Firefighter breaks arm after falling down stairs
Published 11:06am Monday, July 8, 2013Five businesses were damaged, one firefighter was injured and five families were displaced as the result of a fire that burned all night in downtown Fergus Falls.
The fire at the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue started shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday and burned until the sun came up Monday morning.
Flames burned through the roof of the building that is home to Lakes Country Graphics, Curl Up and Dye and four tenants. While the building was not destroyed, a combination of fire, smoke and water caused significant damage to five businesses, said fire chief Mark Hovland.
While all of the tenants escaped safely, a firefighter suffered a broken arm after falling down a flight of stairs. He underwent surgery this morning. One other firefighter was treated and released for heat exhaustion.
While an official cause has yet to be determined, it appears the fire was caused by electrical problems, Hovland said.
The initial call came in to the fire department at 10:23 p.m. Sunday when a caller reported light smoke and an electrical problem. Crews entered the building and found the fire was coming from the attic, Hovland said.
"At first, we thought there was still somebody in the building, so we started in rescue mode," he said. "When we knew everyone was out we went to offense mode."
Crews entered the building and attempted to fight the fire from the inside. When the blaze grew too large, firefighters backed off and went into defensive mode, fighting the fire from the large ladder hose behind the building. Crews switched from offense to defense a few times before everything was under control, Hovland said.
"It was a hard fire to get to because it was in the ceiling in a tight attic space that was only three or four feet high," he said. "Most ceilings in apartments are 10 feet. It was a lot of heavy, physical work inside."
Firefighters will likely remain on scene throughout the day, and the next step for the fire department is to get things cleaned up and determine when roads and sidewalks can be opened to the public, said Hovland.
A total of 102 firefighters were involved, and agencies that assisted the Fergus Falls Fire Department included the Fergus Falls Police Department, Otter Tail County Sheriff's Department, the Minnesota State Highway Patrol, Ringdahl Ambulance, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Fergus Falls Public Works, the State Fire Marshal and nine fire departments from surrounding areas.

Arizona governor's veto aimed at own party's right
Tax cuts on tap again for Missouri legislators
Nixon's veto of gun rights bill to stand - override fails in MO Senate
Governor Jay Nixon's veto of a controversial gun rights measure will stand.
The override of HB-436 had passed the Missouri House 109-49 Wednesday afternoon, but the override attempt fell a single vote short in the Senate Wednesday night (22-12).
The legislation declared that any federal policies that "infringe on the people's right to keep and bear arms" shall be invalid in Missouri. It would have allow state charges to be brought against federal authorities who attempted to enforce federal gun laws.
After the Senate vote Wednesday night, Nixon issues a statement applauding the Senate's action to sustain his veto of a bill he called "unnecessary, unconstitutional and unsafe."
Lawmakers put plans for vocational school back in motion
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri lawmakers have voted to override a line-item budget veto of $1 million to help rebuild a vocational education school in northeast Missouri.
The House's 112-47 vote was the first taken Wednesday as lawmakers considered 33 vetoes by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon. Senators then approved the override 28-5.
At issue is money targeted for the Pike-Lincoln Technical Center, which was damaged by a fire. Although the school had insurance, bill supporters said it was not enough to outfit the building with computers and make it accessible to people with disabilities.
Nixon said he vetoed the bill because of the source of the money. He said lawmakers want to pay for the repairs from a fund dedicated for the state school funding formula.
Senate supports override of Nixon veto on farm ownership bill
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Senate has voted to override Gov. Jay Nixon's veto of an agriculture measure.
The legislation includes changes to Missouri's animal abuse and neglect law and a longer maximum prison sentence for stealing livestock. It also would replace a prohibition on foreign ownership of farmland with a 1 percent cap.
Nixon had objected to the provisions on foreign ownership and animal abuse.
The Senate voted 23-10 Wednesday to override the veto, sending the measure to the House, where 109 votes are needed to override. The House passed the bill earlier 133-21.
Proponents of the bill contend changes to the animal abuse and neglect law are needed and that tougher punishment for stealing livestock could help combat cattle rustling.
Legislators unable to override veto on tax cut bill
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is cheering the decision of lawmakers to sustain his veto of an income tax cut bill.
The House voted 94-67 Wednesday to override Nixon's veto, well short of the 109 votes needed for a two-thirds majority.
Nixon issued a statement Wednesday saying the vote was "a defining moment for our state and a victory for all Missourians."
He called the legislation "fiscally irresponsible" and asserted that it would have "defunded our schools and weakened our economy."
Fifteen Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the veto override.
Republican Party leaders had said the legislation was needed to help businesses compete with neighboring states that have recently cut taxes.
The bill would have gradually reduced income taxes both for businesses and individuals.
Analysis: Huge MO tax cut largely hypothetical
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Governor Jay Nixon says a clause in the income tax cut bill that he vetoed could have triggered a $1.2 billion run on the state treasury.
Attorney General Chris Koster agreed with Nixon's legal analysis this past week. But the projection remains largely hypothetical.
The Missouri bill would trigger a one-half of a percent reduction in state income tax rates if the federal government enacts a measure making it easier for states to collect online sales taxes.
That bill has stalled in the U.S. House. But if it passes, then all of Missouri's roughly 2.8 million income taxpayers would have to amend three years of tax returns for Nixon's projections to hit in a single year.
The courts likely would have to determine whether the retroactive tax refund is legal.
Lawmakers eye uninsured motorist bill for override
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri lawmakers could attempt to override Governor Jay Nixon's veto of restrictions on lawsuits from uninsured motorists.
Under the legislation, uninsured drivers forfeit the ability to collect noneconomic damages from an insured driver. That would not apply if the insured driver was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It also would not apply to an uninsured motorist who lost coverage within the past six months for failing to pay premiums.
Missouri requires auto insurance.
Supporters contend it could encourage people to comply with the insurance requirement and would prevent those without insurance from driving up costs for the system. Opponents say there already are penalties for driving without insurance and that the bill protects those who break the law and hurt someone.
Lawmakers consider veto overrides September 11th.
TX governor uses Chesterfield forum to urge override of Nixon's tax cut veto
Texas Governor Rick Perry says that unless Missouri lawmakers override Governor Jay Nixon's veto of an income tax cut, he won't be the only governor trying to lure business from the Show-me State. Perry made the comments Thursday evening while speaking at a pro-tax cut rally in Chesterfield.
Perry had spent the day in the St. Louis area pushing for the override of Nixon's veto of House Bill 253.
Nixon crisscrossed the state Thursday, telling crowds that the tax cut would imperil critical services like education and risk the state's Triple-A tax rating.
Both men spent Thursday morning discussing their positions with McGraw Milhaven on his KTRS morning show. Nixon continued to criticize the Texas Governor for trying to "poach" business, while Perry said it's merely competition in a very competitive arena.
Perry also told McGraw that $40 million in business leaves Missouri for Texas every year, although he could not name any specific business. Nixon contests that figure.
The Missouri Governor said the bottom line is that states should be competing against the world for a piece of the economic pie, not slicing into each other's portion.
Governor Nixon defends veto of changes to sex offender registry
Governor Jay Nixon spoke at the St. Louis City Police Department, defending his veto of a Missouri House Bill.
The legislation, House Bill 301 would have removed hundreds of criminals who committed sex crimes when they were under the age of 18 from online sex offender registries. The proposal would allow sex offenders to petition the court for removal from the registry. Nixon said the bill is flawed because it does not consider the seriousness of the criminal's offenses.
The legislation would remove around 870 people from the registry.

- Investors have been overpaying for dividend stocks while undervaluing those firms buying back shares, Oakmark's Bill Nygren tells the crew at Fast Money. Investors should treat both the same, but the stocks of repurchasers aren't as expensive, he says.
- Previous: Buyback ETFs outpacing market and dividend funds.
- Among his favorite picks are Bank of America (BAC) and JPMorgan (JPM). "What we see here is really low P/Es relative to the market and relative to their own history ... These companies sell at about 8x the level that we think they'll earn after the legacy mortgage costs stop going through the income statement."
- Other top picks are Apache (APA) - selling assets for close to full value and buying back shares - Haliburton (HAL) - which has tendered to repurchase 4-5% of its shares - and DirecTV (DTV) - also buying back stock.
- Buyback ETFs: PKW, TTFS.
- Dividend ETFs: FDL, FVD, MDIV, QDF, QDYN, QDEF, DIV, CVY, DVY, HDV, IYLD, PEY, PFM, SCHD, SDY, SDYL, DVYL, VYM, DHS, DTD, SYLD, KBWD, SPHD, DLN, DON, HILO.
Nygren: Buyback stocks cheaper than dividend payers
Aug 21 2013, 08:47 ET
Could you be more specific? I'd be interested in your reasons why you see the US government planning on destroying the company.
Are you not forgetting about companies that do not pay dividends, do not buy back shares, like, say, CRM, NFLX, Tesla, AMZN, GOOG, FB, etc. Are these shares there just to disprove any financial theory. Why no new thesis coming around to accommodate these "anaomalies" or they would be carried along as stocks that do not follow any "rules or reasons". Next time you publish any please remember "nothing is that simple" as they seem. ( It is opposite to anything that glitters ..).

Sequencing the SARS Virus
In April 2003, we at the Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) publicly released the first complete sequence assembly of the coronavirus now believed to be the cause of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). The GSC has been using Linux for all of its analysis, storage and network infrastructure since its inception in 1999. The sequence data from the SARS Project was stored, processed and publicly distributed from a number of Linux servers, from the capable and slim IBM x330 to the behemoth eight-way Xeon x440. Linux has provided a flexible infrastructure allowing us to automate nearly every process in our sequencing pipeline. With the support of the Linux community, by way of newsgroups, Web articles and HOWTOs, we have been able to leverage commodity and mid-range hardware in an incredibly cost-efficient manner.
Since the first documented incidence of SARS on November 16, 2002, the virus has been responsible for a total of 8,458 cases reported in China (92%), Canada (3%), Singapore (2%) and the United States (1%), as well as in more than 25 other countries. SARS mortality rate is roughly 5–10% and as high as 50% in people older than 60. As of June 24, 2003, SARS has claimed 807 lives and has had a profoundly negative impact on the economies of the affected regions—China alone stands to lose billions of dollars in revenue from tourism and taxation.
On March 27, 2003, the director of our Centre, Marco Marra, and our project leader, Caroline Astell, decided to sequence the SARS coronavirus. At 1AM on April 7, 2003, approximately 50ng of genetic material from the Tor2 isolate of the pathogen, derived from a patient in Toronto, Canada, arrived from the Level 4 National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg, Canada. Five days later, on April 12, 2003, our 29,751 base assembly of the sequence of the Tor2 isolate (Tor2/SARS) of the coronavirus was posted to a Zope/Plone page on our Apache server for public access. A few days later, the sequence of the Urbani isolate was posted by the (Centers for Disease Control) CDC in Atlanta, Georgia.
Before the 1990s, technology to collect large amounts of sequence information rapidly did not exist. The Human Genome Project (HGP) began in 1991, and by 1999 only 15% of the sequence had been collected. However, thanks to new methods, which were developed during the 1990s, the HGP turned sharply toward completion. By mid-2000, 90% of the human sequence was available, and currently the genome sequence essentially is complete. Data from sequencing projects like HGP is stored and publicly accessible through NCBI's Genbank.
During its first ten years of operation (1982–1992), Genbank collected just over 100MB of sequence in 80,000 records. During the next decade (1992–2002) Genbank's rate of growth skyrocketed, and the database grew to 29GB—ten times the size of the human genome—in 22 million records. Genbank receives on the order of 10,000 sequence records each day from sequencing labs across the world. One of these labs is the GSC, which on April 13, 2003, deposited the sequence of Tor2/SARS to Genbank. To see how Linux was involved in the process leading to the submission of sequence gi:29826276, we need to go back to the beginning.
In June 1999, the lab consisted of six beige-box computers and just as many people. The central file server (2xP3-400, 512MB of RAM, Red Hat 5.2 and 2.0.36 kernel) was serving out three RAID-0 18GB SCSI disks using a DPT IV card. Another 50GB of software RAID was exported by a second machine (P3-400). With three other Linux clients and a Microsoft Windows NT station, these machines were on the BC Cancer Agency (BCCA) network.
The timing of our beginnings worked to our advantage. Like all research labs, we needed to share disks, distribute processes, compile software and store and munge data. In other words, all the things at which UNIX excels. Had we started 2–3 years earlier, adopting the fledgling Linux would have been difficult. It's likely that, instead of now relegating inexpensive old PCs to office or less-intensive network tasks, we would be trying to maximize return on our substantial investment of aging Sun servers. Fortunately, it turned out that it was possible to buy the relatively inexpensive PCs, install Linux and have a robust, flexible and incredibly cost-effective UNIX environment. Thanks to Linux, it was no longer necessary to spend an entire salary on a UNIX workstation.
It was a good time to choose Linux. The 2.0 kernel was rock solid; the NFS server was stabilizing, and a choice of full-featured desktop environments was available. We were able to download or compile the essential toolbox for bioinformatics analysis, such as the open-source workhorses of the HGP: BLAST (sequence comparison), Phred (base calling of traces produced by sequencers), Phrap (sequence assembly) and Consed (visualization of sequence assemblies), as well as various sequence and protein databases. Of course, Perl filled in any cracks. Our cost of entry into getting computational work done was low, and we could spend grant funds more efficiently to expand the lab (Figure 1).
Silly move. Your loss.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

absolutely no zoom! we were so close! (please give credit if you're gonna take it…)
8 October | 11:08pmmy cousin took this picture! Gianluca at the Nob Hill Masonic Center-September 29, 2012
8 October | 11:00pmlet me just start off with giaNLUCA GINOBLE KISSED MY HAND!!!!!! i will never forget him looking down at me with a huge smile on his face, we made eye contact, i just kept looking at him and smiling and i think my face had an expression that i couldn't believe i was face to face with Gianluca and so close to him. microphone in one hand, reached out for my hand with the other and freaken kissed it and looks at me while i melt!! i think i screamed or something after but omg so many butterflies just thinking about it, i wanted to cry because Gianluca acknowledged me, he looked at me and smiled then grabbed my hand and kissed it and i can still feel his sweet lips on my hand i am never going to wash it
Even though i did not have the meet and greet, i still had an amazing time!! my cousin and i didn't have the best seats, but the sound from where we were sitting was simply amazing. i literally got goosebumps just hearing their voices. and when they came out, i cried. like real tears. while we were walking to the venue we saw a guy selling flowers and we bought the boys some, it was sort of like an impulse buy we were like how will we give it to them?? WE'LL FIND A WAY. and we did! we slipped notes into each and at the end when they started to sing O' Sole Mio, we ran to the stage and i tried to hand piero my rose and i kept waiving at him and signaling that the rose was for him but he never waved back or anything :c i stayed there obivously looking up at them and dancing and when gianluca saw me ugh those eyes <3 and that's when he kissed my hand! i was so happy! ignazio came around and i gave him Piero's rose.
overall it was such a spectacular experience! personally i had a lot more fun than last year, ugh tonight was perfect. i can die of happiness now since Gianluca kissed my hand! :)
I cannot believe it. honestly guys it hasn't even sunk in yet. in 24 hours i will have already seen them. i get to be in the same room as them, i get to smile at them and get chills from hearing their amazing voices live. i can't believe all this happens TOMORROW. like is this really happening?? laskfjlasf
is anyone else going to the SF show??
In 10 more days I will be the happiest most enthusiastic person in the world: the day I go to the il Volo concert in San Francisco! I'm sadly not meeting my babes BUT I should be grateful that I got tickets to breathe the same air as them!! :) haha
Today is also my 17th birthday! Oh how I wish my boys could sing me happy birthday!
P.s: say hi if you're also at the sf show! :)
@gianginoble11 :)
and If you guys want to follow me, I follow back! @jesspedraza
It was twin day at my school today so of course my cousin and I had to wear our Il Volo tshirts! It's so nice to have someone that is equally as obsessed as I am with the boys. We call eachother up at random times of the day just to fan girl over them, we send eachother pictures and lyric bits :) Last time I posted on here I think i was upset because I had just found out that all the tickets to their San Francisco concert on September 29th were COMPLETEly sold out… but luckily craigslist helped me find a lady who was unable to go to the concerts, so she sold us two tickets and the seats are awesome because they're aisle seats and so close to the stage! AND ahhhh i'm so excited to see them again! I pray to God that we're able to meet them this time:)
**If anyone on here is going to their San Francisco show, look for us! and say hi! :)
24 August | 01:02amI am so sorry for not being able to post anything recently :( i feel terrible about it but school and babysitting and work are just consuming me D: For those who still follow me, I LOVE YOU! I track the Il Volo tag on my personal tumblr so I am up to date with everything Il Volo. there are some great Il Volo blogs on here! :)

Ashford will hope to make the most of the improved confidence that has come from the last two matches as they entertain Leighton Town on Saturday. Opponents Leighton, like ourselves, have endured something of a miserable season and will arrive at Short Lane with just one win from their last 16 league matches, a 3-2 triumph at North Greenford.
Ashford's display at Leighton earlier in the season will rank as one of the club's poorest ever efforts and that is another reason for needing another decent display this afternoon. North Greenford, just outside the relegation places are at home to Daventry today and fair play to them if they get anything from the encounter but if Ashford could manage a win today, it may well put us just six points behind our Middlesex neighbours and give us something to play for over the remaining matches. Relegation is by no means a certainty yet, certainly not after the way the team has performed over the last two matches.

Ashford's mini revival continued on Tuesday evening with a nil-nil draw at home to Aylesbury. Whilst in the normal scheme of things that might not be a result that would generate excitement of any kind, it becomes almost massive when you have come off the back of 20 odd defeats in a row.
Ashford made two enforced changes from the side that drew at Royston on Saturday with both Jim Mann and James Awosifan missing. Russ Canderton returned to the side whilst Rhys Price (apologies for wrong name on original post), following his debut from the bench on Saturday, started the match. Dan Hughes was also back, again on the bench.
With Aylesbury equally competitive, especially ex-Ashford player Adam Logie who could well have seen red for some nasty first half challenges, the match was fast and furious. As the scoreline indicates though, chances at either end were comparatively rare with both sides cancelling each other out overall, but from Ashford's point of view, it was heartening to see the spirit with which the side played, and it certainly looks as if the tide may generally be turning a bit.
Once again it would be wrong to single too many players out but Price and Conor Moody ran their socks off and Conor in particular is suddenly looking a different player. Everyone stuck to their task though and as a whole will be looking forward to the visit of Leighton Town on Saturday, especially as the performance at their ground earlier in the season bordered on the shameful. Win or lose, that is unlikely to be the case on Saturday. Finally, a big thank you to our supporters who are few in numbers but they were nearly all there last night and their support for the side was immense throughout.
Don't forget that on Thursday evening, the Suburban side will be at home to Walton & Hersham Reserves in a league match, kick-off 7.45 p.m.
Manager's Notes and Squad Update

We are prepared and we have the passion to take this game tonight.
Before the Royston game, I spoke to my squad with complete honesty and asked them to prove to me that they have belief. That belief that they can work as a unit to get a result. We took the game to Royston and they didn't like it, we have had enough of teams turning up and thinking that we will just lie down and give them the result without a fight. It is not the way that my teams work and it is not the way that Ashford Town (Middlesex) works.
We dominated proceedings in the second half and scored two deserved goals to get in front. That's right, we scored goals and took it to a team very much capable of getting promoted. It's about time we got ourselves moving up the points tally, the expression of relief was clear to the squad. A gritty away point that we took back on the mini-bus was fully earned. An important point.
Every time we end a game, we analyse it, we look at what we need to work on and these players have a great, positive attitude to that. We are hungry to win and strengthen our challenge to the teams above us in the league. The passion and the confidence are there, the quality is there and we believe the results will come, too.
Saturday saw me give game time to promising 17-year old Alex Fisher, who has performed well in reserve squad games and in my training sessions. Another two of the Under 18s were signed on forms this past week with goalkeeper Jake Taylor and defensive midfielder Joe McBride joining the 1st team squad setup. It may not be the ideal scenario to bring these youngsters into, but if you are good enough, then for me, you're old enough.
The only long-term injury concern in the squad is Scott Elgar who came off last Tuesday night, he has aggravated a previous hip injury, which needs minor surgery and thus meaning he will be out of action for the rest of the month at least. Greg Ngeno also injured his ankle in that game and we are hopeful he will be fit for Saturday's game vs Leighton.
We have a run of home games now, in which it is important to gain some points to cut down the gap, I ask that we make the atmosphere as positive as possible to help us through these games!

Anyway, you guys all mentioned about back ups, I keep backups too, but you have a flaw in your theory. These backups won't help you with your DMCA notices to the web hosts, as they either want to confirm the content is on your site now, or they want an independent 3rd party snapshot to prove your content was there first. That's where Wayback has helped us in shutting down several hundred sites in the last few months. Think of it as a necessary evil. Your fears about the IA robot seem more conspiracy theory than actual practice. They steal my blog entries off my site that are not even on the wayback archive. I'm more concerned about my own site being the source of scraping than the wayback.
There's another forum at Webmaster World where Copyright is on topic. I'm sure the participants there would be willing to debate these issues until the cows come in.
Also guys, just because you have backups of your site 2 years ago on your pc does not in anyway prove to the web host that you are the copyright owner. I don't understand where you're coming from when you say just use your local pc backups. We hit brick walls when we cannot show somewhere online where our copyright content currently exists.
You really need to explore backup procedures.
The thought of backing up your data to the source machine your trying to protect is an absurd thought.
Standard practices are two external media devices, with the second being stored in a secondary location.

BACKGROUND: Autism and Asperger syndrome (ASP) are neurobiological conditions with overlapping behavioral symptoms and of unknown etiologies. Results from previous autism neuroimaging studies have been difficult to replicate, possibly owing to site differences in subject samples, scanning procedures, and image-processing methods. We sought (1) to determine whether low-functioning autism (LFA; IQ<70), high-functioning autism (HFA; IQ>or=70), and ASP constitute distinct biological entities as evidenced by neuroanatomical measures, and (2) to assess for intersite differences. METHODS: Case-control study examining coronally oriented 124-section spoiled gradient echo images acquired on 3 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems, and processed by BrainImage 5.X. Participants were recruited and underwent scanning at 2 academic medicine departments. Participants included 4 age-matched groups of volunteer boys aged 7.8 to 17.9 years (13 patients with LFA, 18 with HFA, 21 with ASP, and 21 control subjects), and 3 volunteer adults for neuroimaging reliability. Main outcome measures included volumetric measures of total, white, and gray matter for cerebral and cerebellar tissues. RESULTS: Intersite differences were seen for subject age, IQ, and cerebellum measures. Cerebral gray matter volume was enlarged in both HFA and LFA compared with controls (P =.009 and P =.04, respectively). Cerebral gray matter volume in ASP was intermediate between that of HFA and controls, but nonsignificant. Exploratory analyses revealed a negative correlation between cerebral gray matter volume and performance IQ within HFA but not ASP. A positive correlation between cerebral white matter volume and performance IQ was observed within ASP but not HFA. CONCLUSIONS: Lack of replication between previous autism MRI studies could be due to intersite differences in MRI systems and subjects' age and IQ. Cerebral gray tissue findings suggest that ASP is on the mild end of the autism spectrum. However, exploratory assessments of brain-IQ relationships reveal differences between HFA and ASP, indicating that these conditions may be neurodevelopmentally different when patterns of multiple measures are examined. Further investigations of brain-behavior relationships are indicated to confirm these findings.

Architecture and memory are inseparable when architectural changes are introduced in a human environment. Basic geometrical shapes and the use of natural light to generate space are the main characteristics of his architectural style. Since he first started with family homes in the canton of Ticino, he has branched out into many different kinds of constructions: schools, banks, administrative buildings, libraries, museums, religious buildings.
Architecture is his passion and he has always been committed to teaching and sharing his knowledge.

Becoming average once was a breakthrough for Real Salt Lake. When the team went 10-10-10 and made the Major League Soccer playoffs in 2008, that was an achievement for the franchise.
RSL at Chivas USA

RSL's starts
Real Salt Lake's 12-game starts of the past five seasons, with final regular-season records:

Now that RSL is playing at that level again, it represents regression. RSL is 5-5-2 entering Sunday's game against Chivas USA in Los Angeles, while still trying to find itself after a roster makeover.
"We're average right now, in the standings," said veteran defender Nat Borchers. "I don't think we're an average team, but we have average results. We need to ask more of ourselves, for sure."
That's a healthy outlook, and it's true. But here's the thing: The MLS season is so long that I'm finding it difficult to summon much outrage about Real's performance so far. In terms of the calendar, no sport invests as much time in its regular season as soccer, and then the playoffs suddenly are over.
RSL began the 2013 season in March, when baseball teams were just starting to play spring training games, and will conclude in late October, during Week 7 of the NFL schedule.
So amid some disappointing efforts, the 5-5-2 start is not disastrous. It's true that RSL is the only team that's lost to D.C. United, and there have been other letdowns, such as a 2-0 home loss to the Los Angeles Galaxy and RSL's giving up two late goals in a 3-2 defeat at Montreal last Saturday.
Yet after three years when the team went a combined 47-26-25 but failed to return to the MLS Cup final, I'm recognizing the diminished value of the regular season. When coach Jason Kreis says his team is playing better than its record suggests, that's more of a good thing than a sign of underachieving.
"I certainly don't think we've picked up any points that we didn't deserve," Kreis said. "And unfortunately, I feel that way a lot. Maybe that's just my bias."
Everybody knew this season would require some patience, with a rebuilding process that was launched in December when Will Johnson, Fabian Espindola and Jamison Olave were traded in necessary cost-cutting moves. They were significant contributors to a five-year run of playoff appearances and a bunch of regular-season victories. RSL management kept the team together to make one last run, which failed to meet expectations.

So here's Real, standing fourth in the Western Conference going into this weekend's play — but having played at least one more game than just about everybody else.
Becoming cohesive remains difficult, with injuries creating series of makeshift lineups. Improved health should result in more consistency. RSL's offense has shown to be more capable this season, although that's not necessarily reflected in the net.
"We're creating a tremendous amount of chances in matches that we're just not finishing — and I don't mean half-chances, I mean ones that are clear-cut chances, inside the box," Kreis said.
Kreis also said, "If you had told me before the season that we could start 5-5-2, I'm pretty sure I would have taken it."
Stopping short of commending RSL for that start, I'll label it acceptable. As this team has demonstrated in its failures of the past three years — and again this season — finishing really is what matters.

nice to see you made it back safe from vegas. i say i die trying not to let people down. it's tough when you have a lot of people depending on you. no i won't let you down.... but your husband did lose you in that poker game, so are you going to let me down?
After it took me three hours to glue you to the ceiling? I think not.
I never let anyone down. :)
Once I fly you to safety.
damn I defenitly would... not because I'd want to just because I'm way to stubborn xD
Only after every drop enters you
You can stay up there until you apologise.
I'd like to think I wouldn't, but unfortunately I'd probably disappoint you.
Well, you're the one who wanted to join the mile high club!
Sure, I'll let you down gently onto the bed! :)
not if you're going to start out our conversation like that!
Probably, I'm not perfect.

By Jamie Dupree
Here is a Presidential memorandum as released by the White House, which orders the acquisition of a prison in Illinois to house terrorist detainees now being held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba.
After reading this - what do you think of the move? Will it matter? Why is it a mistake? Or why is it the right move?
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release December 15, 2009
December 15, 2009
SUBJECT: Directing Certain Actions with Respect to
Acquisition and Use of Thomson Correctional
Center to Facilitate Closure of Detention
Facilities at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base
By the authority vested in me as President and as Commander
in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of America,
including the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public
Law 107-40, 115 Stat. 224), and in order to facilitate the
closure of detention facilities at the Guantanamo Bay Naval
Base, I hereby direct that the following actions be taken as
expeditiously as possible with respect to the facility known
as the Thomson Correctional Center (TCC) in Thomson, Illinois:
1. The Attorney General shall acquire and activate the TCC as
a United States Penitentiary, which the Attorney General
has determined would reduce the Bureau of Prisons' shortage
of high security, maximum custody cell space and could be
used for other appropriate inmate or detainee management
purposes. The Attorney General shall also provide to the
Department of Defense a sufficient portion of the TCC to
serve as a detention facility to be operated by the
Department of Defense in order to accommodate the
relocation of detainees by the Secretary of Defense
in accordance with paragraph 2 of this memorandum.
2. The Secretary of Defense, working in consultation with the
Attorney General, shall prepare the TCC for secure housing
of detainees currently held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval
Base who have been or will be designated for relocation,
and shall relocate such detainees to the TCC, consistent
with laws related to Guantanamo detainees and the findings
in, and interagency Review established by, Executive
Order 13492 of January 22, 2009.
This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any
right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at
law or in equity, by any party against the United States, its
departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees,
or agents, or any other person.
The Secretary of Defense is authorized and directed to publish
this memorandum in the
Federal Register.BARACK OBAMA

Israel is set to participate in NATO activities despite opposition from Turkey. Until the end of 2012, Israel was considered a NATO partner and as such participated in the organization's seminars, exercises and training.
The approval of Israel's wider involvement in the Alliance's military activities was granted following Turkey's request to station NATO Patriot anti-missile systems along Turkey's 900-kilometer border with crisis-torn Syria. Israel's participation in the project has been considered a great asset.
"At the last minute – and I think it was dependent on the Patriots – it was approved," said an Israeli official.
It is believed that the approval is used as a leverage to encourage Ankara to improve its ties with Jerusalem. Relations between the two have deteriorated over past years especially after the 2010 incident in which an Israeli raid on a flotilla off the coast of Gaza killed nine Turkish citizens.

We had a wonderful time during our stay. The home was larger then I imagined and very clean. There was plenty of room for my children and I and everyone was very comfortable. We also enjoyed the pool, hot tub and smoothies served at the pool bar. Restaurants were a short drive away and Downtown Disney was a 15 minute drive. Great time for all!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

An excellant all round Villa. We felt very comfortable during our stay. A proper home from home. It was also only 4 miles from Universal & 12 miles from Disney so couldn't have been better situated. We would have no hesitation in booking again if we return to Orlando.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

we had a very pleasant week during our stay at the unit we have rented at the beginning of March. Even though we are a family of 6, everyone had a lot of room to relax, read or play on the available Wii. The unit was clean and the kitchen was very convenient. all theme parks were within 15 minutes of driving and we could walk to the Publix supermarket. Unfortunatly, the weather was too cool for us to use the pool. We would warmly recommand Vista Cay to friends or for futures trips of our own.

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and very convenient for all the theme parks and local shops. There were six of us sharing but the property had more than enough room for us all and for socializing together. The kitchen had some great appliances, the fridge freezer was more than adequate, with an ice machine and a really large microwave that made life so much easier,( much better than any microwave from a size point of view that we are able to purchase in the uk). The bed was particularly comfortable, it had a lovely soft foam topper, that meant we had very restful sleep. The only thing that was confusing was the address being shown as 4816 Tidecrest Avenue. There was a block marked 4816, but it was just apartments. A more detailed map showing the location of the house and explaining the house number (rather than the 4816 address) would have been less confusing. However, we would definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to visit Orlando!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 4/4

We had a wonderful time in this condo. The unit was very clean and nicely furnished. Everything was as described and quite comfortable. The unit is spread over three floors so there is a little extra step walking, but with the main living area on the second floor, one bedroom on the first floor, and two bedrooms (including the master bedroom) on the third floor, it was not bad at all. There was plenty of room for our family of seven. The owner was very responsive to email requests. I would definitely recommend this property to others.Did you find this review helpful?

We recently stayed at the Sunny Villa and found it perfect for our needs. Clean, comfortable, and plenty of space. Nearby the convention center and other amenities made it a great location as well. Would definitely stay there again! It listed at 3 bedrooms, two with King beds in them, but only one room was a King, the other was a Queen. Also, had trouble logging on to the wireless internet.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 8/8

We really liked our vacation at your home. We did not take into account the fact that it was 3 levels. With two teenagers it was no problem, carrying all the luggage was another for me with 18 steps each level ! The description and pictures are accurate and everything is clean and safe. We did not had time to go to the pool, so much things to go. Very nicely situated between Disney and Universal. A Publix at 100meter is a plus.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with teenagers.

ISO and Agent Online, November/December 2013

There can be great beauty (and fun) within the ugly, and a great system can bring it out no matter the recording. Blues field recordings, Sam Cooke at the Harlem Square, Dylan '66, old NBC Orchestra performances with Arturo Toscanini at the helm, some sound good, some bad, but a system that can plumb the depths and pull out the emotion from the munged details is where it's at for me.
Which do you prefer: A system that always creates beauty or one that can reveal the ugly truth?
My answer lies somewhere between, leaning toward the beautiful. That is the constant battle, isn't it? Warmth in the upper bass and sweetness in the upper mids, but how much? Especially an issue, I imagine, for those of us who listen to a wide variety of music.
The reader's question "Is it better to have a decent system that allows all recordings to sound good, or to have a system that might make some not-so-hot recordings no fun to listen to?" and the one posed here "Which do you prefer: A system that always creates beauty or one that can reveal the ugly truth?" are entirely different. Both questions are biased in favor of low-resolution forgiving systems. I would change the question to: Which do you prefer, a warm forgiving system that allows all recordings to sound good, or a high resolution system that allows great recording to sound great but will also highlight how bad most recording are? A system that is only "decent" is hardly capable of always creating beauty, whereas a great revealing system will allow the beauty to shine thru (when present) and will also show that less than great recording are exactly that. This is exactly why I have several systems. My (as Corey use to say) He-Man rig is big and expensive and on great recordings is truly breathtaking, but my bedroom and office systems are much more modest and forgiving.
Actually, I really want a compromise. I don't listen to audiophile recordings all that much. They're almost universally boring. What's the point in having a hi-fi that's too good for 98% of recordings? Bottom line: Those "not-so-hot" recordings represent the vast majority of them.
Beauty for CD replay only. The sole reasoning being due to the appalling quality of both new and remastered discs. For records then I'd vote for the untarnished truth. Role on a "magical" auto filter which can detect poor quality and act accordingly.
Hopefully I'm not abusing the term, I betcha there will be a strong Bradley Effect in this poll. What card-carrying audiophile is going to publicly admit that s/he isn't interested in "the absolute sound" but is rather chasing the backwards goal of restoring realness to unsatisfactory recordings via a "musical" system? It's one thing to reproduce a recording according to your tastes, but it's quite another to hear it the way it was created to begin with. You aren't an audiophile if you subscribe to the former point of view, IMHO.
I bought my gear when "accuracy', "detail," and "neutrality' were all that seemed to matter. Well I tell you, I'm totally over itthe digital/solid state soundit's tiresome. I'm heading for the "musical,euphonic" sound, yes probably vinyl and valves(!), so I can actually enjoy my music.
Although most reproduced studio recordings are an artist's illusion and not akin to live music, I prefer to get as close to the artists intentions as possible. I do not believe in adding more distortion even if it hides flaws. And, yes many recordings suck, even the new ones as someone: the musician(s), the produce(s) and/or the engineer(s), have burned out hearing aids. Albeit, these discs will still sound more real on an unvarnished truth system.

Would you buy a pair of glasses that make the blues more vivid at the expense of making the reds more toned down? Of course not. You want to see the world as it is. The same applies to audio equipment. Always strive for an audio system that is as accurate as your budget will permit. You want to hear exactly what is recorded.
