News Brief
Calif. Milk Board Touts 'White Gold'
Oct 28, 2008, 1:41 PM
The San Clemente, Calif.-based California Milk Processors Board is targeting teens with a message that milk makes your hair and nails look at least as good as a day in the salon. The effort uses the California industry group's current "White Gold" fictive rock group to promote the beauty benefits of milk.
Merchandise, including "White Gold" posters, plastic magazine covers, emery boards, nail polish and compact mirrors, will be distributed to 75 California salons to be given free to teens.
A White Gold video, "Is it me or do you love my hair?" will appear on www.whitegoldiswhitegold.com, and YouTube, Hulu, MTV, VideoEgg and Tremor Media. The board has also created a number of custom online banners for this outreach that will appear within different rock venues such as "Guitar Hero 3" and "Guitar Hero 4" and Xbox Live.--Karl Greenberg

September 2, 2012 - Beautiful - looks just like the picture. And it comes extremely well packed and protected.
Artisan: Alejandro Chavez
Peruvian artisan Alejandro Chavez specializes in the creations of retablos, a kind of reverent diorama-altar unique to the Ayacucho region of Peru. He learned this technique as a boy in school, when he was 17 years old and living in Ayacucho, where his parents moved when he was just 2 years old.
When Chavez returned to his hometown, he began working in the studio of Angel Castro, a master artisan. Here he refined his techniques in the creation of retablos, eagerly learning the art from his teacher. Later, Chavez formed his own workshop after the death of his teacher and began to give shape to his art. The customs and traditions of the Andean people emerge in every piece.
Today Chavez is part of an association of artisans who participate in national artesania fairs. Chavez tells us that, "In every one of my works you can find the labors of my wife, who molds the characters, as well as that of my nieces and nephews, whom I currently teach. I sincerely hope that you enjoy your retablo which brings together the culture and traditions of the Andes."

Harrison Township Trustee Joyce Ancil removed the elected chief of the Harrison Township Volunteer Fire Department Tuesday and installed her son, Mark Ancil, as the new chief.
The ousted chief, Jerry Eads, is crying foul, saying it was a personal vendetta.
But Joyce Ancil, whose other son, David, sits on the fire corporation board and the township board, said she had to make the move because Eads' training wasn't where it needed to be.
"I did it to protect the township. This wasn't something that was a lot of fun for me to do," she said Wednesday.
Whether the leadership switch will affect the township's fire protection remains to be seen. Joyce and Mark Ancil both characterized the move as an internal matter and said fire protection won't change.
Eads, however, said up to 14 volunteers have resigned from the department in response to his ouster. The Ancils said the number is more like five or six.
"I'm very bitter about it, because I've only actually been in office a little over a month, and [Joyce Ancil] has tried three times to get me removed, and on the fourth time, she was successful," he said.
Joyce Ancil said Eads was told he needed additional training in the National Incident Management System, a core set of doctrine, concepts, principles, terminology and organizational processes for all big emergency incidents.
"He didn't have the qualifications needed to be chief," Joyce said. "That put us in a bad spot, because if your chief doesn't have certain qualifications, you can't apply for grants."
Eads said the NIMS training was partially at fault for what happened, but said Joyce Ancil has been trying to get her son installed as chief ever since Mark Ancil lost the chief election back in November.
According to Eads, the firefighters picked him over four other candidates, including Mark Ancil. He said the first election was disputed by the losers, so another election was held about two weeks later.
He said he won the second election on a 22-7 vote over Gary Wysong, who was installed as Mark Ancil's assistant chief Tuesday. Wysong had been serving as interim chief prior to the election.
Joyce Ancil said she asked Eads to complete the NIMS 300/400 level qualifications, and said he failed to get it done in a timely fashion.
"We needed to change the leadership. This was an internal decision, it has nothing to do with the public," Joyce said. "It wasn't just my decision, it was made by several people," she added.
Eads said he initially thought he had all the NIMS training that he was scheduled to take a class within the next month to get those levels, and said the fire chief isn't required to have the higher level training, as long as one of his chief officers does.
"The chief can appoint somebody [with that level of training] and I had three officers who had it," Eads said.
Indiana Department of Homeland Security spokesman John Erickson said the NIMS issue is part of the grant process, but said the state agency will work with local departments to help them get the necessary training.
"[Eads] is correct in saying that if the next two on his department have that training, they're not going to be penalized, but we'd also encourage him to get that training," Erickson said.
In addition to ousting Eads, the Ancils also got rid of the deputy chief, Darrell Lutz.
How exactly Joyce Ancil managed to impose her will on the department is another point of dispute.
Both she and Eads agree that she required every volunteer firefighter to re-apply for their own positions at the meeting.
But they differ on whether Joyce Ancil formally dissolved the department.
She claims she threatened to dissolve the department if Mark wasn't made chief, but never actually took steps to do it.
"I told them we could dissolve the corporation if we needed to, but that would just cost us money, and that it would be a silly thing to do if the same people were going to stay," she said.
Eads said she followed through on her threat and said she was dissolving the department when the firefighters balked.
For his part, Mark Ancil said he has more than 26 years with the volunteer department. His late father, Charles Ancil, was chief, and both Joyce and David Ancil have served roles on the department.
Asked if she thought ousting Eads and installing her son might look bad, Ancil said she was the elected trustee, and wasn't trying to "micromanage" the department.
"I don't know how it looks," she said. "David [Ancil] is the president of the fire corporation but I had nothing to do with that other than my one vote. I went with the most qualified person [for fire chief] we had."
Eads said he's trying to decide what to do next.
"They really tried to backdoor me, big time," he said. "And I was chief there before and there were no problems, so why now? I'm totally in the dark about it."

You know what you @@*#ers, I've been sitting around all morning lamenting my empty fridge and wallet. I had just gotten used to be hungry till dinner and then shopping tomorrow when I get paid but then I came across this thread. You know, you would be surprised what you can make with next to nothing on hand. Everyone has Bisquick..or Jiffy Mix..add some water if you don't have milk, mix it up and fry it. BAM! Homemade hotcakes. What? No syrup? Not to worry..slap some jelly on 'em and roll 'em up. YUM. Or a can of soup and toast. Heck, even some plain pasta with lots of butter and some salt and pepper is yummy. I'm a wiz at making filling meals that feed 4 on next to nothing. |
I've gotten to where I make a sammich consisting of wheat, pepperoni, and pepperjack cheese.
Nine slices of pepperoni on each slice of bread, with pepperjack cheese in the middle. Cook it until the cheese melts and seals it all together. Mmmm. |
I love this realm, the forum community can use some brushing up - but past that, you guys rock. I would not roll another character anywhere else unless my life absolutely positively depended on it. (Maybe not even then! MG or Death!!)

I'm thinking the Newfie goulash needs to happen. Either that, or it'll go on the list of simple recipes that sound awesome and I can't get here unless I make them myself, but never get around to it because I'm lazy and forgetful. Like poutine.
I could make poutine right now with things I have in the house, and now that I remember it, and I'm hungry, I have to go to work in five minutes... :(

Jan Popkin | Another View: Blueprints for collaboration
By Jan Popkin
Oct 31, 2006
Jan Popkin
In his book, The World is Flat, Thomas Friedman describes examples of forces that have 'flattened the world' and the multiple forms and tools for collaboration that have been created. In particular, he asserts that collaboration is the new driving force in managing workflows today, resulting in a new paradigm where collaborators agree to 'have your application talk to my application.'
Two trends are driving this collaboration. One is alignment'or the emphasis on improving organizational performance by aligning IT systems more closely with such business goals and strategies as e-government and net-centric operations. The second is integration'or the movement from building standalone systems to integrated system development, where applications no longer stand apart but must function as parts of a larger enterprise environment.
For IT folks in the government, this evolution is not news. Information technology and architecture have been evolving to support collaboration, with the ultimate goals of better service delivery and improved interoperability. This movement toward collaboration requires migration from discrete IT systems into an environment based on machine-to-machine communications that leverage the power of intranets or the Internet using Web services.
But creating a collaborative environment is a huge challenge for agencies. Many are looking at the commercial world for answers and, toward this end, are evaluating service-oriented architecture as one solution.
SOA works as a software architecture integration platform that supports coupling parts of software applications into a service layer, thus creating a composite application. In simple terms, a composite application may take information from some systems and deliver information to others, those using pieces of applications to create a new or composite application made up of a series of services.
SOA offers many benefits. First, it saves both the time and money necessary to build a new application; it simply repurposes what is already available. By enabling many applications to work together, agencies can easily reconfigure workflows over time to address changing regulations or new operating realities. Agility is a primary benefit; it is much easier to rework a spider web of services than to create a new application.
But SOA should be approached as a technology that enables architecture instead of just another new technology to move data. Agencies should watch for pitfalls, such as building applications that fail to provide for future opportunities offered by machine-to-machine or browserless communications. They should avoid arbitrarily selecting services that could expose internal data unnecessarily and instead evaluate services in the context of a technology issue and a security issue.
Many agencies are recognizing that their existing enterprise architecture programs can provide the intellectual component to make SOA and collaboration a reality. Enterprise architecture, with its road map showing relationships among the processes, data and IT infrastructures, provides a platform for implementing SOA with the ability to accommodate change instead of using new technology to do things the same old way.
Enterprise architecture offers organizations the flexibility to assemble and analyze applications in the context of processes and examine relationships, and do it at a higher level of complexity. Thus it gives agencies the tools to understand how SOA supports e-government, net-centric operations and cross-agency information sharing. Agencies that leave out the middle step of architecture will miss the value proposition offered by SOA'the agility offered in adapting to future change. Smart agencies recognize that enterprise architecture is the intellectual component that enables new ways of thinking and delivering the accompanying benefits.

The New York Stock Exchange is being sold to a little-known rival in Atlanta for about US$8 billion (NZ$9.5b), ending more than two centuries of independence for the iconic Big Board.
The buyer, IntercontinentalExchange, a 12-year-old exchange that deals in investing contracts known as futures, said that little would change for the trading floor in Manhattan's financial district.
The NYSE dates to 1792, when 24 brokers and merchants traded stocks under a buttonwood tree on Wall Street. But its importance today is mostly symbolic. Most trading is done on computers that match thousands of orders a second.
"The cash equities business in America has effectively been obliterated," said Thomas Caldwell, chairman of Caldwell Securities in Toronto and a shareholder in the New York exchange's parent company, NYSE Euronext.
He said that the jewel of the deal is not the New York exchange but Liffe, a futures exchange founded in London.
"The original New York Stock Exchange, it's got a brand name, it's got recognition, but as a business it's a very small part of this thing," Caldwell said.
Three decades ago, the floor of the New York exchange was full of bustling traders. Today, one of its largest booths belongs to the cable news channel CNBC, which broadcasts there for most of the business day.
The stature of the New York exchange has been dwindling for years because of intensifying competition, a harsher regulatory environment and the declining popularity of stocks as an investment, Caldwell said.
NYSE Euronext has been looking for a deal. Last year, ICE and Nasdaq OMX Group Inc., which competes with the NYSE for stock listings, made an US$11b bid to buy NYSE Euronext. But that deal fell apart after regulators raised antitrust concerns.
Earlier this year, European regulators blocked Deutsche Boerse AG from buying NYSE Euronext.
ICE was established in May 2000. Its founding shareholders represented some of the world's largest energy companies and financial institutions, according to the company's most recent annual report.
ICE's stated mission was to transform the energy futures market by providing more transparency.
The company has expanded through a series of acquisitions during the last decade and listed on the NYSE in an initial public offering in November 2005.
Analysts forecast that ICE's revenues will reach US$1.4b this year, according to FactSet, a provider of financial data. That's more than double the US$574 million of revenues that the company reported in 2007.
"We believe the combined company will be better positioned to compete and serve customers across a broad range of asset classes by uniting our global brands, expertise and infrastructure," said ICE chairman and CEO Jeffrey Sprecher.
Sprecher will keep his positions. Four members of the NYSE board will be added to ICE's board, expanding it to 15 members.
For each share of NYSE Euronext stock that they own, shareholders can choose either US$33.12 in cash, roughly a quarter-share of ICE, or a combination of US$11.27 in cash and roughly one-sixth of a share of ICE.
NYSE's stock jumped US$7.89, or 33 per cent, to US$31.95 in heavy trading shortly after the market opened. ICE's stock fell US$1.43 to US$126.8.
ICE plans to pay for the cash part of the acquisition with a combination of cash and existing debt. It added that the deal will help it cut costs and should increase its earnings more than 15 per cent in the first year after the deal closes.
The deal has been approved by the boards of both companies, but still needs the approvals by regulators and shareholders of both companies. It's expected to close in the second half of next year.
Peter Costa, President of Empire Executions Inc., a boutique trading firm on the floor of the NYSE, and a governor with the New York Stock Exchange, said that both companies knew the value of the NYSE brand and would try to preserve it.
"The trading floor, while iconic, may seem to be an anachronism in this high-speed world of electronic this and electronic that, but it still survives because the customers that use the trading floor still see the added value of having some human intervention," Costa said in an email.
Costa, also an NYSE stockholder, said while that the premium that ICE was paying was not as high as he would have liked, it was "still fairly generous."

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. (AP) — The classic cars lined up against an empty, vintage gas station along a busy street in North Miami attract visitors to a much larger space right behind it.
More than 1,000 cars are on display at the 250,000-square-foot Miami Auto Museum at The Dezer Collection that includes American classics, military and electric cars, bicycles and more. The museum is so large that if every passenger on three 747 airplanes were given just one item from the museum, they could all bike, drive or pedal their way out, said curator Myles Kornblatt.
There are eight galleries spread throughout two large buildings in a part of Miami not known to showcase collectibles, much less $25 million to $30 million worth of one-of-a-kind vehicles.
"We are a bit of a hidden gem," Kornblatt said.
Jorge Ivan Vergara Salazar, who came from Colombia to Miami on a family vacation, recently visited the museum and said he was surprised to find so many rare cars under one roof.
"Everything that you see in television, like James Bond and Indiana Jones, those are all marvelous things. You get astonished by the things that are here in America," Salazar, 49, said in Spanish while touring the museum.
Real estate developer Michael Dezer, 72, started his massive collection as a teenager and has one of the largest Vespa scooter collections in the world.
"I knew it was original before I showed up," said AJ Palmgren, a self-proclaimed "Knight Rider" historian who traveled from Des Moines, Iowa, to Florida for a family vacation. He made sure to stop at the museum on this trip because the television series about the talking, crime-fighting car has been his passion since the day it first aired Sept. 26, 1982.
"It's very familiar. I've studied all of the remaining surviving original cars," he said while standing next to KITT, the black Pontiac Trans Am that was featured in the popular 1980s television series.
The museum houses the largest collection of micro cars on display, including a Velorex made in Czechoslovakia. Some are so small that they could barely accommodate one person, yet many were known for carrying two or three.
There's also a Duesenberg Model X from 1927, a sedan car with a rear windshield to shield the backseat passengers. It is just one of five known to still exist.

Khojaly Genocide brochure by Heydar Aliyev Center translated into Korean - PHOTOS
30 January 2014 [09:45] -
Khojaly Genocide brochure, made by the Heydar Aliyev Center, has been translated into Korean from its original English version.
Translated by the Azerbaijani Embassy, the brochure was printed in 5,000 copies and will be distributed to state and government officials, universities and media outlets in the Republic of South Korea.
It provides a brief insight into the history as well as cultural monuments in Nagorno-Karabakh, one of the most ancient human settlements in Azerbaijan and the world.
The brochure speaks of the causes and consequences of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, in particular Khojaly genocide that happened on February 26, 1992 when the Armenian armed forces committed a massacre against the innocent people in the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly.
It also features photos and information concerning the Justice for Khojaly campaign launched by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation`s Vice President Leyla Aliyeva.

James Corden to Star in 'School For Santas' for Working Title Films
The project will reunite the British star with playwright Richard Bean, the man behind Broadway and West End hit "One Man, Two Guvnors."
LONDON – Working Title Films is developing School for Santas as a vehicle for James Corden (TV's Gavin & Stacey, One Chance).
The film will be written by Richard Bean, the playwright behind Broadway and West End hit One Man,Two Guvnors which enjoyed a sellout run with Corden in the lead role.
The movie will be produced with Kris Thykier (The Debt, Kick-Ass, I Give It A Year).
School for Santas follows a down-on-his luck dad who needs to find his inner Father Christmas to win back his kids.
The film is set to start shooting in New York and London in 2013.
Working Title chiefs Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner currently have Edgar Wright's The World's End and Hoss Amini's The Two Faces of January in production.
Films set to roll out in theaters over the next few months include Tom Hooper's Les Misérables, Dan Mazer's I Give It A Year, Richard Curtis' About Time.
Thykier is currently shooting David Frankel's One Chance and was the producer on I Give It A Year for Working Title Films.
Corden said: "Re-teaming with Richard Bean and Kris Thykier is like all my Christmas's have come at once. I can't wait to start."
Thykier described School for Santas as a project "very close to my heart."
Said Thykier: "To be able to work again with Working Title Films and with James Corden, with whom I've had such an amazing year, is like Christmas has come early."

Recent reviews:
March 23, 2013 - Nice socks. Can't imagine anyone with a really large foot being able to wear these though. I wear a size 6 and they fit just fine.
March 7, 2013 - They are tighter around the ankles then the rest of my socks, but once I get them on, I don't notice it until it's time to take them back off. These may not be for people with circulation problems. First set, one had a run in the heel. Replacements were sent and everything is fine. Good quality, very comfortable.
February 24, 2013 - These socks are great! They are very well made.

I am currently trying out the Android 1.5 SDK and I have seen a couple of examples on TabHost. What I am trying to do is to use a different button on each Tab to do its tasks.
What I tried was using onClickListiner() and onClick(). I think this is what all the developers use, but I keep getting a null exception on the LogCat every time the button is pressed. Also I have each XML Layout so I call the Tab as : tab.add(...setContent(R.id.firstTabLayout))
firstTabLayout = layout for Button and TextView.
What would be the best way to make a button/TextView work properly under the TabHost?

WJAC-TV is the NBC-affiliated television station in west-central Pennsylvania with the station licensed to Johnstown. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 34 from a transmitter northwest of the city in Laurel Ridge State Park along the Cambria and Westmoreland County line. Owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, the station has studios on Old Hickory Lane in Johnstown. Syndicated programming on the station includes The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Dr. Phil, Live with Kelly, Entertainment Tonight, and The Insider.
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming[1] |
6.1 | 1080i | 16:9 | WJAC-HD | main WJAC-TV programming / NBC |
6.2 | 480i | 4:3 | MeTV6 | Me-TV |
The Retro Television Network began airing on WJAC-TV's second digital subchannel in late December 2008.[2] Along with sister station WPXI, WJAC-TV 6.2 transitioned to Me-TV at midnight on June 13, 2011, immediately following an episode of Ellery Queen, at which point the channel was switched to the Me-TV feed for the start of Hogan's Heroes. Sister station WTOV continued to air RTV until January 16, 2012.[3] Before its closure in December 2008, WJAC-TV carried NBC Weather Plus on the second digital subchannel. The regular changes in WJAC's subchannel over its first few years reflect the decisions made internally about how to best make use of the new programming options afforded by Digital OTA broadcast.[4]
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
WJAC-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 6, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 34.[5][6][7][8] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former VHF analog channel 6.
The nearby mountain ridges had prevented most Altoona and all of State College from receiving the analog signal; conversely, many of Pittsburgh's outer-ring eastern and Westmoreland County suburbs actually got a grade B signal from WJAC. Because the audio portion of VHF channel 6 was transmitted at 87.75 MHz, it was possible to listen to the television station on most FM car radios (or any standard FM radio for that matter). This was a feature frequently employed by area residents. However, this is no longer an option after the digital conversion.
Digital repeaters[edit]
Callsign | Channel | City of license | Note | Transmitter location |
WJAC-TV | 22 | Altoona | Licenced | Wopsononock |
26 | DuBois | Licensed | southeast of Luthersburg | |
29 | Bedford | Licensed | west of borough | |
W42DG-D | 42 | State College | Licensed | southwest of Pine Grove Mills |
WJAC-TV first began its broadcasting operations on 15 September 1949[9] originally owned by the Johnstown Automotive Company along with WJAC radio (AM 1400, now WKGE at AM 850, and FM 95.5, now WKYE at FM 96.5). At the time, it was the third smallest television station in the country market wise to be granted a commercial license on or before December 31 behind CBS affiliate WBNG-TV in Binghamton, New York and fellow NBC affiliate WICU-TV in Erie. It originally aired an analog signal on VHF channel 13 before moving to VHF channel 6 in 1952. Upon its sign-on, it aired programming from all four networks of the time (NBC, CBS, ABC, and DuMont). CBS disappeared from WJAC-TV's schedule when WARD-TV channel 56 (now Pittsburgh's CW affiliate WPCW on channel 19) signed-on in 1953 followed by DuMont when it shut down network operations in 1955. However, the station continued to air a few ABC shows into the 1980s. [10]
In the 1960s, Johnstown Automotive sold the WJAC stations to the estate of Anderson H. Walters, the owner of The Tribune-Democrat, who held them until 1984 when tightened Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cross-ownership regulations forced the newspaper to sell off the radio stations. The Walters estate sold off the newspaper to MediaNews Group in 1987 but held on to Channel 6 until 1997 when it was sold to Sunrise Television. WJAC and new sister station WTOV-TV in the Steubenville, Ohio–Wheeling, West Virginia market were sold to Cox Enterprises in 2000. The two stations and WPXI in Pittsburgh are now occasionally marketed together as a result. WJAC-TV and WTOV were updated to WPXI's on-air graphics after being acquired by Cox, despite WPXI changing its own look in 2004. Most of the graphics introduced to WJAC-TV after the acquisition were used until October 2011, when WJAC-TV updated to WPXI's current look.
WJAC-TV gained a reputation for its locally produced programs at the station throughout the years. Scholastic Quiz, a game show featuring local high school students, and Seniors Today (a public affairs program targeted to those 65 and older) would become mainstays of the station's programming and make host Ron Lorence (who would later build WADJ-AM, now WBHV, at 1330 AM and then buy WYSN-FM 101.7 now WCCL in Somerset County) a local household name. The station was also one of the stations across the country to produce a local version of the children's TV show ″Romper Room″. In the 1950s and 1960s, WJAC-TV's slogan was "Serving Millions From Atop the Alleghenies."
On September 15, 2009, WJAC-TV celebrated its 60th year of broadcasting.[11] During that month, WJAC-TV aired several commercials advertising the anniversary. One featured a variation of the "Serving Millions from Atop the Alleghenies" slogan creating "Serving Millions Across the Alleghenies." This old slogan was used in various ways in the station's broadcasts and mixed with the station's then-current slogan "Coverage You Can Count On" to form "Coverage You Can Count On Across the Alleghenies" the year before. On July 20, 2012, one day after Cox purchased four television stations in Jacksonville, Florida and Tulsa, Oklahoma from Newport Television, Cox put WJAC-TV, WTOV-TV, and sister stations in El Paso, Texas and Reno, Nevada, plus several radio stations in medium to small markets, on the selling block. All four of the television stations on the block are located in markets that are smaller than Tulsa.[12] On February 25, 2013, Cox announced that it would sell the four stations to Sinclair Broadcast Group.[13] The FCC granted its approval of the sale on April 29,[14] and it was consummated on May 2.[15]
On July 22, 2013, Horseshoe Curve Communications agreed to sell Fox affiliate WWCP-TV (channel 8) to Cunningham Broadcasting for $12 million. The Sinclair Broadcast Group was to operate the station through shared services and joint sales agreements.[16] However, the majority of Cunningham's stock is held by the Smith family (owners and founders of Sinclair). As a result, Sinclair would have effectively owned WWCP as well. As WWCP's long-standing local marketing agreement to operate ABC affiliate WATM-TV (channel 23) was part of the deal, it would have resulted in the major commercial television stations in the market being controlled by just two companies. It would have essentially made WJAC-TV, WWCP, and WATM all sister stations and expanded on their existing news share arrangement (see below). However, on February 20, 2014, Horseshoe Curve informed the FCC that the sale of WWCP had fallen through.[17]
WJAC-TV is carried on various cable systems in several counties that are located outside of the Johnstown-Altoona market. These counties include Armstrong, Butler, Clarion, Indiana and Westmoreland.[18][19] In West Virginia, it is carried in Petersburg (93 miles away), Dorcas, Moorefield and Keyser. WJAC-TV is also broadcast over-the-air on a low-powered repeater, W29DH-D, in Moorefield, West Virginia.[20] This repeater is owned by Valley TV Cooperative.
News operation[edit]
In the late-1960s and 1970s, WJAC had a fifteen minute news and weather show weekday afternoons at 1 known as The News Today. Its 6 o'clock newscast was known as The News Tonight and the 11 p.m. broadcast was entitled 11th Hour News. The weather segment aired first and was titled "Weather in Motion" with its own sounder and graphics. The sports had a separate theme and was called "Sports Wrap Up". Their weekday morning newscast began as a half-hour broadcast at 6:30 in 1985. In 1987, TCI Cable (now Comcast) in Centre County began producing a WJAC newscast, known as the Centre County Report, specifically targeted to that area.
On January 14, 2008, WJAC entered into a news share agreement with WWCP and WATM. This station then began to produce WWCP's nightly prime time show and reduced the program to 35 minutes on weeknights while remaining a half-hour on weekends. The newscast, still known as Fox 8 News at 10, now originates from a secondary set at WJAC's facility on Old Hickory Lane in Upper Yoder Township (with a Johnstown postal address). It features a separate news anchor on weeknights, who does not appear on WJAC, in addition to a different music and graphics package from broadcasts seen on the NBC outlet. Since WJAC has prior commitments with local news and weather cut-ins during Today, WATM offers taped news updates that are seen Tuesday through Saturday mornings (at :25 and :55 past the hour) during Good Morning America. From January 2008 until March 2011, WJAC simulcasted its nightly newscast at 11 on WATM under the ABC 23 News branding.
It officially changed the station's news branding from WJAC-TV News to 6 News on October 25, 2011. This change comes only three years after the switch from Channel 6 News. In addition to the new branding, WJAC updated their on-air graphics and theme music to those of its former sister station, WPXI, in Pittsburgh. Then, in July 2012, this outlet became the first station in the market to broadcast local news in full high definition. [21] In addition to its main studios, it also operates bureaus in State College (on West College Avenue/PA 26) and DuBois (on East DuBois Avenue/PA 255; building is shared with WOWQ-FM 102.1).

SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims On Behalf of Investors of Polycom, Inc. - PLCM
NEW YORK, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Polycom, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLCM) ("Polycom " or the "Company") who purchased Polycom common stock between July 24, 2012 and July 23, 2013 (the "Class Period"). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at firstname.lastname@example.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether Polycom and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On July 23, 2013, Polycom announced that its CEO Andrew Miller has resigned after the board found "irregularities" in his expense submissions. On this news, the shares of Polycom fell $0.63 cents, or 5.6% percent, to $10.55 in after-hours trading on July 23, 2013.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, San Diego and Florida, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

Maple's Leather Furniture enshrines sitters in thrones of supple full-grain leather, eight-way hand-tied coils, and—in most cases—sturdy skeletons of kiln-dried hardwoods. The company's signature line, Green Leaf, contracts private furniture makers to concoct couch confections, including rich chocolate-brown Manfred sofas ($1,799), and its weathered Coronado chairs offer wide button-puckered backs to cradle Disney-movie marathon watchers ($1,880). Maple's Leather Furniture can ship swatches to prospective clients who want to match couches to their underwater grotto's seaweed-themed décor, and shipping varies depending on the location of the aforementioned grotto.
The trainers at Thank Dog! Bootcamp tap into dogs' energy and devotion to motivate humans to get into shape. Bootcamps cater to two-legged and four-legged participants at the same time.

In addition to being a good form of exercise, the classes instill basic obedience-training techniques that can be used at home.
Balls roll uphill. Surging streaks of water flow upward behind them. People struggling to stand at a 90-degree angle are upright at 45-degrees. Such are the laws of gravity at Mystery Hill's Mystery House, an enigmatic amusement center perched atop a slope that enjoys a stronger-than-average gravitational pull to the north. The same peculiar pull looms over the nearby Mystery Platform, where people standing on the north side always appear larger than those on the south. For more than 50 years, visitors have flocked to the curious hilltop to explore its strange gravitational pull and interact with other science-related exhibits.
Aside from the Mystery House, most of the museum's scientific attractions congregate in The Hall of Mystery, where guests can step inside a giant bubble, flee the chase of their shadow, or learn to beat the moon at rock-paper-scissors. Alternatively, Mystery Hill museums include Appalachian Heritage Museum, which houses antique sewing machines, books, and a list of the personal blog URLs of mountain families from the late 1800s to early 1900s. The Native Artifacts Museum assembles more than 50,000 arrowheads, effigy pipes, awls, and other accouterments culled over 70 years from 23 states.
Since 1985, Arbor Creek Kennels & Pet Lodge has treated pooches and cats to regular playtime and spacious, comfortable quarters with heated floors. Friendly staff take animals on daily walks amid the compound's 30 acres of idyllic countryside, and someone is always on the premises, 24 hours a day, to ensure that pets play nicely and sleep soundly. During their stay, animals can undergo grooming and bathing services to remove tangles and stenches from fur or impress talent agents casting for Homeward Bound: With a Vengeance. The kennel maintains a close relationship with Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, a local no-kill shelter.
