With more than 700 miles of singletrack in Ketchum and Sun Valley and many more in the nearby Sawtooth mountains, "the mountain biking around here is a rider's paradise," says Greg Martin, director of Wood River Bike Coalition, which advocates for bikes in the area. Better still, with its dry climate, sunny summers and many mountain bike-friendly restaurants and pubs, Sun Valley is the perfect stop in any rider's itinerary. We asked Martin and three-time 24-hour solo world champion Rebecca Rusch how to find the perfect line.
What type of riding can I expect?
GM: It's definitely more "smooth and flowing" around here. If you go out far into the backcountry, such as to the Harriman trail, there are certainly some technical sections just based on design--they were built 30 years ago before we really understood how to make a sustainable trail--but overall it's very flowing.
RR: You would have no problem on a hardtail. There isn't a lot of big air or stuff like that, just good endurance riding. But there's one loop called Prairie Minor pretty close to town off of Highway 75 North, about 17 miles from Ketchum. [Park at the Prairie Creek parking area just off the highway.] The trail isn't the superfast, sweeping singletrack Sun Valley is known for. It's a little rockier and more technical.
What's the one thing I should know before I hit the trails?
RR: A lot of people underestimate the elevation (5,800 feet) and how dry the air is. You're still in the backcountry, even if you're five minutes from town. I work on the fire and emergency squads, and we get calls all the time to go up and rescue people who didn't bring enough water, didn't have any tools, crashed and broke their bike, or injured themselves. Even if you're five minutes from town, you're still in the wilderness.
GM: If you need to find out what trails are open or where the sheep are so you can avoid them, go to woodriverbike.wordpress.org.
Did you say sheep?
GM: The sheep aren't really the problem. It's the guard dogs.
RR: I was attacked last year. I was bitten and cornered by two big sheep dogs, and had to use my bike for protection. Sheep herding used to be a huge part of Sun Valley's economy and history, but it's changing as more recreational users are out in the backcountry.
What can I do if I'm not riding?
RR: Check out the town of Stanley. Sixty miles north of Ketchum, it might be known as "the coldest place in the lower 48," but there are a lot of really good hiking trails and a lot of lakes. The drive from Stanley to Ketchum along Highway 75 is probably the most beautiful in the world, I think.
GM: For nightlife, Ketchum has a variety of bars. Whiskey's (251 N. Main St.; whiskeyjacques.com) has decent live music throughout the summer. It was just rebuilt from a fire a few years back.
Where's the best place to grab some food?
GM: In Hailey, there's a bike shop that also has a restaurant. It serves freshly cut fries and incredible burgers. It started as a bike shop, and the owner thought, why can't we have killer burgers, really good food, really good beer, and a great bike shop all in one? It's called Powerhouse Bike Studio (703 North 1st Ave.; powerhousefitstudio. com), and it has a fantastic selection of Belgian beer.
RR: The two local standbys right in Ketchum are Lefty's (213 6th St. East) and Grumpy's (860 Warm Springs Rd.). They're really similar burger-and-beer places, and both have a casual atmosphere, and they're cheap. They aren't super nice or anything, but they are where the local riders like to hang out, sitting outside in the sun on the deck.
If I need to find a good wrench?
RR: Check out Elephant's Perch (280 East Ave.; elephantsperch.com), one of the oldest shops in the valley. It's in an old converted house that they've just added on and added on to. The nice thing about this shop is that everybody who works there rides. It's also a really good source for information about trails, and you can borrow a Specialized demo bike if you'd like to try something new. Ask for Jason Dykhouse, Roger Mankus or John Fox--all of them have been wrenching for 20-plus years. The shop is one of the few places in the valley that can rebuild suspension forks on-site.
What trails do I hit up first?
GM: There's an incredible cloverleaf-style network you can ride right from town: Adam's Gulch, Fox Creek, Chocolate Gulch and Oregon trail. Each one is its own little loop, but they're all connected; you can go out and put in a 20-minute lap, or you can ride for five hours. They're also the easiest to navigate and get to from town. They aren't too technical, and riders with moderate ability will eat them up.
RR: There's riding on our ski hill, Mt. Baldy, too, even though Mt. Baldy is mainly XC riding at this point. If you don't want to go very far from town, there's some great climbing and descending from the River Run and Warm Springs trails, which is what the locals like to call Traverse trail. Both of these are super fun, and Warm Springs descent has more than 3,000 feet of singletrack descending. Some people will opt to take a chairlift up, but I like to earn my turns and climb up the hard way. Find these trails by parking at the River Run parking lot on the east side of Mt. Baldy, or the Warm Springs lot on the west side.

Malice toward whom? Nicole? Never.
Malice toward whom? Nicole? Never.
Oh, and posting private information like what? That the house has an address?
I think catnip is Dave Lease just messing with people.
"Puccini cries out for spirals, but really good ones." ~ Dick Button, 1998 Worlds
Several of you sound like truly decent and thoughtful people and I'm glad to know that you exist in the world of skating.
A week or so ago, had any (polite) person simply asked me my name or how I happened to know so much about this family, I'd have told you without hesitation, although the "how" part would have taken a long, long time. Now that I'm being slandered, libeled, called words you never saw in the bible (Sorry, Paul Simon), I don't think so.
Please let me make one thing clear. I loved Nicole with all my heart when she was a child, and evidently once I truly love a child I'm not able to stop no matter what. In this case, I'd be much better off had I managed to turn against her like several others who knew them well, did with no problem. For them, she doesn't even exist. I will evidently always care about her and try too hard to take up for her and that may be my one curse in life.
But I get it. You've had enough and should be allowed to go back to expressing your opinions or whatever, about Nicole that is, unless you wish to waste your time continuing to express you opinions about me. I never meant to become a distraction. I honestly didn't.
So that's what you are doing here--taking up for her by revealing personal information about her to people who have no business knowing it?
People might want to know such things, but that doesn't make it their business. YOU have chosen to make it their business; why?
I understand rationalizing, but have you honestly convinced yourself that you are airing Nicole's dirty laundry on the internet because you love her?
No one here needs anyone's permission, least of all yours, to express their opinions; you aren't allowing anything, nor, as should be obvious from reading this thread, has your presence blocked anyone from expressing an opinion.
Trolling dates all the way back to 397 B.C. - People began following Plato around and would make fart noises after everything he said.
The point I was trying to make is that Nicole lives in a small, conservative community where people have now seen her dirty laundry aired, and I doubt they will flock to her store to buy scented soaps and whatever other old fashioned grandma stuff she peddles.Is there someplace that does embrace meth dealers?
Were she in a large community like Miami, she could blend in, and yes, because of her fame and looks, she could be embraced.
People did ask you and you posted some general information that included quite a few negative things about other people from Nicole's life, but not much about you. As for you name, I highly doubt it you were ever planning to reveal it. How convenient for you that now you feel slighted so you won't have to.
You're "being slandered, libeled, called words you never saw in the bible"? You're sure creepy's not in the Bible? (I thought everything was ). Oh come on. People have started to question your status and your motivation so you decided to get offended? Also, I find it a curious coincidence that just yesterday I informed you that every poster could be sued for libel if they post something that's untrue or damaging to someone and now you're leaving.
For the record, I don't necessarily think the things you posted didn't have any truth to them or that you didn't know Nicole and her family. I just think you're a person with an agenda, which might be some unresolved issues with Nicole's family/friends, and instead of either forgetting it or going back to the source, you've decided to air it on a message board. Which is not that cool, and don't blame others for calling you out on it.
Every single one of that person's 48 posts on this forum involve Bobek. Enough said.
Since this thread is now all about catnip (which I'm pretty sure was his/her intent), and not current information about Nicole's sentencing, thread closed.
Q: Why can't I read the competition threads?
A: Competition forums on the board are available to those with a Season Pass or a premium membership How to View Kiss & Cry

Goodwill's Bike-oween
This year's theme is bike-oween. Not sure if that has been a previous promotion on windows at Goodwills, but the DIY+wallet-friendly is the way to go.
The one located on Van Ness +Mission is in full bike-mode. These bike-oween window ads have been up for a few days, I hadn't been off the bus to snap some fotos, but had the chance today:
Calacas are also Giants fans and ready to join the big Critical Mass halloween ride tonight.
This is also a Goodwill, on Fillmore+Post:
On the flip-side, this local magazine's blog has some links to buy new stuff ranging from h+m to jcrew. I have never been to an h+m and that's OK. I think the little custome-collage post they did was pretty cute: Look of the Week: Pee-wee Herman Halloween Costume for Him and Her
For the Castro-banned halloween party generations, 7x7 also has some event-guide post with some local festivities: Where to Dress Up, Party, and Get Down This Halloween
SF fun cheap is the ultimate guide to everything, fun and cheap.
This Saturday there is SF's local brewery Speakeasy's 2012 Haunted Halloween Party in the Bayview, Michael Jackson thriller zombie dance-off in Oakland,
Critical Mass
Halloween is one of the best masses of the year as you get to see everyone and their alter ego out +about. Well, that could actually be year-round because it is San Francisco after all :)
Meets every last-Friday, 530PM on @Justin Herman Plaza.
The Friday/Critical Mass in 2009 was super fun :)

NEW YORK, N.Y. - The Rockies, Orioles, Indians, Marlins, Royals and Brewers won picks after the first round of next year's draft in Major League Baseball's second annual competitive balance lottery.
The lottery involved the 10 teams with the lowest revenue and 10 in the smallest markets and was six picks after the first round. A club's odds of winning the lottery were based on its winning percentage last season.
The teams that did not win a pick after the first round were entered into another lottery for picks after the second round.
The Padres, Diamondbacks, Cardinals, Rays, Pirates and Mariners won second-round picks.
The competitive balance draft was agreed upon as part of the labour agreement that went into effect in 2012.

EOS Bodies / Re: Canon EOS 7D Mark II in 2014 [CR2]
« on: November 12, 2013, 08:54:27 PM »
I moved up to a 6D this past Spring for improved IQ, low noise, and high iso. I love it, but I sorely miss the af and fps of my 7D; though I still use it, I find the 6D comes in more handy for my night shooting and indoor event shots. Barring some unanticipated bad thing, I will absolutely be adding the 7D II as soon as it's available.

Champagne Brunch: SO MUCH FUN. The food was fantastic! Separate tables for pastries, hot items, cold items, fruits, fresh cut meats, desserts (YUM!) Free-flowing champagne (I definitely had at least a bottle.) The servers were pretty attentive. I was definitely stuffed after consuming more than I should have, but it was a happy full.Great views, good food, overall good time.
– Kim J
Albert was very friendly, funny, and amazing! I would not even drink half glass of my champagne and here comes the gentleman re-filling our glasses. You all truly gave us the BEST service we've ever received in our lives. The service was top notch. Thank you all for the amazing experience. Great Job!!!!!

Societe Generale actively supporting the French Paralympic team
Throughout the Winter Paralympic Games in Sochi, the Group will be actively supporting the French athletes. Keep up-to-date with all the latest news about the French team's performances and experiences in Sochi on our Tous handisport pages on Facebook and Twitter.
4 conductors, 4 women, 4 points of view
"Do women conductors exist?" At a time when only 3% of concerts in France are conducted by a woman, it is about time this question was raised.
For international Women's Day, Mécénat Musical Société Générale gives a voice to four conductors or ensemble directors: Laurence Equilbey, Emmanuelle Haïm, Françoise Lasserre and Katarina Livljanić.
A long history of entrepreneurs
150 years of history
Societe Generale is celebrating its 150th anniversary. Our history is not just about the past, it is also about what we are today and what we want to be in the future.
Entrepreneurial spirit - Innovation spirit - Team spirit
Pauline Mondange, a woman of conviction
Spring 1917. The war was bogged down in a bloody stalemate. Pauline Mondange, a young shorthand typist, emerged from obscurity to become the voice of Societe Generale's female employees. Here's a look at an iconic figure.
The Citizen Commitment Games challenge is on!
Societe Generale celebrates its 150th anniversary by showcasing team spirit. It created a community-building athletic challenge for all its employees who want to raise funds for partner associations.

The One SeaGate Building in downtown Toledo had to be evacuated due to a strong burning odor on the upper floors Tuesday afternoon.
Toledo Fire Lieutenant Matthew Hetrzfeld says the fire smell originated somewhere in the motor system for a bank of elevators on the building's top floor. The fire smell then spread to the top 10 or so floors of the building, leading to an evacuation. Toledo Fire crews responded to the call, but determined there was no threat of a fire.
Hetrzfeld says people will be allowed back in the building as soon as the smell dissipates.

Transportation as civil right, OG Seattle edition
A few Saturdays ago (around the same time this article was making the rounds on the internets), I participated in a Civil Rights walking tour of my neighborhood, sponsored by the Squire Park In Motion program. The tour was a lot of fun (thankfully for Chicklet and Busling, many parks are named for Civil Rights heroes), and I even learned something new.
In the early 60s, the Central Area didn't have any crosstown bus routes. This, of course, made it difficult for the neighborhood's residents to travel to other parts of the city*, including (and especially) the University …

What's better than a walk-up window?
As I've mentioned several (perhaps too many) times, one of things I love about our home is its proximity to many of our regular destinations. Who needs a car (or, for that matter, a gym membership) when so much of your life is within walking distance? If you remove commuting from the equation, we Chick-Nerds walk at least as much as we bus–probably more.
Case in point: Our pediatrician's office is a mere block away. (As My Gail put it when she visited after Chicklet was born, "not much farther than a trip across a parking lot.") …

Yea his dunk over Oden made it and that was not even his best of the season.
The block was the best highlight of the season to me though. I mean to block one of the top 5 players in the nba who is a great high riser and dunker on back to back plays, pretty amazing. Without doubt the best block of the year. No way it should miss the top 10.

HURRICANE, W.Va. -- In showing its ability to roll with the punches Wednesday night, the Hurricane softball team showed that it can beat top opponents not just with good pitching and defense.
Want to get into a slugfest with the defending Mountain State Athletic Conference champions? Good luck with that.
The Class AAA No. 5 Redskins won their second game against a top-five opponent in as many days Wednesday, this time one-upping No. 2 Cabell Midland every time the Knights made an offensive push and eventually outlasting their guests 15-13 at Hurricane High.
"That was really stressful, but I knew if we just kept hitting the ball my defense would take care of it," Redskins sophomore pitcher Emily Davis said after picking up the win in relief of starter Courtney Rogers.
"I knew we had good offense to hit the ball. We just never stopped hitting," said Davis, who went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI at the plate.
It was a good thing for Hurricane (15-2) that it didn't let off the gas after the Redskins lineup posted Rogers to a 7-1 lead after four innings. Rogers, who threw a three-hit shutout in beating No. 4 St. Albans on Tuesday night, saw her velocity tail off just enough by the fifth that Midland bats caught up to her.
When they did, they did so in a big way. Midland No. 9 hitter Makayla Waugh began a five-run fifth win a triple, and the Knights (12-2) combined five consecutive singles with a pair of Hurricane errors to pull to within 7-6.
Hurricane answered with three runs in the bottom of the fifth before Midland came back with five more in the top of the sixth, an inning highlighted by a Savannah Eplin two-run double and three more Hurricane errors.
By the time the sixth ended, Midland had an 11-10 lead and Hurricane Coach Josh Caldwell had pulled Rogers, trading her spots with Davis, who started at third base.
"We made way too many mistakes there late. We kind of got tight, I thought, defensively," Caldwell said. "But what can you say. I mean, 15 runs against the No. 2-ranked team in the state. I'll take that."
Midland Coach Jeanne Lunsford had gone to her bullpen much earlier, pulling ace Kyla Shull in the third inning after Shull had thrown 66 pitches and struck out seven, but had lost much of her effectiveness after taking a line-drive off her glove hand, stoving her fingers.

Welcome to the Museum
The Museum is located in the peaceful surroundings of Stacey Hill Farm. Stacey Hill Farm was built early in the Victorian era as a model farm. It was located on the the outskirts of Wolverton, one of the UK's original "railway towns". Today the buildings overlook the "new city" of Milton Keynes but when they were built they were in the middle of the countryside. Our extensive displays portray the history and development of the North Buckinghamshire and South Northamptonshire area. The area has changed greatly over the years, culminating in 1960s with the creation of Milton Keynes, the UK's largest and last "new city".

Value Line's Aggressive Growth objective group is, by design, broadbased. It is meant to house any equity fund that invests predominantly in higher-risk common stocks or that has a stated policy of maximum growth without regard to income or time horizons. This clearly covers a lot of ground.
Note, however, that funds with specific market capitalization specializations and those that invest in narrow industries are often placed into other, more appropriate, objective groups. For example, funds with a focus on small companies are more appropriate in the Small Company objective group for comparison purposes.
That said, there is often a very fine line between a fund that falls into the Aggressive Growth objective and any number of other objectives, including Growth and Small Cap. Much ultimately depends on a judgment call.
The names of the funds in this group don't normally have the word aggressive in them, though some do. One overriding feature, however, is the level of risk that managers here are willing to accept. Thus, a fund with the word "value" in its name might very well find its way into this objective group because it invests extensively in turnaround situations—an aggressive tactic that materially increases both risk and potential reward.
Very often, the funds in this objective group have concentrated portfolios. While some argue that these types of funds concentrate investment in a manager's best ideas, it is undeniable that a smaller number of holdings also reduces diversification—which often increases risk. These types of funds can have the terms "select," "focused," or "concentrated" in their names to denote the relatively small number of holdings, though that is not always the case.
Included in this category are funds that are designed to outperform an index, such as the S&P 500 Index, NASDAQ, or The Dow Jones Industrial Average, by a margin of two or, in some cases, three to one. These funds are designed to outperform an index by going up twice as fast, for example, as the S&P 500. Such funds use leveraged instruments, including equity index swaps, futures contracts, and options to achieve their required results. This type of fund allows individual investors to hedge at least a percentage of their investment portfolio as an alternative to selling a fund when prices appear to be high. As an example, such funds can also be used to hedge an individual retirement account portfolio. Losses in an IRA cannot be deducted from ordinary income, so such hedges help protect gains.
Over the long term, the Aggressive Growth objective group has been a decent performer relative to the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500. For the 10-year period ended May 31, 2012, the group had an annualized gain of 3.5%, while the S&P 500 reported an annualized gain of 4.1%. For five years and three years, the group had annualized returns of -1.4% and 12.2%, respectively, while the S&P 500 reported annualized gains of -0.9% and 14.9% respectively. During the past year, the Aggressive Growth objective group underperformed, and reported a return of -6.0%, below the S&P 500, which had a return of -0.4%. Also, year to date through May 31, 2012, the group reported a gain of 3.8% compared with a gain of 5.1% for the Index. The group has an average Risk Rank of 3, indicating that funds in this group might appeal to a broad range of investors. That said, as the stock market continues to seesaw, funds with concentrated portfolios may be quite volatile.
One fund with an excellent year-to-date return through May 31, 2012 is SunAmerica Focused Growth Fund (SSAAX). This fund seeks long term growth of capital. The fund's principal investment strategies are growth and "focused." The growth oriented philosophy to which the fund subscribes—that of investing in securities believed to offer the potential for long-term growth of capital—focuses on securities with a historical record of above-average earnings growth; significant potential for earnings growth; proven or unusual products or services.
A focused strategy is one in which an investment adviser actively invests in a small number of holdings which constitute its favorite stock-picking ideas at any given moment. A focus philosophy reflects the belief that, over time, the performance of most investment managers' "highest confidence" stocks exceeds that of their more diversified portfolios. The fund will generally hold between 30 to 50 securities, although it may, in its discretion, hold less than 30 securities.
Another fund with a relatively good return is Hartford Growth Opportunity Fund A (HGOAX). This fund seeks capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of mid to large capitalization stocks covering a broad range of industries, companies and market capitalizations that the sub-adviser, Wellington Management Company, LLP, believes have superior growth potential. The fund invests up to 25% of its total assets in foreign issuers and non-dollar securities. It uses fundamental analysis to identify companies with accelerating operating characteristics for purchase.
A third fund with a relatively good year-to-date return is MassMutual Select Growth Opportunities Fund (MMAAX). This fund seeks long-term capital appreciation. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common or preferred stock, rights, and warrants. The fund typically invests most of its assets in equity securities of U.S. companies, but may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs").
The fund is non-diversified, meaning it may hold larger positions in a smaller number of stocks than a diversified fund. The fund is managed by two subadvisers, Sands Capital Management, LLC and Delaware Management Company, each being responsible for a portion of the portfolio, but not necessarily equally weighted.
Sands Capital seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks believed to have potential for dramatic wealth creation using bottom-up, fundamental research and focusing on six key investment criteria: sustainable, above average earnings growth, a leadership position in a promising business space, significant competitive advantages/unique business franchise, a clear mission and value-added focus, financial strength, and rational valuation relative to the market and business prospects.
Sands Capital does not typically invest in companies with market capitalizations less than $1 billion. DMC seeks to select securities that it believes are undervalued in relation to their intrinsic value, as indicated by multiple factors, including the return on capital above its cost of capital. DMC will normally invest in common stocks of companies with market capitalizations of at least $3 billion at the time of purchase. Each subadviser may consider selling a security for the fund, if, for example, in its judgment, the prospects for future growth do not look promising , a more attractive opportunity is identified, if fundamentals unexpectedly change or if valuations are stretched past fair value.

State of the Re:Union with Al Letson: East Jackson, Ohio: As Black as We Wish to Be
State of the Re:Union with Al Letson: East Jackson, Ohio: As Black as We Wish to Be
Sun, 06/16/2013 - 9:00pm
Al Letson and guest producer Lu Olkowski visit a tiny town in the Appalachian foothills of Ohio where, for a century, residents have shared the common bond of identifying as African-American despite the fact that they look white in State of the Re:Union with Al Letson: East Jackson, Ohio: As Black as We Wish to Be, airing Sunday, June 16, 2013 at 9 p.m. on AM 1370/FM-HD 91.5-2. Racial lines have been blurred to invisibility, and people inside the same family can vehemently disagree about whether they are black or white. It can be tense and confusing. As a result, everyone's choosing: Am I black? Am I mixed race? Or, am I white? Adding to the confusion, there-s a movement afoot to recognize their Native-American heritage.
SOTRU is hosted by Public Radio Talent Quest Winner and performance artist Al Letson. With a journalistic, documentary-style approach, each hour-long program focuses exclusively on one city, region, or other community and features interviews, commentary, recordings, listener-generated letters, and music.

Clarke County Career and Technology Center (Vo-Tech) students now have the opportunity to broaden their knowledge on two things they are already familiar with: food and children.
Culinary Arts and Early Childhood Education are two new programs that have joined the academic and hands-on approaches to learning taking place at CCCTC – also known as "on the hill." Through the programs, students will find out that there is more to food than just tasting it and more to children than just babysitting.
According to Chundra Blakley, CCCTC student coordinator, individuals with an education or training in culinary arts or early childhood education are highly employable.
"Particularly in our region," Blakley said "Numerous opportunities exist for individuals seeking careers in these areas, whether working for someone or beginning their own business.
"In our area's larger cities/towns, many culinary arts careers can be found in restaurants, both national chain restaurants and locally owned establishments, but throughout our region numerous small locally owned restaurants, delicatessens and catering businesses can be found as well," she said. "In addition to food industry jobs in the region, we have several preschool day cares, a HeadStart Program, pre-kindergarten programs,and elementary schools and being located within an hour's drive of larger cities/towns many other occupational opportunities are plentiful and accessible."
The Culinary Arts Program involves the art of preparing and cooking foods. The student, also known as the culinary artist, will be responsible for skillfully preparing a meal pleasing to the taste buds, as well as the eyes.
"In this class, students will have the opportunity to develop recipes and preparation techniques from famous chefs with the use of technology to assist them in the kitchen," Blakley said.
She noted that students will be amazed at the careers that involve culinary arts, such as consultants and designers that develop menus and layouts for dining rooms, food writers, photographers, hotel/restaurant managers and dietitians. In the classroom, students will have the opportunity to browse The Food Network online to help critique their own skills.
"Who knows what famous person will rise from this class? Remember, Little Debbie had to start somewhere," Blakley said.
In the Early Childhood Education program, students will focus on the stages of childhood development, from birth to 5 years old.
"They will research the history of childcare, become knowledgeable about nutritional laws and regulations in the state, and they will be fascinated to find out why we do things the way we do now, when it comes to childcare," Blakley said.
Students will fine-tune strategies for reading to a baby and then to a 5 year old. They will work hands-on with children in daycares and preschool classes. And, students will have the opportunity to participate in the Family, Careers, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) – formerly Future Homemakers of America – competition.
"They will find out the importance of being knowledgeable in childcare when choosing a career as a childcare provider, pediatric nurse, teacher, teacher assistant, children's photographer, pediatrician, nanny and education specialist. Students have already visited London by way of the Web to find out how interesting it would be to become a nanny," she said.
Culinary Arts and Early Childhood Education programs are designed to complement existing programs offered at Clarke County Career and Technology Center (Vo-Tech), which include Automotive Mechanics Technology, Forestry, and Health Sciences. Adult night classes in certified nursing assistant training and welding are also available.
For more information on any of the career training programs at CCCTC, call (601) 776-5219.

[JURIST] AP is reporting that the federal judge in the CIA leak case against former Vice-Presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby [defense profile] has granted part of Libby's request to issue subpoenas to TIME magazine and the New York Times for correspondence and other journalistic materials related to the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity [JURIST news archive].1:33 PM ET - Judge Reggie B. Walton's memorandum opinion [PDF] is now available online. Concluding a 40-page judgment, he wrote:
The First Amendment does not protect news reporters or news organizations from producing documents when the news reporters are themselves critical to both the indictment and prosecution of criminal activity....[T]here can [also] be no doubt that the defendant could overcome any common law reporters privilege. First, as already stated, the only documents that are at issue are those that are relevant and admissible. Accordingly, those documents, by their very nature, are documents that will make it more or less probable that the defendant committed the charged offenses. Specifically, the documents sought by the defendant here will challenge the credibility and recollection of the news reporters whose conversations with the defendant form the factual predicate for several offenses in the indictment. Thus, these documents are crucial to the defendants case and go the heart of his defense. Moreover, the very nature of these documents, i.e., reporters notes and their draft articles, could only be obtained from the movants; thus, there are no alternative sources for acquiring these documents.

Once considered an elite prospect, Brett Wallace now has few lingering believers. The 2008 1st round pick has already been with four organizations, and is currently passing time in the Pacific Coast League at Oklahoma City, Triple-A affiliate of the Astros. Houston gave Wallace ample opportunity to prove his worth in 2011, but he effectively squandered the 350+ PA, posting a .259 AVG and a .110 ISO, which is pretty miserable coming from a 1B. During a brief stint in the bigs earlier this year, the 25-year-old was much improved, batting .333/.429/.583 in 42 PA. Granted, it's a small sample, but it conjured memories of why we touted Wallace in the first place — outstanding plate coverage, lightning-quick hands, beautiful lefty stroke, advanced approach, power potential… the works, really, from a hitting perspective. Jeff Luhnow — Houston's brilliant 1st-year GM, and the man who drafted Wallace in 2008 while handling player procurement for the Cardinals — recently acknowledged that the first baseman should resurface in the bigs before long, which is kind of an ambiguous timetable. Regardless, Wallace's Triple-A production has been big of recent (.371/.476/.600 through last ten), and he could be useful in NL-Only and deep mixed formats should he return to Houston anytime soon.

The Run Down
Unfortunately for the likes of Mike Trout and Garret Richards, the Angels spent big this offseason, and in turn, they seem to have clogged up any prospect throughways. Barring injury, I don't see much opportunity in 2012 for this Los Angeles farm system. Trout is a top overall prospect and anyone drafting in keepers should definitely consider him. Richards will compete for the fifth starter role, and there are a handful of arms who could get a chance in the bullpen, but beyond that, there isn't much fantasy relevance just yet. Looking a little further ahead, the Angels' system could yield quite a bit of fantasy production, as Trout and Richards settle into regular roles along with Jean Segura and 2010 first-rounder, Kaleb Cowart.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Washington, D.C. (January 14, 2010)—Camden R. Fine, president and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA), today launched Finer Points, a blog that will feature regular contributions about the community banking industry and ICBA's advocacy efforts.
"I'm looking forward to having this new online platform to share ICBA's views and opinions about the issues and concerns of our nation's more than 8,000 community banks," Fine said. "As our country continues to feel the pain from the economic fallout caused by Wall Street and the nation's too-big-to-fail institutions, it's more important than ever that the voice of Main Street community banks is heard loud and clear so that community banks can continue to serve the needs of their local customers for generations to come."
In his first Finer Points blog entry, Fine outlines the core principles of ICBA. "If I didn't believe passionately in the importance of community banks, I couldn't do my job," Fine wrote. "And if I didn't believe just as passionately in the core principles of ICBA, I couldn't head up the only organization that speaks exclusively for community banks."
Fine's blog will be updated weekly and as vital community banking issues arise.

Taking a step back in time, the concert followed the tried and true formula of storytelling, good natured "zingers" and music - even commercials - made famous by the live radio broadcasts from the Grand Ole Opry. The Canadian singer/songwriter performed a selection of tunes from his most recent CD, Classics II, a collection of traditional country standards, as well as several chart toppers created by the likes of music legends George Jones, Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash. The multiple award winning musician was even joined by his band for a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday for one lucky audience member.

The 2010 enactment of the Affordable Care Act wasn't the end of our nation's efforts to reform our health system: it was the beginning of a new phase of work. To supplement the overviews and information provided on our ACA Basics page, this page provides information about the implementation process, as well as implementation challenges we face.
APHA and external resources are listed below.
Public health professionals: Looking for resources to help you educate your community about the Marketplaces and other ACA reforms?
Consumers: Looking for information about how the ACA will affect you?
Go back to the main page of the health reform section of APHA's website for resources and links to the official websites of the ACA and the Health Insurance Marketplaces.
Other frequently asked questions
1. When do the different provisions of the ACA go into effect? 2. How is the law being implemented at the federal level? 3. Where can I find information about my state's progress implementing the ACA?4. What are the implications of the Supreme Court's Affordable Care Act decision on the continued implementation of the law?5. Where can I find information about Congressional attempts to repeal the ACA? 6. How is APHA involved with the ACA?
2. How is the law being implemented at the federal level? After Congress passed and the President signed the ACA in 2010, it became the job of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies to implement the law. This is largely done through the rulemaking, or regulatory, process. While the laws that Congress passes are often broadly written, the federal rules that interpret them are detailed outlines of how the laws will work. An important part of the federal rulemaking process is public commenting on early drafts, or "proposed" rules. The federal government must consider those comments as they make revisions to the official, "final" versions of their rules. This Office of the Federal Register guide provides a helpful introduction and overview of the rulemaking process.
Although the departments have been issuing health reform regulations since 2010, a number of important regulations have been released since the November 2012 elections.
In November and December 2012, the following rules were released:
In January and early February 2013, additional rules were released on the following topics:

3. Where can I find information about my state's progress implementing the ACA?APHA recommends several great resources for tracking state progress on creating health insurance exchanges, funding states have received through various ACA provisions, and states' intentions regarding the Medicaid expansion, and other topics. See below. (FAQ top)
4. What are the implications of the Supreme Court's Affordable Care Act decision on the continued implementation of the law?On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. This means that the law will continue to move forward as planned, except that the federal government's power to enforce the Medicaid expansion is limited. See below for links to implementation timelines or visit our Supreme Court Decision page for more information about the ruling. (FAQ top)
5. Where can I find information about Congressional attempts to repeal the ACA?See our ACA Advocacy page for this information, and for APHA letters to Congress and other actions taken to protect the ACA. (FAQ top)
6. How is APHA involved with the ACA? Since the early 1900s, APHA has been a strong voice for universal coverage for health care, a health system that emphasizes prevention instead of treatment, and policies and reforms that promote social and economic conditions conducive to individual and community health. In 2009, APHA released its Health Reform Agenda, which summarized and highlighted the most critical changes we must make to improve the public's health, based on longstanding APHA policies and the best current evidence. During the health reform debate, APHA vigorously advocated for these changes, and was pleased that many of them were addressed in the Affordable Care Act. This 2010 document summarizes provisions in the health reform law relevant to APHA's agenda for health reform.
Since the ACA was passed in 2010, APHA has been at the forefront of promoting and protecting the critical public health provisions in the ACA.
APHA is also a trusted source of analysis and information about the law's prevention and public health provisions, and is committed to helping its members, affiliates, and the public understand and adapt to the law's reforms. Finally, APHA is one of five public health organizations that have received funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to provide capacity building assistance (CBA) to state, tribal, local, and territorial health departments as part of the National Public Health Improvement Initiative (NPHII), which is funded through the ACA.

Does anyone know why Photoshop has been replaced with Illustrator in Tech Comm Suite 4?
Adobe has decided to tweak the bundle that is offered within the TCS; I don't think it's possible for them to offer a user the option to have PS or AI installed within the same bundled installer.
As I said before, when this decision was made, questions about retaining the prior version of PS were raised by us beta testers. We we told that you could still keep the existing version of PS installed with earlier versions of TCS and add AI to it with TCS4.
You do realize that this is a user-to-user forum, right? I don't work for Adobe; I just use their products - I don't get any more say in what they Re: Photoshop vs. Illustrator decides to do or not do except by complaining just like anybody else.
I am also shocked by this decision! All day long I use Photoshop for my user manuals as all the figures are bitmaps. Importing CAO drawings are only made by screen captures which are also bitmaps. Of course Illustrator is a plus but cannot replace Photoshop. I only hope that if I upgrade in TCS4 I will keep Photoshop. Someboby can confirm that ?
Adobe needs to learn to listen to their customers as opposed to a LIMITED NUMBER OF BETA TESTERS. This change is inexcuseable. I did not realize the change until my machine required replacement. Installed TCS4 and then had to install photoshop from TCS3.5 as I USE IT DAILY! This is very poor planning on the part of Adobe.

The Kearney City Council candidates are making their final pitch to voters.
Larry Butler is a home grown product of Kearney along with his wife and two sons. Butler is a local business attorney. He's heavily involved in many city boards and he considers himself an independent business person and that's what he says is lacking on the council now. Butler says he wants to be the one to fill that void.
"I'm fairly conservative in my fiscal views. I don't believe in just promoting tax to build up revenue for future use unless we have a utilization for it now," said Butler. "If I vote to spend more for the city council it is going to be my skin in the game."
Butler says for Kearney to maintain its business friendly environment they need to encourage growth.
Butler also says he wants to continue to work on larger projects like the technology park to spur more growth.

Savage Returning to WABC In New York
The Michael Savage team told Radio Ink last night "The Savage Nation" is returning to WABC in New York on December 3. Savage will be heard from 9PM to 11PM. The John Batchelor show currently runs from 9PM to midnight on WABC. Savage says, "Returning to my hometown of New York City is a big milestone in my radio career. When I was on WABC (before WOR) I actually beat the Yankees in some books."
Savage also returns to Washington and will air on WMAL. He says, "On WMAL, I will use this gift to act as a watchdog not a lapdog." Savage is now heard on over 150 Cumulus affiliates.

AT&T pushes quick-messaging phones
LAS VEGAS--AT&T execs said there is big opportunity in selling mid-range phones to consumers who think smartphones are too expensive and too complicated.
Executives talked about this new cell phone category they call "quick messaging devices" on Wednesday at an event at the CTIA tradeshow here.
What is a quick-messaging phone? Think the LG Neon and Samsung Propel.
