge the battery, electrons are pushed in the other direction by (say) the current from a solar cell and the ions are thus drawn back whence they came.
Electrolytes are often made of simple, abundant (and therefore cheap) chemicals. The electrodes, however, are not. They usually require metals (lead, zinc, nickel or lithium, for example) whose cost renders so-called grid-scale batteries prohibitively expensive. Making cheaper electrodes would be a big step towards grid-scale batteries and that is what, in the case of the cathode, Dr Milczarek and Dr Inganas hope they have done.
A good cathode material must be capable of receiving and storing charge, in the form of positive ions and electrons, in large amounts. Lignin, one of the two main components of wood, can be modified to do just that. And lignin is cheap. Paper is made mainly of cellulose, the other component of wood, so the effluent from paper mills, known as black or brown liquor, is mainly water and lignin.
The reason Dr Milczarek and Dr Inganas thought lignin molecules suitable for cathodes was that they are rich in chemical groups called phenols, and phenols are easily turned into related groups called quinones. It is these quinones that are the crucial components. In combination with a second type of chemical called a polypyrrole, they provide just the sort of electron and proton receptors a cathode requires. Polypyrroles are not as cheap as lignin, but compared with metals they are not expensive.
And so it proved. The two researchers' measurements suggest the lignin-polypyrrole combination does, indeed, make an effective cathode, able to store a lot of charge. These are early days, obviously. But if someone could now come up with an equally cheap anode, the age of the wooden battery—and with it the age of reliable, always-on alternative energy—might yet dawn.

Mary Siegfried is a senior writer for Inside Supply Management®.
January 2013, Inside Supply Management® Vol. 24, No. 1, page 34
Economists expect slow, steady economic growth in 2013 amid worries in the U.S. and around the world.
Predicting how the U.S. economy will perform involves detailed analyses of myriad facts, figures and projections. However, as economists peer into the crystal ball for 2013, after a bruising election and a yearlong roller-coaster ride of economic reports, many also are taking into account the mood of the country. That's why this year's economic forecast hinges as much on business, and consumer confidence and uncertainty as it does on statistics.
The economic outlook for 2013 is shaped by what took place in 2012 — a year marked by slow growth, leadership uncertainty in the nation's capital, fear of the "fiscal cliff," worry over Europe and China, and ongoing turmoil in the Middle East. With the election in the history books and the hope of avoiding the fiscal cliff, economists are predicting modest upswings in the economy's performance. Estimates from economists interviewed by Inside Supply Management® range from 2 percent to an optimistic 3.2 percent GDP growth.
"It is uncertainty that is holding the economy back," says William Dunkelberg, professor of economics and former dean of the School of Business and Administration at Temple University in Philadelphia. "Consumers don't have a lot of confidence because they are unsure of their incomes, while businesses face uncertainty over economic conditions and government regulations and tax policy."
Even Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist for The Economic Outlook Group in Princeton, New Jersey, who admits to being more optimistic about the economy in 2013, predicting 3.2 percent growth, says business leaders and consumers "are basically being held hostage to the multitude of uncertainties" ranging from future tax policy to geopolitical risks.
Dunkelberg adds that he expects "a little better" performance in the economy this year. "We are slowly resolving the imbalances in our economy and cleaning up some problems. From that perspective, I believe it can move forward."
Moving forward is what economists and business experts are hoping for the economy this year, with growth occurring in slow spurts in manufacturing, services, housing and employment.
Manufacturing. The manufacturing sector has been a bright spot in the economy since the recovery began and is a key driver of economic activity, says William A. Strauss, senior economist and economic adviser for the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. He expects continued increases in manufacturing, noting that some forecasts have industrial output rising by 3 percent.
Strauss says inventory levels influenced manufacturing growth over the past few years. "Some of the robust growth witnessed over the past three years took place because manufacturers overdid it during the downturn and depleted inventory," he says. "The growth was a bullwhip effect — snapping up those output levels to rebuild depleted inventory." He says as inventory levels balance, future manufacturing growth must occur from demand in the United States and around the world.
He also points out that predicting optimistic growth in manufacturing can be deceiving because it is a broad category. "Just because manufacturing is expected to go up doesn't necessarily mean your business is increasing," he says. Strauss says he is not optimistic about manufacturers in printing or paper, for example, but is optimistic for steel producers and other industries focusing on low-cost natural gas. He adds that growth in the natural gas industry could be a spark that ignites the economy now and in the future.
Services. Dunkelberg, who also serves as chief economist for the National Federation of Independent Business, says the services industry could make a difference in the economy in 2013. He says healthcare is one area that has shown improvement and could be a bright spot for the sector. Strauss adds the services sector is usually a dominant part of the economy, but in an economic environment that is growing moderately, the chance for growth in services is not strong. He predicts services will just keep pace with overall economic growth, or may lag because of slow job growth.
Housing. Dunkelberg expects housing and construction to do better in 2013, with an estimated 850,000 housing starts. "That is short of where we need to be," he notes. "But we had several months of price increases in housing at the end of 2012, and once rising values appear sustainable, housing will pick up more." He also points out new housing starts will stimulate the economy because the housing/construction sector is labor-intensive.
Strauss agrees the housing market is showing signs of recovery. He says it usually measures about 4.5 percent of GDP, but is weighing in at 2.5 percent. This sector was hit hard and "even with double-digit growth, it will take a while for it to recover," he adds.
Employment. If there is one economic factor experts agree on, it is the need for job growth. "If you ask what will pull us out of this slow economy, it is the labor market," Strauss emphasizes. The U.S. has recovered only 47 percent of the jobs lost since 2008, he says. "The job market is in worse shape than the housing market. Even if the economy creates 150,000 jobs a month, it will take about seven years just to reach the level it should be." Economists agree the unemployment rate will hover around 8 percent to 8.5 percent in 2013 because the number of jobs being created is not enough to make a substantial dent in the rate of growth.
Baumohl of The Economic Outlook Group believes President Barack Obama's reelection will produce economic growth in 2013. "What we will see is Obama focusing more on his legacy. We will see him give ground away from his left base and move toward the center." Baumohl also expects less obstructionism in Congress and a "more earnest effort to deal with the budget crisis" as moderate Republicans shift to the center, as well, after Mitt Romney's loss. He also believes Obama will reappoint Ben Bernanke Federal Reserve chair in 2014. However, if Bernanke steps down, Obama will choose someone who shares Bernanke's philosophy of keeping interest rates as low as possible to "reassure financial markets."
"We are looking at the economy creating 2.5 million new jobs compared with 1.5 million last year," says Baumohl. "Once the outlook improves after the election is over, I think hiring freezes will be removed and companies will be a bit more comfortable ramping up employment. The unknowns and uncertainties will begin to disappear."
Baumohl outlines three reasons he is upbeat for 2013:
Whether their forecasts focus on slow or improved growth, economists agree that oil and food inflation, uncertain demand and geopolitical risks are the challenges looming for supply management professionals.
Inflation should not be a major factor, economists agree, except in the energy and food sectors. Strauss predicts inflation rates will remain at 2 percent or lower, largely due to a lack of demand pressure. Dunkelberg says the same is true with commodity prices, which he doesn't expect to increase dramatically until demand picks up.
Economists acknowledge there are concerns over the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing policy, which increases the money supply by flooding financial institutions with capital. "Some think it is going to be inflationary, but the financial sector, through its lending operations, ultimately creates the money supply," Strauss explains. "The problem is the financial sector is not lending much for a host of reasons, relating to both supply and demand. We are expecting that to improve, although it is a gradual process." He stresses that the Federal Reserve has the ability to act quickly based on how it sees the economy evolving. "We can be very responsive," he says.
Baumohl says food inflation is a worry because of the drought in the U.S. and other countries such as Russia and Argentina. He expects food inflation to rise twice as fast as general inflation, translating into a 5 percent increase in retail food prices. He says oil prices may rise in expectation of the global economy picking up as well as instability in the Middle East. "Keep in mind that we would not see US$95 to $100 per barrel of oil if we did not have Iran to worry about," Baumohl points out. "If the threat of a nuclear Iran was not hanging over the international economy, we would see prices at least $15 per barrel lower."
However, the Iranian threat and others are reasons economists say supply managers should not let their guard down when it comes to risk management. And those risks are coming from the U.S. and abroad.
The fiscal cliff. This term is used to describe automatic tax increases and spending cuts that would take effect early this year if Congress and the president fail to come up with a deficit reduction plan. The threat has been casting a long, dark shadow over the economy for months, and economists predict it will continue to cast a pall over the country into early 2013. They also strongly agree if the economy is allowed to fall off the cliff, it will push the U.S. into a recession.
"But in the final analysis, no politician wants to have blood on his or her hands for causing a recession," Baumohl says. "Such a Washington-induced recession, caused by paralysis in policy, is completely and totally avoidable. And, the American public knows it."
Strauss agrees the fiscal cliff is avoidable and, once it is resolved, "the economy will not be as uncertain as it has been," allowing businesses to focus on growth without worrying about public policy.
Geopolitical risks. Baumohl says there are numerous global concerns that can be thrown into the "economic worry cauldron" — debt crisis in Europe, military confrontation in the Persian Gulf, buildup of tensions in the Western Pacific over oil-rich islands and a slowing Chinese economy. All could take their toll on worldwide supply chains.
Economists agree the debt crisis in Europe will continue but believe the European Central Bank's stance on buying debt from troubled countries means the worst is over. "Europe will still lurch from one problem to the next for a year or two," Baumohl predicts. "But the collapse of the eurozone is less of a threat." He forecasts growth in the eurozone at 1 percent, up from a nearly 1 percent contraction in 2012.
The slowdown in China's economy is a concern for supply managers, Dunkelberg says, because it is an important market for many U.S. companies. He says China will continue to grow, "but by how much is the real question." Baumohl notes the Chinese government has demonstrated it can move quickly to implement monetary and fiscal tools to prevent a sharp economic slowdown. Dunkelberg adds, "I don't see a big change in their economy. But there will be slower growth, more of a pause than anything else."
With the negativity of the election year behind us, economists hope Washington can create a sense of stability and certainty that will allow the economy to gain strength in 2013. Baumohl believes improved clarity will lead to greater confidence, which can translate into positive actions by businesses, including investing and hiring.

Are You Considering Contemporary Toilets And Other Appliances?
Giving your home's decor a reboot can be a great way to feel like you are living in a brand new space without having to undergo extensive repairs and remodeling. Many people seek out modern furniture and contemporary decor to update their home's look and enjoy some new features while keeping their homes in line with new housing trends. Updating your home's appliances to fixtures such as contemporary toilets, showers and kitchen appliances can also help you to save money on your monthly utility bills. In fact, if you are undergoing a bathroom remodel and are considering the installation of contemporary toilets, showers, sinks and vanities, conducting a little research can help you to better understand how these types of contemporary appliances can make your living environment a little more enjoyable.
One of the best places to find out about contemporary toilets and other bathroom fixtures is by using internet resources. In fact, you can conduct a simple internet search to provide you with retailers that offer contemporary toilets and other appliances. Many families and individuals decide to update their bathrooms with contemporary toilets for a variety of reasons, each of which is highlighted at retailers' websites. For example, contemporary toilets come in a variety of designs. You can choose standard floor mounted contemporary toilets to compliment your current bathroom decor. However, keeping other factors in mind can provide you with more options. Are you looking to remodel your bathroom in order to make room for a new shower or corner bathtub? In these cases, you can research wall mounted contemporary toilets in order to help you maximize space in your home's bathroom. Additionally, you can find various design styles for these kinds of contemporary toilets. You can research various shape options, such as square or circular, in order to enhance other design structures you are looking to implement in your bathroom. Contemporary toilets are also available in a variety of colors and materials through various outlets online.
One of the most desirable features in contemporary toilets is the control that the owner has over the amount of water these appliances use. The typical standard toilet uses far more water per flush than most contemporary toilets—in fact, you can research options where you can set the amount of water used per flush. In implementing these contemporary toilets, you may be able to drastically cut down on your water usage.

Pedestrian safety addressed in Nether Providence
NETHER PROVIDENCE — Another step toward improved pedestrian safety on well-traveled Copples Lane is in the offing.
As part of its review of final items for the now-completed Strath Haven Middle School renovation/expansion project, the township Board of Commissioners asked the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District to make certain enhancements to a section of Copples adjacent to the lower parking lot.
The district agreed and installed a new 4-foot-wide asphalt path running from Smithfield Road to a lot entrance and curbing, as well as a white strip to call motorists' attention to the need to proceed carefully.
In exchange, township officials said they would install in-road, glow-in-the-dark traffic delineators along an on-street walkway stretching the length of Copples. The walkway on the busy connector street is used by students and residents, but visibility can be a challenge, particularly at night.
At its meeting on Nov. 8, the commissioners voted 7-0 to use $3,373 from a $7,268 Delaware Valley Insurance Trust (DVIT) risk-control grant to fund the purchase of the devices.
Nether Providence belongs to DVIT, which is a regional municipal risk-sharing pool providing property and liability coverage to participating members.

Out of touch with reality
This discussion has exposed some real weirdos. I can't believe what I'm reading. Do some of you really believe that it's ok for a kid to die for the convenience of others (not, as some claimed, for the greater good)? There is no excuse for saying it's ok for kids to die at school.
My guess is that those of you saying that don't actually have kids of your own. Your world view changes when you have a kid and you'll do anything to protect yours and others.
Anyway here is what it comes down to:
1) The problem isn't that a kid might accidentally EAT peanut butter, its that peanuts in the same room could kill a kid. Much different from the sugar vs diabetic kids argument.
2) We don't allow bringing weapons and poison into schools. If peanut dust is poisonous to even one kid or employee, it shouldn't be brought in, official ban or not.
3) Parents can avoid taking allergic children to many places, but the kids must go to school. Sending your kids to school actually is for the greater good as well as for the kid's own survival.
4) If it was your kid, you'd want special treatment too.
5) It's just peanut butter, people. There are lots of other healthy foods for kids. The sugar-based peanut butter that most kids get that are now banned from that school aren't good for them anyway. Too much sugar is bad for their health and impairs learning.
Thanks scotbb for trying to explain reality to some of these folks. I especially like your reasonable explanation of how evolution works and why it doesn't apply here.

Is Your Head in the Clouds? | Len Calderone | Apr 2012 |
Basically cloud computing is a data center on-demand. It is an unstructured infrastructure owned and operated by someone outside of its customers' company that accepts and runs workloads created by its customers. Previously, if a company needed more computing power, it added more servers, but for a small company, this is not cost effective. Using cloud computing, a company can plug into the Internet to access more computing power, which is scalable; meaning that as the demand changes, the cloud system will scale up or down. | |
Software Defined Radio | Pala Trinadh | Mar 2009 |

About RJ Jacks | Tom Moore | Tropical Telecom Corp. | Apr 2007 |
Why jacks? Why not just "hardwire" everything? Because today's homeowners live in a dynamic world. New things replace old, new lifestyles mean rooms change their function and jacks let you plug things in and out, as you wish. |
Casio PhoneMate IT-380 | Dec 1998 |
No, the unit doesn't get the body of the messages (it leaves those in your mailbox for retrieval with a PC). The IT-380 is designed to be an "E-mail advisory device" or Internet appliance, meaning that it informs you that you have new E-mail without providing the full message text; it is not designed for sending and receiving E-mail. My first impression of this limitation was negative but then when I thought about it, I realized that I really don't want a phone to get my email anyway. How would I type in a reply, organize and save messages etc. with a keypad. And what attachments ... where would they go ... lost in cyberspace forever? |

Being a moderator is the same as being someone with some sort of responsibility to make sure other people aren't doing what they aren't supposed to be doing. Doesn't matter if people don't like me. It's not like I'm intending to make enemies out of people. You just can't have it your way all the time. It's tough in the way that people want everything in the way that they want it.

Dear SCOE Board of Trustees: It has come to our attention that the Fortune School will be coming before the SCOE board to ask for a material revision of its charter. It is proposing a new school in Elk Grove School USD more than three miles from the "children's zone" identified in the original petition for a school location.
From the article about STEM Education: "Here's an overview of the problem: If a school district focuses only on performing well on a high-stakes California state test, an opportunity to experience and make applications in science, engineering design and computer science is lost. Rote memorization of facts and figures is over-valued. Our students' school experience, consequently, becomes a test prep factory, a setting devoid of meaningful human interaction and richer curricular connection. A child's spirit of wonder and intrigue becomes a sterile test score result."
The Open Enrollment priority for kids at the closed schools is a farce. The Open Enrollment timeline was just an excuse for the hurried closure "process" --we have to rush to get the schools closed so that parents can apply for open enrollment. There is no way 2000 students can be accommodated through that process. Students who live within the attendance boundaries have first choice at their neighborhood school regardless of open enrollment. Then there is sibling preference and staff preference. Some schools like Hearst and Camellia have academic criteria.
Last Tuesday evening the Putting Students First Coalition hosted a community budget forum. The presenter was Karen Swett, a retired SCUSD teacher who has spent years working with district
The Bee editorial board is concerned that the SCUSD school board will be perceived as acting unfairly by failing to close Mark Twain or Tahoe Elementary, in addition to the schools already closed. Evidently none of the Bee editorial board watched the SCUSD board meeting streaming online. If they had, they would know that the SCUSD board has already been accused of unfairness in the closure of seven elementary schools.
Today's Bee editorial lauds the SCUSD board of education for "tough but wise" decision" on schools closures because the district needed to close schools because of shrinking enrollment. While it is true that the district has too many schools for its enrollment, the objections many had with these school closures was the process. It was too hasty, used questionable data about school capacity, had no plan in place for student safety and engaged the public after the fact. In short, it did not follow best practices recommended by the California Dept. of Education.
It's not just a school, it's a community that will be lost. Parents trust that teachers and staff will act in the best interests of their children to look after them and to teach them for 6 hours a day. It's a stressful and scary situation for a parent to lose the school that is your child's safe haven.
Why is the district closing schools in the light of the passage of prop 30 and the Governor's new policy initiative to change the way schools are funded? Sac City is 73% free and reduced lunch students. It could receive an infusion of funds.
For the past ten years, the Sacramento City Unified School District has closed schools piecemeal, even when attempting to put a process like a 7-11 committee in place. Now with its back against the wall financially, the district believes it must close a large number of schools to remain solvent. To address the declining enrollment and over capacity in the district, planning should have begun by considering the best way to serve the needs of all of the current population of students in the district.
The SCUSD school closure list is out and some of the criteria behind the selection of the schools on it has been revealed. Three of the Superintendent's Priority Schools get a pass, despite the fact they are under enrolled. Oak Ridge was on a closure list two years ago because of low enrollment and the poor shape of its facility. Now it will be a receiving school for students from Bret Harte and Fruitridge Elementary Schools.

Archive for the 'Beer Business' Category
World Class Beer works hard all across the country to give people access to great beer. As beer distributors, our only profit motivation is to sell beer and we think that Beer Spy helps us to do that, by giving the beer drinker access to information on where the beer is and can be purchased. Beer Spy makes it possible for anyone to search for beer locations nearest their zip code!
What is Beer Spy?
Beer Spy is a complete sales history of each beer distributor in the World Class Beer network. It's a list of all their brands and products and the locations that are selling them. Each day, we submit many thousands of new records to Beer Spy by importing the sales history of our distributor partners to our website, making them searchable by brewery, beer style, brand and then making it possible for you to search that data to find the beer you want at the beer seller closest to your zip code.
It's also mobile friendly. It renders very nicely on smart phones of all brands as long as they have a web browser. It's not a native app (we're working on that!) but all the features of the web version are available on your smart phone right now!
It Only Lists Certain Brands
Yes, though we'd love to list them all and are working towards that goal. Frankly, we list the brands we sell. That's easy. But we're always open to listing any other brands, even our competitors brands, as long as we can get the data for them. In some cases, individual brewers are happy to send us that data and we post it to Beer Spy, even though we don't sell it.
Some of the Locations are Out of Date
Perhaps. We list what we sell and we list those locations for a 90 day period. After that, we drop them from the list unless the location has re-ordered. Most days we list around 45,000 different stores, bars and restaurants across the United States and there's no way for us to look on every shelf or be certain that the beer is still there. It might have sold out the day it arrived, but that's why we list telephone numbers and other stores that carry the beer you're looking for.
It Isn't Perfect
No, it isn't. I sort of think of it like Winston Churchill's take on democracy, it's the worst possible tool for finding beer, except for every other one that has been tried. I think it's the best possible solution to provide accurate beer locations on a large scale anywhere. It relies only on facts and it can track many thousands of different beers in many different states.

The latest news on cars
At least one part of the economy is enjoying a strong resurgence.
BERLIN (AP) — General Motors Co.'s Opel unit said Monday that it plans to end car production at one plant in Germany in 2016, but a slimmed-down factory may continue to make components.
Other carmakers seem to respect the controversial electric car much more than GM's many critics.
Car enthusiasts may be able to find money to fund their college education.
Bailout haters harass GM customers for helping the automaker get back on its feet.
Car owners are driving down expenses by renting to strangers.
NEW YORK (AP) — The number of Americans hitting the road this Thanksgiving is expected to increase slightly from a year ago. But they'll take shorter trips to save on gas and other costs as household budgets remain tight.
DETROIT (AP) — Major automakers are reporting sales increases for October despite losing three days of business to the punishing rain and wind from Superstorm Sandy.
Mitt Romney continues to tell lies about Chrysler moving Jeep production to China and what he would have done to save the auto industry.
DC could join Nevada, California, and Florida in allowing driverless cars on its roads.

From March 5 to 24, the Comet Pan-STARRS will be passing within view of the Bay Area with binoculars, clear skies, and a unobstructed view of the horizon, according to NASA.
The Urban Astronomer of San Francisco has a list of viewing tips at urbanastronomer.blogspot.com.
By March 10 it will get brighter and it may develop a classic comet dust tail when it passes closest to the sun, according to EarthSky.org, which has a Pan-STARRS viewing guide.
To see it, you'll have to look to the western horizon just after sunset, away from streetlights and other sources of light. Near the coast on high ground, including ridges, will offer some of the best viewing locations.
Depending on the date, it should be visible just after sunset for up to 45 minutes. It will climb higher and be visible longer later in the month. Around March 12 to March 13, the new moon could provide an additional visual treat, according to EarthSky.
The comet gets its name from who discovered it, in this case, the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, operated by the University of Hawaii on Mount Haleakala on the island of Maui.

Stunning Sylvie Van de Vaart makes waves
SYLVIE Van de Vaart looks Van-tastic as she soaks up the sun in Spain.
The gorgeous WAG - wife of Spurs ace Rafael - showed off her flawless figure and golden tan as she splashed about in the sea wearing an itsy-bitsy bikini.
The 34-year-old Dutch beauty is on holiday in Marbella with her footballer hubbie and their six-year-old son Damián.
But the television presenter and model isn't spending her entire time sunbathing.
She tweeted earlier this week: "Played some football on the beach today with my 2 men..love being active during holidays."
The blonde beauty got physical again yesterday afternoon- smooching Rafael, 29, in the sea.
The soccer star probably still needs cheering up after his team crashed out of Euro 2012 in the group stage.
He's been doing a pretty good job of keeping his mind off things by flying to various sunkissed locations with his sexy wife.
We brought you pics of the couple enjoying the sun in St Tropez last month.
Rafael could barely keep his hands off his stunning missus as they froliced in the millionaire's paradise.
It certainly beats training in the rain in Tottenham.

"Anne and Gilbert" in Kingston: August 15 to 30
From Nancy White:
As you may have heard, our musical "Anne and Gilbert" is being produced this summer by two different companies in two different towns. The Summerside,PEI production (produced by Campbell Webster) has been running to great houses and excellent reviews (none of which mentioned the writers!!! damn!!!!!!) since mid-June. It's a gorgeous show, best ever, directed this year by Heidi Ford. And it goes until Oct.4.
But I really wanted to let you know about the one that's a bit easier to get to, especially if you're in Toronto.
It's produced by the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Gananoque, who also did it last year. But this year they're doing it in the GRAND THEATRE in KINGSTON, ONTARIO, famous for its prisons, its university engineers, and its cruise ships on which the mysterious Roger James entertains. More »
